Here's a detailed summary of the podcast episode's transcript:
**News:**
* **Pirelli Tire Changes:** Pirelli is introducing new, tougher tires from the British Grand Prix to address the rapid performance escalation in Formula One cars. The new tires will have different construction materials, but the compounds will remain the same. The FIA pushed for this change as a safety measure, but Pirelli claims it's not a safety concern and is intended to prevent problems later in the season. Teams will test the new tires in FP1 and FP2 at the Spanish Grand Prix.
* **Toto Wolff and Valtteri Bottas Reunion:** Toto Wolff, former team principal of Mercedes, and Valtteri Bottas, former Mercedes driver, are reuniting, though not in a racing capacity. Wolff will serve as Bottas' manager again, a role he held before Bottas joined Mercedes. This move is possible because Bottas is now driving for Alfa Romeo.
* **Alpine Turmoil:** Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi has publicly criticized the team's performance, putting pressure on Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer. Rossi stated that the team should be capable of maintaining its fourth-place position from last year, and he expects Szafnauer to take responsibility for the team's current struggles.
* **Formula One Calendar Changes:** Stefano Domenicali, CEO of Formula One, has indicated that the calendar may undergo changes to make it more logical and reduce travel. The goal is to regionalize the calendar, with races grouped geographically to minimize long-haul flights. However, existing contracts and date commitments may limit the extent of these changes.
* **Imola Ticket Discounts:** The Imola Grand Prix is offering discounted tickets, suggesting that ticket sales may not be meeting expectations.
**Engine Breaking Team News:**
* Dan has entered three teams into the Le Mans 24-hour endurance event under the Engine Breaking and Braking Engine banners.
* In the prologue race, one of the Engine Breaking team's cars, driven solo by Dimitris of Car and Driver Greece, secured P1.
* The second Engine Breaking team finished in P5 with a clean race, avoiding penalties and track limits issues.
* The third team experienced a crash, resulting in P10.
* Dan has received overwhelming interest in joining his teams for the 24-hour race and has had to create three teams to accommodate everyone.
* The 24-hour race will take place on May 27th, and Dan will be streaming it live on Twitch.
* Dan is also streaming in the week leading up to the race to raise funds for Samaritans, a UK-based suicide prevention hotline.

[00:00.000 -> 00:08.760] You're listening to the most fraudulent F1 podcast with Dan, a.k.a. Engine Mode 11.
[00:08.760 -> 00:12.160] I secretly moonlight and tell what Marco race begins.
[00:12.160 -> 00:14.160] And Blake, a.k.a. Break.
[00:14.160 -> 00:17.320] Echo chambers of farts and idiots on Twitter after races.
[00:17.320 -> 00:21.000] It's the engine breaking F1 podcast.
[00:21.000 -> 00:26.400] Oh, my God. we're here.
[00:26.400 -> 00:27.400] We're here.
[00:27.400 -> 00:28.400] You feeling it?
[00:28.400 -> 00:31.120] Sure, why not?
[00:31.120 -> 00:33.280] Welcome to the engine breaking podcast.
[00:33.280 -> 00:34.280] My name is Blake.
[00:34.280 -> 00:37.080] I am joined by Dan, a.k.a.
[00:37.080 -> 00:43.280] Engine Mode 11, two former Formula One engineers talking trash about Formula One every week
[00:43.280 -> 00:44.760] for you.
[00:44.760 -> 00:48.360] We recording live right now on Twitch and you will probably be
[00:48.360 -> 00:50.440] listening to this on Spotify, MySpace.
[00:50.720 -> 00:54.680] Uh, do we start the only only Formula Ones yet?
[00:54.680 -> 00:55.840] Or have we thought about that?
[00:55.880 -> 00:58.920] No, I'm in the middle of priming and launching my only dads.
[00:59.480 -> 01:00.480] OK, nice.
[01:00.520 -> 01:03.480] It's just going to be images of me cutting the grass shirtless
[01:03.480 -> 01:04.160] and things like that.
[01:05.600 -> 01:10.160] What about the you in the paddling pool with doing the big flex?
[01:10.160 -> 01:10.480] Yeah.
[01:10.480 -> 01:11.080] Showing the gun.
[01:12.120 -> 01:12.880] We're the fraud.
[01:12.880 -> 01:16.520] He talks, you know, we, we need to get that thing, uh, 3d printed and
[01:16.600 -> 01:18.280] offer it up as a reward, the fraud.
[01:18.840 -> 01:24.720] Um, so welcome to the, uh, episode number 26.
[01:24.720 -> 01:27.240] We've officially made it this far.
[01:27.240 -> 01:29.800] It's been a freaking wild ride.
[01:29.800 -> 01:30.520] What we're going to do today.
[01:30.520 -> 01:32.240] So we've done our Miami preview last week.
[01:32.240 -> 01:33.240] We're going to go into the news.
[01:33.240 -> 01:37.000] There's a little bit going on some stuff happening in the sport that we weren't really expecting.
[01:37.000 -> 01:42.880] We're going to do a little MLA preview and then because we are so biased, we're going to give you our random fandom.
[01:42.880 -> 01:49.440] We're each assigned a team which is not Red Bull. It can't be Red Bull. We give them a little report card on them at the
[01:49.440 -> 01:53.760] end of the weekend in our debrief episode. So if you're new, just tuning in, welcome.
[01:55.200 -> 02:00.080] We try to pretend that we're completely clueless and we make that very clear, but we also know a
[02:00.080 -> 02:06.720] little bit of wheel. But realistically, like if you're listening to a Formula, if you're listening to a Formula One podcast.
[02:06.720 -> 02:08.840] I don't know.
[02:08.840 -> 02:11.840] I mean, your connoisseur.
[02:11.840 -> 02:13.800] Trading standards might be able to get involved with us.
[02:13.800 -> 02:14.800] I'm not really sure.
[02:14.800 -> 02:19.320] I'm not sure for that level yet, but we're not even on the radar, bro.
[02:19.320 -> 02:24.360] But anyway, no, no, no Traeger grills, no F1 invites.
[02:24.360 -> 02:26.160] Come on investigations.
[02:26.160 -> 02:29.120] We are just a mere humble small podcast.
[02:29.120 -> 02:30.120] Yeah.
[02:30.120 -> 02:32.240] Um, but I thanks everyone for listening.
[02:32.240 -> 02:34.760] Like, you know, thank you.
[02:34.760 -> 02:40.680] You know what I would, I want to manifest this at the end of this season, or probably
[02:40.680 -> 02:51.680] next European season, I would love. To go to a racetrack and go out there and do a podcast track side at the event,
[02:51.700 -> 02:55.240] record one after qualifying, uh, get some of our friends involved.
[02:55.800 -> 02:56.960] I think that can be awesome.
[02:56.960 -> 02:59.880] Maybe a little road trip with the Ford transit, Texas custom edition.
[03:00.280 -> 03:04.120] Who knows, man, who knows all the, all the Fiat Panda one only.
[03:04.280 -> 03:04.560] Yeah.
[03:04.800 -> 03:05.000] Ooh, recording live from the Fiat Panda one only.
[03:05.000 -> 03:06.000] Yeah.
[03:06.000 -> 03:14.400] Ooh, recording live from the Fiat Panda Maranello apology edition.
[03:14.400 -> 03:19.000] If anybody's just if anybody's new to the podcast, why don't you explain again?
[03:19.000 -> 03:20.520] Everybody that's been here for an age.
[03:20.520 -> 03:24.560] We love you guys, but tell everybody that's new about the Fiat Panda and why that's significant
[03:24.560 -> 03:25.160] right now.
[03:25.160 -> 03:32.600] Uh, so I, I, let's be honest. As soon you'll understand that this is not significant because
[03:32.600 -> 03:34.800] the conditions are very unlikely to be met, but.
[03:34.800 -> 03:39.920] Yeah, sadly, but this was what preseason before we really knew how it was going to work out.
[03:39.920 -> 03:45.160] But, uh, I said, I've got a history of making some pretty outlandish bets on Twitter.
[03:45.400 -> 03:51.320] And, uh, last year I said, if Mercedes win a race, I'll shave my beard off.
[03:51.800 -> 03:56.120] And considering I hadn't shaved in like two years, it was a bit of a big deal.
[03:56.400 -> 03:58.960] Anyway, of course, George Russell fucked all that up for me in Brazil.
[03:59.000 -> 03:59.840] So thanks George.
[04:01.280 -> 04:02.040] Blimey.
[04:02.120 -> 04:02.840] You bellend.
[04:03.360 -> 04:06.440] Uh, but we did manage to raise some money out of charity out of that.
[04:06.440 -> 04:07.440] So big up.
[04:07.440 -> 04:11.720] And then this this year I thought let's let's up the ante a little bit.
[04:11.720 -> 04:17.600] And I said look, what if Ferrari will win EVA championship, right, I'm going to buy
[04:17.600 -> 04:22.400] a classic Fiat Panda and I'm going to drive it all the way from like London to Maranello
[04:22.400 -> 04:26.240] and hand deliver an apology letter for all the times I
[04:26.240 -> 04:31.840] slandered Ferrari on the podcast. We're going to have to get somebody to actually go back through
[04:31.840 -> 04:41.440] and do a count article 753 calling Ferrari a shitbox article 754 calling signs a shitbox
[04:42.560 -> 04:51.360] and so on and so forth. So that's it. We're but unfortunately it seems that you know unless some madness occurs this season
[04:51.360 -> 04:55.120] I don't think you know that's going to happen.
[04:55.120 -> 05:00.520] So no yeah I don't see it happening because we're that sort of you know.
[05:00.520 -> 05:05.080] I mean even James May of Top Gear fandom got into you.
[05:05.080 -> 05:06.720] He said, did you buy the car yet?
[05:06.720 -> 05:09.320] So we're going to, something's got to happen.
[05:09.320 -> 05:10.160] I feel like.
[05:11.000 -> 05:11.240] I don't know.
[05:11.240 -> 05:12.760] You should full send, quit your job.
[05:12.760 -> 05:16.600] We'll go do content, go on the road, do some podcasts, uh, maybe get into
[05:16.600 -> 05:20.880] some burnout competitions in the car park and, uh, outside of Maranello.
[05:21.160 -> 05:24.360] I mean, the only thing I think will burn out on that is the clutch, but yeah, sure.
[05:24.960 -> 05:25.120] It's in yeah, sure.
[05:30.160 -> 05:36.480] Send it mate. Why don't why don't we get into the episode? We've got some news. What's happening in the world of Formula One, according to the engine breaking podcast. And why is it significant?
[05:36.480 -> 05:41.440] Because we are everyone's major source of we are the authority because we've definitely not
[05:41.440 -> 05:45.280] read somebody else's reported this. or as with anything there's a
[05:45.280 -> 05:50.720] lot of uh there's a lot of news out there in Formula One but here you get two completely
[05:50.720 -> 05:57.040] fraudulent takes on some stuff then uh you listen for the vibes here well not for the facts or the
[05:57.040 -> 06:01.840] printer talking of slandering Ferrari another thing that I quite often like to slander on
[06:01.840 -> 06:06.160] this podcast are Pirelli tyres. And that is why
[06:06.160 -> 06:11.280] our first item is Pirelli because they are bringing some new tyres for Silverstone. Apparently, it's
[06:11.840 -> 06:16.960] going to be a new tougher tyre construction from the British Grand Prix to help cope with a rapid
[06:16.960 -> 06:21.840] escalation in car performance. Definitely didn't read that straight off the press release.
[06:22.800 -> 06:23.680] Thanks, Mario.
[06:23.680 -> 06:26.360] Yeah. The new specification contains materials that straight off the press release. Thanks Mario. Yeah.
[06:28.440 -> 06:30.200] The new specification contains materials that we already developed for 2024,
[06:30.200 -> 06:31.800] which will make the tires more resistant
[06:31.800 -> 06:35.420] without affecting any of the other technical parameters
[06:35.420 -> 06:37.040] or their behavior on track.
[06:37.040 -> 06:38.400] Right, listen, let me tell you now,
[06:38.400 -> 06:40.200] that's bullshit for a start.
[06:40.200 -> 06:42.640] Yeah, if you could see my face,
[06:42.640 -> 06:43.680] if you could see my face, you know,
[06:43.680 -> 06:45.680] the doubt meme, press X for doubt.
[06:46.400 -> 06:49.200] Yeah, yeah, we're gonna get into that in a minute, but more pressing, right?
[06:49.760 -> 06:55.440] They say this move is not being made because of safety concerns, but more as a bid to guarantee
[06:55.440 -> 07:00.160] no problems further down the line. The compounds of the new tires will be identical to what is
[07:00.160 -> 07:08.360] currently being used. And then but what they fail to mention is the reason this is going through is because the FIA pushed it through for safety reasons, which they
[07:08.360 -> 07:14.440] can do as part of technical regulations article 10.8.3. Definitely had to write that down.
