"And Mansell appeared and there's that famous three abreast moment where Matt goes. But also, I've been doing a bit of research on this. He's the bat marker that is kind of partly in the way. He's not really done anything wrong. He just happens to be there. When Manson goes around the outside of Paul Tracy to win the New Hampshire race in 1993, kart race, which is he's probably his best Indy car win. So just to completely random thing where max was in your hands career is just momentarily crossed, allowing knowledge to pull off a couple of great passes. I've just a random thought there. I like it. A little mention, if you want or not, for any drivers who you maybe at major long lists, but getting honorable mention, but not the top ten. Well, I will say that obviously we're excluding current drivers. So obviously someone like Lando Norris, we hope will score a Grand Prix win where not talking about people like Nico hulkenberg, he's coming back to F one, but I guess Tom price was Tom price. Yeah, because I saw Tony brides is on the list. We will get to in a minute. But I always think of Tom Tom price and brides in a sort of, because they're similar era and they both had terrible tragic deaths. But they're also both mega. And I think price should have been on this list. So I would probably put him actually tenth. I'd probably knock Stefan out. Yeah, I think the lost generation, David tremaine's an excellent book and I recommend anyone to go and read the obviously roger Williamson being the third of those three lost talents, British chance of the 70s. The reason I put bras in there and not price did win a Formula One article did win the race of champions at brown's hatch for shadow. But the reason he's not there is I don't think he really tucks Jean Pierre jare up, particularly when their teammates he's so perhaps the area maybe had the edge overall. Okay, maybe that would have changed his talent by and price that had more of a career. Whereas I think brides compares very favorably to Alan Jones who obviously went on where Jerry won it onto not to win a Grand Prix. Tune in for episode two of the series three podcasts. Whereas Jones did go on to a winner world champion actually, I think there's probably a bit underrated in history. I think you retired too soon. So that was my argument for brides getting into this. He's 8th. He did only start ten Grand Prix, his best finish was 6. So statistically quite weak, but when I read David's book it was really bright, it stood out to me as being like this guy was something really special. I think price was good. I think Williamson is probably a bit too early to say, but Bryce already he's the one that jumped out into me is yeah, this guy was mega. Everyone says that, don't they? Just worked with him or had any involvement with that. That's the feeling you get, isn't it? Yeah. All right, well, we'll get on. We've done number 8 now. And then between those two drivers, let's come slightly more up to date. And number 9th place. Tsunami's raman Grosjean, a 179 starts. So a lot more than most on this list. Best finished attack in ten podiums, one fastest lap. But he wasn't sure what to do with Grosjean. He's one of those drivers I find really irritating. In what way? Because in terms of basic ability, he was really quick. At lotus, he was quicker than Kimi Räikkönen. Once he stopped crashing, he was quicker and he was for a while. It's easy to forget, but when Vettel was going on his winning spree in 2012, especially 2013. It was really actually that Grosjean came closest to stopping him as one race at the Nurburgring is very close. He had some really good drives where he was really only beaten by a better car. And I would suggest there are probably less talented drivers who have won a Grand Prix. But Gresham's also frustrated, quite often he's kind of an enigmatic and we've talked about this before. I'm not a fan of that sort of driver. You need to deliver the goods every time. And Grosjean's a bit up and down. Even at half, you'd see him get the big result with magnitude and be the more consistent runner. Going across to IndyCar has been the same. You think an F one driver of his ability should go in there and be doing more, but he's like the ante Alonso. Lonzo knows where everyone is all the time. And you get the impression that grows on barely knows what's next to his car. I think that's he's there. I think he needs to be there on pur ability, but I don't think you can get much higher because I think he quite often was the architect of his own downfall. I was actually talking to him just the other day about his Lamborghini Lamborghini deal. And he's a really, he's a great guy to talk to. He's very interesting, very articulate and really bright. And with his experience, you just think you should be doing more. And I think he knows it for the IndyCar season just gone. He was very open. It was a disappointment disappointing year and he struggled with the Andretti set up and getting comfortable with the setup they used and he had to sort of work with his engineer to try and try and find some common ground I think. And he said it got better towards the end of the year and he's quite confident for next year. But he knows he should be winning races in IndyCar. I think that's the thing. So I think this coming season is a big one for him. And the bubble kind of burst for him because he came in to coin having come off the back of that horrendous crash, a lot of goodwill. And of course, he did really well in that first year. And then last year he had lots of collisions and troubles with other drivers that we'd sort of seen that side of him in four minute one. These kind of a bit labeled by that sort of troublemaker thing, isn't either he's not great will to wheel. Yeah, he's an interesting choice for an endurance drive, isn't he? Yes. He was very quick in the Matic four GT. Yes. I'd spoke to him when he was doing his FI GT. And I kind of wasn't sure what to expect excess one drive. It's kind of down and trying to get back in. And as you say, it was a lovely guard speak to. And he did a really good job. You've got to really have your wits about you in those cars when you're lapping traffic and potentially fighting cars of a similar performance. So yeah, but it'd be interesting. He says something that will appeal to you, Kev, though. Because he quoted Mario Andretti and doing the Indy 500 and flying back to Europe and sort of doing F one and IndyCar at the same time. He wants to do IndyCar and sports car at the same time. And because they keep the big enduros in America away from the IndyCar schedule, he says I can do both and he's really excited by that prospect. Yeah, that's great to hear a driver having that enthusiasm to do two codes at once. Yeah, absolutely. All right, we've got half touched on our next number 8 place, but Kev give us the stats on this driver and we'll have a bit more of a chat as well. So I 90 75, ten starts best finished 6th, no podiums, no polls, no fastest laps, which obviously sounds, that does not sound outstanding as we were just saying, I think he was an outstanding talent. The car he had at the embassy here operation is Graham hill obviously was stepping down from I think he saw something in prizes is the kind of impression you get compared favorably to admittedly still also quite a young Alan Jones at that time. So yeah, I think this is perhaps going slightly against my usual thing of I tend to plump for actual actual races and careers and statistics that are there as opposed to what might have been. But I think in this case there's, I don't know, there's just a feeling that he was the one of those three that could have gone on to achieve something. I like your thinking. I think I would probably put him a bit lower down for that reason that we haven't got enough evidence because no matter how good your junior career is, it only really counts when you start doing it in Formula One, doesn't it? We've seen it countless times for so many drivers. From Jan Magnussen to there's so many of them. Well, the next person on the list, even. Oh, exactly, exactly. And everyone who has said earlier, everyone who worked with brise in formula three and they all say he was special and the indications were he would have been. But 8th on this list, I would probably put a bit lower. Let's move on. A driver that did come into Formula One having one German F three and formula 3000 highly rated with big backing as well, but ultimately you say failed to deliver. Tell us about him. So this is almost the opposite, and there's lots and lots of data about this driver. So number 7 is Nick heidfeld 2000 to 2011, a 183 starts.

