[00:55.560 -> 00:56.560] Welcome back to the Pit Stop Podcast. Alonzo!
[00:56.560 -> 00:57.560] Alonzo!
[00:57.560 -> 01:11.880] Alonso! Alonso! Alonso, my boy, the king, the man,
[01:11.880 -> 01:17.280] the myth, the legend. Well, we are filming this clip before the race. This is after qualifying
[01:17.280 -> 01:22.520] review. The race starts in a couple of hours. How are you feeling? I'm feeling elated, over
[01:22.520 -> 01:27.720] the moon, starstruck. Not just for Alonso though, Mick? Mick, done bits.
[01:27.720 -> 01:30.600] Haas, 5th and 6th on the grid. Really great qualifying.
[01:30.600 -> 01:34.400] 5th and 6th. 5th and 6th. A really interesting qualifying.
[01:34.400 -> 01:37.480] Yeah, it was amazing and Leclerc's back of the grid, how do you think Leclerc's going
[01:37.480 -> 01:40.200] to do? That's one of the things that I'm most excited
[01:40.200 -> 01:44.640] for is to see how well he can do from the back to get to the front. He could do a Lewis
[01:44.640 -> 01:47.000] Hamilton and just absolutely breeze it.
[01:47.000 -> 01:48.000] Just like Brazil.
[01:48.000 -> 01:48.500] Yeah yeah.
[01:48.500 -> 01:53.720] Alonso has said that he is going to go into that first corner and fight Verstappen.
[01:53.720 -> 01:54.720] Attack mode.
[01:54.720 -> 01:56.220] What do you think is going to happen?
[01:56.220 -> 02:01.200] I think he has to do it then. There is no other time because the Red Bull is
[02:01.200 -> 02:11.040] obviously going to pull away from the Alpine so if there's any chance of him smashing him up, DNS, see you later for Staphan, Alonso, because he's
[02:11.040 -> 02:12.800] a cheeky little, do you know what I mean, cheeky monkey.
[02:12.800 -> 02:17.320] One question for you though, can Alonso win the race?
[02:17.320 -> 02:18.320] Yes.
[02:18.320 -> 02:19.960] Will he be on the podium?
[02:19.960 -> 02:20.960] Yes.
[02:20.960 -> 02:21.960] Definitely.
[02:21.960 -> 02:22.960] It's my prediction.
[02:22.960 -> 02:24.920] I told you, it was only a matter of time.
[02:24.920 -> 02:25.920] And a quick reminder
[02:25.920 -> 02:30.840] I did say at the beginning of the season that if mix you Macca gets any points this season
[02:30.840 -> 02:34.360] I will get a tattoo of make shoe Maka. So he's
[02:35.600 -> 02:37.960] Pretty good. It's looking pretty likely
[02:38.520 -> 02:41.800] We've just been discussing like whereabouts on your body. You should get it
[02:41.800 -> 02:43.400] Yeah, you want me to get a massive one on my back?
[02:43.400 -> 02:47.280] It'll probably be on the back of my ankle. Full-size portrait on your-
[02:47.280 -> 02:49.160] If he wins the race, okay, no.
[02:49.160 -> 02:52.840] If Mick is on the podium, it will be bigger.
[02:53.760 -> 02:54.760] How big are we talking?
[02:54.760 -> 02:55.600] Just bigger, that's it.
[02:55.600 -> 02:56.480] Like A4 size.
[02:56.480 -> 02:58.080] You've seen the size of the minion on my leg,
[02:58.080 -> 02:59.680] like even that would be big enough.
[02:59.680 -> 03:01.000] Maybe you should get like,
[03:01.000 -> 03:03.560] you know when you get those sick posters made up,
[03:03.560 -> 03:07.600] where like, you get like a Formula One poster and it's like the car in front yeah the driver behind the whole
[03:07.600 -> 03:12.720] design on my back i'm not doing that i'm not doing that yeah start in order of the stappen
[03:12.720 -> 03:19.600] first alonzo second carlos signs third lewis hamilton fourth magnuson fifth schumacher
[03:19.600 -> 03:26.680] sixth ocon seventh russell eighth riccardoardo ninth and Joe in tenth qualifying ahead of his teammate for Alfa Romeo
[03:26.760 -> 03:32.000] It's gonna be an amazing race. The wet qualifying was sick. Is it due to rain during the race?
[03:32.000 -> 03:36.420] No, it's gonna be dry today. Really? But I just think this is gonna be one of the best races the whole grid
[03:36.420 -> 03:40.140] Look at the lineup man. It's so different. I wish it was raining to an extent
[03:40.140 -> 03:45.380] Yeah, I think that's when you see Alonso at his finest. Do you reckon? All those years of graft.
[03:45.380 -> 03:47.880] Didn't work for Vettel though, he had a bad qualifying yesterday.
[03:47.880 -> 03:48.680] He did indeed.
[03:48.680 -> 03:51.680] But Hamilton's in fourth. Could the big dog come through today?
[03:51.680 -> 03:52.880] I'd like to see something.
[03:52.880 -> 03:53.980] Do you know what I'd like to see?
[03:53.980 -> 03:58.380] Alonso first, Hamilton second, and the Red Bulls nowhere near the top.
[03:58.380 -> 04:01.180] After qualifying, predict your podium now before the race.
[04:01.180 -> 04:03.680] Okay, this is what I think is going to happen in today's race.
[04:03.680 -> 04:07.080] I genuinely think Verstappen is going to DNF today. I actually do think Alonso wins the race. Okay, this is what I think is gonna happen in today's race. I genuinely think Verstappen is gonna DNF today.
[04:07.080 -> 04:11.240] I actually do think Alonso wins the race.
[04:11.240 -> 04:13.040] I actually have a feeling Alonso is gonna-
[04:13.040 -> 04:15.080] See all this, all this shit that you've been giving me
[04:15.080 -> 04:16.960] over Alonso and now you're changing your tune
[04:16.960 -> 04:18.800] as soon as he qualifies second.
[04:18.800 -> 04:20.560] I'm team Alonso today, man.
[04:20.560 -> 04:22.160] I'm team Haas as well.
[04:22.160 -> 04:24.440] But I think, yeah, Verstappen's gonna DNF today.
[04:24.440 -> 04:29.900] That would be nice. I don't know why, I've just got a feeling. Safely? Yeah, safely or obviously. Engine blows up or something like that.
[04:29.900 -> 04:33.040] Yeah, I reckon there's two people that can win the race today
[04:34.180 -> 04:36.180] Alonso or Leclerc
[04:38.100 -> 04:41.600] Yeah, yeah, really yeah really. Hamilton did it
[04:42.860 -> 04:45.000] Okay, all right Christopher Columbus discovered America.
[04:45.000 -> 04:46.000] You think you could do the same?
[04:46.000 -> 04:47.000] Did he?
[04:47.000 -> 04:48.000] I don't know.
[04:48.000 -> 04:49.000] Don't quote me on that.
[04:49.000 -> 04:50.000] I don't know.
[04:50.000 -> 04:51.000] History's bad.
[04:51.000 -> 04:52.000] We'll be back after the race.
[04:52.000 -> 04:53.000] Enjoy the Grand Prix.
[04:53.000 -> 04:54.000] Wait, my prediction.
[04:54.000 -> 04:55.000] Oh, yeah.
[04:55.000 -> 04:56.000] Sorry.
[04:56.000 -> 04:57.000] Go.
[04:57.000 -> 05:04.080] My prediction is that Russell first, Hamilton second, Alonso third.
[05:04.080 -> 05:05.440] That would be a dream podium.
[05:05.440 -> 05:06.680] Alonso doesn't need to win for me,
[05:06.680 -> 05:07.800] he just needs to make the podium.
