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

Abu Dhabi qualifying review, last qualifying review of the season.

And it was Max Vestappen who took pole position ahead of the Ferrari of Chau-Laclair, Oscar Piastri in third, George Russell and fourth,

and then Lando Norris rounding out the top five.

Harry, I mean, it's the last one of the year.

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

We're at that point now.

Everything is the last. It's the last of everything weekend.

Sad times.

And Abidabie served us with a mediocre qualifying session.

So, cheers, Abu Dhabi.

How do you even do that?

How do you produce a mediocre?

In 2023, of all the years, and it's still... How do you even do that? How do you produce a mediator?

In 2023, of all the years, and it still cannot be good.

And the most ridiculous thing about it as well is, by my reckoning,

there were eight of the ten teams represented in Q3.

There was like six tenths separating first and elimination in Q1.

How is that still mediocre? That's just the recipe for success.
