Thank you for listening to the late breaking F1 podcast.

Make sure to tune in for new episodes every Wednesday and Grand Prix Sunday.

Hello and a very warm welcome to the late-breaking F-1 podcast presented by Harry Eid, Sam Sage, and me, Ben Hocking.

On today's episode, it's Transfer Talk.

We're talking about the possibility that Williams will pick up the option on Oscar Piastri on loan from Alpine next season. Is that, or would that be a good move for

Piastri and indeed both teams? Pierre Gazley, definitely in his seat until the end of

2003 at Alfa Tauri. Again, a discussion there as to whether it's good for Gassley and indeed the

team. And who will take P4, McLaren or Al P? That's all to come on today's episode.

On what I'm hoping will be a slightly more cordial episode, a nice friendly episode because

it got ugly. Me and Sam, front pages and newspapers all up and down the country here.

Infamous bust up between the two of us.

Are you calm?

I feel I've calmed down, son.

I mean, they're treating us, the public, the media,

treating us like two old-time crime bosses in New York or something, right?

Like we were going out like gang wars and the discord were divided and many casualties.

Harry's there crying in the corner, covered in booze and blood.

You know, it was a real war scene here.

But, yeah, I've mellowed.

I've punched a few walls and shouting at a few sausages, and I'm very much calm indeed.

Drank a few stella's.

It's what a bit. Thanks for a talk. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no.
