Bahrain Grand Prix2024 · Qualifying team radio

EngineerThe wind is very similar to FP3

EngineerOkay, keep pace up after 13, introduce weaving please, down to 14.

EngineerLet's push.

Engineerand charge button on, box D slap

Carlos SAINZYeah, it was a strange thing also with drivability,

Engineerchange,

Carlos SAINZetc, drivability turned on.

EngineerEsteban did a 32-0.

Pierre GASLYYeah, please don't put me again behind you like that, because it's...

EngineerYep, copy that. Sorry, I swear too cold.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, they're all stopping. Can I go or not? I don't want to stop.

EngineerOkay. Cap is very close to the cars ahead.

EngineerYeah, I see him, I see him. Don't worry.

Nico HULKENBERGVery noisy, huh?

EngineerYou can weave a bit more between 8 and 10 and 10 and 11.

EngineerIs anyone coming on a fast lap? Sir, Albon will be first car on a lap, 17.15 seconds now.

EngineerOh, no, I'm past. Five, four. I'll throw up one. I see him. Seven then to Ricciardo behind him.

EngineerOkay, so DRS and weaving down to 11. Increase pace through 12 as well. Stroll one second behind.

Fernando ALONSOYeah, very good luck.

Logan SARGEANTWhere's the four tenths?

Engineermostly turn nine ten I think it's close to two tenths

George RUSSELLAll right, if

Engineerit

George RUSSELLwas okay, we'll

Engineerdo another run. Yeah, copy that. Understood.

Sergio PEREZI ran out of battery.

EngineerIt

Sergio PEREZwas the end of the lap.

Carlos SAINZI think we're safe guys

Logan SARGEANTThat Mercedes was slow to move I

Engineermean slow to move

EngineerIn terms of relocking and stability, do you think we have margin for offset minus 2? In the data, it looks like we could go minus 2.

EngineerOkay, there's going to be a bit of waiting here.

Engineerwe want to get in this key to be as in sync as we can be there's about five cars in front

EngineerThat's okay, we can only hold the car 20 more seconds and then basically we're gonna have to overtake on the outlet

Charles LECLERCI do not agree with this.

EngineerWe need to go, we are just checking the track evolution and all, so we need to make sure.

EngineerYeah, we're in a good place at the moment now Max in terms of timings

EngineerYou can't afford a gap here.

Lando NORRISYeah, wasted set, no.

EngineerDon't worry about it. Let's think about the next one.

Logan SARGEANTYeah, the rear's still nowhere starting that lap. I'm quite confused.

Pierre GASLYYeah, disaster outlab

EngineerOkay, Belgian, we are in P16, but we'll keep you in the car for a few minutes as we're the one on the edge, just in case someone gets a lap diluted.

EngineerWe're out. Yeah, I confirm. At the moment we are, there is about 16, we are 17.

Logan SARGEANTI don't know what

Engineerhappened.

Alexander ALBONI don't know who that Aston is, but he's left such a huge gap to the car in front.

EngineerSee, it's definitely getting warm.

EngineerI think you've got some margins. Keep up the accommodation, Max.

George RUSSELLStroll.

EngineerStroll eight seconds behind on a lap. Just keep building that temp.

EngineerThree seconds, don't turn, back off, let him by.

Yuki TSUNODAIt's already started.

EngineerSo overall that was that was a good lap as a reference science lap time 30.4

EngineerHe

Carlos SAINZhad a good foot load.

EngineerAnd so currently P6, it's 9 tenths of a step. He took a U, as did Perez and Alonso. Everyone else used.

EngineerThe guys in front of Carlos are stopping, we are not allowed to stop normally. Understood, we will report that.

Engineer1.5.

Yuki TSUNODAScience is slowing down. Two.

EngineerFront temperatures are coming up if anything we can work the front left bit more as well

EngineerSo just same out lap as we did in FP2 should be good to go

George RUSSELLAnd off the stroll.

EngineerSeven seconds to Ricciardo then. So now you've got stroll on your dash. Six and a half seconds.

EngineerCharles did a very good lap, I'm at 29.16

EngineerWe are safe.

EngineerOK, UKP 11, it was not a bad lap.

Yuki TSUNODAYeah.

EngineerThat's our taps looks like we want to work the front right a bit more

EngineerYou should be good on traffic

Engineerand the wind is the same than the previous run

EngineerOkay, press in button box now you're in sync with cars behind

EngineerThat was a good lap, and box now box.

George RUSSELLRight, it's really poor, turn 6, almost lost it.

EngineerSo you can use a bit of energy out of ten

EngineerSo let's go where the lead car which should help with the consistency so prepare the tyres as you need

Engineerand you'll be all clear on exit

Engineerwind looks like it's died down we straight out track is clear

EngineerKeep working the tires

EngineerDrive to the delta in lap driving

Lando NORRISYeah, talking is normal

EngineerI

Nico HULKENBERGdon't know

Engineerif

Nico HULKENBERGit's not great now, but trust me, it'll pay off tomorrow.

EngineerWell Miko, and really good job getting to Q3. The Q2 lap was awesome. Alright, we'll see you in a bit.

EngineerTime-ups, please.

Lando NORRISYeah, imagine what

Engineerit could have been, eh?

George RUSSELLGood job. Did a great job from testing to improve the car. Important one tomorrow.

EngineerYeah, hey Phil. Good effort everyone. Yeah, got a lot of laps ahead of us tomorrow.

Carlos SAINZProbably, yeah, decent quality, not quite there, but, really.

EngineerOK, Oscar, that's P8 in the end for us. Just went quick of an S on that last run.

Oscar PIASTRINot too bad, see what we can do tomorrow. Thanks guys and hell of a lot better than 12 months ago

EngineerYeah, the sun is probably not quite there, but nearly. Yeah, good iPhone there, 1 tenth.

Sergio PEREZlet's keep it up guys, well done, well done, good start

Oscar PIASTRIThanks guys and hell of a lot better than 12 months ago
