[00:00.000 -> 00:24.000] And F1 is back and so is the F1 money gang.
[00:24.000 -> 00:32.100] Man, it feels like forever and we're finally here first race of the weekend and it's our first episode of 2023
[00:32.600 -> 00:37.160] So it's been a fun vacation past three months spending time with our family and friends
[00:37.160 -> 00:41.500] But the real friends are right here right now the f1 fam
[00:41.960 -> 00:43.960] but before we get into all the
[00:44.560 -> 00:47.400] Fun stuff for the Bahrain GP, I wanted
[00:47.400 -> 00:52.680] to just kind of give an update, give some cool new things that are happening in 2023
[00:52.680 -> 00:59.160] with the F1MG family here. The first thing is, is we got a new website out where we're
[00:59.160 -> 01:04.160] actually posting articles. So yes, we do have a Discord. Yes, we all have Twitter channels,
[01:04.160 -> 01:05.880] but this is a great opportunity for you to actually
[01:06.560 -> 01:10.800] dig into all the articles we're writing whether it's about the wagers or
[01:11.920 -> 01:18.200] Fantasy or DFS content we have increased our tipsters and mods. We do have more
[01:19.400 -> 01:27.360] People in there our discord again. We have some of the best f1 cappers in the world get into the discord
[01:27.360 -> 01:33.200] get in on our website you'll get some of the best content there we are increasing our exposure to
[01:33.200 -> 01:38.480] the dfs side the fantasy sports side as well so we're going to have a lot of content going there
[01:38.480 -> 01:47.240] we actually have added recently a new tipster for that as. We do plan on doing more live streams, some podcast content.
[01:47.240 -> 01:51.360] As you can see, we're doing a live feed here too.
[01:51.360 -> 01:53.560] And we have increased our partnership.
[01:53.560 -> 01:55.620] We actually just a couple of days ago,
[01:55.620 -> 01:58.400] released our announcement to our partnership
[01:58.400 -> 01:59.600] with the Grid Rivals.
[01:59.600 -> 02:02.520] So we do have the link that we'll be able
[02:02.520 -> 02:03.660] to send to you guys.
[02:03.660 -> 02:06.160] We really recommend everyone to get in there.
[02:06.160 -> 02:10.880] It's a lot of fun, a little bit different than what F1 Fantasy has,
[02:10.880 -> 02:12.760] and it's going to be pretty fun.
[02:12.760 -> 02:15.240] Grid Rivals is a great company and great partnership,
[02:15.240 -> 02:17.520] and we're looking forward to growing with them.
[02:17.520 -> 02:21.000] And we're still continuing our partnership with Thunderdog as well.
[02:21.000 -> 02:22.440] Still going strong.
[02:22.440 -> 02:26.260] 100% match deposit for any new user.
[02:26.260 -> 02:28.100] You know, we have the same link,
[02:28.100 -> 02:32.760] or you can use F1MoneyGang as the code.
[02:32.760 -> 02:35.420] And then as well as increasing our data exposure,
[02:35.420 -> 02:36.980] and last but not least,
[02:36.980 -> 02:41.420] we have lots of IndyCar content coming this year too.
[02:41.420 -> 02:44.660] I know we're an F1-centric type of family,
[02:44.660 -> 02:47.840] but we are dabbling in the IndyCar space.
[02:48.560 -> 02:56.640] And speaking of IndyCar, our one and only McButters is currently on site at the St. Pete
[02:56.640 -> 03:06.600] Grand Prix as an IndyCar ambassador, roaming around in the pits rubbing shoulders with Callum Islett and if you
[03:06.600 -> 03:10.040] haven't seen it already he has an interview out you can check out our
[03:10.040 -> 03:16.360] Twitter you can check out actually our F1MG website as well yeah Mech
[03:16.360 -> 03:21.560] you're here I just let's let's quickly go to you very quickly how is it how
[03:21.560 -> 03:27.200] what's what's the vibe like? Man, it is incredible. We have booths on the ground.
[03:27.200 -> 03:30.240] Live action views of everything going on.
[03:30.240 -> 03:33.840] I'm actually sitting in front of the McLaren and the Penske booth right now.
[03:33.840 -> 03:37.520] Like I said, I had a nice interview with Callum earlier.
[03:37.520 -> 03:40.560] I've got a lot more planned up for tomorrow and the rest of the week.
[03:40.560 -> 03:43.600] It's going to be a hell of a time. I can't wait to show everybody.
