[00:00.000 -> 00:04.960] If they were to get onto the full wets in these situations, which spray three times as much as the inters,
[00:05.280 -> 00:09.440] it disperses 85 liters per second at top speed.
[00:10.560 -> 00:13.200] That's a mental number if that's true. Yeah.
[00:14.320 -> 00:20.320] I always just think about myself like when I hear measurements like that, I'm like, could I drink that? How much?
[00:21.680 -> 00:36.200] Then I really think like, okay, it's a lot.
[00:39.800 -> 00:40.680] Hello and welcome back to F1 Fan Fiction.
[00:45.000 -> 00:45.360] This weekend was, uh, let's just say entertaining.
[00:47.200 -> 00:48.040] Let's just say entertaining. Controversial.
[00:48.040 -> 00:48.860] Controversial.
[00:48.860 -> 00:49.700] No, entertaining.
[00:49.700 -> 00:50.540] No.
[00:50.540 -> 00:55.080] But before we dive in, for those on audio,
[00:55.080 -> 00:59.000] we have with us a third host for you today.
[00:59.000 -> 01:00.280] We are your usual hosts.
[01:00.280 -> 01:01.280] I'm Akash.
[01:01.280 -> 01:02.320] And I'm Sarang.
[01:02.320 -> 01:04.520] And off to you, third host, take it away.
[01:04.520 -> 01:07.000] My name is Kieran Brodnick. I'm an Australian TikToker.
[01:07.000 -> 01:12.000] And my main sort of video content I do is F1 stuff.
[01:12.000 -> 01:17.000] And as the guys talked about before, I have a massive backyard.
[01:17.000 -> 01:20.000] So I have a lot of room to play with F1 videos.
[01:20.000 -> 01:24.000] No windows, please. No windows, please.
[01:24.000 -> 01:32.000] No windows please. No windows please. No, but this week, yeah, very exciting week and I'm very keen to chat to the lads about it. Looking forward to it.
[01:32.000 -> 01:34.000] Yeah, welcome to the show, Kiryan.
[01:34.000 -> 01:42.000] Folks, before we get in, go check out Kiryan also on Instagram. He's so close to making that 100k mark.
[01:42.000 -> 01:45.200] You know, just help him reach that milestone.
[01:45.200 -> 01:46.200] Go do that.
[01:46.200 -> 01:47.200] It's a bit sad.
[01:47.200 -> 01:51.200] I actually did tip over 100k but then got lazy and now I'm back there.
[01:51.200 -> 01:53.200] I have to draw it back up.
[01:53.200 -> 01:55.200] No, no, no, no.
[01:55.200 -> 01:56.200] Folks, you heard him.
[01:56.200 -> 01:59.200] Let's make this happen for everyone listening to the show right now.
[01:59.200 -> 02:00.200] We'll check that.
[02:00.200 -> 02:04.200] Alright, Kirin, why don't you kick us off?
[02:04.200 -> 02:06.640] Raw thoughts on what the weekend was.
[02:06.640 -> 02:09.080] Well, the weekend, honestly, yeah.
[02:09.080 -> 02:13.240] Probably, I'd say it was my second favourite race of the season, to be honest.
[02:13.240 -> 02:15.600] Britain was like 100% my favourite.
[02:15.600 -> 02:21.880] But yeah, this one was, it was a long wait for something like very exciting.
[02:21.880 -> 02:24.320] It was like a lot going on.
[02:24.320 -> 02:29.320] And I swear every single lap had incredible battles and stuff
[02:29.320 -> 02:32.040] so there was a lot to unpack.
[02:32.040 -> 02:37.920] Actually I'd had two nights in a row of not getting eight hours sleep.
[02:37.920 -> 02:42.360] Two nights before I do like a maths program with my girlfriend and one other, we like
[02:42.360 -> 02:47.800] teach maths to kids doing their high school certificate and didn't get eight hours
[02:47.800 -> 02:48.800] for that.
[02:48.800 -> 02:52.280] And then I had my girlfriend's sister's 30th birthday.
[02:52.280 -> 02:55.440] So that went really late, didn't get eight hours.
[02:55.440 -> 03:01.920] So then for the F1, for the actual race, I was just, I was dead and waiting for it to
[03:01.920 -> 03:02.920] start.
[03:02.920 -> 03:05.760] I was just like trying to stay awake, trying so hard.
[03:05.760 -> 03:10.600] And I was actually like on the train for the pretty much the whole red flag.
[03:10.600 -> 03:15.480] So, I was actually praying for them to kind of not start while I was on the train, there's
[03:15.480 -> 03:17.480] really bad reception.
[03:17.480 -> 03:21.440] And by the time it actually got started, I was at home on the couch, but then like as
[03:21.440 -> 03:25.640] soon as you're horizontal on the couch, pretty much instantly fall asleep.
[03:25.640 -> 03:28.720] So yeah, I was lucky we had a really good race.
[03:28.720 -> 03:30.720] So a lot to unpack.
[03:30.720 -> 03:33.000] Yeah, of course.
[03:33.000 -> 03:36.880] And the funny thing is this was probably the shortest race of the season, right?
[03:36.880 -> 03:39.880] And it, there's so much to talk about it.
[03:39.880 -> 03:41.400] That's what like surprises me.
[03:41.400 -> 03:45.280] Like the funny thing is, I think majority of the time throughout the race we
[03:45.280 -> 03:49.680] were just sitting around waiting for the rain to go away. You know like the Pablo Escobar
[03:49.680 -> 03:59.280] meme that goes on all around. But man the wait was worth it. It was amazing. 45 minute
[03:59.280 -> 04:06.720] sprint everybody was completely battling it out. And the rain made it awesome, just awesome.
[04:06.720 -> 04:12.080] Yeah, like I think for someone starting to watch F1 this year, not that like I've had a couple
[04:12.080 -> 04:18.720] years now, but I have a mate that's just started watching it this year. And it's sort of just not
[04:18.720 -> 04:23.680] been the year for someone trying to get into it. I think it's like, we sort of love getting together
[04:23.680 -> 04:29.120] and we have some traditions like we'll go out for dinner and then we'll have a spa and we'll get food and
[04:30.160 -> 04:34.320] ice cream and stuff and really make a big deal out of it. But every time we get to the race,
[04:34.320 -> 04:39.600] he's kind of like, oh, like everyone gets away safe from the start and he's sort of like, damn.
[04:39.600 -> 04:46.240] But yeah, this week was the first week we weren't actually together watching it and it was actually like quite unbelievable.
[04:46.240 -> 04:47.240] So, yeah.
[04:47.240 -> 04:54.240] Yeah, I think that in terms of the battles between the races this weekend was probably the best.
[04:54.240 -> 04:55.240] Yeah, I guess so.
[04:55.240 -> 04:56.240] That's the mantra probably.
[04:56.240 -> 05:06.600] Like, if we want like an entertaining, near-death experience, Kiran and his friends don't need to get together to watch a race.
[05:10.600 -> 05:10.620] I actually genuinely, even if a race is like, you'd say more boring,
[05:15.120 -> 05:15.280] I love watching it. It's more just for someone that has like a,
[05:17.600 -> 05:17.960] not a very good attention span, I would say,
[05:21.120 -> 05:21.560] or maybe needs a small stimulation. Um, yeah.
[05:27.680 -> 05:30.320] Hasn't been overly the best, but yeah. yeah, I think this weekend definitely had it. You know what, let's dive right into it.
[05:30.320 -> 05:38.560] I think FIA has the record of, you know, stirring up controversy every single time Max Verstappen wins the championship.
[05:38.560 -> 05:42.960] So, you know, let's address the elephant in the room first.
[05:42.960 -> 05:46.500] So true. And especially like, happened twice I think, right?
[05:46.500 -> 05:52.200] Like yesterday, I mean, at Japanese, I didn't mean like the last year, but like at Japanese happened twice.
[05:52.200 -> 05:59.700] Once when he was called back saying that, hey, now that Charles has gotten five seconds penalty, congratulations, you are the champion.
[05:59.700 -> 06:04.600] And he was still confused then. And then when they go to the cool down, they're like, he's a champion, no?
[06:04.600 -> 06:05.520] Wait, I am, no?
[06:05.520 -> 06:09.600] Such an amazing confusing moment of seeing Max.
[06:09.600 -> 06:10.760] Have I got to have...
[06:10.760 -> 06:13.520] Yeah, I think part of it was the delivery.
[06:13.520 -> 06:18.000] Like, it was just given to him like, well, champion.
[06:18.000 -> 06:22.080] Like, they didn't even just like, maybe they should have just left it.
[06:22.080 -> 06:24.960] And then like, really made a big deal about it.
[06:24.960 -> 06:25.000] I don't think they really executed that very well. But I mean, it had a bit of charm, I guess. Maybe they should have just left it and then like really made a big deal about it.
[06:25.000 -> 06:29.000] I don't think they really executed that very well, but I mean, it had a bit of charm, I guess.
