* The Australian Grand Prix was a chaotic race with three red flags, numerous incidents, and controversial decisions.
* Max Verstappen dominated the race, winning by over 20 seconds.
* Sergio Perez had a poor start and was forced to pit early, dropping him to the back of the field.
* Charles Leclerc crashed out on lap one after being sandwiched between Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll.

* Kevin Magnussen crashed heavily on lap 53, causing the second red flag.
* A multi-car collision on the restart after the second red flag led to the third red flag.
* The race was eventually restarted with one lap remaining, and Verstappen cruised to victory.
* **Red Flag Controversies:**
* There was controversy surrounding the decision to red flag the race after Albon's crash. Some felt that it was unnecessary, as the gravel could have been cleared under a safety car.
* The decision to restart the race after the second red flag was also controversial. Many felt that the track was too dangerous to race on, given the amount of debris and damage.
* **Race Order Controversy:**
* After the third red flag, the race order was reset to the order of the previous restart. This meant that Nico Hulkenberg, who had been running in fourth place, was dropped to ninth.
* Hulkenberg and his team were unhappy with this decision, as they felt that he had earned his position on the track.
* **Other Notable Moments:**
* Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon collided on the first lap, causing both cars to retire.
* Yuki Tsunoda had a strong race, finishing in seventh place.
* Valtteri Bottas also had a good race, finishing in eighth place.
* Lewis Hamilton struggled throughout the race, finishing in 14th place.
* **Overall:**
* The Australian Grand Prix was a wild and unpredictable race that will be remembered for its numerous incidents and controversies. * **Race Restarts:**
* Standing restarts are preferred for red flag situations, while rolling restarts are typically used for safety car periods.
* Standing restarts create more excitement and anticipation, while rolling restarts are generally safer.
* There were four standing restarts in the Australian Grand Prix due to numerous red flag stoppages.
* **Red Flag Controversies:**
* There were three red flag periods during the race, leading to confusion and criticism of the race direction's decisions.
* The first red flag was deemed necessary due to debris on the track, but some felt it could have been handled under a safety car.
* The second red flag was caused by a crash involving Nicholas Latifi and Fernando Alonso, with many questioning whether it warranted a full stoppage.
* The third red flag was the most controversial, as it occurred on the final lap after Sergio Perez and George Russell collided. The race was ultimately ended under a safety car, leading to debate over whether the red flag should have been deployed.
* **Carlos Sainz Penalty:**
* Sainz received a five-second penalty for a collision with Alonso at the start of the race.
* The penalty dropped Sainz from P4 to P12, causing frustration for the Spaniard and his team.
* Some felt the penalty was too harsh, especially considering it occurred on the opening lap.
* **Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly Incident:**
* Ocon and Gasly collided during the race, with Gasly receiving a penalty for causing the incident.
* Many felt that Gasly's penalty was justified, as he was deemed to be at fault for the collision.
* However, some also questioned why Sainz was penalized for a similar incident, while Gasly received a lighter penalty.
* **Sergio Perez's Recovery Drive:**
* Perez started the race from the back of the grid due to a penalty, but managed to recover to finish in P5.
* Perez's performance was praised by many, who highlighted his overtaking skills and racecraft.
* The Mexican driver's recovery drive was seen as a positive sign for Red Bull, who are aiming to challenge Ferrari for the championship this season.
* **McLaren's Strong Performance:**
* McLaren had a strong race, with Lando Norris finishing in P4 and Oscar Piastri finishing in P9.
* The team's performance was seen as a positive step forward, especially after a difficult start to the season.
* McLaren are now hoping to build on their momentum and challenge for podium finishes in the upcoming races.
* **Alpine's Internal Rivalry:**
* The race saw a collision between Alpine teammates Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso.
* The incident highlighted the strained relationship between the two drivers, who have a history of clashes on and off the track.
* The collision could have implications for Alpine's team dynamics and their ability to challenge for the constructors' championship.
* **Haas' Protest:**
* Haas protested the race restart procedure after the third red flag, claiming that the grid should have been determined by the positions of the cars at the safety car line, rather than reverting to the original starting order.
* The FIA rejected Haas' protest, stating that it was not possible to determine the positions of the cars clearly from the available data.
* The decision was met with mixed reactions, with some agreeing with the FIA's ruling and others feeling that Haas had a valid point. # **Engine Mode: Australian Grand Prix Review**

[00:00.000 -> 00:09.000] You're listening to the most fraudulent F1 podcast with Dan, aka EngineNord11.
[00:09.000 -> 00:12.360] I secretly moonlight as hell with Marco at race weekends.
[00:12.360 -> 00:14.400] And Blake, aka Break.
[00:14.400 -> 00:17.560] Echo chambers of farts and idiots on Twitter after races.
[00:17.560 -> 00:21.000] It's the engine breaking F1 podcast.
[00:21.000 -> 00:22.400] Boom!
[00:22.400 -> 00:25.120] Get it up.
[00:25.120 -> 00:25.320] Yeah.
[00:25.320 -> 00:25.960] Good day.
[00:27.000 -> 00:28.360] And all that jazz.
[00:28.640 -> 00:32.960] Uh, welcome to the engine breaking podcast where we are going to attempt.
[00:33.560 -> 00:38.560] To make a non chaotic podcast out of the most chaotic race we've had so far.
[00:39.360 -> 00:40.400] Uh, wish us luck on that.
[00:40.400 -> 00:43.240] So I am Dan, AKA engine mode 11.
[00:43.600 -> 00:48.240] And with me is my good internet husband, Blake, AKA break.
[00:49.600 -> 00:53.360] And, uh, yeah, no, thanks for being here. And, uh, I just wanted to big up everyone,
[00:53.360 -> 01:00.800] give yourselves a little quick, uh, we reached 5k on YouTube and we've, uh, reached a milestone of
[01:00.800 -> 01:05.580] 60,000 total download episodes,
[01:07.100 -> 01:09.120] episode downloads, wherever I, you know, what I meant is download episodes.
[01:09.760 -> 01:11.260] What's the download.
[01:11.540 -> 01:13.620] Is that on audio or audio plus YouTube?
[01:14.180 -> 01:15.020] That's audio only.
[01:15.020 -> 01:16.920] That's not even taken into account the YouTube.
[01:17.380 -> 01:18.020] Oh my God.
[01:18.020 -> 01:19.220] Can we get another big toot toot?
[01:19.220 -> 01:21.620] Cause the YouTube's doing some numbers.
[01:22.080 -> 01:22.420] Yeah.
[01:22.540 -> 01:25.120] Thank you guys for all the love and thank you for sharing it with your
[01:25.120 -> 01:29.200] friends and your grandparents. Because I know that they're going to love the two. We might even have
[01:29.200 -> 01:33.760] to bring back the horn because that really identifies with the 65 to 85 crown. Clearly.
[01:37.520 -> 01:40.160] What was the result of the poll the other week? Because we stopped the air horn because a lot of
[01:40.160 -> 01:44.800] you were like that air horn is really obnoxious and some people were like I want it back. I don't
[01:44.800 -> 01:48.000] know what the result was but I can't bring it back because I thought
[01:48.000 -> 01:50.480] unfortunately the button has been overridden.
[01:51.200 -> 01:53.920] It's still got I still got that on it.
[01:53.920 -> 01:55.800] So I love that.
[01:55.840 -> 01:58.800] I'm not really sure if that will come into play this episode, but yeah,
[01:59.040 -> 01:59.800] I think it can.
[01:59.800 -> 02:00.320] I think it can.
[02:00.320 -> 02:02.120] So what to expect from this episode?
[02:02.120 -> 02:07.540] There's been a couple of things since the last week, since we did our preview episode for Melbourne,
[02:07.540 -> 02:09.020] a couple of news events,
[02:09.020 -> 02:10.980] then we'll get into the Australian Grand Prix review.
[02:10.980 -> 02:13.200] We'll look through the entire weekend.
[02:13.200 -> 02:14.260] We'll tell you what happened.
[02:14.260 -> 02:15.540] And if there's any interesting stories,
[02:15.540 -> 02:17.920] we'll give you some of our expert insight
[02:17.920 -> 02:19.900] into what this actually means.
[02:19.900 -> 02:22.640] Because honestly, there was a lot going on
[02:22.640 -> 02:25.040] from all sorts of aspects from this week.
[02:25.040 -> 02:26.480] And so we'll try to break some of that down.
[02:27.520 -> 02:29.360] Dan and I are very well placed to do that.
[02:29.360 -> 02:30.720] So that should work out pretty well.
[02:30.720 -> 02:33.520] Then we'll get into some of our fun segments, the Fraud Watch.
[02:34.560 -> 02:37.920] I mean, if you're watching this in live stream, just tell me who you think is on Fraud Watch.
[02:37.920 -> 02:41.840] This week, we've got Injumo Good Boy, which is where we gaslight the shit out of somebody.
[02:41.840 -> 02:42.240] Not really.
[02:42.240 -> 02:45.280] That's where we pick up somebody who's done a spectacular job.
[02:45.280 -> 02:47.800] And then because we get accused of being biased so often,
[02:47.800 -> 02:50.240] Dan, for audio listeners, is definitely not wearing
[02:50.240 -> 02:54.040] a Red Bull Team Top official kit, not not replica.
[02:54.520 -> 02:56.160] We get accused of being biased sometimes.
[02:56.160 -> 02:58.600] So we focus each week on a new team.
[03:00.120 -> 03:03.040] And we try to give them a review.
[03:03.080 -> 03:06.480] Yeah, we try to pick them up, you know, but we're honest with them. We're not going to big them up, but we're honest with them.
[03:06.480 -> 03:11.360] We're not gonna not so them and just tell them it's fine.
[03:11.360 -> 03:13.720] We're gonna vassal them, we're gonna be honest.
[03:13.720 -> 03:16.020] We're gonna call out the BS.
[03:16.020 -> 03:18.160] And then, unfortunately, I think we're gonna take
[03:18.160 -> 03:20.740] next week off, but after next week,
[03:20.740 -> 03:22.500] we're gonna be getting some guests back in.
[03:22.500 -> 03:24.760] I've talked to a couple of people.
[03:24.760 -> 03:27.200] We might get some of the people you've already seen in our show before.
[03:27.200 -> 03:28.320] We might get some new people.
[03:28.320 -> 03:33.420] So if you're listening to this, leave us a comment section or tag us on Twitter in this
[03:33.420 -> 03:37.780] post and let us know who you'd like to see on the podcast over the little break before
[03:37.780 -> 03:40.680] we get to well done back home.
[03:40.680 -> 03:42.040] Yeah, I tried to.
[03:42.040 -> 03:45.680] I tried to reach out to Paul Diresta and he said no. OK, I have. I can call him if you want. Yeah, I tried to, I tried to reach out to Paul Diresta and he said, no.
[03:46.540 -> 03:46.900] Okay.
[03:47.080 -> 03:48.800] I have, I can call him if you want.
[03:48.880 -> 03:49.160] Yeah.
[03:49.160 -> 03:49.480] Yeah.
[03:49.640 -> 03:50.000] Okay.
[03:50.040 -> 03:50.280] Okay.
[03:50.480 -> 03:50.880] I'll call him.
[03:54.480 -> 03:56.180] So what are we, what's up with the news?
[03:56.180 -> 03:56.680] Talk to me.
[03:57.240 -> 03:59.640] Oh, well, guess what?
[04:00.600 -> 04:05.920] You know, no, well, you know how last episode we slagged off sprint, well I don't know,
[04:05.920 -> 04:09.200] maybe I slagged them off, I don't know if you did, sprint races.
[04:09.200 -> 04:10.200] Yeah.
[04:10.200 -> 04:16.560] They've decided to obviously listen to the podcast, so thank you FIA, big up.
[04:16.560 -> 04:22.760] And all the teams have agreed now to change the format to Friday you'll have P1 and qualifying
[04:22.760 -> 04:24.560] for the race on Sunday.
[04:24.560 -> 04:25.000] Okay. to Friday, you'll have P1 and qualifying for the race on Sunday.
[04:25.360 -> 04:25.440] Okay.
[04:29.920 -> 04:32.040] Saturday is going to have qualifying for the sprint race and then the sprint race, and then Sunday is the race.
[04:32.760 -> 04:33.160] Beautiful.
[04:33.160 -> 04:34.080] What do you think about that?
[04:34.400 -> 04:37.440] Cause you, you're not a big fan of sprint races or the current format.
[04:37.440 -> 04:42.360] No, I prefer the format they have suggested over the current weirdness.
[04:42.800 -> 04:45.960] If they're going to have a sprint race, this sounds better because you don't have,
[04:45.960 -> 04:48.960] I personally don't like reverse grids
[04:48.960 -> 04:50.240] and I don't see the point of,
[04:50.240 -> 04:52.000] because the way the sprint format works now
[04:52.000 -> 04:54.480] is you get one practice session
[04:54.480 -> 04:56.600] and then your car is basically in park for a minute
[04:56.600 -> 04:57.760] as soon as you're out from qualifying.
[04:57.760 -> 04:59.200] And then you get to do a FP3 session
[04:59.200 -> 05:00.400] where you get to do some laps and be like,
[05:00.400 -> 05:01.800] ha ha, this is nice.
[05:01.800 -> 05:02.640] This is our car.
[05:02.640 -> 05:04.880] We can't change anything, even if it's crap.
[05:04.880 -> 05:07.300] What this will probably still be is Friday P1.
[05:07.600 -> 05:10.300] Then you go into the Grand Prix qualifying and you will probably put
[05:10.300 -> 05:11.200] your car in a park for a minute.
[05:11.200 -> 05:12.400] Then you can't change anything.
[05:12.400 -> 05:12.900] But.
[05:13.800 -> 05:19.000] That the problem with the existing sprint race format is the sprint race.
[05:19.100 -> 05:22.800] Just kind of like if you have any chaos in qualifying, everybody just
[05:22.800 -> 05:24.400] gets back in pace order at the end of the sprint.
[05:24.800 -> 05:26.080] Yes. Yeah. Yes.
[05:26.080 -> 05:28.240] Yeah, yeah, that was my issue with it.
[05:28.240 -> 05:31.360] And this, you could have two completely
[05:31.360 -> 05:34.000] different qualifying grids with the exact same car.
[05:34.000 -> 05:36.400] You can have different qualifying conditions on Friday
[05:36.400 -> 05:39.040] versus Saturday for the sprint or the Grand Prix.
[05:39.040 -> 05:40.360] I think this is interesting.
[05:40.360 -> 05:41.980] If they wanna have sprints
[05:41.980 -> 05:43.040] and they wanna have something happening
[05:43.040 -> 05:44.260] every day of the weekend,
[05:44.260 -> 05:46.000] that's decisive Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
[05:46.000 -> 05:50.000] this is the least worst thing that I've seen so far.
[05:50.000 -> 05:54.000] And me, not hating sprint races,
[05:54.000 -> 05:57.000] I actually really like this and I think it's great.
[05:57.000 -> 05:59.000] Yeah, agreed. I'm on board.
[05:59.000 -> 06:02.000] But would you, would you, okay, okay now, would you say...
[06:02.000 -> 06:04.000] Sorry, was that not controversial enough?
[06:04.000 -> 06:05.320] Do you need me to be controversial? No, it's not that. That's fine, because you, okay. Okay. Now, would you say- Sorry, was that not controversial enough? Do you need me to be controversial?
[06:05.400 -> 06:06.660] No, it's not that, that's fine.
[06:06.660 -> 06:07.480] Cause that's how you feel.
[06:07.480 -> 06:10.800] And I honestly, the only thing I care about is how you feel right now.
[06:10.880 -> 06:12.000] I don't feel anything Blake.
[06:12.600 -> 06:13.040] Me neither.
[06:13.080 -> 06:13.960] I'm dead inside.
[06:17.080 -> 06:17.720] Big toot toot.
[06:17.720 -> 06:20.640] If you, and if you, um, if you're listening to this podcast on your commute to work,
[06:20.680 -> 06:24.280] if you can do like a little quiet toot or just roll down your window and ask the
[06:24.280 -> 06:27.800] person next to you to stop light, if they listen to the engine breaking podcast and
[06:27.800 -> 06:29.280] tell them where they can find us.
[06:29.280 -> 06:30.800] Yep, we'd really appreciate that.
[06:30.800 -> 06:35.320] If anybody sends a video of them doing that to a random stranger.
[06:35.320 -> 06:39.200] Respectfully and politely and without being a nuisance.
[06:39.200 -> 06:42.240] Ultimate gas for that.
[06:42.240 -> 06:45.220] But if you could have your way, would you get rid of sprint races?
[06:45.720 -> 06:45.780] All together?
[06:48.980 -> 06:49.820] Um, probably.
[06:50.100 -> 06:50.140] Yeah.
[06:53.080 -> 06:53.620] But that's just because I'm an old angry man and I don't like change.
[06:53.980 -> 06:54.260] Hmm.
[06:54.700 -> 06:55.380] That's true.
[07:00.380 -> 07:02.260] But you know, all these kids with their tiki talks and Instagrams and my spaces, they want the sprint races.
[07:02.260 -> 07:06.600] So, yeah, I I'd keep them.
[07:06.820 -> 07:07.300] I like them.
[07:07.300 -> 07:10.620] I don't, I don't think we need six of them, but I like changing it up.
[07:10.620 -> 07:12.180] It keeps the engineers on their feet.
[07:12.300 -> 07:15.240] Um, and they don't get to get complacent and they can't just rock up and.
[07:15.820 -> 07:17.240] Spend all three practice sessions.
[07:17.240 -> 07:20.000] Just like, Oh my God, I'm just going to change the rear anti roll bar a little
[07:20.000 -> 07:20.180] bit.
[07:20.220 -> 07:20.900] Oh my God.
[07:21.280 -> 07:21.700] Oh my God.
[07:21.700 -> 07:22.860] Max, how's the balance now?
[07:22.860 -> 07:23.620] This is GP.
[07:23.740 -> 07:24.300] I'm just kidding.
[07:24.460 -> 07:24.660] Sorry.
[07:24.660 -> 07:24.780] Right.
[07:24.780 -> 07:25.000] Yeah, that's, that's exactly how he sounded. Oh my God. Max, how's the balance now? This is GP. I'm just kidding.
[07:25.000 -> 07:26.000] Sorry.
[07:26.000 -> 07:27.000] That's exactly how he sounded.
[07:27.000 -> 07:28.000] Yeah.
[07:28.000 -> 07:29.000] Yeah.
[07:29.000 -> 07:30.000] I don't think so.
[07:30.000 -> 07:34.000] GP is a lot more calm than that, but, um, what else we got?
[07:34.000 -> 07:38.440] Ah, so did you see that the alpha or male this weekend looks slightly different?
[07:38.440 -> 07:39.440] Did you notice anything?
[07:39.440 -> 07:40.440] I did.
[07:40.440 -> 07:41.760] Was it an upgrade or downgrade?
[07:41.760 -> 07:49.600] Uh, it depends who you're asking. If you're asking a stakes legal team, um, then it was probably a downgrade.
[07:50.160 -> 07:50.440] Yeah.
[07:50.520 -> 07:56.320] Um, but stake got removed off the alpha Romeo, uh, title sponsor.
[07:56.360 -> 07:56.820] Yes.
[07:56.860 -> 07:58.640] It got changed to kick.
[07:59.360 -> 08:04.120] Uh, which makes sense because what a way I understand it is that you can't
[08:04.120 -> 08:05.040] advertise gambling
[08:05.040 -> 08:10.680] in Australia, which there's a beautiful irony to that because Stake is
[08:10.680 -> 08:16.080] headquartered in Australia but they have a, I can't remember, some Caribbean Island
[08:16.080 -> 08:20.720] gambling license which is how they get around that. Yeah exactly, that's
[08:20.720 -> 08:25.400] Stake classy. But yeah so their their new sponsor is kick who is also.
[08:26.000 -> 08:28.000] Very closely related to that company.
[08:28.000 -> 08:31.300] Yeah, I think closely related as in they're in the same fucking office.
