Dutch Grand Prix 2021: Practice 2 team radio

Every message, in the order it happened

1. George RUSSELLWilliams14:08:33

   Engineer: So we think the front left is low by five

   George RUSSELL: Should we just commit to a prep? I mean these tires are too cold. Where's Mike in it?

   Engineer: He's within six. I think we're gonna get compromised either way with a prep

   George RUSSELL: Yeah, of course Set mode

   Engineer: five then mode five

2. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:10:32

   Engineer: Red flag MAX, dash positive, dash positive, dash positive, and box.

3. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri14:10:57

   Engineer: Red flag, red flag, follow the reference, box, box, stay positive, plus.

4. Esteban OCONAlpine14:18:09

   Engineer: There was some clutch noise when I pulled out. OK, copy that, we'll just have a quick look, nothing concerning so far, so I think we're about 4 or 5 from the front, so we're in an ideal spot. And temps are all good.

5. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri14:22:03

   Engineer: Charge on as soon as you can on the line. Good job. Ok, next lap, consider the toe goal instead of offset for turn 11. And back to minus 1.

6. Sergio PEREZRed Bull14:22:52

   Engineer: Cancel the handbrake, or rather, cancel red button, cancel red button.

7. Esteban OCONAlpine14:25:11

   Esteban OCON: Have a look maybe at turn 10 braking, what we could do.

   Engineer: I

   Esteban OCON: feel a bit of under-rotation and a brake, but a bit of movement and a brake.

   Engineer: Understood, we will have a look.

8. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren14:26:37

   Engineer: Cars on hard look a bit slower than the cars on soft. So the fastest hard is Gasly, 1.12.7.

   Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, I think I'm happy to box. I'm not sure what we're

   Engineer: going

   Daniel RICCIARDO: to get out of this moving forward. So I'm happy to focus on the other compounds.

   Engineer: Copy. Happy to box. Box this lap.

9. Fernando ALONSOAlpine14:28:22

   Engineer: If you're happy we can box now?

   Fernando ALONSO: I don't know, you tell me. I was hoping for more laps.

   Engineer: Yeah, lost a bit of time with that red flag unfortunately.

10. Esteban OCONAlpine14:29:34

    Engineer: Okay, so we suggest you could go half a percent forwards, brake by, it's for turn 9 and 10 only, so you need to do that on the adjusters, and reminder for yellow modifier as well. Perez, 7 seconds back, he's pushing this lap. Okay, we can afford to slow up front, temps are plus 5 currently, reminder we're going for 0, we can go to brake 2 when you're ready.

11. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:31:52

    Engineer: And if you can pre-select engine 6. By point? Yes, by point and engine 6, target 1 red. I'm

    Charles LECLERC: going to crash I think with this thing, but I will try.

12. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri14:32:47

    Engineer: So turn 7 entry speed now is close to maximum Mazepin pushing behind. We are still margin in turn 8 and turn 9 we can brake 5 meters later

13. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:34:37

    Engineer: and tyre 6, tyre 6 when you can.

14. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas14:36:47

    Engineer: Okay, can you go mode slow? Mode slow. If you can do CSL 5, you have Gasly behind. And then it's double yellow up here for Nikita. Double yellow.

15. Sergio PEREZRed Bull14:41:44

    Engineer: The tyres are in a pretty good window. Nice and positive on the brakes on this outlap.

16. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri14:43:08

    Engineer: It's

    Pierre GASLY: so cold at IS, I don't know what to do.

    Engineer: We think it should be fine, we think it's no problem, we have issues with the front, should be fine.

17. Sergio PEREZRed Bull14:44:17

    Engineer: Watch out for Schumacher behind, he's running sustainably.

18. Carlos SAINZFerrari14:45:13

    Engineer: Yeah, I did a mistake in this again. Yeah, I saw the correction there.

19. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:49:52

    Engineer: You push to turn 3 please, Max from Pitt out. Push to turn 3.

20. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:51:34

    Engineer: Bottas fifth lap on soft a 15.6 that was after a 21

21. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:54:21

    Engineer: So currently front left and rear left equally high

22. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:55:39

    Engineer: So the stop and space 15-1, main losses 10-2, 10-10, 10-11, 12, or around 10th, 10th and a half.

23. Esteban OCONAlpine14:59:26

    Esteban OCON: I'll run on a few stones, have a look at tyre pressures.

    Engineer: Understood, we'll have a look. Just watch turn 7, the front left is getting a bit of a hard time through there.

24. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren15:01:11

    Engineer: and blue harvest seven blue harvest seven test red button before turn seven red button before turn seven Daniel let's box this lap box this lap to get clear air

25. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo15:02:40

    Engineer: So two and a half minutes remaining, no management anymore, no management and mode raise, mode raise.

26. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:03:10

    Engineer: And they're happy to experiment with red button, red button.

27. Esteban OCONAlpine15:05:52

    Esteban OCON: Copy, also worth looking at my brake, my throttle pedal, I think it's gone a bit soft in this session.

    Engineer: Copy that, we'll have a look at that afterwards.

28. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren15:07:23

    Engineer: So Daniel this will be a bite point find one burnout and a first gear launch left hand side preferred So bite point find one burnout first gear launch left hand side preferred
