Austrian Grand Prix2023 · Sprint team radio

EngineerOkay, some rain reported after turn eight.

EngineerStay negative on the delta. When you get to the back of the grid, please do a static bite point learn.

EngineerI expect it to be relatively dry, turn 3, turn 4. The worst of the rain has been at turn 9, turn 10.

Pierre GASLYThe steering is slightly bent left and side down

ZHOU GuanyuRe-equation to love sector.

Carlos SAINZYeah, it's okay, four sticks. Okay, good.

Charles LECLERCIt's more for slicks, but the last two corners is definitely for inters.

EngineerOkay, so basically exit turn one up the hill back down to around turn six is dry

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, like fully dry in here. Yeah now it's coming down a bit Understood,

Engineerthank you

EngineerThis is the heaviest intensity and it will stop in five minutes. So this is the peak and no more rain afterwards

Engineerand just to confirm it is a gear 2 start, gear 2.

Lance STROLLYeah, it's slippery.

EngineerOK mate, same again on the clutch drop please, same again on the clutch drop, that was good.

EngineerJust watch those exits Max at the low speed

EngineerHey Lance, we think decreasing rain from now. Keep looking after your front tyres.

Carlos SAINZHow are the tires? Are they up

Engineerto

Carlos SAINZtemperature? Or not yet?

Sergio PEREZWhat's wrong with Max man?

EngineerStay coming up, stay coming up.

Max VERSTAPPENYou push me up, I'm on the f***er.

George RUSSELLIs there any more rain coming?

EngineerJust a continuation of this very light rain at the moment.

EngineerNeeds of management left front in nine. That's important

EngineerWhen you can you can go RB1 and the tires are coming now

EngineerYou can consider talk 10 if you want to protect front. Talk 10.

EngineerAnd if you need to manage front right, that's turn 6. Manage front right, turn 6. Consider the wide line, turn 4. Lando and Verstappen using wide line, but turn 4.

EngineerYou

Lewis HAMILTONbetter shift.

EngineerPeace. Copy.

EngineerFeedback on conditions, Lance?

Lance STROLLYeah, still very into it. Copy. Feeling better now?

EngineerCan confirm the front left is the limitation at this stage, rear left looks good.

EngineerGood job, Nico. Everyone's struggling front left. If you could just help a little in 910, that will help the front left.

Alexander ALBONIt's all rears, so managing fonts does nothing.

Lando NORRISJust consistent at the minute, I just don't have enough pace.

Nico HULKENBERGDB updated on Wustappen's line, switch to E6-7-7.

EngineerDo you think the track will dry?

Fernando ALONSOPotentially, yes.

EngineerOkay, Valtteri, if overheating is a limitation for you, you can cool on the straights. We see others doing this now.

EngineerAnd we need to take care of the front left tyre at turn nine.

EngineerThere's 13 laps to go. 13 laps. Hulkenberg P2 is struggling

Fernando ALONSOa bit.

EngineerMax, thoughts on conditions?

Max VERSTAPPENUh, cylinders.

EngineerAnd if you can keep us posted on track conditions and when you think it's ready for slicks, let's use a driver marker.

Sergio PEREZGood, let's make it ring up.

EngineerOkay, that is 12 laps complete, max 12 remaining. Car behind Checo, 9.7.

EngineerNico, we need mode F1, mode F1. How is condition in sector three? Sector one is close to dry times.

Lance STROLLTell Fernando, don't lose too much time in fighting.

Valtteri BOTTASThere are some gross spots on the second team.

Sergio PEREZHe's getting very close. I'm at the point where I don't know where he is.

EngineerSo no more significant rain expected from now on

George RUSSELLIt's dry and

Engineerquick,

George RUSSELLI don't think it's far off sticks.

Lewis HAMILTONWhat position am I in?

EngineerCurrently P11, George 1st car.

EngineerPeople putting six Copy

Lance STROLLcopy

Lewis HAMILTONMust have been my front wing.

EngineerThere's eight cars still on intermediate, so I can't give you more information at the moment

Kevin MAGNUSSENOkay, so how much quicker do I need to go? Just give me a picture.

Logan SARGEANTHow far am I from TOS?

EngineerYou're 4 tenths away from Tsunoda, he's struggling, you will get it soon

EngineerI'm stuck behind that. You can overtake Verstappen, you can overtake Verstappen

EngineerWell done mate, that was very well executed, well done.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, good race, just the exit of 2-1, that was not really nice, that could have been a really big shot, so maybe we need to have a chat about that, for me that was not okay.

Esteban OCONGood job! Yeah! That was a fun race!

EngineerMP3, confirm, good job, in tricky conditions, not easy there Pretty good, it was quite tricky, I think we

Carlos SAINZknow why, but yeah, good job Yeah,

Engineerand 6 points in the bag

EngineerWell done, Checo. Well done. Good recovery there. Yep. Good job, guys.

Logan SARGEANTAh, damn it, man. Sorry about that.

EngineerWe learn we learn a lot of learning today pace was good on the slicks in tricky condition

EngineerOK, P4 Lance, P4 well done.

Lance STROLLYeah, good race man, good points. Tyres were screaming at the end.

Alexander ALBONDid we reset flap when I boxed

Engineeror

Alexander ALBONwe kept the flap in?

EngineerSo we made three points on Ferrari and we made eight points on Mercedes, sir. Good job.

Engineerwe kept the flap yeah

Alexander ALBONyeah i don't know

EngineerOh, just missed out there. P8. Good job though. Picked up a point still. Bit of race in that, well done.

George RUSSELLYeah, good recovery. Good decision.

EngineerCheckered flag, checkered flag, P-16.

EngineerOK Kev, we were P14 at the end of that.

EngineerYeah,

Yuki TSUNODAyeah

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, yeah

EngineerThree points and we loved it here

Nico HULKENBERGThree three points and

Engineerwe loved what you did nice work and you got the purple lap

Nyck DE VRIESI felt like in the drying conditions, we were quick, but honestly, the straight line speed, zero chance.

EngineerAlyssa, yeah. So that's a P10. Ah, but that was my time. My pace was so off when I came on 6. Lewis, it was good. It was just the warm-up, the one lap earlier. I thought it was one lap too early, but it was direct.

EngineerAnd just to recognize that overtake on Leclerc and Albon, that was pretty special. They've just shown the replay of that, and that was pretty special.

Oscar PIASTRIWell, thank you.

Engineerit's p9 yeah

Lando NORRISi know i just i went 20 stall in start in 10-3 so

Engineeri

Lando NORRISdon't know what happened that cost me everything

EngineerOkay Valtteri, that'll be the checkered flag, over the line, mode end, mode end.

EngineerOkay, obviously a bit of a difficult sprint for us, but we took a gamble. It didn't pay off. It was worth the risk.

Valtteri BOTTASYeah, I think that was

Engineera

Valtteri BOTTASgood try.

EngineerJoe, it was a difficult race, P90 at the end, Valtteri behind.

ZHOU GuanyuYeah, we need to have a look into it because it's a little bit like ice driving the first 10 laps of the race for me.
