Monaco Grand Prix2021 · Qualifying team radio

EngineerOkay, we have a lot of cars behind so the position is very good Focus on tires and brakes Target is zero at the front, zero at the rear. Focus on tires and brakes

George RUSSELLTires are not ready

Carlos SAINZCan I keep pushing? Next lap?

EngineerI'll soon hold that behind you. Keep pushing, yeah.

EngineerSo time to gain mid corner turn five late entry turn ten

EngineerI

Lance STROLLcan't get the Delta negative copy

Engineerthat You're in cool at the moment box and stopping the marks

EngineerMain limitation, what you need to go faster, rear support or rotation?

Yuki TSUNODALittle bit of rotation, slow to the corner.

EngineerCopy.

Nicholas LATIFIAh, I'm trapped because of the weighbridge. Car missed the weighbridge. Ok, coming.

EngineerThink about going up on diff mid from turn four think about going up on diff mid track is clear recharge off when you're ready

EngineerSo a bit more entry speed turn 1 and a bit later braking turn 10 is just against Lance's second lap. He's still clear behind.

EngineerOkay, next car behind that's a threat is Stroll. He's 12 seconds behind, so we're in a good spot here. There's a big gap ahead of Leclerc, so if he's slow next lap, I don't think we should see anyone else. We're in phase with all the cars in front.

EngineerAre we planning to go again with the other set? No, we are not planning to go. Next car behind pushing, Mazepin, 10 seconds. Why can't I push again then? I will come back to you. If you want, you can do another push.

Charles LECLERCCopy.

EngineerGamaz, that's the checker, that's the checker. Currently P19, 0.5 off Alonso ahead at the moment. Good job mate, good job. Found time on every lap there, that was really good.

Nikita MAZEPINYeah man, couldn't give it any more unfortunately for now.

EngineerStill struggled with the in button.

EngineerOK, so that's us finishing P10, that's us, safe.

Esteban OCONCopy, good job.

EngineerAnd P-16 now you keep, P-16 now we are out. We were 20 milliseconds to P-15.

EngineerOkay, just stop on the marks and switch off.

EngineerOkay, go in, go in No one pushing behind obviously, that's 12.3, 12.3, cutoff was a 12.1, 12.1 George just did it, P14, that was Vettel in 12.1, P15, and Tsunoda, 12.1, Alonso 12.2, your P18, 12.3

Nicholas LATIFIF***er

EngineerLess weight, less weight. There's loads of cars. Less weight. Yeah, we need to weight a lot. Loads of cars in the pit lane.

EngineerAnd keep the pace up for timing and battery in the cool down please, keep the pace up So

Pierre GASLYmuch understeer

EngineerBack to offset minus 2

Pierre GASLYSo much understeer like it doesn't play on the car

EngineerYeah we're trying to see why, we're trying to see why Entry 2, entry 2 and we'll fix the flap for the next run

EngineerOkay ahead of you is Ocon he did a prep lap on both quali runs earlier on it was about seven or eight seconds slower than a push. Well if he wants to do that again he's going to block me and get a penalty so uh yeah you've got loads of space behind you've got five seconds back to Vettel

Daniel RICCIARDOIt's hard because it's definitely not the first, unless we've got a very, very clear outlap.

EngineerCopy. So we won't have time to do two attempts with build laps. We could either do build push or push-cool-push.

Daniel RICCIARDOOkay, let's try then just push-cool-push.

EngineerCopy.

Lance STROLLLike, it won't, but I'm still going.

EngineerOk Kimi, you will need to learn all the gear during the outlap please

Kimi RAIKKONENTell me if there's somebody coming.

EngineerNo, no one is coming. All good.

EngineerAnd we're likely to have traffic in our build-up, likely to have traffic in our build-up.

Engineerso on this slow lap you can be about 30 seconds up on your Delta so you can be 30 seconds slow on your Delta no more than that and that's about very similar to your last cool-down lap so

Sebastian VETTELminimal

Engineerbraking will help cool the tires a bit just some charging

Lando NORRISI struggle with confidence now.

EngineerGood job Antonio, we are in Q3

Antonio GIOVINAZZIYes guys, yes

EngineerWell done mate, we've made good progress through qualifying now. I know it's frustrating not to be through, but you've made good progress.

Daniel RICCIARDOYeah, understood. Yeah, I am. Okay. Don't have much, much of an answer at the moment. Thanks.

