This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network. Thank you for listening to the Late Breaking F1 podcast. Make sure to check out new episodes every Wednesday and every Sunday. Welcome to the late breaking F1 podcast presented by Harry Ead, Sam Sage, and me, Ben Hocking, on this Sunday that is definitely a Sunday as we're recording this. And it's a special episode, Sam. It's a special episode because you've asked questions and as it so happens, we can answer them.

Imagine that. You ask questions. We're going to leave. Bye. You've had a great time, bye. Yeah, thanks for turning. You just read out the questions. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Keep going. You can add, it's interactive. You add your own answers. You answer the questions. After the midweek episode we just had, it's quite nice. You just bring it back down to some relaxed fun chit chat.

So yeah, no proper F1 chat, but there are some F1 related questions. So you never go. Yours might come up, listen out for it, and you might just get to know us a little bit better as well. All right, I'm right. How's it going? I thought there was a nice segue into it.

I just didn't want to ruin it. Well, yeah, we've absolutely done me dirty. Yeah. What's new, eh? Right. Q&A episode. As mentioned, there are questions. We'll have answers.

There's not too much to explain this. How many more times can we explain the process of the Q&A? We have a good variety. of questions as well. So some of them are going to be about us and the podcast and some of them are actual F1 topics. So you should have a good spread in there. Let's start with, I'm going to start with an F1 question. And it's from John. Which of the current F1 teams do you think will be the next one to leave the grid or change major sponsor, brackets, Audi doesn't count? It's a good thing. Audi doesn't count, given the news about steak today, sir.

What are you thinking? Yeah, I guess you're right. You can't really count out. You really go that's kind of a foregone conclusion. Great game for a band. If you go, you know. Foregone conclusion. Excellent.

Yeah. Alping for me immediately springs to mind. They are for an F1 shop shop. We know that they're selling bits off. We really call them a minding londering scheme in the last episode. I don't really know. It's still a joke. It's still a joke.

They don't really know where they're going with it. But if I had to not look at Alping, I think Haas might be the option here. And I don't mean them leaving. I mean, I think Toyota might become such a key player in that team that they might become Toyota Haas. And that might be more leg from a Toyota point of view than a Haas point of view.

I guess that's kind of a slight cop out because they're not technically leaving. But yeah, one of those two to me feels like something may change big time in the next couple of years. Have you seen the pictures of Ocon and Berman in their new, get in the new jackets today? Cool boys. Cool boys.

Speaking of Ocon, remember how little while ago I said that he was going to be in a film? Yeah. It's called honeymoon crashes. Why, what's he do? Is he the crasher? More like teammate crusher, am I right? Nice.

But yeah, on Netflix, coming in a couple of months, he's using a film. Does he play himself? I'm not his agent. I don't got any more details. Well, good job you, you know. He plays Flavio Prietori. Plains Pierre Gasly.

right so you're you're going alpine slash has Toyota huss yeah Harry yeah I'd go I think Alpina probably the the most likely contenders here they they don't give off a whiff of wanting to be an F one much longer I don't think um

has yeah a difficult one because that could be not them leaving but just being slowly brought up by Toyota a BAR Honda scenario is well I see that one going where they eventually just become the manufacturer team until they decide they don't do it anymore and we repeat 2008 again. History will continually repeat.

Just over and over again. So yeah, it has kind of, but, but yeah, I'll be sure the ones you're going to look at, look at the most here. The rest, I don't, I don't, you can't really see the rest changing or, or leaving any times. It was because so many of them were investing a lot. I mean, look at Aston Martin. for example,

it's surprised if they decided to pull out or change change names any time, given the investment there. The ownership might change, but I don't think Aston Martin will change from the grid. Exactly. So McLaren, obviously, McLaren and Ferrari,

even, you know, Williams, which is probably the team with a, one of the teams of the least amount of budget on the grid or certainly will become that, I guess, in 2026 when an Audi, when Sal will become Audi. I don't see them going anywhere any time soon.

So, yeah, it's probably Alpine. Sorry, Alpine. Yeah, I immediately thought of Alpine, which is never a good thing to do in any circumstance. Hasse were probably the second on my list, but again, not necessarily leaving, but some sort of combination of Hass and Toyota. Absolute wild card.

This isn't a prediction. What happens if Merck turn up in the new era and they're not very good again? I guess, The weird thing about Merk is, of course, they're only actually 30% owned by Mercedes. I think, obviously, owned by Ineos and by Toto Wolf himself.

So I guess if they could get another manufacturer to buy out that 30% then it's plausible. It feels messy, though. Yeah, I don't know. It just feels like Eddie Jordan's prediction that they'll leave F1 has to come true at some point, even if it is 20 years or so later than he predicted. One day,

he'll be right. Yeah, precisely. He's not wrong. Just not right yet. Right, thank you very much for your question. John, we'll move on to Allie. This one is somewhat F1-related question, but you'll soon see how it's not all that serious.

End of 2025 season comes down to a 20-way tie for a driver's championship. Firstly, yeah, I like that. The tiebreaker, it's going to be a dance-off. Oh, who throws down them mood? depends on which alcohol is involved because I feel like alongside and Russell as a duo

would, like it would be like dirty dancing between the two of them. So that's tricky. But I think if it was just pure right there on the grid, you had to throw something down, I think Hamilton probably takes it.

That man got rhythm, you know? Yeah. I think a bit less Hamilton. I'm just trying to think who else would randomly surprise. I'll tell you who won't win. Max for staffing is not moving a muscle to the beat.

Okay, how much? in championships for the lines, I'm not doing it. Just tap his foot would be. I'm not saying he's a foot tapper. Yeah. Very much.

Standing in the corner with a beer, high in a con, zero percent, tapping his foot. Tapping away. I'm having a great time, guys. I'm having the best time.

The meme, no one knows I'm a four-time we're champion. We all go. I know he's not a driver at the moment, but I feel like Colopinto would,

I'd risen all this people up, wouldn't it? He would literally walk onto the grid and they'd go leave. I'm out, I'm out. Sorry, mate. Alonzo, he would train the entire year for that moment. Oh, yeah, he would be in with a shot.

But apologies for mentioning Fernando Alonzo again. I know that's a... Oh, God. British bias. Oh, dear. Thanks for a British man. Lewis Hamilton might have been the consensus answer to your question there, Ali. Luke's question is up next.

