[02:48.040 -> 02:52.920] together a bit of a Brazilian special. He's pieced together a Brazilian feast mate.
[02:52.920 -> 02:57.640] It comes with a dance and everything. Yeah? Yeah you can see the dance after or you
[02:57.640 -> 03:01.440] can book me for private parties. It's a big rates weekend. What are your rates?
[03:01.440 -> 03:05.000] For you? Mate's rates. Wow.
[03:05.000 -> 03:06.000] Clothes on or off, it varies mate.
[03:06.000 -> 03:07.000] Come on.
[03:07.000 -> 03:11.440] As we know there's been a big rumour going round in F1, which we will get into because
[03:11.440 -> 03:13.980] I know you're very excited to talk about it.
[03:13.980 -> 03:18.960] It does involve Alonso and it does involve Red Bull, but we're not talking about it yet.
[03:18.960 -> 03:19.960] Hold your tongue.
[03:19.960 -> 03:21.120] Nearly flew into it there mate.
[03:21.120 -> 03:22.120] Hold your tongue.
[03:22.120 -> 03:24.240] First of all we've got a couple of shout outs.
[03:24.240 -> 03:27.360] Shout out Gustavo Ville, who listens to the podcast.
[03:27.360 -> 03:29.480] Now, whilst we're saying it's the last sprint race
[03:29.480 -> 03:32.240] of the weekend, all year we've been saying
[03:32.240 -> 03:34.160] reverse grid would be great for sprint.
[03:34.160 -> 03:34.980] No.
[03:34.980 -> 03:38.240] He says, what about this for an idea?
[03:38.240 -> 03:40.940] Only one driver per team can race,
[03:40.940 -> 03:42.480] but you can't do two in a row.
[03:43.440 -> 03:44.520] Can't do two in a row.
[03:44.520 -> 03:45.380] No.
[03:45.380 -> 03:46.200] Sprints.
[03:46.200 -> 03:47.600] Yeah. That's what he's saying.
[03:47.600 -> 03:49.440] If there was a sprint every weekend,
[03:49.440 -> 03:51.040] what about if only one driver race?
[03:51.040 -> 03:52.920] So 10 drivers on the grid.
[03:52.920 -> 03:54.120] It's not a bad idea at all.
[03:54.120 -> 03:56.480] It could be pretty interesting, couldn't it?
[03:56.480 -> 03:57.840] It would really open the race up,
[03:57.840 -> 03:59.720] but certain races would only want to race
[03:59.720 -> 04:01.320] against other people.
[04:01.320 -> 04:03.240] You'd like not want to race in that race.
[04:03.240 -> 04:04.480] If Max was racing.
[04:04.480 -> 04:05.440] They'd want to, there should be like race if max was racing they'd wanna they should
[04:05.440 -> 04:09.520] be like a like a time limit of when they decide who's going up and then the other teams can make
[04:09.520 -> 04:13.760] a judgment call on it you know you got any ideas for sprint seven and that like if sergeant is
[04:13.760 -> 04:18.240] going over albion you think oh fuck it i'll just i'll chuck stroll out we won't waste alonso for
[04:18.240 -> 04:30.640] that one but you know well will alonso even be there next year? Will Stroh even be there next year? Will Aston Martin even exist next year? Find out in today's episode. Find out in today's episode. Find
[04:30.640 -> 04:39.840] out after break. Find out in this episode like we know. Shout out to Prakrita Gar. That
[04:39.840 -> 04:51.520] is probably the worst pronunciation of your name ever. Sorry. That's how you say it. Prakita. Okay, I'll leave that one to you. Gar, sorry about that. Either way, you sent
[04:51.520 -> 04:54.560] in a great message saying that you love the podcast because we bring you closer
[04:54.560 -> 04:57.840] to people behind the scenes and it really opens it up for new fans. I saw
[04:57.840 -> 05:02.320] that message. So that is great to read. So I did, going back to the Indonesian
[05:02.320 -> 05:05.040] thing, I got a DM. I didn't reply to it.
[05:05.040 -> 05:05.880] Okay.
[05:05.880 -> 05:07.160] He said, hello Fabio.
[05:07.160 -> 05:08.280] And that was it.
[05:08.280 -> 05:09.120] Oh really?
[05:09.120 -> 05:10.760] It was just that and I left it,
[05:10.760 -> 05:12.560] cause it's a bit strange receiving a DM
[05:12.560 -> 05:14.360] that just says like, hey, hi Fab.
[05:14.360 -> 05:15.520] I think that's kind of exciting.
[05:15.520 -> 05:17.640] And then the next one was something like,
[05:17.640 -> 05:20.680] don't ignore me or acknowledge me or something like that.
[05:20.680 -> 05:23.280] Oh, so he did read it and you have ignored them.
[05:23.280 -> 05:25.040] It said, shit's about to heat up.
[05:25.040 -> 05:26.140] Cause then they said,
[05:27.140 -> 05:30.040] are you familiar with Indonesia or something like that?
[05:30.040 -> 05:31.600] Or what do you remember about Indonesia?
[05:31.600 -> 05:34.240] And I thought, what is this person going on about?
[05:34.240 -> 05:35.840] Did you meet them when you were out there?
[05:35.840 -> 05:38.040] No, I haven't been to Indonesia.
[05:38.040 -> 05:39.560] Where did you go?
[05:39.560 -> 05:41.280] Nowhere, I received a DM.
[05:41.280 -> 05:42.740] With the band?
[05:42.740 -> 05:43.760] Oh, India.
[05:43.760 -> 05:44.600] Oh, okay.
[05:44.600 -> 05:45.200] Two very different countries. Yeah, yeah. Just the band? Oh, India. Oh, okay. Two very different countries.
[05:45.200 -> 05:46.200] Yeah, yeah.
[05:46.200 -> 05:48.200] Just wasn't sure where you went.
[05:48.200 -> 05:54.360] Yeah, so it must be our one Indonesian fan, so sorry for not replying, but it's a bit
[05:54.360 -> 05:56.640] strange to get a DM like that, but hello!
[05:56.640 -> 05:59.760] I've been getting loads of DMs recently from fake accounts.
[05:59.760 -> 06:04.320] Let's put this as a warning out there to everyone online and on social media.
[06:04.320 -> 06:05.240] There is an unbelievable
[06:05.240 -> 06:09.500] amount of fake accounts now that will message you with a fake verified tick pretending that
[06:09.500 -> 06:12.200] they're gonna invest your money. Ignore everyone.
[06:12.200 -> 06:16.200] The thing is, what I want to know right, is there are obviously profiles that have been
[06:16.200 -> 06:17.200] stolen.
[06:17.200 -> 06:18.200] Yeah, yeah, with loads of followers.
[06:18.200 -> 06:22.700] They've got like 300 to like 3 million followers and they'll have like the sickest pictures
[06:22.700 -> 06:28.840] of them on a jet and they'll be like, hi Fab I've got an amazing offer for you DM me to find out
[06:28.840 -> 06:31.760] but the worst thing is they buy all their likes so all the pictures have
[06:31.760 -> 06:35.480] like 30,000 likes and they buy all their comments so all the comments are just
[06:35.480 -> 06:38.920] like generated ad-botted comments to make them look like real accounts and
[06:38.920 -> 06:42.600] haven't uploaded since like June no they're actually not the only people
[06:42.600 -> 06:48.280] buying likes and comments there is a Formula One podcast that is also doing that, but we won't expose them
[06:48.280 -> 06:52.120] live on the podcast. Williams have done some breaking news.
[06:52.400 -> 06:53.960] Williams have released some breaking news.
[06:53.960 -> 07:00.480] Yep, in Abu Dhabi, Zak O'Sullivan and Franco Colapinto will be racing in FP1,
[07:00.480 -> 07:02.320] which is huge for both the young drivers.
[07:02.320 -> 07:03.680] So a massive clap for them.
[07:03.680 -> 07:06.800] This I'm really excited about because I know nothing.
[07:06.800 -> 07:08.440] Try and double clap here because you didn't clap.
[07:08.440 -> 07:12.200] I know nothing about Zako Sullivan so why don't you tell me everything about him.
[07:12.200 -> 07:14.760] Two young drivers, Zako Sullivan is an F2 at the moment.
[07:14.760 -> 07:15.760] No he's not.
[07:15.760 -> 07:18.200] As we know, is he an F3 at the moment?
[07:18.200 -> 07:19.200] Maybe you're right.
[07:19.200 -> 07:20.760] But he was the F3 champion.
[07:20.760 -> 07:24.080] Yeah, and from what I can see Franco is also an F2.
[07:24.080 -> 07:28.000] However I don't remember watching him in F2 so I think he may have just made the step up for this year.
[07:28.000 -> 07:29.000] Okay.
[07:29.000 -> 07:33.000] Mate, we can't follow F4, F3, F2 and F1 grids, name by name.
[07:33.000 -> 07:35.000] You could if you really cared about it.
[07:35.000 -> 07:36.000] Really?
[07:36.000 -> 07:38.000] If you really, like, if you were doing your job properly.
[07:38.000 -> 07:39.000] That many drivers?
[07:39.000 -> 07:42.000] Says the guy sat there with absolutely fuck all for the episode.
[07:42.000 -> 07:44.000] If you were good. I've just been editing a video, mate.
[07:44.000 -> 07:46.000] Yeah, and it's good as well.
[07:46.000 -> 07:48.000] Thank you. It actually is a really good video, I can't lie.
[07:48.000 -> 07:50.000] I can't wait till it goes out. It's going out soon guys.
[07:50.000 -> 07:52.000] It's like a tar block. It is a little bit delayed though isn't it?
[07:52.000 -> 07:54.000] It's been a bit delayed but it's, I don't
[07:54.000 -> 07:56.000] care if it's next Christmas it's going out. Yeah it will come out.
[07:56.000 -> 07:58.000] Our little vlog, as you guys know, we love making
[07:58.000 -> 08:00.000] the vlogs. Max Verstappen
[08:00.000 -> 08:02.000] has broken a new record.
[08:02.000 -> 08:04.000] I like to tell everyone the records that he's broken.
[08:04.000 -> 08:09.460] Yeah. He has become... 30 barbeque wings in under an hour 30 barbecue wings in under an hour. How did you know?