[03:43.600 -> 03:45.280] It's really just going to hell of a time. I can't wait to show everybody and it's really just gonna be an exciting time
[03:45.760 -> 03:52.940] Yeah, man, I I saw the interview not gonna lie. I'm very jealous. It sounded like you guys were having a great time
[03:54.600 -> 03:59.600] Yeah, so it seems like there's there's lots lots of partying that's gonna happen later it seems like
[04:00.520 -> 04:03.840] But it's really cool. I gotta say man. It's really cool that you're out there and
[04:04.600 -> 04:08.020] Getting around with all the drivers and able to talk to them
[04:09.420 -> 04:13.700] Yeah, so what's your a little crazy, but you know at the end of the day
[04:14.340 -> 04:17.380] Free money Friday. That's first. That's what we're I
[04:17.900 -> 04:22.620] Definitely definitely we'll get to that in a second. We I gotta say that's one thing. I

[04:26.840 -> 04:28.440] with the rest of the crew today.
[04:28.440 -> 04:30.640] We have also Renegade Gambler.
[04:31.520 -> 04:33.260] I like to call him the horse whisperer.
[04:33.260 -> 04:38.260] This dude has been on fire with his horse racing tips.
[04:38.280 -> 04:40.280] Welcome, Renegade, how are you doing, man?
[04:40.280 -> 04:41.120] Thank you.
[04:41.120 -> 04:41.960] Thank you.
[04:41.960 -> 04:46.800] You gotta feel something that F1 off-season with. Yeah, yeah. Just got a thrill sign One off season. Yeah. Yeah
[04:48.560 -> 04:50.920] Just just funding your f1
[04:52.000 -> 04:54.000] gambling money right now
[04:54.680 -> 05:01.520] Yeah, man, that's it's been incredible. And if you guys don't know he is one of the best at horse racing tips
[05:02.160 -> 05:08.000] Alongside with his f1 tips. So get into Discord. He's constantly posting anything with
[05:08.000 -> 05:12.000] horse racing as well as his, he's already got content out as well
[05:12.000 -> 05:16.000] for F1. Got some good pics, we'll get to that in a second.
[05:16.000 -> 05:20.000] Call of Footy, man, I gotta say
[05:20.000 -> 05:24.000] your 8 day parlay just had me
[05:24.000 -> 05:25.040] going nuts.
[05:25.840 -> 05:27.340] That was amazing.
[05:27.340 -> 05:28.000] It was fun.
[05:28.000 -> 05:33.000] And, you know, I was it was the biggest sweat of my life, but, you know,
[05:33.800 -> 05:36.200] I don't want to take credit for it because everybody was, you know,
[05:36.200 -> 05:40.440] we put in we talked, collab with a few guys and we got it in.
[05:40.440 -> 05:44.800] And we made from ten bucks to a thousand and just say, well, it's OK.
[05:44.800 -> 06:06.640] These because of the all star break, it could have been faster, , And, you know, I'm just super excited about what's coming up here with the whole team. I know lights is not here.
[06:06.640 -> 06:10.160] We're missing him right now, but we got a good thing going.
[06:10.160 -> 06:10.960] So I'm excited.
[06:12.160 -> 06:17.280] Yeah, and very quickly, for people that don't know, he was doing a little fun game,
[06:17.280 -> 06:21.440] I guess you want to call it whatever you want to call it, where he just started with ten dollars
[06:21.440 -> 06:24.960] and was doing a NBA parlay on props.
[06:27.240 -> 06:34.400] just started with $10 and was doing a NBA parlay on props. And for eight days, he just kept pressing on each prop, turned $10 into $1,000 and then stopped. That was it. That's
[06:34.400 -> 06:39.400] where that was the goal. And he hit it. So that was awesome. And yes, we are missing
[06:39.400 -> 06:51.680] lights. We are missing jinx. They are still part of the crew. Just unfortunately, they couldn't make it today. So yeah, no, this is this is absolutely fantastic. I'm super excited. Well, let's
[06:51.680 -> 06:59.440] go ahead and dive into things. So we got the first race weekend. Maybe before we get into
[06:59.440 -> 07:08.320] the Bahrain GP, I want to just quickly go roundtable. Let's just give me your one thought on what your takeaway was from
[07:08.880 -> 07:12.620] F1 testing last weekend and we'll start with you Mech
[07:13.120 -> 07:15.640] What is the one thought you had from last weekend?
[07:15.640 -> 07:22.200] I would say the biggest one was I don't think anyone expected out for Tori to be like any world leaders or anything
[07:22.760 -> 07:26.440] but that car looks absolutely terrible. Like
[07:27.360 -> 07:28.960] No one expected to be good
[07:28.960 -> 07:33.160] I didn't expect it to be like fighting the Williams and I feel like that's kind of where they're at right now
[07:33.440 -> 07:38.820] So I would say that's probably the biggest surprise is not necessarily not how good they are, but how bad they're
[07:39.440 -> 07:41.240] Yeah, it
[07:41.240 -> 07:43.600] It was very very mixed on
[07:43.560 -> 07:47.360] It it was very very mixed on
[07:51.540 -> 08:01.600] Yeah, yeah totally totally all right, well call a footy what do you got
[08:06.800 -> 08:11.720] You know the more better teams they are on the grid, the better racing we see. But I'm expecting to kind of see how the first race goes
[08:11.720 -> 08:15.480] and maybe start to fade them a little bit.
