| 0:09.0 | And they were right. |

| 0:30.0 | Hello and welcome to another WTF1 podcast. I'm Katie and I'm joined by Tommy and today we're going to be talking about the potential of a 30 race F1 calendar, which I'm just thinking about it brings me out on a cold sweat. |
| 0:47.0 | Now we're talking about it because this morning my social media was in absolute meltdown as SkyF1 shed an interview with F1 CEO Stephanie Minnickali and in it he was talking about the calendar and how it might look in the future. |

| 2:20.0 | There were talks of a Vegas race and it just sort of never kind of materialized but. |
| 2:25.0 | Tommy, I feel like this announcement is probably quite imminent and would make a third US race on the calendar. |
