Formula Fanatics #2 - The Road to Reveals · BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Variety Show

0:02
Welcome to Formula Fanatics, the high octane subseries of break Fix podcasts,
0:06
drive through Motorsports News.
0:09
This is your pit stop or all things formula one from breaking
0:12
headlines and race recaps to insider analysis and paddock buzz.
0:16
Whether you are a diehard to foso, a Red Bull loyalist, or just love
0:20
the thrill of wheel to wheel racing.
0:21
We've got you covered with up to date F1 News delivered at full throttle.
0:25
Strap in because the lights are out and we're underway.
0:28
This is formula fanatics.
0:40
What's going on?
0:41
I love the hat.
0:42
It's like chain links, but also Audi, the, the whole get up.
0:46
Right.
0:46
Tanya was asking me, she's like, well, what's the DI said, I gotta play the part.
0:49
She's like, the part of what?
0:50
I said Audi and F1.
0:52
Is that the part?
0:52
Yeah.
0:52
Right.
0:52
I got, I play the part of the Disappointed fan, but I got the swag.
0:56
Now is the time, buy your swag low and sell it lower later because
1:01
it's gonna be worth anything.
1:02
Yeah.
1:03
So you buy your cyber truck deposit at a hundred dollars and
1:06
then you sell it later at $0.
1:09
It's like Matt used to always say the resale value of an Audi is written
1:13
right across the hood of the car.
1:15
Right.
1:15
It's all zeros.
1:17
All zeros.
1:19
Well, we'll, we'll get into that as we go along, even though you don't like the
1:22
title, but it's okay because our fans, I'm never gonna live that down, am I?
1:26
That's just No, you're not.
1:27
That's, that's, that's just.
1:28
You know what?
1:29
Fine.
1:29
Then I'm gonna double down.
1:30
Yeah.
1:30
The title sucks.
1:33
Welcome to the Formula One show where the title sucks, but the content is okay,
1:39
and that's just good enough.
1:42
Yes, that's the formula of mediocrity.
1:46
Drive, drive to the middle.
1:48
That's a medium base drive to exist.
1:53
That's the new Adam Sandler hit single there.
1:55
Yeah.
1:55
Formula medium.
1:56
The medium formula.
1:59
Um, all right, now we can talk about formula.
2:01
Uh, do we have any updates from the last time we got together?
2:07
Well, we have deliveries coming out for each of the cars.
2:11
That's in February though, right?
2:13
No, well, Cadillacs is in February.
2:15
They're doing theirs.
2:17
During the Super Bowl, I think.
2:19
Ooh, that, that makes sense.
2:20
That's cool.
2:20
But like Red Bulls already revealed theirs and it looks exactly
2:24
the same as the other years.
2:25
It's really, it's like the shade of blue change subtly or something.
2:29
Wow.
2:29
Like it's super hard to tell, have I, or have I not said that?
2:32
The cars look the same every year.
2:34
They're actually smaller an inch.
2:37
Does not make those things smaller.
2:39
No, they're more than an inch.
2:41
Like when you put 'em side by side, they're more to whatever the era of the
2:45
cars was before these, but not, we're not talking Sena era small like those were.
2:50
No, of course not.
2:51
Because those are like go-karts in comparison to what the trucks
2:54
that are on track these days.
2:56
So, okay, so they're gonna reveal deliveries and the
2:58
look of the new car, right?
3:00
I mean, it's, it's always gonna be a formula car, so the wings will
3:02
be slightly different, but I mean, we're not going back to the high
3:05
noses of the 1990s with Schumacher.
3:08
Remember the, I always thought those looked super cool with,
3:10
uh, the high nose Ferraris.
3:11
Remember those in the renos and stuff of like the mid to late nineties?
3:15
I thought those were always super cool.
3:16
You know, we have better aerodynamics now, I guess, apparently, whatever.
3:20
So I guess we'll have to see what they look like, but.
3:22
I thought this was funny.
3:23
So take us back, Tanya, because I could be accused of being a Formula
3:26
One hater, but I've been following Formula One since I was in diapers.
3:30
There's been dark periods in Formula One for me, where I just
3:32
kind of didn't care, you know?
3:34
And I didn't wanna watch it because, you know, certain dynasties had ended,
3:37
like Schumacher had retired finally.
3:39
Or, you know, the Sena Pros thing was over, or whatever it is.
3:42
So now I'm, I'm getting back into it.
3:43
I've never really stopped following.
