OK, Zhou pushing. He'll be the first one. Watch for Zhou into turn 1 now. Zhou around three behind. Watch for Zhou.

Ok, Zhou's backed off. Next behind is Verstappen doing sustained running 1 minute 40s. Verstappen 4-3 behind.

Mode K2 plus. K2 plus. Verstappen 2 behind. Sustain running.

GX? Yeah, GX3 when you can. No one else pushing behind. OK, behind.

The next pushing car is Perez, 20 behind.

So we're happy to do a prep push, in which case just keep the K2+.

Zhou, six behind, maybe starting a push.

Zhou, six behind pushing and then Sainz-Russell. I don't know if they're on a prep.

You can go spark one. Spark one. Zhou still 5.5, pushing.

K2, K2, Zhou 4.5.

Zhou 3.5, Sainz 8, pushing.

OK, Zhou, 3.5.

Zhou still three pushing, he's the only pushing right now.

Still Zhou, 2.5. Next push in Perez, 17 behind. Perez, refuel.

I am fronting. Verstappen 4 ahead is high fuel but needed a back off. So you need a gap to Verstappen. OK behind and no issues ahead other than Verstappen. Verstappen is 8 ahead right now.

Verstappen is 10. OK behind. Remember mode push.

Yellow there, yellow 5.

Sainz, six behind, pushing.

Sainz 5.5.

Sainz still fourth.

Hamilton is on a back off. So Sainz behind pushing. Hamilton head on a back off. Verstappen, I don't know what he's doing.

Sainz coming now, pushing.

Tsunoda behind is on a back off. Next pushing is Perez. Eight behind. High fuel pushing. Perez six.

So charge off, mode push, Perez 5 behind, high fuel pushing.

OK, charge on. Kevin first pushing. Kevin 3.5, pushing.

Kevin three behind pushing two.

Okay, next is Perez, seven behind. He's still high fuel.

Perez 4, pushing high fuel. Perez 3.

There it is, 2.

And okay, next is no one for a while. Tsunoda 23.0 behind.

We'd be happy to push next lap, Nico, even though the rears won't come down. It's looking okay for Kevin's second push. The only loss to Kevin was turn three. Everywhere else you were quicker. Track improvement still very high. Just make sure you get some break time. First pushing car, Tsunoda 11 behind and ahead you have no one. It's all clear ahead.

Tsunoda at 9.9 behind.

Tsunoda, 6.

Tsunoda 5 and then Sainz 11. Copy. Charge off mode push.

First pushing is Tsunoda, eight behind.

Okay, Tsunoda, five behind. So we can do another back-off push or we can just come in and do a practice start. I'll try one more. Copy that.

Right now, no one pushing behind. Tsunoda aborted. He is going quicker than you, though.

So just Tsunoda ahead and then behind. It's pretty clear for a long time. So the main loss was 9. You pushed the entry too much, so focus on the exit and then a little bit of an offset.

Charge off, mode push, all OK ahead and behind.

OK, behind Nico, so we'll drive through for the practice start. From the box, please.

Did you actually pull the back valve rearwards a bit or not, before the session? Yeah, we went the small step before the session.

Okay, box now, Nico, box now. Drive through for a start. Mode slow with two burnouts, please.

Set two burnouts. Yes, please.

OK, press in button, box now.

Box now, Nico, box now.

One hundred short. One hundred to the right, Nico.

First pushing, Sainz 12 behind and then Kevin 27 behind.

Sainz 10 behind pushing.

Kevin will do a prep lap. So Sainz behind pushing and he is on a push lap, first push.

Sainz 7, pushing.

Signs 5.

Sainz still 4.5 behind.

Sainz 3.5 behind and about four cars ahead on outlap. Grip is not bad actually now. OK, copy. We're happy to push first time if it feels right, otherwise you can abort. Sainz 2 behind pushing. Sainz is the only pushing car and you have like three cars ahead, directly ahead.

They're all slowing down there. Alonso's going, so Leclerc should go now. So it's just Leclerc you have to make a gap to. Ok, behind still.

Just remember, mode push, mode push. Gap to Leclerc is four. Five.

Red flag, red flag. Ok, slow the car, get plus positive on delta time and box now.

Box now, Nico, box now.

May I have the pitlane?

Nico, can you do a static fight point learn when you come in the box? Stop in the box? Sure.

One minute to go, Nico, so we won't get around in time. We'll just be able to take the checker and do the practice start. But you can still get a feel.

Thirty seconds. Thirty seconds.

10 seconds and there'll be one minute remaining in this session so you'll all be going around to the checker.

Green light.

Are we going to start the lap or not? You're going to take the checker, so you can definitely start the lap. Do whatever you can in traffic permitting. This car is just coming out of pitlane, but we're happy to do that.

OK, so remember, mode push, mode push. The last car is in turn 6, so you should have a good sector 1 available.

This is the checker.

Okay, cool the car, cool the car. Going to do the practice start. Mode slow, mode slow.

Three burnouts. Start on the left-hand side. Mode RS. And please, Spark 2, Spark 2.

OK, Nico, if you can make a gap. The gap is 8, so we need a 15 second gap, so just open up for the double stop.

Gap is 12.

Ok, gap is around 15. Kevin is at pit entry.

OK, box now, Nico, box now. Practice pitstop.
