[01:04.200 -> 01:05.200] No. That's a statement online. Did you look in the mirror? No.
[01:05.200 -> 01:06.200] That's an intro clip.
[01:06.200 -> 01:07.200] Well, I mean, that's a horrible thing to say.
[01:07.200 -> 01:27.360] Ladies and gents, boys and girls, welcome back to the Pitstop Podcast once again.
[01:27.360 -> 01:30.320] That is a wrap on the Canadian Grand Prix.
[01:30.320 -> 01:33.200] That is 100 race wins for Red Bull.
[01:33.200 -> 01:35.000] Whoa!
[01:35.000 -> 01:37.240] Well done, Max Verstappen.
[01:37.240 -> 01:40.240] That's also 41 race wins for Max Verstappen,
[01:40.240 -> 01:42.640] which equals Ayrton Senna's record.
[01:42.640 -> 01:44.560] That's a very good record to equal.
[01:44.560 -> 01:45.740] It is a very good record now,
[01:45.740 -> 01:47.340] and the only way is up from there, really.
[01:47.340 -> 01:49.160] Well, yeah, and Max also has led
[01:49.160 -> 01:50.740] for a lot of laps in a row.
[01:50.740 -> 01:52.980] What's Lewis got, over 100 race wins now?
[01:52.980 -> 01:56.540] He had 103, and he hasn't won in a while,
[01:56.540 -> 01:57.980] so I reckon it's still 103.
[01:57.980 -> 01:59.660] Still around 103.
[01:59.660 -> 02:04.660] So Lewis has more wins than the whole of Red Bull.
[02:04.740 -> 02:07.000] Red Bull got their 100th race win today.
[02:07.000 -> 02:10.440] Lewis Hamilton will have more wins
[02:10.440 -> 02:12.440] than the whole of the rest of the grid,
[02:12.440 -> 02:14.720] current grid put together right now.
[02:14.720 -> 02:16.240] Yeah. Fact?
[02:16.240 -> 02:17.920] No, I don't know. I feel it.
[02:17.920 -> 02:19.720] I don't know, because you got to think,
[02:19.720 -> 02:22.200] Alonso will have a fair few.
[02:22.200 -> 02:24.680] How many wins do you reckon Alonso has straight off the bat?
[02:24.680 -> 02:27.120] I don't know, less races back in the day,
[02:27.120 -> 02:29.280] didn't win as many championships.
[02:29.280 -> 02:30.960] I'm gonna Google it right now and take a guess.
[02:30.960 -> 02:33.200] I'm gonna say 32.
[02:33.200 -> 02:34.880] I was gonna say like 23, but.
[02:34.880 -> 02:37.800] Fernando Alonso.
[02:37.800 -> 02:39.720] Sergio Perez with the fastest lap,
[02:39.720 -> 02:40.960] which meant Verstappen didn't get
[02:40.960 -> 02:42.880] his third consecutive Grand Slam,
[02:42.880 -> 02:44.040] which is a bit of a shame, but.
[02:44.040 -> 02:47.200] Oh, oh, oh, how many did I say? 30. No, I said 32, didn't get his third consecutive Grand Slam which is a bit of a shame. Oh, oh, oh! How many did I say?
[02:47.200 -> 02:47.700] 30.
[02:47.700 -> 02:49.360] Oh no, I said 32, didn't I?
[02:49.360 -> 02:49.860] 32.
[02:50.560 -> 02:56.240] After 18 seasons and over 300 Grand Prix's, Fernando Alonso's record is 32 wins.
[02:56.240 -> 02:59.440] Wow, someone's been googling in his bedroom again.
[02:59.440 -> 03:00.640] I swear I did not.
[03:00.640 -> 03:04.560] Sergio Perez with the fastest lap, Alonso back on the podium like he said, mate.
[03:04.560 -> 03:09.260] A round of applause. Round of applause for Fernando Al of applause round of applause to give the guy some credit when he says something
[03:09.260 -> 03:10.940] All right, you just need to believe it
[03:10.940 -> 03:16.560] Mmm, you just need to like I look into his eyes and there's sometimes are there's a slight whisk of doubt
[03:16.560 -> 03:21.280] And then I just think now I should never I should never have doubted him. You should never doubt Alonso
[03:21.280 -> 03:25.160] He said podium for us this season and I like people that follow through with what they say
[03:25.160 -> 03:30.600] Oh, yeah, and he's followed through today and we actually saw at the end of the race really interesting bit
[03:30.640 -> 03:35.080] They radioed as Alonso had finished the race and said, oh, that's the best we could do
[03:35.080 -> 03:36.320] We had a problem with the car today
[03:36.320 -> 03:42.080] They hadn't told Alonso whilst he was racing and then Alonso radioed back and said, ah, yeah, I knew about it
[03:42.080 -> 03:45.040] I didn't want to tell you guys. So Alonso felt it in
[03:45.040 -> 03:49.260] the car. What a boss. I knew there was a problem. That's why he was doing so much lifting and
[03:49.260 -> 03:53.280] coasting. Yeah and I didn't know what lifting and coasting meant until you perfectly explained
[03:53.280 -> 03:56.200] so do you want to repeat what you told me? Did I explain it to you? Yeah you perfectly
[03:56.200 -> 04:00.760] did. Lift, I think it was Crofty on the TV but I know what it means. You sound so similar.
[04:00.760 -> 04:04.920] Lifting and coasting, you lift off the accelerator before the turn, before you have to start
[04:04.920 -> 04:05.300] braking, you coast the car a little bit, you lift off the accelerator before the turn, before you have to start braking,
[04:05.300 -> 04:06.880] you coast the car a little bit.
[04:06.880 -> 04:09.980] You just let the car gradually bring itself down
[04:09.980 -> 04:12.700] before you brake to save the tires, to save the brakes.
[04:12.700 -> 04:14.340] You do that in the Gulf every now and again.
[04:14.340 -> 04:15.180] I don't.
[04:15.180 -> 04:16.900] That's why I failed the MOT
[04:16.900 -> 04:19.260] and had to pay 1200 quid to get it fixed.
[04:19.260 -> 04:23.900] Anyway, Alex Albert, driver of the day.
[04:23.900 -> 04:26.680] And I want to say, probably driver of the weekend
[04:26.680 -> 04:28.260] because that Q2 performance,
[04:28.260 -> 04:30.840] the strategy there was impeccable.
[04:30.840 -> 04:32.360] Well, yeah, it was good.
[04:32.360 -> 04:34.160] It was a good call from Alex.
[04:34.160 -> 04:37.160] I'm gonna, I don't want to put a B in your bonnet,
[04:37.160 -> 04:39.120] but I am going to call you up on this
[04:39.120 -> 04:40.400] because I did just think about it.
[04:40.400 -> 04:42.840] Why are you calling me out three minutes into the play?
[04:42.840 -> 04:48.000] It's good to see a Williams do all right, okay? Seventh for the Williams, driver of the day for Albon. He
[04:48.000 -> 04:54.080] started in 10th, so he comes up three places. Yep. Right? Realistically, why has Charles
[04:54.080 -> 05:00.880] Leclerc not got driver of the day? He's finished fourth and started 11th. Ferrari strategy.
[05:00.880 -> 05:09.400] They should get team of the day. Yeah, today for one absolutely impeccable for the fucking first time this year Ferrari
[05:09.400 -> 05:12.840] have absolutely nailed the strategy you know it's good news when Matt EP ones
[05:12.840 -> 05:17.480] even tweeting about it I reckon the saw has got a hotel room next to Ruth
[05:17.480 -> 05:20.560] Boscombe and he's been listening through the walls because it's the only way he
[05:20.560 -> 05:33.200] would have such a good strategy well Ruth Buscombe had a bit of a decent strategy today because Valtteri Bottas came in. He gave 10!
[05:33.200 -> 05:36.440] Do you know why I think they done well? Because this was the first weekend I haven't
[05:36.440 -> 05:41.080] predicted laps for Alfa Romeo. So they didn't listen to a thing you said. Yeah so I think me
[05:41.080 -> 05:46.800] shoving my oar in and getting my nose involved with Alfa Romeo is good. Maybe just stick to what you're good at, which is drums.
[05:46.800 -> 05:48.800] Not a lot, actually. I'm not even good at those.
[05:48.800 -> 05:54.800] I actually loved seeing Valtteri. I said to you, didn't I, halfway, this feels like the first race this year, I've watched Valtteri.
[05:54.800 -> 06:03.800] You don't normally see him, or they don't normally show as much of the back of the pack, and he hasn't been up there, but there was a few overtakes today, a few long moves from Valtteri.
[06:03.800 -> 06:08.600] A lot of cars, which you don't't normally see were doing some decent moves today.
[06:08.600 -> 06:12.280] It proved today that the Williams is fast in a straight line, just dog shit through
[06:12.280 -> 06:14.440] the corners, which is a shame.
[06:14.440 -> 06:18.040] Hulkenberg did a nice job of holding up the whole pack for about 30 laps.
[06:18.040 -> 06:19.040] He did.
[06:19.040 -> 06:21.760] I've got it written down here because Fab's notebook was in full swing this weekend.
[06:21.760 -> 06:22.760] Oh really?
[06:22.760 -> 06:23.760] It was.
[06:23.760 -> 06:32.240] I've got it written down here that it's a shame right because I just want to see Alex Albon in a faster car. It pains me.
[06:32.960 -> 06:38.560] I see some really bold moves from Alex Albon. I see some decent pace. I see some class driving.
[06:39.200 -> 06:43.280] I just wish he was in a faster car. He's been in a faster car. He has. Maybe.
[06:44.240 -> 06:46.040] And you've also got to remember
[06:46.040 -> 06:51.860] that I think everyone else knows he's quick or he never would have had a Red Bull seat.
[06:51.860 -> 06:56.100] There's a reason he was at Red Bull for a bit. They would have known how good he is,
[06:56.100 -> 06:59.840] but there's also a reason he's not there anymore. But then also, you know, Red Bull, Alex Abner
[06:59.840 -> 07:04.600] in the Red Bull was what, three or four years ago. And he's not old, is he? He'll still
[07:04.600 -> 07:05.400] be learning. And he would have learned so is he? Like he'll still be learning.
