13:00MAGMagnussenPitPitOK, Kev, no one went, so we'll just get a good time on the border baseline and then we'll improve from there.0:0713:01FITFittipaldiRadio check. Yep, loud and clear, loud and clear. So you're the only cars on track, you and Kevin in a minute, so no traffic threat from behind.0:1013:02FITFittipaldiKevin's going quite a bit slow.0:0613:02MAGMagnussenPitPitOkay, remember, mode push, mode push.0:0613:04VERVerstappenI already have a flat one because of the Williams guy sending the car out. Unbelievable. What an idiot.0:1113:05PERPerezPitPitSo we're happy for a bit more speed on this straight, just to keep those rears where they are. And a medium brake, turn 11. Okay, so we want to keep these temperatures where they are now.0:1113:08HAMHamiltonJust check the floor, might have some damage. Ok, copy, will do.0:0713:09VERVerstappenPitPitStrat 2, DRS up please, Strat 2, DRS up. Your radio is really cracking up.0:1013:10RUSRussellTyres are nowhere, way too hot. Way too hot. No rear either. Need to take some fluff out. Ten and a half out.0:1313:11HAMHamiltonPitPitSo currently a P7 with that time, just under a second off, so definitely getting lap 1 out of the tyre now.0:1013:12VETVettelPitPitThis is a less full throttle in the outlap, between 10 and 11 and 14, 15, 16, that section, less full throttle in the outlap.0:1313:13VERVerstappenI got stuck with my hand in the cockpit out of turn 6, that's why that happens bad.0:1013:13GASGaslyPitPitPierre, we were very marginal, track limit 121, very marginal. I know, yeah I know. Copy that, we had a warning.0:1013:16GASGaslyPitPitA lot of cars behind you, be careful in the last couple of corners, they don't try to do anything clever.0:0713:17RAIRaikkonenPitPitOK, your brakes are good. Everyone is in phase around you.0:0613:20LATLatifiI s**t spun on the last s**t s**t s**t surface temps were nowhere. Sorry guys.0:1013:20RUSRussellYeah, sorry guys, those tyres were just nowhere. Really, really struggled.0:0913:22FITFittipaldiI can't believe I couldn't improve the last lap. It was too much traffic.0:0713:22RAIRaikkonenPitPitI have it up. Yeah, we're out. 16.0:0713:24MAGMagnussenPitPitGood job, Kev. Good last qualifying. You made some big gains in there. It was a tricky lap with that toe, but you did really good, man. Thanks a lot.0:0913:24FITFittipaldiPitPitI can do a box at the end of this lap, box at the end of this lap, that's the checker, we can use the in button please, in button, and stay negative to the delta. Hi, I couldn't, the f***ing teeth you spun in front of me. Yeah, we saw mate, we saw. That's a solid effort from you with P19, P19, about three tenths off Kevin, good effort man, really good effort, nice job. Thanks man, f*** I can't believe I couldn't improve that last lap. There's too much traffic. Yeah, Kevin got a bit better on the last push, I'm sure you would have had it without that weird start to the lap. Yeah, I had no, I had no, I locked up into turn one, no temps. Copy that dude. That's alright, we executed it the best we could. Yeah man. Good job. Weybridge didn't help a cent. You always gotta get that you guy right, it's ridiculous.1:0013:26SAISainzI shouldn't catch them at the end of my push lap. No, I'm happy. Just focus on the tyre preparation.0:0813:28GIOGiovinazziPitPitMore push, more push.0:0313:29HAMHamiltonPitPitSo waiting for other cars to complete their laps, but to Valtteri, your P1, Valtteri P2, just under half a tenth, sorry, just over half a tenth.0:1013:29GASGaslyPitPitOk, what do you think about the flap for the next run? Shall we go half way? Yeah. Ok, we'll do that.0:0913:31VERVerstappenThe tyre has completely dropped off at the end. What the hell?0:1013:31NORNorrisPin 1 was terrible. I did it because of the tyres, but I felt like I lose a lot there.0:0713:32VERVerstappenPitPitThe lap was looking good until then. Yeah, it needs to be good to hold that.0:0713:33VERVerstappenPitPitThe lap was looking good until then. Yeah, it needs to be good to hold that.0:0613:36PERPerezPitPitWe'll have some rear temp, so you can do some good speed down to turn 11, but just a medium brake.0:0713:36PERPerezPitPitTrack temperature is one degree down, one degree cooler track.0:1013:37GIOGiovinazziPitPitOk, go, go, go. I can't read the squad. Copy Antonio.0:0913:38PERPerezThat's our final qualifying together guys. One more tomorrow. Let's give it all.0:0813:38STRStrollSainz is pushing me on. Forget about Sainz, don't worry about Sainz. Leave him to go, leave him to go.0:0913:39VERVerstappenPitPitOk, so ahead both Mercedes, they are on soft tyres, so their outlaps might be slower than yours, just manage that as you need to. The gap ahead of the Mercs is to Ricciardo, he's already through turn 9.0:1313:39ALBAlbonPitPitOK, so Norris has dropped off, so just think about waking up your fronts, temperatures are looking good.0:0713:40OCOOconYeah, the grip is poor for some reason, guys, at