Fernando ALONSOthe steering is heavier than yesterday a lot heavier just check that it's all good for you

George RUSSELLRide feels a little bit worse today.

Nico HULKENBERGAre you okay, Niko? Ah, damn it! That was unnecessary.

EngineerYeah.

Pierre GASLYWhat did he do? What did he do? What did he try to attack? Oh my gosh! The whole car is damaged now!

EngineerRed flag, red flag, keep Delta positive.

Lewis HAMILTONStaying

Engineerin

Lewis HAMILTONthe fast lane.

Charles LECLERCIs everybody okay?

EngineerEverybody is fine. Carlos had a puncture

Oscar PIASTRICheck the floor on

Engineerthe right

Oscar PIASTRIside, had some contact, is everyone okay in the crash?

EngineerI believe everyone is okay.

Lando NORRISIs everyone okay?

EngineerEveryone's okay, quite a few cars are out.

EngineerIt will be a standing start.

EngineerTire information, Lando. The Ferrari's on the hard. We think the Mercedes and Verstappen are on the medium.

EngineerGeorge no need to stick this close to Norris just manage these tires at this stage.

George RUSSELLThis is the only opportunity

EngineerOscar, we do see the impact of the damage. It looks like the aerobalance is sensible at least.

EngineerLet

George RUSSELLme know if you want me to manage everywhere, or just 3, 4, 5. If I continue at this pace, we're

Engineergoing

George RUSSELLto open a pit stop for them.

EngineerI'm not entirely sure why Russell's going so slowly he's just giving them a free pit stop gap eventually but yeah keep it there for the moment

George RUSSELLI recommend about three seconds in the pocket here, just tootling around currently.

EngineerSo George, at this stage we gain nothing from driving faster.

George RUSSELLAffirm.

Carlos SAINZShells managing, I guess, because that was close with PS3. One lab, he might have sent it.

Lando NORRISA little bit of abrasion at the front of the lift.

EngineerOkay Lando, we see it. It's the same level as Ferrari had about 10 laps ago.

EngineerOrlando, we see the first signs of front left graining on sight, just abrasion for you.

Carlos SAINZThere is a risk that if we open 20 seconds, Lando goes for a soft, maybe?

EngineerYeah, we are on this.

Carlos SAINZI think Lando on soft could be dangerous. At the end of the race, tires are starting to grain for everyone.

EngineerI

Oscar PIASTRIfeel like that's strategy from Ferrari to try and catch us out with Carlos because I don't really get why they'd want to keep Russell in the window.

EngineerThe medium of Sainz was damaged on lap one so he does not have a medium, only this hard and some softs. We think they want to avoid Lando trying anything.

EngineerIf you can, we need to slow down a bit.

Charles LECLERCYeah,

EngineerI

Charles LECLERCmean, what's the scope of that?

EngineerWe are preventing McLaren to have a pit stop window, because we have no rush in this happening.

Charles LECLERCI didn't get it, but that makes me push in the slow speed which I don't like.

Oscar PIASTRIDoesn't really seem to be slowing down, so they must be worried about something, otherwise I feel like it would just be slowing down.

Lando NORRISHow's my front left looking compared to them?

EngineerOK Lando, of the four of you, you are the best.

EngineerOrlando's pit window is behind Verstappen, for info

Carlos SAINZYeah, but give me posted if he suddenly gets a better window Yeah, sure We cannot allow that

Charles LECLERCJust for your info, I think you have a round. I mean, do you want to know the margin?

EngineerNo Charles, we're not interested. We know

Charles LECLERCYou said no, right?

EngineerNo, we are not interested

Charles LECLERCThat's rude

EngineerSorry

EngineerAnd Lando, something to start thinking about, if there was a safety car we'd have a free stop, we think we'd take it for a medium, Carlos would he have to stay out or take a soft? Have a think.

Lando NORRISI mean a free stop I'd definitely take of course.

Lewis HAMILTONWhy aren't you telling me that that was critical?

Carlos SAINZIf Lando puts on a medium, also show us his finger.

EngineerCopy.

Max VERSTAPPENWait, battery, no one is watching it again.

