13:57:10
Just over three minutes to the green flag.
13:57:19
OK, Kev, you need to switch off, please. We'll restart with us.
13:57:34
And back to P2, please, Kev. Back to P2.
13:57:50
Two and a half minutes.
13:58:30
Just under two minutes.
13:59:24
Just under one minute to go.
13:59:28
DRS will be disabled.
13:59:41
Fire up the car, please. Start the car, please.
14:00:16
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, green light.
14:00:27
I've just gone straight on making a decent gap. About five seconds minimum.
14:00:35
Norris is six seconds ahead of you. That's good. Seven seconds. Perfect. Sorry, that's five seconds now. That's good. Six seconds. That's good.
14:01:15
Mode K2, please. Mode K2, not K2 plus. So K2, please.
14:01:49
Gap ahead 6.5 seconds. Gap behind 4 seconds to Nico.
14:02:11
Reset brake balance. Adjuster and figure. Target 59.
14:02:23
Gap ahead 7.5 seconds. All is good.
14:02:29
You have the next 7 seconds. Motor push. You are good to go.
14:04:41
BC3 when possible.
14:06:14
Kev, to do fast load fast on the next run, we need to abort on the next lap, so this will be your last time lap. Keep pushing.
14:06:51
OK, Kev, so we'll come in at the end of this lap so that we can do fast, slow, fast on the next lap, on the next run.
14:07:05
I'll be in first this lap. Mode in please. Watch for Sainz three and a half seconds behind time lap.
14:07:23
OK, no threats behind at the moment.
14:07:48
We've got Hamilton six seconds behind time lap.
14:08:06
How is the balance, Kev? How is the balance? Do you want a change in front wing? It was good on the second push. Hamilton three seconds. Copy that. Good on the second push. Hamilton two seconds. One second. Coming past. Verstappen's on a slow lap. Then Nico is pushing two seconds, three seconds behind. Nico pushing two and a half seconds.
14:08:33
One and a half seconds coming through. Russell, five seconds, four seconds. Pushing. Pushing. Russell, time lap three and a half seconds.
14:08:48
Two and a half seconds Russell time lap. Boxing this lap, Kev. Boxed, boxed. Russell coming through. No other threats.
14:09:14
OK, Kev, you'll be waiting in the box without tyres fitted, so don't be alarmed.
14:09:33
Yep. We're losing some time to Nico. Turn to 2 and 3, Kurt. That's the only place.
14:09:41
So we're going to go fast, slow, fast, which means you can go SOC 1.
14:09:47
Mode K2 and BC7, please.
14:10:33
Suggest diff 33 to improve stability.
14:10:51
Watch out for Ricciardo. Seven seconds behind. Possible time lap, don't know.
14:11:08
Ricardo is back top, no threats behind.
14:11:36
BC1 please, BC1. Seven and a half second gap behind to Ricciardo.
14:11:46
There's a 10 second gap behind Ricciardo, who's on a slow lap in case you need it.
14:12:20
Reset any brake balance changes.
14:12:27
That's Perez. Nice slow lap. One and a half seconds. Anyone pushing behind? No. Clear behind.
14:12:37
Tsunoda seven seconds behind slow lap. Ricciardo with him. Ricciardo also slow lap, so no threats.
14:12:48
Mode push, wait, wait, wait, wait. Good to go, good to go, good to go.
14:14:57
Charge on for cool-down lap. Bottas starting a time-lapse six seconds behind.
14:15:10
Nico is just leaving the pits right behind you.
14:15:16
Bottas, two seconds. One second. Coming past.
14:15:30
No other threats at the moment.
14:15:36
So we're losing half a second to Gasly. Turn 12 at 13 apex speed.
14:15:51
And suggest FUNC 2 for turn 10 to increase stability. But there was more locking. Got Perez on an outlap 5 seconds behind. No cars on time-lapse at the moment.
14:16:12
We have plenty of margin to start this time-lapse so you can go as slow as you like with it.
14:16:24
Perez, two seconds on his outlap. One and a half seconds.
14:16:33
There's a lot of cars queuing up ahead of you.
14:16:40
There's about six cars going to be queuing up to start a time lap ahead of you.
14:16:49
Verstappen on and out lap. Sorry, there's a car behind you on and out lap. Right behind you, that's Perez.
14:16:58
Still no issues with traffic. Leclerc's at turn 8. He might become a problem because of the queue.
14:17:07
Reset any brake balance changes.
14:17:11
Go to mode push. Just wait for a gap.
14:17:27
Still no threats behind. Wait for the gap. Wait for the gap.
14:17:37
Good to go, good to go.
14:19:41
Modi, box this lap.
14:19:56
OK, Kev, I'm afraid we are out of qualifying.
14:20:15
No, OK. We should have done one time near the end with the dry track, but, you know, that was the decision we made. Yeah, OK. Nico is also out. You're P16 and P17, so you are 17. Stroll was a P607, he was the last one to get through.
14:22:06
Stopping on the marks and P1, please.
