[00:00.000 -> 00:09.000] You're listening to the most fraudulent F1 podcast with Dan, aka EngineNode11.
[00:09.000 -> 00:12.680] I secretly moonlight as Helmut Marko at race weekends.
[00:12.680 -> 00:14.680] And Blake, aka Brake.
[00:14.680 -> 00:17.880] Echo chambers of farts and idiots on Twitter after races.
[00:17.880 -> 00:20.920] It's the engine breaking F1 podcast.
[00:20.920 -> 00:29.880] Boom, get it up here. Episode 30, believe it or not, we made it, ladies and gentlemen,
[00:29.880 -> 00:36.400] we made it. Congratulations. We've not been cancelled. FOM media have not kicked our doors
[00:36.400 -> 00:43.400] down. Helmut Marko has not taken us out with a sniper. Yeah, 30 episodes deep. We're doing
[00:43.400 -> 00:44.400] well.
[00:44.400 -> 00:49.400] Which is impressive considering the amount of chowdhury and fraudulence and we're doing
[00:49.400 -> 00:52.080] our best to keep this alive.
[00:52.080 -> 00:53.080] So welcome.
[00:53.080 -> 00:54.080] Yeah.
[00:54.080 -> 00:55.080] Who are you?
[00:55.080 -> 00:56.080] Who are you again?
[00:56.080 -> 01:00.160] Well, I was gonna say, speaking of we, I am Dan, aka Engine Mode 11.
[01:00.160 -> 01:04.280] Six years as a F1 Senior Systems Engineer at Red Bull.
[01:04.280 -> 01:07.360] And I'm joined by my wonderful social media husband,
[01:08.280 -> 01:09.480] Blake, AKA Break.
[01:09.480 -> 01:11.840] And why don't you give your credentials, my friend?
[01:13.280 -> 01:16.300] Much like you, I still living from Red Bull for six years.
[01:17.780 -> 01:18.960] Three years, the track,
[01:18.960 -> 01:21.340] a couple of years in the simulators performance engineer,
[01:21.340 -> 01:23.360] did a performance engineer track side at Force India.
[01:23.360 -> 01:27.040] So we did, I spent a lot of time in the traveling circus in the
[01:27.040 -> 01:28.520] trackside world of Formula One.
[01:29.040 -> 01:30.700] And now I'm here.
[01:30.700 -> 01:31.840] I'm full-time content creator.
[01:31.840 -> 01:36.080] You, you're holding down a real job and doing iRacing content, which is new on
[01:36.080 -> 01:39.000] your YouTube, by the way, engine mode, 11 Dan's YouTube, check it out.
[01:39.480 -> 01:40.680] That was, that was a close.
[01:40.720 -> 01:41.540] That was a close one.
[01:41.540 -> 01:43.640] If you haven't subbed the Dan's YouTube channel, get involved.
[01:43.720 -> 01:45.880] He's, he's got the steam back.
[01:45.880 -> 01:48.080] I racing content has reignited it.
[01:48.080 -> 01:53.680] And I, I do a lot of analytical technical analysis and I've had people put comment on
[01:53.680 -> 01:54.680] my YouTube.
[01:54.680 -> 01:56.480] They're like, who is this Blake?
[01:56.480 -> 01:59.600] This is a completely different Blake to the podcast because it's like kind of serious
[01:59.600 -> 02:00.600] and stuff.
[02:00.600 -> 02:04.760] But, uh, yeah, but, but that's, that's what we're doing right now.
[02:04.760 -> 02:15.680] So this. But uh, yeah, but that's what we're doing right now. So here, sorry, I was gonna say if you're here and you're expecting some deep technical analysis based on hard cold facts, go find another fucking podcast because we ain't got clue what we're talking about.
[02:16.640 -> 02:23.600] I try to sprinkle in a little bit every now and then, but sometimes it's kind of hard to tell when I'm serious, but I do make it clear every now and then I'll get on.
[02:24.040 -> 02:27.720] I'll get on my pedestal, but for the rest of that break F1 on YouTube.
[02:27.720 -> 02:32.680] But anyway, yeah, we're here to hashtag make F1 fun again.
[02:32.680 -> 02:33.680] So what do we got for everybody today?
[02:33.680 -> 02:34.680] We've got a little bit of F1 news.
[02:34.680 -> 02:37.160] We got a couple topics.
[02:37.160 -> 02:41.680] Dan and I, I you've you've been into endurance racing for a while and I'm starting to get
[02:41.680 -> 02:44.480] the itch since watching the Nurburgring 24.
[02:44.480 -> 02:48.640] I recently attended the Le Mans 24 for the first time ever despite living in the UK for 12 years,
[02:48.640 -> 02:51.600] which is fraudulent. Then we're going to look at a little Canada preview,
[02:52.400 -> 02:56.240] a word from some of our friends. We got a little quiz that Dan has done for me this week.
[02:56.880 -> 03:00.560] Then we'll get into our predictions and at the end of the podcast, we're going to do our random
[03:00.560 -> 03:06.600] fandom draw where we get assigned a team at random to gas them up and be objective
[03:06.600 -> 03:07.680] and constructive about them.
[03:07.680 -> 03:10.680] Because we're not that biased just because Red Bull used to pay us doesn't mean that
[03:10.680 -> 03:14.200] we can't be honest about other teams as well.
[03:14.200 -> 03:18.720] So we have to take our bias hats off and give a report card on our team each at the end
[03:18.720 -> 03:19.720] of the podcast.
[03:19.720 -> 03:20.720] So stick around for that.
[03:20.720 -> 03:24.320] But we're going to we're going to pick our teams for Canada who will be talking about
[03:24.320 -> 03:25.320] in the follow-up
[03:25.320 -> 03:27.360] episode next Monday.
[03:27.360 -> 03:31.040] And if you're wondering, we do record these live on twitch.tv front slash break with three
[03:31.040 -> 03:32.040] hours.
[03:32.040 -> 03:36.160] But if you're missing, if you're watching this on YouTube, don't forget to hit that
[03:36.160 -> 03:37.160] subscribe button.
[03:37.160 -> 03:39.680] If you're on Spotify, leave us a five star review if you like it.
[03:39.680 -> 03:42.720] And if you hate it, tell us why you hate it.
[03:42.720 -> 03:44.200] It's okay if you hate me because I'm American.
[03:44.200 -> 03:47.720] I don't know about motorsport. It's fine. Yeah, no, it's true. He got a fucking clue what he's
[03:47.720 -> 03:52.200] talking about. Um, the only reason that he survived as long as he did work in F1 is because
[03:52.200 -> 03:56.200] he worked in the simulator and nobody could see him in the dark. So it's only when they
[03:56.200 -> 04:00.400] turn the lights on to paint and clean the floors and like, Oh fuck, Blake's been sat
[04:00.400 -> 04:06.160] in the corner there for six years. Yeah. Oh,, yeah, there as soon as I told them I wanted
[04:06.160 -> 04:09.760] to leave the track side job they're like all right you're dead to us screw you go into the bin I'm
[04:09.760 -> 04:16.960] like okay sorry guys. Anyway before we get too deep into as well uh Muchos apologies for the
[04:16.960 -> 04:23.280] slightly delayed release of this episode uh you have me to blame for that as I double booked myself
[04:23.280 -> 04:25.060] for dad duties.
[04:29.220 -> 04:33.020] And, uh, Blake, it's not necessarily his fault, but I'm going to throw him under the bus a little bit as well in that he managed to get lost in Paris on the way
[04:33.020 -> 04:33.380] home.
[04:34.040 -> 04:36.620] I was indeed in Paris.
[04:36.700 -> 04:41.700] Uh, we are, our flight got canceled from Paris on Sunday night, coming back from
[04:41.700 -> 04:43.100] Lamar, which we'll get into that in a second.
[04:43.100 -> 04:45.000] So, uh, talk to me.
[04:45.000 -> 04:46.000] What do we got on the news?
[04:46.000 -> 04:48.000] What do we got on the news, mate?
[04:48.000 -> 04:49.000] F1 news.
[04:49.000 -> 04:50.000] All right, Geyser.
[04:50.000 -> 04:51.000] Right.
[04:51.000 -> 04:52.000] So F1 news.
[04:52.000 -> 04:53.000] Oh, no.
[04:53.000 -> 04:54.000] Disaster.
[04:54.000 -> 04:55.000] My soundboard's not working.
[04:55.000 -> 04:56.000] Okay, we'll make it up as we go along.
[04:56.000 -> 04:57.000] Insert a toot toot there.
[04:57.000 -> 04:58.000] So tire wars apparently are back.
[04:58.000 -> 04:59.000] Ladies and gentlemen, there's some rumors that we may have a tire war.
[04:59.000 -> 05:00.000] So we're going to be talking about that.
[05:00.000 -> 05:01.000] We're going to be talking about that.
[05:01.000 -> 05:02.000] We're going to be talking about that.
[05:02.000 -> 05:03.000] We're going to be talking about that.
[05:03.000 -> 05:04.000] We're going to be talking about that.
[05:04.000 -> 05:06.880] We're going to be talking about that. We're going to be talking about that. We're going to be talking about that. We're going to be talking about that.. Insert a toot toot there. So tyre wars apparently are back,
[05:06.880 -> 05:15.040] ladies and gentlemen. There's some rumours that we may have a secondary entrant into the tyre
[05:15.040 -> 05:23.280] manufacturer list. The arena of tyre manufacturers, but we're not going to have a tyre war because the
[05:23.280 -> 05:25.200] current regulations, as far as I understand,
[05:25.200 -> 05:27.600] do not allow two tire suppliers.
[05:27.600 -> 05:32.120] So Bridgestone, Bridgestone have put their hat in the ring to say they would like to
[05:32.120 -> 05:38.760] be running for, I believe it's the 2025 tire supply, which is interesting.
[05:38.760 -> 05:41.280] And let's detour off of that.