[08:31.700 -> 08:32.700] Yeah, exactly.
[08:32.700 -> 08:38.700] But if you're wondering if you're watching this live on Twitch kick is basically the exact same thing as Twitch
[08:38.700 -> 08:42.400] because they pretty much copied the source code and it looks very similar.
[08:42.500 -> 08:43.700] And if they didn't, I'm surprised.
[08:43.700 -> 08:46.380] They're just like, hey, can you just like make the exact same thing?
[08:46.380 -> 08:47.860] And they did that.
[08:47.860 -> 08:50.500] A lot of creators on Twitch are also looking to use
[08:50.500 -> 08:54.540] that as well because the ad revenue split is very favorable
[08:54.540 -> 08:57.500] and basically Stake, the gambling company,
[08:57.500 -> 08:58.700] are just like, right,
[08:58.700 -> 09:00.260] we don't need to make any money off the site.
[09:00.260 -> 09:01.580] We'll just pump money into it
[09:01.580 -> 09:04.540] and let the streamers keep all of their ad revenue,
[09:04.540 -> 09:05.600] which is interesting.
[09:05.600 -> 09:09.800] And a lot of people are making a difference in that, but I don't have any interest in
[09:09.800 -> 09:13.120] taking this off of Twitch or not streaming on Twitch.
[09:13.120 -> 09:16.200] I'll just, yeah, not interested in it.
[09:16.200 -> 09:19.320] Yeah, no, we resigned ourselves to financial ruin.
[09:19.320 -> 09:22.640] It doesn't matter what we earn or don't earn.
[09:22.640 -> 09:23.640] Jeffrey Bezos.
[09:23.640 -> 09:30.720] Thank you, bro. In your weird dildo shaped looking rocket.
[09:30.720 -> 09:33.800] Should we get on to the race review?
[09:33.800 -> 09:35.200] Tell me about, tell me about the buildup.
[09:35.200 -> 09:36.760] You want to know about the buildup?
[09:36.760 -> 09:37.960] I'll give you about the buildup.
[09:37.960 -> 09:38.760] Yeah.
[09:38.760 -> 09:41.880] And another, another beautiful piece of irony here.
[09:41.880 -> 09:46.720] Do you remember how last episode we spoke about how I broke the GPS
[09:46.780 -> 09:49.920] once at the Australian Grand Prix?
[09:50.940 -> 09:51.440] Yeah.
[09:51.440 -> 09:51.940] Wow.
[09:52.580 -> 09:55.880] Let me tell you what happened on Friday.
[09:56.020 -> 10:00.700] So the GPS broke again, but this time I wasn't there, so it wasn't my fault.
[10:00.700 -> 10:01.200] Right.
[10:01.920 -> 10:03.120] Can't blame me for this one.
[10:03.440 -> 10:06.640] Dan's left some freaking Easter eggs in that for sure.
[10:06.640 -> 10:11.240] For sure. Yes, the password I set as horny for Horner.
[10:11.240 -> 10:15.400] Yeah, that's the Wi-Fi password. Was that cat meowing in the background?
[10:15.400 -> 10:17.640] Now is that is that what your cats got to think about this?
[10:17.640 -> 10:20.440] No, it's some children playing football in the street.
[10:20.440 -> 10:22.440] Funny story real quick to interrupt you.
[10:22.440 -> 10:26.680] I had some some leftovers, some some signed posters in their
[10:26.680 -> 10:28.480] Max and Checo signed posters.
[10:29.560 -> 10:31.960] And I know they're always playing on the yard talking
[10:31.960 -> 10:35.000] about, I'm Sergio Perez, I'm overtaking you like, you know,
[10:35.000 -> 10:35.920] that's like kids do.
[10:36.160 -> 10:38.680] So do you guys want these these cards?
[10:38.680 -> 10:39.520] And like, oh, sure.
[10:39.760 -> 10:42.240] I give him the Max and he's like, I'm a Hamilton fan.
[10:42.240 -> 10:43.360] I was like, we'll just take it.
[10:43.960 -> 10:48.040] I just went back in the house. Right house right unbelievable do you know which house he
[10:48.040 -> 10:50.960] lives that I couldn't say we're gonna do some
[10:50.960 -> 10:57.880] lawnies yeah exactly what might pull up in the van chuck it reverse and
[10:57.880 -> 11:08.240] yeah brother so yeah sorry we've've gone from causing terrorism in Blake Street, GPS issues on the Friday,
[11:08.240 -> 11:13.760] which fucked everything basically, FIA, back-end infrastructure, shit itself,
[11:16.160 -> 11:20.240] which is the usual story to be honest, from someone that's had to deal with that,
[11:20.240 -> 11:29.000] to weekend, week out. But having that kind of fucked everyone's FP1 and FP2
[11:29.000 -> 11:33.000] and it wrecked their programs really.
[11:33.000 -> 11:37.000] So you might be better versed to explain how detrimental
[11:37.000 -> 11:39.000] that would have been not going through the programs.
[11:39.000 -> 11:42.000] Yeah, well it was interesting because you basically
[11:42.000 -> 11:46.080] screw up pre-practice one and then FP2 they got like one run on the harder compound, but it's interesting because you basically screw up free practice one and then FP2 they
[11:46.080 -> 11:50.160] got like one run on the harder compound, but you just go wake up right at the beginning
[11:50.160 -> 11:51.160] of P2.
[11:51.160 -> 11:54.960] So P1 is about finding the balance, getting the car right, identifying any issues, you
[11:54.960 -> 11:58.800] do some refinements in your two hour break between P1 and P2, then you rock up and P2
[11:58.800 -> 12:02.280] like right, right lads, we've got all those issues, sort of, we've got the best setup
[12:02.280 -> 12:05.560] on the car, we're going to run this, this tire and the softer tire.
[12:05.560 -> 12:07.760] Then we're gonna throw some fuel in the car and understand the high fuel pace.
[12:08.640 -> 12:09.680] They got none of that done.
[12:09.720 -> 12:10.520] They basically got none of that.
[12:10.520 -> 12:10.840] They did it.
[12:10.840 -> 12:13.880] They did a couple laps on their harder of their two tires that they were
[12:13.880 -> 12:17.880] going to run, uh, and then went a couple of people had to look at the, uh, the
[12:18.120 -> 12:21.080] skin intermediates and, uh, that was about it.
[12:21.600 -> 12:22.320] That was about it.
[12:23.000 -> 12:23.320] Yeah.
[12:21.160 -> 12:21.680] That was about it.
[12:22.400 -> 12:23.060] That was about it.
[12:23.400 -> 12:23.460] Yeah.
[12:30.080 -> 12:34.260] Do you reckon, uh, Stefan was, uh, seen leaving the FIA technical shack with a screwdriver in his hand as like a way of enforcing his,
[12:34.260 -> 12:35.640] we don't need free practice.
[12:36.240 -> 12:37.040] Yeah, probably.
[12:37.040 -> 12:38.480] He's like, I told you we don't need it.
[12:38.480 -> 12:42.160] But like, realistically, I had a lot of people like, Oh, it's really unsafe.
[12:42.160 -> 12:47.000] The drivers I'm like, if that's unsafe, then driving in the wet is unsafe and they shouldn't
[12:47.000 -> 12:48.000] be allowed to race in the wet.
[12:48.000 -> 12:50.760] And the FIA already don't want them to race in the wet because they don't even use the
[12:50.760 -> 12:54.240] full wet tires, which is another contentious point.
[12:54.240 -> 13:02.280] But so the the teams were relatively uninformed about the weekend, but with a bit of understanding
[13:02.280 -> 13:06.920] what the Melbourne race is like in this generation of car.
[13:06.920 -> 13:10.960] It was going to be a straightforward one stop.
[13:10.960 -> 13:16.680] And we'll talk about it or was it it was going to be it was going to be, but those damn punk
[13:16.680 -> 13:20.240] kids.
[13:20.240 -> 13:23.560] So yeah, Sergeant had some issues in P1.
[13:23.560 -> 13:25.520] He didn't take part in free practice too.
[13:25.800 -> 13:29.280] And, uh, yeah, it was kind of apparent that he was lacking a bit of track
[13:29.280 -> 13:30.280] time the rest of the weekend.
[13:30.720 -> 13:31.400] Yeah.
[13:31.400 -> 13:31.680] Yeah.
[13:32.800 -> 13:33.120] Yeah.
[13:33.120 -> 13:36.040] Electrical issues apparently is the official term.
[13:36.680 -> 13:37.360] Yeah, exactly.
[13:37.360 -> 13:40.720] Somebody, somebody let the smoke out of the electrical port there on that car.
[13:41.560 -> 13:43.560] He was, he was an interesting thing about Melbourne.
[13:43.560 -> 13:47.720] We talked about this and, uh and they had four DRS zones.
[13:47.720 -> 13:50.400] So every DRS activation zone,
[13:50.400 -> 13:53.200] so it says if your car is within this one second
[13:53.200 -> 13:56.320] at this point, you can use DRS on this next straight.
[13:56.320 -> 13:57.840] Well, at Melbourne, it's like if your car's
[13:57.840 -> 14:00.440] within one second here, you can use DRS
[14:00.440 -> 14:01.360] on the next two straights.
[14:01.360 -> 14:02.960] And there was two instances of that.
[14:02.960 -> 14:06.080] And a lot of people before the event were thinking, Ooh, that high
[14:06.080 -> 14:08.000] speed turn nine, that's really unsafe.
[14:08.680 -> 14:09.680] It wasn't unsafe at all.
[14:09.680 -> 14:11.440] It was actually just kind of boring to watch.
[14:11.480 -> 14:11.680] Yeah.
[14:11.680 -> 14:13.000] No, I was one of them.
[14:13.560 -> 14:14.720] Well, I didn't think it was unsafe.
[14:14.720 -> 14:19.840] I just thought it'd be a repeat of last year where we said, Oh, look, here you go.
[14:19.840 -> 14:23.280] Here's four DRS zones, but we're going to end up taking one away for the banks.
[14:24.280 -> 14:24.640] Yeah.
[14:24.760 -> 14:25.900] And they didn't take it away.
[14:25.900 -> 14:28.200] I thought they were going to as well, but they didn't and they kept it.
[14:28.200 -> 14:30.220] And I don't think it made much difference, but we'll
[14:30.220 -> 14:31.160] talk about DRS in a minute.
[14:31.200 -> 14:34.820] But, um, yeah, the free practice two programs, people went into
[14:34.820 -> 14:36.220] the weekend, relatively blind.
[14:36.700 -> 14:39.700] Free practice three was a little bit random and I don't really remember
[14:39.700 -> 14:41.460] too much about it, honestly.
[14:42.700 -> 14:46.440] Uh, free practice three, Nick DeVries's car decided to
[14:46.440 -> 14:51.580] disintegrate on the entry to turn nine so there was like a brief red flag one
[14:51.580 -> 14:56.900] of marshals had to come clear that up. Lando had some issues of his car with a
[14:56.900 -> 15:02.940] clutch issue Perez spent 20 minutes in the garage having a rear setup change
[15:02.940 -> 15:05.040] and ended up driving off the track again anyway
[15:06.320 -> 15:12.960] and uh Alpine looked pretty quick finishing FP3 and P3 and P5 and I know you tell me this every
[15:12.960 -> 15:19.360] week that FP3 doesn't mean shit but listen Alpine were my go-to this weekend for my
[15:20.240 -> 15:25.520] random fandom so I you know I was hyping him up. Yeah, you were.
[15:25.720 -> 15:27.000] Yeah. Look what good that did them.
[15:27.020 -> 15:27.920] Foreshadowing sound.
[15:30.080 -> 15:33.980] But, um, that was, that's let's talk about Checo's free practice three real quick.
[15:33.980 -> 15:38.600] Cause he was basically, um, he, he did several gravel trap inspections cause he
[15:38.600 -> 15:40.720] didn't feel like the marshals had done a very good job on it.
[15:41.000 -> 15:44.400] And like you alluded to, they were like, something's wrong with the setup.
[15:44.400 -> 15:45.360] Let's work on that. And they did a long change job on it. And like you alluded to, they were like, something's wrong with the setup, let's work on that.
[15:45.360 -> 15:47.760] And they did a long change in the garage.
[15:47.760 -> 15:49.360] There's some changes that,
[15:49.360 -> 15:50.860] you know, when you make certain changes to the car,
[15:50.860 -> 15:52.440] they require a lot of bodywork off
[15:52.440 -> 15:53.520] or lots of components out,
[15:53.520 -> 15:54.920] or there's a pain in the ass
[15:54.920 -> 15:56.240] and you don't wanna do them in a session
[15:56.240 -> 15:57.520] unless you absolutely have to.
[15:57.520 -> 15:58.720] And to be fair with how short
[15:58.720 -> 16:00.740] and compressed these sessions are,
[16:00.740 -> 16:03.760] you don't really wanna be changing big stuff
[16:03.760 -> 16:06.960] in free practice three. Free practice three needs to be dress rehearsal.
[16:06.960 -> 16:10.560] So Checo was doing the gravel trap inspections all morning.
[16:10.560 -> 16:14.480] And yeah, it didn't, it didn't.
[16:14.480 -> 16:15.120] How'd that go?
[16:15.120 -> 16:16.800] Let's fast forward to qualifying.
[16:16.800 -> 16:19.680] He was only just warming up, it turned out.
[16:19.680 -> 16:20.960] Okay.
[16:20.960 -> 16:21.760] Okay.
[16:21.760 -> 16:23.200] He was just warming up for qualifying.
[16:23.200 -> 16:30.080] He was just warming up for qualifying. He was just warming up for qualifying because in qualifying he immediately went out and
[16:30.080 -> 16:37.120] then just basically parked his car at turn three in the gravel and yeah, that was it.
[16:37.120 -> 16:38.120] There was an issue with the car.
[16:38.120 -> 16:39.120] I don't know.
[16:39.120 -> 16:43.400] It was interesting because we've heard a couple of different things.
[16:43.400 -> 16:47.240] I've heard there's nothing wrong with the car and everything was fine and he might have been over pushing
[16:47.240 -> 16:51.120] or he wasn't over pushing. I've heard brake balance issues. I've heard engine braking
[16:51.120 -> 16:55.200] issues and when you've got front locking and pushing wide like that, that can very well
[16:55.200 -> 17:04.000] be a brake balance issue, but I feel like it's. Difficult to be that far out. That late
[17:04.000 -> 17:09.240] in the week after you had a free practice one and everything's fine ish it's pretty difficult to be that far out
[17:09.240 -> 17:15.640] yeah I mean as two engineers that have got multiple years experience in F1
[17:15.640 -> 17:21.320] it'd be highly unprofessional for us to speculate on our previous team which is
[17:21.320 -> 17:25.960] why I'm gonna do it anyway and say that, uh, I'm going with
[17:25.960 -> 17:27.320] diff issue for that one.
[17:27.800 -> 17:28.360] Diffy.
[17:28.500 -> 17:28.740] Yeah.
[17:28.740 -> 17:31.480] I think he had a diff issue, either a setting or something.
[17:31.480 -> 17:33.500] It wasn't right on the diff and it just pushed him forward.
[17:34.400 -> 17:35.040] Interesting.
[17:35.160 -> 17:37.920] Understeer him into the, uh, twilight zone.
[17:38.560 -> 17:39.720] Yeah, exactly.
[17:39.880 -> 17:42.640] But here's, here's an interesting, I saw somebody highlight a picture
[17:42.640 -> 17:44.640] of pointing at the front wheels.
[17:48.880 -> 17:50.120] And he's turned into the corner and imagine the outside wheel is turned in a lot more than the inside wheel.
[17:50.120 -> 17:53.040] And they're like, something's wrong with the suspension.
[17:53.040 -> 17:54.040] That is incorrect.
[17:54.040 -> 17:59.480] That is called Ackerman specifically in that case, anti-Ackerman, which is very typical
[17:59.480 -> 18:01.160] of a Formula One car.
[18:01.160 -> 18:05.800] So I'll do a tech analysis of how Ackerman and anti-Ackerman work later,
[18:05.800 -> 18:08.000] but that is not the thing.
[18:08.000 -> 18:13.760] It's 21 episodes in and that's the nerdiest I think you've got.
[18:13.760 -> 18:18.000] Ackerman is great. It's lots of steering geometry stuff and that's really fundamental to Formula
[18:18.000 -> 18:25.360] One cars, but it doesn't work like you think it do. And it don't be that important either.
[18:29.120 -> 18:29.840] Well there you go there you go listeners that's your word of the day Ackerman.
[18:32.800 -> 18:34.080] Or anti-Ackerman or negative Ackerman.
[18:38.960 -> 18:40.160] Go drive to your place of work tell your mates all about it tell your nan tell your butcher
[18:41.600 -> 18:42.480] anti-Ackerman beef please.
[18:46.000 -> 18:48.000] Yeah mate I'll have a bofa martini. I'll tell you about that story.
[18:48.000 -> 18:50.000] Before we get into the rest of qualifying,
[18:50.000 -> 18:52.000] I'll tell you about that story.
[18:52.000 -> 18:54.000] The first time I met
[18:54.000 -> 18:56.000] Tiamat Marduk was at the Formula E race
[18:56.000 -> 18:58.000] in London, right?
[18:58.000 -> 19:00.000] And I was there with him.
[19:00.000 -> 19:02.000] Aldas was there.
[19:02.000 -> 19:04.000] Matt Amos was there.
[19:04.000 -> 19:07.560] All great creators. YouTube, Formula
[19:07.560 -> 19:13.320] One Gaming, Formula One IRL stuff. Matt asked Teammate Mark, he's like, you want a drink?
[19:13.320 -> 19:16.560] And I was like, yeah, I'll have a, Matt, what do you want? And Matt's like something like
[19:16.560 -> 19:23.040] a, like, I'll have a Deez Nuts lager. And Ben was like, yeah, cool. And then I was like,
[19:23.040 -> 19:26.560] I'll have a bofo martini. He goes back and he's just like smirks.
[19:26.560 -> 19:27.160] He's like, huh?
[19:27.160 -> 19:28.400] And he just walks off, gets the drink.
[19:28.400 -> 19:29.120] He comes back.
[19:29.120 -> 19:32.280] And he's like, they didn't have a bofa martini.
[19:32.280 -> 19:33.640] And everybody just looks at him like, mate.
[19:33.640 -> 19:35.640] Mate.
[19:35.640 -> 19:37.640] Zero D.
[19:37.640 -> 19:42.320] So basically, by virtue of me being a jerk, I didn't get a free drink.
[19:42.320 -> 19:44.320] Ah, ruined.
[19:44.320 -> 19:46.240] I did go back and order my drink, but the barmaid looked at him like,
[19:46.880 -> 19:47.460] I'm sorry, mate.
[19:47.460 -> 19:47.960] What?
[19:48.720 -> 19:49.440] Got him.
[19:50.740 -> 19:52.040] Tell me about, sorry.
[19:52.040 -> 19:52.280] Yeah.
[19:52.280 -> 19:58.000] Perez, um, went in to the twilight zone, uh, Alpine.
[19:58.860 -> 20:02.320] Well, who I mentioned in Alpine, cause they did genuinely look quite
[20:02.320 -> 20:04.840] quick, uh, on the Friday and Saturday.
[20:05.360 -> 20:05.840] Yep.
[20:05.840 -> 20:09.600] And everyone's been shitting on them and I thought no, no, no, just wait.
[20:10.800 -> 20:15.760] But they sort of lost all the pace that they found and Gasly qualified ninth, Ocon 11th.
[20:16.960 -> 20:22.880] In the post qualifying chat, apparently they were fuelled for multiple laps and were trying to prep
[20:22.880 -> 20:26.660] the tyres for multiple laps. Now we've seen this a few times on some different teams
[20:26.660 -> 20:28.360] and how they do it,
[20:28.360 -> 20:30.560] but it didn't really work out for them this time,
[20:30.560 -> 20:32.840] but somebody else did this as well.
