Abu Dhabi, 2020, Race, 13 Dec 2020

12:37, FIT: Pit: Pietro let's use the in button the in button and confirm this is you're going to grid now so in button stay negative on the Delta time and drive to the back of the grid where the guys will meet you when you get to the back of the grid one static bike point learn. Copy, approaching last corner. 0:1912:37, FIT: Yeah, bounce got a little bit better there just the first two laps was understand of it copy that. 0:1013:25, FIT: Pit: Good who pace wise you're matching Kevin and Latifi's not closing you down from behind still one and a half seconds back to Latifi How is the balance? A bit on this domain and then traction a little bit problem. 0:1414:20, FIT: Pit: This base is really good mate, you're matching Ricciardo behind. He will be for Blues but you're matching him at the minute He's not closing you down. Good job. 0:1115:06, FIT: Pit: Okay Pietro, that's the checker, that's the checker. We had an engine air consumption issue on our car, that's why the first two stops were slow and we had to make that second stop. Really sorry for that man, without that second stop you'd have gone really well in that race. You've passed through Kevin which was brilliant to see and then your pace was better than him. It would have been really interesting if we'd managed to make plan A work, but I'm really sorry we had that engine issue. Good job, man. That's alright, thanks guys, it's part of the race. Yeah, thanks for the opportunity again. I'm really grateful to the whole team and to Gunther, Gene, thank you. And yeah, it was awesome, thank you. Pietro, thank you and you know, we didn't have a better tool for you, I'm sorry about that, but you've done a great job for the whole team and thanks for jumping in at short notice and just picking it up and keeping your nose clean, thank you. Thanks, Gunther. Okay, Pietro, you're amazing. Mode slow, mode slow. What was the pace there at the end? Thanks, Ernesto. At the end you were matching Kevin, he also boxed for same tyres and we were matching him, man. It was really good to see. Why couldn't we keep going at the end there? We can talk later. Yeah, we'll talk about it when we get back. I think with Kevin stopping, had we not stopped, he'd have very easily passed us back anyway, but we'll talk about it when we get back. 1:34

Abu Dhabi, 2020, Qualifying, 12 Dec 2020

13:02, FIT: Kevin's gone quite a bit slow. 0:0613:22, FIT: Pit: F***, I can't believe I couldn't improve that last lap. F***, it was too much traffic. 0:0713:24, FIT: Pit: I can do a box at the end of this lap, box at the end of this lap, that's the checker, we can use the in button please, in button, and stay negative to the delta. Hi, I couldn't, the f***ing teeth you spun in front of me. Yeah, we saw mate, we saw. That's a solid effort from you with P19, P19. About three tenths off Kevin, good effort man, really good effort, nice job. Thanks man, f***, I can't believe I couldn't improve that last lap. That's too much traffic. Yeah, Kevin got a bit better on the last push, I'm sure you would have had it without that weird start to the lap. Yeah, I had no, I had no, I locked up into turn one, no temps. Copy that dude. That's alright, we executed it the best we could. Yeah man. Good job. Weybridge didn't help a cent. You always gotta get that you guy right, it's ridiculous. 1:00

Abu Dhabi, 2020, Practice 2, 11 Dec 2020

13:02, FIT: Pit: And if we could just work on the brakes a little bit, the brakes are pretty cool so we can do some good stops into 8 and into 11 Yeah, there's a bit of pulling to the left. Okay, I think that's with them being cold So let's just try and build those brake temps up Everybody on tracks in sync around you. 0:1913:31, FIT: God damn, I don't know what happened. It's completely locked up. I just break and completely just locked both Yeah, we're looking at it. There could be some touch now come back. 0:1313:52, FIT: Pit: Then in sync with cars around Copy, that was a f***ing hit lap, sorry, just f***ing front temps running up in turn 1 Not your fault mate, that was pretty good with what you have with the temps we think. 0:1314:11, FIT: Pit: OK dude, let's not use DRS, no DRS and OK to push into braking, we don't need any lifting at the minute. Copy. 0:0914:36, FIT: These marshals got to stop running in front of the pit lane keep doing it Copy we can pass on. 0:07

Abu Dhabi, 2020, Practice 1, 11 Dec 2020

09:25, FIT: Pit: VSC, VSC. 0:0509:25, FIT: Pit: Ok Pietro, so very light on the brakes please, very light on the brakes, we just need to cool them down as much as we can Copy, copy So remember you need to stay positive on the delta time, positive on the delta time. 0:1409:27, FIT: Can I go back to pushing or roll down the brakes? Let's keep coasting to 11, please, and we'll review. 0:1009:38, FIT: Pit: Okay Pietro, we need to drive around the box, we need to drive around the box So just follow the guy's instructions. Once you stop, we'll do a pre -start rev check, but just follow the guy's instructions driving around the box. 0:1510:33, FIT: Copy, should I go to mode slow now? Yep, you can go to mode slow now, yep. And just remember, you can't leave the grid box until the grid space in front of you is clear. And go as far as you can. Yeah, I got you. Cool. Okay. So, from the left hand side, left hand side. Left hand, okay. 0:22

