Cavallo di Battalia and welcome to Shift F1, a podcast about speedier as cars.

That, by the way, is Italian for Battle Horse. Oh my goodness. Battle Horse.

That's my favorite blizzard game. Battle Horse refers to someone's area of expertise.

Oh, that's my battle horse. Yeah. What's your battle horse, Drew Skylin?

Is it a full battle one? Well, go check the Apple podcast reviews. I think it's fair to say

that driving race cars is Max Verstappen's battle horse. That's true. That's true. I'm joining me.

I'm joining me alongside Danny O'Dwyer. How are you, Danny? Great. I'm delighted to be joining you

and you this week, as we are without Rob Zackney, who is on assignment somewhere in parts unknown.

If you're new to this podcast, a very warm welcome to you. If you are new to Formula One itself,

we recommend listening to our preseason primer episode, which assumes no prior F1 knowledge

and explains how the sport works and who everybody is. So if you'd like to go back and listen to that

and get caught up, that's episode 216. Also, this show is aborted. I'm sorry.

Rewind. This show would not be possible without our audience at patreon.com.

Slash shift F1 every month. We release an ad free version of the podcast.

No ads. No ads. Hashtag. No plus. No ads.

Like shift F1 plus. Oh, there you go. There you go. There's already plus in the logo type.

Shift plus F1 plus. Yeah. Perfect.

SEO. Yep. There's an ad free version of the podcast, bonus podcast and videos exclusively for

our patrons that cover racing documentaries and films, F1 video games, experiments with the

racing series and a lot of weird things. So if you would like to support the show and get access
