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

We've got no race coming up this weekend, I'm afraid, but we then do have like 12 in a row after that,

so I'm sure we'll be thankful for at least one weekend without Formula One.

Anyway, we're into the European season soon enough.

I was expecting it to be just myself and Sam for this episode.

Sam, what's he doing here?

Look, the boy can't make up his mind, whether he's the light version, the paid version, he's come back off his holiday, another one, folks, that's right. He's still already just got home again. And he's starting to turn up, Harry, you've decided to make the effort. Nice to have you. That's keeping it on your toes, lads. You know, will I won't he? Will I won't he? that makes no sense. It's a great start. If you want to come on the show, you've got to be able to speak. Maybe I should have stayed away. I don't know. But anyway, as I'm sure you're all, as I'm sure you're all aware. Am I okay? Am I having a stroke? Go back on a day. Come back tomorrow. I'll come back to a house. Come back on Sunday. See you like that. Cheers, Harry. Appreciate that. Coming up on today's episode, we're going to be playing true or false. Full disclosure, I intended for it to just be for Sam with the sole purpose of embarrassing him. But unfortunately,

I get to embarrass both of them. Great. True or false is coming up later on. We can still

going to be talking Williams, still in 10th place in the championship. Will their fortunes turn

around? Why are they where they are? Shortened DRS zones at the last two Grand Prix.

Has it worked?

Is it a good idea for future races?

But we're going to start with Charles LeCler.

Is he too error prone to be a world champion?

Now, we've seen over the last two races, three separate crashes from Charles

Leclair, two of which happened in qualifying.

And of course, a very detrimental one in Miami qualifying on Sunday. So, Sam, the question is,

is he to error prone at this point in time to be a world champion, even if he had the car?

I mean, it's one of those things where you could definitely rely on recency bias. And I think a lot of Formula One Twitter is relying on recency bias, the uproar that happened across the internet where he crashed again. You know, people pulling out stats that they've never seemed to have heard of all of a sudden. He's crashed more times than Mick Schumacher last season, all of already. Watch the clear.

You know, you got him.