[08:15.480 -> 08:18.000] But I'm excited.
[08:18.000 -> 08:20.640] During testing, there's so much that you don't
[08:20.640 -> 08:22.400] know the potential of teams.
[08:22.400 -> 08:25.960] You just don't know if they're going full 100%.
[08:25.960 -> 08:28.560] So there's still a lot to see.
[08:28.560 -> 08:30.600] So I'm super excited about the first race.
[08:30.600 -> 08:33.720] And I really hope that my boys
[08:33.720 -> 08:35.240] for the Silver Arrows are better.
[08:35.240 -> 08:36.600] That's all.
[08:36.600 -> 08:39.320] Yeah, nope, I'm 100% with you there.
[08:39.320 -> 08:41.700] And Renegade, what's your one takeaway?
[08:43.000 -> 08:46.200] I'd say that Red Bull
[08:46.200 -> 08:47.520] back
[08:47.520 -> 08:49.200] nine out of ten
[08:49.200 -> 08:51.040] and they look like
[08:51.040 -> 08:57.120] Not invincible, but they're like you could see there. There's no problems and they're probably gonna hit the ground running
[08:58.200 -> 09:04.720] Yeah, yeah, I would say just my one takeaway is don't read deep into the testing
[09:06.520 -> 09:06.720] I would say just my one takeaway is don't read deep into the testing. We'll see this weekend
[09:11.720 -> 09:14.360] That's the only thing I can say but I do kind of agree with you call a footy I think there's a lot of hype on Aston Martin
[09:14.520 -> 09:20.200] Although I I want to see it. I kind of do I really do I want to see them like get up there
[09:20.200 -> 09:22.800] Yeah, so, um, but you know
[09:25.400 -> 09:31.280] there. Yeah. So, you know, you know, it's going to be more fun to watch in the middle of the pack is like the four to eight guys. The more games you have, the more competition
[09:31.280 -> 09:38.580] you got. So yeah, no, absolutely. I definitely agree there. And yes, I do hope Merck will
[09:38.580 -> 09:42.720] get up there. Personally, I just think that, you know, what we saw going towards the end
[09:42.720 -> 09:46.320] of last year is what we're going to see coming in this year.
[09:46.320 -> 09:50.480] And I did write an article about this, the good, the bad, the ugly.
[09:50.480 -> 09:55.000] And the one thing I will say, the biggest disappointment, which no one's mentioned
[09:55.000 -> 09:58.560] yet, maybe that will be my one takeaway, is McLaren.
[09:58.560 -> 10:02.880] McLaren just did not look good in so many ways.
[10:02.880 -> 10:05.200] So let's just,
[10:07.540 -> 10:09.300] yeah, we'll just keep it at that. All right, well, let's go ahead and dive into it.
[10:09.300 -> 10:10.400] Bahrain GP.
[10:12.000 -> 10:14.180] We are entering a year where
[10:14.680 -> 10:17.500] we're going to have a different set of compounds.
[10:17.500 -> 10:20.940] I guess we're starting with the C1 compound,
[10:20.940 -> 10:23.740] which is supposed to be a harder compound, I believe,
[10:24.240 -> 10:30.560] than what it was last year. I think last year was C2, so that's good. It's like the C1, C2,
[10:30.560 -> 10:36.500] C3, I believe. And someone correct me if I'm wrong there. The temperatures, we're
[10:36.500 -> 10:40.720] gonna probably see 30 to 40 degrees Celsius. I think we're not gonna see
[10:40.720 -> 10:46.920] anything crazy, though the wind will be a factor. And as usual, sand can affect the grip.
[10:46.920 -> 10:51.600] That's just going to be a common thing over there.
[10:51.600 -> 10:53.080] DRS changed, too.
[10:53.080 -> 10:55.380] That was an interesting thing that was also brought up.
[10:55.380 -> 10:59.160] I did not think that was a, I didn't
[10:59.160 -> 11:00.780] know that was going to happen, actually.
[11:00.780 -> 11:01.800] Or maybe I just forgot.
[11:01.800 -> 11:05.080] But the main straight DRS is being reduced
[11:05.080 -> 11:06.480] by 80 meters.
[11:06.480 -> 11:13.240] There's a seven yards so almost a football field.
[11:13.240 -> 11:15.820] So yeah, let's just go ahead and dive into it.
[11:15.820 -> 11:21.800] Let's go roundtable and let's let's get early assumptions or actually, let's just done what
[11:21.800 -> 11:22.800] what what is your bet?
[11:22.800 -> 11:23.960] What is your favorite bet?
