| 0:33.0 | Hello everybody, welcome back to the that time when podcast. It's been a while since I've said hello everybody. |
| 0:39.0 | And joining me once again for another episode is Tommy and Dan. Hello Tommy and Dan. Hello. Hello. |
| 0:45.0 | How are we both? We get not too shabby, not too shabby, Dan. I'm doing. |
| 0:50.0 | Ready to talk about Formula One once again. Right today we are going to be talking about that time when Nelson P.K. crashed on purpose. |
| 1:00.0 | Dun dun dun. Get out of my head. Wow. Okay. That was actually really weird. That wasn't even planned. |
| 1:07.0 | Right. So we can talk about the very controversial incident that happened in the first ever Singapore Grand Prix, the first ever Formula One night race. |

| 2:23.0 | Yeah, they're taking where it was. Before this race, did they did Alonzo score a podium for this race? |
| 2:29.0 | I don't think he had. No. P.K. had there. Hadn't he? |
| 2:32.0 | Oh, yeah. A very lucky safety car race in Hockenheim, but that was pretty much his only point scoring. |
