Speaker 1: Hello, yo, Hi, It's Michael Costa from remember F one?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, how's it going?
Speaker 1: Well? Personally it's fine, but this F one stuff I
Speaker 1: don't I don't get it. It's now a good time
Speaker 1: to talk. Can I call you back? Look, I don't
Speaker 1: get what's going on. You got me into Formula one
Speaker 1: last year I reluctantly became a fan. Okay, okay, and
Speaker 1: Ferrari sucks.
Speaker 3: This is my team.
Speaker 1: This is embarrassing. I picked them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean you picked them exactly. We didn't
Speaker 2: make you pick them. We kind of told you they suck.
Speaker 1: You kind of told me that they were a big team.
Speaker 1: And George Russell, he's cute and all, but put up
Speaker 1: a result. We got to stand behind your tee because
Speaker 1: now you got me into it, and so I'm kind
Speaker 1: of My Instagram is buzzing. I'm getting the headlines, but
Speaker 1: I don't know what the ship is going on. What's
Speaker 1: up with the tires. I've changed tires once in my life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not the same thing.
Speaker 1: The buttons on the steering wheel looks like a video
Speaker 1: game controller. What is each button do? What's an undercut?
Speaker 1: What's an overcut? Why are they driving in the rains,
Speaker 1: these celebrities in the paddock. What is the paddock? What
Speaker 1: all these graphs and screens that the engineers are staring at?
Speaker 1: Who's driving the fucking cars? The engineers or the driver?
Speaker 1: What else do the people who do the pit stops do?
Speaker 1: Is that all they do? They work for two seconds.
Speaker 1: That's a great job. I wish I had that job.
Speaker 1: I know just enough now that I know that I
Speaker 1: don't know anything, and I blame you for that. YOHI
Speaker 1: is that every going to say your name? Michael? I
Speaker 1: need information, Dude. You can't just turn me into a
Speaker 1: fan and then leave.
Speaker 2: I hear you. I'm in the middle here.
Speaker 1: Sorry, go back to your family thing. I just am
Speaker 1: confused and I'm angry, and I have you to blame
Speaker 1: for it. For my heart Podcast one on one Studios
Speaker 1: and Sports Illustrated Studios, This is choosing sides.
Speaker 4: Yes one, Wow, do.
Speaker 1: We win some word? Last year.
Speaker 2: We were nominated for two different awards.
Speaker 1: I think those things were all bullshit, but whatever. Still
Speaker 1: when you win them, it's nice.
Speaker 2: Yep, total bullshit.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's do it. That's Tony.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 1: Last season, Lily guided me into this incredible sport and
Speaker 1: helped me choose my affiliation, Lily. Yes, I need some
Speaker 1: ownership over somebody, a team, a car, and that's missing.
Speaker 6: Well, have I got a podcast for you.
Speaker 1: You know, to give a little skin in the game.
Speaker 1: So I knew what was going on, and I chose aside,
Speaker 1: you chose.
Speaker 5: Sorry, my condolences.
Speaker 1: Why the fuck am I so unlucky?
Speaker 2: Why the fuck am I so unlucky.
Speaker 5: Turning out for you?
Speaker 1: Looking back? If I could go back in time, maybe
Speaker 1: I would revisit that decision.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, oh my fuck it.
Speaker 1: And then George was my driver. I even got a
Speaker 1: George Russell tattoo. Okay, stop, I feel lost.
Speaker 5: I think I know what your problem is. Just regarding
Speaker 5: Formula one, I say, we've just met each other. This
Speaker 5: is therapy one on one.
Speaker 1: Let's go.
Speaker 5: I think you haven't figured out yet exactly what type
Speaker 5: of Formula one fan you are and could be.
Speaker 1: I don't understand. You mean there's different types of fans. Oh, yes,
Speaker 1: so Tony, you can help me figure this out. You
Speaker 1: can help me figure out what type of f one
Speaker 1: fan I am.
Speaker 5: Oh, have I got a show for you?
Speaker 1: Are you going to be doing that accent? This whole
Speaker 1: part yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, start, We'll stuck with this one, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Before we keep going. Who are you?
Speaker 5: It's a good questions when I ask myself every day.
Speaker 5: We have just wrapped the ass AJP, Tony, Caen Brown,
Speaker 5: Hugh Tony. Hi, I'm f on Tony, but you can
Speaker 5: also call me just Tony. I'm a tech and Formula
Speaker 5: one commentator coming to you live from the Effie Paddock
Speaker 5: and the Miami GP. Live from the inaugural Formula one
Speaker 5: Vegas GP.
