Saudi Arabian Grand Prix2024 · Practice 2 team radio

Alexander ALBONFeels quite sharp

EngineerYeah, everyone's going slow

Carlos SAINZcorner approaching

EngineerJust pressing the brakes at low brake pressure now in the pit lane. I had the same feeling as Singapore 2022 qualifying.

EngineerBetter warp in the desk, potentially.

George RUSSELLSteering feels lighter compared to P1.

Nico HULKENBERGHard already, level one, but pretty aggressive snaps there.

EngineerYou know, qualifying this fall, it'll be worse to go out so early like that than it is just to go out later.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, so these medium street corners like the front like I'm understeering a bit

Lando NORRISYeah, just bottoming 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, that area.

EngineerAnd our other car had similar issues They were more aggressive than we were

Max VERSTAPPENYou need to tell me a bit more accurate, because I can't see anything out of the bits, you know.

Engineereverything feels okay but the decent hit understood we'll box this lap and check the car over box this lap

Pierre GASLYIt's difficult to keep the car's active on, like, with the ISP down bouncing a lot.

EngineerEngine 13, engine 1-3, position 10, position 10.

Carlos SAINZYeah, what Hamilton did there is super dangerous, like he was in the middle of... I couldn't get out of the way. I nearly crashed because of him.

EngineerUnderstood.

EngineerThe

George RUSSELLcar is so unstable at high speed, so so unstable at high speed.

EngineerJust some feedback, it was a messy run, probably for a lot of guys. You're currently P11, I think there were some good laps, let's build up on that.

EngineerThe

George RUSSELLcar is so unstable at high speed. So, so unstable at high speed.

EngineerOk, let's go for a big cool down and we try again.

Max VERSTAPPENNow it's better just the last one. I I really don't know. I just don't have the grip in the car

EngineerOkay, main limitation

Max VERSTAPPENJust can't carry the speed around the apex. The front I don't want to wash out or it's just like Understood

Engineermain limitation across the lap. I mean, you've got Russell at three seconds on a push

Oscar PIASTRIfrom the front. I just had a bit of a vibration when I was turning through

Engineerturn 23.

Oscar PIASTRIFeels like it's coming from the front. I don't know if it's just the front tyre trying to hang on or what.

ZHOU GuanyuYeah, copy. Massive snap. Turn one. That's five.

Engineerand we'll focus on recharge we've seen what happened there we should be good for scenario seven sock six for the next lap

Nico HULKENBERGYour radio, there is huge background noise with cars coming by this train and your radio.

Lance STROLLJust trying to key the radio button a bit earlier because I keep hearing the end

Engineerof

Lance STROLLyour sentences.

Logan SARGEANTI have so much understeer through 9-10. Understood. That

Engineerwas some dirty air again. Watch out, that one's a 4.

EngineerSlow down for your rear. You have a good gap behind. Leclerc gap of 23 seconds. Use that.

ZHOU GuanyuMissed

Engineerthe

ZHOU Guanyubest sector one, but last sector was a lot coming together.

EngineerF***,

George RUSSELLwhat's

Engineerthe

George RUSSELLmatter?

EngineerGive me one more lap like that because I had traffic. Fiat Street, three seconds. Watch for him.

Esteban OCONYeah, the car was all over the place because of the traffic. I think yeah, I lose on a tree and understand it

EngineerUnbelievable, this

Carlos SAINZguy

EngineerLooking at maybe 15 time-lapse here.

Logan SARGEANTFront's a bit strong, but we can start like that.

Yuki TSUNODAThere's

Engineera

Yuki TSUNODAbit of traffic. It's sort of a

EngineerYou could try that funk three.

Alexander ALBONIt's time for Chuck to steer the high speeder.

Sergio PEREZYeah, we're going to do it on that day.

EngineerSo you're using the handbrake quite a bit, also the previous lap. You can replicate that with V-belt too.

EngineerYou close this lap and then next one we stop doing the extra saving no more extra saving on front right you can push on it

EngineerMight be spark one

Carlos SAINZfor no longer enjoy

Engineerthree seconds behind

EngineerTry N3 plus 1 for turn 1. Try N3 plus 1 for turn 1.

EngineerPereth 34.4 Verstappen also with medium 33.9

Engineeraverage 34 so alonso average 34.6 first five laps

EngineerKev, could we have multi B-12 position 1 when possible?

EngineerCopy that, we're looking out.

Esteban OCONAnd check load, the car is full point consistent.

Pierre GASLYStart losing quite a lot of overall grip

EngineerOkay, we have no issues so far. We're going to keep looking five time-lapse.

EngineerOkay, Pierre, we'd like to go PU4, position 3.

EngineerThey

George RUSSELLwere really weak, but I don't

Engineerknow.

EngineerMulti-B7, Diff, Position 8. One more step.

EngineerI'm

Pierre GASLYstruggling with the overall grip.

EngineerOkay, copy that.

EngineerLance we need to stay off the painted line on pit entry stay off the painted area by pit entry

EngineerOscar, we will take the chequered flag, but would like to test Turn 1 and 2, two temps to find there, later braking.

Logan SARGEANTYeah, I was really struggling with the rear

EngineerJoe, quick feedback on the previous start, you dropped plus 6 and also you dropped the throttle there.

EngineerPurple C7, position 1, unlimited. We are box this lap, pit stop practice, steering wheel change.

EngineerAnd reminder, you'll remove the steering wheel and pass high and to the right, high and to the right. Box now.
