What are the hosts' thoughts on Tommy's time in New Zealand?
Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. Yes, Tommy is here. That is correct. He's been very generous with his time. You know, of course, about 300 days of the year he's on holiday. But he is now here.
I love that. That's the thing. I saw a comment that was like, that Tommy's lack of being on the pod is ridiculous. We've done like 700 episodes and I've missed about three, I think.
Yeah, I know. But those three are what we really miss you for. But you are here. You are in New Zealand before we both head to Australia very shortly. I mean, how are you enjoying New Zealand? People have, of course... I mean, you've been recognised already in a very uncompromising position of you on a zipline, which was impressive.
Yeah, shout out to the guy on the zipline or at the end of the zipline. We have this running joke now. uh between uh you and our producer charlie that basically like everywhere i go now it seems to be recognized if i just go out in public um which is really weird and uh i happened when i went to portugal and it's it's always weirder when it's around the world and yeah i ended up doing this this zip line thing got to the bottom and the first thing the guy said to me is uh enjoying the the break i was like oh okay the break from what the zip line or f1 do you know me yeah so yeah that was uh that was really cool you did some yeah luge luge i did luge with grace yeah practice her racing lines and things she's a she's a proper daredevil um she's she's gonna be bungee jumping when she's like 10
So if you don't know what luge is, it's essentially like downhill racing. Every video I've ever seen looks insanely dangerous. Can you, as someone who has actually done it, tell us how dangerous it actually is?
It's not as crazy, but I did get up on two wheels a few times. It's good fun. It depends how much you send it. You can control your speed, basically, by moving the handlebars forward and backwards. So as the competitive Formula One fan that I am, I had a go with Grace and Katie. And then when they went off to get dinner, I had one ticket left and basically sent it on the last lap as fast as I could.
Oh, my God. Why did you not speak to me beforehand? I would have vetoed against that. We need to have you on the podcast, mate. I'm not in hospital. So, yes, Tommy's in New Zealand. I'm heading to Australia on Tuesday for, of course, our Australia tour. There's a few tickets left at some of the destinations. So please come along if you haven't got your ticket already and you're in town when we are. As with normal now, with our predictions and kind of before we get into them, we cover some news, and I know a lot of you have been appreciating that. The big one, which we haven't been able to discuss fully, we did discuss it not that long ago about circuits we'd want back on the F1 calendars. It doesn't feel too unfamiliar, but...
as if by magic, Turkey has returned and is back from 2027 for a five-year deal. I am buzzing. This is fantastic news. We needed some good news in the world of Formula One. We'll get into the updated race for Miami and get your thoughts, Tommy, shortly. But in terms of Turkey coming back, what a W.
Absolutely. I mean, it was your pick, wasn't it, when we did that circuits video. So they're obviously listening and put it straight on the calendar immediately. Wow, F1 are listening to us. Amazing. Yes, maybe the stuff we said about the regs might. I'll wait now. But yeah, Turkey, it's awesome that it's back. It's a classic track and it's a surprise, actually, with all this talk of maybe going to new places and F1 abandoning classic tracks and stuff. and maybe abandoning kind of Europe a little bit as well. We're actually going back to Portimao, going back to Turkey now as well. So very exciting. Just need like Germany and stuff back now. Is that too much to ask? And Sepang in India.
India, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just a few on the list, but this is a good start. And speaking of a good start, I've had some time after the solo podcast to absorb the updated regulations for Miami.
