  9. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes11:25:240:24

    EngineerAngalusa P3, Vettel P2, Leclerc P1, Leclerc still with that 42.6

    Lewis HAMILTONEqual over all the sectors or?

    EngineerIt's mainly middle sector to Leclerc So it's just half a tenth of sector 1 and a couple of hundredths sector 3, so in the middle, half a second

  10. Carlos SAINZMcLaren11:27:450:10

    EngineerSo, your P13, Roman's P16, yeah, I don't know what you think, what's the main thing we can help you with on the car?

    Kevin MAGNUSSENDon't really know, I think it feels good, it's surprising we're so

    Engineerfar down. Well, we have some stuff, and I think that if you had the decent temps on the first push, then you would get the new tyre effect, so I think if we just get you a better out lap and a clean first lap, then I'm sure there's a lot of lap time in that.

  14. Robert KUBICAWilliams11:36:130:25

    EngineerBut we'll take a cool down there just maintain front temperature go back to engine mode 3 engine mode 3