[11:23.960 -> 11:26.580] And I've got to go to Mech on this one
[11:27.280 -> 11:32.340] Because I missed this. What is your free money Friday bet? Please tell me I need one. Oh
[11:33.120 -> 11:34.480] baby
[11:34.480 -> 11:36.480] It's back
[11:39.360 -> 11:43.320] I'm not gonna lie this pic. I was actually on the opposite side of
[11:44.880 -> 11:49.680] But sometimes, you know, I was the smartest guy in the room and I found out today
[11:50.960 -> 11:56.860] So my pick of the day is going to be the rook Nikki D over Yuki
[11:56.860 -> 12:02.160] I believe that's priced at around minus 120 right now. That's gonna be for everyone head-to-head
[12:03.000 -> 12:08.680] I originally wanted to take youuki, but like I said, sometimes you just gotta kind of listen
[12:08.680 -> 12:12.120] to the guy who's actually drove a car before.
[12:12.120 -> 12:15.180] He says Nick, so I say Nick as well.
[12:15.180 -> 12:16.180] That's gonna be my pick.
[12:16.180 -> 12:22.080] Okay, so did you say minus 120 was Nick's odds there?
[12:22.080 -> 12:27.200] Yeah, I haven't checked this since yesterday, but I know it was Yuki plus 105, and I want
[12:27.200 -> 12:30.240] to say he's around like minus 115, minus 120.
[12:30.240 -> 12:31.240] That's crazy.
[12:31.240 -> 12:41.120] That is crazy, because I think when I wrote an article about this, and yes, okay, so,
[12:41.120 -> 12:45.000] and don't read deep into what I'm doing guys the the Friday guy is Mac
[12:45.280 -> 12:50.840] But I did write about why why is Nick at or I think it was Yuki
[12:50.960 -> 12:57.280] Yuki was at plus 100 and I just didn't understand that but you know what you're the pro on the FMF
[12:57.280 -> 13:01.880] So I'm just gonna stick with what you got. I like it
[13:01.880 -> 13:06.200] It sounds like the odds are kind of moving a little bit. So we trust
[13:06.200 -> 13:10.140] maybe a Calum we trust. And that was what that's a Calum pick to with you. Right. You
[13:10.140 -> 13:16.400] said that we're double teaming. Yeah. Yeah. So can't can't go against that. So you heard
[13:16.400 -> 13:25.420] it folks. FMF it's back. Nick over Yuki minus 120 FP1. And you said, which book, Bovada?
[13:26.460 -> 13:27.300] Yeah, Bovada.
[13:27.300 -> 13:29.020] Bovada, cool.
[13:29.020 -> 13:33.640] All right, well, let's go into the second pick, Renegade.
[13:33.640 -> 13:36.160] What's, so what's your, I know you've got a few things
[13:36.160 -> 13:38.640] and I liked some of the stuff you were posting
[13:38.640 -> 13:40.000] about a week ago or so.
[13:40.000 -> 13:44.220] I'll carry on with the theme of free money Friday.
[13:45.520 -> 13:50.400] And my bet is just call of signs each way for the free places.
[13:50.720 -> 13:55.000] And you can get that around 7.0 plus 600.
[13:56.360 -> 14:01.360] And last season he finished in the top three,
[14:02.000 -> 14:08.760] 75% of the time. So if we're making a a profit if he finishes top three and he usually does that
[14:09.160 -> 14:12.780] So I think that's just a straight bet as it is and then
[14:13.320 -> 14:14.600] He'll win
[14:14.600 -> 14:18.760] He won 20% of the time last season. I remember correctly
[14:19.480 -> 14:21.920] So I can't see it being a bad bet
[14:22.640 -> 14:25.240] unless somehow with Bonotto gone,
[14:25.240 -> 14:26.960] they've changed their free practice running,
[14:26.960 -> 14:30.200] but all the main people have stayed at Ferrari.
[14:30.200 -> 14:32.960] So we have to presume it's gonna be similar.
[14:32.960 -> 14:34.160] Okay, okay.
[14:34.160 -> 14:36.200] I like the fact that we're staying on Fridays.
[14:36.200 -> 14:38.360] I feel like for this pod,
[14:38.360 -> 14:40.620] I'm gonna force everyone with a Friday pick
[14:40.620 -> 14:41.920] and then a race day pick.
[14:42.760 -> 14:43.580] But-
[14:43.580 -> 14:44.760] So you can't get rid of it.
[14:44.760 -> 14:45.440] I can't.
[14:46.200 -> 14:47.600] Y'all are the ones.
[14:47.800 -> 14:50.600] The reason why I've I've
[14:51.240 -> 14:54.520] dove into a Friday pick and I just can't stand it.
[14:54.520 -> 14:57.760] And I'm probably going to be up at bright and early five.
[14:58.440 -> 15:01.960] What is it? Five thirty in the morning central time here in the US for me
[15:02.800 -> 15:07.440] just to watch. But yeah, I like that pick. All right.
[15:07.440 -> 15:14.800] I think probably half of pre-practice watchers are probably F1 Money Game members.
