[01:38.600 -> 01:41.760] Leclerc, 1 minute 36.169.
[01:41.760 -> 01:44.760] We're in Austin this weekend and what a race it's going to be.
[01:44.760 -> 01:49.760] Austin is going to be a special one. Austin, Texas, Tennessee, mate.
[01:49.760 -> 01:52.960] Mate, do I wish that I was there. I know.
[01:52.960 -> 01:55.760] The, the, not for the race, for the food, mate.
[01:55.760 -> 01:58.080] The food. The race, eh, come and go.
[01:58.080 -> 02:02.080] But the barbecue meat in Texas looks phenomenal.
[02:02.080 -> 02:05.520] All the stories of everyone out there having a great time before the race
[02:05.520 -> 02:07.600] looks absolutely incredible.
[02:07.600 -> 02:09.280] It's gonna be a big weekend.
[02:09.280 -> 02:10.820] Max may have won the championship,
[02:10.820 -> 02:14.360] but the Constructors, the Constructors is heating up
[02:14.360 -> 02:18.000] like a barbecue, short ribbed beef,
[02:19.520 -> 02:21.520] jerk chicken thing.
[02:21.520 -> 02:23.040] Jerk in there as well.
[02:23.040 -> 02:24.880] We had some nice jerk chicken, did we?
[02:24.880 -> 02:25.960] Jerk chicken in Austin.
[02:25.960 -> 02:28.440] White men can jerk, it's called on Uber Eats.
[02:28.440 -> 02:29.200] Interesting.
[02:29.200 -> 02:31.640] Great restaurant.
[02:31.640 -> 02:33.760] It seems there is another championship going on
[02:33.760 -> 02:36.460] outside of the F1, because from all these stories,
[02:36.460 -> 02:39.440] everyone's posting their favorite barbecue joint
[02:39.440 -> 02:40.480] that they go and eat at.
[02:40.480 -> 02:40.800] Oh, really?
[02:40.800 -> 02:41.900] But they're all different.
[02:41.900 -> 02:44.440] And they're all saying this is the best one in Texas.
[02:44.440 -> 02:48.840] For a start, you don't live in Texas, so how do you really know?
[02:48.840 -> 02:51.080] And two, they all look good, man.
[02:51.080 -> 02:55.000] I've got a lovely foot right next to me because there's a massive hole in your sock.
[02:55.000 -> 02:56.000] Do they smell?
[02:56.000 -> 02:57.000] Right next to my head.
[02:57.000 -> 02:58.280] My feet don't smell, I know already.
[02:58.280 -> 03:01.080] They actually don't smell, but you've just got, it's quite a hole, mate.
[03:01.080 -> 03:03.280] You've almost got like a thong.
[03:03.280 -> 03:05.760] It splits so small that you have a thong.
[03:05.760 -> 03:07.600] A thong in your shoe.
[03:07.600 -> 03:09.600] Look how dirty my feet are.
[03:09.600 -> 03:12.560] Ooh, today is actually a bit sad, isn't it?
[03:12.560 -> 03:13.680] Um, is it?
[03:13.680 -> 03:15.680] We should probably tell them what's happened.
[03:15.680 -> 03:17.200] Uh, rent's gone up.
[03:17.200 -> 03:20.320] That's one bad thing. That's not the really bad thing.
[03:20.320 -> 03:22.320] Oh, don't say this, because now I'm worried.
[03:22.320 -> 03:24.320] What about the poor girl downstairs?
[03:26.000 -> 03:27.000] The poor... Huh? The poor...
[03:27.000 -> 03:27.500] Huh?
[03:27.500 -> 03:29.000] The poor girl downstairs.
[03:29.000 -> 03:30.000] Who are you talking about?
[03:30.000 -> 03:32.000] The one parked.
[03:34.000 -> 03:36.000] I've got no idea what you're talking about right now.
[03:36.000 -> 03:38.000] Oh! Yeah!
[03:39.000 -> 03:40.000] Have we not updated them?
[03:40.000 -> 03:42.000] We haven't updated them since you got back from Qatar.
[03:42.000 -> 03:45.000] Ladies and gents, before we go into the Austin Grand Prix,
[03:45.900 -> 03:47.400] we're going to hit a little sad note.
[03:47.800 -> 03:49.000] It's sad, by the way.
[03:49.000 -> 03:50.300] Everyone get your tissues.
[03:50.700 -> 03:54.500] For anyone who's been following, they know the story about Fab's golf.
[03:55.600 -> 03:59.100] She's pretty much, she's just a part of Pitstop as you and me are.
[03:59.100 -> 03:59.900] She's family.
[03:59.900 -> 04:01.000] She's, I love her.
[04:01.000 -> 04:01.600] I would say.
[04:01.600 -> 04:06.880] She, this golf, I've only had a, you know, three, coming up three years now.
[04:06.880 -> 04:08.620] She took us all the way to Switzerland.
[04:08.620 -> 04:09.620] She did.
[04:09.620 -> 04:14.620] Without this vehicle, we would never have interviewed Valtteri Bottas and Guan Yu Zhou.
[04:14.620 -> 04:17.340] Pretty much everything we've done would never have been possible.
[04:17.340 -> 04:18.340] Definitely not.
[04:18.340 -> 04:19.340] We've gone everywhere in this car.
[04:19.340 -> 04:22.160] Some of the events, some of the factories that we've been to, the Golf has taken us
[04:22.160 -> 04:23.160] the whole way.
[04:23.160 -> 04:25.880] It's also taken a lot of our guests places it
[04:25.880 -> 04:27.980] really has driven people back from races
[04:27.980 -> 04:30.080] we've done all sorts of stuff in this car
[04:30.080 -> 04:31.780] there's a lot of people in the f1 world
[04:31.780 -> 04:33.980] who have... what was that?
