She'll be apples and welcome to shift off one, a podcast about speedy race cars.

That, by the way, is

Aussie slang for Everything Will Be All Right. And of course, it will be with these weird

regulations, an engine that might shake itself apart on the first lap, and literal bombs

falling on Formula One host countries. What Could go wrong? I'm Drew Scanlan.

Joining me, Danny O'Dwyer. How are you, Danny? We're back. I've never known as little about Formula

1 as this moment, and it is beautiful. Even the track walk when I was putting it together, I was like,

okay, overtaking zones this year. I don't know. How does that work? How does anything work anymore? Batteries that don't charge up for qualifying? What's going on? I don't know. Yeah. It's a wild time. If you are just getting into Formula One this year, you know as much about F1 as any F1 fan. Great. Also, joining us, Rob Zakeney. How are you, Rob? You know, as long as the season goes, like, come December, I was like, man, I'm going to be so bummed. No, not true. The second they started testing, MK&E, and I really, you want to watch testing? And immediately, just like back in uh completely completely suited for f1

yeah uh if you are new to this podcast a very warm welcome to you and if you are new to formula

one itself why we recommend listening to our preseason primer episode which which assumes no prior F1 knowledge from you

and explains how the sport works and who everybody is. So if you would like to go back and

listen to that and get up to speed. That is episode 338, just one prior to this one. So,

yeah. It's a big one. It's a monster.

Yeah. Big junkie. It took us like three weeks to record it because I had an internet outage

during one of the first recordings. And then Rob was snowed in for like a week. So you had

internet like electricity outages, right? So so yeah yeah the the electricity isn't so bad

i got a propane generator so it was uh yeah so that part wasn't so bad but the internet goes out

when i lose power it's like the whatever the fios line is to my place seems to be dependent on power um like i think comes in on

the same lines but also literally anytime there's power dips or surges like our internet

freaks out so there there's some sort of dependency there that's different than when i had uh

than when i had expendendency. Yeah.

Well, this show would not be possible.
