[00:00.000 -> 00:07.000] Welcome to the Pit Stop Podcast.
[00:07.000 -> 00:12.160] Ladies and gents, welcome back to Pit Stop.
[00:12.160 -> 00:13.320] We're back in the UK.
[00:13.320 -> 00:15.360] We have made it home, let's go.
[00:15.360 -> 00:17.000] Back in Blighty, back in London.
[00:17.000 -> 00:19.880] We have been on another trip once again.
[00:19.880 -> 00:21.020] Pit Stop's been traveling.
[00:21.020 -> 00:22.700] This was quite an incredible adventure.
[00:22.700 -> 00:24.800] There is much to talk about in today's episode.
[00:24.800 -> 00:28.440] We left you guys Friday night we were just about
[00:28.440 -> 00:33.320] to go and see Mariah Carey and the Jersey Boys that in itself is enough but
[00:33.320 -> 00:37.960] there is a lot to talk about from our trip to Qatar it was rather something
[00:37.960 -> 00:43.240] special wasn't it? It was special like by far hands down I'd say the best trip
[00:43.240 -> 00:50.320] that we've been on. Yeah yeah I mean it wasn't just the F1, we did so much out in Qatar that made this trip incredible,
[00:50.320 -> 00:53.480] you know, and we'll go through all of that in today's episode.
[00:53.480 -> 00:57.400] First of all, Max Verstappen, three time world champion!
[00:57.400 -> 01:01.200] That is pretty remarkable!
[01:01.200 -> 01:10.920] Not only that, Oscar Piastri, we say this every week, but my god, what is that boy created?
[01:10.920 -> 01:12.840] He's turning into a monster.
[01:12.840 -> 01:14.840] He got his first win in the McLaren.
[01:14.840 -> 01:15.840] I know.
[01:15.840 -> 01:19.440] He's, you know, he's beat Lando to it, which is very interesting.
[01:19.440 -> 01:24.000] And I don't doubt that Lando is obviously going to get like a ton of wins next year,
[01:24.000 -> 01:25.200] but very interesting
[01:25.200 -> 01:26.200] now I feel.
[01:26.200 -> 01:30.640] Yeah, it took Oscar 17 races in the McLaren to get his win and here we are.
[01:30.640 -> 01:31.640] You're not well.
[01:31.640 -> 01:37.560] No I'm not, every time I come off a plane, the aircon, is it really obvious in my voice?
[01:37.560 -> 01:41.760] Yeah, I don't really want to sit next to you, we had a load of kids around us didn't we?
[01:41.760 -> 01:42.760] Oh yeah we did.
[01:42.760 -> 01:43.760] Kids carry bugs and diseases and shit.
[01:43.760 -> 01:49.600] Screaming the whole time on the plane. That was fun. It was yeah, not really. Going back
[01:49.600 -> 01:53.000] to what you said I think Lando will definitely get a lot of wins but I actually think it's
[01:53.000 -> 01:59.560] the same as Russell coming into Mercedes where he was instantly better than Hamilton because
[01:59.560 -> 02:04.380] you're able to adjust quicker whereas Lando's been at McLaren for a while the cars like
[02:04.380 -> 02:08.840] evolved but slowly. Oscar's stepped in and had to like deal with what he's given
[02:08.840 -> 02:13.080] whereas I think it's easier to adjust then. The car has stepped up massively
[02:13.080 -> 02:16.400] yeah yeah of course. Like it's gonna be I think it's gonna be impossible for them
[02:16.400 -> 02:20.200] to not get a win. No they'll definitely get some wins next year. Definitely next year if
[02:20.200 -> 02:23.000] not the end of the season because we still got what four or five races left?
[02:23.000 -> 02:26.000] Five races left. It's why I think they have the best driver lineup. I think they're actually
[02:26.000 -> 02:30.720] going to push each other and if they can maintain and stay friends, McLaren are going to have the
[02:30.720 -> 02:34.080] best driver lineup. I actually think you could see McLaren win the Constructors next year.
[02:34.080 -> 02:37.200] Is it going to be a Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton situation?
[02:37.200 -> 02:39.440] I don't know, but I think that's what F1 kind of needs.
[02:39.440 -> 02:40.160] Yeah, 100%.
[02:40.160 -> 02:41.120] I think it would be amazing.
[02:41.120 -> 02:43.520] I think next year is going to be like really exciting.
[02:43.520 -> 02:45.760] Next year in F1 is going to be mega.
[02:45.760 -> 02:47.840] Guys, what a weekend.
[02:47.840 -> 02:49.960] As you guys know, we were in Qatar.
[02:49.960 -> 02:51.600] We visit Qatar.
[02:51.600 -> 02:53.520] And we really did visit Qatar.
[02:53.520 -> 02:55.480] I mean, we saw everything.
[02:55.480 -> 02:56.680] We saw absolutely everything.
[02:56.680 -> 02:57.400] Do you know what?
[02:57.400 -> 03:00.440] It's been a dream of mine to just go out to the sand dunes.
[03:00.440 -> 03:00.940] Yeah.
[03:00.940 -> 03:02.840] And we finally got the opportunity to do it.
[03:02.840 -> 03:04.280] But let's start from the beginning.
[03:04.280 -> 03:08.140] We had a bit of a chill one Thursday night Friday, Geneva Motor Show
[03:08.140 -> 03:14.320] Yes, saw some very expensive cars fab went straight in the sim obviously they had an f1 sim set up
[03:14.560 -> 03:20.440] That was great a lot of you guys know that we're not particularly the most carry guys of guys now
[03:20.440 -> 03:25.760] We love cars you know as any other bloke does, but we don't really know the ins and outs so luckily we had
[03:25.760 -> 03:27.120] a few other people we made some really
[03:27.120 -> 03:28.480] good friends on this trip yeah there's
[03:28.480 -> 03:29.480] loads of people on the trip that are
[03:29.480 -> 03:31.640] literally car experts and me and fab are
[03:31.640 -> 03:33.200] walking around this motor show like yep
[03:33.200 -> 03:35.760] that's got nice wheels that's a nice
[03:35.760 -> 03:38.320] color and like there was some really
[03:38.320 -> 03:39.800] cool technology so there was like this
[03:39.800 -> 03:41.320] they had a car there I think it was a
[03:41.320 -> 03:43.600] Porsche and they had this it was like an
[03:43.600 -> 03:46.480] iPad that had a camera facing the car.
