First pushing behind is Verstappen, 18 behind, and there's still five cars ahead in back-off laps.

Okay, there's four cars in the last corner. You're 10 seconds behind those cars, so hopefully you'll be okay. Verstappen, 12 behind, finishing a push. And then Kevin, 20 behind. You should be okay to go, so just remember, charge off, reset big adjuster. Okay, behind and ahead.
