Oh, yeah.

If I'd had time and we didn't have to record this podcast so rapidly, I'd have put the bunting up.

I'd have got the streamers out.

I'd be blowing my party whistle.

I mean, it's not 50-50 engines completely in the bin.

And just to move back to more simple times where whatever your right foot does is the response you get.

But it's a massive step in the right direction if it goes all through and if it means an end to ridiculous super clipping, terrible closing speeds, drivers getting punished for not driving the corners properly and basically being rewarded for going slower rather than faster through the turns, then I'm all for it.

I think this is a great move.

I think it's ridiculous...

On the one hand, the F1 is essentially binning the core principle of these new engine regulations after four races.

But nevertheless, I completely welcome it.

Because we were not expecting.

We knew when you mentioned this morning, you know, that this meeting was happening.

And sometimes these meetings happen and you get, you know, a comprehensive announcement, something concrete.

I know it's still in principle, but...

This is something concrete, an absolute proposal on the table.

Sometimes you just get a kind of nonsense release that's, yeah, we had a good meeting, constructive talks, and the can gets kicked down the road.

There will be another meeting in the future where we will discuss the following meeting.

Exactly, yeah, and we'll go over the previous meeting and plan the next one.

In order to get even an agreement in principle, you still have to have agreement.
