EngineerWind direction is the same as the monic.

George RUSSELLA lot of rear surfers overheating

EngineerTen cars have set times at the moment and we're currently P2

Max VERSTAPPENI have again vibrations on these tires. It's insane. Again, I guess a similar mistake as last time.

Carlos SAINZLap fell very clean guys, for your info.

EngineerYeah, looked like a good lap Carlos. There's a couple of things we can find but it's definitely a good lap to start, well done.

EngineerSo we think the track has improved so we'll take another lap

Kevin MAGNUSSENI just want the same balance, so try and match it.

EngineerOkay, understood, yeah. We'll do our best with the track improvement, yeah.

George RUSSELLStill struggling a bit, turn 15 over rotation.

Lewis HAMILTONWhere

Engineeram I?

Lewis HAMILTONWhere am I down in the middle sector?

EngineerThere'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.

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

EngineerYou have time available, so we're happy for you to take one more.

EngineerVery good lap, P4 now.

Pierre GASLYWhat lap time did Norris?

Engineer33.4, 33.4, our lap time 33.5.

EngineerWe're out, we're out.

EngineerCurrently P1, I'll let you know. And we are safely through to Q2. And doing a good job, keep doing what you're doing.

EngineerSo Hamilton bought us in front of Sebastian both of them in medium compound

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

EngineerCarlos, 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

Engineerlet me know if you can go faster question I

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

Engineerneed

Charles LECLERCmore mileage so

Romain GROSJEANI can't go any faster. That's all the task can give me.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, 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.

EngineerBit

Lewis HAMILTONlimiter is oscillating massively. OK, copy.

Max VERSTAPPENLouis this is all so this problem this what's happening

Romain GROSJEANthat 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

Engineeri

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

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

EngineerOK, nice one, that's P9, Q3, nice job.

Daniel RICCIARDOOK, nice, good job.

Lando NORRISNice Joe.

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

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

EngineerWe 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.

Lewis HAMILTONHow much am I down?

EngineerCurrently at P5, Valtteri P1, 3 tenths ahead.

Max VERSTAPPENAren't we a bit early?

EngineerAnd guess who's on pole? Yes! Indeed. Valtteri, congratulations, mega.

Max VERSTAPPENHard 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.

EngineerYeah, 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.

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

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

EngineerCopy, we will check all the data, you've done a good job

EngineerYeah, 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

EngineerYeah, 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.

EngineerThink it will be P9 mate. Nice job. Okay.

Daniel RICCIARDONice. Okay, don't forget. Thanks guys

EngineerHold on, Carlos. P7. We're P7. Good job, mate. Be good starting from there tomorrow. If they get close, how close? Just over three-tenths, Carlos. I think we nailed two laps, guys. Congrats. Let's do it from here tomorrow. Yeah, well done. It's been a good afternoon today. Let's do our homework and we'll put a good result out tomorrow as well. Yeah. Good job, Adrian. Adriano. Also, these ones on you. Good effort from P3. Thanks, mate. Great job today. Let's bring it into tomorrow as well.
