EngineerOK Maas, straight out, the pit lane is open, green light, green light.

Engineersynchronize all the gears synchronize all the gears

EngineerWind looks pretty comparable to P3. Wind comparable to P3. You're the lead car. Everybody's in sync. Possibly more tailwind into turn 11. And remember, mode push, mode push into turn 13.

EngineerGo

Mick SCHUMACHERahead. What happened at the beginning of the lap, Matthijs, was really simply...

EngineerYeah, we saw the big snaps, but the wind didn't look too severe, so I'm not sure why, because the temps looked okay. We'll keep checking.

EngineerYes, I need to work both axles on brakes

EngineerSo just a single call. So currently P2, Verstappen P1, tenth and a half, he is on the soft tyre. You've got Alonso leaving the pits behind you.

EngineerWhat's your thoughts about whether the tyre will go again? I think

Sebastian VETTELthey should be OK to go again, they were a bit cold to start.

EngineerCopy. So the main loss was really just Turn 1, Lance breaking a bit later.

EngineerThat's a decent lap, that's P5 at the moment.

Fernando ALONSOYeah, good lap.

EngineerDaniel, how's

Daniel RICCIARDOthe front wing? Do you think slightly less front wing will help? I think on that run, yes. Just trying to understand track evolution.

EngineerAnother big truck evolution, one second truck evolution.

EngineerOkay, press in button press in button go negative on Delta time Okay, good lap there you're 0.5 quicker than Nikita so keep pushing to save us some time

Mick SCHUMACHERHi again, the EU7C at the beginning of a lap, what is it? 3.0

EngineerOh

Mick SCHUMACHERthe tires not ready, like it feels like it

EngineerCopy

EngineerSo lots of cars left the pits, about 10 cars on outlaps. So cars building gaps on pit exit. I got two minutes to the flag.

EngineerLine feedback from Ed at turn 3. Turn in later at turn 3 to stay higher. I

Nikita MAZEPINthought Mick is not allowed to overtake me. You said he's not allowed to overtake.

EngineerCopy, let's just keep the gap to him, let's just keep the gap that we need at the end of the lap. Bottas behind is in sync.

EngineerThat was close that was terrible cars behind our starting lap stay out if you can stay out if you can for charging

Sebastian VETTELSo

Engineerwe're in the pit lane guys

EngineerThat was close, that was terrible.

EngineerWe're out, check it

Sergio PEREZCan't f***ing believe it They were so slow with these guys on the pit lane

EngineerIs there a chance to go again, or is that it? No, that's it. That's it. Perez one and a half seconds back. I think he's backed out, but just watch for him. Yeah, man. What the ****? You said to me we are the first car.

Nikita MAZEPINI'll talk to you afterwards, Nikita.

EngineerOkay, tough conditions out there, Mick. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any time. Nicky also didn't get his lap in, and then Kubica is just ahead, 0.08, and

Mick SCHUMACHERthen I think maybe... Yeah, I just started the lap way too close to Latifi. Yeah, understood. And

EngineerI think we probably caused trouble for Vettel, so we may have an issue there. He was finishing his push when we were in the 13. So sorry about that. We didn't get it very right there, but we'll figure it out.

Mick SCHUMACHERI did, really. Yeah, but it's also like, you know, if they all take their space like that in the piddling, then it's hard to find it on track.

EngineerYeah, it's tricky stuff. Okay. See you. Yeah, understood. So we'll box now and just watch the weighbridge. See you in a minute. See

Mick SCHUMACHERyou. Did Sebastian get through in two minutes?

EngineerNo. He's 17th. He's 17th. So he didn't get through. Neither did Perez. I think Perez didn't get his lap done.

EngineerGreen in five, so watch out for the light. Four, three, two, one, and green, green.

EngineerSo eyes on that

EngineerFast in is okay. Fast in is okay. Make sure you watch your brakes.

Nicholas LATIFIDidn't feel like a bad lap, the stone grip.

Carlos SAINZWho is ahead this weekend, just

Engineerof interest, who has preference? He has the preference.

EngineerSo

George RUSSELLtricky with the wind, I think the wind picked up a little bit

EngineerOkay so we don't think the track is a lot faster at the moment. I think we're in a good spot here. Eight and a half seconds ahead to Tsunoda. He's on an outlap so we'll be pushing next time.

EngineerSo currently P2, Verstappen P1, 6.5 tenths, in terms of sectors, just over 4 tenths, sector 1, tenth and a half, sector 2, half a tenth, sector 3, mainly turn 3 entry,

Lewis HAMILTONrepeat sectors, so

Engineeryou can have a few cars behind starting laps, but it's just over 4 tenths, sector 1, tenth and a half, sector 2, half a tenth, sector 3, main loss, turn 3, keep an eye on the weighbridge, and then we'll stop long.

EngineerGood man, good luck mate.

Pierre GASLYThanks, that was a good one.

Esteban OCONNot too nice from Fernando, I mean he said it, but not too nice.

EngineerHe's one position below you at the minute with a 10.0, so nice job. Well recovered, right, again think about what you need on front wing and let's box now please, box now, stay negative on the delta, no traffic behind.

