EngineerLet's keep working boys, only the first one, only the first one. Apologies. Let's find some more. You're five hundredths, five hundredths off Ocon mate. Good job dude, good job.
Romain GROSJEANAwww.
EngineerThese tie attempts are good checker
EngineerUrgent. Default 17. Default 17. Do I continue? All good? Yep. All good from now. I can't. I've lost too much time. Yeah, no. It's cool. But everything's fine with the car. Watch out for Carlos behind. 4 seconds back. Behind Carlos is Perez. 11 seconds back. Do I have to box or can I go again? You need to box. Perez. 4 seconds back. Copy.
Charles LECLERCLook here, there is no broken thing on the right hand side.
EngineerCopy, we are checking.
EngineerSo check our slow round 10-7, the fronts are just coming into a good window and you have one more big brake and it'll be go one, go one. So we need one more good brake.
EngineerJust a hundredth with that last lap.
Valtteri BOTTASYes, guys
Max VERSTAPPENSo what's up?
EngineerSo that's P3. Bottas had an issue around turn 45. Hamilton at 2.9, he remains in P2. That's you P3 on a 3.4. Norris behind you 3.6. Alex P5 and Perez P6. Nice effort.
Max VERSTAPPENYeah, not bad, not bad. Different tyres for tomorrow as well. So looking forward to that.
EngineerYeah, good job mate. Yeah, good job Max. As you say, with a different tyre for tomorrow, that's pretty decent. Well done. Just watch out for signs. I know you're slightly negative, but he's in your way. You're OK.
Max VERSTAPPENI followed him on the pit entry, but all good. I'm on the track.
EngineerUnderstood.
Max VERSTAPPENIt's been a while, you know.
EngineerOkay Carlos, finished P8, finished P8, so you're ahead of Stroll and Ricciardo. Finishing order, Bottas, Hamilton, Verstappen, Lando, Albon, Perez, Leclerc, yourself, Stroll, Ricciardo.
Carlos SAINZYeah, sorry guys, I had a poor report. Anyway, peace out.
EngineerCarlos, it was a good qualifying session generally, good steps through the last few corners, through the high speed, through qualifying. I don't think you should be too upset with that. Starting P8 tomorrow, we can have a good race from there.
EngineerDon't block people Ricciardo, rejoin safely, rejoin safely. Yeah, just cutting some grass here.
Daniel RICCIARDOI don't know why there was a yellow. There was a yellow in two corners for nothing.
EngineerOkay, Bottas had gone off turn 5-6.
Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, he stayed on the track. That was ****.
Alexander ALBONWhen we do a slow out lap like that, the tyres are nowhere to turn on.
EngineerThat's a compromise of trying to get a bit of a tow versus them being screwed on tyre temps.
Alexander ALBONYeah, that's
Engineerwhat
Alexander ALBONI meant by getting a gap, I mean I wanted to, yeah.
Daniel RICCIARDOI don't know why there was a yellow. There was a yellow in two corners for nothing. OK,
Engineerthat was Bottas who had gone off turn 5-6. That's a bit unlucky there mate.
Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, he stayed on the track. That was ******. He wasn't off.
EngineerOK, understood mate. That's unlucky there. Still a P10 and you need to speed up a bit please. You need to be just negative on the delta.
