[00:00.000 -> 00:08.000] Wow. Okay. That was a race weekend. Racing technically happens this past weekend.
[00:08.000 -> 00:17.000] So I guess we have to start the show with collective misery about the Mercedes this weekend.
[00:17.000 -> 00:29.000] And so we're going to do just that. And I warn you that it's probably just going to be us sad. And we'll give you some fun data about why we're sad and why...
[00:29.000 -> 00:33.000] Yeah, yeah, okay, so moving on.
[00:33.000 -> 00:37.000] More fun way. Race weekend means podiums.
[00:37.000 -> 00:39.000] And we have two really great ones for you this week.
[00:39.000 -> 00:43.000] Nicole is going to do her best quotes of the race weekend.
[00:43.000 -> 00:50.720] And I'm going to rate Lewis Hamilton's fashion this week. They all could be P1, but I will give you a P3, P2, and P1 as an excuse to
[00:50.720 -> 00:57.320] talk about everything off track, because everything off track was a lot of fun this week. Of
[00:57.320 -> 01:01.440] course, we wrap up talk on the race with a recap of your thoughts via our race weekend
[01:01.440 -> 01:06.000] polls. Then, there are two really fun sponsorship
[01:06.000 -> 01:10.000] stories in the world of motorsport this week and they come in the realm of two
[01:10.000 -> 01:16.680] of our favorite things, beauty brands and Star Wars. Lastly we have a new edition
[01:16.680 -> 01:21.640] of Grilled and Gridlock Host. I'm gonna be seeing how well Nicole can guess F1
[01:21.640 -> 01:25.360] concepts based on the drawings that F1 drivers did.
[01:25.360 -> 01:29.920] Lastly, as always, we end the show with Yellow Sector Notes, one story you should know from
[01:29.920 -> 01:31.760] every team on the grid.
[01:31.760 -> 01:37.400] Before we wrap up the Formation Lab, next week's Gridwalk episode will be our Vegas
[01:37.400 -> 01:38.400] GP preview.
[01:38.400 -> 01:41.640] It's an episode we're particularly excited about.
[01:41.640 -> 01:44.920] If there's anything you really want us to discuss next week, we're going to be discussing
[01:44.920 -> 01:48.160] everything from the business and sponsorship of it, the viewership,
[01:48.160 -> 01:53.800] the ticket sales, also on track preview because it's the first time they're going to be racing
[01:53.800 -> 01:58.960] this track, spoiler alert, it's going to be awful for Mercedes. But if there's anything
[01:58.960 -> 02:03.100] in particular that you're like, I need Gridwalk to talk about this, please let us know either
[02:03.100 -> 02:08.720] in the comments of our YouTube video or DM us on social at gridwalkshow on any platform.

[02:17.760 -> 02:20.160] or Hulu depending on where you are in the world.
[02:20.160 -> 02:24.560] We do plan on covering it in a bonus mini episode about a week after it's released to
[02:24.560 -> 02:26.000] give everyone time to watch it.
[02:26.000 -> 02:31.000] So reach out similarly if you have any coverage wishes for that mini series.
[02:31.000 -> 02:33.000] Is it a documentary or a mini series?
[02:33.000 -> 02:35.000] Mini series, four episodes.
[02:35.000 -> 02:39.000] Yeah, yeah, okay. I remembered that correctly, yay!

[02:50.800 -> 02:56.400] But that wraps up the Formation Lab for episode 42 of Gridwalk, a weekly Formula 1 podcast that
[02:56.400 -> 03:00.960] believes there are fascinating stories to discuss across the entire F1 grid. As always, there are
[03:00.960 -> 03:05.840] time codes in the description of this episode for ease of navigating around the topics we discuss.
[03:05.840 -> 03:09.800] You know, for the ease of me navigating around the words I write for myself to say.

[03:20.400 -> 03:29.280] Cooling down on our lineup on the grid, it's lights out and away we go on this week's Gridwalk. Cold ground on our lineup on the grid. It's lights out and away we go on this week's gridwalk.
[03:29.280 -> 03:35.120] The only race that the W14 can win is RuPaul's Drag Race.
[03:35.120 -> 03:37.600] Say it again louder for those in the back.
[03:37.600 -> 03:43.200] I have been trying for days to figure out how to work some kind of like drag, drag race
[03:43.200 -> 03:45.560] W14 Mercedes Mercedes stroke.
[03:45.560 -> 03:48.560] And Brianna literally said it in words
[03:48.560 -> 03:49.880] right before I pressed record.
[03:49.880 -> 03:52.000] So I stole that immediately right away.
[03:52.000 -> 03:52.840] Although-
[03:52.840 -> 03:53.660] As you should.
[03:53.660 -> 03:54.500] It came from you.
[03:54.500 -> 03:55.340] Yeah.
[03:55.340 -> 03:57.520] Winning RuPaul's Drag Race is such a compliment
[03:57.520 -> 03:59.700] that I don't think the W14 can do that.
[03:59.700 -> 04:01.760] So it's different drags.
[04:03.400 -> 04:08.240] No, but I would love to see it try. You know, I just, I would love to see the
[04:08.240 -> 04:15.520] W14 succeed at something. And if it's going to be draggy, at least go like hang out with the drag
[04:15.520 -> 04:20.400] queens, like, and it can be incredible in some area of the world, because it's not good at being
[04:20.400 -> 04:26.720] a race car, but maybe it can be a drag queen. Maybe but anyway Brazil this was just
[04:26.720 -> 04:32.400] a nightmare to watch. We have to talk about on track now and then we could talk about all the
[04:32.400 -> 04:42.320] fun off track. Right so we knew that Mercedes was a draggy car but this weekend was unbelievable.
[04:48.160 -> 04:56.880] weekend was unbelievable. Some data to explain just how draggy this car is. Mercedes lost all its time in sector 3. So Lando was the fastest driver in sector 3. His fastest sector
[04:56.880 -> 05:00.680] sector. His fast I really you know what to everyone listening like there's gonna be a
[05:00.680 -> 05:04.800] point in this episode where I decide not to cut out every time I mess up something which
[05:04.800 -> 05:05.580] I normally do. I'm gonna give up because it's Iron in this episode where I decide not to cut out every time I mess up something, which I normally do.
[05:05.580 -> 05:09.860] I'm going to give up because it's Iron Flame release week, and I just want to listen to
[05:09.860 -> 05:12.140] my book and have a quick edit this week.
[05:12.140 -> 05:16.180] So if you're listening, sorry for making you listen to me stumble over my words for most
[05:16.180 -> 05:17.180] of this episode.
[05:17.180 -> 05:19.300] Happy Iron Flame release week to those celebrating.
[05:19.300 -> 05:21.380] All right, back to the data.
[05:21.380 -> 05:25.760] Thank you for letting me rant there, Nicole.
[05:25.760 -> 05:30.760] Lando Norris, sector three, 16.289.
[05:31.240 -> 05:35.160] Max Verstappen, the second fastest at a 16.345.
[05:35.160 -> 05:37.820] Lewis Hamilton, who was the faster of the two Mercedes
[05:37.820 -> 05:42.080] in the sector, was 16.570.
[05:42.080 -> 05:43.120] It's a million years.
[05:43.120 -> 05:45.720] That's a million years. That's a million years.
[05:45.720 -> 05:47.560] In F1 times, it is.
[05:47.560 -> 05:49.760] Especially considering in Sector 2,
[05:49.760 -> 05:54.080] their times were on par with Lando and faster than Max.
[05:54.080 -> 05:59.600] And in Sector 1, they lost less than a tenth to the Red Bulls
[05:59.600 -> 06:01.240] and were faster than Lando.
[06:03.880 -> 06:05.960] And this is by the way, I'm pulling all these numbers from the
[06:05.960 -> 06:14.000] sprint shootout just because those were the numbers I had pulled. But like, they're relevant,
[06:14.000 -> 06:19.120] they're good enough to talk about. This is what you get for having a sprint weekend,
[06:19.120 -> 06:29.240] and there being two qualifying sessions, and it all be confusing. And we all and everyone watched Sunday. And you know, we're not necessarily celebrating
[06:29.240 -> 06:36.940] a Mercedes on a podium here and necessarily feel it all. Woo this weekend. It was unbelievably
[06:36.940 -> 06:41.280] frustrating to watch and just as the race went on, like the dropping of the pace and
[06:41.280 -> 06:46.680] like, oh, it was it was so unbelievably aggravating because
[06:46.680 -> 06:50.220] you kind of like felt like we were like getting somewhere and going somewhere and upgrades
[06:50.220 -> 06:54.160] are working and we're being able to the difference in the race pace was so beautiful. And then
[06:54.160 -> 06:58.680] like as the weekend was going on and sector three was just like infecting my nightmares
[06:58.680 -> 07:06.720] and then just Sunday came and went and it was as painful to watch as I had anticipated it being. They lost to the Alpine.
[07:07.600 -> 07:13.760] Yeah, it's real. The Alpine where the other car, that garage thought it was a good idea to do a three-stop.
[07:16.960 -> 07:17.460] And they...
[07:20.000 -> 07:27.760] So the other data is you can um get... so I think people are accustomed to seeing speed trap
[07:28.800 -> 07:33.680] speeds but you can also get speeds at different points in the track that's reported. One of them
[07:33.680 -> 07:40.160] is the finish line speed and I think as we all groaned and watched the Mercedes have to get
[07:40.160 -> 07:49.840] passed over and over again on that main straight and get slow and slow. Were you curious what their speed times looked like at the finish line, Nicole? And I know you know the answer to this.
[07:49.840 -> 07:55.040] Like four. They went four. Four is the answer. At that point I felt like I could outrun them
[07:55.040 -> 07:59.920] at the finish line. So Lando Norris in qualifying was the fastest driver at the finish line
[08:00.880 -> 08:07.680] and his speed was 333. The fastest Mercedes at the finish line was George
[08:07.680 -> 08:13.820] Russell and he was the 19th fastest driver at the on the grid at the finish
[08:13.820 -> 08:25.520] line. Lewis Hamilton was the 20th and they both went 320. 13 kilometers per hour slower than the fastest car at the finish line.