[05:41.280 -> 05:53.520] So we've got Pirelli have won every Formula One world championship for how long now? It's been a minute. Yeah. So since Bridgestone was solo, but yeah,
[05:53.520 -> 05:59.840] the grooved slicks, God, please don't, don't talk about those disgusting. But so since 2011,
[05:59.840 -> 06:03.040] Pirelli had been the sole supplier. They've dominated Formula One, but Bridgestone are like,
[06:03.040 -> 06:08.300] you know what? We'd like to have a go. Michelin not interested, I think, unless there's competition, which is
[06:08.300 -> 06:13.160] interesting, but some people say that a tire war is bad for Formula One because
[06:13.460 -> 06:16.720] the 2005 U S Grand Prix, do you remember that one?
[06:18.200 -> 06:20.160] I don't remember watching it live.
[06:20.360 -> 06:25.720] Um, but I remember like what happened in the fallout after, if that makes sense.
[06:25.720 -> 06:28.760] So yeah, a quick, a quick backstory.
[06:28.760 -> 06:29.760] Run it before us.
[06:29.760 -> 06:36.920] So back in 2005, there were two tire suppliers, Ferrari, Jordan and Minardi.
[06:36.920 -> 06:40.280] They had Bridgestone, the Japanese manufacturer, and the other seven teams on the grid had
[06:40.280 -> 06:43.000] Michelin, the French time manufacturer.
[06:43.000 -> 06:44.680] It's the Indy Grand Prix.
[06:44.680 -> 06:45.440] So in the US Grand Prix in
[06:45.440 -> 06:51.040] Indianapolis, it's the road course, oval course. Ralph Schumacher crashes in free practice due to
[06:51.040 -> 06:56.400] a rear left failure, the high speed banked corner. There's the inside rear, which is interesting,
[06:56.400 -> 06:59.600] but that's what happens when you have the unloaded tire with weird stress on it.
[06:59.600 -> 07:05.000] He was injured. He was replaced by Ricardo Zonta, who also crashed in the exact same way with
[07:05.000 -> 07:06.980] the same failure mechanism.
[07:06.980 -> 07:11.680] So the there's a huge thing between the teams and the FIA and the rights holders.
[07:11.680 -> 07:13.000] And they're like, do we add a chicane?
[07:13.000 -> 07:18.440] Do we limit car speeds to this corner of this, that the others?
[07:18.440 -> 07:21.200] And yeah, there's a lot of back and forth and lots of shit.
[07:21.200 -> 07:27.280] And then and then they also talked about adding a chickeny, a chicane into that
[07:27.280 -> 07:32.800] to cut it down, but that would have meant that the circuit was no longer officially
[07:32.800 -> 07:33.800] the circuit.
[07:33.800 -> 07:35.640] So it wouldn't count towards the championship points.
[07:35.640 -> 07:37.680] There's all sorts of back and forth.
[07:37.680 -> 07:40.900] There's all sorts of back and forth.
[07:40.900 -> 07:47.700] So what happens on Sunday? All the cars take the grid. And then on the formation lap,
[07:47.700 -> 07:50.500] all 14 cars that were shot with
[07:50.500 -> 07:52.700] Michelin tires driven to the pit
[07:52.700 -> 07:54.000] lane and retired.
[07:55.200 -> 07:57.200] And I believe I believe Michelin
[07:57.200 -> 07:58.400] had issues the year before,
[07:58.400 -> 08:00.500] but people are saying,
[08:00.500 -> 08:01.900] oh, we can't have a tire war because
[08:01.900 -> 08:02.900] we'll have a repeat of this.
[08:02.900 -> 08:04.700] That was a Michelin fuck up.
[08:04.700 -> 08:10.880] Pirelli have had tire issues, huge tire issues in the past 10 years as well, which have
[08:10.880 -> 08:16.080] required huge changes to the operating conditions and everything else, which is not a problem
[08:16.080 -> 08:19.680] because they're the sole supplier. So if you bump up the pressure for 3 PSI for everybody
[08:19.680 -> 08:26.220] and the tires are slow as hell, everybody's slower and nobody any of the wiser. So yeah, the
[08:26.220 -> 08:34.480] next question I have for you. It is. Is it what is a tire? Is a tire war good for Formula
[08:34.480 -> 08:35.480] One?
[08:35.480 -> 08:45.280] I don't think it is. So I don't like
[08:45.800 -> 08:50.700] another element being thrown in which I know is quite amusing because I think we spoke about this last time and I said
[08:51.220 -> 08:55.500] when we compared IndyCar to F1 and I was like no no I don't want a spec series
[08:56.320 -> 08:58.700] And I don't want a spec series, but I want a spec tire
[09:00.040 -> 09:04.500] I'm just not overly convinced that sticking
[09:11.080 -> 09:12.680] another tire manufacturer in is going to help. I think it's, I don't know.
[09:12.680 -> 09:13.680] I mean, what do we have?
[09:13.680 -> 09:21.420] We had, uh, who is it that designed their tires pretty much specifically for Ferrari
[09:21.420 -> 09:23.100] and basically fuck everyone else.
[09:23.100 -> 09:24.100] Was it Michelin?
[09:24.100 -> 09:27.040] It was Bridgestone. Bridgestone. Okay yeah. No, it was Bridgestone, basically. We're only
[09:27.040 -> 09:29.040] designing tires for Ferrari, fuck everyone else.
[09:29.680 -> 09:31.040] Yeah, I mean they had tires on...
[09:31.040 -> 09:32.160] I don't want to have a situation like that.
[09:32.160 -> 09:37.760] They had tires on Minardi and Jordan. And that was a Jordan podium, and I believe
[09:37.760 -> 09:42.080] that was Schumacher's only win of 05, wasn't it? Is that correct? I believe that's correct.
[09:42.080 -> 09:44.960] Why not? Sure. Who's going to check? No one's going to check.
[09:44.960 -> 09:45.100] Nobody's going to check.
[09:45.100 -> 09:45.860] Nobody's going to check.
[09:45.860 -> 09:46.980] This is fully fraudulent.
[09:46.980 -> 09:50.300] So I don't think a tire war is good either for the same reason.
[09:50.300 -> 09:54.340] Like it just basically adds another variable performance differentiator.
[09:54.580 -> 09:56.260] And it's something that doesn't really add to the show.
[09:56.260 -> 09:58.180] It's like, if everybody has the same tires, great.
[09:58.300 -> 10:00.460] If everybody had the same gearboxes, great.
[10:00.760 -> 10:05.720] I mean, like, I feel like the fact that we're shrinking down so much development on certain
[10:05.720 -> 10:11.040] areas, adding a tire manufacturer war just goes completely against all that. You know,
[10:11.040 -> 10:14.560] we simplified the suspension, we've got rid of the inertia dampers, the inerters or J
[10:14.560 -> 10:20.800] dampers or whatever, all sorts of stuff. I don't think it's the right thing to do. And
[10:20.800 -> 10:24.320] I don't think it fixes anything. I think it just adds another narrative and talking point.
[10:24.320 -> 10:25.040] But we got plenty of narratives like George Russell saying that some drivers don't think it fixes anything. I think it just adds another narrative and talking point, but we got plenty of
[10:25.040 -> 10:28.560] narratives like George Russell saying that some drivers don't have any awareness.
[10:30.440 -> 10:33.840] Jesus pot kettle black.
[10:34.000 -> 10:35.240] What was he thinking?
[10:37.640 -> 10:41.400] But anyway, uh, next, next point.
[10:42.840 -> 10:43.680] In the news.
[10:44.200 -> 10:47.680] We've, we've heard some rumors that the German
[10:47.680 -> 10:53.560] manufacturer Audi might not be ready for 2026 what do we what do we know about
[10:53.560 -> 10:58.040] that I keep seeing that on Twitter and I think you you dug into that one yeah so
[10:58.040 -> 11:05.440] basically where are we at Audi's first full hybrid unit so basically that's the combustion engine,
[11:05.440 -> 11:10.480] electric motor, battery, ECU, is not scheduled to start running on the dyno
[11:10.480 -> 11:13.560] until the end of this year. Now I know what you're thinking, you're probably thinking
[11:13.560 -> 11:18.080] well it's what is it 2023? Does it come in until 2026? What does it matter?
[11:18.080 -> 11:21.920] Well it kind of does matter because apparently Ferrari have already started
[11:21.920 -> 11:29.960] this work a few weeks ago which would put Audi behind by about six to eight months so not a great start there for
[11:29.960 -> 11:35.280] Audi they got some leniency obviously you know yeah actually you know what I'm
[11:35.280 -> 11:37.920] going back on that I haven't got any fucking leniency at all because they did
[11:37.920 -> 11:42.600] all the Porsche engine and all that didn't they for Le Mans which is similar
[11:42.600 -> 11:48.360] so no you don't get a pass from me I've changed my mind
[11:48.360 -> 11:54.720] you know we know their dynos are yet to be bought up to the current F1 standards
[11:54.720 -> 11:58.960] but they should be able to catch up because as a new engine supplier they
[11:58.960 -> 12:04.660] are allowed to spend 10 million dollars more than everyone else in 2023 so this
[12:04.660 -> 12:09.200] year 2024 and then it drops down to 5 million in 2025.
[12:09.200 -> 12:10.440] So they've got some money to catch up.
[12:11.000 -> 12:15.720] And that's an interesting, I could be miss speaking, but isn't that the thing?
[12:15.720 -> 12:20.560] Why Red Bull powertrains also got that additional budget allowance as well,
[12:20.560 -> 12:25.360] because it's a new entry despite licensing some of the technology or
[12:25.360 -> 12:28.920] for the previous engine, like they've got a headstart. Is that, is that the case or
[12:28.920 -> 12:33.040] not? I do not know. I can't remember off the top of my head, but I remember reading somewhere
[12:33.040 -> 12:36.920] that Red Bull may have lost that because it was determined that really it was just a Henry
[12:36.920 -> 12:43.240] Kenner engine. Okay. Okay. But yeah, interesting. I'm not checking that live, but I remember
[12:43.240 -> 12:48.240] something like that. What I think we need to do is maybe we have a little roundup of the engine wars
[12:48.240 -> 12:51.720] incoming, because I feel like it's a little bit far off and I've wanted to do some content
[12:51.720 -> 12:56.240] about the new the new engines, but it's just it's not people aren't that interested in
[12:56.240 -> 12:57.240] it.
