moving to another team yeah sure and and and it's very

easy i found myself almost thinking that as well oh we're not going to see scott again but we are we're just he's not going to be in the number nine car anymore but there was a there was a lot of things that were sort of transpiring i guess you'd say across the weekend and an acknowledgement of his career and then non-acknowledgement i i didn't you know hopefully no one from chip ganassi racing's actually listening to sport nation this morning but i didn't think that they did a very good job publicly of acknowledging dixon but then you have to step back from it and go okay well we're maybe a bit biased and he's not retiring if you've been retiring then you'd expect a big hoo-ha but he's just leaving to go to another team and you know teams versus teams this is it's a business they're all out to to beat each other but yeah it was you know Dario said to me you know Scott doesn't get emotional uh but he did today and you could see it in his face you know when he got out of the car and him and Dario were straight off to the airport and they were going back to the UK to run in Goodwood uh revival testing this tuesday so tomorrow and um and then coming back to watch the the all-plex play at baltimore on the weekend so you know as far as the ganassi side of things the book was closed you know it was done and moving on he's not technically at mclaren yet that is a contractual thing and that's yet to be you know the date of start of work if you like is something that only so many people know but effectively he's no longer a ganassi driver either so and we haven't heard who's going to drive the number nine car you would assume it's going to be longer he's the only major viable player on the on the market and doesn't have a seat and he deserves that he is the only driver this season to have completed every single race lap there is no other driver that's done that other than christian lungard

He's driving a pretty good car, of course, but you've still got to be good.

Well, I think the significant thing there, TJ, is the fact that he came from 19th on the grid to do it as well.

So, you know, he was alongside Lawson.

So if you parallel the two of those, look where one of them got and one of them didn't.

Different circumstances for sure.

you know he he got there and and george was obviously starting more up front and and the other mercedes so this is uh not going to do george's ego any good and it's going to do kimmy's kimmy's stock with with toto wolf even higher because you know kimmy is a toto wolf find And Toto put him into Formula One.

team.

And it's very easy.

I found myself almost thinking that as well.

Oh, we're not going to see Scott again, but we are.

He's not going to be in the number nine car anymore.

But there was a lot of things that were sort of transpiring, I guess you'd say, across the weekend and acknowledgement of his career and then non-acknowledgement.

I didn't, you know, hopefully no one from Chip Ganassi Racing is actually listening to Sport Nation this morning, but I didn't think that they did a very good job publicly of acknowledging Dixon.

He's driving a pretty good car, of course, but you've still got to be good.

Which of those do you think is the biggest source of risk and why, and how do we focus on the right areas?

Yeah, well, looking at human behaviour, it's just been a hobby of mine since I was about five, right? So when I was at school, I used to really annoy my teachers by thinking, you know, why do they do that? And why do they make decisions and all that kind of things? That didn't go down real well.

So looking at the human factor over now, 40, 45 years in business, It is people and it is teams that we must concentrate on.

And when someone says to me, what is real risk management? It's the teams and the people within your organisation.

It's the way they think.

It's the way they're managed.

It's their alignment to what you're doing.

What distinguishes boards that consistently manage risk well from those that seem to react after something's already gone wrong?

And David, we've got a text through from a listener, Mike, who wants to know, is there any truth, do you think, to rumours that Yuki Tsunoda will be Marcus Armstrong's teammate in the IndyCar next year?

Yeah, look, I had 50-50 bet on that a couple of weeks ago actually thinking because Yuki is a Honda driver and Honda are very strongly aligned with MSR because they run the sports car programme with them until the end of the year and then Honda are taking a couple of years away from that and then they're going to run one of the Honda factory... engine manufacture cars in 2028, an IndyCar, just as Chevy will have one with a yet-to-be-named team.

Yeah, I thought Yuki was in with a shot, but I've also heard that, well, I know that MSR require money, and I've heard that Mick Schumacher has some very good money on the table with a sponsor that he can bring to the team, and it might be a case of money talks, but in saying that, Yuki has plenty of money from Honda as well, so...

MSR traditionally don't announce anything until the season's over.

That's just the way they like to play things, just as much as Ganassi will almost certainly announce Lingard, you know, after this weekend coming.

So, yeah, I think Yuki could be there.

He's expressed an interest in it, but then he did very well subbing for Liam at the Dutch Grand Prix.