EngineerIt's P13, I'm afraid, Lance, P13. Ah,

Lance STROLLtough session, man.

Esteban OCONTiming me through, timing me through

EngineerWe've just missed it That's P11 at the moment, unfortunately it's 800, that's all it was That was so close

Esteban OCONThat's all there was guys, sorry, very

Engineersorry Well done Look, it's not perfect, but what an excellent job you've done, well done Should be very pleased with that Yeah, copy, good job guys Let's look at the plus sides, you've beaten a lot of other cars there We're on the good side of the grid, and a free tyre choice in P11 as well So, let's look at the positives, well done

Esteban OCONYeah exactly, it's not over

EngineerAbsolutely not, no, it all just started Let's box now please, box now Let's have a watch for the weighbridge lights on the way in

George RUSSELLYeah, well done everyone. Good recovery after practice. Still struggling a bit with these tyres, but

EngineerI

George RUSSELLthink that's

Engineerthe

George RUSSELLbest we could have done today.

EngineerSo the Ferraris are likely to be doing build push as well

EngineerSo plenty of space behind, you've got five ahead. It's going to be a mix of prep laps and time lapse.

EngineerAnd we can keep the pace up in the cool down for tires and battery

EngineerStill happy with three laps for the next run, Max?

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, yeah.

EngineerUnderstood.

Lando NORRISAh, he held me up.

EngineerYep, I can understand. We'll report it.

Sergio PEREZI mean, what the f**k is doing Hamilton?

Sergio PEREZYeah, I mean, what's Hamilton doing there? Struggle for a lot of front. I think we lost some temperature, no?

EngineerWe can try offset minus three for turn one and then two step forward after turn one. We can take offset minus three for turn one Copy that go back to two, please. We are in minus one now open the gap open the gap more We are good for timings. Some cars are going out

Lando NORRISYeah, that's

Engineerall

Lando NORRISI had guys. I thought it was a decent lap.

EngineerYeah, no, it was mate. So Leclerc 12, Hamilton 19.

EngineerRed flag, red flag, keep the Delta positive. So Leclerc crashed it conveniently, exit of 16. Well done. Fuck,

Valtteri BOTTASit was coming.

EngineerSo he's on pole, Verstappen, P2, you're P3. That's ****,

Valtteri BOTTASthat lap was gonna be a hit.

EngineerYeah, unlucky Valtteri, but great job. That

Valtteri BOTTASwas so really cool.

EngineerSo we will be pretty tight on time so the out lap and the warm-up need to be on the faster side Sergio is fast two behind Sergio Perez two behind fast Okay, so you you you're clear now So we need a faster warm-up lap now faster warm-up lap Go one when you can go one and push now go one push now Do we make it or not negative negative we don't

EngineerRed flag, red flag, charge on and box, charge on and box, red flag What's happened? Leclerc is exit on 16 in the wall

Pierre GASLYWhat's our position?

EngineerB6

Pierre GASLYNice job guys Very nice job

EngineerBox, box, box, box

Pierre GASLYVery very nice job

EngineerYeah I think we can be happy with that one, we need to stop at the bridge, stop FIA bridge, stop FIA bridge, keep your helmet for the wait please

Pierre GASLYYeah, I think we can be happy. It's clearly the best we could have done there and My lap was really good. I was improving slightly in the last lap, I think but Yeah, I don't know the gaps.

EngineerI tell you what, I'm very happy. I'm very happy with that mate. Yeah

Pierre GASLYYeah, I think we did well because car wasn't easy but we managed to put

EngineerYeah,

Pierre GASLYthe best we could in quality with all set of switches and tires. So thanks

Engineerguys Yeah, and you kept it clean a lot of good laps in this quality a lot of good laps on the good progression So that's very good. See you in a bit

Pierre GASLYThanks

EngineerF***ing s***

Max VERSTAPPENman!

EngineerThis would be a f***ing

Max VERSTAPPENlap! F***ing

Engineers***! It could be a chassis change, Mike. And you've got Lewis down in P7.

Valtteri BOTTASIt was coming. That's . That lap was going to be hit.

EngineerDouble yellow, double yellow. I cannot believe it, I cannot believe it. Red flag, stay positive. No, this is unfair.

Carlos SAINZI'm sorry guys, but this is unfair.

EngineerHe had a big crash there.

Lewis HAMILTONCar's damaged