3:46
I don't follow it as hard as I did this last year and this year.
3:50
Right?
3:51
So bring me up to speed, BOTAs.
3:54
His first race with Cadillac.
3:56
He hasn't been in the driver's seat for like a couple of years.
3:59
He's gonna serve a five second penalty.
4:01
He is what is going on Because he could not serve it 'cause he got a penalty for
4:06
an incident with Magnusson Magnusson at Abu Dhabi, the last race of his season.
4:13
But he did not serve the time penalty.
4:16
So the time penalty apparently in the rules just sits there and is it is
4:20
to be served at the next race, which he retired and now his next race is
4:26
coming up and the penalty gets to be served even though they apparently are
4:31
changing that rule this year, and so that the penalties expire after 12 months.
4:37
So basically, had they already enacted that rule, he would've been.
4:42
Back to zero penalty points because he is been out for over a year, which I don't
4:46
understand why they don't just freaking make an exception and apply it to him now.
4:51
Like what's the point?
4:52
I mean, at the end of the day, he's gonna have a five second penalty.
4:54
It is probably gonna make no difference to the outcome.
4:59
Are you seeing the Cadillac's not gonna last or it's not gonna matter?
5:02
Overall, the first race of the season is probably gonna be a cluster for everybody.
5:09
Yeah.
5:10
Bull's gonna win.
5:11
I doubt that the Cadillac's gonna be vying for one and two
5:14
and then a five second penalty.
5:16
Suddenly they're, you know, down in 10th place, they're gonna be in 14th and
5:21
stay down there with Alonzo and Stroll.
5:24
So it's all good.
5:24
I got, I got it.
5:25
I, so the first race of the year, so Australia, right, so down Adelaide, I
5:30
don't see Red Bull winning either because they got a new power plant from Ford.
5:34
I think McLaren's gonna come out swinging.
5:35
Oh.
5:36
And it's gonna be an Oscar.
5:39
Because.
5:40
Red Bull and Mercedes got cheater motors.
5:42
They got approved those.
5:43
They got approved.
5:44
Yes.
5:45
Their hack or their little gray area trick for the compression of the motors.
5:50
It's all good.
5:51
So Red Bull and Mercedes have skated whatever this line in the rule
5:56
book is on the engine compression.
5:58
So yeah, but once everybody else catches up, then it's a lot.
6:02
We have BOP again.
6:04
Well the first race.
6:05
They'll be ahead.
6:07
And what's Snuffleupagus going to complain about in that race?
6:10
Who Snuffleupagus?
6:12
The one with the eyelashes?
6:14
Oh God.
6:14
George Russell.
6:19
Russell Leus.
6:20
Russell Leus.
6:21
Ah, we coined something new.
6:24
I don't know.
6:25
I'm sure he'll find something.
6:26
Something to complain.
6:28
Antonelli.
6:28
I'm still very hopeful for Antonelli this year.
6:31
I think he's going to come out swinging now.
6:33
I don't know.
6:34
I don't know.
6:34
He got through his rookie year.
6:36
He's at least driven the tracks once now.
6:38
Yeah, exactly.
6:39
Exactly.
6:41
I'm sure he is done some off season training and all that kind of stuff.
6:44
Kimmy Antonelli, I'm not saying he's gonna be the champion, but I think he's
6:47
gonna be consistently up in the front.
6:49
Probably more so than, than Russell will be.
6:51
But I, you know, my Crystal Ball Australia.
6:55
I'm thinking it's Oscar's race.
6:56
I think McLaren's gonna be at the front.
6:58
I think everybody else is gonna have a lot of bugs to work out, which is
7:01
gonna be good for teams like Haas, which didn't really change a whole lot.
7:04
And they changed their car at the end of last season, so they're probably
7:07
gonna carry over some of the stuff that we saw, which was good because
7:10
they were making really good progress.
7:12
And I think beer.
7:13
Is somebody to watch in 2026.
7:15
I think he's gonna make good progress.
7:16
Now, I'm not saying that what's his nuts isn't a good driver, but I think
7:20
Beerman is, is the guy to watch out for.
7:24
Who's what?
7:24
It's nuts.
7:25
The guy that wrecks everybody.
7:26
What is, I can't even think of his name right now.
7:28
Ocon?
7:28
Yes, Ocon.
7:32
You gotta be more specific.
7:34
I gotta get back in the Formula One groove.
7:36
Well, I need, well, I had to snuffle off a guess and then what?
