EngineerIt's not quite green yet, Kevin. Not quite green yet, so it's about seven seconds. Watch the pit exit light.

EngineerFocus on that front left. 10, 3, 6, 11, 12. Focus on front left. 3, 6.

Charles LECLERCD-FIN was always in zero, or let me know if I changed something.

EngineerShould be plus one.

Engineerso next car pushing is still 17 seconds back that is Latifi so there will be a bit of bunching towards the end

Engineerokay you're good on tyre temp good on brake temp we go one go one

Pierre GASLYI have my steering, which is very bent, right and side down.

EngineerOk understood, we haven't changed anything on that aspect, we have a look.

EngineerEngine 9, position 1. Engine 9, position 1. I keep you posted on Magnussen. Ok, main loss is Latent 322.

Lewis HAMILTON...curve just now, check that's OK

EngineerOK, copy, will do

Lewis HAMILTONRight in front

EngineerMercedes pushing. No, no, negative. Everybody's in sync. Everybody's in sync. You can use them as a tool. Remember, target 3.5 to the Mercedes. 3.5 to the Mercedes. So Hamilton in front, Bottas behind, in sync.

Carlos SAINZYeah, it's ****.

EngineerIt's

Carlos SAINZabsolutely ****.

Alexander ALBONFeels really sharp on the front everywhere, but I think we're about three clicks too much.

EngineerOkay understood. We'll stay out for this next lap and then we can make a change for the next tyre.

Max VERSTAPPENwhat are the lap times yeah

Engineerjust cool the tires give me traffic into the moment you're currently p1 15 0. leclerc 15-1 hamilton 15-1 is now on a second push lap

EngineerAnd go in go in that was a good lap good improvement try to do a fast in fast in Focus on recharge keeping the brakes in temperature

Nicholas LATIFIHPP I put on it's okay

EngineerIt is okay. It is okay

EngineerOkay, watch for FIA lights please. Watch for FIA lights. Now when you get back, stop in the box. That last lap for us got cancelled because of Turn 9. For the next run, do you want to do Fast Love Fast or just one push lap?

EngineerOkay, we're good with traffic good with traffic first car pushing in turn six turn six

Nicholas LATIFIWho is it? I might try and get a tow

EngineerThat's troll, that's troll

Nicholas LATIFIBehind

Engineeryou is Perez not pushing

EngineerOkay, going out. Go, go.

Engineerjust in case we are tight on times for the second push we'll make this first one count

EngineerWe're good on time in terms of a normal outlap, but keep the speed up.

EngineerOkay, recharge on recharge on

Sergio PEREZI'm losing quite a bit on the straight, I mean straight, what then, to before.

EngineerWe will check, we will check. So first fast car, Giovinazzi 10 seconds back, you've got Ricciardo and Latifi between you and him at the moment. Ricciardo is outlapped, pushing quite hard. A smaller lift in turn 3, and push the braking for turn 14.

EngineerOpus 11, charge on, charge on. Opus 11, drop. Follow delta minus on target, box to slab, box, box.

George RUSSELLGreat job again, guys. Good stuff.

EngineerNow

Antonio GIOVINAZZIwhat's

Engineerthat

Antonio GIOVINAZZIs**t up?

Nicholas LATIFICopy box,

Engineercopy box, there was some good laps around there too by the weight bridge, weight bridge, weight bridge Yeah I was saying you did some good laps, too bad on the last lap I think you were ahead, could have been a cutoff in Q2

Kimi RAIKKONENThis lap was deleted, I'm afraid. No way, I was on the kerb. My left wheels were still on the kerb

Engineerwhen

Kimi RAIKKONENshe came. He

Engineerwas

Kimi RAIKKONEN450, frankly. Yeah, I was on the kerb. It was... The line is not the limit anymore. I'm sure my left wheels were on the kerb still. I could feel them trembling.

EngineerHe was...

Kimi RAIKKONENNo,

Engineerhe was...

EngineerI could do the minute with P16, I'm afraid P16 by six hundredths to hop on. No, you're joking mate! Oh no, sorry!

Romain GROSJEANWhere did they find the pace between FP3 and QALY? Those were mega laps!

EngineerStand by, stand by. With P15 at the minute we had our lap time deleted for Reichenen so we're still in it.

EngineerAnd Ferrari is on prime. Potentially faster outlap. Luckily a 3.5 behind on prime.

EngineerI suspect a bit of punching at the last corner.

Max VERSTAPPENNo power. I don't know what's going on.

Max VERSTAPPENNo power. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, I made no power. It's not working. No, it's not f***ing working!

Alexander ALBONWhere is the Max?

EngineerYeah, he's boxed. So he had an issue, that's why he boxed.

EngineerThere will be mode push for last corner, mode push.

EngineerWhat's your view, Dani, push-cool-push or single-push?

Daniil KVYATAt the moment, push-cool-push, but I think I might make it on the first time lap this time. I need a bit more flub maybe for the first time lap, one step.

EngineerOk Pierre, do you have a view for the next run? I'm

Pierre GASLYpretty happy with the car, but I need just a half a step up.

EngineerAgreed, what about single push or push-cool-push? What do you think?