[08:28.480 -> 08:35.440] I don't even know what to do with that. I tend to love the number 13
[08:36.720 -> 08:46.880] for like the obvious reasons. Um, not this time. Do not enjoy. How dare you is rude rude rude no past face
[08:47.800 -> 08:49.800] I
[08:50.240 -> 08:56.280] Was using Lando because he was the fastest but I was also using Lando because they're the same power units
[08:56.680 -> 09:01.600] This is a product of the car being draggy not the power unit being bad
[09:02.080 -> 09:07.120] And I like yes, I hear all the excuses and like it's a Frankenstein car and
[09:07.120 -> 09:13.200] like I get all the talking points Mercedes I get it but I am tired and I'm done and if I read Toto's
[09:13.200 -> 09:18.400] quotes correctly this week I think he is tired and done and I just am I'm scared for Vegas it's
[09:18.400 -> 09:25.520] gonna be bad it's gonna be it's gonna be so bad it It's, oh my God.
[09:28.940 -> 09:30.680] I'm allergic, I'm allergic to Vegas and Mercedes. I'm allergic to all of it happening.
[09:30.680 -> 09:32.000] I literally can't even talk about it
[09:32.000 -> 09:34.400] because it's gonna be so bad
[09:34.400 -> 09:38.080] that my body is sneezing at the idea.
[09:39.360 -> 09:42.360] Since I definitely will cut out the sneeze.
[09:42.360 -> 09:44.760] To everyone, I just cut out the sneeze
[09:44.760 -> 09:45.280] because I didn't think you all needed to hear. just cut out the sneeze because I don't
[09:45.280 -> 09:49.080] I didn't think you all need was a horrible sneeze I'm so sorry yeah I
[09:49.080 -> 09:52.800] didn't think you all needed to hear in your ears Nicole sneeze like I'm not
[09:52.800 -> 09:56.920] gonna cut out my stumbling this week but I will cut out Nicole's sneeze to save
[09:56.920 -> 10:06.240] your ears unlike the Mercedes did not save my eyeballs this week, but I will save your ears.
[10:06.240 -> 10:11.800] My podium this weekend is my top Louis fashion moments of the weekend.
[10:11.800 -> 10:16.560] One of my favorite podiums that we do all the time.
[10:16.560 -> 10:17.560] I know.
[10:17.560 -> 10:29.080] And this weekend was particularly hard because I loved every single one of his outfits. But I had to go with P3 Friday the
[10:29.080 -> 10:37.580] soccer tracksuit. I loved the tracksuit. I loved what it meant even more because
[10:37.580 -> 10:42.760] it was either actually vintage from the 90s or a replica 90s tracksuit that a
[10:42.760 -> 10:49.940] lot of people were connecting to the moment where the Brazilian national teamed the tribute to Senna. Lewis has always
[10:49.940 -> 10:55.960] talked about how Senna is his idol. And I just liked that he went all-in on Brazil
[10:55.960 -> 11:00.120] this weekend considering he is an honorary Brazilian citizen now and
[11:00.120 -> 11:08.600] Brazil loves Lewis as he deserves. It was his second home race weekend. And he basically like did the same thing for the British GP this year.
[11:09.520 -> 11:12.960] All custom British fits and then all custom Brazil.
[11:12.960 -> 11:13.360] He did!
[11:13.400 -> 11:18.120] Like, they're unbelievably similar now that I'm thinking of them in my brain.
[11:18.760 -> 11:19.120] Yup.
[11:19.160 -> 11:20.920] The styling was very close.
[11:21.360 -> 11:24.800] Um, but like I said, everything he wore this weekend could be a P1,
[11:24.840 -> 11:25.240] but something had to be a P1, but something
[11:25.240 -> 11:33.960] had to be P3. And also something has to be P2. And my P2 was Saturday, Quali, like the
[11:33.960 -> 11:35.760] botanical flower fit.
[11:35.760 -> 11:42.960] Okay, good. We're aligning. I was getting really like, what is she gonna do here?
[11:42.960 -> 11:46.560] Oh, I meant to ask you, would that have been your P3?
[11:46.560 -> 11:48.160] This probably would have been my P3,
[11:48.160 -> 11:51.120] but I just, there's something about a matching track suit
[11:51.120 -> 11:53.480] that like really just scratches my brain
[11:53.480 -> 11:55.320] in like the greatest way.
[11:55.320 -> 11:59.320] So, but I mean, again, everything could always be a P1.
[11:59.320 -> 12:03.440] And then similarly, there's something about wearing art
[12:03.440 -> 12:06.080] that really scratches my personal brain
[12:06.080 -> 12:08.720] in like such a way.
[12:08.720 -> 12:13.960] I couldn't do the research, like I couldn't figure out the finality of the research, but
[12:13.960 -> 12:18.920] I do think there is some crossover of the botanical flowers he was wearing and flowers
[12:18.920 -> 12:22.000] that are often associated with Brazil.
[12:22.000 -> 12:25.680] It's not their national flower flower but a lot of people consider
[12:25.680 -> 12:30.380] strands of orchids national Brazilian flowers and it does look like an orchid.
[12:30.380 -> 12:35.920] All I'm saying is there was clearly intent with that selection whether
[12:35.920 -> 12:40.900] or not it was right on the nose like the Brazilian football team track suit was
[12:40.900 -> 12:46.560] right on the nose. And then of course P1 was Thursday the custom fit.
[12:48.480 -> 12:56.960] The Brazilian flag, spray paint, Senna on the back. I, the scream I scrubbed. Like it bowed down
[12:56.960 -> 13:01.600] as Nicole is doing on the video right now. It could not have been a more perfect fit and it
[13:01.600 -> 13:10.640] was one of the weird weekends where I felt like he started higher and became more casual as the weekend went on when normally Lewis does the opposite where his
[13:10.640 -> 13:17.440] Sunday fit is like insane but he started on Thursday with one of the most insane pieces I've
[13:17.440 -> 13:22.480] seen him wear all season. I can't believe he didn't wear that on race day and I get media
[13:22.480 -> 13:26.320] day is the day like literally in the name media day,
[13:26.320 -> 13:29.520] but then the Sunday fit and nothing against the Sunday fit.
[13:29.520 -> 13:30.800] We love the Sunday fit.
[13:30.800 -> 13:32.720] We love any time that Lewis Hamilton
[13:32.720 -> 13:34.840] wears a red sweater vest.
[13:34.840 -> 13:36.360] We've seen him wear a couple of them,
[13:36.360 -> 13:38.080] which is great again and totally fine.
[13:38.080 -> 13:41.720] But that Senna custom piece was again,
[13:41.720 -> 13:43.840] literal artwork, really beautiful,
[13:43.840 -> 13:46.560] and just a great way to kick off the weekend
[13:46.560 -> 13:48.360] but also would have been a great race day fit.
[13:48.360 -> 13:53.560] I wonder if Lewis understood that the race weekend was going to go that way on track,
[13:53.560 -> 13:56.640] and he was just like, let's start out with a bang this weekend.
[13:56.640 -> 14:02.120] Because if we had to see sad Lewis show up on the race day in that fit on Sunday, it
[14:02.120 -> 14:03.960] really wouldn't have worked.
[14:03.960 -> 14:07.520] 100% that's it yeah he's like this
[14:07.520 -> 14:13.120] I'm gonna wear all red just drag me oh just kidding the w14 will do it for you
[14:15.920 -> 14:21.600] oh man the blood from the daggers that the mercedes cars keep stabbing him
[14:27.520 -> 14:29.200] cars keep stabbing him. He really should have worn all black in morning his season.
[14:37.600 -> 14:46.400] 100%. But I really really loved it was a custom outfit but it was based on something this designer had done but he completely made a unique one with this artwork for Louis. Yeah. Anytime Louis gets something custom made,
[14:46.400 -> 14:51.280] I'm going to obsess over it. And when we eventually do our fashion season review,
[14:51.280 -> 14:54.240] I will be stunned if this doesn't end up being one.
[14:54.240 -> 14:58.640] Yeah. Yeah, there's I mean, and at least once a weekend, we'll get a good custom piece from Louis.
[14:58.640 -> 15:02.480] So probably all of our moments will just be custom this custom this custom.
[15:03.680 -> 15:07.520] That was particularly hard today. I don't know why words are difficult
[15:09.660 -> 15:13.960] One of my favorite podiums to do after a race weekend is
[15:14.560 -> 15:17.560] my favorite radios of the weekend and I wouldn't necessarily
[15:18.200 -> 15:24.040] say that these radios that I'm about to present are my favorite of the weekend, but they just
[15:26.240 -> 15:34.280] radios that I'm about to present are my favorite of the weekend, but they just matched my vibe. They matched my emotions. They matched just the overall feelings that I left Sunday with.
[15:34.280 -> 15:37.560] They're the best quotes of the weekend, but that doesn't mean you like them.
[15:37.560 -> 15:42.120] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're definitely the, yeah. Best quotes of the weekend doesn't
[15:42.120 -> 15:45.840] always necessarily mean the most positive quotes.
[15:45.840 -> 15:49.440] So coming really hot right out the gates.
[15:49.440 -> 15:52.640] P3 George Russell.
[15:52.640 -> 15:53.640] Help me.
[15:53.640 -> 15:56.120] Plain and simple.
[15:56.120 -> 15:59.960] Let me me watching Mercedes me watching this race.
[15:59.960 -> 16:04.240] I mean he George had a lot of radios this weekend which you don't have time to get into
[16:04.240 -> 16:05.400] all of that right now
[16:05.400 -> 16:09.840] because this podcast, we try to keep at an hour sometimes,
[16:09.840 -> 16:11.620] but help me, period.
[16:11.620 -> 16:14.840] This really sums up everything that we've talked about
[16:14.840 -> 16:16.440] with Mercedes and where I'm at.
[16:16.440 -> 16:18.980] So thank you, George, for just summing that up perfectly.
[16:18.980 -> 16:22.040] The multi-viewer AI transcription of it
[16:22.040 -> 16:26.740] also was incredible because it was just help me, me period and like seeing that come up on the scroll
[16:27.580 -> 16:32.800] Right, right, and that's where it's you know, like help me with strategy, but just reading it. Nope. Help me. Thank you
[16:34.880 -> 16:36.880] P2
[16:38.880 -> 16:40.880] Alonzo's team engineer
[16:41.480 -> 16:43.480] Mercedes is dying
[16:44.180 -> 16:46.360] So the real full description of
[16:46.360 -> 16:49.640] this Alonzo is trying to figure out Mercedes what's happening?