7:39
It's nuts.
7:39
I got it.
7:40
Now I know it's all code names until they're revealed when their cars come out.
7:44
You see, that's how, that's how we gotta go here.
7:47
All right, so I'm, I'm wearing the whole Audi thing, you know?
7:51
Do Audi fans have like a name like the Ferrari, the Zy, right?
7:56
I mean, like, it's a thing.
7:57
Okay.
7:58
Who are Audi fans?
8:00
I don't know because New age Audi people.
8:05
I'll just make a face.
8:06
I'll just make a face and not say what I wanna say.
8:09
And so it would just be real.
8:11
Audi fans are all the old school Audi people, right?
8:13
Maybe they're the meh.
8:15
Just call them the meh.
8:17
Whenever I think of Audi fans, I think of that video I posted from
8:22
Instagram of the guy on the eighties dating tape where he is talking about
8:26
how he's trying to pick up a woman.
8:27
And he said, and I also drive an Audi.
8:29
Oh, man.
8:31
Oh, see, I, I thought I heard you wrong there.
8:33
You said Audi fans, right?
8:34
Is that, is that what you, is how she says that?
8:38
Yes.
8:38
Not, not Anys.
8:39
Audis.
8:40
Oh, oh, oh, okay.
8:40
Yeah.
8:41
Yeah.
8:42
So there's been a bunch of propaganda, I'm gonna call it
8:45
that, coming from the Audi Club.
8:47
And it's like, you know, nonstop about Audi Formula One, which is
8:51
obvious if you're part of the club.
8:52
That's what there is to talk about right now.
8:54
And so this one article that came through, because we're all kind of
8:57
scratching our head right again.
8:59
Why did they choose Kinberg?
9:00
Why are they sticking with these drivers?
9:03
You know, they are a world class motor sports team.
9:06
Every time they've gone into a discipline of racing, they've dominated whether it
9:11
was imsa, whether it was Rally, whether it was lama, you know, so on and line.
9:14
So Formula One is the new mountain that they want to climb.
9:19
You know this article comes out, Audi's 2026, formula one, vision,
9:22
patience, progress, no instant results.
9:25
And so you read all this Nah.
9:27
Edging themselves already.
9:28
Yeah, they already are.
9:29
They're making excuses.
9:31
They haven't even turned the first lap in 15th position and saying,
9:36
here, I love this last line.
9:38
We have faith in Audi and what they can do, let's not get discouraged.
9:43
If they are not battling at the front, their time will come.
9:47
But they have some lessons to learn first, and I'm like spoken
9:51
like a true, disappointed fan.
9:54
How do you go in to a season already like we're losers.
10:00
What I don't understand is they're not gonna be in the sport long
10:03
enough to see themselves as winners.
10:05
'cause they're gonna pull out at some point, like within the next couple years,
10:08
just 'cause they're gonna lose funding.
10:10
The money is so great to be at the level of Ferrari, McLaren,
10:14
even Ferrari's not doing great, but Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes,
10:18
red Bull and all that to be there.
10:20
You, you gotta shell out.
10:21
And I, I get that there's a spending cap, but I'm sure there's
10:24
loopholes to the spending cap.
10:26
Right?
10:26
I mean it's like whatever.
10:29
I think the bigger problem.
10:31
So what, what was it that, where did you read that?
10:33
Because I don't see, it must have been the other article.
10:35
'cause I didn't see any of that.
10:36
It's the, it's the very first one.
10:37
It's at the bottom.
10:38
The very first one at the bottom.
10:39
I swear to God.
10:40
I don't see what you, the one with the guy who looks like Egon Spangler.
10:43
Yeah, that's Otto.
10:44
He is moron.
10:45
That was heading Ferrari.
10:47
And they booted him.
10:48
Yeah.
10:48
Well he's at Audi now, so that's gonna be the same.
10:50
More of the same.
10:51
Yeah.
10:52
He's on a sinking ship.
10:54
It's at the bottom.
10:54
It's the, it's under the very last picture is where they were saying
10:57
they were giving the final excuses.
10:59
Well, no, you said something, there was something you said about how.
11:03
They've got the ability or something.
11:05
So I I, I don't mean to come across as I have faith in what they can do too.
11:10
I don't have faith in what the two drivers they selected can do.
11:13
Thank you for finally agreeing with me because I said that last year and it
11:18
was like, I got these blank stares and I'm like, this was the wrong choice.
11:22
They should have got bonus.
