Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 podcast with Matt and Tommy. We are coming to you live

from Denver, whether you're watching or listening to us. We are doing our North America

Delusion tour. We've had a few shows already. It's been awesome. Thank you to those of you that have turned up for those. We've, of course, got shows coming up as well. So if you're in Denver on Monday, then come along to the show. We're also doing shows in Dallas, Toronto, Chicago and New York. New York, unfortunately, is sold out. But the other ones have a few tickets left if you'd like to come and see us

live as the championship. It's weird, isn't it? Doing a few shows. Now I've got the dynamic of the

championship changing again as we then go into our next batch of shows. And it feels, I'm feeling

the energy of less optimistic Tommy. Not that I've ever really seen an optimistic Tommy.

Yeah. It's managed to be even

worse. Yeah, I don't know how you do it as a pro fan, to be honest, because I feel awful after that. And I don't know how you do it every single. Yeah, it is the hope that kills you. Yeah, it is the hope that kills you. Even in that session, you know, he went, you went purple at one point. And I was you know, dreaming and then it all went wrong.

We will get into more of the feelings later on for sure.

But let's start right at the... I was near dreaming and then it all went wrong. We will get into more of the feelings later on for sure.

But let's start right at the beginning of Sprint Quali and Q1 where the bottom five were

Colapinto, Lawson, Sonoda, Ocon and Sines.

Now of course, there was chatter, wasn't there about rain.

Are we going to get rain this weekend and

there was a chance of rain every single day this weekend no rain for sprint to

quali no rain for FP1 either and the the bottom five unsurprisingly you know as much as

yuki sonoda my my guy wow i mean course, had a disaster in free practice one,

had that spin, lost quite a bit of time to do the practice and set up the car for the literal

rest of the weekend, although of course you can change after the sprint race where Park Fermé gets

lifted. But for Sonoda, I am not surprised in the slightest that he did not make it out of Q1.

Of course, all of his struggles he's had, as we've spoken about many, many times, but also how close Brazil is in qualifying anyway.

And Q1 in particular. You know, we talk about Q1 many, many times and how it can be so close across the whole 20 drivers.