[16:49.960 -> 16:53.840] And the full quote, Mercedes are dying. They're dying. They're
[16:53.840 -> 16:59.680] behind signs and are dying. Again, me too. That's how I
[16:59.680 -> 17:06.960] felt. Help me. And I think that they're dying. Thank you.
[17:11.040 -> 17:12.000] And we can just- that's it. That's self-explanatory here.
[17:25.000 -> 17:25.940] And the last one, shockingly, why am I so unlucky?
[17:28.440 -> 17:33.080] Why am I so unlucky? I just, I felt bad using that sound,
[17:33.080 -> 17:35.300] like using our P1 sound, hold on.
[17:35.300 -> 17:36.480] Yeah.
[17:36.480 -> 17:37.320] Yeah, that's it.
[17:37.320 -> 17:39.520] Poor child.
[17:39.520 -> 17:43.840] Like, yo, you don't know why you're so unlucky either.
[17:43.840 -> 17:47.860] That written out list, if anyone's seen it, going around on the internet, that breaks
[17:47.860 -> 17:50.060] down every single race for Charles.
[17:50.060 -> 17:53.460] He is so unbelievably unlucky.
[17:53.460 -> 17:58.940] The race didn't even start, everything was in a relatively good place, going into this
[17:58.940 -> 18:02.300] weekend for him, and then just the, why am I so unlucky?
[18:02.300 -> 18:06.640] I saw somebody else tweet, he's's asking this that means he's been thinking
[18:06.640 -> 18:10.000] about this like of course he's been thinking about this.
[18:10.000 -> 18:12.580] It was the most Charles radio.
[18:12.580 -> 18:20.840] I have ever heard Charles Charles, and just felt really perfect and fitting to sum up
[18:20.840 -> 18:24.080] the season for him.
[18:24.080 -> 18:25.000] He didn't get to start the race.
[18:25.760 -> 18:29.180] Bahrain DNF, Saudi penalty, Australia DNF,
[18:29.180 -> 18:32.060] Baku no issues, P2 in the sprint and P3 in the race.
[18:32.060 -> 18:34.300] So good things happen when he doesn't have issues.
[18:34.300 -> 18:36.780] Miami his fault, the car was terrible though.
[18:36.780 -> 18:39.980] Monaco penalty, Spain problems in quali, pit lane start,
[18:39.980 -> 18:42.080] Canada strategy issues in quali,
[18:42.080 -> 18:43.780] Austria penalty in sprint shootout,
[18:43.780 -> 18:49.760] P2 in the race had no issues. Silverstone electrical issue and FP2 strategy issues in Kuala, Austria, penalty in sprint shootout, P2 in the race had no issues, Silverstone electrical issue and FP2 strategy issues in the race, Hungary,
[18:49.760 -> 18:56.240] 9 second pit stop, no water, Spa, no issues, P3 in the race, Netherlands, DNF, Monza, no
[18:56.240 -> 19:00.720] issues, question mark, P4 in the race, the person who did this wasn't quite sure, and
[19:00.720 -> 19:08.840] I think they were right that Monza technically didn't have any issues. Uh, Singapore cooling issues during the race. Some strategy issues, Japan, no issues before
[19:08.840 -> 19:14.040] in the race, Qatar penalty in the sprint maximized in the race, Austin disqualified Mexico, no
[19:14.040 -> 19:19.480] issues. P3 in the race, Brazil lifting coast during the whole sprint did not start because
[19:19.480 -> 19:21.960] his engine failed and the hydraulics failed.
[19:21.960 -> 19:29.800] I sent him into a wall that is suit. When you see a formation lap and you see a Ferrari radio pop up as soon as it starts,
[19:29.800 -> 19:35.120] you know things are going bad. But yeah, so it seems like Charles 2023 season could be
[19:35.120 -> 19:40.920] summed up as either like P3, no issues, or wow, everything's a nightmare.
[19:40.920 -> 19:45.840] Brazil GP Pulse. So a reminder, if you don't follow us on Instagram you should
[19:45.840 -> 19:50.280] follow us at gridwalk show. After the race depending on the time of day so
[19:50.280 -> 19:56.660] either immediately afterwards or the next morning. And depending on how well
[19:56.660 -> 20:03.000] Mercedes performs and how when the Eagles play and how the Eagles play.
[20:03.000 -> 20:06.480] Within 12 hours of the end of the race, polls will pop
[20:06.480 -> 20:11.920] up on our Instagram story because we want to hear what you all think about the moments of the race.
[20:13.360 -> 20:19.280] So poll number one this week was, was Max just toying with Lando at the start of the race?
[20:20.400 -> 20:30.440] Options were yes and no. I wanted an actual answer to this one. Before I give the results, Nicole, what do you think? 100%! I saw Max had the opportunity to be like,
[20:30.440 -> 20:34.200] oh this is gonna be fun! I'm gonna race Lando and then I'm gonna fly away! And
[20:34.200 -> 20:38.440] that's exactly what happened. Like it was like a one time, like two time of like,
[20:38.440 -> 20:42.080] oh he's like, let's give the, you know, commentators something to talk about for
[20:42.080 -> 20:46.000] two seconds and then suddenly there's like a almost four second gap.
[20:46.000 -> 20:48.800] Like no, no no no no no no no.
[20:48.800 -> 20:52.640] This leads into a future question, so I'll pause on my comments on the sprint race in
[20:52.640 -> 20:53.640] a second.
[20:53.640 -> 20:57.200] But yeah, I think in one lap, he was 2.2 seconds ahead.
[20:57.200 -> 21:01.800] Like the gap was insane in about a lap, a lap and a half, so yeah.
[21:01.800 -> 21:05.040] And guess what, everyone who voted said said the same not a single person said no
[21:05.040 -> 21:13.440] everyone knew that max was just toying with lando so question number two how many dnfs are too many
[21:13.440 -> 21:20.880] dnfs in the race the options i gave were three four five or more or no such thing there are
[21:20.880 -> 21:26.240] never too many dnfs in a race nicole what did you vote? I think I said five or more.
[21:26.240 -> 21:29.560] There was just something in my brain about thinking 25%
[21:29.560 -> 21:32.680] of the grid is not finishing the race that I'm like,
[21:32.680 -> 21:34.980] that's a, that's a problem.
[21:35.880 -> 21:39.000] I feel similar that like that many people
[21:39.000 -> 21:40.220] not finishing the race.
[21:40.220 -> 21:42.120] I also, I think I get,
[21:42.120 -> 21:46.640] it depends on why they didn't finish the race, and I don't love like
[21:46.640 -> 21:54.160] crashing out being the reason. Like there's things out of control, like if you know engines failed
[21:54.160 -> 22:01.040] and randomness for sure, but I agree like once you hit 25% of the grid, honestly even four at 20% of
[22:01.040 -> 22:07.600] the grid is out of the race, I get a little frustrated. I mean, even thinking about the 4 thing, it then also comes down to, I think in my brain,
[22:07.600 -> 22:12.000] if I'm seeing like, oh wow, both Ferraris, you know, power units failed and
[22:13.920 -> 22:20.720] Haas took out a Haas, that seems a little bit more understandable of a 4 drivers than like,
[22:20.720 -> 22:25.740] you know, Charles, hydraulics go, and then K-Mag and out like everything
[22:25.740 -> 22:29.900] that just happened like slowly, but surely you just see like one more fall.
[22:29.900 -> 22:36.500] And like, Danny Ricardo made it out of that garage somehow after a tire went flying.
[22:36.500 -> 22:38.300] So we're all just,
[22:38.900 -> 22:39.160] Yep.
[22:39.160 -> 22:42.700] And him and Piastri just like circled around the back the whole race.
[22:42.700 -> 22:43.700] Cause they were all down.
[22:43.700 -> 22:46.800] Australian GP round two Australian GP
[22:50.760 -> 22:52.760] Testing laps, whoo
[22:54.120 -> 22:56.120] So this poll was a tie
[22:56.280 -> 23:02.280] 44% said five or more is when they feel like it's too many and 44% said no such thing
[23:02.660 -> 23:03.600] and 44% said no such thing.
[23:06.760 -> 23:10.760] That they, and I disagree with the people voting that because if I said that 15 of the 20 drivers
[23:10.760 -> 23:11.880] ended up not finishing the race,
[23:11.880 -> 23:14.400] you probably would think that's too much, but.
[23:14.400 -> 23:15.240] Maybe not.
[23:15.240 -> 23:16.080] Yeah.
[23:17.280 -> 23:20.800] Should F1 be allowed to race during the NFL window?
[23:20.800 -> 23:23.240] The options were no too many sports at once
[23:23.240 -> 23:25.040] or that is a you problem, Brianna.
[23:27.120 -> 23:32.880] Giving myself away as the person who writes the polls. And the winner was 78% said that was a
[23:32.880 -> 23:39.120] me problem. And I knew it was a me problem and that is okay. So thank you. But I was upset about
[23:39.120 -> 23:55.920] it while writing the poll. And the 22%- I did vote no that's too many and agreed with me I see you but yeah no I
[23:55.920 -> 24:03.120] know it's a me problem moving on did Asim Martin figure it out the options are yes they're back
[24:04.080 -> 24:06.800] option two is unsure I think it might be a one-off
[24:06.800 -> 24:12.320] result, and option three is Mercedes just had an off week. And a little background to that third
[24:12.320 -> 24:17.200] one there is I always said that if you looked at the gap between Aston Martin and Red Bull at the
[24:17.200 -> 24:21.680] beginning of the season, while Aston Martin did do really well compared to their last year self,
[24:22.240 -> 24:25.200] there was a Ferrari and Mercedes size gap
[24:25.200 -> 24:29.520] between the Red Bull and Aston Martin every single week.
[24:29.520 -> 24:32.380] So what did you think this week?
[24:32.380 -> 24:35.240] Yes, unsure, or Mercedes just had an off week?
[24:35.240 -> 24:36.500] I don't remember what I voted,
[24:36.500 -> 24:41.040] but my opinion in life is a one-off week
[24:41.040 -> 24:43.100] and Mercedes had an off week,
[24:43.100 -> 24:46.320] so like a little bit of both of those is where I feel.