[06:29.000 -> 06:36.000] And it was pretty funny seeing Max sit down in that world champion chair and everybody was like, I'm lonely.
[06:36.000 -> 06:41.000] I think that was the loneliest minute of his life probably because he was so awkward there.
[06:41.000 -> 06:46.000] Yeah, he's just sitting there thinking like, fuck, am I really the champion?
[06:46.000 -> 06:52.400] Did they end up doing anything? Because I ended up fast forwarding because nothing was happening.
[06:52.400 -> 06:54.400] He was just sad then.
[06:54.400 -> 06:59.360] Yeah, okay. Because he was like waiting outside the principal's office waiting to be called in or something like that.
[06:59.360 -> 07:10.640] Yeah, it was weird. There was a massive punch show and like interview with Jensen Bunn and stuff but yeah, they didn't really do too much and it's funny seeing the way the team
[07:10.640 -> 07:15.920] celebrates like how when they get them to like all cheer together they're just all standing
[07:15.920 -> 07:20.400] there in silence and they're like three, two, one and then they all scream. It's pretty funny.
[07:22.000 -> 07:27.600] Yeah, true. I think the root of this though was that like it was very unclear till the very
[07:27.600 -> 07:32.440] end as to what is going to happen like what what point structures are going to be awarded
[07:32.440 -> 07:37.280] because all along what the commentators were talking about is that like there were these
[07:37.280 -> 07:42.880] different buckets that they had for when the race finishes 0 to 25 percent 25 to 50 blah
[07:42.880 -> 07:46.320] blah blah and everything but it turns out those rules
[07:46.320 -> 07:51.440] were only applicable for the cases where the race does not finish under a checkered flag.
[07:52.640 -> 07:57.680] And here it did end under checkered flag because of the 3-hour limit that is imposed.
[07:58.240 -> 08:09.760] So it's weird though because the way they have structured the rules right now, it sounds as if, if the race starts like 10 minutes before the three hour limit and
[08:09.760 -> 08:13.880] the leader of the race does two laps without a safety car,
[08:14.320 -> 08:18.520] that counts as a full race and all the points are awarded, which doesn't make sense.
[08:19.080 -> 08:23.240] Even if it's like three laps without the safety car,
[08:23.240 -> 08:26.080] because it's technically over two, it's still a full race.
[08:26.600 -> 08:30.760] Yep. Yeah, that's weird. It's such a great area.
[08:31.520 -> 08:33.000] Yeah. It's a very big green. Yeah.
[08:33.560 -> 08:36.000] Yeah. I wouldn't want that job.
[08:38.320 -> 08:39.680] Hang on, hang on. So help me here.
[08:39.700 -> 08:43.160] I've been reading these articles which have been saying like there's this quota
[08:43.160 -> 08:47.240] of zero to 25%, 25 to 50 and then something, something, something.
[08:47.520 -> 08:50.000] That's only when it finishes behind a safety car.
[08:50.240 -> 08:54.760] Right. That, or if it's like completely red flagged and it just cannot restart.
[08:54.800 -> 08:59.480] Then why were Brundle and like Ted like going on and on about the ninth
[08:59.480 -> 09:03.080] position is going to get like one point and it's going to be, dude,
[09:03.120 -> 09:04.320] these guys are so confused.
[09:02.000 -> 09:05.720] I'm going to get like one point and it's going to be... Dude, these guys are so confused in the commentary box.
[09:05.720 -> 09:07.720] Yeah.
[09:07.720 -> 09:09.720] All of that didn't matter.
[09:09.720 -> 09:12.720] God.
[09:12.720 -> 09:15.320] I swear Ted Kravitz as well, different subject.
[09:15.320 -> 09:17.720] But Ted Kravitz is getting more and more cooked every week.
[09:17.720 -> 09:21.720] I swear, like, I see in the pre-race stuff.
[09:21.720 -> 09:23.720] It's just, he's getting more and more crazy.
[09:23.720 -> 09:28.000] Like, the other week he like broke into the press conference room and they kicked
[09:28.000 -> 09:32.920] him out. And he's just like, it's just like every week he's got some opportunity.
[09:37.880 -> 09:42.880] I think, I don't think it should have been given four points to be honest,
[09:43.000 -> 09:45.360] because yeah, like you were
[09:45.360 -> 09:51.400] saying, it's stupid if they just finish the race, but they've done three laps.
[09:51.400 -> 09:53.800] There's no way you can get four points for that.
[09:53.800 -> 09:59.280] It's just the same situation, but 75% or 50% they shouldn't have done that.
[09:59.280 -> 10:00.280] Yeah.
[10:00.280 -> 10:01.280] No, I totally agree.
[10:01.280 -> 10:06.320] But well, at least we got that really awkward Jeff of wax
[10:06.320 -> 10:09.200] out of it. So I'm happy about that.
[10:09.200 -> 10:12.200] That's the main thing.
[10:12.200 -> 10:17.200] Exactly. It's all about the memes, you know, it's all about the memes.
[10:17.200 -> 10:23.080] Yeah, I felt like we Perez and Leclerc at the end, that was such a like multiplayer
[10:23.080 -> 10:31.160] F1 moment where you've just like cut the jacacane and you come on and you just barge Perez all the way.
[10:31.160 -> 10:32.160] That was pretty poor.
[10:32.160 -> 10:37.400] And I can't believe he like, that very last corner, like that happened to him because
[10:37.400 -> 10:44.680] like to hold back Perez for that long and be so calm to just get super flustered at
[10:44.680 -> 10:46.000] the last corner and lock up.
[10:46.000 -> 10:47.520] It's pretty alarming.
[10:47.520 -> 10:52.240] The good thing was like, Perez was super chill during the whole moment.
[10:52.240 -> 10:55.920] Like he came onto the radio one time and he was like, wait, are you guys sleeping?
[10:55.920 -> 10:57.200] Are you not seeing what's happening?
[10:57.200 -> 11:03.520] And he was super chill during the whole catch up and like trying to put pressure on to Luckluck more.
[11:03.520 -> 11:04.720] Yeah, I do think that sometimes.
[11:04.720 -> 11:08.600] Like I'm under a blanket on my lounge just laying down like nearly sleeping and
[11:09.240 -> 11:15.880] Perez is like in a 70 degree cockpit like shaking in the car and like aggressively chasing Lakhlak.
[11:15.880 -> 11:17.880] And he's just like, are you guys sleeping?
[11:23.160 -> 11:30.300] Yeah, but I saw this thing where I think I've read it on Twitter, one of those, today morning, that today's the day when
[11:30.900 -> 11:37.400] Turkey, last year, Botaz won and RBR were 2-3 with Max and Perez.
[11:38.100 -> 11:44.100] And that race took me back to like this amazing fighting moment that Perez had on Hamilton.
[11:44.100 -> 11:45.600] He was putting that pressure on. That
[11:45.600 -> 11:52.400] was a Czech-Ham fight. And this weekend was a repeat of that. It was, again, Max winning
[11:52.400 -> 11:56.880] because Perez was battling off Leclerc, which made Leclerc do the mistake.
[11:58.880 -> 11:59.440] That's true.
[11:59.440 -> 12:04.480] I actually have a lot of confidence in Perez. I reckon he's got some big years coming up. He's
[12:04.320 -> 12:08.320] He's got a lot of confidence in Perez. I reckon he's got some big years coming up. He's honestly one of the most impressive drivers.
[12:08.320 -> 12:11.760] And I think he had moments early on in the year where it was like,
[12:11.760 -> 12:13.280] this guy can definitely do it.
[12:13.280 -> 12:16.000] But yeah, Max just ran away.
[12:16.000 -> 12:18.800] But I really think he can do it in the next few years.
[12:18.800 -> 12:20.720] If he stays at Red Bull, that is.
[12:20.720 -> 12:22.560] That's true. Definitely.
[12:22.560 -> 12:26.440] Like on Perez too, he overtook Max by one point.
[12:26.440 -> 12:29.680] Sorry. He overtook Laclert by one point, I think.
[12:29.680 -> 12:32.680] He is second in WDC at this point, right?
[12:32.680 -> 12:34.840] Yeah. And that's what I think.
[12:34.840 -> 12:37.880] That's the interesting part still in this season.
[12:37.880 -> 12:40.680] Who gets the P2 in the championship?
[12:40.680 -> 12:44.960] Because it would be a shame if Laclert can't even get that.
[12:44.960 -> 12:49.120] Mateo said, there is no reason why they can't win the remaining races.
[12:49.120 -> 12:51.040] So we don't know what's going to happen.
[12:51.040 -> 12:51.520] That's true.
[12:53.200 -> 12:56.400] It's a bit of a shame because I remember, I think it was under,
[12:57.520 -> 13:02.720] it was after the Australian Grand Prix or something where they said no one has ever
[13:02.720 -> 13:06.560] stuffed up a world championship being this far ahead at this point.
[13:06.560 -> 13:09.360] And it was at that exact moment where he stuffed it up.
[13:13.680 -> 13:14.400] It's so bad.
[13:16.000 -> 13:18.400] I think good years for him coming ahead as well.