EngineerOkay, Yuki, we have a margin on strategy so you can push more now.

Yuki TSUNODAThat's what I tell ya!

EngineerSurf all the walls.

Charles LECLERCI'll just bring it home.

EngineerThank you.

EngineerWe won it! Finally! Yes!

Charles LECLERCYes! Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Charles LECLERCI need to cool down, but myself as well.

EngineerYeah, don't worry, we'll think about that later, with some champagne.

Charles LECLERCTonight is going to be a big night.

EngineerI think no one's going back home. I don't understand that. We all stay here.

Charles LECLERCYou better, you better stay. I hope Jimmy's

Engineeris

Charles LECLERCready.

Lando NORRISMan that was so fun.

EngineerWow.

Lando NORRISBeautiful. Congrats Oscar on the podium. Well done team. Second and fourth is not bad at all so congrats. We did what we could.

Oscar PIASTRIP2. Lovely job. P2 in Monaco. I'll take it. Thanks everyone. Yep, thanks everyone. Nice to get on the podium, thank you. Clearly still some things to work on.

EngineerIt's a shame we couldn't race more, but you showed good pace whenever we had the opportunity. Yeah, that was a tough

Valtteri BOTTASone. It's just impossible to get by some of the cars, but yeah, I tried the best I could.

EngineerWe got one nice little Monaco overtake.

Carlos SAINZYeah, congrats guys. Great weekend for the team and for Charles. Very happy for you guys and for him. Congrats.

Lando NORRISMan, that was so fun.

EngineerWow.

Lando NORRISBeautiful. Congrats, Oscar, on the podium. Well done, team. Second and fourth is not bad at all, so congrats. We did what we could.

George RUSSELLGood job there mate, well done, P5. Yeah thanks guys, shame about what happened at the start, I think we had a real challenge today on the offset strategy but good points, car's feeling great and thanks for all the hard work bringing these upgrades.

EngineerGeorge, you will be surprised to hear, very very very good, well driven, no surprise I guess.

George RUSSELLThe surprise is the compliment from you.

EngineerWe're complimenting you.

Yuki TSUNODAYeah, well done. We deserved it. Clean race week. It was nice. Physically, that was pretty easy race. Thank you very much. But yeah, I enjoyed the last couple of laps. Well done. Thank you.

EngineerLook at this mate, so yeah, P7.

Lewis HAMILTONWell done to the lads. Sorry we didn't get more points today but really great effort and took one back at home for bringing the upgrades.

EngineerThese

Lewis HAMILTONpast few weeks, really appreciate the hard work. Proud of you guys.

EngineerOkay, that's that. Well done, mate.

Max VERSTAPPENI thought the ride was done yesterday, but this was another level. Body is completely broken.

EngineerYeah, tough weekend, Max. Plenty to take out of it.

Logan SARGEANTYeah, I just, I know what we're trying to do, but yeah, a bit of a disaster, to be honest.

EngineerLogan, it was a good move on Joe. Sorry we didn't work out today on what we're doing strategically, but lots to learn from and move on from here.

Max VERSTAPPENI had to go to the toilet from left 20. That was probably the hardest thing of the race.

EngineerLovely stuff, P9.

Alexander ALBONYeah, yeah well done.

EngineerI'm not sure what race that was but the hard work was done yesterday, well done, well deserved.

Alexander ALBONYeah, it was too slow to pace, my tyres just fell out the window and I could never get them back up to symmetry.

Fernando ALONSOI thought we were P-10, mate.

EngineerNo, afraid not.

EngineerSo just a couple of... Yeah, sorry about that. It's okay mate, don't worry, we're pushing, we're trying something, so that's fair enough. There's nothing else on the table, so it's worth a go, isn't it?

EngineerIt was a long old race, but very good job managing those tires, managing the gaps. Good work today.

Pierre GASLYThank you guys. We

Engineerhad

Pierre GASLYa very, I would say, positive weekend with the first Q3 of the year and I think we did the best we could. So let's keep pushing. It's just a point, but going in the right direction, so let's keep pushing guys.

EngineerWe'll keep pushing, taking steps forward.
