14:02RUSRussellPitPitOk, track is clear, only car on track. And let's go push before the last corner.0:1014:04VERVerstappenBrightness, gonna go down again. Standby, track is clear.0:0814:05VERVerstappenPitPitOK Max, positive on the brakes now, on the run to turn 14, and it'll be VVAL 3 and recharge off when you are ready, VVAL 3 and recharge off when you're ready, nice and positive on the brakes.0:1414:06MAGMagnussenPitPitSo you can manage your outlap and then just make sure you have a reasonable gap to Latifi at the end.0:0914:06VERVerstappenPitPitOK, recharge on, and double slow now.0:0614:07KVYKvyatPitPitFocus on tyres and brakes, big braking when you can.0:0714:08KVYKvyatThe upshift lights are a bit bright, can we do anything about it?0:0714:08SAISainzPitPitCarlos, the big flag looks a bit calmer now, difficult to judge wind with all the following.0:0714:10ALBAlbonPitPitRecharge off, we'll sort the b -bell out on the straight. So b -bell 4 please, b -bell 4.0:0814:11GASGaslyPitPitGood lap here, good lap, shame about the last corner. Box, box, quick in -lap please, quick in -lap. I lost a bit the rear last corner. Yeah, copy that. And I'm afraid turn 11, I think we'll have to deal with it at the moment. We haven't to fix the problem.0:1614:11LECLeclercIt's a mess.0:0514:12OCOOconPitPitYeah, very nice work there. I don't hear. Very nice work, very nice work.0:0714:12GASGaslyPitPitHappy with the flap here? Or you want to take a step more? No, no, I just want to stay in the box. Yeah, okay.0:0914:13LECLeclercPlease, don't send me into traffic like this. Copy.0:0814:13SAISainzYeah, a bit of vibrations on this set from the dive. Copy.0:0814:14RUSRussellPitPitOk, out lap prep was good, so we just need to manage this to open the lap so you are the lead car.0:0714:16ALBAlbonPitPitOK, so just think about your temperatures. As before, the fronts will continue to drop. Rears are not looking too bad.0:0814:17PERPerezPitPitSo we would have some brake temp to keep the fronts. Fronts are dropping more than there is.0:0714:18MAGMagnussenPitPitCheckered flag, checkered flag, press in button and stay negative on the delta time. Press in button, stay negative on the delta time. Good lap, you are ahead of Roman by .02, unfortunately we're outside of the 15, we'll just see how it all settles out, but good job, good lap improvement there.0:2114:19GROGrosjeanI tried too hard mate, I wanted to enjoy it and that car doesn't allow you to enjoy it but good job everyone, thanks and hopefully it's not too bad tomorrow.0:2014:20RUSRussellAudio only14:20GIOGiovinazziPitPitRemember, mine is on target, box this lap, mine is on target. 1, I lost again the 5, from half lap. Copy Antonio. So just, let's focus on quali now, we will... Again? Yeah, copy Antonio.0:1614:21RUSRussellPitPitOK, children, we are through. We are through. Woo! Nice, nice, nice. Nice!0:1414:22STRStrollPitPitOk, Lance, how was that? Yeah, just so much more grip.0:0814:24GROGrosjeanPitPitOK dude, in sync with Leclerc behind, he's just finished, he's timed as well, we're currently P18, P18, yeah, no big surprise there, it's a shame I pick up that understeer in 13. Yeah, there's a snap on the way out as well I guess from the understeer, just three hundredths to Kevin, P18 ahead, which has dropped down to P19. OK, I tried too hard mate, I wanted to enjoy it, and that car doesn't allow you to enjoy it, but good job everyone, thanks, and hopefully it's not too bad tomorrow. Yeah, copy that mate, and that's a good recovery from where we were at the beginning of P3.0:4314:27OCOOconPitPitOK, let's go.0:0314:28SAISainzAudio only14:28OCOOconPitPitOkay, let's go.0:0314:28SAISainzPitPitOk, so far only Gasly and Kvyat have gone on soft, all other cars on medium. The Toro Rosso only have one medium tyre, Carlos, so no big