[07:05.400 -> 07:07.240] And he would have learned so much.
[07:07.240 -> 07:08.960] What about Perez then, eh?
[07:08.960 -> 07:11.880] Are we just gonna completely throw that one under the radar
[07:11.880 -> 07:13.880] or are we gonna talk about the fact that
[07:13.880 -> 07:17.160] he is just not really performing at the moment?
[07:17.160 -> 07:18.800] Not really sure what's going on there, mate.
[07:18.800 -> 07:22.500] He was struggling to even try and catch the Ferraris.
[07:22.500 -> 07:28.680] It's really strange to watch one car so breezing out in front to the point that at the end
[07:28.680 -> 07:34.880] Max is laughing on the radio in messages going, oops sorry I've hit the bump, no shits given.
[07:34.880 -> 07:39.320] See this leads on perfectly into what you've been saying to me off air.
[07:39.320 -> 07:41.480] Oh you're going to bring up the off air shit.
[07:41.480 -> 07:42.480] About Perez.
[07:42.480 -> 07:43.480] Yeah.
[07:43.480 -> 07:48.640] And what you think might happen because last last night, you made a really, really bold statement.
[07:48.640 -> 07:50.120] I would say it was a statement, not a prediction.
[07:50.120 -> 07:52.520] But let's make it clear, this was an off-air statement.
[07:52.520 -> 07:55.640] Like, I don't really want to publicize this,
[07:55.640 -> 07:58.240] because I don't believe it's gonna happen,
[07:58.240 -> 07:59.640] but I just think it could be crazy.
[07:59.640 -> 08:01.800] Because you truly do believe it's gonna happen,
[08:01.800 -> 08:03.640] because you looked me in the eye last night
[08:03.640 -> 08:06.160] and you said, fab, this is definitely happening. So why don't you tell the people what you it's gonna happen because you looked me in the eye last night and you said, Fab, this is definitely happening.
[08:06.160 -> 08:07.240] So why don't you tell the people
[08:07.240 -> 08:08.080] what you think is gonna happen?
[08:08.080 -> 08:10.080] No, I just said, look,
[08:10.080 -> 08:12.380] Perez isn't doing great at the moment
[08:12.380 -> 08:14.520] and Red Bull are quite clearly gonna win
[08:14.520 -> 08:16.660] the Constructors with just Max.
[08:16.660 -> 08:18.820] And they're probably gonna win every race this year
[08:18.820 -> 08:19.660] with Max.
[08:19.660 -> 08:21.820] So if they win every race and win the Constructors
[08:21.820 -> 08:24.700] as a team, that's the maximum they can do anyway.
[08:25.620 -> 08:28.240] If they were to drive a swap Perez and Ricciardo.
[08:28.240 -> 08:29.160] Mid season.
[08:29.160 -> 08:30.000] In a couple of races.
[08:30.000 -> 08:32.680] Can I just emphasize the fact you said mid season.
[08:32.680 -> 08:35.760] For Vegas, I'm mainly talking,
[08:35.760 -> 08:38.280] Ricciardo is in that car for Vegas.
[08:38.280 -> 08:41.200] It would be a great brand move
[08:41.200 -> 08:43.600] because it would get the team better publicity
[08:43.600 -> 08:44.840] for the final half of the year
[08:44.840 -> 08:45.960] with them winning the Constructors. What if he loses though? Who? What if Ricciardo comes last? move because it would get the team better publicity for the final half of the year with the winner of the Costa Rica Tour.
[08:45.960 -> 08:46.960] What if he loses though?
[08:46.960 -> 08:47.960] Who?
[08:47.960 -> 08:48.960] What if Ricciardo comes last?
[08:48.960 -> 08:49.960] That's not good publicity.
[08:49.960 -> 08:50.960] Well, I don't know.
[08:50.960 -> 08:54.700] I'm just saying like Perez should be winning.
[08:54.700 -> 08:58.040] In my eyes, if one car is able to win by a long way, the other car should be second.
[08:58.040 -> 09:00.720] Well, he had a little knock, didn't he, a couple of races ago.
[09:00.720 -> 09:03.400] They reckon it kind of might have fucked with his confidence a little bit.
[09:03.400 -> 09:07.200] There's got to be something weird around Daniel Ricciardo man, there has to be.
[09:07.200 -> 09:09.800] It still confuses me to this day.
[09:09.800 -> 09:12.120] I just don't know mate, I just don't know.
[09:12.120 -> 09:14.600] I just don't know is the honest answer.
[09:14.600 -> 09:16.600] But then you said they're extending Perez's contract.
[09:16.600 -> 09:20.240] I don't know if they're extending it but they came, Helmut Marker came out and said
[09:20.240 -> 09:24.400] look guys we're not fucking even thinking about getting rid of Perez.
[09:24.400 -> 09:26.600] But then you know you could be saying that.
[09:26.600 -> 09:27.440] It all could just be.
[09:27.440 -> 09:29.160] But then does this work perfectly for Red Bull?
[09:29.160 -> 09:30.960] Maybe they wouldn't want to get rid of Perez
[09:30.960 -> 09:32.280] because maybe this is perfect.
[09:32.280 -> 09:35.000] Win the constructors and have a driver that wins every race.
[09:35.000 -> 09:36.880] That's like the best thing they can do anyway.
[09:36.880 -> 09:38.960] Do they want two drivers that are one and two
[09:38.960 -> 09:40.140] fighting every week?
[09:40.140 -> 09:42.840] Look, I don't know, but we said this just after the race
[09:42.840 -> 09:44.240] because I turn around to you.
[09:44.240 -> 09:45.040] But we've said a lot.
[09:45.040 -> 09:46.360] I've also said that Daniel Ricciardo
[09:46.360 -> 09:49.840] is going out for Tauri a couple of episodes ago.
[09:49.840 -> 09:51.640] I turned around to you after the race,
[09:51.640 -> 09:54.680] and I said, it's a shame because, you know,
[09:54.680 -> 09:58.520] Stroll is really letting the team down for Aston Martin,
[09:58.520 -> 10:02.600] because they're currently 11 points behind Mercedes.
[10:02.600 -> 10:04.600] Now that, as far as I'm concerned,
[10:04.600 -> 10:07.200] is being carried by Fernando Alonso.
[10:07.200 -> 10:09.160] And it's a shame that he hasn't got a teammate
[10:09.160 -> 10:11.920] because they would be second in the constructors right now.
[10:11.920 -> 10:13.520] If Lance was pulling his way.
[10:13.520 -> 10:16.160] Yeah, and that's like we spoke about in the last pod,
[10:16.160 -> 10:17.840] it starts to get really tricky.
[10:17.840 -> 10:20.000] Like what can they actually do about it?
[10:21.440 -> 10:24.840] It's like if your dad is the manager of the team
[10:24.840 -> 10:27.320] and like you play for the team,
[10:27.320 -> 10:28.560] but everyone else on the team
[10:28.560 -> 10:29.880] thinks there could be someone better,
[10:29.880 -> 10:33.000] but you're just there every week playing.
[10:33.000 -> 10:37.120] It's a shame because I do see decent racing from Lance now.
[10:37.120 -> 10:39.160] I feel like he's gotten better.
[10:39.160 -> 10:41.320] I feel like ever since Alonso's been on the team
[10:41.320 -> 10:43.280] and he's had the guy next to him,
[10:43.280 -> 10:45.040] I feel like he's become in a become a better driver
[10:45.040 -> 10:50.440] Or all the cars just much better than last year and that too, but I actually see decent moves from him
[10:50.440 -> 10:55.160] I just feel like he's lacking the pace in general. He's not quite quick enough
[10:55.680 -> 10:57.960] But I mean there's some decent racing going on
[10:57.960 -> 11:03.120] I mean race experience has to be everything like Alonso is one races one world championships
[11:03.120 -> 11:06.480] He knows how to get it done. And he quite clearly is like concentrated
[11:06.480 -> 11:08.620] on so much more than just the racing.
[11:08.620 -> 11:10.640] Lance obviously doesn't have that yet.
[11:10.640 -> 11:11.760] He's much younger.
[11:11.760 -> 11:14.520] He hasn't been in a quick car for anywhere near as long.
[11:14.520 -> 11:16.800] He's clearly a great driver,
[11:16.800 -> 11:19.880] but you just can't compare the two.
[11:19.880 -> 11:20.720] But then-
[11:20.720 -> 11:23.640] Also, I think when you've had to fucking work for something,
[11:23.640 -> 11:25.040] when you've had to work for something,
[11:25.040 -> 11:27.580] like George Russell going to Williams
[11:27.580 -> 11:30.580] and like working his little socks off at Williams
[11:30.580 -> 11:32.840] to then get the seat at Mercedes.
[11:32.840 -> 11:35.960] But Lance still would have worked just as hard
[11:35.960 -> 11:36.960] as anyone else in that grid.
[11:36.960 -> 11:39.640] Admittedly, he would have had an F1 seat easier.
[11:39.640 -> 11:40.460] Well, yeah.
[11:40.460 -> 11:42.760] But he still had to do F2 in the junior categories, mate.
[11:42.760 -> 11:43.600] He still had to show up.
[11:43.600 -> 11:45.120] He didn't win F2.
[11:45.620 -> 11:45.920] Did he not?
[11:48.480 -> 11:48.960] Well, I don't know, but I'm going to go out there and say that he did.
[11:52.320 -> 11:53.680] Scott, bold statement to say he didn't win it if you're not sure. Google it, google it, I'm confident.
[11:54.080 -> 11:58.800] I would say he didn't win it because I'm trying to think of the year that he could have won it.
[11:59.600 -> 12:00.160] F2?
[12:01.280 -> 12:02.720] I don't reckon.
[12:02.720 -> 12:07.000] As we know the last few year winners, don't we? We have Dragovic, Piastri.
[12:07.000 -> 12:08.960] That's as far back as I can go.
[12:08.960 -> 12:11.600] He ended the season fifth.
