The race is on. Well, sort of. In keeping with the rest of the world, the latest F1 news is of things being postponed, with a Dutch, Spanish and Monaco Grand Prix called off. The 2021 technical regulation has been bumped back to 2022. The shutdown has been

brought forward. It's all happening in terms of Formula One effectively just shutting down for the

next few months. And what's more, this might not be the last negative impact coronavirus has as it

wreaks havoc with every aspect of life. I'm Ed Staw and joining me to discuss the implications

are Scott Mitchell and

Glenn Freeman. Scott, how's a life of isolation in Sweden? Yeah, it's pretty good. I went for a

nice long walk this morning, checked out the old Alfred Nobel Dynamite factory and the old bunkers that are carved out into the

into the hillsides down by the by down by Lake Meloran so I've had a pretty good first day in

in isolation to be honest and I've also got the toka to racing emulator the old PlayStation

one game I had an auspicious start to my Volvo career, had a massive

crash with teammate Ricard Rydell, so we're not on speaking terms at the moment. But other than that,

it's been a pretty good start to life away from the F1 track. Knowing Ricard, I'd say it's almost

impossible not to be on speaking terms with him, given his character. But Glenn Freeman, talking about you've been less

Tocke Tocca 2 and a bit more F-197. Yeah, I've been kind of split down the middle. I started with

F-197 before I got my hands on Toka. I'm 10 races into my second season, having a narrowly

missed out on the championship with Benetton switched to McLaren

but I'm now something like 30 points behind Villeneuve because, and this is quite realistic,

I suffered spectacular engine failures while leading the British and German Grand Prix. So

that's about right for McLaren in 97, very accurate. Well, it's going much better than my campaign

with Prost having booted Shinji

Nakano out of his seat, where I've shown good pace, but poor execution and a little

bit of bad luck.