[04:33.980 -> 04:36.220] who also share the love for the gulf is
[04:36.220 -> 04:37.900] what you're saying that's very true and
[04:37.900 -> 04:40.020] if you listened maybe two pods ago you
[04:40.020 -> 04:41.780] would have known I tried to drive her to
[04:41.780 -> 04:45.120] Liverpool she gave up I had her in a
[04:45.120 -> 04:49.080] garage she was in a cold dark garage somewhere in rugby like she'd never been
[04:49.080 -> 04:54.800] there before. And she's scared of the dark. She is yeah well she's big girl but she's
[04:54.800 -> 04:59.720] scared of the dark and left her there for a week came back the guy said you
[04:59.720 -> 05:03.760] know she's fine she's all good she's on the mend I start taking her down the
[05:03.760 -> 05:07.480] motorway back from rugby I think that's it I've just you know parted with X amount of money
[05:07.480 -> 05:13.260] hopefully you land from guitar you go there the next day. I've just spent all this money in guitar and then it's like
[05:13.260 -> 05:17.360] oh I've got my car to fix but you would assume that it's done so I'm happy I've
[05:17.360 -> 05:28.000] got the music on I'm rolling down the motorway what happens all of a sudden? She starts choking on the motorway mate, I lose all power.
[05:28.000 -> 05:31.000] Basically the car had gone into limp home mode.
[05:31.000 -> 05:34.000] It said there was something wrong with the DPF filter on it.
[05:34.000 -> 05:36.000] DRS, something wrong with the DRS.
[05:36.000 -> 05:40.000] Something wrong with the DRS on the car, I couldn't get enough heat in the tyres.
[05:40.000 -> 05:44.000] So I've crawled her all the way back to London at 30mph,
[05:44.000 -> 05:48.000] which probably wasn't the correct thing to do. you had to bring her home you know you didn't
[05:48.000 -> 05:50.800] just want to leave her on the side of the road after she spent a week in
[05:50.800 -> 05:56.800] rugby on her own. I would have pushed her home if she had completely given up. I really would have.
[05:56.800 -> 06:02.980] So she's just downstairs like in the car park just I'm not really sure what to do
[06:02.980 -> 06:05.360] with her I think it's judgment day I think the
[06:05.360 -> 06:07.520] time has come where we have to get rid of her. We are a bit of a crossroad aren't we?
[06:07.520 -> 06:12.600] It's either get rid of her or try and fix it. Mate, I can't spend more money on it man.
[06:12.600 -> 06:17.720] It's also one of them you don't want to put her through any more pain. She has, so
[06:17.720 -> 06:21.440] she's got a small crack in the engine that's what it is and the cracks been
[06:21.440 -> 06:28.160] filled but it's only temporary so I mean if there are any mechanics listening to this pod which I hope there are if you want to
[06:28.160 -> 06:34.200] come and maybe you know carry on the legacy of the Gulf you think you can fix
[06:34.200 -> 06:38.560] her if there's anyone out there who thinks they can fix my car and maybe
[06:38.560 -> 06:43.440] super I have to pay two grand for it because the car wasn't worth much more
[06:43.440 -> 06:50.540] than that then please you know you'll be helping me and Pitstop yeah at the same time but anyway
[06:50.540 -> 06:53.860] enough of that if no one comes and fixes it then I'm afraid she's going in the
[06:53.860 -> 07:01.820] scrap pile. You can't scrap the Golf! It's so bullshit! Because I asked Cal on the pod can you fix the
[07:01.820 -> 07:06.300] Golf and he just very fucking flippantly said, nope. And if he had fixed it there and then.
[07:06.300 -> 07:09.180] I don't think he really realized like the,
[07:09.180 -> 07:11.420] how, how, how intense it is.
[07:11.420 -> 07:13.220] I don't reckon we should scrap it.
[07:13.220 -> 07:14.780] I reckon we should like chop it in half
[07:14.780 -> 07:16.820] and put half of the car in the flat.
[07:16.820 -> 07:18.940] Like as if like it's a prop.
[07:18.940 -> 07:19.780] I'd love it.
[07:19.780 -> 07:20.600] Do you know what I mean?
[07:20.600 -> 07:21.440] You know how- That would be quite cool.
[07:21.440 -> 07:22.700] You know how on Top Gear,
[07:22.700 -> 07:24.860] the sofas they sat on were just car chairs
[07:24.860 -> 07:26.160] that had been turned into sofas?
[07:26.160 -> 07:29.960] If we can take the back seats out and turn it into a little sofa
[07:29.960 -> 07:31.960] You sure you want the back seats?
[07:31.960 -> 07:33.960] What's wrong with the back seats?
[07:33.960 -> 07:35.960] Filler stains
[07:35.960 -> 07:37.960] You're a disgusting man
[07:37.960 -> 07:41.960] Welcome back to the Austin Grand Prix Podcast
[07:41.960 -> 07:43.960] I was scrolling through
[07:43.960 -> 07:45.000] Fabs dodgy websites are back? No, absolutely. I was scrolling through...
[07:45.000 -> 07:47.000] Fab's dodgy websites are back!
[07:47.000 -> 07:50.000] No, absolutely not. I was scrolling through Instagram, actually.
[07:50.000 -> 07:53.000] This actually goes back to Qatar, so we're backtracking a little bit.
[07:53.000 -> 07:58.000] But I saw a post from Sky Sports, and it was a quote from Lewis Hamilton.
[07:58.000 -> 08:05.360] Now, I feel like, ever since we've started this pod, we've always had a very raw and basic knowledge, but we
[08:05.360 -> 08:09.440] as viewers, we know what we want, which is crashes, flames and excitement.
[08:09.440 -> 08:11.160] And a good race.
[08:11.160 -> 08:15.280] And a good race and everyone to be safe.
[08:15.280 -> 08:17.040] No one to like hurt themselves.
