Hi Kev, radio check through the dash please. Radio is good. Good for me too, thank you.

The track temperature is still climbing. It's gone up another two degrees since we came to the grid. Just wondering if we should just pull out another half a turn. One turn. I mean point one. Point one, that's about half a turn, yeah.

And radio check through the steering wheel. Radio's good. Yeah, that's good for me too, Kev.

Ok, Kev, Tsunoda behind is on new mediums. Otherwise, Piastri and Ocon are the only other car on new mediums. Everyone else on used mediums.

There's just been a correction and Zhou is also showing us a new medium now.

OK Kev, mode RS for the start.

Zhou has just come around the last corner, so a bit of time yet.

Last car is on the grid.

Car behind Tsunoda.

Tsunoda very close behind. Mode push.

I'd push when possible.

Tsunoda 0.5 behind Piastri is P14.

Super job, Kev.

OK, Kevin, I've dropped a little bit of time to Nico in sector 2. The gap is 2.3.

2.2. Piastri has a five second penalty.

Nico, 2.4 behind. There's eight laps to go.

Okay, Perez has finally got ahead of Tsunoda. He's six and a half seconds behind you.

He's four seconds behind Nico.

There are seven laps to go.

Just be a little bit careful with traction out of 11, Kev, but doing a great job there.

Gap till you go 2.3.

Okay, Kevin. It might help instability to reduce EB a step.

Gap to EECO, two seconds.

We could go. It's okay. Nico 1.9 behind.

So Perez is five and a half seconds behind Nico. He's only three tenths quicker on the last lap.

Suggest SOC 4, Kev. SOC 4 will give you a little bit more performance. There's four laps to go.

We've been told that we will not be fighting positions. As long as Perez stays where he is, he's still five seconds behind Nico.

Gap to Nico, 1.9. Perez still is 4.5 seconds behind Nico. Correction, 4.8.

Three more laps, three more laps. Nico 1.3 behind.

Nico, one second behind with DRS.

Two more laps, Kev, two more laps.

Gap to ECO at point 9.

Perez still over five seconds behind Nico.

Starting the last time lap. Nico one second behind with DRS.

Go 0.8 with DRS.

Checkered flag, Kev. Awesome job. P7, Nico P8. Three points for the team. Couldn't ask for more. Absolutely brilliant. Well done, mate.

Yeah, good work boys and girls. Very well done. Charge on, please Captain, charge on.

Perez finished 3.3 seconds behind Nico. He just didn't have the pace.

So Verstappen won the sprint race from Sainz, Norris P3, Leclerc P4, Russell P5, Hamilton P6 and yourself and then Nico. Absolutely fantastic, well done mate. For reference, Hamilton was six seconds ahead.

Yeah, they weren't that much faster. Yeah, copy that. That's really super. Really, really good. That's brilliant. Thank you.

OK, Kevin, when you come into the pitlane, the usual story, please. P2 to P1 and then after a pause, P0. And once again, just brilliant, mate. We're all absolutely chuffed in here. Job to do this afternoon, obviously. Fantastic.

Yeah, great start to the weekend. Well done everyone.
