And radio check through the dash, Ken. Radio is good.

The issue you have on the radio, does it help if I speak louder? Apparently there was an issue with the microphone position in the other helmet. And it's now sorted because you're in a different helmet now and it's all good for me. No, I'm not. I'm in the same helmet. Okay, maybe they fixed the problem then, but apparently it was out of position. So, it's all good now.

The mic is touching my mouth now, so it's the closest it can get. Okay. Apparently it was in the air vent or something, so all I could hear was air blowing past it.

Anyway, it all sounds fine now.

So, there's no update change in the weather as expected, so it might be that that forecast rain later on comes a little bit earlier, maybe the last 20-25 minutes of the race, but for now there's nothing to see. So, obviously it's just about looking after the set and seeing now what we can do with it. I'm pressing about the left front and front wing, but as I say, we don't have a reference, so let's just leave it and see what we've got. Nico's come up a little bit on aerobalance, so he's 48.15. We're at 48.45, so we're 0.3 ahead. So, how much did he come up? We haven't changed, but they've come up 0.15 compared to what they did on the laps to the grid.

I'm just thinking that his airbalance, if anything, is on the high side for him, rather than that we are particularly low, so I think it's okay. You're just going to have to look after the left front and the left rear.

Perez, Prince, Kev, Zhou and Ocon are on new soft tyres. Perez, starting from the pitlane, is on C1 hard. Everyone else on medium.

Obviously Ocon is the car just behind you on the right.

Thank you for watching.

No transcript available

Limiter on, please, Kev.

Mode RS for the start. Last car is on the grid.

Right push, please. Right push.

Two cars ahead of you, both on the soft. Gasly didn't make the start.

DRS is enabled. URP 17.

Bottas 0.7 behind with DRS.

Bottas 1.2 behind.

I think I've got rain heading towards us earlier than expected. Around 15 laps from now.

Bottas 2.3 seconds behind. Perez 2 seconds behind him.

Car behind is Perez. 3.3 seconds.

Perez, last lap was 32.3.

Tyre management is good, Kev.

Perez, 2.6 behind.

Quickly. Yes.

Understood. You're quicker than those guys. Understood.

Six laps completed.

There's Ricciardo ahead of you, just passing Zhou.

If understeer is a problem, we'd suggest Diff 31.

Anticipating light rain in seven laps.

Top height, Perez, point four.

OK, so that's Ricciardo ahead of you. 1.5 seconds. Nice job so far, Kevin. Keep it up. You are P15.

Perez 0.6 behind.

Perez, point five.

10 laps completed.

Still expecting the rain in around 5 laps. We'd like to start with, but the intensity could increase quite quickly.

Perez 0.6.

Perez, point six.

Twelve laps completed.

Perez 0.6, Ricciardo 1.1 ahead.

Light drizzle now. Copy that. We're seeing some very light drops, probably for one or two laps and then heavier rain starting after that.

Brake will be turn 15 through to turn 1 first. That's the earliest place you'll get it.

OK. Possible light rain around turn 3 to 7.

Nice job, Kev. Sargeant three seconds ahead. This last lap 33.2.

URP 15. Rain indicators showing at turn 15.

Big moment in 10.50 when there's a wet. Copy that, we saw that.

It's only going to get wetter from this point.

Brake lightly for turn 13.

Overall lap time hasn't changed that much. Just don't want to put the inters on too early to damage them.

We don't think it's going to get any heavier than this for some time, Kev, so if you can stay out, it's the right thing to be doing.

Sergeant 2.5 ahead, Perez 1.7 behind.

Suggest EB5 to help stability.

Just be careful at turn 1. Couple of cars just gone off there. DRS is disabled.

So, Kev, are we okay to stay out on the dry tyres?

Yeah, I think so. Sector 2 is dry. Sector 1 is very, very wet. Copy that. Doing an excellent job. No other cars have stopped at the moment, so let's just keep going.

The rain should be easing off over the next two or three laps.

OK, Perez has boxed.

Sergeant, one point drive ahead.

Tsunoda in P10 is three seconds ahead of you.

OK, we see that you're losing front tyre temperature, so if you can work the fronts a little bit harder, that should help.

So, four cars have stopped for interest, but the track is too dry for them. They will damage those tyres very quickly.

You are currently P13.

So the rain intensity will get a bit higher in about four laps time, but it won't be any worse than what you've just had.

Cars that stopped, for instance, are now going back to dry tyres.

So tyre temperatures are coming up, that's good.

DRS is enabled. DRS is enabled. You have DRS.

P12, Kev. Nice job.

That's Albon 1.7 seconds ahead of you.

So the rain intensity has picked up a little bit, but still not as strong as the worst we've had so far.

That's around turn 18 and turn 17. Just beat through.

Also possibly turn 15, turn 1, turn 3.

Albon 1.3 ahead.

Turns 6 and 7 are wetter now.

Also, turn 9. More rain at turn 9.

DRS is disabled. Sargeant one second behind.

Track that no-one has boxed for entrance. No-one has boxed.

A couple of cars in front of me at turn 1.

And still wet at 6.7.

Caution, 9. Caution, 9. And high speed section to turn 15.