[08:17.040 -> 08:22.080] But I've almost, I've felt recently that I've kind of not been able to talk about it because
[08:22.080 -> 08:27.800] it's such a, it's an important topic and everyone, like I say, everyone wants everyone to be safe
[08:27.800 -> 08:30.280] but you don't want the sport to become so safe
[08:30.280 -> 08:31.320] that it's boring.
[08:31.320 -> 08:35.160] And I thought maybe this is me as a viewer, I'm naive.
[08:35.160 -> 08:36.440] I don't know what I'm talking about.
[08:36.440 -> 08:39.140] If you speak to anyone actually who was a racing driver
[08:39.140 -> 08:40.720] they'd have a different opinion.
[08:40.720 -> 08:43.960] Lewis Hamilton went on record and said,
[08:43.960 -> 08:45.880] so this is referring to the Qatar Grand Prix,
[08:45.880 -> 08:48.280] where everyone was like fucked after it.
[08:48.280 -> 08:50.240] He said, obviously I didn't do the race,
[08:50.240 -> 08:54.640] because his teammate fucked him in the side and ran off.
[08:54.640 -> 08:56.160] He said, so I didn't get to feel the pain
[08:56.160 -> 08:58.680] that the drivers felt, however Malaysia was much hotter
[08:58.680 -> 09:01.080] than that race, and I know what it's like to lose
[09:01.080 -> 09:03.220] four or more kilos in the race,
[09:03.220 -> 09:05.520] and barely being able to stand afterwards,
[09:05.520 -> 09:11.600] which must feel crazy. He said, my feeling towards it is this is an extreme sport. You don't have
[09:12.400 -> 09:17.360] marathon runners who are passing out after the marathon saying you have to make it shorter.
[09:17.360 -> 09:22.240] This is an extreme sport and we are paid very highly for what we do. And from my perspective,
[09:22.240 -> 09:27.880] when I've not been feeling great at the end of the race I've just got to train harder and that's how it's been for me
[09:27.880 -> 09:32.840] back in the days Ayrton Senna you go over the curb it's grass and you pay
[09:32.840 -> 09:36.080] the penalty it's like let's not get too soft
[09:36.080 -> 09:44.640] yeah I love it I love that so much yeah because it shows that these guys
[09:44.640 -> 09:46.800] especially someone like Lewis, hasn't
[09:46.800 -> 09:49.040] let the money get to his head in a way.
[09:49.040 -> 09:52.540] I think there's also got to be an element you've got to remember, Lewis has done these
[09:52.540 -> 09:58.240] races a lot. A lot of the people that were struggling with the heat were rookies and
[09:58.240 -> 10:02.700] new people to the sport. They have training, you might be able to train for something,
[10:02.700 -> 10:05.080] train a one-off, but doing it multiple times,
[10:05.080 -> 10:07.580] like Lewis has probably been to some of these hottest places
[10:07.580 -> 10:10.260] in the world like 10 years in a row, maybe more.
[10:10.260 -> 10:13.100] Some of these kids, it's their first or second year.
[10:13.100 -> 10:15.420] They just wouldn't have adjusted or acclimatized
[10:15.420 -> 10:17.060] or even been used to it.
[10:17.060 -> 10:19.180] I'm with you, they need to keep it.
[10:19.180 -> 10:21.220] It is an extreme sport.
[10:21.220 -> 10:22.540] So these things are gonna happen.
[10:22.540 -> 10:23.380] You're gonna have-
[10:23.380 -> 10:25.040] Advancements like the Halo is great. Yeah. That doesn't take away from the sport, so these things are gonna happen. You're gonna have- Advancements like the Halo is great.
[10:25.040 -> 10:25.880] Yeah.
[10:25.880 -> 10:28.600] But that doesn't take away from the sport, I don't think.
[10:28.600 -> 10:30.320] One of the most amazing things about the sport
[10:30.320 -> 10:31.680] is the fact that it's all around the world.
[10:31.680 -> 10:33.680] So you're gonna have different climates.
[10:35.160 -> 10:37.920] It was quite scary to see the videos
[10:37.920 -> 10:39.640] of how drained the drivers were,
[10:39.640 -> 10:41.520] when you think about the fact that it was so hot
[10:41.520 -> 10:43.840] that me and you could barely even stand outside
[10:43.840 -> 10:45.200] and watch the race
[10:51.440 -> 10:57.120] let alone them in a race suit in a car i was standing on the balcony in paddock club with a fucking mimosa in my hand without a care in the world i'm like oh fucking hell this is hot yeah
[10:57.120 -> 11:01.120] we better go back in i can't take this now imagine them out there for an hour and a half going around
[11:01.120 -> 11:06.720] and so more than anything it just shows these guys deserve an incredible amount of respect for what they're doing it's very
[11:06.720 -> 11:12.200] hard it's why there's only 20 Formula One drivers in the world every other
[11:12.200 -> 11:17.000] driver in F2, F3, F4 wants to be an F1 driver and it's up to them to prove
[11:17.000 -> 11:21.720] they're good enough yeah and that is why they are the Formula One drivers it's
[11:21.720 -> 11:25.680] it's amazing it's incredible what they do And it can be lost a lot of the time,
[11:25.680 -> 11:28.600] how hard it is in translation on TV.
[11:28.600 -> 11:31.760] You know, you don't always see what's going on.
[11:31.760 -> 11:33.840] Things like Drive Survive come out at the end of the year.
[11:33.840 -> 11:35.280] You see all the behind the scenes stuff
[11:35.280 -> 11:37.400] that you didn't know was even happening at the time.
[11:37.400 -> 11:40.200] And it, you know, it's an extreme sport.
[11:40.200 -> 11:41.440] I'm glad Lewis did say that.
[11:41.440 -> 11:43.360] I'm glad he didn't come out and go,
[11:43.360 -> 11:45.040] oh, it's too hot, We can't race here, you know
[11:45.040 -> 11:50.660] Do you have any we've we joked about it a few episodes ago when I spoke about the f1 triathlon race?