[08:10.400 -> 08:14.400] He is the first driver in Formula One history to lead
[08:15.080 -> 08:19.180] 800 laps in a single season meaning he has led
[08:20.120 -> 08:22.120] 74% of the laps so far this year
[08:22.840 -> 08:28.880] beating Sebastian Vettel's record of 65% in 2011.
[08:28.880 -> 08:30.680] Now that is impressive.
[08:30.680 -> 08:31.680] That's pretty...
[08:31.680 -> 08:32.680] What was Vettel's record?
[08:32.680 -> 08:36.400] Vettel was 65% in 2011 and Max's 74.
[08:36.400 -> 08:38.920] So I wonder how many laps there are in a season.
[08:38.920 -> 08:42.600] Well I'm pretty sure this was like 800 out of 1100 something.
[08:42.600 -> 08:46.160] So it's been like 1100 laps already. It's not really enough is it?
[08:46.160 -> 08:51.480] I think there's more than enough races mate. 800 sounds like a lot but when you figure out you know.
[08:51.480 -> 08:57.520] Do you not think there might be too many races? From a fan's point of view it's amazing. This
[08:57.520 -> 09:01.880] year I feel like F1's been on non-stop. Yeah. I don't really feel like we've had much of a break
[09:01.880 -> 09:07.480] which is great because the year before I felt like it was a little there was a period of time when it was like, uh-huh, you know
[09:07.560 -> 09:11.920] But well, we didn't have China. Well next year's gonna be even more manic. Yeah, cuz we missed two races
[09:11.920 -> 09:13.680] We missed Imola and China
[09:13.680 -> 09:16.200] True true. Yeah, there was a bit of a break this year, wasn't it?
[09:16.200 -> 09:22.120] Yeah, when when they weren't on but do you not think maybe like 20 would be the perfect number as a
[09:23.280 -> 09:25.880] Viewer it doesn't really bother me.
[09:25.880 -> 09:27.160] I don't mind if there's more or not.
[09:27.160 -> 09:29.480] I'd love it if there was 30 as a viewer,
[09:29.480 -> 09:31.920] but these are real people, you know?
[09:31.920 -> 09:33.600] Yeah.
[09:33.600 -> 09:34.440] Nah, I like it.
[09:34.440 -> 09:37.240] I just want to see more variation on the tracks.
[09:37.240 -> 09:39.800] Like Matt and Tommy were talking about another circuit.
[09:39.800 -> 09:40.920] Can't remember what it is now.
[09:40.920 -> 09:42.120] Cause it's quite funny.
[09:42.120 -> 09:42.960] You talk about Matt and Tommy?
[09:42.960 -> 09:50.680] Yeah, because last pod, right? We, we and Jake are talking about how amazing the Mexico Grand Prix circuit is.
[09:50.680 -> 09:54.680] We're like the circuit's amazing, there was so much action on every part of the track.
[09:54.680 -> 09:56.680] The best podcast on the calendar I think I said.
[09:56.680 -> 09:58.680] The best podcast on the calendar, alright.
[09:58.680 -> 10:00.680] Sorry, the best track on the calendar.
[10:00.680 -> 10:02.680] Manto have basically just gone straight in and said that it's the worst track on the calendar.
[10:02.680 -> 10:05.740] And to be fair they have have a point, right?
[10:05.740 -> 10:10.980] The low-speed corners are a bit boring to watch and I do get that but I don't know man
[10:10.980 -> 10:15.700] I just thought we saw some interesting overtakes on different parts of the circuit. I'd love to know what people at home think
[10:16.100 -> 10:19.100] Where would you rank Mexico on your list?
[10:19.100 -> 10:24.660] I can see why they would say that like it isn't necessarily the best for racing
[10:24.700 -> 10:25.100] But I love the whole Mexico race weekend like the fact there's so many fans there why they would say that. Like it isn't necessarily the best for racing,
[10:25.100 -> 10:28.000] but I love the whole Mexico race weekend.
[10:28.000 -> 10:30.480] Like the fact that so many fans there
[10:30.480 -> 10:33.040] and Matt and Tommy were saying it's good for F1
[10:33.040 -> 10:34.440] because you see the cars more.
[10:34.440 -> 10:36.240] They're going slower through the grandstands
[10:36.240 -> 10:37.960] so it's good for the fans.
[10:37.960 -> 10:41.200] But then racing wise, not the greatest.
[10:41.200 -> 10:43.880] Yeah, it's not like they were talking about the S's,
[10:43.880 -> 10:44.960] the S.
[10:44.960 -> 10:49.040] It's not like maggots and beckets where you can, as you know, where you can fly through it.
[10:49.040 -> 10:52.800] No, well the thing is, I'm quick through Mexico and quick through maggots and beckets, so
[10:52.800 -> 10:55.680] it doesn't bother me which track I'm racing on, you know?
[10:55.680 -> 10:56.560] True, very true.
[10:56.560 -> 11:00.600] I am waiting for my call-up, no F1 teams put me in for FP1 yet, which is strange.
[11:00.600 -> 11:03.360] I thought you were Jarno Otmir's reserve driver.
[11:03.360 -> 11:04.360] Yeah, I am.
[11:04.360 -> 11:05.040] Might be something to do with
[11:05.040 -> 11:09.760] the fact I can't drive a manual car. We've got a few more little bits of breaking news here before
[11:09.760 -> 11:17.440] we jump into the main story of the episode. Okay no we don't have any more breaking news,
[11:17.440 -> 11:22.240] yes we do, we do and it's a big one ladies and gentlemen settle down, breaking news.
[11:23.060 -> 11:26.620] Ladies and gentlemen, settle down, breaking news. Mercedes confirm chief technical officer,
[11:26.620 -> 11:29.440] Mike Elliott has left his role.
[11:29.440 -> 11:30.940] Dum, dum, dum.
[11:30.940 -> 11:33.860] Now Fab, why don't you tell the people at home
[11:33.860 -> 11:38.260] who Mercedes technical officer Mike Elliott is?
[11:38.260 -> 11:41.660] He is the chief technical officer.
[11:41.660 -> 11:42.500] Yes.
[11:42.500 -> 11:43.320] Which, mate.
[11:43.320 -> 11:44.160] What does that mean?
[11:44.160 -> 11:46.240] I've got a frog in my throat today right now
[11:46.240 -> 11:49.760] oh my god sorry for the hermit it's not
[11:49.760 -> 11:52.120] called hermit the frog is it?
[11:52.120 -> 11:55.320] Kermit. Who sounds like Kermit?
[11:55.320 -> 11:58.480] Sergio Perez. Does he? Sounds like Kermit the
[11:58.480 -> 12:02.760] frog yeah. Do his voice. Nah. Okay.
[12:02.760 -> 12:04.520] To be honest with you I don't really know what
[12:04.520 -> 12:05.000] he does.
[12:05.000 -> 12:08.500] I imagine he's probably in charge of the technical side of things.
[12:08.500 -> 12:10.500] I can't lie, I don't know what he does either, but it says
[12:10.500 -> 12:13.500] the 49 year old who has been with Mercedes since 2012
[12:13.500 -> 12:16.000] will now depart the Brackley-based outfit.
[12:16.000 -> 12:19.500] What I would say is that if he's been there for the last 11 years,
[12:19.500 -> 12:22.500] he probably plays quite an integral role in the team.
[12:22.500 -> 12:23.500] Love that word.
[12:23.500 -> 12:28.760] And that you have to pose the question, why are Mercedes getting rid of him? You do. You
[12:28.760 -> 12:32.560] know I mean is he choosing to leave? Have they been fighting to keep him this
[12:32.560 -> 12:47.200] whole time? Is he like you know... Click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click that name Michael Massey's in my head. No, not Michael Massey. Adrian Newey, is he the Adrian Newey of Mercedes in a way?
[12:47.200 -> 12:49.800] You know, I know he's not the same role exactly,
[12:49.800 -> 12:53.640] but you know, is he gonna, Mercedes are at a point
[12:53.640 -> 12:56.000] where they need to like really improve next year.
[12:56.000 -> 12:57.760] And so I wonder whether getting rid of this guy
[12:57.760 -> 12:59.080] is gonna have an effect on that.
[12:59.080 -> 12:59.920] Yeah.
[12:59.920 -> 13:00.880] Is it a devastating loss?
[13:00.880 -> 13:02.680] Well, if it's big enough for them to do a news article
[13:02.680 -> 13:04.920] on it, you'd kind of assume that he's a big dog.
[13:04.920 -> 13:05.840] Do you know what I mean? Like they're not to do a news article on it you'd kind of assume that he's a big dog do you know what I mean like they're not
[13:05.840 -> 13:09.280] gonna write a news article on Sky Sports about everyone leaving because imagine
[13:09.280 -> 13:15.080] how many people join these teams every day and leave so if he's leaving you can
[13:15.080 -> 13:19.840] only assume he is quite important to the team. Yeah he must be yeah. But are they hiring
[13:19.840 -> 13:23.120] someone new to replace him? Mate I'm glad you asked because I don't have a clue
[13:23.120 -> 13:25.320] there is another rumor going around though.
[13:25.320 -> 13:26.320] Right.
[13:26.320 -> 13:29.420] Let's get stuck straight into it because all year, for a joke, you have been saying
[13:29.420 -> 13:30.420] Fernando Alonso to Red Bull.
[13:30.420 -> 13:31.780] This has not been a joke.
[13:31.780 -> 13:33.900] I've been deadly serious this whole time.
[13:33.900 -> 13:37.260] Today, Fernando Alonso is trending on Twitter.
[13:37.260 -> 13:39.760] Everyone is talking about this rumour.
[13:39.760 -> 13:43.220] The rumour consists of two parts from what I've seen.
[13:43.220 -> 13:45.220] It consists of Lawrence selling Aston Martin and also consists of Fernando parts from what I've seen it consists of Lawrence selling
[13:45.220 -> 13:50.860] Aston Martin and also consists of Fernando Alonso getting into the Red Bull
[13:50.860 -> 13:55.700] well I would really love to know where this rumor has come from because I
[13:55.700 -> 14:01.200] haven't heard anyone else say this garbage apart from me yeah all year so
[14:01.200 -> 14:07.960] there must be some sort of like yeah there might be actually from you it's from it's actually from you. It's from you. Someone has gone in the paddock, some
[14:07.960 -> 14:11.720] high up dog has listened to the podcast and thought, oh then maybe that's happening then.
