Awesome as always.
Totally agree on the George Russel / Prost comparison.
Thx for listening mate. :)
Always do
I think it’s time we all admit that the results and the trickery at the end of the last season are good for formula 1. It has allowed Max to calm down and be less petulant, it has allowed Red Bull to secure future partnerships with Porsche and become an engine developer and supplier, and it has allowed a reshuffling of the top eight teams which in and of itself breeds more exciting TV, which breeds more sponsorship and money.

Really interesting to watch.
