Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's go to the F one overnight and yes, yeah,
well overnight Oscar Piastre has taken that out Ryan, and
that I guess the biggest scheme of things here is
that by winning for McClaren, it's the second Formula one
victory he's won in Hungary as well this season, Max
for Star up and the championship leader in the individual
stand driver standings is fifth and Landon Norris is fourth,

(00:23):
but McLaren now overtaking Red Bull in the constructor standing,
so they've got twenty point lead. Not much at this stage,
but whether I think got seven races to go in
the season, but I just think we're in for a
real showdown there, and it's perhaps the changing of the guard.
So that's probably the biggest story in relation to that.
And there's been a massive crash as well, or at

(00:43):
least in the context of the race, Ferrari's color signs
and Red Bulls Sergio Perez just in second and third
and knocking themselves out of contention for the podium just
with a couple LEPs to go. I think it was
under safety, Carl the race finished. I heard the audio
in your your news are just of it. Colorful's the
descriptions very colorful. The America's Cup, the Challenger Series. But

(01:04):
if you're going if you're going at three ks around
I mentioned colorful is expected, it would be stressful. Yeah. Yeah,
Now America's Cup, now that's taken another turn. It's fairly straightforward.
Both of the semi final Challenges series races or duels
at the moment are on match point. So what's got
in Your Britannia? They've defeated a Lingy by two minutes,

(01:27):
twenty seconds and forty eight so they're up four nil
as Luna ross who have beaten American Magic by twenty
six and two seconds respectively. So it's looking like it'll
be a showdown between Luna Rossa and in Your Britannia
at this stage anyway, to see who's going to race
against defender Team New Zealand. But as we know in
America's Cup, things can change. As we saw in twenty thirteen,

(01:51):
it's not over till it's over. The Black Fern's won
the Hug but lost them at the game. Yeah, I
think one. Hearts and minds is there how we describe
it these days? I think so, But did lose twaking
them up against Phiry formidable opposition in England's I think
that's seventeen wins in a row. Now for the English side,
last time I lost was an Eden Park in the

(02:11):
World Cup Final in twenty twenty two. But now they
go on to the WXV tournament in Canada. The Black Ferns.
But you're putting up a decent show in but England
just too strong. I mean I did have I think
it was fifty seven percent of position the blackfern So
opportunities were there, but couldn't counter against England defense not
quite enough. Andrew, thank you for that. Watch scams right exactly.
