OK, Kev. Tsunoda six seconds behind. He's just completed a time lap, so he should not be a threat. Piastri time lap 11 seconds. Confirming Tsunoda's backed off.

Piastri, 10 seconds time lap.

GX3 please, GX3. Piastri, seven seconds time lap.

Piastri, six seconds. Mode K2 plus, please. Mode K2 plus. Piastri, five seconds.

Piastri, just over four seconds.

Yes, three, three and a half, three seconds.

Two and a half seconds. Two seconds.

One and a half, one coming past, no other threats, so we're going into a prep lap.

Throttle's a bit high.

Mode K2, please. Mode K2.

He's behind me down the street.

Three seconds to you.

Two seconds to you. If you can go, that would be good. Mode push.

Charge on. Bottas five and a half seconds behind starting a time lap.

For reference, you are currently P1 35.6, Leclerc P2 35.7, Bottas 2.5 seconds, 2 seconds, 1.5 seconds, 1 second coming past, Piastri is in sync I believe, 4.5 seconds behind, Alonso pushing 7 seconds, 6 seconds,

Two seconds. Right behind you coming through. No other threats at the moment.

Next car, time lap, is Hamilton. He's 11 seconds behind.

Hamilton, five and a half. Four seconds, Hamilton. Three seconds, two seconds, one second coming through. Anyone else? Verstappen on heavy fuel, but he appears to have backed off. Then Nico time-lapse six seconds.

You've got four and a half, five seconds. He's on the time lap. Four seconds.

Piastri is quite close ahead of you, so I think you're going to have to let Nico through. Not enough time in front of you. Nico, three seconds time lap. Two seconds. One second coming past. No other threats.

Mode push. Verstappen is heavy fuel. I want to let him through. You're good to go. Good to go.

Mode in. Boxing this lap to do a start from the box. No threats behind.

Nico, time lap 21 seconds behind.

Box in this lap. Box, box.

Mode slow, please, for two burnouts in the pitlane and then a mode RS start from the box.

Hamilton has just completed time lap. He's right behind you.

Now at threats. Awesome. No, it's too late, it's OK. No problem.

Just boxing this lap. Mode in, please. Mode in.

Still no threats behind.

Rob Gasly on a tight lap, 19 seconds behind.

Nico Colapinto on a slow lap behind you for reference. Gasly is still 17 seconds behind him.

Still no threats behind.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Stopping on the marks at P1, please.

Stopping position was good there, Kev.

Be careful, you've got Norris. He's probably starting, I know. He's boxed. So clear behind.

I'm having to sync the gears again. Copy that.

Piastri 17 seconds behind, but maybe a prep lap. Standby.

Yep, prep lap for Piastri, 17 seconds behind.

Russell has just completed a time-lapse, so this is a slow lap for him.

We're going into a prep lap. Mode K2, please.

Seek again. Copy that Kev.

OK, Kevin, I'm afraid we don't have a solution to this problem at the moment. Russell starting a time lap. Five seconds. Four seconds.

Three seconds, Russell. Two seconds. One second. Coming past in Piastri time lap 10 seconds. Nine seconds. Eight.

7, Piastri.

6. Piastri time lap.

Five seconds, Piastri.

Four seconds, 3.5. If you could stay ahead a bit, that would be great. Three seconds.

Still 2.4, 2.3, mode push, good to go.

Double yellow, turn 12. Double yellow, turn 12. Stroll car stopped. Red flag, red flag, red flag.

So stay positive on the delta, no overtaking.

In top, please, in top.

I could get boxing.

We will keep the tyres on. We won't add any fuel. We'll just be ready to go again because we think this car will clear very quickly. There's five and a half minutes to go in the session.

Please can you let me know if you want a front wing adjustment before the next lap?

Put 0.1. Sorry, Kev, someone else talked. Plus 0.1, was it? Plus 0.1. Copy.

One minute to go.

We have time for prep lap or not? Negative. Copy.

There's only two and a half minutes to go in the session, Kev. Will only be one minute.

So we're not even going to get a time on that, are we?

So you're taking the chequered flag, Kev, but obviously you can push part of the in-lap, the lap to the grid. It should be green light.

B-Bal offset plus one hundred.

And you've lost sync again, Kerb, sorry.

I'm going to treat this in lap as a push lap. Understood.

Mode K2, please. Mode K2.

You're in mode R, so mode K2 please, Kev, mode K2.

Mode push. Good to go.

Okay, caveat, pull the lap at the exit of 16. Pull the lap at the exit of 16, please.

Mode slow, please. Mode slow. Going to the grid to do a start from the left-hand side. Two burnouts and a start from the left-hand side. Right-hand side. Right-hand side. Apologies. Right-hand side, please. Right-hand side.

After the start, pushing to turn 5.

Mode in, please. Mode in. Boxing this lap. Boxed.

So, usual deal, Kev. Practice your pit stop, pit entry, stop on the marks. The guys will do a tyre change and then P1, please.
