[01:02.960 -> 01:05.120] What do we what do we say?
[01:05.120 -> 01:05.920] I missed last week.
[01:05.920 -> 01:08.480] We had a we had our boy Spanners filling in on the decks.
[01:08.480 -> 01:10.800] He was like this podcast is chaos.
[01:10.800 -> 01:11.680] What are you guys doing?
[01:11.680 -> 01:13.280] What kind of ship are you guys running?
[01:13.280 -> 01:18.000] He basically came in, criticized the way we do things and then went back to his podcast.
[01:18.000 -> 01:18.880] And I was like, OK, cool.
[01:19.520 -> 01:20.560] Have fun, mate.
[01:20.560 -> 01:21.600] Nice to have you back, mate.

[01:26.580 -> 01:28.080] You guys did the Austin wrap up episode.
[01:28.080 -> 01:30.120] I caught some random lurgy.
[01:30.120 -> 01:31.640] I had a little bit of barbecue.
[01:31.640 -> 01:33.240] I did not go to Terry Black's.
[01:33.240 -> 01:35.000] Ripping the hat though.
[01:35.000 -> 01:36.840] And we're back.
[01:36.840 -> 01:37.840] Mexico happened.
[01:37.840 -> 01:39.280] It was a bit of a blur.
[01:39.280 -> 01:42.120] I think it was the altitude that got to me, honestly.
[01:42.120 -> 01:43.120] It did.
[01:43.120 -> 01:44.120] It did.
[01:44.120 -> 01:47.040] But it didn't. It didn't happen for me because I spent the weekend away.
[01:47.040 -> 01:51.920] And if you follow me on Twitter, I was teaching my boy how to jump in muddy puddles.
[01:51.920 -> 01:53.400] How'd you do on that?
[01:53.400 -> 01:54.400] It was good.
[01:54.400 -> 01:58.920] He pretty much drank half a pint of puddle water.
[01:58.920 -> 02:01.080] He is thankfully okay.
[02:01.080 -> 02:07.120] But yeah, I had to catch up on basically everything that happened on Monday and Tuesday.
[02:07.120 -> 02:09.320] So my memory is a little hazy.
[02:09.320 -> 02:11.200] Chat, bear with me.
[02:11.200 -> 02:12.580] So let's talk about it.
[02:12.580 -> 02:16.600] What was what was the thing that caught you out the most about the weekend then?
[02:16.600 -> 02:19.040] Or should we wait to get to that in a minute?
[02:19.040 -> 02:22.160] Let's just jump straight into it.
[02:22.160 -> 02:23.160] Top level.
[02:23.160 -> 02:24.160] What caught you out this weekend?
[02:24.160 -> 02:25.600] And we'll dig into it in a minute.

[02:34.300 -> 02:35.500] I'm about the same.
[02:35.500 -> 02:40.000] So, but yeah, I miss my little Austin shout out.
[02:40.000 -> 02:40.900] So huge, huge.
[02:40.900 -> 02:42.400] Thanks to a Sammy and Kurt.

[02:46.200 -> 02:47.860] also tongue in cheek funny.
[02:47.860 -> 02:52.560] And it says, check in on your mates, especially the Ferrari fans.
[02:52.560 -> 02:56.260] So Ferrari fans, hope you guys are all right.

[03:06.000 -> 03:08.000] We've already mentioned it.
[03:08.000 -> 03:10.000] After Mexico,
[03:10.000 -> 03:12.000] there was some, was it Fabregas stirring up some shit?
[03:12.000 -> 03:14.000] He's like, I've heard a rumor in the paddock.
[03:14.000 -> 03:16.000] It is very serious.
[03:16.000 -> 03:18.000] And he's like, thank you Elon Musk for
[03:18.000 -> 03:20.000] 4 million
[03:20.000 -> 03:22.000] impressions and get that Twitter blue money.
[03:22.000 -> 03:24.000] Yeah.
[03:24.000 -> 03:25.900] I heard a rumor.
[03:26.400 -> 03:27.300] I don't like it.
[03:27.300 -> 03:28.300] No bueno.
[03:28.300 -> 03:30.100] And then he just disappeared into the night.
[03:31.500 -> 03:32.900] Oh my God.
[03:33.900 -> 03:35.700] Sammy's in the chat right now as well.
[03:35.800 -> 03:37.500] Will Boston got involved as well.
[03:37.500 -> 03:37.900] That was it.
[03:37.900 -> 03:39.200] The lip sealed emoji.
[03:39.300 -> 03:43.500] The fucking Waitrose version of Matt Gallagher.
[03:43.900 -> 03:48.440] He got involved. Oh my God.
[03:48.440 -> 03:52.640] What did you use it Poundland or what's the frozen food place?
[03:52.640 -> 03:54.440] Iceland.
[03:54.440 -> 03:55.720] Yeah, exactly.
[03:55.720 -> 03:59.240] But people won't get that because like, wait, that's not from Iceland.
[03:59.240 -> 04:01.240] We're deep into British culture now.
[04:01.240 -> 04:02.240] In it.
[04:02.240 -> 04:03.840] Pick up all the Iceland mums.
[04:03.840 -> 04:06.360] Because it's, you know what? Because it's actually Tuesday, mate. In it. Pick up all the Iceland mums. Cause it's, you know what?
[04:06.360 -> 04:09.440] Because it's actually Tuesday mate, in it.
[04:09.440 -> 04:11.160] It's Tuesday.
[04:11.160 -> 04:12.000] Oh Christ.
[04:12.000 -> 04:15.320] At the speed of a bottle of water.
[04:15.320 -> 04:18.920] Yeah, so basically the internet has set itself on fire
[04:18.920 -> 04:22.800] with all these, what these rumors could be,
[04:22.800 -> 04:24.060] you know, what's the news.
[04:24.060 -> 04:29.640] I mean, I've heard everything from Alonzo to Red Bull, which I would love because that's
[04:29.640 -> 04:30.640] pure chaos.
[04:30.640 -> 04:31.640] Yeah, exactly.
[04:31.640 -> 04:39.680] Lance Stroll selling Aston Martin because someone identified a bunch of shares being
[04:39.680 -> 04:40.680] sold.
[04:40.680 -> 04:47.440] It was like, oh, Lance Stroll, sorry, Lawrence Stroll has sold $200 million worth of Aston Martin shares, which is great.
[04:47.440 -> 04:51.040] However, the person that posted the image forgot to account for the fact that shares
[04:51.040 -> 04:52.640] are dealt in pence, not pounds.
[04:52.640 -> 04:58.160] So it was actually only 2 million pounds worth of shares, which really is not much.
[04:58.160 -> 04:58.960] Yeah.
[04:58.960 -> 05:01.280] Lawrence isn't like, Oh yeah, sorry, I dropped that.
[05:01.280 -> 05:02.080] You know what?
[05:02.080 -> 05:05.120] It's going to cost me more time to call the bank
[05:05.120 -> 05:06.360] about that two million pounds
[05:06.360 -> 05:08.840] than it is to pick those fuckers up, so.
[05:08.840 -> 05:10.520] Yeah, so, and then,
[05:12.080 -> 05:16.320] a spicy one I quite like is Carlos Sainz going to Red Bull.
[05:16.320 -> 05:19.640] I liked that one, that was left field, I like that.
[05:19.640 -> 05:22.160] That's not even, like that,
[05:22.160 -> 05:24.360] there's not enough power behind that
[05:24.360 -> 05:26.320] to even get the rumor mill turning.
[05:26.320 -> 05:28.160] That is like a nonstarter for me.
[05:28.160 -> 05:29.160] That one.
[05:29.160 -> 05:31.420] But yeah, we had all sorts.
[05:31.420 -> 05:32.420] We did.
[05:32.420 -> 05:36.080] We did get a couple of our favorite rumor mill things from the weekend.
[05:36.080 -> 05:41.440] Rory Aston Martin's air department is just a room of four photocopiers.
[05:41.440 -> 05:47.280] They clearly haven't paid their support bill for the last few months
[05:47.280 -> 05:50.160] because it's all gone downhill for them.
[05:50.760 -> 05:52.120] Yeah, seriously. Dr.
[05:52.120 -> 05:54.200] OBS, how dare you, dude?
[05:54.360 -> 05:56.560] Blake is not really some American dude.
[05:56.800 -> 05:57.800] He's really Canadian.
[05:59.160 -> 06:02.920] I'm not going to that being said, that being said, I love
[06:02.920 -> 06:04.920] Canadians, I don't know any Canadians I don't like.
[06:05.000 -> 06:05.900] Honestly, Felipe Aston Martin was sold to the Finnish That being said, that being said, I love Canadians. I don't know any Canadians I don't like.
[06:10.100 -> 06:11.900] Honestly, Felipe Aston Martin was sold to the Finnish government so that Hackney can end his sabbatical.
[06:13.000 -> 06:13.800] I like that one.
[06:15.000 -> 06:18.300] MLG Sports helmet markers recent interviews were actually Dan
[06:18.300 -> 06:21.300] Moolaeg is him and prank calling journalists.
[06:22.200 -> 06:22.700] Yeah, guys.
[06:22.700 -> 06:24.300] We asked for rumors, not the truth.
[06:24.900 -> 06:25.160] Yeah, exactly. Maurice Mack for rumors, not the truth.
[06:25.160 -> 06:26.360] Yeah, exactly.
[06:26.360 -> 06:29.720] Maurice Macken, 2024 will have 24 sprint weekends.
[06:29.720 -> 06:31.760] God, I would literally stop watching sports.
[06:31.760 -> 06:35.000] Yeah, Maurice, if that happens, you're going straight on the no flight list.
[06:35.000 -> 06:36.000] Yeah, exactly.
[06:36.000 -> 06:42.320] Golden Domer, Christian Horner to buy a majority stake of Mercedes F1 since he's already owned
[06:42.320 -> 06:45.640] them the last three years and he wants to make it official.
[06:45.640 -> 06:54.480] Oh my God, that's a little bit too unhinged for this place.
[06:54.480 -> 07:00.040] That was beautiful shit, Housery.
[07:00.040 -> 07:01.600] We like that one.
[07:01.600 -> 07:05.960] Last one, Tim Bailey F1 to add the Indy 500 back onto the championship calendar.
[07:05.960 -> 07:07.720] Yeah, do it.
[07:07.720 -> 07:08.720] Why not?
[07:08.720 -> 07:13.240] But that doesn't really line up, but that would be dope.
[07:13.240 -> 07:17.480] Before we get into the Mexico Grand Prix review, though.
[07:17.480 -> 07:20.320] I was I did the I want to talk about this because I didn't get a chance to talk about
[07:20.320 -> 07:23.120] it on our pod last week because I was sabbatical.
[07:23.120 -> 07:24.920] Big Texan adventure.
[07:24.920 -> 07:28.480] I'll make it super short and I'll probably stream Tarkov again later this
[07:28.480 -> 07:29.240] week to talk about it.
[07:29.240 -> 07:31.480] But basically I went out there with Red Bull USA.
[07:31.520 -> 07:34.720] I got to interview Max and Checo for turn 17 hospitality.
[07:35.120 -> 07:38.320] Um, that video is actually going to be live tomorrow.
[07:38.320 -> 07:39.560] I'm just waiting on the thumbnail.
[07:39.640 -> 07:41.240] Deezer to finish that one up.
[07:41.680 -> 07:42.480] That'll go live.
[07:43.440 -> 07:47.840] I had the Red Bull USA crew are absolutely insane.
[07:47.840 -> 07:49.760] They're just like, yeah, we'll do all this cool stuff.
[07:49.760 -> 07:53.880] We went to a rally school on Friday doing free practice because free practice sucks.
[07:53.880 -> 07:55.920] Came straight back for qualifying.
[07:55.920 -> 07:57.660] Yeah, it was.
[07:57.660 -> 08:01.040] It was actually a great time.
[08:01.040 -> 08:04.600] But let's.
[08:04.600 -> 08:09.200] Monday I might have had a couple of tequilas at the Red Bull party, you know,
[08:09.200 -> 08:15.680] after the race. I was a little bit sleepy, but I did the Sky Sports F1 podcast in the
[08:15.680 -> 08:29.980] morning. It was Jack Dewan, who was insanely well-spoken. He was awesome. There was Rachel and there was Matt, right? And we talked about the plank gate
[08:29.980 -> 08:39.340] because in Austin, LeClaire and Hamilton got disqualified for plank wear. So they asked
[08:39.340 -> 08:43.060] me, you know, Matt brought up the question, he's like, well, we got somebody technically,
[08:43.060 -> 08:47.680] let's talk about the plank. And I explained the planks are there to regulate ride heights. That's it. You
[08:47.680 -> 08:56.000] cannot go lower. And then I talked about it very generally. And then on Mexico Thursday, Presspin,
[08:56.640 -> 09:00.400] Lewis referred back to the podcast and he's like, yeah, you were almost some American dude.
[09:01.200 -> 09:05.840] And then I can't tell if he was talking about me in general or people in general talking
[09:05.840 -> 09:09.760] about their understanding of how planks and ride heights work.
[09:09.760 -> 09:16.040] But he proceeded to not do a very good job of explaining how that all worked to say that
[09:16.040 -> 09:17.040] I was wrong.
[09:17.040 -> 09:18.040] I didn't know what to read.
[09:18.040 -> 09:19.680] I didn't read into it.
[09:19.680 -> 09:21.960] I was just like, is he trying to?
[09:21.960 -> 09:24.520] There's a lot of people like, yo bro, he's trying to roast you.
[09:24.520 -> 09:26.720] It's like, I'm not really sure you cheap that.
[09:26.720 -> 09:27.720] It was interesting.
[09:27.720 -> 09:29.800] There's lots of, there's lots of ways of looking at this.
[09:29.800 -> 09:36.000] He's either a calling you a complete fucking fraud, which true, right?
[09:36.000 -> 09:40.520] Uh, B he's calling everybody else fucking frauds.
[09:40.520 -> 09:41.520] Also true, correct.
[09:41.520 -> 09:44.480] You know, I don't think there's any downsides to this.
