Mexico City Grand Prix2021 · Practice 2 team radio

EngineerOkay, we're in mode slow, two burnouts, then mode race start, practice start.

EngineerThere is a slippery track message for Turn 12. There was some oil put down in one of the support races. So just have a look at that when you go through.

EngineerOk Kimi, you have no cars behind and you will find a lot of cars on turn 1 probably, so mode push when you're ready.

Lewis HAMILTONThis is insane.

EngineerReminder on slippery section in turn 12.

EngineerThe gap in front is six to battle now. Good to push.

EngineerOK, cool the car as best you can please Max, cool the car on the way in as best you can

EngineerSo turn 12, we think the wind is giving you a bit more aerobalance and the track condition is not great.

Fernando ALONSOThais High School, you tell me if you want another lap or not.

EngineerOk, let's box this lap then, Fernando.

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, these tyres are done man.

George RUSSELLGearbox is gone. I've got it back now. Copy that.

George RUSSELLAlright, I won't change gear for the time being. Can I change gear? Let me know ASAP. Can I? Yes or no? Can I change gear or not? Yes, standby. No gear change for now. Okay.

EngineerCopy, so you can downshift once you're in the pit lane.

Yuki TSUNODAIs there a car in sector 3?

EngineerNo cars in sector 3, just Giovinazzi in front. And nobody behind, so you are alone, you can pace yourself.

EngineerOkay, so we'll get some comments when you're plugged in.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I'm still struggling. But yeah, I hope that there's soft impulsivity.

EngineerYeah, understood.

EngineerOk Yuki, we do a car speed stop and we go out again for a tow training, so it will be the same as before.

EngineerAnd Pierre we want to stay above minus 5 at the rear for the start of the lap if you can please, so 0 minus 5 target Wind is the same direction slightly higher intensity

EngineerSorry for that. I wasn't looking Jamie's looking so good today. Maybe it was that. Look how handsome he is

EngineerAnd Tsunoda we think is at high fuel, obviously gasoline has gone through on the tow.

Engineerand we have headwind into turn 12 same as previous run

EngineerLet us know if you need a flap adjust you can drive through for that

EngineerThere's some time to gain in turn eight and nine

EngineerSo Menlos again, Perez was turn 5, he is braking earlier turn 4 and carrying more speed in turn 5 And a little bit in high speed, that was the two main places

EngineerCan I put you P1, 17.3, Hamilton P2 on a 17.8, Bottas obviously 18.0, your powerful in sectors 2 and 3, just that first sector, Gasly I think got towed by his teammates and Hamilton 300s faster in the first sector, but you're very strong in the final two.

Carlos SAINZYeah, that was a late call,

Engineeror

Carlos SAINZmaybe I impeded a bit too, sorry.

EngineerOkay, you might find you catch Norris he's high fuel See how it goes Okay, let's box recharge That

Max VERSTAPPENwas a shame

EngineerYeah, sorry for that

EngineerLet's keep doing a little bit of management one and four for brakes.

EngineerSo we think this lift and coast is good maybe even a bit more just to help cool the rears It's mainly the rears we want to cool. That'll help your pressures at the rear Consider a click forward and brake balance if you can take it. Good

Yuki TSUNODABig understand high speed

EngineerDiff straight 3, Diff straight 3, entry 4, entry 4, rotation

Charles LECLERCCan I have updates please? Like always, updates all the time please.

EngineerCopy, will do. So at the Monia P7, Sainz lap time 18.6 is P6, P1 Verstappen 17.3

Charles LECLERCWhere am I losing compared to Sainz?

EngineerSo mainly was a snap on entry turn 7 compared to Sainz, the rest is fine.

Esteban OCONAt the moment I'm having the same problem as Austin, the car turning itself.

EngineerSo Bibau to plus one, Bibau to plus one, use white button turn four, this is last timed.

Carlos SAINZI think we need to work on the medium, so I'm happy to go straight in the medium. It's the tire that I had the worst feeling.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerSo we could do up to three more and still get a good run on the medium. How do you feel Taizan now?

Sebastian VETTELYeah, good

EngineerYeah, copy

EngineerSo mode F2, mode F2, and let's sail into the Lifton Coast, so 50 metres into 1, 4 and 12.

Lewis HAMILTONOkay, just look at that second lap there, for 7, 8, 9, I felt better.

EngineerWe could drop all the way back behind Latifi and Ocon.

Max VERSTAPPENI think it's okay here, no?

EngineerYeah, let's stick with where we are. Maybe just use that gap towards the end of this outlet.

EngineerFirst laps from the Mercedes are 21.2 and 21.7.

EngineerMercedes Soft tyre, Hamilton 21.3, Bottas 21.7

Nicholas LATIFIWent off, but I'm okay. They didn't touch anything.

EngineerI want to shape 4 forward. Let's go shape 4 and see what happens with the rears. How is the tires? How is the balance?

Mick SCHUMACHERIt's alright. A bit of a flat spot.

Esteban OCONany pace comparison you have?

EngineerYep stand by. So Stroll's on the medium tyre a couple of laps newer than yours he's lapping low 22s

EngineerWe see pretty high rear locking. If you think front locking is okay, we could try a click forward.

EngineerOK, Lando, minor, purple C9 position 6, purple C9 position 6, and if you want to do the TPM test, just turn the launch map off.

EngineerAyuki manage with spin as much as you can for greening, manage with spin, in front Giovinazzi

Yuki TSUNODAEngine 11 is portable

EngineerEngine braking 5, engine braking 5

Sergio PEREZLet's get out of mode 10.

EngineerOkay, so mode 6, mode 6.

EngineerCome

Yuki TSUNODAon, he's f***ing used to do all this.

EngineerKaiyuki, don't worry, this is Zilap for a P-stop. This is Zilap, so lift off.

Yuki TSUNODALike, really, what's

Engineerthe

Yuki TSUNODApoint? Okay, copy.

Charles LECLERCI'm struggling so much with the engine issues.

EngineerLast lap, we've got track limits, turn 11. Watch for turn 11 exit track limits.

EngineerSo good lap, one more lap, keep pushing.

EngineerOkay lads, that's checkered flag. Cool the brakes and box, box, cool the brakes and box, box.

Pierre GASLYThe brake is again very hot. The pedal is very long.

EngineerOk, take it easy.

Pierre GASLYYeah, very long pedal.