[20:32.840 -> 20:34.280] You spotted this.
[20:34.280 -> 20:35.520] A lot, yeah, well,
[20:35.520 -> 20:39.600] so when I talk about tire preparation, a lot of teams,
[20:39.600 -> 20:41.080] so the soft tires,
[20:41.080 -> 20:43.160] people are having struggles to warm them up.
[20:43.160 -> 20:47.200] And a lot of people had very different approaches to that.
[20:47.200 -> 20:49.840] And that's one of those things when you lose out on all that running in free
[20:49.840 -> 20:53.000] practice, too, you're kind of behind the curve and free practice
[20:53.000 -> 20:55.760] when you're going out fast, slow, fast, you're pushing for multiple laps,
[20:56.080 -> 20:57.600] just getting a feel for the car.
[20:57.600 -> 21:00.200] But in terms of getting the optimum amount of grip out of the tire,
[21:00.680 -> 21:01.960] there's a very specific.
[21:03.320 -> 21:04.760] Set of conditions that you need to tire to be,
[21:04.760 -> 21:05.000] and you don't want to overheat the surface too much, that that you need the tire to be in.
[21:05.000 -> 21:06.540] You don't wanna overheat the surface too much.
[21:06.540 -> 21:08.780] That means you don't wanna slide it or spin up the wheels.
[21:08.780 -> 21:10.380] You wanna put a lot of stress into the tires.
[21:10.380 -> 21:13.440] And the only way to do that for some teams this weekend
[21:13.440 -> 21:14.900] was not to just do an out lap.
[21:14.900 -> 21:18.860] They would do an out lap, a relatively fast slow lap,
[21:18.860 -> 21:21.100] something like 10, 15 seconds off the pace,
[21:21.100 -> 21:23.760] you know, pushing in a straight line, going quite quickly.
[21:23.760 -> 21:24.980] And then push lap.
[21:24.980 -> 21:25.120] Some teams did two slow. And then push laps.
[21:25.120 -> 21:28.000] Some teams did two slow laps before their push lap.
[21:28.000 -> 21:32.800] So Verstappen was a single relatively fast build lap into a push lap.
[21:32.800 -> 21:37.720] Russell was in the Mercedes guys were doing two build laps into a push lap.
[21:37.720 -> 21:39.600] Alonso, the exact same.
[21:39.600 -> 21:44.000] And Sainz was doing something like two very, very slow laps into a push lap.
[21:44.000 -> 21:45.000] And then Leclerc was
[21:45.000 -> 21:50.760] only doing one lap. And if we look at the competitiveness of everybody in qualifying,
[21:50.760 -> 21:55.200] that was a really interesting thing because Ferrari fell way off relative to their normal
[21:55.200 -> 22:02.720] qualifying pace, Alfa Romeo, McLaren, and Alpine as well. So I attribute that entirely
[22:02.720 -> 22:05.920] to Alpine and those teams struggling with tire preparation.
[22:05.920 -> 22:10.720] I do not think Australia was indicative, but what do you think?
[22:10.720 -> 22:17.000] We saw Aston and Mercedes, Mercedes up there and Alonso just behind them.
[22:17.000 -> 22:21.040] Yeah, I was, uh, no, no, I'll say it.
[22:21.040 -> 22:26.200] I was surprised to see, uh, the Mercedes in two and three.
[22:26.780 -> 22:28.060] Yeah, I w I was as well.
[22:28.060 -> 22:34.640] And if I had to guess looking at this in terms of the pace offsets to normal, I think,
[22:34.880 -> 22:38.360] and then looking specifically through Max's lap, we didn't have a check a lap to compare.
[22:38.360 -> 22:41.020] Cause if I did, I'd see a little bit more information about how that car was
[22:41.020 -> 22:44.280] performing, but I think Max left a bit on the table.
[22:44.720 -> 22:45.480] It looked to
[22:45.480 -> 22:53.420] me like Lewis and George got most out of their laps. I think the Aston performed normally.
[22:53.420 -> 22:57.420] I think the Mercedes took advantage of everybody else struggling out with a little bit with
[22:57.420 -> 23:02.140] the tire preparations, and I think they did pretty well out of it to close the gap. It'll
[23:02.140 -> 23:05.200] be interesting when we get to Baku, which is a completely different
[23:05.200 -> 23:07.680] type of circuit to see if anybody's made any gains, but.
[23:09.280 -> 23:13.200] Yeah, well, I got four weeks to come up with some upgrades as well if they want.
[23:13.760 -> 23:20.800] Yeah, exactly. But qualifying was I enjoyed this qualifying session because I couldn't
[23:21.360 -> 23:27.600] see what was going to happen, you know, and it was also kind of muddied by the fact that teams were doing build laps, which is.
[23:28.240 -> 23:32.680] Completely indicative of poor warmup, which begs to ask the question.
[23:34.240 -> 23:36.240] Could we have done with softer compounds this weekend?
[23:37.280 -> 23:38.360] Oh, wow.
[23:39.560 -> 23:42.120] A lot of the teams were whinging about tires this weekend.
[23:43.360 -> 23:48.100] Lando Norris was quite vocal about him saying that, um, despite all the
[23:48.100 -> 23:51.280] warmup and getting them up to temperature, he still had no grip.
[23:52.180 -> 23:52.380] Yep.
[23:52.800 -> 23:57.640] Um, Alex Alvin, we'll talk about him later after his little incident
[23:57.900 -> 23:59.440] made a reference to the tires.
[24:00.220 -> 24:00.440] Yep.
[24:00.540 -> 24:04.500] And it just basically all the way up to qualifying, like for every session,
[24:04.500 -> 24:05.580] there was just a random
[24:05.580 -> 24:11.720] driver spinning off or more than usual just people sort of just driving straight off the
[24:11.720 -> 24:12.720] track.
[24:12.720 -> 24:16.040] So a bit of a weird one for tyres this weekend.
[24:16.040 -> 24:20.680] Yeah, it's interesting because we'll come back to the tyre situation in the race, but
[24:20.680 -> 24:25.200] everything that we've seen from this says that the tire selection they brought was
[24:29.440 -> 24:35.920] too hard but it was the same that we brought last year we had a pretty dull one stop on it but I don't recall um qualifying more with these shoes but I don't remember qualifying from last year but
[24:35.920 -> 24:49.840] we keep making all these references to the race is it time yeah because uh all this chat about Pirelli's I'm getting tired. Are you a little P0 mate?
[24:49.840 -> 24:51.360] Dad joke, dad joke.
[24:51.360 -> 24:55.040] When I think of P0 I just think of P Nowhere.
[24:55.040 -> 24:56.880] Yeah, that's me.
[24:56.880 -> 24:58.720] That's my street name.
[24:58.720 -> 25:01.120] Oh yeah, that is.
[25:01.120 -> 25:05.400] Dan, P Nowhere, Engine Mode, Fraudface. Yep. Let's talk about it. Nowhere engine mode fraud face.
[25:05.400 -> 25:06.400] Yep.
[25:06.400 -> 25:08.640] Let's talk about it.
[25:08.640 -> 25:09.640] Let's talk about the race.
[25:09.640 -> 25:10.640] What the race?
[25:10.640 -> 25:16.840] I mean, I was personally like thinking Max and Louis front row.
[25:16.840 -> 25:18.200] I'm like, we're going to see some ding dong.
[25:18.200 -> 25:22.360] We're going to see some ping pong formula one championship.
[25:22.360 -> 25:23.800] So talk us through it.
[25:23.800 -> 25:27.080] Did you think we were going to have some classic 2021 action?
[25:27.600 -> 25:29.640] Yeah, just mate, check out this.
[25:29.760 -> 25:33.720] This is my rear tire or here's my front corner and your rear corner.
[25:33.720 -> 25:34.120] Good night.
[25:34.240 -> 25:34.560] Yeah.
[25:34.640 -> 25:35.120] Who knows?
[25:35.440 -> 25:35.920] Who knows?
[25:36.080 -> 25:36.640] Let's talk about it.
[25:37.000 -> 25:39.480] Well, there wasn't really much to talk about because Stefan didn't
[25:39.480 -> 25:40.680] really have a great getaway.
[25:41.520 -> 25:44.320] Uh, he got mugged off by George in the beginning.
[25:44.880 -> 25:46.800] Um, and then I think what by turn three
[25:46.800 -> 25:54.400] Hamilton went past him. Yeah even he even was accused of he pushed me off but uh that was solid
[25:54.400 -> 25:59.280] that was a solid move. Yeah so this has got nothing to do with me wearing my Red Bull shirt this
[25:59.280 -> 26:08.760] evening and disgusting Red Bull bias. I wonder if this may have been a big brain move by Max to be sensible and just say, you
[26:08.760 -> 26:13.400] know what, if they want to overtake me, let them overtake me because in five laps time,
[26:13.400 -> 26:17.320] I'm going to fucking wreck them anyway.
[26:17.320 -> 26:21.160] But like, it looked like he struggled on the restarts a little bit, which was interesting.
[26:21.160 -> 26:26.100] It's just like, and maybe this was an extension of the low grip, but at the same time,
[26:26.100 -> 26:30.200] I don't, like, I expect Mercedes from what we've seen
[26:30.200 -> 26:32.880] in the past of them to struggle with warmup.
[26:32.880 -> 26:34.040] The same or more?
[26:34.040 -> 26:38.880] Typically more, just the warmup has been a W13, W14.
[26:38.880 -> 26:43.200] Yes, but I think maybe that could be attributed
[26:43.200 -> 26:48.060] to the set of compromises they used to have to make with the 13. I don't think they have to do so much with a 14
[26:48.700 -> 26:52.260] Fair fair enough. Look at me sounding like I know what I'm talking about
[26:52.780 -> 26:57.100] All right, I've played so much f1 2022. I'm an expert. Oh
[26:58.100 -> 27:03.780] I think that's gonna be if anybody's tuning in and you haven't checked either engine mode 11 or break out on Twitch
[27:03.780 -> 27:10.920] We will be doing some F1 22 streams and maybe the most fraudulent co-op mode career that you've ever seen.
[27:11.880 -> 27:12.280] For real.
[27:12.960 -> 27:13.720] It's going to be amazing.
[27:13.720 -> 27:20.520] So, uh, but yeah, so race start max struggling a little bit, uh, Checo starting all the way from the back.
[27:21.260 -> 27:21.800] As well.
[27:22.040 -> 27:23.160] What else happened on the race start?
[27:23.160 -> 27:24.960] Did Checo not start from the pit lane?
[27:21.840 -> 27:22.040] back as well.
[27:23.160 -> 27:28.040] What else happened on the race start? Did Checo not start from the pit lane because he changed his ES and control
[27:28.040 -> 27:32.400] electronics, which is a penalty, I believe, because he already used two.
[27:32.400 -> 27:34.440] So I think he took his third set and did a pit lane.
[27:35.080 -> 27:36.520] Ooh, could be wrong.
[27:36.600 -> 27:37.520] I didn't double check that.
[27:37.520 -> 27:38.160] He did.
[27:38.160 -> 27:39.280] He did pit lane start it though.
[27:39.280 -> 27:44.200] So, um, Checo was, Checo was kind of anonymous through the first bit of the
[27:44.200 -> 27:47.440] race, which takes us, uh, Oh, what else happened on the race?
[27:47.440 -> 27:47.820] Start.
[27:48.100 -> 27:49.420] Oh, Tifosi.
[27:49.800 -> 27:50.760] Oh, Tifosi.
[27:50.760 -> 27:51.880] Mama mia.
[27:52.600 -> 27:53.920] Sad, sad spaghetti.
[27:53.920 -> 27:54.800] Balling his noses.
[27:54.880 -> 27:55.760] Charles.
[27:56.400 -> 27:57.080] Leclerc.
[27:57.680 -> 27:58.400] Leclerc.
[27:58.560 -> 27:59.160] Leclerc.
[27:59.160 -> 28:01.320] I get moaned out in the comments for how I say it.
[28:01.360 -> 28:06.600] So if I just say it every every way Chuck, poor old Chuck.
[28:07.600 -> 28:13.160] Uh, he got fucked into the sand and then got ducked.
[28:14.960 -> 28:15.580] It was out.
[28:15.580 -> 28:19.220] He, um, he decided the Australian Grand Prix wasn't for him and he just
[28:19.220 -> 28:20.340] needed a little beach holiday.
[28:20.340 -> 28:30.800] So parked his car, uh, but to be fair though, that was, I mean, what did you have, you had Fernando, you had Lance and you had him in a three-way and he was on
[28:30.800 -> 28:34.360] the outside and, and the two Aston Martin homeboys.
[28:34.560 -> 28:35.880] Lance was in the middle.
[28:35.960 -> 28:37.440] Alonzo was on the outside.
[28:37.440 -> 28:40.160] It was like a, it was a bit of a sandwich.
[28:40.160 -> 28:41.560] Lance didn't have anywhere to go.
[28:41.840 -> 28:43.920] So they just, someone was going to get hit.
[28:44.560 -> 28:48.740] Fortunately it was Charles's turn and, turn and that was it into the key.
[28:48.740 -> 28:49.420] Later he went.
[28:50.700 -> 28:51.040] Yeah.
[28:51.440 -> 28:54.880] Like the only person that could have really avoided that was actually LeClaire.
[28:56.740 -> 29:01.220] And the stewards did deem that to be a racing incident.
[29:02.740 -> 29:03.940] I think that was super fair.
[29:04.260 -> 29:05.880] Like it was just one of those things that
[29:05.880 -> 29:08.820] happened and he probably could have backed out and he was the one that lost
[29:08.820 -> 29:12.960] out as a result of it so yeah tomato-potato kind of thing. I just want
[29:12.960 -> 29:19.040] to shout out the sorry I've forgotten his name there's a guy on Twitter that
[29:19.040 -> 29:30.400] flew all the way from Buenos Aires to Melbourne. He was a massive Charles fan and yeah, got to watch him crash out on lap one at turn three.
[29:30.400 -> 29:37.600] So, pick yourself up mate, that's a villain origin story right there.
[29:37.600 -> 29:39.200] Yeah, exactly.
[29:39.200 -> 29:44.000] You're going to find him outside of the Canadian embassy soon thinking, oh no.
[29:44.000 -> 29:46.780] And he's not going to be chugging a bottle of maple syrup either.
[29:48.100 -> 29:48.780] No, that'd be me.
[29:49.400 -> 29:50.200] Yeah, exactly.
[29:50.540 -> 29:50.900] Right.
[29:51.300 -> 29:55.260] So you, you alluded to this earlier and, um, we're going to, we're going to
[29:55.260 -> 30:00.100] talk about this race is the race of three red flags and our first red
[30:00.100 -> 30:02.220] flag tonight brought to you by.
[30:03.940 -> 30:07.080] Oh, fuck. I didn't. didn't well I was gonna come up with
[30:07.080 -> 30:11.400] some catchy sponsor but oh no we do have a sponsor hey the red flag the first red
[30:11.400 -> 30:16.800] flag the first red well yeah the first red flag could be sponsored by Nord VPN
[30:16.800 -> 30:22.080] could they yeah why don't we let's let's go ahead and do that
[30:22.480 -> 30:27.920] hello it's me again just to tell you that we are continuing our deal with

[30:51.600 -> 30:58.720] for years and i've been completely happy with it the entire time and it's just in time to get around
[30:58.720 -> 31:06.300] that potential geographical restrictions for f1 tv obviously I can't say you should do that
[31:06.300 -> 31:09.720] because that's probably illegal, but you know.

[31:14.540 -> 31:16.700] so me and Blake can feed our families.
[31:16.700 -> 31:17.540] Thank you.
[31:20.100 -> 31:21.900] There's only one problem with that.
[31:21.900 -> 31:24.180] We've got three red flags and only one sponsor.
[31:24.180 -> 31:26.440] So we're fucked for the other two red flags.
[31:26.920 -> 31:27.440] Yeah, exactly.
[31:27.440 -> 31:32.560] However, for this Nord VPN sponsored red flag, uh, we give you Alex Albon spinning
[31:32.560 -> 31:37.040] off on lap seven, um, really weird crash.
[31:37.680 -> 31:40.020] Uh, he just, I mean, you just watched a replay of it.
[31:40.020 -> 31:40.720] He just lost it.
[31:41.080 -> 31:45.800] And I think no one was more confused than Alex himself.
[31:45.920 -> 31:51.780] Um, afterwards he said, uh, basically he lost the car, but he was going through
[31:51.780 -> 31:56.180] the corner slower than he did in the previous lap, he attributes it to going
[31:56.180 -> 32:00.400] wide on the corner before and reckons the tire temperature spiked, lost grip.
[32:00.500 -> 32:03.240] And just, I don't know, just lost it when he went into that corner.
[32:03.800 -> 32:04.920] Fucking weird, man.
[32:05.360 -> 32:06.520] Weird, weird crash.
[32:06.640 -> 32:10.400] And yet again, another glowing endorsement for a Pirelli rubber.
[32:12.400 -> 32:16.320] It could have been any number of things though, but, um, what we're going to do
[32:16.320 -> 32:20.320] is we're going to come back and talk about all of the red flag situations a
[32:20.320 -> 32:23.520] minute, because we had three, three, three, and we'll talk about all of them
[32:23.520 -> 32:27.400] in a minute and should they have been red flags or not, but we'll kind of roll through the race and
[32:27.400 -> 32:28.440] then come back and touch on those.
[32:28.440 -> 32:32.560] Cause I feel like there's a whole segment regarding red flags that we should get into.
[32:32.560 -> 32:40.300] But so we restart the race on lap 10 and you, you, you watched it again this morning.
[32:40.300 -> 32:41.300] You couldn't see it either.
[32:41.300 -> 32:45.960] The breeze gets, theries gets the shadow realm.
[32:45.960 -> 32:52.200] This whole fucking race right I clearly you know didn't wake up on time to watch it live
[32:52.200 -> 32:55.520] because why would I?
[32:55.520 -> 33:02.000] So I watched it in the evening and still couldn't really fucking make heads or tails of it so
[33:02.000 -> 33:08.220] I watched it again today and I noticed today on that restart, I don't know who, but someone
[33:08.280 -> 33:11.940] drives into the back of Nick DeVries and his car just gets launched into the air.
[33:13.180 -> 33:14.620] But they never mentioned who did it.
[33:14.620 -> 33:16.480] So I've got no fucking clue who did it.
[33:16.480 -> 33:18.780] And you don't get a decent enough camera angle to see it.
[33:19.380 -> 33:22.100] Oh, there's like a carry on carry on.
[33:22.480 -> 33:25.240] So the race is kind of
[33:30.360 -> 33:35.080] Chai shouting Logan sergeant at me. So maybe it's him but I thought he was awful He took him out at the very end. This was the first he took out Yuki at the end. Oh, did he?
[33:35.080 -> 33:37.400] Oh, okay. So he basically managed to fucking hit
[33:38.000 -> 33:43.240] Who knows anyway, Nick de Vries got his flights back to Fienza
[33:44.920 -> 33:45.280] So, yeah weird Reece got his, um, flights back to Fienza.
[33:46.160 -> 33:48.600] So yeah, weird.
[33:49.800 -> 33:54.200] But let's, let's talk about this. Cause this is, if you haven't seen the clip on board from Lewis Hamilton going
[33:54.200 -> 33:59.200] through, um, basically turn eight, the, the, the long straight windy bit through
[33:59.200 -> 34:04.500] the catch fences up until the fast left-hander of nine, nine, and then the
[34:04.500 -> 34:05.840] fast right-hander of 10, that little
[34:05.840 -> 34:07.480] high speed chicane.
[34:07.480 -> 34:12.480] You see, I swear to God, I was like, that looks like Lewis is on an outlap.
[34:12.480 -> 34:19.320] Max flies past him, absolutely freaking flies past him like a rocket ship.
[34:19.320 -> 34:21.840] I looked at the telemetry from that.
[34:21.840 -> 34:28.680] He's got a 20 kilometer closing speed on him, which is pretty nuts.