[13:19.600 -> 13:21.760] I'm really looking forward to next year and the year after.
[13:21.760 -> 13:23.360] But let me ask you this, Kieran.
[13:23.360 -> 13:24.800] Like, because you say that.
[13:24.800 -> 13:26.000] Do you think…
[13:26.000 -> 13:28.400] And we've discussed this on one of the episodes.
[13:28.400 -> 13:32.960] Do you think Leclerc has what it takes to be a world driving champion?
[13:32.960 -> 13:36.080] Oh, that is actually a really good question.
[13:36.080 -> 13:38.560] I think he has like…
[13:38.560 -> 13:40.000] I think he does.
[13:40.000 -> 13:47.880] I think this year is good in a sense that I think it's going to show him what he needs,
[13:47.880 -> 13:50.960] like the gap of where he needs to be and where he's at.
[13:50.960 -> 13:55.320] Because the mistakes he made this year cost him the world championship.
[13:55.320 -> 14:00.600] And I think you can tell how much he learned from them, like every little mistake, like
[14:00.600 -> 14:09.440] the one where he was just, he crashed and he was like screaming into the mic. Like you can tell that he is so close, but it's just like these little errors or
[14:10.000 -> 14:13.520] even just like team errors with Ferrari, which is a whole different thing. But
[14:14.160 -> 14:18.800] I think, I really think he can, he's just got to sort out those problems.
[14:18.800 -> 14:19.440] Well said.
[14:19.440 -> 14:24.960] Well said, yeah. I hope, I really hope that like Ferrari improves next year, man, like for
[14:24.960 -> 14:25.640] like not his sake, our sake, you know, I'm being a hope that like Ferrari improves next year man like for like not his
[14:25.640 -> 14:28.600] sake our sake, you know, I'm being a bit selfish here, but
[14:28.600 -> 14:32.440] I'm gonna start applying to lead strategists
[14:32.440 -> 14:35.440] Like the Japanese fan
[14:35.440 -> 14:38.480] Did you see the Japanese fan?
[14:38.480 -> 14:40.880] Oh, okay. So does this with the guy
[14:40.880 -> 14:41.880] I saw the FY
[14:41.880 -> 14:42.880] Yeah
[14:42.880 -> 14:43.880] Cheeky
[14:43.880 -> 14:45.200] He was so still in the front with the guy yeah
[14:49.200 -> 14:51.120] cheeky he was so still in the front oh i thought it was real
[14:55.760 -> 14:57.120] and he had like proper swagger with it like after showing it up you know he kept it down he's like he's sitting like this
[14:59.760 -> 15:00.480] so cheeky
[15:03.280 -> 15:10.800] oh well uh well since we're talking about cheeky let's talk about FIA with their truck fiasco.
[15:10.800 -> 15:11.800] The truck?
[15:11.800 -> 15:12.800] Yeah, man.
[15:12.800 -> 15:14.800] What the hell was going on?
[15:14.800 -> 15:17.440] Honestly, yeah, that bit did wake me up a bit.
[15:17.440 -> 15:24.120] I was like dozing and then I saw a tractor on the track and I just instantly woke up.
[15:24.120 -> 15:26.160] I wasn't honestly too sure what happened there,
[15:26.160 -> 15:31.600] it just happened out of nowhere and everyone was angry but I'm actually just not quite sure why,
[15:32.640 -> 15:40.880] like why was that even there? It's all weird. So let's go back a little. This is in 2014 where
[15:41.600 -> 15:48.320] Jules Bianchi had a big accident in Suzuka that was a very similar situation where
[15:48.320 -> 15:53.120] it was raining and I don't recall whose car it was but somebody had crashed out and
[15:53.120 -> 15:59.040] basically this tractor was out there on the runoff area trying to recover the other person's car
[15:59.040 -> 16:08.320] and Jules lost his balance and he spun out and he crashed into the tractor and basically he had sustained
[16:08.320 -> 16:13.040] life injuries and basically he just fought for it for a couple of months but then he expired
[16:13.040 -> 16:19.360] after that. So that thing was a very big controversy back then, of course, because
[16:19.360 -> 16:26.720] it didn't make sense why was the tractor out recovering vehicles when you know all the cars were not
[16:26.720 -> 16:33.120] bunched up by the safety car and the same thing happened this time again basically with Gasly where
[16:33.120 -> 16:38.640] he had to pit because of the you know awesome gift that science gave him for the Rolex banner
[16:39.200 -> 16:51.000] and so he had to pit because of that and his car got separated from the rest of the track and then he was on new tires as well which were cold and it was of course raining like crazy.
[16:51.000 -> 16:56.000] So he had to kind of get some heat into his tires to be able to catch up to the safety car and that's again part of the regulation.
[16:56.000 -> 17:01.000] So he has to do it. It's not like he was just speeding for no reason.
[17:01.000 -> 17:05.120] So that's what he was trying to do and he wasn't informed that
[17:05.120 -> 17:10.920] you know there's this tractor on the track exactly and yeah he basically was
[17:10.920 -> 17:15.560] too close to it and we all saw what the visibility was which was almost you
[17:15.560 -> 17:20.280] know nothing so yeah that's what it was all about and he was super pissed off
[17:20.280 -> 17:25.520] because of that and that like after we have already seen somebody lose their life,
[17:25.520 -> 17:31.120] you know, why are we repeating the same mistakes again and again? Yeah, yeah, it's uh, so basically
[17:31.120 -> 17:34.960] what you're saying is that the group, the safety car group got around to the other side of the
[17:34.960 -> 17:40.720] track so the tractor came out quickly and then he was coming out. Exactly, yeah, yeah.
[17:42.320 -> 17:46.840] No, you, honestly, yeah, I don't really know what to say about it.
[17:46.840 -> 17:47.840] It's just stupid.
[17:47.840 -> 17:48.840] I don't know.
[17:48.840 -> 17:55.840] I feel like, I don't know, can you blame the Japanese, like the workers for doing that?
[17:55.840 -> 17:59.400] Because like, should they be more contact between them and the driver?
[17:59.400 -> 18:04.080] Like, you know, the teams and trying to clear the track.
[18:04.080 -> 18:06.280] It's just like, yeah, I don't know.
[18:06.280 -> 18:09.360] It's not my profession.
[18:09.360 -> 18:11.160] So I don't really know.
[18:11.160 -> 18:11.760] Yeah, I know.
[18:11.760 -> 18:12.800] Yeah, that's true.
[18:12.800 -> 18:13.760] What do you guys think?
[18:14.560 -> 18:19.200] So there's two things, two videos at least that I saw last night.
[18:19.240 -> 18:28.000] One is, I think from the nozzle cam of Science's car,
[18:28.280 -> 18:33.600] where there is this Marshall who's trying to sort of even drag the front end of the car
[18:33.600 -> 18:35.400] while the tractor is trying to push it away.
[18:36.160 -> 18:37.360] And he's on the track.
[18:37.360 -> 18:41.800] And that's the moment when like the Alpha Tauri is passing him.
[18:42.680 -> 18:48.300] That itself is dual life threatening, because if they would have run into the whole situation,
[18:48.300 -> 18:54.800] Ghazali and Marshall would have flung. Okay, that's one. And then the other is yesterday,
[18:54.800 -> 19:08.500] from a spectator who's captured from that angle, where we can see like, okay, everyone's going slow behind the safety car. And then we can see, and I'm probably missing or saying the names wrong,
[19:08.500 -> 19:12.500] but I think like Vettel and a bunch of other folks who are towards the rear of the pack,
[19:12.500 -> 19:14.200] but distant from the safety car,
[19:14.500 -> 19:19.000] were also trying to punch in that Delta to sort of get with the pack. Right?
[19:19.000 -> 19:21.800] So they were also going above that speed limit for sure.
[19:22.400 -> 19:26.920] It's just that Gasly got singled out and then he came back and he was trying to put
[19:26.920 -> 19:29.560] blame or trying to obviously call out.
[19:29.600 -> 19:30.800] And rightfully so.
[19:30.880 -> 19:31.400] Rightfully so.
[19:31.400 -> 19:36.760] Now that I think about it, I think nothing should be on the track until all the cars
[19:36.760 -> 19:38.280] are bunched. Like that's the obvious thing.
[19:38.280 -> 19:41.480] Like why would you even let anything out early?
[19:41.480 -> 19:46.720] It takes like, what, not even a minute to pass a bunch of them.
[19:46.720 -> 19:51.360] Even if one pits, you need to be aware that that one's pitting and let it happen.
[19:51.360 -> 19:55.160] And just add another lap or two to the safety car.
[19:55.160 -> 19:57.960] That's pretty obvious now that I think about it.
[19:57.960 -> 20:01.160] Or red flag it immediately.
[20:01.160 -> 20:06.760] And the funniest thing is they red flagged the race, like just seconds after this happened, it's not even, you know,
[20:06.840 -> 20:09.720] so it's very weird. Like the whole thing that went down.
