Perfect. Perfect.

And that's it. Someone has towed a Neutron at Hultby. Radio's good. Radio's good.

For reference, the other car took another 0.4 out of car balance, so we're 0.2 less car balance than the other car now.

OK, Kev, if you could switch the limiter off, please.

OK, Kevin, all the cars around us are on soft tyres, apart from Zhou directly behind you, he's on medium. Ahead of Nico, who is on soft, everyone is on medium, apart from Alonso, who is on soft.

Limiter off, please, Kev.

Mode RS for the start. Last car is on the grid.

Stay out if there's a safety car. Stay out if there's a safety car. There will for sure be a safety car. Copy that.

Red flag. Red flag. Red flag. Red flag. Red flag. Red flag.

Okay, Kevin, so that means you're coming back into the pitlane. Back and lining up. Lane order and lining up. Mode slow, please. Mode slow. Mode slow, please. Mode slow. Okay, just seen the incident and yep. Understood.

When you come to a stop in the pitlane, you'll need to leave a 5 metre gap.

Copy.

Kevin, if you can still hear me, just for reference, obviously we've lost two cars, so you are P16 now.

For reference, Nico is P10.

There's obviously a fair amount of damage to the barrier, so feel free to jump out of the car.

And Kev, could you go to P0 after you go to P1, please?

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.

Gonna have some air.

Kev, could you turn the limiter off, please?

So, Kevin, it's confirmed it will be a standing start on the grid. You'll be in P16, which is on the right-hand side. Effectively one position ahead of where you started before.

Just a reminder that the lap to the grid is under the control of the lead car. He may slow more than you expect, so just be careful on the lap to the grid. I did not understand that, so try again when you get to the garage. Copy.

Hi Kev, hopefully you can hear me better now. So the lap to the grid is under the control of the lead car and that car may slow more than you'd expect during the lap, so just be careful when thinking about the Australia situation.

Copy.

So all cars can overtake the safety car.

B-Bal offset plus one.

OK, Kev, both Mercedes, Alpine and Sargeant are on hard tyres now.

Leader is approaching the grid now. Cars are slowing into the chicane. Cars are slowing into the chicane.

So, just a reminder, Stroll will be on the left side of the grid. You pull up on the right-hand side of the grid after him.

Mode RS for the start. Last car is on the grid.

Car behind is Zhou. Mode push, please. Mode push.

Sergio is on the soft. Gasly is on the hard. Gasly ahead of you on the hard.

DRS is enabled. Zhou 0.3 behind. Gasly 0.9 in front.

Giro 0.3 behind.

Show 0.2 behind with DRS.

Zhou 0.6 behind.

Zhou 0.6 with DRS. Suggest diff 22 to help stability.

Nico has boxed for hard.

You are currently P15.

Show 0.5 behind.

Show 0.5 with DRS.

Kev, obviously the cars ahead will try to do the race with just one more stop.

Zhou has boxed. Zhou has boxed. Car behind is Sargeant on hard tyres.

Nice job, Kev, nice job.

OK, Kev, as expected, a number of cars have boxed from softs onto hards. Tsunoda and Zhou.

You are P12 and that's Ocon on hard tyres, 1.6 seconds ahead of you.

Gasly 1.3 seconds behind, no DRS.

When you have time, Kev, how are the tyres?

They feel pretty consistent right now. Balance is good. Copy that.

I'm still managing quite a bit. Copy that. Sounds good to me. Gasly is still 1.7 seconds behind. We're very happy.

For info, Ocon's just done 40.3. Stroll ahead of him on soft has done 38.9.

Gasly 2.3 seconds behind. For reference, Nico 12 seconds behind on hard.

Car behind is Sargeant. Tyres feel much better than at P3. Copy.

Car behind is Sargeant. 2.3 seconds behind.

OK, Kev, if you have more pace in hand, then we do need to get past Ocon, because otherwise we're going to fall into the trap of the cars behind.

Norris' boxing will rejoin just in front of you. Ocon has car damage so his pace is slower than it should be.

For reference, Nico 9 seconds behind.

Super job, Kev. This is great. Keep at it.

So you are P9, Kev, P9.

Correction, you are P8. No, you are P9. You are P9.

I don't think plan B is out of the question. A-firm, that's what we're working to.

That's Alonso in front who just pitted from P5.

You have Piastri right behind you. He's just pitted two laps ago.

Ideal lap time 39.5. That's our ideal lap time on these tyres.

I think I can do a 40.0. Copy that.