What's the update in the Formula E world?

So I don't envy the complexity of your domain, but I do want to ask, how do you build a channel strategy that feels like internally aligned and makes the most of your best practices without ignoring the realities and differences of each local market?

so I look at my colleagues that lead the theatres for Americas and APJ with envy sometimes because I think the complexity and the diversity of EMEA is completely unique we've got some very mature markets in UK Germany places like that and other really high growth areas as well you're right they do need to take a very different approach you can't have there is no EMEA okay let's go and run it's pockets of Click and deploy, you know, it doesn't work.

And making sure that our colleagues in the US, if they're creating programs, understand that is incredibly important.

So, you know, fortunately, we've got great kind of working relationships where we can do that.

And I think that's what means that we can build out some things that are very consistent.

So we want to make sure that the overarching program is consistent across all of our different regions.

Our core value proposition is probably the same and that the types of customers that we want to speak to are known and understood and the ways that partners can take benefit from the program are very clear and very consistent because what we understand is people want predictability and they want that profitability that kind of comes from it and to trust us in our route to market.

How does the role of a distributor need to evolve in the next like two to five years or two to five months, depending how fast technology goes?

So I'm curious, how does this shortened schedule allow time for scholarly projects if people are going down a two-year as opposed to a three-year route?

So they don't all have to be shortened, right? So just to kind of reinforce the message that when we talk about this new model, right, we're talking about a competency-based approach as opposed to a two-year model.

And so I think as we think about advancing scholarship and academicians, the three-year scholarship-oriented pathway is a key feature there.

It allows us to, as a collective, apply the resources for individual trainees in scholarship in a way that allows them to begin building their career that then they can move along into the academic world, either in research, advanced training, or otherwise.

But another key feature for all trainees that are coming through, regardless of their pathway, is the EPA that's focused on scholarship, right? So scholarship is a key part of being a subspecialist, being able to interpret the literature, apply that to your patients.

So those core elements we defined using the scholarship EPA, and that'll be an expectation for every trainee coming through to create a baseline, uh, that is a key part of the educational process, in addition to the development of physician scientists and other researchers who may decide they want to go through a three-year pathway focused more heavily on research and academics.

And so using the EPA as a framework for curriculum and assessment and scholarship is a way we can shift the narrative around scholarly preparations, where that in the past it's been every fellow has done a scholarly work product and had a 12-month minimum research time, and that scholarly work product was submitted to the ABP.

Are you able to summarize the sort of feedback that you're getting across these subspecialties, positive, negative, or otherwise?

For the backstory on Elkins' main thoroughfare, Hibbilly Graham enlisted Professor Emeritus David Turner, an expert on the OGHG, Henry Gassaway Davis.

Henry Gassaway Davis, he was basically a... railroad man.

He was in the Baltimore and Ohio Railway, and he married the head of that railway's daughter, and so he got aligned in West Virginia about 1829, maybe even sooner than that.

He tended to be kind of an up-and-coming.

First of all, he started out as a career man and then gradually went into entrepreneurial and and then gradually into politics.

He was an entrepreneur, but I'm difficult to say that because he had been a senator in the 1880s, briefly, when the Senate was picked by state legislatures.

He was a party insider.

H.G. Davis owned land, lumber, the rail yard.

Is he safe at Racing

Balls? No.

Like you said, no pressure, is there? What a good start to a Friday afternoon.

We'll just go gut feeling.

Gut feeling is, I think ultimately he's going to end up being secure, but in saying that, we are dealing with the Red Bull Empire, so nothing is secure with them as we well know.

History shows that across multiple drivers that have been with both Racing Bulls, Toro Rossa as it used to be, and the main Red Bull team.

So there's never a security, even more so when you're in a contract renewal year like so many people are across different motorsport disciplines right now.

Can that play a part this weekend?

Is he safe at Racing Balls?

No.

I think she would have been a very different type of mother to many of the people.

It's very interesting because...

This book, it comes across very strongly that she thinks of her players and her coaching staff as family.

And she uses that phrase a lot.

She talks about at one point, this is really interesting.

She talks about the months that they had practicing and the agonies that they had getting to championships and that sort of thing.

She compares it to childbirth and she compares her players to daughters.

That flows through this, you know, and we have to remember that she had to fight for every piece of resource that she
