**Summary of the F1 Fan Fiction Podcast Episode: Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2023**
* The Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend featured a new format with two qualifying sessions, two races, and a sprint day.
* The sprint day was not well-received by some drivers, including Lance Stroll, who preferred the traditional format.
* The race itself was a snoozefest, with little action except for some excitement in Turn 15.
* Sergio Perez continued his dominance on street circuits, winning the race and extending his lead in the championship standings.
* Charles Leclerc had a disappointing weekend, qualifying on pole but finishing third in the race.
* Max Verstappen and George Russell had a heated exchange after the sprint race, with Verstappen calling Russell a "dickhead."
* Fernando Alonso impressed with his racecraft, coaching his teammate Lance Stroll while driving.
* The camera work was criticized for focusing too much on the hole in the track where cars were bottoming out.
* McLaren had a disappointing weekend, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri finishing outside the points.
**Key Insights and Perspectives:**
* The new weekend format did not generate much excitement and may need to be revised in the future.
* Perez is a genuine contender for the championship, especially on street circuits.
* Leclerc is struggling to convert his qualifying pace into race wins.

[00:31.600 -> 00:32.960] After three weeks of snoozing out in the spring break to another weekend of Snoozefest.

I tried making Twitter, but Twitter was so dim, so grim, I couldn't survive on Twitter.
[01:10.880 -> 01:12.240] I'm still there.
[01:13.520 -> 01:16.480] But like in incognito mode 24-7.
[01:16.520 -> 01:19.320] So yeah, F1 with Geet is what I have.
[01:20.080 -> 01:20.920] Nice, lovely.
[01:21.160 -> 01:22.560] So yeah, folks, go check him out.
[01:23.040 -> 01:24.640] We are F1 Fan Fiction.
[01:24.640 -> 01:26.240] And let's get into the episode.
[01:26.240 -> 01:32.000] The most action that anyone has gotten out of this whole weekend is turn 15.
[01:32.000 -> 01:35.720] So much of brushing, so much of touching, so much of banging.
[01:35.720 -> 01:38.000] Lovely. Everyone else was just sleeping.
[01:38.000 -> 01:41.720] What was your take on the weekend? How was the weekend for you all?
[01:41.720 -> 01:47.160] We talk about the weekend in terms of the setup of the weekend or the format of the weekend. I think Formula One has its
[01:47.160 -> 01:52.040] own frenzy. Whoever comes in like for example this time some Stefano Domenicani
[01:52.040 -> 01:56.320] came and he said that the weekend's bit boring etc. A couple of other
[01:56.320 -> 02:00.080] drivers supported him as well. I think there's a split between drivers
[02:00.080 -> 02:07.080] if they like it or not. I've heard Aston Martin's Lance Stroll like it and if
[02:07.080 -> 02:13.000] we go to Alexander Albon, he doesn't like it. But anyways, fairly I'm
[02:13.000 -> 02:17.000] speaking so probably I'll put my point forward. I like the chaos more but I'm
[02:17.000 -> 02:21.440] more of a purist guy because I'm a mechanical engineer so I'm more
[02:21.440 -> 02:27.520] prone towards engineering background. For me I like more FP2 and FP3 as boring as it can be.
[02:27.920 -> 02:28.960] I like that more.
[02:30.040 -> 02:34.000] Other than that, if we compare apples to apples, I think from last time,
[02:34.000 -> 02:38.640] 2022, we had a weekend where qualifying set up the grid for the sprint and
[02:38.640 -> 02:41.720] sprint made the grid for the race.
[02:42.560 -> 02:43.600] I like the concept more.
[02:43.920 -> 02:47.820] I like the enthusiasm more. There was a reason why I want to see the
[02:47.820 -> 02:50.420] sprint. I mean, there's a reason right now as well in terms of
[02:50.420 -> 02:54.380] the points. But there was an eventual reason that something
[02:54.380 -> 02:57.460] bigger than sprint will happen later in the weekend. So
[02:57.460 -> 03:00.640] probably I was really excited about it. The only glitch that I
[03:00.640 -> 03:04.420] probably found there was the FP2 session, which doesn't make
[03:04.420 -> 03:05.300] sense. Hear me out.
[03:05.700 -> 03:08.680] So what happens is a park for me is another condition that
[03:08.980 -> 03:10.340] every team has to go through.
[03:10.680 -> 03:13.380] So I'm the power for me conditions, like imagine it's a normal weekend,
[03:13.380 -> 03:15.300] not among any of these six weekends.
[03:15.300 -> 03:18.580] So what happens is generally, so FP1 happens, if we do happens, if we three
[03:18.580 -> 03:23.780] happens, if we all three owns a team, imagine we owns AlphaTauri being modest.
[03:24.100 -> 03:26.000] So what happens is we can set up a
[03:26.000 -> 03:33.180] car as much as we want. But in the beginning of the Q1, so as the as the time begins for
[03:33.180 -> 03:38.400] Q1, we have to put our car in park for me conditions irrespective it's in our garage
[03:38.400 -> 03:50.760] or it's actually in a park for me. When we go from a qualifying last year 2022 if we go from a qualifying session to an FP2 session we can adjust things right because again we're not in
[03:50.760 -> 03:56.040] Park4Meh we are in a private session but then because qualifying is where the
[03:56.040 -> 03:59.860] money is the qualifying is where everybody teams every team like loses
[03:59.860 -> 04:03.080] their sandbags and come up with their guns blazing so we could understand that
[04:03.080 -> 04:06.760] what's the setup etc etc even in the single lap pace we could understand who
[04:06.760 -> 04:10.400] was doing what better we could set up a car in a certain sense and then go into
[04:10.400 -> 04:14.100] the sprint qualifying sprint as well and then ultimately the race but coming back
[04:14.100 -> 04:19.420] here I think they've like like we were talking before Akash I think what they've
[04:19.420 -> 04:24.180] selected is like Azerbaijan I think that Austria this Belgium Qatar USA in quota
[04:24.180 -> 04:28.840] and then in Brazil I don't get the point of a sprint race in Belgium,
[04:29.680 -> 04:30.520] and Brazil.
[04:31.520 -> 04:34.080] They're going to do a whole long ass race in spa.
[04:35.160 -> 04:36.320] That's so stupid, man.
[04:37.440 -> 04:40.720] Exactly. I mean, they might have as well put in Singapore.
[04:43.640 -> 04:46.000] I don't understand the placement of these probably money
[04:46.000 -> 04:52.320] because everything is ending up in money. Exactly. So they probably have paid more.
[04:52.320 -> 04:57.360] One thing I kind of liked about this format is that I don't have to care
[04:57.360 -> 05:00.800] about the sprint race much because it doesn't affect the actual race in terms
[05:00.800 -> 05:05.700] of the grid. But the bad thing is that it gives away what's gonna
[05:05.700 -> 05:09.340] happen in the main race but then again you can just skip that race and then
[05:09.340 -> 05:13.940] avoid you know but dude like this whole weekend to be honest was more like you
[05:13.940 -> 05:19.500] know how boomers have struggled their time with latest tech it was like me
[05:19.500 -> 05:23.220] trying to figure out what the fuck is happening this weekend there's gonna be
[05:23.220 -> 05:26.200] a sprint wait there's gonna be another sprint, wait, there's going to be another sprint.
[05:26.240 -> 05:29.080] No, but that one's called a shootout, but then there's going to be a race,
[05:29.640 -> 05:31.280] but then that one doesn't count.
[05:31.520 -> 05:34.160] So I'm like, I don't understand what's happening.
[05:34.240 -> 05:35.200] Yeah. I was so confused.
[05:35.200 -> 05:39.840] There was a qualification on day one and then day two is entirely sprint day.
[05:40.240 -> 05:43.600] And then like, again, we resume with the race, with the qualification
[05:43.600 -> 05:45.160] that happened one day before.
[05:45.560 -> 05:46.720] And I'm like, wait, what's going on?
[05:46.720 -> 05:48.600] Which qualification is for which grade?
[05:48.600 -> 05:49.400] What's going on?
[05:49.560 -> 05:51.680] Eventually, I'm constantly asking him questions, Akash.
[05:51.920 -> 05:53.480] Like, Akash, tell me what's going on.
[05:53.480 -> 05:54.760] I don't know what's going on.
[05:54.880 -> 05:58.240] Eventually us oldies figured out what was happening.
[05:58.280 -> 06:00.040] But man, why?
[06:00.080 -> 06:00.680] Why?
[06:00.840 -> 06:07.840] I think a couple of days back, Lawrence Perretto wrote a blog or an article on the formula1.com
[06:07.840 -> 06:08.840] itself.