That's still OK, Kev. We're being optimistic. Just do your best. It's looking good. Ocon 1.4 seconds behind.

I would be careful putting 4 front brakes into the hard.

Car behind is Sargeant on hard tyres. 2.2 seconds behind.

Maybe 0.2 more, but hard. Copy that.

And these tyres are still good. Affirm.

Excellent pace, Kev. Sargeant 1.7 behind.

OK, Kev, so Nico had significantly more understeer on C1 than C3, so we still think we should back him up more. Copy that, yeah.

OK, Sargeant, 4 tenths quicker at last lap, 1.3 seconds behind.

He's got Bottas pushing him hard.

Bottas is on five lap fresher hard tyres. That's Sargeant.

And just some advice, if you can look after the left-hand front a little bit better in turn 8, that would be great. But appreciate your position.

35 laps to go. Sargeant 1.2 behind.

The car behind is Bottas. He is quite a bit quicker than us. We are racing him though, but it's just the way it is.

Bottas currently 0.6 behind.

Bottas, 0.6 behind with DRS.

Bottas charging for a big push out of the chicane.

Bottas 0.7 with DRS. I don't think he's getting past me. Copy.

Bottas 0.6 with DRS.

Bottas 0.6 behind with DRS. ESC window open.

Bottas, 0.4 a bit closer. He's going to probably do it now. Copy.

Bottas is... Box! Box! Box! Box! Box! Box! Box! Box! Box! Box! Box! Box! Box! Box! Box! Box! Box!

Okay, for info, there was an error in the pitstop. Front wing was not adjusted. You might have to look at opening diff using 4EB.

Possibly coming rearwards on brake balance.

You are P13, you are P13.

Gap behind to Ocon, two seconds. Bottas probably about to pass him. Yeah, Bottas coming past. So car behind is Bottas.

How's the tech on the hot?

The deck is good, Kev. Deck is good. It's low. It's on target.

So you can push pretty hard. You can push pretty hard. Stroll 1.9 seconds ahead. Last lap 1.36.8.

Bottas 1.6 seconds behind. This is a straight race to the end.

For reference, the only car that will stop and come out behind you from this point is Nico. Nico is currently 15 seconds ahead.

Nico will come out about seven seconds behind you on fresh tyres.

For reference, Bottas 1.3 seconds behind his last lap, 36.6.

Doing a really brilliant job so far. Currently P13.

Your 1.9 seconds behind Stroll is being held up by Tsunoda. Bottas is 0.8 behind you.

26 laps to go.

Bottas point 9 with DRS.

Warning that charge is low, Kev.

Bottas, point 5 behind.

Bottas 0.5 DRS. Charges low.

Bottas 0.6 behind.

Sergeant is catching Bottas. It's going to cause him trouble fairly soon.

Nico has boxed and he's 19 seconds behind. Bottas 0.6 behind.

Bottas, point seven.

Oil up button when you can, please, Kevin.

Bottas, point 8.

0.8 Bottas.

Front tyre temperatures are getting on the low side. Half a percent forwards on brake bounce would help.

Bottas, point nine.

Point nine, Bottas. Is Sargent a threat?

Not at the moment.

First threat will be Stroll, who's on four lap softs.

Stroll is 8.5 seconds behind.

Stroll is 1.4 seconds a lap quicker. Bottas 0.6, 0.5 behind. He's having another push.

0.6, Bottas.

Bottas, 0.5.

Twelve laps to go at the end of this one.

It is only nine. It is only nine.

For reference, Stroll 3 seconds behind Bottas, Nico 2 seconds behind Stroll. 10 laps to go at the end of this one.

You're on your last timed lap.

Bottas, point six.

Bottas, point five.

Bottas, point five.

That's the chequered flag, Kev. That's the chequered flag. Well done. That was an absolutely fantastic drive. You finished P13, but did absolutely everything we could have asked of you, so that was absolutely fantastic, Kev.

Mode slow, please. Mode slow.

Go for lap? Yep.

For reference, Nico was able to pass Stroll to get P11, but unfortunately none of the top ten stopped this weekend, so we didn't quite get points. Anyway, very pleased with that. Well done.

When you come into the pitlane, usual story, coming to a halt, going to P1, after a pause P0. Verstappen won the race from Perez, Sainz 3rd, Leclerc 4th, Norris 5th, Alonso 6th, Russell 7th, Piastri 8th, Hamilton 9th, Tsunoda P10, but only 5.5 seconds in front of Nico.

Alright, nice job, mate. See you later.