[14:11.720 -> 14:15.840] Let's stir the pot. And assume that we would know and we've started it, it's all from us.
[14:15.840 -> 14:20.200] I would love it. If that was the case, I would absolutely love it. I haven't been talking
[14:20.200 -> 14:25.400] out my arse all year. I've been deadly serious that he deserves that seat in Red Bull.
[14:25.400 -> 14:27.840] Like I said, last pod mate, there's a lot of young viewers
[14:27.840 -> 14:29.560] who might not understand how good
[14:29.560 -> 14:31.060] Fernando Alonso actually is.
[14:31.060 -> 14:33.320] They see him as an older guy and they think,
[14:33.320 -> 14:35.680] meh, you know, maybe he needs to retire
[14:35.680 -> 14:38.960] because there is rumors that he should retire as well,
[14:38.960 -> 14:40.360] even though he's denied them.
[14:40.360 -> 14:43.120] And he said he wants to keep racing for as long as possible.
[14:43.120 -> 14:46.400] But I don't think, all the OG F1 fans will know
[14:46.400 -> 14:47.660] that he's the G,
[14:47.660 -> 14:51.040] but I don't think a lot of people fully understand.
[14:51.040 -> 14:53.240] So I think that's where a lot of like the comments,
[14:53.240 -> 14:55.920] cause especially online people who are commenting
[14:55.920 -> 14:58.700] and spreading rumors, probably a younger group of people
[14:58.700 -> 15:00.800] like you and me and younger.
[15:00.800 -> 15:03.640] So I don't know, mate.
[15:03.640 -> 15:04.460] I really don't know.
[15:04.460 -> 15:05.360] I mean, I would love to see it
[15:05.360 -> 15:08.120] happen. Yeah well we know the Aston Martin rumor could be true because
[15:08.120 -> 15:11.480] Lawrence was looking to sell the team whether he does or doesn't the rumor
[15:11.480 -> 15:16.920] still stands of a lot of people think Perez's seat is done now do you think
[15:16.920 -> 15:21.800] Max and Alonso is a good pairing and how do you think they would work together?
[15:21.800 -> 15:25.240] I think Max and Alonso is a great pairing.
[15:25.240 -> 15:27.600] However, when you have someone like Max,
[15:27.600 -> 15:29.440] dominant figure in a team,
[15:29.440 -> 15:32.320] you know, secondary driver has to be quiet.
[15:32.320 -> 15:34.360] They have to sort of, you know, step back,
[15:34.360 -> 15:35.200] let him do his thing.
[15:35.200 -> 15:38.000] Would normally be a younger driver, learning.
[15:38.000 -> 15:39.320] Alonso ain't doing that.
[15:39.320 -> 15:42.160] You can't bring in Fernando Alonso and go learn from Max.
[15:42.160 -> 15:43.920] Alonso just isn't gonna keep quiet.
[15:43.920 -> 15:49.120] He's gonna ruffle some feathers, mate. He's gonna put his fist straight through that cherry pie.
[15:49.120 -> 15:53.840] He would be going there to win, wouldn't he? He would absolutely be going there to win.
[15:53.840 -> 15:59.600] And when you put it into comparison, realistically, Sergio Pera's in a Red Bull to what Fernando
[15:59.600 -> 16:03.600] Alonso could probably do in a Red Bull, Red Bull would be getting a driver that's probably
[16:03.600 -> 16:07.520] twice as good as Pera, surely. And they have the money for it. I know.
[16:07.520 -> 16:10.960] They're the best team on the grid so surely Alonso would want to go there.
[16:10.960 -> 16:15.720] Mm-hmm. And I think that those two drivers in particular, they're very
[16:15.720 -> 16:20.520] alike, you know, their driving styles are very alike. If they ever were fighting at
[16:20.520 -> 16:24.840] the front of the grid, I don't think they're gonna come in contact. I reckon
[16:24.840 -> 16:27.300] they both have enough skill and enough finesse.
[16:27.300 -> 16:28.120] That is true.
[16:28.120 -> 16:28.960] To just-
[16:28.960 -> 16:30.420] We've seen it from Alonso where he can race
[16:30.420 -> 16:32.060] right side by side.
[16:32.060 -> 16:33.260] Like some drivers look a bit,
[16:33.260 -> 16:34.660] you're a bit like, oh, they're going to crash.
[16:34.660 -> 16:37.620] But Alonso is very clued with that car, isn't he?
[16:37.620 -> 16:40.380] He would be great to watch race alongside Max.
[16:40.380 -> 16:41.540] But then I, like I said,
[16:41.540 -> 16:43.860] the second driver is normally younger.
[16:43.860 -> 16:45.240] If Red Bull put Alonzo in
[16:45.680 -> 16:51.660] They're then in a tricky situation with like Lawson because Lawson came out in public and said he won't be going anywhere
[16:51.660 -> 16:56.100] That isn't to do with Red Bull. He said I'm staying with Red Bull. I'm waiting
[16:56.100 -> 16:59.760] Yeah, that's what he's come out and said a couple of days ago, and then that makes you think
[17:00.440 -> 17:05.040] How would he take that if he's gone into everyone and shown that he's quick and
[17:05.040 -> 17:09.480] then Red Bull go and sign Alonzo and he's just like sat out the car again
[17:09.480 -> 17:13.400] it's Alonzo though, it's Alonzo it's like if you went to the club with your girl
[17:13.400 -> 17:17.880] and then what girl? like you walk into your club with your imaginary girlfriend
[17:17.880 -> 17:20.720] thank you there we go glad you cleared that up and then like Justin Bieber walks in and he
[17:20.720 -> 17:25.080] says I'm taking your girl you'd be be like, fair enough. Yeah. Can I get a picture? No worries.
[17:25.080 -> 17:27.360] Can you buy me a drink as well?
[17:27.360 -> 17:28.200] See you later.
[17:28.200 -> 17:29.240] You would just, you would,
[17:29.240 -> 17:32.000] you would roll over like a dog and give it up.
[17:32.000 -> 17:35.240] I suppose maybe a good comparison would be like
[17:35.240 -> 17:37.800] in the football world, like Ronaldo wins Saudi Arabia.
[17:37.800 -> 17:40.080] You sign one big name.
[17:40.080 -> 17:42.120] It's good for everything.
[17:42.120 -> 17:46.800] Maybe Alonso to Red Bull would not only be good for Alonso,
[17:46.800 -> 17:52.400] but amazing for Red Bull. Let's not get it twisted, his days are limited, he's getting older, he's in
[17:52.400 -> 17:57.200] his 40s I believe, you know, he hasn't got, he's got time left, but he hasn't got, you know, he
[17:57.200 -> 18:03.120] hasn't got another 5-10 years in him, I don't think, so let him go out on a high, let him go out and
[18:03.120 -> 18:06.640] get one last championship for himself in that Red Bull.
[18:06.640 -> 18:09.080] I don't think there's been anyone in the history of F1
[18:09.080 -> 18:13.000] that has done that, stepped away from winning championships
[18:13.000 -> 18:16.040] for that period of time and then come back and win one.
[18:16.040 -> 18:16.960] Be amazing.
[18:16.960 -> 18:17.780] Yeah, it would.
[18:17.780 -> 18:19.840] Red Bull are in a really amazing position as well
[18:19.840 -> 18:22.520] because they realistically have won the championship
[18:22.520 -> 18:24.340] this year of one driver.
[18:24.340 -> 18:25.920] So they're probably in a situation
[18:25.920 -> 18:26.960] where they're in a room and they're like,
[18:26.960 -> 18:29.240] well, who would be the best driver to bring in for the team?
[18:29.240 -> 18:31.880] Because we don't really need the points.
[18:31.880 -> 18:32.840] Well, that's the thing.
[18:32.840 -> 18:34.320] I saw a comment about that.
[18:34.320 -> 18:37.180] You know, they can still happily win a championship
[18:37.180 -> 18:38.020] with Checo in the second team.
[18:38.020 -> 18:40.120] And that's why I thought Ricardo would go back,
[18:40.120 -> 18:43.000] because I was like, he just, media-wise,
[18:43.000 -> 18:44.040] he'll be great for the team.
[18:44.040 -> 18:45.120] He'll bring in the rep that
[18:45.120 -> 18:50.960] they want and be great for videos and stuff but Alonso is a different kettle of fish because when
[18:50.960 -> 18:54.880] you're talking Alonso you're talking one of the greatest of all time Daniel Ricciardo isn't one
[18:54.880 -> 19:00.720] of the greatest of all time you put Alonso in that car do you think we could have someone that
[19:00.720 -> 19:05.360] would compete with Max? 100% mate, 100%. Do you?
[19:05.360 -> 19:08.240] I think he's one of the few drivers on the grid
[19:08.240 -> 19:11.160] that has the consistency to do that.
[19:11.160 -> 19:13.320] Many great drivers on the grid,
[19:13.320 -> 19:17.640] they can get podiums and wins here and there,
[19:17.640 -> 19:19.880] but F1 is about holding it together
[19:19.880 -> 19:22.240] and stringing those wins one after another,
[19:22.240 -> 19:23.520] and Max does that.
[19:23.520 -> 19:25.520] And I don't think there's many drivers on the grid
[19:25.520 -> 19:28.180] that can consistently be good,
[19:28.180 -> 19:29.240] apart from Alonso.
[19:29.240 -> 19:31.480] He's had a pretty terrible year.
[19:31.480 -> 19:32.320] It's the car's fault.
[19:32.320 -> 19:33.480] It started all right.
[19:33.480 -> 19:34.560] Car's fault.
[19:34.560 -> 19:36.440] Yeah, that is tough.
[19:36.440 -> 19:37.280] It is tough,
[19:37.280 -> 19:39.220] because it is such a constructive sport.
[19:39.220 -> 19:41.340] You do have some of the best drivers in shit cars,
[19:41.340 -> 19:43.200] and there's just nothing you can do about it.
