Hello everybody and welcome to Shift F1, a podcast about speedy race cars. I'm Drew Scanlan, joining me, Danny O'Dwyer. How are you, Danny?

I'm great. I'm doing good. No idiomatic expression this week. No race to look back on or forwards to, although, you know, in many ways we will be looking back on all of the races today.

And looking forward to introducing Rob Zakeney.

How are you, Rob?

So how long a break do we get?

How long before the madness starts again?

Not long.

Not like what is it?

Start of March.

We don't get a break because we still do Patreon exclusive podcasts.

Well, there's that.

Yes. right because we still do patron exclusive podcasts. Well, there's that, yes. All those F1 drivers, they get to go off from the ski vacations for a couple months.

I'll bring this up again at the end, but let's see.

We are back.

Our current date for the 2025 preseason primer is March 5th.

Okay, but we will be doing a catch-up before that, probably.

We'll probably do like an off-season news episode sometime in February.

Yeah.

And of course, as you mentioned, we'll have bonus episodes for Patreon subscribers for January and February,

even though no regular pods.

But yes, F1, we'll see the new liveries on February 18th.

On the same day this time.
