Abu Dhabi2018Race25 Nov 2018

17:09RICAlright, this is it fellas, thank you. S*** have it.0:0917:21RICPitPitOK, Daniel, that car is still being craned off the track, so I think it's going to be at least one more lap. Yeah, I agree, it might be this lap.0:1017:37RICPitPitOk, so 2 cars ahead, quite slow doing 45, 0s.0:0517:46RICPitPitVettel, how are your tyres? How are your tyres? OK, so they've certainly hit a drop, but the last couple of laps have stabilised a bit, so I could probably halt this. OK, understood. So obviously Vettel has stopped, so we're thinking about doing the opposite.0:1717:48RICPitPitOk then, so everyone ahead of the pitted, keep pushing on, you know the plan now.0:0617:52RICI just saw the pit board. Nice. He did a good job, that last gap. He pulled out 7 tenths on Hamilton, gap now 6 .4. For info, wind has not changed, still headwind, braking for turn 8, no changes to the wind.0:1717:53RICPitPitSo all the top cars now in the Supers apart from us, Hamilton 6 behind, Bottas 15 behind you, Vettel 18 behind and Verstappen 20 behind you.0:1117:54RICPitPitHow are your tyres, Daniel? How are your tyres and balance? Yeah, fairly consistent. I can hold this.0:0717:59RICPitPitOK, you might notice it, there are some very light drops, we think they will not wet the track at all, let's know what happens, but we think it's going to be a short little period of a few drops, no concerns for us.0:1318:05RICPitPitOk then, so the wind has changed a bit, you're now getting a tailwind into 1 and into 11. Tailwind into 1, you can probably feel it.0:0818:05RICPitPitOK, so we think it might only just be one or two more laps with a few drops around.0:0618:16RICPitPitWhat do you think about front wing now, Daniel, front wing? Yeah, for the majority of the stint, I've been real limited, then it's stabilised quite a bit, so I'll still probably come down a smidgen. Okay, understood. Just be aware, we are likely to be in traffic as well, so think about that. Okay, yep, I know what you're thinking, so I'm happy with that. Understood.0:2518:21RICPitPitOK, so obviously tyre wear is not a concern, so you can get stuck in. Let's have fun for 22 laps.0:0818:22RICPitPitOK, so on the previous lap, Bottas missed out turn 8 -9, so there's a chance that he might have to let Max go, so we need to be there to pounce on him straight away.0:1019:00RICAudio only19:00RICThanks, guys. I know it got a bit boring, but I appreciate the last five years. Thank you. Daniel, great drive today. It's been an absolute pleasure having you in our team for the last five seasons. Seven victories, all the podiums, all the high moments, and we're going to miss you. We wish you all the very, very best for the future and hold very fond of memories that we have together. So enjoy this slowdown lap. Thank you. Thank you, Christian. Thanks, fellas. Anyway, I echo Christian's comments, mate. It's been a pleasure for the last five years. Thank you. Yep, you're a . Yeah, I love you too.0:47

Abu Dhabi2018Qualifying24 Nov 2018

17:46RICPitPitOK, abort Daniel, abort, slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down. OK, so we got through on the ultra? Yes, we got through on the ultra mate, nice job, we ended up P10. OK, nice.0:1518:08RICPitPitOK, our Rykernet just pipped us by half a tenth there, so we've finished P5, mate. Did you say half a tenth? Yeah. OK. It's a good effort, Daniel. Yeah, you were purple in the last sector there, so points for tomorrow.0:18

Abu Dhabi2018Practice 223 Nov 2018

17:24RICPitPitIt looks like we might get a third lap out of these tyres if you want to try again. Was the grip better that time? Question? Yeah, yeah, the rear was better. I had to track it from the previous lap, but it was better. OK.0:1617:52RICPitPitOK, just a bit of feedback from pedals, just watch, touching the front wing on that sausage on the exit at turn 20, I'm not sure if you've been near it or not, but just avoid running onto that sausage for left hand side, front wing damage. OK, cheers.0:1718:11RICPitPitOK, so other people are struggling with the grain in after even 4 or 5 laps. That's Mercedes and Ferrari. OK, so Verstappen, 5 laps in, is still doing 43 .6, so Verstappen deg is low.0:1518:17RICOK, so at the moment I'd say it's more in the front than the rear. I'll see if it cleans up and clear out. Understood.0:09

Abu Dhabi2018Practice 123 Nov 2018

13:07RICPitPitSo let's stop in the box, it is very slippery, just caution, nice first time into the box please.0:0714:35RICPitPitThere's a lot of rubber in the box, so have a good look into the box, there's a lot of rubber in our box.0:06

