Thank you for watching.

So, limiter on please, Kev.

Mode RS for the start.

Last car is on the grid.

Car behind is Alonso on the hofts.

Don't push, don't push.

Fucking loser!

Carbon Hyde is below us. Lawson, moving in a straight line when I was drift tripping. Sorry Kevin, we're sorry.

You know, he was reacting. Yeah, copy it. We're on to race patrol.

Way to go. So, five cars behind Perez, first one.

Alonso 1.7 ahead.

DRS is enabled.

Perez, point seven.

Thrust point six.

DRS 0.7. Tyres are above 90 degrees.

You're off the pole.

Alonso is boxing. Alonso boxing.

Perez, 0.5 behind your bounce adjuster is rearwards. Think that might be what you want, just letting you know.

Okay Kev, they've decided no action against Lawson. He's 2.8 ahead of you, Perez 0.6 behind.

Perez, point 4.

Perez, 0.7. You are slightly over the sliding limits through 10.11 but appreciate the position with Perez.

Awesome. Two seconds ahead.

Tyres feel OK. Copy.

Perez point six, pace is very good. You're quicker than the four cars ahead of you.

Perez, point six.

Car behind is Albon, point two.

Albon, point three.

Alpha 0.5.

Groening just opened up this last lap. Copy.

Albon, point four.

Obviously got to try and play the long game here, Kev. Albon 0.3 behind at the moment.

Nine laps completed, shortly.

Albon has boxed.

Bottas 2.2 behind.

So try managing a bit more through 10 and 11 if possible now that you don't have pressure from behind.

Carl's ahead of you, struggling with graining, so that's why you're catching up to the pack now.

That's Lawson 1.9 ahead, Bottas 1.3 behind.

Bottas, point seven. He's got Colapinto right behind him.

Bottas, 0.6. Perez, Kev, the only option is to try and work our way through the graining.

I can't believe it.

Lawson is boxing.

Bottas, point three. He's got Verstappen who's just boxed behind him.

Car behind is Verstappen, point six.

Verstappen, 0.5. Bottas, 0.6 behind him.

Okay, Bottas 0.4 behind. Perez, who starts from hards, is already reporting graining as well, so the hard is not totally trustworthy.

Point two, Bottas.

Car behind is Sainz, who's pitted.

Behind Sainz is Leclerc.

Sainz, right behind you.

Sainz 0.4, Leclerc 0.6 behind him. Car behind Leclerc is Norris.

So that's Norris 0.3 behind.

Bottas is one second behind you.

Norris, 0.3. The rear tyres are good, it's just the front's... Yeah, got to try and work through it, yeah, got to try and work through it.

Car behind this Hamilton.

Hamilton, point three. Bottas one second behind Hamilton.

Is there any way I can get more front?

Only with shape. Shape 4, is there any suggestion?

Bottas, P5.

Other than that, Diff 11. Diff 11 is the only other thing.

Bottas 0.7. He's got Tsunoda who has boxed right behind him.

Car behind is Tsunoda.

Tsunoda, point two.

Tsunoda 0.4. Behind Tsunoda is Piastri. One second behind Tsunoda.

Gas to your point 2.

Boat T4, Boat T4, Alonso 1.2 behind.

The thought is to add 0.3 at the stop. Is that enough?

I don't think we should end. Yeah, stay where we are.

Correction. Please do it. Please do it.

Copy that, Kev. Mode RS for the stop. The hards do need management, Kev. The hards do need management.

Bottas 2.4 behind you, also pitted. Colapinto has pitted already two seconds ahead.

EB6 and shape 3, please.

Diff 21.

Mode push. No, no, no, it's okay. Okay, mode push is important.

Bottas 4.6 behind. Radio is off. Bottas 1.3.

Bottas, point six.

Assault level is very low, Kevin. I'm sure you're aware of that.

29 laps to go at the end of this one.

Bottas, point seven.

Bottas, point four.

Bottas, point six.

Bottas, point six.

Doing a great job with the management, Kev. Let's see how this goes long run.

22 laps completed, 28 to go.

Bottas, point eight.

