3. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber13:56:42

   Engineer: Should be okay. Okay, copy.

4. Nico HULKENBERGHaas13:57:13

   Engineer: In the runoff at 1314 there's still a lot of standing water. That's just in the runoff at 13

5. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren13:59:37

   Oscar PIASTRI: The grip feels okay so far. I think it's going to dry very quickly.

   Engineer: Copy.

6. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren13:59:39

   Oscar PIASTRI: No, grip feels okay so far. I think it's going to drive very quickly.

   Engineer: Copy. So the other car has done a once-past, Oscar. Your call whether you want to go once-past or box.

   Oscar PIASTRI: I'll go once-past.

   Engineer: Copy. Switches are good. You've got plenty of space behind. You can open a gap to Bottas if you want.

7. George RUSSELLMercedes14:02:51

   George RUSSELL: Steering to bit, left hand down.

   Engineer: Copy.

8. ZHOU GuanyuKick Sauber14:03:34

   ZHOU Guanyu: Yeah, I lost a little bit of the car. Yeah, I'll go plan in man

9. Carlos SAINZFerrari14:03:52

   Engineer: GX, position 3, GX, position 3 It

   Carlos SAINZ: doesn't appear, because of the red flags, I don't know where I'm at Copy that

10. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas14:07:58

    Engineer: Yeah, we'd like to do a start going out, please.

    Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Copy.

11. Pierre GASLYAlpine14:08:37

    Engineer: And as discussed, let's get a feel for the track. We're happy to do a time-lap but no need to do too many. We want to avoid damaging the tires if possible.

12. Oscar PIASTRIMcLaren14:09:15

    Engineer: And Oscar, if you think we're just going to damage the tyre, I'm happy to box, the other car has boxed.

    Oscar PIASTRI: Yeah, I think we're going

    Engineer: to

    Oscar PIASTRI: damage it.

    Engineer: Copy, so box.

13. George RUSSELLMercedes14:09:57

    George RUSSELL: Let's just have a think here. There's a dry line to sector 2 and 3 Obviously if we need to hold on to these tyres.

    Engineer: Dry

    George RUSSELL: line all the way down the back straight

14. Pierre GASLYAlpine14:11:43

    Engineer: Okay Pierre, that lap's good for P2. How's the track?

    Pierre GASLY: It's good, yeah.

15. Pierre GASLYAlpine14:12:31

    Pierre GASLY: Yeah, it's getting quite dry

    Engineer: Okay, so let's try and avoid to damage these so happy to complete this lap and then box

16. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas14:12:55

    Engineer: OK, Kev, from a tyre temperature point of view, we're happy to do another push lap.

17. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas14:14:00

    Kevin MAGNUSSEN: I don't know,

    Engineer: I

    Kevin MAGNUSSEN: think it's getting tough for the tyres here.

    Engineer: OK, in that case, I'd recommend boxing this lap. FYI, you are P2, 29-0. The clerk is P1, 27-6.

18. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:15:15

    Charles LECLERC: Next car behind, Slur, Magnuson.

    Engineer: The

    Charles LECLERC: track is so much drier compared to the lap before, like it's... Richard approaching behind 6. Don't worry, I've got it. And Vox? Copy, I've got everything, don't worry. The dry, we might drive on the dry before the end of the session. Perfect.

19. Carlos SAINZFerrari14:15:52

    Carlos SAINZ: Do we expect rain for FP2?

    Engineer: Yes, we do expect rain for FP2.

20. Daniel RICCIARDORB14:17:00

    Engineer: No one pushing behind, look after your tails, box box.

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Yep, understood.

21. Daniel RICCIARDORB14:17:37

    Daniel RICCIARDO: Okay, yeah, I'll give feedback in a second, but yeah,

    Engineer: all good.

22. Sergio PEREZRed Bull14:19:25

    Engineer: Okay, Checo, so any reliability issues?

    Sergio PEREZ: No, no. I just had quite a lot of oscillations in the 10-10. I think that was in third gear.

    Engineer: The

    Sergio PEREZ: oscillations were very high.

23. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:24:06

    Engineer: Take care and just put temperature on the straights

24. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:24:59

    Engineer: So just focus initially on building temperature max.

25. Carlos SAINZFerrari14:25:50

    Carlos SAINZ: Anyone out on slicks?

    Engineer: Yeah, it's Lando and Max in front of you, and Charles as well. Standing water exit turn 10 for info, and DRS off for flowbees for now, and then you can take it.

26. Daniel RICCIARDORB14:26:37

    Engineer: On Daniel we take no risk, we take no risk, we try to learn for a drying track in quali. Sector 1 a bit down past the trees, and then not too bad. We have signs, turn 1 pushing, and then clear track.

27. Daniel RICCIARDORB14:27:38

    Engineer: Leclerc's first push was 4 seconds off compared to Inter, but track will keep increasing.

28. Fernando ALONSOAston Martin14:29:00

    Audio only, no transcript available for this message.

29. Carlos SAINZFerrari14:29:02

    Engineer: Try to overtake them, they are outlapped.

    Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, they need to let me by.

30. Jack DOOHANAlpine14:29:46

    Engineer: We're going to get a read on bouncing and ride from 10 to 14 and then we'll be taking the checkered flag.

31. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:32:12

    Charles LECLERC: Yeah, these guys are just staying completely in the middle Frustrating when you have people like this on track.

    Engineer: I know it was a purple middle sector

32. Lance STROLLAston Martin14:32:43

    Engineer: Okay Lance, we'll stay out for the grid start actually, we'll stay out for the grid start, so let's get a bit of cooling now, a bit of cooling now, and we'll stay out and go to the grid.

33. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull14:32:45

    Max VERSTAPPEN: Yeah, that was a little off-road excursion.

    Engineer: Yep, we saw that.

34. Valtteri BOTTASKick Sauber14:34:58

    Valtteri BOTTAS: Yeah, not so many laps obviously, and yeah, quite compromised conditions, every run was different grip levels, different patches of dry and wet track, so not easy to learn much, but at least we got initial idea of the balance. Yeah, part of the game happens when you try, so gotta find the limits, you know. It's pretty technical track, I mean, yeah, the chicanes and stuff, it needs a lot of precision, you're going over the curves, close to walls, it's enjoyable, and yeah, but let's hope for a bit more sun this afternoon. It's very smooth now, actually, super smooth track, so yeah, it changes a bit the setup philosophy for sure from the past, but yeah, and grip is also okay.