[20:11.920 -> 20:14.320] There's this whole other situation too,
[20:14.400 -> 20:18.840] from that video that we can see is nobody came to help
[20:18.880 -> 20:22.560] science get out of the car for at least a good minute or so.
[20:22.560 -> 20:29.360] And like he was the only one getting out and then walking back to a safety area and stuff. I feel like it's a whole lingering
[20:29.360 -> 20:33.560] ghost of Tsushima thing where like there is some lingering ghost trying to
[20:33.560 -> 20:38.920] take life of something else too still on the track after you. It's just too sad. I
[20:38.920 -> 21:08.000] tried to make a joke out of this but it's sad's it's sad yeah I hope like they fix this because things like this shouldn't happen.
[21:08.000 -> 21:13.000] Especially in today's day and age where communication is the easiest thing.
[21:13.000 -> 21:18.000] Look over here, the three people sitting from three different places on the earth talking to each other.
[21:18.000 -> 21:30.080] Communication should be an issue where, you know, I don't get it it's stupid. I think the thing is though that even like at the highest level like people are still
[21:30.080 -> 21:36.400] stupid you know like even like we at least think that like it's the higher level where
[21:36.400 -> 21:40.880] everyone is like on it on it on it and like technology is crazy good but people are dumb
[21:40.880 -> 21:46.040] man like people they think things are sorted out And it's like working in a cafe, you know,
[21:46.040 -> 21:48.280] when you think, talking to your work, man,
[21:48.280 -> 21:50.840] you're trying to, you know,
[21:50.840 -> 21:51.800] you've got heaps of orders
[21:51.800 -> 21:53.480] and you think someone's doing this, but they're not.
[21:53.480 -> 21:55.360] And you just assume that it's getting done.
[21:55.360 -> 21:57.160] People assume things too much,
[21:57.160 -> 21:58.440] and things like this happen.
[21:58.440 -> 22:02.280] So I think, yeah, it's definitely something
[22:02.280 -> 22:03.600] that should be investigated.
[22:03.600 -> 22:07.600] And some people should definitely lose their jobs over it, to be honest.
[22:10.080 -> 22:12.960] I agree. I agree. Especially it's like a life threatening thing.
[22:13.160 -> 22:20.400] And I don't want to move to a next topic without bringing in again the commentators, because what the hell were they doing?
[22:20.760 -> 22:25.680] They were on and on. To me, it sounded like, how the hell do you blame us for being
[22:25.680 -> 22:32.240] wrong? Right? It was that sort of a commentary and every blame was then trying to get pushed
[22:32.240 -> 22:38.200] off on to Ghazalie. And he got a penalty for it too.
[22:38.200 -> 22:49.440] Yeah, I think I was like partially nothing at some point in here, but, um, and being on the train, like I was losing the internet and stuff.
[22:49.880 -> 22:52.320] So I must've missed something through this. But like,
[22:53.280 -> 22:57.200] are you saying that he was like, they were entirely blaming Ghazali for it?
[22:58.520 -> 23:00.360] And he got a pen for it. Oh.
[23:00.960 -> 23:08.960] Yeah. So they were like, you know, yeah, whatever happened was wrong, but, and then, like, dude,
[23:08.960 -> 23:09.960] there is no but here.
[23:09.960 -> 23:10.960] There is no but here.
[23:10.960 -> 23:11.960] Bro, there's a try, though.
[23:11.960 -> 23:12.960] That's right.
[23:12.960 -> 23:13.960] That's sad.
[23:13.960 -> 23:14.960] Yeah.
[23:14.960 -> 23:15.960] Yeah.
[23:15.960 -> 23:28.520] The only good thing out there was JB was, was sensible about it. And he was making the right comments. Like, you know,
[23:28.520 -> 23:32.720] hey, and, and he called out a few things, even during the rest of the race,
[23:32.720 -> 23:36.200] which as a racer being a commentator,
[23:36.640 -> 23:40.120] even Brundle was, as a racer being a commentator,
[23:40.160 -> 23:44.400] you should be able to call such things out. But yeah. Yeah.
[23:44.640 -> 23:45.720] Yeah. Yeah.
[23:45.720 -> 23:50.520] No, I know this is a bit of a different part of the race, but I loved his commentary on
[23:50.520 -> 23:55.280] like Alonzo's pit strategy going on to intermediate.
[23:55.280 -> 24:00.200] And he was like, he should have done it a lap earlier.
[24:00.200 -> 24:04.840] And then you saw like, by the time he got to the end, it was like, he needed a lap,
[24:04.840 -> 24:05.280] one more lap.
[24:07.920 -> 24:12.320] Yeah, no Jensen Button did a very good job I think like everybody loved his commentary and
[24:12.320 -> 24:17.200] I think he was praised a lot even for like what you said about Akash about you know defending
[24:17.200 -> 24:22.320] Ghastly. I think he was one of the only people on the commentary box defending him and even
[24:22.320 -> 24:26.080] rest of the commentary that was awesome. I hope that we see him more.
[24:26.640 -> 24:35.440] Yeah definitely yeah I like having Brandel there too but sometimes yeah what's his name Crofty
[24:35.440 -> 24:42.480] yeah Crofty says dodgy things. I do I love Crofty's voice he gets me in the mood for F1
[24:42.480 -> 24:45.000] but even sometimes Brandel was just like, shut up, Krafty.
[24:45.000 -> 24:48.000] Shut up. You just said the dumbest stuff.
[24:50.000 -> 24:52.000] You've made it too smart. Let me talk.
[24:53.000 -> 25:00.000] He's just in his little sweatbox somewhere with like 20 ponders around, eating Twisted Pepsi.
[25:01.000 -> 25:02.000] So good.
[25:13.440 -> 25:15.040] Before transitioning on, we've got one Australian going out and another coming in. We have to ask you this.
[25:15.040 -> 25:16.080] We have to ask you this.
[25:16.080 -> 25:21.200] What are your opinions on the whole situation that's come about?
[25:21.200 -> 25:23.520] Oh, so much depression.
[25:23.520 -> 25:25.600] So much sadness.
[25:25.600 -> 25:29.400] No, it's probably the right thing to happen.
[25:29.400 -> 25:32.000] I'm very excited for Piastri to come in.
[25:32.000 -> 25:33.600] It's going to be sick to see him.
[25:33.600 -> 25:38.400] And like, obviously, F2 champion, and he looks like insanely quick.
[25:38.400 -> 25:41.000] Yeah, I think he should get the seat at McLaren.
[25:41.000 -> 25:43.000] But I also think I should get the seat at McLaren.
[25:43.000 -> 25:43.800] So, I'm in.
[25:43.800 -> 25:49.280] Anyway, I think Riccardo does deserve a a seat even in one of the lower teams.
[25:49.280 -> 25:52.800] Cause he's just like, you can see, you can see it's there.
[25:52.800 -> 25:55.360] I think he just like, I don't know.
[25:55.360 -> 25:57.820] I hope if he has a year off, he can come back.
[25:57.820 -> 26:01.180] I think that would be the best scenario, but I'd be worried that he would leave.
[26:01.180 -> 26:03.340] And it's so hard to get back in.
[26:03.360 -> 26:06.400] Like, I think it was so lucky that Agnes got back in.
[26:06.400 -> 26:08.560] So yeah, um, I don't know.
[26:09.920 -> 26:15.680] I hope he comes back cause he'll definitely be missed and just like his whole demeanor,
[26:15.680 -> 26:18.240] even outside of the race, it's something enjoyable.
[26:18.240 -> 26:22.400] Like even just like leading up to the racing clips of Daniel Ricciardo
[26:22.400 -> 26:23.840] mucking around with his teammates and stuff.
[26:23.840 -> 26:25.200] It's just a different feeling.
[26:25.200 -> 26:29.440] So, yeah. It's sad, but it's a decent time.
[26:29.440 -> 26:29.940] I agree.
[26:29.940 -> 26:36.240] And is that sort of like, because you're on ground there, is that sort of like the mood in Australia?
[26:36.240 -> 26:38.720] Like, just extrapolate that to the whole country.
[26:38.720 -> 26:45.340] Yeah, in terms of him leaving, I think nearly everyone in Australia doesn't want Daniel
[26:45.340 -> 26:46.340] Ricardo to leave.
[26:46.340 -> 26:48.080] They love him.
[26:48.080 -> 26:52.520] I think he represents what we're like in general quite well.
[26:52.520 -> 27:01.320] I think a lot of us are like him, pretty laid back and just try to get the best out of life
[27:01.320 -> 27:03.400] and be happy as much as you can.
[27:03.400 -> 27:11.760] And it's good to see him at that level, like showing that, but not everyone in Australia is like Daniel Ricciardo. He'll definitely
[27:11.760 -> 27:16.400] be missed if he doesn't come back, but I'm sure he'll race somewhere else, which is good.
[27:17.200 -> 27:22.160] Fun, fun, fun, fun. Yeah. Already heard that he got an invitation from the NASCAR team.
[27:23.920 -> 27:25.600] The one that's putting the third car.