[19:43.200 -> 19:44.520] We'll have to wait and see,
[19:44.520 -> 19:46.960] but that is the current rumor going around obviously take
[19:46.960 -> 19:50.800] everything with a pit stop pinch of salt there's a chance Aston Martin doesn't
[19:50.800 -> 19:55.280] get sold and there's a chance Alonso doesn't go anywhere but right now that
[19:55.280 -> 19:59.120] is the conversation that everyone is having. Yep. So let's find out what
[19:59.120 -> 20:02.400] happens at the end of the year. There's gonna be a silly season mate stuff is
[20:02.400 -> 20:05.780] gonna happen. I can't wait. There's no way it's plain sailing
[20:05.780 -> 20:10.600] I live for that stuff. It makes the pod better as well. Yeah, it's got to happen. It's got to happen for the sport
[20:10.600 -> 20:13.340] There's multiple teams that need changes whether they make them or not
[20:13.480 -> 20:16.440] Let's wait and see we might find out a bit more Brazil
[20:16.720 -> 20:23.160] But Brazil is also one of my favorite tracks as we mentioned in the last episode the first ever race
[20:23.160 -> 20:26.240] I watched we saw Hamilton come from the back to the front
[20:26.240 -> 20:28.040] in the sprint, which was incredible.
[20:28.040 -> 20:29.380] Here's a fun fact for you.
[20:29.380 -> 20:33.480] Pole sitters have a 36% percent, don't,
[20:33.480 -> 20:37.160] shut up, shut up, percent probability of winning,
[20:37.160 -> 20:40.480] which is the lowest of all circuits on the calendar.
[20:40.480 -> 20:42.600] So a pole position at Brazil means the least.
[20:42.600 -> 20:45.040] Wow, and what's the percentage of a safety car?
[20:47.480 -> 20:49.160] 55.
[20:49.160 -> 20:50.000] Sounds about right.
[20:50.000 -> 20:50.960] I made that up at the top of my head.
[20:50.960 -> 20:51.960] It's usually around 50.
[20:51.960 -> 20:53.680] That probably is about right.
[20:53.680 -> 20:56.000] But yeah, this is the final sprint race of the season.
[20:56.000 -> 20:58.200] Last year, Kevin Magnusson got pole here.
[20:58.200 -> 20:59.600] So I just want to go back to that quickly.
[20:59.600 -> 21:03.680] That's quite harrowing to know that you're going out
[21:03.680 -> 21:07.000] as your day job to, you're about to do a race,
[21:07.000 -> 21:09.480] and in this race, there is only 20 of you,
[21:09.480 -> 21:13.440] and there's a half percent chance, a 50% chance,
[21:13.440 -> 21:15.080] that there's gonna be a safety car.
[21:15.080 -> 21:16.520] I've made that percentage up.
[21:16.520 -> 21:19.920] No, 50% is roughly about right.
[21:19.920 -> 21:22.720] I'd say in every race, there's probably more than that.
[21:22.720 -> 21:25.300] No, Googled, fact checked and Googled, it's about 50% for a lot of them, which is worrying because there's probably more than that. No, Googled, fact, fact checked and Googled.
[21:25.300 -> 21:27.280] It's about 50% for a lot of them,
[21:27.280 -> 21:30.600] which is worrying because there's only 20 of you.
[21:30.600 -> 21:32.920] And you don't get a safety car
[21:32.920 -> 21:34.840] for someone having a little tap.
[21:34.840 -> 21:36.560] You get a safety car because someone's just gone
[21:36.560 -> 21:38.840] 4,000 miles an hour into a wall.
[21:38.840 -> 21:40.640] So it's quite fucking scary.
[21:40.640 -> 21:41.480] Imagine like one of 20.
[21:41.480 -> 21:42.960] It's an incredibly dangerous sport.
[21:42.960 -> 21:44.960] Incredibly dangerous sport.
[21:44.960 -> 21:46.200] We spoke about it a while ago,
[21:46.200 -> 21:48.240] but they have to trust every other driver
[21:48.240 -> 21:49.880] on that grid so much.
[21:49.880 -> 21:50.720] Oh yeah.
[21:50.720 -> 21:51.540] Cause that's key.
[21:51.540 -> 21:52.760] And would you trust Logan Sardin?
[21:52.760 -> 21:53.600] Yeah.
[21:53.600 -> 21:54.720] Yeah. If you're good enough to get into F1,
[21:54.720 -> 21:55.640] I'd trust any of them.
[21:55.640 -> 21:56.460] Yeah, fair.
[21:56.460 -> 21:59.400] But like you saw it when there were three abreast,
[21:59.400 -> 22:00.240] all three of them had so much trust.
[22:00.240 -> 22:01.880] I love it when you use that word.
[22:01.880 -> 22:02.720] Three abreast.
[22:02.720 -> 22:04.200] Yeah, Matt and Tommy did it.
[22:04.200 -> 22:06.000] Pronounced it completely different, didn't they?
[22:06.000 -> 22:07.000] Did they?
[22:07.000 -> 22:08.000] I don't know what they said.
[22:08.000 -> 22:09.000] Like three in a line or something.
[22:09.000 -> 22:10.000] Sounds good.
[22:10.000 -> 22:11.000] Like three abreast.
[22:11.000 -> 22:12.000] Three abreast sounds good.
[22:12.000 -> 22:13.000] Is it the correct term?
[22:13.000 -> 22:14.000] Yeah, chicken breast.
[22:14.000 -> 22:15.000] We love it when it's three abreast.
[22:15.000 -> 22:16.000] It's a chicken breast in the fridge actually.
[22:16.000 -> 22:18.000] You made great dinner last night, didn't you?
[22:18.000 -> 22:19.000] What was it?
[22:19.000 -> 22:20.000] It was like a chicken escalope.
[22:20.000 -> 22:21.840] Like a schnitzel, but chicken.
[22:21.840 -> 22:22.840] A chicken schnitzel?
[22:22.840 -> 22:26.480] I made you a schnitzel when it was the Grand Prix.
[22:26.480 -> 22:27.880] Yeah, thank you.
[22:27.880 -> 22:28.720] I did.
[22:28.720 -> 22:29.800] We should start baking or something
[22:29.800 -> 22:31.600] because I'm better at baking.
[22:31.600 -> 22:34.320] Like I'm better at making cakes and brownies and donuts.
[22:34.320 -> 22:36.280] Jake puts his little pink bib on
[22:36.280 -> 22:38.880] and he gets his little yellow gloves out
[22:38.880 -> 22:40.600] and he bakes little fairy cakes.
[22:40.600 -> 22:43.200] Yeah, sometimes put icing on them as well.
[22:43.200 -> 22:45.120] Maybe if you come to a Grand Prix, I give some out.
[22:45.120 -> 22:45.960] It's quite sweet.
[22:45.960 -> 22:49.240] But Magnussen got pole here last year at Brazil.
[22:49.240 -> 22:50.360] It was a special moment.
[22:50.360 -> 22:52.080] Obviously he didn't win the race.
[22:52.080 -> 22:54.940] George Russell got his first ever
[22:54.940 -> 22:57.920] and his only ever win in Formula One
[22:57.920 -> 23:00.360] at the last Brazilian Grand Prix
[23:00.360 -> 23:04.400] with Hamilton second and Carlos Sainz third.
[23:04.400 -> 23:10.220] Absolutely spot on mate. You carry on talking. Okay, my throat feels like it's about to explode
[23:10.220 -> 23:15.340] So I'm gonna go grab a drink. Yeah, but you carry I can hear you because our kitchen is just there
[23:15.340 -> 23:17.760] Okay, so you carry on. All right, and I'll be
[23:18.640 -> 23:24.740] 15 seconds. I have to admit the next part of conversation. I have fab is a completely new segment
[23:24.740 -> 23:28.500] So let me go over what I just spoke about.

[24:56.720 -> 25:03.340] shocked the world. It shocked the whole world. Everyone was like, no way. Kevin Magnuson
[25:03.340 -> 25:06.120] on poll. He didn't win. But George
[25:06.120 -> 25:11.360] Russell saw this as a perfect opportunity to shock the United Kingdom and the globe
[25:11.360 -> 25:15.840] by getting his first ever full... I've just repeated everything I said in the 30 seconds
[25:15.840 -> 25:22.080] before. Can you hurry up and get back? I'm back. Okay. Right. New subject. Thirst quenched.
[25:22.080 -> 25:26.320] Something we've never spoken about on the podcast is about to come up Oh
[25:29.380 -> 25:30.200] Felipe Massa just isn't letting 2008 go
[25:36.000 -> 25:36.320] He really ain't he really isn't now Felipe Massa won't be attending the Brazilian Grand Prix this weekend
[25:42.800 -> 25:44.320] Rightly so and for those of you that don't know you say rightly so yeah for those of you that don't know what all this is about
[25:44.320 -> 26:07.220] Okay, now let's be clear obviously me and fab didn't watch then and obviously all the information so Masa is saying that in the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix the Renault driver Nelson Piquet deliberately crashed
[26:08.040 -> 26:13.800] Masa is saying because of this he was deliberately deprived of the title as the race was
[26:14.560 -> 26:18.680] Manipulated he says he's seeking justice justice for his childhood dream
[26:18.800 -> 26:24.200] He wants a title for his nation and for the Brazilian fans. So this is called crash gate
[26:24.320 -> 26:25.300] Yeah for anyone who doesn't know that we never really got into it on the pod for his nation and for the Brazilian fans. So this is called Crashgate.
[26:25.300 -> 26:26.600] For anyone who doesn't know that.
[26:26.600 -> 26:28.440] We've never really got into it on the pod have we?
[26:28.440 -> 26:33.880] We haven't and we spoke to James a little bit about it after our pod.
[26:33.880 -> 26:36.640] This is the stuff that I live for in F1.
[26:36.640 -> 26:38.480] I'm a big conspiracy theorist.
[26:38.480 -> 26:40.360] I love all this kind of stuff.
[26:40.360 -> 26:42.320] And it has come out that it was true.
[26:42.320 -> 26:46.000] Yeah, I mean, I've seen that it's come out that it was true. Yeah, I mean, I've seen that it's come out that it's true.
[26:46.000 -> 26:53.000] At the same time, I think no matter what, trying to change a result from 2008 is absolutely pointless.
[26:53.000 -> 26:57.000] I mean, especially when you're trying to change the result against Hamilton.
[26:57.000 -> 26:59.000] Pointless or point full?
[26:59.000 -> 27:01.000] No, pointless.
[27:01.000 -> 27:04.000] He's currently pointless, but he's trying to get it against Hamilton.
[27:04.000 -> 27:05.740] Yeah? Yeah. Yeah.
[27:05.740 -> 27:07.900] What about Hamilton in 2021?