We all know Miami needs to go. what American track would you choose to replace it? I mean, America's got some belters when it comes to circuits. We spoke about Road America in the midweek episode if cars were smaller because it would be tricky to get them around certain parts of that race track. Watkins Gleng is a phenomenal racetrack. Well, a Lagooner Seeker, I absolutely love it as well.

Wouldn't mind seeing a bit of Lagooner Saker on the grid. Ben, you're probably more of a... Can you imagine an F1 car going down the corks group? It would just break it. It wouldn't work. It would just fly. Surely. End up at turn one.

Indie road course. Do it again. Let's try it again. And as it is now, not as it was in the Nauties. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's got a better configuration now. I'd love Indie back. Imagine a F1 around a super speedway?

Michigan or something. Should we just do an oval? Should we just get an oval racing? Or Long Beach. Long Beach with those size cars. You see Monaco. Getting around the fountain. I'd like to say,

that is still the most bizarre feature of any race circuit, where you could crash into the fountain still. Yeah. Into the flower bed. It's moving on proper barricade. It's just a flower bed. Off you go. Into the flowers.

You might drown. It's a new challenge. Again, F1 cars would just go over the top of the fountain, I think. Yeah. I know we spoke about this on a Patreon episode not that long ago. I would throw Road Atlanta in there. Yeah, yeah, really solid. See, look, there's loads of great attracting America.

I'll be open to another couple to replace a few of the random street circuits we've got. Sure. there's so many great American circuits, they should actually start their own single-seater series. And they probably call it the World Championship when they won. I think they could call it Champka. Whoa. Yeah.

Great idea. Thank you. Has anyone got Sebastian Bordeaux's number? I've got Paul Tracy, so I'll call it. Oh, great, yeah, yeah. I've got a Sebastian Bordeaux's number. It's a French man who lives in Bordeaux called Sebastian. I'm sure he's great.

your race cars. Hey, with some of the drivers that ended up in champ car towards the end, a random person called Sebastian and Bordeaux would be that. Well, that I think answers your question, Luke. Which American track would you choose to replace it? Pretty much all

of them. Six or seven. Liam has asked, what's your favourite pod you've ever recorded? Oh, I don't know. Oh, my God. I don't know. We've done over five hundred of these now. Favorite ever pod.

Is it, is it, I guess you can't say beer breaking because that's technically not a pod because that, um, WWE slag slam.

Royal Rumble. Yeah. That was so good. Um, the, that's my God, forgot about that. The episode where, um,

Sam says Jean-Pier Jiboui. Oh, the first time. Yeah. Because that was in the days before producer Kirstie, but I used to edit it terribly. And I had to cut out about 30 seconds of laughter. And there was still about 30 seconds of laughter that was in the podcast.

So that in itself made us laugh. The time Sam tried to explain, oh God, tried to explain the rules of when you get gunged. Oh, God. And the worst thing has ever been said on any podcast ever. So we decided to put it on social, so it was out of there even more.

Yeah. You say we. You say we. I put that one out. Yeah. You're editing it. You put it out there and you sat next to it happening life.

These are just moments. Yeah. My favorite types of episodes to record are probably the race reviews. Yeah. Agreed. I don't know. It's just, it's just happened.

It feels natural. It's great. But also the LB Awards every year. Yeah. They're so good. It's either the race reviews or it's ones that we have. midweek where it just derails and it's carnage for like an hour. I go away from those giggling to myself at how ridiculous they are.

I also love the episode but doing in one week's time. Teammate Wars, that's another favourite of my. Pimp, my F1. Here we go. No, I don't know that one. Are you going to show up? We're actually going to be in person. Are you just not going to show?

Yeah, sight got your, I made you move it to the 23rd and then didn't turn out. I would almost applaud your Poo-Houser. I respect that, you know. Where are you? I'm in bed. I'm going to sweep. So, again, I'm not sure we've come to a consensus, Liam, but there's some of the favourite podcasts we've recorded and moments.

Tim's question is up next. Uncle. He didn't specify he was your uncle. So I'm going to say regular Tim. Regular Tim's question is, do you guys think the Brad Pitt F1 movie will be good or crap? I am going to have to go in there with a certain mindset otherwise I will be the very annoying individual that goes

and that's not right actually Can I just say I had high hopes after trailer one Which was released at Silverstone last year My hopes have somewhat gone downhill since trailer two Did you get enjoying Max Verstappen trying to ram Brad Pitt? Why is he such a menace? Leave Brad alone Max what are you doing Just through turn two, the first chicane and Monsa just like nudging it.

Then you remember who's producing it alongside Brad Pitt. It's Lewis Hamilton. Yeah. This is going to look like an absolute G out of this movie. I'm getting it back. Alonzo, poor Alonzo and Vastapin don't look terrible. I really don't want to be ages, but he's 60. What are we doing?

He's a very, very... 60 years old. It's what Alonso's aspiring to be. Yeah, exactly. So I've brackened it. I'll still be here. Brad Pitt had nearly finished school by the time Alonzo was born. That's how old he is.

Javier Bardem's in it. I think he's the team principal, maybe. He looks like the worst, sleaziest team principal ever known to Man. I don't know. It'll be a good laugh. It'll be a good laugh. Maybe we should go together to watch it. Shall we arrange to go together?

I fear that any normal person that's come to watch the F1 group, who sits next to us in the Singapore will have a torrid time. I mean, I had problems with Rush and lots of people, lots of people love Rush. I love Rush. I love Rush. I only get annoyed in it because it tries to pretend that like Brands Hatch is Monza. That, sure, totally get that.

But I had that issue with Grand Trismo, where they tried to tell you that Silverstone was actually the Hungara Ring. And I know in this one, I'm so intrigued, how is Daytona in this plot? Yeah, I've seen the shot. well and I know they definitely filmed the Daytona 524 last year so it's in it I mean there can be other motorsport stories right you know maybe sponsors there or something or there's a driver doing a I don't know but I won't know how they've woven that one in there

why is that maybe he goes to Daytona for some practice on the turns on the turns got to get fast can I just there's also a bit from the so this is this is going to be it now there's a bit in the trailer where one of them one of the apex GP cars is spinning in the, you know before the two final corners at the Hungara ring that like pretty slow right-handed and he's inexplicably spinning off in the driver. How often do you see a cargo fly? Never. That never happens.

What are you doing? All the corners have spin out around the hungara ring. Yeah, Max just happened crash on a formation lap in that corner. Yeah, in the wet. Oh, yeah. Okay, fine. Sure. Yeah.

