[01:05.240 -> 01:11.000] I don't think F1 22 is the most reliable, accurate game to have once really liked in a car though, mate.
[01:11.000 -> 01:13.680] Considering I beat both of you on a controller.
[01:13.680 -> 01:16.640] We did qualifying round Hungary and we beat him.
[01:16.640 -> 01:19.960] Yeah, but it's a game. It's his first time playing the game.
[01:19.960 -> 01:21.160] I was bricking it, bro.
[01:21.280 -> 01:29.420] I was brickin' it bro!
[01:35.020 -> 01:42.140] Ladies and gentlemen, it's lights out and we're foot to the floor for the Hungarian Grand Prix! Situated 20km outside the beautiful city of Budapest, the Hungaria Ring is a savage track!

[02:02.400 -> 02:05.960] Can Daniel Ricciardo make his return to Formula One a stylish one?
[02:05.960 -> 02:07.720] We find out this week!
[02:07.720 -> 02:08.560] Let's go!
[02:10.680 -> 02:12.120] I ain't playing around!
[02:12.120 -> 02:15.080] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Pit Stop!
[02:15.080 -> 02:18.040] I ain't playing around today, Jake Boyce!
[02:18.040 -> 02:20.720] That was a nice poem, and I like the way you stood up.
[02:20.720 -> 02:22.880] Only took two attempts, so not bad at all.
[02:22.880 -> 02:23.720] Well, I'll tell you what,
[02:23.720 -> 02:29.000] I always assumed that commentary was done sat down and then we've seen on TV that
[02:29.000 -> 02:33.840] Crofty stands up for that shit. Yeah they do all standing up. I would like to say I think it's one DRS zone.
[02:33.840 -> 02:39.680] It's I believe it's two DRS zones. Well I'm kind of staring at it here on the Formula
[02:39.680 -> 02:45.520] One website and it does say one DRS zone so there might have been a slight error in the intro
[02:45.520 -> 02:47.840] there seems to be a slight mix-up
[02:47.840 -> 02:51.120] oh I find this problem when I'm getting the lap times it's different everywhere
[02:51.120 -> 02:52.000] fastest laps
[02:52.000 -> 02:56.720] well let's just dive straight into this because this track is notorious for
[02:56.720 -> 02:59.800] being a track that hasn't really has got one straight
[02:59.800 -> 03:02.880] yeah there's only one straight on it people like I said in the intro it's
[03:02.880 -> 03:05.920] been likened to a car circuit
[03:05.920 -> 03:09.680] It's also been likened to a brand's hatch type circuit
[03:11.760 -> 03:17.440] But you've driven it well, you know, I've drove around brands hatch and let me say when I was taking on them apexes
[03:17.440 -> 03:22.120] I actually love driving around brands hatch. That was one of the craziest things I've done. It was great
[03:22.120 -> 03:25.480] I'm I'm not happy about the fact that I could have
[03:25.480 -> 03:27.560] messed up this intro because from the map
[03:27.560 -> 03:28.400] that I'm looking at, we have a-
[03:28.400 -> 03:29.360] Let me see your map.
[03:29.360 -> 03:31.640] We have a DRS zone on the main straight.
[03:31.640 -> 03:33.320] And then as you come around turn one,
[03:33.320 -> 03:34.960] there's another DRS zone there.
[03:34.960 -> 03:37.260] And I don't know whether they've deactivated that
[03:37.260 -> 03:39.640] for this year or whether sometimes it's there,
[03:39.640 -> 03:40.520] sometimes it's not.
[03:40.520 -> 03:42.880] But from what I read online-
[03:42.880 -> 03:44.840] Yeah, I'm only seeing the DRS zones.
[03:44.840 -> 03:46.320] Well, I mean, it's a small DRS zone if that is one, but I'm only seeing the DRS zone. Well I mean it's a small DRS
[03:46.320 -> 03:51.680] zone if that is one but I think it's one DRS zone but yeah one straight it is an interesting track
[03:51.680 -> 03:58.560] I also like the Fernando Alonso mention and the uh and I like the terms you shine and yeah well
[03:58.560 -> 04:03.600] Alonso came to my mind straight away because we had a guest on the pod last week we actually had
[04:03.600 -> 04:06.600] two guests Brad Benavides has already went out.
[04:06.600 -> 04:08.240] I do wanna say, by the way,
[04:08.240 -> 04:09.640] I don't know if we've spoke about it or not.
[04:09.640 -> 04:11.560] We haven't, it was our last episode.
[04:11.560 -> 04:14.120] Brad was one of the most amazing people I've met.
[04:14.120 -> 04:17.360] And that episode for me was one of the best we've done.
[04:17.360 -> 04:18.960] Yeah, we had some incredible feedback.
[04:18.960 -> 04:20.000] Brad got some messages.
[04:20.000 -> 04:24.120] We've had some messages, like he was so honest, so raw.
[04:24.120 -> 04:26.080] I think sometimes we get guests on here
[04:26.080 -> 04:28.520] and maybe we're too nervous to ask questions
[04:28.520 -> 04:29.360] we would want to ask.
[04:29.360 -> 04:30.400] I think that's usually it, isn't it?
[04:30.400 -> 04:34.040] But with him, like, I think the floor was just very open.
[04:34.040 -> 04:34.880] Yeah.
[04:34.880 -> 04:36.840] And it led to a really good episode
[04:36.840 -> 04:38.200] and it's led to a great friendship.
[04:38.200 -> 04:39.960] Like here we are now playing, well, not now,
[04:39.960 -> 04:42.400] he's at the F2 weekend, but we'd be playing Xbox.
[04:42.400 -> 04:43.560] We'd be playing Fortnite last night.
[04:43.560 -> 04:45.000] The guy's unbelievable at Fortnite.
[04:45.000 -> 04:49.000] It's like you and me are sat there like, oh my god, we die within three seconds and they're watching him.
[04:49.000 -> 04:51.000] He literally is unbelievable at Fortnite.
[04:51.000 -> 04:55.000] But no, yeah, we're really lucky to get these F2 drivers on and Brad's story was great.
[04:55.000 -> 05:03.000] We have another guest dropping Saturday 10am and we can tell you, it's Gabi Bortoletto, the guy winning F3.
[05:03.000 -> 05:04.000] Oh, we're just gonna say it?
[05:04.000 -> 05:06.440] Well, Brad gave the spoiler in the last episode,
[05:06.440 -> 05:07.720] so everyone knows it's coming.
[05:07.720 -> 05:09.320] All right, so going back to where I was,
[05:09.320 -> 05:11.200] Gabby Bortoletto, he,
[05:11.200 -> 05:13.020] I don't wanna give too much away about the pod,
[05:13.020 -> 05:15.560] but he had the chance to go drive
[05:15.560 -> 05:17.000] Fernando Alonso's kart track.
[05:17.000 -> 05:17.840] Yeah.
[05:17.840 -> 05:18.680] And then he said, you know,
[05:18.680 -> 05:20.320] you guys will hear about all of this in the episode
[05:20.320 -> 05:21.840] coming up, so get ready for that.
[05:21.840 -> 05:24.240] But he talked about how Alonso showed up
[05:24.240 -> 05:28.040] like halfway through the day and was just smashing everyone now I know it's
[05:28.040 -> 05:31.520] his circuit I know you know he would have I don't know whether he designed it
[05:31.520 -> 05:35.680] or what but it's his you know it's his place he's gonna be quick around it but
[05:35.680 -> 05:41.080] I do hear that the guy is just extremely fast in a car anyway so he's gonna be I
[05:41.080 -> 05:44.680] don't know I don't want to put too much out there but I feel like the hungarian
[05:44.680 -> 05:45.880] is gonna be his place.
[05:45.920 -> 05:46.560] Well, let's see.
[05:46.560 -> 05:50.440] We could do with Aston Martin bringing something because we know Red Bull,
[05:50.560 -> 05:53.480] we'll definitely get into it in today's pub because apparently Red Bull
[05:53.480 -> 05:54.440] have bought some upgrades.
[05:54.440 -> 05:56.440] Not that not that they need them.
[05:56.440 -> 05:57.840] But yeah, Saturday, 10 a.m.
[05:57.840 -> 06:00.960] Gabby Bortoletto, he's winning F3, one of the most exciting
[06:00.960 -> 06:04.120] young drivers in the world, an amazing guy, an amazing episode.
[06:04.360 -> 06:06.520] Can't wait for you guys to hear that.
[06:06.520 -> 06:09.440] But here we go, the Hungry Ring Grand Prix.
[06:09.440 -> 06:10.840] Daniel Ricciardo is back,
[06:10.840 -> 06:13.500] and I think the people that will be happiest about it
[06:13.500 -> 06:14.880] is Netflix.
[06:14.880 -> 06:18.680] Netflix are probably rubbing their hands together going,
[06:18.680 -> 06:22.880] thank God we have something for this year's series.
[06:22.880 -> 06:24.880] I had a conversation with my dad earlier,
[06:24.880 -> 06:26.400] and I feel like
[06:27.040 -> 06:28.800] DTS I
[06:28.800 -> 06:32.200] Don't know how much pool they have. I don't know you you wouldn't a lot
[06:32.200 -> 06:35.780] You wouldn't expect them to be able to call the shots for a sport
[06:35.780 -> 06:41.960] They have they're allowed by a fun to have a camera everywhere and follow everyone
[06:41.960 -> 06:45.080] They are literally in control of the media hub.
[06:45.080 -> 06:46.440] Like they can film whatever they want.
[06:46.440 -> 06:47.720] They have big pull.
[06:47.720 -> 06:49.680] Well, we've been talking throughout these pods this year
[06:49.680 -> 06:51.400] and we've been saying to each other,
[06:51.400 -> 06:55.300] how can this year be a drive to survive series?
