Chinese Grand Prix2024 · Sprint team radio

Yuki TSUNODAMan, I don't think they're serving us right.

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, it's quite going left.

EngineerOkay, we check it.

Sergio PEREZYeah, what people are saying on the medium the grip level

EngineerWe'll discuss things back in the garage.

EngineerWind speed, wind direction, all looks as forecast.

Carlos SAINZSteering wheel is down to the right still quite a lot even with the wind change so maybe worth checking

George RUSSELLGrip feels better than everyone.

EngineerWe had a little bit of a front brake temperature split on the lap screen. So a bit of straight line braking into the obvious places. So it's 14.

Engineeroscar tar info most cars on medium only russell on new soft have a good spring race

Lewis HAMILTONDoes that wind or head wind into 206?

EngineerThat should be headwind into six. So tailwind.

Logan SARGEANTMate, they're backing it up so much. It's

Engineera

Logan SARGEANTjoke.

EngineerEnergy if you need, Lance. Energy is available.

Pierre GASLYYeah, push me up, talk.

EngineerEngine 11, position 7, minus 2. Engine 11, position 7, minus 2.

EngineerEngine 8, position 14, thrust 2. Engine 8, position 14, thrust 2.

EngineerOkay, Kev, appreciate you're in a fight, but we're just overusing the right-hand front in Turn 7 a little.

EngineerLando Minor, white h2, position 7, white h2, position 7.

EngineerI recommend also closing up this bit

EngineerOkay, Kev, we generally see some entry instability, so suggest reducing EB or maybe coming up on diff entry.

EngineerBotas is about to lose DRS, just about a tenth away from losing DRS.

EngineerOverall good job on the tires. Continue like this.

EngineerOkay, Pierre, can we get fail B05 off? That's B05 off.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, fun. Definitely a lot of passion.

EngineerKeep hitting us with cheers.

EngineerAnd so obviously we've got a bit of breathing space with Hulkenberg now. He's racing Ocon on Gasly. So just focus ahead. Focus on exits. Turn three and turn six if you can.

EngineerStrat 11, more energy. Strat 11.

Lando NORRISI think we're a bit better than some others, but it'll be very difficult.

EngineerSo those compared to cars behind pace isn't bad. So we've got Lonzo 42.0.

EngineerOthers are struggling as well. Car behind now, Russell, two and a half seconds on the softs. He's managing a lot.

EngineerHe's now 3.5, Zou is still dropping, he's now 3.5 ahead of you.

EngineerYou can drop your diff mid one or two step

Engineeryou can drop your diff mid 1 or 2 step

Engineerfor the understeer. Can do offset minus 1 for the understeer.

EngineerSauber on a medium. Some information on the soft with Russell it looks to be about similar pace about two laps ago he did manage to overtake a Sauber on a medium.

Engineersome information on the soft with russell it looks to be about similar pace about two laps ago he did manage to overtake a sauber on a medium yeah

Lando NORRISi'm just struggling with rears just probably have a lot more traction than we do

EngineerSome information on the soft with Russell it looks to be about similar pace about two laps ago He did manage to overtake a Sauber on a medium

Lando NORRISYeah, I'm just struggling with rears. The Ferrari have a lot more traction than we do.

EngineerRepeat the last message. We are very happy with your tyre management.

EngineerWe suggest EB7 and BMG4.

EngineerLooks like cars are starting to enter graining phase, generally.

EngineerEngine 8, position 12, when you can. Engine 8, position 12, not your chance.

EngineerIf entry upstairs becoming an issue, head 7 might help.

Logan SARGEANTMy fronts are just too unloaded a lot of the time. I need the front to hold the ground better.

EngineerOkay, let's try back to EB8 to give a bit of a breeze to the rear tires. EB8.

EngineerNot a lot to add. Where am I losing time anyway?

EngineerGeorge, green one, position nine. Green one, position nine. That's more deployment.

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, because they're stuck behind something there.

Engineerto position nine white

Charles LECLERCI'll have some derating.

EngineerCopy, we are checking.

EngineerB-Bell 10 is available as a test max if you want it.

Sergio PEREZI don't have any traction.

EngineerSo the green shape three inside front looking a bit more on the limit into nine and 14 now

EngineerIt's three laps to go, three to go, Renfro, Fernando stopped behind, he had a puncture.

EngineerThe clerk behind at 1.7 for aggressive tip-in locking, aggressive tip-in locking.

EngineerPossible debris turn one. Two to go.

EngineerOne more lap after this. One more when you cross the line.

Charles LECLERCSuck a f***.

EngineerOk, good job Max.

Max VERSTAPPENKept it clean and clinical. Yeah, that was good. Yeah,

Engineerwell done Max. Another sprint win and really good data for tomorrow.

EngineerWell, those qualifying this afternoon we get to do all again

EngineerYou see debris in the nose and front wing area.

Lando NORRISYeah, but it was only for the last lap

EngineerOkay Kev, checkered flag, well done mate, well done for hanging on there. P10, that's a very good effort mate, appreciate the car wasn't it sir, all you'd want it to be.

EngineerWe finished very close to the point today, let's repeat the same tomorrow at the point at the end of lap 1.

ZHOU GuanyuThank you, man. It's great to be home. Let's keep working. Thank you.

EngineerOK mate, unlucky, so that's the flag there.

Lance STROLLOh man, that was fun.

Yuki TSUNODAHe's Zasta honestly

Daniel RICCIARDOQuite a bit to make from that, so yeah, some good info, I guess.

EngineerOkay, good job Alex. So he's 17 today, but I think you got the most out of it

Lando NORRISDid my lap get deleted? We are saying the lap will be reinstated. If it's reinstated, you're on pole. I didn't go off anywhere, so...
