EngineerOk Logan, at the moment only one other car is on track, the track is clean, so focus on warm up now.

EngineerSynchronize all the gears and you know the target brakes and tires.

EngineerAll okay on traffic and the mode push, mode push.

ZHOU GuanyuCar moving up in sector 1, the rest is ok.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerOk, main loss is a min 5, front flap adjust. Copy.

EngineerOkay, Logan. Feedback on tires, please.

Logan SARGEANTQuite good. I felt like I was losing the rear last sector though, but opened well.

EngineerCopy.

EngineerSo Daniel, only losses to Yuki are entry turn 4, we lose around half a tenth, Yuki is carrying a bit more speed in entry and breaking minimum speed turn 14, where we also lose half a tenth, you are lifting a little bit more. I see turn 10 and turn 12 stability is still on the lower side. I would suggest to go one click forward on the offset before turn 10.

Engineerwind similar to fp3

George RUSSELLDon't think I would improve on the same set of tyres. Copy that, Simon, at 3. I'd be happy to save this set for Q2.

Lance STROLLIt's only impeded by the Williams. Yeah, it's alright, it's alright, I'll have a look.

Yuki TSUNODAWell, I don't know what we're missing I thought that was good lap

EngineerYeah We show you the compare in the garage All the think on flap.

Yuki TSUNODAI will say similar. Yeah, I was pretty happy with this balance understood and I think maybe we should open one step of the diff straight

EngineerOkay,

Yuki TSUNODAafter 10-3

EngineerAnd how's the balance so far?

Pierre GASLYBalance is good, it's improved compared to P3.

EngineerOK. And tyre readiness, any comments?

Pierre GASLYThat was good, but I lost sector as well.

EngineerOK, copy.

EngineerI

Alexander ALBONwas sliding too much in sector 1, I don't know the size one there compared to the previous one.

EngineerYeah we can see that the snap in turn one too. Okay so at the moment p12 but obviously yeah okay

Alexander ALBONwell then we need to do the tracking as well.

Yuki TSUNODAThat was

Engineera

Yuki TSUNODAgood lap.

EngineerYeah, it was ok. Unfortunately, it was not enough. But yeah, this is what we had.

Yuki TSUNODANo, we didn't go through.

EngineerNegative.

Yuki TSUNODANo man, come on.

EngineerYeah.

EngineerOkay, Kevin, unfortunately we are out. We are P16.

Logan SARGEANTYeah, it's been a painful weekend guys. I'm trying my best.

EngineerYeah, good job. Keep pushing tomorrow. Exactly, never give up.

EngineerOK, so at the moment, P12, but obviously, yeah, OK, well, let's do the tracking as well. I

Alexander ALBONthink we should have held off on that sickle first one. Afterwards.

EngineerSo still no cars left the pit lane, it's just yourself on track.

EngineerMake sure you've got that gap between pit exit and SC2.

Engineerneed to

Lewis HAMILTONwatch this queue next time as it's down here waiting.

EngineerYeah copy Lewis, yeah that front right probably wants a little bit more work so just left hand let's just get that front right.

EngineerYeah, that was a good lap. Three seconds to Norris, so let's watch out for Norris, 1.5.

Pierre GASLYYeah, let's just check the floor, left side, when I come back, last corner, I run a bit on the left.

EngineerOkay, we'll have a look. It'll be fine.

Lewis HAMILTONYes sir, I was back.

EngineerOkay, copy.

Carlos SAINZOk, let's take the 0.1 up now, it's a bit more stable, I think we are through.

EngineerCopy, we are through.

EngineerReally time to find is in sector 3. I think you know where that's going to come from and just be mindful of cars on Outlaps where we can get the tow

EngineerSo first car pushing is Hamilton, 17 seconds back. And then Bottas is seven behind him.

Fernando ALONSOWith Joe about... Okay, you tell me. I will, yeah. Which car you will grab.

EngineerAnd then behind Bottas is Joe, only four behind him. So I think behind Joe is going to be our gap.

EngineerAnd Oscar, a reminder the Delta still needs to be close to zero. Opening the lap, obviously you have let Karls through. Maximum plus 20 for the flag.

EngineerP11, P11 sorry, very tight margins couple of hundredths ahead

EngineerP-13, Nico, P-13. So yeah, good improvement. Not quite enough. P-10 was 0.2 quicker.

EngineerSo P-12, Ocon P-10 with a 12.1.

Valtteri BOTTASOK, good job. It's what I've done before, so some progress.

EngineerYeah, same to you. You've been good all weekend.

EngineerAnd the wind is similar to previous one

EngineerSo just one degree short on target temp at the moment, looking good.

EngineerIt just looked like the wind had picked up a little bit there Max.

EngineerHow's the balance on that U-set?

Esteban OCONYeah, struggling a little bit more

EngineerWith

Esteban OCONthe grip in lower speed

EngineerIs that from the rear?

Esteban OCONNo, yeah, no more, no, no more on the STI, it's similar in terms of balance, so That tells us that that's the way to go probably

EngineerYeah, I understood

EngineerWe

Max VERSTAPPENcan talk about it. The cars. So many cars.

George RUSSELLLewis doing prep on that lap?

EngineerJust it's fine. Well, we'll talk about it afterwards head in the game

EngineerSo Lando there is 2 minutes 40 to the flag. The number I'm thinking about in my head which might help is 12 it's 12

George RUSSELLHow low to keep the pace up?

EngineerYeah, I've been asking for that

EngineerOkay, you'll have to turn the car fully off Oscar don't panic about that starting p10 you've got a quick car and we can gain back

EngineerHave that, Paul. Let's f***ing

Lando NORRISgo, baby.

EngineerLet's f***ing

Lando NORRISgo. Woo!

Max VERSTAPPENThat's it? Yeah, P2 max, hard luck. Yeah, it's good. The car felt a lot better in quality, so nice little trouble with check, I guess we really extracted everything.

EngineerYeah, well done, mate. That was a very, very solid qualifying, very well done, and only two hundredths in it, so all on for tomorrow.

EngineerOkay, this that's a p3 great

Lewis HAMILTONeffort guys you're getting closer you got to keep pushing

Pierre GASLYIt's ok, we'll get P8 tomorrow with Perez now. Perez is actually P8 already. Yeah, but that's without the penalty, right?

EngineerYep.

Pierre GASLYYeah, so 57 and P8 for the team, so that's good. Yep, good session mate, so let's focus on fuel saving.

Charles LECLERCOk, well we did a good job on recovering from yesterday in terms of feeling, but of course disappointed with the result, but anyway, we've got the race tomorrow.

EngineerYeah, let's focus on the race tomorrow, you did a good job anyway, thank you.

Carlos SAINZWe have V6. That's quicker than I thought they would go. Yeah, what do you think?

EngineerIt

Carlos SAINZwas quite quick, no? Yeah, it was quite quick, yeah.
