Mexican2018Qualifying27 Oct 2018

13:13ALOYes, Fernando, the pace is there, don't worry about it. Yes, you only need to turn the stoffel on the high -speed section. Only that was the job of the qualifying. OK, understood.0:1513:33ALOPitPitOK Fernando, on used tyres, that sector 1 was really good, so I think there's time here for us.0:0613:37ALOPitPitOk Fernando, we are the first car out, so let's drive this out lap exactly how you want it.0:0713:42ALOPitPitOK, Fernando, that is P12, P12, good job, well done, mate.

13:42ALOPitPitI think we need less engine braking for 10, 11, 10, 16 probably. What do you think? Yep, we're just discussing that now. Standby, we'll get back to you. The DRS is working correctly so you can deactivate that as normal.0:1713:50ALOPitPitI nearly hit the rear jackman, so I stopped too much on the right because I cannot go deep to the left.0:12