Speaker 8: I don't know if you can actually hear me because
Speaker 8: the audience and the fans have been so incredible the
Speaker 8: whole weekend. I'm an avid Formula one fan and have
Speaker 8: been since nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 5: Wow, that I just age myself massive.
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't mean it like that. I just meant
Speaker 1: I just wasn't introduced.
Speaker 4: To it last year.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 5: But has it been fun?
Speaker 1: It's been fun? But man, there's a lot of questions.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, there's a lot of answers to it. That's
Speaker 5: the beauty of it.
Speaker 1: And do you do you feel like you have a
Speaker 1: lot of those answers?
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm in, You're in, I'm all in and great, Okay,
Speaker 5: let's get cracking.
Speaker 2: Michael, do you I mean, I know you're a celebrity, but
Speaker 2: this is radio, so they can't see you. Do you
Speaker 2: want to introduce yourself as well?
Speaker 1: Well, Hi, my name's Michael Costa and I'm back for
Speaker 1: season two of Choosing Sides is back in sound. I
Speaker 1: explain this in the first season. Any activity where you
Speaker 1: have to perform under pressure, I love watching humans step
Speaker 1: up or fall in a moment of pressure fascinates me.
Speaker 1: And man is f one like the ultimate of that
Speaker 1: because if you if you mess up, there's there's real consequences.
Speaker 1: It's not like tennis, my sport, where if you mess
Speaker 1: up you hit the ball in the net.
Speaker 9: I know there's been some debate on Twitter about the
Speaker 9: Miss of the Year.
Speaker 10: I think we have a new nominee who cares. Goodness
Speaker 10: me stug what's from Tomovitch?
Speaker 1: But in this sport, if you mess up, there's danger,
Speaker 1: there's fire, there's speed, there's tech, there's money. As far
Speaker 1: as the logistics, the history, the sponsors, the understanding of
Speaker 1: the sport, I am a big dumb idiot.
Speaker 2: That's actually how we found you were looking for somebody
Speaker 2: who is not an expert at anything. It just doesn't
Speaker 2: know anything to tell.
Speaker 1: You what you're an expert at busting my balls.
Speaker 2: Tony, on the other hand, is an actual expert. She
Speaker 2: was one of our guests in season one, and there's
Speaker 2: this one thing that she said back then that stuck
Speaker 2: with me and that I think really speaks to what
Speaker 2: we're trying to do here in season two.
Speaker 5: I am a firm believer that the more you know
Speaker 5: about something, the more you get, the more you can
Speaker 5: enjoy the actual sport.
Speaker 1: Yep, exactly. And it's definitely like a lot of subjects
Speaker 1: where the more you know, the more you know that
Speaker 1: you don't know, Yeah, you know what I mean, I
Speaker 1: do know what you mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And also the more you know that you don't know,
Speaker 2: the more you know that you know.
Speaker 1: Zultan, Can you just shut them down?
Speaker 2: Don't touch that button's all time?
Speaker 1: Can you shut off? As Mike, I have more to.
Speaker 5: Get You're high has now left the chat.
Speaker 1: Thank you? What's the plan? What are we doing here? So?
Speaker 5: I feel like in season one we gave you the
Speaker 5: basics and we help to figure out who your team
Speaker 5: and who your driver is. Season two of Choosing Sites
Speaker 5: is going to be the one O two. If you will.
Speaker 5: We're going to take you, and we're going to take
Speaker 5: this a step, fir that we're going to dive deeper
Speaker 5: into the intricacies of the sport in an effort to
Speaker 5: help you figure out what kind of Formula one fan
Speaker 5: you are.
Speaker 1: Michael, I didn't realize there were different F one fans.
Speaker 11: Talk to me, goose, Hey, guys, can you hear me?
Speaker 3: It is another day in Paradise.
Speaker 2: So over the past few months, Tony and I have
Speaker 2: been very busy conducting dozens and dozens of interviews.
Speaker 1: Those experts are helpful, they make me sound better, and
Speaker 1: sometimes they interrupted me and I don't like.
Speaker 5: My name is Madelie Coleman.
Speaker 12: I'm a staff writer covering Formula one for the Athletic.