[24:47.120 -> 24:51.920] Well that is where people landed. 60% of people said I'm sure I think it might just be a one-off
[24:51.920 -> 24:58.720] result. 30% of people said Mercedes just had an off week and only 10% said yes they are back.
[24:59.600 -> 25:04.400] I'm with you. I think it could be one I think both those aren't mutually exclusive those are
[25:04.400 -> 25:05.520] two of the same thoughts
[25:05.520 -> 25:08.240] I'm unsure and Mercedes definitely had an off week
[25:10.480 -> 25:15.960] Sprint weekends still ruin the suspense for Sunday really ruined the suspense for Sunday
[25:16.240 -> 25:19.320] Why are they why were they pretending Lando could win today?
[25:20.720 -> 25:23.960] Why were we pretending that was like I this felt silly
[25:23.960 -> 25:26.000] I felt like someone was like, being like,
[25:26.000 -> 25:30.640] Oh, Santa Claus is coming, you gotta go to sleep. And I'm like, what do you mean? He's not real.
[25:30.640 -> 25:33.440] And Lando's not gonna beat Max Verstappen.
[25:33.440 -> 25:39.200] We all saw Lando lose to Max in the sprint by 9 seconds.
[25:39.200 -> 25:42.640] And you're trying to pretend for two laps like this is real?
[25:42.640 -> 25:46.200] Yeah, 57% of people went, why are they pretending
[25:46.200 -> 25:51.480] Lando could win today? 29% said really ruin the suspense for Sunday and 14% and still
[25:51.480 -> 25:56.200] ruin the suspense for Sunday. And yes, I gave no option for saying the sprint was a good
[25:56.200 -> 26:03.960] idea. Bad. All bad. If I'm going to hide the polls, I'm going to be biased. Did the end
[26:03.960 -> 26:08.400] of the race, did the end of race excitement, which was the most incredible
[26:08.400 -> 26:12.500] race to the finish I think I've seen ever.
[26:12.500 -> 26:13.500] It's been a while.
[26:13.500 -> 26:16.440] Whoa, the photos, insane.
[26:16.440 -> 26:20.480] So did that end of race excitement help Paris?
[26:20.480 -> 26:23.120] Options were made him look good, made him look bad.
[26:23.120 -> 26:25.120] We know he isn't staying in the Red Bull seat. So yeah
[26:25.960 -> 26:30.040] Yeah, I'm falling surprised if you listen to last week's episode
[26:30.040 -> 26:32.200] Um, I picked the last one
[26:32.200 -> 26:39.940] I you know, I don't think it's gonna necessarily make a difference because again Checo wasn't racing max to the finish
[26:41.120 -> 26:45.520] Clarify, but it was still fun to watch, but he wasn't chasing Max.
[26:46.720 -> 26:52.000] Yeah, so the winner of this poll was a tie between we know he isn't staying in the Red Bulls'
[26:52.000 -> 26:59.120] seat, so Shrug, with made him look good. And I don't see any world where him not being able to
[26:59.120 -> 27:05.400] pass Alonso for 20 laps and then losing to him on a race to the finish line in a Red Bull that Max
[27:05.400 -> 27:10.120] won the race by nearly a minute in, made Checo look good.
[27:10.120 -> 27:11.120] Karly.
[27:11.120 -> 27:13.120] I think it makes him look good to Williams.
[27:13.120 -> 27:20.840] I think it makes him look good to places he doesn't want to go to, so there's a certain
[27:20.840 -> 27:25.960] group that makes him look good, and it makes him look good, I guess, in the general, like, wow, look at like
[27:25.960 -> 27:28.720] Alonzo and Perez, you're racing, whatever.
[27:29.400 -> 27:30.600] I don't Helman.
[27:30.600 -> 27:33.200] Marco doesn't think that, uh, nope.
[27:33.220 -> 27:39.360] People don't think I, I don't, I, I genuinely don't believe how any, like
[27:39.360 -> 27:43.240] how you think that would make him look good that he can't pass the Aston Martin.
[27:43.320 -> 27:49.040] Like, but it was exciting racing. So I so I would I loved that I look enjoyment to
[27:49.040 -> 27:54.160] your point great all right final poll the Brazil GP weekend and this has
[27:54.160 -> 27:58.680] become my traditional last poll now who will be the fastest non Red Bull team at
[27:58.680 -> 28:08.560] the Vegas GP which is our next race the options were McLaren, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Other. Where'd you vote? I voted
[28:08.560 -> 28:16.240] McLaren. As did most people, 64% of people voted for McLaren, but I will point out that this week
[28:16.240 -> 28:23.920] Ferrari got some votes at 27% and Other got 9% of the votes, which I think are some positive
[28:23.920 -> 28:25.680] Mercedes fans holding on to some
[28:25.680 -> 28:27.480] hope and Aston Martin got none.
[28:27.480 -> 28:28.480] Wow, that's so great.
[28:28.480 -> 28:30.640] I'm so excited for Ferrari though.
[28:30.640 -> 28:33.640] They never get votes in these polls.
[28:33.640 -> 28:34.640] I know.
[28:34.640 -> 28:42.160] So make sure you go follow us at Gridwalk Show to participate in the polls after the
[28:42.160 -> 28:44.280] Vegas GP.
[28:44.280 -> 28:46.000] We didn't point out to the people listening to the pod yet
[28:46.000 -> 28:50.000] that you've completed the circle of the comment you made last week
[28:50.000 -> 28:53.000] and you are wearing your 1989 Taylor's Version cardigan.
[28:53.000 -> 28:55.000] Yeah, so some crazy magic happened.
[28:55.000 -> 28:58.000] Maybe I'm on, like, a magic Swifty list. I have no idea.
[28:58.000 -> 29:00.000] But I didn't think I was going to get this cardigan
[29:00.000 -> 29:03.000] until, like, January of 2024, and then it arrived.
[29:03.000 -> 29:05.840] So maybe Taylor Swift listens to Gridwalk and
[29:05.840 -> 29:10.640] heard that I purchased this cardigan instead of buying a Danny Rick Red Bull hat and this is her
[29:10.640 -> 29:18.080] like being like, I support you, you made a good decision. Go Mercedes, here's your 1989 cardigan
[29:18.080 -> 29:23.120] like crazy early. So I felt like I needed to, you know, complete. I didn't lie. I didn't buy the
[29:23.120 -> 29:26.320] Danny Rick hat because I did buy this.
[29:26.320 -> 29:30.080] So not only are we about to dive into some incredibly fun
[29:30.080 -> 29:33.040] marketing things that is some of Gridwalk's favorite things
[29:33.040 -> 29:37.260] to talk about, but it is the continued involvement
[29:37.260 -> 29:41.620] of brands that are not only like geared towards females,
[29:41.620 -> 29:44.100] but makeup brands, makeup brands being involved
[29:44.100 -> 29:52.120] in motorsports has grown this year to like a level that's probably never been seen before because females'
[29:52.120 -> 29:56.880] presence in motorsports has just been becoming more and more evident. So what kicked off
[29:56.880 -> 30:02.880] this entire segment was last week, Bianca Bustamante announced as one of her newest
[30:02.880 -> 30:06.120] sponsors, is Anastasia Beverly Hills and
[30:06.600 -> 30:13.440] Funny enough earlier. We talked about RuPaul's Drag Race, which is also sponsored by Anastasia Beverly Hills and now they are
[30:14.080 -> 30:15.800] investments
[30:15.800 -> 30:21.320] Incredible wonderful investments. I wonder if Bianca gets a lifetime supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills
[30:21.320 -> 30:25.840] They have also sponsored my eyebrows today and every single day
[30:25.840 -> 30:27.640] because they have the best brow pencil.
[30:27.640 -> 30:31.040] This is a not sponsored segment.
[30:31.040 -> 30:34.000] But I would totally accept one.
[30:34.000 -> 30:35.520] I would totally, 100%.
[30:35.520 -> 30:39.680] Anastasia, highly recommend many of your products.
[30:39.680 -> 30:43.840] But it's crazy of their involvement
[30:43.840 -> 30:45.700] is not just that they're sponsoring her.
[30:45.700 -> 30:47.100] There's a logo on the brace suit.
[30:47.100 -> 30:51.100] There's a Anastasia logo on the car livery.
[30:51.100 -> 30:52.700] It's so very present.
[30:52.700 -> 30:56.400] It's so very loud and Anastasia would not be putting their money here
[30:56.400 -> 30:57.000] if they did nothing.
[30:57.000 -> 30:59.900] Their customer was here and that is us.
[30:59.900 -> 31:00.800] We are here.
[31:00.800 -> 31:01.400] We are here.
[31:01.400 -> 31:02.200] We are here.
[31:02.200 -> 31:06.880] So there's been a couple of examples of this, but initially, what are your thoughts?
[31:06.880 -> 31:08.120] How hyped are you?
[31:08.120 -> 31:09.920] How unimpressed are you?
[31:09.920 -> 31:11.560] But I think I know where you're falling.
[31:11.560 -> 31:12.360] No, no, no.
[31:12.360 -> 31:14.240] We've, of course, talked about this offline,
[31:14.240 -> 31:15.960] and I'm super hyped.
[31:15.960 -> 31:19.320] I will always be excited when a brand that you don't
[31:19.320 -> 31:22.240] traditionally attach to the traditional motorsports
[31:22.240 -> 31:25.680] audience learns and understands that their audience
[31:25.680 -> 31:31.520] is watching motorsports and is supporting drivers, and then they back that up by sponsoring them.
[31:32.560 -> 31:37.200] So yeah, Bianca's doing like a one-off race in November, that's a street circuit race,
[31:37.200 -> 31:42.240] and the livery on the car with the Anastasia Beverly Hills logo is unbelievably cool in my
[31:42.240 -> 31:46.720] opinion. These sponsorship investments, particularly one as
[31:46.720 -> 31:52.800] visible as this is going to be, and Bianca has an incredible social media following that she pushed
[31:52.800 -> 31:59.120] all this out to, they only make that kind of financial investment if they know that the right
[31:59.120 -> 32:06.560] eyeballs are watching. Which means that this brand understands that makeup wearers of any gender are watching
[32:06.560 -> 32:13.000] Bianca and watching her race and watching that race series. And so it's just so great
[32:13.000 -> 32:19.280] to see more non-traditional brands like that get involved in motorsports because they're
[32:19.280 -> 32:27.640] seeing us. They know we exist and it is very exciting. Not Gridwalk, non-traditional motorsports viewers, like us.