[03:46.480 -> 03:48.800] So it was, I don't know if it was AI or what it was using,
[03:48.800 -> 03:49.640] but you could change the color of the wheels.
[03:49.640 -> 03:51.000] That was cool.
[03:51.000 -> 03:52.200] Yeah, really interesting.
[03:52.200 -> 03:53.720] They unveiled some new cars.
[03:53.720 -> 03:54.560] Yeah, we saw everything.
[03:54.560 -> 03:56.040] The Geneva Motor Show was great.
[03:56.040 -> 03:58.120] But to be honest, I was at the Geneva Motor Show
[03:58.120 -> 04:00.480] so excited for Friday night,
[04:00.480 -> 04:02.380] because we had just been told
[04:02.380 -> 04:04.280] that we were gonna see Mariah Carey
[04:04.280 -> 04:07.940] and the Jersey Boys that night. Now, it's not every day you're told you're to see Mariah Carey and the Jersey Boys that night. Now it's not every day you're told you're going to
[04:07.940 -> 04:11.980] see Mariah Carey is it? No and it's not every day that you're told you're going
[04:11.980 -> 04:17.160] to see the Jersey Boys because we had no idea who the Jersey Boys were. We turn up
[04:17.160 -> 04:21.500] at Carbone, one of the most amazing places that set up this like beach club
[04:21.500 -> 04:27.000] in Doha and there was loads of great people there.
[04:27.000 -> 04:31.640] We saw Mariah Carey, Fabs is obviously hanging his hand out, trying to, did you touch Mariah
[04:31.640 -> 04:32.640] Carey?
[04:32.640 -> 04:33.640] She touched my hand.
[04:33.640 -> 04:37.120] Like she was grabbing everyone's hand, she didn't actually grab my hand, so I kind of
[04:37.120 -> 04:40.600] like stroked her hand a little bit, yeah there's a clip of it.
[04:40.600 -> 04:42.760] So you and Mariah Carey are pretty good friends now really?
[04:42.760 -> 04:46.800] Didn't wash the hand, you know, I was like handing out sniffs, people were sniffing it for money.
[04:46.800 -> 04:52.240] And then the Jersey Boys were on. Now, I've heard of the Jersey Boys and my mum texts
[04:52.240 -> 04:56.760] me saying she loves the Jersey Boys. I'd never heard of the Jersey Boys. So I assumed that
[04:56.760 -> 05:02.840] the Jersey Boys were massive, I thought they'd have like 4 or 5 million followers each. Transatlantic,
[05:02.840 -> 05:07.000] international. Well I actually received a message from a family member from America.
[05:07.000 -> 05:10.000] You know, she's, I think one of my great aunts or something like that.
[05:10.000 -> 05:12.000] So, you know, I was thinking if she's into them,
[05:12.000 -> 05:14.000] maybe they were big in like the 80s or 90s.
[05:14.000 -> 05:15.000] That's kind of what I was thinking.
[05:15.000 -> 05:17.000] But then these guys come on stage and they're like,
[05:17.000 -> 05:21.000] oh yes, I was like, I was so drunk that I didn't really put two and two together.
[05:21.000 -> 05:22.000] I was like, ah, whatever.
[05:22.000 -> 05:24.000] And they were American.
[05:24.000 -> 05:25.960] So we thought they were singing with an American accent they were
[05:25.960 -> 05:30.000] talking with an American accent hello welcome to the Jersey boys we go over to
[05:30.000 -> 05:33.320] them at the bar we start talking to them fab's talking to two of them I'm talking
[05:33.320 -> 05:36.720] to two more and I go straight to this guy and I'm like wow you guys have
[05:36.720 -> 05:40.320] smashed it traveling all over the world like how do you stay friends over this
[05:40.320 -> 05:46.080] long period of time like I I didn't realise that they were just like, random people.
[05:46.080 -> 05:47.520] They're from fucking Newcastle!
[05:47.520 -> 05:48.560] Performing as...
[05:48.560 -> 05:50.000] They're from Newcastle!
[05:50.000 -> 05:53.040] So I've made it sound like they're the biggest celebrities in the world.
[05:53.040 -> 05:58.160] So it turns out Jersey Boys is like a musical, and they're just different people performing it,
[05:58.160 -> 06:00.640] but do you know what, I won't, no discredit to the lads.
[06:00.640 -> 06:01.360] They were ledge.
[06:01.360 -> 06:03.360] They were ledge and their voices were unbelievable.
[06:03.360 -> 06:04.560] Yeah, they were great.
[06:04.560 -> 06:10.240] Saturday morning! It's time for the Qatar Grand Prix. We turn up, we have
[06:10.240 -> 06:14.360] Paddock Club, absolutely amazing. Haven't I been in Paddock Club before? Sprint race
[06:14.360 -> 06:19.320] weekend. Sprint race weekend? Why do I always say that when I say race? We have never ever
[06:19.320 -> 06:23.520] been and watched the Formula One anywhere like this. This is like the other side of
[06:23.520 -> 06:27.000] the world. The atmosphere was quite something.
[06:27.000 -> 06:30.160] First time in Paddock Club, the service was unbelievable.
[06:30.160 -> 06:31.320] The food was unbelievable.
[06:31.320 -> 06:34.440] I got the fillet steak three times.
[06:34.440 -> 06:35.640] Three times.
[06:35.640 -> 06:37.240] Amazing, they looked after you so well.
[06:37.240 -> 06:38.640] An unforgettable experience.
[06:38.640 -> 06:40.360] I don't think we'll ever go in Paddock Club ever again.
[06:40.360 -> 06:41.880] Like we've done it now.
[06:41.880 -> 06:42.960] I just, it was just amazing.
[06:42.960 -> 06:44.800] I mean, if we get invited to go to Paddock Club again,
[06:44.800 -> 06:45.320] I'm taking the tickets. Yeah, I would say no. I mean if we get invited to go to Panic Club again I'm taking the
[06:45.320 -> 06:48.080] ticket yeah I would say no yeah the
[06:48.080 -> 06:50.520] people were amazing everyone in Qatar we
[06:50.520 -> 06:52.480] met from the people taking us to the
[06:52.480 -> 06:54.480] races to the people in the hotels to
[06:54.480 -> 06:56.680] just everyone we met was amazing the
[06:56.680 -> 06:58.160] whole experience was great from the
[06:58.160 -> 07:00.200] second we got off the plane to leaving
[07:00.200 -> 07:04.080] but the race itself Oscar Piastri going
[07:04.080 -> 07:07.700] pole in a sprint whilst we're there was
[07:07.700 -> 07:12.460] just pretty remarkable like I can't believe that happened and obviously we
[07:12.460 -> 07:20.180] then sneak our way into the paddock and we see Mark Webber! We saw Mark Webber!
