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. 0:13.315:22, 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. 0:7.616:30, 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. 0:18.516:32, 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. 0:11.2

Austrian, 2026, Qualifying, 27 Jun 2026

16:12, RUS: Just a bit similar to the FB3 runs, four -wheel sliding. 0:13.416:35, RUS: Pit: North, just drive. 0:6.617:11, 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. 0:12.317:11, 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! 0:27.6

Austrian, 2026, Practice 3, 27 Jun 2026

12:59, RUS: really bad straight line braking on the front axle. 0:6.1

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. 0:9.8

Barcelona, 2026, Race, 14 Jun 2026

15:19, RUS: Pit: Is that Lewis in? He's probably going for a three. 0:7.515:22, 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. 0:15.515:43, 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. 0:9.815:58, RUS: Pit: and we are forecast to be battling with Lewis end of race on that three stop. 0:6.716:03, RUS: Pit: 24 laps remaining, that's the race up ahead of you, got 1 .3 behind. 0:9.616:15, RUS: Pit: I want to pick up the pace here, George. 0:4.216:40, RUS: Pit: Okay, set. 8 -2. Tough race. Sorry if you can't hear me. Yeah, I agree. Tough race for the team, mate. 0:9.6

Monaco, 2026, Race, 7 Jun 2026

15:23, RUS: How do I hide the front left grain and he won't be out for much longer I don't think. Just make sure you've got good tyres when he does get out of the way. 0:10.215:26, RUS: Pit: And George, how much pace would you have in clear air? At least one second, I think. 0:8.815:38, RUS: That's a lot in advance it they can't keep it on the truck. They need to get the dismount copy It is our break itself. We don't know tires. 0:12.416:29, RUS: And have I served my penalty or not? I spent about 10 seconds in the pit lane. Not listening to Hajar. Watch, let's talk about it after. Yeah, I just need to know. If I'm in a 5 second penalty and I'm still behind Hajar on hard times... George, I'll give you the messages as the messages come through, okay? Yeah, alright, thanks. 0:20.516:57, RUS: And Josh, thank you, Alex. Way more than thanks, Alex. Can't be. 0:08

Monaco, 2026, Qualifying, 6 Jun 2026

16:41, RUS: If you think we need a drop flap, if you're seeing something with surface imbalance, then you shout. We just think we need to be sliding the front some more and overheating the rears less. 0:15.3

Monaco, 2026, Practice 3, 6 Jun 2026

13:16, RUS: Oh. 0:6.4

Canadian, 2026, Race, 23 May 2026

16:07, RUS: I don't know why the ride has felt quite a bit worse today than yesterday. 0:10.116:42, RUS: Pit: Hemi will give you the position. Convenient just before the freeze. I think that was just when it was given to him. So head down. It's your throttle up to go. 0:11.9

Canadian, 2026, Qualifying, 23 May 2026

16:52, RUS: Nothing on the rear. 0:4.717:01, RUS: Pit: Nice work, nice work. Yes! Well done mate. Keep me posted, is that good enough? That is good enough. Well done. We made that a bit tricky. 0:18.917:02, RUS: It's the most exhilarating feeling in the world when it comes last -minute out of nowhere. Good job. 0:9.6

Canadian, 2026, Sprint, 23 May 2026

11:22, RUS: Audio only. 12:24, RUS: That's how you do it. It's just a bit of growth. 0:6.512:33, RUS: Pit: Nice work, babe. Good job. That was quick there. Yeah, good job. 0:8.1

Australian, 2026, Practice 3, 7 Mar 2026

12:42, RUS: Audio only.

Abu Dhabi, 2025, Race, 7 Dec 2025

16:24, RUS: sometimes sunset sun's about bright it'll be just after 5 30. 0:10.717:29, RUS: First not moving and then the braking, I don't know what it is, but it's really as I brake it moves. 0:8.3

Abu Dhabi, 2025, Qualifying, 6 Dec 2025

18:56, RUS: Try and get me behind the stuff and on his in -lap he'll probably give me a toe. 0:07

Abu Dhabi, 2025, Practice 3, 6 Dec 2025

14:25, RUS: Audio only. 15:04, RUS: Pit: I was just opening the radio about a setup that just saw the crash. 0:9.7

Abu Dhabi, 2025, Practice 2, 5 Dec 2025

17:20, RUS: The car is simply feeling much more together, probably the majority from the wind shift. 0:10