[27:25.600 -> 27:26.040] No, no, no.
[27:26.440 -> 27:31.320] The, the, I forget what their name is right now, but basically Kimi, the team
[27:31.320 -> 27:36.080] in which Kimi had participated in just a couple of months ago, they are kind of
[27:36.080 -> 27:40.720] doing, uh, yeah, they're trying to put in a third car, which kind of gets drivers
[27:40.720 -> 27:50.200] from other racing categories to try and wait on to be a NASCAR driver. Have you seen the memes with like all the F1 drivers like
[27:50.200 -> 27:56.080] what they look like as NASCAR drivers? I haven't seen that. Really? That's interesting. I should check it out.
[27:56.080 -> 28:07.000] Is it like after 10 cheeseburgers? Yes, exactly. They all look like truck drivers. Oh, that's funny.
[28:08.240 -> 28:13.200] Although I would, I mean, he, he's got a good sort of alt career doing this
[28:13.400 -> 28:16.480] BMX bike thing and GoPro stunt things too.
[28:16.480 -> 28:18.360] I'd love to see him do that too.
[28:18.680 -> 28:19.040] Yeah.
[28:19.040 -> 28:23.880] I don't think anything, I don't think his career is anywhere near over, like,
[28:24.320 -> 28:25.400] because he's got his own clothing
[28:25.400 -> 28:31.360] line and you know, someone like that's just, you can't want you that like big in social
[28:31.360 -> 28:34.640] media, even if you're out of it, like people, that's what he's done.
[28:34.640 -> 28:36.560] He's built up and it's pretty smart.
[28:36.560 -> 28:40.520] He's like built up people that love him, even not for racing.
[28:40.520 -> 28:46.880] So like, even if his career is over, technically, like, he's got so many avenues because people
[28:46.880 -> 28:48.800] just love him as a personality.
[28:48.800 -> 28:53.640] So I think he's done a very good job where some drivers, Kimi Raikkonen, I won't name
[28:53.640 -> 28:58.160] them, don't give themselves too...
[28:58.160 -> 29:03.360] I mean, no, he's given himself a lot of personality by not giving himself all personality, but
[29:03.360 -> 29:07.040] in a sense, you can't really go anywhere from it in terms of social media.
[29:07.600 -> 29:10.800] But I don't think they need to, their paychecks are quite large.
[29:10.800 -> 29:12.000] So I think you'll be fine in there.
[29:13.880 -> 29:16.520] Dark joke incoming, trigger warning, you've been warned.
[29:17.120 -> 29:20.560] It almost took a World War III to get Magnusson back.
[29:20.600 -> 29:23.680] I hope it doesn't get that dramatic to get Daniel back.
[29:23.720 -> 29:29.400] I'll be starting World War bloody 8 to get Ricardo back. I hope it doesn't get that dramatic to get Daniel back. I'll be starting World War bloody 8 to get Ricardo back.
[29:29.400 -> 29:31.400] Okay. Alright.
[29:31.400 -> 29:33.400] Don't clip that.
[29:33.400 -> 29:40.400] Some voice said that. I don't know.
[29:40.400 -> 29:42.400] Yeah.
[29:42.400 -> 29:49.720] Let's see what else was awesome oh oh oh before before are
[29:49.720 -> 29:53.520] we are we there yet have we have we moved past the controversies because I
[29:53.520 -> 29:58.200] want to bring up the yeah that's done let's let's get to the main reason and
[29:58.200 -> 30:07.040] yeah let's I want to start this discussion with like the P4 battle between Hamilton and Ocon.
[30:08.000 -> 30:12.880] Oh my God. That was like a chef's kiss driving from Ocon there.
[30:14.400 -> 30:19.520] Yeah, Ocon is just like consistently, when he gets in those situations, it was like him in
[30:20.320 -> 30:26.160] Hungary the year before. It's just like, he's just so good at defending.
[30:26.160 -> 30:29.720] And it's like, even when, because you know how, when they're so close behind, they'll
[30:29.720 -> 30:35.000] like dummy a dive bomb or like, they'll change their position to try and even just like,
[30:35.800 -> 30:38.360] kind of like mentally throw off the driver in front.
[30:38.640 -> 30:41.280] He's just so like, like, I don't give a fuck.
[30:41.280 -> 30:42.320] And just like turns in.
[30:43.760 -> 30:45.160] He's just like turns it
[30:47.480 -> 30:49.120] When he needs to defend he's really
[30:53.400 -> 30:58.400] And I was thinking about that I was thinking like if Ocon was in a Red Bull I think he would be a world champion. You know, I think he's like I really think he is
[30:59.320 -> 31:06.780] one of the top drivers in terms of his defense and like I if he was like, it's hard to know what he's like as a race
[31:06.780 -> 31:09.840] starter, because like, he's not, he's not at the front.
[31:09.880 -> 31:13.680] So, and you're always saying Max and he's an unbelievable race starter.
[31:13.680 -> 31:15.160] And once he gets ahead, he's gone.
[31:15.500 -> 31:20.600] And I think like, if Ocon was there to see what he'd be like as a race starter, if he
[31:20.600 -> 31:23.360] was good, I don't think many people would be getting past him because his
[31:23.360 -> 31:24.800] defense is just unbelievable.
[31:23.840 -> 31:30.400] started, if he was good, I don't think many people would be getting past him because his defense is just unbelievable. I think one thing what I feel about Okon is he's, people don't know much about
[31:30.400 -> 31:37.600] him, like he's not much on the camera most of the times, like even in interviews, in like TV coverage,
[31:37.600 -> 31:42.320] they don't show him a lot generally. I don't know why, probably like he's not as marketable or
[31:42.320 -> 31:46.560] whatever, I don't know what it is about him. I think for me, it's like the submissive nature
[31:46.560 -> 31:49.880] that Max sort of had on him like Brazil three years back
[31:49.880 -> 31:51.920] when he shoved him sort of thing, right?
[31:51.920 -> 31:54.280] So it's like, he's this timid guy.
[31:54.280 -> 31:55.520] A black person.
[31:57.760 -> 31:59.080] He is a pretty decent driver.
[31:59.080 -> 32:02.560] Like if you recall, like he was not an F1 for a year
[32:02.560 -> 32:05.600] and then he did come back because that's clear that
[32:05.600 -> 32:08.840] the team did believe in him and they wanted to get him back.
[32:08.840 -> 32:12.560] So yeah, but yeah, go ahead Kieran.
[32:12.560 -> 32:16.760] Yeah, I was just gonna say like, I think that's what did spark the thought of like, what would
[32:16.760 -> 32:18.280] he be like in a Red Bull?
[32:18.280 -> 32:22.920] Because I had thought of like the other drivers, like, can they be world champ, but I've never
[32:22.920 -> 32:26.320] thought of it as for Ocon, because he's for some reason,
[32:26.320 -> 32:27.960] he's going to think about Ocon.
[32:27.960 -> 32:29.320] It's a bit sad.
[32:29.320 -> 32:31.120] But I think he's very underrated.
[32:31.120 -> 32:31.960] Very underrated driver.
[32:31.960 -> 32:32.800] Yeah, he is.
[32:33.880 -> 32:38.880] So folks, if Ocon becomes the world driving champion,
[32:39.040 -> 32:40.640] you heard it first.
[32:40.640 -> 32:43.480] And you heard it from your old host, Kieran Brodnick.
[32:43.480 -> 32:47.000] He called it out. He called it out. Before anyone did.
[32:47.000 -> 32:52.480] He's like climbing his world championship trophy and Max comes up and shoves it.
[32:52.480 -> 32:56.680] Oh, God.
[32:56.680 -> 32:57.600] Oh, yes.
[32:57.600 -> 33:00.160] Dude, it could… So, that's a good point.
[33:00.160 -> 33:07.440] It could very well happen. So, see, FIA has this track record of making it controversial for whenever Max gets the champion.
[33:07.440 -> 33:12.960] Imagine there's a one-point separation between Max and Ocon. It's the last race. We're at Abu Dhabi.
[33:12.960 -> 33:15.240] And repeatable. See what happens.
[33:15.240 -> 33:20.360] A UFC fight between Ocon and Max.
[33:20.360 -> 33:22.080] Oh, God.
[33:22.080 -> 33:29.000] And I'm on the podium. JB commentating and Max showing.
[33:29.000 -> 33:34.500] I would pay good money to watch that.
[33:34.500 -> 33:37.500] Who do you think would be the best fire eye in the grid?
[33:37.500 -> 33:41.000] Let's see.
[33:41.000 -> 33:49.600] I want to say Perez's dad. He looks like that Mexican.
[33:49.600 -> 33:51.600] Put him in that suit.
[33:51.600 -> 33:55.600] He would have a pocket or something. He wouldn't even get a fine.
[33:55.600 -> 33:59.600] Yeah, I'm not sure.
[33:59.600 -> 34:01.600] I think Alonso can pack a punch. I don't know.
[34:01.600 -> 34:03.600] He has that old guy strength.