[07:20.180 -> 07:24.620] I was texting Anne because that's how we originally got Oscar on the podcast and
[07:24.620 -> 07:26.660] I said to Anne like wow what an unbelievable job
[07:26.660 -> 07:29.380] And she was like Mark's day. She go and say good day
[07:29.720 -> 07:31.880] So we see Mark and I'm like Mark
[07:32.240 -> 07:35.880] Fab goes straight up to him. He's like it's fab from Pitstop and I'm like I was texting Anne
[07:35.880 -> 07:40.680] She said we should say good day. So I'm like good day. We're just chatting with Mark
[07:40.680 -> 07:44.240] I'll give a massive shout out to Aston Martin because we were a paddock club
[07:44.240 -> 07:48.240] We had a paddock tour and then we saw Mikey Brown our good
[07:48.240 -> 07:51.720] friend Mikey Brown from Aston Martin and he was like you know go hang out Aston
[07:51.720 -> 07:56.280] Martin so we had an amazing time sitting outside Aston Martin. Whilst we sat there
[07:56.280 -> 07:59.040] everyone was walking past that we know so we stood there chatting to Michael
[07:59.040 -> 08:04.200] Italiano, Ruth Baskin, Shy, Gnomes, Jess Hawkins was there we've never met Jess
[08:04.200 -> 08:05.520] Hawkins before, would
[08:05.520 -> 08:06.520] love her on the podcast.
[08:06.520 -> 08:07.520] I love her on the podcast.
[08:07.520 -> 08:10.920] It would be a great episode off the back of everything she's done with the F1 car, amazing.
[08:10.920 -> 08:16.520] Yeah, Aston Martin were great to us, Mikey, it is always amazing to see you.
[08:16.520 -> 08:19.160] Wasn't just Mikey though that we saw in the paddock though, was it?
[08:19.160 -> 08:20.560] His shorts are really tight.
[08:20.560 -> 08:21.560] He does have tight shorts.
[08:21.560 -> 08:28.520] I mean, he just puts it down to having like really toned legs, but I feel like Aston Martin have definitely given him like a size 2 smaller in shorts.
[08:28.520 -> 08:34.280] Like he commented he said he's got big thighs. Who else do you see in the paddock? We saw
[08:34.280 -> 08:41.600] our good friend, the biggest star of the paddock, David Croft. David Croft! Fab sees him walking
[08:41.600 -> 08:45.000] and Fab literally runs straight over, cameras's out, got a little video.
[08:45.000 -> 08:50.000] I sprinted, I sprinted, there was a flower bed and I literally went full Team GB and I sprinted
[08:50.000 -> 08:53.000] and I did the longest jump I think ever humanly possible.
[08:53.000 -> 08:58.000] Crofty saw me coming, gave me the side eye, I saw his face, think, oh fucking hell, here we go.
[08:58.000 -> 09:01.000] So we're just strolling through the paddock and we see a familiar face.
[09:01.000 -> 09:02.000] Where? There he is.
[09:02.000 -> 09:04.000] David Beckham. That's the one.
[09:04.000 -> 09:27.280] Have you seen David Beckham? We have. I've got a photo, yeah. You met David Beckham? I did. for But yeah, we saw Crofty and it was just it was a glorious moment and Crofty couldn't believe that you had met David Beckham
[09:27.720 -> 09:29.260] Yeah
[09:29.260 -> 09:36.140] David Beckham we're in paddock Club and David Beckham just come strolling through didn't even really have like any security with it. No
[09:37.520 -> 09:42.000] And I thought you know, maybe Jake's gonna want a picture with him, but he didn't now
[09:42.000 -> 09:48.140] I'm not the kind of person who really wants pictures either, but thought as he's here you know I'll get a quick snap so
[09:48.140 -> 09:51.640] me and my best mate David got a quick photo together. And you met David before so this isn't the
[09:51.640 -> 09:55.000] first time. It's not the first time no. I don't think David go way back. I don't think he
[09:55.000 -> 09:59.120] remembered me. Did he not? That's strange. It's very strange yeah I did say it was Fab from
[09:59.120 -> 10:02.360] you know about 20 years ago in the Trafford Centre but yeah. At this point we
[10:02.360 -> 10:07.820] should definitely give a massive shout out to Katie and Hannah from Visit Qatar because the trip they
[10:07.820 -> 10:12.500] had put together for us and like the other 24 influencers was just incredible
[10:12.500 -> 10:17.080] like normally we go to the F1 and we have the most amazing experience but
[10:17.080 -> 10:20.320] we're there like Friday, Saturday, Sunday and then we fly home but this was like a
[10:20.320 -> 10:28.760] whole week away where we didn't just get to see the F1 you get to soak in the whole the whole country so you really feel like you're like on
[10:28.760 -> 10:33.240] holiday there but at the same time they've got so many amazing experiences
[10:33.240 -> 10:37.240] that we literally did just visit Qatar it was pretty wild.
[10:37.240 -> 10:42.480] The city is mad I feel like the city is almost too amazing for the amount of
[10:42.480 -> 10:45.040] people that live there because it wasn't like really busy. No. I mean there's obviously a lot of people that live there because it wasn't like really busy
[10:45.140 -> 10:48.100] No, I mean there's obviously a lot of people that live there, but it was quite quiet
[10:48.100 -> 10:53.120] So like and it's like the safest country in the world. Mm-hmm. Yeah, people were just leaving like
[10:54.000 -> 10:59.120] Handbags or like valuable items just around on the floor and no one's gonna steal it. I couldn't believe that
[11:01.680 -> 11:06.200] Straight be good. It was amazing seeing all the different people from around the world as well come in for the Formula One.
[11:06.200 -> 11:08.520] You had fans from absolutely everywhere.
[11:08.520 -> 11:10.400] We were really lucky because with Paddock Club,
[11:10.400 -> 11:13.520] they had the rooftop, which means we could watch the races
[11:13.520 -> 11:16.640] from this position that allowed us to watch
[11:16.640 -> 11:18.240] all the way around the track.
[11:18.240 -> 11:20.400] So Saturday was amazing.
[11:20.400 -> 11:21.560] It was a great day.
[11:21.560 -> 11:22.920] We knew that we had Oscar.
