EngineerOk, Robert, we're fessed out.

EngineerSo you can lean on the tyres a bit, lean on the tyres, tyre temp on the lower side. You'll need to sink 8th gear down the back straight, sink 8th gear down the back straight and then a good braking into turn 10, good braking into turn 10.

EngineerLet's go. Okay, Kimi, you will have nobody behind, only Antonio in phase with you, obviously.

EngineerOK, Nico, front wing's coming off.

EngineerSo I got a yellow turn 4, Niko has gone off the yellow turn 4 with a boat to slap

EngineerWatch for some debris at turns four and five. Debris turns four and five.

Lewis HAMILTONI go in second today.

EngineerThanks Ben.

EngineerOk Carlos, good lap, that is P4 at the moment, currently P4, 10 cars have set laps, suggest to box this lap, box this lap, well we have to box this lap Yeah,

Carlos SAINZtraffic with Hamilton in the last sector, lost maybe 1 tenth, 2 tenths

EngineerCopy

EngineerA lot of traffic on my lap Copy that Lewis, so we'll box the end of the lap, we're happy with that time So P3 just two and a half tenths off Valtteri P1 And dish magic off Ferrari got in the way, turn 4

Lewis HAMILTONCopy,

Engineerlook out

EngineerAnd in the pit lane there will be a torque change in the pit lane?

EngineerSo to Valtteri, nine hundredths up on sector one, it's three tenths in the middle sector, zero final sector, so I think it's mainly the traffic, turns four five.

EngineerOk Kimi, so no threat from behind, we suggest to go up on different tree

EngineerFocus on recharge where possible please Niko, and keep 7th gear, we will be doing another lap. Quite

Nico HULKENBERGa lot of understeer, high medium speed.

EngineerCopy that Niko, scenario 6 please, and SOC 5.

Lewis HAMILTONJust check everything is good with the floor on both sides

EngineerCopy, will be

EngineerOkay, I'm afraid we are out of qualifying, Nico.

George RUSSELLThanks once again everyone to get the car ready and apologies for a bit of a freak.

Robert KUBICAI don't know what happened, but I have massive oversteer, I lost the car into turn 4, into turn 7, felt very weird.

EngineerYeah, copy that.

EngineerSeeing our Ferrari right behind.

EngineerSo Leclerc one second behind Vettel seven seconds behind Valtteri seven ahead

EngineerThe car will be a bit neutral with the tires.

Charles LECLERCI lost something, what did you say? At first, I lost something, I think.

EngineerOk, we are checking the data, come back to you.

Charles LECLERCI had quite a lot of understand the last sector.

Daniel RICCIARDOokay so it wasn't particularly good putting it nicely

EngineerThe biggest delta across cars is turn one and turn four. Maybe we can do a little bit of flap off and then a little bit less rear temp so you can go a little slower in the last sector on the outlap.

EngineerOkay, still in sync with everyone. How's the balance? What do you think about flap?

Kevin MAGNUSSENYeah, just a bit oversteer, more than Q1, so. Okay.

EngineerI

Daniel RICCIARDOcould still add another little bit of front wing.

EngineerOK, understood.

Nico HULKENBERGDamn, I'm sorry about that guys. I've actually hit 10th, but we struggle to hang on to it in the final sector with the rears dropping off.

EngineerYeah, copy that Nico. Tomorrow's another day.

Nico HULKENBERGGood luck.

EngineerCopy that.

Engineertarget one sixteen point nine

Charles LECLERCTell me whatever you see of loss, tell me, so I know exactly how to push and I don't overpush. Tell me anything you know from the pit wall from now until I push.

EngineerOkay, will do.

EngineerOK, you're P10, Q3, well done!

Daniel RICCIARDONice boys, nice!

EngineerDani, are you happy to stay on the plan used and then new for Q3?

Daniil KVYATYes, because the used tire is still pretty good.

EngineerOkay Lando, we finished P11, finished P11 and box this lap, box this lap. We got pipped just at the very end there. Mate, you should be very, very pleased to be honest. That was a good effort in qualifying there.

Alexander ALBONSorry guys

EngineerOk Carlos, we've finished P13, cars eliminated are Lando, Albon, yourself, Raikkonen and Perez.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I'm sorry guys, not our day.

EngineerIt's ok Carlos, our day is tomorrow.

EngineerJust keep dropping time, keep dropping time, plenty of space behind. Back is full.

EngineerBehind you, Hamilton is just starting a time-lapse. He might come close to you at the end of the lap.

EngineerOK, let's say box-box, I've got traffic with Ricciardo, 2 seconds, then Grosjean 5. You

Lewis HAMILTONtold me really late about Ricciardo.

Max VERSTAPPENThere's a lot of gravel out of 12 into 13.

EngineerHow was the balance?

Max VERSTAPPENIt was ok, same.

EngineerOk, front wing?

Max VERSTAPPENWe leave it.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerEven that the track is ramping up in terms of temps, suggestion is to back off more in the third sector. I'll leave it to you to judge more. Yeah, OK, copy. Like now it was perfect in terms of gap, so... Yeah, the last one was very good. Go for a repeat. Yeah, even two, three seconds less than that is still OK.

EngineerAll the cars around you will be on an outlap.

EngineerJust look out for gravel in this region

EngineerSo waiting for the undercast to finish.

EngineerAnd your pole position, three on the trot, well done mate. Yeah guys.

Sebastian VETTELOk guys, sorry for the second run, I had quite a different balance to the first one, quite a big difference between the two sets, but it was important to squeeze out everything. Grazie a tutti, vediamo domani, facciamo una bella gara, dai!
