And the Bismuchy net nahuki and welcome to Shift F1 a podcast about speedy race cars.

That by the way is Russian for without torture there is no science

uh or

Jeez is that was this experience of watching the rice?

Is that where we're going?

In English, you'd say no pain, no gain because these kinds of races,

well they build character.

I'm Drew Scanlon.

Speaking of characters, joining me, Danny O'Dwyer, how are you, Danny?

I was cautiously pessimistic about Sochi and so my expectations were low and they were met.

So that's totally fine. But we're going to do our best to make sure that this

is a podcast that brings home the checkered bacon. Let's go.

Also joining us we have Rob Zachney, how are you Rob?

Uh, better than I was doing Sunday afternoon when that race left me feeling like I was hung over.

And I needed to take a quick like five to ten minute cat nap to sort of get my day back on track.

Needed to have some of Danny Kivyaz's Christmas vodka.

There you know that guy that seemed like a good Christmas.

You know, I will defend that photo of his like powerful new like single dad energy.

I think that was just people can't handle what a prime

Russian Christmas looks like but that was it yeah I wish I could rock a sweater

like Daniel Kaviet can. If you are new to this podcast, a very warm welcome and if you are new to Formula One itself, we recommend listening to our pre-season primer episode which assumes no prior

f1 knowledge and explains how the sport works and who everybody is.