[06:08.840 -> 06:15.600] So he actually explained the sprint shootout in the sprint race as a version of T20, but
[06:15.600 -> 06:16.680] in Formula 1.
[06:16.680 -> 06:19.680] I've never seen a T20 in between of a test and an ODI.
[06:19.680 -> 06:22.680] Dude, where are you getting this Lawrence Barreto from?
[06:22.680 -> 06:23.680] Why not?
[06:23.680 -> 06:30.000] The question that we are supposed to ask is, but why not? Just because. So, sure.
[06:30.000 -> 06:36.000] But, crazy weekend in terms of like a few things that did happen at least in terms of some action.
[06:36.000 -> 06:37.000] Few things, yeah.
[06:37.000 -> 06:45.800] Yeah, did we get to see. Let's start off with like RBR because Perez, king of street circuit, holds that title. Street fighter.
[06:45.800 -> 06:46.800] Continues to do that.
[06:46.800 -> 06:47.800] Street fighter.
[06:47.800 -> 06:50.280] Brilliant drive from him, to be honest.
[06:50.280 -> 06:51.280] Yeah, man.
[06:51.280 -> 06:52.280] You know what?
[06:52.280 -> 06:56.040] He has five of his wins out of six are on street circuits.
[06:56.040 -> 06:57.040] Yeah, right.
[06:57.040 -> 06:58.040] Yeah, except Baryon.
[06:58.040 -> 06:59.040] Except Baryon, exactly.
[06:59.040 -> 07:05.000] By the way, Ayrton Senna has won more races in Monaco.
[07:05.000 -> 07:13.000] Ayrton Senna, Mr. Monaco has won more races in Monaco itself than Charleclec in the entirety.
[07:13.000 -> 07:16.000] I mean, coming back, sorry, I couldn't compare Charleclec to Monaco.
[07:16.000 -> 07:26.160] But what I'm just trying to say is that if we take, if we're calling anybody a master hero in terms of a track or a series of track, I think it's too soon for Shekho.
[07:26.160 -> 07:27.480] Sorry, sorry, the whole world.
[07:27.480 -> 07:30.960] Nobody but Geet is saying this that Shekho is not a street racer.
[07:30.960 -> 07:32.440] I'm so sorry. It's too soon for Shekho.
[07:32.440 -> 07:36.200] I mean, come on, just six wins.
[07:36.200 -> 07:39.400] Are we that mad to call?
[07:39.400 -> 07:41.640] Five out of those six are on the street circuit.
[07:41.640 -> 07:42.440] Right?
[07:42.440 -> 07:43.560] Just by numbers.
[07:43.560 -> 07:45.320] Have we never seen Formula One before?
[07:45.800 -> 07:46.640] I mean, no, right?
[07:47.000 -> 07:47.520] No, we haven't.
[07:47.520 -> 07:51.320] Do you forget, do you forget people's memories these days doesn't last long.
[07:51.360 -> 07:54.320] So, you know, you have to, you have to keep that in context.
[07:55.120 -> 07:55.280] Yeah.
[07:55.280 -> 07:57.880] Like everything else in Formula One is happening for only two people.
[07:57.880 -> 07:59.760] I think the Gen Z's and Americans.
[08:01.360 -> 08:01.920] Exactly.
[08:02.520 -> 08:09.000] No, but at least I want to say a sentence there. At least a good touch point on Ayyattin Sena.
[08:09.000 -> 08:18.000] I mean, we record this on a day when he died. 1st May 1994. So, at least a good reference there.
[08:18.000 -> 08:20.000] That gave me goosebumps.
[08:20.000 -> 08:25.400] So, since you were talking about Charles, I really wanted to point out, and I
[08:25.400 -> 08:27.480] think you were talking about this just a bit ago,
[08:27.480 -> 08:29.720] that how many races has he won?
[08:29.720 -> 08:32.560] Please, please, please enlighten our audience.
[08:32.560 -> 08:33.060] Five.
[08:33.060 -> 08:36.400] How many qualifications did he win?
[08:36.400 -> 08:39.120] So he's won 19 pole positions till now.
[08:39.120 -> 08:39.760] Awesome.
[08:39.760 -> 08:40.320] Awesome.
[08:40.320 -> 08:44.160] That's a very nice conversion rate.
[08:44.160 -> 08:45.000] Still learning learning man.
[08:45.000 -> 08:52.000] It feels to me like they should just have a consolation prize every time for Sharlz.
[08:52.000 -> 08:55.000] And every time he just finishes the race, they should give it to him like,
[08:55.000 -> 08:57.000] Come son.
[08:57.000 -> 09:02.000] I think so sorry, Sharlik now is taking a page from the playbook.
[09:02.000 -> 09:06.960] The playbook of Bani Stinson from How I Met Your Mother.
[09:06.960 -> 09:10.960] As long as you've been rejected, always try by winning.
[09:13.840 -> 09:17.680] The more the number of ask, the more number of knocks probably.
[09:19.760 -> 09:25.360] At some point he'll get there. But before the weekend began, I don't know why I tuned in.
[09:25.360 -> 09:29.440] But I tuned in to… I usually don't. But the pre-race discussions and everything.
[09:29.440 -> 09:34.400] And Brendel actually called out saying, he is rooting for Charles to have a brilliant weekend this weekend.
[09:34.400 -> 09:36.560] He probably sees him on the pole. Which turned out true.
[09:36.560 -> 09:42.320] Unfortunately, it didn't end that way. It was a smooth overtake by the Red Bulls.
[09:42.320 -> 09:52.140] I mean, no fight at all. In fact, I feel like, even if the DRS wasn't there, it was just a matter of time that the Red Bulls would have overtaken.
[09:52.140 -> 09:54.240] It also felt to me like Perez was toying with him.
[09:54.240 -> 09:58.560] Because if you saw, both the overtakes that he did on Charles were exactly the same.
[09:58.560 -> 10:04.520] Pushing him towards the wall and then overtaking him from the inside.
[10:04.520 -> 10:07.560] It was awesome like there's
[10:07.560 -> 10:13.320] no defense that he could give. Right right awesome I think about Martin
[10:13.320 -> 10:18.920] Brundle I think he's the Ekta Kapoor of Fom Lavan. He always try to masala daar
[10:18.920 -> 10:23.680] everything that happens on Fom Lavan as a great but yeah I mean I mean I started
[10:23.680 -> 10:25.280] for I mean I started taking
[10:25.280 -> 10:30.240] Martin Brundle seriously I think in February this year just this February is
[10:30.240 -> 10:35.760] the only reason is I because he was the first person in my ears. These Aston
[10:35.760 -> 10:41.320] Martin becoming good was virgin to my ears because I thought if Sebastian
[10:41.320 -> 10:45.440] Vettel couldn't do it who the hell is Alonzo? Sebastian Vettel for me is the God.
[10:50.480 -> 10:54.320] I'm a pro Sebastian Vettel fan but you know, hear me out. I like Alonzo as well. Please don't turn off the podcast right now.
[10:55.520 -> 11:01.040] You guys are putting a lot of effort. Relax. Just saying it and subscribe me not to them.
[11:04.880 -> 11:06.360] I just don't know.
[11:06.360 -> 11:10.320] So, so Martin Marendel predicted to me, I mean, for me, Martin Marendel predicted first.
[11:10.320 -> 11:11.840] So I just started thinking seriously.
[11:11.840 -> 11:16.080] So yes, yes, Charlotte Clegg is, I mean, the Ferrari was, Ferrari was good this
[11:16.080 -> 11:19.760] weekend, but became exceptional because Charlotte Clegg was in it.
[11:19.920 -> 11:20.400] That's true.
[11:20.480 -> 11:20.720] Yeah.
[11:20.960 -> 11:24.400] And like, contrary to that science we saw, he was struggling, right?
[11:24.400 -> 11:27.500] He was what, 20 seconds seconds behind and something like that.
[11:27.500 -> 11:31.000] And Hamilton was right on his back almost throughout the race.
[11:31.000 -> 11:38.120] So, yeah. The Ferrari was there. But I think it was Charles' performance that got him P3, very honestly.
[11:38.120 -> 11:46.200] And I think, combined with that, with no f**k ups from Ferrari. At least what they were making...
[11:46.200 -> 11:47.400] That's commendable.
[11:47.400 -> 11:50.400] Exactly. No, that is also an achievement, right?
[11:50.400 -> 11:54.200] Because for them, it takes the whole village to f**k up everything.
[11:54.200 -> 11:58.200] But this time, they were the Hamsaat Saata types, right?
[11:58.200 -> 11:59.800] So, everything was good.
[11:59.800 -> 12:06.160] But from that start, I think the other thing that stood out for me was Piastri's squeeze.