[12:57.240 -> 13:00.040] And for right now, we can throw everybody under the bus and say Audi are maybe a little
[13:00.040 -> 13:02.280] bit behind everybody else.
[13:02.280 -> 13:03.280] So yeah.
[13:03.280 -> 13:08.400] I think you. Yeah, I think they're not happy with
[13:08.400 -> 13:09.400] the progress.
[13:09.400 -> 13:12.720] Yeah. I wasn't leaving you hanging there. I just pressed the wrong button on my soundboard.
[13:12.720 -> 13:18.520] I don't know what's going on. What a disaster. Anyway. Um, sorry. Yes. And apparently, uh,
[13:18.520 -> 13:23.060] rumors swirling around that the Audi board, uh, are pretty pissed off with the progress
[13:23.060 -> 13:27.560] so far and they've been a little bit outspoken to people in German media about it.
[13:27.560 -> 13:32.000] So yikes drama already before they even officially hit the grid.
[13:32.560 -> 13:33.060] Yeah.
[13:33.280 -> 13:33.780] Salba.
[13:34.040 -> 13:35.840] No, no Salba.
[13:35.960 -> 13:37.400] Another year in the mud.
[13:38.000 -> 13:42.840] Let's, um, let's change gears real quick to talk about the Le Mans 24 hour,
[13:42.880 -> 13:48.120] because this was my first time to go to the event and I was completely blown away. And I've got a couple of, I'm going
[13:48.120 -> 13:53.360] to start with a couple outlandish statements. Here's the first one. I know I did pay to
[13:53.360 -> 13:57.760] fly to the U S to go to the U S Grand Prix last year, which was the first U S the first
[13:57.760 -> 14:02.720] formula one race that I've ever been to as a spectator. I've done, I think 120 races
[14:02.720 -> 14:05.160] as an engineer at the track, but I've never been to a Grand
[14:05.160 -> 14:06.320] Prix as a spectator.
[14:06.320 -> 14:08.320] And that was my first go of it.
[14:08.320 -> 14:10.600] And I really enjoyed it.
[14:10.600 -> 14:12.400] It was expensive.
[14:12.400 -> 14:13.400] It was crowded.
[14:13.400 -> 14:17.960] Tickets, I got tickets super cheap and other people weren't so lucky and getting grand
[14:17.960 -> 14:22.520] stands would have been very, very expensive.
[14:22.520 -> 14:29.480] It was fun. And then I flew over to France and went to the Le Mans 24.
[14:29.480 -> 14:35.620] And I had my mind blown about how amazing that racing event was, especially as somebody
[14:35.620 -> 14:38.840] that doesn't really know a whole lot about endurance racing.
[14:38.840 -> 14:41.880] Yet, I found the whole thing I was fortunate.
[14:41.880 -> 14:50.480] So if you remember a couple episodes ago, we had our buddy, on the show, he spent a couple of years in endurance racing. So basically,
[14:51.120 -> 14:57.520] I just annoyed the living shit out of him for 24 hours talking about race cars. And it was,
[14:57.520 -> 15:04.080] it was insane. Just there's so much stuff going on. But I really think as a product,
[15:04.080 -> 15:05.800] now that we have the hyper car class,
[15:05.800 -> 15:08.240] endurance racing and WEC and IMSA
[15:08.240 -> 15:09.880] and all the other European Le Mans series
[15:09.880 -> 15:12.680] and all that are gonna be super, super interesting.
[15:12.680 -> 15:15.560] And if you're not involved in that, check it out.
[15:16.480 -> 15:18.120] And I think I'm gonna do some,
[15:18.120 -> 15:20.420] start doing some tech and performance analysis on WEC
[15:20.420 -> 15:22.600] because we can just keep rinse repeating
[15:22.600 -> 15:23.520] the same boring shit.
[15:23.520 -> 15:25.480] Like, hey, Red Bull's a lot faster than anybody else.
[15:25.480 -> 15:27.360] Or we can expand our horizons a little bit.
[15:27.360 -> 15:31.640] And I would love to share some of that tech and analysis and insight with you guys.
[15:31.960 -> 15:35.600] And I happen to have a couple of friends in the space that can help fact check me
[15:35.600 -> 15:38.680] and keep me in line and keep you guys informed.
[15:38.720 -> 15:41.520] But, uh, I think that's super exciting.
[15:41.520 -> 15:42.720] So I've got a question.
[15:44.000 -> 15:44.720] I've got a question.
[15:45.480 -> 15:45.500] The triple crown. I think that's super exciting. So I've got a question. I've got a question for it.
[15:47.040 -> 15:47.060] The Triple Crown.
[15:48.720 -> 15:48.740] If you're not familiar with the Triple Crown,
[15:53.160 -> 15:54.720] that is winning three very prestigious events. It's the Indy 500,
[15:55.400 -> 15:59.220] the Monaco Grand Prix and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
[16:01.000 -> 16:03.920] One of these to me is not like the others.
[16:05.320 -> 16:06.960] And there's two of them that are like the others.
[16:06.960 -> 16:12.640] I feel like now why the fuck is Monaco Grand Prix on that list?
[16:12.640 -> 16:15.360] That was my that was going to be my choice.
[16:15.360 -> 16:15.880] Why?
[16:15.880 -> 16:16.560] Why?
[16:16.560 -> 16:18.360] Why is the Monaco Grand Prix on that list?
[16:18.360 -> 16:21.160] Maybe before, maybe before it makes sense.
[16:21.160 -> 16:26.420] But right now, like the current modern state of the Monaco Grand Prix, it's
[16:26.420 -> 16:27.480] another Formula One race.
[16:27.480 -> 16:28.880] There's nothing exciting about it.
[16:28.880 -> 16:30.680] It's literally only hype.
[16:30.920 -> 16:31.640] It's not good.
[16:32.140 -> 16:33.740] It's not even a spectacular race.
[16:33.740 -> 16:36.000] All you have to do is qualify and not fuck up your strategy.
[16:36.220 -> 16:39.120] Monaco is, you know, like, don't get me wrong.
[16:39.120 -> 16:40.080] It's a cool race.
[16:40.280 -> 16:43.920] I'd be as bold as to say that if we remove the Monaco and make it an
[16:43.920 -> 16:46.360] entire F1 championship, so you have make it an entire F1 championship.
[16:46.360 -> 16:55.720] So you have to have an entire F1 championship, a Le Mans 24 win, and an Indy 500 win.
[16:55.720 -> 16:56.920] I would, I would take that.
[16:56.920 -> 17:04.440] But like Monaco now, the cars are insanely reliable, so you don't have like lots of attrition.
[17:04.440 -> 17:05.480] You can't overtake.
[17:05.480 -> 17:06.480] There's no racing.
[17:06.480 -> 17:08.160] It's like it's just like it's not a shit.
[17:08.160 -> 17:12.440] It's not a shit on the Monaco Grand Prix, but it is kind of.
[17:12.440 -> 17:17.480] Very easy for me and you to sit here in our offices talking into our microphone saying
[17:17.480 -> 17:21.040] that Monaco is fucking overrated, isn't it?
[17:21.040 -> 17:24.560] You know, both sitting here as if we wouldn't jump at the fucking chance to go out on a
[17:24.560 -> 17:31.200] yacht in Monaco if we were invited. That's us. We are the sellouts. Um, but yeah, I don't
[17:31.200 -> 17:35.560] know. It's weird, isn't it? It's like the Monaco is the standout one because even like
[17:35.560 -> 17:41.960] now in terms of a season in F1, like limited to F1, Monaco is just another race now really,
[17:41.960 -> 17:42.960] isn't it?
[17:42.960 -> 17:45.800] It is. It is literally like my first season in it.
[17:45.800 -> 17:47.800] And I'm in 2012.
[17:47.800 -> 17:50.300] It was my first season in Monaco is my second race because I started
[17:50.300 -> 17:51.600] slightly late that season.
[17:51.600 -> 17:53.700] I was like, okay, this is really cool.
[17:53.700 -> 17:57.300] And like, I understand why this is historically interesting, but
[17:57.300 -> 17:59.700] it's literally another Grand Prix.
[17:59.700 -> 18:02.000] It's just like it's just another Formula One race race.
[18:02.000 -> 18:03.500] The Le Mans 24-hour.
[18:03.500 -> 18:06.160] Holy shit. The Indy 500,
[18:07.280 -> 18:12.480] another holy shit. I get winning Monaco is super hard because you have to have basically the
[18:12.480 -> 18:17.200] fastest car or get lucky in qualifying with weather or something else. But otherwise,
[18:18.000 -> 18:22.160] fastest car driver with the least self-preservation that can keep it out of the barriers will win.
[18:22.160 -> 18:28.640] But I feel like that's a lot of tracks. That's a lot of that's, that's Baku, that's Singapore, that's the street circuits in
[18:28.640 -> 18:34.640] general. So I don't know. I don't know. I'm not too crazy, but let's talk about a couple of lines
[18:34.640 -> 18:39.760] from the Le Mans 24. And this is me not as a endurance racing expert. This is me as a,
[18:40.400 -> 18:49.540] a newly converted, soon to be full fucking enthusiast of the sport.
[18:49.540 -> 18:56.340] That being said, one of the most influential documentary films in me wanting to be in motorsport
[18:56.340 -> 19:00.140] was the Truth in 24, which I believe was 2008.
[19:00.140 -> 19:06.560] Audi's covering basically the lead up to Audi's fight for the 24 win.
[19:06.560 -> 19:08.040] And it was it was so cool.
[19:08.040 -> 19:09.000] It's such a great film.
[19:09.000 -> 19:11.080] If you haven't watched the truth in 24, watch it.
[19:11.080 -> 19:13.000] And there's a second one as well.
[19:13.000 -> 19:14.320] Go watch both of those films.
[19:14.320 -> 19:16.560] If you want a reason to get excited, watch that.
[19:16.680 -> 19:18.840] Pretty sure they're both free on YouTube.
[19:19.240 -> 19:20.040] They are. They are.
