Good to go. Good to go.

What happened there at turn 1?

At the moment we just say you brake too late, Kev, sorry.

Your Bottas three and a half seconds behind on a timed lap.

OK, Bottas has aborted. Bottas has aborted. So next car time lap is Nico.

Charge off. No threats behind. Quite a few other cars also did abort their laps.

I mean, it felt a bit odd. Turn 1, just through the rear.

Next car on time lap is Bottas and he's a ten seconds behind. We'll look into it.

Bottas, seven seconds time lap. Six seconds.

Four seconds, three seconds, two seconds. Nico is six seconds behind time-lapse. Behind time-lapse, four seconds, four seconds.

Three seconds.

Two seconds. One second coming past. No other threats at the moment.

So we see less headwind into 1 and 4. That might have contributed to it. So less headwind. Stroll on a slow lap behind you. All cars behind him also slow lap.

Stroll seems to be pushing quite hard.

OK, 12 second gap behind.

Could we have multi A QR6 please, Kev? Multi A QR6. No threats behind.

So, for reference, Nico's time 32.0. No threats behind. Mode push and you are good to go.

Watch for Russell right behind you starting a time lap. Nico three seconds behind starting a time lap, then Alonso three more seconds behind him. Ok, Alonso has just completed a time lap, you're clear behind.

So we've got, Norris has just completed a time-lap as well, so there's no threats behind at the moment. We are boxing this lap. If we could have a CSL6 after turn 12, that'd be great.

Copy. Box, box.

So that's CSL 6, please.

Verstappen eight seconds behind time-lap. Seven seconds.

Verstappen, six and a half seconds behind time lap.

Verstappen, six seconds, five seconds, four seconds.

Verstappen, three seconds, two seconds coming past. No other threats.

Confirmed the fox in this lap. Fox, fox.

Okay, careful stopping on the marks at P1, please.

And your stopping position was very good there, Kev.

Zhou, 10 seconds. Correction, Zhou, 10 seconds now.

In fact, I think Zhou has aborted his lap. He has, so no threats behind.

Brake adjuster is in the mid position at the moment, Kev.

No threats behind.

Brake temperatures are good.

Still no threat for heights. Let's just make a gap to the cars in front.

Slow to push, wait for my call. Brake.

Good to go, good to go.

Charge on a cool-down lap. No threats behind.

So Leclerc right behind you, or behind you, is on a slow lap. We've got Sainz potential time lap five seconds behind.

Sainz, 4 seconds time lap. 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second. Coming past, no other threats.

Okay, only loss to Nico is turn 16, where you were braking a little bit later than his and he was getting a better exit. I think maybe turn 1 wasn't your best turn 1, but it was still better than Nico's.

So, Albon likely will drop back towards you. He's right behind Verstappen. You've got Leclerc right behind you. Brake warm-up please, Kev. Brake warm-up.

Okay, you've got Nico three seconds behind you now. Also slow lap. All cars behind on slow laps.

Car behind is Bottas now.

He's just done a slow lap so he might be boxing, I'm not sure.

OK, and Joe behind should be slow lap, not sure what he's doing.

Okay, you need to make a gap then. Gasly's behind you. He's also slow lap, so just mode push, remember DRS. What the hell? Okay, let's just make a gap to all these guys in front who are dicking about.

Gip to go, gip to go.

OK, cap mode in. Boxing this lap. No threats behind.

CSL6 after turn 12, please. Still no threats behind.

Next car on the timeline is Zhou and he's 12 seconds behind.

Cleared to CSL, Ramonta, please.

Zhou is still 10 seconds behind time-lap.

Show six seconds.

Five seconds, Zhou.

3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second, coming past. Gasly, time lap, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds. OK, he's behind Bottas. 2 seconds behind you now. 1 second, coming past. No other threats.

OK, Kevin. Flowing, boxing this lap. No threats behind. Thanks, folks.

Thank you, Kevin. Stop me on the mark. Stand where you are, please.

And stop in position was good there, Kev.

Start reminder, please go to start reminder.

Just watch out, you might be close to Tsunoda at pit exit. He's two seconds behind. Tsunoda right with you. Mode push. No threats behind.

Oil pump button, when you can, please go. Oil pump button.

Kevin, if you are able to increase pace a bit, then that would be good.

Okay, do we have multi B12 position 1 when possible?

5-4-TIME LAPS.

Three more tight laps. Good pace.

Okay, we suggest reducing E-B a step just to try and help entry stability.

I also suggest using the front two to help with high speed understeer.

Two more time laps.

OK, Kevin, please use DRS on the last time lap you're about to start.

Suggesting P6 to help with entry stability.

Okay, that's the chequered flag, so mode slow and going to the grid.

OK, Kev, so it's going to be two burnouts and then a mode RS start from the left side of the grid, please.

Two burnouts left-hand side. Push to 13.

Boat hit, please, chef. Boat hit.

Box, kit, box, please confirm. Approach box.

Stopping on the marks for a tyre change and then P1, please.

100 long there, Kev.
