[01:16.640 -> 01:17.880] and give you our opinions.
[01:17.880 -> 01:18.720] Yes, we are.
[01:18.720 -> 01:20.120] Cause what an interesting day it was.
[01:20.120 -> 01:20.960] That was unbelievable.
[01:20.960 -> 01:21.840] I bet you're happy, aren't you?
[01:21.840 -> 01:22.880] Oh, I'm so happy.
[01:22.880 -> 01:24.040] You're a happy boy.
[01:24.040 -> 01:25.760] But it's kind of, I think it was expected.
[01:25.760 -> 01:32.760] We've got one very happy Ferrari fan and we've got one Haas fan who cannot believe Magnussen is P7.
[01:32.760 -> 01:36.160] Magnussen qualifying higher than George Russell is just what you want.
[01:36.160 -> 01:37.160] Absolutely unbelievable.
[01:37.160 -> 01:39.160] Did you see that photo of Gunther, how happy he was?
[01:39.160 -> 01:42.160] Yeah mate, that made me so happy just seeing that smile.
[01:42.160 -> 01:46.240] Bottas coming in at P6 in front of his Mercedes
[01:46.240 -> 01:49.080] teammate. There's gonna be no Mercedes calling saying can you let him past.
[01:49.080 -> 01:53.000] That's gonna be an interesting battle today. Well they're next to each other
[01:53.000 -> 01:58.480] you said? Yeah P5 P6 Hamilton and Russell. It's gonna get naughty down into turn one.
[01:58.480 -> 02:02.200] Give your prediction on do you think Mercedes are gonna pull out the bag
[02:02.200 -> 02:05.480] today? They're sat in P5 and P9. How do you think they're gonna pull out the bag today? They're sat in p5 and p9 How do you think they're gonna perform?
[02:05.480 -> 02:10.340] I think there's a lot of work to be done for them to try and get anywhere near the front
[02:10.340 -> 02:16.100] But I do think they have it in them. Maybe they're not gonna get first. It's gonna be a big battle this race
[02:16.100 -> 02:19.160] You're probably gonna see a red bull ferrari battle, but that first corner
[02:19.160 -> 02:24.440] I predict Max Verstappen's coming out of that first corner in the lead. Oh, oh in the lead. Yeah, I do
[02:24.440 -> 02:27.360] I think he's gonna coming out of that first corner in the lead. Oh, in the lead? Yeah, I do. I think he's going to come out of that first corner. We'll have to wait and
[02:27.360 -> 02:30.720] see, but it's going to be unbelievable. What a shame about McLaren.
[02:31.280 -> 02:35.600] Yeah, not really. I mean, I'm happy that my team's at the front. I don't really care.
[02:35.600 -> 02:40.400] It was looking like it could be good for McLaren this year, but I mean, there's still time.
[02:40.400 -> 02:41.040] There's still time.
[02:41.040 -> 02:44.560] Oh, plenty of time. The cars won't be developed yet. There's plenty to come.
[02:44.560 -> 02:48.680] They could make a lot of changes they got I mean six months
[02:48.680 -> 02:54.000] no they got 12 months they're not better by six months that you know I'm saying
[02:54.000 -> 02:56.980] then they're fucked yeah we're just watching the end of the
[02:56.980 -> 03:00.680] gridwalk now ten minutes until lights out and away we go thank you very much

[03:22.080 -> 03:26.520] That is a wrap on the first race of the 2022 season.
[03:26.520 -> 03:27.920] Bahrain is over.
[03:27.920 -> 03:29.520] And who won?
[03:29.520 -> 03:30.360] Who won?
[03:30.360 -> 03:31.180] I don't know what to say.
[03:31.180 -> 03:32.020] Who won, tell you.
[03:32.020 -> 03:32.860] Ferrari!
[03:33.760 -> 03:35.000] It's a one, two.
[03:35.000 -> 03:36.840] It's a one, two for Ferrari.
[03:36.840 -> 03:37.760] We've sealed it.
[03:37.760 -> 03:38.880] It's in the bag.
[03:38.880 -> 03:40.400] We love to see Ferrari back.
[03:40.400 -> 03:42.160] That is the most special thing ever,
[03:42.160 -> 03:46.620] just to see the team that you absolutely love back
[03:47.060 -> 03:50.260] It's amazing mate and not just for me not just for the team
[03:50.300 -> 03:53.420] but I want to be selfish and say for me because as
[03:54.420 -> 03:59.100] You're fully aware and probably some of our listeners are as well. I don't really care about sport
[03:59.100 -> 04:00.180] I don't follow sport
[04:00.180 -> 04:03.360] But I see the way that you and my friends and other people
[04:03.540 -> 04:06.480] Have that passion for it and have the connection to it
[04:06.480 -> 04:08.240] when your fucking team wins.
[04:08.240 -> 04:09.600] I don't get that.
[04:09.600 -> 04:11.400] Like in music, you don't get that.
[04:11.400 -> 04:15.280] But to finally have Ferrari back on top, I feel proud, man.
[04:15.280 -> 04:19.320] I feel proud, happy, excited.
[04:19.320 -> 04:20.640] My team is fucking winning.
[04:20.640 -> 04:21.480] Here we go.
[04:21.480 -> 04:23.240] So none of you have ever heard any of that before
[04:23.240 -> 04:26.180] and Ferrari go get a one, two and he bleeds his heart out.
[04:26.180 -> 04:27.440] That's it.
[04:27.440 -> 04:29.720] Red, red through and through.
[04:29.720 -> 04:32.460] It's nice to just feel like part of something.
[04:32.460 -> 04:33.720] We are Italian.
[04:33.720 -> 04:34.560] I am.
[04:34.560 -> 04:36.700] So fair enough, you know, doing well for you.
[04:36.700 -> 04:38.700] It's great for you and your dad will be excited now.
[04:38.700 -> 04:39.540] Absolutely.
[04:39.540 -> 04:41.980] And we're not just happy because Ferrari won.
[04:41.980 -> 04:45.880] Kevin Magnusson, absolute monster.
[04:45.880 -> 04:48.680] I'm very aware my t-shirt says P1.
[04:48.680 -> 04:50.680] I was prepping for a P1.
[04:50.680 -> 04:51.920] We got a P7.
[04:51.920 -> 04:54.280] It looks a little bit like a seven.
[04:54.280 -> 04:55.120] Yeah, well, that's it.
[04:55.120 -> 04:56.280] It could have just been wrong,
[04:56.280 -> 04:58.760] but what a race for him to see Gunther's face at the end.
[04:58.760 -> 04:59.680] That was all worth it.
[04:59.680 -> 05:02.160] Absolutely incredible to see Haas back in,
[05:02.160 -> 05:03.720] you know, scoring points.
[05:03.720 -> 05:09.200] I actually got that completely wrong.ussen finished fifth today oh my god I
[05:09.200 -> 05:13.520] completely forgot that he was fifth not seventh because Perez
[05:13.520 -> 05:17.920] with the spin out. So much happened at the end and the Red Bulls going out McLaren not picking it up
[05:17.920 -> 05:21.600] we're gonna go through the race start to finish and we're gonna give you our
[05:21.600 -> 05:25.660] thoughts on it because that was a crazy opening race.
[05:25.660 -> 05:26.500] It was crazy.
[05:26.500 -> 05:28.660] It's kind of what everyone wanted to see
[05:28.660 -> 05:32.020] after such an epic battle at the end of last season,
[05:32.020 -> 05:34.660] to have a race like that to start off with, ledge.