"Is much better. I understand why one's not using it of course. But very good value commentary. Well, if I don't have that one, but it could be anything in between the Oklahoma. It's actually very similar. Circles. It's actually very similar. Nearly starts before of logo, but oh, Mark Webber, what the fuck are dinosaurs? No better words in the English language. Then with Dutch commentary on an F one clip, I think. I'm very confident. Here we go. It was very wet in that way. How to holy shit what are those of withdrawal? What a car control and Vic page me. Okay. Fuck that shit. That was gonna play with bay Tay. Didn't need it. I thought that was great. So we're riding together, we could only dream Pope and pray that that would attract and kill mosquitos in. The second thing I'm interested in is Pierre gasly. He's on ten penalty points. Now, in typical Alpine fashion, it all happened in every Derby and then he will not be able to start. The next season. So here's the thing, right? Inject do it starts to sound. Wouldn't that rule? Wouldn't it? So here's the thing. Let's go back a step. Mercedes says it referred to wind and finished second in the constructor standings. They're probably not going to finish taking any Y but of course they want that because they get more wind tunnel time and on the budget cap doesn't change. They get more wind tuns since you're like tanking. But not as dramatic, obviously. Maybe some of the lesser teams will be taking. Pierre gasly. He's on ten points, guy on your team next to you, you might be saying, only two points away from a race band. I don't think anyone's copped a race band through the point system because it was invented after a man Grosjean's first lap nutcase incident. Surely, you're going to go out and you're just going to drive off the track constantly. To get those points, miss Abu Dhabi and Norton. We're sure the outputs only opt bars are going to go up to midi's motor home this weekend and go Pierre. Think about or AlphaTauri will just turn a blind eye and just in terms of the pit release. Oh, yes. Whenever you want to go. I don't have to tell you what to do. You're the expert. You go when you like, and then all of a sudden edit goes and two race bad. Surely they will do that in Abu Dhabi because at that point it's not bad. He's off the books. Go straight to el pen and test, I think. AlphaTauri will have a vested interest in making sure that Pierre gasly is banned. Or alpay has a vested interest to make sure that he's best. So what is it two races if he's yeah, no, it's one race band. That's right. So LP will want him to get the band this weekend, so he serves an Abu Dhabi. But alpha tauri won the other way around. I want him to cop the band from Abu Dhabi and then miss whatever the first race is, but right. It's high, it's very high stakes, isn't it? That's the one. You got my interest, maybe I'll trade. Maybe I'll tune in at 11 o'clock on ten balls on Monday evening. To watch the replay. I'm not joking. That is actually shocking. The replay time. Why even bother? 11 o'clock, ten bold. Fairly so good. Could be better. It could be on shake. On all the usuals, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, parlor, wiki feet everywhere that you can find good podcast social media pages and listen wherever you find good podcasts. Spotify. A car radio. Apple music, I think it is now. Maybe it's Apple podcasts, it's a separate app that broken out from iTunes. That is the south palo Grand Prix preview just about touching on enough at the end there to warrant the name, talked about other things, most of the episode, but that's okay. We've only got a few races to go. This year, which is very exciting. You couple. Couple. Couple of reviews. Penultimate race of the year. I can not thank goodness. Get around it. And then we get to the usual the circle of life then continues. We then bring in Rodney and Zach. It'll be a weirdly early Christmas episode. People just wait. Male may not appear. You might know. It might be another voice. He's like, they might be old mace. We don't know. We have not planned this. It's crept up. It's me awake so we don't know. Not like it has. We're not thinking that forward ahead into the future. Certainly not. There you go. So maybe the land and the sponsorship of the right time. Used to say next week will be reviewing these strikes and previewing the last race season Abu Dhabi will be exciting when Mercedes win we won't know until we get there, obviously.

"To box of neutrals? Well, how about you fill out this form? Yellow one. Ah. I was going to say the hood a train rolls on, but it does not. The Herta train has come to a halt. It is halted stopped. Yeah, this is real. Exactly Jared. It's real. And it's reassuring, isn't it? It is. The Colton herself, so let's have a look. So he's tenth in the series. So let me read some numbers for you. So fourth on debut, so it's the only finished tenth. Yeah, wow. Behind Alexander Rossi, Felix Rosenquist, Marcus Ericsson. All of whom most of whom should have super license points. That said, maybe the litmus test was like, oh, the only name I recognize is Roman Grosjean, and he finished 13th. In his second season. So Carlton hurts it now. Hang on, this was this series debutante season. No, it was 2020. So I know, 2019. So hang on. He's had all these years to collect super license points. And you're telling me that he's a gun. So his first, okay, so 2018, hang on, 37, 24, oh yeah, so in the last ride. He scored 20 points, so finished 37th and 2018, bit of a jump the next year finished 7th. So climb 30 places, so maybe the average is at. Maybe someone's going to his Wikipedia and going, wow, he finished 30 positions higher than he did the previous season. And what he was 7th, yeah, 2019, third and 2020. I think he was in the running for that. I don't think it needs to be okay, so his 5th, 2021, and then tenth in 2022. I don't get it. I understand. There's nothing particularly, yeah. Arousing about his performance to put a bluntly.

"Move on to par for the courts before we get on to all of the news and gossip and previews. One of our listeners actually did say that I should do the quiz for you today, Joel, seeing as your slightly hungover after your Christmas Day. But I think you've actually got one for me. So yeah, I have and I'm going to make it as painful for you as no, I'm joking. You can lower you can lower the past score for me, maybe. And then I can just ace it. Yeah, no, I do have another path for the courts for you and our listeners. And again, it is related to number one rankings. It will involve it's quite difficult. So I'm going to give you some clues along the way as well. But what I my topic for you and for our listeners this week is it's been over 18 years. Since someone not named Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, will rank number one. We spoke about this last week, which is just crazy, crazy, crazy sock. But what I want to know Kim is who was in the top ten. The last time that happened, so there are ten players, February 1st, 2004 in the ATP rankings. And I want you to guess how many of those you know for back in 2004 to help you. I am going to give you their nationalities. So you've got an American, you've got a Swiss, you've got a Spaniard. You've got another American. You've got an Argentinian. You've got a German, you've got another Spaniard. You've got another Argentinian. You've got an Aussie. And you've got a French man. Okay. I'm just sort of typing these down as you say. So, okay, so this is before roger Raphael. So 2004, February 1st. And I know this is quite difficult, so I've given you the countries. So I'll say them again. USA, Switzerland, Spain, USA, Argentina, Germany, Spain, Argentina, Australia, France, and I'm going to set the past score at 5 out of ten. I'm going to give you 50%. Okay, this is probably the toughest part of the court yet because I wasn't even following tennis in 2004. Apart from, well, apart from Wimbledon, Tim henman. As you do, as one did back in the day, okay, right, let's do this. So Switzerland has got to be Roger Federer because it where he wouldn't have been number one, and he must have been in the top ten. At this time. Correct. Roger Federer, he was ranked number two. So the Australian must have been late in Europe, I would imagine. Leighton Hewitt? Yeah. Incorrect. Didn't he win Wimbledon like? I don't know where Leighton knew it was, but he wasn't in the top ten. No. So, okay. If you've had said Mark philippoussis, it would have been correct came. Okay, so I'm obviously not getting past school, but I'll carry on and see where we get come on listeners we can do this. Carlos moya for Spain. Yes, you could have given me Carlos moya yet. Juan Carlos Ferrero? You could have given me one call a story, Kim. Yes. Argentina must be now bandy and yes, you could have given me David nalbandian. Make me hear it really does on you in, hasn't he? Honestly. The other Argentinian I'm thinking it must be are they both Argentine? Gaston gaudio. And I'm thinking of Puerto, although there was courier. Oh, Gaston gaudio? Was he no less? No. No Gaston gaudio. Gael corriere is correct though. So he was ranked number 5. Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras would be the Americans. Andre Agassi is correct. He was four. The other American actually was not Pete Sampras. The other American was Andy Roddick, yes, he was the last, well, obviously Medvedev now, but yeah, back then he was the number one ranked player Andy Roddick. Oh gosh, of course. Sorry, Roddick. And then two left, a French man. And a German. Oh, Tommy Haas, for Germany, surely. Not a bad shout, but incorrect. Nicholas kiefer? No. Nope. I'll be very impressed if you get the German and any of our listeners actually get the German player. And the French man as well is the French man is too early for songa. Oh, maybe it's like arno clemons. Oh, that is very much the right era. It's a bastion. Did he ever get to the top? Don't you remember him? Not Sebastian lodger, but it is a Sebastian. Oh, Sebastian. Oh. Nate, I'm going to have to give out. Okay. Sebastian Grosjean. Grosjean was in number ten position and the final one, the German and listeners a little applause if you were able to get this rhino shutler. I do remember seeing him at Wimbledon a few years after that. He was ranked number 6 in the world. Which I completely forgot about until right now, but yeah, he was pretty handy player. I always remember Sebastian Grosjean. I swear he played Tim henman like a thousand times at Wimbledon. But great, yeah, great double handed backhand. But yeah, those were all ten. Roddick, Federer, Ferrero, agassiz, courier shutler, moya. Now bandy and philippoussis and Grosjean. Fantastic. That's very interesting, Joel. Thank you for that part of the course. That's definitely the hardest one. I will be ruining Leighton Hewitt's inability to stay in the top ten come February 2004. I'm wonder if he got back into the top ten after that I'm sure he would have done, but we shall see. We do have a passing shot mailbag as well this week. We had quite a few questions come in. So thank you everyone who did send them in. But Emma has been chosen this week. She got in touch via email. Hello, Joel and Kim, following on from Yelena oster penko, rediscovering her French Open Grand Slam winning form from 2017 this season. Which single slam women's champion, would you next like to see magically find their form again and have a resurgence back up the rankings? So obviously, the Austrian guy won a tournament recently getting to that form of her. Back in the top ten, doing really well again. Who are you kind of going for Joel with this one? Because there's individuals just single slam champions. Still on the tour that aren't quite up there right at this moment. Yeah, I mean, Emma radda khanu obviously is the answer on everyone's lips, right? No. It's way too recent Joe. Way too recent. Yeah, no, I'm going to go, I'm going to go for Sofia kennan. Mainly because her form at the moment is shocking. She lost in the first round. I think today to had admire, she hit like 70 odd unforced errors. I feel like she's in a bad place at the moment with her with her form. I don't know what's going on with it in her camp. But it's not good and it's complete worlds away from where she was at when she did win her when she did win a maiden Grand Slam title. And given how far I think she's fallen from the tree. For me, I want to see a miracle worker come into the comment is Kennedy team and get her back up and be that fiery, no nonsense player that I think we just, you know, we see now more, I think, in Danielle Collins at the top of the rankings, but I still think there's room for Kenyan and I don't like to see how the decline has been so quick and so rapid that, yeah, I've just been a bit kind of shocked by it and you know, I don't think it's obviously going to be easy. I think she can do it. And I think she will take confidence from players like oster penko, who have done it, Stevens also has found some form. So yeah, for me kenin is my pick who I'd like to see kind of have a bit of a resurgence. But if I'm being quite honest, I can't see it happening anytime soon. Yeah, I would agree with you on all fronts, you know, I'd love to see her back up there..

"This is Bloomberg law with June Grosjean from Bloomberg radio I've been talking to Ross guberman a legal writing coach About some recent circuit court opinions that are getting attention because of their sarcasm Judge James Ho has also been it's been noted a lot of his opinions have been talked about In one he was concurring and there was a dissent And it seemed like they were both carping at each other Does that affect their relationships on the bench I mean these judges have to work together for a long time perhaps they have to negotiate to get them on their side I mean there's no doubt about it you're absolutely right I mean I know I know you're right I hear these things In my work you know judge Ho is on the 5th circuit that this circuit is notoriously ten right What's different factions and judges not being overly fond of other factions Their stories I think you can Bloomberg and elsewhere about even the Supreme Court Justices having tension Not all about it right I mean the traditionally there's been a line They won't cross You know I think justice Scalia kind of famously made a crack about justice Kennedy something that burger fell about putting a bag over my head I think since then not that I'm saying it's just as fully as fault in any way shape or form I mean it's just a lot of people try to copy him Since then it's been I think judge has probably a good example of any It's been pretty common to have kind of name calling and a little bit of playground kind of kept fighting on the playground rhetoric one judge and the other I think what you're describing from judge how I mean the 5th circuit that allows splintered attentions where you have one of these I'm concurring in part two B but not the word and now three a so the one thing I know from getting to know a lot of judges is they're just They really are just like the rest of us right They also like you know they will keep that work and I don't like people shots of them Yeah of course it causes pensions I mean I suppose if you ask them they would say that's not the most important thing to me Having everybody get along for the Christmas party it's not as important to me as whatever my vision of the constitution is You mentioned justice Scalia who was known for his brilliant writing style fiery descents do you see the kind of flair that justice Scalia had Well I think the problem is the general problem in life when you try to copy somebody whether you're a sculptor or a circuit court opinion writer So what I think people have forgotten is that 99% of what justice fully erode including in the Susan Was not in the potshot category It wasn't in the narcissa the snarky pure applesauce quote unquote category So what I think what some of these newer judges are doing without realizing it is they're sort of copying those barbs that justice play would use But they don't really come across as well or is effectively because the rest of the rest of the opinion are concurrent sort of dissent Isn't quite as strong where it's not as justice Scalia was founded genuine but do you like it or not It was like his voice And do you seem a little bit more like capacity or like I want to like have everybody talk about me the way people talked about justice Scalia saying pure applesauce in an opinion So yeah he also of course had the stature right So justice Scalia even among his foes what's just going to get more different when he was injustice for what he would do in writing that some of the judges certainly been on the bench for years And sometimes it's like anytime there's somebody new the new kid on the block Sometimes they sound I know just from what I hear also other judges who have been on the bench for a while They sound a little spoiled or cocky right Like okay I've been doing this for two years and I now know I know everything And I'm going to just show the rest of the circuit where they've gone wrong So you call it performance art in the circuits How so explain that Well if you again if you sort of watch what happened exactly what I was trying to say in the article I mean can you just gotten a lot of attention for that concurrence with insurance People keep talking about it bringing it up Reporters are on the story They're in multiple articles So I actually mean performance started in a pretty straightforward letter away They're not really in the moment operating as a normal federal judge They're playing to an audience And by the way there's nothing wrong with that And people tend to dislike it mainly when it's what the judge they don't agree with ideologically I mean a lot of justices and judges engage in rhetoric or they have examples or metaphors or in terms of phrases that are clever whether they think they are But in this case but it's not like a little bit of it's not like a brief moment of performance art That's quite an entire concurrence to a concurrence Performance art So again it changed They're now thinking about audiences right Maybe it's somebody in The White House maybe it's somebody on Twitter They're thinking about audiences besides the official audience for a federal judge which is supposed to be the parties the council the other.

