Hello, welcome to the Ringer F1 show, part of the Ringer podcast network.

0:48.4

I am your host, Megan Schuster, and we are here today to ask some questions, specifically the biggest questions we have about F1 going into what I have personally decided to call

0:52.8

the sports spring break.

0:55.2

There's no more racing until we get to Miami in May, so we have a lot of time to stew in
