Spanish Grand Prix2023 · Practice 2 team radio

EngineerRadio check. Strong radio check.

EngineerAll good on traffic at tires, minus two, mode push, mode push.

EngineerI am freecast open, T-177, you ok?

Engineerinitial throttle feedback that was target plus one initial throttle good target plus one initial throttle good and first car in a push lap Alonso time five

EngineerFeedback, that was target plus one, initial throttle good, target plus one, initial throttle good, and first cast in a push lap, Alonso, time five.

Yuki TSUNODAI got a bit of a vibration to this tire.

EngineerYou are P3 on the Proto C1, 15.6. That's the same lap time as Leclerc on a soft. Sainz also on soft, first lap at 15.0.

George RUSSELLI'm happy to open my lap, but I think we're just confusing ourselves.

EngineerIt's

George RUSSELLquiet a lot of water

Carlos SAINZWhat do you think of the flap? I think we'll leave it now.

EngineerI think we'll leave it. Should be OK.

Lewis HAMILTONLast sector okay?

EngineerMainly mid-speed turn 12

EngineerSo we are losing four tenths and a half sector one two tenths sector two the two tenths sector two They are exit turn four

EngineerFor now, one compound step, yeah, 0.4

Fernando ALONSOYeah, still a little bit oversteer

EngineerJust

Lewis HAMILTONlet me know about turn 1, I feel like I've got real rotation.

EngineerOK, stand by, we'll have a look.

EngineerSo just a small amount of rear under rotation at the very end, so maybe beaming three. Halban traffic now, then Leclerc at four and a half.

EngineerOut one, tyre green, out one, tyre green, Norris three.

EngineerA

Pierre GASLYlot of understeer, brakes everywhere, I went wide in turn 9, so I think we need to have a look at the plank. Copy, we've seen it.

George RUSSELLWho the f*** was that? Er, yes, we did.

George RUSSELLTurn into three.

Fernando ALONSOAre you still happy with the strut too?

EngineerYeah, I'm happy for Nano. It's no problem for us.

George RUSSELLIf we can box and make a set-up change to improve the bounce and entry of three and nine.

EngineerWe're going to box this lap, box this lap.

Oscar PIASTRICopy, box.

Carlos SAINZI did check the floor just in case, because I feel like I lost quite a little gear in the lap.

EngineerAnd we can do a free flap adjust if you want to try that.

Nyck DE VRIESYeah, but I think on the second lap I need it so I think for the first for the first lap we slightly undershoot it

EngineerYes, man, so we can go to scenario seven please as well scenario seven

EngineerAnd we can go to SOX 6 as well, SOX 6.

Max VERSTAPPENI've run out of energy, it'll be soon. I'll take it.

EngineerSlow button on please Max, we'll box this lap, box this lap.

Esteban OCONFelt pretty good, little bit of understeer in 4, mid

Engineer-corner, little bit in 1, but rest of the lap decent.

ZHOU GuanyuI had noise on my last corner, there was quite a bit of aero downforce.

EngineerNo stopping.

Esteban OCONWhen you mean drive, screw on, no stop, huh?

EngineerNo stop, drive straight through, please.

Engineerbiggest losses turn 10 turn 12 min speed

EngineerIt's

Lewis HAMILTONtoo late on the brakes, turn 10.

EngineerNo, it's braking looks okay, it's just at mid speed.

Yuki TSUNODAWhy are we so nervous? My interaction is so bad.

EngineerOk Max, looking like 9 timed, 9 timed

Max VERSTAPPENSomeone's phone is going, is that Helmut?

EngineerYes

Nyck DE VRIESThat was a good second lap, I think.

EngineerYeah, I think considering the tyres, it was good.

Pierre GASLYQuite a lot of clouds, yeah, turn 3.

EngineerYeah, copy that. Not too much on the radar at this point, track temp is dropping a little bit with cloud cover though.

Pierre GASLYCan I have a sort of base reference?

EngineerOkay, this is good what you're doing at the moment.

EngineerTest EB-8, turn 5 only.

George RUSSELLSome very light raindrops around Turn 9

EngineerI think we can ease ourselves into that gap towards the end of the lap.

Esteban OCONIt's like two or three, but a truck

Engineerwould go quicker if I push

Carlos SAINZDid you get that all up, yeah?

EngineerYeah, we did plus 0.4

Alexander ALBONIt was a bit random, the snap, but I'll just keep driving and see if it resets.

EngineerYou've got Hamilton at seven seconds behind if you want to make a window.

EngineerAnd when we can, can we have HPP 9 position 2?

Fernando ALONSOYeah, make sure we have we are happy with this distance For the front we come from here. There is another gap on the circuit

EngineerEsteban, we're going to box now and change tyre, box, box.

Esteban OCONOK, why?

EngineerKeep building this, I'm happy. Esteban, stay out, please, stay out for the moment.

Charles LECLERCCheck the downfall, see if you

Engineercan

Charles LECLERCpull that lamp to exit, there

Engineeris a hole. Understood.

Charles LECLERCIt said 18.7, right?

Engineer19.7

Esteban OCONDeployments all over the place

EngineerCopy, we'll have a look

EngineerTraction management, yeah we don't need too much management through turn 14, the main one is that turn 10 traction management.

Fernando ALONSOGood call. Thanks

EngineerTry shape 3, shape 3.

EngineerAnywhere between plus 15 and 20 on the dash please Max, plus 15 and 20 on the rear.

Max VERSTAPPENI think I need to stop for like two minutes to achieve that.

EngineerYeah, don't worry, do what you can.

EngineerYou're the last car so there will be plenty of traffic so take your time getting there

EngineerThere's a strange dumping vibration something which is behind me with the engine at idle or like a clack clack I don't know what it is