[09:44.480 -> 09:47.480] And uh, if I was you and I had Lewis Hamilton question my
[09:48.200 -> 09:54.000] Credentials, I'd fucking pin it on my bio mate. I'll stick on top of my CV. I'd wear that like a badge of honor
[09:54.280 -> 09:56.280] the American dude
[09:57.720 -> 10:03.480] You know what no, I'm like do that but interestingly it was total wolf
[10:01.720 -> 10:04.120] Interestingly. It was total wolf.
[10:04.120 -> 10:08.440] Who's the fucking technical James Allison?
[10:08.440 -> 10:10.880] We're all like, yeah, we were too low.
[10:10.880 -> 10:12.160] And this is like now, mate, we weren't too low.
[10:12.160 -> 10:13.160] That's not how that works.
[10:13.160 -> 10:15.520] I was like, OK, but anyway.
[10:15.520 -> 10:17.920] Well, I appreciate that.
[10:17.920 -> 10:18.920] But I do.
[10:18.920 -> 10:22.480] I do know what I'm talking about when it comes to that thing.
[10:22.480 -> 10:25.200] I've seen on TV, exactly.
[10:30.640 -> 10:31.280] Why don't we get into the old Mexico Grand Prix, shall we?
[10:31.600 -> 10:33.280] Yay!
[10:34.480 -> 10:35.600] Do you have a soundbite for that? No, did you like that though?
[10:35.600 -> 10:38.960] I tried to improvise sort of my joy for Mexico there.
[10:38.960 -> 10:39.200] Yay!
[10:41.520 -> 10:42.080] You know what?
[10:43.360 -> 10:44.960] I don't think it's a classic.
[10:44.960 -> 10:45.080] I don't think it's a classic.
[10:45.080 -> 10:46.720] I don't think it's a banger.
[10:46.720 -> 10:49.720] I don't think a whole lot about it.
[10:49.720 -> 10:58.360] It was only good when it was earlier in the hybrid era when everyone's cars weren't optimized
[10:58.360 -> 11:00.040] to run at high altitude.
[11:00.040 -> 11:03.840] So everybody's turbos kept spinning out and exploding.
[11:03.840 -> 11:05.360] You'd get random DNFs.
[11:05.880 -> 11:08.720] Um, I like the stadium section.
[11:08.720 -> 11:09.480] I think that's cool.
[11:10.120 -> 11:11.080] It's so vibey.
[11:11.080 -> 11:11.720] It's so cool.
[11:11.720 -> 11:14.720] The stadium section, uh, the rest of it, I can give a shit about.
[11:15.240 -> 11:15.560] Yeah.
[11:15.680 -> 11:21.960] I, I think I feel about the same, uh, about that place in general.
[11:22.440 -> 11:26.000] Like it just doesn't really... Have you ever been?
[11:26.000 -> 11:28.000] I've never been out there so I don't know what it's like.
[11:28.000 -> 11:30.000] Do we have it on the calendar?
[11:30.000 -> 11:32.000] 15, 16, 17?
[11:32.000 -> 11:34.000] I'm not sure.
[11:34.000 -> 11:36.000] 17, Max won, and I was in the stadium
[11:36.000 -> 11:38.000] at the podium ceremony
[11:38.000 -> 11:40.000] and it was fucking wild.
[11:40.000 -> 11:42.000] It was wild.
[11:42.000 -> 11:44.000] I've got some videos on my phone
[11:44.000 -> 11:46.320] and it was like, there were so many people down there.
[11:46.320 -> 11:49.920] But yeah, I've not 2015, 16 and 17.
[11:49.920 -> 11:50.920] I've been there.
[11:50.920 -> 11:54.720] It's it's a cool track as well, and I think it's.
[11:54.720 -> 11:57.120] As a track goes.
[11:57.120 -> 11:58.500] It's got a little bit going on.
[11:58.500 -> 12:02.440] You know, it's definitely punishing in the drivers.
[12:02.440 -> 12:05.920] They're working for that to put everything together, especially you've got the high
[12:05.920 -> 12:09.720] speed section overheating the tires like hell. You've got some long straights with great
[12:09.720 -> 12:14.080] overtaking opportunities, and then you've got the super techie stadium section, which
[12:14.080 -> 12:18.760] you can, especially turning in the right hand or turn 12 as you turn into the stadium. Things
[12:18.760 -> 12:26.600] were won and lost in that, and we'll come back to that for especially with. Yeah, boy, Daniel Ricardo.
[12:26.600 -> 12:28.360] There's a lot worse tracks out there.
[12:28.360 -> 12:29.080] Put it that way.
[12:29.760 -> 12:32.400] I wouldn't say it's like on my bottom 10 tracks.
[12:32.840 -> 12:35.120] No, it's not definitely in the middle.
[12:35.120 -> 12:35.680] I'd put it.
[12:36.280 -> 12:37.240] Do you say mid?
[12:37.920 -> 12:38.880] I'd call it mid.
[12:38.880 -> 12:40.120] Yes, mid.
[12:41.520 -> 12:42.920] Here's an interesting thing, though.
[12:42.920 -> 12:44.360] If you look back from the weekend.
[12:47.120 -> 12:51.760] One of the big we are. I'm not going to go on about it, but it's that usual thing where there's high altitude, so you've got very few air molecules,
[12:51.760 -> 12:56.160] substantially less air molecules, so you have less drag, less downforce, and you have worse
[12:56.160 -> 12:59.280] cooling for your engine and worse cooling for your brakes.
[12:59.280 -> 13:04.560] But go through and look at the cooling configurations compared to the week before.
[13:04.560 -> 13:07.700] Compared to that, and you look like along the sides of the headrest that there's like the
[13:07.700 -> 13:11.600] Louvre panels and like some of those were absolutely wow.
[13:11.600 -> 13:15.440] They're like, like somebody just took a saw and started slashing
[13:15.440 -> 13:16.800] holes on the side of the body work.
[13:17.300 -> 13:17.600] Yeah.
[13:17.600 -> 13:21.780] I saw the, uh, Haas car and that looked like, um, someone had gone down the
[13:21.780 -> 13:23.480] side of it with like a boat propeller.
[13:24.140 -> 13:24.400] Yeah.
[13:24.600 -> 13:28.500] Like that's how severe the cuts were in that and I was like toasty.
[13:31.500 -> 13:36.000] Yeah, yeah, even some of the hot hot tracks look less than that damn air
[13:36.000 -> 13:39.800] monocles, but let's get into the weekend free practice.
[13:39.800 -> 13:43.100] One Pirelli brought a new C4 that they're going to test for next year.
[13:43.200 -> 13:49.160] I all I could tell was it was a slightly different version of, of the, um,
[13:50.240 -> 13:55.480] C4 compound, just a little tweak, which I don't particularly know what else was going on.
[13:56.040 -> 14:02.520] Uh, yeah, it was the modified C4 compound, uh, for next year, but they've not released
[14:02.520 -> 14:06.040] any info because I remember we did this last time we did a PIRIT light tire test and they said
[14:06.040 -> 14:08.680] instantaneously, they're like, yes, this is crap.
[14:09.200 -> 14:12.360] And I was like, that's really unlike Pirelli to sort of come out
[14:12.360 -> 14:13.880] with a statement like that.
[14:13.960 -> 14:17.480] Um, they've gone back to business as usual, and they've told us absolutely
[14:17.480 -> 14:19.400] nothing about how this tire test went.
[14:19.420 -> 14:20.640] So, uh, who knows?
[14:21.480 -> 14:23.000] But they probably don't know.
[14:23.640 -> 14:24.440] Like, yeah.
[14:24.480 -> 14:27.000] I mean, also keep in mind.
[14:27.000 -> 14:30.660] Free practice one in Mexico is a shit show in terms of track conditions.
[14:30.660 -> 14:32.720] It's just like no grip.
[14:32.720 -> 14:35.360] It's not used particularly frequently as far as I'm aware.
[14:35.360 -> 14:37.120] I could be incorrect on that.
[14:37.120 -> 14:38.120] Fine.
[14:38.120 -> 14:40.900] But low grip, dirty track.
[14:40.900 -> 14:43.800] No downforce on the cars, everybody adapting.
[14:43.800 -> 14:47.040] And it's a perfect time to throw in your rookie drivers
[14:47.040 -> 14:48.920] to get them up to speed on a Formula One car.
[14:48.920 -> 14:51.160] And I guess everybody's been kind of like holding off
[14:51.640 -> 14:54.200] on putting their rookie drivers in free practice one sessions
[14:54.200 -> 14:56.840] because you have to run two rookie drivers.
[14:57.320 -> 14:59.320] Remember last year?
[14:59.680 -> 15:01.640] Alfa Romeo put Joe in the car.
[15:02.600 -> 15:08.000] And he was a rookie driver at the time, And he basically burned two of their rookie drives.
[15:08.000 -> 15:11.000] She can't remember this.
[15:11.000 -> 15:12.560] Yeah, yeah.
[15:12.560 -> 15:14.760] Yeah, they did that.
[15:14.760 -> 15:17.200] But uh, what else we got?
[15:17.200 -> 15:18.800] Here's a here's a good one.
[15:18.800 -> 15:23.160] My buddy, John is now race engineer at Alpine.
[15:23.160 -> 15:25.280] He was performance engineer before
[15:25.280 -> 15:29.280] and he ran Jack Doon in free practice one.
[15:29.740 -> 15:32.040] And he's now Gasly's race engineer.
[15:32.040 -> 15:32.280] Cool.
[15:33.480 -> 15:35.800] He's he's a fucking he's a really, really freaking good dude.
[15:36.980 -> 15:39.540] Olly Behrman, everybody was raving about him in Kevin's house.
[15:39.540 -> 15:41.340] They're like, oh, my God, he's amazing.
[15:41.340 -> 15:43.280] To be fair, I don't watch any feeder series.
[15:43.680 -> 15:49.400] I barely have enough time to watch from the One and write all the analysis and crap about
[15:49.400 -> 15:50.400] it.
[15:50.400 -> 15:54.320] What did you, did you see anything when you went back and revisit the old practice?
[15:54.320 -> 15:55.320] Anything that stood out?
[15:55.320 -> 15:56.320] Not really.
[15:56.320 -> 16:01.280] And this was something I was going to talk to you about and talk to the podcast about
[16:01.280 -> 16:06.320] is rookie drivers in FP1 sessions don't mean a goddamn thing.
[16:06.320 -> 16:11.880] Is that why Fredrik Vestey was like so insanely slow in the Mercedes as he washed or was he just
[16:11.880 -> 16:17.800] doing like an aero test for them? Well, see this is it. If you don't know, you would look at it and
[16:17.800 -> 16:23.640] go, oh my God, this guy is absolute trash. But you answered your question with what you said there. He
[16:23.640 -> 16:25.220] was probably doing an aero test.
[16:25.220 -> 16:27.160] They were probably calibrating things.
[16:27.160 -> 16:29.120] They were probably like, I don't know.
[16:29.120 -> 16:33.600] I assume, I don't know off the top of my head, but I assume Frederick runs in their sim now
[16:33.600 -> 16:34.600] and again.
[16:34.600 -> 16:39.360] So a lot of it will be a comparison towards the sim.
[16:39.360 -> 16:41.880] Are the models too real life?
[16:41.880 -> 16:43.640] Does it feel like you'd expect sort of thing?
[16:43.640 -> 16:44.640] No one's out there.
[16:44.640 -> 16:46.360] And are you four seconds off the pace?
[16:46.360 -> 16:51.360] Yeah, no one's out there as a rookie saying, right, low fuel, slap on some soft tires.
[16:51.360 -> 16:55.160] Yeah, we get some new super softs mate, have it!
[16:55.160 -> 16:57.080] No, they're not doing that.
[16:57.080 -> 17:02.720] Isaac Hedger in the Alpha Tauri and then Thierry Pochette in the Alpha and he basically would
[17:02.720 -> 17:05.400] go on an outlap and then come back in the garage like yeah mate it's fucked.
[17:05.400 -> 17:06.400] Yeah, his check bounced.
[17:06.400 -> 17:11.400] Yeah, they're like mmmm, mmmm, no good.
[17:11.400 -> 17:13.400] Yeah, so fantastic.
[17:13.400 -> 17:17.400] That's one way to get your rookie session over and done with.
[17:17.400 -> 17:18.400] Yeah, exactly.
[17:18.400 -> 17:20.400] Outlap, inlap, job done, cheers mate.
[17:20.400 -> 17:25.760] Yeah, but I think, don't they need to complete mileage for superlicense points?
[17:25.760 -> 17:28.160] Am I correct on that?
[17:28.160 -> 17:29.160] They do.
[17:29.160 -> 17:34.600] It's, I want to say 100km but I think I might be talking out my backside on that one.
[17:34.600 -> 17:36.840] There's something about the mileage necessary.
[17:36.840 -> 17:39.040] Unless I'm getting that confused for something else.
[17:39.040 -> 17:41.480] Oh 300km chat is telling us.
[17:41.480 -> 17:44.000] That's for like young driver testing.
[17:44.000 -> 17:46.320] So there's a filming day in that and everything
[17:46.320 -> 17:54.320] else. So it's 100 clicks. 100 clicks is enough to get some points, I guess. I'll look at
[17:54.320 -> 17:58.520] that later because I don't, like I said, I really don't give a shit about rookie drivers.
[17:58.520 -> 18:05.300] None of us have a clue. We're all fucking frauds here. Exactly. Um, free practice too.
[18:06.400 -> 18:08.200] I, I don't know.
[18:08.200 -> 18:11.900] Free practice too is pretty basic, straightforward, low fuel runs, race
[18:11.900 -> 18:12.400] runs.
[18:12.600 -> 18:15.500] Um, and a lot of people were talking about the race pace data from Friday.
[18:16.500 -> 18:18.000] And it was completely useless.
[18:18.200 -> 18:18.800] Yeah, normal.
[18:18.800 -> 18:24.400] The only thing of remembrance or whatever that session was Alonzo having
[18:24.400 -> 18:25.440] a lovely little spin.
[18:26.480 -> 18:29.640] Which obviously turned out to be a bit of foreshadow in there.
[18:29.640 -> 18:32.240] Because he was going to do the exact same thing later?
[18:32.240 -> 18:34.400] Yeah, maybe he was practicing.
