That's good.

Very good.

Seven more laps.

Four more timed laps.

Yeah, Kev, seeing that the rear is going a bit, suggest increasing management at turn 9 a little bit to try and help it.

Yeah, I'm also just getting traffic all the time. Sure, understood.

Two more time laps.

OK, Kev, Nico's starting a time-lap and it's two more laps from this point.

I'm happy to box, honestly. OK, we'd like to do a lap with DRS, so if you can start the next lap with DRS and then we'll box.

So just confirming, we'll use DRS on the straight up to turn 1 and then we'll box at the end of the lap to do a start from the end of the pitlane.

OK, Kevin, no threats behind. We'll box at the end of this lap. Box, box.

Mode in, please. Mode in. Verstappen, heavy fuel time lap 9 seconds behind. Nico, low fuel time lap 13 seconds behind.

Box, cap, box. Box, box.

Okay, so that's mode slow, please. And we'll do a start at the end of the pitlane. One burnout before the start, please.

Walk car just about to leave the marks. OK, you're clear ahead.

Mode RS for the start.

Watch out for Bottas starting a time lap. He's five seconds behind. Four seconds, three seconds, two seconds, one second coming past.

The next car, Hamilton, is on a high fuel run. He's five seconds behind you. Sustainable laps.

Hamilton is on the soft tyre for reference. He's three seconds behind time lap.

Two seconds, Hamilton.

One and a half seconds, Hamilton.

One second. Coming past. No other threats. Mode in, please. Mode in.

And please could we have a CSL6 after turn 9, that's CSL6 after turn 9, please.

Still no threats behind.

Confirming boxing. Box, box.

Stopping on the marks and P1 please.

Stop and position was 50 short there, Kevin.

I'd say...

Traffic? Track is clear behind. Track is clear behind. Perez just boxed. Nico has followed you out. We've got Sainz doing heavy fuel sustained running 25 seconds behind.

Piastri doing a slow lap six seconds ahead of you.

OK, Sainz has boxed. Is Piastri on his first slow or second? It's a bit strange, he's done an outlap and he's going slowly on his first time lap, so I'm guessing he's going to go for it on the next lap.

So I'm guessing he's aborted his first lap and he's going to go for it on this one now, at the end of this lap.

Behind, we only have cars on outlaps and slow laps.

Brake temp, please, Kevin. Brake temp, if you can get some.

Brakes are OK now. Piastri is going, so mode push. You are good to go.

No threats behind. Charge up and double cooldown lap.

For reference, Pat Piastri did 13.9-0.

No threats behind, Sargeant, just leaving the pitlane.

Braking sequence just under 13.9. Braking sequence, please last at 13.8.

So, comparing the two, Nico carried, braked a little bit later, gained a tenth under braking for turn 1 and he carried a bit more apex speed through turn 10. That's the only places you lost out to him.

So, Sargeant 7.5 seconds behind on an outlap. Behind him, Norris on a slow lap, Nico on a slow lap.

OK, Norris coming through behind you. Sorry, Kevin.

Okay, there could be some debris on the track. Exit 12. I think one of the McLarens round by there brought gravel onto the track on the left-hand side.

Appreciate you going into another cool-down lap.

No threats behind. Sargeant will be starting a time lap. He's two and a half seconds behind you. Two seconds. He's going now. No, he's not. He's gone.

He's going now, one and a half seconds, one second coming past. Nico on a slow lap behind you, I believe.

Pit confirm. Nico is still on a slow lap behind you. He is right behind you now though. No other threats. Hamilton will be starting a timed lap in about 15 seconds.

So, Hamilton, 10 seconds time lap. 8 seconds time lap. 7 seconds time lap.

5 seconds Hamilton time lap.

Three seconds, Hamilton. Two seconds. One second coming past. No other threats.

Got Stroll on an outlap four seconds behind.

Stroll two seconds behind on an outlap. I'm just coming past.

I've got Alonso starting a time lap. He's 30 seconds behind that.

If okay for you, we'd suggest going 0.5 rearwards on brake balance.

Alonso is 18 seconds behind time lap.

Brake temp, please, Kev. Brake temp. Alonso, 14 seconds time lap.

Alonso, 12 seconds time lap.

Alonso, 10 seconds time lap.

Low to push. Good to go.

Okay, loaded. No threats behind.

Oh, it's a close lap.

Sector 1 was the same as your previous one. That turn 1 looked better, so that worked well.

That's Verstappen on an ALFA heavy.

Those reds are behind.

Boxing this lap. Box, box.

Plan is to stop on the marks, but Nico has just been pushed away. OK, it should be OK.

And 50 long there, Kev.

I kept at least tyres. I'll stay on to do the start from the grid.

When you go out, we can have one burnout and a mode RS start, please.

Track is clear behind.

There are seven cars approaching the start-finish line, so they may come through on this lap. Mode push. Mode push.

We still have track surface warning. Turn 12, exit.

No threats behind. Cars on time-lapse won't catch you.

Sorry, Kevin. I didn't keep my eye on the ball. We missed it by five seconds. Apologies. We'll have to do another slow lap.

So that's Hamilton on an outlap behind you. You'll take the chequered flag at the end of this lap.

So, Ricciardo behind you has taken the chequered flag.

You are about to take the chequered flag.

Okay, again, sorry about that. Cocked up on my part. Anyway, we'll be doing a start from the right-hand side. Right-hand side of the grid. One burnout before the start and then pushing to turn 4, please. One burnout right-hand side, push to turn 4. That's right.

Mode slow. Please care for the burnout.

And mode in, please. Hamilton's right behind you.

CSL6 after turn 9 will be good, please.

Fox, cat, fox.

Caution for the Sauberon entry. Caution for the Sauberon entry. Stopping on the marks for a tyre change and then P1 please.
