16. Esteban OCONAlpine13:56:01

    Engineer: OK, so we're going to have a bit of room on the track to ourselves. Russell's seven seconds back. OK, he's five and a half seconds back. It could be that, depending on timing, he comes past us. Might be able to tow him down the start-finish straight.

17. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri13:58:16

    Pierre GASLY: Yeah, I have no traction and completely lost the wheel, almost shunted turn 4, so... I don't know why we lost so much wheel, you know? Yeah, I have no traction and completely lost the wheel, almost shunted turn 4, so...

18. Carlos SAINZFerrari14:01:12

    Engineer: Someone nearly passed me on the straight, what happened there? There was a Hamilton there, was probably trying to a prep lap, but was just a bit on the edge.

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, he got

21. Esteban OCONAlpine14:04:51

    Engineer: All to play for tomorrow then. Let's box now, please box now.

    Engineer: Copy that.

25. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:18:27

    Engineer: So that was a 41.5, put your P2, Leclerc 41.2, quite a decent tow in the final sector from Hamilton.

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, you need to be a little bit more active in the last sector mate to tell me like that I'm catching and how much, so we need to get a bit closer.

26. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes14:27:43
