Double Fun or Double Dominance? 2023 Austrian Grand Prix

It's time for F1 Sprint and the Grand Prix at the Red Bull Racing this weekend. Yes, the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix will have 2 x Qualifying sessions and 2 x Races (okay, 1 and one-third, to be precise).

But will that lead to double fun or double dominance?

We're hosting a live race screening for Formula 1 fans in Mumbai.

Where: Dadar SOCIAL

When: 2nd July, 5.30 pm onward (IST)

Soumil Arora will host a pre-race interaction & F1 quiz for all attendees.

In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah wonder if Max Verstappen will extend his dominant streak to take two pole positions, two races and two fastest laps in Austria. Can anyone catch him?

The last time we had a Sprint + Grand Prix weekend, Charles Leclerc took pole (Baku, 2023). And the time before last (Brazil, 2022), George Russell won for Mercedes. We expect everyone to use and abuse this stat through the weekend.

In the mid-field, several teams will bring upgrades. But they will have lesser time to test them - just one Free Practice remember. Also, will the FIA bring about a rule change for using a 'new soft' in SQ3 on Saturday?

Also, it's Red Bull's home race - expect them to host some of the most-entertaining off-track activities. In fact, a jet pack operator will be present along with a legends parade.

Will Sergio Perez bounce back? Will Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton continue to battle for P2? And what about Ferrari...?

Tune in!

[00:00.000 -> 00:23.520] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the InsideLine F1 podcast.
[00:23.520 -> 00:27.440] This is our Austrian GP preview. My name is Somal Arora.
[00:27.440 -> 00:34.440] I am the host of the Indian Racing League broadcasts on Starsports and joining me as always the former marketing head of
[00:34.440 -> 00:39.640] that one team you used to remember from the mid 2010s, the Sahara Force India Formula One team.
[00:39.640 -> 00:43.540] He's the man who ran the Force India Academy and is now an FIA
[00:43.760 -> 00:45.360] accredited Formula 1 journalist
[00:45.360 -> 00:47.000] for the Viaplay Network in Norway.
[00:47.000 -> 00:50.200] Ladies and gentlemen, we have Kunal Shah with us.
[00:50.200 -> 00:53.100] And Kunal, the Austrian GP is finally here.
[00:53.100 -> 00:56.480] We have two qualifying and two races this time.
[00:56.480 -> 01:00.220] So the only real thing that I can think of this weekend is that we're just going to watch
[01:00.220 -> 01:04.920] Max qualify twice in P1 and win the race twice as well.
[01:04.920 -> 01:06.400] We were scared of his domination before.
[01:06.400 -> 01:07.800] This is just going to be new levels.
[01:08.300 -> 01:10.900] This is going to be absolutely new levels.
[01:12.500 -> 01:14.600] To me, you know, there's going to be this whole chat.
[01:15.300 -> 01:16.700] It's a sprint weekend.
[01:16.700 -> 01:20.200] The last time we had a non-Red Bull on pole,
[01:20.200 -> 01:21.900] it was a sprint weekend in Baku.
[01:21.900 -> 01:23.100] Yay, we have some hope.
[01:23.600 -> 01:24.400] Then there will be more.
[01:24.400 -> 01:29.360] Wait, wait, wait. Look like actually took pole position in Baku. Yay! We have some hope. Then there will be more. Wait, wait, wait. Look like he actually took pole position in Baku. My God. Did he
[01:29.360 -> 01:34.400] remember it? Also it's been a year since Ferrari last won and then
[01:34.400 -> 01:39.400] everything else has unfolded. Mattia, Frederick, Vasu, whatever. But I'm not done.
[01:39.400 -> 01:44.440] There is more hope that everybody in Formula One will keep driving us,
[01:44.440 -> 01:47.620] including us driving it in Formula One. What's the hope?
[01:47.620 -> 01:52.580] The last time Mercedes actually won a weekend was also a
[01:52.580 -> 01:56.040] sprint weekend in Brazil. You know, questions,
[01:56.260 -> 02:00.340] will Red Bull Racing get it wrong with just one free practice session
[02:00.340 -> 02:03.100] available for setup again? We'll keep driving that,
[02:03.140 -> 02:06.360] keep building hope till Max just gets polled two times a row,
[02:06.360 -> 02:10.480] race wins two times a row, fastest lap of the race, two times a row.
[02:10.800 -> 02:11.300] And,
[02:12.040 -> 02:15.800] Jaikku Perez has two chances to get it right in qualifying.
[02:16.240 -> 02:20.000] Wait, two chances to get it right or two chances to get it wrong?
[02:20.360 -> 02:22.880] Because the way things are going so far in the last three weekends,
[02:22.880 -> 02:27.160] it seems more of the latter. But you know what? Let's just start with Red Bull Racing.
[02:27.440 -> 02:32.600] Normally Kunal, on the Inside Line F1 podcast, at least since the mid part of 2022,
[02:32.600 -> 02:36.920] we've only been giving Red Bull Racing an average of a minute and a half on the podcast.
[02:36.920 -> 02:44.000] I think because this weekend we had Helmut Marko on the show and he gave us so many special insights and such a controversial...
[02:44.000 -> 02:45.440] Sorry, controversial,
[02:45.440 -> 02:47.120] I'm losing my English today. It's beautiful.
[02:47.120 -> 02:51.680] Such a controversial quote about Nick DeVries that has now been blown up all over the internet
[02:51.680 -> 02:58.400] by so many major news publications like The Race, Autosport, Racefans.net and so many others as well.
[02:58.400 -> 03:02.240] We should actually give Red Bull Racing instead of a minute and a half, I think two minutes.
[03:02.240 -> 03:04.720] They deserve it. We should give them more time.
