Italian Grand Prix2023 · Race team radio

EngineerAnd we still don't have the push toggle on now.

Liam LAWSONOkay, copy. I was going to just use it after I started, but copy, I do it now. Thank you.

Fernando ALONSOhow much it was so

Engineerit was good basically plus two plus two and then you pulled it back a bit because of the wheel spin but the initial drop was good

EngineerOkay Kev, you'll be brought back into the garage with the engine running for that front wing adjustment.

EngineerDon't break traction and launch it into the pit. Launch feedback. You are target plus one. Target plus one.

George RUSSELLSeem to be a bit more bouncing then, than

Engineeryesterday, nothing substantial. Fuel 0.1 safe, we'll just have a look at the data on that bouncing.

EngineerAnd we still need to sync first gear first gear

EngineerOkay, you can push on brakes now. That was for engine temp lance, no issues, so go to the grid. One more lap, we'll go to the grid.

EngineerYou can try funk 3 for understeer turn 11 just to get a feel.

ZHOU GuanyuThere's a problem on the anti-stall guys. I'm not releasing my throttle. Copy, Joey. Checking now. I paid extra attention. Still the same problem.

Engineerwith the car to the grid now full switch off procedure full switch off

ZHOU Guanyuyeah let's have a look what we can do the issue we had was okay the last one but something without noticed joe

Engineerwe will discuss with you on the grid

EngineerSo this last lap you are losing a turn six and seven we believe here that you were managing quite a lot maybe too much But we can check the data

Charles LECLERCYeah, I was but how much do I lose now two

Engineerand a half ten total okay between both and

Charles LECLERCthe rest good

Engineerfour and five and slightly slower eight nine, but At this last lap was you were slower than the previous lap and P zero, please

EngineerRadio check, Max.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, radio check.

EngineerLoud and clear. So, formation lap procedures, mode 12, the dummy launch and formation lap. Pit limiter off. And a static 5.5 that wants the car is on the ground. Carry out your launch to third gear. And then during the formation lap, looking for around plus 15 on your rear left, plus 15 on your rear left. A target you feel should be possible to achieve. Lift and coast into turn 11. And no more than 50% throttle from there. From sergeant's grip position, which is grip slot 15. The ambulatory pit wall is P14. One long and one short. One long, one short burnout. And an extra ramp rather than coasting down into your start position.

EngineerOkay mate, so everyone on medium tyres apart from Hamilton who's on this side up in P8, Bottas who's a couple of cars ahead and Magnussen there on the hard tyre.

EngineerAnd on tires, everyone on medium except Hamilton, Magnussen and Bottas on hards. Bottas the guy, yeah, right there, in front of Zouya. Yeah, you got Magnussen behind you and then Bottas ahead on the right. Let's swallow him.

EngineerSo clutch position was on target. So it looks like Albon he's on a used medium. We have a new to fit.

EngineerCopy that. Correct. Sure.

Yuki TSUNODAAh, failure. AG failure. Copy.

EngineerKev, if it's an aborted start, you need to have the pit limiter on.

Charles LECLERCCar is not turning really well in the right-hand corners, it's all good.

EngineerOn data everything is fine.

Charles LECLERCCopy, good.

EngineerOkay, there are currently double yellows from turn 8 to turn 11. Sonoda is stopped on the right-hand side at the entry to turn 11. They may have cleared the car by the time we get there.

EngineerThigh temps are good.

Sergio PEREZI had some engine push when I did the start, as I came off the throttle, the engine pushed a bit.

EngineerCopy, having a look.

EngineerSo Fernando, we're going to be stopping on the grid, so don't do any burnouts. Keep to the left now, there's fluid on the track. So no burnouts, you'll be stopping on the grid, the mechanics will come back out to you, and there'll be a five minute restart process.

Sergio PEREZWhat a mess, why didn't they just remove the car?

EngineerBelieve it, it's stuck in gear, so having a few issues

EngineerI believe they are.

EngineerSo we'll do another formation lap and then the race will be two laps shorter.