Anyway, this is going to be me the entire time. No. No. Go back to the old people's home, Brad. Thank you, Sonny Hayes. Also, while you game your F1 team after part of a racetrack, Apex GP, that's like calling yourself pit stop GP or straight-line GP. It's a stupid game.

Tire GP. I am tired of GP. That's what Max says. Or at Qatar, GP. Maxly the end of the season. I'm tired, GP. I'm tired, GP. Great F-1 game, guys.

Okay. So we're all very optimistic. Kind of, it's the answer to that. I enjoy it in some kind of way. The next question is from the Dect One. I've always wondered why it is when Sam sings the intro to back and forth, he is offbeat. Was that intentional? Yes, it's a creative decision.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. Well, let's just have a listen, shall we? Let's go through it again, folks. I'm going to sing now. F1. Oh yes. Back and forth. It's F1.

Back and forth, it goes backwards. Then goes forth. It's F1. Back and forth. F1. You know the advert, you've gone nose blind where you can't smell the flower smelling your home anymore. So like, you know, that I'm so, I've heard that song so many times now that I can't work out if I'm actually offbeat.

I know I am. Yeah, but this is probably the rare out of the jingles that you have recorded. It's probably the rare ones where I think you'd sung it to the beat. I did. As in we had the music on a different recording program at the time. No name's mentioned, Zencaster. And you sung it on top of it. So creative choice, I had to go with that one.

The worst part is, though, we did do it over a call like this. We didn't do it the same room. That's why it sounds like it's being recorded in a tin can. Well, yeah, and probably why it's offbeat because I'm trying to hear it through a delay over the internet, and I'm trying to sing to a delay. It doesn't really work. Would you change it?

No. No. The next is losing it. It's on beat. Absolutely. It's better than... Now, this one was not recording together. I put this in after.

F1 higher. F1 lower. It's sad faster. is Harry slower F1 higher F1 lower F1 God forbid that we got Liverpool TV

Yeah Sam just sung that And then I found some music to put underneath it And I was like well that sounds like it matches Yeah and you wouldn't believe that story I'll give a change it Oh dear Thank you very much for the question We'll take our first break at this point

after more questions and more answers we're welcome back everyone as promised the Q&A episode continues and our next question is from Johnny if you were in charge at Netflix and you got the F1 contract

who would you want your broadcast team to be us don't move on I would get Jake Humphrey Eddie Jordan and David Cuthard it's a high performance hey we had a high performance Christmas party

so I don't know what you're talking about we haven't said that on the podcast surely that's so weird we went bowling for our Christmas party we sat down for some food after us and who was there sat at the table across some us with his Christmas party it's a high performance Christmas party

because Jake Humphrey was there Capital H and capital P I love you know HP stores Who do I want is my broadcasting? I won Alex Jakes Playcom Yep I'd have Martin Brundall is my co-com

Yep I'm not sure who I'll have leading the actual show yet So Can I shout out another co-com Yeah The mayor of Hinchtown He's a great all-round host Yeah I just think he's excellent as a co

he's good at the F1. It's good at the F1. It's good at F1, co-commentry as well. I like the hinge. Yeah. My team would be Ben Edwards on leadcom.

Oh, yeah. He just doesn't want to do it though, does he? I love Ben Edwards, but I do feel like he now just gets brought out of retirement when Alex Jakes isn't available. Yeah, he's not interested anymore. I can't do that to him. But Ben Edwards peak Ben Edwards, yes, boom.

Amazing. Otherwise, I'd summon the AI voice of Murray Walker. That would be so weird. Oh, God. Shout out of Jolian Palmer. Yeah, I think he's technical. I have him on the skypad, our version. The LB pad.

The LB pad. Like, if we shaped like a lily pad, though. The Lb pad. Green. Come on. Anyway, Karin Chandok, friend of the podcast. He could be in there. Big up, Karin.

Davison, I always rate his punditry. I agree. John Watson? Obviously. Steve Ryder? Big up, Steve, right? Come on. Mark Londell. Get him in there?

I've met him. Yeah, I know. So our broadcast team is like 15 people. That's what Sky's he. Skyder is. Yeah, well, we're getting less and less as the days go on. Who would be your pit lane reporter? Oh, it's only one. I'm sorry. Sorry, I'm keeping Ted.

I'm never letting Ted leave. You'll have a lovely time because Crofty won't be on our team and they hate each other. I'd just bite each other. I'd actually have Coronas in the pace. Corrinas pretty good. I do feel like Ted gets slightly more. If you listen to Ted from the early days in ITV or BBC versus Ted now, Ted is like an over-exaggerated version of himself.

He got way less time back then on the mic. It was kind of like one line, cut him off immediate. Like, thanks, Ted. It was like, right, we've got more stuff to talk about. Now Ted gets war and peace sometimes. Yeah, Ted Tolstoy, as he's very well known. Should we move on to the next question? Lewis or Louis, apologies.

I'm not sure if the S is silent in your name. Probably 16th. I don't think it's Louis the 16th. Which Middle Eastern nation has reinvested? I seem to have forgotten. Any ideas? Qatar? No.

Bahrain Dubai Dubai Oh Doha We promised answers I think we can answer this one Sorry mate

I'm caught I don't have to be incorrect So I won't say anything I said Qatar And Sam said Doha I'm the capital Capital Said country

Just so I know that It's comedy England No What about London yeah so let us know in the comments if you've got the answer to that question you clearly don't um barry's asked what was it like recording your very first podcast what was it that made you think you should keep it up

is that really pretty quick bass mate oh we did our first podcast when we weren't really doing podcast and it was part of something else we did 25 minutes long as well right yeah we We used to do videos on a website called Drive Tribe, which no longer exists. It exists in social media world. Yeah. Richard Hammond is very much on it. But we did about six episodes. Didn't know what we were doing.

We're like, well, that wasn't very good. And then stopped for about a year and a half. And then came back about mid-2019, I think. Which was the under 2019? Right before the pandemic. Yeah. But then when we came back, we decided to start doing actual podings. not just like the audio from a video.

Sure what. It was a real punk now, I think about it, because podcasts were never really discussed by us as a, that's a direction. We did a lot of starting things and then stopping things. Well, yeah. We did blog articles. We did live streams.

We did videos. We took a while until we got to podcasting. Yeah. And I mean, you look at our statistics for the first year. How many 2019, Sam? Go on. 561 downloads. And we've got 570 now in one year.

