Spanish Grand Prix 2021: Practice 2 team radio

Every message, in the order it happened

1. Lance STROLLAston Martin14:04:37

   Lance STROLL: A lot of traffic. Rana was just a terrible start in the laps.

   Engineer: No, Mazepin aborted ahead. It was Mazepin aborted ahead. We should have been in phase with everyone. Should have been in phase. He's aborted.

2. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas14:06:51

   Engineer: It just seems like the tyre doesn't perform as well as the C3, I just overdone it on the first push. Understood, Vettel 2 behind on a push, Vettel 1.5

3. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin14:07:47

   Sebastian VETTEL: didn't really put the lap together struggling a bit with the rear copy

   Engineer: that

4. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:07:47

   Engineer: Wind 10 kilometres, tailwind into turn 9. Gusty at times.

5. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri14:08:34

   Pierre GASLY: Yeah, that's f***ing traffic again.

6. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:09:42

   Engineer: Okay, so box box, three purple sectors.

7. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:10:06

   Engineer: So we will be a lay rubber down and then we will stop at the end of the pit lane for a start.

8. Carlos SAINZFerrari14:10:07

   Carlos SAINZ: This hamilton guy is going to give us a hard session, I think.

9. Mick SCHUMACHERHaas14:11:48

   Engineer: and there's some debris somewhere that they're coming for. Just be careful. There might be people on track there.

10. Carlos SAINZFerrari14:12:47

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, LAB was coming better, even with all the traffic.

    Engineer: Understood.

11. Nikita MAZEPINHaas14:15:00

    Engineer: Vox, Vox Copy, are you ok?

    Nikita MAZEPIN: Amazing I am man!

12. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri14:16:36

    Yuki TSUNODA: Uh, the car switch is off.

13. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin14:18:41

    Engineer: So don't let Bottas push you on.

14. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo14:19:05

    Engineer: Ok, there is a lot of grip on pit exit.

15. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:21:42

    Engineer: So Lewis 18-2, the strike difference is 1 tenth difference.

16. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:22:16

    Engineer: So currently P1, Valtry P2 just over a tenth behind. Losses to Valtry, a little bit exit turn 5 and minimum speed turn 13.

17. Lando NORRISMcLaren14:24:33

    Lando NORRIS: Quite a few vibrations with this set.

    Engineer: OK, understood.

18. Fernando ALONSOAlpine14:28:36

    Fernando ALONSO: I can give Esteban a tow.

19. George RUSSELLWilliams14:29:02

    George RUSSELL: The rear dropouts did not seem to be there this run, and now I just had a big understeer because we took the two turns to flap out.

20. George RUSSELLWilliams14:31:44

    Audio only, no transcript available for this message.

21. George RUSSELLWilliams14:32:00

    George RUSSELL: Smart place to back off. Yeah,

    Engineer: copy that. Yes, let's box. We'll go in lap and box.

    George RUSSELL: Do the V-limbs or not? V-limbs, stay out for V-limbs or not?

    Engineer: Negative, let's box, let's box.

22. Yuki TSUNODAAlphaTauri14:34:57

    Engineer: How was the balance in this run? It was quite good.

    Yuki TSUNODA: Rotation in sector 1 was enough. I would say if I had a little bit more, that would be good in sector 1. Sector 3, there was degradation, so...

    Engineer: Box, box.

    Yuki TSUNODA: In the first lap, I didn't feel much degradation in sector 3, so that was... I don't know if this is positive or not.

    Engineer: Yes, it's good. We just need to put more rotation for the first two, for the first lap. Yeah.

23. Nikita MAZEPINHaas14:36:02

    Engineer: Ok, charge on, charge on. We could box at the end of this lap, or if you really want it we could do, we could charge up and then... BOX! The tyres are good for one lap.

24. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren14:36:55

    Engineer: So Daniel, that was a very good step you made in turn 5 on the second attempt. Turn 5 matched Lando, even though you were on a used tyre.

    Daniel RICCIARDO: OK, understood.