surprise.0:1414:29LECLeclercPitPitAnd we have headwind at turn 4.0:0514:30OCOOconPitPitNeed to wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Good to go.0:1014:31OCOOconPitPitYellow turn 1, single yellow turn, double yellow turn 1, double yellow turn 1.0:0814:31SAISainzYeah, there's no drive, it's like something is blocked at the rear, like the rear tyres are blocked.0:0814:31LECLeclercPitPitAnd Sainz is stopped at turn 1. He stopped? Yeah, stopped at turn 1, I think he spun or something.0:1314:33GASGaslyPitPitOn clear we will go to prime, we will go to prime on the next run. We think there is time for one run. It looks like a lot of tailwind in turn 1 this lap.0:1114:33HAMHamiltonPitPitSo Lewis, we will go to the other set of medium tyres. Let's use these.0:0914:34STRStrollHow long is the red flag going to be? So the red flag we don't know yet, it's till they recover Sainz. Won't be long. Why's that Lance? Cause I gotta be. Can I be like 2 minutes super quick? You can be, we're going to go on soft tyres now for your info. Is that ok?0:2314:34STRStrollHow long is the red flag gonna be? Why is that, Lance? Cause I gotta pee.0:0714:37SAISainzOK, copy. Something broke on the car. Come on. No, don't tell me this. There's no drive. It's like something is blocked at the rear, like the rear tyres are blocked. Any default I have to do? Copy. Can you hear me, Tom? Yes, Carlos, I hear you. It's like the rear tyre is locked. We're looking at it. It does look like the rear tyre is locked. We're just trying to confirm. We're just trying to confirm. Carlos, the FIA are happy for us to try and restart. Stand by till I give you the call on that. Any default to unlock the rear tyres? Stand by. We're just checking the gearbox. Carlos, we're just going to check for another 30 seconds and then I'll let you know. Carlos, you can get out, but go to P0 before you do. Make sure the steering wheel is off before you get out. Cutting that down.1:0414:39VERVerstappenPitPitFeel free to get yourself ahead of Norris if you need to for tyres, Max.0:0514:39NORNorrisPitPitSo Lando, there's only two cars behind you at the moment, Albon and Perez, so just do what you want, doesn't matter if they come past you.0:0914:41VERVerstappenPitPitLook after this set, it's a potential race start set.0:0514:42ALBAlbonWhere am I losing the time? It's mainly middle sector, a little bit 6 -7, a little bit 8 and a little bit 9.0:1614:44STRStrollPitPitEveryone has gone medium, everyone has gone medium, we're the same as everyone.0:0914:46OCOOconPitPitDo not give Leclerc a tow. Avoid Leclerc tow.0:0614:48VETVettelI had a couple of bubbles.0:0714:49OCOOconPitPitOK, you finished a P8 in that session on 28 .9, obviously there was some track improvement after that, so I think that was really good, in the circumstance that was really good, excellent. Copy. There's only two cars around soft, that was Albon and Norris. Copy. Both Ferraris are out, as is Stroll. Yeah, a little bit too much front end, I think we're a bit...0:2914:49STRStrollPitPitThat's P13, Lance, P13. Ah, there goes the miscommunication. Speak about it after.0:1414:51RUSRussellYeah, good effort guys, I had no grip on the used quali tyre, but yep, good job anyway.0:1014:51VETVettelWe'll see what we can do tomorrow. Let's be sly fox mode tomorrow.0:0814:51RUSRussellYeah, good effort guys, I had no grip on the used quali tyre, but yep, good job anyway.0:0814:58GASGaslyPitPitWe need a good braking turn 11. Make sure we get a good braking turn 11, turn 14.0:0715:00KVYKvyatI think for the used tyre it was in the ballpark, the balance, so I wouldn't change a lot more.0:1015:01VERVerstappenYeah, I don't have the same rear grip, even compared to FB3, so I don't know what's going on. The tyres went really hard. OK, understood.0:1315:03VERVerstappenPitPitHow was the front wing