12:00BOTBottasPitPitA few cars queuing at the end.0:0512:00KVYKvyatPitPitTyre on extreme. The rotary tyre on extreme.0:0712:00HAMHamiltonPower.0:0712:01SAISainzPitPitIt's about a 50 -50 split at the moment between WET and Inter.0:0512:02RICRicciardoPitPitOK, and for info, we've got some rain approaching around turn 8 in the next few laps, so... OK. OK, so Verstappen really struggling on Indus ahead.0:1512:02VERVerstappenNo, don't move it. Copy.0:0912:03VERVerstappenI've no grip. Head to the McLaren.0:0712:03GROGrosjeanPitPitOkay, the... it's a bit carnage here mate. The four seniors overtaking by, of the track. Darknose 3 on the right tyre. Possibly more rain could be coming, but not for immediately, we could try... Yeah, box, box, box, box, box. Copy that. Box, Roman.0:2412:03SAISainzCannot keep it on track, nearly.0:0412:04ALBAlbonPitPitWhat do you think to these tyres? Any better? Question? A little bit.0:0612:05SAISainzWhy are you sure? Look at Raikkonen. Yeah, I'm looking at Raikkonen, but on balance, Carlos, the Inter still looks good.0:0912:05SAISainzPitPitSo far Inter looks best, Inter looks best.0:0712:05KVYKvyatWe are on the right tyre, but I'm stuck behind them.0:0612:05BOTBottasPitPitSo, rain in five.0:0612:06SAISainzFull wet, I think. Just to try.0:0512:06SAISainzStarting to rain a lot. Carlos, so far is very mixed between the two compounds.0:0812:06VERVerstappenI'm raining heavily now. Can't take my hands off the wheel.0:0812:07NORNorrisI think a new inter, I'm pretty sure it's going to be better, but I don't know what the guys on the wets are doing.0:0912:08NORNorrisPitPitI'm losing too much grip. Yep, we're trying to work out... Yep, okay, understood. Understood, we're trying to work out which tyre to box for. Yeah, it's raining super hard on the back, so I'm going to say wet. Okay, understood, good message. Yeah, it has to be wet. Understood. It's raining too much, I'm aquaplaning. Yeah, it's cool.0:1912:08BOTBottasPitPitSo, Valtteri, let me know if it's raining too much. Yeah, it's getting too much. So, box, box, box. We are P2. Previous lap has been disallowed.0:1312:09HAMHamiltonPitPitIt's raining a crazy amount now.0:0612:09SAISainzPitPitIt's raining a lot now. I think it should be red flag. Raining in pit lane. Yeah, red flag. Come on. It's too much rain now.0:1012:10VETVettelMore than aquaplaning man, surface and aquaplaning.0:0612:10VETVettelThey should red flag it, really, because it's undriveable.0:0612:11KVYKvyatRaining a lot more now. Heavy, heavy rain. OK, I need two box for a new set, but I think we're just gonna go slower.0:1312:12RUSRussellPitPitOK, George, you're boxing to stop, confirm. There are potentially four laps remaining and the rain is coming, there's more rain coming, copy.0:1312:12LATLatifiPitPitOk Niki, try to do some hard stop, hard stop, it's red flag and 7 minutes left.0:0912:13LECLeclercPitPitAnd box now, box. Anybody crash or is it because of the conditions? That's because of the conditions.0:1012:15LECLeclercI see nothing with the visor, nothing at all, so I don't know if it's the same for everyone, but we need to try and do something. I can't see anything.0:1212:16VETVettelIt's chucking down at 5 and 6, like crazy. Can't get it. They should red flag it really, because it's undriveable. Yeah, it's more than aquaplaning, man.0:1412:17VETVettelI need the other helmet as well, please. Understood.0:0612:18MAGMagnussenWe need to do something for my visor for the next run, it's completely fogged. Ok understood, we'll come up with a solution.0:0812:19VERVerstappenPitPitRed flag, box if you can, red flag, box if you can. This is so unresponsive, it's