[12:06.160 -> 12:16.320] Because out of everything, there was this good copter cam view where they were talking about how Gasly probably touched Piastri's rear and stuff.
[12:16.320 -> 12:20.800] And I was like, why and what happened? But it turns out, Piastri was bold to move.
[12:20.800 -> 12:29.800] I think turn 2 or turn 3, it was a tight corner and he chose to pick one of those hard 90-degree turns as an overtake.
[12:29.800 -> 12:32.500] And he got it for himself. Brilliant move.
[12:32.500 -> 12:39.600] I think on the point of good moves, what do you think about Russell and Vestappere?
[12:39.600 -> 12:41.800] Oh, man.
[12:41.800 -> 12:43.120] Oh, man.
[12:43.120 -> 12:47.200] The drama... The only thing left was...
[12:47.200 -> 12:52.440] Because you mentioned Ekta Kapoor, the only thing playing in my head is like that background music...
[12:52.440 -> 12:58.080] Which is scintillating and angry at the same time.
[12:58.080 -> 13:06.580] Oh man... And especially the fact of them arguing about it after the re-election.
[13:06.580 -> 13:07.500] Oh, that was awesome, man.
[13:07.500 -> 13:09.860] Where Russell is trying to justify…
[13:09.860 -> 13:12.380] Okay, so, hang on. Let's come back to the incident.
[13:12.380 -> 13:17.200] Basically, I think, turn… And this was also maybe turn 3-ish, if I am not wrong.
[13:17.200 -> 13:20.780] Turn 2 or turn 3. Clearly, this is again…
[13:20.780 -> 13:26.760] Now, my opinion, Urvastapan was ahead. He had the right of way, so to say.
[13:27.240 -> 13:34.160] But Russell probably had lesser grip, which only his car had and others didn't, apparently.
[13:34.880 -> 13:38.680] And then he nudges into Vastapan and knocks off.
[13:39.080 -> 13:40.200] Good. Did I hear it right?
[13:40.200 -> 13:41.720] So you're saying Vastapan was right?
[13:42.280 -> 13:42.800] Yeah.
[13:44.360 -> 13:45.680] Vastapan was right calling Russell a was right? Yeah. I am saying...
[13:45.680 -> 13:46.880] Was Vestappen right calling Russell a dickhead?
[13:46.880 -> 13:48.520] Yeah.
[13:48.520 -> 13:49.240] Was he right?
[13:49.240 -> 13:50.440] No. No. No.
[13:50.440 -> 13:52.000] So, I am on that...
[13:52.000 -> 13:52.720] Let's have the conversation.
[13:52.720 -> 13:54.120] Yes. This is beautiful.
[13:54.120 -> 13:55.840] So, on that incident...
[13:55.840 -> 13:56.640] Wait. Let me grab my popcorn.
[13:56.640 -> 14:01.360] On that incident, let's put all technicalities aside.
[14:01.360 -> 14:06.880] Because from an aggression point of view, yes, Russell had lack of grip.
[14:06.880 -> 14:16.560] It was just turn 3 from restart. And it is a repeat of incident what happened between Hamilton and Red Bull and West Happen was thrown off at 51 Gs.
[14:16.560 -> 14:30.760] It was exactly that. But in terms of pure race line and who had the right of way, if we don't take the grip and everything into account, it was Westapen who was ahead at the point, at the turn when they turned it to each other.
[14:30.760 -> 14:39.160] So, yeah, once you start taking all variables into account, sure, everyone's at fault.
[14:39.160 -> 14:51.760] Sorry, I'm so sorry. We live in a world and whatever we're doing right now, it's called life. So I mean, I think I don't want to say karma is a bitch, but it is.
[14:52.520 -> 14:56.000] Coming back to the point of view, I'm not even considering karma at this point in time.
[14:56.000 -> 14:59.720] Look, everybody's tires were at the same temperature at that point in time.
[14:59.880 -> 15:00.080] Yeah.
[15:00.080 -> 15:00.360] Right.
[15:00.720 -> 15:05.440] Though everybody's tires were cold as maximum temperature of whatever the blanket was.
[15:05.440 -> 15:08.480] Because it was just a couple of turns. I think it was turn 2 itself.
[15:08.480 -> 15:11.840] But again, because I don't have that sharp memory right now.
[15:11.840 -> 15:18.240] So I just go out and say that, look, I understand that probably the penalty was not given to Russell
[15:18.240 -> 15:21.840] only because it was a turn 1 incident and not probably any other incident.
[15:21.840 -> 15:26.360] Because FIA generally in their right mind, Jenny doesn't give
[15:26.360 -> 15:27.680] out penalties for the first lap.
[15:30.240 -> 15:34.200] Coming back to the scenario, I really think that, uh, I do get the point
[15:34.200 -> 15:38.800] that turning left, I think was tapping was ahead, but it was nowhere.
[15:39.480 -> 15:48.640] In, in, in, in the racing ideologies, as much as racing I've seen is wrong. I think it's a very good incident,
[15:48.640 -> 15:55.280] good thing that both these races happened at the same time. We should go out and see the
[15:55.280 -> 16:07.720] MotoGP race that happened in Spain this weekend itself. So in that, the current reigning world champion, Peko, had a very similar incident
[16:07.720 -> 16:12.320] where Peko was about to hit the other rider,
[16:12.320 -> 16:13.840] and he was about to collide.
[16:13.840 -> 16:15.960] But the penalty was not given because, again, it
[16:15.960 -> 16:17.600] was a first lap incident.
[16:17.600 -> 16:22.320] So the bike went unbalanced, but he
[16:22.320 -> 16:23.760] controlled the bike the other guy,
[16:23.760 -> 16:26.180] and then Peko also controlled his bike again coming back to the
[16:26.180 -> 16:29.160] Whole scenario it was neither Peko's fault neither the other guys fault
[16:29.300 -> 16:33.900] The tires were cold there as well coming back to our scenario in Formula One right on that we're talking about
[16:34.220 -> 16:38.600] Verstappen versus Russell. I didn't know I didn't think I don't think that
[16:39.120 -> 16:42.620] Verstappen was right. I didn't I don't think Russell was wrong
[16:42.620 -> 16:47.200] I think it was a racing incident as Michael Messi Messi says, Toto will be well-tracing.
[16:48.200 -> 16:48.520] Yeah.
[16:48.640 -> 16:55.640] Yeah. That's why I said, if you bring in all the variables, I mean, everyone's to blame because it can't be one person's fault.
[16:56.120 -> 16:59.800] But we are here to put oil into fire. Remember that.
[18:00.000 -> 18:07.960] Exactly. I don't care who was at fault. I enjoyed all the drama that happened. आपको अपने अपने पर ज़्यादा था। जब वो अपने पर ज़्यादा था, जब वो अपने पर ज़्यादा था। इसलिए इरूक, इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इसलिए इं जब रसल ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने ने �को प्रेशा कैसे डाला? वो प्रेशा नहीं चाहते था, अगर वो बहुत बड़ा रूसल नहीं था, पर रॉसल बहुत बलकी था. मैखल शुमाकर डेविड कूठाल. I think Michael Schumacher, David Kuthal. It should have happened.
[18:07.960 -> 18:13.840] But on that same note, I somehow feel that...
[18:13.840 -> 18:17.360] What safety car was this?
[18:17.360 -> 18:20.480] But after one of the safety cars during the main race,
[18:20.480 -> 18:31.300] at race restart, there's a brilliant race restart that Perez has done. Russell and Max are somehow, you know, next to each other.
[18:31.300 -> 18:47.500] Max is brilliant at this point. Like, he's almost pulled up so close that he's just behind the car and the racing line. But I think what I saw was he pushes him out as so much that it sabotages his race.
[18:47.500 -> 18:52.500] And Alonso probably has a firing line behind him to also do an overtake on him.
[18:52.500 -> 19:00.240] So, I think he was trying to show, I can also push you out if I want to. But let's not do that and come.
[19:00.240 -> 19:03.840] But anyways, Max has a hot head, blah, blah, blah. It's a story.
[19:03.840 -> 19:05.600] The real Red Bull. The real Red Bull.
[19:05.600 -> 19:07.440] The real Red Bull.
[19:07.440 -> 19:20.600] I mean, I think, looking at this, I think, now it's safe to say that everybody, everybody who is an underdog is promoting Checo for the win for this championship.
[19:20.600 -> 19:30.240] Look at what Nick DeVries did to help Dzeko. At the right time, at the right point, Nick DeVries is this race, Nelson Piquet Jr.
[19:30.240 -> 19:31.360] Yes.
