**2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix: A Detailed Race Recap and Analysis**
**Introduction:**
Welcome to the F1 Fan Fiction podcast, where we delve into the thrilling world of Formula One racing. In this episode, we're joined by our special guest, Shayan Roy, as we dissect the recently concluded 2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. From the Aston Martin conspiracy theories to the rise of Sergio Perez, we've got you covered. So, fasten your seatbelts and let's dive into the action!
**Aston Martin Conspiracy:**
The Saudi Arabian GP was shrouded in controversy, with many questioning the legitimacy of Aston Martin's pit stop strategy. Lance Stroll's untimely retirement and Fernando Alonso's subsequent penalty raised eyebrows, leading to speculation of a deliberate ploy to secure a podium finish for Alonso. The FIA's decision to reverse the penalty only added fuel to the fire, leaving fans and experts alike scratching their heads.
**Sergio Perez: The New Hamburg Bot?**
Sergio Perez's dominant performance in Saudi Arabia has drawn comparisons to Nico Rosberg's time as Lewis Hamilton's teammate at Mercedes. With two consecutive race wins, Perez has emerged as a genuine title contender, challenging Max Verstappen's supremacy within the Red Bull camp. The question on everyone's mind is whether Perez can sustain this momentum and mount a serious challenge for the championship.
**The Pink Place: A New Force to Reckon With?**
Alpine, the rebranded Renault team, made a strong statement in Saudi Arabia, with Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly finishing in the points. The team's impressive performance has sparked renewed optimism among its fans, who hope to see Alpine challenge the top teams more consistently this season.
**Piastri's Reverse Albon:**
Oscar Piastri's impressive debut for McLaren was overshadowed by teammate Lando Norris' struggles. Piastri's ability to adapt quickly to the new car and score points in his first race has drawn comparisons to Alex Albon's impressive start with Red Bull in 2019. However, McLaren's overall performance remains a concern, with the team still struggling to find the pace to compete with the frontrunners.
**Bottas First from Last: A Redemption Story**
Valtteri Bottas' remarkable comeback drive from last to first in the Saudi Arabian GP was a testament to his resilience and determination. The Finn's victory was his first since leaving Mercedes, and it served as a fitting response to those who doubted his ability to succeed outside of the top team.
**Akash Breaks DC:**
In a hilarious moment during the podcast, Akash inadvertently caused a technical glitch, leading to a brief interruption in the recording. However, the team's quick thinking and ability to laugh at themselves turned this mishap into a lighthearted and entertaining segment.
**The Non-Existent Chicane:**
The Saudi Arabian GP circuit featured a unique chicane that was designed to slow down the cars and promote overtaking. However, the chicane proved to be ineffective, with drivers finding ways to bypass it without losing significant time. This led to criticism from some quarters, who felt that the chicane had failed to serve its intended purpose.
**Conclusion:**
The 2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was a race of surprises, controversies, and captivating storylines. From the Aston Martin drama to the rise of Sergio Perez and the redemption of Valtteri Bottas, there was never a dull moment. As the F1 season continues, we can expect more thrilling races and intense battles on the track. Stay tuned to F1 Fan Fiction for all the latest news, analysis, and entertainment from the world of Formula One. **Transcript Summary: F1 Fanfiction Podcast Episode: Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Review**

[00:00.000 -> 00:04.320] I enjoyed Yuki's scream. It was very Yuki.
[00:04.320 -> 00:06.320] It was kind of like, just really like high-pitched and small.
[00:06.320 -> 00:09.160] The awesome thing is, he pressed the radio button just to scream.
[00:09.160 -> 00:09.660] Yeah.
[00:09.660 -> 00:11.660] And then, that's it.
[00:11.660 -> 00:12.160] That's it.
[00:12.160 -> 00:12.660] That's it.
[00:18.660 -> 00:20.660] Where were we this weekend? Saudi, was it?
[00:20.660 -> 00:22.660] I think so, yeah.
[00:22.660 -> 00:23.160] I think so.
[00:23.160 -> 00:26.380] All's a blur at this point, dude. Every race looks like the same. Yeah. I mean, it should I think so. Yeah, I think so. It's a blur at this point. Every race looks like the same. Yeah
[00:29.960 -> 00:35.720] It is to me I don't know why it feels like ages it feels like an extension of last year pretty much yeah
[00:39.960 -> 00:41.960] Sure
[00:42.320 -> 00:44.320] Man
[00:41.000 -> 00:42.000] Sure. Yeah.
[00:42.000 -> 00:43.000] Oh, man.
[00:43.000 -> 00:51.000] Well, welcome to F1 Fan Fiction, a show about F1 race weekend reviews and community interviews.
[00:51.000 -> 00:52.000] We are your hosts.
[00:52.000 -> 00:53.000] I'm Akash.
[00:53.000 -> 00:54.000] And I'm Sarang.
[00:54.000 -> 00:55.000] And I'm Shayan.
[00:55.000 -> 00:56.000] He's back.
[00:56.000 -> 00:57.000] In the house.
[00:57.000 -> 00:58.000] Back again for Jeddah.
[00:58.000 -> 00:59.000] Why do you guys keep having me back for Jeddah?
[00:59.000 -> 01:00.000] I don't know, man.
[01:00.000 -> 01:01.000] I have no expertise about that track.
[01:01.000 -> 01:02.000] We know last year that we'll call you again for Jeddah.
[01:02.000 -> 01:03.000] Wow.
[01:03.000 -> 01:08.040] Yep. Why do you guys keep having me back for Jetta? I don't know expertise about that track. We know last year that we'll call you again for Jetta next year.
[01:08.040 -> 01:08.640] Wow.
[01:08.640 -> 01:10.120] We're all playing the long game.
[01:10.120 -> 01:12.000] All part of that.
[01:12.000 -> 01:12.640] Yeah.
[01:12.640 -> 01:17.920] Like, I don't know what game this is, but happy to be back anyway.
[01:17.920 -> 01:20.080] But we were on a screening last night.
[01:20.080 -> 01:20.880] How was that?
[01:20.880 -> 01:22.760] Yeah, it was interesting.
[01:22.760 -> 01:24.120] Interesting, right?
[01:24.120 -> 01:26.000] The vibe was great in the beginning.
[01:26.000 -> 01:29.000] Like first lap, everybody was super hyped.
[01:29.000 -> 01:31.000] And then, I mean, the race also,
[01:31.000 -> 01:34.000] that was the most hype anybody was in the entire race.
[01:34.000 -> 01:38.000] But, bro, I think they needed a hotspot
[01:38.000 -> 01:40.000] because the internet kept going out.
[01:40.000 -> 01:41.000] Yeah.
[01:41.000 -> 01:43.000] And, yeah, people were getting antsy, man.
[01:43.000 -> 01:48.080] We were on a live F1 podcast. yeah yeah I think Sarang went to the console
[01:48.080 -> 01:52.560] to offer a hotspot also yeah that's what it looked like I don't know what you were doing there actually
[01:53.360 -> 01:56.880] it started working after that so it did whatever you did it worked bro
[01:57.760 -> 02:00.480] there was that energy that race card you mentioned
[02:02.240 -> 02:08.400] cheekily taking off I made a brilliant race card from you, taking off, holding on to that P1 for a few laps.
[02:08.400 -> 02:12.560] Yeah, yeah. But then, but then there were some shenanigans going on with that as well, right?
[02:12.560 -> 02:15.600] You were at P1 from last race, for sure.
[02:15.600 -> 02:16.960] And starting to the left?
[02:16.960 -> 02:27.920] Like almost to the left, bro. Like Beyonce, bro. Dude, it was like seemed like a carbon copy of like everything that was
[02:27.920 -> 02:33.680] happening with Okon in the first year. Oh that's right. And it's really weird that it happened twice
[02:33.680 -> 02:38.840] like one race after another. That's true man. Like what happened did they like make the grids
[02:38.840 -> 02:46.000] like really small. I'll tell you what happened. So right before last race started, Okon came out and said he's better than Alonzo.
[02:47.600 -> 02:51.440] That played to Alonzo's ego. So he was trying to reverse Okon.
[02:52.560 -> 02:55.360] He was like, I do the same what you did and still get a P3.
[02:57.840 -> 03:00.800] Damn, that's that's savage, dude.
[03:01.920 -> 03:03.120] I defend like a lion.
[03:05.520 -> 03:06.880] Yeah, man, he was having a blast.
[03:06.880 -> 03:09.320] I mean, not the Saudi kind, but
[03:09.320 -> 03:12.320] yesterday was quiet.
[03:12.320 -> 03:18.480] No Michael Schumacher cruises floating around in the view.
[03:18.480 -> 03:20.400] Oh, the MSC.
[03:20.400 -> 03:22.520] Yeah, sure.
[03:22.520 -> 03:29.500] But yeah, speaking of Alonzo and Asston Martin, let's give him some due time.
[03:29.500 -> 03:34.500] What was your whole thought on how Aston Martin played out?
[03:34.500 -> 03:37.500] With like, stroll, not being able to finish his race.
[03:37.500 -> 03:41.500] Yeah, was that, in your eyes, was it intentional in any way?
[03:41.500 -> 03:42.500] I don't know.
[03:42.500 -> 03:53.120] I don't know, because I remember know. Cause like I remember he just missed like the pit window there, but then he did serve his time penalty in that like safety. Yeah. Yeah.