[34:28.680 -> 34:35.400] By the exit of turn nine, he's already found a second to Lewis.
[34:35.400 -> 34:39.760] Then he finds a second from turn 11 to the end of the lap as well.
[34:39.760 -> 34:47.040] I know they kept the DRS in 9-10, and my initial reaction is, oh, that's way too easy, that's super contrived.
[34:47.040 -> 34:48.680] Then you look back through the field
[34:48.680 -> 34:51.280] and it was just a bunch of cars racing,
[34:52.200 -> 34:54.800] a couple seconds gap and they were able to hold gaps.
[34:55.800 -> 35:00.800] But it's not like we saw a load of cars in pace order
[35:02.080 -> 35:03.880] randomly being able to overtake each other.
[35:03.880 -> 35:07.600] So the first reaction I had was that's super contrived and that's like the DRS
[35:07.600 -> 35:09.040] is overpowered and all this other stuff.
[35:09.880 -> 35:13.520] And I went back and I was like, well, the DRS just lets cars out of
[35:13.520 -> 35:16.200] pace order overtake more or less.
[35:16.480 -> 35:21.480] So was it just a crap race?
[35:22.760 -> 35:25.880] Ah, see, this, this could be a spicy take, but I'm inclined to agree with you.
[35:25.880 -> 35:33.560] If you remove the drama of the red flags and the restarts, I don't think there was
[35:33.560 -> 35:36.920] actually a lot fucking interesting in that race.
[35:36.960 -> 35:43.240] I mean, we saw a couple of spicy battles, but other than that, was it that exciting?
[35:44.200 -> 35:47.280] Well, I'm not sure it was. in that race. I mean, we saw a couple of spicy battles. Other than that, was it that exciting?
[35:48.160 -> 35:49.560] Well, I'm not sure it was.
[35:50.240 -> 35:53.000] I mean, here's my, here's my take of the Melbourne Grand Prix.
[35:53.640 -> 36:00.280] It was basically a couple race starts and then a painfully dull, uh, zero
[36:00.280 -> 36:02.200] stop hard tire sprint race.
[36:04.400 -> 36:06.360] That was, that was the Melbourne Grand Prix,
[36:06.360 -> 36:06.880] and it's not.
[36:06.880 -> 36:07.200] It's not.
[36:07.200 -> 36:09.360] I love the place and I like the track.
[36:09.360 -> 36:12.280] The tires looked too hard.
[36:12.280 -> 36:12.920] They could, you know,
[36:12.920 -> 36:14.360] they could literally have zero
[36:14.360 -> 36:15.680] stop that race on a hard tire,
[36:15.680 -> 36:17.720] which is what teams basically were doing.
[36:17.720 -> 36:18.800] The only reason they wouldn't do that
[36:18.800 -> 36:20.120] is because they have a mandatory stop,
[36:20.120 -> 36:21.680] and you can do that at some places fine.
[36:21.680 -> 36:22.920] Yeah, the first red flag.
[36:22.920 -> 36:25.840] I think George stuck hards on to try and. Go with that strategy some places. Fine. Yeah. The first red flag, I think George stuck cards on to try and.
[36:28.120 -> 36:28.680] Go with that strategy of doing 50 laps on them.
[36:29.000 -> 36:29.040] Yeah.
[36:32.720 -> 36:34.440] Well, that's an interesting one because that red flag that came out, George, it was originally our safety car.
[36:34.440 -> 36:37.000] So yeah, he got his original safety car.
[36:37.560 -> 36:39.360] P seven is for a cheap stop.
[36:39.400 -> 36:40.320] And he's like, right, mate.
[36:40.440 -> 36:41.040] All right, governor.
[36:41.120 -> 36:42.600] Can you tell me what Georgia has said on that?
[36:42.720 -> 36:46.960] Uh, unfortunately I can't because my son messed with all my settings so I could press the
[36:46.960 -> 36:49.840] button but I have no fucking clue what's going to happen so.
[36:49.840 -> 36:55.240] Oh blimey, I'm going to stop for a cheap pit stop alright Toto?
[36:55.240 -> 36:57.280] Fucking hell, what was that?
[36:57.280 -> 36:59.040] Peaky blinders, fucking hell.
[36:59.040 -> 37:00.040] Alright mate.
[37:00.040 -> 37:01.040] Anyway.
[37:01.040 -> 37:04.600] So the governor stopped for a set of tires and they're like we're going to red flag that
[37:04.600 -> 37:08.760] so he just got boned on that stop, which was pretty terrible.
[37:08.760 -> 37:13.560] Um, he got boned on that stop only because of the red flag.
[37:13.560 -> 37:14.560] Yes.
[37:14.560 -> 37:17.320] If it wasn't for that, it might have been quite a, yeah, he'd have been like, here we
[37:17.320 -> 37:18.320] go.
[37:18.320 -> 37:19.320] Well, it might.
[37:19.320 -> 37:20.320] Yeah.
[37:20.320 -> 37:28.580] And then, um, then the entire Mercedes fan base would have imploded on each other talking about favorability in terms of pit stops and stuff like that.
[37:28.580 -> 37:30.380] The same thing that's happening with the Red Bull.
[37:30.780 -> 37:35.640] Um, and the same thing, I got some weird heat from the Alpine fans later,
[37:35.660 -> 37:36.500] but we'll talk to that.
[37:36.820 -> 37:41.540] Um, but yeah, I don't, I don't think DRS was super like that was fine, but you
[37:41.540 -> 37:44.720] mentioned, uh, the governor, what happened to the old man?
[37:46.160 -> 37:51.600] Uh, he, well, he got fucked because they threw a red flag. But after that after that. Oh sorry
[37:51.600 -> 38:00.180] when he's um he yeah so Mercedes decided to try this quite revolutionary internal
[38:00.180 -> 38:05.240] combustion unit which decided to become an external combustion unit. Unfortunately
[38:05.240 -> 38:10.280] the test failed quite dramatically and he pulled over at the side of the track
[38:10.280 -> 38:19.200] on what was it lap 18 I think. Yes but again brace yourself two possible
[38:19.200 -> 38:24.240] technical explanations from me in one episode you're welcome. I believe that
[38:24.240 -> 38:25.680] was a turbo failure
[38:26.400 -> 38:30.560] because the PU was still running at the end of it and that looked like oil fire to me so I think
[38:30.560 -> 38:36.880] the seal's why I went on the turbo. Blimey yeah definitely um definitely could have been that I
[38:36.880 -> 38:41.440] can't think of what that is and I don't really like engines or aerodynamics at all I just like
[38:41.440 -> 38:45.660] to harness their power but it's it not, we don't see too...
[38:45.660 -> 38:48.580] It's just like guns, beer and meat.
[38:48.580 -> 38:49.580] Exactly, exactly.
[38:49.580 -> 38:50.580] And cats.
[38:50.580 -> 38:56.900] Yeah, but it's not, it's not common to see that on a Mercedes power unit failure.
[38:56.900 -> 38:57.900] So...
[38:57.900 -> 38:58.900] It's not.
[38:58.900 -> 38:59.900] Do you want to play a game?
[38:59.900 -> 39:10.000] Ooh, go on. When's the last time we saw a Mercedes on fire?
[39:10.000 -> 39:12.000] I have not a clue.
[39:12.000 -> 39:14.000] I don't actually know.
[39:14.000 -> 39:18.000] I believe it's Malaysia 2016.
[39:18.000 -> 39:26.260] Remember when Lewis famously pulled off, I think, that was the last time we had a Mercedes on fire I
[39:26.260 -> 39:32.540] was I was at that race I just don't I don't remember anything somebody in the
[39:32.540 -> 39:35.380] chat saying yesterday yes very clever well done
[39:35.380 -> 39:41.060] yep it was yeah it was yesterday 2018 Austria mayhaps I don't was that I
[39:41.060 -> 39:48.080] thought that was a non fiery failure I thought that was a non-fiery failure. I thought that was just like a sensor went and they had to pull off to the side.
[39:48.080 -> 39:49.840] Oh, I've got to retire it, mate.
[39:49.840 -> 39:54.400] Um, yeah, but anyway, so there you go.
[39:54.400 -> 39:55.200] Not every day we see that.
[39:55.200 -> 40:03.440] So the good news is potentially, potentially, if that was just a turbo fire, um, probably
[40:03.440 -> 40:08.160] turbo replacement and possibly mgh but if everything else is fine
[40:08.160 -> 40:12.880] the internal combustion unit is probably all right brother. Do you want to play another game show?
[40:13.520 -> 40:30.220] Yeah go on. I can't well I'll do the theme tune anyway but it's not the theme tune. Random Fandom.
[40:30.220 -> 40:31.960] So that was actually a clue, right?
[40:31.960 -> 40:33.880] This isn't random fandom, right?
[40:33.880 -> 40:42.280] This is who's the only PU manufacturer who has not had an engine failure this year.
[40:42.280 -> 40:45.440] And when you know what the answer is you'll be think of helping yeah
[40:46.640 -> 40:48.640] How wild is that?
[40:48.680 -> 40:50.360] No way
[40:50.360 -> 40:58.300] Because the question answer the question you would have asked last year's who's had a PU failure every race and it's that heap of crap Reno
[40:59.880 -> 41:03.840] Unbelievably the baguette mobile they've been striking in France
[41:04.680 -> 41:07.200] they've got some reliability from the French government and, uh, now it's
[41:07.200 -> 41:09.800] the only engine that hasn't, uh, exploded.
[41:10.520 -> 41:11.480] Oh my God.
[41:11.480 -> 41:12.200] That's great.
[41:12.360 -> 41:15.960] Big up your, uh, local boulangerie as well, in case you're wondering.
[41:16.520 -> 41:20.040] Yeah, to, to get that toasty, crispy, crusty roll.
[41:20.480 -> 41:21.960] I can't believe that that blows my mind.
[41:23.160 -> 41:25.520] Oh, so there you go. And that was pretty much fucking it really for the race until, uh, toasty crispy crusty roll I can't believe that that blows my mind
[41:25.520 -> 41:30.600] so there you go and that's pretty much fucking it really for the race until I
[41:30.600 -> 41:37.320] mean nothing really happened after that until like way back in the race what
[41:37.320 -> 41:42.920] about lap 47? Ucheco had done the gravel for the weekend so yeah Max decided to
[41:42.920 -> 41:46.960] do the grass at turn 13. He did yeah yeah and see
[41:46.960 -> 41:52.240] again similar sort of issue to Checo he just sort of turned the wheel and nothing happened he just
[41:53.120 -> 41:58.400] went off. It's the cheating car. Yeah it's the cheat car but um it's the diff settings I'm
[41:58.400 -> 42:05.560] telling you. It was it was actually after that because when I watched the race, I just missed GP.
[42:05.560 -> 42:06.760] Sometimes nobody telling that
[42:06.760 -> 42:08.200] cause he thinks I hate him probably,
[42:08.200 -> 42:12.600] but I listened to GP and the driver talk on a multi-viewer,
[42:12.600 -> 42:13.520] which is great.
[42:13.520 -> 42:14.400] And if you're over here,
[42:14.400 -> 42:18.320] you can use a Nord VPN front slash engine.
[42:18.320 -> 42:22.520] Nord VPN can let you get F1 TV pro and you could,
[42:22.520 -> 42:24.200] but I, every weekend I fly home
[42:24.200 -> 42:25.480] and I take my whole setup to Texas.
[42:25.480 -> 42:26.880] That's why it looks like I'm in the same place
[42:26.880 -> 42:28.120] when I'm live streaming the race watch
[42:28.120 -> 42:29.420] along over my stream.
[42:29.420 -> 42:32.020] But GP was, as soon as that happened,
[42:32.020 -> 42:34.500] GP made some suggestions on the brake balance,
[42:34.500 -> 42:36.740] which is an interesting compromise that you can do
[42:36.740 -> 42:38.400] with the super advanced brake balance,
[42:38.400 -> 42:39.560] brake by wire management systems
[42:39.560 -> 42:40.820] that you have on the Formula One car
[42:40.820 -> 42:42.660] to basically not change.
[42:42.660 -> 42:44.500] So you can basically have optimum brake balance
[42:44.500 -> 42:46.480] when you smash the pedal in a straight line
[42:46.480 -> 42:47.660] and then change the brake balance
[42:47.660 -> 42:49.400] as you're turning into the corner to help rotate
[42:49.400 -> 42:51.360] or stop those tedious front locks
[42:51.360 -> 42:53.560] or just deal with shit tires.
[42:53.560 -> 42:56.520] But that's that.
[42:57.760 -> 42:59.360] And then let's take us to,
[42:59.360 -> 43:00.960] we don't have a sponsor for Red Flag number two.
[43:00.960 -> 43:03.300] Does anybody, I think Lucas Blakely,
[43:04.720 -> 43:06.080] the famous e-Sports driver would
[43:06.080 -> 43:14.240] like to sponsor this next red flag lap 53. Kevin Magnuson hits the wall quite catastrophically.
[43:14.240 -> 43:19.760] Talk us through it. Does hit the wall, but why does he hit the wall, Blake? This, this is where
[43:19.760 -> 43:25.040] we have to get our, uh, Mon, Mon, no, not Monocle. What Sherlock Holmes got?
[43:25.800 -> 43:26.580] Magnifying glass.
[43:26.580 -> 43:27.320] Magnifying glass.
[43:27.320 -> 43:30.740] Why don't I know what fucking magnifying glasses, Jesus fucking Christ.
[43:31.100 -> 43:32.380] Cause you're a fucking bot.
[43:32.720 -> 43:35.300] Australian time zone is fucking me up, man.
[43:35.900 -> 43:37.020] Oh, I love it.
[43:37.220 -> 43:37.740] I love it.
[43:37.820 -> 43:39.060] Um, sorry.
[43:39.060 -> 43:39.300] Yeah.
[43:39.300 -> 43:41.100] So why, why did he hit the wall though?
[43:41.460 -> 43:42.220] Did he hit the wall?
[43:42.220 -> 43:42.980] Chicken or the egg?
[43:43.020 -> 43:43.780] Was it Dan?
[43:43.820 -> 43:48.720] Did the tire blow before he hit the wall though? Did he hit the wall? Was it the chicken or the egg? Was it Dan? Did the tire blow before he hit the wall or after?
[43:49.600 -> 43:50.560] Dun, da, da, dun, da.
[43:50.600 -> 43:53.920] I don't have a sound effect for that, but, uh, no, but I enjoyed that.
[43:53.920 -> 43:54.480] Thank you.
[43:55.120 -> 43:56.000] Uh, so,
[43:56.000 -> 43:58.440] Leo Whiten says meatball merchant came back.
[43:58.440 -> 43:58.960] God.
[43:58.960 -> 44:03.000] The meatball merchant, he's been eating those cheap, nasty meatballs
[44:03.000 -> 44:04.440] from the corner shop that I've had.
[44:04.960 -> 44:05.300] Yeah.
[44:06.080 -> 44:10.240] So here's the theory and I've not been able to verify this.
[44:11.040 -> 44:15.680] And probably no one else has or ever will and if they do they won't mention it.
[44:15.680 -> 44:16.240] Why would that be?
[44:16.240 -> 44:20.160] We're gonna put this one down in the F1 2023 conspiracies list.
[44:21.360 -> 44:22.400] The fraud files.
[44:22.400 -> 44:23.600] The fraud files.
[44:23.600 -> 44:26.000] Oh yeah we should get a sound for that next time.
[44:26.000 -> 44:26.600] Holy shit.
[44:26.600 -> 44:27.400] Write that down.
[44:27.400 -> 44:28.200] Write that down.
[44:28.500 -> 44:28.700] Hold on.
[44:28.700 -> 44:29.700] I got a post-it note.
[44:29.700 -> 44:30.000] Right.
[44:30.000 -> 44:30.500] Keep talking.
[44:30.500 -> 44:31.700] The fraud files.
[44:32.300 -> 44:34.300] The fraud files.
[44:34.700 -> 44:36.400] We'll get Michael to do another one.
[44:36.400 -> 44:36.800] Yeah.
[44:39.300 -> 44:42.800] Magnuson had been taking that corner wide all weekend, apparently.
[44:43.400 -> 44:47.920] He was the only one that was being super aggressive on that curb and word on the
[44:47.920 -> 44:52.160] street from people who are actually physically there watching, apparently
[44:52.160 -> 44:54.000] his tire went before he hit the wall.
[44:56.280 -> 44:58.640] I've not seen any camera footage to verify that.
[45:00.400 -> 45:02.760] Um, but yeah, interesting.
[45:03.400 -> 45:05.460] That's, I mean, that wouldn't be crazy. It could have been Deborah's. Have you heard of Deborah's before? Uh, I yeah, interesting. That's I mean, that wouldn't be crazy.
[45:05.460 -> 45:06.420] It could have been Debris.
[45:06.420 -> 45:07.520] Have you heard of Debris before?
[45:08.240 -> 45:08.880] Uh, I have.
[45:08.880 -> 45:09.160] Yes.
[45:09.160 -> 45:15.000] I think, uh, he got in the, um, way of, uh, Carlos Saenz in a race once, didn't he?
[45:15.560 -> 45:16.120] No.
[45:16.640 -> 45:20.600] Debris is what Pirelli throws out every time there's a catastrophic tire failure.
[45:20.600 -> 45:23.940] Like that was definitely Debris, whatever Debris is.
[45:24.440 -> 45:26.160] Deborah, Deborah from accounting.
[45:26.320 -> 45:27.320] She's been on track.
[45:28.160 -> 45:29.160] Go right, love.
[45:29.160 -> 45:32.440] You've been, you've been throwing Tic Tacs on the ground again.
[45:33.160 -> 45:34.160] How dare you?
[45:34.160 -> 45:35.200] Tic Tacs are a mint.
[45:35.200 -> 45:36.320] I think you mean Tacs.
[45:36.640 -> 45:37.400] Thumb Tacs.
[45:37.400 -> 45:37.960] Thumb Tacs.
[45:37.960 -> 45:38.120] Yeah.
[45:38.120 -> 45:39.120] Not Tic Tacs.
[45:39.200 -> 45:42.160] Deborah from accounts isn't going around spreading mints over the track.
[45:44.600 -> 45:46.480] Mints like beef mints?
[45:46.480 -> 45:51.440] Oh yeah, maybe. Big up your local butcher.
[45:51.440 -> 45:58.880] But um, so either way, Magnuson hits the wall on the exit of two very, very hard. It's a
[45:58.880 -> 45:59.880] it's a big hit.
[45:59.880 -> 46:03.400] Oh shit, sorry. Press the wrong button.
[46:03.400 -> 46:05.820] And it's such a big hit.
[46:05.820 -> 46:11.740] It sends the tire off and it rips a huge chunk of the wheel rim and sends it over the catch
[46:11.740 -> 46:15.080] fences and it ends up cutting some guy's arm.
[46:15.080 -> 46:17.620] I like like the Formula One wheel rims.
[46:17.620 -> 46:19.640] I do believe are forged aluminum, aluminium.
[46:19.640 -> 46:22.840] I don't think they're forged magnesium.
[46:22.840 -> 46:23.840] I think they're aluminum.
[46:23.840 -> 46:27.400] Yeah, no, I believe they're Ali.
[46:27.400 -> 46:34.240] Yeah, and so is a big piece of the wheel rim like jagged is all hell.
[46:34.240 -> 46:37.160] Yeeted over the fence and cut some dudes arm.
[46:37.160 -> 46:40.600] There's a picture of one of the guys with it in his arms like bleeding.
[46:40.600 -> 46:46.080] So that's absolutely terrifying, and that's not the usual failure method of those
[46:46.080 -> 46:50.560] things, but like, how are you supposed to account for the fact that this, this wheel rim.
[46:51.600 -> 46:56.880] Well, motor sport is dangerous. We can't, you know, plan for every eventuality, sadly.
[46:57.440 -> 47:01.920] Um, yeah, no, luckily he was fine considering, cause if you see the piece he's got, it's like
[47:01.920 -> 47:05.000] this length of his forearm. That's a huge piece. Yeah.
