MID-WEEK 180 - McLaren and Ferrari Clash over Budget Caps _ 34 Vids and counting !
**Midweek 180**
In this special midweek update, we bring you news, views, and information about upcoming reviews all filmed in one take. We'll start by checking in with our Leader of the Pack from last week's Famous Five challenge. Congratulations to Harry Archer for joining forces with Simon W Francois, GEE Andrew Lord, and Stevie double-oh-seven. Whoever puts the first comment on this week's video will become the new Leader of the Pack next week, and the first five commenters will be part of our famous five.
We're looking for your input, so where are you and what's new with you? Stevie oh seven shared a hilarious story about trying to shave his own hair, which ended up going completely awry. I must admit, I've had my fair share of DIY disasters in the past. Last week, I forgot to ask a question during our Q&A session, but that's a story for another time. This week's question is all about forgetting: what's the worst thing you've ever forgotten? I've been guilty of forgetting important dates and booking the wrong week off work. Luckily, we discovered it just before our holiday in France, and we had to adjust our plans at the last minute.
**F1 Update**
The world of F1 is buzzing with news about budget caps. Mattia Binotto, Ferrari's CEO, has sparked controversy by expressing his doubts about rushing into any new budget cap regulations. Binotto believes that a reduction in spending would devalue F1 and undermine its competitive spirit. Meanwhile, McLaren team principal Zak Brown seems to be on the opposite side of the debate. However, it's worth noting that the current cap for 2021 is set at $150 million per team, with some exceptions excluding driver salaries.
Brown has taken to social media to respond to Binotto's comments, suggesting that a reduction in spending would have significant implications for F1's financial stability and competitiveness. Meanwhile, Ferrari gets a significant proportion of their revenue from F1 due to their rich history and reputation as one of the most successful teams in the sport. New cars are not expected this week, given the ongoing pandemic, but our Car of the Month series continues.
**Car Vlog 19**
Our Car Vlog 19 has been a huge success so far, with 34 videos uploaded to date. I'm thrilled to say that we're still coming up with fresh ideas for the vlogs, and I hope you're enjoying them as much as I am! In the next video, we'll be featuring some fantastic Peddlers' rides, including Porsches. If you're interested in more car content, please subscribe to our channel.
In other news, I recently let Mrs. Petrol Head get rid of my quiff, and while it was a bit of a traumatic experience, I think she did an excellent job. Now, I'm looking forward to seeing what the next vlog brings – maybe some modifications to Ruby Roadster? We'll have to wait and see, but one thing's for sure: our channel is always producing exciting content.
**Behind the Scenes**
As we wrap up this midweek update, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for joining us. Our next video will be a Peddlers' ride featuring some fantastic Porsches, so make sure to tune in tomorrow evening.