[03:53.680 -> 03:58.400] What happened in the end with that? Cause like I really like it was, it was perfectly legal. I
[03:58.400 -> 04:02.720] think they, I think they were also talking about this on in the commentary as well that
[04:03.840 -> 04:08.120] I'm sure like they'll be getting their F1 lawyers in but this has happened before as well.
[04:08.120 -> 04:13.080] So like the legality of serving a penalty.
[04:13.080 -> 04:18.040] But I think it makes sense just like you said yesterday, Shayan, that like during red flags,
[04:18.040 -> 04:19.040] that's what happens.
[04:19.040 -> 04:23.160] Like a lot of advantages get neutralized, a lot of disadvantages also get neutralized.
[04:23.160 -> 04:26.960] So I think safety car is a part of the game and it plays into your luck,
[04:27.040 -> 04:30.320] into your strategy as well. So then he definitely parked it, bro.
[04:30.680 -> 04:34.680] Now that we have that cleared. Yeah. Cause it like, it worked for a long,
[04:34.680 -> 04:36.320] so I think, I don't know,
[04:36.320 -> 04:40.760] maybe it was a strategic decision to like have him serve it in a safety car.
[04:40.920 -> 04:44.280] Cause yeah. And the radio message, I mean, if I remember it correctly,
[04:44.280 -> 04:45.040] at least what they showed was stop your car, stop your car, stop your car. Yeah and the radio message, I mean if I remember it correctly at least what they showed
[04:45.040 -> 04:51.760] was stop your car, stop your car, stop your car. Right. And the moment when he said it, it felt
[04:51.760 -> 04:56.400] like he knew where his parking spot, not even the garage, like where his parking spot was.
[04:56.960 -> 05:03.520] He rolled in quickly and stopped the car even better than what Ferrari did last week. By the
[05:03.520 -> 05:06.500] way, do you know why FIA pulled in the safety guard?
[05:06.500 -> 05:09.000] Because he was right in the entrance of the park.
[05:09.000 -> 05:11.500] I heard it was because they didn't have enough cameras on the track.
[05:11.500 -> 05:13.500] That was the silliest thing I have ever heard.
[05:13.500 -> 05:14.500] Yeah.
[05:14.500 -> 05:20.500] So FIA is saying they got a blind spot on the track?
[05:20.500 -> 05:21.500] Uh-huh.
[05:21.500 -> 05:22.500] Uh-huh.
[05:22.500 -> 05:24.500] They got a high spot.
[05:24.500 -> 05:28.000] Oh wait, who is the title sponsor for Aston Martin?
[05:28.000 -> 05:32.000] Yeah, home race for them, Aram Kar.
[05:32.000 -> 05:35.000] Oh yes, of course.
[05:35.000 -> 05:38.000] Things falling into place.
[05:38.000 -> 05:47.280] So conveniently, Stroll had a mechanical failure or whatever failure they think at this point. Do you think that was going to be a chit from a hat?
[05:47.280 -> 05:49.280] Like what failure do we call this on all of us?
[05:50.280 -> 05:50.960] Sorry, you were saying?
[05:51.120 -> 05:55.440] Bro, I was saying like, I mean, I was deviating, but I was wondering whether
[05:55.440 -> 05:57.800] there was Lawrence troll on the radio.
[05:58.560 -> 06:06.520] And I said that because I've been watching Connor Moore's follow on impressions a lot.
[06:06.520 -> 06:09.720] And the last two episodes, he's been
[06:09.720 -> 06:13.960] making Lauren Stroll's character call Fernando his son.
[06:13.960 -> 06:15.960] Have you seen that?
[06:15.960 -> 06:17.960] No, he's like
[06:17.960 -> 06:20.960] I think after, like yesterday he put something up where like
[06:20.960 -> 06:22.960] Lauren Stroll is going like, I'm really proud of you son.
[06:22.960 -> 06:24.960] And then Lance is like, thanks dad.
[06:24.960 -> 06:27.800] And then he's like, actually I'm talking to you for now
[06:27.800 -> 06:36.800] thank you dad so maybe yeah like he's the new son yeah the new conspiracy
[06:36.800 -> 06:45.000] there could be either it was Conor Moore himself on the radio or you know how those detective movies have like a voice modulator and it's
[06:45.000 -> 06:48.000] actually Lawrence strolling sitting at home in Canada and like, you know,
[06:48.000 -> 06:49.000] over a voice modulator.
[06:49.000 -> 06:50.000] Yeah, it could be.
[06:50.000 -> 06:51.000] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[06:51.000 -> 06:55.000] I think it does also make sense because like, I really feel that what
[06:55.000 -> 07:00.000] Aston Martin is like facing right now is like sheer luck kind of.
[07:00.000 -> 07:04.000] They have like walked themselves into a good car and they know that they
[07:04.000 -> 07:05.360] might not retain this advantage through good car and they know that they might not retain
[07:05.360 -> 07:09.600] this advantage through the season. Yeah, they're trying to make the best out of it. And like,
[07:10.240 -> 07:15.200] I know, again, it's a conspiracy that we're kind of talking about, but Lawrence stopping, sorry,
[07:16.000 -> 07:23.200] Lance, same thing. Lance stopping his car and like sacrificing his race does perfectly make
[07:23.200 -> 07:31.280] sense to get a P3 again. But so like, you guys don't have like high hopes for Aston catching Red Bull through the season though, right?
[07:31.280 -> 07:33.680] Not for me at least.
[07:33.680 -> 07:35.040] Yeah, I don't think that's happening.
[07:35.040 -> 07:39.840] I feel like, so if you guys are in my, I would at least say, and again it's only been two races.
[07:39.840 -> 07:43.600] But I still feel like pace wise it's Red Bull and then a Ferrari.
[07:43.600 -> 07:47.440] And then Aston Martin is better than a Merc at this point.
[07:47.600 -> 07:50.560] And that'll, depending on their copying skills.
[07:51.640 -> 07:52.760] I mean, they joke about it.
[07:53.600 -> 07:55.080] That's what they do.
[07:55.320 -> 08:00.680] So depending on that, like it'll depend on how good Aston Martin does for the season.
[08:00.720 -> 08:01.000] Yeah.
[08:01.000 -> 08:05.960] But I still feel like if Ferrari can get their stock together, it's somewhere with Red Bull.
[08:05.960 -> 08:12.000] But looking at yesterday's race, I mean, I'm really I have like a really bleak future and
[08:12.000 -> 08:17.560] like future for them because they were even behind Mercedes and Mercedes seemed pretty
[08:17.560 -> 08:24.880] slow last race. And also from what I've been hearing from the Ferrari campus that the reason
[08:24.880 -> 08:33.320] they could finish the race yesterday was because they had to tone down their engine a bit and they're not using it at the top performance.
[08:33.320 -> 08:34.520] Yeah, full potential.
[08:34.520 -> 08:37.720] That explains the position also, I guess.
[08:37.720 -> 08:46.640] Like not really competitive with, I don't know, was it like close between, I was going to say Ferrari and Merck? Was it like close?
[08:46.640 -> 08:53.200] Ferrari and Merck. I don't remember as much. But I think there were some good battles between Russell.
[08:54.320 -> 08:59.360] You know, I think like science tried to overtake him. Leclerc was also going for it. I mean,
[08:59.360 -> 09:08.560] he did end up some point ahead of him. But like pits and stuff happens. But I think there's a bigger problem.
[09:08.600 -> 09:13.120] Like we've seen this over the past two races or season rather,
[09:13.120 -> 09:14.000] even not even races.
[09:14.000 -> 09:15.560] And we put up a meme for this as well.
[09:17.160 -> 09:18.720] There's a bigger problem at Ferrari.
[09:18.800 -> 09:27.680] So my question to y'all is, what we saw was Leclerc started his race with softs and science was on mediums.
[09:27.680 -> 09:31.280] Then we saw this radio message saying box, box, box.
[09:31.280 -> 09:32.280] And y'all flipped.
[09:32.280 -> 09:35.280] But I was like, that makes sense because he's on soft.
[09:35.280 -> 09:38.280] You're right because that was for science.
[09:38.280 -> 09:41.280] What the f**k was going on over there?
[09:41.280 -> 09:42.280] Yeah, man.
[09:42.280 -> 09:43.280] But it was a fake out, right?
[09:43.280 -> 09:44.280] It was a fake out.
[09:44.280 -> 09:49.000] They got last. But he still did end up pitting before the clash.
[09:49.000 -> 09:53.000] Yeah, he did. Couple of laps later he came in.
[09:53.000 -> 09:57.000] And the weird thing is that everyone was saying that mediums are the tyres to go.
[09:57.000 -> 10:01.000] So I don't understand why they pitted him. Because if he was on the favourable tyres
[10:01.000 -> 10:08.200] why did they want to rush? Did he go on hards? Yeah, he did. I remember like somebody's radio message saying like, hards are not looking very good.
[10:08.280 -> 10:08.780] Yeah.
[10:08.880 -> 10:10.680] So in like light of that, yeah.
[10:10.680 -> 10:16.600] Like I really, I really don't know what happens in a Ferrari pit mid race.
[10:16.680 -> 10:17.180] Like.
[10:17.520 -> 10:22.400] And there's this whole other nonsense of like radio communication, not being correct as well.
[10:22.400 -> 10:22.900] Right.
[10:22.900 -> 10:23.400] Really?
[10:25.120 -> 10:26.560] radio communication not being correct as well. Oh really? Remember the point where
[10:32.160 -> 10:34.480] Charles was told to push because I think Russell was in the pit and then Charles flipped because he was like you should tell me.
[10:38.000 -> 10:40.960] Copy, understood, understood.
