[01:00.600 -> 01:07.000] For many of us, the holiday season means more travel, more shopping, more connecting online,

[03:23.900 -> 03:25.320] of other technical infrastructure
[03:25.320 -> 03:26.320] action.
[03:26.320 -> 03:29.040] And we're here with the most fraudulent Formula One podcast.
[03:29.040 -> 03:30.760] We have no idea what we're talking about.
[03:30.760 -> 03:33.840] No, but we look and sound good while we do it.
[03:33.840 -> 03:35.400] So what does it matter?
[03:35.400 -> 03:39.040] Yeah, that blue track suit is going real, real good as well.
[03:39.040 -> 03:40.040] I like that.
[03:40.040 -> 03:41.040] Thank you.
[03:41.040 -> 03:42.840] After this, I'm going to go scouring in Stevenage.
[03:42.840 -> 03:46.760] See what I can find. It just found a duffel bag here.
[03:46.760 -> 03:47.760] What's in that?
[03:47.760 -> 03:50.480] Oh, is that some radiated milk and some crackers?
[03:50.480 -> 03:51.480] Lovely.
[03:51.480 -> 03:52.480] I'm all about that life.
[03:52.480 -> 03:53.480] Yeah.
[03:53.480 -> 03:58.600] Maybe find a piece of body armor in that crate over there across the street as well.
[03:58.600 -> 03:59.600] It'll be used.
[03:59.600 -> 04:00.600] There's no new items here.
[04:00.600 -> 04:09.040] I know this is a Formula One podcast, but we like to fray into Escape from Tarkov and
[04:09.040 -> 04:11.780] often a barbecue Traeger chat.
[04:11.780 -> 04:16.180] So yeah, we hit quite a lot of niches all in one go.
[04:16.180 -> 04:18.060] That's, that's how we roll.
[04:18.060 -> 04:19.580] It's just, it's just good.
[04:19.580 -> 04:20.580] It's good.
[04:20.580 -> 04:22.180] But welcome to the show.
[04:22.180 -> 04:24.680] This is our Austrian debrief show.
[04:24.680 -> 04:29.360] We don't really have so much in the way of a Silverstone preview, but like Silverstone,
[04:29.360 -> 04:31.480] what's there to say about Silverstone that already hasn't been said?
[04:31.480 -> 04:33.480] You know, just, just one of the greats.
[04:33.480 -> 04:34.480] Yeah.
[04:34.480 -> 04:35.480] Yeah.
[04:35.480 -> 04:38.880] And as two former Red Bull employees, we're not allowed to talk about Silverstone because
[04:38.880 -> 04:41.760] we still got PTSD from Silverstone 2021.
[04:41.760 -> 04:44.320] What are you talking about?
[04:44.320 -> 04:45.000] Dude, I've had therapy to get rid of that. Yeah, exactly. It's been blanked out.
[04:45.000 -> 04:46.000] We've had like additional therapy.
[04:46.000 -> 04:47.000] Thanks.
[04:47.000 -> 04:48.000] Yeah.
[04:48.000 -> 04:56.600] So that winter soldier, we just say a certain bunch of words, Michael Massey and that in
[04:56.600 -> 04:59.000] order and we just get activated.
[04:59.000 -> 05:00.440] Bono, my tires.
[05:00.440 -> 05:01.440] Oh God, no.
[05:01.440 -> 05:02.440] Is that Min again?
[05:02.440 -> 05:03.440] Yeah.
[05:03.440 -> 05:04.440] But anyway.
[05:04.440 -> 05:05.000] Yeah. Sorry. anyway. Yeah.
[05:05.000 -> 05:06.000] Sorry.
[05:06.000 -> 05:07.000] Sorry.
[05:07.000 -> 05:11.080] We've rambled on already for a few minutes, but Hey, if you've been here a while, that's
[05:11.080 -> 05:12.120] what we do.
[05:12.120 -> 05:15.040] If you're new here, Hey, thanks for joining us.
[05:15.040 -> 05:19.320] And we didn't do a show last week because I think as Blake has already touched on, we
[05:19.320 -> 05:20.800] just took a bit of time off.
[05:20.800 -> 05:23.280] I know Blake, you had quite a lot going on.
[05:23.280 -> 05:24.600] I was flat out, mate.
[05:24.600 -> 05:28.620] Yeah. I had some real life work and then I just, I just needed to rest.
[05:28.640 -> 05:32.860] So I took like a week off of socials and I just said to Blake, Blake,
[05:33.520 -> 05:34.540] I'm not feeling it this week.
[05:36.740 -> 05:40.600] Honestly, listen, listen to your head when it's like, right, this is
[05:40.600 -> 05:42.060] a little bit too much going on.
[05:42.320 -> 05:44.620] You can keep pushing through it for like a little bit and then you keep
[05:44.620 -> 05:47.060] doing that a little bit longer and you're not going to be very happy.
[05:47.060 -> 05:50.820] So it was like, you know, before this gets messy, why don't we just like, we'll take a little break.
[05:50.820 -> 05:56.260] I know you guys will be completely understanding and you won't definitely, uh, review bomb us with one star.
[05:58.260 -> 05:59.880] I mean, you can, if you want, I don't give a shit.
[06:00.700 -> 06:02.560] I mean, I've got a real life job.
[06:02.560 -> 06:04.140] You haven't, you're the one that's fucked.
[06:04.200 -> 06:04.700] Not me.
[06:05.640 -> 06:06.640] Oh God. Yeah. I mean, I've got a real life job. You haven't, you're the one that's fucked. Not me.
[06:06.640 -> 06:07.640] Oh God.
[06:07.640 -> 06:08.640] Yeah.
[06:08.640 -> 06:11.240] I'll, I'll, I think I'll, I'll, I'll eventually be okay.
[06:11.240 -> 06:16.080] Cause uh, I'm starting on my only cat's account and sending a account for just like great
[06:16.080 -> 06:17.080] pictures of my cats.
[06:17.080 -> 06:18.080] But uh, yeah.
[06:18.080 -> 06:21.080] Uh, but yeah, no, Blake raises a good point.
[06:21.080 -> 06:23.480] Um, if you're struggling, reach out for help.
[06:23.480 -> 06:26.260] Don't suffer in silence cause you end up bottling it up.
[06:26.260 -> 06:28.880] And as someone who's 35 years old,
[06:28.880 -> 06:30.780] and I can tell you I've been around in this circle
[06:30.780 -> 06:33.740] many times, bottling it up doesn't help anyone.
[06:33.740 -> 06:35.740] It hurts you, and it hurts the ones closest to you.
[06:35.740 -> 06:37.740] So reach out.
[06:37.740 -> 06:38.820] I believe in you.
[06:38.820 -> 06:40.220] There you go.
[06:40.220 -> 06:41.060] Amen.
[06:42.460 -> 06:43.640] Ah, right.
[06:44.580 -> 06:47.040] What are we doing? I suppose we better do a podcast really, don't we?
[06:49.040 -> 06:52.800] Just a bit of a heavy point to think about and then I guess that leads into uh...
[06:52.800 -> 06:58.640] Well yes, also before we go too further on, we're going to dedicate this show to
[06:59.280 -> 07:02.800] Delano van der Hoff, the Dutch racing driver who sadly passed away
[07:03.760 -> 07:06.200] after a crash at the Formula Regional
[07:06.200 -> 07:11.080] European Championship in Spa on Saturday.
[07:11.080 -> 07:16.160] Sadly a reminder of just how dangerous motorsport can be.
[07:16.160 -> 07:17.380] It's wild man.
[07:17.380 -> 07:22.080] It's super wild and it's, this goes for, and I think this goes for racing.
[07:22.080 -> 07:25.800] It's extremely dangerous and there are risks associated with
[07:25.800 -> 07:26.800] it.
[07:26.800 -> 07:31.600] And I think even Lance talked about some stuff, his feelings on that after qualifying on Friday
[07:31.600 -> 07:37.300] or Saturday, I don't remember which one it was, but yeah, some interesting questions
[07:37.300 -> 07:39.000] to be asked and hopefully we come to the right answer.
[07:39.000 -> 07:42.880] But it just goes to show you like life is really short and don't take it for granted
[07:42.880 -> 07:52.120] either. Yeah. And if you spend your time arguing with people on the internet, um, fucking touch grass.
[07:52.120 -> 07:53.120] It's honestly, what is the point?
[07:53.120 -> 07:56.900] Do something more productive for you.
[07:56.900 -> 08:00.600] And also as well as another random tangent, I will use the opportunity to shout out all
[08:00.600 -> 08:06.240] the marshals as well and things like that, all the volunteer marshals and all their
[08:07.760 -> 08:16.640] efforts in what they do. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, yeah, I think that's enough said on that. So
[08:16.640 -> 08:25.000] don't take anything for granted and yeah. And like, like you said in the chat, like we've come a long way with technology
[08:25.060 -> 08:30.200] and safety and motor racing, but these things do happen now and then.
[08:30.640 -> 08:34.520] And, um, need to keep finding ways to avoid them happening so people can do
[08:35.080 -> 08:36.480] stuff that they're passionate about.
[08:37.560 -> 08:42.000] Um, but yeah, maybe these are dangerous things, extreme sports, motor racing,
[08:42.440 -> 08:46.760] skydiving, walking across the street to get some dodgy meatballs
[08:46.760 -> 08:47.760] from the corner store.
[08:47.760 -> 08:48.760] You never know.
[08:48.760 -> 08:49.760] You never know.
[08:49.760 -> 08:54.840] But anyway, shall we, um, with that in mind.
[08:54.840 -> 08:55.840] Wow.
[08:55.840 -> 08:58.680] We have a race in Austria to talk about.
[08:58.680 -> 09:02.800] And in the reality is, is we're probably going to spend about 10 minutes on the race and
[09:02.800 -> 09:04.960] then 50 minutes discussing track limits.
[09:04.960 -> 09:05.160] So that'd be fun. is we're probably going to spend about 10 minutes on the race and then 50 minutes discussing track limits.
[09:05.160 -> 09:06.160] So that'll be fun.
[09:06.160 -> 09:12.120] Strap yourselves in, ladies and gentlemen, because this is going to be a wild ride.
[09:12.120 -> 09:14.200] So we've got Austria GP preview.
[09:14.200 -> 09:18.280] We're not going to touch on a Silverstone preview just because everybody knows about
[09:18.280 -> 09:19.280] Silverstone.
[09:19.280 -> 09:22.160] We'll chat about it again on our debrief and anything we missed from it.
[09:22.160 -> 09:24.200] There hasn't been a whole lot in the news.
[09:24.200 -> 09:25.760] We'll go through the usual fraud watch list
[09:25.760 -> 09:27.200] from the Austrian Grand Prix
[09:27.200 -> 09:30.400] and pick a couple of Injie Mode good boys or good girls.
[09:31.520 -> 09:33.520] I don't think we've had an Injie Mode good girl yet.
[09:34.160 -> 09:34.400] Yet.
[09:35.440 -> 09:37.520] We'll do some predictions and some random fandom picks
[09:37.520 -> 09:38.400] for Silverstone.
[09:38.400 -> 09:39.920] So yeah.
[09:39.920 -> 09:42.640] And like we said, don't forget to take a rest when you need it.
[09:42.640 -> 09:45.240] Listen to yourself and talk to people.
[09:45.440 -> 09:47.500] But you went karting this weekend.
[09:48.540 -> 09:49.540] Yes, I did.
[09:49.540 -> 09:52.300] So I went with the Missed Apex bunch.
[09:53.140 -> 09:53.740] Oh, man.
[09:53.940 -> 09:54.540] How was it?
[09:54.580 -> 09:55.640] It was it was good.
[09:55.640 -> 09:58.440] Listen, so they did actually be fed, right?
[09:59.140 -> 10:01.640] I know I jokingly slate off everyone, but I'll big them up.
[10:01.640 -> 10:03.200] Their karting events are really good.
[10:04.040 -> 10:08.260] So they do three heats and then like a final.
[10:09.000 -> 10:09.500] Okay.
[10:09.980 -> 10:15.860] I was last in every single one of them, but that's okay because viewers will
[10:15.860 -> 10:18.780] know that I am powerfully built and I'm not built for carting.
[10:19.440 -> 10:22.840] I am 115 kilos of pure British muscle.
[10:24.280 -> 10:26.120] Cars don't favor me, but that's okay.
[10:26.120 -> 10:26.680] I don't care.
[10:26.680 -> 10:27.520] I had a blast.
[10:28.200 -> 10:28.680] Hell yeah.
[10:28.920 -> 10:30.040] Um, so yeah.
[10:30.040 -> 10:34.480] And if anyone out there is listening and is in the UK and perhaps maybe
[10:34.480 -> 10:38.360] we'd like to, you know, maybe do a little engine breaking car and, uh, just
[10:38.440 -> 10:41.040] let yourselves be known on Twitter or on YouTube or whatever.
[10:41.080 -> 10:41.440] Yeah.
[10:41.560 -> 10:43.880] Leave us a comment, blow us up in the comments, say engine
[10:43.880 -> 10:50.720] breaking, carting event. When, um, there's a couple circuits near Milton Keynes. I know that for a fact
[10:50.720 -> 10:55.920] there's one in Northampton. There's one in Milton Keynes. I think we could possibly put
[10:55.920 -> 10:59.660] something together and it would be kind of it would honestly be really cool to connect
[10:59.660 -> 11:04.840] with community in real life and in a. A space where there's lots of people that you know
[11:04.840 -> 11:05.080] and you can meet the other people in the community that you're here in a space where there's lots of people that you know, and
[11:05.080 -> 11:07.760] you can meet the other people in the community that you're here in the Twitch chat or on
[11:07.760 -> 11:09.120] the YouTube comments every week.
[11:09.120 -> 11:10.860] I see you guys and gals.
[11:10.860 -> 11:11.860] You guys are awesome.
[11:11.860 -> 11:14.520] I met I met one of our one of our listeners there.
[11:14.520 -> 11:19.320] Apex big himself up to hang on with that.
[11:19.320 -> 11:20.320] There you go.
[11:20.320 -> 11:21.320] There we go.
[11:21.320 -> 11:28.120] Yeah, no, it's nice to just, it's nice to get out and see people, you know, so yeah, it was a good day out.
[11:28.120 -> 11:29.840] Awesome hell yeah.
[11:29.840 -> 11:34.440] Speaking of speaking of coming dead last, I did Twitch rivals on F1 2023 last week.
[11:34.440 -> 11:36.400] How did that go for you?
[11:36.400 -> 11:38.880] Graham Pooh Bear and I came dead last as well.
[11:38.880 -> 11:46.160] I definitely didn't switch off pretty quickly after receiving a bunch of abuse from from
[11:46.160 -> 11:50.460] one random streamer. His community was not particularly nice and after that point I was
[11:50.460 -> 11:55.080] like I'm just gonna drive this car into the wall to get this over with sooner. But yeah,
[11:55.080 -> 11:57.820] it was it was fun. I hung out with.
[11:57.820 -> 12:03.940] Grandpa Bear huge legend F1 Ellie and then and Yarno Amir. We were all in a voice chat
[12:03.940 -> 12:07.120] together and Yarno's out there sweating it is out.
[12:07.140 -> 12:09.040] He's sweating it out and he's a fast guy,
[12:09.040 -> 12:13.160] right? Super fast eSports sweat and his chat.
[12:13.160 -> 12:13.960] We're just coming into me and
[12:13.960 -> 12:15.320] Grand Pooh Bear and Ellie's chat to be
[12:15.320 -> 12:16.880] like, can you guys shut up, please?
[12:16.900 -> 12:18.400] We're trying to sweat out.
[12:18.400 -> 12:19.880] I'm like, what are you guys doing?
[12:19.880 -> 12:22.240] It's like, oh, it was so funny.
[12:22.240 -> 12:23.960] Basically, he carried all three of you.
[12:24.440 -> 12:28.740] But no, he was on Ellie's team, so he didn't carry us, but we were just on Ellie's team because
[12:28.740 -> 12:33.720] Jarno was late from the club race that he was doing before that.
[12:33.720 -> 12:36.160] So we were just in a chat together and it was just laughs.
[12:36.160 -> 12:39.680] It was just wild.
[12:39.680 -> 12:41.080] So yeah, I know what that is.
[12:41.080 -> 12:42.080] It was just fun.
[12:42.080 -> 12:45.600] I had fun for a bit and then after a while it became I was over it.
[12:45.600 -> 12:47.720] Yeah, well, there you go.
[12:47.720 -> 12:53.720] Our glittering career in racing is not taking off too too quickly.
[12:53.720 -> 13:01.760] But but tomorrow, starting from today, actually, until Sunday, there is a pop up event in London.
[13:01.760 -> 13:07.240] Williams Racing have their pop up and I will be there tomorrow doing a bit of content
[13:07.240 -> 13:11.600] from 10 to 12 and Dan might be out in London as well.
[13:11.600 -> 13:14.480] So it looks like there's a lot of really cool stuff
[13:14.480 -> 13:16.120] out there and this is not an ad or anything,
[13:16.120 -> 13:18.120] but like I've looked at it, they've got a couple of cars,
[13:18.120 -> 13:23.120] they've got some gaming setups, F1 Manager, F1 23,
[13:23.160 -> 13:26.400] they've got a Rocket League gaming lounge as well as some cars.
[13:26.900 -> 13:30.260] Uh, if you want to buy some merchandise is that drivers are going to be there.
[13:30.560 -> 13:33.440] Jensen, Alex, I think Logan Sergeant was there today.
[13:34.120 -> 13:34.580] Yeah.
[13:34.640 -> 13:37.160] It'll be, it looks, it looks like it can be really, really cool.
[13:37.660 -> 13:38.160] Yes.
[13:38.200 -> 13:38.840] Uh, where is it?
[13:38.840 -> 13:40.200] Piccadilly circus in London.
[13:40.240 -> 13:40.740] Yep.
[13:40.960 -> 13:41.460] Yep.
[13:41.520 -> 13:42.020] Yep.
[13:42.020 -> 13:44.620] So, uh, I'm going to try and get myself down there tomorrow,
[13:44.620 -> 13:46.840] which is Tuesday the 4th. Tuesday. Yep. So I'm going to try and get myself down there tomorrow, which is Tuesday the 4th.
[13:46.840 -> 13:47.840] Tuesday, mate!
[13:47.840 -> 13:50.720] And like Blake said, it's there all week.
[13:50.720 -> 13:54.560] It's 4th of July as well, so I think I'm going to wear my American flag shorts.