Pierre GASLYBoth are pretty close,

Engineeras

Pierre GASLYyou like.

EngineerCopy that. Agreed, no downside trying push-cool-push again, and we review it for the next one. Ok,

Pierre GASLYhow is the pace?

EngineerCurrently P3, currently P3. Help us with timings.

Pierre GASLYJust be careful, that's the starting set.

EngineerOk, and where you can, we need a bit more braking, where you can, we need a bit more brake temperatures

George RUSSELLCould I have a bit of rank for my visor please?

George RUSSELLYeah, let's give up here we go one lap one lap

EngineerSo ahead of you, cars on outlaps on soft tyres, so if you need to pass them do so.

Engineeryeah Max I still think if you can be negative on your dash you'll be safe

EngineerCreate your gap early. Is anyone fast behind or are we good? We're good behind. Think about last corner and recharge off.

EngineerOkay, so Vettel ahead of you just finished a time-lapse, so there's a bit of a mix with cars on slow-lapse and cars on out-lapse.

EngineerSo you just need to be negative on the way in please, negative on the way in. Look after these in the corners, this is your race start set.

EngineerP11 Checo, P11 at the moment. We're out. We're

Sergio PEREZreally P11.

Engineer0.04 seconds would have got you P7 so it's mega close in front.

Alexander ALBONThere's something in the back of my like a stone or something in the back of my back

Engineerleft about my shoulder. Okay, understood We'll have a look when you get back

George RUSSELLGreat job guys Oh, that was a good lap. That was a nice lap

EngineerWe

George RUSSELLneed more tracks like this in F1 Because this is f***ing awesome

EngineerCarlos to reset the Delta would be default 0 alpha X default 0 alpha X

Max VERSTAPPENThis mechanic of Renault it's unbelievable

Pierre GASLYIt reminds me of the Torgus from the safety car police.

EngineerCopy that, sorry for that. Focus on brakes and tires.

EngineerBrakes are good, good job in the last corner

EngineerOkay, this happen is now gone. So you got clear track So just be be about three, please be about three and recharge off now recharge off and you are good

EngineerTire temperatures are same as the last soft so all is good

EngineerNobody pushing behind, this is ILAPA, this is ILAPA

Daniil KVYATYeah, the only issue is denied downshift into 10 and into 2.5

Max VERSTAPPENI hate that stopping in the last sector mate, the tyres are not ready then.

EngineerThey deleted Albon lap time, so you have P5, P4 is ghastly, with soft of course, 14.6 and Verstappen P3 14.4.

Pierre GASLYI don't know who went off last corner, but I lost some time with the gravel. Yeah, copy that. Same for everyone.

EngineerRecharge on please recharge on

Engineerokay just watch out people for a bit shenanigans so if it'll get stupid most important thing is your tire temperatures don't worry too much about other cars in front your tire temperature is the most important thing

EngineerRecharge off, track position is good, tyre temperatures are good.

EngineerDon't mind there will be recharge off at turn 17 and make sure you focus on the exit of 18, please

EngineerThat was close, mate. That's P1, mate. Ha ha!

Valtteri BOTTASYes. How close?

EngineerA tenth.

Valtteri BOTTASThat's enough.

EngineerP4 yeah, that's P4 for you. Good job mate. Wow

Pierre GASLYThanks a lot. Honestly, the car has been well P4. That's amazing guys. I think that's our best rally, so Very good job, very good job

EngineerSo we finished P9. Finishing order in qualifying, Bottas on pole, then Hamilton, Verstappen, Gasly, Ricciardo, Albon, Leclerc, Kvyat, yourself, then Carlos.

Lando NORRISYeah, I know. Now, the car was good. I just messed it all up. So it should have been at least one or two positions ahead.

EngineerSo just for info, Kvyat in front was 0.12 seconds faster.

Lando NORRISYeah, that's fine.

Daniel RICCIARDOPlease tell me that's a good position

EngineerAlright mate, that's P5, P5, awesome job mate

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, that was, that was big Good stuff. Hell

Engineerof a lap mate

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah that, that lap

EngineerThat

Daniel RICCIARDOone got me good I think it's about time I put one of those in Q3, so Excellent

Engineerwork mate, really good It was a stunning lap Daniel, well done, thanks Okay,

Daniel RICCIARDOawesome Thanks guys Thanks

Valtteri BOTTASIf you told me this 35 years ago, I wouldn't have believed it. Yeah,

Engineerunbelievable.

Valtteri BOTTASThanks guys.

EngineerWell done, Valtteri. Well done. You know what we need to do tonight?

Valtteri BOTTASLet's keep it to ourselves.

EngineerOkay, Dan is P8, P8. That was good.

Daniil KVYATYeah, it felt like a...

EngineerAnd box, box, stop FIA.

EngineerOK, nice job Max, 14-1 at P3. Not easy qualifying this, just difficult to get a good reference after Q2. Yeah, understood. Yeah, good recovery Max, that was difficult after having it interrupted with that issue, but well recovered. Still P3, so it's not bad.

EngineerAnd slow button on, slow button on, target zero on the dash, and you have P7, P7, and target zero on the dash. Oh, good P4. So P4 Gasly, lap time 14.5.
