Doos get in and welcome to Shift-F1, a podcast about speedy race cars.

That by the way is Azerbaijani for Ghost Rate, a direction a lot of people seem to be following

this weekend in regards to escape roads. I'm Drew Scanlon, joining me, Rob Zachney. How are you, Rob?

Boy, howdy. You are right. We will get to, we have lots to get to today. We'll go through Azerbaijan

and then we'll do our pre-show for Canada. But if you are new to this podcast,

a very warm welcome to you. If you're new to Formula One itself, we've got an episode just

for you that explains how this work works and who everybody is. It's our pre-season primer.

So if you'd like to go back and listen to that, it's episode 178. Also, the show is supported

entirely by our audience over at patreon.com slash shift f1, where every month we release

bonus podcasts and videos exclusively for our patrons that cover racing documentaries and films,

F1 video games, experiments with other racing series, and a lot of weird things. So if you'd like

support the show and get access to all that fun stuff, head over to patreon.com slash shift f1

or click the link in the show notes. Usually I would throw it over to Danny here, but Danny is on

assignment this week. So I am here to tell you that our next patron exclusive episode will be

Uh, no, I haven't. Oh, okay. Good. I'm, uh, I have, uh, and I'm anxious to see what's

about. It's not new to you. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but we will be recording that later this month

and posting it later this month. But in the meantime, I wanted to give a special shout out to our

title sponsors over at patreon.com this time in reverse alphabetical order starting with your