[03:04.720 -> 03:08.640] I can also justify why two minutes. you know I'm also a marketer
[03:08.640 -> 03:14.280] at heart, what's the science behind two minutes. One minute is towards the time
[03:14.280 -> 03:18.740] that Max can finish ahead of everybody else if we have a dry race. We have two
[03:18.740 -> 03:22.220] races this week or one and a half, so we are like hey we'll probably if you add up
[03:22.220 -> 03:29.360] all the time that Max finishes ahead, it's probably gonna be two minutes but yes. Firstly thank you
[03:29.360 -> 03:34.600] very much for all of Formula One literally we've had like six to seven
[03:34.600 -> 03:39.840] million impressions of the Marco episode that we did. Some of the best media
[03:39.840 -> 03:46.100] houses reached out used all the courts promoted episode, we've had a blast. Yes, it was
[03:46.100 -> 03:51.320] unfortunately the Nick Dufry's quote that got, I would say, misunderstood or
[03:51.320 -> 03:56.240] misquoted or out of context because pretty much not everybody who consumed
[03:56.240 -> 04:00.000] you, I'm sure I know six million people haven't gone and heard the full episode
[04:00.000 -> 04:05.260] which I absolutely recommend you all to do so you get context. And what Marco did
[04:05.260 -> 04:08.560] was pretty simple. I mean you know you love Carlos Sainz, you always bet
[04:08.560 -> 04:12.760] on Carlos Sainz every time for a Grand Prix weekend. I don't. Don't expose me.
[04:12.760 -> 04:16.520] And I don't and that's what he and Christian Horner did with Nick DeVries
[04:16.520 -> 04:20.800] and hey guess what, everybody thinks it's unfair and you know Marco went crazy
[04:20.800 -> 04:25.520] whatever. But guys, girls, please go ahead and listen to the full episode.
[04:25.520 -> 04:31.360] They were such amazing insights, such lovely stories from history of Dietrich Matteschitz
[04:31.360 -> 04:36.480] and the Red Bull Junior Driver Program, discussions about Alexander Albin and the likes.
[04:37.200 -> 04:46.640] Yeah. So go ahead. Listen to the past episode. It was amazing. Honestly, it's not just a shameless cheap plug, but he revealed so much
[04:46.640 -> 04:52.960] about how he actually scouts drivers as well and also just essentially what he looks for in a junior
[04:52.960 -> 04:57.520] driver, which to me was amazing and the amount of insights that he shared about just how much
[04:57.520 -> 05:03.280] progress and how many updates they get on each and every single young driver, frankly to me,
[05:03.280 -> 05:09.240] is ridiculous. But also Kunal, we got to know more about what Helmut Marko does outside of a race weekend
[05:09.240 -> 05:10.240] as well.
[05:10.240 -> 05:16.060] We also got to know why Sebastian Vettel, maybe or maybe not, could be his next replacement
[05:16.060 -> 05:17.240] at the Red Bull Driver Academy.
[05:17.240 -> 05:21.540] He's revealed something big about this, about what he thinks about Sebastian's capabilities
[05:21.540 -> 05:26.600] and it might break a few hearts, but I think let's not break people's hearts any further.
[05:26.600 -> 05:29.560] Let's actually get to talking more about this race weekend,
[05:29.560 -> 05:31.800] because the hearts are already broken
[05:31.800 -> 05:33.560] in the case of Sergio Perez.
[05:33.560 -> 05:34.960] He must dread the format.
[05:34.960 -> 05:36.920] I know a minute ago, you mentioned a lot more
[05:36.920 -> 05:39.480] about Sergio potentially having the chance
[05:39.480 -> 05:41.600] to mess it up twice this weekend.
[05:41.600 -> 05:42.800] I mean, think of the pressure.
[05:42.800 -> 05:45.120] Max has won the last few races.
[05:45.120 -> 05:52.440] He's absolutely dominating it, swamping everyone with just a wave of great driving that nobody
[05:52.440 -> 05:56.440] else is able to keep up with. And then you have two opportunities where it's just going
[05:56.440 -> 06:02.080] to be measured up against him. If I was Checo Kunal, firstly, I wouldn't be in Formula One
[06:02.080 -> 06:09.360] because I wouldn't be half as fast or mentally strong. But if I was Checo, I'd be a little scared heading into this weekend, especially considering
[06:09.360 -> 06:11.800] how spotless Max's record is here.
[06:11.800 -> 06:18.400] Well, if I was Checo, I would be absolutely confident heading into this weekend.
[06:18.400 -> 06:19.400] And I'll tell you why.
[06:19.400 -> 06:21.000] I'll tell you why.
[06:21.000 -> 06:24.600] Helmet Marco, everybody thinks he's put Nick DeVries under the bus, whatever.
[06:24.600 -> 06:29.400] He's not, guys. let's not sensationalize it. But the way Marco came out in support of
[06:29.400 -> 06:33.580] Checo Perez, especially with you know Daniel Ricciardo doing a test and so on.
[06:33.580 -> 06:39.140] So why don't we just do this. We're gonna plug or re-plug what Marco said about
[06:39.140 -> 06:45.800] Perez and Ricciardo right after what I'm gonna finish saying now, which is, hey, I've just finished what I was saying.
[06:45.800 -> 06:48.960] So let's go ahead and hear Helmut and Marco.
[06:48.960 -> 06:53.680] First of all, Jaco is still second in the championship.
[06:53.680 -> 06:58.120] So the first goal is to defend this position.
[06:58.120 -> 07:08.000] And I'm sure if he's focusing on just achieving good results, that it will be a good,
[07:08.000 -> 07:11.400] a valid driver to let go racing.
[07:11.400 -> 07:14.600] With Ricciardo,
[07:14.600 -> 07:18.200] he will have a test in Silverstone
[07:18.200 -> 07:21.000] and from there we see where he is standing,
[07:21.000 -> 07:23.400] but that is nothing for immediately.
[07:23.400 -> 07:27.840] We have a contract with Jacob, which goes till the end of 24.
[07:27.840 -> 07:31.680] And of course we have to think what will happen after that.
