No start. No start, Kev. No start, Michigan.

Boat K2, please. Boat K2.

All cars around you are on outlaps. There will be no threats.

Brake temperature is a good cap.

Let's go mode push and wait for my call.

Good to go, good to go.

Charge on for double cooldown lap.

Alonso completing a time lap, 11 seconds behind.

For reference, Norris fastest on the medium 14.2, but then a big gap to Hamilton 15.1.

Still no threats behind.

Comparing to Bottas, who's P3, we just lost some. We were slower through the apex and exit of turn 4. Alonso, on a cool-down lap or an in-lap behind you.

Piastri seven seconds behind on a slow lap.

So you are currently P6. Two cars have set times yet and four cars are on hard tyres behind you.

Next car is Nico. He's on a slow lap.

Next corner time-lap. Leclerc is 5 seconds behind. Leclerc 4 seconds, time-lap. 3 seconds, time-lap. 2 seconds, 1.5 seconds, coming past. Then Sainz 3 seconds behind, time-lap. Sainz 2 seconds, time-lap. Sainz 1 second, time-lap. Coming through. Then mode push. And you are good to go. Double, double slow. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Good call. So we have Bottas just completing a time-lap, but it'll be after you've crossed the line.

Sergeant may be starting a time-lap. He's three seconds behind you. Two seconds time-lap, Sergeant. One second coming past with another car who's just cooled down. Nico time-lap. Four seconds behind. Two seconds behind time-lap. One and a half seconds time-lap, Nico. One second coming past. Verstappen has just completed the lap behind you.

So for reference, you're P9. All cars have run. Four cars have run hard tyres. That's Piastri, Zhou, Albon and Sargeant.

Verstappen on a slow lap, three seconds behind. Albon pushing five seconds behind. Albon four seconds time lap. Three seconds, two seconds time lap. Albon one and a half seconds coming past.

No other threats at the moment.

Brake temperature, please, Kev. Think about getting the brakes up.

Next car on the time lap is Norris but he's 23 seconds behind.

Norris still a long way behind. No threats.

Let's wait for the gap mode to break.

Good to go, to go.

Charge on, double cool down. Nico starting a time lap 6 seconds behind.

Nico, five and a half seconds. Five seconds. Four and a half seconds.

3 seconds Nico time lap. 2.5 seconds, 2 seconds, 1.5 seconds coming through. No other threats at the moment.

So, gains for you in sector 1 and sector 3. Small loss in sector 2. We're currently P11.

Piastri on hards, he's gone quicker.

Got Bottas on a time lap 13 seconds behind.

Bottas, eight seconds behind time-lap. Bottas, six seconds time-lap. Five seconds time-lap. Four seconds. Three seconds time-lap. Two seconds. One second. Coming past. Norris going quickly. He's not on a time-lap but he's two seconds behind you. May be coming in. One second behind you. Going fast. Thanks for watching.

One second behind you Perez, looks like he's boxing.

Zhou, two seconds behind you, starting a time-lap. Zhou, pushing, one second, coming past, then Albon, three seconds behind, two seconds behind, one and a half seconds behind, time-lap coming through.

No other threats at the moment.

Still no more threats behind.

And we'd suggest EB8 for the next push lap if the rear will take it.

So, Tsunoda on double cooldown behind you. Sainz, I think, is on an in-lap. He's two seconds behind you. One and a half seconds behind you. One second coming past you now.

Still no threats immediately behind.

Leclerc on a time lapse eight seconds behind.

Leclerc, 5 seconds time lap, 4 seconds time lap, 3 seconds time lap, 2 seconds time lap.

One second time lap coming through. No other threats at the moment.

So we've got Gasly on a time lap, 15 seconds behind. Verstappen behind you looks like he's on an in-lap. He's going quickly. Okay. Ricciardo behind you, I believe he's on a double cooldown, but he's coming past you. So Gasly six seconds behind time lap. Five seconds time lap. Four seconds. Three seconds. Two seconds. One second. Coming past. No other threats at the moment. Hamilton five seconds behind on an out lap.

Okay, so let's go mode push and just wait for a gap.

Good to go, good to go.

Mode in. Boxing this lap. No threats behind.

Thanks, folks.

Yeah, no cars behind for at least 30 seconds.

And we're still P11.

And boxing this lap, Kev. Close, close.

Stopping on the marks and B1, please.

Fifty long, Matt Katz.

Watch out for Sainz behind you. Your time lap is coming past you now.

No other threats behind at the moment, Kev. Sargeant on an outlap, behind him Albon on a cool-down lap.

Still no threats behind Sargeant. Six seconds behind on his outlap.

Leclerc on a time lap is about 27 seconds behind you.

Brake temperature. Reminder. Brake temperature. Reminder, Ken.

Look, 21 seconds behind time lap.

So, load, push, good to go.

Charge on. Double cooldown lap. No threats behind.

