* This strategy allowed Verstappen to maximize tire performance and secure pole position ahead of Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz Jr.
**Alonso's Strategy: A Masterstroke or a Gamble?**
* Fernando Alonso's decision to start the race on hard tires raised eyebrows, as most drivers opted for soft tires.
* Alonso's strategy paid off initially, as he gained positions during the early laps while others struggled on the soft tires.

[03:37.560 -> 03:39.440] And then we'll go into a Barcelona preview.
[03:39.440 -> 03:44.080] But before we get into that, Dan, why don't you tell us about A,
[03:46.340 -> 03:51.980] your charity raising for Samaritans a and the engine breaking cruise in the Lamar 24 hours.
[03:51.980 -> 03:53.580] I racing sim racing.
[03:53.580 -> 03:55.060] Talk to us.
[03:55.060 -> 04:00.180] That happened this weekend and it was far more enjoyable and important than that show
[04:00.180 -> 04:01.180] we call Monaco.
[04:01.180 -> 04:08.000] Um, so it went really well. We finished, uh, P6, the sister car finished P6.
[04:08.580 -> 04:11.300] Uh, the main car finished P9.
[04:11.580 -> 04:15.700] That may have something to do with the fact that I put it in the wall early in the morning.
[04:16.300 -> 04:19.260] But you guys were actually pretty, you guys were on P3 in class?
[04:19.320 -> 04:21.340] Yeah, we were, we were contending for a podium.
[04:21.600 -> 04:23.060] So yeah, we were doing well.
[04:23.160 -> 04:26.480] And, uh, all the boys that were driving, pick themselves up.
[04:26.760 -> 04:31.840] Um, they smashed it and we got, uh, 1,020 pounds.
[04:31.980 -> 04:33.560] So yeah, we beat the goal as well.
[04:33.740 -> 04:34.040] Yeah.
[04:34.140 -> 04:36.240] Go for a grand two Samaritans.
[04:36.240 -> 04:37.100] That's awesome, man.
[04:37.320 -> 04:41.960] That was the hardest thing I think I've done in a long time.
[04:42.760 -> 04:48.560] Um, and may have even got a little bit emotional when it ended on stream.
[04:48.560 -> 04:51.760] So if you want to laugh at that, you can go look at it on my Twitch.
[04:52.440 -> 04:53.480] That's wholesome as fuck.
[04:53.480 -> 04:57.280] And if you guys are not following engine mode 11 on Twitch and Twitter and YouTube,
[04:58.120 -> 04:59.440] please do that now.
[04:59.440 -> 05:02.360] Right now, if you're watching this on YouTube or listening to it on your drive
[05:02.360 -> 05:04.160] to work, do not operate your phone while you're driving.
[05:04.160 -> 05:06.320] But if you do, if you are driving to work,
[05:06.320 -> 05:07.800] give us a little toot toot, you know?
[05:07.800 -> 05:09.880] Yeah, you know the vibes.
[05:09.880 -> 05:12.760] But I could not commit to a 24 hour race
[05:12.760 -> 05:15.080] during a race weekend because of my streaming commitments
[05:15.080 -> 05:17.280] and having to do a shitload of data analysis,
[05:17.280 -> 05:20.440] which is literally just gone out on my buy me a coffee.
[05:20.440 -> 05:23.840] But I did a little three hours of Watkins Glen
[05:23.840 -> 05:25.560] with Calum races from driver
[05:25.560 -> 05:28.880] 61 and overdrive on Saturday morning.
[05:28.880 -> 05:30.780] And it was insane.
[05:30.780 -> 05:35.120] We spreadsheet ourself into doing a stop less than everybody else.
[05:35.120 -> 05:38.580] And we came out of our final stop in the lead.
[05:38.580 -> 05:40.560] And then it was heartbreaking.
[05:40.560 -> 05:46.240] Callum with Callum was so rapid and so consistent the entire race. And then probably
[05:46.240 -> 05:52.200] halfway through the final stint, the chicken in the bus stop, the chicane in the bus stop,
[05:52.200 -> 05:57.680] it moved, somebody hit it before us and moved it out. And we collected it. And then, so
[05:57.680 -> 06:02.160] I was like, you know what, we'll tow it back. I'll hop in the car. And then I got a speedy
[06:02.160 -> 06:05.480] in the pit lane, black flag. So that was a stop. Yeah, terrible. And then I got a speedy in the pit lane black flag. Uh, so that was a stop.
[06:06.240 -> 06:09.280] Yeah, terrible. And then I bend it on my outlap in the chicane, the chicken.
[06:09.280 -> 06:10.800] He's so I'm bummed.
[06:11.080 -> 06:14.640] I'm bummed, but honestly, can we, can we get some, we need to start an
[06:14.640 -> 06:19.360] engine breaking, I racing league that we could like, I'm sure we could find a night.
[06:19.520 -> 06:22.560] A week, we can do the podcast one night and then, uh, do a little

[06:43.880 -> 06:44.160] Yeah.
[06:44.680 -> 06:49.280] Um, that'd be fun, but Hey, listen, you weren't available for this one, but good
[06:49.280 -> 06:53.680] news, talk to me, there's a 12 hour of Nürburgring event we've been invited to in

[07:01.080 -> 07:01.440] Okay.
[07:01.560 -> 07:04.600] We're not, we're not deciding which one yet, but it's not going to be a nine 11
[07:04.600 -> 07:04.880] again.
[07:04.880 -> 07:06.240] Cause Jesus Christ, that thing was trying to get us the entire time. Yeah. I think OK. We're not. We're not. Which one yet, but it's not going to be a 9-11 again because Jesus Christ, that thing
[07:06.240 -> 07:08.240] was trying to get the entire time.
[07:08.240 -> 07:11.800] Yeah, I think I don't know if we'll figure out what we're going to do if we do a lead
[07:11.800 -> 07:15.400] grace will probably MX fives or something for a major breaking.
[07:15.400 -> 07:21.100] Yeah, something fucking wacky or maybe the GT, the G 86 or whatever.
[07:21.100 -> 07:22.540] That's another free car that everybody's got.
[07:22.540 -> 07:24.600] But let's figure something out.
[07:24.600 -> 07:26.120] I just put something out on Twitter today.
[07:27.000 -> 07:29.720] And I was wondering who has better catering,
[07:29.800 -> 07:33.040] Marinello, the Ferrari or Milton Keynes Red Bull Racing?
[07:33.160 -> 07:36.720] And some 30 percent of you are thinking that.
[07:37.680 -> 07:42.600] Milton Keynes would have better catering, I'm sorry, but what the what the actual
[07:42.800 -> 07:44.040] Dan, talk to me, what are you thinking?
[07:45.080 -> 07:52.240] Those 30 percent of people are clued in because they know that those 30% of people know
[07:52.240 -> 07:55.280] that outside the factory is Bianco's bistro.
[07:56.480 -> 07:56.800] Okay.
[07:56.840 -> 07:57.080] Okay.
[07:57.080 -> 07:58.580] That is, that is the Easter egg.
[07:58.580 -> 08:00.200] That is the expert as to your knowledge.
[08:00.240 -> 08:06.000] If you know about Bianco's bistro on the Tilbrook site, you are clued in and.
[08:07.200 -> 08:08.520] Yeah, yeah, check it out.
[08:08.520 -> 08:09.080] Check him out.
[08:09.080 -> 08:09.880] Big up Bianco.
[08:10.320 -> 08:11.800] Yeah, big shout out dude.
[08:11.800 -> 08:17.640] Last time I definitely didn't have to go by Red Bull for anything to do anything at all.
[08:17.840 -> 08:26.040] But last time I was there on my way out, I definitely stopped and got a breakfast roll from Bianca's Bistro.
[08:26.040 -> 08:27.980] Yep, it was insane.
[08:27.980 -> 08:28.980] It was insane.
[08:28.980 -> 08:33.480] Sausage, bacon, egg, brown sauce, the future.
[08:33.480 -> 08:35.640] They do a lovely out of yatta as well.
[08:35.640 -> 08:38.080] Yeah, the spice, the spicy pasta.
[08:38.080 -> 08:40.320] Yeah, dude, that's that's the one that is the one.
[08:40.320 -> 08:47.080] But definitely speaking of there's rumors of two Red Bull engineers joining Ferrari and guess
[08:47.080 -> 08:47.560] who it is.
[08:48.560 -> 08:52.520] Uh, well, it could be us because apparently the report also said they're not top tier.
[08:54.600 -> 08:55.840] I don't know if you saw that bit.
[08:56.000 -> 08:57.880] No, I didn't see that detail.
[08:58.000 -> 08:59.400] They're not top tier engineers.
[08:59.400 -> 09:01.000] I was like, fuck, it could be me and Blake.
[09:01.480 -> 09:04.120] Yeah, it's two washed up turds, man.
[09:04.240 -> 09:05.240] It's not flushables. I, man. It's not on flushables.
[09:05.440 -> 09:05.880] I'm sorry.
[09:05.880 -> 09:06.880] This is not us.
[09:08.840 -> 09:11.320] I don't know who is, but they ain't fucking us.
[09:11.880 -> 09:15.280] I had a recruiter reach out to me a couple of years ago about going there
[09:15.400 -> 09:16.680] and they were super cagey.
[09:16.680 -> 09:19.680] They're like, they're like, they wouldn't tell me who it was.
[09:20.280 -> 09:21.400] I was like, well, what's the job for?
[09:21.400 -> 09:23.040] And they're like, you'll have to come out.
[09:23.040 -> 09:24.440] Like, when can we book your flights?
[09:24.440 -> 09:28.880] I'm like, if you're not, I'm not. Like if it's a track side job, I don't want to go back to track.
[09:28.880 -> 09:29.880] Is it a track side job?
[09:30.280 -> 09:31.600] If I don't want that, I don't want to do it.
[09:31.600 -> 09:32.360] Then they just blanked me.
[09:32.360 -> 09:33.280] So I was like, okay, fine.
[09:33.800 -> 09:34.400] Screw you guys.
[09:34.400 -> 09:35.280] I don't want to go there anyway.
[09:35.360 -> 09:37.640] But, um, it's a track side F1 job.
[09:38.160 -> 09:40.880] Uh, it's based in Maranello, but we can't tell you what team is.
[09:42.040 -> 09:42.400] Yeah.
[09:42.840 -> 09:43.480] Yeah, exactly.
[09:43.480 -> 09:47.120] I was like, well, yeah. so if you're trying to recruit me for
[09:47.120 -> 09:51.200] Toro Rosso, it's like, I know the people that work there and I'm pretty sure it's not them.
[09:51.200 -> 09:54.640] So just fucking tell me. And they were super cagey and weird about it. And I was like,
[09:55.760 -> 10:01.040] super cagey about my interview when I went to Red Bull, I was like, really, oh, we can't tell
[10:01.040 -> 10:05.040] you much about it. And I was like, okay, well, you know, you tell me something about it.
[10:05.040 -> 10:08.580] And I'm like, oh, it's, uh, it's working in motorsport and you're going to be based in
[10:08.580 -> 10:09.580] Milton Kings.
[10:09.580 -> 10:12.160] I was like, okay, well, you might as well just fucking said Red Bull racing.
[10:12.160 -> 10:13.160] Really?
[10:13.160 -> 10:14.160] Yeah, exactly.
[10:14.160 -> 10:15.160] Dude.
[10:15.160 -> 10:21.480] Honestly, though, um, LinkedIn recruiters, there are a bunch of absolute clowns.
[10:21.480 -> 10:24.120] Some of the things that people have reached out to me, it's like, hi, I see that you're
[10:24.120 -> 10:25.040] a performance engineer.
[10:25.040 -> 10:31.200] Would you like to take this job as a senior manager managing a high performance injection
[10:31.200 -> 10:32.200] molding?
[10:32.200 -> 10:36.680] I'm like, I'm sorry, do you have two fucking brain cells to rub together?
[10:36.680 -> 10:39.760] Because that's like, look at my CV.
[10:39.760 -> 10:40.760] That's not me.
[10:40.760 -> 10:47.520] But anyway, instead, now you just like to post shit on the internet and exactly substandard
[10:47.520 -> 10:48.520] podcast with me.
[10:48.520 -> 10:49.720] You're your best friend.
[10:49.720 -> 10:50.720] It's fucking great.
[10:50.720 -> 10:52.520] I wouldn't have it anyway.
[10:52.520 -> 10:55.040] So we talk drinking from one McDonald's there.
[10:55.040 -> 10:57.640] If you heard a weird noise, that's decent.
[10:57.640 -> 10:58.640] That's decent.
[10:58.640 -> 11:00.800] That should we get onto the Monaco review?
[11:00.800 -> 11:02.880] And I'm going to keep this one short because we've got so much.
[11:02.880 -> 11:03.880] We've got Monaco.
[11:03.880 -> 11:04.880] We've got the Indy 500.
[11:04.880 -> 11:08.280] We're fucking 11 minutes in and we've not fucking really said anything of any
[11:08.280 -> 11:10.360] substance yet. So I suppose we better crack on.
[11:10.600 -> 11:12.800] Oh, you guys just you guys don't tune in for the facts.
[11:12.800 -> 11:15.280] You tune in for the vibes. And apparently I got into an argument with.
[11:16.160 -> 11:22.400] Here's the thing. Never, ever, ever try to reason or have a discussion with anybody
[11:22.400 -> 11:25.240] that has a driver profile picture on Twitter or anybody on Twitter for that matter. But if they have a driver profile picture, there's a discussion with anybody that has a driver profile picture on Twitter
[11:25.240 -> 11:26.720] or anybody on Twitter for that matter.
[11:26.720 -> 11:28.640] But if they have a driver profile picture,
[11:28.640 -> 11:31.840] there's a 100% chance that they're completely irrational,
[11:31.840 -> 11:33.880] maybe 95% chance, but seriously,
[11:35.000 -> 11:35.920] let's, what are we saying?
[11:35.920 -> 11:39.520] We're talking about Vettel pictures, Alonzo pictures,
[11:39.520 -> 11:44.520] Max pictures, Louis, George, Lando, any profile pictures.
[11:45.100 -> 11:46.200] Don't try to reason with them. It don't don't try.
[11:46.200 -> 11:48.400] Don't try to reason with them because they they don't do that.
[11:48.400 -> 11:50.500] But anyway, let's talk.
[11:50.700 -> 11:52.300] Let's talk about Monaco the build up.
[11:53.500 -> 11:55.800] Let's do it quickly because my mic on just sound like it was
[11:55.800 -> 11:57.500] about to fall off the fucking table.
[11:57.900 -> 12:00.300] Oh no, I've got one hand.
[12:00.300 -> 12:00.600] We're good.
[12:00.600 -> 12:01.100] We're good.
[12:01.800 -> 12:02.700] Oh my God.
[12:03.700 -> 12:05.880] So here's the here's
[12:06.960 -> 12:08.540] the big issue from the weekend. Did you notice the Red Bull Energy
[12:08.540 -> 12:10.020] Station, the swimming pool that's on
[12:10.020 -> 12:11.200] the energy station, which has all
[12:11.200 -> 12:12.520] the iconic photos of
[12:13.080 -> 12:15.080] Daniel Belly Flop Swan
[12:15.080 -> 12:16.680] diving into Weber doing the back
[12:16.680 -> 12:18.180] flip or front flip into and
[12:18.440 -> 12:19.760] everybody throwing the team
[12:19.760 -> 12:21.000] principal Christian and Adrian into
[12:21.000 -> 12:21.800] the pool.
[12:21.800 -> 12:23.520] The pool was not full of water this
[12:23.520 -> 12:25.680] year. It was full of balls.
[12:26.560 -> 12:31.680] It was. It was full of balls of the plastic variety.
[12:34.320 -> 12:38.480] I understand it's because they were not allowed to fill it up with water because there's a drought
[12:38.480 -> 12:42.640] or something in the area. Yeah, that's what I heard. So apparently they basically can't
[12:42.640 -> 12:45.620] fill up swimming pools in Monaco because they have
[12:45.620 -> 12:47.920] not had enough rain.
[12:47.920 -> 12:50.780] So yeah, that's the big news from the buildup of the weekend.
[12:50.780 -> 12:51.780] So anyway, onto Barcelona.
[12:51.780 -> 12:55.080] No, I'm just kidding.
[12:55.080 -> 12:59.460] I didn't like free practice in Monaco is just about them gathering data and there was nothing
[12:59.460 -> 13:00.460] too crazy.
[13:00.460 -> 13:04.460] We, you know, we thought Red Bull maybe started off on the back foot and it's like, Oh, but
[13:04.460 -> 13:05.600] that's just free practice one.
[13:05.600 -> 13:06.920] I did see, did you see this video?
[13:06.920 -> 13:15.760] And there's super circumstantial videos, but it was of the turn 14, 14, 15 chicane, you
[13:15.760 -> 13:18.800] know, the slow speed when we were, everybody breaks their track on the right hand barrier.
[13:18.800 -> 13:22.320] And there's always the slow-mo shots and glancing at what was a photo from behind that.
[13:22.320 -> 13:25.880] And it was looking down at teams taking the curb.
[13:25.880 -> 13:27.840] And yes, there was a bunch of different,
[13:27.840 -> 13:30.040] you know, if you touch a little bit of the sausage
[13:30.040 -> 13:31.840] or if you just touch the little orange metal curb,
[13:31.840 -> 13:33.240] the bolt on, those are different,
[13:33.240 -> 13:36.320] but the Red Bull going through there and just nailing that,
[13:36.320 -> 13:38.960] the car basically goes through that.
[13:38.960 -> 13:41.200] And it looks like it doesn't do anything.
[13:41.200 -> 13:42.680] It just literally goes around that and settles.
[13:42.680 -> 13:43.640] There's no bounce.
[13:43.640 -> 13:44.960] Then there was a video, I thought it was the Ferrari,
[13:44.960 -> 13:46.560] but it was actually the Alfa Romeo.
[13:46.560 -> 13:48.600] And it looked like they took a similar amount of curb.
[13:48.600 -> 13:51.800] And the thing literally does like three bounces on the trot.
[13:51.800 -> 13:53.520] And there was a video of the McLaren going through there.
[13:53.520 -> 13:57.760] And he was a little bit too hot and, you know, a double bounce and sliding quite a bit.
[13:57.760 -> 14:01.080] But the Red Bull was absolutely hooked up through there this weekend.
[14:01.080 -> 14:05.080] If you go through the weekend and look at the data, especially by qualifying,
[14:07.200 -> 14:09.700] Max's confidence into those high-speed, the high-speed chicane and into the swimming pool,
[14:10.760 -> 14:11.600] it was mental.
[14:11.600 -> 14:12.420] It was mental.