Abu Dhabi, 2025, Practice 1, 5 Dec 2025

13:51, RUS: Pit: So Owasa at three seconds. I think that is O -Ward, not O -Wasa. Sorry, O -Ward, yeah. Easy mistake. 0:11.7

Qatar, 2025, Qualifying, 29 Nov 2025

21:25, RUS: I know what's going on with the steering, it's feeling dodge, heavier in left than right. 0:9.521:37, RUS: Prep to clear visor for Q3, it's really dusty out here Copy that. 0:09

Qatar, 2025, Sprint Qualifying, 28 Nov 2025

21:24, RUS: Ah, you b****! Ok, nice work mate. So, P2, only 32 milliseconds to Piastri. Good lap, good job. Yeah, that was a b**** challenge. The meat in a McLaren sandwich. Good lap, I was happy with that, nevertheless. 0:24

Las Vegas, 2025, Race, 22 Nov 2025

20:26, RUS: Stair in. Stair in, same again. Copy. 0:11.420:27, RUS: Audio only. 20:29, RUS: Yes. 0:0.320:30, RUS: Pit: Affirm point three minus point two point three. 0:0420:30, RUS: Pit: Peace. 0:0.620:30, RUS: Pit: It's now cleared. 0:2.120:31, RUS: Audio only. 20:57, RUS: Well, I can't say that I'm an oriflame quake. I do like having to defend from them. I don't know if they can keep it. I wish they could. 0:10.921:27, RUS: Pit: Yeah, George, congratulations to the podium. Really, really good. I agree with you. Probably those two laps with Verstappen, that's what did the damage. But a podium is a podium. Exactly. Didn't change the result. Then we had to try. 0:17.2

São Paulo, 2025, Race, 9 Nov 2025

13:24, RUS: brain to intensify very little. 0:11.515:18, RUS: No, we're now on break, we look hot again. AFIRM, they're right on our limit here George. You've got the data mate, you tell me when they're on the limit. I don't want to be bringing it up. 0:13.2

São Paulo, 2025, Qualifying, 8 Nov 2025

15:38, RUS: Pit: You've got no grip. We're missing something here. Don't know what. 0:1415:59, RUS: I wonder for this time Then I was going up. 0:7.3

Mexico City, 2025, Race, 26 Oct 2025

14:05, RUS: The saffron just cut the corner, brake late and went across the grass, so at least the penalty will get the position back. 0:0914:50, RUS: I've got more pace here. Okay, well you're free to overtake. 0:7.614:52, RUS: Pit: OK, George, so let's manage these front brakes for a lap or two. We've got a Ferrari and a Haas ahead. We can fight for the podium here. I know. I do need brakes at the end of the race, though. 0:12.214:54, RUS: I've got a f***ing McLaren up my a**, do you want me to let him pass? No thank you. Ah, just checking. 0:10.214:55, RUS: I'm happy to give the position back to Kim if I can't overtake them, but we're just compromising both our races here. I want much more pace here guys. 0:12.114:58, RUS: Pit: So rear surface temperatures are sky -high. Good, let's get these under control. Marcus, I've got a car in my . Okay? A car much quicker than ours. I'm trying to hold position. I've got much more pace than Kimi here, and we can fight for a podium. I'm happy to give the position back if I don't achieve it, but my tyres are just getting sacked here. Understood. But we do need to get these tyres to the end of the race. 0:31.514:59, RUS: Oh, great. 0:5.9

Mexico City, 2025, Practice 3, 25 Oct 2025

11:57, RUS: Just not getting this medium tire works sliding all over the place. 0:8.9

Mexico City, 2025, Practice 2, 24 Oct 2025

16:44, RUS: Reef is terrible at this medium. Understood. 0:9.7

United States, 2025, Race, 19 Oct 2025

14:26, RUS: That's really super slow. Hey, I think he's struggling front left. 0:7.1

United States, 2025, Sprint, 18 Oct 2025

11:21, RUS: Audio only. 12:28, RUS: Pit: So now we've got two strikes, both at turn 12. So it looks like they're about three laps behind on track limits here. Coming for that turn 12 one with Max. Shouldn't really be counted as a racing. 0:17.812:43, RUS: Pit: So yeah, nice job there. Josh, that was a good send. Yeah, I knew that was the only chance, so I had to try it. 0:11.2