Speaker 9: My name's tartans LAWI Clay Kinsey aka break former F
Speaker 9: one performance engineer.
Speaker 13: Professional race car driver for twenty years now, passionate about
Speaker 13: life and pretty much everything that can fly flow. I'll
Speaker 13: go fast.
Speaker 6: Lily Herman, writer editor by trade in the context of
Speaker 6: F one, I did co host season one of Choosing
Speaker 6: Sides F one, so I am very familiar with everyone.
Speaker 6: I'm here to be a menace to YOHI.
Speaker 10: I'm sure, We're just gonna have fun and you'll pull
Speaker 10: out the best bits.
Speaker 4: Hi.
Speaker 11: I'm Scott Mansell, founder of Driver sixty one.
Speaker 14: Is it fair to call you a tire heead treadhead?
Speaker 14: Would would rhyme or we on? That could also be technically.
Speaker 15: I think fashion is how these personalities show who they are.
Speaker 5: I do have to mention the c boys.
Speaker 16: I think fan girls get a bad wrap. Our goal
Speaker 16: is really just to bring people together, fan girls, fan boys.
Speaker 2: We talked to super fans, drivers, engineers, journalists, meteorologists, human encyclopedia.
Speaker 3: Hello, folks, I'm Sean Kelly. All the facts and figures
Speaker 3: you hear in a Formula one broadcast, whether they be
Speaker 3: in the graphics, whether they be spoken by the likes
Speaker 3: of David Croft or Martin Brundle or Alex Jakes or whomever.
Speaker 3: I am chief responsible for all of that content.
Speaker 2: All people who are coming at the sport from very
Speaker 2: different directions, but nonetheless they all are madly in love
Speaker 2: with it. And one thing they did keep coming back
Speaker 2: to was how layered and nuanced F one was as
Speaker 2: a sport.
Speaker 17: I've always thought of Formula one is a bit like
Speaker 17: an onion, and it has many layers. You know, you
Speaker 17: can appreciate it just at first glance of what you see,
Speaker 17: whatever that may be. You may find Charles the Clerk
Speaker 17: on social media and think he looks cute or cool
Speaker 17: or whatever and start following him, or you may be
Speaker 17: very interested in the aerodynamic side of things. Can come
Speaker 17: at it from a technical point of view. The point is,
Speaker 17: it's all of those things and a lot more.
Speaker 6: It's almost like going from a two D looking at
Speaker 6: a two D shape like a circle into a three
Speaker 6: D sphere right, or like a square into a cube.
Speaker 6: Like you just see more dimensions, more layers, more pandemonium,
Speaker 6: more tension, more stakes.
Speaker 5: They all is this.
Speaker 6: The more you know about the sport, and the.
Speaker 2: More you stick with our show, the more layers you'll add.
Speaker 2: Dear f one Cake.
Speaker 1: I think that's lovely. We're gonna take a quick break
Speaker 1: and be right back. Hey, we're back from the quick break, Tony.
Speaker 1: Give me a little rundown on the different types of fans.
Speaker 1: What are my options here?
Speaker 5: Okay, so you could have your game farest for example,
Speaker 5: because this isn't the game of uno. This is very
Speaker 5: much a game of chess.
Speaker 9: Yes, it is in some instances especially a race.
Speaker 2: Former F One engineer Blake Hinsey.
Speaker 9: If you want to watch a Formula One race and
Speaker 9: understand what's going on, you have two options. You can
Speaker 9: watch the race lap by lap and observe what's happening
Speaker 9: and say it wasn't that great. But one of the
Speaker 9: best things about Formula One is the suspense, and a
Speaker 9: lot of people get a lot of satisfaction of having
Speaker 9: an understanding of how the game can unfold and the variables,
Speaker 9: and they want to know what's going to happen next
Speaker 9: because they're probably watching it with their friend and it's like,
Speaker 9: watch out for Carlos here, he's he needs to stop
Speaker 9: soon for new tires, and without that kind of context,
Speaker 9: you're kind of sitting there thinking what's going to happen next.
Speaker 9: You don't have to be an expert, but having exposure
Speaker 9: awareness of the variables at least gives so many more
Speaker 9: questions and so many where things are going through your
Speaker 9: head while you're watching a Grand Prix.
Speaker 1: That's game theory.
Speaker 5: You could be someone that just loves the strategy of
Speaker 5: the sports.