[11:22.920 -> 11:24.360] Well, he won the sprint, didn't he?
[11:24.360 -> 11:25.000] He won the sprint.
[11:25.000 -> 11:31.120] So we had the celebration of him winning qualifying and then he goes and wins the sprint and
[11:31.560 -> 11:36.020] everyone there was just like wow this kid this kid this kid and we're sat there like yep
[11:36.020 -> 11:38.020] We interviewed Oscar, my new sign for McLaren.
[11:38.020 -> 11:43.000] The one thing that hit me was the heat while we were out there. It was like 40 degrees and it's so hot
[11:43.000 -> 11:44.360] That's why it's a night race, right?
[11:44.360 -> 11:47.820] But I mean I could barely stand out on the balcony
[11:47.820 -> 11:49.120] and watch the race.
[11:49.120 -> 11:50.760] Like we have to be in an air conditioned room,
[11:50.760 -> 11:52.680] so we were watching it on the screen in Boutique Club,
[11:52.680 -> 11:53.920] which is ridiculous.
[11:53.920 -> 11:58.180] And then you think like, these drivers have to do 57 laps
[11:58.180 -> 12:00.240] in a hot car around the circuit.
[12:00.240 -> 12:01.720] I mean, you saw them in the room afterwards,
[12:01.720 -> 12:04.100] they were just like, like Oscar was on the floor,
[12:04.100 -> 12:07.320] they were just knackered after that. Yeah in that car with that race suit
[12:07.720 -> 12:14.340] It's just another another level of athleticism really gives you like a whole other. Yeah risk level of respect for these lads
[12:14.340 -> 12:16.340] It's crazy, and then we go into Sunday
[12:16.720 -> 12:21.680] Max is obviously world champion Saturday night Sunday was a great race. We saw more great people
[12:22.280 -> 12:27.360] Sunday night back to Carbone wasn't it back to the uh... it was indeed yeah back to
[12:27.360 -> 12:29.280] the big party where we saw who did we
[12:29.280 -> 12:31.760] see Wycliffe Jean yeah and Neo was on
[12:31.760 -> 12:33.480] I think that's his name Neo was on but we didn't
[12:33.480 -> 12:34.720] get there in time for Neo because we
[12:34.720 -> 12:37.000] were still at the F1 no so I'm a bit sad
[12:37.000 -> 12:38.800] that we missed Neo no but Carbone was
[12:38.800 -> 12:40.400] ledge like really amazing place and
[12:40.400 -> 12:41.920] there was some footballers there mate oh
[12:41.920 -> 12:50.900] yeah you who did you meet? oh yeah I saw Meza! Mesut Ozil! That is like one of my old favourite Arsenal players. For
[12:50.900 -> 12:54.900] anyone who's into football when Arsenal signed him it was like oh my god, Arsenal have signed
[12:54.900 -> 12:59.420] one of Real Madrid's best players. It was huge! And the fact he was there, took a little
[12:59.420 -> 13:03.940] photo with him, there was other footballers there, Ferrari was there, Tim Cahill was there.
[13:03.940 -> 13:06.000] It doesn't really mean anything to me to be honest.
[13:06.000 -> 13:07.000] You saw Ronaldinho!
[13:07.000 -> 13:09.000] But you didn't get a photo.
[13:09.000 -> 13:14.000] Anyone who listens to our pod knows that I'm a big, big Ronaldinho fan.
[13:14.000 -> 13:18.000] Like I'm not a football fan, but if there is a footballer that I love, it's Ronaldinho.
[13:18.000 -> 13:21.000] And there he is just walking through the F1.
[13:21.000 -> 13:23.000] All the celebs are out and about, weren't they?
[13:23.000 -> 13:24.000] I didn't get a chance to say hello to him.
[13:24.000 -> 13:25.200] No, he swore. I got a photo with David Beck about, weren't they? I didn't get a chance to say hello to him. No, he just swarmed.
[13:25.200 -> 13:27.000] I got a photo with David Beckham,
[13:27.000 -> 13:28.880] but I would have loved one with Ronaldinho.
[13:28.880 -> 13:30.360] It didn't happen. Ronaldinho was so swarmed.
[13:30.360 -> 13:33.480] They do say, don't meet your heroes, don't they?
[13:33.480 -> 13:35.300] So maybe that's, maybe that's why.
[13:36.880 -> 13:38.600] You could have chased after him in the paddock.
[13:38.600 -> 13:39.560] I could have, yeah.
[13:39.560 -> 13:40.620] Yeah, I wasn't really feeling it.
[13:40.620 -> 13:43.120] So the F1 weekend was obviously unbelievable.
[13:43.120 -> 13:44.280] I'd say one of the best races,
[13:44.280 -> 13:49.200] most exciting races that we've been to. What was your highlight of the race?
[13:49.200 -> 13:56.520] Not even necessarily the race, but Lando Norris and McLaren have a new world record! The fastest
[13:56.520 -> 14:06.000] ever pit stop, 1.8! That isn't slow! That isn't slow! And I saw a video of Lando on stream after that, that night.
[14:06.000 -> 14:08.000] And he was like,
[14:08.000 -> 14:10.000] I got a world record talking to Max on the stream.
[14:10.000 -> 14:12.000] And they were just joking
[14:12.000 -> 14:14.000] because it was like, well did you get the world record?
[14:14.000 -> 14:16.000] And Lando was like, yeah,
[14:16.000 -> 14:18.000] without me it would never have happened.
[14:18.000 -> 14:20.000] I have to break at the right time, I have to go into the pits perfectly.
[14:20.000 -> 14:22.000] And to be fair, it is true.
[14:22.000 -> 14:24.000] Because he has to get perfectly in line.
[14:24.000 -> 14:28.880] He has to break at the right time. and I saw a video of Cal from Red Bull
[14:28.880 -> 14:33.220] yeah talking about it talking about it because they had it when he came on our
[14:33.220 -> 14:36.320] pod he was talking about how you know Ferrari had the quickest pit stop this
[14:36.320 -> 14:39.900] year and they and Red Bull wanted to get it back Red Bull got it back and now
[14:39.900 -> 14:44.240] McLaren have got it yeah pretty wild 1.8 they weren't meant to get any faster
[14:44.240 -> 14:46.420] everyone thought it would never be beaten
[14:46.420 -> 14:48.920] because they changed the regulations of pit stops.
[14:48.920 -> 14:51.360] And now it's been beaten to 1.8.
[14:51.360 -> 14:53.840] So I wonder how low it could go.
