12:50VETVettelAudio only13:00VERVerstappenPitPit10 seconds to green light.0:0413:00PERPerezPitPitOK, you know the drill for this out lap. Nice and positive, turn 5, turn 9, the rest of the out lap. Tyre 6 for now. Tyre 6 for now, we'll get gear sync to turn 5.0:1313:02MAZMazepinPitPitPlease repeat. Queuing situation, last corner. 7 cars ahead. Now 6 cars ahead.0:1313:03SAISainzPitPitGood warm -up on the brakes, Perez starting time -lapse, he's 35 behind you, and behind him is Sebastian, he's 15 seconds behind Perez.0:1313:03PERPerezYeah, like some front end there. Towards the end, it is getting more stable.0:1013:04RAIRaikkonenPitPitActually, probably the best will be to do another charge, so you will have everybody in phase. If not, you will have a car slow during your push laps. Sainz, 9 seconds behind. Keep me updated. 8 seconds. 7.0:1913:06TSUTsunodaPitPitTukas preparing the lap in front. Code down please. Raccoon in 10.0:0913:07VERVerstappenPitPitAny tools adjust required, Matt, for the next lap? No, I'll just try it again, just normal offsets. Yeah, copy. Just remember that VVAL 3 if you need it, after turn 9.0:1713:09ALOAlonsoPitPitOK, how was warm -up on this set, Fernando? It was OK. OK, copy that. So we've got Vettel 4 seconds behind. And watch your delta, please. So at the moment we're thinking about boxing now, and then do another run on this set. We're currently still P5. We've got Perez coming up on the time -lapse. I feel I can improve, no? Perez coming up with time -lapse just behind you. OK, you tell me. You tell me what to do. Speed up, please, speed up, and boxing this lap.0:4413:10GASGaslyPitPitBox, box, box, box, you can push in the end lap. So 23 .85, you kill the 23 .75, and they had a little bit of help from a little toe in the back straight. And this was very good, that was very good turn 12, 13, 14, good job. You can push in the end lap, no need to drop.0:1913:12LECLeclercPitPitNorris with box, right? Yes, correct. And no one pushing behind you. And red flag, red flag, stay positive.0:1113:12LECLeclercPitPitSo we think it should be quick.0:0513:13RAIRaikkonenPitPitOk, we stay on plan, we stay on plan, we can do the same sequence.0:0913:14LECLeclercPitPitOkay, you can vibe the engine.0:0413:15SAISainzPitPitWe are tight for timing for the second push, depending on the cool down we are doing.0:0713:15SAISainzI'm trying to get the dials back up. Okay, that's good.0:0513:16VETVettelWhat was he doing?0:0713:16LECLeclercPitPitSo timing is tight on for the second push. Timing is tight for the second push. So let's try to nail the first one0:1413:17LECLeclercOK, I'm OK, but just let him know that we are tight and he defends. OK, we stay where we are. Positions? Yeah, will be good for him to not slow down too much in the last sector. Copy.0:1713:18LECLeclercPitPitAnd we have 25 seconds margin to start the next lap. 25 seconds margin. At the moment, yes, 25 seconds margin to start the lap. Yeah, 25 seconds margin to the cool -down lap we had. Yes, to the normal cool -down lap. Copy. And Sainz lap time, 23 .8.0:2813:22RUSRussellYep, I went tyres, but nowhere, absolutely nowhere, so guys we didn't need to risk up, we could have gone three, fast, low, fast, we had the pace, we had the pace.0:1413:22MSCSchumacherPitPitCopy that. Sorry about that. That's alright, we'll make the car good for tomorrow.0:0813:23SAISainzYeah, the balance on the first tooth was strange, like, less weird than in this, my surface was higher because of the outlap. Yeah, a bit compromised with that tyre condition, I would say, and Charles did a 23 .46.0:1713:23VETVettelAgain, traffic. I mean, come on, guys.0:0713:24RAIRaikkonenI am okay, yes. Copy, copy. Okay, box