ZHOU GuanyuBoard push, end of the lap, yeah?

EngineerCopy, I will be push, push.

EngineerSo we think this is probably going to need a hard out lap with these track conditions and we don't want to lose track position

Charles LECLERCYes, but now we full box for dry we box for dry copy

Engineerunderstood

EngineerYeah, copy that. So we think we'll have two or three time lapse of dry running.

EngineerAs in before the rain comes, or what do you mean? As in before the rain comes, yep.

Lando NORRISDo you think it's better if we do continuous or not?

EngineerWe think we can do two laps, but let's use this one as a cool down lap and we can go for two laps

Engineerum

Esteban OCONit's the fast speed sector and the last sector wet still quite damp

EngineerSo before the lockup, it was two tenths ahead of George. You've got Sainz behind two seconds.

EngineerOkay, we think we can push next lap so you can back off to this one and then push again

Logan SARGEANTI had traffic in turn 3.

EngineerCopy, traffic in turn 3.

EngineerSo we're expecting, again, some light drizzle in around four minutes or so that could last five minutes. But again, not expecting it to significantly wet the tracks.

Logan SARGEANTYeah, so let's put a new set on and bang one in

EngineerSo it looks like light rain in the pit lane doesn't look heavy enough for it to interfere

Lando NORRISYeah, uh, I'm gonna, of course, but it's f***ed up, I don't know why we've done this.

Nyck DE VRIESGuys guys you say give me an unsafe release

George RUSSELLYeah, it's

Engineerraining everywhere at the moment. Aye, firm.

EngineerOK, let's stay out please, let's stay out, let's go for one more lap, one more lap.

Nyck DE VRIESIt's raining quite a bit on the back street.

Esteban OCONIt's actually raining quite a lot more now, I think if we go out it's going to be wet, so that last chance is now.

ZHOU GuanyuOkay now it was so

Kevin MAGNUSSENUh, everything just switched off.

ZHOU GuanyuBut the session we start or not, yes,

Engineerit will we have more than three minutes remaining

ZHOU GuanyuLet me know the condition was was people still improving on these conditions or not

EngineerAlmost crashed into the Alpha there, it was close. Understood, we'll have a look at that.

Max VERSTAPPENI just understeered, I don't know, just in a grip.

Lewis HAMILTONDo we need to overtake people on the track?

EngineerDefinitely don't lose positions but yeah it's probably going to be a little bit tight.

ZHOU GuanyuAre we at the front?

Valtteri BOTTASNo power.

EngineerCopy, copy. Okay, don't shift, don't shift. Stay in gear.

Charles LECLERCNice Carlos, nice. Good overtaking last corner.

Carlos SAINZIt's

Engineera

Carlos SAINZbit unfair what you're asking me to do there, sacrifice my entire temperature, but anyway, whatever. Also I am P4, he's P3, I'm more at risk.

EngineerCopy that, sorry about that, but we want to avoid.

EngineerRain is coming. Rain's coming.

EngineerSo we think light rain any minute now, light rain any minute now, but it is light. Copy.

EngineerCurrently everything is reported as dry and I would say if anything this rain looks like it's breaking up

EngineerOkay lads, that's the plan. We have to save the new set for Q3, so that's the plan. Just focus on this run.

EngineerNo more rain

Pierre GASLYSo we basically have this set and then after rain should be coming right?

EngineerThere's already a little bit of rain reported turn 15

EngineerThere are these light drops about, expecting it to last around five minutes.

Lando NORRISYeah, it's already a little bit slippery

EngineerIt's about getting a good clean first lap Fernando if this rain gets bigger and a bit of rain in 15 and 16 reported

Oscar PIASTRICopy, there's some light rain in

Engineerthe

Oscar PIASTRIwhole circuit now.

EngineerOkay, so just single call plus 10. Try and get in before more rain.

EngineerThis so track is clear behind and we are aiming for a single cooldown lap single cooldown lap

EngineerAnd you can't consider mid-eight, just mid-eight for a bit of stability.

EngineerStill drizzling here. Yep, understood. So continue to circulate, thanks.

EngineerStay within track limit, mate. Turn 15. Watch out.

EngineerSo Charles, we believe the end of the session will be the fastest track. So we believe it's better to come in and choose the best set of tires.

EngineerAre we coming in for new tyres or going back out again? Yes, copy. Double call. Box, box.

EngineerOcon pushing behind, watch for traffic with Ocon, he's pushing behind I am pushing, I am pushing, I am pushing

EngineerUnfortunately, we're out there. Yeah,

Esteban OCONsorry, guys. I've badly managed.

EngineerOkay, that's track limit turn nine I

Logan SARGEANTwas it I

Engineerthink you were not we have to take that turn to look again

Pierre GASLYWhere's the window?

EngineerYeah, it looks very similar to where I was in P3 and if anything through the session it has come down a little bit in terms of intensity.

EngineerThat's a good lap on a used time. I

Alexander ALBONthink I've got a puncture on my front left or something.

EngineerOK, go switch to go in, pressure's alright at the moment.

Pierre GASLYDo you want me to be slightly closer to

Engineerthe cloud line for the next lap? Affirm.

EngineerOkay, so we can fit the next set of tires so 308 can go on the car please 308

EngineerSo in front we have Russell Neosoft and behind we have Hamilton

Pierre GASLYI would love to, do you want same?

EngineerSame, but use DRS between 5 and 6

Engineerclosely spaced and so Oscar there's a 10 second gap in front of you but the six cars at the end of that gap are pretty closely spaced and you will have some bunching in sector three.

EngineerYeah, good on brake temps, good on brake temps, tyres are nice and warm, they're okay.

EngineerRight mate, that's P2, P2, Oskar P3 Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Well done mate, great drive, great drive Very good Yeah

Lando NORRISbaby! Awesome job Awesome job Well

Engineerdone mate Is Zach happy? I think so

EngineerOkay, well done, that's another pole, another busy session, so well navigated. Well done mate! Very lovely, well done, fifth in a row, well done mate.

EngineerOK Lewis, so that's P7, it's just under 5 tenths to Verstappen P1 He

Lewis HAMILTONsays so!

Charles LECLERCAh, I didn't think it would go fast. I over pushed. I over pushed.

George RUSSELLAlright, thanks everyone, pretty good work yesterday, race is tomorrow and we made good steps forward from FP2 Yeah, if so

EngineerYou've got both McLarens behind you. Norris was two and a half tenths behind, Piastri three and a half tenths behind. Then it's Leclerc signs in the rounding off the top five.

Max VERSTAPPENThat's a good result for them, they've been quick today.

EngineerIt's really tight now.

Carlos SAINZYeah, that's tight.

EngineerF***

Carlos SAINZit.

EngineerAnd Oscar finished P3. Well done, buddy. Finished P3. Very nice.

Oscar PIASTRIWell done, everyone. Saw Lando's P2 as well, so awesome job, everyone. Mega, mega, mega, mega. Thank you very much. Not bad at all.

Oscar PIASTRIKelpie,

Oscar PIASTRIa while since I pulled up at the boards. It sounds like fun.

Alexander ALBONSorry guys, that wasn't, that wasn't good.