Brazilian2018Race11 Nov 2018

14:37RICAudio only14:37RICI think something came off the Sauber just in the pit lane, I saw it fly over my car, just checking it didn't get stuck on the kind of left side here.0:1015:27RICPitPitBottas is struggling a little bit, Max has passed him, Raikkonen is on him now. The Mercedes are not particularly quick at this stage.0:0815:32RICPitPitOK, last lap for Hamilton and Verstappen, both 14 .0s. Bottas is holding everyone up with a 14 .5. Understood. Yep, there's a lot more pace in it. Yeah, understood.0:1315:35RICOK, my tyres are fine. Understood, mate.0:0616:18RICPitPitOK mate, Bottas is not allowed to use any more overtake, he's been using it a lot this lap, he might be a bit more vulnerable, I do suggest mad 7, mad 7.0:1016:22RICPitPitOK mate. We will get him eventually. Let's keep it clean.0:0616:26RICOK, I'm going. Send it. Awesome. Right, Raikkonen. Four seconds up the road, let's get him. Good.0:1416:29RICPitPitAnd there are 11 laps remaining to get a podium. We can use mode 7 every lap from turn 12 to turn 1. We can use mode 7 every lap. It's free lap time. Let's use it.0:1316:35RICPitPitOK, battery is full, and you've got mode 7.0:0316:47RICPitPitOK mate, that was a good drive, good effort there. Finishes 0 .4 behind Räikkönen. OK, thanks. I appreciate it. That was a good drive, Daniel. I mean, that move on Bottas, we were all ****ing ourselves down here, I tell you. So, one to go, you'll be on the podium in Abu Dhabi. Keep your head up. That was a great drive. Thank you, Christian. Thank you guys. Appreciate it. Two more weeks. Fear and fervour, Verstappen was leading. When he pitted for softs a few laps before us, he caught and overtook Hamilton. A bit of a help from him, a bit of a backmark of traffic and he got him on the straight. But then Ocon tried to un -lap himself and took Max out at turn 2, which wasn't very clever. I'm sure he'll see it later.0:58

Brazilian2018Practice 29 Nov 2018

15:21RICPitPitTyres were a little bit on the cool side, they'll probably be better off on the next lap. Did the tyres improve through the lap, question? Yeah, they definitely started cool. Okay, understood.0:1116:03RICPitPitVettel did 10 laps on soft, he ended on a 13 .0. Hamilton on soft, 8 laps in, doing 13 .2.0:1016:14RICPitPitHow's the front wing, Daniel? How's the front wing? Yeah, it's okay. I wouldn't take more. Okay, understood.0:08

Brazilian2018Practice 19 Nov 2018

11:00RICPitPitThe tyres have obviously cooled down a little bit, but the pressure should be good, so grounding will be okay, but just be aware that obviously we're on mediums, and they may be a little bit cool.0:0911:17RICPitPitOK, so you can probably work your tyres a little bit to get a bit more temperature.0:0511:20RICPitPitHow are the tyres to start the lap, question? They're okay to start. Okay, so in that case you can afford to cool them down a bit.0:0811:42RICPitPitOK, switch off, thank you. Apologies. Did I collect him? Alright.0:1412:10RICAudio only12:11RICPitPitOK, reverse on, reverse on. Looks like the tyres might be a bit past their best, so we'll box this lap. Yep.0:09

Mexican2018Race28 Oct 2018

12:35RICPitPitI just locked the front, it's all good. Yeah, understood.0:0413:26RICPitPitHamilton may be struggling a little bit with front graining. Bit of front graining for Hamilton.0:0913:44RICPitPitOK, so Hamilton, not very happy on his tyres, so let's just keep a watching distance and have a look. Understood.0:0913:46RICYeah, I can feel a bit of front left again.0:0413:47RICPitPitOK, so there are three cars that started on supers, went through a bit of graining, but looks like they recovered a little bit after 20, 25 laps.0:1014:00RICWhat a f***ing joke, these guys. Yeah, understood. Let's just cut through him.0:0714:02RICPitPitOK mate, I know we've got **** over there, just remember you need to keep looking after that left front, that is the main aim.0:0614:07RICPitPitOK, so about six seconds ahead of you, Vettel has just passed Hamilton. Hamilton isn't very happy.0:0714:14RICPitPitHamilton struggling with vibrations, his left front is angry.0:0514:31RICPitPitOK mate, nice job. Let's open that gap in this high speed, you can do it.0:0414:35RICPitPitIt's good stuff this mate, just keep it up. Thank you, keep me posted.0:0514:37RICPitPitOK, Vettel does not have DRS. What's the gap across the line? Gap 1 .4, 1 .4. Isla Slappers, just a couple of tenths quickly, maybe one tenth.0:1314:40RICPitPitOK mate, we may have a bit of a problem, we're looking into it. You'll have very heavy steering, stop the car please, stop the car, stop the car. Sorry mate, I don't know what to say. You're doing a brilliant job. Me too. Alright. Yeah, P1 please and then P2. So sorry mate. I'll save it. Yeah, understood.0:28