[15:15.360 -> 15:19.040] Probably. I think we're the ones that move the lines.
[15:21.680 -> 15:28.480] So, okay, I like it. So Carlos Sainz. All right. All right. You know, I'm not I'm gonna
[15:28.480 -> 15:31.220] be last on this one. So I got to think of what I'm gonna pick but
[15:31.220 -> 15:32.220] got
[15:32.220 -> 15:46.480] I'm not a big practice guy. I know you guys but you know, the one thing that I was looking for earlier in the week was that over 16 and a half
[15:46.920 -> 15:49.000] finishers classified drivers
[15:49.720 -> 15:55.360] And it was an even money on povada. I think it dropped down to minus 160 now, which
[15:56.320 -> 16:02.440] Still it's not, you know, it's not great odds, but it's a bad that has hit five out of the last five races. I
[16:03.480 -> 16:06.500] Really like it. There's a few new drivers, as we all know.
[16:06.500 -> 16:09.300] I think that they're going to be more cautious
[16:09.300 -> 16:12.600] with, you know, you know, with how they perform in their first race.
[16:12.600 -> 16:14.940] So I I like that pick a lot.
[16:15.940 -> 16:17.940] That'll be my favorite pick for the weekend.
[16:18.540 -> 16:19.700] Absolutely.
[16:19.700 -> 16:20.940] 100 percent.
[16:20.940 -> 16:27.160] And that is one of the the lines that I always go to graph to immediately when I'm starting
[16:27.160 -> 16:31.060] when they start dropping on Monday mornings, whatever it is.
[16:31.060 -> 16:36.180] And the fact that you called it out at even money, I was like, wait, what?
[16:36.180 -> 16:37.180] That's not right.
[16:37.180 -> 16:43.440] Usually it's minus 165, you know, sometimes minus 200, depending on the type of track.
[16:43.440 -> 16:47.880] And yeah, you're the reason you're the reason why I got it at even money.
[16:47.880 -> 16:48.960] So I thank you for that.
[16:48.960 -> 16:51.720] I saw it. And then then I think I saw
[16:52.480 -> 16:56.800] one of our discord guys also he posted it and say, hey, guys,
[16:57.160 -> 17:00.520] check this out. And then boom, like two hours later, the line went down.
[17:02.000 -> 17:03.120] Yeah. Yeah.
[17:04.680 -> 17:27.840] Crew on the discord to follow this kind of stuff. and the listeners out there. He's so good that the bookies have to cap how much he can bet,
[17:27.840 -> 17:31.600] and they capped one of his bet to like, I don't know, some ridiculous like $10.
[17:32.160 -> 17:36.480] And he was like, you're kidding me, because they claim that he could be cheating. But
[17:38.080 -> 17:44.880] no, maybe no. But all right, well, I'll go with my pick. You know what, guys,
[17:44.880 -> 17:45.140] I've kind of gone back and forth. I did write an article of one pick where I did make that bet, But, all right, well, I'll go with my pick. You know what, guys?
[17:45.140 -> 17:46.420] I've kind of gone back and forth.
[17:46.420 -> 17:49.860] I did write an article of one pick where I did make that bet, but I'm going to go with
[17:49.860 -> 17:52.060] this one.
[17:52.060 -> 17:59.220] I know the last time I made this bet, there was a DNF, and after that, there wasn't a
[17:59.220 -> 18:00.220] DNF.
[18:00.220 -> 18:09.360] So it is a double Mercedes top six minus 120 on DK.
[18:09.360 -> 18:12.420] I had to pay a little bit more juice for other reasons.
[18:12.420 -> 18:14.320] Not a whole lot more to that.
[18:14.320 -> 18:24.680] But last year, I think they out of 14 out of 22 races, both Russell and in Hamilton
[18:24.680 -> 18:26.880] made it into the top six.
[18:26.880 -> 18:30.080] So that puts them at somewhere around a 63% chance
[18:30.080 -> 18:35.440] that they've made it in the top six in just about every race,
[18:35.440 -> 18:39.360] which means that the odds should be at where I think the odds should be at,
[18:39.360 -> 18:41.280] which is minus 175.
[18:41.280 -> 18:45.840] Sometimes you would see it at minus 190. And you're telling me I can
[18:45.840 -> 18:53.240] get it at minus 120. I think the reason why books have adjusted it to be one minus 120
[18:53.240 -> 18:57.760] is because of all the hype that's going on with Aston Martin with what's happening with
[18:57.760 -> 19:05.240] Alonzo. He there. There's just reports like, oh, they can probably beat Mercedes.
[19:06.240 -> 19:10.560] I'm not buying it. I just the way that the team has has been facing adversity
[19:10.560 -> 19:14.800] throughout the year, they're going to be in the top six, unless, of course,
[19:14.800 -> 19:17.400] there's an incident, but we're not going to factor that in.