unbelievable.0:1012:19KVYKvyatI can't see a ****.0:0412:20MAGMagnussenWe need to do something for my visor for the next run. It's completely fogged. OK, understood. We'll come up with a solution. Thomas is working on it. Rain X or something. Yeah, we'll get something. Understood. On the inside. It's on the inside. Red flag. Red flag. OK, so just come in slow. We'll get your visor sorted. We'll get you another set of tyres ready. I don't think that... The conditions are getting worse. Is that correct? Very, very correct. Very much so, yeah. OK, so just get back in here safely. All OK. You're still P7. You did great. Thank you.0:3312:21OCOOconYeah, way too much rain now. AFIRM, AFIRM, you're in absolute best shape possible at the moment, Esteban. Can't get better than P1.0:1012:22MAGMagnussenCan't see. Have another helmet ready, just... Yeah, we'll have another helmet and we'll have Ray next on that visor. Thomas is on it and Jeff's on it. Okay, so it's a red flag, Kevin. There's seven minutes remaining, so we have plenty of time to sort these things out and the conditions are absolutely terrible. So, right now you're P7. Just bring it home and we'll be okay here.0:2212:53RAIRaikkonenPitPitWould you like to go one count only? Yes, yes, let's go.0:0812:54VERVerstappenPitPitOkay, DRS disabled, DRS disabled.0:0612:56RAIRaikkonenPitPitOK, we don't see any contact, all good.0:0412:56ALBAlbonPitPitPressures are good. Temperatures will start to come up a bit. Pressures are nice.0:0612:57VETVettelPitPitAnd charge button off, good warm up on the brakes.0:0412:57SAISainzPitPitSo far, all cars who've left are on full wet. Carlos, car ahead is Latifi. His best lap earlier was a 2 .21, who's quite a bit slower than the others. If you can leave a gap, you should.0:1212:58NORNorrisPitPitLando, most of the track looks similar to the start of Q1. Cars have been going off, for example Leclerc turn 1.0:0912:59GROGrosjeanI'm stuck. I'm stuck. I'm stuck.0:0613:00STRStrollPitPitRed flag, red flag, box this lap, watch your delta.0:0613:00RAIRaikkonenPitPitRed flag, red flag, follow the delta, and box this lap. Ok, so the good news is nobody improved, we are still P10, but there is still 3 minutes 30 into the session. The red flag is for Romain, this time he's stuck in a gravel trap turn 1.0:2213:02VERVerstappenWhich tyres are warmer, this set or the other one? Currently this set will be warmer exiting the pit lane.0:1113:03SAISainzPitPitPit exit's just gone green now, you can make a gap in the pit lane if you need.0:0613:04LECLeclercPitPitSo, looking at Verstappen data, turn 1 was slower, all the rest was faster.0:1013:04NORNorrisPitPitHamilton isn't under pressure so he shouldn't need to rush and push you too much. The lead car Verstappen's just out of turn 10.0:0913:05SAISainzYeah, these tyres have less grip, I think. Temperatures are OK, should be OK, Carlos.0:0713:07KVYKvyatI can't see a ****, man.0:0513:07RICRicciardoI don't have a reference, do I stay out? Stay out, finish lap.0:0613:08RUSRussellPitPitOkay, George, it's checkered flag. That's P17, P17, P18.0:1013:09KVYKvyatI can't see a f***ing man.0:0613:10RUSRussellJust couldn't get the tyres working, DRC, just a rear axle, absolutely nothing from exiting the box.0:0913:10MAGMagnussenHow the hell can people improve when it's yellow flexor all the way around? I don't know Kev, I don't know. We'll have to look at it. Yeah, certainly. Yep, understood.0:1113:11LATLatifiPitPitI'm off. Stuck. Man, there's nothing I can do. Like, the grip is, uh, nothing.0:0913:11PERPerezOh well, ****. That was close.0:0613:15SAISainzPitPitThere are double yellow flags in