Portuguese Grand Prix 2021: Practice 1 team radio

Every message, in the order it happened

1. Esteban OCONAlpine11:32:29

   Engineer: Could be some debris somewhere on track or it could be in the pit lane stand by. I think it's pit exit, it is confirmed.

2. Charles LECLERCFerrari11:36:05

   Charles LECLERC: Are the brakes warm? The

   Engineer: rears are on the cold side.

3. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:36:56

   Engineer: And surface temps look cool all round.

4. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas11:38:15

   Engineer: Balance looks tricky. How is it?

   Mick SCHUMACHER: Yeah, it's not easy. Reasonably far a bit, but it's okay.

5. George RUSSELLWilliams11:42:32

   George RUSSELL: Copy, I wouldn't mind doing a couple of consecutive laps here, lacking confidence with

   Engineer: the wind.

6. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren11:45:13

   Engineer: For turn 14 suggest earlier braking to get more minimum speed similar to the simulator compare smaller step than the simulator compare But similar in terms of approach

   Daniel RICCIARDO: Okay

7. Esteban OCONAlpine11:46:19

   Engineer: Okay, so Daniel's just gone quickest on his eighth time lap on this tyre, so I think let's have a good go of it. I think we need to keep building on it.

8. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:50:07

   Engineer: Okay, first time lap attempt, let's put you P3. That's the same lap time as Ricciardo and Bottas. Those lap times for those drivers were at the end of their runs.

9. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes11:51:37

   Engineer: You can keep pushing. Still going quicker.

10. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri11:54:05

    Engineer: Ok, let's go for recharge a couple of corners and then charge off. Position is very good.

11. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull11:55:16

    Engineer: So the tyres have cooled, so just take care, especially fronts.

12. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:58:10

    Engineer: So currently P2, 4 tenths to Valtteri at P1.

13. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri11:58:34

    Engineer: Ok, time was deleted again, time deleted, Max still pushing, turn 3 now, he's coming for us

14. Charles LECLERCFerrari12:00:00

    Engineer: And we have headwind into turn one, same as before.

15. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull12:01:24

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Every other lap in turn 3 I lose the rear due to the handbrake effect, I don't know what's going on there.

    Engineer: OK, understood, we'll have a look.

16. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri12:01:46

    Engineer: Ok Pierre, we can have one more lap, but we'll have to make the garage time short for the soft. Please confirm you're happy with that, we'll have to shorten the garage time. Flap and go.

    Pierre GASLY: Yeah, that's fine. Ok, let's do that then.

17. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams12:03:11

    Nicholas LATIFI: anyways cooling again yeah

    Engineer: it would be good to try to complete the lap nikki you can still push the rest of the lap yeah

    Nicholas LATIFI: but i'm gonna have traffic okay

    Engineer: if you pass me at the third one what do you mean with you perez with you perez with you watch perez watch perez no one after perez 11 seconds let's try not to abort too many laps mate we need to build up yeah but

    Nicholas LATIFI: what do you want me to do waste a lot of tires yeah

    Engineer: the first lap is not the good one we need to build up confidence and temperature in the tires so we need some push lap mate

18. Nikita MAZEPINHaas12:05:28

    Nikita MAZEPIN: I bought it because of MiG. Okay,

    Engineer: understood, understood.

19. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas12:06:17

    Engineer: In terms of the traffic, we didn't make clear that you were pushing again, so that's my communication problem. It wasn't Nikita who didn't know you were pushing again.

20. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren12:08:00

    Engineer: Okay, that's another good lap. Shame about the snap in the exit of the final corner. That was a good lap. You are P4 with that one.

21. Esteban OCONAlpine12:08:59

    Engineer: Ok let's box now please Esteban, so good job, so currently P10 in the tables and there's a few soft runners up above us as well, so nice work so far, let's box now.

22. Sergio PEREZRed Bull12:10:01

    Engineer: I'd like to get onto the softs. If we go for another lap now that would cost us a lap on the softs.

23. George RUSSELLWilliams12:11:23

    George RUSSELL: What the hell?

24. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams12:11:56

    Nicholas LATIFI: We have to change the break-off set on the in-and-out line. It's too much. There's always a delta.

25. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull12:18:41

    Engineer: What a joke mate, I can't even see where I'm going, so much vibration. Listen Max, if it's a safety concern for you, we're happy to box. I'll just visit the dentist after the weekend.

26. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull12:20:57

    Max VERSTAPPEN: It's impossible to drive it.

27. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas12:23:27

    Engineer: Wait, was he on the high fuel or low fuel? He's on low fuel but doing sustained running like he but I don't know what he's going to do now Okay,

    Mick SCHUMACHER: because I think he was mad that I was in his way. I'm sorry about that. Okay, understood

28. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas12:25:43

    Mick SCHUMACHER: Can I use DRS to pass the mask? I

    Engineer: think it's better just to make a gap if we have a big pace difference, so we've got a huge gap behind, just give them a little gap, give yourself like a 5-7 second gap.

29. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes12:26:33

    Engineer: Is

    Lewis HAMILTON: that it, or are we going again? No, we can go again.

30. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri12:30:32

    Engineer: Don't slow down. Keep pushing, Yuki. Keep pushing.

    Yuki TSUNODA: I am!

31. Callum ILOTTAlfa Romeo12:33:57

    Callum ILOTT: Well, thanks guys, that was enjoyable.

32. Esteban OCONAlpine12:35:34

    Engineer: All right, we'll push you back into the garage for a short and get some comments from you, but on the whole, a busy session, but I think very good. Finished P10 in the end.