[05:07.800 -> 05:10.200] If he wins, I'll run down the street naked.
[05:10.200 -> 05:11.040] But if he comes-
[05:11.040 -> 05:13.000] If Alonso wins the race, you run down the street naked?
[05:13.000 -> 05:14.000] Yep.
[05:14.000 -> 05:16.200] Oh, snap!
[05:16.200 -> 05:18.040] It's gonna be a good one!
[05:18.040 -> 05:20.440] We'll be back after the Grand Prix.
[05:20.440 -> 05:22.240] I cannot wait for this one.
[05:22.240 -> 05:23.080] Here we go.
[05:23.080 -> 05:28.600] ♪♪♪ I cannot wait for this one. Here we go
[05:35.020 -> 05:35.200] Well, there we have it the Canadian Grand Prix is over Max Verstappen has won once again
[05:38.160 -> 05:38.440] What happened to Alonso?
[05:46.100 -> 05:47.720] Max Verstappen first, Sainz second, very close, Hamilton third, which was nice to see. Alonso's what, down in fifth? Not great, is it?
[05:47.720 -> 05:50.720] It's not great, but I do believe that's what he said
[05:50.720 -> 05:52.440] at the beginning of the race he'd be fighting for.
[05:52.440 -> 05:53.660] He came seventh.
[05:53.660 -> 05:54.500] Seventh?
[05:54.500 -> 05:56.360] Yeah, Ocon finished ahead of him.
[05:56.360 -> 05:57.200] Really?
[05:57.200 -> 05:58.540] Yeah, it didn't go to plan.
[05:58.540 -> 05:59.920] He lost all speed.
[05:59.920 -> 06:01.600] I think he had something wrong with his engine at the end
[06:01.600 -> 06:03.440] and he was going really slow, holding position.
[06:03.440 -> 06:07.680] Mate, I was watching him and Leclerc and to be honest with you it didn't seem like they had
[06:07.680 -> 06:13.280] that rear end grip that they needed. Like, both of them were sliding all over the place for quite
[06:13.280 -> 06:19.680] a lot of it until they changed tyres so it's tough man. He did really well to qualify in second and
[06:19.680 -> 06:24.640] again seventh isn't bad for the Alpines but I was expecting a bit more from him. He just didn't,
[06:24.640 -> 06:29.200] yeah you've been bickering about if he said he's the best driver on the grid, was it just solely the car wasn't quick enough?
[06:29.880 -> 06:30.680] Yeah.
[06:30.680 -> 06:34.800] Yeah? So that's the only excuse. He was amazing, but the car wasn't quick enough. If he was in...
[06:35.680 -> 06:40.800] any of the other cars on the grid, if he was in the Red Bull in second against Verstappen, would he have won then?
[06:40.800 -> 06:43.600] Chuck Alonso in a Ferrari. Put Alonso-
[06:43.600 -> 06:45.280] You might as well put him in the fastest car. Put Alon- nah, don't need to. Put Alonso in a Ferrari. Put Alonso in- You might as well put him in the fastest car.
[06:45.280 -> 06:48.640] Nah, don't need to. Put Alonso in Sainz's position.
[06:48.640 -> 06:49.680] You reckon- oh.
[06:49.680 -> 06:55.280] And he would- I guarantee he would have got Verstappen in those last few laps.
[06:55.280 -> 06:55.920] That's bold.
[06:56.640 -> 06:57.680] Mate, I believe it.
[06:58.320 -> 06:59.520] Well, not only that.
[07:00.640 -> 07:05.720] I feel like it is a good time to announce. I think we did it
[07:05.720 -> 07:06.720] I think
[07:06.720 -> 07:14.120] Nicholas Latifi was driver of the day because they didn't announce a driver of the day on the show and apparently the only other time
[07:14.120 -> 07:18.560] They haven't done that is where Mazepin won it. They're not announced it now. They haven't announced anything
[07:19.080 -> 07:21.080] Which means we did it
[07:21.200 -> 07:24.680] Nicholas Latifi must have been driver of the day
[07:29.000 -> 07:34.520] Let's go! Absolutely insane! Realistically it was Leclerc. I mean, back of the grid. Oh man. Absolutely smashed it.
[07:34.520 -> 07:37.880] Beautiful performance. Again, this goes back, I wish they would have just had some better
[07:37.880 -> 07:42.480] grip on those tyres on the rear end before and I think he could have made the podium
[07:42.480 -> 07:46.800] had he had that. When we watched him behind Ocon for a long, long time,
[07:46.800 -> 07:48.240] couldn't get past him.
[07:48.240 -> 07:50.480] Well, he had to get his positioning back up.
[07:50.480 -> 07:52.400] You got to remember, he flew all the way up the grid
[07:52.400 -> 07:54.600] and then he had that terrible pit stop.
[07:54.600 -> 07:56.120] He had that terrible pit stop.
[07:56.120 -> 07:57.640] It took him absolutely ages.
[07:57.640 -> 07:59.080] He came out 12th.
[07:59.080 -> 08:00.920] He then had to build his way all the way back up the grid.
[08:00.920 -> 08:02.520] Not as bad as Latifi's pit stop though.
[08:02.520 -> 08:04.360] Yeah, but that's the driver of the day, right?
[08:04.360 -> 08:06.000] He's gotta be nice to Latifi. No, yeah, Leclerc. Yeah, but that's the driver of the day right there, he's gotta be nice to Latifi.
[08:06.000 -> 08:12.000] No yeah, Leclerc had an amazing race, definitely the driver of the day and definitely showed how good he was.
[08:12.000 -> 08:15.000] But let's just quickly talk about that last 15 laps.
[08:15.000 -> 08:18.000] I really thought Sainz had got him.
[08:18.000 -> 08:28.600] I feel like what we saw today is a prime example of what they've been trying to achieve this year. I mean, we were, I remember turning to you and saying we were like 40 laps in and I was
[08:28.600 -> 08:33.800] saying like, it's so nice to see like a pack of like four cars in the middle still going
[08:33.800 -> 08:34.800] for it.
[08:34.800 -> 08:37.420] You've still got two or three out front, they're still going for it.
[08:37.420 -> 08:41.200] The closer racing is clearly what they were going for and it's paid off, man.
[08:41.200 -> 08:43.200] There's just always a battle going on in there.
[08:43.200 -> 08:47.120] But you're not getting like halfway or three quarters of the way through the race and just seeing one bloke out front
[08:47.120 -> 08:52.400] the whole time now. Yeah no definitely it does make it way more exciting. 15 laps though Sainz
[08:52.400 -> 08:58.880] couldn't quite get to Verstappen. The Red Bull was definitely quicker but as that safety car went in
[08:58.880 -> 09:04.800] and Verstappen pulled away, Verstappen just shows because he was on older tyres. Sainz had the
[09:04.800 -> 09:08.180] advantage in that scenario because you know they were riding the kerbs he was
[09:08.180 -> 09:12.760] on older tires the Ferrari rides the kerbs well and Verstappen...
[09:12.760 -> 09:17.800] Quote from the TV. Yeah well you know I just know...
[09:17.800 -> 09:21.180] But yeah Verstappen's on older tires and still manages to stay ahead of the
[09:21.180 -> 09:24.900] person chasing him even though the person chasing him has the advantage.
[09:24.900 -> 09:26.320] Do you know what I mean?
[09:26.320 -> 09:28.720] That it's impressive for that long.
[09:28.720 -> 09:31.120] The safety car didn't work in Verstappen's favor.
[09:31.120 -> 09:31.940] It worked in Simon's.
