16. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin11:57:52

31. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes12:22:23

    Engineer: I keep a bit of a Piastri behind, and then there'll be Hülkenberg in five seconds.

    Lewis HAMILTON: Need

    Engineer: to

    Lewis HAMILTON: be a little bit earlier with these notices mate, regardless of where everyone is, you know.

    Engineer: That could be Hülkenberg, he's on a slow lap, out lap at one and a half, and then Norris, eight seconds.

32. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin12:22:40

    Engineer: Currently still P1

    Fernando ALONSO: Oh really? Great

33. George RUSSELLMercedes12:23:45

    Engineer: comparing to Alonso 7, 9 and 11 are the main losses to Alonso

34. Lando NORRISMcLaren12:24:31

35. Sergio PEREZRed Bull12:26:02

38. Nico HULKENBERGHaas12:28:15

    Engineer: Everybody set the lab already and stuff though? Yes, yeah, a lot of them went earlier, so all the times are set. So where are we? P12 and Kevin's P11. We're at 33.4 and like P8 is 33.1, so like 3 tenths in it. It's 5 tenths to P6.

39. Nyck DE VRIESAlphaTauri12:31:17

    Engineer: I

    Nyck DE VRIES: think it's pretty clear, we have too much understanding of the car, I usually never have such a close second lap to my first push.

    Engineer: In terms of compare with the other car, it doesn't look that way, so we'll check everything and try to tune it for quality. But, loud and clear on your feedback.

40. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes12:31:26

    Engineer: So I think this will probably go red on exit, this will probably go red on exit, just keep an eye for it, it will come and get you.

    Lewis HAMILTON: Come on guys, I've missed this twice now.

41. Nyck DE VRIESAlphaTauri12:34:13

    Engineer: I think I dropped it a little bit too deep and therefore I held the pedal a little bit longer to avoid too much wheel spin Copy that, keep opening the gap please And this one was close to target, this one was close to target Copy, but too much wheel spin Confirmed