please, box. I think I got **** on my wheels on the right, on the wheels from the kerb, actually, that night. Because it was very slippery on the next lap. Okay, copy that. We'll have a look. It was a good lap until then.0:2513:28PERPerezPitPitThere's the green light. Nice and positive on this tyre.0:0513:29HAMHamiltonPitPitSo this compound's just going to need a bit more work.0:0613:29VERVerstappenPitPitOK, so Hamilton Bottas leading the field, Gasly, Sunoda ahead of Checo. Whatever you need to do for the tyres.0:1013:30NORNorrisPitPitOk Lando, that didn't quite go to plan, but this is where we are. So, message from Jose is to maximise track usage, entry to turn 16.0:1113:30PERPerezPitPitYeah, getting on with it. Hamilton looks to have bolted, Bottas just waiting exit 14. Hamilton's gone, you can see Bottas. B -Bell 3, B -Bell 3, handbrake to open the lap, retarge off, Bottas is gone.0:1413:32GASGaslyI don't know what's happened, I had a big snap in turn 9 and I lost everything from there. Yeah, we're checking, Yuki is 1 second ahead. I know, I was improving, did you see the big snap? Yeah, we saw it, yes sir. I had no grip after that, I couldn't brake.0:2013:33TSUTsunodaPitPitYoki, we need full throttle as much as possible. Focus on it, please. OK, OK, OK, OK, shot! Multi B14, position 4. Multi B14, position 4.0:1313:33GASGaslyI lost the car in turn 9, I almost spun, I know it's turn 9, but after that I had no grip.0:1413:34LECLeclercIf we can send the cars with a bit more distance would be good, because then I need to be slow in the last part of the lap. Thank you. Copy, we will do it.0:1313:34VERVerstappenFlat spot, massive.0:0813:35GASGaslyI let him pass before the last corner. Why does he need to do that? Yeah, copy that, we're reviewing it. Box, box.0:1013:35SAISainzPitPitI'm currently P1, it was a very good lap, apart from that turn 9 perhaps. Yeah, a bit more understeer in the new tyre.0:1313:37TSUTsunodaCheck, fail, fail, fail something. Something turn on, fail something.0:0913:38BOTBottasPitPitSo Valtteri, let us know, it'll be a quali turn around, let us know if you need any more flap, and you're gonna go again on medium. Plus one, on the flap. Copy that.0:1213:38STRStrollPitPitOK, so Lance confirmed we will build, we will do a build lap. Sebastian is 8 seconds behind you on out lap. Keep doing the scrubbing, same procedure as before.0:1413:39STRStrollPitPitOk, push on now Lance, push on, they're all coming out of the pit, so push on now, out 2, out 2 and build, out 2 and build, Lance.0:0913:40SAISainzPitPitIt's like a race out there. Yeah, they are pushing crazy, yeah.0:0713:41VETVettelPitPitWhat are we doing for time? Loads of time, loads and loads of time. Just don't let anybody else behind. You've got Bottas, Outlap behind. How many? Lots of cars behind. Six behind and seven ahead. The group of seven ahead are close together.0:2213:43ALOAlonsoYeah, McLaren, recharge on, recharge on, copy that, I was improving the lap time, so, you know, this guy stopped us to improve it, basically, so, yeah, copy that, we're on it.0:2413:44GASGaslyThe brakes were f***ing cold, I could not brake. Turn 1, turn 5 was disaster.0:0913:45VETVettelEvery f***ing time is an a**hole. Sorry guys.0:1013:45VETVettelIt's Carnage again.0:0613:46GASGaslyPitPitThe brakes were f***ing cold, I could not brake.0:0513:47ALOAlonsoYeah, man, I cannot believe it, you know. I mean, we will start in his position. It's a clear impeding, but I cannot believe it.0:1013:48TSUTsunodaPitPitOk, Yuki, we are P8, good job. Let's f***ing go, man! Oh, that was a f***ing good lap in first place. I'm so happy for this one. Box, box, stop in front of the garage. Stop in front of the garage. Now we do a