| 0:00.0 | The race is on and the Formula One world is starting to stir ahead of the new season with the first sight of Sergio Perez in Red Bull Colours and Carlos Sites preparing for his first Ferrari test outing. |
| 0:17.0 | But what exactly is the status of these two drivers in their teams and what are the prospects for two drivers perceived as having been recruited as number two's? I'm Ed Straw and joining me |
| 0:26.1 | with all the answers are Scott Mitchell and Mark Hughes. Scott, hello, Sweden. You were just |
| 0:32.8 | telling us about your various shipping challenges as you attempt to accumulate an ever bigger, ever bigger library. |
| 0:38.8 | So are you on the wrong end of Brexit? |
| 0:42.2 | Yeah, I guess so. The customs charges of, they're extremely expensive at the moment. |
| 0:52.0 | Some of the stuff is sort of taking care of, especially if you book, especially if you buy it through like, like, a lot of stuff I bought |
| 0:58.2 | from eBay, for example, and there's some stuff there that they sort of, basically |
| 1:01.5 | it takes care of itself. |
| 1:02.9 | Like you pay it in the shipping charge. |

| 1:45.7 | least well that's that's laudable and you can't put a price on knowledge can you why should you |
| 1:50.6 | the customs agency can oh that's fair yes uh they've certainly done that and uh also joining us |
| 1:55.7 | mark hues of course a uh an award winning author of motorsport books or motorsport book or as you probably say, book or something. I'm quite master the language. Well, it's, it's double o is who. Um, otherwise it would be you. Um, but they, you're not alone in that. It seems to be most of, uh, Southern England talk like that. But yeah, yeah, I think I've got rather more than 15 books. |
| 2:19.9 | And I think with the ones in the loft, I worry about them landing on top of me when I'm asleep one night. |