"So for me, it was clear that I wanted to keep racing. There was so many people turning me. I could stop. I could go and work with their faer. It could be TV TV and do all of that, but at the end of I know, guys, you know, I'm on the racing. And I had to put together the deal to make it with daily coin. And go from there being far from my family. Making probably zero money. And going racing and finding going back to the roots, which I enjoy no personal trainer with me on my own doing my flight became a rental car going the old days old school and driving my boss. And actually, I really enjoyed it. And Noah, just I'm joining one of the biggest team in motor sport Andretti, you know, such a huge name and such another to be racing for Michael and Mayo and the family. Having for me, Bahrain was positive experience because I came out of it. When back to the roots of racing and no being able to leave something incredible and bring the family in the U.S. and share moments that we couldn't have shared Formula One. No, it's a very different world. And you knew you were leaving it before that Bahrain crash. But and I know you'd been talking to IndyCar teams by that stage, but where was it all? Did you know you were definitely moving to IndyCar before that accident or with your career still up in the air at that point? It was up in the air, we had to put the deal with going together. You know, making sure that it was going to work. Obviously they didn't being a small team. They financially they didn't they needed some backup funding. So hard to bring a sponsor in to make it work. Which is the last very important guy in my career. To see you on front of mind maze because without him, I don't think that deal could have happened in IndyCar and without that deal I wouldn't have signed an Andretti. And being able to go and maybe fight for championships. So really, yeah, it was a big decision. It was a big risk as well. You know, coming from Formula One with the image Formula One. Things could have gone wrong. It could have been scared. I could not have adapted to it, but I think it's completely the opposite of enjoy driving it. And yeah, I'm ready to tackle it all, including the Indy 500 and Texas and so on. And obviously get a win soon. It's been more than ten days ten years now. And the championship as well, you know, having indicate championship would be pretty cool way. And again, Formula One was incredible for me ten years. Never thought I could do that. Obviously, I wish to add one races and championship, but again, I'm proud of what I did. Which is the most important were you reluctant to leave a form when that deal was up or were you looking forward to the fresh start at IndyCar? I was done from the first race in 2020. I was done. We had not done any testing in four months. I went out in through practice. First lap a loss to break it down three. And in the race, again, lost the break. You know what? That team is going nowhere. And there's no other opportunity because there's nothing you can show is that car. So I'm an expensive driver for this plenty of young guys coming through from different driver academy that build my Ferrari. So there's no real room for me. So yeah, it's quite funny. It was I was sitting right here when I was talking to my wife, one day at 7 p.m. and I am not, I'm not carrying on with hash. I'm done. And I'm going to do something else. And by the time I finished my sentence, Gunther called and told me that we needed funding and it is sponsoring. You need to drive it to pay drivers. So keep it going. Say, okay, but I was yeah, for me it was already. I was gone, and it was finished in Formula One. Yeah, and like you say, though, the way that that story has gone since and stepping into the IndyCar, it's a very different world. Could you imagine it going so well? Because like you say, your whole life has now changed. We're talking. I know people might have heard in the background. Your wife sorting things out. You're about to go over to Miami, you've been packing the house up. I mean, it's all completely different now for you. Yeah. It is a new company new chapter. I mean, even in my wildest dream, I don't think could have gone as good as one Asia. From the pleasure. It's a very selfishly unjoined driving for position podiums to the support from the fans. Chicago, New York, anywhere walking in the streets. I got selfies every 300 meters. It's been incredible all the grandstands shouting at my name, the driver intro and the race course. And going into a huge team, so yes, I mean, first, it's a very, very exciting adventure. We're going in the U.S. for at least two years, but I feel like we're going to stay a little bit longer because there's a lot we can do and drive us tends to be able to be very competitive until later and Formula One in America. Yeah, and I know you've got a lot ahead of you in IndyCar, but we've talked a lot about what you've achieved previously as well. So just to wrap this up, what would you say has been the biggest lesson you've learned from your career? But whether it's in Formula One, whether it was in another series, just what are the main things that have maybe shaped you to be who you are today? I think it's the resilience through criticism, tough time, good time. And never give up. I think that's yeah, that's been familiar. Something that if I can, if I can give to my kids and be an inspiration in that way, I think that's very important. People who always ask me, what's your advice when you start go guarding and say, never give up always try, you know, you don't know what's next? What's around the corner? Yeah, I don't think anyone can doubt your resilience after everything you've been through both earlier on your career and more recently obviously in Bahrain and then the wave bounced back. It's been great to see. So Roman, really looking forward to seeing how IndyCar goes to you next season and thank you so much for giving us your time and telling us your story. Thank you, my pleasure..

"Sure that you're perfect. And it's easy just to go a little bit too far because perfect meaning, okay, so I win the race I'm safe, but also if you try to win the race and you don't have the car it doesn't go right. Do you think that played a part then it may be a slightly slower start to 2013 because that seemed to be the opposite type of season where it took a little while to get going, but then you finished really, really strongly. Yeah. No, actually, we had in 2012, we used a cursed recovery map and the braking with a feature the low pressure brake pressure. That was kept into 2013 for some reason. And we didn't realize that until Bahrain. So the first two races were really hard because I couldn't understand what Kimi was one Australia finished second in China. And I think if any second to two times ten, but miser word I just couldn't understand it. And then in Bahrain, we find that out. So I was on a podium, the race after the rear suspension broke. Silverstone front wing broke. then we had a bit of a clash with and a big one and a lot just because in Silverstone. I was trying to pass a car. Kimi was behind me. They were telling me to let him buy, but I was also fighting for my position and we had a big argument in the truck and I went to Germany 23rd in not even talking to him and just doing my business. And that's a race I should have won 50 times if it wasn't for Julian donkey car going backwards into the back straight. And that set up a really good really good start for me. It was that the run that made you really feel safe and F one those run of towards the end of 2013 with the performances you were putting in. Yeah, it was very strong. As well as she was from villains, the car was amazing. And then 2014 happened. And that in my career, I think that was the year that decided that I was never going to be winning races in Formula One. Just because the car was such a terrible car, the team had no more finance that didn't know that was spending a 160 million. We only got a 120 of budget. So yeah, then, you know, the idea was a complete write off, and then 2015 was better, but still very complicated. Then we didn't know if so I learned that after I've been in 2015, I had a contract with 2016. But also they had signed pastor and Jordan Palmer already. So there are three drivers signed for 2016. So yeah, I went for the Hass adventure, which looked like a good project. It was good at beginning and then obviously the end was a bit more painful. Yeah, I was going to say, how tough was that move to make? Because that was leaving the one team you'd been with the whole time in Formula One and that you'd proven yourself with. And you'd become the team leader and then you go to a brand new project that you don't know how it's gonna go. No, exactly. But it was a good challenge. It was 30 at a time. And it was a good contract that I was going to come with us. For the whole project was very interesting. And there was also a way that you could get linked to Ferrari by being with us and developing the team. So yeah, it was for me a very nice challenge. And I don't regret it. The only thing I regret is that when it was time that, you know, we wanted to play in a bigger player league. Meet 2018. I realized I was not going to happen and no changes were made and therefore I was just going to go backwards. You mentioned the Ferrari link there. Was that the main driving factor? If you thought maybe the way lotus hadn't worked out and you weren't going to be in a race winning card that being close to Ferrari might be your way to get into a top team. Well, it was definitely it was easier to do that than being with oh no. And we didn't at the time our son was