16:58OCOOconPitPitOk, got Russell out and queuing, both Williams in fact out and queuing.0:0716:59NORNorrisPitPitOk, so there will be a queue, there's 30 seconds to go. I want you to get in that queue because I imagine other people are going to come out and join it.0:1217:00STRStrollPitPitAnd remember if we can do a bit of our gap to car in front before 22, green light, green light.0:0717:01LECLeclercWe're going to be a mess in the last sector. Copy.0:0717:01GASGaslyPitPitPlease repeat. Are we fine for timings with our plan and the traffic we have? Yes we are, yes we are. Bring the gears where you can.0:1717:03VERVerstappenPitPitOK, give yourself a good gap to Fernando.0:0417:04STRStrollPitPitLet's cool the tyres sector 1 and in full throttle before turn 13.0:0617:05LECLeclercPitPitAnd we should try to improve entry turn 13, push more entry 13.0:0917:07RAIRaikkonenPitPitSo we are clear from behind? Yes. Mind the pinch. Everybody... Yes or no? Everybody OK. Traffic OK. Traffic OK. They are all charging. Everybody in phase. Yeah, it already is. Really ****. OK. Copy.0:1717:08TSUTsunodaPitPitThis is in lap and we need a fast in lap, fast in lap.0:0617:09RICRicciardoPitPitFuel is okay, so keep good speed on the in -lap please, keep good speed on the in -lap.0:0717:09STRStrollPitPitDo you need, what do you need aerobalance -wise, Lance? Um, another quarter. Copy, quarter.0:1317:11RICRicciardoI've just got the right hand toggle light, it's on, but the switch is off. OK, understood. OK Daniel, we'll box this lap. Yep, box confirmed. So Daniel, don't worry about that, that's just an artefact of what's happened with recharge and we'll fix that in the garage. Box now, stop in front of our garage.0:2517:12MAZMazepinPitPitKamaz, nice lap, nice lap. So let's use the in button please, the in button. And we need another pushing in lap, another pushing in lap. We need the same step, Leclerc. Okay.0:1417:12VERVerstappenAh, the terrible first sector. Ah yes, we saw that.0:0717:13PERPerezPitPitWe can do a single cool and then go again, single cool and then go again. Would you go quicker? We try. I'm not very hopeful that the tyre might be a bit too hot, but we can try. So that or we can come in for a fresh set. Your call.0:2017:14PERPerezNo, it's that. Are we looking safe or not? We think we're good. Obviously it's a new track, bit of uncertainty in these matters. Would you go fast on a new set? Yeah, I would. But let's try it with this one.0:2217:16STRStrollPitPitOK Lance, we need plus 60 on the cool lap, plus 60 on the cool lap.0:0717:17BOTBottasPitPitI've got some, he's firing, he's firing. Copy. Copy, copy.0:0717:18BOTBottasEngine set off.0:0617:19VETVettelPitPitAP17, out of AP17, out. What?! Oh man!0:0917:20MSCSchumacherI didn't turn on the DRS.0:0617:21SAISainzWow, Gasly, what the ****? It's in the middle. Come on. I got out of the way. But Gasly, I had to hit the brakes.0:1417:22RUSRussellAre you sure the delta's correct? You seemed awfully quick. Yeah, it's all fine. Still targeting minus one. OK, we are through P14. Minus one. Target minus one. How comfortable? That was a good lap. Yeah, it's all pretty close, but it's in a good battle, really. Just less than half a tenth from two alphas. Box, box.0:3517:25VETVettelPitPitNo way, how much? So, car ahead is two hundredths. Yeah, no way we lost it. Turn 22. Yeah, yeah. And traffic. Yeah, dropping off. That was not great. Alonso is P15 and through, it is two and a half tenths. Ah, so it's not two hundredths. No, two hundredths to the car ahead, sorry, and it's two and a half tenths to P15. Ah, okay. And the waivers didn't help us as well. Still not great. Yeah, and the traffic in 22 didn't help at all. So, that's it, yeah? Yeah, that's it, that's it. Still P17. Lance P18.0:4817:27GASGaslyYannis, do we have real luck in turn 1? It's on the edge, but OK.0:1017:27RAIRaikkonenPitPitTraffic is good, you have nobody behind, take the time you need and mode push when you're ready.0:0717:28TSUTsunodaI need rotation, more high speed.0:0417:29TSUTsunodaPitPitAnd, careful, the box is busy. Be careful. F***ing white brakes! Ok, no worries, no worries.0:1117:30NORNorrisPitPitSo Orlando, the thing for us to think about here is, if the time doesn't come on the medium, whether or not we need to bell early enough to give us enough time to do a good job of the soft.0:1117:31HAMHamiltonI don't know what we're doing, I have no grip out here.0:0617:32RUSRussellPitPitOK, so we're still on plan 8, we'll try and speed this up, best we can, happy with the flap, do you want to put a bit in? Well it felt rubbish on this soft tyre, just going to get it working for the first lap, I think it's going to be fine for the option. Let's go half.0:2217:32SAISainzSafety tricky, safety.0:0517:33NORNorrisPitPitJust repeat the last phrase you said about the tyre. I think I'm happy with the tyre. OK, if you're happy, then let's go again.0:1017:34ALOAlonsoPitPitOK, let's try to get a lap done. Recharge