[10:42.080 -> 10:49.120] And two laps down Max is complaining about his drivetrain probably not working fine.
[10:49.120 -> 10:55.920] Yeah. And he has this long ass explanation of what might be going wrong. And I'm like, dude, what is this?
[10:56.560 -> 11:02.160] There's some communication issues for sure. Yeah, man. But let's let's move on. We have decided to
[11:02.160 -> 11:07.000] not talk about Ferrari anymore. We don't want to beat up dead horse.
[11:07.000 -> 11:15.000] Although before we move on, I do want to say that we were banking memes this weekend.
[11:15.000 -> 11:21.000] And all the memes were Ferrari memes for whatever situation would arise.
[11:21.000 -> 11:23.000] And we ended up using one of those.
[11:23.000 -> 11:26.000] We had about 8.
[11:26.000 -> 11:28.000] We keep using them.
[11:28.000 -> 11:31.000] Dude, we have what 22, 24?
[11:31.000 -> 11:33.000] How much ever races, I forget.
[11:33.000 -> 11:35.000] Because they keep adding races each season.
[11:35.000 -> 11:38.000] I am sure of it. But yeah, now we can move on.
[11:38.000 -> 11:40.000] Move on.
[11:40.000 -> 11:43.000] But I don't want to move away from bashing per se.
[11:43.000 -> 11:44.000] Yeah, yeah, no. Just for fun.
[11:44.000 -> 11:46.400] Let's come back to like the Aston Martin bashing.
[11:46.400 -> 11:46.900] Sure.
[11:47.600 -> 11:52.600] I slept with, I left the screening with the fact that Alonzo was P3.
[11:52.600 -> 11:53.100] Yeah.
[11:53.100 -> 11:55.400] I slept with the fact that Russell was P3.
[11:55.400 -> 11:55.900] Yeah.
[11:55.900 -> 11:59.900] And then I woke up to P with the fact that Alonzo was again P3.
[11:59.900 -> 12:00.400] Yeah.
[12:01.300 -> 12:05.700] Yeah. Actually, I think like when you went to pee, he got a 10 second penalty.
[12:05.700 -> 12:11.100] So like if you got sloshed enough, it would feel like between pees all of this happened.
[12:11.100 -> 12:12.100] Yeah, snip snap.
[12:12.100 -> 12:15.100] Snip snap, bro. Poetic.
[12:15.100 -> 12:19.100] It's insane man. Like FIA, I don't understand what's going on.
[12:19.100 -> 12:23.600] Like with the penalties, like this penalty didn't make any sense.
[12:23.600 -> 12:27.080] There have always been instances of people, you know, like the
[12:27.080 -> 12:31.400] rare Jackman like touching the car before, you know, the penalty
[12:31.400 -> 12:34.480] is served per se and yeah, it didn't make any sense.
[12:34.480 -> 12:37.080] They had plenty proof that they provided and then if I had to,
[12:37.480 -> 12:40.240] you know, walk back and also they, I don't know why did they
[12:40.240 -> 12:42.080] wait after the podium celebrations.
[12:42.080 -> 12:43.480] That was very sus.
[12:43.480 -> 12:44.480] It was so weird.
[12:47.280 -> 12:50.040] I don't know if you guys saw Alonzo's interview. So right after the podium, they announced that.
[12:50.040 -> 12:54.440] And then, uh, they like the interviewer tells her, tells him that, uh, you
[12:54.440 -> 12:55.640] know, you have lost your position.
[12:55.640 -> 12:56.800] So he's like, yeah, I don't care.
[12:56.800 -> 12:59.240] I've, I've already, you know, celebrated.
[13:00.400 -> 13:00.600] Yeah.
[13:00.600 -> 13:04.640] He did say that he was like, I've already celebrated on the podium.
[13:04.960 -> 13:06.600] Uh, I'm happy with that.
[13:06.600 -> 13:08.600] Doesn't matter to me.
[13:08.600 -> 13:10.600] He got the cool down room pleasure.
[13:10.600 -> 13:14.000] He got to champagne stuff.
[13:14.000 -> 13:16.000] I don't know if that's actually alcohol by the way.
[13:16.000 -> 13:18.000] Yeah, I don't know.
[13:18.000 -> 13:20.000] He made faces. He made faces on the podium.
[13:20.000 -> 13:22.000] But anyways, he got to take pictures.
[13:22.000 -> 13:24.000] His sponsors were all over.
[13:24.000 -> 13:26.400] Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That's
[13:26.400 -> 13:34.400] probably why he doesn't care. Yeah, exactly. I got what I wanted. Yeah, 100 will come soon.
[13:34.400 -> 13:39.040] But yeah, he got it by the way. So beautiful. And what a year it's been for him. Insane,
[13:39.040 -> 13:45.600] right? But, but Shet, like, I don't know why, like, what's the whole story behind him getting again?
[13:45.600 -> 13:46.600] The P3?
[13:46.600 -> 13:47.600] Yeah, yeah.
[13:47.600 -> 13:53.360] Yeah, so like Ashton Martin basically challenged their decision and gave them seven instances
[13:53.360 -> 13:59.360] of prior incidents of where a similar thing happened and nobody was penalized.
[13:59.360 -> 14:01.120] I thought it was on moral grounds, bro.
[14:01.120 -> 14:04.240] I thought like, because they're like, I know it's ironic.
[14:04.240 -> 14:05.160] We talk about morality
[14:05.160 -> 14:09.440] and F1 but I thought it was because like, they had like the whole race to inform him
[14:09.440 -> 14:14.280] and they didn't so like obviously it affected his race strategy as well right? Oh that too
[14:14.280 -> 14:19.120] man yeah. But he did say that. He did say that. He said that so I was like, it's a 5
[14:19.120 -> 14:23.080] second penalty and I created that gap. If they would have told me it's 10 seconds, I
[14:23.080 -> 14:26.800] would have done 10 seconds. Smart of him to say that also. Even if like, we don't know.
[14:26.800 -> 14:27.300] Yeah.
[14:27.300 -> 14:29.040] But like, yeah.
[14:29.040 -> 14:29.640] Good, right?
[14:29.640 -> 14:33.480] I thought that's what actually like spurred them to like reverse the decision.
[14:34.040 -> 14:35.000] Just guilt tripping.
[14:35.000 -> 14:36.000] Good old guilt tripping.
[14:36.000 -> 14:37.080] He would have anyways done it.
[14:37.080 -> 14:37.580] Yeah.
[14:38.040 -> 14:41.040] Or, or they just wanted to taunt Russell, you know, like.
[14:42.000 -> 14:43.080] But did you see him flip?
[14:43.080 -> 14:45.200] Like, I think he flipped to, at least there's a meme,
[14:45.840 -> 14:51.920] that he was this super zealous guy that should have gotten T3 and you know whatever.
[14:53.600 -> 14:58.560] But there's a flip side where he's Bilbo Baggins and his ring's taken away.
[15:02.240 -> 15:05.000] Yeah I can see that happening for Russell.
[15:05.000 -> 15:07.000] Russell for sure.
[15:07.000 -> 15:09.000] Anyone else maybe not but him for sure.
[15:09.000 -> 15:13.000] But yeah man, he is having his time of his life alone in Aston Martin.
[15:13.000 -> 15:19.000] Feels like if they can keep quote unquote coping, you know, to a good car.
[15:19.000 -> 15:20.000] Red Bull?
[15:20.000 -> 15:21.000] Yeah.
[15:21.000 -> 15:25.500] Speaking of Red Bull, I think I was asking one of y'all yesterday,
[15:25.500 -> 15:30.000] why did Perez go and start hugging Aston Martin all of a sudden when he won the race?
[15:30.000 -> 15:33.000] I think he was maybe a little delirious bro, like,
[15:33.000 -> 15:36.000] if you saw like post-race, like,
[15:36.000 -> 15:38.000] Perez was sweating buckets,
[15:38.000 -> 15:41.500] Fernando looks like he aged like a year in the race.
[15:41.500 -> 15:43.000] Max was not sweating at all.
[15:43.000 -> 15:46.240] He was just like, just like 15th to second.
[15:46.240 -> 15:51.840] Yeah, it's okay. You know, just he was actually mad that he got P2, you know, he was. Yeah,
[15:51.840 -> 16:00.080] he was. I'm sad that I didn't I got P2. I'm here. I'm not here to get a second place.
[16:00.080 -> 16:06.200] Yeah. That overachiever kid bro. I just missed that one mark bro. How much did you get?

But yeah, McLaren performance this year, I feel like they are like, if the first two
[16:27.960 -> 16:31.400] races are anything to go by, they are going to be the team that everybody is shitting
[16:31.400 -> 16:32.400] on through the year.
[16:32.400 -> 16:38.440] Like it was Haas, little bit of like, goatee fee hate last year, he's also gone now.
[16:38.440 -> 16:41.960] We made a meme yesterday night about this.
[16:41.960 -> 16:51.000] It was Pedro Pascal eating a sandwich and basically with the text that Ricardo while watching McLaren's performance and enjoying Red Bull's catering.
[16:51.000 -> 17:05.480] Oh! Damn! I started seeing that come up at a few other places. Like one of our followers asked us can I get a video of this? I'm like, sure.
[17:08.320 -> 17:08.400] But yeah, like I just realized, I just thought of that. I'm like,
[17:11.480 -> 17:12.440] I was feeling bad for Danny Rick. He's laughing.
[17:15.000 -> 17:31.000] He's chilling. Yeah, exactly. Oh my God. Yeah, man. But talking about Red Bull, I think I said this to Akash that I think
[17:31.000 -> 17:34.000] Vurpuralu is probably going to be the new Hamburg bot.
