4. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull21:08:03

5. Carlos SAINZMcLaren21:09:52

   Carlos SAINZ: Lap fell very clean guys, for your info.

6. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes21:11:05

   Engineer: So we think the track has improved so we'll take another lap

7. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas21:12:02

9. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes21:14:49

   Lewis HAMILTON: Where

   Engineer: am I?

   Lewis HAMILTON: Where am I down in the middle sector?

   Engineer: There's very little in the middle sector so that voucher has only gone purple by a matter of hundredths. In fact one hundredth. There's anything tiny bit in turn 12 but very small.

10. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes21:15:47

    Lewis HAMILTON: I mean, if I've got the quota, I can just stay out and keep practicing.

    Engineer: So Hamilton bought us in front of Sebastian both of them in medium compound

15. Carlos SAINZMcLaren21:27:32

    Carlos SAINZ: Just one question, do you think the medium runners are going to do a build-up?

    Engineer: Carlos, we think not, if we were going on medium we wouldn't do a build-up, we're just checking what they did earlier in the weekend Yeah, previously they've gone straight to timed lap, we expect them to go straight to timed lap

16. Charles LECLERCFerrari21:32:23

    Engineer: let me know if you can go faster question I

    Charles LECLERC: don't think I can with these tires and I don't think it's good anyway I don't

    Engineer: need

    Charles LECLERC: more mileage so

17. Romain GROSJEANHaas21:33:46

    Romain GROSJEAN: I can't go any faster. That's all the task can give me.

18. Daniel RICCIARDORenault21:33:59

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Yeah, didn't feel as much of a peak on that run, so I felt like I was working the tyres a bit harder. Front wasn't ready for turn one.

19. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes21:37:52

    Engineer: Bit

    Lewis HAMILTON: limiter is oscillating massively. OK, copy.

20. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull21:41:43

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Louis this is all so this problem this what's happening

21. Romain GROSJEANHaas21:42:37

    Romain GROSJEAN: that out lap was a joke that out lap was a joke that completely me what was that strategy we couldn't be aware of it

    Engineer: i

    Romain GROSJEAN: don't know i don't want you to start the lap with the tire not even at 90 degrees

22. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas21:43:03

    Engineer: Good job, Kevin. Really good. We'll take it. We'll make what we can of it tomorrow.

    Daniel RICCIARDO: OK, nice, good job.

24. Lando NORRISMcLaren21:44:14

    Engineer: Yep, well done, nice work. Right head down let's concentrate on Q3 now.

25. Nico HULKENBERGRenault21:44:43

    Engineer: We might be through into Q3 because our other cars may be getting lap times disqualified, so we just need to be prepared for Q3.

26. Pierre GASLYRed Bull21:53:22

    Engineer: We had a big gust of wind, we had a big gust of wind in this lap, clear from data, we lost a lot of loads.

27. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes21:55:23

    Engineer: And guess who's on pole? Yes! Indeed. Valtteri, congratulations, mega.

30. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull22:04:50

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Hard luck mate, that was really good effort. Anyway, it's still a good result, but I just felt like in Q3 it completely went away from us in terms of grip. Anyway, good starting position.

    Engineer: Yeah, good effort Max, it's massively tight out there, so decent starting grip for tomorrow, so good effort, good job. Yeah, exactly, two more rudder points.

31. Pierre GASLYRed Bull22:05:23

    Engineer: charge on charge on okay I'm afraid that won't be enough we are pitting looks like the rear axle was quite difficult

32. Charles LECLERCFerrari22:05:49

    Charles LECLERC: I've lost so much in those trains, especially now without the slipstream, anyway, fourth

    Engineer: Copy, we will check all the data, you've done a good job

33. Sebastian VETTELFerrari22:06:11

    Engineer: Yeah, I was saying I lost a bit on turn one and then maybe tried a bit too hard in the middle section Yeah, and I asked a bit too much from the rear I think in the first run there was definitely margin in the high speed in turn 19 Yeah, but I didn't I want Yeah, I wanted to make sure that I'm not getting caught, you know, so I left some margin for the last run But yeah Yeah, okay. It was well 100s. I mean Okay, anyways, grazie a tutti. Thank you. We have the insight tomorrow

34. Alexander ALBONRed Bull22:06:29

    Engineer: Yeah, well done Alex, you're getting closer, well done. Yep, thank you. And just for info Alex, on that last time lap you just dropped off the red and white kerb, so your last lap was deleted, but still P6 with a faster first lap.

35. Daniel RICCIARDORenault22:07:38

    Engineer: Think it will be P9 mate. Nice job. Okay.