[13:54.560 -> 13:56.000] Oh, fuck yeah.
[13:56.000 -> 13:57.000] Okay.
[13:57.000 -> 13:58.000] Damn.
[13:58.000 -> 14:00.360] And they didn't have Logan Sargent there on the 4th of July.
[14:00.360 -> 14:01.360] That's stupid.
[14:01.360 -> 14:03.120] That's a bit wild.
[14:03.120 -> 14:04.120] That marketing.
[14:04.120 -> 14:05.080] Jeez. They missed a bit wild. Wild marketing, jeez.
[14:06.840 -> 14:10.440] They missed a huge trick. Florida man, what the fuck is a kilometer?
[14:12.280 -> 14:14.600] But that's not all that's happening this week, is it?
[14:16.000 -> 14:16.920] Where are you off to?
[14:17.360 -> 14:19.520] I'm off to TwitchCon in Paris.
[14:19.680 -> 14:23.200] I will be in Paris from Friday until Sunday.
[14:23.480 -> 14:26.000] And on Saturday morning, I've got a little Twitch
[14:26.000 -> 14:35.000] panel with a couple of other F1 creators including Ash Vandele and Tom, the Tom. I'll be there,
[14:35.000 -> 14:42.360] I think it'll be live 9.30am on one of Twitch's channels on Saturday morning UK time. But
[14:42.360 -> 14:45.040] yeah, Josh from Twitch is hosting us.
[14:45.040 -> 14:47.560] He's been one of our dudes on the inside.
[14:47.560 -> 14:49.960] Big part of the sports and F1 community here.
[14:49.960 -> 14:50.960] But yeah.
[14:50.960 -> 14:53.240] I'm really looking forward to I'll post some pictures, some videos.
[14:53.240 -> 14:56.640] I'll let you guys know on Twitter when you can watch that panel.
[14:56.640 -> 15:01.840] It's about basically F1 motorsports and live streaming and content creators and how that
[15:01.840 -> 15:10.820] works with a lot of people that are deep, in it with we are literally the future and creators. We are the future
[15:11.620 -> 15:13.620] Including you you're the future. Oh
[15:14.060 -> 15:18.020] Wow, you are the future god help everyone if I'm the fucking future of f1
[15:20.820 -> 15:25.400] Shall we get on to the Austria preview track limits?
[15:25.400 -> 15:27.200] Extraordinaire.
[15:27.300 -> 15:28.600] Yeah, why not?
[15:28.600 -> 15:29.300] Why not?
[15:30.800 -> 15:33.100] So basically in the build up to Austria.
[15:34.600 -> 15:39.100] I've got fuck all really to say Austria got extended until 2030,
[15:39.100 -> 15:40.000] which is I think is a good thing.
[15:40.000 -> 15:41.200] I like the Austrian track.
[15:41.800 -> 15:42.300] That's one.
[15:42.300 -> 15:43.100] That's one place.
[15:43.100 -> 15:44.200] We should try and get out to.
[15:44.800 -> 15:45.080] Yep. Next year. Should you book it? we should try and get out to. Yep.
[15:45.160 -> 15:46.300] Next year, should we just book it?
[15:46.360 -> 15:49.560] They should also extend the runoff a little bit further as well.
[15:50.440 -> 15:52.520] Just even, just even a bit more further.
[15:53.040 -> 15:53.960] Yeah, exactly.
[15:54.720 -> 15:55.040] Yeah.
[15:55.480 -> 15:55.800] Thanks.
[15:57.120 -> 15:58.040] We're going to go next year.
[15:58.040 -> 15:59.240] We're going to take your transit van.
[15:59.240 -> 16:01.280] And what we're going to do is we're going to stop at B&Q on the way
[16:01.280 -> 16:02.480] and pick up a bunch of gravel.
[16:03.280 -> 16:05.880] And then we're just going to tactically drop it on the way and pick up a bunch of gravel. And then we're just going to definitely tactically drop it on the track.
[16:08.360 -> 16:09.080] That sounds great.
[16:09.080 -> 16:11.680] Honestly, and maybe like glue it onto the circuit with some
[16:11.680 -> 16:13.040] like really heavy adhesives.
[16:13.440 -> 16:13.600] Yeah.
[16:13.680 -> 16:15.000] But yeah, we fixed F1.
[16:15.120 -> 16:16.320] What more, what more do you want?
[16:16.860 -> 16:18.120] We talked about it last time.
[16:18.120 -> 16:23.360] The, this, the, the, what reminds me of bowling is like Kegelm or I
[16:23.360 -> 16:26.260] pronounced it wrong, but it's basically the smaller bowling ball.
[16:26.260 -> 16:28.360] Uh, and we're going to go do that somewhere as well.
[16:28.360 -> 16:29.840] We'll definitely get kicked out.
[16:29.840 -> 16:31.400] We'll definitely get kicked out.
[16:31.400 -> 16:36.320] This is only because you only know that because someone called us out on it on YouTube and
[16:36.320 -> 16:37.320] correct us.
[16:37.320 -> 16:42.260] My, my girlfriend was, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[16:42.260 -> 16:43.260] She is the German.
[16:43.260 -> 16:44.260] Oh yeah.
[16:44.260 -> 16:45.160] We can take her. She could be our translator. Yeah. You'll She is the German. She is. Oh yeah, we can take her.
[16:45.160 -> 16:46.400] She could be our translator.
[16:46.880 -> 16:48.120] Yeah, you'll be fine.
[16:48.440 -> 16:49.360] Hello.
[16:50.760 -> 16:51.520] Uh,
[16:52.600 -> 16:53.560] sausage.
[16:54.200 -> 16:55.440] Yeah, I'm gonna.
[16:55.640 -> 16:57.000] Yeah, I know.
[16:57.960 -> 17:00.160] Oh, but anyway, yeah, sorry.
[17:00.160 -> 17:05.320] So this I didn't realize until like middle of the week last week that it was a sprint
[17:05.320 -> 17:07.480] weekend and I was kind of deflated.
[17:07.480 -> 17:10.800] And I was like, I just checked out from Saturday, even though I did all the data analysis on
[17:10.800 -> 17:14.560] my, buy me a coffee on Saturday as well.
[17:14.560 -> 17:15.560] Let's talk about it.
[17:15.560 -> 17:18.480] So free practice, one session here, here's how it works.
[17:18.480 -> 17:19.480] You literally do Friday.
[17:19.480 -> 17:24.360] You've got one session and whatever set up you change at the end of free practice one,
[17:24.360 -> 17:25.960] that's your setup for the weekend.
[17:25.960 -> 17:26.960] Done.
[17:26.960 -> 17:27.960] Lock it in.
[17:27.960 -> 17:31.000] I had a chat with one of my engineering mates the other day and I'm like, because I don't
[17:31.000 -> 17:33.000] remember, I wasn't at the track for any sprint events.
[17:33.000 -> 17:34.680] I was like, how shit is it?
[17:34.680 -> 17:36.600] And he's like, it's kind of shit.
[17:36.600 -> 17:40.120] You just like you do your work one day and then the rest of the weekend is literally
[17:40.120 -> 17:45.360] operational monitoring, checking stuff, optimize, optimize, optimize, but you can't change anything.
[17:45.360 -> 17:48.640] You're literally just talking to your driver, working on the tools that you've programmed
[17:48.640 -> 17:53.680] into the car. And it's just like, this is not, you know, there's no time for tweaking
[17:53.680 -> 17:56.000] and dicking around. It's literally just running a race car.
[17:58.160 -> 18:04.560] Makes it fun though. I think I know I listen. Yeah. I know if you rewind a few episodes and
[18:07.600 -> 18:09.520] I think I know I listen, I know if you rewind a few episodes and I said, Oh, I don't like, I don't like removing free practice.
[18:09.520 -> 18:10.880] I like my free practice.
[18:10.880 -> 18:16.480] But you know, I admit when I'm wrong and I think this weekend was quite spicy because
[18:16.480 -> 18:19.280] of this limited setup window.
[18:19.280 -> 18:21.360] Oh, it's definitely, it's definitely good.
[18:21.360 -> 18:23.040] It definitely makes it interesting.
[18:23.040 -> 18:26.080] Like, you know, they should do the first couple weekends a year.
[18:26.080 -> 18:28.160] You get three free practice sessions
[18:28.160 -> 18:30.320] and after that sprint or not sprint,
[18:30.320 -> 18:32.200] you get like 1 1⁄2 free practice sessions.
[18:32.200 -> 18:33.760] Fuck it.
[18:33.760 -> 18:36.520] I agree it did.
[18:36.520 -> 18:38.360] Both qualifying sessions
[18:38.360 -> 18:39.600] through us a couple of curveballs
[18:39.600 -> 18:42.440] and we'll get into those now.
[18:42.440 -> 18:44.000] But I just feel like the sprint
[18:44.000 -> 18:45.600] we I don't want to go on about this isn't about
[18:45.600 -> 18:49.160] the sprint weekend. This is about track limits. We can talk about something else really fucking
[18:49.160 -> 18:54.920] boring that's so tedious and a farce about this sport, but I just like I don't need another
[18:54.920 -> 18:59.280] weekend, another whole day of a sprint and qualifying session. It's different. I just
[18:59.280 -> 19:00.280] don't need it.
[19:00.280 -> 19:04.200] I prefer the sprint format they're using now.
[19:04.200 -> 19:05.200] I do agree. To what're using now. I do, I agree.
[19:05.200 -> 19:06.200] To what they did before.
[19:06.200 -> 19:07.200] Yep.
[19:07.200 -> 19:09.640] But I'm still not a fan of sprints.
[19:09.640 -> 19:13.720] And hey look, if you are listening and you are, then good for you.
[19:13.720 -> 19:17.640] I'm not going to tell you what you should and shouldn't like, but I'm not a fan of it.
[19:17.640 -> 19:18.640] Yep, no that's fine.
[19:18.640 -> 19:23.840] And I think it's okay that everybody has their own opinions, as long as you understand that
[19:23.840 -> 19:24.840] you're fucking wrong.
[19:24.840 -> 19:30.000] Just kidding. has their own opinions as long as you understand that you're fucking wrong.
[19:30.000 -> 19:34.520] We're just kidding. No, I agree. I agree. People that enjoy the sprint weekend and now
[19:34.520 -> 19:39.320] tuned out. Yeah, exactly. See you later. Dorks.
[19:39.320 -> 19:47.140] God, you thought I was being, you thought I was being a dickhead and you go straight in with the knife in the back
[19:47.140 -> 19:48.220] of all three.
[19:48.220 -> 19:50.060] It's probably four to be honest with you.
[19:50.060 -> 19:52.060] Oh my God.
[19:52.060 -> 19:54.100] So yeah, right.
[19:54.100 -> 19:55.660] Friday, like forget practice.
[19:55.660 -> 19:56.980] Yeah, no gives a shit.
[19:56.980 -> 19:57.980] Random.
[19:57.980 -> 19:58.980] Let's go straight in qualifying.
[19:58.980 -> 19:59.980] Run us through.
[19:59.980 -> 20:00.980] What do we have?
[20:00.980 -> 20:01.980] All right.
[20:01.980 -> 20:02.980] Q1.
[20:02.980 -> 20:03.980] Boom.
[20:03.980 -> 20:04.980] Boom.
[20:04.980 -> 20:06.160] Straight away. All right, Q1 boom boom straight away, but I felt the need to
[20:08.200 -> 20:10.200] Red flag
[20:11.680 -> 20:13.560] The Q1 session
[20:13.560 -> 20:15.560] Because he decided to have a little spin a Rooney
[20:16.040 -> 20:19.720] And then he stalled it couldn't get it in gear and then finally got it
[20:19.720 -> 20:22.840] I got couldn't get it out of gear got it out of gear got it started and drove around
[20:22.840 -> 20:26.480] It's like the third time in a row we've had an early safety car.
[20:28.800 -> 20:29.760] Or an early interruption.
[20:29.760 -> 20:35.200] I'm sorry, we had a red flag and then it's just like, then there's that reason for the red flag
[20:35.200 -> 20:41.040] disappears. We had it in Canada, but I get it and I appreciate that they're not waiting too long to
[20:41.040 -> 20:44.400] just to make the call. Because it's like, this is going to be, this is going to be F'd, we should
[20:44.400 -> 20:45.280] red flag it instead of like waiting an age. He was parked on pit it's like, this is going to be after we should red flag it.
[20:45.280 -> 20:46.640] Instead of waiting an age.
[20:46.640 -> 20:49.040] He was parked on pit exit as well, which didn't help.
[20:49.040 -> 20:50.440] That wasn't really good.
[20:50.440 -> 20:56.120] But yeah, I like the trolling of wait for the red flag and then I can get the car moving by myself.
[20:56.120 -> 20:57.600] Classic.
[20:57.600 -> 20:59.840] And then they have to go through the whole fucking procedure.
[20:59.840 -> 21:01.560] It's like, ha ha ha.
[21:01.560 -> 21:04.200] Session will restart in 69 seconds.
[21:04.200 -> 21:04.960] Nice.
[21:04.960 -> 21:05.060] Yeah, but Q1 early on like session will restart in 69 seconds. Nice.
[21:05.460 -> 21:05.500] Yeah.
[21:12.040 -> 21:17.400] But Q1 early on showed us, uh, gave us a little taste of what was to come as we had a bunch of fucking laps slide to get deleted, uh, for track limits at T9 and T10.
[21:18.100 -> 21:18.420] Yeah.
[21:18.640 -> 21:22.420] Um, we had max had a lap deleted.
[21:23.240 -> 21:25.840] Um, but obviously, you know, he managed to
[21:27.040 -> 21:33.200] manage to get a good one in, but we lost Sonoda, Joe, Sergeant, Magnuson and De Vries.
[21:34.800 -> 21:37.200] De Vries really? I'm just kidding. I'm not.
[21:37.200 -> 21:41.360] Yeah, I know that comes as quite a shock. Even though I did see Marco there in a race suit,
[21:41.360 -> 21:43.440] I thought, fucking hell, that's a bit harsh.
[21:43.440 -> 21:44.000] That's bold.
[21:44.000 -> 21:47.520] Yes, that's a bit harsh to kick the free sound this soon.
[21:47.520 -> 21:50.120] Dr Marco, fine I'll do it myself.
[21:50.120 -> 21:52.480] I think that's more Toto but you know what I mean.
[21:52.480 -> 21:55.280] I think he could probably do it I reckon.
[21:55.280 -> 21:57.640] I reckon he's still got that dog in him.
[21:57.640 -> 21:58.640] You reckon?
[21:58.640 -> 22:00.280] Well Marco that's why he was there wasn't he?
[22:00.280 -> 22:02.120] He was driving one of his old cars I think.
[22:02.120 -> 22:03.680] Yeah that's super cool.
[22:03.680 -> 22:04.680] So yeah.
[22:04.680 -> 22:08.000] Q2 is a good one, speaking of getting knocked out.
[22:08.000 -> 22:10.160] Oh, Jesus fucking Christ.
[22:10.160 -> 22:13.040] Perez lost all three of his lap times.
[22:13.040 -> 22:13.840] No, dude.
[22:13.840 -> 22:17.120] And it was one of those things, it's like, it's frustrating because it's like he was
[22:17.120 -> 22:19.920] on the pace this week and his lap times were good.
[22:21.520 -> 22:24.400] They were good enough for P2 in every session, more or less.
[22:24.400 -> 22:29.340] And he just got that lot, track limits.
[22:29.340 -> 22:33.560] Get this man, get this man out of my car.
[22:33.560 -> 22:36.240] Perez, you are stinking up the joint.
[22:36.240 -> 22:38.520] You've not been in Q3 since Miami.
[22:38.520 -> 22:40.520] What is going on, son?
[22:40.520 -> 22:45.600] Dr. Marco is going around to the paddock and I'm telling you he's doing a two-for-one deal.
[22:45.600 -> 22:46.600] He's saying, do you want Perez?
[22:46.600 -> 22:49.600] I can chuck DeVries in for free if you want to all the other teams.
[22:49.600 -> 22:52.200] It's a two-for-one deal.
[22:52.200 -> 22:53.400] Hmm.
[22:53.400 -> 22:54.600] Struggle.
[22:55.900 -> 22:56.700] Struggle.
[22:56.700 -> 22:57.800] I don't know Perez.
[22:57.800 -> 23:00.200] You're running out of excuses son.
[23:00.200 -> 23:03.800] I don't care if you did well on Sunday and got on the podium.
[23:03.800 -> 23:05.480] You're not covering up
[23:05.480 -> 23:07.560] that stinker of a Saturday.
[23:07.560 -> 23:12.280] Well, I mean, realistically looking at the race, we'll come back to it, but yeah, he
[23:12.280 -> 23:16.520] would have, he would have finished P2 or P3 and it was good that he had a good recovery
[23:16.520 -> 23:17.520] drive.
[23:17.520 -> 23:20.400] Otherwise I would have been, I would have been sad, big sad, but uh, what else?
[23:20.400 -> 23:23.480] Russell, Ocon, Piastri, Bottas and Perez out in Q2.
[23:23.480 -> 23:26.440] Uh, yeah, well, what the hell was happening with Russell?
[23:26.440 -> 23:28.440] Didn't he have some car issues?
[23:28.440 -> 23:34.200] I I'll come back to it, but I think I think both Mercedes and Assen
[23:34.800 -> 23:37.400] something was up this weekend and had a little look.
[23:37.400 -> 23:40.360] See, yeah, Albon.
[23:41.520 -> 23:42.760] Albon gets into Q3.
[23:42.760 -> 23:44.920] Hell yeah, the Albon hype train continues.
[23:46.920 -> 23:48.920] Choo choo. Can we get a choo choo? I don't have a choo choo, I can give you this though.
[23:48.920 -> 23:50.920] Oh good.
[23:50.920 -> 23:52.920] I'm into that.
[23:52.920 -> 23:54.920] Yeah, we can have that.
[23:57.920 -> 24:00.920] Sorry, yeah, Albon smashes it into Q3.
[24:00.920 -> 24:03.920] Only finishes P10, but that's not a point, it's a Williams.
[24:03.920 -> 24:08.000] Yeah, Williams in Q3 right now?
[24:08.000 -> 24:12.000] Stonks. Yeah, and he's becoming more renka.
[24:12.000 -> 24:16.000] He's impressing me a lot. I always knew he was a solid driver
[24:16.000 -> 24:20.000] and it's just like, yeah, every weekend he's on the good books.
