Hungarian, 2026, Race, 26 Jul 2026

15:11, VER: Also again, the dumping failed for sure. Spasiboodee! 15:18, VER: Please do something about this shit, and don't tell me it's me 15 later. Absolutely. 15:26, VER: Pit: Well, that was quite special, I don't want to blame it up once again moving on the breaking I mean sorry section, but it's not right. 16:14, VER: Pit: This is good Max. You got it. You might have some fun towards the end. 16:45, VER: Pit: That is an excellent drive Max, really, really, really spot on. I'd like to be a C -Sprog to your showpiece finale, but nonetheless, I'm going to be proud of that final sit. That's a great move there as well, so fantastic job. Yeah, we had a second today in some way or another. Great job. Well, it's been quite a lot out there, so...

Hungarian, 2026, Qualifying, 25 Jul 2026

17:12, VER: The course is completely broken aerodynamically. It's getting worse and worse. What a weekend.

Hungarian, 2026, Practice 1, 24 Jul 2026

13:36, VER: I can't believe all these guys, that was actually really dangerous, I could even slam on the brakes. 13:41, VER: and the car is jumping like crazy, really bad jumping on the front axle, really bad. 14:03, VER: How are shifts? Same, it's not good. What's ride? Same, not good. And lag? A little bit better in the last corner now because of the gear.

Belgian, 2026, Race, 19 Jul 2026

16:30, VER: Yeah, good job guys. It's the last podium. We're unlucky with that VSC, but it's all good. Well done Max. The pace is getting better, you were very strong as you say. Unlucky for P2, but it's close enough to the top and we have more coming. So, thanks for bearing with us. Yeah, exactly that. It's a tiny bit unlucky, but it's still a good podium.

Belgian, 2026, Qualifying, 18 Jul 2026

17:11, VER: That was a two and a half, hold up. OK mate, that's P2, we can thank ESA for that, it's a couple of a bit.

Belgian, 2026, Practice 3, 18 Jul 2026

13:37, VER: Pit: What the f**k? My god, it's like double yellow, it's just kind of like, just all these crushes in the back of me. Unbelievable.

Belgian, 2026, Practice 2, 17 Jul 2026

17:12, VER: My god, this is unbelievable man. What is unacceptable? My god.

British, 2026, Race, 5 Jul 2026

15:00, VER: Audio only.

British, 2026, Sprint, 4 Jul 2026

12:34, VER: Pit: Thanks Max for the fight. I'm sorry for lap one. Still have some work to do on two seats. Thanks for the fight.

Austrian, 2026, Race, 28 Jun 2026

15:16, VER: I respect. 0:7.215:58, VER: Pit: So, yeah, best you can at this stage of the race, we'll just try to build a bit of a tyre offset. Hope he gets into trouble towards the end. I'll take it. Copy. 0:1116:31, VER: Pit: Ah, good job Max, well done. Throwing the wheels off it, that's normal. Thanks for the help. 0:12.4

Austrian, 2026, Practice 3, 27 Jun 2026

12:52, VER: Yep, that's it, we're at F27, I need to change my earplugs and, uh, send the balaclava, it's something really awful. That's it. 0:15.212:55, VER: Still have my statement, really, like, right at the top. Copy. 0:5.9

Austrian, 2026, Practice 1, 26 Jun 2026

13:33, VER: Oh, God. I couldn't lose the clutch I got at the start. 0:8.113:57, VER: I have not been able to feel it, basically, it's just tired, a little hard to hold it. 0:11.814:02, VER: Pit: I don't know what's happening on the road there. 0:08

Barcelona, 2026, Race, 14 Jun 2026

15:18, VER: Yeah, it's not like a lot to the bias the league on the street. It's not impressive. 0:9.216:42, VER: Pit: Well done, Max. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, it's one race, the other one's ahead. But, yeah, it's all right. Well done, Max. That was the maximum. I like the way you achieved today. Well done with the pace and the high amount of momentum all through the race. 0:23.3

Barcelona, 2026, Practice 2, 12 Jun 2026

17:10, VER: I already lost one tip to your truck, so I don't know. Take it to court, but it's not the same. Copy that Max, we can see why you didn't have quite as much to clobber to turn on. 0:14.6