[34:03.600 -> 34:05.120] Yeah, definitely
[34:05.920 -> 34:07.920] And who's at the back you got?
[34:08.160 -> 34:10.160] I reckon Magnus
[34:10.840 -> 34:13.360] Well Ocon's tall so he's got a lot of room.
[34:13.360 -> 34:14.360] Ocon's tall yeah
[34:14.360 -> 34:16.360] He can just stand back and
[34:16.360 -> 34:18.360] He can jab yeah he can jab
[34:18.360 -> 34:20.360] Like Yuki would just be, he can just hold his head and Yuki would just be
[34:20.360 -> 34:26.600] Try to hit him Ha ha ha ha should make a meme out of that.
[34:26.600 -> 34:27.600] That's a nice one.
[34:27.600 -> 34:29.200] Okon versus Yuki.
[34:29.200 -> 34:33.200] Just snaps through the bar bar.
[34:33.200 -> 34:35.400] Oh, man.
[34:35.400 -> 34:36.600] Oh, God.
[34:36.600 -> 34:38.000] Yeah, that would be...
[34:38.000 -> 34:39.000] that would be fun.
[34:39.000 -> 34:40.200] Who else is up there?
[34:40.200 -> 34:41.200] Who else is up there?
[34:41.200 -> 34:45.600] I feel like my mind's clouded with like this angry version of Max.
[34:45.600 -> 34:50.480] He's become calmer now. But like, I feel like Max has so much pent up anger from,
[34:50.480 -> 34:53.200] even from like his childhood. Like it's all in there.
[34:54.640 -> 34:59.120] Did you hear that thing about him, like not winning a carding race and his dad left him at
[34:59.120 -> 35:01.600] the Petro social? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[35:01.600 -> 35:06.640] I'm thinking that. He's been beaten and had all sorts of...
[35:06.640 -> 35:09.600] I've heard a lot of rumors. So, I don't know. I don't know at all.
[35:09.600 -> 35:16.960] So, yeah. All of that's coming out on whoever's showing him for that one point.
[35:16.960 -> 35:24.680] I don't think there's a problem in that. Instead of doing sprint races, they just do UFC sparring. I don't see a problem.
[35:24.680 -> 35:26.320] Fair enough. races they just do like yeah right like yeah UFC spawning i don't see a problem
[35:26.320 -> 35:28.880] fair enough
[35:29.840 -> 35:33.520] and what else uh what were the other good battles up there
[35:33.520 -> 35:37.760] oh man there were many i think first of all one awesome thing what i liked about
[35:37.760 -> 35:41.280] the sprint was you know uh everybody went out on the back end of
[35:41.280 -> 35:47.200] course so we are calling this a sprint and not a main race right? Yeah I mean it was a sprint right?
[35:47.200 -> 35:51.200] We are giving four points but it's a sprint.
[35:51.200 -> 35:52.200] Yeah.
[35:52.200 -> 35:53.200] Right.
[35:53.200 -> 35:59.640] So like first of all everybody hates the vets and everybody has like mentioned this a lot
[35:59.640 -> 36:00.640] of times.
[36:00.640 -> 36:05.000] So as soon as anybody is on vets they're always talking to their engineer as to,
[36:05.000 -> 36:07.000] you know, when can I get out of this? You know, that's,
[36:07.000 -> 36:10.000] that's the first thing that they did with us. So of course,
[36:10.000 -> 36:14.000] like Vettel started the whole train and of course Latifi as well.
[36:14.000 -> 36:15.000] Sorry, I can't forget that.
[36:15.000 -> 36:19.000] Latifi and Vettel went on to the end first because they had nothing to lose
[36:19.000 -> 36:22.000] since they were, you know, quite literally the dead last.
[36:22.000 -> 36:27.680] But then right after that, like six laps into the race, again, this whole
[36:27.680 -> 36:32.400] chaos started with everybody pitting and it was again, so confusing as you
[36:32.400 -> 36:33.720] know, who's going to come out ahead.
[36:34.120 -> 36:39.200] And I feel like even I was surprised that we got a pit stop in this like
[36:39.200 -> 36:43.040] short race, first of all, and that to some people, we pitted twice as well.
[36:43.080 -> 36:44.560] So, you know, that's there as well.
[36:45.120 -> 36:50.800] So, so much action going on of course and we got so many kind side-by-side battles in the pit lane
[36:50.800 -> 36:54.720] that was insane yeah we're coming out like squeezing each other in the end
[36:57.760 -> 37:07.880] exactly yeah it's really it's actually very interesting how quickly the inters lose their performance.
[37:07.880 -> 37:14.080] Because yeah, like you said, the race is not long, but you can see after 10 laps, the inters
[37:14.080 -> 37:17.320] are, if you get fresh inters, they're already so much faster.
[37:17.320 -> 37:22.920] You can see from Alonso how much time he's making up on everyone just from a 10 lap old
[37:22.920 -> 37:28.560] inter. Like you wouldn't think that from like a wheel, like if you think about it in your head,
[37:28.560 -> 37:34.480] like a wheel that's good for wet being on water, how does it degrade so much?
[37:34.480 -> 37:37.120] Like I know it's going so fast, but it just doesn't make sense.
[37:37.120 -> 37:38.240] Yeah.
[37:38.240 -> 37:40.400] That's how quickly it degrades. It's pretty cool.
[37:40.400 -> 37:48.480] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And as there's this again, I think they got someone from Pirelli onto the commentary right before they were
[37:48.480 -> 37:50.280] going to like get off the red flag.
[37:52.680 -> 37:54.920] And I'm just going to read it from my notes here, which is,
[37:55.640 -> 37:58.680] so they were having this basically discussion of going like full wet versus
[37:58.680 -> 38:00.760] inters. And, uh,
[38:00.920 -> 38:08.080] and the discussion was like a full wet would allow like perfect grip given these conditions.
[38:08.080 -> 38:13.240] But it usually sprays three times as much as water and like impairs visibility to like
[38:13.240 -> 38:17.480] the super low when it was already worse.
[38:17.480 -> 38:22.640] And then the inters on the other hand wouldn't spray too much, but it would raise the issue
[38:22.640 -> 38:25.140] of aquaplaning way too much especially like
[38:25.140 -> 38:28.860] Suzuka not being flat and like there being some downhills where like puddles
[38:28.860 -> 38:33.700] would be formed and by the way they named those puddles to I think I'm yeah
[38:33.700 -> 38:52.000] Shimo and Naka yeah yeah the two names of the ponds that were formed Shimo and Naka. drivers knew that's what they were called. I think even Jensen Harnick was like, what? I don't know how true this is, how true this is, but I think I heard them saying
[38:52.000 -> 38:56.920] like if they were to get onto the inters in these situations, or sorry the full
[38:56.920 -> 39:00.640] wets in these situations which spray three times as much as the inters, it
[39:00.640 -> 39:07.400] disperses 85 liters per second at top speed. Wow. That's a mental number if
[39:07.400 -> 39:12.120] that's true. Yeah, that's possible. I always just think about myself like when I hear
[39:12.120 -> 39:21.360] measurements like that, I'm like could I drink that? How much better? Then I really think like okay, it's a lot.
[39:21.560 -> 39:25.120] Yeah, but then like what's the point, you know, it's like,
[39:29.120 -> 39:29.280] if you've got a wheel that's good for that condition, but it sprays that much,
[39:33.280 -> 39:34.680] like what is the point of even having that? Like, this doesn't make sense.
[39:35.520 -> 39:35.920] And Ted was like,
[39:38.920 -> 39:42.160] but you think about designing your tires different and the guy kind of looked at him like, what the hell? Who is this guy?
[39:46.000 -> 39:48.000] It's like that every other
[39:48.000 -> 39:50.000] I thought of two things
[39:50.000 -> 39:52.000] One was like as an engineer
[39:52.000 -> 39:54.000] It was like can we get this in pink?
[39:54.000 -> 39:56.000] Like it's
[39:56.000 -> 39:58.000] that design thing
[39:58.000 -> 40:00.000] Or you go to a shop
[40:00.000 -> 40:02.000] Do you have any more designs in this
[40:02.000 -> 40:04.000] particular t-shirt?
[40:04.000 -> 40:09.000] Oh my god, I've noted down this? I've got to make at least 5 videos on this road.
[40:09.000 -> 40:16.000] I've got to start making Ted Kravitz videos. I reckon he'll do so well.
[40:16.000 -> 40:19.000] A whole new living just out of Ted's career.
[40:19.000 -> 40:21.000] Yeah.
[40:21.000 -> 40:31.120] God. But you know, we can't forget the very awesome battle to the finish line between Vettel and
[40:31.120 -> 40:32.120] Arlonso that we saw.
[40:32.120 -> 40:33.120] That was super.
[40:33.120 -> 40:37.640] Of course, nobody saw it, like TV directors didn't show it.
[40:37.640 -> 40:39.040] So no fans saw it.
[40:39.040 -> 40:43.400] It's only a few like really went back and looked at footages and find it out.