[07:31.680 -> 07:38.400] And yeah if Ricciardo recovers, if it is the old Ricciardo which we knew,
[07:38.400 -> 07:42.160] you know, which was a very competitive driver.
[07:42.160 -> 07:46.340] I don't exactly know what happened at Renault and McLaren
[07:46.340 -> 07:52.880] especially why he lost the edge but of course we have to evaluate it but nothing
[07:52.880 -> 07:58.380] for the straightaway. I find it interesting Kunal because when talking
[07:58.380 -> 08:02.260] about Nick de Vries helmet was open in saying that yeah we are all slightly
[08:02.260 -> 08:07.320] disappointed I think we've been proven wrong. But with Sergio, when the chat came to Sergio,
[08:07.320 -> 08:09.320] as we all just listened to a minute ago,
[08:09.320 -> 08:10.840] he didn't say anything.
[08:10.840 -> 08:13.360] Even though, I mean, if you put it in the contextual sense,
[08:13.360 -> 08:15.560] in the last few races, Sergio's performances
[08:15.560 -> 08:18.720] haven't been just about as much better
[08:18.720 -> 08:20.000] as Nick De Vries' performances.
[08:20.000 -> 08:22.480] So I find it interesting what that dynamic is,
[08:22.480 -> 08:24.760] that Helmut is still protecting him a little bit.
[08:24.760 -> 08:26.960] But I'm also so excited to see that Sylvester in test.
[08:26.960 -> 08:31.840] But let's bring the matter back onto this weekend because I think internally we've all
[08:31.840 -> 08:35.560] reassured right that Max is going to win two races and qualify first twice.
[08:35.560 -> 08:36.560] I think that's clear.
[08:36.560 -> 08:37.560] Right?
[08:37.560 -> 08:38.560] I would guess so.
[08:38.560 -> 08:40.080] And why don't we do one thing?
[08:40.080 -> 08:42.240] Why don't we all just watch it together?
[08:42.240 -> 08:50.920] Ladies and gentlemen, Samuel Arora is hosting a live race screening, the Grand Prix mind you, not the sprint. Okay, he's
[08:50.920 -> 08:56.040] hosting a live race screening at the Dadar Social in Mumbai this Sunday and
[08:56.040 -> 09:02.280] he's also going to host a pre-race quiz, also gonna host interactions and trust
[09:02.280 -> 09:09.720] me, his interactions turn into heated debates where the only thing left is fans of rival teams and rival drivers
[09:09.720 -> 09:12.920] don't end up getting physical with each other and you know
[09:12.920 -> 09:15.720] the hooliganism as we've seen in football. I'm saying it in a lighter
[09:15.720 -> 09:20.240] note, I know hooliganism isn't welcome, shouldn't ever be so but yes, the other
[09:20.240 -> 09:27.280] social in Mumbai this weekend 5.30 p.30pm onwards. Be there. You can get your tickets
[09:27.280 -> 09:32.300] from the description of this episode. Oh, it's going to be fun. It's so amazing
[09:32.300 -> 09:37.420] to interact Formula One with all of our listeners and also many people who just randomly walk
[09:37.420 -> 09:42.040] in for the race and end up becoming again members of our inside line club as we like
[09:42.040 -> 09:47.960] to call it. It's so amazing because we get to hear everyone's opinions and best of all Kunal, watch a good
[09:47.960 -> 09:48.960] race together.
[09:48.960 -> 09:55.240] I stress upon this point because in the grander scheme of things, we might all look at Formula
[09:55.240 -> 09:58.440] 1 at the moment in time and be like, eh, boring.
[09:58.440 -> 10:02.560] But if you just exclude Max Verstappen, I know deep down we all want to do that because
[10:02.560 -> 10:05.000] he's making it very boring. He's too good.
[10:05.000 -> 10:06.000] He's just too good.
[10:06.000 -> 10:11.000] But if you exclude Max Verstappen for a second, just look at the juicy battle we have for
[10:11.000 -> 10:12.000] P2.
[10:12.000 -> 10:13.000] Think about it.
[10:13.000 -> 10:18.000] We're seeing Hamilton versus Russell versus Alonso versus Charles Leclerc.
[10:18.000 -> 10:21.480] And I'm deliberately not putting Lance Stoll and Carlos Sainz because they're just in a
[10:21.480 -> 10:24.560] battle to see who can disappoint each other more.
[10:24.560 -> 10:30.960] But that is just the truth. But that is so amazing, right? And last week in Canada as well,
[10:30.960 -> 10:35.920] we were just seeing a flat out battle, a reincarnation of the 2007 battle between
[10:35.920 -> 10:41.360] Hamilton and Alonzo. And it just never gets boring. So let's just assume that Max isn't
[10:41.360 -> 10:50.880] here because this weekend, we have an amazing three way fight for Formula 1.5. I'm ready to watch it. Yeah, it is actually down to there are two championships
[10:50.880 -> 10:56.400] running in in Formula 1. Formula 1 championship is just one contender which is Max Verstappen
[10:56.400 -> 11:01.600] which is what we keep talking about and you know it'll be a typical thing can Ferrari be in the
[11:01.600 -> 11:10.520] fight because of circuit characteristics. It'll rain, will Max still be challenged etc. And trust us guys, that's true.
