Hello and a very well. Welcome to the late breaking F1 podcast presented by Sam Sage and me, Ben Hocking,

here for another midweek episode in this little mini gap, or at least it feels like a mini gap,

between Canada and Monaco. It's very weird just having one week between races, Sam. I'm used to three months. Yeah, it does feel like we have to wait until the next millennia before

Formula One is allowed to roll back onto the telly. Actually, the only time I'd happily take

balance closer to 6040 in favor of the combustion engine by increasing ICE power and reducing battery
