2. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:06:22

3. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:22:41

   Lewis HAMILTON: Red Bull, just come to see what tyres we're wearing.

4. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:22:51

   Engineer: So suggestion would be brake balance to zero just for the start.

5. Esteban OCONAlpine15:23:43

   Engineer: So no further balance adjusts to what we described a few minutes ago and Procedures for the formation lap are exactly as we've discussed up to now. So once the car fires up in about five minutes time We will turn the pit limiter on from there The only thing you need to remember is to get everything warmed up. Remember your target temperatures Don't overheat the rear brakes Remember to do the burnouts where we described at the end of the lap and then recharge off before the start after the burnouts

6. Fernando ALONSOAlpine15:25:41

   Engineer: Ok, so currently you are in torque 5, you happy with that? Yep.

    Engineer: we stay out then

12. George RUSSELLWilliams15:36:28

    George RUSSELL: I think it's going to be pretty lengthy, so I'd happily box, put the quali on. Sonoda has front wing damage, he'll be boxing.

15. Daniel RICCIARDOMcLaren15:40:23

16. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:43:24

    Engineer: Suggest third gear in turn five for energy if possible.

20. Esteban OCONAlpine15:47:24

    Engineer: Okay you're doing a very good job of managing temperatures Latifi currently will not have DRS is one second behind let's see if we can push up to Vettel 1.3 ahead