It's into conditions in sector 2, we believe, but the rest of the circuit is still dry. Enough for dry tyres.

Suggest P6 to help stability.

OK, it is wet. Turn 6 to turn 9.

How do you feel about Inters, Kev? This rain is like... You never know. Look at the radar. Yeah. The rain is staying the same level for about 15 minutes.

B-C-7 please, Kev. B-C-7. Box this way. Yeah, box, box.

Tyre 4, please. Tyre 4.

So, turn 4, please, Kev.

No threats behind.

Suggest B-B-5 and shape 2. Car behind 5 seconds. Is Sargeant also on an outlap on inters?

BC7 when possible. BC7 when possible.

Currently P12, Kevin. P12. Albon ahead. Tsunoda P10 ahead of him.

Albon 4.4 ahead, Sargeant 1.9 behind.

Twenty-three laps to go.

At the moment we expect to be on these tyres for about another 8 to 10 laps.

Albon 3.9 ahead.

If you can cool the left side tyres, that would be great. They're getting a bit hot.

I think if we expect the rain intensity, it's going to be increasing. Rain intensity is going to be increasing.

Gap to Sargeant. 2.2 behind, 3.4 to Albon ahead.

Gap to Albon, 3.8. Sargeant, 2.8 behind.

Albon 4.7 ahead, Sargeant 2.5 behind.

20 laps to go. We're expecting to do 7 or 8 more laps on these tyres.

Rain intensity increasing from turn 14 to turn 1.

P11, Kev Russell has retired.

Sargeant, 3.2 behind. Albon. Yeah, good, good.

More gap in position.

Sorry, outbook.

Suggest EB6 to help reduce understeer if that's a problem for you.

Brake is easing off.

Give me more information on gaps. Copy. So Albon is six seconds ahead, Sargeant 3.4 behind, Ricciardo is 1.5 behind Sargeant.

Albon is 3.7 seconds behind Tsunoda who's P9. Sargeant still four seconds behind you.

Albon is slower in 11th, faster in 12th and 13th.

Albon's last lap 45.2. He's 5.8 ahead. Sargeant 3.6 behind. You were three tenths quicker than Sargeant last lap.

Suggest diff 31 to help reduce mid-corner understeer.

Gap to Albon, 6.8. Gap behind, 3.3.

We think sector 1 is at the crossover point to dry tyres. Definitely, yes.

Kev, what do you think about stopping for dry tyres? It's improving quickly.

Go forward right.

Okay, let's do it. Box, box, box. Box, box, box. Box, box.

Tyre 1. Tyre 1.

Ricciardo has boxed behind you.

DC7 to help warm up the rears.

Track will be clear behind.

The leader, Norris, is two seconds behind. One second. One and a half seconds. Norris the leader.

Norris still 1.7 seconds behind.

Norris 1.7 seconds behind.

Norris one second behind you. A blue flag for Norris. Ricciardo 1.7 seconds behind Norris. Norris is on inters.

Norris is boxing. Norris is boxing.

BC1, please. BC1. Ricciardo 2.6 behind. Sargeant coming out of the pitlane.

Albon 12 seconds ahead on medium tyres now.

Sergeant 1.4 behind.

Albon 11 seconds ahead.

The car ahead is Ocon. He's a lap behind you. He's a lap behind you.

Sergeant one second behind.

Please press the oil pump button when you can, Sgt.7.

Watch for Sargeant right behind you.

DRS is enabled.

Sergeant, point three with DRS.

Sergeant, point 4 with DRS.

Sergeant, 0.7 with DRS.

Sergeant, point 5, DRS.

10 laps to go.

Sergeant, point 5 with DRS.

Last lap, four tenths quicker than the cars ahead.

Sergeant, point 5, DRS.

Sergeant, 0.3 DRS.

Sergeant point four behind.

Multifunction Bravo 2. Multifunction Bravo 4. Position 2, please, Kev.

Ricciardo 3.6 behind.

Gap to recover 3.5.

Left rear tyre temperature is high, Ken.

Six laps to go, including this one.

The reference compared to Nico, he's getting better exits from 4 and 7 by being less aggressive into those corners.

Five more laps, Ricciardo 3.1.

Ricciardo 3.2 behind.

Four laps to go. Ricciardo 3.2.

We can go to SOC 4 and still have some margin for the last lap. Gap to Sargeant come down to 1.6.

Three more laps.

Captain Sargeant 1.4.

Gap to S1.1.

Race leader Hamilton is 2.5 behind.

The next lap is the last lap.

I can't check it like that.

And let's have mode in, please, Kev, mode in.

OK Kevin, good job keeping it on the island through the wet stuff. It's pretty tricky.

Good step from the P17 to P12.

It's a shame we didn't quite have the pace to get that last point, but good job.

For reference, Hamilton won the race from Verstappen, Norris P3, Piastri P4, Sainz P5, Nico was P6, Stroll P7, Alonso P8, Albon P9 and Tsunoda was P10.

Yeah, very well done guys. Great car, really good job.

OK, thank you. Usual story. Come to stop, go to P1 and then after a pause, P0 please.