[14:53.840 -> 14:55.720] I wonder if someone could get to like one set.
[14:55.720 -> 14:56.560] I watched it back.
[14:56.560 -> 14:57.600] How low can you go?
[14:57.600 -> 14:59.100] I can get pretty low.
[14:59.100 -> 15:01.760] But I watched it back and it's ridiculous how quick it is.
[15:01.760 -> 15:04.260] It's at, you watch, they have to take a wheel off.
[15:07.120 -> 15:08.400] The synchronization in that is absolutely wild.
[15:08.400 -> 15:11.380] So McLaren, not only are you killing it with your drivers,
[15:11.380 -> 15:13.060] but quite clearly everyone in the garage
[15:13.060 -> 15:14.600] and the team is coming together as well.
[15:14.600 -> 15:16.960] So that is exciting for next year.
[15:16.960 -> 15:18.600] I feel like when they start doing well,
[15:18.600 -> 15:20.380] if a team starts doing well,
[15:20.380 -> 15:21.960] then you just keep getting better and better.
[15:21.960 -> 15:22.800] Everyone feels it.
[15:22.800 -> 15:24.120] Because you're like, you're riding on a high.
[15:24.120 -> 15:25.180] Yeah, yeah, everyone feels it. And to be honest, one of my favorite things about this whole trip was the fact that Then you just keep getting better and better because you're like you're riding on a high. Yeah Yeah
[15:25.180 -> 15:30.420] Everyone feels it and to be honest one of my favorite things about this whole trip was the fact that all the other influences on
[15:30.420 -> 15:35.920] The trip everyone knew like different people in different areas, but when we're on the paddock tour with certain people with us
[15:36.360 -> 15:38.120] We'd be walking through the paddock with them
[15:38.120 -> 15:42.000] But me and you would just be stopping and talking to like loads of people in the paddock
[15:42.000 -> 15:47.080] So it basically meant everyone on the tour got an amazing tour because they got to meet
[15:47.080 -> 15:49.400] so many great people being with us,
[15:49.400 -> 15:50.720] which was cool as well.
[15:50.720 -> 15:52.560] That was probably my favorite part of this trip
[15:52.560 -> 15:54.720] was the people that we met and became friends with.
[15:54.720 -> 15:55.800] There was Paul Wallace.
[15:55.800 -> 15:56.640] Paul, what a legend.
[15:56.640 -> 15:58.080] Who's like a car guy.
[15:58.080 -> 15:59.440] They're all car guys, really.
[15:59.440 -> 16:00.520] Yeah, Archie Hamilton.
[16:00.520 -> 16:01.360] Archie Hamilton.
[16:01.360 -> 16:02.360] Get us a lift home.
[16:02.360 -> 16:07.600] Seb Delaney, like unreal guy. the Spanish guys, the French girls, there
[16:07.600 -> 16:11.840] was loads of amazing people on this trip like we couldn't name them all one by one but I'm
[16:11.840 -> 16:16.520] very much sure throughout the videos and the clips that we'll post online after this you'll
[16:16.520 -> 16:20.040] see it we literally only got back yesterday and we're now podding first thing in the morning
[16:20.040 -> 16:48.640] so yeah heads the voice yeah touchdown last night and it's like 10 a.m. right now mmm and Which is quite nice. Yeah, but the thing is the water like this is oh, yeah It's like the hottest seat like the hottest ocean in the world you go out there. It's a fact
[16:49.200 -> 16:56.040] It's a fact. Yeah. Yeah great. So which means it might not be true, but the water is just like stepping into a bath
[16:56.320 -> 17:02.700] Mmm, it's crazy and because it's salty you can just float so me and Jake are just like floating there talking about we know
[17:02.700 -> 17:31.420] Pit stop stuff where we wanted to go swimming around us. Yeah, we went and sat in like the shallow area a That's the way you got to think about sharks. Yeah, there is sharks out there whale sharks Yeah, and not a fan of them now Tuesday was arguably one of my most favorite parts of this whole trip
[17:31.460 -> 17:35.480] We saw the itinerary when it came through and I was like, yep. This is gonna be the real deal
[17:35.700 -> 17:41.900] We got taken out. It's about an hour's drive. We got taken out to the middle of nowhere to the sand dunes
[17:41.900 -> 17:45.560] So like you're leaving Doha and you're taking this motorway
[17:45.560 -> 17:49.720] out and then all of a sudden it gets really rustic and you're like surrounded by sand
[17:49.720 -> 17:54.480] and that and then all of a sudden the cars are just going off road like over sand but
[17:54.480 -> 17:58.940] they're absolutely hammering it because if you stop in one of these cars it's just gonna
[17:58.940 -> 18:02.800] get stuck in the sand. Yeah they had to stop in there and take the air out. Yeah this guy's
[18:02.800 -> 18:07.000] like flying at like I don't know how fast he was going and I'm in the back of the car.
[18:07.000 -> 18:13.000] The steering wheel was just going absolutely crazy of it, trying to keep, yeah, driving on that sand was mega to be in the car.
[18:13.000 -> 18:15.000] And then we get there and we get to go in the buggies.
[18:15.000 -> 18:18.000] Jake and Fab are driving buggies round these sand dunes.
[18:18.000 -> 18:22.000] Visit Qatar had set up this amazing, it was called like the Almohar like...
[18:22.000 -> 18:23.000] Outpost.
[18:23.000 -> 18:24.000] Outpost.
[18:24.000 -> 18:26.560] Yeah, and it was put on with the Geneva Motor Show as well
[18:26.600 -> 18:30.420] Yeah, so they hosted us and like everyone else there they had tables set up those food
[18:30.680 -> 18:36.200] There was like cars set up and there was like a crazy light show of like people spinning fire and stuff like that
[18:36.200 -> 18:40.380] But we got to there was a choice you could either do like June bashing
[18:40.500 -> 18:43.880] Which is like when you go in an off-road car and they kind of take you which looked amazing
[18:44.000 -> 18:46.300] And the people come down to be fair they were coming
[18:46.300 -> 18:50.080] down the dunes and their cars were literally like tilted sideways coming
[18:50.080 -> 18:54.480] down and I I did think I would love to do that but the buggies the buggies were
[18:54.480 -> 18:57.680] just awesome because you get to drive them yourself we kind of figured out
[18:57.680 -> 19:02.160] that if we stay at the back of the pack then you can kind of leave a little bit
[19:02.160 -> 19:05.920] of a gap and kind of razz it so he did absolutely
[19:05.920 -> 19:12.320] razz it in these cars overtaking people which is oh wow yeah it was really really mega experience
[19:12.320 -> 19:16.240] to drive them buggies nearly rolled it a couple times had a helmet on though so it would have
[19:16.240 -> 19:21.280] been fine yep helmet marker helmet marker um so that was amazing and then yeah like i say amazing
[19:21.280 -> 19:27.800] food and it was nice to actually sit down and have a chance to actually talk to some of the people on our trip because you know, you're constantly
[19:27.800 -> 19:31.720] making content and everything, so everything's like really fast moving, but to sit down and
[19:31.720 -> 19:34.520] have some food and talk to like the lads and the people that we were with, it was really
[19:34.520 -> 19:35.520] nice.
