So, driving straight out.

No threats behind.

That's Albon on the slow lap in front of you.

You've got Ocon seven seconds ahead of you on a slow lap.

Mode K2, please. Mode K2.

Spark 1, please. Spark 1.

So, Kev, there's a reminder that there's more headwind into turn 1, so more like P1.

So, Ricciardo on a slow lap. Eight seconds in front of you. No threats behind.

Mode push. You are good to go.

Charge on for a cool-down lap. Zhou starting a time lap 9 seconds behind.

Zhou has boxed. Ocon just done a time lap behind you, so no threats at the moment. Hamilton doing consistent running, 11 seconds behind.

So, we can either do a single or a double cool-down, or you could box for a front wing adjustment if you think you need it. Hamilton, five seconds time lap. Four seconds.

Three seconds, two seconds, one second coming past. Then Tsunoda time lap eight seconds behind.

Tsunoda 6 seconds, 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second. Coming past. Clear behind now.

So Perez on the time lap 12 seconds behind.

Perez, eight seconds.

Perez, 6 seconds, 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second, coming past. Then Ricciardo, 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds.

2 seconds. 1 second. Coming past. Zhou on an outlap behind. Then Bottas on sustained laps. Zhou on an outlap, 2 seconds. Bottas, 4 seconds. Time-lapse. Bottas, 3 seconds. Time-lapse. 2 seconds. 1 second. Coming past. Then Stroll, 4 seconds. Time-lap behind Zhou. Albon, 3 seconds. 2 seconds. 1 second. Coming past. Then Behrmann. Time-lapse, 3 seconds. 2 seconds. 1 second. Coming past. Then Albon, 3 seconds. 2 seconds. 1 second. Coming past. Then a big gap to Verstappen.

So you'll need to make a big gap. Lots of traffic ahead of us. Unless you either do double cooldown or box. It's up to you. Verstappen looks like he's going quickly. I think another, another cool, another cool. Copy that. Just watch out for Verstappen. It says he's on a slow lap but I'm not sure he is. And then there's Piastri three seconds behind. Definitely time lap. Piastri time lap. Alonso after Piastri is about to start a time lap.

Alonso five seconds behind, about to start a time lap.

Alonso starts the time lap. Three seconds. Two seconds. One second. Coming past. OK, bit of a breathing space now.

So we've got Norris on a time lap 14 seconds behind, I believe.

Norris, 11 seconds.

There's a big gap behind Norris, so no more threats after him. He's nine seconds behind now. Norris time lap nine seconds.

Norris, eight seconds time lap.

Norris, six seconds time lap. Big gap behind him.

A lot of traffic in front of you.

Norris, five seconds time lap.

Four seconds, Norris.

Duty to make a big gap in front of you.

Piastri also about to do a time-lap by the looks of it, so just slow push and just wait for my call.

Loaded. Boxing this lap. Ricciardo starting a time-lap. Four seconds behind. Alonso time-lap, sorry. Alonso time-lap. Three seconds. Two seconds. One second. Coming past. Clear behind.

And for reference, yeah, that was a good lap and you're currently P3. 29.48, sorry, yeah, and Verstappen fastest 28.89.

No threats behind.

OK, excellent lap. Just losing a little bit to Nico on the exits of 13 and 16. Because of fast entries, but if that's your favourite, then it does give you confidence. Apex and exit? Oh, what did he say? So you're just losing on the exit. You're just losing on the exit because of slightly late apex.

In 13 and 16.

But no, it was a good lap. You're currently four tenths quicker than Nico. Fuel corrected, so good job.

Spark 2, please, Kev. Spark 2. We're going to drive through the pitlane to do a start.

Alright, SPAC 2. Just for the start, Kev. Just for the start. Copy. Box, box.

Also, SOC 6 and multi-function AQR1, please.

Mode slow and two burnouts before a mode RS start from the end of the pitlane, please.

Track will be clear at pit exit.

Mode in, please. Mode in. And we'll have a CSL 6 after turn 12, please. And comment from Ed is he would suggest just concentrating on 13. He said 16 is fine. So it's only 13 that that comment really applies in the previous lap. So CSL 6. Copy.

Still no threats behind.

Still no threats behind us. Track is very quiet now.

Confirming boxing this lap. Box, box.

OK, Kevin. Stopping on the marks and P1, please.

Thank you. As expected, the stock car is leaving the pitlane.

Mode push. Good to go.

OK, Kev, so we're not going to have time to do another time lap. You're going to get 1.40 left.

Watch out for Behrmann pushing, he's seven seconds behind time lap.

Berman, five seconds. He's behind Bottas. Coming through.

Gasly time lap 4 seconds behind. 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 3 seconds still. 2 seconds, 1 second coming past.

And then Piastri, 5 seconds time lap behind Bottas. 4 seconds, 3 seconds.

Still two seconds. One second coming past. And then we've got Norris who's five seconds behind time lap. Four seconds.

3 seconds. Correction, still 3 seconds. 2 seconds. 1 second. Coming past. And then we've got Perez 8 seconds behind time-lap.

Still 20 seconds to the chequered flag. Perez is now five seconds behind time lap.

Perez, four seconds, three seconds, two seconds, one second coming past. No other threats at the moment.

Hong Kong eight seconds behind time lap.

Ocon still 7 seconds behind time lap.

Fuck, fuck, so stay out. Stay out, stay out, stay out. Taking a checkered flag. Checkered flag.

Okay, mode slow. We're going to do the lap to the grid.

If possible, a CSL 6 after turn 12 would be excellent.

So if you go to spark 2 and sock 6.

And also multifunction A, QR1, that would be great.

And then a CSL 6 after 12.

Sox 6, police care for Sox 6.

Okay Kev, so when you come up to the grid, I'd like two burnouts in mode slow, and then a mode RS start on the right-hand side of the grid, and as usual, pushing to turn 13 please.

So that's right side of the grid.

Two burnouts outside. Affirm.

Mode N, please. Mode N.

Box, get box, please get box.

Facts, facts.

OK, Kev, stopping on the marks for a tyre change and then P1, please.

Stopping position was good.