[19:20.040 -> 19:21.320] So let's go.
[19:21.320 -> 19:27.280] But the event, there's a couple there's's a couple threads that are worth talking about.
[19:27.280 -> 19:33.840] Ferrari won a championship or they won a race, which is one of the most prestigious races.
[19:33.840 -> 19:38.000] Will any of those drivers have a chance at the triple crown?
[19:38.000 -> 19:39.640] I don't, I don't, I don't know.
[19:39.640 -> 19:40.640] I don't see James.
[19:40.640 -> 19:45.400] I don't see James Colato or Giovinazzi, uh, back in F1 car.
[19:45.400 -> 19:50.600] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[19:50.600 -> 19:53.600] no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[19:53.600 -> 19:54.600] no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[19:54.600 -> 19:55.600] no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[19:55.600 -> 19:56.600] no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[19:56.600 -> 19:57.600] no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[19:57.600 -> 19:58.600] no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[19:58.600 -> 19:59.600] no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[19:59.600 -> 20:09.080] no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's yeah. Cause I, I rec, I, or one day I'm going to see if he needs an engineer for the 24 and
[20:09.080 -> 20:14.360] I'll go start working on some pizzas to learn the ropes, but we'll, we'll link up again.
[20:14.360 -> 20:17.640] You say that talk to me again, completely off topic now.
[20:17.640 -> 20:22.320] Well, they haven't technically ditched LMP2 from Le Mans.
[20:22.320 -> 20:26.880] They've got a number of special places for it next year, but LMP2 is being
[20:26.880 -> 20:28.520] removed from the WEC season.
[20:28.520 -> 20:29.520] That is correct.
[20:29.520 -> 20:37.120] And being replaced with, I've forgotten already. It wasn't LMP3 was it? Maybe it was LMP3,
[20:37.120 -> 20:38.120] I can't remember.
[20:38.120 -> 20:45.200] No, I think, I think most of the WEC, correct me if I'm wrong, it's going to be GT3 and hyper car will be wack. And then for
[20:45.200 -> 20:52.280] and then for the 24 hour, the P2s will be back in for the special event. But the P2s
[20:52.280 -> 20:59.120] will still race at European Le Mans series and Asian Le Mans series, I believe. So I
[20:59.120 -> 21:02.440] think that's my rough understanding of it. And this is super interesting. And there's
[21:02.440 -> 21:08.480] a lot going on. And I'm going to start doing some content on it because I want to learn. I'm going to share. And yeah, and
[21:08.480 -> 21:12.320] IMSA as well. Yeah, we're going to Le Mans next year, aren't we? We've decided privately
[21:12.320 -> 21:19.040] it's happening. It's happening, but we are going. Did you see what's the guy's name?
[21:19.040 -> 21:23.000] Fabio Scherer, who was one of the winners in the P2, one of the drivers for the winning
[21:23.000 -> 21:29.080] P2 car. Yes, success. He managed to have his foot run over in the pit lane by a
[21:29.960 -> 21:36.200] Corvette GT car and basically spent the rest like what, another 12 hours
[21:36.200 -> 21:38.840] or whatever was left, basically hopping around.
[21:38.880 -> 21:42.400] And yeah, what a what a what a champ.
[21:43.720 -> 21:46.280] Broke his foot and finished.
[21:46.280 -> 21:47.800] You saw him doing the driver changes.
[21:47.800 -> 21:51.880] He's literally hopping on one leg, hobbling out to the pit lane to get back in the car.
[21:51.880 -> 21:55.240] The doctors got him sorted, suited, booted, and sent it.
[21:55.240 -> 21:56.240] That was super cool.
[21:56.240 -> 22:01.040] But here's what I was really happy about, and I felt a little bit patriotic at the 24
[22:01.040 -> 22:03.360] Hours of Le Mans.
[22:03.360 -> 22:05.300] The American presence was pretty cool.
[22:05.300 -> 22:07.420] So there's two, three instances really
[22:07.420 -> 22:08.620] that were stood out to me.
[22:08.620 -> 22:11.220] One, obviously the Corvette taking,
[22:11.220 -> 22:13.780] I believe their ninth Le Mans win with the,
[22:13.780 -> 22:16.580] was it the C8R, fucking fantastic.
[22:16.580 -> 22:19.500] But I think something that even overshadowed that,
[22:19.500 -> 22:22.660] despite the fact that it was the innovative category,
[22:22.660 -> 22:24.220] which is not regulated,
[22:25.560 -> 22:29.300] and it's basically an exhibition class, and they come and they try to compete.
[22:29.300 -> 22:33.100] They took a NASCAR cup car and they spent some time adapting it.
[22:33.100 -> 22:34.760] They went to carbon carbon brakes.
[22:34.760 -> 22:37.160] They changed part of the rear crush structure.
[22:37.160 -> 22:38.580] They saved a lot of weight.
[22:38.580 -> 22:39.580] They didn't have power restrictions.
[22:39.580 -> 22:41.620] They had some more arrow bits on it.
[22:41.620 -> 22:44.360] I'm sure they changed the fuel cell a little bit as well.
[22:44.360 -> 22:45.480] This thing was fucking insane.
[22:45.480 -> 22:46.520] It was driven by
[22:47.560 -> 22:48.920] my Rockefeller.
[22:48.960 -> 22:49.280] Yeah.
[22:49.320 -> 22:52.680] Jimmy Johnson, NASCAR driver and Jensen Button.
[22:52.720 -> 22:53.040] Yeah.
[22:53.400 -> 22:55.240] What a what a fucking legend.
[22:55.560 -> 22:56.080] That car.
[22:57.760 -> 22:59.520] Yeah, I still get emotional about it.
[22:59.520 -> 23:01.600] I put some videos on Twitter of it going by.
[23:01.920 -> 23:03.680] It just sounded fucking amazing.
[23:03.720 -> 23:04.600] Oh, my God.
[23:04.640 -> 23:06.320] Every time I saw it. And they
[23:06.320 -> 23:13.200] finished a couple laps down, but I mean, okay, they didn't have regulations that were comparable
[23:13.200 -> 23:20.560] to the GTE LMGT class. So that was the GT class. But I mean, the thing was fast and it was outright
[23:20.560 -> 23:27.960] faster than those cars. It had more power, less regulations, whatever, but it was still like, it made me proud to be American,
[23:27.960 -> 23:30.200] even though I don't really consume much NASCAR content
[23:30.200 -> 23:31.680] because I just don't have time.
[23:31.680 -> 23:33.680] But the other one was the Cadillac.
[23:33.680 -> 23:35.080] The Cadillac was spectacular.
[23:35.080 -> 23:38.480] They got P3, P4 in the hypercar class,
[23:38.480 -> 23:40.080] and I think sounded fucking stunning.
[23:40.080 -> 23:42.840] It would leave the pit lane on the battery,
[23:42.840 -> 23:46.480] and then it would basically bump start straight into the
[23:46.720 -> 23:49.760] roaring, disgusting V8 sound.
[23:49.760 -> 23:50.280] It was.
[23:50.920 -> 23:52.040] Oh, it was insane.
[23:52.040 -> 23:52.520] I loved it.
[23:52.520 -> 23:53.960] I loved every second of that race.
[23:53.960 -> 23:55.000] I can't wait to go back.
[23:55.000 -> 23:57.400] I met quite a few people that hadn't seen in a while.
[23:57.720 -> 24:01.240] I missed running into quite a few people, so my God, I'm
[24:01.400 -> 24:02.680] I'm just so excited for this.
[24:03.680 -> 24:05.080] I'm more excited for this than.
[24:05.800 -> 24:06.960] The Canadian Grand Prix.
[24:07.680 -> 24:09.280] Oh geez, it's happening.
[24:11.600 -> 24:12.320] I hate it here.
[24:12.760 -> 24:13.600] I hate it here, but.
[24:15.760 -> 24:17.480] Spectacular them spectacular event.
[24:17.480 -> 24:21.360] If you if you're not interested in endurance racing, come join us.
[24:21.880 -> 24:22.440] Come join us.
[24:22.440 -> 24:23.560] We're totally hooked in.
[24:24.160 -> 24:24.720] But yeah.
[24:25.440 -> 24:27.520] What was there anything else from Lamar?
[24:29.080 -> 24:30.720] I mean, probably.
[24:32.600 -> 24:36.360] Watching everyone spin off and when it started raining was quite.
[24:37.040 -> 24:37.960] Quite amusing.
[24:39.120 -> 24:40.800] Yeah, no, it's just it was good times around.
[24:40.800 -> 24:41.640] How busy was it there?
[24:41.640 -> 24:46.400] Because I it was it was slammed, but it was it was slammed, but it was, it was slammed, but it wasn't like.
[24:47.100 -> 24:47.900] That terrible.
[24:47.900 -> 24:50.560] Like we've always found places to stand and watch.
[24:50.560 -> 24:52.800] We stand and stood at Ted Rouge a couple of times.
[24:52.800 -> 24:54.080] We stood at the top of Dunlop.
[24:54.440 -> 24:56.000] We went down to Arnaz at night.
[24:56.240 -> 25:00.700] Uh, it was, it was, it was packed and it was insane, but here's, here's an example.
[25:00.720 -> 25:05.000] I was in the area between the paddock going to.
[25:06.040 -> 25:09.040] Other grandstand seats, so this is just for any punters can go,
[25:09.440 -> 25:12.240] and between that is the place where the drivers walk to
[25:13.520 -> 25:16.480] the motorhomes and stuff, and I was standing there going to the grandstands
[25:16.480 -> 25:19.400] and when he walks out, who I'm good buddies with,
[25:20.000 -> 25:23.920] and I was able to catch him, say hi, chat with him for five minutes
[25:23.920 -> 25:25.480] or something, three or four minutes at least.
[25:26.000 -> 25:31.040] And one person came up and was like, hey, and this guy wasn't like, hey, let me grab
[25:31.040 -> 25:32.840] your photo, grabbing him and shit like that.
[25:33.280 -> 25:36.560] He was like, uh, he said in French, good luck, Mr.
[25:36.560 -> 25:36.920] Blimey.