[18:34.400 -> 18:39.200] Maybe this is like this year's Singapore 2008 or whatever.
[18:39.200 -> 18:41.000] Oh my god, you can't.
[18:41.000 -> 18:41.640] Alright, you're done.
[18:41.640 -> 18:42.960] Start that rumor, why not?
[18:42.960 -> 18:43.960] Yeah.
[18:43.960 -> 18:45.480] Free practice three, Albon splits for Stappen in pairs and we're thinking, God, you can't. Alright, you don't start that rumor. Why not? Yeah, free practice.
[18:45.480 -> 18:50.800] 3 Albans splits for staffing in pairs and we're thinking, oh shit.
[18:50.800 -> 18:52.880] Oh shit.
[18:52.880 -> 18:54.880] Ferrari didn't really get any good laps on the board.
[18:54.880 -> 18:58.960] They had traffic and they were sitting in 13th and 15th and it was kind of clear that
[18:58.960 -> 19:10.000] they were not off the pace, but they weren't exactly on the pace all weekend. Daniel was kind of there, there about all weekend.
[19:10.000 -> 19:15.200] Yuki, they knew Yuki was taking some penalties for engine components.
[19:15.200 -> 19:17.400] I didn't really look too much at him.
[19:17.400 -> 19:22.900] But what was the thing you put something here about Kevin's engineer?
[19:22.900 -> 19:25.040] Yeah, Yeah.
[19:25.040 -> 19:34.520] So after, after the old Kevin and Charles incident, um, K-Mag comes across on the
[19:34.520 -> 19:39.620] radio and then his engineer comes back to him, like quite sharply and very sort of
[19:39.620 -> 19:43.200] like sternly says, well, I did warn you about it.
[19:43.200 -> 19:44.880] And then you asked me about those extra laps.
[19:44.880 -> 19:46.200] So I can't do it all at once.
[19:46.200 -> 19:52.640] And I was like, Oh, my God, that was very sassy.
[19:52.640 -> 19:53.640] I like that.
[19:53.640 -> 19:54.640] I like that.
[19:54.640 -> 19:57.640] It was like he was telling off his child.
[19:57.640 -> 20:02.400] Yeah, it's like we're going to burn your car down in the race anyway.
[20:02.400 -> 20:03.400] So fuck off, mate.
[20:03.400 -> 20:06.160] Let's move on to qualifying. It's like we're going to burn your car down in the race anyway, so fuck off mate.
[20:07.600 -> 20:08.240] Well, let's move on to qualifying.
[20:09.440 -> 20:09.920] Talk to me Goose. Why not?
[20:09.920 -> 20:12.160] Because this was an absolute clown fiesta.
[20:13.360 -> 20:16.480] I like what you did there, the local version of the festival.
[20:19.440 -> 20:22.880] So here you go chat and listeners, this is what I wrote in my
[20:22.880 -> 20:24.880] notes as I re-watched qualifying today.
[20:25.080 -> 20:25.840] Everyone's fucking around stopping at pit exit to build a gap to get around the track Here you go, chat and listeners. This is what I wrote in my notes as I rewatched qualifying today.
[20:29.520 -> 20:30.800] Everyone's fucking around stopping at pick exit to build a gap to get around the track time delta rule.
[20:31.520 -> 20:35.040] Now, that was great, but it's like they didn't do anything about it the other
[20:35.040 -> 20:36.600] week. Are they going to start doing it now?
[20:36.600 -> 20:41.960] Because the idea of that track delta gap is so that you don't have huge delta
[20:41.960 -> 20:43.080] speeds on the track.
[20:43.240 -> 20:46.640] You don't have some guy steaming through at 300 kilometers an hour while
[20:46.640 -> 20:49.040] people are making a car park across the track.
[20:49.040 -> 20:49.320] So.
[20:49.920 -> 20:50.260] Yeah.
[20:50.260 -> 20:54.820] So I'm again, you know, spending my full-time job wisely by
[20:54.820 -> 20:57.120] reading FIA decision documents.
[20:59.240 -> 21:03.940] Um, I read the, uh, the investigations of the, I think, who is it that got pinged?
[21:03.960 -> 21:06.640] George, Max, and Alonzo, I think were the is it that got pinged george max and alonzo i think
[21:06.640 -> 21:13.440] were the official people that got pinged for it yeah and uh in the the document it basically says
[21:13.440 -> 21:18.720] the race director accepts fair play gentlemen that was a very clever way of getting around the uh
[21:18.720 -> 21:23.360] delta times we'll look into that in the future yeah but it's like one of those things it's like
[21:21.000 -> 21:21.500] into that in the future.
[21:23.080 -> 21:23.580] Yeah, but it's like one of those things. It's like.
[21:24.600 -> 21:26.880] It's more than often than not.
[21:27.440 -> 21:31.280] The only thing it's having over is other people, so people are going to have to get
[21:31.280 -> 21:35.440] wise to that and know that they're going to make gaps and accept the fact that they
[21:35.440 -> 21:39.520] might have to run at suboptimal times to get track position, not just running at the
[21:39.520 -> 21:40.280] end of every session.
[21:40.560 -> 21:42.760] I think they're going to figure it out.
[21:44.760 -> 21:48.680] A shout out to Crofty for incorrectly saying that Max was supposed to be penalized for
[21:48.680 -> 21:50.600] going slow in the pit lane in Singapore again.
[21:50.600 -> 21:54.080] I mean, Max just kind of rolled through it.
[21:54.080 -> 21:56.980] Russell was standstill for a while.
[21:56.980 -> 22:02.200] We also had Williams investigated for their jack being in the pit lane by the rear left
[22:02.200 -> 22:04.400] corner jack or wheel gun guy.
[22:04.400 -> 22:06.240] Who, somebody ran into that?
[22:06.240 -> 22:08.720] I didn't realize Yuki actually ran into it.
[22:08.720 -> 22:11.840] Yeah, he had a little ding dong on it.
[22:11.840 -> 22:18.880] But yeah, at the end of Q1, Alonso spins, caused a little yellow flag.
[22:18.880 -> 22:25.880] And then we lost Akon, Magnussen, Stroll, Norris and Sargent.
[22:25.880 -> 22:27.880] Norris a bit of a shocker there.
[22:27.880 -> 22:30.400] Ocon I wasn't expecting to lose either because they were,
[22:30.400 -> 22:32.400] they were alright.
[22:32.400 -> 22:38.000] Yeah I think Ocon's last run got affected by the yellow flag of Alonso.
[22:38.000 -> 22:42.680] Norris had a bit of a shit time in Q1.
[22:42.680 -> 22:46.480] He aborted the first run on mediums. Apparently there was
[22:46.480 -> 22:50.880] an issue with a card, I don't know any more than that. So then when he comes out to do
[22:50.880 -> 22:55.760] his final run on the softs, but then he has like a massive snap of overs there coming
[22:55.760 -> 22:56.760] out of the S6.
[22:56.760 -> 23:01.440] He's got a dab of oppo he applied to the card to keep it.
[23:01.440 -> 23:05.040] He did well to keep it, to keep it straight.
[23:05.640 -> 23:06.040] Yeah.
[23:07.200 -> 23:08.600] So, yeah, that that had him over.
[23:09.240 -> 23:09.640] Yeah.
[23:09.640 -> 23:11.360] But yeah, so Q2.
[23:12.520 -> 23:19.720] Albon almost makes it into Q3, but he gets done for track limits over the apex of turn two.
[23:19.720 -> 23:24.680] He fully mounts the absolute shit out of that curb.
[23:24.640 -> 23:25.480] fully mounts the absolute shit out of that curb.
[23:28.400 -> 23:31.120] And then, yeah. He gets he gets his time dropped.
[23:33.880 -> 23:37.240] Somebody's there's a lot of people talking that Yuki
[23:38.400 -> 23:42.760] sacrificed himself to give Daniel a tow for Q3,
[23:43.200 -> 23:47.880] but Daniel's top speed was so fucking low all weekend. Anyway, I couldn't even tell
[23:49.280 -> 23:51.280] So low
[23:51.800 -> 23:55.900] Yeah, like the alpha tower you there's something about it I'll come back to that in a second
[23:55.900 -> 24:00.080] But uh, yeah, and it was q2 when the Williams left the Jack in the pit lane
[24:00.080 -> 24:00.960] They get a little fine
[24:00.960 -> 24:05.200] And if I are gonna go buy a nice bottle of tequila and share that with Will Buxton and
[24:05.200 -> 24:07.000] Albert Fabrega at the Sunday night party.
[24:07.000 -> 24:10.640] And they're going to tweet random chaos.
[24:10.640 -> 24:12.680] The sacrificing of Yuki.
[24:12.680 -> 24:18.040] Well, we'll get into that in a minute, actually.
[24:18.040 -> 24:32.600] So we lost Gasly, Hulkenberg, Alonso, Albon and Tsunoda. Yeah, Gasly, Hulkenberg, Alonso, not surprised the Alfa, not sorry, the Aston Martin, absolutely
[24:32.600 -> 24:33.600] in the mud.
[24:33.600 -> 24:34.960] They're going from bad to worse.
[24:34.960 -> 24:40.240] And this could have been, you know, the low altitude classic, but their car went from
[24:40.240 -> 24:45.360] doing lots of downforce to having no downforce and being terrible everywhere.
[24:47.440 -> 24:51.440] Yeah, it just didn't look comfortable on any of the curbs or bumps or weekend.
[24:52.240 -> 24:59.200] No, no, it's interesting because Lance is doing a terrible job, Alonzo's not able to get anything
[24:59.200 -> 25:05.360] out of it. That car was a weapon at the start of the season, and I'm convinced they got hit with the flexi front wing.
[25:05.360 -> 25:08.200] Like, look, he that came out.
[25:08.200 -> 25:12.740] Yeah, I'm convinced because it was like a step change in performance and characteristics
[25:12.740 -> 25:13.780] of the car.
[25:13.780 -> 25:19.580] So the TD plus, you know, development directions that were based on because the idea of is
[25:19.580 -> 25:23.560] like, you know, when you're developing a car, you're planning like months ahead, right?
[25:23.560 -> 25:26.560] And like, hey, fuckers were taking away your flexi front wing, by the way, and you're like,
[25:26.560 -> 25:30.720] shit, you know, all the performance we've been putting on the car was depending on those balance
[25:30.720 -> 25:37.040] characteristics that we had. Yeah, I wonder how hardly they may have been hit by the change,
[25:37.040 -> 25:42.000] the construction change of tire at Silverstone as well. You know what, man, I really don't.
[25:43.040 -> 25:46.240] I don't feel like that's been a big thing at all. I really don't feel like that's been a big thing at all.
[25:46.240 -> 25:49.820] I really don't feel like that's been a big thing at all because nobody really talked
[25:49.820 -> 25:53.200] about it a and if it was one of those things where people are getting fucked about it,
[25:53.200 -> 25:54.200] they'd mention it.
[25:54.200 -> 25:56.440] Yeah, well, we're starting rumors this episode.
[25:56.440 -> 25:57.760] So that's what we're going with.
[25:57.760 -> 26:02.440] Yeah, really fucked Aston Martin strategically because of some stuff that Alonzo said about
[26:02.440 -> 26:03.440] Pirelli.
[26:03.440 -> 26:05.120] Yeah, Mario's Aston Martin was delivered
[26:05.120 -> 26:08.360] and it broke down in the first 100 miles.
[26:08.360 -> 26:10.200] So they decided to change the construction
[26:10.200 -> 26:12.040] to have them all over.
[26:13.360 -> 26:15.000] Get rekt, nerds.
[26:15.000 -> 26:16.640] Let's go to Q3.
[26:16.640 -> 26:19.080] How the hell did we go from Ferrari,
[26:19.080 -> 26:21.760] roughly anonymous all weekend
[26:21.760 -> 26:24.640] to locking out the front row?
[26:24.640 -> 26:25.040] No, that was on nobody's bingo cards, I'm convinced. Like fair play to them out the front row.
[26:25.040 -> 26:26.880] That was on nobody's bingo cards, I'm convinced.
[26:26.880 -> 26:28.360] Like fair play to them.
[26:28.360 -> 26:29.360] Absolutely fair play.
[26:29.360 -> 26:31.640] But they were absolutely nowhere.
[26:31.640 -> 26:34.000] Verstappen P3.
[26:34.000 -> 26:36.680] Ricardo out qualifies Perez.
[26:36.680 -> 26:41.120] So there's 70,000 or 700th of a second between Verstappen, Ricardo and Perez and people
[26:41.120 -> 26:43.880] like, Oh mate, Perez is done.
[26:43.880 -> 26:47.920] Like that's one of his closest qualifying performances to Max in the last couple of
[26:47.920 -> 26:48.920] races now.
[26:48.920 -> 26:51.920] A 10th and a half.
[26:51.920 -> 26:52.920] Statistically.
[26:52.920 -> 26:55.800] Yeah, I'll go with your guidance on that one.
[26:55.800 -> 26:56.800] You're the numbers guy.
[26:56.800 -> 26:57.800] I'm just the vibes guy.
[26:57.800 -> 27:02.280] Well, I mean, he's missed a shitload of Q3s and even further back than that.
[27:02.280 -> 27:03.280] So yeah, fair enough.
[27:03.280 -> 27:06.520] A 10th and a half off the big man is not too bad.
[27:06.520 -> 27:09.920] However, Ricardo P4.
[27:09.920 -> 27:13.720] I'm completely, this is the big shock for me the weekend
[27:13.720 -> 27:19.720] because I always assumed that AlphaTauri was an absolute pile of shite.
[27:19.720 -> 27:20.920] How?
[27:20.920 -> 27:22.120] I kind of, I think it is.
[27:22.120 -> 27:24.520] Well, how? What? Why?
[27:24.520 -> 27:25.000] All right, let's talk about that. I don't know how I kind of I think it is. Well, how, what, why?
[27:26.640 -> 27:27.600] All right, let's let's let's talk about that.
[27:31.400 -> 27:32.100] The keys to performance for the Alpha Taurea, at least for Carter's qualifying
[27:33.500 -> 27:33.800] super high drag, they are.
[27:36.400 -> 27:37.240] We were at that track where everybody puts the biggest, dirtiest wings on their car.