[06:55.300 -> 06:56.560] There hasn't been much that's happened.
[06:56.560 -> 06:57.600] There hasn't been a lot, no.
[06:57.600 -> 06:59.040] Aston Martin started out strong,
[06:59.040 -> 07:00.240] you know, they got a podium in their first race.
[07:00.240 -> 07:02.200] They would have made a lot out of McLaren and Silverstone.
[07:02.200 -> 07:03.520] McLaren and Silverstone,
[07:03.520 -> 07:08.000] maybe going into the Ferrari situation a bit more and what's going on there behind the scenes.
[07:08.000 -> 07:13.000] But, you know, we were like, what's going to happen? You know, it's going to be like a three episode series.
[07:13.000 -> 07:18.000] Do you know what? I actually kind of wish that they're doing a big bit on Alfa Romeo early on
[07:18.000 -> 07:21.000] because they quite like to see Bottas behind the scenes right now.
[07:21.000 -> 07:25.200] This is a guy that is used to with Mercedes for so long being at the front
[07:25.200 -> 07:30.880] you know one two podiums a lot. I'd like to see Bottas at the moment you don't hear much from him
[07:30.880 -> 07:34.960] and I'd like that you know he seems quite calm and he's happy and content you know he's always
[07:34.960 -> 07:42.640] cycling and naked in pools. I reckon they would have I reckon the whole time they've followed
[07:42.640 -> 07:46.160] Daniel while he's not racing I reckon they would have shown that.
[07:46.160 -> 07:48.680] And if they have, and they have all the footage,
[07:48.680 -> 07:51.080] that period of time is gonna,
[07:51.080 -> 07:52.720] it will be one of the best series they've done
[07:52.720 -> 07:55.320] because they'll be able to show, you know,
[07:55.320 -> 07:58.160] his emotion through leaving.
[07:58.160 -> 07:59.820] You know, no one knows how he was.
[07:59.820 -> 08:01.200] Daniel's always smiling on camera,
[08:01.200 -> 08:02.800] but no one really knows what he was like
[08:02.800 -> 08:06.840] while he was away from F1, I don't think, you know, unless you're a Daniel Ricciardo mega fan.
[08:06.840 -> 08:11.400] So to be able to see that journey of him coming back in, plus you've also got the side of
[08:11.400 -> 08:14.760] Nick Davries leaving, that's also going to be massive for the series.
[08:14.760 -> 08:17.900] You just completely reminded me that we actually have another guest coming in a couple of weeks
[08:17.900 -> 08:23.800] who's going to give us some even more very exciting Daniel Ricciardo stuff, isn't he?
[08:23.800 -> 08:26.840] Someone who knows Daniel Ric Daniel Ricardo very well. We have a guest coming
[08:27.360 -> 08:29.860] Start of next month and we're doing
[08:30.520 -> 08:32.960] something special. Pit stop is
[08:34.000 -> 08:36.080] Expanding. We're expanding. Developing? No.
[08:36.640 -> 08:42.120] We are. Growing. We're growing. Yeah, there's there's some serious serious stuff going down guys
[08:42.120 -> 08:44.680] We've been growing as people over the last couple of months haven't we?
[08:46.040 -> 08:47.040] Have we?
[08:47.040 -> 08:49.440] I'd hope we're getting older every day so I just think we are.
[08:49.440 -> 08:51.440] You're nearly in a relationship.
[08:51.440 -> 08:53.440] That reminds me, Fab's got a plant.
[08:53.440 -> 08:55.840] Fab's got a new plant coming today for the flat.
[08:55.840 -> 08:57.880] Yep, it's currently quarter past two.
[08:57.880 -> 08:59.920] I'm collecting a plant from...
[08:59.920 -> 09:00.920] I'm...
[09:00.920 -> 09:02.480] Fab's joined the Neighbourhood Watch group chat.
[09:02.480 -> 09:05.280] I've joined the Neighbourhood Watch WhatsApp group. People are complaining here a lot bro. I'm just waiting for the day that the neighborhood watch group chat. Join the neighborhood watch WhatsApp group.
[09:05.280 -> 09:06.800] People complain in there a lot, bro.
[09:06.800 -> 09:08.040] I'm just waiting for the day
[09:08.040 -> 09:09.720] that the complaint is about us.
[09:09.720 -> 09:11.680] It's like there's these two guys doing this
[09:11.680 -> 09:13.160] and media will just be sat there
[09:13.160 -> 09:15.400] always screaming with the balcony doors open.
[09:15.400 -> 09:16.640] Back to it, back to it.
[09:16.640 -> 09:17.520] Yep.
[09:17.520 -> 09:19.040] Right, here we go.
[09:19.040 -> 09:21.780] Nick DeVries has been replaced by Daniel Ricciardo.
[09:21.780 -> 09:24.020] An interesting thing that has come out
[09:24.020 -> 09:25.580] is that it was actually
[09:25.580 -> 09:30.720] decided a little while ago, which as we kind of told everyone on the pod, but it was actually
[09:30.720 -> 09:38.160] decided 11 laps into Daniel Ricciardo's test at Silverstone. So that wasn't obviously for
[09:38.160 -> 09:43.560] the Silverstone Grand Prix, that was before. So they've known quite a... I actually think
[09:43.560 -> 09:46.340] it was probably perfectly in time when we told everyone,
[09:46.340 -> 09:47.860] when we said he'd gone for the seat fed
[09:47.860 -> 09:49.820] and AlphaTauri about three months ago,
[09:49.820 -> 09:52.180] that is actually when this started happening
[09:52.180 -> 09:53.740] and no one believed us.
[09:53.740 -> 09:57.060] So Pit Stop isn't the worst podcast in the world.
[09:57.060 -> 09:57.900] Despite the rating.
[09:57.900 -> 09:58.780] Just one of them.
[09:58.780 -> 10:01.400] My dad is a big TikTok user now.
[10:01.400 -> 10:03.900] Ever since you and me started on TikTok.
[10:03.900 -> 10:06.400] I know it's weird, but yeah, my dad uses TikTok
[10:06.400 -> 10:09.680] and we have chats and he said to me that,
[10:09.680 -> 10:10.960] I think I said this in the last pod
[10:10.960 -> 10:12.040] when we spoke about Ricardo,
[10:12.040 -> 10:16.400] but apparently Ricardo went out in the Red Bull for a test
[10:16.400 -> 10:19.480] and his lap time would have beaten Max's pole time
[10:19.480 -> 10:21.120] at that lap in the Red Bull.
[10:22.920 -> 10:25.120] Now I don't know whether he was testing in the current car,
[10:25.120 -> 10:26.560] I don't know what car he was testing in,
[10:26.560 -> 10:27.400] but apparently-
[10:27.400 -> 10:28.240] Or has your dad got that off a dodgy website?
[10:28.240 -> 10:29.960] No, my dad's got that from TikTok.
[10:29.960 -> 10:30.800] That's what I'm saying.
[10:30.800 -> 10:31.620] A dodgy TikTok?
[10:31.620 -> 10:32.460] A dodgy website, yeah.
[10:32.460 -> 10:33.300] Yeah.
[10:33.300 -> 10:34.120] A dodgy app.
[10:34.120 -> 10:36.720] Don't get me wrong, I do expect him to be quick.
[10:36.720 -> 10:40.120] I do think, well, this is a good conversation.
[10:40.120 -> 10:43.840] His first race back, Alfa Tauri, does he beat Yuki?
[10:44.760 -> 10:48.000] Is he quicker than Yuki in a car that Yuki has driven,
[10:48.000 -> 10:50.000] you know, for multiple races now?
[10:50.000 -> 10:53.200] Do you think he can step in and get to grips with it that quick?
[10:53.200 -> 10:55.760] As we know, through talking with Freddie Hunt,
[10:55.760 -> 10:58.880] the mind monkeys that he calls them, that voice in your head,
[10:59.520 -> 11:02.800] it's a barrier that stops you from progressing.
[11:02.800 -> 11:08.040] And that's nothing to do with, like, you know, your physical attributes as purely a mind game thing.
[11:08.040 -> 11:09.920] Daniel suffered with that last year.
[11:09.920 -> 11:12.560] That's why he was not doing the way, you know,
[11:12.560 -> 11:13.380] that he wanted to.
[11:13.380 -> 11:14.840] But hopefully with this time away,
[11:14.840 -> 11:18.880] he's managed to reset and kind of recalibrate his brain
[11:18.880 -> 11:20.320] and get back into that mindset.
[11:20.320 -> 11:22.760] And I think when you haven't got the pressure on
[11:22.760 -> 11:24.440] of trying to, you know,
[11:24.440 -> 11:25.480] he was competing against Lando last year pressure on of trying to, you know, he was competing
[11:25.480 -> 11:28.560] against Lando last year and he was trying to beat that guy.
[11:28.560 -> 11:31.200] But I think being in a way, being able to step
[11:31.200 -> 11:33.300] in a car for a test, know that you're not racing,
[11:33.300 -> 11:35.160] there's no points riding on it.
[11:35.160 -> 11:36.600] He would have been quick in that Red Bull,
[11:36.600 -> 11:39.240] but can he apply it in a race situation now?
[11:39.240 -> 11:41.500] He would have been desperate to get back in the car.
[11:41.500 -> 11:44.520] Yeah, I just wonder, I mean, do you reckon Al Fatari
[11:44.520 -> 11:46.300] are building the car around him?
[11:46.300 -> 11:47.760] Like, do you reckon it's very much like,
[11:47.760 -> 11:49.840] Daniel, would you want us to change?
[11:49.840 -> 11:51.880] I reckon they're gonna do anything that they can.
[11:51.880 -> 11:52.720] Yeah.
