And Nelson Valkenburg.

Yeah, clearly.

NLS, Nordschleife racing at the Nürburgring.

We were lucky to get the rights just before Verstappen announced that he was going to race there.

And we're gearing up for the 24 hours of the Nordschleife right after Miami.

Doing some documentary work, which is very cool to do.

And we had a little theater show with Max Verstappen as well to put together.

So it's been quite busy in the last few weeks.

But really looking forward to get back on the plane.

I found it getting increasingly more difficult because I really enjoyed Melbourne.

And I thought, ah, with all the doom and the fear mongering, it was actually quite an enjoyable Sunday.

But then once we got to Japan, which is fundamentally just a very pure racing circuit, it was

I started to struggle a little bit because some highlight reels didn't feel relevant.

The yo-yo effect, as Alex explains.

I find it difficult to strike that balance because I know a large part of your audience will not.

know him immediately when you're too excited about a yo-yo effect of someone not being able to keep it and someone overtaking someone on the inside simply because the other one doesn't have the energy to pair that and yeah it's been a bit of a struggle I must say I don't mind the technical challenge of it but yeah as a purist which I'm pretty proud to say that I am

I find it sometimes difficult to make certain that we're commentating on things that actually matter.

And as Alex said, racing has always been brake late, turn in, find your grip level, go on throttle.

And it is not like that now.

And to find the relevance in that to your commentary and to how to go fast, it's a search.
