Hey guys, Spaners here. It's the last show of 2024 and we are dropping in because unbelievably,

there is still news and stories coming out in the Formula One world. And we have some reckons.

We have some stuff that our patrons reckon. But I set a rule. It cannot be about 2024,

Big dirty news.

Okay, so there is some serious news, and I do want to discuss the new signing, which I think if we'd have said three months ago, you'd have gone, oh, actually Red Bulls bringing in Hajar to Alpha Tauri, a lot of people might say, sorry, a visa cash app, a lot of people would have been surprised by that in the same way we were a bit surprised by Colapinto, maybe less so, because