EngineerOkay, so just negative on your delta on this in-lap, there's some time to gain, turn 3, turn 10 and 13.

George RUSSELLAlright guys. Yeah, box box.

Nicholas LATIFIYellow flag.

EngineerYep, yellow flag, yellow flag. Okay, go in, go in, red flag, box, go in. It's done for us.

George RUSSELLYeah, I just pushed it too hard in the last corner. Sorry about that

EngineerPlenty of time to manage your outlap as you need to here. People have stopped the pit out pretty much, the gap behind you is at 18 seconds.

EngineerAre you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay?

Nicholas LATIFIYeah, I'm fine.

Engineerred flag double yellow turn eight turn eight we have got Latifi in the wall there so red flag let's box now please box now

EngineerI'm guessing that's it um if we are incredibly quick there might be time to go again so we're going to get the car back and turn it around I know the session will not be resumed they're not going to resume the session didn't put it together but uh I'll try and make up for it tomorrow yep we'll do it tomorrow we start p13 tomorrow

EngineerRed flag, red flag, box, box. Red flag, charge on. Follow the reference and box.

Yuki TSUNODABlanket, blanket.

EngineerYeah, the session won't be restarted, unfortunately. So it's P15, very unfortunate.

Lando NORRISI'm guessing that's it um

EngineerI know the session will not be resumed they're not going to resume the session all

Lando NORRISright didn't put it together but uh I'll try and make up for it tomorrow yep

Engineerwe'll do it tomorrow we start p13 tomorrow

EngineerTire temperatures aren't too bad with a good outlet should be okay

Charles LECLERCWhat is that?

EngineerI think they are opening the gap, but yeah

EngineerSo delta needs to be negative and close to zero

EngineerSo currently P3, Verstappen P1, Valtteri P2, 3.5 tenths to Verstappen, it's 0.23 sector 1, 0.13 in the middle sector, it's again turn 3, entry mid.

Max VERSTAPPENWhat is this? They

Engineerare

Max VERSTAPPENstanding still on the pit exit.

EngineerI'm going to push. I'm going to push.

EngineerStill P6, charge button off, it was a strong lap I believe.

EngineerThat is pole position mate, pole position, home Grand Prix, really proud of you, nice job.

Max VERSTAPPENHaha,

Engineeryes, guys, unbelievable, what a great car today, it was unbelievable, it was just flying, thank you so much.

EngineerWell done, Max. Got the first part done. Well done. Great job.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, let's finish that tomorrow. The second part.

EngineerI tried to give it everything, happy with the improvement, great work. Well done mate, that was so close, but yeah, really upped it there. Luis well done, great effort, just let's nail it tomorrow. Thanks Toto.

Daniel RICCIARDOOkay, Daniel, that's P10. We're P10. Box this lap. Okay. All right. That's right. I'll explain after. Okay. So Ocon was P8, 109.9.

EngineerI

Daniel RICCIARDOthink maybe we could have got that. Giovinazzi, P7, did a 109.59. That looks a bit more difficult.

EngineerYeah,

Daniel RICCIARDOunderstood. Yeah, I was just going to say front, I struggled from the turn, that first turn. That was the limitation. Copy. Okay. Yeah, I've just stopped. All right. So, yeah. Well done, Daniel. Honestly, through qualifying, that was all good. Just didn't quite get that last lap, but overall, that's

Engineera

Daniel RICCIARDOgood qualifying session. Well done.

EngineerEverybody finished their lap now, and that's P9 for us, P9.

EngineerP4! P4! What a drive! What a drive!

Pierre GASLYOh man, Munich is very good! It was a lap! It was a lap! I'm so happy, guys! Amazing! Yeah, behind the signs! Amazing! Full lap! Full lap! Very good job!

Pierre GASLYgood job!

EngineerAh,

Pierre GASLYwe love it, man! We really love it! Yeah, friends ask for a top 6, so give a top 6. Run P4. Yeah, careful where the target is going to stop there. You know he wants even more. Anyway, very good job, guys. Very good improvement from yesterday, so... Yeah, super! Let's keep it up tomorrow.

EngineerAll right, I think that's us. Esteban sat in P8. Good job. Very well driven that lap. Fernando P9 and Riccardo P10. Great job.

Esteban OCONGreat job, guys. Yeah, really good. From car to P3 is a good result to get it right tomorrow again.

EngineerYeah, very good. Very well driven as well. Nice one.

Esteban OCONAnd yeah, good comeback from FP3. I think we know where we are going now. So yeah, very solid. Thank you.

EngineerIt was a strong quali, I believe, good recovery.

Carlos SAINZYeah, good job guys. Grazie a tutti i meccanici.

EngineerEhm, per l'ora.

Carlos SAINZFor me it was a good lap, I would say.

EngineerI felt like I

Carlos SAINZwas one set of tires behind all the time, but ok. I think it was a good recovery.

EngineerCopy that, that was a good day overall.

EngineerOver the line charge on and box, box, box. Follow Delta, mine is on target. Save some fuel, save fuel. Where
