You are listening to Mist Apex Podcast. We live F1.

Welcome to Mist Apex Podcast. I'm your host Richard Ready,

but my friends call me Spanner, so let's be friends today.

We've got a very important task. We're going to fix F1.

Because F1's broken, right? It's in the dirt and only Mist Apex and its listeners can save it.

I mean, it isn't, but we complain most about the things we love, right?

Okay, so let's complain constructively. I have in the palm of my hands 50 tweets from you guys

suggesting how to fix F1. Of course, we won't get through all of them

because we have a very strict one-hour time limit on this show.

But I've been watching F1 a long, long time.

And as far as F1 regulations go, I have lived many lives and served many masters.

I preached on the altar of grooved tires whilst others threw shoes at me for saying such things.

I stood on the protest lines against refueling. I stood shoulder to shoulder with Enzo Ferrari

at the increasing dominance of aerodynamics.

Okay, I am a bit young for that one, but I was definitely right there in the trenches in 2014

when people were complaining about lap times and then being very close to F2.

I said, no, please, it's okay. Let them find their way.

But we lost that fight and that led to the 2017 regulations.

The worst regulations in F1 history were released that prioritized arrow, arrow, arrow

and every single person on this panel is shaking their head at me on the Zoom call

at everything I've just said. But look, I have a passion for F1.

I love F1. I live F1. But I have opinions.