the moment. Copy that, Esteban.0:0713:42VETVettelGave it everything I had. I was copy -paste Q1. No better, no worse. Copy that, thank you.0:1313:43OCOOconWe have a trans tomorrow, don't worry, it's not over.0:0813:45GASGaslyPitPitOk Piast, that's P10, that's P10. Ok, let's go up with the flap. Ok, understood. And think about the next run if you want to do, what you want to do for the next session, if you want to use tyre or we go straight out on you. Think about it. Let's do use, just so we have a banker in case something happens. Ok, understood. Box, box, YG Bridge lights. Yeah, yeah, let's have a look 18 -19 for front grip, maybe I should not use the third toggle or... Yeah, we are checking, stay negative and box.0:3813:48STRStrollPitPitLance, you're 10 seconds before the end, so don't go through the red light.0:0713:49SAISainzSo we see the VAL shape or engine braking that we should try, think about it in the autobahn and let me know. Copy.0:1613:49KVYKvyatPitPitAnd we weave again this straight until the end. Question, should I do the offset for third sector also, like before? Affirmative, affirmative.0:1513:51SAISainzPitPitOK, target a good gap to Gasly, last time your gap was 8 seconds. This is what we cannot accept guys, come on. Refocus, it's a pain.0:1213:52KVYKvyatCurie balance was pretty good for a used tyre. So we should target something like that. What do you think? Agreed. Agreed.0:1213:53GASGaslyPitPitBox, box, box, box. You can reset your switches. Offset 0. Yeah, I need some help for the traction. Yeah, we have to... Okay, we have to deal with it at the moment. There is nothing coming. We'll be good with the new tyre and we follow the plan for the flap. Multi B9, diff, position 6. Multi B9, diff, position 6.0:2613:54VERVerstappenI called to start it up, just because of the traffic.0:0513:54SAISainzBetter route lap. We have it.0:0413:55LECLeclercPitPitReference will be Stroll, P7, 36 .19, and we are losing 1 tenth. Why is the reference Stroll? We are fighting McLaren too. Tell me the time of McLaren. Copy. So Sainz as a reference, new soft, 35 .8, and in terms of sectors, we are losing 2 tenth, sector 1, 1 tenth, sector 2 and 3. Losing 2 tenth, sector 1, and 1 tenth, sector 2 and 3. Track is clear behind.0:3913:57SAISainzPitPitSo, Carlos, the plan for Toys will be as the previous lap. So, Bluebell 4 to open the lap and changing to Bluebell 5 before turn 8. You could also consider Torque 3 for turn 1 only, but it would only be for turn 1.0:1913:58BOTBottasPitPitAll you have, Valtteri.0:0514:01VERVerstappenPitPitPole position, that's the statement right there. Excellent job. Yes! Come on, boys, come! Yes! Well done, Max. Well done, Max. Mega, mega lap. Fantastic middle sector. So it's the first non -Mercedes pole of the year. Well done. Oh, this feels good. Well done, boys. Amazing. Amazing.0:2414:04BOTBottasPitPitAh, bad luck. P2, Verstappen, P1. Oh damn.0:0714:07NORNorrisPitPitP4. P4. Get in. F*** yeah. Nice! One of my better laps. I'm happy with that one. Nice one, mate. Well done. Well done. Good job, mate. Very good lap. Well done. First target accomplished. More tomorrow. I think it's the first time all year I feel like I've actually done an alright lap. Feel the same? Talk about saving it to the last moment, eh?0:3014:07GASGaslyMultibit 2. Difficult. Yeah, that was not good. Multibit 2, safety car 2, stay negative. I don't understand why I struggle so much. 7, or even more understeer, I'm struggling with the snaps on exit. Yeah, we still think we're pushing too hard and hit on 7. On 7 in turn 11. I can't turn the car, like turn 12, I try to carry more speed, but I just go straight. Yeah, that's the limit. We found the limit there. There's no more we could have done. OK, so Dani is P7 and we are P10.0:5214:08SAISainzPitPitOk, everyone's done. You are P6, Carlos. You are P6. Yeah, sorry for that. I f***ed up the spin. Turned 8 -9 and from there it was a snowball.0:1314:10LECLeclercPitPitAnd slow button on, slow button on, target zero on the dash, yep, yep. F***ing straw, straw still needs to complete the lap. Yeah, I don't mind, it's P8 or P9 anyway. We were slow, we've lost good quality. And P9, P9. Yeah, I know, we were slow, we've lost too much. Copy, and target zero on the dash.0:3914:11VERVerstappenPitPitCracking job. Really, really good. We just had to send it. Amazing. That was less than a tenth. There's eight hundredths between you and Hamilton in third. Wow, that makes it even better.0:1914:11STRStrollPitPitSo that's P8, Lance, P8. Good job, mate. Well driven.0:0814:13KVYKvyatDanny P7, fantastic. Yes boy, yes. Good lap. That was good. Oh man, good lap. I enjoyed this so much. Thank you, thank you. It was a nice quali. Great quali Danny, great quali. You can do a very good race from there tomorrow. Good one mate. Thanks Jonathan. It was very good and good car from you guys. Good car, really well done, improved so much.0:37
