Engineer: Maybe the wind has picked up a little bit, but we'll feed back to you. That'll be 90 seconds. Still green, right?
Engineer: So flag I can see in the pit lane looks like a tailwind exit turn one.
Engineer: Confirmation of risk of rain is only 20% now.
Engineer: And wind looks strongest turn three tailwind 15 kph
Nico HULKENBERG: Guys in front.
Engineer: There's four slow cars on outlaps ahead.
Engineer: Get
George RUSSELL: closer science
Sergio PEREZ: I'm struggling with the last part of entry.
Engineer: Two white h8 position six white h8 position six
Lewis HAMILTON: There it is, get too high
Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, I need a gap. I mean even if we have to stop the car for one minute
Engineer: I think we can maybe box now, keep this tire a bit okay for the long run. Yeah, watch for Gasly, one behind. We'll box into this lap then.
Daniel RICCIARDO: Felt like the ride at the rear was a bit harsher just through the high speed felt like I was getting more bottoming
Charles LECLERC: It's
Engineer: a
Charles LECLERC: lot more real limited compared to this body
Alexander ALBON: The three wheeling is pretty bad in five and six, for some reason it's got worse.
George RUSSELL: Guys this vibration braking turn 11 is getting insane at the moment Can't hold on to a steering wheel
Engineer: Yeah, copy that we're looking into the data
George RUSSELL: I need a box. We need a sword. Do something with
Engineer: the
George RUSSELL: steering. I've got to strap on to the box.
Engineer: No stability in turn five Copy yeah, I see the snap you got Fernando in six. We'll have a talk about switches. I'll get back to you
Max VERSTAPPEN: I'm jumping like a kangaroo and I'm getting headaches. It's crazy.
Pierre GASLY: Very poor upshift from 2nd to 3rd if you can have a look at that
Lewis HAMILTON: Isn't that a time for more, no?
Engineer: Uh, no, yeah, we need to get on with the program.
Lewis HAMILTON: Alright mate.
Engineer: Thank you.
Daniel RICCIARDO: Understood. Yeah,
Engineer: I
Daniel RICCIARDO: feel like probably some energy breaking could help someone.
ZHOU Guanyu: Not so sure about the pedal position change, didn't feel much better
Carlos SAINZ: Yeah, the flap is not good. I gained a lot of confidence coming down often. Yeah.
Engineer: Let's go k2 plus Niko k2 plus
Engineer: Please be more detailed.
Engineer: You
Logan SARGEANT: guys could help me out a little bit there.
Engineer: Please be more detailed and watch out for Alex within 2 and 1 with you. He
Logan SARGEANT: could have let me pass earlier.
Engineer: Max is in turn 1 on cooldown. He will likely let you buy. We want to push in the outlaw.
Sergio PEREZ: The ride is horrendous. I cannot see the apex of the tree from the front.
Engineer: We'll go recharge on at the end of this lap to go into a prep.
Engineer: I'll leave both out and used.
Lewis HAMILTON: Thanks, bud.
Engineer: That's in purple c9 position one purple c9 position one
Engineer: There's a lot of understeer. 2 on 1. Ok, so Ocon's backed off. So he's with you now but he has backed off.
Engineer: The items look a little cool, so mainly to take a prep, I'll let you be the judge of that.
Max VERSTAPPEN: I have all there.
Engineer: Any update on entry balance?
Sergio PEREZ: Yeah, that's been improved, the main thing is mid and high speed.
Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, with signs it's better to box and try to find another gap on the circuit.
Yuki TSUNODA: I didn't know we gonna have engine again as well. Why we didn't do this in first second at first?
Engineer: You want it now or not?
Yuki TSUNODA: Yes, but too late. Start then.
Fernando ALONSO: Air Science wanted to have three minutes gap in Monaco.
Fernando ALONSO: Yeah, we'll try.
Engineer: So
Fernando ALONSO: you can cut 10-10 when you want, every lap on the slow laps.
Engineer: We'll check, I don't think so, we'll check.
Engineer: I'm at a traffic safety degree.
Lance STROLL: I can't drive with that snap and it's too much OK,
Engineer: so you've got Ricciardo pushing 1 and 2 watch out for Ricciardo, he's pushing
Engineer: We are happy to extend this to one more lap if you'd like. Your pace has been good so far this time So we can still slow down at the end and go for one more push. You happy with that? Yeah
Pierre GASLY: Close the rear.
Engineer: Ok mate. Alright let's box, let's recharge on. Box this lap.
Engineer: Is the front semi-limitation question? Yeah.
ZHOU Guanyu: The car feels completely different to the first one.
ZHOU Guanyu: I mean, I don't need to try. It's the same limitation as a mobile one.
Engineer: I leave it to you if you want to try one more.
Engineer: Yeah, right before could you hear me my message? Yes, I copied everything
George RUSSELL: New 11 position, what, one, was that?
Engineer: A for what? So Ricky, I don't know that.

Engineer: I'm going to try mode Z and stay in mode Z. Next lap.
Engineer: Oscar will box this lap, box this lap.
