George RUSSELLLots of traffic. Lots of

Engineertraffic. Box, Box, watch the two cars behind.

EngineerBut there's a lot of cars in front it's going to back up opening the lap

EngineerMain losses turn 7, 9 and 10, mid-corner speed.

EngineerHow

Lewis HAMILTONbad was the time?

EngineerSir, P4 at the moment, 2 tenths for Stappen P1, we think that time is just about safe but we'll go again.

EngineerIn terms of sectors, four thousandths, sector one, three hundredths, sector two, tenth and a half in the final sector. Yeah, copy, you got it.

EngineerGo new soft one time lap, and update for flat angle when you can.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I'm happy. Maybe 0.1, but maybe not.

EngineerOK, understood.

EngineerJust

Valtteri BOTTASlost two tents with Rostov-on-Don on the way. AFL, sold out.

Mick SCHUMACHERAh, I lost it.

EngineerNice lap, Maz. Nice lap. Let's use the in button, the in button. So that was a 1.06.2. Mick was 1.06.0, so really close. Nice work, mate. Good to pull that back. Nice job.

EngineerOkay, unfortunately we are out.

EngineerOK, we are out, I'm afraid, P17. OK, box, give me.

EngineerMore push, more push.

EngineerAnd tyre 5 please, tyre 5

Max VERSTAPPENEr, tyre 5 no?

EngineerThat's correct

EngineerSo time is not safe

EngineerIt's a whole train of outlap traffic

Engineeroff the main place turn 3, but 6.10 for the other areas, exit How

Lewis HAMILTONmuch earlier is it at 3?

EngineerSo 0.6 loss in turn 3

EngineerSo lots of cars waiting to open laps We're boxing. Yep, we're boxing. Just make sure you don't block anyone opening a lap

EngineerSo, box this, Lachlan. This is the potential race start set.

Max VERSTAPPENWhat's

Engineerup? Potential race start set.

Lando NORRISYeah, I clipped the kerb a little bit in the last corner, that's alright, just check everything. Yeah, ok, we'll take a look.

EngineerHow much more? We think it's a very very good lap, we think it's very good. How much more you think from you if we have another set?

Pierre GASLYMaybe I can get a half

Engineera tenth, a tenth. Ok, copy that, I keep you posted.

Yuki TSUNODAI go snap exit of turn 4, maybe because of understeer a little bit, but

Engineerturn 6 I have an instability in the entry. Box, box, Yuki, box.

Yuki TSUNODAI don't know what Giovinazzi is doing

EngineerYeah, I saw that

Charles LECLERCWhy is Carlos so slow?

EngineerCan you repeat? I will come back to you on that.

EngineerSo it's a Verstappen half a tenth up in sector one, so it's down 0.606 in the middle and just two hundredths in the final

EngineerCancel DRS and Delta on.

EngineerOK, P11, P11. It's not bad, free tyre choice. Nice work. How close? 104.66 to 104.67.

George RUSSELLOh, you're kidding me. That's annoying.

Max VERSTAPPENYou are unbelievable. So blind. I can't fish right.

Carlos SAINZYeah, I cannot get these tires to bite on the front. And the lap time was deleted for turn 9, track limits, we are P3. Yeah, yeah, I had a lot of fun last time.

EngineerOK.

Fernando ALONSOBeautiful.

EngineerNice that mate. That

Fernando ALONSOwas good man, so enjoyable whatever the position will be I did enjoy.

EngineerOK Daniel, that was a good step, but I'm afraid we're P14. Box this lap. OK, understood. I don't have much of an answer for today, but we'll figure it out. Yeah, don't worry mate, this is a Sunday race circuit. There's plenty of action to go on, so don't worry, we'll fly back from here.

EngineerAfraid we're out, Sebastian P13

Pierre GASLYLet's try to go with the pack.

Charles LECLERCat the

Engineermoment low intensity tailwind into turn one I will keep you updated

EngineerTires are in a good window at this stage.

EngineerOk, that's a good lap, yeah, good lap. Think about what you need for the next lap, please.

Pierre GASLYYeah, I think it was a good lap, just a little too. I know we did our best, but I could see the last time in the straight just

Engineerdropping massively. Yeah, I understand. Ok, we'll have a look.

Lando NORRISOK Lando, so as we bring the car back, just think about front wing. Yeah, did it go up?

EngineerYep,

Lando NORRISanother half.

Pierre GASLYOk, I let you deal with the traffic, but that's

Engineernot

Pierre GASLYgoing too early. We

Engineerdo, we do,

Pierre GASLYwe'll deal with it. Focus on your left.

EngineerYeah, copy that.

Max VERSTAPPENWe're safe with the timings, yeah?

EngineerYeah, 30 seconds to a normal out lap You do what you need to do for your out lap mate. It's been every man to himself at the moment

EngineerSo currently 50 seconds to red light, final sector is normally 20, so it's still 30 seconds margin, that could get eaten up pretty quickly though.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, just tell me the cars.

Engineer20 seconds, I think we're going to have to start getting ready to go Max, if we run the lap, there's not going to be enough time in the queue.

Max VERSTAPPENHow many cars?

EngineerThree cars ahead of you. Okay, still 23 seconds, 55, no threats behind, V-VAL 3, V-VAL 3, and we are off, 15 seconds, 25.

EngineerPole position mate, pole position. Ah yes, nice job, nice job. Righto mate, both laps were good enough for the pole, well done. We call that simply lovely.

EngineerOkay, so boxing this lap and you stop again park for me when you stop in park for me the usual procedures, please, so Stop the card and wait a few seconds will be p1 and then wait another few seconds and then go to p0, please