[47:05.060 -> 47:08.020] Like if that hits you in the head, uh, you're going to have a bad day.
[47:08.660 -> 47:08.940] Yeah.
[47:08.980 -> 47:10.860] You might not have any days after that.
[47:10.860 -> 47:12.860] So relatively it could be the worst day.
[47:12.900 -> 47:13.220] Yeah.
[47:13.840 -> 47:18.580] Um, but he's been all over Australian news telling his story and listen, pal, if I
[47:18.580 -> 47:20.100] was you, I'd be doing exactly the same.
[47:20.100 -> 47:22.460] I'd be demanding a fucking race seat by now.
[47:22.500 -> 47:27.040] If I got hit by a piece of F1 car. Yeah, chase that bag, my friend.
[47:27.080 -> 47:27.760] Good luck to you.
[47:28.280 -> 47:28.560] Yeah.
[47:28.600 -> 47:33.600] I think Alpine can sort you out after this weekend, but so that's, so we, we
[47:33.600 -> 47:40.360] basically said something like lap seven red flag, we've said lap 53 red flag.
[47:40.720 -> 47:40.880] Yeah.
[47:40.880 -> 47:43.280] We got lap 57, which is a race restart.
[47:43.280 -> 47:44.760] Cause that they've got to check the barriers.
[47:44.760 -> 47:47.840] They've got to clean up a lot of stuff off the track. There's metal, there's parts of
[47:47.840 -> 47:53.680] the wheel rim still on the track. Um, and it's lap 57. They go for a standing start
[47:53.680 -> 48:00.720] again. Yep. And there's a little bit of a kerfuffle about Max Verstappen's grid position.
[48:00.720 -> 48:05.280] And I watched the video. So he pulls into his grid stop, he's a little bit long.
[48:05.280 -> 48:07.800] And it's like he lets his hand off the clutch and slips and
[48:07.800 -> 48:10.400] grabs the clutch quickly and he rolls even further forward.
[48:10.400 -> 48:14.520] There's some photos circulating that show him out of the grid box.
[48:14.520 -> 48:18.200] But from the right angle, you can see that he was on the white line,
[48:18.200 -> 48:19.480] which is legal.
[48:19.480 -> 48:21.720] And I had other people mentioning, well, there's this yellow line.
[48:21.720 -> 48:25.280] If you look, it extends laterally out of the box. So the driver can see it.
[48:28.940 -> 48:32.860] That is merely a reference that is, there's nothing official about that line. That line is just for the driver to, you know, look over the headrest.
[48:32.860 -> 48:36.320] If you'll see me is up to, you know, your ears and you can look over and kind of
[48:36.320 -> 48:37.960] see this like yellow line by your tire.
[48:37.960 -> 48:39.400] And you're like, yeah, I'm about in the right spot, mate.
[48:40.580 -> 48:43.440] This is all, this is after they made the boxes wider and wider and wider, but
[48:43.760 -> 48:46.520] wasn't about the width and it was about the length this weekend.
[48:46.520 -> 48:48.440] Yeah, it's not about the width, my friend.
[48:48.440 -> 48:49.920] It was about the length.
[48:49.920 -> 48:51.720] And he was well within his box.
[48:51.720 -> 48:55.960] I say well within, I mean, his tie was literally on the white line, but that counts.
[48:55.960 -> 48:59.600] It has to be over the white line.
[48:59.600 -> 49:00.600] So yeah.
[49:00.600 -> 49:03.240] We go for another standing start.
[49:03.240 -> 49:06.360] Try to capture this scenario. What happened in this restart, try to try to capture this, this, this scenario.
[49:06.360 -> 49:07.660] What happened in this restart, dude?
[49:07.940 -> 49:09.220] Tell me about it, please.
[49:09.320 -> 49:12.040] Uh, well, Oh my God.
[49:12.100 -> 49:12.540] Right.
[49:13.260 -> 49:17.100] So this is the part where just basically, this is why I had to watch twice for,
[49:17.100 -> 49:19.820] because the amount of fucking chaos that happened, right.
[49:20.040 -> 49:22.500] Then we have Max's grid position and we've dealt with that.
[49:23.200 -> 49:24.180] We'd gone racing.
[49:24.200 -> 49:24.820] Hooray.
[49:23.200 -> 49:25.560] So we have Max's grid positioning, we've dealt with that. We've gone racing, hooray.
[49:25.560 -> 49:28.600] Signs ends up spinning into Alonso
[49:28.600 -> 49:31.220] because Gasly locks up and I think puts them off.
[49:32.800 -> 49:35.600] Gasly has a little excursion.
[49:35.600 -> 49:37.720] He comes back onto the track,
[49:37.720 -> 49:40.800] doesn't really look to his right
[49:40.800 -> 49:42.760] and just drifts straight into Ocon.
[49:43.880 -> 49:46.120] The Florida man invades the personal
[49:46.120 -> 49:51.240] space of Nick DeVries and ends up punting them off at the end. And then
[49:51.240 -> 49:56.400] just for shits and gigs, because the race director gets paid by how many red flags
[49:56.400 -> 50:00.960] he throws, he thinks fuck it let's throw another red flag and we end up with red
[50:00.960 -> 50:09.420] flag number three. But to be fair there were two completely stationary Alpines missing front wings, nose
[50:09.420 -> 50:11.620] and maybe a corner each.
[50:11.620 -> 50:17.200] Those those were in bad shape and we had cars in the gravel trap at turn one.
[50:17.200 -> 50:21.760] That that will come back to the red flags in total, but that was that was it.
[50:21.760 -> 50:25.360] And we're going to break down all the red flags and discuss those in a second.
[50:25.360 -> 50:31.960] So after that shit fight happens again, you have signs is handed to the 5 second penalty.
[50:31.960 -> 50:34.880] We'll talk about that in a second.
[50:34.880 -> 50:41.760] And then you have the race order is reset to the race order of that.
[50:41.760 -> 50:45.080] Standing start, yeah, but there's only one lap left,
[50:45.080 -> 50:47.160] which is the formation lap,
[50:47.160 -> 50:48.340] or the out lap from that restart.
[50:48.340 -> 50:50.640] So the safety car drives everybody around the track.
[50:50.640 -> 50:51.800] They've got back into the order
[50:51.800 -> 50:53.340] they were at the previous start,
[50:53.340 -> 50:54.700] obviously missing a couple of cars
[50:54.700 -> 50:57.720] that happened to not be able to take part in that restart.
[50:57.720 -> 50:59.400] And they take the checkered flag.
[51:02.720 -> 51:08.260] I mean, how many, was it eight DNFs and three red flags and yeah I think three
[51:08.260 -> 51:14.400] red flags is a record for Formula One. It was confirmed yes a new new world record.
[51:14.400 -> 51:23.080] Lovely. So yeah so but the problem with this going back to the race order is
[51:23.080 -> 51:27.320] poor Nico Hulkenberg who I think I may owe an
[51:27.320 -> 51:31.560] apology to because I did I was very critical about him coming back into F1.
[51:31.560 -> 51:36.560] Have you filled out Tomo's apology form? No, I'm not ready for that yet.
[51:36.560 -> 51:42.960] But he's 3-0 in qualifying against K-Mag. He was up in P4 I think.
[51:42.960 -> 51:45.520] I think he was pretty sure it was P4.
[51:45.520 -> 51:48.060] And then they said, no, unlucky.
[51:48.060 -> 51:51.940] We didn't go across the sector one beam before the flag was thrown.
[51:51.940 -> 51:53.940] So we're going to have to go back to the grid order.
[51:53.940 -> 51:54.940] Unlucky.
[51:54.940 -> 51:55.940] Yeah.
[51:55.940 -> 51:58.240] So yeah.
[51:58.240 -> 52:01.060] So that, that was a whole, that was a whole thing.
[52:01.060 -> 52:03.460] We'll come back to that race orders and why they didn't do that.
[52:03.460 -> 52:07.640] Cause the FIA had their explanations and I'm not sold on it, so let's let's go back and
[52:07.640 -> 52:09.720] pick the meat out of the interesting topics of this.
[52:09.720 -> 52:11.840] We talked about the DRS usage.
[52:11.840 -> 52:12.840] Let's go back.
[52:12.840 -> 52:17.520] Let's let's focus on the red flags that occurred during the race and what should be done with
[52:17.520 -> 52:19.560] those because do they make sense or not?
[52:19.560 -> 52:23.840] Red flag number one lap 7 Albon.
[52:23.840 -> 52:27.620] Exit of turn 6 into 7 through the gravel.
[52:27.620 -> 52:28.380] Into the walls,
[52:28.380 -> 52:28.940] hate it,
[52:28.940 -> 52:30.280] what hate it,
[52:30.280 -> 52:30.640] hate it,
[52:30.640 -> 52:31.000] talk to me,
[52:31.000 -> 52:32.040] talk me through it.
[52:32.040 -> 52:33.320] I don't understand why we're
[52:33.320 -> 52:35.400] throwing a red for that.
[52:35.400 -> 52:37.640] It's it's some gravel on the track.
[52:37.640 -> 52:38.160] Yeah,
[52:38.160 -> 52:38.960] like did you?
[52:38.960 -> 52:41.160] Did you see the picture of it
[52:41.160 -> 52:43.640] was the Alpine that went past
[52:43.640 -> 52:45.680] the gravel rash it had from having, you know, like that proper course gravel yeeted at its speed of it was the Alpine that went past the gravel rash it had from having, you
[52:45.680 -> 52:50.440] know, like that proper course gravel yeeted at its speed as it was coming past that, you
[52:50.440 -> 52:53.280] know, 180 kilometers an hour.
[52:53.280 -> 52:59.360] That's you know why I tell you what, actually, you know why I hate this now I've given it
[52:59.360 -> 53:05.080] some thought if you're going to throw it, fine, throw it.
[53:05.080 -> 53:09.880] I hate the fact that it's been thrown after three people have pitted, Russell signs a
[53:09.880 -> 53:13.760] Magnuson and then you go, actually, let's have a red flag and let everybody who didn't
[53:13.760 -> 53:15.760] pit have a free pit stop.
[53:15.760 -> 53:19.400] So now you've fucked three people's races, potentially.
[53:19.400 -> 53:20.400] Yeah.
[53:20.400 -> 53:22.360] And that seems like one of those things you could plan for those.
[53:22.360 -> 53:26.240] It's like if a car goes, you know, look at all the spawns, like if the car goes here,
[53:26.240 -> 53:28.440] you know what, that's we're going to call that a red flag because that's going to be
[53:28.440 -> 53:29.920] difficult to recover.
[53:29.920 -> 53:33.260] Even under safety car, you're going to have them coming out of six, seven, which even
[53:33.260 -> 53:36.800] at slow paces could be quick and something could happen.
[53:36.800 -> 53:39.520] But here's the only thing that I've got against that.
[53:39.520 -> 53:41.500] Why it maybe should have been a red flag.
[53:41.500 -> 53:44.760] The only thing I can think of is.
[53:44.760 -> 53:46.120] Retrieving that car in that
[53:46.120 -> 53:52.200] position even under slower speeds could be sketchy and you have marshals in the way.
[53:52.200 -> 53:56.120] The only other thing is if the tech probe barriers actually need to be repaired because
[53:56.120 -> 54:01.080] on the broadcast I believe, don't quote me, but I thought Crofty was like, oh, it's just
[54:01.080 -> 54:04.520] a bit of gravel. That's why we've red flagged it. That doesn't make any sense. But then
[54:04.520 -> 54:08.520] I believe somebody quote me, correct me in the comments later,
[54:08.520 -> 54:12.740] if you think I'm incorrect, but I'm saying if, if the tech pro was
[54:12.740 -> 54:15.980] damaged and they needed to resort the barriers, I think that probably
[54:15.980 -> 54:18.500] makes sense and that spot is probably not a good spot for
[54:18.500 -> 54:19.660] Marshall's to be on the track.
[54:19.920 -> 54:20.220] I mean,
[54:20.620 -> 54:21.580] Yeah, that's fair.
[54:21.980 -> 54:28.580] Anything that, um, any, anything that occurs to the barrier and it
[54:28.580 -> 54:33.740] necessary necessitates, they are a big word, uh, then yeah, instant red.
[54:33.740 -> 54:34.680] I can understand that.
[54:34.840 -> 54:36.440] And I can, I can go with that.
[54:37.100 -> 54:40.600] It is, it is super frustrating for the competitors and fans though.
[54:40.600 -> 54:47.520] Like you said, for people like George to have made a relatively bold move and then just to get punished by the random number generator of,
[54:47.640 -> 54:49.080] Oh, let's just throw the flag now.
[54:49.320 -> 54:52.200] No, and no, you know what else I hate about this as well.
[54:52.800 -> 54:53.300] What's that?
[54:53.560 -> 54:58.200] The, the, there's this crazy bit of footage where everyone's like, when
[54:58.200 -> 55:01.120] they throw the red flag, basically everyone slams the anchors on around
[55:01.120 -> 55:05.080] sort of turn three and then about, I can't remember who it was,
[55:05.080 -> 55:07.740] I think it may have been Joe Guan Yu
[55:07.740 -> 55:10.560] had to like take avoidant action from someone
[55:10.560 -> 55:13.600] and then fucking Kevin Magnuson just had to absolutely
[55:13.600 -> 55:15.600] throw it through the fucking gravel track
[55:15.600 -> 55:17.040] to avoid everyone.
[55:17.040 -> 55:19.560] I think that was on the safety car restart.
[55:19.560 -> 55:20.560] Oh, was it?
[55:20.560 -> 55:22.480] Yeah, so there was the whole thing
[55:22.480 -> 55:26.920] where Lewis was making more than 10 car gap to the safety
[55:26.920 -> 55:31.920] car and he ended up backing everybody up at turn six where we just had that car go off
[55:31.920 -> 55:37.240] and you have all these people literally stationary online, people driving around each other.
[55:37.240 -> 55:40.600] And then yeah, one of the cars going through the gravel trap where we just had that huge
[55:40.600 -> 55:41.600] collision.
[55:41.600 -> 55:43.480] But I mean, it was a whole thing about that.
[55:43.480 -> 55:46.320] I got the timing wrong on that, But yeah, that's fucking stupid.
[55:46.320 -> 55:49.480] It was the same thing, but you know, people like, oh, you can't do that.
[55:49.480 -> 55:54.400] But FIA's decision on that was you have to say, I read the decision document.
[55:54.400 -> 55:55.000] It didn't make any sense.
[55:55.000 -> 55:57.760] If anybody else has read the decision document, please make it make sense to me.
[55:57.760 -> 55:59.000] I don't, I don't care what the answer is.
[55:59.000 -> 56:02.920] I'm just curious because it's, you have to stay within 10 car links, but the
[56:02.920 -> 56:04.800] lead car can dictate the pace.
[56:09.720 -> 56:12.080] So you have to stay within 10 links, but the lead car can dictate the pace. So you have to stay within 10 links, but the lead car can dictate the pace. So I was like, OK, that's interesting, but that's a weird thing.
[56:12.080 -> 56:14.260] And that was unfortunate.
[56:14.260 -> 56:19.040] But at the same time, like it doesn't matter if Lewis was he was in the right fine, but
[56:19.040 -> 56:20.360] it's just like one of those awkward things.
[56:20.360 -> 56:21.360] It's like.
[56:21.360 -> 56:26.800] Yikes, everybody's also at this point, mind you. Gone on the hard
[56:26.800 -> 56:33.560] tires. And warm up has been an issue all weekend. Everybody is trying to get some temperature
[56:33.560 -> 56:38.280] in those no grip hard tires and you look at the race pace of the race and they're just
[56:38.280 -> 56:42.160] no degradation. They're just getting faster and faster as they warm them up. So that was
[56:42.160 -> 56:46.180] pretty scary. So Red flag one, split decision.
[56:46.180 -> 56:50.160] Like if they had to repair the barriers and stuff, fine.
[56:50.160 -> 56:51.320] If not, fine.
[56:51.320 -> 56:53.360] I think it does definitely sucks
[56:53.360 -> 56:55.600] that the pit strategy got screwed
[56:55.600 -> 56:56.680] by some people up from it.
[56:56.680 -> 56:59.160] Yeah, I'll summarize that in.
[56:59.160 -> 57:00.480] I don't hate it.
[57:00.480 -> 57:02.640] I just think they're a bit slow about it.
[57:04.280 -> 57:09.720] Like if it was for gravel on track, you can fucking see the gravel from a television camera.
[57:09.720 -> 57:11.840] You don't need the safety car to drive past it.
[57:11.840 -> 57:23.200] This is the Magnuson red flag, wasn't it?
[57:23.200 -> 57:28.320] You may have to go back a bit because you dropped out for like 30 seconds for me then.
[57:28.320 -> 57:30.120] Oh, hello, I'm back.
[57:30.120 -> 57:33.920] So lap 53 red flag number two Magnuson.
[57:33.920 -> 57:35.800] What are your thoughts on this?
[57:35.800 -> 57:38.480] That looks like a red flag to me like a genuine one.
[57:38.480 -> 57:50.260] Uh, yes, I, I, you know, I'm, I'm down with that. Um, purely because the amount of rim and tire carcass on track and, uh, there's
[57:50.260 -> 57:52.760] no easy way to get onto that part of the track to remove it.
[57:52.760 -> 57:53.260] So yeah.
[57:53.320 -> 57:53.640] Yeah.
[57:53.680 -> 57:54.640] That makes sense to me.
[57:55.120 -> 57:56.500] You need marshals on the track there.
[57:56.640 -> 57:57.640] There's no way around that.
[57:58.040 -> 57:58.420] Right.
[58:00.040 -> 58:02.520] Red flag number three.
[58:06.320 -> 58:06.920] So I.
[58:08.440 -> 58:12.320] Let's focus on the red flag first, the red flag, two cars in the barrier.
[58:12.320 -> 58:13.800] Yeah, it's a red flag.
[58:13.920 -> 58:15.200] It's a red flag every day of the week.
[58:15.200 -> 58:15.440] Yeah.
[58:15.760 -> 58:18.600] So let's let's just say that's a red flag.
[58:18.760 -> 58:21.680] But here's here's the point that we really want to talk about.
[58:22.520 -> 58:25.060] What should they do in that situation with the race?
[58:25.140 -> 58:27.600] Just fucking that's what that's call it.
[58:29.640 -> 58:30.460] Just fucking end it.
[58:30.600 -> 58:32.240] Mate, it's one lap.
[58:32.780 -> 58:34.040] Either decide, fuck it.
[58:34.040 -> 58:35.760] You're just going to end it under a safety car.
[58:36.280 -> 58:36.600] Yeah.
[58:37.360 -> 58:38.320] Or just fucking end it.
[58:38.320 -> 58:42.880] So you get the, so you get the laps in, but at the same time, they couldn't
[58:42.880 -> 58:46.280] really go around another lap because there was so much stuff online outside
[58:46.280 -> 58:47.880] of the corner and stuff like that.
[58:47.880 -> 58:49.480] Fine, end it.
[58:49.480 -> 58:50.480] It's one lap.
[58:50.480 -> 58:51.480] Who gives a shit?
[58:51.480 -> 58:53.440] Yeah, that that was so stupid.
[58:53.440 -> 58:55.720] It's like they like to go through this all this whole thing.
[58:55.720 -> 59:00.000] Clean up the track, get all the Alpines, you know, bring both the men, get the cars out
[59:00.000 -> 59:03.400] of the gravel trap, bring everybody into the pit lane, have a whole shit fight, tell science
[59:03.400 -> 59:08.240] he's got a five second penalty, reset the order completely, which some people didn't agree
[59:08.240 -> 59:14.040] with how it's even processed, and then drive around behind the safety car for an outlap
[59:14.040 -> 59:15.480] to take the checkered flag.
[59:15.480 -> 59:16.480] Wow.
