OK, driver, radio check, Fernando. Loud and clear, Dave. Can't quite hear their bike, there's a little bit of fire up going on, but we can always wait. Radio check, radio check. Yeah, I can hear you, I think. It's a bit quiet though, maybe we should just wait until they've killed it and then I'll be able to double check. Yeah, they're almost done now. OK, go again. Radio check, Dave, radio check. Yeah, I can hear you, yeah, very good. And umbilical and switch helmets, that's alright.

OK, Fernando said the tyres will take a good bit of warming up the first couple of laps for sure. Reasonably quick outlap. Track is clear at the moment. All clear.

So that's Sainz 8 seconds back, behind him there's a 10 second gap.

Zhou ahead is going slow. Zhou's on a hard.

So Sainz still five seconds back.

Aft in, there's a 10 second gap if he catches you.

OK, there is yellow flags second half of this straight. Yellow flags, I don't know what the problem is. So Sainz is still three seconds back, but he is pushing. Yellow flags coming up now. Sainz two and a half seconds back.

Sainz has backed off behind. It's now double yellowed behind you. So everyone behind you is slow. Tyres are still on a cold side. You can go to go 1. Go 1.

And it's no DRS, no DRS.

Yeah, red flag Fernando, red flag. So slow down, get the delta positive and we'll box. What did you see on that back straight?

Destroyed. So down that back straight. Very careful.

So keep to the left-hand side. Keep to the left-hand side down this straight. That should be clear.

Sainz is stopped.

Okay, so Sainz has stopped on the left-hand side down here.

You can stop on the marks, but it will be slippery into the box.