[11:10.520 -> 11:14.440] There will be different weekends where there will be challenges. But we
[11:14.440 -> 11:18.800] don't know yet how much reserve Max and Red Bull have because we clearly believe
[11:18.800 -> 11:22.560] they've not been pushed to a level where they need to extract every possible
[11:22.560 -> 11:26.840] reserve. But let's look
[11:26.840 -> 11:29.360] and see how that goes. But I was saying there are two championships, first is
[11:29.360 -> 11:35.240] Formula 1.25 or Formula 1.5, however we put it to everybody else P2 to P10 in
[11:35.240 -> 11:40.280] the constructors championship. And then the second is a Formula 1 accounting
[11:40.280 -> 11:45.720] championship, because the FIA now has you know come up with some rules of how
[11:45.720 -> 11:51.040] ancillary businesses will be accounted, audited and suddenly from you know
[11:51.040 -> 11:55.360] having the best engineers in Formula One, F1 teams are now having the best
[11:55.360 -> 11:59.520] engineers and the best accountants in Formula One. Every you know like
[11:59.520 -> 12:03.360] Toto Bull said, every screw and nail and whatever has to be accounted for. So
[12:03.360 -> 12:09.240] let's see how that goes. But truthfully I am most excited about both the qualifying
[12:09.240 -> 12:14.560] sessions this weekend. And the reason I'm saying that is it's a short
[12:14.560 -> 12:18.960] circuit. We're gonna keep hearing that short circuit, three DRS zones, ten
[12:18.960 -> 12:22.800] corners out of which three are literally not corners, so seven corners and just
[12:22.800 -> 12:26.440] two of them turn left. You know, we're gonna keep hearing these facts, which is true. It's a lovely
[12:26.440 -> 12:31.720] circuit, elevation changes. I am eager to see two things. How close will the pole
[12:31.720 -> 12:38.680] position margin be? I think last year was 0.029 and I remember because 29 was my
[12:38.680 -> 12:48.000] birth date. 29 also comes, you know, 11 times a year, depending what year it is.
[12:48.000 -> 12:49.000] Anyway, yeah.
[12:49.000 -> 12:56.360] Also, the gap between P1 and P20 in Q1, we're going to have two Q1s, so one Q1, one SQ1.
[12:56.360 -> 12:58.480] What's that gap going to eventually be?
[12:58.480 -> 13:03.440] So I'm really excited about qualifying and there will be traffic, there will be track
[13:03.440 -> 13:06.080] limits, this circuit will be spoken about.
[13:06.080 -> 13:12.640] But Samuel, which is your favorite corner around this circuit? Osterreich Ring, A1 Ring, now
[13:12.640 -> 13:20.320] Red Bull Ring. My favorite corner is what MotoGP calls Turn 2, which is basically just a corner
[13:20.320 -> 13:25.120] where you keep your steering wheel straight and brake for the next turn. It's such an amazing
[13:25.120 -> 13:30.560] corner. You know what Kunal, it requires such great skill. You need to be absolutely on the limit
[13:30.560 -> 13:34.800] to be making sure that your car goes as fast as possible over there. And sometimes,
[13:34.800 -> 13:40.560] some drivers can't even do that. Because remember in 2021, was it? That George Russell actually went
[13:40.560 -> 13:47.920] off the track at that very turn 2 section because he was watching someone else battle in front of him and that can also potentially happen in Austria as
[13:47.920 -> 13:51.900] well but I want to touch up upon qualifying here for a second because
[13:51.900 -> 13:56.540] you're so right Kunal all these teams are so close to each other in qualifying
[13:56.540 -> 13:59.700] we're going to see Max also potentially challenged and when you mentioned
[13:59.700 -> 14:02.860] short-circuit I know all the commentators will say this as well but
[14:02.860 -> 14:07.240] it's true there's only like seven real corners where you can gain or lose time.
[14:07.520 -> 14:10.880] So how well do you have to nail all those corners? It's just frankly,
[14:11.160 -> 14:13.920] mind blowing to me, but also in the race as well.
[14:14.200 -> 14:17.200] Do you remember what happened last year in sprint qualifying or in the sprint
[14:17.200 -> 14:19.520] race here Kunal? Something very interesting happened last year.
[14:21.080 -> 14:23.640] Apart from a Ferrari messing up on Sunday,
[14:23.640 -> 14:25.760] but on Saturday there was something very fun.
[14:25.760 -> 14:26.760] Which?
[14:26.760 -> 14:31.560] Was it something to do with, oh yeah, I think, was it something to do with Mick Schumacher?
[14:31.560 -> 14:33.560] Yeah, it was.
[14:33.560 -> 14:34.560] Yeah, Mick Schumacher.
[14:34.560 -> 14:35.560] Lewis Hamilton.
[14:35.560 -> 14:36.560] Yeah, yeah, there we go.
[14:36.560 -> 14:37.560] Yeah, yeah.
[14:37.560 -> 14:40.400] Lewis Hamilton couldn't get past Mick Schumacher.
[14:40.400 -> 14:45.120] Even though we've got a ton of straights, this circuit is still hard to pass on because crucially,
[14:45.120 -> 14:50.720] turn one has that brutal sausage curb on the outside. Turn two is just, again, a good place
[14:50.720 -> 14:55.440] to pass. But if you do get, do get past someone at turn two, there's always turn three coming up
[14:55.440 -> 15:00.640] next where there is DRS. So it could backfire. So realistically, you've got to play this mental
[15:00.640 -> 15:05.360] mind game and this game of racing chess of sorts and that is going to be so much fun
[15:05.360 -> 15:11.200] because these new cars can follow but can you actually make a move because space especially
[15:11.200 -> 15:16.080] on the outside of turn three just ask Alex Albon is so tight. You know you're confusing people
[15:16.080 -> 15:20.560] because turn three is actually the right-hander on the top of the crest and Albon had it at turn
[15:20.560 -> 15:25.720] four. Turn two doesn't exist, turn two doesn't exist. It's just a straight corner.
[15:25.720 -> 15:28.660] It's only nine corners, it doesn't have ten corners. Whoever said it has ten
[15:28.660 -> 15:32.920] corners is blind. You mentioned sausage cups, you know everybody should know, our
[15:32.920 -> 15:37.220] listeners should know, these cars which generate a lot of downforce from the
[15:37.220 -> 15:47.440] underbody are actually vegan cars. They do not like sausages unless they are plant-based. I just actually let that slide Kunal.
[15:47.440 -> 15:51.680] Yeah, I'm just promoting being plant-based you know like Lewis Hamilton and myself.
