14:59HAMHamiltonPitPitSo stay in the fast lane and we'll be leaving in order, 45 seconds until green light.0:0715:00HAMHamiltonPitPitThe rain is on its way, important to get lap 1.0:0515:02BOTBottasPitPitObviously important to get the first lap, so if we go green in 2 seconds or 1 second should be green.0:0815:02RAIRaikkonenPitPitOk Kimi, wind is as yesterday, so tailwind into turn 4, tailwind into turn 4.0:0815:02VERVerstappenPitPitMax, wind direction is as P, well, similar to yesterday. Wind direction is similar to yesterday.0:0915:04ALOAlonsoPitPitOK, Fernando, we're currently P13, there are two cars yet to set lap times, that's Hartley and Gasly. OK, we'll be at the next set before we go. Yeah, we're all over it, stop on your marks please, stop on your marks.0:1615:06BOTBottasSome nice blocking there in the last corner. Yeah, copy that. Being held up in the last corner.0:0715:07MAGMagnussenThere is some drops. Looking pretty dark at the outside of turn 12. Ok, we are ready to go out immediately in case.0:0915:08PERPerezPitPitWe think rain is very close, we think rain is very close.0:0515:08RAIRaikkonenOk, we have some rain here, but it's very light. Understood.0:0715:08SIRSirotkinPitPitIt's very tiny drops already, through turn 14, like just before the pit and trick.0:0815:08VERVerstappenAh, yeah, say this.0:0415:09HAMHamiltonPitPitAnd we're getting reports of rain at turn 12 at the moment, let us know what you think. There was nothing there last time.0:0815:11GROGrosjeanOK, I've got no tyre temp and it's raining a little bit. OK, understood. We don't expect a meaningful level of rain, but understood.0:1115:12HULHulkenbergPitPitOK, Nico, we are currently in P11. Just be careful, you're likely to have it through turn 12 as well.0:1015:14GASGaslyTraining, training. Push, Piero, push.0:0815:14VANVandoorneStarting to rain a bit in the final corner, starting to rain a bit so I think we need to be quick.0:0815:15HARHartleyYeah, big front lock, awesome bit of time.0:0415:15ALOAlonsoThere are drops of rain everywhere, so tell me if the people are going off. OK mate, understood. People are still improving at the moment.0:1015:16SIRSirotkinPitPitOK, so I guess there are still some drops in turn 12, but people are going green in sector 2.0:0815:17GASGaslyPitPitFocus on full throttle for a charge. It's not going to improve anyway. Tell me if others are improving because if not it's not going to push. It's raining more and more.0:1315:19GASGaslyIs the rain gonna increase? Because otherwise we need to exit through the way. Yes, we are on it.0:0815:20STRStrollPitPitP19, that's the end of the session.0:0515:21ALOAlonsoPitPitEnough or no? Sadly it's not I'm afraid, it's not P18, I'm sorry P18. You could wait, you could wait.0:1115:22HARHartleyPitPitWe are P17, Gasly is P12. Yeah, that's annoying. Big flat locking on the first lap, unfortunately. Gap to P15 is 20 milliseconds.0:1315:23LECLeclercPitPitSo there's still one and a half minutes to go.0:0415:24LECLeclercPitPitThere's still a few drops around.0:0415:24HULHulkenbergPitPitSo you can drop back from the car in front, Raikkonen's coming through, drop back, Perez two and a half seconds behind, Perez behind, Perez behind, timed lap. What the ****?0:1315:25MAGMagnussenPitPitOk, definitely more rain is coming, so it will be important the first part, if you want to use the system to stabilise the car in case rain is coming, use diff, engine braking, you know what to do.0:1415:25HULHulkenbergPitPitThe three cars in front are very close together, so they will be bunching up, turn 11 to 12.0:0615:26GROGrosjeanPitPitOK, expecting rain