| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 podcast with Matt and Tommy, or should we say |
| 0:12.2 | Matt and depressed Tommy. Matt and pessimistic Tommy. Matt are not even half glass full |
| 0:18.1 | Tommy. Championship is over. Should we should we just 2026 just scrap the next |
| 0:24.1 | four races after this one yeah exactly it's over the dreams no you might be surprised |
| 0:30.3 | I'm maybe not as pessimistic as many other people maybe but obviously it's, it's not been the best session for the championship, or is it? |

| 1:40.4 | drivers of the season. So to jump on a kind of Carlos is now better than Alex |
| 1:45.8 | narrative, I don't think is fair after what Alex has put down this entire season and helped |
