Japanese Grand Prix2023 · Practice 2 team radio

EngineerThat's tailwind into turn 1, headwind in 3, 4, 5 Copy

EngineerWeaving where you can, weaving where you can, and then breaking.

EngineerAnd a little bit of weaving if you need to wake them up and good brake temp We need good brake temp into 16. You're gonna have three cars ahead to go. No pushing cars behind

EngineerQuick radio check please.

Pierre GASLYKonnichiwa.

EngineerKonnichiwa.

EngineerSo much traffic there. Poppy, I'll come with you. Watch out, I'll come with you too.

George RUSSELLThe diff was wrong turn 1

EngineerCopy that, I'll feed that back

ZHOU GuanyuMaybe I don't need a special one for 21

Lewis HAMILTONFloor okay?

EngineerWe'll just have a look

Esteban OCONWould we get away with the rearwoods, half more rearwoods with the yellow, or

Engineerno, into turn 11? We'll have a look, Hülkenberg 3 seconds, only traffic car at the moment.

EngineerWe're

Lewis HAMILTONdoing only one call, right?

EngineerOn this tyre, yeah, we'll just do singles.

EngineerWe'll be launching from the box. It could be busy in the pit lane, so watch the lights, please

Engineerand then after a little bit go to purple C3 position 3, 6th gear, first car time lap Ocon turn 9

Charles LECLERCDid a mistake in 11, I think

EngineerYeah, we've seen that

EngineerGap ahead eight. Take it easy. Take it easy. Gap ahead nine.

EngineerCan

George RUSSELLyou feed back to Tom to

Engineerput the cap on

George RUSSELLthe top

Engineerof

George RUSSELLthe umbilical connector?

Sergio PEREZYeah, you say last corner. I'm from talking about the end

Alexander ALBONThat's for sure 4 damage, just skateboarding on the top in turn 9

Pierre GASLYYou gotta do something for turn one and two. Watch out.

EngineerYeah, copy.

EngineerLet Lawson by then there'll be no queuing

Esteban OCONCopy I think we need to add a bit of flap and we need to do the modifier

EngineerThere's a bit of traffic there because it's three cars who all on a lap

EngineerAnd just watch out for Joe, just in case, in turn two.

EngineerSo time is already hotter time is already hotter than we want

EngineerI think we are not going to learn much until the second push. Yeah, I'll leave it to you if you want to box, just let me know. Yeah, I'll box. Okay, understood.

EngineerSo at the moment you're all clear from traffic behind, stroll a bit. It's just no

Pierre GASLYpoint to keep this driving for now, I want to change, I don't know how long it takes, but clearly not the solution.

Yuki TSUNODAI have a weird feeling at braking at the last corner, engine braking is pushing like

Logan SARGEANTWell, I start the run with no front, and now I have the most rear deck we've had all year.

EngineerCopy that, no, everything's good as we are with switches now, so we've got Fernando pushing 12 seconds behind, all cars on high fuel now.

ZHOU GuanyuMy pedal is like all the way down to the...

George RUSSELLPoor lap isn't back on, it doesn't seem to be that fast at the moment.

EngineerThis is his first lap of the high fuel on the medium tyre

EngineerDon't hit this too hard Max, the bulks will come up very quickly around here.

EngineerAnd we would like a bit more management in turn 3 and turn 5.

Engineerand easy traction out of 14

EngineerOkay, Kev, four mid-corner understeer. The suggestion is to try lift 32.

Engineeryeah understood and we see him very high deck on others on the soft too

EngineerI suggest turn two for any lateral saving.

EngineerJoe, we have to abort Box's lap, watch traffic behind, Alonso then Magnussen, still

ZHOU Guanyuhave an issue. I feel it's the same problem. Slow in and watch Magnussen now.

Carlos SAINZWhy is my socks so long?

EngineerManually, do not pass Alex.

EngineerOscar, gap behind to Hülkenberg is three seconds but there's a ten second gap behind him to Sunoda. Suggest back off to learn what we can about the tyre in clearer air.

Pierre GASLYLocked up, sorry for that.
