EngineerIt's getting light now, okay, let's go

Charles LECLERCWhen you say same lifetime as the Starfon, it's like literally the same lifetime, or you see some hundreds behind? No, literally the same.

EngineerAndrea, Lando, how much do you think the new tyre can give us? We have a choice here, we either leave the set on and we go again on it or we fit this new set but then we have nothing for SQ3 tomorrow.

Lando NORRISI mean, I definitely think it would give us a few tyres.

EngineerLiterally the same

EngineerAnd Lando recharges on. Strat 2. Tsunoda's approaching the final corner. I know.

EngineerThe

Lance STROLLheiress.

Sergio PEREZYeah, Leclerc's got P1, 40.2 Max 40.3, and then yourself 40.4 Ah

Sergio PEREZOk

EngineerIt's a very good effort, Checo P3 for the race on Sunday, you can overtake out, well done mate Good

Sergio PEREZjob guys, good job It's important just to get through it

EngineerYou'll be disappointed to know you set the same lap time as Stroll, but because we set it after him, he qualifies ahead.

EngineerYeah, very good, really good day.

Yuki TSUNODAFirst time in this year Good job

EngineerGood job. So now we are in a good position for the rest of the weekend. Hopefully, let's see tomorrow