asked. He didn't know if when I was committed or not, we had no idea what the team was going. So also for me, yeah, with you. Like a safe bet in terms of pursuing in Formula One. And I'll say, it was a great it was a great advantage for three years. Did you have any other options at the time though when you left lotus to join house or was it the only real one on the table? And they went they weren't anything else. You mentioned that the quarantine did get less competitive, the longer you were there. Do you feel that kind of hurt your reputation? Was it frustrating to be a driver that was probably reaching his peak as a driver, but the machinery he was in was going the other way. Yeah, probably. Probably, you know, people don't realize so much the car does in Formula One. And I think D.C. has seen Kevin Magnussen winning insa and myself doing great in any car people have realized that it wasn't a driver. They used to come. But when you don't know in details, it's obviously very hard and everyone says, or Luis Hamilton is incredible. Yes, it is incredible but it's also got the best car the best engineers best crew as those Macs. And without that, you know, look at Fernando Alonso. When he was my client, he was two time world chairman, fell under his incredible driver. And when the car was just not there without Q one every weekend. While he can do miracle, things go really well, but it's once in a while. And obviously, yeah, then your reputation is out and you're not an interesting guy anymore on the market. When you talk about miracles, I mean, let's get on to the Bahrain crash. How would you view that in the context of your career? Because is it a big break for you in terms of the fact you survived it or is it negative that people now remember you for that rather than driving things and the fact that you had to go through it at all? No, I think for me it's a positive experience because I came up came out alive with a lot of respect from people. They've seen a much of food for my career. But also for my life in that incident. And I came back to raising probably a different mentality and enjoy and have been very successful. So the whole story is a very inspiring story. And I think people yes, they would guess that would always remember that crash, you know, I think it's an image that was around the world and it's been very big. But they're also see what I've what I did before and what I'm able to do now. And the fact that I don't give up. And I think in terms of people, there's a lot of people coming to me and saying, you and inspiration. And that's for me that is crazy to imagine that I can be an inspiration because it's such a beautiful thing. But yes, you know, I went through I went through hell came back and added a few of the love reason to stop racing. But I said, no, you know, that's my passion, that's what I like doing. And I want to go back. And one back and yeah, become successful in the U.S. and now it's just incredible to support that I can have over the race weekend in the U.S. and how many fans and it's just an amazing. Well, you mentioned there was a lot of reasons for you to stop. What were your first thoughts about racing after the crash? Whenever you first thought about being in a car again or what you're going to do next, what was your first order? I never thought it was going to stop because I wanted to go back to Abu Dhabi to the last race. So I was pushing everything..

"And then eventually, you know, I come back to GP two, when everything, and then those guys, that farm you have to admit the next step that I would come back. So I detest in Brazil and Abu Dhabi FP one two session at the end of 2011. One pretty well and then on the 8 of December 2011, my wife's first day, so I remember the date. I got a phone call for merengue, saying, okay, you got the sit for 2012. You know, and obviously I had to try to be as perfect as I could, just to not give any opportunities to the car that didn't want me to come back to have argument against me. Which is not an easy situation to be in. No, but it must have been so nice to get that call for American. I hope you brought your wife an extra special birthday present when you knew you were going to be an F one driver. But then how important was Eric then in that return? Who was the key person or who were the key people that kind of opened the door for you to come back? Because like you say that it's hard for people to admit their mistakes sometimes. Well, you know, it's hard to know exactly who was who and I think all Lopez was at the end of the one financing, I was finding the funds for the team. So I guess he was east school, obviously, was involved with dams and I was a gravity driver also, which was the management program. So he was also important, but I think we the key there was shampoo giving me the chance to raise GP two. And as well as Christopher de Marjorie, the CEO of total that basically told lotus that they were interesting in the sponsorship, but the sponsoring, but they wanted a French driver. Key stuff like me and liked him a lot. And I think, you know, when I mentioned a few key people through my career, obviously my dad at first, Jean-Paul, free stuff. And another one later on, we may talk about, but those were very, very important people, obviously, Eric also. But I would say the guy that made it happen. Well, you talk about important people, but then you had some pretty important performances as well when you got in, like you say, you felt the need to make sure no one could criticize you or kind of come at you for the way you were driving at the start of 2012 when you put some stunning performances chasing podiums and wins in what was really good car. But what was your feeling at that time? Was it did you feel like you belonged in F one? Did you feel like you'd secured your future or were you feeling under pressure all the time to keep proving yourself? It wasn't, it wasn't easy. I think it almost came too quick too good. Fred raised more podium. Then almost winning the European Grand Prix finishing so on in Canada. Finishing third again in Hungary. And then was on track. But that obviously didn't help. And then, yeah, I was just trying to I think it was just trying too hard to win to prove that I could do it. That's what drove me into Mark Webber in 2012 with Suzuka having that year that was my big mistake. Suzuka, 2012, pushing Markov, that was bad. In spa, you know, he's Luis, I think we could have both 70% me, okay, done better. But I think there were we could have escaped one was in Suzuka, which it was just me. So I was yeah, I mean, when you so close to winning a race and you first season and you got fired and you had to prove everything to come back, I just think I was just trying too hard and that obviously drove me into some trouble and a lot of people are thinking that there was a good year in 2012. Because they remember obviously span, but also as a rookie coming Formula One and having podiums three. And you first properly don't think you can say it was a bad year. And I think just the perspective and the image made it harder on me because instead of saying, you know, it's a good year you've been fighting for wins. We focused on the negative, which was a bit of a shame and that drives you down. Well, yeah, how much did spa then affect you? Because like you say, you feel like it wasn't all on you and I remember the steward's decision at the time saying, because that was actually the first race that I was at in the media center watching. And I didn't watch it happen and think that you'd on your own done something crazy. But the stewards made the point of the fact that it put people in danger, but B you took out a load of championship contenders, which seems a bit unfair about who was involved. How did you feel? Did you feel unfairly treated? Because a race ban was a pretty severe punishment. We hadn't seen one of those in a long time. Yeah, I think the decision from this duo inspired 2012 was wrong. Yes, I penalty yes. And you can tell Nico hill could be the same a few years later and he got a ten grid place penalty in Monza. But I got a raise band. I got a €50,000 fine. Which was 25% of my salary at the time. It's huge. And yeah, I think it was in it, I mean, yes, yes, it's bias. It went wrong, luckily, no one got hurt. But I don't think it was justified. But then he thinks Suzuka was the one because I remember Mark Webber then that famous quote that came out afterwards of calling you a first lap nut case that was tough to shake off for a few years. But it was that one you accepted as more your error than. Yeah, I was a big mistake for me. I accept that, I think Mark went too far and lost a bit more respect that day. Because you don't say that, you know, you just, you know happens. We all make mistakes. And yes, I made one that day. But I also learned from me to say, you know, you get into that spiral where you've been raised band for race. You try to come back to everything perfect. And it just puts so much pressure you want to do so well, it's hard. And, you know, we all see that. And it happened, it's hard. You know, it's very odd. If we look at UK to know that this year, I really like you a lot. And it started and it was the new superstar of the Bahrain. And then he went through quite a rough patch. And it shows that it's a very fine line performance wise, find where you need to be at. And that's where you need to get the support, which I didn't have, because it was always Eric was always like, oh yeah, if you don't do good next race, you out. So you go into the race and you know, you just it's already a lot of pressure is already hard as it is Formula One. And on top of that,.