[05:34.660 -> 05:36.460] What did you think straight off the bat,
[05:36.460 -> 05:38.260] first thoughts of the new regulations,
[05:38.260 -> 05:40.340] new cars, watching them race side by side
[05:40.340 -> 05:41.300] and right behind each other?
[05:41.300 -> 05:43.180] Do you think it looks good?
[05:43.180 -> 05:44.440] Yeah, it looks amazing.
[05:44.440 -> 05:47.680] I won't lie to you about halfway through the race I was thinking I mean
[05:47.680 -> 05:51.880] this is in the Clare's bag he's not going to get challenged for the rest of
[05:51.880 -> 05:56.140] the race obviously that didn't happen which is great which is great the safety
[05:56.140 -> 05:59.640] car you don't want to see like one guy out the front all the time. Guttin there
[05:59.640 -> 06:04.400] was Gasly, Guttin, Gasly was doing great and then the car sets on fire
[06:04.400 -> 06:07.400] there's nothing he can do, loses all power.
[06:07.400 -> 06:10.320] Absolutely gutting, he was having a great race.
[06:10.320 -> 06:13.880] But yeah, it just seemed to fall perfectly
[06:13.880 -> 06:15.560] into the hands of Magnussen,
[06:15.560 -> 06:18.840] who has put in one of the most amazing drives to sit there.
[06:18.840 -> 06:20.160] When you look at that final grid
[06:20.160 -> 06:21.800] and you see the Ferraris, the Mercedes,
[06:21.800 -> 06:23.160] and then a Haas in fifth.
[06:23.160 -> 06:24.040] Yeah.
[06:24.040 -> 06:25.840] Haas are third in the Constructors.
[06:25.840 -> 06:26.680] That is unbelievable.
[06:26.680 -> 06:28.040] And you got them in your fantasy.
[06:28.040 -> 06:29.320] Who've you got in your fantasy?
[06:29.320 -> 06:31.280] I've got Haas as one of my, I've got three teams.
[06:31.280 -> 06:32.720] Haas is one of the Constructors
[06:32.720 -> 06:33.760] and the Ferrari are the other two.
[06:33.760 -> 06:34.720] So I'm winning, baby.
[06:34.720 -> 06:35.560] I'm on top.
[06:35.560 -> 06:38.120] I did Haas as my Constructor,
[06:38.120 -> 06:43.120] but I've got Schumacher, not Magnussen.
[06:43.720 -> 06:44.560] But, oh well.
[06:44.560 -> 06:45.920] Schumacher was a million. Schumacher was smashing. Schumacher was a million more as well. Schumacher, not Magnussen. But oh well. I think Schumacher was smashing.
[06:45.920 -> 06:47.760] Schumacher was a million more as well.
[06:47.760 -> 06:50.440] Schumacher did well today, I think it's gonna come.
[06:50.440 -> 06:53.440] It was crazy to see Mercedes B look like
[06:53.440 -> 06:54.640] they're completely out of it.
[06:54.640 -> 06:57.160] And then all of a sudden, they're completely back in it.
[06:57.160 -> 06:59.480] Like if their car is not as developed,
[06:59.480 -> 07:01.860] obviously it's not as ready as the others.
[07:01.860 -> 07:04.320] Maybe they are quite close to having
[07:04.320 -> 07:05.720] a really, really quick car
[07:05.720 -> 07:09.480] because they did turn around some terrible decisions. I couldn't understand why they
[07:09.480 -> 07:10.480] were on hards for so long.
[07:10.480 -> 07:15.480] Yeah, I don't know. I kind of struggle with picturing their tactics still, but I mean,
[07:15.480 -> 07:18.280] hey, look, it's Mercedes. Obviously, they're going to come back with a better car.
[07:18.280 -> 07:21.000] They know what they're doing, don't they? You don't win the Constructors that many times
[07:21.000 -> 07:22.480] in a row and not know what you're doing.
[07:22.480 -> 07:25.360] That's it. That's it. I was wondering what happened with Red Bull though.
[07:25.360 -> 07:26.200] I don't really know.
[07:26.200 -> 07:30.720] Yeah, so, well, what happened was
[07:30.720 -> 07:33.740] there was a technical error in the tailgate unit
[07:33.740 -> 07:37.240] that led to a power failure up front
[07:37.240 -> 07:40.240] with the aerodynamic steering.
[07:40.240 -> 07:43.400] And because of the aerodynamic steering,
[07:43.400 -> 07:46.240] car went night, night, The aerodynamic steering, wow.
[07:46.240 -> 07:47.080] I don't know, mate.
[07:47.080 -> 07:50.040] There's so many new regulations in 2022.
[07:50.040 -> 07:51.640] They haven't even really said what happened yet.
[07:51.640 -> 07:52.480] I haven't got a clue.
[07:52.480 -> 07:53.960] Yeah, I don't think they've got to the bottom of it.
[07:53.960 -> 07:56.360] But how crazy it happens to Verstappen,
[07:56.360 -> 07:59.560] and then all of a sudden, it's that same thing.
[07:59.560 -> 08:00.840] Twice, both drivers.
[08:00.840 -> 08:01.680] Yeah.
[08:01.680 -> 08:02.800] They both lose power.
[08:02.800 -> 08:05.040] Yeah, that's, I mean, I don't know.
[08:05.040 -> 08:07.160] I don't know enough to go on record about this shit
[08:07.160 -> 08:10.120] and say like what it could have been.
[08:10.120 -> 08:11.840] But just looking at it, you think,
[08:11.840 -> 08:14.640] I personally think that they create these cars
[08:14.640 -> 08:16.720] so that they're on peak performance
[08:16.720 -> 08:18.160] for the amount of laps they're doing.
[08:18.160 -> 08:19.000] Well, that's what I thought.
[08:19.000 -> 08:20.760] So these cars aren't gonna be able to run
[08:20.760 -> 08:22.840] for like a hundred laps and keep going.
[08:22.840 -> 08:25.700] I think they try and narrow it down as much as possible
[08:25.700 -> 08:28.160] so that they just peak performance for 57 laps
[08:28.160 -> 08:29.320] and maybe they just cut it short.
[08:29.320 -> 08:30.880] And there's just seems like there's been a slight
[08:30.880 -> 08:32.680] miscalculation within the Red Bull team.
[08:32.680 -> 08:33.520] It does.
[08:33.520 -> 08:34.960] I wouldn't worry about it.
[08:34.960 -> 08:35.840] No, a hundred percent.
[08:35.840 -> 08:36.680] They had a great race.
[08:36.680 -> 08:38.560] It does look like it's going to be one of them seasons
[08:38.560 -> 08:40.280] where you're going to have multiple different teams
[08:40.280 -> 08:42.560] at the top battling, which is what everyone wants.
[08:42.560 -> 08:43.960] It's going to be extremely exciting.
[08:43.960 -> 08:45.360] No one wants to turn on every week and see one person just storm the field, storm the field, storm which is what everyone wants. It's going to be extremely exciting. No one wants to turn on every week
[08:45.360 -> 08:47.120] and see one person just storm the field,
[08:47.120 -> 08:48.480] storm the field, storm the field.
[08:48.480 -> 08:49.320] Definitely not.
[08:49.320 -> 08:50.600] You want a race, but one of the teams
[08:50.600 -> 08:53.000] which I thought would be competing for that was McLaren.
[08:53.000 -> 08:54.160] And what the fuck happened to them?
[08:54.160 -> 08:55.840] I know, they just didn't look ready.
[08:55.840 -> 08:58.840] They, Lando and Ricciardo spoke after the race.
[08:58.840 -> 09:00.680] They just said the team needs to keep developing,
[09:00.680 -> 09:01.520] keep getting things.
[09:01.520 -> 09:03.480] They obviously weren't a hundred percent ready for this.