[24:20.000 -> 24:24.000] Yeah, Alvin's stocks are going up. Invest now.
[24:24.000 -> 24:27.000] Stonks. How long is he tied into Williams?
[24:27.000 -> 24:33.000] That is a very good question. I would imagine, again this is a complete guess,
[24:33.000 -> 24:37.000] probably two years, but the second year is an option, I'd imagine.
[24:37.000 -> 24:38.000] Okay.
[24:38.000 -> 24:43.000] Again, who knows, but where else is he going to go?
[24:43.000 -> 24:47.720] I think he deserves, you know, a shot maybe in another team.
[24:47.720 -> 24:51.400] He won't be Red Bull, I think both parties there
[24:51.400 -> 24:53.900] are pretty happy not to continue that ever again.
[24:56.800 -> 24:58.320] But you know, if Alvin keeps performing,
[24:58.320 -> 25:01.840] he might end up sort of ending up somewhere else
[25:01.840 -> 25:04.920] a bit more ambitious, I don't know, who knows.
[25:04.920 -> 25:06.800] Let him have Carlos's seat.
[25:06.900 -> 25:08.000] Stick him in the Ferrari.
[25:08.300 -> 25:08.600] Yeah.
[25:08.600 -> 25:09.400] Ferrari.
[25:10.400 -> 25:11.800] Ah, maybe.
[25:11.800 -> 25:12.400] I don't know.
[25:12.500 -> 25:15.400] Did he not drive a Ferrari DTM car?
[25:16.500 -> 25:17.000] Was it a Ferrari?
[25:17.000 -> 25:19.400] I don't think it was a factory job if it was.
[25:19.500 -> 25:20.000] Ah.
[25:20.400 -> 25:23.200] So you still had the badge on the front, even if it was covered in
[25:23.200 -> 25:24.400] Alpha Tauri logos.
[25:25.560 -> 25:29.520] Yeah, fine. Yeah, we're not keeping it chill.
[25:29.520 -> 25:33.560] Speaking of Ferrari, Leclerc, only 50,000ths off of pole.
[25:33.560 -> 25:39.800] That is the closest they've been since, well, they were on pole last, but usually they've
[25:39.800 -> 25:43.880] had a couple of runs of not being that close to pole, but it looks like the Ferrari might
[25:43.880 -> 25:47.060] be hooking up a little bit, especially on this circuit and they did.
[25:47.060 -> 25:47.340] Okay.
[25:47.340 -> 25:48.580] They did well here last year.
[25:48.580 -> 25:52.180] And I know like oil down why a car does well, that's
[25:52.180 -> 25:53.500] completely different to last year.
[25:53.740 -> 25:54.740] Dare you, you can't.
[25:55.340 -> 25:59.820] Um, yeah, Ferrari have these brief glimpses where they'll
[25:59.820 -> 26:01.720] nail the one lap performance.
[26:02.800 -> 26:06.400] Um, but then it doesn't always translate into race pace.
[26:06.400 -> 26:09.200] Especially not the last couple of years.
[26:09.200 -> 26:12.000] Yeah, no, I think that's a very fair assessment.
[26:12.000 -> 26:14.800] Yeah, but props to Ferrari, they looked quick.
[26:14.800 -> 26:15.800] Alright, alright.
[26:15.800 -> 26:16.800] Alright, alright.
[26:16.800 -> 26:21.400] Speaking of people looking quick, yeah, go for it.
[26:21.400 -> 26:25.120] No, no, send it, because i think we're both kind of on this
[26:28.960 -> 26:30.880] i'm feeling it send it pick up the lando norris mclaren upgrade train
[26:35.440 -> 26:40.320] yeah is it true that piastri didn't have the upgraded parts on his car this weekend correct so the story as i understand it is they were both due to have the upgrades in silverstone
[26:40.320 -> 26:45.640] but they got one set completed early so they gave it to Lando for this race.
[26:45.640 -> 26:47.200] Yeah, send it out, get it out there early.
[26:47.200 -> 26:48.280] It's another advantage.
[26:48.280 -> 26:50.800] It's not necessarily fair, but in the long run,
[26:50.800 -> 26:54.360] they will both, they'll also,
[26:54.360 -> 26:55.680] they'll both learn from that.
[26:55.680 -> 26:57.000] The team will benefit from that.
[26:57.000 -> 26:59.680] Get it out there early, even if it's not fair.
[26:59.680 -> 27:01.360] Piastri had a kind of a crap weekend anyway,
[27:01.360 -> 27:04.360] so I'm glad Lando was running the fast bits.
[27:04.360 -> 27:05.400] Ferrari looking good, but yeah, we'll'm glad Lando was running the fast bits. Ferrari looking
[27:05.400 -> 27:10.600] good but. Yeah, we'll get back onto the race pace in a minute, and we had another sprint
[27:10.600 -> 27:14.240] session or sprint quality session to go through, but one thing I noticed, I talked about this
[27:14.240 -> 27:19.640] extensively on the Internet on Waffling about data stuff, going into qualifying Verstappen
[27:19.640 -> 27:28.360] had not run a soft tire yet, and a couple of drivers had not done that. His first run was about three quarters of a second faster than any other driver.
[27:28.360 -> 27:30.080] And this reminds me what I remembered about Max.
[27:30.080 -> 27:34.080] He would just go out in the middle of free practice one and he would just be destroying
[27:34.080 -> 27:37.880] the car or setting a fast lap time right out of the box, whereas all the other drivers
[27:37.880 -> 27:41.120] I had seen and his teammate at the time, Daniel, you just kind of build up to it through the
[27:41.120 -> 27:42.120] weekend.
[27:42.120 -> 27:43.640] It's like, right, I don't need to fucking kill myself here.
[27:43.640 -> 27:47.160] But he gets so quickly onto the pace when the balance is good.
[27:47.600 -> 27:48.040] He's flying.
[27:48.040 -> 27:51.320] It was his first time to fit soft and he's three quarters
[27:51.320 -> 27:52.400] a second faster than anybody else.
[27:52.400 -> 27:56.280] You don't get any prize for being P1 in the first qualifying session, but.
[27:56.720 -> 28:00.200] He only found just over half a second between his first and last run of the
[28:00.200 -> 28:03.960] session, whereas everybody else was finding a second and a half from the
[28:03.960 -> 28:05.960] start of Q1 to the end of Q3.
[28:05.960 -> 28:07.560] He just went out there bonkers.
[28:07.560 -> 28:12.160] You look at it, all the breaking zones, he was like half a tenth faster at the end.
[28:12.160 -> 28:15.600] And then he found, you know, like a tenth or two through all the high speed corners.
[28:15.600 -> 28:16.600] And that was it.
[28:16.600 -> 28:17.600] Like, that was it.
[28:17.600 -> 28:21.220] Yeah, he lost some lap times, but he was so close on the limit.
[28:21.220 -> 28:22.840] He just had so much confidence to play with.
[28:22.840 -> 28:29.340] And I think that was one of his things this weekend is the amount of confidence we had. We'll come back to that on another level.
[28:29.340 -> 28:36.640] Performance wise though, here's something weird. Mercedes gap to pole was the exact
[28:36.640 -> 28:40.520] same as Mercedes gap to pole at the beginning of the season.
[28:40.520 -> 28:41.920] In percentage of lap time.
[28:41.920 -> 28:45.200] Yeah. So it's a shorter lap, but that's percentage of lap time.
[28:45.200 -> 28:47.680] Honestly, this weekend was an underperformance
[28:47.680 -> 28:48.500] for Mercedes.
[28:48.500 -> 28:49.340] They had trouble with the car.
[28:49.340 -> 28:51.280] Lewis was obviously not happy with it.
[28:51.280 -> 28:52.680] Frey were close again,
[28:52.680 -> 28:54.880] and we'll talk about the race pace in a minute.
[28:54.880 -> 28:56.880] McLaren are three events in a row
[28:56.880 -> 28:59.760] while their qualifying performance is top three fastest
[28:59.760 -> 29:01.540] in terms of outright pace.
[29:01.540 -> 29:04.280] They hadn't been having good races until this weekend.
[29:05.960 -> 29:10.080] Aston's on the third race in a row of a qualifying slump, but I looked at the data and I was
[29:10.080 -> 29:17.400] like, why on earth is Fernando so bad breaking into turn three and a little bit bad into
[29:17.400 -> 29:23.800] turn four. It's like, what's going on. I think they might've had a little bit of a setup
[29:23.800 -> 29:26.280] do do on Friday going into qualifying
[29:26.280 -> 29:30.840] and they just locked it in and that was it. Because I've never seen Fernando or the Aston
[29:30.840 -> 29:36.900] that shit on straight line braking. It's not a thing they have so much downforce on that
[29:36.900 -> 29:42.560] car and typically drag. They weren't too slow in a straight line either, but we'll see.
[29:42.560 -> 29:46.800] Any thoughts on that?
[29:46.800 -> 29:52.720] Interesting that even after Mercedes big upgrade, it might just be an outlier this race, but
[29:52.720 -> 29:58.920] the gap remains the same. So that's, yeah, I'm sure they're thrilled about that.
[29:58.920 -> 30:02.120] And Austria is one of those tracks, I remember in the past at Red Bull, like we'd go well
[30:02.120 -> 30:07.480] some years and some years not. And I just remember the funniest thing.
[30:07.480 -> 30:09.520] So it's all right-hand corners, right?
[30:09.520 -> 30:12.360] Except for the two left-hand high-speed corners.
[30:12.360 -> 30:16.840] And I remember this argument between aero people and tire people, not at Red Bull, at
[30:16.840 -> 30:19.260] my previous team back in the day.
[30:19.260 -> 30:24.720] And they were like, yeah, the reason we're slow is we're not putting any tires or any
[30:24.720 -> 30:25.800] heat in the tires on the
[30:25.800 -> 30:27.400] right hand side of the car.
[30:27.400 -> 30:30.320] It's like you mean just like everybody else?
[30:30.320 -> 30:32.800] Because, you know, we're like we're like on the same circuit as everybody else.
[30:32.800 -> 30:33.800] This isn't a special.
[30:33.800 -> 30:39.160] I just like in my head, I go back to that and I have one of those James Fowles moments
[30:39.160 -> 30:40.160] where he's like.
[30:40.160 -> 30:44.520] You fucking idiots didn't need to take pictures of the underside of the car to see that it's
[30:44.520 -> 30:45.860] slow. You can just look at the lap of the car to see that it's slow.
[30:45.860 -> 30:49.240] You can just look at the lap times every weekend to understand that it's slow.
[30:49.240 -> 30:52.080] You didn't need to know that like we're not very good in high speed corners.
[30:52.080 -> 30:56.000] We don't have any fucking downforce on the car, right Barry?
[30:56.000 -> 30:57.000] Tell him Barry.
[30:57.000 -> 30:58.000] He agrees.
[30:58.000 -> 30:59.000] But yeah.
[30:59.000 -> 31:02.000] Barry the Aerocat, ladies and gentlemen.
[31:02.000 -> 31:05.000] Should we just run like quickly rattle through the sprint qualifying?
[31:05.000 -> 31:10.000] Because I feel uncomfortable giving that much attention to the sprint shootout.
[31:10.000 -> 31:13.000] Uh, sure, whatever.
[31:13.000 -> 31:16.000] Sprint qualifying won, Hamilton out.
[31:16.000 -> 31:17.000] What the fuck happened?
[31:17.000 -> 31:21.000] What was, okay, somebody that knows better than me, please elaborate,
[31:21.000 -> 31:28.900] because I did not watch Saturday in detail. It looked like I went, I did go back and watch the two on boards and
[31:28.900 -> 31:30.100] I couldn't tell what was going on.
[31:30.700 -> 31:33.580] So there was the incident that everybody lost their shit
[31:33.580 -> 31:35.220] about Max impeding Lewis.
[31:36.500 -> 31:37.460] I forgot about that.
[31:37.940 -> 31:38.220] Yeah.
[31:38.460 -> 31:42.920] So I was at Carton during that and then everyone was sitting around
[31:42.920 -> 31:45.800] watching it on their phone and I was like, oh what are you fucking doing?
[31:45.800 -> 31:48.600] And I was like, nah, Max was fully in the right to do that.
[31:48.600 -> 31:50.200] I was just sitting there trolling everyone.
[31:50.200 -> 31:51.400] I was like, good on you, Max.
[31:51.400 -> 31:52.400] Good on you, Max.
[31:52.400 -> 31:53.400] Yeah, fucking.
[31:53.400 -> 31:54.400] Trolling everyone.
[31:54.400 -> 31:58.720] But here's, here's what I saw and I don't like, I know I didn't see the whole thing.
[31:58.720 -> 32:01.880] I didn't hear the comms from the engineers.
[32:01.880 -> 32:07.440] Basically Max was finishing a lap and Lewis was finishing a lap. And Lewis was starting a lap. So they're
[32:07.440 -> 32:14.280] coming through the final two high-speed right-hand corners. Lewis is having a conversation with
[32:14.280 -> 32:20.080] Bono and they're back and forth like, okay, go, okay, go, okay, go now. And he sends Lewis
[32:20.080 -> 32:26.700] out, such that Max comes up on him as he's exiting the final corner.
[32:26.700 -> 32:29.220] How much it impeded him, I do not know.
[32:29.220 -> 32:33.940] But I can't tell if Max kept his foot in it or if he was doing two push.
[32:33.940 -> 32:38.180] Ah, two warm-up laps.
[32:38.180 -> 32:39.500] Two push laps in a row.
[32:39.500 -> 32:40.900] Funny you should say that.
[32:40.900 -> 32:42.500] It was sprint qualifying one.
[32:42.500 -> 32:46.900] Joe had a spin in one of them and he did say that there was
[32:46.900 -> 32:52.060] not enough heat in the tires after one warmup lap.
[32:52.060 -> 32:54.900] So that would track with that theory.
[32:54.900 -> 32:57.480] I don't, I don't know, but it looks like Max.
[32:57.480 -> 32:58.980] You want to get all technical about it.
[32:58.980 -> 33:03.620] I personally just think Max is fucking bored and he just wanted to try and get a penalty
[33:03.620 -> 33:08.480] to spice his weekend up. No, but it was one of two things.
[33:08.520 -> 33:13.200] It was either spite, which I totally don't, I totally understand.
[33:14.120 -> 33:17.160] I don't condone it was spite or he was doing too push.
[33:17.200 -> 33:20.360] And if he just kind of blocked Lewis, cause Lewis blocked him.
[33:21.040 -> 33:22.080] That's a little bit crap.
[33:22.120 -> 33:22.400] And on.
[33:22.680 -> 33:22.920] Yeah.
[33:22.960 -> 33:28.880] Or you can subscribe to my theory where Max is bored and he just wanted to time travel to 2021 and spice it up again.
[33:29.360 -> 33:30.080] Exactly.
[33:30.480 -> 33:30.840] Hmm.
[33:31.800 -> 33:35.800] Yeah, but like, why not just give them both a penalty if that's a thing?
[33:35.800 -> 33:39.480] But or or we could do this thing where we don't give people penalties.
[33:40.520 -> 33:42.240] Ha ha, I'll never catch on.
[33:42.760 -> 33:44.680] Ah, you get a penalty.
[33:44.680 -> 33:46.320] We got lots of penalties coming this weekend.
[33:46.320 -> 33:48.720] Sprint qualifying 2.
[33:48.720 -> 33:49.720] What happened to Russell's car?
[33:49.720 -> 33:51.040] He has car issues and doesn't set a time.
[33:51.040 -> 33:54.320] Yeah, I think there was an issue with his brakes because the front end was off and they
[33:54.320 -> 33:57.280] were messing around with the reservoirs at the front.
[33:57.280 -> 34:01.280] They never got out to set a lap.
[34:01.280 -> 34:02.280] That's not good.
[34:02.280 -> 34:07.840] Hulkenberg runs over his rear tire in the pit lane.
[34:07.840 -> 34:13.460] I'm really surprised at how much air that car got, and how uninjured everyone appeared
[34:13.460 -> 34:14.460] to be.
[34:14.460 -> 34:19.200] Yeah, you should imagine, you see a Formula 1 car, like it's got the lowrider hydraulics
[34:19.200 -> 34:23.080] on it, launching down the pit lane.
[34:23.080 -> 34:24.080] Barry would freak out.
[34:24.080 -> 34:29.000] Yeah, I mean, I was very impressed that, like I say, like I say a how much height you got and b no one was hurt.
[34:29.000 -> 34:30.000] Yeah.
[34:30.000 -> 34:35.000] So yeah well done to Haas for that bit of SQ2 entertainment.
[34:35.000 -> 34:41.000] Speaking of Haas, Nico Hulkenberg P4 in SQ3.
[34:41.000 -> 34:47.400] Yeah and again once again proving that my earlier in the season slander of
[34:47.400 -> 34:49.760] Hulkenberg returning to F1 was unfounded.
[34:50.440 -> 34:50.640] Yeah.
[34:50.640 -> 34:51.880] Completely unjustified.
[34:51.880 -> 34:53.200] Did you sign the apology letter yet?
[34:53.280 -> 34:53.800] No, I'm not.
[34:53.800 -> 34:54.280] I know.
[34:54.360 -> 34:55.440] No, I'm a fraud.
[34:55.440 -> 34:56.720] I won't admit to my mistakes.
[34:57.680 -> 34:58.240] You just did.
[34:59.560 -> 35:00.000] Shit.
[35:00.360 -> 35:01.280] We'll let it out.
[35:02.640 -> 35:03.720] Uh, another one.
[35:04.160 -> 35:09.780] Uh, Sir, Sir Lando Norris, Norris P3, Sergio Perez P2.
[35:09.780 -> 35:11.940] Half a second off a Max, but a P2 nonetheless.
[35:11.940 -> 35:16.100] Max was literally on a different level the entire, the entire thing.
[35:16.100 -> 35:18.300] We just lose your camera there?
[35:18.300 -> 35:20.740] Yes, we did just lose my camera.
[35:20.740 -> 35:22.540] Make some stuff up while I fix it.
[35:22.540 -> 35:24.660] Well, we're going to, well Dan's fixing his camera.
[35:24.660 -> 35:27.100] We're going to keep, we're going to keep talking.
[35:27.100 -> 35:28.100] So um…
[35:28.100 -> 35:33.100] That completely threw you off didn't it?
[35:33.100 -> 35:34.100] No, that's okay.