Mexican2018Qualifying27 Oct 2018

14:00RICPitPitOK mate, you have P1 just for Stappen to finish his lap, it's going to be pretty close.0:0614:03RICPitPitAnd he finished P1. Nice job, mate. Good lap. Ah! That was a very good lap. Nice job. Well done, Daniel. It was a mega lap. Mega lap. Well done. Thanks, legends. Right, you need to speed up. You need to be negative. Push a bit more, please. Negative on the way in. I know you're having a nice time, but positive is not good. Speed up. I'm stoked. I can tell. So, joining you on the grid will be Verstappen by 300. Hamilton, 10th, behind you. Nice job, mate. And P0, please.0:54

Mexican2018Practice 327 Oct 2018

10:47RICPitPitOkay, virtual safety car, virtual safety car, slow down, slow down, might be there for a while so I suggest we box this lap, box this lap. Yep, box.0:0910:57RICThe charge isn't going up at all. Understood, we'll sort it out.0:05

Mexican2018Practice 126 Oct 2018

10:04RICPitPitOk DRS on. I don't have activation.0:05

United States2018Practice 320 Oct 2018

13:07RICPitPitHow was the balance? Yeah, pretty low grip, more on the nose, so yeah, lack of rear grip more than the front.0:1113:29RICPitPitOK, think about slower in 8 to be faster through turn 9. Might be a better compromise. Slower in 8 to be faster through 9.0:11

United States2018Practice 119 Oct 2018

10:51RICPitPitOk Daniel, brakes look more even now, brakes look more even on the front.0:08

Japanese2018Race7 Oct 2018

13:30RICPitPitSo just do one little blip before you do pre -start revs and it'll be a gear one start. Remember reverse on and off and the little lift before turn one.0:0913:32RICUh, front wing, wanna take some off, six clicks down. Ok, understood, sir, box this lap please, box this lap.0:0914:17RICPitPitOK, nice job. Next car, Hartley.0:0314:24RICPitPitOK, so the debris was from the Magnusson puncture. That's why there's bits of floor and debris around you. The main part of his tyre is on the left -hand side going into Turn 16. OK, I see it. And there is still quite a lot of debris. I'm sure you saw the two cars, they drove into the back of each other. So there is some bits of front wing on the right -hand side on the pit straight, so stay on the racing line. Stay on the racing line down to Turn 1. There's debris near the pit line. OK, cheers. Keep your temperature in your tyres.0:3414:25RICPitPitOK, Magnussen still hasn't got past the safety car. The safety car is in the last chicane, so it's going to be at least one more lap.0:0814:28RICPitPitOK, so you can free -tease the modes as you wish.0:0314:32RICPitPitOK, there is possible debris, but not confirmed. Turn 16 on the left -hand side in braking. Possible debris, unconfirmed. Turn 16.0:0814:35RICPitPitNice job.0:0314:38RICPitPitOk mate, nice job. You are now P5. You've just completed 13 laps. Good job.0:0714:48RICPitPitOk, Daniel Pace is looking good on this tyre.0:0314:51RICWhat time's this kid be doing? Raikkonen's fighting through traffic, he has been losing time to us, he's now 21 seconds behind, he's right on our window.0:1015:45RICPitPitIt's not bad from P50 mate. Yep, understood, thanks guys. It's a good comeback. Well done Daniel, that was a very good comeback, very good drive today, well done.0:11

Japanese2018Practice 36 Oct 2018

12:38RICPitPitJust remember, kerbs and astroturf.0:0512:57RICPitPitYeah, I heard traffic. Yeah, I saw that. Don't know what they're doing.0:0512:59RICPitPitOK, so we'll just follow the delta on the way and just maintain position, and then when you get into the pit lane, we want to create a gap. Verstappen is only 10 seconds ahead, so we need to back right off in the pit lane, so that he can get out of the way, and we can do a run -pit stop, alright? Understood. Are we running again, or that's it? We will not have time to run again, that is it.0:24
