EngineerHappy to keep pushing, no issues from our side.

Pierre GASLYFun Brakes for Snow King 10-4, 10-12

Fernando ALONSOWe keep the aerobalance, we keep the aerobalance, all okay. Understood, understood.

EngineerLado, we need to box this lap, we need to box this lap, be careful of Hamilton, five seconds behind.

EngineerI'm not sure if this

Lewis HAMILTONis going to

Engineergo much quicker. OK copy yeah, we're just watching others.

EngineerI hope there's traffic in front of me, man. Understood, mate. Understood.

Lewis HAMILTONGot no rear

Engineerokay we'll be uh reducing eb at this point all break buyers we've got six seconds back to ocon on a push

EngineerAnd we had that lap deleted for track limits, but you probably knew that. Yeah, I know, I know.

Logan SARGEANTCan you check the floor?

EngineerOkay, copy that. We're checking.

Carlos SAINZYeah, traffic with Hamilton Interceptor. That was a bit too much from Hamilton.

EngineerGap in pit lane. Gap in pit lane. Join the queue. Join the queue. You can overtake and then make your gap to SC2.

Lewis HAMILTONThere are so many people out here. Are we okay time-wise?

EngineerYep, should be okay. I'll talk.

EngineerYou gotta go, Lance. You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go. Gotta go, go, go, go. Go. Push up, push up.

EngineerPlenty of time to get around. Okay, you're good on timing to stroll, never stop.

Pierre GASLYCan I overtake on it?

Engineeryeah we are okay and at the moment yeah we are okay on timing but we need to be sooner than now

EngineerSo Gamma had three seconds. Norris has just completed his lap.

EngineerBehind him, track is clear now, Sunoda starting the lap now, Pérez.

Pierre GASLYWe're going to pass the flag. So

Engineerhappy to overtake.

Pierre GASLYHey guys, we're going to get, we're going to pass the flag if Stefan doesn't go.

Engineerseconds track is clear now and behind Sonoda now margin

Alexander ALBONGuys the tires are completely gone, completely different car

EngineerFive behind coming through. Magnussen starting a time-lap.

EngineerPoint five gap is three point five

George RUSSELLHe's out of my box, isn't he? What's he doing again?

George RUSSELLHe's out of my box, isn't he? What's

Engineerhe

George RUSSELLgoing again?

ZHOU GuanyuMcLaren, do you have the same sequence or not? Confirmed, Perez pushing behind, 3 seconds

EngineerI

George RUSSELLcan't see in my mirrors

Pierre GASLYWhat am I doing with the overall time?

EngineerWe've got nine seconds margin at the minute.

EngineerBack off, do not tow Gasly. Back off, Gasly, let him push through.

Logan SARGEANTWhy are we going behind a million cars, man?

EngineerYeah, understood, Logan. The traffic was tough on that outlap.

Esteban OCONWe're always on the wrong side of it. It's unbelievable. Always.

EngineerThe sergeant's still pushing three seconds behind, so keep pushing Yeah but he's gone through a yellow flag

EngineerSo, Russell is under investigation for impeding a pit exit. That doesn't help us, but, yeah, if that hadn't happened... Well, everyone's impeding! Yep. Yep.

Lewis HAMILTONI didn't attack turn two the same as I did that before so you should be able to see

Pierre GASLYYeah, the Alpha Tire just overtook the Alonso, but I'm not too sure if we can do that.

EngineerOr

Pierre GASLYif we can, just let me know, because it might be useful for... Copy

Engineerthat, we'll have a look and let you know.

EngineerOK, Checo, initial heads up. What's your limitation? Turns 1, 2, 3.

Sergio PEREZA bit of front end.

EngineerA

Sergio PEREZbit of front end only.

George RUSSELLNo grip, 6 of 2

Pierre GASLYAny other guy with used?

EngineerYep, stand by, looking at it now. Hülkenberg on used was ahead of you, two one-hundredths ahead.

Pierre GASLYI feel like we've got to try a bit of flaps, so let's put a full full click for the next run

EngineerCopy that

Alexander ALBONThere's no way. There's damage or something.

EngineerThat's another mess leaving the pit lane again.

EngineerYeah, I'm just preempted, lots of traffic in sector 3 It's going to be dangerous like it was in Q1

EngineerOK, we're P12, so we're not through unless there's any penalties. Albon is four and a half behind fast. Perez box, so it's just Albon.

EngineerOscar, we are safe, happy to recharge on and box this lap, call the cut.

EngineerOK, Joe, we finish P11, P11.

Pierre GASLYStill a good effort. It

Engineercertainly was and traffic leaving the pits was also tricky so we'll try and work on that. Remember to get yourself weighed please.

EngineerDon't chase the temps.

Sergio PEREZJust much about that.

Lewis HAMILTON30 seconds, it's

Engineer13 seconds

Engineernow no threats delta on delta on be about six Hamilton pass now no threats

EngineerOk, very good lap Daniel. Purple sector 2 and 3.

Max VERSTAPPENWhen I box this, double check the front of the floor, 28 is quite a harsh hit.

EngineerUnderstood, thank you.

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, that pin's got up.

EngineerYeah, copy. Yeah, we've got the overlay and a couple of suggestions.

EngineerFocus on your out lap of preparation at the moment.

George RUSSELLTurn my device on, outlapse. One's in the garage.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerCara had four seconds. Is Joe, he did an 18.05. Just four thousandths quicker than our used run.

EngineerOK, we need the same in turn 12 on braking, we need the same in turn 12.

EngineerAnyway, Joe, we are in Q3, so tomorrow can be fun and points are there.

ZHOU GuanyuYeah, thank you guys for this.

EngineerSmell it. Smell it.

EngineerAnd P1.

Charles LECLERCGood job. Good job, guys. Oh, well, that's

Engineera

Lewis HAMILTONTwo tenths off.

EngineerIt was 0.28 to Leclerc, P1.

Lewis HAMILTONHow much did I lose in 4 and 5?

EngineerJust keep on that delta. Across the 456, it's pretty neutral.

EngineerThat was a good effort, Max. That's less than a tenth off the pole today.

EngineerRubbish! Womp, box, box.

George RUSSELLJust had no grip.

EngineerYeah, they failed. That's a common theme.

Valtteri BOTTASYeah, I looked up in 13. Okay, try to follow your Delta Think there's two treetops in there. So the tree would have made their first
