Sorry, Kev, your left front wheel needs to be over the white line just to make sure you're in the parking lane. That's it. Thank you.

OK, Kev, you need to switch off and I'll give you a call at one minute to go, please. So switch off and I'll call you at one minute to go.

And back into P2, please, Kurt. Back into P2.

OK, Kev, let's fire up, please. And there's just over 45 seconds to go.

30 seconds.

20 seconds.

10 seconds.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, green light.

And radio check. Good, radio is good. Good, good for me too.

Just a reminder to warm up your brakes.

And we can have GX3, please. GX3.

Mode K2, please. Cap mode K2.

So we do need a five second minimum gap ahead of you for these three push laps. At the moment Alonso's three seconds ahead, obviously Russell right behind you.

Russell has dropped back. He's three and a half seconds behind. Brake temperatures are good.

Gap ahead is good.

Mode push. Good to go.

Pushing into the second lap.

Suggest diff 21 to try and help reduce understeer. Pushing into the third lap.

Okay, we'll be boxing this lap for a nose change. Next car, Ocon, nine seconds behind. Probably starting a timed lap.

Ocon, eight and a half seconds behind.

I've got seven seconds behind time lap.

Ocon, 6 seconds, time lap. Please, could we have a CSL6 out of turn 9? Ocon, 5 seconds behind time lap. Mode in, please, mode in. Ocon, still 5 seconds behind time lap.

CSL 6, yeah? Yes, please. CSL 6. Ocon 3.5 seconds behind time-lap. Ocon 2.5 seconds, 2 seconds, 1.5 seconds coming past. No other threats.

Okay, boxing for a nose change. No threats behind.

Okay, Kev, once you've done the nose change, we'd like you to do a start from the end of the pitlane, please.

So just pulling away from the box and then a slow DRS start at the end of the pitlane, please.

Burnout not necessary.

Track is clear behind.

Mode K2, please.

Perez, time lap is seven seconds behind.

Perez, five seconds time lap. Car behind you is Bottas on an outlap. Then Perez, three seconds time lap. Two seconds time lap for Perez. One second Perez time lap. Coming past, no other threats.

So we're just going to repeat that sequence of three time laps with this front wing.

Next car on the time-lap is Zhou. He's 16 seconds behind.

Zhou is still 12 seconds behind.

Jaffa head is good.

Okay, so mode push and three-time collapse, please.

Pushing into the second time lap.

Pushing into the final time lap and suggest EB7 if the rear will take it.

OK, Kev, no threats behind. So we can either do double cooldown and do the fast-slow-fast or you could box for a front wing adjustment. We're suggesting half a percent up on balance.

Yeah, I agree. So box. Yeah, so do a slow in lap, cool the tyres, box and we'll do an out lap. We've got Albon seven seconds behind time lap.

No threats behind kerb, no threats behind. Sergeant time lap is at 9 seconds behind. Sergeant time lap, 9 seconds.

Sergeant, six seconds time lap.

Sergeant, four seconds time lap.

Three seconds, Sergeant. Time-lap. Two seconds. Time-lap.

One second, Sargeant, coming past. Next car, Ricciardo, seven and a half seconds behind time lap.

Six seconds time lap.

Ricciardo, four seconds. Time lap. Boxing this lap for a front wing adjustment. Ricciardo, two seconds behind. One and a half seconds. One second coming past. No other threats.

OK, Kev, so we'll box you up two turns on the front wing and then if you could do another start that would be great.

At the end of the pitlane again.

And we'll go to Sock 1, please. Sock 1.

Mode RS. Yeah, you've done it. Thank you.

Russell, six seconds, five seconds, four seconds behind. Three seconds, Russell, time lap.

Two seconds. I think he's just completed a time lap, but that's safe and sorry. Then Oli, three and a half seconds behind. I think he's on a double cooldown lap. He's backed off.

So, Polly, double cool down behind you.

So, Olli on a double cooldown. His second of cooldown laps two and a half seconds behind. Just for your info, you've got a 20 kph headwind. You've got wind from outside turn 1, turn 5 and wind from inside at turn 10.

We've got Sainz on the time-lapse, I'm 12 seconds behind.

Sainz 6 seconds, 5 seconds behind time-lap. Sainz 3 seconds time-lap. 2 seconds, 1.5 seconds, 1 second. Coming past, no other threats. A reminder to use DRS on the next sequence. So, mode push.

Charge on for cool-down lap. Oli, 11 seconds behind finishing a time lap. I'm happy to do a double cool-down if you think it will be helpful for you. Yeah, definitely. Copy that.

So, Oli is pushing. He's 5th. Sorry, he's boxing. Oli behind is boxing 4 seconds behind.

Olli, three seconds behind, boxing.

Two and a half seconds. Two seconds.

Still two seconds behind. No other threats.

Olli right behind you.

So, next car on the time lap is Gasly. He's 12 seconds behind.

Gasly, 10 seconds, time lap.

Gasly, 7 seconds, time-lap. 6 seconds, Gasly, time-lap. 5 seconds. 4 seconds, time-lap. 3 seconds. 2 seconds. 1 second, coming past.

OK, next Carlos Leclerc. I believe he's on a slow lap, but he seems to be coming in quickly. He may be boxing. He's four and a half seconds behind.