[19:31.360 -> 19:55.920] But it was exactly that. I don't know. On that same note, I don't know why, if it did help or if they were thinking, what they were thinking, but calling Max into the pits for the pit stop, which eventually probably ruined his race, if they would have stayed for the safety car.
[19:56.760 -> 19:58.560] I think the result would have been a bit different.
[19:59.000 -> 20:00.520] No, but it was not their fault.
[20:00.640 -> 20:01.360] Sorry, sorry, sorry.
[20:01.360 -> 20:02.760] You're not spoken for a long time.
[20:02.760 -> 20:03.260] Go for it.
[20:02.720 -> 20:03.520] their fault. Sorry, sorry, sorry. You're not spoken for a long time. Go for it.
[20:03.520 -> 20:04.520] You know something?
[20:04.520 -> 20:05.520] It's your podcast.
[20:06.720 -> 20:09.680] A lot of people are like kind of give, not giving credit,
[20:09.680 -> 20:12.840] but kind of taking away credit from Paris saying that because of the safety car,
[20:12.840 -> 20:13.880] he was able to win the race.
[20:14.200 -> 20:17.760] But I kind of disagree with that because even he said that in fact,
[20:17.760 -> 20:21.800] in his interview was that, uh, yes, like Max pitted at that point,
[20:21.800 -> 20:24.280] but it was because I was putting pressure on him.
[20:24.600 -> 20:28.600] That's why they had to neutralize that situation and pit him.
[20:29.320 -> 20:34.320] So it is kind of still his credit that he was able to bring the fight
[20:34.320 -> 20:38.760] to Max and pressurize him and his team into pitting, which kind of, you know,
[20:38.760 -> 20:42.280] backfired. So still credit to him for, you know,
[20:42.280 -> 20:44.880] Nice theory. I buy into it. Nice theory.
[20:45.040 -> 20:48.480] Right. So, I think the same.
[20:48.480 -> 20:50.640] And I am with Sarang and Perez there.
[20:50.640 -> 20:56.400] Like in T20 cricket, wherever you can get runs from, just go for it.
[20:56.400 -> 20:57.200] Yeah. Exactly.
[20:57.200 -> 20:58.480] And take it on your collar.
[20:58.480 -> 21:09.020] On to a different note, what was all the big brother type behavior happening in the Aston Martin camp?
[21:09.020 -> 21:09.920] While driving, right?
[21:09.920 -> 21:16.100] Did Alonzo... Did anyone tell him he was at the race or he was just,
[21:16.100 -> 21:20.560] I am just driving around, people are front and back, let's do this.
[21:20.560 -> 21:21.940] You want to try? Go try.
[21:21.940 -> 21:25.040] Go try this brake balance. Yeah yeah this is working very well.
[21:27.280 -> 21:34.080] Putting some point on that, I think we need to give credit to
[21:34.080 -> 21:39.680] Fernando Alonso, the most experienced guy on the grid first. Second, I've heard and I've
[21:40.400 -> 21:46.440] seen drivers commenting on multiple things while driving. I mean it was just
[21:46.440 -> 21:50.020] the Australian Grand Prix where Alonso pointed out that go and check out
[21:50.020 -> 21:56.000] falana falana race I think 2021. Other than the point as well I've seen
[21:56.000 -> 22:00.620] multiple times driver while driving while all that pressure I mean just to
[22:00.620 -> 22:10.400] put a brake in the corner you I'm sure you have seen, because you guys follow more closely than I probably, but there's so much work in
[22:10.400 -> 22:13.240] the cockpit and then they still see the screen up there.
[22:13.240 -> 22:15.480] And then like, where is the position of that guy?
[22:15.480 -> 22:18.120] Why is that guy behind that much second of that driver?
[22:20.000 -> 22:21.160] But still they do it.
[22:21.240 -> 22:24.680] Ultimately, what I'm just trying to mention is Fernando, the fantastic beast.
[22:24.960 -> 22:26.480] It's second self now.
[22:26.840 -> 22:27.200] Yeah.
[22:27.360 -> 22:27.560] Yeah.
[22:27.560 -> 22:27.760] Yeah.
[22:27.760 -> 22:28.000] Yeah.
[22:28.080 -> 22:32.360] How we blink, breathe and swallow our own saliva.
[22:32.520 -> 22:35.240] It's the same thing for Fernando Alonso on tracks.
[22:35.560 -> 22:38.480] Dude, he strategizes for his entire team.
[22:38.520 -> 22:39.360] Not just himself.
[22:39.360 -> 22:39.680] Not just himself.
[22:39.680 -> 22:41.440] For his entire team while he drives.
[22:41.440 -> 22:41.680] Even for Stroll.
[22:42.000 -> 22:42.320] Yeah.
[22:42.680 -> 22:51.000] Because the beauty was, right? And where I lost it, to be honest, on him was the fact that Stroll said it out publicly that,
[22:51.000 -> 22:56.000] Hey, tell him I'm not gonna attack. So, it's fine. He can do whatever he wants.
[22:56.000 -> 22:59.000] But then Alonzo says, he can have a go at it if he wants.
[22:59.000 -> 23:00.000] Exactly. Yeah.
[23:00.000 -> 23:05.680] And to build on that, he also says, you know what, these tires are wearing off.
[23:05.680 -> 23:10.800] And then he says, don't worry about it because Hamilton is also going to start having graining soon.
[23:10.800 -> 23:12.160] And we will catch him.
[23:12.160 -> 23:16.640] Like he's already thought not just this lap, but like 10 laps ahead.
[23:16.640 -> 23:17.920] And that happened by the way.
[23:17.920 -> 23:19.200] That's exactly what happened.
[23:19.200 -> 23:20.160] It did.
[23:20.160 -> 23:21.920] Chef's kiss, dude.
[23:21.920 -> 23:23.920] Such brilliant thinking.
[23:23.920 -> 23:28.640] Oh my God, chef's kiss. Nice. Amazing.
[23:28.640 -> 23:33.080] I think, before Hamilton, I mean, the sabbatical that Alonso took,
[23:33.080 -> 23:37.880] all the break that he had just prior to joining the Renault again,
[23:37.880 -> 23:39.480] or Alpine at that point in time.
[23:39.480 -> 23:43.160] I think, we only thought that Lewis Hamilton is a master arrow.
[23:43.160 -> 23:44.160] Yeah.
[23:44.160 -> 23:45.700] But, coming back, I think, when Checo Lewis Hamilton is a master. Yeah, but that's coming back.
[23:45.700 -> 23:50.900] I think when Checo Perez start doing things like this on street circuit, I will think
[23:50.900 -> 23:53.900] he's a street racer or whatever people are calling him.
[23:53.900 -> 23:54.700] Not right now.
[23:56.400 -> 23:56.900] Stats.
[23:57.300 -> 24:02.400] First people came, then people did stuff, then stories happened like because people
[24:02.400 -> 24:02.800] did stuff.
[24:02.800 -> 24:09.380] So it was stories and then from stories, there were some guys sitting aloof in the dark, like 6 hours looking at just all those stories,
[24:09.380 -> 24:11.680] pointed on some numbers and those were facts.
[24:11.680 -> 24:16.760] Seriously. Facts do not design life. Facts do not design stuff.
[24:16.760 -> 24:21.060] I love this definition of stats. This is amazing.
[24:21.060 -> 24:25.640] How stats began. 101 by Geet.
[24:30.560 -> 24:33.080] And again, just five races. Relax.
[24:33.080 -> 24:33.400] Yeah.
[24:33.760 -> 24:35.520] How many races has he driven?
[24:35.560 -> 24:39.720] I think he started with Force India itself, 2011.
[24:39.760 -> 24:41.760] Probably. I don't remember. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[24:41.760 -> 24:42.320] Some other...
[24:42.720 -> 24:44.160] He started from wherever he took it.
[24:44.160 -> 25:10.340] But ultimately, it's been what? 12-13 एर जैको जा रहा है और जब 6 विन्स है। जब जैको जा रहा है तो वो एक प्रशादाद बड़ा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बादा बा I know that Chekho has all the credit. But still, relax. Relax. Exactly. It's like, you know, everybody loves our underdog.
[25:10.340 -> 25:14.000] But they are probably overselling him at this point.
[25:14.000 -> 25:20.480] They want Chekho to go for a win. Go for a blow at Max Verstappen.
[25:20.480 -> 25:27.880] By the way, is there information revealed if Stroll did make the change that Alonzo suggested?
[25:27.880 -> 25:30.300] Did they reveal it? I never found it.
[25:30.300 -> 25:37.460] I don't know. But right after Alonzo said that, he had that moment going into...
[25:37.460 -> 25:41.760] I don't remember what corner that was. Hamilton was chasing him.
