089 - Possibly Punting - with Mark Schofield

Holy cannolis that are full of stromboli! We got another outright rockstar of a guest on this week's episode of The Midfield Podcast! We bring in our old friend Mark Schofield. Feels kinda weird typing that, "old-friend", but in a way it feels so, sooo riiight. And true! He's a phenomenal sports writer for the NFL and F1 as well as being the Midfield's 1st guest! We love him, you love him, let's get into it. 1:55 - We three dreamers recap the Super Bowl picks we made the last time we talked with Mark before the season started. We must also get a quick bite into Mark's article on the FIA rule-change, that we've been discussing on and off the pod for about a week and a half now. You can find links to Mark and all of his great works below! 16:25 - Lewis in Ruby! We talk Ferrari, and what Lewis could contribute on and off the track, and then are immediately sidetracked into Williams, the NFL, and F1 teams punting? It's really hard to come up with good segmenting for the episode description when Mark comes to town, but that's what we live for. We get Mark's insider knowledge on Laura Mueller working with Ocon at Williams. We're Haas boys, so fingers crossed and elbows out. 30:17 - After dipping our toes in some Aston Martin waters we catch up on Mark's hot television appearances and personal highlights from the 2024 season. Will we spy our guy on Drive to Survive next season? Does he have plans to be as fantasmal next season? Can we get these answers before getting massively sidetracked? Who cares? Mark's got some great stories to share and we're all ears. We try to reign it back in with a few more Midfield type discussions, but unfortunately we have to let Mark go. "If you love something..." Luckily for us we know he'll back sometime soon with even more fun stories and facts for us to dissect. If you want more of Mark Schofield be sure to check out his links below!