[35:34.100 -> 35:40.140] But the one thing that I noticed this weekend, right, is that, okay, Lewis was scrapping
[35:40.140 -> 35:47.120] for track position in sprint qualifying one. One thing I noticed, Red Bull were out front
[35:47.120 -> 35:52.640] queuing every qualifying session to be at the front of the pack, which means they're out earlier
[35:52.640 -> 35:56.880] than you would like to be for track improvement, but you don't have to, like you get priority in
[35:56.880 -> 36:01.440] terms of dealing with your gaps and everything else. And it gives you a clean opportunity to
[36:01.440 -> 36:06.860] set a banker at the start of the session, which we're starting to remember more and more.
[36:06.860 -> 36:08.760] This is super important to get your banker in.
[36:08.760 -> 36:10.460] And that's some big brains.
[36:10.460 -> 36:14.260] They're not fully optimizing pace,
[36:14.260 -> 36:15.840] but they're making sure they get a good lap in
[36:15.840 -> 36:17.920] and they know that the car should have a gap
[36:17.920 -> 36:19.440] to everyone else.
[36:19.440 -> 36:21.760] Interestingly, the Ferrari didn't show up this session,
[36:21.760 -> 36:22.600] which is weird.
[36:23.560 -> 36:24.880] And another thing is,
[36:24.880 -> 36:29.840] there was only one team that went faster than
[36:29.840 -> 36:31.320] qualifying in sprint qualifying.
[36:31.640 -> 36:32.080] Who was it?
[36:33.800 -> 36:37.400] Uh, I'm going to take a wild guess because, uh, your show notes are definitely
[36:37.400 -> 36:39.720] not open in front of me and I'm going to guess McLaren.
[36:40.480 -> 36:41.240] No, it was.
[36:42.280 -> 36:42.840] Oh, okay.
[36:43.200 -> 36:43.480] Oh yeah.
[36:43.480 -> 36:43.840] That's a good thing.
[36:43.840 -> 36:44.400] You can't read.
[36:50.000 -> 36:51.000] Listen, I copied the homework, but I didn't understand the assignment. Exactly.
[36:51.000 -> 36:52.000] We nailed it.
[36:52.000 -> 36:54.840] So Haas actually went fast and they didn't sprint qualifying, or they didn't qualify,
[36:54.840 -> 36:56.520] so that was good.
[36:56.520 -> 36:58.640] But Frey dropped back quite a bit.
[36:58.640 -> 37:00.920] I'm not sure what happened there operationally.
[37:00.920 -> 37:09.600] McLaren in sprint qualifying was the second fastest car, a percent off of pole, but that's kind of where everybody else was. Paris was just ahead of them anyway.
[37:09.600 -> 37:15.880] Um, no, but super interesting. Mercedes and Alfa Romeo had shockers in FP one. I mean,
[37:15.880 -> 37:21.600] okay, Lewis not getting a lap in that sucks. Russell having car issues that's not on them.
[37:21.600 -> 37:24.720] That's just one of those shit things that happened. You have a shit weekend every now
[37:24.720 -> 37:25.800] and then, but let's move on them. That's just one of those shit things that happen. You have a shit weekend every now and then, but.
[37:26.640 -> 37:29.600] Let's move on to the sprint race Saturday afternoon.
[37:29.800 -> 37:31.240] The spicy sprint.
[37:31.760 -> 37:32.080] Yeah.
[37:32.280 -> 37:33.680] Salsa, picante, sprinto.
[37:35.720 -> 37:35.960] Yeah.
[37:35.960 -> 37:42.160] We saw, um, some civil war inter, inter-team acts of terrorism at the
[37:42.160 -> 37:44.280] race start between Max and Checo.
[37:49.440 -> 37:56.640] inter-team acts of terrorism at the race start between Max and Checo. Max or Perez got a better start. It was a really good start. Yeah and you know Perez, is it Perez that got pushed onto the
[37:56.640 -> 38:06.960] grass or Max? I've forgotten already. So Perez, Max was on the inside and Perez was on the outside after turn one.
[38:06.960 -> 38:14.160] Perez moved over to do some intimidation and that resulted in Max actually on the grass.
[38:14.160 -> 38:16.800] I don't really think Checo's trying to put his teammate in the grass.
[38:16.800 -> 38:17.800] It's just misjudged.
[38:17.800 -> 38:18.800] I don't know.
[38:18.800 -> 38:19.800] Maybe he did.
[38:19.800 -> 38:20.800] Who knows?
[38:20.800 -> 38:25.920] But going into turn three, Max looks like he drives straight on to kind of like do the
[38:25.920 -> 38:27.520] old Rossberg move, right?
[38:27.520 -> 38:35.080] If you watch the onboard, I don't know, I'm watching that onboard, right?
[38:35.080 -> 38:37.860] And I see him making all sorts of huge corrections.
[38:37.860 -> 38:41.520] That looks like one of those things when you get a nasty rear lock and the thing's about
[38:41.520 -> 38:47.880] to come around, unless you back out of it. So you either end up collecting cars or you kind of park it and
[38:47.880 -> 38:48.820] go straight and recollect it.
[38:49.100 -> 38:53.560] If you watch the formation lap, Checo did the exact same thing on his formation
[38:53.560 -> 38:55.800] lap when he wasn't racing anybody.
[38:57.240 -> 39:01.360] Listen, I think Max is so good that he can make it look like an accident.
[39:01.920 -> 39:06.960] Probably fully intended Max to go for Checo to go into row 12 in the stands.
[39:07.020 -> 39:09.600] He was like, listen, you can go sit out there and watch the race.
[39:09.600 -> 39:10.220] Get out of it.
[39:11.920 -> 39:15.200] It's like, I'm leaving you by 20 seconds and 24 laps.
[39:15.200 -> 39:16.880] So, uh, piss off mate.
[39:18.620 -> 39:22.900] And then, uh, he gave him a little squeeze at turn four, but we saw a lot of
[39:22.900 -> 39:25.320] squeezes all week in there, especially turn four is sketchy on the outside. You don't want to be on the outside of turn four, but we saw a lot of squeezes all week in there, especially turn four is
[39:25.320 -> 39:26.320] sketchy on the outside.
[39:26.320 -> 39:28.520] You don't want to be on the outside of turn four.
[39:28.520 -> 39:30.160] Checo learned that the hard way last year.
[39:30.160 -> 39:32.520] Alexander Albarn has learned that many times.
[39:32.520 -> 39:35.560] Albarn, Korn Arena, exit turn four.
[39:35.560 -> 39:36.560] Oof.
[39:36.560 -> 39:41.600] All right, maybe, maybe it was, but I don't know.
[39:41.600 -> 39:45.160] And listen, good for Max.
[39:50.660 -> 39:50.680] I'm fucking tired of everyone like, Oh, these drivers should all be gentlemen.
[39:51.660 -> 39:51.680] No, fuck that.
[39:52.880 -> 39:53.240] They're the best in the world.
[39:55.320 -> 39:55.380] Let them be complete bastards.
[39:57.160 -> 39:57.780] I want to see terrorism.
[40:00.800 -> 40:00.840] I want to see people actually fighting for race wins.
[40:03.360 -> 40:03.720] I listen, give it all to me.
[40:05.720 -> 40:09.800] Um, I don't want to watch a parade lap. I don't want to watch, Ooh, what he turned in on him.
[40:09.800 -> 40:12.880] No, just be bastards.
[40:12.880 -> 40:15.640] Formula bastard is what I want.
[40:15.640 -> 40:17.960] But I feel like these kinds of things make it great.
[40:17.960 -> 40:22.280] And everybody's like, like some of the stuff like debris during the race at three, six,
[40:22.280 -> 40:24.320] seven, that is a fucking penalty.
[40:24.320 -> 40:30.040] Like literally full yeeted. Who waseted who was it into the gravel.
[40:30.040 -> 40:31.040] That was bad.
[40:31.040 -> 40:32.300] That was not ideal.
[40:32.300 -> 40:35.800] But like everything else, yeah fuck it.
[40:35.800 -> 40:41.000] I get it yeah let him race and it's also like a lap 1 thing as well.
[40:41.000 -> 40:46.800] I think it was a fucking huge rear lock and you have to collect that or you end up sideways and we don't want that but
[40:47.600 -> 40:50.040] Norris loses out and drops from p3
[40:50.920 -> 40:53.940] To p10. Yeah, no, no, it's really lost out on that one
[40:55.200 -> 40:59.880] He looked like he went into an east all trying to avoid max and check her in front of him
[40:59.880 -> 41:03.640] And then of course everyone just fucking drives past him like he'd put the brakes on
[41:04.280 -> 41:06.300] hmm Hulkenberg makes his way up to p2 briefly And then of course everyone just fucking drives past him like he'd put the brakes on.
[41:09.100 -> 41:11.400] Hulkenberg makes his way up to P2 briefly. Paris struggles to get past him.
[41:11.400 -> 41:14.300] And then Hulkenberg falls away, pits for medium.
[41:15.400 -> 41:20.300] But again, listen, again, following on from my Czechoslander,
[41:20.300 -> 41:23.000] I'm going to bring you some more now while you sit there and take a little sip
[41:23.000 -> 41:24.800] out of your sippy cup.
[41:24.800 -> 41:28.120] Okay. I'm going to bring you some more now while you sit there and take a little sip out of your sippy cup.
[41:33.400 -> 41:33.920] The RB19 is an absolute beast and we can see that because Max
[41:35.840 -> 41:38.500] managed to make such a gap. He got a free pit stop just for the bants in the race.
[41:40.040 -> 41:43.600] Sergio Perez, why is it taking you 11 laps to get past a fucking Haas?
[41:47.460 -> 41:49.000] I'm sorry. Oh, come on, son
[41:53.500 -> 41:53.980] Yeah, pick a little pace this isn't the book this isn't like a mid mid-tier car
[41:58.920 -> 42:00.200] The rb19 I could throw destroy him. I could drive that quickly and I'm shit
[42:11.280 -> 42:16.100] And you're powerfully built as well. Exactly. I couldn't even feel it. I'll still do a better job But Hulkenberg Hulkenberg pits for medium and people like why do you pit for a medium?
[42:16.400 -> 42:21.200] You didn't have a new soft at that point. They'd blown all their softs in a sprint qualifying
[42:21.760 -> 42:26.840] So rather than fit a used slightly used soft, they reckon a medium,
[42:26.840 -> 42:32.460] the reckon a medium would have been all right there. But during the sprint, half the field
[42:32.460 -> 42:37.760] start gambling on the dry tires. And there's like what, six laps to go to the end. I think
[42:37.760 -> 42:45.280] Russell pits on lap 15. Yeah, I thought it was very interesting. Governor, governor was like, uh,
[42:46.080 -> 42:46.560] Oh,
[42:46.880 -> 42:47.120] oh,
[42:47.120 -> 42:47.600] block me.
[42:47.600 -> 42:49.880] We should be spitting for some new tires, mate.
[42:50.040 -> 42:51.440] It's dry.
[42:52.200 -> 42:53.680] It's Tuesday, isn't it?
[42:55.440 -> 42:56.920] So George, George is on the radio.
[42:56.920 -> 42:57.880] He's like, let's do something different.
[42:57.880 -> 42:58.720] We're out of the points.
[42:58.720 -> 43:02.200] Let's throw on a dry tire and see if we can go, because the track did have a dry line.
[43:02.600 -> 43:09.120] But the best sector one and two looked pretty dry. Sector three looks still damp. And if you're offline in sector three, you're in big
[43:09.120 -> 43:15.840] trouble. Um, that being said, I mean, it wasn't, it wasn't a disaster. Let me pull up my little
[43:15.840 -> 43:20.480] notes here, but I mean, my question around this, sorry, why are you putting up your notes was
[43:21.520 -> 43:25.580] like, obviously we didn't see the top four or whatever it was.
[43:25.580 -> 43:27.420] They all stayed in their intermediates to the end.
[43:27.420 -> 43:32.780] And I just sort of think, why would you not just stay on your intermediates?
[43:32.900 -> 43:37.700] Surely the lap time you've lost from staying on the intermediates isn't
[43:38.000 -> 43:41.820] greater than the pit stop time that you've lost.
[43:41.820 -> 43:42.620] Does that make sense?
[43:43.020 -> 43:43.300] Yeah.
[43:44.060 -> 43:45.760] I mean, obviously, it was a gamble.
[43:45.760 -> 43:49.200] Maybe, because a lot of smarter people than me obviously made that decision, but I just
[43:49.200 -> 43:50.520] thought it was very strange.
[43:50.520 -> 44:02.400] Right. So the only person in the, let's say, the only person in the top nine up until that
[44:02.400 -> 44:05.600] point that had pit was Hululkenberg and Hulkenberg
[44:05.600 -> 44:06.800] was dropping off a cliff,
[44:06.800 -> 44:09.280] so he was in the cheeky P2 for a bit.
[44:09.280 -> 44:10.080] He fought Perez.
[44:10.080 -> 44:11.560] He couldn't hang on to it.
[44:11.560 -> 44:13.480] Looks like he burned up to his tires
[44:13.480 -> 44:15.720] by lap 16 or 17. He's like I'm screwed.
[44:15.720 -> 44:16.520] I'm falling back.
[44:16.520 -> 44:18.040] The Aston's going to catch me.
[44:18.040 -> 44:19.360] I've got nothing to lose.
[44:19.360 -> 44:20.720] Let's check that on now.
[44:20.720 -> 44:22.560] Russell Russell's running around in P11
[44:22.560 -> 44:24.680] and he's like we there's only points
[44:24.680 -> 44:25.800] in the sprint race down to P8. he's like, there's only points in
[44:25.800 -> 44:27.040] the sprint race down to P8.
[44:27.040 -> 44:29.080] He's like, fuck it, let's try something.
[44:29.080 -> 44:30.760] The track is getting close to condition.
[44:30.760 -> 44:35.440] So his first lap was basically faster than the rest of the field, but still slower than
[44:35.440 -> 44:36.440] Max.
[44:36.440 -> 44:41.800] His second lap was nearly a second faster than Max was going at that time.
[44:41.800 -> 44:45.620] And Max is on a intermediate, which is dropping off its pace.
[44:48.760 -> 44:50.120] Not really, it's still getting,
[44:50.120 -> 44:52.200] Max was still going faster on his enter,
[44:52.200 -> 44:56.920] but still a couple laps later, he's nearly a second.
[44:56.920 -> 45:00.040] He's over two seconds a lap faster, you know,
[45:00.040 -> 45:00.880] two laps later.
[45:00.880 -> 45:03.880] So, you know, it was drawing, it was ready.
[45:03.880 -> 45:05.480] And it was just like, what's gonna happen to other people? Are other people gonna burn up their enters? We can take advantage of it. And when you know, it was drawing, it was ready. And it was just like, what's going to happen to other people?
[45:05.480 -> 45:07.000] Are other people going to burn up their enters?
[45:07.180 -> 45:08.080] We can take advantage of it.
[45:08.080 -> 45:10.800] And when you're outside of the points, there's not that many points to play with
[45:10.800 -> 45:11.960] anyway, gamble it.
[45:11.960 -> 45:15.120] Hulkenberg didn't have the pace and he burned up his tires massively.
[45:15.640 -> 45:16.600] Uh, but everybody else.
[45:17.320 -> 45:18.160] It makes sense.
[45:18.400 -> 45:18.960] It was a sprint.
[45:19.200 -> 45:20.120] It was fun to watch.
[45:20.360 -> 45:21.480] Yeah, no, yeah, it was fun.
[45:21.520 -> 45:27.920] I just, I just had the question because I don't personally believe that the time lost.
[45:27.920 -> 45:32.160] It was great.
[45:32.160 -> 45:37.480] It didn't pan out, but it could have, I mean, I get it if you're George Russell and you
[45:37.480 -> 45:39.080] just want to shit house a couple of points.
[45:39.080 -> 45:40.080] Why not?
[45:40.080 -> 45:49.400] But yeah, I think looking at that, if the track were ready three laps sooner, it would have
[45:49.400 -> 45:51.480] made a lot of difference.
[45:51.480 -> 45:57.080] Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds, owner and user of Mint Mobile with a special holiday message.

[46:05.160 -> 46:06.560] than it is a holiday message.
[46:06.560 -> 46:07.720] But if you read between the lines,
[46:07.720 -> 46:08.960] you can see a message in there.

[46:23.040 -> 46:26.520] For many of us, the holiday season means more travel,
[46:26.520 -> 46:29.440] more shopping, more connecting online,
[46:29.440 -> 46:32.300] and potentially more of your personal information
[46:32.300 -> 46:34.680] being exposed to identity thieves.
[46:34.680 -> 46:37.760] But with LifeLock Identity Theft Protection,
[46:37.760 -> 46:39.440] you have a lot less to worry about
[46:39.440 -> 46:41.440] during the holidays and beyond
[46:41.440 -> 46:43.960] because LifeLock monitors and alerts you
[46:43.960 -> 46:45.320] to the identity threats you
[46:45.320 -> 46:49.480] could easily miss on your own, even if you keep an eye on your bank and credit
[46:49.480 -> 46:54.740] card statements. And if your identity is stolen, your own U.S.-based restoration

[47:03.600 -> 47:10.000] accounts, fraudulent loans, or other financial losses from identity theft all by yourself.
[47:10.000 -> 47:16.000] Gift yourself the peace of mind that comes with LifeLock and spend more time doing more of the holiday things you love.

[47:27.480 -> 47:31.540] LifeLock, identity theft protection starts here.
[47:34.520 -> 47:36.040] Yeah, and it obviously worked
[47:36.040 -> 47:38.240] because George finished eighth and got a point.
[47:38.240 -> 47:39.200] So.
[47:39.200 -> 47:43.320] Yeah, George went from P11 up to, did he finish P8?
[47:43.320 -> 47:45.440] He finished P8 according to this sheet I'm looking at.
[47:45.960 -> 47:46.960] Ah, okay.
[47:46.960 -> 47:47.920] I've missed something there.
[47:49.600 -> 47:53.400] Oh, he was how much behind?
[47:54.200 -> 47:56.640] Nine thousandths of a second behind Ocon.
[47:58.320 -> 47:58.480] Yeah.
[47:58.480 -> 48:00.560] Him and Ocon had a little drag race to the line.
[48:00.960 -> 48:01.200] Yeah.
[48:01.200 -> 48:03.160] Nine thousandths of a second photo finish.
[48:03.160 -> 48:04.560] It was, I saw that on the internet.
