Abu Dhabi, 2018, Race, 25 Nov 2018

17:27, HAR: I touched the wall but I don't think I have damage. Check the car. Yeah, getting really weird snaps with the car. Keep checking the data please. Confirmed, all OK with the car on our side. OK, doesn't feel right. 0:16.417:42, HAR: Pit: Keep looking after the short shift, or we will have to turn down the P .U. We cannot lose any more time behind Williams, multi -harvest 6 when you can. Yeah mate, I got no traction. 0:12.218:07, HAR: Yeah, tyres are starting to recover now, getting quicker. Copy that, good job, we are catching the cars in front, keep going. 0:7.118:49, HAR: Pit: Pay attention with the wind very strong gust of wind. 0:6.419:10, HAR: Anyway, last race guys. Thank you very much for the hug. Yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed it to you. 0:7.4

Abu Dhabi, 2018, Practice 3, 24 Nov 2018

14:02, HAR: Pit: Just for your reference, the tyres have come out of the blank, it's very hot on the rear. Yeah, it's normal, no problem, we didn't do all the procedures, no problem. 0:10.314:27, HAR: OK, I think I have D -rating on the braking, so I'm just going to heat up the rest. That's OK, that's OK, we are still on the low side. Yeah, but I can't get 10 % of the front. Copy that. 0:11.314:50, HAR: Pit: Okay, so I attempt for better this time. Copy that. 0:5.7

Abu Dhabi, 2018, Practice 2, 23 Nov 2018

17:22, HAR: Very easy to lock the front brakes, so we need to just increase the migration on the toggle. Comrade, we are a bit too aggressive with the steering input this run as well. Yeah, copy. 0:13.517:39, HAR: Got some big mistakes unfortunately, turned 8 and 11 again. Yeah, it was a really poor lap. 0:9.317:46, HAR: Pit: Yeah, still not perfect, but a good improvement. Yeah, much better in turn 8. Turn 1 was a bit tricky on this flop. Yeah, look, the front's a bit cold. Look, the front's lost a tenth and a half. 0:12.718:06, HAR: Pit: There is no more we can do with the diff for the mid -corner. We can consider another step again on engine braking. I've already done it. Copy. 0:8.518:31, HAR: Pit: Actually, I was going to improve my fastest time, there was plenty of lifeline for the tyres. It's got held up in the low sector. 0:8.4

Abu Dhabi, 2018, Practice 1, 23 Nov 2018

13:24, HAR: Yeah, a lot of traffic last sector. 0:3.513:40, HAR: Pit: How much time do I have in the car? If I have time to jump down and go for a pee, I'll take it. We have a bit more than 10 minutes, so get ready, quick feedback, and then you jump out. OK. 0:13.5

Brazilian, 2018, Race, 11 Nov 2018

15:19, HAR: Please check for puncture, puncture. All OK so far, all OK so far. OK, I understand entry is very big. Copy that, all OK on data, copy that, we keep checking. 0:11.116:30, HAR: Pit: OK, I'm getting pretty close to Gatsby guys, I'm going to get head on for... OK, I'm looking at it, stand by. If I don't get by, I'll get past my signs. 0:10.916:32, HAR: Pit: Driver Swap, Driver Swap Yep, he did do it What's going on guys? Turn 4, Driver Swap, Turn 4. 0:11.416:37, HAR: Mate, is he going to let me by or what the f*** is going on? Mate, he's holding me up so much. Use anti -deploy middle sector. Use anti -deploy middle sector. Get close to him. Mate, I'm right up his f***ing a**. 0:13.516:39, HAR: So what's happening guys, I'm not attacking him because you say he's letting me fly And then he f***ing doesn't do it Mate, I'm so close to him guys, come on! We are asking for turn 4 again, we are asking for driver swap turn 4. 0:14.416:56, HAR: Pit: Sorry about the language on the radio, but the thing is... That's ok, leave it behind you, don't worry, leave it behind you, no worries. Otherwise, if you said we could race, I would have attacked, but anyway... Turn the car off, that's ok, leave it behind you. Copy. 0:14.9

Brazilian, 2018, Qualifying, 10 Nov 2018

15:15, HAR: Yeah, big front lock, awesome bit of time. 0:3.515:22, HAR: Pit: We are P17, Gasly is P12 Yeah, that's annoying Big flat locking on the first lap unfortunately Gap to P15 is 20 milliseconds. 0:12.9

Brazilian, 2018, Practice 3, 10 Nov 2018

12:30, HAR: Yeah, I made a bit of a mess, middle sector, lost a lot of traction. Yeah, I massively overheated the rears, so, just need to calm down the rear mid to exit. I lost a lot of time on the second lap because of it. 0:13.4