[59:16.480 -> 59:24.480] What the actual f- This is all part of the we don't want to end a race under a safety
[59:24.480 -> 59:26.160] car bullshit or whatever it
[59:26.160 -> 59:27.160] is, isn't it?
[59:27.160 -> 59:28.160] Yeah.
[59:28.160 -> 59:29.640] But like that, that, at that point, that doesn't make any sense.
[59:29.640 -> 59:30.640] Like I agree.
[59:30.640 -> 59:31.640] Right.
[59:31.640 -> 59:36.720] That makes sense when it was the second red flag on like lap 53 or whatever for Magnus
[59:36.720 -> 59:39.680] and you can say, okay, look, let's have five extra laps of racing.
[59:39.680 -> 59:40.680] Fine.
[59:40.680 -> 59:47.560] You know, I can, I can, I can understand that One single lap or whatever it is, what's the fucking point?
[59:47.560 -> 59:49.840] Just just call it.
[59:49.840 -> 59:50.840] Exactly.
[59:50.840 -> 59:51.840] Should have called it.
[59:51.840 -> 59:54.720] So let's let's change gears a little bit.
[59:54.720 -> 59:57.240] We've talked about the red flags.
[59:57.240 -> 01:00:00.620] Let's talk about race restarts because we got a lot of them this weekend, right?
[01:00:00.620 -> 01:00:01.800] We got a lot of different race.
[01:00:01.800 -> 01:00:02.840] We said we had the first start.
[01:00:02.840 -> 01:00:11.560] We had three red flags. How do you feel first of all about the current red flag rules and what
[01:00:11.560 -> 01:00:17.800] you can do in the pit lane? Tell me, talk me through it. So, uh, tire changes in that.
[01:00:17.800 -> 01:00:28.500] Yeah. I understand why they're there and I know why they're there and they're there to protect Pirelli in case the red
[01:00:28.500 -> 01:00:30.800] flag has been thrown because of a tire failure.
[01:00:31.740 -> 01:00:34.460] And I don't know if they want to officially say that's the reason maybe
[01:00:34.460 -> 01:00:38.280] they do officially say that's the reason, but if you work in F1, you know,
[01:00:38.280 -> 01:00:39.920] that's the reason why that exists.
[01:00:41.240 -> 01:00:41.720] That's
[01:00:43.600 -> 01:00:47.400] Blake's not going to confirm or deny in case he ever gets a job back in F1, but I'm
[01:00:47.400 -> 01:00:50.600] never going back to F1 so I can fucking say I don't give a shit.
[01:00:50.600 -> 01:00:54.560] And that is what I got to say on that.
[01:00:54.560 -> 01:01:02.640] Yeah, so I personally, it sucks because when you have a red flag, not only does it mess
[01:01:02.640 -> 01:01:05.120] up the strategy because you box everybody back up and you
[01:01:05.120 -> 01:01:09.960] have to have a restart, but then if you give people free tire choice, it's just like a
[01:01:09.960 -> 01:01:10.960] race reset.
[01:01:10.960 -> 01:01:13.200] It can be like completely and totally.
[01:01:13.200 -> 01:01:15.880] Now there's, there's another factor.
[01:01:15.880 -> 01:01:20.840] You can repair damage to your car in the pit lane under a red flag condition.
[01:01:20.840 -> 01:01:24.480] So let's say you have a complete howler and there's a, something bad happens on track
[01:01:24.480 -> 01:01:26.440] and they need 30 minutes.
[01:01:26.440 -> 01:01:29.440] And let's say that you've been involved in a little bit of a ding dong, a little toot
[01:01:29.440 -> 01:01:35.360] toot and you break a track rod, but you, you, you hobble your car back to the pit lane.
[01:01:35.360 -> 01:01:41.400] We've seen Budapest, Max changed the track rod on the grid after he slid off into the
[01:01:41.400 -> 01:01:42.400] bazzas.
[01:01:42.400 -> 01:01:45.220] Um, what do you think about that?
[01:01:46.180 -> 01:01:47.600] Should you be allowed to change?
[01:01:49.760 -> 01:01:55.600] This is a weird one again, because it's very easy to say no, if you've damaged
[01:01:55.600 -> 01:01:56.860] your car, you've damaged your car.
[01:01:56.860 -> 01:02:02.380] But then again, working in F1 and knowing what the fucking teams are like, they
[01:02:02.380 -> 01:02:07.440] would absolutely try and send out a car that was right on the line of being safe or not.
[01:02:08.160 -> 01:02:13.280] And then if I'd know wing plate or whatever flew off because they weren't
[01:02:13.280 -> 01:02:16.560] allowed to, to, to repair it or whatever.
[01:02:17.640 -> 01:02:21.040] Like, and then it'd be like, Oh, well, why didn't you let us fix it?
[01:02:21.040 -> 01:02:25.180] So, you know, it is either way.
[01:02:25.180 -> 01:02:26.340] It's it's shitty.
[01:02:26.380 -> 01:02:27.320] Like, you know what I mean?
[01:02:27.320 -> 01:02:29.020] It's dodgy either way.
[01:02:29.800 -> 01:02:32.740] I think it was, uh, I saw Jamie, Jamie price, our photographer
[01:02:32.740 -> 01:02:34.540] buddy, who's, who's awesome by the way.
[01:02:34.780 -> 01:02:38.860] Um, he's not a fan of all, but he said he's his suggestion
[01:02:38.860 -> 01:02:39.800] or somebody in his replies.
[01:02:39.800 -> 01:02:40.380] I think it was him.
[01:02:40.640 -> 01:02:42.780] He said he changed damage.
[01:02:42.920 -> 01:02:46.880] If you repair damage to your car, just go to the back on red flag.
[01:02:49.180 -> 01:02:49.640] Yeah.
[01:02:49.680 -> 01:02:50.080] Yeah.
[01:02:50.520 -> 01:02:53.400] That's one of those.
[01:02:54.280 -> 01:02:54.600] Yeah.
[01:02:56.200 -> 01:02:57.040] It's one of those things.
[01:02:57.040 -> 01:02:57.920] Every.
[01:02:59.920 -> 01:03:00.160] Okay.
[01:03:00.160 -> 01:03:04.680] So say you're at the front of the queue to get out of the pit lane.
[01:03:04.680 -> 01:03:05.840] You've changed something.
[01:03:06.700 -> 01:03:20.140] You have to get back to the back of the grid for your standing start, which means you have to fuck around on the radio to all the teams to say car number one or whatever needs to drop back to the back of the fucking pack.
[01:03:20.580 -> 01:03:26.640] But they did that under the reorder of the grid on the final red flag as well.
[01:03:26.640 -> 01:03:29.080] Because the cars had come in in different order and they're like, right, we're going
[01:03:29.080 -> 01:03:30.080] to reset the order now.
[01:03:30.080 -> 01:03:31.080] And you saw the trolleys moving.
[01:03:31.080 -> 01:03:36.760] You even saw there was one part in the video, Fernando Alonso is carrying his own tire trolley.
[01:03:36.760 -> 01:03:41.640] What a G. What an absolute G. But um, all right, well, if there's an easy way of doing
[01:03:41.640 -> 01:03:43.040] it, then yeah, I guess.
[01:03:43.040 -> 01:03:44.840] Yeah, that's, that's the only concern really.
[01:03:44.840 -> 01:03:46.200] But um, yeah, right's the only concern really, but yeah.
[01:03:46.200 -> 01:03:49.960] Right, rolling restart or standing restart?
[01:03:49.960 -> 01:03:52.160] For a red flag, standing.
[01:03:52.160 -> 01:03:56.520] I love standing, race starts give me goose bumps.
[01:03:56.520 -> 01:04:01.040] Rolling restarts give me unhappy peepee.
[01:04:01.040 -> 01:04:05.760] Rolling for safety car is kind of the way I've always pictured it.
[01:04:08.480 -> 01:04:09.680] Rolling for, yeah, rolling for a safety car, standing for a red flag.
[01:04:11.920 -> 01:04:12.560] Yeah, yeah, I get that. I'm down with that.
[01:04:17.040 -> 01:04:17.600] Shout out to all the teams, by the way, for having fucking clutch packs that managed to do
[01:04:19.520 -> 01:04:22.480] what, four standing starts in the end?
[01:04:24.160 -> 01:04:24.720] Yeah, love that. Love that.
[01:04:26.800 -> 01:04:27.800] They're all getting fucking replaced. Yeah, exactly.
[01:04:27.800 -> 01:04:29.000] New new clutch baskets.
[01:04:29.000 -> 01:04:29.600] Let's go.
[01:04:30.800 -> 01:04:33.300] So there's a there's a there's a problem.
[01:04:33.600 -> 01:04:33.800] Let's go.
[01:04:33.800 -> 01:04:37.000] Let's let's move forward to the signs penalty decision.
[01:04:37.000 -> 01:04:40.600] This was this was probably the most harsh five-second penalty
[01:04:40.600 -> 01:04:42.600] we've ever seen in Formula One history.
[01:04:43.400 -> 01:04:45.680] Carlos signs gets a four second
[01:04:45.680 -> 01:04:51.680] or sorry a five second penalty for colliding with Flonzo. The Spanish Civil
[01:04:51.680 -> 01:05:01.280] War almost started. It drops him from P4 to P12. Right, here's the thing.
[01:05:01.280 -> 01:05:05.160] I'm still undecided on whether this penalty is fair or not.
[01:05:06.760 -> 01:05:11.960] But thinking about it today, a five second penalty is the least
[01:05:12.280 -> 01:05:13.440] amount of time they can add.
[01:05:13.600 -> 01:05:18.400] The only reason it seems so harsh is because it was right at the start of
[01:05:18.400 -> 01:05:23.920] the race or whenever, and it threw him back so far, if it was like any other
[01:05:23.920 -> 01:05:27.760] part of the race, five seconds, isn't the end of the world.
[01:05:27.760 -> 01:05:33.840] So it was like, it was harsh because of the time they gave it to him sort of thing.
[01:05:33.840 -> 01:05:39.080] But in terms of a penalty, other than not giving him a penalty, that was the most lenient
[01:05:39.080 -> 01:05:40.080] they could be.
[01:05:40.080 -> 01:05:41.080] Yeah, exactly.
[01:05:41.080 -> 01:05:45.440] So you could say there's no penalty or there's a penalty, but the reason
[01:05:45.440 -> 01:05:51.280] this was so bad is because it was after the the so lap 57. There's a collision, then they
[01:05:51.280 -> 01:05:55.880] do a restart. So at the standing restart, there's collision and then there's one lap
[01:05:55.880 -> 01:06:00.160] to go and all the cars are packed up to each other doing that. You know, weird thing where
[01:06:00.160 -> 01:06:02.920] they go out behind the safety car, they just cross the finish line, they take the checkered
[01:06:02.920 -> 01:06:05.720] flag. He had five seconds applied to his lap time
[01:06:05.720 -> 01:06:09.000] from that point, drops him from P4 to P12.
[01:06:09.000 -> 01:06:11.760] So the decision, the decision document says,
[01:06:11.760 -> 01:06:13.280] blah, blah, blah, the stewards reviewed it,
[01:06:13.280 -> 01:06:16.120] the in-car radio video, blah, blah, blah,
[01:06:16.120 -> 01:06:19.560] a collision between Sainz and Alonso.
[01:06:19.560 -> 01:06:22.360] We determined that Car 55, Sainz,
[01:06:22.360 -> 01:06:24.520] was wholly to blame for the decision.
[01:06:24.520 -> 01:06:27.360] Car 14 was significantly ahead of car 55
[01:06:27.360 -> 01:06:28.200] at the first corner.
[01:06:28.200 -> 01:06:30.680] Nevertheless, car 55 drove into 14,
[01:06:30.680 -> 01:06:32.440] causing it to spin and leave the track.
[01:06:32.440 -> 01:06:37.040] We accordingly imposed a five second penalty on car 55.
[01:06:37.040 -> 01:06:37.920] For avoidance of doubt,
[01:06:37.920 -> 01:06:40.040] we took into the fact that the collision took place
[01:06:40.040 -> 01:06:41.320] at the first lap of the restart.
[01:06:41.320 -> 01:06:42.480] When by conventions,
[01:06:42.480 -> 01:06:43.760] the stewards would typically take
[01:06:43.760 -> 01:06:45.280] a more lenient view of incidents. However, in this particular case, not withstanding the fact that it was equivalent of a first lap of the restart, when by conventions, the stewards would typically take a more lenient view of incidents.
[01:06:45.600 -> 01:06:47.780] However, in this particular case, not withstanding the fact that it was a
[01:06:47.780 -> 01:06:50.680] equivalent of a first lap incident, you can consider that it was
[01:06:50.680 -> 01:06:52.360] sufficient to apply this penalty.
[01:06:52.600 -> 01:06:54.800] Five second penalties, a slap on the wrist most of the time.
[01:06:54.960 -> 01:06:55.160] Yeah.
[01:06:55.800 -> 01:06:58.000] His, his radio messages were heartbreaking.
[01:06:58.060 -> 01:06:58.440] Oh yeah.
[01:06:58.440 -> 01:07:02.760] No, I feel for the guy, but then this is like, this brings up
[01:07:02.760 -> 01:07:03.840] a whole different thing now.
[01:07:04.720 -> 01:07:05.360] Because they went back
[01:07:05.360 -> 01:07:09.880] to the starting grid or whatever, they effectively, well, they said that lap's invalidated now,
[01:07:09.880 -> 01:07:10.880] didn't they?
[01:07:10.880 -> 01:07:14.560] Well, let's, let's, let's talk about that then.
[01:07:14.560 -> 01:07:20.500] Um, Haas actually protested that restart procedure, the reordering of the grid.
[01:07:20.500 -> 01:07:26.700] They claimed, a la Silverstone last year with the show incident on lap one, they claimed that it was possible to determine
[01:07:26.700 -> 01:07:29.020] the position of all cars at safety car line two,
[01:07:29.020 -> 01:07:30.720] which is at the exit of the pit lane,
[01:07:30.720 -> 01:07:34.940] rather than reverting to the final standing start order.
[01:07:34.940 -> 01:07:38.540] The FIA basically said the GPS data is a little bit sketchy,
[01:07:38.540 -> 01:07:40.080] the timing data could have worked,
[01:07:40.080 -> 01:07:41.780] but we just took the easiest decision
[01:07:41.780 -> 01:07:42.660] because we could do that.
[01:07:42.660 -> 01:07:48.040] And we stated that it was not possible to determine clearly from the
[01:07:48.040 -> 01:07:50.640] data that we had, that was the case.
[01:07:50.980 -> 01:07:53.560] And they just explained the lap wasn't voided and it was different.
[01:07:53.560 -> 01:07:58.000] The Silverstone is they reset it because they hadn't crossed safety car line two.
[01:07:58.000 -> 01:07:58.720] It was just chaos.
[01:07:58.760 -> 01:08:01.820] And they red flagged it immediately, but the FIA probably could have
[01:08:01.820 -> 01:08:03.280] determined the order of the cars.
[01:08:04.140 -> 01:08:05.400] But they didn't want to.
[01:08:05.400 -> 01:08:08.200] Is what I read into that. Whether or not it's right, but...
[01:08:08.200 -> 01:08:13.400] The key word or phrase I found in all that was, in a timely manner.
[01:08:13.400 -> 01:08:15.000] Ooh, yeah.
[01:08:15.000 -> 01:08:21.800] So you could absolutely go back, review footage, compare it to the GPS,
[01:08:21.800 -> 01:08:26.000] because, you know, even the FIA admit the GPS isn't perfect for things like this.
[01:08:26.000 -> 01:08:30.000] But it's going to take probably an hour for them to fuck around.
[01:08:30.000 -> 01:08:33.000] Compare notes and say right here's the order.
[01:08:33.000 -> 01:08:38.000] Do you want people sitting around for an extra hour just for one fucking lap?
[01:08:38.000 -> 01:08:39.000] Here's the thing.
[01:08:39.000 -> 01:08:45.440] We were probably, I don't know how much time we were at, but there's also a three hour race limit
[01:08:45.440 -> 01:08:50.480] with stoppages and also in Melbourne it's in the evening or early afternoon or late afternoon sorry
[01:08:50.480 -> 01:08:54.560] so the sun is setting and visibility will get quite poor and it'll get quite dark. I actually
[01:08:54.560 -> 01:08:59.120] cycled around. Could be another factor of Magnusson's crash because he's on board if you look
[01:08:59.120 -> 01:09:03.200] right an on-board camera isn't the same. When he goes around that corner it's like
[01:09:03.200 -> 01:09:10.160] fucking getting flash-banged in the face. Yeah but at the same time people are saying that you can't penalize signs for something
[01:09:10.160 -> 01:09:13.360] that happened on a lap that didn't happen. They didn't say that the lap didn't happen, that's not
[01:09:13.360 -> 01:09:18.800] what happened, that's not how invalidating a lap works. They basically said they couldn't determine
[01:09:18.800 -> 01:09:23.360] the position of the cars after that so they're rolling back to the last known state. It's not
[01:09:23.360 -> 01:09:25.540] like they said it didn't happen signs
[01:09:29.020 -> 01:09:30.140] Definitely punted Alonzo and it was his fault completely
[01:09:36.340 -> 01:09:39.400] So that's that's my take it's not like they said the lap didn't happen. They said the lap happened we had to stop it because some fucking jokers couldn't drive their cars and
[01:09:40.180 -> 01:09:44.760] The best thing we can do is roll back to what we had. So I I get that completely
[01:09:42.480 -> 01:09:44.960] and the best thing we can do is roll back to what we had so I get that completely
[01:09:44.960 -> 01:09:48.000] well that's before we even get to fucking
[01:09:48.000 -> 01:09:50.000] that was only signs, we've still got
[01:09:50.000 -> 01:09:53.760] what should we go for next? Gazley and Ocon?
[01:09:53.760 -> 01:09:54.960] yeah go on
[01:09:54.960 -> 01:09:59.200] who do you think was at fault? You watched it, I'm pretty sure you saw it a couple of times
[01:09:59.200 -> 01:10:01.920] and that's not me going oh Gazley's shit
[01:10:01.920 -> 01:10:06.680] it was just Gazley because if you look at his board, he's not even looking where Ocon is.
[01:10:07.840 -> 01:10:08.120] Yeah.
[01:10:08.180 -> 01:10:11.480] He just drove, you know, drifted into him cause he didn't know he was there.
[01:10:11.480 -> 01:10:12.000] And that was it.
[01:10:12.640 -> 01:10:13.140] So.
[01:10:15.160 -> 01:10:17.560] You said it was a hundred percent Ghazly.
[01:10:17.800 -> 01:10:19.600] I feel like that's a hundred percent Ghazly.
[01:10:19.600 -> 01:10:23.080] Like he's, he's gone off on a fucking off track excursion.
[01:10:23.480 -> 01:10:26.800] He's come back on the track and just fully sintered across the track.
[01:10:26.800 -> 01:10:28.160] It's not like it's a race restart.
[01:10:28.160 -> 01:10:29.160] I'm not, it's not a dig at him.
[01:10:29.160 -> 01:10:32.760] I'm just saying these things happen.
[01:10:32.760 -> 01:10:40.800] How lucky is he to get away with no penalty points bearing in mind any penalty point would
[01:10:40.800 -> 01:10:42.480] have given him a race ban?
[01:10:42.480 -> 01:10:43.480] Yeah, exactly.
[01:10:43.480 -> 01:10:45.920] And I have a funny feeling they didn't say it out loud, but they
[01:10:45.920 -> 01:10:47.600] did, since it was team on team.
[01:10:48.080 -> 01:10:50.240] They're like, you guys have probably suffered enough.
[01:10:50.240 -> 01:10:50.840] We're not going to do it.
[01:10:51.080 -> 01:10:54.160] Uh, the stewards document said they reviewed it, uh, and they
[01:10:54.160 -> 01:10:56.200] said it was a racing incident.
[01:10:56.840 -> 01:11:00.080] So I can, sorry, no, you can, you continue.