[11:52.720 -> 11:56.160] Because, again, Papa Bocca coming through today,
[11:56.160 -> 11:58.680] he told me that apparently Sergio
[11:58.680 -> 12:01.400] has been locked in for 2024,
[12:01.400 -> 12:05.000] but the idea is to get Riccardo back in the Red Bull for 25.
[12:07.640 -> 12:08.480] 2025.
[12:08.480 -> 12:10.200] I did also hear similar.
[12:10.200 -> 12:12.920] I did also hear similar that this is pretty much
[12:12.920 -> 12:14.680] Riccardo warming up for that Red Bull.
[12:14.680 -> 12:16.040] That's a year and a half away.
[12:16.040 -> 12:20.640] Now it does get to the point where if the grid is as spread
[12:20.640 -> 12:21.600] as it is at the moment,
[12:21.600 -> 12:23.700] where like you have a McLaren and Silverstone Ferrari
[12:23.700 -> 12:28.040] might randomly get a second or third or whatever. It's too hard for these other constructors
[12:28.040 -> 12:34.000] to get enough points together to even get anywhere near Max. Like Max gets enough points
[12:34.000 -> 12:38.640] on his own pretty much to win Red Bull the constructors. So what I'm saying is, is I
[12:38.640 -> 12:45.160] reckon Red Bull is smart enough, they know that if they put Danny Rick as that second driver it makes the
[12:45.160 -> 12:50.560] team look so much better like everyone loves Danny Rick so it's a great move
[12:50.560 -> 12:55.200] for the team to have Danny Rick but how weird might that be because arguably
[12:55.200 -> 12:58.960] like people love Danny Rick more than Max, I love Max, a load of people love Max
[12:58.960 -> 13:02.760] but Danny Rick is so famous all over the world you could have a second driver
[13:02.760 -> 13:08.760] that is like ten times bigger than your number one driver that will probably be a three four five times
[13:08.760 -> 13:13.880] world champion I would liken it to and it's a bit different but this is fab
[13:13.880 -> 13:20.760] coming back into the football comparison it's great yeah thank you it's like
[13:20.760 -> 13:25.440] David Beckham going to play in the States. That's not a bad.
[13:25.440 -> 13:26.280] Is that good?
[13:28.320 -> 13:30.420] Apart from he was more towards the end of his career,
[13:30.420 -> 13:32.440] whereas Ricardo still probably,
[13:32.440 -> 13:34.000] he's got many years left still,
[13:34.000 -> 13:36.420] but it's like it's a name that everyone knows,
[13:36.420 -> 13:40.600] a face, a character, a star, a celebrity.
[13:40.600 -> 13:43.360] And maybe the States wanted Beckham because of who he was.
[13:43.360 -> 13:45.120] Maybe F1 needs Ricardo back for who he is
[13:45.440 -> 13:51.160] Do you know what seemed David Beckham joined when he went to the MLS? No, LA Galaxy, LA Galaxy
[13:51.640 -> 13:55.240] 250 million dollars over five years. Yeah, did he stay for five years?
[13:55.240 -> 13:57.680] No, they loaned him to AC Milan for a little bit of it
[13:57.680 -> 14:02.920] But he's recently set up his own team into Miami and they just signed Lionel Messi
[14:02.960 -> 14:07.120] What and you know he bought that team for $25 million
[14:07.120 -> 14:10.080] because in his MLS contract, when he went to America,
[14:10.080 -> 14:13.000] he had a deal that he would be allowed to buy an MLS club
[14:13.000 -> 14:13.840] for only 25 million.
[14:13.840 -> 14:15.040] What does MLS mean?
[14:15.040 -> 14:15.880] Major League Soccer.
[14:15.880 -> 14:17.960] It's basically the Premier League.
[14:17.960 -> 14:19.120] He had a deal.
[14:19.120 -> 14:21.620] There's so much stuff that goes on behind the scenes
[14:21.620 -> 14:24.200] of this stuff that you never really know what's going on
[14:24.200 -> 14:26.360] because people will make a move five years prior
[14:26.360 -> 14:28.280] for something in their contract
[14:28.280 -> 14:29.760] that is agreed five years on.
[14:29.760 -> 14:32.520] That's so cheap, 25 mil for a team though.
[14:32.520 -> 14:34.520] Yeah, but these teams, it is really cheap.
[14:34.520 -> 14:36.240] It's David Beckham and he's just signed
[14:36.240 -> 14:37.360] Lionel Messi to the team.
[14:37.360 -> 14:39.080] At the end of the day, his name pulls players.
[14:39.080 -> 14:40.920] This is about as far as my football chat goes.
[14:40.920 -> 14:43.280] So let's stop this shit here.
[14:43.280 -> 14:46.280] You talking about behind the scenes real quick,
[14:46.280 -> 14:49.080] it sparked my brain there because we had Chloe Grant
[14:49.080 -> 14:51.240] on the pod, F1 Academy driver.
[14:51.240 -> 14:54.680] We put a few clips up and on YouTube,
[14:54.680 -> 14:57.840] I saw someone comment and it was a valid comment to be fair.
[14:57.840 -> 15:00.360] They said, you know, I've got to say guys,
[15:00.360 -> 15:02.920] you talk about how you want to kind of expand
[15:02.920 -> 15:04.240] the behind the scenes,
[15:04.240 -> 15:06.520] especially like the financial side of Formula One.
[15:07.000 -> 15:10.640] And we, we kind of touched on it with Chloe, but we didn't really go into it
[15:10.960 -> 15:14.440] because you know, she's young. Her dad was here. I don't know.
[15:14.440 -> 15:15.640] The situation wasn't right,
[15:15.680 -> 15:18.480] but I then wanted to comment back to that person and say, well,
[15:18.480 -> 15:21.360] check out our episode we did with Brad, because with Brad,
[15:21.360 -> 15:27.680] we really did touch on the financial side and the struggles of at least Formula 2
[15:27.680 -> 15:29.360] You know, you know F1's gonna be even crazier
[15:29.360 -> 15:32.120] So but then even with Gabby, Gabby goes into figures as well
[15:32.120 -> 15:37.480] He says some figures of what it is in different things as well. Yeah, and it was like the complete polar opposite to Brad
[15:37.520 -> 15:41.680] Yeah, it's um, I'm really excited about Gabby that's coming out on Saturday
[15:41.680 -> 15:47.480] But yeah overall of what I just said Y Yuki or Ricardo, who finishes higher this weekend?
[15:47.480 -> 15:50.800] Do you really think Ricardo can step in and just...
[15:50.800 -> 15:52.500] The crazy thing is he has to perform.
[15:52.500 -> 15:55.560] People love him and he may have a Red Bull seat lined up,
[15:55.560 -> 15:57.520] but not if he doesn't perform.
[15:57.520 -> 15:58.340] Yeah.
[15:58.340 -> 15:59.180] I don't know.
[15:59.180 -> 16:01.560] I wouldn't hold my hopes up for the first race back,
[16:01.560 -> 16:02.720] but let's see.
[16:02.720 -> 16:03.560] I don't know.
[16:03.560 -> 16:04.380] I don't know.
[16:04.380 -> 16:05.440] It's Ricardo, maybe. The other thing to bear in mind. I don't know. It's Ricciardo, maybe.
[16:05.440 -> 16:07.360] The other thing to bear in mind is that, you know,
[16:07.360 -> 16:08.680] they're going to be rebranded next year.
[16:08.680 -> 16:10.440] It's not going to be Alfa Tauri next year.
[16:10.440 -> 16:12.680] And they're dumbing it down and they're saying, you know,
[16:12.680 -> 16:14.120] it's already going to change the livery,
[16:14.120 -> 16:15.280] the name and shit like that.
[16:15.280 -> 16:18.240] But there could be some extra stuff coming to Alfa Tauri
[16:18.240 -> 16:20.520] that we don't fully know about next year.
[16:20.520 -> 16:21.360] And if that's the case,
[16:21.360 -> 16:24.720] maybe Daniel could have a more impressive car next year.
[16:24.720 -> 16:28.400] Let's just predict where we think Daniel Ricciardo finishes this weekend right now.
[16:28.400 -> 16:30.900] I say he finishes...
[16:30.900 -> 16:31.900] In the points, I think.
[16:31.900 -> 16:36.400] 13th. Don't kill me, no one kill me, I know that might have pissed a lot of people off.
[16:36.400 -> 16:38.900] Really? 13th? It's an Alfa Tauri now.
[16:38.900 -> 16:39.900] It's Daniel Ricciardo!
[16:39.900 -> 16:41.900] It's an Alfa Tauri!
[16:41.900 -> 16:43.900] I put him 9th.
[16:43.900 -> 16:44.900] Okay, fair.
[16:44.900 -> 16:45.000] I put him in the points, put him 9th. Okay, fair.
[16:45.000 -> 16:46.000] I put him in the points, put him 9th.
[16:46.000 -> 16:49.000] I would love him in the points. I would be so happy if you did.
[16:49.000 -> 16:53.000] I mean, yeah, well, I don't know, who knows.
[16:53.000 -> 16:57.000] Big, big news as well is that obviously as we know Red Bull tied with McLaren now.
[16:57.000 -> 17:03.000] They're on the same record. 11 consecutive wins. McLaren set it in 1988.
[17:03.000 -> 17:06.240] Red Bull matched it in Silverstone. Red Bull
[17:06.240 -> 17:12.800] will be breaking a massive record here. That's not been beaten since 1988. If they win one
[17:12.800 -> 17:21.120] more, 12 in a row, that is quite something and they're bringing an upgrade. Now, Fabian
[17:21.120 -> 17:31.920] Nui, what do you have for me on the new Red Bull side pods? Red Bull have new side pods for Hungary, which they are hoping is going to make them 0.2 seconds quicker,
[17:31.920 -> 17:34.560] aka 2 tenths, per lap.
[17:34.560 -> 17:35.280] Okay.