[11:50.660 -> 11:56.200] Which was a load of baloney, but like what do you think could be done to improve the sport like?
[11:57.480 -> 11:59.340] in the next couple of years
[11:59.340 -> 12:03.360] So I've I've actually been kind of enjoying the sprints a little bit more
[12:03.360 -> 12:11.360] I've been loving this but I've also seen and heard from F1 drivers on the current grid now that even they would
[12:11.360 -> 12:12.760] want a reverse grid.
[12:12.760 -> 12:13.760] Yeah.
[12:13.760 -> 12:18.600] Carlos Sainz, P1 podcaster, Matt and Tommy, he says he would want a reverse grid in the
[12:18.600 -> 12:19.600] sprint.
[12:19.600 -> 12:22.020] Keep it completely separate to the F1.
[12:22.020 -> 12:25.000] It could even be a separate points don't stack across the
[12:25.000 -> 12:26.280] championship why don't you have a sprint
[12:26.280 -> 12:28.040] championship and another championship
[12:28.040 -> 12:29.600] would even give other teams a chance to
[12:29.600 -> 12:31.320] win someone else I don't know maybe they
[12:31.320 -> 12:33.720] do stack I'd love a reverse grid
[12:33.720 -> 12:36.400] just makes so much more sense
[12:36.400 -> 12:38.040] it would bring that middle pack of
[12:38.040 -> 12:40.240] drivers they're between like you
[12:40.240 -> 12:42.160] know three and six drivers in the middle
[12:42.160 -> 12:43.720] into contention a lot and it would make
[12:43.720 -> 12:45.040] it worth it for the teams
[12:45.040 -> 12:47.360] that aren't getting any points out of it at the moment
[12:47.360 -> 12:48.360] or even getting close.
[12:48.360 -> 12:49.720] Cause a lot of them are spending money
[12:49.720 -> 12:52.540] on these sprint races for nothing.
[12:52.540 -> 12:54.760] Like as we know, there's teams in the sprints
[12:54.760 -> 12:56.080] that don't want there to be sprints
[12:56.080 -> 12:58.880] because they're thinking this is such a waste of time.
[12:58.880 -> 12:59.820] It's such a waste of time.
[12:59.820 -> 13:03.200] So how do they make it not a waste of time for them?
[13:03.200 -> 13:05.280] And ultimately I think the sport needs another team.
[13:05.280 -> 13:06.920] I think it needs to be a little, well, like I said,
[13:06.920 -> 13:09.200] I think you need two more teams on the grid,
[13:09.200 -> 13:11.040] couple more drivers.
[13:11.040 -> 13:13.960] I still think the track can look a little bit bare sometimes.
[13:13.960 -> 13:14.800] I don't know.
[13:14.800 -> 13:18.840] It's after basically me and Fab are considering racing
[13:18.840 -> 13:20.860] at some point and we've been watching all these videos,
[13:20.860 -> 13:21.700] haven't we?
[13:21.700 -> 13:22.680] And look how many cars are on the track.
[13:22.680 -> 13:27.400] We've been watching like really low level like the entry-level championships that you could
[13:27.400 -> 13:32.340] get into as a racer. Fucking other Caterhams man yeah the Caterhams like we watch
[13:32.340 -> 13:35.720] everything yeah that's doable and then like you go on YouTube and you type in
[13:35.720 -> 13:40.880] like worst Caterham crashes ever and you see it fucking rolling like ten times. Absolutely not.
[13:40.880 -> 13:45.200] I think we'd need a car that's got windows and is fully surrounded to thank.
[13:45.200 -> 13:47.200] There's a City Car Cup.
[13:47.200 -> 13:50.400] Yeah, me and Fab may go and win the City Car Cup, we're not sure yet.
[13:50.400 -> 13:58.200] I mean, I would love to do that, not only for a great YouTube series for us, but also to shine a light on these lower level racings.
[13:58.200 -> 14:02.200] They just cost a lot of money to get into, even the entry level ones.
[14:02.200 -> 14:05.360] That shocked me, I didn't realise there would be so much money to get into even the entry level ones. That shocked me, I didn't realise there would be so much money to get into.
[14:05.360 -> 14:09.000] You've got to buy the car, which is the main cost, you've got to pay for the races, but
[14:09.000 -> 14:12.880] we would love to film a whole series around us having a go at it.
[14:12.880 -> 14:16.560] Yeah, going back to your question, I think F1 is going to continue to improve but I do
[14:16.560 -> 14:22.240] think reverse grids in the sprint would be absolutely insane really.
[14:22.240 -> 14:27.680] We've had some more breaking news in F1 Academy, Bianca Bustamante has signed for McLaren driver academy
[14:30.840 -> 14:32.880] Off the back of that just quickly
[14:32.880 -> 14:37.720] I don't know if we ever gave congratulations to Gabrielle Bortoletto for signing to McLaren as well
[14:37.720 -> 14:39.720] I don't know if we did
[14:42.400 -> 14:45.840] The f1 academy drivers are out in Texas at the moment because F1
[14:45.840 -> 14:50.360] Academy has announced that next year it will be joining along with the F1 calendar for
[14:50.360 -> 14:56.340] seven races, Saudi Arabia, Miami, Spain, Netherlands, Singapore, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, which is going
[14:56.340 -> 15:01.120] to be much better for F1 Academy as we know this year. It was hard to watch it, but they're
[15:01.120 -> 15:08.520] going to be live broadcasting some of their races I believe on YouTube I think this final race of the F1 Academy season is going
[15:08.520 -> 15:13.640] to be on YouTube I'm not 100% sure check that I don't I just don't get why they
[15:13.640 -> 15:17.400] just it can't be on F1 next year it will be it's going to follow with the races
[15:17.400 -> 15:20.080] I'm pretty sure right but I think they're going to broadcast one whole one
[15:20.080 -> 15:24.320] live on YouTube this year to show everyone which is good and I do like the
[15:24.320 -> 15:25.880] way the F1 teams are gonna get involved
[15:25.880 -> 15:27.800] with it and you're gonna have like a McLaren driver,
[15:27.800 -> 15:28.640] a Ferrari driver.