Charles LECLERCYeah I copy, the mechanics cannot come to the grid.

EngineerI believe they are on their way.

EngineerThe Synodix car is on the flatbed, but with an aborted start we should be allowed back on the grid and the restart five minutes But currently can't get access to the grid

EngineerSo tells it's the same for everyone here. We cannot go into the into the track. Okay, nice

Charles LECLERCI was starting to wonder whether you were coming from Rome by walk Here they are

EngineerSunoda's car is on its way back to the pit lane now. We do not yet have the 5 minute warning.

Sergio PEREZWe gonna keep the same tyres?

EngineerYes, we are happy for now.

Pierre GASLYYeah, let me know in terms of PU temps on the first formation lap, if there's anything you want me to do different, because ideally I'd still want to push for rear tires.

EngineerYeah, copy that, mate. We'll let you know. Given this delay, we'll probably be fine.

EngineerOk Logan, so on your side just chill, get a bit of a drink, try to relax as much as possible in a hot F1 car in this weather. Sit tight and I'll keep you updated.

Logan SARGEANTYou're a cop.

EngineerJoe, Chris here, we will Sorry Joe, we will need to relearn the gears So do a practice start as normal and then in turn one make sure you go down to first gear again to learn it

ZHOU GuanyuYeah, copy that During the practice session was really hard to learn first gear, but I'll try again I'm sure we'll be okay

EngineerYes, Joe in the formation lap. We expect everyone to be very slow in turn one and two

EngineerAnd Oscar, the race distance will have been shortened by two laps, because you've got another formation up now.

Lewis HAMILTONthe tide's cold or at least they'll tend

Engineerthey haven't dropped too much actually i think that direct sunlight helps as well

EngineerFive minutes ago One of the talk and once the engine of fire that means we live in our own We will do a bike and then do the first gears Yeah, radio radio is still quite poor. Did you say scenario one talk six? Okay on the way anything better I can do on the commercial app or all good So suggest more weaving you can do more weaving at the temperature

EngineerAnd everybody on the same tires as before.

Liam LAWSONSo my left mirror has come loose it's disconnected from the frame

Nico HULKENBERGSo, I've lost gear sync, need to do that again?

EngineerYep, that's correct, and loud and clear. So one and a half minutes, we'll get into it, so sync the gears on the out lap, formation lap.

EngineerOkay Max the procedure will be the same however I would like you to target between 12 and 15 no more than 15 on the rear left you were up to 20

EngineerOkay mate, clutch drop spot on, good job.

EngineerOK mate, let's do what we can to work those tyres on the way round please

EngineerSo maximum temperature when you can and the tires and then good lifts then a good break

EngineerSo lean on the tyres now Lance, good work on the tyres, weave in high speed then lift into turn 4, make some space.

EngineerMax 0.9 behind 0.9

EngineerCar ahead, Sergeant. Car behind Joe.

EngineerSpeed 1 second, 1.0

EngineerSuggest entry plus one.

ZHOU GuanyuEntry.

EngineerAffirm. DRS enabled. Special two available for turn six and seven.

Max VERSTAPPENHe's already starting a bit, so I'll look at him.

EngineerI'll just be sensible for the moment.

EngineerJust checked front and left brake temps, I think a tear off may have got him. We're looking. Brakes look OK currently.

EngineerSo gap to Esteban is 0.4 and everyone in a DRS train up to Albon in P6

Engineerand easy braking energies into turn one gap to Russell behind 1.7

EngineerOK, Kevin, I know it's a struggle, but please watch your slip. Exit turn six.

Kevin MAGNUSSENCopy.

Carlos SAINZGood move

EngineerIt's a rear tyre temp still raising. I think another click forwards brake balance, if you can. Another click forwards brake balance.

EngineerJust for info, the fuel numbers on the dash are not correct, so don't worry, we'll keep you updated.

EngineerI suggest EB10 or 11 to help where it attempts.

EngineerAnd tire temperatures are stable. We're happy with what you're doing.