[07:14.440 -> 07:18.160] Yep. You don't know that one. I just thought that was hilarious. Like this isn't for safety
[07:18.160 -> 07:26.880] grounds, but we got the FIA to push it through on safety grounds. And yeah, so GG's for that one. And all the teams
[07:27.680 -> 07:34.160] are going to get to test it in FP1 and FP2 at the Spanish Grand Prix. I think they're getting two
[07:34.160 -> 07:39.360] sets of tyres to test out with. Yeah, and they'll run them in pre-practice one and pre-practice two.
[07:39.360 -> 07:46.480] I mean, even my cat hearing you say that, Barry's like, yo, yo dog, that's a load of shit.
[07:46.480 -> 07:47.480] Right Barry?
[07:47.480 -> 07:48.480] Yeah, he's passed out now.
[07:48.480 -> 07:50.320] He got bored of hearing the Pirelli slander.
[07:50.320 -> 07:53.780] He's like classic, boring, typical.
[07:53.780 -> 08:03.120] So what that sounds like is they took at face value that they expected the teams to get
[08:03.120 -> 08:07.080] slower as a result of the floor edge height changes
[08:07.080 -> 08:10.440] and that they were like, oh, it's going to lose half a second. But if you looked at the
[08:10.440 -> 08:13.440] development rate of teams through the season, you're like.
[08:13.440 -> 08:19.740] Now, now, and then you've had teams like Aston make astronomical jumps. Their high speed
[08:19.740 -> 08:23.200] cornering performance is probably on par with the Red Bull and Ferrari. They're a little
[08:23.200 -> 08:29.120] bit slow in the straight line, but it's very likely what they're looking at is stress concentrations either
[08:29.680 -> 08:33.200] somewhere in the belts or in the shoulder of the tire where it joins.
[08:34.880 -> 08:40.080] That but the fact that I mean, they could probably get quite close to not changing many
[08:40.080 -> 08:45.760] of the characteristics. But if you change construction, you will change the characteristics.
[08:45.800 -> 08:50.660] The fact that they're not changing the compounds, uh, bodes well, but if you
[08:50.660 -> 08:53.920] change the construction, you can still impact how the compounds
[08:54.360 -> 08:55.960] heat up and everything else.
[08:55.960 -> 09:01.520] So, yeah, like you said, there's no way that you can reinforce the sidewalls
[09:01.520 -> 09:06.080] or shoulders of these tires and have it not affect the dynamics of the tire in some way.
[09:07.360 -> 09:11.400] So either way, they, you know, they can say, Oh, well, the compounds aren't changing.
[09:11.400 -> 09:13.360] It's not going to make that much of a difference to the teams.
[09:13.400 -> 09:15.240] Well, that's, that's horseshit.
[09:15.400 -> 09:18.640] And that's two former F1 engineers telling you that's horseshit.
[09:19.200 -> 09:20.600] It's going to change a lot of things.
[09:20.680 -> 09:22.880] They're going to have to remake all their tire models.
[09:23.440 -> 09:29.320] The team says, but to be fair, though, I will say if it's not a massive change,
[09:29.360 -> 09:30.360] it could be tweaks.
[09:30.360 -> 09:32.840] It could be anywhere between tweaks or.
[09:33.600 -> 09:34.020] A shuffle.
[09:34.020 -> 09:34.960] And at the end of the day.
[09:36.600 -> 09:38.120] Fuck it, send it right.
[09:38.120 -> 09:40.920] Like it's one of those things, like, you know, like back in the day when they're
[09:40.920 -> 09:44.280] like, right, let's get, there was a whole thing about front rear interconnected
[09:44.280 -> 09:44.880] suspension.
[09:44.880 -> 09:47.660] So the pro pitch system, which basically linked the front and rear axles.
[09:47.660 -> 09:50.280] And he's people were like, there were a lot of teams in their lobbying.
[09:50.280 -> 09:53.760] They're like, yeah, Mercedes front rear interconnected or Frick
[09:53.840 -> 09:54.780] is better than everybody else.
[09:54.780 -> 09:56.800] If we get it banned, they'll go slower.
[09:58.000 -> 09:58.860] Never happened.
[09:58.860 -> 09:59.700] It never happened.
[09:59.700 -> 10:01.860] Everybody lost roughly the same amount of performance,
[10:01.860 -> 10:04.120] and you couldn't tell that one team gained or lost out more.
[10:04.120 -> 10:08.840] And if you change the entire tire specification because Ferrari kind of didn't put enough
[10:08.840 -> 10:14.440] margin, you know, their safety factor for in season development, because when's the
[10:14.440 -> 10:19.080] last time a Formula One car got faster over the course of a season?
[10:19.080 -> 10:20.080] Every fucking year.
[10:20.080 -> 10:22.480] Except for Mercedes last year.
[10:22.480 -> 10:27.000] I reckon the W13 got quicker as the year went on.
[10:27.000 -> 10:29.000] Well, they were kind of like half a percent off the whole season.
[10:29.000 -> 10:32.000] Well, yeah, you've done the math, so I'll take your word for it.
[10:32.000 -> 10:35.000] They did get closer at a couple of events and they had some really shit ones in there.
[10:35.000 -> 10:40.000] But yeah, like a lot of teams found a fair chunk of performance and to be like,
[10:40.000 -> 10:44.000] ah, they said they're going to change the floor, they will never figure out these aerodynamics.
[10:44.000 -> 10:45.400] Ha ha ha.
[10:45.640 -> 10:48.080] They did test test day one done.
[10:48.120 -> 10:48.480] Thanks.
[10:48.600 -> 10:49.680] What else you got for us?
[10:50.080 -> 10:51.080] Yeah, exactly.
[10:51.360 -> 10:51.960] Go on, Mario.
[10:52.000 -> 10:52.280] But.
[10:53.160 -> 10:54.640] Um, you know what?
[10:54.800 -> 10:56.200] It's a sole tire supplier.
[10:56.920 -> 11:01.760] If it prevents catastrophic failures.
[11:02.600 -> 11:03.920] Fine, send it whatever.
[11:03.920 -> 11:06.440] And if it shakes up the order, send it.
[11:06.520 -> 11:08.280] Listen, I want it to, I want it to happen.
[11:08.360 -> 11:08.920] I want chaos.
[11:08.920 -> 11:12.040] Started this section with Pirelli slander, right?
[11:12.340 -> 11:13.080] But hear me out.
[11:13.080 -> 11:14.400] I'm actually going to back him up now.
[11:15.000 -> 11:15.600] All right, go on.
[11:15.680 -> 11:15.880] Go on.
[11:15.880 -> 11:16.160] Big man.
[11:16.160 -> 11:23.400] It cannot be easy to fucking pander to FOM and there, or you have to make a tire,
[11:23.400 -> 11:25.840] but it can only last this amount, it has to be like
[11:25.840 -> 11:30.640] really, performance characteristics have to be free roof, oh but it can only last a certain
[11:30.640 -> 11:36.880] amount of laps. And like as a tire manufacturer you're like okay so I've got to make a really
[11:36.880 -> 11:40.880] good tire but it needs to purposely be shit after a certain amount of time sort of thing, you know
[11:40.880 -> 11:45.000] it's just like I don't envy them for the task they're having to do.
[11:45.680 -> 11:48.040] No, and you couldn't really do that with a tire war.
[11:48.040 -> 11:49.680] Imagine you had a tire war, right?
[11:49.920 -> 11:54.200] And they're like, right, everybody, we need to have, you know, a two stop race
[11:54.200 -> 11:56.280] because the hardest compound that you bring is two shit.
[11:56.520 -> 11:59.080] And they're like, nah, mate, we're one stop in this shit.
[11:59.080 -> 12:01.680] You guys on a two stop are going to get absolutely clapped.
[12:02.600 -> 12:03.920] But yeah, that's fair enough.
[12:04.280 -> 12:04.600] Yeah.
[12:04.640 -> 12:09.600] So I don't envy them, but hey, I'm going to fucking slaughter you anyway.
[12:10.360 -> 12:10.840] Send it.
[12:10.920 -> 12:13.720] Well, maybe, maybe we could do some hand delivered letters to, uh,
[12:14.080 -> 12:14.760] probably as well.
[12:15.080 -> 12:15.760] Nah, fuck that.
[12:15.760 -> 12:16.400] Really based.
[12:16.440 -> 12:18.080] I've got a UK factory somewhere.
[12:18.080 -> 12:19.160] I drove past it once.
[12:19.960 -> 12:20.240] Hmm.
[12:20.560 -> 12:22.520] Probably for the road times, but still that'll do.
[12:23.160 -> 12:23.600] I'll do.
[12:24.080 -> 12:26.960] What about, what do we got next on the news agenda?
[12:26.960 -> 12:30.600] I heard something about a, a team principal and his old driver.
[12:30.600 -> 12:31.600] What can you tell me about that?
[12:31.600 -> 12:37.240] Yeah, Toto Wolff and Valtteri Bottas are linking up again, but don't panic everyone.
[12:37.240 -> 12:39.960] George Russell isn't getting kicked out of Mercedes.
[12:39.960 -> 12:41.480] Are they starting a bowling team?
[12:41.480 -> 12:49.680] Maybe, yeah, maybe with Bottas' track record. Yeah Budapest PTSD kicked
[12:49.680 -> 12:58.160] in there. So Toto Wolff used to be Bottas's manager and he was quite key in his rise through
[12:58.160 -> 13:08.500] motorsport ranks and got him the drive at Williams but once once he joined Mercedes, Wolf stepped away because it was like a conflict of interest,
[13:08.500 -> 13:09.500] which makes sense.
[13:09.500 -> 13:14.440] And now that he's driving for another team, it's not a conflict of interest.
[13:14.440 -> 13:16.600] Valtteri, it's Toto, red button.
[13:16.600 -> 13:18.760] Yeah, I'm back, baby.
[13:18.760 -> 13:20.360] Red button minus five laps.
[13:20.360 -> 13:21.360] Thank you.
[13:21.360 -> 13:23.440] Valtteri, I'm back, baby.
[13:23.440 -> 13:28.320] So yeah, Toto, Wolf, Wolf, everybody's hooking up again.
[13:28.320 -> 13:32.200] And he recently confirmed that on everyone's beyond the grid podcast.
[13:32.200 -> 13:38.320] I'm sure it's not as fucking good as our podcast, you know, just saying.
[13:38.320 -> 13:44.360] And his intentions are to remain at alpha for when the team rebrands to Audi in 2026.
[13:44.360 -> 13:46.080] So yeah, we'll have to wait and see.
[13:46.960 -> 13:51.280] Sign with me if you want to live. Sign with me if you want to drive a tree.
[13:53.360 -> 13:58.000] Oh my god, miss you big man in the Twitch chat coming in clutch with that one. And that's the
[13:58.000 -> 14:02.560] one of the best parts about being live on these recordings is you get to catch all this stuff
[14:02.560 -> 14:05.000] first and you don't hear it tomorrow. You can be there live.
[14:05.000 -> 14:06.000] You'd be like, I was there.
[14:06.000 -> 14:11.100] So if you haven't tuned into the Twitch stream on a break with three hours on Twitch and
[14:11.100 -> 14:15.920] uh, yeah, but so that's, that's nutty, man.
[14:15.920 -> 14:16.920] What do you think?
[14:16.920 -> 14:18.840] Are you happy with the total thing?
[14:18.840 -> 14:22.960] Well, I'm Valtteri or my versions of him.
[14:22.960 -> 14:26.320] I'm not, I'm not happy with my impersonations of him.
[14:27.320 -> 14:31.360] Now I think that's shocking and we are losing subscribers as we speak.
[14:31.920 -> 14:35.520] Now I don't care if he manages, but that's why not fucking.
[14:35.840 -> 14:36.720] No, exactly.
[14:36.960 -> 14:37.600] Exactly.
[14:37.960 -> 14:44.800] Um, we've got some, uh, turmoil happening in the, uh, our favorite French team.
[14:44.840 -> 14:46.520] Don't worry oil that's putting
[14:46.520 -> 14:51.280] it lightly Christ it's the wheel fucking French Revolution going on over here
[14:51.280 -> 14:54.680] how they wield the guillotine out to the street now they are painting the walls
[14:54.680 -> 15:03.080] red mate and they are wheeling them guillotines out so if you miss this go
[15:03.080 -> 15:06.120] check it out because it's a it's a fucking blinder.
[15:06.120 -> 15:09.480] So the Alpine, sorry, I messed that up.
