We got a bad review
Someone rated us two stars, and this episode doesn't go any way towards rectifying that. Nate turns into Lawrence Stroll, Chris wants you to feel sorry for him because a hypothetical chance to drive some sports cars was missed, and Lawrence says his favourite car launch was the only one that wasn't a car launch.

Why is an F1 car launch never at Area 51?
After the McLaren launch, Lawrence remembers the time an F1 team's unveiling meant he got too hot in a greenhouse, Nate got scarred by a massive beard when seeing a new livery, and Chris laughed at Franz Tost. With money no object, there are also some pretty impressive launch plans put in place if we had our own teams. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We’re going to really regret this

It somehow all starts with an incredible nickname given to Nate by a Spanish Twitter user. We should really plan these episodes to avoid this sort of thing in future… (Fundraising link to the right).