in 4 minutes or so, so this will be the good lap.0:0715:27MAGMagnussenPitPitThis is the best part of the session according to our prediction.0:0515:27RAIRaikkonenPitPitHow is the drag, Kimi? Turn 9 is OK, Stu. If it is dry, Kimi, we are pissed off for fitting the option tyres. Yeah, looks dry so far. But it's raining all the time, so...0:1615:28VETVettelIf you say that it's still drizzling, if you say it's staying like this and not getting worse, it's staying like this, it's staying like this.0:1115:29HAMHamiltonPitPitYou can see the rain coming.0:0315:31HAMHamiltonJust now Kimi, I didn't know which way he was going.0:0315:31SIRSirotkinYeah, I was screwed with the loose.0:0515:31MAGMagnussenPitPitWe probably need to push on the outlapper, because we are expecting rain soon.0:0615:32VETVettelBit more rain now. Now it's heavy rain, 13, 14, quite big drops. OK, copy.0:1015:33GASGaslyPitPitOk, we box. Push, push, another push. We need to communicate better guys. Box, box, stop in front of the garage.0:1315:34HAMHamiltonPitPitSo a rain in the pit lane now.0:0415:37VETVettelPitPitWhat is it now? I can't see anything from here, so if you look out and put your hand out. Yeah, it's raining now. Not heavy rain, but it's raining, so I reckon it's worth to go out with interest to have a look.0:1815:38VETVettelPitPitRain is decreasing now.0:0315:39LECLeclercIt's raining, raining too much, raining too much. No, no, no, no, I want to stay out, we go for one more and I try. No, we don't have the fuel for this, so... Come on, why did we put the fuel for only one time lap with these conditions?0:2215:39VERVerstappenjust not hard luck mate uh two hundreds two hundreds hard luck pal it's all right it's good effort box box and confirm that's a good effort i don't know that's decisive though max yeah would have been nice do you think conditions are good enough to try again i'm not sure mate i i don't think so yeah it's definitely turning harder lap by lap so i don't think so0:3115:41LECLeclercWow, what a lap. I'm happy this time.0:0515:41HULHulkenbergPitPitYep, that was a faster lap time Nico, but unfortunately not enough to improve our position. Anyway, it was worth doing it.0:0815:42GASGaslyPitPitOk, Pierre, P10, P10. Is this clear? Yes, we are. Nice, very nice. Let's finish the job now.0:1415:43VETVettelThey want me to stop at FIA bridge. Hop, speed up! Come on, speed up!0:1615:44PERPerezPitPitOK, checker, yep, so obviously not gaining there, so we just saved that last half a lap of call mode, so I'm afraid P12.0:1615:53VERVerstappenPitPitSo you're aware, Max, Leclerc has set his fastest first sector and, well, he's within scatter on his middle sector, so track looks good.0:1215:54HAMHamiltonThat was a good balance, let's try and get that again.0:0315:59HAMHamiltonToo close to these guys.0:0316:00GROGrosjeanNope.0:0416:02HAMHamiltonPitPitGet in there mate! Awesome job! That's the pole! Ah, awesome work, awesome work mate. So yeah, just under a tenth of a better P2, Valtteri tenth and a half.0:1416:04VETVettelPitPitAnd P2, P2 confirmed. Ah, lost it in turn 8. Mamma mia, I tried. Beginning of the lap was mega.0:1216:04BOTBottasPitPitOK, so it's P3.0:0416:05ERIEricssonPitPitYes! That was a good lap. P7, well done mate, well done. Charlie's P8. Woo! Yes! Mode Q -in and box. Nice. Nice, nice one. Thank you, thank you. Okay.0:1816:06GROGrosjeanPitPitOK, dude, so it's finished. So your P9, Gasly's P10. It's funny, the delta between that Q2 and there, something happened. It feels weird, huh? Yeah. Yeah, it's not the same car anymore, you know, very strange. Copy that, we'll look into it.0:19