[12:11.600 -> 12:12.960] Lance Stroll finished fifth, yeah?
[12:12.960 -> 12:13.800] In F2.
[12:14.680 -> 12:15.520] And then what?
[12:15.520 -> 12:17.480] Did he go straight to an Aston Martin seat?
[12:19.520 -> 12:20.520] I don't know.
[12:20.520 -> 12:23.160] I can't think of him being anywhere else.
[12:23.160 -> 12:28.800] Even my brain's gone completely dead and we're going to be ripped for this. Adrian Newey was on the podium with Red Bull
[12:30.200 -> 12:35.860] Which is nice to see Adrian Newey and his son was there Harrison Newey was at the racing in Canada this weekend as well
[12:36.040 -> 12:39.300] This is something that we're gonna dive into properly properly
[12:40.220 -> 12:43.100] on our next guest episode, but Adrian Newey
[12:43.840 -> 12:45.560] that man, I mean,
[12:45.560 -> 12:49.540] he must have so much power at Red Bull now.
[12:49.540 -> 12:51.540] And the working relationship,
[12:51.540 -> 12:54.400] I would love to know more about the working relationship
[12:54.400 -> 12:57.320] between him, who designs the car,
[12:57.320 -> 12:59.440] rumored to be on pen and paper,
[12:59.440 -> 13:02.160] or pencil and paper as well, not using CAD.
[13:03.880 -> 13:06.000] I would love to know his relationship between him
[13:06.000 -> 13:09.060] and like the Pitstop boys, not us,
[13:09.060 -> 13:11.200] but like the on-track engineers, you know?
[13:11.200 -> 13:13.480] Yeah, see what involvement he has.
[13:13.480 -> 13:15.840] I'd love to know what the dynamics like.
[13:15.840 -> 13:18.440] I'd love to know what they're planning for next year.
[13:19.420 -> 13:22.680] Like whether any teams have started planning for next year.
[13:22.680 -> 13:27.280] I reckon Red Bull next year should
[13:27.280 -> 13:33.760] just have one front wheel. What, three wheeler? Three, like a Reliant Robin.
[13:33.760 -> 13:41.240] Reliant Robin. Can you imagine that? They'd probably still win. What do you reckon? One front wheel or one rear
[13:41.240 -> 13:45.860] wheel? What would you have? I would 100% go two wheels at the front,
[13:45.860 -> 13:46.700] one at the back.
[13:46.700 -> 13:48.760] I'm just thinking of corners.
[13:48.760 -> 13:49.600] But then the rear wheel.
[13:49.600 -> 13:51.160] You're pretty ruined anyway.
[13:51.160 -> 13:53.760] The rear wheel is the one which gives you the drive.
[13:53.760 -> 13:55.400] I don't think they get around any track
[13:55.400 -> 13:56.880] on that grid with three wheels.
[13:56.880 -> 13:58.220] Like at them speeds.
[13:59.600 -> 14:01.520] It's a shame that F1 cars cost so much money
[14:01.520 -> 14:03.820] and the old models are like relics
[14:03.820 -> 14:05.480] because I would love to see, like we've spoken about so much, it's kind of F1 cars cost so much money and the old models are like relics because I would love to see,
[14:05.480 -> 14:06.840] like we've spoken about so much,
[14:06.840 -> 14:09.480] it's kind of F1's champions league,
[14:09.480 -> 14:11.040] where it's like all the old dogs
[14:11.040 -> 14:12.160] coming back out of retirement,
[14:12.160 -> 14:14.800] but they should all drive three-wheeled F1 cars.
[14:14.800 -> 14:16.400] I did see something ridiculous today.
[14:16.400 -> 14:17.720] Saw a statement online.
[14:17.720 -> 14:18.560] Did you look in the mirror?
[14:18.560 -> 14:19.380] No.
[14:19.380 -> 14:20.220] Did you look in the mirror?
[14:20.220 -> 14:21.060] No.
[14:21.060 -> 14:21.880] Did you look in the mirror?
[14:21.880 -> 14:22.720] No.
[14:22.720 -> 14:23.560] Did you look in the mirror?
[14:23.560 -> 14:24.380] No.
[14:24.380 -> 14:26.000] Did you look in the mirror? No. Did you look in the mirror? No. Did you look in the mirror? No. That's an intro clip. Well I mean that's a horrible thing to say.
[14:26.000 -> 14:30.480] No, it's like one of your dodgy websites again and apparently Stefano Dominicano has come
[14:30.480 -> 14:35.120] out and said, we will not penalise anyone or we will not do anything to bring the field
[14:35.120 -> 14:37.120] back together because Red Bull was so far ahead.
[14:37.120 -> 14:38.120] Did you see that?
[14:38.120 -> 14:39.120] No.
[14:39.120 -> 14:41.280] Like someone questioned him on it in an interview being like, what are you going to do about
[14:41.280 -> 14:43.000] Red Bull being so far in front?
[14:43.000 -> 14:46.040] And I was just like, that's so ridiculous.
[14:46.040 -> 14:47.320] Give them some credit.
[14:47.320 -> 14:50.800] Like I'm happily, I'll happily sit here and say like,
[14:50.800 -> 14:51.960] and say shit here and there.
[14:51.960 -> 14:53.160] Cause we have to, we're a pod.
[14:53.160 -> 14:54.720] We don't support an individual team.
[14:54.720 -> 14:56.120] We just love the racing.
[14:56.120 -> 14:59.760] We can say it, but they, there's nothing that can be done.
[14:59.760 -> 15:01.880] If they're so far ahead, that's just fair play.
[15:01.880 -> 15:02.920] Do you know what I want to know?
[15:02.920 -> 15:05.520] I want to know how
[15:13.360 -> 15:18.000] how often do like the teams have to submit what they've spent? Because how you know if let's say for instance in layman's terms Red Bull have overspent again this year why do we have to
[15:18.000 -> 15:24.000] wait until the end of the year to find out? Well it's because Sally who is the F1 accounts woman
[15:24.880 -> 15:25.840] is it actually Sally?
[15:25.840 -> 15:29.040] She sits there in her office and she goes through receipt after receipt
[15:29.040 -> 15:30.560] She says computer says no
[15:31.120 -> 15:33.520] She has to add up every single receipt
[15:33.520 -> 15:35.360] From every single thing
[15:35.360 -> 15:39.520] The teams should have to submit their finances quarterly
[15:40.000 -> 15:41.040] I'm sure they do
[15:41.040 -> 15:43.200] I know fucking nothing about this, I could be way off
[15:43.200 -> 15:45.720] But like we saw happen before,
[15:45.720 -> 15:49.800] they found out and it wasn't until a year later that they were like, oh well, we could
[15:49.800 -> 15:53.800] penalise Red Bull, but nah, we probably won't.
[15:53.800 -> 16:00.720] I don't, every race that goes on, my respect for Max gets more, as we were speaking about
[16:00.720 -> 16:05.000] a couple of races ago, but it also becomes more evident to me
[16:05.000 -> 16:07.720] that if Max wasn't there,
[16:07.720 -> 16:09.680] say for example, Max didn't race,
[16:09.680 -> 16:11.880] Max wasn't on the grid and it was one drive from each team
[16:11.880 -> 16:12.720] and you have Perez in the front.
[16:12.720 -> 16:13.880] How close would it be?
[16:13.880 -> 16:15.080] Well, you wouldn't be looking at Red Bull
[16:15.080 -> 16:16.960] saying they're really quick.
[16:16.960 -> 16:17.840] It's as simple as that.
[16:17.840 -> 16:19.880] Perez wouldn't be making everyone go,
[16:19.880 -> 16:21.240] wow, Red Bull have overspent,
[16:21.240 -> 16:22.840] look at all this, look at all that, would he?
[16:22.840 -> 16:24.080] He doesn't win every race.
[16:24.080 -> 16:26.860] If it was just Perez, he wouldn't win every race.
[16:26.860 -> 16:28.900] He wouldn't get pole every race.
[16:28.900 -> 16:33.420] So you have to look at that and say, it's the driver.
[16:33.420 -> 16:35.380] It's Max the Schnapples.
[16:35.380 -> 16:38.500] I genuinely think he might break every record.
[16:38.500 -> 16:39.460] This could be crazy.
[16:39.460 -> 16:40.780] So as a team, right?
[16:40.780 -> 16:43.180] So you've got 10 teams on the grid.
[16:43.180 -> 16:48.560] I would say at least six of them never
[16:48.560 -> 16:53.020] have any chance of ever coming up against Red Bull anyway all right well
[16:53.020 -> 16:59.360] just for the fun of it let's name them six. HASS. Okay well they thought they might
[16:59.360 -> 17:02.380] have a chance but unfortunately Holkenberg got a grid penalty and
[17:02.380 -> 17:05.120] realistically he never had a chance. Oh, for Tari.
[17:05.120 -> 17:06.160] I wish he did.
[17:06.160 -> 17:06.800] Williams.
[17:07.680 -> 17:08.240] Okay, yeah.
[17:10.640 -> 17:15.200] The holidays start here at Fred Meyer, with a variety of options to celebrate traditions
[17:15.200 -> 17:21.040] old and new. You could do a classic herb roasted turkey or spice it up and make turkey tacos.
[17:21.040 -> 17:25.720] Serve up a go-to shrimp cocktail or or use Simple Truth Wild Caught Shrimp
[17:25.720 -> 17:27.720] for your first Cajun risotto.
[17:27.720 -> 17:31.280] Make creamy mac and cheese or a spinach artichoke fondue
[17:31.280 -> 17:32.880] from our selection of Murray's cheese.
[17:32.880 -> 17:34.640] No matter how you shop, Fred Meyer
[17:34.640 -> 17:36.880] has all the freshest ingredients to embrace
[17:36.880 -> 17:38.320] all your holiday traditions.
[17:38.320 -> 17:40.840] Fred Meyer, fresh for everyone.
[17:40.840 -> 17:44.400] The holidays are a time to feel and create joy.
[17:44.400 -> 17:47.000] And what could be more joyous than the look on her face
[17:47.000 -> 17:50.000] as she unwraps a stunning new jewelry piece from Blue Nile?