Sergeant behind has also just completed a time-lap. Verstappen starting a time-lap 19 seconds behind.

Stafford, 10 seconds time lap. Car behind you is Sargeant on a slow lap or an in lap.

He's coming up behind you quickly. I think he's on an in-lap. Verstappen, four seconds time lap, three seconds time lap, two seconds time lap, one second coming past. No other threats.

So, we're just one tenth slower than Bottas. Again, turn 4 line was better, apparently, but you could probably try and carry a bit more entry speed if possible. That's turn 4. And the same at turn 10, apparently.

Still no threats behind.

So, got Tsunoda on a slow lap or in-lap. Six seconds behind you. Ocon on an out-lap behind him, so Ocon will be starting a time-lap.

Tsunoda going quickly, three seconds behind. But he's on a slow lap or an in-lap. Probably an in-lap. He's right behind you now, coming past. Ocon three seconds behind on an out-lap. You're going into another cool-down lap.

So you need to watch out for Ocon. He's one second behind. Pushing now, coming through. And then we've got Alonso seven seconds behind. He's going to be starting a time lap.

Alonso, four seconds. Will be time-lap. Three seconds. Two seconds. One second. Coming past. Hamilton has just completed the time-lap right behind you.

No other threats at the moment.

Ricciardo completing a time lap behind you, so he's not a threat.

So still no threats behind.

So the suggestion is to go to EB9 but not use the toggle at turn 10.

Ricciardo, behind you has just completed a time lap. Why no toggle in 10?

The thought might be that it would be too unstable in turn 10, but it's your call, Kev. So we've got Leclerc time-lapse six seconds behind. All the other cars are on slow laps or in-laps. Leclerc three seconds time-lap. Two seconds time-lap. One second time-lap. Coming past. Then we've got Gasly on an out-lap three seconds behind. So the car behind you is Albon on a slow lap or an in-lap, then Gasly on an out-lap. Gasly is right with Albon behind you.

Nico, time lap 5 seconds behind. 5 seconds behind.

Four seconds, Nico, time-lap, three seconds, two seconds, one second, coming through, then Russell, time-lap, two seconds, one second, coming through, then Zhou, four seconds, time-lap, three seconds, time-lap, two seconds, time-lap.

Three seconds, Zhou, time-lap. Nico is boxing. Zhou, one and a half seconds, time-lap, one second, then Bottas, three seconds, time-lap, two seconds, time-lap, one second. OK, if you're in mode push, you can go.

Pit mode in. Boxing this lap. No threats behind. Tyres obviously only good for one time lap, but turn 4 was an improvement that lap, Kevin.

If we could have a CSL6 after turn 9, that would be great.

Ocon and Gasly on their slow laps behind you.

Alonso is going to be starting a time-lap.

Full sequence lap. Flaps flaps.

Stopping on the marks at P1, please.

Stopping position was good there, Kev.

So, one burnout is possible at the mode RS start. Please be careful at the mode RS start.

And then it'll be mode push and push immediately, no DRS. Push immediately, no DRS.

Verstappen, six seconds behind. Heavy fuel time lap. Five seconds. Four seconds. And behind him? Verstappen behind him. He's four and a half seconds behind due time lap. Mode push, please. Mode push.

Three seconds, two and a half seconds, Verstappen.

Four and a half seconds.

No other threats. No other threats.

So, reminder for lift and coast, turn 1, turn 10, at lowering speed about one and a half tenths through 3, 9, 8, 13 and 14.

We'll probably get a clean time lapse, probably a clean time lapse.

You're a little bit quick in 9 and 14 for our liking, Kev. Just a little bit too fast in those corners.

Turn 9. Good. Turn 9. Good.

Turn 14 also good there.

Pace is good currently, Kev. Faster than Tsunoda offset tyres.

Yeah, this pace is strong, Kev, so if we could just maintain it, then we're in good shape.

Expecting 9.4 time lapse.

Set at 4 laps.

Please still be decent and careful after Perez, who's lapping about one and a half seconds that quicker, three seconds behind.

5 more time laps.

Still very happy with pace and management. Four more laps.

Three more laps.

Two more laps.

Please press the oil pump button. Oil pump button.

Please use DRS on the next lap. Please use DRS on the next lap, which is your last time lap.

Okay, that's the chequered flag.

So this is the lap to the grid.

You'll be the fourth car to do a start from the grid.

Mode slow, please. Mode slow.

Can I go mode slow close to the grid because there's no gaps. Happy to do that.

So it'll be two burnouts and then a mode RS start from the left side of the grid, that's the left side, and then pushing to turn 4.

Two going out of the left-hand side, first to turn 4.

Mode slow, please. Mode slow for the burnouts.

Mode in, please. Mode in.

We'll practice pitlane entry. The guys will do a tyre change. But after the tyre change, I'd like you to do a static fight point learn, please. After the tyre change.

Reminder, static bike point learn once the tyre change is complete, please.