[15:28.640 -> 15:29.920] So let's see.
[15:29.920 -> 15:30.760] Let's see.
[15:30.760 -> 15:33.120] It's just still really weird to me how it's still separate.
[15:33.120 -> 15:33.960] Like I'm great.
[15:33.960 -> 15:34.800] I love it.
[15:34.800 -> 15:36.960] I love F1 Academy, the initiative behind it and stuff,
[15:36.960 -> 15:38.800] but it's just like, I just don't want it to be separate.
[15:38.800 -> 15:43.640] I think if it is, then they should fuck off like F4 and F3
[15:43.640 -> 15:47.640] and they should have F1 Academy all girls and then like maybe f2
[15:47.920 -> 15:52.820] Or the equivalent. It's not meant to be a all boys. I don't think they see it as like a
[15:53.300 -> 15:59.800] Meant to be a separate championship. I think it's meant to be like almost an it's an Academy like it's set up
[16:00.320 -> 16:05.000] To get these drivers ready to compete in the F4s and the F3s.
[16:05.000 -> 16:06.760] Well, it's the equivalent to F4.
[16:06.760 -> 16:10.520] F1 Academy, so if you win F1 Academy,
[16:10.520 -> 16:11.360] You go into F3, right?
[16:11.360 -> 16:12.320] F3, yeah, you skip F4.
[16:12.320 -> 16:15.380] So we should see Marta Garcia in F3 next year,
[16:15.380 -> 16:16.720] where she's gonna win F1 Academy,
[16:16.720 -> 16:17.920] which is gonna be exciting.
[16:17.920 -> 16:18.760] That would be sick.
[16:18.760 -> 16:19.640] That will be really good.
[16:19.640 -> 16:22.280] Marta Garcia, we really want you on the podcast.
[16:22.280 -> 16:24.120] Please come on the podcast.
[16:24.120 -> 16:26.280] Any of you, to be honest. Yeah. You can all come on. It any of you to be honest yeah you can all come on it'd
[16:26.280 -> 16:27.880] be great to have a group of them on yeah
[16:27.880 -> 16:29.400] no it's gonna be excited to see what
[16:29.400 -> 16:31.200] happens in F1 Academy Daniel Ricciardo
[16:31.200 -> 16:34.880] is back in the AlphaTauri
[16:34.880 -> 16:36.880] how the fuck you going?
[16:36.880 -> 16:39.200] now what is he gonna do because the AlphaTauri
[16:39.200 -> 16:42.000] has we've Liam Lawson has been pulling
[16:42.000 -> 16:43.520] points out there's a lot of pressure on
[16:43.520 -> 16:45.100] Ricky yeah there, there is.
[16:45.100 -> 16:46.100] There really is, mate.
[16:46.100 -> 16:48.300] He needs to not only perform,
[16:48.300 -> 16:51.500] he needs to perform better than the guy who hopped in his seat for fucking four hours.
[16:51.500 -> 16:53.500] He really does, mate. He really does.
[16:53.500 -> 16:55.600] Like, there's no room for error
[16:55.600 -> 16:57.300] because that AlphaTauri's been getting quicker
[16:57.300 -> 16:59.000] and Liam is going to be right there,
[16:59.000 -> 17:00.800] standing in that AlphaTauri garage,
[17:00.800 -> 17:03.900] knocking on the door if it's worse than his performance.
[17:03.900 -> 17:10.540] Also, we know Daniel Ricciardo is Australian but he's essentially American. Okay. How'd you get there?
[17:10.540 -> 17:13.560] Because he loves it every time he goes out of Austin he's always working
[17:13.560 -> 17:17.620] 9-5 he's always got the boots, the fucking moustache, the cowboy hat.
[17:17.620 -> 17:21.920] He's up for every video. When did he walk into the paddock on a horse? I know. Was it this year or last year?
[17:21.920 -> 17:26.740] Was it Miami? He walked into a paddock on a horse, yeah, last year. No, he was or last year was it Miami to a paddock on a horse? Yeah last year No, it was out last horsey mchorse face before
[17:28.060 -> 17:30.060] They wasn't out last year
[17:30.100 -> 17:33.880] Lose these years man. I forget we've been watching f1 for like three years time goes quick
[17:33.880 -> 17:38.580] There's a time goes quick the fact that max forstappen's won three championships in the time that we've started watching properly
[17:38.580 -> 17:43.240] Yeah, I know Sergio Perez came out. That's crazy actually because we're the year we were watching we had no idea
[17:43.240 -> 17:46.580] Did we then out nowhere? We've literally been here through the whole
[17:46.580 -> 17:47.420] Max Verstappen dominance.
[17:47.420 -> 17:48.500] And do you know what's crazy,
[17:48.500 -> 17:50.520] is like to people like us who haven't watched
[17:50.520 -> 17:52.500] the whole history of F1,
[17:52.500 -> 17:55.160] the people that stand out are like the Schumachers
[17:55.160 -> 17:57.780] and the Lewis Hamilton's, you know.
[17:57.780 -> 18:01.800] And sometimes if someone has won just one championship,
[18:01.800 -> 18:03.800] they almost fall by the wayside a little bit.
[18:03.800 -> 18:08.480] When you have to remember, this guy won a Formula One
[18:08.480 -> 18:11.320] world championship, but you almost forget,
[18:11.320 -> 18:13.960] you know, like when we were on the plane back from Qatar,
[18:13.960 -> 18:15.520] I was watching that at the F1 stuff
[18:15.520 -> 18:17.760] because there was an F1 tab on the thing.