Speaker 9: You know, you can have a plan and if somebody
Speaker 9: does a different move and you do not react to
Speaker 9: that move, and you can end up at a disadvantage
Speaker 9: and it forces your hand, and it can put you
Speaker 9: in a difficult spot and you may not have all
Speaker 9: the you know that, you may not have all the
Speaker 9: information you need to make that decision. But do you
Speaker 9: make a pit stop to cover that car or do
Speaker 9: you stay out and stick to plan A which one
Speaker 9: pays off?
Speaker 1: Okay, what else statistician tough to say?
Speaker 15: I mean, I'm sure you've spoken to a ton of
Speaker 15: people that are like, it's just a bunch of cars
Speaker 15: going around in circles, isn't it.
Speaker 5: I think data, data and lots and lots of data.
Speaker 15: For me, the data driven part of fandom and the
Speaker 15: stories which really unfold during a race or during a season,
Speaker 15: it's it's just such a complex web of stories all
Speaker 15: happening at once.
Speaker 10: And that's why I think I just get so fascinated
Speaker 10: by it.
Speaker 2: Tech entrepreneur trekns Lowie.
Speaker 10: If you're a person a fan that loves to live
Speaker 10: in the rabbit hole, that loves to understand what's going
Speaker 10: on beneath the surface, well, all the story, like the broadcast,
Speaker 10: is such a narrow window on all of these events
Speaker 10: that are going on, Like tire graining, pit stop times, overcuts, undercuts,
Speaker 10: fuel consumption. Oh god, you understand that there's a there's
Speaker 10: a much more complex web of stories going on in
Speaker 10: one race than you can possibly see on the broadcast.
Speaker 10: And to me, that's the real fun of it.
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm going to be a stattician fan.
Speaker 14: Well to convince it, even it is zero level, tires
Speaker 14: are complicated, and the more you know, the more you
Speaker 14: can enjoy watching the racing.
Speaker 5: Tire ahead, which I think is probably yes, we're going
Speaker 5: to devote a whole episode.
Speaker 1: We well, we have to. We have to because they
Speaker 1: talk about it so much.
Speaker 14: Well, look, if you were to let me talk as
Speaker 14: long as I wanted to about tires, especially with such
Speaker 14: a knowledgeable person as Tony here, I could go on
Speaker 14: for hours and days just talking about tires.
Speaker 2: This interview with Matt Trumpet, a huge, self professed fan
Speaker 2: of everything and anything to do with them F one
Speaker 2: tires crazy, did in fact run pretty long.
Speaker 14: And I could tell you that to suspension design, the canber,
Speaker 14: the toe, all of it is aimed at making those
Speaker 14: tires operate in a very narrow temperature margin. And within
Speaker 14: that narrow temperature margin, there's an even tinier sweet spot.
Speaker 14: So if you're ever watching qualifying and suddenly somebody does
Speaker 14: something extraordinary, what's really happened is they've prepared the tires
Speaker 14: on their outlap where they drive very slowly to perfect
Speaker 14: and then managed them perfectly throughout the lab so that
Speaker 14: they use the very last of their grip exiting the
Speaker 14: very last corner. The physics attires is amazing. Hysteresis and
Speaker 14: all of disco elastic performance and you know, glass transition temperatures.
Speaker 1: It's just really amazing.
Speaker 14: There's just a world of research that goes into these things.
Speaker 1: Please, finally, I can't wait. That episode is where the
Speaker 1: rubber meets the road.
Speaker 5: Unintended.
Speaker 10: Let's go.
Speaker 1: There's other types of fans.
Speaker 5: There are the logistics nerd. This is absolutely a traveling circus.
Speaker 18: There's nothing else like it. Really, there is nothing else
Speaker 18: like Formula one logistically because of all the different components
Speaker 18: that go into it. I mean we're talking about the
Speaker 18: cars alone weigh two thousand pounds.
Speaker 2: This is Joe Bonpliano, entrepreneur and investor.
Speaker 18: It's really one of the only global sports that we have.
Speaker 18: There are sports leagues that play in other places. There's
Speaker 18: you know, European football teams that play friendlies in the US,
Speaker 18: and even the NFL goes international, but Formula one is
Speaker 18: global in its blood. It's everywhere. People need to remember that.
Speaker 18: In some instances, Formula one is taking over, you know,
Speaker 18: an entire downtown area or an entire track.
Speaker 5: Twenty three twenty four different countries, and.
