Hello and welcome to the WTF One podcast. I'm your host James Coco along with Ash Van DeLay.

Ash, how we doing?

I'm doing great. How are you doing?

I'm doing it right. I had a pretty crazy few weeks last week. My kid and my wife were pretty sick, but they're feeling better now. Things were pretty

chill this week. But we had F1 season testing the last three days. I don't know if you watched

any of it live because it was pretty late for you on the east coast of the United States. But I would

tune in around 11 p.m. my time in Los Angeles and watch for about

two hours or so until like one or 1.30 a.m. and then go to sleep. Did you get a chance to watch

any of testing? No. It's the same thing with practice. Like I just don't care. I mean, I care about enough. Sorry,

I shouldn't have said that. I do care where I'm like, we obviously have notes to talk about the

testing today and like what's happened and the results and like what are people doing, the flow

viz, the ranks, et cetera, and all the things that they're what's happening and any mysterious

upgrades that we see any changes. But like to watch it live knowing that we

100% don't know what's happening, that lap times don't really matter that much. It's just like,

let me see at the end of the three days, whose car survived X number of laps. Like, let me see

the totality of it all instead of going down into the macro of like all the little things. So

yeah, just like that. Like practice, I'll take a look at it. The only thing I really

care about a lot is qualifying in the race for like my analysis thing. Otherwise, I don't know what

they're doing in practice slash now this testing. I don't know what they're trying to, what

setup they have. I don't know what car they're actually going to end up with in Australia.

Even Red Bull bought upgrades today that were different than what they tested the previous two days. So like it feels like

a moot point at sometimes. But yeah. No, long story short, I did not watch it live.
