Spanish Grand Prix 2024: Practice 2 team radio

Every message, in the order it happened

1. Lance STROLLAston Martin17:00:17

   Engineer: So just remember to build a decent gap before the safety car line as well.

2. Daniel RICCIARDORB17:01:40

   Engineer: Ok, track will be clear, I will keep you posted on the cars coming.

3. Sergio PEREZRed Bull17:02:11

   Engineer: I'll build a bit of a gap so you can chase gear sync to turn 10.

4. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin17:02:59

   Engineer: You're good, Brighton. Brighton's very good.

5. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber17:07:43

   Valtteri BOTTAS: Ah, good luck there in the end. Yeah, I saw that.

6. Esteban OCONAlpine17:08:04

   Engineer: How was the balance, please?

   Esteban OCON: Yeah, it wasn't great. The bouncing was similar

   Engineer: The

   Esteban OCON: group in turn one was a bit worse slightly Top some understand to one and the last corner Through 13 the bouncing wasn't great.

   Engineer: Okay, I understood

7. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:10:05

   Engineer: Ok, how's the balance please, Max?

   Max VERSTAPPEN: The car is a bit loose in the exits

   Engineer: Still

   Max VERSTAPPEN: this weird understeer mid-corner

   Engineer: This

   Max VERSTAPPEN: car doesn't bite

   Engineer: Understood

8. Daniel RICCIARDORB17:13:09

   Daniel RICCIARDO: with where the tires are do we think offset zero is a bit better?

   Engineer: I think with offset zero.

9. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:13:23

   Engineer: Okay, we'll box this lap, please, Max. Max, you're on the side, you're out of the way.

10. Alexander ALBONWilliams17:13:31

    Engineer: Okay, go switch to go in. So once the Russell pit exits, can we do a quick in-lap, please?

11. Yuki TSUNODARB17:15:50

    Engineer: Hey, this is in lap, you can keep up the pace, please. Nobody pushing behind

    Yuki TSUNODA: There was no good lap, but

    Engineer: Yeah,

    Yuki TSUNODA: I felt also must have understood 10-3 somehow

    Engineer: Yeah, we can see it

12. Yuki TSUNODARB17:18:05

    Yuki TSUNODA: I want to increase the front flap a little bit, like one step, but because of the insta-bleach and everything, I don't think I have confidence to go forward and also traction.

    Engineer: Understood.

13. Logan SARGEANTWilliams17:18:44

    Engineer: Okay Logan, good job on the warm-up before, target minus 10, we copy what we've done before.

14. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren17:20:54

    Engineer: Oscar, we've boxed this lap, boxed this lap. We've got a data issue, so we'll box this lap back in the garage.

    Oscar PIASTRI: Copy, box.

15. Logan SARGEANTWilliams17:23:13

    Logan SARGEANT: Do you need any flap adjust? Flap is good.

    Engineer: Ok, copy.

16. Alexander ALBONWilliams17:24:44

    Engineer: Go switch to go cool, target double cool, so it's double cool plus 10 target please so Logan just leave the pit lane ahead of you now.

    Alexander ALBON: Massive massive understeer.

    Engineer: Copy that, do you want to flap adjust?

    Alexander ALBON: It's um it's on the low speed not the high speed.

17. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber17:28:22

    ZHOU Guanyu: Fully blocked me, man. What the f**k? Can you tell me who was the driver of the racing booth?

    Engineer: It was Sunoda. No

    ZHOU Guanyu: surprise.

18. George RUSSELLMercedes17:32:37

    Engineer: Lost a lot of time with the traffic intent. Yeah AFM, we saw that.

19. Esteban OCONAlpine17:33:45

    Esteban OCON: It doesn't recharge at the moment.

    Engineer: Yeah, understood.

20. Pierre GASLYAlpine17:34:55

    Engineer: And for turn 5, we could suggest trying the back left instead of the back right.

    Pierre GASLY: Back left is stabilizing.

    Engineer: Does go to the deep maps.

    Pierre GASLY: Yeah, but is it minus 6 or minus 5? It's minus 5. Yeah, so apex is going to be the same.

21. Carlos SAINZFerrari17:36:04

    Engineer: We have Lando on an outlap behind, unused soft, perhaps on my fuel, but I don't know, just don't let him by.

