  3. Sergio PEREZRed Bull15:15:060:10

    Sergio PEREZCan you bring me forward?

    EngineerThat would count as mechanical assistance. We wouldn't be allowed to rejoin qualifying.

  4. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:17:370:12

    EngineerWhether the risk of rain is coming earlier, possible it will affect the track in five minutes time, so the early laps might be important.

And ninth is a just reward. I think there's much more in it, but it's just a few milliseconds you'll see when you come in front of you. I'll say it again here, Alex. Well done.
