Las Vegas Grand Prix2024 · Race team radio

EngineerOkay, Lando, it'll be a big lift into Turn 5. There'll be no full load after Turn 5. Where possible, keep speed high through the corners.

EngineerGood weaving down here and then a 100 meter lift before a good break.

EngineerYou were good on the target, just go for a repeat, don't be shy in the wait phase.

EngineerYellow modifier reminder.

EngineerLong way to go, so five cars before, five cars behind Perez, first one.

EngineerLeclerc being told to save 10-11

EngineerConsider mode TS, priority are tires, mode TS

EngineerAnd gap now 0.9. Nicola pushing a little bit more here.

EngineerAnd just think about the management turn 11 just stay on top of it

EngineerSo this is lap four. This is lap four now. Still thinking plan eight. I'll come down on air amounts.

EngineerSwitch position yellow and mode X, mode X for one lap, 2C.

Sergio PEREZWe are quite slow on the straight.

EngineerSo what's your front bite? That's our main concern.

EngineerStill got scope on diff entry. I wish to protect that.

EngineerSo our front energies are looking good, rears are the concern.

EngineerPace up front is a 38.5. Just keep up the management for now, Max.

Pierre GASLYSliding a lot, sector 2.

EngineerAnd Lando, the execution is with us. Leclerc ahead is struggling.

Oscar PIASTRIYeah, so my railway ride is not great at all.

EngineerCharles, if we stop, we finish behind everyone, then we need to make it through.

Charles LECLERCYeah, but are we faster than the last guys, like the front?

EngineerBox, Charles, box. Box, Charles, box. Flap update.

EngineerStrat 5, Strat 5.

EngineerTyres is a priority, saving the corners that we discussed.

Max VERSTAPPENMode 6. That's one take long.

Max VERSTAPPENI'm also digging up.

EngineerWe're watching the people Niko who have been it already we're monitoring everything

EngineerCould be close to the staff net exit.

George RUSSELLThey've got some more laps in them. They are definitely dropping. I think the target's okay.

EngineerYeah, we think safe thing though to keep the position ahead of a snap and not come out on top of him

EngineerInto management please mate. Turn 3, 10 and 11.

EngineerIt won't be long, so just use the tyres. Tyres are still okay.

Lewis HAMILTONYou sure? I don't feel like I'm dancing.

EngineerYeah, we're sure so box box hard is the best tire gonna lose three positions so watch the white line

EngineerIf you can't overtake, let's just try and manage these fronts the best you can. We can manage the front more in turn three.

EngineerCheco, is this your pace? Is this where the tyre is at?

Sergio PEREZYeah, I picked up graining. Let's

Engineersee

Sergio PEREZif it needs up.

Carlos SAINZCorrect me if I'm wrong, but it feels more like Black Sea for the moment.

Nico HULKENBERGIt feels very weird, the personal balance.

EngineerSo just watch any inside wheel pinch into turn 5 Max. Previous lap deficits to Carlos were exit turn 3, 10.11 and braking turn 14.

EngineerGreat stuff, Lewis. Leclerc next car. Four lap offset on the tyre.

ZHOU GuanyuWhy do you recommend high-speed boating? I don't like it, man. Leave it to me, high-speed boating.

EngineerThe hearts do need management, Kev. The hearts do need management.

EngineerSo

Valtteri BOTTASwhat's

Engineerthe

Valtteri BOTTASpushing level?

Engineerthree position two well

George RUSSELLjust give me a place where you want me to do 10 10 11 i'm still managing a lot

Engineerstarters. These two, we think a lot of people are converting to two-stop, especially the hard starters. These two guys ahead both have older hards than you. They have done one stop already.

EngineerWe think a lot of people are converting to two-stop, especially the hard starters. These two guys ahead both have older hards than you. They have done one-stop already.

EngineerThey're happy to reduce some of the management, turn 10, turn 11.

EngineerAnd Lando, 4th gear in turn 5 is helping the other car a lot with the PU temps, so 4th gear turn 5.

EngineerGood job. Start the lift earlier for turn 11. You don't have to lift as much, just lift earlier.

EngineerAnd I suggest using fourth gear in turn five. It helps a lot with KU cooling.

EngineerAnd a minor how the tires and how's the pace

Lando NORRISThe front ride looks like he's about to go any lap, gonna see if he does.

EngineerOK mate, so we think we're good for plan A still, some cars out there on the hard tyre complaining, struggling with graining, they might have to stop again. Stick with it.

Max VERSTAPPENMy right front doesn't look good.