[14:12.420 -> 14:14.320] That car was hooked up and nobody can get close
[14:14.320 -> 14:15.220] except for one driver.
[14:15.220 -> 14:17.740] And I'll come back to that in the swimming pool.
[14:17.740 -> 14:19.100] It was wild.
[14:19.100 -> 14:19.940] But have you been,
[14:19.940 -> 14:22.440] you've done Monaco before, haven't you?
[14:22.440 -> 14:23.280] Yeah.
[14:23.280 -> 14:24.880] Yeah.
[14:24.880 -> 14:30.720] My favorite was when the Formula Renault 3.5, the F2s or stuff we're practicing,
[14:30.720 -> 14:35.680] you basically walk across the pit lane and you're on the wall looking down into that section.
[14:35.680 -> 14:41.760] And it's so cool seeing the cars like the F2s and F3s or GP2s and GP3s at the time when I was there
[14:41.760 -> 14:47.600] going through the sections, you see everybody watching everybody and you get a train of cars and just taking a little bit too much curb.
[14:47.600 -> 14:52.640] And you have to commit, you don't, you know where that is, but you have to commit so early to that.
[14:53.920 -> 14:58.160] It was awesome. What do you, what do you remember from being at Monaco and like seeing stuff that
[14:58.160 -> 15:00.960] you don't get an appreciation for when you're watching on the television?
[15:01.600 -> 15:06.680] The fact that a large majority of spares and kit isn't actually stored in the pit lane.
[15:06.680 -> 15:08.880] It's stored out in the Harbor on the seawall.
[15:08.880 -> 15:09.880] Yeah, exactly.
[15:09.880 -> 15:14.280] It's like there's trucks in a, in a multi-story car park just parked under there.
[15:14.280 -> 15:15.280] Yeah, basically.
[15:15.280 -> 15:19.160] So like all the tire sets, most of them are all are down there.
[15:19.160 -> 15:24.120] So if you need anything like at your spares kit or anything during the event, you're,
[15:24.120 -> 15:25.400] you're fucked basically because
[15:25.400 -> 15:26.400] you can't get there.
[15:26.400 -> 15:27.400] Yeah, exactly.
[15:27.400 -> 15:29.080] And your spare chassis.
[15:29.080 -> 15:31.060] So most teams will bring a spare chassis to the race.
[15:31.060 -> 15:36.560] Not to your spare chassis in a truck somewhere in a car park or in a van very far away, locked
[15:36.560 -> 15:37.560] up and hidden.
[15:37.560 -> 15:39.180] But yeah, you're not.
[15:39.180 -> 15:42.040] If you if you have a if you do a tub and free practice.
[15:42.040 -> 15:48.760] Yeah, you're a little bit delayed because you have to wait till the track is cold or there's no cars running in order to get that car back into
[15:48.760 -> 15:49.840] the garage to rebuild it.
[15:49.840 -> 15:51.680] I said garage, god damn it.
[15:51.680 -> 15:52.680] Garage.
[15:52.680 -> 15:56.360] Garage, yeah, but um, freaking wild man.
[15:56.360 -> 16:02.380] Also as well, the random trees that they don't cut or do anything with, they just build the
[16:02.380 -> 16:04.320] building around them.
[16:04.320 -> 16:08.160] So you could like walk into like upstairs and there's just like a random
[16:08.160 -> 16:11.400] like branch of a tree going through the corner of the room or whatever.
[16:11.480 -> 16:14.080] It's just like, like, like up where they used to keep the snacks
[16:14.080 -> 16:15.280] in the refrigerator upstairs.
[16:15.280 -> 16:15.960] You're like, all right.
[16:16.680 -> 16:17.680] Yeah, that's wild, man.
[16:17.680 -> 16:20.760] That's that was something else, but it's like literally that place sucks
[16:20.760 -> 16:24.760] because there's, you know, Porsche Super Cup F2, F3, Formula Renault
[16:24.760 -> 16:25.440] three fives or whatever, all these super loud cars. That place sucks because there's, you know, Porsche Super Cup, F2, F3, Formula Renault 3.5s
[16:25.440 -> 16:28.220] or whatever, all these super loud cars.
[16:28.220 -> 16:31.520] And you're sat in the office on the pit straight
[16:31.520 -> 16:33.400] of the circuit, on the main, or not the pit straight,
[16:33.400 -> 16:34.680] but the main straight of the circuit,
[16:34.680 -> 16:35.500] trying to have meetings.
[16:35.500 -> 16:37.000] And you've got, you know, when you have meetings
[16:37.000 -> 16:40.240] in F1 team, most teams have an office with headsets
[16:40.240 -> 16:43.280] that are slightly noise isolating and a microphone
[16:43.280 -> 16:46.120] so that you can communicate back and forth with the factory.
[16:46.120 -> 16:48.360] But dude, it's impossible.
[16:48.360 -> 16:50.600] Like if you've got a hangover in Monaco,
[16:50.600 -> 16:51.920] that's not much fun, man.
[16:51.920 -> 16:53.480] And I've never had a hangover in Monaco.
[16:53.480 -> 16:56.060] No, no, no, you didn't mention it several times
[16:56.060 -> 16:57.060] in the last episode.
[16:57.060 -> 17:01.280] But can we give a quick shout out real quick,
[17:01.280 -> 17:02.560] speaking of the buildup,
[17:04.200 -> 17:08.000] the usual F1 crew were producing the television, including some new
[17:08.000 -> 17:13.500] camera shots this weekend and they were absolutely shit hot big big
[17:13.500 -> 17:17.200] props to to the F1 TV production crew.
[17:18.600 -> 17:20.100] Yeah, the Monaco TV crew.
[17:20.300 -> 17:22.000] Yeah, I believe it's not the one movement.
[17:22.600 -> 17:28.120] Yeah, I must admit when I watched it, the start of the race when they did the top down
[17:28.120 -> 17:32.400] shot I must admit it took me about three or four seconds to figure out what the fuck I'm
[17:32.400 -> 17:35.440] supposed to be looking at because it was just basically a whole bunch of roof of buildings
[17:35.440 -> 17:37.720] and I was like, oh right, the racetracks there, right?
[17:37.720 -> 17:41.700] Okay, yeah, I've never I've never seen that bit before, but in Monaco, which I've never
[17:41.700 -> 17:42.700] seen before.
[17:42.700 -> 17:43.700] That was dope.
[17:43.700 -> 17:47.480] The the shot of the hairpin, the Lowe's or whatever the hotel is called
[17:47.480 -> 17:50.800] now, forget it, but, uh, that was a good one that a top down view.
[17:50.800 -> 17:52.400] I mean, it's kind of hard to see what's going on, but it was cool
[17:52.400 -> 17:55.040] just to see that perspective, but, uh, I loved it.
[17:55.320 -> 18:00.840] Um, I don't, I don't really remember a whole lot from a free practice.
[18:00.840 -> 18:01.800] There's a couple of shunts.
[18:01.840 -> 18:05.120] I think what did Carlos Bennett once at the chicane happens?
[18:08.520 -> 18:12.200] But yeah, let's go to qualifying qualifying
[18:12.880 -> 18:17.600] Rating out of 10 rating out of 10 for that qualifying session. What do you give it bro? I'll go
[18:19.400 -> 18:21.400] Well, I give it
[18:25.520 -> 18:26.160] I give it seven purple sectors out of 10.
[18:28.760 -> 18:31.120] Yeah, I'm going to give that one an eight or nine minute. I was, I didn't know it was going to happen.
[18:31.320 -> 18:33.560] It, there was, there was so much let's, let's talk through it.
[18:33.960 -> 18:38.760] Um, Q1, what was our, what was our big event in Q1?
[18:39.160 -> 18:44.320] Uh, unfortunately, um, Sergio Perez forgot to set his watch to local time.
[18:44.920 -> 18:46.300] And, uh and he parked the
[18:46.300 -> 18:51.460] car and crashed during Q1 and not Q3.
[18:51.460 -> 18:54.100] You don't want to mix those sessions up, they're a lot different.
[18:54.100 -> 18:56.060] No, he mixed them up this year.
[18:56.060 -> 19:02.220] Yeah, Checo started from the back, he ripped the left rear corner off, did the front.
[19:02.220 -> 19:05.720] I don't know what they changed, but that car was in bad shape.
[19:05.720 -> 19:07.480] It was it was ugly.
[19:07.520 -> 19:09.440] So it was not ugly.
[19:10.320 -> 19:12.800] Under the floor because we got some
[19:12.800 -> 19:15.520] upskirt shots as it went up on the crane,
[19:16.000 -> 19:18.360] and I think Ted Kravitz mentioned this as well
[19:18.360 -> 19:20.200] because we saw I'm jumping ahead a bit,
[19:20.200 -> 19:21.240] but we saw the Ferrari,
[19:21.240 -> 19:22.200] I think in the air didn't we?
[19:22.200 -> 19:23.400] We saw the Mercedes.
[19:23.520 -> 19:24.440] Yeah, we saw everything.
[19:24.440 -> 19:29.440] Their floors look prehistoric compared to the Red Bull on the floor.
[19:30.760 -> 19:31.000] Yeah.
[19:31.280 -> 19:33.440] A thing of beauty.
[19:33.920 -> 19:34.580] You know what dude?
[19:34.640 -> 19:36.280] Adrian goes home at night.
[19:36.640 -> 19:39.920] He tucks his children into bed and then he tucks that floor into bed
[19:39.920 -> 19:40.920] and gives it a kiss goodnight.
[19:41.120 -> 19:42.680] That's how beautiful she loves it.
[19:44.120 -> 19:45.840] Man, that's freaking wild.
[19:45.840 -> 19:49.320] I wonder if how detailed and complicated those floors are
[19:49.320 -> 19:53.120] because Adrian works in two dimensions at a time.
[19:53.120 -> 19:56.720] I wonder if like, that's wild.
[19:56.720 -> 19:59.880] Look at all the different layers and the complexity of that.
[19:59.880 -> 20:03.980] I don't know if that's a drawing board job
[20:03.980 -> 20:05.600] or straight to 3D man. That's controversial, isn't it? that's a. A drawing board job or straight to 3D man that
[20:05.600 -> 20:07.500] because that thing controversial, isn't it?
[20:07.600 -> 20:11.600] That's the thing is versatile take that I think is a work of art though,
[20:11.600 -> 20:13.500] and that that car was working really well this weekend,
[20:13.500 -> 20:16.500] but we did see all those cars and I don't I don't get too excited
[20:16.500 -> 20:19.200] about looking at the floors of cars like everybody in the F1 tech
[20:19.200 -> 20:20.900] chats 11 and I'm just sort of stuff.
[20:20.900 -> 20:23.400] I don't understand it, but I can appreciate it.
[20:23.400 -> 20:25.120] You know, yeah, I get that and that's that's why it stops for me. It's like I can appreciate it, you know? Yeah, I get that.
[20:25.120 -> 20:26.320] And that's that's where it stops for me.
[20:26.320 -> 20:31.040] It's like I can appreciate that this looks complex, but I have to talk to an arrow pervert
[20:31.040 -> 20:32.520] to know what's going on.
[20:32.520 -> 20:35.800] Yeah, so yeah, that's what we got.
[20:35.800 -> 20:36.800] Checko Bendit.
[20:36.800 -> 20:37.800] He showed us the bottom.
[20:37.800 -> 20:40.000] You know I'm saying Louis.
[20:40.000 -> 20:43.960] There was a lot going on, but I think we'll keep we'll cut through this.
[20:43.960 -> 20:46.440] Louis almost doesn't make Q3 and it was.
[20:46.440 -> 20:49.600] It was touching go and Bono was like,
[20:49.600 -> 20:51.200] you know you've got one lap.
[20:51.200 -> 20:52.640] He's like the tires aren't gonna be ready.
[20:52.640 -> 20:55.120] Everything in Lewis pulled out a mega lap
[20:55.120 -> 20:57.280] to get out of Q2 into Q3.
[20:57.280 -> 21:01.360] Unfortunately he did burn up further set of tires,
[21:01.360 -> 21:06.080] so we only had one set of new softs going into Q3.
[21:06.080 -> 21:09.840] Here's my take on Q3.
[21:09.840 -> 21:12.400] Give it to me.
[21:12.400 -> 21:18.560] Alcon, Alonzo, Verstappen all had the shot at getting pulled this weekend.
[21:18.560 -> 21:21.000] Looking at the data, looking where they gained and lost time.
[21:21.000 -> 21:23.960] Yes, it's coulda, woulda, shoulda, and that's what we're here to do.
[21:23.960 -> 21:27.420] If we just say what happened, I'd just read off the fucking results of qualifying to you
[21:27.420 -> 21:30.160] and we'd all go home and we wouldn't have a podcast.
[21:30.160 -> 21:36.520] But looking at the data, Akon really only lost out a little bit in sector in turn one.
[21:36.520 -> 21:40.400] He was a little bit slow to turn one and lost out as a result of that all the way down to
[21:40.400 -> 21:43.600] turn three and maybe there was a car in front of the other cars and he didn't have anybody
[21:43.600 -> 21:45.180] he was following.
[21:45.180 -> 21:52.560] But if it was not for that turn one, Aukon would have been neck and neck with Verstappen.
[21:52.560 -> 21:53.560] He was literally dead.
[21:53.560 -> 22:00.080] Even Aukon was one of the only cars that got remotely close to Verstappen's mega, mega
[22:00.080 -> 22:01.520] sector three.
[22:01.520 -> 22:05.160] And realistically, that sector three was fantastic.
[22:05.200 -> 22:10.120] But the Aston Martin was actually just poor there on every one of Alonzo's runs
[22:10.360 -> 22:13.960] through this last sector, the chicanes just wasn't as strong as the other cars.
[22:16.120 -> 22:18.000] Just wasn't just it wasn't a strong man.
[22:18.080 -> 22:20.480] Yeah, yeah, no, it was.
[22:20.840 -> 22:22.840] I think it was very enjoyable watching them.
[22:23.960 -> 22:26.200] Have watching numerous
[22:26.280 -> 22:30.620] people possibly be on poll and some of them, not people that you're used to seeing.
[22:31.360 -> 22:35.640] Um, Charles was, wasn't really in the fight.
[22:35.640 -> 22:36.000] Was he?
[22:36.360 -> 22:41.640] I thought I put him down to be quite all right this weekend, but yeah,
[22:41.680 -> 22:43.000] I mean, he was about a 10th off.
[22:43.160 -> 22:44.800] I mean, that's, that's wild, right?
[22:44.880 -> 22:46.680] P3 a 10th off. I mean, that's, that's wild, right? P3 a 10th off. Unfortunately,
[22:46.680 -> 22:53.040] he doesn't start P3 because he, uh, he got caught up in pitting, uh, Norris.
[22:53.040 -> 22:58.840] I don't think that's his fault. I think that's a lack of communication. They were all the
[22:58.840 -> 23:01.760] Ferrari boys were sitting on the pit wall trying to pick out what yacht they want to
[23:01.760 -> 23:08.640] go to tonight. And they were like, Oh, yeah. oh, we got to watch traffic. But like, in qualifying, the race engineers are literally
[23:08.640 -> 23:14.400] watching GPS and gaps. And I think they said that the GPS wasn't working. But it's like,
[23:14.400 -> 23:18.800] you know that there's a car coming up and you're on a slow lap. Like, it doesn't matter if it's
[23:18.800 -> 23:23.360] slightly glitched, you're looking at cars that are fast cars that are slow. You've got people
[23:23.360 -> 23:28.240] to factory, you should be doing that for a pit wall question. We are checking. We'll just be back to you after
[23:28.240 -> 23:35.040] you get a three place penalty. P P three was a 10th of a second. P six was just not paying
[23:35.040 -> 23:41.360] attention. That's what happens. And that sucks. And that sucks. But Norris Norris did a track
[23:41.360 -> 23:48.400] rod in Q2 and and his car crew changed the track rod between Q2 and Q3.
[23:48.400 -> 23:51.600] We gassed up the other year in Hungary when you remember when it was wet on the way to
[23:51.600 -> 23:55.720] the grid and the crew redid Max's track rod.
[23:55.720 -> 23:57.980] That was amazing.
[23:57.980 -> 24:01.800] I don't think Lando's crew got enough gas for that, replacing that track rod between
[24:01.800 -> 24:12.460] Q2 and Q3. He was P10 just off the bubble, got through into Q3 and he only manages to get a run in
[24:12.460 -> 24:15.320] late at the end of the session and he qualifies P10.
[24:15.320 -> 24:17.760] But yeah, not bad.
[24:17.760 -> 24:19.400] Hey, he was there.
[24:19.400 -> 24:23.560] That was, you know, a lot better than what it could have been.
[24:23.560 -> 24:27.200] So you know, big up, big up new mechanics.
[24:27.200 -> 24:29.840] Yeah seriously, the unsung heroes.
[24:29.840 -> 24:34.560] If only I could hire you to come and sort my vehicles out instead of having to wait
[24:34.560 -> 24:36.520] days for them to get fixed.
[24:36.520 -> 24:38.320] Yeah, yeah, exactly.
[24:38.320 -> 24:46.420] But um, yeah, I mean Verstappen for sure absolutely nailed, absolutely nailed that sector three and looking at his
[24:46.420 -> 24:49.240] lap before that, it wasn't a sure thing.
[24:49.240 -> 24:53.420] Like he struggled on turn 12, the fast left-hander, then the fast chicane.
[24:53.420 -> 24:57.080] He was a little bit off there on the lap before, and then that final lap, he pulled the whole
[24:57.080 -> 24:58.080] thing together.
[24:58.080 -> 25:02.680] And I saw some people, you know, being like, ah, it's just because Nando sucked in sector
[25:02.680 -> 25:03.680] three.
[25:03.680 -> 25:05.160] Like the car just wasn't very good there in sector three.
[25:05.160 -> 25:07.600] That was, he was improving, improving every lap
[25:07.600 -> 25:09.200] whereas Max had a wobble on his penultimate run.
[25:09.200 -> 25:10.980] But I noticed something.
[25:12.760 -> 25:16.060] For Stappen, Hamilton did something different
[25:16.060 -> 25:18.480] than most people, maybe not most people,
[25:18.480 -> 25:20.640] but most of the people that were running up front,
[25:20.640 -> 25:23.220] especially Alcon and Alonzo.
[25:24.120 -> 25:27.500] At the end of Q2, we heard Max and GP talking
[25:27.500 -> 25:29.980] about run strategy, and Max is like,
[25:29.980 -> 25:31.620] the tires aren't ready.
[25:31.620 -> 25:33.440] And they're like, okay, I got you, fam.
