Abu Dhabi2018Race25 Nov 2018

16:35VEROne thing, my drink tube is a bit too short, so I need a longer one.0:0617:25VERWait, engine hot?0:0517:26VERPitPitMax, when you can, fail Charlie 3 fail. Fail C3 fail when you can.0:0817:32VERHey, can you tell me what was going on with the engine? So weird. There was unexpected PU protections. Unexpected PU protections, Max. So those fails have disabled those sensors, so hopefully we don't have a recurrence of that. So apologies for that. We've done a good job getting back through the traffic, alright? You overtook me. That's fine. You're ahead. He'll have to give that back. He'll give that back.0:2717:47VERYeah, bit stuck with the right front now. Understood, Max. Yeah, mate, listen to my words, right front are gone. Understood. Tyres are gone. Understood, Max. Yeah, losing all the rotation, left hand corners. So, box and pick and put, Max. Box, pick and put.0:2718:00VERYeah, it's raining here on turn 7. Yeah, copy, understood. On the back straight. Yeah, obviously we need to try and avoid fitting inters, so just take care.0:1818:23VERI cut the torque mate, otherwise you would have been behind. Yep, okay, I'm sure we'll keep it back. Alright, we're in touch with the FIA, Max.0:1218:26VERPitPitLovely. He just didn't see me. Right, let's get a gap.0:0718:43VERBut, um, I've got weird engine braking. Copy. Try the torque rotary. Smoke. Mate, listen, listen. I've got weird engine braking. Well, going up on torque is only going to help that. And I am listening. You don't need to tell me to listen, mate.0:2018:44VERKeep me up to date with the wind speeds, we're changing 11. Yeah, it's gusty out there at the moment Max, general direction is similar, but it is gusty. You've got a big tailwind out of 9 now, tailwind out of 9, less of a tailwind into 11.0:1519:00VERPitPitThat's it mate, job done, P3, another podium. Well that was not a bad race, after a difficult start, but I think we managed everything very well. So pretty good that, mate I couldn't see at the end, unbelievable. Well done Max, that was a very very strong drive today, well done, good job. Thank you Christian, the tyres held on also really well on both actually, positively surprised on the hyper. Max, Hugh tells me we got fourth in the championship, two points behind Kimi, people. Oh not too bad.0:40

Abu Dhabi2018Qualifying24 Nov 2018

17:34VERYo, that was pretty .0:0417:54VERWhat are the gaps to the guys in front? Ok, so you're P6, 35 .5, ahead of you Raikkonen 35 .5, Daniel 35 .4 in P4, Bottas 35 .4 in P3, then 35 .3 for Sebastian, then 35 .2 for Hamilton.0:1717:58VERThese tyres are way warmer out of the box. They're still in a good window. They're still in a very good window.0:0818:08VERNo, f**k, what a f**king disaster, ah f**k it, unbelievable, ah mate, already out of the garage, the tyres are just too hot, and you can say they're in a good window, but I'm just having to cool them down.0:18

Abu Dhabi2018Practice 324 Nov 2018

14:29VERAh, mate, again the battery running out. Understood.0:0614:29VERI'm not being able to charge the battery. Alright, we can go two slow laps if you want to. Yeah. Okay. Alright, so a bit more full load then to charge the battery, and band on at 4 seconds time -lapse.0:1514:50VERPitPitIt's probably quite difficult at these track temps, but see if you can lose a little bit more temperature in front and rear tyres Max, we're still plus, yeah six, both front and rear. Well I mean I'm almost standing still and the temperatures are going up. Yeah, understood.0:1915:00VERThe rear tyres are way too hot. Yeah, copy. Nobody went quicker on a subsequent lap.0:08

Abu Dhabi2018Practice 223 Nov 2018

17:19VERI touched that big kerb, so it bottomed out. Understood. OK, we'll box this lap, Max. Box this lap, Magnussen behind. Yeah, I think we need to check the floor, because it's quite a long touch.0:1517:22VERPitPitIt was basically just putting mud like literally underneath the car.0:0617:37VERPitPitOK, so Kimi is going to try a fifth lap on the high plat.0:0417:42VERRun out of battery. Understood. Reverse, off, and watch out for the open behind, mate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Run out of battery, ready in 10 -20.0:1317:44VERPitPitNobody has gone quicker after their first time lap. We'll give it a go. If it's not happening then we can box. The battery is so slow in charging. Do you want to do another lap? Try to charge it? Yeah, because like this, you can't really do a lap. Okay, let's do that.0:2218:09VERPitPitHow are the tyres, Max? Yeah, it's okay, just have to look after the right front and just the rear, they're moving around a bit.0:1118:15VERThat was an unsafe release. Understood Max.0:0618:26VERI'm getting into traffic again, but it doesn't make sense to keep stopping.0:06

