David EvansPANELIST
Um, and to see her doing what she's doing, it's, it's fabulous.
David EvansPANELIST
Uh, and you know, credit to her, she's coming off the back of two years in F1 Academy, a couple of years really away from, from rallying as a, as the sort of main activity.
David EvansPANELIST
It's tremendous.
David EvansPANELIST
And, and like you said, yeah, it's been, it's been a while since we've had a, a kind of thriller of a, of an ARA fight.
Spanners ReadyHOST
I would still say, instead of the sprint weekend, get some support series in.
Spanners ReadyHOST
F1 Academy is pretty good and is going around to loads of those events.
Spanners ReadyHOST
Have the local racing series in your area just come and do some kind of like half the circuit or something limited.
Spanners ReadyHOST
Like, Get the guys who go out there week in, week out in their Peugeots, in their converted Peugeot 206s that they've stripped out and put cages in.
Terry WiddowsHOST
And I think they would have been better off looking at the format and going reverse top 10 maybe and doing something a bit random with that.
Terry WiddowsHOST
And we use it in F1 Academy.
Terry WiddowsHOST
We use it in Formula 2.
Terry WiddowsHOST
Reverse sprint actually makes for quite good racing.
Jayden MarascaHOST
Go to the drivers.
Jayden MarascaHOST
Why can't you-- You've got access to all 22 drivers, and throw the junior kids in there, F2, F3, women's, the, the F1 Academy.
Jayden MarascaHOST
Get their, get their opinion.
Jayden MarascaHOST
I guarantee every single one of them, except Carlos Sainz, would have gone, "This track is absolute dog shit." What are we doing? It's an actual- It's a global embarrassment, by the way.
Andy JayeHOST
I hope you've enjoyed the first episode of The Business of Formula One brought to you by PwC.
Andy JayeHOST
We'll be back with episode two where we learn about the future talent and we'll be talking to young F1 Academy driver Rachel Robertson.
Andy JayeHOST
We'll see you then.
speaker_6ADVERTISER
This episode of The Business is sponsored by PwC.
speaker_1HOST
I believe that there have been a couple of like F3, F4 races that have already taken place.
speaker_1HOST
And of course, the Academy and F2 races will take place sometime this week or towards the end of the weekend.
speaker_1HOST
We're already on Thursday today, so... probably even today and tomorrow my
speaker_0HOST
god the week just flew by yeah and time has just flown by like didn't they just start constructing this
speaker_3NARRATOR
It has partnerships with brands like Ferrari, BMW and McLaren.
speaker_3NARRATOR
In 2020, the firm became the official trackside vendor for Formula 1 and a partner of the F1 Academy.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Cultural figures have also played a major role in the brand's strategy.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Rihanna became the creative director for the women's line in 2014, and other collaborations followed with artists like The Weeknd, Selena Gomez, and ASAP Rocky.
JackHOST
Right.
JackHOST
But to have an F3 team, mostly because he acquired an existing F3 team and to be working on fielding an F2 team and presumably expanding from there to make these seats available, basically doing, you know, if you want to call back to was it two weeks ago that we were talking about F1 Academy? Yeah.
JackHOST
um we were calling for essentially this of having like one team having a couple seats that are more accessible to someone who shows the talent but may not have the backing or the institutional leg up and being able to work up through the series even if there are fewer seats to go around so since we talked about it at length there i am absolutely in favor of something like this existing here um especially if he continues to expand and develop it
AlexHOST
I don't know.
AdamGUEST
so they were very sketchy on this weekend about if there's going to be crashes or not obviously it's a circuit that's brand new built and it's nothing like anything that's on the Formula 1 calendar so I
JohnHOST
suppose being a brand new built track it will be what they call in the business a very very green track there will be no rubber anywhere on that track you might actually find that come qualifying day I'm not sure what the support series are I know Britain was F1 Academy, F3, F2 and then F1 I'm not sure what the support series are but generally if they want a lot of rubber put down very quickly there would be a Porsche support race For some reason, the Porsches lay down a lot of rubber.
JohnHOST
There was a couple of years back down at Silverstone and it was a touring car weekend.
JohnHOST
I was on the Wellington Strait And it was a really, really wet weekend.
Colin FurzeGUEST
you know what I mean? So it's kind of like an F2 do the whole reverse sprint feature race.
Nicola HumeHOST
Well, F1 Academy do similar.
Colin FurzeGUEST
Yeah, that sort of thing.
Colin FurzeGUEST
And I've always wondered whether they should do that every now and again just as a bit of an experiment.
