Harry BenjaminHOST
But where, Abby, does this leave the dynamic between the two drivers at Ferrari?

Abbie EatonGUEST
I think if, uh, Lewis keeps performing as he is and Charles keeps potentially having the problems or making the mistakes, um, you know, that, that struggle between if is there a number one driver, is there a number two driver? Are they gonna let them both race and treat them the same if they get up, you know, to each other on the circuit? I think that's gonna develop as the season goes on, similar to what we've seen with Mercedes.

Abbie EatonGUEST
Obviously at the moment, Lewis is, is second in the championship and, um, Charles is down in fourth.

Abbie EatonGUEST
Um, but yeah, I think it's gonna be interesting to see how the outright pace, and as you, um, mentioned, uh, Andrew, about the consistency that potentially Ferrari could have found with the development on the engine side of it this weekend, and obviously we've seen the, the performance, uh, increase from the aero previously.

Harry BenjaminHOST
Is that a consequence of having that, been battling and putting so much resource in the back end of last year fighting for a championship and ultimately succeeding, but has that come at a cost?

Abbie EatonGUEST
I think probably so, and you see, um, reflections of that in Red Bull's pace or lack of, um, this year as well.

Abbie EatonGUEST
Um, it's gonna be hard to put all 100% into battling for a championship whilst also thinking about developing for the following year.

Abbie EatonGUEST
Um, and I still, uh, I don't know where the pressure is more on George or on Kimi because ultimately, you know, George should be the quicker, more experienced guy in front, and he's not been.

Abbie EatonGUEST
So, you know, he'll have a really good team around him kind of saying to him, "Look, forget about that.

Abbie EatonGUEST
Just make sure you're putting it, you know, where you need to and, and try and keep moving forward."
Abbie Eaton: Working with Hammond, Clarkson & May on 'The Grand Tour' was a really big deal!

Abbie EatonGUEST
And there's obviously long straights out of, you know, Maggots, Becketts, Herpin.

Abbie EatonGUEST
And that means that whatever series is racing on it, they're always really close together.

Abbie EatonGUEST
You know, you're half a 10th is the difference between, you know, being first or being fifth or sixth.

Dave VittyHOST
But in terms of your head, how does that affect you? Because does that then suddenly make you, I don't know, perhaps more aware of your own vulnerability or your own mortality or whatever the right word is? You know, can it affect your bottle and your general sort of headspace?