[17:34.000 -> 17:37.000] Yeah, you said that yesterday. It's got a ring to it also.
[17:37.000 -> 17:38.000] Yeah, right.
[17:38.000 -> 17:39.000] Vurpuralu.
[17:39.000 -> 17:40.000] The new Hamburg bot.
[17:40.000 -> 17:43.000] But for Saudi, right, like that's actually a thing.
[17:43.000 -> 17:50.120] So except I think like the quali, P1, 2, 3 and the race, it's all just being more parallel.
[17:50.120 -> 17:51.720] Yeah, yeah, man.
[17:51.720 -> 17:54.960] It's not a good sign, man.
[17:54.960 -> 17:55.960] It's for us.
[17:55.960 -> 18:04.480] No, I think like in my mind, I have three formula events going on on that base.
[18:04.480 -> 18:05.400] Yeah, the formula that page. Yeah.
[18:05.400 -> 18:06.400] There's a formula red bull.
[18:06.400 -> 18:07.400] Yeah, of course.
[18:07.400 -> 18:08.400] F1 and then there's F1.5.
[18:08.400 -> 18:09.400] Yeah.
[18:09.400 -> 18:15.080] Man, honestly, like that's how like I think, I don't know, like for the last couple of
[18:15.080 -> 18:20.000] seasons, I'd stopped watching it that way because the season before the new regs things
[18:20.000 -> 18:22.160] got super exciting.
[18:22.160 -> 18:24.920] And then of course, after the regulations, it was like a complete crapshoot.
[18:24.920 -> 18:28.200] So you didn't know what to expect so yeah I kind of got
[18:28.200 -> 18:33.040] used to not watching it with that in mind you know formula 1.5 or 1.75 or
[18:33.040 -> 18:38.960] whatever and yeah I think this season is gonna be yeah a little bit of that again
[18:38.960 -> 18:48.000] formula Red Bull for sure it's it's gonna be Perez versus... Yeah, but it's interesting, no? Like, they are on a different planet.
[18:48.000 -> 18:49.000] Yeah, totally.
[18:49.000 -> 18:51.000] Like, the way they pulled away.
[18:51.000 -> 18:53.000] I'm talking with a budget cap. That's insane.
[18:53.000 -> 18:53.500] Sorry?
[18:53.500 -> 18:54.500] With a budget cap.
[18:54.500 -> 18:55.500] Yeah.
[18:55.500 -> 19:01.000] Like, the first two laps was literally, like, the only, like, as a viewer,
[19:01.000 -> 19:05.760] the only, like, interesting part as far as the front of the pack is concerned.
[19:05.760 -> 19:09.280] After that, we knew, everybody knew what was happening.
[19:10.200 -> 19:14.000] In fact, even Max made it from fucking 15th to second.
[19:14.000 -> 19:15.520] Yeah, man, that was insane.
[19:15.680 -> 19:16.080] Yeah.
[19:16.080 -> 19:22.200] At first, I thought like LeClerc was making ground faster than Max, but he was of course on soft.
[19:22.200 -> 19:26.080] So he had some advantage, but then clearly Max was so much faster.
[19:26.080 -> 19:27.840] Max overtook him on mediums also.
[19:27.840 -> 19:28.280] Exactly.
[19:28.280 -> 19:29.600] Like with ease.
[19:29.600 -> 19:30.600] With ease. Yeah.
[19:31.160 -> 19:32.680] He even overtook this guy.
[19:33.000 -> 19:36.280] So actually he didn't overtake Lekhlak because Lekhlak had pitted.
[19:36.320 -> 19:37.880] And right, right, right, right.
[19:37.880 -> 19:40.240] But he overtook Hamilton with ease.
[19:40.600 -> 19:42.760] And that was like, just, he just went past.
[19:42.760 -> 19:43.160] That's it.
[19:43.600 -> 19:44.760] Hamilton didn't even try.
[19:55.600 -> 19:56.700] Good. And that was like just he just went past that's it. Yeah, I'm going to try. But I think Red Bull it's weird that with given that they have lesser wind tunnel time.
[19:56.700 -> 19:58.500] They have a limited budget.
[19:58.500 -> 20:03.900] Yeah, and they don't need it.
[20:03.900 -> 20:04.900] They are waiting in New England.
[20:04.900 -> 20:06.880] He can just see the wind flowing. not going to impact them until like the second half. And they don't need it. They are veteran newbie. He can just see the wind flowing.
[20:06.880 -> 20:08.400] But how, explain this to me.
[20:08.400 -> 20:11.360] Like, how does, what does wind tunnel have to do with second half of the season?
[20:11.360 -> 20:18.320] So last year, because of all the shenanigans they pulled, they got a penalty for reduced wind tunnel testing.
[20:18.320 -> 20:19.920] No, that's, that's not true.
[20:19.920 -> 20:28.320] I mean, sorry, but so what change they have done is that from this season on, they, they
[20:28.320 -> 20:34.040] are going to reduce the time of wind tunnel for the highest team and increase it for the
[20:34.040 -> 20:35.040] lowest team.
[20:35.040 -> 20:38.240] So whoever was the last, I think it was Haas, right?
[20:38.240 -> 20:39.240] Yeah.
[20:39.240 -> 20:45.480] So Haas gets the maximum wind tunnel time and then it keeps reducing till the top team. So I was going to decline.
[20:45.480 -> 20:51.560] So that and the additional extra penalty as well.
[20:51.560 -> 20:56.440] So by the time this came out, right, like the 2023 development powers already ready,
[20:56.440 -> 20:57.840] all those things would have been done.
[20:57.840 -> 21:02.920] So it will be interesting how probably like the last one fourth of the season pans out
[21:02.920 -> 21:04.680] and how that all of that will pass.
[21:04.680 -> 21:05.600] And next season as well.
[21:05.600 -> 21:06.000] Yeah.
[21:06.000 -> 21:08.560] And how much of an impact do you think this will have?
[21:08.560 -> 21:12.960] Like, you know, like over the season, like how much percentage?
[21:12.960 -> 21:15.040] I mean, like, yeah, like I just try to understand like,
[21:16.000 -> 21:19.120] you know, what kind of an advantage are you looking at for like a team
[21:19.120 -> 21:21.120] that's placed behind like the top teams?
[21:21.840 -> 21:24.960] How much will it help in them like catching up to the front of the pack?
[21:24.960 -> 21:25.160] Will it actually make it that competitive? I think so. I don't know, Sarang. behind the top teams. How much will it help in them catching up to the front of the pack?
[21:25.160 -> 21:27.040] Will it actually make it that competitive?
[21:27.040 -> 21:30.320] I think so. I don't know, Sarang. What do you think?
[21:30.320 -> 21:34.080] Probably. I mean, we can see that Williams definitely has made a jump. I mean, of course,
[21:34.080 -> 21:39.760] they were not last, but they were what, 8th, I think. So, they got significantly more win
[21:39.760 -> 21:44.160] tunnel time than the top four teams. And we can definitely see that they have made a huge
[21:44.160 -> 21:45.680] jump. So, I think it does help.
[21:45.680 -> 21:51.680] But the interesting part now, while you were saying that is what I figured is, I don't
[21:51.680 -> 21:56.320] know how Mercedes has used their wind tunnel testing time, because they came up with this
[21:56.320 -> 22:02.640] whole sideboard concept, which completely shat on their face.
[22:02.640 -> 22:05.000] And Hamilton has been really vocal about it as well.
[22:05.000 -> 22:06.000] Exactly.
[22:06.000 -> 22:11.000] So I am curious, the actual data from wind tunnel versus what got adopted.
[22:11.000 -> 22:12.000] I mean, they should make this public.
[22:12.000 -> 22:15.000] If it is, then someone listening like point us there.
[22:15.000 -> 22:20.000] But I want to really see, you know, data if there is available.
[22:20.000 -> 22:29.000] And this is what CFD showed, wind tunnel testing showed, was adopted. I don't think you'll get that data anyway because they're gonna protect it with their life.
[22:29.000 -> 22:33.000] Yeah, you just try to figure out who fucked up.
[22:33.000 -> 22:38.000] Yeah, maybe he was on the phone.
[22:38.000 -> 22:46.000] Yeah, he said it side was fine. Completely unrelated, but... Now, coming back to Red Bull, man.
[22:46.000 -> 22:48.000] Question to y'all. Do you think
[22:48.000 -> 22:50.000] Perez is actually a king of
[22:50.000 -> 22:52.000] street circuit now? Oh, good question, man.
[22:52.000 -> 22:54.000] Hells yeah. Yeah, man.
[22:54.000 -> 22:56.000] Yeah, yeah, like, now that I've already
[22:56.000 -> 22:58.000] mentioned it, yeah. It makes
[22:58.000 -> 23:00.000] a lot of sense. Yeah. And
[23:00.000 -> 23:02.000] it's awesome that he was able to hold his
[23:02.000 -> 23:04.000] ground in the second race of the
[23:04.000 -> 23:08.240] season because, like, at least last season he was nowhere near Max at the start of the season.
[23:08.240 -> 23:10.320] But he kind of caught up by the end of it.
[23:10.320 -> 23:10.720] Yeah.
[23:10.720 -> 23:15.120] Last race, it felt to me, it's going to be a repeat of the previous season.
[23:15.120 -> 23:17.720] It's going to take a while for him to get used to the car and catch up.
[23:17.720 -> 23:19.680] But he was definitely fast.