[48:04.760 -> 48:11.520] It was good. That thing. But yeah, here's here's my takeaway from the sprint race and
[48:11.520 -> 48:15.720] what that tells us because I thought that sprint race, you had a lot of cars going wheel
[48:15.720 -> 48:22.040] to wheel side by side for many laps back and forth. What the sprint race tells me is stuff
[48:22.040 -> 48:27.640] that we already know. Racing when you have, I was going to say, what, the sprints only work at a decent track?
[48:27.640 -> 48:31.880] The sprints do work at a decent track, A, but we had another variable.
[48:31.880 -> 48:37.400] We had an inter-dry crossover race again, and those are fun, and those are chaos,
[48:37.400 -> 48:41.640] and those are a normalizer and equalizer across drivers and across cars.
[48:41.640 -> 48:45.520] They take some of the performance differentiator out of the car.
[48:48.960 -> 48:50.560] There's a lot more emphasis on skill and corrections in a
[48:56.040 -> 48:56.560] predictable car. Max still ran away with it by a huge chunk of time, but make the cars
[49:01.560 -> 49:02.160] lighter, reduce the grip, reduce the downforce, and reduce the drag to make the braking zones longer.
[49:04.560 -> 49:05.440] That's basically what you have when you're running around on enters.
[49:08.440 -> 49:10.760] So what you're telling me is that you want to subscribe to the Bernie Ecclestone theory of adding sprinklers to tracks.
[49:11.840 -> 49:14.400] Now, I think we just, we could just lose some downforce and drag and
[49:14.400 -> 49:15.840] get a little bit more power and be okay.
[49:16.600 -> 49:16.960] Okay.
[49:18.040 -> 49:18.640] I'd like that.
[49:19.480 -> 49:22.400] I think, I think that is kind of the solution.
[49:22.400 -> 49:26.840] The other, the other solution is the size of the cars, which has to do with a safety feature is the
[49:26.840 -> 49:30.960] size of the fuel cell, which you could still make the car smaller.
[49:30.960 -> 49:34.680] Now if you just fuck off the battery, then you've got more room for a fuel cell.
[49:34.680 -> 49:35.680] Just saying.
[49:35.680 -> 49:37.680] Yeah, yeah, that's it.
[49:37.680 -> 49:38.680] Yeah.
[49:38.680 -> 49:39.680] Bring back the V10s.
[49:39.680 -> 49:40.680] Stick them on that.
[49:40.680 -> 49:41.680] I forgot what it was.
[49:41.680 -> 49:42.680] E-fuel or whatever.
[49:42.680 -> 49:49.160] Yeah. bring back the V10s, stick them on that, I've forgotten what it was, E-fuel or whatever.
[49:49.160 -> 49:56.200] Yeah, which to me, I looked into this and I can't remember the exact years, it was a
[49:56.200 -> 49:57.200] couple of weeks ago.
[49:57.200 -> 50:02.840] The E-fuels, I was like, oh, there's carbon neutral or whatever.
[50:02.840 -> 50:05.800] Yes, but look into the way they have to produce it.
[50:05.800 -> 50:10.800] And it's, it's, it's not that carbon neutral when you take into the account
[50:10.800 -> 50:13.160] of all everything that's involved in producing them.
[50:13.720 -> 50:17.880] We need to have a chat with Hazel and get her to elaborate on that.
[50:17.880 -> 50:22.000] Cause she is very much in the know on the e-fuels and stuff.
[50:22.080 -> 50:22.360] Yeah.
[50:22.520 -> 50:24.080] I think we need to, we need to have a chat.
[50:24.600 -> 50:25.560] Let's discuss. Yeah. We need to get, we need to. We need to have a chat. Let's discuss.
[50:25.560 -> 50:29.320] Yeah, we need to get some guests on this show because people are probably fucking bored
[50:29.320 -> 50:32.520] of listening to me and you having our therapy sessions.
[50:32.520 -> 50:33.520] I think so.
[50:33.520 -> 50:34.520] Yeah, we do.
[50:34.520 -> 50:37.840] Leave us a comment in the YouTube section or on Twitter.
[50:37.840 -> 50:44.120] Let us know who you'd like to have on for guests and like I'm thinking we need to.
[50:44.120 -> 50:46.240] Yeah, I'm thinking that's definitely something we need to do um, yeah, I'm thinking that's definitely
[50:46.240 -> 50:47.240] something we need to do.
[50:47.360 -> 50:47.840] It's just,
[50:48.680 -> 50:50.440] I'm going to go after this.
[50:50.440 -> 50:53.360] I'm going to go out to my local butcher and ask if he wants to come on.
[50:54.160 -> 50:54.440] Okay.
[50:56.120 -> 50:58.440] Maybe you could just go out and record a quick short with him and come back.
[50:58.960 -> 51:00.480] Just take the, you know, the, take the recorder in there.
[51:00.560 -> 51:00.960] All right, mate.
[51:00.960 -> 51:01.360] How you doing?
[51:01.840 -> 51:03.000] I can get a couple of pork chops.
[51:03.000 -> 51:04.960] About corner shop meatballs.
[51:05.000 -> 51:06.900] Barry, you went on the microphone, mate. How you doing? How do you feel about corner shop meatballs?
[51:08.400 -> 51:09.500] Barry, you want on the microphone, buddy?
[51:13.300 -> 51:14.000] Hi, Barry is Barry's the strong but silent type though.
[51:14.300 -> 51:15.000] Yeah.
[51:15.300 -> 51:15.600] Yep.
[51:15.800 -> 51:19.600] Yeah. Well, yeah, let us we I think that's something like we need to work on for
[51:19.600 -> 51:23.200] the podcast because right now the podcast is me and Dan chilling out like
[51:23.200 -> 51:25.760] we're just this is this is me and Dan chilling out.
[51:25.760 -> 51:27.280] You guys just get to hang out with us.
[51:27.280 -> 51:32.560] Yeah, who knew our therapy sessions could become so big?
[51:32.560 -> 51:33.560] I enjoy it.
[51:33.560 -> 51:34.560] I enjoy it.
[51:34.560 -> 51:39.880] But I think for a successful and growing podcast, I think we do need to find some more friends
[51:39.880 -> 51:40.880] to collaborate with.
[51:40.880 -> 51:43.120] And just variety is good.
[51:43.120 -> 51:44.240] Making new friends is great.
[51:44.240 -> 51:45.900] And I agree. it's underrated.
[51:46.100 -> 51:48.340] The thing is, both of us are a little bit antisocial.
[51:48.900 -> 51:49.820] Yeah, no, fuck that.
[51:49.820 -> 51:50.700] People are bastards.
[51:52.100 -> 51:52.940] Yep, there you go.
[51:52.960 -> 51:53.300] Done.
[51:53.380 -> 51:55.700] Um, so yes, sorry.
[51:55.700 -> 51:57.620] What was the podium in the end for our sprint race?
[51:58.740 -> 52:01.000] Uh, Max, Sergio and Carlos.
[52:01.780 -> 52:02.820] Yeah, not bad.
[52:03.140 -> 52:08.440] And like the Ferrari, the Rari looking alright. Rari looking okay.
[52:08.440 -> 52:14.200] Like the signs, signs didn't have. He didn't really take it to Checo at any point, but
[52:14.200 -> 52:19.880] Max again, Max clears them by 21 seconds on the same strategies as three of them. It's
[52:19.880 -> 52:27.800] it's mad. It's just it is what it is. It is what it is, as Alonso Ender-Albon said.
[52:27.800 -> 52:28.800] Should we move on to Sunday?
[52:28.800 -> 52:29.800] Sure.
[52:29.800 -> 52:32.200] We are, what, 48 minutes into the podcast.
[52:32.200 -> 52:39.680] I suppose now is a good time as ever to get into the race.
[52:39.680 -> 52:43.120] Everybody starts on mediums apart from Alonso Bautista and Magsson.
[52:43.120 -> 52:44.120] They have hard-ons.
[52:44.120 -> 52:45.760] Interesting. Wait, what?
[52:45.760 -> 52:46.760] Yes, no, they did.
[52:46.760 -> 52:47.760] They did have hard-ons.
[52:47.760 -> 52:53.520] Magnuson was like, you know what, man, I'm not feeling it.
[52:53.520 -> 52:54.520] Things haven't gone well.
[52:54.520 -> 52:57.080] I'm going to change my setup and start from the pit lane.
[52:57.080 -> 53:00.840] And De Vries also had to change some electronics components and he decided to change his rear
[53:00.840 -> 53:03.200] wing and setup and also started from the pit lane.
[53:03.200 -> 53:07.000] So one thing I noticed earlier in the weekend, the Alpha Tauris were
[53:07.000 -> 53:09.140] relatively slow and straight line.
[53:09.160 -> 53:11.720] So I reckon he took a little bit of downforce off that race car
[53:11.720 -> 53:12.880] triangle a little bit faster.
[53:13.300 -> 53:16.000] The problem is that Alpha Tauri ain't gotten too much
[53:16.000 -> 53:17.200] downforce on it to take off.
[53:17.200 -> 53:20.680] So you're going to go faster, but you're going to go slower at the same time.
[53:21.180 -> 53:23.680] Now that Alpha Tauri is a dog this year.
[53:21.000 -> 53:25.040] same time. Now that Alpha Tauri is a dog this year.
[53:25.040 -> 53:32.840] I think it baffles me how after sharing wind tunnel facilities and simulators and things
[53:32.840 -> 53:38.120] with Red Bull that built the RB19 that you can come out and build the Alpha Tauri.
[53:38.120 -> 53:41.400] It's just like, what were you doing?
[53:41.400 -> 53:45.480] I reckon what's the directive is, it's like, right under the regulations,
[53:45.480 -> 53:48.600] you're allowed to sell and buy X amounts of components.
[53:48.600 -> 53:53.920] It's like you guys have to buy everything that you can off of Red Bull and then you
[53:53.920 -> 53:54.920] need to figure out.
[53:54.920 -> 53:59.040] Okay, doesn't come with an instruction manual though, so fucking good.
[53:59.040 -> 54:00.040] Exactly.
[54:00.040 -> 54:01.040] Yeah, exactly.
[54:01.040 -> 54:03.800] It's one of those things and they can't, there's like a lot of stuff that they police that
[54:03.800 -> 54:07.020] quite well in terms of the communications and stuff like, yeah, you can't just tell
[54:07.020 -> 54:09.140] people, Hey, here's how you do your air map.
[54:09.140 -> 54:10.140] Here's how you do this.
[54:10.140 -> 54:11.140] You've got to figure that out.
[54:11.140 -> 54:19.100] But it's at the same time, it's like, yeah, I think they have to make that viable.
[54:19.100 -> 54:20.700] It's tinfoil hat time.
[54:20.700 -> 54:26.640] Let's this feed, let's feed the conspiracy that is because a Red Bull are secretly using Alpha Taure's wind tunnel time. Let's feed the conspiracy that it's because Red Bull are secretly using Alpha
[54:26.640 -> 54:27.920] Taure's wind tunnel time.
[54:29.440 -> 54:32.160] That's ridiculous because you know that that's not possible to do.
[54:32.400 -> 54:36.040] I know that's not possible to do because I design a systems to prevent that from
[54:36.040 -> 54:41.280] happening. Now I know I'm shit at my job, but even the FIA signed it off.
[54:41.520 -> 54:42.320] So it must work.
[54:43.040 -> 54:44.360] It's the FIA, mate.
[54:44.400 -> 54:44.920] Come on.
[54:44.920 -> 54:46.360] Good point. good point.
[54:46.360 -> 54:52.040] But don't attribute anything to malice, which could just be stupidity.
[54:52.040 -> 54:53.040] True that.
[54:53.040 -> 54:57.120] That doesn't really work there, but interestingly enough, speaking of AlphaTauri, we didn't
[54:57.120 -> 55:02.860] talk about this last week, AlphaTauri as a name, as a brand of the car is disappearing
[55:02.860 -> 55:04.960] and we don't know what the brand is going to be.
[55:04.960 -> 55:06.120] No, we don't. They the brand is going to be.
[55:06.120 -> 55:07.120] No we don't.
[55:07.120 -> 55:09.400] I've confirmed it's not Tora Rosso.
[55:09.400 -> 55:10.400] They have confirmed that.
[55:10.400 -> 55:11.400] Yeah.
[55:11.400 -> 55:12.400] That was a cool name.
[55:12.400 -> 55:18.600] So listen, I can officially announce that it's going to be Menardi.
[55:18.600 -> 55:23.040] We're going even further back.
[55:23.040 -> 55:24.440] We are bringing it back baby.
[55:24.440 -> 55:27.280] Menardi F1 is coming back.
[55:27.280 -> 55:30.760] I yeah, I don't know about all that.
[55:30.760 -> 55:33.640] No, it's gonna get sold in it.
[55:33.640 -> 55:36.200] You're not sold, but the right naming rights.
[55:36.200 -> 55:37.200] Yeah, I'll rebrand.
[55:37.200 -> 55:38.200] Yeah, I don't know.
[55:38.200 -> 55:39.200] Would you reckon Honda?
[55:39.200 -> 55:42.080] Do you reckon Honda might do it?
[55:42.080 -> 55:43.080] No, because they're gonna.
[55:43.080 -> 55:44.080] Hmm.
[55:44.080 -> 55:48.240] Honda do it until Aston Martin deal comes to fruition in 26.
[55:49.000 -> 55:50.760] Maybe they got Yuki in the car.
[55:51.160 -> 55:51.520] Yep.
[55:51.520 -> 55:51.920] Still.
[55:54.000 -> 55:55.840] But they're going to be like, you've got to get rid of DeVries.
[55:55.840 -> 55:56.720] And they're like, all right, fine.
[55:57.400 -> 55:57.920] Not a problem.
[55:57.920 -> 56:00.040] I mean, I don't think that's going to be a hard argument.
[56:00.040 -> 56:00.360] Is it?
[56:01.320 -> 56:04.440] Sorry, Nick, I'm sure you listened to the show and you're a big fan, but.
[56:06.200 -> 56:06.640] Hmm. Hmm.
[56:07.280 -> 56:07.680] Yeah.
[56:09.320 -> 56:11.440] Oh, someone I swore, it's red bull in Japanese.
[56:11.440 -> 56:11.760] I don't know.
[56:11.760 -> 56:12.640] Maybe it could be.
[56:14.000 -> 56:14.440] Anybody?
[56:14.440 -> 56:14.720] Yeah.
[56:14.880 -> 56:15.360] Who knows?
[56:15.360 -> 56:20.200] There's other, there's also last week we had high tech put their name in the hat.
[56:20.840 -> 56:21.520] Yes.
[56:21.640 -> 56:21.960] Yes.
[56:22.000 -> 56:25.200] I'd set Grand Prix have officially put their name in it.
[56:25.200 -> 56:27.400] It sounds like that's not something.
[56:27.400 -> 56:29.900] It's not like that's not sorry.
[56:29.900 -> 56:30.800] I keep talking over you.
[56:30.800 -> 56:34.500] They got some Middle Eastern backing off to set in 25% of their
[56:34.500 -> 56:34.800] team.
[56:34.800 -> 56:37.800] I think is it the guy from Kazakhstan?
[56:37.800 -> 56:39.500] Sorry.
[56:39.500 -> 56:40.300] Yes, Kazakhstan.
[56:40.300 -> 56:40.600] Yes.
[56:40.600 -> 56:41.300] Yeah.
[56:41.300 -> 56:47.000] So I get the impression that that team is like fairly well developed.
[56:47.000 -> 56:48.000] They're not messing around.
[56:48.000 -> 56:52.000] I saw some appointments on LinkedIn and I recognize quite a few of those names for people
[56:52.000 -> 56:54.000] saying, by the way, I'm working here.
[56:54.000 -> 56:55.000] So.
[56:55.000 -> 56:56.000] There you go.
[56:56.000 -> 56:57.000] Some insider knowledge.
[56:57.000 -> 57:01.000] They've got some people like that doesn't look like somebody that decided tomorrow,
[57:01.000 -> 57:04.000] yesterday, that they're going to start an F1 team.
[57:04.000 -> 57:06.320] This is, yeah, interesting.
[57:06.320 -> 57:06.960] Interesting.
[57:06.960 -> 57:11.760] Someone's saying that the AlphaTauri is going to become Dacia racing.
[57:12.560 -> 57:12.880] Okay.
[57:14.160 -> 57:17.680] I'm down for that. Dacia racing. Big up the Dacia.
[57:19.200 -> 57:21.280] Me and Blake would like some Dacia cars, please.
[57:23.440 -> 57:26.320] Dude, hey, I have a really weird question.
[57:26.320 -> 57:27.320] Yeah?
[57:27.320 -> 57:28.320] How did we get here?
[57:28.320 -> 57:31.840] Because we were just about to start talking about the race.
[57:31.840 -> 57:35.080] We said AlphaTauri's losing its name.
[57:35.080 -> 57:36.080] No before that.
[57:36.080 -> 57:40.960] Oh no, we said something about AlphaTauri building a shit car.
[57:40.960 -> 57:42.640] Before that, okay fine, fine.
[57:42.640 -> 57:44.040] Let's get into the race though.
[57:44.040 -> 57:45.720] I don't know where fuck, we went.
[57:45.720 -> 57:48.000] Oh, because the three started in the pit lane because.
[57:48.160 -> 57:50.720] Oh, fine. OK, there we go.
[57:50.720 -> 57:54.320] This ADHD, honestly, I feel like I talked to some people
[57:54.320 -> 57:57.040] and apparently it's a really long time to get on the ADHD
[57:57.040 -> 57:59.240] like treatment and diagnosis list.
[57:59.240 -> 58:00.160] So I'm not going to try it.
[58:00.160 -> 58:02.760] That's exactly what ADHD people have, isn't it?
[58:02.760 -> 58:05.600] A lot of time, you know?
[58:06.400 -> 58:06.440] Oh dear.
[58:06.920 -> 58:07.020] Anyway.
[58:07.280 -> 58:07.320] Yeah.
[58:09.800 -> 58:10.280] So pit lane start for Magnuson DeVries.
[58:12.560 -> 58:14.840] Uh, Ferrari looking quite spicy at the very start.
[58:18.840 -> 58:20.760] Just tugging on my car there a little bit just to, you know, yeah.
[58:23.280 -> 58:23.700] We're going to get into this Ferrari, but yeah, no, what was you going to say?
[58:28.680 -> 58:30.360] No, they were looking really good and they were looking spicy, especially in the fact that they were racing each other.
[58:30.360 -> 58:31.360] They raced me so hard.
