Hungarian Grand Prix2024 · Race team radio

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, ready to go, check it.

EngineerOkay, radio's good, now focus on balance.

EngineerJust noting track looks very dirty around turns 2-3.

Sergio PEREZWell done guys amazing job, let's

Engineergo

Sergio PEREZfor a very good race

EngineerLaunch feedback, you were on target, initial throttle was good, and a reminder to leave a gap to the car ahead.

Pierre GASLYFront brake smoking, front left.

EngineerAnd your clutch drop was on target that time?

Yuki TSUNODACheck the fail to fail.

EngineerI

Yuki TSUNODAthink I did okay, corrected well, but just to confirm.

EngineerNo downshift in 11 try to keep sixth gear

EngineerIs the engine hot? Yeah that's fine, we'll just recharge on and cool after 5 please I feel the balance is down to 4 if you like

Lando NORRISJust worth a check, but my throttle pedal potentially seems a little bit lighter than what I think it should be. It might just be me, but please double-check if you love me.

EngineerCopy, will check.

George RUSSELL13 exit as well, really lots of marbles Yeah,

Engineerany film?

Charles LECLERCYeah, it's really good. I do want to hit the other button.

George RUSSELLSomeone take this halo thumb, please

EngineerJust confirming, something is definitely not right with the throttle, it's not how it should be.

EngineerAnd a message for Andy. Happy birthday and have a good last race, mate. Thank you for everything.

EngineerDaniel, in terms of wind, what we measured on the car in the lobster grid was slightly different than what we talked about in the garage, so it's more like a tailwind out of turn one.

EngineerOkay, Nico, two and a half minutes till we go. Cars ahead on soft is Alonso, Stroll, and then behind, Albon and Kevin, soft, okay? And then in the back, Perez, Russell, Gasly on hard. Everyone else on medium.

Lando NORRISMax has to give the position.

EngineerWe're on it.

Kevin MAGNUSSENHow's my left front? How's my left front?

EngineerTire pressure is okay Kev, tire pressure is okay

Lando NORRISYeah, he committed to the outside, so he was run off. You can't do that.

Pierre GASLYCareful warm-up on the hub.

Max VERSTAPPENI got forced off. I was ahead of the apex and I just opened the wheel and I got forced off.

EngineerUnderstood Max.

EngineerOkay, keep pushing, George.

Engineerwe've informed race control by the regulation they should give the position back or face a more severe penalty yeah he was only ahead because he brakes way too deep he committed to the exit

EngineerMax, the incident is under investigation. I think our recommendation is you let this go, we can talk about it later. So if you let Lando past, down to turn one.

Max VERSTAPPENWhy can't they just say what they think, and then we decide that's the f***?

Max VERSTAPPENOkay, so you can just drive people off the track then. And you can tell the FAA that's how we're

Engineergoing

Max VERSTAPPENto race from now onwards. Just driving people off the road.

EngineerAlbon. So far it's kind of okay.

EngineerWe are now plan A, plan A.

Fernando ALONSOCopy, everything feels better than expected.

Alexander ALBONI'm about 8 tenths in hands, easy, at least.

Pierre GASLYAh, it's me on braking, braking's on appeal right

EngineerI

Valtteri BOTTASneed some more rear support in turn 8 and 9.

ZHOU GuanyuSpecial

Engineertwo for last two corners.

EngineerSo Oscar, plan A target lap, plan A target lap, Alonso in P7 doing 1.25.8, so we're clearing a good gap on those cars.

EngineerSo, George, we do need that mode, strat 11.

EngineerOrlando just managed to pace a little bit in turn 11 and rear slips turn 7

Alexander ALBONDoesn't want to have damage. He's so slow

Sergio PEREZI am by front limited, all around.

Pierre GASLYDon't have any efficiency

Lance STROLLI'm feeling overheating on the front.

EngineerWould you like a change to the high-speed diff max? 10-4, 10-11? No, not now.

EngineerThe front is going away. Offset two for tyres.

EngineerSwitch position red. Switch position red.

Kevin MAGNUSSENMisfire at heart trouble!

