2013 Japanese GP qualifying team radio transcript | 2013 Japanese Grand Prix

PQ
02:38[1]
Juan Pablo Ramirez
Giedo van der Garde[2]
OK good Giedo. We will not be able to wait too long beacuse of the programme. Please check the brake balance is at 54% which is the brake balance you used for the frst flying lap last time around. And we’ll go from there.
Q1
20:00[3]
Juan Pablo Ramirez
Giedo van der Garde[4]
Wind should be similar to this morning although feels a bit gustier over here in the pit wall so just keep an eye on that. And we go out in mix two.
Q1
19:48[5]
Tim Wright
Charles Pic[6]
Track temperature’s gone up just four degrees from the morning session, plus for. Wind is the same direction, it feels quite strong, it’s a tailwind down to turn one again. We are fuelled for three timed laps, baseline for the second run is one timed lap so we’ll just confirm that with each other after the first run. OK?


Charles Pic[7]
Tim Wright
OK.
Q1
16:55[8]
Dave Robson
Jenson Button[9]
Button leaves the pits.
Straight out, drive straight out.
Q1
16:36[10]
Brad Joyce
Adrian Sutil[11]
Everybody is on out-laps. So we can afford to take a gap because our first lap is going to be more of a cruising lap.


Adrian Sutil[12]
Brad Joyce
OK I’ll push for lap two and four.


Brad Joyce
Adrian Sutil[13]
That’s it, copy that. Hulkenberg and Perez behind both on out-laps Raikkonen and Button ahead also on out-laps.
Q1
15:39[14]
GianPiero Lambiase
Paul di Resta[15]
Brake temps looking good.
Q1
14:15[16]
Andrew Murdoch
Pastor Maldonado[17]
Next car behind Vergne, let Vergne go, he’s on a timed lap and there’s a big gap behind.
Q1
13:02[18]
GianPiero Lambiase
Paul di Resta[19]
Not a bad first effort. Kimi 32.8, Jenson 32.6.
Q1
12:02[20]
Mark Temple
Sergio Perez[21]
Currently we’re P6, we’re five tenths slower than Jenson. Three tenths in sector one, four tenths in sector two and then you’re one tenth faster in sector three.
Q1
10:20[22]
GianPiero Lambiase
Paul di Resta[23]
Not clear what this was in reference to.
OK, be cool, be cool.
Q1
10:05[24]
Andrew Murdoch
Pastor Maldonado[25]
Next one behind is Massa, don’t hold Massa up, let him go.
Q1
09:38[26]
Mark Temple
Sergio Perez[27]
That’s good we are currently P6. Can we have Yellow G7. You have Sutil and Grosjean, I think Sutil we be on a timed lap, currently five seconds behind you.
Q1
08:20[28]
Romain Grosjean[29]
Ayao Komatsu
We can go a bit higher on the front.


Ayao Komatsu
Romain Grosjean[30]
OK, copy that.
Q1
07:57[31]
Peter Bonnington
Lewis Hamilton[32]
Front temps are approaching the bottom of the window. Rears still in the middle so just cool those rears a little more.
Q1
07:08[33]
Marco Schupbach
Nico Hulkenberg[34]
Track seems to be quite quick I have to say. We are looking into having to improve.
Q1
06:10[35]
Juan Pablo Ramirez
Giedo van der Garde[36]
In the pits Van der Garde compares a trace of his lap time versus his team mate’s.
So just have a look at the compare. Turn six, we need to have a look at that, five and six, braking into the hairpin as well we need to make an effort there, and exit of the chicane still more to gain there.
Q1
05:25[37]
Charles Pic[38]
Tim Wright
OK just for your information the front was working much better, so I don’t know what you made with the pressure but it was good so we can…


Tim Wright
Charles Pic[39]
OK copy that it’s the same again for next time.
Q1
04:40[40]
Rob Smedley
Felipe Massa[41]
What do you think about the understeer level? Traffic is fine, by the way, while you’re telling me. Hulkenberg on an out lap is the car behind. What do you think about the understeer level?


Felipe Massa[42]
Rob Smedley
I think it’s OK for the other tyres.


Rob Smedley
Felipe Massa[43]
Understood.
Q1
03:34[44]
Guillaume Rocquelin
Sebastian Vettel[45]
Sebastian this lap is probably good enough but I suggest you have another go just to get your eye in. You need a little bit in sector one, for you to work on that.
Q1
03:24[46]
Simon Rennie
Mark Webber[47]
We think it’ll be enough but with the change in the wind we’re not sure. So we want to go for one more timed lap.
Q1
02:55[48]
Jean-Eric Vergne[49]
Phil Charles
Vergne left the pits with his rear barkes locked solid. They quickly caught fire and he pulled over at the exit of the hairpin, causing the session to be red-flagged.
Fire in the brakes on the rear. Rear is on fire, what do I do?


