Hullo and welcome to our preview of the Brazilian Grand Prix, or as Liberty would rather we call it, the São Paulo Grand Prix, held at Interlagos, or what it’s officially called Autódromo José Carlos Pace. A lot of official and unofficial names in this one. Now, with the terminology out the way, let’s crack on with the proceedings.

In this fact-packed edition; which Jesse edited in a hotel bar in Birmingham, we cover the Race of Champions, the F2 and F3 calendars as well as a bit of feeder series chaos and reflect on the life and times of Ferrari engineer and technical whiz, Mauro Forghieri. Oh, and one of Thiemo’s theories comes true, unsure if we should be worried by this?

Sorry this is so late. Work got a bit chaotic for reasons that may or may not become apparent at a later point in time: so unfortunately editing the pod got shuffled down the order. Still, it’s out and packed with good Freya content from Freya Brolsma. Ellie-May sort of is in this one, but to avoid having a ginormous podcast, working around time zones, and the general chaos that this pod is, Ellie-May is in the big news section that’ll be out alongside this. She’s fine… honestly. I think she’s in this bit too? I dunno, I’ve written this before I’ve edited it.

Hullo and welcome to a bumper edition of The Undercut Podcast as we pull apart everything from the Japanese Grand Prix. And when I say EVERYTHING, I mean EVERYTHING! Hence why we’ve split this down into a two-parter, Part One is all the goodness of What the Hell Haas Happened? And Part Two contains all our typical post-race chat of winners and spinners, predictions review, and a dive into our fantasy league. Plus all the usual bickering and insight you expect.

Editor's Note: The weird gap in the audio at around 7:30 comes from me trying to blend two solo audios and the backup Zoom audio and just missing a cut. In my defence, I'd been at this for around three and a half hours at this point.