[25:41.760 -> 25:46.800] So, I don't know. Actually, honestly, right after that, I thought it was Alonzo trolling him.
[25:46.800 -> 25:55.120] Yeah. Because it felt like... So, his car went all bonkers. Stroll's car went all bonkers and Hamilton overtook and everything.
[25:55.120 -> 26:05.840] But it was probably a PTSD moment also for him because he was going to repeat last year's tyre burst situation exactly at that same point.
[26:18.720 -> 26:21.360] It takes a truly legendary weekend to have two qualifying and two races and still three people who followed the race so deeply has this to talk about.
[26:22.560 -> 26:24.240] Exactly dude.
[26:29.000 -> 26:33.000] I mean, I'm so sorry. I, I probably have skipped it. I was snoozing. I mean, come on, yeah. This race was, what?
[26:33.000 -> 26:35.000] Exactly.
[26:35.000 -> 26:40.000] No, but we are, have you seen that meme where
[26:40.000 -> 26:44.000] Shihab Ubegulf is like pulling stuff out of like it's magic, right?
[26:44.000 -> 26:45.280] That thing and then, so we are literally pulling stuff out of our asses right now. शिया बुवे वुल्फ पूलेंग वाला जाना है कि यह जब जब वाला जाना है, वह प्रशाँत है। वह वाला जाना है।
[26:45.280 -> 26:48.640] तो हम बहुत बात पूलेंग वाला जाना हैं जब वह बात पूलेंग वाला जाना है।
[26:48.640 -> 26:52.560] क्योंकि वाला जाना है जिसकों पर आप बहुत बात पूलेंग वाला जाना हैं।
[26:52.560 -> 26:55.120] हम खाने के बात नहीं करें, हम खाली धकारों के बात करें।
[26:55.120 -> 26:56.120] मुझे बात करते हैं।
[26:56.120 -> 26:59.520] इसको था ही नहीं था।
[26:59.520 -> 27:04.160] वह बहुत बात पूलेंग है।
[27:04.160 -> 27:05.000] या, वह बहुत बात पूलेंग है। There is. Oh, yeah. Splitting it. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah.
[27:05.000 -> 27:08.880] I mean, it was, I think it was 17th.
[27:08.880 -> 27:14.440] If you go and check out the Formula One's official highlight of this race as well, after
[27:14.440 -> 27:18.600] 17 laps, there is 119 lap and 32nd lap and Checo wins.
[27:18.600 -> 27:20.600] Out of 50 laps.
[27:20.600 -> 27:21.600] That's true.
[27:21.600 -> 27:22.600] That's true.
[27:22.600 -> 27:26.940] Look at these highlights. If you think about it, right?
[27:26.940 -> 27:31.740] All F1 stuff, like Formula and Formula Dank.
[27:31.740 -> 27:33.380] All they've been running is...
[27:33.380 -> 27:38.740] Before the race, it was all gossip about Red Bull versus...
[27:38.740 -> 27:40.940] Max versus Russell.
[27:40.940 -> 27:41.980] Right?
[27:41.980 -> 27:47.640] Then now, it's all about how Alonzo sabotage like it's it's
[27:47.640 -> 27:57.920] only formed in a gossip way dude like formula one has turned. Do you not know the world runs on gossip? That's true. I used I somehow at times like
[27:57.920 -> 28:05.000] these just miss Bernie Eccleston man I'm like bring back bring back back, bring out the sprinklers.
[28:05.000 -> 28:06.000] Exactly.
[28:06.000 -> 28:08.000] Bring out the sprinklers.
[28:08.000 -> 28:10.000] What a combination.
[28:10.000 -> 28:13.000] Let's bring in Bernie Akustin and Michael Macy together.
[28:13.000 -> 28:14.000] Oh, wow.
[28:14.000 -> 28:20.000] And then Charlie Whiting as well.
[28:20.000 -> 28:23.000] Do you need oil to put out fire?
[28:23.000 -> 28:24.000] Let's try.
[28:24.000 -> 28:27.840] Oh my God. Oh my god.
[28:27.840 -> 28:28.440] Oh my god.
[28:28.440 -> 28:30.120] All kudos to Yuki Sonoda.
[28:30.120 -> 28:32.520] By the way, an interesting theory on the same point
[28:32.520 -> 28:34.160] that Sarang was.
[28:34.160 -> 28:37.800] If DRS was there to improve overtakes,
[28:37.800 -> 28:40.080] why is it used in qualifying?
[28:40.080 -> 28:41.240] Yeah.
[28:41.240 -> 28:42.800] Good point.
[28:42.800 -> 28:44.040] Push as much as you want.
[28:44.040 -> 28:44.520] Yeah.
[28:44.520 -> 28:46.000] Push as much as you can. But, push as much as you can.
[28:46.000 -> 28:47.840] But then, I mean, what's the point?
[28:47.840 -> 28:49.440] What's the point?
[28:52.320 -> 28:55.840] I think it's mainly because they just want to make qualifying
[28:57.200 -> 29:00.280] like just go all out as much as you can.
[29:00.280 -> 29:05.760] And basically, when the DRS is off, you are kind of limiting the performance by something.
[29:05.760 -> 29:11.120] So you know, go alone. Bring in chaos. What's the point of force DRS in Australian Grand Prix?
[29:12.160 -> 29:18.960] Oh, that was just DRS after DRS after DRS. So you know, just then just remove DRS entirely,
[29:18.960 -> 29:25.520] or just keep it on throughout like made no sense. I think let's how randomized penalty giving and
[29:25.520 -> 29:32.120] decisions of FI, DRS should also be like pick up the shit. Yeah this should be like a
[29:32.120 -> 29:36.760] randomized system that suddenly somebody gets a DRS for five minutes. Or you
[29:36.760 -> 29:40.880] know what happened what used to happen in Formula E before so fan boost. Oh yeah
[29:40.880 -> 29:45.000] the fan boost yeah. Yeah we should give a fan DRS as well.
[29:45.000 -> 29:48.000] Oh yeah, that would be fun.
[29:48.000 -> 29:55.000] If it was that way, if the DRS was controlled by fan voting, I am pretty sure only one person would get it.
[29:55.000 -> 29:58.000] Not this year, but last year. And that would be Mazapan.
[29:58.000 -> 30:01.000] He is the only guy that people would give the DRS to.
[30:01.000 -> 30:06.840] Oh, obviously. And this season, I am giving it to either Logan Sargent or Nick DeVries. Why only him?
[30:06.840 -> 30:11.840] The new spinners, right?
[30:11.840 -> 30:14.120] Spinella or Mazes.
[30:14.120 -> 30:16.800] That's where the entertainment is.
[30:16.800 -> 30:22.440] See, our other problem and we have called this out so much time, it's improved over time now.
[30:22.440 -> 30:47.800] The fact that they never show other drivers on camera. At least, this way, they will show what's happening there. इसे पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर प्रशाँच नहीं पर He's like, dad, give me some money. Dad didn't give me any money.
[30:47.800 -> 30:49.280] Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
[30:49.280 -> 30:56.840] Ultimately, the oil money is coming from somewhere in Britain itself.
[30:56.840 -> 30:57.520] And he was coming back.
[30:57.520 -> 30:57.720] Yeah.
[30:57.720 -> 31:00.880] But on point of some random stuff, right?
[31:00.880 -> 31:05.000] Like, while I was snoozingzing as much as I saw them the other
[31:05.000 -> 31:09.640] random stuff I saw was there's a cameraman and he's a handheld cameraman
[31:09.640 -> 31:16.520] right whose job is to basically first show the pre castle entrance section and
[31:16.520 -> 31:46.560] then right to the other end and show the other section I'm like is his only sole इस वालिया इस वालिया ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्याना ज़्य�ने ज़्यादा के लिए प्रवाद रहा है। मैं बोलता हूँ, ये भीचारा धूप में खड़ा है। अर्थेगोरा क्या बात रहा है? वो प्रवाद रहा है।
[31:47.240 -> 31:48.400] पर वाईस, वो वो बात है।
[31:50.040 -> 31:53.800] जब वो बात नहीं जाना था, और
[31:54.040 -> 31:58.280] मेकानिकल एंजिनेरिंग बैक्कराण और एक बाद बाद पर बात रहा है।
[32:05.000 -> 32:10.320] वो बाद बाद बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत बहुत � general. The female muscles were hotter than the male. Did you see that? It's true. No, but did you see also they were sort of like drooling on
[32:10.320 -> 32:16.320] Leclerc when like after the race, there is this frame where the marshals are standing after the Red Bull
[32:16.320 -> 32:22.720] engineers and Leclerc is walking to his engineers. There is this one chick who's constantly just staring at him.