[17:35.280 -> 17:38.800] Now, as we know, Red Bull don't need this because they have been dominating,
[17:38.800 -> 17:45.540] but, you know, I think everyone has tried to copy Red Bull's style of car recently.
[17:45.540 -> 17:47.540] You know, people have been chopping their car up
[17:47.540 -> 17:49.360] a little bit, chopping a change in a few bits
[17:49.360 -> 17:51.380] to kind of match the Red Bull car.
[17:51.380 -> 17:54.240] And Red Bull have said, you know what, F all you guys.
[17:54.240 -> 17:55.600] We're fucking doing it the way we want to do it.
[17:55.600 -> 17:56.900] Let's just change them.
[17:56.900 -> 17:58.760] It is like Cal said on the pod when we,
[17:58.760 -> 18:00.340] well, maybe when we're speaking to him off it,
[18:00.340 -> 18:01.860] he was saying how, like, to be honest,
[18:01.860 -> 18:03.820] if people copy it by the time they have put it
[18:03.820 -> 18:06.520] into production, like they're going to be in their new, because Red Bull time they have put it into production like they're gonna be in their new because
[18:06.520 -> 18:09.000] Red Bull are constantly evolving here I've actually got a picture of it in
[18:09.000 -> 18:12.360] front of me of the side pods the new ones you can see the difference I'll
[18:12.360 -> 18:15.780] just spin it round this is the car they started with this season you can see
[18:15.780 -> 18:19.240] this is the cooling system in the side pod it's quite wide the cooling system
[18:19.240 -> 18:23.080] then got smaller and now the cooling system looks like a little post box on
[18:23.080 -> 18:28.480] the side right so they have someone listening going, that's not a calling system.
[18:28.480 -> 18:33.200] But I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that it's the big changes onto the calling system.
[18:33.200 -> 18:39.760] We need a maybe like an ex Red Bull employee or someone to come on and speak a bit more about it.
[18:41.200 -> 18:42.160] Any ideas?
[18:42.160 -> 18:42.560] Yeah.
[18:43.200 -> 18:43.520] Who?
[18:44.720 -> 18:45.400] Uh, Blake. Very true. We actually could get Blake. We should maybe get Blake. Mm-hmm. Any ideas? Yeah. Who?
[18:45.400 -> 18:46.680] Blake?
[18:46.680 -> 18:47.240] Very true.
[18:47.240 -> 18:48.600] We actually could get Blake.
[18:48.600 -> 18:49.480] We should maybe get Blake on.
[18:49.480 -> 18:50.600] We do actually need to get him on.
[18:50.600 -> 18:52.440] He'd come and answer loads of our questions.
[18:52.440 -> 18:53.000] He would.
[18:53.000 -> 18:54.000] Maybe we should do that.
[18:54.000 -> 18:54.760] We should.
[18:54.760 -> 18:55.560] Let's do that.
[18:55.560 -> 18:56.640] We should.
[18:56.640 -> 18:58.880] It's also going to be a big weekend in Formula 2,
[18:58.880 -> 19:01.640] because there's only five races remaining.
[19:01.640 -> 19:09.720] Vesti is out front by six points. Porsche 129, Vesti 135. I mean our
[19:09.720 -> 19:14.320] man Oli Berman is fourth with 88 points. Fourth? I thought he was fifth. So that's
[19:14.320 -> 19:19.080] great. That's great. Now we have the previous two winners of F2 on our
[19:19.080 -> 19:22.320] leaderboard and we were hoping it would be Oli Berman so we could say we had the
[19:22.320 -> 19:26.640] last three years. It's possible but but we're going to need to see something
[19:26.640 -> 19:28.840] unbelievably good from Oli Berman this weekend.
[19:28.840 -> 19:29.840] Who's third?
[19:29.840 -> 19:30.800] Third is Owassa.
[19:30.800 -> 19:33.240] And what's the points difference between Oli and Owassa?
[19:33.240 -> 19:36.040] Well, Owassa's on 111 and Oli's on 88.
[19:36.040 -> 19:36.880] That's okay.
[19:36.880 -> 19:38.480] So 12, 23 points between them.
[19:38.480 -> 19:39.600] So a race win.
[19:39.600 -> 19:41.360] A race win for Oli here could be,
[19:42.440 -> 19:44.200] we were speaking about Oli the other day on the balcony.
[19:44.200 -> 19:46.840] He's young. He's clearly very quick.
[19:46.840 -> 19:49.800] He's a very good driver, but there's just like,
[19:49.800 -> 19:53.400] there's just a little bit of like inexperience, I think.
[19:53.400 -> 19:54.240] Understandably.
[19:54.240 -> 19:55.400] Yeah, it's going to happen, isn't it?
[19:55.400 -> 19:56.880] It's his first year in F2.
[19:56.880 -> 20:01.880] Yeah, he doesn't need to win F2 to make that jump to F1,
[20:01.920 -> 20:04.600] but then, you know, you said he could,
[20:04.600 -> 20:07.040] you know, we don't really know what the fuck we're talking about.
[20:07.040 -> 20:10.960] But, Oli could probably do another year in F2 after this,
[20:10.960 -> 20:13.560] because where is the seat for him in F1 anyway?
[20:13.560 -> 20:15.080] There isn't going to be one.
[20:15.080 -> 20:15.920] I don't know.
[20:15.920 -> 20:17.560] Yeah, and also if you win F2, you can't stay in F2.
[20:17.560 -> 20:19.520] So do you reckon a few drivers that are quite young,
[20:19.520 -> 20:20.800] if they were like second or third,
[20:20.800 -> 20:21.640] will be thinking,
[20:21.640 -> 20:23.200] I'd probably rather do another year in F2.
[20:23.200 -> 20:27.400] I don't mind if I don't win, because I can stay here. Potentially yeah yeah we know
[20:27.400 -> 20:30.120] that some drivers you know wouldn't be able to afford another season in F2
[20:30.120 -> 20:35.320] which is which is sad but Oli will need more I think. I would hate to see
[20:35.320 -> 20:39.040] him kind of get stuck as a Ferrari reserve driver and then nothing
[20:39.040 -> 20:44.100] happen. It's quite weird being in TF2 and like knowing a lot of the
[20:44.100 -> 20:45.480] drivers because it's such a crowded TF2 and like knowing a lot of the drivers because
[20:49.120 -> 20:49.220] It's such a crowded place F1 that realistically a lot of these people
[20:53.040 -> 20:55.320] Well, I you just have to say it like a lot of this grid obviously will never make F1 Yeah, but they're very very good drivers
[20:55.320 -> 20:55.840] Yeah
[20:55.840 -> 20:59.920] But it's just such a crowded place as you see with De Vries a lot of people say he was one of the best
[20:59.980 -> 21:04.120] Quickest carters one of the best people coming into F1. Yeah now he's gone and
[21:04.760 -> 21:05.680] He may be going to Formula gone and he may be going
[21:05.680 -> 21:11.520] to formula e he may be going back to formula e yeah with uh well nissan have expressed their
[21:11.520 -> 21:19.920] interest okay okay yeah he's won formula e before yeah do you reckon oh it's so tough his statement
[21:19.920 -> 21:29.200] he put out was sad and like you got a feel for him really he's wanted that his whole life yeah and to be replaced by someone that everyone loves is even
[21:29.200 -> 21:34.400] harder because you see all of everyone being buzzing about it like f1 posting
[21:34.400 -> 21:37.920] all the time about it he's just gonna be there like you know it's a bit like
[21:37.920 -> 21:43.680] what about me yeah I say he went he had a he went a bit quiet on the old socials
[21:43.680 -> 21:47.880] understandably and then he posted posted, it was actually yesterday,
[21:49.200 -> 21:51.560] a picture of himself as a kid in his race suit.
[21:51.560 -> 21:56.080] And he kind of just said everything on Instagram.
[21:56.080 -> 21:57.920] He wanted to thank Red Bull and Al Fatari
[21:57.920 -> 21:58.920] for the opportunity.
[21:58.920 -> 22:02.940] And yeah, I think he's hurting that it's ended prematurely,
[22:02.940 -> 22:05.160] but he said something in there, which I always kind of try and live my life by. And it's it's ended prematurely, but he he said something in there
[22:05.160 -> 22:09.860] Which I always kind of try and live my life by and it's not about the destination. It's about the journey
[22:10.160 -> 22:12.160] That's that's purely what it is. I
[22:12.540 -> 22:15.840] Tell that to myself. Yeah, anytime I'm walking anywhere. I'm always in a hurry
[22:15.840 -> 22:21.600] I'm always just trying to get to where I need to go to but it is about the journey and I don't art me personally
[22:21.600 -> 22:23.600] I don't like to think too far ahead in the future
[22:23.980 -> 22:25.840] People ask us questions like,
[22:25.840 -> 22:28.160] where do you think Pitstop's going to be in five years or whatever?
[22:28.160 -> 22:29.600] And I'm like, I don't even think about that.
[22:29.600 -> 22:32.240] I just, I'm enjoying where I am.
[22:32.240 -> 22:35.360] And I think if you're a racing driver, even if you're a competitive person,
[22:35.360 -> 22:39.120] you should probably take your head out of it and just enjoy where you are.
[22:39.120 -> 22:43.440] F1, it seems like it's the pinnacle of motor racing in a lot of ways.
[22:43.440 -> 22:45.120] But I think if you're actually a racing driver, you know, maybe it's the pinnacle of motor racing in a lot of ways, but I think if you're actually a
[22:45.920 -> 22:48.720] racing driver, you know, maybe it's not all about that.