[25:33.440 -> 25:34.960] And so what they end up doing is,
[25:34.960 -> 25:37.220] in qualifying, usually you do two runs.
[25:37.220 -> 25:40.560] You'll do out lap, push lap, in lap,
[25:40.560 -> 25:42.400] change tires, out lap, push lap, in lap.
[25:42.400 -> 25:43.460] Two runs in Q3, right?
[25:43.460 -> 25:46.240] Because you have, if you've done everything right
[25:46.240 -> 25:48.680] and you had margin, you've saved two fresh softs
[25:48.680 -> 25:51.560] so you can push like fuck on new tires in Q3.
[25:52.800 -> 25:54.920] Red Bull did something different.
[25:54.920 -> 25:56.520] They put enough fuel in the car
[25:56.520 -> 25:59.120] to stay out for the entire session.
[25:59.120 -> 26:04.120] They did an out lap, build lap, and then a push lap.
[26:11.520 -> 26:15.720] lap, build lap, and then a push lap. In change tires, outlap, build lap, push lap in. And that that people saw that like, oh, Max is going slow, but he was actually on those other
[26:15.720 -> 26:18.560] laps. He was on a build lap. So we're like, why is he doing two yellow sectors on his
[26:18.560 -> 26:26.720] first time lap? It's like, that's a build lap. Lewis also did that as well. I didn't realize that, but Hamilton or sorry,
[26:26.720 -> 26:31.620] Alonzo and Alcon just did fast, slow, fast, then refuel. But that was super interesting
[26:31.620 -> 26:36.520] that they kind of kept that in the pocket and they adapted after Q2 to say, you know
[26:36.520 -> 26:41.700] what, this isn't working, let's do a different strategy. And then in Monaco, what happens
[26:41.700 -> 26:43.660] in qualifying in Monaco a lot?
[26:43.660 -> 26:44.660] Red flags?
[26:44.660 -> 26:45.200] Yep. And that is why they fueled for the session instead of coming back in because you effectively In Monaco, what happens in qualifying in Monaco a lot? Uh, red flags?
[26:45.200 -> 26:48.720] Yep, and that is why they fuelled for the session instead of coming back in, because
[26:48.720 -> 26:52.360] you effectively can save it later, you don't have to waste time coming to the garage and
[26:52.360 -> 26:56.360] refuelling, but you're carrying a little bit more fuel around, but uh, yeah.
[26:56.360 -> 26:57.360] Hey.
[26:57.360 -> 26:59.320] It was a fun qualifying session, man.
[26:59.320 -> 27:01.600] I was on the edge of my seat and I was, I was shocked.
[27:01.600 -> 27:03.840] Shout out to, uh, Track Evolution.
[27:03.840 -> 27:04.840] Yeah, love that.
[27:04.840 -> 27:05.500] Get some of that Track Evolution, I'll have some track evolution. Yeah, love that.
[27:05.600 -> 27:06.700] Get some of that track evolution.
[27:06.700 -> 27:09.000] I'll have some of that that came in clutch, didn't it?
[27:09.500 -> 27:10.000] I mean, what was it?
[27:10.000 -> 27:13.400] Max's fastest lap in Q1 a 112 386.
[27:14.300 -> 27:17.000] And then by the end of Q3, he was a whole second faster.
[27:18.000 -> 27:20.400] Half a second lap track evolution and getting your lap in.
[27:20.400 -> 27:22.200] You don't know where the track is necessarily.
[27:24.000 -> 27:25.760] Should we talk about the race? Why not? No, why not necessarily. Oof, should we talk about the race?
[27:26.320 -> 27:26.560] Why not?
[27:27.400 -> 27:27.880] Uh, no, why not? We know.
[27:27.880 -> 27:28.160] Sorry.
[27:28.160 -> 27:33.320] Before we talk about the race, uh, we are going for the engine mode 11,
[27:33.640 -> 27:35.960] uh, old man rant slash slander.
[27:36.240 -> 27:36.800] Oh, let's go.
[27:36.800 -> 27:36.920] Let's go.
[27:36.920 -> 27:37.320] Let's hear it.
[27:37.320 -> 27:38.280] I need to hear some of this.
[27:38.920 -> 27:39.680] Lance stroll.
[27:41.120 -> 27:42.800] Oh, what are you doing, son?
[27:43.400 -> 27:44.360] What are you doing?
[27:44.880 -> 27:45.320] Qualified P 14 knocked out in Q2 while his teammate is nearly on Oh, what are you doing, son? What are you doing?
[27:45.320 -> 27:51.720] Qualified P14 knocked out in Q2 while his teammate is nearly on pole.
[27:51.720 -> 27:56.760] Uncomfortable conversations must be happening in that household.
[27:56.760 -> 28:00.680] Yeah, and I feel like it doesn't get any better.
[28:00.680 -> 28:02.520] Does it?
[28:02.520 -> 28:03.520] Foreshadowing foreshadowing.
[28:03.520 -> 28:04.520] Yeah.
[28:04.520 -> 28:06.520] What do you? Where's your head at?
[28:06.520 -> 28:07.320] Shout him out for that.
[28:07.320 -> 28:08.320] Yeah.
[28:08.320 -> 28:10.820] Where's my, what, sorry?
[28:10.820 -> 28:11.920] Where's your head at on that?
[28:11.920 -> 28:15.120] Like, I mean, it's his, it's his team effectively, right?
[28:15.120 -> 28:18.920] Let's come, let's come back, let's come back to the ramifications.
[28:18.920 -> 28:20.720] But what do you think about that qualifying performance?
[28:20.720 -> 28:26.880] I don't want to, um, blow smoke up my own ass, but I will say that I've spoken about
[28:26.880 -> 28:28.680] this maybe a year or two ago.
[28:28.680 -> 28:37.160] And I said one day, maybe if Aston Martin are fighting at the top of the grid and Lance
[28:37.160 -> 28:42.320] is costing them positions, there has to be a decision and it's going to be a tough one
[28:42.320 -> 28:45.560] because Lawrence is not in this.
[28:45.560 -> 28:47.760] My dogs aren't very upset with this take.
[28:47.760 -> 28:48.760] Yeah, exactly.
[28:48.760 -> 28:52.080] Lawrence isn't in this to give his son a toy to play with.
[28:52.080 -> 28:58.840] He's clearly laid down the law and basically said, look, I'm in this to win this.
[28:58.840 -> 28:59.840] And they've shown it.
[28:59.840 -> 29:01.480] Are you going to win this with your son driving?
[29:01.480 -> 29:05.440] That's a tough,, tough trough.
[29:06.880 -> 29:08.120] I can have a conversation.
[29:09.920 -> 29:10.120] Oh, a riled wide that one.
[29:11.280 -> 29:14.040] That's going to be a riled wide. I'm still not fucking for being awake 24 hours.
[29:14.040 -> 29:17.160] My, yeah, that's, that's nuts, man.
[29:17.160 -> 29:19.920] What could have, what, what could have been, what could have been.
[29:20.960 -> 29:21.640] I feel you, man.
[29:21.640 -> 29:24.920] And it's, it's a, it's one of the things I don't, I think Lance has improved
[29:24.920 -> 29:29.080] massively, um, cause you know, first it was it's one of the things I don't. I think Lance is improved massively because you know first is like paid driver above is like no he's got used to have
[29:29.080 -> 29:35.240] these great starts good and wet but just every now and then just doesn't show up. And it's
[29:35.240 -> 29:39.280] yeah it's gonna hurt but I there's so many so many speculations and things we could talk
[29:39.280 -> 29:47.080] about to say why that could be but also again. His teammate is Fernando Alonso.
[29:47.080 -> 29:49.520] The Dark Lord, the Dark Lord.
[29:49.520 -> 29:51.080] It is the one.
[29:51.080 -> 29:53.840] Oh yeah, somebody is somebody in the streams just said,
[29:53.840 -> 29:56.720] what about Yuki and with that Honda engine in 26?
[30:01.160 -> 30:04.680] Yuki son, let's go.
[30:04.680 -> 30:05.240] Is it time?
[30:05.240 -> 30:06.720] Is it time for the Grand Prix Sunday?
[30:08.320 -> 30:10.560] Uh, sure, I believe so.
[30:10.560 -> 30:13.000] I can't think of anything else that happened in qualifying.
[30:13.600 -> 30:14.320] Me neither.
[30:14.320 -> 30:16.400] My son is very upset about that news.
[30:16.800 -> 30:17.440] I'm sorry.
[30:17.440 -> 30:20.360] Tell little one that Lance is going to keep his seat for now.
[30:21.320 -> 30:26.260] No, he's upset about it's probably because his mother has just told him that he can't throw toilet roll down the toilet.
[30:26.420 -> 30:29.300] I've that's, that's been a thing that has a mom.
[30:30.340 -> 30:30.620] Yeah.
[30:30.660 -> 30:31.540] Dads and moms out there.
[30:31.540 -> 30:32.100] They're listening.
[30:32.100 -> 30:33.060] We'll relate to this.
[30:33.100 -> 30:36.900] That, uh, he's at the stage now where he tries to put an entire roll top
[30:36.900 -> 30:38.860] roller toilet roll down the toilet.
[30:38.900 -> 30:41.460] And, uh, it's not designed for that.
[30:42.100 -> 30:46.000] No, it ain't got the facilities for that big man.
[30:46.000 -> 30:48.000] It certainly does not.
[30:48.000 -> 30:50.000] Oh, that's awesome, man.
[30:50.000 -> 30:52.000] I can't wait to have kids.
[30:52.000 -> 30:53.000] Don't tell my girlfriend.
[30:53.000 -> 30:55.000] Oh, you can borrow some if you want, mate.
[30:55.000 -> 30:56.000] I'm alright, I got cats.
[30:56.000 -> 30:58.000] They had a sickie boy on the floor earlier and I was like,
[30:58.000 -> 31:00.000] oh, shit, I got to clean that up.
[31:00.000 -> 31:04.000] So the race, the whole thing that we're talking about,
[31:04.000 -> 31:05.440] Monaco is usually procession.
[31:05.440 -> 31:08.760] We're like, can we please get some rain? Can we please get some? It didn't come at the
[31:08.760 -> 31:12.640] beginning. Remember last year it rained so hard that they lost power, went to the backup
[31:12.640 -> 31:16.160] power and everything else. That was wild, but that didn't happen this year. But we had
[31:16.160 -> 31:20.480] a really interesting start in last week. We got into it and I said, never, they, the people
[31:20.480 -> 31:23.920] was like, why didn't you start max and check on the same strategy? Because, you know, Max
[31:23.920 -> 31:26.060] came through the back of the field and storm to the wind.
[31:26.500 -> 31:29.300] It's like, well, you should have started him on the check on the hard tire too.
[31:29.340 -> 31:34.580] And we said, never start on the hard tire except for Monaco, except for Monaco.
[31:34.580 -> 31:38.040] Cause the run, if you have a, if you have kind of a doodoo launch, the run down to
[31:38.040 -> 31:41.240] the term one is not that terrible.
[31:41.240 -> 31:47.920] And who do we have at the front starting on a stroll in Alonzo Bautist Magnuson Gasly signs Leclerc Russell,
[31:49.040 -> 31:55.520] Pastry. They all started on a hard tire. Verstappen on pole on the medium. He had a good
[31:55.520 -> 31:59.360] start this weekend. They looks like they got their clutches sorted out or whatever was going on there.
[31:59.920 -> 32:08.100] But yeah, so as we expected, that was what was it? Hulkenberg doing some bullying, some assault, some assault on lap one.
[32:08.640 -> 32:09.480] A couple of people can't.
[32:09.560 -> 32:13.680] It was, uh, right.
[32:13.920 -> 32:15.840] And he got a penalty for it though, didn't he?
[32:16.120 -> 32:16.360] Yeah.
[32:16.360 -> 32:20.880] Hulkenberg and Joe pitted on lap one and Perez also pit off the soft or the medium
[32:20.880 -> 32:22.560] onto lap the hard at the very start.
[32:22.560 -> 32:26.600] Take the Hulkenberg did on Logan sergeant. I think it was
[32:27.920 -> 32:29.920] I
[32:30.280 -> 32:36.400] Mean he did it with both of his front wheels locked up. I mean, I wouldn't argue that that was an overtake
[32:36.400 -> 32:38.800] I'd argue that was a crash that didn't
[32:40.400 -> 32:46.160] You know didn't come to fruition, you know, I mean. Yeah. But an avoided, an avoided disaster.
[32:46.160 -> 32:47.200] More than an overtake.
[32:47.200 -> 32:47.520] Yeah.
[32:48.640 -> 32:49.120] Fuck.
[32:49.520 -> 32:55.120] Speaking of, speaking of a Florida man though, he got bullied in the race.
[32:55.120 -> 32:55.520] He did.
[32:55.520 -> 32:57.360] He got, he got bullied hard, man.
[32:57.920 -> 32:58.640] I hate to see it.
[32:58.640 -> 32:58.880] Yeah.
[32:58.880 -> 33:01.040] They say there are no overtakes in Monaco.
[33:01.040 -> 33:04.160] Well, Logan Sargent basically said, bet.
[33:05.100 -> 33:10.740] Bet. I'll just leave the door open. And he did struggle quite massively on some of the tires, but he was just not having a good time around.
[33:10.740 -> 33:16.940] There's a bit of a specialist circuit that but I think he was intentionally trying to get DNF so he could go and watch the Indy 500.
[33:17.500 -> 33:21.220] But that for stopping Alonzo, here's the race.
[33:21.220 -> 33:24.540] Basically, is the Verstappen Alonzo group at the front and they're out.
[33:24.580 -> 33:25.560] They've got a pit stop
[33:25.560 -> 33:26.720] to everybody on their own, right?
[33:26.720 -> 33:28.960] And then you've got the,
[33:31.120 -> 33:35.800] basically Akon, the Ferraris, the Mercedes and that group.
[33:35.800 -> 33:40.800] So the first pack kicks off by Hamilton.
[33:41.360 -> 33:45.000] Hamilton's running, what's Hamilton running?
[33:45.520 -> 33:47.600] Fourth, fifth, and he pits,
[33:47.600 -> 33:49.900] and he kicks off that whole thing, Ocon covers.
[33:51.000 -> 33:56.000] Signs in P4 at lap 30 pits off of a hard onto a medium
[33:56.000 -> 33:57.900] and he's pissed off, because they're like,
[33:57.900 -> 33:59.720] don't worry, you covered Lewis.
[33:59.720 -> 34:01.240] And he's like, I don't care about Lewis.
[34:01.240 -> 34:02.720] He was livid.
[34:03.840 -> 34:07.200] He was, yeah. I get it, I get it I get it but there's
[34:07.200 -> 34:11.520] nothing like we only had a couple sectors and there's nothing to say that with clean air he
[34:11.520 -> 34:18.160] was going to be able to pull a gap so I don't know I think that was not but Monaco is about
[34:18.160 -> 34:25.200] track position and they had a chance to get it but I don't think that's a blunder. I don't know.
[34:25.760 -> 34:29.840] That's why everyone started on the hearts, really, wasn't it? Because it was like, well,
[34:29.840 -> 34:35.440] we can we can stick hearts on and it doesn't matter if we slow because no one can overtake us.
[34:36.240 -> 34:41.280] Yeah, but people talking about the rain, but you're talking about it's lap 30 and they're like,
[34:41.280 -> 34:45.720] we might have rain in 20 laps.
[34:46.440 -> 34:48.280] Now that's, that's not the thing you have.
[34:48.280 -> 34:49.960] You're not racing for 20 laps from now.
[34:50.240 -> 34:51.160] Anything could happen.
[34:51.440 -> 34:53.160] Um, it could be a safety car.
[34:53.400 -> 34:55.080] You you've, they've got to react.
[34:55.080 -> 34:57.640] And their decision was, we do not think you're going to be fast
[34:57.640 -> 35:01.000] enough to pull a gap, so we're going to cover, otherwise you're gonna
[35:01.000 -> 35:02.880] fall back behind two cars or three.
[35:03.320 -> 35:04.000] Not just that.
[35:04.000 -> 35:05.480] So I get it, but, cars or three. Not just that. So I get
[35:05.480 -> 35:13.520] it. But, um, so yeah, we go further down the road and we start hearing the drivers and
[35:13.520 -> 35:17.440] you, you're looking at the onboards and there's a couple, was it Max had on a visor cam and
[35:17.440 -> 35:26.640] you start seeing some spots on that, the camera on the, on the visor, I turned five, the hairpin. George might have called it first. Yeah, well, what did he say?
[35:26.640 -> 35:27.480] What did George say?
[35:27.480 -> 35:28.320] He said,
[35:28.320 -> 35:29.920] Oh, it's raining rats and, rats?
[35:29.920 -> 35:32.160] Fuck's sake, cats and dogs.
[35:32.160 -> 35:34.520] Honestly, I'm gonna go get myself checked out.
[35:34.520 -> 35:36.640] I think there is something critically wrong
[35:36.640 -> 35:38.240] with my brain at the minute.
[35:38.240 -> 35:40.120] Do you smell burnt toast or anything?
[35:40.120 -> 35:41.560] I might do, I don't know.
[35:42.680 -> 35:44.240] Well, the toast.
[35:44.240 -> 35:47.680] Weren't most. Beans't know. What? The rats weren't the most beans on toast.
[35:47.680 -> 35:49.280] Oh my Jesus.
[35:49.280 -> 35:51.920] But yeah, so we're starting getting spots of rain.
[35:51.920 -> 35:56.440] And the crazy thing about Monaco is you can have rainfall very, very locally.
[35:56.440 -> 36:00.320] Like literally we had the whole sector, you know, the one to the track where the pit lane
[36:00.320 -> 36:06.600] was was dry and then turn five, six, it was getting wet, It was getting wetter and it was, it was wettest.
[36:06.600 -> 36:11.400] And it's like, you know, this turn 5 to turn 8 might want full wets.
[36:12.080 -> 36:13.920] It might want full wets, maybe not for long.
[36:14.400 -> 36:15.920] So what happens?
[36:17.040 -> 36:22.000] I think around lap 53, we have a couple of people pit in for enters.
[36:22.840 -> 36:24.600] So they risk it.
[36:24.640 -> 36:25.800] They go early.
[36:25.800 -> 36:26.800] Go on.
[36:26.800 -> 36:27.800] Sorry, I'm you.
[36:27.800 -> 36:30.680] I may be breaking your trainer for here.
[36:30.680 -> 36:33.880] That's great.
[36:33.880 -> 36:38.000] Fernando Alonso froze the race away.
[36:38.000 -> 36:39.480] We're getting we're getting that's where we're going.
[36:39.480 -> 36:41.960] Okay, so you get that box for inners.
