Hey, it's Martin. I'd like to start the podcast today in Memorium for not one but two people,

somebody who made a huge impact on Formula One and somebody at the beginning of their motorsport career.

Last night, Bob Fernley passed away just 70 years old, best known perhaps for his 10 years as the deputy team principal of Force India, Formula One team, owned by Vijay Malia, who was team principal, but he was rarely at races. And it was Bob Fernley, who led that team in the Formula One paddock, a key player during tumultuous times. And they earned their voice in Formula One, the old phrase of punching above their weight. He really did drag Force India to places where they had no right being with their budgets that they had, putting drivers like Fissie and Perez on the podium multiple times and fourth place finishes

in the World Championship in 2016 and 2017.

A lifelong motorsport fan and running teams in the US and in Formula One as well.

He would go on to run McLaren's Indie car project and then be the FIA's head of

the single-seater commission until 2020. It's enormously sad news that we said goodbye to Bob yesterday,

so young as well. And someone at the start of their career earlier on today, we heard that an 18-year-old

called Delano Vant Hof died in the Formula Regional crash. They're racing at Spa and it's an accident that unfortunately we have seen before.

Terrible weather.

When I say terrible weather, I mean just zero visibility as the safety car pulled in.

Watched him in the last lap of the race.

The second place driver spun Delano Van Hoff was a long way back in the pack,

but also lost control at the top of Radion and in no visibility was sadly hit by another car.

Awful, awful news to come out of once again spa, once again bad weather, once again a young driver.

Just unthinkably sad news.

But I wanted to start the podcast by paying tribute today.

And plenty of people have, Formula 2, had a minute silence at the beginning of their event

today in Austria, led by Stefano Domenicali.

And then all the drivers paid tribute.

Let's go to reigning Formula One world champion Max Verstappen, who tweeted,

extremely sad to hear the news about Delano today.
