Hwa Long Dianjing, and welcome to Shift F1, a podcast about speedy race cars.

That, by the way, is Chinese

for drawing a dragon and adding the eyes, an expression, meaning to add a small detail that makes

everything come to life. Mercedes added a small and very young detail to their driver roster,

who, it seems, has finally come to life. I'm Drew Scanlan. Joining me, Danny O'Dwyer, how are you, Danny? I'm doing great. I taught for a second you were saying, happy St. Patrick's Day and Chinese to me, which would have been appropriate and new. I've never had that happen to me. So if you are Chinese and you meet me on March 17th in the future,

please, please say law fell a poric son of it, but in Chinese, I'd really appreciate it.

Wow. All right. Also joining us, Rob Zakene, how are you, Rob?

Shouldn't we be moving on to Arabic or, like, Bedouin idiomatic turns of phrase around around this time?

Rob I've got some bad news for you.

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh.

Did history continue to happen?

Keep politics at his podcast, Rob.

Come on.

Come on, man.

Uh, if you're forcing your ideology into the F-1 calendar. If you're going to this. Some forcing your ideology into the F1 calendar.

If you're new to this podcast, a very warm welcome to you.

And if you are new to Formula One itself, we've got an episode just for you.

Our preseason primer 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, it's episode 338. Also, the show would not be possible without our audience over at patreon.com slash shift F1, where every month we release ad-free versions of the podcast early, along with bonus pods and videos exclusively for our patrons, the cover racing documentaries and films, F1 video games, experiments with other racing series, and a lot of weird things. So if you would like to support the show and get access to all that fun stuff, hit over to patreon.com slash shiftf1 or click the link in the show notes. What do we have going on this month, Danny? We just record, well, last week we put up the first three episodes of, sorry, for, yeah, three. There's only six, no, four or four?

Okay.