[27:38.340 -> 27:40.340] Because they need all the downforce because the air molecules,
[27:40.500 -> 27:44.300] the air monocles thing, he's losing two tenths of a second
[27:44.840 -> 27:47.240] with the RS on down to turn one, a further tenth of
[27:47.240 -> 27:49.640] a second down to turn four.
[27:49.640 -> 27:51.760] To everyone else.
[27:51.760 -> 27:53.440] That's that's pretty serious there.
[27:53.440 -> 27:58.280] The Alpha tire was at the bottom of the speeds.
[27:58.280 -> 28:00.480] Ricardo was one of the strongest cars in turn 12.
[28:00.480 -> 28:09.540] He was holding his own in the high speed section and Ricardo nailed his lap like turn 12 Both the Red Bulls completely fucked up turn 12 not fucked it up, but they were not strong there
[28:09.900 -> 28:16.740] It's it's I asked a couple people in the know about the air molecule stuff and how that interacts with aerodynamic surfaces
[28:17.180 -> 28:19.740] And one of the speculations was that potentially
[28:20.620 -> 28:26.560] Alpha Tower just have so much drag and downforce on their car, but at most places, it's very
[28:26.560 -> 28:29.020] suboptimal to operate the car with that much drag.
[28:29.020 -> 28:32.960] You're trying to take wing off to be competitive most of the time, but here it's like you can
[28:32.960 -> 28:33.960] throw whatever at it.
[28:33.960 -> 28:37.800] And it was the same thing to an extent that Mercedes had last year.
[28:37.800 -> 28:42.280] They went very well at the low efficiency, high drag circuits because when they did put
[28:42.280 -> 28:44.800] all their drag on the car, they did have a bit of downforce.
[28:44.800 -> 28:45.040] Whereas when you started taking it off in the car, they did have a bit of downforce.
[28:45.040 -> 28:48.840] Whereas when you started taking it off in the car was not as well behaved.
[28:48.840 -> 28:54.840] But I don't know, that's, that's really all I got on the Daniel Ricciardo performance
[28:54.840 -> 28:55.840] situation.
[28:55.840 -> 28:57.240] I think it's an interesting concept.
[28:57.240 -> 29:00.720] And I would like to talk to somebody smart about that, because I don't get it.
[29:00.720 -> 29:01.720] I don't know it at all.
[29:01.720 -> 29:04.120] Are you trying to insinuate that I'm not smart?
[29:04.120 -> 29:07.000] No, I'm trying to insinuate that you're not an aerodynamicist.
[29:07.000 -> 29:10.000] No, not with this beard, mate.
[29:10.000 -> 29:15.000] It's too much aerodynamic about this face, mate, I tell you.
[29:15.000 -> 29:16.000] Don't shave again, please.
[29:16.000 -> 29:20.000] Somebody in the live stream on YouTube, when we do record these episodes live on YouTube,
[29:20.000 -> 29:25.200] has just reminded us that this is about the one year anniversary of your beard shaving.
[29:25.200 -> 29:26.200] Yeah, yeah, it is.
[29:26.200 -> 29:27.200] Yeah, thanks, George Russell.
[29:27.200 -> 29:28.200] Do you have a rat?
[29:28.200 -> 29:30.960] I'm forgiving you.
[29:30.960 -> 29:34.800] So breaking down performance, and I've kind of already talked about a couple of these
[29:34.800 -> 29:36.360] points in qualifying.
[29:36.360 -> 29:39.520] Red Bull looked like they underperformed big time in turn 12.
[29:39.520 -> 29:43.440] Alpine Haas and Aston Martin's performance this weekend was not favorable, and it's hard
[29:43.440 -> 29:48.400] to say if that was circuit specific or just them going nowhere.
[29:48.400 -> 29:52.440] Mercedes and McLaren, more or less the typical offsets to everybody else.
[29:52.440 -> 29:56.920] Like I feel like they performed about pace order and qualifying.
[29:56.920 -> 29:59.200] Ferrari, Red Bull and Haas had the least drag on their cars.
[29:59.200 -> 30:01.240] They were super slippery.
[30:01.240 -> 30:03.800] Alfa Tauri and Alpine were at the bottom of the speed traps.
[30:03.800 -> 30:12.700] Alfa Tauri had downforce on their car. Alpine didn't really do the air monocles very well. Yeah, Ricardo,
[30:12.700 -> 30:17.400] that is Alpha Tauri's best qualifying performance in terms of gap to pull this season.
[30:17.400 -> 30:19.360] Which is not surprising.
[30:19.360 -> 30:21.680] I should expect so, P4.
[30:21.680 -> 30:30.360] Yeah, in a super competitive bunch. So I think Daniel absolutely manhandled the crap about that car.
[30:30.360 -> 30:31.360] He did.
[30:31.360 -> 30:38.120] And you know, I will, I always like to admit when I'm wrong, I'm a man enough to admit
[30:38.120 -> 30:39.120] it.
[30:39.120 -> 30:40.840] I didn't think Danny Rick was the man for the job.
[30:40.840 -> 30:49.020] I thought when they came back to AlphaTauri, I thought, oh, this is just a marketing exercise to cash in. Yeah I don't think it was man. There you
[30:49.020 -> 30:53.380] go no he's proved me wrong which seems to happen several times a year now so.
[30:53.380 -> 31:00.060] Well you know what Daniel Ricardo's not paid us to gas him up but...
[31:00.780 -> 31:11.280] Has he not paid us? No he hasn't. Right, Danny Rick was running an illegal car, it was actually Checo's RB19 painted white.
[31:11.280 -> 31:14.240] And Checo had the Alpha Towery.
[31:14.240 -> 31:15.240] There you go.
[31:15.240 -> 31:17.880] Yeah, but what about the people that are paying us?
[31:17.880 -> 31:18.880] Because they're good.
[31:18.880 -> 31:19.880] Who pays us?
[31:19.880 -> 31:22.680] Oh, I know who you mean!
[31:22.680 -> 31:29.960] You mean these guys. Yes, it's that time again for a word from our sponsors NordVPN.

[32:17.040 -> 32:20.600] Definitely pretty much use Nord pretty much every day
[32:21.280 -> 32:23.920] same I use it on my PC and
[32:27.640 -> 32:29.200] I've got on my phone in my tablet as. When I go travel and I need to get access
[32:29.200 -> 32:31.120] to my videos and everything else.
[32:31.120 -> 32:34.880] I'm not a fraud chat, look it's on my phone and everything.
[32:34.880 -> 32:37.480] Why are you dialed into Thailand?
[32:37.480 -> 32:38.320] What's going on there, dude?
[32:38.320 -> 32:39.160] Shh.
[32:39.160 -> 32:41.800] I'm stealing all the catering budgets
[32:41.800 -> 32:44.360] from the Red Bull Thailand servers.
[32:44.360 -> 32:46.640] Oh, speaking of rumors, no I'm just kidding, I don't have any rumors. Stealing all the catering budgets from the Red Bull Thailand servers.
[32:48.600 -> 32:50.080] Speaking of rumors, and I'm just kidding, I don't have any rumors.
[32:53.720 -> 32:54.760] Here's another thing that I forgot, and I'm completely rewinding, but.
[32:58.520 -> 33:00.000] It was awesome, I didn't talk about this and I was just thinking about.
[33:03.400 -> 33:03.480] Other races, we have to watch the Formula One Academy race
[33:05.680 -> 33:12.040] in Austin live, and it was on F1 TV. I thought it was super interesting to see that some people were saying, you know,
[33:12.040 -> 33:15.800] I think I had a chat with Ahmed on Twitter about it. He's like, the cars aren't fast
[33:15.800 -> 33:19.620] enough. And it's like, I don't know. I think there's a huge there's a couple of things
[33:19.620 -> 33:30.360] like W Series folded. Why? I don't know. Money was a factor in that. So it's like, okay, we need reasonably inexpensive cars to operate from the four. You've got a huge variety of
[33:30.360 -> 33:35.240] talents coming into this. Don't make the barrier to entry to I don't like don't chuck them
[33:35.240 -> 33:41.160] into an F2 car. It's like, yeah, some of these some of these girls and young women probably,
[33:41.160 -> 33:45.400] you know, have huge degrees of varying experience levels in different cars.
[33:45.400 -> 33:48.140] So it's like, make it approachable and accessible to them.
[33:48.140 -> 33:51.880] But I think it'll be interesting to see how that series unfolds next year with proper
[33:51.880 -> 33:55.560] TV coverage and the ability to engage with it and talk about it.
[33:55.560 -> 34:00.400] But you know, this is, I kind of forgot that F1 Academy even existed until I saw them there,
[34:00.400 -> 34:09.520] because there's just nothing going on about it. Yeah, I mean, in regards to the cars being or appearing slow.
[34:09.520 -> 34:12.600] It's F1 Academy.
[34:12.600 -> 34:15.760] I mean, they're not going to be F2 cars, are they?
[34:15.760 -> 34:17.200] You know, it's an Academy series.
[34:17.200 -> 34:19.120] They're not going to be.
[34:19.120 -> 34:22.040] I look at it like Formula Renault or whatever, you know.
[34:22.040 -> 34:25.160] Even the Formula Renault 2.5s were fast as hell,
[34:25.160 -> 34:26.400] weren't they?
[34:26.400 -> 34:29.040] Yeah, but I'm talking, there was the other one,
[34:29.040 -> 34:30.980] wasn't there, I can't remember what it was now.
[34:30.980 -> 34:32.560] There was a smaller one.
[34:32.560 -> 34:34.200] The World Series one, I think it was different,
[34:34.200 -> 34:36.240] wasn't it, anyway, I digress.
[34:36.240 -> 34:39.240] Anyway, the other point was, anything compared
[34:39.240 -> 34:43.080] to an F1 car is gonna look slow on these big-ass circuits.
[34:43.080 -> 34:43.900] Yeah.
[34:44.800 -> 34:48.120] Yeah, but I think, yeah, like is the episode in the chat.
[34:48.120 -> 34:50.680] F1 Academy is a feeder for F3 and F4.
[34:51.400 -> 34:58.200] You know, you're going into the other, the main series where there's a lot of mostly
[34:58.200 -> 35:02.960] young boys that have been karting since they could walk and have a lot, probably a lot
[35:02.960 -> 35:03.720] more experience in that.
[35:03.720 -> 35:06.200] And that's the whole point is making this more accessible and building it.
[35:06.200 -> 35:11.240] But an interesting question and a conversation about that is like, what are they doing outside
[35:11.240 -> 35:12.720] of that as well?
[35:12.720 -> 35:13.720] Like, how does that?
[35:13.720 -> 35:15.320] How does how do you get to F1 Academy?
[35:15.320 -> 35:20.480] And I, it's not a criticism, it's just it'd be interesting to see how that unfolds.
[35:20.480 -> 35:23.480] We also saw, Marta, is it?
[35:23.480 -> 35:25.400] I don't want to.
[35:26.120 -> 35:28.120] I'm doing it in course.
[35:28.680 -> 35:32.440] Outrage with all of our female audience understand.
[35:33.160 -> 35:40.320] Understand the F1 Academy winner was given a drive in a series from Alpine.
[35:40.960 -> 35:47.640] Correct, so that was actually functional, you know, like you had a purpose to it, you
[35:47.640 -> 35:53.000] know. Yeah, but I think that's interesting because that wasn't F1 Academy. That was Alpine
[35:53.000 -> 35:58.760] being like, come drive our series. So let's see where that goes. Hopefully good things
[35:58.760 -> 36:05.760] in the future happening for women in motorsport. So Freca, only their first year. Freca, yeah, exactly.
[36:05.760 -> 36:09.440] So let's see, let's get on to the Grand Prix.
[36:09.440 -> 36:12.880] The Mexico Grand Prix stroll starts in the pit lane.
[36:12.880 -> 36:16.640] There you go, that's my Mexican toot-toot.
[36:16.640 -> 36:19.200] Stroll starts in the pit lane for the second week in a row.
[36:19.200 -> 36:22.440] He does some, it looks like he does some aero changes to his car.
[36:22.440 -> 36:26.320] I wasn't too excited about stroll because I was like, yeah.
[36:26.320 -> 36:32.160] TROY Were you trying to insinuate he was not excited about Stroll because it's Lance Stroll?
[36:32.160 -> 36:33.680] RICHARD Yeah, exactly.
[36:33.680 -> 36:38.640] TROY As a fellow Canadian, surely you should be supporting your home driver.
[36:38.640 -> 36:41.120] RICHARD Shut up.
[36:44.160 -> 36:46.760] Sunoda and Sargent start from the back.
[36:46.760 -> 36:49.980] Sargent had a 10 place grid drop and he was back in the back.
[36:49.980 -> 36:50.980] That was pretty dope.
[36:50.980 -> 36:54.920] Let's get into the lap one of the race.
[36:54.920 -> 36:56.800] That race start was awesome.
[36:56.800 -> 36:58.440] Both the Red Bulls had banger starts.
[36:58.440 -> 37:01.580] They were ahead of the Ferraris going into turn one.
[37:01.580 -> 37:07.200] There was a Checo outside, Lecclerc middle Verstappen inside.
[37:08.400 -> 37:09.760] If you're Checo, do you go for that or not?
[37:11.200 -> 37:12.560] I go for it every day.
[37:12.560 -> 37:17.600] I just do like in an ideal world, I don't turn in as early as he did.
[37:17.600 -> 37:18.720] And I think he does the same.
[37:19.600 -> 37:20.080] I don't know.
[37:20.640 -> 37:26.080] This is so easy for two morons like me and you to sit here in our
[37:26.080 -> 37:30.080] offices doing a podcast and say oh you shouldn't have done that but in reality
[37:30.080 -> 37:34.480] if I was driving that car I wouldn't have even made it to that corner I'd have
[37:34.480 -> 37:38.640] just instantaneously done a random 90-degree turn and put it into the
[37:38.640 -> 37:49.400] pit wall if I was driving that car my skill level. I'd like to think I wouldn't go for it.
[37:49.880 -> 37:53.720] It's a race, not a sprint or whatever, a marathon, not a sprint.
[37:54.880 -> 38:00.680] You know, I think that the Red Bull is quicker than the Ferrari overall.
