Welcome to Mist Apex podcast. It's our Chinese Grand Prix race review. I'm your host, Richard Reddy, but my friends call me Spanors. So let's be friends. If you want to hear my sprint race review, it's still available. I recorded it yesterday, and it's on all your pod capture feeds. Today, we will be focusing on the thrilling Chinese Grand Prix. And look, I'm the first to say that sometimes an F1 race is allowed to be boring.

However, I was promised chaos.

And I was really, really looking forward to it.

I told so many people to tune in.

The tyres are going to disintegrate.

We've got guys up front who might fall back.

We've got vast guys coming through. It's going to be just. We've got guys up front who might fall back. We've got vast

guys coming through. It's going to be just punching chaos from start to finish. And that just

goes to show, never hope for anything because life just disappoints and only gets worse. But there's

loads of interesting things to talk about, as in it's episode two of Formula One, 2025.

So lots of stories are unfolding.

Hands up in the audience, if you came here just to watch me eat humble pie about Piastri.

Christians put his hand up.

Come on, guys, come on.

You know I'm going to double down.

Why are you getting your hopes up? You know I'm going to double down. This is your fault. You click on the

episodes. No, it was a great day for Piastri, exactly the kind of conditions and races where

he excels. And the kind of races where his fans will point and go, look, that's what we see. That's what we see, Spanors.

Also, a little bit of an underperforming weekend for Norris, an amazing low-key start for Russell and Mercedes this weekend, and another scruffy weekend for Ferrari, who will be

disappointed despite a sprint win for Lewis Hamilton. We are an independent podcast produced in the podcasting shed

with the kind support of our patrons and partners.

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