Hello and a very warm welcome to the late breaking F1 podcast presented by Sam Sage and me, Ben Hocking, on what is today, the Miami Grand Prix preview.

Sam, you're off your holiday now, but from swimming in centre parks, are you going to go swimming in the marina now in Miami?

I mean, swimming in the marina is tough. I will just look a bit like Patrick the star when he rides the back of our, Patrick Swayze, is it? No, who is it? Is it the Hoth?