Well, we're now sitting just shy of 7 million lifetime downloads in the space of it. In terms of proper years of doing it. One, two, three, four, six proper years of doing this now. You know, three million last year alone. It's a bit weird to think that we were awful at this. It's a bit better than 2019, to be fair. It's a tad better. Yeah.

Yeah, so I guess the answer to the question about the first podcast is it wasn't one. We can be confused. We didn't really like it and we left. If you want to go back and listen to it, don't. But actually, it might be a good thing for you to do because that makes it, you realize how far different we are now from there. Not different at all. The audio quality is a lot, a lot worse.

Also, Sam, you introed it. I did. That is a weird thing. That in itself is a weird thing to listen to. Yeah, I mean, I'll only pick up when Ben's gone now. I'm like in semi-retirement. I'm like Ben Edwards. You're exactly, Ben Edwards.

Very similar, I think. Wait, does that make me crofty? Yes. Yes, it does. Harry is Ted. Harry is Johnny Herbert. And he leaves. All right.

Next question comes in from Michael. thoughts about the rumors of a Chicago or New York City Grand Prix. In theory. On both fronts for a while. Yeah. In theory, I think it's a cool idea. Like it would be super cool to have a racing somewhere like New York, much like Vegas

is where it had to be pretty cool. But we don't need it. I don't really want it. There's so many other great tracks I'd rather go to, even in America, before we were to actually go to New York. So it's the same as like a London Grand Prix. Like, in theory, on paper, a cool idea. Don't need it. Don't do it.

I would never work. A London GP, we just wouldn't work. Just around the Excel Centre, wouldn't it? Yeah. Nah. I'm... No, I don't want that. It's too many street circuits.

Don't want it more. Yeah, ban it. Ban them. I guess the other way to frame that question is not just what we think about it, if it were to happen, but the chance of it actually happening, full stop. Oh, are you ever saying ever?

But there's a lot of countries with a lot of money trying to big for a race at the moment. And as much as New York obviously does pretty well for itself or Chicago. I feel like some nations will go out big to New York for a spot first. I can't see replacing any of the American tracks that we have at the moment. Miami, I would let it replace Miami. But Miami's locked in for a long time. Unlock it.

Get the key. Oh, all right. That's fine, yeah. I didn't think of that. Yeah. I found the key, guys. Don't worry. Oh, thank God.

Say it free. Be free, Miami. That's the answer. Yeah. Oh, dear. Next question is from Virgil. What is Yarl's favourite non-F1 motorsport series? Who is your favourite team slash driver in that series?

Ooh. I mean, Ben, feel free to kick off. I know that you're obviously big indie. Colton Hurt fan boy, on I? Yeah. I do love Colton. It just loves to be hurt by Colton Hurt. Every goddamn week.

whole position by lap three, D&F. Sweepstake, what's going to go wrong this week? Colting hurts on my heart. Yeah, he will not stop hurting me. Not anymore, and maybe I'll try again this year because it's no longer behind a payable, although we've already had race two. And I've not watched anything, but Formula E.

I used to enjoy watching a bit of that back in the day, mainly because it's for comedic value. Indy car is probably the main one. that I would tune into. I don't particularly have a favorite team. I do like Scott E.D. I love Scott Dixon, mainly because IndyCar can be chaos,

and then Scott Dixon wins. And that's how IndyCar works. He always makes his way of the front. But by doing nothing, just sort of not pitting much, staying out of trouble. Sometimes he gets into trouble, and it's still like there at the end.

Just Scott Dixon things. But I don't really have a massive favourite. I enjoy IndyCar because it's funny. You get some great racing, let it be known, some great racing, but also sometimes can be really funny. Yeah. I think Willpower is hilarious. He's the angriest man in the world.

And how he has this friendship with Flav of Flav. Why? A fair play, but why? Why not? Why? I'd like to be friends with Flav of Flav. He is a fan of the podcast. Hello, Flav.

Would you like to play some FIFA-19, Flav? It's his favourite game. Famously. Little no fact. Woody's got the next question. Is there snaking his boot? Who's our favorite? The question is, why is there a snake in my boot?

It's a valid question this one. Why do you fellas not predict differently in bold predictions to poll one, two, three, to increase your chances of success? It's the love of the game, mate. It'd be rude to do so. It just means that when we are right, we're super right. I don't like that method. Yeah, but I might try that.

Harrod's like got to win somehow. Got to win. Hey, I did win one of those last year, right? You won the bold predictions? Yeah. You did. Oh yeah, I did. I think you got five.

Yeah. Oh, Lord, Terry. I am terrible at pole one, two, three. Yeah, because you just predict Holcomburg to finish that. One day, folks. I'm pretty sure there was one the other, not the other day, like, end of 20203, where you were like, Magnuson and Snowda were both on the podium or something. I'm here for that.

I distinctly remember them not being on the podium. I just remember once again being wrong. Yeah. That's a good question. we just we do it for the love of the game it's the morality of it you know yeah yeah I ain't go cheap I'm gonna get raised go cheap it's literally not

cheating but literally no rules it's just it's an all in or fold approach it's like if we're gonna be right we'll be right across two things and then we feel really good about ourselves and that just feels great for all the other times where we get both wrong so yeah

and that is usually 22 to 23 out of 24 times but the one we get it right it feels great Damn right. Let's take our second break on this episode. On the other side, we've got some more questions and some more answers. We're saying.

But in Moth code. It's not Mawth Code, don't you know. Don't tune off. Welcome back, everyone. A serious question, unbelievably. And it's come in from our good friend, Mike. How do you deal with negative comments online? the internet can be a dark nasty place.

Are you able to brush it off or does it eat at you? Before we're getting anywhere, Harry, a little story about recently? Look, I think as a as a trio, as a four, producer Kirsty included, she's not here whilst we record this, but she's including this. We do very well to just ignore negative comments. And there was an incident recently where someone commented on a video of ours and I'd had some beers

not in the video whilst reading this I'd had some beers and the comment irked me somewhat it ruffled my feathers you might say Harry was a ruffled feathers he's not good yeah and I may have commented reply back to their comment

saying to this person that they need to grow up now in hindsight this was childish in hindsight like, yeah, I'm glad I did it. But I got a good laugh. But they need to grow up. I was reading through the comments and I saw your response to that.

I was like, no, you haven't. We've had some crap, to be fair, sent our way. We've been personally insulted. We've had really odd insults where we've had one side of the argument and the other side of the argument insulting us on the same episode about things that have come up. So that means we're definitely down the middle. Yeah, I guess I'm sorry.

the only thing we do take from it is that we get often people are annoyed at us from both angles, which means we probably are okay. I'm biased. We're relatively down. The British bias thing, I know we take the Mickey out of it, but it gets a bit boring when we actually hear people seriously say that we have British bias. We definitely don't. We don't think we do.