"You know that they would change you though? Because as a young driver, you must have really needed stability and time to improve and to kind of settle in. How quickly did you know that that wasn't likely to happen? Because that can't have help. Well, it was I was told in Abu Dhabi that all was going okay, I was going to be in next year. Yeah, we're going to be racing together. And then obviously moving up and then airing Julia was in charge. I was in touch with Zara. And he was telling me the first test where early February. And he says, by the end of January, if I've got no one, that's you. But then on the 31st of January, 2010, I got the funko family thing. We've signed vital Petrov so there's no more room for you. So that wasn't it. That was an ideal. I thought I wish that opportunity I'm not coming 2009, but more in 2010. But again, you can say no. So you just take it and you hope for the best. Yeah. At that point, I think it's fair to say that a lot of people then thought that was it for you that you'd had your F one chance and it wasn't going to work out because the team had changed. And it would have been easy for you to fall away from Formula One at that stage. It's kind of easy now to forget how tough it would have been to bounce back from that. What helped you stay close to F one? Because you went and raced a Ford GT and were successful. But it wasn't until I think what halfway through 2010 that you got back in a single seater. Yeah, I think it's all there were a few days been key people in my career. And one of them was Jean-Paul Rio, the owner of dams. And I was raising four GT and then I don't know how but I got a phone call from damn saying days that championship the O two GP championship. And we have a car. There's good prize money, but you raise for free and we get the prize money in the show, you know? Sounds great. And then first race was spa. And I won and finished the reverse grid of niche on the right through some of that. And then damps was really struggling in GP two. So chapel called me and he said, look, I want you in a kind of I want to understand if my engineers are able to drive as nowhere and they need to kick in the nut. And so I want to hook an eye if we look at the end result. It wasn't good on the paper, but we actually had a really good pace. We were very fast. I should have been much better if it wasn't for a meeting with pasta Maldonado in rice too. So yeah, you know, I think then we can finish an example to queen is in his office in the truck and he says, look, I don't know what you're going to do next year, but you know that you have a sit here and GP two for free. I pay for everything. But I want to win the championship. That's what happened, you know, the next year we were together. He paid for the full season GP to Asia and GPU series. And we won both championship. And we launched a team into a very successful sparrow. They won GP two. A few more times. I didn't know one of the best team out there. And I must say I'm still very proud that I was the one in 2011 coming in and putting the team back on track and giving me confidence to the engineers and showing them the way to go forward. And yeah, I mean, that was 2007, 2011 and probably 2021 has been three very very exciting years. Yeah, if we focus on what drew did for you, I mean, how rare was that for a team owner to say, you don't have to pay at such an expensive level as well that I just want you in my car even in a junior category. How important or sorry, how rare was that? Well, that was definitely key to meeting with Jean-Paul when he told me he was going to pay for having because it was out there, it would have been I wouldn't have defunding and would have been able to do it and come back to Formula One. So I was also doing some DTM test at the time. With BMW, the first one was loudly. The second one was BMW. Andreas sad was at BMW. And yeah, I had an offer from BMW to go professional racing driver and DTM, or try to take my chance again in GP two. We've dumped and make it back to Formula One. And at a discussion with my wife and she says you don't want to have any regrets. Try, you know? If it works great if it doesn't work well, you do something else. And when to, yeah, I want to GP two with Jean-Paul and that super crazy successful year. And that's set up my comeback to Formula One with lotus in 2012. I don't think we should overlook as well. You mentioned auto GP. Yeah, you first and second in your first two races. One again at magni call, you're on the podium for the last four one two of those, and one of the title, even though you missed the first four races of the season. So you'd obviously convince dams how good you were. But you needed to convince, I guess other F one teams to give you another chance, Renault specifically lotus as it became. How did talks with them sort of go? Were you still involved from what had happened previously or had you been cut adrift and you had to come back? Yeah, completely cut adrift and I had to come back with and it's very hard to come back into the same team for you because you weren't good enough at first. You know, it is the engineers were telling the new owners to all of us that the drivers Fernando was good, but the other driver was the problem the car was in that bad..

"I think it was delayed Sam at the time or IoT now. We just completely illuminated the age of series and that was incredible. So I think at that point, yeah, they did realize that, okay, that young guy may have something to make it to the top. Without fight with hulkenberg and Kobayashi, did you know at the time how significant it was that these now they're big names to people in Formula One, but at the time, obviously you were juniors. So did you know that these were very, very talented drivers or do you have no idea at that point? Well, yeah, I knew they were fast and you know, we've seen each other carry a pass and I knew they were fast and I had to beat them. Obviously, I didn't know we would that year in formula three, it was Sebastian, boom, as well. It was a motor sport. So four drivers making it to Formula One was pretty pretty impressive for years. So yes, it was we didn't know we were going to make it, but definitely it was a very competitive year and a lot of fun. And then as you say, GP two Asia series, you dominated that. And I went into the GP two series, which was going well, but was there a race at any point where you felt close to the F one drive? I know what was happening in F one would have played a big part. But was there any sort of performance you put in where you're like, they can't ignore me now if they want to put someone else in the car? I think it was a big one, feature race also Germany where I was running beyond Georgia pantano in the race and it started raining and we were on sleeks and I passed him and won the race, but then got a penalty for overtaking on the year of still haven't seen any proof that there were like that, but anyway, a winda wouldn't quite be yeah, sadly, I made a little bit some mistakes. In that year, all sorts of technical issues. So I finished fourth in the championship, but I think I could put on Julia warned, but I didn't think I could win it in the first year in GB two so I didn't go into mindset that I was fighting for the championship in the first year. Which maybe I should have, but anyway, I just enjoyed attacking and making my proof. And the year after, when the GP two again and at a very successful start of the season and then if I'm being honest, then my mind was just in Formula One, not anymore in GP two. So the result went a little bit down in GP two because I knew I was going to go to Formula One. And I was just focused on that. And it's a bit of a hindsight is a mistake. You know, I should have stayed focused and my GP two. But when you've been working that ad to make it to Formula One and you have the first phone call saying you're in the car next race. Then you just focus on that and not anything else. Is that how late it was that you just told it would be the next race or did you know earlier? Germany, 2009, I got the phone call from this pad simons at the time. So in Hungary, you in the car. And then on Monday I got a fun quarter from telling me no, they're giving Nelson the last chance for Hungary. So I was like, in 18 out. And then finally, after Hungary, I was flying to Anton actually that day on a British Airways plane, my phone ring and this time was okay. At that time, you were in the car for Valencia. That's Formula One starting. And yeah, I mean, incredible opportunities, but almost we study that come later and it would have done finished a GP two just get the experience because I got into the team that was in a tricky situation, I would say. Well, I was going to say we look for moments that would count as a big break in your career. And on the surface, you'd imagine this wasn't one because it didn't go so well, but you must have learned a lot. So what was the environment you found yourself in when they first put you in the car? What was it like for a young driver? It was okay. Honestly, it was okay. I wasn't ready. I wasn't told what to do. You know, when you grow to categories, you just think about setting up a car and winning races. And that's what I wanted to do in Formula One. But I didn't know about marketing the image to communication. And so on, yes, I didn't know. So I think I didn't do it right on that side. Also the car was not the best ever. So it was an easy. The performance wasn't far from when that far from Fernando. But yeah, at the end, you know, we used this crash gate story and everything went all the best game and both the team they wanted to clean everything that was here before. And I was part of the furniture that you would change. Yeah, when did you know that they would change you though? Because as a young driver, you must have really needed stability and time to improve and to kind of settle in. How quickly did you know that that wasn't likely to happen? Because that can't have help. Well, it was I was told in Abu Dhabi that all was going okay, I was going to be in next year. Yeah, we're going.