[18:17.760 -> 18:21.920] And there was some stuff around like the controversy
[18:21.920 -> 18:23.760] about the Abu Dhabi stuff, 2021,
[18:23.760 -> 18:29.840] but then it was going back and looking at other world champions and like Jacques Villeneuve I'm fairly sure
[18:29.840 -> 18:36.360] he's won two maybe three but I'm fairly sure it's two now I'm sure to like f1
[18:36.360 -> 18:41.120] purists who love f1 and they know this guy but like we don't we know the name
[18:41.120 -> 18:45.120] but we don't really know much about this dude. I think he's Canadian.
[18:45.120 -> 18:47.520] Yeah, you just don't have to know though.
[18:47.520 -> 18:51.920] We're dug at and people would say we should know because we have a show bro, but like
[18:52.960 -> 18:57.040] about music you wouldn't know all the history to dates of who played what, who did what.
[18:57.040 -> 19:02.000] About football, I'm an Arsenal fan, I couldn't tell you all the years we won the league before
[19:02.000 -> 19:04.640] I was born, you know, I wouldn't be able to tell you.
[19:04.640 -> 19:09.160] So in F1 you wouldn't be able to say it either. That's absolutely fine, everyone has different
[19:09.160 -> 19:15.040] levels of knowing what. I just think it's more sad when someone like Bottas was an amazing
[19:15.040 -> 19:16.240] driver for so long.
[19:16.240 -> 19:17.240] And was so close.
[19:17.240 -> 19:19.520] Yeah, but didn't win a championship.
[19:19.520 -> 19:20.520] That's really sad.
[19:20.520 -> 19:24.880] And because of it, he just doesn't really get spoke about now. Like, you don't really
[19:24.880 -> 19:26.440] see much about Bottas
[19:26.440 -> 19:27.280] or even hear about him.
[19:27.280 -> 19:29.640] It's like a Perez situation as well.
[19:29.640 -> 19:32.040] Yeah, well Perez came out yesterday, media day
[19:32.040 -> 19:37.040] and said he will 100% be a Red Bull driver next year.
[19:37.720 -> 19:41.920] Well, this leads off the back of the rumors that came out,
[19:41.920 -> 19:43.680] I think only last week.
[19:43.680 -> 19:45.780] So for anyone who doesn't know,
[19:45.780 -> 19:47.540] Checo is a paid driver.
[19:48.680 -> 19:52.740] He got his seat through Telmex,
[19:52.740 -> 19:55.640] which is the same as Pietro Fittipaldi,
[19:55.640 -> 19:56.480] who came on our pod.
[19:56.480 -> 19:58.840] The Mexican guy that wants an F1 World Champion basically,
[19:58.840 -> 19:59.680] has funded it, yeah.
[19:59.680 -> 20:01.840] Yeah, yeah, so if anyone hasn't checked out
[20:01.840 -> 20:03.440] the Pietro Fittipaldi episode we did,
[20:03.440 -> 20:05.160] let's scroll down a little bit on
[20:05.480 -> 20:10.840] Whatever you're streaming on or go to YouTube. Go watch it on YouTube, it's the fastest lap. It's wild. Yeah, it's mega
[20:10.840 -> 20:12.840] Probably shouldn't have spilt that but probably shouldn't have spilt that
[20:13.760 -> 20:19.720] So yeah, Telmex, like a telecommunications company out of Mexico, right? And yeah, they're paying for Checo
[20:20.040 -> 20:23.160] wanting to be world champion. Someone went on Reddit and
[20:24.240 -> 20:25.560] They basically leaked
[20:25.560 -> 20:27.040] some information that they had dinner
[20:27.040 -> 20:28.920] with someone very high up at Telmex
[20:28.920 -> 20:29.760] and they told this person.
[20:29.760 -> 20:32.240] Did they? Was it you who wrote this on Reddit?
[20:32.240 -> 20:33.680] Anyone could write on Reddit.
[20:33.680 -> 20:35.200] The name, MrRich69.
[20:35.200 -> 20:36.040] No, no.
[20:36.040 -> 20:37.120] No.
[20:37.120 -> 20:38.640] Giving away his only fan username.
[20:38.640 -> 20:43.640] Oi, they said that they had basically spilled the beans
[20:44.040 -> 20:46.600] that Checo's gonna retire in Mexico,
[20:46.600 -> 20:49.120] announce his retirement in Mexico.
[20:49.120 -> 20:49.960] Okay.
[20:49.960 -> 20:51.240] Which is obviously a load of baloney now
[20:51.240 -> 20:52.720] that he's come out and said that.
[20:52.720 -> 20:56.020] Well, I think that original thing would be
[20:56.020 -> 20:56.980] a load of rubbish.
[20:56.980 -> 20:59.440] I don't think he'd announced retirement at his home race.
[20:59.440 -> 21:01.520] He'll be going into his home race wanting to win it.
[21:01.520 -> 21:02.680] You know, he's not gonna be thinking,
[21:02.680 -> 21:04.440] I'm gonna say I'm gonna retire.
[21:04.440 -> 21:07.080] But I would say the lie is more,
[21:07.080 -> 21:09.040] I'm a hundred percent going to be a Red Bull driver
[21:09.040 -> 21:10.500] next year.
[21:10.500 -> 21:11.520] My personal opinion-
[21:11.520 -> 21:12.760] Nothing is a hundred percent.
[21:12.760 -> 21:14.320] Yeah, nothing is a hundred-
[21:14.320 -> 21:15.720] Every single driver on the grid
[21:15.720 -> 21:17.440] that has a contract for next year,
[21:17.440 -> 21:20.000] I still don't believe all of them are a hundred percent.
[21:20.000 -> 21:21.640] We've seen contracts can be turned up.
[21:21.640 -> 21:22.480] You can change it.
[21:22.480 -> 21:23.880] You can buy someone out of a contract.
[21:23.880 -> 21:24.800] Much can be done.
[21:24.800 -> 21:25.800] Seats come and go, mate. Seats come and go, mate.