[58:31.360 -> 58:34.320] They raced me so hard.
[58:34.320 -> 58:37.920] But before that, before we even get to that, it's like, okay, fine.
[58:37.920 -> 58:41.760] Sunoda, cause a little safety car action.
[58:41.760 -> 58:48.140] Yeah. safety car action. Yeah, so the first race after I on Twitter officially started my
[58:48.500 -> 58:53.860] Yuki Tsunoda in a Red Bull for 2024 agenda makes me look like a fucking
[58:53.860 -> 58:59.000] idiot by flying off the track and causing a virtual safety car.
[59:00.560 -> 59:02.440] Oh, no, sorry, this is the actual safety car.
[59:02.440 -> 59:03.000] This one wasn't it?
[59:03.000 -> 59:05.360] Yeah, so this is this is the actual safety because they had whoops't it? Yeah, so. Yeah, this was the actual safety car.
[59:05.360 -> 59:06.360] Whoops.
[59:06.360 -> 59:09.040] And they had to drive through the pit lane because there was so much debris, there was
[59:09.040 -> 59:11.160] front wing bits, there was gravel.
[59:11.160 -> 59:14.120] And I was looking at the data, I was like, why did everybody stop on lap one?
[59:14.120 -> 59:15.120] Or lap two?
[59:15.120 -> 59:16.940] Yeah, they messed up the charts, didn't they?
[59:16.940 -> 59:21.240] They drove through the pit lane, sons of bitches.
[59:21.240 -> 59:28.440] So yeah, Nax, Max nails the restart, gaps everyone to the surprise of no one.
[59:28.920 -> 59:32.300] Um, but now this is going to be our first interesting point.
[59:32.360 -> 59:35.600] And again, I'm going to refer to you, my, uh, data nerd.
[59:37.240 -> 59:39.920] Ferrari are beefing over P2.
[59:40.640 -> 59:50.280] Signs to me clearly looks quicker, but the team do not invert the cars and they say to Sines, no, tough shit.
[59:50.320 -> 59:50.820] Deal with it.
[59:52.680 -> 59:58.600] I think, now I don't think Ferrari would have won the race here, but I think they
[59:58.600 -> 01:00:02.080] should have let Sines go and chase Max and just put Max under pressure.
[01:00:03.640 -> 01:00:04.360] What do you think?
[01:00:05.300 -> 01:00:08.040] I think they probably should have done that, but what they did instead is they
[01:00:08.040 -> 01:00:10.780] stacked both of them and fucked signs at the pit stop.
[01:00:11.940 -> 01:00:12.960] I don't think that was deliberate.
[01:00:13.420 -> 01:00:14.540] It's it's not malice.
[01:00:14.820 -> 01:00:15.820] It's not good.
[01:00:15.820 -> 01:00:16.500] I think it's malice.
[01:00:16.500 -> 01:00:17.700] I think it's incompetence.
[01:00:18.380 -> 01:00:19.580] No, I think that was something.
[01:00:19.580 -> 01:00:25.800] I will come back to that, but I think the Clare looks faster, but if you're fending off your teammate, you
[01:00:25.800 -> 01:00:28.300] do lose pace.
[01:00:28.300 -> 01:00:32.200] Every other stint, the Claire was faster.
[01:00:32.200 -> 01:00:36.600] And he just needed to be that much faster to not have to fuck with his teammate.
[01:00:36.600 -> 01:00:38.680] And if he could have done that, he would have been clear.
[01:00:38.680 -> 01:00:43.820] But Carlos was basically fast enough because they didn't have much of a pace difference.
[01:00:43.820 -> 01:00:50.160] But Carlos had no chance of getting around and he was just sucking his DRS. That's my take on it.
[01:00:50.160 -> 01:00:55.760] I don't know. Okay well I will give some weight to your opinion because you're
[01:00:55.760 -> 01:01:01.280] smarter than me and that is now on the record for everyone to hear. The question
[01:01:01.280 -> 01:01:04.280] though is should they have let Carlos have a go if he's that much faster?
[01:01:04.280 -> 01:01:07.540] Yeah I think they should because yeah, I would like to see
[01:01:07.540 -> 01:01:11.260] it. Max never pitted under the VSC because he didn't need to because he had
[01:01:11.260 -> 01:01:16.780] such a gap. He knew that the team knew there was no real pressure. He didn't
[01:01:16.780 -> 01:01:19.860] really didn't have to pit. He wasn't going to lose out either way. But if they
[01:01:19.860 -> 01:01:26.620] let signs out and hassle Max, you know, we you got to do, you don't, you don't always
[01:01:26.620 -> 01:01:28.400] win a race by overtaking.
[01:01:28.400 -> 01:01:29.720] You said something a bit wild there though.
[01:01:29.780 -> 01:01:30.320] Oh, shut up.
[01:01:30.780 -> 01:01:32.000] Oh, you can come back to that in a second.
[01:01:32.000 -> 01:01:32.440] Let me finish.
[01:01:34.440 -> 01:01:37.080] You don't always win a race, right?
[01:01:37.300 -> 01:01:39.980] By overtaking the person in first.
[01:01:39.980 -> 01:01:43.600] Sometimes you win a race by pressuring them into a mistake,
[01:01:43.680 -> 01:01:45.200] either strategy or driver.
[01:01:46.320 -> 01:01:46.600] No.
[01:01:46.640 -> 01:01:46.960] Yeah.
[01:01:47.520 -> 01:01:48.100] What did I say?
[01:01:48.100 -> 01:01:48.760] That was wild.
[01:01:48.760 -> 01:01:50.480] I'm sure it was fucking bullshit.
[01:01:50.480 -> 01:01:54.000] I know you said something about, you said something about signs, hassling max.
[01:01:55.000 -> 01:01:56.480] I thought that was pretty fucking funny.
[01:01:57.720 -> 01:02:01.880] You know, if we, if we, you know, looking, looking at the first stint, that is not a
[01:02:01.880 -> 01:02:06.440] crazy statement, looking at the paces of the first stint, Leclerc clearly not on his pace.
[01:02:06.680 -> 01:02:08.360] Science could pull up to Leclerc.
[01:02:08.920 -> 01:02:13.360] If Leclerc, if science could have got through quickly and Hassel just happened,
[01:02:13.440 -> 01:02:15.880] it looks like he probably could have stayed in Max's DRS.
[01:02:16.280 -> 01:02:18.280] Max didn't have that much pace over them.
[01:02:18.960 -> 01:02:21.480] Um, and the first stint.
[01:02:21.560 -> 01:02:22.080] Yeah, that's fair.
[01:02:22.080 -> 01:02:22.600] It's totally fair.
[01:02:22.600 -> 01:02:28.240] I just think Ferrari made it easier for a Bull to win, if that makes sense.
[01:02:28.240 -> 01:02:29.240] They did.
[01:02:29.240 -> 01:02:30.240] They did.
[01:02:30.240 -> 01:02:31.760] But, at the end of the day.
[01:02:31.760 -> 01:02:33.880] So then we get into that.
[01:02:33.880 -> 01:02:39.760] Should we get to the virtual safety car?
[01:02:39.760 -> 01:02:41.400] Is that a good spot to go to?
[01:02:41.400 -> 01:02:48.900] Yeah, so McLaren pick will ask Norris about Hamilton track limits and Norris was like, oh it's every lap and then Hamilton gets his black and white
[01:02:48.900 -> 01:02:54.760] flag on lap 12 and at this point I stopped fucking taking any notice of
[01:02:54.760 -> 01:02:59.460] track limits or flags because it just all went to shit. It was boring. But
[01:02:59.460 -> 01:03:08.680] Hulkenberg decided to liven it up by having a car failure on lap 14 which caused a virtual safety car.
[01:03:08.680 -> 01:03:11.680] He got the engine from Ferrari from last year.
[01:03:11.680 -> 01:03:17.160] He did and you know what also he also got a black and white flag for track limits as
[01:03:17.160 -> 01:03:25.200] he retired the car. I was like yeah no shit he broke the track limits his car was on. Oh, if I hey, why?
[01:03:25.700 -> 01:03:30.600] But so he causes the virtual safety car and there's a concept of pit lane
[01:03:30.600 -> 01:03:31.300] time loss.
[01:03:32.100 -> 01:03:35.700] When everybody is circulating around at the same pace, you will lose a
[01:03:35.700 -> 01:03:38.500] certain amount of time when you stop for a pit stop, including tires,
[01:03:38.500 -> 01:03:40.800] and it's something like 20 something seconds here.
[01:03:41.800 -> 01:03:46.000] When there is a virtual safety car, the pace on the track is reduced
[01:03:46.000 -> 01:03:51.360] relative to the pit lane. So if you take a stop under a virtual safety car, you lose
[01:03:51.360 -> 01:03:55.080] less time. And if there's a safety car, that pace is even further reduced and you lose
[01:03:55.080 -> 01:03:58.440] even less time. So that's why, you know, you might be in that window.
[01:03:58.440 -> 01:04:05.640] Ferrari do something interesting. They are on a medium and they put the Claire on to another medium.
[01:04:05.640 -> 01:04:11.240] They've commit to a two stop, but they've stopped on like lap 16 off of a medium.
[01:04:11.240 -> 01:04:18.280] Signs stacks, so he comes in behind the Claire and also fits a medium.
[01:04:18.280 -> 01:04:21.040] However, the virtual safety car ends.
[01:04:21.040 -> 01:04:24.620] He loses a bit of time from the stack, which is what happens when you do two stop stops
[01:04:24.620 -> 01:04:30.680] or two cars in a row, and then he loses a little bit more time relative because he's.
[01:04:30.680 -> 01:04:36.280] Yeah, the virtual safety cars ended and instead of coming out behind.
[01:04:36.280 -> 01:04:43.200] Leclerc he comes out three further places back and realistically.
[01:04:43.200 -> 01:04:50.720] I don't know why they didn't leave one of them out. Because I feel like they didn't want to look to be favoring one or the other, because in my head,
[01:04:52.080 -> 01:04:56.080] I did the numbers on it and I did a rough guess on looking at his pace and clean air.
[01:04:57.520 -> 01:05:00.800] If science had basically mirrored Max's strategy,
[01:05:02.080 -> 01:05:05.920] it's not clear to me that it would have been better by much.
[01:05:06.400 -> 01:05:07.480] Yes.
[01:05:07.960 -> 01:05:08.720] Yeah, you're right.
[01:05:08.800 -> 01:05:14.680] I don't really know what the pressure was there for the double stack.
[01:05:14.880 -> 01:05:21.360] I, correct me if I'm wrong and I probably am, but I recall someone saying something
[01:05:21.440 -> 01:05:24.240] that one of the drivers didn't want to pit.
[01:05:24.720 -> 01:05:26.560] Maybe that was Carlos post pit.
[01:05:26.580 -> 01:05:28.180] I don't know, but there was something about that.
[01:05:29.120 -> 01:05:30.460] Carlos says, why are we pitting?
[01:05:31.220 -> 01:05:35.580] And I think Carlos, I don't, I feel something was unnecessary.
[01:05:36.620 -> 01:05:36.920] Yeah.
[01:05:36.940 -> 01:05:41.000] And unless they knew something about their pace and degradation there.
[01:05:41.720 -> 01:05:46.680] Um, but yeah, we talked about their pace and deg now. Let's get to the
[01:05:46.680 -> 01:05:49.720] race. We'll come back to Fry's pace and degradation. Yeah, because let's come back to that. Let's
[01:05:49.720 -> 01:05:51.960] get to the rest of the race and we can go back on to that.
[01:05:51.960 -> 01:05:57.120] Another interesting thing that happened during the virtual safety car. Alonso changed off
[01:05:57.120 -> 01:06:04.000] of his hard tyres after only what, 14 laps? What was that about?
[01:06:04.000 -> 01:06:05.560] I have no idea.
[01:06:08.040 -> 01:06:08.080] No, I didn't, I didn't register that at all.
[01:06:09.120 -> 01:06:09.200] Just commit to the bit.
[01:06:11.360 -> 01:06:11.960] I don't really understand why they decided to do that.
[01:06:14.440 -> 01:06:15.640] Maybe they weren't happy with the performance on them and like, fuck, it will be better on another tire.
[01:06:17.040 -> 01:06:17.840] I mean, that, that is the thing.
[01:06:17.840 -> 01:06:20.880] It's like, if there's this, if you, if you hate a tire and you're not happy with
[01:06:20.880 -> 01:06:25.360] the balance, come in, change, change the wing, change the tire,
[01:06:25.360 -> 01:06:29.200] make some adjustments to the front wing and get a different tire and go out and see if that's
[01:06:29.200 -> 01:06:32.240] any better. And that's happened before. It's like, for some reason you just don't prefer
[01:06:32.240 -> 01:06:39.040] tire A over tire B. And yeah, the hard, the hard had a, was a bit slower and had a lot more tire,
[01:06:39.040 -> 01:06:47.360] a bit more tire life in it, but it wasn't like insane. Yeah. well we're not sure why they did that but they did it.
[01:06:48.640 -> 01:06:54.960] And then my thing that went probably most under the radar but was one of my highlights of the
[01:06:54.960 -> 01:07:01.760] race on lap 17. Hamilton gets a time penalty for going off track and then immediately goes
[01:07:01.760 -> 01:07:10.960] off track again which I thought was fucking hilarious. Oh, he came on the radio several times and even Toto came on his like Lewis.
[01:07:10.960 -> 01:07:12.720] I know it's bad.
[01:07:12.720 -> 01:07:13.720] Let's just get through this.
[01:07:13.720 -> 01:07:18.160] But I mean, he had what he said was the car just won't turn.
[01:07:18.160 -> 01:07:21.960] So he had a really understeering high speed car and they can adjust that at the pit stop
[01:07:21.960 -> 01:07:22.960] of flap.
[01:07:22.960 -> 01:07:29.520] But right, listen, I know there are some Lewis Hamilton fans and Mercedes fans that listen
[01:07:29.520 -> 01:07:30.520] to the show.
[01:07:30.520 -> 01:07:35.760] I want you to click this and record this because a former senior Red Bull engineers about to
[01:07:35.760 -> 01:07:38.120] come out and bat for your boy.
[01:07:38.120 -> 01:07:42.840] I think Lewis got done a bit dirty here with the broadcasting because I do not believe
[01:07:42.840 -> 01:07:47.120] for one second Lewis was the only one that was moaning on the radio about track limits.
[01:07:47.120 -> 01:07:51.260] I think they all were, but for some reason, poor Lewis, all of
[01:07:51.260 -> 01:07:53.000] his radio messages got broadcast.
[01:07:53.560 -> 01:07:54.340] A hundred percent.
[01:07:54.340 -> 01:07:58.980] I've listened to race drivers in races and they, all they do is fucking complain.
[01:08:00.520 -> 01:08:00.820] Yeah.
[01:08:01.220 -> 01:08:06.320] I think they locked onto a narrative and they kept going.
[01:08:06.320 -> 01:08:12.400] Yeah, but you know, I did like Tyro's message of Lewis, Lewis.
[01:08:12.400 -> 01:08:19.280] Lewis, the car's bad, just get on with it, just drive it please.
[01:08:19.280 -> 01:08:21.240] Yeah, yeah.
[01:08:21.240 -> 01:08:24.880] But I think you can use multi-view and go back and look through all the transcriptions
[01:08:24.880 -> 01:08:25.880] of the audio.
[01:08:25.880 -> 01:08:30.080] Everybody was moaning about track limits and I don't actually want to talk about them that
[01:08:30.080 -> 01:08:31.080] much honestly.
[01:08:31.080 -> 01:08:35.440] Yeah well unfortunately for you that was the most fucking defining thing of this fucking
[01:08:35.440 -> 01:08:36.440] race.
[01:08:36.440 -> 01:08:37.440] Basically.
[01:08:37.440 -> 01:08:45.400] I mean we got to this point here right so I'm going through my notes I did for the race the the Hamilton
[01:08:45.400 -> 01:08:51.560] time penalty lap 17 and then I noted after this lap 23 race control are still
[01:08:51.560 -> 01:08:56.320] deleting times for limits on lap 10 and then I literally just fucking gave up
[01:08:56.320 -> 01:09:01.800] taking notes after that I was like yeah bollocks let's look at yeah exactly
[01:09:01.800 -> 01:09:05.760] let's look at the race overall as a whole.
[01:09:07.680 -> 01:09:11.840] Stroll not a great race. Mercedes and Aston really underperformed this weekend,
[01:09:11.840 -> 01:09:14.480] I think, and I think there was some setup issues or something else.
[01:09:14.480 -> 01:09:16.640] I don't think that's where they're at right now.
[01:09:16.640 -> 01:09:20.800] Ferrari looked pretty quick, not for stopping quick, but.
[01:09:22.920 -> 01:09:25.000] Thereabouts with Perez and Perez coming through
[01:09:25.000 -> 01:09:28.560] and them starting closer to the front, fine.
[01:09:28.560 -> 01:09:31.720] Max at the end of the race has an entire pit stop
[01:09:31.720 -> 01:09:33.760] with a couple seconds margin.
[01:09:33.760 -> 01:09:35.200] And he tells them that he wants to stop
[01:09:35.200 -> 01:09:36.960] and do the fastest lap on the lap,
[01:09:36.960 -> 01:09:39.280] lap before penultimate lap, basically go out,
[01:09:39.280 -> 01:09:40.320] put in a set of softs.
[01:09:40.320 -> 01:09:43.000] And he's weaving like fuck on the straight to heat them up
[01:09:43.000 -> 01:09:45.560] and goes in and gets the full sweep for another point.
[01:09:45.560 -> 01:09:48.960] He's just just being a dickhead now.
[01:09:48.960 -> 01:09:49.960] Let's talk about the fry pace.
[01:09:49.960 -> 01:09:50.960] I like that though.
[01:09:50.960 -> 01:09:51.960] I like that.
[01:09:51.960 -> 01:09:52.960] Yeah.
[01:09:52.960 -> 01:09:53.960] And he was like, why not?
[01:09:53.960 -> 01:09:54.960] Why not?
[01:09:54.960 -> 01:09:55.960] Yeah.
[01:09:55.960 -> 01:09:56.960] You know what that reminds me of?
[01:09:56.960 -> 01:09:58.640] And it's not quite as extreme as that.
[01:09:58.640 -> 01:10:04.100] Back in the day at Le Mans, when the Corvette was on top, they used to, when they had such
[01:10:04.100 -> 01:10:05.420] a lead, they would wheel the Corvette back into top. They used to, when they had such a lead,
[01:10:05.420 -> 01:10:08.420] they would wheel the Corvette back into the garage
[01:10:08.420 -> 01:10:09.260] and clean it.
