EngineerCan you see the clocks where you are? No,

Daniel RICCIARDOI can count

EngineerOh

Nico HULKENBERGthank you guys. Is that Madonna or Kylie Minogue?

EngineerI think that was Madonna.

Nico HULKENBERGIt does go by slowly.

EngineerQuite

Nico HULKENBERGlonely out here.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, they're okay.

EngineerNo

Daniel RICCIARDOproblem for extremes

EngineerOkay, understood So just remember it will be a ramp

Daniel RICCIARDONow I've got a problem Got a problem

EngineerWhat with? Okay, should be okay So if you can we will do an engine ramp.

Daniel RICCIARDOI got I got no power when I go on throttle. It's really low

EngineerMode 1 please, mode 1. Okay Ignore the ramp. So

Daniel RICCIARDOI just stay in first.

EngineerYeah, stay in gear 1. Failed 1 fail, failed 1 fail You got Magnussen and Hartley approaching and then Sirotkin. So just three cars will pass you before turn 8

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, just let me know if you've got a chance to get off.

EngineerOkay, you can go up the gears

EngineerOk, Pierre, anything to report? How is the truck?

Pierre GASLYWhat?

EngineerYeah, it's pretty dry, it's normally would be already inters now, for sure. Yep, Verstappen is on inters.

EngineerSo other cars only doing installation laps, no one else has set a time yet

Carlos SAINZHow many laps do you give me?

EngineerLet's see how it goes, we don't really want to damage these tyres because they could be useful in P3

EngineerThere's no grip on the front axle, the front tire, so it's just jutter, but no grip. OK, understood, Nico. Be happy to box and we'll try and sort that out. That depends what you want to do, but I don't think I will go much faster, because it just feels pretty bad. Yeah, we have some changes that we can do, Nico, so I'd box this lap.

EngineerFernando a bit of feedback, the launch then was 33 and in terms of positioning you were 10cm long and 5cm to the left.

EngineerAnd how is the balance?

Carlos SAINZYeah, quite neutral. And then I'm going to put the front grip on the breaker.

EngineerOK, copy that. So Nico also complained that he was struggling with the fronts. So try to keep the temps up, please.

EngineerWe think it will we think it will

EngineerHow is the engine, Daniel? At the moment, seems okay. Okay, so it'll be reverse off, mode 7. Reverse off, mode 7, and an engine ramp. Gear 5, 120 k's to start please. 120 k's, gear 5, and ramp.

Max VERSTAPPENAll good, just a little drift.

EngineerAnderson, you can stay out for one more lap if you want to.

Lance STROLLCopy that. The headrest is loose.

EngineerCopy, stand by. OK, copy that, if the headrest is loose we'll box. Yeah, I need to box, it's really loose. Copy that, so it's sapping.

EngineerCheco, how is the tyre? How is the tyre holding up? It

Sergio PEREZis not, the grip was not great But I see how it is now

EngineerUnderstood

EngineerOversteer is consistent as you reach full throttle exit of Parabolica. Take care as you reach full throttle exit Parabolica.

Romain GROSJEANI think there's a problem with engine braking, something is pushing the car.

EngineerOK understood, BC5, BC5 may help engine braking.

Pierre GASLYThe GRIP you ****! I have no GRIP!

Brendon HARTLEYYeah I think the rear traction was a lot better after the cool down. It's the front tyres that struggle a bit with the warm up but the rear tyres were getting too hot.

EngineerOK, box please, Max. Box.

Max VERSTAPPENNo, one more left.

EngineerDo you need one more lap? We need to protect these tires for P2. Do you want one more lap?

Brendon HARTLEYYeah, I can make one more lap.

EngineerCheck out in cool, in cool, we'll do a charging lap, take a little bit of the damp patches just to lower surface temperature a bit but we don't need to do a very slow lap, it doesn't need to be very slow, just cool surface a bit.
