Radio check, Cap. Radio's good. Yeah, good for me too, thank you.

Just a suggestion from guys in the office that turn 3 looked quite unstable. And they'd recommend using the right-hand toggle to stabilise the car at turn 3. That's their suggestion. Gives you a bit more stability.

Right hand circle, yeah? Yep, that's right.

Kev, if you've turned the limiter on, can you turn it off please and wait until the engine has been started? Thank you.

OK Kev, so almost all the cars are on mediums. Stroll and Bottas are on used medium. Alonso and Zhou are on hard. And Hamilton and Ricciardo are on soft. Everyone else, new medium.

Copy that.

No transcript available

Apparently, it's just updated to show Zhou also on NUSATS now.

A reminder for limiter on, please, if you can hear me.

B-Bal offset plus one.

B-Bal offset plus one.

B-Bal offset plus one.

OK, Kev. Mode RS for the start.

Last car is off the grid.

Don't push, please, don't push.

Car behind is Ocon.

Albon just 0.3 behind with DRS.

Albon 0.5 behind with DRS.

Albon 0.6 behind.

Albon 0.6 behind.

Safety car window is open.

Watch for Verstappen. Oh no, that's it, he passed him. He's got some sort of problem.

Albon point six behind.

Take care. We are under-managing 5 and 6 at the moment. Just worried about the tyre day.

Yeah, got it. I just need to try to stay within DRS.

Albon 0.5 behind with DRS.

DSC window has opened. Ricciardo has boxed.

Gap to Bottas 1.2 at the moment.

Yeah, starting to struggle here. Copy that.

Albon has boxed.

Mode T4.

I think the tyre will come back.

Did you hear me, mate? Copy that, Kev. Obviously, you're in mode T4 at the moment, so that's an issue, potentially.

Box, Kev, Box, please confirm. Box.

We'll be close with Albon on pit exit.

Mode RS for the start, yeah? Mode RS.

So close with Albon at the exit.

He's two seconds behind you now. One and a half seconds. One second.

He's right on your tail now.

We need no issues with the car cap after that contact.

Bottas is going to box this lap. He will come out in front of you most likely.

Okay, so pause stop for Bottas. He'll be behind you.

Reset the bounce adjuster, Kev. Reset the bounce adjuster.

Park-off boxing will be close.

How is Nico's tyres? They're OK at the moment.

So, you think we can just push or...?

No transcript available

OK, Kev, we think you can stop any extra management, so just drive normally. Just normal driving. Copy.

The Williams is not fast. Not fast.

For reference, Nico's last push lap was a 23.8.

He reported some graining a few laps ago, but is still doing decent pace.

Front or rear? Front left.

Kevin, expect that Williams is managing the tyres. That's probably why the pace is what it is.

So at the moment Nico and Gasly are both inside your pitstop window. Last lap 24.8.

Gap to Ocon just under one second.

OK, no DRS now.

Ricciardo is 3.6 seconds behind, doing 22.9.

Nico has done 13 laps, 14 laps on his tyres now. He's reported that they are stabilising now. Lap time improving.

So, if Nico were to box now, he'd come out about eight seconds behind you.

Suggest EB9 to try to reduce understeer.

Gap to Ocon 1.1 seconds. Gap behind 2.9.

How are the tyres, Kev? Front left is taking a little step here. Copy that.

OK, one of the Mercedes has pulled off at turn 9.

Safety car window is closed.

Obviously, you saw our fox there.

BSC, BSC, BSC.

Mode slow, please. Careful. Mode slow. Staying out.

Copy. Where is the Mercedes? It's at the kink between 10 and 11. It's near the gap in the wall on the right-hand side, so in a safe place.

Be very close with Nico on pit exit. He's boxing under the VSC.

BSC ending.

Nico, behind you. Nico, behind you.

So, Nico, 3.2 seconds behind Gasly, also Boxman is also behind you, so you're currently P11.

All cars have completed their first stops.

Gap 12 on ahead 1.9, eco 3.5 behind.

Suggest going to P6 to help stability in turn 3 and 13. It won't have much effect anywhere else.

Gap behind 2.6 seconds to Nico.

Can we see instability into 3 and 13, which then causes understeer because you can't turn. Hence the suggestion.

Okay, we've had some close shaves with upshift at turn 4, so just be careful with that, please.

For reference, Albon ahead is one of the quicker cars. He's catching Tsunoda about 4 tenths of a lap.

That means you are also catching Tsunoda.

ECO 2.1 behind.

Albon gap stable at 1.8, gap to Tsunoda 5.7.

OK, Kev, are you able to increase pace?

Go. Copy.

We need not to slow Nico down. We should not slow Nico down. Yeah, I got it. Understood.

OK, let's get on it. Still everything to play for.

Ricciardo 3.7 seconds behind.

Gap behind to Ricciardo, 3.5 seconds. Gap 12 on 2.8.

You were two tenths quicker than Albon last lap.

OK, Kev. Suggest increasing E-B to reduce understeer. We're losing time at 6, 10 and 14 to Nico.

Yeah, but he's a new medium. Yeah, understood, but we just see that you've got understeer at those corners, hence the suggestion.

Yeah, but I don't agree. Just letting you know, gap to car behind 3.8 seconds.

Gap to Albon, 2.6.

Safety car window is open.

Gap to Ricciardo, 3.6.

You can see Albon has boxed. Ricciardo 3.8 seconds behind.

And the BSC window is open. Go.

So Nico now struggling with graining at those corners where he was quicker, he is now slower.

Albon's first lap on new hards was 22.8.