We really don't. Unless it's like James, because I'm, well. That's a legend. That's not a British bias. Yeah, exactly. That's biased. Yeah, no, you have to just get on with it. I think we're lucky that we're a team.

I think if one of us, all of this solo, the whole of the show is solo, I think it would be much more difficult. Can I say actually the person who gets the most annoyed is producer Kirsty? Just to say any of this. Yeah, and she gets furious about it,

whereas we're like, mainly we're like, well, well, yeah, that's annoying. She's like, I want to comment back. I want to, I want to get them. And we're like, it's fine. Don't worry. It's fine. We got like 500,000 views.

or TikTok that we did or whatever it was. And there was like three negative comments. We're like over half a million people have seen this and there are three negative comments. I think it would be okay. I've got no problem with negative comments about our opinions at all. Like I don't have any issue with it. What really rattles me is when someone disagrees with something you haven't said.

It's like I really hate that you said, I didn't say that. I didn't make that point. This is what irks me and caused me. my response because someone said we were being British bias. And in the clip, we were not being biased about British people at all. We're just saying about how Lewis Hamilton was at Ferrari. It was fact. There was no opinion there.

Oh, dear. It's also probably quite a good thing that it's not like we had no listeners and then overnight had as many as we do now. And I just feel like the number of negative comments that we've had, it's in, I don't know, Not a gradual increase, but you get used to it rather than having to deal with it all suddenly after never having to deal with it before that. It has proven by the stats we referenced earlier, we were not an overnight success.

Exactly. It was a long night. A long, long, long night. The long night. We're like our group biography. I can't wait to write that. Okay, thank you as well, Mike, because that was a very good question.

Love you, Mike. Michael is up next. Oh, for God's sake. Scott, I hope. Didn't confirm one way or the other. Than it is. When will we see a female driver on the F1 grid? We'll have a woman on the grid, I think, by 2040.

I was going to go earlier. I was going to say 2034. It's very exact. I thought five, but I would give it. you know, eight years from now. It's really tough to know because anyone, regardless of gender, who is maybe in line for an F1 opportunity in, say, six years time, hasn't started racing,

hasn't been promoted from karting yet. It's so difficult to know until you start seeing like F4 and F3 results, at which point it's going to be like two or three years, until you get that opportunity in F1. So the next superstar, regardless of, you know, whether it's a man or a woman, you don't really know about them until a couple of years before they'll be in the sport anyway.

That's why I said 2040. I think with the grassroots investment that's going on into women's racing, I think that's going to take time to kicking and find the talent and getting it involved properly. And by that point, you know, 10 years' time will start to hopefully see some really talented young women coming through the Formula Europe series.

maybe into Formula 3, you know, FI Academy might have branched out and given more. And then we might start to actually go, right, we've got four or five women in F2, five or six in Formula 3. It's actually a chance that one of these women will get into F1. And hopefully that investment and promotion will become far more evident and normal by 2040. I do think a team will jump at the opportunity when there is a viable opportunity in front of them, because it will be a great marketing opportunity. right, for whoever decides to hire.

Because it's been a long, long time, obviously. You have to go back 50 years this year, I believe, or maybe 49 years since Leila Lombardi last scored half a point at the Spanish Grand Prix the last time a woman scored at a Formula One race. So it will be an opportunity for a team, and it's just going to be who's going to come along to take that chance. I don't think there's a woman we know about right now in the race. racing world that we'll get there.

Don't think Dorian Ping has got it. No. Hang on that bombshell. That's what's the next question? So 2040, 2035, or something else, that's our very exact answer to your question. I'd love it to be much sooner for everyone that is in Creskes. Oh, 100%.

Norm has the next question. You know from Texas. You have an unlimited budget for music, and you get to do the opening montage, recapping what happens. in the 2024 season, what song are you choosing to go over that montage?

My Chemical Romance, Black Parade. I was literally about to say something. When I was. I buy ITV. Yeah. Full song, no cuts. We haven't heard it for so long I'd go for the chain.

Oh, yeah. I miss that as a bit. I love the F-1 intro, but I would love a one-time throwback to the chain. The thing is you could still, because the chain was the TV program and then you have the F1 intro.

We can have both. Let's live in this world where we have both, please. I would love that world. Yeah. I don't know. There's too many great songs in my life. Butterflies and Hurricanes from the Muse from the 2003 F1 game, right?

That was, that's sensational. That builds. It's got great tension. Yeah. I'd also consider like the full version of the F1 theme because we don't hear the, I don't think we hear the best.

parts of the F1 theme. Why are we not still with the 2018 version of the F1 theme? Why must be persist with the worst version? But they did like, before it was the theme that the intro that kicked off all the races, when they announced it

they did a video that was like the whole thing with some of the best F1 drivers of all time as the backdrop and it was sensational. Yeah. F1 to music is is unreal.

It's very emotive. Yeah. Poignant. Thank you very much for the question, Norm. Yuki Biscuits from Canada. What a great name. Great name. Best name so far.

Do you have a favourite episode of The Office and the Simpsons? Oh. This could be a whole episode of itself if we go through this. I mean, the Office is very hard not to say the dinner party. I can't mind. It's just that It's going to fall right back in the wall You know

It's Oh I've watched the bloopers From that episode Literally yesterday And that is gold on its home The other My other contender That is probably my favorite

But the other contender for me From the office is I can't remember what's cool now Is it like fire safety or something But it has in it It has the fire drill at the start Yeah Stanley having a heart attack

Yeah Where Michael St. Barak is present don't die Stanley trying to put his wallet in his mouth for no reason don't choke of your own turn and then in it again in that they also have to do the

the CPR bit where they say it's a mouse Hello clowns We really have Minister Harvest The point failed So that I think as an overall episode Dinner Party is perfect but that one I'll shout out

because it has two of my favourite sort of scenes in it within one episode. My internet went down a couple of days ago and I only had normal TV Oh you povo

Yeah, only the normal Shagletting satellite threat level midnight was playing and threat level midnight is the darks where you jump to the left and you shake that hand you jump to the right

and shake that hand you'll make new friends you tie some yarn and that's how you do the skung. Clean up in aisle 5. Every other line. I could do the office forever. But we can go to The Simpsons if we want. I don't think I've got a favourite episode of The Simpsons.

