Monaco Grand Prix2021 · Practice 3 team radio

EngineerAnd radio check, pit exit. Ok. Ok, good for me too.

EngineerMore push, more push.

Kimi RAIKKONENI'm

Engineeron

Kimi RAIKKONENtop, that's the inside ball of the machine.

EngineerOk, all good, all good, no damage, nobody behind. Ok, everything looks good, so, mode charge, mode push, sorry.

EngineerHow's the track is it fully dry now? It looks fully dry on TV.

Daniel RICCIARDOYep. Yeah, it seems good

EngineerDaniel feedback on turn 10 looks like a good step pressure at the bike looks good keep working on extending phase one to two but what you did looks like a good step okay

Daniel RICCIARDOjust

Engineermake sure with holding the brake pressure in phase one that you are releasing to turn in bit more brake release to turn in

EngineerStarting last time lap. I had to

Nikita MAZEPINabort.

EngineerCover that, Latifi 3 seconds behind. If you want to get a feel on this lap for the balance or if you have a good feel we can box now. Latifi 2 behind pushing. I

Nikita MAZEPINcan finish if you want.

EngineerOk, let's finish the lap, finish the lap.

Nicholas LATIFIThe bottom right box for the quickflip is not working.

EngineerAnd to another push, and to another push. Functionality is working. That's just the dash.

EngineerDaniel you're doing a good job with the braking the only place turn five initial bite you're on the limit with front locking so just take care of initial bite turn five before you get the car straight Tsunoda plus three so

Daniel RICCIARDOstruggling with traction

Pierre GASLYWhat what is this like what the is this guy doing? Can you explain me? Yeah, I'm right behind you Yeah, the guy literally I'm coming. Why didn't you let me pass? Unbelievable

Carlos SAINZYeah, Checo, clearly impeding Ghastly now, to overtake me. OK,

Engineercopy. I'm clear from behind.

Max VERSTAPPENI was too close to the guy's head.

EngineerI think it was 4.8 to start the lap, obviously Ocon didn't have a very quick lap, it was a 16, so no we're predicting that.

Pierre GASLYHonestly, he's

Engineera

Pierre GASLYf***ing idiot.

EngineerAnd let's go scenario nine, please scenario nine

Fernando ALONSOOkay, car is better today

EngineerOkay understood and how's the balance?

Fernando ALONSOPoor traction But yeah, I think it's a good direction.

EngineerOkay understood Okay, let's do one more lap

EngineerSo beep out and recharge off when you're ready. It looks like you'll have to let Tsunoda through now. Maybe also Checo as well. Checo at turn 18 apex. Nice one.

EngineerSo, fast cool, fast cool, just

Lance STROLLcool surface. Tyres felt much better on that lap. Copy

Engineerthat Lance, they were slightly cooler than the previous lap. Leclerc pushing behind. Yeah, that was a really late call Brad. Yeah, copy that, yeah understood, yeah. Some people are pushing continuously I'm afraid.

Daniel RICCIARDOYes, so it's still just struggling a bit with the rear

EngineerCopy. Do you want to try less front wing?

Daniel RICCIARDOI'm happy happy to try

EngineerBut

Daniel RICCIARDOI feel it's it's probably more mechanical Like traction and stuff.

EngineerOkay understood

EngineerWhat

Lando NORRISthe f*** is this guy doing?

EngineerOkay, next car then will be Stroll. This is dangerous! Yep, we understand, we'll pass the message.

EngineerBit of braking turn 18 to Verstappen

Pierre GASLYBase sectors

EngineerOkay, so we are currently p9 still and sector is very aligned in all sectors between p7 p8 in all sectors I Think we can do a little bit better with our rear tires for the last two corners

Pierre GASLYYeah, you need to help me with the brakes. I can't do anything. It's just overheating. So you need to advise me Brakes are breaking

Max VERSTAPPENAll right, rear tires are gone.

EngineerOK, we'll box this lap, Max. Box this lap.