[27:07.900 -> 27:10.180] Hamilton's got just as big an argument to go,
[27:10.180 -> 27:12.020] well, what the fuck happened in Abu Dhabi then
[27:12.020 -> 27:14.000] when Max took my title?
[27:14.000 -> 27:16.180] Like, and Hamilton's let that go.
[27:16.180 -> 27:19.180] Yeah, but crash gate is a premeditated,
[27:19.180 -> 27:22.000] you know, it was a plan going into the race.
[27:22.000 -> 27:24.620] We're going to do this and buck him up.
[27:24.620 -> 27:25.120] You know what I mean?
[27:25.120 -> 27:26.560] So they deliberately crashed the driver
[27:26.560 -> 27:27.440] so that Hamilton won?
[27:27.440 -> 27:30.360] Yeah, that's, now that's not me saying that,
[27:30.360 -> 27:32.240] that's just what Crashgate is.
[27:32.240 -> 27:33.080] Okay.
[27:33.080 -> 27:34.960] Whereas Abu Dhabi, it was, you know,
[27:34.960 -> 27:36.880] it was in the heat at the moment,
[27:36.880 -> 27:38.840] F1 were trying to make the race more exciting
[27:38.840 -> 27:40.960] by having Michael Massey pipe up a bit more
[27:40.960 -> 27:42.080] on the TV and stuff,
[27:42.080 -> 27:43.600] like he should never have got involved anyway,
[27:43.600 -> 27:45.800] but he was, that was for the whole year, and then it was a last minute thing with the safety cars, and it was all a bit of on the TV and stuff. Like he should never have got involved anyway, but he was, that was for the whole year.
[27:45.800 -> 27:47.840] And then it was last minute thing with the safety cars
[27:47.840 -> 27:48.680] and it was all a bit of a roshambo.
[27:48.680 -> 27:51.680] But do you not think 2008 is quite a long time ago, mate?
[27:51.680 -> 27:53.440] It's 15 years ago.
[27:53.440 -> 27:55.160] I know, but imagine this, right?
[27:55.160 -> 27:57.320] You've always wanted, imagine you've always wanted to be
[27:57.320 -> 28:00.960] like a chat Premier League playing football player
[28:00.960 -> 28:03.280] and you just had the chance to do it.
[28:03.280 -> 28:05.760] And you've just signed your contract eight years ago,
[28:05.760 -> 28:07.560] you could have been a pro football player,
[28:07.560 -> 28:10.980] but then right at the last minute, some knob comes along,
[28:10.980 -> 28:13.520] daddy's got some money and they buy you out of your contract
[28:13.520 -> 28:14.640] and the team really wanted you.
[28:14.640 -> 28:17.380] They were like, we really want Jake because he's amazing.
[28:17.380 -> 28:19.000] But actually this guy's given us some cash
[28:19.000 -> 28:19.840] that we'll sign him instead.
[28:19.840 -> 28:20.680] You'd be pissed.
[28:20.680 -> 28:23.520] I love how your football reference was just so far fetched
[28:23.520 -> 28:24.660] from what it could have been.
[28:24.660 -> 28:28.740] It could have been, I scored a goal in a World Cup final that was disallowed for offside,
[28:28.740 -> 28:29.740] but it was onside.
[28:29.740 -> 28:30.740] Yeah, I know.
[28:30.740 -> 28:31.740] But I like the way you took it to contract.
[28:31.740 -> 28:32.740] I try, I try.
[28:32.740 -> 28:36.380] Well yeah, it's 15 years ago, we'll have to wait and see what happens.
[28:36.380 -> 28:39.020] Personally, I don't think anything will happen.
[28:39.020 -> 28:43.820] It looks worse on the sport if anything, it looks so bad on the sport if they turn around
[28:43.820 -> 28:45.320] now and go fuck it
[28:45.320 -> 28:47.120] go on then Felipe Massa you can have your
[28:47.120 -> 28:48.840] title Hamilton you've only got six
[28:48.840 -> 28:49.640] tough shit
[28:49.640 -> 28:51.280] I see it from both sides Hamilton would
[28:51.280 -> 28:52.680] leave the sport straight away yeah you
[28:52.680 -> 28:54.200] can't just take away a title from
[28:54.200 -> 28:55.600] Hamilton can you but then why not just
[28:55.600 -> 28:59.000] just give Felipe one maybe give him a
[28:59.000 -> 29:01.280] trophy, just give him a trophy, nothing gives a shit
[29:01.280 -> 29:03.120] this is the thing even if I don't know how big he
[29:03.120 -> 29:06.840] was but genuinely I don't think it would make any difference.
[29:06.840 -> 29:08.400] Like if you said to Felipe Massa,
[29:08.400 -> 29:11.120] fuck it, you're a world champion, have it.
[29:11.120 -> 29:12.560] What's everyone gonna do now?
[29:12.560 -> 29:13.880] Go and throw a party?
[29:13.880 -> 29:15.840] Is there gonna be a massive party in Brazil
[29:15.840 -> 29:17.720] because Felipe Massa's got a title?
[29:17.720 -> 29:19.640] When you really deep in and you think about it,
[29:19.640 -> 29:23.440] you can actually truly realize how annoyed you would be.
[29:23.440 -> 29:24.280] Yeah, a million percent.
[29:24.280 -> 29:27.600] All you want as a racing driver is to be a world champion.
[29:27.600 -> 29:30.720] And then it gets taken away from you at the last minute
[29:30.720 -> 29:33.320] because someone set up some BS.
[29:33.320 -> 29:35.160] I'm with you, if you spin it, like my God,
[29:35.160 -> 29:37.960] he would have raced his whole life to get to that chance,
[29:37.960 -> 29:39.720] had a world championship race,
[29:39.720 -> 29:40.800] believes he should have won it
[29:40.800 -> 29:43.360] and was robbed by Crashgate.
[29:43.360 -> 29:44.800] You would be pissed.
[29:44.800 -> 29:46.680] Anyone else would want that world title
[29:46.680 -> 29:49.080] and would do anything they could to try and get it.
[29:49.080 -> 29:52.040] I'm just saying it was 15 years ago.
[29:52.040 -> 29:54.640] If it was like last year or three years ago
[29:54.640 -> 29:56.200] and you're still battling it, maybe,
[29:56.200 -> 29:59.820] but there must be a reason recently
[29:59.820 -> 30:02.080] that he's really started to pipe up about it.
[30:02.080 -> 30:03.000] Do you know what I mean?
[30:03.000 -> 30:05.280] This hasn't been going on for 15 years, surely.
[30:05.280 -> 30:07.640] No, I don't know when the crash gate thing came out.
[30:07.640 -> 30:08.480] And I don't know when it was finally revealed.
[30:08.480 -> 30:10.160] What did someone say something
[30:10.160 -> 30:12.000] and like fucking drop everything in?
[30:12.000 -> 30:13.480] I don't know, maybe, I'm not really sure.
[30:13.480 -> 30:14.920] I think it got found out a few years back.
[30:14.920 -> 30:16.200] That is quite bad though.
[30:16.200 -> 30:17.040] Yeah.
[30:17.040 -> 30:18.880] Yeah, don't get me wrong, I do feel sorry for the guy,
[30:18.880 -> 30:21.240] but we won't be seeing him at the Brazilian Grand Prix
[30:21.240 -> 30:22.920] because he's not a happy man.
[30:22.920 -> 30:25.560] Please do let us know your thoughts on this at Pitstop on Instagram. We've got the Brazilian Grand Prix because he's not a happy man. Please do let us know your thoughts on this.
[30:25.560 -> 30:30.520] At Pitstop on Instagram, we've got the Brazilian Grand Prix coming up, which means there was
[30:30.520 -> 30:33.840] only one thing to get prepped for today's episode.
[30:33.840 -> 30:37.200] Yes, however, I have one more thing before we go into that.
[30:37.200 -> 30:39.000] Oh, please do Fabio.
[30:39.000 -> 30:41.000] Big news coming out of the Nevada desert.
[30:41.000 -> 30:42.480] Nevada desert?
[30:42.480 -> 30:43.720] Yeah, yeah.
[30:43.720 -> 30:48.200] Okay. Nevada desert. Nevada desert? Yeah. Yeah. The residents of Las Vegas are not happy.
[30:48.200 -> 30:51.640] F1, so they have the bridges that go over the roads, right?
[30:51.640 -> 30:52.560] Yeah, two bridges.
[30:52.560 -> 30:53.640] It's a street track.
[30:53.640 -> 30:58.600] F1 have put this like opaque film on the glass
[30:58.600 -> 31:01.760] so that you cannot look down onto the circuit, right?
[31:01.760 -> 31:03.600] For a start, you know, the race is,
[31:03.600 -> 31:07.220] it's not, we've got another race yet. Yeah. I don't know why they're doing this now.
[31:07.220 -> 31:10.780] The residents of Las Vegas have been ripping this shit off
[31:10.780 -> 31:12.800] so they can still see through.
[31:12.800 -> 31:15.820] So F1 have kind of lost the battle already.
[31:15.820 -> 31:17.540] I don't know what they expected.
[31:17.540 -> 31:19.020] I knew they were doing that
[31:19.020 -> 31:20.780] because they were doing it in all the restaurants
[31:20.780 -> 31:22.220] surrounding the track.
[31:22.220 -> 31:24.580] Every single restaurant or viewing point
[31:24.580 -> 31:30.260] that can see onto the track, F1 is selling the seat that sees out the window, and if it isn't
[31:30.260 -> 31:31.960] sold, they're covering the glass.
[31:31.960 -> 31:32.960] Oh, really?
[31:32.960 -> 31:36.340] So no one can watch it that hasn't paid for it.
[31:36.340 -> 31:41.440] How do you barge into someone else's city and then just say, you can't look out this
[31:41.440 -> 31:44.480] window for the next month? That's ridiculous!
[31:44.480 -> 31:45.600] Yeah, we're taking up your viewing spot. And then just say, you can't look out this window for the next month. That's ridiculous. It is ridiculous.
[31:45.600 -> 31:47.080] Yeah, we're taking up your viewing spot.
[31:47.080 -> 31:49.360] I get it, yeah, but like, do it like, you know,
[31:49.360 -> 31:50.700] the weekend before the race.
[31:50.700 -> 31:51.540] Why are they doing it now?