Speaker 18: It makes it really challenging because it's not an asset
Speaker 18: like business where you can just kind of pick yourself up,
Speaker 18: fly over there and then do the event. It's you
Speaker 18: need the cars, you need grand stands put up, you
Speaker 18: need premium hospitality. You obviously need to bring hundreds of employees.
Speaker 18: You have to have the motor homes set up and
Speaker 18: the hospitality areas for the teams themselves.
Speaker 5: There's air freights, there's things that are put on the
Speaker 5: back of trucks, there's things that are put on the
Speaker 5: back of planes, on the back of boats. You have
Speaker 5: to make sure that everything arrives on time.
Speaker 18: And that's really challenging logistically because there's so many different
Speaker 18: moving parts.
Speaker 5: The logistics part is always one that I find fascinating,
Speaker 5: especially if you talk with anyone on the logistics teams
Speaker 5: in Formula one, they will say there's no plan B, right,
Speaker 5: there's a Plan A, and plan has got to work.
Speaker 12: If you don't deliver fuel, the teams is unable to raise.
Speaker 5: This is Georgia Cherabasi DHL Motorsports track side Manager.
Speaker 12: In this case, there is no plan B because it
Speaker 12: has to happen. They don't have any other choice other
Speaker 12: than using their own fuel. So it's one case where yes,
Speaker 12: we don't have any any Plan B just has to happen.
Speaker 2: You know, a general would say that. An amateur would
Speaker 2: talk about tactics, right, but a professional we'll talk about logistics.
Speaker 1: By who are you reading a military book? Are you
Speaker 1: just coming up with the stuff in your head right now?
Speaker 1: I like that. Are there other types of fans? There
Speaker 1: can't be.
Speaker 5: Yes, But let's goes on. Where are only halfway? Are
Speaker 5: you here? Where there is money and where there is power,
Speaker 5: there's always going to be drama and gossip. In Formula
Speaker 5: one there's a lot of money and there's a lot
Speaker 5: of power plays happening.
Speaker 16: Yes, lots of drama, lots of gossip.
Speaker 2: That was Zoe one half of the Hannah and Zoey
Speaker 2: duo Behind Fan Behavior podcast.
Speaker 16: It's always funny to me whenever we get again, people
Speaker 16: commenting about how like, why are we talking about this
Speaker 16: sort of drama off track? Drama or something that they
Speaker 16: don't feel like is what is on track. It's like
Speaker 16: this sport is full of drama, and I think sport
Speaker 16: in general, yes, obviously the focus is what happens on
Speaker 16: the track, and there's drama on the track, but you
Speaker 16: also can't ignore what's happening off the track because that
Speaker 16: also affects what happens on the track. And I think
Speaker 16: formula one again, this plays into the Real Housewives component
Speaker 16: of this of why people compare it to that show.
Speaker 16: It's just it's so insular, it's so it's so tight,
Speaker 16: it's so close knit that I think that reads the
Speaker 16: drama and the gossip. I think any friend group, you know,
Speaker 16: friend group, family, there's always drama, there's always gossip, and
Speaker 16: I think the closer you are, almost the more drama
Speaker 16: and the more goss that there tends to be.
Speaker 1: Okay, speed Jungle. I was going to say, we gotta
Speaker 1: have something about speed. Speed. Yes, we haven't even mentioned that.
Speaker 5: We haven't mentioned that.
Speaker 1: That's the cause one of the corest things these things
Speaker 1: go fast they do.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, in my opinion, it's the most beautiful part
Speaker 11: of racing.
Speaker 2: Scott Mantle of Driver sixty one.
Speaker 11: The finesse. The skill that these drivers have in kind
Speaker 11: of caressing the car into the breaking in through the
Speaker 11: corner and extracting the very most speed that they can
Speaker 11: is fascinating to watch. Now I'm aware it's very kind
Speaker 11: of detailed viewing and as you get deeper and deeper
Speaker 11: into the sport, for me, it's the most fascinating part.
Speaker 13: I'm going to tell you a funny story. My wife
Speaker 13: always complained that I was training too much. I was
Speaker 13: doing too much team, I was doing too much bicycle
Speaker 13: and I didn't need all of that to be a
Speaker 13: race car driver.
Speaker 2: And that's ex F one driver Roman Grojan aka the Phoenix.
