[01:50.280 -> 01:51.520] stories from the last couple of years,
[01:51.520 -> 01:53.120] maybe some personal anecdotes

[02:03.880 -> 02:08.240] random fandom drop because well. we're, we're biased.
[02:08.380 -> 02:11.400] So we've, we've been forced to go out and be nice to other teams or at
[02:11.400 -> 02:12.920] least give them honest feedback.
[02:13.140 -> 02:16.800] So we're going to do that today, but, uh, yeah, anything, anything, any other
[02:16.800 -> 02:18.840] housekeeping for anybody new here?
[02:21.000 -> 02:22.280] Uh, nothing that's in it.
[02:22.600 -> 02:26.760] I'll tell you what, if anyone's new here, and if anyone's
[02:26.760 -> 02:32.960] returning you'll be pleased to hear that the air horn button has been removed.
[02:32.960 -> 02:37.920] I saw so many comments on Twitter, they're like, there's no way you're using that air
[02:37.920 -> 02:40.600] horn, that is terrible, remove it please.
[02:40.600 -> 02:47.040] I may have been a little bit sick and hung over from dodgy corner shop meatballs
[02:47.040 -> 02:51.840] that I purchased last week. But we're all good. We're back to normal.
[02:53.520 -> 02:57.920] Okay, but the air horn's gone. Do we have something else?
[02:59.280 -> 03:00.560] Yeah, but it's a surprise.
[03:01.120 -> 03:05.100] Okay, so I guess when you know, you know, and if you see it in the comments, leave a comment on YouTube when you found it just so everybody else can find Okay. So I guess, I guess when you know, you know, and if, and if you, if you see it
[03:05.100 -> 03:07.920] in the comments, leave a comment on YouTube when you found it, just so
[03:07.920 -> 03:08.820] everybody else can find it.
[03:08.820 -> 03:11.160] So, uh, why don't we get into the news?
[03:11.320 -> 03:12.300] Why don't we get into the news?
[03:12.300 -> 03:17.020] What's the first on our news formula one news agenda?
[03:17.200 -> 03:17.700] Well,
[03:19.700 -> 03:26.880] mid begins with the letter M what else begins with the letter M McLaren yes
[03:26.880 -> 03:35.480] it's the McLaren musical chairs and oh fuck me and yeah so worst start to the
[03:35.480 -> 03:40.700] season since 2017 what a pointless bottom of the table at the moment two
[03:40.700 -> 03:48.720] races in it's not looking good now it's it, it's, it's, I, you know, I had, I did a little segment thinking
[03:48.720 -> 03:51.960] people like predicting you're in that video as well, and it's coming out,
[03:51.960 -> 03:54.200] I think later this week, but it's like predicting who's going to be the best
[03:54.240 -> 03:57.200] team, the worst team and the most team with the most DNFs.
[03:57.760 -> 04:01.000] Um, one of our friends had a lot of hope that McLaren would be back.
[04:01.000 -> 04:02.840] And I was like, there's no way they can get worse.
[04:03.560 -> 04:04.440] But they did.
[04:06.200 -> 04:08.400] Well, they did significantly.
[04:08.500 -> 04:13.560] And, uh, post Jeddah, um, which did you see the video where the front wing end
[04:13.560 -> 04:15.920] plate comes off pastries car at the start?
[04:16.800 -> 04:24.040] And it's over the top of everyone else's car and then just hit Lando's.
[04:25.280 -> 04:25.720] That's cod timing, cod timing, bro. That just sums up their season at the moment. goes over the top of everyone else's car and then just hit Lando's. Right.
[04:26.800 -> 04:26.920] That's cod timing.
[04:27.880 -> 04:27.960] Cod timing, bro.
[04:29.800 -> 04:29.840] That just sums up their season at the moment.
[04:30.680 -> 04:32.640] How unlucky.
[04:33.680 -> 04:33.800] Ericsson hit us bro.
[04:34.360 -> 04:34.440] Yeah.
[04:42.920 -> 04:44.960] But post Jeddah, they have decided to part ways with technical director James Key as part of a review.
[04:44.720 -> 04:46.000] decided to part ways with technical director James Key as part of a review.
[04:53.200 -> 05:02.000] Now we sort of know James Key to a degree because he was the Toro Rosso technical director for what 2012? Yeah 2012 until 2018 yeah. So he's kind of been a bit of the Red Bull family.
[05:02.160 -> 05:02.200] Kind of in a bit of the Red Bull family.
[05:04.840 -> 05:06.440] Um, but yeah, no, he's gone. And by the sounds of it, it, uh,
[05:07.280 -> 05:11.680] it sounds like he got the, the old, what are you, I guess not a guillotine.
[05:11.680 -> 05:12.440] That'd be Renault.
[05:12.520 -> 05:12.760] Yeah.
[05:12.760 -> 05:14.400] He got the, uh, the old, uh,
[05:15.080 -> 05:16.520] the sponsorship deals to go away.
[05:16.520 -> 05:17.880] That's probably more McLaren, isn't it?
[05:18.480 -> 05:18.800] Yeah.
[05:18.880 -> 05:21.080] Zach Brown signed a sponsor for him to go away.
[05:21.640 -> 05:23.920] Well, I don't, I think I need to go back and get another job at
[05:23.920 -> 05:25.200] McClaren and do a couple of
[05:25.200 -> 05:28.080] years, get locked in and they're like, you know what, this guy's actually really bad
[05:28.080 -> 05:34.080] and then just get paid an absolute sack of cash to get disappeared.
[05:34.080 -> 05:40.120] But James Key's been, it's an interesting story because I joined for Cindy just as James
[05:40.120 -> 05:41.120] Key had left.
[05:41.120 -> 05:48.680] I think James Key basically was at the Jordan outfit, which was eventually Midland Spiker for Cyndia, blah, blah, blah. But he joined Midland as technical director
[05:48.680 -> 05:54.640] and he was one of the youngest TDs at 33, which is far younger than I am right now.
[05:54.640 -> 06:06.600] Um, 2010 Sauer technical director, uh, 2012 Toroso and then 2018 until 2023 McLaren. So don't know what he's up to.
[06:06.920 -> 06:11.680] Wish him all the best, but, uh, hopefully whatever happens, I hope
[06:11.680 -> 06:16.060] McLaren can, uh, make some inroads in finding performance because whatever
[06:16.060 -> 06:19.440] they're doing right now is not been particularly effective.
[06:20.340 -> 06:20.640] Yeah.
[06:20.680 -> 06:31.360] My biggest achievement at 33 was probably, um, shit housing housing on Twitter to be honest. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's I think it 33 was five years ago
[06:31.360 -> 06:38.320] I just downgraded my career from trackside performance engineer to simulator performance engineer because I just was sick of traveling all the time
[06:38.840 -> 06:42.040] Like would you like to take a pay cut? Like yeah, whatever just get away from the racetrack
[06:42.960 -> 06:47.280] Only in a cupboard in a dark corner of the Milton Keynes factory.
[06:47.280 -> 06:48.280] Yeah, exactly.
[06:48.280 -> 06:49.480] Listening to the simulator running.
[06:49.480 -> 06:52.120] This sounds like just like R2D2 on crack.
[06:52.120 -> 06:57.840] Yeah, the occasional rumble of motors and things like that.
[06:57.840 -> 06:58.840] Yeah, exactly.
[06:58.840 -> 07:02.800] Yeah, but, um, yeah.
[07:02.800 -> 07:10.200] So what's up with the Claire now? So this is their worst start to a formal one campaign and since 2017.
[07:10.200 -> 07:11.080] So what are they doing?
[07:12.040 -> 07:16.680] Well, they're, they're doing the, uh, Michael Massey FIA scenario of deciding
[07:16.680 -> 07:20.920] that the, instead of having one person take all the responsibilities, and now
[07:20.920 -> 07:26.260] we're going to split it up into a technical committee. Nice little buzzword for you there.
[07:26.480 -> 07:28.780] Um, to replace the role of technical director.
[07:29.540 -> 07:32.340] Is this the, is this the meme where you just have Spider-Man pointing at
[07:32.340 -> 07:34.780] Spider-Man and then the team's still crap?
[07:35.840 -> 07:36.780] Yeah, I think so.
[07:36.780 -> 07:37.280] Pretty much.
[07:37.280 -> 07:37.780] Yeah.
[07:37.780 -> 07:38.280] Okay.
[07:38.340 -> 07:38.840] Sounds good.
[07:39.800 -> 07:42.560] And there's another familiar name in here as well to us.
[07:42.660 -> 07:47.320] Um, and I always fucking mess up saying his name, uh, Peter
[07:47.320 -> 07:49.440] Padromo, how'd you say?
[07:49.440 -> 07:49.960] I'm like,
[07:50.360 -> 07:50.840] but drama,
[07:51.040 -> 07:52.120] drama, whatever.
[07:52.240 -> 07:52.480] Yeah.
[07:53.040 -> 07:55.720] Um, he was previously of Red Bull.
[07:56.080 -> 07:56.840] Um,
[07:58.080 -> 07:58.680] he's called
[08:00.320 -> 08:01.360] prod broad.
[08:01.800 -> 08:02.120] There you go.
[08:02.560 -> 08:02.960] For sure.
[08:02.960 -> 08:06.320] Cause everybody else, everybody else fumbles over it like you and I just did.
[08:06.320 -> 08:07.320] Yeah, exactly.
[08:07.320 -> 08:11.720] Fucking, I make no apologies for my poor pronunciations of everything.
[08:11.720 -> 08:14.480] So yeah, big up Peter Prod.
[08:14.480 -> 08:17.440] Previous Red Bull fame.
[08:17.440 -> 08:21.600] He's moving into the Technical Director of Aerodynamics role, so that'll be leading the
[08:21.600 -> 08:25.080] entire aero function.
[08:27.880 -> 08:33.460] We get David Sanchez, come on down. He's joining in the January, 2024, cause he's on gardening leave from Ferrari.
[08:33.460 -> 08:35.440] So he spent the last 10 years at Ferrari.
[08:35.840 -> 08:36.480] He'll be joining.
[08:36.480 -> 08:38.900] He's going to have some really nice olive trees or something, isn't it?
[08:38.900 -> 08:40.880] Then he's got to leave Italy and come over here.
[08:40.880 -> 08:41.380] Yeah.
[08:41.440 -> 08:44.360] Year of gardening leave in Italy in Maranello.
[08:44.600 -> 08:45.000] Yes, please.
[08:45.000 -> 08:46.000] I'll take that.
[08:46.000 -> 08:47.000] You know what?
[08:47.000 -> 08:51.040] You know what might happen if we do end up having to drive over to Maranello to drop
[08:51.040 -> 08:52.040] that letter off.
[08:52.040 -> 08:53.040] I think I might just stay for a bit.
[08:53.040 -> 08:56.040] Honestly, maybe we could give David a lift back.
[08:56.040 -> 08:57.040] Yeah, sure.
[08:57.040 -> 09:00.040] Just get his belongings in the back of a Panda.
[09:00.040 -> 09:05.720] See if James May wants to meet for a nice bolognese and a coffee. Yeah.
[09:05.720 -> 09:06.960] Ah, beautiful.
[09:06.960 -> 09:13.320] I think we've got, this is the unexpected journey.
[09:13.320 -> 09:14.320] The Hobbit.
[09:14.320 -> 09:19.600] I'm still on Hobbit kick, I'm sorry.
[09:19.600 -> 09:23.680] Yeah, sorry, we mentioned David, but we didn't actually say what he's doing.
[09:23.680 -> 09:28.280] He's joining in January 2024 as the Technical Director of Car Concept and Performance.
[09:28.280 -> 09:35.160] So instead of making things look pretty, his job is to make things go fast.
[09:35.160 -> 09:41.400] Neil Haldi, he's already at McLaren, but he's getting promoted to become the Technical Director
[09:41.400 -> 09:43.660] of Engineering and Design.
[09:43.660 -> 09:47.380] So he's the one that gives them all the nuts and bolts to make it go fast.
[09:49.160 -> 09:55.400] Um, but as wonderful as this is, it's not the first time
[09:55.400 -> 09:56.440] they've gone down this route.
[09:58.160 -> 10:01.320] When do you think the last time McLaren had a major reshuffle like this?
[10:03.660 -> 10:06.000] I want to feel like it was just pre-covid.
[10:06.000 -> 10:08.000] It was in 2018.
[10:08.000 -> 10:11.000] So what are we, 5 years and they're already
[10:11.000 -> 10:13.000] shuffling everyone around again.
[10:13.000 -> 10:16.000] It's not looking good, bruv.
[10:16.000 -> 10:19.000] Yeah, but I guess I've heard a lot of different
[10:19.000 -> 10:22.000] takes on this because people like, you know,
[10:22.000 -> 10:24.000] Zach needs to change, blah blah blah, but like,
[10:24.000 -> 10:25.040] I don't
[10:25.040 -> 10:30.920] know. Is it Zach or is it something else? Is it? I really, I really can't tell you because
[10:30.920 -> 10:35.400] I don't know, but it's, it's an interesting thing. But the company, from what I can tell,
[10:35.400 -> 10:41.640] looks like it's in a better spot, the Formula One team at least. But from a technical and
[10:41.640 -> 10:48.720] performance point of view, it's kind of been from nowhere to nowhere, with varying degrees of
[10:48.720 -> 10:50.160] nowhereness.
[10:50.160 -> 10:53.760] Zach gets a lot of stick, but I actually
[10:53.760 -> 10:56.160] kind of respect him and rate him because
[10:56.160 -> 11:00.160] having a team as arse as McLaren at the moment
[11:00.160 -> 11:04.160] they are literally tripping over new sponsors getting signed.
[11:04.160 -> 11:09.200] Like, Zach is like the perfect used car salesman.
[11:09.200 -> 11:12.200] You know what I mean?
[11:12.200 -> 11:17.080] Yeah, and he managed to stop Piastri from going to Alpine, who are going to absolutely
[11:17.080 -> 11:18.600] decimate them this season.
[11:18.600 -> 11:22.440] He's like, no, brother, you want to come here and drive for me.
[11:22.440 -> 11:25.160] And meanwhile, the car is in a, yeah.