[23:19.680 -> 23:22.040] I mean, of course, Max also had some issues going on.
[23:22.840 -> 23:27.000] But still, I think he held Max off for a good amount of time.
[23:27.000 -> 23:28.000] Yup, yup, exactly.
[23:28.000 -> 23:31.000] And I think that is pretty significant, you know.
[23:31.000 -> 23:36.000] If only just in terms of making the season interesting.
[23:36.000 -> 23:40.000] You know, so just like not have Max run away with his third title in a row.
[23:40.000 -> 23:44.000] It's just getting too easy for him now compared to anybody else.
[23:44.000 -> 23:49.080] So, yeah, I have really high hopes for Perez this season.
[23:49.080 -> 23:52.480] And also I think there's more street circuits this year.
[23:52.480 -> 23:53.480] There's Vegas also.
[23:53.480 -> 23:54.480] Vegas, Miami.
[23:54.480 -> 23:55.480] There's one big street circuit, right?
[23:55.480 -> 23:56.480] Miami is already there.
[23:56.480 -> 23:57.480] Yeah, Azerbaijan.
[23:57.480 -> 23:58.480] Many, I think.
[23:58.480 -> 23:59.480] There's a bunch.
[23:59.480 -> 24:00.480] Yeah, there's a bunch.
[24:00.480 -> 24:10.680] But I know why we're laughing because I know where we are going next, which is basically Max's brutal, honest shenanigans
[24:10.680 -> 24:11.680] that he pulls up.
[24:11.680 -> 24:12.680] Did you see this?
[24:12.680 -> 24:18.600] The fact that he in the cool down room, he went and sat on Perez's chair.
[24:18.600 -> 24:19.600] Oh really?
[24:19.600 -> 24:20.600] Not his own chair.
[24:20.600 -> 24:21.600] Oh wow.
[24:21.600 -> 24:22.600] Pow move bro.
[24:22.600 -> 24:23.600] Pow move.
[24:23.600 -> 24:24.600] What a guy dude.
[24:24.600 -> 24:26.500] I saw a meme about that like
[24:27.500 -> 24:28.500] Perez,
[24:28.500 -> 24:31.000] Vastapan and Alonso are sitting on the seats
[24:31.000 -> 24:33.000] and Perez is like standing there.
[24:33.000 -> 24:34.500] And the meme saying that
[24:34.500 -> 24:38.500] so great of Max of allowing Perez to host the cool down room this time.
[24:41.500 -> 24:42.500] Jesus.
[24:42.500 -> 24:45.280] Have you guys been like on formula dank this season?
[24:45.280 -> 24:48.320] I haven't actually checked it out yet.
[24:48.320 -> 24:49.320] I should.
[24:49.320 -> 24:50.320] I should.
[24:50.320 -> 24:51.320] That's my stress buster.
[24:51.320 -> 24:52.320] Yeah.
[24:52.320 -> 24:53.320] Max.
[24:53.320 -> 24:54.320] Yeah.
[24:54.320 -> 24:59.320] But speaking of still speaking of Max, right?
[24:59.320 -> 25:04.440] What's your take on Joss Osterpil's reaction to Perez celebrating?
[25:04.440 -> 25:05.000] Oh, I didn't.
[25:05.000 -> 25:05.960] I missed that.
[25:05.960 -> 25:06.460] Yeah.
[25:06.460 -> 25:07.200] And let him know.
[25:07.200 -> 25:11.160] He basically gone straight face, sort of like,
[25:11.160 -> 25:14.800] I don't want to support this sort of behavior.
[25:14.800 -> 25:17.680] And yeah, the internet's basically shitting on him
[25:17.680 -> 25:19.400] for giving that behavior.
[25:19.400 -> 25:23.720] But then I saw another video where Perez actually
[25:23.720 -> 25:25.320] went ahead and did a good you know
[25:25.320 -> 25:28.800] high-five sort of thing with him and he was all chill about it.
[25:28.800 -> 25:31.800] So I guess... But it wasn't a stone-faced high-five like this.
[25:31.800 -> 25:33.800] It was a yaws thing.
[25:33.800 -> 25:35.800] It was a smiley one.
[25:35.800 -> 25:38.800] But I think it is more of a Dutch behavior than Joss behavior.
[25:38.800 -> 25:40.800] It could be Joss behavior.
[25:40.800 -> 25:42.800] Yeah, maybe a bit of both.
[25:42.800 -> 25:46.840] Can't like put everything down to just he's just Dutch.
[25:46.840 -> 25:49.640] I feel like it's just yours.
[25:49.640 -> 25:55.400] I think, yeah, he's like a little like extra competitive also, probably.
[25:55.400 -> 25:59.520] So even though it's the second race, he's taking things pretty damn serious.
[25:59.800 -> 26:01.840] Yeah, he always is though.
[26:01.840 -> 26:05.460] Like we've always heard stories about him and Max.
[26:05.460 -> 26:06.460] And Max has been very vocal.
[26:06.460 -> 26:10.460] I heard he left him at the petrol pump last night also, after the race.
[26:10.460 -> 26:11.460] Yeah, probably.
[26:11.460 -> 26:12.460] Yeah, so.
[26:12.460 -> 26:19.460] Sharma ji ka ladka came first, so this guy came second.
[26:19.460 -> 26:22.460] But where were we?
[26:22.460 -> 26:24.460] Aramco again, right?
[26:24.460 -> 26:46.800] Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Aramco, Ar So now we are in America.
[26:46.800 -> 26:49.300] So let's talk about Logan Sargent, I guess.
[26:49.300 -> 26:55.900] Yeah, he like, what did he come like 12th yesterday, but like he was in the points.
[26:55.900 -> 26:58.000] No, I think he ended up 15th or something.
[26:58.000 -> 26:59.200] Really? Oh, okay.
[26:59.200 -> 27:01.900] I know at one point we were rooting for him to win.
[27:01.900 -> 27:03.900] Yeah, I remember you were like, I want to win.
[27:03.900 -> 27:05.200] But then he just fell through the ranks.
[27:05.200 -> 27:10.000] I think he used up his tyres a little bit too early in the race and then he just had to maintain.
[27:10.000 -> 27:12.000] Yeah, others just passed by.
[27:12.000 -> 27:15.000] I think Gasly, Yocon, all of them just overtook him.
[27:15.000 -> 27:17.500] But I think overall he has a lot of potential.
[27:17.500 -> 27:20.500] We could see that a bit in the qualification as well.
[27:20.500 -> 27:22.500] In Q1, he put in a brilliant lap.
[27:22.500 -> 27:25.440] I think, unfortunately, he crossed into the,
[27:26.560 -> 27:31.200] I don't know what that painted area is called, but yeah, and the pink place,
[27:33.520 -> 27:38.000] he walked into the pink place and lost his lap and after that he was not able to put a clean lap
[27:38.000 -> 27:43.360] at all. Yeah, he just lost his cool after that. Yeah, it's tough to do that after the pink place.
[27:43.520 -> 27:54.240] school after that. Yeah, it's tough to do that after the pink place. I don't know, like yeah, like let's let's talk about like the midfield a little bit.
[27:54.240 -> 27:58.560] Sure, man. Yeah. There's some some action going on there. And we didn't see that.
[27:58.560 -> 28:02.480] Unfortunately, yeah, they didn't show much. I think there was also some action going on with
[28:02.480 -> 28:05.000] like KMAG and Halkenberg. I didn't want to see like that 10th place. I think there was also some action going on with like KMAG and Halkenberg.
[28:05.000 -> 28:09.000] Yeah, I really want to see like that 10th place. I think like they showed it like at the finish line.
[28:09.000 -> 28:11.000] At the finish, yes.
[28:11.000 -> 28:14.000] But yeah, like I mean there were some good battles there.
[28:14.000 -> 28:21.000] I remember one moment I enjoyed a lot was, I think Yuki was 11th or something, right? 11th?
[28:21.000 -> 28:25.000] Yuki was 11th and K Mac? K Mac got 10th.
[28:25.000 -> 28:26.000] He got one point.
[28:26.000 -> 28:27.000] I enjoyed Yuki's scream.
[28:27.000 -> 28:28.000] It was very Yuki.
[28:28.000 -> 28:29.000] It was kind of like just really like high pitched and small.
[28:29.000 -> 28:30.000] The awesome thing is he pressed the radio button just to scream.
[28:30.000 -> 28:31.000] Yeah.
[28:31.000 -> 28:32.000] And that's it.
[28:32.000 -> 28:33.000] That's it.
[28:33.000 -> 28:34.000] I love him bro.
[28:34.000 -> 28:35.000] Like he's developing into like one of the most like fun characters.
[28:35.000 -> 28:36.000] Totally man.
[28:36.000 -> 28:37.000] I love him.
[28:37.000 -> 28:38.000] And I really, I'm like I feel like I'm really going to miss that.
[28:38.000 -> 28:39.000] I'm going to miss that.
[28:39.000 -> 28:40.000] I'm going to miss that.
[28:40.000 -> 28:41.000] I'm going to miss that.
[28:41.000 -> 28:42.000] I'm going to miss that.
[28:42.000 -> 28:43.000] I'm going to miss that.
[28:43.000 -> 28:44.000] I'm going to miss that.
[28:44.000 -> 28:46.000] I'm going to miss that. I'm going to miss that. I'm going to miss that. I'm going to miss that. I'm going to miss that. I love him bro. He is developing into one of the most fun characters.
[28:46.000 -> 28:48.000] Totally man. I love him.