Speaker 13: And then that accident in Bahrain were seventy sixty seven
Speaker 13: g impact, got stuck in a cab fire, didn't lose consciousness,
Speaker 13: which is amazing, and was strong enough to escape from
Speaker 13: being locked between you know, a burrier, a halo headrest
Speaker 13: and into far and just because I was strong enough
Speaker 13: and fit enough and got the energy to jump.
Speaker 7: Out of it, I made it.
Speaker 13: And since then she's like, well you can go as
Speaker 13: much as you wanted the gym, so you know it
Speaker 13: worked out pretty well.
Speaker 5: But yes, all of that homa to be able to
Speaker 5: spend more time in the gym. Then there's the tech note.
Speaker 9: Everything about Formula one is engineering, so you cannot consume
Speaker 9: any facet of Formula one without touching on engineering and
Speaker 9: its impact on the sports, the outcomes. Everything is about numbers,
Speaker 9: through and through. There is there is no way to
Speaker 9: avoid engineering and Formula one. They are coupled, they are
Speaker 9: the same.
Speaker 5: So this sport is tech powered.
Speaker 1: Nerds are taken over Man.
Speaker 7: Noble Green nineteen fifty seven.
Speaker 5: Then we have a history buff coming.
Speaker 1: Into an early lead is one Fangio number.
Speaker 7: One Fanjo was in a Maserati miles behind the two
Speaker 7: Ferraris and drove out of his skin, frightening himself.
Speaker 15: With us at the brickyard the super Speedway Chaos Confusion range.
Speaker 5: For those listeners who have never heard of the very
Speaker 5: sad two thousand and five USA Formula one start, can
Speaker 5: you give us a quick story time A quick deepe
Speaker 5: Sen sprinks away, but pass takes the lead.
Speaker 1: It's happened.
Speaker 5: Senna is trying to go through all the inside.
Speaker 14: And it's happened a major lip.
Speaker 5: This is amazing.
Speaker 17: He was otherworldly. I've never met anybody like it. And
Speaker 17: Senna was a real kind of charismatic presence.
Speaker 2: James Allen a legendary efrone commentator and journalist.
Speaker 17: When he walked into a room, everybody stopped, all eyes
Speaker 17: kind of you know, wow. He carried a presence like
Speaker 17: I've never met anyone before or since. And God, could
Speaker 17: he drive a racing car. He was so fast, you know,
Speaker 17: and he was I think what marked him out was
Speaker 17: his commitment. All Grand Prix drivers have a huge level
Speaker 17: of commitment, but he was absolutely on it the whole time,
Speaker 17: and nothing was too much, whether it was in terms
Speaker 17: of effort that he put into it or trying to
Speaker 17: find a competitive edge or going over the edge. Sometimes.
Speaker 7: I'll give you one stat Jim Clark.
Speaker 2: And that's a mad bishop. Another legendary F one journalist
Speaker 2: and the founder of Racing Pride.
Speaker 7: He won twenty five Grand Prix out of seventy two starts.
Speaker 7: Guess so many times he came second.
Speaker 9: It was in the fifth lap, but something went wrong.
Speaker 10: Clark's car had not reappeared in front of the timekeeper.
Speaker 5: This sport has such a deep history, and there are
Speaker 5: so many reasons why we've ended up with the sport
Speaker 5: in the format that we have today, from the types
Speaker 5: of cars to the types of racetracks we have.
Speaker 3: In the home speeds three crowding miles into minutes on
Speaker 3: the streaming Comac, they ride with life as the passenger
Speaker 3: death on their tails.
Speaker 7: Capron Lived.
Speaker 5: We're not quite done, but we're very close to being done.
Speaker 5: We are close. Quick break and we'll.
Speaker 1: Be right back, Tony. We're back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, welcome back for my break. So what have we
Speaker 5: been doing. We've been running down the list of all
Speaker 5: the different types of fans that you could potentially be. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and I think we've reached the last one.
Speaker 1: Michael Oh, okay, cool.
Speaker 12: Bajour from the beautiful Colt Dassour.
Speaker 5: I'm Michelle Costa here with your Monaco weatherfall. Last, but
Speaker 5: not least, we have the meteorologist. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I get like this sense of like excitement and through
Speaker 6: and just a genuine.
Speaker 2: Pumping Elizabeth Olmacher, retired stormchaser and a meteorologist for Race West.
Speaker 5: Does anyone else report one of the things that every
Speaker 5: team hopes that they can control, but they know they