[11:25.640 -> 11:28.600] And this sucks because I know we know what it's like to work at a team.
[11:28.600 -> 11:29.380] That's doing well.
[11:29.380 -> 11:31.380] It looked like what it's like to be doing a team is doing bad.
[11:31.380 -> 11:32.680] So don't get this twisted.
[11:33.000 -> 11:35.140] This is, there's no, I don't take any pleasure in this.
[11:35.140 -> 11:38.560] There's I'll tell you if I take pleasure in anything horrible, I'll, I'll let you
[11:38.560 -> 11:42.080] know, but right now, no, my husband and three kids, I don't take pleasure in
[11:42.080 -> 11:42.880] anything anymore.
[11:44.520 -> 11:47.960] I think the last time I felt happiness was in 1996 or something.
[11:47.960 -> 11:48.380] I don't know.
[11:49.000 -> 11:51.380] Or was it, what was it?
[11:51.720 -> 11:54.520] Oh, it's probably narcotics related.
[11:55.320 -> 11:55.640] Yeah.
[11:56.080 -> 11:56.400] Okay.
[11:56.440 -> 11:57.960] That's all it, that's all it works for me now.
[11:58.480 -> 12:01.720] Or, or the land party playing counter-strike or something.
[12:01.800 -> 12:02.120] Oh yeah.
[12:02.120 -> 12:03.480] Pre-counter-strike.
[12:03.480 -> 12:03.640] Yeah.
[12:04.440 -> 12:05.880] Anyway, you got the counter-strike or something. Oh yeah. That's pretty counter-strike. Yeah. Anyway, you got the counter-strike crew.
[12:07.500 -> 12:07.860] So.
[12:08.800 -> 12:09.180] Yeah.
[12:09.600 -> 12:13.300] Hopefully McLaren can turn it around, but it's just like, it's one of those things.
[12:13.300 -> 12:16.660] Like, and it's so a formula one is so unpredictable because we're looking at
[12:17.020 -> 12:19.780] last, like imagine rewind to the end of last year's like, right.
[12:19.780 -> 12:23.040] There's no way Ferrari have reliability issues this year.
[12:23.040 -> 12:23.880] They're going to figure that out.
[12:23.900 -> 12:26.640] Cause that's plagued them all season. You know, they've got Fred coming in, they're going
[12:26.640 -> 12:31.100] to sort it out. Did they? Well, no, they've gone through their allocation of electronics
[12:31.100 -> 12:35.880] components and whatever else already in its race two. They're just going to take a penalty
[12:35.880 -> 12:38.640] whack and then just keep fitting new stuff as they go because it doesn't really hurt
[12:38.640 -> 12:39.640] that much.
[12:39.640 -> 12:44.880] Yeah, but that's an incredibly big brain move from Ferrari to go through your entire allocation
[12:44.880 -> 12:46.080] within the first two races.
[12:46.080 -> 12:49.240] Think of all the sea freight shipping costs they're going to save now knowing
[12:49.240 -> 12:50.800] they can only cart one set around.
[12:52.560 -> 12:54.960] That is, Fred, bravo.
[12:55.160 -> 12:56.000] At least in my own.
[12:56.480 -> 12:56.720] Yeah.
[12:57.200 -> 13:00.680] Everybody thought, everybody thought Haas was on the five head game plays by
[13:00.680 -> 13:01.720] going to the small pit wall.
[13:01.720 -> 13:02.800] Ferrari's like, you know what?
[13:03.280 -> 13:06.260] We're going to burn all our ESs and CUs early in the season.
[13:06.260 -> 13:08.360] So we don't have to fly them around anymore.
[13:08.720 -> 13:11.520] Boom, Fred, love your work, brother.
[13:11.760 -> 13:12.600] Love your work, Fred.
[13:12.880 -> 13:20.820] But anyway, speaking of technical things, let's, uh, this TD 039 or
[13:20.820 -> 13:22.880] technical directive 39, Rooney Bells.
[13:24.220 -> 13:24.920] Yes.
[13:25.200 -> 13:27.920] And this is the part where we put everyone to sleep now because we actually
[13:27.920 -> 13:29.680] have to talk about technical things.
[13:30.160 -> 13:31.880] No, this is, this is not going to be technical.
[13:31.880 -> 13:36.320] If you're, if you're wondering what TD39 was, it was the regulation that said you
[13:36.320 -> 13:40.480] cannot break George and Louis's backs in the race car, we're going to have to
[13:40.480 -> 13:41.680] prevent you from doing that.
[13:41.680 -> 13:45.560] And we're going to have to put in some regulations to stop you from doing it.
[13:46.680 -> 13:47.000] Yeah.
[13:47.080 -> 13:47.640] The porpoise.
[13:48.800 -> 13:49.400] Oh yes.
[13:49.440 -> 13:52.320] I see a lot of porpoising emotes in the live stream channels.
[13:53.600 -> 13:54.240] So what was it?
[13:54.600 -> 13:58.800] Basically it was directive to stipulate the mounting method of the underfloor
[13:58.800 -> 14:02.800] plank and the skid plates and defining the maximum flexibility of the plank.
[14:03.840 -> 14:05.760] And also the measuring and
[14:05.760 -> 14:26.400] monitoring of the vertical forces acting on the cars. Basically that bits pop. Purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr purr heavy vertical oscillations and loads, which can impact their spine and neck and everything else. And it's uncomfortable and they can't see,
[14:26.400 -> 14:27.780] and it's not great.
[14:27.780 -> 14:29.900] This was as a result of the ground effect
[14:29.900 -> 14:31.200] floor and car stalling.
[14:31.200 -> 14:33.200] The second part of it was,
[14:33.200 -> 14:36.860] since we went from 2000 and 21,
[14:36.860 -> 14:39.760] where the cars typically ran quite high rake
[14:39.760 -> 14:41.760] or nose low to the ground,
[14:41.760 -> 14:43.600] tail of the car high to the ground,
[14:43.600 -> 14:45.920] the ground effect cars in 2022, you started running them a lot flatter to the ground, tail of the car high to the ground. The ground effect cars in 2022,
[14:45.920 -> 14:48.040] you started running them a lot flatter to the ground
[14:48.040 -> 14:49.160] at the end of straight.
[14:49.160 -> 14:51.340] And the FAA got wise to the fact,
[14:52.320 -> 14:57.320] they were like, why on earth are these people
[14:58.360 -> 15:00.560] grounding the plank so far back?
[15:00.560 -> 15:02.760] And they're like, oh, we didn't even make any regulations
[15:02.760 -> 15:04.280] that stipulated you couldn't ground that much.
[15:04.280 -> 15:08.840] So they started monitoring that more closely. But, um, it looks like
[15:08.840 -> 15:13.320] this has been done away with. So we've had a technical change to the rules, which the
[15:13.320 -> 15:17.200] height of the floor edges have been brought up, which and something with the throat of
[15:17.200 -> 15:23.080] the diffuser and that was supposed to make a porpoising less severe. But it looks like
[15:23.080 -> 15:25.640] correct. Was it motorsport Italy said?
[15:26.960 -> 15:27.280] Yes.
[15:27.280 -> 15:30.120] The world's most reliable source of all things.
[15:31.080 -> 15:32.080] F1, right?
[15:32.080 -> 15:33.840] So do that information.
[15:33.840 -> 15:34.400] What you will.
[15:35.040 -> 15:35.800] It is what it is.
[15:35.800 -> 15:38.480] And it ain't when it ain't, you know, only is gone.
[15:39.360 -> 15:46.440] Um, so other people are out there telling us or the internet that it's not gone.
[15:46.720 -> 15:53.980] They've just removed the, uh, bouncing corpus in metric, which would make sense.
[15:53.980 -> 15:59.040] I don't know if it was part of this, like we said, it's, um, the mounting of the
[15:59.040 -> 16:02.260] plank and the skid plates and the whole bendy floors thing was a part of this.
[16:02.260 -> 16:06.400] I don't think they would just chuck that out all of a sudden.
[16:06.400 -> 16:07.400] Now that makes sense.
[16:07.400 -> 16:08.400] And that's still relevant.
[16:08.400 -> 16:13.760] You know, like grounding the car quite far back from the leading edge of the plank is
[16:13.760 -> 16:14.760] still a mode.
[16:14.760 -> 16:15.760] That's, that's a thing.
[16:15.760 -> 16:16.760] And I don't want to exploit that.
[16:16.760 -> 16:17.920] And I think they were just like, you know what?
[16:17.920 -> 16:26.720] That metric idea was kind of a sticky plaster to deal with what happened in Baku. And it took them a couple races to
[16:26.720 -> 16:31.120] execute it. And then throughout the season, from that article, it sounds like they even
[16:31.120 -> 16:36.800] relaxed the metric at some circuits, like street circuits, like Singapore. So.
[16:36.800 -> 16:41.200] Matt Giles Yeah, it seems to be like
[16:43.440 -> 16:45.600] track dependent, didn't it really?
[16:45.600 -> 16:50.800] Depending on the surface of the track, which is something that we theorized.
[16:50.800 -> 16:56.800] So yeah, who fucking knows what's going on basically is what I'm trying to tell you listeners.
[16:56.800 -> 17:01.800] The thing about technical directives is we don't like, the only time you see a technical directive,
[17:01.800 -> 17:08.400] it's when a journalist or the FIA publish it, but like, they could be there and we don't know about some of them either.
[17:08.400 -> 17:13.560] It's just if people hear about them or talk about them, I don't know where to find technical
[17:13.560 -> 17:14.560] directives.
[17:14.560 -> 17:16.520] They usually just get kind of stuffed in.
[17:16.520 -> 17:18.400] But yeah, so TD39.
[17:18.400 -> 17:20.800] Even when I was, I don't know, it's probably the same for you.
[17:20.800 -> 17:24.360] Even when I was working for a team, I fucking half the time I never saw them anyway, even
[17:24.360 -> 17:25.360] being within a team.
[17:25.360 -> 17:29.560] So if, yeah, they kind of came to like one person and that person, if they
[17:29.720 -> 17:34.780] filtered them down, fine, if not, not, but, uh, so that's, that's partly gone.
[17:34.800 -> 17:36.240] And maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
[17:36.240 -> 17:36.700] We'll see.
[17:36.720 -> 17:39.600] I'm sure they might talk about it because people are beginning to
[17:39.600 -> 17:40.760] ask a lot of questions about.
[17:41.200 -> 17:44.840] And, uh, I think that's, that's completely plausible that they would
[17:44.840 -> 17:47.280] have done away with that one, but let's say
[17:47.280 -> 17:50.160] Twitter got their teeth into it, ran wild with it.
[17:52.600 -> 17:55.880] It was probably one of those super, super awesome copy pasta accounts where
[17:55.880 -> 18:00.480] you have to look like seven reply tweets down until they finally cite the article.
[18:01.200 -> 18:04.960] And they've just copy pasted half the article anyway, which is yeah.
[18:05.060 -> 18:05.300] Yeah. Don't do is. Yeah. Yeah.
[18:05.380 -> 18:05.900] Don't do that.
[18:06.660 -> 18:06.980] Yeah.
[18:07.540 -> 18:07.920] There you go.
[18:09.560 -> 18:11.660] Speaking of Twitter, getting your teeth into it.
[18:11.700 -> 18:14.100] I, I stirred the pot this morning.
[18:15.340 -> 18:18.220] He who stirs the pot should lick the shitty spoon.
[18:19.340 -> 18:21.260] Now this is yeah.
[18:21.260 -> 18:24.340] Maybe what kind of, like I I'm, what are you cooking, man?
[18:24.380 -> 18:25.360] I don't cook shit.
[18:25.360 -> 18:26.360] You just have meatballs.
[18:26.360 -> 18:27.360] You can't be asked to cook.
[18:27.360 -> 18:28.360] I was cooking the books, Red Bull Catering.
[18:28.360 -> 18:29.360] Bro, wow.
[18:29.360 -> 18:30.360] You got out of there just in time.
[18:30.360 -> 18:31.360] So, there was a Dominican colleague.
[18:31.360 -> 18:32.360] That's why I have to buy cheap meatballs now.
[18:32.360 -> 18:33.360] So, there was a quote from the FAA, he's not the president, what is Dominican colleague?
[18:33.360 -> 18:34.360] He's the president of the FAA.
[18:34.360 -> 18:35.360] He's the president of the FAA.
[18:35.360 -> 18:36.360] He's the president of the FAA.
[18:36.360 -> 18:37.360] He's the president of the FAA.
[18:37.360 -> 18:38.360] He's the president of the FAA.
[18:38.360 -> 18:39.360] He's the president of the FAA.
[18:39.360 -> 18:40.360] He's the president of the FAA.
[18:40.360 -> 18:41.360] He's the president of the FAA.
[18:41.360 -> 18:42.360] He's the president of the FAA.
[18:42.360 -> 18:43.360] He's the president of the FAA.
[18:43.360 -> 18:44.360] He's the president of the FAA.
[18:44.360 -> 18:50.600] He's the president of the FAA. He's the president of the FAA. He's the president of the FAA. He's the quote from the FIA, he's not the president, what is Domenic Colli?
[18:50.600 -> 18:54.120] Isn't he like the president of FIA?
[18:54.120 -> 18:57.760] He's not FIA, he's FOM, isn't he?
[18:57.760 -> 19:00.440] Fine, okay, that's, I'm like, I'm like, I'm listening.
[19:00.440 -> 19:02.040] What the fuck is your job?
[19:02.040 -> 19:08.600] Anyway, ex-Ferrari man, now big boss man, he was at a MotoGP event and he was quoted as saying, I'm a
[19:08.600 -> 19:12.120] supporter of the cancellation of free practice sessions, which are of great use
[19:12.120 -> 19:14.200] to the engineers, but the public doesn't like it.
[19:14.560 -> 19:18.360] Um, and I've got, I've got some thoughts on that.
[19:18.680 -> 19:25.520] Some of them people weren't too happy to hear, and some of them were not too sure.
[19:25.520 -> 19:27.200] What do you, where's your head at with this?
[19:27.520 -> 19:29.560] Uh, what are you straight into fraud?
[19:29.560 -> 19:30.120] Watch jail.
[19:30.120 -> 19:31.080] He's not on promotion.
