Radio check through the dashboard. Copy. Radio's good.

And radio check through the wheel. Radio's good. Yeah, good for me too. Just a little bit of extra info, so Nico's running two steps less EB. But again, obviously that is mainly going to affect the end of braking or throttle stage.

Stroll on tyres. Bottas and Zhou on both tyres. Ricciardo and Hamilton on soft. Ricciardo is directly behind you on the grid.

All other cars are on mediums.

Try to reintroduce the lift and coastgap 40 metres at each place.

Ricciardo has also stopped.

Kev, if we were to stop now, we would reduce the front wing by 0.3.

No, I disagree. Leave it. Copy. Ocon 2.4 ahead. Gasly 4.8 behind.
