OK, now back to the clear gap.

That was great.

All right, copy. That was a little tight between me and Alex, but all good.

I have to be just close to Alex, he's on the brake as well.

Stay good out on that prep and manage line 23.4. If we leave Stroll behind mile open, I'll confirm the gap. 23.7, I'll let you know when it's closed.

So just watch out turn 5. Potentially debris on the outside. Magnussen, not sure what happened. Just stay on the inside. Magnussen slow in turn 7-8. Stroll 5 behind pushing.

Get a strong 5 pushy.

It's 12-5.

Stroll 4, pushing. Two cars to open ahead of you. Stroll 2 and 1, with you. Two cars to open. Remember the gap number 5 targeting on Alex.
