So as you said, Ben, Man City have been found guilty of the vast majority of the charges.

Very good.

Lots in there.

Lots in there.

You did a fantastic job, as you always do, Merle, on the roundup.

Yeah, lots in there.

It's been an interesting couple of weeks.

I mean, let's touch on what was probably the best race of the season in Malaysia, or definitely the most bonkers one, the Malaysian Bahrain Grand Prix, as it was so catchily called.

I don't know if you you watched it in the end but it was an interesting one but also marred in controversy did you hear all about this technical glitch

I did and I will say like I've been I think you've been getting slightly annoyed at me throughout the course of this F1 season because I've been a bit of a kind of

moaning myrtle

I've been a bit down on the F1 this season I haven't enjoyed it but this I will say I properly enjoyed this race it was back to it's what I like in F1 rain always helps but it's also just a good race track And that makes a huge difference for me.

So yeah, it was a really, really enjoyable watch.

And yeah, the bit at the start with the technical software glitches, am I right in saying they were basically going too slow for the engines to like properly work in the rain? Is that the issue?

Yeah.

So the FIA had made some adjustments to software because of the rain.

I don't understand the technical detail there.

But basically impacted the majority of cars, which basically brought them down to a standstill.

But all these cars were just like dropping like flies because of this software update they'd done to try and cope with the rain and some of the issues that they were having.

So then they had to red flag the race and reset and get everyone back into the correct order.

I mean, it was, it was just a mess, but crazy really, but it's good.

I mean, obviously I think the title is over for this season.