11:24
Over Kinberg.
11:25
Yes, BOR, Leto, Bline.
11:28
It's not gonna do it.
11:30
People keep saying he's the one to look at.
11:32
And I saw something the other day that said, I forget who it
11:35
was that was commenting on him.
11:37
It was someone else in F1 and it was like, he's so precise
11:42
and every lap is precision.
11:44
Precision.
11:44
He doesn't make a mistake.
11:45
I'm like, motherfucker wreck.
11:46
How many times he doesn't make a mistake though?
11:51
Get the fuck out.
11:52
Yeah, he, uh, yeah, I, I can't remember how many times he
11:55
put it in the wall last year.
11:56
And where did he come in points versus, uh, the other rookies, hoop emoji.
12:00
Maybe he has potential, but you could say that about any of the guys that
12:03
are stepping into a Formula One.
12:05
Carl, obviously they have potential.
12:07
You know what I also like about this picture of Egon and the other Audi
12:12
guys, you know, the, the Audi guys showed up with suits, basically,
12:15
you know, no tie open collar.
12:17
Did he just like roll up in a Fiat Brava and like.
12:20
Get out from, you know, drinking a cappuccino.
12:23
Does somebody forget to dress him?
12:25
Like, what is going on in this press picture?
12:28
It's so bizarre.
12:30
He is got like corduroy pants on.
12:31
He gone.
12:32
Alright, so the next article that came across over the winter break,
12:36
this wasn't even that long ago.
12:38
It's basically Audi whining and complaining and
12:41
starting on the engine wars.
12:43
They're already saying, you know, basically they're on the back foot.
12:46
Like you had an entire year to develop your power plant.
12:50
You're the only one coming to the table with a new power plant that you designed
12:55
in house, and that's totally fine.
12:56
I have no problem with that.
12:58
But don't start complaining that, oh, Ferrari or uh, Mercedes.
13:02
Ford is also coming to the table with a brand new power plant
13:05
that they've been working on.
13:06
So I would say you're on a level playing field.
13:08
You're not really on the back foot to anybody in that respect.
13:11
Where did these articles say that?
13:12
There's another one that talks about the engine wars and they
13:15
were complaining about, like you were talking about with the, the
13:18
Mercedes and the compression thing.
13:20
You know, the little loophole.
13:21
It's like, well, the loophole's there for everybody.
13:23
No.
13:23
'cause Ari's bitching about it too.
13:25
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:26
Right.
13:26
Well, they got a lot of things to complain about.
13:29
My God.
13:30
Yeah.
13:30
See Audi calls for clarity on 2026 Power Unit rules.
13:34
Yeah.
13:34
They wanna know if they can cheat too.
13:36
Ridiculous.
13:37
I say let them build whatever they want as long as they meet power to
13:42
weight and whatever aerodynamic print.
13:44
If you wanna do a flat 12 diesel single turbo, go ahead and build it.
13:49
I don't care.
13:50
Do what you want.
13:52
Well, here's the thing.
13:53
So the new cars are all about, again, the stupid energy thing, right?
13:57
And then the battery power and this, that, and the other.
14:02
Howdy already knows how to do this.
14:04
Yeah.
14:04
So why are they just sandbagging?
14:07
Because they shouldn't be that far on the back foot.
14:09
The e-tron is already a hybrid.
14:11
Right?
14:11
Exactly.
14:12
And they were going to be supplying those mgus to Formula One a couple of
14:16
years ago, so they must have already known what's up and what to build
14:20
and, and the specification, again, it's not like they did it overnight.
14:23
Unlike Cadillac, where I hate to say everything is like hand-me-downs, right?
14:27
And I mean, you can argue this, that and the other thing, but they've got
14:31
Ferrari power plants and the chassis, I gotta confirm whether it's theirs or not.
14:35
It's probably a Dara or whatever it is provided to them.
14:39
And so yes, the team is gm, but they're starting in a totally different world.
14:42
It's all borrowed stuff until they can finalize.
14:45
Their power plant, which will be some push rod V eight out of
14:48
whatever in this formula one car.
14:51
I mean, I skimmed through this, you're taking a very negative spin on it and,
14:55
and saying that they're just poo-pooing on themselves and already saying they're crap
14:59
and I don't get that from this article.
15:00
Yeah, they, the article talks about the compression ratio clarity and
15:04
basically saying every other engine builder is questioning what it is.
15:08
Since Mercedes and Red Bull have allegedly figured out a cheat around.