    Engineer: Turn 12 now also looking good. Turn 13, time loss is in the exit of 13. So it looks like turn 13 at the high fuel will work on starting the rotation earlier and gaining back a little bit more time in the exit.

25. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri14:38:56

    Pierre GASLY: How is the wind?

    Engineer: It's a bit lower now. It's a bit lower. It's just about 10 kph breaking down for tailwind

26. George RUSSELLWilliams14:40:00

    Engineer: Lots of pull in from the brakes Ok understood, so big stops will help them get back up to temperature, so big stop in 7 and 10

27. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams14:42:13

    Nicholas LATIFI: That was a very bad shift, 3rd to 4th. Felt like there was something wrong there. Like a rev over as I shifted.

    Engineer: Copy that. So make sure you gather some hard stop, we need hard stop for the front right. Make sure it doesn't drop the temp.

    Nicholas LATIFI: Yeah, let's revert this change on the shift, it's really bad.

28. Sebastian VETTELAston Martin14:42:55

    Engineer: So the last two laps were 7 tenths faster than Lance but we have got some temperature with that

29. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams14:44:26

    Engineer: And then I have Alonso within four on consecutive and then there's a large gap to Stroll

    Nicholas LATIFI: Still doing it. I think if it's not the shift setting, there must be something else wrong. Third to fourth shift there It's almost like the clutch is slipping or something. Low 9 P4 please Low 9 P4

    Engineer: Copy

30. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:46:01

    Engineer: OK, the early signs Max are that you'll be looking after the front left in terms of temperature.

31. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri14:48:50

    Pierre GASLY: We need to work on 10-12 because it's really bad there.

32. Carlos SAINZFerrari14:50:02

    Engineer: Your

    Carlos SAINZ: first lap is starting to go away a bit.

    Engineer: Copy.

33. Fernando ALONSOAlpine14:50:44

    Engineer: OK, and how are the tyres? How is the balance?

    Fernando ALONSO: Oversteering.

34. Nikita MAZEPINHaas14:51:32

    Nikita MAZEPIN: How is the balance? How is the balance? Much better after EV6, but before that, front left is ****ed.

35. George RUSSELLWilliams14:52:05

    George RUSSELL: No deceleration from the brakes

36. Nikita MAZEPINHaas14:52:20

    Engineer: Okay, man, so we've got Hamilton 1.2 behind. He'll soon have DRS. We can push more in 1 and 3. Let's use this tyre up.

37. Carlos SAINZFerrari14:53:14

    Engineer: And let Charles go behind you let him go and back to mode race

38. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri14:53:21

    Engineer: The wind is picking up the wind is picking up a little bit 5 kph more

39. Sergio PEREZRed Bull14:53:53

    Sergio PEREZ: What is this pace like?

    Engineer: Yeah this pace is good. The Mercedes stabilised on a 23.3 So this pace is right on the money.

40. George RUSSELLWilliams14:55:56

    Engineer: OK George, HPP on and go defend, and yeah, I think Gus may have picked up so wind speed may have increased

41. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams14:59:27

    Engineer: That was a much better lap. This is your last lap. Management is good. Just a bit more slip management on 5. Slip management on 5. Rest is good.

42. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:00:16

    Lewis HAMILTON: Want to remember this lap?

43. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:02:07

    Engineer: Okay, easy on the weigh-in please Max, easy on the weigh-in, stay off the curves, stay off the curves. Just picked up some front right end plate damage, we don't want it to fall off.

44. George RUSSELLWilliams15:02:59

    George RUSSELL: Just a little bit of feedback. Busy, please talk to me slightly earlier. A

    Engineer: little bit late out of the corners today. Copy that, no problem mate. Apologies.

45. Esteban OCONAlpine15:03:28

    Engineer: All right, very good session Wilder, we'll get some comments when you're back in the garage, but other than that a good day all in all, nice job. Yeah,

    Esteban OCON: copy that, agreed.

46. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:04:20

    Lewis HAMILTON: Sorry lads, that was a bit of a bump.