EngineerScience could be suffering with a similar issue here Norris and Piastri do have problems

Fernando ALONSOYeah, I camped with people behind me, so I won't love too late.

George RUSSELLOn the stage, creeping up, turn 12 by pace.

EngineerSo yes, the cars ahead are starting to struggle less than us, but yes.

EngineerI

Max VERSTAPPENguess we need to try and survive a little bit.

EngineerWe're expecting Carlos in this lap, Max.

Lewis HAMILTONGood cool guys signs came into the pit lane, but then he cut over

Esteban OCONYeah, I got hit.

EngineerUnderstood, SOC 8.

EngineerSo we'll be plan B here.

George RUSSELLFrom Ryerson, Battletown 1.

EngineerTurn five don't challenge the braking too much

George RUSSELLYeah, we're going to keep an eye on the left half of the field, just to stay in 37.6.

Nico HULKENBERGFront star on the way out again. What do you want to do with flap?

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, yeah, I'm doing my race.

EngineerSo do not push in the corners do what you did before it's a long race Do not grain that front right time

EngineerOkay, good job, good job. Keep managing your tires, you're doing good.

EngineerSo information George if there was a safety car we would only have the soft tire to go to

EngineerYou are doing much better than before good job keep focusing on it

EngineerJust remember, discipline on this tyre whilst we're introducing it.

EngineerThe priority is to get to the end with best pace on this tyre.

EngineerAnd on George's last set, some front right graining, that was 20 laps old.

EngineerOkay 16 laps to go, stick with it we're P8 at the moment.

EngineerOscar, ahead of you, cars ahead of Lando and the two Ferraris, so points-wise we're not in a bad place here. Priority is protecting against cars behind. It's a really strong tyre management, 15 laps after this one.

EngineerTurn 14 can afford higher peak coming off a bit quicker.

George RUSSELLMy dash delta doesn't seem to be updated, we can't follow it.

EngineerThere's some plastic debris on track exit turn 12 big white thing

Nico HULKENBERGHow many laps to my tires up pressure?

EngineerYours are four laps fresher than Sonoda.

EngineerOscar, there could be a small piece of debris on the outside exit of 12.

Max VERSTAPPENI don't need to have to push for the order.

EngineerAnd Lando, we understand why you didn't take the diffs, so therefore we suggest right-hand paddle for turn one, right-hand paddle for turn one, because you can tell when the gusts there are getting bigger.

EngineerTen to go at the end this one ten to go you can do it mate. He's five and a half behind Paris five and a half down

EngineerOK, so we've been monitoring it. Numbers look OK at the moment. Joe 5 behind.

EngineerTurn one this time round was a gust of wind. We still think right hand paddle will help with that.

EngineerEight to go, Nico. We've got to get it to the end.

Esteban OCONWhere we are now, don't take risks.

EngineerNo, absolutely we're not.

Esteban OCONGet it, Lewis.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerJust be careful with the amount of oversteer.

Lewis HAMILTONDon't talk to me in

Engineerthe

Lewis HAMILTONbreaking zone

EngineerLando, critical. Be careful with the oversteer.

Lando NORRISYeah, but... OK.

Charles LECLERCYeah, so 10 is okay. All right. I'll just bring the car home.

Carlos SAINZOkay. Yeah. Not our day. Not our day.

Lewis HAMILTONfantastic effort this weekend guys you really deserve it it's been a long long year and results like this have not come easy so I'm really proud of you all and I'm grateful I could get up there for you

Engineerno great work Lewis that's an excellent recovery today real great drive

George RUSSELLI just want to say there's

Engineera

George RUSSELLreally big thanks to everybody who worked so hard to bring new parts to the car. I know we had a tough couple of races.

EngineerI'll see you in the casino later.

EngineerI thought that was a brilliant drive from your mate in the circumstances p12 is not enough of a result for that thanks very much

EngineerSo Kev, you were the only guy able to do a one-stop race. You did excellent managing the tyres. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not a good thing. That's not a good thing. Well, that's another thing, yeah.

EngineerMan, awesome. You're the tire managing guy now.

Nico HULKENBERGAh, boys.

EngineerFeels

Nico HULKENBERGnice. Good job all weekend, guys. Car was pretty good. Thank you. Thanks very much.

EngineerYeah, fantastic, Nico. Great racing. Thank you.

EngineerI think it was a good race guys, not a lot more with what we have, good step forward compared to before

ZHOU GuanyuWe are lacking clearly a lot of straight line speed. I have the eyes on, I'm not even catching anyone.

EngineerYeah, very difficult race with the tyres, as expected, Valtteri.

