| 0:00.0 | The race is on, and the epic fight for the 2021 Formula One World Championship will finally be decided |
| 0:12.5 | in this weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. But will it be Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton who |
| 0:17.2 | prevails? And what are the chances of it all ending in controversy, given how fractures the battle between them has been this year? I'm Ed Straw, and joining me to get excited about the most thrilling F1 title showdown in years, a Scott Mitchell and Mark Hughes. Scott, how excited do you? You look thrilled. Yeah, no, I am, I am. I can't wait for it to get started. We're going to have to get through. |
| 0:38.7 | I have to wade through a little bit of noise before we get to the stuff that really matters, not just this podcast. |
| 0:44.7 | But the fact that Lewis Hamilton and Matspur Stappen are going to be appearing alongside one another as the conclusion to Thursday's FIA press conferences. |

| 1:31.4 | maybe a little bit of Monaco. |
| 1:35.8 | So, yeah, a completely different scale of interest this time around to when Emerson, Fidipaldi and Claire Regazzoni went to Watkins, Glenn, to fight it out. |
| 1:41.9 | It's amazing. |
| 1:42.6 | Like, the scale of interest in this is just, |
| 1:45.9 | is just ridiculous. Like, I know we've got like a few different mediums in which people |
| 1:50.7 | can engage in the stuff that we do, but you see it across whether it's people like to read |
