[00:00.000 -> 00:05.600] When you're battling with another Pokemon and your Pokemon can get confused and then it starts damaging yourself.
[00:05.700 -> 00:07.560] That's exactly what's happening with Ferrari.
[00:17.120 -> 00:21.160] Hello, folks. Welcome to F1 Fan Fiction.
[00:22.080 -> 00:23.880] Yesterday's race was brilliant, by the way.
[00:26.680 -> 00:33.320] F1 Fan Fiction. Yesterday's race was brilliant by the way. You are listening to F1 Fan Fiction, a podcast about race reviews and race community interviews. You are listening to this on a
[00:33.320 -> 00:41.000] Tuesday but we've got a very special episode which was actually supposed to be this main
[00:41.000 -> 00:45.780] episode, but it's turned out to be such a
[00:45.780 -> 00:51.160] standalone beautiful piece in itself that it's gonna drop tomorrow as a
[00:51.160 -> 00:56.440] special paddock club episode with a very special guest so stay tuned for that
[00:56.440 -> 01:01.400] until then let's dive into the Silverstone race weekend we are your
[01:01.400 -> 01:05.800] hosts I am Akash and I'mang. And let's get into it.
[01:07.280 -> 01:08.880] Akash, have you noticed this?
[01:08.960 -> 01:13.440] And I accidentally came across this while I was like looking at the leaderboard.
[01:14.080 -> 01:18.360] That yesterday's podium basically was 11 plus 44 equal to 55.
[01:18.880 -> 01:20.880] Because that's what their driver numbers are.
[01:21.800 -> 01:23.280] Like Perez being 11.
[01:24.000 -> 01:27.400] Hamilton being 44. Fancy being 44, signs being 55.
[01:28.440 -> 01:31.080] I think this has happened once before, but this is beautiful.
[01:31.080 -> 01:35.320] Like, like it leads up to P2 and P3 leading to P1 sort of thing.
[01:35.400 -> 01:39.080] Exactly. Yeah. That's a beauty.
[01:39.240 -> 01:43.080] But like, I think something like this had similarly happened once when it was,
[01:43.160 -> 01:49.140] I think 33, 22. Is there any 22 on the track?
[01:49.140 -> 01:50.140] I don't know.
[01:50.140 -> 01:57.600] 33, 44 and 55 I think. Oh right, it was Max, Hamilton and Sainz back then. Anyways, yeah.
[01:57.600 -> 02:06.000] Interesting, interesting, interesting. But yeah man, I think what, last night, the last race was the best race ever.
[02:06.000 -> 02:08.260] Is it? Does it? I think so.
[02:08.260 -> 02:12.260] At least for this season, maybe at least even in the last two seasons probably.
[02:12.260 -> 02:16.260] Right. Who knows? It was insane man.
[02:16.260 -> 02:21.260] Before we dive into sort of like the meat of it, let's get into our stats section.
[02:21.260 -> 02:31.680] Ferrari won the first ever race as F1 in 1950. Vettel turned 35
[02:31.680 -> 02:36.560] yesterday. Alonso breaks Kimi's record of most
[02:36.560 -> 02:46.200] mileage on track that is insane. Just to give you some perspective folks, he's driven now a quarter distance to the moon.
[02:46.200 -> 02:50.200] The freaking moon. The freaking moon.
[02:50.200 -> 02:54.200] He just has to do this three more times.
[02:54.200 -> 02:57.200] Three more times. Yeah. And he'll almost be at the moon.
[02:57.200 -> 03:06.320] Last win from pole position was back in by Pastor Maldonado in 2012 and what's it
[03:06.320 -> 03:09.120] and you know what's interesting here what's interesting here is like I
[03:09.120 -> 03:14.800] remember the Pastor Maldonado's start coming up earlier the season 2 so
[03:14.800 -> 03:19.440] it's it's interesting how like 2012 and Pastor Maldonado's hitting the stats
[03:19.440 -> 03:28.720] stats reel. Ferrari has now led almost 80,000 kilometers in F1 since the
[03:28.720 -> 03:32.820] inception of the sport it's just brilliant it's just brilliant so there's
[03:32.820 -> 03:37.020] some there's some stats for you folks do tell us actually how do you like this
[03:37.020 -> 03:41.000] stat section that we start off for the episode with we try to bring you some
[03:41.000 -> 03:49.640] you know trivia and some some stats before we get into the meat of it. The meat of it yesterday, Sarang take us into the brutal
[03:50.280 -> 03:55.360] fingers crossed situation that everyone was sitting with their hands and
[03:55.360 -> 03:57.400] like praying for miracle.
[03:57.720 -> 04:00.240] Right. It was crazy, man.
[04:00.240 -> 04:04.840] Like I started watching the race and I saw like something sliding behind and I was
[04:04.840 -> 04:07.000] very confused. was going on.
[04:07.000 -> 04:10.240] And then it suddenly struck me that it's a car that is sliding.
[04:10.240 -> 04:16.480] At first I thought it's like you know something I don't know some debris or something that just you know flying past in the background.
[04:16.480 -> 04:19.840] But oh my god what a crash that was. It was carnage man.
[04:19.840 -> 04:29.600] It was crazy man. Like there was Sunoda, Ocon, Russell, Xiao, Xiao obviously and then Albon. So it was like a 5 way crash.
[04:30.000 -> 04:42.200] Xiao, the intensity of it right like the first thought is yeah you run off you get into the gravel and you're gonna be caught by the gravel and then you'll be caught by either the tech pro or the tire barrier.
[04:42.200 -> 04:43.240] caught by either the tech pro or the tire barrier.
[04:47.520 -> 04:50.720] Here the fucking car just flips over the barrier and is caught by the, like the catching fence. It's nuts.
[04:51.680 -> 04:53.040] Yeah, man, it's insane.
[04:53.600 -> 04:56.480] And also the way the crash happened itself was insane.