Sakhir, 2020, Race, 6 Dec 2020

18:34, FIT: F***ing front locking, man. 0:0318:50, FIT: Green white checkered, baby. Haha, that's how we do it. Mode slow, please. Mode slow. Yeah, but for sure I learned a lot and I'm gonna improve in the next one. Yeah, man. Let's go get it. So, thank you. Thanks, Ernesto. Tried my best. I still need a little bit better in dirty air under braking. I kept front right, man. It's just brutal for me. Kept locking up. That's what killed us in this race. 0:25

Sakhir, 2020, Qualifying, 5 Dec 2020

17:18, FIT: Pit: Really impressive dude, all weekend just chipping away and building up. Nice job. 0:08

Sakhir, 2020, Practice 3, 5 Dec 2020

14:03, FIT: Pit: How is the balance? The balance is pretty good. I just kind of had to get used to the speed a little bit again, but the balance is pretty good right now. 0:1614:03, FIT: Pit: and Pietro we think for the next push when we get to the next push lap we think left hand toggle in one could help you copy. 0:1014:06, FIT: Pit: Our fronts were just a little bit on the cool side at the beginning of that push lap dude, that's why we're asking for a little bit quicker slowdowns. Yeah I over pushed a bit in the last corner, lost all my time there. Copy that. 0:1414:09, FIT: Yeah, I mean, I locked up. I got a bit of vibration on it. 0:0614:10, FIT: Pit: Okay Pietro we could try pushing again on the next lap we just need a bit of speed into the last corner and we'll just judge the vibration if you feel it's too much please say It's quite a bit but I mean I could try doing a lap like this. 0:1814:47, FIT: Pit: Nice lap dude, nice lap, charge on, charge on. 0:0414:58, FIT: Pit: Yeah, keep over driving the last corner a little bit there. I lost a little bit there again. Sorry. Ah, no problem, man. Clear for learning. It doesn't matter yet. We can go through all the data and we'll be in a good spot for qualifying. Good session, mate. You built that up nicely. We're getting closer and closer to Kevin. 0:20

Sakhir, 2020, Practice 2, 4 Dec 2020

17:31, FIT: Pit: That went to K2 plus. Good man, good man, and we're the only car on track. 0:0717:32, FIT: Pit: Okay, dude, let's keep pushing. Let's push again. Still no other cars on track. 0:0617:35, FIT: The bounce seems okay, a bit of high -speed understeer into turn 5, bit of push understeer there. 0:1217:46, FIT: Pit: Sorry, the Alphonse was out in front of me. No problem, those guys are going to start pushing now, so just watch those guys coming past you, I'm going to do a cool down lap now. 0:1117:48, FIT: Pit: Okay, Kvyat near pit entry. Watch for Kvyat pushing as you join the track into turn one. Kvyat close in turn one. Nice job, dude. 0:0918:16, FIT: Pit: Okay, we could try diff 21, try diff 21 just to open the mid a little more to help the understeer. 0:0818:20, FIT: I couldn't quite maximise it there on the traffic. Yeah, there was a bit on the first lap. Don't worry dude, you've found some good time man. You're closing the gap to Kevin. Good job dude. Step by step. Yeah man, Newton knows it. 0:1518:21, FIT: Pit: Please take me to the procedure again. I can't neutral brakes on Yeah, pull the clutch in and keep it pulled press. Okay, select first gear All right, I'm here. Okay, cancel it. I think that we need which needs to investigate something outside. Sorry about that. 0:2118:48, FIT: Pit lane, pit lane. 0:0718:56, FIT: How's my wheel spin control? Is it okay? I need to be careful on traction. Your wheel spin is good, compared to Kevin it's similar, nice job, it's okay. So re -locking is still building, so let's do another click forward on B bow. 0:17

Sakhir, 2020, Practice 1, 4 Dec 2020

13:30, FIT: Pit: Can you do the radio check for Texas? Copy copy radio check. I hear you loud and clear at turn one. 0:1213:44, FIT: Pit: Okay and traffic wise we have Giovinazzi leaving the pits 12 seconds behind you, he's in sync so he's on an outlap as well so no traffic threat behind. 0:1013:52, FIT: Pit: Vettel 4 behind pushing, Vettel 3 behind pushing, Vettel 2 behind pushing, Vettel coming past you now. Next car will be Russell, he's 9 seconds back and he's pushing, remember to go mode push into the last corner. So Russell 6 seconds back on a push, Russell 5 seconds back on a push, and now mode push. 0:2514:16, FIT: Pit: You have to remember go to mode RS and pit limiter off for the start. 0:0714:18, FIT: Pit: Excellent lad mate, let's push again, let's push again. 0:0614:19, FIT: I'll cool down, I'll cool down.