EngineerAnd George suggest more management six turn six

Lando NORRISYeah, I'm just I think I'm quicker at the minute Stuck in the 30F

EngineerOkay

EngineerLight overtake available, gap to Hamilton 0.6

EngineerHe's struggling with the rear max a lot

EngineerAnd this mid plus one to help the balance, this mid plus one, point six behind.

EngineerKev, we're thinking a big change on front wing flap, back to start of laps to grid. Do you agree?

Kevin MAGNUSSENYeah, I agree.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerOk Lando, our goal here is to reach target lap, potentially plan B target lap, so thinking on extending. Behind Hamilton, Alonso is 4 seconds behind and we are opening a gap with him, and he's holding a train of cards.

Lando NORRISYeah I know, but I can't save that much because Hamilton's catching a lot, he's a little quicker at this point, so I'm trying to pick up the pace.

Carlos SAINZHow is the situation behind Max?

EngineerIt's a gap of 2.5 to Russell, P4, and Russell up and 27.2, he's lowering Checo down.

Nico HULKENBERGBalance is tricky. 6-7. Very understeery, but the rest is really, really limited. They're not great.

EngineerUnderstood, Nico.

EngineerCopy that, Judge.

EngineerOK, both windows of the safety car are open. Talk to me about flap, do you want to come down?

Alexander ALBONYeah, what?

EngineerOK, mate, we think this is a thermal tyre effect. Can we increase lift and coast, please, and management out of Turn 5? Let's keep with it for now. Plan A.

George RUSSELLJust massive entry oversteer into the high speed.

EngineerOkay, let's keep pushing, keep pushing.

Lando NORRISI'm just a lot quicker, I was getting sick of the pace.

EngineerOk Lando, we are looking at that.

Pierre GASLYI wish I was out to have a face of this video

EngineerOur sector 2 is good, we lost a tenth and a half in sector 1 and the rest in sector 3, so it's straight line speed again obviously.

EngineerAnd just keep your eye on that front left oxidation. Norris at 27.8.

EngineerLet's make use of the free air now. We want to pull away from Alonso doing 26.9. You're in the window for safety car and virtual safety car.

EngineerOK, so last lap they were 27.2s, cars ahead, still all clear on our pit window behind.

Fernando ALONSOYeah, mid-window, I'm not too worried, nothing new. Over, take easy.

EngineerCopy mate, understood, understood.

EngineerAnd tire temperatures are stable. We are happy with management.

George RUSSELLRachel, ready to

Engineeropen up? Yeah, understood.

EngineerBraking metrics are good. Gap to the clerk, 1.8. To Russell, 1.5.

EngineerLet me know for flap

Carlos SAINZCopy,

Engineerpit confirm and box

EngineerAnd boat has lap time 27.7, still out on hard.

EngineerSo science pitted, the clerk stayed out.

EngineerSo mode box mode box and box this lap box

EngineerBox to overtake Ocon. Box to overtake Ocon.

EngineerFernando is coming in, Max.

George RUSSELLCheck with the right way out.

Valtteri BOTTASYeah, you can calculate about one second loss, time lost per car.

EngineerCopy, understood. Good job, we've built a four and a half second gap to Ocon behind now.

EngineerOK mate, so for now we think we're racing a group of cars on a two stop, which are about 10 seconds behind. Let's keep going for now please, Albon 1.9 behind. Copy, steering getting heavy on high braking. OK mate, noted. Jump 4, down 8. OK understood, yeah we're looking into that now.

EngineerOkay mate, on our grip stats we see rear tyres stable, possibly improvement to be expected in the next few laps, our one just behind now.

Kevin MAGNUSSENI think I don't need to push it 10 seconds to create an understeer. It balances the car out.

EngineerI understand Kev, I'll get back to you.

Kevin MAGNUSSENAnyway, I think we're looking at plan C now.

EngineerWe're looking at plan B, which I think is what you're talking about. Plan C was the first lap shuffle.

