EngineerOkay, so if we can add a little bit of weaving down to five, just going to try and boost these temps a little bit on these laps.

Alexander ALBONTrack reset's quite big.

EngineerFront left, well front brakes is smoking a lot considering it's low, quite low temps

EngineerSpecial 2, corner 1, corner 12, big gap behind you, but we want to keep, we want to keep temperature here.

EngineerWe maintain front, especially front left

EngineerBut don't let the tyres call too much, you can charge on the straights.

EngineerHow's the tyre, Oscar?

Oscar PIASTRII think it's okay, it looks okay, so I'm happy to go for another attempt.

ZHOU GuanyuOk, one step left because of the problems, because of the truck.

Yuki TSUNODAThe second lap was a step or so, the half a step got a bit understeer side compared to first push. If I talk about first push or second push, maybe we can add a bit of rotation more.

EngineerOscar, are you happy to stick to our plan of getting first-timed on the next set?

Max VERSTAPPENLet me know if you'd like...

EngineerThe

Max VERSTAPPENtires still feel quite cool mate, to be honest.

EngineerSo single cool?

Max VERSTAPPENYeah.

EngineerOkay, understood.

EngineerThis first sector is down.

Lewis HAMILTONHow far are we off?

Engineertargeting 80 front 76 rear 80 front 76 rear

EngineerYeah, where does that put me this lap? So that lap P8

EngineerThe back straight we need to go, PU13 position 6.

EngineerI mean, if we're going to be safe, we don't need to finish. I know, Oscar, I know. Perez is six seconds behind.

EngineerOn the back straight we need to go PU13 position 6.

EngineerI mean, if we're going to be safe, we don't need to finish. I know, Oscar, I know. Perez is six seconds behind.

EngineerI'm slower Ok well then let's save the tyre, if we're definitely slower save the tyre, Tsunoda 3.5

Engineercurrently we'll be going ok remember, leg cross attention, not in lap

Engineer100s behind. Okay, so we are safe. I just wait for cars to complete their laps, but just for 100s behind George so the locking turn nine and then

EngineerThanks, Pastor.

EngineerCool down. Everyone behind now is slow. Lance is pushing. 12. I had a cool

Fernando ALONSOdown brake balance forward.

EngineerLance pushing 9 seconds back.

Fernando ALONSOI let him go. Yep.

EngineerI

Fernando ALONSOlet him go. Yep.

EngineerZero. So Esteban's lap was a 13.

EngineerStroll coming through. Okay, into the pit lane.

Engineer14

EngineerI

Yuki TSUNODAthink balance was good a bit on this fair side a little bit, maybe if I had one more run I would add 1.5 to 2.

EngineerOkay Lance, you're clear behind. Good lap given the situation and great job by everybody in the garage to get the car out.

Valtteri BOTTASYeah, super messy with the traffic yeah wasn't ideal for sure

Fernando ALONSOI think in 5, causing the yellow, then Leclerc is missing turn 7, instead of letting me go, he goes straight, causing another yellow.

ZHOU GuanyuIn creative we keep it like default or go minus one maybe we default for now we decide for later

EngineerThose are a bit colder. Use overtake out of turn 12.

EngineerLet's go

Engineerand no pressure from behind, go prep, push, charge, push

Yuki TSUNODAI would say, I think I had a bit of a understeer, just in turn 3 I would say, but other than that was okay. It's hard to tell because probably the tyre was f***ed up. How's

Engineerthe

Yuki TSUNODAbalance? Yeah, maybe we can add 1.5 to 2.

EngineerAnd Liam, let's move to mid 4 please, currently mid 5. Let's go mid 4.

Franco COLAPINTOCould I have a horse?

EngineerNope.

EngineerOK, it's been a crash after turn 16. Everyone's taken the checkered flag anyway, almost. We are P11, unfortunately. And out was the gap to P.

Yuki TSUNODABy the way, yeah, so far, good job, guys. Good turnaround. Good turnaround.

Yuki TSUNODABy the way, yeah, so far, good job, guys. Good turnaround. Good turnaround.

EngineerLando just bear in mind that Max Ahead has done warm-up laps every time

Pierre GASLYFace to rear tires, rear tires is so cold

George RUSSELLAre these guys pushing or prepping? They're pushing.

EngineerGasly pushing and then seven seconds behind him it'll be Strat 2

Yuki TSUNODAI don't quite understand what you're saying. Do you think it's that warm-up related?

Pierre GASLYConsidering the tires were cold, so think about what you want to do.

George RUSSELLIs there time for a prep lap now or not?

EngineerWe think all of you are going to probably do the same thing.

EngineerNo pushing cars behind everyone's doing prep

George RUSSELLAre we good for time?

EngineerYeah, I'll feedback you once we get on track. I've got the number ready. It will be tight, but plenty of space. So clear on track.

EngineerSo just give yourself a good braking stop now, build yourself some margin, and then pick up the pace again. Another braking stop.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, what is the gap in front?

EngineerEight to Tsunoda.

Lando NORRISYeah, I'm sorry What's bad? Bad all day, my bad, help me

EngineerWe're P7 man. We are P7. Well done.

Yuki TSUNODAWell done. Well done. That was an okay lap?

EngineerYeah, it was an okay lap

EngineerSorry, that will be P-10

Lewis HAMILTONYep, that was a pig

Max VERSTAPPENOkay, I gave it all I had, it's

Engineerat

Max VERSTAPPENthe slippery.

EngineerYeah, it was a good effort, Max. It's all about tomorrow. That's fine.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, let's see. It's always tricky, you know, to probably erase someone here, but it's okay. Let's see.

Charles LECLERCWhat was, what was going on with the tires? Where were we in terms of... It's all so s***!

EngineerCopy Charles, we'll have a look at it

EngineerSo where are we? P7? P10? Well, I gave you all the lap times, but we are P4

EngineerWe just made a knockout. Ok, knocked out by seven hundredths.

Sergio PEREZYeah, unbelievable. It just doesn't get any better. Couldn't find any grip.

Alexander ALBONThe what?

Esteban OCONYeah, that's all there was in the lap. That was a good lap, so I'm

Engineerpleased with myself. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, but we are four tenths of where we should be, so... Yeah, I know, I'm just giving you some information and some encouragement. It was a good lap, well done.

EngineerI'm in Q3, mate. Well done.

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, let's go, baby. Yeah,
