If you are new to Formula One itself as a whole, welcome.

We have an episode just for you called the pre-season primer

that explains the sport from top to bottom,

albeit under the assumption that we would have had a full season this year,

but still if you'd like a good starting point that is episode 96.

And I think one of the reasons we do the preseason primer every year is because Formula One can be hard to get into.

There's a lot of history, a lot of people, and a whole lot of complicated engineering. But our belief is that the more you know about the sport, the more enjoyable it is to watch, which is why we design this show as is inclusive and as accessible as we can so one

it's also reading a shield for explaining that I know nothing about how cars work

so it's great I love it yeah Yeah we don't have to be experts. One person I think

who might resonate with that sentiment is our guest today. You may know him on the

internet as Chain Bear, Stuart Taylor, welcome to the show.

Hi, thank you for having me.
