| 0:00.0 | The Athletic. |
| 0:02.7 | The race is on, and Formula One's next big controversy is already building some momentum, |
| 0:15.4 | centering on the possibility of Porsche and Audi coming into F1 in 2026. But isn't that a good thing and what exactly is causing |
| 0:22.7 | the latest padding arguments? I'm Ed Shaw and joining me to unravel this web of intrigue, |
| 0:27.5 | a Scott Mitchell and Mark Hughes. Scott, hello, you've come dressed for a football match. |
| 0:33.4 | I thought I'd just enjoy a rare bit of time back in, back home after the quite crazy run of |
| 0:39.7 | travelling for the early flyways by, um, rep in Stockholm on the, on the podcast. So yeah, |
| 0:46.1 | I'm wearing my Yurgledan football shirt. But actually, as we sit here and record this now, |
| 0:50.8 | our big Stockholm rivals, Hammabee, have literally just kicked off their Easter weekend match. |
| 0:56.5 | This is a big one because I went to a Hammaby match, or Hammarby, I should say, a few years ago |

| 1:22.7 | good. I think that's the summary. Oh, that's a bit unfair. Depends which part of English football |
| 1:27.0 | you're talking about. Well, that's a good question. Depends which part of English football you're talking about. |
| 1:26.6 | Well, that's a good question, good question. Let's say it's at least lower profile than English football. That's probably the thing we can all agree on. But, well, agreement is something we're going to be talking about quite a lot during this podcast or the lack thereof. So, Scott, let's get down to it. There's been a lot of talk about Portia Naudi coming into F1 for ages. |
| 1:44.7 | Even before that, fans have been frustrated by mooted plans for them to come |
| 1:50.6 | in, coming to absolutely nothing. So what exactly is the plan? And actually, should fans be |
| 1:55.1 | excited by the prospect or cynical, given the series of disappointments over the... |