EngineerA

Pierre GASLYlot of wheelspin

EngineerCopy that, let's box now if that's ok with you Let's box through the pitlane if that's ok with you now

Pierre GASLYI've lost efficiency a lot in turn 5 now, going forward on the offset Copy that

Pierre GASLYOkay, we need to have a look what to do for 18 because over at the beer, anti-breaking is also... We have a plan.

EngineerOK Esteban, I suggest we box now, box now.

Esteban OCONCopy.

EngineerAlright, so a good first run. When you're back in the garage we will have a chat about balance. We will do a practice pit stop at the end of this run but we will not be going out so no launch. No cars behind at the moment.

EngineerHey Yuki, we can do one more push, one more push. Do you need more rotation now?

Yuki TSUNODANo, it's enough.

EngineerCopy, let's do one more push. Charge off and push. I

Yuki TSUNODAwant to have more support in the rear for fast speed corner. Like turn 3 and fast gain. But also I want to have rotation a little bit more at the slow speed corner.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerIt's all clear behind, Sainz should push next to you. Copy,

George RUSSELLthat's not ready.

EngineerCopy, so Sainz ahead 7 seconds and you've got a 30 second gap behind.

EngineerTrack is clear, you can push.

Carlos SAINZYeah, no, no confidence to push there.

EngineerOkay, you can take care about the rear and push in the next.

Carlos SAINZYeah, first two sectors is too much understood, then last sector where you need to be a group, then your tower is working.

George RUSSELLCopy, there's no confidence with the tyres, foot will slide them Still rear limited, turn 15 entry, no confidence

EngineerDaniel, turn 10, you're using everything at the bite, but there's more capacity later in phase one.

Daniel RICCIARDOOK.

EngineerLet's have strat two. Strat two.

EngineerSo much understeer. Yeah, we can see that. Do you think we need to make an adjustment on the flap? Or we try with the mapping? We've got some ideas on mapping.

Pierre GASLYMapping, we need

Engineerto do that. OK, so entry 4 on EB2. Entry 4, EB2. We can see it starts quite early and we are very locked at that phase.

EngineerLet's see if in the wall turn 16, red flag, stay positive, no overtaking, no overtaking, and push the right button, push the right button.

Lando NORRISIs the incident ahead of me somewhere or past it?

EngineerIt's in swimming pool two. I think it's the exit of swimming pool two.

Nicholas LATIFII crashed, I did. Okay, are you okay mate? Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.

EngineerDouble yellow 16, double yellow 16

Charles LECLERCYeah, box

EngineerOk, box now, box

Nikita MAZEPINno radio, no radio, radio

Engineercheck Nikita, radio check Nikita, no

Nikita MAZEPINradio, okay

EngineerI'll continue to radio check you, radio check Nikita, radio check Nikita, good good good, copy that, hear you well now too

Sergio PEREZI got the Ferraris, they blocked me.

Pierre GASLYCan you check the steering because it feels strange like it feels light lighter on the right compared to the left

EngineerOkay, we check

Pierre GASLYLike something is strange.

EngineerIs that different from the previous one? Oh, it's been there

Pierre GASLYDifferent

Engineerokay, we check and the tires are very cold the bus leave your tires are very cold

EngineerOkay, I've lost your GPS, Max, so just keep your eyes on your mirrors.

Sergio PEREZI was locking a lot

Engineerof

Sergio PEREZrears in the middle sector

Engineerand we need to focus exit turn one and don't over push apex turn six

Pierre GASLYAgain, shift last corner.

Mick SCHUMACHERI don't know what to say, I'm very sorry about that.

Max VERSTAPPENI'm not sure what tyres are going to get better.

EngineerUnderstood, we've got yellows up at turn 4 as well, Schumacher's stopped, double yellows turn 4, he's in the barriers on the exit, so keep to the inside line please Max, around Casino, inside line, right hand side, turn 4, car in the middle of the track, and it's red flag, dash positive, dash positive. Stay well away from the debris. That was perfect, you missed all the debris there, nice job.

George RUSSELLIt says 53%, definitely not down two.

EngineerIt's rear brake temps, the issue, rear brake temps.

George RUSSELLYeah, I know, but I landed it with what you just told me to do.

EngineerOK, so we're boxing this lap.