[21:25.800 -> 21:26.800] Seats come and go, mate.
[21:26.800 -> 21:29.200] You never know what's happening, but...
[21:29.200 -> 21:35.200] I... if Perez makes any more big mistakes this year and doesn't podium,
[21:35.200 -> 21:37.200] I think this race is key.
[21:37.200 -> 21:40.400] If Perez doesn't podium this race,
[21:40.400 -> 21:42.600] there's gonna be big problems.
[21:42.600 -> 21:46.700] I genuinely... the crystal ball is telling me, I might be
[21:46.700 -> 21:51.900] wrong, crystal ball tells me Perez isn't there next year. And that's where I'm at with it.
[21:51.900 -> 21:53.700] Jesus mate, you can't just drop that.
[21:53.700 -> 21:55.900] Well we've been saying it all year and it's come down to this.
[21:55.900 -> 21:56.900] You can't just drop that now.
[21:56.900 -> 22:02.100] But then is it even fair to say that? Because the Giza's second in the championship, he's
[22:02.100 -> 22:06.360] 30 points clearer of Hamilton. The guy who is behind Max,
[22:06.360 -> 22:08.760] who is clearly the best driver on the grid right now.
[22:08.760 -> 22:09.600] Well, hang on though.
[22:09.600 -> 22:10.420] Is second.
[22:10.420 -> 22:11.260] Hang on though,
[22:11.260 -> 22:13.360] because 30 points clear of Hamilton isn't a lot.
[22:13.360 -> 22:14.880] And when you look at the points difference
[22:14.880 -> 22:17.640] between Checo and Max, it's a lot.
[22:17.640 -> 22:18.600] Almost double.
[22:18.600 -> 22:19.840] Max has almost double.
[22:19.840 -> 22:22.360] So his teammate is almost double in front of him.
[22:22.360 -> 22:23.200] Yep.
[22:23.200 -> 22:27.360] Checo's only 30 points ahead of Lewis, which to be honest, we've seen at the start of this
[22:27.360 -> 22:29.000] year and for most of the year, the car's been shite.
[22:29.000 -> 22:33.400] Well, a good way to put it is he's less than 40 points ahead of Alonso, and Alonso hasn't
[22:33.400 -> 22:35.160] done barely anything for a while.
[22:35.160 -> 22:36.480] Yeah, so actually...
[22:36.480 -> 22:37.480] Which I know hurts you to hear.
[22:37.480 -> 22:39.600] That's not a bit of a record at all, to be honest.
[22:39.600 -> 22:41.520] Well, do you think he'll be there next year?
[22:41.520 -> 22:48.100] What about if he does amazing performances for us this year, does he stay? The thing with Checo is where else can he go? He's been
[22:48.100 -> 22:55.240] through the lower teams, he's been in worse cars, he's had an amazing stint at
[22:55.240 -> 22:58.580] Red Bull. We've seen people like Alex Albon and Pierre Gasly get the chance to
[22:58.580 -> 23:02.440] have the seat at Red Bull and they blow it, or at least you know for whatever
[23:02.440 -> 23:07.600] reason it didn't last very long. Checo's had ages at Red Bull. He's still done nothing.
[23:07.600 -> 23:12.600] Checo to Al Fatauri, Liam Lawson to Williams, Daniel Ricciardo to Red Bull.
[23:12.600 -> 23:13.600] No.
[23:13.600 -> 23:14.100] No?
[23:14.100 -> 23:14.800] No, mate.
[23:14.800 -> 23:15.800] Where does that go wrong?
[23:15.800 -> 23:18.600] Danny Rick doesn't need to go back to fucking Red Bull.
[23:18.600 -> 23:20.600] I don't think that- I think Danny Rick will.
[23:21.400 -> 23:25.600] I don't think he does. I don't think he should. For a start, I don't think he should.
[23:25.600 -> 23:29.760] Whether I think he will, no, there's people more deserving of that seat. Who?

[24:58.240 -> 24:59.520] Who would you give it to?
[24:59.520 -> 25:02.040] That Red Bull seat comes open,
[25:02.040 -> 25:05.000] golden chair is open, who sits down?
[25:05.480 -> 25:09.040] I honestly think if it was put, I know people always talk
[25:09.040 -> 25:12.840] about Lando and how like, what's the word?
[25:12.840 -> 25:15.840] How loyal he is to McLaren.
[25:15.840 -> 25:19.200] But when you've got a teammate who's a rookie,
[25:19.200 -> 25:22.860] who comes in and does that, you know,
[25:22.860 -> 25:25.000] and gets a win before you,
[25:25.040 -> 25:28.960] then I think if Lando really pushed hard
[25:28.960 -> 25:30.540] and the car came together next year,
[25:30.540 -> 25:31.600] which is looking like it will,
[25:31.600 -> 25:33.880] cause it's done really well at the end of this year,
[25:33.880 -> 25:36.220] then there's a good chance he will stick around
[25:36.220 -> 25:37.520] and try and win it in that McLaren.
[25:37.520 -> 25:38.640] But if Fred Bull were like,
[25:38.640 -> 25:40.880] look mate, we've got an open seat,
[25:40.880 -> 25:44.360] you're going to be a secondary driver to Max Verstappen,
[25:44.360 -> 25:45.160] I honestly think
[25:45.160 -> 25:50.680] Lando would take a handful of wins next year or at least like multiple podiums
[25:50.680 -> 25:56.200] and not get the chance to win the winner a world championship because Max is
[25:56.200 -> 25:59.320] gonna get it because he was never gonna win a championship in a McLaren anyway I
[25:59.320 -> 26:03.960] think Lando would happily take that secondary driver seat and beat Oscar and
[26:03.960 -> 26:06.280] maybe win a few races and
[26:06.280 -> 26:08.480] not be world champion but it's fine because it's the match for Stephanie Riggs.