[01:10:09.260 -> 01:10:10.580] Yes, yes.
[01:10:10.580 -> 01:10:12.860] So that when it comes out to take the checker flag,
[01:10:12.860 -> 01:10:15.780] all the other cars look amazingly battered
[01:10:15.780 -> 01:10:18.980] and strewn with scuff scratches and rubber,
[01:10:18.980 -> 01:10:20.780] you know, streaked across the car.
[01:10:20.780 -> 01:10:23.700] And the Corvette would come out and take the checker flag.
[01:10:23.700 -> 01:10:26.320] I completely forgot that was a thing.
[01:10:26.320 -> 01:10:27.320] Yeah.
[01:10:27.320 -> 01:10:28.320] Yeah.
[01:10:28.320 -> 01:10:31.720] I was there live and I used to do that and it was like, oh, that's the Corvette.
[01:10:31.720 -> 01:10:33.360] And it's like, no, it's fucked.
[01:10:33.360 -> 01:10:35.880] They're just cleaning it.
[01:10:35.880 -> 01:10:37.400] That's it's so wild.
[01:10:37.400 -> 01:10:43.200] But yeah, I mean, Max was over 20 seconds in the lead stops, puts in a fastest lap.
[01:10:43.200 -> 01:10:46.880] At that point, the clear is kind of backing off, but on the Ferrari's tire
[01:10:46.880 -> 01:10:48.160] day, I heard people saying, Oh, try it.
[01:10:48.160 -> 01:10:49.720] The first tire day is fixed.
[01:10:50.480 -> 01:10:53.480] I think it's better, but it's not great looking at all their medium tire
[01:10:53.480 -> 01:10:59.560] stints that were in clean air, mostly or roughly, um, after 25 laps, despite
[01:10:59.560 -> 01:11:04.040] starting those stints at a similar pace, the Ferrari and clear air is about half
[01:11:04.040 -> 01:11:06.600] a second lower, slower lap at the end of that.
[01:11:06.600 -> 01:11:09.320] So pace, Deg not there.
[01:11:09.320 -> 01:11:12.120] They didn't also, they didn't look very strong on the hards either.
[01:11:12.120 -> 01:11:15.240] So I don't know what that says about that.
[01:11:15.240 -> 01:11:21.400] But yeah, Perez, proper recovery from P15 to P3, better pace than the Ferraris, but
[01:11:21.400 -> 01:11:23.600] starting that far back is just killer.
[01:11:23.600 -> 01:11:28.920] Sorry, I'm, I'm, I'm, I know guys, sorry I'm not, I don't want this the episode to
[01:11:28.920 -> 01:11:35.820] be the episode where Dan shits all over Perez but P3 is the minimum in that fucking car
[01:11:35.820 -> 01:11:37.320] surely the RV19.
[01:11:37.320 -> 01:11:41.600] Like everyone's like oh it's a great recovery drive, is it?
[01:11:41.600 -> 01:11:43.240] It's, I don't know man.
[01:11:43.240 -> 01:11:45.840] You should, you don't want to be in the place where you have to recover.
[01:11:45.840 -> 01:11:51.520] And to be fair, he did struggle quite a bit coming through on signs.
[01:11:51.520 -> 01:11:56.160] And he did that thing where he gave signs, the DRS, several times when he was attacking into 3.
[01:11:56.160 -> 01:12:05.400] Whereas Max saw that the first time, Max broke hard enough that he did not give Leclerc the DRS going down to turn four.
[01:12:05.400 -> 01:12:06.400] I forgot about that.
[01:12:06.400 -> 01:12:09.200] And Harris did that like two laps in a row at least.
[01:12:09.200 -> 01:12:15.440] Yeah, he's got to step up his game because he's got the best car on the grid and he needs
[01:12:15.440 -> 01:12:21.200] to be finishing every race P2 and qualifying P2 if not challenging for pole and wins.
[01:12:21.200 -> 01:12:22.200] Yeah.
[01:12:22.200 -> 01:12:24.800] Which it looked like he could be doing at the start of the season and people are like
[01:12:24.800 -> 01:12:28.160] ah it's his Rosberg year and I said the same thing, this is his chance.
[01:12:28.160 -> 01:12:36.960] I don't necessarily think he needs to be challenging Max per se. I think he needs to be there with
[01:12:36.960 -> 01:12:42.480] Max but not necessarily, I mean sure everyone would love it if Max had someone in the car
[01:12:42.480 -> 01:12:45.080] that could challenge him but I'm not really sure who could at the minute
[01:12:49.140 -> 01:12:55.600] But I think press needs to be there to be that solid number two driver But in a minute, he's a bit like we say no no q3 in four races now, right? I don't know
[01:12:57.040 -> 01:12:58.240] But anyway, I get it
[01:12:58.240 -> 01:13:03.480] Do you have anything else to say about the race because I know your time limited today and we've still got all the fucking post
[01:13:03.480 -> 01:13:05.400] race penalties to talk about.
[01:13:07.040 -> 01:13:08.960] Um, the race.
[01:13:11.040 -> 01:13:11.400] What the hell are Afro Mayo and Alpha Tauri doing?
[01:13:12.240 -> 01:13:12.920] Uh, Norris.
[01:13:13.320 -> 01:13:13.520] Good race. Yeah.
[01:13:13.520 -> 01:13:13.800] Yeah.
[01:13:13.840 -> 01:13:14.600] Good race from Norris.
[01:13:14.640 -> 01:13:15.800] Good qualifying and good race.
[01:13:15.800 -> 01:13:16.720] And we don't usually see that.
[01:13:16.720 -> 01:13:21.240] Usually it's like a good result on Saturday and a crap race on Sunday, but
[01:13:21.240 -> 01:13:25.680] now we've turned this into good Saturday or good qualifying and good race as well.
[01:13:25.680 -> 01:13:26.680] So yes.
[01:13:26.680 -> 01:13:31.800] And did I not hear that this result Norris doubled the McLaren points?
[01:13:31.800 -> 01:13:35.160] He doubled his points in nearly doubled McLaren's points.
[01:13:35.160 -> 01:13:36.160] Yeah.
[01:13:36.160 -> 01:13:37.160] Wild.
[01:13:37.160 -> 01:13:38.160] Wild.
[01:13:38.160 -> 01:13:41.200] So those upgrades clearly come coming in clutch.
[01:13:41.200 -> 01:13:48.680] Let's see if it continues for Silverstone. Where McLaren have, while we've been recording this, revealed their chrome
[01:13:48.680 -> 01:13:51.440] livery for the Silverstone Grand Prix.
[01:13:52.560 -> 01:13:54.840] What do you think about the chrome livery, Barry?
[01:13:55.960 -> 01:13:58.920] Barry, there's no thoughts there, just vibes.
[01:13:59.960 -> 01:14:02.000] Barry is straight vibes.
[01:14:03.640 -> 01:14:05.120] I'm not a fan of it.
[01:14:07.080 -> 01:14:08.080] Delivery, not Barry.
[01:14:08.080 -> 01:14:08.720] I love Barry.
[01:14:11.640 -> 01:14:14.040] So anyway, let's talk about the aftermath, the penalties.
[01:14:14.040 -> 01:14:17.440] Five hours after the race, the FIA come back.
[01:14:17.440 -> 01:14:20.640] So Aston Martin at the end of the race say, we're going to protest this race result.
[01:14:20.640 -> 01:14:32.700] We do not think that you've A, acknowledged the penalties and B, applied them correctly. So, FIA said, uno reverso, not on them, but on everybody else. They reviewed,
[01:14:32.700 -> 01:14:38.000] there was like 1200 instances of off-track that they needed to review. As far as I can
[01:14:38.000 -> 01:14:42.080] tell, they made up a penalty system on the fly at the end of the evening. And I think
[01:14:42.080 -> 01:14:46.960] what this was is basically, the FIA said, we either wanna catch our flight
[01:14:46.960 -> 01:14:47.920] or we wanna go out to dinner
[01:14:47.920 -> 01:14:49.880] and spend all this penalty money
[01:14:49.880 -> 01:14:52.400] on a nice bottle of wine and a couple of steaks
[01:14:52.400 -> 01:14:53.600] or some schnitzels.
[01:14:53.600 -> 01:14:56.400] So they reviewed it and they found,
[01:14:56.400 -> 01:14:57.800] they said, you know what, there's so many penalties,
[01:14:57.800 -> 01:14:58.840] what we'll do is this,
[01:14:58.840 -> 01:15:01.120] four infringements, you get five seconds.
[01:15:01.120 -> 01:15:03.940] A fifth infringement is an additional 10 seconds.
[01:15:03.940 -> 01:15:05.120] And then this process repeats.
[01:15:06.640 -> 01:15:13.760] Five hours after the race, Carlos, 10 seconds. So he's had 10 infringements. Lewis,
[01:15:13.760 -> 01:15:22.880] an additional 10 seconds. Gasly, 10 seconds. Albon, 10 seconds. Akon, 30 seconds. 30 seconds.
[01:15:22.880 -> 01:15:26.680] Hold on. Wait, hold on. 30 seconds, 30 seconds.
[01:15:26.680 -> 01:15:29.920] Yeah, so they took my line from drive to survive and they did that one to Estimon.
[01:15:30.520 -> 01:15:34.160] Sergeant 10 seconds, DeVries 15 seconds, Sunota 5 seconds.
[01:15:34.520 -> 01:15:36.560] They just made up this penalty system on the spot.
[01:15:36.800 -> 01:15:38.400] And I was talking to multiviewer earlier.
[01:15:38.400 -> 01:15:41.800] I don't know where the three strikes and then a penalty system
[01:15:41.800 -> 01:15:43.520] comes from in the rules.
[01:15:43.520 -> 01:15:45.080] I don't we didn't don't. We didn't find
[01:15:45.080 -> 01:15:50.380] it. He didn't find it in the sporting regulations or anything. It's like the black and white
[01:15:50.380 -> 01:15:56.960] flag is a unsportsmanlike conduct. Warning. But anyway, that's how F1 rolls right now.
[01:15:56.960 -> 01:16:01.740] And they didn't bring this back in until 2019. Charlie Whiting didn't prefer this. Then Michael
[01:16:01.740 -> 01:16:06.000] Massey brought the that. So if you don't like Michael Massey, here's another reason not to like him, but he didn't
[01:16:06.000 -> 01:16:07.000] make this one up.
[01:16:07.000 -> 01:16:09.520] Whoever was running the show this week and made up this random stuff.
[01:16:09.520 -> 01:16:10.880] How do we fix it, Dan?
[01:16:10.880 -> 01:16:12.120] How do we fix this situation?
[01:16:12.120 -> 01:16:13.440] Quick hot take.
[01:16:13.440 -> 01:16:19.120] Well, we should do what the FIA asked the Red Bull ring to do last year after last year's
[01:16:19.120 -> 01:16:23.520] race, because we had not to this extent, but we had some fun and games with this last year.
[01:16:23.520 -> 01:16:25.080] Yeah, we definitely talked about it last year.
[01:16:25.080 -> 01:16:29.200] And they said, Hey, you need to put gravel back in turns nine and 10.
[01:16:29.400 -> 01:16:30.760] And obviously they didn't do that.
[01:16:30.840 -> 01:16:31.960] And now we've got this.
[01:16:32.520 -> 01:16:37.480] And on the end of the ruling of the post race penalties, what you just said, they
[01:16:37.480 -> 01:16:48.560] even say in the thing saying we urge the owners of the circuit to revise turn 9 and turn 10. I mean I don't necessarily think
[01:16:48.560 -> 01:16:52.040] it was shit and it was bollocks but
[01:16:52.040 -> 01:16:58.320] I feel it's a bit much to just sort of go after the FIA for this because
[01:16:58.320 -> 01:17:01.360] I don't necessarily think it's their fault
[01:17:01.360 -> 01:17:06.240] completely. I think that, I don't know.
[01:17:06.240 -> 01:17:08.720] See, I don't know, it's just so fucked.
[01:17:08.720 -> 01:17:13.680] But it's one of those things, it's like, this is certainly a circuit specific instance.
[01:17:13.680 -> 01:17:17.220] We do have track limits at other circuits that we come, and we talk about exceeding
[01:17:17.220 -> 01:17:22.400] track limits and penalties and so on, but this is by far the worst instance we've seen.
[01:17:22.400 -> 01:17:24.040] Yeah, absolutely.
[01:17:24.040 -> 01:17:27.800] And it's because you do not lose any lap time for going off.
[01:17:27.800 -> 01:17:29.160] So drivers don't mind going off.
[01:17:29.160 -> 01:17:30.080] You don't gain much.
[01:17:30.640 -> 01:17:34.560] Arguably you do not gain much at all, if anything, by going wide in those places,
[01:17:35.060 -> 01:17:36.560] but they just need to make it more penalized.
[01:17:36.560 -> 01:17:39.160] And I think one of the things they're playing with and they have to deal with
[01:17:39.480 -> 01:17:43.280] is motorbikes as well as Formula One cars.
[01:17:43.280 -> 01:17:47.720] And so obviously, you know, it's not just F1 that races at this circuit.
[01:17:47.720 -> 01:17:51.080] So you have to, you have to account for everyone.
[01:17:51.080 -> 01:17:54.560] You can't just whack a sausage curb on there if you've got bikes flying around.
[01:17:54.560 -> 01:17:55.560] I don't know.
[01:17:55.560 -> 01:17:57.880] Yeah, fuck sausage curbs as well, by the way.
[01:17:57.880 -> 01:18:02.120] I mean, I hate them, but then I hate this more, so...
[01:18:02.120 -> 01:18:03.320] Hmm, yeah.
[01:18:03.320 -> 01:18:07.320] I think they need to put grass crete everywhere on the exits so once you go more
[01:18:07.320 -> 01:18:11.320] than you know by the time you get to the point where you're inside wheels about to cross
[01:18:11.320 -> 01:18:15.680] the white line your outside wheels are on grass crete and like there's a little bit
[01:18:15.680 -> 01:18:18.120] of grip there but you're sliding way the fuck off and it's.
[01:18:18.120 -> 01:18:25.560] I mean we could easily solve this if we just have a better fucking system for policing track limits
[01:18:25.560 -> 01:18:29.760] rather than having some poor sods sitting in an office in Geneva watching
[01:18:29.760 -> 01:18:33.560] live feeds trying to figure out if they've gone on or off track yet. I think
[01:18:33.560 -> 01:18:38.120] it's bizarre that in the year 2023 when you've got facial recognition cameras
[01:18:38.120 -> 01:18:42.400] coming out your ass and things like that while you can't just stick a few cameras
[01:18:42.400 -> 01:18:50.800] on a pole next to a track, it doesn't take much to set up a CCTV camera on a pole and just have AI
[01:18:51.080 -> 01:18:55.740] just look at the images and say, that's gone off, refer it or something like that.
[01:18:55.780 -> 01:19:00.360] I mean, like I say, all the technology we've got these days, and we're relying
[01:19:00.360 -> 01:19:05.440] on a couple of blokes sitting in an office saying, oh, I need to review that.
[01:19:05.440 -> 01:19:06.720] We've got VAR.
[01:19:06.720 -> 01:19:09.040] Well, you know, why can't we just?
[01:19:09.040 -> 01:19:10.480] And some people are saying, I've seen that,
[01:19:10.480 -> 01:19:12.720] why can't we use GPS for this?
[01:19:12.720 -> 01:19:16.480] The GPS is, it's good.
[01:19:16.480 -> 01:19:17.920] The GPS is sketchy as fuck.
[01:19:17.920 -> 01:19:20.880] Yeah, it has its moments and some tracks,
[01:19:20.880 -> 01:19:22.280] it's just not very reliable.
[01:19:22.280 -> 01:19:28.840] I mean, yeah, GPS is often horrible. I'll give you an example, Bedford Autodrome, which
[01:19:28.840 -> 01:19:34.120] is basically a high performance driving school track and a test track. I don't know if they
[01:19:34.120 -> 01:19:39.080] do any races there. They've got an F4 car that you can go drive there as part of the
[01:19:39.080 -> 01:19:42.600] experience. They have track limit sensors built into the cars. Like, so if you go do
[01:19:42.600 -> 01:19:46.180] that, they can be like, yep, okay, You got that lap deleted for going too wide on this corner.
[01:19:46.660 -> 01:19:49.380] At the end of the day, this is like one of those super specific circuits.
[01:19:49.380 -> 01:19:54.300] So like, instead of having to add all this fucking fluff and shit to it, just fix the
[01:19:54.300 -> 01:19:54.640] track.
[01:19:54.640 -> 01:19:58.680] I mean, I went carting on Saturday and the carts had this thing where if you went off
[01:19:58.680 -> 01:20:03.160] track, it cut it, it reduced you to 50% power for like a couple of seconds.
[01:20:03.860 -> 01:20:04.160] Easy.
[01:20:04.180 -> 01:20:08.320] In a fucking go cart. Why can't you can't tell me I can't have that in an F1 car.
[01:20:08.320 -> 01:20:09.800] Nah, it's expensive mate.
[01:20:09.800 -> 01:20:10.800] Get fucked.
[01:20:10.800 -> 01:20:17.800] Right, milestones for the Grand Prix.
[01:20:17.800 -> 01:20:18.800] Ooh, milestones.
[01:20:18.800 -> 01:20:19.800] Give me some milestones.
[01:20:19.800 -> 01:20:25.480] Do you want to do the first one?
[01:20:25.480 -> 01:20:26.480] Ferrari?
[01:20:26.480 -> 01:20:27.480] 800 podiums.
[01:20:27.480 -> 01:20:29.480] 800 podiums, baby.
[01:20:29.480 -> 01:20:35.920] They're really earning that legacy bonus that they get paid by FOM every year for just
[01:20:35.920 -> 01:20:36.920] being Ferrari.
[01:20:36.920 -> 01:20:38.920] Ah, stop, please.
[01:20:38.920 -> 01:20:44.280] 42nd win for Max Verstappen, which moves him to 5th on the all-time list.
[01:20:44.280 -> 01:20:46.560] Ooh! Which is a pretty wild stat.
[01:20:46.560 -> 01:20:55.120] I know, I just, I can't get past Max in 2016 winning his first race and here we are now
[01:20:55.120 -> 01:20:56.600] he's fifth on the all-time list.
[01:20:56.600 -> 01:20:57.600] It's just wild to me.