I have a lot of skits. Just anything with Ralph Wiggum in it. It's homer for me. Like when he realised there's a free trampoline down the road. Drop hampelaine! Get a bimplein! He just can't say the word crampoline for about a minute. It's so funny.

I don't know what the episode is, but one of the scenes that always makes me die is, for some reason, Homer and Bart are going into, like, the post office and they're pretending, he's pretending to be Mr. Burns. And he goes, hello, I'm Mr. Burr. Yeah, that's it.

I'm Mr. Burns. What, okay, what's your first name? I don't know. And it cuts them on that outside of the steps. He goes, great plan, Bart. The other one for me is where Homer's trying a building outdoor barbecue and he trips and he drops

it all into the cement and he picks it up and he goes English, the directions covering cement must use French and they grill. What the heck is that? But at the end it's him honning up the box.

Oh, beautiful barbecue. What is mine of that? Also when Mr. Berg's is the weird alien guy I bring you love He's like You bring this love Break his legs

Now I could go on again Oh goodness me Goer up on that Buurns Bo Boerrins You're saying boo I was saying booerns There's another one where

Marging at home We're walking past a restaurant Like the hard rock When he was at the car Going halfway through the wall And at home was like Oh look They put a real Chevrolet through the wall

And they walk off And then My man Pokes us hang out the window Help me. Not an episode, by the way, but the movie is very quotable. Yes, so good.

Great film. Great film. So there's all of the Simpsons and Office moments and episodes for you. A much more serious question coming up from E. Boy, Yanson. What is gardening leave? Bonus question.

How do I get some? My garden needs work. It's not a serious question, my guy. Well, I mean, the first part of it is That's true. Gardening leave is when you are leaving a company for a rival. Something in the same industry. Yeah.

And you have to have to have a period where you're not working for either of them, so you're not taking over industry secrets. It's actually so. Info's out of date, basically, by the time you get to the new company. I suspect there's not an actual lot of gardening involved in gardening leave. You don't know that. For some, they might. Maybe.

It's not in the contract as far as I'm aware. You must be in the garden. At least three hours a day of gardening. They come around to inspect your flower beds. It also works as well. I mean, the example you've given is someone going from team to team, but it's happened in the past as well where someone's gone from, say, the FIA to a team. Oh, yes.

So Lauren Meckies is an example of that, the current team principal at RB. He was at Ferrari before that, but he was at the FIA. before that. So before he could go to Ferrari, he had to take some gardening leave because, oh boy, that kid opened up a can of worms. So basically, when we say

they're on gardening leave, it means they're having to wait between jobs, they don't share secrets. They're not in the garden. No, we think. It might be. Let us know if they're in the garden.

Another great answer from us. Indeed. We're going to take our final break on this episode. On the other side, we've got some questions, but crucially, we've also got some answers.

Come back everyone to the final part of today's episode. We've still got some questions to run through. We'll see how many we can do before the end of the show. Let's go to Bungers. Wee. Would you rather fight 20 yuki-sized Shaquillo-Neils or one shack-sized Yuki? One shack-sized UK-sized UK-sized.

Imagine the carnage with 20 yuki-sized... Shikiloh-Ni-foot-3. You want to bat them away. I know the objective is to fight them, but I really want to see 20 Shag-sized Yuki-Syat-sized Shikile O'Neill's. I really want to see it. Yuki-Sung-a over seven foot would be terrifying.

It would be terrifying. That would really scare me. Yeah. I don't want either of these options. I'm also really confident that in the history of all media ever, that question or anything close to that question has never been asked.

Thank you, Bung, is an excellent question. Next question is from Klaus. If Netflix or Apple became world broadcaster for F1, do you feel there would be a shift to have more US teams or drivers? Well, Liberty are US-owned, and that hasn't particularly changed. It's been a real struggle, actually. Yeah, actually, we've really, there's a lot of court stuff going on, actually. It's a big old journey.

No, I don't think it would spur these independent countries to go out and spend billions of dollars to enter F1 just because an apple, for example, started only all the rights. One apple. Not the fruit. Tim Cook. It's cooking an apple. No, I don't think so.

I don't think so. No, I don't either. I think there's enough influence with enough of, with Netflix and Liberty already. And as we said, it's been... It's been a journey so far to get one on the grid, one more. Mainly because the FIA and Liberty can't agree anything. And F1, hey, Michael Andretti for reasons we're still unsure about. Next question.

Why do they hate Michael Greta? I love how the leading theory at the moment of why teams don't like Andretti is just, is his personality? Like, there's no reason. Just don't like him. Just don't like him. He's not coming in half sport. We don't like him.

I'm not sure that works like that. Next question is from Harjot. Apologies, if I've mispronounced that. How many races into the season before we can fairly start judging if Lewis Hamilton has still got it or not? For me, eight or nine before we go right, we've had a good mix of tracks and conditions. Some of his talent probably should have started to settle.

Yeah, I'm going by no later than Silverstone as the absolute, So this isn't working. Yeah, I'd give them until summer break. I think that's probably halfway point. Yeah, it's a difficult one to answer because it's not just like two possible solutions of he's the goat and he's terrible. Like there are plenty of points in between he could be at.

So if he still got it to what he used to have, then yeah, maybe eight to ten rates. you'll probably know. Just based on, I know this is something we've discussed in the past, that some of these rookies are up to speed very quickly and showing what they can do quite early on in their careers. Lewis Hamilton very much not a rookie at this point. So if it was taking him more than half a season,

then you would start to ask questions, I think. Next question is from Raff. And this one might be the most important question we've had so far. What day of the week is your favorite? Or... Saturday. I love a Saturday. Yeah.

Fridays are up there, but you still have to do some work. Saturdays, boom. Nothing. On Saturdays, you usually have qualifying. You do. Most weekends of the year, they will be qualifying on Saturday. Saturdays are the go.

Let's be honest. Let's be honest. Sunday you get the scariest, but it's also race day. And Father's Day. And Father's Day. Is it, though? What day? Father's Day Sunday.

I don't have a clue. I don't know. Can you imagine if your favourite day was Thursday. You're a freak. Yeah. Do you know I have a best year? Yeah, I bet it's Thursday. I'm freaky boy.

