Underwater fulls there is an atmosphere of mayhem and joy here at the radio studios this morning is pinned down still today as an 8 40 am Hugh has a very special guest this morning I do on the next few days are going to be giving petrolheads a bit of a tree the Formula One season starts next month but so does the Indy Car season in the States many would have heard of the Indy 501 of the most famous races in the world while competing in that and the rest of the series for the 1st ever British team Collett in the 2nd season is the answer next to me he is like the gentleman Max children. Thank you. First of all could you explain to us in a very simple way the differences between Formula One and Indy car and is it just that in Formula One you turn both left and right you're halfway there if you if you don't know very well they look pretty much identical and they pretty much do the same speed 240 miles an hour. Probably a little bit bigger a little bit heavier but sometimes occasionally race on an oval which is just keep turning left Pete turning left and the Indianapolis $500.00 is the biggest race of the year which is averaging 242 miles an hour for a lap but we do do street circuit some road courses so we're used to turning left and right which is where I've come from so I enjoy it so the Indy $500.00 is one of the Triple Crown of race events that you want to try and win it's the Monaco Grand Prix it's the 24 hours in the Indy $500.00 you relayed the Indy $500.00 a couple years ago for about half of it I didn't quite manage it so how desperate are you to try and do well in that race Yeah I've been fortunate to compete in all 3 of them but obviously not won any of them from and Alonzo actually came across in 2017 and was leading at the year I lead most of the laps and I lost the lead with 5 laps to go so I've sort of tasted a little bit by Haven't actually tasted the milk at the end which is when you win so I'm desperate to win it. Because it's chaotic isn't it it's actually 500 mile race doing 240 miles an hour so to put that in layman terms as I've gone from London to Land's End and back to London in 2 and a bit hours you know it's pretty fast and something the president is always like no $45.00 you're racing for a British team and this is the 1st British team to ever compete in the in the series The These are so how competitive Can you guys be here Carl in a fantastic team good car and we had our 1st year last year and the last team which was to do it before that was 3040 years ago was McLaren and then actually back on the grid as well so there's a there's a big. Simon behind the series Fernando is actually coming back this year to the D.N.A. Analysis 500 and I'm really excited to hopefully have another attempt at trying to win the holy grail of my discipline so the 1st race is in Florida next weekend and look at him and Richie he's 10 that he hasn't even been to the State House. Is that from the last couple of days I mean. Actually I'm getting really into my gardening so probably a bit of it is I'm turning into Mr Alan Titchmarsh talking about Melissa Nic are being brilliant I think because it's the polar opposite why does nice and calm and peaceful so I do enjoy getting into the guard what we wish you well for the gardening and the racing at 240 miles an hour for the next few weeks back still to go. To do you really are also a big Spice Girls fan and you just plain rich out of the water with the fact that you have to do with a couple times and her family because you have a connection there yes Step Brothers a guy called Paul and now he's one of the most entertaining racing drivers you can ever have the pleasure of meeting we actually had dinner with her in Barbados a few years ago she's great fun and who isn't a secret because I don't know I do enjoy seeing it very badly to a Spice Girls song in the car yes exactly Richard Ricci space is furious What do you mean you had to be well. You need to be involved in a just pretty good at getting good luck Max really really lovely to me it's very large and. Over to Rich. Then on the M 77 northbound the interested road is partially blocked to junction 2 for Bar head road this is due to a broken arm down and it's broken down as you can down the traffic lights Silva burn shopping center to the M 6 north and now we've got slow traffic at Junction $485.00 a Castle Bromwich this is due to an earlier accident but all lanes have since been reopened the M one southbound we're going to lane closure from Junction 14 from Milton Keynes to 13 for Bedford broken down car and it's broken down in the road works area the A 1 am in Cambridge where the southbound side the slope. 17 for paid to burn 16 for yeah that studio not a broken I'm called to be reopening the M 4 westbound we're going to Lane close the junction 8 for Maidenhead this is because of an accident it's slow all the way back to 6 with our travel times 45 minutes I'm afraid the M 23 southbound just before 9 forget we can pull that. 12 miles of Q.C.