[17:50.000 -> 17:53.000] How about getting 50% off your purchase?

[18:09.840 -> 18:15.800] Come on. So that's three, that's half of six.
[18:15.800 -> 18:21.640] Alfa Romeo four. Alpine. Alpine five. I mean it's hard to say that after Ocon got a
[18:21.640 -> 18:24.520] podium but they don't have a chance against Red Bull. So you've got Mercedes...
[18:24.520 -> 18:26.020] We're doing against red
[18:26.020 -> 18:31.520] Yeah, you have so there's nine teams you have to exclude so so you've got Mercedes Aston Martin Ferrari
[18:32.600 -> 18:34.180] potentially McLaren
[18:34.180 -> 18:36.180] anyone else
[18:37.600 -> 18:40.420] No, you don't and then you got Red Bull that makes five and then the other five
[18:40.420 -> 18:42.920] I really don't think there's a single team on there that can compete
[18:42.920 -> 18:48.280] It's but that's the. And I've spent so long explaining this small piece now
[18:48.280 -> 18:50.840] that I forgot where I was even going with this.
[18:53.200 -> 18:54.040] So that's where I was going.
[18:54.040 -> 18:56.080] So if you're like one of those five teams at the bottom,
[18:56.080 -> 18:58.600] like you never expect you're ever gonna like come close
[18:58.600 -> 19:00.200] to winning the championships, it doesn't bother you.
[19:00.200 -> 19:01.920] But if you're one of these teams who are like
[19:01.920 -> 19:06.320] kind of midfield or kind of up near the top What do you do?
[19:06.320 -> 19:11.240] like you must look at the next at least two years, but probably three and
[19:11.560 -> 19:15.480] Think like we're never ever gonna fucking win this. What's the point?
[19:16.240 -> 19:21.240] Even if you know, you can go through a season and get lucky right and not lucky
[19:21.240 -> 19:26.320] Yes, it's the way that f1 works, but you can go through a season, hope for a couple of crashes,
[19:26.320 -> 19:28.840] maybe you can pick up a podium here or a win there,
[19:28.840 -> 19:30.120] but you're not gonna win the championship.
[19:30.120 -> 19:32.880] Yeah, but not every team on that grid
[19:32.880 -> 19:34.960] goes out expecting to win, the constructors,
[19:34.960 -> 19:36.520] goes out expecting to win.
[19:36.520 -> 19:37.360] Well, that's what I'm saying.
[19:37.360 -> 19:39.560] Obviously, every driver wants to,
[19:39.560 -> 19:42.560] every driver wants to and probably believes
[19:42.560 -> 19:44.360] that they will be a world champion,
[19:44.360 -> 19:45.160] but not every
[19:45.160 -> 19:49.600] team principal and team is having their meetings at the beginning of the season going, right,
[19:49.600 -> 19:50.600] we're going to win.
[19:50.600 -> 19:56.280] I do believe Mercedes still think that they could come back next year and kill it. I do
[19:56.280 -> 20:01.840] think after these changes that they've made, I reckon 2020, whatever the fucking year is,
[20:01.840 -> 20:05.840] what year are we in? 2023. So 2024 Mercedes, I think they could come back strong.
[20:05.840 -> 20:08.360] I definitely think, yeah, but I think by the time they do,
[20:08.360 -> 20:10.580] we'll see a bit of like a five-way shootout.
[20:10.580 -> 20:13.960] Like I think you'll have like McLaren, Mercedes, Ferrari.
[20:13.960 -> 20:16.920] I don't see like Mercedes suddenly jumping ahead
[20:16.920 -> 20:19.200] of Aston Martin and being way quicker than them.
[20:19.200 -> 20:21.000] Well, they're gradually doing it this year, aren't they?
[20:21.000 -> 20:23.680] I mean, Lewis Hamilton was closing in on Alonso.
[20:23.680 -> 20:28.800] Lewis Hamilton had a good race today. Russell was mad unlucky, he was having a good race as well and then
[20:28.800 -> 20:31.400] George could have been good today. And then he would come back, he was 19th and then out
[20:31.400 -> 20:35.000] of nowhere he was 8th again because he didn't pit and then his car died. I was like wow
[20:35.000 -> 20:39.480] this could have been one of the best recovery drives. Fab's prediction of Gasly on the podium
[20:39.480 -> 20:43.640] didn't go too swimmingly. No it didn't, how did your predictions go? Well Stroll did better
[20:43.640 -> 20:49.220] than Gasly so Gasly came 12th, Stroll came 9th. So at least Stroll did get points at his home
[20:49.220 -> 20:55.220] Grand Prix. That means you were close then. So technically Aston Martin got 20 points
[20:55.220 -> 21:01.620] this weekend from two drivers. Mercedes got 15 from Hamon. Right. That's a big podium
[21:01.620 -> 21:12.400] for Hamon. So imagine if Stroll could have just done slightly better. Well he he's still got more points than Russell, so he's doing better than the other Mercedes driver. Very true. W Series has gone into
[21:13.160 -> 21:17.520] Administration. Yeah, it's the end of the line for W Series. I thought this happened a couple months back
[21:18.440 -> 21:24.480] But I don't know the legal terms, but I imagine going into administration is the technical term for being fucked
[21:24.680 -> 21:25.000] Yeah, like just run out of money really but then I'm not surprised their whole series has now changed to the legal terms, but I imagine going into administration is the technical term for being fucked.
[21:25.000 -> 21:27.000] Yeah, like just run out of money really.
[21:27.000 -> 21:28.820] But then I'm not surprised their whole series
[21:28.820 -> 21:31.520] has now changed to, well, it's not their series, is it?
[21:31.520 -> 21:33.000] But you have F1 Academy now.
[21:33.000 -> 21:34.520] Yeah, so it's kind of sad,
[21:34.520 -> 21:37.240] but I saw a load of posts from people like,
[21:37.240 -> 21:41.060] did Jamie Chadwick win W Series like three or four times?
[21:41.060 -> 21:43.820] So that would have done amazing things for her career.
[21:43.820 -> 21:48.820] Obviously, Naomi and W Series was around for a bit.
[21:49.440 -> 21:51.860] And so I don't know what I'm trying to get here,
[21:51.860 -> 21:54.340] but I think it would have done a lot for certain drivers.
[21:54.340 -> 21:55.780] Yeah, it would have done a lot for so many people.
[21:55.780 -> 21:57.900] It got loads of them back into racing.
[21:57.900 -> 21:59.860] Loads of an opportunity for loads of people.
[21:59.860 -> 22:01.580] It is sad.
[22:01.580 -> 22:05.840] It is sad because arguably if W Series never happened,
[22:05.840 -> 22:07.960] we probably might not have F1 Academy now.
[22:07.960 -> 22:10.960] It takes something to ignite something else.
[22:10.960 -> 22:13.920] And then I think credit should be given where credit is due.
[22:13.920 -> 22:16.880] And then something like W Series can just go under
[22:16.880 -> 22:18.640] and never be spoken about again.
[22:18.640 -> 22:19.920] But if it wasn't for W Series,
[22:19.920 -> 22:21.000] we might not have F1 Academy.
[22:21.000 -> 22:21.840] So it's-
[22:21.840 -> 22:23.360] So it's not sad really.
[22:23.360 -> 22:24.200] It's quite good.
[22:24.200 -> 22:26.000] No, I think it is sad because behind it,
[22:26.000 -> 22:29.640] there was one, I'm not, don't quote me on this,
[22:29.640 -> 22:32.240] but I believe one of the founders of W Series
[22:32.240 -> 22:35.940] was a woman who had a big passion for like females
[22:35.940 -> 22:37.120] in motorsport, obviously.
[22:37.120 -> 22:38.900] And she put a lot into this.
[22:38.900 -> 22:42.420] And there'll be people that would have had to break down
[22:42.420 -> 22:44.720] a lot of barriers to get W Series approved,
[22:44.720 -> 22:45.640] racing with F1,
[22:45.640 -> 22:47.800] getting on them tracks, getting on them circuits.
[22:47.800 -> 22:49.840] This is normally how it happens, isn't it?
[22:49.840 -> 22:52.720] For greatness, for something great to happen,
[22:52.720 -> 22:55.420] there is usually someone at the beginning
[22:55.420 -> 22:57.320] who doesn't get the fucking credit that they deserve.
[22:57.320 -> 22:58.880] Like, do you really think McDonald's
[22:58.880 -> 23:00.880] like pioneered the fucking hamburger?
[23:00.880 -> 23:02.920] That is crazy, by the way, in that movie.
[23:02.920 -> 23:04.760] I didn't know that it was like kind of robbed.
[23:04.760 -> 23:07.960] The founder, if no one's watched the founder
[23:07.960 -> 23:12.040] watch it I watched it on a flight the burger it's amazing it's an amazing film
[23:12.040 -> 23:16.360] it's all about how McDonald's started but those two guys who started McDonald's
[23:16.360 -> 23:20.680] it was one little drive-thru you know in the middle of buttfuck nowhere and all
[23:20.680 -> 23:23.640] of a sudden this guy who was trying to sell I don't want to ruin the film but
[23:23.640 -> 23:25.000] it's gonna say she's ready to watch who was trying to sell, I don't want to ruin the film, but. I was going to say, cheers man, don't need to watch it anymore.
[23:25.000 -> 23:26.680] He was trying to sell milkshake machines
[23:26.680 -> 23:28.480] and then he ended up just turning McDonald's
[23:28.480 -> 23:30.000] into this massive empire.
[23:30.000 -> 23:31.200] Well, that's the thing,
[23:31.200 -> 23:32.720] the movie is a great example of
[23:32.720 -> 23:35.340] sometimes things only work in the right hands.
[23:35.340 -> 23:38.320] Because the two guys that started McDonald's,
[23:38.320 -> 23:40.960] I hate to say it, they would never have made it what it is.
[23:40.960 -> 23:41.800] They never would have.