[40:43.400 -> 40:48.200] But it was such an awkward moment at the end because like, I remember they were showing
[40:48.200 -> 40:52.840] the battle between, I think it was Ocon and Hamilton or something like that.
[40:52.840 -> 40:55.200] And then Max was crossing the line.
[40:55.200 -> 41:00.520] So they had to bring that on the TV, but then they brought up Hamilton's battle and then
[41:00.520 -> 41:04.000] you've got Vettel and Alonso, but there's not enough space in the TV.
[41:04.000 -> 41:06.000] It's just like, we're missing so much.
[41:07.600 -> 41:07.920] Yeah.
[41:07.920 -> 41:10.320] I don't know what you do in that situation, but I think like,
[41:11.680 -> 41:14.160] I don't know, because you have to show Max on the TV he's winning,
[41:14.160 -> 41:17.440] but I don't know when he's ahead by 27 seconds, do you have to show it?
[41:18.000 -> 41:20.160] Do you really have to show it?
[41:20.160 -> 41:20.640] Exactly.
[41:22.880 -> 41:26.160] But the worst part is they didn't even show it in the replays after the race.
[41:26.160 -> 41:32.640] That's what pissed a lot of people off. The drag race to the finish line. I get that they have to
[41:32.640 -> 41:38.000] show max but at least in the replays that they show right after the podiums and everything.
[41:38.000 -> 41:42.960] Before that actually as well. They didn't even show it then. Yeah, whatever.
[41:42.960 -> 41:45.360] Yeah, I think the only footage i saw of it was from
[41:45.360 -> 41:50.640] a fan and just like a fan recording it as i came around everyone was kind of like oh whoa
[41:50.640 -> 41:52.560] but yeah we did it to the rescue again
[41:53.280 -> 41:54.400] ready to the rescue yeah
[41:56.560 -> 42:02.160] yeah that was very good but yeah it should have hit it a lap earlier and he would have got it
[42:03.200 -> 42:06.320] as jen said but I'm glad honestly,
[42:06.320 -> 42:11.440] very honestly as a Vettel fan I'm glad that Alonso didn't overtake him. I'm just happy that
[42:12.640 -> 42:19.760] he started like after the first lap of course like you know he had Alonso and was spun off
[42:20.480 -> 42:26.400] in the typical Vettel fashion and but yeah, he ended up P6. So, I'm happy.
[42:26.400 -> 42:30.320] But I think like two teams that messed up.
[42:30.320 -> 42:34.000] I mean, Alonso, sure, maybe not so much
[42:34.000 -> 42:36.240] because he eventually did catch Vettel again.
[42:36.240 -> 42:38.480] He did fall down two, three positions.
[42:38.480 -> 42:43.840] But I feel like it could have been a great day for Mick.
[42:43.840 -> 42:52.720] And he got robbed off like a good point position just because of like them hoping for a safety car again and working him sooner.
[42:52.720 -> 43:01.360] Yeah, I think it's tough for a team like us because every time there's availability for a risk, a team like that's going to take it.
[43:01.360 -> 43:05.120] But it really stuffs up their drivers because like yeah as you
[43:05.120 -> 43:09.440] just said like then they get out of the points and they miss out on like one or two points but
[43:09.440 -> 43:14.400] there is that little chance for like getting a lot of points which is big for that team so I guess
[43:14.400 -> 43:19.600] they sort of weigh up or it's probably more worth getting zero points than possibly getting
[43:20.560 -> 43:23.120] eight points you know so they you may as well yeah
[43:23.000 -> 43:24.000] pay points, you know, so they, you may as well. Yeah.
[43:24.000 -> 43:27.000] Yeah, it was a gamble.
[43:27.000 -> 43:29.000] It didn't pay off, unfortunately.
[43:29.000 -> 43:31.000] But yeah, it's sad for Mick because he doesn't have a seat yet.
[43:31.000 -> 43:34.000] So, you know, that's, that's kind of the bad part for him.
[43:34.000 -> 43:35.000] Yeah.
[43:35.000 -> 43:40.000] So, I think, honestly, I've actually been impressed by Mick this year.
[43:40.000 -> 43:44.000] And there's been moments where he's been so good.
[43:44.000 -> 43:48.160] Like I think about Austria against Hamilton and Hamilton could have gone.
[43:48.160 -> 43:49.160] Yes, exactly.
[43:49.160 -> 43:52.080] Stuff like that. You see really how good he is.
[43:52.080 -> 43:55.680] So, I think it would be a shame losing him.
[43:55.680 -> 43:57.440] For sure. For sure.
[43:57.440 -> 43:58.440] See what happens.
[43:58.440 -> 44:03.120] Yeah, let's see if Vettel has like an exiting influence on some team.
[44:03.120 -> 44:04.360] I guess he would.
[44:04.360 -> 44:08.800] I guess he would. We're talking about points.
[44:10.560 -> 44:17.680] First of a subtle mention is because Alpine was so good this weekend, the ex-Renault,
[44:17.680 -> 44:24.720] ex-GP2 engine team is now above I think McLaren, sorry, I might be wrong there.
[44:25.000 -> 44:26.120] is now above, I think McLaren, sorry, I might be wrong there.
[44:29.580 -> 44:32.280] By a good, good amount of points in the Constructor Championship.
[44:32.280 -> 44:35.160] And I saved the other one for later,
[44:35.160 -> 44:38.720] which is Latifi is back in P20.
[44:38.720 -> 44:40.360] He's back on the table.
[44:40.360 -> 44:42.360] Yes, he's back in P20.
[44:42.360 -> 44:43.200] Oh my.
[44:43.200 -> 44:44.040] Oh my.
[44:44.040 -> 44:50.000] Honestly, I felt bad for him before.
[44:50.000 -> 44:54.000] I was like, I think he can do well. Let's just see if he can get some points.
[44:54.000 -> 44:56.000] And then he did that crash against Joe.
[44:56.000 -> 44:58.000] And I was like, get the f**k out of here.
[44:58.000 -> 45:00.000] Yes, exactly.
[45:00.000 -> 45:02.000] Dude, you got a nice reel there too.
[45:02.000 -> 45:05.600] Like, eventually closing the door and running into your own closet.
[45:05.600 -> 45:06.100] Oh shit.
[45:06.100 -> 45:13.600] It's just, yeah, that was the last straw I reckon. It's just so bad.
[45:13.600 -> 45:21.400] Yeah, man. Like, nothing against him, but there are a lot of good people waiting in line. So, you know, it's like...
[45:21.400 -> 45:27.760] Yeah, like after that crash, I was waiting up all night for a phone call. It's like, Oh, I was waiting.
[45:28.080 -> 45:31.480] Like if he does that, I should be there.
[45:37.800 -> 45:41.520] So who have they got that second William seat yet? They don't have that one yet.
[45:42.080 -> 45:42.920] No, no.
[45:44.160 -> 45:46.600] They just clarified it with them that we are not taking you. That's
[45:49.800 -> 45:50.720] I'll be waiting until
[45:54.280 -> 45:55.120] yeah.
[45:56.240 -> 45:59.880] No, you go. I'm not saying like maybe, yeah, me. Yeah.
[46:00.760 -> 46:03.880] I don't know. But I'd be okay. I'd be okay. As long as he's on the grid,
[46:03.880 -> 46:05.000] I'd be okay. Yeah.
[46:05.000 -> 46:06.000] I think so too.
[46:06.000 -> 46:10.720] But I think it would be like going a step back for him probably, but I don't know.
[46:10.720 -> 46:11.720] Because better than...
[46:11.720 -> 46:12.720] But who knows, man.
[46:12.720 -> 46:16.840] Haas is also very unreliable, unfortunately.
[46:16.840 -> 46:20.760] They started off pretty well this season, but clearly they...
[46:20.760 -> 46:24.600] And in fact, I think they had mentioned this early on as well that they're not going to
[46:24.600 -> 46:25.040] be continuing any development for this year. they and in fact I think they had mentioned this early on as well that they're not going to be
[46:25.040 -> 46:32.000] continuing any development for this year. They started for next year quite early on so who knows
[46:32.000 -> 46:38.640] like they can improve again next year if what they're saying is true but at least what we saw
[46:39.200 -> 46:46.000] this year their trajectory was downwards. I was very excited after their first race.
[46:46.000 -> 46:49.000] I was just like so happy for Gunter.
[46:49.000 -> 46:52.000] But, uh...
[46:52.000 -> 46:55.000] Fox smash!
[46:55.000 -> 46:59.000] I just think like they should bring like Drugovic straight through.
[46:59.000 -> 47:04.000] Like they should bring... I think there should always be a seat open for the winner of the previous comp.
[47:04.000 -> 47:05.200] Like I think that should be be a seat open for the winner of the previous comp. I think that should be it.
[47:05.200 -> 47:06.720] I like that.
[47:06.720 -> 47:12.720] Because what's the point of a guy winning and then not bringing him through if that doesn't have chance.
[47:12.720 -> 47:16.720] And I think the worst performing driver just should go.
[47:16.720 -> 47:17.520] Be tossed out.