[19:31.100 -> 19:32.160] He's not on probation.
[19:32.200 -> 19:32.500] Bang.
[19:32.500 -> 19:33.240] He's straight in.
[19:34.040 -> 19:34.400] Liar.
[19:35.060 -> 19:36.960] Stefano fuck off.
[19:37.700 -> 19:38.760] Yeah, man.
[19:39.240 -> 19:41.120] He is the CEO of F one.
[19:41.120 -> 19:43.520] Of course I knew that, but it's been a couple of days and I
[19:43.520 -> 19:44.960] haven't had coffee this today.
[19:44.960 -> 19:52.480] So, um, that's Stefano. So here's my thing. And don't get me wrong. Don't get me
[19:52.480 -> 19:57.240] wrong. I think free practice is important for people to A, see what's going on. More
[19:57.240 -> 20:01.840] importantly, it's important for the sponsors and everybody else. It's literally how much
[20:01.840 -> 20:05.560] money and how much value the television brings teams just for having logos
[20:05.560 -> 20:08.100] on their car showing up on the cars in practice.
[20:08.100 -> 20:11.740] But free practice sessions bore me to death.
[20:11.740 -> 20:13.520] And I hate to say it, and I know everybody's like,
[20:13.520 -> 20:14.360] but I wanna watch the race cars.
[20:14.360 -> 20:15.740] It's like, well, you can watch the race cars,
[20:15.740 -> 20:18.520] but here's the reality of free practice sessions.
[20:18.520 -> 20:21.400] Most people just watch the cars going around.
[20:21.400 -> 20:23.180] They hear the commentators saying the same stuff
[20:23.180 -> 20:27.200] they do every weekend, and they sit there for for an hour not knowing what's going on.
[20:27.200 -> 20:30.120] They just look at the column on the left and see what the lap times are.
[20:30.120 -> 20:35.760] That's because all the commentators are shit and what they should do is get us to do it.
[20:35.760 -> 20:39.680] Well they did have Bernie Collins last week which was awesome, which was really awesome.
[20:39.680 -> 20:41.960] True, yeah, big up Bernie.
[20:41.960 -> 20:48.080] So here's my thought. Here's my thought of that because there's no definitive
[20:48.080 -> 20:52.480] things happening during practice and that's one of the things I like about the sprint weekend format
[20:52.480 -> 20:56.960] right. I think the sprint weekend format is not perfect, it's not great, but I do like it. You
[20:56.960 -> 21:01.840] have qualifying Friday, you've got a sprint race on Saturday, and you've got a race on Sunday.
[21:01.840 -> 21:09.560] Something happens every single day and I like it. They still have free practice three, which sprint weekend or not sprint weekend
[21:09.560 -> 21:13.880] at free practice. Three is a throwaway session. It's it's a shit fine. Like I get that it's
[21:13.880 -> 21:17.720] important to make sure the car is set up is okay. But people were coming at me like, oh,
[21:17.720 -> 21:22.760] it's a safety thing. I'm like, please, please tell me how it's unsafe for people that have
[21:22.760 -> 21:27.000] never driven tracks before in sprint race weekends to show up,
[21:27.000 -> 21:29.520] do one practice session and go straight into qualifying.
[21:29.520 -> 21:30.920] That's not unsafe.
[21:30.920 -> 21:33.480] These guys are good.
[21:33.480 -> 21:36.020] The simulators are not perfect, but they're good enough.
[21:36.020 -> 21:37.400] And it's a skill gap.
[21:37.400 -> 21:39.000] You know, if you give everybody enough time
[21:39.000 -> 21:41.240] to do laps and laps and laps and laps,
[21:41.240 -> 21:42.600] they're gonna get to a certain point.
[21:42.600 -> 21:44.520] Why do you need to be 100% optimum?
[21:44.520 -> 21:50.480] You could be 98% optimum after an hour practice session or an hour and a half practice session. But
[21:51.760 -> 22:00.480] I don't know. Do you, do we need less free practice? I'm, I'm like, uh, your Brexit voting
[22:00.480 -> 22:05.320] granddad or uncle that you hate sitting next to at Christmas dinner. I don't like change. Right.
[22:05.740 -> 22:07.960] I don't like, I don't like spring weekends.
[22:08.520 -> 22:09.640] Nobody likes change.
[22:10.000 -> 22:11.260] I don't like sprint weekends.
[22:11.260 -> 22:12.760] I don't like sprint races.
[22:12.800 -> 22:14.040] I think they're ass.
[22:14.240 -> 22:17.760] Um, I'm I like my free practice one and two.
[22:18.780 -> 22:19.300] Free.
[22:19.300 -> 22:20.200] I don't mind.
[22:20.240 -> 22:21.040] I see.
[22:21.040 -> 22:22.520] I can understand your point on it.
[22:22.520 -> 22:23.280] Free practice three.
[22:23.280 -> 22:23.640] Get them.
[22:24.960 -> 22:26.720] But like here's here's here's
[22:26.720 -> 22:29.360] how the sprint weekend would be great.
[22:29.360 -> 22:33.160] Practice qualifying sprint race.
[22:33.160 -> 22:34.880] Or practice qualify for the sprint race,
[22:34.880 -> 22:36.280] then qualify for the main event
[22:36.280 -> 22:37.320] and then do the sprint
[22:37.320 -> 22:38.800] and then do the race on Sunday.
[22:38.800 -> 22:39.520] You've got something
[22:39.520 -> 22:40.520] happening every session.
[22:40.520 -> 22:42.680] You have a free practice session
[22:42.680 -> 22:44.400] and maybe you can change the car
[22:44.400 -> 22:45.840] for your second qualifying session.
[22:45.840 -> 22:46.840] Who knows?
[22:46.840 -> 22:47.840] Who knows?
[22:47.840 -> 22:52.200] Maybe even throw in some gimmicks, reverse grid, the sprint, the reverse grid is the
[22:52.200 -> 22:57.000] biggest heap of crap anyway, but I don't give a, I don't really care.
[22:57.000 -> 22:58.000] But back to the point though.
[22:58.000 -> 23:05.720] The mask has slipped, he doesn't care. He's out here. Causing trouble,
[23:07.440 -> 23:08.160] but like, but like seriously, like.
[23:10.080 -> 23:10.760] Yeah, free practice sessions are great.
[23:12.680 -> 23:13.880] But literally the second half of free practice to after
[23:13.880 -> 23:15.280] everybody does their their qualifier,
[23:15.280 -> 23:16.440] their qualifying runs.
[23:16.760 -> 23:17.840] It's literally cars
[23:17.840 -> 23:19.480] pounding around lap after lap,
[23:19.520 -> 23:21.880] and then nobody really has the timing data.
[23:21.920 -> 23:23.760] Unless unless Uncle Steve is sitting
[23:23.760 -> 23:25.500] there watching every lap of a single car,
[23:25.500 -> 23:27.700] riding it down to be like, oh, their pace and deg is really good.
[23:27.700 -> 23:28.600] This is really interesting.
[23:28.600 -> 23:31.240] It's like cars go zoom, cars go in circle.
[23:31.240 -> 23:32.600] I happy watch TV.
[23:32.600 -> 23:33.560] And that's me.
[23:33.560 -> 23:35.000] That's me when I watch free practice too.
[23:35.000 -> 23:38.640] But it's, it's like, what if we got rid of at least free practice three and
[23:38.640 -> 23:42.160] added something else, maybe where you put like gates on the track,
[23:42.160 -> 23:45.880] you have to drive through them like F1 2022 to upgrade your car. Oh, okay
[23:45.880 -> 23:49.640] Yeah, yeah, no, I'm just kidding. Don't do that. Please don't do that. What's the
[23:50.240 -> 23:55.320] Gotta be something do the Red Bull air race where you put inflatable gates up and they are easy
[23:55.400 -> 23:59.840] Yeah, I have a solution the fixing sprint races. Okay, Ron
[24:00.440 -> 24:03.760] Print races are pretty dull right for one very good reason
[24:03.880 -> 24:09.200] That's because the components they have to use in sprint races also have to be used for the race.
[24:09.200 -> 24:15.600] All sprint races, you want to stick a new engine in for every single sprint race, fucking do it.
[24:15.600 -> 24:19.680] Right? You want to stick a new gearbox in just for that sprint race, you can do it.
[24:19.680 -> 24:22.480] And then at the end, you can swap it to your race set, I don't care.
[24:22.480 -> 24:25.680] If you're going to sprint, you're going to sprint.
[24:25.720 -> 24:27.560] Don't fucking nurse it around.
[24:27.900 -> 24:29.720] Uh, what third of a race?
[24:29.720 -> 24:32.720] I got to watch out for my gearbox or my turbo.
[24:33.260 -> 24:35.740] I want to put any unnecessary wear on it.
[24:38.780 -> 24:40.680] I don't know why there's so much echo on that bad boy.
[24:41.460 -> 24:43.120] George was going through a tunnel on that one.
[24:49.920 -> 24:51.520] Yeah. Give me my 1200 brake horsepower quality setups only for the sprint.
[24:55.040 -> 24:59.040] But I think right now with like, okay, that would be awesome. But I think right now the Formula One engines, they can basically do that amount all the time, which is how they've been
[24:59.040 -> 25:02.640] set to do. But yeah, there's, there's gotta be something else. And I'm not saying get rid of
[25:02.640 -> 25:05.360] all the free practice sessions. I disagree. I don't think that's what he meant.
[25:05.360 -> 25:09.920] And if he meant that, he probably wasn't checking the sums to say,
[25:09.920 -> 25:14.480] we're gonna lose a lot of money from ticket sales, from advertising, from this and that and those.
[25:14.480 -> 25:17.600] Like, that's, I think that quote is a little bit out of context.
[25:18.160 -> 25:25.200] But as much as I don't like change, something else, like the sprint weekend does have something
[25:25.200 -> 25:27.000] enticing because there's something definitive.
[25:27.100 -> 25:30.200] Otherwise you finish Friday and it's people just speculating
[25:30.200 -> 25:32.700] complete absolute bollocks the rest of the night.
[25:32.700 -> 25:34.100] I'm like, please.
[25:35.000 -> 25:35.600] Please.
[25:35.700 -> 25:37.000] I need to preferate my eardrums.
[25:37.000 -> 25:39.600] So I don't have to hear anything else until we qualify.
[25:40.400 -> 25:43.500] Oh, yeah, the sandbag and mate mate their sandbag and please
[25:43.500 -> 25:44.100] come on.
[25:44.600 -> 25:45.820] Come on. I'm over it. But yeah, I sandbag and mate mate, they're sandbagging. Please come on. Come on.
[25:45.820 -> 25:47.480] I'm over it.
[25:47.480 -> 25:50.080] But yeah, I don't know.
[25:50.080 -> 25:53.120] We can get, we, you, we agree we can get rid of free practice three though.
[25:53.120 -> 25:54.120] Yeah, sure.
[25:54.120 -> 25:58.200] I'll, I'll, you know, but like I also got told off.
[25:58.200 -> 26:00.920] It's like, are you saying this as you used to be a race engineer?
[26:00.920 -> 26:01.920] This is weird.
[26:01.920 -> 26:02.920] You'd say I'm like, yeah, it is.
[26:02.920 -> 26:05.240] Race engineers would love five free practice sessions.
[26:05.600 -> 26:06.400] They would love that.
[26:06.440 -> 26:07.600] Do you need five of them?
[26:07.640 -> 26:08.040] No.
[26:08.560 -> 26:10.480] Do you need, do you need three?
[26:11.560 -> 26:11.920] No.
[26:12.920 -> 26:14.560] I mean, do you, can you make them shorter?
[26:14.680 -> 26:15.480] Well, they've been making them
[26:15.480 -> 26:16.760] shorter for the last couple of years.
[26:16.760 -> 26:23.000] So anyway, anyway, so I, I don't think
[26:23.040 -> 26:29.000] that's what Stefano meant, but I also, I don't know.
[26:29.780 -> 26:30.620] Let's break it down.
[26:30.620 -> 26:30.920] Just to
[26:30.920 -> 26:31.000] , ,
[26:31.000 -> 26:31.080] ,
[26:31.080 -> 26:31.240] ,
[26:31.240 -> 26:31.320] ,
[26:31.320 -> 26:31.400] ,
[26:31.400 -> 26:31.480] ,
[26:31.480 -> 26:31.560] ,
[26:31.560 -> 26:31.640] ,
[26:31.640 -> 26:31.720] ,
[26:31.720 -> 26:31.800] ,
[26:31.800 -> 26:31.960] ,
[26:31.960 -> 26:32.120] ,
[26:32.120 -> 26:32.200] ,
[26:32.200 -> 26:32.280] ,
[26:32.280 -> 26:32.360] ,
[26:32.360 -> 26:32.440] ,
[26:32.440 -> 26:32.600] ,
[26:32.600 -> 26:32.760] ,
[26:32.760 -> 26:32.920] ,
[26:32.920 -> 26:33.040] ,
[26:33.040 -> 26:33.160] ,
[26:33.160 -> 26:33.240] ,
[26:33.240 -> 26:33.320] ,
[26:33.320 -> 26:33.400] ,
[26:33.400 -> 26:33.480] ,
[26:33.480 -> 26:33.560] ,
[26:33.560 -> 26:33.640] ,
[26:33.640 -> 26:33.720] ,
[26:33.720 -> 26:33.800] ,
[26:33.800 -> 26:33.880] ,
[26:33.880 -> 26:33.960] ,
[26:33.960 -> 26:34.040] ,
[26:34.040 -> 26:34.120] ,
[26:34.120 -> 26:34.200] ,
[26:34.200 -> 26:34.280] ,
[26:34.280 -> 26:34.360] ,
[26:34.360 -> 26:34.440] , ,
[26:34.440 -> 26:34.520] , ,
[26:34.520 -> 26:46.900] , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , that apparently he said he wants to add a competitive nature to it. Like give people a point for fastest lap or something in practice.
[26:51.360 -> 26:54.900] See now, now we're starting to talk about solutions and I'm like, no, that's dumb.
[26:55.360 -> 26:56.060] No, that's dumb.
[26:57.480 -> 26:59.080] But maybe, I don't know, maybe like.