15:12
They dropped from 18 to 16, but somehow they can still
15:15
hit 18 turbo turbos or more.
15:19
So then what?
15:19
But then where are they measuring the compression ratio?
15:22
I'm so legitimate question.
15:23
Right?
15:24
I feel like when I read between the lines, we're building a case
15:29
for why their drivers are not good.
15:31
And so they can blame a lot of other things instead of saying, we chose
15:35
the wrong drivers to come to the table with, well, if they do poorly
15:40
and it's the engine, then they're scapegoating the drivers for it.
15:44
'cause you can't have, like, basically they'd have to be hedging that they've
15:48
built a crappy motor and they know it and then they're gonna scapegoat.
15:51
Somebody else.
15:52
Yes.
15:53
That what you just described is in the annals of Ferrari history, especially
15:59
when you go back to the Enzo era, there was never fault with the cars.
16:03
It was always something else.
16:04
And it's kind of funny how that still kind of rings true.
16:07
Even today.
16:07
It's like, yeah, we built a crap car.
16:09
It's uncompetitive and they'll blame everything else on the
16:11
planet except for the fact that the car's crap and it's slow.
16:14
As we know, last year's cars were absolute garbage.
16:16
I I, maybe I'm reading too much into it.
16:18
Because I am also coming off of, you know, studying all this other stuff and it's
16:22
just like, Ugh, man, this reads too much.
16:25
Like something that's already happened.
16:27
Again, if we set it up now that it's like, well, the rules and this and
16:33
that, and it was all against us.
16:35
To Brad's point, when they run outta money, they can sort of
16:37
back out gracefully and say, see, all the cards were against us.
16:41
It was the cheating compression ratio.
16:44
It was the this and that, and it was the blah, blah blah.
16:47
Well, no, what's gonna happen is because the point that they make in the article
16:51
about the fact that the, the car winning e-tron with its hybrid power plant.
16:56
That they should be able to use that technology in another series that
16:59
requires hybrid power plants, assuming that power plant's legal in Formula One.
17:05
So are they gonna get thrown without, with unfair advantage again,
17:08
because that's the Audi history.
17:10
That is the way they do things.
17:12
They do well, and then everybody goes unfair advantage.
17:15
Yep.
17:16
So it's like they sort of set themselves up at that point.
17:19
But that e-tron system you described, that's where you're using the gas
17:23
power to create electrical energy.
17:25
That's that hybrid electric generator power thing.
17:28
That's not what Formula one cars are.
17:30
They're electronically assisted petrol engines.
17:33
So it's like an electric turbo versus the way they wanted things.
17:37
So Audi can't come in and say, FIA, we're Audi and we invented.
17:42
Light and fire and everything else known to man of cars.
17:45
That's revolutionary.
17:46
And you need to do what we say.
17:49
This is Formula One.
17:50
It's a formula that people need to follow.
17:53
So that's why I think they're sort of setting themselves up for failure by
17:58
not wanting to play ball, if that's the direction they're gonna go.
18:01
In this article that says nothing about them not playing ball, they've
18:04
not said anything about them.
18:06
Not playing ball.
18:07
No, no.
18:07
I'm speculating.
18:09
Actually, the article says the advantage for the motors is
18:11
Mercedes, red Bull, and Audi.
18:13
Those are the teams that should have an advantage, should quote
18:16
unquote, but Audi's got drivers.
18:19
We're just gonna leave that dot, dot, dot.
18:21
It'll be interesting to see how they do.
18:23
'cause I don't think they're gonna, I think that's gonna be a problem.
18:27
Yes.
18:28
Again, when you look at the bottom half, because that's where they're
18:31
gonna be, are they gonna be at the top end of the bottom half or are
18:35
they gonna be fighting with Haas?
18:38
Are they gonna be stuck behind Aston where, you know, Alonzo's just gonna
18:41
put him behind him like he's always done because let's look at how Hulking Berg
18:45
and Bor Colletto have raced against.
18:48
Like Alonzo and the Haas teams or whatever like you.
18:51
To your point, where did Board Leto end the year?
18:53
Not that great.
18:54
Kinberg, he got one podium last year and that the fluke at Silverstone, it
18:58
took him how many years to get there and it was a rain race and half the field
19:02
was wrecked out and the whole thing.
19:03
And it's like they're never gonna get there.
19:06
And then you've got Perez and BOTAs to contend with which veteran
19:10
drivers in a new car, they're gonna have the advantage over these guys.