[36:41.960 -> 36:42.960] Yep.
[36:42.960 -> 36:44.600] So we've got a couple people risking it for answers.
[36:44.600 -> 36:46.220] The track is not fully wet.
[36:46.220 -> 36:51.160] So those people boxing then are, they're like, we think the rain is coming.
[36:51.160 -> 36:55.360] You don't know because if it dries out, the second turn five, six would have dried out
[36:55.360 -> 36:58.240] and you would have been throwing it away.
[36:58.240 -> 37:02.000] But a couple of people go for enters.
[37:02.000 -> 37:08.340] Fernando Alonso, as the rain is falling on lap 54, they decide, you know what, this wet
[37:08.340 -> 37:12.700] track is maybe they said, I don't know what they said, but maybe they're like, I think
[37:12.700 -> 37:19.160] these hards might be struggling with a damp track to heat up back in sector three.
[37:19.160 -> 37:26.200] So why don't we, why don't we pit and put on new mediums?
[37:26.200 -> 37:32.520] And then a lap later, both basically everybody is something like 30 seconds off the dry laps,
[37:32.520 -> 37:34.820] trying to like you saw the onboards.
[37:34.820 -> 37:39.800] It looks, it looks like, you know, the video of that little Twingo or whatever, smashing
[37:39.800 -> 37:44.240] the barriers at turn six, that that car would have been faster than a Formula One car through
[37:44.240 -> 37:47.040] that sector. 100% even on its roof probably.
[37:47.040 -> 37:55.760] This random Fernando Alonso going onto mediums strategy is straight out of the small team
[37:55.760 -> 37:58.200] looking for a big result playbook.
[37:58.200 -> 38:01.360] But they don't need to do that because they're second in the championship.
[38:01.360 -> 38:02.360] They can play it safe.
[38:02.360 -> 38:09.800] They can put in as on everyone else. They don't need this big win or, or like a big result carried
[38:09.800 -> 38:10.720] them through the season.
[38:12.000 -> 38:13.620] You know, you know what I'm getting at?
[38:13.640 -> 38:17.820] This is like a big risk that a smaller team would have taken if they
[38:17.820 -> 38:19.120] were in that sort of position.
[38:20.500 -> 38:22.440] And it's like, no, you don't need to do that.
[38:22.480 -> 38:24.720] Aston this year, you're an actual good team.
[38:24.760 -> 38:27.760] You can afford to be safe and not do a silly little risk.
[38:28.200 -> 38:30.640] Yeah, yeah, I get it, man.
[38:30.640 -> 38:32.360] But here's the thing, right?
[38:32.360 -> 38:33.880] Here's he was walking through it quickly.
[38:33.880 -> 38:37.320] Lap 54, he pits for mediums for Stappen stays out. Right.
[38:37.520 -> 38:42.680] So on that lap for Stappen is out on his 54, 55 lap
[38:42.680 -> 38:46.560] old mediums that are that are tired but but still going and he's tiptoeing.
[38:46.560 -> 38:47.820] He bleeds so much time.
[38:47.820 -> 38:50.900] The gap between the drivers is 13 seconds on track
[38:50.900 -> 38:52.460] at this point before pitting.
[38:52.460 -> 38:54.740] The pit loss is just shy of 20 seconds.
[38:54.740 -> 38:55.780] So that's how much time you lose
[38:55.780 -> 38:57.660] driving through the pit lane.
[38:57.660 -> 38:59.660] But Verstappen has a very cautious lap
[38:59.660 -> 39:01.220] because it's super wet.
[39:01.220 -> 39:03.420] And Alonso only loses 10 seconds
[39:03.420 -> 39:06.040] from pitting onto mediums, not 20.
[39:06.040 -> 39:08.080] The gap between the drivers is 23 seconds.
[39:08.080 -> 39:13.880] A lap 55, they are both on mediums at this point and they both pit.
[39:13.880 -> 39:17.920] Alonzo manages to find four seconds on track over Verstappen.
[39:17.920 -> 39:23.000] So Alonzo is pushing and Max is probably being quite cautious and he pits again and he comes
[39:23.000 -> 39:25.080] out 19 seconds behind Verstappen. being quite cautious and he pits again and he comes out.
[39:27.760 -> 39:29.320] 19 seconds behind Verstappen.
[39:33.160 -> 39:34.040] Looking at Sunoda is an example who wasn't particularly fast.
[39:36.680 -> 39:40.680] He was a second or so off of lap time. So if he hadn't pit and gone straight on to the inters there, they would have
[39:40.680 -> 39:43.240] come out ahead of Verstappen and people argued and said, oh, Max would have
[39:43.240 -> 39:45.920] overtaken him, like you have two of the fastest,
[39:45.920 -> 39:48.480] where, yeah, the fastest two cars on the track.
[39:48.480 -> 39:52.840] How is Verstappen going to overtake Alonso,
[39:52.840 -> 39:55.400] who is roughly within a second of each other?
[39:55.400 -> 39:59.440] Even if Alonso was slightly slower,
[39:59.440 -> 40:01.280] if he gets track position on Verstappen,
[40:01.280 -> 40:04.040] that's going to be a very tall order.
[40:04.040 -> 40:05.200] The likelihood that Alonso
[40:05.200 -> 40:07.760] would have come out ahead of him if he would have pit on the inter instead of a medium
[40:08.320 -> 40:13.760] is extremely high. I've had several other people in Formula One, including strategists, say,
[40:13.760 -> 40:20.880] I agree with that, but profile pictures on Twitter disagree with that. So that's why you should be
[40:20.880 -> 40:26.800] careful about profile pictures on Twitter. Basically, we lost a Fernando Alonso victory.
[40:26.800 -> 40:28.800] Is this what you're telling me?
[40:28.800 -> 40:33.000] Well, realistically, they just consolidated a P2.
[40:33.000 -> 40:35.960] You know, cause like they had, they had gapped everybody else when everybody else throws
[40:35.960 -> 40:37.320] on crap tires.
[40:37.320 -> 40:38.320] Yeah.
[40:38.320 -> 40:41.960] But it would have been a risk for Alonso to fit the intermediate.
[40:41.960 -> 40:48.080] But also at the same time, you know that the rain is high. you see other people's sectors, you see dry people struggling in sector two,
[40:48.640 -> 40:53.360] you see inter-people doing just as well in sector three. So they risked and said,
[40:53.360 -> 40:58.480] these hard tires are going to be a liability, and the rain will not get worse.
[40:59.760 -> 41:05.880] It was what they banked on. And it didn't cost them anything, except a chance.
[41:05.880 -> 41:08.560] But, ah, P2.
[41:08.560 -> 41:10.080] I'll take a fucking P2 all day long.
[41:10.080 -> 41:11.820] All they need to do is keep scoring all those points.
[41:11.820 -> 41:13.680] But Alonso's gonna have to score a lot more points
[41:13.680 -> 41:18.680] than just P2 and P3 if Lance is gonna be finishing P14.
[41:21.640 -> 41:22.480] Where do you finish?
[41:22.480 -> 41:24.360] Slowly but surely we're getting there.
[41:25.000 -> 41:31.000] To Fernando Alonso P1. I can't even find him on the sheet.
[41:31.000 -> 41:32.000] Oh, he DNF'd.
[41:32.000 -> 41:33.000] That's why I can't find him.
[41:33.000 -> 41:34.000] Yeah.
[41:34.000 -> 41:35.000] Ouch.
[41:35.000 -> 41:36.000] Yeah.
[41:36.000 -> 41:37.000] Dead last.
[41:37.000 -> 41:38.000] Yeah, DNF.
[41:38.000 -> 41:39.000] That's why I couldn't find him.
[41:39.000 -> 41:42.760] I was like, wait, he started like 14th or something.
[41:42.760 -> 41:47.800] But yeah, we also had something else happened during the race.
[41:47.800 -> 41:51.800] Did you hear this?
[41:51.800 -> 41:58.040] You keys being, I mean, Yuki this and then Max, Max the other week, but, um, we need
[41:58.040 -> 41:59.720] to get in all the shout outs.
[41:59.720 -> 42:00.720] We're getting roasted.
[42:00.720 -> 42:04.480] Do you, how much did you pay Max for, uh, for Miami?
[42:04.480 -> 42:05.360] Um, nothing. I gave him the wifi password. Okay. roasted you. How much did you pay Max for Miami?
[42:07.120 -> 42:08.640] Um, nothing. I gave him the Wi-Fi password.
[42:09.200 -> 42:10.320] OK, I didn't.
[42:10.320 -> 42:14.880] I I basically told you if you want him if he wanted to carry in some Apex legends.
[42:15.600 -> 42:21.480] But yeah, no, I said to Max, I wouldn't wouldn't aim at him when I'm on iRacing
[42:21.480 -> 42:24.000] with him. Thanks.
[42:24.000 -> 42:26.800] Thanks to Roy for sending me that clip, by the way, you're a legend, bro.
[42:26.840 -> 42:30.640] But, um, yeah, so, so Sunoda had brake issues and he said something.
[42:30.880 -> 42:32.120] It was hilarious.
[42:32.560 -> 42:36.100] His engineer set him offset five, which is his engineer telling him to
[42:36.100 -> 42:37.520] change the brake balance in the wet.
[42:37.840 -> 42:40.000] And Yuki says, are you trying to crash me?
[42:41.480 -> 42:43.400] But that's, that's a really interesting thing, right?
[42:43.880 -> 42:46.600] Cause let's, let's, let's, Because this is can we geek out for a minute?
[42:46.600 -> 42:47.600] 60 seconds.
[42:47.600 -> 42:52.480] You crack on, I'm just laughing in the background that you fucking every time you on the radio,
[42:52.480 -> 42:53.480] it's just gold.
[42:53.480 -> 42:54.480] I love it.
[42:54.480 -> 42:55.480] I love it.
[42:55.480 -> 42:57.200] I love him.
[42:57.200 -> 42:58.680] He's actually an insanely nice dude.
[42:58.680 -> 42:59.680] I really like you.
[42:59.680 -> 43:08.560] But so what his engineers were telling him to do was go minus 5% on the brake balance. And you think, wait, that puts more brakes on the rears and makes the car more pointy.
[43:09.200 -> 43:13.680] The problem is, um, yeah, I don't know if they're telling you minus five,
[43:13.680 -> 43:17.840] because going rearwards in the wet makes sense. Because you don't have as much load transfer and
[43:17.840 -> 43:22.160] your optimum brake balance is much rearward of a dry brake balance, especially. But if you don't
[43:22.160 -> 43:26.960] have any grip, you don't have that much load transfer. You're talking to me in a language I don't fucking understand.
[43:26.960 -> 43:28.600] I don't understand brake setup.
[43:28.600 -> 43:30.080] So this is all you, baby.
[43:30.080 -> 43:34.960] Well, I think the other thing was maybe the front discs were glazed and they were trying
[43:34.960 -> 43:36.760] to get him to go forward to heat them up.
[43:36.760 -> 43:37.760] Yeah.
[43:37.760 -> 43:43.520] Well, it's like, it's like you glazed carbon carbon material by not applying by applying
[43:43.520 -> 43:45.000] low pressure when they're cold.
[43:45.440 -> 43:47.920] And the interface of the disc and pad gets all gummed up
[43:47.920 -> 43:49.320] and shit up and they don't make friction.
[43:49.320 -> 43:51.360] And the only way to blow through that
[43:51.360 -> 43:52.440] is to get them hot as fuck.
[43:52.440 -> 43:54.560] So like when we would have brake glazing,
[43:54.560 -> 43:57.220] you would tell the driver to focus on
[43:57.220 -> 43:59.000] only straight line braking and try to get them
[43:59.000 -> 44:00.840] to wake back up first, instead of like, you know,
[44:00.840 -> 44:02.560] trying to trail brake or like dab the brake
[44:02.560 -> 44:04.280] through the corners, because then that just makes it worse.
[44:04.280 -> 44:08.760] So I think that was a, yeah, that's a really,
[44:08.760 -> 44:13.800] really tricky thing to sort out, especially when you have, you know, another thing is
[44:13.800 -> 44:18.780] when it goes cold and wet and you're not applying the brakes as much, did they add any break
[44:18.780 -> 44:22.680] tape at the stop? And that's something that you will do is like, if you're going on to
[44:22.680 -> 44:26.760] enters very often, you do need to add to add is definitely on the full wets.
[44:26.760 -> 44:32.160] You definitely need to add the tape so the mechanics can add tape to approximately blank
[44:32.160 -> 44:36.000] off the ducts in a pit stop, but it does cost extra time.
[44:36.000 -> 44:37.600] But look at what happened to you.
[44:37.600 -> 44:41.520] Key high techno highly technological solution in F1.
[44:41.520 -> 44:43.840] Just slap a bit of fucking tape on it.
[44:43.840 -> 44:45.100] Yeah, yeah, exactly.
[44:45.100 -> 44:47.740] But, uh, yeah, I remember that that's super sketchy.
[44:47.740 -> 44:52.740] Like when you starting a wet race and you're like, how much do we like blank
[44:52.800 -> 44:56.460] the brakes on the race start and, um, if it's full wets, you can get away with it.
[44:56.460 -> 44:59.680] But if it's enters often you'll fucking risk it and just be like, Hey, we might
[44:59.680 -> 45:01.740] have some glazing to deal with a lot.
[45:02.740 -> 45:05.800] Please stop saying glazing because you're making me think of, um,
[45:06.440 -> 45:07.480] should we get some donuts?
[45:07.520 -> 45:07.920] Yeah.
[45:07.920 -> 45:08.840] And you're making us cook it.
[45:10.720 -> 45:12.200] We should have a crispy cream, crispy cream.
[45:12.200 -> 45:13.200] That's the one I was thinking of.
[45:13.200 -> 45:13.560] Yeah.
[45:14.160 -> 45:14.440] Yeah.
[45:15.080 -> 45:16.960] But, uh, yeah.
[45:17.480 -> 45:19.400] Why don't we, uh, what do we got left?
[45:19.400 -> 45:21.720] So here's another good one.
[45:21.920 -> 45:24.800] Russell shit housing is where he's like, all right, mate, let me, let me,
[45:26.000 -> 45:27.840] can you do it for me real quick? What was Russell doing the shithousing about?
[45:27.840 -> 45:28.800] Oh, boy.
[45:28.800 -> 45:36.400] Yeah, so Russell was trying to get past Hamilton because he did close up on him super fast,
[45:36.400 -> 45:37.600] and then he fell away.
[45:37.600 -> 45:42.640] But Russell got a five second penalty for rejoining the track in an unsafe manner.
[45:42.640 -> 45:43.600] I think it was at turn five.
[45:43.600 -> 45:46.240] He went off and he just fucking yeeted it back onto the track
[45:46.240 -> 45:47.240] in front of some gazes.
[45:47.240 -> 45:52.040] And yeah, he got a five second penalty, so he wasn't gonna stop again.
[45:52.040 -> 45:54.200] So like he's like, I need to, I need to make up the gap.
[45:54.200 -> 45:56.200] I think it was two was a gas man.
[45:56.200 -> 45:59.580] Uh, I can't recall.
[45:59.580 -> 46:04.480] It was Leclerc and how Leclerc couldn't close up on the Mercedes.
[46:04.480 -> 46:05.040] Ouch. Luke Laird and how the Claire couldn't close up on the Mercedes.
[46:05.540 -> 46:06.120] Ouch.
[46:09.760 -> 46:10.560] And then Perez driving into the side of George.
[46:10.880 -> 46:13.760] Oh yeah. They, they, they crashed in the escape road.
[46:14.640 -> 46:18.640] I swear there was like a radio message from Perez to George as it happened.
[46:18.680 -> 46:19.720] He come on the radio.
[46:19.720 -> 46:20.840] I'm not going to do the accent.
[46:21.320 -> 46:22.040] He came on the radio.
[46:22.040 -> 46:24.120] Went, this is for Maxine Baku.
[46:24.560 -> 46:25.000] Crash. How's your side pod mate? I do the accent came on the radio and this is for Maxine Baku crash.
[46:27.640 -> 46:28.960] How's your side pod mate?
[46:30.680 -> 46:32.760] I'm not going to, I'm not going to talk about Paris's race.
[46:32.760 -> 46:34.600] That was just like P20 risk it.
[46:34.640 -> 46:35.300] See what happens.
[46:35.300 -> 46:35.960] Nothing happens.
[46:35.960 -> 46:37.680] Everything bad for a man to worse.
[46:38.480 -> 46:39.840] Really good at street circuits.
[46:39.840 -> 46:46.160] Traditionally he was, I don't know if he was, maybe he had a hangover.
[46:46.200 -> 46:47.800] I don't know, but wow.
[46:47.840 -> 46:48.680] What a race.
[46:49.280 -> 46:49.600] Yeah.
[46:49.840 -> 46:53.120] Perez P 16 stroll DNF.
[46:53.560 -> 46:56.080] Uh, the, the hassles had another terrible race as well.
[46:56.640 -> 46:57.200] Unlucky.
[46:57.440 -> 47:01.200] And the Ferraris didn't look, I mean, the Friars just went from crap to crap.
[47:01.440 -> 47:03.440] Somebody just reminded me of this in the chat.
[47:04.760 -> 47:09.320] I will pick this up because I thought this was beautiful and it's something
[47:09.320 -> 47:10.760] Max has done in the past.
[47:11.200 -> 47:16.080] Ooh, Max was getting blue flags around people.
[47:16.280 -> 47:19.720] Checo tried to sneak behind him and get an overtake as well.
[47:19.760 -> 47:22.680] Uh, I can't remember who it was on, but it was brilliant.
[47:22.680 -> 47:24.280] I was like, Oh, that is shit house.
[47:24.280 -> 47:24.440] Really?
[47:24.440 -> 47:25.300] And I enjoy it. I rate that was like, all that is shit house. And I enjoy it.
[47:25.560 -> 47:27.760] I rate that move mass, but that that's awesome.
[47:27.760 -> 47:30.980] Like, like, it's like, I'm not going to risk my race, but if you can follow me
[47:30.980 -> 47:32.620] through, I'll open the door.
[47:32.640 -> 47:33.860] Let's let's, let's go, man.
[47:33.900 -> 47:34.940] Let's fricking go.
[47:35.880 -> 47:36.440] I'm into it.
[47:36.440 -> 47:41.000] But, uh, Max, a few years ago at Monaco, I caught on and it was, it was beautiful
[47:41.000 -> 47:42.440] then, and this was beautiful as well.
[47:42.440 -> 47:43.100] I didn't pay off.
[47:43.100 -> 47:47.900] I think Perez, um, yeah, overcooked it and had to give the place back,
[47:47.900 -> 47:50.940] but I appreciated the effort that went into that.