Valtteri BOTTASYeah, even Valtteri didn't expect that.

EngineerSo everybody two-stopped except for Magnussen. Magnussen finished P12. And Joe finished just behind him in P13.

EngineerWell Franco, I think it's a good recovery from where we are today, there's a lot of learning on certainly how to use those front tyres and we've still got two more races to go so well done on the recovery, I'm looking forward to finishing the season here.

Liam LAWSONIn terms of braking, I'm

Engineergoing

Liam LAWSONto hit the wall, you know, if I go any deeper.

EngineerYeah, it's super clear, we don't have the grip, so I'm not sure what the reason is.

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, max out. So annoying! Oh my god, so annoying.

Yuki TSUNODAMay I just? Oh, yeah.

Yuki TSUNODABy the way, congrats to Max also. Impressive season from him. Congrats to Red Bull and Max. Amazing.

EngineerYeah, copy. Sorry for the mistake in the box, I need to review... No, no, no, no, no, no apologies needed, we'll review everything back in the office, OK? Absolutely not your fault, we'll review everything when you're back, OK?

Esteban OCONOK.

EngineerAlright mate, just want to say thanks for your efforts on everything.

EngineerA good drive, P11 I'm afraid, P11.

Fernando ALONSOSo unfair. There's no penalty, no investigation, nothing that we can score points.

EngineerI'm afraid not mate, doesn't look like it.

EngineerAnd the wind is very changeable.

Kevin MAGNUSSENLawson moving the straight line when I was nip-draping. You know, he was reacting.

Lewis HAMILTONWhat the hell man, how many places have I just lost?

EngineerWe would have dropped another five places if we'd hung it out any longer.

Pierre GASLYLow on power, low on power. Engine receive.

EngineerEverything's looking okay for us, we hit the limiter.

Pierre GASLYWait, I have no power!

Pierre GASLYHold on.

Carlos SAINZ40 seconds behind Give

Engineerus two laps and we come back to you

EngineerStill the preference for now is plan A for now, plan A, less graining kicking.

Lando NORRISA different ride looks like it's about to go any, any lap.

EngineerAnd

Lewis HAMILTONhe's got the faucet straight in it.

EngineerAlex, we've got a terminal problem here, we need to retire the car.

Carlos SAINZLet's get off these tires

Carlos SAINZFucks me guys fucks me

Carlos SAINZWhat happened? We're not ready. Wake up, guys. Come on.

EngineerAh, Max, just don't lose sight of our aim today, yeah?

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, yeah, I'm doing my racing.

Max VERSTAPPENYou want me to try and keep them behind, or what?

EngineerI think you should, yeah.

EngineerSo George, just keep picking up the pace here.

EngineerWhen you come to a stop mode RS for the start

EngineerI cannot hear you watch balaclava mic and box box push all the way to pit entry

Yuki TSUNODAMaybe a little bit overstarry in general. It's actually like something I had a... had a quality thing throughout.

EngineerIt's

George RUSSELLalmost like straight off of a star it goes into an E-Rate.

EngineerSo wind looks to be 20 kph as you exit turn 12 then round the kink it drops down towards zero

Max VERSTAPPENAnd that is four in a row, Max. Four in a row. Congratulations. Max Verstappen, you are a four-time world champion. That is a phenomenal, phenomenal achievement. You can be incredibly proud of yourself as we are. Amazing. Well done. Oh, my God, man. What a season. Four times. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Thank you to everyone. I mean, it was a little bit more difficult than last year, but we pulled through and we gave it all. Thank you so much, guys.

Engineerrecharge on and maximize full pedal

George RUSSELLVEGAS BABY! WOOO! VEGAS!

EngineerViva Las Vegas, baby! VIVA! WOOHOOHOOHOO!

George RUSSELLOH BOYS

EngineerAND

George RUSSELLGIRLS! WOW! Hold

Engineeron! Well done mate. Superb drive today. Faultless.

Oscar PIASTRII would just check the radiator inlets and stuff, brake ducts, because there's a lot of rubbish flying around.

Max VERSTAPPENI never thought this was possible, but thanks to you guys earlier. So yeah, thanks again

Max VERSTAPPENUh, no, just, uh, which is a little bit weird is that the steering wheel is right hand down.

EngineerOkay, likely to be a wind effect, but we'll have a look.

EngineerAny other issues? Have you tested the drinks here as well? Yeah, we do now. OK, perfect.

EngineerAny other issues?

EngineerAll on medium, just parrots, first half started.

Pierre GASLYLet's do this
