| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to the B1 podcast with Matt and Tommy. |
| 0:10.8 | If you'd thought there weren't enough episodes before, why don't we add another one to the catalogue? |
| 0:17.0 | Because Red Bull were like, hey, there's not a lot going on for this upcoming Abu Dhabi finale. |
| 0:24.3 | They went, okay, driver announcement, here we go. It's been, of course, spoken about a hell of a lot. |
| 0:30.9 | Who's staying, who's going, and so on and so forth. And we finally have confirmation, Tommy. |

| 1:22.6 | now, now is the time to announce. Anyway, the actual news that you've all come here for is that Isaac Hadjar is going to Red Bull Racing alongside Max Verstappen. |
| 1:34.8 | And Arvid Lindblad is to join Liam Lawson at Racing Bulls. |
| 1:41.0 | Let's get into our first thoughts. |
| 1:42.8 | How are we feeling? |
| 1:43.7 | What are our emotions? For me, |
| 1:45.6 | it's not a massive surprise. This is what has been rumoured for a very long time. We have |
