Okay. 0:7.612:47, GRO: And you're in particular where I can improve I'll come back to you, and Kevin is 9 seconds back on a push Kevin now 8 seconds back on a push, continuing this run is because we don't want to go on the C1 for very long on high fuel, for info Yeah, I'm with you brother Copy that, and Kevin now 6 seconds back on a push. 0:23.213:18, GRO: Why is my right toggle lights on we check in so you got Ricciardo and Perez close behind Okay, yeah, it's a Okay, it's gone. 0:12.813:25, GRO: Audio only.

Mate, mate, mate, mate, this is ridiculous, the guy f***ing pushed me off the track.

Understood, it was reported, I don't think they're going to do anything. Yeah well great, great, great, great. It's not your fault but I'm really pissed off because this is point for us because I'm sorry for the frustration guys but I give it so much I give it so much and we don't get anything back.
