The session, message by message
EngineerOkay, we can go mode k2 k2
EngineerSo we've got 10 cars on their outlaps right now. Focus on your outlap. We can do recharge off between turns 2 and 4.
Pierre GASLYRight a lot of vibrations on the brakes.
EngineerOkay, mate. We're checking We hope it will settle down with some new set of fun brakes
EngineerDouble cool, zero on the dash, maintain the front, drop the rear.
EngineerSo we'll do sectors to George, it's two tenths, sector one pretty much zero in the middle, one and a half in the final, mainly turn one two.
Lando NORRISYeah, what the Alpine driver did was very dangerous by the way, he completely swerved at me
EngineerIt
Lando NORRISwas pretty dangerous, very stupid what he did Had to avoid a collision
EngineerUnderstood, we saw that, we saw that
EngineerI'm quite happy with the default, front wing, no need on my feeling. Copy that, so no adjustment.
EngineerOkay, main losses at the moment. We're over pushing turn one, compromising turn two.
EngineerOkay Lando, we are happy with the run plan that we have of fast slow fast. You can manage your outlap and your cooldown lap as you want.
EngineerWe are okay in time as long as everyone ahead plays legal if you want to you can use energy a bit use energy
Liam LAWSONHad a lot of understeer in the six and seven. I'm guessing because of the cars in front But yeah, we need to investigate this quickly
EngineerWould you be happy to overshoot half a step on the first set and we see if we have to hold back on the second Set we tried a bit more than planned for the balance
Liam LAWSONYeah, to be honest. Yes Also because we should have a step more grip as well
ZHOU GuanyuScience man, what is it doing?
EngineerOk Liam, so we don't need as much space on these compounds, keep looking at your dash for the timings. Important bit again is to have enough gap for turn 11.
EngineerThe DRS activation looks like finger trouble turned to 7x. Was there anything there we need to look at?
Oscar PIASTRINo, it's fine
EngineerOkay, Max, first round. So Sainz, P1, 20.99, you're less than half a tenth behind. Leclerc, P3, tenth and a half behind you. Albon, P4, 21.2, Checo, 21.4.
EngineerYeah, I think maybe there's a step too much We're doing a small step down So Biggest loss to Yuki was turn 7. Breaking was equal, but he managed to carry more entry and Minimum speed. Turn 6 breaking was better and turn 8 you can still break 10 meters later and try to carry more entry speed Okay, copy that. Thank you
Engineerokay Lando let's keep that speed up as you are doing that will help us here most of the cars beat it before so most of the cars did on one attempt only
EngineerI've got
Lewis HAMILTONno grip.
EngineerYeah, copy.
Lando NORRISI just have a bit too much instability in almost every corner.
EngineerTry to keep position during the out-up.
EngineerEveryone's going to be overtaking each other here. We need to be overtaking.
EngineerSo just keep the pressure on the car ahead, make sure you keep your position and stay close to the car ahead for now.
EngineerOkay, for the five cars ahead, Russell and Hamilton are in 10 right now, and they're very close, so they'll be making a gap. We have one minute 10 to start the lap.
Alexander ALBONWe're just wasting ourselves hours now.
Logan SARGEANTI'm sorry. I was down so I went all in in the parabolica. I missed it.
EngineerOkay, Nico. He ended up P13. Yeah, unfortunate turn one. The rest of the lap was good. Tricky stuff out there, but good job.
Logan SARGEANTI'm sorry
EngineerUp it you go in go in and slow it Do they panic a tip to the panic a tip?
Logan SARGEANTI was down. So I went all in in the parabolica. I Missed it
EngineerThe wind is the same than previous one
EngineerSo, at the moment B2, no one pushing behind, signs 20.53 and you did 20.56
Charles LECLERCCopy, I did the top one as well, the slipstream, maybe a little bit to gain depth
EngineerYes, that's correct
EngineerOkay, so build your gap and have Merckx behind you, five seconds, five second target
EngineerGap to Alonso in front, 7 seconds.
Charles LECLERCI think I'll do this lap without 16 because I cannot go faster than that.
EngineerUnderstood.
EngineerSo we're just slightly unsafe to the flag, just three seconds.
EngineerSines has pipped you by one hundredth. Wowzers. Tight qually that. That was a really tight qually, but that was a hell of a lap. Well done mate, you can be proud of that. Nice shot from Rose. Yeah exactly,
Max VERSTAPPENI mean they picked over our lap,
Engineerbut
Max VERSTAPPENlet's wait and see tomorrow.
Charles LECLERCAh! That's good change guys. That's good change.
EngineerYeah, well Max that was that was a pretty decent lap there so points tomorrow so pretty decent start from there. Yeah,
Max VERSTAPPENexactly
EngineerWell done, Alex. Great labs. Really, really well done. P6, good starting point for tomorrow. Yeah, thank you, James.
EngineerThat lap time was deleted for track limits at turn seven max
EngineerOkay, so into the pit lane. Okay, so into the pit lane. It's a tidy session.
EngineerOk, check right-hand side of the floor please. Yeah, copy that, we're on it already.
Lewis HAMILTONNot up for press.
EngineerDo you need to overtake cars? There's no space.
Carlos SAINZSomeone at the front playing the trick. Force people not to get a lot.
Lando NORRISYeah, I got f***ed over
EngineerOkay, we just went through Just about, yeah, I saw that