[26:59.980 -> 27:01.500] Now points on a Sunday.
[27:03.680 -> 27:03.860] Yeah.
[27:03.860 -> 27:06.740] But like set, set something up, some incentives, some buy-in
[27:06.960 -> 27:08.260] because just running around.
[27:08.260 -> 27:13.320] But anyway, I, yeah, but the two parts of his quote, support the cancellation
[27:13.320 -> 27:15.540] of free practice sessions, dubious.
[27:15.960 -> 27:17.300] They're great use to the engineers.
[27:17.640 -> 27:18.140] True.
[27:18.300 -> 27:19.600] The public doesn't like them.
[27:19.860 -> 27:20.660] I'm not sure.
[27:20.820 -> 27:29.520] I think you will find that a lot of people do really like them and they enjoy them. Even if it's just cars doing laps, they enjoy the sights, the sounds, the smells
[27:29.520 -> 27:34.080] and the narration and the commentary from the TV and just watching the cars pound around.
[27:34.080 -> 27:37.240] But yeah, what else? What else we got?
[27:37.240 -> 27:44.120] Wow. Bad news or you Porsche or Porsche, however you want to say it.
[27:44.120 -> 27:45.300] I'm not getting the 911
[27:45.300 -> 27:50.440] you're not getting the 911 and you know who else is not getting a 911? No.
[27:50.440 -> 27:54.520] Anyone in the paddock it seems because they've officially given up on their
[27:54.520 -> 28:05.360] 2026 entry. Oh. So they were obviously in talks with Red Bull and McLaren, both of those collapsed.
[28:05.360 -> 28:07.600] Porsche wanted to buy a significant stake.
[28:08.400 -> 28:14.080] Nobody was keen to sort of do that, which I can understand.
[28:14.080 -> 28:18.280] I don't think Porsche can have that sort of swag to walk up to a team and say,
[28:18.280 -> 28:21.840] we're going to buy 50% of you and you're going to carry our badge sort of thing.
[28:22.520 -> 28:26.760] That's not how everyone works, I'm afraid, chaps.
[28:26.760 -> 28:28.120] So yeah, they basically said they've
[28:28.120 -> 28:30.760] ended their formal evaluation.
[28:30.760 -> 28:33.200] It's still of interest, but they can't see a way in.
[28:33.200 -> 28:36.240] So they're just going to focus on their existing motorsport
[28:36.240 -> 28:40.840] programs, which is their works Formula E entry,
[28:40.840 -> 28:45.820] and a high profile return to the top at the Le Mans 24 hours as part of
[28:45.820 -> 28:51.940] the 96 free hypercar project so there you go goodbye Porsche I don't do they
[28:51.940 -> 28:55.860] basically just dip in and out of Le Mans every couple of years yeah at least
[28:55.860 -> 28:59.200] recently because I'm not I'm not following endurance racing for the last
[28:59.200 -> 29:07.040] 10 years they've always had a strong GT car program but that's more like customer teams and things
[29:07.040 -> 29:14.480] like that. You'll get some factory backed drivers in some of them and whatnot and they had the is
[29:14.480 -> 29:21.360] it the 919 sorry listeners you probably shout and you know what it is. Hypercar that they had in LMH
[29:21.360 -> 29:27.980] or whatever. So yeah and now they're coming back with the, uh, 96 free.
[29:28.100 -> 29:31.020] Cause you know, we've got Ferrari with their prototype, which
[29:31.020 -> 29:32.140] looks really nice actually.
[29:32.140 -> 29:32.780] I've seen it.
[29:33.380 -> 29:34.100] Yeah, it looks good.
[29:34.900 -> 29:36.260] Um, so yeah, there you go.
[29:37.820 -> 29:41.000] Well, I mean, we're still going to have Audi coming back, so it's like.
[29:41.960 -> 29:42.880] The same.
[29:42.940 -> 29:43.440] Yeah.
[29:44.020 -> 29:44.340] Yeah.
[29:44.340 -> 29:46.840] It's kind of weird how like you're like no
[29:46.840 -> 29:51.900] but yes like your most prestige brand Porsche are now gonna have to sit on the
[29:51.900 -> 29:58.880] sidelines because you've allowed all the windows salesman's Audis to get into f1
[29:58.880 -> 30:02.920] instead so big up all of you lot driving your Audis on the motorway to a sales
[30:02.920 -> 30:06.080] call I've been there, I feel that pain.
[30:06.080 -> 30:08.080] I would love it.
[30:08.080 -> 30:11.080] Stop flashing people to get out of the way, you selfish bastards.
[30:11.080 -> 30:15.720] I would just love a big, beefy V8 Audi wagon, please.
[30:15.720 -> 30:17.720] Somebody hook me up.
[30:17.720 -> 30:21.360] Yeah, the old school RS4 V8s.
[30:21.360 -> 30:27.760] This next talking point pisses me off off because I'm not very happy about
[30:27.760 -> 30:29.960] Netflix and I'm not talking about drive to survive.
[30:31.200 -> 30:32.160] They canceled.
[30:32.160 -> 30:32.400] What was it?
[30:32.400 -> 30:35.240] 1989 or 1899.
[30:35.880 -> 30:36.320] I don't know.
[30:36.320 -> 30:37.200] I never saw it.
[30:38.280 -> 30:39.360] They canceled, sorry.
[30:39.360 -> 30:40.140] 1899.
[30:40.320 -> 30:40.880] It was great.
[30:40.880 -> 30:43.120] It was basically from the creators that did dark.
[30:43.560 -> 30:45.080] Uh, and it got one season.
[30:45.080 -> 30:46.800] They're like, Nope, this is not good.
[30:46.800 -> 30:47.520] We're going to cancel it.
[30:47.520 -> 30:49.720] And then we keep getting the same dungeons and dragons.
[30:49.720 -> 30:52.980] Want to be remakes of the Witcher films and everything else.
[30:52.980 -> 30:57.620] But Netflix have also decided they want to do a six part
[30:57.620 -> 30:59.280] mini series on the arts and center.
[30:59.980 -> 31:00.880] Yes, they have.
[31:01.060 -> 31:04.120] And they've even gone as far as to confirm the Brazilian actor,
[31:04.720 -> 31:07.360] Gabrielle Leone, uh, for the lead role.
[31:07.440 -> 31:08.840] Again, probably pronounced that wrong.
[31:08.880 -> 31:09.480] Sorry, mate.
[31:09.520 -> 31:10.020] Butchard.
[31:10.520 -> 31:10.880] Butchard.
[31:10.880 -> 31:11.600] Sorry, Gabs.
[31:11.880 -> 31:16.840] Um, the series is going to go by the title Senna, uh, which is nice and
[31:16.840 -> 31:21.600] imaginative, and it's going to cover his entire professional racing career,
[31:21.600 -> 31:33.620] starting with his move to the UK in 1981 when he competed in the F1600s, followed by further junior categories in 82, 83 and then his 84 F1 debut
[31:33.620 -> 31:34.620] with Toleman.
[31:34.620 -> 31:40.420] So yeah, interesting, no fucking clue when it's coming out though because they're not
[31:40.420 -> 31:43.260] even started filming on it yet, so no time soon.
[31:43.260 -> 31:47.000] Yeah, well if they do the same thing that they did with all the other stuff,
[31:47.000 -> 31:48.800] they've been rehashing, like they better do a good job.
[31:48.800 -> 31:50.700] Otherwise, this is going to be a war crime, isn't it?
[31:51.100 -> 31:51.700] Genuinely?
[31:53.900 -> 31:54.600] Yeah, sure.
[31:54.900 -> 31:57.600] Geneva conventions to clarify.
[31:57.600 -> 31:58.700] I'm the Witcher series.
[31:58.700 -> 31:59.200] Great.
[31:59.200 -> 32:02.900] But the blood origin, whatever they did, that was terrible.
[32:03.000 -> 32:03.800] Oh, fuck off.
[32:03.800 -> 32:04.600] I like that.
[32:05.120 -> 32:09.200] I mean, I didn't hate it, but it was still like the most generic thing.
[32:09.520 -> 32:12.060] It just blended into every other piece of trash television.
[32:12.060 -> 32:13.280] I was watching with no purpose.
[32:13.280 -> 32:14.520] I'm like, that's it.
[32:14.520 -> 32:16.320] I'm banning everyone out of the chat now.
[32:16.320 -> 32:17.520] Who's saying it was bad.
[32:18.160 -> 32:19.460] It was everybody agrees.
[32:19.460 -> 32:20.120] It was crap.
[32:20.120 -> 32:21.660] It's my fucking podcast.
[32:21.660 -> 32:22.560] I'll cry if I want.
[32:25.200 -> 32:27.680] Anyway, shall we, shall we get on?
[32:27.680 -> 32:28.720] You fucking tasteless heathens.
[32:29.360 -> 32:31.600] Dude, come on. I mean, it was really generic.
[32:31.600 -> 32:33.600] It could have been anything. It didn't even have to be Witcher.
[32:33.600 -> 32:36.880] I like generic. I don't like thinking when I watch TV. Okay?
[32:37.520 -> 32:39.360] That's fine. That's fine.
[32:39.360 -> 32:42.080] Don't question my fragile existence.
[32:42.080 -> 32:45.100] I don't want TV shows that make me have to question myself.
[32:45.520 -> 32:46.160] All right.
[32:47.560 -> 32:48.000] Bring 1899 back. That's it.
[32:50.460 -> 32:51.480] Right next.
[32:51.720 -> 32:53.480] Where are we at next?
[32:54.120 -> 32:56.360] Next movie swiftly on fuck this shit.
[33:00.600 -> 33:03.000] Should we have some, uh, join a little chat about Australia?
[33:03.820 -> 33:04.720] I love Australia.
[33:04.820 -> 33:05.800] Do you? Well, like, I love it. want to have a little chat about Australia? I love Australia. Do you?
[33:05.800 -> 33:06.800] Well, Blake.
[33:06.800 -> 33:07.800] I love it.
[33:07.800 -> 33:16.680] Let's take a little trip.
[33:16.680 -> 33:19.560] Down the Australian memory lane, baby.
[33:19.560 -> 33:21.840] Oh my God.
[33:21.840 -> 33:22.840] Oh my God.
[33:22.840 -> 33:23.840] Did you like that?
[33:23.840 -> 33:24.840] I did like that.
[33:24.840 -> 33:26.200] I was wondering what the new audio sound was.
[33:26.200 -> 33:27.200] That was really great.
[33:27.200 -> 33:28.680] That reminded me a little bit of uh...
[33:28.680 -> 33:29.680] The airhorn died.
[33:29.680 -> 33:31.960] So that could live.
[33:31.960 -> 33:35.000] Zelda A Link to the Past when you go to the healing pool.
[33:35.000 -> 33:36.600] Similar.
[33:36.600 -> 33:37.600] Not quite the same one.
[33:37.600 -> 33:38.600] I don't know.
[33:38.600 -> 33:39.600] I don't play Zelda.
[33:39.600 -> 33:40.600] I'm...
[33:40.600 -> 33:43.520] All you fucking kids and your stupid games.
[33:43.520 -> 33:45.280] Dude, I miss going to Melbourne so freaking much. All you fucking kids and your stupid games.
[33:52.640 -> 34:01.040] Dude, I miss going to Melbourne so freaking much. It was such a good place to go. It was literally like a 24 hour door to door travel experience, which is absolutely ass meat. It's not fun. It's
[34:01.040 -> 34:05.160] usually stop over in Hong Kong or Singapore land in Melbourne.
[34:09.720 -> 34:12.720] The cure for the landing in Melbourne was just to take my bicycle and then go pound around Melbourne and get like abused by motorists.
[34:13.400 -> 34:15.960] They're just like, they've got a huge cycling culture and they also
[34:15.960 -> 34:19.360] hate cyclists at the same time, which is really, really, really weird.
[34:19.600 -> 34:19.800] Yeah.
[34:19.800 -> 34:20.960] Well, you can't cycle now.
[34:20.960 -> 34:21.320] Can you?
[34:21.960 -> 34:22.400] No.
[34:22.520 -> 34:22.800] Yeah.
[34:23.200 -> 34:25.180] Well, then you could just not on Thursday at the track
[34:26.300 -> 34:32.100] Designated time which is different because they usually have v8 supercars or Australian supercars going around the track at that point
[34:32.100 -> 34:35.880] Of course, they do of course that is so you can't track all the magic hunts
[34:36.180 -> 34:39.820] Yeah, exactly. Pick up all your Aussies in your sick
[34:41.300 -> 34:43.300] Stato's that's what they're called
[34:42.880 -> 34:45.680] Oh, state owes, that's what they're called. I think that's what they call them, state owes.
[34:45.680 -> 34:48.640] Now I think state owes are like V8 saloons or something.
[34:48.640 -> 34:49.480] Oh, fine.
[34:49.480 -> 34:50.440] Aussie fans, let me know.
[34:50.440 -> 34:51.440] I'm probably talking shit,
[34:51.440 -> 34:52.640] but I'm pretty sure that's what they're called.
[34:52.640 -> 34:53.800] Exactly.
[34:53.800 -> 34:55.320] But dude, seriously, like,
[34:55.320 -> 34:57.440] if you want to go to Oz or Melbourne,
[34:57.440 -> 35:00.560] best coffee, best pastries, amazing food.
[35:00.560 -> 35:01.800] The people are awesome.
[35:03.320 -> 35:11.160] I could seriously live there if it wasn't so far away from everything that I know, but, um, this was, this was a cool one. There's,
[35:11.160 -> 35:15.840] there's a thing that always happens during a Saturday and Sunday. There's fighter jet
[35:15.840 -> 35:20.000] flybys and if you don't know they're coming and you're like, you know, like in your temporary
[35:20.000 -> 35:27.640] tents or in a building, these things rip directly overhead and blow your eardrums out.
[35:27.680 -> 35:30.720] I remember once I was taking a piss and I must have pissed all over myself
[35:30.720 -> 35:33.320] because it's the living crap out of me.
[35:33.960 -> 35:36.760] It happens like on Saturday and Sunday before qualifying the race, but it's
[35:36.760 -> 35:40.040] like, Holy, and it's a, is a sight to behold.
