17:11, RUS: Pit: and how are these tyres, George? OK, at the moment. 17:22, RUS: we do target minus 11 or way into the rain, so so we're going target minus 5 now, we're just going to keep extending that. 17:37, RUS: Pit: at the end, there you go, why have we bought the tickets so early? 18:09, RUS: uh. 18:12, RUS: Jake, PU, something feels weird, tumult, engine breaking, PU hot, I think PU's broken OK, we need to stop the car, stop the car Guys, sorry for that, I'm sorry.

Bahrain, 2026, Practice 1, 2 Oct 2026

12:43, RUS: This traffic's very cool. 13:28, RUS: Pit: We do look to be a bit of an outlier here with this drop -off.

Azerbaijan, 2026, Race, 26 Sep 2026

15:47, RUS: 5, level of the wall, right hand side, feel ok, copy, so pressures look good, didn't feel quite right I don't think, just a bit out of pressure. 16:30, RUS: I knew we could go through it Sam, thank you, thank you, I'll take you, I'm happy with that. 16:42, RUS: Pit: It's been a hard job. Great job this weekend, mate. Really good. Oh, that was a good pass last in. He was pushing. Made you work for your money. I lost, after that double yellow, I lost a boost. I had no power. I thought he was going to get us. 16:44, RUS: running order, so, fine, staying left, you're okay.

Azerbaijan, 2026, Qualifying, 25 Sep 2026

17:06, RUS: Pit: Nice job, nice work mate, that's the whole position Great job, that was a pretty decent lap That was a very good lap Very good lap, how much was it? Erm, just over 8 cents to the clerk Woah!

Azerbaijan, 2026, Practice 3, 25 Sep 2026

13:08, RUS: There's a branch, small branch at the end of the track, enters three. 13:13, RUS: Pit: Am I re -locking? I feel like I'm re -locking entry 4. Is it tailwind on entry of that corner? Yes, it is a tailwind. Small amount of rear under rotation.

Azerbaijan, 2026, Practice 2, 24 Sep 2026

16:45, RUS: Right now we're going straight to the backboard, so that's alright. Yeah, copy that, sir.

Azerbaijan, 2026, Practice 1, 24 Sep 2026

12:49, RUS: I don't mind a bit of punning here, I didn't sleep in the last corner then, cause it's a very mad up shift.

Spanish, 2026, Race, 13 Sep 2026

15:19, RUS: Kibler -Clarke isn't going to pick up the page, we would need to consider an undercut, and find something medium, think it will be road lost? Copy. 15:30, RUS: This is the end? Negative. 15:32, RUS: Why wouldn't you try and win? So it's target, target minus 10 on the plan A But I think Leclerc will make this to the end easy, with a one stop So, just keep the management up, do what you did on that half time. 16:03, RUS: Why do we care? I think I could have put Norwich on. 16:04, RUS: Pit: Yeah, we can discuss the strategy later. So Norris currently at 37 .1. Let's focus on that.

Spanish, 2026, Qualifying, 12 Sep 2026

16:13, RUS: Copy that. Head to the wall and I think we need a bump to save, then we should pox to take the car. Copy that. 16:13, RUS: I mean, realistically, would you actually have time to change anything? Because otherwise I'd go for another pod and signal. The only thing we'd change would be front wing and tyre set. No, front wing is fine and tyre set seems fine. It's more with the toes. 16:14, RUS: Pit: I know we wouldn't do anything for that in session.

Spanish, 2026, Practice 2, 11 Sep 2026

17:35, RUS: Turn it over, rotation, low speed. And we went with the center change.

Italian, 2026, Race, 6 Sep 2026

16:21, RUS: We're off batting D -Rays in a bit of strats. Keep going, this is good. Keep this strat, keep this strat. 16:27, RUS: Pit: KMU 25 .0 KMU 25 .0 KMU 25 .0. 16:34, RUS: I'm giving up at the moment. Currently, Kimi forecast to catch right at end of race. 16:43, RUS: Pit: So we can see the damage on the tyre and these vibrations picking up every lap. So let's take no risks. Let's just bring this back Bring it home. 16:49, RUS: Pit: But we'll just keep it clean, no risk here. 16:59, RUS: Pit: George, what a race, what a race, 1 -2 at the end, you were fighting with, with pools that weren't good enough anymore, but, fantastic. Yeah, great team result, yeah, freshly coming.

Italian, 2026, Qualifying, 5 Sep 2026

16:51, RUS: Pit: I'm really feeling it with the column compared to FB3, the front locking and instability in high speed. 17:02, RUS: Pit: That was all a bit messy, so just got hit by Gasly there at the end, so P2. 17:06, RUS: Alright, another RWY1 bud, braces to my front row, good place to start Thank you.

Italian, 2026, Practice 3, 5 Sep 2026

13:08, RUS: Yeah Then I was going on them.

Italian, 2026, Practice 2, 4 Sep 2026

17:01, RUS: Just keep an eye on the front suspension. I've got a bit of a weird vibration under braking.

