13:00, RAI: Pit: Good luck and enjoy. 0:5.313:28, RAI: I think we should try to lock out with the safety cars when we come to the pitch at least three down okay copy. 0:14.213:41, RAI: Something broke, I don't know what's happened, I don't know what happened. Okay, can't see anything so far, keep going. Like when I tried to break down into 5 and then exit, I had like really weird, I don't know what happened. Okay, stand by, stand by, keep going. No, it's okay. Okay, we stay out, we stay out. 0:38.613:42, RAI: They had the brakes f***ing felt. 0:5.213:45, RAI: Pit: Yeah, the brake f***ing failed. Oh no. I don't know what... Can you try to reverse? Yep. Okay, watch for the button behind you. So... Yeah, it popped. When we changed the switch... Was there issue or it just failed? I think it was independent, but let me check. Yeah, it was for something else. And watch for Perez. Okay, give me box, box. Yeah, but there's cars coming. Yeah. Yeah, we changed front wing and nose, and we try again. 4 seconds to well on foot. Yeah, but the brakes are working this time around or not? As far as I know, yes. Yeah, but I know... Sorry guys, but... It's pointless to go out if you are... Maybe it works, or maybe not. Okay? Copy. We are f***ing lap down already, so... Because I said already, lap before something would happen, and now... Okay, so... Okay, give me... We... You can switch off. Switch off. We retire the car. 1:30.900000000000006

Abu Dhabi, 2021, Qualifying, 11 Dec 2021

13:04, RAI: Pit: Actually, probably the best will be to do another charge, so you will have everybody in phase. If not, you will have a car slow during your push laps. Signs, 9 seconds behind. Keep me updated. 8 seconds. 7. 0:19.413:13, RAI: Pit: Okay, we stay on plan, Camille, we stay on plan, we can do the same sequence. 0:8.913:24, RAI: Yeah, I'm OK, yes. Copy, copy. OK, box please, box. I think I got **** on my wheels on the right, on the wheels from the kerb, actually, that night. Because it was very slippery on the next lap. OK, copy that. We'll have a look. It was a good lap until then. 0:24.7

Abu Dhabi, 2021, Practice 3, 11 Dec 2021

10:07, RAI: Pit: Ok, on both strides we'll need some full throttle for your battery please, and some brake. 0:7.210:12, RAI: Pit: It will be a bit tight with the battery, so... Maybe I just start the lap on the... Yeah, yeah, good idea, yeah, do that. 0:10.610:22, RAI: Are you happy to try the setup change we talked about, or...? I struggle a bit on traction anyhow, so I'm not sure if it's the right thing to try. I guess we cannot go back if we change it, so... 0:21.710:43, RAI: I think we can do another lap, so I'll go up to the tires because I want to pull down a little. Yeah, no problem. 0:8.310:56, RAI: Pit: Ok Kimi, you will have time to complete a push lap, 4 minutes until the end of the session. 0:8.7

You can slow down a bit to create a gap. You have nobody behind. 0:14.314:58, RAI: Pit: Ok Kimi, no problem on traffic, so that's the plan, I suggest box, we do a start on pit exit and then you do another lap and you go on the grid for the start please. 0:13

Saudi Arabian, 2021, Practice 2, 3 Dec 2021

17:29, RAI: Ah, it's a f***ing joke with the traffic. Yep, yep, we saw, saw. No one, I think we need to do another charge lap, probably. Yeah, we need to do another charge. I can't see anyone pushing at the moment. But you will have a lot of cars starting a lap. 0:18.1

Yeah, I'm just tracking a bit speed, look at them, they're going out of the dive. Copy, copy, at least you had a few overtakes. OK Kimi, watch out, I think you have a slow puncture, diff mid P, slow puncture rear left. Diff mid P please.

Yep, yep. 0:1321:03, RAI: Pit: Ok, I think it would be a good idea to start building a gap quite early, you will have like 6 cars ahead starting a lap. 0:11.721:09, RAI: Both sets of medium hazard timing, front lockup. Copy. 0:8.8

Mexico City, 2021, Practice 2, 5 Nov 2021

17:30, RAI: Pit: And we can go when you're ready. 0:3.817:44, RAI: Pit: And track is clear, so I would suggest box to work on a car, but we can do another lap if you want. Yeah, we can see your front left tires quite damaged, so probably better to box. 0:17.8

19:53, RAI: Yeah, I don't know about the day if we should stay with the front wing or go up as we said. 0:10.720:33, RAI: Sure, last time I went second fastest right away, but it's impossible to f***ing out today. Copy that, copy that, we come back to you. I'm fine to let him pass when it comes to that. If I cannot make any progress, I don't give a f*** about it. 0:17.421:34, RAI: Pit: OK, the car is OK, the car is OK, keep pushing, Leclerc, 4 seconds behind. Yeah, but the tyres are gone. The tyre pressure is OK, if the vibration is too much, we can box or stop. Let's box, this is our usual tyres. OK, box then, box. I will go plus 3, Kimi, plus 3, box, box, box. 0:26.721:50, RAI: Pit: OK Kimi, that's the checkered flag, so more charge please, more charge and pick up rubber. 0:9.1

21:17, RAI: Ok, yeah I don't know, I hit the bottom of Bad Lindt at like 4 or 5 and then it was just disaster after that, the rear. Copy, copy that, at the moment mechanically everything looks sound but we keep checking. 0:20.4

Turkish, 2021, Race, 10 Oct 2021
