  3. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:01:060:12

    EngineerBe aware any drops that do full max we are expecting to hit at turn 14 first So you'll get a read at the end of this out lap

  4. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:01:230:06

  7. Alexander ALBONRed Bull15:05:110:18

    Alexander ALBONIt's very neutral, feels like the tyres weren't ready into turn one and turn two. After that, the plot's okay, but yeah, just really neutral sector one.

  8. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:05:590:05

    EngineerPositive on your brakes, down to turn 12 please, positive on brakes.

    EngineerOkay, for cooldown, safe from behind, and we go also for the third, currently P8, charge lap time 16.0.

  11. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:08:020:16

    EngineerSo we need to keep the Delta negative, get the Delta negative and we can box-box

    Lewis HAMILTONI thought you said we keep going

    EngineerA change of mind, check from the pit wall I can't get it negative OK, copy, go round, go round again

  12. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:08:190:22

    EngineerHow's the good effort Max Hodlot? Strat 7 please, and keep your dash negative on the way in. Ok, ignition P1, and then P2 please Max, er P0.

  13. Carlos SAINZMcLaren15:08:540:09

    EngineerSo I think let's open another let's open another lap and if you can gain time in sector one and two will we can complete it

  14. Alexander ALBONRed Bull15:09:350:09

    Alexander ALBONWe just have no stability at all in high speed, so 1.2 is just terrible.

    EngineerOkay, well done Carlos P9 and we box this lap box this lap

  16. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:10:570:12

    Kimi RAIKKONENdon't know.

  17. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas15:12:240:31

    EngineerOkay, you're up to P16, you're just 0.1 out of P15. So that was a really great improvement, we'll just find a little bit more on the next run. So negative on the delta time is good. Okay, Roman was just 0.2 quicker, mostly turn 14 minimum speed. Anything we can help you with there? Have a look and see what you think is going on. Okay, understood, will do. Can you go to multi QR 10? Go to QR 10 now, okay? Multi QR 10 now is the multi-A switch. Thank you.
