Hello everybody and welcome to O kebab shop Insights.

My name is Scott Mitchell Ma'am.

I'm joined by John Noble.

And that bleeping you can hear in the background is actually Josh Sutil, who is our waiter

for this evening.

If you are listening to this outside of the race members club, this is one of the

end-of-day wraps that we do during a Grand Prix weekend for members

of the members club where whoever is on site.

So from today it's myself and John debrief what we've learned at the track and in the

course of the today the Friday practice sessions. Often this takes the form of driving in a car.

Sometimes it's in another form of transport.

Today we are on foot because this is Monaco.

We use public transport for this race.

And we've decided to record this while perched on a step opposite a kebab shop, John.

Because times against us this evening isn't it yeah i've not

don't think i think this will be the first uh outside kebab shop insights uh yeah normally we're

driving to and from the circuit but monaco's a bit unique the easiest way the way i've done it for

years is you find somewhere to stay along the coast because monocke's too expensive to stay at

get the train in quite easy to and from but not much opportunities find somewhere to stay along the coast because Monaco is too expensive to stay at.

Get the train in. Quite easy to and from, but not much opportunity to eat food, especially this timetail being so late. Yeah, this was a tricky one, 5pm FP2 start, 6pm finish,

and then hours of looking through audio files, checking for information, running out to the paddut. We filmed a video for the YouTube channel as well. But I have to say, it was also an early start because we had lots of media sessions and engagements in the early hours of the day. So it's been a long day at the track. But I think it's been brilliant. Like, I'm knackered because there's just been so much going on.