[32:27.640 -> 32:30.600] Like us as a collective, not Gridwalk, but hi!
[32:30.600 -> 32:31.600] Oh, hello!
[32:31.600 -> 32:32.600] If you're listening.
[32:32.600 -> 32:36.120] It's also so funny of when we...
[32:36.120 -> 32:39.600] Brianna made a really great video about this on all of our short form, so if you'd like
[32:39.600 -> 32:40.600] to go check that out.
[32:40.600 -> 32:44.760] But while like doing the editing, ooh, behind the scenes of this, looking at the Anastasia
[32:44.760 -> 32:46.480] Beverly Hills Instagram and scrolling and you just see makeup, doing the editing, ooh, behind the scenes of this, looking at the Anastasia Beverly Hills Instagram
[32:46.480 -> 32:48.320] and scrolling and you just see makeup, makeup, makeup,
[32:48.320 -> 32:49.840] makeup, makeup, and then there's like this
[32:49.840 -> 32:53.040] motor sports post of the car livery and Bianca.
[32:53.040 -> 32:56.880] So it's so crazy of like them also highlighting that
[32:56.880 -> 32:58.680] amongst all of their products where you feel like
[32:58.680 -> 33:01.320] it wouldn't fit, but like to us, it makes so much sense
[33:01.320 -> 33:04.160] because hi, we are the demo and we are their customers
[33:04.160 -> 33:06.980] and they are advertising a driver that you and I have
[33:07.140 -> 33:14.260] been supporting and rooting for and we've seen have success and also love what she's done in the pivot on her social media
[33:14.340 -> 33:20.800] So this is checking every single box for me across the board. I think it is my favorite
[33:21.740 -> 33:27.000] Ooh, it's close. I think personally just because I am such an Anastasia like loyalist,
[33:27.000 -> 33:32.520] it is like my favorite makeup collaboration in motorsports of the year, but there have
[33:32.520 -> 33:35.960] been a couple that have been pretty great.
[33:35.960 -> 33:42.780] I am still really partial to the Elf Cosmetics sponsorship that Catherine got at the Indy
[33:42.780 -> 33:46.400] 500, also because of all the activations
[33:46.400 -> 33:51.600] that they did with her, where they brought her into the store and they filmed additional
[33:51.600 -> 33:58.200] content. So I really felt like they maximized that sponsorship really well. Also, I think
[33:58.200 -> 34:02.160] part of it is like, the Indy 500 is such a big deal.
[34:02.160 -> 34:03.160] Huge.
[34:03.160 -> 34:07.920] And that's why, so like Elf being a sponsor of a female driver participating in the Indy 500 is such a big deal. Huge. And that's why, so like, Elf being a sponsor of a female driver,
[34:07.920 -> 34:11.400] participating in the Indy 500 just felt so big
[34:11.400 -> 34:12.920] and cool in the moment.
[34:12.920 -> 34:14.480] And I believe she was on Good Morning America
[34:14.480 -> 34:15.320] talking about it.
[34:15.320 -> 34:18.860] If not, it was one of the other morning shows.
[34:20.320 -> 34:23.740] But this is, like, this just feels like another,
[34:23.740 -> 34:25.040] like, stack on that
[34:25.040 -> 34:28.760] Like I wonder if Anastasia Beverly Hills is going to which is such a mouthful
[34:29.120 -> 34:35.960] Which is gonna follow Bianca to F1 Academy next year as one of her sponsors because F1 Academy drivers still have to get
[34:37.680 -> 34:40.920] $100,000 in sponsorship every year, so I hope that's the case
[34:42.000 -> 34:46.240] So just every single one of these is good, but the elf cosmetics for the Indy 500
[34:46.240 -> 34:48.360] was pretty high up on my list.
[34:48.360 -> 34:50.200] I don't know if this one seats that.
[34:50.200 -> 34:51.720] No, it definitely is really cool.
[34:51.720 -> 34:54.600] Maybe I'm like trying to manifest that
[34:54.600 -> 34:57.640] they saw that Catherine and Elf partnership
[34:57.640 -> 34:58.520] and see everything that they did
[34:58.520 -> 35:00.400] and they kind of try to make it that way
[35:00.400 -> 35:01.980] because I totally believe that.
[35:01.980 -> 35:03.900] I also love that Catherine's helmet
[35:03.900 -> 35:06.020] has like the elf logo
[35:06.020 -> 35:07.880] and like that kind of branding is really sick.
[35:07.880 -> 35:11.600] So hopefully that will, you know, continue with Anastasia.
[35:11.600 -> 35:15.100] And then something that we've also talked about before
[35:15.100 -> 35:17.940] is for Miami GP this year, Tarte Cosmetics
[35:17.940 -> 35:20.960] did an entire brand trip to Miami GP.
[35:20.960 -> 35:23.600] So just the fact that they recognize that
[35:23.600 -> 35:26.200] inviting influencers to attend an event,
[35:26.200 -> 35:28.440] and they had some of the biggest brand trips this year
[35:28.440 -> 35:30.640] with their Tart Island and the different things
[35:30.640 -> 35:31.720] that everyone was talking about.
[35:31.720 -> 35:33.120] So the fact that this brand felt
[35:33.120 -> 35:34.440] that would be important enough
[35:34.440 -> 35:37.680] to have influencers creating any sort of content
[35:37.680 -> 35:39.840] or having their branding associated.
[35:39.840 -> 35:42.120] Like they had all this stuff of like the Tart Raceway
[35:42.120 -> 35:43.120] and different things like that.
[35:43.120 -> 35:45.480] And Miami is not cheap.
[35:45.480 -> 35:49.080] So that's definitely an investment for sure.
[35:49.080 -> 35:51.720] It was really cool that they even thought
[35:51.720 -> 35:54.240] to go to the Miami GP this year.
[35:54.240 -> 35:55.440] Oh yeah, yeah, definitely.
[35:55.440 -> 35:57.200] And I think sponsorship, money,
[35:57.200 -> 35:58.320] put your money where your mouth is
[35:58.320 -> 35:59.280] and where you're supporting
[35:59.280 -> 36:01.220] and wanting your customers to see it
[36:01.220 -> 36:04.280] because as someone that already really enjoyed Elf
[36:04.280 -> 36:06.340] and Anastasia Beverly Hills,
[36:06.340 -> 36:08.220] it's just like reinforcing more
[36:08.220 -> 36:09.740] that I want to keep buying that.
[36:09.740 -> 36:12.140] We have seen a couple of skincare brands this year
[36:12.140 -> 36:15.700] that sponsored Lewis Hamilton and Yuki Tsunoda,
[36:15.700 -> 36:18.980] but they've been very like clinical skincare brands.
[36:18.980 -> 36:21.660] So I wouldn't call them beauty skincare brands
[36:21.660 -> 36:24.940] if I'm gonna classify and get really nerdy about it.
[36:24.940 -> 36:25.440] But we do
[36:25.440 -> 36:31.640] have Alex Albon with CeraVe and that is my... I believe I wash my face with the
[36:31.640 -> 36:38.680] same face wash that Alex Albon washes his face with. I think I do too. So I
[36:38.680 -> 36:45.000] always feel like you know once is random, two could just still be random.
[36:45.760 -> 36:47.800] But once you start to get a third one
[36:47.800 -> 36:50.000] and a fourth one with the Alex Albon, Sarah V,
[36:50.000 -> 36:52.400] it definitely feels like we're starting to see a trend
[36:52.400 -> 36:56.280] emerge of brands and like beauty brands understanding
[36:56.280 -> 36:59.340] that being involved in Formula One and motorsports
[36:59.340 -> 37:02.000] in general is a place they want to be
[37:02.000 -> 37:03.200] because their customers there.
[37:03.200 -> 37:04.240] And that's exciting.
[37:04.240 -> 37:07.780] And I'm like, if we're at the end of 2023,
[37:07.780 -> 37:10.480] like this makes me really hopeful for the types of brands
[37:10.480 -> 37:13.960] we should start to see in 2024, if the trend continues.
[37:15.340 -> 37:17.180] Okay, I need to fangirl, I need to fangirl.
[37:17.180 -> 37:18.260] I'm very excited.
[37:18.260 -> 37:20.340] And I can't believe we didn't fangirl about this last week,
[37:20.340 -> 37:22.260] but I'm excited to fangirl about it this week.
[37:22.260 -> 37:24.740] So disclaimer, of course we're an F1 pod.
[37:24.740 -> 37:30.160] We're not a NASCAR pod. I don't even watch NASCAR. I keep a peripheral eye on it because
[37:30.160 -> 37:35.500] motorsports and like you know interest overlap etc. And I like to see the cool sponsorship
[37:35.500 -> 37:39.700] and marketing things they do. I think the last time we talked about NASCAR on this podcast
[37:39.700 -> 37:46.460] was when Wawa did a sponsorship with NASCAR. and I was so excited about the Wawa cars. Well, similar reason right now.
[37:46.460 -> 37:49.340] Star Wars and Columbia, the clothing brand,
[37:49.340 -> 37:54.340] did a sponsorship of Bubba Wallace's car this weekend,
[37:55.100 -> 37:57.780] and it looked, they made the car look like an X-Wing,
[37:57.780 -> 38:00.460] and he was wearing a Star Wars flight suit,
[38:00.460 -> 38:01.820] the orange flight suit,
[38:01.820 -> 38:04.220] and his helmet looked like a Star Wars helmet,
[38:04.220 -> 38:05.920] and R2-D2 was at the race
[38:05.920 -> 38:09.840] and it was one of the coolest things and they announced it with a video with Mark Hamill who
[38:09.840 -> 38:18.000] by the way is Luke Skywalker and it was I ah and then in the commercial and Mark Hamill's like
[38:18.000 -> 38:22.560] you're gonna need this and then it's the helmet and I'm just like this is this is incredible
[38:22.560 -> 38:27.280] marketing you're making such a great decision. I mean, like, it is,
[38:27.280 -> 38:30.760] any time a organization is able to utilize
[38:30.760 -> 38:32.680] the Star Wars branding, like,
[38:32.680 -> 38:35.140] it's like such a magical, beautiful recipe
[38:35.140 -> 38:36.700] when they do it the right way.