[15:10.080 -> 15:16.720] Alpine, Alpine CEO, Lauren Rossi, uh, did an interview recently and, uh, well, I'm
[15:16.720 -> 15:18.200] just going to read you this quote, right?
[15:19.480 -> 15:21.160] I'm not going to do any accents, so don't worry.
[15:22.080 -> 15:22.760] We had a team.
[15:22.760 -> 15:23.120] Why not?
[15:23.960 -> 15:25.360] Cause I can't do a French accent. The only one I can do is Togo. Why not? Because I can't do a French accent.
[15:25.360 -> 15:30.480] The only one I can do is Toto, that's it. I can't do any other accents. Just barely,
[15:30.480 -> 15:40.200] come on. Dude, George Russell. Blimey. Mr. England. Now each fucking year, each episode,
[15:40.200 -> 15:48.560] sorry, I'll say we're going to be more professional, more and never fucking works. 26 episodes in and we are just as shit as we were an episode.
[15:48.560 -> 15:53.720] It's not like, but like, come on, if we, if we went full corporate on this stuff, I would
[15:53.720 -> 15:57.760] expect each and every one of you to call us to leave house.
[15:57.760 -> 15:58.760] Yeah.
[15:58.760 -> 16:00.560] To never, never listen to our podcast again.
[16:00.560 -> 16:08.240] Go on a rampage on Twitter, tell all of your friends, tell all of your Charles Leclerc Stan accounts to absolutely blackmail us, review bomb us,
[16:08.240 -> 16:11.880] stick us in the mud, but you guys are here for the bullshit.
[16:11.880 -> 16:12.880] Tell your butcher.
[16:12.880 -> 16:15.360] Yeah, you guys are here for the bullshit.
[16:15.360 -> 16:21.280] Sorry, anyway, four minutes later I'll now give you this Laurent Rossi statement.
[16:21.280 -> 16:25.840] So, we had a team that performed reasonably well last year,
[16:25.840 -> 16:30.400] got the fourth position, which is the best improvement we had in a long time. It showed
[16:30.400 -> 16:34.280] a lot of promise. It's more or less the same people. So I don't accept that we are not
[16:34.280 -> 16:39.760] capable of maintaining that. Yes, it is Otmar and the rest of his team as Otmar alone doesn't
[16:39.760 -> 16:46.800] do everything, but the buck stops with Otmar Right, taking God taking bets on how long
[16:46.800 -> 16:48.500] right has got left,
[16:48.500 -> 16:51.100] but like I think that Mars Mars was
[16:51.100 -> 16:51.800] fucking good.
[16:51.800 -> 16:55.100] I mean he kept force India alive
[16:55.100 -> 16:57.800] through all of the shit all of the
[16:57.800 -> 16:59.000] shit not you know like when they
[16:59.000 -> 17:01.600] didn't have cash when when DJ was
[17:01.600 -> 17:03.100] having trouble when Sahar was having
[17:03.100 -> 17:07.640] trouble at Omar being the way that he is
[17:07.640 -> 17:08.840] kept that thing going
[17:08.840 -> 17:09.960] and kept it on track.
[17:10.320 -> 17:10.920] He doesn't.
[17:10.920 -> 17:11.840] He doesn't fuck around
[17:11.840 -> 17:13.640] into place blame on him.
[17:13.680 -> 17:15.200] Let's put this in context, right?
[17:16.080 -> 17:18.080] They are currently tied with McLaren
[17:18.120 -> 17:19.600] with 14 points.
[17:19.920 -> 17:22.280] Next up the road is Ferrari with 78.
[17:22.320 -> 17:24.320] The only reason they're not tied
[17:24.320 -> 17:26.620] for 4th right now is because
[17:26.640 -> 17:29.440] Aston arose from the dead.
[17:29.460 -> 17:31.820] They had CPR on a corpse of a race
[17:31.820 -> 17:35.140] car and reincarnated as something else.
[17:35.160 -> 17:36.220] But who left and they're getting
[17:36.240 -> 17:37.580] who left Aston Martin?
[17:38.860 -> 17:40.120] And then joined helping.
[17:42.660 -> 17:43.700] Why am I drawing a blank?
[17:43.720 -> 17:44.340] Oh Ma.
[17:46.760 -> 17:54.680] Oh, my's not really. Come on, yeah, OK, I thought I was thinking other than him who but like like let's put
[17:54.680 -> 17:55.680] it this way.
[17:55.680 -> 18:02.640] Alpine should have done even better last year if they didn't have the Renault engine.
[18:02.640 -> 18:04.840] Which they had is now bulletproof.
[18:04.840 -> 18:05.960] Yeah, which is which bulletproof. Yeah.
[18:05.960 -> 18:09.560] Which is, which is, well, they, yeah, they, I don't think they've had any DNFs from an
[18:09.560 -> 18:10.560] engine issue.
[18:10.560 -> 18:12.360] If not, they're not particularly noteworthy.
[18:12.360 -> 18:16.800] I've completely forgotten them for some other reason, but I don't know, like having a lot
[18:16.800 -> 18:19.080] of operational issues.
[18:19.080 -> 18:20.320] So like Mr.
[18:20.320 -> 18:25.940] Bannock on did is I'm going to get all my years worth of penalties in one race in
[18:25.940 -> 18:26.700] Australia.
[18:26.700 -> 18:27.260] And he did that.
[18:28.180 -> 18:31.140] Um, and then no, no, no.
[18:31.140 -> 18:33.220] Australia is where they both decided to collide.
[18:34.020 -> 18:34.620] Is it Jetta?
[18:34.740 -> 18:35.180] Maybe.
[18:35.180 -> 18:35.540] Yeah.
[18:35.600 -> 18:38.900] And then they both decided to crash into each other in Australia.
[18:41.580 -> 18:44.300] Yeah, actually, no, it's not the most bulletproof engine.
[18:44.300 -> 18:44.780] You're right.
[18:44.780 -> 18:45.400] Sorry, chat. I forgot. They the most bulletproof engine. You're right.
[18:45.400 -> 18:46.400] Sorry, chat.
[18:46.400 -> 18:48.960] I forgot they had the back barbecue.
[18:48.960 -> 18:49.960] Well done back.
[18:49.960 -> 18:51.860] How would you like your Renault?
[18:51.860 -> 18:52.860] Well done.
[18:52.860 -> 18:53.860] Well, well smoked.
[18:53.860 -> 18:54.860] Yeah.
[18:54.860 -> 18:58.760] And then filled with fire extinguisher.
[18:58.760 -> 19:06.680] But but like, let's be honest, man, like putting more on the chopping block is a move from Rossi to be like,
[19:06.680 -> 19:08.240] I don't know what the fuck is going on.
[19:08.240 -> 19:09.140] Let me just point the finger
[19:09.140 -> 19:10.440] at the next person down the line.
[19:10.440 -> 19:13.080] Sure, you know, listen,
[19:13.080 -> 19:14.580] tell me, give me give me a take.
[19:14.580 -> 19:17.020] I'm starting my campaign today.
[19:17.020 -> 19:20.480] Ladies and gentlemen, bring back,
[19:20.480 -> 19:24.420] bring back Cyril Aviva.
[19:24.420 -> 19:26.560] Cyril, a bit of a tool.
[19:26.580 -> 19:27.760] Yeah, bring him back.
[19:29.360 -> 19:32.480] If you know what I was surprised by how
[19:32.500 -> 19:35.640] how well he came across in drive to survive.
[19:36.840 -> 19:37.480] And then.
[19:39.480 -> 19:41.080] I'm not going to say what I think out loud.
[19:41.720 -> 19:44.400] No, we yeah, OK, I'm just not.
[19:44.400 -> 19:45.240] I'm just not. I'm just not.
[19:45.240 -> 19:46.880] I just don't feel like that.
[19:46.880 -> 19:48.300] Do you need some principles
[19:48.320 -> 19:49.760] with 26 fucking episodes
[19:49.760 -> 19:51.000] in this not get cancelled?
[19:51.480 -> 19:53.120] Yeah, but like he did not.
[19:53.280 -> 19:54.520] It seems a bit busy at the minute.
[19:54.520 -> 19:55.480] He's currently the team
[19:55.480 -> 19:57.040] principal of Hyundai Motorsport.
[19:57.040 -> 19:57.400] There you go.
[19:57.400 -> 19:58.240] Just check that out.
[19:58.240 -> 20:00.040] So perhaps maybe available.
[20:01.240 -> 20:03.000] Yeah, I don't know.
[20:03.240 -> 20:04.000] I don't.
[20:04.040 -> 20:09.160] I feel like he was really good at banter with Christian Horner, but that doesn't mean you're
[20:09.160 -> 20:11.680] a good team principal, but that stuff was fucking fun.
[20:11.680 -> 20:16.360] Yeah, it's like seeing your two mates get back together again.
[20:16.360 -> 20:20.080] It's like this isn't going to work, but I do miss them days.
[20:20.080 -> 20:21.760] Yeah, exactly.
[20:21.760 -> 20:24.200] Oh Jesus.
[20:24.200 -> 20:26.900] Right. Formula One calendar in 2024.
[20:27.000 -> 20:31.300] We've had a lot of criticism of this calendar and it sounds
[20:31.500 -> 20:35.100] it sounds like they might be making some some changes.
[20:35.400 -> 20:36.100] Question.
[20:36.100 -> 20:36.800] Question.
[20:37.500 -> 20:38.000] Yeah.
[20:38.000 -> 20:44.700] Well, we think we've seen Stefano say that when they need to logically
[20:44.700 -> 20:47.000] move shit around right to make it make more
[20:47.000 -> 20:48.000] sense.
[20:48.000 -> 20:52.000] Otherwise, all this other stuff is just greenwashing isn't it?
[20:52.000 -> 20:54.000] Basically yeah.
[20:54.000 -> 21:00.200] So they don't fly around obviously ends of the fucking world like in three weeks.
[21:00.200 -> 21:05.120] So they're starting to regionalize the calendar I believe is the official PR speak for it.
[21:05.120 -> 21:10.640] And there's a possibility we might get a change of order for the first quarter of the season.
[21:10.640 -> 21:12.400] Order, order.
[21:13.200 -> 21:16.480] Yes, that's a beautiful impersonation, Stefano, well done.
[21:18.240 -> 21:19.760] She sounds a lot like my court judge.
[21:20.880 -> 21:23.680] Order, Dan, you will pay the parking fine.
[21:24.240 -> 21:29.240] Dan, stop fucking mowing your lawn in just your box of shorts.
[21:29.240 -> 21:32.040] No one's paying to see that on Twitter.
[21:32.040 -> 21:33.040] Yet.
[21:33.040 -> 21:34.040] Yet.
[21:34.040 -> 21:35.040] Yet.
[21:35.040 -> 21:39.060] So yeah, regionalizing the calendar.
[21:39.060 -> 21:43.020] But the reason why they can't do too much is because a lot of the existing contracts
[21:43.020 -> 21:50.440] have locked in certain dates and things like that which I get that makes sense.
[21:50.440 -> 21:57.580] They also said that South Africa is not ruled out yet for 2024 and there's still a
[21:57.580 -> 22:09.200] possibility. But if we get that, the spar goes. That seems to be the consensus that for some reason you can have one but not both.
[22:10.000 -> 22:12.000] That is bullshit.
[22:12.000 -> 22:13.400] I can't bullshit on that.
[22:13.400 -> 22:15.600] Well, there you have it, Stefano.
[22:16.200 -> 22:21.000] Blake wants to have it out if you're in the new F1 Creator Space boxing match.
[22:22.600 -> 22:23.600] I'll just knock him out with the elbow.
[22:23.600 -> 22:24.800] I'm like, what, I missed?
[22:26.400 -> 22:26.800] Little button. I don't know.
[22:26.800 -> 22:28.100] What how tall are you?
[22:29.300 -> 22:29.900] 5'10".
[22:30.900 -> 22:32.100] You know, 5'10".
[22:32.500 -> 22:33.500] You really 5'10"?
[22:33.500 -> 22:34.400] I got a measuring tape.
[22:34.700 -> 22:35.000] Yep.
[22:35.000 -> 22:36.000] I can now chat.
[22:36.000 -> 22:37.900] If he's 5'10", I'm fucking 7 foot.
[22:37.900 -> 22:38.400] I'll tell you that.
[22:38.400 -> 22:41.600] He's a fucking god damn giant.
[22:41.600 -> 22:43.500] Fucking 5'10 in heels more like.
[22:44.100 -> 22:47.000] But how tall is Stefano? like, but, um, how, how tall Stefano?
[22:48.080 -> 22:51.720] I, I, I, you know, I, I know which side to put my money on.