[31:51.540 -> 31:53.820] I would say some of the best seats for F1 in Vegas
[31:53.820 -> 31:56.160] must be the hotel rooms anyway.
[31:56.160 -> 31:57.360] Do you think they would do it here?
[31:57.360 -> 31:59.080] You know, if they ever did do the London Grand Prix.
[31:59.080 -> 32:00.640] Yeah, this is F1, they'll do it anywhere.
[32:00.640 -> 32:01.720] Do you think they would just come,
[32:01.720 -> 32:03.000] just tape up our windows?
[32:03.000 -> 32:04.360] I genuinely think they would.
[32:04.360 -> 32:08.480] Like, they're very funny about who sees what, who owns what.
[32:08.480 -> 32:11.360] I mean it's why they're such a big successful business.
[32:11.360 -> 32:12.360] They're crazy about it.
[32:12.360 -> 32:15.240] Oh mate, business is business at the end of the day and you've got to do what you've got
[32:15.240 -> 32:16.240] to do.
[32:16.240 -> 32:18.160] And you do have to think, you do have to compare it.
[32:18.160 -> 32:22.720] In other sports, like football for example, they don't have to do that because everyone's
[32:22.720 -> 32:24.260] in a stadium.
[32:24.260 -> 32:25.740] So they don't have the same problem.
[32:25.740 -> 32:27.320] Like they sell the tickets,
[32:27.320 -> 32:28.940] they let a certain amount of press people in,
[32:28.940 -> 32:29.940] whatever, blah, blah, blah.
[32:29.940 -> 32:30.940] They know who's in there.
[32:30.940 -> 32:32.540] They know who's watching.
[32:32.540 -> 32:35.500] You've got to think, if your sport is so valuable
[32:35.500 -> 32:37.580] and all these people pay millions of pounds
[32:37.580 -> 32:38.860] to stream it and that,
[32:38.860 -> 32:41.340] they probably don't want someone standing on the bridge
[32:41.340 -> 32:42.980] streaming it live on TikTok.
[32:42.980 -> 32:43.820] Do you know what I mean?
[32:43.820 -> 32:45.360] I don't get that though,
[32:45.360 -> 32:48.780] because who in their right mind is not going to buy
[32:48.780 -> 32:51.680] an F1 subscription or a Sky Sport subscription
[32:51.680 -> 32:54.100] because they want to watch an F1 race live stream
[32:54.100 -> 32:56.060] for someone's Instagram story.
[32:56.060 -> 32:58.120] Well, I don't, that's never ever going to happen.
[32:58.120 -> 33:00.760] No one's ever, unless you're up there with like, you know,
[33:00.760 -> 33:02.920] a Mac and a DSLR, you know,
[33:02.920 -> 33:04.800] and you've got mates who have about five other cameras
[33:04.800 -> 33:05.600] around the circuit.
[33:05.600 -> 33:06.440] But it's not a bad idea.
[33:06.440 -> 33:07.400] I don't.
[33:07.400 -> 33:08.480] Well, I don't mean you.
[33:08.480 -> 33:09.720] Get some flights to Vegas.
[33:09.720 -> 33:11.480] Or just go stand on that bridge.
[33:11.480 -> 33:12.440] And sell the rights.
[33:12.440 -> 33:14.960] And just sell our own rights.
[33:14.960 -> 33:16.640] I don't think that's gonna go down very well.
[33:16.640 -> 33:18.560] Cor, that lawsuit would be fun, wouldn't it?
[33:18.560 -> 33:19.400] Nope.
[33:19.400 -> 33:21.400] Jake and Fab versus Formula One.
[33:21.400 -> 33:22.880] Formula One, we're sorry.
[33:22.880 -> 33:24.160] We love you so much.
[33:24.160 -> 33:25.260] Let us know if we can do anything to
[33:25.820 -> 33:33.840] rebuild the friendship. Fabio Bocca. Yeah. It's time for a special Brazilian quiz with a touch of Formula One.
[33:33.840 -> 33:37.180] Oh my god, a Brazilian quiz. I just thought we were doing our prediction. No, no.
[33:37.180 -> 33:40.940] Well, originally it was going to be a quiz about Brazil because I thought this would be funny.
[33:41.180 -> 33:43.780] Let's just do it. Nothing to do with Formula One.
[33:43.780 -> 33:48.040] But then I found a couple of questions I were like no we can make them Formula
[33:48.040 -> 33:52.200] One ones so people listening at home play along with who you're sat with play
[33:52.200 -> 33:55.640] along on your own some of these might be good for a pub quiz in the future this
[33:55.640 -> 34:00.320] is a Brazil special quiz we haven't done one in a while so I'm hoping for a good
[34:00.320 -> 34:05.360] score from you okay ten questions one of the questions has a chance to get three
[34:05.360 -> 34:10.400] points. So that would mean there's twelve points available. Alright. Question number
[34:10.400 -> 34:15.320] one. We're gonna start off easy. We're gonna warm you into the quiz. I don't wanna throw
[34:15.320 -> 34:25.840] you under the bus from the beginning. What is the capital of Brazil? Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo or Brasilia? Sao Paulo
[34:25.840 -> 34:27.840] Please tell me that was a joke
[34:27.840 -> 34:29.840] Please tell me that was a joke
[34:29.840 -> 34:31.840] Yeah it was
[34:31.840 -> 34:33.840] What is the answer then?
[34:33.840 -> 34:35.840] Rio de Janeiro
[34:35.840 -> 34:37.840] This is going to be a lovely one
[34:37.840 -> 34:39.840] The answer is Brasilia
[34:39.840 -> 34:41.840] We'll quickly get past that one
[34:41.840 -> 34:43.840] Brasilia?
[34:43.840 -> 34:45.000] What? I thought I got it right!
[34:45.000 -> 34:47.000] No, you said São Paulo and then Rio.
[34:47.000 -> 34:47.500] Oh.
[34:47.500 -> 34:51.500] However, Rio de Janeiro was the capital until 1960.
[34:51.500 -> 34:53.500] Am I expected to know that?
[34:53.500 -> 34:55.500] Well, most people would know the capital of Brazil.
[34:55.500 -> 34:58.500] I don't think so, I think you just because you've been there.
[34:58.500 -> 35:00.500] That's like you've been darn...
[35:00.500 -> 35:02.500] True, I know everything about Brazil because I've been...
[35:02.500 -> 35:05.080] You've had this quiz on your phone all year waiting for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
[35:05.080 -> 35:06.680] I heard you wrote it on the airplane
[35:06.680 -> 35:08.480] when I was on my way back.
[35:08.480 -> 35:10.800] Okay, this probably won't go much better for you either.
[35:10.800 -> 35:12.220] It's the only one about football,
[35:12.220 -> 35:13.960] but Brazil is very big for football.
[35:13.960 -> 35:15.720] One of my favorite players is from Brazil.
[35:15.720 -> 35:16.560] Well, let's see.
[35:16.560 -> 35:19.920] Which Brazilian footballer is known as the king of football?
[35:19.920 -> 35:23.320] Kaka, Ronaldo, or Pelé?
[35:24.560 -> 35:30.960] Ronaldo would be mine, but I know if you're from Brazil, it's probably going to be Pelé.
[35:31.360 -> 35:35.000] Correct! Pelé is the king of football in Brazil!
[35:35.680 -> 35:36.680] Are you impressed with that one?
[35:36.680 -> 35:37.560] Yeah, I am.
[35:37.560 -> 35:39.480] I thought you were going to shout Ronaldinho, to be fair.
[35:40.000 -> 35:40.840] Did you say Ronaldo?
[35:40.840 -> 35:41.640] Yeah, Ronaldo.
[35:41.640 -> 35:43.120] Oh, I meant Ronaldinho would be mine.
[35:43.120 -> 35:44.720] Do you know what Ronaldo this is?
[35:45.120 -> 35:46.280] He's a different Ronaldo. You can't get confused. He's bald. He's the? Yeah, Ronaldo. Oh, I meant Ronaldinho would be mine. Do you know what Ronaldo this is? He's a different Ronaldo.
[35:46.280 -> 35:47.600] Because you can't get confused.
[35:47.600 -> 35:48.160] He's bald.
[35:48.160 -> 35:49.600] He's the bald, bigger Ronaldo.
[35:49.600 -> 35:50.000] Yeah.
[35:50.000 -> 35:51.200] He was always a bit of a tank.
[35:51.200 -> 35:51.760] Yeah, yeah.
[35:51.760 -> 35:54.520] But yeah, Pelé is without a doubt the king of Brazilian football.
[35:54.520 -> 35:57.520] Anyway, that's enough of that because no one gives a shit about football.
[35:57.520 -> 35:58.120] Nope.
[35:58.120 -> 36:02.560] What is the approximate population of Brazil?
[36:02.560 -> 36:04.840] How many millions do you reckon are there?
[36:04.840 -> 36:05.240] 508 million? 308 million? Population of Brazil how many millions do you reckon are there?
[36:07.240 -> 36:07.560] 508 million
[36:10.660 -> 36:11.640] 308 million or 208 million
[36:13.640 -> 36:13.680] How many people?
[36:19.960 -> 36:22.260] 208, 308 or 500 million. That's not nice. I would go high. Big spread there, isn't there? Yeah, I would go high I'd go so I'd go 508 mil. Would you?
[36:23.120 -> 36:24.480] Yeah
[36:24.480 -> 36:25.600] Yeah, that is incorrect I'd go 508 mil. Would you? Yeah. Yeah.
[36:25.600 -> 36:26.640] That is incorrect.
[36:26.640 -> 36:27.960] 208 million.
[36:27.960 -> 36:30.040] So less than half of what you predicted.
[36:30.040 -> 36:30.880] Damn.
[36:30.880 -> 36:32.400] It's actually 214 million now.
[36:32.400 -> 36:34.160] I did check Google before we started.
[36:34.160 -> 36:35.080] Okay, so that was wrong then.
[36:35.080 -> 36:35.920] So point to me.
[36:35.920 -> 36:37.000] So yeah, you're doing great.
[36:37.000 -> 36:38.400] One out of three so far,
[36:38.400 -> 36:40.040] which is actually better than I thought you'd do.
[36:40.040 -> 36:40.880] Thank you.
[36:40.880 -> 36:44.520] How many stars on the Brazilian flag?