Kevin MAGNUSSENCopy.

EngineerSo McLaren's ahead have just hit each other Piastri's the car in front of you four seconds on his out lap

EngineerGood job, still in the pit window. Traction 5, last 10%, still an issue.

EngineerI

ZHOU Guanyuthink this will be better than trying my best at home.

EngineerCopy, Joe.

Esteban OCON2-1-1

EngineerAlright, so going on to the hard tyre, going one turn down on the front wing keep us informed about column torque on the exit please

Esteban OCONIt's not the torque, it's locking Keep a tooth of the gearing is broken, you know what I mean? Ok, understood, yeah

EngineerWe're looking at it, we do see something in data Let us know if it gets worse please, Magnuson will come out just in front on pit exit

EngineerOther car 26.9 but we need to do the lift and coast. He's doing lift and coast and is faster. It's quicker that way. Helps the tyres.

EngineerSo Sainz in front is catching Hamilton still Hamilton with still with the first set

EngineerThe pace of the main group of cars ahead of you is around 27.2 now.

EngineerOkay, good job on the lifted coast. We like torque 11, but I'll leave you alone.

EngineerLKH, Albon is struggling a lot with the rear end, he is winning 27-0

EngineerSo Hamilton is 0.9 behind on a five lap newer medium, 0.9 behind.

Engineer6 tenths faster than the Gasly, so just stay in this rhythm behind Bottas, you're closing up soon

EngineerZoo, 1.5, keep the head down, you're doing a good job, keep the head down, clean laps, clean laps

Liam LAWSONYeah, but it's getting quite tricky on tracks with no speed, at least on the front left of the section

EngineerCopy on tyres, copy on tyres, confirm turn 5 is difficult

EngineerSo Fernando, our race will be at the end. Albon is ahead of the McLarens and he's a bit slow holding them up at the moment.

EngineerOkay, Max, we're expecting the race start to be aborted, so expecting you to switch your engine off and be a five-minute delay.

EngineerAnd watch the rear's exit of turn 5 should help entry of turn 6.

Alexander ALBONWe can't do this for 20 minutes!

EngineerSo we think Hülkenberg ahead is starting to struggle with the fronts and Bottas is the car behind 1.7 second gap and he is on used mediums

Sergio PEREZShe's not giving any space.

EngineerYou're faster, you're going to go.

EngineerSo rear left limitation on the last set so anything you can do to work the front axle

EngineerThey are moving the car, then we will go for standing stop.

Carlos SAINZWe will do another formation loop, no? Yeah, correct.

Carlos SAINZWe'll try to get to the end. Ok, try your best.

Carlos SAINZIs Ceco defending?

EngineerNo, not defending. 26-0 his lap time. Take your rhythm in free air.

Nico HULKENBERGYeah, we're gonna do it. We're just falling like Apple very soon. I feel that

EngineerUnderstood Niko, if we go back under a medium, how was the balance on medium?

Nico HULKENBERGBalance is not great. I Don't know what to do. Just do what you think

EngineerOk Lando, we think Albon is struggling quite a lot here, as you see. Yeah, I see the same as you see.

EngineerOK, with the onset of the blue flags, Max, you are in the mix of circulation. Lap average wind is trending towards more of a tailwind, so just careful in entries.

EngineerOk Lando, we think Albon is struggling quite a lot here, as you see. Yeah, I see the same as you see, so I

Lando NORRIScan't get past it.

Lewis HAMILTONYou can always screw, but I don't

Engineerknow

Lewis HAMILTONhow this time will last.

EngineerOthers have made it as far on the medium tyre.

George RUSSELLMark, I've got an arrow, loss of rear. Consistent. Similar to the 39.

Lando NORRISHe forced me off. I was completely alongside. We

Engineersaw that.

Lando NORRISI was completely alongside. He saw me.

EngineerAnd I'll keep you informed of the gap behind remember these are medium tires they will start to go off for the guys behind

EngineerSo it's a 1.7 head to that group they are tripping over each other they're racing hard

EngineerLando, box to overtake, box to overtake.

