Radio check, Nico.

Yep, it's good. Loud and clear.

Nico, if you can get up to 8th gear on the learning, then you can go to GX3.

Okay, and you can stay out of the box. What are you going to do? Do as you want. I think it took conditions already.

We can go mode push.

Shall I continue or not? Yeah, all good. All what? Everything is good. See you in a minute.

Nico, just put it into B-C7, please. Just waiting for these guys to come past.

So Alonso is going into turn 1 on first push. Watch for Alonso. He should be alongside. Then you have a 10 second gap to the next one.

Stroll is 12 behind.

Are you OK, Nico? I don't know what happens with the... I'm trying to get back. So pull the clutch and release it.

Next car is Piastri, 12 behind. The front wing is... you just have half a front wing. Piastri, 6 behind. It's again the same as yesterday. I touched the brake and the lock-up... Copy. Watch Piastri, 2 behind, pushing.

12.25, right? Yeah, so 12.23. I can send you out there whenever and we can switch off. But we can sit there for two minutes with the engine running. And if you go to K2 now, please.

But restart is 12.25? 12.25 TBC, like they might not actually do it. But we could drive down there right now, you just have to sit there for 3-4 minutes.

When we go, Kevin's going to go first, but he'll let you by, just because it's hard to get both cars out otherwise.

So, as soon as we have the confirmation, we'll send you out just behind Kevin. Lots of people are fired up.

So they've delayed it further and still not confirmed. 12.27. Not confirmed.

Okay, it should be 30, 1 minute 30, 1 minute 30 till it goes green.

So there will be two minutes to the checker when it goes green, Nico. So it's like one lap, basically? Yeah, you'll get around start one timed, yeah. You'll get one timed.

One minute to go.

You can go SOC 1, Nico.

Track is clear.

DRS is still disabled. 20 seconds to go.

Tell Kevin he should just get on with it. Should be a green light. Just a track surface warning between 4 and 5.

OK, so the last car is going into turn 2.

We'll stay BCE 7.

Yep, BC7's good. And remember, mode push, mode push. You'll get one-timed.

Checkered flag going around for the practice start.

I can keep pushing him. Yeah, it's okay. Clear ahead.

OK, yeah, go into the grid.

Start on the left-hand side, please.

We'll just have one burnout and then mode RS start on the left, please.

And if you can go to B-C1, B-C1. First or second gear?

Second gear, please, NBC1.

Box now, Nico. Box now. Practice pitstop.
