Sergio PEREZWe didn't solve that issue, man. It was the same f***ing issue, again.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerAnd it's p13 I know

EngineerOkay, check the flag. Got traffic there. Yeah, I saw, I saw. Okay, unfortunately that's us out with that. That was very close.

EngineerOkay, let's go

EngineerWe've got a dash brightness page, what position is it?

Lando NORRISStandby I

Engineerknow no adjustment on track possible, we can do it in the garage

Max VERSTAPPENDon't you say getting worse as well Okay

Logan SARGEANTSo I didn't have a choice.

EngineerSo that's red flag, red flag, obviously no overtaking.

George RUSSELLLet's re-wrap this up and use this. We will do, let's

Engineerdo

George RUSSELLthis.

EngineerYeah, I think you're good mate. That's pole position. Two and a half tenths to Russell. Nice job.

Max VERSTAPPENGood top-down. Not easy to get the tyres in the window, but good quality. Well done.

EngineerYeah, well done mate. That's a great pole position lap. Fantastic. Best place to start tomorrow.

Max VERSTAPPENExactly.

Valtteri BOTTASIt's

Engineera

Valtteri BOTTASbit understeer, so actually a little positive.

EngineerSo is everyone doing builds, or can I expect people to push? It was red during their, I think what would have been their prep lap, so we think they're doing a prep.

ZHOU GuanyuThey have so much more speed than us on our lap. Copy,

Engineerciao.

Lewis HAMILTONLook at this, that wasn't too bad at all. Amazing job lads, what a result. Let's keep pushing, let's turn this into a positive tomorrow. Yeah Louis, good effort from all of us, we're coming back slowly but surely.

Oscar PIASTRII feel like I'm underbalanced.

EngineerHow was balance that time, please?

Esteban OCONA little bit better, a

Engineerlittle

Esteban OCONbit too real, I would say.

Valtteri BOTTASThat's some traffic there, so we'll do.

Valtteri BOTTASI'm sorry Valtteri, we are not through. That's us, that's us, it's from my side like, lost bit of wind and traffic in the end but otherwise,

Engineerlook forward.

EngineerCan we, I

Max VERSTAPPENdon't know, put some like, I don't know, a WD-40 or something on these hunts?

EngineerWe are Boxerslap and we are through.

Lando NORRISAlright, good job.

EngineerAlpha 10 roughly to P15 Sonoda for Q2.

ZHOU GuanyuYup, was not easy.

EngineerBoth cars are into Q2. Good job, Kev.

Nico HULKENBERGThat's kind of no good here. Going out slow. Could have just waited and go a bit later.

EngineerYeah, timing wise we were on the edge, so we can't give too much margin on timing. It'll be okay.

Yuki TSUNODAMagnus was pushing, not pushing at all. Okay.

George RUSSELLVery great, up ship.

EngineerNo, I

Nyck DE VRIESjust lost the rear, but I think I just entered a little bit too

Engineerquick,

Nyck DE VRIESor I just went.

EngineerI see

Nyck DE VRIESa little bit of gravel exit turn 3, so maybe someone else went wide as well. Copy that.

EngineerRun switch delta. Why? Run switch delta. Why? Because we're going to box Lance and fit another set. If we want to fit another set, we have to do it now. I don't really want to. Do we have to, you think? No, no. Run switch cool.

EngineerI

Pierre GASLYdon't know why the front is sliding so much.

EngineerYeah, copy that.

EngineerOkay Kev, unfortunately we haven't made it into Q3, we are P12, P12 at the moment.

EngineerOK, shame about the stop, catch on in box

Nyck DE VRIESYeah, I already lost the entry to M1

EngineerAnd it's p13

EngineerLooks like some dark clouds actually in front of the garage.

EngineerSo the Ferraris we expect to do warm-up push like us Red Bull not sure but they did last time this happened in last time

George RUSSELLDo we think everybody here will do a build?

EngineerYeah, AFIRM.

Charles LECLERCAnd we are sure the rain won't come earlier, right?

EngineerNo, we believe for the last three to four minutes.

Charles LECLERCCopy.

George RUSSELLVibration on the brakes.

Nico HULKENBERGThat was a last sector. Yeah, I don't know from 8 to 9 or 8 to 10. We keep losing Lap time. Yeah, let's take a look Okay

Fernando ALONSONo, from locking in 13 maybe gust of wind

Nico HULKENBERGIf we go now early, well...

EngineerWe're just worried about rain, because there's spitting, and also you should be free then.

Carlos SAINZIs the rain coming?

EngineerRain in four minutes.

EngineerAwesome job mate. So that's P2.

George RUSSELLNot too shabby! Nice work, nice work! I thought our car was one second off the pace!

EngineerWell

Alexander ALBONdone guys, that was really good.

EngineerJust bear with us.

Nico HULKENBERGNicely trapped there.

EngineerI

Nico HULKENBERGneed to push it on the Gasly. Going slow.

EngineerUnderstood, man.

EngineerI

Charles LECLERCmean, I had no preference besides the rain up there.

EngineerOkay mate, that's P9, nice job.

EngineerBoth Mercedes have pipped us mate, less than a tenth Yeah P4, P4, Verstappen, Russell, Hamilton Copy,

Fernando ALONSOcopy with the last name Yeah

Engineergood man, good So behind you, Sainz, tenth and a half slower than you, and then Lance, P6 Then Leclerc, Albon, Gasly, Hulkenberg

Lance STROLLout for it guys

EngineerAnd P4, P5, P5. Put

Carlos SAINZup a messy one, but yeah, I took risks later. Should be better tomorrow with the changes we've done. So hopefully tomorrow we can fight.