[09:03.480 -> 09:07.680] They tried a few different tactics. I think they switched to hards early went
[09:07.680 -> 09:11.600] along with that or stayed on mediums for a while they tried
[09:11.600 -> 09:15.280] different things from the back of the grid but it just didn't go their way
[09:15.280 -> 09:19.360] yeah it's crazy to see McLaren because we really thought before the season they
[09:19.360 -> 09:22.320] would be one of the teams that would be right up there yeah but I mean this
[09:22.320 -> 09:26.260] happened last season but we're one race in this happened last season for But we're one race in. This happened last season for Mercedes.
[09:26.260 -> 09:28.140] Yeah, it's just like one of them things,
[09:28.140 -> 09:29.740] we've never watched a whole season,
[09:29.740 -> 09:31.380] so it's really easy to watch one race
[09:31.380 -> 09:32.960] and be like, unbelievable.
[09:32.960 -> 09:34.700] But then when you think about all the graphics we've made,
[09:34.700 -> 09:36.220] think of how many drivers DNFed
[09:36.220 -> 09:37.660] and how many of this and how many that,
[09:37.660 -> 09:39.540] happens like a fair bit.
[09:39.540 -> 09:43.440] So anything can happen from this point going forward,
[09:43.440 -> 09:44.820] but it does look like we're gonna have
[09:44.820 -> 09:46.320] a very competitive grid
[09:46.320 -> 09:48.800] and the Ferraris look unbelievable.
[09:48.800 -> 09:50.800] And just watching that team celebrate
[09:50.800 -> 09:53.660] after they, when their drivers come back,
[09:53.660 -> 09:54.940] that's what you wanna see.
[09:54.940 -> 09:57.140] I think it's what Ferrari needed
[09:57.140 -> 10:00.160] to give them a bit of stink going into the season.
[10:00.160 -> 10:01.000] Definitely.
[10:01.000 -> 10:02.840] They definitely can't take their foot off the gas yet.
[10:02.840 -> 10:04.480] When you've got Red Bull and Mercedes
[10:04.480 -> 10:05.600] sniffing up your backside, do you know what I mean? You can't, they can't take their foot off the gas yet. When you've got Red Bull and Mercedes sniffing up your backside,
[10:05.600 -> 10:09.400] do you know what I mean? You can't, they can't take their foot off the gas for the whole season.
[10:09.400 -> 10:13.000] It's going to be really interesting next week to see whether Leclerc can come straight out.
[10:13.000 -> 10:16.200] Imagine Leclerc next week just goes Qualifier pole, straight away.
[10:16.200 -> 10:20.600] Like that would be statement. It's possible mate, because the race is like a week's time from now.
[10:20.600 -> 10:24.600] You can't turn around a new car in a week's time. You won't be able to do much, no.
[10:24.600 -> 10:27.160] He's an amazing driver. That's one of the first races we've
[10:27.160 -> 10:30.200] seen him just smash it because we haven't watched for ages but wow what a
[10:30.200 -> 10:34.960] drive and I jokingly said oh I pick Leclerc over Sainz because he's better
[10:34.960 -> 10:39.240] looking but a lot of people actually said in the comments they think Sainz
[10:39.240 -> 10:41.920] was better yeah I've seen a lot of people say that Sainz is more likely to
[10:41.920 -> 10:44.800] win than Leclerc it's really interesting I just think they're both unbelievable
[10:44.800 -> 10:46.720] drivers hmm they've got such a
[10:46.720 -> 10:50.880] good team dynamic. It does bring me back to obviously they were only one two
[10:50.880 -> 10:53.960] right at the end because of the Verstappen dropout. But if there was
[10:53.960 -> 10:57.960] another ten laps on that and Leclerc's tyres were wearing a little bit, do you
[10:57.960 -> 11:00.480] think Sainz is the kind of teammate that's gonna sit behind and they're
[11:00.480 -> 11:04.440] gonna go yeah I'll just stay here hold off third. No no no not at all he even
[11:04.440 -> 11:06.800] said at the end he's like I've got a bit of work to do I've got some
[11:06.800 -> 11:09.840] homework to do when I get home for next week but I mean ultimately the goal is
[11:09.840 -> 11:13.520] to try and compete for p1 so how do Ferrari now deal with a dynamic of maybe
[11:13.520 -> 11:16.880] having a one-two pairing of drivers that are both gonna battle for one that
[11:16.880 -> 11:21.040] apparently best friends maybe they are best friends but you can see how the
[11:21.040 -> 11:24.840] dynamic could switch very quickly it could change and that again I guess
[11:24.840 -> 11:28.000] that's why they're trying to hold the team as close together as they can,
[11:28.000 -> 11:29.200] like the thing at the end today.
[11:29.200 -> 11:32.600] It could affect the morale on the team, again, might not perform as well,
[11:32.600 -> 11:36.000] but I think, I don't even know your teammates,
[11:36.000 -> 11:39.500] you're still competing to win and that's the same with any team.
[11:39.900 -> 11:43.400] I mean, there's arguments for most of the people at the top of the grid got very lucky,
[11:43.400 -> 11:46.240] obviously with the Red Bull dropout.
[11:46.240 -> 11:47.760] Russell finishing fourth.
[11:47.760 -> 11:48.760] Yeah.
[11:48.760 -> 11:49.760] Started ninth.
[11:49.760 -> 11:53.200] Yeah, again, kind of where I expected him to come.
[11:53.200 -> 11:54.200] Where you expect.
[11:54.200 -> 11:56.960] If there hadn't been the two Red Bulls come out, then he would have been sixth.
[11:56.960 -> 11:58.920] That's kind of where I sort of pictured him.
[11:58.920 -> 12:03.920] The man himself, Bottas, started sixth and finished sixth.
[12:03.920 -> 12:06.080] What a drive for Alfa Romeo.
[12:06.080 -> 12:07.200] Solid, solid.
[12:07.200 -> 12:08.880] Again, on the Ferrari engine.
[12:09.740 -> 12:11.240] Yeah, that was interesting what they were saying
[12:11.240 -> 12:12.640] at the end, they were saying that people,
[12:12.640 -> 12:14.720] is it on the Mercedes engine?
[12:14.720 -> 12:16.120] Yeah, who's on the Mercedes, is it Williams?
[12:16.120 -> 12:19.240] Like most of the teams that finished at the bottom today
[12:19.240 -> 12:21.680] were Mercedes engines, but then they were saying
[12:21.680 -> 12:23.440] it can't quite be that, just that,
[12:23.440 -> 12:26.360] because you look at Mercedes, they finished three and four.
[12:27.500 -> 12:28.840] But is it the same engine?
[12:28.840 -> 12:30.320] Have they tinkered with it a little bit?
[12:30.320 -> 12:31.720] That's what you like to say.
[12:31.720 -> 12:33.360] Who knows, who knows?
[12:33.360 -> 12:35.800] But the fact that Haas are using a Ferrari engine
[12:35.800 -> 12:36.760] is all that really matters.
[12:36.760 -> 12:39.960] Do you think Haas can score points week in week out?
[12:39.960 -> 12:41.480] Yeah, yeah.
[12:41.480 -> 12:42.640] What I think is cool is,
[12:42.640 -> 12:44.720] is that if anyone's gonna win it from,
[12:44.720 -> 12:46.800] after that performance, you'd say it's Magnussen
[12:46.800 -> 12:48.600] who's gonna be getting him the points.
[12:48.600 -> 12:52.800] But how crazy is it that he had 40 months out from F1
[12:52.800 -> 12:54.820] and on like fucking four days notice
[12:54.820 -> 12:57.260] or three days notice comes back.