Barcelona, 2026, Practice 1, 12 Jun 2026

14:07, VER: Uh, yeah, please do the next one, uh, give me something for outfits, uh, but they're not good. Copy that, thank you. 0:08

Monaco, 2026, Race, 7 Jun 2026

15:04, VER: What should I do? Just bring it home for these guys. 0:7.315:09, VER: Oh, nice. What the f***, guys? What the f***? 0:5.7

Monaco, 2026, Qualifying, 6 Jun 2026

16:32, VER: You know that? What the f*** are you doing? You're like a mechanic, an idiot. 0:7.617:00, VER: Pit: But this outfit is up. You cannot exit behind one. 0:5.617:11, VER: Pit: Ah, hard luck mate, four hundredths, it's front row, front row. Ah, ha, ah, it's a shame, it's a shame, but still, I think that, that, guys, ah, that's a shame, but still, still get the result. Absolutely mate, came off, well done. 0:19.517:12, VER: Pit: Well done Max, that was nailed, and more than that, I think you deserve a bit more than that P2, but it's a mega good news for everyone, well done. Yeah, I mean, it was a good period, we had a massive jump, so well done. 0:22.1

Canadian, 2026, Race, 24 May 2026

15:21, VER: I think this is the switch. Copy that Max. Box, switch to select, confirm. Yep. 0:11.117:40, VER: Pit: Good job Max, we didn't fight out there today I think, well done. Yeah, it's just a shame we didn't have the tyre attack for the final scene. Really difficult but good job. That's the first road in. 0:16

Canadian, 2026, Qualifying, 23 May 2026

16:33, VER: I can't get my front tires in the window, like it's really, really bad. Like yesterday in the island, it's like I'm driving on ice. Copy that. 0:1216:53, VER: What's going on with this straight line speed because it's bleeding. 0:8.517:08, VER: Yeah, I mean, I think it's something really wrong that we didn't check ice and stuff before. Sorry, Max, we know it's a frustrating one, but we'll have a lot to be honest with, so it's a painful but necessary data point, and we'll look to it. It's three times from the board right now. 0:17.8

Canadian, 2026, Sprint, 23 May 2026

12:10, VER: I cannot save it. I wear it. It's holding like crazy. 0:6.1

Abu Dhabi, 2025, Race, 7 Dec 2025

17:12, VER: Pit: This is good for now, Max. We may wish to be going longer, so just keep on top. 0:7.717:53, VER: Pit: Basically we need our fastest stint to the end max. We don't want to give away too much race time to Piastri, who will undoubtedly be relatively quick on his medium. 0:12.418:08, VER: Pit: He's gonna need to be 1 .5 seconds quicker than you every luck. I'll give you posted. 0:7.818:13, VER: Pit: Is Schwarz catching it or not? Fairly equal pace, Max, between them. Last lap was a couple of tenths quicker, but nothing drastic. 0:12.118:32, VER: Pit: Max, you have given everything. You can be proud of that, mate. Hold your head up high. We showed that one final time in this class. Congrats, guys. When we come back in the second half of this season, we can be really, really proud of that. So don't be too disappointed. I'm definitely not disappointed. I'm really proud of everyone. We never give up. 0:26

Abu Dhabi, 2025, Qualifying, 6 Dec 2025

19:01, VER: Pit: That's two pole position laps, Max. It's a good start. Let's go, guys. Let's see. Yes. Lovely. 0:14.719:10, VER: Pit: Unbelievable speed, Max. Just pure speed. Yeah, fantastic work, guys. That's a great, great ball fight. So let's have some fun out there tomorrow. 0:13.2

Abu Dhabi, 2025, Practice 3, 6 Dec 2025

15:26, VER: The problem is that the car still jumps. I can't even see my feet on the pedals. 0:10.3

Abu Dhabi, 2025, Practice 2, 5 Dec 2025

17:08, VER: Pit: You've got Norris not opening a lap behind you, but maybe he is coming through. 0:10