EngineerUnderstood, Alex. So we're thinking plan A minus four.

EngineerAnd we believe our race is with Verstappen. Continue to open a gap. This is good. It's now 2.9.

Lance STROLLThat lap was really bad.

EngineerOkay, we're now in the window for a safety car or virtual safety car.

EngineerAt the moment, Lance is about a second behind us, if he pits, and Sunoda is about three and a half behind us.

Fernando ALONSOYeah, I don't want to know, man. I don't know. We lost the race with everybody.

Kevin MAGNUSSENFix this engine issue

EngineerRoll had a slow stop, could be close pit exit, use overtake.

EngineerAnd I know both safety car windows are open. For plan A, please confirm.

EngineerAnd Ableton is in, we go plan B both cows.

EngineerAnd Hamilton is in, we go plan B both cars, hard lap 24.9, 24.9.

Engineer100% pace, please, 100% pace.

EngineerThis is outlap two or three. Stint two. We are not trying to undercut. Tsunoda and then Hamilton over the start finish line there behind.

Max VERSTAPPENI can't brake, I can't enter corners, front and rear is just really bad.

EngineerCopy that, Max.

EngineerI

Lewis HAMILTONdon't need a back up, alright

EngineerNo, it's just that it matches the times The chassis defaults What's he doing?

EngineerHard tires have shown high deck so we'll have to manage them

EngineerSo this happens stayed out so it's three seconds safe to him just keep that gap out

Lewis HAMILTONThis side I've cancelled my script.

Charles LECLERCThink about that seat.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerWe need to manage the pace a little bit more in turn four. Hamilton is the car behind, 2.2.

Sergio PEREZYeah, we can do two. The realest I put on this compound, but I'm just, yeah, to front limited.

EngineerKeep it up. This is really good driving.

EngineerDon't lose time with science here. We are racing Perez.

EngineerEngine braking plus one.

EngineerSuggest trying mid six to help the balance.

EngineerSo Alex, we're now thinking we're going to have to go to plan B.

Alexander ALBONYeah, but I don't appreciate when you do that, and I will tell you the truth, we're just too indecisive.

EngineerWhere am

Lewis HAMILTONI losing?

EngineerSo second half of the lap, mainly the final sector.

EngineerAnd George, currently plan B.

Engineersuggest blue b7 blue b7 what you did in turn five was good same now in turn 13.

EngineerThis could do with another 50 meters lift and coast to help surface temps

EngineerTrack is clear, let's make it count. Track is clear, let's make it count.

EngineerCan

George RUSSELLwe even consider it one stop?

EngineerI need for you to just feedback on tires.

George RUSSELLI feel like I've stabilized

EngineerBehind is Piastri. He's the leader. You should be able to match his pace. Stay away from the blue.

Alexander ALBONYou're giving me that time because I don't think I can.

EngineerIf you can, you can try to brake 10 meters later turn 1, carry more speed, carry more speed in 6 and go orange curb aggressive turn 7.

EngineerFeedback on tyres please George

EngineerAnd switch position yellow.

EngineerFor

George RUSSELLlove of the same.

Yuki TSUNODACheck that we're looking to make sure everything's okay.

Max VERSTAPPENI'm minus five gigabytes and the thing just doesn't turn. It's unbelievable.

Fernando ALONSOI think as many laps as we can do on free air is better.

ZHOU GuanyuMy tire is not even going to stay that way.

Lewis HAMILTONNow it's slower compared to others. We're in trouble.

EngineerWe are right on Bottas' pit window. Any more performance you can get will be good.

EngineerAnd Landry is 1.3, okay to race the papaya car, but still the mid 40s.

EngineerAnd Landon is 1.3, OK to race the papaya car, but still the mid-40s.

Carlos SAINZWhat

Engineerdo

Carlos SAINZyou wish in front of Max, just to be on Max's truck? Hamilton

Lewis HAMILTONIt's

Engineera

Lewis HAMILTONlong way to go, it's not downtime.

EngineerMode nine or press and hold the overtake. Why?

