Feedback is brake earlier for 4. Shows 3 seconds time lap.

Two and a half. Two seconds. One second. Coming through.

And then to focus on the exits of 6 and 7. So you're going in quite deep but not getting as good an exit as Nico apparently. So you have four cars behind you on slow laps, five cars in fact.

Two seconds. One second coming past. Then Piastri. Twelve seconds. Time lap. Ten seconds time lap. You've got Alonso in an outlap. One second behind you. And then Piastri. Six seconds time lap. Five.

Two, one, coming past with Alonso, right behind you. Alonso ahead now. Verstappen time-lapse six seconds, five seconds.

Three seconds, two seconds, one second coming past. Sainz on out lap, three seconds behind, no immediate threats. Russell ten seconds time lap, I think.

I think Russell's on high fuel. He's doing sustainable running. He's six seconds behind you at the moment.

And then there's a 10 second gap behind him to Albon time lap.

Russell, one second, sorry, coming through. So, Bottas, slow lap right behind you. He may be boxing, I'm not sure. Albon, time lap heavy fuel, six seconds behind.

Russell's five seconds ahead. Albon doing sustainable is five seconds behind. Albon three, two, one. Coming through.

Next one, Tsunoda, is a long way behind, so if you can make a gap to Albon, you're in a good position.

Charge on cool down lap. Piastri right behind you starting a time lap.

Okay, Tsunoda sustainable five seconds behind. Four seconds. Three seconds is another car. It's Nico right with him. Nico coming through as well.

One second coming through.

Then we've got Colapinto, looks like sustainably five, six seconds behind.

Colapinto, three seconds. No, I'm going in to sustain, alright? You are alright, yeah. Two seconds, one second coming through, so Sox 6, please, Sox 6.

We've got Bottas four seconds behind time lap. Three and a half. Three seconds, he's on a low fuel time lap. He's two and a half behind.

Bottas, two seconds, one and a half seconds, one second coming through and then you've got a nine second gap to Verstappen doing sustained running.

So Bottas two and a half seconds ahead, Verstappen seven seconds behind.

OK, you're going, so just a reminder, no DRS please. And tyre management, so lift and coast at 1, 3, 1, 4 and 16.

Had a lap time compare.

Nico is doing around 26.0.

Nico started doing 27.0 a few laps and then he reduced his pace once the slow introduction phase was over.

So your pace is very strong at the moment.

Still happy with pace, time and track curve.

Try and take a bit less of the exit kerb at the exit of 13. It's a bit hard on the car there.

OK, we've got two more time laps. We'd like to reduce the saving and also no more DRS than you need, so DRS only for yourself.

Push hard. DRS? You mean lift the coast? No DRS, sorry. Lift the coast as you wish.

This is going to be the in-lap but please keep pushing until turn 10. Keep pushing to turn 10.

OK, mode in please and box in this lap.

Next car, Gasly. Sustained running four and a half seconds behind.

Stopping on the marks MP1, please.

A hundred short there, Kevin.

He is the only threat. Everyone else is in sync with you. Zhou is five and a half. Time lap. Five seconds, Zhou.

Four seconds.

Three and a half, three seconds, Joe. Two seconds, one second coming past. So, yeah, everyone behind you is in sync. You've got Alonso five seconds behind, he's got Verstappen right behind him. But they're both doing outlaps.

And Stroll ahead of you also out-lapping.

Tell me what we're doing. Yeah, you need to come into the pitlane, I think, and wait for the pits to go out again. We've got too much time ahead.

Keep going on track. Keep going on track because the tyres will cool down in the box. Do a slow lap, please. Slow lap. You've got Tsunoda four seconds behind time lap. Three seconds. Two seconds. The tyres are good though. One second coming through.

The tyres were absolutely fine. Yeah, it's just too late. It's too early, Kev. Can't deal with this. Sorry. Hamilton is starting a time lap right behind you.

So just prepare the tyres so they're ready for the end of this lap, please.

Norris time lap three seconds, two seconds, one second coming through.

Tsunoda's just completed time-lapse, should be in sync. And also, mode charge please, mode charge.

So Bottas time lap four seconds behind.

Bottas still four seconds, three seconds, two seconds, one second coming past. Next one time up is Lawson. He's five seconds behind.

Four seconds. Three seconds.

Two seconds. One second coming past. No other threats.

So you've got Perez and Sainz on slow laps behind you.

So we will go for a time lap on the next lap.

Push. Good to go.

OK, charge on. So we've got to do a very slow lap to take the chequered flag. About two minutes 15, two minutes 20. Bottas starting a time lap eight seconds behind.

You could get it up there. Too late now.

So, Gasly, your load of cars coming out to do starts right behind you.

1.45 to the chequered flag.

Zhou, time lap five seconds behind. No, he's aborted. In fact, he's just done the time lap. So, Lawson on the time lap eight seconds behind.

Lawson, still eight seconds.

Please press the oil pump button, yeah? Please press the oil pump button. Loss in seven seconds.

Still five seconds now.

Still 50 seconds to the chequered flag. Lost four seconds.

Lost three and a half. If you can back off, Kev, that would make it more likely we don't have to do another lap. Lost one and a half seconds. Still thirty-five seconds to the chequered flag. Can I do another? Yeah, OK. Sorry.

Cap. Just brake and cap. Brake and cap. And then go.

OK, that was the chequered flag, so mode slow please, mode slow, doing a lap to the grid.

Obviously, all cars have taken the chequered flag, so no threats.

We have SPARC 2 and SOC 6, please go.

And also multi-function AQR1.

So when you come round to the grid, we'll be doing a start from the right-hand side after two burnouts.

After the start, you'll be pushing to turn 5, please.

Sorry, correction, it's turn 7 that you're pushing to. Turn 7 after the start.

Mode RS for the start.

Okay, you can be mode in now, Kevin, mode in.

And, obviously, boxing this lap. So, as usual, practice the pit entry, stop on the marks, guys will do a tyre change, and then P1, please.

Please, could you do a bike point check after the tyre change?