[28:48.000 -> 28:54.000] I feel like I am really going to miss that Yuki, Pierre camaraderie.
[28:54.000 -> 28:56.000] But yeah on their own also like
[28:56.000 -> 28:58.000] I mean yeah now it's just Yuki.
[28:58.000 -> 29:00.000] Just Yuki. Yeah.
[29:00.000 -> 29:02.000] But still a good drive.
[29:02.000 -> 29:04.000] Definitely a good drive.
[29:04.000 -> 29:06.000] Getting to 10th and almost getting that 10th position.
[29:06.000 -> 29:08.000] But ending up 11th.
[29:08.000 -> 29:10.000] Yeah man, brilliant drive.
[29:10.000 -> 29:12.000] Yeah, I think another person
[29:12.000 -> 29:14.000] who did brilliantly was Piastri.
[29:14.000 -> 29:16.000] Oh yeah, yeah. I mean of course he didn't
[29:16.000 -> 29:18.000] end up well, but I think he was driving pretty well.
[29:18.000 -> 29:20.000] At least one Australian doing good.
[29:20.000 -> 29:22.000] Yeah, yeah.
[29:22.000 -> 29:24.000] The other guy is just rolling in the money.
[29:24.000 -> 29:25.120] Yeah, that's hilarious.
[29:25.120 -> 29:26.640] And of course he had to like pit.
[29:26.640 -> 29:27.920] And oh yeah, by the way,
[29:27.920 -> 29:30.880] Piastri I think pulled off a reverse Albon, I think, right?
[29:30.880 -> 29:31.840] Was it him?
[29:31.840 -> 29:34.480] Yeah, he did.
[29:34.480 -> 29:35.760] He did.
[29:35.760 -> 29:37.120] He did.
[29:37.120 -> 29:38.240] He stopped first lap,
[29:38.240 -> 29:39.680] did front wing damage.
[29:39.680 -> 29:44.000] 49 laps on hards after that.
[29:44.000 -> 29:46.000] That's crazy.
[29:46.000 -> 29:48.000] And then why did Lando stop?
[29:48.000 -> 29:50.000] Did he also clip someone or was it a bit of a foreplay
[29:50.000 -> 29:52.000] that I wanted you to stop doing as well?
[29:52.000 -> 29:54.000] Yeah.
[29:54.000 -> 29:56.000] I mean he pitted 6 times last time.
[29:56.000 -> 29:58.000] So he wanted to like
[29:58.000 -> 30:00.000] come close to that again.
[30:00.000 -> 30:02.000] Oh in like Paris? Last race.
[30:02.000 -> 30:04.000] I was like oh my god.
[30:04.000 -> 30:05.100] His car was passing gas.
[30:05.100 -> 30:08.900] So that's actually what happened.
[30:08.900 -> 30:10.500] Just like us.
[30:10.500 -> 30:12.500] It's actually his car farting on the bike.
[30:12.500 -> 30:18.500] Speaking of Piastri and McLaren deep watching, right?
[30:18.500 -> 30:23.700] It wasn't the fact that Piastri and Lando were the last two.
[30:23.700 -> 30:27.760] There was a brilliant person in his 8th version at this point of time.
[30:27.760 -> 30:30.400] Who was splitting the McLaren.
[30:30.400 -> 30:31.120] Yeah.
[30:31.120 -> 30:32.640] What happened there?
[30:32.640 -> 30:33.840] What the f**k was going on?
[30:33.840 -> 30:34.400] I don't know.
[30:34.400 -> 30:35.920] Did you guys check out?
[30:35.920 -> 30:37.280] I did not actually.
[30:37.280 -> 30:38.560] I really don't know what happened.
[30:38.560 -> 30:39.520] It's a mystery.
[30:39.520 -> 30:40.080] It's a mystery.
[30:40.080 -> 30:43.840] He finished like 39 seconds behind or something.
[30:43.840 -> 30:44.800] Something crazy.
[30:44.800 -> 30:47.300] He is the only driver who got lapped.
[30:47.300 -> 30:48.400] Oh wow.
[30:48.400 -> 30:50.700] Bottas is the only driver who got lapped.
[30:50.700 -> 30:52.900] And what about Kuan Yu? Where did he finish?
[30:52.900 -> 30:55.900] He is up, not in the points but he is I think up there.
[30:55.900 -> 30:58.700] He was up there. So I don't know what's going on with Bottas.
[30:58.700 -> 31:01.000] I think last race he did pretty well. He got a point right?
[31:01.000 -> 31:02.500] Or two points, something like that.
[31:02.500 -> 31:04.900] No, no, no. Bottas I think he got a point.
[31:04.900 -> 31:07.000] I think so. But I don't know what happened this race.
[31:07.000 -> 31:09.000] Botas is all over the place. Mystery.
[31:09.000 -> 31:13.000] He is going that winter racing. He did that in January.
[31:13.000 -> 31:19.000] He is news that he is gonna race or do something some other promotional event in Adelaide this weekend.
[31:19.000 -> 31:23.000] Damn. He is already looking for alt career.
[31:23.000 -> 31:26.520] He is still missing his ex man. He just can't get past Hamilton.
[31:26.520 -> 31:32.240] I thought that was his like the haircut, the hairdo he got.
[31:32.240 -> 31:36.120] I thought it was a, you know, like artist hairdo.
[31:36.120 -> 31:38.480] Like this year is just going to be inspirational for Gota.
[31:38.480 -> 31:40.280] Just super free, super chill.
[31:40.280 -> 31:42.920] Now I think it's a burnout haircut.
[31:42.920 -> 31:46.000] I can't even get a haircut right now. I don't know what I am doing.
[31:46.000 -> 31:48.000] Maybe. But like I hope he picks up.
[31:48.000 -> 31:50.000] Because, yeah,
[31:50.000 -> 31:52.000] just again one of the characters
[31:52.000 -> 31:54.000] that I feel like I just
[31:54.000 -> 31:56.000] really enjoy having in the school.
[31:56.000 -> 31:58.000] But he has always been like all over the place.
[31:58.000 -> 32:00.000] I think like even when he was
[32:00.000 -> 32:02.000] in Mercedes he had like these good
[32:02.000 -> 32:04.000] races where he would perform so well.
[32:04.000 -> 32:08.720] And then other times he would be nowhere. Like he would be like sixth, seventh or something like that.
[32:09.120 -> 32:11.520] He used to say to whomsoever it may concern.
[32:12.400 -> 32:14.720] And then now it feels like he used to say it to himself.
[32:14.720 -> 32:15.920] Himself? Yeah, sure.
[32:18.480 -> 32:18.880] Oh my.
[32:18.880 -> 32:22.160] But he's the only one who got lapped and made three pit stops. I don't know why.
[32:23.040 -> 32:25.800] Yeah, I mean, again, that's something we'll probably look into
[32:25.800 -> 32:27.720] after the recording and all of that.
[32:27.720 -> 32:30.720] And if we find out, we'll put up stories.
[32:30.720 -> 32:34.200] But right now, I'm just lost.
[32:34.200 -> 32:35.560] By the way, I have to ask you this.
[32:35.560 -> 32:36.560] What is B-Ball?
[32:36.560 -> 32:39.680] Oh, it's a basketball, but it's short.
[32:39.680 -> 32:42.200] Oh, that's right.
[32:42.200 -> 32:47.600] So yeah, it's crazy that these two sports have converged in such a way.
[32:47.600 -> 32:50.840] But yeah, it's it's stumped the commentators also.
[32:50.840 -> 32:53.840] They were like, how how NBA how?
[32:53.840 -> 33:04.480] To be fair, I when I heard that, obviously, we're talking about the message between Hanna
[33:04.480 -> 33:05.200] and Max, right?
[33:05.200 -> 33:07.500] About the Bebell being off or whatever.
[33:07.500 -> 33:09.160] I didn't know what they were talking about,
[33:09.160 -> 33:10.400] but I'm not a commentator.
[33:10.400 -> 33:13.160] I was just quietly just watching the race
[33:13.160 -> 33:15.000] till someone asks, what's Bebell?
[33:15.000 -> 33:16.320] I thought it would come from the table.
[33:16.320 -> 33:17.960] Someone would be like, what's Bebell?
[33:17.960 -> 33:19.800] It came from the TV, bro.
[33:20.760 -> 33:21.600] What is Bebell?
[33:22.800 -> 33:24.640] Like, what?
[33:24.640 -> 33:26.000] You tell me bro.
[33:26.000 -> 33:28.000] What's going on?
[33:28.000 -> 33:30.000] And like I remember
[33:30.000 -> 33:32.000] you guys got so out here
[33:32.000 -> 33:34.000] It's break balance bro. What the f**k?
[33:36.000 -> 33:38.000] Oh man, everybody they heard that.
[33:38.000 -> 33:40.000] I don't know who was on the commentary
[33:40.000 -> 33:42.000] at that point.
[33:42.000 -> 33:44.000] Imagine if David Poulter was sitting on the point
[33:44.000 -> 33:46.480] and we comment and asking what his name was.
[33:48.600 -> 33:50.000] Oh, by the way, you met him, right?
[33:50.400 -> 33:51.000] I did.
[33:51.040 -> 33:52.200] What was that all about?
[33:52.200 -> 33:54.760] He's a gem of a guy.
[33:54.960 -> 33:55.480] At the thing?
[33:55.480 -> 33:56.400] At the thing.
[33:56.400 -> 33:56.800] Yeah.
