This Is Real Heartbreak For Him…

this is real heartbreak for him…

Oh no they did a summary of Charles’ team radios during the race and I need to share the shit show with you (I’ll do only the team radio part, but the first part is a: charles is frustrated with Xavi and strategists and he’s so right)

Last team radio is my 13th reason.

Lap 1-2/52 - red flag

Leclerc: is my radio on air or private?

Marcos: on air

Leclerc: can you come over to the car then? I have a question about the strategy

Marcos: copy

Lap 11/52 - Verstappen overtakes Sainz and he’s in the lead, Leclerc 3rd

Leclerc: if Carlos is struggling, let’s not waste time

Marcos: copy, understood

Laps 14-20/52 - Verstappen is forced to box, Ferrari 1-2, Sainz is leading

Leclerc: we’re loosing time

Marcos: copy, understood. We need to manage tires in high speed corners. Be careful with the tires please.

Leclerc: yes, but being so close is hard to manage tires. But ok.

Marcos: copy

Leclerc: what do I need to do to… I mean, I’m fucking my race right now

Marcos: copy. I’ll come back to you.

Marcos: Sainz being told target lap time is 32.9

Leclerc: yes but do something then! Please! I… uff… I’m not doing it just for my result. I’m just… I can go faster guys.

Marcos: copy, understood

Marcos: Sainz being told to push

Leclerc: yes, copy. Trying to manage the tires, but I’m loosing time in the race.

Marcos: copy

Marcos: Sainz will box this lap

Leclerc: copy

Lap 28-31/52 - Ferraris in 2nd and 3rd, behind Hamilton who still needs to box

Leclerc: if Carlos can push more we can have a little more margin

Marcos: we’re free to fight. Free to fight.

Marcos: Sainz’s target lap time is 32.2, if not we’ll swap positions

Leclerc: but we’re loosing time compared to Hamilton. 32.2 is not enough. My take. But you decide.

Marcos: copy

Marcos: swap cars in turn 6.

Lap 39-42/52 - Safety car

Marcos: Ocon slowing ahead

Marcos: safety car window closed

Leclerc: even VSC one?

Marcos: yes. Closed. Stay out. Stay out.

Leclerc: copy

Marcos: safety car out. Manage tires. Sainz and Hamilton behind have just boxed

Leclerc: wait, can we still box or it’s too late now?

Marcos: too late now

Marcos: Sainz and Hamilton behind with new softs

Leclerc: copy. It will be hard.

Marcos: we think softs will be half a second faster in the first lap. Then they’re going to suffer from higher degradation

Marcos: Sainz being told his first priority is to defend against Hamilton

Leclerc: for how many laps (you think) soft will be faster?

Marcos: we think just for two laps

Checkered flag

Leclerc: the amount of time we lost in this race is… oh my god. The only good thing today is that Carlos won, but guys… by the way, (YOU) enjoy the race win

Marcos: yes, copy, understood. You’ve done a very good job
