Abu Dhabi Grand Prix2024 · Practice 1 team radio

EngineerOkay mate, we're holding that all the way down to turn six.

Lando NORRISThe radio is shocking and you can just go back to normal, please.

Isack HADJARWheel clearance is bad, I'm struggling.

George RUSSELLDo you think Drew Mitchell is going to box?

EngineerUnsure of his run plan, so we'll build a gap to him.

George RUSSELLStopping power into 6th didn't feel great.

Kevin MAGNUSSENI still think I prefer to do another push after this and then a double after that

EngineerCurrently P3. It's half a second to George in P1. We missed the DRS with the yellow down at 6.7.

Arthur LECLERCI think we'll do a small step of front lap, or not small.

EngineerYeah, we can speak in the garage, we've got 10 minutes, turn around, 12 minutes, and box, speed confirm and box.

Sergio PEREZThe high speed feels a little bit too much from the wing, I'm braking at 12, 12 and 15, a little bit on the left side.

Sergio PEREZLet me get a proper read now.

EngineerPush up to turn 5, don't wait for the moment just push up to turn 5, 6, good at turn 9

EngineerSo unsure of Browning's program, so we'll just keep building a small gap to him.

Liam LAWSONYeah, okay, I have for some reason very low efficiency on the initial break just going deep

EngineerYou should come out just now.

EngineerSo we're going to go nice and steady on this lap jack to help bring those tyre temps down.

Isack HADJARYeah, 4th left was not ready for T1. Had to lock up.

EngineerYeah, copy that. Then, short thing. Doing it, 4 seconds.

Lando NORRISThe radio is still shit comparing to normal, but it's too much still, it's just crackling and you're not very clear. The radio is still shit comparing to normal, but it's too much still, it's just crackling and you're not very clear.

Lando NORRISThe radio is still comparing to normal, but it's too much still, it's just crackling and you're not very clear.

Liam LAWSONI still feel like I have quite poor efficiency on brakes

EngineerIs it everywhere or specific corners with wind?

Liam LAWSONFor me it's turn 5 and turn 6 so it can't be wind Loud

Engineerand clear, we're checking

ZHOU GuanyuWhy am I not full factory of the energy?

EngineerAnd Lando, do you want to press black button?

Engineerdo the same out of turn 7 multi b1 position 4 5th gear

Pierre GASLYYeah, a bit of front locking, I feel, and a bit of understeering with corner, slightly snappy traction out of the low speed.

EngineerYou mean now or at the end of this lap you can go for your second push?

Arthur LECLERCYou mean now or at the end of this

Engineerlap?

EngineerVery good. Okay, we will get some initial comments when you're plugged in back in the garage. Stand by.

Pierre GASLYYeah, can I just push the next stop? Yeah, okay recharge on

George RUSSELLYeah, whatever.

EngineerNiko we're thinking of adding 0.4 Yeah,

Nico HULKENBERGI was going to say 0.5 but...

EngineerOpportunity, turn 9, back off entry for throttle pickup

EngineerTurn 12 this year. Yeah turn 12, 2 tenths and then turn 16 also 2 tenths. Is that under braking still?

EngineerLet our tyres cool a bit, the rears especially, well in fact all four tyres can cool a bit

Isack HADJARAh man, anything left for our third push?

EngineerNo, we don't have the time. We think it was probably about two tenths.

Isack HADJARYeah, and I was way too early on the brakes in T6. It's a shame.

Isack HADJARYeah, clearly lacking rotation mid-corner. Joe at three seconds

George RUSSELLYeah, the soft tyre, I didn't like it as much as the medium, obviously a lot more grip but the balance went away.

Luke BROWNINGI think the soft side definitely comes off quite heavily at the end.

EngineerWe are expecting a C5 to drop, but we'll give it a go. We've got Colapinto behind on an outlap.

Ayumu IWASAStill quite understeer on medium-low speed corners. For me, it's coming from more the tyre. Front is starting to degrade. But still, if I can have a bit more rotation on middle of the corner, let's say, course timing, it should be good for me. OK.

Jack DOOHANBut I was also struggling with the front under 12 and 13.

EngineerSo Rio line through turn two three looks good Braking into six the braking point is good, but not necessarily getting the car stopped well enough. There's another ten bar available there

EngineerAnd for turn nine, suggest fourth gear. Turn nine, fourth gear.

EngineerTurn six that lockup was not the peak pressure peak pressure was good. There's still five bar potential peak pressure

Pierre GASLYThe mapping...

EngineerOkay, copy that.

EngineerSo you'll be looking for it right in the mechanics all right nice and steady

Ryo HIRAKAWASorry, it wasn't clear if I could go.

EngineerOkay, no problem. We're all good.

EngineerAnd opportunity, turn one, turn five, later braking.

Ayumu IWASAI want more rotation everywhere, actually. Paris 3.

George RUSSELLFor the high speed bounce in.

EngineerKeep up the management turn 2, don't let the liftoff in turn 2 drop.

Felipe DRUGOVICHAnything I can do with the controls there, please?

EngineerBalance update.

Sergio PEREZYeah, it's going more on the rear.

George RUSSELLBut I was going up with the stability at the moment, so I won the seat on the last lap.

Pierre GASLYIt was that guy in the Alpha tower, because he did a start with cars in front of him.

EngineerThat was Iwasa, so reminder for recharge off at the start.

EngineerRemember to stay off kerbs and target clear air where possible for the best data.

Ryo HIRAKAWAYep, all good.

Isack HADJARWheel clearance is bad, I'm struggling.

EngineerOkay.

Isack HADJARYeah, zero efficiency, sorry copy

Engineerthat

EngineerAll okay in the car?

Isack HADJARWell, as I said, I'm struggling with the wheel clearance. Everything with the slit is fine, except that I'm limited with my legs touching.

EngineerCopy that.

Luke BROWNINGI looked through his Netflix.

Lando NORRISYeah, just

Engineerbe careful of the behind you.

Arthur LECLERCYeah, I feel a big dig for the second half already.

EngineerOkay, understood.

Isack HADJARMan, the Williams destroyed me in the chicane, didn't know what he was doing

EngineerCopy that

George RUSSELLYeah, whatever it is, I'm not liking these brakes even coming into the box. Just not feeling the normal deceleration.

EngineerYeah, copy that.

Isack HADJARYeah, f***, man. You had to back off last corner, man.

EngineerMate,

ZHOU Guanyusend me issue guys, come on, understand like f***ing crazy.

EngineerThank you, Luke. Good session. Lots we can do in the test together, but good to see the progression across it and good underlying foundations. Hope you enjoyed it.

Luke BROWNINGYeah, I loved it.

Fernando ALONSOWorst car ever and worst traffic preparation ever. Next time I do my out lap myself.

Arthur LECLERCJust saying hello to my brother. Yeah, I've seen. That's quite good.

EngineerThanks for the session. It was full of procedures and rake and a lot of data collection that were very useful. Thank you very much for your help.

Ayumu IWASAThank you very much from my side as well. That was a very good session for me. Yeah, also I had a good experience from this session and I will use this experience for the future in the sim and for the real car.

EngineerAbsolutely. Arigato.

Ayumu IWASAArigato.

Ryo HIRAKAWAYeah, I just want to say thank you for all the opportunity. Yeah, it's really, really, really nice to work with you guys. And also to the TPC team in the factory. They work really hard to get ready for me. So thank you, everyone.

EngineerYeah, well done, Rio. Well executed session from your side. Thank you for that. Very good job.

EngineerSwitch off, please. Switch off. Switch off. No shift. Thank you. We have a possible hydraulic issue.
