    EngineerPosition is very good, position is very good, tires are good as well

  22. Carlos SAINZMcLaren14:57:010:16

    EngineerI'd be happy with a nine second gap. Let's leave a reasonable gap to them. We don't need a super toe and then on the lap It's mainly about consistency and putting together sector two. You don't need to find something special in the braking stick with what's worked

  23. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes14:58:050:05

    EngineerOkay, so that's at P1 at the moment, just waiting for other cars to finish.

  26. Carlos SAINZMcLaren15:04:140:34

    EngineerP3 Carlos, two more cars to go. I'll get you updated. Look after the fuel. Delta positive and close to zero. You're P3 baby, P3. Good job. P3, give it to me. P3. So Hamilton, Bottas, then yourself. You are 25 milliseconds ahead of Perez. There were some tense moments here as well, mate, but that's a great lap you've put together. Good job.

    Carlos SAINZIt involves high risk, high reward. Cheers guys, what a quali, honestly. One of the best qualis I've done with you guys. On it.

    EngineerSo keep the Delta close to zero. Keep looking after the fuel.
