Thank you for listening to the late breaking F1 podcast.

Make sure to tune in for new episodes every Wednesday and Grand Prix Sunday.

Hello and a very warm welcome to the late breaking F1 podcast presented by Harry Eid, Sam's Age and me, Ben Hocking.

French Grand Prix preview time. Ferrari coming off the back of two consecutive wins.

Carlos signed winning at Silverstone. Charler- winning at Austria, looking to make it three in a row. We're going to be previewing the race today.

We've got plenty to discuss as well. McLaren and their budget cap potential woes.

Gunter Steiner aiming for P6. Is that an achievable target for Hass?

We've got F1 back and forth later on in the episode two.

But most importantly, to get us going on this episode, Sam, in London, you've been coming

off the back of consecutive near 40-degree days.

Caller today, though, blessing the reins as if you were Toto, correct?

I mean, it has been Le Big Hot here in London and the rest of Europe.

And yes, I have called up, I've sent Toto an email, actually, Toto Wolf, because he does like to look at his emails and ask him to bless the raines down in south-west, southeast London, please. Harry got some

rain. Harry, you only had an absolute disaster with the outburst of rain as we were hearing just

before the podcast. So I'm glad it hit, I wish it hit me safely rather than hitting you in the way it did.

Yeah, I mean, so far this week I've uploaded, edited and uploaded a podcast that was missing 15 minutes on the end.

And then...

Sorry.

Sorry for that.

And then it was really hot, so I left my windows open and then it rained and it got all my

equipment wet when I say equipment that's not an innuendo it's like my microphone and

laptop and stuff so but but but your gammon's in the oven.
