And then we'll push the entry, and we'll do a full pit stop. Yeah, not really, I'm not happy with the vibrations. Okay, understood.”
- 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix · Practice 2“Planning to box, if that's okay for you? Yeah, that's fine. Ideally I'd have another lap, but it's okay.”

Alonso is P15 and through, it is two and a half tenths. Ah, so it's not two hundredths. No, two hundredths to the car ahead, sorry, and it's two and a half tenths to P15. Ah, okay. And the waivers didn't help us as well. Still not great. Yeah, and the traffic in 22 didn't help at all. So, that's it, yeah? Yeah, that's it, that's it. Still P17. Lance P18.”

And when you can, I know balance is difficult, but thoughts for aero balance? I would go down, because it was getting tricky for the rear at the end. So Schumacher 2 .5 behind. There's a 5 second gap behind him. 2 clicks down? Yep, 2 clicks down.”
- 2021 Qatar Grand Prix · Race“If you could just let us know where you are with tyres. The guys are pitted from the softer onto the medium. Getting better now. Copy that, understood. What's the pace on the medium runners? So 29 .7 for Lance in a bit of free air on the medium.”

- 2021 Qatar Grand Prix · Race“That's checkered flag. Well done. Good recovery. P10. Oh man, sorry for all lap 1. That stinks. I had nowhere to go and then I didn't see **** when I went into turn 1 and lost the rear. Yeah, it was not great from my side and then we were basically last, so... Yeah, exactly. It's a good recovery. The pace was good. Lance P6. Lance P6. Why did Norris pit in the end? All tyre concerns from a lot of cars, Sebastian. How was our pace? It was very strong, Sebastian. Basically, that previous lap, Verstappen and Norris and Hamilton were quicker and that's it. So yeah, very strong. Yeah, like you said, probably a reasonable recovery but it just stinks that I messed up the first lap and came out last, so... but nearly. Yeah, yeah. We'll take the positives now. It was a good, fast pace. We'll get it next time.”
