Mexico City Grand Prix2024 · Practice 3 team radio

Max VERSTAPPENI don't know if we're good to be honest. No speed, maybe.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerIt was a good lap wasn't it? It was a good lap until obviously the car yeah looked very good. Yeah we reckon you're on for an 18.0 which would have put you at P4.

Nico HULKENBERGBrakes don't feel good today, they feel numb, especially at turn one to four. Struggling to stop it at the end of braking.

EngineerOkay, copy that, we'll take a look.

Nico HULKENBERGBrakes don't feel good today. They feel numb, especially into turn one to four Struggling to stop it at the end of braking.

EngineerOkay, copy that. We'll take a look

Alexander ALBONWe've got weird balance, it's really neutral at high speed and then it's under sail at high speed.

Oscar PIASTRITypical Carlos.

Charles LECLERCThis

Engineerone is

Charles LECLERCnice!

Franco COLAPINTOI hit the floor quite hard, exit of 3

EngineerYeah, we saw it in the data, we'll have a look at it when you come back in

EngineerEucalyptus, that's P4 to P Astri, it's just over half a second That

Lewis HAMILTONwas a decent lap there, f***ing quick!

EngineerObviously Russell completely got in your way in sector 3 and he was on an in lap.

Max VERSTAPPENAh, this doesn't work. There's no grip front and rear.

EngineerThey should be able to attack the final sector max recharge off foot ready

Franco COLAPINTOGuys, you really need to check the brakes or the suspension, I don't know what it is.

EngineerOkay, understood Franco, we'll have a look when you come in.

EngineerEnergy button and DRS to turn 4.

EngineerAnd faster again to turn seven, then steady through sector two.

Pierre GASLYSmokes out of the bricks, front bricks.

EngineerOK, copy that.

EngineerOkay, let's go recharge on recharge on and let's do a double cool

Pierre GASLYYeah, I don't know, I checked the turn 4, the car doesn't turn at all.

EngineerOkay, we'll take a look.

EngineerCan I have a pre-start rev check before you switch off? So that's the mode three, recharge off, gear one.

EngineerSo there's about 8 tenths loss at turn 13 and there's a couple of tenths with the turn 4 pinch.

EngineerOkay, so we think our temperature's a little on the low side to start. We're thinking single cool, but very slow.

EngineerSo lost to Lewis was turn 10 entry mid and Elizabeth turn 12

George RUSSELLEntry felt a little bit loose, are you happy to go Entry 9 Katsu?

EngineerAnd wind seems to be very low.

EngineerYeah, it's the right-hand part of the mirror

EngineerOK, recharge on Esteban, I'm happy to do a single call and another push lap just based on timing here.

Esteban OCONYeah, we seem to have more front end everywhere, compared to yesterday

EngineerWe can go break three and push the last sector.

EngineerOkay, Stroll is six seconds. Four seconds behind him is Verstappen. Verstappen very likely high fuel.

EngineerDo you need a double cool? Are you happy with single?

Charles LECLERCYes, I do.

EngineerOkay, let me know if we want to adjust.

EngineerWill be one burnouts and target two reds, K2 until turn one.

EngineerYou

Nico HULKENBERGwant the launch here from the pit box?

EngineerYes, please. Let's start from the box. We'll add 0.55

EngineerAnd Nico, I need multifunction B3 to position 8. Multi B3, position 8.

Yuki TSUNODAI have a koala on this day everywhere.

EngineerIf the car ride is slow, you can overtake. You are ISO Sector 1, one tenth faster than Yuki Sector 2.

EngineerAnything we need to look at, Liam, or you know what's happened?

Liam LAWSONNo, no, I know what happened.

Engineerand Lando for the front under rotations in turn 13 we could try left hand toggle left hand toggle for Stappens on a time lap in turn one there are going to be lots of cars queuing I think

EngineerThe dash might not see either so you just have to watch out for flags still about five cars ahead of you to go

Yuki TSUNODAAnd in fact, I didn't feel much difference in terms of balance compared with this.

Franco COLAPINTOWe're

Engineergoing

Franco COLAPINTOto go to the mid 2.

Franco COLAPINTOOr something to help my rotation.

EngineerYeah, happy we did it with two, that's fine for us, so we'll step on two.

EngineerJust give me a gap to go into because I can't do anything at the moment. Alright, how about we do it now?

EngineerThis is this window of everybody on mixture run plans. Ocon in five.

EngineerOne click rearward brake balance for turn one.

EngineerFront temps on the lower side. We can go on when you're ready.

EngineerTry funk for turn 13

Yuki TSUNODADo I board this lap?

EngineerYeah. Charge on, charge on.

EngineerI guess you wanted me to do a start, right? I didn't say it was just to cool down the tyres, but if you're there we can do one.

EngineerCharge on and secondary FM position nine.

EngineerAnd we are still exceeding track limits into turn two.

Charles LECLERCStill, that's the only lap, right?

EngineerYeah, this lap.

EngineerI know, we've been telling three cases, I've been told.

EngineerI'm going to box this lap. I'm going to box this lap. You keep pushing to turn six.

Franco COLAPINTOI hit the floor quite hard, exit of three.

EngineerYeah, we saw the data. We'll have a look at it when you come back in.

Liam LAWSONYeah, I pinched

Engineerthe

Liam LAWSONoutside left in the last corner and then just couldn't turn. I have no idea why.

Alexander ALBONSame balance issues though, high speed is too neutral and low speed too much of a suit.

EngineerAnd Lambert's suggestion, remember early off, early on throttle turning 14.

EngineerIt

George RUSSELLappears to be quite a slow out lap.

EngineerDo you have a balance limitation in turn 12?

EngineerNo,

Valtteri BOTTASI'll just explain it later. There's an issue with the braking.

Lewis HAMILTONIs it APEX speed of 4 or is it 5 exit? Where's the time lost on the corners?

Engineer5, turn 5. We can have Norris at 7 seconds.

EngineerThere's nothing behind you, you've got Russell 1 back. Way too much understeer.

EngineerLance would you consider a flap adjust?

Lance STROLLYeah massive one

Charles LECLERCI'm not sure about the s1 into six four five six

EngineerCopy will review Hamilton next car pushing

EngineerOkay, there's plenty of time left, so you can push next or do two back offs, whatever you think it needs to get the tires back in the window.

George RUSSELLLet me know on green 6, happy to make the change, whatever you think

Pierre GASLYSoaking grip.

EngineerNo, no, I have no front grip, just check if the car is OK, I have... Everything looks good to us, but we'll give it a good look over so...

Sergio PEREZYeah, there's no potential on the front to attack the braking

Pierre GASLYNo, no, I think it's tricky if

EngineerI

Pierre GASLYhave a French air. I never felt that.

EngineerYeah, pressure's all looking good.

EngineerSo we'll take a look, that was coming in okay until sector 3.

Esteban OCONCopy. So now, yeah, I lost basically a front

Engineer-end 4-5-6.

EngineerSo the target for the start will be plus three on the rear.

Franco COLAPINTOWhat are they doing?