[09:31.940 -> 09:33.880] Verstappen's very good at keeping a cool head
[09:33.880 -> 09:37.080] in a high pressured situation,
[09:37.080 -> 09:39.920] which goes back to our podcast with Ollie
[09:39.920 -> 09:42.640] and saying about, you know, keeping that mindset,
[09:42.640 -> 09:45.400] keeping cool in a high pressured situation.
[09:45.400 -> 09:50.680] You got a Ferrari behind you, which is arguably quicker on the straights with DRS with an
[09:50.680 -> 09:52.640] amazing fucking driver in the seats.
[09:52.640 -> 09:54.040] It was just the corners, wasn't it?
[09:54.040 -> 09:56.360] Verstappen was coming out of them so much quicker.
[09:56.360 -> 10:02.960] I could definitely see, I could definitely see how Verstappen is going to run away now
[10:02.960 -> 10:03.960] though.
[10:03.960 -> 10:07.520] What do you think happened to Perez?
[10:07.520 -> 10:08.360] To Perez?
[10:08.360 -> 10:10.120] Well, that's the thing, at the beginning of this podcast,
[10:10.120 -> 10:11.640] I said Verstappen was gonna DNF.
[10:11.640 -> 10:14.880] On reflection, I actually meant a red bull driver
[10:14.880 -> 10:16.280] was gonna DNF.
[10:16.280 -> 10:18.040] Didn't think it was gonna be Perez.
[10:18.040 -> 10:18.880] Perez.
[10:18.880 -> 10:19.700] Perez.
[10:19.700 -> 10:20.540] It was something with his engine.
[10:20.540 -> 10:22.360] Engine, yeah, transmission, gearbox,
[10:22.360 -> 10:23.400] sound like you heard it.
[10:23.400 -> 10:25.920] Luckily it didn't, because you said to me during the race
[10:25.920 -> 10:27.480] that they're both running like the same setup
[10:27.480 -> 10:28.320] or a similar setup.
[10:28.320 -> 10:30.520] So it's a good thing it didn't happen to Verstappen.
[10:30.520 -> 10:32.360] Yeah, I did think it would happen to both of them
[10:32.360 -> 10:35.760] because they've had, that was a Red Bull's fourth DNF,
[10:35.760 -> 10:37.240] technical DNF so far.
[10:37.240 -> 10:38.080] Yeah.
[10:38.080 -> 10:39.200] So they've had quite a few technical DNFs.
[10:39.200 -> 10:43.080] I mean, it's just lucky Verstappen didn't go as well,
[10:43.080 -> 10:45.280] but it did call a DNF of Red Bull, so.
[10:45.280 -> 10:48.200] Man, I'm just glad we're seeing Hamilton up there.
[10:48.200 -> 10:49.120] Did you hear him?
[10:49.120 -> 10:50.160] Yeah, he was overjoyed.
[10:50.160 -> 10:52.000] He was elated.
[10:52.000 -> 10:53.640] When he started fourth, finished third.
[10:53.640 -> 10:55.880] You can finally hear that excitement back in his voice
[10:55.880 -> 10:58.600] after like months of him being just not into it.
[10:58.600 -> 10:59.680] The car looked better today.
[10:59.680 -> 11:02.000] There was none of him complaining.
[11:02.000 -> 11:03.560] There was none of him complaining, like at the end,
[11:03.560 -> 11:08.220] none of that about, you know, hurting his back. back, they must have made some changes but obviously Baku
[11:08.220 -> 11:12.500] was a street track so you have to remember a lot of it. This is what I learned, it's
[11:12.500 -> 11:17.680] not necessarily the porpoise in the Mercedes, it's not really, that's not the issue, some
[11:17.680 -> 11:21.600] of the other cars have that issue but Mercedes one of their biggest issues is just how low
[11:21.600 -> 11:29.760] they are and the street tracks like Baku, bumps they're just not set up like the other cars to go over the normal bumps on the
[11:29.760 -> 11:33.160] road it's just the bumps in the road making the car go do do do do do do do
[11:33.160 -> 11:37.840] that's why it's so bad for Hamilton. I think by lowering the car you combat the
[11:37.840 -> 11:41.280] porpoising right so they've lowered the car to try and stop the car from
[11:41.280 -> 11:48.000] porpoising. You're asking a scientific expert. Ask me any porpoising questions, I can give you an absolute perfect scientific analogy.
[11:48.000 -> 11:50.000] Okay, well answer that one.
[11:50.000 -> 11:51.000] Ask me again?
[11:51.000 -> 11:53.000] So, they've lowered the car, right, to combat the porpoising?
[11:53.000 -> 11:55.000] Yeah, they undid a few screws, pushed it down a little bit.
[11:55.000 -> 11:56.000] Right.
[11:56.000 -> 11:57.000] Okay.
[11:57.000 -> 12:02.000] Okay, so that should have made it better for porpoising, but worse on the street tracks.
[12:02.000 -> 12:04.000] Well, yeah, that is it, Fabio Brocco.
[12:04.000 -> 12:06.240] Because by lowering it, it is better for Pauperson
[12:06.240 -> 12:49.580] as the ground there and top there meets. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba- But but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but basically back here was the street tracks and a bit of ground force and downforce. We're still learning about poor pursuit of character. Ground effect. Yeah, but Hamilton's third. It's happy days for Hamilton. Happy days for Hamilton.
[12:49.580 -> 12:56.760] Russell's fourth. Russell's still finishing the top fifth, top five every single race so far. Mr. Consistent.
[12:57.040 -> 13:01.840] Beautiful. Not as consistent as Latifi, but consistent. It was very unlucky for
[13:02.300 -> 13:06.360] the Haas cars. Very unlucky, but at least I haven't got to get a tattoo
[13:06.360 -> 13:11.600] Oh, it's coming my friend. Yeah, I want it to happen though. I want the pressure to keep coming
[13:11.600 -> 13:14.480] I want everyone to know that if he gets any points, oh
[13:15.000 -> 13:20.160] Can't be in a sprint has to be in a race. I will get a tattoo. You got unlucky today
[13:20.160 -> 13:22.560] Well, I'd say you got lucky. No, I got unlucky
[13:22.560 -> 13:27.640] I was actually went on Google earlier and typed in Mick Schumacher drawings and started to pull
[13:27.640 -> 13:31.440] some off Google to see which ones I'd like like artwork what do you think you
[13:31.440 -> 13:34.600] get it done well I'm thinking on the back of my ankle but if he wins or gets
[13:34.600 -> 13:38.360] podium I'll get it on my back and it'll be huge see if Alonso wins a race yeah
[13:38.360 -> 13:43.560] I'm gonna get Alonso across my knuckles I think today is absolutely 150 million
[13:43.560 -> 13:47.560] percent signifying to me that Alonso is not gonna win a race and I definitely don't even think he's gonna
[13:47.560 -> 13:51.040] make the podium. I mean he was lucky to start second and then he's finished 7th.
[13:51.040 -> 13:54.640] It's a shame about the car. I think it is the car. Do you know what happens?
[13:54.640 -> 14:03.360] Go on. He goes to another team mid-season. For God's sake! He goes to another team mid-season.
[14:03.360 -> 14:05.080] When are you going to accept
[14:05.080 -> 14:08.760] Alonso is going to another team? And it's the return of the king. The return of the
[14:08.760 -> 14:14.440] king. Alonso return! No, it's just not going to happen is it? Not in that Alpine, it ain't.
[14:14.440 -> 14:18.920] I do think there's, would you reckon to the potential that, I know we're celebrating he
[14:18.920 -> 14:22.440] was driving of the day, but would you reckon to the potential of that maybe being Latifi's
[14:22.440 -> 14:30.480] last race? There is rumours around it that Pastri could step into the Williams for Silvester.
[14:30.480 -> 14:36.960] Now that could just be a complete load of rubbish rumour but I mean when they bunched
[14:36.960 -> 14:41.040] back up, Latifi was dead last other than the DNFs okay.