off. Reset brake balance. But this is another prep lap, no? OK, let's do another prep down. Yeah, it's what we say. If not, we go out of sync and we don't get the last two laps.0:2217:35RAIRaikkonenPitPitOk Kimi, so wait that they push you off the scale, then restart the car and come back to the box.0:0817:35NORNorrisPitPitAnd Lando. The lap that we did at the end of Q1 is good. So if we can just achieve that again, that's cool.0:0917:36HAMHamiltonPitPitSo, showing tailwind into Turn 1.0:0517:37NORNorrisPitPitI got held up. Whoever the red bull is just blocked me in the last corner. Yeah, that was Perez. Perez held you up. We saw that.0:1017:37SAISainzRicky, the rear wing looks like it's strained. Yeah, it's been put some tape there. It's another six seconds behind. A little bit damaged. Not too bad. But I didn't touch nothing. Yeah, with the rear, you touched the barrier. But we put some tape, it should be fine, yeah. Last small touch.0:2517:39RICRicciardoPitPitOk, Daniel, let's protect the parts, we'll box this lap. F*** sake!0:0817:41SAISainzAh, it's impossible. The car is un -drivable.0:0517:41RUSRussellPitPitOK it's P14. Yeah, I assume it's flap for the option tyre. Soft, the front won't work until you needed the flap. But the front's worked pretty well on the medium. Anyway, not too bad. Copy that. Yeah, I reckon a P12. Chio managed to hold on to P10 currently.0:2417:41BOTBottasPitPitJust had a contact with Alfa on the front right.0:0717:42GASGaslyPitPitBut more decent lap time on lap 3, right? Based on Q1, yes. But Q2 we have no reference. Because what we could do is build push twice if you wanted to, but we've never done it before. No, no, no, no, no. Ok, let's go for the single run. I think you'd find a bit of lap time as well in your set every time if you agree.0:2217:43GIOGiovinazziYeah, sorry guys, it was too much on the limit, sorry. Coppa Antonio, we're checking the car now.0:0917:43RICRicciardoPitPitOK, Daniel, let's protect the parts, we'll box this lap.0:0817:45SAISainzGuys, but I didn't touch the wall. I don't know. Yeah, you did touch the barrier. Where? I don't feel it. Yeah, it was a little touch, but we damaged the end plate.0:1417:47LECLeclercWe go for a push straight away, right? Yes.0:0617:51NORNorrisPitPitAnd check brake balance about that.0:0517:52VERVerstappenPitPitOK, Max, so Bottas' first time lap was a 28 -1, 28 -1. Hamilton aborted his first time.0:1217:52OCOOconPitPitSo again, that's when we could find ourselves out of sequence with some cars, depending on what they're doing, all right. Let's just keep our eyes peeled, this is only 10 cars out there now.0:1217:54HAMHamilton2 laps. Copy, thanks for that. Roger that, so let us know if you need a flap adjust.0:1017:54HAMHamiltonPitPitLast one, man. Okay, mate. Thank you.0:0417:55VERVerstappenI need a tow.0:0517:55PERPerezPitPitOkay, so the loss is to Max, Turn 4, over -pushing the entry into Turn 4.0:0817:56VERVerstappenIf Czechoslovakia is not happening, just try to give me a time.0:0618:06OCOOconPitPitMax has got out of the car, but I'm not sure exactly where he is, so again, nice and steady on the way in, please. Vestappen in. Alright, well done, mate.0:1518:07TSUTsunodaCall us, man! I'll help f***ing do it to you!0:0618:09TSUTsunodaPitPitWe had Perez and no, absolutely nobody in front, so we didn't have a tow. It was a penalty. Your lap was good. Alright, don't f***ing care about the f***ing qualifying s***.0:1718:10HAMHamiltonWhat's happened? Well, that's just about the most hectic Q3 we've had in a long time. So yeah, currently P1, not currently P2. Verstappen just managed to tag the wall exit last corner, so yeah, good job, mate. Ah, great job, team. Great job, team. You got me worried there for a second. Yeah, well, Verstappen was on for a good one, mate. He really was on a flyer, but yeah, nice job for keeping it cool.0:3318:10NORNorrisOh, my bad, I'm sorry. Yeah, it's okay to box, okay to box and clear behind. Okay, so that's P7. Yeah, sorry about that, I messed it up in the end. Okay, no worries, just remember to turn the car completely off and once you get out, check it again.0:1918:12GASGaslyPitPitOk, be careful with Max, stop over there, and then stop at the bridge please. What's happened there? I don't know Pierre, no idea. It just went a bit under dust maybe and hit the wall. And it was a purple sector 1 and 2. Yeah, another P6 for you, another top 6, so nice job mate. Yes, very good thanks. And yeah, a lot of work for tomorrow, so we need to keep it up for tomorrow, big work.0:3318:14BOTBottasPitPitSo Verstappen crashed at the last corner, so it's Hamilton P1 and you're P2. Great job. Good job guys, good job. Great lap Valtteri, great lap.0:1318:14VERVerstappenPitPitAll OK, Max? Yep. OK, mate.0:0618:15PERPerezPitPitOkay, that's provisionally P4, 28 .1.0:0718:16LECLeclercPitPitAnd P4? P4? Look, turn 22. This time, I think I gained quite a bit in turn 22. Good effort, guys. You've done a great job. Well done.0:17
