Canadian Grand Prix2024 · Practice 1 team radio

EngineerOkay Veltrine, so truck is clear at the moment.

Lewis HAMILTONIt's very low

Valtteri BOTTASYeah, I think we could do eight-twos.

EngineerShould be okay. Okay, copy.

EngineerIn the runoff at 1314 there's still a lot of standing water. That's just in the runoff at 13

Oscar PIASTRIThe grip feels okay so far. I think it's going to dry very quickly.

EngineerCopy.

Oscar PIASTRINo, grip feels okay so far. I think it's going to drive very quickly.

EngineerCopy. So the other car has done a once-past, Oscar. Your call whether you want to go once-past or box.

Oscar PIASTRII'll go once-past.

EngineerCopy. Switches are good. You've got plenty of space behind. You can open a gap to Bottas if you want.

George RUSSELLSteering to bit, left hand down.

EngineerCopy.

ZHOU GuanyuYeah, I lost a little bit of the car. Yeah, I'll go plan in man

EngineerGX, position 3, GX, position 3 It

Carlos SAINZdoesn't appear, because of the red flags, I don't know where I'm at Copy that

EngineerYeah, we'd like to do a start going out, please.

Kevin MAGNUSSENCopy.

EngineerAnd as discussed, let's get a feel for the track. We're happy to do a time-lap but no need to do too many. We want to avoid damaging the tires if possible.

EngineerAnd Oscar, if you think we're just going to damage the tyre, I'm happy to box, the other car has boxed.

Oscar PIASTRIYeah, I think we're going

Engineerto

Oscar PIASTRIdamage it.

EngineerCopy, so box.

George RUSSELLLet's just have a think here. There's a dry line to sector 2 and 3 Obviously if we need to hold on to these tyres.

EngineerDry

George RUSSELLline all the way down the back straight

EngineerOkay Pierre, that lap's good for P2. How's the track?

Pierre GASLYIt's good, yeah.

Pierre GASLYYeah, it's getting quite dry

EngineerOkay, so let's try and avoid to damage these so happy to complete this lap and then box

EngineerOK, Kev, from a tyre temperature point of view, we're happy to do another push lap.

Kevin MAGNUSSENI don't know,

EngineerI

Kevin MAGNUSSENthink it's getting tough for the tyres here.

EngineerOK, in that case, I'd recommend boxing this lap. FYI, you are P2, 29-0. The clerk is P1, 27-6.

Charles LECLERCNext car behind, Slur, Magnuson.

EngineerThe

Charles LECLERCtrack is so much drier compared to the lap before, like it's... Richard approaching behind 6. Don't worry, I've got it. And Vox? Copy, I've got everything, don't worry. The dry, we might drive on the dry before the end of the session. Perfect.

Carlos SAINZDo we expect rain for FP2?

EngineerYes, we do expect rain for FP2.

EngineerNo one pushing behind, look after your tails, box box.

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, understood.

Daniel RICCIARDOOkay, yeah, I'll give feedback in a second, but yeah,

Engineerall good.

EngineerOkay, Checo, so any reliability issues?

Sergio PEREZNo, no. I just had quite a lot of oscillations in the 10-10. I think that was in third gear.

EngineerThe

Sergio PEREZoscillations were very high.

EngineerTake care and just put temperature on the straights

EngineerSo just focus initially on building temperature max.

Carlos SAINZAnyone out on slicks?

EngineerYeah, it's Lando and Max in front of you, and Charles as well. Standing water exit turn 10 for info, and DRS off for flowbees for now, and then you can take it.

EngineerOn Daniel we take no risk, we take no risk, we try to learn for a drying track in quali. Sector 1 a bit down past the trees, and then not too bad. We have signs, turn 1 pushing, and then clear track.

EngineerLeclerc's first push was 4 seconds off compared to Inter, but track will keep increasing.

EngineerTry to overtake them, they are outlapped.

Carlos SAINZYeah, they need to let me by.

EngineerWe're going to get a read on bouncing and ride from 10 to 14 and then we'll be taking the checkered flag.

Charles LECLERCYeah, these guys are just staying completely in the middle Frustrating when you have people like this on track.

EngineerI know it was a purple middle sector

EngineerOkay Lance, we'll stay out for the grid start actually, we'll stay out for the grid start, so let's get a bit of cooling now, a bit of cooling now, and we'll stay out and go to the grid.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, that was a little off-road excursion.

EngineerYep, we saw that.

Valtteri BOTTASYeah, not so many laps obviously, and yeah, quite compromised conditions, every run was different grip levels, different patches of dry and wet track, so not easy to learn much, but at least we got initial idea of the balance. Yeah, part of the game happens when you try, so gotta find the limits, you know. It's pretty technical track, I mean, yeah, the chicanes and stuff, it needs a lot of precision, you're going over the curves, close to walls, it's enjoyable, and yeah, but let's hope for a bit more sun this afternoon. It's very smooth now, actually, super smooth track, so yeah, it changes a bit the setup philosophy for sure from the past, but yeah, and grip is also okay.