[33:56.800 -> 34:01.000] And I couldn't go on Sunday because I had like a family thing, but I
[34:01.000 -> 34:06.800] could like, thanks to Red Bull India, especially Porosha who hooked us up.
[34:06.800 -> 34:16.040] But it was brilliant dude, that guy is so down to earth like you know not taking the PR route to sort of like sway around his tough questions.
[34:16.040 -> 34:19.740] Yeah, just a brilliant feeling.
[34:19.740 -> 34:21.740] Sweet man, what did you just talk about?
[34:21.740 -> 34:25.000] So I got a chance to ask him two questions.
[34:25.000 -> 34:31.160] One was, if he could not drive the RB7, which is what he was driving, Mark Webber's car
[34:31.160 -> 34:32.160] from 2011.
[34:32.160 -> 34:34.920] So if not that, what would he want to drive?
[34:34.920 -> 34:42.200] And he said he would probably want to drive the RB19, the current car, to see how that
[34:42.200 -> 34:46.960] is in today's day and age. And then I think I broke him when I asked him,
[34:46.960 -> 34:53.280] would you want to go back? The current cars are V6. So V6 versus V8 versus V10.
[34:55.600 -> 35:02.480] That's basically what happened. So I think I broke him. But he's fine. We saw him in my life and well.
[35:03.000 -> 35:05.000] But he's fine. We saw him in my life and well. They did a reset on him.
[35:05.000 -> 35:13.000] But imagine right, if he was in the comment and he asked, what is B-Bag?
[35:13.000 -> 35:15.000] Well you broke him, now we know.
[35:15.000 -> 35:16.000] Exactly.
[35:16.000 -> 35:18.000] Now we know, you sent him back.
[35:18.000 -> 35:21.000] It all converges to that one single number.
[35:21.000 -> 35:22.000] It's Akash.
[35:22.000 -> 35:23.000] Blame him.
[35:23.000 -> 35:25.000] Yeah, Wow.
[35:25.000 -> 35:29.760] I think we should make like a reel out of this, you know, just you asking that question
[35:29.760 -> 35:30.760] if you guys have the footage.
[35:30.760 -> 35:31.760] And then what is B-Bal?
[35:31.760 -> 35:32.760] And then what is B-Bal?
[35:32.760 -> 35:37.960] And then like a few days later, what is B-Bal?
[35:37.960 -> 35:41.360] And then just, yeah, we'll get some footage of Akash also post.
[35:41.360 -> 35:42.920] Handbars maybe not.
[35:42.920 -> 35:45.120] I don't know about that.
[35:45.120 -> 35:48.120] But yeah, just your apology video for DC.
[35:48.120 -> 35:50.120] That was interesting.
[35:50.120 -> 35:56.120] The other stuff that made no sense to me was
[35:56.120 -> 35:59.120] and I know like the whole screening room started
[35:59.120 -> 36:01.120] like what the f**k is happening was
[36:01.120 -> 36:01.620] The chicane?
[36:01.620 -> 36:02.120] Chicane?
[36:02.120 -> 36:02.620] Yes.
[36:02.620 -> 36:03.120] Oh yeah.
[36:03.120 -> 36:09.760] Wait, what chicane? I would have probably called it turn 22, 23. But yeah, what chicane. She came. Yes. Oh yeah. What chicken?
[36:10.600 -> 36:11.400] No chicken.
[36:15.160 -> 36:15.760] It was just really, really like what, what happens even in that situation?
[36:15.760 -> 36:18.920] Like Paris went by and then Max was like, of course that's the
[36:18.920 -> 36:19.280] track.
[36:19.320 -> 36:21.080] So he started going by as well from there.
[36:21.080 -> 36:22.200] And then they showed one more.
[36:22.400 -> 36:22.720] Yeah.
[36:22.760 -> 36:26.120] They were just going one after the other, which leads me to like a very interesting
[36:26.120 -> 36:27.120] question.
[36:27.120 -> 36:32.400] If there is something that is clearly illegal, if all drivers do it, then is it still illegal?
[36:32.400 -> 36:33.400] Illegal?
[36:33.400 -> 36:37.520] Like if everybody is getting the same time penalty, what is the point?
[36:37.520 -> 36:40.720] So then they can just drive however they want actually.
[36:40.720 -> 36:41.720] If all of them decide.
[36:41.720 -> 36:42.720] That's a mass bug word.
[36:42.720 -> 36:43.720] Oh my god.
[36:43.720 -> 36:44.720] Oh, that would be brilliant.
[36:44.720 -> 36:46.000] Everyone's got a bug word. If all of them decide That's a mass bunk world Oh my god
[36:46.000 -> 36:48.000] Oh wow that would be brilliant
[36:48.000 -> 36:50.000] Everyone's gonna bunk
[36:50.000 -> 36:52.000] But that's the issue, cause even in mass bunks
[36:52.000 -> 36:54.000] There's always that kid
[36:54.000 -> 36:56.000] Who will not break the rules right?
[36:56.000 -> 36:58.000] Bro I've come for Vidya baby
[36:58.000 -> 37:00.000] Vidya's left, Vidya's mass bunking bro
[37:00.000 -> 37:02.000] Yes
[37:02.000 -> 37:04.000] Jesus
[37:04.000 -> 37:06.000] Who do you think that would be?
[37:06.000 -> 37:08.000] Who would be the one guy who is a stickler for nudes?
[37:08.000 -> 37:10.000] Russell.
[37:10.000 -> 37:12.000] For sure.
[37:12.000 -> 37:14.000] Undoubtedly.
[37:14.000 -> 37:16.000] For sure.
[37:16.000 -> 37:18.000] Oh man. The hate.
[37:18.000 -> 37:20.000] But speaking of nerds
[37:20.000 -> 37:22.000] getting thrown away.
[37:22.000 -> 37:24.000] There's this famous
[37:24.000 -> 37:27.200] nerd who's... I call him a nerd but like he's been
[37:27.200 -> 37:33.120] shat on so much, Martin Brundle. Have you seen this footage of him trying to interview
[37:33.120 -> 37:38.160] Will Smith? No. I mean I've obviously seen his... Yeah, Brundle's just got like so many
[37:38.160 -> 37:42.640] weird interviews. I can't recall the Will Smith. No, from Saudi. Oh really? Oh, from
[37:42.640 -> 37:48.280] yesterday? No, I didn't see it. So Will Smith was there and obviously Brindle is trying to get an interview
[37:48.280 -> 37:53.980] and then he's stopped by some guy who's in a VIP badge, I wanna call his Will Smith's
[37:53.980 -> 38:02.280] sponsor, probably hired two extra folks not to just get slapped. So someone comes up and
[38:02.280 -> 38:10.000] asks Brindle what does he want and he's like I just want one question and after some back and forth like two people on the other side they agree.
[38:10.000 -> 38:15.200] Brundle cheekily gets in two questions and then says oh yeah I think I've run out of
[38:15.200 -> 38:16.920] questions that I can ask and I'm gonna leave.
[38:16.920 -> 38:21.400] But point being Brundle is official FIA from Sky.
[38:21.400 -> 38:24.320] Dude did you not see Meghandi Stallion last year?
[38:24.320 -> 38:25.360] No I haven't seen year? Same thing happened.
[38:25.360 -> 38:29.440] Yeah, like, yeah, he didn't even speak to me. The bouncer actually pushed him off.
[38:29.440 -> 38:34.160] Yeah, and Brenner got paced like he had some epic comeback. Yeah, I can't remember now.
[38:35.600 -> 38:38.720] But I was like, yo, that's sassy, bro. You know, like,
[38:39.520 -> 38:49.800] at times I sort of miss Bernie Eccleston. That guy had the motto of this is an elite sport and sort of like be a sellout.
[38:49.800 -> 38:50.800] Yeah.
[38:50.800 -> 38:53.800] But I keep coming back to America.
[38:53.800 -> 38:57.800] It's capitalistic at this point with Liberty Media.
[38:57.800 -> 39:02.800] Is it always like American celebrities that have like run-ins with Brenton?
[39:02.800 -> 39:03.800] Yeah, usually.
[39:03.800 -> 39:04.800] Yeah.
[39:04.800 -> 39:05.980] Usually, yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. American celebrities that have like run-ins with Brenton? Yeah usually.
[39:05.980 -> 39:11.420] That's the pattern right there. The whole point I'm trying to make is maybe American celebs have the same.
[39:11.420 -> 39:17.060] Yeah there's someone. But like dude there's so many like celebrities also who are
[39:17.060 -> 39:20.500] actually like super passionate about racing you know like Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise.
[39:20.500 -> 39:25.160] He really is one you know like he knows he's a racer.
[39:25.160 -> 39:28.240] He can drive a Formula 1 car for crying out loud.
[39:28.240 -> 39:34.440] So yeah, I don't know why if it's just a PR move.
[39:34.440 -> 39:39.520] I don't think it reflects well on F1 or on the person who is attending.
[39:39.520 -> 39:40.520] Even the celebrity right?
[39:40.520 -> 39:50.480] Yeah, so like, just find out the people who actually care. Like I remember, like even if, you know, it's not someone who's like associated with racing
[39:50.480 -> 39:51.480] in any way.
[39:51.480 -> 39:59.040] I remember once NBA player Jimmy Butler had, he had done like some stuff with McLaren.
[39:59.040 -> 40:02.920] Like, I think you might have seen that one where like Lando's driving him in a McLaren
[40:02.920 -> 40:05.120] sports car around the back. And a sports person was super enthusiastic to be there. And then like, that's driving him in a McLaren sports car around the back and
[40:05.120 -> 40:09.160] a sports person was super enthusiastic to be there and that's like one of my favorite
[40:09.160 -> 40:13.680] clips I watch it over and over so yeah just like select these people more carefully it's
[40:13.680 -> 40:17.840] like otherwise it just yeah like you said it just feels too much like a sellout.