[01:11:00.600 -> 01:11:04.480] I just don't see like, yes, I can get, you can say that's a racing incident, but
[01:11:04.480 -> 01:11:05.420] he fully
[01:11:05.420 -> 01:11:10.200] comes off from off track and then just decides to exit the corner all the way over without
[01:11:10.200 -> 01:11:14.040] looking as if there's nobody there on a race restart.
[01:11:14.040 -> 01:11:15.040] That's not great.
[01:11:15.040 -> 01:11:16.040] It's not a dig at Gatsby.
[01:11:16.040 -> 01:11:17.040] I'm just saying that's not ideal.
[01:11:17.040 -> 01:11:18.040] No.
[01:11:18.040 -> 01:11:22.740] And again, no hate here, but if you're going to penalize signs, why are you letting Gatsby
[01:11:22.740 -> 01:11:23.740] get away with that?
[01:11:23.740 -> 01:11:24.740] I don't get it.
[01:11:24.740 -> 01:11:25.880] What's the difference?
[01:11:25.880 -> 01:11:26.880] I don't get it.
[01:11:26.880 -> 01:11:32.040] Well, they said in their official statement, racing incident versus wholly to blame.
[01:11:32.040 -> 01:11:35.640] But at that point, like Gasly's just come onto the track.
[01:11:35.640 -> 01:11:40.520] Are you saying Ocon should have said, oh, Gasly looks like he's completely controlling,
[01:11:40.520 -> 01:11:43.360] he's not paying attention, like he's just been a complete goober through the gravel
[01:11:43.360 -> 01:11:44.360] trap.
[01:11:44.360 -> 01:11:47.040] Ocon should back out and let him go.
[01:11:47.040 -> 01:11:50.640] Now if you look back to that, we had Baku the other year.
[01:11:50.640 -> 01:11:52.880] The exact same thing happened with Ocon and Perez.
[01:11:52.880 -> 01:11:53.880] Don't talk to me about Baku.
[01:11:53.880 -> 01:11:56.200] Oh no, I thought he was talking about the Red Bull one.
[01:11:56.200 -> 01:11:57.200] No, no.
[01:11:57.200 -> 01:12:00.000] Ocon and Perez and Baku, teammates as well.
[01:12:00.000 -> 01:12:06.500] Ocon closed the door on Perez into the wall at the exit of three. I think it was or one of those one of the many
[01:12:06.720 -> 01:12:08.720] 90-degree corners and
[01:12:09.120 -> 01:12:14.520] Yeah, I think that should have been a ghastly thing, but okay speaking of penalties
[01:12:15.660 -> 01:12:19.880] Guess who else didn't get a penalty for anything, Florida man. Yeah, Florida, man
[01:12:20.760 -> 01:12:27.800] And we talked about this beginning here. He completely inspected Yuki's gear box at the rate.
[01:12:27.800 -> 01:12:29.140] Here's what happened.
[01:12:29.140 -> 01:12:30.880] Watch the replay standing start.
[01:12:30.880 -> 01:12:34.800] Logan has a terrible race restart and he sees he's so far back.
[01:12:34.800 -> 01:12:36.800] He sees everything happening in front of him.
[01:12:36.800 -> 01:12:38.440] He's like, holy shit.
[01:12:38.440 -> 01:12:40.280] And about that time he's like, wow, that's crazy.
[01:12:40.280 -> 01:12:43.800] You smash it in the back of Sunoda and send them both into the shadow realm.
[01:12:43.800 -> 01:12:46.560] I mean, I have done the same.
[01:12:46.560 -> 01:12:52.400] Yeah but completely at fault, completely at fault.
[01:12:52.400 -> 01:12:53.400] Nobody said anything.
[01:12:53.400 -> 01:12:55.000] It's like whatever.
[01:12:55.000 -> 01:12:56.320] It wasn't noted or anything.
[01:12:56.320 -> 01:12:58.040] No, they're just like whatever.
[01:12:58.040 -> 01:13:01.720] Chat is crucifying you because it was DeVries not Sunoda.
[01:13:01.720 -> 01:13:06.660] It wasn't DeVries, it was one of the slow cars, unfortunately. I think it was DeVries, yeah it was DeVries not Sonoda. It wasn't DeVries. It was a, it was one of the slow cars, unfortunately.
[01:13:06.660 -> 01:13:07.660] I think it was DeVries.
[01:13:07.660 -> 01:13:08.660] Yeah, it was DeVries.
[01:13:08.660 -> 01:13:10.660] So yeah, Blake knows nothing.
[01:13:10.660 -> 01:13:11.660] Fraud.
[01:13:11.660 -> 01:13:12.660] DeVries.
[01:13:12.660 -> 01:13:13.660] Yeah, at least they got the right car, right?
[01:13:13.660 -> 01:13:14.660] Yeah.
[01:13:14.660 -> 01:13:15.660] Yeah.
[01:13:15.660 -> 01:13:16.660] What more do you want?
[01:13:16.660 -> 01:13:17.660] Jesus.
[01:13:17.660 -> 01:13:18.660] Yeah, exactly.
[01:13:18.660 -> 01:13:20.940] So that was a little bit interesting that it's like one of those things where they just
[01:13:20.940 -> 01:13:23.100] don't pay attention to people at the back of the grid too much.
[01:13:23.100 -> 01:13:26.320] And they're just like, ah, yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[01:13:26.320 -> 01:13:28.120] But um, yeah, there's so much chaos.
[01:13:28.120 -> 01:13:29.720] He just got away with it.
[01:13:29.720 -> 01:13:34.960] Basically, we didn't even really talk about the race results at all.
[01:13:34.960 -> 01:13:35.960] Uh, podium.
[01:13:35.960 -> 01:13:39.960] I think it's because they're still trying to figure out the results, aren't they?
[01:13:39.960 -> 01:13:44.920] Yeah, no, we had, uh, we had Verstappen, uh, we had Hamilton second and we had another
[01:13:44.920 -> 01:13:50.800] Alonzo, uhso on the podium, but Perez from Perez
[01:13:50.800 -> 01:13:53.640] from all the way at the back.
[01:13:53.640 -> 01:13:57.560] And has a really he's got some interesting overtakes.
[01:13:57.560 -> 01:13:58.920] And that's really it.
[01:13:58.920 -> 01:14:00.040] Like we don't we don't see him.
[01:14:00.040 -> 01:14:04.400] He finishes P5 in the end question.
[01:14:04.400 -> 01:14:10.480] Sergio Perez p5. So it was it was one of those things it was just like
[01:14:11.280 -> 01:14:18.480] could he have done any better than that? I'm not sure. We interrupt this program to bring you
[01:14:18.480 -> 01:14:25.680] Madeline who's come to show us her face paint. That's fantastic.
[01:14:26.180 -> 01:14:26.760] There you go.
[01:14:27.260 -> 01:14:29.600] Hello.
[01:14:30.480 -> 01:14:31.160] Oh, dude.
[01:14:32.180 -> 01:14:32.600] So yeah, sorry.
[01:14:33.900 -> 01:14:34.000] We can edit that out, but yeah,
[01:14:34.480 -> 01:14:34.960] no, it's fine. We could leave it.
[01:14:34.960 -> 01:14:35.720] That's adorable.
[01:14:36.520 -> 01:14:38.840] Tell her, tell her it looks fantastic when you see her again.
[01:14:38.980 -> 01:14:40.240] Oh, she knows, she knows.
[01:14:40.300 -> 01:14:40.800] She knows.
[01:14:41.140 -> 01:14:41.800] That's why she was ready.
[01:14:41.800 -> 01:14:43.360] So let me show you jokers.
[01:14:43.360 -> 01:14:45.920] This you nerds talking about Formula One
[01:14:47.080 -> 01:14:50.720] But um, yeah Paris kind of had a he had a good recovery drive
[01:14:50.720 -> 01:14:53.800] I was just I was thinking he could get top five, but um
[01:14:54.600 -> 01:14:56.960] It wasn't as easy to get through everything
[01:14:58.040 -> 01:15:03.480] As we said, so no, it's just chaotic really wasn't it? I suppose. Yeah
[01:15:04.600 -> 01:15:05.000] He wasn't happy with I suppose. Um, yeah.
[01:15:06.400 -> 01:15:06.440] He wasn't happy with the car.
[01:15:08.080 -> 01:15:08.960] So yeah.
[01:15:10.560 -> 01:15:10.600] All the things that happened at the end of the race.
[01:15:13.880 -> 01:15:20.760] Did you see that on the podium, you know, like when the drivers go to the podium, their teams all the way around like, Louis rocks up and it's just his comms or PR
[01:15:20.800 -> 01:15:23.580] person standing there and he's like, where is he literally is on the camera.
[01:15:23.580 -> 01:15:24.760] And he's like, where is everybody?
[01:15:29.280 -> 01:15:33.280] And they're like, that's awkward. I think signs had that the other year where nobody showed up for the podium for him. Yes. It's like one of those
[01:15:33.280 -> 01:15:36.360] things. People try to read into all sorts of fucked up stuff. And this is like, maybe
[01:15:36.360 -> 01:15:39.520] something happened. Maybe they all had to be like, all everybody had to pack up and
[01:15:39.520 -> 01:15:46.080] be on a flight and nobody was there. I have no idea, but that's super weird.
[01:15:46.880 -> 01:15:49.340] That's super weird. Cause like, yeah, they're already on the plane home.
[01:15:49.340 -> 01:15:50.520] Cause the race took so long.
[01:15:50.520 -> 01:15:51.160] Exactly.
[01:15:51.520 -> 01:15:54.280] Uh, we had another, we had somebody else, some of the team did the race
[01:15:55.560 -> 01:15:57.000] and it wasn't a driver or a team.
[01:15:59.520 -> 01:16:01.240] It was the Australian grand pre.
[01:16:01.240 -> 01:16:02.040] Corporation.
[01:16:02.680 -> 01:16:02.880] Yeah.
[01:16:02.880 -> 01:16:03.240] Sorry.
[01:16:03.240 -> 01:16:03.480] Yeah.
[01:16:03.480 -> 01:16:03.720] Yeah.
[01:16:03.720 -> 01:16:03.960] Yeah.
[01:16:03.960 -> 01:16:04.360] Of course.
[01:16:04.360 -> 01:16:05.640] How could I forget about this?
[01:16:06.240 -> 01:16:10.200] On, on the footage there are, uh, there's final lap.
[01:16:10.760 -> 01:16:15.400] There are fans standing on the grass on the side of the track.
[01:16:15.640 -> 01:16:16.000] Yeah.
[01:16:16.600 -> 01:16:18.400] What the fuck man.
[01:16:18.440 -> 01:16:19.080] That is crazy.
[01:16:19.080 -> 01:16:19.640] That's insane.
[01:16:20.040 -> 01:16:20.840] That's insane.
[01:16:22.080 -> 01:16:23.120] That's so insane.
[01:16:23.120 -> 01:16:28.840] So, uh, also at the end of the final, the in lap Hulkenberg stops on the track.
[01:16:29.480 -> 01:16:32.280] On turn two, there's lights on top of the roll hoop.
[01:16:32.300 -> 01:16:36.280] They're like purple green, or when they're red and flashing, that means the car is in
[01:16:36.280 -> 01:16:38.760] a electrically unsafe state.
[01:16:39.200 -> 01:16:42.760] And if you touch it, you risk grounding out and getting an
[01:16:42.760 -> 01:16:44.020] errors pack through your ass.
[01:16:44.040 -> 01:16:45.360] And that will
[01:16:45.360 -> 01:16:49.340] result in heart failure or other very terrible things.
[01:16:49.340 -> 01:16:51.960] It will literally vaporize you.
[01:16:51.960 -> 01:16:56.200] The amount of fucking current that is stored in those things, you do not fuck around with
[01:16:56.200 -> 01:16:57.200] them.
[01:16:57.200 -> 01:16:58.920] No, that is so stupid.
[01:16:58.920 -> 01:17:04.960] So that car which was in Curze State Echo, I believe is the state for...
[01:17:04.960 -> 01:17:05.720] Bad.
[01:17:05.720 -> 01:17:06.720] Yeah, bad.
[01:17:06.720 -> 01:17:10.400] It was parked on a flatbed in the middle of the area where the fans could get to.
[01:17:10.400 -> 01:17:16.520] So the FIA referred, they heard them and the Australian Grand Prix Corporation was like,
[01:17:16.520 -> 01:17:18.120] yeah, we kind of fucked up.
[01:17:18.120 -> 01:17:22.160] And they've been referred to the FIA World Motorsport Council for being a bunch of clowns.
[01:17:22.160 -> 01:17:23.160] That's insane.
[01:17:23.160 -> 01:17:24.160] Oh dear.
[01:17:24.160 -> 01:17:26.040] And this isn't the first time this has happened.
[01:17:26.200 -> 01:17:28.120] When was the, wait, when's the last time they got referred?
[01:17:28.920 -> 01:17:33.520] Uh, well, I don't know if they got referred, but it was either when he
[01:17:34.080 -> 01:17:35.400] could be raised there in 21.
[01:17:35.960 -> 01:17:37.280] I can't know.
[01:17:38.280 -> 01:17:39.800] There's the footage of.
[01:17:41.680 -> 01:17:46.480] It may have been last year, actually, where I think Albin's driving out the pit lane and
[01:17:46.480 -> 01:17:51.480] there's just a bunch of people just walking up the pit lane.
[01:17:51.480 -> 01:17:52.480] Wow.
[01:17:52.480 -> 01:17:53.480] Yeah.
[01:17:53.480 -> 01:17:54.480] Wow.
[01:17:54.480 -> 01:17:55.480] Anyway, that's actually, was it 2017?
[01:17:55.480 -> 01:17:56.480] Was it that long ago?
[01:17:56.480 -> 01:17:57.480] Jesus.
[01:17:57.480 -> 01:17:58.480] Okay.
[01:17:58.480 -> 01:18:01.480] I thought it was a lot more recent than that, but okay.
[01:18:01.480 -> 01:18:02.480] Yeah.
[01:18:02.480 -> 01:18:09.400] So they've got some security issues at the circuit. Very interesting. But but I feel like that's like the race result itself wasn't that interesting.
[01:18:09.400 -> 01:18:16.000] It was mostly drama and it was an effectively terrible race with some some cool burnouts
[01:18:16.000 -> 01:18:17.000] and race restarts.
[01:18:17.000 -> 01:18:21.920] Yeah, but you know what this means?
[01:18:21.920 -> 01:18:26.320] Hallelujah McLaren fans, your prayers have been answered.
[01:18:26.320 -> 01:18:28.000] Oh yes.
[01:18:28.000 -> 01:18:31.360] Double points finish, ladies and gentlemen, for the McLaren.
[01:18:31.360 -> 01:18:32.360] Let's go.
[01:18:32.360 -> 01:18:35.160] McLaren move off the back up into P5.
[01:18:35.160 -> 01:18:39.520] They are behind Ferrari, who only have 26 championship points.
[01:18:39.520 -> 01:18:40.520] Oh my God.
[01:18:40.520 -> 01:18:47.600] Mercedes 56, Aston Martin, Mercedes, Romco, Cognizant, the Cogn Cognizant off that name is it or is it not
[01:18:47.600 -> 01:18:54.040] anyway 65 Red Bull 123 so Red Bull have got win win win and seconds and a fifth Aston
[01:18:54.040 -> 01:19:00.520] Martin have three threes Alonzo has three threes unfortunately stroll has had a retirement
[01:19:00.520 -> 01:19:08.800] in the last race otherwise they'd be a little bit closer to the Red Bulls. I reckon so pretty sick Mercedes less than half the points of the Red Bull right now
[01:19:08.800 -> 01:19:10.780] and getting beat by their customer team.
[01:19:10.800 -> 01:19:12.560] Can they hold it off through the end of the season?
[01:19:13.440 -> 01:19:14.320] I think it's possible.
[01:19:14.560 -> 01:19:15.720] Development wars.
[01:19:15.800 -> 01:19:16.800] Here we go, baby.
[01:19:18.240 -> 01:19:18.800] And I don't know.
[01:19:18.800 -> 01:19:23.800] Mercedes seemed to be quite sort of over the 14 already, don't they?
[01:19:24.600 -> 01:19:28.640] Yeah, it could happen and they could reap higher
[01:19:28.640 -> 01:19:31.440] development time for the next season as a result of it.
[01:19:31.440 -> 01:19:33.360] So this is the problem with the cost cap.
[01:19:33.360 -> 01:19:36.360] I mean I understand why it exists and all that,
[01:19:36.360 -> 01:19:39.680] it makes sense but when you have a car
[01:19:39.680 -> 01:19:42.860] that's so far out in front as the Red Bull,
[01:19:42.860 -> 01:19:44.660] now you've got to adhere to cost caps.
[01:19:44.660 -> 01:19:48.400] It's a lot more difficult to make that decision to say, Hey, should we
[01:19:48.400 -> 01:19:54.680] develop to try and catch up or do we scrap this year after race
[01:19:54.680 -> 01:19:56.280] free and try again next year?
[01:19:56.320 -> 01:19:56.800] It's
[01:19:57.600 -> 01:20:01.760] it's like, it's like if you screw up that bad, yeah, you might have to do that.
[01:20:02.380 -> 01:20:04.920] But, um, we didn't do podium picks this week.
[01:20:05.000 -> 01:20:06.000] No fraudulent.
[01:20:06.000 -> 01:20:08.000] We completely forgot that.
[01:20:08.000 -> 01:20:12.900] Yeah, what were your vibes before the week in my race was for staff and Alonzo Russell.
[01:20:12.900 -> 01:20:13.900] That was my vibe.
[01:20:13.900 -> 01:20:17.000] Yeah, mine was for staff and Hamilton Alonzo.
[01:20:17.000 -> 01:20:18.000] Okay.
[01:20:18.000 -> 01:20:22.000] I was either, but no, it wasn't.
[01:20:22.000 -> 01:20:28.000] It was for staff and it was for staffan Hamilton and Alonzo on the podium.
[01:20:28.000 -> 01:20:29.000] Oh yeah fine.
[01:20:29.000 -> 01:20:30.000] Yeah.
[01:20:30.000 -> 01:20:32.000] You made me doubt myself then.
[01:20:32.000 -> 01:20:33.000] I did.
[01:20:33.000 -> 01:20:36.000] It could have been Hulkenberg though.
[01:20:36.000 -> 01:20:37.000] Amazing.
[01:20:37.000 -> 01:20:38.000] Amazing.
[01:20:38.000 -> 01:20:42.000] I tell you what everyone brace yourselves.
[01:20:42.000 -> 01:20:48.020] I hope my wife's not listening
[01:20:48.020 -> 01:20:54.420] Hulkenberg gets a podium this year I'm gonna get a Hulkenberg related tattoo
[01:20:54.420 -> 01:21:02.380] are you seriously don't fucking do that don't do that self on my ass cheek
[01:21:11.680 -> 01:21:17.600] cheek. Don't do it. Done. All right, clip it, clip it, ship it, chat. It's happening. Oh my God. Oh my God. I don't want to don't show it to me. He can't show it's not safe for
[01:21:17.600 -> 01:21:21.400] work. Why don't we, why don't we move on? I'll never be able to show it to anyone really.
[01:21:21.400 -> 01:21:28.840] Yeah, that's fine. So who would know? Oh wouldn't be able to confirm or deny it. Oh my god. Yeah it's Mr. Big Man saying patiently
[01:21:28.840 -> 01:21:33.400] waiting for Dan! From the background. Yeah if I disappear off the podcast you know my
[01:21:33.400 -> 01:21:37.800] wife's unplugged the internet. Yeah that's fine. Why don't we move on to one of our favorite
[01:21:37.800 -> 01:21:41.000] segments that we share with everybody every week.
[01:21:41.000 -> 01:21:45.560] Nope. That's the ad. Let's try this again.
[01:21:45.560 -> 01:22:01.920] Fucking hell, 21 episodes and I still got no idea what I'm doing.
