Listen, it's okay to be mad about the Monaco sprint races, but let's not be that annoyed that we're getting more sprints next year. I mean, I'm I'm loving I sprints usually rip. It's only when they do sprints at bad racetracks that sprints suck. Don't let the recent sprint BS Blind you to the brilliance of sprints.

Kind of a bold move to put Bahrain and Saudi Arabia as the first two races of next year's. I mean, like, how how starry-eyed are they about what what the world's gonna look like come March of twenty twenty seven? I wanna live in the world that these guys are all living in where we're racing in the Middle East in March of twenty twenty seven. I I I I hope that they're right. Yeah, exactly. I I I hope and pray that they are right. But obviously, we're talking about the schedule for next year that came out. There's a lot to discuss today. There's obviously the new schedule. We're getting a sprint race in Monaco. Absolutely wild. Ten sprint races coming in twenty twenty-seven. There's more news in the Aduo world.
This Honda, Aston Martin, Muhammad Ben Salayam situation. Situation is heating up because Total Wolf has thrown his hat into the ring, and so has LaRon Mekis. People are getting behind this effort. We're gonna talk about all things where the duo has absolutely failed this year. Max's racing against a hundred Carters, and uh a little bit of gossip on the other end of things. But this is all happening on this episode of the Red Flags, part of the Vox Media Net. But uh let's start uh the most late the this latest news, the twenty twenty-seven Formula One season has been announced. We are not starting in Australia. We're starting in Bahrain, followed by Saudi Arabia, and we have ten and the real news is that we have ten sprint races coming next year.
Those sprint races will be in Bahrain, week one, Australia, race three, Japan, race four, Canada, race seven, Monaco race eight. Silverstone raised ten, five. Manza, race fourteen, Brazil, race twenty one, Qatar, race twenty three, and Abu Dhabi race twenty four. So there will be a sprint in the final two races of the year, which will be interesting if it is going to be a close title battle, that there will be extra points to be gotten on those weekends. But we hinted at at the start, what are your uh what are your reactions to this schedule, Matt?
Well, I look forward to the Malaysian Grand Prix brought to you by Bob Rain as the opener. Yeah. And then maybe and maybe the Barcelona Grand Prix brought to you by Saudi Arabia as a second round. That's what I that's what I'm guessing is gonna happen.