[38:36.700 -> 38:39.520] And numerous times in racing we've seen before
[38:39.520 -> 38:41.680] that like with F1 and Red Bull doing
[38:41.680 -> 38:44.240] an entire really sick livery, like,
[38:44.240 -> 38:48.120] ah, ah, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
[38:48.120 -> 38:49.500] Getting very blurry.
[38:49.500 -> 38:51.040] I mean, I know what you're talking about,
[38:51.040 -> 38:55.020] but we'll put a beautiful insert of just being able to see it.
[38:55.020 -> 38:57.420] I can't believe R2-D2 is at the race.
[38:57.420 -> 39:01.700] They even extended beyond just the advertisement of it,
[39:01.700 -> 39:09.440] which is also a fantastic, very, anytime Mark Any time Mark Hamill, like, gets into an advertisement of, like, being Luke Skywalker,
[39:09.440 -> 39:13.240] it is so motivational and, like, crazy,
[39:13.240 -> 39:16.120] because it's also going to tug on, like, every single person's heartstrings,
[39:16.120 -> 39:19.520] from, like, the young Star Wars lover to the original Star Wars lover,
[39:19.520 -> 39:21.920] so marketing, check, check, check, check, check.
[39:21.920 -> 39:24.600] Like, you're really hitting the nail on the head here.
[39:24.600 -> 39:27.400] And I'm really sorry to his teammate Tyler Riddick who yes
[39:27.400 -> 39:33.240] He also had a spaceship as a car and he dressed up as an Imperial officer and stormtroopers were there
[39:33.240 -> 39:37.340] But that just was significantly less cool because he's he's dressing up as a fascist
[39:37.340 -> 39:43.620] So like I'm sorry, but Bubba Wallace got to be an x-wing pilot and it was so cool
[39:44.160 -> 39:52.300] got to be an X-Wing pilot and it was so cool! And Tyler Riddick, you seem like a cool dude and you just got the short straw because you
[39:52.300 -> 39:58.380] didn't get to like be like Jedi inducted by Mark Hamill and drive an X-Wing.
[39:58.380 -> 40:01.140] But it was still cool that they gave you Stormtroopers.
[40:01.140 -> 40:05.040] So I just didn't want to forget the other half of this collab. But R2-D2,
[40:05.040 -> 40:12.260] and like, I will always be obsessed with any connection to like a fighter pilot in general,
[40:12.260 -> 40:17.400] but also a Star Wars fighter pilot and racing. And they've done this with like F1 cars before
[40:17.400 -> 40:23.160] as well. And George Lucas, who created Star Wars, was a massive F1 fan. Well, not was,
[40:23.160 -> 40:29.140] is a massive F1 fan. And he actually talked about the feeling in a dogfight
[40:29.140 -> 40:33.300] in one of the Star Wars movies needs to feel like an F1 race.
[40:33.300 -> 40:35.460] And so there's all these parallels of pod racing
[40:35.460 -> 40:38.820] in episode one is basically just him wanting to create F1
[40:38.820 -> 40:39.660] in Star Wars.
[40:39.660 -> 40:44.000] The sound of pod racers in episode one is Formula One cars,
[40:44.000 -> 40:46.480] which was news that I got to share with Brianna
[40:46.480 -> 40:51.920] before I let Star Wars into my life and just thought it was like, that's a fact. And now I
[40:51.920 -> 40:58.000] think that's like the sickest fact ever. So yes, this segment is just me screaming in excitement
[40:58.000 -> 41:05.780] about how incredibly cool I thought this Columbia and Star Wars partnership with like the 23 team in NASCAR which is the one
[41:05.780 -> 41:11.700] that Michael Jordan owns is did this weekend like it was brilliant brilliant marketing
[41:11.700 -> 41:16.200] and I will get hyped about anything Star Wars and racing. I want them to do a Star Wars
[41:16.200 -> 41:21.100] livery at F1 again. It's been I think it's been since episode three when they did the
[41:21.100 -> 41:25.300] one in Monaco for Red Bull. I can't talk about episode three.
[41:25.300 -> 41:27.400] I can't, I can't, I can't talk about it.
[41:27.400 -> 41:30.620] I can't, I'm, nope, can't do it.
[41:30.620 -> 41:32.000] I'll just cry.
[41:33.080 -> 41:35.460] All right, we have a fun edition
[41:35.460 -> 41:37.420] of Grill the Gridwalk Hosts,
[41:37.420 -> 41:41.380] where one of us sends frantic texts to the other person
[41:41.380 -> 41:43.460] when F1 drops a Grill the Grid
[41:43.460 -> 41:45.760] or adjacent-like content on the YouTube
[41:45.760 -> 41:51.120] channel going, don't watch the video today because we want to create this content.
[41:51.120 -> 41:57.120] So a couple weeks ago F1 dropped kind of a Pictionary drawing challenge on their YouTube
[41:57.120 -> 41:59.980] and Nicole has not seen it.
[41:59.980 -> 42:06.540] So I have pulled the four drawings that represent different phrases.
[42:06.540 -> 42:10.300] And I'm going to share the image and Nicole is going to have to do what some of the drivers
[42:10.300 -> 42:14.940] did which is guess what this drawing is.
[42:14.940 -> 42:15.940] They're F1 phrases?
[42:15.940 -> 42:16.940] Yes.
[42:16.940 -> 42:20.660] Oh, I'm going to forget everything that I know about this entire sport.
[42:20.660 -> 42:23.120] Yep, that's okay.
[42:23.120 -> 42:27.680] There are four photos we're going to look at today.
[42:27.680 -> 42:32.760] That represent, there are two photos that represent the same thing.
[42:32.760 -> 42:34.360] Just so you're aware.
[42:34.360 -> 42:36.160] That feels like a trap, but okay.
[42:36.160 -> 42:38.720] It does. Yeah.
[42:38.720 -> 42:42.680] They do all kind of relate to each other. They're all in like similar realms, except
[42:42.680 -> 42:44.320] for one of them is a little out of left field.
[42:44.320 -> 42:48.960] I don't know if these hints are helping or hurting you. I honestly don't know. I kind of
[42:50.000 -> 42:56.000] feel the same. I don't know if they're helping or hurting but let's yeah sure. And we will give you
[42:56.000 -> 43:06.200] a time limit but not a guess limit. So you have you'll have fortune. Yeah I mean I'm gonna give you like a loose 20-30 seconds or
[43:06.200 -> 43:13.320] until you have zero things to yell out okay okay you can you can give up so
[43:13.320 -> 43:20.280] Oscar drew this and Max had to guess what it was Max guessed incorrectly so
[43:20.280 -> 43:24.400] if you guess this correctly you you got it and Max didn't but hopefully that
[43:24.400 -> 43:26.800] actually just makes you feel better if you don't get it.
[43:26.800 -> 43:29.280] That this is a racing concept.
[43:29.280 -> 43:30.320] Oh god.
[43:30.320 -> 43:33.040] The world champion didn't guess it correctly.
[43:33.040 -> 43:33.600] Oh no.
[43:34.320 -> 43:35.120] All right, ready?
[43:36.720 -> 43:37.520] Guess.
[43:37.520 -> 43:37.840] Okay.
[43:38.960 -> 43:40.880] Oh, it's an undercut!
[43:40.880 -> 43:42.080] It is an undercut!
[43:43.200 -> 43:49.000] I thought that this was an incredible drawing by Oscar Piazzolini for an undercut.
[43:49.000 -> 43:51.000] Congratulations, that was great.
[43:51.000 -> 43:54.000] Well I saw the scissor and I said, well that's a cut.
[43:54.000 -> 43:59.000] And then I said, okay so the top one's gonna be under or over and it's pointing under a table.
[43:59.000 -> 44:02.000] Yeah, how did Max not get that?
[44:02.000 -> 44:06.240] All I know is that Max did get cut, but he didn't get undercut.
[44:06.240 -> 44:12.040] Cool, okay, well, hi everyone, I'm the new drivers championship of F1.
[44:12.040 -> 44:13.040] Nice to meet you.
[44:13.040 -> 44:14.040] Because you're better at Pictionary.
[44:14.040 -> 44:18.200] I'm better at Pictionary than Max Pristap.
[44:18.200 -> 44:27.960] So Nico Hulkenberg drew this next photo, and K-Mag had to guess it and he did guess incorrectly.
[44:27.960 -> 44:28.960] Who drew this?
[44:28.960 -> 44:32.040] Nico Holkenberg and I actually think it's a pretty good drawing.
[44:32.040 -> 44:33.840] I'm impressed with the drawing.
[44:33.840 -> 44:34.840] Nico Holkenberg.
[44:34.840 -> 44:40.720] I mean, this, it looks like a turn but something's happening at the turn.
[44:40.720 -> 44:41.720] Is it?
[44:41.720 -> 44:42.720] 10 seconds.
[44:42.720 -> 44:43.720] Gravel trap.
[44:43.720 -> 44:44.720] Nope.
[44:44.720 -> 44:48.720] Apex. Nope. I will say it's an action to give you a hint.
[44:49.520 -> 45:01.440] Um oh oh. Honestly I really can't. I'm lifting unbreaking I don't know turning. And time up.
[45:01.440 -> 45:07.300] No idea. It was corner cutting. Oh, okay, I do see that now.
[45:07.300 -> 45:10.820] I personally think that he didn't cut the corner enough
[45:10.820 -> 45:11.980] to make this obvious.
[45:11.980 -> 45:12.820] I understand why Ken and I did that.
[45:12.820 -> 45:14.020] Oh my God, that's a car.
[45:14.020 -> 45:17.420] I thought that was like a boom collision.
[45:17.420 -> 45:19.020] That's a car.
[45:19.020 -> 45:20.020] Oh, okay.
[45:21.300 -> 45:22.580] Yep, yep.
[45:23.540 -> 45:24.520] All right.
[45:28.720 -> 45:29.720] Drawing number three. This is fun.
[45:29.720 -> 45:37.160] I think this is, this was a fun video idea that F1 put together.
[45:37.160 -> 45:41.440] And the way F1's video worked is that when someone guessed incorrectly that was what
[45:41.440 -> 45:50.440] the next person had to draw, so there was like a chain, I just pulled the images for you yeah that's a fun idea all right George
[45:50.440 -> 45:56.760] drew this and Charles was the one who got to guess it and he guessed correctly
[45:56.760 -> 46:07.440] um okay this he why did George get colors no No one else had colors. I think he was the only one who decided to use the colors.