[25:37.320 -> 25:38.320] And I was like, and that was it.
[25:38.320 -> 25:41.640] And he just gave him a thumbs up and like, it was, it was respectful.
[25:41.640 -> 25:43.280] I, I got to, I ran into a kid yet.
[25:43.480 -> 25:44.680] I hadn't seen him in a while.
[25:45.160 -> 25:47.120] Um, he had, he had an unlucky final
[25:47.120 -> 25:49.020] stint or late in the night.
[25:49.020 -> 25:50.860] I think he crashed out quite hard
[25:50.860 -> 25:52.340] and he was he was pretty bummed
[25:52.340 -> 25:55.100] out about that, but that's racing.
[25:55.100 -> 25:56.180] But it was it was different,
[25:56.180 -> 25:57.340] though, like in the environment
[25:57.340 -> 25:59.200] was different and if it was F1,
[25:59.200 -> 26:01.340] I don't think the majority of the fans
[26:01.340 -> 26:04.860] would have that much respect for the people.
[26:04.860 -> 26:08.080] I even felt bad harassing Seb, I know him.
[26:09.680 -> 26:10.400] But it was fun.
[26:10.960 -> 26:13.520] But we missed probably the most important thing of all.
[26:15.200 -> 26:16.880] Ferrari won a fucking race.
[26:17.840 -> 26:20.960] They did, but does that mean?
[26:23.680 -> 26:24.240] I don't know.
[26:21.440 -> 26:23.760] Does that mean?
[26:24.680 -> 26:26.080] I don't know.
[26:27.160 -> 26:29.400] Nah, it's not. If you're wondering that the wager that Dan
[26:29.400 -> 26:31.960] met was if Ferrari win the drivers
[26:31.960 -> 26:33.400] or constructors championship,
[26:33.400 -> 26:35.240] which was implied in Formula One,
[26:35.280 -> 26:36.000] we would.
[26:36.480 -> 26:40.480] Panda drive to Marinello with hand
[26:40.760 -> 26:42.760] written, but like at least maybe now
[26:42.760 -> 26:43.840] if we do the Panda trip,
[26:43.840 -> 26:44.880] there's a reason to do it.
[26:44.880 -> 26:45.440] Yeah, where's where reason to do it.
[26:45.440 -> 26:46.440] Yeah.
[26:46.440 -> 26:50.560] Where's where's it technically it's run by a, was it a, of course, where are they based?
[26:50.560 -> 26:51.560] Silverstone.
[26:51.560 -> 26:52.560] Oh, there you go.
[26:52.560 -> 26:53.560] Then we got up there.
[26:53.560 -> 26:57.800] We're taking a trip to Silverstone instead.
[26:57.800 -> 26:59.680] It's like 25 minutes from my house.
[26:59.680 -> 27:00.680] Uh, ciao.
[27:00.680 -> 27:03.240] I of course, uh, I want to do, here's a cool story.
[27:03.240 -> 27:09.640] Um, one of the, my, the, my mechanics, one of the mechanics on Max's car, Oscar, was the number one for
[27:09.640 -> 27:10.960] the winning car.
[27:10.960 -> 27:13.120] And I was stood in the grandstands, right?
[27:13.120 -> 27:15.600] And he was just down below us.
[27:15.600 -> 27:17.760] And he was getting fucking emotional.
[27:17.760 -> 27:21.040] I got tears in my eyes watching him so happy.
[27:21.040 -> 27:23.440] It was a beautiful thing, man.
[27:23.440 -> 27:27.200] Oscar is a fucking legend, but congratulations to FRA and F Corsa
[27:27.200 -> 27:30.800] for the 24 hours of Le Mans outright win.
[27:30.800 -> 27:33.900] Yeah, that was 100 years anniversary.
[27:33.900 -> 27:35.300] 50 years since they've been in it.
[27:35.700 -> 27:39.600] Yeah, we got super pizza on on pole,
[27:39.600 -> 27:41.300] not pole, sorry on the podium.
[27:41.300 -> 27:42.600] Polish is Polish.
[27:42.600 -> 27:46.600] I got the pole on podium podium in a P2.
[27:46.640 -> 27:48.720] Robert Kibitzer nation rise up.
[27:48.760 -> 27:49.680] Now is your time.
[27:50.160 -> 27:50.560] Go on.
[27:50.560 -> 27:51.200] My dad was cool.
[27:51.200 -> 27:51.920] I love him.
[27:52.800 -> 27:54.440] Yeah, that was, that was super cool.
[27:55.680 -> 27:57.040] I want to go back to that event.
[27:57.040 -> 28:01.160] I want to, I want to go to, hopefully I can sneak in another WEC race this year.
[28:01.600 -> 28:06.560] Uh, I'm trying to get my ass out to the 24 hours of spa and a couple weeks a month from now, roughly.
[28:07.840 -> 28:10.560] It's a yeah, I'm looking forward to that.
[28:10.560 -> 28:12.880] So fingers crossed where I'm getting I'm getting somewhere.
[28:12.920 -> 28:13.960] I'm getting somewhere.
[28:13.960 -> 28:16.520] But. Congrats to Ferrari.
[28:17.680 -> 28:20.040] Toyota, not too happy with the BOP changes.
[28:20.520 -> 28:26.000] They came P2, the number eight car with Bwemi, Harley and Rion.
[28:26.000 -> 28:29.000] Is it Hirakawa? I apologize if I butchered his name.
[28:29.000 -> 28:32.000] I'm sorry, I didn't pay that much attention to it either.
[28:32.000 -> 28:36.000] Yeah, but very cool. Very cool.
[28:36.000 -> 28:39.000] Let's go. Let's go talk about...
[28:39.000 -> 28:42.000] Before we get into that, do you want to say hi to our friends real quick?
[28:42.000 -> 28:44.000] Is it time for that?
[28:44.000 -> 28:45.160] Sure, why not? Before we get into that, do you want to say hi to our friends real quick? Is it time for that? Sure.
[28:45.160 -> 28:45.760] Why not?
[28:45.800 -> 28:49.880] Now, uh, we will quickly try this button press to see if it works.
[28:51.280 -> 28:51.560] Nope.
[28:51.560 -> 28:54.160] It's just sitting at me blanking and flashing at me.
[28:54.160 -> 28:54.880] So well done.
[28:54.920 -> 28:55.280] Right.
[28:55.360 -> 28:57.800] Well, what we'll do is we will plug it.
[28:58.080 -> 28:58.960] We'll plug it in.
[28:59.560 -> 29:00.720] Are you going to plug it into you to wing it?
[29:01.320 -> 29:01.880] We'll wing it.
[29:02.520 -> 29:02.840] Gone.
[29:03.560 -> 29:04.960] Uh, hello, ladies and gentlemen.

[30:13.100 -> 30:14.220] Let me just test this button.
[30:14.860 -> 30:15.700] So that one works.
[30:15.700 -> 30:16.440] Why does that work?
[30:16.440 -> 30:17.540] And nothing else works.
[30:18.000 -> 30:18.480] It's fine.
[30:18.580 -> 30:18.940] It's fine.
[30:18.940 -> 30:24.780] We'll figure it out later, but anyway, let's get into the Canadian Grand Prix preview.
[30:26.120 -> 30:27.760] It's a, it's a pretty cool track, honestly, get into the Canadian Grand Prix preview. It's a it's a pretty cool track.
[30:27.760 -> 30:31.920] Honestly, Montreal, the Canadian Grand Prix is probably one of my favorite race events
[30:31.920 -> 30:35.700] to attend as an engineer, but also for the nightlife.
[30:35.700 -> 30:36.700] It's a great place.
[30:36.700 -> 30:37.700] It's a really awesome city.
[30:37.700 -> 30:41.040] Good, lovely people, good food, good drinks.
[30:41.040 -> 30:43.080] Yeah, it's awesome.
[30:43.080 -> 30:45.000] The circuit's not too far away from downtown Montreal. But yeah, what do we what do we know about the track? Dan, talk's awesome. The circuit's not too far away from downtown Montreal.
[30:45.000 -> 30:48.000] But yeah, what do we know about the track, Dan? Talk to me.
[30:48.000 -> 30:51.000] Listen, I will tell you all about the track.
[30:51.000 -> 30:53.000] It was first raced, right?
[30:53.000 -> 30:54.000] I'll tell you all about it.
[30:54.000 -> 30:56.000] It was first raced in 1978.
[30:56.000 -> 31:00.000] It's a 4.3 kilometer lap and it's a 70 lap race.
[31:00.000 -> 31:08.000] The lap record is 1 minute 13.078, which is held by Valtteri Bottas in 2019.
[31:08.000 -> 31:10.440] So back when he was still at Mercedes.
[31:10.440 -> 31:11.440] Yeah.
[31:11.440 -> 31:14.560] And this is one of those, this is one of those, is it a street circuit or is it not?
[31:14.560 -> 31:17.160] Yeah, it's a bit of a weird one, isn't it?
[31:17.160 -> 31:18.160] Is it or is it not?
[31:18.160 -> 31:26.060] But like the circuit is not used very regularly, most popularly for the Formula One Grand Prix, but it's basically a lot of
[31:26.060 -> 31:34.460] low to medium speed chicanes, a couple hairpins and a big emphasis on top speed and traction.
[31:34.460 -> 31:39.460] But it's also still a pretty tricky track and it's often wet here. Last year in qualifying
[31:39.460 -> 31:47.440] we had Alonso and Albin with P2 Verstappen on pole. And then we had a dry race with Verstappen, when signs P2 and a Mercedes 3, 4.
[31:47.440 -> 31:49.240] And that was the kind that was the time last season.
[31:49.240 -> 31:50.640] We're like, oh, Mercedes back.
[31:51.040 -> 31:53.400] They weren't back there about half a percent off the entire season.
[31:53.400 -> 32:00.240] So, well, good news is that the last time I checked, there was a 50, 50% chance of
[32:00.240 -> 32:04.760] rain on a Saturday and Sunday, which I think is their way of saying we've got no
[32:04.760 -> 32:06.080] fucking idea.
[32:06.080 -> 32:07.080] Yeah, definitely.