[19:17.400 -> 19:19.520] So that is going to be my pick.
[19:19.520 -> 19:22.800] I I like it at minus one twenty. So
[19:24.080 -> 19:28.120] that is one of my favorites. So they just chime in now as well
[19:29.920 -> 19:31.400] Yes
[19:31.400 -> 19:36.320] Nice and testing. Yes, they got a long zone, but if you go back to last year's testing
[19:36.320 -> 19:43.880] They have the exact same results really like position for positions. It's cynically the same in Boston
[19:44.600 -> 19:45.000] Yeah, so yeah, same in Boston. Yeah.
[19:45.000 -> 19:50.000] Yeah, they look good, yeah, but they also looked good last year and they got spanked by Arthur Grant.
[19:50.000 -> 19:58.000] I always say, get my extra points because I do have Alonzo instead of Mattel because he's on his way out.
[19:58.000 -> 19:59.000] Totally.
[19:59.000 -> 20:11.280] But to say that they have a locked in, like, some people have come in and second this year. I think it's just great That's crazy. It's wild like what if you if you ask me right now, what do I think is going to happen? I
[20:12.080 -> 20:14.160] read bull Ferrari Mercedes
[20:14.840 -> 20:19.280] That's it. Well, that's that's just of the fact of the matter. They were in
[20:19.960 -> 20:24.880] Every every piece of data and I follow all the best data guys out there
[20:24.880 -> 20:25.880] Which if you guys
[20:25.880 -> 20:31.440] want to know who they are, you can message me on my Twitter, but all of them all had
[20:31.440 -> 20:35.720] the same type of response result in what they saw.
[20:35.720 -> 20:38.440] Red Bull, clearly ahead.
[20:38.440 -> 20:42.640] Ferrari, very promising, but you don't know, right?
[20:42.640 -> 20:45.200] But they clearly have the second best car. And Mercedes, a work in progress, but you don't know, right? But they're clearly have the second best car
[20:45.200 -> 20:50.600] and Mercedes a work in progress, but they've improved, but still a work in progress. They're
[20:50.600 -> 20:55.040] still the third best team, and that's exactly how it's going to stand. And then you have
[20:55.040 -> 20:58.880] you will still have the midfield, and I think there's still even overreaction on teams like
[20:58.880 -> 21:05.000] Alpine. Yes, they didn't show a whole lot, but there's there's so lots of reasons. So.
[21:07.400 -> 21:10.500] Yeah, so that's my pick.
[21:10.600 -> 21:14.300] All right. Well, let's take one last round.
[21:14.700 -> 21:17.000] Let's go one last round and
[21:18.700 -> 21:21.500] let's see if there's another pick anyone has.
[21:22.000 -> 21:28.920] Another pick anyone has
[21:30.920 -> 21:32.920] Nah, man, I'm chillin I'm looking up some I guess I will say
[21:33.000 -> 21:37.400] You know, this is definitely gonna be a little frame boy with me, but I really do like bolted stops in
[21:37.400 -> 21:39.840] I think he's priced at minus 130 right now. I
[21:40.800 -> 21:42.940] Think that off is quick, especially early in the year
[21:42.920 -> 21:44.160] I think that off is quick, especially early in the year
[21:51.320 -> 21:51.760] And they look really good in tests and I think I mean sit down Joe's coming in on average beats in his race time
[21:55.560 -> 21:56.380] So I think both is clears that easy. I'm expecting him to get at least the top seven
[22:07.000 -> 22:11.000] So I think the top ten to shoe in minus 130. I think an article that both drivers, they have said that the car has a lot better reliability and they had so many issues last year.
[22:11.000 -> 22:14.000] I like that a lot.
[22:14.000 -> 22:27.000] Maybe not bet it in three months, but for now, so yeah.
[22:27.000 -> 22:28.000] Yep.
[22:28.000 -> 22:29.000] All right.
[22:29.000 -> 22:31.880] Renegade, you got another one.
[22:31.880 -> 22:33.120] You got a special one for us.
[22:33.120 -> 22:35.080] I have another one.
[22:35.080 -> 22:43.080] One for one for the race would be after Terry fastest pit stop.
[22:43.080 -> 22:45.100] And that's in Canada about odds of
[22:46.160 -> 22:48.160] 10.0 or plus 900
[22:49.120 -> 22:51.880] Last year they had four out of the top ten
[22:52.720 -> 22:54.720] fastest pit stops
[22:54.760 -> 23:01.960] So they must get training for the Red Bull or something like that and at their mods. It's worth taking the pun
[23:08.000 -> 23:17.000] Call a footy? Yeah, go for it. So all week long we have been talking in the discord about how ping, double points, how ping double this, how ping everything.
[23:17.000 -> 23:26.980] There's also a lot of talk about, there's lots of buzz about them. But I'm gonna just go the safe route and go to banal con top 10 finish is at 185
[23:26.980 -> 23:28.980] Which is minus 112 on?
