EngineerRock on one second. That
Nico HULKENBERGwas a great track position man.
EngineerAnd then Hartley now two seconds behind.

EngineerCopy that, Nico.
Sebastian VETTELNo, I mean, this is ridiculous what these guys are doing. I have to box.

EngineerOkay, Stoffel, that is P15. P15, you are 9 milliseconds behind Fernando.
Stoffel VANDOORNEOkay, well, I guess we know that considered, I think we more or less made the maximum of what we had today. It's a shame not to be more competitive, but yeah, that's what it is.
EngineerOK, Fernando, we've finished in P14, P14.

Brendon HARTLEYYeah, it got me. Last corner, fortunately. Lost a couple of tenths. But anyway, good effort, guys. Thank you.
EngineerYep, it's confirmed, P11, P11, two 10s from P10. I think it's not a bad place to be to start tomorrow.
Kevin MAGNUSSENYeah, not too unhappy with that mate, no free fish and chips tonight, but at least a free choice of tiles tomorrow.
EngineerBox, Kevin, box, I saved some money at least.
EngineerSo compared to Valtteri, it's half a tenth in sectors 1 and 2. I know it is, buddy. I know it is.
Nico HULKENBERGDo you want to put me in a different track position?
EngineerWe'll do what we can Nico.