[47:51.540 -> 47:55.060] Yeah, man, but Sainz loses out.
[47:55.100 -> 47:56.380] What does Sainz do?
[47:56.380 -> 47:59.380] He goes from Carlos Sainz.
[48:00.260 -> 48:02.740] Did he start P4 on the grid or P3?
[48:05.280 -> 48:06.720] And where does he finish?
[48:06.720 -> 48:07.220] Eighth.
[48:08.400 -> 48:09.360] Unlucky.
[48:09.360 -> 48:09.860] Unlucky.
[48:11.040 -> 48:12.720] Well, we'll go into that in a little bit because
[48:14.480 -> 48:16.880] I've got Ferrari for random fandom.
[48:16.880 -> 48:17.600] Okay, gotcha.
[48:17.600 -> 48:22.320] Yeah, and I'll go back to my little report for Aston.
[48:22.320 -> 48:25.520] But before we get into our.
[48:28.840 -> 48:30.040] Our race predictions and how we did and our random fandom and good boy in the Indy 500.
[48:30.040 -> 48:33.120] Why don't you want to go to a little little ad break real quick?
[48:34.280 -> 48:35.400] Oh, I would love to.
[48:35.840 -> 48:36.320] OK.
[48:38.680 -> 48:42.480] Hello, it's me again just to tell you that we are continuing

[49:41.520 -> 49:42.520] I'm really proud of you.
[49:42.520 -> 49:46.840] Everything else has gone to shit, but at least I got the right button.
[49:46.840 -> 49:50.600] So talk to me, talk to me, talk me through the predictions, man. Talk me through the
[49:50.600 -> 49:53.360] predictions we made before every week we make predictions for those. We're going to make
[49:53.360 -> 49:59.080] predictions for Barcelona. And we need to tell you how badly we did this week for both
[49:59.080 -> 50:00.920] qualifying and the race.
[50:00.920 -> 50:06.320] Well, neither, we didn't do too badly in qualifying. We both had the staff and on pole.
[50:07.400 -> 50:07.720] Okay.
[50:07.760 -> 50:10.280] I was optimistic and put the Claire second.
[50:11.360 -> 50:11.840] Not bad.
[50:11.920 -> 50:13.720] Uh, uh, Perez third.
[50:13.760 -> 50:14.800] We want to talk about that.
[50:15.520 -> 50:15.920] Hmm.
[50:16.240 -> 50:17.520] A long move for science.
[50:17.520 -> 50:17.960] Fifth.
[50:19.280 -> 50:19.640] Okay.
[50:21.080 -> 50:21.600] Oof.
[50:22.120 -> 50:24.320] So I had first happen.
[50:32.360 -> 50:33.360] That is. We know how that ended unlucky, Dark Lord, Hamilton, and the Governor.
[50:33.360 -> 50:34.360] Yeah, called blimey.
[50:34.360 -> 50:39.520] Yeah, I mean, it wasn't terrible was it?
[50:39.520 -> 50:46.180] No, like I say, we both got Verstappen, Alonso was P2. Charles was P3.
[50:46.860 -> 50:50.300] Ocon P4, Sines P5.
[50:50.420 -> 50:55.300] So I got P5 and P1.
[50:55.700 -> 50:57.380] It's just a bit in the middle I got wrong.
[50:58.420 -> 50:58.620] Yeah.
[50:58.620 -> 51:01.420] I got, I got pole.
[51:02.440 -> 51:02.940] That's it.
[51:03.420 -> 51:03.780] Bummer.
[51:04.020 -> 51:05.000] Uh, race predictions. Time to delete the podcast. Yeah. See you guys. Bummer. Race predictions.
[51:05.000 -> 51:06.000] Time to delete the podcast.
[51:06.000 -> 51:09.000] Yeah, see you guys later in those fraudulent podcasts.
[51:09.000 -> 51:13.000] Episode 28, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, if you've been here since the beginning, then
[51:13.000 -> 51:14.000] why?
[51:14.000 -> 51:17.000] Yeah, why first and then give yourself a big toot toot.
[51:17.000 -> 51:20.040] All right, the podium.
[51:20.040 -> 51:23.040] Your prediction was fairly spicy.
[51:23.040 -> 51:25.040] I thought a little arrabbiata that one. Yeah, a little Arrabbiata that one.
[51:25.040 -> 51:27.040] A little Arrabbiata, Charlie.
[51:27.040 -> 51:32.560] Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, P1, Verstappen, P2, Alonso, P3.
[51:32.560 -> 51:33.560] Okay.
[51:33.560 -> 51:37.360] Did you, I'm going to call Max and let him know that you shit on him.
[51:37.360 -> 51:40.640] Yeah, just going on.
[51:40.640 -> 51:42.560] I went for Verstappen, Perez, Alonso.
[51:42.560 -> 51:48.600] I thought Checo was going to be in the mix. I expected, I even gassed up Aston Martin
[51:48.600 -> 51:50.840] before the event thinking it's a low down for,
[51:50.840 -> 51:53.120] or low efficiency, high drag circuit.
[51:53.120 -> 51:55.080] You can put a dirty, dirty rear wing on the car.
[51:55.080 -> 51:56.480] I think Alonso could do well.
[51:57.560 -> 51:59.360] I went Verstappen, Perez, Alonso.
[51:59.360 -> 52:00.920] And then we got a Verstappen, Alonso.
[52:00.920 -> 52:03.400] Who had Akon Podium on their bingo card?
[52:03.400 -> 52:04.480] Anybody?
[52:04.480 -> 52:06.000] Anybody? Anybody?
[52:06.500 -> 52:07.280] Probably not.
[52:08.600 -> 52:10.160] No, I don't think anybody had that. And let's, here's a funny one.
[52:10.520 -> 52:14.920] Did you see, uh, Laurent Rossi was shitting on Otmar and everybody else
[52:14.920 -> 52:17.880] had been like, mate, this is you, this is your problem.
[52:17.880 -> 52:19.920] And then he's like on all the team photos and Monaco.
[52:19.960 -> 52:22.160] Hey, we let's go guys go team.
[52:22.160 -> 52:23.120] You just slagged the team off.
[52:23.120 -> 52:25.600] And now you're quite happy to just stand there getting your photo with them
[52:25.800 -> 52:31.360] Yeah, I get out of here dude. Get out of here. This is end. But hey, yeah, you're ST besties on the podium
[52:31.360 -> 52:37.560] I was I love that man. I I like to see it like I know he's he's one of those drivers that rubs people the wrong
[52:37.560 -> 52:39.560] way and uh, ah
[52:39.640 -> 52:44.440] Everybody that worked with him at Aston Martin or forced India back to that. I really rated the dude and he's hungry man
[52:44.440 -> 52:48.720] He's cutthroat. And I think, yeah, good for him. Good for him. And honestly,
[52:48.720 -> 52:52.560] I've still not forgiven him for the Maxwell Staff and Brazil incident.
[52:53.920 -> 52:58.640] Yeah. I've still got PTSD from that. Yeah. It's like, he's coming through. He's,
[52:58.640 -> 53:06.800] he's unlapping himself. It's like, give it a second, give it a second. Nah, but, uh, that wasn't too bad. That wasn't
[53:06.800 -> 53:12.920] too bad. Uh, but yeah, Laurent Rossi, that was get out of there, dude. Wash your face
[53:12.920 -> 53:25.920] off. Yeah. Wait, Akon said it. Akon said Estee Bestie's on the podium. Oh my God. Oh my God. Yeah, in the interview, he was like, Esty Besty's on the podium, baby. Oh my God. Yeah, that's quite funny.
[53:25.920 -> 53:26.920] Oh my God.

[53:52.200 -> 53:54.960] So what's Random Fandom for anybody that's new to the podcast and they don't know what
[53:54.960 -> 53:55.960] it is?
[53:55.960 -> 54:02.000] Random Fandom is basically where we randomly pick a team each to hype up for the upcoming
[54:02.000 -> 54:10.800] race and then we'll give a little report about it afterwards. This came about because obviously being two ex-Red Bull engineers we have a disgusting bias.
[54:11.600 -> 54:14.320] It's foul. It's it's it's you can taste it actually.
[54:14.320 -> 54:17.920] Yeah I I wanted everyone to know that we could hate every team equally.
[54:21.280 -> 54:22.560] It's free from my hate.
[54:22.560 -> 54:25.400] Nobody. No exactly but but we have said that we won't rate Red Bull. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

[54:26.400 -> 54:27.400] no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[54:27.400 -> 54:28.400] no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

[54:47.680 -> 54:52.460] written anything down for my random fandom Ferrari report, um, this week,
[54:52.480 -> 54:54.840] because I can sum it up very simply.
[54:54.900 -> 54:56.460] It was a shit show.
[54:58.560 -> 55:03.800] Nobody telling Chuck where the traffic was in qualifying cost them free positions
[55:03.800 -> 55:05.600] in a track that you can't take over at.
[55:06.260 -> 55:12.380] Uh, signs decided to fight his teammate on the way to the pits in the wet on slicks.
[55:12.900 -> 55:15.500] They were battling to try and get positioned in the pit lane.
[55:15.720 -> 55:21.440] Um, signs was just a bit all over the show today or during the race.
[55:21.480 -> 55:27.720] And, uh, yeah, basically it was one podium in the last six races
[55:27.720 -> 55:34.200] they they were outclassed by Alpines around Monaco
[55:34.200 -> 55:39.840] fuck is going on with that team Wow I mean we're in a period of rebuilding but
[55:39.840 -> 55:46.400] rebuild again people listen to this and think Dan spends his entire time just hating Ferrari.
[55:46.400 -> 55:47.400] I don't.
[55:47.400 -> 55:48.680] I actually like Ferrari.
[55:48.680 -> 55:50.240] I respect their heritage.
[55:50.240 -> 55:52.080] I want to see him come good.
[55:52.080 -> 55:53.080] Me too.
[55:53.080 -> 55:55.240] I want to see, I want to see four teams at the front.
[55:55.240 -> 56:02.080] I want to see the midfield closer to the front, but with Ferrari and Mercedes this far off,
[56:02.080 -> 56:05.000] we get asked, we get, we get Verstappen and Alonso fights.
[56:05.900 -> 56:09.000] I mean, maybe Perez when he's not having crap weekend, which is, this is only,
[56:09.000 -> 56:10.500] there's only real crap or weekend.
[56:10.500 -> 56:14.200] So hopefully he comes back, but this is just, yeah, it's frustrating, man.
[56:14.300 -> 56:15.800] It's super frustrating to see.
[56:15.900 -> 56:21.300] But however, obviously Ferrari knew that I had them on the random fandom,
[56:22.300 -> 56:25.040] or at least Carlos signs new because there was
[56:32.600 -> 56:33.280] literally like a minute second shot in the, uh, world feed of him on the.
[56:38.300 -> 56:39.460] Grid before the race started and he was sneakily trying to drink a red ball from his trainers bag, right?
[56:39.460 -> 56:42.400] Anyone noticing, but I saw it.
[56:44.320 -> 56:45.600] He's like, mate, I'm a little bit tired.
[56:45.600 -> 56:47.000] I need a hit of the good stuff.
[56:47.000 -> 56:48.200] None of that monster stuff.
[56:48.200 -> 56:50.320] We need the, we need the, the Tauro.
[56:50.320 -> 56:51.320] So wow.
[56:51.320 -> 56:52.320] All right.
[56:52.320 -> 56:54.280] That's, that's on him.
[56:54.280 -> 56:57.680] That's fraudulent behavior.
[56:57.680 -> 57:01.080] Any other words for, um, you're defrosting?
[57:01.080 -> 57:02.080] Hang in there.
[57:02.080 -> 57:03.080] Yeah.
[57:03.080 -> 57:08.160] You know, crying session around mine tomorrow at 8pm.
[57:08.160 -> 57:09.000] Bring snacks.
[57:09.000 -> 57:09.840] Okay.
[57:09.840 -> 57:10.680] Okay.
[57:12.040 -> 57:12.960] Fine.
[57:12.960 -> 57:15.800] I had, Aston Martin,
[57:15.800 -> 57:18.840] and I feel like I've already given most of this report card.
[57:18.840 -> 57:20.320] But let's sum it up now.
[57:21.240 -> 57:30.160] Honestly, they've got probably second or third best car on the grid.
[57:30.160 -> 57:31.160] Second or third best car.
[57:31.160 -> 57:32.160] Mercedes are close.
[57:32.160 -> 57:35.160] Sometimes they'll be a little bit better than Ferrari.
[57:35.160 -> 57:36.160] Ferrari dropped the ball.
[57:36.160 -> 57:40.640] But I mean, if we go back and look at the qualifying performance, Alonzo made the difference
[57:40.640 -> 57:41.640] in that car.
[57:41.640 -> 57:43.460] Lance could not get within a sniff of him.
[57:43.460 -> 57:51.120] And Lance has not been that far off in a while that I recall. Maybe I've got some recency bias, but who knows? I'm a fraud.
[57:51.120 -> 57:56.000] That being said, Alonzo the Dark Lord bringing everything out of that. Like he said in
[57:57.360 -> 58:02.080] qualifying, I'm driving like an animal. He was driving like an animal. Lance didn't show up,
[58:02.080 -> 58:06.720] crashed the car out in the tricking conditions.
[58:10.320 -> 58:13.680] I mean, let's look at the championship right now. I've got my championship notes. Where'd they go? Did I delete them? I can tell you that Mercedes are one point behind Aston.
[58:15.600 -> 58:21.360] Oof. What do we got here? So the World Constructors Championship, Red Bull 249,
[58:21.360 -> 58:28.680] Aston Martin, a Ramco Cizant for Cindia Racing Point.
[58:28.680 -> 58:32.560] Spiker Midland Jordan F1 120 points Mercedes.
[58:32.560 -> 58:36.800] 119 Ferrari 90.
[58:36.800 -> 58:48.100] Renault Alpine 35 Fernando Alonso 93 points in the driver's championship. But I mean, Fernando is not too far off of Paris with that result this weekend
[58:48.100 -> 58:48.740] for Paris.
[58:49.400 -> 58:57.240] Uh, take a guess where Lance is on the table.
[58:57.560 -> 59:02.320] Yeah, I think I looked at this earlier and I think it was something like 9th.
[59:02.340 -> 59:03.280] No, not 9th.
[59:04.040 -> 59:06.040] He's P eight with two retirements.
[59:07.320 -> 59:08.340] What was Saudi?
[59:08.340 -> 59:10.240] What his retirement was a mechanical, wasn't it?
[59:11.200 -> 59:13.820] Uh, he had, did he not have one where he didn't drive?
[59:13.820 -> 59:16.000] Cause he broke his wrists or something.
[59:16.000 -> 59:16.440] When was that?
[59:16.440 -> 59:17.880] Was that the first race of the season?
[59:18.120 -> 59:19.560] No, he, he wrote, he drove.
[59:19.560 -> 59:20.280] Was it okay?
[59:20.680 -> 59:21.240] He did drive.
[59:21.240 -> 59:22.200] Yeah, that was, didn't he?
[59:22.200 -> 59:22.560] Sorry.
[59:22.600 -> 59:23.240] Yeah, exactly.
[59:23.600 -> 59:25.160] Uh, so he, that, that retirement's on him. So that could have been a handful of points if he'd qualified well, yeah, that was. Didn't he? Sorry, yeah, exactly. So that that retirement's on him,
[59:25.160 -> 59:27.080] so that could have been a handful
[59:27.080 -> 59:28.880] of points to be qualified well,
[59:28.880 -> 59:31.200] but honestly, for the team as a whole.
[59:31.200 -> 59:32.680] Great result, great performance maximized.
[59:32.680 -> 59:35.160] I don't people talk took my tweet about
[59:35.160 -> 59:37.880] Alonzo could have won is me slating the team.
[59:37.880 -> 59:40.080] That's a super hard decision to make,
[59:40.080 -> 59:42.360] and we talked about all their options
[59:42.360 -> 59:44.960] and what they could have done in that
[59:44.960 -> 59:49.000] situation they just tossed the wrong coin.
[59:49.000 -> 59:54.760] Yeah, well, I'll slate them because I'm never getting invited anywhere. It was a bozo decision
[59:54.760 -> 59:57.000] from a small team mentality.
[59:57.000 -> 01:00:02.800] Okay. I mean, but that's the kind of stuff that has to like they have to do because you're
[01:00:02.800 -> 01:00:05.480] outside of the points and you hail Marriott. That was, I think. Yeah, that's the point. Yeah. I was trying they have to do because you're outside of the points and you hail Mary it. That was I think.
[01:00:05.480 -> 01:00:06.480] Yeah, that's the point.
[01:00:06.480 -> 01:00:08.840] Yeah, I was trying to make and shout out Hars as well.
[01:00:08.840 -> 01:00:11.480] They were fucking nowhere this weekend as well.
[01:00:11.480 -> 01:00:14.760] Yeah, I I didn't enjoy watching that.
[01:00:14.760 -> 01:00:17.040] Honestly, that was that was tough to watch.
[01:00:17.040 -> 01:00:19.640] But hey, double points finish from McLaren.
[01:00:19.640 -> 01:00:21.320] Big up.
[01:00:21.320 -> 01:00:22.320] Yeah.
[01:00:22.320 -> 01:00:26.440] Is it time for the, is it time?
[01:00:26.440 -> 01:00:27.440] Hit it.
[01:00:27.440 -> 01:00:28.440] Fraud Watch.
[01:00:28.440 -> 01:00:29.440] Fraud Watch.
[01:00:29.440 -> 01:00:44.040] So Fraud Watch is where we take a moment out of this podcast to put, put people on blast
[01:00:44.040 -> 01:00:47.520] for having a terrible, terrible weekend.
[01:00:47.520 -> 01:00:51.120] Um, and we were not short of candidates this weekend.
[01:00:51.120 -> 01:00:53.920] No, I mean, a de Vries is on three strikes.
[01:00:53.920 -> 01:00:54.920] He's been banned.

[01:01:01.480 -> 01:01:03.200] You've roasted them three times.
[01:01:03.200 -> 01:01:04.200] Unlucky.
[01:01:04.200 -> 01:01:06.240] But yeah, a Ferrari, Ferrari had been done. McLaren or toast, you've roasted them three times. Unlucky. But yeah, a Ferrari

[01:01:27.000 -> 01:01:31.000] of the weekend, Sergio Perez.
[01:01:31.000 -> 01:01:35.380] No man, that's tough.
[01:01:35.380 -> 01:01:43.960] My man was still out there partying on that yacht he was on last year.
[01:01:43.960 -> 01:01:44.960] That sucks man.
