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

Welcome to Miss Apex Podcast. I'm your host Richard Spanner's ready and I'm joined by Matt.

To Rumpets, welcome back to the Shed Matt.

Well, thank you. It's nice to be here on an off-beat, finally.

Well, yeah, I know they have a bit of a race break from the races. We've been handing out our Halloween candy, a tradition, brought to our shores by you people.

Yes, and our clever, awesome, and fascinating inventions.

Yeah, it's all right. It's good fun. The kids go around, they end up getting candy from the neighbours.

We have a good system if you have a pumpkin, that means you can knock on the door. If not, you get left alone.

I thought that means approach with caution, but you're not fessing up the real reasons you're like Halloween so much.

Candy, the parent tax, the parent tax. Yeah, you do get some and they have to go to bed at some time. They can't guard it all night.

But we have got a fascinating show, I hope, coming up for you this week. I've got a plan you see. I want to do some tech, but we're going to save that for the second half of the show.

We're going to have 45 minutes of news first. We're going to talk about some of the stewarding decisions, revisit what we think the rules are around the

Kimi Raikonen and Fernando Alonzo Gironazzi type incidents. We're going to talk about the championship because we've got some, some championship maths to figure out as well.

We're going to lay on the line where we want to be, which team do we want to be on? Where do we want to put our money?

We're going to have a look at the fascinating battle for third place in the constructors championship because I think that's going to be every bit as thrilling as the championship battle, frankly.

And also we're going to have a look at some of the underperforming teams and a bit of driver news and maybe some team news if we have time and then we'll go on to the tech, which will consist of

water season, tire, squat and stuff. But hey Matt, a couple of interesting things. How do you feel when you find out that people from within F1 might be listeners to the show?

I think that is awesome and I'm very impressed with us. I always feel ridiculous because I don't mind speculating wildly with a bunch of other F1 fans and then them speculating too. That feels okay.

But suddenly when you know there's grownups listening, you go, oh, and you start analysing, oh my goodness, I've slated the driver from that team so much.

Oh, maybe the people listening have in their minds done the same. Maybe they have. So we've had over the years we've had people from teams and we're talking about Derek and engineering here.

We're not talking about Toto Wolfen and Christian Horner who just enjoy having an F1 podcast to listen to. But recently I had two new bits of feedback.

One was from the lower end of the grid and it was an engineer who said, just wanted to tell you enjoy listening to your show.
