[upbeat music] Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. Friday, Barcelona, does it get more frantic? [laughs] Well, to be fair, it actually has been. It has been- It has been a chaotic day, that's for sure. Yeah, for, for news, for arguments with the teams, and all sorts of stuff, mainly because of Monaco, let's be real. Uh, and a lot to talk about as well, free practice one, of course, having seven rookies on track, and just generally trying to figure out the pecking order for this weekend's Grand Prix may be a little bit more difficult, uh, than it usually would be. Uh, now before we get into all of that, as I just mentioned, there's been some Monaco drama. Uh, we've actually done a separate podcast, uh, and a video on P1 Extra, uh, to talk about the Gasly penalty, or penalties, uh, they were both overturned, uh, in a lovely special bonus episode. However, it's not, it's not done. It's not over because as of recording when we did it, of course, it was very much reacting to the news, how will the teams feel? Well, the teams feel dreadful, as, uh, as we're about to tell you because the drama has continued. Uh, McLaren and Red Bull have submitted a notification of their intention to appeal. So that doesn't mean- They've not appealed, but they're gonna tell everyone that they are gonna appeal. Yeah.