[22:52.000 -> 22:53.720] He's got old, old dude energy though.
[22:53.720 -> 22:54.240] Doesn't he?
[22:54.600 -> 22:56.080] Oh, he's been around energy.
[22:56.120 -> 22:56.880] Yeah, maybe.
[22:58.120 -> 22:58.520] Yeah.
[22:58.760 -> 22:59.240] Okay.
[22:59.400 -> 22:59.800] I don't know.
[23:00.360 -> 23:00.840] I don't know.
[23:01.200 -> 23:02.760] I'll give it to you.
[23:02.760 -> 23:03.360] I'll rate you.
[23:03.440 -> 23:04.160] I was fine.
[23:04.280 -> 23:05.280] I'm scrappy, man. I need to get, I need to get on the cardio a little bit, but, um, I, I,'t know. I'll give it to you. I'll rate you over Stefano. I'm scrappy, man.
[23:05.280 -> 23:10.680] I need to get on the cardio a little bit, but I can fight.
[23:10.680 -> 23:12.400] I don't have any self-preservation.
[23:12.400 -> 23:14.360] That's why I should never ride a mountain bike ever again.
[23:14.360 -> 23:15.360] Yeah.
[23:15.360 -> 23:20.880] It seems to be a recurring theme for Red Bull-employed people, doesn't it, really?
[23:20.880 -> 23:24.080] Stay away from mountain bikes, or else you're simply going to fuck yourself up.
[23:24.080 -> 23:28.640] Yeah, the number of collarbones and backs have been broken before after work and the
[23:28.640 -> 23:34.320] mountain bikes was like, well, but, um, here's the interesting thing like regionalizing. Imagine you
[23:34.320 -> 23:48.400] did this properly, like in terms of making it make sense, you would go for a North American tour or Even would you go Canada, Miami, Austin, Vegas, Mexico, Brazil?
[23:48.800 -> 23:49.680] Would you do that?
[23:50.000 -> 23:57.160] Because then you would be effectively, you'd be gone for two months or more.
[23:59.320 -> 24:06.760] Yeah, I think, was there not a thing where Miami and Vegas basically, I might've been making this up,
[24:06.760 -> 24:07.760] so forgive me.
[24:07.760 -> 24:10.280] They're going to cannibalize themselves if they're both back to back.
[24:10.280 -> 24:13.480] Yeah, I thought they basically said, no, we can't be back to back because it's going to
[24:13.480 -> 24:17.680] basically completely fuck our bottom lines up.
[24:17.680 -> 24:20.880] What sounds like the Miami Grand Prix bottom line wasn't doing too great, at least from
[24:20.880 -> 24:24.800] ticket sales, because they were trying to flog them last minute, which we've discussed
[24:24.800 -> 24:26.320] every episode for the past month.
[24:26.320 -> 24:30.200] Guess what landed in my inbox the other day?
[24:30.200 -> 24:33.200] Imola tickets, 150 euros off.
[24:33.200 -> 24:38.480] Seems to be a recurring theme in the moment.
[24:38.480 -> 24:39.480] You know what?
[24:39.480 -> 24:45.320] I reckon going to Imola would be a huge W. Imola or Budapest or spot or Austria.
[24:47.120 -> 24:49.640] So I'm going to I'm going to go to one. If you're listening, Formula One teams, we are we can be professional.
[24:49.960 -> 24:50.880] Call us.
[24:50.880 -> 24:53.880] Oh, Blake can be professional.
[24:53.880 -> 24:56.320] I'm not going to fucking I'm not going to hide.
[24:57.160 -> 24:58.800] Oh, no, we don't. You don't need to.
[24:58.800 -> 25:00.560] We don't need to. You can be yourself here, Dan.
[25:00.560 -> 25:04.320] I'm just going to say this and fucking moan like an old man and be like,
[25:04.320 -> 25:06.400] Oh, this is, this is crap.
[25:06.400 -> 25:07.200] This is shit.
[25:08.640 -> 25:11.160] And I'm not going to hawk any of your products, right?
[25:11.360 -> 25:12.400] I'm not going to sell out.
[25:13.480 -> 25:13.920] Yeah, you will.
[25:14.840 -> 25:16.680] If the money's right, everyone's got a price.
[25:17.920 -> 25:19.560] Should we do our mid roll now?
[25:19.560 -> 25:20.360] We'll do it after our news.
[25:21.480 -> 25:22.440] Speaking of selling out.
[25:25.300 -> 25:27.400] But anyway, yeah, no, yeah, we'll do that.
[25:27.400 -> 25:29.800] A bit, but yeah, so what's up?
[25:29.800 -> 25:30.900] What's going on with you, man?
[25:30.900 -> 25:36.600] Because like we've both kind of caught the iRacing bug and you have
[25:36.600 -> 25:39.500] entered the engine breaking team and the braking engine.
[25:39.500 -> 25:40.500] What's the third car called?
[25:40.500 -> 25:44.300] Because you guys now have three cars in for the Le Mans 24, which
[25:44.300 -> 25:45.760] you did the prologue
[25:45.760 -> 25:50.400] this weekend on engine mode 11 on Twitch. Yeah. Tell me, tell us about it. What happened?
[25:51.520 -> 25:55.520] If anyone listening as a psychiatrist or something, I'm sure there's a word for this,
[25:55.520 -> 26:00.800] but whenever I do something, I basically fucking go all in on it and there's no fucking,
[26:00.800 -> 26:04.080] I don't let up on it. So basically I started out racing three weeks ago.
[26:03.640 -> 26:09.420] there's no fucking I don't let up on it so basically I started iRacing three weeks ago and have already in like you say entered the team into a fucking 24
[26:09.420 -> 26:16.200] hour endurance event we did the prologue which was like 2.4 hours which translates
[26:16.200 -> 26:29.240] to two and a half hours near enough and somehow we shit housed P1 with one of the teams. I say teams, but it was actually one
[26:29.240 -> 26:34.800] guy running the whole fucking thing solo. So you know who you are, pick yourself up.
[26:34.800 -> 26:45.000] And we did it with Dimitris, who is the car and driver editor for the Greek section of their website. Hell yeah, dude. Random fucking collab.
[26:45.000 -> 26:48.800] We did P5, we got P5.
[26:48.800 -> 26:51.400] Nice and clean, you know, we got there in the end.
[26:51.400 -> 26:53.200] Yeah, Norshi, there you are.
[26:53.200 -> 26:55.100] He's our solo fucking mentalist.
[26:55.100 -> 26:56.200] Let's go.
[26:56.200 -> 26:59.700] And, um, our third car, sadly,
[26:59.700 -> 27:01.400] we had a bit of an incident with it.
[27:01.400 -> 27:04.100] I got some crash damage, so I think it was like P10 or something.
[27:04.100 -> 27:06.960] How many entries did you have in your class?
[27:07.000 -> 27:07.720] How did it work out?
[27:08.080 -> 27:09.160] 20 odd, I think.
[27:09.440 -> 27:09.920] Oh, fuck.
[27:09.920 -> 27:11.840] So you guys were well in the mix.
[27:11.880 -> 27:12.240] Yeah.
[27:12.280 -> 27:17.200] I think we got P5 purely because we were okay in terms of pace and we, we somehow
[27:17.200 -> 27:18.880] managed to keep it on track the entire time.
[27:18.880 -> 27:22.160] So, yeah, no black flags, no track limits stuff.
[27:22.200 -> 27:22.480] Yeah.
[27:22.960 -> 27:26.480] What's the, what's the number of penalties that you can get before a DQ?
[27:27.240 -> 27:30.280] Before you get disqualified in a 24 hour.
[27:30.280 -> 27:30.720] Regular.
[27:30.880 -> 27:33.120] Ah, see in the 24 hour, they don't do it like that.
[27:33.120 -> 27:35.280] You get 30, then you have to do a drive-thru.
[27:36.800 -> 27:37.000] Okay.
[27:37.000 -> 27:38.520] I'm not sure what it is for a DQ.
[27:39.280 -> 27:39.600] Right.
[27:39.640 -> 27:39.960] Okay.
[27:40.760 -> 27:43.480] So 30, 30, 30 penalty points.
[27:43.480 -> 27:44.240] 30, yeah.
[27:44.280 -> 27:45.800] 30 Xs. And then that's it.
[27:46.520 -> 27:48.520] You can only drive through, but yes.
[27:48.520 -> 27:52.800] So, um, we entered, I put a call out on Twitter saying, Hey, look, I've been
[27:52.800 -> 27:54.160] invited to do a 24 hours.
[27:54.160 -> 27:55.120] Anyone want to join me?
[27:55.920 -> 27:58.480] Um, and I got so much interest.
[27:58.480 -> 28:00.200] I've ended up having to do three teams.
[28:00.200 -> 28:02.800] So I've got team engine breaking.
[28:03.760 -> 28:06.700] And then when I needed to make the second team, I thought oh, he's a really good
[28:06.700 -> 28:13.700] I'm gonna piss off all the commentators. So we did team braking engine and literally just inverted the colors on the livery
[28:14.040 -> 28:19.800] Right now now that's that's good classic classic you what you do with the third car
[28:19.800 -> 28:24.400] I lost all my fucking I lost all my creativity. I just put team engine braking to
[28:25.540 -> 28:27.060] God you suck.
[28:28.100 -> 28:31.700] Uh, yeah, so well done.
[28:31.760 -> 28:32.620] Well done for me.
[28:32.740 -> 28:40.900] Um, but that's happening on the 27th of May and I'll be streaming it on Twitch.
[28:40.900 -> 28:44.340] So Twitch.tv slash engine mode 11.
[28:44.900 -> 28:46.900] That's Monaco Saturday, isn't it?
[28:46.900 -> 28:47.920] You'll be live all day.
[28:47.980 -> 28:48.220] Yeah.
[28:48.220 -> 28:49.580] No one wants to watch fucking Monaco.
[28:49.580 -> 28:51.540] Do they say qualifying?
[28:51.780 -> 28:52.120] All right.
[28:52.120 -> 28:53.300] But like, it's just an hour and a bit.
[28:53.300 -> 28:53.780] We'll be good.
[28:54.340 -> 28:54.820] Yeah.
[28:54.900 -> 29:00.640] And then, um, In the week leading up to that, I'm going to be streaming.
[29:01.000 -> 29:10.400] Uh, the aim is to stream every day in, uh, aid of Samaritans, which is a UK based
[29:10.400 -> 29:16.720] suicide prevention hotline. They were the people who I raised the free ground for last
[29:16.720 -> 29:22.160] year for shaving the beard. My wife has made me promise not to shave the beard this year.
[29:22.160 -> 29:25.740] So I've set a modest target of a thousand pounds for that.
[29:28.760 -> 29:29.320] And if you want to help out, I shall put the link in the show notes.
[29:29.580 -> 29:29.780] Yep.
[29:33.720 -> 29:35.880] So if you're reading this in description, um, Twitch chat, we'll, uh, we'll put it in the discord later on the engine breaking discord.
[29:35.880 -> 29:38.520] So you can find out more about that, how to contribute.
[29:38.520 -> 29:42.040] If you've got some spare pennies knocking around, uh, it will go to a very good
[29:42.040 -> 29:43.920] cause again, that's awesome, man.
[29:43.920 -> 29:44.600] I appreciate that.
[29:44.600 -> 29:45.480] That's super huge. Now we'll, we'll get. Again, that's awesome, man. I appreciate that. That's super huge.
[29:45.800 -> 29:46.920] Now we'll get something going.
[29:47.320 -> 29:47.920] Don't worry, man.
[29:48.080 -> 29:50.440] Yeah, but, uh, you guys, you guys are awesome.
[29:50.440 -> 29:51.040] Thanks for that.
[29:51.640 -> 29:51.720] Yeah.
[29:52.240 -> 29:54.640] Basically, you and me, you were set out to iRacing now.
[29:55.200 -> 29:55.880] Yeah, exactly.
[29:55.880 -> 30:00.520] And so I, I didn't cause I stream Saturdays and Sundays during races and I didn't
[30:00.520 -> 30:02.520] want to commit to doing a 24 hour.
[30:02.840 -> 30:06.240] And I wasn't like at the point it came up, I wasn't sure how much I'd love iRacing
[30:06.240 -> 30:08.100] and I'm so fricking hooked on it.
[30:08.100 -> 30:11.760] Like inject it into me, it's good.
[30:11.760 -> 30:14.920] But speaking of selling out,
[30:14.920 -> 30:17.000] because I don't feel like this is really selling out
[30:17.000 -> 30:18.900] because this is a product that we both use,
[30:18.900 -> 30:23.400] but we had a quick word from our guys at NordVPN.