[14:41.040 -> 14:47.040] And then even then when they bunched up again Still dead last like just no like come on
[14:47.360 -> 14:52.920] Well albums getting around people overtaking people I think album finished 13th and the TV finished 16th
[14:53.000 -> 14:54.760] But obviously that was because of the DNFs
[14:54.760 -> 14:59.420] I'm just on Twitter right now by the way check and they haven't announced driver of the day because we're filming this
[14:59.880 -> 15:10.800] Straight away. Oh, no, they have they have just announced an actual driver of the day and it was Charles Lecran. Yeah it's gotta be. So guys we absolutely fucked it all right.
[15:11.920 -> 15:16.640] Why didn't we all vote Latifi? I don't think we fucked it, I think Latifi fucked it.
[15:18.000 -> 15:22.880] Well we tried. Because even if Latifi had made up one place that would have been good enough for him
[15:22.880 -> 15:26.680] to have gotten it. He didn't do one overtake or anything.
[15:26.680 -> 15:27.680] That would have been enough for me.
[15:27.680 -> 15:29.020] One overtake and I would have been like,
[15:29.020 -> 15:30.280] yeah, give it to the team.
[15:30.280 -> 15:31.840] Man, I was thinking mid race.
[15:31.840 -> 15:33.680] Like, I mean, I know like there's a paycheck
[15:33.680 -> 15:34.500] at the end of the day,
[15:34.500 -> 15:37.540] but if that was me and I was coming last every single race,
[15:37.540 -> 15:40.080] it would eat me up inside to the point where like,
[15:40.080 -> 15:42.040] I would just, I would just pack it in.
[15:42.040 -> 15:42.880] Yeah.
[15:42.880 -> 15:46.000] I'd drive, mid race, I'd drive straight into those pits, I'd be like,
[15:46.000 -> 15:51.300] guys, thank you very much, it's been a great ride, but I'm getting the fuck out of here because this is embarrassing.
[15:51.300 -> 15:55.200] The thing is, let's not take away from the fact that he is undoubtedly one of the best drivers in the world.
[15:55.200 -> 16:00.900] I mean, he's a Formula 1 driver, but maybe he's meant to be doing, like, Formula E or IndyCar,
[16:00.900 -> 16:04.100] like we said about before, there's so many other routes he'd probably win at.
[16:04.100 -> 16:07.680] It would be interesting to see where he goes and what he does after F1,
[16:07.680 -> 16:11.280] and I will follow it just to see if he can do anything anywhere else.
[16:11.280 -> 16:16.400] I just want Williams to succeed, and Albon's gone there and is having a good year, like he's
[16:16.400 -> 16:20.800] just learning the car, new regulations, doing alright. I just think Williams at this point
[16:20.800 -> 16:27.680] would be better off with a new driver, and I think they probably might be thinking the same thing but yeah there's quite a few bad
[16:27.680 -> 16:33.840] pit stops today weren't there? And McLaren's was really bad.
[16:33.840 -> 16:40.280] Well how on earth do you double stack and then not be ready? Like if you call
[16:40.280 -> 16:43.920] in both drivers you know that both drivers are coming in. Now obviously
[16:43.920 -> 16:49.040] they couldn't get Ricciardo's wheel off off so ricardo's that was a slight delay but then they get norris in that's what it
[16:49.040 -> 16:53.840] was no that wasn't the problem they got norris in and there was no tires there for him well yeah
[16:53.840 -> 16:57.840] because they fucked up the ricardo surely yeah yeah but they should still have the tires ready
[16:57.840 -> 17:02.240] for norris if they knew they were double stacking right can you have tires both sets of tires by the
[17:02.240 -> 17:06.300] side of the car i see what you're saying because maybe you have to go both sets of tyres by the side of the car? I see what you're saying, because maybe you have to go... Back into the garage.
[17:06.300 -> 17:08.000] True! I doubt you can!
[17:08.000 -> 17:09.000] I don't really know.
[17:09.000 -> 17:11.000] No, I doubt you can, because you wouldn't be allowed to...
[17:11.000 -> 17:14.000] There's other cars and the pits are busy, I very much doubt you're allowed to take like...
[17:14.000 -> 17:16.000] Two of everything out and put them out waiting.
[17:16.000 -> 17:17.000] I don't know, it would be...
[17:17.000 -> 17:18.000] You'd probably have to go back in and grab them.
[17:18.000 -> 17:19.000] It would be too cluttered, surely.
[17:19.000 -> 17:22.000] I didn't think about that, that would explain it.
[17:22.000 -> 17:23.000] I don't know about that.
[17:23.000 -> 17:26.640] But yeah, they couldn't... And then it was an even longer pit because they couldn't get the tyres on, then they had to swap
[17:26.640 -> 17:31.120] the tyres because he put the wrong one on the front left. Yeah, brutal. Absolutely ruined Norris'
[17:31.120 -> 17:35.200] race. Wasn't great for Norris today, I must admit. But yeah, there was a few bad pit stops today,
[17:35.200 -> 17:42.000] Red Bull had some absolutely insane pit stops. I did think, we've got new fans listening to this,
[17:42.000 -> 17:45.760] so it's interesting because everyone's learning the strategies and seeing how everyone does it
[17:45.760 -> 17:48.800] But obviously as you know, there was a first safety car in Verstappen pitted
[17:49.440 -> 17:53.840] But some of the others didn't pit and obviously it's worked out in the end with the other safety cars
[17:54.440 -> 18:00.460] But I loved it what they did right at the end of the race today when it was lapped cars overtake and it was Red Bull
[18:00.840 -> 18:03.200] Ferrari Mercedes the free in a line
[18:03.720 -> 18:05.520] That's that's what it's what it's all about.
[18:05.520 -> 18:09.520] It's what Sainz needed and he just couldn't quite capitalise on it.
[18:09.520 -> 18:11.520] No, the opportunity was there.
[18:11.520 -> 18:13.520] I mean he couldn't have been given a better chance.
[18:13.520 -> 18:18.520] Do you know what was great as well was when Verstappen came out of the pits and he was right next to Hamilton.
[18:18.520 -> 18:20.520] Hamilton pushed him right over.
[18:20.520 -> 18:22.520] For like a split second it was like watching last year again.
[18:22.520 -> 18:23.520] It was, wasn't it?
[18:23.520 -> 18:24.520] It was unreal, it was great.
[18:24.520 -> 18:30.560] I think this could be Hamelin back. Well, that's what's gonna ask you now. Is this the return of the Mac?
[18:31.480 -> 18:37.960] He is one of the greatest drivers of all time. I stand by my statement. He is no longer the best driver on the grid
[18:38.160 -> 18:44.960] He's not I don't think what Lewis Hamilton. He's not the best driver on the grid anymore currently why he's the of all time
[18:44.960 -> 18:49.480] Yeah, he is because he's so much miss miss Tappan is so clear of everyone. He's not the best driver on the grid anymore, currently. Why? He's the, of all time, yeah he is. Because he's so much, Verstappen is so clear of everyone, he's proven
[18:49.480 -> 18:53.660] that today. Yeah but the car man, the car, the car. Yeah maybe it is, well you could
[18:53.660 -> 18:57.320] say it's the car but Verstappen was on old tyres and still a Ferrari with DRS couldn't
[18:57.320 -> 19:01.840] get near him. Lewis Hamilton, Lewis Hamilton in like a car that's had so many problems
[19:01.840 -> 19:07.600] this year, come third today. Yeah no, great, really well, but he got the luck of the draw on certain things. Safety
[19:07.600 -> 19:12.700] cars, obviously a great race, I'm not in any way trying to say he didn't, but I just don't
[19:12.700 -> 19:17.340] think he's on the level of the Sapon. But I do hope it's Hamilton back, because I'd
[19:17.340 -> 19:19.260] love to see another team end at this race now.