Dutch, 2026, Race, 23 Aug 2026

15:34, RUS: Pit: Can't make this joke how cold these tyres are again. 15:52, RUS: Consider original money. Copy. 16:50, RUS: Just think about we might get a team in here. Yeah, um, give me guys a fight paper paper. 16:58, RUS: Pit: So Jordan, we'll invert cars this lap, you know, since turn one. 16:58, RUS: Is he fighting for the win? Or is he planning to coach Norris? 16:59, RUS: Audio only. 17:14, RUS: Pit: George, great, great, great Thank you I didn't think that was possible.

Dutch, 2026, Qualifying, 22 Aug 2026

16:48, RUS: Is it still looking to hit? Yeah, so we expect it to be within the last five minutes of the session.

Dutch, 2026, Sprint, 22 Aug 2026

12:34, RUS: Pit: Good job. Nice. Nice work today. Good work. What a mate. That would have been a very sketchy last lap if the rain came about earlier. Good job. Yeah, good job. Well done, George. Take the first box for the weekend. Yeah, thanks, sir.

Dutch, 2026, Sprint Qualifying, 21 Aug 2026

17:15, RUS: Pit: Nice one. Beautiful. Must be a bit lighter after that engagement ring.

Hungarian, 2026, Race, 26 Jul 2026

15:05, RUS: Pit: Well, it's 2 % shallow. It was a throttle pedal you backed up at a high RPM.

Hungarian, 2026, Qualifying, 25 Jul 2026

17:13, RUS: Pit: so stop stop stop stop stop stop stop.

Hungarian, 2026, Practice 3, 25 Jul 2026

12:26, RUS: Audio only.

Hungarian, 2026, Practice 2, 24 Jul 2026

17:07, RUS: Look at that dreadful display, the car is so out of balance.

Belgian, 2026, Practice 2, 17 Jul 2026

17:32, RUS: We're still too cold, sliding a lot, but not 1 .2 seconds cold.

British, 2026, Race, 5 Jul 2026

15:55, RUS: Pit: Let's blow punch a right rear. Move me or you do. 15:58, RUS: Oh my god. 16:32, RUS: Pardon for sticking in there, but that's really fine. Go on top of the straight line speed. So that was a very frustrating weekend otherwise Yeah, I think straight line was okay in the race.

British, 2026, Qualifying, 4 Jul 2026

16:12, RUS: Pit: Yeah, that was very weird. I've never looked there my whole career. 16:12, RUS: We think your front wing was set up the same, flat angle. Hey, Femi, have we set that before you left the garage?

Austrian, 2026, Race, 28 Jun 2026

15:14, RUS: Pit: So the stamp could trigger this early, he is very close to Lewis, every extra second we can get. 0:1315:22, RUS: I think I saw a starfish over here too, the one stopping at the bus stop. I see them. 0:0915:59, RUS: Though Kimi keeps extending, but that one's going to keep on extending and put us in the race. 0:0816:30, RUS: Pit: Good job, mate. Woo! That was two years ago. Yabba -dabba -doo! Yabba -dabba -doo. Well, well done, guys. I'm happy. Well done. Thank you so, so. Good team result. Well done. Well done, everybody. 0:1916:32, RUS: drink system failed, nice race for it to do so, I'm a little bit thirsty, great job well have a drink ready for your podium. 0:11

Austrian, 2026, Qualifying, 27 Jun 2026

16:12, RUS: Just a bit similar to the FB3 runs, four -wheel sliding. 0:1316:35, RUS: Pit: North, just drive. 0:0717:11, RUS: Lifted entry to that corner, lost a lot of time, but I lifted, big lift on the entry to that corner, I lost a good tenth and a bit. 0:1217:11, RUS: Nice job. Stay calmo, stay calmo. Just drive. Just drive. And enjoy. Just drive, the boss says. Nice work, well done. That was a really good lap. Oh, beautiful. Beautiful. It was hooked up like a beauty! 0:28

Austrian, 2026, Practice 3, 27 Jun 2026

12:59, RUS: really bad straight line braking on the front axle. 0:06

Austrian, 2026, Practice 1, 26 Jun 2026

13:34, RUS: Yeah, this is from another deputy person, about way to my place last week. Okay, I'll post it. 0:10

Barcelona, 2026, Race, 14 Jun 2026

15:19, RUS: Pit: Is that Lewis in? He's probably going for a three. 0:0815:22, RUS: Pit: If I was managing in that first stint, you could have given me the heads up, but you've exposed me to Kimmy now. I don't think it's going to be long for everyone. If I needed to update you on the plan, that would be really, really quick. Still on plan here, Jordan. Nothing to worry about here. 0:1615:43, RUS: Pit: To update, Lewis will be on a 3. We are still racing at Norris so we need to keep these lap times going. 0:1015:58, RUS: Pit: and we are forecast to be battling with Lewis end of race on that three stop. 0:0716:03, RUS: Pit: 24 laps remaining, that's the race up ahead of you, got 1 .3 behind. 0:1016:15, RUS: Pit: I want to pick up the pace here, George. 0:0416:40, RUS: Pit: Okay, set. 8 -2. Tough race. Sorry if you can't hear me. Yeah, I agree. Tough race for the team, mate. 0:10
