EngineerYeah, but I was fighting with Butters, I was racing with him at the first lap of a race. I understand, I understand.
Kevin MAGNUSSENYeah, so sorry Kevin I got it wrong very sorry
EngineerWe need you to push in the in-lap. We need you to push flat out in the in-lap.
Logan SARGEANTI think this is still the right tire
EngineerSo Lance at the moment we're tight with the cars in front now to do push-cull push and we think the tyre might be too damaged so we're happy to go around and just focus on one push at the end as the car has not left the garage and he's looking at that at the end Yep, copy
EngineerOkay mate, unlucky with that flag there, it's alright, we've got another going.
EngineerCopy, look for O2.
Lewis HAMILTONDriving very fast.
Lance STROLLThat's too early
EngineerMulti-function errors.
EngineerOK Lance, we've committed to this, we've got to go.
Engineermultifunction airs position 9 airs position 9
Alexander ALBONokay I think we had to do what we had to do anyway I don't expect anyone to do medium so
EngineerOK, the session will not be restarted, I'm afraid we're out.
EngineerDo not overtake that's the only thing do not overtake Okay
EngineerTiming wise this is now difficult for push cool push. I think therefore it's either first lap or warm-up push.
Lando NORRISOkay, so what's strat for push push?
EngineerIt would be strat four. That's correct. I'll get back to you. I'm just talking about something.
Sergio PEREZHi, going for the slick

Sergio PEREZIt will just be a single time-lapse, right?
EngineerIt's going to be tight. We'll need a fast charge lap.
Carlos SAINZI had a big moment
EngineerMode 5, Mode 5, we've got two push-laps here.
EngineerNow pick up the pace Max, we don't have much margin, you need to pick up the pace.
EngineerNow pick up the pace Max, we don't have much margin, you need to pick up the pace.
EngineerAnd that is P2, Oscar. P2. Great job. Great qualifying though. Brilliant. P2's mega, mate. But you'll be frustrated to know that Verstappen is only 11 milliseconds ahead. Well,
Oscar PIASTRIthere you go. Thanks, everyone. There wasn't much left in that lap. Probably 11 milliseconds, but yeah, well done, everyone. Cheers for that. Thank you.
Charles LECLERCAh, mistake in turn 9. I think I started a lot too close to Carlos.
Charles LECLERCWhat
Engineera

Max VERSTAPPENI think it was very good.

Sergio PEREZUnbelievable.
EngineerThey
Sergio PEREZall blocked me in the final corner.
EngineerYeah, it was busy out there.
Sergio PEREZYeah, I mean, I should have known that there were so many people there.
EngineerIt
Sergio PEREZwas a strange wrong problem.
EngineerYeah, it was a tricky one, Checo, because unfortunately we just wouldn't have had enough time, you know, at the back of the grid there, so at least you got the two sustainable, but you can race well from there.
Sergio PEREZYeah, please have the stewards have a look on that final corner. Everyone will stop there.
EngineerYeah, we'll have a look.
Lewis HAMILTONYou're P-7 now.
EngineerYeah, copy.
Lewis HAMILTONI could have been so much better when I was better.
EngineerHow is it looking? P6 mate, P6, that's the final, P6, nice one.
Pierre GASLYNice guys, nice one, really well managed because it was very tricky so, well managed. Yeah
Engineernice job as well, that middle sector looked very good.
EngineerYeah, they're only able to say that was a show from start to finish, especially my side. Yeah, we'll go through all that. I don't care what happened.
EngineerGood job
Carlos SAINZI thought that was a really good lap
EngineerYeah, it was a good color
