Turkish Grand Prix2021 · Practice 1 team radio

EngineerOk Nikita, we've got 8 cars in front of you, radio check, turn 1 exit

Lando NORRISRips a lot lot better than last year.

EngineerOkay, that's good news

EngineerAnd we have a high wind confirm, tailwind tone 12 from the track data.

EngineerTires are looking good on turn 27. Let's have one more good brake, good brake, and it'll be go on.

Carlos SAINZFull of traffic.

EngineerGive me the rest of the settings, ok? So, you can go to boost 5

EngineerSo see how the balance is on this first time lap a lot of comments of high grip

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, it feels like it

EngineerOkay, first laps coming in are Hamilton and Clare, both at 27.4, 27.4 on the soft. It is already quicker than P2 last year.

EngineerOk, they deleted both slabs, track limit turn 6 Sunoda at 3 seconds behind... What, the gap is not the limit? It's the white line, it's the white line on turn 6

EngineerOk, they deleted both slabs, track limit turn 6

Kimi RAIKKONENWhat, the gap is not the limit?

EngineerIt's the white line, turn 6

Kimi RAIKKONENYou tell me every second, OK? Two seconds?

EngineerWhen

Kimi RAIKKONENyou skip only three seconds, I'm in a fast place.

EngineerOK. Copy. Yeah, it's tight here. So six seconds, Antonio, pushing.

Engineerwe suggest left hand side toggle for front locking turn 12

EngineerSo Hamilton starting a time-lapse, he's two and a half seconds behind and then three before three

Sergio PEREZBecause it's mainly the long speed, I think we're better off where we are because the high speed is a bit neutral, so we'll probably go a greater distance for the long speed.

EngineerYeah, okay. So we'll stay out, we won't do a flap adjust.

Pierre GASLYHow is the radio? Good?

EngineerA lot of background noise, but we can hear you clear, so we keep it for now.

Pierre GASLYOk, so biggest issue is turn 7, turn 9, Apex, we have

Engineera

Pierre GASLYbig loss of ground

EngineerSo

Pierre GASLYwe have tailwind in this corner, but there's no big shift of balance in this corner Copy

Engineerthat, open turn 9 pushing both box

Yuki TSUNODAI have so much understood I have so much understood

EngineerUnderstood, understood Do you want one more lap or we can box and fit a soft?

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, I can do one more lap if

Engineeryou

Yuki TSUNODAwant

EngineerEngine braking 7 And diff entry 2, diff entry 2

EngineerOkay Yuki, so now turn 3 is good, we just need to prepare a bit more turn 4. So entry turn 3 is good, prepare turn 4 better.

EngineerOkay, so time to gain turn four entry mid and then entry late entry of turn seven as well

EngineerFor turn 12 locking suggest slightly straighter braking later turn in to protect front left turn 12.

Fernando ALONSOI don't know how we are on timing.

EngineerWe're currently on plan. If you need one more, happy to do one more.

Fernando ALONSOLet's try one more.

EngineerOkay, copy.

Fernando ALONSOI'll try to go fast now and fast on the inline.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerOkay, go ahead Max.

EngineerOkay, let's get another good hit into turn 12 for brake temperature, and then remember to go mode push at turn 13 You're

Nikita MAZEPINmissing out on the back straight

EngineerCopy that, can you hear me okay now? Mode push at turn 13 Now yes Okay good, brake temp is good, all good

Engineerokay Lance that's been deleted for turn one track limits turn one track limit

EngineerOkay Niki, I'll feedback on that, we believe we were, we believe we were. So we have mode 5 and green 6 P1, first car pushing Schumacher within 12. That's mode 5, green 6 P1.

Nicholas LATIFICopy on the mode, but I had like 20-30% left so...

Esteban OCONMaybe we should box now and add air balance, quite a lot to be fair.

EngineerUnderstood, let's box now please, box now, we'll do a front wing adjust.

Max VERSTAPPENEven worse grip than before, just no front end.

EngineerOK, understood. Do you want to box for a flap adjust, Max?

Max VERSTAPPENI don't think it's that. Something with the tyres.

EngineerEyes on the dash, let's try and manage the temps a bit more close to zero all round

Engineerand lano what do you think of the balance yeah

Lando NORRISbox understood

Engineerfour how much adjust

Lando NORRISum up two up

Engineertwo understood

Charles LECLERCYeah, I'm destroying the front, so... Let's maybe go to the pit lane now.

EngineerCopy, let me know on the flap.

Charles LECLERCLet's go, plus 4.

EngineerCopy, plus 4. And next car pushing behind Gasly, 8 seconds.

EngineerOk Pierre, I'm inclined to box to focus on the priorities now, if you're happy please

Pierre GASLYCopy We

Engineerhave some work to do, we can see the limitations, we have some ideas, don't worry, we will make it better

Pierre GASLYYeah, no problem, I think it's quite clear Yeah,

Engineersuper clear, along those sticks behind, pushing, sorry Copy,

Pierre GASLYit's just so much more grip compared to last year, it feels like a different track, so different limitations

EngineerYeah, copy that Copy

Charles LECLERCCan I do a double crew?

EngineerYes, you can. Yes, you can track is clear behind

Charles LECLERCI come back to Lewis, I'm losing like 4 tenths now in the last sector.

EngineerI come back to you. So we are losing 2 tenths first sector, 2 tenths and a half last sector.

EngineerWas that flap any better?

Sergio PEREZYeah, it was better, but yeah, it just shows how understeery we are.

EngineerOkay, copy that.

EngineerOkay, cool down, cool down the front right

EngineerHey Yuki, we suggest offset minus 1 to start the lap, and then we go offset 1 before 10-12 braking.

EngineerUnderstood.

George RUSSELLShifts are very, very bad.

EngineerAnd it's all quite busy out there. Bikenden's in Turn 1 now, and Hamilton just behind him. So if we slow him behind Hamilton...

EngineerSo we're pretty happy with turn 8, happy with turn 8 and happy with the right toggle for turn 8.

EngineerOkay, so lap times, those at high fuel, mid 28, 28.4s.

EngineerAre we still looking into this in the background, Max? I

Max VERSTAPPENthink we're tied, Zachary.

EngineerCopy. And strat 2 when you can. Strat 2.

EngineerOn track limit turn 1, last 2 laps deleted lap time. Turn 1, last 2 laps deleted.

Yuki TSUNODAThis video

EngineerOkay Trico, so losses to Max are just in turn 8 when you were passing Sinoida. Think about the push toggle for sector 3, turns 12, 13, 14. Push toggle is available.

EngineerOK, give me more charge, 2 minutes left, so you need to do a quick charge lap if you want to start another lap.

EngineerTest right hand toggle turn nine. Right hand turn nine.

Engineerand you did a good job at turn 8 we need multifunction turbo 7 turbo 7 when you can and right toggle for turn 12

EngineerSo that's checkered flag, you can push on in that, we'll be staying on track for a start. So we do need to cool the engine for the start, please cool the engine now for the start.

EngineerBrake balance plus one. Suggestion?

Charles LECLERCYour suggestions are not in line with what I feel.

EngineerOkay, you said left hand side, right? Yeah, correct. Left hand side. You will be the first one on the grid.

EngineerNow Daniel, we think the new battery bar should be working on the dash, that new display should be working.

EngineerMake sure you stop as far forward as possible, left hand side, static bite point, once you stop, make sure you go to mode RS.

Nikita MAZEPINCan you confirm I was as far forward as possible?

EngineerYou had one grid slot empty in front of you I think. You can do start now.
