Liam LAWSONOk Léon, that was Alonso, don't worry about it. Yeah I know mate, he's doing exactly what he said he'd do.

EngineerYeah don't stress about it, forget it.

EngineerOh dear, P3, what a lap, could you be amazed?

Liam LAWSONIt was a really good lap. Yeah, I know. It's such a shame. Let's keep it down. Let's keep it down. You've shown what you have to show. That's good. That's all I wanted to do. Exactly.

George RUSSELLI don't know what we're missing compared to yesterday.

EngineerLiam, heads up, obviously when we are aboard this lap, we keep an eye on traffic if people keep pushing behind you.

Pierre GASLYAbout the other cars we

Engineergot quite a queue out here Ferrari's joining the party as well

Fernando ALONSOIn the car in front for sure I will overtake as new tires

EngineerSo

Fernando ALONSOI think it cannot push all the out up. Yeah, as I do

EngineerA bit of weaving here

EngineerSee you on your minimum time. Keep it simple and open that cup.

Franco COLAPINTOMy brake is smoking.

EngineerMeasured wind looks like the sprint.

EngineerNo one can improve. So that puts us poll.

Lando NORRISBeautiful.

EngineerAnd we'd like we'd like to get PU4 position six.

EngineerOrlando scrub 34-0, Carlos scrub 34-1, Fernando scrub 34-4.

EngineerDouble year in front of you. So slow down. Russell in the wall. And box, Charles, box.

EngineerAnd Lando, as soon as they're done with you, happy to fire up and come back.

EngineerOK, recharge on, recharge on. Let's box this lap. We'll keep the speed up on the in-lap. We've got no threats behind. We're currently P1.

Liam LAWSONOk, just to look at, we need to look at turn 12, just the understeer there. I used portal to the last sector to help him, but yeah, that's the main limitation in the lap.

EngineerCopy, do you think we have margin for more flap? Anywhere we are struggling with stability?

Liam LAWSONNo, let's go up another step for the next one.

EngineerCopy.

Carlos SAINZI think we need to unreset the switches. We need to be on double dose. I started it off with a forward spring balance.

EngineerFocus on the high peak stopping the car in a straight line to help get to that apex

EngineerAnd we are happy with your lap time, so we box, just be negative at safety, Caroline.

Charles LECLERCAre you sure?

EngineerWith everything?

Charles LECLERCNot placed.

EngineerSo lap timers wise, we are sure.

EngineerRiccardo sir, unfortunately that's at P16.

Lewis HAMILTONAh, alright guys.

EngineerOK mate, and we are safe and through.

George RUSSELLOh, that was a little bit stressful.

Lance STROLLThe car's getting worse. It's like they're free.

ZHOU GuanyuYeah, the lab was clean, like I said.

EngineerCopy that.

EngineerCaloos, unfortunately that's at P16, looking out for Alonso car behind at 2.5 seconds

Lewis HAMILTONThat was Evans's car I guess

Lance STROLLThis was unsafe from ground front up at the break.

EngineerYeah, we saw that.

EngineerLet's do a normal hot lap, I'll keep you posted on the plan.

Liam LAWSONI can still make it work mate, you just gotta tell me when I start the lap exactly how far back he is and just keep me updated, I'll let the cars go.

EngineerAnd Lando's suggestion, delaying the downshifts into turn 12 might help the rear locking over the bumps.

EngineerTire temps are normal, so normal out lap.

George RUSSELLLet's do what we said that one copy

Engineerthat I'll get that done

George RUSSELLDo you think we need a new tyre now, when the track is plateauing? Yeah, we'll discuss once you get back in the garage.

Yuki TSUNODAI'll tell it to Liam. When he gave me the slipstream, stay at the middle and go to the left end of the straight. I was picking up so much dust in the straight.

EngineerWe passed the message.

EngineerTraffic. So clear on track.

EngineerTo reset your shape and we'll go recharge off. Let's go

EngineerAll right.

EngineerSo, plus 15 on your dash and you would still be safe to the flag.

Sergio PEREZIt was the car I lost some time in 2006.

Sergio PEREZIt's not a good place to give the position

Sergio PEREZIt was very loud

EngineerOK, and that's P13 for us there, the cars behind Stroll and Lawson. OK, so boxing now please, just stay negative on the delta and we'll be stopping outside the front of the garage.

Nico HULKENBERGOh man, I just, no, no, no, no, no.

EngineerYeah, you got bumped out, Niko.

Nico HULKENBERG.04, .04 by Snowder. Wow.

EngineerOkay, Oscar, so with these tyre temperatures, suggest max speed on the straight, but no need to push the front left in 17.

EngineerAnd Lando, trust the car. Don't overload combined. The lap time will come.

EngineerAnd Lando, trust the car, don't overload combined, the lap time will come.

EngineerA little better Kev, 7 and 8 were a little bit better, so good job.

EngineerAnd currently P3 that was a better lap science P2 32.65

EngineerOkay, so the first round of laps are done. You are P5.

EngineerAnd are you happy with the front wing for the next run?

Pierre GASLYYes, sir

EngineerAnd okay Pierre on the next outlet we'll go 160 through sector one so 160 to just try and keep the speed up and try and help the temps. We'll leave the front wing where it is. We're getting our second set on now.

EngineerSo Oscar, for this lap, we know the time's in the car, we don't need to over-push Turn 1, Turn 12, trying to find that time in the braking, because we know it's inconsistent.

EngineerI don't have the Delta and go on. I'll keep calling it, but you're good now. You're negative 3.5.

Sergio PEREZWhat we doing?

EngineerWe're two seconds safe at the moment.

EngineerSo, nice work buddy.

Pierre GASLYNice work, I'm happy. I think we definitely improved the car compared to earlier this morning and yesterday. And there is some good potential.

EngineerAre you alright? Yeah, yeah. The car is safe.

EngineerSorry mate, but great job getting through to Q3 and great improvement there, you know, nothing we could do about that

Kevin MAGNUSSENYeah, good job, man.

EngineerThat's okay, still on the front row mate, and you were up on that lap, so front row till tomorrow.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, all to play for.

Carlos SAINZNo, no, this was a good one. This was a good one.
