Hungarian Grand Prix2021 · Race team radio

George RUSSELLThat was very dangerous from Sainz from the pit exit.

EngineerHow is the balance?

Yuki TSUNODAI think front a little bit started to be grained

EngineerBut

Yuki TSUNODAlast lap was not too bad

EngineerFor

Yuki TSUNODAme the rear is quite strong

EngineerThis intensity of rain will remain though we have some could have some isolated heavier rain cells But basically for the next half an hour, it should be this intensity

Lewis HAMILTONLook, if it stays like this, this is not inters. What you can see there is it's drying. It's almost drying as it's coming down. So this is very much on the verge of slicks, I would say.

EngineerI

Lewis HAMILTONhope the rain does come because I think it's we should have started slicks

EngineerSo we're looking about 25 minutes of this level of rain then it will get slightly heavier and then at the end dry out.

Sergio PEREZClear

Engineerto

Sergio PEREZcheck out. We have conditions as they have been worsened and staffing here. Yep, cleared.

EngineerIt

Lewis HAMILTONis, it is.

Antonio GIOVINAZZIOkay box, we gamble

Lewis HAMILTONThere's so much debris.

EngineerCopy. Need to track out here.

EngineerThey

Charles LECLERCdidn't stop! They went into me.

EngineerWe need to stop.

EngineerOK, Max, for info, we have lost the barge board on the right-hand side, lost the barge board right-hand side.

Max VERSTAPPENThe whole thing?

EngineerYes.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, right side, something's definitely broken, but I'll keep you posted.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerWhat I need you for, safety car.

Lewis HAMILTONIt's very greasy, very slippery.

EngineerI

Valtteri BOTTASthink we are out. Sorry guys, that's it.

Max VERSTAPPENMate, what the f*** happened there?

EngineerI think one of the McLarens has hit you

Charles LECLERCThey didn't stop. They went into me.

EngineerWe need to stop.

Lewis HAMILTONIt's definitely going to be dry and quick.

EngineerYeah, copy Lewis.

Pierre GASLYAny more rain coming?

EngineerNegative, negative.

EngineerAt this rate, everyone is going to box. Everybody. Understood.

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, it's dry.

EngineerYeah, it could be loose, so box box.

EngineerOk Esteban, you are leading the Grand Prix. Let's go. Copy that.

EngineerAm I last? Yeah, I found this. Yeah, the whole field pitted.

Lewis HAMILTONCome on, guys. Get on it for the rest of the race, all right?

EngineerYeah, Lewis, we are on it. Verstappen still has damage. You're going to be the fastest man out there easily. We can still win this, bud.

EngineerDRS enabled, let's get past Latifi now.

Lewis HAMILTONI can't even get close, guys.

George RUSSELLIf you need to compromise my race to help Nicky do it, have a box early to avoid the undercut for anyone else. Prioritise Nicky.

EngineerAntonio, we got a 10 seconds penalty, we have to box the slab to get the penalty, 10 seconds. Speed on pit lane, pit lane speed.

Lewis HAMILTONJust no grip out here.

EngineerThe wind is picking up a little bit, still tailwind turn 1, entry 10

EngineerNot bad with half a cup.

Lewis HAMILTONYou've got no grip out here, man.

EngineerYou've

Lewis HAMILTONgot no grip out here, man.

EngineerCopy that, Lewis. Front left calliper is still hot.

George RUSSELLFront's working better while I'm pushing harder on them.

EngineerThat's a good lap Daniel, good lap.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, that's all I got for now.

Lewis HAMILTONI

Engineercan't really

Lewis HAMILTONknow what to say guys, I can't get close to people.

Kimi RAIKKONENBut every time we have some chance, something f***ing other happens.

EngineerOkay, so now we're going for plan A plus five, plan A plus five.

EngineerNow you've had some clear air can have an update on the front wing still happy with two turns for the medium

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, no more than two though

EngineerEverything you've got this lap please Max

Nicholas LATIFIGot a weird oversteer 13 back pressure. Okay,

Engineerall good on my side

George RUSSELLAre we still going long? I feel like I can push this tyre much quicker.

EngineerPush, push.

Carlos SAINZLet's be patient, guys. Let's

Engineerbe. And box. Carlos, box.

Carlos SAINZNo, guys, guys. They have a lot of things. No.

EngineerOkay now push. Vamos!

George RUSSELLtell me how high the post look

Engineerafter the left-hand side tires for now

EngineerOk Niki, we need to push, we are racing Hamilton behind

EngineerAre

Lewis HAMILTONwe on lap 43 already?

EngineerThat's the laps remaining Lewis, laps remaining.

Fernando ALONSOThe sky is getting black.

EngineerNothing on the radar at the moment.

