EngineerGood work on the brakes, you know the target for tires. How

Pierre GASLYmany cars ahead?

EngineerWe have 4 cars ahead, but they opened a big gap. Click correction, 5 cars ahead.

EngineerWe have tailwind entry turn 3, 6 kph, tailwind entry turn 3, 6 kph. Try to keep working on the brakes, keep working on the brakes.

EngineerOK, so in sync with Kevin, in sync with Kevin. OK,

Romain GROSJEANI've got so much understeer.

EngineerOK, it will come better, it will be getting better. Let's go SOC1, be ready for the next lap.

EngineerOk Kimi, more charge, more charge. Let's get ready for another push, stand by. Behind you is ******.

Kimi RAIKKONENI lost so much in the last ******

Engineergoal. Yeah, I've seen. Kvyat behind, 3 seconds, finishing a lap.

Max VERSTAPPENOh, for f***

Engineer's sake,

Max VERSTAPPENrun right.

EngineerWeigh bridge. Weigh bridge. Weigh bridge. Weigh bridge, yep. OK, so remember, once you've been weighed, it's ignition from P1 back to P2. Remember the direction.

EngineerWould you like a balance adjust from that last lap? Not really, no. Well, it's getting oversteer because of the suspension, so we should adjust. Understood. And box, Romain, box. Okay, box. And the adjustment be a little bit more on the understeer side and the oversteer. Understood.

George RUSSELLDidn't think I would have a push again. Apologies for that.

Lando NORRISThe power steering's been a bit funny again.

EngineerOK, understood. Let's keep going, we'll look in the data.

Lando NORRISSimilar to yesterday.

EngineerOK, understood.

EngineerOk, there will be 5k... My left front is very cold for some reason Oh yeah, I can see Ok, copy that So it will be mode push when you are ready

EngineerSo we have still P-17 at the moment

Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, the f***ing tires are...

EngineerOkay Lando, I see you've backed out, we're tight on time for the flag so let's keep pushing on the charge lap and we're still P8 so still in a good position let's just focus on this warm-up lap

EngineerAnd Daniel, can you let us know if you're happy with the SLAP?

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, relatively happy. Yeah, happy enough. There's a couple of tents in it probably, if I really nail it.

EngineerOK, understood. What do you want me to do? OK, let's box the SLAP please, box the SLAP.

Daniel RICCIARDOOK.

EngineerOkay, dude, I'm afraid we're out to Salva's goddess there. Just waiting for the others to come through. Currently P17. It was a good lap, man. Good improvements. The

Romain GROSJEANkick.

EngineerCome on, somebody's good! She's a good'un, she's a good'un. P15. Woo!

George RUSSELLNice one, guys! That was good.

George RUSSELLMy bubble's twitching a little bit then, good job.

EngineerCan we post on brakes? Minus one and minus three. Brakes are critical. Good stopping to eight and ten.

EngineerI couldn't f***ing

Nicholas LATIFIdo a laugh.

Lance STROLLmy lap got deleted yes

Engineerit did get deleted turn one track limit it was only

EngineerYou'll have a 10 second wait at the end of the pit lane, you'll have a 10 second wait at the end of the pit lane.

Engineerand we are five seconds to green five seconds to green racing point was doing the same as us push cool push racing point was doing the same push cool push

EngineerAnd Lando, cars behind are on medium, so we think they're more likely to do a warm-up lap.

Charles LECLERCDo we think they are going to do the flip-flop?

EngineerWe don't think they will do it. So, both of us Hamilton, they will push behind you.

George RUSSELLBig traffic from Ocon

Engineera good cool down a good cool down take take their cooling now take the cooling now

Lewis HAMILTONGo traffic man

Daniil KVYATIn the last two corners, in the last lap I had a little oversteer and then understeer, oh, in the uphills.

EngineerOk, we had more tailwind there.

Max VERSTAPPENI still have no grip.

EngineerOK, copy.

EngineerThe guest bank was still P11, we need 1.5 tenths to get into the top 10, and that is Daniel, he's done 17.48 compared to your 17.61.

Esteban OCONCopy.

Pierre GASLYYeah, obviously it's gonna block me

EngineerNow we'll go brake bounce offset two clicks rearwards please, two clicks rearwards, so that'll be a click forwards the way you were previous run So do what you need to do on your tyres

EngineerSo check it, we're happy to keep leaning on the tyres in the last sector as well, so you're clear ahead and behind, good brake temps, front tyre nice and warm, this has been the best outlap so it will be go one, go one.