[32:24.400 -> 32:27.280] I mean, you should see Leclerc and Monza. All the chicks.
[32:27.280 -> 32:30.440] Everybody look. Not Monza, sorry. Monaco.
[32:30.440 -> 32:31.640] Monaco, yeah.
[32:31.640 -> 32:34.680] I mean, that's where.
[32:34.680 -> 32:37.320] But his school pick is also like... Sorry.
[32:37.320 -> 32:41.680] See, that's all. His F1 pick is also like a school pick. Lance Strolls.
[32:41.680 -> 32:44.040] Anyways, a 7th standard kid.
[32:44.040 -> 32:45.280] You do that intensely, right?
[32:45.840 -> 32:48.880] Last episode also, you did this demolition Grand Prix.
[32:51.520 -> 33:06.880] And multiple times you did that. Guys, he's cracked it, I guess, right? Yeah. I don't know why you're not on more like commentary doing here and there.
[33:08.240 -> 33:10.760] Amazing. Oh my God.
[33:11.240 -> 33:13.880] I've not laughed like this since a long time.
[33:15.280 -> 33:21.400] Yeah, we hope everyone listening is also holding their stomachs with laughter.
[33:23.280 -> 33:26.000] Because we are having a blast. What else is happening?
[33:26.000 -> 33:28.000] Why were...
[33:28.000 -> 33:30.000] First of all,
[33:30.000 -> 33:32.000] Baku, last year, two tyres bursted.
[33:32.000 -> 33:34.000] People are worried about
[33:34.000 -> 33:36.000] the heat and the tyres.
[33:36.000 -> 33:38.000] And there were two legends
[33:38.000 -> 33:40.000] who waited for the last lap
[33:40.000 -> 33:42.000] to change their tyres.
[33:42.000 -> 33:44.000] Oh yes, of course.
[33:44.000 -> 33:47.440] Why? Because they can.
[33:48.160 -> 33:55.120] I'll tell you why. So according to the data, Pirelli increased the tire pressure by 1 psi.
[33:55.760 -> 34:01.280] So earlier it was 25 on the front and 23 at the back. Then it was increased by 1 psi,
[34:01.920 -> 34:07.440] 26 in the front and 24 at the back. So which reduces the tire
[34:07.440 -> 34:11.840] gaining temperature point of view because of the lack of contract and traction. But yes,
[34:11.840 -> 34:19.920] tire did grind a lot. Imagine if that wasn't the case that they would not have increased and
[34:19.920 -> 34:28.880] what would have been probably the case because a lot of people in turn, I mean, look at Lewis probably on lap 10th, he changed his tire.
[34:29.300 -> 34:32.840] Max Westap in one lap later, and then everybody changed it almost.
[34:34.120 -> 34:35.800] Barring a few legends.
[34:37.320 -> 34:38.080] Everybody changed.
[34:38.080 -> 34:39.640] So, yeah, I mean, that was the case.
[34:39.800 -> 34:43.760] So, some technical stuff, but yeah.
[34:43.880 -> 34:45.200] No, but that's interesting because I did not know that. So, some technical stuff. But yeah, coming back to physics.
[34:45.400 -> 34:46.800] No, but that's interesting because I did not know that.
[34:47.000 -> 34:52.000] And that makes some sense at least because they were both on hards.
[34:52.200 -> 34:54.400] So that helps them go longer.
[34:56.000 -> 35:00.800] But eventually we did saw, obviously, you know, physics do its thing.
[35:01.000 -> 35:03.400] Hulkenberg started dropping down the ranks.
[35:10.200 -> 35:18.700] do its thing. Hulkenberg started dropping down the ranks. It was sad somewhat because Norris was trying to overtake Hulkenberg for so long. He had a bit fresher tyres than him, obviously. But it was sad. I mean, bittersweet, eventually, he did get him and stuff.
[35:18.700 -> 35:28.580] But yeah, man, I don't know what's happening with McLaren. That much struggle is bad. McLaren has gone back to their Maconda days, man.
[35:28.580 -> 35:30.340] They are just sliding back.
[35:30.340 -> 35:30.840] GP2 engine?
[35:30.840 -> 35:32.040] GP2 engine, yes.
[35:32.040 -> 35:35.840] But I think McLaren will bounce back.
[35:35.840 -> 35:41.360] I understand. McLaren and Alpine are probably not at the places where they need to be.
[35:41.360 -> 35:49.600] I mean, if we look at the points table right now, McLaren is at 5th position and Alpine at 6th position out of, I don't know, how many points?
[35:49.600 -> 35:59.200] They are just at 14 and 8. I think Norris could score like 14 points in just one weekend. Now there are like 5 races all gone together.
[35:59.200 -> 36:07.200] I mean, including a sprint and McLaren still at 14 points. It was really sad for Alpine. I was really sad for Alpine more than McLaren.
[36:07.200 -> 36:09.520] I mean, Alpine had a disastrous weekend,
[36:09.520 -> 36:11.980] whatever bad could have happened, happened.
[36:11.980 -> 36:16.800] There was a fire, there was a gearbox failure,
[36:16.800 -> 36:19.800] there was accidents, there were pit lane starts.
[36:19.800 -> 36:22.280] I mean, and on both these drivers.
[36:22.280 -> 36:29.480] I mean, I think, yeah, I mean, France being France again, I think, happened with them
[36:29.480 -> 36:32.480] in probably World War II, not going that back.
[36:32.480 -> 36:33.480] Yeah.
[36:33.480 -> 36:42.200] But, so the radio messages were also on the dangerous side, right?
[36:42.200 -> 36:44.960] Like, because hope, hope actually is a very dangerous thing.
[36:44.960 -> 36:47.360] I forgot who said this, but actually is a very dangerous thing I forgot who said this but hope is a very dangerous thing
[36:47.360 -> 36:51.040] they were just being hopeful that there will be a safety car and he was just
[36:51.040 -> 36:54.440] grasping at the end I don't know if you saw but at the end he was like oh it's
[36:54.440 -> 36:58.320] getting cloudy he's like he's hoping it's it's gonna rain then and that point
[36:58.320 -> 37:01.520] he can basically pit and get an advantage yeah the wind gusts have
[37:01.520 -> 37:05.600] increased so much trying to play here and there.
[37:05.600 -> 37:14.080] I think like how only Jose Mourinho can save Chelsea football club now. I think only Ron Dennis can save McClaren.
[37:14.080 -> 37:15.600] Yeah, let's see.
[37:15.600 -> 37:21.920] Okay, now let's just do this. Let's get all the old-timers back. You know, Bernie Eccleston, Ron Dennis.
[37:21.920 -> 37:28.280] But once again, who runs the show? is Liberty Media in the picture or we toss
[37:28.280 -> 37:29.280] them out?
[37:29.280 -> 37:31.200] Oh, that's a good question.
[37:31.200 -> 37:33.320] Liberty Media doesn't have done a lot.
[37:33.320 -> 37:39.760] So probably if we, if we see the era, the, the, the Bernie Eccleston era, I mean, drivers
[37:39.760 -> 37:41.760] were not able to post Formula One pictures.
[37:41.760 -> 37:42.760] Do you know?
[37:42.760 -> 37:43.760] Yeah.
[37:43.760 -> 37:44.760] Yeah.
[37:44.760 -> 37:48.560] His whole concept was this is an elitist club and I don't want anyone else in.
[37:48.720 -> 37:49.840] That's what was the idea.
[37:49.840 -> 37:53.960] Exactly. Yeah. I mean, so I think we can let Liberty Media stay,
[37:53.960 -> 37:58.960] but let's put the Liberty Media headquarters away from America and probably
[37:59.480 -> 38:00.320] somewhere else.
[38:02.160 -> 38:03.520] I don't know. Anywhere else.
[38:04.560 -> 38:05.400] What is the common ground? I said Russia. I am't know. Anywhere else? Anywhere else? What is the common ground?
[38:05.400 -> 38:08.640] I said Russia. I am nowhere close.
[38:08.640 -> 38:12.400] I said India probably. Why not?
[38:12.400 -> 38:14.600] We will call Mr. Marni.
[38:14.600 -> 38:20.320] Oh, but by the way, since we were talking about Ocon, we have to talk about this.
[38:20.320 -> 38:24.200] What the hell was going on with the photographers right on the pit lane?
[38:24.200 -> 38:24.800] Did you see that?
[38:24.800 -> 38:25.000] Yeah. That was so dangerous and so stupid, man. What the hell was going on with the photographers right on the pit lane? Did you see that?
[38:25.000 -> 38:26.000] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[38:26.000 -> 38:29.000] That was so dangerous and so stupid, man.