[32:07.080 -> 32:11.720] Yeah, metio not a chance on the weather surface that everybody uses.
[32:11.720 -> 32:12.720] But yeah, we're not sure.
[32:12.720 -> 32:13.720] Fuck it, maybe.
[32:13.720 -> 32:18.480] Yeah, but in terms of the tires they're bringing to the race, it's going to be the same softest
[32:18.480 -> 32:20.000] end of the compound range.
[32:20.000 -> 32:21.480] C3, C4, C5.
[32:21.480 -> 32:25.480] Those are your hard, medium and soft.
[32:25.920 -> 32:27.740] Um, what do you reckon?
[32:27.740 -> 32:27.920] Yeah.
[32:27.960 -> 32:31.480] C5 will probably just be a qualifying tire because last year during the race,
[32:31.840 -> 32:33.040] we had mixed two stops.
[32:33.040 -> 32:35.660] We had medium, hard, medium and medium, hard, hard races.
[32:35.660 -> 32:37.680] So yeah, no one talks to soft in the race.
[32:38.120 -> 32:38.980] No, not at all.
[32:39.000 -> 32:41.560] Um, so yeah, dog water.
[32:42.280 -> 32:43.360] Yeah, exactly.
[32:43.360 -> 32:46.000] So it'll be some variation of that. I think your front
[32:46.000 -> 32:49.960] runners will probably start on a medium and see how they go on that and run hard for a
[32:49.960 -> 32:58.200] bit. But if it's wet, hey, now, yeah. Now, one thing we let's talk about who who were
[32:58.200 -> 33:02.760] we looking out for this weekend? We'll get to our predictions later, but I'm thinking
[33:02.760 -> 33:06.660] Red Bull. Good shout for Paul and a good race Ferrari.
[33:07.400 -> 33:09.980] I think possibly up in the mix as well.
[33:11.020 -> 33:15.040] Mercedes and Aston, um, less favorable of because of the top
[33:15.040 -> 33:16.480] speed requirement of this track.
[33:17.440 -> 33:21.400] But I, yeah, I think we could see Ferrari shooting for Paul.
[33:21.400 -> 33:25.200] Well, you know, listen, I've only been saying it for the last
[33:25.200 -> 33:30.920] seven races but hey guess what? Master Martin are bringing upgrades to this race.
[33:30.920 -> 33:38.580] This could be this could be the Lance Stroll victory in Canada that we've all
[33:38.580 -> 33:42.680] been waiting for it could be happening. Oh my god you reckon? Yeah and if it does
[33:42.680 -> 33:47.360] I'm necking a pint of maple syrup. Um, I said I was going to do
[33:47.360 -> 33:52.240] it outside the Canadian embassy, but, um, somebody reminded me that because we're a
[33:52.240 -> 33:54.240] Commonwealth, we don't have any Canadian embassies.
[33:54.240 -> 33:55.240] Oh no!
[33:55.240 -> 33:59.600] We're going to have to do it outside Buckingham palace or something. I don't know.
[33:59.600 -> 34:04.280] What about, I don't know, are there any famous like Canadian restaurants or statues or anything
[34:04.280 -> 34:05.020] like that? I don't know. We'll figure famous like Canadian restaurants or statues or anything like that?
[34:05.420 -> 34:09.380] I don't know. We'll figure something out, but last call, I'll win the race first.
[34:09.420 -> 34:11.300] Look, Hey, if he podiums, I'll do it.
[34:12.240 -> 34:12.740] Okay.
[34:13.420 -> 34:13.920] Okay.
[34:14.060 -> 34:15.260] Well, you have fun.
[34:15.580 -> 34:16.620] That sounds terrible.
[34:16.700 -> 34:17.460] I wouldn't do that.
[34:19.220 -> 34:22.900] So what are some other interesting things about this circuit?
[34:24.660 -> 34:25.240] Uh, track evolution is always quite high, uh, because the What are some other interesting things about this circuit?
[34:27.720 -> 34:28.400] Track evolution is always quite high
[34:32.440 -> 34:33.360] because the surface is fairly smooth and they don't really use it outside of F1.
[34:36.520 -> 34:36.800] So we're going to see him go all sound or fancy here.
[34:39.640 -> 34:40.560] We're going to see a high degree of track evolution over the weekend,
[34:42.640 -> 34:45.320] but we probably won't because it's probably going to fucking rain. But if it stays dry, we will.
[34:45.320 -> 34:47.120] OK, fair enough.
[34:47.120 -> 34:49.840] Another one is you mentioned is the pit loss here is really short
[34:49.840 -> 34:53.640] because you basically dive bomb down into the final change of direction
[34:54.040 -> 34:57.560] next to the wall of champions, dive into the pits, and then you exit
[34:57.760 -> 34:58.720] at the exit of turn two.
[34:58.720 -> 35:00.960] So turn two into three.
[35:00.960 -> 35:02.200] So it's like, yeah, whatever.
[35:02.200 -> 35:03.840] Well, no, very little pit loss here.
[35:03.840 -> 35:07.260] Yuki infamously last year just drove straight off and into the wall.
[35:07.260 -> 35:09.660] But like what you did when we played F1 2022.
[35:10.140 -> 35:12.540] Yeah, but he didn't have autopilot on the pit exit.
[35:12.600 -> 35:13.700] And he was just like,
[35:15.340 -> 35:17.240] ah, to the best of us, Yuki.
[35:18.340 -> 35:23.000] My favorite memory of Montreal was when Perez got a penalty
[35:23.000 -> 35:26.560] for Felipe Massa driving into him.
[35:26.560 -> 35:29.160] Yes, I remember that.
[35:29.160 -> 35:30.160] Yeah.
[35:30.160 -> 35:33.680] What a fucking useless goober.
[35:33.680 -> 35:35.680] The funniest part about that was Checo.
[35:35.680 -> 35:40.440] I mean, Checo and Massa had a huge shunt, right?
[35:40.440 -> 35:46.000] And then Perez comes back from Paris comes back from medical center.
[35:46.000 -> 35:52.000] And we're sitting in the office, which is a connex box, like a shipping container, basically.
[35:52.000 -> 35:55.000] And it's nasty and hot in there and it stinks.
[35:55.000 -> 35:58.000] And it was me and GP sat there because we got taken out quite early.
[35:58.000 -> 36:01.000] And we just like after the race was up, we just packed up.
[36:01.000 -> 36:04.000] And then Paris walks in. He's like, what's up, guys?
[36:04.000 -> 36:06.040] I said, GP goes, yeah, you'll never guess what. And He's like, what's up guys? I said GP goes, yeah, you'll never guess what and he's like what?
[36:06.040 -> 36:07.120] And he goes, yeah,
[36:07.120 -> 36:08.800] you've got the penalty for massive
[36:08.800 -> 36:10.200] taking you on he goes.
[36:10.200 -> 36:12.080] Ah.
[36:12.080 -> 36:13.800] Fuckers and walks out of the room.
[36:13.800 -> 36:15.400] Was it that was literally it?
[36:15.400 -> 36:16.440] Not even a rant,
[36:16.440 -> 36:18.600] not even anything else was like alright dude.
[36:18.600 -> 36:21.600] He was like he was just over it at that point.
[36:21.600 -> 36:24.080] Imagine the Williams used to be quick back then.
[36:24.080 -> 36:25.140] They finished third in the championship that year. Yeah, Williams used to be quick back then they finished third
[36:25.140 -> 36:26.380] in the championship that year.
[36:26.460 -> 36:26.960] Yeah.
[36:27.320 -> 36:27.820] Yeah.
[36:27.820 -> 36:28.320] It did.
[36:28.620 -> 36:29.620] Oh, fuck happened.
[36:29.620 -> 36:30.980] Like Jesus.
[36:30.980 -> 36:33.560] I mean, it's, it happens to everybody at some point.
[36:33.960 -> 36:34.220] Yeah.
[36:34.220 -> 36:38.960] They just didn't have the money to, uh, continuously invest into
[36:38.960 -> 36:42.180] improvement, do the story of all the small teams, really?
[36:42.700 -> 36:43.200] Yeah.
[36:43.340 -> 36:43.840] Yeah, it is.
[36:44.280 -> 36:44.580] Yeah, it is.
[36:44.580 -> 36:46.100] But they were punching above their weight for a while.
[36:46.100 -> 36:46.500] But, uh,
[36:46.660 -> 36:51.100] yeah, I mean, the Mercedes engine in 2014 and 15 was OP.
[36:51.160 -> 36:51.900] Let's be honest.
[36:53.080 -> 36:53.580] Yeah.
[36:53.780 -> 36:54.280] Fair enough.
[36:54.700 -> 36:55.000] Yeah.
[36:55.040 -> 36:56.280] They had like no drag.
[36:56.400 -> 36:59.380] So they just flew along the straights and because they were so quick, it
[36:59.380 -> 37:01.420] didn't really matter that they were dog shit in the corners.
[37:03.500 -> 37:03.700] Yeah.
[37:03.700 -> 37:05.520] And qualifying, this is like, what are apexes?
[37:05.560 -> 37:07.200] This thing is so goddamn fast.
[37:07.200 -> 37:09.040] The Williams was the one, no, I'm talking about the Williams.
[37:09.040 -> 37:10.160] I had no downforce.
[37:10.200 -> 37:10.480] Yeah.
[37:10.720 -> 37:15.400] Oh, well, well, Felipe kind of struggled to, um, like I used to, I remember watching
[37:15.400 -> 37:16.760] some of his onboards from qualifying.
[37:16.760 -> 37:20.240] It's like, you know, the turn in he's leaving like a foot on the curb on the,
[37:20.320 -> 37:23.080] on the exit on the turn in, he's leaving a foot on the outside of the turn in.
[37:23.080 -> 37:25.200] And so I was like, what are you guys doing, right?
[37:25.620 -> 37:25.840] Yeah.
[37:25.840 -> 37:29.360] You turn into the corner, like two corners before you reached it.
[37:29.420 -> 37:33.640] That's, uh, and then eventually the car might react, but it didn't matter because
[37:33.640 -> 37:35.960] like I say, you just blasted it down the straight and it was like,
[37:36.860 -> 37:37.360] Layers.