"Meeting top drivers, team managers and technical directors, asking them one simple question. What was the big break that led them to where they are today? I'm Chris medlin and in this episode, I'm joined by Roman Grosjean to discuss his rise to Formula One, getting dropped by Renault and having to fight back. The people that helped him return to the grid and the way his second chance in the sport panned out before that Bahrain crash, and his fresh start in the states. It has been a bit of a roller coaster ride that has been full of important lessons and experiences. So Roman, thank you very much for joining us. Let's talk to how you are, because you recently underwent surgery on one of your hands. What exactly was that for? And how did it go? Yeah. Well, I think it went all right. You know it was always planned that I would have a skin graft, at least on my index and trying to remove some of the wound just to make the skin a little bit better on the hand a little bit more flexible. I would say I was 9 5% okay, but it was still some restrictions. So we've decided with the surgeon to take the month of November off and try to make it look a little bit more pretty and also a little bit less painful of a day. Well, obviously that's Bahrain that caused that. And this podcast is about a big break and in some ways I'm sure you reflect on Bahrain as one of those and in other ways, maybe differently. But we'll get to that stage of your career later. Let's talk about when you're starting out first. We're going to go back a long long way. You had a successful karting career. But how tough was it to fund the step up to single seaters? Because that's often a big barrier to drivers. Yeah. Yeah, it was so, you know, I was lucky that my dad had made a good career as a lawyer. So he had some funds initially to pay for gold cards. And then I went to do a talent shootout from Lisa and Switzerland. And I warned that so I got CHF 50,000 in the day to raise in the Swiss championship the year after. Which I did, I think I got ten races. I got ten ports and win ten fasters lap basically. So a very successful year. And then I had to step up to Formula One two details in France and a little bit in Europe. And that's why my dad put a lot on table. Luckily wasn't the same digit as today, I don't think it could go anywhere. In 2020, the budget we had. But yeah, we managed to pay for two years. And the second year was French champion. And then I joined one other driver development academy that then was sorting out the financial side of it. Yeah, that seemed to be a very important step for you. But you had to convince ranner, obviously, that you were someone that they wanted to back. Let's talk about 2005 then your second year in French formula Renault. And you start the season with two podiums, but then you had a tough second pair of races. And then he headed to Pao. Then what happened? Can you remember? Well, there were yellow line drawn track and you were not allowed to it was the first one. I turned to the first one wiring and the yellow line would have the priority over the airplane because they didn't want any mass of the Alpine. And I think it was on Poland, didn't have a great start. But I launched an incredible overtake of a long gopi having on the outside of that corner. I reached a line first. There was a bit of a debate because long I was obviously not happy. But I followed the rules and one of my signature late break overtake that started there. And yeah, from that point, I think I won't few races. And managed to get the championship before even in the last race of the year. Yeah, you say quite a few races. I've got it done that you won ten of the next 11 and the only other one in that run, you would disqualified from. So I don't know if would you have won that ratio disqualified from or was that a I can't remember, but I know it was a good year and you know, then I went to see Ono. I went to see Red Bull Toyota and the day that the academy had built already a Swiss driver with Sebastian vehi Andi and they were now interested in French man because they couldn't sell Red Bull in France. Then Toyota was more interested into Japanese driver. And I wanted to see, oh no, and they told me there were no interested in the Swiss driver because I used to raise the Swiss flag of the day. And I told them I'm French as well. And they basically told me from no one. Only going to be French racing driver. And that's how I get into the program. And managed to step up all the way to Formula One. That must be quite strange being told you're going to be a different nationality of driver just for the team to be happy. But was that a sign of how important it was for you to do anything you could to get support from a big team? Or at that point, if you spoke to Red Bull and Toyota as well, did you feel like it was inevitable that a big Formula One team was going to be supporting your career? Well, it was I think it was inevitable. The formula €3 series of the day was €700,000 a year, I think, which is loads of money. And we couldn't afford it. So I had to have the backup from someone from an academy. That's when we went to see them. It's not having it would have been the end. And I would have probably tried to be an aerodynamic engineer in racing. But yeah, it was for me with key that I was entering one of those driver academy and they would help me become professional. So what would you say was so important in that time? Was it getting the backing of Renault in terms of talking to them and how did those talks go? Or do you think it was your performances before the open the door to those? It's definitely a performance that opened the door. Yeah. It was definitely winning. We had to talk a little bit the year before. And of 2004, but weren't sure that either a bit of an up and down season of one race as a rookie but also crashed twice in Paul also was second on third. So typical omega goes on first, he has a bit up and down and some good stuff, but also some learning and finding limits in the year after I just once the season started, I really dominated the championship. And I think they saw that. And it was always a case. It was always one year to learn one year to win. That went through formula three. And that was going as well in GP two until I got the phone call to good Formula One and didn't finish the 2009 GPU season. Yeah, that will happen very quickly. I mean, what do you think really put you on the team's radar for an F one seat originally? Do you think it was 2007 when you won the F €3 series, or was it maybe stepping up to bigger cars in 2008 when you did GP two agent? Well, I think it was a little bit of both 2007 was a key year with a lot of pressure because in my team 5 esteem, there were chemical biases with the third driver. Nico hulkenberg Willie Weber driver. And I was one of his 5 year boy adults. You can imagine that Willie was telling Niko if you don't win you out. I was being told if you don't win you out. And can you was probably told the same. So it was a very competitive year. We were always pushing ourselves to the maximum limit. And it was honestly it was one of my best year that I really enjoyed. Those cars were sensational. The team was great. So I won the championship and I stepped up to GP two for GP to Asia. And then we had a Luis Hamilton car from the GP two..

"Things are a lot better And the wages have gone up faster than inflation And we have generated real economic growth He said inflation has been fueled by global supply chain issues linked to the COVID pandemic I'm Brian shook This is Bloomberg law with June Grosjean from Bloomberg radio I've been talking to professor Stephen Wright at the university of Wisconsin law school about the Kyle rittenhouse trial which started today in Kenosha What about the fact that the first victims he shot four times In any self defense case the jury's going to consider the reasonableness of the defendant response And so in this case you know the jury will consider whether firing that many times from a semi automatic weapon was necessary But you know as a general rule juries tend to be barely forgiving once they've determined that a defendant's life was in danger In my experience they don't make a lot of differentiation between firing one time versus fire four times when somebody really feels that their life is in danger There is a lot of video of that night and some video of him is that going to be a large part of the either prosecution or defense case I think it's going to be an essential part of the defense Today the parties gave opening statements The defense wanted to show several pictures and videos of what was going on that night In particular they selected some pictures and videos that they say suggest the mister rittenhouse was in danger that he was being chased by people I know among the more provocative photos or some of the photos of individuals with skateboards winging or trying to hit mister ridden house The state very much objected to those being included in the opening but the defense was very out of him So as rittenhouse ran away from the scene a criminal complaint states that he told someone on the phone I just killed somebody Does that have any impact It could you know once again it could be evidence of what his state of mind was around the time of the shooting You're absolutely right I believe after the shooting of the first deceit mister ridden got on the phone and called and told somebody that he had shot somebody You know that will be evidence to what his state of mind was at that time around when he pulled the trigger But it won't necessarily be dispositive of one issue Also I saw video someone asked him what he was doing there and there was some video of him saying I'm here my job is to defend Was kind of odd Will that come in So it will probably come in but you know it may actually come in for the defense When you watch the full video mister rittenhouse says a couple things but he's basically says I'm here to defend property and to defend human lives But he also makes clear that he brought a med kit with him And so that's been part of the defense narrative the entire time But he was actually there to help to do good in the video mister rittenhouse suggests that he brought the man kit specifically to help anyone who had been hurt And he sort of said that the end I've also have a gun in case I need to defend myself while I'm helping So you know I think for many people that videos actually evidence that he came here to do good and to help others The biggest question in a defense is whether or not the defendant is going to testify Do you think in this case in order to show that he really feared for his life that he should take the stand In the United States the defendant almost always is the person who testifies laugh They're the closing act And so generally defensive attorneys don't make up their mind about whether defendant will testify until relatively late into the trial You know there's always tremendous risk of putting your client on the stand I suspect if the defense feels fairly confident based upon their witnesses and based upon the pictures and videos that they've shown that they've got a sympathetic jury he probably will not testify But you can imagine there's tremendous risk about putting a 17 year old on the stand in this type of cave You know the prosecutor I'm sure would be chomping at the bit for the opportunity to cross examine.

