Thank you for listening to the late breaking F1 podcast.

Make sure to check out new episodes every Wednesday and every Sunday.

Hello. Hello and a very warm welcome to the late breaking F1 podcast presented by Harry Ead and me, Ben Hocking.

We've got a non-race episode today. Unfortunately, it's still only two of us. Good news for you, folks,

that are missing Sam, though. He's going to be back one episode sooner than we expected.

So on our next episode, you get your fix of Sam again. But at least until then, you're going to have to deal with the two of us once more. Harry, I'm worried. What are we going to do with

the question of the week jingle? Oh, I didn't even think of that. I mean, what did you do? I wasn't on the last midweek episode. Did you do a question? I don't know, we didn't do one. Well, we did a question of the week. Oh, no, I listened to it. You remixed it up. But Sam still kind of laid it out and I joined in. That's a very good point. What do we? I don't know. Is it sacrilege to go and do it? How am I? I don't know. I'll get over it. Also, I'd like to like quash any rumors because Sam is back on the next episode, which is Sunday, but I'm not.

I'd like to say that me and Sam were still on speaking terms, by the way this says.

We promise Canadian preview in a week's time, it will be the three of us.

And I think for the rest of the month, we're pretty much always all three of us from then on out. But you're right. Harry and Sam, there's massive tension backstage here at LB. Yeah. I mean, there is that one when being in Salmon, both at Glastow. But anyway, yeah, we'll work that out, I'm sure. Anyway, what have we got coming up on today's episode?

We're going to be discussing, we're going to go into the realm of IndyCar for a little bit because some comments from Willpower has caught our eyes.

So we're going to discuss that.

James Key has joined Alpha Romeo.

First of all, congratulations.

Not on getting the job, but for announcing it on a Wednesday. Really appreciate that. Gunter Steiner received a reprimand from the F-1 stewards at the weekend. We'll be discussing his comments that led to that. But we're going to start our discussion today with Lanchdroll. So coming out of the Spanish Grand Prix, looking at the Constructors' Championship. Of course, Red Bull are about

3,000 points ahead of everyone else. But if we're looking at the battle for P2, we've got Mercedes

on 152, Aster Martin on 134, and then Ferrari on a nice even 100 points. But if you're looking

at the driver's championship at the moment, Fernando Alonzo sits with 99 points in P3,

having had five podiums so far this year. Lance Stroll, no podiums to his name. He's down in

eighth place on 35 points. Now, we've heard Alonzo's comments that he thinks the gap between
