George RUSSELLConfirmed 7th and 8th, not seat.

Nicholas LATIFIAny front wing flap adjust? Any front wing flap adjust? No, happy to leave. Actually, half a turn more. Half a turn more.

George RUSSELLOnly fans, only fans, we're right.

Daniil KVYATI'm on the way to the bridge

George RUSSELLStruggling with the rear sector one, compromised sector three a lot. We need to push the fuel more, we're not close to the fuel limit.

Carlos SAINZImportant to know if that was tailwind or car just more unstable the

Engineerwhole lap Sector 1 was more tailwind, 6 second gap to the car in front that time

EngineerAnd target minus two on the dash. Minus two. Yes, yes, I will be minus two at the end of the lap.

EngineerGood lap mate, good lap. At the minute we're P10, we're just waiting for a lot of other cars to finish, I'll keep you posted. And we saw totally what happened with those Alphas.

Romain GROSJEANYeah, that's obviously, there's no rules but that's just not good.

EngineerYep, understood.

EngineerPotential race starts at max, so look after them on the way in.

EngineerUnbox this lap please, just need to be negative on the Delta, just caution these could be your race start tyres so nice and easy on the way in.

Carlos SAINZYeah, not good enough guys, we need weather management, please.

EngineerOK guys, that's P12, box this lap.

EngineerSo the car will be a bit hotter than the first run in Q2.

EngineerEveryone's going to have some problem with traffic because the Force India has ran so early. They're going to have a real tough time this lap with a lot of traffic. We need to make sure we don't impede Perez. Gap is seven seconds.

EngineerP-12, Danny.

Daniil KVYATYeah, OK. It was tricky with the event before, but we'll analyse later and still can race from there tomorrow.

Charles LECLERCAre we through?

EngineerYes, we are.

EngineerOkay, man, so we'll box now, box. Unfortunately, it's extremely, extremely tight. To get through is a 17-0-7. We were 17-3-4. Unfortunately, we're at the back, just behind Latifi, Russell, Gio, Gasly. Rahman snuck through in P-14 at 17-0-7.

EngineerScenario 6 and SOC 3. Scenario 6, SOC 3.

Carlos SAINZWhat is this?

EngineerThere's only four cars ahead of you to start a lap so it'll all be quite sensible. Science won't catch you on a hot lap so no threats at all, you're in a good place, temperatures look good.

EngineerHeads up on the balance max.

Max VERSTAPPENThat's fine. I just didn't have more grip. Okay understood

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, lost the reel.

Carlos SAINZYeah, it looks a bit windier right now

EngineerSo Carlos I don't think the wind is that much difference. I think as we've spoken about before the key thing is going to be to be consistent with the braking. Don't invent something with the braking. If you can do what you did in Q2 and put together turn 10, 11 and the last corner then that's the lap you're looking for.

EngineerAll right guys, let's go

EngineerLooks like O'Connor just started moving, so double yellows three and four.

EngineerThat was good

EngineerWhat did you say we ended? Was it 8? So P8 is where we ended, so Leclerc and P5 did a 16.27 Alright, thank you anyways, guys I'll see you after this morning, thank you, we obviously had more pace than that Yeah, no worries, tomorrow that counts, I will make it count

EngineerYeah, well done Max. That last one run was just less than two tenths off Lewis's second run. So well done. Good job

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, let's

Engineersee

Max VERSTAPPENwhat we can do tomorrow
