  2. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull12:04:560:04

    EngineerI'm Box, Daniel Box. Bottas, now 10 seconds behind you on the hot lap. Box's lap.

  3. Carlos SAINZRenault12:08:590:25

    Carlos SAINZYeah, yes, before I forget, the car is a bit off-center to the right. And, yeah, it feels like the steering wheel is a lot more direct to the left than to the right. Okay, understood. A lot more steering to turn

    Engineerright than to turn left. Okay, you have Gasly coming up. He's still on a time lap. He's three seconds behind you now.

  4. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso12:16:400:15

    Brendon HARTLEYYeah, I made a mess of the last two corners. I probably wouldn't... I'd do a balance change. Struck a little bit on the rear entry and exits. Actually, car feels better in the low speed than yesterday. So I maybe wouldn't do the change.

  5. Daniel RICCIARDORed Bull12:22:100:06

    Daniel RICCIARDOOh seriously boys seriously. Okay box.

  6. Romain GROSJEANHaas12:22:120:26

    Romain GROSJEANdid you you didn't give the message we

    Engineergave the message well

    Romain GROSJEANit was not received then okay well anyway just uh we need to get some mechanical grip on the car yeah okay i've lost a lot

    Engineeryep understood so we've got a couple ideas we'll put them together here

  7. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes12:24:500:09

    EngineerStill got Magnussen at 14 seconds. Still 14 seconds. The players are not ready for me to do a trap-up. Copy that.

  8. Lance STROLLWilliams12:26:530:08

    Lance STROLLI don't have tires for the last sector anymore.

    EngineerYeah, okay, copy that.

  9. Marcus ERICSSONSauber12:29:180:15

    Marcus ERICSSONStarting to struggle with the front tires again.

    EngineerOkay, should we go back to the constant SOC already?

    Marcus ERICSSONYeah, because it's going to get worse and worse now. Okay, that's fine. So SOC 7, you

    Engineerhave signs right behind.

  10. Carlos SAINZRenault12:29:560:10

    EngineerYeah, I'm going to do a build-up. It was a lot of travel in that out-lap. OK. We've got Hartley coming up behind you on the time-lap.

  11. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes12:39:510:07

    EngineerSo nobody close behind on a time lap, so you can cool the tyres as much as you want, a lot of overheating at the end of the lap.

  12. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes12:42:070:09

    Engineerso still getting quite a lot of oversliding just think about the settings in terms of gaps good gap behind to cool the tires

  13. Lance STROLLWilliams12:46:400:36

    Engineertoo

    Lance STROLLmuch on this here guys i can't go quicker like this completely front limited okay copy that i'll go back to you on that we'll target for now plus 30 seconds taking temp out the rear what about the torque somebody come down on it well

    Engineeryou you tried before what uh who was the feeling when

    Lance STROLLi look up it's not so good maybe it'll help stop the car i don't know

    Engineerstay with the torque stay with the door

  14. Nico HULKENBERGRenault12:54:060:08

    EngineerPace is still there, Nico. It's just traffic, isn't it? So no problem. Yeah, it's just frustrating. That's Monaco, I'm afraid.

  15. Lance STROLLWilliams12:59:380:11

    EngineerBut I

    Lance STROLLthink the rears are also not so good because of the tires. Just like one run.

    EngineerLet's try again. You have another lap. So try again.

  16. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso13:01:450:25

    EngineerAlso, time-lapse or not? Time-lapse, time-lapse, yes, Magnussen behind. Everyone is on time-lapse. Sorry, I screwed the lap. Yep, copy. That's okay, Brandon, that's okay. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it, please. We go take the flag and we go for the practice start. I couldn't go any quicker, but you said he was further behind. Don't worry about it. Loco, take the flag, please.

  17. Brendon HARTLEYToro Rosso13:03:470:11

    EngineerOkay, before I forget, from the position I sat in, I could not see the lights. I could not see the lights. Okay, copy that. Good reminder, copy that. Box, box, take it easy, box, box.
