And the Béinckinneue on the circuit de Paul Ricard. What does that mean?

And what is that exotic language?

That is my high school French coming back to haunt me, Rob Zachney.

We are, we're off to the races as we are most weeks, every other week actually,

I'd probably say, in the south of France.

Again, we didn't have enough of the South of France with Monaco and with all those beers we drank in Los Angeles.

Ever since tasting the sweet nectar that is Blue Coast brewing, you know, I think in my heart I'm still in the south of France.

This week is a two for a Drew is on assignment. I am leading the formation lap as it were and

delighted to be joined on the front row by Mr Rob

Zachney who we were hanging out together in Los Angeles only a couple of days ago at the

big video game conference E3 you You just got back yesterday, is that right?

Yeah I spent some extra time in Los Angeles to hang out, see some friends. I realized I

planned it pretty badly though because I forgot that it would basically mean that watching

uh the 24 hours would be impossible. Right. And so, uh, instead I stupidly enjoyed my weekend in Los Angeles and got lots of sun and saw lots of friends

when I could have been inside watching motorsports for at least 16 hours.

Yeah, I was kept up today, thankfully, by the Shift F1 Twitter community,

mostly on the fate of one Pastor Maldonado who was you know that that circuit

there are many crashes usually on a race that long and he was the second

retirement of many of them but yeah I haven't seen the crash but

apparently binder pretty hard and total the car congratulations to Fernando

Alonso Sebastian boamy and Nakajima as well for securing Toyota's second win.

It's good to see him collecting gold as it were if you know not on F1 tracks but but somewhere in the world