Lando NORRISYeah, I'm pushing confirm.

EngineerYou're doing great, great doing that, keep doing that, no mistake He's gonna run out of time at some point, keep doing that, you're doing great mate

Esteban OCONString locking massively

EngineerOk mate, understood Copy that, keep us updated please

Esteban OCONOK mate,

Engineersorry about that. When you come to a stop, we'll go to P1 please. OK, stop on the marks and go to P1, very sorry.

EngineerMax, if you'd like something that opens the diff on the pull toggle, it's display 14.1. I'm okay, I'm okay. Understood, thank you, stood down.

Oscar PIASTRIHe just turned across me in the braking.

EngineerYep, we saw that, we saw that.

EngineerSo how about to the gesture head contact?

EngineerSo there is a bit of debris exit of turn 10. It's on the left not on the racing line and you haven't really passed it It's a bit of debris on the left exit 10-10

Sergio PEREZHe's moving really late on braking

EngineerYou did the same to Max. See him off. We've reported.

Logan SARGEANTI have damage

EngineerHe's at front wing

Logan SARGEANTI can't tell

EngineerOk, ties are ok, we're taking the mist

EngineerNine laps to go, stellar job mate, stellar.

Alexander ALBONI think the fronts are getting too hot for the brakes.

Sergio PEREZHe's not leaving any room, man. Come on. We cannot wait like this.

Lewis HAMILTONNot giving them enough space.

EngineerHelping him have a look.

Lewis HAMILTONNo, I said I didn't give them enough space.

EngineerYeah, no stress Lewis. Let's just get on with it because I reckon you've got the pace to have these guys and pull away.

EngineerAnd Alonso behind is on hard tires, one lap older than yours.

Lando NORRISOkay, it's fine, I'm just gonna race to the end.

EngineerMax could you increase the gap to Gasly please increase gap to Gasly it's quite an urgent request

Max VERSTAPPENAh, there's an outing!

EngineerSo that's four laps to go. Joe, two seconds behind, he's quicker than us. We're concerned about his vibrations.

EngineerThree to go, three to go, Joe has DRS behind, Gasly close behind him.

EngineerCopy, copy, he should give you the position, he overtook off track, copy that, keep on pushing, keep pushing

EngineerAnd no risk, no risk, race until the end, no risk.

EngineerThis is the last, starting the last lap, starting last lap.

EngineerAll right. I

Max VERSTAPPENdon't know what I'm talking about.

EngineerI'd say that's a pretty wicked job. You fought for that one, kept it clean, awesome.

Sergio PEREZYeah, good job guys, as a result.

EngineerYeah,

Sergio PEREZgood job, well done guys.

EngineerOk, shame, it was very close to the point, we'll review everything we've done. Anyway, it was a clean weekend from your side, the pace was there, so we'll keep it up, good job.

Liam LAWSONCopy, thank you.

EngineerOkay, nice job.

Alexander ALBONYes!

EngineerThat was a tough one, P7. That was outstanding, well done. That was probably the best one yet, I think. Yeah, that was amazing. Wow. Well done, Alex. Well done, Alex. You made this look easy. I thought I was stressed in Montreal, but you seem to have added to it. Really well done. Yeah, thank you. I think we can add Norris to the list of people that hate the sight of our rear winger. Yeah.

Sergio PEREZHe pushed me off

EngineerWell done mate, fighting to the end, well done. P-9

Fernando ALONSOYeah, copy.

EngineerAnd P4?

Charles LECLERCYeah, copy.

Lewis HAMILTONGreat job guys, thanks for this weekend, sorry it's not as good as we had hoped, but still got some solid points, so let's keep pushing.

EngineerLouis, great execution, that was really the really good drive to bring it home with the points.

