EngineerMagnusson's ahead on same tyres as you, both has the same tyres as you.

EngineerI guess obviously it's going to be quite a fast out lap.

Charles LECLERCWhen you took off the screen of the car, the left screen switched off, so just make sure everything is fine, so when I come back I have data.

EngineerCopy, we'll check.

EngineerMain losses, minimum speed turn 2, minimum speed turn 11. You also had the magic enabled turn 11.

Romain GROSJEANOkay, there's just no grip. Don't know why.

EngineerOk Carlos, that's P5, so that's a decent start. There's still two and a half tenths to find in sector one on a second attempt.

Engineerand we should try to improve braking turn one and turn seven

EngineerCurrently P2, no traffic behind, Lewis P3, 26.6, Verstappen P1, 26.3

Alexander ALBONI heard a big misfire outside 10-7 OK, we'll have a look

EngineerDo you have any major need to run again, Max? Otherwise, we're happy for you to box. No, no, all good.

Max VERSTAPPENCan we check my headrest again? Because it feels like I'm laying again a bit more in the car.

EngineerAny comments on balance please, Esteban?

Esteban OCONYeah, the car is very much rolling still at the moment, it is completely on the nose.

EngineerOkay, understood. Okay, Esteban, apparently Daniel making similar comments on his car as well.

EngineerThat's a good lap. That's a good lap

EngineerKatani, nobody is pushing behind, this is in lap 4 for us.

Daniil KVYATOk, I get a bit of understeer in some places, like turn 2 a bit, turn 7 and 10, 11.

EngineerThe

Daniil KVYATonly place with unstable rear is with chicane and first corner.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerSo we'll be go one go one Magnuson five behind

EngineerSo currently you are ahead of one lap ahead of the flag but only by 15 seconds. I think this track position is good

Pierre GASLYWhat do you think about that?

EngineerIt was a good lap, yeah, it was a good lap I

Pierre GASLYdon't know if we should push again

EngineerStill no threats behind. You're in good shape.

EngineerStill no threats behind your ink. Okay, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, recharge off.

EngineerSee if you can brake later for turn 5 and 7. Maintain front brake temp.

George RUSSELLNo good enough, no good enough.

EngineerKeep looking after the fuel, Carlos. Delta negative close to zero is good. Carlos, we're safely through. P14. And we're boxed this lap.

Carlos SAINZYes, change one. I'm having to push a lot in the out lap and I think I'm getting quite a lot of epic out of it. I don't know. Help me.

EngineerOK, copy.

EngineerTime to gain is exit turn 11 and exit of 14. Yeah,

Daniel RICCIARDOunderstood.

EngineerUnfortunately, Nico, we're not through, I'm afraid, mate. We needed half a... Well, four tenths. Four tenths. Good job, mate. Good job.

EngineerOkay dude, I'm afraid we're P16, P16

Romain GROSJEANHave you got the video from the first lap please? I really want to make sure that there's not at least one wheel at the time that is okay Yep,

Engineerwe'll review it mate

Romain GROSJEANWell don't review, Q2 is about to start So we

Engineerheard back from the FIA they have reviewed it and they've decided that it was definitely over

Romain GROSJEANOkay, I am sorry boys, **** jumped by me

EngineerOk, P17, we are out, I'm afraid.

EngineerIf we go recharge on just before turn 8 please Max. Let's try to hit zero on the fronts.

EngineerRight make a gap here, make a gap here, make a gap here, make a gap here. Don't worry about cars behind.

EngineerYou need to go, you need to go. Botass is coming. I could not for f**k's sake. Ok, go now then.

Engineerokay Delta keep it negative Delta keep it negative charging away in all cars behind are in phase

EngineerSo there's a potential race start set to look after it look after it don't oversleep it

Daniil KVYATI think for the USTAR it wasn't too far away, I think we should apply the delta we talked about and

Engineersome

Daniil KVYATwashout in 10-11 also, so...

EngineerOK Esteban, so currently the cut-off is expected to be 26.4, so even though we're P5, you and Norris are both going to have to run again we think.

Lando NORRISThat's

Engineera

Lando NORRISbreak for the alpha

EngineerVATRA, we are completing that LAVON software completely, copy,

Valtteri BOTTASand

Engineerthe other car will do the same

EngineerGo, go, go, go, please. Go now.