Phil Charles
Jean-Eric Vergne[50]
OK Jev you need to park the car, off the track as far as you can Jev, off the track.
Q1
02:55[51]
Dave Robson
Jenson Button[52]
That is a red flag, red flag.
Q1
02:55
Mark Webber[53]
Simon Rennie
Got turn one and turn two wrong, had a problem with the tear-off. Tear-off shed itself on the straight so I was trying to get rid of that.
Q1
02:55
Ayao Komatsu
Romain Grosjean[54]
So we’re going to go for [hard] tyre. We only got time to do one timed.
Q1
02:55
Tony Ross
Nico Rosberg[55]
Rosberg took up the front of the queue at the pit lane exit waiting for the restart.
So got one minute 20 seconds you’re going to be idling at the end, don’t worry about starts, we just want you to work the tyres straight away to get them up into the window.
Q1
02:00[56]
Dave Robson
Jenson Button[57]
McLaren weighed up whether to send Button out again and decided not to. It proved the right call.
I think we’re basically racing Gutierrez and Sutil. Gutierrez as you said was slow in the first sector. Sutil if he’s going to beat us needs to find more than a second from his [medium] compared to his [hard]. So we’re in the position where everything, all the tools say we should do the safe thing and run. But clearly we’re going to be very, very close.


Jenson Button[58]
Dave Robson
Yeah it’s a difficult decision. Everyone has to get that lap as well which is another thing. Going to be sat around for a little while.


Dave Robson
Jenson Button[59]
Well that’s the thing, I mean yes, it’s going to get very busy out there. OK Jenson so the decision from the pit wall if you’re happy is that we stick this out and we don’t run again.


Jenson Button[60]
Dave Robson
Yeah I agree with that.
Q1
01:11[61]
GianPiero Lambiase
Paul di Resta[62]
So you just get the gap to the car ahead as you need to. We need more than five seconds to the car ahead.
Q1
00:40[63]
Andrew Murdoch
Pastor Maldonado[64]
Keep making space, you’ve still got plenty of time.
Q1
00:22[65]
Rob Smedley
Felipe Massa[66]
OK let them all go, Van der Garde and Pic behind are on out-laps so it doesn’t matter, you just have to queue and go when you can.
Q1
00:00[67]
Tony Ross
Nico Rosberg[68]
Just looking after the tyres.
Q1
00:00
Rob Smedley
Felipe Massa[69]
Massa briefly fell into the drop zone at the end of Q1 so Smedley told him to make sure he completed his last flying lap to ensure he reached Q2.
OK mate lap is fine you should finish the lap but like this is OK.
Q1
00:00
Paul Davison
Jules Bianchi[70]
Bianchi was eliminted after being slowest in Q1.
Well done Jules wasn’t easy. P22, 34.9. Van der Garde did a 34.8, Pic 34.5, Max is P19, did a 34.3.
Q1
00:00
Giedo van der Garde[71]
Juan Pablo Ramirez
The tyres were not there, eh?
Q1
00:00
Gary Gannon
Max Chilton[72]
You are P19. Pic is P20, Giedo’s 21, Jules 22. Amazing Max, brilliant.


Max Chilton[73]
Gary Gannon
Let’s have them tomorrow as well,


Gary Gannon
Max Chilton[74]
That’s the plan buddy! Great job, absolutely brilliant.
Q1
00:00[75]
Brad Joyce
Adrian Sutil[76]
We are out of the session now. That’s us out in 17th I’m afraid.


Adrian Sutil[77]
Brad Joyce
There’s something wrong with the car I think, so, no grip.


Brad Joyce
Adrian Sutil[78]
Copy that, Adrian.
Q1
00:00[79]
Ayao Komatsu
Romain Grosjean[80]
OK, excellent. Box Romain, box.
Q2
12:48[81]
Nico Hulkenberg[82]
Marco Schupbach
Also for the start of the last lap we’ve got to go early, I don’t want to be stuck in traffic.
Q2
11:14[83]
GianPiero Lambiase
Paul di Resta[84]
Box and pit confirm please, Paul. Hard in-lap.
Q2
10:44[85]
Tony Ross
Nico Rosberg[86]
Straight out, brake balance forwards.
Q2
09:42[87]
Rob Smedley
Felipe Massa[88]
Gutierrez has just finished a timed lap on a scrubbed medium so I guess he will be backing off now.
Q2
09:10[89]
Jonathan Eddollls
Valtteri Bottas[90]
So just give yourself a bit more gap to Bottas, he may slow down, he has three more cars immediately in front.
Q2
08:45[91]
Marco Schupbach
Nico Hulkenberg[92]
Nico front wing for new [medium], do you have a feeling?


Nico Hulkenberg[93]
Marco Schupbach
Er, difficult. Maybe only plus one. Not more I think.