[19:19.260 -> 19:22.820] I'd love for him to come in and just mess up everything that's going on. And that's
[19:22.820 -> 19:27.560] why I welcome all these problems, like these issues with the pits with McLaren
[19:27.560 -> 19:29.600] and bits and bobs and other things going on.
[19:29.600 -> 19:31.200] Obviously cars going to the back of the grid,
[19:31.200 -> 19:33.080] changing their engine and that.
[19:33.080 -> 19:36.040] I welcome all that stuff because no one wants to see
[19:36.040 -> 19:38.240] the same thing happening again and again and again.
[19:38.240 -> 19:39.780] You want it to be messed up.
[19:39.780 -> 19:41.840] You want to see different people coming in
[19:41.840 -> 19:45.040] and just ruining the, do you know what I mean, the trend.
[19:45.040 -> 19:50.640] Wait, 100%, I would much rather see Hamilton go and win like the next three races in a
[19:50.640 -> 19:54.000] row than Verstappen to win or even Ferrari to win.
[19:54.000 -> 19:58.560] I believe Hamilton is currently fifth in the standings.
[19:58.560 -> 20:03.360] Hamilton is currently, I've got them right here, one, two, three, four, Hamilton is sixth,
[20:03.360 -> 20:04.600] Sainz is fifth.
[20:04.600 -> 20:06.000] It's really interesting now because
[20:06.000 -> 20:07.520] Verstappen is pulling straight away.
[20:07.520 -> 20:08.960] What are the points looking like?
[20:08.960 -> 20:17.160] Verstappen is on 175, Perez is on 129, Leclerc is on 126, 13 points behind Perez, Russell
[20:17.160 -> 20:20.080] is on 111, 15 points behind Leclerc.
[20:20.080 -> 20:21.080] Wow.
[20:21.080 -> 20:22.080] Wow.
[20:22.080 -> 20:29.920] And Sainz, yeah, Russell is just Mr. Consistent, he's right there. Hamilton is a total of 100 and no, 98 points.
[20:29.920 -> 20:36.000] Hamilton is 98 points behind Verstappen. Can 98 points be made up, Fab? What do you reckon?
[20:36.000 -> 20:36.480] Yeah.
[20:36.480 -> 20:37.920] Yeah? You reckon?
[20:38.560 -> 20:40.880] I don't know because you're betting against the red ball here.
[20:40.880 -> 20:46.720] Well, the next race is one that Hamilton really likes and he puts in
[20:46.720 -> 20:52.520] big performances. Where are we going next Fab? It's not Silverstone. Mate it is next
[20:52.520 -> 20:58.480] up Silverstone. Could that be? Can he bring it home for the Brits? This is what I'm saying.
[20:58.480 -> 21:02.000] This is what I mean man, this whole thing is a set up, like make Hamilton do shit in
[21:02.000 -> 21:06.680] the beginning and he brings it back home in the UK, Bosh, everyone's going nuts and then he wins the rest of season
[21:06.680 -> 21:12.660] there's no doubt in that he couldn't win it he is amazing it's a lot of points to
[21:12.660 -> 21:17.240] be made up you read Red Bull it's not enough for him to just do really well
[21:17.240 -> 21:20.960] now like there needs to be an issue for Verstappen for the next couple of races
[21:20.960 -> 21:24.560] agreed because even if Hamilton was winning and Verstappen was coming like
[21:24.560 -> 21:28.000] third or fourth yeah it's not enough the point difference would still be too hard to make
[21:28.000 -> 21:33.760] up really. I think it's even starting to get away from Leclerc a little bit though. I
[21:33.760 -> 21:38.160] mean Leclerc had an amazing race today, smashed it from the back of the grid, but Leclerc
[21:38.160 -> 21:43.520] now needs a Verstappen DNF. Look it's just good that the Ferraris didn't conk out today,
[21:43.520 -> 21:49.520] they had no issues, so let's hope that the engine change that he has had has fixed the problem now.
[21:49.520 -> 21:54.800] And moving forward, hopefully they have no more issues, because he's still very much in the battle, 100%.
[22:02.800 -> 22:06.560] Well, Perez is going to have to make changes next week which could see him as a grid penalty.
[22:06.560 -> 22:09.000] I think we'll start seeing a few grid penalties come up now.
[22:09.000 -> 22:12.600] If you don't know how a grid penalty works, Fab's going to explain it to you why they
[22:12.600 -> 22:15.120] go to the back of the grid.
[22:15.120 -> 22:16.120] Tell them why.
[22:16.120 -> 22:17.120] What is it?
[22:17.120 -> 22:18.120] If they change their engine?
[22:18.120 -> 22:19.120] Yeah but there's other reasons as well.
[22:19.120 -> 22:21.320] Well you get a certain amount of engine changes a year.
[22:21.320 -> 22:23.200] But not just engines is it?
[22:23.200 -> 22:24.200] No.
[22:24.200 -> 22:26.520] It's like all of the different things you can change,
[22:26.520 -> 22:28.740] but they get different penalties for them.
[22:28.740 -> 22:30.120] Okay.
[22:30.120 -> 22:31.220] Well, maybe you can fucking tell me then,
[22:31.220 -> 22:32.240] because I clearly don't know.
[22:32.240 -> 22:33.460] Yeah, all right.
[22:33.460 -> 22:36.020] We're going to come back to you next week on that one.
[22:36.020 -> 22:37.120] I haven't studied that.
[22:37.120 -> 22:38.860] I was hoping that Fab knew.
[22:39.760 -> 22:41.400] Yeah, I didn't quite get that.
[22:41.400 -> 22:43.880] Alonso actually had a bit of an issue.
[22:43.880 -> 22:47.540] On lap 17, I've wrote a note down because there was a safety car and he didn't pit and on
[22:47.540 -> 22:50.800] reflection he needed to pit if you remember he stayed out on them tyres.
[22:50.800 -> 22:56.800] He had his chance on the safety car to pit on 17 and he could have got out and
[22:56.800 -> 23:00.360] probably been third or fourth and had fresh tyres but instead he went for like
[23:00.360 -> 23:05.200] a 40, like a massive stint on these tyres and just lost so much time to the rest
[23:05.200 -> 23:09.160] of the field that when he did pit, everyone had caught up and that's why he dropped further
[23:09.160 -> 23:10.160] back.
[23:10.160 -> 23:14.240] The thing for me about Alonso is that there is a different aura around him compared to
[23:14.240 -> 23:19.440] these other drivers and I truly believe that, I mean if I was to compare myself to any driver
[23:19.440 -> 23:22.160] on the grid, it would be him.
[23:22.160 -> 23:23.600] Would you go on?
[23:23.600 -> 23:30.720] How did you get to that? So you are like Fernando Alonso because because I'm just here for the fun
[23:30.960 -> 23:33.120] All right, you're a very competitive guy
[23:33.120 -> 23:38.240] You want to be winning everything so I would probably compare you to someone like the stappan because you want to be winning and you
[23:38.240 -> 23:45.360] Get very fucking angry if you don't win whereas with me, I'm absolutely class at everything and if I don't win, I'm just having fun.
[23:45.360 -> 23:46.240] I don't reckon.
[23:46.240 -> 23:47.680] I'm out here just chilling.
[23:47.680 -> 23:50.160] Like, Alonso will have a smile on his face after that.
[23:50.160 -> 23:51.840] No, I think you've got it completely wrong.
[23:51.840 -> 23:54.880] I think Alonso is absolutely furious with that.
[23:54.880 -> 23:55.920] I don't think he's furious.
[23:55.920 -> 23:56.320] Do you not?