[36:44.520 -> 36:45.320] Oh God. Picture the Brazilian flag. I can't, I can't picture it. Yeah, you can. It's on the Brazilian flag? Oh God.
[36:45.320 -> 36:46.640] Picture the Brazilian flag.
[36:46.640 -> 36:47.480] I can't picture it.
[36:47.480 -> 36:49.840] Yeah you can, it's got the big triangle in the middle
[36:49.840 -> 36:52.320] and the blue and the green and the yellow.
[36:52.320 -> 36:55.440] Think in your head, the Brazilian flag, stars.
[36:55.440 -> 36:56.680] I don't remember seeing any stars.
[36:56.680 -> 36:57.680] They're small.
[36:57.680 -> 36:58.520] Okay.
[36:58.520 -> 36:59.400] And they're on the blue bit.
[36:59.400 -> 37:00.480] Okay.
[37:00.480 -> 37:01.320] So you're not gonna,
[37:01.320 -> 37:02.600] this is gonna be a complete guess, isn't it?
[37:02.600 -> 37:04.080] No.
[37:04.080 -> 37:06.600] Five, 14 or 27?
[37:06.600 -> 37:07.200] 14.
[37:07.200 -> 37:08.000] Incorrect.
[37:08.000 -> 37:09.000] 27.
[37:09.000 -> 37:10.200] I knew it wasn't 5.
[37:10.200 -> 37:10.500] Okay.
[37:10.500 -> 37:11.400] I knew there was more than 5.
[37:11.400 -> 37:12.000] One out of four.
[37:12.000 -> 37:12.400] Shit.
[37:12.400 -> 37:13.000] All right.
[37:13.000 -> 37:13.700] But now we're talking.
[37:13.700 -> 37:14.800] We'll do an F1 one.
[37:14.800 -> 37:16.800] You'll get this one because this is an F1 question.
[37:16.800 -> 37:17.200] Sure.
[37:18.200 -> 37:23.400] If an F1 car went at top speed from one side of Brazil to the other,
[37:24.100 -> 37:25.580] how long would it take?
[37:26.920 -> 37:27.980] Now here's your clue.
[37:29.080 -> 37:31.620] It's 2,700 miles.
[37:32.880 -> 37:37.520] So 12 hours, 22 hours, or 16 hours.
[37:37.520 -> 37:39.000] And there's gonna be a lot of math involved.
[37:39.000 -> 37:40.720] Yeah, there's a lot of math involved,
[37:40.720 -> 37:41.560] but it's a great question.
[37:41.560 -> 37:44.640] So at top speed, I'm saying around 230 mile an hour.
[37:44.640 -> 37:48.480] Yeah, the top speed recorded this season was 234 mile an hour
[37:48.480 -> 37:53.880] Landau-Norris okay 234 mile an hour I've done the math off that question it's
[37:53.880 -> 38:00.120] how many miles? 2,700. 2,700 miles I've just given you the maths to work out I
[38:00.120 -> 38:06.560] shouldn't have done that so and so read the time 12 hours 22 hours or 16 hours. It's 12 hours
[38:06.560 -> 38:11.660] It's 12 hours. They can have that one. That's two out of five. How crazy is that top speed?
[38:11.660 -> 38:17.960] I'm a mathematician mate without stopping at top speed in a straight line 12 hours. You could get across
[38:19.000 -> 38:21.720] Brazil in a pretty quick. That's pretty cool, isn't it?
[38:21.720 -> 38:30.200] Because it's 11 hours and 55 minutes to fly there from here I drove across Ireland in a Suzuki automatic probably
[38:30.200 -> 38:36.160] 1.4 and it took three and a half hours nice straight line no traffic pretty
[38:36.160 -> 38:42.360] much yeah yeah you met some pissed off listeners in Ireland as soon as you got
[38:42.360 -> 38:47.000] off the boat as I was getting on the boat in Holyhead in Wales
[38:47.000 -> 38:48.000] Wales?
[38:48.000 -> 38:51.000] yeah the woman at the desk, she said
[38:51.000 -> 38:53.000] you're the boy from that podcast
[38:53.000 -> 38:54.000] Tomo?
[38:54.000 -> 38:57.000] Tomo? Is that Tomo?
[38:57.000 -> 38:59.000] yes or no
[38:59.000 -> 39:03.000] is Sugarloaf Mountain a real place in Brazil?
[39:03.000 -> 39:04.000] yes
[39:04.000 -> 39:06.380] well hang on
[39:06.600 -> 39:07.800] choice
[39:07.800 -> 39:09.800] Yes, or no. Yes. No, well, maybe
[39:10.600 -> 39:15.920] No, no sugarloaf. No sugarloaf mountain a real place in Brazil
[39:15.920 -> 39:18.000] I feel like sugarloaf mountain is a real place
[39:18.000 -> 39:22.980] But is it in Brazil or is it called like sugar something like sugar Hill game? I haven't done you with the name
[39:23.500 -> 39:25.700] sugarloaf mountain.
[39:26.540 -> 39:29.000] Yes or no? Is it a real place in Brazil?
[39:29.000 -> 39:30.340] I don't know if it's in Brazil or not.
[39:30.340 -> 39:32.780] I think sugarloaf mountain is a hill.
[39:32.780 -> 39:33.940] Yes.
[39:33.940 -> 39:37.420] Correct. Sugarloaf mountain is in Brazil.
[39:37.420 -> 39:38.660] Absolutely spot on.
[39:38.660 -> 39:40.660] Only a few questions remaining.
[39:40.660 -> 39:44.620] How many Brazilian drivers have competed in Formula One?
[39:44.620 -> 39:49.000] Seven, 32 or 37?
[39:49.000 -> 39:51.000] 7.
[39:51.000 -> 39:53.000] Come on.
[39:53.000 -> 39:56.000] Brazilian drivers have competed in F1?
[39:56.000 -> 39:58.000] I mean, I could probably name 7.
[39:58.000 -> 40:01.000] If I could name 7, imagine all the years before we watched.
[40:01.000 -> 40:02.000] Go on then.
[40:02.000 -> 40:06.000] There's a glitch. There's a glitch. There's a glitch.
[40:06.000 -> 40:08.000] Well it's not 7.
[40:08.000 -> 40:10.000] It's 32.
[40:10.000 -> 40:12.000] 32 and 37.
[40:12.000 -> 40:14.000] That's not like much of a fucking...
[40:14.000 -> 40:16.000] I gave you 7. 32 and 37.
[40:16.000 -> 40:18.000] You said 7. Okay.
[40:18.000 -> 40:20.000] It was 32. Who are they then?
[40:20.000 -> 40:22.000] You were 25 off. Who are they?
[40:22.000 -> 40:24.000] Well that's the fun of the Pit Stop quiz. I don't know.
[40:24.000 -> 40:26.040] Where have you got that fact from?
[40:26.040 -> 40:27.480] Google.
[40:27.480 -> 40:28.600] Google said it.
[40:28.600 -> 40:29.440] I don't believe it.
[40:29.440 -> 40:31.360] Well, there's another question where you are gonna learn.
[40:31.360 -> 40:33.180] The next question, okay?
[40:34.040 -> 40:37.720] Three Brazilian drivers have won the championship.
[40:37.720 -> 40:40.480] You will get a point for each.
[40:40.480 -> 40:42.600] Give me the three Brazilian drivers
[40:42.600 -> 40:44.880] that have won an F1 World Championship.
[40:44.880 -> 40:46.400] You should be able to do this.
[40:47.480 -> 40:48.800] It's just one of those days.
[40:48.800 -> 40:50.680] It's when you're on the spot and you're asked a question
[40:50.680 -> 40:51.520] and you're not thinking about it.
[40:51.520 -> 40:52.760] It's one of those days where you just don't have it
[40:52.760 -> 40:53.600] in your head.
[40:53.600 -> 40:55.160] Juan Manuel Fangio.
[40:56.080 -> 40:58.320] He's Argentinian, I'm pretty sure.
[40:58.320 -> 41:00.320] I could be wrong, but he isn't a Brazilian one
[41:00.320 -> 41:03.660] that's won it and he's won it, so yeah, it can't be him.
[41:03.660 -> 41:05.280] Let's slow down a little bit
[41:05.280 -> 41:08.640] let's think firstly who was the last guest we had on the podcast?
[41:11.040 -> 41:17.440] Emerson Fittipaldi is one of the Brazilian world champions. Correct! One. Currently you're forgetting
[41:17.440 -> 41:23.440] one of the greatest drivers of all time which is pretty embarrassing for a Formula One podcast.
[41:23.440 -> 41:25.680] Senna. Senna, two.
[41:25.680 -> 41:26.840] There's one more.
[41:27.680 -> 41:30.360] Not expecting you to get this one.
[41:30.360 -> 41:31.840] Not expecting you to get it.
[41:31.840 -> 41:33.640] Can you give me some sort of hint?
[41:40.200 -> 41:42.880] Their first name rhymes with Pelsen.
[41:44.680 -> 41:51.920] That's the most obvious thing you could have said in the history of the world.
[41:51.920 -> 41:52.960] Nelson Piquet.
[41:52.960 -> 41:54.560] Shit, I've blown it.
[41:54.560 -> 41:56.640] What else was I going to say?
[41:56.640 -> 41:58.080] The fuck does Pelson even mean?
[41:58.080 -> 42:01.360] Yeah, well they're the three drivers, okay, whatever.
[42:01.360 -> 42:06.120] What percentage of the Brazilian Grand Prix is at full throttle?
[42:07.840 -> 42:11.840] 40 percent 55 percent or 68 percent full throttle
[42:11.840 -> 42:15.000] There's a big long straight which takes up a lot of time
[42:15.000 -> 42:15.480] Yeah
[42:15.480 -> 42:22.400] Goes down into that sort of you know down the hill sharp left sharp right and then really sharp probably flat out through there
[42:23.160 -> 42:26.000] And up the hill turn round up bit of a straight, but then it's all a bit through there, up the hill, turn around, up, bit of a straight,
[42:26.000 -> 42:27.440] but then it's all a bit loosey goosey.
[42:27.440 -> 42:29.240] So I'm going to go with 50%.
[42:29.240 -> 42:31.200] You got 40, 55 or 68?
[42:31.200 -> 42:32.320] I'll go 55.
[42:32.320 -> 42:33.480] That would be incorrect.
[42:33.480 -> 42:34.880] 68%.