EngineerOkay, that's checkered flag checkered flag take the flag, please pick up rubber and green one position 14, please green one position 14 That's p13 Artified this guy on fresh rubber at the end I can review the usage of over techs, but I'm sure you gave everything you could mate Just so you know I like p7

Logan SARGEANTCongrats good job guys

EngineerYou held your own for a long long period of time. You're still still that point has your name on it. It's not far away We'll get more opportunity this year

EngineerAh, P5. Shame we didn't really have the pace to those ahead of us, but good weekend overall.

George RUSSELLYeah, got to be that. We did everything we could. Thanks for your efforts.

EngineerOn

George RUSSELLto the next one.

Pierre GASLYpainful one very painful but it's okay we'll understand and just really want us to understand why we're so slow and uh and we'll fight back but uh we gotta understand most important i have to try with the strategy so no regret now

Engineerwe

Pierre GASLYmove on from this weekend and uh we come back in singapore and go fight for the points yeah

Engineerwe had to try something it was a tough one out there but well driven and we'll look forward from here

EngineerCheckered flag, Niko, checkered flag. Good managing from your side, we just didn't have the life.

EngineerOkay Kev, another tough one. Anyway, you brought it home, that's about all we can say about it unfortunately. Front row seat for the fun and games ahead anyway.

Charles LECLERCCarlos is sending it between the rears.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerHe was in my blind spot, so I don't know where he was. Copy Lewis, we have a 5 second penalty.

Lewis HAMILTONNot giving him enough space.

EngineerCopy, we'll have a look.

Lewis HAMILTONNo, I said I didn't give him enough space.

EngineerNo stress Lewis, let's just get on with it, because I reckon you've got the pace to have these guys and pull away.

Lewis HAMILTONWell a long ways to go at this time

EngineerDoing a great job at the minute, managing the nice leak. McLaren's starting to struggle.

Carlos SAINZYeah,

EngineerI

Carlos SAINZdon't know what he's trying to...

Carlos SAINZGuys, let's break this hole.

EngineerOkay Max, you've done it. And a little bit of history to go with it.

Max VERSTAPPENNot too bad, not too bad. Well done guys. Another win. Unbelievable. And a nice one too as well.

EngineerMax, that is mighty. Ten races in a row, you're on your own mate now. That's history. Unbelievable, unbelievable. Well done.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, that's a nice stat.

EngineerYeah, you can be proud of that one. A stroll in the parks I might say Max. Mate, that's remarkable. Be proud.

EngineerVery good weekend. You nailed it. Good job. Yeah, that was tough. Tires, tires, tires, tires.

Carlos SAINZGood

Engineerjob guys.

EngineerWell, the Bulls beat the Prancing Horse, so well done to both of you, both done a mega job today.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, really good team from Celtics.

EngineerAnd join the podium.

Carlos SAINZThank you.

EngineerAnd we are in P3 in the championship for Constructors.

Carlos SAINZGood, good, good.

EngineerPace was good Oscar, we deserved more than that to be honest. Hamilton got a penalty but he managed to get through Albon and Lando and pull more than the five seconds of the penalty.

Lando NORRISYeah, good race.

EngineerI

Lando NORRISthink the pace was actually okay, just too much traffic, too much following. But a big smooth forward compared to Spa, so I think we did a good job this weekend, more than everyone.

EngineerExactly, good job this weekend. Very good race today on your side as well, and I think you distracted the most of the car today. I think Albon was just a little bit too fast on the straights for us.

EngineerAnd that's P10. Great drive today, mate. Cheers, guys. Good to get a point, even though it's only one. It's much better than nothing. Well done, everyone. Good recovery from Friday. Yeah, it's been a tough two weeks, but it's really good to end it on a high now before we go away to the overseas. Good drive, Walter. It's Alessandro. Bravo. Good point. Grazie.

EngineerYeah, tough race, Joe, but well done from your side, P14.

ZHOU GuanyuYeah, we followed the car, it was tricky, with the time management afterwards.

EngineerWhat the f**k? You've pushed me off the track, yeah? Okay, everything looks good on our car. Sergeant has damage.

Valtteri BOTTASWell, for sure.