[15:51.680 -> 15:58.240] The only thing we have in common is that. But on a serious note, you know
[15:58.240 -> 16:03.280] writing these curbs usually can damage floors, can compromise so could that. That
[16:03.280 -> 16:05.080] will be you know something
[16:05.080 -> 16:09.900] that people will sort of you know factor in but this circuit also you know Lance
[16:09.900 -> 16:15.240] Stroll for once actually turned out and said this circuit is of two distinct
[16:15.240 -> 16:19.520] halves the first half is full of straights all three DRS zones high-speed
[16:19.520 -> 16:22.800] straights with you know literally stop-and-go corners and then the second
[16:22.800 -> 16:27.880] half is fast and flowy corners and it's going to be an engineer's nightmare. That's what I'm
[16:27.880 -> 16:31.240] actually looking forward to but they did this last year so they will be smarter
[16:31.240 -> 16:35.480] this year because you have to find the set of compromise between the different
[16:35.480 -> 16:40.200] characteristics of you know the corners that this circuit has. And
[16:40.200 -> 16:46.440] interestingly 23 different winners have won here in the last 36 races.
[16:46.440 -> 16:47.760] So could it be a different winner?
[16:47.760 -> 16:48.840] Could it be Lance Stroll?
[16:48.840 -> 16:49.480] God knows.
[16:49.480 -> 16:50.000] Who knows?
[16:50.560 -> 16:56.000] There are 404 points available in the Drivers' Championship leading up to this
[16:56.000 -> 17:01.120] weekend, but there are 34 points that Max Verstappen or whoever else can score a
[17:01.120 -> 17:03.560] maximum, uh, you know, points.
[17:03.560 -> 17:05.920] That's 8%, almost 8% of points that can be,
[17:05.920 -> 17:11.680] you know, scored this weekend off that 4-0-4. And last three races have been won by three
[17:11.680 -> 17:15.520] different drivers. So lots of hope going into this weekend.
[17:16.240 -> 17:22.400] Lots of it. So much of it on the upgrades as well, Kunal, because a lot of teams like McLaren,
[17:22.400 -> 17:27.720] like Mercedes, Ferrari as well, bringing it. I think not Ferrari really, but as far as I know,
[17:27.720 -> 17:29.640] McLaren are bringing in a big upgrade.
[17:29.640 -> 17:31.960] Haas are basically using this race
[17:31.960 -> 17:34.760] as a test session of sorts to try out their new upgrade,
[17:34.760 -> 17:36.280] which could solve their tire wear.
[17:36.280 -> 17:38.760] There's also Mercedes bringing in something as well.
[17:38.760 -> 17:42.280] Lots of teams, naturally, this being another European race
[17:42.280 -> 17:44.960] that they don't have to fly to, bringing in so many parts.
[17:44.960 -> 17:45.120] But the fun part is, upgrades may not always be upgrades. And naturally, this being another European race that they don't have to fly to, bringing in so many paths.
[17:45.120 -> 17:49.140] But the fun part is, upgrades may not always be upgrades.
[17:49.140 -> 17:53.220] And so there may be a lot of hope from some teams, but then they may just not perform
[17:53.220 -> 17:56.100] because not every single upgrade can deliver.
[17:56.100 -> 17:57.460] Because it's all theoretical, right?
[17:57.460 -> 18:01.280] And they couldn't really predict paupers, so you can't really properly predict the effect
[18:01.280 -> 18:02.280] of every upgrade.
[18:02.280 -> 18:05.120] So the whole mixing up of the field, just to what
[18:05.120 -> 18:09.280] degree that happens will be interesting to say the least. I wonder where Alpine will be though.
[18:10.720 -> 18:16.320] Alpine will want to show a great performance given that they've just announced new funding. But yeah,
[18:16.320 -> 18:19.680] you're right, upgrades could, you know, it means you're visually upgrading the car,
[18:19.680 -> 18:24.560] but could that be downgrading in terms of performance? And interestingly, you know,
[18:24.560 -> 18:25.600] we've reached a stage
[18:25.600 -> 18:26.920] where teams are bringing upgrades,
[18:26.920 -> 18:28.280] even to races like Monaco,
[18:28.280 -> 18:29.440] where you can't really test them.
[18:29.440 -> 18:30.840] And then to races in Austria,
[18:30.840 -> 18:32.680] where you literally have no time to test them.
[18:32.680 -> 18:34.240] Like Fernando Alonso, he said, you know,
[18:34.240 -> 18:36.160] we had upgrades in Canada,
[18:36.160 -> 18:37.840] but in a race like Austria,
[18:37.840 -> 18:39.480] where you just have one free practice session,
[18:39.480 -> 18:41.000] they may not have enough track time
[18:41.000 -> 18:43.120] to actually explore setup options
[18:43.120 -> 18:44.600] and sort of fine tune their setup.
[18:44.600 -> 18:47.780] So that in itself is the challenge and frankly that's the
[18:47.780 -> 18:50.820] challenge I would love for Formula One teams to have all weekend. But yeah
[18:50.820 -> 18:55.540] there's gonna be a lot of action on track and off track there is a jetpack
[18:55.540 -> 19:00.400] operator who's also gonna be practicing his setup on the Friday evening so just
[19:00.400 -> 19:07.640] keep that in mind. Interesting. I will love to see how Red Bull activate this weekend.
[19:07.640 -> 19:11.440] You know, it's their home race, 101st race win could happen, etc, etc.
[19:11.800 -> 19:14.960] And they usually bring a lot of entertainment as well, the off-track
[19:14.960 -> 19:17.720] entertainment, but yes, let's go back to upgrades.
[19:17.720 -> 19:21.040] I think Alpine made a lot of headlines.
[19:21.040 -> 19:24.400] They've been valued at $900 million thereabouts.