[04:56.480 -> 05:01.240] Like the crash itself didn't look that
[05:01.240 -> 05:05.760] bad, like the actual crash between George and
[05:06.480 -> 05:10.960] Xiao, you know, like basically what happened was like Gasly got squeezed, right.
[05:11.000 -> 05:15.560] And this guy, Russell was kind of closing the gap,
[05:15.760 -> 05:18.360] even though he had actually a lot of space on the right, of course,
[05:21.080 -> 05:22.280] yeah, just being aggressive.
[05:22.720 -> 05:31.500] But what turned out is basically Gasly's tyre hitting Russell's rear tyre and then he swerving into Albon.
[05:31.500 -> 05:35.000] And I think somebody did hit Albon too, I guess, from behind.
[05:35.000 -> 05:49.840] Albon, yeah. So, folks started braking and Vettel actually wasn't able to stop by that point and ran into Albon's rear, which made Albon go into this uncontrollable
[05:49.840 -> 05:56.760] spiral, hit the wall, came back onto the track and then I think Sunoda hit him once and then
[05:56.760 -> 05:58.080] someone else hit him too.
[05:58.080 -> 06:02.480] So he got T-boned once and then front or rear ended again.
[06:02.480 -> 06:07.000] So yeah, dude, he had a bad one too with Xiao.
[06:07.000 -> 06:15.000] Oh, by the way, quick correction. I mistakenly said that Russell hit into Albon, but I meant to say into Xiao.
[06:15.000 -> 06:25.200] Yeah, we know that. We know that. But it was crazy, man. Like, Botas was like, the other alpha was used to launch the first alpha of
[06:25.200 -> 06:34.160] Xiao where Xiao was probably auditioning for Top Gun part 3 because he maybe saw
[06:34.160 -> 06:39.920] Tom Cruise in the pits and be like yeah I can do that inverted 530 G whatever
[06:39.920 -> 06:46.120] cheese you want me to pull but it was scary it was It was scary. I don't know what you feel about.
[06:46.120 -> 06:49.680] So I think it's new with all the accidents that have happened
[06:49.680 -> 06:52.880] where FIA sort of just blocked all the communications.
[06:53.920 -> 06:57.680] Didn't tell us until they knew themselves what was happening with Jiao.
[06:58.200 -> 06:59.080] What's your take there?
[06:59.080 -> 06:59.920] What's your take there?
[07:01.360 -> 07:04.320] I mean, I completely kind of understand
[07:04.320 -> 07:25.700] their perspective of not showing the crash and you know, not talking about the crash as well as, you know, speculating about how Zhao must be without having like actual confirmation. from multiple sources and I myself haven't validated it but I kind of want
[07:25.700 -> 07:30.740] to figure out but basically it seems like there was some there was a
[07:30.740 -> 07:34.740] difference between the coverage the sky coverage and the F1 TV coverage in the
[07:34.740 -> 07:40.160] sense that after the crash while the red flag was pulled in and you know
[07:40.160 -> 07:42.980] everybody's was waiting I think there was how much I think they waited for
[07:42.980 -> 07:45.240] around 40 minutes yeah yeah something like that. I think there was how much I think they waited for around 40 minutes. Yeah.
[07:51.480 -> 07:55.920] Yeah. Something like that. And I think on sky, I'm not sure. And I guess you, you see sky coverage. So do you know, when did they actually come back with saying that Java is okay.
[07:56.160 -> 08:00.800] It was too late into, yeah. Same thing, something like 40, 45 minutes.
[08:00.800 -> 08:03.560] Cause the race restarted an hour after like the red flag.
[08:04.640 -> 08:11.400] 45 minutes because the race restarted an hour after like the red flag so it was like maybe 20 minutes before the race restart so 10 minutes before they
[08:11.400 -> 08:15.280] actually announced that it's gonna be all fine because they said they said
[08:15.280 -> 08:20.760] that Jha was fine or maybe could the at max at modestly could be like half an
[08:20.760 -> 08:24.760] hour but not definitely not more than that because once they started showing
[08:24.760 -> 08:27.320] and saying that Jha was fine that's when they started
[08:27.320 -> 08:31.800] showing all the race replays and then Karuth Chandak was on ground telling you
[08:31.800 -> 08:35.840] know what actually happened and like how all the cars sort of played a role
[08:35.840 -> 08:41.040] overall it there's this thing that happened yesterday which I feel
[08:41.040 -> 08:45.000] like everyone towards the mid to the rear end of the
[08:45.000 -> 08:51.500] pack had a poor restart and that bunched them together which just led to them
[08:51.500 -> 08:55.800] trying to defend their positions be aggressive and leading to the
[08:55.800 -> 09:03.160] shenanigan that eventually yeah yeah yeah yeah but I think yeah so I think
[09:03.160 -> 09:13.360] that I'm a bit confused then because I don't know why, why the internet was shouting on at F1 TV about not telling whether, you know what happened with Jau.
[09:13.360 -> 09:16.160] Because if Sky did the same thing, then it kind of makes sense.
[09:16.160 -> 09:30.200] Yeah, whatever. I think the internet is just, but glad to see, thankful to see Xiao back scratch-free.
[09:30.200 -> 09:36.400] Essentially, dude, he was walking back in the pits after his medical checkup. That's just insane.
[09:36.400 -> 09:37.400] Insane.
[09:37.400 -> 09:41.300] Anyways, we see all of that.
[09:41.300 -> 09:53.120] And while all of that's going on, there's this other going on in my head which is you know a catch fence was able to stop a 30G rolling car that's hurling towards itself.
[09:53.520 -> 10:00.200] But not able to stop seven humans to cross the fence and go on to the track.
[10:00.640 -> 10:06.000] There were seven protesters on the track right when this accident was happening.
[10:06.000 -> 10:08.000] God that was crazy.
[10:08.000 -> 10:14.000] It was crazy man. I mean I don't understand like the whole thing was stupid.