[23:56.320 -> 23:57.280] I think he's a bit gutted.
[23:57.280 -> 23:59.280] He should have done better, but like, he'll still be smiling.
[23:59.280 -> 24:02.160] You're going to go and see an interview on TV now, because this is straight after race
[24:02.160 -> 24:04.400] and Alonso's going to be throwing shit around.
[24:04.400 -> 24:08.560] No, don't get me wrong. He will be a bit bummed. He's not there for the fun, mate. He still wants
[24:08.560 -> 24:12.560] to win, Alonso. Of course, you still want to win if you're racing. He had a bad start though,
[24:12.560 -> 24:17.600] didn't he? But he's just a happy guy. Even like, you saw him pre-race, he wasn't like,
[24:17.600 -> 24:21.440] yeah, I need to get this, I'm going to get this. He was just like, eh, you know, I'll go out,
[24:21.440 -> 24:27.320] I'll attack Max in the first corner and we'll see what happens. No, obviously. I mean, he knows he's in a shit car compared to a Red Bull.
[24:27.320 -> 24:29.520] It was a shame how slow he was off that beginning.
[24:29.520 -> 24:32.240] You could see, like, the rest of the field just got right up to him.
[24:32.240 -> 24:36.280] If he just... but saying that, even if he did do it on the first corner,
[24:36.280 -> 24:38.400] Verstappen would have took him. There were 70 laps.
[24:38.400 -> 24:39.400] Yeah, yeah, yeah, it would have been gone.
[24:39.400 -> 24:41.000] So it was better that he just stayed in the race.
[24:41.000 -> 24:42.560] Yeah, no, for sure.
[24:42.560 -> 24:49.520] It was just so unfortunate for, yeah, to horse like we said Magnussen on the first lap with Hamilton got the damage
[24:49.520 -> 24:53.000] on the when they were just going side by side you got a little bit of damage on
[24:53.000 -> 24:56.880] the front cone is it called front wing yes yeah it's on the one of the sides of
[24:56.880 -> 25:00.240] that and then Magnussen drops all the way down because he has to pay he got
[25:00.240 -> 25:03.920] flagged because it was unsafe yeah in case it pings off into the fans or
[25:03.920 -> 25:05.500] they call it a black and orange flag?
[25:05.500 -> 25:08.500] Yeah, so I think black and orange flag means like you have to pit.
[25:08.500 -> 25:11.000] It means that you just, they're telling you you have to pit.
[25:11.000 -> 25:12.500] You don't get a choice from a team.
[25:12.500 -> 25:13.500] I'm surprised that didn't happen.
[25:13.500 -> 25:15.500] Did that happen with Sonoda when they duct taped his...
[25:15.500 -> 25:16.500] Yeah, that's what happened with Sonoda.
[25:16.500 -> 25:19.000] But then they were meant to say he couldn't go back out, but he did with duct tape.
[25:19.000 -> 25:20.000] Right.
[25:20.000 -> 25:21.000] Legend.
[25:21.000 -> 25:22.000] Ridiculous.
[25:22.000 -> 25:24.000] Sonoda DNF today.
[25:24.000 -> 25:25.280] Fixing all of his problems with a
[25:25.280 -> 25:29.040] fucking bit of duct tape so no day yeah went straight into a wall it's not
[25:29.040 -> 25:33.000] having it that was going his way that wasn't great but the sad one for me like
[25:33.000 -> 25:37.480] we said was me I really really wanted that I'm just so sad about it
[25:37.480 -> 25:41.240] straight up that little chicane girl I mean it gets me on the game every time
[25:41.240 -> 25:46.380] Bottas went straight through the marker quite a few at Leclerc went straight over at once.
[25:46.380 -> 25:47.680] That's a tricky corner.
[25:47.680 -> 25:49.160] These cars are bigger, I think.
[25:49.160 -> 25:50.720] So when you come flying into that
[25:50.720 -> 25:52.640] and have to make it round that corner and again.
[25:52.640 -> 25:53.840] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[25:53.840 -> 25:57.280] And also it's tricky because the pit lane's there.
[25:57.280 -> 25:59.060] So if someone's on your right
[25:59.060 -> 26:00.920] and you need to pit or whatever,
[26:00.920 -> 26:01.800] you saw it quite a lot.
[26:01.800 -> 26:03.800] They were going one-on-one, forced into it,
[26:03.800 -> 26:06.920] but then someone would just slide into the pits. I've just been sat
[26:06.920 -> 26:10.080] here thinking like you know the problems that all the teams that are using the
[26:10.080 -> 26:15.360] Ferrari engine Ferrari seem to have fixed their problems but do Haas have
[26:15.360 -> 26:20.440] the resources to be able to fix their engine? I get what you mean because they so they get
[26:20.440 -> 26:25.260] their engine supplied by Ferrari right but they don't have the? But they don't have the same resources.
[26:25.260 -> 26:26.700] They don't have the same team.
[26:26.700 -> 26:28.300] So yeah, they may have the same engine,
[26:28.300 -> 26:29.260] the same power unit.
[26:29.260 -> 26:31.700] Could still be struggling with that.
[26:31.700 -> 26:34.060] But then I'm sat here thinking like, well, did,
[26:36.420 -> 26:38.220] I'm thinking Alfa Tauri, Alfa Romeo.
[26:38.220 -> 26:39.660] Did they have any problems?
[26:39.660 -> 26:41.220] No, Bottas done well today.
[26:41.220 -> 26:43.140] Joe, Joe done blindingly well today.
[26:43.140 -> 26:45.000] I really like Joe. I really like Joe. I
[26:51.640 -> 26:58.360] Really like Joe. I think this is his rookie season and you're seeing some of the most experienced drivers in the world struggle with the car I mean, I wonder has Joe ever raced Canada in f2 because they didn't this season f2 didn't race this season in
[26:58.880 -> 27:04.920] Canada so I don't know whether f2 have raced there before pre in previous years has Joe done Canada before I'm not sure
[27:04.920 -> 27:05.300] I'm not sure.
[27:05.300 -> 27:06.500] I'm not sure.
[27:06.500 -> 27:08.720] But we can see why practice is so important
[27:08.720 -> 27:10.600] because me and Fab were trying to set fast slaps
[27:10.600 -> 27:11.440] on the F1 game earlier.
[27:11.440 -> 27:12.280] I was just about to say, I was just about to say.
[27:12.280 -> 27:13.680] And my God, when you're doing it,
[27:13.680 -> 27:16.120] we don't ever do practice on the game, do we?
[27:16.120 -> 27:16.960] No.
[27:16.960 -> 27:17.780] We just go straight in.
[27:17.780 -> 27:18.800] We were doing time trials
[27:18.800 -> 27:21.000] and anyone who plays the F1 game will know
[27:21.000 -> 27:23.200] that like every car is equal power, right,
[27:23.200 -> 27:24.480] when you're doing a time trial.
[27:24.480 -> 27:25.760] But we were like, there's something wrong with this car
[27:25.760 -> 27:31.120] this car is not turning but that's just because of the track is so tight
[27:31.120 -> 27:38.400] that track is hard, really hard but it did produce a fantastic race I'm so happy that at
[27:38.400 -> 27:43.720] the end of the race the lap cars went back round if they hadn't have overtook
[27:43.720 -> 27:45.200] we would not have had to finish that we did
[27:45.440 -> 27:49.840] But it was just such a shame. I really wanted signs to get his first race in Formula one
[27:49.840 -> 27:53.680] That was his 150th race and it would have been his first ever win
[27:54.720 -> 27:55.720] signs
[27:55.720 -> 28:01.020] He's there's like a leaderboard somewhere of like drivers that are the longest winning and he's quite longest about a win
[28:01.020 -> 28:02.840] I think it's I think it's coming though
[28:02.840 -> 28:07.280] I mean, I remember, you know a couple of pods back when Ferrari weren't doing so well especially
[28:07.280 -> 28:12.160] Sainz was, sorry Leclerc was doing, sort of going so far ahead and Sainz wasn't
[28:12.160 -> 28:15.880] quite, quite keeping, I can't even talk today, Sainz wasn't quite keeping up.