[38:29.000 -> 38:35.000] So, Souton was live a few hours back and he clarified the situation saying,
[38:35.000 -> 38:41.000] it was a lapse of judgment on someone at the FIA where they opened the barricade.
[38:41.000 -> 38:45.520] So, there's usually a barricade towards the end of the pit lane where photographers are
[38:45.520 -> 38:50.080] then allowed to come in after the race was over so that they can take their pictures and whatnot.
[38:50.960 -> 38:58.160] But that was opened 30 to 45 seconds before the race was over or before the usual time that it
[38:58.160 -> 39:07.140] should have been. And Ocon had never pitted so he had to come in because it was the last lap. I think I had already started or something along those lines.
[39:07.140 -> 39:17.540] And fortunately, the two people that at the last minute saved their legs are still able to live.
[39:17.540 -> 39:21.040] But this could have been a very serious deadly.
[39:21.040 -> 39:23.500] And it was right at the pit line.
[39:23.500 -> 39:26.240] Right. So, he is still at 100, 120 or something.
[39:26.240 -> 39:30.320] So, sure, he would have cut down to 90 or 80 right after the line.
[39:30.320 -> 39:34.280] But it's still fast to bump into something that's so aero-sharp.
[39:34.280 -> 39:35.920] Yeah. Anyways.
[39:35.920 -> 39:38.840] It reminds me of an incident that happened in Jodhpur.
[39:38.840 -> 39:40.280] Really?
[39:40.280 -> 39:48.480] Really. So, INRC International Rally Championship was going on. I mean the only Arjuna Baudavadi,
[39:48.480 -> 39:54.800] Mr. Gaurav Gill was driving the car. So Jodhpur's desert track was such that nobody was allowed to
[39:54.800 -> 39:58.400] enter the track because the track was life because the Rally Championship was going on.
[39:58.400 -> 40:09.920] Unfortunately what happened was there was a family that entered, broke the barricade because obviously it's a huge track, rallies are really big so what happened was
[40:11.600 -> 40:14.880] because they were villagers, because they were locals so they can probably
[40:14.880 -> 40:20.000] they fought with marshals or fought with guards or probably it was
[40:20.000 -> 40:28.240] empty but importantly they broke the bar that they broke the bridge. Anyways, yeah. Yeah, so they entered the track.
[40:28.240 -> 40:36.600] Unfortunately, Gaurav Gill was driving at a huge speed and bang on, T-contact happened.
[40:36.600 -> 40:37.600] Oh damn.
[40:37.600 -> 40:38.600] On this part.
[40:38.600 -> 40:39.600] Obviously, oh damn.
[40:39.600 -> 40:40.600] That sucks man.
[40:40.600 -> 40:47.680] I was so cringe, I am so sorry to turn this episode from laughter and frolics to this.
[40:48.480 -> 40:52.640] But yeah, I mean, I'm just trying to give people a context about
[40:53.920 -> 41:00.880] the safety concerns, the reality of motorsports, the actual what life is.
[41:01.520 -> 41:06.560] That's the thing, like these days racing has become so safe that people actually forget how much
[41:06.560 -> 41:09.560] danger many drivers put themselves in.
[41:10.040 -> 41:11.360] Uh, it's yeah.
[41:11.400 -> 41:13.640] We just kind of overlooked that very honestly.
[41:13.920 -> 41:18.080] By the way, by the way, on that note to change, to change the mood, maybe.
[41:18.320 -> 41:25.440] So climate protesters on F1 has been a thing. But at Berlin last weekend, there
[41:25.440 -> 41:28.120] were climate protesters at a Formula E event.
[41:28.120 -> 41:30.520] So don't even raise electrical.
[41:30.520 -> 41:34.760] I think humanity, I don't know.
[41:34.760 -> 41:37.160] No, I mean, get the point.
[41:37.160 -> 41:41.040] Like, for example, now Formula 1 is running a biofuel in F2
[41:41.040 -> 41:43.440] and F3, by the way, a synthetic fuel,
[41:43.440 -> 41:45.140] and they're thinking about doing the same thing
[41:45.140 -> 41:51.840] in Formula One as well. How much energy goes in creating this biofuel, goes into
[41:51.840 -> 41:57.960] more energy, you understand the cyclic effect. So however much energy is
[41:57.960 -> 42:04.200] required to run a Formula One race or to extract a gasoline, extract petrol, diesel
[42:04.200 -> 42:07.260] whatever right from earth and the
[42:07.260 -> 42:13.260] usage and whatever carbon footprints that we leave, more is required to actually create
[42:13.260 -> 42:14.260] that biofuel.
[42:14.260 -> 42:18.660] I mean, come on, is that a need for it?
[42:18.660 -> 42:20.660] I don't know.
[42:20.660 -> 42:26.480] Oh, mood light kar diya rakaash. आखाश मूट लाइट कर दे यार। कुछ इससे बोल के।
[42:26.480 -> 42:45.140] वो बहुत प्रश्च है। जो हास में जोली गुड बहुत पर परश्च है, वो परश्च पर परश्च पर परश्च पर परश्च पर परश्च पर परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्च परश्� He is going on his own jolly good way before turn 15. Runs into the wall on the right.
[42:45.140 -> 42:49.480] I mean, I can understand if he turns into the wall at turn 15.
[42:49.480 -> 42:55.120] But he keeps... I don't know why Haas drivers keep banging into the wall on the right when there is no need.
[42:55.120 -> 42:56.220] Yeah.
[42:56.220 -> 42:58.120] Oh, like two races back, right?
[42:58.120 -> 42:59.400] Like, same thing happened, right?
[42:59.400 -> 43:01.000] He just drifted. Jetta.
[43:01.000 -> 43:02.940] He just drifted into the wall. No reason.
[43:02.940 -> 43:03.700] No reason.
[43:03.700 -> 43:05.400] Not defending anybody. Not even trying to go for the wall. No reason. Not defending anybody.
[43:05.400 -> 43:09.200] Not even trying to go for the fastest lap as such.
[43:09.200 -> 43:12.800] That you know, hey I want to have like a wider... No reason at all.
[43:12.800 -> 43:16.800] I think we should discuss the current drivers and constructors standing as well.
[43:16.800 -> 43:18.400] Just an overview after this.
[43:18.400 -> 43:22.000] No, I mean I don't have anything else because I mean,
[43:22.000 -> 43:25.880] something I noticed was back toto-back points for Sunoda.
[43:25.880 -> 43:33.800] As much as, you know, running into breaking his car problems that he had, he eventually did bounce back, ended up in points.
[43:33.800 -> 43:41.960] Brilliant driving. I think he is taking up that mantle of leading the team as young and as rookie as he still is.
[43:41.960 -> 43:54.480] But that's going good for him. I am looking at the driver standings, man. It's so sad. Leclerc is at 6th. He is at 6th. Oh my goodness.
[43:54.480 -> 44:02.800] By the way, before we start this, I want to wrap up this weekend talk on the point.
[44:02.800 -> 44:07.880] What do you feel about Alonzo and Taylor Swift?
[44:08.960 -> 44:11.160] What? Oh, man. Oh, man.
[44:11.160 -> 44:13.360] Sarang, wait. You've been sorry.
[44:13.360 -> 44:16.880] Unfortunately, this week's been very tough for Sarang, because, I mean,
[44:16.880 -> 44:20.480] he's been recovering from a flu, so doesn't really know what's going on
[44:22.000 -> 44:23.920] in pop culture. But
[44:25.160 -> 44:29.000] but yeah, Taylor Swift and Alonzo are dating or I should say,
[44:29.600 -> 44:32.840] no comments as Alonzo said, I've already answered the question.
[44:33.080 -> 44:35.840] I've already answered the question.
[44:36.480 -> 44:38.000] And that's why he broke off, is it?
[44:38.040 -> 44:41.200] Because I had heard news about him breaking off with his previous girlfriend.
[44:41.560 -> 44:44.400] Yeah, but that was last month, last week. I don't know.
[44:48.320 -> 44:48.760] And when asked, all he did was just wink.
[44:53.120 -> 44:57.560] I mean, I am all for it. See, we've already established F1, Cash is King, all capitalism. So, and there is a movie,
[44:57.600 -> 45:00.360] but the movie needs a song, right? And for the song,
[45:00.640 -> 45:05.600] Taylor Swift needs someone to date. And then you see where I'm going.
[45:05.600 -> 45:05.800] Right.
[45:05.800 -> 45:08.600] So there's going to be an F1 breakup song coming soon.
[45:08.800 -> 45:13.400] I think I've heard a lot of breakup songs from Taylor Swift, from Rihanna also a
[45:13.400 -> 45:16.300] couple of times. I think Neha Kakkad also a couple of times.