[10:14.000 -> 10:24.000] I mean I am all in for climate, making changes to save our planet earth from complete annihilation.
[10:24.000 -> 10:27.960] But at the same time that protest didn't make any sense at all,
[10:27.960 -> 10:31.920] especially they could have just, you know, it could have caused a very horrific
[10:31.920 -> 10:37.240] accident, if not for Jao crashing and a red flag being called in.
[10:37.560 -> 10:39.280] Because you say that. If that didn't happen.
[10:40.400 -> 10:44.120] Right. Like cars hurling at 300 kmph towards you.
[10:44.640 -> 10:49.720] Because you say that there's this video of someone taking, of you know, these protesters on the track.
[10:50.080 -> 10:54.080] And you know, you see three protesters sitting on the track, a fourth one comes and joins.
[10:54.080 -> 10:58.320] And I'm guessing, because it's already red flagged, but the cars are still coming.
[10:58.320 -> 11:00.400] They aren't as that fast as they used to be.
[11:00.680 -> 11:04.120] But this fourth person gets scared of like, oh, fuck, there's a car coming.
[11:04.120 -> 11:05.120] So he goes and sits
[11:05.120 -> 11:10.640] on the other side before being pulled away by the marshals and then you can see i think i don't know
[11:10.640 -> 11:17.760] whose car it is from that you can see a video but like you can see gasly or someone's car like front
[11:17.760 -> 11:28.000] cam showing you know these predators being dragged away crazy stuff crazy stuff, crazy stuff. Yeah man, crazy stuff. I am glad nothing bad happened with them.
[11:28.000 -> 11:32.720] But it's insane that such things can happen.
[11:32.720 -> 11:38.560] True. And for folks, man, these drivers or at least the veterans do take
[11:38.560 -> 11:43.600] you know these messages and these things very seriously which we don't see
[11:43.600 -> 11:51.000] day to day and that's a discussion that you will hear from our special guest in tomorrow's special Paddock episode,
[11:51.000 -> 11:57.000] where he does talk about how serious Lewis, as a driver at least, is about such issues,
[11:57.000 -> 12:02.000] that they are pushing for change. And it will come. It will come.
[12:02.000 -> 12:08.000] It takes a fucking whole village to turn things around. So, it will come it will come it takes it takes a fucking whole village to turn things around so yeah it will come
[12:08.000 -> 12:15.000] what else man what else stood out there was this interesting how one hour what stood out
[12:15.000 -> 12:25.000] right I guess what stood out is Ferrari fighting Ferrari Oh God man, what were they up to?
[12:25.000 -> 12:39.000] It reminds me of the Pokemon game where you know when somebody like one of the when you're battling with another Pokemon and your Pokemon can get confused and then it starts damaging yourself. That's exactly what's happening with Ferrari.
[12:39.000 -> 12:47.120] Tell a robot a perplexing question to make itself blast future Rama is what Ferrari is living in. Oh, man
[12:47.120 -> 12:51.300] I remember this this radio message where science was leading
[12:51.840 -> 12:57.520] Max was sorry Leclerc was behind him and then Leclerc comes out of the radio and says
[12:59.440 -> 13:03.240] Can I go ahead or something to that effect right like I want to basically go ahead
[13:04.160 -> 13:10.840] What's the play here it's a direct question to which I remember Ferrari replying
[13:10.840 -> 13:17.320] science just did sorry no completely different max just did a you know 31x
[13:17.320 -> 13:23.760] and I'm like even the commentators were like this was a very
[13:23.760 -> 13:26.640] straightforward questions which should have had a straightforward answer.
[13:27.760 -> 13:34.720] And five minutes later, they did come in and say, you know, we're letting science stay in front. If he doesn't do XYZ, we'll let you buy.
[13:36.480 -> 13:42.560] Yeah, man, it seemed like very complicated logic, very same as I write at my job.
[13:42.760 -> 13:47.440] very same as I write at my job. But, uh, they were like, talk,
[13:47.480 -> 13:51.360] they were like literally giving out essays, like, you know, on if he does not
[13:51.400 -> 13:55.120] overtake X number of laps and it does not meet this target.
[13:55.440 -> 13:57.240] That's when we allow you to go ahead.
[13:59.800 -> 14:02.000] The functional spec needs to be done.
[14:02.440 -> 14:05.280] God, God. But I think this is what is done. God, God.
[14:06.000 -> 14:09.200] But I think this is what is harming Ferrari, man.
[14:09.200 -> 14:12.400] Like, and we've talked about this before as well,
[14:13.240 -> 14:18.240] the indecisiveness is killing them. Like Red Bull never thinks twice.
[14:19.120 -> 14:22.400] Mercedes as well never thinks twice. Once they have decided something,
[14:22.400 -> 14:27.120] they just go along with it. And I don't know, man, this seems very stupid.
[14:28.200 -> 14:32.760] They're basically gifting the win to Max and Red Bull at this point.
[14:32.880 -> 14:36.520] That's that's how they have the faster car, but they aren't able to materialize it.
[14:36.520 -> 14:41.400] Right. Like in the Internet's tone on this, I was reading quite a lot of angry
[14:41.400 -> 14:45.120] comments. I mean, Twitter's obviously the bitching ground at this point.
[14:45.120 -> 14:52.320] But like Reddit too, where people were saying why is Ferrari allowing science to call the shots?
[14:53.760 -> 14:59.360] And I want to come to your thoughts, but like my thought on that is if science, like sure science
[14:59.360 -> 15:04.640] calling the shots in Monaco probably sabotaged Leclerc's rake. I mean not probably it did.
[15:04.400 -> 15:08.680] shots in Monaco probably sabotaged Leclerc's rake. I mean, not probably. It did. And there was this whole debate of he shouldn't be allowed,
[15:08.960 -> 15:11.520] but like if he wouldn't have done what he did yesterday,
[15:12.760 -> 15:15.240] Hamilton would have been sitting on P1 for sure.