offset? Yeah, that's good. Leave it for the next run? Yeah, just, we need to slow down down real quick. OK, understood. Main deficits I think you can see to Hamilton are turns 4 and 7.0:1915:03OCOOconPitPitOK, Verstappen, so, first sector was absolutely awesome, second sector we lost a little bit of time, and final sector was good as well. Yeah, copy, I lost tyres. OK. OK, understood. Hopefully good learning for the next run then.0:1915:04GASGaslyPitPitLast corner again is where we lose too much time, last corner again. What's the main limitation there? I have no grip, no grip, like no rear. Same story since Q1. OK, shall we take some flaps off? It seems to be working out for the other car. Yeah. OK, let's try that. No need to drop in the end lap. Box, box. I don't feel very good grip, I must say. OK, we will see for the next set.0:3415:05RICRicciardoOK, actually, probably lost the front more than the rear, particularly early in the lap. OK, understood.0:1515:05GASGaslyLet's try to be at the front of the queue, I would say. Let's try to be at the front of the queue, otherwise we'll have a pull -out lap.0:1315:06GASGaslyThe rear left is a bit hotter. Take it is in turn 6 on turn 12. Take it is in turn 6 on turn 12. You can help us. Good braking while you can.0:1315:09HAMHamiltonPitPitLewis, you're on pole. Great work, guys.0:0815:09VERVerstappenPitPitGood effort, Max. You got everything out of it you could. Well done. Yeah, luckily, starting on the clean side.0:1015:11KVYKvyatPitPitP10, Dani, P10. Again, more difficult with the rear, with this flap. I should have done that in the end, but you never know. Stop FIA bridge, stop FIA bridge, P1, wait for the signal, MP0.0:1815:12BOTBottasPitPitSo that's P2, I lose P1, there's a 3 tenths, there's 2 tenths sector 3, and half a tenth in the first 2 sectors. Good job Valtteri.0:2015:12ALBAlbonPitPitWell done Alex, you can bring it back now.0:0615:12NORNorrisPitPitAnd recharge on, I'll keep you updated. F***ed up turn 1, sorry about that. Understood. Let's have multifunction white H9, position 14 please, white H9, position 14. And you've finished P9. Alright, well I mean I messed up turn 1, maybe lost a tenth or something, but the rest of the lap was decent, so there wasn't that much more in it. OK mate, just a reminder, when you get to Parc Fermé, pause for 5 seconds, P1, pause for 5 seconds, P0, key thing is we got Q2 right. Well done.0:4915:13PERPerezPitPitP5, Checo, P5, Albon just a couple of hundreds ahead. Well done, Checo. Good job, guys. Well done. Yeah, well done. It's all very close. Good lap there at the end.0:1715:15RICRicciardoPitPitJust looking at that, that is P5, nice job mate, Esteban, P6, yes, yes, correction, P6, sorry, P6, Perez just jumped to P5, okay, oh, no.0:2315:15GASGaslyPitPitCharge your battery for tomorrow, we need full throttle, we need to start with the full battery tomorrow, and stay negative. Yeah, that was a good lap. We can push a bit more, stay negative. Still two cars to come mate, so I will stomp down. Currently P6, Albon and Ricciardo went in front. Ok sorry Pierre, that's P8, so we've been jumped by the Renault and the Perez. So, P8 for us, P10 for Danny. To be fair, I didn't have much more, sorry. What's the gap, P5? It's a tenth, a little bit more than a tenth. Very very tight, all very tight. And stop FIA bridge, stop FIA bridge. When you stop the car, P1, wait for the message, and then P0. Good job, good recovery, wasn't an easy one, but I think we put it together in the end. Thank you.1:0915:17OCOOconPitPitGreat job Esteban, great job mate. Yeah that was close. I thought it was a good lap, just brake a bit early, in 2 .13, alright. I thought it was excellent, well done mate, really good session all round, thank you very much. Yeah it's good stuff for tomorrow guys. Yep, also mate.0:20