[12:57.260 -> 12:58.440] I mean, he wouldn't have been going through
[12:58.440 -> 13:00.040] the intense training that these guys
[13:00.040 -> 13:02.800] have been doing every day with their personal trainers.
[13:02.800 -> 13:04.760] So arguably out of shape
[13:04.760 -> 13:07.320] and then goes and puts in that performance, nuts.
[13:07.320 -> 13:08.160] It's crazy.
[13:08.160 -> 13:10.560] So come off the back and just put that in.
[13:10.560 -> 13:11.740] I don't know if he's been racing,
[13:11.740 -> 13:12.920] has he been racing elsewhere?
[13:12.920 -> 13:13.920] I'm not sure.
[13:13.920 -> 13:15.120] I tried to Google it,
[13:15.120 -> 13:16.400] because I said that he did IndyCar,
[13:16.400 -> 13:17.280] and IndyCar wasn't right.
[13:17.280 -> 13:20.080] I think he did do one of them events
[13:20.080 -> 13:20.920] somewhere around the world,
[13:20.920 -> 13:22.160] but either way, not Formula One.
[13:22.160 -> 13:24.340] So yeah, to come back and have that strength
[13:24.340 -> 13:26.800] in your body and mindset to be able to put that in.
[13:26.800 -> 13:28.120] Shows that you're just born for it.
[13:28.120 -> 13:28.960] And I think you're born racing driver.
[13:28.960 -> 13:30.880] And it's so exciting for Haas.
[13:30.880 -> 13:32.360] Like you want them to do great.
[13:32.360 -> 13:33.880] You don't want them to be rock bottom.
[13:33.880 -> 13:35.360] You want them to be competing every week.
[13:35.360 -> 13:37.160] I mean, you want Mick to get up there into the points.
[13:37.160 -> 13:38.200] He was unlucky today.
[13:38.200 -> 13:40.120] Mick was in the points for a bit,
[13:40.120 -> 13:41.640] but when everyone was battling back,
[13:41.640 -> 13:43.800] it just became a little bit too much for him.
[13:43.800 -> 13:44.920] Yeah, I don't know.
[13:44.920 -> 13:46.320] It's a tough one.
[13:46.320 -> 13:48.000] Like in Drive to Survive,
[13:48.000 -> 13:51.440] you had Mazepin arguing that the cars were different.
[13:51.440 -> 13:52.280] Do you know what I mean?
[13:52.280 -> 13:54.080] And then Mazepin leaves,
[13:54.080 -> 13:56.480] Magnussen just smashes it in front of Schumacher.
[13:56.480 -> 13:57.720] They definitely developed their car
[13:57.720 -> 13:59.280] and they've definitely done a really good job.
[13:59.280 -> 14:03.560] And that also means Fab got his first prediction right
[14:03.560 -> 14:04.440] for the season.
[14:04.440 -> 14:05.280] What did you predict?
[14:05.280 -> 14:06.440] I can't remember.
[14:06.440 -> 14:08.960] Points for Haas in the first three races.
[14:08.960 -> 14:11.000] And they did, first race, they got points.
[14:11.000 -> 14:12.600] And that would be better than you'd ever imagine.
[14:12.600 -> 14:13.440] You were probably thinking,
[14:13.440 -> 14:16.360] oh, they might get in, you know, eighth, ninth, tenth.
[14:16.360 -> 14:17.200] I was just, yeah.
[14:17.200 -> 14:18.320] Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
[14:18.320 -> 14:20.160] Definitely didn't think fucking fifth.
[14:20.160 -> 14:21.360] That is unbelievable.
[14:21.360 -> 14:24.320] And you got two points for picking up Leclerc win.
[14:24.320 -> 14:27.760] Yeah, but I'll be interested to see if Haas can hold on to that now.
[14:27.760 -> 14:30.480] Well, that's the thing because they're gonna stay the same.
[14:30.480 -> 14:34.160] That's the thing, they've spent so long developing their car that admittedly they're ahead of the
[14:34.160 -> 14:39.920] others, but the others are gonna catch up. You know, when Red Bull back on that grid
[14:40.560 -> 14:46.200] and when McLaren are coming up, you're already going to be looking Magnussen down into like nine, 10.
[14:46.200 -> 14:47.600] But then at the same time,
[14:47.600 -> 14:49.560] if he drives like he drove today
[14:49.560 -> 14:51.840] and everyone's still developing for quite a few races,
[14:51.840 -> 14:53.240] he's going to be able to pick up points.
[14:53.240 -> 14:54.280] Yeah, absolutely.
[14:54.280 -> 14:55.360] And he might just get better.
[14:55.360 -> 14:56.880] Like you said, he's come back after that time.
[14:56.880 -> 14:59.120] What if he does just get better every week?
[14:59.120 -> 14:59.940] Who knows, mate?
[14:59.940 -> 15:03.280] All I know is he seems like a nice guy
[15:03.280 -> 15:05.720] and Gunther was happy as fuck after all of that.
[15:05.720 -> 15:06.960] He does seem like a lovely guy.
[15:06.960 -> 15:08.200] Leclerc seems like a lovely guy.
[15:08.200 -> 15:09.520] So do Sainz by the way.
[15:09.520 -> 15:13.280] Just watching them do their interviews and that, it's really refreshing to see how everyone
[15:13.280 -> 15:15.720] seems in a really good mood.
[15:15.720 -> 15:20.960] I thought that yesterday when Christian, Christian's probably in a worse mood today, but I thought
[15:20.960 -> 15:26.600] that yesterday after the qualified P2 and he was like, yeah, it's good. Like the car's not quite there yet.
[15:26.600 -> 15:27.980] And that is true with Red Bull.
[15:27.980 -> 15:32.880] I do believe that out of Red Bull and Mercedes are probably the two furthest behind cars
[15:32.880 -> 15:37.420] because last season they were so far clear of everyone else that they were only focused
[15:37.420 -> 15:38.920] on winning that, I think.
[15:38.920 -> 15:43.120] Whilst a lot of the other teams were able to go, we couldn't compete at the last year.
[15:43.120 -> 15:44.120] It's gone.
[15:44.120 -> 15:46.220] Yeah. So we're going to spend all this time developing,
[15:46.220 -> 15:48.000] which is clearly what a lot of them have done.
[15:48.000 -> 15:50.320] So that might be why Red Bull and Mercedes
[15:50.320 -> 15:52.480] are that little bit behind.
[15:52.480 -> 15:56.400] It's going to be interesting to also follow Perez
[15:56.400 -> 15:57.240] for this season,
[15:57.240 -> 16:00.160] because there's obviously talks of Gasly
[16:00.160 -> 16:01.400] coming back to Red Bull.
[16:01.400 -> 16:02.880] So he would be replacing Perez.
[16:02.880 -> 16:04.280] That would be my dream, by the way.
[16:04.280 -> 16:05.000] I'd love that.
[16:05.000 -> 16:11.000] But I mean Perez is a solid driver and it wasn't his fault that he, what happened to him in this last race.
[16:11.000 -> 16:17.000] So let's just see how he gets on. I mean if he has a shit year then I can see Gasly coming in,
[16:17.000 -> 16:20.000] Red Bull lapping him up, taking him under his wing because he put in a good performance today.
[16:20.000 -> 16:22.000] Again what was he sitting? Eighth I think?