[37:41.860 -> 37:51.000] So I usually do this, but you've done a little quiz. I have. I have. I thought you know why not spice things up.
[37:51.000 -> 38:01.000] So as we mentioned earlier was it since 1978 we've had 41 Grand Prix's there right and chat and everyone at home you can play along this as well.
[38:01.000 -> 38:05.960] 41 Grand Prix's right? What's the driver? Who's the driver with
[38:05.960 -> 38:12.120] the most pole positions at this circuit? I reckon it's Schumacher with like six
[38:12.120 -> 38:25.600] or seven. Yes, weirdly you got that spot on it's Schumacher with six. I'm going to join joint first with who else? Oh,
[38:26.600 -> 38:27.700] is it one of the greats?
[38:28.300 -> 38:29.300] Yeah, you could say that.
[38:29.300 -> 38:29.700] Yeah,
[38:30.600 -> 38:31.300] is it
[38:32.100 -> 38:32.700] cross?
[38:33.400 -> 38:33.700] Nice.
[38:33.700 -> 38:33.900] Lose.
[38:33.900 -> 38:34.400] Have on.
[38:36.500 -> 38:37.000] Ah,
[38:37.500 -> 38:38.400] I was gonna make a funny joke,
[38:38.400 -> 38:38.800] but yeah,
[38:38.800 -> 38:39.000] no,
[38:39.000 -> 38:39.200] no,
[38:39.200 -> 38:39.900] it's canceled.
[38:39.900 -> 38:40.600] Come on now.
[38:40.600 -> 38:41.000] Okay,
[38:41.200 -> 38:42.600] he's got seven world championships.
[38:42.600 -> 38:45.500] I got to call him a great even if I am sitting here wearing a red top.
[38:45.500 -> 38:50.500] Yeah, that is that is actually honestly not remotely surprising.
[38:51.500 -> 38:56.000] And just for completion sake third place Sebastian Vettel with five.
[38:57.000 -> 38:58.000] Ooh.
[38:58.000 -> 39:03.000] So with that information in mind, who's the driver with the most wins?
[39:04.000 -> 39:08.780] It's not Schumacher is it? is it Hamilton?
[39:08.780 -> 39:15.840] well bizarrely enough it's also joint between Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton
[39:15.840 -> 39:22.600] with seven. Decent all right I'm doing okay yeah I'm doing okay. Third place
[39:22.600 -> 39:25.520] Nelson PK with three.
[39:26.320 -> 39:27.600] Never heard of the guy. No, no, he's cancelled.
[39:27.600 -> 39:27.920] Get out.
[39:28.640 -> 39:30.160] Driver with the most podiums.
[39:31.520 -> 39:34.000] Oh, it's not Hulkenberg.
[39:34.960 -> 39:36.720] No, it's not Hulkenberg.
[39:36.720 -> 39:38.640] No, funnily enough, it's not Hulkenberg.
[39:40.400 -> 39:41.440] Oh my god.
[39:43.760 -> 39:46.400] Ooh, is it somebody who's still driving on the grid?
[39:47.000 -> 39:47.900] One of them is.
[39:49.500 -> 39:50.400] Oh, there's a joint.
[39:51.700 -> 39:55.500] Well, there's the top three, but the second place is still on the grid.
[39:57.400 -> 39:58.200] It's gotta be Hamilton.
[39:58.800 -> 40:00.200] Second place is Hamilton with nine.
[40:00.200 -> 40:00.500] Yep.
[40:00.500 -> 40:03.200] Michael Schumacher is first with 12 podiums.
[40:03.400 -> 40:04.100] Whoa.
[40:04.200 -> 40:08.200] And Seve Voigt is third with 12 podiums. Woah! And Seve Boy is third with six podiums.
[40:08.200 -> 40:08.800] Right.
[40:08.800 -> 40:09.800] Sebastian.
[40:09.800 -> 40:12.200] Now, here's a good one.
[40:12.200 -> 40:13.200] Ooh.
[40:13.200 -> 40:15.000] Team with the most wins.
[40:15.000 -> 40:18.600] Now, this is tied between three teams.
[40:18.600 -> 40:20.600] Oh!
[40:20.600 -> 40:21.400] Well...
[40:21.400 -> 40:22.600] Hit me with it.
[40:22.600 -> 40:26.600] I reckon one of them's Ferrari. Correct, yep.
[40:26.600 -> 40:28.600] The other one's Mercedes.
[40:28.600 -> 40:29.900] Incorrect.
[40:29.900 -> 40:31.900] Is there a McLaren in there?
[40:31.900 -> 40:32.900] Correct.
[40:32.900 -> 40:34.900] And a Mull... is it Willys?
[40:34.900 -> 40:35.900] It is, yeah.
[40:35.900 -> 40:39.900] Williams, McLaren and Ferrari, joint with 8 wins each.
[40:39.900 -> 40:43.900] Mercedes and Red Bull, joint second with 4 each.
[40:43.900 -> 40:46.560] Brabham with three.
[40:47.600 -> 40:51.760] Lotus with two, Benetton two, BAR one, Areno one.
[40:53.560 -> 40:54.880] Right, here we go.
[40:54.880 -> 40:56.920] Now, to be fair, I did tweak this,
[40:56.920 -> 40:58.600] so you may have seen this on Twitter.
[40:58.600 -> 40:59.560] I haven't been on Twitter.
[40:59.560 -> 41:00.560] Good.
[41:00.560 -> 41:02.440] Right, hear me out.
[41:02.440 -> 41:03.520] Bonus question.
[41:09.040 -> 41:15.000] Ferrari engines have been on the podium 35 times. Go on lad. Ferrari as a constructor have only been on it 34 times. What was the odd one
[41:15.000 -> 41:20.600] out? Now I will accept a point for each year, driver and team.
[41:20.600 -> 41:23.280] It was a Torosso? Nope.
[41:23.280 -> 41:26.720] Was it Minardi? Nope. All right, I'm done.
[41:27.560 -> 41:30.000] Sergio Perez finished third in 2012.
[41:30.000 -> 41:32.000] Oh, Sauber!
[41:32.200 -> 41:36.920] Oh my god, that was, that was a, that was, they were fucking rapid that year as well, weren't they?
[41:36.920 -> 41:42.400] Yeah, Sauber-Ferrari, and had bizarrely sponsorship from the Chelsea Football Club, which was weird.
[41:43.040 -> 41:46.080] Yeah, I was like, what's Chelsea Football, That's like a lady's name, isn't it?
[41:46.160 -> 41:46.480] I don't know.
[41:46.480 -> 41:46.920] Football.
[41:46.960 -> 41:48.120] Oh, Jesus Christ.
[41:48.700 -> 41:49.400] What year was that?
[41:50.080 -> 41:50.840] 2012.
[41:51.400 -> 41:52.320] That was my first season.
[41:52.320 -> 41:53.060] That's why I don't remember.
[41:53.060 -> 41:54.040] I blocked most of that out.
[41:55.440 -> 41:55.920] Fair enough.
[41:55.920 -> 41:56.440] That's a good one.
[41:56.880 -> 41:57.360] That's a good one.
[41:57.360 -> 41:58.480] Well, enough, enough for me.
[41:58.480 -> 42:02.400] I feel like I did a lot better on that than, uh, yeah, the formula one quiz, but
[42:02.400 -> 42:05.880] whoever did the, whoever did the F1 subreddit F1 quiz,
[42:05.880 -> 42:09.800] some of those questions were very, very,
[42:10.760 -> 42:15.760] very niche and connoisseur like and I'm, yeah, yeah.
[42:15.880 -> 42:17.520] Yeah, and Neil, fine, fine.
[42:17.520 -> 42:20.320] He's too much of a guru for me, but right,
[42:20.320 -> 42:21.160] let's get into it.
[42:21.160 -> 42:22.160] Predictions for qualifying.
[42:22.160 -> 42:23.360] Dan, I need your top five.
[42:23.360 -> 42:24.800] You guys have heard enough bullshit from me.
[42:24.800 -> 42:25.600] Let's get into your top five. It's gonna be a wet qualifying. It's get into it. Predictions for qualifying. Dan, I need your top five. You guys have heard enough bullshit from me. Let's get into your top five.
[42:26.240 -> 42:27.560] It's going to be a wet qualifying.
[42:28.240 -> 42:29.320] It's going to be chaotic.
[42:29.800 -> 42:32.040] OK, Lando Norris is going to take pole.
[42:32.560 -> 42:33.520] Go on, Lando.
[42:33.520 -> 42:34.960] Let's go, Lando.
[42:34.960 -> 42:37.240] All right. George Russell is going to take second.
[42:37.760 -> 42:38.680] Oh, my Jesus.
[42:39.560 -> 42:42.840] And then for shits and giggles, Lance Stroll will take third.
[42:44.480 -> 42:47.440] OK. I'm going to I'm going to do one different. And for shits and giggles Lance Stroll will take third. Okay.
[42:47.440 -> 42:48.800] I'm gonna do one different.
[42:48.800 -> 42:50.400] I think we could have a wet qualifying.
[42:50.400 -> 42:51.400] So let's do wet qualifying.
[42:51.400 -> 42:52.400] Oh shit, yeah sorry.
[42:52.400 -> 42:54.760] I just remembered you wanted top five didn't you?
[42:54.760 -> 42:55.760] Oh yeah, keep going.
[42:55.760 -> 42:56.760] Sorry, let me complete that.
[42:56.760 -> 43:02.400] Norris, Russell, Stroll, Alonzo and then who else is even more random?
[43:02.400 -> 43:05.280] Fuck it, let's have Magnuson in fifth.
[43:05.280 -> 43:06.280] Sergeant, Sergeant.
[43:06.280 -> 43:07.280] Oh.
[43:07.280 -> 43:09.280] Jesus, I'm not that wild.
[43:09.280 -> 43:16.000] Right, so I'm going to go with Verstappen, Alonso, Hamilton, Perez and Stroll.
[43:16.000 -> 43:17.000] Nice.