[30:32.800 -> 30:38.560] Hello, it's me again. Just to tell you that we are continuing our deal with NordVPN. Give you an exclusive offer. You can get it by going to nordvpn.com slash engine to get a
[30:38.560 -> 30:44.020] huge discount off your NordVPN plan and four additional months for free. It's completely
[30:44.020 -> 30:48.180] risk free with Nord's 30 day money back guarantee.
[30:48.180 -> 30:50.840] They have a super simple app that you can use on your phone,
[30:50.840 -> 30:53.020] your tablet, your PC,
[30:53.020 -> 30:55.680] and it's something that I've used myself for years
[30:55.680 -> 30:59.020] and I've been completely happy with it the entire time.
[30:59.020 -> 31:02.160] And it's just in time to get around
[31:02.160 -> 31:07.000] that potential geographical restrictions for F1 TV.
[31:07.740 -> 31:11.900] Obviously I can't say you should do that because that's probably illegal, but you
[31:11.900 -> 31:17.240] know, so yeah, go to Nord VPN.com slash engine.
[31:17.800 -> 31:19.740] So me and Blake can feed our families.
[31:19.960 -> 31:20.460] Thank you.
[31:23.260 -> 31:25.400] To be fair, I don't need to feed my families, but Sterling
[31:25.400 -> 31:26.880] and Barry need that good kibble.
[31:27.040 -> 31:29.200] Yeah, I've got a family and I need feeding.
[31:29.600 -> 31:32.200] Yeah, but like seriously, they're like fucking kids.
[31:32.200 -> 31:34.720] It's unbelievable how much they eat and then the wankers leave
[31:34.720 -> 31:35.800] off of it at the end of it.
[31:36.360 -> 31:36.600] Yeah.
[31:36.600 -> 31:38.000] And then you're like, I'm going to mop that up.
[31:38.040 -> 31:40.720] But seriously though, like on, on, on legit, this isn't part
[31:40.720 -> 31:43.800] of the integration, but I use Nord VPN for everything like,
[31:44.000 -> 31:44.400] and that's great.
[31:44.400 -> 31:49.360] And also I realized that you can watch IMSA races outside of the US.
[31:51.040 -> 31:54.480] Yeah, I didn't know this everywhere. Yeah. And if you're on Twitter,
[31:55.120 -> 31:59.200] yeah, I didn't realize that. Like, and that's how much in the Formula One hall. I didn't realize
[31:59.200 -> 32:04.880] you could watch all the American sports car greatness outside of the US free to view.
[32:07.440 -> 32:14.240] all the American sports car greatness outside of the US, free to view. But if you're in the US, God forbid you go use engine braking and, you know, NordVPN.com front slash engine.
[32:16.560 -> 32:17.280] Yeah, exactly.
[32:18.160 -> 32:26.600] No, like I used it long before they paid us to say it. So yeah, I would not hawk something to you that I don't use myself.
[32:27.040 -> 32:27.320] Yeah.
[32:27.320 -> 32:28.680] And that, that was kind of my thing.
[32:29.040 -> 32:31.280] Um, we've had other offers, haven't we?
[32:31.280 -> 32:38.000] And we basically got the fuck off because we, we had a couple of people reach out
[32:38.000 -> 32:41.680] and they're like, yeah, we'll give you nothing and we'll see if, uh, we'll see how it goes.
[32:41.680 -> 32:44.000] I'm like, listen, we're good.
[32:44.760 -> 32:46.240] We're good. We're really good.
[32:48.800 -> 32:53.920] But anyway, let's get on to the Imola preview and I got it. I did a little bit of research
[32:55.040 -> 33:02.800] because I got to be honest with you, the old old Imola, which in modern times was held up until
[33:02.800 -> 33:05.040] 2006 and it disappeared from the calendar.
[33:05.040 -> 33:10.720] I didn't really start watching Formula One until 2007. I was a late adopter of Formula One in the
[33:10.720 -> 33:16.400] US because especially back in the early 2000s, Formula One was pretty niche back in the day.
[33:16.400 -> 33:27.960] But the circuit dates back to 1953 with several different configurations and changes. And it was the host of San Marino Grand Prix between 81 and 2006.
[33:27.960 -> 33:33.840] But after the tragic events of the 94 San Marino Grand Prix, we had a...
[33:33.840 -> 33:34.840] Oh, of course.
[33:34.840 -> 33:37.200] Yeah, I didn't even think.
[33:37.200 -> 33:43.360] So Tamburello was a flat out left hand corner, super high speed, really bumpy.
[33:43.360 -> 33:46.000] And the runoff was basically a concrete wall.
[33:46.000 -> 33:50.560] And there was several other incidents in years prior to that. And people like this is this
[33:50.560 -> 33:57.040] is a sketchy place. And then that weekend, we lost Bratzenberger and Sinha in the same
[33:57.040 -> 34:04.160] spot, I believe. But really tragic. But yeah, Autodromo and Dino Ferrari.
[34:04.160 -> 34:07.120] I've never watched a race on the old. I think I've only ever seen a race
[34:07.120 -> 34:14.720] there similar to you since it, you know, it came back in 2020. Yeah. So the track is super cool,
[34:14.720 -> 34:19.120] though, going through watching the replays. It's got everything. It's got low speed chicanes,
[34:19.120 -> 34:26.960] high speed chicanes, low speed corners, medium speed, corn high speed corners, long straights, high top speeds, and it's got gravel runoff.
[34:28.240 -> 34:29.840] It's punishing a rarity.
[34:30.480 -> 34:31.680] Yeah, and it's it's it's
[34:31.680 -> 34:32.960] it's a punishing track
[34:32.960 -> 34:34.240] with some elevation change.
[34:34.240 -> 34:36.160] So I've got some trivia for you, Dan.
[34:37.040 -> 34:37.540] Shit.
[34:38.960 -> 34:41.200] Lewis Hamilton holds the race
[34:41.200 -> 34:43.040] lap record from 2020,
[34:43.040 -> 34:47.800] but there's a Red Bull employee who also holds a track
[34:47.800 -> 34:50.460] record at Imola.
[34:50.460 -> 34:52.300] A Red Bull employee.
[34:52.300 -> 34:54.840] Past or present?
[34:54.840 -> 34:55.840] Present.
[34:55.840 -> 34:56.840] Present.
[34:56.840 -> 35:03.560] What's Eiji Inoue done at Imola?
[35:03.560 -> 35:08.240] No, Helmut Marko, 1972, has the track record for Group 7.
[35:08.880 -> 35:13.040] Group 7 at the time, in the 70s, was looked like what a Can-Am car was.
[35:13.040 -> 35:16.960] So it's a two-seater side-by-side racing car, like a prototype race car.
[35:16.960 -> 35:20.400] Helmut Marko in the Group 7 track record.
[35:21.040 -> 35:21.760] Thanks, Wikipedia.
[35:21.760 -> 35:23.360] That could be trivia.
[35:24.160 -> 35:26.000] Yeah, I didn't realize that man.
[35:26.000 -> 35:28.000] Oh man.
[35:28.000 -> 35:30.000] I was like, hold on a second.
[35:30.000 -> 35:32.000] What's this dude doing here?
[35:32.000 -> 35:34.000] It's sometimes easy to forget Marko
[35:34.000 -> 35:36.000] used to be a driver.
[35:36.000 -> 35:38.000] I do forget that sometimes.
[35:38.000 -> 35:40.000] Dude, the dude's hard as fucking nails
[35:40.000 -> 35:42.000] though dude. Lost his eye to a stone
[35:42.000 -> 35:44.000] through his visor and he's back
[35:44.000 -> 35:49.280] at it right after that. What a mad lad.
[35:49.280 -> 35:53.600] So the last couple of years, it came back onto the calendar a little bit by accident
[35:53.600 -> 35:59.600] really. So in 2006 was the last Grand Prix there, then they switched just having it at
[35:59.600 -> 36:04.100] the Italian Grand Prix only in months as sometimes it had both, but it was originally intended
[36:04.100 -> 36:09.000] as a placeholder for a bunch of canceled races in 2020 because of covid.
[36:09.140 -> 36:11.080] And they're like, right, all these races have bailed.
[36:11.080 -> 36:13.940] And you guys want to fuck around and like, oh, hell yeah.
[36:14.980 -> 36:17.860] But yeah, we've had Grand Prix there since 2020.
[36:17.860 -> 36:22.480] Lewis won the 2021 and Verstappen's won 21 and 22.
[36:22.980 -> 36:28.020] I forgot that we had a sprint last year because that's how little the sprints
[36:28.020 -> 36:29.840] have an impact on anything.
[36:30.340 -> 36:31.700] Uh, yeah, yeah.
[36:31.780 -> 36:33.800] And you know who else forgot me?
[36:33.860 -> 36:37.140] Because me and you a couple of hours ago, we were in the WhatsApp group
[36:37.140 -> 36:38.260] saying, did they have a sprint now?
[36:38.260 -> 36:39.560] I don't remember there being a sprint.
[36:40.140 -> 36:43.060] So yeah, we are fraudulent to the max.
[36:43.420 -> 36:47.680] But like, honestly, so 2020 COVID times was not fun to be
[36:47.680 -> 36:53.360] working in Formula One. It was kind of shit for people to track in the factory. A lot of people
[36:53.360 -> 36:58.320] were at home. I did not. You were the same. Like I was in the factory because I had to operate the
[36:58.320 -> 37:04.880] simulator and do all the test plans. I couldn't do that from home. So 2020, let's just do a quick
[37:04.880 -> 37:05.240] round up of the last couple of years. And I think I think the races there have been pretty exciting. I couldn't do that from home. So 2020, let's just do a quick round
[37:05.240 -> 37:06.200] of the last couple of years.
[37:06.200 -> 37:08.040] And I think I think the races
[37:08.040 -> 37:09.720] there have been pretty exciting.
[37:09.720 -> 37:11.560] 2020 Bottas, Paul Hamilton,
[37:11.560 -> 37:15.080] when Verstappen, DNF, Max had a huge puncture
[37:15.080 -> 37:18.640] and walked out of that race in the gravel trap debris.
[37:19.000 -> 37:20.960] But it was classic debris.
[37:20.960 -> 37:22.400] So it's a good thing that they're updating
[37:22.400 -> 37:23.560] those tires for Silverstone.
[37:23.560 -> 37:24.360] But hopefully we don't need
[37:24.360 -> 37:25.420] upgraded tires this weekend
[37:25.940 -> 37:31.540] Russell bend it under the safety car in the Williams. Oh, yeah, and I keep forgetting all this yeah
[37:31.540 -> 37:36.740] Yeah, dude, and then a kivya and the Alpha Tower. He takes it to the front. I think he finished fourth
[37:36.740 -> 37:39.140] I was like go on my yeah on my
[37:39.780 -> 37:46.480] 2021 heavy rainfall on the grid every starts on intermedi. Schumacher bins it Latifi bins it.
[37:46.480 -> 37:51.120] He cuts off Mazipan, ends up in the wall when pitting from interest to dries around mid
[37:51.120 -> 37:54.320] race everything goes off.
[37:54.320 -> 37:56.420] Hamilton bins into the wall nose first.
[37:56.420 -> 37:58.440] He backs it out and gets it done.
[37:58.440 -> 38:01.480] Russell overtakes Bottas and he touches a little bit of a wet patch.
[38:01.480 -> 38:07.600] They have a huge shot which causes a red flag And that track is so tricky when you've got the drying line forming,
[38:08.340 -> 38:11.540] especially during the race, because that does make it tricky to overtake.
[38:11.800 -> 38:15.000] But the likelihood and probability for for mistakes is huge.
[38:15.000 -> 38:19.300] The number of spins and bends that we saw on those mixed conditions.
[38:19.600 -> 38:22.800] It's like it's a better version of what happened in Singapore last year.
[38:22.800 -> 38:28.080] Remember on the enters and there was one line forming and you had to stay on that line.
[38:28.080 -> 38:31.000] And then when you went on slicks, it was so dangerous.
[38:31.000 -> 38:32.000] It's like that.
[38:32.000 -> 38:33.000] Sign me up.
[38:33.000 -> 38:38.000] And that was the birth of George terrorism tour Russell.
[38:38.000 -> 38:40.280] I love it.
[38:40.280 -> 38:45.560] Stepped out of the car and basically gave a very stern talking to to Bottas.
[38:46.080 -> 38:48.240] He slapped him with his glove in the helmet.
[38:48.240 -> 38:51.000] I'm coming for your seat next year, you fucking bitch.
[38:54.360 -> 38:56.040] Oh, my God.
[38:56.040 -> 38:57.280] Erickson hit him.