turn 8. Double yellow flags in turn 8. There's a crane moving Latifi's car out the way.0:0913:15RAIRaikkonenWhy did I start the system? I have no idea.0:0713:16SAISainzPitPitCarlos, only the McLarens are on Inter. Only McLaren on Inter. Let's see how we get on.0:0613:16SAISainzPitPitCrane is off track, but take care, double yellows. That's very dangerous.0:0813:18GIOGiovinazziPitPitWe'll go for Inter. Repeat message. Maybe we'll go for Inter for the next lap. Copy Antonio, I'll let you know.0:1213:20NORNorrisPitPitLando, how does it feel for you? Not as good as I was hoping. I think the wets could be good but it will be coming towards medium. Yep, understood. Let's keep going please, keep going. Okay Lando, the wet is slower, the wet is slower. We had our lap time deleted for turn 6. Keep going on this.0:2413:21NORNorrisRight, maybe rear's going off a bit now. Yeah, understood. We think we should box this lap. We think we should box this lap. OK, confirm. Keep pushing. If we box now, we can do two time -laps on either an inter or a wet. We think probably wet. Right, is the wet better?0:2113:22LECLeclercPitPitSo, extreme compounding is the faster tyres, and we'll have 3 more time laps, 3 more time laps.0:1013:24SAISainzI have no grip. I don't know why. I don't know why.0:0413:25VERVerstappenPitPitOK, Max, this is the right time, McLaren are bailing out of the inter. That was P1, by 2 seconds at the moment. I can go a bit faster, but I have this car in front. There's still time for 3 push laps, 3 push laps on this set. Potentially 4. See if you can get yourself ahead. He lets me by. That was good of him.0:2913:27RICRicciardoJust hard with the fronts, with locking, that's where I'm struggling the most. OK, understood. Let's keep going at this pace please, we can get an extra lap out of this.0:1113:27LECLeclercPitPitAt the moment we are P13, P10 lap time 56 .9.0:0813:28NORNorrisPitPitOK Lando, clear your head, there'll be time for one more time -lapse.0:0513:28VERVerstappenWhat's the margin for one lap? It's not a lot we need to get going, but you are still P1 by 2 seconds, the cut -off is a 56.0:1113:32GIOGiovinazziPitPitSo we are in Q3, Antonio, good job, good job. Yes, guys, yes!0:0913:32RAIRaikkonenPitPitOk, we are in. We are in. Both cars. Negative. Yes. Yeah, but I cannot go that fast. I'm going full speed. Copy. Copy. Do your best then. Leave it. Ok, P8. P8. Good. Yeah, but that split time must be wrong. Don't worry about that. I'm catching the people in the front there.0:2513:33LECLeclercPitPitP1 last time. P1, 50 .3. We are 6 seconds off.0:1113:33PERPerezYeah, he's not moving. Man, what's this? He f***ed my lap. You'd be good if you can get past him. He's not letting me by, man.0:1413:34VETVettelPitPitOk, I couldn't get the tyres to work, plenty of chattering in front, didn't really get any better or worse throughout the run, the track improved more than we did, I think Inter's at the end maybe would have been faster, but it was probably right to do what everybody did, did everybody set their times on extremes? Yeah, they all on extremes, just the two, McLaren went out with Inter and pitted, or extreme at the end, and Sainz did 54 .4, it's P13, and Norris 54 .9, it's P11. Ok, sorry there, but that was really difficult. Yeah. Main issue I think was the front chattering, just the front's not waking up. And then rear's on traction, just full grip overall to be honest.1:0513:35PERPerezAnd if that's not blocking, I don't know what is this blocking then, in qualifying. Yeah, copy checker, that's totally messed us up. It's on investigation, it is investigated. It's under investigation.0:12