[47:17.520 -> 47:20.320] And it's been promising, right?
[47:20.320 -> 47:26.240] Like Leclerc, Lando, all of these who've come through like winning or at least P2 too,
[47:26.240 -> 47:32.160] they've been promising. Yeah, for sure. I guess, yeah, no, I don't mind that like if someone like
[47:32.160 -> 47:36.320] Piastri, you're on the sideline for a year and you're just observing and stuff, maybe that is
[47:36.320 -> 47:41.440] good because you would learn a lot from it. And it, yeah, I guess going straight into it might
[47:41.440 -> 47:48.040] be a bit big. But I don't know, I think there should be more push for that.
[47:48.160 -> 47:51.880] But like if a driver's performed so well, why would you not bring him through to
[47:51.880 -> 47:53.080] someone like the T-Fusion?
[47:55.040 -> 47:56.960] But then what if you want two things, right?
[47:56.960 -> 48:04.400] But what if you want money, A, and then someone who's racing in other formats?
[48:05.000 -> 48:05.560] And then someone who's racing in other formats.
[48:09.200 -> 48:10.360] Well, I just bring Kiran Bronic from TikTok. Straight into it.
[48:10.360 -> 48:12.440] You save your money and you get performance.
[48:12.440 -> 48:14.280] Yeah, exactly.
[48:17.000 -> 48:19.080] But in Haas's defense,
[48:19.080 -> 48:22.320] this is something that I did find out recently is
[48:22.320 -> 48:23.720] they're quite a small team.
[48:23.720 -> 48:27.920] From what I learned is they're just roughly around 150 folks
[48:27.920 -> 48:30.560] spread across all three of their development areas,
[48:30.560 -> 48:33.360] which is like the US, the UK, and Italy.
[48:33.360 -> 48:33.860] Interesting.
[48:33.860 -> 48:36.560] So it's quite a small team, and they're
[48:36.560 -> 48:38.640] sort of like working through their resources
[48:38.640 -> 48:41.920] to get as much as they can sort of pump out of them and stuff.
[48:41.920 -> 48:45.520] So I guess they're trying, but it's obviously not enough.
[48:46.240 -> 48:50.800] Yeah, that is tough. It's good that they're doing as good as they are with that amount of people.
[48:50.800 -> 48:56.320] Imagine if they had as many as Mercedes had, they'd be all over it. Something that's fresh
[48:56.960 -> 49:03.520] off the oven, budget gap discussions. That's been all over the news, man.
[49:03.520 -> 49:07.200] How much do they spend on food? How much do they spend on food?
[49:09.880 -> 49:12.360] So that was, this is last year, right?
[49:12.880 -> 49:14.280] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[49:14.320 -> 49:18.400] How do you deal with that? Do you find out the next year?
[49:18.560 -> 49:19.160] Honestly,
[49:19.160 -> 49:23.000] it makes me think that they knew earlier and they just waited long enough until
[49:23.400 -> 49:28.800] it's like too hard to deal with it. And then you're like, oh, we'll just, we'll just say it and not do anything.
[49:28.800 -> 49:29.800] Yeah.
[49:29.800 -> 49:34.080] Because you can't, like, how do you punish a team for that?
[49:34.080 -> 49:35.080] Exactly.
[49:35.080 -> 49:36.080] Yeah.
[49:36.080 -> 49:41.480] It's very difficult, like, removing points would be too harsh and you know, that might
[49:41.480 -> 49:43.880] start up even, you know, larger controversy.
[49:43.880 -> 49:44.880] So it doesn't make sense.
[49:44.880 -> 49:48.680] Yeah. It's very difficult like they say they have got a
[49:48.680 -> 49:54.120] monetary fine but putting a monetary fine for breaking a cost cap kind of
[49:54.120 -> 49:58.320] negates it right like it doesn't make sense
[49:59.200 -> 50:04.680] we've had so many other scandals in the sport and drivers and teams have gotten
[50:04.680 -> 50:05.080] away do we think this is gonna like I genuinely don't think this is gonna go We've had so many other scandals in the sport and drivers and teams have gotten away.
[50:05.360 -> 50:09.000] Do we think this is gonna like, I genuinely don't think this is going to go anywhere.
[50:09.360 -> 50:18.200] Yeah. They've just waited too long because you can't announce a world champion and then take points away.
[50:19.560 -> 50:22.840] It's just, it's just, it's awkward.
[50:23.000 -> 50:27.520] Yeah. But there's a whole list of things that can be done as part of the reprimand, which is,
[50:27.520 -> 50:32.720] one of them is also taking points off of like the Constructor Championship.
[50:32.720 -> 50:37.240] And I think like, at worst, at worst, RBR might be okay with that,
[50:37.240 -> 50:40.080] because that would still put them above, who was 3rd?
[50:40.080 -> 50:41.640] McLaren was 3rd last year.
[50:41.640 -> 50:44.920] So, Hoover was 3rd, basically, it would still put them above them,
[50:44.920 -> 50:45.040] even after taking some points off. So, whoever was third basically, you would still put them above them
[50:45.040 -> 50:46.440] even after taking some points off.
[50:46.440 -> 50:48.240] So, I had to watch them do that.
[50:48.240 -> 50:50.080] Taking Max off the championship,
[50:50.080 -> 50:53.400] I highly, highly doubt that's gonna happen, no.
[50:53.400 -> 50:54.720] Yeah, that would be,
[50:54.720 -> 50:56.080] I don't think that's an option.
[50:56.080 -> 50:57.280] You can't really, yeah,
[50:57.280 -> 50:59.200] you can't announce him as the winner.
[50:59.200 -> 51:00.040] No.
[51:00.040 -> 51:00.880] That's just not.
[51:00.880 -> 51:01.720] Yeah.
[51:01.720 -> 51:02.560] Because then that would,
[51:02.560 -> 51:07.000] I think that would create a instability about F1 as a sport.
[51:07.000 -> 51:08.000] Exactly.
[51:08.000 -> 51:12.000] I'd say bring Michael back at that point.
[51:12.000 -> 51:15.000] Like why even have a director?
[51:15.000 -> 51:19.000] If controversy in drama is all you want.
[51:19.000 -> 51:21.000] Might as well.
[51:21.000 -> 51:24.000] It's such an exciting season with Michael.
[51:24.000 -> 51:30.440] I heard some really awesome theories about the food thing by the way, the cost cap thing.
[51:30.440 -> 51:35.400] Some people were basically saying that what if they basically you know baked cookies in
[51:35.400 -> 51:49.960] the shape of front wings, arrow, birds. And put them in like tiny tunnels.
[51:49.960 -> 51:53.520] So many memes like the reddit feed is completely fit of it.
[51:53.520 -> 51:56.880] Someone said Gordon Ramsey costed so much.
[51:56.880 -> 51:57.880] Oh my God.
[51:57.880 -> 51:58.880] He was in the panic.
[51:58.880 -> 51:59.880] He was.
[51:59.880 -> 52:00.880] Yes.
[52:00.880 -> 52:01.880] He was in the one hour.
[52:01.880 -> 52:06.000] Oh, yes. I think he was in the wash.
[52:06.000 -> 52:08.000] He was in the London one and the one after.
[52:08.000 -> 52:10.000] Oh, son of a...
[52:10.000 -> 52:12.000] But I think all in all, awesome race, right?
[52:12.000 -> 52:13.000] Yeah.
[52:13.000 -> 52:19.000] I really enjoyed it. Of course, the wait was really boring, but I think I agree, like,
[52:19.000 -> 52:23.000] safety first, like, until and unless the conditions were good enough, they didn't start the race.
[52:23.000 -> 52:28.240] I'm happy about that. We got a really awesome race and a very awkward cool down room.
[52:31.760 -> 52:36.320] Definitely one of the top races of the year. Definitely not something to sleep on.
[52:36.320 -> 52:38.480] And the wait was definitely worth it.
[52:38.480 -> 52:44.400] And Max has found a brother in Perez for sure with all the support that Perez gives him.
[52:44.400 -> 52:44.900] Definitely.
[52:44.400 -> 52:44.520] brother in Perez for sure with all the support that Perez gives him.
[52:45.360 -> 52:46.640] Definitely.
[52:51.040 -> 52:51.560] With that off to Kiran you, A, what was your experience on the show?
[52:55.680 -> 52:57.640] Um, yeah, look, not a chance in the world I'll be coming back. No, I'm joking.
[52:58.760 -> 53:03.280] This was an awesome experience. It's so good to talk about this sport with people that also love it and just
[53:03.400 -> 53:08.440] muck around and joke about it. Also take it a bit seriously here and there but yeah I'm looking forward to
[53:08.440 -> 53:13.280] coming back for sure it's a really good fun. Thank you for being here Kirin.
[53:13.280 -> 53:18.880] Folks, as I said in the start you heard him right like let's let's get him back
[53:18.880 -> 53:29.360] to that 100k mark let's let's support a fellow f1 guy. With that we are your hosts signing off. Bye Bye.