[38:57.280 -> 38:59.640] But last year, 2022 was Sprint Weekend.
[38:59.640 -> 39:02.640] I forgot about the Sprint entirely because let's be honest, Sprints aren't real.
[39:02.840 -> 39:09.600] I was on the Sprint hype train, but I'm over it. Honestly. The race was another interstart and this weekend looks like it could
[39:09.600 -> 39:14.480] be wet as well. Verstappen pair his front row. Ricardo assassinate signs in the Ferrari.
[39:15.040 -> 39:22.240] Alonso retires early. Leclerc takes a sausage curb and ends up in trouble. Norris on the podium.
[39:22.960 -> 39:25.160] Norris was also on the podium in 2021.
[39:25.160 -> 39:26.320] Oh yeah.
[39:26.320 -> 39:27.360] So he was, yeah.
[39:27.960 -> 39:30.040] So Verstappen's won 21 and 22.
[39:30.240 -> 39:30.440] Yeah.
[39:30.480 -> 39:31.640] Norris has been third.
[39:32.200 -> 39:35.320] Both those years in Hamilton was P2 and then Paris was P2.
[39:35.320 -> 39:35.760] So.
[39:36.640 -> 39:37.320] Yeah.
[39:37.760 -> 39:37.960] Yeah.
[39:37.960 -> 39:39.600] And who would have thought last year?
[39:39.640 -> 39:41.800] Cause McLaren didn't look too hot last year either.
[39:41.800 -> 39:42.200] Did they?
[39:42.440 -> 39:45.660] No, no, no, but like that was beginning of the season
[39:45.660 -> 39:47.380] where we were like race four or something.
[39:47.380 -> 39:49.740] Yeah, I mean, sorry, McLaren fans,
[39:49.740 -> 39:50.620] I don't think there's any danger
[39:50.620 -> 39:51.820] of it happening again this year,
[39:51.820 -> 39:53.460] but hey, who knows, stranger things have happened.
[39:53.460 -> 39:55.580] Who knows, stranger things.
[39:55.580 -> 39:57.580] Yeah, maybe that upgrade's gonna work out,
[39:57.580 -> 40:00.180] but let's talk about this weekend, Dan,
[40:00.180 -> 40:02.300] and let's start with, from memory,
[40:02.300 -> 40:04.660] recite the full name of the Grand Prix.
[40:04.660 -> 40:07.620] I'm not fucking, I can't do it from memory because it's in front of me.
[40:07.620 -> 40:08.560] So I can actually see it.
[40:09.060 -> 40:09.280] All right.
[40:09.280 -> 40:09.380] Yeah.
[40:09.380 -> 40:09.800] Then do it.
[40:09.800 -> 40:10.620] Pretend it's from memory.
[40:13.200 -> 40:15.960] Let me just take a deep breath for this one.
[40:17.760 -> 40:21.520] Formula one Qatar airways, grand promo del made in Italy, the aid
[40:21.520 -> 40:23.640] LME LIA Romania, 2023.
[40:28.080 -> 40:34.400] It's just like, it's got that thing. It's got that thing. Like when I hear that, I'm just fucking excited, man. I'm ready for Ferrari to win this
[40:34.400 -> 40:40.640] race. That's what that tells me. Yeah. Someone in the chat says I'm Italian. I'm going to judge
[40:40.640 -> 40:46.520] your pronunciation. Look, I'm sorry. I'm shit at names. I'm shit at languages.
[40:46.520 -> 40:48.360] I can barely speak English.
[40:48.360 -> 40:50.120] What are you good at?
[40:50.120 -> 40:53.440] Moaning, being old, being a dad.
[40:53.440 -> 40:55.120] My back hurts.
[40:55.120 -> 40:56.080] My back hurts, too.
[40:56.080 -> 40:57.440] I'm just here for dad life.
[40:57.440 -> 40:58.000] That's me.
[40:58.000 -> 40:59.000] I love it, man.
[40:59.000 -> 41:00.440] You know what?
[41:00.440 -> 41:01.520] That's a noble cause.
[41:01.520 -> 41:02.680] It's a good one.
[41:02.680 -> 41:03.400] Thank you.
[41:03.400 -> 41:05.800] I've fulfilled my purpose in life.
[41:05.800 -> 41:08.240] Now I'm just waiting to die.
[41:08.240 -> 41:09.600] I saw your picture.
[41:09.600 -> 41:14.640] I saw your photo on Twitter with you were out with the little man out for drinks and
[41:14.640 -> 41:17.560] he was on the red wine or the grape juice and the juicy bottle.
[41:17.560 -> 41:19.800] So you had to designate a driver on the weekend.
[41:19.800 -> 41:21.680] Yeah, he's he's a mate.
[41:21.680 -> 41:23.000] He's full full Stevenage.
[41:23.000 -> 41:28.840] That boy, mad lad.
[41:29.940 -> 41:32.440] So here's something we haven't heard about since February.
[41:32.440 -> 41:34.580] Before the season even started,
[41:34.580 -> 41:37.340] apparently they've performed Pirelli.
[41:37.340 -> 41:38.140] I was gonna say Ferrari,
[41:38.140 -> 41:39.540] but like to me they're the same.
[41:39.540 -> 41:40.880] They were going to bring a new
[41:40.880 -> 41:42.720] wet weather tire to Emma.
[41:42.720 -> 41:43.220] But we've not.
[41:43.220 -> 41:44.360] I googled this.
[41:44.360 -> 41:46.200] I googled the shit out of this and it's
[41:46.200 -> 41:48.100] been dead quiet since February.
[41:48.460 -> 41:51.940] And there's a lot of criticism last year because we were not running
[41:52.180 -> 41:54.880] the tires in the wet anywhere because a.
[41:55.620 -> 41:58.560] They produce too much spray, which is the whole point of a wet weather tire is to
[41:58.560 -> 42:01.360] get the water off of the track so the tires can grip the ground.
[42:01.660 -> 42:03.240] You've got to put that water somewhere.
[42:03.560 -> 42:04.460] It goes in the air.
[42:05.960 -> 42:06.200] Yeah, perfect. That in the air. Yeah.
[42:06.520 -> 42:06.920] Perfect.
[42:06.920 -> 42:07.440] That's what happens.
[42:07.520 -> 42:07.960] Perfect.
[42:07.960 -> 42:08.400] If it was a bit.
[42:08.960 -> 42:09.480] Oh God.
[42:09.480 -> 42:10.840] I'm just for up in my own mouth.
[42:10.840 -> 42:12.960] That's how fucking sick of the wet tires I am.
[42:13.800 -> 42:15.560] Uh, perfect for visibility.
[42:16.120 -> 42:16.840] Uh, visibility.
[42:16.840 -> 42:21.080] Who would have thought that when you put massive giant wheels on and ground
[42:21.080 -> 42:24.640] effect arrow that you may just fucking kicked up, kick up a load of fucking
[42:24.640 -> 42:25.080] spray, who would have thought? Yeah. So I don't, I don't know. and ground effect arrow that you may just fucking kicked up. Kick up a load of fucking spray.
[42:25.080 -> 42:26.240] Who would have thought?
[42:26.240 -> 42:28.880] Yeah, so I don't I don't know.
[42:29.320 -> 42:32.320] I think they just need to figure out when they can run it.
[42:32.320 -> 42:35.520] If there's huge water, that's a track issue.
[42:35.520 -> 42:37.560] They need to sort rivers like that if they can.
[42:37.640 -> 42:39.480] Sometimes they can't.
[42:39.560 -> 42:40.240] Other than that.
[42:41.440 -> 42:43.320] The drivers have to take margin in the spray.
[42:43.320 -> 42:44.080] That's it.
[42:44.080 -> 42:45.960] Yeah, like we should have
[42:45.960 -> 42:51.160] wet tires that work, but we've also so we've had a sprint weekend that made some changes
[42:51.160 -> 42:56.320] to that. But this weekend, Dan, this week, which you which you've pointed out, which
[42:56.320 -> 43:00.960] I completely lost track of, just like the fact that we're supposed to have new tires
[43:00.960 -> 43:05.000] this weekend. We're trying a new qualifying format this weekend.
[43:06.440 -> 43:08.520] Yeah, boy.
[43:08.520 -> 43:09.920] So let's talk about it.
[43:09.920 -> 43:10.920] Let's talk about it.
[43:10.920 -> 43:13.880] I think I mentioned this with Tomo,
[43:13.880 -> 43:15.240] when we're talking about how to improve
[43:15.240 -> 43:16.720] the sprint qualifying,
[43:16.720 -> 43:18.040] because they did in Baku,
[43:18.040 -> 43:19.640] the sprint qualifying was mandatory,
[43:19.640 -> 43:21.240] medium, medium, soft.
[43:22.120 -> 43:22.960] Yeah.
[43:22.960 -> 43:27.520] Well, I also totally forgot they were bringing this in because now it is mandatory
[43:28.240 -> 43:35.440] Q1 hard tires for everyone. If you get through to Q2 congratulations it's mandatory mediums.
[43:35.440 -> 43:47.220] Mediums sorry. And uh congratulations if you make it into the top 10, you are now mandatory running soft tires.
[43:53.140 -> 43:53.860] Um, but the 18, 15, 12 minute segments are qualifying remain unchanged.
[43:55.420 -> 43:58.100] Uh, but here's, here's a fun one. You know how we're all sick and tired of one one-stop races.
[44:00.540 -> 44:06.560] Well, they might inadvertently be here to stay because they're reducing the amount of
[44:06.560 -> 44:12.460] tires available to the teams this weekend as well from 13 sets to 11 for this set style.
[44:12.460 -> 44:16.460] But like that's, I think that doesn't bother me so much because let's say a lot of teams
[44:16.460 -> 44:19.680] like your slower teams that run two softs in Q1.
[44:19.680 -> 44:22.180] If you get in, you'll run two softs in Q2.
[44:22.180 -> 44:25.520] The faster teams will run a new soft in Q1, maybe a new soft
[44:25.520 -> 44:32.440] in Q2, then throw two sets on for Q3. So I'm not sure if that's going to have a. I don't
[44:32.440 -> 44:36.680] know, but I think bigger thing which we've talked about, we haven't really talked about
[44:36.680 -> 44:43.120] is they specify mandatory race tire. And I don't think there's anything against them
[44:43.120 -> 44:45.460] specifying the soft as a mandatory race
[44:45.460 -> 44:46.460] tire.
[44:46.460 -> 44:49.580] But you would still do a soft hard one stop.
[44:49.580 -> 44:52.820] Any of those races pass so that doesn't change anything.
[44:52.820 -> 44:53.820] No, no.
[44:53.820 -> 44:58.380] And the way it's working out for this.
[44:58.380 -> 45:03.940] I think because in the past you can teams are allowed to sort of mess around with their
[45:03.940 -> 45:10.720] distribution of tires and what they get. But I think for this one, they're forcing everyone to take three sets of
[45:10.720 -> 45:18.560] hard four sets of medium and four softs. I think the tires you've been the specification or the
[45:18.560 -> 45:21.920] allocation has been fixed. I think for this season, I don't remember when they introduced
[45:21.920 -> 45:27.280] that. So that's a simpler. So they, so now they still, that was one of those things I was like, wait, when did that happen?
[45:27.280 -> 45:31.040] I had to figure that out the hard way, but yeah, so you've got a fixed allocation. Everybody has
[45:31.040 -> 45:36.080] the same sets. Um, and yeah, what's an interest don't change in terms of the quantity, but
[45:36.080 -> 45:41.600] this could all be a moot point because if qualifying is wet, well, yeah, no, here's
[45:41.600 -> 45:47.280] a, here's a question. As a recording and it's's what Monday night it said 5050 on my weather app.
[45:47.280 -> 45:48.280] It was going to rain.
[45:48.280 -> 45:51.480] Toss the coin, ladies and gentlemen.
[45:51.480 -> 45:55.720] What do you do you have to do you only get one set of hard, medium and soft and Q1, two
[45:55.720 -> 45:56.720] and three?
[45:56.720 -> 45:59.720] Or do you don't know?
[45:59.720 -> 46:00.720] I didn't say.
[46:00.720 -> 46:01.720] I didn't say.
[46:01.720 -> 46:02.720] Well, we'll see.
[46:02.720 -> 46:06.080] Well, I'm sure as we get closer to the weekend,
[46:06.080 -> 46:10.200] more people will be asking the questions because the best we've got is press releases from
[46:10.200 -> 46:19.240] everybody else. So, yeah. But hey, guess what else is happening this weekend? Uh, the terrorism
[46:19.240 -> 46:28.080] tour continues. Possibly. Okay. Mercedes fans rejoice. is time finally Toto Wolf and the team have seen the error
[46:28.080 -> 46:33.760] of their ways and they are bringing a tracing paper copied version of the RB side pods to the
[46:33.760 -> 46:41.280] Mercedes. Yes it is the big Mercedes upgrade. Apparently they are bringing new suspension,
[46:41.280 -> 46:47.520] new bodywork and some other bits and pieces. All and pieces. And not all of it will be visible externally according to Tobii.