[23:41.800 -> 23:43.800] They didn't have the,
[23:43.800 -> 23:46.720] some people just don't see things that big. But I think in terms of W Series, it is it is. They never would have. They didn't have the, some people just don't see things that big.
[23:46.720 -> 23:49.200] But I think in terms of W Series, it is really sad.
[23:49.200 -> 23:50.040] It is amazing.
[23:50.040 -> 23:52.320] It got a lot of people a good opportunity,
[23:52.320 -> 23:55.200] but it's a shame it's like gone.
[23:55.200 -> 23:56.920] It just went really quiet, didn't it?
[23:56.920 -> 23:58.820] Like out of nowhere, I didn't hear anything.
[23:58.820 -> 24:00.000] I didn't really know what's going on.
[24:00.000 -> 24:01.520] And to be honest with you,
[24:01.520 -> 24:03.120] I still don't really know what's going on
[24:03.120 -> 24:04.400] with F1 Academy that much,
[24:04.400 -> 24:06.560] because it's not streamed live on TV.
[24:06.560 -> 24:08.320] You get the highlights, you get the photos.
[24:08.320 -> 24:09.440] I think it will come.
[24:09.440 -> 24:13.320] I think WC, I don't know anything about like who owned it
[24:13.320 -> 24:14.600] or how it was run, but I mean,
[24:14.600 -> 24:17.800] if it's like a separate entity to F1,
[24:17.800 -> 24:19.360] it's always gonna struggle.
[24:19.360 -> 24:20.960] And if it's his own thing,
[24:20.960 -> 24:22.840] whereas at least F1 Academy is like
[24:22.840 -> 24:24.880] under the Formula One hood, you know?
[24:24.880 -> 24:27.920] So that should bring it enough exposure.
[24:27.920 -> 24:29.360] This should end up with Marta Garcia
[24:29.360 -> 24:30.760] in Formula Three next year.
[24:30.760 -> 24:33.040] At the moment, Marta Garcia is winning F1 Academy,
[24:33.040 -> 24:34.960] and I'm pretty sure the winner goes into F3.
[24:34.960 -> 24:35.800] Yeah, that's how it works, yeah.
[24:35.800 -> 24:37.140] Which will be mega.
[24:37.140 -> 24:39.680] It will be like so exciting to watch.
[24:39.680 -> 24:43.400] Like Catherine Legge, who's in the NASCAR,
[24:43.400 -> 24:45.000] who's in IndyCar.
[24:46.400 -> 24:47.240] There we go.
[24:47.240 -> 24:48.080] IndyCar.
[24:48.080 -> 24:48.900] It's great knowledge mate.
[24:48.900 -> 24:51.160] The only female driver in IndyCar as far as I'm concerned
[24:51.160 -> 24:52.960] and she's a British woman.
[24:52.960 -> 24:53.920] You should get her on the pod.
[24:53.920 -> 24:55.040] Well, let's see if we can get on the,
[24:55.040 -> 24:57.320] we actually do have another guest coming this week.
[24:57.320 -> 25:00.480] It will be live on Saturday, 10 a.m.
[25:00.480 -> 25:02.560] So if we tell you there's a guest coming,
[25:02.560 -> 25:04.600] just know Saturday, 10 a.m.
[25:04.600 -> 25:08.460] And then we can try and get some kind of... Did everyone enjoy Freddy? I know you can't
[25:08.460 -> 25:13.740] really reply but I think it was a really special episode. Okay you pretend to be the listener.
[25:13.740 -> 25:17.980] Did you enjoy the Freddy episode? Yeah I loved it. What was your favorite part?
[25:17.980 -> 25:21.740] The bit where he talks about the Rush movie and spills all the secret stuff.
[25:21.740 -> 25:26.000] Yeah. Never been heard anywhere else before. that's good, no he did say a lot
[25:26.000 -> 25:28.000] Freddy was an amazing guy and it was so cool afterwards
[25:28.000 -> 25:30.000] just to be texting him and getting all these videos
[25:30.000 -> 25:32.000] and he sent over loads of stuff
[25:32.000 -> 25:34.000] if you listen to it and haven't watched it
[25:34.000 -> 25:36.000] you should go and watch it because he sent over
[25:36.000 -> 25:38.000] videos of him on the farm with the pigs
[25:38.000 -> 25:40.000] and that and we only inserted so many
[25:40.000 -> 25:42.000] clips but I mean we, Jake has a
[25:42.000 -> 25:44.000] fucking phone full of photos and videos
[25:44.000 -> 25:48.000] of Freddy Hunt, James Hunt's son on the farm
[25:48.000 -> 25:51.160] with his chickens, his lambs, his pigs, it's amazing.
[25:51.160 -> 25:54.340] He was just a great guy, a great guest.
[25:54.340 -> 25:57.480] And to be fair, one of the things we always say
[25:57.480 -> 25:59.280] about this pod is one of our favorite things
[25:59.280 -> 26:01.080] is just becoming friends with these people.
[26:01.080 -> 26:06.880] Like every guest that leaves here, every guest, they never walk out that door
[26:06.880 -> 26:09.840] and it's like, cool, see you later, bye, ever.
[26:09.840 -> 26:11.880] There's always a conversation afterwards.
[26:11.880 -> 26:16.040] There's always a friendship built and that's invaluable.
[26:16.040 -> 26:18.560] Like that's just the coolest thing in the world.
[26:18.560 -> 26:22.520] Well, it just allows us to, you know, really,
[26:22.520 -> 26:25.400] it just allows us to do more cool things in the future.
[26:25.400 -> 26:29.600] Like, we already spoke about this before we even had Freddie on, me and Jake were like,
[26:29.600 -> 26:34.200] you know, if we, if this pod goes well with Freddie, then maybe we could document like,
[26:34.200 -> 26:37.920] his actual farm and like go to his farm and film it, fucking put it on YouTube and show
[26:37.920 -> 26:38.920] everyone.
[26:38.920 -> 26:39.920] I would love to.
[26:39.920 -> 26:40.920] That's what we want to do.
[26:40.920 -> 26:43.720] Like, we want to take, every time we meet someone, we want to do another episode with
[26:43.720 -> 26:44.720] them again.
[26:44.720 -> 26:45.760] But like, rather than it just be a pod, we want to turn it time we meet someone, we want to do another episode with them again, but like rather than it just be a pod,
[26:45.760 -> 26:48.120] we want to turn it into like an actual TV show.
[26:48.120 -> 26:51.900] Like I want to go fucking milk the cows with Fred.
[26:51.900 -> 26:54.320] No, I do as well, but he doesn't have cows.
[26:54.320 -> 26:56.760] And milk the fucking pigs.
[26:56.760 -> 26:58.240] Milk the sheep.
[26:58.240 -> 27:00.360] Maybe that sounds a bit wrong.
[27:00.360 -> 27:03.000] I want to just take it back a little bit to qualifying.
[27:03.000 -> 27:03.840] Sure.
[27:03.840 -> 27:06.720] Cause you know, quite a lot of things happened in qualifying.
[27:06.720 -> 27:07.800] There was a lot of people thought
[27:07.800 -> 27:08.880] would have penalties and that,
[27:08.880 -> 27:11.400] but the sad one, obviously, like I said about earlier,
[27:11.400 -> 27:14.480] Hulkenberg was second and then he did get a grid penalty
[27:14.480 -> 27:18.360] and yeah, it wasn't the best race for him today.
[27:18.360 -> 27:19.300] No.
[27:19.300 -> 27:20.680] But to be honest,
[27:20.680 -> 27:23.040] I don't think you're going to really get a house,
[27:23.040 -> 27:24.880] you know, up the top of the grid.
[27:24.880 -> 27:27.040] They're just not going gonna be quick enough. Do you think
[27:28.040 -> 27:34.160] Which team if you had to take a guess that isn't there now, do you think will be the next team there?
[27:34.840 -> 27:39.360] like who do you reckon would be the team that could go and get a win if
[27:40.160 -> 27:44.240] If things went a little bit weird one race Mercedes
[27:44.240 -> 27:46.000] No if things went a little bit weird one race. Mercedes? No, that isn't there now.
[27:46.000 -> 27:48.580] Like an Alpine, like no one expected Ocon
[27:48.580 -> 27:50.160] on the podium in Monaco.
[27:50.160 -> 27:51.680] No, it was a few races ago,
[27:51.680 -> 27:54.040] I was saying I think Ocon's really decent
[27:54.040 -> 27:55.520] and it was fucking Matt Murray downing.
[27:55.520 -> 27:57.680] He shut me down and said, what?
[27:57.680 -> 27:58.520] Did he?
[27:58.520 -> 27:59.400] Well, both of you did.
[27:59.400 -> 28:00.640] No, I think Ocon's good driving.
[28:00.640 -> 28:02.600] I think Ocon's solid.
[28:02.600 -> 28:03.440] I think Ocon's good.
[28:03.440 -> 28:05.720] I think Ocon and Gasly are like good teammates
[28:05.720 -> 28:08.280] because I think they're like identical of level.
[28:08.280 -> 28:10.440] I, where they are, if you actually combine this,
[28:10.440 -> 28:12.120] if you look at their stats side by side,
[28:12.120 -> 28:13.680] it is ridiculously similar.
[28:13.680 -> 28:14.520] On their driver ratings.
[28:14.520 -> 28:16.360] Paces, podiums, everything.
[28:16.360 -> 28:17.760] Gasly hasn't been doing as well.
[28:17.760 -> 28:19.840] I feel like Ocon's been doing better this year.
[28:19.840 -> 28:21.960] Yeah, maybe Ocon's a bit more used to the car.
[28:21.960 -> 28:24.560] This is a big, it's been a bigger move for Gasly.
[28:24.560 -> 28:27.000] Ocon also knows everyone in the garage already.
[28:27.000 -> 28:31.640] Speaking of Gasly, he was 11 centimeters from the wall.
[28:31.640 -> 28:36.280] So I believe it's turns 13 and 14.
[28:36.280 -> 28:37.360] Could have got that wrong.
[28:37.360 -> 28:39.160] It's the last turns on the circuit
[28:39.160 -> 28:40.680] before you get on the main straight.