good Q3.0:2013:51TSUTsunodaPitPitIt's all OK and green light. All OK on switches.0:0913:51PERPerezPitPitMake sure we're not holding max up, just get on with things, get on with things, don't hold max up.0:0713:52PERPerezPitPitC floor, let Max do his thing and let him catch us up in sector 3.0:0713:52LECLeclercKeep me updated with that gap. Bottas in front at 24 seconds and track is clear behind.0:1013:53LECLeclercPitPitAnd we have same win as before, we'll need a good warm -up on the brakes, try to stay in front of Ricciardo, he has a scrap soft, or open the gap to him if he needs to be quicker than you on the outlap.0:1413:55VERVerstappenPitPitOK, Trepper now turn 5, let's go, let's go, tow him up to 6, tow him up to 6 and let him through.0:1113:56OCOOconPitPitHow's the balance? Balance is alright, but the car is doing strange things entry, turn 9, and sideways entering, basically. Copy that.0:1413:57TSUTsunodaPitPitSo, unfortunately, the lap was deleted. Turn 16, track limit. Don't worry, we do the same lap and we'll be fine. We have another tyre, we'll be good. Just watch the track limit there.0:1713:58NORNorrisThe red bull screwed me over. Yep, okay, understood. It got way too close to me. Yeah, it just easily got in my way in the slowest part of the circuit. Doesn't seem fair to me.0:1514:00SAISainzPitPitEven with our snow clouds up and traffic in the left corner. It's 5 -0, second margin, 5 -0, so should be plenty safe, only four cars in front.0:1114:00VERVerstappenPitPitYour bias is currently plus one, so you can reset that.0:0614:04VERVerstappenOh, yes! I didn't expect that one, but amazing job, guys. Well done, mate. Great teamwork. Great teamwork. Well done. Good job.0:1214:04NORNorrisPitPitUh, P3, P3, great job. Yeah baby, woohoo!0:0914:07VERVerstappenPitPitYeah, even then, Max, I think your first two sectors were good. It was actually looking almost a tenth up by turn 13, and just lost it there at 14, but excellent job in that final session. So, Hamilton just picked you for purple by 100 in sector 1. You were purple in sector 2 both laps, with or without tow, and purple in sector 3 by almost two tenths.0:2414:07RICRicciardoOK, understeer. All corner, 20 milliseconds. OK. Alright, no worries, I'll have debrief once I get back. Sure. Well done, Philando guys. Thank you.0:1914:08NORNorrisRandy, you owe me. Again. Yes, you won that bet. Good job. Yep, great job, mate. Well done.0:0914:09OCOOconYeah, there was not much left guys, sorry. Yeah, don't think you need to apologise for that, that's P9, nice job. Copy that, good job. Yeah, I thought I could have improved a bit more, but no, there was no way. I think we were there or thereabouts, well done. OK, let's keep following that delta please on the way in. Copy that.0:2914:09PERPerezPitPitNo, it's just picky there. But Max got pole. Definition of a team player. Good job guys. Good job from them. Thank you for that. That's great teamwork. Great teamwork. Good job team. We will get them tomorrow.0:1714:10SAISainzVery solid, very solid. Almost. Yeah, Lando must have done a good one, because mine was pretty good.0:0814:11BOTBottasPitPitI don't know, there was nothing more in it, so I'm not sure why.0:0514:12TSUTsunodaSo lift off, fast in the corners, lift off and do straight. Fast in the corners, lift off and do straight. I'm so f***ing regret about the track limit, man. There was so much understeer I had. Yeah, Yuki, I share the view. Lift and do straight. It's P8, P8, Yuki. F***, man. It shouldn't be too hard on you, it was still a good quality. So it was a good quality. Shame for that. But still a good position for tomorrow.0:5114:12LECLeclercWe're degrading too much towards, you know, the lap.0:06