[22:49.440 -> 22:53.200] You've also got to remember like we're an F1 show, we don't look at IndyCar, we don't really
[22:53.200 -> 22:58.400] look at F Formula E as much, and there's other series that to other drivers that's their goal
[22:58.400 -> 23:03.040] to get into, and these are massive series all around the world, so I obviously wish him the
[23:03.040 -> 23:09.300] best of luck, it is a shame, but can't wait to see what he does next talking about all the other series around the world
[23:09.640 -> 23:14.920] Jake and fab were talking about potentially get involved in a little something. Well, we all right now
[23:15.080 -> 23:22.040] This is a big big big thing. I don't know if we should know maybe we shouldn't say much and it might not happen
[23:22.040 -> 23:24.040] It's just an idea that we had
[23:25.920 -> 23:30.360] shouldn't say much and it might not happen it's just an idea that we had. The holidays start here at Fred Meyer with a variety of options to celebrate traditions

[24:26.800 -> 24:28.760] The idea is,
[24:29.920 -> 24:34.200] could two idiots get into racing?
[24:34.200 -> 24:37.480] Yeah, it doesn't matter what, how low down it is,
[24:37.480 -> 24:38.320] you know what I mean?
[24:38.320 -> 24:41.000] It could be car and it could be, it could be anything.
[24:41.000 -> 24:41.840] Yeah.
[24:41.840 -> 24:42.680] But could we do it?
[24:42.680 -> 24:50.680] Like, could we go and race somewhere in something like could we get our racing license it would be fully legitimate it
[24:50.680 -> 24:55.560] wouldn't be pit stop trying to like wear my way in and get a leg up by someone
[24:55.560 -> 25:00.360] we would do this fully legitimately if you guys want to see that at home let us
[25:00.360 -> 25:07.840] know because I think it would be pretty funny yeah if that sparks anyone's ideas or knows any way or anything we could potentially do,
[25:07.840 -> 25:11.600] our Instagram is at Pitstop, please do send us a message and let us know.
[25:11.600 -> 25:15.280] I think it could be really funny, obviously we're always thinking of new ideas and you guys are
[25:15.280 -> 25:17.040] always sending some funny stuff.
[25:17.040 -> 25:20.560] I back ourselves because I don't know whether I should give this out or not,
[25:20.560 -> 25:23.440] but maybe I will because it's just funny, I'm sure he won't care.
[25:23.440 -> 25:28.400] We were playing, we played Fortnite with Brad, but we also played f-122 with Brad
[25:28.400 -> 25:31.360] mmm Brad Benavides for anyone who's watched the episode
[25:31.360 -> 25:36.720] f-122 is the most reliable accurate game to have what it's really like in a car though mate
[25:36.720 -> 25:40.760] considering I beat both of you on a controller well that's the thing it's a
[25:40.760 -> 25:44.900] bit ridiculous because the guy went out and set a 105.621 on our fastest lap
[25:44.900 -> 25:46.680] round Austria on our sim.
[25:46.680 -> 25:51.600] Now our sim's clearly set up properly for the game, for the thing, so he is quick.
[25:51.600 -> 25:57.200] However, we did qualifying round Hungary and we beat him.
[25:57.200 -> 25:59.200] Yeah, but it's a game!
[25:59.200 -> 26:01.440] It's his first time playing the game!
[26:01.440 -> 26:02.880] I was bricking it, bro!
[26:02.880 -> 26:05.280] In the race he was behind me and I thought this is it,
[26:05.280 -> 26:06.120] it's game over.
[26:06.120 -> 26:08.120] I noticed him do moves though.
[26:08.120 -> 26:11.000] When I was driving behind him he was going around cars
[26:11.000 -> 26:13.080] in a way that I've never played that game.
[26:13.080 -> 26:14.240] I heard you say it.
[26:14.240 -> 26:16.060] I think I was in front, you were behind him
[26:16.060 -> 26:18.120] and you could watch him overtake other people.
[26:18.120 -> 26:20.800] Yeah, cause my tactic on F1 22 is to just go around
[26:20.800 -> 26:23.560] the corner and barge him off, cause we play without damage.
[26:23.560 -> 26:26.320] But he like proper finds that gap.
[26:26.320 -> 26:28.840] He knows exactly what he's doing.
[26:28.840 -> 26:30.820] No, it's, you know what, I can't wait for Hungary
[26:30.820 -> 26:34.380] this weekend, but mainly because we saw the McLarens
[26:34.380 -> 26:36.340] back for Silverstone.
[26:36.340 -> 26:37.180] Oh yeah.
[26:37.180 -> 26:39.720] Now, Lando finished second, Oscar finished fourth,
[26:39.720 -> 26:41.480] Oscar probably should have had podium,
[26:41.480 -> 26:44.180] but the safety car just didn't really work for him.
[26:44.180 -> 26:47.440] Where does this leave McLaren now like are we going into?
[26:48.040 -> 26:49.100] Hungary
[26:49.100 -> 26:55.600] Assuming that we might have Lando second again like surely the car isn't just gonna be quick one week and then next week not quick
[26:55.800 -> 27:00.600] Maybe maybe I don't know it was like I said before it was the like with the 60th anniversary
[27:01.280 -> 27:06.480] But anything they bought for the car then will still be on the car now. If anything, the car will be better than it was
[27:06.480 -> 27:07.320] in Silverstone.
[27:07.320 -> 27:09.520] Yeah, but other people bring upgrades.
[27:09.520 -> 27:11.400] You know, Red Bull going to be 0.2 quicker than me.
[27:11.400 -> 27:14.680] If McLaren haven't got anything to bring to Hungary this
[27:14.680 -> 27:17.080] weekend, you know, they could have put all their eggs in one
[27:17.080 -> 27:20.200] basket, Silverstone, you know, home race.
[27:20.200 -> 27:21.800] They want to, they want to smash it.
[27:21.800 -> 27:23.300] They want the hype.
[27:23.300 -> 27:24.400] It was the anniversary.
[27:24.400 -> 27:28.920] It's been the anniversary all year, but you know, they changed the livery. That was the place to do it
[27:28.920 -> 27:35.600] have were they suppressing upgrades throughout the whole of the start of the year just to smash it out in in
[27:36.160 -> 27:39.920] Silverstone and now they've got nothing or are they going to continue to capitalize capitalize? I
[27:40.640 -> 27:43.520] Really think it could be the start of something special
[27:45.500 -> 27:48.800] The crystal ball crystal ball, okay?
[27:48.800 -> 27:51.600] No, one thing that does make me think that is,
[27:51.600 -> 27:54.400] one, every team on the grid wanted Oscar,
[27:54.400 -> 27:55.800] and he went to McLaren.
[27:55.800 -> 27:57.600] I think they said to him,
[27:57.600 -> 27:59.100] give us a bit of time, like,
[27:59.100 -> 28:00.600] look, Lando's been here for years,
[28:00.600 -> 28:02.400] Lando's been giving us the time.
[28:02.400 -> 28:05.280] Lando's stayed for so long because of the project,
[28:05.280 -> 28:07.640] because he loves the team quite clearly.
[28:08.520 -> 28:12.120] Maybe, just maybe, could we,
[28:12.120 -> 28:15.160] this might be the resurgence of McLaren.
[28:15.160 -> 28:18.120] Like imagine, and imagine how special it would be
[28:18.120 -> 28:21.200] considering McLaren and Red Bull had neck and neck,
[28:21.200 -> 28:28.640] 11-11 wins since 1998, 1988. and then imagine this weekend, Lando Norris
[28:28.640 -> 28:33.000] wins and they break their record, McLaren stop them from beating them.
[28:33.000 -> 28:34.000] That would be mega.
[28:34.000 -> 28:36.160] That, that is what I'm hoping for.
[28:36.160 -> 28:39.680] That's like the only thing that could piss Red Bull off right now, is for something like
[28:39.680 -> 28:40.680] that to happen.
[28:40.680 -> 28:44.280] By the way guys, if you can hear music, there's literally a festival going on outside my flat.
[28:44.280 -> 28:45.500] Do you reckon the mics can pick that up?
[28:45.500 -> 28:46.500] I don't know, maybe the bass.
[28:46.500 -> 28:50.000] There's like a tint of music. We've shut all the doors, but I don't know what is...
[28:50.000 -> 28:51.000] Yeah, it's like a festival, isn't it?
[28:51.000 -> 28:53.000] Breaking news!
[28:53.000 -> 28:54.500] Foreign breaking news!
[28:54.500 -> 28:56.500] Breaking news!
[28:56.500 -> 28:59.500] Right, before you give the news, give the website.
[28:59.500 -> 29:01.500] I'll give you the website in a minute.
[29:01.500 -> 29:05.880] Two F1 teams have broken the cost cap.
[29:05.880 -> 29:07.160] Uh-oh.
[29:07.160 -> 29:08.680] Right, let me guess then.
[29:08.680 -> 29:11.080] Yes, it has been rumored, all right,
[29:11.080 -> 29:13.400] there are panic rumors that are suggesting
[29:13.400 -> 29:18.160] that at least two teams have reportedly breached
[29:18.160 -> 29:19.800] the F1 cost cap.
[29:19.800 -> 29:20.840] Okay.
[29:20.840 -> 29:22.920] Now, we don't know who these teams are.
[29:22.920 -> 29:24.640] We can make assumptions.
[29:24.640 -> 29:30.080] Yep. I don't know who you're thinking of. I don't necessarily want to throw anyone under the bus
[29:30.080 -> 29:35.760] yeah but well that's the rumor that's come out however I did read a post
[29:35.760 -> 29:39.680] directly afterwards saying that the FIA just did just come out and say those
[29:39.680 -> 29:44.480] claims are inaccurate so are they bluffing? Well you just waited 20 seconds to get it started
[29:44.480 -> 29:47.280] I don't know whether to try to hide it or not but I do think it's worth talking about
[29:47.280 -> 29:52.000] because I do think considering how lightly Red Bull kind of got away with it before
[29:52.880 -> 29:56.560] Well Toto said didn't he when it happened he said if you can get away with that
[29:56.560 -> 29:58.400] and then everyone was saying well we'll just breach it
[29:58.400 -> 29:58.880] Yeah maybe the rest of the team's good
[29:58.880 -> 30:03.040] Because surely if another team breaches it by less than Red Bull did last year
[30:03.040 -> 30:05.280] when the punishment comes out,
[30:05.280 -> 30:08.640] surely they can just say, well Red Bull only got that, give us that as well.
