Welcome to Mist Apex Podcast.

The title of today's show is Red Bull Power Pains.

That provided by Engine Mode 11 on Twitter and runner up from Richard Burrows was Red Bull Power Flames.

That's two puns, see? I'm not anti-pun, but I am your host, Richard Spanners,

ready? Welcome to the Australian Race Review.

Bluey-eyed European set alarms and dripped coffee into their veins.

And I spent the night on the sofa in an attempt to avoid my spouse's early morning wrath,

and then my 5am buzzer buzzed, and I thought, this had better be brilliant.

And you know what? For an Albert Park race, it was pretty good.

And I'll ask you, Fed up of F1's billionaire club,

we aim to bring you a race review before your Monday morning commute.

We might be wrong, but we're first.

Because I can't shake him, I'm joined as I so often am by Matt to Rumpets.

I'm currently practicing holding my breath for the entirety of my upcoming eight-hour transatlantic flight.

You're henceed, this is possible.