[16:22.000 -> 16:27.600] He had a great race, he got really unlucky. think he might have been 10th when he went out but he was he was was having a great race
[16:27.600 -> 16:34.080] and he is a great driver and that Alfa Tauri will be a quick car it's very exciting for Gasly I've
[16:34.080 -> 16:38.160] always wanted him back at Red Bull just from him in Drive Survive I loved it I just thought he was
[16:38.160 -> 16:46.160] a great guy I think he's got a great personality it was just the most crazy start I'm so happy it went the way it
[16:46.160 -> 16:50.360] did I'm so glad Ferrari just put in a statement of a one-two it makes everyone
[16:50.360 -> 16:54.200] else so much more hungry. You couldn't you couldn't have even dreamt it up
[16:54.200 -> 16:59.560] really I couldn't I mean I knew one of them was gonna I mean do well but to
[16:59.560 -> 17:07.020] have a one-two nuts nuts after not being able to adapt to that hybrid era and Ferrari
[17:07.020 -> 17:13.220] being out of the game for years to come back at the top they're the champions
[17:13.220 -> 17:17.280] Ferrari is the greatest greatest cars in the world. It's amazing for us because
[17:17.280 -> 17:19.980] people have been commenting on our content saying we absolutely love the
[17:19.980 -> 17:23.540] fact you guys are just like neutral fans supporting everyone going wild we do
[17:23.540 -> 17:28.360] love everyone but obviously Fab has really great ties to Ferrari wants Ferrari to
[17:28.360 -> 17:31.640] do amazing but so do I everyone wants Ferrari to do amazing they were the
[17:31.640 -> 17:36.400] first like racing team or anything I ever knew so of course hey I love red
[17:36.400 -> 17:40.160] boards not like I don't I don't dislike any other team yeah I think we love it
[17:40.160 -> 17:44.760] because we do just love the race when Verstappen went round Leclerc and then
[17:44.760 -> 17:46.440] Leclerc took him back,
[17:46.440 -> 17:49.000] that moment on our TikTok is a hilarious clip,
[17:49.000 -> 17:50.520] so you have to go and watch that.
[17:50.520 -> 17:52.680] But if Verstappen didn't lock up
[17:52.680 -> 17:55.400] and get the flat spot on his tyre,
[17:55.400 -> 17:57.840] I reckon he could have got away.
[17:57.840 -> 17:59.000] But then at the same time,
[17:59.000 -> 18:00.760] his car at the end probably would have gone.
[18:00.760 -> 18:01.800] He would have still had that trouble.
[18:01.800 -> 18:03.840] And I was watching the clock throughout most of the race
[18:03.840 -> 18:05.360] and I think they were winning. I most of the race and he there was certainly I think
[18:05.360 -> 18:07.760] They were winning. I think Red Bull were fastest in like
[18:08.360 -> 18:12.480] In the second and third sector, but in the first sector, they just couldn't keep up with the Ferraris
[18:12.480 -> 18:18.280] I'd love to know exactly what went wrong with Red Bull. I have no idea what actually happened
[18:18.280 -> 18:24.320] It does look like just like a power failure. Sure. We're kind of actually just watching the repeats right now while doing this podcast
[18:24.320 -> 18:26.920] So if anything pops up, we'll bring it to light.
[18:26.920 -> 18:29.120] Yeah, we've been filming in the lounge.
[18:29.120 -> 18:33.120] So the audio might be a little bit different because as you may see on our socials, the
[18:33.120 -> 18:37.640] content we've put out, we've set up like a race room so that we can watch, film all the
[18:37.640 -> 18:39.440] audio and get the best content.
[18:39.440 -> 18:43.320] Which brings me to a great point in saying, if you have any feedback for us at Instagram,
[18:43.320 -> 18:44.320] is that pit stop?
[18:44.320 -> 18:47.080] At TikTok, is that pit stop? please do follow this podcast if you're
[18:47.080 -> 18:52.360] enjoying it give it a five star rating it's been the most crazy start to this
[18:52.360 -> 18:56.360] podcast for us and I'm so excited the races are underway so where are we next
[18:56.360 -> 19:01.040] week next week we are at Jeddah and do you think Max is gonna hit the wall
[19:01.040 -> 19:06.440] again did he hit the wall Jeddah why are we always so confused about this one?
[19:06.440 -> 19:08.560] I think it is Jeddah that Max hit the wall, yes.
[19:08.560 -> 19:09.400] I don't know.
[19:09.400 -> 19:11.720] Every time I say it, I wanna say it's Saudi Arabia.
[19:11.720 -> 19:13.280] But isn't Saudi Arabia Jeddah?
[19:13.280 -> 19:14.120] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[19:14.120 -> 19:16.300] I get confused, because I don't know which one's what.
[19:16.300 -> 19:19.360] Yeah, no, there's gonna be more months of this.
[19:19.360 -> 19:20.440] There's gonna be more months
[19:20.440 -> 19:21.280] of us being completely fucking confused.
[19:21.280 -> 19:23.320] I think we learned a lot today.
[19:23.320 -> 19:24.880] I think in this race week,
[19:24.880 -> 19:26.360] we learned more than we've
[19:26.360 -> 19:27.960] learned like ever.
[19:27.960 -> 19:31.400] Yeah, and also the importance of watching the pre-race.
[19:31.400 -> 19:32.400] Definitely.
[19:32.400 -> 19:37.120] Because they, F1 know now that there's a lot of new fans, so I've noticed that they kind
[19:37.120 -> 19:41.400] of go into a bit more detail in explaining stuff because they know that there's people
[19:41.400 -> 19:42.400] who are not going to understand.
[19:42.400 -> 19:47.880] I love the way Brundle did that earlier when you were just about to Google, what was that thing? It was about the tyres deteriorating,
[19:47.880 -> 19:48.880] but it was called a certain...
[19:48.880 -> 19:49.760] Degradation.
[19:49.760 -> 19:51.760] That's it. And he said it and then he explained what it was.
[19:51.760 -> 19:52.960] And I like that.
[19:52.960 -> 19:54.640] I like the way they're...
[19:54.640 -> 19:56.920] Yeah, they know, which is great.
[19:56.920 -> 19:58.800] Yeah, because I had no idea what he meant.
[19:58.800 -> 20:00.040] Absolutely no idea what he meant.
[20:00.040 -> 20:01.400] I'm glad we learned about flat spots,
[20:01.400 -> 20:03.640] because I've always wondered when they go around that corner,
[20:03.640 -> 20:05.640] locking up, what locking up actually meant
[20:05.640 -> 20:07.680] And today I've even though it sounds really obvious
[20:08.100 -> 20:12.200] Now I know that it is one will just doesn't go and they get a flat spot on it
[20:12.200 -> 20:16.800] And that's what the smoke is. That must be really bad for the tyres. That was a massive spin out at the beginning
[20:16.800 -> 20:21.600] Wow, so there you go. This is why the repeats are amazing. I completely forgot about that.
[20:21.600 -> 20:23.600] Schumacher's 360 was unbelievable by the way.
[20:23.600 -> 20:25.600] How did he save that? It was crazy.
[20:25.600 -> 20:27.440] I thought that would have been him out.
[20:27.440 -> 20:29.280] I want Schumacher to get in that points.
[20:29.280 -> 20:32.560] Haas and my constructor on F1 Fancy.
[20:32.560 -> 20:35.280] So if Schumacher starts getting some points
[20:35.280 -> 20:38.200] and Magnussen keeps doing what he's doing,
[20:38.200 -> 20:40.920] it's gonna be unbelievable.
[20:40.920 -> 20:41.920] It certainly is.
[20:41.920 -> 20:46.160] And let's also briefly talk about the GOAT because we haven't really spoken
[20:46.160 -> 20:50.280] about him much. I called probably about four people, the four different people GOATs now
[20:50.280 -> 20:52.280] but Lewis Hamilton, what a drive.