[01:20:57.600 -> 01:21:02.000] Yeah, I mean it was one of the things you didn't really expect because I was like, I'm
[01:21:02.000 -> 01:21:04.160] not really sure Red Bull's going to have the fastest car for a while.
[01:21:04.160 -> 01:21:05.640] This Mercedes is insane.
[01:21:06.120 -> 01:21:08.960] Back in 2016, it was for quite a while longer.
[01:21:10.120 -> 01:21:15.160] Still was pretty insane in 2021 as well, but the Red Bull caught up with the help of Honda.
[01:21:15.920 -> 01:21:17.120] Here's my favorite stat.
[01:21:17.880 -> 01:21:18.160] Go on.
[01:21:18.960 -> 01:21:24.360] Esteban Ocon broke the record for receiving the most penalties in a single
[01:21:24.360 -> 01:21:26.800] Grand Prix with five separate violations.
[01:21:26.800 -> 01:21:30.800] The previous record was four. Do you know who held that?
[01:21:30.800 -> 01:21:32.000] Gasly?
[01:21:32.000 -> 01:21:34.000] Esteban Ocon.
[01:21:34.000 -> 01:21:39.000] Oh my god, no way. No way, dude.
[01:21:39.000 -> 01:21:43.000] So yeah, well done, Ocon. He received a penalty in the race,
[01:21:43.000 -> 01:21:46.760] and then he managed to receive what was it
[01:21:46.760 -> 01:21:51.560] post race for extra penalties so yeah well done
[01:21:51.960 -> 01:22:02.640] yes he got so many penalties that he's back on lap 12 in Canada oh are you
[01:22:02.640 -> 01:22:05.520] gonna know that blows my, that blows my mind.
[01:22:06.560 -> 01:22:07.520] That blows my mind, dude.
[01:22:08.200 -> 01:22:08.800] But there you go.
[01:22:08.880 -> 01:22:12.600] Ladies and gentlemen, we are what an hour 18 into the podcast.
[01:22:12.800 -> 01:22:13.640] It's that time.
[01:22:13.720 -> 01:22:14.400] Do you want to hit it?
[01:22:15.360 -> 01:22:15.800] Yeah, I do.
[01:22:24.840 -> 01:22:26.760] Fraud watch, right? Right.
[01:22:27.520 -> 01:22:31.080] This is, this is where we put somebody on fraud watch for the week.
[01:22:31.080 -> 01:22:34.520] We basically just call them out for being a joker and a stinker.
[01:22:34.620 -> 01:22:38.840] And I was going to change my answer, but I can't remember what I was going to change it to.
[01:22:38.840 -> 01:22:41.040] So Dan, can you nominate your fraud watch for the weekend?
[01:22:41.120 -> 01:22:41.520] Yeah.
[01:22:41.520 -> 01:22:48.600] So for this Austrian Grand Prix, I'm putting turn nine and turn 10 on fraud watch for the
[01:22:48.600 -> 01:22:55.640] sheer amount of bullshit and pain and anguish they've put all of us, the F1 community through.
[01:22:55.640 -> 01:22:59.760] Whether it's the FIA's fault or what, I don't know, but the buck stops for turn nine and
[01:22:59.760 -> 01:23:00.760] turn 10.
[01:23:00.760 -> 01:23:01.760] Fair enough.
[01:23:01.760 -> 01:23:02.760] Screw you turn nine.
[01:23:02.760 -> 01:23:06.560] But the thing is, we won't definitely won't get turn 9 and 10 three
[01:23:06.560 -> 01:23:08.560] strikes this season on the Fraud Watchlist.
[01:23:08.560 -> 01:23:09.560] Never say never.
[01:23:09.560 -> 01:23:18.440] Never say never. Okay. Okay. I am going to put Carlos Sainz for his terrible acting in
[01:23:18.440 -> 01:23:26.120] the Grand Prix. He referred to Perez saying he's trying to intimidate me.
[01:23:30.200 -> 01:23:33.440] It was like, mate, if you want some real intimidation, why don't you line up next to George Russell or Nick DeVries, they'll terrorize your mate.
[01:23:35.600 -> 01:23:37.760] Forget intimidation, get terrorized.
[01:23:38.120 -> 01:23:38.560] All right.
[01:23:39.520 -> 01:23:40.560] Fricking goofball.
[01:23:40.640 -> 01:23:42.040] That's scary.
[01:23:42.600 -> 01:23:48.500] Nah, nah, that tickled me a little bit, but, um yeah, nothing too exciting there this weekend, turn 9, turn 10.
[01:23:48.500 -> 01:23:50.500] Signs really not that crazy fraud watch.
[01:23:50.500 -> 01:23:52.500] It's like a minor infringement, that one, honestly.
[01:23:54.500 -> 01:23:56.000] But what about the next section?
[01:23:56.000 -> 01:23:56.500] Should we move on?
[01:23:58.500 -> 01:23:59.000] Yeah.
[01:24:01.000 -> 01:24:03.000] Oh, you think he's a good boy?
[01:24:03.000 -> 01:24:05.600] I am. I'm a good boy.
[01:24:06.680 -> 01:24:08.200] Who's a good boy this weekend?
[01:24:09.400 -> 01:24:10.560] I'm giving it to McLaren.
[01:24:16.040 -> 01:24:16.720] And the upgrades, which was on Norris's car, which clearly have worked.
[01:24:20.400 -> 01:24:20.840] OK. At least for this race, you know, let's hope that momentum continues.
[01:24:22.920 -> 01:24:24.880] But McLaren fans, I know you've been going through it.
[01:24:26.840 -> 01:24:30.800] There might be some light at the end of the tunnel. And you know, whether that's a train coming or not, we don't know.
[01:24:30.800 -> 01:24:31.800] But have faith.
[01:24:31.800 -> 01:24:37.160] It looks like it could be all good.
[01:24:37.160 -> 01:24:40.640] I was thinking, yeah, big shout from McLaren and Norris.
[01:24:40.640 -> 01:24:42.840] But yeah, Pastry had a crap race.
[01:24:42.840 -> 01:24:44.880] But luckily he got some damage early on.
[01:24:44.880 -> 01:24:48.820] I'm going to stick Max in there this weekend. Not that I'm not because I'm like in love
[01:24:48.820 -> 01:24:51.000] with Max or stop and I think he's pretty freaking good.
[01:24:51.000 -> 01:24:57.000] He is, but like the race bias at GP at the end of the race is like we don't need to get
[01:24:57.000 -> 01:25:01.240] fastest lap like it's not worth the risk and he was like, come on and everybody collectively
[01:25:01.240 -> 01:25:09.760] said come on and they did the pit stop and they got it done. And they just, they let the Claire lead a couple of laps from, uh, what was it from
[01:25:09.760 -> 01:25:14.760] about lap 26 to lap 34 or so just let him lead a couple of laps.
[01:25:14.760 -> 01:25:15.240] No big deal.
[01:25:16.480 -> 01:25:18.540] Well, he could have had the clean sweep again this weekend.
[01:25:18.600 -> 01:25:20.000] If he had led all of those laps.
[01:25:20.080 -> 01:25:21.920] Yeah, nearly, nearly, nearly.
[01:25:23.240 -> 01:25:25.880] I think he would have, if it wasn't for the safety car.
[01:25:25.880 -> 01:25:28.560] Or the VSC.
[01:25:28.560 -> 01:25:29.560] But who cares.
[01:25:29.560 -> 01:25:32.120] I mean, like, it's honestly, talking about that, it's not that exciting.
[01:25:32.120 -> 01:25:33.640] They're doing great stuff.
[01:25:33.640 -> 01:25:37.480] We need to focus on the championship without Max effectively, and then the championship
[01:25:37.480 -> 01:25:38.480] gets exciting.
[01:25:38.480 -> 01:25:39.480] Oh, milestones.
[01:25:39.480 -> 01:25:42.840] Sorry, going back, I forgot one.
[01:25:42.840 -> 01:25:46.840] This was the 10th consecutive win for Red Bull.
[01:25:46.840 -> 01:25:51.320] And the only other team that has done better than that is McLaren,
[01:25:51.320 -> 01:25:54.680] with 11 consecutive wins in 1988.
[01:25:54.680 -> 01:25:59.800] So a win in Silverstone for either Perez or Verstappen,
[01:25:59.800 -> 01:26:04.280] will see them tie the all-time consecutive win record.
[01:26:04.280 -> 01:26:05.420] Oh, wow
[01:26:06.420 -> 01:26:08.280] Hey, I'm mad
[01:26:08.280 -> 01:26:12.080] That's pretty I didn't have any honestly. I can't Rose max right now
[01:26:13.480 -> 01:26:15.480] Only four I think
[01:26:16.840 -> 01:26:19.460] Okay, I think it got broken up didn't it
[01:26:22.880 -> 01:26:24.880] Shit happens
[01:26:22.000 -> 01:26:22.900] Oh
[01:26:24.900 -> 01:26:26.100] Shit happens
[01:26:29.520 -> 01:26:31.300] Let's talk about anyone else fucking beating them so
[01:26:33.400 -> 01:26:34.580] Four or five. Yeah. Yeah fine
[01:26:39.280 -> 01:26:42.500] Let's do quick predictions for Silverstone. We're not gonna it's five races chat has confirmed
[01:26:45.360 -> 01:26:46.160] Five in a row. Silverstone predictions.
[01:26:51.360 -> 01:26:51.920] Uh, qualifying, um, listen, you know me, I like to do some wild qualif- like predictions.
[01:26:56.240 -> 01:26:58.560] But I'm afraid this, this week I've gone a bit boring in the hope that perhaps maybe I'll jinx it and we actually will get a decent qualifying.
[01:26:58.560 -> 01:27:02.560] Um, I've gone for Verstappen, Charles and Perez.
[01:27:02.800 -> 01:27:04.000] Verstappen, Charles and Perez.
[01:27:11.300 -> 01:27:12.600] Interesting because I did Verstappen, Perez, Leclerc.
[01:27:13.400 -> 01:27:15.700] Yeah, pretty similar. We just had P2, P3 swapped about.
[01:27:16.600 -> 01:27:17.700] Who you got P4 and P5?
[01:27:18.200 -> 01:27:19.100] Oh, no, I didn't.
[01:27:19.100 -> 01:27:20.100] I didn't think that much.
[01:27:20.100 -> 01:27:21.900] Alonzo Hamilton.
[01:27:22.400 -> 01:27:22.700] Okay.
[01:27:22.800 -> 01:27:23.300] Why not?
[01:27:28.000 -> 01:27:30.840] Because I was going Hamilton, Alonzo Hamilton. Okay. Why not? Uh, cause I was going Hamilton, Alonzo.
[01:27:31.640 -> 01:27:32.480] We're so boring. Are we that predictable?
[01:27:32.480 -> 01:27:33.560] Is it, I think it's just a season.
[01:27:33.560 -> 01:27:35.320] No, somebody said to me, that's into me.
[01:27:35.400 -> 01:27:38.160] Every time you get a random fandom, you always jinx them.
[01:27:39.080 -> 01:27:39.400] Right.
[01:27:39.400 -> 01:27:43.600] So why don't you pick red ball for your random fandom and see, see what happens.
[01:27:43.600 -> 01:27:47.640] And I'm like, okay, well, it wouldn't be random fandom if I forced Red Bull on me, but I can
[01:27:47.640 -> 01:27:51.680] mess up my predictions in the hope to spice it up.
[01:27:51.680 -> 01:27:52.680] Fair enough.
[01:27:52.680 -> 01:27:59.800] So my race prediction is Verstappen P1, Perez P2, and I'm going to put Lando Norris in P3.
[01:27:59.800 -> 01:28:03.160] Oh good shout actually.
[01:28:03.160 -> 01:28:04.160] Good shout.
[01:28:04.160 -> 01:28:06.160] I've gone Verstappen, Perez, Leclerc.
[01:28:06.160 -> 01:28:09.400] So the same as my top 3 for Quali.
[01:28:09.400 -> 01:28:11.900] I think the Friar will go well here.
[01:28:11.900 -> 01:28:14.960] I think if Perez has a good qualifying he can go well here.
[01:28:14.960 -> 01:28:15.960] And yeah.
[01:28:15.960 -> 01:28:18.320] Who's going first on the random fandom draw?
[01:28:18.320 -> 01:28:19.320] Oh you mean...
[01:28:19.320 -> 01:28:20.320] Random fandom.
[01:28:20.320 -> 01:28:21.320] Random fandom.
[01:28:21.320 -> 01:28:22.320] Random fandom.
[01:28:22.320 -> 01:28:23.320] Random fandom.
[01:28:23.320 -> 01:28:24.320] Random fandom.
[01:28:24.320 -> 01:28:35.220] Random fandom. Random fandom. Random fandom. Random fandom. Random fandom. We had some random dog barks in the back of that one as well.
[01:28:35.220 -> 01:28:39.240] Random freaking random bark.
[01:28:39.240 -> 01:28:45.000] I don't know who went last last time.
[01:28:45.000 -> 01:28:47.000] I'll go first.
[01:28:47.000 -> 01:28:48.000] I'm gone.
[01:28:48.000 -> 01:28:50.000] Let's spin this bad boy.
[01:28:50.000 -> 01:28:52.000] Right round like a record baby.
[01:28:52.000 -> 01:28:56.000] Oh, this is fate.
[01:28:56.000 -> 01:28:58.000] I've got Williams.
[01:28:58.000 -> 01:29:00.000] Come on mate.
[01:29:00.000 -> 01:29:03.000] And I might be at the Williams pop up tomorrow.
[01:29:03.000 -> 01:29:05.000] Alright, do me, do me, do me. Let's spin you. Oh mate! And I might be at the Williams pop-up tomorrow. Oooh!
[01:29:05.000 -> 01:29:08.000] Alright, do me, do me, do me!
[01:29:08.000 -> 01:29:09.000] I spin you.
[01:29:09.000 -> 01:29:12.000] You should tell them when you get there, it's like, hey, I got you for this weekend.
[01:29:12.000 -> 01:29:13.000] And they're like, what?
[01:29:13.000 -> 01:29:16.000] Yeah, I'm gonna go there tomorrow and be like, don't worry guys, I've jinxed you.
[01:29:16.000 -> 01:29:18.000] Yeah, you dorks.
[01:29:18.000 -> 01:29:21.000] Oh, sucks to be you though, you've got Alpha Towering.
[01:29:21.000 -> 01:29:22.000] Oh my god.
[01:29:24.000 -> 01:29:28.640] Deal with it. I'm sad.
[01:29:28.640 -> 01:29:29.900] I hope they do well.
[01:29:29.900 -> 01:29:31.560] I hope I unjinxed them at so,
[01:29:31.560 -> 01:29:33.040] but to be honest with you,
[01:29:33.040 -> 01:29:33.960] I'm probably not going to
[01:29:33.960 -> 01:29:35.100] get to watch much of the race,
[01:29:35.100 -> 01:29:35.800] cause I'll be at Twitch
[01:29:35.800 -> 01:29:37.520] con the whole freaking time.
[01:29:37.520 -> 01:29:38.920] I true that.
[01:29:38.920 -> 01:29:41.560] But I.
[01:29:41.560 -> 01:29:43.560] Yeah, I still will be doing my buy me
[01:29:43.560 -> 01:29:45.400] a coffee except the reports might not be
[01:29:45.400 -> 01:29:48.120] out until Monday, Tuesday for the entire weekend.
[01:29:48.120 -> 01:29:52.720] So if you guys are subscribed to that, the analysis newsletter, it might be a little
[01:29:52.720 -> 01:29:53.720] bit delayed.
[01:29:53.720 -> 01:29:57.000] So sorry, but we'll be live on that panel.
[01:29:57.000 -> 01:30:06.000] So the butchers, your grandmas, your grandpas, your neighbours.
[01:30:08.400 -> 01:30:09.800] Yeah, the butchers and the grandmas.
[01:30:13.000 -> 01:30:13.300] If you are struggling, reach out, end the stigma.
[01:30:15.900 -> 01:30:17.600] My dogs are barking in support for all of you that are going through some tough times at the moment.
[01:30:18.000 -> 01:30:20.300] Big shout out, big up Dan's dogs.
[01:30:22.000 -> 01:30:23.200] Little shit bags.
[01:30:24.000 -> 01:30:27.840] Dogs, not the children, but it could apply to both.
[01:30:27.840 -> 01:30:32.240] Um, you can't pick them up.
[01:30:32.240 -> 01:30:33.840] Sterling asleep over there.
[01:30:33.840 -> 01:30:38.000] Barry sleep under this desk and he's licking his bum.
[01:30:38.000 -> 01:30:39.000] Nice.
[01:30:39.000 -> 01:30:43.600] But anyway, we'll see you.
[01:30:43.600 -> 01:30:46.320] Uh, we'll try and squeeze an episode next Monday.
[01:30:46.320 -> 01:30:50.320] And if not, we'll have to, we'll have to shift it to Tuesday if I'm like delayed from rides
[01:30:50.320 -> 01:30:51.320] or anything, but yeah.
[01:30:51.320 -> 01:30:52.320] Yeah.
[01:30:52.320 -> 01:30:53.320] Listen, it's good to be back.
[01:30:53.320 -> 01:30:54.320] It's good to be back with you.
[01:30:54.320 -> 01:30:55.320] I'm not talking about you, Blake.
[01:30:55.320 -> 01:30:56.320] I'm talking about the listeners.
[01:30:56.320 -> 01:30:57.320] No, no, I was pointing at the listeners.
[01:30:57.320 -> 01:30:58.320] I'm not pointing.
[01:30:58.320 -> 01:30:59.320] See, this would have been me pointing at you.
[01:30:59.320 -> 01:31:00.320] This is me pointing at you.
[01:31:00.320 -> 01:31:01.320] You're all right as well.
[01:31:01.320 -> 01:31:02.320] I'll buy you a coffee tomorrow.
[01:31:02.320 -> 01:31:03.320] How about that?
[01:31:03.320 -> 01:31:04.320] Yeah.
[01:31:04.320 -> 01:31:05.400] Cool. Until then. Bye. Bye. Bye. No, no, I was pointing at the listeners. See, this would have been me pointing at you. This is me pointing at-
[01:31:05.400 -> 01:31:08.200] You're all right as well. I'll buy you a coffee tomorrow. How about that?
[01:31:08.200 -> 01:31:09.200] Deal.
[01:31:09.200 -> 01:31:12.200] Cool. Until then, fuck off.
