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

Welcome to Mist Apex Podcast. I'm your host Richard Reddy, but my friends call me Spanners.

So, let's be friends. We've got a packed show ahead of the first race of 2023.

That's the Bahrain Grand Prix coming up on Sunday and coming up on this show,

we're going to be talking to a rising star on the mic in the feeder series and in Formula One.

Harry Benjamin is going to catch up with us to talk about the art of commentary and a little bit about his work in F1.

And then we are going to go through the bottom end of the teams.

We covered the top end quite a lot, but now we're going to look at the teams we think are going to be

maybe struggling a little bit more at the back, but fighting no less hard for their relative positions.

And then a bit later on, John O has assembled a team of crack Mist Apex panelists to look through the Drive to Survive series.

It's not a review of the Netflix Drive to Survive series, but they have found some stories and some angles

that give them the excuse really to recap a little bit of the 2022 season.

So look out for that, but first let me remind you that we're an independent podcast produced in the podcasting shed with the kind

permission of our better halves we aim to bring you a race review before your Monday morning commute.

We might be wrong, but we're first.

So here on Mist Apex podcast, we like having a punt at some analysis.

We fancy ourselves as armchair strategists and we've watched things long enough to make a reasonable guess.

And our guesses, although often wrong, are different enough that we're able to have a debate and a fight about it,

like when Matt incorrectly says this year's Renault's year, or he says this year's Renault's year,

our car's going to win and we all get to tell him he's wrong.

So you see our weakness is somewhat of a strength, but it's also very much a weakness as well.

So we like to bring you opinions from people who know what they're talking about occasionally.
