Obviously you go out to more and more people.
You're just by the nature of percentages going to get people who, who aren't fine with it.
But honestly, uh, I, I,
Love being a Formula One commentator.
I always wanted to be a Formula One commentator.
I won't do it indefinitely.
If I feel like I've said everything there is to say and that point comes, then it's time to put the microphone down and give someone else that opportunity.
Now, that's easy to say before you get a mortgage, and you might feel differently after you get a mortgage.
I certainly do.
So that's the difference of it.
But I think I still want to stick to that principle of
the criticism comes with it.
It used to be way more columnists, didn't it?
In the old, in the old broadsheet and tabloid days before social media, you used to get, you know, Murray Walker retired because of a editorial in a British tabloid newspaper that said the guy's too old.
He's making too many mistakes and it's time to go.
And he read it and he, and he thought, yeah, maybe I am.
And that is, that is held up,
still to this day, as the benchmark commentator in the English language for Formula One.
So it's migrated to a different place.
You can't do any job worth doing without someone chipping away at social media.
