The Worst Things Jeff Says to You

[USPBauer24 90]

Thought we could share the voice lines from Jeff -or anyone else - that really grind our gears.

Upon failing the quali practice, I simply hate it when he says "Well..."

[Krisperfectline 63]

 Da answer is: NO HEROICS INTO SAINT DEVOTE PLEASE!!! 

[JonnyHoonit 20]

As it starts to rain or dry out "The best tyre choice is an interesting one". No Jeff, it's not an interesting question it's a critical race decision.  We're not sat there with a glass of port in front of a fire place debating the merits of rubber types.

[FTBuzzard 79]

Actually jeff doesn't say anything that bad, but the commentators sometimes say stupid things. As a female driver you are very often addressed as "he".

[mantazzo 101]

So far, I think the most annoying thing Jeff says was in every start: "After the points finish last weekend, let's aim for another Top 10 finish" Bloody hell, I'm a front-runner car, I fight for wins, and you expect only a P10 for me? And not to mention this happens more or less every race... Say something more for once please.

[DRT-Apophis 102]

After getting into Q2 and 15th in the starting grid with my teammate in 20th.

"Tough luck there, it's not quite where we wanted to be in qualifying."

Jeff, we're not Brawn GP, this is my first season bro (almost wanna break his neck lol).

Jeff alongside and beeing Kimi engineer i would love it to see" hey leave me alone i know what I have to do " 🤣🤣

[GnrDreagon 83]

Lap 33/34

Jeff: 'A new strategy is available on your MFD.'

But the worst one is: 'We're changing your strategy, we have to put you on new tyres.' No Jeff, you don't. Thanks to you I now have to actually remember when I was supposed to pit and manually change the tyre selection again.

[dshepsman 67]

Jeff: you’re running low on fuel. Box within 2 laps. 
me: I’m sitting in the garage...

jeff: remember, if you don’t use the pit assist you’ll need to be careful when entering the pits. 
me: yes Jeff. This is my 3rd season. 
 

jeff (on warm up lap): no rain forecast. 
me: I know. Radar is clear, and there’s a bright blue sky with zero clouds. 

 

im sure there’s others but can’t think right now

The no rain forecast always hits me the hardest.

"Radar is clear, no rain expected for the time being😉"

"Jeff, we're in the desert, you drank too much beer yesterday?"

This is one of the worst. You won or got on the podium last weekend and he says well done on the points finish. An immersion killer.

I've had rain in Abu Dhabi so it's not that weird.

I don't understand why he can't just say "A new strategy [...] mediums, lap 16." It takes away the whole point of audio information if it's to only inform you of visual information.

This works fine. Besides saving on voice lines, I'm mostly tuning him out anyway. Him telling you there is a new strategy is efficient enough to draw your attention to the MFD. And you still have to confirm the strategy so you still have to look. I just wish he always asks me for the new strategy, not just change it on his own sometimes. "Yes Jeff, I realize I should've started on the softs instead of mediums but telling me at the race start to come in for softs and putting me on a 2 stop strategy is NOT the way to go in this race."

What about Jeff telling rain is expected in around 10 to 15 minutes while being in the last lap?
What about Jeff warning you there is fuel for one lap when sitting in the garage?

Don.t you find it stupid?

i don't think it's stupid, because what jeff says has no effect on me.
Yes, it is strange that he says something about the tire status when you ask about the weather, but i can also deal without this info.

[vitch 1]

Jeff “If you put it on pole, I’ll be waiting in the back of garage only wearing wellies”

Yep had that. End of Q3 less than 30 seconds left - This rain will continue for another 10 minutes

A team radio between Jeff and Kimi Raikkonen would be good to hear! 😀

Jeff: "Kimi, check you MFD for..."

Kimi: "FOR WHAT??!!" 

Jeff: "Ice-cream selection, Kimi."

Kimi: "Give me the steering wheel then!! Hey!! STEERING WHEEL!!!"

Jeff: "Yes Kimi, we're putting the blanket on."

I hate when Jeff tells me I can't run high fuel while Im on the last lap with 3 turns to go.

To add to that you’re a lap down and in high mode with half a lap left, technically have 1 and a half laps left

[hsf 24]

Jeff: Ok battery charge is high, lets use the overtake button more.

Me: Jeff, it's my 4th season... I've got all of the ERS upgrades from my R&D tree and there are limits set by the FIA, to prevent unfair usage. Go play with some bolts or something.

Additionally, when selecting 'Engineer quiet' on the MFD, it should play an audio file of Kimi shouting "SHUT UP I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!"

There are tracks on which it's very hard to start scrolling and looking at what kind of strategies Jeff is proposing, as the time window is only 30 seconds. Tracks like Monaco, Hungary and Singapore are so intense that there are parts of the track where I can't simply take my eyes off the road for a long enough time to see what's up. Many other tracks also have ~30 second sections where I find it difficult, especially when racing other cars.