Max VERSTAPPENWhy? Then

Engineerpress and hold the overtake max if you're in mode seven, thank you

Engineerswitch position gray switch position gray

Max VERSTAPPENIt's quite impressive how we let ourselves get on the car that is completely f***ing erased.

Yuki TSUNODATire is good, but I don't think I can overtake him.

EngineerYeah, good, maintain this gap.

EngineerWe think we will not try and cover Hamilton. It's very early to stop now.

EngineerOscar, how far do you think we can get? Can we get to plan a target lap?

EngineerSo Orlando, gap to Hamilton is 28.5. We think it's a bit early at the moment. We'd still like to do target minus five at whatever pace we can get.

George RUSSELLParis seems quick considering the age of the tires.

Lewis HAMILTONAnd everyone's still going on that tyre, they're

Engineernot

Lewis HAMILTONgoing to be in trouble at the end of the race.

EngineerLando, opportunity, turn two, breaking point is good, less peak.

EngineerOkay, Oscar. Lando has pitted to cover Hamilton to make sure he covers Hamilton. We'll manage that situation. Best pace from you now. Best pace.

EngineerBest pace, don't worry about Lando.

Lewis HAMILTONWe've stopped too short, that's where I sit, mate.

EngineerOK, copy.

EngineerOkay Lando, Oscar has just pitted. He will likely come out just behind you. We'd like to re-establish the order at your convenience.

Logan SARGEANTI can't stop the car from rear locking.

EngineerLando, still 21 laps after this one. You do have the current fastest lap. Look after the tyres.

EngineerOkay Oscar, so once you get to Lando, we will swap position, we'll swap position, but we want to avoid Lando having to give up a lot of race time.

Fernando ALONSOWho are the leaders? We will get it up or no?

EngineerAnd land low, radio check please.

Lando NORRISYes, land it clear.

EngineerOK, save the tyres in turn 4 and turn 11 then please.

EngineerCan you update your tire switch for a safety car?

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, this tire is crap so I'll

Engineerjust

Lewis HAMILTONget it. I'll change it. It drives like hell if

Engineeryou

Lewis HAMILTONdon't let me.

EngineerWell, that's some gentle introduction.

Max VERSTAPPENNo, mate, don't give me that s**t now. You guys give me this s**t strategy, okay? I'm trying to rescue myself.

EngineerWe need you to save more tyres, please, and we do want to let Oscar through.

Lando NORRISWe should have boxed

Engineerhim

Lando NORRISfirst and fully now.

EngineerDoesn't matter.

Lando NORRISI mean, it does. To me, maybe.

EngineerAnd Lando, we still think you're using the tyres too much. Turn 4, turn 11, and the rears exit. Turn 6, turn 9, Oscars 3.5. I know you'll do the right thing.

EngineerAnd Lando Hiroshi is stressed about the tyre energies.

EngineerTurn 4 turn 11 it's gonna get boring

EngineerOK, Lando, 10 laps to go. We think both cars are using their tyres too much. Just remember, every single Sunday morning meeting we have.

Lando NORRISYeah, tell him to catch up then, please.

Max VERSTAPPENDid you leave the car, Sid?

EngineerWe think you were behind at the apex, Max. OK, whatever then.

EngineerLando, he can't catch you up. You've proved your point and it really doesn't matter. He's not much bigger size, my dresser, he's silly.

Lando NORRISI mean, I would have tried to run the cut anyway. If I didn't, I would have gone long.

EngineerMate, we did the stop sequence in this order for the good of the team.

Lando NORRISYeah, I'm fighting for the championship.

EngineerOkay, I'm trying to protect you, mate. I promise, I'm trying to protect you.

EngineerI didn't move the steering, mate. Copy mate, that was Verstappen, he arrived out of control into that one.

Max VERSTAPPENHe moved under braking!

EngineerI'm not even going to get into a radio fight with the other teams, Max. We'll let the stewards do their thing. It's childish on the radio. Childish.

Logan SARGEANTI mean I can keep going but yeah that's the state of the tire now. I mean I can keep going.

Engineerand Lando there are five laps to go the way to win a championship is not by yourself it's with the team you're going to need Oscar and you're going to need the team

Oscar PIASTRIWe'll leave this to the risk targets.