EngineerBox, box, box, no cars behind, look after those tyres, there's some gravel, exit 10-11.

EngineerOk Esteban, so you're in a great position now, obviously Daniel trying to do a hard out lap as well. Got Bottas in front of him on a slow lap, but I think he's coming in.

EngineerIs Hamilton going to do another lap? Hamilton will box this lap.

EngineerOK, recharge on please Max, recharge on, keep your, sorry, slow button on, recharge off, this is your race start set, so look after it on the way in.

EngineerOpus line, charge on, charge on, follow delta, minus on target, minus on target.

Antonio GIOVINAZZICopy that.

EngineerGood job Antonio, we are P14, good job.

Sebastian VETTELHow much did we miss it, how much, how much did we miss it?

Engineer4 cents, it's a 26.3 off on P10, charge button off, and follow the reference.

EngineerAnd these used tires a little cool out of the blankets so good pace on this out that make the most of being the first car

EngineerAnd Ocon and Ricciardo, they are with Scrap Tyres.

EngineerAn awkward

EngineerLook after the fuel, delta negative and close to zero.

EngineerBox box, that's P1, Lewis 25.8, so keep temperature in the brakes.

Daniel RICCIARDOOkay, yeah, that was a few mistakes, so

Engineerit wasn't very representative. Yeah, no worries, no worries. Let's focus on the next one.

Daniel RICCIARDOOkay, yeah, there was a few mistakes, so it wasn't very representative. Yeah, no worries, no worries. Let's focus on the next one.

EngineerSimon to Harry, we'll add back in on the rear tyres please, we'll put 0.4 back in on the rear tyres please, please confirm.

Sergio PEREZA lot of oversteer.

EngineerA

Sergio PEREZlot of oversteer in the track.

EngineerYeah, copy. The wind had picked up, Checo. The wind had picked up.

EngineerWe suggest b-bar 6 please, b-bar 6.

EngineerPull toggle for turn 1 and recharge off when you are ready. Temperatures and track position are good.

EngineerP10, we're P10, save fuel, and H9 position 14, white H9 position 14.

EngineerGood job, man. P1, baby. P1.

Valtteri BOTTASOh, yes.

EngineerThank

Valtteri BOTTASyou. Enjoyed

Engineerit. Three purple sectors. Good job.

Valtteri BOTTASNice one. Thanks.

Max VERSTAPPENI just didn't have the grip in Q3

EngineerOK Lewis, so that's currently P2, we've got Valtteri P1, Verstappen P3 Verstappen P3 So we're P2, Verstappen P3 How

Lewis HAMILTONfar was I down?

EngineerSo 2.5 tenths are down to Valtteri In terms of sectors, it's mainly sector 1, tenth and a half there

EngineerThat's a good effort though Max, so P3, two tenths off, so pretty decent effort and well set for tomorrow.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, exactly, not bad.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I don't know where that lap time went, anyway, I feel like in this coil it's been a bit of a struggle, so something to look into. Carl

EngineerScree, we'll look into it afterwards.

EngineerLooks like the track might have got a little bit slower in Q3 compared to Q2, possibly from the wind.

Lando NORRISYeah, it doesn't matter. Everyone's in the same position, so...

EngineerNice job Esteban. Currently P5, ahead of both McLarens. Fantastic. Yes! That's more, and Albon. Watching Albon. Albon is going to beat us unfortunately.

Esteban OCONCopy.

EngineerBut Daniel 26.22, yourself 26.24. Do you believe that? I have 2-0 on the dash.

Esteban OCONAlright, good effort guys. With the little mileage we have, it's good. Yeah, absolutely.

EngineerUnfortunately it looks like Leclerc is probably going to beat us as well Esteban. He's pretty damn quick in sector 2. So it does look like we're going to be 6th and 7th I'm afraid. Let's see what he does. Alright,

Esteban OCONyeah, we're signing for that.

EngineerYeah, Leclerc went P4 so he's faster than Albon. But anyway, I'm very pleased Esteban, very pleased with that. Good job mate.

Esteban OCONYeah, good job guys. It wasn't straightforward to start with, but it came to us nicely. Absolutely, absolutely.

EngineerI'd like to say we intended that, but it was great. Yeah, always. Well done mate.
