Fernando ALONSOA bit of inconsistent engine between 6 and 7 or it was my impression?

EngineerWe will check between 6 and 7.

EngineerLaunch me back, you are on target, bring the throttle a little earlier.

Pierre GASLYBrake pedal is already a bit long, we can just check that Efficiency doesn't feel great, but I'll let you guys check it.

EngineerOkay, we'll take a good look

EngineerIn terms of wind, it looks like the gusts have slightly picked up in the last couple of minutes, so a bit more gusty.

EngineerUpdate on weather, Charles. So, low chance of rain for now.

EngineerOsco Tower Info, so the top six cars are New Medium, both Red Bulls, New Hards, and then towards the back of the grid, Hot Starters are Ocon, Tornado, Stroll and Bottas. Have a good race. Thank you.

Valtteri BOTTASJust reporting the gap the car I had left at the car ahead of him was way too big according to the wrecks.

EngineerOkay, so you think Colopinto went a bit too slow there?

Valtteri BOTTASYeah, way too slow. Understood.

Max VERSTAPPENLouis-Henri MacArthur I mean, I got the penalty for that, so...

Sergio PEREZGeorge has a lot of damage. He's dangerous.

EngineerCopy that.

George RUSSELLThat's

Engineerwho

George RUSSELLjust came across me in the braking zone. Check for damage front wing

Nico HULKENBERGGotta push me into the air Bravo

EngineerOscar we don't see graining on any cars yet. We think we need to get to at least Plan B target lap to clear traffic.

EngineerJust keep it there for the moment Max, let them push that medium tyre hard.

EngineerAnd Oscar, do you have an opinion on plan A versus plan B yet? I

Oscar PIASTRIthink plan A so far.

Esteban OCONThere's

Engineera

Esteban OCONwhistling noise, I don't know where it's coming from.

EngineerOkay, understood, we'll look.

EngineerLando suggests we do Box to Overtake on Leclerc, Box to Overtake.

EngineerSo Norris is in. He should pit in traffic. Let's do some good laps.

EngineerSo the cars ahead are starting to struggle. This is where we make our race.

Carlos SAINZThanks guys, we will struggle to go to the end.

EngineerUnderstood.

Charles LECLERCWhat was that? Why do we pit if we undercut?

EngineerLando, it's likely we will have to cover with the other car. It'll be papyrus.

EngineerYou are allowed to race Oscar papyrus

Max VERSTAPPENSo how do we do this then?

EngineerWe just get all my dynamics

EngineerAnd front runners are currently doing 23.2 Are

Lewis HAMILTONthey not dropping off?

EngineerNot yet

Kevin MAGNUSSENNeither car has had damage, no consequence at all. 10 seconds. Makes sense.

EngineerNorris starting to struggle. This is when Red Bull starting to have graining around lap 15 in the stint

EngineerOkay, we've got a problem with the brake balance adjuster, so you need to go to driver default, Bravo 57 on.

Sergio PEREZWhat is he doing? He gives me the position and then he raised me?

EngineerWe've had to disable some PU performance, which is why you may have noticed the clips increase. Hopefully we'll get that back for you later

Lando NORRISI don't know why I'm delaying my shot left so much.

EngineerSo Magnussen still has that 10 second time penalty to serve, whether he pits or not. Yeah, but why would he waste, why would he waste my time?

Alexander ALBONTell me what you want to do, because I'm so indecisive all the time. You're giving me no space as well, you're doing me out, so what are you going to do?

EngineerOK, well, whether he pits or doesn't pit, he has a 10 second time penalty and there's 20 laps to go.

EngineerOscar, how's the tyre? How long have we got?

Oscar PIASTRIYeah, not long. It's not getting that much worse, but I can't get past them.

Max VERSTAPPENWhen it's possible to defend, do you want me to race him?

EngineerYes please, yeah.

EngineerOscar, do you think there's any chance we can one-stop? I

Oscar PIASTRIdon't think so. Front left is pretty dead. Understood.

EngineerSo we've got Norris 14 seconds ahead and Sainz 24 ahead.

Lewis HAMILTONCan't be so far behind.

EngineerTucked up being on Sainz for too long.

EngineerCopy that Nico. We see it. Yep. Let's see if we can think of anything It's

Nico HULKENBERGquite a lot of bouncing at the turning level It's pretty disturbing

EngineerThe Ferraris are going to try one. They think it's difficult, but they might as well try. So this is qualifying now. In the words of Stu, just try fast.

EngineerIt's

Nico HULKENBERGquite a lot of bouncing at the turning level, it's pretty disturbing.

EngineerWe may have some damage because we see elevated bouncing everywhere so that may be the cause.

Carlos SAINZYeah, my drone has been nearly gone, but I guess we'll try again.

EngineerCopy, understood.

EngineerSainz saying his front left has gone but he's gonna hang it out let's see what times he sticks in

EngineerAnd brake balance plus one.

Charles LECLERCLeave me alone with this. If I don't do things you ask, don't ask ten times.

EngineerWe're happy to pick this up, push the tyres more. Currently forecast to catch right on the last lap.

Max VERSTAPPENCan people in the background please be awake? I know this is a *** position, but it's important.

