Before this BBC podcast kicks off, I'd like to tell you about some others you might enjoy.

My name's Will Wilkin and I Commission Music Podcast for the BBC.

It's a really cool job, but every day we get to tell the incredible stories behind songs,

moments and movements, stories of struggle and success, rises and falls, the funny, the ridiculous.

And the BBC's position, at the heart of British music

means we can tell those stories like no one else.

We were, are and always will be right there at the centre of the narrative.

So whether you want an insightful take on music right now

or a nostalgic deep dive into some of the most famous and infamous moments in music,

check out the music podcasts on BBC Sounds.

BBC Sounds, music, radio podcasts.

Hello and welcome to Check and Flag Extra. We're back for your F1 Fix in non-race weeks, giving you exclusive content

from drivers and team principals past and present. A reminder that you can listen back to our

review of the Canadian Grand Prix on BBC Sounds for in-depth analysis of that race. Make

sure you're subscribed to BBC Sounds as well and have push notifications turned on in your

phone settings so you never miss a new episode. This week we'll be hearing from Mercedes

Reserve driver Valtari Bottas who discusses everything from his early days in racing,

meeting Toto Wolf, becoming Lewis Hamilton's teammate and much more.

I'm Harry Benjamin and I'm joined by the BBC's F1 correspondent Andrew Benson.

Andrew, firstly, we didn't actually hear from you after our Canadian Grand Prix review because I think you had to dash off and catch a flight home.

So what did you make of the race?

And of course, that McLaren collision.