Abu Dhabi2018Practice 123 Nov 2018

13:36VERYeah, I have a lot of rear locking, I like, just from the engine braking. At which point in the braking phase, Bluesmax, is that initial peak or later? No, when I'm coming off the brakes. Understood. We're not entirely sure that it's the engine braking that's causing the issue, could be drivability on par throttle as well, so I'll keep you posted. I'm pretty sure it's that.0:2513:40VERIt's definitely also short shifting, it's like a handbrake at the moment, but the medics are coming when I'm off throttle.0:1114:03VERIt's uh still not good by the way. Any improvement? Open behind now. Um no not much. The engine is still doing that same thing so it makes me just drift into the corner.0:1514:27VERUh, front right massively giving up now. Copy, Max, copy.0:0814:31VERWas that enough smoke? It's not really the launch we'd be after on Sunday, no.0:08

Brazilian2018Race11 Nov 2018

15:26VERPitPitHe's been told to try and break up the inside of one, Max. OK. He might be running out of battery as well.0:0915:26VERPitPitYes! Get in!0:0315:31VERPitPitSo slow!0:0415:31VERThat was nice. Yep, cracking joke.0:0415:31VERIt seems like he's sliding a bit more than me. OK, understood. So just creep up on it.0:0615:38VERPitPitDon't overdrive it. Keep it clean.0:0315:43VERYeah, just keep me up to date with what they are doing. Yeah, at the moment Hamilton's too quick on the new tyre, but we're just monitoring the pace of Bottas to make sure we're not in any danger of any undercut or anything like that.0:1315:44VEROk, tyres are good. Understood.0:0415:44VERJust the back markers are a little bit of a pain.0:0315:51VERFrom my feeling the tyres are getting better. Good news.0:0515:56VERPitPitHamilton, last lap is at 13 .5. Ok, I think I can do better than that. Understood. Mate, I think my right rear is really dropping off. Understood. And they are not moving.0:1716:01VERYeah, I got quite badly compromised with the end of that stint with the traffic. Yeah, understood, but you did a hell of a job to get through the traffic at the beginning of that stint, mate, so that was an excellent job. We do have several laps fresher tyres than Hamilton, and you'll see the whites of his tyres as well. That is a medium for him.0:1916:03VERPitPitGet in there my son. Get in there. Alright, let's get a gap to him. You've done everything you've needed to.0:0816:12VERI have the Swazilandia behind me, pushing. Understood. Yeah, he's out on fresh supers. What a f***ing idiot! What a f***ing idiot! Alright, calm yourself down for the moment, Max. Yeah, I made massive floor damage. Give me directions with tools. Yeah, just looking for the data now. On the pictures. On pictures you can see what's actually broken. Yeah, we've lost load on the pod front. We're measuring it. I'll give you an update on data and what we can do with tools, but obviously for the moment, you know what you can feel, so get on that and be proactive. Alright, Max, we have lost a significant amount of downforce, but we think it's fairly well balanced, so you just have to manage it.0:4816:15VERWait, this battery needs to charge more. We're all really empty. Charge 10 please, charge 10.0:0816:17VERPitPitYou just put your personal best sector 2 in there. You've still got some in this.0:0516:26VERPitPitJust took 7 tenths out of Hamilton in sector 2. No, you made a mistake!0:0716:46VERPitPitMate, I don't know what to say, mate. I do not know what to say about that. Yeah, I know what to say. I hope he... I can't find him now in the paddock because then he has a f***ing problem. What a f***. Max, you drove brilliantly today. You've summed it up brilliantly about Mr. Ocon. Compose yourself. You deserve that race victory today, but considering the lack of downforce you've got on that car to catch Hamilton the way you did is a hell of a drive. Yeah, the car was amazing, the whole race. Thank you. Thank you for that, guys. Yeah, no worries, Max. You made such light work of getting through him as well. You didn't... You were not behind him for very long, any of them. It was incredible. You just got straight through him. Incredible maturity getting through, mate. Yeah. You just... Yeah, didn't get a chair on the cake today, but he'll come, mate. He'll come. Yeah, at least we could enjoy the overtakes and the general pace of the car. He left them standing. It was incredible.1:07