[30:08.640 -> 30:12.520] Well yeah, I mean, I don't know, this was some crash.net, so.
[30:12.520 -> 30:14.040] Oh.
[30:14.040 -> 30:15.600] I'm not a million percent sure then.
[30:15.600 -> 30:18.440] Yeah, no, neither am I, but are we ever a million percent sure?
[30:18.440 -> 30:20.760] No, that's why people listen to Pitsap.
[30:20.760 -> 30:21.840] Apparently, yeah.
[30:21.840 -> 30:23.560] Now this could be true.
[30:23.560 -> 30:28.800] So they go through the team's finances, I think at certain times of the year, but apparently they also go through
[30:28.800 -> 30:34.640] WhatsApp messages. What? Yeah. On like their phones? Well apparently. Well yeah, where
[30:34.640 -> 30:39.280] else are you going to go through the WhatsApp messages? Yeah, it's a weird one. Going through
[30:39.280 -> 30:44.960] WhatsApp group messages to find out if they've breached the cost cap. Well, it's interesting
[30:44.960 -> 30:47.560] how far they do go, Cal was telling us he was saying
[30:47.560 -> 30:51.600] that like the FIA had been in the Red Bull factory like loads this year yeah
[30:51.600 -> 30:55.920] and after Silverstone Max's Red Bull got you know they do the random car thing
[30:55.920 -> 31:01.000] every time I'm pretty sure they randomly pick one car off the grid to like check
[31:01.000 -> 31:04.560] it or maybe more than one car this could be wrong and just make sure everything's
[31:04.560 -> 31:05.400] absolutely fine.
[31:05.400 -> 31:07.120] I know they probably check all the cars anyway,
[31:07.120 -> 31:09.320] but basically they did everything with Maxxis
[31:09.320 -> 31:13.120] at Silverstone, it completely passed, nothing wrong.
[31:13.120 -> 31:14.520] The thing is, these teams will,
[31:14.520 -> 31:17.080] like anyone would do anyway,
[31:17.080 -> 31:19.920] they will always try and find a way around it.
[31:19.920 -> 31:21.440] And there are gray areas, you know,
[31:21.440 -> 31:24.660] and apparently top teams are using these gray areas
[31:24.660 -> 31:26.280] to get around the budget.
[31:26.280 -> 31:34.200] So one method that I think Red Bull have been utilising is to hire companies affiliated
[31:34.200 -> 31:37.420] with the F1 team to do the work for them.
[31:37.420 -> 31:44.120] So they'll pay the engineers from the different companies like 10, 25, like 50% of the wage,
[31:44.120 -> 31:49.800] but they'll do it. Well the thing is it's a grey area but you have to say that's smart. I mean
[31:49.800 -> 31:53.520] every other team has the options to utilize doing these things with the grey
[31:53.520 -> 31:58.720] areas. Ultimately every team should be utilizing the grey area as much as they
[31:58.720 -> 32:03.680] can. You want everyone to make the most of that cap as much as they
[32:03.680 -> 32:06.920] can you just don't want people going over it ridiculously.
[32:06.920 -> 32:09.640] I'm interested to see like what investment Williams
[32:09.640 -> 32:10.720] did this year.
[32:10.720 -> 32:12.920] Maybe they could be one of the teams that maybe gonna,
[32:12.920 -> 32:15.700] because there's been a massive jump in Williams.
[32:15.700 -> 32:18.440] Albon was so good in Silverstone, eighth he got,
[32:18.440 -> 32:20.860] and even Sargent, 11th.
[32:20.860 -> 32:24.200] So maybe the Williams is gonna out of nowhere come.
[32:24.200 -> 32:27.400] I'd like to see Logan getting consistent points by Vegas.
[32:27.400 -> 32:32.040] I'd like to know what the dynamic is of Sgt.
[32:32.040 -> 32:34.760] at Williams, but this whole Nick DeVries thing that's just happened.
[32:34.760 -> 32:39.040] Do you think Logan now feels on edge or do you think he feels safe in Williams?
[32:39.040 -> 32:42.800] Do you think Williams have kind of given him that safe spot to be like, you know, don't
[32:42.800 -> 32:43.800] worry about that.
[32:43.800 -> 32:46.520] We're not going to do the same. Or maybe they're saying the same thing
[32:46.520 -> 32:49.160] because we saw, we've seen how Alex Albon's doing.
[32:49.160 -> 32:51.440] Logan's definitely in a better car.
[32:51.440 -> 32:54.000] He's definitely been doing better than Nick DeVries,
[32:54.000 -> 32:57.680] but also, well, not necessarily points wise, you know,
[32:57.680 -> 32:58.920] it's not really happened yet,
[32:58.920 -> 33:03.560] but I think the sport needs an American driver on the grid.
[33:03.560 -> 33:05.120] Like an American driver on the grid. Like an American driver on the grid
[33:05.120 -> 33:08.180] is absolutely pivotal now with free races.
[33:08.180 -> 33:09.820] However, I don't think there will be
[33:09.820 -> 33:11.460] a lack of American drivers now.
[33:11.460 -> 33:13.420] No, you definitely might see some more coming through.
[33:13.420 -> 33:15.880] I think definitely see some more come through.
[33:15.880 -> 33:17.020] But for now, yeah.
[33:17.920 -> 33:19.860] At the moment, I think Logan's absolutely fine.
[33:19.860 -> 33:21.220] I don't see anything changing there.
[33:21.220 -> 33:22.940] And as we know, Oscar's absolutely fine.
[33:22.940 -> 33:24.860] Like what a sign in Oscar Piastra.
[33:24.860 -> 33:28.800] I still can't believe he got fourth. I know, I it's mega and we saw him in the paddock it was
[33:28.800 -> 33:33.360] great to see him. Yes we did see Oscar that was great to see him. I've actually got a few questions
[33:33.360 -> 33:38.880] here about Hungary. Oh come on. I didn't put together a whole quiz and they're not all about Hungary.
[33:38.880 -> 33:42.960] I reckon I know the answer. But you should know most of these because you literally did half of
[33:42.960 -> 33:47.200] them in the intro. I did yeah I did a lot ofling. I've got more here as well that I didn't read out.
[33:47.200 -> 33:49.600] But the first question's actually about Williams.
[33:49.600 -> 33:50.100] Oh.
[33:50.100 -> 33:53.200] How many wins do you reckon Williams have had at the Hungary ring?
[33:53.200 -> 33:55.600] See, this was on the Wikipedia page that I was on earlier.
[33:55.600 -> 34:01.300] How many wins do you reckon they've had? Seven, eight, nine, or ten?
[34:01.300 -> 34:05.500] In their history, one of the most successful Formula 1 teams of all time.
[34:05.500 -> 34:06.500] Yeah, I'll go 8.
[34:06.500 -> 34:07.500] Yeah?
[34:07.500 -> 34:08.500] Yeah.
[34:08.500 -> 34:09.500] And you'd be wrong.
[34:09.500 -> 34:10.500] It's 7.
[34:10.500 -> 34:11.500] Is it 7?
[34:11.500 -> 34:12.500] So it's 0 out of 1.
[34:12.500 -> 34:13.500] Alright, but this goes back to your intro.
[34:13.500 -> 34:15.500] When was the first ever Hungarian Grand Prix?
[34:15.500 -> 34:19.500] In 1936.
[34:21.500 -> 34:23.500] Was that a joke?
[34:23.500 -> 34:28.000] Well it wasn't held at the Hungarian Ring, but 1936 was the first Hungarian Grand Prix.
[34:28.000 -> 34:32.000] Okay, well I'm asking for the first ever Hungaria ring Grand Prix.
[34:32.000 -> 34:35.000] Hungaria ring, er, 83. Have you got multiple choice?
[34:35.000 -> 34:36.000] No, do you know what?
[34:36.000 -> 34:37.000] Is there multiple choice?
[34:37.000 -> 34:40.000] Nighty nighty, 1986 or 1980.
[34:40.000 -> 34:41.000] It's 86.
[34:41.000 -> 34:42.000] It's 86!
[34:42.000 -> 34:43.000] It's 86, yeah.
[34:43.000 -> 34:47.160] And you even gave the listeners, do you know the name of what it was before? Before the Hungary?
[34:47.160 -> 34:49.160] I don't, why don't you read it out? It begins with an N.
[34:49.160 -> 34:53.560] I don't know, I don't know it. Yeah, I don't know the name of the previous circuit.
[34:53.560 -> 34:59.800] It's nice you know it begins with an N. Thank you. Which famous river flows through the heart of Budapest?
[35:00.280 -> 35:06.640] It's called like, do something, isn't it? You doing these intro things completely ruins my quiz!
[35:06.640 -> 35:11.600] I've put the Buddha River, Pesto Place, the Ravola or the Danube.
[35:11.600 -> 35:13.600] Pesto Place?
[35:13.600 -> 35:15.600] Is that not real?
[35:15.600 -> 35:17.600] Is it real?
[35:17.600 -> 35:19.600] So which one are we going for?
[35:19.600 -> 35:21.600] The do one, the last one.
[35:21.600 -> 35:23.600] The Danube.
[35:23.600 -> 35:25.920] Who holds the lap record at the Hunger Ring?
[35:25.920 -> 35:29.240] Hamilton Verstappen, Vettel or Leclerc?
