Music Hello, welcome to the Ringer F1 show, part of the Ringer podcast network.

I am your host, Megan Schuster, and we are here to talk about season eight of Drive to Survive.

I'm joined as always by Spanors, and this show is about episode 8 of season 8 called Call Me Chuckie.

This episode is all about the final two races, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, with the three-way fight going on.