[35:40.400 -> 35:42.120] It is an absolute sight to behold.
[35:43.280 -> 35:47.400] Never had, never had the fortune of going to Australia.
[35:47.400 -> 35:48.400] It's a good one.
[35:48.400 -> 35:52.660] Honestly, if I could, if I could be like, Hey, dear anybody, I would love for you to
[35:52.660 -> 35:56.240] fly me out to a race so that we could do content with you.
[35:56.240 -> 35:59.520] I think Australia would be the one if they wanted to pay for us to come out there.
[35:59.520 -> 36:03.360] Because let's be honest, I can't afford it.
[36:03.360 -> 36:05.540] But no, but we're, but we're getting
[36:05.540 -> 36:11.880] closer, which brings us to what?
[36:11.880 -> 36:12.140] Ready?
[36:12.260 -> 36:12.840] No, I don't know.
[36:12.840 -> 36:15.140] Being able to be able to afford to go to Australia.
[36:15.140 -> 36:17.840] Oh, is this the bit where we put the ads in where we make money?
[36:18.580 -> 36:18.840] Yeah.
[36:18.900 -> 36:19.600] Oh, fuck it.
[36:19.600 -> 36:20.620] I'm half asleep.
[36:20.620 -> 36:22.620] You know, you got to make these things more obvious to me.
[36:22.620 -> 36:23.700] I'm too fucking stupid.
[36:24.500 -> 36:31.240] Sorry. Right. Okay. everybody ready for an ad?
[36:31.640 -> 36:37.040] Hello it's me again just to tell you that we are continuing our deal with

[37:34.160 -> 37:34.400] Yes.
[37:34.400 -> 37:37.760] And you know what I heard of something once from an Australia person that I
[37:37.760 -> 37:42.100] know it's not burnout, so something called a Lonnie and it's a thing where
[37:42.100 -> 37:45.840] you basically pull up on someone's lawn and leave some number 11s in their lawn. And it's called a Lonnie and it's a thing where you basically pull up on someone's lawn and
[37:45.840 -> 37:49.240] leave some number 11s in their lawn and it's called a Lonnie.
[37:50.340 -> 37:52.600] Can any Aussies confirm or deny?
[37:52.600 -> 37:53.040] Confirm?
[37:53.440 -> 37:53.720] Yeah.
[37:54.560 -> 37:54.840] Yeah.
[37:54.840 -> 37:56.360] A little, just do a cheeky Lonnie, mate.
[37:56.360 -> 37:56.720] All right.
[37:56.720 -> 37:57.000] Yeah.
[37:57.120 -> 37:57.720] Down the road.
[37:57.760 -> 37:57.960] Yeah.
[37:57.960 -> 38:00.480] Steve's been a bit of a belly and let's go give him a Lonnie.
[38:00.600 -> 38:01.040] Yeah, no.
[38:01.040 -> 38:01.440] Yeah.
[38:04.840 -> 38:06.020] Oh my God. Oh my God.
[38:06.860 -> 38:07.740] Oh my God.
[38:08.860 -> 38:11.900] Is that not a crime?
[38:11.900 -> 38:12.920] I'm sure it's a crime.
[38:14.540 -> 38:15.040] Yeah.
[38:15.380 -> 38:17.180] Of course it's, I'm not saying do it.
[38:17.180 -> 38:20.620] I'm saying it's not a thing, but like maybe it's something that is similar
[38:20.620 -> 38:22.460] to the toilet paper in someone's trees.
[38:22.540 -> 38:23.500] So who knows?
[38:23.620 -> 38:23.820] Yeah.
[38:23.820 -> 38:24.940] The Australian version.
[38:25.040 -> 38:25.800] Yeah, exactly Australian version.
[38:26.560 -> 38:27.040] Yeah, exactly. Why don't we?
[38:27.040 -> 38:28.560] Why don't we roll it back?
[38:28.560 -> 38:31.060] Let's talk now that we're on Melbourne time.
[38:31.060 -> 38:31.960] Australian life.
[38:31.960 -> 38:34.320] Let's roll back to the last couple of years.
[38:38.400 -> 38:40.440] This takes me right back again.
[38:40.920 -> 38:41.720] Yeah, I love it.
[38:41.720 -> 38:42.160] I love it.
[38:42.160 -> 38:42.880] Take us back.
[38:42.920 -> 38:43.600] Take us back.
[38:43.640 -> 38:45.680] So take us back. Fuck
[38:45.680 -> 38:51.560] sake. I'll do the first one. I'll let you, I'll let you will tag team these. So Australia
[38:51.560 -> 38:56.240] 2015, it was my first year at Red Bull racing at the track. I was the Neil Kiviat performance
[38:56.240 -> 39:03.520] engineer and it was kind of a scrappy weekend. Uh, first, second year of the V8 or the hybrid
[39:03.520 -> 39:09.200] V6 is we had a electronics failure in the gearbox on the way to the grid.
[39:09.200 -> 39:12.400] The whole thing basically melted all the wiring inside the gearbox
[39:12.400 -> 39:13.680] and it was a shit fight.
[39:13.880 -> 39:17.360] At the same time, Daniel Ricardo also had some issues, I believe.
[39:17.360 -> 39:20.720] I could be mixing this up, but I'm pretty sure Daniel also had issues.
[39:21.000 -> 39:24.360] They basically had to pull all the bodywork off and cut holes
[39:24.360 -> 39:25.680] in the heat shields to access
[39:25.680 -> 39:28.360] a connector to try and plug the ear box back in.
[39:28.360 -> 39:32.440] I feel like I've told this story recently, but he finally made it to the grid and that
[39:32.440 -> 39:38.660] was my first experience of Australia with Red Bull.
[39:38.660 -> 39:40.680] And it's kind of a longstanding theme.
[39:40.680 -> 39:44.120] I don't really have any fond memories of being at the racetrack in Melbourne at all.
[39:44.120 -> 39:45.040] Well, there you go. We're not getting invited to fucking Melbourne anytime soon then. standing theme I don't really have any fond memories of being at the racetrack in Melbourne
[39:49.120 -> 39:49.840] at all. Oh there you go we're not getting invited to f**king Melbourne anytime soon then.
[39:54.400 -> 39:56.560] No I'm a bad luck trump, I'm not a bad luck trump but um speaking of domination
[40:05.160 -> 40:09.480] 2015 second year of the v6 hybrids Hamilton qualifies 1.4 seconds ahead of the next team. Felipe Massa in a Williams who qualified third.
[40:10.000 -> 40:13.320] Seb just a few hundreds behind Felipe and the Ferrari Red Bull
[40:13.880 -> 40:15.680] 1.7 seconds off a pole.
[40:16.320 -> 40:20.600] Hamilton and Rossberg finished 35 seconds ahead of Vettel on the Ferrari.
[40:21.040 -> 40:25.040] Uh, Ricardo in P6. Finished a lap down.
[40:25.380 -> 40:29.780] Fuck you know, I mean, don't get me wrong.
[40:30.260 -> 40:34.040] Um, teams being able to run away with a championship like that is not ideal,
[40:34.700 -> 40:38.440] but, um, this is not, this is if anybody's tuning in, you're thinking, yeah,
[40:38.440 -> 40:40.420] these red bulls are really fast and they're annoying.
[40:40.420 -> 40:42.580] I'm like, yeah, this is kind of normal.
[40:43.400 -> 40:46.480] Especially this was second year of a regulation cycle., and this was second year of a regulation cycle.
[40:46.480 -> 40:49.060] We're on the second year of a regulation cycle.
[40:49.060 -> 40:50.360] So yeah.
[40:50.360 -> 40:51.360] What else we got?
[40:51.360 -> 40:52.360] Tell me about 2016.
[40:52.360 -> 40:55.920] That was my first.
[40:55.920 -> 40:56.920] Yeah.
[40:56.920 -> 40:59.320] My first Australia.
[40:59.320 -> 41:03.000] And it was the one where we had that fucking stupid bullshit qualifying idea.
[41:03.000 -> 41:04.000] Do you remember this?
[41:04.000 -> 41:08.400] It was like a clock that ran down and then you had to, it was so stupid.
[41:08.400 -> 41:11.120] I can't even fucking remember like the, the concept of it.
[41:11.120 -> 41:16.160] I think this was like Bernie's dying sort of gift to F1 before he sort of left.
[41:16.160 -> 41:18.800] I think it was, and he was like, I'm just going to fuck up qualifying.
[41:19.440 -> 41:23.580] Um, and it ended up with like no cars on track for the last seven minutes of Q1
[41:23.580 -> 41:25.120] because it was just fucking pointless.
[41:25.120 -> 41:28.000] And it was like, wow, well, this is, this is bullshit.
[41:28.000 -> 41:28.320] But.
[41:28.840 -> 41:34.040] Officially they called it devil take the hind most, which is very interesting for a
[41:34.040 -> 41:36.320] naming convention for a qualifying format.
[41:36.320 -> 41:36.520] But.
[41:36.800 -> 41:42.000] All I remember is everyone in software being extremely fucking pissed off because
[41:42.000 -> 41:47.000] they had to redo all their fucking software models and all their tools and things like that for a
[41:47.000 -> 41:51.100] qualifying format that only lasted in the end two free races.
[41:51.600 -> 41:57.000] Yeah, it was so bad, but it was like it was so confusing because you could go out and set a lap right?
[41:57.000 -> 42:03.200] And if you weren't on track at the right time, after like seven minutes to go in the session, they start eliminating cars and it's like.
[42:01.200 -> 42:02.800] seven minutes to go in the session, they start eliminating cars.
[42:02.800 -> 42:06.240] And it's like, so your second fastest
[42:06.240 -> 42:08.800] when you set your lap and you're just waiting to go again.
[42:08.800 -> 42:10.520] And then the timer starts counting down
[42:10.520 -> 42:11.640] and then everybody gets eliminated.
[42:11.640 -> 42:14.860] And you're like, what do we, wait, what?
[42:14.860 -> 42:15.700] We're eliminated?
[42:15.700 -> 42:18.120] And it was the stupidest, most confusing thing.
[42:18.120 -> 42:20.260] And the interesting thing about that is
[42:20.260 -> 42:22.600] you didn't actually have to have one of those
[42:22.600 -> 42:25.600] qualifying sessions to know it was a stupid idea.
[42:25.600 -> 42:30.720] It was a stupid idea. So whoever came up with that one, Bernie, I hope it wasn't you, mate.
[42:30.720 -> 42:34.160] Yeah, Bernie Ecclestone, that is. We've got a new Bernie, a much better one now.
[42:35.040 -> 42:35.520] Exactly.
[42:35.520 -> 42:39.440] And I think that was Australia 2016 was...
[42:41.760 -> 42:48.600] What session was it? It may have been P3 or it might've been qualifying where Danny Rick lost GPS off the car.
[42:50.200 -> 42:55.800] And if you watch back the sky replay of it, there's a radio message where the
[42:55.800 -> 42:58.880] garage is talking to Danny Rick about losing the GPS.
[42:59.480 -> 43:03.120] And my claim to fame, ladies and gentlemen, is I was the one that pressed the wrong
[43:03.120 -> 43:06.960] button and fucked it and broke the GPS on his car.
[43:06.960 -> 43:07.960] You dumbass.
[43:07.960 -> 43:12.560] So while that message is going out on the telly, which I had it like in one ear, I was
[43:12.560 -> 43:16.480] just sitting there desperately trying to fix the fucking system to get it to come back
[43:16.480 -> 43:17.480] up.
[43:17.480 -> 43:23.480] So yeah, but jokes aside, not having GPS positioning on a car while it's on a live track is actually
[43:23.480 -> 43:25.200] really fucking dangerous.
[43:31.120 -> 43:35.760] Yeah, but what's also good is if you're now on the FIU, you have a camera on that car so you can see where the car is on the track, which the FIU just found about in Jeddah last week after Lance
[43:35.760 -> 43:45.000] Stroll retired. Bots. But, um, so yeah So I don't have any fond memories of Oz.
[43:45.000 -> 43:46.640] I was on Daniel's car that year as well.
[43:46.900 -> 43:48.680] Uh, we DNF with an electrical issues.
[43:49.860 -> 43:51.840] So that sucks.
[43:52.160 -> 43:53.240] Was that 2000?
[43:53.960 -> 43:54.400] No, it's gone.
[43:54.720 -> 43:58.280] Was that not way DNF on the way to the grid or was that the year before?
[43:58.280 -> 44:00.360] That was the year before that was on the way to the grid.
[44:00.640 -> 44:02.720] This one was another electrical issue.
[44:02.800 -> 44:05.680] So, uh, Australia, 2017.
[44:06.520 -> 44:09.560] Guess who made their race day, but
[44:10.520 -> 44:11.640] Lawrence stroll,
[44:13.160 -> 44:14.080] pick yourself up.
[44:15.040 -> 44:16.200] It was Lance actually, but
[44:16.560 -> 44:17.560] or did I say Lawrence?
[44:18.040 -> 44:20.040] Yeah, maybe Lawrence as well.
[44:20.040 -> 44:21.080] Lawrence made his debut.
[44:21.720 -> 44:26.000] He was probably the exactly, uh, stroll Williams F1 debut.
[44:26.300 -> 44:31.040] Now attrition attrition in Australia is tough because it up until.
[44:31.980 -> 44:34.040] 2019.
[44:34.040 -> 44:39.620] It was the first race of the season, but, um, P seven downwards, finishing a lap
[44:39.620 -> 44:43.260] down, Seb won the race in the Ferrari by 10 seconds over Hamilton.
[44:43.260 -> 44:45.240] So the turns have tabled a little bit.
[44:46.300 -> 44:47.100] What else we got?
[44:48.100 -> 44:51.240] Australia, 2018 new driver debut.
[44:51.520 -> 44:51.960] Who was it?
[44:52.640 -> 44:55.360] Uh, Chuck, our good friend, Chuck.
[44:56.260 -> 44:57.420] I feel so old, man.
[44:57.460 -> 45:01.040] So he shows up in a Sauber in 2018.
[45:01.700 -> 45:03.320] That's not that long ago.
[45:03.320 -> 45:05.040] I'm my back hurts.
[45:05.440 -> 45:06.040] Seriously.