[15:16.480 -> 15:20.560] Whereas it would have still been P2 and maybe Alonso would have been P3, you know.
[15:20.560 -> 15:21.960] P3. Yeah. Yeah.
[15:22.080 -> 15:23.960] Ferrari would not have been there.
[15:25.600 -> 15:30.040] That's true. You know, E3. Yeah. Yeah. Ferrari would not have been there. That's true. You know, I read somewhere and it completely made sense to me,
[15:30.680 -> 15:35.600] that both the situations are very different and it kind of makes sense why
[15:35.600 -> 15:39.160] science like calls his own shots because for Charles,
[15:39.160 -> 15:41.240] he knows that he is the number one driver.
[15:41.240 -> 15:44.760] He knows that the team would give him preference.
[15:46.240 -> 15:52.000] that he is the number one driver. He knows that the team would give him preference. So he kind of relies more on the team that they will kind of, you know, give him the right strategy. And science
[15:52.000 -> 15:57.600] knows that he is the second fiddle. And if he needs to win, he needs to do it by his own thing.
[15:57.600 -> 16:06.240] Right. He can't exactly rely on the team. And thus he like often goes against their will and tries to like a forge his own path.
[16:07.500 -> 16:11.000] Fair, fair, fair. Yeah, dude, that's exactly what's happening.
[16:11.380 -> 16:15.540] I mean, cutting a few laps ahead of us.
[16:16.380 -> 16:29.200] But what folks we are infamously referring to is the second race restart after the safety car where nonsensically
[16:29.200 -> 16:36.960] Ferrari told science to go ahead and help build a 10 car length to Leclerc
[16:36.960 -> 16:43.920] yeah even the commentators were like what the fuck is happening yeah it was
[16:43.920 -> 16:45.000] ridiculous man.
[16:45.000 -> 16:48.000] First of all, they fucked up Charles's strategy.
[16:48.000 -> 16:50.000] Okay, of course, he's on inferior tires.
[16:50.000 -> 16:52.000] Why wasn't he called in?
[16:52.000 -> 16:54.000] Yeah, no idea.
[16:54.000 -> 16:58.000] So I read an interview with Benotto where he said that
[16:58.000 -> 17:01.000] he basically maintains that Ferrari did nothing wrong.
[17:01.000 -> 17:04.000] If he would go back, he would do exactly the same thing.
[17:04.000 -> 17:25.640] Obviously. He says that basically if they wanted to like keep the track position because Mercedes is clearly not the fastest car right now.
[17:25.640 -> 17:30.880] So you know, you do have some advantage to overtake and this is not Monaco where track
[17:30.880 -> 17:32.880] position is king.
[17:32.880 -> 17:35.880] You can still overtake, you can clearly see that happening.
[17:35.880 -> 17:36.880] Yeah.
[17:36.880 -> 17:40.480] But man, that was stupid.
[17:40.480 -> 17:43.480] And another thing that confused me, sorry for cutting you off, but another thing that
[17:43.480 -> 17:46.000] really confused me was, is that even allowed?
[17:46.000 -> 17:50.700] Can you just slow down completely during a safety car? I don't think so.
[17:50.700 -> 17:53.200] I think there is some requirement of Delta.
[17:53.200 -> 18:00.700] Yeah, you got to be in that Delta with the car in front and behind you. No, just the car in front of you, I guess.
[18:00.700 -> 18:09.480] But the message that came out was like way ahead of knowing that there's gonna be green flags so even within the Delta probably
[18:09.480 -> 18:12.520] there was this room that they would have a calculated which is what was
[18:12.520 -> 18:16.320] communicated to sign so that's that's what I'm taking from there but overall
[18:16.320 -> 18:20.920] it was bullshit because interestingly interestingly yesterday the hard tires
[18:20.920 -> 18:28.800] were being a bitch like they weren't warming up fast enough to give the advantage that a hard tire usually gives you, right?
[18:28.800 -> 18:34.200] And we saw that every driver that came on to hards was struggling.
[18:34.200 -> 18:39.400] Leclerc was on the hards where the other two were on soft with like 10 laps to go.
[18:39.400 -> 18:43.720] They clearly, I mean textually they have advantage over Leclerc himself.
[18:43.720 -> 18:47.100] So that was just bullshit call. But like all in all it's good.
[18:47.100 -> 18:51.300] Science finally gets to win after 12 years.
[18:51.300 -> 18:56.600] His last win at Silverstone came in 2010 when he was racing with BMW Racing.
[18:56.600 -> 18:58.600] So that's another start for you folks.
[18:58.600 -> 19:07.480] His first ever win after 150 races which also I think is a Pastor Maldonado fact but don't
[19:07.480 -> 19:16.800] quote me there but yeah I'm happy he's killing it. Man we were wrong he did
[19:16.800 -> 19:21.640] fairly win with everything working out perfectly right but we thought that that
[19:21.640 -> 19:27.840] might not happen but it was still a dramatic weekend. It wasn't the usual race day, race weekend sort of thing.
[19:27.840 -> 19:29.480] So there was still drama there.
[19:29.480 -> 19:32.480] But he was on the podium.
[19:32.480 -> 19:34.480] But we called it. We called it.
[19:34.480 -> 19:39.880] Folks, we go back to Canada's recording and like Sarang called it.
[19:39.880 -> 19:44.000] Sarang said for science to win, there will have to be some drama happening.
[19:44.000 -> 19:47.000] And there was at Silverstone and there was actually. Science was on podium.
[19:47.000 -> 19:48.500] That's true.
[19:48.500 -> 19:56.500] But beyond science, man, Perez. I think like he's one guy who thinks like he can only do good when he's last.
[19:56.500 -> 20:04.000] You know what? Red Bull should just straight up not... I mean, he should stop going into qualification entirely.
