He's a guy who knows how ruthless Formula One can be as much as how brilliant Formula One can be.

So no other podcast really brings people Formula One in this way.

But the other thing, mate, is when we recorded our first episode a few days ago, it's so much fun.

Honestly, I really hope that when people tune in, and we'll play a little clip now, is that they just enjoy it.

Like Formula One, it's such a fascinating sport, but it's an entertainment sport more than anything else.

And I want it to be entertainment.

You know, I think our podcast is quite deep and quite heavy.

Sometimes people message us that day and they're like, I loved it, but I had to pull the car over and start making notes.

I had to listen to it again after my dog walk to actually work out what was being said.

Whereas this is just going to be light.

It's going to be fun, but it's also going to be informative.

So I think people are going to love it.

Should we play a clip?

Well, here it is then.

Let's sit back and enjoy together some of the first episode of High Performance Racing.

We should start by the fact that this is our first ever show and we've launched on a week where there's no Grand Prix.

It wasn't the plan.

What's sort of going on behind the scenes on a week like this where Formula 1 will feel that they should be racing and they're not from like an organizational perspective, from a financial perspective?

Yeah.

You're in a real rhythm as a Formula One people.