EngineerTurn 12 is pretty strong tailwind. Turn 12 is strong tailwind.

Lewis HAMILTONWhat's

Engineerour

Lewis HAMILTONtarget finish at?

EngineerWe're fighting for a podium Lewis. It's gonna be hard. I know you can do it Is

Lewis HAMILTONthat the guy who has last stop for what?

EngineerCopy, we think so

EngineerWe can push more on Thais, 23-0.

Yuki TSUNODAThere's still 36 left. Impossible if I push.

EngineerAwesome. Outlap critical.

EngineerI need

Lewis HAMILTONa scissor. Shoot me, man.

Fernando ALONSONot much left on the tyres, I guess. Yeah, cover that.

EngineerNot long now, not long.

EngineerOkay, Max, what's the balance limitation at the moment, please, mate?

Max VERSTAPPENThere's

Engineerno

Max VERSTAPPENlimitation, it's just broken. There's, on the shell, it's there.

EngineerCopy.

Pierre GASLYThat's what we'll

Engineerdo

Pierre GASLYit.

EngineerGreat job, Keo.

EngineerOkay, Vettel 1.4 behind. He locked up the front since the turn one last lap.

EngineerLatifi is on offer here as well if you can get past Russell

Carlos SAINZYeah, I have the feeling Hamilton is going to box again.

EngineerWatch for Hamilton behind. Copy that. And he will box behind Alonso, so we should be safe to stay there till the end.

Lewis HAMILTONTyre's got second wind.

EngineerThat's great to hear.

EngineerOk, loose the head down, it's going to be hammer time all the way.

EngineerOk Pierre, we will swap in turn 1, driver swap turn 1

Pierre GASLYOk

EngineerHow many cars, where am I at? How many cars are you going to make me overtake? Sir Lewis, 4 cars to overtake for the win, we can do this, Ocon 25 seconds up the road, he's doing 22.8 I'm in 4th still You are P5 at the moment, P5 Lewis you can win this

EngineerSo currently Ocon is holding us up here, Hamilton pitted and he's done an 18.7 first lap, so he'll be with us with 10 laps to go.

EngineerDaniel, we're considering the undercut for Russell. How are the tyres?

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, tyres are f***ed. Getting very damaged behind him. I don't think they can last much longer.

Yuki TSUNODACould you say to the beer, hurry up, because what's

Engineerthe

Yuki TSUNODApoint of going on this road? Dirty air.

EngineerYuki, we see everything, so keep your head down, keep focused.

Engineer14 laps to go. That's good, that's good.

EngineerHang in there Daniel, you can do this!

EngineerAnd a long shot behind. 22-1. Still defending guard.

EngineerThe

Lewis HAMILTONknicks are more powerful than the knicks

EngineerVerstappen 0.9, 0.9 good job, good lap

EngineerSo there's the early overtake, it's probably the best bit, so early press.

Lewis HAMILTONHe's all over the place.

Max VERSTAPPENOkay, come on.

EngineerCall it, mate.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, rears are going, copy, copy, quite a lot now for phase 4

Pierre GASLYWe have a problem with the shift from east coast to east.

EngineerOkay, copy.

EngineerLatifi is on offer here as well if you can get past

Lewis HAMILTONGuys, did you see he just moved over on me, man? Come on!

EngineerCopy, Lewis, we saw that.

Lewis HAMILTONThat speed is so dangerous, man.

Max VERSTAPPENAh, it's just impossible to follow.

EngineerCopy Max, 5 laps to go mate, 5 laps.

EngineerYou can use overtake at mid corner turn 14 every lap use overtake

EngineerYes guys! Well done mate! You just won the Hungarian Grand Prix! Well done mate!

EngineerWell done. Well done, Sebastian.

Sebastian VETTELP2, woohoo! Oh man, I tried, I tried, I tried the whole race. Man, following is so difficult, we're faster.

EngineerSorry,

Sebastian VETTELguys.

EngineerWow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Okay, remind us to drink, please. That was awesome. That, uh, yeah. Allez Alpine, allez les Bleus, yes, yes!

EngineerGreat work Lewis. Battled back to P3. Disappointing result compared to what could have been but that was an amazing drive.

Lewis HAMILTONNotice this James, you fought like a champion today. Well done. Could have been an easy win.

EngineerCopy Lewis. So Ocon P1, Bethlehem P2, you're P3. We've got Verstappen P10.

Lewis HAMILTONAnyways, guys, awesome job through the pitstops. Mega pitstops. Thank you so much for your continued hard work. Let's go and take a good break now and come back. Can't be giving up points like today again. Let's keep pushing. Lewis, it was very difficult at the beginning, first on the road to make the judgement but that's on us, we gave it. Sensational drive. Thanks Otto.

EngineerWe

Lewis HAMILTONlive and we learn.

