Summary
The copium dream continues at Ferrari, because Charles Leclerc has agreed to a new long-term contract! We wonder why Charles has committed to the team that promises so much - but delivers a bit less - as well as what his alternative options might have been. Plus, will he ever win the world title he probably deserves?

| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to the V1 podcast with Matt and Tommy Emergency Podcast. |
| 0:13.5 | Something we've not done for a little while and it's always exciting when you, it's like, Tommy, quick. |

| 0:29.0 | Well, they like to time it around certain races, don't they? |
| 0:32.3 | And it's all very, you know, managed and scheduled. |
| 0:37.0 | But it's fine. |

| 1:05.4 | So yes, the idea, the understanding, the rumours, whatever you want to call it, was that |