[20:04.000 -> 20:05.200] Just start every race at
[20:05.200 -> 20:14.080] 220. Yeah. Last is the new first for Perez. Oh man. I honestly, at a point I thought that this
[20:14.080 -> 20:20.400] is going to be like the repeat of Shakir Grand Prix where he goes from last to first. And at
[20:20.400 -> 20:27.560] one point I think it was possible if not for the battle that they had with Charles and Hamilton and Perez,
[20:28.320 -> 20:31.440] probably he wasted a lot of his tires there while fighting them.
[20:31.760 -> 20:32.600] If not for that,
[20:32.600 -> 20:37.400] I think that maybe he would have caught up with signs as well if he
[20:37.400 -> 20:39.000] maintained the pace that he was driving.
[20:40.440 -> 20:45.520] And he probably was the only one up there who didn't have any damage on his cars.
[20:45.520 -> 20:52.400] Because like the first 6 drivers were probably all of them just limping with some or the other damage on their cars.
[20:52.400 -> 20:58.760] But he is having a brilliant of a season dude. He is nailing it absolutely fine.
[20:58.760 -> 21:07.680] He secured himself for those podium positions. We get to see the round teddy bear Carlos
[21:07.680 -> 21:14.280] Senior, sorry Perez Senior celebrating. So it's all in all an awesome thing.
[21:14.280 -> 21:20.800] But what is Max doing? Man he was just complaining that's all. That's all I
[21:20.800 -> 21:27.680] remember about him in the days that he was complaining, complaining and complaining. Oh my God, it was getting frustrating at the point.
[21:28.800 -> 21:36.760] I remember him just sort of coming onto the radio saying he's gotten, he's picked up some carbon from God knows whose car.
[21:38.400 -> 21:41.560] And he just sort of just went into the pits.
[21:41.560 -> 21:43.680] I was like, did they communicate he's coming?
[21:43.680 -> 21:50.000] Like someone's sipping, someone's peeing, someone's doing something and all of a sudden, Max is coming into the pits. I was like, did they communicate he is coming? Like someone is sipping, someone is peeing, someone is doing something and all of a sudden Max is coming into the garage.
[21:50.000 -> 21:55.500] They changed his tires but from there it was just downhill, continuous cribbing.
[21:55.500 -> 22:13.760] He is losing wings, he is losing underbelly. To his benefit, he did have quite a lot of damage because like post race interviews, he did say that when he picked up the carbon, like his underbelly is completely ruined and that just affected his race.
[22:13.760 -> 22:16.400] I think, where did he finish? He finished at P9, I guess.
[22:16.400 -> 22:17.760] P9, I think.
[22:17.760 -> 22:19.160] P7.
[22:19.160 -> 22:24.640] P7. Okay, P7. Right. Yeah. And that way he was fighting like tooth and nail with Big Shoe, man.
[22:24.640 -> 22:25.120] Oh, yeah. He was fighting like tooth and nail with Mick Schumacher. Oh yeah.
[22:25.120 -> 22:26.720] He was fighting a horse man.
[22:26.720 -> 22:31.600] He was fighting a horse. Dude but he's very aggressive dude. I feel like at some level
[22:31.600 -> 22:33.920] Mick would have just probably gotten shunted away.
[22:35.120 -> 22:41.440] First of all that track is anyways a PTSD track for him. For West Hampton.
[22:41.440 -> 22:42.400] Max right. Yeah.
[22:44.640 -> 22:52.000] Yeah man. It was yeah it was weird at points, but at the same time, I saw a lot of criticism for Max.
[22:52.000 -> 22:56.200] Like people were saying that he should have just let Mick go by.
[22:56.200 -> 23:01.000] Anyways, he was like driving a damaged car, but I completely disagree with that.
[23:01.000 -> 23:04.000] Exactly. No, I mean, why would you want that?
[23:04.000 -> 23:07.240] He's fighting for, I mean, championship here.
[23:07.240 -> 23:09.200] Every point matters. Dude, these guys,
[23:09.240 -> 23:13.960] exactly we as spectators have such a different mindset versus these guys on the
[23:13.960 -> 23:16.400] racetrack in the cockpit. Every point matters.
[23:17.280 -> 23:19.040] Every point matters. And not just about that.
[23:19.040 -> 23:23.160] I think it's also an insult to the other driver if you let somebody buy, I mean,
[23:23.160 -> 23:25.040] it's, it's,
[23:29.920 -> 23:30.000] not the best thing. It was like, everybody wants their points by,
[23:33.280 -> 23:34.040] you know, earning them, not them being gifted to them.
[23:37.200 -> 23:39.120] I'm with you. I think like F1 fan fiction is like, no, there should be a good battle. There should be fight.
[23:39.440 -> 23:41.840] Obviously don't just shunt someone out.
[23:42.760 -> 23:48.000] Of course not. Yeah. But, but yeah, battle nonetheless, like don't just shut someone out. Of course not. But battle nonetheless. Don't just give up.
[23:48.000 -> 23:50.000] Yeah.
[23:50.000 -> 23:54.000] But that leads on to a good topic man.
[23:54.000 -> 23:56.000] Like points for Mick there.
[23:56.000 -> 23:58.000] Points for NSC.
[23:58.000 -> 24:03.000] Finally, finally getting what he well deserves.
[24:03.000 -> 24:07.520] Doing what that has. seven people had to retire for
[24:10.320 -> 24:19.240] Oh, by the way, okay. Yeah. Yeah. While we are on that seven people retiring. Okay, let's consider this. Okay, let's take a little time to go TV.
[24:19.320 -> 24:25.840] We need to talk about Latifi the Go TV. Sure. Sure. First of all, credit to him for reaching Q3 on pure pace.
[24:25.840 -> 24:29.360] Like, you know, complete credit to him. I'll still attribute rain there, but sure.
[24:29.360 -> 24:35.000] Let's call it pure pace. You know, it's still a skill of knowing when to go for your fastest lap and everything.
[24:35.600 -> 24:37.760] So still credit where credit's due.
[24:38.320 -> 24:42.440] But right after reaching Q3, he didn't know what to do after getting there.
