B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Okay, Kev, no threats behind. That's nearly three and a half seconds ahead. Obviously, all cars outlaps at the moment.

Radio check. Radio's good. Yeah, good on me too.

GX3, please.

Verstappen is behind five seconds on an outlap.

Tsunoda's just crossed the start-finish line. He is a long way behind. Mode K2, please. We're not using plus this weekend.

B-Bal offset, yeah, 90 degrees. Outlap those threats.

Exit 14, make a gap to the cars ahead. Exit 15.

Turn mode push, please. Just wait for my call. Still no threats from behind. Stand by.

There's a five second gap behind if you want to make a gap to cars ahead.

That Aston did it. Messed it up there at turn 12. Red flag, red flag. Box, box, box. Box, box.

We don't know why there's a red flag in the background.

So, Lawson, just in front of you, here, right behind you. There is a six-centimetre gap behind you. Stay out of the back.

Let's go for SOC 1, since we'll have to shorten the run now, please. So, SOC 1, please.

Just fast, slow, fast now. Copy.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

Three seconds behind.

O-Ward six seconds behind starting a time-lap.

5 seconds time lap. 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second coming past. Then Nico, 4 seconds time lap.

Three seconds. Two seconds. One second.

Coming past, then Gasly, five seconds, time lap, four seconds.

Three seconds. Two seconds. One second. Coming past. No other threats at the moment.

Give some feedback to Lawson and Ocon. You can afford to be slightly slower at the apex of 3 for a better exit. That's Sainz right behind on a slow lap. Russell six seconds behind also slow lap. Can you go to SP1 please? SP2, stay in SP2.

Spark 2, apologies. Spark 3 to Spark 2. Got it. No threats behind.

Reference, you're currently P3. We've got a yellow at... no, no, track is clear. You're currently P3, Kevin, just for reference.

Also hard tyres. Russell 10 seconds behind.

In button on, please. In button on. Give you a CSL 6 after turn 3 and turn 3 much better that lap, Kev.

No threats behind. CSL 6 after turn 3, please.

I'm going to come in and drive through the pitlane to do a start at the end of the pitlane.

First car has completed second lap. Still very competitive in P4.

So, boxing stride through the pitlanes to a start.

Copy that, yep. And mode slow for one burnout in the pitlane before going for a mode RS start, please.

Russell, time lap 8 seconds behind. We have another go at the CSL curve. Obviously, we had Sykes quite close to us last time. So, CSL 6 after 3, please. Russell still 8 seconds behind.

Russell, six seconds.

Two seconds, Russell. Time lap. One second. Past.

In-button on, please. In-button on. Perez, four seconds time-lap. Three seconds. Two seconds. One second. Coming past Verstappen, six seconds time-lap. Five seconds.

Four seconds. Three seconds. There's a string of cars now. Two seconds Verstappen time lap. One second coming past. Then Tsunoda, two seconds.

One second, Tsunoda. Coming past, then Olli, four seconds.

Last lap. Box, box. Olli, two seconds.

Fifty short on your stopping position there, Kev.

OK, Kevin. Comments on that when you're ready then, please.

So wait for the session to start, Kev. It's 30 seconds. 20 seconds. 15.

10 seconds, 9, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, green light.

So thinking about the safety of your car, Delta, careful if you can.

I guess your tyres are a bit on the cool side though, so no problem if you want to push a bit harder.

You've got Stroll six seconds behind.

Stroll still six seconds behind. Car still in the pitlane.

Brake. Brake warm-up is good.

I'll still be in the pitlane. Load and push. Good to go.

Charge on. Valtas three seconds behind. Starting a time-lap.

Two seconds. One second. Coming past Nico. Four seconds. Time-lap. Three seconds. Two seconds. One second. Coming through.

We've got Stroll apparently doing... No, Stroll's backed off. Ocon time lap four seconds. Three seconds.

One second.

Coming through then Colapinto. Three seconds. Two seconds. One second. Coming through. Slow laps. Cars behind rules on slow laps.

Looks like Colapinto held you up at turn 1 on your lap, but I'm not sure at turn 1 on your lap.

Yeah. He was completely in the way, not aware of you cutting.

Okay, avoiding traffic places. The only place we lost time to Nico was turn 4. He brakes a bit later at turn 4. Otherwise it was a good lap apart from the traffic.

So, we are doing two cool-down laps.

Still no threats behind all cars on slow laps.

Gasly and Lawson who might start time-lapse, just keep an eye. Gasly's three seconds behind at the moment. Gasly's 2.7. Gasly's boxed. Lawson pushing two seconds behind time-lapse. Two seconds, one and a half seconds, one second coming past.

No threats behind.

That's nearly eight seconds behind time lap.

He's doing sustainable running. He's seven seconds behind.

Brake, warm-up, brakes kept, brake, warm-up. That's nearly six seconds time-lapse.

That's a nearly five seconds time lap.

So he's on heavy fuel, so we need to make a big gap to him when he comes past.

Four seconds behind time lap. 13 second gap behind him.

Keep the button on. Drukovic may be pushing, he's one and a half seconds behind.

Trim pitch time lap one second.

If possible, a CSL 6 after turn 3. Got Sainz five seconds behind time lap.

Sainz, four seconds time lap.

Three seconds time lap. Two seconds.

Coming past Nico, eight seconds time lap, seven seconds.

Colapinto, eight seconds, nine seconds time lap after this lap.

Thanks, folks. Colapinto, seven seconds time lap.

OK, Kev. Stopping on the marks. P1, please.

Stopping position was good there, Kev.

As a reminder, for a burnout and then a mode RS start, please.

Track is clear behind. Pushing immediately. Mode push.

Left of coast is good, Kurt. Left of coast is good.

Reference gear, we've got a six second gap behind you to O-Ward if you want to drop back from Bottas. Happy to stay where we are if you are.

Please drop back three seconds. Please drop three seconds. We want a gap to the car ahead.

Award four seconds, three seconds, two seconds. Position is good. Please pick up the pace again.

Okay Kev, sorry about all this traffic. Please use DRS on the next lap. Please use DRS on the next lap, which is your last time. Oh, you might get two.

Please use DRS on the next lap.

We have just got one more time lap here. Please use DRS again. Please use DRS again.

We have multi-function B1 position 7.

Check again, that's the chequered flag. Slow please. And if possible, a CSL 6 after turn 3.

Just got more than five seconds behind. Obviously he's taking the chequered as well.

So we're going to the grid to do a start.

OK, so when you get to the grid, please do two burnouts and then a mode RS start from the left-hand side of the grid. After the start, push to turn 4.

Good opportunity to practice full pit entry at the end of this lap.

Practice basically from turn 13 onwards before pit entry.

I'll see if you guys can do a tyre change in the box when you arrive.

OK, Kevin, so stopping on the marks for a tyre change and then P1, please.