[45:06.440 -> 45:08.920] Is your back hurts because you carry this podcast?
[45:09.640 -> 45:11.000] No, no, no, no.
[45:11.520 -> 45:13.760] But 2018 was awesome.
[45:14.600 -> 45:16.200] The first year of drive to survive.
[45:16.280 -> 45:16.960] Oh, right.
[45:17.600 -> 45:21.000] Listen, pre-warning you now listeners, buckle in because this is going to turn
[45:21.000 -> 45:22.000] into a Blake rant.
[45:22.200 -> 45:23.160] Blake, take it away.
[45:25.400 -> 45:30.720] I, so anyway, um, 2017 was my last track side season, but, uh, the
[45:30.720 -> 45:34.400] person who replaced me at the track, they were having a baby.
[45:34.820 -> 45:36.600] Uh, so I did Melbourne that year, which is great.
[45:36.600 -> 45:41.420] Cause I took my bicycle out and probably did about 200 kilometers
[45:41.420 -> 45:43.840] in a couple of days before the race, which was a lot for me.
[45:43.840 -> 45:44.760] Cause I was really unfit.
[45:45.120 -> 45:48.280] And that's when the whole 30 seconds, 30 seconds debacle happened.
[45:48.280 -> 45:52.780] So in the season one trailer, there's a clip of somebody, there's Simon Rennie standing
[45:52.780 -> 45:55.220] on the grid with his clipboard looking at Daniel's car.
[45:55.220 -> 45:58.600] There's me saying 30 seconds, 30 seconds on the radio.
[45:58.600 -> 46:03.560] Um, and then later in the episode, they just cut some shots in like, I don't know, Barcelona
[46:03.560 -> 46:04.560] of hue in the garage.
[46:04.560 -> 46:05.520] It's like you rats.
[46:05.720 -> 46:06.240] That was me.
[46:07.440 -> 46:08.520] So fine.
[46:08.840 -> 46:09.480] I hate it here.
[46:09.880 -> 46:12.920] And you didn't get, you didn't get your royalties or anything.
[46:12.920 -> 46:13.400] Did you mate?
[46:13.760 -> 46:15.480] No, no, they didn't even say thank you.
[46:16.960 -> 46:17.200] Fuck.
[46:17.200 -> 46:18.680] I didn't say thank you, but fuck.
[46:18.680 -> 46:18.920] Um,
[46:18.920 -> 46:20.720] Alex, fuck you drive to survive.
[46:20.720 -> 46:21.120] Fuck you.
[46:21.120 -> 46:23.280] Counseling 1899 or
[46:23.720 -> 46:24.640] yeah, exactly.
[46:24.640 -> 46:26.200] Netflix. you rats.
[46:26.600 -> 46:28.160] Um, I haven't watched this.
[46:28.200 -> 46:30.160] Have you watched Drive to Survive this season?
[46:30.200 -> 46:30.840] I didn't watch it.
[46:31.160 -> 46:31.560] I've watched it.
[46:31.560 -> 46:32.360] I've watched some of it.
[46:32.960 -> 46:38.200] Um, and I think maybe, uh, we should probably continue to watch the season.
[46:38.800 -> 46:42.440] And then when we got that stupid four week break in a couple of weeks time,
[46:42.440 -> 46:47.980] maybe we can do a special episode slagging off DTS.
[46:47.980 -> 46:54.060] Anybody down for that? I'm down. So to finish off the despair of 2018, Federal leads Hamilton
[46:54.060 -> 46:58.980] and Ferrari in the championship. The top 14 finish on the final lap, but there's still
[46:58.980 -> 47:08.060] five DNFs. I can't believe some nerd with a beard in the twitch chat just gifted a tier one sub to Netflix
[47:08.060 -> 47:11.960] I am absolutely dying. Oh my god
[47:13.840 -> 47:17.940] Only I'm just nothing to corn with the room just fucking pissing myself over this
[47:20.120 -> 47:24.520] The nerd with the beard brother I appreciate you but Netflix bring back
[47:24.960 -> 47:25.860] 1899 and we might
[47:25.860 -> 47:27.340] get some more gifted in here, right?
[47:27.340 -> 47:29.180] Yeah, Netflix, fuck off.
[47:29.180 -> 47:30.180] Right.
[47:30.180 -> 47:33.540] All right, 2019, what we got, bro?
[47:33.540 -> 47:36.660] That's when Chuck was in Ferrari.
[47:36.660 -> 47:37.660] Yep.
[47:37.660 -> 47:38.660] Yeah.
[47:38.660 -> 47:39.660] Four years ago.
[47:39.660 -> 47:44.660] He's been beaten to death by Ferrari for a hard four years.
[47:44.660 -> 47:45.160] This dude's a bit of a weapon. You've been beaten to death by Ferrari for a hard four years.
[47:46.280 -> 47:49.960] This dude's a bit of a weapon. He spent one year in the Sauber and then he rocks up to Ferrari.
[47:50.480 -> 47:57.000] We also had the bonus point introduction for fastest lap in 2019.
[47:57.080 -> 47:58.200] I didn't even remember when we did that.
[47:58.600 -> 48:02.560] I mean, I thought it was a little longer ago than that, 2019, but yeah.
[48:03.280 -> 48:03.600] Cool.
[48:03.640 -> 48:03.880] Yeah.
[48:04.160 -> 48:04.640] I like that.
[48:04.680 -> 48:05.720] I think that's a good addition.
[48:06.540 -> 48:07.180] I like it too.
[48:07.180 -> 48:11.120] Especially when teammates try to take the fastest lap off of each other and then the
[48:11.120 -> 48:14.100] internet drunk divides itself and the drama.
[48:14.100 -> 48:15.720] I mean, come on, that wasn't even drama.
[48:16.760 -> 48:18.880] No, it's just too racist trying to get a fastest lap.
[48:19.820 -> 48:21.640] I'm into, I'm into the fastest lap point.
[48:21.640 -> 48:22.520] I think it's interesting.
[48:22.920 -> 48:27.240] Um, Botas beats Hamilton and equal machinery that year as well.
[48:28.360 -> 48:28.880] Yes.
[48:28.960 -> 48:29.240] Yeah.
[48:29.280 -> 48:30.560] Do you want to know a fun fact?
[48:30.600 -> 48:31.560] I didn't know about this.
[48:32.320 -> 48:32.680] Right.
[48:33.440 -> 48:38.120] How many times has seven time world champion driver Lewis
[48:38.120 -> 48:39.720] Hamilton won in Melbourne?
[48:42.080 -> 48:42.920] Does he have five?
[48:43.960 -> 48:44.360] Two.
[48:45.000 -> 48:46.000] Really? Only two.
[48:46.000 -> 48:47.000] Yeah.
[48:47.000 -> 48:51.000] Oh, I thought I would have been a lot higher.
[48:51.000 -> 48:54.000] Yeah, I thought it would have as well.
[48:54.000 -> 48:55.880] All right, go on then.
[48:55.880 -> 48:56.880] What two races do you know?
[48:56.880 -> 48:57.880] Oh God, now you're asking me?
[48:57.880 -> 48:58.880] No, I just read it.
[48:58.880 -> 48:59.880] I just read it on a website.
[48:59.880 -> 49:00.880] Oh, fine.
[49:00.880 -> 49:05.160] That's what I do with most of my points as well.
[49:07.480 -> 49:09.240] So we were all the way to 2019, 2020. You guys remember what happened that race that year?
[49:09.640 -> 49:10.760] Absolutely lit.
[49:11.200 -> 49:13.520] Everybody flies out to that event.
[49:13.920 -> 49:15.920] Um, my better half included.
[49:16.440 -> 49:21.480] And then, uh, somebody from McLaren's team gets the COVID.
[49:23.680 -> 49:23.940] Yeah.
[49:23.940 -> 49:28.640] And that's when like everybody was super, super cautious about,
[49:28.880 -> 49:30.120] you know, we don't know what it was.
[49:30.120 -> 49:31.040] It's going to destroy the world.
[49:31.040 -> 49:33.040] It's going to change everybody's lives for the next couple of years.
[49:33.240 -> 49:36.120] COVID hits no Grand Prix 2021.
[49:36.640 -> 49:39.720] I'll show you still quite strict on COVID procedures.
[49:39.960 -> 49:40.560] No event.
[49:41.040 -> 49:42.600] 2022 last year.
[49:43.240 -> 49:44.240] We're freaking back.
[49:44.320 -> 49:44.960] Tell me about it.
[49:45.040 -> 49:45.400] How was it? No event 2022 last year. We're freaking back. Tell me about it.
[49:45.880 -> 49:47.720] How was it?
[49:52.040 -> 49:52.080] Well, I was just going to go back a bit and say how much of a fucking shambles
[49:56.720 -> 50:01.600] the 2020 was because they didn't cancel it until, what was it like an hour or 30 minutes before FP one people were standing at the gate.
[50:01.800 -> 50:02.160] Yeah.
[50:02.160 -> 50:03.120] And there was, they did.
[50:03.240 -> 50:06.960] They even did the first, maybe it was the
[50:06.960 -> 50:08.320] supercars or something,
[50:09.080 -> 50:11.400] Oh, they did a support event before bending the whole event.
[50:11.400 -> 50:12.320] Oh yeah.
[50:13.520 -> 50:16.040] So yeah, it was not bad,
[50:17.240 -> 50:19.600] but like, honestly, that was after that it was great.
[50:19.600 -> 50:22.920] Cause I spent the next couple of years or next couple of months in my house,
[50:22.920 -> 50:24.360] streaming war zone and on Twitch.
[50:24.360 -> 50:29.440] And if it wasn't for that, I know, I know know i know i'm not saying it's a good thing but i'm looking at the good and the
[50:29.440 -> 50:35.200] bad if it wasn't for that i would probably never be streaming on twitch or making formula one content
[50:35.200 -> 50:41.760] so when you when you get lemons smash them up and drink the sour stuff i still had to go to the
[50:41.760 -> 50:45.160] factory and i had a special piece of paperwork
[50:45.160 -> 50:49.420] and everything that says I was authorized to go out my house to work.
[50:49.420 -> 50:56.500] Really? That was when we were converting to doing the, I've forgotten what they
[50:56.500 -> 50:59.200] officially called them, but the ventilators they started building. Oh
[50:59.200 -> 51:02.200] yeah. Remember when all the teams collaborated on a ventilator? I was a
[51:02.200 -> 51:05.160] part of that. That's cool. Oh yeah.
[51:05.240 -> 51:08.200] I was sitting around in my pants playing a war zone one.
[51:08.360 -> 51:09.200] Oh gee war zone.
[51:09.280 -> 51:09.800] Oh my God.
[51:09.800 -> 51:10.760] I miss it so much.
[51:13.680 -> 51:16.080] So that was 2020, 2021.
[51:16.080 -> 51:19.000] The world is still in turmoil, so we don't go to Australia.
[51:20.000 -> 51:22.560] Um, 2022.
[51:23.800 -> 51:24.560] We're back, baby.
[51:26.560 -> 51:27.060] Hmm.
[51:27.120 -> 51:28.360] There's no longer the first round.
[51:29.280 -> 51:29.520] Oh yeah.
[51:29.520 -> 51:31.280] They moved it to where it is now.
[51:31.280 -> 51:31.880] Third slot.
[51:32.360 -> 51:33.800] It's such a good season opener though.
[51:33.800 -> 51:35.000] Bahrain sucks as an Oprah.
[51:35.000 -> 51:36.440] I mean, Bahrain is a bad-ass circuit.
[51:36.720 -> 51:37.400] Don't get me wrong.
[51:37.540 -> 51:41.760] I like Bahrain, but, uh, I just like emotionally Melbourne's still
[51:41.760 -> 51:42.880] the first race of the year for me.
[51:43.840 -> 51:44.180] Yeah.
[51:44.200 -> 51:44.400] Yeah.
[51:44.400 -> 51:46.000] That's how I feel too.
[51:46.000 -> 51:50.000] It's just like one of those things, like Barcelona's race 5.
[51:50.000 -> 51:52.000] And that's it.
[51:52.000 -> 51:55.000] Nothing else to discuss.
[51:55.000 -> 51:59.000] Chucky Leclerc, pole and win.
[51:59.000 -> 52:02.000] Max DNF, Perez P2.
[52:02.000 -> 52:05.760] Max is 2 DNFs in a row, isn't he?
[52:05.760 -> 52:10.560] Oh, that's where there's like a really cool photo of him just stepping out of like a red
[52:10.560 -> 52:12.080] ball that's half on fire.
[52:12.080 -> 52:18.480] Oh yeah, and probably the one of the marshals firing, firing stuff up the tailpipe of the
[52:18.480 -> 52:20.120] car and ruining the turbo.
[52:20.120 -> 52:24.120] Yeah, that was a rough time, wasn't it?
[52:24.120 -> 52:34.320] Yeah. That was also, I believe, the record for the most points deficit to first place being nice
[52:34.320 -> 52:35.320] for anyone.
[52:35.320 -> 52:37.880] I think it was 46 points down.
[52:37.880 -> 52:42.600] I think that's the record for most points behind and then coming back to win the championship.
[52:42.600 -> 52:43.600] That's wacky.
[52:43.600 -> 52:44.600] So there you go.
[52:44.600 -> 52:45.520] Oh, useless trivia. The t wacky. So there you go. Useless trivia.
[52:47.140 -> 52:49.500] The tides of formula one turning quite quickly.
[52:49.580 -> 52:53.340] And I don't see them turning like that this year, but it's, it's race three again.
[52:54.180 -> 52:57.580] It's race three 46 point deficit being overcome.
[52:58.020 -> 53:03.520] Um, Mercedes last season finished fourth and fifth as they did most of the season.
[53:03.980 -> 53:05.200] Pretty consistently, actually, uh, 25 seconds behind. season finished fourth and fifth as they did most of the season pretty consistently actually
[53:05.840 -> 53:12.800] 25 seconds behind and then at the start of last year like the ferrari's pace and degradation and
[53:12.800 -> 53:16.320] everything was awesome they had a little bit of porpoising present and we're like all right the
[53:16.320 -> 53:20.480] car's bouncing a bit but the car was quick at the start of the season and they undeveloped it
[53:20.480 -> 53:34.920] throughout the whole season the claire finished 20 seconds ahead of Red Bull 25 seconds ahead of Mercedes. Yowch. Yowch. I caramba. So we've also got a little
[53:34.920 -> 53:44.640] 2023 Australian Grand Prix preview looking forward. You just have to pretend that that
[53:44.640 -> 53:45.800] means looking forward.
