EngineerOkay Kevin, let's get a clean lap time on the board.
EngineerOk Kimi, so ahead of you is Magnussen and behind you is now Latifi, Antonio and Grosjean.
EngineerFocus on that front right in Ascari. Focus on that front right in Ascari.
EngineerCasa bunching up.
EngineerOkay cars, that's P2 behind Bottas. Prepare the car for another timed lap. That means focus on recharge.
Max VERSTAPPENNo threats. I did a double shift by accident.
EngineerOK, understood.
EngineerYour time was deleted. Your time was deleted. Turn 11.
Pierre GASLYI think I had my front tyre still on the line.
EngineerIt needs to be on the track. It needs to be on the track.
Pierre GASLYYeah, it was. I don't know what they said. Copy that. It's deleted. It just asked someone to check. I'm pretty sure the front was still on the line.
EngineerOkay, we will check. Keep working on your brakes. We'll focus on the next lap.
EngineerSo we are boxing that's on the safe
EngineerWell, I think everyone's gonna box now. Yeah, I agree. All right, we'll box this lap, please box this lap
EngineerOk Esteban, your position is good at the moment. There will be a lot of cars behind you in bigger trouble. So whatever you do, whether you get tows or not, just complete the lap as best you can and it should be good.
EngineerF***
George RUSSELLme guys, what up?
Kevin MAGNUSSENI had a rejected upshift at
Engineerthe exit of 5. Understood, we'll look at it.
Kevin MAGNUSSENAnd the track is extremely dirty.
EngineerUnderstood, understood.
Kevin MAGNUSSENI mean, really dirty inside 5. Understood, we'll look for it.
Valtteri BOTTASit's potential race start set
Daniil KVYATGained a lot of front end.
EngineerA
Daniil KVYATbit edgy on entry 267 and 11 still with the rear. Your feedback later.
EngineerOk that's P3 Carlos, you're safely through.
Pierre GASLYLet's really check the under the car because okay understood
Engineerso it looks a bit more straightforward this time temperatures are in a good window they're in a nice place
Engineerkeep going keep going do not come in
Pierre GASLYDid I push too much on the outlap or...?
EngineerNo, we were on target, we were on target. We think the wheelspin exit on 2 was the drama for the tyres.
Alexander ALBONIf Max wants to get past, he can, if he wants.
EngineerOK, understood. I don't want that
Alexander ALBONup to him.
EngineerOK, just hold station for now, do what you need to do.
EngineerPosition is very good, position is very good, tires are good as well
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
EngineerOkay, so that's at P1 at the moment, just waiting for other cars to finish.
EngineerP-8, Lance, P-8.
EngineerP4 Checo, P4, Sainz just got you and then it's the two Mercedes ahead of him Well done, mate. Well done.
Sergio PEREZGood job guys
EngineerJust
Sergio PEREZnot enough there, good tow at the end Good job guys, nice recovery
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.
EngineerOK, so we ended up P9 in the end, P9.
EngineerOkay mate, that's P7, P7. Alright,
Daniel RICCIARDOnice. Alright mate. Thanks guys.
EngineerNice job mate, can work from there tomorrow. It's about half a ten to Paris and P4, so all very close.
Daniel RICCIARDOOh ****, okay.
Lando NORRISYeah, it's not good I don't think, but I don't know, I just messed up turn 1 every time.
EngineerP6, P6.
