São Paulo Grand Prix2021 · Qualifying team radio

EngineerSo just watch the light that exit, watch the light that exit.

EngineerTarget 0-0 and good work on the brakes.

EngineerGood braking where you are, good braking you can push

EngineerTailwind turn 10, same as FP1

Engineerso feedback at turn four that was okay okay but tight it was okay for lap time but tight

Charles LECLERCyeah it was it was quite slow i had quite a bit of margin understood

EngineerYou can go, turn 12, phase 3, place to focus, turn 12, phase 3

EngineerDouble cool, double cool.

EngineerIf the tyres look good, it's just go push.

EngineerAnd feedback from Race Control, Turn 4 was on the limit this last time.

EngineerSo happy to let the rears cool more. Fronts probably don't let them cool much more.

EngineerSo I've managed to pace, let's bring the tyre temps down, I'll come through now.

EngineerOk, position is very good, so just focus on your tires and brakes, you have margin at the rear

EngineerThat was a mega lap. Good job.

Carlos SAINZYeah, look at the looks.

EngineerNice lap Maz, nice lap. Let's use the in button please, the in button Alonso launching lap three and a half seconds behind

George RUSSELLPlease check the floor. I went a bit wide turn to exit. I think it's okay

Kimi RAIKKONENYou have to be earlier with this because I'm trying to go the full speed. You tell me before. Copy.

EngineerSo 12 second gap now to Hamilton.

EngineerI guess that was finish. I'm not really good with it. Front wing? It's not bad Kimi, so if you're not sure, we just keep the flap as it is.

EngineerThere's a track way off behind. Yep, clear behind.

EngineerOK Maas, so we had an issue with the front wing flap, it's fixed now then, it's fixed now.

EngineerAnd work on recharge. We need full pedal for recharge. OK. So, turn six, there's still a bit to find. Lando using a flatter, longer brake profile. And also trailing throttle into the entry in that corner. One and a half tenths to find in turn six. And half a tenth to find exit turn ten.

Lewis HAMILTONthey're all backing up in the last corner so

Engineerokay so Russell's gonna be coming through let's just follow Ricciardo so Russell's through now

Esteban OCONWe need to tie in that ****** thing guys, the thing I told you about in FP1, the safety thing.

EngineerOk Sven, copy that, copy that. We'll sort it when you come back in, ok?

EngineerSo we had the first two cows out.

EngineerOkay, so tyres are in a decent window. It's positive on the brakes, positive on the brakes.

EngineerLet's stay positive on the brakes. We're currently P7. B-Bell 6, B-Bell 6, positive on the brakes.

Charles LECLERCI have a problem out of the left corner. I always lack torque. There's like a hole when I'm going on power. If you can check, it has already happened in the lap before. I'm pretty sure it's the kerb, but we need to try and do something because I will have to take the kerb anyway.

EngineerSo Lewis 8.3, it's 1 tenth, turn 1 and 2, 1 tenth, 8, 1 tenth, 9.

EngineerSo the forward offset seems to help them in turn 10, turn 12.

Pierre GASLYSo compared to my last lap, how much more are there? One percent. So that means I need to go to which

Engineeroffset? So you will need to go to offset minus one.

EngineerSuggest right hand side toggle for outlap right hand side toggle for outlap

EngineerCars are driving unnecessarily slowly in pit exit at the moment Max, I'm not sure what's going on, but deal with your outlap as you need to.

EngineerOK, Alonso, last corner.

Kimi RAIKKONENEverybody is dead slow here.

EngineerYeah, yeah, I think Alonso will catch you, so I'll let you know. He's still far away.

EngineerBrakes are good, Gasly 9 seconds behind, 8, 7, mode push, 6 seconds, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

EngineerSo currently uh P9.

Fernando ALONSOYeah finger cross.

EngineerYeah just a bit negative on the delta please negative on the delta.

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, I saw it out and

Engineerkeep up the pace in the corners keep up the pace in the corners

EngineerThere is lots of cars in big traffic behind you so focus on your tires

Max VERSTAPPENHow many cars are ahead?

EngineerSeven cars ahead, one has already opened its lap.

EngineerI've raised two and a half ahead, so no pressure from behind.

EngineerThe wind is similar to previous map

EngineerNorris pushing behind at three seconds three and a half do not give him a tow

EngineerHow are the tyres, Checo? I

Sergio PEREZstruggled a bit to switch on the front, initially.

EngineerAnd

Sergio PEREZthen towards the end, towards the end, I was lacking some rotation into the low speed.

EngineerSo Lando, just to get you thinking, we think the front wing addition was okay. Maybe we just can't be as greedy in 6.7. We'll talk more when we get back. We're boxed this lap.

Lando NORRISYeah, confirm. I think down half anyway.

Fernando ALONSOYou tell me where the where are they? So we have no chance so I don't need to hurry up

EngineerStill got a few cars in the pits here. Mercedes has not come out yet. So duty up

Charles LECLERCWell, that was ******, that was a good look.

EngineerSo mate, that's P10, it's nice work getting back into Q3 and I'm sure we can work from there tomorrow and on Sunday.

Fernando ALONSOYeah, let's try. Thank you guys, I know it has been a busy, busy Grand Prix with the car and everything, so good to be back in Q3.

EngineerOkay, Daniel, that's P9. Finished P9. Well done, buddy. Well done, Daniel. Another really close qualifying. I think that's a decent session.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, understood. I definitely feel from four to six. Yeah, I think that's definitely worth looking into.

EngineerOkay. All right.

Daniel RICCIARDOCheers, guys. Thank you.

EngineerWell done, Daniel. Another really close qualifying. I think that's a decent session. Well done, Daniel. Another really close qualifying. Thank you.

EngineerOK, that's P8, P8.

Lando NORRISYeah, OK. I messed up a little bit, as you saw, but good improvement from this morning, so I kind of have to be happy with that.

EngineerYep, definitely good improvement. The Ferraris are the two cars ahead, so we're going to get them tomorrow. I

Lando NORRISlike that attitude, Will.
