| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to the B1 podcast with Matt and Tommy. |
| 0:12.6 | We're done. |
| 0:14.0 | Formula One is officially over. |
| 0:16.6 | We have a new world champion. |
| 0:19.8 | What a disaster of a Grand Prix it was. |
| 0:23.1 | I felt like I was watching Qatar all over again. |
| 0:26.0 | But, look, whenever we have relatively poor races from an overtaking entertainment side of things, it usually unleashes the Bellingham. |
| 0:34.9 | That's what a lot of people are saying on the streets. They're looking |
| 0:38.4 | forward to a Tommy rant. I've heard there's one on the horizon. It was a rubbish finale Tommy. |
| 0:44.2 | Still tense because of the championship connotations and anything could happen with the title on |
| 0:48.5 | the line. But it was a bit of a bit of a struggle. It was. I can't believe we had the finale we did after we hyped it up |
| 0:56.2 | so much. We know Abu Dhabi is basically an awful track to have a finale on anyway. There's a little |

| 1:17.3 | It was crazy, really. |
| 1:20.2 | Absolutely crazy. |
| 1:21.3 | I love how we got so excited and Max let us down from a scenario perspective. |
| 1:26.7 | We thought, we thought Red Bull would try something. And the only thing they did was Yuki Snod. Max Tray. Too nice. What simulation are we living? I couldn't believe it. But there are some things that could have happened in which case and other things might have happened, which of course we'll get into in this podcast because we love to talk about everything that went on. Before we do, a quick shout out to our wonderful patrons who'll be getting extra chat at the end of this race review. |
| 1:49.3 | And of course, lots of other benefits as well. |
| 1:50.8 | Add free listening. |
| 1:51.7 | You get access to a Discord, early access to P1 Live Show tickets and so on and so forth. |
| 1:56.6 | And yes, we'll have a bit more to reflect on after the main podcast is done. |