What's my favourite day of the week? I don't know. Maybe it's Thursday. Raise all your little driver daughters and driver's sons on that day as well, don't you? Treatment of passion, you freak. Well, passion. For footwork. Wow, we nearly managed to go the full out

without complaining about it. Next question is from Josh. How long does it take to record one episode? The exact time you hear it for. Yeah. Yeah. No cuts. No, wrong, unless we really says something bad,

i.e. something Sam said earlier on is not making it into the edit. But often, it's a sentence that doesn't make it. The rest of it is. It's usually what, like a two minute before the breaking where we are having some awful joke as a group and then we hit record. I was going to say the time before we start. Yeah, sitting down to do the record, there's about half an hour beforehand where we're just faffing about. Sometimes with some genuine points of order, mainly brought by Ben because he's the sensible one. And does this full time.

And we meet, I say we, Sam and I, we just make up nonsense. We are children. I guess it's like whenever you meet out with your best mates, you're just silly boys. Silly boys. But often, do you know what? I feel that the 20 minutes, even if it's 10 minutes before we actually hit recording,

just warms us up a bit. Get us just going on. We've had a long day. Got to get us in the mood. Yes, limbering up. Those comedy chords, you know. La la la la la la. You get those stretches in.

Has me laughing. Thanks for confirming. I'm really intrigued to hear both of your thoughts on this next question actually, which is from Jay Riz. Harry, what do you think of the Luca Donchitz trade? Ah, big news in the world of trading. Big news in the world of trading. I'm assuming he's a football player.

Basketball. well yeah that's I'm pleased for him Luca Luca Luca yeah Don Donne whatever he said he's the don he's the don't he's the don't Big Lucky Don he's played in five All-Star games and he doesn't look great in yellow though He doesn't look great in yellow

Oh he can't try for Jordan to Luca that would be too No no it's true him and the Lakers a Laker dog chick they actually call him I believe Luca Laker can't swim so that's a real tough one for him in the lake. In the lake of trading. Yeah. Harry, I have interest.

Do you think it will be good or bad for the Washington Wizards? That's not real. They're not real. That's a joke. That's a joke question. Washington Wizards. Do you think it'll be good or bad for them? I think it'll be excellent for the, for the, for the Wizards.

Magical. Magical. The Wizkids. You think it'll be magical for them. That's interesting. I mean, they're not involved in the trade. So why do you think that? Because they've just really, they're really,

they really like Luca. They're good friends, actually. All of the Washington Wizards and Luca, yeah. Yeah, yeah, they're busy mates, yeah. He's actually a wizard. He looks great, and a long beard. Luca Longbeard from the Lakers. Looker don't,

what are you thinking, Ben? Oh, what do I think? It will probably be a good move for the Lakers, I think. Well, that's what I said. Yeah, exactly. it's a massive trade one of the biggest in the NBA's history

I said big news in the world of trading so what have I said here that's not wrong weirdly I see it more from the basketball lens rather than the trading lens

but yeah Harry's got a business brain yeah I don't know what the mavericks are doing though they are a bit I'm all about them lakes yeah maverick

Maverick Sabers that's the one they're called I didn't think we get a Maverick Sabre reference Pick up Maverick Saber. Take up Maverick Sabre. Medium up, Mavic Saber. You take that back.

Leave Mavix Saber alone. Game three songs from Maverick Saber. I was sticking at my head to my name one. I don't know what that's called though. You can't then. I was trying to think of what, but I think I'm getting mixed up with MadCon. Begian. That's Begian.

All right. Next question is from Amy. what is the funniest memory the three of you shared together? There was an Uber involved. That could be it, to be fair. There was an Uber. Oh my God.

I don't think we can say that. I'm okay with saying it. It's a joke. It was bad timing. That's all it was. You need to stress that a few times before you finish the story. It was terrible timing.

You know what it's like to be with me in real life? This is the story. We were going to Uber with a lovely gentleman. I'd just say, on the way to live show. On the way to our first ever live show, okay? Already a bit nervous. Evidently. Evidently, yes, after the smell in the cupboard.

We were talking to this lovely man. I think he was a veteran. I think that's what we got from this. I think he had returned from service. So well done, sir. I hope you are proud of your service. And I don't have a conversation came up. We were going down Martin Luther.

Was it Martin Luther King Boulevard? Something like that. We're in Austin, in Austin, Texas. Towards our live show venue. And the Uber driver started talking about, obviously, the unfortunate assassination of Martin Luther King. Conversation ended.

We started talking about something else. I don't know what the second subject was. What, is that a camera? Anyway, somehow, Sam said, Oh no, no, sorry. There was a conversation before, and Sam was answering the conversation before. In the meantime, we'd started having this conversation

about Martin Luther King and the conversation... And Malcolm X, I think. Malcolm X, that's it, and about how they were assassinated. Sam answers the conversation before with the sentence had to be done though, didn't it? To the guy who's driving us about Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. He is a black gentleman. he was wonderful

He was the loveliest man The worst tired arcs arrived ever given But the The the shit The pause of silence Before the extreme laughter from everyone involved Including thankfully Uber driver

Thank God That might be the funniest moment As a team together Yeah that is up there Shout out as well to another Uber driver We had on that trip It was unsure Some of the things

I can't even explain this one. No. No, he just had many questions about what we had in the UK, like mobile phones. Do we have bridges? Chicken nuggets. Do we know what an iPhone is? We ordered the car using our iPhone. That was a good one.

Sonny. Any early ones? I can't. I mean, we laugh a lot. Sam and Ben turned up to my childhood house whilst I still live there and I was asleep in bed. Yep. We pre-agreed a time to meet. The funny baby was your lookout the wind.

You'll look at like, what? Who are you? Just me and beg to sit there in the car looking at his window. In my driveway. I throw a Kit-Kat out of Harry's window. Well, that's just early content. Yeah. Early LP content.

We have last at a lot. There's a lot there. Oh, dear. well we've got time for a couple more questions before we leave you beef oh here we go I know what this one is actually I've seen it

uh beef's question is what's the best services in the UK water it's a great service oh come on that's some gentle gentle gentle comedy man gentle

gentle really gentle favorite services have you ever been to the I don't know whether they're my favorite but they are certainly different. The Gloucester services. Yeah, that was my go-to-answer.

What, really? I mean, they're not like your standard services, are they? But I don't know whether actually I'd call them my favourite in that regard. They're a different. Favorite services? Big up, Columbins. What that means with M?

Colompton. Like, I can't remember what it's called. Big up Columbton. Big up Columbton. One that I always tend to stop at is Sedgmore, you know, on the way down. the M5. It's classic. Yeah.