[19:35.520 -> 19:36.520] How about a massage?
[19:36.520 -> 19:37.520] I had a massage.
[19:37.520 -> 19:38.520] Me and Seb went for a massage.
[19:38.520 -> 19:43.640] It was two at a time and like there was like thumping like Euro techno music playing.
[19:43.640 -> 19:45.000] So you know, when you're having a massage, you're trying to relax and it was just like thumping like Euro techno music playing. So, you know, when you're having a massage,
[19:45.000 -> 19:46.400] you're trying to relax.
[19:46.400 -> 19:48.440] And it was just like thumping music.
[19:48.440 -> 19:50.480] Plus getting a massage next to someone else
[19:50.480 -> 19:52.160] you've only just met like a couple of days ago
[19:52.160 -> 19:54.600] is kind of a weird thing, but it was kind of cute.
[19:54.600 -> 19:58.520] So that was by far like one of my favorite days on the trip.
[19:58.520 -> 20:00.000] But then it wasn't over there either.
[20:00.000 -> 20:02.040] We got back super late, had some dinner,
[20:02.040 -> 20:04.840] went straight to bed because on Wednesday,
[20:04.840 -> 20:05.080] we had the opportunity to do something which I've never, I think you've done it before. We got back super late, had some dinner, went straight to bed, because on Wednesday, we
[20:05.080 -> 20:08.680] had the opportunity to do something which I've never, I think you've done it before,
[20:08.680 -> 20:09.680] I've never done it before.
[20:09.680 -> 20:10.680] Never like this, never like this.
[20:10.680 -> 20:13.680] Yeah, without a doubt, Tuesday was incredible, would recommend to anyone.
[20:13.680 -> 20:18.320] If you ever go to Qatar, go to the outpost, go and do the dune buggies or something like
[20:18.320 -> 20:20.560] that because it's an incredible experience.
[20:20.560 -> 20:23.480] But Wednesday, we did jet skiing.
[20:23.480 -> 20:25.580] Now normally you think of jet skiing you
[20:25.580 -> 20:30.280] think you know 15 minutes in a tiny little area and it's gonna be great but
[20:30.280 -> 20:34.940] you might think oh that was over quick. We were out in the middle of the ocean
[20:34.940 -> 20:40.400] on these jet skis for an hour. It was absolutely wild you've got like 20 of us
[20:40.400 -> 20:45.240] just flying around on these on these jet skis a massive massive area to
[20:45.240 -> 20:48.640] go around you could literally go all the way around the sea look all the
[20:48.640 -> 20:53.000] different skylines and the Sun was just coming down as well so it looked amazing
[20:53.000 -> 20:56.480] were you scared of the ocean I was petrified of the ocean but once I was
[20:56.480 -> 21:02.200] flying on that jet ski I know it wasn't coming off so I was fine I I had no fear
[21:02.200 -> 21:09.140] I did it go pretty quick I'm quite scared of the ocean if you guys haven't heard about it before because I seem to think that's the way that I go
[21:09.140 -> 21:14.920] It's like plane crash into the ocean wherever but this was like there was no sharks around as far as I know
[21:14.920 -> 21:22.400] Maybe you didn't see it before did you I was just hungry for some speed mate got some serious speed great waves as well
[21:22.480 -> 21:26.000] Yeah, cuz it wasn't the ocean wasn't too choppy,
[21:26.000 -> 21:28.400] so you could really hit the water, you know,
[21:28.400 -> 21:29.640] and get a bit of air.
[21:29.640 -> 21:31.120] There's a few little waves and stuff.
[21:31.120 -> 21:31.960] It's good fun.
[21:31.960 -> 21:33.280] It was pretty incredible to be on a trip
[21:33.280 -> 21:34.920] that wasn't just F1.
[21:34.920 -> 21:36.480] Like, I know we're an F1 show,
[21:36.480 -> 21:39.000] and I know we saw the F1, and we did all of that,
[21:39.000 -> 21:40.200] but when you do all of this,
[21:40.200 -> 21:42.240] and you really take in where you are,
[21:42.240 -> 21:44.400] you come away with such an unbelievable experience.
[21:44.400 -> 21:46.920] Like, I didn't think Qatar would be anything like this
[21:46.920 -> 21:47.800] at all, really.
[21:47.800 -> 21:49.660] Like what did you think before we went?
[21:49.660 -> 21:52.600] I honestly, I went into it with no preconceived idea
[21:52.600 -> 21:55.520] in my mind, but for me, the main thing about these trips
[21:55.520 -> 21:57.680] is like, you know, going to watch the racing
[21:57.680 -> 21:59.640] is absolutely amazing.
[21:59.640 -> 22:01.400] But I know I love watching it on the TV.
[22:01.400 -> 22:02.400] I love going to a race
[22:02.400 -> 22:03.760] because the atmosphere is unbelievable.
[22:03.760 -> 22:07.560] But for me, these trips are just about like meeting people and just like
[22:07.960 -> 22:10.640] Because at the end of the day we want to make amazing content for you guys
[22:10.640 -> 22:13.400] And we know that we can't just do it on our own and like you know
[22:13.400 -> 22:18.360] We love having guests on the pod and we love collaborating with other people and I just want to meet so many people so that
[22:18.360 -> 22:19.480] We can make
[22:19.480 -> 22:24.200] Amazing videos with people that you guys probably already know if you're into the car scene you're into the f1 scene
[22:24.200 -> 22:26.100] You probably know all of these people yeah
[22:26.100 -> 22:30.380] so for me like me and the guys meeting the girls like they're they're great
[22:30.380 -> 22:34.880] people on the whole and I just want to share these experiences and film it all
[22:34.880 -> 22:38.220] so that you guys get to see it yeah we planned a couple of podcasts with people
[22:38.220 -> 22:41.540] that are on the trip which I think you guys get absolutely love we started
[22:41.540 -> 22:47.680] speaking about some exclusive stories of more oh yeah and we were like oh my god you have to come on the pod so I'm pretty sure
[22:47.680 -> 22:51.480] there's gonna be some great podcasts coming but yeah equally exactly the same
[22:51.480 -> 22:56.760] not just at the F1 but we stayed in the W hotel the staff everyone there was
[22:56.760 -> 23:02.560] incredible yeah shout out to the W yeah you have not just the F1 every single
[23:02.560 -> 23:05.660] thing we did out there, everyone was amazing.