[24:42.440 -> 24:49.680] And he just crashed. No, I think he was playing the senior strategy from Michael and what's
[24:49.680 -> 24:51.720] tracking trickle down now, right?
[24:51.720 -> 24:55.600] Cause it's like once you get into Q3, you crash so that there's red flags,
[24:55.600 -> 24:58.480] no more qualifying and then your positions are locked in.
[24:58.840 -> 25:03.120] What someone didn't tell him is like, once you're in Q3, you can't go back to Q2.
[25:03.120 -> 25:04.280] I think he doesn't know that.
[25:03.120 -> 25:04.320] him is like, once you're in Q3, you can't go back to Q2. I think he doesn't know that.
[25:09.160 -> 25:10.400] Anyway, so he crashes.
[25:10.440 -> 25:10.760] Okay.
[25:10.800 -> 25:11.400] That's fine.
[25:11.640 -> 25:16.800] Anyways, he starts P10, seven people retire and still he ends up outside points.
[25:17.440 -> 25:18.080] Yeah.
[25:19.000 -> 25:22.480] But he did, he did stay in the points for like a very long time.
[25:22.480 -> 25:25.520] He was like P9 and P10 for a very long time.
[25:25.520 -> 25:29.440] And then post race restart, I think he dropped down.
[25:30.280 -> 25:32.320] Yeah, I would have loved to see him up there, man.
[25:32.320 -> 25:35.000] Like finally, he would have gotten some points for his Williams.
[25:35.800 -> 25:39.600] Yeah, I was hoping for that, like at least some points for him.
[25:39.600 -> 25:43.360] But alas, yeah, well, at least Mick got it.
[25:43.360 -> 25:45.000] So yeah, at least some points for Magnus. And Magnus and what I think P10. Yeah, Magn, at least Mick got it. So yeah, at least some silver.
[25:45.000 -> 25:48.600] Magnus and what I think P10. Yeah, Magnus and P10.
[25:48.600 -> 25:52.280] P10. Mick P8. Good five points for Haas there.
[25:53.040 -> 25:56.240] Goodenstein is probably going to be off the moon at this point.
[25:57.760 -> 25:59.840] A wholesome moment too, right? Like in the paddock.
[26:00.360 -> 26:04.520] I haven't seen, but you were telling me Vettel and Mick did an interview together.
[26:13.800 -> 26:27.000] Yes. It seemed like a lot of dads were having proud moments like in the post race. Because like we of course saw Paris's dad kissing Hamilton's dad and then we also saw of course Of course, Vettel is like an uncle or a mentor to Mick.
[26:27.000 -> 26:30.720] So he was kind of filling in for the dad's role.
[26:30.720 -> 26:32.720] He was so happy.
[26:32.720 -> 26:38.720] He was basically saying during the interview that I was watching the race like right behind them because he was at like P9.
[26:38.720 -> 26:40.520] He finished right behind him.
[26:40.520 -> 26:42.520] Yeah, right. He finished right behind him.
[26:42.520 -> 26:45.200] So he's like, I was cheering for Mick while they were driving.
[26:46.200 -> 26:50.520] Towards the end. And then he says that I was hoping that I also get into it somehow.
[26:51.160 -> 26:55.520] Into that fight. Super wholesome moment there. Super wholesome moment there.
[26:56.720 -> 26:58.720] Yeah, I hope this streak continues.
[26:59.440 -> 27:05.000] Vettel and Mick, the family bond grows and make keep getting points.
[27:05.960 -> 27:07.460] Who doesn't want to see that?
[27:09.000 -> 27:12.140] Onto some good battle and points.
[27:13.320 -> 27:17.640] You know, I'm gonna talk about Hamilton here.
[27:17.640 -> 27:18.480] Yeah.
[27:19.800 -> 27:21.080] A pure masterclass.
[27:21.080 -> 27:23.660] The car I don't think is still there.
[27:30.720 -> 27:45.520] Sure, again, like a bunch of factors are to play in for Max to drop, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But the juice that Hamilton extracted from the tires, the car yesterday is just pure masterclass. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Definitely.
[27:48.880 -> 27:49.000] I think he was like, again, this was one of his like, you know,
[27:51.880 -> 27:52.240] beast mode performances where he just, you know,
[27:55.840 -> 27:56.640] becomes one with the car and kind of, uh,
[28:00.880 -> 28:00.920] man, he was on another level yesterday. Like even, even his first stint, right?
[28:07.200 -> 28:07.400] Like I think he was on the longest stint the mediums. He maintained his position very well.
[28:08.240 -> 28:08.640] Yeah.
[28:12.960 -> 28:16.840] I think this pit stop was the only thing that went wrong for him. Like not exactly wrong, but that he kind of
[28:18.640 -> 28:23.000] didn't luck out with it in the sense that the timing was a little bad.
[28:23.480 -> 28:24.640] If he wouldn't had,
[28:25.920 -> 28:30.800] if he would have stayed out somehow in his older tires with a safety car and all he could have just won the race that's it
[28:30.800 -> 28:37.920] like I and I feel like I so I was telling a friend of mine yesterday that I feel like he would have
[28:37.920 -> 28:45.520] won because yesterday with the way Ferrari shenanigans were going, Perez had already dropped down the whole pack out of the points.
[28:45.520 -> 28:54.720] I saw Ferrari fighting and then AWS showing that Ham is in the pit, you know, undercutting window.
[28:54.720 -> 28:57.320] I'm like, this guy is going to pull a miracle.
[28:57.320 -> 29:01.480] It's not even going to be funnily surprising because he's done that in the past.
[29:01.480 -> 29:03.560] Like it's happened.
[29:03.560 -> 29:06.040] And I was like this
[29:06.040 -> 29:10.860] is P1 God knows whatever happens after that who know what nobody cares if he
[29:10.860 -> 29:15.100] wins P1 and in my head I'm already imagining someone's gonna give him the
[29:15.100 -> 29:20.520] flag he's gonna run in the audience he's gonna do his whole 29 yard celebration
[29:20.520 -> 29:32.560] but nonetheless nonetheless post safety car restart, some brilliant battling, some brilliant battling between Perez, Leclerc and Hamilton.