[23:29.640 -> 23:31.680] Bed in GM currently has the best time
[23:32.520 -> 23:37.720] When you look at the field, yes, we have the top six guys, you know, the Mercedes Red Bulls of the Ferraris
[23:38.280 -> 23:41.480] You might get one of the Austin Martins in there
[23:41.480 -> 23:47.080] Maybe one of the alphas but really the midfield, you know, like I can't see them and
[23:47.080 -> 23:53.500] I'm not sure what the books see they have landed like minus 140 in the points. I just don't see how
[23:54.440 -> 24:00.400] They're gonna even get in the top 10. I think that the chances of all Khan even if he starts 13th
[24:01.080 -> 24:03.080] 14th
[24:03.480 -> 24:21.260] Top 10 is just Yeah, I'm obviously a big fan of big cat Oh Oh con, you know, so I am in on that
[24:21.260 -> 24:23.260] I don't know
[24:24.240 -> 24:26.680] Why I'm not just playing it separately, too
[24:27.200 -> 24:32.660] I do want to believe Gasly is gonna be fine, too, but Oh con. Yes, totally
[24:42.440 -> 24:45.040] Yeah the other I don't know you know what I mean I'm of course yeah but uh but I don't know I just uh
[24:45.920 -> 24:50.640] I know that Ocon knows his car better I know it's a new car but you know he has been there
[24:50.640 -> 24:55.920] knows the the team and the top 10 and those odds I don't know if we're gonna get that again unless
[24:55.920 -> 25:09.000] he starts last yep yep totally totally all right I will go with my last pick. Obviously, for all the listeners, my biggest plays are
[25:09.000 -> 25:14.300] always going to be the race head to heads. So I don't have any of that right now. But
[25:14.300 -> 25:19.320] I'm going to go with, you know, I'm going to go with this one. Top three, Charles LeClaire,
[25:19.320 -> 25:30.200] I think on the race. I just mean, yes, I have been hard on him all year 2022. But I still believe that
[25:30.200 -> 25:36.820] Ferrari has a capable car. They've showed promise in the past. They can do it. We'll
[25:36.820 -> 25:43.120] end. He's also like this track. He won last year. Yes, there was some unfortunate circumstances
[25:43.120 -> 25:45.040] to Red Bull last year with the reliability
[25:45.040 -> 25:51.840] issues. However, I still think that he is totally worthy of getting a podium this year
[25:51.840 -> 25:55.860] at Bahrain, especially in the way he was fighting him. If you all don't remember, he was doing
[25:55.860 -> 26:00.600] that back and forth with Max for what, five laps or something like that before Max had
[26:00.600 -> 26:05.120] to DNF. So I don't think it should be. I don't think it should be minus 125 here.
[26:05.120 -> 26:10.320] I think it or minus 120. I think it needs to be around minus 175. So I think there's
[26:10.320 -> 26:16.640] a little value there as well as him and Max had the same odds for fastest qualifier. You
[26:16.640 -> 26:22.200] know, qualifying winning card is supposed to be at minus 110. So, you know, they're
[26:22.200 -> 26:27.320] expecting them to be up there and I expect them to be up there. So, you know, they're expecting them to be up there and I expect them to be up there.
[26:27.320 -> 26:33.620] So you know, I know that lights has Perez in the top three.
[26:33.620 -> 26:34.860] So maybe present.
[26:34.860 -> 26:41.760] Yeah, maybe Perez and Charles get up there or one of us is going to be sad and Hamilton's
[26:41.760 -> 26:42.760] up in the third.
[26:42.760 -> 26:43.760] I don't know.
[26:43.760 -> 26:44.760] I don't know.
[26:44.760 -> 26:47.960] I won't. I mean, I just you
[26:47.960 -> 26:55.120] know, but so I think that's a good bet. I think it's it's it's the safer play. And again,
[26:55.120 -> 27:02.880] I'm trying to tread lightly. It's my approach to any kind of wagering I do. So tread lightly
[27:02.880 -> 27:07.440] in the first race. We don't know anything, really. You can sit
[27:07.440 -> 27:13.520] here and make assumptions about any everything in testing. But even engineers will tell you
[27:13.520 -> 27:18.240] they don't know, right? Like they only know what they know until they get out on the on
[27:18.240 -> 27:28.000] the track and actually are performing the programs they need to perform for that race. Alright, well let's go into some closing
[27:28.000 -> 27:32.000] last thoughts here. Yeah, let's just
[27:32.000 -> 27:36.000] go quickly roundtable if you have any thoughts.
[27:36.000 -> 27:40.000] Let's start with Mech.
[27:40.000 -> 27:44.000] Our IndyCar ambassador. Our dude. We got some great picks across the board, I'll say that.
[27:44.000 -> 27:45.000] I guess just to circle back to IndyCar ambassador, our dude. We got some great picks across the board. I'll say that.