[20:52.280 -> 20:56.600] What a drive. The car's not ready, it's very clear it's not ready, the team were trying
[20:56.600 -> 21:00.720] different strategies, probably didn't go to plan for them today but what a drive. To go
[21:00.720 -> 21:11.160] and finish third and Russell coming fourth, it's unbelievable. You can't hate Lewis Hamilton. No, no, no, no. And also to see how happy he was for the Ferrari boys
[21:11.160 -> 21:16.440] on the podium. I love that. He was full support. They deserve to be there. Do you know what
[21:16.440 -> 21:21.000] I mean? So fair enough. It's absolutely amazing when the whole top of the grid knows that
[21:21.000 -> 21:24.000] it's a battle. I think that's how it is at the beginning of the season. When it's like,
[21:24.000 -> 21:27.480] it's obviously serious, but it's not, you know, life or death at
[21:27.480 -> 21:30.680] the moment, there's plenty more races as it gets towards the end. That's why I'm
[21:30.680 -> 21:33.960] sure it will become a lot more intense throughout the season. But the love
[21:33.960 -> 21:37.640] between the drivers and the teams is fantastic. I can't believe that
[21:37.640 -> 21:40.520] Hamilton managed to save that. At one point I thought they were just dropping
[21:40.520 -> 21:42.960] back through the field, dropping back through the field. I remember saying to
[21:42.960 -> 21:47.560] you, like 1-2-3 is gone. the gap there is now just for a points battle.
[21:47.560 -> 21:49.440] But it just shows anything can happen.
[21:49.440 -> 21:50.480] Anything can happen.
[21:50.480 -> 21:51.480] I can't believe that,
[21:51.480 -> 21:53.680] just watching both Red Bulls drop out the race.
[21:53.680 -> 21:56.120] I know, you've got your little standings list up there.
[21:56.120 -> 21:57.120] Where did Zoe come again?
[21:57.120 -> 21:58.680] Was it 10th?
[21:58.680 -> 21:59.520] I think Zoe just about made it.
[21:59.520 -> 22:00.640] He had a great race by the way, didn't he?
[22:00.640 -> 22:02.160] We were loving watching him battle with,
[22:02.160 -> 22:04.160] he battled with Hamilton, he was battling with Bottas.
[22:04.160 -> 22:05.520] He was having a really good race.
[22:05.520 -> 22:08.360] And he wasn't being dirty or playing bad.
[22:08.360 -> 22:11.040] He finished 10th, so he got points in his rookie debut.
[22:11.040 -> 22:11.960] Fair enough to him.
[22:11.960 -> 22:12.840] Unbelievable drive.
[22:12.840 -> 22:14.240] I like the guy, I do.
[22:14.240 -> 22:16.800] I think he did an amazing job in the Alfa Romeo,
[22:16.800 -> 22:18.720] but maybe that shows the Alfa Romeo,
[22:18.720 -> 22:20.440] I wonder if that's a Ferrari engine.
[22:20.440 -> 22:21.280] It is.
[22:21.280 -> 22:22.120] Or is it?
[22:22.120 -> 22:22.960] They had a great day then.
[22:22.960 -> 22:24.400] But it shows, it shows, doesn't it?
[22:24.400 -> 22:27.620] Haas, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, all in the points.
[22:27.620 -> 22:30.040] It shows, I don't know what they've done,
[22:30.040 -> 22:32.800] but Ferrari have come up with a fucking monstrous engine
[22:32.800 -> 22:33.880] by the looks of things.
[22:33.880 -> 22:35.780] I know Aston Martin were very unlucky today
[22:35.780 -> 22:38.600] to not have Vettel, and I can't wait to see Vettel back
[22:38.600 -> 22:40.640] just because we love Vettel.
[22:40.640 -> 22:42.760] But it doesn't look good for Aston Martin off that start
[22:42.760 -> 22:44.760] because they put a lot of money in this shit.
[22:44.760 -> 22:48.200] They really, really spent a lot of money to develop that team.
[22:48.200 -> 22:50.600] They really wanted to push Aston Martin to the next level.
[22:50.600 -> 22:55.300] Well, I'll be honest, I don't really know a lot about Hulkenberg, so I can't really comment on him.
[22:55.300 -> 22:56.900] No. What do you think about Stroll?
[22:56.900 -> 22:58.900] Nothing to say really.
[22:58.900 -> 23:01.600] I mean, not Vettel, is it? You need Vettel in that team.
[23:01.600 -> 23:04.600] Yeah, I haven't seen Stroll do much.
[23:04.600 -> 23:06.120] Not that I've watched much, but I haven't seen Stroll do much. Not that I've watched much,
[23:06.120 -> 23:07.760] but I haven't seen him do too much.
[23:07.760 -> 23:11.280] Maybe there's room for him later in the season to shine,
[23:11.280 -> 23:13.160] but I just don't see it happening.
[23:13.160 -> 23:14.080] We just haven't seen it.
[23:14.080 -> 23:16.440] He might be amazing and you guys are thinking he's amazing,
[23:16.440 -> 23:17.680] but we just haven't seen it.
[23:17.680 -> 23:19.520] Amazing day for Alpine as well.
[23:19.520 -> 23:21.280] Alonso in the points.
[23:21.280 -> 23:22.200] I was just about to say.
[23:22.200 -> 23:23.800] Ninth, Ocon seventh.
[23:23.800 -> 23:25.120] Brilliant day for Alpine.
[23:25.120 -> 23:25.960] Great day.
[23:25.960 -> 23:27.720] I saw them kind of battling with each other a little bit too,
[23:27.720 -> 23:28.680] which was cool.
[23:28.680 -> 23:30.840] Yeah, it's been a great day for so many teams.
[23:30.840 -> 23:32.700] The Williams don't look great.
[23:32.700 -> 23:36.720] It's always, just going back to Alonso,
[23:36.720 -> 23:38.760] I always love watching him race.
[23:38.760 -> 23:42.000] Yeah, because he's like the old ball now.
[23:42.000 -> 23:42.820] Do you know what I mean?
[23:42.820 -> 23:45.500] Like he doesn't really need to be racing anymore.
[23:45.500 -> 23:48.420] He's got money, he's won world championships.
[23:48.420 -> 23:49.260] He doesn't need to do it.
[23:49.260 -> 23:50.500] Do you feel like he just loves it?
[23:50.500 -> 23:52.980] He absolutely lives and breathes it.
[23:52.980 -> 23:53.820] Does he?
[23:53.820 -> 23:55.780] And he doesn't need to win.
[23:55.780 -> 23:57.100] If he won, amazing.
[23:57.100 -> 23:59.260] And obviously he's still gonna compete for it.
[23:59.260 -> 24:01.380] But just to see, like when you see Alonso
[24:01.380 -> 24:03.220] chipping down that straight.
[24:03.220 -> 24:04.380] And he just goes for someone.
[24:04.380 -> 24:10.480] You just think, he's just loving this. Yeah. loving this and I just love watching that. It was amazing racing
[24:10.480 -> 24:14.720] today, I love some of the wheel-to-wheel action, I think the new regulations look good, it's hard
[24:14.720 -> 24:19.680] to tell from race one but I really did like how close together they were getting around the corners
[24:20.400 -> 24:24.640] and the DRS seemed to work well, I think that showed in the Leclerc-Verstappen battle, it was
[24:24.640 -> 24:27.240] so easy for them just to jump in someone's DRS,
[24:27.240 -> 24:28.320] jump in someone's DRS.
[24:28.320 -> 24:30.280] For that, we said to each other at that point,
[24:30.280 -> 24:31.480] we're going to get just 10 laps.
