Charles LECLERC: The Williams just, they know what they do. I mean, it's far, but they know what they do.
Engineer: You will need to overtake cars on track in order to achieve zero on the Delta
Fernando ALONSO: But there's going to be some punching, so let me know if they come down also for Lance. I don't want to disturb him.
Alexander ALBON: We've got to get rid of the strategy we're doing with the tyres, it's rooting the tyres.
Logan SARGEANT: Are we good?
Kevin MAGNUSSEN: Okay Kev, I'm afraid we didn't make it into Q2. I mean, what the **** man. I just can't believe it man. All these cars in the last corner.
Pierre GASLY: Can I just do something for it? I don't know like apply bigger brakes on cool down or like...
Engineer: Oh no, okay, we're out. I
Daniel RICCIARDO: had no reel.
ZHOU Guanyu: Everyone was in the queue and the collaboration just started to go south as always.
Valtteri BOTTAS: Yeah, I was getting a bit too close to him through the lap.

Engineer: Eight and a half tenths of a clare, P1.
Lewis HAMILTON: How much
Pierre GASLY: When you take like the front lock just felt like I was front locking everywhere as well
Engineer: Yeah, we'll take a good look.
Alexander ALBON: The tyres are just absolutely destroyed, I can't get them to last more than six corners.
Nico HULKENBERG: Losing the front a little bit in the air, all that twisty tight stuff here I think.