[28:40.680 -> 28:42.680] So there's only 13 turns at Canada.
[28:42.680 -> 28:44.000] Could be wrong, I could be wrong.
[28:44.000 -> 28:45.360] It is a short circuit.
[28:45.360 -> 28:47.800] Yeah, and they're all slow, slow corners as well.
[28:47.800 -> 28:51.920] So final chicane, Champions Club is right on the edge there,
[28:51.920 -> 28:54.680] which is nuts because the view,
[28:55.680 -> 28:57.680] Canada, I think it's got a lot of decent view
[28:57.680 -> 28:59.800] in sections of the track, but Champions Club,
[28:59.800 -> 29:01.760] oh my God, that's literally like the best place
[29:01.760 -> 29:02.600] to watch the race.
[29:02.600 -> 29:04.800] If you want to watch a good place to watch an F1 race,
[29:04.800 -> 29:05.640] watch it from Champions Cup.
[29:05.640 -> 29:07.080] It is pretty cool that they're right there on the side.
[29:07.080 -> 29:09.580] Like if a car went, if a car crashed or spat out,
[29:09.580 -> 29:10.420] it's going to go right in front of them.
[29:10.420 -> 29:11.260] Ridiculous.
[29:11.260 -> 29:13.920] But it's right on the wall of Champions,
[29:13.920 -> 29:14.760] which is like this,
[29:14.760 -> 29:15.580] Makes sense.
[29:15.580 -> 29:17.720] Which is like the sacred place, right?
[29:17.720 -> 29:19.280] The Gillesville nerve circuit.
[29:19.280 -> 29:20.120] No worries.
[29:20.120 -> 29:21.000] You're welcome.
[29:21.000 -> 29:24.880] But Gasly became 11 centimeters from that wall,
[29:24.880 -> 29:26.800] which is nuts, right? Because you may be thinking, Gasly became 11 centimeters from that wall. Which is nuts, right?
[29:26.800 -> 29:30.040] Because you may be thinking, how much is 11 centimeters?
[29:30.040 -> 29:32.360] I know, I know how big 11 centimeters is.
[29:32.360 -> 29:33.200] You do?
[29:33.200 -> 29:34.960] You look down at it every day, don't you?
[29:34.960 -> 29:35.800] It's about the size.
[29:35.800 -> 29:36.640] God, I wish.
[29:36.640 -> 29:38.540] It's about the size of a chub key.
[29:41.040 -> 29:41.880] What is that?
[29:41.880 -> 29:43.160] What is a chub key?
[29:43.160 -> 29:45.920] You know, like you have a normal door key, but then like if you go through
[29:45.920 -> 29:49.040] an old door you got one of those old fashioned keys.
[29:49.040 -> 29:52.120] It's like thin, it's like a thin pole with a bit of the end and a handle.
[29:52.120 -> 29:53.120] Yeah, okay.
[29:53.120 -> 29:54.120] You know the ones?
[29:54.120 -> 29:55.120] No.
[29:55.120 -> 29:56.120] Chubb key.
[29:56.120 -> 29:57.120] Like the key that's bigger than a normal key.
[29:57.120 -> 30:02.160] The key that you would use to like open like a fucking shed or something, you know?
[30:02.160 -> 30:03.160] A shed key.
[30:03.160 -> 30:04.160] A shed key.
[30:04.160 -> 30:06.320] So Peter Gasly was a shed key away from the wall.
[30:06.320 -> 30:07.320] Or a tiger claw.
[30:07.320 -> 30:08.320] Okay.
[30:08.320 -> 30:10.200] Or an elf bar.
[30:10.200 -> 30:13.800] Or roughly around 11 centimetres long.
[30:13.800 -> 30:19.520] 11 centimetres away from the wall, I know that we say that's not far, but when you've
[30:19.520 -> 30:23.000] just had Monaco, 11 centimetres becomes a lot.
[30:23.000 -> 30:25.280] Yeah, well I mean they were literally touching the barriers in Monaco. Yeah, well, I mean, they were literally touching
[30:25.280 -> 30:26.200] the barriers at Monaco.
[30:26.200 -> 30:27.920] Yeah, it was zero, wasn't it?
[30:27.920 -> 30:30.520] Yeah, I would say it was minus.
[30:30.520 -> 30:32.240] But I know what you mean, that final corner,
[30:32.240 -> 30:34.040] because they're 11 centimeters away from the wall,
[30:34.040 -> 30:35.960] but it's almost the back end going out,
[30:35.960 -> 30:38.120] and then they have to pull the back end in.
[30:38.120 -> 30:40.440] It's not like deliberately straight line
[30:40.440 -> 30:41.680] going as close to it, is it?
[30:41.680 -> 30:48.400] It's like, you have to get the catch to the back, but it's like when you'd swivel your hips a little bit this is like the
[30:48.400 -> 30:53.120] same same terminology that Toto uses on the radio
[30:53.120 -> 30:55.120] yeah I was chatting to Toto the other day
[30:55.120 -> 31:00.320] Blandon Norris with a five second penalty what are your thoughts on that Jake boys?
[31:00.320 -> 31:05.880] What was it for? Was it for the pits? it was for unsportsmanlike behavior now what
[31:05.880 -> 31:11.240] did he put louder what the hell does that mean what's he done I don't know
[31:11.240 -> 31:14.920] well I don't know what the fuck it means I mean even Ted was complaining about it
[31:14.920 -> 31:18.360] on on sky saying a lot of penalties were given out he said it was quite
[31:18.360 -> 31:21.880] unsportsmanlike when Michael Schumacher ran Damon Hill off the track but he
[31:21.880 -> 31:28.960] never got a penalty for that f F1 has become very, very vanilla, like recently.
[31:28.960 -> 31:32.120] Like it's very straight edge at the moment.
[31:32.120 -> 31:37.400] And I get it, because if you allow one person to get away with something, but
[31:37.400 -> 31:41.760] then not someone else, and if there's like a few points, if there's a few
[31:41.760 -> 31:44.680] points, you know, hinging on it, like we saw a couple of years ago, and now
[31:44.680 -> 31:49.960] there's that big massive establishment and couple years ago, then yeah the points are literally worth millions and millions of dollars.
[31:49.960 -> 31:57.160] So what's the solution here? I think one thing that should be heavily
[31:57.160 -> 32:03.520] remembered is that near enough a high percentage of every single like thing
[32:03.520 -> 32:05.560] that the stewards give out wouldn't have
[32:05.560 -> 32:11.640] been initiated by the stewards like for example if Lando did something Alpine if
[32:11.640 -> 32:16.040] it was to Alpine, Alpine would be the ones that go straight to the FIA and I
[32:16.040 -> 32:20.480] think the reason you see so many and the reason you do see and you sometimes you
[32:20.480 -> 32:24.520] do think that's ridiculous is because every team is just desperate for them points
[32:24.520 -> 32:27.740] do you know what I think would be the best option what what would
[32:27.740 -> 32:32.840] be the best option put it to the public public vote should everyone's favorite
[32:32.840 -> 32:36.240] drivers would never get in trouble well there you go mate because everyone we
[32:36.240 -> 32:40.300] everyone being can you imagine the engagement it would be crazy if you knew
[32:40.300 -> 32:45.760] right if it popped up on your phone if it popped up on your TV right now
[32:45.760 -> 32:49.800] and it was like Lando Norris is currently in fifth position but he's
[32:49.800 -> 32:52.800] about to or whatever he was sixth or seventh but he's about to come out of
[32:52.800 -> 32:56.760] the points this race fucking go to your phone and vote to keep Lando in the
[32:56.760 -> 33:04.040] fucking race did Max Verstappen go over the kerb yes or no it's a vote everyone
[33:04.040 -> 33:06.160] at home for a five second time penalty.
[33:06.160 -> 33:09.160] There must be a cool way to get people involved,
[33:09.160 -> 33:11.040] get a bit more interactive with the F1, I'd like that.
[33:11.040 -> 33:11.960] Well, they did it this weekend.
[33:11.960 -> 33:14.080] We didn't watch it because we were watching on Sky F1,
[33:14.080 -> 33:17.540] but we watch on Now TV, so we don't have a red button.
[33:17.540 -> 33:19.440] So we couldn't watch the Daniel Ricciardo
[33:19.440 -> 33:22.000] and the other guys thing in the grandstand.
[33:22.000 -> 33:23.520] So I just don't know the other guy's name,
[33:23.520 -> 33:25.080] but I haven't got a clue who it was.
[33:25.080 -> 33:27.080] And Max was there as well.
[33:27.080 -> 33:27.920] Who?
[33:27.920 -> 33:28.840] And Max was doing it as well.
[33:28.840 -> 33:30.400] Max who?
[33:30.400 -> 33:31.500] The schnappen.
[33:31.500 -> 33:32.400] No.
[33:32.400 -> 33:33.240] Oh.
[33:33.240 -> 33:34.060] I'm talking about the grandstanding.
[33:34.060 -> 33:36.440] Daniel Ricciardo commentated on the race, I believe,
[33:36.440 -> 33:38.320] throughout the race in the grandstand in Canada.
[33:38.320 -> 33:39.280] Oh, okay.
[33:39.280 -> 33:41.080] With some other guy on Sky Sports.
[33:41.080 -> 33:42.600] So they were trying new things.
[33:42.600 -> 33:44.120] Got it, got it, got it.
[33:44.120 -> 33:47.680] I don't think we're gonna win the vote for the points, no matter what we do.
[33:47.680 -> 33:52.400] There's one thing I love about F1, but it's almost like a double-edged knife,
[33:52.400 -> 33:55.680] whatever you want to call it, whatever that's saying, is the fact that they
[33:56.560 -> 34:01.440] kind of keep the circle very small in terms of who they use on the broadcast.
[34:01.440 -> 34:04.160] I mean, we only watch through Sky, so we don't really know.
[34:04.160 -> 34:05.640] We know it's a bit different for F1
[34:05.640 -> 34:07.120] and then depending on what country you're in,
[34:07.120 -> 34:08.640] obviously different again.
