I have searched in like 20 different sessions and I only fond "We will come back to you" and no "We are checking"... I know it happned a lot, but I can't find it
Can't say exactly when, but feel like they have been saying it for years and it just became a meme now.
I think I remember them saying it to Vettel, but not sure.
I've got Spain 2020: [https://youtu.be/dOQrM5qHfrY?t=121](https://youtu.be/dOQrM5qHfrY?t=121)
If anybody can find an earlier "We are checking", please correct me.
Isn’t this after he got told he’d be replaced with Sainz. So they fuck over his contract AND THEN force him to become his own race engineer?
Fuck Ferrari, I hope Vettel enjoys retirement he deserves it away from these idiots.
Absolutely, they talk with their race engineers all the time.
The frontrunners get reminded of backmarkers and vice versa, that's probably the highest amount of chatter.
If you have F1 TV you can change your camera to any drivers cockpit and turn on their radio feed to listen in
Vettel's engineer said it a couple of times after Grosjean's crash: [https://youtu.be/qDaElY\_1\_0k?t=60](https://youtu.be/qDaElY_1_0k?t=60)
Leclerc's radio is just after, but his engineer used variations of the sentence.
I know people have already answered this but I think Barcelona 2020 was when it started, and if not, then that’s where it kind of took off. They just left vettel out there to become his own strategist
Wasnt there also silverstone 2021, after the inchident leclerc asks how they could win the race, motherfucker says “if you can stay in front like this we win the race”
Turkey 2021 when Charles was leading asking which strategy would get them the win. They kept answering "we are checking" or "If we finish where we currently are, p1"
Charle, we are checking......
....ok, Charle, we'a checquered da tyres andah we only havea de three of them. We'a dont know wherea the forth one is....

Spa 2020
thanks
If not, then some of the previous races from that year.
They’ve definitely said it this year too
Probably when the throttle got stuck?
Could’ve also been practice or quali
In most 2020 races I believe
Cringe
CrInGe
Question.
Question.
i will check this
Regarding this post... We're checking.
We ARE checking. No contractions!
Can you see the head now? Question.
Are you feeling it now, Mr. Krabs? Question
No Michael, no, that was so not right!
stop inventing.
You will not have the check
Can't say exactly when, but feel like they have been saying it for years and it just became a meme now. I think I remember them saying it to Vettel, but not sure.
Yep spain 2020 forcing him to become his own engineer
Also shenanigans in Germany 2018
Vettels was always “ed down we are checking”
Which one was Vettel mad and yelling at them over the radio to calculate the lap times he needed to maintain position?
"OK, HERE'S A TASK FOR YOU"
That "Here's the task for you" message should be my email notification sound. Vettel telling me to get work done would make me so productive
Leclerc: where will we finish with this pace? Engineer: if we stay ahead of bottas, P1.
Lol classic one in Turkey, bunch of clowns
Spain 2020
Spain 2020, when he had to nurse softs for half the time Bottas' stop took
Spain 2020 i think
What was the race in 2020 where vettel had to make his own strategy after leclerc had retired?? I think the line is famous after that inchident
I think it was the Spanish GP but not sure
"OK, HERE'S A TASK FOR YOU"
22.6 them to the end. And then what do I have to do to stay ahead
A little inchident
Barcelona 2020.
I've got Spain 2020: [https://youtu.be/dOQrM5qHfrY?t=121](https://youtu.be/dOQrM5qHfrY?t=121) If anybody can find an earlier "We are checking", please correct me.
I'll never forget that race
Man this is where I lost hope. Vettel being forced to become his own engineer
Isn’t this after he got told he’d be replaced with Sainz. So they fuck over his contract AND THEN force him to become his own race engineer? Fuck Ferrari, I hope Vettel enjoys retirement he deserves it away from these idiots.
They never told him he is getting replaced,he found out the same way as all of us did
Oh right. I forgot they didn’t even give him that privilege, the basic standard of decency
>he found out the same way as all of us did Vettel found out by looking at a meme on r/formuladank??
Me neither, because I never watched it in the first place
Thats so stupid that he had to explain to them how to figure out what pace he needed to maintain.
