| 0:09.9 | We're going to be diving into all three championship contenders across three bonus podcast episodes. |

| 0:27.6 | Oh, we're getting down to crunch time now, aren't we, Tom Bellingham? |
| 0:32.4 | Insane. Yeah, as we've said many times before, like, drink it in and soak it up because this happens so rarely in Formula One. So I hope you're looking forward to this one.

| 1:46.2 | He wasn't two, three race victories ahead. |