Management is excellent, Kev. There are cars complaining that they might have to do three stops ahead of you. There's a lot of graining on hards ahead of you. So keep it up, you're doing a great job.

Any feedback on tyres would be good, Kevin. So far, it's okay. Copy that. Give it up. Good job.

A-Low has just boxed again, coming out just in front of you.

Bottas, 0.7. Sorry, couldn't give you a better heads up about Alonso. Just try and keep the front tyres alive as much as you can, Kev.

Albonner's box will come out just in front of Alonso.

Albon retired. Bottas 1.4 behind.

Really critical to look after those fronts, Kevin. I know you're doing the best you can.

Bottas 1.4

So there are seven cars ahead of us that are inside the pitstop window.

Okay, Copiloto has boxed and has come out six seconds behind Bottas.

You are P16. There are three cars that have only done one step so far that are within your pitstop window.

Twenty three laps to go.

Bottas, point eight.

Bottas, point nine. Sorry for the late call.

Bottas is 1.1 behind.

Bottas 4.4 behind.

Kevin definitely doing the right thing trying to push the pace up now. Let's see if these tyres can last.

So, Kev, you're P15 now. You're faster than the cars behind you. Alonso's doing 37.8. Tsunoda has stopped and come out ahead of Alonso by five seconds. Lawson's doing 39.2s on 19 lap hards.

Please press the all pump button. Lawson is 11 seconds ahead.

Ocon is doing 40.3 and he's 12 seconds ahead.

I believe Perez will box and come out 1.2 behind you.

That will be Perez's second pitstop.

Confirming Perez boxing.

Oil pump up, please, Kev. Oil pump up.

Perez 1.8 behind, Lawson 9 ahead, 8 ahead, Ocon 9 ahead.

18 laps to go, including this one.

Hong Kong is P10.

Perez 2.7 behind on his outlap, clearly managing his tyres.

N7 ahead, Ocon 8 ahead.

Ferrari suggest using third gear at turn one for performance.

Albon Pinto, point five.

Colapinto 1.2.

Colapinto 1.1, no DRS.

Ocon, point six behind. You're currently P12.

Still Ocon 1.4 behind. Alonso P10 is seven seconds ahead of you.

Focus 4.6.

Colapinto, two seconds behind. Correction, 1.7.

Tsunoda doing 38.2, holding up the three cars behind him.

Colapinto 1.6. There's eight laps to go at the end of this lap.

Albon Pinto, 1.4.

We see that your front graining looks like it's opened up. Colapinto one second behind. Just keep going. Do the best you can. Speak louder. On this straight I can't hear you. No problem. Stand by.

See, graining has opened up, but just keep going. Do the best you can.

Colapinto point six.

Colapinto, point six.

Colapinto, point six.

Colapinto, one second, no DRS.

Looks like Alonso ahead is struggling now.

Five more laps.

Alonso, six seconds ahead.

Colapinto 1.9, Alonso 5.5.

Four laps to go, including this one. Alonso 4.8 ahead.

Alonso, 4.2.

Suggest SOC 4. It would allow us to use K1 on the last lap.

Alonso, 3.6.

Two more laps. Alonso 2.6.

About to start the last time lap. Alonso 1.2.

That's the chequered flag, Kev. I thought that was a brilliant drive from you, mate. In the circumstances, P12 is not enough of a result for that. Thanks very much.

Mode charge, please, Kev. Mode charge.

So, Kev, you were the only guy able to do a one-stop race. You did excellent managing the tyres. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not a good thing. That's not a good thing. Well, that's another thing, yeah.

Anyway, you made the best of what we did there.

OK, Kev, the result was that Hamilton won the race. Sorry, Russell won the race from Hamilton. Sainz was third, Leclerc fourth, Verstappen fifth, Norris sixth, Piastri seventh, Nico was eighth, Tsunoda ninth, Perez tenth, Alonso obviously eleventh.

Well, that's a good day for the team. Yeah, Gasly retired quite early on and Ocon finished with P17.

OK, Kev, when you come in the pitlane, come to a stop, P2 to P1, and then after a pause, P0, please.