[53:46.400 -> 53:48.500] Yeah, so we were we were we were in the past.
[53:48.500 -> 53:50.000] Yeah, we've progressed gotten closer.
[53:50.000 -> 53:52.900] Now we stepped into the future today.
[53:53.500 -> 53:58.800] So I completely forgot that they revamped the entire circuit
[53:58.800 -> 54:00.500] after the the covid break.
[54:00.600 -> 54:04.200] They got rid of the chicane 910, which is now 910 is the fast
[54:04.400 -> 54:05.000] left right.
[54:05.280 -> 54:07.240] Um, much better for it.
[54:07.240 -> 54:09.240] I think I like it.
[54:09.320 -> 54:13.520] I was, uh, I've definitely not been playing it on my SIM rig for a couple
[54:13.580 -> 54:15.320] afternoons, getting everything dialed in.
[54:15.600 -> 54:16.360] It's a fun track.
[54:16.360 -> 54:17.520] It's a super cool track.
[54:17.520 -> 54:18.240] A lot of flow.
[54:18.600 -> 54:22.480] Um, that section is rapid, rapid, rapid.
[54:22.920 -> 54:23.200] Yeah.
[54:23.640 -> 54:23.920] Yeah.
[54:24.080 -> 54:29.320] But, um, some good changes, I believe, but they've, they also changed something
[54:29.320 -> 54:30.680] else and they kind of went back on it.
[54:30.680 -> 54:31.320] Now we've gone back.
[54:31.320 -> 54:37.120] So last year we had four, four DRS zones and one of the DRS zones that the one in
[54:37.120 -> 54:41.640] question that we'll talk about was into the very, very super, super fast left, right.
[54:42.240 -> 54:46.400] Uh, turn nine 10 now after Friday, they're like, you know what?
[54:46.400 -> 54:47.120] We're going to get rid of that.
[54:47.120 -> 54:48.040] It's dangerous.
[54:48.880 -> 54:50.640] I'm like, okay, I could see that.
[54:51.960 -> 54:53.800] And then this year they're like, yeah, we're putting it back in.
[54:55.520 -> 54:56.360] I don't get it.
[54:56.380 -> 54:56.860] I don't get it.
[54:56.860 -> 55:00.240] Like maybe that's, I don't think, I reckon it's going to be another
[55:00.240 -> 55:02.040] fucking scenario of last year.
[55:02.080 -> 55:02.280] Yeah.
[55:02.280 -> 55:05.060] They'll do like free practice one and two and say, you know what?
[55:05.060 -> 55:05.700] We're getting rid of it.
[55:05.700 -> 55:06.480] It's too dangerous.
[55:07.740 -> 55:08.220] Fair enough.
[55:08.660 -> 55:10.200] Yeah, that's my theory anyway.
[55:11.140 -> 55:15.300] So yeah, so we basically got two DRS detection zones, one at the start of the
[55:15.300 -> 55:19.860] first straight and one out of, was it six or seven into the fast section?
[55:20.460 -> 55:22.720] I didn't two DRS sections following that.
[55:22.720 -> 55:26.700] So two detections with two activation zones each.
[55:28.100 -> 55:29.400] 58 lap race.
[55:29.600 -> 55:31.800] We've got C2, 3, and 4.
[55:32.000 -> 55:34.600] One step from the heart or two steps from the hardest compounds
[55:34.600 -> 55:35.900] now because we have a C0.
[55:36.100 -> 55:38.200] It's the same allocation as they had last year.
[55:40.000 -> 55:41.100] I got some bad news.
[55:41.700 -> 55:42.500] Oh, what?
[55:43.500 -> 55:46.600] Well, this is another low degradation.
[55:46.600 -> 55:47.500] One stopper.
[55:48.040 -> 55:48.620] I reckon.
[55:51.000 -> 55:53.540] So you think it's just going to be a boring one stop.
[55:54.900 -> 55:55.540] I hope not.
[55:55.960 -> 55:56.460] I will.
[55:56.460 -> 55:56.820] I hope not.
[55:57.100 -> 56:02.620] I will put on my hat, optimist hat and say a little bit in the past, Australia
[56:02.620 -> 56:04.300] has thrown up some weird results.
[56:04.780 -> 56:08.460] Cars that have looked strong in Australia have looked shit everywhere else.
[56:09.100 -> 56:10.980] So a couple of years in a row.
[56:11.020 -> 56:11.320] Yeah.
[56:11.340 -> 56:15.540] I don't think that means Red Bull are going to magically end up sixth and
[56:15.540 -> 56:19.000] seventh for anything like that, but perhaps it might mess around
[56:19.000 -> 56:19.900] with the order a little bit.
[56:20.760 -> 56:21.720] Yeah, I could see that.
[56:21.760 -> 56:27.280] But I think, I think we get, we get accused of being Red Bull apologists and biased and shit like
[56:27.280 -> 56:28.280] that.
[56:28.280 -> 56:29.280] But at the same time-
[56:29.280 -> 56:30.280] Yeah, I won't apologize for it.
[56:30.280 -> 56:35.000] I won't apologize for it either, because they paid my mortgage for a number of years and
[56:35.000 -> 56:36.360] you just buy their drinks.
[56:36.360 -> 56:39.040] Yeah, and they did really good catering.
[56:39.040 -> 56:40.040] Yeah, exactly.
[56:40.040 -> 56:41.040] It fed me.
[56:41.040 -> 56:43.560] But that doesn't make any of our points less valuable.
[56:43.560 -> 56:49.720] All I'm trying to say is I don't enjoy seeing the Red Bulls run off in one to it.
[56:49.720 -> 56:51.320] I'd love to see I want to see Hamilton.
[56:51.320 -> 56:53.440] I want to see Russell.
[56:53.440 -> 56:55.360] I want to see LeClaire.
[56:55.360 -> 56:56.760] I'm not sure we'll see signs in there.
[56:56.760 -> 56:59.320] But if we do see him, I hope he can fight too.
[56:59.320 -> 57:01.200] I'm just yeah, I get it.
[57:01.200 -> 57:04.240] And it's it's more interesting for everybody else because we can focus on the interesting
[57:04.240 -> 57:07.080] battles instead of making up all this drama to traumatize and hurt
[57:07.080 -> 57:10.440] ourselves because we have that empty hole from a boring one stop in our lives.
[57:10.520 -> 57:14.680] Yeah, it's hard to it's hard to make contest content for a podcast when the
[57:14.680 -> 57:16.280] same team are doing one, two every week.
[57:17.120 -> 57:19.520] Chat, I don't have it in me to do this every week.
[57:20.440 -> 57:21.840] No, not if this keeps happening.
[57:21.840 -> 57:24.960] And if this keeps happening, it's Mercedes fault for not
[57:24.960 -> 57:26.780] building a faster car this year.
[57:26.780 -> 57:27.780] This is on you!
[57:27.780 -> 57:28.780] Picture fucking car.
[57:28.780 -> 57:31.040] Listen, I've got a great plan, right?
[57:31.040 -> 57:34.380] If this, if they, if they want to, right?
[57:34.380 -> 57:36.860] The entire first half of the season.
[57:36.860 -> 57:38.220] We'll make it fun somehow.
[57:38.220 -> 57:39.220] Yeah.
[57:39.220 -> 57:42.540] And if you're listening and you're a Mercedes fan or an Aston fan or whatever, here's what
[57:42.540 -> 57:43.540] you got to do.
[57:43.540 -> 57:47.580] You got to tag Red Bull Racing on Twitter and say, Hey, could you rehire Dan and
[57:47.580 -> 57:47.920] Blake?
[57:47.920 -> 57:49.700] Because when you were there, you weren't winning.
[57:52.420 -> 57:56.200] Get us our job back and we will destroy an exit from the inside.
[57:57.280 -> 58:01.300] Imagine Dan to be the first person to get a call from HR when he's not even
[58:01.300 -> 58:02.560] employed by the company.
[58:02.980 -> 58:03.680] Exactly.
[58:04.280 -> 58:07.280] I'm just waiting for my season to see.
[58:07.280 -> 58:08.280] Oh my goodness.
[58:08.280 -> 58:09.280] Oh my goodness.
[58:09.280 -> 58:13.000] So yeah, expecting a one stop with low deg.
[58:13.000 -> 58:14.600] I hope it doesn't mean what I think it means.
[58:14.600 -> 58:18.800] Now here's something I heard a lot of people saying on the Twitter nets from the experts
[58:18.800 -> 58:22.680] and I was like, that's interesting and it does have a little bit of meat to it, but
[58:22.680 -> 58:25.520] people were saying, because now there's
[58:25.520 -> 58:30.640] apparently the, is it Gary Anderson or somebody else has coined Red Bull's super effective
[58:30.640 -> 58:32.680] top speed, the triple DRS.
[58:32.680 -> 58:38.560] Yeah, I saw it and like the majority of things on Twitter, I just decided that this is bollocks
[58:38.560 -> 58:40.160] and I will ignore it.
[58:40.160 -> 58:51.520] This ain't the one mate, ain't no way. But I'm not sure how a rear diffuser has can be a part of DRS, but sure, whatever.
[58:51.520 -> 58:55.720] There's aero people out there that probably know more than me, so go for it.
[58:55.720 -> 59:01.040] Yeah, but I don't know the answer to this, but looking at the data, it wasn't too dissimilar
[59:01.040 -> 59:04.520] to what Ferrari had a couple of years ago when they were the super slippy car, but I
[59:04.520 -> 59:07.900] think the Red Bull is just a pretty efficient car, but they do have a
[59:07.900 -> 59:09.720] reasonably powerful DRS.
[59:09.720 -> 59:14.040] Now the DRS effect does vary from wing level to wing level, so it's not always the same
[59:14.040 -> 59:16.600] amount.
[59:16.600 -> 59:20.080] But you know, people like Red Bull are going to have a huge advantage in the race because
[59:20.080 -> 59:21.920] of their super powerful DRS.
[59:21.920 -> 59:25.920] And then my first response to that is advantage locked in for years. No, who the fuck are Red Bull going to have the DRS. And then my first response to that is. Advantage locked in for years.
[59:26.720 -> 59:30.800] No, who the fuck are Red Bull going to have the DRS on? They're going to be 20 seconds in front
[59:30.800 -> 59:34.560] of everybody. You can't really get it DRS off of each other and just, oh, let's swap.
[59:34.560 -> 59:37.040] Yeah. Yeah. Synchronized slip streams.
[59:38.160 -> 59:44.880] I don't, I don't see it, but the DRS will be a effect which teams will be using to affect the
[59:44.880 -> 59:45.800] pecking order and qualify
[59:45.800 -> 59:48.000] like to for performance point of view, but it's not like.
[59:48.000 -> 59:50.000] They just have an efficient car.
[59:50.000 -> 59:51.800] I think that's as simple as it.
[59:51.800 -> 59:55.840] I don't see the Red Bull particularly unless one of them is out of position or coming through
[59:55.840 -> 59:56.840] traffic.
[59:56.840 -> 01:00:00.400] I don't see the Red Bull and DRS factoring as a.
[01:00:00.400 -> 01:00:02.560] A differentiator.
[01:00:02.560 -> 01:00:04.120] The old shake and bake technique.
[01:00:04.120 -> 01:00:08.160] Yeah, when they when they upshifted to ninth gear, nobody finds
[01:00:08.160 -> 01:00:09.200] a nice gear this weekend.
[01:00:09.240 -> 01:00:10.160] The slush box.
[01:00:10.160 -> 01:00:13.600] We're going to have a Hubert on the pit wall trying to explain to
[01:00:13.600 -> 01:00:16.440] checko what shake and bake is as he's going down the straight.
[01:00:18.240 -> 01:00:21.920] I remember a story from a couple of years ago and I wasn't there, but,
[01:00:21.920 -> 01:00:24.000] um, it was, it was a huge story.
[01:00:24.560 -> 01:00:29.180] And, uh, huge performance engineer on Max's car at this point in time.
[01:00:29.180 -> 01:00:32.260] And he asked one of the Honda engineers, he's like, I can't remember what the
[01:00:32.260 -> 01:00:35.520] guy's name is, but he's a Japanese engineer and he said, uh, can we have a
[01:00:35.520 -> 01:00:37.640] couple more laps of fuel beans, full beans?
[01:00:37.640 -> 01:00:41.120] And the guy goes, I'm sorry, Hugh, what is full beans?
[01:00:41.800 -> 01:00:45.200] Cause they obviously didn't get the connection to the, uh, it doesn't make any sense. Like full beans? Because they obviously didn't get the connection to the,
[01:00:52.480 -> 01:00:59.200] it doesn't make any sense. Like full beans. Yeah. Okay. Um, I'm translating that from English to Japanese. All of the beans, like what we're talking about race cars, not edible things.
[01:00:59.200 -> 01:01:07.760] There's a lot of really, uh, good sayings in the paddock that don't really translate well outside the paddock.
[01:01:07.760 -> 01:01:08.760] My favorite is P0.
[01:01:08.760 -> 01:01:14.920] So P0, like when you, P1 is when the electronics are on in a car.
[01:01:14.920 -> 01:01:18.240] P2 is when you're like starting it or it's running.
[01:01:18.240 -> 01:01:21.440] Then P0 is like where everything's off, power, everything.
[01:01:21.440 -> 01:01:25.840] And if you've gone out drinking a little bit too heavy the night before,
[01:01:26.440 -> 01:01:28.720] and you come in the garage the next morning and someone looks at you and
[01:01:28.720 -> 01:01:29.920] goes, you know, you're right.
[01:01:29.920 -> 01:01:31.520] You just say, no, my I'm P zero.
[01:01:32.480 -> 01:01:32.760] Yeah.
[01:01:32.800 -> 01:01:35.080] Just basically the lights are off.
[01:01:35.200 -> 01:01:35.440] Yeah.
