Hello everybody and welcome to Shift F1, a podcast about speedy race cars.

I am Drew Scanlon, joining me, we have Danny O'Dwire.

How are you Danny?

I'm excited, it's a new season, it's time to prime.

Indeed it is, also joining us, we have Rob Zackney, how are you Rob?

Oh man, just currently drinking from the fire hose of information coming out about the

new cars right now and my thirst is slaked.

Excellent.

We have got a very special show for you today.

Usually this podcast is sort of a companion piece to the Formula One season.

We've got episodes before each race that talk about the track and the storylines going

into the race and then episodes after the race that break down what happened.

In addition to taking audience questions and covering the news of F1 and the wider world

of racing, we've also got a Patreon Patreon.com slash of F1 where we release bonus episodes

that cover racing, movies and documentaries and a lot of other fun stuff, but this episode

is different.

This is our annual preseason primer which is designed to bring someone who has zero

Formula One knowledge up to speed, so to speak, on how this port works, who everybody

is.

Basically to unlock the ability to enjoy races, F1 has traditionally had a pretty steep

learning curve, so our goal with this episode and really this whole podcast is to flatten

that curve and make the sport accessible and fun to watch.