[40:17.840 -> 40:20.960] Send them to F2F3, get them a training pair.
[40:20.960 -> 40:22.880] Get a little passionate about it.
[40:22.880 -> 40:23.880] Earn your stripes.
[40:23.880 -> 40:26.240] That's a good plan.
[40:26.240 -> 40:29.240] My classes are only given out based on your experiences.
[40:29.240 -> 40:32.240] Exactly, like how you behave there,
[40:32.240 -> 40:34.240] how you wave the check out flag.
[40:34.240 -> 40:36.240] You guys are missing the main thing. Cash is king.
[40:36.240 -> 40:38.240] That is true.
[40:38.240 -> 40:40.240] That's all that matters dude.
[40:40.240 -> 40:42.240] You can't tip your way.
[40:42.240 -> 40:44.240] Yeah.
[40:44.240 -> 40:47.800] Cash is king just like Haas, you know, still dealing with the Russians.
[40:48.680 -> 40:49.180] Why?
[40:49.200 -> 40:49.700] Yeah.
[40:49.700 -> 40:51.200] What do you think will ever come out of that?
[40:51.680 -> 40:52.480] I don't think so, man.
[40:52.480 -> 40:56.120] I don't think anything will because like they're a billion dollar company and I
[40:56.120 -> 41:00.960] think they violated like 2.4 million dollars or something.
[41:00.960 -> 41:04.600] So more, more likely than not, it's possibly just an error or something.
[41:04.800 -> 41:07.600] Sub subcontractor or something was still dealing with it. But,
[41:08.240 -> 41:11.760] but I would love to see this, that they are banned from racing in America.
[41:11.760 -> 41:12.800] That would be so much fun.
[41:15.520 -> 41:16.880] An American team not allowed to race in America.
[41:20.320 -> 41:22.960] And there's three races this year. Three races. Exactly.
[41:28.880 -> 41:35.760] Speak of Haas, like just coming back to the race for a second. So I want to give a special shout out to Nico Hulkenberg for driving how I drive sometimes.
[41:35.760 -> 41:40.320] Because he was on a straight and somehow he just strayed and hit the side.
[41:40.320 -> 41:42.320] I think he was defending.
[41:42.320 -> 41:46.000] I think he was looking the other way or something. His car just went like this.
[41:46.000 -> 41:48.000] That's like.
[41:48.000 -> 41:50.000] I think he was defending Logan Sargent at that point.
[41:50.000 -> 41:52.000] He was just on his tail.
[41:52.000 -> 41:54.000] And I think he was trying to look into the mirror
[41:54.000 -> 41:56.000] seeing where he is.
[41:56.000 -> 41:58.000] Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what happened. Literally me bro.
[41:58.000 -> 42:00.000] Thanks Niko.
[42:00.000 -> 42:02.000] Oh man.
[42:02.000 -> 42:04.000] Well,
[42:04.000 -> 42:08.000] I think from this race we have learnt one thing that
[42:08.000 -> 42:13.000] Ver Per Allo is possibly our future at least for this season.
[42:13.000 -> 42:15.000] Regretfully yes.
[42:15.000 -> 42:17.000] Like I only enjoy the Allo part of that.
[42:17.000 -> 42:18.000] Right.
[42:18.000 -> 42:24.000] The rest I think I just want to see Perez win.
[42:24.000 -> 42:31.760] It's going to be very Nico Rosberg, very, you know, and then, yeah, like, I don't know
[42:31.760 -> 42:34.240] how much, how many years does he have in his contract?
[42:34.240 -> 42:35.240] Oh, good point.
[42:35.240 -> 42:36.240] I think this is last year.
[42:36.240 -> 42:39.800] I mean, I might be wrong about that.
[42:39.800 -> 42:41.160] No, no, I think it is this year.
[42:41.160 -> 42:43.640] Because last year he signed on after Monaco, right?
[42:43.640 -> 42:44.640] An extension.
[42:44.640 -> 42:45.880] Yeah, that was for this was.
[42:45.880 -> 42:46.880] So this is the extension here.
[42:47.320 -> 42:48.960] Or he has a, does he have one more after that?
[42:49.240 -> 42:50.120] I'm not sure either.
[42:50.200 -> 42:50.560] Yeah.
[42:51.160 -> 42:55.400] But either way, like if say hypothetically, this was his last year at Red Bull.
[42:56.160 -> 43:00.000] Imagine going out like that, just like beating Max.
[43:00.000 -> 43:04.040] I don't think they will not renew his contract if he wins the championship for sure.
[43:04.040 -> 43:07.840] Like, of course they would want two people who are completely able to win it. But yeah, I don't think they will not renew his contract if he wins the championship for sure. Like, of course, they would want two people who are completely able to win it.
[43:08.240 -> 43:09.040] But yeah, I don't know.
[43:09.040 -> 43:12.880] Like at the same time, we have seen Red Bull favour Max a lot.
[43:12.880 -> 43:15.720] And very honestly, I'm not even sure they would let him win.
[43:16.080 -> 43:16.800] That's my point.
[43:16.800 -> 43:20.560] Like if he wins, despite all of that, which is clearly going to happen
[43:20.680 -> 43:23.440] more and more through the rest of the season.
[43:23.440 -> 43:28.680] And like even in even in 16, you know, like there was so much like, I mean, from outside, there
[43:28.680 -> 43:33.320] looked like a lot of apparent toxicity between the two sides in the camp.
[43:33.320 -> 43:37.480] So being in a situation like that, someone like Nico Rosberg walked away from the sport
[43:37.480 -> 43:41.360] because it was just, I feel like that was one of the main reasons, you know, apart from
[43:41.360 -> 43:43.440] obviously achieving his dream.
[43:43.440 -> 43:51.560] But yeah, like that would be a cool like see if I was Perez like Perez the protagonist yeah that
[43:51.560 -> 43:55.640] would be cool to watch so maybe that's just like my big hope for the season
[43:55.640 -> 44:04.280] because no hopes from McLaren unfortunately so yeah I'm just planning Sergio now
[44:04.280 -> 44:05.000] and Ferrari either I had like man okay forget it I don't know get into it but unfortunately. So yeah I am just planning Sergio now.
[44:05.000 -> 44:09.000] And Ferrari either. I had like man, okay forget it. I don't want to get into it.
[44:09.000 -> 44:10.000] But yeah.
[44:10.000 -> 44:12.000] Ferrari is fine. Safe space.
[44:12.000 -> 44:16.000] No man, Ferrari like it's just sad the state they are in.
[44:16.000 -> 44:25.460] It's, last year first few races it was like oh wow Ferrari is finally back after the years that they have spent you know
[44:25.460 -> 44:34.560] with wet airline and everything but yeah it's just the same of everything yeah exactly on
[44:34.560 -> 44:42.880] the couch also on the couch well planned right but well I think what's next Australia right
[44:42.880 -> 44:47.880] yeah Australia is up yeah it's in two weeks don't know if we were talking about this yesterday,
[44:47.880 -> 44:53.640] but like you said, there's, I think, two triple headers this year, right?
[44:53.640 -> 44:55.080] Yeah, and that too, back to back.
[44:55.080 -> 44:57.520] Like, I think there's just one week gap in between them as well.
[44:57.520 -> 44:58.840] That's very weird.
[44:58.840 -> 45:00.080] It's just wild.
[45:00.080 -> 45:04.120] I can't imagine, like, all the crew of all the teams,
[45:04.120 -> 45:05.460] you know, what they're going to go through.
[45:05.460 -> 45:09.260] During the next 6-7 weeks. It's going to be insane.
[45:10.760 -> 45:16.900] But I'm not too hopeful like in the shortest term, like I'm not too hopeful from Australia as well.
[45:16.900 -> 45:19.900] Because the news is there's going to be 4 DRS zones.
[45:19.900 -> 45:20.900] Wow.
[45:20.900 -> 45:24.400] So at which point I feel like except the Curbs, the whole track is at DRS.
[45:24.400 -> 45:25.400] Pretty much. So the point I'm trying to make curves, the whole track is in DRS. Pretty much.
[45:25.400 -> 45:29.800] So the point I am trying to make is if everyone is first, no one is first.
[45:29.800 -> 45:30.800] Right?
[45:30.800 -> 45:32.800] So the whole track is in DRS zone.
[45:32.800 -> 45:33.800] Yeah.
[45:33.800 -> 45:34.800] It's insane.
[45:34.800 -> 45:38.800] I think last year as well they had 4, then they reduced 1 or something like that.
[45:38.800 -> 45:43.800] I think they, yeah, either they made 4 to 3 or 3 to 2 or something like that.
[45:43.800 -> 45:46.000] But nothing has come out yet.
[45:46.000 -> 45:50.000] But one race that I am really looking forward to this season is the Spanish GP.
[45:50.000 -> 45:54.000] Because they have finally fixed that f**king chicane at the end.
[45:54.000 -> 45:58.000] I mean I feel like the way things are going they wouldn't have followed that chicane anyway.
[45:58.000 -> 46:00.000] They will just mass bunk.
[46:04.000 -> 46:22.520] Except Russell. so well on that bombshell Saudi bombshell anyways I'll be back next year
[46:22.520 -> 46:28.000] for next year's Saudi Grand Prix. See you then. Bye bye.
