You are listening to Mist Apex Podcast. We live F1.

Welcome to Mist Apex Podcast. I'm your host Richard Reddy, but my friends call me Spanners.

So let's be friends, it's deep into the summer break I'm refreshed from a trip down to Cornwall.

I hope you're enjoying the summer as well, and it's the summer break so we don't have to concern ourselves if we don't want to

with the championship and championship stakes because we're answering your questions.

But if you are interested in some title maths, here we go. If Max Verstappen takes the full 26 points available in the next three events

and Perez was to fail to score, then Verstappen will require an eighth place finish in Japan to clinch the title with six events

left, tying that record with Michael Schumacher, who in 2001 also secured the title with six races to go.

But we can take a break from all of that. Let's kick off by answering your mailbag question.

So if everything goes wrong, if the contents rubbish be rest assured that it's all your fault because we're an independent

podcast produced in the podcasting shed with the kind permission of our better herbs. We aim to bring you a race review

before your Monday morning commute. We might be wrong, but we're first.

Now Matt Durantbrits compiled lovingly all your mailbag questions, but he's taking a break and he's been replaced with a shiny young Australian.

John O has it going, Jonathan, some on.

Good. I practiced my American accent. It was pretty bad. So I'll stick to Australian for now.

So we'll be Jonathan for today and not trumpets, but Verstappen six races remaining. That's like Michael Schumacher 2002 vibes almost.

Yeah, 2001. I think was the style was provided with by Chris Katmanteurner a moment ago.

And speaking of that, that is the next person to join us is Chris Katmanteurner. Hey, Chris.

Yeah, it was 2002. Sorry. Oh, sorry.

Oh, so you are quiz master threw me under the bus and fed me an incorrect stat.

That's that's how Crofty must feel when Sean Kelly, everyone's that man throws him a curve ball banana.

You should definitely be used to that by now. After our live quiz, where I didn't even get all the answers right.