[35:29.240 -> 35:34.000] It's Max Verstappen with a 1.17.103 in 2019.
[35:34.000 -> 35:35.000] Incorrect.
[35:35.000 -> 35:37.960] Was that in your intro as well?
[35:37.960 -> 35:38.960] We always get this incorrect.
[35:38.960 -> 35:43.880] According to the Formula One website, it's Hamilton with a 1.16.627.
[35:43.880 -> 35:45.600] Well according to the Formula One website mine
[35:45.600 -> 35:51.760] said 117.103 max for Stappan in 2019. Well mine's 2020, Lewis Hamilton. Well god damn. What do you
[35:51.760 -> 35:57.440] want to do get in a ring and settle it? I want I you want to get in the ring? That is a I would
[35:57.440 -> 36:01.280] love to get in the ring if there's anyone out there that would love to fight a charity fight.
[36:01.280 -> 36:07.840] You just offered me out. No I don't want to fight you with you. Unless it's tag team. I'd happily tag team you. You want to do steel cage like the WWE?
[36:07.840 -> 36:10.960] Yeah because you know there's a lot of that YouTuber boxing now. Like me and you as a
[36:10.960 -> 36:15.200] tag team. Money in the bank. We could do a ladder match. No you would have to fight two
[36:15.200 -> 36:19.160] F1 drivers. I'd come out to Undertaker music all day long. Who do you think would be, because
[36:19.160 -> 36:23.440] notoriously F1 drivers are quite small, who do you think would be our stiffest competition?
[36:23.440 -> 36:26.640] A tag team match. Jake and Fab versus who and who in the F1.
[36:27.680 -> 36:29.720] So we got to pick out the hardest opponents.
[36:29.720 -> 36:31.160] Hardest, yeah.
[36:31.160 -> 36:35.800] See George is tall, but he's a bit of a teddy bear.
[36:35.800 -> 36:37.200] He'd be cleaning the floor with his handkey.
[36:37.200 -> 36:38.040] There's a bit of blood on it.
[36:38.040 -> 36:39.400] I reckon like Hulkenberg.
[36:39.400 -> 36:41.240] He's like quite a big guy.
[36:41.240 -> 36:43.040] Yeah, I see that.
[36:43.040 -> 36:43.880] I see that.
[36:47.000 -> 36:52.760] And also maybe, I want to kind of want to say Alononso like I feel like he maybe just would be a little bit. I kind of want to say Max. Do you reckon? I feel like he's the kind of guy that
[36:52.760 -> 36:56.600] takes anything seriously like he's the kind of lad you know in primary school
[36:56.600 -> 37:00.000] signs in primary school when you'd be like racing to see who can finish their
[37:00.000 -> 37:04.680] plate first Max would be finishing his plate ASAP. Signs! I would say signs and
[37:04.680 -> 37:08.680] Hulkenberg would be the best would be the hardest duo for us to beat at a WWE tag match.
[37:08.680 -> 37:13.680] Yeah interesting. Because he's not a small guy either. No, Esteban's quite tall.
[37:13.680 -> 37:18.840] Yuki would be like a little Rey Mysterio. French hate everyone. Could be, could be that.
[37:18.840 -> 37:23.080] Not all French people hate everyone. We should clear that up, probably have some French listeners.
[37:23.080 -> 37:25.200] Yeah well I'm quarter French I'm allowed to say it. probably have some French listeners. Yeah well I'm quarter French, I'm allowed to say it.
[37:25.200 -> 37:27.200] Are you actually? Yeah.
[37:27.200 -> 37:30.400] And I'm a little bit French as well. Yeah, so we do hate everyone.
[37:30.400 -> 37:34.800] Which constructor has the most wins in Budapest?
[37:34.800 -> 37:36.800] McLaren.
[37:36.800 -> 37:38.800] With 11? Yep.
[37:38.800 -> 37:43.200] How interesting is that? So it's also 11 since 1988, when they're level with Red Bull.
[37:43.200 -> 37:47.320] And McLaren are the most successful constructor in Hungary.
[37:47.320 -> 37:48.160] Wow.
[37:48.160 -> 37:49.760] This could be the week for Lando and Oscar.
[37:49.760 -> 37:52.600] We'll have our predictions coming very shortly.
[37:52.600 -> 37:56.140] We know it's 70 laps, so we'll completely skip that.
[37:56.140 -> 37:58.000] But Danny Rick is back.
[37:58.000 -> 38:01.160] He's raced 233 times in Formula One.
[38:01.160 -> 38:04.200] How many podiums does he have?
[38:04.200 -> 38:10.340] I know it. 42. 42 what 38 or 32 how many podiums mm
[38:10.340 -> 38:17.280] my god I was way 232 races but how many podium Daniel Ricciardo has 232 races
[38:17.280 -> 38:23.400] man insane he looks so young and he's been in the sport for a long time I mean
[38:23.400 -> 38:27.000] I think I had the wins in my head. I had like eight wins or something or nine.
[38:27.000 -> 38:28.000] Eight wins is spot on.
[38:28.000 -> 38:29.000] Is it?
[38:29.000 -> 38:32.000] Eight wins is spot on, but I'm asking for podiums here. 42, 38 or 32.
[38:32.000 -> 38:34.000] I'll go 38.
[38:34.000 -> 38:36.000] You'd be incorrect. It's 32.
[38:36.000 -> 38:38.000] Hope the listeners at home got that.
[38:38.000 -> 38:39.000] That's still a lot.
[38:39.000 -> 38:44.000] Talking of who we could beat in a tag match, how tall do you reckon Danny Rick is?
[38:44.000 -> 38:46.560] We've seen him walk past.
[38:46.560 -> 38:47.560] Because that's the next question mate.
[38:47.560 -> 38:49.920] He's got the tallest of fellows I must admit.
[38:49.920 -> 38:50.920] Well how tall do you reckon?
[38:50.920 -> 38:52.680] He's got the biggest of noses though which I like.
[38:52.680 -> 38:56.200] 5'8", 5'9", 5'10", or 6 foot?
[38:56.200 -> 38:58.000] He's definitely not 6 foot.
[38:58.000 -> 38:59.000] Do you not reckon?
[38:59.000 -> 39:01.960] No way bro he's no way 6 foot.
[39:01.960 -> 39:02.960] Are you sure?
[39:02.960 -> 39:03.960] 100%.
[39:03.960 -> 39:06.600] I'd say he's you know I'd say 5'10".
[39:06.600 -> 39:07.440] What was it?
[39:07.440 -> 39:08.840] 5'9", 5'10"?
[39:08.840 -> 39:09.960] Or six foot, yeah.
[39:09.960 -> 39:11.400] 5'10".
[39:11.400 -> 39:12.600] 5'10", he is!
[39:12.600 -> 39:14.160] Danny Rick is 5'10".
[39:14.160 -> 39:15.920] And the final little bit of fun,
[39:15.920 -> 39:17.480] which isn't anything to do with hungry,
[39:17.480 -> 39:19.360] it's more testing how far you've come
[39:19.360 -> 39:21.440] since the beginning of Pit Stop.
[39:21.440 -> 39:24.960] We know most of the team principals pretty easily,
[39:24.960 -> 39:25.760] but I want you to tell me the
[39:25.760 -> 39:28.640] team principals of these teams just to check that you're in sync.
[39:28.640 -> 39:33.520] This is going to be the hardest. Who's the Aston Martin team principal? Come
[39:33.520 -> 39:34.600] on. Mike Crack.
[39:34.600 -> 39:38.600] Mike Crack, spot on. McLaren.
[39:38.600 -> 39:42.240] Zac Brown. I've been saying that for a long time.
[39:42.240 -> 39:45.840] Andreas Seagull. Andreas Seagull, exactly.
[39:45.840 -> 39:46.680] Andy Sandberg.
[39:46.680 -> 39:48.480] Is that your name is Andreas Stella.
[39:48.480 -> 39:49.640] Alfa Tauri.
[39:51.160 -> 39:55.000] The team boss for Alfa Tauri is Franz Tost.
[39:55.000 -> 39:55.840] Let's go.
[39:55.840 -> 39:58.320] See the reason I did these is because I didn't know
[39:58.320 -> 39:59.920] who the Alfa Tauri team principal was.
[39:59.920 -> 40:01.080] French toast baby.
[40:01.080 -> 40:02.080] That's how I remember it.
[40:02.080 -> 40:03.040] Love French toast.
[40:03.040 -> 40:04.640] You definitely won't get this one.
[40:04.640 -> 40:06.080] Alfa Romeo.
[40:06.080 -> 40:09.560] The team principal for Alfa Romeo
[40:10.900 -> 40:15.900] is formerly the guy who's just gone to a Ferrari.
[40:18.200 -> 40:19.040] Vasseur.
[40:19.040 -> 40:21.720] Yeah, I had Fred Bertrand in my head,
[40:21.720 -> 40:22.920] but it is Vasseur.
[40:22.920 -> 40:25.240] Fred Bertrand is from formerly, but it is for sure Fred Bertrand is from Formula E.
[40:25.240 -> 40:26.240] Mildred Racing?
[40:29.440 -> 40:31.000] Stefano?
[40:31.000 -> 40:32.520] Stefano Domenicale?
[40:32.520 -> 40:34.400] No, Stefano from the media team.
[40:34.400 -> 40:35.680] Stefano from the media team,
[40:35.680 -> 40:37.640] he was in all the videos with Cara Delevingne.
[40:37.640 -> 40:38.480] Shy?
[40:38.480 -> 40:40.600] He's got shy, yeah, shy from Alfa Romeo.
[40:40.600 -> 40:41.440] I don't know, bro.
[40:41.440 -> 40:43.080] Ruth Baskin, mate.