22. Esteban OCONAlpine17:39:15

    Engineer: And keep our pace up on the way to help recharge the battery and it'll be aero P3 after turn 9

    Esteban OCON: Yeah, copy, the battery was fine, I just needed to recharge it earlier

    Engineer: Yep, absolutely, don't disagree

23. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:40:06

    Engineer: So Max heads up looking at 11 time-lapse on the medium and we can pit stop for four further laps at the end for the soft. 11 and 4.

24. Sergio PEREZRed Bull17:40:50

    Engineer: Okay, so box into biscuit and switch off.

25. Carlos SAINZFerrari17:41:54

    Engineer: All clear in front and drink system test drink system test

26. Logan SARGEANTWilliams17:42:38

    Engineer: Ok Logan, the flap didn't go in, so we have the same flap as before, let me know about the balance, we can change it, and let me know how it is the car now.

    Logan SARGEANT: I'm a bit on the understeer side.

    Engineer: Ok copy, we're gonna do it.

    Logan SARGEANT: Let's see how it evolves.

    Engineer: Ok copy, we have time for a stop later, let's see where we are.

27. Alexander ALBONWilliams17:44:29

    Engineer: That'll be 13 time-lapse, 13 time-lapse and target lap time 21.0.

28. Alexander ALBONWilliams17:45:24

    Engineer: There's a lot of torque holes in fourth gear. Copy, we're having a look.

29. George RUSSELLMercedes17:48:30

    George RUSSELL: deceleration from the brakes feel very poor even when I was doing the burnouts

    Engineer: yeah understood yeah

    George RUSSELL: still poor

30. Esteban OCONAlpine17:49:19

    Esteban OCON: Give me base info.

    Engineer: Understood.

31. Esteban OCONAlpine17:49:32

    Engineer: Pierre on the soft tyre, 1 minute 20.7, correction on the medium.

32. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes17:50:10

    Engineer: George, 19.8

    Lewis HAMILTON: Yeah, these left eyes aren't feeling good

33. Daniel RICCIARDORB17:51:15

    Engineer: QN38, one step up, update on balance on tyres please.

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, a bit more front, limitation, especially if I push more in the high speed.

34. Charles LECLERCFerrari17:52:34

    Charles LECLERC: What's the best gap I

    Engineer: would stay where you are there's no good gap Carlos should should maybe come in this lap. So that should free up No, it's next lap. So They're staying out

35. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin17:54:03

    Engineer: HPP bun off, HPP bun off, four more laps, four more laps. Can you try a lap where you don't use the exit of turn 12 kerb, stay off the exit kerb of turn 12. Copy, why? We just want to check for the bouncing for now, we just want to check for the bouncing effect into turn 13.

36. Lando NORRISMcLaren17:55:42

    Lando NORRIS: I hit the floor pretty hard.

    Engineer: Okay, understood.

37. Yuki TSUNODARB17:56:19

    Yuki TSUNODA: Front under rotation sucks

38. Alexander ALBONWilliams17:56:26

    Engineer: So Alex, compared to our competitors, Sector 3 is our weakest sector. Do you think you can push less in Sector 1 and 2? Will that help you in Sector 3? I

    Alexander ALBON: feel like I'm already doing it, but I can try more.

39. Logan SARGEANTWilliams17:57:21

    Engineer: Okay, Logan, good job, three laps to go, lap time target 21.5, you're okay with tires, good job, turn four, lateral, we can save a bit more if needed.

40. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes17:58:01

    Engineer: Two laps remaining. Just think about traction. Exit turn 5, exit turn 7, 8.

41. George RUSSELLMercedes18:00:17

    George RUSSELL: Big lock up that front left

    Engineer: Yeah, I bet we saw it

    George RUSSELL: I'm gonna just pull the tires down now and get ready for the start

42. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes18:01:54

    Lewis HAMILTON: that's to talk about with the balance for that run?

    Engineer: Yeah, sure thing. Looks like you're adapting quite well then.

43. Charles LECLERCFerrari18:03:09

    Engineer: So we can stay in mode race because we have no burnouts no bite point, okay Right side right side confirm right hand side and target two reds and k2 on until turn one