[01:01:44.960 -> 01:01:45.020] I hate to see it. I don't know if he was nowhere. Oh, that sucks, man.
[01:01:45.740 -> 01:01:46.900] I hate to see it.
[01:01:49.780 -> 01:01:49.800] I mean, cause, cause I mean, he went into the weekend.
[01:01:52.220 -> 01:01:53.120] Was it just, just behind max?
[01:01:54.660 -> 01:01:54.940] I mean, I'm too far behind it. Yeah.
[01:01:54.980 -> 01:01:58.400] Closer than he has been, you know, they've been quite evenly
[01:01:58.400 -> 01:02:00.780] matched in terms of points this year.
[01:02:01.400 -> 01:02:04.320] Um, he just threw it all away this weekend.
[01:02:04.320 -> 01:02:09.240] It was just, yeah, it's not, it wasn't looking good.
[01:02:09.800 -> 01:02:12.200] This is his year to, to challenge.
[01:02:12.200 -> 01:02:16.640] This is his Nico Rosberg year, the underdog story to take, take the, knock
[01:02:16.640 -> 01:02:21.000] the dude off the top step and take it, but you can't, you can't do that, but
[01:02:21.000 -> 01:02:22.680] it's, it's a long season we're on race.
[01:02:23.280 -> 01:02:25.400] Well, race six, but race seven of the calendar.
[01:02:25.400 -> 01:02:27.840] So because we lost him, uh, fair enough.
[01:02:28.360 -> 01:02:31.400] Uh, my fraud watch this weekend.
[01:02:31.900 -> 01:02:33.920] I've just, uh, I've just got this one.
[01:02:36.080 -> 01:02:37.680] Yuki's breaks are on fraud watch.
[01:02:37.920 -> 01:02:38.960] That's kind of a boring one.
[01:02:39.040 -> 01:02:39.800] Should I do another one?
[01:02:41.400 -> 01:02:42.480] I'm happy to have you.
[01:02:42.480 -> 01:02:44.760] He's breaks as our fraud watch.
[01:02:44.760 -> 01:02:45.600] I don't mind. We can put
[01:02:45.600 -> 01:02:48.520] anything on there, mate. This is our show. We make the rules.
[01:02:48.520 -> 01:02:53.300] Okay. Yeah, that was just that was just that just sucks to see because like that being
[01:02:53.300 -> 01:02:57.120] my old bread and butter and you're like him him a struggling to have the dialogue with
[01:02:57.120 -> 01:03:03.080] the engineers and just literally threw away a pretty decent like an okay issue. So it
[01:03:03.080 -> 01:03:05.040] was nothing crazy. Just like. It's been annoying.
[01:03:05.040 -> 01:03:10.000] I wasn't too inspired because the other obvious ones are Lance Stroll on this race
[01:03:10.000 -> 01:03:11.440] or Logan Sargent, unfortunately.
[01:03:11.440 -> 01:03:11.840] Yeah, that's not the case.
[01:03:11.840 -> 01:03:12.880] Another obvious one.
[01:03:12.880 -> 01:03:15.280] There was so many good candidates this weekend.
[01:03:15.840 -> 01:03:18.320] I'm going to put Stroll on the list, honestly, because he was on my...
[01:03:19.760 -> 01:03:21.600] Unfortunately, but I think he'll...
[01:03:21.600 -> 01:03:27.200] I don't think this is a prediction of future performance. It's just the result for this weekend, unfortunately. Yeah, I think I don't think this is a Prediction of future performance. It's just a result for this weekend, unfortunately
[01:03:27.840 -> 01:03:29.840] Yeah, I think I think everybody agrees. So uh
[01:03:30.480 -> 01:03:32.280] Yeah next
[01:03:32.280 -> 01:03:34.040] what is
[01:03:34.040 -> 01:03:36.240] happening next Daniel I
[01:03:37.280 -> 01:03:39.280] believe
[01:03:41.560 -> 01:03:43.560] I'm a good boy
[01:03:44.200 -> 01:03:45.320] It's the engine mode good boy award that came. I'm a good boy. That's that's it. It's the engine mode.
[01:03:45.320 -> 01:03:49.600] Good boy award that came about because somebody said I was gaslighting
[01:03:49.600 -> 01:03:51.120] people on Twitter or something.
[01:03:51.120 -> 01:03:53.440] I can't even fucking virtue.
[01:03:53.840 -> 01:03:55.440] Virtue signaling is what you were doing.
[01:03:55.440 -> 01:03:55.880] And that was it.
[01:03:55.880 -> 01:03:56.080] Yeah.
[01:03:56.080 -> 01:03:58.360] And when they called me engine mode, good boy.
[01:03:58.360 -> 01:03:59.200] So I was like, OK, cool.
[01:03:59.760 -> 01:04:00.040] Yeah.
[01:04:00.040 -> 01:04:03.920] That's when you when you make note of predatory or terrible behavior
[01:04:04.240 -> 01:04:07.240] that people might not understand, that means you're an engine mode.
[01:04:07.240 -> 01:04:07.400] Good.
[01:04:07.400 -> 01:04:10.200] But now, but this is about us giving prompts, somebody who's
[01:04:10.480 -> 01:04:12.720] done a great job this weekend.
[01:04:12.720 -> 01:04:14.000] So Dan, take it away.
[01:04:14.000 -> 01:04:14.800] Who is your engine mode?
[01:04:14.800 -> 01:04:15.080] Good boy.
[01:04:15.080 -> 01:04:15.440] The week.
[01:04:15.920 -> 01:04:20.720] Ladies and gentlemen, we have another new debutante for this
[01:04:20.720 -> 01:04:22.160] week's engine mode, good boy.
[01:04:22.160 -> 01:04:25.960] And it's, I can't believe we've never suggested this person before
[01:04:26.680 -> 01:04:28.120] but
[01:04:28.120 -> 01:04:33.340] Car merchant isn't it ladies and gentlemen it's max cast happen. Oh my god
[01:04:33.960 -> 01:04:35.560] Well done
[01:04:35.560 -> 01:04:40.160] Bravo mate bravo. He's made it on to our engine mode good boy. I think that's his first time isn't it
[01:04:40.160 -> 01:04:43.200] He's done a great job this weekend. Yeah, I think he has his first time
[01:04:43.840 -> 01:04:50.760] Smash it the ceiling of the deal for me was that Q3, uh, sector
[01:04:50.760 -> 01:04:54.840] free performance, I was just like, yeah, go on then.
[01:04:55.720 -> 01:04:56.120] Yeah.
[01:04:56.440 -> 01:04:57.720] Annabelle knows what's up with that one.
[01:04:57.720 -> 01:04:57.920] Yeah.
[01:04:58.000 -> 01:04:58.520] Smashed it.
[01:04:58.600 -> 01:05:01.480] Uh, I'm, I'm going to give mine the Esteban Alcon.
[01:05:01.480 -> 01:05:03.720] I never thought I'd have Esteban Alcon on my good boy list.
[01:05:03.720 -> 01:05:08.200] Cause usually he's a, sometimes he's a bit of a bastardo, isn't he? He's just like one of those guys
[01:05:08.200 -> 01:05:13.580] he likes to get get into shit. But Esteban Alcon in that Alpine, showing them what it
[01:05:13.580 -> 01:05:19.660] could do on a track that requires a good car and a driver with a shitload of nerve, precision
[01:05:19.660 -> 01:05:24.240] and consistency and he achieved all those things this weekend and I think he deserves
[01:05:24.240 -> 01:05:25.820] a little,
[01:05:25.820 -> 01:05:29.060] and if you, if you hadn't picked him, I would.
[01:05:29.420 -> 01:05:34.380] So yeah, it's beautifully poetic that it comes two weeks after their
[01:05:34.380 -> 01:05:36.420] owner was in the media, trashing the team.
[01:05:37.060 -> 01:05:37.340] Yeah.
[01:05:37.340 -> 01:05:37.900] And get wrecked.
[01:05:38.260 -> 01:05:42.900] Rossi that, that guy that stinks to me, like slandering your team in the
[01:05:42.900 -> 01:05:47.160] press, that's the same thing as friends toss, like slandering your team in the press. That's the same thing as friends toss like slandering his team.
[01:05:47.160 -> 01:05:52.480] That's like do not roast your crew in the media like that.
[01:05:52.480 -> 01:05:54.800] That is leadership 101.
[01:05:54.800 -> 01:05:56.520] What do you aim to achieve from that?
[01:05:56.520 -> 01:05:57.520] Screw you, man.
[01:05:57.520 -> 01:06:02.600] Seriously, that pisses me off because if imagine if you were still at Red Bull and like your
[01:06:02.600 -> 01:06:05.640] car crew had a bit of a wobble and you
[01:06:05.640 -> 01:06:09.440] know it's maybe something that's kind of hard to pinpoint and Christian put you on blast.
[01:06:09.440 -> 01:06:11.920] You don't see him doing that when you fuck up.
[01:06:11.920 -> 01:06:14.760] He'll be like, we'll come back and learn from it.
[01:06:14.760 -> 01:06:19.240] Most of the team principals will do it, except if they're small.
[01:06:19.240 -> 01:06:20.720] Small brain energy like that.
[01:06:20.720 -> 01:06:21.720] Fuck em.
[01:06:21.720 -> 01:06:26.400] Why don't we, why don't we step over into the world of freedom and
[01:06:26.400 -> 01:06:32.920] the miraculous Indianapolis 500 the first time we've, we did have Connor daily on our
[01:06:32.920 -> 01:06:38.640] podcast a while back. Um, I was very, uh, I was not very well and I was quite high on
[01:06:38.640 -> 01:06:43.320] medication during that episode. So I don't know. I think, well, I think we'll have to
[01:06:43.320 -> 01:06:45.400] have Connor back sometimes to reflect on that.
[01:06:45.440 -> 01:06:49.540] But, um, we, I, this was my first time watching the Indy 500 start to finish.
[01:06:49.540 -> 01:06:51.340] I've watched bits and pieces of it when I caught it.
[01:06:51.620 -> 01:06:56.940] Um, and usually the past, whatever I was in Monaco on an airplane during the race.
[01:06:56.980 -> 01:07:00.220] So it was like, we're flying back from Monaco, where it's mostly like I
[01:07:00.220 -> 01:07:01.420] had a message from one of my buddies.
[01:07:01.900 -> 01:07:02.660] They just finished.
[01:07:03.060 -> 01:07:05.980] They got done having a beer after celebrating winning the race.
[01:07:06.000 -> 01:07:10.280] And they're like, yeah, I'm going to miss the 500 because, uh, yeah, I'm on a plane.
[01:07:10.680 -> 01:07:12.120] So confession time.
[01:07:13.160 -> 01:07:13.440] Go on.
[01:07:14.400 -> 01:07:18.840] I watched the Indy 500 this, um, this weekend.
[01:07:20.040 -> 01:07:20.440] Talk to me.
[01:07:20.560 -> 01:07:23.560] It was also the first ever IndyCar race I've ever watched.
[01:07:24.560 -> 01:07:25.740] I've never watched IndyCar.
[01:07:26.640 -> 01:07:27.140] Oh my.
[01:07:27.940 -> 01:07:31.060] I've not watched that many races to be fair, to be fair.
[01:07:32.860 -> 01:07:39.500] I just, um, so my schedule for Sunday was finished at 24 hour.
[01:07:40.240 -> 01:07:42.340] That came to a finish at 12.
[01:07:42.380 -> 01:07:45.440] And then I was like, Hmm, I could watch Monaco and then I'll watch the
[01:07:45.440 -> 01:07:51.280] Indy 500. I was like okay cool. I did what I do every year when I watch Monaco and fell asleep
[01:07:51.280 -> 01:07:58.160] by lap two. Yep so I had to go back and re-watch it today. Woke up just in time for the start of
[01:07:58.160 -> 01:08:02.560] the 500 so I thought okay I'm gonna watch the 500 if I you know I missed Monaco let's watch the 500
[01:08:02.560 -> 01:08:08.040] let's do it. And I live tweeted my experiences on Twitter.
[01:08:08.060 -> 01:08:09.520] So if you want to laugh, go have a look.
[01:08:09.520 -> 01:08:10.920] That was, that was a really good thread.
[01:08:10.920 -> 01:08:18.000] Cause it's, it's literally, uh, F1 diehards first reactions, questions,
[01:08:18.000 -> 01:08:20.280] honest thoughts about what's happening.
[01:08:20.320 -> 01:08:21.000] What do I notice?
[01:08:21.000 -> 01:08:21.520] What are you observing?
[01:08:21.520 -> 01:08:22.720] I think that was super cool.
[01:08:22.720 -> 01:08:28.000] The one that they could, they got, they got something they can use to shift the weight balance left or, left to right.
[01:08:28.000 -> 01:08:29.000] That's called the old jacker.
[01:08:29.000 -> 01:08:33.000] Yes. Yeah. Weight jacker or whatever they call it. I had no idea that was in the car.
[01:08:33.000 -> 01:08:37.000] And now when they've said it out loud, I'm like, damn, that makes a lot of sense when you're racing on an oval.
[01:08:37.000 -> 01:08:39.000] That's super cool. Yeah. Hell yeah, brother.
[01:08:39.000 -> 01:08:44.000] And then I noticed like the weird little things like the headrest on one side is significantly thicker.
[01:08:44.000 -> 01:08:46.080] I'm like, well, yeah, it makes sense. They're on an oval. The pad, it's like the weird little things like the headrest on one side is significantly thicker. I'm like, well, yeah, it makes sense.
[01:08:46.080 -> 01:08:46.680] They're on an oval.
[01:08:46.680 -> 01:08:47.360] The pad.
[01:08:47.360 -> 01:09:06.720] It's like, Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn You can't see the flame. Yeah. Um, the bowl of petunias that was next to the camera on the wall shot.
[01:09:06.720 -> 01:09:08.800] I don't know why that was there, but I'm glad it was.
[01:09:09.120 -> 01:09:09.360] Yeah.
[01:09:09.360 -> 01:09:10.520] I'm going to get some from my house.
[01:09:10.520 -> 01:09:10.880] Honestly.
[01:09:10.880 -> 01:09:11.400] I like those.
[01:09:11.400 -> 01:09:13.120] Those are, those are pretty nice touch.
[01:09:13.920 -> 01:09:15.640] So yeah, I watched it.
[01:09:15.680 -> 01:09:19.000] I, for the first, I don't know, let's say a hundred laps.
[01:09:19.560 -> 01:09:21.920] I was a little bit like, this is just driving around in a circle.
[01:09:21.920 -> 01:09:30.480] I don't understand what the fuss is all about, but then as it went on, I got it I was like okay I get it now it's like a slow build up and
[01:09:30.480 -> 01:09:34.480] it just sort of builds into this crescendo of like the last stint where everyone just goes mental
[01:09:35.360 -> 01:09:40.080] um but unfortunately we had like red flag after red flag I was just like oh okay
[01:09:41.280 -> 01:09:46.560] yeah I didn't I didn't realize this either. Thomas in the Twitch chat said the flowers
[01:09:46.560 -> 01:09:52.000] are a memorial for a passing of someone there, so I'm assuming. Yeah, that's that's sad.
[01:09:52.000 -> 01:09:57.880] It's a nice touch them. It looks it's it's fitting for a very spectacular majestic race
[01:09:57.880 -> 01:10:07.640] circuit. The brickyard, the yard of bricks. Yeah, dude, honestly, so I wasn't crazy about the song at the beginning and I know that's
[01:10:07.640 -> 01:10:12.920] part of the tradition, but seeing the cars line up three wide on the start and just watching
[01:10:12.920 -> 01:10:18.340] that I actually seriously got emotional watching that it was it was it was quite it was grand.
[01:10:18.340 -> 01:10:20.440] It was seriously grand.
[01:10:20.440 -> 01:10:25.000] I feel like I feel like it's difficult for me
[01:10:26.500 -> 01:10:28.460] without having context and knowing what's going on.
[01:10:28.460 -> 01:10:29.860] Like when you have cars out of sequence,
[01:10:29.860 -> 01:10:31.060] it's kind of hard to understand.
[01:10:31.060 -> 01:10:34.160] It's like, who needs to stop, fuel who needs to stop.
[01:10:34.160 -> 01:10:37.460] It's not really tire limited as far as I can tell often.
[01:10:37.460 -> 01:10:39.420] It might've been sometimes in this place,
[01:10:39.420 -> 01:10:42.580] but yeah, it's like, who's stopped,
[01:10:42.580 -> 01:10:46.280] who's going to come out on the lead on the final bit.
[01:10:46.280 -> 01:10:50.560] But if you, if unless you fall every stop, it's kind of takes up a little bit of capacity.
[01:10:50.560 -> 01:10:53.800] I think the broadcast or the tower could do a little bit of help with that with who needs
[01:10:53.800 -> 01:10:54.800] to stop.
[01:10:54.800 -> 01:10:56.080] But I did.
[01:10:56.080 -> 01:10:59.200] So I watched it on Sky Sports F1 in the UK.
[01:10:59.200 -> 01:11:01.000] That's that's where you watch it.
[01:11:01.000 -> 01:11:04.000] And that was one of my observations as well.
[01:11:04.000 -> 01:11:05.460] I was like, okay, cool.
[01:11:05.480 -> 01:11:06.620] I've got the time in tower.
[01:11:06.620 -> 01:11:10.800] And I was like, I'm not sure I would prefer to see lap times, but then I was like,
[01:11:10.800 -> 01:11:14.820] okay, no, actually gaps makes more sense because I can see who's drafting and whatnot.
[01:11:14.880 -> 01:11:19.120] But, um, yeah, no, to echo your point, it was a little bit like when people started
[01:11:19.120 -> 01:11:22.480] splitting strategies, I was like, it's kind of hard to follow who's pitted.
[01:11:23.000 -> 01:11:26.880] When exactly who's, who's. Who's effective race leader.
[01:11:27.760 -> 01:11:28.600] Yeah.
[01:11:28.600 -> 01:11:31.400] I think that's something, but even then,
[01:11:31.400 -> 01:11:32.640] when you get into multi, you know,
[01:11:32.640 -> 01:11:33.480] Formula One's easy,
[01:11:33.480 -> 01:11:35.800] cause it's often, it's been one stop slightly.
[01:11:35.800 -> 01:11:37.720] So it's like, they haven't pit yet.
[01:11:37.720 -> 01:11:39.000] They have to pit again.
[01:11:39.000 -> 01:11:40.480] And are they within 20 seconds? Fine.
[01:11:40.480 -> 01:11:44.720] But I think that might get better with watching it more.