[46:47.520 -> 46:54.080] So they've got pushrod rear suspension, 3000% anti-dive on the front, 3000%
[46:54.640 -> 46:58.800] anti-lift on the rear, 500% pro squat on the rear as well.
[46:59.600 -> 47:00.100] Yep.
[47:01.120 -> 47:04.480] I heard on YouTube that's what Red Bull are doing. That's why they're good.
[47:04.480 -> 47:07.640] Yeah, their official engineering chat there.
[47:08.320 -> 47:09.520] So here's the thing, right?
[47:09.840 -> 47:10.360] Go on.
[47:10.920 -> 47:12.600] If these upgrades arrive,
[47:13.520 -> 47:15.720] and they do the business,
[47:15.720 -> 47:19.440] and Mercedes do really well, right?
[47:21.440 -> 47:24.200] The internet is going to basically set fire to them and say,
[47:24.200 -> 47:26.320] well, why didn't you bring this 18 months ago?
[47:26.320 -> 47:28.320] Right?
[47:28.320 -> 47:30.320] Cynical man. You're not wrong.
[47:30.320 -> 47:38.320] If they bring these upgrades and they're shit, the internet will set fire to them and say, why are these upgrades so shit?
[47:38.320 -> 47:42.320] Basically, I think Mercedes are doomed either way here.
[47:42.320 -> 47:44.320] The duality of F1 Twitter.
[47:44.320 -> 47:45.400] Yeah. Let's be honest, both sides the duality of f1 Twitter. Yeah
[47:48.500 -> 47:49.740] Let's be honest both sides of that coin f1 Twitter's dogshit
[47:55.860 -> 47:56.180] But I like the last time we in since since the introduction of the hybrid v6 is
[48:03.000 -> 48:06.200] When is the last time we saw any team bring an upgrade that was so clear. It was an upgrade It was you know, they made a huge pecking order change over a single weekend
[48:06.200 -> 48:08.200] I don't recall any
[48:11.680 -> 48:13.680] No, I'm trying to think and I can't
[48:15.280 -> 48:20.600] Listening and you know, I mean in the YouTube comments, we'll have a look exactly or at us on Twitter
[48:20.600 -> 48:30.640] Be like this is the time that they found the golden bullet. But yeah, snakes is going to have a look. But I this era of Formula One, if they were going to find it, they would
[48:30.640 -> 48:34.800] have already found it. And this is about incremental gains over a long period of time,
[48:34.800 -> 48:39.440] trying new stuff on the car, seeing how it works, going back to the tools, iterate,
[48:39.440 -> 48:46.480] repeat, repeat, but finding half a second on a single upgrade. Now.
[48:49.640 -> 48:51.240] I mean, somehow Aston Martin have done it with a brand new car over the winter, which blows my mind, but yeah.
[48:52.440 -> 48:52.840] That's it.
[48:53.160 -> 48:53.440] Yeah.
[48:53.480 -> 48:57.120] I don't, you know, I don't like you say, this isn't, this isn't magically going to
[48:57.120 -> 49:01.960] make them quicker than red bull, but maybe it will make them more consistently fine
[49:01.960 -> 49:02.840] for podiums.
[49:02.920 -> 49:03.640] Who knows?
[49:03.880 -> 49:09.120] Um, Ferrari at the moment don't seem to understand their upgrade, bless them.
[49:09.120 -> 49:12.960] And the Aston hype train can only last for so long.
[49:12.960 -> 49:17.160] I think the Aston hype trains got a little bit of, they got a bit of fuel in that locomotive.
[49:17.160 -> 49:18.160] Yeah.
[49:18.160 -> 49:19.160] And you think this, do you think they've got the capabilities?
[49:19.160 -> 49:20.160] Christ, I can't even fucking talk today.
[49:20.160 -> 49:21.160] You think they got the facilities and the capabilities?
[49:21.160 -> 49:22.160] They got the facilities, big man.
[49:22.160 -> 49:23.160] I don't think they got the facilities.
[49:23.160 -> 49:24.160] I think they got the facilities.
[49:24.160 -> 49:26.320] I don't think they got the facilities. I don't think they got the facilities. I don't think they got the facilities. I don't think they. Ba da ba ba. You think they got the facilities and the capabilities?
[49:26.320 -> 49:28.800] They got the facilities, big man.
[49:29.600 -> 49:31.440] I don't think they got the facilities, big man.
[49:33.760 -> 49:38.080] I think, but like, but like at the same time, like, even if they just hold on to that,
[49:39.440 -> 49:44.240] second, third and the constructors shouldn't be unthinkable.
[49:44.880 -> 49:46.880] Whether or not it happens or not, it's fucking
[49:46.880 -> 49:51.040] Formula One, man. We're on race five. It is close at the moment, isn't it? In terms of the
[49:51.040 -> 49:55.280] constructors points between Merc and Aston, I think there's only like what, five points in it
[49:55.280 -> 50:01.760] or something? Yeah, exactly. So let's see. Yeah, we'll see. So all eyes on Mercedes for their
[50:01.760 -> 50:06.120] upgrade. They also, Tony Wolfe also says, I picked this up as well,
[50:06.120 -> 50:09.000] he said that this is such a large upgrade, they're not even going to bother testing it
[50:09.000 -> 50:12.400] back to back, they're just going to bang it on both cars.
[50:12.400 -> 50:17.560] The problem with that probably means, and here's how I interpret that, like you said
[50:17.560 -> 50:22.780] that the upgrade is so big, which is it's so many changes to the car, if it's say it's
[50:22.780 -> 50:25.840] new bodywork, you could have it so that you actually
[50:25.840 -> 50:31.440] have to strip fairings off the bare chassis or survival cell in order to bolt on the new stuff.
[50:31.440 -> 50:37.280] So it's impossible to back to back that. And if they had to do it, they it sounds like the belief
[50:37.280 -> 50:41.440] strongly enough that it's an upgrade that they don't want to back to back it. And they want both
[50:41.440 -> 50:46.120] Lewis and George to have those components starting the weekend and work from there.
[50:46.120 -> 50:47.120] That's it.
[50:47.120 -> 50:49.440] They've hedged bets on that and it's a strong move.
[50:49.440 -> 50:50.440] Yep.
[50:50.440 -> 50:54.320] Let's hope they keep it clean because if they're bringing out grades to both cars, I'd imagine
[50:54.320 -> 50:57.200] their spares department is looking quite bare.
[50:57.200 -> 50:59.080] Yeah, exactly.
[50:59.080 -> 51:03.960] If you've got a big philosophical change, you're not going to have 20, you're not going
[51:03.960 -> 51:05.720] to have five sets of that thing.
[51:06.160 -> 51:06.320] Yeah.
[51:06.320 -> 51:06.640] Are you?
[51:07.200 -> 51:07.560] Yeah.
[51:07.640 -> 51:10.600] So cost cap, they're spinning, they're spinning some tokens right now, man.
[51:10.640 -> 51:14.720] And I, and I hope, I hope they do find a reasonable chunk because then we
[51:14.720 -> 51:17.120] can see them even closer more often.
[51:17.760 -> 51:20.000] I just don't see anybody catching Red Bull this season.
[51:22.080 -> 51:22.440] No, no.
[51:22.480 -> 51:27.600] I think the gains they have made this early in the season, it's going to carry them
[51:27.600 -> 51:32.640] all the way through to the end, even when this, what do you call it?
[51:32.640 -> 51:33.640] ATR restriction.
[51:33.640 -> 51:34.640] Yes, thank you.
[51:34.640 -> 51:35.640] Yeah.
[51:35.640 -> 51:38.480] When they kick in, if other teams catch up, I just don't think it will be enough.
[51:38.480 -> 51:39.480] Yeah, exactly.
[51:39.480 -> 51:42.440] And that is the problem with the cost cap.
[51:42.440 -> 51:47.940] Once a team is dominant, it's very difficult for any other team to spend to catch up.
[51:49.000 -> 51:51.920] Yeah, and I feel like the ATR,
[51:51.920 -> 51:53.320] so if you're not familiar with it,
[51:53.320 -> 51:56.160] the further up you finish in the Constructors Championship,
[51:56.160 -> 51:57.840] the less aero development time you get.
[51:57.840 -> 52:00.000] So ATR is aero test restriction.
[52:00.000 -> 52:03.160] Red Bull have 60%, or is it 70%,
[52:03.160 -> 52:06.320] and then they've got a penalty of 10% on top of that.
[52:06.320 -> 52:08.040] So, you know, the baseline
[52:08.040 -> 52:09.680] and then the really little slow teams
[52:09.680 -> 52:13.800] will get like 120 or 140% of baseline.
[52:13.800 -> 52:16.560] But that's the kind of thing like
[52:17.440 -> 52:20.320] after that is judged at the end of the season,
[52:20.320 -> 52:22.480] that adjusts your budget for the next year
[52:22.480 -> 52:24.080] in terms of development time.
[52:24.080 -> 52:27.400] You're not gonna see it till the end of the season when people have already burned all their tokens.
[52:27.400 -> 52:32.600] And, uh, let's see, Red Bull have pulled one out, Aston Martin have pulled a strong one,
[52:32.600 -> 52:37.720] and Ferrari, they've got good one-lap pace, but their race pace is horrible.
[52:37.720 -> 52:44.520] And we could talk about that another time, but why don't we vibe out and give our predictions for the race weekend.
[52:44.520 -> 52:47.460] We've got qualifying and podium.
[52:47.760 -> 52:51.380] So we do top five and qualifying Dan speak.
[52:51.520 -> 52:51.760] Right.
[52:51.760 -> 52:53.680] I mean, I'll talk about it as you get, I'll talk to him as you go.
[52:53.860 -> 52:54.400] I'm going to do this.
[52:54.560 -> 52:54.840] Okay.
[52:54.840 -> 52:55.660] You type it as a go.
[52:55.720 -> 52:55.880] Yeah.
[52:55.880 -> 52:56.680] I put you off top my head.
[52:56.680 -> 52:58.280] Cause I didn't, I didn't prepare these.
[52:58.360 -> 52:59.680] Uh, no, but the vibes are better.
[52:59.680 -> 53:01.560] The vibes are more potent this way.
[53:01.760 -> 53:05.640] Uh, I think Charles is going to the Quali merchant is gonna do
[53:05.640 -> 53:16.160] it again. I think Verstappen, classic circuit. I think, I think you know, I think
[53:16.160 -> 53:25.000] the Mercedes upgrades might make them cook. Let's stick Hamilton P3. Let's put signs. I don't give a shit. Sue me. And who am I missing?
[53:25.000 -> 53:26.000] McClurk, Staffan, Hamilton, signs, Perez.
[53:26.000 -> 53:27.000] Okay.
[53:27.000 -> 53:28.000] Perez only P5.
[53:28.000 -> 53:41.240] So you, based on that, so there's a little bit of, you sprinkle a bit of hopium on that,
[53:41.240 -> 53:44.440] that the upgrade is going to work and get them in the mix.
[53:44.440 -> 53:46.240] I could see realistically in terms of
[53:46.240 -> 53:47.040] single app pace.
[53:47.680 -> 53:48.720] The Claire.
[53:50.720 -> 53:52.720] But yeah, and we'll pick these apart
[53:52.720 -> 53:53.600] next week, right?
[53:54.320 -> 53:56.160] Apparently Aston have upgrades as well.
[53:56.800 -> 53:58.560] But I'm going to team as well,
[53:58.560 -> 53:59.760] because it's the first European.
[54:01.440 -> 54:02.320] Yeah, that's right.
[54:03.280 -> 54:04.560] Yeah, so I'm going to go.
[54:04.560 -> 54:07.600] I'm going to leave Aston out this weekend, but I think I will regret
[54:07.600 -> 54:10.300] that, honestly, but I'm going for Stappen, Perez, Leclerc.
[54:10.300 -> 54:12.700] No, I've got Alonzo there, P4 and Hamilton.
[54:14.200 -> 54:15.400] So that's that's mine.
[54:15.400 -> 54:19.800] I don't have signs in mine and you don't have Alonzo in yours, but
[54:19.800 -> 54:21.400] otherwise fairly similar.
[54:22.600 -> 54:23.700] We're on the same page.
[54:23.700 -> 54:25.500] Podium, top three.