EngineerYep. Has

Lewis HAMILTONanything been done about the dangerous driving?

EngineerNot seen or heard anything yet, Lewis.

Lewis HAMILTONDoesn't matter, it's done now.

EngineerWell done, man. Way to hold him off. You did a lot of good racing out there today. You finished P13. Good racing, Mick. Fun to watch. Oh,

Mick SCHUMACHERthank you. Have fun.

EngineerYou did a lot with that car today. Good job. Thank

Mick SCHUMACHERyou, boys, for bringing her back to one piece. Cycle race. Thank you. You're amazing. Mick, congrats. Peter is amazing and also a testament. Well done, mate.

EngineerYes mate, P9, we need to stop at the pit exit, stop the car at the pit exit, stop the car at the pit exit. P9 mate, P9!

George RUSSELLFantastic, fantastic! Yes guys! Yes, yes, yes! We deserve that, we deserve that!

EngineerThat's two and a half years of graft right there, P8, P9.

George RUSSELLYes, amazing job, amazing job. Well done everybody, well done everybody. Come on! Well done Nicolas, amazing job, both cars, both teams.

EngineerGeorge, thank you so much, great race, absolutely fantastic, both cars in the points, we could not have expected that. Thank you so much, great job, and great job defending, fantastic George.

EngineerOK Daniel, that's the checkered flag, P12. Mate, that was tough with the damage to the floor, we know we were down on downforce from that. Yep,

Daniel RICCIARDOyep, yeah I know, nothing in our control. I appreciate you just trying to fix what you could.

EngineerYeah,

Daniel RICCIARDOobviously painful for everyone.

EngineerOk Kimi, that's the checkered flag, more charge please, PA11, difficult race.

EngineerNot bad for an old guy, Fernando.

Fernando ALONSOYes, still doing my best, but this is an amazing track for this team and we did it again.

EngineerCongratulations, driver of the day in Hungary. Enjoy your summer shutdown.

EngineerWell done, Max. That was a valiant effort today. Could be the most important point you've taken of your career, I'd say. Well done. That was a very good drive, Max. Considering the car that you got, you drove the wheels off it. So, as GP said, that's a valuable one point today.

Max VERSTAPPENI tried everything, but it was super hard to drive.

EngineerThere's a long, long way to go in this.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, well, we'll come back stronger.

EngineerYeah, and luck will change. I think Bottas has a five grid place penalty at the next race for playing Skittles down there at turn one.

EngineerI wish you could see what was going on in the pit lane right now. Reminder to drink, please. Reminder to drink as well. Fernando came fifth, but he is probably the reason that he won. He held off Hamilton for a long time. What a legend. What a legend. Man of the day. Esteban is marching. Fantastic job, man. You're a race winner in Formula 1. Congratulations. Thank you very much. Thanks for the first victory of Alpine. Thank you.

EngineerSecond time you need to stop the car. We need to stop the car. We need to stop the car We need to stop the car. Stop the car, please. Stop the car Stop the car on track stop the car on track Nikki congratulation Yep, go ahead. Yeah, yeah, there was there was some very harsh shifting towards the end. I don't know if something was damaging I felt a very harsh shifting Okay, is the car okay? Or is it rolling? Okay, and jump out of the car. It's it's rolling right now If I release it unless I put it in first, so let it roll somewhere where it's safe and not rolling on its own And then jump out Yeah, I felt like we were maybe losing Something some power or whatever Okay, congrats Nikki congrats if you still can still hear me great job. That's p8 amazing Amazing. Remember you have to go wait yourself wait yourself and And put back steering and everything

EngineerOof,

Carlos SAINZstressful at the end. Yeah, it was tight at the end. Yeah, I tried my best, guys. Obviously, from 15th we cannot be too disappointed. But, yeah, let's continue. Second half of the season is ours. Yeah, that's true. So, yeah, let's push from now on.

EngineerAll right, mate. Nice work there. Nice work. You made this possible as well. Esteban won the race in front of Vettel.

EngineerAnd P-7, Yuki P-7. And... Yeah.

Yuki TSUNODAWell done, guys. I think, to be honest, I'm not happy for this car. So unstable, I think, whole run. Entry stability, so always poor. Yeah, I think we struggle whole week for my car. Yeah, we have to face off this one, really.

EngineerYeah, it's all understood, Yuki. All understood. Anyway, congratulation for the race. Was... Was not easy. So we bring it home.

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, we take it.

EngineerOk, that's a fast test lap, yeah. Good job. Ok, obviously a very hard day for the team. Ocon P1, Vettel P2.

Pierre GASLYYeah, I really think we deserved more today. I don't know what to say, but...

EngineerYeah, it's just a hard luck in Turn 1. I think that was it. Just hard luck in Turn 1.
