And you'd have to say, based on how strong Mercedes are generally on the energy starve circuits, it's voice-verified

Russell's to lose, so a lot riding on it this weekend for him, I think. voice-verified

Yeah, I mean we we won't get a repeat of the Holgenberg year nonsense just because the rules were changed after that to make sure that you couldn't do it and there are now minimum times everyone has to complete and gaps need to be left and etcetera. voice-verified

I do think towing has to be factored in voice-verified

in the fight for polls, specifically because you know there are two teams who will sacrifice a driver for it to get a better grid position. voice-verified

Mercedes can do it. voice-verified

Red Bull definitely will do it. voice-verified

So therefore, if you're McLaren or Ferrari and you've you want to have your two drivers just in the mix and maybe freelancing for a tow, like you say, Ed, you can't afford voice-verified

to just commit to that because your rivals are going to almost certainly do something different because they can just afford to sacrifice a car and you can't. voice-verified

When it comes to the racing voice-verified

I f I feel like as much as I'd like to get excited about it being like a slipstreamer of old and there being loads of overtaking, I'm just a bit worried there won't be. voice-verified

I think it'll either either will be a a catastrophic mess because no one's got the deployment strategy right and there'll be lots of yo yoing and weird slipstreaming and passing and repassing rather than kind of obvious why it's happened stuff. voice-verified

But the fact it's Monza, the fact it voice-verified

It's a one stop race pretty much nailed on. voice-verified

normally the the more chaotic overtaking races have been like at Zanvolt where the tyres degraded more than everyone expected or Barcelona where the tyres degraded more than everyone expected and you have a lot of different strategy options. voice-verified

I don't really see how Monza plays into that and it just kinda normalises everybody's thinking a little bit. voice-verified

I do hope the overtake mode, which obviously you get all the way round the lap, is better than DRS was, particularly at Monza, 'cause you just ended up with these trains. voice-verified

But equally if if we do end up with these trains, which we could do, then it's all gonna be about qualifying and all about then, okay, what do you do? voice-verified

Do you go for tire prep over everything else, or do you go for some kind of towing? voice-verified

the fact that it's already such a big talking point ahead of qualifying, I just feel like I'd if I had to pick voice-verified
