Turkey 2010, frighteningly long time ago now.
But when you think back to that weekend, what's the first thing that comes to mind?
Oh, amazing.
Ed, other than clambering out of a car on a ferry, what stands out for you for that weekend?
I did not see that coming.
This has been already one of the best openings to a show.
With apologies to producer Johnny.
No apologies.
Well, I was going to say, he's kind of still in that role now, isn't he?
He is the podcast, sir.
Yeah, he makes the rest of us look good.
Let's get back on track.
A big talking point going into the Turkey weekend then was the news that Sebastian Vettel was getting a new chassis from Red Bull off the back of him being outpaced by teammate Mark Webber at the previous two races.
Vettel admitted he'd been complaining that something wasn't right with his car.
So he felt it was good that Red Bull were making the change and he reckoned it would explain a lot.
He accepted it didn't mean he would suddenly arrive in Turkey and everything would be fine.
But he was hopeful the change would make him happier in the car.
And after first practice on Friday, he said that new chassis felt more natural to drive.
So he's very happy with the change.
However, Weber said years later in his book that Red Bull management had decided to tell Vettel his old chassis was cracked, even though it wasn't.