Sedgmore on the way south is better than Sedgma on the way north. That's great to know actually. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of our answers are going to be M4 and 5,

aren't that? I'm trying to think any M1 services are stopped up. There's that, I think Lester where the services are above the motorway, which is quite a weird one.

That's on the M1. Yeah, it's like, all the shops and stuff are like above. It's very strange. You sit and have a burger whilst you look at the motorway go underneath you. That's weird.

And also, why bother with that extra effort? Why have you made it so tricky for yourselves? Yeah, I don't get that either. I don't know. Beef, let us know what your favourite services are as well. I feel like we're going to get a lot of northern bias, you know? Well, we've said big up Columpton and Sedgmore. Big up Columpton.

What about Cornwall services? You know what? It's on the rise. It's on the app. It's got a lot of lot going for it. Yeah, a lot going for it, Cornwall services. The only service station in Cornwall.

Is he got a Taco Bell then? It does. It's got all sorts. Pasty's Taco Bell. It's an outdoor explorer. Rose and Taco Bell. The Great War of Coral Services. I'm fairly sure.

I'm sorry this isn't on your list, Ben, but I'm fairly sure someone asked us what our favorite place to get a pasty was. That didn't make my list. They were referencing Malcolm Barnacus and everything But anyway, it's very Cornish Well, Malcolm Barnacus is the one So end the conversation

Conversation My mum disagrees with me apparently She commented She replied to that comment What did your mum say? What? I think she said that Niles was top Niles is a good shout

I'm not like a Niles But Malka Barnacca is top tier Rocky Bees I should have a Niles close to her now I say NAL just been there for like five years Isn't it? Literally they go there every Sunday I've got a list here

of the best Ranked Sunday Best ranked services in the UK. Go and then hit us. Do you want you just hear the top five? Yeah.

All right. Ingot five. Stafford, South. It's a road chef. Inget four is Weatherby. It's a Moto. Inget three. Three is Ang and Day of Water.

I don't know why that is. No idea. That's a road chef. Inget two is Killington Lake. Also a road chef. But in at one, the only one that is rated 100 out of 100 or full satisfaction. It's a motor operated. and it's rugby.

Oh, rugby. That's not very far from where I am. It's not. I should go check it out. If there's 100 out of 100, voted by who? The people. The people have spoken.

The people have probably rugby. We surveyed just people in rugby. Columbton, which is an extra, is ranked 65th. Oh, that's sad. So close to crack in the top five. To be fair, what's funny is, the top five are satisfied from 99 to 100.

Colompson, which is 65, is satisfied 94. So it's not that far off the top, halfway down the list. Were the people surveyed enthusiasts of service station? They just love all of them. Yeah. The lowest rated service station in the UK, if you ever go go, is Hart's Head Moore East.

It's a welcome break, 84 satisfied. That's the worst. Pretty good. All right. Goodness, me. Yeah, we do. definitely dedicated the right amount of minutes for that question. Next up is Dennis.

Which one of you is the best driver? Me, move on. No. No. I don't know who the best is, but I know the best is not Sam. I am the best. I'm just not the safest. That then implies not the best.

What is you defined best as? I was going safest. Not afraid of dying when you're a passenger. Will we get there first? Yes. If not dead. Yes. I can't vote for Harry on this

Oh yeah I'm not I'm not the red light So it's Ben I can't remember if I've told this one on the podcast before It's definitely made a beer of breaking Maybe not podcast Yeah But the first time I got in a car with Harry

We were I presume leaving college And yeah Two minutes after we took off There was a zebra crossing and someone crossing the road. It wasn't, it was a traffic light crossing. Oh, yes. Yeah.

It was a red light. It was a red light. The one that you stop at, yes. Apart from Harry. Because this woman was crossing the road. Red light, Harry's probably, if I put money on it, he's probably going to stop it because, you know, that's what you do.

You usually do. Nope. And Arna was the most confused old lady ever seen him alive. Raging, I bet. She was fuming Fee-W up You'll he killed me

Big up you up And again That was two minutes Into my first experience I have not done it since I would have been really worried If you did that to my son Yeah

A final question From Camo I found these random five stars That I have no use for Do you know where I can use them Oh Oh Oh

I just go back Back of the brain box I ever think Oh folks If you've enjoyed The excellence That is this Answers

That come after questions Podcast And you want to give us A five star rating Then please do Or wherever you get your podcast It really helps us out And

And as we always say You can leave whatever message you like, just please leave some five-star reviews because it helps us a lot. It puts us above other podcasts in rankings. And we don't like other podcasts. No.

Boo. There you go. So please can you leave us five stars if you love the show? You can write, I don't like other podcasts, boo, five-star review. Maverick Sabre.

Hathouse, Mavreysaber. Hashtang Mavreysaber. but one have ex-hopal. Perfect. Thank you so much for all of those questions, and I hope at least some of the answers were satisfactory for you. We tried to get through as many as we could,

obviously, within the timeframe, if yours didn't make the cut, terribly sorry. But give it a go next time because I'm sure in a few months' time we'll come back to one of these Q&A episodes. Unbelievably, Sam, our next episode

is your most ragedy episode of the lot. Yes! I'm probably going to rage slightly less than Toddington, which has both Tollington South and Totterton's Oh my God, 1,5-19.

Throughout this whole time, Sam's been still looking at the best ranked service stations. I'm a full list here. Sam, before you get into the full flow of your outro, yes. We need to, and we're not already announced anything, but maybe remind the, not remind the people.

I'm pregnant. No, no, Sam's not pregnant. Tell the people about maybe an update to some of the content you might see in video form on your YouTube channels. If you've enjoyed watching this entire episode on YouTube, well, hard luck. That's not how we start.

We are making a change to the YouTube content. You know how I've gone on for 1,000 years about wanting to hit 10,000. K on YouTube since the Silverstone Grand Prix. We still haven't done it, so we're changing things. We might have to change our tactics slightly. And because of that, we're going to start posting segments of the show

onto YouTube. So they are more condensed. They appeal to maybe viewers of Formula One content that aren't part of the podcast, which we know that you are loyal, lovely listeners, and you clearly choose to mostly listen via this audio platform. So we're looking to grow our audience to the wider F1

community. And we do think that having a podcast is, what is this, an hour and 10 minutes long as one video, maybe got the most palatable introduction to us as a three. We're a lot. So we're going to be breaking it down into kind of the best segments, the best moments, that'll be going on to YouTube.

so sorry, you will have to. it's the cost of a cup of coffee for your entire month. It massively helps out the show enormously, more than anything YouTube does.
