Welcome to Miss Apex Podcast. I'm your host Richard Spanners Ready and I'm joined in this

off-season, pre-season, post- season by Matt.

Drumpits, how's it going, Matt?

Are we pre-season or post-season?

I think we're transition season.

We're definitely...

End of last season is done. The new rules have come into effect, but we're not

quite close enough to pre-season testing to like really sort of taste it if you

know what I mean. It's just a faint glimmer on the horizon right now. So this is this weird, awkward

transition. All right, so when do we say it's pre-season? I think it's pre-season when we start seeing liveries? That's a good indication, isn't it? I think once you're about two weeks out from

pre-season testing, it's pre-season. Until then, it's just this weird amorphous blob, which I will will say I do you remember last year where we had we just came up with all this content and this year I'm noticing there's like a difference in the amount of information that's flowing and I think it may be

pandemic related the journalists are all at home not as many people are traveling so I

don't know about you but I am finding it a bit more of a challenge sometimes to pry stories out of the internet sphere

as it were for us to talk about.

There's definitely loads to talk about. We did have a guest lined up for this week who couldn't make it this week but we've got

quite a few people that you'll be interested in hearing from coming up in what I

think will still be an extended off-season I'm assuming the testing time hasn't

changed so testing kind of indicates the start of the

season but then we're going to have a weird gap then to Bahrain.

Yeah well because they're testing in the Middle East now I think to just because I guess Europe's a mess I don't know it was

simpler save the money save the save the ecosphere there's less carbon emissions