Abu Dhabi, 2025, Practice 1, 5 Dec 2025

14:04, VER: Pit: Okay, you've got Leclerc Jr. at three seconds. I find it quite funny you call him Jr. 0:9.714:20, VER: I don't have something broken on the car. Where are the main areas of issue? Well, it's everywhere now. 0:12.1

Qatar, 2025, Race, 30 Nov 2025

19:10, VER: Point extreme balance sheet, straight to left -hand borders. 0:7.219:19, VER: Pit: Expect McLaren's to push hard on the restart to lap 25 max, obviously they've got to do their best to generate as much of a gap as possible to you. I can't let them go too far away. No, but we just need the two fastest stints. 0:19.519:55, VER: Pit: Front left looks more robust on Gasly's car, less graining than the medium tyre runners. So it should be more robust, obviously fuel load is down. This is now very similar to the Sprint Race Max, but you are on a more robust tyre. 0:16.420:07, VER: Pit: Okay Max, this race is Oscar who's pitted early and he is looking to chase you down now. 0:11.120:27, VER: Audio only. 20:27, VER: Pit: Not sure what happened to Antonelli, looks like he just pulled over and let Norris through. 0:0820:28, VER: Pit: Anyway, regardless of that, we will fight to the end, mate. Fantastic. Yeah, it's unbelievable. Really well done with the strategy, guys. That was awesome. Thank you very much. You keep staying in it. That was a very lovely race. You take that one. Great job, everyone. 0:24.2

Qatar, 2025, Sprint Qualifying, 28 Nov 2025

20:47, VER: Yeah, we saw that with PS3. Norris opening a lap behind you. 0:9.121:09, VER: I don't care man, it's just prancing like an idiot. 0:8.521:11, VER: You cannot give up track position, okay? I got it, I got it. Let me finish this. I started to understand a lot, but I'm busy. 0:14.821:26, VER: Pit: Okay, that's P6 Tough one Max We have some work to do as the weekend is long mate, so we keep working on it all together Yeah, it's certainly not good but we'll have to look. 0:17.9

Qatar, 2025, Practice 1, 28 Nov 2025

16:43, VER: Alright, my studio feels really weird suddenly. I don't know what it is. Alright. 0:9.916:48, VER: My god, this is like idiots. 0:6.817:08, VER: Yeah, it feels like the dumping is really bad on the car every time I move throttle the car is jumping a lot. 0:10.217:11, VER: Yeah, this clipping out at 6 is a disaster, just no pace out of the corner. 0:8.9

Las Vegas, 2025, Race, 22 Nov 2025

20:29, VER: Pit: 3SC Max dash positive. 0:10.220:30, VER: Audio only. 20:30, VER: Pit: VSC, VSC ending, VSC ending, just watch your dash. 0:4.820:31, VER: Audio only. 21:01, VER: Pit: Poor Infomax. Lando has been told to come and get you, but he is saving turns 17, 5, 11. 0:10.221:26, VER: Well done, really good execution, you managed that really, really well, so I'm very happy. Well done guys, well done everyone. 0:25.2

Las Vegas, 2025, Practice 3, 21 Nov 2025

17:31, VER: F***ing idiots and honestly, they just drove into the racing line. I had to go to the wet. 0:7.6

São Paulo, 2025, Race, 9 Nov 2025

13:21, VER: Guys, it's a little bit here. Yep, understood. Could be drops at turn 4, turn 12. 0:12.913:27, VER: Uh, just for your information, this engine, uh, lag rates are a lot less, so pick the look out if you will. Okay, well that's it, thank you. 0:50.814:15, VER: Pit: So we think we've picked up a front -ride puncture, Max, and that was the reason for the box. 0:7.515:10, VER: Pit: Something I didn't think I'd say Max, at the end of the pitlane earlier, you are now race leader. Go Max! 0:8.815:17, VER: Pit: It's been a fairly vulnerable tyre this match, so yeah, do your best. Yeah, we're going to take the list. 0:16.515:20, VER: Pit: P2 is on here Max, assuming you can control the deck. 0:8.115:25, VER: Pit: Good job mate. Around the outside, around the inside. 0:6.415:37, VER: No, don't be. That's a really, really good race for us. And we will at least try, you know. 0:12.7