19:15
New car.
19:16
It like, ugh.
19:17
I don't know.
19:18
I don't know.
19:19
I don't know.
19:19
And if they get their pit strategy wrong, hopefully they've been pro,
19:22
I mean, it's the Salur team, right?
19:23
So I guess they should know how to do at least that part because if they
19:27
suffer on pit strategy, they're over it.
19:29
I don't know.
19:29
Because Bono was in charge of Ferrari when they had their worst pits.
19:34
Oh man.
19:35
Of a season.
19:36
It was when that guy was the team principal, so, oh boy.
19:40
Well, the Audi merch.
19:42
Is climbing.
19:43
It's gonna be awesome.
19:45
I mean, I'm super excited about that part and we have all sorts of really cool swag.
19:49
So maybe we add this next bit of formula oneness to next
19:53
year's holiday shopping list.
19:55
Lego City adds Audi Formula one display truck with Audi Formula
19:59
race car to their collection.
20:01
I love this.
20:02
I will have this.
20:03
This is amazing.
20:04
This isn't as cool as the Ferrari semi-truck that turned into like
20:08
a pit stall thing that they had with the Ferrari Formula One cars.
20:11
But this is really, really cool.
20:12
I, I do think it's funny though that it's a flatbed and not a car carrier.
20:19
Foreshadowing, you wanna be able to see the car on it.
20:22
It's also not the speed champion size stuff.
20:24
It's the littler ones, but I'm still okay with that.
20:26
Well, if you want the speed champion size stuff, go ahead
20:29
and put your pre-order now.
20:31
'cause it ships on March 1st.
20:34
What gonna have to get one?
20:35
It's good stuff.
20:37
Lego getting into the game.
20:38
So what's interesting, formula One merch from last year I've noticed
20:43
has started to be clearanced out at Walmart and Target and stuff like that.
20:46
So if you're into that sort of thing, it's time to grab it because
20:49
I guess all new stuff is coming 'cause deliveries are changing.
20:52
That's also an indication.
20:53
Maybe the cars are gonna look a little bit different.
20:56
Because if Lego's gotta take everything back or get it off the shelves as
20:59
clearance, 'cause they're gonna reissue, you know, 22, I guess it would be 11
21:03
new cars, you know, in different colors and looks and all that kind of stuff.
21:06
I guess there's new things coming, so I guess we have to wait and see.
21:10
I will also add as we wrap out this Formula one segment for the month, but
21:15
since we're talking about Formula One.
21:17
I wanna give a shout out to fellow MPN, creator John
21:20
Summers, the motoring historian.
21:22
He got together with his co-host and longtime best friend, mark Gammy, to
21:26
talk about the greatness of Schumacher.
21:28
And so that episode dropped on January the fifth.
21:31
So scroll back into our catalog and check out that episode as well.
21:35
It's actually really, really good.
21:37
They try to pack a lot in an hour.
21:39
They were there watching, you know those races.
21:42
They went to the races.
21:44
They were Schumacher fans.
21:46
In period, all that kind of stuff.
21:47
And so they talk about, you know, what happened afterwards and
21:50
Schumacher's legacy and what he was like personality wise on track.
21:53
I thought it was a really well done episode.
21:55
So John's done a lot of Senna stuff in the past.
21:58
He's very much a fan of Senna as well, but it was nice to have
22:02
something different to hear about.
22:03
Not the old timey, old timey Formula one stuff, but it's like, oh, this
22:06
is pretty modern, pretty current.
22:09
He mentioned to me that he was gonna do some more Formula
22:12
One history stuff, so maybe.
22:14
You know, he could jump into something more modern.
22:15
Talk about like the Vel era or something like that, you know, or even
22:18
the early days of, of Lewis Hamilton.
22:20
It would be kind of nice, you know, if Hamilton was to retire.
22:23
I'm not saying he's going to anytime soon, but if he did, it'd be nice to kind of
22:26
close that chapter and do a retrospective.
22:28
He's been in Formula One for a long time, so I could see more, I don't wanna
22:31
call them tribute episodes coming in the future, but it, it's cool when you
22:35
historians, you know, sit down and sort of do that retrospective analysis and
22:39
they can, you know, tell a nice story about what happened when, for those that.
22:42
You know, may not have been there for it and Schumacher is still in our
22:46
thoughts and prayers all the time.
22:47
So that about wraps up Formula One, unless you have anything else, but we
22:51
will pick up February with what's new.
