And for understeer, suggest Diff 11, Kev. We've got Schwarzmann, what looks like sustained running, and he is 30 seconds behind. No other threats than him. Might be a good idea to box and try half a percent more aerobalance. Copy. We'll do that.

Okay, so still all these cars are on slow or outlaps.

OK, Kev, so confirming you're in a box for a front wing adjustment. Still no threats behind all these cars are slow laps or outlaps.

Copy that. Touch, touch. Copy that.

If possible, it would be good to do another practice start.

So if you've got time to do mode slow and a couple of burnouts and then mode RS, that'd be great. No, I don't want to do that. Okay, no worries. Guess you'll heat the rear tyres up. Understood.

So just stop at the marks for the front wheel adjustment.

Get care of the traction. Stay clear as you exit the pitlane.

Car on a time-lapse seven seconds behind six seconds.

5 seconds that car, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second, coming past, no other threats.

So, all cars behind on slow were in laps, I believe.

Stroll 7 seconds behind on a slow lap or an in-lap.

And we've got Gasly 17 seconds behind. I believe that's a time-lap. Yeah, Gasly's on a time-lap and he's 15 seconds behind.

Gasly is 11 seconds behind time lap.

No threats behind.

We have a CSL 6. We have a CSL 6. Please select CSL 6.

Still no threats behind. Still no threats behind.

Still no threats behind Kevin.

OK, Kevin, confirming you're a box in this lap. Yes, box.

Stopping on the marks at B, please.

And his top position was good, thank you.

Comments on that runway, please. Yeah, can I just have my belts undone?

Yeah, he appears to have backed off, so you're clear behind.

Just a reminder for no DRS.

Lifting coast 569, please.

We'll get six time laps after this lap.

OK, happy to push a little bit harder, just being careful of the tyres at 2, 3 and 9.

I believe Piastri behind is running much lower fuel than us, Kev, but we've pressed and you've got three more time laps at the end of this one.

Mode F1, please, Kev. Mode F1. Two-time laps.

OK, Kevin, you're about to start your last time lap. How do you push through the 2 and 3?

At mode push, please. Mode push.

OK, Kev, take off the chequered flag. They've screwed up with this test and it's already active through turn 2 and 3. So it's showing yellows and low track grip.

Okay, if we could have a CSL6 after up to turn 6, please, that would be great. And mode slow, please, mode slow. Sorry, it should be mode in. Apologies, mode in.

Sorry, can you go back to motor slow, please? Motor slow is good, please. Sorry.

So VSC is deployed.

Could we have multi-A, grip 11, please? Multi-A, grip 11.

OK, Kev, so you're going to do a start from the left-hand side of the grid. So in mode slow we'll have two burnouts and then mode RS for the start. When you've done the start, please push to turn 6 in mode RS. Which side? Left-hand side, please. Left-hand side. Push to turn 6 in mode RS, but then go to mode push and use DRS to turn 9, please. Then we'll go mode in and box.

Still showing yellow flags. Sorry, Kev, through 2 and 3. They've really messed this up for us. OK, you're under VSC, but I would still like you to use mode push and DRS from turn 7 up to turn 9, please.

So if it's possible to drop back and the car's ahead of you to allow us to do that, that'd be fantastic. You've got 12 seconds behind you.

So, mode push and DRS up to turn 9 please, Kev.

Yeah, DRS doesn't work here.

Remember what? Most low, in. Most low and in, please, yeah.

Which one? Mode in, please. Mode in, mode in, please, Kev. Boxing this lap. The guys will do a tight race.

Radio check, radio check.

For B is perfect.

Engine off at 190, please.