[34:08.640 -> 34:10.520] But the reason I like watching F1
[34:10.520 -> 34:12.680] is because they kind of use all the same faces.
[34:12.680 -> 34:14.680] Yeah, you know who you're listening to.
[34:14.680 -> 34:16.360] But then at the same time,
[34:16.360 -> 34:18.960] I remember you and me watching it last year
[34:18.960 -> 34:22.160] and kind of out of nowhere, there was like Lewis Hamill,
[34:22.160 -> 34:23.720] sorry, there was Max Verstappen
[34:23.720 -> 34:26.720] doing an interview with Crofty. Yep sat on the track on the grid
[34:26.720 -> 34:30.820] What you mean? Yeah, I don't remember. I mean obviously we know Crofty. We love Crofty
[34:30.820 -> 34:33.820] We've had great times with Crofty came on the pod an amazing part
[34:33.820 -> 34:37.640] If you haven't listened to it, check it out on YouTube Spotify or streaming platform in Vegas till 4 a.m
[34:37.640 -> 34:42.640] We got in Vegas till 4 a.m. And I screaming in his ear in for three hours straight. Don't remember a word of what I said
[34:41.600 -> 34:43.400] his ear in for three hours straight, don't remember a word of what I said.
[34:44.720 -> 34:47.540] But I just, and you know, Crofty is, you know,
[34:47.540 -> 34:50.840] he's gonna go down in history as being a legend of F1
[34:50.840 -> 34:52.480] for giving some of the best commentary
[34:52.480 -> 34:53.480] I've ever heard in my life.
[34:53.480 -> 34:56.340] And hopefully following in the steps of Murray Walker,
[34:56.340 -> 35:00.320] but should he really be doing a sit down interview
[35:00.320 -> 35:01.960] on the grid with Max Verstappen?
[35:01.960 -> 35:05.040] I mean, there's no reason why he shouldn't be,
[35:05.040 -> 35:08.360] but, you know, he's the commentator.
[35:08.360 -> 35:10.760] Like, I feel like there could be someone out there
[35:10.760 -> 35:12.680] who's very, very good at interviewing people
[35:12.680 -> 35:13.960] who could have done that.
[35:13.960 -> 35:16.180] I do know what you mean, because it's one of them.
[35:16.180 -> 35:17.720] It's like, should someone stick
[35:17.720 -> 35:19.240] to what everyone knows them as?
[35:19.240 -> 35:21.760] And by the way, this is nothing against Crofty
[35:21.760 -> 35:23.880] because we both, Crofty is amazing.
[35:23.880 -> 35:27.240] And it's like, he should be doing the interviews because he's so good at them yeah but I think
[35:27.240 -> 35:31.280] what we're trying to say is like if someone is known for being the
[35:31.280 -> 35:35.360] commentator and everyone loves them as a commentator should someone else do the
[35:35.360 -> 35:39.800] interview so that they to protect what he has like you know never you would
[35:39.800 -> 35:43.680] never ever have a football commentator come out of that fucking box after a
[35:43.680 -> 35:46.880] match and go down pitch side but an interview the footballer surely not.
[35:46.880 -> 35:49.520] No, most of the commentators,
[35:49.520 -> 35:51.680] well, other than a couple of them.
[35:51.680 -> 35:52.520] Ian Wright.
[35:53.480 -> 35:55.080] He's the only name I know.
[35:55.960 -> 35:57.480] Gary Neve.
[35:57.480 -> 35:59.720] You just said one thing you do love about F1 is that,
[35:59.720 -> 36:02.280] and I will say another thing I do love about F1
[36:02.280 -> 36:04.200] is like it's constantly changing.
[36:04.200 -> 36:05.840] Like I think that's important,
[36:05.840 -> 36:09.780] like to get with like the times and update the sport.
[36:10.920 -> 36:14.280] I don't wanna keep doing comparisons to football,
[36:14.280 -> 36:16.360] but like, cause you've just done one,
[36:16.360 -> 36:19.000] but I have been a football fan my whole life.
[36:19.000 -> 36:20.240] And you've got to think out of nowhere,
[36:20.240 -> 36:23.600] we get goal line technology, VAR.
[36:23.600 -> 36:26.720] That come out of nowhere in a sport that I played
[36:26.720 -> 36:28.520] all my life, I love, out of nowhere,
[36:28.520 -> 36:30.680] a camera is now making a decision.
[36:30.680 -> 36:34.440] It just makes you realize how quickly things could change.
[36:34.440 -> 36:37.180] Like what we're watching now in F1 is amazing,
[36:37.180 -> 36:39.220] but like, I still think they're learning.
[36:39.220 -> 36:40.960] They're still figuring out what works.
[36:40.960 -> 36:43.400] They're still, and it just shows you how quickly
[36:43.400 -> 36:48.900] everything can suddenly flick of a fingers. They're not in control. Look at Friday, was it Friday? They didn't
[36:48.900 -> 36:51.960] even get out for practice one because the CCTV had gone.
[36:51.960 -> 36:54.480] Yeah, we haven't even spoke about that but that's pretty fucked.
[36:54.480 -> 36:58.080] Well, there's nothing F1 could have done, that's just a weather thing. Didn't they say
[36:58.080 -> 36:59.880] it might have been Gary the Greyhound?
[36:59.880 -> 37:00.880] I thought someone...
[37:00.880 -> 37:03.880] Gary the Greyhound, they were wild.
[37:03.880 -> 37:05.560] What are they called?
[37:05.560 -> 37:06.400] Groundhog.
[37:06.400 -> 37:07.220] Groundhog.
[37:07.220 -> 37:09.640] Although I'm fucking calling him a woodchuck from now on.
[37:09.640 -> 37:10.680] Why, why?
[37:10.680 -> 37:12.000] Because, well, as a woodchuck he is.
[37:12.000 -> 37:12.840] They were ducks.
[37:12.840 -> 37:14.320] It's all the same animal.
[37:14.320 -> 37:15.920] Max Verstappen thought he hit a bird.
[37:15.920 -> 37:16.760] Groundhog.
[37:16.760 -> 37:19.000] A woodchuck and a greyhound.
[37:19.000 -> 37:20.600] No, a groundhog.
[37:20.600 -> 37:21.420] A groundhog.
[37:21.420 -> 37:24.960] And a woodchuck and also, there's another name for it too.
[37:24.960 -> 37:25.540] How much wood would a woodchuck a chuck if a woodchuck and also there's another name for it too how much wood
[37:25.540 -> 37:29.360] would a woodchuck a chuck if a woodchuck would chuck how fast would a woodchuck
[37:29.360 -> 37:34.620] drive if a woodchuck could drive fast yeah it's a fucking great question and
[37:34.620 -> 37:38.220] there's be plenty of more on future episodes so guys make sure you're
[37:38.220 -> 37:44.460] following I do want to give a shout out to Lando because on the last lap guy
[37:44.460 -> 37:46.880] literally unzipped his trousers
[37:46.880 -> 37:49.000] and got his nuts out all over Ocon.
[37:49.000 -> 37:50.960] Like he was literally,
[37:50.960 -> 37:53.280] he, on the fucking last lap,
[37:53.280 -> 37:54.480] on the last straight, on the last turn.
[37:54.480 -> 37:56.720] Oh yeah, he was going for him, wasn't he?
[37:56.720 -> 37:58.160] He was really going for it at the end there.
[37:58.160 -> 38:02.520] And I admire that because, you know, why not?
[38:02.520 -> 38:04.920] Why not just go hell for leather on the last lap?
[38:04.920 -> 38:08.100] I think Lando and Oscar are two very lovable people.
[38:08.100 -> 38:10.780] And I do think if that McLaren can sort it out,
[38:10.780 -> 38:12.480] I've said it in multiple pods,
[38:12.480 -> 38:14.720] I do believe they probably have the best driver lineup
[38:14.720 -> 38:17.460] and get a bit of speed in that car.
[38:17.460 -> 38:20.700] It's nice to see Piastri like just in there.
[38:20.700 -> 38:23.720] He's unlucky not to get points today, come 11th.
[38:23.720 -> 38:25.960] It's a shame because he was having a good race.
[38:25.960 -> 38:27.640] The strategy just didn't go.
[38:27.640 -> 38:30.080] Imagine some other teams did Ferrari strategy.
[38:30.080 -> 38:32.120] Ferrari were able to get them points out of that.
[38:32.120 -> 38:34.040] Ferrari really killed it with a strat today.
[38:34.040 -> 38:35.800] And it's strange because Sainz was arguing,
[38:35.800 -> 38:37.560] not arguing, but like on the radio,
[38:37.560 -> 38:40.080] even he wasn't sure what strategy they were doing.
[38:40.080 -> 38:43.360] And Crofty and Brando were talking, weren't they, saying,
[38:43.360 -> 38:46.160] isn't it strange how Ferrari always ask their driver,
[38:46.160 -> 38:47.840] and the drivers usually don't agree
[38:47.840 -> 38:50.040] with what the pit wall was saying?
[38:50.040 -> 38:52.640] But this time they said, stay out, stay out,
[38:52.640 -> 38:54.520] and bloody hell, look at it, they got fourth and fifth,
[38:54.520 -> 38:56.680] and that's incredible considering they started eighth.
[38:56.680 -> 38:58.440] And that is incredible, yeah, fair play to them.
[38:58.440 -> 39:00.400] Like, Ferrari, well done.
[39:00.400 -> 39:03.400] So looking ahead now, well, that's Canada down and dusted.
[39:03.400 -> 39:05.600] That's another race of the season,
[39:05.600 -> 39:07.180] which just seems to have flown by.
[39:07.180 -> 39:09.400] I mean, I don't know how many races we are in now.
[39:09.400 -> 39:11.440] Do you have that information at your fingertips?
[39:11.440 -> 39:13.400] I don't have the exact amount of races we're in.
[39:13.400 -> 39:16.400] I mean, I'd say it's at least sort of like six or seven now.
[39:16.400 -> 39:17.240] Yeah.
[39:17.240 -> 39:18.640] We're looking ahead to Austria now.