[24:31.480 -> 24:32.440] After that safety car,
[24:32.440 -> 24:35.000] if them jumping in and out of each other's DRS.
[24:35.000 -> 24:36.820] And Leclerc was just too quick.
[24:36.820 -> 24:38.100] You've got to give full credit to Ferrari.
[24:38.100 -> 24:40.840] They were on the day-to-day, they were the best team.
[24:40.840 -> 24:41.680] Absolutely.
[24:41.680 -> 24:43.020] They had the best cars, they had the best drivers,
[24:43.020 -> 24:44.460] and they absolutely deserved to win.
[24:44.460 -> 24:46.000] They dominated from start to finish
[24:46.000 -> 24:48.480] with qualifying to today and practice.
[24:48.480 -> 24:51.240] They've just looked amazing all season up until now.
[24:51.240 -> 24:53.520] And I think Ferrari fans should be really excited
[24:53.520 -> 24:56.200] because they look like you've got a real team
[24:56.200 -> 24:57.040] on your hands here.
[24:57.040 -> 25:00.960] Yeah, yeah, hopefully the boys are reunited again
[25:00.960 -> 25:01.800] as a family.
[25:01.800 -> 25:02.640] The boys are back in town.
[25:02.640 -> 25:03.800] The boys are back in town.
[25:03.800 -> 25:05.400] Yes, they certainly are.
[25:06.640 -> 25:07.680] Who got fastest lap today?
[25:07.680 -> 25:09.440] I think it was Carlos Sainz, wasn't it?
[25:09.440 -> 25:10.280] Was it?
[25:10.280 -> 25:11.120] I think Carlos Sainz got fastest lap today.
[25:11.120 -> 25:11.940] Don't know.
[25:11.940 -> 25:13.440] Leclerc got driver of the day.
[25:13.440 -> 25:14.280] Did he?
[25:14.280 -> 25:16.640] It could have been Magnussen, to be honest with you,
[25:16.640 -> 25:18.080] but I'm pretty sure Leclerc got driver of the day.
[25:18.080 -> 25:20.760] Yeah, Leclerc did get driver of the day.
[25:20.760 -> 25:22.160] For me, it would have been Magnussen.
[25:22.160 -> 25:23.860] I think fifth and a half is more impressive
[25:23.860 -> 25:24.880] than first in a Ferrari,
[25:24.880 -> 25:27.520] but first in a Ferrari is still unbelievable.
[25:27.520 -> 25:28.360] Yep.
[25:28.360 -> 25:29.720] They haven't been up there in a while.
[25:29.720 -> 25:31.400] That's his third win, I think,
[25:31.400 -> 25:33.880] in Leclerc's career in 88 races.
[25:33.880 -> 25:35.360] I think there's going to be a lot more wins
[25:35.360 -> 25:37.960] and a lot more podiums for the Ferrari boys this season
[25:37.960 -> 25:40.360] without a doubt.
[25:40.360 -> 25:42.000] It's going to be interesting to see
[25:42.000 -> 25:45.520] what Alfa Romeo can do, because I don't know. I don't think Bottas is the kind of guy to be interesting to see what Alfa Romeo can do because I don't know, I don't
[25:45.520 -> 25:51.200] think Bottas is the kind of guy to really want to fight Lewis because there's a rivalry
[25:51.200 -> 25:52.800] there, but there could be something.
[25:52.800 -> 25:56.440] Where do you think Alfa Romeo's battle is?
[25:56.440 -> 25:59.920] Do you think their battle, looking at today's grid, if it was to go like that every week,
[25:59.920 -> 26:02.440] do you feel like their battle is probably with Alpine?
[26:02.440 -> 26:04.820] No, honestly I don't.
[26:04.820 -> 26:09.240] I think with that engine, they're gonna be fine.
[26:09.240 -> 26:10.240] I think they're gonna be fine.
[26:10.240 -> 26:12.240] I don't know, man.
[26:12.240 -> 26:13.080] Where's the stats?
[26:13.080 -> 26:13.900] Show me the stats.
[26:13.900 -> 26:14.840] It's gonna be interesting to see Alvatore
[26:14.840 -> 26:16.880] because we didn't really get to see a lot from him today.
[26:16.880 -> 26:18.540] It was a shame.
[26:18.540 -> 26:20.560] Yeah, it is a shame.
[26:20.560 -> 26:24.040] But again, they're running the,
[26:24.040 -> 26:26.220] is it the Honda engine that Red Bull were using?
[26:26.220 -> 26:27.060] Yeah, Red Bull are on Honda.
[26:27.060 -> 26:27.980] Is it Honda?
[26:27.980 -> 26:29.540] Yeah, Red Bull are on Honda.
[26:29.540 -> 26:30.900] Yeah.
[26:30.900 -> 26:33.620] And don't get me wrong, Red Bull look quick today.
[26:33.620 -> 26:35.600] You can't take anything away from Red Bull's performance.
[26:35.600 -> 26:37.420] They would have been really happy with the position
[26:37.420 -> 26:38.940] and they finished it.
[26:38.940 -> 26:39.820] But it's just gotten,
[26:39.820 -> 26:42.580] there was a technical error at the end.
[26:42.580 -> 26:44.600] Pit stops weren't as quick as we've seen them.
[26:44.600 -> 26:46.320] I wanted to see a Red Bull 1.8,
[26:46.320 -> 26:48.520] but we didn't get to see a Red Bull 1.8.
[26:48.520 -> 26:50.280] There's limitations on it now.
[26:50.280 -> 26:52.080] It has to be over two seconds.
[26:52.080 -> 26:53.200] What? Yeah.
[26:53.200 -> 26:54.280] Why?
[26:54.280 -> 26:55.960] Because it's just new regulations.
[26:55.960 -> 26:57.080] How do I not know this shit?
[26:57.080 -> 26:58.480] I have a pit stop podcast.
[26:58.480 -> 27:00.080] I must have told you about three times.
[27:00.080 -> 27:03.360] But do you know what?
[27:03.360 -> 27:07.760] It is really cool to see, because I think when you change the cars
[27:07.760 -> 27:13.040] this much, I mean, you really don't know how it's going to go. You can put cars on a track,
[27:13.040 -> 27:19.680] you can put them through practice qualifying, but until you've got 20 cars racing against
[27:19.680 -> 27:22.800] each other, you don't know how the cars are going to perform. And considering that they've
[27:22.800 -> 27:30.240] changed so much, I feel like it was a little bit of a shot in the dark by the F1 to even know if this was going to
[27:30.240 -> 27:36.000] work but clearly today it's gone to plan and the changes they've made to the cars have worked and
[27:36.000 -> 27:39.760] they're moving forward towards where they want to be. I definitely think it looks like they're
[27:39.760 -> 27:45.940] moving in the right direction closer to closer racing is all you really want. Remove dirt, yeah, and then you get the best race.
[27:45.940 -> 27:48.340] Do the F2 cars have the same regulations?
[27:49.340 -> 27:50.620] Pass, I don't know.
[27:50.620 -> 27:51.900] Cause I just thought it was funny earlier
[27:51.900 -> 27:54.220] when the wheel come flying off in the pits in the F2 race.
[27:54.220 -> 27:55.580] Yeah, they can't, they can't be, can they?
[27:55.580 -> 27:57.900] They haven't got the wheel caps like these ones do.
[27:57.900 -> 27:58.740] Do they not?
[27:58.740 -> 28:00.580] Maybe they haven't changed them.
[28:00.580 -> 28:02.300] I wonder what is wrong with that McLaren.
[28:02.300 -> 28:04.620] I can't wait to just find out a bit more this week.
[28:04.620 -> 28:06.100] Do as much information as we can
[28:06.100 -> 28:08.840] and update you on Thursday for the pre-race episode.