[19:24.640 -> 19:29.640] They have a 200 million euro investment. One of it, some of it coming from Michael
[19:29.640 -> 19:35.640] Jordan and a dude named Ryan Reynolds or Reynolds. No no no no no no Michael B
[19:35.640 -> 19:38.960] Jordan. There's a difference. It's not the same one. It's not the same one. Okay
[19:38.960 -> 19:53.520] there you go. I'm glad it's not my name that I couldn't have paid that kind of money. No, but the fun fact is, it's so similar to that quote that Ryan Reynolds made in Deadpool,
[19:53.520 -> 19:56.760] the situation at Alpine, where he said, you know what we need to do?
[19:56.760 -> 19:58.420] We need to build an effing team.
[19:58.420 -> 20:02.840] We need them tough, morally flexible and young enough so that they can carry this franchise
[20:02.840 -> 20:03.840] to 10 to 12 years.
[20:03.840 -> 20:08.800] I think at the moment, Alpine are just carrying forward to 10 to 10, 10 to 12 years
[20:08.800 -> 20:10.520] of mediocrity at the moment.
[20:10.520 -> 20:15.200] So it's just interesting that people will pay anything for a Formula One team at the
[20:15.200 -> 20:16.200] moment in time.
[20:16.200 -> 20:20.800] It just shows you all the hype because now they're no longer a proper, I mean, factory
[20:20.800 -> 20:21.800] factory team.
[20:21.800 -> 20:28.080] You know what Kunal, because Renault, the parent company only owns the engine department of that team and I wonder how much stake they'll want
[20:28.080 -> 20:31.840] to keep in it as well since they're the only sole customers so it's interesting
[20:31.840 -> 20:35.640] it's interesting Deadpool in Formula One I wonder if we get to see like a
[20:35.640 -> 20:39.920] documentary like Wrexham though where we now suddenly finally see people
[20:39.920 -> 20:44.440] exploring the story of Alpine from the inside watching how Alpine has 15
[20:44.440 -> 20:46.240] different heads managing the same team.
[20:46.720 -> 20:50.480] And for all you know, people might actually become Alpine fans Kunal.
[20:50.800 -> 20:53.520] Do you think that'll, have you ever met an Alpine fan in real life?
[20:54.000 -> 20:56.080] Not after Fernando Alonso left, no.
[20:57.000 -> 20:59.240] They were not Alpine fans really. They were just unfaithful.
[20:59.240 -> 21:03.080] But have you ever met an Alpine fan in your life or even a Renault fan in the
[21:03.080 -> 21:09.920] new guys, not 2005-06. No, that's true. Have you ever met an Alpine fan in your life or even a Renault fan in the new guys not 2005-06. No, that's true. Have you ever met an Alpine fan? It's so strange. Yeah, now this was one way of doing it.
[21:09.920 -> 21:14.880] We will buy fans by actually getting a you know a Hollywood superstar, a
[21:14.880 -> 21:20.400] list buyer into the team. But could this lead to a battle between the superheroes?
[21:20.400 -> 21:30.000] Will all the other superheroes land up saying, ah we need to go get a team in Formula One. We have Iron Man, Tony Stark right? Could it be Bruce Wayne?
[21:30.000 -> 21:35.600] Could it be I don't know Bane? Could it be Bruce Wayne? Batman come on.
[21:35.600 -> 21:41.320] Well Batman buying a team and saying let's call this car the
[21:41.320 -> 21:45.280] official Batmobile. Crap! Anyway we have lots to look forward to in Austria
[21:49.040 -> 21:49.120] You know what though? You know what? That's a good idea though
[21:54.160 -> 21:54.560] I I would pay for a mysterious investor from Kazakhstan to just name themselves batman because they can
[22:00.080 -> 22:05.800] Because then when they buy in the team, uh, it's gonna be lovely but uh, I find it amazing I really think that they might just try a documentary of sorts for the team like they have with Rexum FC.
[22:05.800 -> 22:11.000] It'll be a fun way to mobilize the fans and I really think they're on to something in the marketing side of things.
[22:11.200 -> 22:14.340] Yeah, I just wonder. But hey, you know what the fun fact is Kunal?
[22:14.680 -> 22:21.000] Are you good with your childhood racing movies like movies for children? Have you seen cars? No.
[22:22.640 -> 22:24.820] Have you seen planes?
[22:27.680 -> 22:32.080] cars? No. Have you seen planes? You know I live a very interesting life Somil, the only time the TV has ever ever come on ever since I can remember is Formula One
[22:32.080 -> 22:36.280] Grand Prix weekends. Okay but you surely might have seen Turbo right, the movie
[22:36.280 -> 22:40.160] where the snail ends up winning the Indy 500? No but I have seen Driven which was
[22:40.160 -> 22:48.760] pretty much the most pathetic movie ever with Silver Stirling. Don't slander Driven Kunal, it is the movie that my entire racing childhood was
[22:48.760 -> 22:51.840] based upon. Do you remember Sylvester Stallone driving in the streets of
[22:51.840 -> 22:56.760] was it Chicago without a helmet? But no, to the point, Turbo, the voice of Turbo at
[22:56.760 -> 23:01.760] least has bought a Formula One team. It's amazing. Ryan Reynolds. Yeah. It's life
[23:01.760 -> 23:09.480] coming full circle. It's imagine if there wasn't hybrid turbo
[23:09.480 -> 23:19.880] would turbo still have bought the... It's not just the manufacturers who are
[23:19.880 -> 23:25.640] interested in these regulations as we can see now. Interesting stuff. But you know what?
[23:25.640 -> 23:28.020] I think it's that time where we should return to the most
[23:28.020 -> 23:30.760] serious stuff and get to the proper action
[23:30.760 -> 23:31.760] for this Austrian GP.
[23:31.760 -> 23:35.240] Because now, folks, we have F1 Stats Guru coming in
[23:35.240 -> 23:36.560] with the stats preview.
[23:36.560 -> 23:39.000] And Kunal mentioned a few really fun numbers
[23:39.000 -> 23:40.520] early on a couple of minutes ago.