[29:32.560 -> 29:49.120] All the more seeing like Leclerc runs wide, Perez is on the curbs and Hamilton taking that perfect opportunity and overtakes both of them only to be caught. Oh man that was brilliant that was my favorite moment of the race I did not see that coming I was seeing Perez and
[29:49.120 -> 29:54.360] Charles fighting and suddenly I see like Hamilton coming back. Exactly. Where did he come from?
[29:54.360 -> 30:00.040] Exactly right nobody had expected that even the commentators were like oh my
[30:00.040 -> 30:02.680] god where did he come from he's overtaking both of them.
[30:02.680 -> 30:07.960] Sure he later got overtaken by both of them, but that was just class.
[30:07.960 -> 30:12.400] That shows, you know, what, what opportune, how opportune Hamilton is.
[30:12.880 -> 30:17.880] Right. Yeah. And, uh, and I think overall the racing in this,
[30:18.520 -> 30:20.160] this particular race was insane.
[30:20.160 -> 30:24.800] I think this was the closest racing and the longest sustained racing that we
[30:24.800 -> 30:27.280] have seen, uh, in seen in a lap across lap.
[30:28.160 -> 30:33.200] And with many people in there, like there were so many battles going on. It's not just these three.
[30:34.640 -> 30:40.240] It was awesome. I'm glad that the new regulations are working as expected.
[30:41.440 -> 30:46.640] I'm glad that we are seeing this close racing and even forget these three guys battling.
[30:46.640 -> 30:52.440] If you saw like there was Alonso and Lando just behind them who are basically waiting
[30:52.440 -> 30:56.480] for somebody to fuck up there so that they can pick up the pieces.
[30:56.480 -> 31:00.400] They knew that they can't like probably go into the battle and you know, challenge them,
[31:00.400 -> 31:04.800] but they knew that they can be just behind them at the same time.
[31:04.800 -> 31:05.000] It was really fun to watch. time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[31:05.000 -> 31:06.000] It was really fun to watch.
[31:06.000 -> 31:10.000] True, true, true, true.
[31:10.000 -> 31:16.000] Silverstone's gotten this now unique place where it's become an entertaining weekend, right?
[31:16.000 -> 31:24.000] Like it's last year with the whole Max shunting, this year with like the Jao accident and the way these things have turned out.
[31:24.000 -> 31:30.320] That's true. The Jiao accident and the way these things have turned out. Max dropping the pack right like became such an interesting race for Ocon.
[31:30.320 -> 31:38.320] Because then my thought process there was Ocon's only agenda today is outgrow his PTSD with Max.
[31:38.320 -> 31:42.320] He didn't though. He just had to park his car.
[31:42.320 -> 31:47.040] No, but only after he overtook him. So for folks, the context here is
[31:47.240 -> 31:49.940] 2017 or 18, I want to say,
[31:50.300 -> 31:52.740] Okon is driving for BWT.
[31:52.840 -> 31:54.440] BWT? Yeah, yeah.
[31:54.440 -> 31:56.200] I think it was a racing point.
[31:56.940 -> 31:59.140] Brazilian Grand Prix Interlagos
[31:59.700 -> 32:02.640] down into... down after turn 1 into turn 2.
[32:03.040 -> 32:09.680] Okon tries to unlap himself with Max. Max is about to win the race. This is the final few laps.
[32:09.680 -> 32:19.200] Yeah, yeah. They crash. Max's race is ruined. And they get into a physical fight. So that's the context there.
[32:19.680 -> 32:29.100] In this race, if you go back and go back and see the highlights again or see the race replay again right if you can and what you'll see is what you'll see is Ocon has these
[32:29.560 -> 32:43.280] multiple opportunities to overtake Max but he doesn't. He waits for him being in the DRS either at the hangar straight or the main straight and then goes for it and once he's done he's like okay I'm done with my life.
[32:43.620 -> 32:45.880] I'm done. I'm good. Let's just park it.
[32:45.880 -> 32:48.360] And he doesn't even park it like at a good place.
[32:48.360 -> 32:53.240] Like I share yellow flag safety car. I don't care. I'm just parking my car.
[32:53.920 -> 32:57.680] Hydraulic issues to be fair is what made him park.
[32:57.680 -> 33:01.960] But God, yeah, man.
[33:01.960 -> 33:09.000] But I'm glad we got that safety car because we got this awesome podium, which we otherwise wouldn't have gotten.
[33:09.000 -> 33:10.000] Yeah, true.
[33:10.000 -> 33:16.000] Yeah, it was. And the last few laps were just something, man. I'm still buzzing from it.
[33:16.000 -> 33:26.920] Every time I go to Reddit or even on Twitter, those clips pop up in front of me always. And I'm like, oh, man, I want to watch this race again.
[33:26.960 -> 33:30.760] I wish I could watch it again without just wipe my memory off and watch it again.
[33:30.800 -> 33:33.960] My first thought was, you know, serendipity for Hamilton.
[33:34.920 -> 33:38.480] Because it's happened like he's he's somewhere, nowhere.
[33:38.480 -> 33:40.560] And then something like a red flag or something happens
[33:40.560 -> 33:43.080] and you suddenly just bounce back, bounces back.
[33:43.760 -> 33:49.880] But but what I realized right after a lap or two of the restart was actually this is
[33:49.880 -> 33:56.840] serendipity for Perez because he would not have been able to make it all the
[33:56.840 -> 34:25.700] way up if not the safety car. Totally, totally, totally. And I think in general, yesterday we saw some really good performances by a lot of different people like Perez, of course, was one of them. Hamilton was forming another train. P5 finish. P5 finish. P5, right? Yeah.
[34:25.700 -> 34:26.700] P5.
