Sergio PEREZHere it is, solfax.

Charles LECLERCWhich car are we? Like which number in the lane?

Engineer14

Charles LECLERCOkay, I guess that has an influence on our run partner.

EngineerYes, we're still okay, but we'll update you when we stop moving.

Charles LECLERCUpdate me maybe as soon as you can, so I can see what we do differently.

EngineerMore weaving in the straights, please. More weaving in the straights.

EngineerYeah, it moves

Lance STROLLa little bit, it's not stuck.

EngineerIt's stuck.

Sergio PEREZYeah, a little bit too front limited. Hülkenberg might be pushing again here. Hülkenberg one and a half coming through.

EngineerOpportunity throttle pickup turn five

Lewis HAMILTONWhy am I in a straddle?

EngineerI will feed back to you in a sec. Distractor's good.

EngineerI've dropped it, right? Affirm. Box, box.

Alexander ALBONThe funks were overheating much more on the second push, especially

Engineerturn four, turn five.

Yuki TSUNODAAnyway, yeah, just for the first push, I think it was okay.

EngineerOn the steer, so I think we're good to keep that. Copy, so at the moment I think the default is still prep fast.

EngineerWe will go to mode push up to corner 7

EngineerFerrari look like going lap one so we've got George at three and a half he's going to give us a tote

Nico HULKENBERGI lost a lot of time going into turn 1 because of the straight. What was that?

EngineerI just tow, Nico, just tow. So it's this headwind instead of a tow.

EngineerSo you want to do the same sequence? Same sequence.

Max VERSTAPPENThat's really terrible.

EngineerURP 14

Charles LECLERCWhat is Ocon doing? He is not pushing.

EngineerNo, we didn't get something right. We definitely didn't get the sock right, Nico, but obviously we got something wrong.

Nico HULKENBERGIt's not going to work out, is it?

EngineerNo.

Alexander ALBONWhat the, what was that snap in the last corner? That f***ed me.

EngineerWho is ahead of me that we are fighting? Ahead of us Alonso to the 21.6

Pierre GASLYAll these guys going for Pujol. Not

Engineereverybody, so we've got 2.5 to Piastri.

Pierre GASLYit feels wrong guys i don't know my temperature are good okay without pushing but all

Engineerright let's go recharge on

EngineerThey're either boxing or going slow, so let's push we're happy with temps

EngineerMax just planning for the next run, overall would you like one attempt or two attempts?

Max VERSTAPPENWell, I think it can be done in one.

EngineerFeedback on balance when you can, you are clear behind.

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, it's

Engineera

Yuki TSUNODAhigh speed, I'm okay with it. It didn't stop me, it's quite open balance, I would say.

Lance STROLL10-2 is really bad Copy, I'll be set 10-2

Pierre GASLYRelying on you guys in temperatures.

EngineerOkay, we'll discuss here

Max VERSTAPPENCan I get an update on the last corner?

EngineerSame recommendation as turn two.

EngineerWhat you have done in terms of outlap it was good for tires

George RUSSELLThat's when picked up

Valtteri BOTTASSame sequence, I guess. Yep, same sequence.

George RUSSELLI've still got a bit of vibration on the front axle this set.

Max VERSTAPPENIt's not easy to get the minus one in after turn one.

Charles LECLERCThere's something there that I don't get. I cannot do anything better on the launch. That's fine,

Engineerthat's fine.

EngineerLet's do what you need to be doing for tyres here.

Charles LECLERCWhat do I do? Nothing. Because I'm not going to... Yeah, I know, but what do I do? Do I respect it or not? I'm already off.

EngineerWell, no, if there are people in front, just pass Russell, but charge off.

Pierre GASLYAbsolutely no grip.

Valtteri BOTTASdon't quite get where the where the placement like from my side there's nothing more so

Max VERSTAPPENI need my toggle opportune 2 so I can do it a bit faster

EngineerIt looks like wind has dropped a little bit here, 5 to 10 kph now.

George RUSSELLJust keep an eye on Piaf Street Radio. I don't want to give him a tug if he's going

Engineeroff. Yeah, so he has been going lap one on previous runs.

Lando NORRISHappy with E4, or did you want A3, John?

EngineerI think you probably know, but that was deleted.

EngineerAh, very

Fernando ALONSOclose. I didn't get in for sure.

Charles LECLERCCan we prep but

Engineerwe don't have time it's tight if we decide now

George RUSSELLTurn 15 will be close to flat. I can do the same for you. Yeah, copy that. So box, box.

EngineerNot a bad lap with the fuel on board, it's half a tenth shy of Russell

Max VERSTAPPENBack down, back down.

EngineerOkay, understood.

EngineerAnd a reminder you can back it out between safety car line 1 and safety car line 2.

Fernando ALONSOYeah, but what do they do, mate? You let me know. Just go slow.

EngineerAnd we've got Russell. We'll get to safety country before Russell. He's coming in last corner.

Lando NORRISYeah, I know, not great, but best we could do, not quick enough football.

Oscar PIASTRIYeah, there wasn't much left in that lap at all, felt pretty sweet.

Carlos SAINZI just feel like I reached a bit of a toe, toe in

Engineera

Carlos SAINZrestraint. I don't understand this strategy.

Charles LECLERCThat's all there was, honestly I don't think there was anything more to do.

Kevin MAGNUSSENSorry, mate. I've been turned 10.

Charles LECLERCNobody is moving, it's crazy.

EngineerIt's not going to work out, is it?

Nico HULKENBERGNo.

EngineerNo, we didn't get something right. We definitely didn't get the sock right, Nico. But obviously we got something wrong. Sorry, man.

Liam LAWSONAlonso purposely slowed up through 9 and 10 when he aborted his lap.

EngineerIt

Liam LAWSONjust sucks man.

EngineerThat was troll.

Pierre GASLYGet a bad job, huh?

EngineerOK, you are through into Q3, excellent job, well done mate.

Kevin MAGNUSSENHow about that? Nice one.

EngineerYeah, we're through. Good job.

Fernando ALONSOYes. Yes. Yes. Yes

Pierre GASLYAHHHHHHHHHH OOOH SO ANNOYING SO ANNOYING

EngineerI can't be wrong, mate.

Engineerand i think you probably know that was deleted very close

Fernando ALONSOi didn't get it for sure they're worth checking because it can be millimeters if anything

George RUSSELLSuper dangerous weather's happen

EngineerThat's a that's an excellent turn around that's pole position.

Max VERSTAPPENLet's go guys Well done. What a turn around Yes Yabba Dabba Doo Max

EngineerThat

Max VERSTAPPENis the first official pole since Austria. Well done. That was a mighty qualifying. Well done, mate Well done. Well done. That was really amazing the turn around great job guys

EngineerHow close? It's P2 55 milliseconds to Verstappen. How about it guys? Good effort again. Yeah, good job. Good driving.

EngineerP5, run

Charles LECLERCout. Ah, that's all there was. Honestly, I don't think there was anything more than today.

Carlos SAINZI just feel like I reached a bit of a toe in a restraint. I don't understand this strategy.

EngineerSo obviously there'll be a bit of waiting Watch out Russell's Pushing On a slow lap. He's pushing on a slow lap is what I was trying to say, but don't worry about your Delta people have Got trapped position on you. So just make sure you've got a gap to the car ahead. It's their problem if they behave like that

EngineerYeah, well done everybody, mega job turning that round, well done, fantastic

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, that was fun, car was much better So then we can send it Half

Engineera tenth to George there, so it's f***ing close

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, last corner, little drift, but it worked

EngineerYeah, excuse my French, by the way

Max VERSTAPPENWell, it sounds lovely to me, that French