"Is Bloomberg law with June Grosjean from Bloomberg radio I've been talking to Mark lytle of Nixon Peabody about the Boeing pilot charged with deceiving U.S. aviation regulators in the first prosecution related to two fatal 7 37 max accidents in 2018 What are the other elements that prosecutors have to prove For example is materiality an element It is Materiality is an element in every broad case and they're going to have to show that but for these false statements things would have been different The FAA would have been different It's really hard to say because all of the statements allegations in the indictment that alleged fortner committed fraud there really about omissions and they're not clear they describe a couple of different interactions that forkner had had with the FAA after he learned about the mcas problems where he didn't disclose it And there's going to be like what is on his mind What is the context of those conversations but it's really rare to charge a case just based on omissions Usually you're looking for affirmative false statements And that makes it omissions make it difficult to prove that somebody had a material fall statement too It makes it more difficult I want to talk about Boeing settlement with the Justice Department which didn't cite for nearby name How will that play or will it play into his case No I haven't been able to review the settlement that much But it's certainly going to play a role I think generally for a defense of an individual to have a company for if you're certainly likely to blame Boeing and the pressures he received internally as he noted in some of his emails that he had pressure to not cost the company money And the defense attorney is going to maybe not legally have a basis to bring Boeing into the matter but it's certainly going to be something that's going to be in the background of the trial about how did someone how did this large company just have one person end up being charged criminally And how did what were the terms of Boeing's admissions that Boeing make any admissions in that settlement there's certainly their payment of money is it fair the defense attorney might raise Is it fair that Boeing doesn't receive criminal charges when a mid level employee does Or what is what looks like it appears to be an institution institutional breakdown So will the jury have to believe that he was a rogue employee who was carrying this out by himself or can they believe others were at fault as well and still find him guilty The jury can believe that others were at fault as well and still find him guilty It just goes to the sense of I think the arguments that the defense attorneys are likely to make are that the jury will appeal to the jury's sense of fairness And a jury can jury can nullify a verdict for any reason Now they get instructions from the court to follow the instructions and apply the elements of each charge to the facts proven at the trial But if the jury gets the sense that there's not fairness here it could really go the wrong way for the government You are a former federal prosecutor Would you rather be the prosecution or the defense Which side do you think has a stronger case Well this would be a tough one because in this case the crashes were so tragic the loss of life unnecessarily occurred and clearly Foraker had knowledge of this problem that could have prevented those crashes But it's clear that many other people knew or should have known about this and the defense are going to make a real big part of this case about the FAA and those FAA agents are going to have to testify a trial and they're going to be scorched on cross examination And it's likely I would think forkner could be convicted even if others weren't charged were involved when I charged in the case But I think that the jury it's going to be tough for the jury to go forward If the defense is able to get into their arguments the fact that foreigners kind of escape go Is there a possible There's always a possibility of a play do you think that the prosecutors might be looking to flip him They might This was a but this was a pretty extensive investigation and when the company entered into the settlement And again I haven't read the terms going settlement It would appear that Boeing did a pretty extensive internal investigation and cooperated with the government Extensively So I would think that I would think that they have all the information that this is probably going to be the only charge coming out of it Really because even Peter di fazio the Democrat from Oregon said senior leaders throughout Boeing are responsible for the culture of concealment that ultimately led to the 7 37 max crashes He's saying this shouldn't be the only indictment I think he's right I think it shouldn't be the only indictment but from reading the fact that Boeing that Boeing was allowed to settle and that Boeing's I would expect Boeing would have done a really thorough internal investigation into their compliance and that they would have done extent to be allowed to settle like this they would have extensively cooperated with the government So my expectation based on my experience the charges that came out now would have been inclusive of all of the people they felt they could make a charge and had a reasonable likelihood of conviction at trial Things could change of course and maybe could provide conversations that weren't recorded in email or something that the government doesn't have So of course that could always happen But I'm surprised it's only four here but I would also be surprised if other people were charged in this case What kind of sentence is he looking at Sentencing guidelines are with fraud cases are triggered and tied to what the loss amount was to the victim of the crime If he gets convicted and there have sentencing the defense and the prosecution are going to have a lot of sparring over weather forkner is accountable for the loss that these airlines suffered as a result of the crashes Their liability to passengers also that Boeing settlement 2.5 billion clearly Boeing is providing that amount and fortunate would argue after convicted that sentencing that he wasn't responsible for these losses He would argue for a much lower sentence than maybe the guidelines Otherwise if it's the whole amount he's going to have very high guidelines probably up to life in prison I don't expect a judge to give him that amount of time I think the judge would probably look at this and find he was a mid level employee But there certainly was a lot of loss of life The number of people who died in these crashes is really horrific So I would expect significant sentence maybe between 5 and ten years Thanks Mark That's Mark lidl of Nixon Peabody.

The team also looking at separate that's a limit tree after he was restarted. They expect some under wing damage to that car as well that not so easily repair. They will replace the nose cone of the number 12 car for Team Penske, he says. The steering is straight. So that's the good news for willpower. But not the day Wait to start the day that the team Penske crew We're hoping for how about you on your end, Alex? Well, James Hinchcliffe looks like the most severely damaged car in the sense that they're saying a lower right front Wishbone needs to be changed in the car. They told James to stay in the car while they tow it back then to be able to get out because it's looking like 20 to 30 minutes of repair work. They're going to try to get it back out for points on the other end of the pits involved in the incident. Oliver ask you tried to give play by play of what happened from his perspective. They tell him it wasn't his fault will try to find out what happened. But while they're trying to reorder things are going to ask him to save fuel.

As Alex talked about James Hinchcliffe being pushed behind the wall. It looked like heavy suspension damage for a Roman Grosjean. There was a lot going on down there and turn one. What all have you seen after viewing a couple replace? So what it looked like is the front two rows just overshot completely overshot the corner, which means it's tax. Everybody else up behind them as well. There on the brakes, lock them up. Hinchcliffe just didn't get slowed down enough of Grosjean. Those two just went on that inside. When you go way down low to the right side of that race track. There's no rubber down there. Nobody runs down. There's dirty. Its message to your braking is terrible. And so the whole field goes the bottom trying not to get past On the low side, not realizing they're not going to be able to stop and I think that's what happened to everybody that had an incident, which means 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Place cars and I think part award started seven.
