17:01GASGaslyThe wheels are a lot hotter than it was this morning. It's ok Pierre, it's ok from our side. Target will be zero, zero, zero, zero.0:1217:03SIRSirotkinPitPitOK, a couple of good stops here.0:0317:03RAIRaikkonenThe wind has turned or? Looks like it has turned.0:0717:04HAMHamiltonPitPitAre we going first or second? We're first, thanks, Alphys choice.0:0817:05PERPerezPitPitCheco, we'll be asking you for a bit more speed on the straights, a bit more speed on the straights.0:0617:07STRStrollAlright, traffic turn 3, Vettel. Yeah, copy, yeah, copy, that's a bit late in the wake.0:0817:08OCOOconPitPitHow is the balance? Balance is good.0:0517:11GROGrosjeanPitPitOkay, we've got wind from the north, so headwind in 3.0:0517:12HAMHamiltonPitPitI don't think we really need to compare sectors to Vettel, there's a mode difference, you're going to have a Ricciardo coming through.0:1017:15HULHulkenbergPitPitCurrently P7. Nice lap. Good lap that was. Good tow as well. Yeah, worked out quite nicely. I need some hasn't to prepare the other helmet. I need a helmet change. Copy that, Nico.0:1817:15OCOOconPitPitSo these tyres are a bit hotter on the rear now, they are hotter than the previous set, so you won't need to push quite as hard on this set on the out lap.0:1117:20GASGaslyPitPitI lost everything, I lost everything, I lost all the power, now I have 7 tenths up, smoke, smoke at the back of the engine. Ok, Alonso behind is first here, no power, no power, no power. Stop the car, stop in a safe place, stop the car, stop the car in a safe place.0:2517:20ERIEricssonPitPitWe are through mate, we are through. Copy. What a good lap.0:0717:22SIRSirotkinPitPitSo that's our session done, we were P19, Lance was P20. Tough, tough, but that was back to normal guys, the car was quite good to be honest. That was a good recovery from your side, well done, see you in a minute. Far off from cut -off? Several tenths. Yeah, no way.0:2717:25LECLeclercThat was a cool lap, apart from sector 3. Are we good or not good at the moment? Yes, we were ok, we were good. Peace heaven at the moment.0:1217:25ALOAlonsoPitPitAnd Fernando, we are through, we are through. That's P14. That, my friend, is magic. Well done. I enjoyed the laps. Yeah, still not fast enough, but good effort. Let's see what we can do now. You too. Exactly. Well done, mate.0:2217:27ALOAlonsoPitPitAnd Fernando, we suggest on this lap trying the right hand toggle for the final two corners, 20 and 21. That's the right hand toggle.0:1017:32OCOOconPitPitEsteban, do you think you can go faster on another ultra soft? Not a lot, but there is track improvement I think.0:1017:34HULHulkenbergPitPitOK, Nico, so when they're done, restart on MGVK. P1, no, I'm in P1, but they're saying they don't touch the car because of the light. I need to go P0? No, don't go to P0, Nico, please don't go to P0. The car is safe, the car is safe.0:1817:34VERVerstappenYo, that was pretty .0:0417:34VETVettelPitPitLet us know if you can go faster. Yes I can. If I have a clean lap and no traffic in the last sector, I would say 0 .4.0:1117:38RAIRaikkonenPitPitWe are considering which tyres for the next run. Kimi, any preference on your side? For sure we can go a bit faster with the new set -up, if the tyres work.0:1117:40ALOAlonsoPitPitLet's have one more magic lap, mate.0:0417:44ALOAlonsoPitPitOk Fernando, well done mate.0:0617:44ERIEricssonPitPitYeah, P12 confirmed, P12 confirmed. Not too bad, not too bad. It's a very strong position for the start of the race. Three shows of tyres. Well done, mate. Okay, thank you.0:1317:45SAISainzPitPitYeah, I'm out, right? Yeah, P11, sorry mate. Yep.0:0717:46VETVettelPitPitThe track's getting better for the rear, so we can add a little bit of front wing. OK, good. OK, do I have time for a quick pee? You have four minutes, four minutes to last. Yeah, I can make it. OK, real quick.0:1817:46RICRicciardoPitPitOK, abort Daniel, abort, slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down. OK, so we got through on the ultra? Yes, we got through on the ultra mate, nice job, we ended up P10. OK, nice.0:1517:48LECLeclercPitPitFor the last run, if you could give me a car in front, it would be perfect, like now. Copy.0:0917:49GROGrosjeanAre the numbers correct or upside down? Looks strange, I'll come back to you. Not sure why, I think the left sides are the fronts and the right sides are the rears, ok? So just do your outlap as you feel right.0:1517:53GROGrosjeanPitPitThat was a good lap. Okay. Maybe we can put that one in the book. Okay. It's in the book. Nice one.0:0817:54VERVerstappenWhat are the gaps to the guys in front? Ok, so you're P6, 35 .5, ahead of you Raikkonen 35 .5, Daniel 35 .4 in P4, Bottas 35 .4 in P3, then 35 .3 for Sebastian, then 35 .2 for Hamilton.0:1717:58VERVerstappenThese tyres are way warmer out of the box. They're still in a good window. They're still in a very good window.0:0817:59HAMHamiltonPitPitIs the wind still the same? Affirm, it looks to be the same. So headwind into 5 and tailwind into 8.0:1018:03HAMHamiltonPitPitYes! Fantastic, Lewis. That's P1, but Valtteri sat right next to us, P2, Vettel, P3. How close was it? So, tenth and a half to Valtteri, just over three tenths to Vettel.0:1918:04BOTBottasPitPitOK, so Vettel is P3, so front row lockout, good job Valkyrie, good job.0:0718:05VETVettelMP3, P3. Ok guys, I tried everything. Maybe there was half a tenth in the car in the last sector. Was really good in the first run. Mi ringrazio. Grazie ragazzi. The lap was very strong. Well done Deo. Tomorrow we fight.0:2118:08RICRicciardoPitPitOK, our Rykernet just pipped us by half a tenth there, so we've finished P5, mate. Did you say half a tenth? Yeah. OK. It's a good effort, Daniel. Yeah, you were purple in the last sector there, so points for tomorrow.0:1818:08VERVerstappenNo, f**k, what a f**king disaster, ah f**k it, unbelievable, ah mate, already out of the garage, the tyres are just too hot, and you can say they're in a good window, but I'm just having to cool them down.0:1818:09GROGrosjeanYeah, you're P7. That's done. Yes! My second wasn't bad either. Fantastic job, Roman. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Good job, guys on the car. Really good job. Very happy.0:1818:10LECLeclercWell done guys. Great way to finish the season. Honestly, from where we have been starting the weekend, it's great to be in Q3 and second to best of the race. Now, let's finish on a high tomorrow.0:1818:11HULHulkenbergPitPitAnd I'm afraid we are P10, two thousandths of a second slower than Ocon. Damn, I just wasn't in there, it just seemed like it was going away from me, the great brother didn't come in.0:17
