Kevin MAGNUSSENRemember I'm doing a fairly passed out lap,
Engineereveryone is going slow. Yes understood, so we'll try and make a gap to the group ahead so you can push a bit.
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
EngineerOK, so eyes on dash. I think you're in a good position to work this eyes.
EngineerOkay Carlos, warm the fronts where you can.
Pierre GASLYStarts
Engineeron
Pierre GASLYsome great looks.
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.
EngineerPositive on your brakes, down to turn 12 please, positive on brakes.
Max VERSTAPPENGotta tell Alex to move.
EngineerOkay, for cooldown, safe from behind, and we go also for the third, currently P8, charge lap time 16.0.
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
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.
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
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
EngineerOk Kimi, both charge and box this lap, and we will have time to do push-cool-push on another set. Front wing, question? I
Kimi RAIKKONENdon't know.
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.
Pierre GASLYI have a problem with the power unit, ok I have a big problem
EngineerFrance will be a little bit on the low side for turn 1, this car will be a bit sharp in turn 1
George RUSSELLThat's
Engineera good
George RUSSELLshot. That's
Engineera
George RUSSELLlot. That's

George RUSSELLgood shot. That's

George RUSSELLlot.
EngineerAll right.
EngineerLet me know if we can abort on the out-lap. OK, understood.
Sebastian VETTELGo jump down.
EngineerP3 Carlos, you're safe. Recharge on with box this lap.
Alexander ALBONIt's better, but we need something we can't do
EngineerThe
Alexander ALBONcar just feels like we have oversteer one or two for some reason it's really weird So I'm sure the tires are working properly
EngineerCopy We're looking into it
Max VERSTAPPENWe have to check my engine mate, it's all over the place.
EngineerOK, understood.
Charles LECLERCAre we in or not? This, honestly, the Haas car, I've got no idea who that is, but if my one was a penalty in Oceania, this should be a penalty.
EngineerCopy, we noted that.
Max VERSTAPPENWe have to check my engine aid, it's all over the place.
EngineerSo reminder, hard out lap, check it hard out lap.
Alexander ALBONTry and avoid coming out behind the Fridays next time.
EngineerYeah, copy. You just do what you can do.
Max VERSTAPPENIt's so weird, now I'm under-searing a lot in medium speed, so I don't know what's going on with the tires.
Pierre GASLYOk, massive 1-0. I feel like I'm destroying the engine.
EngineerOk Pia, listen to me. We cannot fix the problem in this station. We cannot fix it. So we have to live with it and we have to try to push to get through, ok? We have to try to keep pushing through it. Sorry for that.
Pierre GASLYOkay, that's it. I lost everything.
Alexander ALBONSorry guys, but I told you, I told you, just don't put me in traffic and I... Yeah,
Engineercopy Alex, we'll discuss back here.
Lando NORRISThere's a couple little spots of rain, just different places around the track, but nothing too bad. Understood. OK, box now. Landing filling. And stop in front of the garage.
Engineerso maintain left front tyre temp maintain left front tyre temp and more brake temperature more brake temperature
EngineerSo we're still good on brake on tyre temps but we'll have one more break into 12.
EngineerVBAL 3, and recharge off when you're ready Max.
Carlos SAINZAh, last sector, too neutral. Where are the others?
EngineerOkay, so Perez did a 15.88 on a new C4, Vettel used 15.28, Leclerc used 15.57, Gasly has not run.
EngineerSo check it we'll be doing a quick turnaround now to get out
Max VERSTAPPENThat's it for us, right?
EngineerJust hand fire.
EngineerOkay track is clear, track clear
Engineerand it will be mode push for last corner, mode push
Sebastian VETTELI lost a bit in turn 1 because there was a bit of drizzle on the track.
EngineerCopy that so turn two. There's a bit to find maybe half a tenth mostly coming in the entry phase Turn 12. There's a little bit to find again mostly entry to mid corner and then the final corner I think both cars have time to find Also 20 milliseconds in turn four Carlos just a tiny tiny bit in turn four
EngineerGet in there Lewis nice work mate you found your mojo there
EngineerVerstappen plus three box now and Carlos remember we need to switch the car fully off copy so go to P1 wait five and then P0
EngineerAnd when you come to a stop, pause for 5 seconds, P1, pause, P0 and remember to keep your helmet and gloves on. We've finished at the moment P8, P8, confirmed P8.
Lando NORRISNice, I don't think we could have done loads better, but I could have done a better lap, so not too smart.
EngineerYeah, good work.
EngineerThat was close, so P2, 1 tenth to Lewis.
Valtteri BOTTASAh, damn!
Lance STROLLThe car was on fire today. Yes
EngineerConfirm P3 Lance great job mate. Yes guys. Yes
EngineerYeah, I get out of the car copy and P0 please P0
