    Episode 4 puts the spotlight on Mark Webber — Aussie Grit himself — as we (imperfectly but enthusiastically) explain Formula One, the chess match at 200 mph, and how a 6'1" plumber’s apprentice became a nine-time F1 race winner who nearly grabbed a world title. Along the way, we unpack Red Bull drama, and hit Big Dogs of the Week with Olympic figure skating history and an all-time SkiMo qualifying moment.
