United States Grand Prix2023 · Qualifying team radio

EngineerFerrari is a header on you Seth, Seth just bear that in mind for the gap.

EngineerThe brakes are looking good from our side and you are a little bit lower on tyre temp so we need a bit more.

Engineerand wind intensity is really low, so difficult to let you know direction

EngineerOkay mate, so lap time is almost the same as Pierre, he's 100th quicker.

EngineerVery similar lap time between you and Esteban at this stage Currently you are P4, Esteban P5

Pierre GASLYCopy Let me know what you think, but I have quite a lot of real luck Yeah,

Engineerwe'll have a look at it Main time to gain is exit of turn one exit of turn one

EngineerLet's have a big call for the tyres, big call.

Fernando ALONSOYeah, there were five cars coming out of the pit, so they need to all respect the delta, if not it

Engineerwill

Fernando ALONSObe difficult for me to respect it.

EngineerOk, tyres are good, so we don't need any more on the tyres, just make sure you give yourself some margin on your delta a few cars ahead. So there's a bit of queuing, so make sure you're good on your delta to deal with that queuing. The gap was good for the last lap.

EngineerOk, what about the Flap Daniel? How was the balance?

Daniel RICCIARDOWe could come up a little bit on Flap. Where was I losing in 3rd sector, whereabouts?

Engineer2 tenths, turn 15 braking.

EngineerSo updated Cut-Off Max, we think your current lap time is on the bubble, so 36.4, so you know what you have to do.

Charles LECLERCFirst sector, there was a problem in turn 5 and 6, did you see that?

EngineerLet me come back to you

Charles LECLERCOh, yeah

EngineerOkay If you need, we can change the strat and it will be fine for turn 5

Charles LECLERCYeah, let's change it Copy

EngineerOkay, who's getting a bit tighter now, Fernando? We might have to go past one car at least.

Fernando ALONSOYes, but

Engineerit's France. Yeah, and not gone ahead, so...

Engineer20 seconds, 20 seconds, L1-2, L1-2 L1 passing you now, crack on, go now, go now Go now

EngineerOK, Lance, I'm afraid we're out. Both cars out.

Alexander ALBONThat was bad. I had

Engineera

Alexander ALBONmassive surge. So Stroll coming past you there now.

EngineerOK, copy. Laptime is still good, so watch for Alonso now.

EngineerOkay, we got knocked out, Nico.

Logan SARGEANTThat was terrible, man.

EngineerOscar, how was that?

EngineerStay in the car for now, we're just keeping an eye on track limits for everybody else.

Pierre GASLYIf we need to close or not

EngineerSo same wind as before really low intensity

EngineerOk, good warm up on the brakes, all clear from behind, is Hamilton on used as well?

Charles LECLERCAh, no, it's not. It's the panel that lagged, I think.

EngineerOk, no lap time deleted. Everything is fine.

Pierre GASLYI've got a massive problem, check the torque, 10-12 Yeah,

Engineercopy, OK, recharge on, I'm boxing the snappers

Pierre GASLYThat was a mess, check the torque

EngineerYeah, looking at it, still P3 with that lap mate

Pierre GASLYThere's a good 3 tenths Yeah,

Engineermiddle sector, 2 tenths to gain compared to Esteban, 3 tenths to P1 OK, let's focus how we stay, negative on your delta, I'm boxing this lap please

Pierre GASLYJust on braking, late entry, I don't know what's happening with the engine

Carlos SAINZYes, another didn't get out of the way in turn 15, he forced me out of line. Okay. You should be more careful, you should flag that.

EngineerYeah, we have flagged it.

EngineerOkay, Daniel, to Yuki, you have still a bit of room to break around five minutes later in turn one. And the other place where he is a bit faster is through the high-speed sections. He's generally able to carry more minimum speed in the corners.

Lando NORRISYeah, I got traffic. Completely put me off. Yeah, he had a plenty big enough gap ahead of him. He just got too close in the corner.

EngineerYep, understood. We're on it.

EngineerMake your gap before safety car line 2.

Max VERSTAPPENSo I'll just have more understood this time I said, okay

Engineerunderstood

EngineerOkay, so I confirm we have P13, we have Joe in P12, one tenth ahead, mostly in second. Okay.

EngineerLess than a tenth, very close. Yeah, we'll see everything, just need to do more.

ZHOU GuanyuMaybe less than a tenth, my bag's gone. Where we end up?

EngineerSo Joe, we are P12.

ZHOU GuanyuHow far to the cart now?

EngineerIt's just less than a tenth, very close. We'll see it back in the garage.

ZHOU GuanyuYeah, I mean, I give you everything I love. Was a good comeback, but just need to do more, to be honest.

EngineerTo stay in the car, in case of further laptops got deleted.

ZHOU GuanyuYeah, copy, I will save from the checklist.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, the more I pushed on the front the quicker it gave up

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, I've got traffic for a second. I'm just there.

Kevin MAGNUSSENI had a progressive moment in 2004. Copy

Engineerthat, Kev.

EngineerTurn right. Yeah.

Carlos SAINZNeed to clean up sector, don't

Engineerworry. Understood.

EngineerWe had that lap time deleted at turn 9, track limits.

Max VERSTAPPENWell done. Well done there. What the was that in the last corner?

Sergio PEREZAnd the loon speed is a little bit more all over the place.

EngineerOkay InfoMax, that lap time is deleted for limits at turn 19, would have been P1, it is P6.

EngineerOkay Oscar, that's all the time's in. Sorry about that, we have P10. We'll have a go at that tomorrow.

Oscar PIASTRIYeah, sorry about that.

EngineerYeah, no worries Oscar. We'll work on that overnight and have another go.

George RUSSELLApologies, I've been a bit off the pace today. We'll try and sort that out for tomorrow.

EngineerThat was good. Good job there. Recovered it at the end.

Lando NORRISOh man, every time. Good job, I was decent, I wasn't, but well done, good position for Sunday, so congrats mate.

EngineerOK Lewis, that's a P-3 mate

Lewis HAMILTONSorry, I can't get through this mate

EngineerThat's not bad at all mate, really nice lap

Engineerat P9. 34-7 for Leclerc was a pole, 34-8 for Norris, 34-8 for Hamilton.

Engineeryeah

Esteban OCONthat's the front and the last two so yeah

Engineerwell done

EngineerStill, it's a good result, all to play for on Sunday, so nice job.

EngineerYeah, info all confirmed. Copy. Good job guys, congrats for the port. Good job.

EngineerAlright mate, that's P7, P7.

Pierre GASLYTwo weekends in a row.

EngineerGood

Pierre GASLYjob guys, very good job.

EngineerIt's very tight, 10 milliseconds with the new P5.

EngineerAll right mate, that's P7, P7.

Pierre GASLYTwo weekends in a row, so... Good job guys, very good job.

EngineerYeah, it's very tight, 10 milliseconds would put you at P5, so...

Pierre GASLYYeah,

Engineeranyway, very

Pierre GASLYgood job. It's still a good job, we're making good progress, so... We're getting closer to the guys I had in quali, so... Let's look at the positives.

EngineerI think it was well executed. Just negative on your delta please, just negative on your delta. Yeah,

Pierre GASLYthat turn 12... Turn 11, turn 12, it was quite tricky, the whole session. But from that, the balance was good, so...

EngineerI

Pierre GASLYthink it's all positive, now we... Now we've got to improve, but... Good job. We'll get some big points on Sunday, and...

EngineerI'm

Pierre GASLYin good condition.

EngineerOkay. Certainly will. So, box on the stamp. And you go to the box on May, please.

EngineerOkay, and P1