[38:00.680 -> 38:04.000] If you don't get them in the first corner, do it in a few laps time.
[38:04.400 -> 38:05.680] You'll get them on the second corner?
[38:05.680 -> 38:10.840] Yeah you know what I mean so but you know Checo himself admitted he was just like mate
[38:10.840 -> 38:15.920] I just wanted to go for it so I just sent it and I was like okay fair enough Checo
[38:15.920 -> 38:20.080] you know and everyone in the team was like yeah no fair play.
[38:20.080 -> 38:25.640] Did you see on the video Charla Cleric drives off the track across turn two and drives under the track?
[38:26.400 -> 38:26.760] Yes.
[38:26.760 -> 38:30.240] He illegally glitched through the grass.
[38:30.360 -> 38:34.680] Thanks to the incredible CGI banners that are placed around the track, which has
[38:34.680 -> 38:37.640] now ruined the illusion for multiple people watching.
[38:37.680 -> 38:38.080] Yeah.
[38:38.160 -> 38:40.680] They're like, wait, that bannering is not painted onto the grass.
[38:41.080 -> 38:41.320] Yeah.
[38:41.480 -> 38:46.960] And just to go back, um, the F1 Academy winner was Marta Garcia. The reason
[38:46.960 -> 38:51.760] I didn't want to say that is that that's what I thought it was. But during the F1 in Austin,
[38:51.760 -> 38:57.920] during the on track commentary, I can't remember who it was, but one of the commentators called
[38:57.920 -> 39:08.840] Sergio Perez, Sergio Garcia. And they're like, oh, so I had a big, big brain fart there.
[39:08.840 -> 39:11.480] But it was, yeah, I was like, don't get it wrong.
[39:11.480 -> 39:13.740] Don't get it wrong.
[39:13.740 -> 39:17.840] But anyway, anyway, but it was, it was funny in the fast forward a bit.
[39:17.840 -> 39:22.840] Lewis was in the, the room at the end, the TV room, you know, the podcast room.
[39:22.840 -> 39:25.360] And he was like, he sees the replay of Checo and he's like,
[39:25.360 -> 39:27.360] hey, he did a me in Qatar.
[39:29.600 -> 39:31.920] The turning in and getting launched into the air.
[39:31.920 -> 39:32.400] Oof.
[39:32.400 -> 39:34.000] Yeah, I don't know, man, like.
[39:37.280 -> 39:41.680] I probably would have sent it because I am that sort of moron.
[39:41.680 -> 39:46.400] I'm like, Maldonado and Grosjean's secret love child on iRacing.
[39:46.400 -> 39:48.400] So yeah, I probably would have sent it.
[39:49.600 -> 39:51.700] But I don't know.
[39:52.100 -> 39:54.600] He was trying to do a max in 2021, wasn't he?
[39:54.600 -> 39:59.800] Where he mugged off both the Mercedes going on the outside into turn
[39:59.800 -> 40:00.200] one.
[40:00.700 -> 40:02.000] Yeah, I think that was 21.
[40:03.100 -> 40:05.220] Three into three into room for two.
[40:05.220 -> 40:06.220] Just don't go.
[40:06.220 -> 40:11.320] And a lot of people trying to go side by side and turn to didn't go particularly well.
[40:11.320 -> 40:15.260] But I think, yeah, at the same time, like he committed to it.
[40:15.260 -> 40:16.260] It's like, you know what?
[40:16.260 -> 40:19.160] You're alongside and you're actually ahead.
[40:19.160 -> 40:21.320] Get up there and bail out and tuck back in.
[40:21.320 -> 40:24.560] You'll get a little bit of grass on your tires and drive under the graphics and glitch and
[40:24.560 -> 40:25.840] ruin the illusion for everybody.
[40:27.160 -> 40:30.880] But I think, I think LeClaire was going to, was going to manage to stay on the track.
[40:30.880 -> 40:35.640] He just, after that little wobble, he took himself offline a little bit, but.
[40:35.640 -> 40:35.920] Yeah.
[40:35.960 -> 40:39.440] I think Max hung on both out to dry a little bit as well, which didn't really help.
[40:39.440 -> 40:43.560] Cause if you look, Max definitely had room on the inside, but Max obviously
[40:43.560 -> 40:45.200] it was like, no, this is my apex.
[40:45.200 -> 40:46.480] Good luck, fellas.
[40:46.480 -> 40:49.680] See you in the retirement area.
[40:50.240 -> 40:50.880] Yeah, definitely.
[40:50.880 -> 40:52.480] I'm not giving anybody any space.
[40:52.480 -> 40:53.200] I'm like, yeah, whatever.
[40:54.240 -> 40:59.840] Very early on in the race, a lot of drivers were talking about braking engine management
[40:59.840 -> 41:03.200] straightaway, cooling, pull out into the gap, you know, pull out of the slipstream,
[41:03.200 -> 41:04.160] cool your engine.
[41:04.160 -> 41:07.160] Everybody was on that, especially at the start of the race.
[41:07.160 -> 41:10.320] The cars weigh 100 kilos more than they do
[41:10.320 -> 41:12.280] at the end of the race, more than qualifying.
[41:12.280 -> 41:15.940] You've got so much dirty air, not very many air monocles.
[41:16.920 -> 41:19.000] Yeah, it's tough very early on.
[41:19.000 -> 41:20.920] And Ferrari kept talking about,
[41:20.920 -> 41:23.840] we're going to stick to the optimum one-stop strategy.
[41:23.840 -> 41:31.680] And the drivers and engineers were talking like, yep, optimum one-stop, optimum one-stop. Okay. So I think that was quite clear.
[41:31.680 -> 41:39.200] We saw Verstappen pit first and they're like, okay, Max pit on like lap 20. I was like, okay,
[41:39.200 -> 41:43.040] this is a, is he going to two-stop them? Because he had pace in hand over everyone. He was,
[41:43.840 -> 41:47.560] what, he had probably five second gap to the Ferraris after 1718 laps.
[41:47.560 -> 41:50.520] He's like, yeah, I'm going to park it.
[41:50.520 -> 41:54.580] I'll come through them when they're on crap tires, then I'll have clean air again.
[41:54.580 -> 41:57.680] But Ferrari were definitely being like, you know, we're going to do our fastest race to
[41:57.680 -> 41:58.680] the end of the race.
[41:58.680 -> 41:59.680] And then what happened?
[41:59.680 -> 42:04.840] I got like a kind of bamboozled by the the red flag.
[42:04.840 -> 42:05.280] Yeah, poor old K-Mag. Honestly, did you see the replay? I got that got kind of bamboozled by the the red flag.
[42:08.180 -> 42:09.880] Yeah, poor old K-Mag. Honestly, did you see the replay?
[42:09.880 -> 42:12.580] So Kevin's going through turn nine, he's turning right
[42:13.320 -> 42:15.180] and he starts going left real fast.
[42:15.180 -> 42:17.680] He gets the NASCAR calling, ends up straight in the wall.
[42:17.880 -> 42:19.420] Thankfully, he was OK.
[42:19.420 -> 42:20.360] But the rear left.
[42:21.360 -> 42:24.520] Suspension or track guard failed and that that tire just points in
[42:26.900 -> 42:30.740] and he's like, super toe in, not good for stability when it's only on one side.
[42:30.740 -> 42:35.800] An interview with Steiner suggested there were some heat issues.
[42:35.800 -> 42:41.680] And when the car stopped, the rear left corner was on fire and fire.
[42:41.680 -> 42:47.320] I would not be surprised if they had a very serious brake temperature issue on
[42:47.320 -> 42:53.520] that car. Like it wouldn't be remotely surprising. And it's I've seen that before where you've
[42:53.520 -> 42:59.920] had a brake disc get so hot. Like danger hot, the drum starts to deteriorate. And if the
[42:59.920 -> 43:05.080] drums deteriorated, the suspension can go as well. I have seen that before.
[43:05.080 -> 43:10.080] The adhesives in the aero shroud and things like that
[43:11.800 -> 43:16.480] tend to be the first to melt and get a little bit toasty.
[43:19.280 -> 43:22.440] But yeah, it's perfectly possible that either A,
[43:22.440 -> 43:24.640] they completely messed up their cooling.
[43:24.640 -> 43:26.680] You know, we've seen this in Mexico a few times.
[43:26.680 -> 43:28.160] It's hard tractor.
[43:28.800 -> 43:29.040] Yeah.
[43:29.040 -> 43:30.600] Aero cooling package.
[43:30.600 -> 43:31.080] Correct.
[43:31.760 -> 43:35.440] Um, or B it could have just been like a tire Marvel.
[43:35.840 -> 43:38.120] Blocked the vent, blocked his duct or something.
[43:38.600 -> 43:40.040] Or at the same time it's management.
[43:40.480 -> 43:44.200] It's your, the entire, like Mexico tracks, like Mexico, um,
[43:44.240 -> 43:46.480] Baku can be the same.
[43:46.480 -> 43:51.960] Canada like you are literally spending a lot of time checking the brakes to make sure things
[43:51.960 -> 43:55.200] are OK and like making sure drivers on top of lifting coasts.
[43:55.200 -> 44:00.600] So yeah, that was thankful he was OK, but that was a pretty terrifying crash.
[44:00.600 -> 44:02.280] 37 laps to go.
[44:02.280 -> 44:03.280] We've got a red flag.
[44:03.280 -> 44:06.760] There will be 36 laps to the end.
[44:06.760 -> 44:09.960] And the question mark is now.
[44:09.960 -> 44:13.000] Red flag rules in Formula One, you can change tires, you can repair your car.
[44:13.000 -> 44:16.480] So Leclerc got to repair his front wing that was damaged.
[44:16.480 -> 44:19.540] The question for everybody was, do you fit a medium or hard?
[44:19.540 -> 44:27.520] Keeping in mind the longest medium stint that we've seen so far was 31 laps.
[44:27.520 -> 44:31.840] What was like my initial feeling was there's no way like what do we have?
[44:31.840 -> 44:40.760] We had Hamilton, Norris, Russell, Piastri, Albon, Ocon, Hulkenberg and Sargent all fit
[44:40.760 -> 44:41.760] mediums to the end.
[44:41.760 -> 44:42.760] Yeah, yeah.
[44:42.760 -> 44:45.120] And I don't think anybody had any trouble with it.
[44:45.120 -> 44:46.240] Like severe trouble.
[44:46.320 -> 44:48.480] Say no, like super cliff of degradation.
[44:49.480 -> 44:51.600] No, it depends on the car as well.
[44:51.600 -> 44:57.840] So Ferrari put hearts on both of their cars and I would probably
[44:57.840 -> 45:01.680] agree with that knowing Ferrari's tire management.
[45:05.120 -> 45:09.680] Yeah, but also, I mean, if we fast forward to it, like, you know.
[45:10.960 -> 45:13.760] Leclerc's race engineer was like, don't worry,
[45:13.760 -> 45:16.360] the medium guys are going to drop off in a couple of laps.
[45:17.680 -> 45:20.120] And that was like, you know, 15 laps into that stint.
[45:20.600 -> 45:22.280] Yeah. And there was still seven.
[45:22.280 -> 45:24.760] Yeah, there's still loads to go now.
[45:24.760 -> 45:27.440] Yeah, I don't think they were out at all.
[45:27.440 -> 45:31.440] So that was super interesting for Stappen fits a hard.
[45:31.440 -> 45:35.240] Leclerc and Sainz fit a hard and Ricardo fits a hard.
[45:35.240 -> 45:38.440] And that was an interesting thing talking about Ricardo's race
[45:38.440 -> 45:43.440] because by that point at the red flag restart, Ricardo is in P5.
[45:43.440 -> 45:50.800] He gets done by Russell at the restart, but considering how draggy and slow that car was
[45:50.800 -> 45:53.440] without with DRS, take DRS off of it.
[45:53.440 -> 45:57.760] That thing has to be a sitting duck in the straight and he did a very good job to keep
[45:57.760 -> 46:02.600] his nose clean and make enough advantage in the middle sector of the lap to stay out of
[46:02.600 -> 46:04.080] trouble for the rest of the race.
[46:04.080 -> 46:08.280] He does end up getting done by a couple more cars and finishes, what is that, P7?
[46:08.280 -> 46:11.240] But pretty impressive drive for Danny Ricciardo.
[46:11.240 -> 46:13.240] He now has the most points for AlphaTauri.
[46:13.240 -> 46:17.320] Yeah, no mean feat.
[46:17.320 -> 46:20.940] And with that, I think it brings him up to, what is it, seventh in the championship now
[46:20.940 -> 46:22.480] or something?
[46:22.480 -> 46:23.480] Something like that.
[46:23.480 -> 46:26.920] I mean, AlphaTauri are now tied with, is it Alpha Romeo? But they have, they're higher up in the championship now or something. Something like that. I mean, Alpha Tauri are now tied with, is it Alpha Romeo? But they
[46:26.920 -> 46:31.240] have, they're higher up in the championship. So they jumped two teams and they went from
[46:31.240 -> 46:37.400] P10 to P8 in one race because of a good, good solid result.
[46:37.400 -> 46:40.560] Couple of million there. Thank you very much.
[46:40.560 -> 46:47.100] Easy dub. So let's go back to the race. Hamilton's overtake on the clear on the inside of the main straight little couple wheels
[46:47.100 -> 46:48.100] in the grass a little bit.
[46:48.100 -> 46:49.100] Chef's kiss.
[46:49.100 -> 46:52.280] That was even even Max in the in the podcast room looked at me.
[46:52.280 -> 46:56.400] He's like, oh, is it healing?
[46:56.400 -> 47:00.600] It's Formula One healing because they seemed kind of chilled in the debrief room.
[47:00.600 -> 47:06.500] That was they were very nice and sort of chummy and the vibes. The vibes are immaculate in that cool down room. And was they were very nice and sort of chummy and the vibes, the vibes
[47:06.500 -> 47:08.200] are immaculate in that cool down room.
[47:08.200 -> 47:08.700] Yeah.
[47:10.100 -> 47:12.600] We just need them to be racing each other and take each other out again.
[47:13.000 -> 47:13.500] Yeah.
[47:13.500 -> 47:13.600] Yeah.