[23:40.520 -> 23:42.360] Well, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
[23:42.360 -> 23:44.200] F1 Stats Guru has a lot more that
[23:44.200 -> 23:48.480] will basically enhance the whole viewing experience of this race. So let's listen into it.
[23:48.480 -> 23:53.000] Hey folks, it's time to do the stats preview of the Austrian Grand Prix. My name is Sundaram,
[23:53.000 -> 23:57.480] also known as the F1 Stats Guru. Let's get straight into the numbers. Now,
[23:57.480 -> 24:01.800] the Red Bull Ring is a very exciting circuit. It's the fifth shortest circuit on the calendar,
[24:01.800 -> 24:09.240] but it has the least number of corners, just 10, and also has the quickest overall lap time, just 63 seconds.
[24:09.240 -> 24:14.700] That means cars are usually bunched up together, especially in qualifying, and the pole margin
[24:14.700 -> 24:17.880] is very minimal, usually less than two tenths.
[24:17.880 -> 24:21.120] But this is the Red Bull Ring, and it is Red Bull's home race.
[24:21.120 -> 24:24.960] So all of the stats today are only going to be about Red Bull because that's where all
[24:24.960 -> 24:27.320] the interesting stuff has been happening. It's going to be a sprint
[24:27.320 -> 24:32.000] weekend and Max Verstappen and Red Bull are the only ones to have scored in every single
[24:32.000 -> 24:36.520] F1 sprint event so far and it's going to be interesting to see if they can continue that
[24:36.520 -> 24:41.080] streak. The sprint is going to be 24 laps long and as you already know, this year the
[24:41.080 -> 24:45.640] DRS zone gets activated just one lap into the sprint as well. So that means
[24:45.640 -> 24:51.360] drivers are expected to utilize the DRS zone up to 69 times during the course of the 24
[24:51.360 -> 24:55.660] lap sprint, which is the highest that we've seen at any sprint event. And the other interesting
[24:55.660 -> 25:01.500] fact is 80% of the overtakes at the Red Bull Ring happen at the DRS zones. So you'd probably
[25:01.500 -> 25:05.640] expect to see a lot of overtakes during the sprint as well as in the race,
[25:05.640 -> 25:10.280] but it's not as easy as it seems because although we have three fast and long straights, it
[25:10.280 -> 25:14.920] usually ends with a slow corner, so overtaking can get a little tricky at times.
[25:14.920 -> 25:18.840] If Max Verstappen claims pole, it'll be the first time in his career that he's taken four
[25:18.840 -> 25:24.040] pole positions at the same circuit, and it'll also mean that Red Bull have taken five consecutive
[25:24.040 -> 25:25.080] pole positions
[25:25.080 -> 25:27.960] in the hybrid era for the very first time.
[25:27.960 -> 25:32.440] But the biggest stat everyone's been talking about is that Max Verstappen has led the last
[25:32.440 -> 25:38.360] 224 Grand Prix laps consecutively. And he's very, very close to breaking the all-time
[25:38.360 -> 25:42.840] record. And to do that, all he has to do is lead all the laps of the Austrian Grand Prix,
[25:42.840 -> 25:45.520] 71 of those, and the first 11 laps of
[25:45.520 -> 25:51.140] the British Grand Prix. Then, he'll break Alberto Ascari's long-standing, 71-year-long
[25:51.140 -> 25:55.240] record of 305 successive laps in the lead.
[25:55.240 -> 25:58.840] If Red Bull can also win this race, they'll become the fourth team to take 10 or more
[25:58.840 -> 26:03.580] successive wins in Formula 1, after McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes.
[26:03.580 -> 26:06.560] But my favourite stat of this preview is that in the last
[26:06.560 -> 26:12.080] three years, a Red Bull driver has ended up in the gravel at turn 4 after making contact with a
[26:12.080 -> 26:18.080] Mercedes-powered car every single time. In 2020, it was Alex Albon. In 2021, it was Sergio Perez.
[26:18.080 -> 26:23.920] And once again, it was Perez in 2022. Will that happen this time out again? Who's going to be the
[26:23.920 -> 26:29.200] Mercedes driver? Who's going to be the Red Bull driver? We don't know. We have to wait and watch. But that was the stats
[26:29.200 -> 26:33.440] preview. I hope you folks enjoyed this one. For more such interesting stats and facts from this
[26:33.440 -> 26:38.160] race weekend, do follow me on my Twitter and Instagram under the name F1StatsGuru. I'll see
[26:38.160 -> 26:45.640] you folks very soon. Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the InsideLineF1 podcast and our Austrian GP preview.
[26:45.640 -> 26:48.680] We have bantered a lot on Red Bull Racing.
[26:48.680 -> 26:52.400] We have bantered a lot on Max Verstappen just dominating everywhere.
[26:52.400 -> 26:58.520] But I think let's just spend a couple of more minutes Kunal to talk about the lower midfield.
[26:58.520 -> 27:01.440] Because we're getting to see a bit of a fun battle there as well.
[27:01.440 -> 27:04.280] Obviously lots of long straights which would be great for Williams.
[27:04.280 -> 27:07.240] The catch is, as you mentioned in the second half of the circuit we
[27:07.240 -> 27:10.680] have lots of high downforce corners so that little quirk is gonna be very
[27:10.680 -> 27:14.420] interesting to watch as well. How close are the gaps in the midfield and what
[27:14.420 -> 27:19.120] can someone like Nick DeVries do who's especially under pressure after all the
[27:19.120 -> 27:22.100] course that have recently come out and they've been blown up basically. Yeah
[27:22.100 -> 27:31.440] well all he has to do is go he's got two chances to qualify and to finish the race in a decent pace. So let's just see how it goes but I pretty much
[27:31.440 -> 27:37.200] presume that thanks to our interview and all the sensational media quotes that have been picked up
[27:37.200 -> 27:41.600] one of the talking points this weekend for Horner and for Nick DeVries will be around
[27:43.840 -> 27:45.560] for Nick DeVries will be around Nick DeVries. That's what it's gonna be like.