[27:45.000 -> 27:46.040] Yeah, sorry.
[27:46.040 -> 27:48.560] And I guess just to go back to Friday.
[27:50.200 -> 27:52.400] Listen, Ferrari has always been king of Friday.
[27:53.120 -> 27:54.920] And so they stop.
[27:54.920 -> 27:56.120] I'm going to keep that.
[27:56.120 -> 27:58.600] So Ferrari win F1.
[27:59.440 -> 28:00.160] Put me down.
[28:00.160 -> 28:01.240] Leafs.
[28:03.000 -> 28:04.240] Awesome.
[28:04.240 -> 28:14.160] Renegade. I say I'd say if there was like McLaren, no points for both of them, I think that'd be a great
[28:14.160 -> 28:15.160] bet.
[28:15.160 -> 28:18.160] Fade McLaren, probably fade after Martin, it seems.
[28:18.160 -> 28:25.520] Yeah, that's a good one.
[28:25.520 -> 28:26.520] And then, Alifoddi, what you got?
[28:26.520 -> 28:27.520] I just want to see a good race, especially being the first race of the year.
[28:27.520 -> 28:28.520] I have big expectations from the Mercedes team to be better than they were, like I mentioned
[28:28.520 -> 28:29.520] earlier.
[28:29.520 -> 28:30.520] I just want to have the three team or the three driver competition.
[28:30.520 -> 28:31.520] That would be the best.
[28:31.520 -> 28:32.520] Have one Ferrari, one Mercedes, one Wrangler, one Audi.
[28:32.520 -> 28:33.520] I just want to see a good race.
[28:33.520 -> 28:34.520] I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
[28:34.520 -> 28:35.520] I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
[28:35.520 -> 28:36.520] I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
[28:36.520 -> 28:37.520] I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
[28:37.520 -> 28:38.520] I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
[28:38.520 -> 28:39.520] I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
[28:39.520 -> 28:40.520] I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
[28:40.520 -> 28:41.520] I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
[28:41.520 -> 28:42.520] I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
[28:42.520 -> 28:43.520] I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
[28:43.520 -> 28:44.520] I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
[28:44.520 -> 28:46.600] I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. I'm not sure if I'm going to be the three team or three driver competition, you know
[28:46.600 -> 28:53.120] That'll be the bet, you know, like have one Ferrari one Mercedes one Red Bull guy just going back at it all year long
[28:53.120 -> 28:56.480] You know, that's what the racing fans want. So
[28:57.040 -> 28:59.040] But I'm excited about it
[28:59.360 -> 29:01.360] the one thing I want to mention is
[29:01.920 -> 29:05.540] You know, I expect some more cool interviews from Chris
[29:06.280 -> 29:13.080] Down at Indy. Hopefully we get some more cool content out of him. So I'm super excited about that, too
[29:13.080 -> 29:15.080] so and make absolutely
[29:15.960 -> 29:19.320] Discord because I know that we're gonna have the community better and all for negate
[29:20.040 -> 29:27.000] Touched on that, but I know that he's gonna get that started this this weekend last year. We went 14 and 3 Yep, 14 and 3.
[29:27.000 -> 29:34.840] Yep, that's correct.
[29:34.840 -> 29:36.160] Yep, absolutely.
[29:36.160 -> 29:39.400] And I'll just leave us with some of the last thoughts.
[29:39.400 -> 29:42.000] You mentioned it, we have the community bet that's coming out.
[29:42.000 -> 29:48.960] It's going to be our first one. Uh, I believe we'll, we'll start the voting on what your bet is, uh, on
[29:48.960 -> 29:53.000] a Saturday and close it with like an hour, two hours before.
[29:53.400 -> 29:56.600] So it gives everyone an opportunity to get in on the bed.
[29:56.600 -> 30:00.680] I bet you, most of us will probably already be in on that, but again,
[30:00.680 -> 30:04.520] community bet 14 and three, it has been wild with that thing.
[30:04.520 -> 30:07.640] Very consistent. And the sharps are all over that
[30:08.640 -> 30:14.960] Our grid rivals partnership again. We just kicked that off. We're super excited. It is such a fantastic app
[30:15.000 -> 30:21.560] It is one of the best I think from a fantasy perspective for fantasy won't for f1. I'm sorry

[30:40.960 -> 30:44.760] We will have some content going out with the underdog picks

[30:49.840 -> 30:52.780] Lights and I will try to blast some, uh, some pigs that we like before qualifying, um, especially after for the race.
[30:53.280 -> 30:57.120] So we will probably do some live stream as well on Saturday morning.
[30:57.200 -> 31:00.200] Uh, look for a qualifying live stream.
[31:00.560 -> 31:08.060] Unfortunately, uh, for copyright issues, I cannot do the actual race, but I will have the live tracker so you can see all the times the
