- 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Practice 1“OK, we can go in now, so go switch to in, and cool the P .U. where we can, so high speed, low revs, first car pushing in at 10. Still felt a little bit on the spirally side for that last lap. Yeah, you can see that. Wearing the steering wheel out. OK, so we can box this lap, Gasly pushing in 5.”
- 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Practice 1“Okay, it's all clear behind, we need to drop as much pace as we can from 1 till 5. Warped with the rear into turn 6. So our cool laps are around plus 30 at the moment, we need to try and get at least another 50 % on that.”
- 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Practice 1“OK, so there'll be 7th in line, choose a side. Confirm burnouts and BPF, currently 3 burnouts and 2 static BPF, pick a side and then only launch once it's directly clear in front of you, so confirming 3 burnouts, 2 BPF, so pick a side, wait for it to clear ahead of you, and then launch.”
- 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Practice 1“Nice job, thank you. A little bit messy with peeping in front of you on that final run, but still a good job. Yeah, no, thank you guys. You made that pretty easy for me. Yeah, I'm just a bit rusty with some of the more specifics here, but it felt alright. You can add this car to the long list of other ones you've driven this year. It's a growing collection. I just need to get in the rental carts this weekend and I'm set. Thank you.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Race“It's the hesitation on exit of 8, because I'm short -shifting.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Race“What's happening? The exit of 8. I'm getting big hesitations every lap now. Rear is very light, turn 1 and turn 4.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Race“Sorry about that guys. Just pushing a bit too hard. Thank you anyway for my first weekend. Really appreciate all the help from everybody. You made it as easy as it could have been. Yeah, thank you. Solid job.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Qualifying“That's another good lap, go -in lap, push on the way in, currently P15, it's half a tenth quicker than Nicholas, and half a tenth slower than Magnussen, it's clear behind.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Qualifying“So how far off the queue are we? Less than a 10. That was a good effort, well done. Looked like Magnussen might have been playing hardball to open the lap.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Practice 1“It's clear behind, give us a radio check. Radio check, turn 1, turn 2, turn 3. Yep, copy, 1, 2, 3, loud and clear. And turn 4. Loud and clear, turn 4. Turn 6, turn 7, I missed turn 5. Copy, that's all good.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Practice 1“OK, we'll take a slow lap, target plus 30, so we can afford to drop back on the straights as well to get the cool down lap time, plus 30, 3 -0, last time around was about 18, just watch your mirrors, 2 seconds for Russell, then Albon, then Stroll, potentially Albon pushing, just watch your mirrors.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Practice 1“Managing the brake temps on these thrown -ups is quite difficult.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Practice 1“OK, yeah, went through the gravel. Didn't hear anything, but tyres are a bit flat -spotted. Copy. I'd say they're badly flat -spotted, are they, Jack? Yeah, unfortunately. Alright, so we'll box then. Box, box.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Practice 1“OK, temps are good for coming through the pit lane, bike point find, 5 burnouts and a start. The last one was 2 % shallow and we just need to shorten up that plateau phase and halve the time. So we box this lap, bike point find, 5 burnouts and a start.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Practice 1“Brake warming again is fine. Let's do the brake warming again out of three. It's all clear behind.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Practice 1“I think I got the failsafe there. Copy.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Practice 1“It's clear behind. You've got 20 seconds back to Norris. So from SC2, so go in lap, target minus one to minus three on the dash. Follow the same process as the PU calling, so getting the speed up and then coasting.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Practice 2“Still dropping the rear, but let's get some good stops at turn 1 and turn 4 for the brakes.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Practice 2“In the last two laps we've opened the lap about 5k down compared to the option so potentially need to pick the speed up earlier at the last corner to open the lap.”
- 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix · Practice 2“What are we doing with DRS on this run? They're all non -DRS, non -DRS. So the first start was 4 % deep.”
- 2020 Styrian Grand Prix · Practice 1“We're going above understeer, turn 4, mid to exit that time, see what I can do with the switches, maybe just come down on mid for that corner. Yep, copy that, down on mid for turn 4 is good.”