[39:18.640 -> 39:20.120] Yeah, we've got a week off coming up
[39:20.120 -> 39:21.320] and then we're straight into Austria,
[39:21.320 -> 39:22.720] which is the Pitstop fastest lap.
[39:22.720 -> 39:23.560] Red Bull Ring.
[39:23.560 -> 39:25.040] Yours and mine favorite track. We know the Ascot Austria, which is the pit stop fastest lap. Yours and mine's favourite track.
[39:25.040 -> 39:27.040] One of our favourite tracks.
[39:27.040 -> 39:30.640] The fastest driver around the Red Bull wing in history.
[39:30.640 -> 39:32.160] Oh my god, guys!
[39:32.160 -> 39:33.920] As fucking Austria is coming up,
[39:33.920 -> 39:36.960] we can compare all the times from our leaderboard to their quali times.
[39:36.960 -> 39:38.320] Oh my god, we actually can!
[39:38.320 -> 39:42.160] So Oskar's currently out top with a 1.05.931,
[39:42.160 -> 39:45.040] so can he actually better that in real life?
[39:45.040 -> 39:50.480] I don't reckon he will. Can anyone beat Freddie Hunt? Imagine Freddie Hunt's time on the lap
[39:50.480 -> 39:54.160] is quicker than- Can anyone beat Fabio Bocca with a 107.783
[39:54.160 -> 39:59.760] full over full traction? Who knows? What I do know is that there's nine points between
[39:59.760 -> 40:10.240] Sergio Perez who's in second place and Alonso who's in third third position. Okay so really close. Really really dang close now you know Perez obviously not
[40:10.240 -> 40:15.080] had the best couple of races can he shift this mindset and shake Alonso if
[40:15.080 -> 40:19.000] there's gonna be anyone on your tail the last person you want it to be is Alonso.
[40:19.000 -> 40:24.400] So now it's gonna it's gonna heat up. I've also noticed in one of the
[40:24.400 -> 40:25.680] garages,
[40:25.680 -> 40:28.080] don't wanna mention any names on this episode
[40:28.080 -> 40:29.160] cause I need to proof check it,
[40:29.160 -> 40:30.000] so don't throw me under the bus.
[40:30.000 -> 40:31.480] Can you mouth it to me?
[40:31.480 -> 40:36.280] But we've started to notice people that we know
[40:36.280 -> 40:38.560] moving between garages.
[40:38.560 -> 40:40.640] We know, so you've noticed someone
[40:40.640 -> 40:42.400] who I didn't even see on the TV.
[40:42.400 -> 40:47.040] No, come on, stick with me, it's meant to be our show, not Jake vs Fab.
[40:47.040 -> 40:49.200] I'm with you, but this has not fucking anything
[40:49.200 -> 40:50.040] to do with me.
[40:50.040 -> 40:51.480] Okay, I definitely have seen him.
[40:51.480 -> 40:53.560] This guy I knew worked at another team
[40:53.560 -> 40:55.320] and now he's working at another team.
[40:55.320 -> 40:57.480] And he looks like he's got an important job there.
[40:57.480 -> 40:58.920] Wait, is this the Dan Padgett story
[40:58.920 -> 40:59.760] or is this the guy from Red Bull's story?
[40:59.760 -> 41:01.440] No, no, I do think I saw Dan Padgett
[41:01.440 -> 41:02.280] all over the place.
[41:02.280 -> 41:03.120] It's the guy from Red Bull's story, isn't it?
[41:03.120 -> 41:05.200] No, it's not the guy from Red Bull's story. It't it? No, it's not the guy from Red Bull's.
[41:05.200 -> 41:06.020] It's not!
[41:06.020 -> 41:07.840] Right, Jake has come out,
[41:07.840 -> 41:09.280] a Pit Stop exclusive,
[41:09.280 -> 41:12.120] and he reckons that a guy who was working at Red Bull,
[41:12.120 -> 41:13.200] who we know and we've met,
[41:13.200 -> 41:15.320] is now working at Haas.
[41:15.320 -> 41:19.500] I think it could be a Pit Stop exclusive, for sure.
[41:19.500 -> 41:23.200] But I'm gonna double check the information, all right?
[41:23.200 -> 41:25.680] I definitely have seen that bald guy at Red Bull.
[41:25.680 -> 41:26.520] Okay.
[41:26.520 -> 41:27.800] That's the only way I remember him.
[41:27.800 -> 41:29.200] Cause I know that he was bald.
[41:29.200 -> 41:31.400] I love how you know him as the bald guy as well.
[41:31.400 -> 41:33.560] I don't know his name,
[41:33.560 -> 41:35.960] but he was really nice when we met him.
[41:35.960 -> 41:37.560] Everyone's been nice enough when we've met.
[41:37.560 -> 41:39.440] It's just a shame that we haven't been out this year
[41:39.440 -> 41:41.000] and kind of seen everyone again.
[41:41.000 -> 41:42.680] To be fair, I've actually noticed multiple people
[41:42.680 -> 41:43.800] moving between teams and that.
[41:43.800 -> 41:45.260] Maybe we should talk about that on the pod.
[41:45.260 -> 41:48.920] Because there is people within the paddock that we know as friends that have moved between
[41:48.920 -> 41:50.880] teams and we don't always talk about it.
[41:50.880 -> 41:54.200] Even outside of the team, someone that we know from a different company has just moved
[41:54.200 -> 41:55.920] over to Williams.
[41:55.920 -> 41:58.600] People then jump from Formula E back into other things as well.
[41:58.600 -> 41:59.600] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[41:59.600 -> 42:03.320] So, kind of the whole racing world, I guess, is all kind of linked up in a way.
[42:03.320 -> 42:05.360] I think that's what you get on the Pitstop pod.
[42:05.360 -> 42:09.800] People don't come here to listen to understand this about that or this about that.
[42:09.800 -> 42:13.000] They're just looking for that little 1% of gold, you know?
[42:13.000 -> 42:15.000] That little 1% of...
[42:15.000 -> 42:16.000] The diamond in the rough.
[42:16.000 -> 42:17.000] I wouldn't have got that anywhere else.
[42:17.000 -> 42:18.000] My god, is there a lot of rough.
[42:18.000 -> 42:24.000] I have to tell myself that because otherwise I'm like, why do people listen to this?
[42:24.000 -> 42:25.200] I still don't know
[42:25.200 -> 42:29.360] but ladies and gents thanks for listening anyway thanks for listening to
[42:29.360 -> 42:32.240] our Canadian roundup. Hope you've enjoyed the last couple of weeks because
[42:32.240 -> 42:35.300] we've been bang on it with there's been an episode there every Monday morning
[42:35.300 -> 42:39.440] and every Thursday morning and this week you even got a bonus so that was three
[42:39.440 -> 42:45.280] episodes. Yeah and Fab was up till 3 a.m. the other night uploading the bloody Freddy Hunt video to YouTube.
[42:45.280 -> 42:48.160] Yeah, because it was an hour and ten minutes. We had to give it ages to render.
[42:48.160 -> 42:49.760] Yeah, and then I couldn't sleep.
[42:49.760 -> 42:54.960] No, but I have loved the episodes recently. We have another guest this week. We'll be out on
[42:54.960 -> 42:59.680] Saturday. Excited for that one. We're filming on Wednesday. Make sure you're following our
[42:59.680 -> 43:03.920] Instagram at Pitstop because if we ask out for anything, that is your chance to get involved.
[43:03.920 -> 43:06.040] Yep, definitely.
[43:06.040 -> 43:08.240] And just constantly just let us know
[43:08.240 -> 43:09.280] who you'd love to see on the pod.
[43:09.280 -> 43:11.360] We do see the people that you recommend.
[43:11.360 -> 43:13.840] Some of them are a bit hard to reach.
[43:13.840 -> 43:18.200] Other people just wouldn't be allowed to come on.
[43:18.200 -> 43:21.080] So it's tough, but this year F1's a lot stricter
[43:21.080 -> 43:24.240] with what they want their people doing.
[43:24.240 -> 43:25.720] So I feel like we
[43:25.720 -> 43:30.720] kind of wormed our way in last year and got a few people on the sneak.
[43:30.720 -> 43:34.920] We definitely did a few things on a sneak last year so this year is everything's by the book
[43:34.920 -> 43:39.280] everything gets done properly because that's the new era.
[43:39.280 -> 43:44.000] Throw the fucking book away that's what I say and let Fitz stop coming!
[43:44.000 -> 43:48.000] Burn the rule book of f1 guys
[43:48.000 -> 43:49.600] thanks so much for tuning in we love
[43:49.600 -> 43:51.480] you thanks for listening we care about

[43:54.960 -> 43:59.200] well Jake Jake clearly fucking doesn't
[43:59.200 -> 44:01.840] do you not care about your fans of course

[44:04.640 -> 44:05.200] yeah good man what is this outro why Do you not care about your fans? Of course I care about everyone! I love you all!
[44:06.320 -> 44:09.760] Yeah, good man. What is this outro? Why have you done that?
[44:09.760 -> 44:10.560] Done what?
[44:10.560 -> 44:13.200] Just say thank you for listening, you're all great.
[44:13.200 -> 44:14.720] But what would you like me to say?
[44:14.720 -> 44:16.960] No thanks for listening and I hate all of you.
[44:16.960 -> 44:19.840] Alright, you do it. You just finish it, I can't be honest.
[44:19.840 -> 44:22.240] No, no, no, this is your thing. This is your end bit.
[44:22.240 -> 44:23.280] You like to do the end bit.
[44:23.280 -> 44:24.160] You just do it!
[44:24.160 -> 44:26.000] I do the intro, you do the little bullshit outro.
[44:26.000 -> 44:29.000] Woah, thank you so much for listening. We love you all so much.
[44:29.000 -> 44:32.000] See, now there's no passion in that.
[44:32.000 -> 44:34.000] That's because you literally throw me under the bus.
[44:34.000 -> 44:38.000] People would read through that. There's just nothing behind, no weight behind it.
[44:38.000 -> 44:45.360] Guys, honestly, thank you so much for listening to the 100 plus podcast episodes that we have done.
