OK, Kev, there's just over 10 seconds to the green light.

5, 4, 1, green light.

Remember to make a gap to the car ahead.

OK, Bottas is one and a half seconds, two seconds, turn up three seconds, four seconds, five seconds ahead now. Five and a half seconds.

Bottas, five and a half seconds ahead.

Gasly, seven and a half seconds behind.

Felt like turn 1 was a bit damp. Is that possible? Seems unlikely. We haven't had any reported rain at the track. Might just be shitty track conditions, Kev.

Mode K2 plus, please.

The 1.5 safe, Bottas 6.4 ahead, Gasly 7.5 behind.

I'm not aware of anyone else reporting wet track at 1, Kev. Copy.

We're saying it might be some oil from some of the other cars that have run here, so it could be slippery, but it's not rain.

You're 1.5 safe.

Cars have got around the turnbob without issue.

Bottas is nine and a half ahead.

He's making a gap now, but you'll be OK.

Mode push. You're good to go.

Sainz three seconds, four seconds behind timed lap. Three seconds, two seconds, one second coming through. Gasly.

Gasly's in sync. Leclerc six seconds behind time lap. Leclerc four seconds.

3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second coming through, no other threats.

You're currently P1, Kev. Currently P1. Traffic? Please, nothing at the moment, Kev. Nothing at the moment.

Next car to line up is Alonso and he is 10 seconds behind.

Alonso, eight seconds time lap.

You're eight seconds slow on your delta, Kev.

Alonso, four seconds, time lap. Correction, five seconds. Four seconds, time lap.

Alonso, three and a half seconds, three seconds.

Two and a half seconds, two seconds, one and a half, one second coming through. Then we've got Stroll eight seconds behind time lap.

Stroll, five seconds time lap.

Four seconds time lap.

Three-and-a-half time lap. Three-second stroll. Boxing this lap.

Stroll two seconds, time lap one and a half seconds.

Yeah, we're well ahead of schedule. We could wait for as long as two minutes if necessary. I'm just not sure that that would be good for the tyres.

Yeah, let's just wait until they cool down to a good temperature. Yeah, copy.

Switch off, please. Kev, we'll restart on hers.

Mode K2 plus, please. Can I have a bit of air in the car? Do you want to change the front wing? Are you happy?

Put point.

Point 2 in. Point 2. Copy.

OK. Restart please. Restart.

So start the engine please, Kev. Sorry, if I wasn't clear, what was that? Tyres are still pretty hot. Yeah, we are going to have to go in about 30 seconds.

We'll just follow the other car out.

OK, Kev. Nico's two and a half, three seconds ahead, four seconds ahead. Watch out for Perez coming past on time lap.

No other threats behind.

Nico, four and a half seconds ahead.

Nico five seconds ahead. Got Gasly 11 seconds behind on an outlap.

The reference gap is currently B6.

Still no threats behind.

You're 0.5 slow. There are about four or five cars ahead of you.

A bit more brake warm-up if possible, not a huge amount. No threats behind. Nico six and a half seconds in front. He is going to have to slow up for Albon and Sainz though.

You're 1.5 slow. Nico backing up now, three and a half ahead, three seconds. Gap behind is 14 seconds to Gasly.

Nico, only one and a half seconds ahead now. Gasly on a tyre blurb. No, negative. No threats behind. You can wait. Mode push, please. I'll give you the call.

Good to go, good to go.

In, button, off. Box this lap. You are through into SQ2. Well done, mate.

No threats behind, obviously taking the chequered flag.

Okay, careful, so finish that session P10.

1.10 would put you P7.

That extra front wing was just a bit too much for the second lap. Copy that.

Probably would have been ok for the first though. Yeah. Copy. Understood. Thank you.

Thank you for watching.

I'll make a gap to Nico once the session starts.

Which is in 3, 2, 1, green light.

Gap ahead is 3 seconds. I've not got a gap code because you're not registering. 3.5, 4 seconds, 5 seconds to Nico. 5.5, 6 seconds to Nico. And Russell 6.5 behind. Nico 6.8 ahead.