[28:08.840 -> 28:10.660] Cause obviously there's stuff we don't know right now.
[28:10.660 -> 28:12.020] It hasn't come out yet,
[28:12.020 -> 28:13.760] but I can't wait to find out what's, you know,
[28:13.760 -> 28:15.020] what's they're going to be developing,
[28:15.020 -> 28:15.980] what they're going to be working on.
[28:15.980 -> 28:17.440] And to watch the practice,
[28:17.440 -> 28:20.500] me and Fab actually tried to get tickets for the,
[28:20.500 -> 28:21.320] this Grand Prix.
[28:21.320 -> 28:23.220] We looked at flights, we looked at everything.
[28:23.220 -> 28:24.060] Yeah, we did.
[28:24.060 -> 28:26.300] And Fab was like, come on, let's fly out to Bahrain.
[28:26.300 -> 28:30.200] I was like, mate, if we fly to Bahrain now, we're going to land like Saturday night,
[28:30.200 -> 28:31.100] we're going to misqualify.
[28:31.100 -> 28:32.700] Yeah, it was literally the day before qualifiers.
[28:32.700 -> 28:36.200] I was like, what's the point in going all the way there just to watch a Sunday race?
[28:36.200 -> 28:39.600] We sat on the balcony at like 1am last night because we'd just been working all night.
[28:39.600 -> 28:42.300] And I'm looking at you, I'm like, Jake, let's just do it.
[28:42.300 -> 28:43.100] Let's just go.
[28:43.100 -> 28:43.900] Let's just drop everything.
[28:43.900 -> 28:45.880] We've looked at flights to every single Grand Prix,
[28:45.880 -> 28:48.280] but we just can't figure out where to buy tickets.
[28:48.280 -> 28:49.400] Cause most of them are sold out.
[28:49.400 -> 28:50.480] It says it's tickets for sale.
[28:50.480 -> 28:52.000] Go on the website and there's nothing.
[28:52.000 -> 28:53.880] The only ones I can find are the beach tickets
[28:53.880 -> 28:54.800] to the French Grand Prix.
[28:54.800 -> 28:56.760] So who knows, we might be going to the beach
[28:56.760 -> 28:57.800] at the French Grand Prix,
[28:57.800 -> 28:59.240] cause it's the only place we can get.
[28:59.240 -> 29:01.880] I think all the races like this half of the year
[29:01.880 -> 29:03.280] are probably going to be quite far away.
[29:03.280 -> 29:04.560] Cause like, cause of the seasons,
[29:04.560 -> 29:06.080] they want to keep the track dry. But come like July,, probably going to be quite far away because of the seasons, they want to keep the track dry.
[29:06.080 -> 29:09.000] But come like July, everything's going to be in Europe.
[29:09.000 -> 29:10.240] So it's a drive away, mate.
[29:10.240 -> 29:12.040] We'll be able to drive there.
[29:12.040 -> 29:12.880] I can't wait.
[29:12.880 -> 29:13.700] It'd be awesome.
[29:13.700 -> 29:16.880] How cool would it be to just film a whole like tour
[29:16.880 -> 29:20.120] through Europe, going to each of the races?
[29:20.120 -> 29:20.960] It'd be awesome.
[29:20.960 -> 29:21.780] That's the plan.
[29:21.780 -> 29:22.620] We want to take this on the road.
[29:22.620 -> 29:26.480] Like we want way more than this, just being a podcast.
[29:26.480 -> 29:28.800] For us, this is like a show.
[29:28.800 -> 29:31.840] We want to share everything we do with vlogs
[29:31.840 -> 29:32.680] and everything like that.
[29:32.680 -> 29:34.240] Our YouTube channel is live.
[29:34.240 -> 29:35.720] I don't know if I've told you that.
[29:35.720 -> 29:37.720] We have one cut down video on there.
[29:37.720 -> 29:39.240] You can search at Pit Stop,
[29:39.240 -> 29:41.560] or you can click the link on our Instagram or TikTok bio
[29:41.560 -> 29:43.320] and watch it on YouTube there.
[29:43.320 -> 29:44.880] But we want to be doing all sorts of content
[29:44.880 -> 29:45.960] because we're loving this.
[29:45.960 -> 29:49.000] And we will be, which is really exciting for the listeners.
[29:49.000 -> 29:51.880] Just know that the podcast is just the start.
[29:51.880 -> 29:53.960] And obviously we're going to continue with the podcast
[29:53.960 -> 29:55.000] because we love doing it.
[29:55.000 -> 29:55.840] Yeah, it's fun.
[29:55.840 -> 29:58.360] We love reporting on the races, but this is just-
[29:58.360 -> 30:00.400] The podcast really helps us learn as well
[30:00.400 -> 30:03.200] because we have like a reason to have to sit down
[30:03.200 -> 30:05.180] and we love it and we get to sit down
[30:05.180 -> 30:06.980] and talk about it together.
[30:06.980 -> 30:08.760] And that even brings me back to what you said
[30:08.760 -> 30:10.500] at the very beginning of this race today.
[30:10.500 -> 30:12.500] You know when you said Leclerc's tires
[30:12.500 -> 30:15.020] look so much better than Verstappen's.
[30:15.020 -> 30:18.260] He had, Leclerc had new ones on and Verstappen didn't.
[30:18.260 -> 30:20.420] Maybe that made all the difference
[30:20.420 -> 30:22.060] because at the beginning he got straight away
[30:22.060 -> 30:24.020] and had the extra laps in his tires.
[30:24.020 -> 30:25.800] Why did they have different tyres on?
[30:25.800 -> 30:28.480] Do you have to use the tyres you qualified in or something?
[30:28.480 -> 30:32.280] Well that's what I originally thought but I think they've changed it for this year.
[30:32.280 -> 30:35.640] I thought you had to use the tyres you got your quickest lap in but we'll have to research
[30:35.640 -> 30:37.800] that and come back to you next race.
[30:37.800 -> 30:40.320] Feel free to DM us if you know the correct answer.
[30:40.320 -> 30:42.520] Just fill us in on exactly how the tyres work.
[30:42.520 -> 30:46.480] What I think, I'm going to make an assumption here and hopefully someone can put me right if I'm wrong.
[30:46.480 -> 30:50.320] But what I think it is, is throughout qualifying and race day,
[30:50.320 -> 30:52.240] you only have a certain amount of each tyre.
[30:52.240 -> 30:54.720] So let's say you only get five softs.
[30:54.720 -> 30:58.480] So maybe they'll burn through two sets of softs in the qualis,
[30:58.480 -> 31:00.960] and they got three sets for the race.
[31:00.960 -> 31:03.320] But maybe Leclerc,
[31:03.320 -> 31:07.600] maybe Verstappen burnt through three sets in qualifying,
[31:07.600 -> 31:10.800] so he used his third pair at the start of the race,
[31:10.800 -> 31:12.840] whereas maybe Leclerc only used two.
[31:12.840 -> 31:14.320] True, and they keep the rest of the softs
[31:14.320 -> 31:16.000] when they come in for the pit stops throughout the race.
[31:16.000 -> 31:17.480] Could be completely wrong, as you know.
[31:17.480 -> 31:19.720] No, I reckon that sounds right, I reckon that was good.
[31:19.720 -> 31:20.640] I think that might be it.
[31:20.640 -> 31:21.640] I reckon that was good.
[31:21.640 -> 31:22.460] Thank you.
[31:22.460 -> 31:24.780] You'll have to let us know, but I do think that was good.
[31:24.780 -> 31:28.640] But there we go, that is the end of race week one. We hope you loved our