EngineerWHAT ARE

Lance STROLLTHOSE F**K

EngineerYou've got cool, yep, you need You're clear behind, clear behind, cars on outlaps, behind or cooldowns

Alexander ALBONSimon you need to tell me when there's

Engineera

Alexander ALBONlow in front No it was way too close

EngineerOk so behind you you've got Ricciardo on a slow lap, everyone's in phase with you

EngineerOK, now that we are safely through to Q3.

Sebastian VETTELYeah the tyres were not ready. It was better on

Engineerthe

Sebastian VETTELfirst run but this time I struggled to get the fronts warming up. They weren't ready for three nor for five.

EngineerOk mate, so you are P10, so in Q3 Ok,

Daniel RICCIARDOI might have just kissed at the rear of the car

Lance STROLLWas the track slower that run? Yes, yes

Engineertrack had got slower windier

EngineerOK, so we finished our session P9

Alexander ALBONOK, whatever we're doing with the tyres is not working, so let's try something else, let's try a build lap or something

EngineerOK, understood Do you feel like the tyres are any

Alexander ALBONbetter on

Engineerthe

Alexander ALBONstage? No, now it's gone

EngineerOK, understood So when you get back, stop in the box and switch off please

EngineerNice job.

George RUSSELLGood job guys.

EngineerAnd we have tailwind at turn 3, higher intensity than before.

EngineerWind is still reasonably high at 15 kph tailwind 3 and 5 and 13

EngineerReminder do not use DRS.

EngineerWe're happy for some more tire temp. We're happy for a bit more temp. So Verstappen is doing the same run profile as you

EngineerSo just 5 hundredths to Valtteri, mainly exit speed turn 1, exit speed turn 11, you're strong in turn 5. So purple in the middle sector, down 3 hundredths sector 1, down 6 hundredths sector 3.

EngineerOk, so when you cross the line Verstappen is starting the hot lap right on your tail So when you cross the line Verstappen needs to come past you now please Verstappen on your tail, now let him past Thank you very much We'll go for a normal cool down now Recharge on please

Alexander ALBONIt wasn't very firm

EngineerOk mate, let's just get focused for the next lap, you've got another go on this set Keep up a reasonable pace I think on this cool down lap

EngineerSo this will be tight to get three laps.

Carlos SAINZDo you have time for a new set?

EngineerNo Carlos, we don't. When you come back there will be two minutes remaining.

Carlos SAINZNot even a pit stop?

EngineerThere's no fuel Carlos, no fuel.

Alexander ALBONWhy is the gear on synced again?

EngineerYeah, we're looking into it. Just get focused on your tyres. OK, your radio is latched.

EngineerOkay, so box, box, box. So you clawed back P1 from Lewis. His first lap was 69.

Pierre GASLYLost everything in the last two corners.

EngineerYeah, we saw that, we saw that.

EngineerOk Pierre, sorry we didn't manage to put it together at the very end, but anyway, you should still be pleased. It's good to be in Q3 again.

Pierre GASLYYeah, I'm

Engineera

Pierre GASLYbit disappointed because I think we should have done better, but anyway, we'll do better tomorrow for the race. Anyway, thanks to all the guys for rebuilding the car because I know you had a very long night, so thanks to... Grazie a tutti ragazzi.

EngineerP5 Great

Sergio PEREZjob anyway, good recovery and the race is tomorrow

EngineerYes! Get it there mate! Awesome job! Very good decision bud, and yeah, what a lap!

EngineerI'm afraid it's P2.

EngineerWhat's he doing? So Lando currently P7 uh he was five milliseconds off of you and Albon uh 25 milliseconds behind him 30 milliseconds behind him Oh look at the sectors, f***ing last sector seriously, I hate it

Max VERSTAPPENoh

Engineeryeah

Max VERSTAPPENwell sorry

Engineeri wasn't following lewis actually he's uh got a bit more time looks like he might nick it from you to be fair and put it on pole yeah hamilton on pole p3 two and a half tenths behind lewis and one and a half tenths behind bottas you were two tenths ahead of leclerc uh three tenths ahead of perez half second out of alex and that's the top three right oh yeah it's just a tricky qualifying here so p3 is not bad no that is a good effort good effort max getting closer yeah with my race so that's good

EngineerYou have P4, P4, so you've done a really good job

Charles LECLERCCopy, thank you, good job

EngineerVerstappen lap time in front 16.9 and try to target zero on the dash