Four seconds behind. Three and a half seconds. Three seconds. He must be boxing.

Pit mode 1 second. We're going into another cool-down lap.

Piastri starting a time-lap, four seconds behind. Sorry, five seconds behind. Now four seconds. Three seconds Piastri. Time-lap, two seconds time-lap, one second time-lap. Coming past, then Bottas, five seconds time-lap, four seconds time-lap.

3 seconds time-lap, 2 seconds time-lap, 1 second time-lap.

Sergeant, 5 seconds time lap. 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second. Coming past. No other threats.

Next car is Alonso. He's on an outlap. He's nine seconds behind.

We can have a CSL6 after turn 9, that would be great.

Can I do it on the in-lap? Sorry, yes, of course.

Alonso seven seconds behind on an out lap.

Alonso still seven seconds behind on his outlap.

Box, box. Copy that.

Alonso time lap 9 seconds behind.

Alonso, eight seconds time lap.

Alonso, five seconds time lap, boxing this lap.

Stopping on the marks and going to P1, please.

So just watch out for Tsunoda starting a timed lap. No, he's boxed. And for reference, Ollie found two seconds going to the new softs.

No threats behind. Olli on the cool-down lap ahead of you. Two seconds.

So next car on the time lap is Alonso and he's 25 seconds behind.

And we have Sainz on an outlap 12 seconds ahead of you.

So you're in a good position.

Push. Good to go.

Remember DRS.

Charge on for double cooldown laps.

No threats behind.

Albon starting a time lap 12 seconds behind.

Albon is five seconds behind time lap. This might be some debris at turn 9. Two seconds Albon. One second Albon time lap. Then Piastri time lap three seconds. Time lap two seconds. Time lap one second. Coming past. No other threats at the moment.

Yeah, so there looks like a bit of bodywork in the middle of the track as you come out of turn 9. You need to stay left.

There is room to go right as well.

Leclerc on time-lap 10 seconds behind. Leclerc 9 seconds time-lap, 8 seconds time-lap. Red flag, red flag. That's for that debris.

Box, box. Load in. Yeah, let's get back in please.

Okay, Kev, I think we're going to have to go to the heavy fuel load now, because if we do another run on low fuel, we're not going to have any time for heavy fuel laps at all. Yeah, okay. So, boxing this lap.

If you'd like to do another one-time lap on low fuel, I'm happy to do that.

If you could confirm that's what you'd like to do, that would be great.

Now let's do high fuel. OK, copy.

Stop in position was good there, Kev.

What's the other car doing?

I believe they're going to have you killed, Kev. I'll stand by, I'll update you.

We should do the same to compare.

Okay, the other car is going right back out on low fuel.

Go straight out. Good.

So you've got Bottas outlap 2.5 seconds behind, Zhou outlap 6 seconds behind him.

Bottas is right behind you and Zhou six seconds behind.

And then Alonso another 11 seconds behind Zhou. Obviously we don't know what these cars are doing. They may be doing heavy fuel, so you'll need to make a decent gap to any car ahead of you.

Zhou is four and a half seconds behind on an outlap.

Okay, he's three seconds behind now, out lap.

I think Zhou's probably going to do a conventional time lap. He's dropped back again.

So let's just make gaps to the cars ahead. No threats behind. Mode push. Just wait for my call.

Good to go, good to go.

OK, Kev, we'll box this lap. Mode in, please. Mode in. Zhou's starting a time-lapse six seconds behind. He's just completed a time-lapse. So, no threats behind.

So, next car on a time-lap is Perez and he's 11 seconds behind.

Box, cap, box. Box, box.

Just be careful, you might not be able to stop on the box. Box is not clear.

Box is clear.

So one burnout and then a mode RS start, please. And then pushing immediately with the management and no DRS. Watch out for Albon, three seconds behind. Time lap, two seconds. One and a half seconds and then Hamilton, two seconds behind him. Albon coming past, Hamilton, two seconds behind. Hamilton, one second behind time lap. There's a six second gap behind him.

B-Bal offset plus one.

For info, Kev, Ocon behind is sustained running but he's on much lower fuel than you are, so he's much quicker. There's a five second gap behind him.

Three more time laps, Kev, three more time laps. We've been a little bit quick through 9, otherwise the management's been good.

Two more tight laps.

Happy to push a bit harder through turn 3 and 13-14 if the tyres can give you anything.

OK, Kip, please use DRS on the next lap.

Next lap is your last time lap.

OK, that's the chequered flag.

So, mode slow, please, and we'll go to the grid to do a start.

It gives us a lot of traffic around, so we won't worry about doing a CSL after 9.

So, when you come round to the grid, I'd like you to do a start from the right-hand side, please. Right-hand side.

And before that, could you do two burnouts and then mode RS for that start, please? After the start, push to turn 4.

Two burnouts right hand side, push to turn 4. That's it.

Okay, Kev, since you got clear track in front, the CSL6 after turn 9 would be good. And mode in, please. Mode in.

Next car is five seconds behind you.

Box, box, please confirm. Box, box. Practice your pit entry. Stopping on the marks for a tyre change. And then P1, please.

How were the lights for you there, Kev?

Good. Okay. And stop position was good.
