   Engineer: Okay, we can go mode k2 k2

2. Pierre GASLYAlpine15:02:41

3. Pierre GASLYAlpine15:03:37

   Pierre GASLY: Right a lot of vibrations on the brakes.

   Engineer: Okay, mate. We're checking We hope it will settle down with some new set of fun brakes

4. Alexander ALBONWilliams15:05:16

   Engineer: Double cool, zero on the dash, maintain the front, drop the rear.

5. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:06:30

   Engineer: So 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.

6. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:09:51

   Lando NORRIS: Yeah, what the Alpine driver did was very dangerous by the way, he completely swerved at me

   Engineer: It

   Lando NORRIS: was pretty dangerous, very stupid what he did Had to avoid a collision

   Engineer: Understood, we saw that, we saw that

7. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo15:11:05

   Engineer: I'm quite happy with the default, front wing, no need on my feeling. Copy that, so no adjustment.

8. Sergio PEREZRed Bull15:13:21

   Engineer: Okay, main losses at the moment. We're over pushing turn one, compromising turn two.

9. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:14:03

   Engineer: Okay 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.

10. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin15:16:29

    Engineer: We are okay in time as long as everyone ahead plays legal if you want to you can use energy a bit use energy

11. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri15:21:49

    Liam LAWSON: Had 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

    Engineer: Would 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 LAWSON: Yeah, to be honest. Yes Also because we should have a step more grip as well

12. ZHOU GuanyuAlfa Romeo15:23:25

    ZHOU Guanyu: Science man, what is it doing?

13. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri15:27:39

    Engineer: Ok 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.

14. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren15:30:39

    Engineer: The DRS activation looks like finger trouble turned to 7x. Was there anything there we need to look at?

    Oscar PIASTRI: No, it's fine

15. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:31:22

    Engineer: Okay, 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.

16. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri15:33:11

    Engineer: Yeah, 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

17. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:34:28

    Engineer: okay 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

18. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:34:52

    Engineer: I've got

    Lewis HAMILTON: no grip.

    Engineer: Yeah, copy.

19. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:35:41

    Lando NORRIS: I just have a bit too much instability in almost every corner.

20. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:37:21

    Engineer: Try to keep position during the out-up.

21. Valtteri BOTTASAlfa Romeo15:37:39

    Engineer: Everyone's going to be overtaking each other here. We need to be overtaking.

22. Liam LAWSONAlphaTauri15:38:38

    Engineer: So just keep the pressure on the car ahead, make sure you keep your position and stay close to the car ahead for now.

23. Nico HULKENBERGHaas15:39:09

    Engineer: Okay, 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.

24. Alexander ALBONWilliams15:40:17

    Alexander ALBON: We're just wasting ourselves hours now.

25. Logan SARGEANTWilliams15:42:18

26. Nico HULKENBERGHaas15:42:30

    Engineer: Okay, Nico. He ended up P13. Yeah, unfortunate turn one. The rest of the lap was good. Tricky stuff out there, but good job.

27. Logan SARGEANTWilliams15:44:59

    Logan SARGEANT: I'm sorry

    Engineer: Up it you go in go in and slow it Do they panic a tip to the panic a tip?

    Engineer: The wind is the same than previous one

29. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:54:15

    Engineer: So, at the moment B2, no one pushing behind, signs 20.53 and you did 20.56

    Charles LECLERC: Copy, I did the top one as well, the slipstream, maybe a little bit to gain depth

    Engineer: Yes, that's correct

30. Sergio PEREZRed Bull15:57:42

    Engineer: Okay, so build your gap and have Merckx behind you, five seconds, five second target

31. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:58:31

    Engineer: Gap to Alonso in front, 7 seconds.

    Charles LECLERC: I think I'll do this lap without 16 because I cannot go faster than that.

    Engineer: Understood.

32. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:59:10

    Engineer: So we're just slightly unsafe to the flag, just three seconds.

33. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:01:57

    Engineer: Sines 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,
