Mode slow, please. Gap mode slow.
10:03:54
We don't know why that happened at the moment, Kevin.
10:04:43
OK Kev, it wasn't a technical issue, there was a security problem with those people where they shouldn't be at turn 1, so all sorted now.
10:05:53
Okay, so mode RS for the start, please.
10:06:07
Last car is on the grid.

10:33:37
Mode in, please, Kev, mode in. So you're P9. Frustratingly, but that's the way it goes in sprints. But no, that was really, couldn't have been done better, Kev, so well done, mate.