[54:28.200 -> 54:31.300] Well, I can see your podium predictions and it's so fucking
[54:31.300 -> 54:32.100] predictable.
[54:32.100 -> 54:35.800] You've basically gone for the magnolia wall color choice of
[54:35.800 -> 54:37.000] predictions, right?
[54:37.500 -> 54:38.500] It's a safe bet.
[54:38.500 -> 54:39.300] Everyone loves it.
[54:39.300 -> 54:42.500] So here we go down to me ladies and gentlemen to fucking put
[54:42.500 -> 54:43.600] it on right out there.
[54:44.600 -> 54:46.480] Can we get some boo-oo cello horn real quick?
[54:46.480 -> 54:47.480] I don't have that.
[54:47.480 -> 54:48.480] I got.
[54:48.480 -> 54:49.480] OK, that's fine.
[54:49.480 -> 54:50.480] I got.
[54:50.480 -> 54:51.480] Yeah, that one.
[54:51.480 -> 54:52.480] That one.
[54:52.480 -> 54:53.480] Sorry, that's the one I wanted.
[54:53.480 -> 54:57.640] So Alonzo is going to win.
[54:57.640 -> 55:01.160] Oh, let's go.
[55:01.160 -> 55:06.000] Nice and then it's going to be for staffing.
[55:06.500 -> 55:07.240] Okay.
[55:10.520 -> 55:15.000] Uh, and then let's shit. How's, uh, put Norris on there.
[55:15.600 -> 55:16.720] No fucking way.
[55:16.720 -> 55:17.800] Three years in a row.
[55:17.800 -> 55:18.440] Three years in a row.
[55:18.440 -> 55:19.720] Holy trifecta.
[55:20.560 -> 55:25.280] Oh, why don't you, um, Why don't you introduce our next segment?
[55:25.280 -> 55:31.440] You know, before you do that, though, I think you've got basically maybe Alonzo having a
[55:31.440 -> 55:32.520] shit quality.
[55:32.520 -> 55:36.900] Maybe it's wet and he doesn't get it together and then he storms through the fucking field
[55:36.900 -> 55:42.000] and maybe it's a lucky safety car and comes out and absolutely shit houses a dub.
[55:42.000 -> 55:43.000] Yeah.
[55:43.000 -> 55:44.000] Fuck.
[55:44.000 -> 55:46.480] Yeah. I honestly. You. Fuck yeah, I honestly.
[55:46.480 -> 55:48.080] You believe in it, yeah?
[55:48.080 -> 55:50.080] No, I would just be fucking excited.
[55:50.080 -> 55:51.640] I would be full hype for that.
[55:51.640 -> 55:53.280] If that happened, that would be.
[55:53.280 -> 55:56.120] Could be an all time classic, maybe.
[55:56.120 -> 55:58.200] Yeah, Emila, why not?
[55:58.200 -> 56:01.960] Classic track, classic race, classic driver.
[56:01.960 -> 56:03.480] Yeah, beautiful.
[56:03.480 -> 56:08.680] Anyway, is it time for what I think it's time for
[56:08.680 -> 56:11.600] oh yes
[56:22.280 -> 56:29.320] Oh boom hey there ladies and gentlemen because I totally forgot to load my random
[56:29.320 -> 56:32.320] picker. Would you like to just quickly explain what this is while I do that?
[56:32.320 -> 56:37.040] Yeah. So basically we got accused of being way too readable bias. So every weekend we're
[56:37.040 -> 56:41.080] going to spend a little bit more time focusing on a random team every week. And we're going
[56:41.080 -> 56:49.840] to give you a little report card on them and tell you how they did. We will pay extra attention while we're consuming the weekend's content and make notes about their
[56:49.840 -> 56:54.480] performances, the highs, the lows and offer encouraging words. Uh.
[56:56.720 -> 56:59.760] How's that? Sure, yeah, that was good enough for me.
[57:02.640 -> 57:05.400] Uh, Barry, Barry is going to pick a team too this weekend.
[57:05.420 -> 57:05.840] No, he's not.
[57:06.320 -> 57:09.560] Uh, I've only got seven teams.
[57:09.640 -> 57:10.360] That's not right.
[57:11.300 -> 57:11.560] Nope.
[57:12.520 -> 57:16.160] I don't, we don't include red ball or alpha towery because obviously that
[57:16.160 -> 57:18.040] part's that's part of our rebel bias.
[57:18.280 -> 57:19.600] No, I think we leave out the tower in there.
[57:19.640 -> 57:20.000] That's fine.
[57:20.000 -> 57:20.360] You want it?
[57:20.360 -> 57:20.600] Okay.
[57:20.600 -> 57:20.880] All right.
[57:20.880 -> 57:21.440] Well, I'll let it out.
[57:21.440 -> 57:23.160] The tower, you know, then alpha towering.
[57:24.320 -> 57:25.600] I swear I'm missing a team.
[57:25.600 -> 57:29.600] Alpha Romeo, Haas, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Williams, McLaren, Mercedes.
[57:29.600 -> 57:30.800] Alpine.
[57:30.800 -> 57:32.960] For fuck's sake. Sorry Alpine.
[57:32.960 -> 57:34.240] Sorry Alpine.
[57:34.240 -> 57:35.760] Sorry Altmar.
[57:35.760 -> 57:38.240] Right, who wants to go first? Me or you?
[57:38.240 -> 57:40.080] Spin it for me baby.
[57:40.080 -> 57:41.760] I'm spinning it for you babe.
[57:44.560 -> 57:46.360] You have got yourself oh
[57:49.400 -> 57:52.400] It's just clicked over to us the mine, okay
[57:55.120 -> 57:59.740] I'm a little bit biased cuz I used to work there as well whenever forcing yeah, but say when it was for Cindy, uh
[58:01.520 -> 58:05.440] Spinning it up baby. Who do I get? Oh fuck.
[58:05.440 -> 58:06.440] You get Roy.
[58:06.440 -> 58:07.440] Yeah.
[58:07.440 -> 58:08.440] Amelia Romagna.
[58:08.440 -> 58:09.440] Yeah, that's beautiful.
[58:09.440 -> 58:10.440] Beautiful baby.
[58:10.440 -> 58:11.440] Oh my God.
[58:11.440 -> 58:12.440] I'm looking, I'm looking forward to that.
[58:12.440 -> 58:16.520] So I think that's the end of the normal stuff, but remind everybody again, you're going to
[58:16.520 -> 58:17.520] be streaming all week.
[58:17.520 -> 58:18.520] So I'm going to be streaming all week.
[58:18.520 -> 58:19.520] So I'm going to be streaming all week.
[58:19.520 -> 58:20.520] So I'm going to be streaming all week.
[58:20.520 -> 58:21.520] So I'm going to be streaming all week.
[58:21.520 -> 58:22.520] So I'm going to be streaming all week.
[58:22.520 -> 58:23.520] So I'm going to be streaming all week.
[58:23.520 -> 58:24.520] So I'm going to be streaming all week.
[58:24.520 -> 58:26.800] So I'm going to be streaming all week. So I'm going to be streaming all week. So I'm going to be streaming all week. So I'm going to be streaming all week. So I'm looking forward to that. So. I think that's the end of the normal stuff,
[58:26.800 -> 58:28.200] but remind everybody again,
[58:28.240 -> 58:29.440] you're going to be streaming
[58:29.640 -> 58:31.000] all week on Twitch.
[58:31.040 -> 58:32.840] You'd be raising money for Samaritans
[58:32.880 -> 58:34.080] mental health charity,
[58:34.120 -> 58:35.680] which you've already done bits for
[58:35.680 -> 58:37.080] and raise loads for them.
[58:37.120 -> 58:40.800] Get involved engine mode 11 on Twitch.
[58:40.840 -> 58:42.120] If you're not following us
[58:42.120 -> 58:43.720] everywhere as well, get involved.
[58:43.760 -> 58:50.320] I'm taking a break on streaming. I'll be live Friday. I'll be live Saturday and Sunday this week. But, uh,
[58:50.320 -> 58:55.200] your race is next weekend. The 24 hours in Le Mans. Yes. The 27 you guys. Yeah. You guys
[58:55.200 -> 58:58.600] will be getting some practice in. You guys will be doing some race Sims with your drivers.
[58:58.600 -> 59:04.640] Probably. Yeah. And again, I'll stream that all on engine mode 11 on Twitch. And if you
[59:04.640 -> 59:05.220] get bored of
[59:05.220 -> 59:09.900] Monaco, which let's be honest, you probably will. It's a 24 hour race. So we're there
[59:09.900 -> 59:12.060] all weekend from Saturday to Sunday.
[59:12.060 -> 59:17.300] Fuck yeah, let's go. Well, everybody I am I supported my local butcher last week and
[59:17.300 -> 59:23.580] I did some pork ribs on the Traeger. Excellent. We're looking at you Traeger. I love that
[59:23.580 -> 59:27.120] thing, man. Dude, honestly, I've used it for literally everything.
[59:27.120 -> 59:29.800] Sausages twice in one day.
[59:29.800 -> 59:33.680] Lunch and dinner is the weather's the weather's turning around for the better.
[59:33.680 -> 59:34.680] We will have.
[59:34.680 -> 59:36.840] Yeah, so I'll be live this weekend for Emma.
[59:36.840 -> 59:40.640] I'll be live Saturday and Sunday, an hour before qualifying an hour before the race
[59:40.640 -> 59:43.400] here on Twitch dot TV front slash break.
[59:43.400 -> 59:47.560] Yeah, so we'll see what's up, but, uh, yeah,
[59:47.600 -> 59:49.960] make the most of this rest because we've got a triple header.
[59:50.200 -> 59:53.600] So yeah, the triple headers suck, man. I'm over it. Um, yeah, I don't know.
[59:53.600 -> 59:56.640] Maybe I'll just skip Monaco entirely and just come, uh,
[59:56.660 -> 01:00:00.280] support you with some strategy or something. Oh yeah. Please. Thank you. Yeah.
[01:00:00.880 -> 01:00:04.200] Uh, I'm over triple headers. The strategies don't crash. Yeah.
[01:00:04.280 -> 01:00:06.600] Fit fuel in times when you need to in happy days.
[01:00:06.600 -> 01:00:07.680] Yeah.
[01:00:07.680 -> 01:00:09.880] All right, ladies and gentlemen,
[01:00:09.880 -> 01:00:11.940] be sure to support your local butchers.
[01:00:11.940 -> 01:00:13.800] We appreciate them.
[01:00:13.800 -> 01:00:15.880] Don't buy Tesco meat.
[01:00:15.880 -> 01:00:19.520] No, get yourself some top quality, solid meat.
[01:00:21.280 -> 01:00:24.720] Go tell your nan that you love her if she's still with us.
[01:00:26.240 -> 01:00:29.240] Tell your mom that you love her, if she's still with us. Tell your mum that you love her.
[01:00:29.240 -> 01:00:32.800] Happy Mother's Day belated by the way, by the day.
[01:00:32.800 -> 01:00:33.800] Moms you guys rule.
[01:00:33.800 -> 01:00:39.200] Check in on your mates, and if they say they're alright, double check.
[01:00:39.200 -> 01:00:41.080] And just be nice to each other.
[01:00:41.080 -> 01:00:45.440] I'm 35 years old, like, how you lot have some other
[01:00:45.440 -> 01:00:47.460] fucking energy to argue with each other on the internet
[01:00:47.460 -> 01:00:49.880] over the most pointless fucking things?
[01:00:49.880 -> 01:00:52.400] You know what, I will say, I will add to that,
[01:00:52.400 -> 01:00:53.660] I will echo that.
[01:00:53.660 -> 01:00:57.520] I did not mess with Twitter this week, or last week, sorry.
[01:00:57.520 -> 01:01:00.080] I was in the best head space I had been in for a while.
[01:01:00.080 -> 01:01:03.640] Some people just want to watch the world burn.
[01:01:03.640 -> 01:01:06.440] They have nothing better to do to spread hate and positivity
[01:01:06.640 -> 01:01:09.800] in the effort of trying to look virtuous.
[01:01:10.520 -> 01:01:11.120] Fuck them.
[01:01:11.120 -> 01:01:13.120] Yeah, just don't be so fucking negative, man.
[01:01:13.120 -> 01:01:15.000] Just chill out. Enjoy it.
[01:01:15.000 -> 01:01:16.360] Also, fuck triple headers.
[01:01:16.360 -> 01:01:17.320] Yeah, fuck triple headers.
[01:01:18.680 -> 01:01:20.200] All right. Peace out, dorks.
[01:01:20.200 -> 01:01:20.840] Fuck off.
[01:01:16.830 -> 01:01:18.830] Fuck off.
