The race is on, and although we're facing a weight of some months before the Formula One season finally gets up and running, when it does get started, those watching will have access to more analysis and insight than ever, be it on television broadcasts and videos, websites,

0:21.3

podcasts, whatever. Many of those you'll hear from will have some kind of racing pedigree,

0:26.1

but how does that influence what they have to offer? I'm Ed Straw and joining me to delve into this

0:30.6

topic, Karin Chandok and Scott Mitchell. Scott, first up, how are you enjoying the relative

0:36.5

freedom of Sweden? You're not in a full

0:38.5

lockdown there unlike most of the rest of us, are you? No, and depending on who you ask,

0:42.8

this is a massively controversial topic. Obviously, I'm happy that I'm allowed to go outside,

0:50.8

but I'll be honest with you, been've been pretty busy with stuff and it's actually

0:55.3

been kind of like business as normal here because he spent most of the time indoors working

1:00.4

and then trips outside are sort of fairly few and far between. So I'd like to get to the point

1:06.1

where I could take advantage of job it more. But to be honest with you, I think if I was, I'd probably

1:10.6

feel a little bit uncomfortable with it. You see and hear all sorts of stories about people being stuck, not being able to see friends and family and stuff like that. And I happen to live somewhere where you're pretty much allowed to do what you want. And that makes me, it makes me feel a little bit uncomfortable. I'm not going to lie. Now, Karun, hello. You're one of the world's leading motorsport super fans. I think it's fair to say.

1:32.7

So how are you getting a competitive fix, given your housebound for all but the 58 minutes, as you said on Twitter today, you were able to roam around outside?

1:42.0

Well, Ed, like you, I'm a big cricket fan, and I've caught up on loads of

1:46.2

different things that have been recorded on my Skybox over the summer. I watched the replay of the

1:51.1

last two hours of the Headingley Test with Ben Stokes' amazing performance yesterday. I saw The Edge,

1:58.5

which was a documentary, I think, on Amazon Prime.

2:00.8

Yeah, that's very good. Yeah, I watched that one. It's very good. And I also saw the test. Have you seen that? It's an eight-part documentary on the Australian cricket team. Very, very good shows. So, yeah, I've been watching lots of cricket to keep me entertained. And then chasing my 15-month old round, who's just started taking his first steps. So, yeah, it's pretty

2:18.4

flat out at the moment. I presume is he showing any signs of cricketing ability? That's what you

2:23.5

should be training him up for. I can't rely on the motor racing jeans. Cricket, table tennis,

2:29.2

anything that's going to be cheaper for dad, basically, yeah. I was thinking actually, maybe