[45:17.400 -> 45:17.900] Yeah.
[45:27.000 -> 45:28.000] I see you are into all the good stuff. Yeah.
[45:28.000 -> 45:29.000] Absolutely.
[45:29.000 -> 45:31.000] Anyways, coming back.
[45:31.000 -> 45:35.280] Max Verstappen going at P1.
[45:35.280 -> 45:37.280] Six points behind Max Verstappen, De Sergipen.
[45:37.280 -> 45:38.280] Yeah.
[45:38.280 -> 45:41.280] De Sergipen is a real F1 contender.
[45:41.280 -> 45:42.280] Like title, I think.
[45:42.280 -> 45:43.280] Yeah.
[45:43.280 -> 45:44.280] Yeah.
[45:44.280 -> 45:46.300] We'll see how the next two races actually shape up.
[45:46.300 -> 45:48.300] Because he is coming out of a very good momentum.
[45:48.300 -> 45:53.200] So, I want to see like how he takes that and drives that.
[45:53.200 -> 45:54.700] But yeah.
[45:54.700 -> 45:57.100] Do you really think momentum in Formula 1 is something?
[45:57.100 -> 45:58.500] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[45:58.500 -> 46:04.600] Because I personally feel the fact of like having a form is a thing.
[46:04.600 -> 46:08.960] Is a thing through life, through your career, through or across sports.
[46:08.960 -> 46:13.920] You can go through a slump regardless of what sport you are in.
[46:13.920 -> 46:17.000] So, I think he is having his mojo at this point.
[46:17.000 -> 46:18.800] Riding the wave.
[46:18.800 -> 46:20.400] Like you can sense in his tone.
[46:20.400 -> 46:22.560] His energy is just different, right?
[46:22.560 -> 46:23.080] So...
[46:23.080 -> 46:26.800] I think there is a momentum in the mental state, I would say,
[46:26.800 -> 46:30.800] that carries on across the research possibly.
[46:30.800 -> 46:37.100] I think I give it to you because if we see that, including this weekend that happened in Azerbaijan,
[46:37.100 -> 46:40.500] there's a consecutive weekend that has happening in Miami.
[46:40.500 -> 46:43.200] And then only one weekend later, there is a triple header.
[46:43.200 -> 46:47.560] Italy, Monaco and Spain. So, preferably, I will go with you.
[46:47.560 -> 46:50.280] If there is anything like momentum, we will see.
[46:50.280 -> 46:51.680] Yes, we will see.
[46:51.680 -> 46:53.120] At the end of the season.
[46:53.120 -> 46:53.760] We will see.
[46:53.760 -> 47:01.040] Third is Alonso at 60. Not too far. I mean, sure, 27 points.
[47:01.040 -> 47:14.000] Obviously, there is no discussion if he is going to take that P1, P2. That's not happening. But I feel like there is some bounce-back happening in sports, basically.
[47:14.000 -> 47:19.840] From Hamilton or be it Leclerc this weekend or you know, science also trying to stay strong.
[47:19.840 -> 47:29.000] There can only be contention coming to Alonso from P4 or P5, but he's sitting comfortably at P3 for sure.
[47:29.000 -> 47:36.080] Yeah, I think you can carry this forward, Alonso. He's been in awesome form. He's racing brilliantly.
[47:36.080 -> 47:51.600] Aston Martin seems like a fast car. Mercedes clearly can't catch up to them. We could see both the drivers weren't able to. I am more concerned about the dominance of Red Bull. So I mean in the second half.
[47:51.600 -> 47:56.480] So what happens is because Red Bull will just have 63% of the wind tunnel time
[47:56.480 -> 48:00.680] that everybody else has, especially Aston Martin has a 100% off and this wind
[48:00.680 -> 48:08.960] tunnel time happens from October to October. Right, yeah. So, essentially, they're going to run out from July or August, is what I can feel.
[48:09.840 -> 48:12.640] So, once they do that, it's interesting.
[48:14.480 -> 48:19.360] Because Mercedes, now that James Allison is here, I think James Allison is that kind of a guy who
[48:19.360 -> 48:34.560] will put on his own ideology above everything else and he's going to prepare the car for 2024. Coming back to the table, P6 and P7 is a tied position at this point at 28 points and P8
[48:34.560 -> 48:48.300] is 27 points with Leclerc, Russell and Stroll, all three who've driven together for years and years. It's an interesting contention, to be honest.
[48:48.300 -> 48:55.500] Because all three are somewhere matched here and there, depending on the race the weekend that they bring up.
[48:55.500 -> 49:00.100] I love that we are talking about Shruvil and Luckluck in the same sentence now.
[49:00.100 -> 49:05.000] Yeah, 2023. Times have changed, man, times have changed.
[49:05.000 -> 49:10.000] And you know what, they have not used their, the factory is not yet completed as well.
[49:10.000 -> 49:12.000] So their factory is going to complete in July.
[49:12.000 -> 49:13.000] Yeah, yeah, exactly.
[49:13.000 -> 49:18.000] And once that factory is completed, that factory goes like 400 meters of stretch.
[49:18.000 -> 49:21.000] If you start walking, you will end up at 400 meters and the factory will be completed.
[49:21.000 -> 49:23.000] So that's so huge.
[49:23.000 -> 49:25.200] Yeah, Yeah.
[49:27.600 -> 49:28.000] I don't think LegLag will stay on P6 for long. I think.
[49:28.000 -> 49:29.440] Yeah, I don't think so either.
[49:29.440 -> 49:30.880] Hopefully, they will go ahead.
[49:30.880 -> 49:32.240] You think it'll go up or go down?
[49:34.320 -> 49:34.960] Good question.
[49:40.000 -> 49:40.640] Context, guys.
[49:41.440 -> 49:44.480] Everybody who's still listening to the podcast and not bored of us.
[49:47.200 -> 49:56.800] I am winking at Akash. I think he will go up. It's just a matter of time.
[49:56.800 -> 50:01.080] But rest of the table, I don't even know if you want to go through them.
[50:01.080 -> 50:03.680] There is just too much chit-chat.
[50:03.680 -> 50:05.860] Go to Norris. Please go till Norris.
[50:05.860 -> 50:08.980] He is next on the list. So, let's do 10, right?
[50:08.980 -> 50:11.900] So, P9 is Norris. P10 is Hulkenberg.
[50:11.900 -> 50:15.620] I am really impressed about Hulkenberg being at 10, right?
[50:15.620 -> 50:16.900] Six points? Yeah.
[50:16.900 -> 50:20.500] But to be honest, if you see rest of the table, right?
[50:20.500 -> 50:48.000] It's like the IPL table. So many at four, so many at two, so many at one. But they, certain shuffle around in that P8, P9, P10 position during, you know, he is not a bad driver, to be really honest.
[50:48.000 -> 50:55.000] He is not. I really want to see him fighting for those overtakes, fighting for those positions.
[50:55.000 -> 51:00.800] At least bring the challenge to Stroll and Russell for those points.
[51:00.800 -> 51:05.720] But yeah, we will see. we'll see where this goes. Right first of all
[51:05.720 -> 51:11.040] on the on the point of IPL thanks for comparing RPR with RR. I mean I'm from
[51:11.040 -> 51:17.240] Rajasthan so why not. But yeah I mean both of them doing really nice I can't say
[51:17.240 -> 51:20.640] about last year because I didn't follow them but I yeah I mean they're doing
[51:20.640 -> 51:25.700] nice and on the point of Landon Orr is I think he's one of the very... He's one of the elitist drivers.
[51:25.700 -> 51:27.700] Yeah. Definitely.
[51:27.700 -> 51:36.200] Not given an opportunity, I think. I can definitely see a move of Landon Norris, especially after these four races to Audi.
[51:36.200 -> 51:39.700] Hmm. Interesting.
[51:39.700 -> 51:51.200] I mean, this Audi or Mercedes is probably where Landon Noris will end up really, really soon. On that bombshell, we keep copying this statement until the guy himself, you know, shows up.
[51:51.200 -> 51:51.700] Yeah.
[51:51.700 -> 51:57.300] Yeah. So on that bombshell, this was Baku 2023.
[51:57.300 -> 52:01.000] Well, it was a snooze fest, but we had fun.
[52:01.000 -> 52:03.800] So you had a long episode and hopefully you had fun.
[52:03.800 -> 52:05.000] Your stomach's hurting.
[52:05.000 -> 52:08.200] Whenever you're listening to this, wherever you're listening this to from,
[52:08.200 -> 52:12.600] we are your hosts, all three of us signing off.
[52:12.600 -> 52:14.000] Bye-bye.