Brake warm-up reminder. Brake warm-up reminder.

Nico is nine seconds ahead, Russell six and a half behind.

You're one second slow at the moment.

Gap ahead 8.5.

Let's close that gap down a little bit if we can. Please can.

Point five safe. Russell five behind.

Brakes are at a good temperature.

Nico, five seconds ahead. He's backed off quite a lot. Four seconds ahead. Three and a half seconds ahead, so we all need to pause a little bit. So mode push and just wait. Good to go. Good to go.

End of boxing this lap.

No threats behind Kev.

So we're not going to be able to hold for about 30 seconds, Kev, because we're a bit... we have less time available.

Just make sure you don't go slower than your delta.

We lost a bit to Nico at turn 12. Not sure what that was at the moment, but your lap was just over two tenths quicker than Nico overall, so sector 1 and sector 3 were very good.

How many have it set at lap time? At the moment, I think it's...

I think it's seven cars have not set times. You are P6 of the eight cars that have.

We need two tenths to move up one position. That's Norris.

Obviously, with other cars going, it's going to change the story. So, boxing this lap, Nico's going to go on the waybridge.

Stopping where the guys are. That was a bit dangerous from the RV.

Mode K2 plus, please.

Yeah, Kev, turn 12, you braked a little bit earlier than Nico, but then you rolled more speed in and that's when you had the snap. So, that's where we lost a little bit of time to Nico.

Reminder to make the gap ahead of you as you're leaving the pitlane.

So Hamilton is one and a half seconds ahead. Two seconds. Three seconds. Are we tight for time? We're okay. Five seconds. Six seconds. So you're okay to go now. Hamilton seven seconds ahead.

We have a 50 second margin.

Nico five seconds behind.

It's only 20 second margin, sorry Kev, only 20 second margin.

So, 20 second margin curve on your normal out lap. So, all OK at the moment. Static at 24 seconds margin.

We need to be a little bit quicker than that so that Nico gets the lap time.

Can't really hear you because of the beeps. No worries.

Current margin 25 seconds, so you're good.

You're safe on the Delta plan just by point one, so that's good. Hamilton is nine seconds ahead and he has no traffic ahead of him.

Brake temperatures are good. Hamilton eight seconds ahead, Nico seven seconds behind. Still 25 second margin.

Give me one second's seat.

Hamilton still six seconds ahead.

Five seconds ahead.

That's boxed. Mode push. You are good to go.

OK, Kevin, we are through. Complete the lap, but we are through to SQ3. Excellent job.

Thanks a lot.

Okay, if we think we should go new tyres based on your competitiveness.

You're P7, sorry.

OK, Kevin, so making gap to the car ahead.

We have plenty of margin, Kev, as things stand.

OK, Leclerc, one and a half seconds ahead. Two seconds. Three seconds. You have 30 seconds margin. Sorry, 45 seconds margin. He's six seconds ahead now, so you're in good shape. Eight seconds ahead, Leclerc. Thank you.

You have a 30 second margin.

You're 1.5 slow, Leclerc 11 seconds ahead, Tsunoda 8 seconds behind.

Brake warm-up please, Kev. Brake warm-up.

You're one second slow at the moment and you have about 20 seconds margin. A bit more than that, 25.

Leclerc is 13 seconds ahead, Tsunoda 9 seconds behind.

Twenty second margin.

You're 0.5 slow at the moment.

Brake temperatures are good.

No, you're in good shape. You're about 13 seconds ahead. Mode push. Good to go.

In and on boxing this lap.

You've taken the chequered flag.

Currently P6 with three cars still to set times.

OK, Kev, you are P8. You are P8. Nice job, Kev.

I think I have obviously a slightly different procedure for SQ3.

So, when you come to a stop, go from P2 to P1 and then after a pause to P0.

Great job there, Kev. Well done, mate.

Yeah, thanks mate. Well done.