[47:13.600 -> 47:15.200] Then we'll see how quickly it lasts.
[47:16.000 -> 47:20.500] Yeah, my favorite bit of the end of the race other than there's still
[47:20.500 -> 47:21.500] several other favorite things.
[47:21.500 -> 47:22.800] We haven't even touched on.
[47:24.900 -> 47:28.840] Arkhan when he was like, tell that feel free to tell the Haas I'm going for it, I'm coming.
[47:29.280 -> 47:33.760] And then he proceeds to like for five laps or whatever, just to do fucking nothing about it.
[47:34.000 -> 47:37.360] Even Hulkenberg tweeted after the race, he's like, did you enjoy looking at my butt?
[47:39.080 -> 47:44.360] Yeah, and he was like, I took you long enough or something, and they were baiting each other on Instagram or whatever.
[47:44.800 -> 47:47.040] Alcon, come on, man, If you're going to talk shit,
[47:47.840 -> 47:52.720] T-bone him and take him out or overtake him that lap. Don't like, all right, all right,
[47:52.720 -> 47:58.560] baby, I'm coming for it. Give me 30 minutes. I'll be right back, love. No, it's not. It's
[47:58.560 -> 48:05.200] not going to work. It's not going to work. Not a smooth operator. Was it, it was at 15 laps. Oh wow.
[48:05.400 -> 48:06.120] That's special.
[48:06.680 -> 48:12.480] I, what did you think of Sunoda on Piastri at turn one?
[48:12.480 -> 48:15.000] Sunoda still thinks it's Piastri's fault.
[48:16.440 -> 48:18.160] Yeah, he was a bit spicy.
[48:18.200 -> 48:22.000] Apparently he's also said, Oh, the FIA stewards favor the top teams.
[48:22.080 -> 48:25.740] I was like, Ooh, very, very cheeky and sassy of you there.
[48:25.740 -> 48:32.340] So no, the, um, now I think, I think you can have to take that one on the chin.
[48:32.880 -> 48:37.600] Even in the lap before, I think it was a lap before they touched on turn two.
[48:37.700 -> 48:38.780] And so it was coming.
[48:39.560 -> 48:43.820] I think Yuki just, I don't know, probably saw max, uh, sorry.
[48:43.820 -> 48:47.160] So any Rick qualifying P4 and lost
[48:47.160 -> 48:50.160] his head a little bit and was like, oh shit.
[48:50.160 -> 48:53.120] Yeah, yeah, that wasn't, that was not ideal whatsoever.
[48:53.120 -> 48:58.480] And I think he knows it's his fault because as soon as they made contact and he spun off,
[48:58.480 -> 49:01.640] he was throwing his fists in the air, banging the steering wheel.
[49:01.640 -> 49:04.800] So I think he knew.
[49:04.800 -> 49:06.200] Yeah I think so.
[49:06.200 -> 49:08.880] He knew that was on him completely.
[49:08.880 -> 49:13.020] But it does look like Piastri struggled a little bit after that wheel bang.
[49:13.020 -> 49:17.400] Like Piastri just kind of like, meh, falls back, drops a couple more positions.
[49:17.400 -> 49:20.920] But it's, Sunoda was putting him under pressure since the restart.
[49:20.920 -> 49:25.040] He was there thereabouts, and then after that, either Piaget burned up his tires or he did
[49:25.040 -> 49:31.920] have a little bit of a knock, but he was not very high performance after that. Ricardo's drive, man,
[49:32.560 -> 49:36.720] back to it. He just stays anonymous, keeps his nose clean, keeps his head down,
[49:36.720 -> 49:41.520] doesn't make any mistakes, doesn't lose any big track time. He gets overtaken by Norris.
[49:43.440 -> 49:46.400] And then Ricardo almost overtakes Russell at the end of the race.
[49:46.400 -> 49:47.840] Russell falls back quite a bit.
[49:49.120 -> 49:49.680] Russell was.
[49:51.520 -> 49:52.800] Was Russell on TV at all?
[49:54.800 -> 49:56.240] Uh, yeah, he was.
[49:56.240 -> 49:56.720] There was.
[49:58.400 -> 50:04.080] I think it was his first pit stop and he starts having like a two hour monologue to his race
[50:04.080 -> 50:05.600] engineer talking about strategy
[50:05.600 -> 50:09.200] and why have we done this and why didn't we do this?
[50:09.200 -> 50:11.640] And it's like, George, God love you.
[50:11.640 -> 50:12.720] Just get on with it.
[50:12.720 -> 50:13.720] Just drive.
[50:13.720 -> 50:18.680] If he's one of those driver engineers, that's literally the worst thing ever.
[50:18.680 -> 50:24.560] Like you have a driver that's like trying to engineer the car from the car.
[50:24.560 -> 50:26.000] It's literally the worst fucking thing ever.
[50:26.000 -> 50:29.360] I don't think that's Russell, but like he does like to be like,
[50:29.360 -> 50:30.360] we should do something different.
[50:30.960 -> 50:33.960] No, that's that's his go to is do something different.
[50:34.320 -> 50:37.120] Ah, he pitted behind Albon into traffic.
[50:37.120 -> 50:41.000] And like, yeah, we were trying to cover someone else and not get you overtaken.
[50:41.480 -> 50:43.360] That was that was another interesting thing.
[50:43.560 -> 50:52.720] Going back to the first 10, though. The Ferraris let Hamilton undercut them because they... And people were questioning it. And I was
[50:52.720 -> 50:57.520] questioning it at the time. I was like, why would you do that? But I think the key was Ferrari saying
[50:57.520 -> 51:01.840] they were on the optimum one-stop strategy. That means they're going to stretch it out. They're
[51:01.840 -> 51:09.460] going to lose a place. But if you look, they would have had to overtake Hamilton or spend some time behind him.
[51:09.460 -> 51:10.460] But that was interesting.
[51:10.460 -> 51:13.000] But like the same was true with Russell.
[51:13.000 -> 51:14.000] Russell had to cover.
[51:14.000 -> 51:19.680] Um, Piastri, I believe it was just looking at this.
[51:19.680 -> 51:23.760] So I was forecast to win.
[51:23.760 -> 51:26.440] Dude, honestly, Russell, you weren't winning that race, mate.
[51:26.440 -> 51:29.200] No disrespect, but you were not winning that race.
[51:29.200 -> 51:38.520] No, and I loved Norris's engineer needling over the radio where we go when Norris was
[51:38.520 -> 51:39.520] chasing Russell.
[51:39.520 -> 51:41.760] He was like, Oh, we all know what Russell is like.
[51:41.760 -> 51:42.760] He's all or nothing.
[51:42.760 -> 51:43.760] So just wait.
[51:43.760 -> 51:46.240] I was like, Oh, we had some good radio this weekend. He's all or nothing. So just wait.
[51:48.040 -> 51:48.120] We had some good radio this weekend.
[51:49.440 -> 51:49.480] Yeah, it was, it was pretty good.
[51:51.640 -> 51:53.080] Um, all or nothing.
[51:54.200 -> 51:54.240] Ah, what else we got?
[51:57.560 -> 51:58.720] Um, Norris, Norris had an amazing drive. What was his grid?
[51:58.760 -> 52:01.040] 14th to a P5.
[52:02.280 -> 52:02.920] Driver of the day.
[52:02.920 -> 52:03.420] Easy.
[52:08.560 -> 52:14.800] That was, that wasn't an actual quote. That was a quote recently, if that wasn't a quote from, from, uh, definitely Russell has said that recently though. I was
[52:14.800 -> 52:20.400] forecast to win. You weren't forecast to win in Mexico, but yeah, P17 to P5. I didn't,
[52:20.400 -> 52:29.520] I didn't write down their starting positions, but. Honestly, everything about Lando's race was fucking wild, watching him cut through
[52:30.080 -> 52:32.960] at the race at the red flag restart, he gets.
[52:34.240 -> 52:36.240] I do have to.
[52:36.240 -> 52:40.720] Take a step back because he gets absolutely I don't remember the context, but he starts.
[52:41.680 -> 52:44.000] The red flag at P8.
[52:46.080 -> 52:48.080] And he ends up back at P14.
[52:49.520 -> 52:51.840] Two laps later, three laps later,
[52:51.840 -> 52:56.920] but he just charges through every single piece of trash car on the field
[52:57.080 -> 52:59.720] and some cars that he was not that much faster than.
[53:02.880 -> 53:07.260] He started I've got him on this trace at P8 or P, maybe it's P10.
[53:07.260 -> 53:12.560] It could be wrong, but yeah, he massively had a huge fumble.
[53:12.560 -> 53:15.560] Oh, and he lost places pitting before the red flag.
[53:15.560 -> 53:17.400] I got you.
[53:17.400 -> 53:19.080] That makes more sense now.
[53:19.080 -> 53:27.080] But yeah, I think there could have been more for Norris and if I had to guess what the pace ranking
[53:27.080 -> 53:35.720] of teams was, Red Bull, Mercedes and McLaren very close, hard to tell the difference.
[53:35.720 -> 53:37.360] Norris was fucking rapid though.
[53:37.360 -> 53:38.360] And then Ferrari.
[53:38.360 -> 53:50.000] Ferrari went from heroes to anonymous again, honestly. This is now the 10th Max Verstappen victory from a Charles Leclerc poll.
[53:50.760 -> 53:54.000] Oh, speaking of.
[53:55.680 -> 53:57.800] Wikipedia stats.
[53:57.800 -> 53:59.360] Yeah. Did you like that one?
[53:59.360 -> 54:00.120] Yeah, that was good.
[54:00.120 -> 54:02.840] Verstappen, is it 16 wins in a season?
[54:02.880 -> 54:03.720] A new record?
[54:03.720 -> 54:07.520] The RB19 has 18 of 19 wins in a season,
[54:07.520 -> 54:14.240] which at this point I do believe it's the percentage wise most winning chassis in F1.
[54:15.360 -> 54:17.440] I would certainly imagine it is, yeah.
[54:17.440 -> 54:23.280] Because I think the previous best was something like 15 of 16 or something like that,
[54:23.280 -> 54:24.800] or a smaller number or so.
[54:26.000 -> 54:31.320] Maybe this could be a more expanded chat for the offseason but I think so. Can we call
[54:31.320 -> 54:38.240] the RB19 the most the best F1 car ever made? No I don't know but I think you
[54:38.240 -> 54:42.160] can't have the best F1 car ever made without some of the people making some
[54:42.160 -> 54:47.640] of the worst F1 cars ever made. 14 out of 15 Schumacher 2004.
[54:48.320 -> 54:49.600] The Ferrari.
[54:49.600 -> 54:52.520] Yeah, because we got so many races, they're ruining the stats.
[54:53.600 -> 54:55.320] But I think Ferrari did a good race.
[54:55.320 -> 54:56.280] It wasn't a bad race.
[54:56.280 -> 55:00.040] The car just didn't have race pace, which, you know, looking at free practice,
[55:00.040 -> 55:03.200] some people are like, oh, they're going to they look really good in high fuel.
[55:03.200 -> 55:04.320] So it's free practice.
[55:04.320 -> 55:05.520] It's like five laps.
[55:06.200 -> 55:06.880] Don't worry about it.
[55:06.960 -> 55:08.720] Ooh, sorry.
[55:08.720 -> 55:10.920] Someone in the chat has come up with another prime record.
[55:11.000 -> 55:12.120] Wikipedia stat.
[55:12.760 -> 55:12.880] Yeah.
[55:12.880 -> 55:17.400] I'll be 19 has the most wins from different starting positions in a season with seven.
[55:20.000 -> 55:20.960] So that's a good start.
[55:20.960 -> 55:21.600] I like that one.
[55:22.160 -> 55:23.800] Stats virtual stat, man.
[55:23.800 -> 55:24.280] Get ready.
[55:24.320 -> 55:25.960] They're coming for your job. Yeah. Yeah. So there you a good start. I like that one. Stats virtual stat man. Get ready. They're coming for your job. Yeah.
[55:27.040 -> 55:28.440] Yeah. So there you go.
[55:29.000 -> 55:30.520] Yeah. Let's go.
[55:31.240 -> 55:32.240] Mexico.
[55:32.600 -> 55:34.200] That's how much you get paid for
[55:34.200 -> 55:35.200] that.
[55:35.800 -> 55:38.080] I've now secretly joined
[55:38.080 -> 55:40.080] the team Redline Red Bull
[55:40.080 -> 55:41.760] Esports lineup.
[55:42.120 -> 55:43.400] It's not Esports. It's sim racing.
[55:43.400 -> 55:44.360] They changed it.
[55:44.360 -> 55:46.000] Sorry. Yeah, I mean,ports, it's sim racing. They changed it today. Sim racing, sorry. Yeah, I'm now their chief.
[55:46.000 -> 55:48.000] Admin roasted me today.
[55:48.000 -> 55:52.000] I'm now their chief farming simulator 2022 guy.
[55:52.000 -> 55:58.000] Speaking of fraudulent activities, why don't we do this little thing?
[55:58.000 -> 56:11.120] Fraud Watch, ladies and gentlemen.
[56:11.120 -> 56:15.320] Oh, well, who are you nominating this week for Fraud Watch?
[56:15.320 -> 56:19.680] And if you're new to the podcast, Fraud Watch is where we put somebody on blast because
[56:19.680 -> 56:20.680] the shit.
[56:20.680 -> 56:27.000] Yeah, it can be anything, a person, a thing, anything to do with the F1 weekend.
[56:27.000 -> 56:28.640] Yeah, your in-laws, whatever.
[56:28.640 -> 56:30.120] Yeah, sure, why not?
[56:30.120 -> 56:37.200] But mine are probably similar to my in-laws, and that's the fans that decided to start
[56:37.200 -> 56:39.760] having to punch up in the stands.
[56:39.760 -> 56:42.520] Did you see the dude in the red shirt?
[56:42.520 -> 56:44.760] Like what style is that?
[56:44.760 -> 56:46.840] That's get your ass beat style.
[56:46.840 -> 56:49.880] I don't know man.
[56:49.880 -> 56:54.000] Why the fuck are you fighting over race cars man?