[23:05.660 -> 23:07.700] It was a really, really special trip.
[23:07.700 -> 23:09.440] And now we're back in London and it's raining
[23:09.440 -> 23:12.380] and it's a bit like, ah, take me back.
[23:12.380 -> 23:13.940] But don't get me wrong, like,
[23:13.940 -> 23:16.380] hands down the best trip that we've ever been on.
[23:16.380 -> 23:18.980] The organization, everything that Visit Qatar
[23:18.980 -> 23:20.660] had sorted out for us was just unreal.
[23:20.660 -> 23:23.440] So thanks to Visit Qatar for that.
[23:23.440 -> 23:24.940] I was looking forward to coming back
[23:24.940 -> 23:28.720] to a bit of cooler weather, because Iated non-stop for seven days straight.
[23:28.720 -> 23:32.400] It was very hot but that didn't take away from the fact that it was just an
[23:32.400 -> 23:36.640] unbelievable trip. Happy to be home but just happy to go back like I want to go
[23:36.640 -> 23:40.320] back to Qatar now. Yeah next year I want to go back for it for next year. Yeah we'll
[23:40.320 -> 23:44.160] definitely go back next year it was awesome but yeah we rounded off the trip
[23:44.160 -> 23:48.800] with you know a final farewell dinner with some of the gang.
[23:48.800 -> 23:50.780] And then like saw a few of the lads,
[23:50.780 -> 23:53.320] got a nice little photo at the end of all of us together.
[23:53.320 -> 23:54.840] It's a shame because some of the lads that we met,
[23:54.840 -> 23:57.160] like Paul and like Archie, they left early
[23:57.160 -> 23:59.400] because they had other stuff that they were working on.
[23:59.400 -> 24:01.000] You know, Paul was going to like Norway
[24:01.000 -> 24:02.680] or something like that to shoot something with some cars.
[24:02.680 -> 24:03.520] So-
[24:03.520 -> 24:04.340] Everyone was doing some pretty cool stuff.
[24:04.340 -> 24:06.420] There was some unbelievably talented people
[24:06.420 -> 24:10.820] from editors to photographers to videographers and we're learning from
[24:10.820 -> 24:13.740] these people because like the way they were filming the sand buggies and dunes
[24:13.740 -> 24:17.380] and everyone has different camera setups and unless you're there and you watch
[24:17.380 -> 24:22.300] other creators film stuff you don't really know like how people do things.
[24:22.300 -> 24:26.600] They were helping us with our cameras and everything. Some of the people that we met were just like,
[24:26.600 -> 24:29.600] they are truly like top tier at what they do.
[24:29.600 -> 24:31.100] Like the editing that they do,
[24:31.100 -> 24:32.900] it makes us look like absolute rookies.
[24:32.900 -> 24:33.400] Yeah.
[24:33.400 -> 24:36.800] Like they're so, I do, I edit like one of our like YouTube videos
[24:36.800 -> 24:38.000] and I think that's pucker.
[24:38.000 -> 24:40.000] Yeah, but they thought what we do is pretty cool.
[24:40.000 -> 24:41.000] They liked our show.
[24:41.000 -> 24:42.700] People like the fact we do it from home.
[24:43.100 -> 24:43.600] Yeah.
[24:43.600 -> 24:44.100] That is cool.
[24:44.100 -> 24:44.600] Yeah, it is cool.
[24:44.600 -> 24:45.880] The fact we can produce our show from home. But no, it from home. Yeah, it is cool Yeah, we can produce that show from home
[24:45.920 -> 24:53.080] But no as a whole roundup like fab said to everyone at visit guitar to Katie to Hannah everyone else who looked after Angela
[24:53.080 -> 24:55.680] Of course everyone and to Angela's children. Hello
[24:57.120 -> 25:00.320] To everyone that made this trip amazing. Thank you so much
[25:00.320 -> 25:09.560] And for those of you that listen to the podcast watch watch the clips, watch the YouTube shorts, watch the TikToks, you've been on quite a journey with us now where we went
[25:09.560 -> 25:13.960] to our first ever race in Imola and I know that was like, oh my god, we're going to Imola
[25:13.960 -> 25:17.880] and then we end up on Sky Sports and it's like, oh my god, they're on Sky Sports and
[25:17.880 -> 25:22.000] now here we are going to Qatar for a week, meeting some unbelievable creators, having
[25:22.000 -> 25:28.400] an amazing experience and none of that would be possible without any of you so thank you very much for listening to
[25:28.400 -> 25:33.040] everything we do I'm watching there's many many great guests coming and it's
[25:33.040 -> 25:36.880] exciting for Austin now ahead of Austin it looks like it's gonna be pretty mega
[25:36.880 -> 25:40.000] yeah what are your what do you think's gonna happen you think McLaren could
[25:40.000 -> 25:43.600] maybe even get a feature race win well I mean we'll obviously have a Thursday
[25:43.600 -> 25:45.480] episode for predictions so I have quite a
[25:45.480 -> 25:47.000] bit of time to study.
[25:47.000 -> 25:48.920] What are you going to study?
[25:48.920 -> 25:50.800] I'm going to actually like study everything.
[25:50.800 -> 25:52.440] I'm figuring, I don't know what I'm going to study.
[25:52.440 -> 25:54.920] You're going to read the F1 handbook?