[46:07.440 -> 46:09.800] That sounds very George of him.
[46:09.800 -> 46:10.800] Yeah.
[46:10.800 -> 46:11.800] Okay.
[46:11.800 -> 46:13.320] Whatever I have to say.
[46:13.320 -> 46:14.320] Whatever the yellow is.
[46:14.320 -> 46:17.000] Is this the finish line?
[46:17.000 -> 46:18.000] Finish line.
[46:18.000 -> 46:19.000] Lights out.
[46:19.000 -> 46:20.000] Is it the light?
[46:20.000 -> 46:21.000] 10 seconds.
[46:21.000 -> 46:22.000] Nope.
[46:22.000 -> 46:23.000] Um.
[46:23.000 -> 46:24.000] Oh!
[46:24.000 -> 46:27.000] Track limits? Oh no! Yes! Yes! It's track limits!
[46:27.000 -> 46:31.000] And for those of you who also haven't watched this YouTube video yet,
[46:31.000 -> 46:36.000] George gave a full description about why he decided to draw it this way.
[46:36.000 -> 46:40.000] And I really do think it was a good description, and I think it was a good drawing.
[46:40.000 -> 46:46.000] I really almost, after I said track limits, I was like, oh no, I almost just screamed pyramid curbs!
[46:46.000 -> 46:50.000] But I was like, this had to be shot way before all that went down.
[46:50.000 -> 46:54.000] Yeah, this is all shot at their like, beginning of season media day.
[46:54.000 -> 46:56.000] It's their press day.
[46:56.000 -> 47:08.200] Okay, so the hint I'll give you for this one is, I said at the beginning that one of the three things you said has repeated. So you really just need to figure out for this final drawing that Lando did,
[47:08.200 -> 47:11.200] which of the three you've already seen.
[47:11.200 -> 47:11.700] Said.
[47:11.700 -> 47:12.700] Yeah.
[47:12.700 -> 47:16.700] And Lance was the one who had to guess from Lando's drawing, and he guessed correctly.
[47:16.700 -> 47:17.700] Cool. Sick.
[47:19.000 -> 47:20.200] I feel really confident.
[47:22.200 -> 47:24.200] This is corner cutting!
[47:24.200 -> 47:31.000] It is not. No. No? Womp wom not. No. Track limit? This was Lando's drawing for track limits.
[47:31.000 -> 47:35.000] This was a trap. I know exactly what you did here. That is...
[47:35.000 -> 47:43.000] See, but if I didn't tell you that it repeated, you would guess everything else that is not one of those three.
[47:43.000 -> 47:49.200] Because you'd be like, oh, Brianna wouldn't, like,'t like like the content would repeat Brianna wouldn't pull a repeat but no
[47:50.160 -> 47:56.960] Landers spent more time doodling his own logo than he did on the actual like drawing so um but I
[47:56.960 -> 48:02.240] honestly think his drawing for track limits is pretty clear that you know yes you can't go that
[48:02.240 -> 48:09.000] way you can go that way I guess that was also my brain is so used to thinking of like, track limits, they're
[48:09.000 -> 48:13.000] like on the outs, like you're going, like it's like a wide turn and you're not like,
[48:13.000 -> 48:19.000] that just seems so, and this was the setup, it seems like that is literally corner cutting,
[48:19.000 -> 48:21.000] but fine.
[48:22.000 -> 48:27.440] And that was this week's Grille the Gridwalk host. We do have a full playlist of every
[48:27.440 -> 48:30.160] other time we've done this. We've done this for almost every Grill the Grid that they've
[48:30.160 -> 48:33.600] put out this season. One of us was put on the hot seat to see if we could do better
[48:33.600 -> 48:37.560] than F1 drivers. So go check out that playlist.
[48:37.560 -> 48:41.120] I just opened up my Twitter while you were going to the bathroom to the news that Jason
[48:41.120 -> 48:44.120] Kelsey is one of the finalists for Sexiest Men Alive this year.
[48:44.120 -> 48:49.000] Wait, but we're all... Wait! Wow, wait, whoa, wait, hold on.
[48:49.000 -> 48:50.000] Uh-huh?
[48:50.000 -> 48:52.000] They're announcing tonight, I think, isn't it?
[48:52.000 -> 48:53.000] This- it's at midnight.
[48:53.000 -> 48:54.000] They teased it.
[48:54.000 -> 48:56.000] It's gonna be Pedro Pascal.
[48:56.000 -> 48:59.000] I mean, I honestly think it should be Pedro Pascal.
[48:59.000 -> 49:00.000] I mean, it should.
[49:00.000 -> 49:02.000] But sexy Batman?
[49:02.000 -> 49:03.000] Yeah.
[49:03.000 -> 49:09.400] Wait, is this- are you sure this isn't from like an Eagles account that like edited Jason
[49:09.400 -> 49:11.400] into the finalist?
[49:11.400 -> 49:12.400] No.
[49:12.400 -> 49:14.600] But I... either way I didn't...
[49:14.600 -> 49:20.520] I was about to fact check it and I was like, in case it is true, I'm going to catch Nicole
[49:20.520 -> 49:27.520] off guard with a recording to react. I didn't know what you were about to tell me, but it definitely
[49:27.880 -> 49:29.880] wasn't that.
[49:30.400 -> 49:32.400] People.com
[49:33.920 -> 49:39.440] I mean that's a hot picture of Jason and I'm very confused by it. No, Jason Kelsey is hot.
[49:39.440 -> 50:08.840] Oh, no, no, no, but it's just no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Believe that Jason somehow got his way into being a finalist of sexiest man alive Just like a talk about the podcast being like Oh Travis Kelsey's on the map
[50:08.840 -> 50:12.440] Well, guess who's a finalist for sexiest man alive not Travis
[50:12.720 -> 50:18.400] This is the same man who didn't understand why he had the number one female selling jersey in the entire
[50:18.640 -> 50:23.620] League and it wasn't he had the number one selling jersey in the league as a woman's jersey
[50:24.560 -> 50:29.800] You know what that meant? He didn't know what he's like. He was like boobs. It's men with boobs and you're like no
[50:29.800 -> 50:31.800] That's not what a woman
[50:32.920 -> 50:35.120] Women love you Jason. I don't know what to tell you
[50:36.040 -> 50:39.740] And I just oh my god, I need to hear what his wife has to say about this
[50:41.200 -> 50:47.120] She's our responses. She can fight. She already responded on the new heights episode of this is mine.
[50:47.920 -> 50:48.640] And that's it.
[50:48.720 -> 50:50.840] And I honestly, you were right.
[50:50.880 -> 50:53.400] And I go ahead.
[50:53.720 -> 51:00.400] The pop culture weirdness and moment that would be the center of the Philadelphia
[51:00.440 -> 51:04.600] Eagles on the cover of people's sexiest man alive would be one of the most
[51:04.600 -> 51:08.720] confusing, confounding moments of my entire life and I want it to happen. I
[51:08.720 -> 51:13.040] have over there, I have two things hanging framed on my wall. I have the
[51:13.040 -> 51:17.320] cover of the magazine from the Eagles winning the Super Bowl in 2018 and I
[51:17.320 -> 51:23.700] have a cover of the magazine from when Kobe died. I will add a third one which
[51:23.700 -> 51:25.680] is the cover of the People's Magazine
[51:25.680 -> 51:31.880] as Jason Kelce as the sexiest man alive. If this happens, it would go up there with the
[51:31.880 -> 51:32.880] rest of them.
[51:32.880 -> 51:40.320] And when Pedro Pascal wins, it would also be as historic, but also, but like, wow, if
[51:40.320 -> 51:41.320] it is-
[51:41.320 -> 51:42.320] But not the same.
[51:42.320 -> 51:43.320] No, not the same.
[51:43.320 -> 51:46.000] Won't end up on my wall. ...
[51:46.000 -> 51:48.000] ...
[51:48.000 -> 51:50.000] If they don't talk about this on New Heights,
[51:50.000 -> 51:52.000] I'm going to be so disappointed.
[51:52.000 -> 51:54.000] The also funny thing is that
[51:54.000 -> 51:56.000] I'm going to edit this all into content
[51:56.000 -> 51:58.000] and then everyone's going to be listening to this
[51:58.000 -> 52:00.000] knowing what actually happened, but like,
[52:00.000 -> 52:02.000] this is behind the scenes, hope it was fun!
[52:02.000 -> 52:04.000] ...
[52:04.000 -> 52:06.160] Well, this is our last segment before Yellow Sector Notes today.
[52:06.160 -> 52:11.680] And we figured it was a good transition segment away from the horror show that was the Brazil GP weekend
[52:12.120 -> 52:17.500] into what will probably be one of the most chaotic, crazy weekends of the Vegas GP.
[52:17.780 -> 52:21.040] Reminder that all next week is going to be our Vegas GP preview,
[52:21.040 -> 52:23.420] so let us know what you want us to preview and talk about.
[52:23.640 -> 52:31.620] But in pop culture this week, U2, which is doing a residency at the Spear in Las Vegas, is
[52:31.620 -> 52:39.120] like, did a two minute thing about passing off Vegas from their residency to Formula
[52:39.120 -> 52:46.000] One for the next couple weeks. And this whole thing blew my mind as the small child who just like grew up listening
[52:46.000 -> 52:57.360] to so much U2 and like Bono being Bono. But he said in here that men and women climb into rockets
[52:57.360 -> 53:03.840] and try to stay on earth and not achieve orbit or something like that is his quote. And then he goes
[53:03.840 -> 53:05.760] it's a little like rock and roll actually
[53:05.760 -> 53:07.680] and I just I
[53:07.680 -> 53:12.540] Want Bono to describe formula and I want him to get on the commentary and talk about climbing into rockets
[53:12.760 -> 53:17.640] For the entire Vegas GP weekend. That is my hope. Please don't leave please go to the race
[53:19.000 -> 53:26.000] No, you should literally pull an LL Cool J for the Vegas GP and just introduce all the drivers because he basically
[53:26.000 -> 53:27.000] is already practicing.
[53:27.000 -> 53:28.000] Yeah, yeah.