[56:54.000 -> 56:58.800] This is coming from somebody who, you guys can't have beer in the football stadiums because
[56:58.800 -> 57:00.880] you guys get into punch ups.
[57:00.880 -> 57:06.960] Yeah, maybe it's a British hooliganism culture thing where I'm so sort of used to it.
[57:06.960 -> 57:08.600] I don't know.
[57:08.600 -> 57:12.000] Hi, fighting over F1 cars.
[57:12.000 -> 57:16.040] And you paid like what $200 $300 for a ticket for the privilege.
[57:16.040 -> 57:19.760] I don't know man get a life Christ.
[57:19.760 -> 57:22.440] Yeah, seriously, fucking clowns.
[57:22.440 -> 57:23.440] It's not that deep.
[57:23.440 -> 57:27.680] And if it is, definitely those people fighting had driver profile pictures on Twitter.
[57:27.680 -> 57:28.680] 100% 100%.
[57:28.680 -> 57:33.320] Yeah, they probably started some rumors too.
[57:33.320 -> 57:41.400] Yeah, so I'm very, very close to put all the journos that are that are baiting on the Fraud
[57:41.400 -> 57:42.400] Watch.
[57:42.400 -> 57:52.940] But my Fraud Watch for the Mexican Grand Prix is the Formula One TV director. Holy fuck, that was the most painful race to watch because you fucking
[57:52.940 -> 57:58.560] missed everything. I was on garbage this week. I was on multiviewer like managing my own
[57:58.560 -> 58:06.760] life. All right, let me go check this car like on the Sunoda and Piastri incident, they showed Sunoda's point of view, which showed
[58:06.760 -> 58:08.920] absolutely fucking nothing.
[58:08.920 -> 58:15.840] The final lap, there's Toto like, like this when Ricardo is chasing down Russell, the
[58:15.840 -> 58:24.240] TV director, literally, I have no words because apparently it was that bad in Austin as well.
[58:24.240 -> 58:25.480] I was at the track and
[58:25.480 -> 58:30.200] wasn't really watching the TV that much, but I don't understand how you can have such an
[58:30.200 -> 58:37.100] amazing brilliant high dollar product and you have people doing that bad of a job. It's
[58:37.100 -> 58:41.480] not that hard. And if they need help, like let me help them write some scripts to help
[58:41.480 -> 58:44.440] highlight the battles on the track. And it's like, Hey, you should probably be looking
[58:44.440 -> 58:45.760] here because this gap is closed by
[58:45.760 -> 58:46.760] half a second.
[58:46.760 -> 58:48.160] A lot for the last three laps.
[58:48.160 -> 58:49.560] Go look at go look at Ricardo.
[58:49.560 -> 58:51.680] You freaking goober.
[58:51.680 -> 58:59.640] Anyway, I'm sure I'm sure this podcast is our glittering CV of production value.
[58:59.640 -> 59:03.040] I'm sure we'll go far.
[59:03.040 -> 59:05.120] Those ad reads are really
[59:08.400 -> 59:11.360] right. Let's let's move on to the next one.
[59:12.440 -> 59:14.480] Oh, you did lose a good boy.
[59:14.520 -> 59:16.240] I am. I'm a good boy.
[59:16.480 -> 59:17.440] So engine mode.
[59:17.440 -> 59:20.320] Good boy is an award that you get for gaslighting people.
[59:20.400 -> 59:21.000] Wait, no.
[59:22.960 -> 59:25.840] It's for virtue signaling, I think is what it is.
[59:25.840 -> 59:27.280] No, but what we use engine mode.
[59:27.280 -> 59:31.960] Good boy is to celebrate somebody who's done a bang up somebody, something, or your in-laws
[59:31.960 -> 59:33.800] that have done a bang up job at the weekend.
[59:33.800 -> 59:36.080] What do you, what do you got for, for engine mode?
[59:36.080 -> 59:37.080] Good boy award.
[59:37.080 -> 59:41.560] Um, Oh man, I didn't actually put one down.
[59:41.560 -> 59:42.560] This is one off.
[59:42.560 -> 59:43.560] Well, I forgot about it.
[59:43.560 -> 59:45.520] And the one you've put down is the most obvious one.
[59:46.640 -> 59:49.040] What's my engine mode, good boy?
[59:49.040 -> 59:50.920] I mean, Norris had a banger drive.
[59:51.880 -> 59:53.640] But does it have to be?
[59:53.640 -> 59:56.480] He didn't really have a great qualifying though, did he?
[59:56.480 -> 59:59.180] No, fair play.
[59:59.180 -> 01:00:00.020] Look at you.
[01:00:01.400 -> 01:00:02.600] Just taking in everything.
[01:00:02.600 -> 01:00:08.820] Yeah, no, I'm gonna be an agent of chaos and say my thing in the weekend is all the
[01:00:08.820 -> 01:00:09.820] Twitter rumors.
[01:00:09.820 -> 01:00:16.220] Because honestly, watching everyone lose their minds over that has been brilliant for a man.
[01:00:16.220 -> 01:00:17.900] You know, what am I an anarchist?
[01:00:17.900 -> 01:00:18.900] I don't know.
[01:00:18.900 -> 01:00:20.900] I just enjoy watching everyone lose their minds.
[01:00:20.900 -> 01:00:23.780] You're a fucking sadist, aren't you?
[01:00:23.780 -> 01:00:24.780] Yep.
[01:00:24.780 -> 01:00:25.320] And a masochist.
[01:00:25.320 -> 01:00:26.320] OK, fair enough.
[01:00:26.320 -> 01:00:30.200] I'm going to put Danny Rick on engine mode.
[01:00:30.200 -> 01:00:36.360] Good boy, because honestly, back in the car second weekend after having a smash up on
[01:00:36.360 -> 01:00:39.920] the old hands, he's back.
[01:00:39.920 -> 01:00:43.560] He did an excellent qualifying in a heap of shite car.
[01:00:43.560 -> 01:00:44.560] The car's not good.
[01:00:44.560 -> 01:00:46.480] Let's let's not. let's not a dig.
[01:00:46.480 -> 01:00:47.480] They want to get better.
[01:00:47.480 -> 01:00:48.480] I'm a big fan.
[01:00:48.480 -> 01:00:49.480] I'm a huge fan.
[01:00:49.480 -> 01:00:50.480] Well done, Daniel.
[01:00:50.480 -> 01:01:00.200] Yeah, I'm but but by no means to does this tell me that he was a that he was ever washed
[01:01:00.200 -> 01:01:02.080] or be that he's back.
[01:01:02.080 -> 01:01:03.600] I think Daniel is just good.
[01:01:03.600 -> 01:01:05.600] He had a shit run in the McLaren.
[01:01:05.600 -> 01:01:07.400] And Daniel's back to Daniel.
[01:01:07.400 -> 01:01:09.000] And he had one of those amazing weekends.
[01:01:09.000 -> 01:01:11.600] And if he could build on that and keep pulling out decent
[01:01:11.600 -> 01:01:13.200] performances, maximizing that car.
[01:01:14.000 -> 01:01:17.200] Yeah, we got to be careful that this isn't a Nick to Friesen
[01:01:17.200 -> 01:01:18.000] Monza moment.
[01:01:19.200 -> 01:01:23.400] Let's, I know Daniel's a lot more experienced, obviously.
[01:01:23.400 -> 01:01:27.100] Let's see a couple more strong performances out of Dan and then
[01:01:27.100 -> 01:01:28.600] we can say yeah, he still got it.
[01:01:29.700 -> 01:01:31.000] Yeah, I think he's got it.
[01:01:31.000 -> 01:01:31.900] I don't think he lost it.
[01:01:31.900 -> 01:01:34.500] Honestly, that doesn't fit my agenda Blake.
[01:01:34.600 -> 01:01:35.900] So, okay, fine.
[01:01:36.400 -> 01:01:38.900] Missy big man in chat says run up good boy Charles for defending
[01:01:38.900 -> 01:01:40.200] himself against the booing.
[01:01:41.700 -> 01:01:45.160] I can't like imagine you're a Formula One fan.
[01:01:45.160 -> 01:01:49.960] You watched that race in person and you boo Charles Leclerc
[01:01:49.980 -> 01:01:52.880] for getting turned in on by the home man.
[01:01:52.880 -> 01:01:56.120] Like, unbelievable, shameful.
[01:01:56.120 -> 01:01:57.200] You know what?
[01:01:57.200 -> 01:01:59.240] What's that meme?
[01:01:59.240 -> 01:02:01.120] I can't remember if it's from a show or something.
[01:02:01.120 -> 01:02:03.640] It's like, why are you booing?
[01:02:03.640 -> 01:02:05.240] I've seen what makes you cheer.
[01:02:07.800 -> 01:02:08.600] Or whatever.
[01:02:08.800 -> 01:02:10.120] Just think of that.
[01:02:11.440 -> 01:02:16.080] Yeah, but anyhow, we've got we've got the Brazilian Grand Prix next.
[01:02:16.080 -> 01:02:17.800] And guess what's the best thing about Brazil?
[01:02:20.080 -> 01:02:20.960] Sprint races.
[01:02:21.280 -> 01:02:23.120] God fucking hate sprint races, right?
[01:02:23.360 -> 01:02:23.960] I do.
[01:02:24.160 -> 01:02:26.000] But controversial, ladies and gentlemen,
[01:02:26.000 -> 01:02:30.720] everyone, everyone. I hope you're sitting down for this. We all know I love to rant about sprint
[01:02:30.720 -> 01:02:38.960] races. I actually think sprint races at Brazil work. Well, they have worked. Well, yeah. Okay,
[01:02:38.960 -> 01:02:47.400] so I'm confident in this one being quite good. Okay, fair enough. I'm really unfussed about Brazil.
[01:02:48.000 -> 01:02:49.900] Sprint race weekend and because.
[01:02:50.600 -> 01:02:52.200] I've been spending so much time on Formula
[01:02:52.200 -> 01:02:55.100] One taking over the last forever of my
[01:02:55.100 -> 01:02:55.700] fucking life.
[01:02:55.700 -> 01:02:56.900] I'm going to take Friday off and I'm
[01:02:56.900 -> 01:02:58.700] not going to watch qualifying on stream.
[01:02:59.100 -> 01:03:01.400] I am going to a beer tasting with
[01:03:01.400 -> 01:03:04.200] my girlfriend and that's my fraudulent.
[01:03:04.200 -> 01:03:07.200] I'm putting myself on fraud watch next week for skipping qualifying.
[01:03:07.200 -> 01:03:08.000] But you know what?
[01:03:08.000 -> 01:03:10.160] I can come back and I can watch the highlights.
[01:03:10.160 -> 01:03:13.840] I can publish my data analysis report on break.com in the morning
[01:03:14.360 -> 01:03:15.600] and we'll be good to go.
[01:03:15.600 -> 01:03:18.320] Yeah, it's basically what Blake is saying.
[01:03:18.320 -> 01:03:20.080] Nobody listens to the podcast next week,
[01:03:20.080 -> 01:03:22.800] ladies and gentlemen, because I'll be responsible for doing the notes.
[01:03:22.800 -> 01:03:28.960] And God knows what's going to happen with that. Well, you know, it will get it done. Teamwork makes the dream work.
[01:03:30.320 -> 01:03:34.800] Do we need to draw teams for random fan? We haven't done random fandom in a while. Ages,
[01:03:34.800 -> 01:03:39.120] mate. So because we've just been struggling to life has been happening. I've been struggling to
[01:03:39.120 -> 01:03:47.560] get the everything done correctly. And in time, life life has happened and a podcast just kind
[01:03:47.560 -> 01:03:51.480] of takes a backseat because, um, everything else is a little bit more important, but you
[01:03:51.480 -> 01:03:54.200] guys are most important test.
[01:03:54.200 -> 01:03:57.320] And uh, I think we've got a good run, hopefully coming up to the end of the season.
[01:03:57.320 -> 01:03:59.680] I don't give them hope.
[01:03:59.680 -> 01:04:00.680] Fair enough.
[01:04:00.680 -> 01:04:01.680] Uh, right.
[01:04:01.680 -> 01:04:02.680] Who are you picking?
[01:04:02.680 -> 01:04:03.680] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[01:04:03.680 -> 01:04:04.680] Oh, wait, sorry.
[01:04:04.680 -> 01:04:05.960] Stop. Listen should value listen
[01:04:05.960 -> 01:04:10.080] We had a really good segue into the ad read you've now absolutely butchered this one
[01:04:10.480 -> 01:04:13.640] Right to shut up for 30 seconds while I do this
[01:04:22.000 -> 01:04:27.000] Random fandom.
[01:04:28.000 -> 01:04:29.000] Right. Now to.
[01:04:29.000 -> 01:04:31.000] It was also the production value.
[01:04:31.000 -> 01:04:33.000] I forgot to get my random pick.
[01:04:34.000 -> 01:04:35.000] Right.
[01:04:35.000 -> 01:04:40.000] Well, anyway, while Dan's getting up the random picker, we did get news just before the podcast went live.
[01:04:40.000 -> 01:04:48.240] Is Mike Elliott has left Mercedes. So Mike has been back and forth between,
[01:04:48.240 -> 01:04:50.600] I think it's been CTO,
[01:04:50.600 -> 01:04:52.800] Chief Technical Officer and Technical Director.
[01:04:52.800 -> 01:04:56.800] He was Aero before that, but yeah, he's gone.
[01:04:59.040 -> 01:05:00.440] He says he's left.
[01:05:00.440 -> 01:05:02.200] We don't know if he's been forced to leave
[01:05:02.200 -> 01:05:03.020] or whatever else,
[01:05:03.020 -> 01:05:04.600] because usually, you know,
[01:05:04.600 -> 01:05:05.000] when somebody has been in good standing with a company, they don't just be like, been forced to leave or whatever else, because usually, you know,
[01:05:05.000 -> 01:05:07.400] when somebody's been in good standing with a company, they don't just be like, right,
[01:05:07.400 -> 01:05:08.600] we sacked him, mate.
[01:05:08.600 -> 01:05:10.160] But very interesting.
[01:05:10.160 -> 01:05:13.280] I fucking left me.
[01:05:13.280 -> 01:05:15.240] I actually fucking left.