[27:45.560 -> 27:48.380] And, you know, let's see.
[27:48.380 -> 27:50.880] But I predict Sommel.
[27:50.880 -> 27:53.940] You know, I'm good at finding trends.
[27:53.940 -> 27:56.100] Two races ago, Gasly blocked Sainz.
[27:56.100 -> 27:59.960] In Canada, Sainz got blocked by Gasly.
[27:59.960 -> 28:03.960] I wonder if it's Gasly's turn again to block somebody
[28:03.960 -> 28:06.920] because he's again got two chances
[28:06.920 -> 28:10.480] this weekend to block because there's Q1 and SQ1.
[28:10.480 -> 28:14.080] Track limits, it's going to be, you know, the last time this race happened last year,
[28:14.080 -> 28:18.120] we actually called it the track limits Austrian Grand Prix.
[28:18.120 -> 28:20.160] Track limits is going to be something we look at.
[28:20.160 -> 28:25.400] But Fernando Alonso, he said he never wants to be off the podium and he's got
[28:25.400 -> 28:28.600] back he went back into the podium in Canada but interestingly he's never
[28:28.600 -> 28:35.000] finished in the top four in Austria. So let's see what he comes up with and
[28:35.000 -> 28:39.040] Carlos Sainz who you will pick for victory this weekend Samuel hasn't had a
[28:39.040 -> 28:44.880] podium this weekend, this season. Please don't disappoint me like that it's it
[28:44.880 -> 28:45.580] was meant to be my
[28:45.580 -> 28:50.540] secret prediction. I thought very slyly nobody stopped noticing. Nobody started
[28:50.540 -> 28:54.260] to notice it at the start of this year. But no, I still put my money on Carlos
[28:54.260 -> 28:59.100] Saenz every single time. But I think you're right, track limits is going to be
[28:59.100 -> 29:02.980] the major prediction. At least three to four drivers will be getting quite a few
[29:02.980 -> 29:11.680] warnings on that. But for the win there's no doubt for P2 Kunal, I am going for Lewis Hamilton. What about you?
[29:11.680 -> 29:16.720] I will go for Fernando Alonso. I think…
[29:16.720 -> 29:17.720] Love it.
[29:17.720 -> 29:18.720] Epic.
[29:18.720 -> 29:19.720] Love it.
[29:19.720 -> 29:23.960] I have a feeling. Verstappen, Alonso, Hamilton on the podium. I don't know where the other
[29:23.960 -> 29:26.640] two will stand, but that's probably going to be the podium.
[29:26.640 -> 29:33.440] Will that podium be the most frequent podium finish of the season?
[29:33.440 -> 29:35.200] Could that be something that could come out?
[29:35.840 -> 29:37.600] And Red Bull, they'll go for what?
[29:37.600 -> 29:39.760] Their ninth win this season?
[29:39.760 -> 29:40.400] I can't remember.
[29:40.400 -> 29:41.520] I've lost count of the numbers.
[29:41.520 -> 29:47.040] They're inching in on McLaren's win record know, win record from 88, 89 or something.
[29:47.040 -> 29:49.120] But yeah, lots of things to look forward to.
[29:49.120 -> 29:53.840] I'm eager to see if the three drivers
[29:53.840 -> 29:56.400] who never made it into Q1 actually make it into Q1.
[29:56.400 -> 29:58.880] Joe Guan Yu, Nick DeFries, and Logan Sargent.
[29:58.880 -> 30:01.520] And then there are two drivers, Sargent and DeFries,
[30:01.520 -> 30:02.520] who have not scored a point.
[30:02.520 -> 30:04.200] So let's see how that goes.
[30:04.200 -> 30:10.480] But before we go, you remember the cool down room conversation that happened in
[30:10.480 -> 30:15.200] Canada, Lewis is telling you have a nice rear and then Fernando says who mine
[30:15.200 -> 30:20.760] whatever and Valtteri Bottas felt left out of that whole rear-ending
[30:20.760 -> 30:33.140] conversation. So guess what did he do? He did a midsummer picture of his rear in Finland and he put it up on social media. Well that's a
[30:33.140 -> 30:42.740] happy ending if there ever was one. I literally know people who get really, what's the
[30:42.740 -> 30:47.680] right word I'm looking for? I can't say happy or excited because both of them will have a pretty different connotation
[30:48.080 -> 30:52.000] But people who enjoy Valtteri Bottas backside picks, I don't know for what reason
[30:52.000 -> 30:56.360] It's it's just a quirk of Formula 1 I suppose just prepping for drive to survive before it comes out
[30:56.520 -> 31:01.960] But let's hope we get a great race this weekend for all the factors that we mentioned earlier on in this episode
[31:01.960 -> 31:11.760] And and and and since you're on Bottas, Botas has the fastest lap time here 62 seconds 62.8 or 9 or something. I wonder if we
[31:11.760 -> 31:16.040] will ever get here with a sub one minute like of course the cars have to go
[31:16.040 -> 31:19.800] really quick for that but the cars have been going quicker. One place where I
[31:19.800 -> 31:24.000] wish there wasn't rain this weekend like just see how close they could get there
[31:24.000 -> 31:28.640] but either way I'll take whatever it comes our way as long as it's entertaining there are battle for positions
[31:29.440 -> 31:35.840] and yes like I said everybody listening in from Mumbai can watch the race with Somil this Sunday
[31:35.840 -> 31:40.640] at Dattar Social. It'll be amazing there's going to be a big community discussion that we'd love
[31:40.640 -> 31:46.360] to have you for and also in case you're looking for something to listen to or watch in the meantime,
[31:46.360 -> 31:48.840] remember, our Helmut Marko special interview

[31:51.680 -> 31:53.080] And in case you've gotten here, I