[42:34.880 -> 42:35.720] Yeah, damn.
[42:35.720 -> 42:37.160] Which I think is quite high.
[42:37.160 -> 42:38.000] I would do the same as you.
[42:38.000 -> 42:39.520] I was thinking about a track.
[42:39.520 -> 42:40.480] Can't imagine that.
[42:40.480 -> 42:42.680] The straight is super long, super long.
[42:42.680 -> 42:43.880] And then you've got another straight.
[42:43.880 -> 42:46.880] Then they'll do a lot of lift and coasting, wink.
[42:46.880 -> 42:49.080] As you know, which I still don't actually know
[42:49.080 -> 42:49.920] what it means.
[42:49.920 -> 42:50.960] I say it all the time.
[42:50.960 -> 42:51.880] How do you not know what it means?
[42:51.880 -> 42:52.780] It does mean, doesn't it?
[42:52.780 -> 42:55.640] You just lift off the accelerator and just coast around.
[42:55.640 -> 42:59.040] You coast into the corner before hitting the brakes.
[42:59.040 -> 43:01.640] So whereas on the sim, it's like accelerator
[43:01.640 -> 43:03.440] and then brake straight away.
[43:03.440 -> 43:07.640] You would take your foot off the gas, let it roll roll let it coast a bit and then brake yeah it's
[43:07.640 -> 43:11.320] hard to do that on the Xbox remote but yeah if you're a good driver it's not
[43:11.320 -> 43:14.320] that bad. Yeah exactly that's why I don't struggle. Final question of the Pit Stop
[43:14.320 -> 43:18.880] Brazilian quiz which constructor has been the most successful at the
[43:18.880 -> 43:24.040] Brazilian Grand Prix? Remember the drivers you know that just won? Think
[43:24.040 -> 43:26.480] about what teams they might have been at.
[43:26.480 -> 43:28.620] Mercedes, Ferrari, or McLaren?
[43:29.520 -> 43:32.640] The most successful construct at the Brazilian Grand Prix
[43:32.640 -> 43:33.460] ever.
[43:33.460 -> 43:34.300] McLaren.
[43:34.300 -> 43:35.960] Correct! McLaren!
[43:35.960 -> 43:37.680] That deserves a clap!
[43:37.680 -> 43:38.640] Well done, Fab.
[43:38.640 -> 43:42.120] That means you got one, two, three,
[43:43.920 -> 43:45.000] four, five, Oh, six out of ten.
[43:50.600 -> 43:52.520] Six out of 12 possible ones.
[43:52.520 -> 43:53.760] It's better than half.
[43:53.760 -> 43:54.920] No, it's not, it's half.
[43:54.920 -> 43:55.760] That is half.
[43:55.760 -> 43:56.580] Not bad.
[43:56.580 -> 43:57.420] Which isn't bad at all.
[43:57.420 -> 43:58.440] I wonder how you guys did at home.
[43:58.440 -> 43:59.560] Probably.
[43:59.560 -> 44:00.400] Better than fab.
[44:00.400 -> 44:01.640] I reckon there's a few people that didn't think
[44:01.640 -> 44:02.840] Sugarloaf Mountain was real,
[44:02.840 -> 44:06.500] so that was a good shout saying that. Sugar Ray Leonard, one of the greatest...
[44:07.000 -> 44:08.000] Guitar players of all time.
[44:08.000 -> 44:08.600] Exactly.
[44:08.600 -> 44:12.000] Right, mate, I want your predictions for the Brazilian Grand Prix,
[44:12.000 -> 44:15.300] because I know that this is a track that you have a lot of...
[44:15.300 -> 44:16.000] Experience.
[44:16.400 -> 44:17.200] ...experience with.
[44:18.100 -> 44:20.400] So, give me your third place.
[44:22.900 -> 44:25.280] So, my predictions have been really off recently as well.
[44:25.280 -> 44:27.100] That's worth saying I've been really shit.
[44:27.100 -> 44:29.040] So this week I've decided I'm actually-
[44:29.040 -> 44:30.240] You've been the crystal ball.
[44:30.240 -> 44:31.080] Yeah.
[44:31.080 -> 44:31.980] No, I don't need it.
[44:31.980 -> 44:33.640] The crystal ball is fucking gone.
[44:33.640 -> 44:36.960] No more of that terrible stuff.
[44:36.960 -> 44:39.440] Now we're going straight from my knowledge.
[44:39.440 -> 44:41.560] Third place, Lewis Hamilton.
[44:41.560 -> 44:42.520] Okay.
[44:42.520 -> 44:44.200] Mercedes is picking up.
[44:44.200 -> 44:47.360] Hamilton loves Brazil. Brazil loves Hamilton. Mercedes is picking up. Hamilton loves Brazil. Brazil loves Hamilton. I just
[44:47.360 -> 44:50.800] see him being on the podium at least.
[44:50.800 -> 44:51.800] Your third place?
[44:51.800 -> 44:52.800] Oscar.
[44:52.800 -> 44:54.560] Amazing. That would be special.
[44:54.560 -> 44:56.120] I see it as a bit of an Oscar track.
[44:56.120 -> 44:57.280] Yeah, I could see that.
[44:57.280 -> 44:58.520] I do. I really do.
[44:58.520 -> 45:02.320] He was unfortunate last week as well. He had damage early, didn't he?
[45:02.320 -> 45:05.480] I don't know why. Sometimes I just get a mental image of like drivers
[45:05.660 -> 45:12.720] It's all kind of like computerized as math going on everything going on inside my head. He's not he's not an Abu Dhabi
[45:12.720 -> 45:18.000] He's not a Bahraini kind of Qatar kind of guy. Nah, he's more of the Brazil
[45:18.920 -> 45:26.400] Amelia Romanos, they're the rustic ones. That's why he's a bit of a Alonso okay he's better around those more cart-like circuits
[45:26.400 -> 45:27.280] second place?
[45:27.280 -> 45:29.120] Lewis Hamilton
[45:29.120 -> 45:29.620] nice
[45:29.620 -> 45:30.120] you?
[45:30.120 -> 45:34.000] second place I have gone for Max Verstappen
[45:34.000 -> 45:35.000] interesting
[45:35.000 -> 45:35.500] yeah
[45:35.500 -> 45:36.000] okay
[45:36.000 -> 45:41.360] I don't know how because the chances are he probably will get quite far ahead
[45:41.360 -> 45:47.160] but I'm hoping I'm just hoping there's a little bit of space in Brazil I'm hoping maybe
[45:47.160 -> 45:49.800] something happens or qualifying doesn't
[45:49.800 -> 45:51.760] go to plan or I don't know maybe Max
[45:51.760 -> 45:53.520] gets a penalty for something who knows
[45:53.520 -> 45:56.560] yeah fair enough first place first place
[45:56.560 -> 45:58.800] I have gone for max fair and this is
[45:58.800 -> 46:01.000] purely based off of what I witnessed in
[46:01.000 -> 46:06.560] Mexico yeah I watched him pull away from corners.
[46:06.560 -> 46:11.520] I watched that Red Bull just steam out of corners so fast,
[46:11.520 -> 46:14.300] so much quicker than any other driver.
[46:14.300 -> 46:16.040] And for that reason alone,
[46:16.040 -> 46:18.920] I think through those windy turns of Brazil,
[46:19.960 -> 46:22.600] even though it's like 68% pedal to the metal,
[46:22.600 -> 46:24.520] whatever you said, those little windy turns,
[46:24.520 -> 46:25.920] I think he'll just be able to get out of them quicker.
[46:25.920 -> 46:28.160] More traction, more speed.
[46:28.160 -> 46:30.080] I've gone for Lando Norris.
[46:30.080 -> 46:32.320] I think Lando Norris gets his first ever
[46:32.320 -> 46:34.040] Formula One win in Brazil.
[46:34.040 -> 46:36.560] He was absolutely incredible in Mexico.
[46:36.560 -> 46:37.400] Wow.
[46:37.400 -> 46:38.880] The car has been getting better and better.
[46:38.880 -> 46:39.720] Wow.
[46:39.720 -> 46:41.160] Everyone was saying in Mexico,
[46:41.160 -> 46:42.840] if he didn't get fucked in qualifying,
[46:42.840 -> 46:44.760] he would have been right there with Hamilton second.
[46:44.760 -> 46:46.800] You can't say that about Hamilton.
[46:46.800 -> 46:49.800] Hamilton wasn't even that far behind Max.
[46:49.800 -> 46:52.280] I do think it's got to come for Lando
[46:52.280 -> 46:55.360] and if it comes this season, unbelievable
[46:55.360 -> 46:57.480] so I'm saying Lando Norris to win
[46:57.480 -> 47:00.160] Brazil this weekend and I'm saying it
[47:00.160 -> 47:01.880] with my gut. Yep you're saying it with
[47:01.880 -> 47:05.440] your chest. Yeah. Let's end the pod on a high mate
[47:05.440 -> 47:10.720] because I respect that decision so much I would hate to say anything which taints it.
[47:10.720 -> 47:14.640] Yeah I do have one little bold prediction that I do think we will see something really good from
[47:14.640 -> 47:19.840] Albion because I know Williams are very quick in the corners but not necessarily the straights.
[47:19.840 -> 47:25.440] That's your wild card is it? I think Brazil could really work for Albin so my wild card is I reckon you might see Albin higher
[47:25.440 -> 47:28.720] Than normal all right my wild card is going to be
[47:31.140 -> 47:37.000] How wild how wild are you thinking Alonso Alonso in the top six, okay?
[47:37.000 -> 47:39.520] That'd be good to see considering. He's been out of the points for a while
[47:39.520 -> 47:43.000] It's a top six for Alonso. I'd say that'd be good to see we know drug of it
[47:43.000 -> 47:49.600] She's gonna be out there with the Asthma, but But he goes seventh now doesn't he? Big sport, seventh, probably. Maybe Danny Rick will get top ten again, who knows?
[47:49.600 -> 47:54.160] It's going to be a great Grand Prix. We'll be back on Monday morning for our after race review.
[47:54.800 -> 48:01.380] It's going to be a good one. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and enjoys the final days of the week. Any words of motivation?
[48:02.080 -> 48:06.000] Not today mate, no motivation. They don they don't need it Everyone's too pumped
[48:06.000 -> 48:08.000] No one needs any motivation