[01:05:15.240 -> 01:05:16.560] I was like, you know what?
[01:05:16.560 -> 01:05:20.040] I disenjoy I unenjoy Formula One so much.
[01:05:20.040 -> 01:05:25.840] I'm going to leave my really decent paycheck to make Formula One content for fucking peanuts.
[01:05:25.840 -> 01:05:26.480] That's what I did.
[01:05:26.480 -> 01:05:31.200] You want to know? I'm going to tell you how it went. I'm going to tell you how it went for me.
[01:05:31.840 -> 01:05:38.480] Right. So the popular misconception on Twitter is that I got fired and I do play up into that,
[01:05:38.480 -> 01:05:42.640] right? But when you hear this story, you'll even be more convinced that I was actually fired.
[01:05:45.240 -> 01:05:48.200] I handed in my notice and they were all like, yeah, cool.
[01:05:48.200 -> 01:05:49.440] Can you work in notice?
[01:05:49.480 -> 01:05:50.440] And I was like, yeah, that's fine.
[01:05:50.440 -> 01:05:51.040] No problem.
[01:05:51.520 -> 01:05:54.800] I went in the next day and I couldn't get through the gate or anything.
[01:05:54.800 -> 01:05:57.800] Cause my fingerprint, my biometrics stopped working.
[01:05:57.800 -> 01:06:00.120] So I was like, ah, cause they were a bit temperamental.
[01:06:00.120 -> 01:06:01.040] Sometimes it doesn't work.
[01:06:01.040 -> 01:06:02.200] So I was like, okay, whatever.
[01:06:02.840 -> 01:06:05.080] So I followed somebody else into the car park
[01:06:05.960 -> 01:06:09.640] Then I got stuck in the car park because my fingerprint wouldn't get me through anywhere
[01:06:09.640 -> 01:06:14.880] So I had to ring my manager up and I was like, oh, you know, my fingerprints not working
[01:06:14.880 -> 01:06:18.840] He was like, oh, yeah, you're on gardening leave and I was like great. I'm stuck in the car park. Thanks
[01:06:19.600 -> 01:06:26.360] My book kid God, dude, you know what? So you got gardening leave. I worked my entire notice.
[01:06:26.680 -> 01:06:29.040] Ah, mate, I got three months doing F all.
[01:06:29.560 -> 01:06:31.720] They were like, yeah, you're not going anywhere.
[01:06:31.760 -> 01:06:34.560] So you want to work till the end of the year?
[01:06:34.600 -> 01:06:37.040] And I was like, can you pay me to not come to work?
[01:06:37.040 -> 01:06:38.960] And they're like, no, we need help.
[01:06:39.160 -> 01:06:40.200] I was like, okay, fine.
[01:06:42.640 -> 01:06:44.920] I had three months getting paid to do nothing.
[01:06:44.960 -> 01:06:48.560] And I think I spent the majority of it on
[01:06:48.560 -> 01:06:49.560] World of Warcraft.
[01:06:49.560 -> 01:06:57.960] But my sins, you can please by all means let rip at me in the comments for that one.
[01:06:57.960 -> 01:06:58.960] I don't hate it.
[01:06:58.960 -> 01:06:59.960] Right, who are we getting?
[01:06:59.960 -> 01:07:00.960] You got random players?
[01:07:00.960 -> 01:07:04.160] I'll spin you first, big man.
[01:07:04.160 -> 01:07:08.320] Give me a spin. I'm giving you a spin.
[01:07:08.320 -> 01:07:10.920] Okay, you've got.
[01:07:10.920 -> 01:07:13.320] Oh, I just ticked over to Alpine.

[01:07:25.000 -> 01:07:26.000] No, they're good now.
[01:07:26.000 -> 01:07:27.000] The last time we did this, McLaren was shit.
[01:07:27.000 -> 01:07:28.000] Yeah, it was good.
[01:07:28.000 -> 01:07:29.000] It's been a long year since we've done it.
[01:07:29.000 -> 01:07:30.000] Let me look at the fraud watch list.
[01:07:30.000 -> 01:07:31.000] Let's see.

[01:07:36.000 -> 01:07:37.000] I'm not sure what they are.
[01:07:37.000 -> 01:07:38.000] I'm not sure what they are.
[01:07:38.000 -> 01:07:39.000] I'm not sure what they are.
[01:07:39.000 -> 01:07:40.000] I'm not sure what they are.
[01:07:40.000 -> 01:07:41.000] I'm not sure what they are.
[01:07:41.000 -> 01:07:42.000] I'm not sure what they are.
[01:07:42.000 -> 01:07:43.000] I'm not sure what they are.
[01:07:43.000 -> 01:07:44.000] I'm not sure what they are.

[01:08:00.960 -> 01:08:01.960] them up a bit this year.
[01:08:01.960 -> 01:08:02.960] Let's talk about...
[01:08:02.960 -> 01:08:08.240] Everybody in the chat is now talking about which period of World of Warcraft was
[01:08:08.240 -> 01:08:09.240] the best.
[01:08:09.240 -> 01:08:13.020] Oh my God, I never my brother, my brother and his girlfriend played wow a lot.
[01:08:13.020 -> 01:08:14.240] I've never played well.
[01:08:14.240 -> 01:08:16.880] The last time I played with Star Wars Galaxies.
[01:08:16.880 -> 01:08:18.840] Ooh, retro.
[01:08:18.840 -> 01:08:19.960] That is old school.
[01:08:19.960 -> 01:08:21.040] That dates me a little bit.
[01:08:21.040 -> 01:08:22.040] I'm ancient.
[01:08:22.040 -> 01:08:27.880] Hey, I got what's going to say, Hey, do you want to, uh, have a secret meet up?
[01:08:27.920 -> 01:08:31.480] Me and you this, uh, Thursday to go have a look at something.
[01:08:32.160 -> 01:08:33.280] Don't don't done.
[01:08:33.600 -> 01:08:34.320] Yeah, I do.
[01:08:34.440 -> 01:08:35.880] Why don't we get revealed?
[01:08:36.480 -> 01:08:36.720] Yeah.
[01:08:36.720 -> 01:08:38.760] So what here's just a little teaser.
[01:08:39.120 -> 01:08:44.040] Um, we've had a little bit of interest to do some events, some meetups.
[01:08:44.360 -> 01:08:45.080] Um, both Dan and I are relatively antisocial beings. We've had a little bit of interest to do some events, some meetups.
[01:08:45.080 -> 01:08:47.680] Both Dan and I are relatively antisocial beings.
[01:08:47.680 -> 01:08:52.360] We like keeping to ourselves, but we go live basically every week.
[01:08:52.360 -> 01:08:55.720] I know we've missed a couple in the last few weeks, but we go live pretty much every week
[01:08:55.720 -> 01:08:58.160] and we have a freaking great time hanging out with you guys.
[01:08:58.160 -> 01:09:03.920] So we're like, cool, if we could get a little meetup, get a beer or two in, do a live recording
[01:09:03.920 -> 01:09:05.120] maybe somewhere and hang
[01:09:05.120 -> 01:09:11.240] out with you guys. That'd be awesome. So we're working on that. It will be in the UK. Uh,
[01:09:11.240 -> 01:09:16.160] but the plan for next year is to see if anybody would like to collaborate, work together,
[01:09:16.160 -> 01:09:22.080] bring us out to a race, let us do some, uh, shenaniganry and have a blast. So we'll see.
[01:09:22.080 -> 01:09:23.080] Yeah.
[01:09:23.080 -> 01:09:25.760] See if we can sell ourselves out.
[01:09:26.440 -> 01:09:26.760] Exactly.
[01:09:30.960 -> 01:09:31.120] But, um, yeah, then after that, what are we thinking?
[01:09:32.200 -> 01:09:35.400] Uh, we'll see. Yeah, we've got one planned or we're working on planning one.
[01:09:35.400 -> 01:09:36.360] We'll see how that goes.
[01:09:36.360 -> 01:09:36.880] Something.
[01:09:37.760 -> 01:09:43.120] Um, obviously it won't be this year, so, you know, and we'll, we'll figure it out.
[01:09:43.120 -> 01:09:44.080] We'll let you know more.
[01:09:45.320 -> 01:09:47.880] Uh, merchandise is coming.
[01:09:48.160 -> 01:09:51.040] I know a lot of people say, oh, you should do shirts or something like that.
[01:09:51.040 -> 01:09:53.120] I am working on that in the background.
[01:09:53.280 -> 01:09:59.720] Um, yeah, big W's, but we need to be waiting on samples because I'm
[01:09:59.720 -> 01:10:01.520] not selling something that's crap.
[01:10:02.120 -> 01:10:02.680] Absolutely.
[01:10:02.720 -> 01:10:03.240] A hundred percent.
[01:10:03.240 -> 01:10:07.880] As much as we are fraudulent, if it's a shirt and it looks absolute crap, I'm not selling it.
[01:10:08.240 -> 01:10:08.960] No, exactly.
[01:10:08.960 -> 01:10:13.800] Like I had some stuff from Teespring done for break F1 and my streaming stuff.
[01:10:14.560 -> 01:10:18.800] And like 10 washes later, the prints were coming off and I'm like, no fucking way.
[01:10:18.800 -> 01:10:21.640] I'm like, I don't want to make margins on it.
[01:10:21.640 -> 01:10:23.440] I want to just community stuff.
[01:10:23.440 -> 01:10:23.800] Right.
[01:10:24.760 -> 01:10:28.420] So I don't, I don't want you make margins on it. I want to just community stuff, right? So I don't want you guys spending money on stuff
[01:10:29.920 -> 01:10:33.480] and then it being shit, that's not good.
[01:10:33.480 -> 01:10:35.900] I'm not going to ask anybody to spend money on garbage.
[01:10:35.900 -> 01:10:38.780] So we'll make sure that we get good stuff
[01:10:38.780 -> 01:10:40.680] and good prints, good quality
[01:10:40.680 -> 01:10:41.820] and stuff that you guys want.
[01:10:41.820 -> 01:10:43.140] So yeah.
[01:10:44.440 -> 01:10:45.320] Sounds good.
[01:10:45.320 -> 01:10:47.680] It's just gonna be basically a big picture of me
[01:10:47.680 -> 01:10:49.320] on the back.
[01:10:49.320 -> 01:10:50.560] And then you can just, you know,
[01:10:50.560 -> 01:10:52.000] wear that around the house
[01:10:52.000 -> 01:10:55.560] and your wife and partners and fingers can just look at it.
[01:10:56.440 -> 01:10:57.920] And be like, wow, look at that guy
[01:10:57.920 -> 01:10:59.640] and his incredible beard.
[01:10:59.640 -> 01:11:00.480] Yeah.
[01:11:00.480 -> 01:11:03.440] Speaking of quickly, while we're wrapping this up,
[01:11:03.440 -> 01:11:04.720] toilet reviews.
[01:11:04.720 -> 01:11:06.060] Austin, Circuit of the Americas.
[01:11:06.060 -> 01:11:09.340] I only used the Red Bull hospitality toilets.
[01:11:09.340 -> 01:11:10.340] They were spectacular.
[01:11:10.340 -> 01:11:13.660] They were like one of those mobile toilet units, but they were super clean.
[01:11:13.660 -> 01:11:16.380] They were super good.
[01:11:16.380 -> 01:11:19.220] But I did have, I don't know if I put it in the notes.
[01:11:19.220 -> 01:11:25.680] I definitely had a message from somebody on Twitter or Instagram talking about, I can't remember, but basically
[01:11:25.680 -> 01:11:30.220] we've, we've had our first guest submission of toilet reviews.
[01:11:30.220 -> 01:11:31.220] I need to go dig that out.
[01:11:31.220 -> 01:11:37.760] But he was basically, there was a unisex toilet somewhere and a matey boy goes for a pit stop
[01:11:37.760 -> 01:11:40.600] and like he comes out and there's just like a bunch of women in the same place.
[01:11:40.600 -> 01:11:45.600] And he's like, I was using the standing facility and there's babies in here.
[01:11:45.600 -> 01:11:47.440] You should be in the right place or not.
[01:11:47.440 -> 01:11:48.440] Yeah, exactly.
[01:11:48.440 -> 01:11:49.440] Brilliant.
[01:11:49.440 -> 01:11:52.760] Oh, so, uh, wow.
[01:11:52.760 -> 01:11:53.760] Dig that out.
[01:11:53.760 -> 01:11:54.760] Very funny.
[01:11:54.760 -> 01:11:55.760] Austin.
[01:11:55.760 -> 01:11:56.760] Yeah.
[01:11:56.760 -> 01:11:57.760] Anyway, anyway, yeah.
[01:11:57.760 -> 01:12:00.280] I was gonna say you're live streaming.
[01:12:00.280 -> 01:12:01.280] Oh no, you're not.
[01:12:01.280 -> 01:12:04.800] You said you were going away doing alcohol tasting or something.
[01:12:04.800 -> 01:12:10.640] Yeah, I'm, uh, I'm doing a hold on a second. I've just killed the wrong button there. Sorry
[01:12:10.640 -> 01:12:15.440] video. Yeah, I'm skipping the live stream on Friday. I think I'll be live on Sunday
[01:12:15.440 -> 01:12:19.800] for the race watch along. Maybe the sprint, but honestly, the sprints can get in the bed,
[01:12:19.800 -> 01:12:28.560] but this could be exciting. so who knows. Cool. Shall we do a Brazil podcast next week?
[01:12:28.560 -> 01:12:29.680] Absolutely, yeah.
[01:12:29.680 -> 01:12:31.800] I think Monday or Tuesday, as usual.
[01:12:31.800 -> 01:12:34.200] We'll plan and we shall let you know on the Twitters.
[01:12:34.200 -> 01:12:36.640] And finally, one last thing.

[01:12:41.960 -> 01:12:43.880] Two copies are up for grabs.
[01:12:43.880 -> 01:12:48.000] I tweeted out a joke saying 90% of Twitter could use this book.
[01:12:48.960 -> 01:12:52.080] Uh, a lot of people actually genuinely turn around and said, Oh, I would actually
[01:12:52.240 -> 01:12:53.160] quite like this book.
[01:12:53.160 -> 01:12:54.280] So I was like, right, fine.
