| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the Fully Charged Plus Podcast. |
| 0:20.4 | Today's guest, Nico Rosberg, has been on fully charged before. |
| 0:26.2 | He drove Johnny Smith around a racing track in Silverstone in a hybrid plug-in, hybrid |
| 0:32.4 | Porsche speeds that were just terrifying. |
| 0:35.6 | I was there and watched it, I was very glad I wasn't in the car. |
| 0:38.6 | He's an extraordinary man, I think it's fair to say because I mean if you have no interest |
