| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to the Ringer F-1 show, part of the Ringer podcast Network. I am your host, Megan |
| 0:17.8 | Schuster, and we are here to talk about season eight of Drive to Survive. |
| 0:21.5 | I'm joined, as always, by Spanners. |
| 0:23.1 | And this show specifically is about episode three of season eight, the number one problem. |
| 0:30.3 | This one is all about McLaren. |
| 0:31.9 | This is the Lando versus Oscar feud, or I should say the start of it, |

| 1:20.9 | barbecue at Christian Horner's house kind of vibes or camping with ginger spice. We got a little bit |
| 1:26.9 | of that stuff this episode, though. |
| 1:28.2 | We got the tennis. |
| 1:29.7 | And then we also, with Landon Norris, got him and his buddies on a trip in Portugal, |
| 1:33.0 | where they're all sitting around having lunch. |
