You are listening to Tech Time with Summers F1 presented by Mist Apex Podcast.

We Live F1.

I'm your host, Matt Trumpets, and this episode is called Shell Game, and I'm joined today

by the hardest working man in Tech F1, Matthew

Summerfield, assistant technical editor at motorsport.com, the man with a plan from Techie Stan,

and known to all the cool kids onto Intertubes as Summers F1. How's it going today, Summers?

It is going fantastic, Matt. Thank you very much. Yourself? It's going great. You know, I'm really excited. We haven't had the chance to chat properly since we briefly met for carting. That's true. We did shoot the breeze, though, over a couple of beers, so that's always a good thing to do. Yes. Well, you know, as always, I'm trying to keep the show short. I'm afraid, however, it might turn out a bit like our chat, done it 4 a.m. and writing the tab off to Spanner's room number. Oops, don't tell him that, please. Speaking of Spaners, I need to remind everyone we are an independent podcast produced in the podcasting shed with the kind permission of our better halves.

We aim to bring you a race review before your Monday morning commute.

We might be wrong, but we're first.

So, Summers, you've had some big, exciting Formula One adventures, and I have to admit,

you did not invite me on those, but you actually went to two races.

You went to spa and you went to Monsas.

So I thought maybe

we could start by talking a little bit about that. Spa was up first. And so I just, as a fan of the

sport, I mean, I know you're an expert as well, but wherever you are in your Formula One journey,

you're always kind of a fan too. But as a fan, how did you find Spa?

What did you think of the experience there? Well, to be honest, as you say, Matt, we're all fans of

the sport, whether we're involved in it to the level that I am or beyond. We are just purely

fans of the sport. And to be honest, this was a really good trip in that respect because it allowed me

not to do too much work and actually focus on some of the things that I wanted to do.

I've been wanted to go to spa for a number of years. So when the opportunity arose to do this

road trip, which I went out in the camper van. It was a fantastic trip around Europe.