[25:54.920 -> 26:01.520] The thing is, no matter how good, well let's put it this way, Oscar got pole in qualifying
[26:01.520 -> 26:05.340] for the sprint which shows over one lap he is one of the quickest
[26:05.340 -> 26:11.880] drivers but in a race Max will just get so far ahead so we know that Oscar over
[26:11.880 -> 26:16.680] one lap is quick enough to beat Max so if they can just get that car a bit
[26:16.680 -> 26:22.320] quicker so interesting in it maybe Oscar could beat Max week in week I hands down
[26:22.320 -> 26:25.440] say it now I've said it to everyone all week I think
[26:25.440 -> 26:30.040] Oscar Piastri is going to be the next world champion I think after after Max
[26:30.040 -> 26:34.800] yeah oh oh for sure I thought you meant next year no not next year but after Max I think
[26:34.800 -> 26:38.000] he's the next one he's definitely got it in him and it's pretty crazy to say that
[26:38.000 -> 26:42.760] about a rookie like it sounds mad to say that about a rookie but you've got to
[26:42.760 -> 26:47.120] look at what he's doing like in comparison to Lando who's also one of the best drivers in the grid and
[26:47.120 -> 26:50.000] I do think Lando could be a world champion as well he'll definitely get
[26:50.000 -> 26:53.280] wins. 100% these young lads got the potential to do it. But that's why
[26:53.280 -> 26:56.920] McLaren signed him you know there's a reason McLaren wanted to rip him away
[26:56.920 -> 27:01.480] from Alpine and we saw it when he come on our show you see it with his record
[27:01.480 -> 27:05.640] he's got a pretty unbelievable win rate and now we're starting to see it.
[27:05.640 -> 27:08.880] So Oscar Piastri, the whole of McLaren,
[27:08.880 -> 27:12.040] congrats, I think it's gonna be pretty wild.
[27:12.040 -> 27:13.080] I'm excited for him.
[27:13.080 -> 27:16.240] Next year is gonna be an exciting, exciting season
[27:16.240 -> 27:18.000] for F1, I can't wait.
[27:18.000 -> 27:20.400] And on that note, just to reiterate what Jake said,
[27:20.400 -> 27:22.960] thanks to everyone who had us out there.
[27:22.960 -> 27:24.540] It was an unbelievable trip.
[27:24.540 -> 27:28.160] The people that we met, the people who had us out there it was an unbelievable trip the people that we met the people who had us everyone was just they looked after us
[27:28.160 -> 27:34.280] so well so well Qatar is an amazing place the people from Qatar the locals
[27:34.280 -> 27:39.520] they're just great people and I actually I just can't fault the trip no at all so
[27:39.520 -> 27:44.280] you know it was only a year ago I was digging holes in the ground laboring and
[27:44.280 -> 27:45.680] now I get to go on these amazing trips
[27:45.680 -> 27:47.660] with my best mate, it's crazy.
[27:47.660 -> 27:50.400] So, thank you guys at home for making this happen.
[27:50.400 -> 27:52.120] Yeah, I'm sure the next pod that we do,
[27:52.120 -> 27:53.380] we may have a little bit more energy,
[27:53.380 -> 27:54.720] considering we landed yesterday,
[27:54.720 -> 27:55.880] and you can hear it in my voice,
[27:55.880 -> 27:57.720] but we wanted to get something out.
[27:57.720 -> 27:59.200] We know we missed a couple,
[27:59.200 -> 28:02.280] because we just were out and doing amazing stuff.
[28:02.280 -> 28:04.080] And also, we didn't want to just update
[28:04.080 -> 28:06.040] after like two days and be like we've done this we've
[28:06.040 -> 28:07.720] done that it made more sense to come
[28:07.720 -> 28:10.200] back sit down talk through everything
[28:10.200 -> 28:12.640] and tell you everything we did but for
[28:12.640 -> 28:14.360] those listening I can't believe we met
[28:14.360 -> 28:19.160] Mark Webber. We actually saw him on the
[28:19.160 -> 28:20.680] first day in the paddock didn't we and he
[28:20.680 -> 28:22.080] like walked past and we were like should we
[28:22.080 -> 28:23.840] say hello to Mark but then we didn't.
[28:23.840 -> 28:26.120] I tried I tried mate but he, he's the kind of bloke
[28:26.120 -> 28:28.800] where when he's walking through the paddock like he's clearly on a mission.
[28:28.800 -> 28:33.120] Yeah, because everyone stops him for a moment. He's going somewhere, he's got something to do. I was like, Mark!
[28:33.120 -> 28:38.680] And he just didn't quite catch me. But this time... So I felt like this is our second opportunity,
[28:38.680 -> 28:41.160] I ain't gonna let it slip. No, it was
[28:42.520 -> 29:07.800] amazing to meet Mark. Amazing to meet Mark, because without Mark and Ann we never would have got Oscar. it Yeah, the Oscar episode is picking up a couple of views now, isn't it? On YouTube. People are finding it. Let's see what happens. Maybe there'll be a number two for Piastri.
[29:07.800 -> 29:12.300] Yeah, if you've never seen the episode with Oscar, head on to our YouTube at Pitstop, watch that great episode.
[29:12.300 -> 29:15.200] He was the first ever guest on the Pitstop fastest lap.
[29:15.400 -> 29:21.400] But we did also meet a lot of people this weekend that we think are gonna come on the show for either the go-kart lap or the sim lap.
[29:22.500 -> 29:26.680] It was a wild weekend. It was a wild weekend. I'm glad we're home
[29:26.680 -> 29:30.840] for the only reason that we can edit everything now and show you guys what we got up to. We
[29:30.840 -> 29:34.920] have so many videos from the buggies and everything like that. But yeah, I'm looking forward to
[29:34.920 -> 29:37.160] Austin now. I'm really looking forward to Austin.
[29:37.160 -> 29:41.240] Yep. Can't wait to sit down, order a little Maccy D's. Actually, it's a late race, isn't
[29:41.240 -> 29:45.000] it? It'll be nice to watch one at home and like take everything in again.
[29:45.000 -> 29:46.000] Yeah.
[29:46.000 -> 29:48.000] You know, because it's a completely different experience when you're there.
[29:48.000 -> 29:50.000] Yeah, it'd be nice. It'd be good fun. I can't wait.
[29:50.000 -> 29:53.000] I had no idea when we were there whether it was Hammond or Russell's fault with that crash
[29:53.000 -> 29:56.000] and then Hammond apologised and I was thinking, oh.
[29:56.000 -> 29:59.000] I'm just looking forward to Vegas, mate. I think Vegas is going to be...
[29:59.000 -> 30:02.000] Vegas is going to be mad. There's some good races left on the calendar now.
[30:02.000 -> 30:09.600] And who knows if we're going to be at any more of them them We only found out about this Qatar trip a week before the race. Anything is possible. Anything could happen
[30:09.600 -> 30:16.820] Oh mate fingers are crossed fingers are crossed ladies and gents. Thanks for listening to pit stop once again