[01:11:44.720 -> 01:11:49.040] I watched a European stream of the race, right? But every time the broadcasters went
[01:11:49.040 -> 01:11:52.480] quiet, I knew that the Americans watching on television were getting an advert.
[01:11:52.480 -> 01:11:55.920] It was literally two minutes on, two minutes off, two minutes on, two minutes off. I was like,
[01:11:56.560 -> 01:12:03.680] Jesus Christ, man. So the Sky Sports feed in the UK, we had every now and again, you'd get a
[01:12:03.680 -> 01:12:05.440] commentator, American commentator
[01:12:05.440 -> 01:12:09.720] giving you an advert I think I heard the word firestone tires about 500 times in
[01:12:09.720 -> 01:12:13.640] a minute but then I think when they switched to like a proper proper
[01:12:13.640 -> 01:12:20.560] commercial we randomly ended up in a UK studio with a couple of yeah I can't
[01:12:20.560 -> 01:12:24.740] remember who they were now Mark Blundell I think one of them was and some
[01:12:24.740 -> 01:12:27.460] commentator dude in the UK and they'll just give you like three minutes
[01:12:27.460 -> 01:12:30.160] of info and back to the race and say, all right, cool, whatever.
[01:12:31.300 -> 01:12:35.060] One of my buddies who was, um, used to be a performance
[01:12:35.060 -> 01:12:36.520] engineer for several teams.
[01:12:36.920 -> 01:12:41.120] Um, he was like the sky commentary was not spectacular.
[01:12:41.760 -> 01:12:45.960] He was like, they definitely do know that that That's not, you know, so I get
[01:12:45.960 -> 01:12:50.360] it. Fortunately, I just had silence. I could just hear the cars during the ad break, which
[01:12:50.360 -> 01:12:56.080] was glorious. And it was like, oh, I can finally focus. Dude, so I thought Patto had a shot
[01:12:56.080 -> 01:13:00.760] to win. I remember last year it was Ericsson and Patto award for the W.
[01:13:00.760 -> 01:13:04.320] No, I don't because this is the first one I've watched. So you tell me.
[01:13:04.320 -> 01:13:05.160] I watched that. It was Patto and I've watched. So you tell me. I watched that.
[01:13:05.160 -> 01:13:06.160] It was Patto and Erickson.
[01:13:06.160 -> 01:13:07.160] I'm pretty sure.
[01:13:07.160 -> 01:13:09.160] I picked it up from the military, but apparently this is what happened.
[01:13:09.160 -> 01:13:11.920] Yeah, so, and he's like, can he redeem himself?
[01:13:11.920 -> 01:13:16.680] And then he full sends up the inside of Erickson.
[01:13:16.680 -> 01:13:18.760] And he doesn't think Erickson gave him any space.
[01:13:18.760 -> 01:13:22.880] And when you watch the onboard, it looks like, yeah, but he's, he's reckless.
[01:13:22.880 -> 01:13:23.960] He's bold.
[01:13:23.960 -> 01:13:24.960] He's fast.
[01:13:24.960 -> 01:13:27.160] He's bold. He's fast. He's fiery. And, uh,
[01:13:27.160 -> 01:13:30.120] it w but it was, it looked opportunistic, but not a whole lot of space. One of those
[01:13:30.120 -> 01:13:35.120] weird ones, but shit happens. Uh, Erickson kept it on the road. And then we had the Abu
[01:13:35.120 -> 01:13:41.660] Dhabi 21 of IndyCar. The, you know, so there was the repeated yellow is a yellow flag or
[01:13:41.660 -> 01:13:51.460] red flag to the end. And what a lot of people were expecting was that you need a pace lap and then a green lap. Whereas the red flag at
[01:13:51.460 -> 01:13:56.900] the very end of the race meant that you basically went flying right away for the final lap of
[01:13:56.900 -> 01:14:00.700] the race. And people apparently that's the thing like they don't have, they can, the
[01:14:00.700 -> 01:14:05.400] race director can choose that. It's not, it's not like it has to be that way, but the ironic thing was,
[01:14:05.840 -> 01:14:07.220] is everybody was roasting.
[01:14:07.240 -> 01:14:12.320] Erickson was upset because new garden, uh, started second or third on the
[01:14:12.320 -> 01:14:16.120] row and got past him for the, for the wind, the Indy 500.
[01:14:16.640 -> 01:14:19.640] And did you know that you get a shitload of money for doing it back to back?
[01:14:20.900 -> 01:14:21.660] Indy 500 wins.
[01:14:21.660 -> 01:14:26.400] I think there was, I think they said during a commentary, someone was like Marcus Ericsson, someone's offered
[01:14:26.400 -> 01:14:29.120] him $420,000 if he does it back to back.
[01:14:29.120 -> 01:14:33.080] And I was like, is this like a 420 thing that I just don't understand or something?
[01:14:33.080 -> 01:14:34.080] I don't know.
[01:14:34.080 -> 01:14:35.080] Yeah, but that is wild.
[01:14:35.080 -> 01:14:37.960] So you can imagine he was a little upset about that.
[01:14:37.960 -> 01:14:45.960] But so Newgarden gives him the slingshot, grabs 12th gear and slides right past him for that
[01:14:45.960 -> 01:14:48.440] that wind at the end of five.
[01:14:48.440 -> 01:14:49.440] And then that was 500.
[01:14:49.440 -> 01:14:53.000] All I know is that next year, me and you need to get to the snake pit.
[01:14:53.000 -> 01:14:54.360] Done sign me up.
[01:14:54.360 -> 01:14:59.800] But it was funny because people started digging out Erickson's tweet from Abu Dhabi 21 saying
[01:14:59.800 -> 01:15:02.320] spectacular great finish, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[01:15:02.320 -> 01:15:05.120] And they're like, how you like that now man?
[01:15:05.280 -> 01:15:08.660] He's like he basically thought that the finish was was not fair
[01:15:09.680 -> 01:15:15.880] Yeah, I don't know. I think again first race. So I'm not gonna sit here and talk with any authority me neither
[01:15:16.640 -> 01:15:18.160] but I
[01:15:18.160 -> 01:15:24.960] Thought it was it seemed pretty obvious that if you're only gonna have one lap that the draft is so powerful that whoever's first
[01:15:24.960 -> 01:15:28.740] On that last lap is not going to cross the line first.
[01:15:28.740 -> 01:15:29.740] Mmm.
[01:15:29.740 -> 01:15:32.340] Uncle Elias had a good one.
[01:15:32.340 -> 01:15:35.900] So one of the previous restarts, Pato was leading it, right?
[01:15:35.900 -> 01:15:39.900] And the race starter said you're going too slow for the restart.
[01:15:39.900 -> 01:15:42.160] So they made them do another lap.
[01:15:42.160 -> 01:15:47.280] All he had to do was do another slow lap and just Po it. And he could have taken the checkered under yellow.
[01:15:50.320 -> 01:15:52.120] Another great one from a Bistrom.
[01:15:52.680 -> 01:15:57.240] Bistrom was in, in the grandstands at turn two where that tire yeeted over.
[01:15:57.520 -> 01:16:02.040] You see the tires yeeted, just misses the grandstands and smashes into a car.
[01:16:02.320 -> 01:16:06.080] The lady whose car it was, they found her and they invited her out and they gave her
[01:16:06.080 -> 01:16:07.080] a lift home and...
[01:16:07.080 -> 01:16:11.520] Twitter, it's just like a photo of her on the finish line or whatever and the safety
[01:16:11.520 -> 01:16:12.880] car and that, yeah.
[01:16:12.880 -> 01:16:15.360] They're like, please don't sue us.
[01:16:15.360 -> 01:16:16.360] Please don't sue us.
[01:16:16.360 -> 01:16:17.360] It's America.
[01:16:17.360 -> 01:16:21.360] I need you to reply, like saying, oh, I hope that fucking safety car is her new car you've
[01:16:21.360 -> 01:16:22.360] just given her.
[01:16:22.360 -> 01:16:23.360] Yeah, yeah, exactly.
[01:16:23.360 -> 01:16:25.360] But you know, that is a wild fucking tyre failure thing. safety car is her new car. You've just given her. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
[01:16:28.520 -> 01:16:29.280] But you know, that is a wild fucking tire failure thing.
[01:16:30.640 -> 01:16:30.760] I really enjoyed that.
[01:16:33.520 -> 01:16:33.680] And I would really like to go to an IndyCar race.
[01:16:37.280 -> 01:16:37.600] I think next year, here's, here's my, here's my, here's my list for next year. Right.
[01:16:38.160 -> 01:16:40.800] I would love to go out and do some content.
[01:16:41.060 -> 01:16:41.960] I think we could have a lot of fun.
[01:16:41.960 -> 01:16:50.120] I think we could offer a lot of insight and we've got a great network of people. Listen, if the red flags boys can get out there, fuck
[01:16:50.120 -> 01:16:54.360] it. We can get out there. If them two jokers, right? And I'm talking to you too. I know
[01:16:54.360 -> 01:16:59.280] you're, I know you're those guys are so fucking good. I love those guys. Clowns can get invited.
[01:16:59.280 -> 01:17:03.780] So can we, I gotta give it, I gotta give it up to another F1 podcast. So if you haven't
[01:17:03.780 -> 01:17:05.320] checked out the red flags podcast,
[01:17:05.320 -> 01:17:06.560] those guys are awesome.
[01:17:07.560 -> 01:17:11.040] Matt, Brian and the producer, Jenny are all absolute class.
[01:17:11.040 -> 01:17:15.120] They've got an excellent podcast,
[01:17:15.120 -> 01:17:16.320] but they were out there having,
[01:17:16.320 -> 01:17:19.160] they live in their best life out in Indy.
[01:17:19.160 -> 01:17:22.000] But I think next year, I wanna go to Talladega.
[01:17:22.000 -> 01:17:23.440] I wanna go to Indy 500.
[01:17:23.440 -> 01:17:26.120] I wanna go to Daytona, Rolex, baby. I wanna go to Talladega. I want to go to Indy 500. I want to go to Daytona.
[01:17:26.120 -> 01:17:27.120] Rolex baby.
[01:17:27.120 -> 01:17:32.200] I want to go to that Nürburgring 24 and I want to go to my second 24 hours of Le Mans.
[01:17:32.200 -> 01:17:34.840] So I'm going this year in two weeks.
[01:17:34.840 -> 01:17:37.000] 24 hours of Le Mans.
[01:17:37.000 -> 01:17:38.000] Boom.
[01:17:38.000 -> 01:17:39.000] Yeah.
[01:17:39.000 -> 01:17:40.000] I'll be doing that next year.
[01:17:40.000 -> 01:17:41.000] Let's go.
[01:17:41.000 -> 01:17:42.000] A campsite.
[01:17:42.000 -> 01:17:43.000] Yeah.
[01:17:43.000 -> 01:17:44.000] Yeah.
[01:17:44.000 -> 01:17:45.040] Let's go. All right. Cool. I, let's go. All right, cool.
[01:17:45.280 -> 01:17:46.080] Yes, you bring up.
[01:17:46.160 -> 01:17:47.200] I'm going to get out there.
[01:17:47.200 -> 01:17:48.480] I think I want to go to some.
[01:17:49.080 -> 01:17:52.000] I know I want to go to a Formula One race again this year, but man.
[01:17:52.760 -> 01:17:55.360] Somebody call me if you want us to take us live break reviews.
[01:17:55.360 -> 01:17:55.920] We got you.
[01:17:56.080 -> 01:17:56.560] We got you.
[01:17:56.560 -> 01:17:59.880] I'll happily go to another Formula One race, but I'm not prepared to pay for it myself.
[01:17:59.880 -> 01:18:00.380] Yeah.
[01:18:01.400 -> 01:18:01.900] Yeah.
[01:18:02.400 -> 01:18:03.400] Let's just talk after this.
[01:18:03.400 -> 01:18:04.040] I got an idea.
[01:18:04.160 -> 01:18:04.480] Seriously.
[01:18:04.480 -> 01:18:05.100] I've got an idea. I'll talk to you an idea. Seriously, I've got an idea.
[01:18:05.100 -> 01:18:05.900] I'll talk to you after this.
[01:18:05.900 -> 01:18:07.200] Alright, plans for emotion.
[01:18:07.700 -> 01:18:09.600] Yep, we've got something sorted.
[01:18:10.200 -> 01:18:11.200] So you want to go to an F1 race?
[01:18:11.200 -> 01:18:11.700] Seriously?
[01:18:13.400 -> 01:18:14.700] Yeah, I'll fucking take a freebie.
[01:18:14.700 -> 01:18:15.100] Let's go.
[01:18:15.700 -> 01:18:16.100] Alright, cool.
[01:18:16.100 -> 01:18:16.800] I'll talk to you after this.
[01:18:17.900 -> 01:18:19.300] Alright, you will care.
[01:18:19.400 -> 01:18:21.300] Alright, Barcelona preview.
[01:18:21.600 -> 01:18:23.800] Circuit de Catalunya's.
[01:18:24.600 -> 01:18:25.440] Circuit changes.
[01:18:25.440 -> 01:18:28.520] They got rid of the they got rid of the chicken at the end, brother.
[01:18:28.520 -> 01:18:29.520] Hallelujah.
[01:18:29.520 -> 01:18:30.520] Hallelujah.
[01:18:30.520 -> 01:18:34.400] That slow speed curbing mother trucker them chickens.
[01:18:34.400 -> 01:18:35.400] They got rid of them.
[01:18:35.400 -> 01:18:36.680] So the chicane is gone.
[01:18:36.680 -> 01:18:40.940] It's now just too fast to inhale right handers and people have estimated that puts the tractor
[01:18:40.940 -> 01:18:43.320] on four or five seconds a lap faster.
[01:18:43.320 -> 01:18:45.120] It could make some interesting
[01:18:45.120 -> 01:18:49.760] differences to set up because without the chickeny, you might not need to run as stiff.
[01:18:49.760 -> 01:18:54.880] You might be able to run stiffer because it's, yeah, it's a fast one. And I think everybody,
[01:18:56.080 -> 01:18:59.200] everybody's happy about getting rid of the chickeny. So yeah,
[01:18:59.200 -> 01:19:01.840] I've never used a single person I've seen next complaint.
[01:19:02.480 -> 01:19:06.400] Now other great news in 2018, the toilet blocks were upgraded because they were
[01:19:06.400 -> 01:19:09.760] absolute shit holes before they were shit hole shit holes.
[01:19:09.920 -> 01:19:13.560] It's another engine breaking circuit trackside toilet review.
[01:19:13.560 -> 01:19:14.080] Ladies and gentlemen.
[01:19:14.120 -> 01:19:14.320] Yeah.
[01:19:14.720 -> 01:19:15.000] Yeah.
[01:19:15.080 -> 01:19:15.840] We need to go back.
[01:19:15.840 -> 01:19:19.120] I'll get some, uh, I'll get, I'll have some people on the ground in Barcelona.
[01:19:19.480 -> 01:19:21.920] Um, I definitely know a couple of people.
[01:19:21.920 -> 01:19:24.640] I'll ask them for a toilet review and we'll preview it next week.
[01:19:24.680 -> 01:19:26.280] Seriously. Remind me that chat.
[01:19:26.280 -> 01:19:28.280] Remind me that in the discord.
[01:19:28.280 -> 01:19:29.280] Right.
[01:19:29.280 -> 01:19:32.200] So I got a couple of stories from Barcelona.
[01:19:32.200 -> 01:19:33.720] I got a couple.
[01:19:33.720 -> 01:19:39.360] My first race in Barcelona, 2012, I was Paul, the rest is performance engineer.
[01:19:39.360 -> 01:19:43.320] The Saturday night before the tire expert for the team, we went to a tapas restaurant
[01:19:43.320 -> 01:19:48.180] and he does this thing where if your glasses up on the table and you're out, um, he just fills your cup up
[01:19:48.180 -> 01:19:49.180] with whatever.
[01:19:49.180 -> 01:19:51.240] And they had like a roof or something like the herbal decor.
[01:19:51.240 -> 01:19:55.800] And, uh, yeah, I must've had like a lot of those and I didn't have hangovers.
[01:19:55.800 -> 01:19:58.480] His back is bad back in the day, but it was pretty rough.
[01:19:58.480 -> 01:20:01.920] Uh, I screwed up fuel and qualifying and GP had to save me.
[01:20:01.920 -> 01:20:02.920] That was good.
[01:20:02.920 -> 01:20:04.480] Uh, I also remember that one.
[01:20:04.480 -> 01:20:08.200] Yeah. I'm also pretty sure that that was the race that I had to take a piss
[01:20:08.200 -> 01:20:09.320] during the middle of the race.
[01:20:09.320 -> 01:20:10.560] I'm running the fuel sheet.
[01:20:10.840 -> 01:20:13.040] Um, yeah, that was that was not good.
[01:20:13.040 -> 01:20:16.040] I ran and I don't think I wash my hands to save time.
[01:20:16.040 -> 01:20:18.560] Now, Pastor Maldonado won that race.
[01:20:19.840 -> 01:20:21.960] And here's here's a here's a hold on.
[01:20:21.960 -> 01:20:22.960] I've got I've got a thing.
[01:20:22.960 -> 01:20:24.160] Hold on one.
[01:20:24.160 -> 01:20:25.400] We've got to do something real quick.
[01:20:26.800 -> 01:20:30.600] F1's wackiest rumors, theories and conspiracies
[01:20:30.800 -> 01:20:33.800] on this episode of the fraud files.
[01:20:36.200 -> 01:20:42.400] So. Fraud files, conspiracy theory time, people have rumored
[01:20:42.500 -> 01:20:50.000] that since it was Sir Frank Williams' birthday on the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix,
[01:20:50.000 -> 01:20:53.000] that Williams looked especially quick that weekend.
[01:20:53.000 -> 01:21:00.000] And there's several instances in the past where when it was like some, you know, momentous day or a celebration or an anniversary or something,
[01:21:00.000 -> 01:21:05.660] Bernie, Bernie would give somebody a little treat. And the rumor was that they
[01:21:05.660 -> 01:21:11.720] gave Williams some special fuel that gave them a little bit of an extra oomph. Maldonado
[01:21:11.720 -> 01:21:19.520] was insane. He was rapid fast. So the rumor is that they gave Williams some special fuel
[01:21:19.520 -> 01:21:24.400] and Maldonado was sailing so that Frank Williams could have a great celebration for his birthday.
[01:21:24.400 -> 01:21:25.680] Rest in peace. I heard it was special tires, but I'll have a great celebration for his birthday.
[01:21:28.560 -> 01:21:32.080] I heard it was special tires, but I'll go with what it was. It was fuel. It was fuel. And this is going to make sense in a minute that it was special fuel.