[01:01:35.440 -> 01:01:36.120] But he's home.
[01:01:36.160 -> 01:01:37.600] They pull nothing.
[01:01:38.160 -> 01:01:39.240] Oh my God.
[01:01:39.360 -> 01:01:41.120] Oh yeah.
[01:01:41.160 -> 01:01:44.840] But, um, that's that, you know what time it is, dude.
[01:01:45.000 -> 01:01:47.400] What time is it?
[01:01:47.400 -> 01:01:49.400] I think it's time for.
[01:01:49.400 -> 01:01:53.400] Is it random fandom?
[01:01:53.400 -> 01:02:03.760] Oh, that we need to add up.
[01:02:03.760 -> 01:02:05.840] We need to add an applause track at the end as well.
[01:02:05.840 -> 01:02:06.200] Shit.
[01:02:06.200 -> 01:02:06.400] Yeah.
[01:02:06.400 -> 01:02:06.640] Yeah.
[01:02:06.640 -> 01:02:06.800] Yeah.
[01:02:06.800 -> 01:02:07.440] For next week.
[01:02:07.440 -> 01:02:08.520] That was pretty good though.
[01:02:08.520 -> 01:02:11.600] It will evolve as the year progresses.
[01:02:11.880 -> 01:02:12.840] These are getting better and better.
[01:02:12.840 -> 01:02:17.400] So Dan has just jazzed up the random fandom soundbite and it's
[01:02:17.400 -> 01:02:18.480] getting better and better.
[01:02:18.720 -> 01:02:20.000] That's an absolute bop.
[01:02:20.000 -> 01:02:24.200] We need, if we have any producers, can we get somebody to do an edit to
[01:02:24.200 -> 01:02:26.300] that, like some sick beat.
[01:02:26.560 -> 01:02:27.100] That'd be awesome.
[01:02:27.100 -> 01:02:30.360] But anyway, um, tell, tell everybody about random fandom.
[01:02:30.360 -> 01:02:32.460] Cause this is, this is your, this is your baby.
[01:02:32.460 -> 01:02:32.860] Yeah.
[01:02:33.460 -> 01:02:34.980] Uh, to spice it up a little bit.
[01:02:35.120 -> 01:02:40.320] Um, I thought, uh, for every race weekend, we're going to spin a magic wheel, which
[01:02:40.320 -> 01:02:43.900] we are now into race free and the magic wheel still hasn't actually arrived yet.
[01:02:43.900 -> 01:02:45.400] So, uh, we're doing it virtually.
[01:02:45.960 -> 01:02:50.960] Um, but we get a team selected at random, right.
[01:02:51.340 -> 01:02:55.480] And we have to do like a little book report on them in our post race review.
[01:02:56.840 -> 01:03:02.980] Um, and, and to, you know, to, to, to, to defeat the accusations of bias, uh, we
[01:03:02.980 -> 01:03:06.120] take away Red Bull and Alpha T towering out of the draw.
[01:03:06.120 -> 01:03:07.120] So…
[01:03:07.120 -> 01:03:08.600] Oh, we have removed them.
[01:03:08.600 -> 01:03:09.600] Yeah.
[01:03:09.600 -> 01:03:10.600] Oh, did you not know that?
[01:03:10.600 -> 01:03:11.600] Okay.
[01:03:11.600 -> 01:03:12.600] Okay.
[01:03:12.600 -> 01:03:13.600] They're never in the draw, right?
[01:03:13.600 -> 01:03:18.880] Just to spice it up because, you know, we need to, you know, appeal to everyone.
[01:03:18.880 -> 01:03:22.880] So yeah, so there you go.
[01:03:22.880 -> 01:03:24.200] Who would you like to spin first?
[01:03:24.200 -> 01:03:26.400] Do you want to spin for you or do you want to spin for me?
[01:03:27.500 -> 01:03:29.040] You can spin me first this weekend.
[01:03:29.080 -> 01:03:30.600] I'll spin you baby.
[01:03:46.900 -> 01:03:50.840] Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do You got my last week, that's the mine. I could do with that. I'm looking forward to Acid Martin having a pretty strong Melbourne.
[01:03:50.840 -> 01:03:54.240] I'm not sure if it'll be as strong as the last two, but we wait and see.
[01:03:54.240 -> 01:03:55.840] It'll be interesting to see, won't it?
[01:03:55.840 -> 01:03:56.840] What about me?
[01:03:56.840 -> 01:03:57.840] Who have I got?
[01:03:57.840 -> 01:03:58.840] Spin it!
[01:03:58.840 -> 01:03:59.840] Spin it baby!
[01:03:59.840 -> 01:04:00.840] That's Mario.
[01:04:00.840 -> 01:04:01.840] Shit.
[01:04:01.840 -> 01:04:02.840] Ah, close enough.
[01:04:02.840 -> 01:04:03.840] I have got Alpine.
[01:04:03.840 -> 01:04:07.280] Alpine.
[01:04:09.080 -> 01:04:10.280] El plan.
[01:04:12.560 -> 01:04:13.880] Are they going to stop sandbagging it?
[01:04:13.880 -> 01:04:14.400] You reckon?
[01:04:15.000 -> 01:04:16.160] Now I've got them, yeah.
[01:04:17.200 -> 01:04:24.720] OK, I'm going to send a message to my like, listen, Omar, you fucking prick.
[01:04:25.460 -> 01:04:25.820] Right. Like, listen, Potmar, you fucking prick. Right?
[01:04:27.240 -> 01:04:28.840] Turn the engine up to 11.
[01:04:30.980 -> 01:04:35.120] You fucking, I know where you live and I do know where he lives actually.
[01:04:35.760 -> 01:04:36.360] So there you go.
[01:04:36.640 -> 01:04:38.320] I'm going to go around there and egg his house.
[01:04:39.560 -> 01:04:40.600] I'm going to do a Lawn-E.
[01:04:42.840 -> 01:04:47.640] Matt, I'm sure he's, I'm pretty sure the new gaffs and like some gated unit.
[01:04:48.280 -> 01:04:49.280] Maybe like on a-
[01:04:49.280 -> 01:04:53.280] Adam, so gates are merely an obstacle for a 4x4.
[01:04:53.280 -> 01:04:54.200] Adam, yeah, exactly.
[01:04:54.640 -> 01:04:55.920] Send it Barry!
[01:04:56.200 -> 01:04:57.200] Ramming speed.
[01:04:58.200 -> 01:04:59.960] Hit him with the lawny.
[01:05:01.120 -> 01:05:02.040] Oh, mate.
[01:05:02.080 -> 01:05:07.560] Imagine, I wonder if we can get somebody to do into a vote and if they lose the vote,
[01:05:07.560 -> 01:05:12.800] we can Lonnie on their property without a legal action.
[01:05:12.800 -> 01:05:17.680] Well, you think someone is willingly going to allow us to do a lawn?
[01:05:17.680 -> 01:05:19.320] If they lose a strong bet.
[01:05:19.320 -> 01:05:20.320] Yeah.
[01:05:20.320 -> 01:05:21.320] I don't see it.
[01:05:21.320 -> 01:05:29.000] I'm trying to think where's the best place to do a lawny. I know Christian and Adrian have got gates, which is a shame.
[01:05:29.000 -> 01:05:33.000] Adrian's got a lovely garden.
[01:05:33.000 -> 01:05:34.000] That would do some wicked.
[01:05:34.000 -> 01:05:36.000] You could do some wicked lawnies in that.
[01:05:36.000 -> 01:05:38.000] And he's got an RV7 in his garage, isn't he?
[01:05:38.000 -> 01:05:39.000] Yeah.
[01:05:39.000 -> 01:05:42.000] You reckon we could break in there, get the RV7 and do a lawny in that?
[01:05:42.000 -> 01:05:45.560] Yeah, I don't see that
[01:05:45.560 -> 01:05:49.960] happening, but, um, yeah, there you go.
[01:05:50.060 -> 01:05:50.440] Anyway.
[01:05:51.240 -> 01:05:54.560] So that is the Australian grand prix preview.
[01:05:54.560 -> 01:05:58.640] We'll have another episode on Monday next week, a day, a
[01:05:58.640 -> 01:05:59.320] week from today.
[01:05:59.520 -> 01:06:01.360] Um, but also I don't know if you're doing any
[01:06:01.360 -> 01:06:03.160] streaming this weekend, but I'm going to be streaming,
[01:06:03.200 -> 01:06:05.800] uh, Friday UK afternoon.
[01:06:05.800 -> 01:06:09.740] I'll do an FP one FP two analysis, quick stream, maybe like, it'll be like a 30
[01:06:09.740 -> 01:06:13.420] minute breakdown of what happened at FQ one FB two and it's Friday.
[01:06:13.420 -> 01:06:17.560] I might play some Tarkov or play some, uh, Euro truck simulator and smash
[01:06:17.560 -> 01:06:19.460] a couple of beers or some F1 who knows.
[01:06:19.520 -> 01:06:19.920] Okay.
[01:06:19.920 -> 01:06:24.120] If maybe we'll do like a dual, a dual Euro truck simulator, beer and truck.
[01:06:25.680 -> 01:06:26.760] Yeah, I got a trucker cap.
[01:06:26.800 -> 01:06:30.040] I got a Red Bull one and I got a one from one of my favorite breweries, brother.
[01:06:30.400 -> 01:06:31.400] I'm going to drive fast.
[01:06:31.400 -> 01:06:36.240] A hundred, a hundred kilometers an hour, 12 speed hyperglide transmission,
[01:06:36.240 -> 01:06:38.400] virtual wheeler, Lawney.
[01:06:39.200 -> 01:06:39.640] Yeah, bro.
[01:06:39.720 -> 01:06:40.240] We're doing it.
[01:06:40.320 -> 01:06:43.240] Um, qualifying I'll be, I'm getting up early.
[01:06:43.560 -> 01:06:50.280] I'm going to be live an hour before qualifying and an hour before the race on Saturday and Sunday. Um, and then everything
[01:06:50.280 -> 01:06:53.320] else, if you miss any of that stuff, it's going to be on break live on YouTube. So that's
[01:06:53.320 -> 01:06:57.520] my new second channel where all the like live stream stuff ends up. So it's not on the main
[01:06:57.520 -> 01:07:03.200] channel. So break on YouTube, break live on YouTube and then engine mode 11 on YouTube.
[01:07:03.200 -> 01:07:05.600] Dan's getting back into it. I can feel it. I can feel it.
[01:07:05.680 -> 01:07:06.180] He's coming.
[01:07:06.420 -> 01:07:07.720] He's coming content, man.
[01:07:07.840 -> 01:07:08.340] Yeah.
[01:07:08.360 -> 01:07:08.580] Yeah.
[01:07:08.580 -> 01:07:13.740] I might do, um, maybe we'll do some like open lobbies on F1, 2022 at
[01:07:13.740 -> 01:07:15.280] Melbourne, just to get us in the spirit.
[01:07:16.240 -> 01:07:17.040] On the old Twitch stream.
[01:07:17.280 -> 01:07:17.560] Yeah.
[01:07:17.600 -> 01:07:18.240] On Twitch.
[01:07:18.240 -> 01:07:19.660] So it's cross play now.
[01:07:19.660 -> 01:07:23.260] So if you've got F1, 2022, whatever's going on down, I mean, I don't know what
[01:07:23.260 -> 01:07:23.520] that is.
[01:07:23.840 -> 01:07:25.080] Did you get a load of that in your ear?
[01:07:26.240 -> 01:07:27.240] Some, I heard something.
[01:07:27.240 -> 01:07:27.400] Yeah.
[01:07:27.400 -> 01:07:29.280] So I just started playing in the background on my computer.
[01:07:29.280 -> 01:07:29.680] There you go.
[01:07:30.120 -> 01:07:31.040] Um, what's the saying?
[01:07:31.040 -> 01:07:31.320] Yes.
[01:07:31.360 -> 01:07:34.360] F1 2022, uh, it's cross play.
[01:07:34.360 -> 01:07:37.640] So it doesn't matter if you've got it on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, whatever.
[01:07:37.640 -> 01:07:39.400] We might do some open lobbies.
[01:07:40.120 -> 01:07:44.880] Um, we did some of them the other day at Sandfort and it was fucking chaos.
[01:07:45.880 -> 01:07:46.880] Um, so yeah, rock and roll. We did some of them the other day at Sandfort and it was fucking chaos. So yeah. Stephen Kinsley 19.
[01:07:46.880 -> 01:07:47.880] Rock and roll.
[01:07:47.880 -> 01:07:52.160] And we asked the Twitter Q&A for something and nobody really came back to us.
[01:07:52.160 -> 01:07:56.880] So we'll get back to you guys next week, maybe with a little Q&A after the Australian Grand
[01:07:56.880 -> 01:07:57.880] Prix.
[01:07:57.880 -> 01:07:58.880] You got anything else tonight, brother?
[01:07:58.880 -> 01:08:04.600] No, I just want to say Haru, apparently that's Australian for cheerio.
[01:08:04.600 -> 01:08:05.200] Nice. Big up, Steve that's Australian for cheerio.
[01:08:05.960 -> 01:08:06.920] Nice.
[01:08:08.120 -> 01:08:08.280] Big up Steve Irwin.
[01:08:10.480 -> 01:08:11.120] You are missed dearly.
[01:08:14.320 -> 01:08:16.040] Um, local butcher. I'm going to go to my local butcher tomorrow and get a beef
[01:08:16.040 -> 01:08:17.560] rib, which I'm going to cook on Thursday.
[01:08:17.680 -> 01:08:18.680] On that barbie.
[01:08:19.320 -> 01:08:19.880] Yes, brother.
[01:08:20.040 -> 01:08:23.600] Do a lawny to your most hated enemy.
[01:08:24.800 -> 01:08:25.880] You've got my permission.
[01:08:28.580 -> 01:08:28.960] Yeah.
[01:08:29.080 -> 01:08:29.680] So there you go.
[01:08:30.640 -> 01:08:30.960] Fuck off.
[01:08:30.960 -> 01:08:31.240] All right.
[01:08:32.240 -> 01:08:32.840] Have a good one.
[01:08:32.840 -> 01:08:33.440] We'll see you later.