Brazilian2018Qualifying10 Nov 2018

15:02VERPitPitMax, wind direction is as P, well, similar to yesterday. Wind direction is similar to yesterday.0:0915:08VERAh, yeah, say this.0:0415:39VERjust not hard luck mate uh two hundreds two hundreds hard luck pal it's all right it's good effort box box and confirm that's a good effort i don't know that's decisive though max yeah would have been nice do you think conditions are good enough to try again i'm not sure mate i i don't think so yeah it's definitely turning harder lap by lap so i don't think so0:3115:53VERPitPitSo you're aware, Max, Leclerc has set his fastest first sector and, well, he's within scatter on his middle sector, so track looks good.0:12

Brazilian2018Practice 310 Nov 2018

12:44VERCar doesn't turn. Entry to mid -corner. Both sides? In general, everywhere. Understood.0:1312:56VERPitPitOk, focus on cooling the tyres. Yeah, the tyres are still a bit cold in the front. A lot of understeer still. Yeah, understood.0:12

Brazilian2018Practice 29 Nov 2018

16:00VERYeah, that's fine, don't worry.0:0616:18VERI went a bit wide. Understood.0:0516:30VERYeah, the rungs are very poor, I can't turn. Understood. Is that balance or tyre condition? Both. Copy.0:10

Brazilian2018Practice 19 Nov 2018

11:36VERPitPitSo he's still P2, half a tenth behind Hamilton. Purple sector 1 and 2. He is purple in sector 3.0:1012:23VERPitPitMost people have been quickest on their first time lap.0:0412:24VERPitPitAlright, so we'll have to work with this. Obviously, the space on track that we wanted, Vettel's got.0:07

Mexican2018Race28 Oct 2018

13:24VERPitPitHow was the CarMax? All manageable, sir. Understood. Just make sure you keep active on the tools.0:0813:31VERWait, we are really struggling. Yeah, I know. Right, everything you've got this lap please Max, everything you've got.0:0913:49VERPitPitThis is not going to be straight forward to the end of this race Max, either 1 or 2 stops.0:0613:51VERPitPitOK Max, so again, settle down, look after the tyres, there's a lot of troubles behind.0:0913:56VERPitPitIn all of this negativity, you are doing a stellar job. Thank you, sir.0:0614:39VERUm, yeah, check my engine if we need to turn it on, turn it on. Understood.0:0714:41VERYeah, massive brake pulling, I need to warm them up. Understood.0:0514:42VERAgain, if you need to turn it down, just do it. Understood.0:0614:46VERPitPitThat was purple, sector 2 and 3. We don't need it mate. I know we don't need it, but it's nice. Yeah, OK Max, that's purple. Please, slow it down. There you go, Bottas on the pressure set. It's out of reach, don't worry about it. Bring it home. OK. Thank you.0:22

Mexican2018Qualifying27 Oct 2018

13:11VERPitPitWe're happy with that, Max. Thank you, box.0:0513:29VERDo you think that's good enough? Yep, we're happy with that. Box, pick up, perm.0:0613:32VERPitPitIt's likely to be your race start set of tyres, mate. That put you P1, top 6 on ultras, 15 .6, so you lost quite a bit of time in sector 3 as well, and it's still looking quite a little bit neutral into some low -speed turns. Yeah, very neutral. Is that just balance or engine issues? A bit of both.0:2613:52VERPitPitOK, that's P1, round 1.0:0313:54VERPitPitHow was the balance and how was the grip on the rears through the lap? Better like this. Have you got grip for the final corners? Yeah. Understood. 2 tenths clear at Vettel, 3 tenths on Hamilton, 3 tenths on Daniel, 4 on Bottas.0:1814:04VERPitPitNo, P2, pit, three hundredths by Daniel, pit, right at the last, I know it ain't the number you wanted, you've been solid all weekend, hot two tomorrow.0:15

Mexican2018Practice 327 Oct 2018

10:59VERIt felt like the front tyres were not ready. Understood. What about turn 13? Turn 13? What is it? The tight left hand hairpin. Yeah, again, my battery is not charging.0:16

Mexican2018Practice 126 Oct 2018

10:41VERThey blocked me in the last sector, so now his lap is also f***ed. Understood mate.0:0911:07VERThe brakes are pulling a bit in the front. OK, temperatures are reasonably square, just have a positive braking event into turn 12.0:10