[53:28.000 -> 53:34.480] So he introed Max Verstappen as one of the four great things out of Holland.
[53:34.480 -> 53:41.600] And then he called Lewis Hamilton the most elegant man on the circuit.
[53:41.600 -> 53:45.000] The Monaco model himself, Charles Leclerc.
[53:46.120 -> 53:50.400] And he ended with the right person to bring peace
[53:50.400 -> 53:54.840] between Formula One and NASCAR, Daniel Ricciardo.
[53:54.840 -> 53:57.040] And for starters, it's such a great selection
[53:57.040 -> 53:58.800] of four drivers as like,
[53:58.800 -> 54:01.260] if you were collecting the band of F1,
[54:01.260 -> 54:02.560] which does lead me to wonder,
[54:02.560 -> 54:04.060] like if you were putting together,
[54:04.060 -> 54:09.520] like he put Lewis on the bass, Max on the drums, Charles on the guitar, and Daniel Riccardo
[54:09.520 -> 54:13.400] with the vocals, like Daniel Riccardo definitely will be the one with the vocals in this band.
[54:13.400 -> 54:17.040] I don't know if Max, I mean, Max would take out his aggression on the drums. I don't know,
[54:17.040 -> 54:20.280] I think it's a pretty good F1 band if we're like putting together a bass on personality.
[54:20.280 -> 54:27.080] Yeah, no, I think this is like a pretty sick setup, and I can see everyone working here.
[54:27.080 -> 54:32.160] I think the only one that I would have had in these places is Danny Rick as a singer.
[54:32.160 -> 54:35.680] I think I would have had Louis, actually no, Max on drums.
[54:35.680 -> 54:40.520] I would have Louis on guitar and Charles on bass, just because I feel like Charles is
[54:40.520 -> 54:46.480] in like this moody, like bass strumming, like, you know, that's just where he feels right now and
[54:46.800 -> 54:53.120] Louis would be able to like rip some really sick guitar solos or even drum solos. Um, but the
[54:53.920 -> 55:01.460] Bridging the piece between Formula One and NASCAR for Danny Rick is just like wow Bono gets it Bono like 100%
[55:02.400 -> 55:04.960] Knows it and also if you anyone who watches the video
[55:05.680 -> 55:10.000] it. Bono like 100% knows it. And also for anyone who watches the video, it's literally him introducing all of his band members of like taking on this persona as all of these drivers.
[55:10.800 -> 55:16.000] And I think he selected, I mean, he had to obviously pick Max Verstappen. Like, that's
[55:16.000 -> 55:19.920] obviously where he had to start. But the fact that then he goes to Lewis Charles and Danny Rick made
[55:19.920 -> 55:26.480] me love Bono even more than I already did. And I think Bono is a pretty well reported like F1 fan.
[55:27.280 -> 55:33.280] But I just I don't think I can get past the like decent insult of one of the four great things to
[55:33.280 -> 55:41.680] come out of Holland. Like, I mean, I get it like it's a small country, but like, come on. Give
[55:41.680 -> 55:45.560] more credit, I guess. but it's... Yeah.
[55:45.560 -> 55:47.600] Really wild, like Vegas is already...
[55:47.600 -> 55:48.600] There's so many...
[55:48.600 -> 55:49.600] Gosh, we're gonna...
[55:49.600 -> 55:52.040] The next episode, you're gonna think we're like going to Vegas.
[55:52.040 -> 55:53.360] We're so excited about it.
[55:53.360 -> 55:54.360] I wish.
[55:54.360 -> 55:57.760] And there's, you know, like a lot of things that you could say about the track and the
[55:57.760 -> 55:58.960] racing and whatever.
[55:58.960 -> 55:59.960] That will be...
[55:59.960 -> 56:02.480] Part of what we talk about.
[56:02.480 -> 56:03.480] Yeah.
[56:03.480 -> 56:06.240] Big question mark and we will talk about it but at least the
[56:06.240 -> 56:11.820] activities off track are going to be unique one of a kind nothing that I think F1 has
[56:11.820 -> 56:18.360] ever seen before and right up our alley or bad for good or bad and at least gridwalk
[56:18.360 -> 56:26.240] will be here to at least attempt to translate like what the attempt was here at least and if they were able to
[56:26.240 -> 56:31.920] succeed in things because it's gonna be like a marketing Disney world. I think
[56:31.920 -> 56:36.920] we're both pretty on the record where we say we want spectacle and chaos and so
[56:36.920 -> 56:42.680] next week in the preview we will kind of set the rubric of what will make this a
[56:42.680 -> 56:45.840] good spectacle versus a bad spectacle what will make this a good spectacle versus a bad spectacle, what will mean
[56:45.840 -> 56:52.960] this is a success or a failure in F1's eyes, in our eyes as viewers and watchers, but I am hyped
[56:52.960 -> 57:03.280] for two weeks of glitz, glam, chaos, Vegasness all over F1. Bring on the sequins and like potentially
[57:03.280 -> 57:06.120] one of the biggest gossip grids that I've
[57:06.120 -> 57:07.760] been anticipating all year.
[57:07.760 -> 57:09.840] Welcome back to Yellow Sector Notes.
[57:09.840 -> 57:13.120] Not the fastest walk around F1 but we will complete a full lap around the paddock hitting
[57:13.120 -> 57:14.120] every F1 garage.
[57:14.120 -> 57:18.240] Starting with F1, they announced an extension for the Brazilian GP this weekend.
[57:18.240 -> 57:22.000] They are extended through 2030.
[57:22.000 -> 57:26.880] Patron is partnering with Sergio Perez again for another US-based Grand Prix ticket giveaway
[57:26.880 -> 57:27.880] for the biggest GP.
[57:27.880 -> 57:28.880] Make sure you enter.
[57:28.880 -> 57:34.720] Mission 44, Lewis Hamilton's non-profit, announced plans to enter Brazil, adding it to the list
[57:34.720 -> 57:37.840] of countries they plan on entering in the upcoming year.
[57:37.840 -> 57:42.600] They currently do work in Great Britain, but plan to expand to Brazil now, the US, and
[57:42.600 -> 57:45.960] South Africa all within the next year.
[57:45.960 -> 57:49.940] Ferrari is so obsessed with putting numbers on the stomach of their merch, this is now
[57:49.940 -> 57:52.320] becoming a trend I don't understand.
[57:52.320 -> 57:57.600] And if you haven't seen the Ferrari Vegas merch and the Ferrari USGP merch, just put
[57:57.600 -> 57:58.600] them side by side.
[57:58.600 -> 57:59.600] I don't get it.
[57:59.600 -> 58:01.280] I don't understand.
[58:01.280 -> 58:06.360] McLaren extended their partnership with sports clothing brand Mitchell & Ness with a line
[58:06.360 -> 58:09.780] of jersey inspired McLaren merch for the Vegas GP.
[58:09.780 -> 58:12.800] They did this last year for the US GP.
[58:12.800 -> 58:14.160] It was really sick last year.
[58:14.160 -> 58:16.040] It's really cool this year.
[58:16.040 -> 58:17.480] Ferrari take notes.
[58:17.480 -> 58:22.240] It was announced that Felipe Drogovic will remain as the Aston Martin Reserve driver
[58:22.240 -> 58:24.520] this upcoming year.
[58:24.520 -> 58:28.080] Williams sponsor Duracell is also doing a Vegas GP ticket giveaway,
[58:28.080 -> 58:30.680] so make sure to enter that one this week as well.
[58:30.680 -> 58:34.000] All right, cool story going on with AlphaTauri.
[58:34.000 -> 58:37.120] AlphaTauri announced a partnership with the Japanese franchise Gundam.
[58:37.120 -> 58:41.720] The impact of the Gundam franchise in Japan is often compared to the massive
[58:41.720 -> 58:44.800] cultural impact that Star Wars had here in America.
[58:44.800 -> 58:45.240] So it is a huge, huge brand. It has now expanded globally. often compared to the massive cultural impact that Star Wars had here in America.
[58:45.240 -> 58:47.280] So it is a huge, huge brand.
[58:47.280 -> 58:49.720] It has now expanded globally.
[58:49.720 -> 58:53.240] Big deal, this is a really big sponsorship deal that they're doing.
[58:53.240 -> 58:56.680] They're going to be doing pop-up stores around the track in Vegas, they're putting logos
[58:56.680 -> 58:58.480] on the car and other places.
[58:58.480 -> 59:03.560] Plus they made a custom AlphaTauri mech, which looks incredible.
[59:03.560 -> 59:05.640] Plus the promo that Yuki did for it was really cool.
[59:05.640 -> 59:11.320] So love seeing this. Doesn't get me as hyped as the Star Wars thing earlier in the show
[59:11.320 -> 59:15.600] but like I understand that it's on that level so it's really cool that this is happening
[59:15.600 -> 59:21.200] for the Vegas GP. Alright and some more serious news. Haas exercised its right to review this
[59:21.200 -> 59:25.440] week over the results of the USGP stating that track limits were not
[59:25.440 -> 59:31.920] equitably... that they basically said that more track limit penalties should have happened and
[59:31.920 -> 59:36.240] it wasn't equal across the board during the race. To which I say, duh, we all know that, but now we
[59:36.240 -> 59:41.040] get to wait and see if the FIA is too prideful or if they're willing to admit what we all already
[59:41.040 -> 59:48.480] know. Some timeline to this, they had the Wednesday, the day before you're listening to this,
[59:48.480 -> 59:54.720] they did the like hearing where everyone came and testified and then there's going to be an
[59:54.720 -> 01:00:00.080] additional date that is yet to be announced where they announce the results of said hearing.
[01:00:01.680 -> 01:00:05.000] Stay tuned, we'll keep you up to date.
[01:00:05.000 -> 01:00:07.000] That is the gridlock for November 9th, 2023 completed.
[01:00:07.000 -> 01:00:10.000] How's my sector time sitting, Nicole?
[01:00:10.000 -> 01:00:14.000] Faster than I got my 1989 cardigan.

[01:01:11.400 -> 01:01:15.800] felt like a cliffhanger that Brianna had to leave her book for and not the gridwalk.
[01:01:15.800 -> 01:01:18.800] It's airplane week, I gotta go read, bye!
[01:01:21.950 -> 01:01:23.950] You
