13:00GASGaslyPitPitOkay, let's go.0:0413:00GASGaslyPitPitWe need to synchronize second gear, synchronize second gear.0:0613:05GROGrosjeanPitPitAny thoughts on aero balance? I don't know. It's very imbalanced, so it's tricky to say. But I think we can put on 0 .3 and try. OK, understood.0:1413:07HAMHamiltonPitPitAnd just remember track limits at turn 11.0:0513:07VETVettelLocked up for turn 1. Box. OK, copy, box.0:0613:09OCOOconAnd I went off in 13 now. Copy that.0:0613:11VERVerstappenPitPitWe're happy with that, Max. Thank you, box.0:0513:11GASGaslyI have massive tooling on braking. Yeah, you need to work on brakes, work on brakes on the outlap.0:0813:13ALOAlonsoYes, Fernando, the pace is there, don't worry about it. Yes, you only need to turn the stoffel on the high -speed section. Only that was the job of the qualifying. OK, understood.0:1513:13OCOOconBalance, low speed is ok, do we lift? It's a bit of a problem. Copy that.0:0613:13HARHartleyPitPitYeah, it's not going to work mate. You should send me out at a better position.0:0513:17HARHartleyCan you let me by so I have a bit of protection from behind? Negative, negative, we do our lap. Position is good, there is nobody behind, car behind is 10 seconds. Focus on your lap Brandon, we are in a good position.0:1513:21SIRSirotkinThat was rubbish lap.0:0413:22STRStrollPitPitSo this is P19, so Sergei Perugni's P20, yes. I made it back on the track after turn 8, it's impossible to get behind the Ballard. OK, understood.0:1513:22MAGMagnussenPitPitSo we are P18 and Romane P16, so we are both out.0:0613:22GROGrosjeanPitPitOk, just got bumped. P16, yep. 0 .05 out. Done it. And a good improvement on that lap, sorry it wasn't through.0:1913:22HARHartleyJLP is backing me up guys, what the f***. There is traffic in front of him Brendan, it's the same for everyone.0:0813:25BOTBottasPitPitSo, rear's in a bit better region than on the previous run.0:0613:29HAMHamiltonPitPitOK Lewis, so box, box, box, box, potential, a race start set, so just get your delta negative and look after the tyres.0:0913:29VERVerstappenDo you think that's good enough? Yep, we're happy with that. Box, pick up, perm.0:0613:32VERVerstappenPitPitIt's likely to be your race start set of tyres, mate. That put you P1, top 6 on ultras, 15 .6, so you lost quite a bit of time in sector 3 as well, and it's still looking quite a little bit neutral into some low -speed turns. Yeah, very neutral. Is that just balance or engine issues? A bit of both.0:2613:33ALOAlonsoPitPitOK Fernando, on used tyres, that sector 1 was really good, so I think there's time here for us.0:0613:33OCOOconPitPitEsteban, how was the balance on that set then? It's always the entry, mainly. Copy that. So, for the next set, what would you do? We don't have much option, do we? Drop a bit of flaps probably, but it's not going to help much. Copy that.0:2113:37ALOAlonsoPitPitOk Fernando, we are the first car out, so let's drive this out lap exactly how you want it.0:0713:41HARHartleyYeah, I messed it up, sorry guys.0:0413:42ALOAlonsoPitPitOK, Fernando, that is P12, P12, good job, well done, mate. OK, yeah, I think that's good. And, Fernando, a bit of information for you, the Force Indias have used theirs prime, so Ocon is in P11, then yourself in P12, Perez in P13, Hartley in P14 and Gasly P15.0:2313:43OCOOconPitPitSo, Esteban, that's P11, P11. Good job. That's what we targeted, right? Copy that, copy that. We were only two tenths shy from Q3.0:1413:49BOTBottasPitPitSo the Renaults are on all tyres, so don't let them through.0:0513:52VERVerstappenPitPitOK, that's P1, round 1.0:0313:54VERVerstappenPitPitHow was the balance and how was the grip on the rears through the lap? Better like this. Have you got grip for the final corners? Yeah. Understood. 2 tenths clear at Vettel, 3 tenths on Hamilton, 3 tenths on Daniel, 4 on Bottas.0:1813:57HULHulkenbergPitPitIt's not good for me. Not clear in front, Carlos.0:0514:00RICRicciardoPitPitOK mate, you have P1 just for Stappen to finish his lap, it's going to be pretty close.0:0614:03RICRicciardoPitPitAnd he finished P1. Nice job, mate. Good lap. Ah! That was a very good lap. Nice job. Well done, Daniel. It was a mega lap. Mega lap. Well done. Thanks, legends. Right, you need to speed up. You need to be negative. Push a bit more, please. Negative on the way in. I know you're having a nice time, but positive is not good. Speed up. I'm stoked. I can tell. So, joining you on the grid will be Verstappen by 300. Hamilton, 10th, behind you. Nice job, mate. And P0, please.0:5414:04VERVerstappenPitPitNo, P2, pit, three hundredths by Daniel, pit, right at the last, I know it ain't the number you wanted, you've been solid all weekend, hot two tomorrow.0:1514:04HAMHamiltonPitPitNice work Lewis. So that's P3 mate. Awesome job there. So we've got Ricciardo P1, Verstappen P2. So you're P3, Vettel P4, Valtteri P5. Looking a lot better than we looked yesterday.0:1614:06VETVettelPitPitOk guys, I had to try a little bit more, didn't come out. Ok understood, good effort.0:1014:08HULHulkenbergPitPitThat was awesome, Nico. P7. Fantastic. Thank you, mate. Good job. That was intense. Certainly was. But it went the right way for us. That was awesome. Thank you. Lovely job. Lovely job, Lee. And as you probably noticed, both houses went out in Q1.0:2614:10SAISainzPitPitNice job, P8. By how much do you mean, P7? About two tenths, Carlos. Yeah, that's not good enough.0:0914:10LECLeclercPitPitSo, Charlie, we have P9, P9, 1 tenth missing to Sainz, and about 3 tenths to Hülkenberg. I mean, I don't think I could have done much better, but from turn 12, I did a mistake. It was overall a good lap. The car was difficult to drive somehow. Anyway...0:22
