Speaker 1: It is the best, the elite of motor sports, the
Speaker 1: thing that everyone is aiming for. The stakes are so
Speaker 1: incredibly high it doesn't scare you. Then it's not veg enough.
Speaker 1: From my Heart Radio and Sports Illustrated Studios, this is
Speaker 1: choosing sides one. Wow. Formula one is much more than
Speaker 1: a car race. It merges together man and machine in
Speaker 1: a rich people's playground where the line between life and
Speaker 1: death is razor thin. WHOA, this is off to a
Speaker 1: dramatic start. I'm selling it right. Putting aside all of
Speaker 1: the theatrics, Formula one has captivated billions of people worldwide
Speaker 1: over the past seventy two years. However, it's only now
Speaker 1: gaining a serious foothold in the States. But even if
Speaker 1: you've already started watching F one, you might still be
Speaker 1: missing the nuances, the history, and the teams. I ask
Speaker 1: you this, do you even have a favorite driver? That's
Speaker 1: where we come in. I'm Willie Herman, a walking pop
Speaker 1: culture encyclopedia and Formula one expert, and I'm Michael Costa, comedian,
Speaker 1: former pro tennis player, current Daily Show correspondent. And I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna be honest here, I have not seen five
Speaker 1: seconds of a Formula one race, Lily, What the heck
Speaker 1: am I doing here? Well, you're in the right place, Michael,
Speaker 1: because by the time we're done here, you'll not only
Speaker 1: be an F one whiz, but you'll be ready to
Speaker 1: declare your loyalty to a team and a driver. Who
Speaker 1: are these drivers? Rich kids? I'm very interested in the steering?
Speaker 1: Is it just men when they say box? Does that
Speaker 1: mean pit daddy issues? Daddy issues galore. We'll get into
Speaker 1: the rules, technology and on track rivalry. Shut up, but
Speaker 1: we'll also get into the salacious stories you need to
Speaker 1: know to truly understand the sport. Jesus witness, intimidation and conspiracy.
Speaker 1: We are off to a great start. By the end
Speaker 1: of our time together, Michael will pick his team and driver.
Speaker 1: He seems like a whiny over ACTI team principle, and
Speaker 1: hopefully you will too. I am willing to be convinced.
Speaker 1: I'm willing to to become a fan of the sport.
Speaker 1: But if I don't just give that away, listen to
Speaker 1: Choosing Sides F one on the I Heart radio app,
Speaker 1: Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Is that
Speaker 1: what they say in the podcast? Bas I'm a TV
Speaker 1: guy I don't know,