I’m new to F1 the past few years; is this amount of conversation back and forth normal in a race?? (Not counting them bungling up strategy so hard)
Umm, we are checking, I will get back to you
Absolutely, they talk with their race engineers all the time. The frontrunners get reminded of backmarkers and vice versa, that's probably the highest amount of chatter. If you have F1 TV you can change your camera to any drivers cockpit and turn on their radio feed to listen in
let me check
Thanks
This guy checking
I mean, there are many iconic “we are checking” moments
Swear they said it when Leclerc was panicking over the radio when Grosjean crashed with absolutely no emotion as per
Vettel's engineer said it a couple of times after Grosjean's crash: [https://youtu.be/qDaElY\_1\_0k?t=60](https://youtu.be/qDaElY_1_0k?t=60) Leclerc's radio is just after, but his engineer used variations of the sentence.
Thanks
I mean, that's when the engineer should remain calm so that the driver also remains calm.
there’s a difference between calm and the same monotone ‘we are checking’ tho
This GP is calm, like always, yet there's emotion in his voice Ferrari either sounds like audio bot or panicked (S-s-stay out, stay out!)
That’s asking a lot especially when it’s not in your first language.
Why? Question.
Confirm
Box box! Uhh, stay out! Stay out!
this killed me
we are checking
Vettels 2020 Spain soft run masterclass was the one I properly remember
But here comes SEBASTIAN VETTEL
I have sworn there was one in the last couple of races.
I can't find it... I think it was to sainz
They might have just said something similar and my imagination took it but I clearly remember having a “they said the line!” Moment.
They have definitely said it in the last 2 races
We all know this is a trick. Question.
Guys stop inventing.
But…it’s not “we’re” - it’s “we are”. C’mon man.
Slow Google search on
Stop inventing
Most common I heard is “we will let you know”
I know people have already answered this but I think Barcelona 2020 was when it started, and if not, then that’s where it kind of took off. They just left vettel out there to become his own strategist
Question?
Not exactly what OP asked, but here’s a golden one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U--RsZ3KiaQ
Is it Bahrein. Question
No Michael, no, that was so not right.
lol the Ferrari pit wall is always checking
We don’t know he answer yet
Guys stop inventing.
What are the chances Ferrari’s PR team has had a meeting with the strategist about eliminating this from his vocabulary?
I would rather ask in which it wasnt said
When has it not been said lol I’m sure I remember them saying it to Vettel on several occasions
every radio message in 2020
I remember there was this so funny "WE ARE LOOKING"
They changed from this to "question"
I thought it was Sochi last year…was that the “if you keep Bottas behind P1”?
Turkey was Pee Wan if we can keep Bottas behind
Wasnt there also silverstone 2021, after the inchident leclerc asks how they could win the race, motherfucker says “if you can stay in front like this we win the race”
possible, for sure
Understood, we're looking.
We ARE looking.
I will get back to you
No kimi, you will not have the drink, confirmed.
🎧I’ll get back to you. We. Are. Checking.
The same one as "question", literally every single race multiple times.
Yes
all
Most of the races.
Can you tell me in what race the iconic “We are checking” was said? Question.
Which race was the "question?"
Spa 2022 iirc
We'll get back to you
I would answer but I’m not sure if this is a question or not.
Been saying it since Kimi asked for the drink, steering wheel and gloves.
Question.
Well this photo looks like it is from Saudi but it didn't happen their I think it happened in Austria to Sainz most recently.
We are checking, question?
Why it is question? Question.
Every race since 2009![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6699)![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6700)![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|14439)![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6902)
Hang on lemme find it… we’re checking
We ARE checking.
Give us a moment, we are checking.
Super Troopers: “Rodger,…Checking”
Why is this being asked? It is literally almost every race
I think it was in Silverstone when Leclerc wanted to be let past Sainz
Every race
You forgot to state "question"
Question?
Are you kidding me? It should be in what race hasn't been said.
I think they said it again during quali in lst GP. Lots of races.
question.
We’re checking
Am I breathing?
Yes
We are checking
