Hello, race fans, welcome to Shift F1, a podcast about speedy race cars.

Danny Woodwire here, once again, deputizing for

Drew Scandlin, who is on assignment, Rob Zakeney. How you doing? Apologies. I'm once again

coming from a hotel room in Los Angeles. Apparently, this is what I do now. What illicit

things do you think I'm doing down here? Why do I constantly end up in cheap motels in Los Angeles?

Well, I mean, you know, I'm a passionate devotee of Warren Zivon, so I assume you're just having

some sort of drug-induced existential crisis thinking about how your life led you to this point

and how you've thrown away all the opportunities and the love of a good woman for a sad fate in Los Angeles.

So I have to get into Zivon as well.

I feel like there's this big black hole of Americana, the music that I've been setting in slowly.

So Zivon is like, I think half American, half UK.

I think it's, and Russian expats, I want to say.

It's a great name.

He sounds like a rock star. Yeah. But I think you got, you've got, his self-title LP is just a classic. That's one of the best albums ever. So you've got to listen to that. All right. I'll add it to the list, my friend. It's a funny week. We, you know, after coming back from a, you know,

a break in F1 that nobody expected, we are once again sitting on another sort of two-week break.

So there is no race next week. We're going to be back talking about Canada the week after that.

And then we're into the European series with Monaco and everything else so

summertime racing is coming but for the moment we are once again sort of in a holding position

here we do have a little bit of news though there's not that much news but we've a bit of news we've got

some emails so we're going to make the best of it here folks and um have a good chin wag about

formula one in some respect.

I did watch that Formula 2 race weekend though, Rob.
