15:00VANVandoornePitPitJust check the light in the pit exit should go green now. Okay, okay, so good warm -up lap, warm -up on brakes and focus on the fronts, okay.0:2015:00VANVandoornePitPitOK, so good warm -up lap, warm -up on brakes, and focus on the fronts.0:0815:02MAGMagnussenPitPitSo let's just put the temperature on front tyres and then we will drop the rear, especially in the last sector.0:0715:03LECLeclercPitPitQuali push, quali push.0:0415:05GROGrosjeanPitPitYou were 0 .24 quicker than Kevin. I don't know if you want to try something different at 11 since you had so much understeer in the difficult exit. If you want to try the more shape on the funk. Which one is it? Funk 4 will give you more shape in 11.0:1715:06ALOAlonsoPitPitThe clouds are getting darker.0:0415:09LECLeclercPitPitRed flag, red flag.0:0315:09PERPerezPitPitYou're just coming up to it now, Checo. It's Ericsson, turn 7 to 8. It's Ericsson, turn 7 to 8.0:0915:11HULHulkenbergWhere was that, what corner? Ah, sorry, I didn't see. Looks like 8.0:0815:14PERPerezCopy, it's all ok with the engine, it's just the lack of deployment on the back straight and main straight. Checo, it's happy, we're happy with it, we're happy with it.0:1215:14HULHulkenbergPitPitNico, there was a shower earlier across turn 13 -14, so just be careful of those corners on your out lap.0:0915:16GROGrosjeanPitPitRoman, Kevin has a battery problem, he needs to recharge, he needs to push on this lap, if you can let him pass, he's just going to push and pull away from you. Go now, go now. Thank you very much Roman, thank you.0:1215:17SAISainzPitPitOK, recharge on, can we have a quick end lap please? Good lap.0:0615:17SAISainzYeah, one step up on the flat. Understood.0:0515:18PERPerezPitPitIn cool, in cool, work on full throttle, work on full throttle, cool lap and one more timed, cool lap and one more timed.0:1215:19VANVandoornePitPitStoffel, it looks like you pulled an accidental upshift, then downshift, exit of turn 7. Can you confirm that was you, or do we need to exchange the steering wheel? No, that was me, that was me. OK, copy. Yeah, also this outlap was not great, tyres were cold to start. Confirm.0:1915:22HULHulkenbergPitPitWe don't have anything serious down here at the moment. Could work in our favour anyway.0:0715:24STRStrollPitPitNice, okay, currently P11, subcar still to run, standby.0:0615:27GASGaslyCheck again, out of 11, some holes on power. We saw them, we saw, we are checking. And we are P10, P10. OK. What about flap? The car was good, the car was good, just turned 11, still a bit the same, washout at the apex. Obviously overall I was happy with the car. Still a bit understeer, 10 -14, but I will do the normal step from now on. Copy.0:3515:33HAMHamiltonPitPitSo nothing really on the radar to speak of.0:0415:36GASGaslyThere is a track and there are a few drops of rain.0:0515:39GASGaslyPitPitWhat about flap, Pierre? What about flap? I think it was okay, just understeer. Turn forward didn't quite a lot, but I'll use the tools to do something there. Copy.0:1615:41HAMHamiltonPitPitAnd Nathan, if you can have a look left -hand side of the floor, we run a bit wide on a kerb. I didn't really run wide anywhere. OK, we just saw a bit of oscillation just on the rear wheel speed, so we just have to check it. OK, left side.0:1815:42BOTBottasPitPitSo we're seeing more rain here, Valtteri says it's up to you, but don't risk the car. It's good to flip right, box. Copy that, box, box, box.0:1115:53RAIRaikkonenPitPitAnd we will wait for 30 seconds in front of the pit lane.0:0615:55HAMHamiltonPitPitOK, so maybe some rain around Spoon.0:0515:56HARHartleyPitPitWe need high speed weaving, high speed weaving, and we need to synchronize all the gears. Position is good.0:0716:01VERVerstappenWe have to take some fuel out. Yep.0:0516:02HAMHamiltonPitPitIt'll be hitting turn one first.0:0416:03VETVettelHeavy rain, heavy rain. Copy that. Let me know if this is getting worse.0:08
