EngineerOnce again, you can try to push if you want happy to go mode one charge off
Yuki TSUNODAI saw a bit of smoke from the break, but it's okay, right?
EngineerAll okay.
EngineerOK, recharge on, not many cars finished their laps currently, P3 Norris did a 30.0 in P2
EngineerHow was the balance?
Sergio PEREZIt was quite sharp at high speed.
EngineerFunction Earth position 6, Earth position 6.
Esteban OCONSmashing the ground into turn 9 quite a bit with the ride.
EngineerCopy that.
ZHOU GuanyuI think he is really low by factory
Esteban OCONWell, you need to look at turn 9, because that last lap before, I did hit the ground massively. If we go quicker in qualifying, it's going to be a problem.
Audio only, no transcript
Lando NORRISI'm still too nervous to go flat to nine guys, too much rear movement still
EngineerOK Lance, we're going to box, cool and box, there's an issue with the Delta, we're looking at it, cool and box.
EngineerSo we think the first drops of rain are in 10 to 15 minutes
EngineerSo the safest thing is to come in now.
Oscar PIASTRISome lightning towards turn 15, outside of turn 15.
EngineerCopy.
Audio only, no transcript
Lewis HAMILTONWhere's that half a second?
EngineerIt looks like a straight line
EngineerOkay check out there might be a few spots around turn 15 but just expecting light rain initially. Got a 25 minute window here.
Logan SARGEANTSomething just blew off and I have crazy hot air hitting my arm.
EngineerOkay, okay. Are you okay?
Logan SARGEANTYeah, I'm fine. Man, it's so hot.
Lewis HAMILTONWhere is my set time? Just sort of straight there?
EngineerYes, at the moment.
EngineerSo we think we'll just get this one time lap and then it may be rain so This lap you're still all clear behind you got 13 seconds back to the stop
EngineerLatest info Lance is it's going to be one timed and then rain so it has to be lap one
EngineerOkay Choco, there's some rain about to hit Turn 15. Looks harder than expected.
EngineerThere's no near traffic. Yeah Gasly first car pushing within 10
Alexander ALBONWhat the f*** is on fire?
EngineerCopy that. A rain potentially from 15 around the Turbine. Yeah, raining in the sector 3. Okay, that should cool your backside down a bit.
Charles LECLERCYeah, it's raining a lot in the 10-19, 10-19, and I am staying out, copy, I won't take risk, but I'm staying out, understood
Lando NORRISYeah, surprisingly not that bad anywhere, I would say. Distance 7, probably the wettest.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerSo the rain is decreasing now so we try to take opportunity from these conditions
EngineerDo you want to put a slick on? Yeah, we are keen to do that.
Lando NORRISYeah, same.
EngineerBut I want to do it as quickly as possible, alright? I don't want to just sit in the garage for 20 minutes again. Sure, no problem.
EngineerSi.
Engineereating sectors one and two okay we can see
George RUSSELLIt's just a really annoying condition where it's not slick, it's not wet.
George RUSSELLYeah, it's just a really annoying condition where it's not slicks, not wets
EngineerMore rain expected in four to five minutes. I leave it to you to don't damage the tires
George RUSSELLIt's spitting turn 3 to 7, but it slicks.
EngineerAs you view that the slicks are the right tire, Gasly pushing within seven. There's more rain coming. Yeah, okay
Alexander ALBONIf this
Engineeris quality I would be six. Copy that. Okay, if we're not going to learn anything we are happy to box.
Logan SARGEANTIt's hard for me to justify any risk in this
EngineerYep, I understood Perez slow behind Rain coming there's more rain. We can't use that. Otherwise, we'll see titan damage
Sergio PEREZIt's heavy.
EngineerI
Sergio PEREZdon't think we will land anything.
EngineerYeah, there's a row of incoming.
Lando NORRISA little bit of rain here.
EngineerWe expect the rain to stay at this level until the end of the session.
Valtteri BOTTASYeah, you know, most of the track is dry, it's only a few bits are wet.
EngineerTires would be good for two laps in these conditions.
Max VERSTAPPENNo, I think this one.
EngineerYeah, so understood.
EngineerUnbreak balance minus one, suggestion.
EngineerYeah, my front left is quite gone already, but anyways,
Charles LECLERCwe'll
Engineertry. I believe shock 2 will be better, gap 2 pered in front. 8 seconds, no one pushing behind.
George RUSSELLVery, very much so.
Charles LECLERCYeah, my front left is quite gone already, but anyway, we'll try.
EngineerUnderstood.
Audio only, no transcript
EngineerNow, I suspect there's only one lap on these tyres before the damage, but let's see.
EngineerSo the wind has picked up it's 20 kph tail into three 20 kph
Audio only, no transcript
Max VERSTAPPENNo, everything felt quite normal. I mean, the track is dry, reasonably dry in some places for inters and then the last sector of it was slippery.
Yuki TSUNODAI want to go to an abstinent row, I think.
George RUSSELLAll traffic a
Engineerfirm, okay
EngineerYou can expect perhaps a slight increase in intensity in the final sector.
Lance STROLLIt's raining more
Lewis HAMILTONLet's turn one flat out, yeah.
EngineerLet's start but