Brazilian, 2018, Practice 2, 9 Nov 2018

15:17, HAR: Pit: Focus on the front tires, weaving and braking. 0:5.315:28, HAR: Pit: I was three tenths up, but I clicked the wrong button. I put recharge early. 0:7.315:31, HAR: Can we disconnect the drinks tube as well? It keeps leaking into my mouth, it's plainly ***. 0:6.2

Brazilian, 2018, Practice 1, 9 Nov 2018

11:59, HAR: Yeah, I jammed it out to the middle of the high speed. Yeah, he was at the middle of the high speed corner. 0:07

Mexican, 2018, Race, 28 Oct 2018

11:38, HAR: Audio only. 13:19, HAR: I got a big platform guys. I'm gonna have to box. 0:5.913:58, HAR: Pit: Green, green, green. Press overtake before turn 12. Green, green, green. 0:4.314:05, HAR: Pit: Come on Brendan, let's catch him! 0:03

Mexican, 2018, Qualifying, 27 Oct 2018

13:13, HAR: Pit: Yeah, it's not going to work mate. You should send me out at a better position. 0:4.513:17, HAR: Can you let me by so I have a bit of protection from behind? Negative, negative, we do our lap. Position is good, there is nobody behind, car behind is 10 seconds. Focus on your lap Brandon, we are in a good position. 0:14.613:22, HAR: JLP is backing me up guys, what the f*** There is traffic in front of him Brendan, it's the same for everyone. 0:7.613:41, HAR: Yeah, I messed it up, sorry guys. 0:3.9

Mexican, 2018, Practice 3, 27 Oct 2018

10:52, HAR: Pit: Brendan, you can come in for a garage pit stop and do push -cool -push. Do you want to go again on new tyres, or do you want one more push on this set? Yeah, let's do new tyres, I think we'll get a better feeling for the balance. Copy, quick in -lap, push in the in -lap, box -box. 0:14.2

Mexican, 2018, Practice 1, 26 Oct 2018

10:26, HAR: Check the car, I'm pulling on the brake into turn 12, and then a lot of front locking last corner, something feels strange. The brakes are cold, we'll look at it, but the brakes are cold. 0:13.810:40, HAR: Brutal traffic. The Williams right in the middle of the road. Keep pushing, we have no more time. Yeah, he almost ran me off the road, mate. Can you send a message about the Williams, mate? That was a joke. 0:14.511:02, HAR: OK, he's just blocked me, almost taken me off the track. F***ing bunch of avatars. Yeah, he's a w****. Yeah, copy, I'll call down. Yeah, the stupid Nazi's an idiot. Copy that. 0:14.911:17, HAR: Pit: The rear lock is a bit too high now in the last sector, consider offset 2 .0 for the next lap. Yeah, come for that, good idea. 0:8.711:21, HAR: Yep, Tyre is still like bubblegum. 0:3.811:23, HAR: Pit: Yeah, the tyres are falling to pieces guys. 0:3.911:29, HAR: Pit: Pushing the pit entry? Yeah mate, but these tyres are not pushing. 0:5.1

United States, 2018, Race, 21 Oct 2018

14:10, HAR: Okay, getting pretty close to the car in front, watch what's going to happen guys. It will happen, keep your head down, it will happen, keep your head down. 0:9.3

United States, 2018, Qualifying, 20 Oct 2018

16:04, HAR: Pit: Your lap time 36 .9, Gasly 36 .4. 0:5.8

United States, 2018, Practice 3, 20 Oct 2018

13:10, HAR: Pit: OK, something just hit my head, so let me check the car. Box, box, through the pit lane for practice start. OK, have a good look at the halo and the front of the car. Yes, the guys are ready, we will look at the car. 0:17.113:43, HAR: Pit: Try to warm up the surface in the last sector if you can, front tyres are too cold. 0:7.513:59, HAR: Pit: Ciao John, what happened? Yep, I sped the car Copy that, keep me posted on the car, we'll try to go for another one I have a feeling I'll hit big flat spots, but we can try We are checking. 0:14.9

United States, 2018, Practice 2, 19 Oct 2018

14:49, HAR: Pit: Update on track conditions, worst part this morning was last sector, turn 14 -15 How is this so far? Yeah, sector's okay at the moment, obviously very wet but not standing water Copy that, keep us posted. 0:1514:51, HAR: Pit: Consider one step down engine braking for the last sector. 0:0614:54, HAR: OK, yeah traction is still one of the main issues, I would say I understand mid -corner is not so bad, but mid -corner traction is the bigger problem, actually I had quite a bit of over -rotation mid -corner in the last sector, I think the rear tyres are getting very hot. Confirmed, confirmed. 0:20.614:59, HAR: But yeah, I would still say main limitation is from the rack, so I'll need to wax it. I understand the corner is definitely there, but I've had to come down on the tools to stabilise the rail. 0:15.615:03, HAR: Pit: Charge on, if you want to cool down, how far are we from Inter? Yeah we can maybe look at it now, get the cross over. 0:10.815:12, HAR: Pit: Happy, it's ready for Inter, what do you think about the crossover? I mean there's still a lot of water on track, but yeah I think we should give it a go. Copy that. The Inter is not going to last very long, so I hope it makes sense to wait a bit. We don't have much time left on the clock, we are 18 minutes to check out flag. OK, copy that. 0:24.8