[01:22:01.920 -> 01:22:07.920] This is the part of the show where we select at random a team to represent for the weekend.
[01:22:07.920 -> 01:22:11.540] Obviously trying to beat the horrible disgusting Red Bull buyers that we have been accused
[01:22:11.540 -> 01:22:15.600] of because they paid our mortgages for several years.
[01:22:15.600 -> 01:22:18.080] And then we're going to give a little report about it.
[01:22:18.080 -> 01:22:22.720] So for the Australian Grand Prix, Blake, you're up first and you had Aston Martin.
[01:22:22.720 -> 01:22:24.400] Oh, hello.
[01:22:24.400 -> 01:22:28.680] Yeah. Aston Martin's report card this weekend looks very good.
[01:22:28.680 -> 01:22:32.600] They finished the Grand Prix in P3 and P4.
[01:22:32.600 -> 01:22:37.960] Alonso held Hamilton's wheel the entire main part of the race, which was, he was within
[01:22:37.960 -> 01:22:43.760] DRS a lot, trying to force a mistake, didn't have the pace for the master.
[01:22:43.760 -> 01:22:46.140] Stroll dropped a little back from Perez,
[01:22:46.140 -> 01:22:49.180] but he did manage to take advantage of the chaos
[01:22:49.180 -> 01:22:50.080] when he was there.
[01:22:51.060 -> 01:22:52.800] The Aston Martin's qualifying pace,
[01:22:52.800 -> 01:22:53.860] as we know from the performance,
[01:22:53.860 -> 01:22:57.060] was not going to be up to this week.
[01:22:57.060 -> 01:22:59.660] And we knew this inefficient, slow, and straight line car
[01:22:59.660 -> 01:23:02.560] with the three, four DRS zones wasn't gonna be great.
[01:23:02.560 -> 01:23:06.840] But yeah, Alonzo with his third podium in a row,
[01:23:06.840 -> 01:23:09.440] Aston Martin in second in the World Constructors
[01:23:09.440 -> 01:23:12.600] Championships ahead of Mercedes.
[01:23:12.600 -> 01:23:15.940] I feel like they did a very good job
[01:23:15.940 -> 01:23:17.800] with the exception of getting super, super lucky.
[01:23:17.800 -> 01:23:20.040] I think Aston Martin did a solid weekend.
[01:23:20.040 -> 01:23:21.760] I'll give them an A plus.
[01:23:23.760 -> 01:23:24.600] Wow.
[01:23:25.080 -> 01:23:26.120] Yeah. I'll give them an A plus. Wow. That's yeah.
[01:23:27.240 -> 01:23:29.440] That is top marks, top draw for that one.
[01:23:31.720 -> 01:23:33.280] Uh, I had Alpine.
[01:23:34.560 -> 01:23:36.760] Um, so they look, I'm sorry.
[01:23:36.920 -> 01:23:37.720] No, no, no, no, no.
[01:23:37.720 -> 01:23:38.160] It's fine.
[01:23:38.160 -> 01:23:38.680] It's fine.
[01:23:38.720 -> 01:23:40.520] There's positives to take away from this, right?
[01:23:40.680 -> 01:23:41.040] Okay.
[01:23:41.280 -> 01:23:43.440] They looked pretty quick on Friday.
[01:23:43.760 -> 01:23:44.960] Good pace, good pace.
[01:23:48.520 -> 01:23:49.420] Saturday, the qualifying preparation sort of stuff them a little bit.
[01:23:49.420 -> 01:23:50.180] It weren't great.
[01:23:50.680 -> 01:23:51.220] It's tires.
[01:23:51.220 -> 01:23:51.600] Wasn't it?
[01:23:51.700 -> 01:23:52.340] Yeah.
[01:23:52.600 -> 01:23:52.980] Yeah.
[01:23:53.040 -> 01:23:56.000] But however, they had a pretty good race, right.
[01:23:56.000 -> 01:24:03.720] In terms of both cars into points, I think at the, at the time of the last
[01:24:03.720 -> 01:24:07.840] restart or sorry, the restart before everything destroyed itself
[01:24:07.840 -> 01:24:15.360] they were Gasly in fifth Ocon in 10th so you know not bad not bad good yeah all right yeah all right
[01:24:15.360 -> 01:24:29.160] good pace good pace uh unfortunately though this is sadly where it went a little bit tits up with the incident. It is a incident, le incident as it's now referred to in France.
[01:24:29.160 -> 01:24:34.760] Obviously double DNF, bit of a disaster sadly.
[01:24:34.760 -> 01:24:41.240] And probably more importantly, it's allowed McLaren to jump past them for
[01:24:41.240 -> 01:24:43.240] fifth in the world championship constructors.
[01:24:43.240 -> 01:24:46.320] It is the fourth loser though, isn't it?
[01:24:46.400 -> 01:24:46.920] Yeah.
[01:24:46.960 -> 01:24:53.080] I mean, if let's say in a hypothetical scenario, they didn't smash into each
[01:24:53.080 -> 01:24:57.720] other and Gasly finished fifth and knock on 10th, signs magically still gets his
[01:24:57.720 -> 01:25:01.280] penalty, then it would have already put them seven points behind Ferrari for fourth.
[01:25:02.480 -> 01:25:03.680] Oh my God.
[01:25:03.800 -> 01:25:12.880] So, you know, oh my God, could have been, but, um, I'll give them, I think I'd have to give
[01:25:12.880 -> 01:25:17.600] them a C cause it's like average, you know, promising, promising signs, but
[01:25:18.160 -> 01:25:19.920] they basically just need to not crash into each other.
[01:25:22.080 -> 01:25:22.480] Cool.
[01:25:23.120 -> 01:25:25.000] Why don't we, listen, here you go. Listen, I just remembered this.
[01:25:25.000 -> 01:25:31.000] Someone on Twitter asked this question and I thought it was spicy and I had to ask it.
[01:25:31.000 -> 01:25:32.000] Oh.
[01:25:32.000 -> 01:25:37.000] Who gets a podium first this year, Alpine or Ferrari?
[01:25:37.000 -> 01:25:41.120] God, dude, don't do that to me.
[01:25:41.120 -> 01:25:42.120] It's going to be Ferrari, bro.
[01:25:42.120 -> 01:25:43.120] You think?
[01:25:43.120 -> 01:25:44.120] Yeah.
[01:25:44.120 -> 01:25:45.300] Fine. Fuck you. I'm going out. Ping.
[01:25:45.520 -> 01:25:45.840] Oh yeah.
[01:25:45.840 -> 01:25:46.600] For the vibes.
[01:25:46.960 -> 01:25:47.460] Yeah.
[01:25:47.460 -> 01:25:47.960] All right.
[01:25:48.360 -> 01:25:50.120] I thought that was a beautiful question.
[01:25:51.200 -> 01:25:51.720] Not bad.
[01:25:51.720 -> 01:25:53.680] And, uh, so we can content farm.
[01:25:54.080 -> 01:25:56.240] Let me know what you think in the comments or whatever it is.
[01:25:56.240 -> 01:25:58.400] The fucking kids say these days, I don't fucking know.
[01:25:58.400 -> 01:26:00.480] Like, and subscribe, hit the bell, whatever.
[01:26:01.120 -> 01:26:03.160] Big up your local butcher shout out in Nan.
[01:26:04.640 -> 01:26:05.160] Exactly.
[01:26:05.160 -> 01:26:08.760] Well, if we're on the live stream and if any of the mods can do a poll, who will
[01:26:08.760 -> 01:26:12.240] get that podium first, Alpena Ferrari, we'll, we'll tell you the results, but
[01:26:12.280 -> 01:26:16.480] all nearly 300 of you in the live stream right now think about that.
[01:26:16.480 -> 01:26:18.880] But I think it's time for a
[01:26:31.680 -> 01:26:38.600] Fraud Watch. Oh my God, Michael, that that sound clip is great. So fraud watch is where we put somebody on blast for the weekend for just just being
[01:26:38.600 -> 01:26:39.600] terrible.
[01:26:39.600 -> 01:26:47.120] It could be a person, a team, but we've got a little thing where if a team or somebody goes three times
[01:26:47.120 -> 01:26:50.640] in a season, they go into the shadow realm. I don't know. We got to figure out what to
[01:26:50.640 -> 01:26:57.020] do with them, but yeah, we'll come back to that. So throughout testing, you have elected
[01:26:57.020 -> 01:27:05.840] McLaren, McLaren, Ferrari. And then I've elected Alpine Ferrari and the FIA. So Ferrari are on two ticks
[01:27:05.840 -> 01:27:08.280] and we said it would be the cumulative sum.
[01:27:08.280 -> 01:27:09.120] So-
[01:27:09.120 -> 01:27:11.200] Yeah, McLaren are on two ticks too.
[01:27:11.200 -> 01:27:15.520] Yeah, McLaren and Ferrari are on two burners.
[01:27:15.520 -> 01:27:17.800] So why don't you give us your race three
[01:27:17.800 -> 01:27:20.320] Australia fraud watch?
[01:27:20.320 -> 01:27:21.160] Okay.
[01:27:21.160 -> 01:27:22.840] Fraud watch.
[01:27:22.840 -> 01:27:28.720] Given the shit show we saw, it would be very easy to turn around and say the FIA
[01:27:30.320 -> 01:27:34.680] However, I'm gonna be more granular than just blindly put in the FIA
[01:27:35.520 -> 01:27:37.520] I'm gonna say the race director
[01:27:38.400 -> 01:27:42.680] Who was it this weekend? I don't know but I think a lot of this shit could have been prevented or
[01:27:44.000 -> 01:27:45.440] tidied up let's say
[01:27:47.440 -> 01:27:53.120] with perhaps maybe... fuck it it could have been Michael Massey you know he was spotted in the
[01:27:53.120 -> 01:27:59.680] paddock maybe he came back for some shits and gigs but yeah no I think sorry I think this
[01:27:59.680 -> 01:28:05.320] one lays on the doorstep of the race direction for this one. Wow.
[01:28:05.320 -> 01:28:09.280] I think that's a little bit harsh, but I've got an even more.
[01:28:09.280 -> 01:28:12.320] Fuck you, this is my podcast, I'll do what I want.
[01:28:12.320 -> 01:28:13.320] Exactly.
[01:28:13.320 -> 01:28:17.040] I've got an even more unfortunate one.
[01:28:17.040 -> 01:28:19.400] I'm putting Ferrari on blast this weekend.
[01:28:19.400 -> 01:28:23.000] Oh, Ferrari on Fraud Watch, they've got three ticks, we've got to figure out what to do
[01:28:23.000 -> 01:28:24.000] with them.
[01:28:24.000 -> 01:28:26.680] And as the poll from the chat has just come back,
[01:28:26.680 -> 01:28:28.800] 57% of you said Ferrari first.
[01:28:28.800 -> 01:28:31.340] And that's not an overwhelming majority either.
[01:28:31.340 -> 01:28:33.280] In my opinion, that's not a, yeah.
[01:28:33.280 -> 01:28:38.280] So like, they, Ferrari, let's talk about this.
[01:28:38.600 -> 01:28:40.880] Ferrari is an elite Formula One team.
[01:28:40.880 -> 01:28:42.180] They are not a shit box.
[01:28:42.180 -> 01:28:43.960] They are not, you know, a death trap.
[01:28:43.960 -> 01:28:49.440] They're not a shed. They shouldn't be. And they're rocking out this weekend and they don't know
[01:28:49.440 -> 01:28:54.320] what they're doing with the tires, which happens, but they massively lose out and they massively
[01:28:54.320 -> 01:29:07.400] underperform in qualifying. Leclerc. I just want to say it is unfore racing incident, but Leclerc loses out and then signs boneheads the race restart
[01:29:07.400 -> 01:29:08.400] at the end.
[01:29:08.400 -> 01:29:15.320] And I don't know, man, like that for me, Ferrari have to be on Fraud Watch this week.
[01:29:15.320 -> 01:29:21.380] It's like the drivers, maybe one of them wholly at fault, the other one, a bit of a passenger,
[01:29:21.380 -> 01:29:24.320] but they just need to ride off this season.
[01:29:24.320 -> 01:29:25.320] I'm sorry. a bit of a passenger but they just need to write off the season sorry well I
[01:29:25.320 -> 01:29:31.200] see it Ferrari will be sentenced in the next episode because mmm that's their
[01:29:31.200 -> 01:29:38.520] free ticks and they're done yep very own race free fucking out there but it's
[01:29:38.520 -> 01:29:45.000] just right though it's what they're like they're worst they worst, what do you want to call it?
[01:29:46.000 -> 01:29:49.240] Start to a season since the new points system
[01:29:49.240 -> 01:29:51.320] came into place in 2010.
[01:29:51.320 -> 01:29:52.140] Yeah.
[01:29:52.140 -> 01:29:53.760] Which is wild when you consider
[01:29:53.760 -> 01:29:56.120] how well they started last year.
[01:29:56.120 -> 01:29:57.120] Yeah.
[01:29:57.120 -> 01:29:59.040] Somebody in chat says,
[01:29:59.040 -> 01:30:00.720] congrats to Alpine for taking each other out
[01:30:00.720 -> 01:30:01.920] and still missing Fraud Watch.
[01:30:01.920 -> 01:30:02.760] Yeah.
[01:30:02.760 -> 01:30:03.760] Yeah.
[01:30:03.760 -> 01:30:05.240] It do be like that sometimes.
[01:30:05.440 -> 01:30:06.160] It do be do.
[01:30:07.360 -> 01:30:10.280] But why don't we move on to, uh,
[01:30:11.800 -> 01:30:13.760] Oh, you think he's a good boy.
[01:30:13.800 -> 01:30:14.520] I am.
[01:30:14.640 -> 01:30:15.520] I'm a good boy.
[01:30:16.720 -> 01:30:17.280] Engine mode.
[01:30:17.280 -> 01:30:17.720] Good boy.
[01:30:17.720 -> 01:30:21.680] Where we, you know, we've, we've rubbed a couple people or
[01:30:21.680 -> 01:30:23.400] teams or organizations in the mud.
[01:30:23.940 -> 01:30:25.820] Now we need to get big up some people.
[01:30:26.320 -> 01:30:27.020] Let's talk about it.
[01:30:27.780 -> 01:30:28.340] Let's talk about it.
[01:30:28.420 -> 01:30:29.140] Yeah, we do.
[01:30:29.140 -> 01:30:32.300] So this is like you say, where we big up, big up something or
[01:30:32.300 -> 01:30:35.820] someone, um, for the weekend.
[01:30:35.860 -> 01:30:44.540] So in testing I've had, um, Joe, Bahrain, Alonzo, Jeddah, Sonoda, uh, for Australia.
[01:30:44.740 -> 01:30:45.480] Hear me out.
[01:30:46.160 -> 01:30:48.520] I've been very critical of them in the past.
[01:30:50.200 -> 01:30:55.800] However, I think it's only fair that I should celebrate their
[01:30:55.800 -> 01:30:57.360] success as well as their downfall.
[01:30:58.440 -> 01:31:00.080] So I'm giving it to McLaren.
[01:31:01.160 -> 01:31:01.760] Wow.
[01:31:02.720 -> 01:31:06.240] Double points finish catapulted them to fifth in the standards.
[01:31:07.040 -> 01:31:07.540] Yeah.
[01:31:07.840 -> 01:31:11.880] You know, I think scrappy weekend, but they got the point.
[01:31:11.880 -> 01:31:12.380] It mattered.
[01:31:12.380 -> 01:31:12.960] Who cares?
[01:31:12.960 -> 01:31:14.560] They got points and they're in fifth.
[01:31:15.760 -> 01:31:18.320] So, you know, I'll give it to them.
[01:31:21.280 -> 01:31:21.780] Not bad.
[01:31:21.780 -> 01:31:22.280] I get it.
[01:31:22.320 -> 01:31:23.640] Now it's, it's sound.
[01:31:23.640 -> 01:31:25.040] It's a little bit surprising, I think for a lot of people listening, like, why would you gas them up? But like, yeah, they wouldn't, wouldn I get it. Now it's it's sound. It's a little bit surprising.
[01:31:25.040 -> 01:31:26.880] I think for a lot of people listening, like why would you gas them up?
[01:31:26.880 -> 01:31:28.400] But like, yeah, they wouldn't count it.
[01:31:28.400 -> 01:31:31.080] They got the points together and happy days.
[01:31:31.080 -> 01:31:32.240] I've unfortunately.
[01:31:32.240 -> 01:31:40.520] He had a crash in the race, but I gotta give it up to the man Alex.
[01:31:40.520 -> 01:31:45.240] Like that he's out driving that car in my opinion
[01:31:52.800 -> 01:31:58.560] Williams saw the biggest improvement in qualifying pace of any team this season from their previous race average And I think that was wholly down to sector 2 merchant Alexander Albon
[01:31:59.360 -> 01:32:01.160] he had
[01:32:01.160 -> 01:32:03.400] Exactly. He almost had a perfect weekend
[01:32:04.520 -> 01:32:08.640] unfortunately, like I, yeah, him feeling a bit of a passenger in that incident in the
[01:32:08.640 -> 01:32:09.640] race.
[01:32:09.640 -> 01:32:11.200] That's not really an Alex thing to do.
[01:32:11.200 -> 01:32:12.920] And I don't know if it was even his fault.
[01:32:12.920 -> 01:32:19.520] It could have been he was driving fine, but he hauled that Williams up in the qualifying
[01:32:19.520 -> 01:32:21.800] order and he was driving pretty well until that happened.
[01:32:21.800 -> 01:32:25.100] So unlucky for him, but I uh, I want to give some, uh, some credit to him.
[01:32:25.380 -> 01:32:28.400] Honorable shout out to Sonoda.
[01:32:29.320 -> 01:32:29.700] Okay.
[01:32:29.900 -> 01:32:32.140] And whole Nico Hulkenberg.
[01:32:32.980 -> 01:32:33.340] Yeah.
[01:32:33.740 -> 01:32:36.440] I'm not, I'm not ready to admit defeat just yet.
[01:32:37.420 -> 01:32:40.060] To be fair though, I think I did say I'd give him three races.
[01:32:41.300 -> 01:32:46.880] And he's, he's three nilled, uh, Kevin in qualifying head to head.
[01:32:46.880 -> 01:32:50.480] Listen Baku, let Baku be the decider.
[01:32:50.480 -> 01:32:51.600] Well done Baku.
[01:32:51.600 -> 01:32:57.240] And then I will grovelly post an apology that I was wrong about Niko being mid and washed.
[01:32:57.240 -> 01:33:00.560] You just have to fill out TomOF1's form on the YouTube.
[01:33:00.560 -> 01:33:05.120] No, I will do it in my own special way. Like I always do.
[01:33:05.120 -> 01:33:06.120] Okay.
[01:33:06.120 -> 01:33:07.120] All right.
[01:33:07.120 -> 01:33:09.120] So I think that's us, isn't it?
[01:33:09.120 -> 01:33:10.120] For the day?
[01:33:10.120 -> 01:33:11.120] Yeah.
[01:33:11.120 -> 01:33:12.120] A chaotic race.
[01:33:12.120 -> 01:33:13.120] Yeah.
[01:33:13.120 -> 01:33:16.200] With a chaotic podcast to sign off with a flourish.
[01:33:16.200 -> 01:33:17.200] Yeah.
[01:33:17.200 -> 01:33:18.600] So we're going to take a break next week.
[01:33:18.600 -> 01:33:20.600] It's a bank holiday.
[01:33:20.600 -> 01:33:21.600] Monday.
[01:33:21.600 -> 01:33:22.600] I need a break.

[01:33:25.760 -> 01:33:27.900] Well, we should do a cool show for the Baku preview, because I feel like
[01:33:27.900 -> 01:33:32.900] there's been some absolute fucking bangers in Baku history, some ghosts,
[01:33:32.940 -> 01:33:36.720] some gremlins, and we'll do the Red Bull PTSD.

[01:33:56.080 -> 01:33:58.920] about our podcast so they can see how crap we are