[01:21:32.080 -> 01:21:38.160] So you see the celebration, you know, when some of the underdog wins a race, the celebration and
[01:21:38.160 -> 01:21:46.960] the atmosphere in the garage is insane. I remember seeing the pictures of the cameras in the garage. They didn't look that they were like, oh, ha ha ha.
[01:21:46.960 -> 01:21:47.960] Nice.
[01:21:47.960 -> 01:21:48.960] Yay.
[01:21:48.960 -> 01:21:49.960] Yay.
[01:21:49.960 -> 01:21:52.240] And guess what else happens after the race?
[01:21:52.240 -> 01:21:54.920] The Williams group spontaneously combusts.
[01:21:54.920 -> 01:22:00.480] The Williams garage catches fire from a fuel Bowser issue, which is the rig that used to
[01:22:00.480 -> 01:22:01.840] feel the car.
[01:22:01.840 -> 01:22:03.520] They burn the evidence.
[01:22:03.520 -> 01:22:04.520] Allegedly.
[01:22:04.520 -> 01:22:07.120] Allegedly. So I remember,
[01:22:07.120 -> 01:22:11.600] I remember I'm in a meeting in the fourth, Cindy of motor home, right? And we look out the window
[01:22:11.600 -> 01:22:17.760] and there is disgusting gray smoke pouring out of the garages. There's mechanics rushing in there
[01:22:17.760 -> 01:22:21.760] with fire extinguishers from every team. Everybody's chipping in like, no, like this is,
[01:22:21.760 -> 01:22:25.020] this is somebody's gonna get hurt. Let's make sure there's nobody's in there. The fire brigade came out.
[01:22:25.340 -> 01:22:29.000] Um, but yeah, it was absolutely wild.
[01:22:29.060 -> 01:22:32.360] And that was my first time at a formula one racist performance
[01:22:32.360 -> 01:22:33.840] engineer, absolutely nutty.
[01:22:34.780 -> 01:22:36.060] But, uh, yeah, that's fraud files.
[01:22:36.360 -> 01:22:37.120] I don't know what you think about that.
[01:22:38.000 -> 01:22:44.400] I think setting fire to race fuel is, um, hide the evidence, man.
[01:22:44.920 -> 01:22:46.300] Pretty fucking extreme. That's like using a sledgehammer. Is. Hide the evidence, man, pretty fucking extreme.
[01:22:46.660 -> 01:22:48.300] That's like using a sledgehammer.
[01:22:49.120 -> 01:22:49.620] Right.
[01:22:50.620 -> 01:22:54.340] I mean, oh, I know what let's just set fire to this race fuel in this
[01:22:54.580 -> 01:22:57.400] light, small contained area, what could possibly go wrong?
[01:22:58.540 -> 01:23:01.820] You don't want to get caught having a special race, you'll be burnt down
[01:23:01.820 -> 01:23:03.300] half the fucking garages.
[01:23:04.300 -> 01:23:05.920] He's Bernie Ecclestone man.
[01:23:05.920 -> 01:23:06.920] Come on.
[01:23:06.920 -> 01:23:09.200] He's like, hey Frank, I'm going to give you a dub.
[01:23:09.200 -> 01:23:11.960] You guys going to that's going to boost you in the championship, but I need you to make
[01:23:11.960 -> 01:23:13.480] sure that nobody finds out.
[01:23:13.480 -> 01:23:16.160] Yeah, that's got Bernie all over it.
[01:23:16.160 -> 01:23:19.600] Several thousand millions of arson.
[01:23:19.600 -> 01:23:28.040] Anyway, 2016 Barcelona was the race in which helmet decided to swap the nail Kivya and
[01:23:28.040 -> 01:23:30.000] Max Verstappen.
[01:23:30.000 -> 01:23:32.280] I was Kivya performance engineer in Russia.
[01:23:32.280 -> 01:23:36.560] I was Max's performance engineer in Spain.
[01:23:36.560 -> 01:23:38.760] This is the Rossberg era.
[01:23:38.760 -> 01:23:44.520] He and Lewis take each other out turn for Daniel gets a little bit unlucky with the
[01:23:44.520 -> 01:23:46.880] safety or with the strategy. Max
[01:23:46.880 -> 01:23:53.600] Verstappen fights off Raikkonen to get his first win in Formula One. It was my first
[01:23:53.600 -> 01:23:56.520] win in Formula One. It was a lot of people on that team's first win in Formula One. That
[01:23:56.520 -> 01:24:01.680] was super cool. And then to celebrate, we moved hotels that night and I had pizza and
[01:24:01.680 -> 01:24:05.520] granolas with GP and Rocky and the performance engineer.
[01:24:05.520 -> 01:24:10.120] While everybody else was getting pissed up in Barcelona.
[01:24:10.120 -> 01:24:11.960] I was, I was down bad, but I was exhausted.
[01:24:11.960 -> 01:24:15.320] We didn't get out of the track until super late, but yeah.
[01:24:15.320 -> 01:24:18.440] But yeah, that's a cool story.
[01:24:18.440 -> 01:24:21.880] This year, last year, probably brought the hardest range of tires.
[01:24:21.880 -> 01:24:22.960] I didn't see what they're bringing yet.
[01:24:22.960 -> 01:24:24.880] I didn't see Pirelli's document yet.
[01:24:24.880 -> 01:24:26.760] So they brought last year, the C1, 2 and 3.
[01:24:27.400 -> 01:24:33.840] Uh, we are getting, I believe I remember this now, I believe we're getting for maybe
[01:24:33.840 -> 01:24:38.320] FP1 and FP2, the Silverstone upgraded tires for a test session.
[01:24:39.800 -> 01:24:40.040] Okay.
[01:24:40.040 -> 01:24:41.320] So we're testing out the new tires.
[01:24:41.320 -> 01:24:43.640] Do you, do you know what the, is it, are they going to bring the C0 here?
[01:24:44.520 -> 01:24:46.240] Uh, I don't know what compounds they are.
[01:24:46.240 -> 01:24:48.540] I just know that we're getting,
[01:24:48.540 -> 01:24:53.000] I think, two test sets for each team of the new Silverstone spec tire.
[01:24:53.580 -> 01:24:55.780] OK, that's something that Pirelli said.
[01:24:56.040 -> 01:24:58.180] Ah, we didn't realize the cars are going to get faster.
[01:24:58.200 -> 01:25:00.440] Darn, they never get faster throughout the season.
[01:25:00.440 -> 01:25:01.180] Who would have thought?
[01:25:02.400 -> 01:25:08.680] So, yeah, that's that's the, special gift that they're getting this year.
[01:25:08.680 -> 01:25:09.680] Yeah.
[01:25:09.680 -> 01:25:11.720] But here's an interesting fuel, just spicy tires.
[01:25:11.720 -> 01:25:12.720] Exactly.
[01:25:12.720 -> 01:25:16.720] But those are just for practice in preparation for introducing these and so on.
[01:25:16.720 -> 01:25:18.360] But here's the interesting thing.
[01:25:18.360 -> 01:25:20.320] Last year it was a three shop race.
[01:25:20.320 -> 01:25:23.560] It was two, most teams did two softs and two mediums.
[01:25:23.560 -> 01:25:28.720] Um, nobody really messed with the hard the hard on that was fighting for anything.
[01:25:28.720 -> 01:25:32.920] So is this race like because that was the hardest range of tires they had this year.
[01:25:32.920 -> 01:25:37.340] And unless they bring the C0, one and two.
[01:25:37.340 -> 01:25:41.760] It will be if they bring C0, C2 and C3, it'll be the same tires.
[01:25:41.760 -> 01:25:45.520] I'm sure I will bring whatever is the most boring.
[01:25:45.520 -> 01:25:47.880] So we get another stupid one stop.
[01:25:47.880 -> 01:25:51.600] If we if we get forced into another one stop, I'm going to literally cry.
[01:25:51.600 -> 01:25:55.080] But without do you anything else for your Barcelona preview?
[01:25:55.080 -> 01:25:58.240] I guess it's a bit short, but the episode is that we're an hour and a half in and you
[01:25:58.240 -> 01:26:01.360] guys are absolute troopers in for it.
[01:26:01.360 -> 01:26:03.680] I don't know any interesting stories from me.
[01:26:03.680 -> 01:26:10.560] Not really. Uh, the fact that nearly every single year the car got broken into in the car park.
[01:26:10.560 -> 01:26:12.040] Um, oh yeah.
[01:26:12.040 -> 01:26:13.040] Yeah.
[01:26:13.040 -> 01:26:16.920] Here's another good thing when you, you know that you're arriving at circuit, the Catalunya
[01:26:16.920 -> 01:26:19.720] because when you pull up to the circuit, there's a sewer line that runs through the place and
[01:26:19.720 -> 01:26:21.560] it smells of shit every morning.
[01:26:21.560 -> 01:26:22.560] Yeah.
[01:26:22.560 -> 01:26:27.200] It's car glass everywhere because for some fucking reason everyone's cars get
[01:26:27.200 -> 01:26:28.200] broken into.
[01:26:28.200 -> 01:26:31.440] I don't know if that's any better now.
[01:26:31.440 -> 01:26:33.800] Getting changed in the car park to Hollywood.
[01:26:33.800 -> 01:26:34.800] Glamorous.
[01:26:34.800 -> 01:26:35.800] Yeah, glamorous.
[01:26:35.800 -> 01:26:43.320] And other than that, I'll just say shout out ribs and blues in Mataro.
[01:26:43.320 -> 01:26:44.320] Everyone should go there.
[01:26:44.320 -> 01:26:45.080] It's fantastic.
[01:26:45.760 -> 01:26:45.840] Yeah.
[01:26:45.840 -> 01:26:50.480] Mataro was, uh, just a little coast, a little port town.
[01:26:51.280 -> 01:26:51.520] Yeah.
[01:26:52.360 -> 01:26:53.560] I stayed there with force Indian.
[01:26:53.600 -> 01:26:56.320] Like I think like when, when you guys were on set up crew and stuff and some of the
[01:26:56.320 -> 01:27:01.520] mechanics would stay in Mataro, Mataro, um, there's a really good mom and pop tap
[01:27:01.520 -> 01:27:06.620] past place, which is the one where, uh, the old tire expert used to get us all lit up on the sauce on a Saturday night.
[01:27:06.620 -> 01:27:08.540] I mean, it's just Sunday and a force India, right?
[01:27:08.540 -> 01:27:09.540] Nothing's going to happen, right?
[01:27:09.540 -> 01:27:12.620] Hotel was always next to the fucking train station, though.
[01:27:12.620 -> 01:27:14.380] Oh shit, that sucks.
[01:27:14.380 -> 01:27:16.060] We say to all noise.
[01:27:16.060 -> 01:27:17.060] That sucks.
[01:27:17.060 -> 01:27:21.260] Give me your predictions for qualifying, right?
[01:27:21.260 -> 01:27:22.260] Predictions for qualifying.
[01:27:22.260 -> 01:27:24.940] And why so I see predictions for qualifying.
[01:27:24.940 -> 01:27:31.880] Yep, they're not spicy at all. You're boring. Verstappen Perez Alonso. Two more top five
[01:27:31.880 -> 01:27:39.640] call. How on Russell? I've gone Verstappen Perez, the clear Alonso Russell. I'm sick
[01:27:39.640 -> 01:27:46.080] and tired of being extravagant in my predictions. It works yeah I know they but like honestly who's
[01:27:46.080 -> 01:27:52.880] gonna put on in last week I'm going magnolia paint vanilla ice cream this is bland and bland
[01:27:52.880 -> 01:27:57.520] margarita pizza speaking of I haven't had dinner yet please stop talking about food
[01:27:58.400 -> 01:28:03.600] no seriously I'm down horrendously bad um big shout out this weekend I smoked a four kilo
[01:28:03.600 -> 01:28:05.800] brisket on my Traeger. Can't go
[01:28:05.800 -> 01:28:09.440] an episode without mentioning Traeger. It was awesome. He had Macca's. I'm going to
[01:28:09.440 -> 01:28:13.600] get Macca's after this probably. Um, race podium. You've got it. You've got it. You've
[01:28:13.600 -> 01:28:22.240] got a little gone. Yeah, go on. I'll give it a little
[01:28:22.240 -> 01:28:27.160] spicy podium. Alonzo. He's going to get his win in Spain. That'd be great. That'd
[01:28:27.160 -> 01:28:32.760] be great. And yeah. Scar in the chat says the same thing. I'm going to have a meltdown.
[01:28:32.760 -> 01:28:39.120] Yeah. I mean, the staff is going to be P2 Charles for some, I mean, it's out of pity
[01:28:39.120 -> 01:28:45.800] at this point. He's going to get a pitiful. Yeah. He's gonna get pay free. Alright. I'm a.
[01:28:47.080 -> 01:28:49.520] I'm going for stop and Paris Hamilton on the podium.
[01:28:50.000 -> 01:28:51.400] I think I think Hamilton's gonna have a good race.
[01:28:51.400 -> 01:28:54.800] I don't see the Ferraris doing well at a track where last year
[01:28:54.800 -> 01:28:55.560] Deg was a feature.
[01:28:55.560 -> 01:28:55.920] I'm not.
[01:28:55.940 -> 01:28:59.920] I'm not expecting a huge offset in last year's a three stop.
[01:28:59.940 -> 01:29:04.720] I doubt this will be a one stop, especially with the removal of
[01:29:04.720 -> 01:29:05.280] the chicken. He. But sorry, you said that you doubt it will be a one stop, especially with the removal of the chicken.
[01:29:06.440 -> 01:29:07.360] But sorry, you said it.
[01:29:07.360 -> 01:29:08.680] You doubt it will be a one stop.
[01:29:09.320 -> 01:29:11.560] Yeah, I doubt, but I'm not going to surprise
[01:29:11.560 -> 01:29:12.280] ladies and gentlemen.
[01:29:12.320 -> 01:29:14.640] Blake is now fucking jinx this to be more.
[01:29:15.240 -> 01:29:16.520] Boring than any other.
[01:29:16.520 -> 01:29:18.960] I'm like God, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
[01:29:20.440 -> 01:29:21.720] But yeah, why don't we?
[01:29:21.720 -> 01:29:23.680] We now we picked a team last week.
[01:29:24.480 -> 01:29:26.160] From Monaco for a random fandom. We need to pick a team this weekend. As we do, don't we now we pick the team last week? from Monaco for a random fandom
[01:29:26.540 -> 01:29:28.540] We need to pick a team this weekend
[01:29:29.480 -> 01:29:35.580] If anybody mentions anti-dive again, I'm gonna lose my shit seriously. Are you still crying about anti-dive? Yeah
[01:29:36.440 -> 01:29:38.440] It's been for first
[01:29:39.240 -> 01:29:41.240] Spin for me
[01:29:42.720 -> 01:29:45.800] Very says I hey Barry hi, hey, Barry.
[01:29:48.640 -> 01:29:49.900] As a hey, buddy, you if you're watching.
[01:29:52.800 -> 01:29:56.200] Mercedes, yeah, just to say this, Mercedes, because I want to get upgrades.
[01:29:56.700 -> 01:29:57.400] Yeah, exactly.
[01:29:57.400 -> 01:29:59.040] And this is the first time because they brought a new package.
[01:29:59.040 -> 01:30:03.140] They intended to bring it for Imola, but they've brought it for Monaco
[01:30:03.360 -> 01:30:05.400] and we won't get a good shot of what it looks like.
[01:30:05.400 -> 01:30:08.900] It's a performance until you make much fucking sense out of it in Monaco.
[01:30:08.900 -> 01:30:10.600] Spain will be much better sort of.
[01:30:10.600 -> 01:30:12.800] What do you call it?
[01:30:12.800 -> 01:30:13.500] Test?
[01:30:13.500 -> 01:30:15.000] Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
[01:30:15.000 -> 01:30:15.800] God's sake.
[01:30:15.800 -> 01:30:18.100] What do you do you have on your random friend?
[01:30:18.100 -> 01:30:19.200] Oh my God.
[01:30:20.800 -> 01:30:22.100] I'm sorry, dude.
[01:30:22.100 -> 01:30:30.240] I'm just going to write a list of all the swears that he does on the radio.
[01:30:30.240 -> 01:30:39.000] Thanks. Right. Um, I did, I did support my local butcher this weekend. Um, yeah, I did
[01:30:39.000 -> 01:30:43.040] my local Barry. He's now about to climb all over your mic. Yeah. Barry's here. If you're,
[01:30:43.040 -> 01:30:45.920] if you're listening on the audio platforms, my big fluffy black and
[01:30:45.920 -> 01:30:48.640] white cat and Barry has, uh, come up.
[01:30:48.640 -> 01:30:49.440] He wants some attention.
[01:30:49.440 -> 01:30:51.000] It's nine 15 in the evening.
[01:30:51.400 -> 01:30:53.840] He's been fed, but now he needs his evening snuggles.
[01:30:53.840 -> 01:30:55.480] So we're going to go watch some TV in a minute.
[01:30:55.640 -> 01:30:55.920] All right.
[01:30:55.920 -> 01:30:57.720] What do you want for his random fandom?
[01:30:58.760 -> 01:31:00.640] Uh, I don't know.
[01:31:01.760 -> 01:31:03.600] I said, I'll not close the window now.
[01:31:03.640 -> 01:31:04.000] Okay.
[01:31:05.280 -> 01:31:06.280] Tough. Okay.
[01:31:06.280 -> 01:31:07.280] Tough.
[01:31:07.280 -> 01:31:08.280] Yep.
[01:31:08.280 -> 01:31:09.280] All right.
[01:31:09.280 -> 01:31:13.800] Well, ladies and gentlemen, thanks for supporting your local butcher.
[01:31:13.800 -> 01:31:15.940] Thank you for supporting me.
[01:31:15.940 -> 01:31:20.000] Anyone that did during the Le Mans 24 hour charity run, I was very appreciative of that
[01:31:20.000 -> 01:31:21.000] for you.
[01:31:21.000 -> 01:31:22.000] Yeah, definitely.
[01:31:22.000 -> 01:31:25.680] Thank you guys. Remember checking on your mates. Tell your
[01:31:25.680 -> 01:31:32.960] mum you love her. Checking on your nan and just just be excellent to each other. Stop
[01:31:32.960 -> 01:31:37.680] being dicks on Twitter. Fucking life's too short. Yeah, definitely. Stop being quote
[01:31:37.680 -> 01:31:44.160] tweet and merchants. You rats. Those are kind of fun sometimes. All right. Fuck off.
[01:31:40.800 -> 01:31:43.800] Those are kind of fun sometimes then.
[01:31:43.800 -> 01:31:45.800] Alright, fuck off.
