Hello and a very warm welcome to the late breaking F1 podcast presented by Harry Eid,

Sam's age and me Ben Hocking.

Reviewing today the penultimate race of the season, the Brazilian Grand Prix, a Brazilian Grand Prix with plenty of drama and plenty of firsts.

A first ever pole position for Kevin Magnuson, a first ever sprint race win for George Russell

and a first actual race win for George Russell as well.

And count that as the first Mercedes Grand Prix win of 2022.

Who would have thought it would have come with just two races to go in the season?

And he led home a Mercedes-1-2 with Carlos Sines also being on the podium in third.

A tough one for Max Verstappen, as we've become accustomed to seeing him win over the last long time.

What do you make of that one, Sam?

Over the last long time, a fantastic entry into the segment there, folks. It's just a long time, isn't it? I mean, yes, in terms of measurements of time, a long time is very correct. I mean, let's just go to Sao Paulo every single race. Interlagos never seems to let us down, whether it be rain or shine, whether we have a sprint race there, despite the hate on this podcast, I think we could all agree that the entertainment over the weekend was enjoyable and we did have a lot of fun with it. And the racing up and down the field was messy in parts, it was wheel to wheel rubbing in others, and there were some fantastic moves all the way through the grid. That's what you want in F1. You want a little bit of controversy. You want a little bit of hard racing. You want some great surprise finishes and the surprise result of the likes of Magnuson picking up pole position on Friday. What a feel good moment. I feel like we've really missed that feel good moment. The fact that we had almost like a triple header of newbies at the top, obviously Georgia

Oghirpo City, but not a sprint race winner and now a race winner as well, absolutely brilliant

way, I think, to cap off what's been a little bit of an anticlimactic season, if you're a

fan of incredibly close racing and close championships. So, well done into Lagos, you're absolutely

delivered, and Brazilian fans, as always, were spectacular.

Just cheering for everyone all day long.

Absolutely love that.

Great job.

If you can't hear, I'm quite hoarse.

So I'm sorry if this is annoying you, Hegphone listeners.
