0:00.0	This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network.
0:04.7	Thank you for listening to the Late Breaking F1 podcast.
0:08.2	Make sure to check out new episodes every Wednesday and every Sunday. Hello and a very warm welcome to the late breaking F1 podcast presented by Harry Eid, Sam Sage, and me, Ben Hocking.
0:34.1	It's a Wednesday.
0:35.1	Sadly, there's no race this weekend, but it doesn't mean we're not here for some F1 chat, Sam.
0:40.5	Plenty of F1 chat.
0:41.6	Some good news.
0:43.2	I meant more like I said like, excuse me to talk about not good day.
0:46.6	It's a big day for us.
0:48.7	Podcast Day.
0:50.5	Yay!
0:51.6	That is good news, actually.
0:52.7	Podcast Day.

1:23.1	We know the people love that. We've got talk of the new Baku deal, so we've just had a race in
1:29.0	Azerbaijan, but we'll be continuing to race there until 2030. The sprint calendar has been
1:34.9	revealed for 2026. Our thoughts on that a little bit later on. But we thought would start this
1:40.1	episode with Red Bull, who are coming off two straight wins for Vastappen and indeed the
1:45.3	team. And it's the first time since Spain and Canada of last year that they've been able to do