Japanese, 2018, Race, 7 Oct 2018

13:30, HAR: Pit: One second. Sorry, my helmet's not properly done. Sorry, guys. 0:6.813:30, HAR: Pit: OK, quite a big queue, just let me know about temperatures. Copy that, we should be OK. 0:5.613:30, HAR: Pit: Remember, if we have a car behind us, we can't take more than 5 seconds for the start. If you have no cars behind, you're ok to wait a bit. 0:0814:26, HAR: Pit: Tyres, temperature is good for the restart. Tyres are good for the restart. We think this should be the last lap. I keep you posted. Copy. 0:10.714:26, HAR: Pit: safety car in this lap safety car in this lap. 0:4.515:35, HAR: Hey, I'm so much quicker, but I can't get by. 0:04

Japanese, 2018, Qualifying, 6 Oct 2018

15:56, HAR: Pit: We need a high speed weaving high speed weaving and we need to synchronize all the gears position is good. 0:6.9

Japanese, 2018, Practice 3, 6 Oct 2018

12:56, HAR: I went up a couple of times, unfortunately. Anything to do with the balance? No, I barely went related. 0:9.6

Japanese, 2018, Practice 2, 5 Oct 2018

14:35, HAR: Pit: I let you deal with Vettel, you can keep the position or let him buy, no issues. 0:7.214:39, HAR: Pit: Main limitation, Sector 1, Brandon? Yes, to build an entry, not as good, more than from the rear on entries. 0:10.914:43, HAR: Yeah, lots of much movement from the rail and entries, especially at medium -high speed which then goes to a bit corner washout But the entry balance, the rail is moving around a lot Copy that, we can see we try to push the entries very hard. Maybe we lost a bit too much trying to push the entries too hard Yeah, copy. 0:22.3

Japanese, 2018, Practice 1, 5 Oct 2018

10:23, HAR: Pit: Check the engine, I had a little bit of loss of power before turn 1. It was a clip, going to recharge, we'll have a look. Copy. It was before I had the recharge. OK, back to constant speed 1, on torque 1. Yep, all good now. 0:18.610:25, HAR: Pit: Yeah, the tyres were a lot too hot starting the lap, so I needed a slow cool down. Copy that. Yeah, so I had some instability at the entry at the high speeds, going to an understeer mid -corner, but the entries were quite loose. 0:16.611:06, HAR: Pit: What's the main limitation, Brennan? Yes, stability started to get better, watch out McLaren, I understand it was there. I think that this entry, sorry, this engine brake up was better for the mid -corner. But I started losing the tyres too much. Think about roll stiffness, box -box, pit entry test and box. Copy. 0:27.411:18, HAR: Pit: We need a bit of weaving, we need a bit of weaving, high speed weaving. 0:7.1

Russian, 2018, Race, 30 Sep 2018

14:19, HAR: Red Line, brake pedal feels low Torque 1, Torque 1, hold the brakes, we are checking, hold the brakes for the pit stop, Torque 1. 0:8.914:22, HAR: Pit: Problem is still there. Please confirm problem is still there. Box, box. Very much, very much. The problem happened before the pit stop. Box, box. Box, box. Confirm from data. Box, stop in front of the garage. On stop. 0:15

Russian, 2018, Qualifying, 29 Sep 2018

15:02, HAR: Pit: Remember, energy in the front tires and weaving on the back straight. 0:4.515:20, HAR: Pit: Ok, have my patience Which axle please Brendan, can you confirm which axle? Right front through turn 3, right front through turn 3 Keep us posted please. 0:11.315:23, HAR: Yeah, I had the yellow and I had a traffic now. It's all over. That was annoying. 0:7.6

Russian, 2018, Practice 3, 29 Sep 2018

12:40, HAR: Yeah, I went straight, turn on. Understood. 0:4.812:59, HAR: Yeah, that's the frame. 0:3.3

Russian, 2018, Practice 2, 28 Sep 2018

15:41, HAR: Pit: We are still losing too much in the middle sector, we are still losing too much in the middle sector. Yeah, copy. Can't carry the same speed as the other car. Main difference is braking, we are braking much earlier than the other car. 0:13.1

Russian, 2018, Practice 1, 28 Sep 2018

11:25, HAR: Four upshifts, four upshifts. We are still checking for the upshift, keep the head down, we are still checking. Yeah, a lot of fast oscillations. 0:10.711:53, HAR: Pit: I went off, re -charge Ok understood, we will have only two more Tires went ready Big snaps of Möbius there from mid to exit Front tires weren't really ready Yeah, we need to work more on the front tires if we can. 0:14.2