[28:15.880 -> 28:19.320] You know there was a conversation between you and me like you know is Sainz
[28:19.320 -> 28:23.120] actually good enough, do you know I mean, but I think today is proven that he's a
[28:23.120 -> 28:31.600] blinding driver. No he definitely is, I just think if Leclerc's not starting at the back of the grid, I don't think Sainz will ever finish ahead of him.
[28:31.600 -> 28:33.800] I can't believe Leclerc came where he did today.
[28:33.800 -> 28:41.600] Yeah, insane. Insane, because it didn't go his way. He got so unlucky with that pit, he definitely would have finished higher.
[28:41.600 -> 28:46.640] I think he would have finished ahead of the Mercedes. I genuinely think if that pit didn't go shit for Leclerc,
[28:46.640 -> 28:48.400] he would have been third today.
[28:48.400 -> 28:49.640] Because on time wise,
[28:49.640 -> 28:51.440] he should have come out in front of the Mercedes anyway.
[28:51.440 -> 28:54.260] And I also think if he had changed his tires earlier.
[28:54.260 -> 28:55.840] Yeah, with strategy in it.
[28:55.840 -> 28:58.160] He shouldn't have been trying to battle
[28:58.160 -> 28:59.280] with Ocon for that long.
[28:59.280 -> 29:01.560] But he started on hards, deliberately,
[29:01.560 -> 29:02.920] because you have to try something different
[29:02.920 -> 29:04.360] from back of grid, right?
[29:04.360 -> 29:09.360] As we've seen it work for Russell in America.
[29:09.360 -> 29:13.680] I just think if he'd have changed his tyres maybe three or four laps earlier, it could
[29:13.680 -> 29:16.880] have just worked that he'd bided a bit more time and then, like you say, had a better
[29:16.880 -> 29:17.880] pit.
[29:17.880 -> 29:18.880] Yeah.
[29:18.880 -> 29:19.880] It is strange.
[29:19.880 -> 29:23.760] It seems like when one pit goes wrong in a race, all the pits go wrong, and then out
[29:23.760 -> 29:28.640] of nowhere Williams went and did a really good pit, and then's another couple of good pits and then they do a terrible pit
[29:28.640 -> 29:33.200] It is strange it's also strange how like none of these teams have like come to you and me and
[29:33.200 -> 29:38.160] contacted us about like potentially being like head of strategy because clearly we know what
[29:38.160 -> 29:43.520] we're talking about yeah I think that as well right I've been watching these races and I've
[29:43.520 -> 29:46.040] been thinking right all you've got to do is that.
[29:46.040 -> 29:46.880] Imagine like, there's like,
[29:46.880 -> 29:47.840] they're all in like the room
[29:47.840 -> 29:49.200] and they're just like, they bring us in
[29:49.200 -> 29:50.920] and like, we're all like cloaks on
[29:50.920 -> 29:52.720] and sun, like dark shades and that.
[29:52.720 -> 29:53.560] And they're like, what do you think?
[29:53.560 -> 29:55.560] Like, get on the crystal ball.
[29:55.560 -> 29:57.120] And we're sat there like,
[29:57.120 -> 29:59.880] okay, you need to pit on the 21st lap.
[29:59.880 -> 30:00.720] And then you have.
[30:00.720 -> 30:02.720] We'd make pretty.
[30:02.720 -> 30:03.560] Preserve your battery.
[30:03.560 -> 30:05.760] I think we'd make pretty rocking decisions.
[30:05.760 -> 30:08.640] I think I definitely would have put Leclerc in earlier.
[30:08.640 -> 30:10.960] What would you do if you were like the Teefy strategy guy?
[30:10.960 -> 30:12.960] If it was me, the Teefy strategy today.
[30:12.960 -> 30:15.280] Stick your feet up, have a curry.
[30:15.280 -> 30:16.120] Don't worry about it.
[30:16.120 -> 30:18.200] Let the car do the driving, just put it on autopilot.
[30:18.200 -> 30:20.840] I would have started him on softs
[30:20.840 -> 30:21.880] and I would have tried to get him
[30:21.880 -> 30:23.640] a couple of positions up early
[30:23.640 -> 30:25.600] because I knew there was a safety car coming.
[30:25.600 -> 30:26.600] No one was on softs.
[30:26.600 -> 30:31.200] No, because everyone wasn't risking the safety car, but I knew the safety car was coming early.
[30:31.200 -> 30:35.200] So I would have started him on softs, got him a bit of grid positioning, probably got him up two, three positions.
[30:35.200 -> 30:39.200] Early pit stop, you know, when there's the safety car.
[30:39.200 -> 30:44.200] Straight onto mediums, yep, to do a big stint of 30.
[30:44.200 -> 30:48.840] And then in the next safety car, softs again!
[30:48.840 -> 30:52.400] And then when Sonoda goes off, softs again!
[30:52.400 -> 30:53.720] Yeah, when Sonoda, yeah.
[30:53.720 -> 30:57.200] And then Latifi would win the race!
[30:57.200 -> 30:58.400] The Canadian Grand Prix.
[30:58.400 -> 30:59.680] Okay, that's all he had to do.
[30:59.680 -> 31:00.520] Wow.
[31:00.520 -> 31:02.080] It was a good race from Stroll though.
[31:02.080 -> 31:04.000] Maybe I should have said Stroll driver for the day,
[31:04.000 -> 31:05.000] cause Stroll actually did right
[31:05.000 -> 31:08.820] Did he yeah, I think he finished in the top 10. I just saw him getting overtaken quite a bit
[31:08.820 -> 31:13.640] No, we had a good race, but it was probably because he didn't pit for so long. He stayed out
[31:13.640 -> 31:15.720] Oh, he finished 10th. That's points for straw. Oh
[31:16.320 -> 31:20.240] Well a point for stroll. Sorry. It's one point for 10th. Yeah, Joe came 9th
[31:20.240 -> 31:36.000] Bottas came 8th Alonso came 7th or con sixth, Leclerc fifth, Russell fourth, Hamilton third, Carlos signs second, and the one and only Max Verstappen's first. Yet again.
[31:36.000 -> 31:43.000] You know what? Just hearing that is so exciting. There's like three or four different teams in the front there.
[31:43.000 -> 31:50.920] I know. Well, even Alpina looking so quick,. They're looking they're looking like it was such a bad week. You know, it's actually pronounced Alpina
[31:51.480 -> 31:57.920] No, it's not. Don't tell me that I say Alpine now, you're gonna tell me it's Alpine Alpina. We're slowly getting a
[31:58.760 -> 32:01.560] Pronunciation right now Alpina. Yeah, I know I know
[32:02.200 -> 32:06.860] For about three for about two months. We were saying bought ass and everyone was like don't say that
[32:06.880 -> 32:12.400] Yeah, but that's not that's just because we've we're like, you know, I mean cockney from London in it bought a slight
[32:12.720 -> 32:14.720] We're both from East Sussex
[32:24.520 -> 32:26.000] Church school at all. But yeah, this was absolutely terrible. I went to a church school.
[32:26.000 -> 32:28.000] Oh my god, it's so true, Matty.
[32:28.000 -> 32:30.000] Did you have to sing all those songs?
[32:30.000 -> 32:32.000] All those religious songs in school?
[32:32.000 -> 32:33.000] Remind me of one.