[34:26.700 -> 34:27.700] Right behind Leclerc.
[34:27.700 -> 34:28.700] Exactly.
[34:28.700 -> 34:34.200] And Alonso has been doing great, man, this season overall.
[34:34.200 -> 34:37.900] I think he, unfortunately, hasn't gotten a lot of good results.
[34:37.900 -> 34:42.860] At the end of the races, he has kind of not lucked out with that.
[34:42.860 -> 34:49.600] But every time he does a great job these days, and he's right there. I mean, of course, like we saw him on the front row.
[34:49.600 -> 34:53.920] Yeah. Last race, which was super surprising.
[34:55.200 -> 35:02.960] But let's see what he can do this. I want to give a call out to the account Monsieur Underscore Vraj.
[35:07.240 -> 35:12.160] monsieur underscore Vraj because he he DM'd us saying that there will be another train that gets formed at Silverstone and I I promised him like if
[35:12.160 -> 35:16.360] we do see a train which we did with Alonzo for a few laps I will give him a
[35:16.360 -> 35:27.960] call out so there you go. Overall yeah man Alonzo has been showing that he's now battling for that oldest man racing title.
[35:28.640 -> 35:30.480] And he still got it. He still got it.
[35:30.520 -> 35:32.760] He still got it, man. Yeah, yeah. For sure.
[35:33.880 -> 35:38.240] I mean, there were questions about Kimi, but I don't think the same questions are with Alonzo at all.
[35:38.240 -> 35:40.720] Because he's invested. I think like at this point, he's invested.
[35:41.560 -> 35:49.800] One thing I want to call out, which I found was my personal favorite moment of the whole race yesterday was,
[35:49.800 -> 35:58.240] they got a marshal up on the podium to hand out the trophy yesterday, which I feel like was superb.
[35:58.240 -> 36:12.940] Many a times, the work that these marshals do and especially with Grosjean's's fire crash, with Zhao's crash yesterday and multiple similar incidents, it is at times underappreciated with a wider
[36:12.940 -> 36:19.820] audience and them being up there handing out P2 trophy to Perez, superb gesture, superb,
[36:19.820 -> 36:25.120] brilliant. I hope this continues. The inclusiveness of, you know, these minor people,
[36:26.440 -> 36:30.560] is, isn't going, going unknown. So just, just super brilliant there.
[36:31.600 -> 36:41.160] Yep. Yep. I'm glad to see that. I hope that they, they should do this actually every race, very honestly, they should at least get one Marshall onto the podium or something like that, I think.
[36:41.240 -> 36:43.440] Yeah. Yeah, totally, totally, totally.
[36:43.480 -> 36:45.540] or something like that I think. Yeah, yeah, totally, totally, totally.
[36:53.820 -> 36:54.680] All in all, a superb race. We did learn a few things yesterday which we haven't spoken but just for you folks.
[37:04.680 -> 37:09.400] A, if under a red flag, your car gets mechanical assistance, you do not get to start the race after the red flag. We saw this with Russell's car. Russell kept complaining that his car is fine,
[37:09.400 -> 37:13.400] but he stopped and ran and he did tell the marshals that his car is fine.
[37:13.400 -> 37:17.000] He doesn't need any assistance, but by the time he got back from Xiao,
[37:17.000 -> 37:19.600] he said his car was already being strapped on.
[37:19.600 -> 37:22.600] And once you receive mechanical assistance, you can't.
[37:22.600 -> 37:25.420] The other thing at least I learnt yesterday was,
[37:25.460 -> 37:31.180] there are safety car lines going into the first few turns.
[37:31.220 -> 37:34.860] There's two on Silverstone at least as of yesterday is what I learnt.
[37:34.900 -> 37:40.820] All car need to pass the second safety car line before a red flag is called out
[37:40.860 -> 37:48.000] to adhere to the race conditions that have stayed and yesterday because not all cars had
[37:48.000 -> 37:55.120] passed the the second safety car line before the red flag was called out the race restart was back
[37:55.120 -> 38:02.480] to the original qualifying grid that stood so there you go you get some trivia you get some
[38:02.480 -> 38:06.000] facts and you get some banter you You are ready for fan fiction.
[38:06.000 -> 38:09.600] Sarang, any parting thoughts before we close this?
[38:09.600 -> 38:18.200] Oh man, I don't know. It feels to me like this race has set the expectations so high that we are going to be a little disappointed in the following races.
[38:18.200 -> 38:25.920] Yeah, you wouldn't want to be that guy who follows something epic. True. Yeah, right.
[38:25.920 -> 38:26.920] Exactly.
[38:26.920 -> 38:33.200] Though I hope that that's not the case and we keep getting these exciting races.
[38:33.200 -> 38:40.440] And I hope again that please Ferrari kind of, you know, they are able to manage their
[38:40.440 -> 38:45.280] shit and get back into the game because it seems like Red Bull is just running away with it.
[38:45.280 -> 38:46.800] And I hope that doesn't happen.
[38:46.800 -> 38:49.000] Yeah. So yeah, that's fair.
[38:50.480 -> 38:55.600] All in all, a brilliant weekend, some brilliant safety work that we saw with the cars,
[38:55.600 -> 38:57.280] Xiao walking scatch free.
[38:57.960 -> 39:03.360] Funnily enough, Ghazali was posting from the hospital, whereas Xiao was standing in the pit lane.
[39:03.360 -> 39:05.600] So that was fascinating.
[39:06.480 -> 39:13.840] Craig Scarborough has an amazing Twitter feed of how these cars
[39:14.480 -> 39:18.960] are designed to save the cockpit and what actually went down with Zhao's incident.
[39:19.240 -> 39:23.200] We'll be sure to sort of tag it in our show notes for you to go
[39:23.200 -> 39:28.400] and check that feed out on his Twitter.
[39:28.400 -> 39:36.640] I again want to repeat that tomorrow is a brilliant special PADDOC episode that's dropping