EngineerYes, copy that, Max.

Charles LECLERCBut how you

Engineermake

Charles LECLERCme dream! How you

Engineermake

Charles LECLERCme dream! Yes! Yes! Yes!

EngineerYes!

Charles LECLERCGreat! One more time and we'll see you!

EngineerThank you Charles! Monaco and Monza are mine!

Charles LECLERCMamma mia! Mamma mia! This season is a real heartbreaker! Between highs and lows, mamma mia! But the highs

Engineerare

Charles LECLERCso beautiful! Thanks to everyone, really! To the whole company that did a great job to bring us the upgrades! Thanks to you! There's still a lot of work to

Engineerdo!

Charles LECLERCBut... At home! Again, like in 2019! Mamma mia! Great! Great!

Charles LECLERCIt's a great strategy, everything

Engineeris

Charles LECLERCgreat, even the car was going fast today, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

EngineerThat's P2. Well done, Oscar. It was close, buddy. Really close. Yeah.

Oscar PIASTRIThank you.

EngineerOkay Kev, I didn't tell you but you have actually got P10 because Alonso was coming up and didn't come through. We expected him to come through so you've got a point Kev, you've got a point. Well done, that was unbelievably hard work. So you lost the place to Albon but you stayed ahead of Alonso. Fantastic job mate, I'm really sorry how hard that was but you drove an excellent race there. Yeah, well done guys, well done. Car was good, we had good pace here, good deck. Yeah, I mean, speechless. There's a 10 second penalty and it's ******. But anyway, a point. Thanks everyone, thank you.

EngineerFranco, that is a fantastic first race, you really didn't put a foot wrong, you finished a few seconds behind Alex, I think, you know, let's reflect on it this weekend, you had pace in qualifying, if we keep it clean, you're there and you're able to fight, well done, this is your first race and I can't wait to see how we build together.

Franco COLAPINTOThank you James, thank you for this opportunity, I really enjoyed it, I really, really enjoyed this weekend. You were right, I was going to have pain after this race, I never had so much pain in a race car before, I think we need to do a few things in the seat, but I really enjoyed it, thank you so much.

Nico HULKENBERGOur race was kind of over on lap 1, I guess.

EngineerYeah, copy that. I think that was a really good pace on the last stint, so that was a highlight. Yeah, it's good they got a point.

Alexander ALBONOK, nice job. It's P9, P9. Yeah.

EngineerAlex, well done. You have no idea how tense that was from here on the last few laps. Well managed. We were about a second away from dropping a couple there, but P9's just reward for a strong drive. Well done. I think a lot to look at after the race, but this is where we start building forward.

Alexander ALBONWell done, everyone. That was well managed.

EngineerThat

Alexander ALBONwas a different kind of race than last year, but it's still as intense.

ZHOU GuanyuYeah, I mean, I think the other one was better for the end, but yeah, I think the management was okay on my side, but not really the place to hold them.

EngineerYeah, you did a good job on the tires and also the overtaking phases, you got Stroll making a mistake there, that was good.

ZHOU GuanyuYeah, I left Valtteri behind just because I didn't have a place to hold him anyway. Yeah,

Engineerthat was smart.

EngineerGood job, Max. That was a P6. Top three, Leclerc, Piastri, Norris. That was a good drive, Max. I'm sorry we couldn't give you a better car this weekend, but very good drive from you.

Max VERSTAPPENYeah, at

Engineerthe

Max VERSTAPPENfirst, I guess everything went against us. I mean, not the power we wanted, not the pace, not the pit stops. But yeah, we have to work hard to change the car around.

EngineerYeah, we will, we will.

Valtteri BOTTASYeah, unfortunately no luck with the safety car today, but I think we tried. Let's keep pushing.

EngineerYeah, it was a well-managed race with the tires, just lacking a little bit of pace.

EngineerGood effort, Checo. I think that was the maximum that was in there today.

Sergio PEREZYeah, we've got to work on this balance to bring us back. We killed the tyre, but we'll look at it.

Lewis HAMILTONYeah, tough end too, not a good weekend mate, but we have to see another day, let's keep pushing, didn't have the pace today, but thanks for all the hard work, great stops guys.

EngineerYeah, thanks Lewis, this is one to pick up and analyse, but yeah, well done you, good drive.

George RUSSELLYeah, sorry I won't deserve better today.

Carlos SAINZbravi bravi bravi congrats guys you deserve it

Pierre GASLYNever felt as bad as today, so a lot of things to review because the car is bouncing everywhere, no brakes, absolutely no air grip all the way through, we'll talk after the race, but yeah, definitely not good, and a lot of work.

EngineerYep, we'll regroup mate, a lot of things to look after this weekend, a lot of areas we can improve, so...

EngineerOk Daniel, so again, all around on your side, I think you should be pleased. Last race, this race was all very clean jobs, so now we move to the flyaways. And we try to find a little bit more performance and put it in the next one.

Esteban OCONYeah, well done, we tried, we tried, we gave it everything, so on to the next one.

Daniel RICCIARDOYep, understood. We'll keep keep at it.

EngineerYeah, let's keep working hard