EngineerUnderstood Oscar, we're managing it.

EngineerIf there's a safety car now, it's going to make this very awkward. Please do it now.

Lando NORRISYeah, you don't need to say anything

EngineerWell done Oscar, well done. Checkered flag. Well done, buddy. Really good.

Oscar PIASTRIYep. Thank you, everyone. Thank you very much. Thanks for the coordination. Yeah, sorry, I made this swap a little bit more painful than it needed to be, but

EngineerYeah,

Oscar PIASTRIthank you. Appreciate that. Well done. Maximum points. Really good weekend. First F1 win. Thank you, everyone. Thank you very much. Thanks.

Lando NORRISWell done, good one too, good load of points. Progressive team, well deserved.

EngineerAs we said this morning, mate, many more opportunities.

EngineerAnd you are also driver of the day.

Oscar PIASTRIAh, nice little bonus, thank you.

EngineerAnd I understand the medical delegate needs to have a look at you and examine you under pot-fermented conditions when he gets out. I

Max VERSTAPPENunderstand the medical delegate, not the stewards, they need to have a look.

EngineerAre

Max VERSTAPPENthey all okay?

Engineer200 times you've been up on that podium, amazing.

Lewis HAMILTONThanks Bono, I couldn't have done it without you guys. I'm so proud of all of you and grateful to all of you, both here and back at the factory, for all the hard work. Really grateful to have done this with you. Great job today.

Daniel RICCIARDOI'm really trying to bite my tongue, but you must know how I feel about the first stop.

Daniel RICCIARDOIf you feel the same, please.

EngineerYeah, we review everything I we need to review everything I don't know what to say now

EngineerCheck the flag, Yuki. Yes, P9. Yes. Good job, mate.

Yuki TSUNODAOh, yes. Yes, yes, yes. Well done, man. Well done,

Engineerguys. Thank

Yuki TSUNODAyou for repairing the car. Glad that it was worth it.

EngineerGood job, mate. Fantastic.

George RUSSELLYeah, good job on the podium Obviously our damage was done yesterday, but

EngineerAt

George RUSSELLleast we got some points on the board And go for a better weekend

EngineerOkay, that was fun. Well done Kev. That was a good drive, sorry we didn't seem to have the pace today.

EngineerAnd well done people

Charles LECLERCYeah, good job was tricky with the part where I was behind Lewis Yeah, that's okay. Car felt quite good today.

EngineerYeah, I thought you handle really well the tires because we had much more used tires than everyone else

EngineerHot, hard day, but we did what we could. Yeah, it was a hard start, but thank you boys, thanks for your effort, we will come back. Our last stint was proper, we showed the pace there. Yeah, well done Checo, that was a decent drive today, good recovery. Yeah, can't wait to get back to the farm, the whole team deserves guys, thank you. What happened to Max? Max and Lewis encountered each other at Turn 1.

Nico HULKENBERGI guess we kind of lost the bet at the start already, but like you say the pace was obviously been more difficult with the long stints, but Didn't look like we had enough

EngineerAnd P6, P6

Carlos SAINZYeah, I guess the start and the first in was quite poor, but we'll analyze

Esteban OCONYeah, we need to check what height on the belt you've put before the race. Same issues as at the beginning of the year there.

EngineerThen

Esteban OCONthe other thing is, yeah, the car was probably the trickiest of the whole year. Like, it was just undriveable at low speed. So, yeah, I think it comes from what we say, you know, with the setup.

EngineerYeah, understood. Okay.

Esteban OCONThat we have to run with in qualifying. So, yeah, that is

Engineerwhy we struggled that much in the race. Yeah, we knew we were going to be in a bit of a difficult position with that one. Okay. Yeah, but that shouldn't be. Like, we were stuck in the corner. Yeah, I do appreciate it. I understand as well. It's all right. We'll get on top of it. All right.

Valtteri BOTTASYeah, I lost quite a bit of time with those and couldn't give up with the RBs as well. Still need more plays for top 10, so let's keep working.