Yeah, the tyres are graining the hearts. Maybe they'll come back.

So, Albon's last lap, 22.9, just for reference.

Careful, how is the front wing?

Sign. Copy.

Nico's car is building a lot of understeer.

And Nico has 0.2 more car balance than we do. Yeah, the understeer is not building so much for me. Copy.

OT4, Kev, OT4.

We'll be very close with Ocon on exit.

Ocon has one more stop to do though.

Box, Kev, Box, please confirm. Box, Box, Box.

Box, box.

Mode RS for the restart, mode RS for the launch. Radio off, go.

Bottas coming past you. Bottas coming past you. Ocon two seconds behind Bottas.

Ocon one second behind.

Right push, right push.

Bottas is on 25 lap hards. Ocon behind him is on 17 lap hards.

Reset the bounce adjuster. Bottas 1.8 behind. 23 laps remaining.

Compared to the lap you're doing, you just need to be a little bit slower in the high speed corners. This is a little bit too much.

Nico has come out in front of Albon. Albon's 2.7 seconds ahead of you. It's important we manage the tyres and just gradually work our way up to him. His last lap was 23.1 before he was passed by Nico.

Albon, only 1.8 seconds in front of you. There are 21 laps to go.

No DRS at the moment, Kevin.

The red boat, race lead Sainz, is four and a half seconds behind you.

Sainz is doing 21.4, so he's going to catch us in about four laps.

Still no DRS.

You have DRS.

Sainz is 3.9 behind.

You have DRS. Sainz boxing.

That's Gasly ahead of Albon. He's going very slowly.

Gasly's tyres are destroyed apparently.

OK, get your P12 now. Your P12.

Fifteen laps to go, including this one.

Nice job, Kev, nice job. Nico, 3.6 seconds ahead of you in P10.

Need to go to SOC 8 to recharge Kev. Obviously watch out for DRS, for Albon behind.

Albon point 9 behind with DRS.

Outlawed point 8 with DRS.

Albon 1.1 behind.

For reference, Nico is 3.5 in front, he is only 1.8 behind Tsunoda doing 21.8. Tsunoda doing 21.8 in P9.

Twelve laps to go at the end of this one.

Albon does not have DRS. He's 1.2 seconds behind.

Gap to Nico, 3.6. Gap to Tsunoda, 5.6. Eleven laps to go.

You're pushing more into turn 9 and then losing time through 10 and exit compared to Nico.

OK, Kev, that was definitely better. Keep that up, that's good.

Unfortunately, Tsunoda found some places. Last lap was 21.2. Nico, 21.6. Yourself, 21.6.

You gained 3 tenths on Nico that lap, but unfortunately Tsunoda gained 0.1.

Oil pump button, please.

Last lap, Tsunoda 21.6, Nico 21.7, you 21.4.

Seven laps to go, including this one. Sorry, six laps to go, including this one. We are expected to be lapped by Sainz just at the end of the race.

Multi B9, position 10 for performance.

OK, Kevin. We're suggesting more EB to deal with the understeer you've got at the moment.

If EB9 is good, EB10 could also help.

Five more laps.

Tsunoda 21.6, Nico 21.8, you 21.7.

Four laps remaining. Are you okay?

Yeah, just lucked out. Sainz two and a half seconds behind.

Albon 3.6 seconds behind.

Sainz 1.2 seconds behind.

Blue flag for Sainz. Albon two seconds behind Sainz.

Albon 1.3 seconds behind.

You have DRS grip, Sainz.

Albon 1.5, two laps to go, including this one.

Car behind is Leclerc. Two seconds behind.

Sainz and Leclerc 1.6 seconds behind. We'd like SOC 1 out of turn 11 on this lap, please, Kevin.

Blue flag for Leclerc. Albon two seconds behind him.

There's a yellow flag at turn 6, 7. Russell has stopped, so you're currently looking at P10. VSC, VSC. Staying out.

In the middle of the track. Coming out of turn 6 between 7. So just be careful. Stay left. Stay left. Stay left. Stay left.

Just be ready for VSC, I think. I doubt it will, but just be ready. Er, it won't, mate. Not with that car like that. No, it's okay. Okay.

Is he moving? So you are P10, Kev, you are P10. I don't know, Kev, I don't know.

Russell is OK. Russell is OK.

Copy.

Watch out, Albon is really close behind you. I know it's not going to be a restart, but he is really close. Just be aware.

Double points, eh? Double points. That's right, that's right. Well done, mate. Fantastic job. Yeah, well done. Not bad, eh? Yeah, not bad at all.

Yeah, I think you did an excellent job there, Kev. Thank you very much. It's been a really enjoyable three races, really getting into a groove. Really feel good about that. Fantastic.

Yeah, a pity for us on our side of the garage with the VSC, but it helped the team, so I'm happy. Good teamwork again and double points, man. That's it, man. Let's go. Points meet prizes.

And Kev, everyone's just saying thanks very much for the swap. That was much appreciated.

Very, very slow. Very slow. Very slow. Very slow. Very slow. Very slow. Thank you. Medical car on track ahead of you, but Russell is OK. Russell is fine.

Just be aware of single medical car in front of you, that's all.

OK, Kev, Sainz won the race from Leclerc, Norris was third, Piastri fourth, Perez fifth, Alonso sixth, Stroll eighth, Tsunoda, sorry, Stroll seventh, Tsunoda eighth, Nico ninth, yourself tenth. Excellent work.

Yeah, copy that.

So, as usual, Kev, when you come to a stop, P2 to P1 and then a pause for P0.