[43:17.000 -> 43:20.520] At least one of us was semi-sensible.
[43:20.520 -> 43:21.520] Yeah.
[43:21.520 -> 43:24.520] Okay, your podium.
[43:24.520 -> 43:25.000] Uh, podium.
[43:25.000 -> 43:31.920] So for the podium, uh, I reckon, uh, fuck it.
[43:31.920 -> 43:33.200] I'm leaning into it.
[43:33.200 -> 43:37.040] Lance Stroll, the hero of Canada will take the win.
[43:37.040 -> 43:42.040] Uh, Alonzo will be second just to piss off all of his fans who are still waiting for
[43:42.040 -> 43:44.600] his next win.
[43:44.600 -> 43:47.800] And uh, who will be third? Let's put number 33.
[43:47.880 -> 43:51.640] Number 33 is not coming anytime soon. Or is it? Yeah. Uh,
[43:51.680 -> 43:53.680] who should I put third for the ultimate shit house?
[43:55.240 -> 43:57.520] Uh, let's put Russell up there. Fuck it.
[43:59.720 -> 44:03.560] Wow. That's pretty impressive. Um, okay.
[44:03.800 -> 44:05.480] I'm going to go for stopapp and Perez Leclerc.
[44:05.480 -> 44:08.000] Yeah, again, another safe bet.
[44:08.000 -> 44:11.200] Yeah, it is pretty safe, but I think Ferrari should go well here.
[44:11.200 -> 44:12.920] I think Ferrari should go well here.
[44:12.920 -> 44:14.280] Probably.
[44:14.280 -> 44:19.600] I just want to spice it up with a bit of rain, so I'm going to be outlandish.
[44:19.600 -> 44:23.320] I think you just want to go neck a bottle of maple syrup somewhere, don't you?
[44:23.320 -> 44:27.560] I mean, it's bold for everyone to assume that I don't do that in my spare time already.
[44:27.560 -> 44:28.560] I mean have you seen me?
[44:28.560 -> 44:32.340] I'm not exactly the pinnacle of fitness.
[44:32.340 -> 44:33.720] You do look kind of sweet though.
[44:33.720 -> 44:36.320] I am, thank you.
[44:36.320 -> 44:37.320] People think I've got a ginger beard.
[44:37.320 -> 44:40.800] No, this has just been stained from the amount of maple syrup I'm drinking.
[44:40.800 -> 44:41.800] I'm quiet.
[44:41.800 -> 44:45.280] What, are you pouring maple syrup on your head to the fucking goober?
[44:45.280 -> 44:49.000] This is stained by nicotine and this bit stained by syrup.
[44:49.000 -> 44:50.760] And then this is like a cider stain.
[44:50.760 -> 44:51.760] Yeah.
[44:51.760 -> 44:52.760] Okay.
[44:52.760 -> 44:53.760] Where's the cappuccino at the cappuccino?
[44:53.760 -> 44:54.760] Fuck.
[44:54.760 -> 44:56.640] He's on the top of your head.
[44:56.640 -> 45:00.600] Fancy drinks like that, son.
[45:00.600 -> 45:03.800] All right.
[45:03.800 -> 45:06.240] Random fandom draw, ladies and gentlemen.
[45:06.240 -> 45:07.800] Sorry, soundboard broken so.
[45:07.800 -> 45:11.880] Did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it

[45:27.600 -> 45:32.680] because it's it's been a wild one. Who do we have? You had Alpha Taui last week where
[45:32.680 -> 45:38.600] Nick was P14, Yuki was P15 and qualifying or the was that the race result? That was
[45:38.600 -> 45:45.040] the quality. I had Mercedes and I thought they did all last weekend but who are we gonna have this week?
[45:45.040 -> 45:51.800] While you're explaining that you got McLaren.
[45:51.800 -> 45:52.800] Okay.
[45:52.800 -> 45:57.400] And spin for me who did I get?
[45:57.400 -> 46:00.400] I've got Alpine.
[46:00.400 -> 46:01.400] Alpine.
[46:01.400 -> 46:02.400] Oh my.
[46:02.400 -> 46:05.000] They haven't been bad recently. No they haven't.
[46:05.000 -> 46:11.200] Otmar is off the bubble because they were just kind of like having some hiccups and
[46:11.200 -> 46:14.720] Laurent Rossi was just like, oh fuck you.
[46:14.720 -> 46:16.200] I think this is all his fault honestly.
[46:16.200 -> 46:19.520] The fact that he tried to steamroll Otmar.
[46:19.520 -> 46:21.640] Otmar is a god damn saint.
[46:21.640 -> 46:22.640] Yeah.
[46:22.640 -> 46:23.640] Sorry.
[46:23.640 -> 46:27.700] I'm down for sacking off Laurent Rossi.
[46:28.100 -> 46:29.700] Rossi's the fraud for real.
[46:31.300 -> 46:34.400] Yeah, but but anyways, so let's let's have a quick roundup.
[46:34.400 -> 46:38.000] So if you're not following the engine breaking podcast on YouTube,
[46:38.000 -> 46:41.600] you should because there's a very probable chance that we will be
[46:41.600 -> 46:45.040] moving the live streams of the podcast over onto
[46:45.040 -> 46:49.640] YouTube. There were some concerns with Twitch's terms of service last week, but they've gone
[46:49.640 -> 46:55.580] back on, but we're discussing it. So watch this space, but we also post shorts and some
[46:55.580 -> 47:00.280] clips to YouTube. So if you don't have time to consume the whole episode, get involved,
[47:00.280 -> 47:06.400] but yeah. So we will be probably most likely the podcast will be on youtube soon maybe not this week
[47:06.400 -> 47:14.960] but yeah but uh yeah oh yeah uh go follow me on youtube uh engine mode 11 on youtube because
[47:14.960 -> 47:19.600] that's the thing again now where basically i'm just shithousing my way around iRacing trying
[47:19.600 -> 47:26.120] to be a better driver oh hell yeah uh big up with, big up. We like butcher. Uh,
[47:26.480 -> 47:30.840] speaking of, I have ordered another four kilo brisket, uh,
[47:30.880 -> 47:32.840] from the butcher, my local.
[47:33.560 -> 47:35.240] Do you remember the name of the butcher? Would you like to shout
[47:35.240 -> 47:36.040] them out live on air?
[47:36.920 -> 47:40.400] Uh, it's actually not super, super local, but it's like a
[47:40.400 -> 47:42.880] local, it's not Tesco. It's like the village butcher. I think
[47:42.880 -> 47:45.720] they're in Essex. That's not my fucking Morrison's.
[47:45.720 -> 47:48.880] No, I'm pretty sure it's the village butcher in Essex.
[47:48.880 -> 47:51.400] Shout out, shout out the village butcher.
[47:51.400 -> 47:55.400] Shout out Stevenage family butchers up the oval big up.
[47:55.400 -> 47:58.680] I guess what I'm going to cook that brisket on.
[47:58.680 -> 48:01.680] Is it the Traeger grill that you've got?
[48:01.680 -> 48:03.960] The Traeger Ironwood 650 baby.
[48:03.960 -> 48:05.920] I still fucking haven't got one have I? Take the Traeger. We're've got? The Traeger Ironwood 650 baby. I still fucking haven't got one.
[48:05.920 -> 48:06.240] Have I?
[48:06.440 -> 48:06.720] Hmm.
[48:06.760 -> 48:07.440] Thanks Traeger.
[48:07.500 -> 48:08.880] We're going to get there one day chat.
[48:09.320 -> 48:09.720] One day.
[48:11.800 -> 48:13.100] Famous one day.
[48:13.100 -> 48:15.840] They're going to come through with that grill and I'm going to cook
[48:15.840 -> 48:17.000] a meal for all of you on it.
[48:17.640 -> 48:18.480] Yeah, dude.
[48:18.640 -> 48:21.880] What about like a Traeger F1 engine breaking collab in the
[48:21.880 -> 48:23.200] United States with brisket?
[48:24.240 -> 48:24.920] Yeah, we could do it.
[48:24.920 -> 48:29.300] We could, we could cook while interviewing F1 engine breaking collab in the United States with brisket. Yeah, we could do it. We could we could cook while interviewing F1 personalities.
[48:29.300 -> 48:31.600] So it's a perfect combo, man.
[48:31.900 -> 48:33.400] It's it's the way it's the way.
[48:33.500 -> 48:37.400] So local butchers, grandparents, grandmothers,
[48:37.700 -> 48:39.300] Yep, checking on your mom's stats.
[48:39.600 -> 48:40.200] Check on them.
[48:40.700 -> 48:41.700] How are you doing, by the way?
[48:42.400 -> 48:42.800] Me?
[48:43.200 -> 48:46.680] I'm stumbling from crisis to crisis, mate,
[48:46.680 -> 48:48.120] but we're still here.
[48:48.120 -> 48:49.680] We're still good.

[48:50.520 -> 48:51.920] Love that.
[48:51.920 -> 48:53.360] Yeah, we're gonna get back to work.

[48:55.520 -> 48:57.000] Next Monday will be our podcast.
[48:57.000 -> 48:58.960] I'm not sure if it'll be on Twitch or on YouTube,
[48:58.960 -> 48:59.960] but either way afterwards,
[48:59.960 -> 49:01.860] it'll be on Spotify, Apple Music, and all that stuff.
[49:01.860 -> 49:04.200] So thank you guys for all the love.
[49:04.200 -> 49:06.200] We've gone from strength to strength of this podcast.

[49:09.200 -> 49:11.120] and trusting us.
[49:11.120 -> 49:12.600] And that stuff's awesome, man.
[49:12.600 -> 49:14.400] I couldn't watch F1 without MultiViewer.
[49:14.400 -> 49:16.120] I definitely don't have to use VPN
[49:16.120 -> 49:18.680] to watch F1 TV Pro and MultiViewer.
[49:18.680 -> 49:20.680] Big shout out to MultiViewer for F1.

[49:22.200 -> 49:26.500] or WEC or IndyCar, oh my my God. What are you what are you doing?
[49:26.500 -> 49:29.000] Honestly, true. Appreciate it.