[40:43.080 -> 40:44.400] No, it's clearly not Ruth Baskin.
[40:44.400 -> 40:47.320] It's Alessandra Alamuni-Bravi.
[40:47.320 -> 40:48.480] Aluni-Bravi.
[40:48.480 -> 40:49.640] Ariana Bravo.
[40:49.640 -> 40:52.440] Ariana Bravo is the team principal of Alfa Romeo.
[40:52.440 -> 40:53.280] That would be sick.
[40:53.280 -> 40:54.840] Absolutely spot on, mate.
[40:54.840 -> 40:55.680] I don't know.
[40:55.680 -> 40:56.520] I didn't know that.
[40:56.520 -> 40:58.000] No, I knew you wouldn't, so that's why I checked it.
[40:58.000 -> 40:58.840] Any more?
[40:58.840 -> 40:59.680] No, we know all the other ones, don't we?
[40:59.680 -> 41:00.520] Williams, James Vowles.
[41:00.520 -> 41:01.340] There we go.
[41:01.340 -> 41:02.180] You know all the others.
[41:02.180 -> 41:03.520] I do want to say,
[41:03.520 -> 41:11.480] this is something that stood out to me. I've been banging on for the last year about how hard it is to know what's going on when you go to a racetrack
[41:11.960 -> 41:13.960] We're so blessed at home
[41:13.960 -> 41:16.940] to watch f1 on TV with all the camera angles and
[41:17.040 -> 41:20.560] For anyone who watches f1 at home and has never had a chance to go to a race
[41:20.560 -> 41:26.100] You shouldn't feel left out because you get the most amazing viewing experience watching it at home on TV.
[41:26.100 -> 41:28.400] When you go to a race, it's hard to know what's going on.
[41:28.400 -> 41:31.740] However, at the Hungaria Ring, apparently,
[41:31.740 -> 41:33.400] let me just pull my notes up here,
[41:33.400 -> 41:36.760] there's a certain like high vantage points
[41:36.760 -> 41:41.640] from around the track where you can see 80% of the track.
[41:41.640 -> 41:42.880] Compared to other tracks,
[41:42.880 -> 41:44.880] that sounds like a great viewing experience.
[41:44.880 -> 41:45.680] That's loads.
[41:45.680 -> 41:48.080] I remember looking at Abu Dhabi,
[41:48.080 -> 41:51.720] they have that tower where you can get a full 360 degree.
[41:51.720 -> 41:52.920] I think anyone would want to be there.
[41:52.920 -> 41:55.080] That would be amazing to watch that from there.
[41:55.080 -> 41:56.800] But being able to see, you know,
[41:56.800 -> 41:58.600] potentially 80% of the track
[41:58.600 -> 42:01.480] on a historic circuit like this, that's mega.
[42:01.480 -> 42:03.280] That needs to happen more.
[42:03.280 -> 42:04.440] Wonder if we're going to get rain.
[42:04.440 -> 42:06.280] Is it a hilly circuit? don't know I don't know
[42:06.280 -> 42:11.400] I wonder I want to know the weather now notoriously hot in Hungary this time of
[42:11.400 -> 42:15.320] year okay it'd be nice to have a completely dry race and like nothing
[42:15.320 -> 42:19.560] goes wrong yeah I just want to see the McLaren should we give our predictions
[42:19.560 -> 42:25.840] should we give our top three yeah let's do it I'm gonna go first place
[42:25.840 -> 42:26.800] start from third
[42:26.800 -> 42:29.120] okay yeah because this is gonna be a big one
[42:29.120 -> 42:30.320] third
[42:30.320 -> 42:33.360] Oscar Piastri
[42:33.360 -> 42:35.360] Wow
[42:35.360 -> 42:36.880] second
[42:36.880 -> 42:39.120] hang on let's do it one each
[42:39.120 -> 42:41.360] I went Hamilton in third
[42:41.360 -> 42:41.920] okay
[42:41.920 -> 42:46.000] for no other reason than it's Lewis Hamilton.
[42:46.000 -> 42:50.000] Third and Silverstone, that would be a third back to back, that would be good for Hamilton.
[42:50.000 -> 42:54.000] We know that he's desperate to win the championship next year, that is Hamilton's plan.
[42:54.000 -> 42:56.000] As is every driver on the grid, so that was useless information.
[42:56.000 -> 42:57.000] Who have you got in second?
[42:57.000 -> 42:59.000] Hamilton. I've gone Hamilton second.
[42:59.000 -> 43:01.000] So Lando and then Hamilton.
[43:01.000 -> 43:04.000] Okay, I've gone Verstappen in second.
[43:04.000 -> 43:05.680] Oh. Yeah. I've gone Hamilton Stappen in second. Oh.
[43:05.680 -> 43:09.320] Yeah, I've gone Hamilton third, for Stappen second.
[43:10.280 -> 43:14.120] And in first place, I've gone for Lando Norris.
[43:14.120 -> 43:15.480] Okay.
[43:15.480 -> 43:16.800] Who have you gone for?
[43:16.800 -> 43:18.960] Wait, you haven't got for Stappen on your podium at all?
[43:18.960 -> 43:20.000] Nope.
[43:20.000 -> 43:20.840] Oh my God.
[43:20.840 -> 43:23.520] Stappen does not make the podium this weekend.
[43:23.520 -> 43:27.180] I, my friend, have gone for the one and only
[43:27.180 -> 43:30.120] kart king, Fernando Alonso.
[43:30.120 -> 43:31.360] Fernando Alonso.
[43:31.360 -> 43:33.120] Fernando Alonso in first.
[43:33.120 -> 43:35.080] The first Aston Martin win of the year.
[43:35.080 -> 43:36.840] Well that's not gonna happen, is it?
[43:36.840 -> 43:38.280] But it'd be a nice thought.
[43:38.280 -> 43:39.880] I feel like this could be the track where he does it.
[43:39.880 -> 43:40.840] Where's the speed come from?
[43:40.840 -> 43:42.640] There's seventh in Silverstone.
[43:42.640 -> 43:43.960] He was seventh in Silverstone.
[43:43.960 -> 43:45.320] It was Silverstone.
[43:45.320 -> 43:48.360] This is Fernando Alonso's backyard.
[43:48.360 -> 43:51.160] Well, I'll tell you what, if it is one DRS zone,
[43:51.160 -> 43:53.440] which their website says it is,
[43:53.440 -> 43:57.560] Red Bull's one of their biggest benefits is DRS zones.
[43:57.560 -> 43:59.040] And this has only got one.
[43:59.040 -> 43:59.880] Oh yeah.
[43:59.880 -> 44:01.760] Now, when I looked at the track comparison of Silverstone,
[44:01.760 -> 44:03.060] there were certain parts of the track
[44:03.060 -> 44:07.160] where Lando was significantly quicker than the Red Bull and I would say just
[44:07.160 -> 44:11.480] looking at this layout that Lando's gonna like it. So yeah that's my podium
[44:11.480 -> 44:16.320] Lando win, Hamilton second, Oscar Piastri third. Dan. We haven't been right in a
[44:16.320 -> 44:19.200] while. We haven't been right in a while. Last year we were popping some decent
[44:19.200 -> 44:23.720] predictions and we were actually doing alright. Because last year we were just saying everything like literally what it was the race before
[44:23.720 -> 44:25.400] because we were like we don't want to get it wrong.
[44:25.400 -> 44:26.400] That's what I do now.
[44:26.400 -> 44:29.000] That's pretty much what I do now as well.
[44:29.000 -> 44:30.880] No, I just want to see Lando on the podium.
[44:30.880 -> 44:33.120] It's going to be a great race weekend.
[44:33.120 -> 44:35.200] We will be back on Sunday evening.
[44:35.200 -> 44:36.600] That'll be live Monday.
[44:36.600 -> 44:38.440] That'll be our after race review.
[44:38.440 -> 44:44.040] But remember, there is a bonus episode coming Saturday, 10am with Gabby Bortoletto winning
[44:44.040 -> 44:46.520] Formula 3. I think you guys are going to love it.

[45:01.760 -> 45:02.760] a little clap for you.
[45:02.760 -> 45:03.760] Thank you very much.
[45:03.760 -> 45:04.760] Really appreciate the support.
[45:04.760 -> 45:05.800] Yeah, that's incredible. I can't. Thank you very much. Really appreciate the support.
[45:05.800 -> 45:08.200] Yeah, that's incredible.
[45:08.200 -> 45:09.100] I can't believe that.
[45:09.100 -> 45:09.600] It's mad.
[45:09.600 -> 45:10.200] I know.
[45:10.200 -> 45:10.700] I know.
[45:10.700 -> 45:14.400] Coming into this, doing the pod, we didn't know anything about
[45:14.400 -> 45:15.300] podcasting.
[45:15.300 -> 45:19.100] We didn't know anything about anything to do with streaming and
[45:19.100 -> 45:20.000] numbers and stuff like that.
[45:20.000 -> 45:21.600] We're just happy to be doing the pod.
[45:21.600 -> 45:25.000] But I think for both of us, you know, especially for me
[45:25.000 -> 45:28.760] I've never had a YouTube channel before I've always wanted to have my own
[45:29.160 -> 45:31.280] Because it feels like your own show doesn't it?
[45:31.280 -> 45:35.200] Yeah, it feels like they're the people on the sofa watching the show with you almost that's it
[45:35.200 -> 45:37.200] And so the fact that that's growing, you know
[45:37.960 -> 45:43.120] Our YouTube numbers aren't big but the fact that it's going up and we're reaching 100k. It means more than anything to us
[45:43.120 -> 45:46.160] Hmm. Yeah guys. thank you so much for everything.
[45:46.160 -> 45:49.040] See you guys on Monday morning for the After Race review
[45:49.040 -> 45:50.400] and hope you enjoy the episode with Gabby