[32:33.000 -> 32:37.000] Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.
[32:37.000 -> 32:42.000] He shall reign in all the earth, he will be called Alonzo.
[32:42.000 -> 32:46.440] What about, give me oil in my lamp, give me burning,
[32:46.440 -> 32:48.320] give me oil in my lamp.
[32:48.320 -> 32:49.160] All right, one more, one more.
[32:49.160 -> 32:50.000] What about,
[32:50.000 -> 32:53.360] we are the children of Elshington school.
[32:53.360 -> 32:56.760] We take the pride in the things we do.
[32:56.760 -> 33:00.080] Working together and having fun.
[33:00.080 -> 33:01.880] Who's for a good day?
[33:01.880 -> 33:02.720] Alonzo!
[33:07.040 -> 33:09.040] Oh God, we're going to a tough topic now. Yeah, I went to a church school.
[33:09.040 -> 33:11.040] My music teacher was called Miss Lullen.
[33:11.040 -> 33:19.440] She would come in like once or twice a week, sit down at the old Mary, the piano, shred a few of the keys, all me and my friends sat there singing.
[33:19.440 -> 33:20.480] That sounds ledge.
[33:20.480 -> 33:26.000] None of us would want to sing. We had this one teacher called Mr. Wood
[33:26.000 -> 33:29.000] and he had like the hairiest arms you've ever seen.
[33:29.000 -> 33:30.000] He was like a gorilla.
[33:30.000 -> 33:31.000] He's this old guy.
[33:31.000 -> 33:34.000] And like, if you wouldn't sing, he would like pull you out
[33:34.000 -> 33:39.000] from wherever you were sat and take you to like the front of the hall
[33:39.000 -> 33:42.000] and make you like sing and stare at you until you stopped singing.
[33:42.000 -> 33:43.000] Sounds like abuse.
[33:43.000 -> 33:44.000] That's horrendous.
[33:44.000 -> 33:45.320] No one would want to do that.
[33:45.320 -> 33:46.920] Mate, I used to hate it.
[33:46.920 -> 33:49.720] I remember my music teacher bought him one of them bazooka things.
[33:49.720 -> 33:51.000] Big Baruka.
[33:51.920 -> 33:53.040] Vuvuzelas.
[33:53.040 -> 33:53.680] The big thing.
[33:53.680 -> 33:54.200] Oh, like a...
[33:54.200 -> 33:54.920] Samba inabuen.
[33:54.920 -> 33:55.920] Waaaaaah.
[33:55.920 -> 33:59.480] Yeah, and I remember all us kids sat in a circle, like, blowing it together.
[33:59.480 -> 34:01.240] Like, one after the other.
[34:01.240 -> 34:03.440] Like, that's not very COVID-friendly, is it?
[34:03.440 -> 34:04.320] Sharing germs.
[34:04.320 -> 34:06.560] But whilst we are on the topic of primary school,
[34:06.560 -> 34:09.960] just a serious think back of how this sport has changed
[34:09.960 -> 34:12.240] and how Formula One has become so big.
[34:12.240 -> 34:14.480] As a kid, probably until I was,
[34:14.480 -> 34:16.760] you had it and you had your dad watching it.
[34:16.760 -> 34:17.600] Yeah.
[34:17.600 -> 34:20.680] I don't remember, and I mean this 100 million percent,
[34:20.680 -> 34:22.800] the whole time I was at school,
[34:22.800 -> 34:25.200] having one conversation about Formula One or
[34:25.200 -> 34:28.800] anyone even talking about it. I don't remember even once.
[34:28.800 -> 34:31.200] Probably not in primary school. I don't even remember it in secondary school.
[34:31.200 -> 34:33.400] Secondary school would have been a better comparison and no, no neither did I.
[34:33.400 -> 34:37.200] I can't remember ever, it's just mad though like now kids in primary school or even
[34:37.200 -> 34:40.000] secondary school are definitely talking about it. Yeah and I love that because the
[34:40.000 -> 34:43.200] amount of times I had to sit there and like bash my head against a table
[34:43.200 -> 34:48.240] because everyone else was talking about football. You love football man! I hate, I don't hate
[34:48.240 -> 34:53.400] football. I just dislike football. Do you prefer Formula One? Is that even a question?
[34:53.400 -> 35:03.720] Imagine you were like, no, let's make a football podcast! Nah, football's just, I've heard so much about football. Change your tune for once. Change your tune!
[35:03.720 -> 35:06.840] Change your tune, who cares about Mod cares about moderate Rooney Suarez or
[35:07.160 -> 35:11.400] Ronaldinho reading out the names of the sign actually I like Ronaldinho. He's my favorite player
[35:11.600 -> 35:17.160] Let's just finish the podcast where we go completely off topic also Gareth Bell cracking cracking player. Who does he play for?
[35:18.440 -> 35:21.200] Well the white and blue team Real Madrid
[35:22.680 -> 35:25.000] Ladies and gentlemen, that is the end of the Pitstop Podcast.

[35:29.000 -> 35:32.000] To all of you that voted Latifi, great work.
[35:32.000 -> 35:34.000] I think we did win it, but they just gave it to Leclerc.
[35:34.000 -> 35:38.000] A bit like the Manspin situation, but, you know, we tried.
[35:38.000 -> 35:39.000] We did our best.
[35:39.000 -> 35:41.000] Maybe that was Latifi's last race. We'll have to see.

[36:34.120 -> 36:38.120] something. Oh, don't, because if you say that, imagine we turn up and everyone's got cakes.
[36:38.120 -> 36:48.160] And we've got to eat it and there's poison in it. And we die. Yeah. Then pit stops over. That would be sad. Or is it? Oh, you're leaving
[36:48.160 -> 36:53.120] such a mysterious question. Because who do we have on reserve? Reserve drivers? Sam Smith
[36:53.120 -> 36:57.840] and Jake Smith. Yeah, Sam and Jake. Sam Smith and Jake Smith are going to step up to the
[36:57.840 -> 37:01.040] plate. I would love to hear that. I would love to hear one episode of that. Ladies and
[37:01.040 -> 37:09.000] gentlemen, yeah, for one bonus episode, do you want our best friends to sit down on the sofa and try and talk about Formula 1 for 30 minutes?
[37:09.000 -> 37:12.000] I tell you what, we could be there as well, but we'd let them lead.
[37:12.000 -> 37:14.000] Yeah, oh, we could be their guests.
[37:14.000 -> 37:15.000] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[37:15.000 -> 37:16.000] Oh, let's do that as a bonus one.
[37:16.000 -> 37:17.000] That would be hilarious.
[37:17.000 -> 37:20.000] We'll do it when there's no race, because there's a summer break coming up.
[37:20.000 -> 37:23.000] Because we've spoken about these guys so much, and they've heard them a little bit when we've called them up and stuff.
[37:23.000 -> 37:26.000] Yeah, but that would be hilarious. Let's do that.
[37:26.000 -> 37:29.000] We'll do it throughout the summer break when there's no race and we have the big gaps.
[37:29.000 -> 37:30.000] The winter break?
[37:30.000 -> 37:31.000] Yeah, the winter break.
[37:31.000 -> 37:33.000] Well, the summer break, there's a massive gap in August.
[37:33.000 -> 37:35.000] I think it might be the summer break.
[37:35.000 -> 37:36.000] In August.
[37:36.000 -> 37:37.000] Is it then?
[37:37.000 -> 37:38.000] Yeah.
[37:38.000 -> 37:47.840] I don't even know, we're learning for the first time. I know we've got Silverstone, France, which there is going to be some very exciting content for. Austria then France.
[37:47.840 -> 37:51.560] We're going big for France aren't we. Don't even say anymore. Guys thanks so much for