[26:08.480 -> 26:13.680] Well that would really make a silly season. If Lando left then who goes to McLaren? It
[26:13.680 -> 26:14.680] would be wild.
[26:14.680 -> 26:15.680] I've told you mate.
[26:15.680 -> 26:16.680] Who?
[26:16.680 -> 26:17.680] Freddie Hunt.
[26:17.680 -> 26:22.360] Freddie Hunt. Freddie Hunt is the only answer. No it's definitely going to be some crazy
[26:22.360 -> 26:25.000] moves as we know there's a free Williams seat, but I think...
[26:25.000 -> 26:31.000] Or, my dream would be Alonso to Red Bull. That would really mess stuff up.
[26:31.000 -> 26:32.000] That would really spice stuff up.
[26:32.000 -> 26:35.000] It would really, because Max then would have a fucking run for the money.
[26:35.000 -> 26:40.000] Well, the best thing the sport could possibly do, for everyone, there might be people that would disagree,
[26:40.000 -> 26:45.200] but I think Lewis Hamilton in the other Red Bull it would just make
[26:45.200 -> 26:49.720] for the most exciting season for one year you would have both the best
[26:49.720 -> 26:58.000] drivers maybe ever in the same car racing it would be crazy it would be
[26:58.000 -> 27:08.160] maybe even a bit dangerous Christian would be completely white, like his hair would be fully grey by the end of the season. But how amazing would it be from a fan's point of view?
[27:08.160 -> 27:12.480] It would be mega, it would be mega, but again it's Red Bull.
[27:12.480 -> 27:16.480] You don't always want Red Bull, you want another team to be challenging them.
[27:16.480 -> 27:21.280] So if the Mercedes is great next year, hopefully it is, and Lewis stays, and then they're still battling.
[27:21.280 -> 27:24.960] I reckon the McLaren will be right there next year. That's why I think Lando will stay.
[27:24.960 -> 27:26.880] But let's see if that if you are
[27:26.880 -> 27:30.480] right if that Red Bull seat did open up then I'm pretty sure every driver on
[27:30.480 -> 27:33.560] the grid would have to have a double look at the contract you know the
[27:33.560 -> 27:37.080] numbers are probably gonna be higher than every other team for money the car's
[27:37.080 -> 27:40.600] gonna be quicker. Yeah all eyes are gonna be on Logan Sargent he could take the
[27:40.600 -> 27:46.720] Red Bull seat. Maybe, maybe who knows? Breaking news! A surprise return
[27:46.720 -> 27:51.120] from Nicholas Satifi, you never know what could happen. Yeah, Nicholas Satifi would
[27:51.120 -> 27:54.960] be up for the challenge. Alpine have had a little bit of an investment haven't they?
[27:54.960 -> 27:59.880] They have indeed. From a couple of sports superstars including Rory... Stay humble.
[27:59.880 -> 28:04.680] Yeah. Stay humble. Stay humble. Including Rory McIlroy, the golf player. And Lissie
[28:04.680 -> 28:06.000] McIntosh. Lissie McIntosh.
[28:06.000 -> 28:08.000] Lissie McIntosh didn't invest in Alpine. That's a lie.
[28:08.000 -> 28:10.000] Anthony Joshua did. Yep.
[28:10.000 -> 28:12.000] Juan Mata did, the ex-Man United player.
[28:12.000 -> 28:14.000] Right. Trent Alexander-Arnold.
[28:14.000 -> 28:16.000] A couple of NFL players.
[28:16.000 -> 28:18.000] The Gies are dating Taylor Swift, Az.
[28:18.000 -> 28:20.000] Who's that? Alonso?
[28:20.000 -> 28:22.000] No, Alonso isn't dating Taylor Swift anymore.
[28:22.000 -> 28:24.000] She's dating someone in NFL. Oh, really?
[28:24.000 -> 28:27.840] Yeah. Wow. He looks like he'd flatten the flat on Fernando Alonso with his big thumb.
[28:27.840 -> 28:29.280] Nah, Fernando just ran away.
[28:29.280 -> 28:33.560] Alpine have had a big investment from some sports stars, that's interesting to see.
[28:33.560 -> 28:35.800] That is interesting to see, who else was it?
[28:35.800 -> 28:37.560] What, they've had done that?
[28:37.560 -> 28:38.060] Yeah.
[28:38.060 -> 28:39.680] It was Alpine again before, wasn't it?
[28:39.680 -> 28:41.680] So they've had, so they've had...
[28:41.680 -> 28:42.880] They've, they like...
[28:42.880 -> 28:51.400] Ricky Gervais, whatever his fucking name is, Ryan like Ricky Gervais whatever his fucking name Ryan Reynolds yeah has invested in Alpine as well or is that another team?
[28:51.400 -> 28:55.280] no it was Alpine mate. I'm pretty sure it was Alpine. Was it AlphaTauri? No it was Alpine.
[28:55.280 -> 28:59.200] it was Alpine so where are you getting your facts from? They're getting all the
[28:59.200 -> 29:03.120] cash in then aren't they? From all these different people. Sounds like they're
[29:03.120 -> 29:07.960] clutching at straws to me. Where's that money gonna go money doesn't create success a lot of
[29:07.960 -> 29:09.580] the time I think in Formula One it
[29:09.580 -> 29:11.360] probably does mate it doesn't mate
[29:11.360 -> 29:12.840] because you can have all the money in
[29:12.840 -> 29:15.360] the world but you don't have Adrian Newey
[29:15.360 -> 29:18.840] hand drawing which I don't know if
[29:18.840 -> 29:20.160] it's true by the way I don't know if Rob just
[29:20.160 -> 29:21.560] made it up or not but I'm fairly sure I
[29:21.560 -> 29:24.400] read he hand draws he goes to
[29:24.400 -> 29:27.000] bed where have you heard this he goes to bed. Wait, wait, wait, hang on, where have you heard this?
[29:27.000 -> 29:30.260] He goes to bed on Boxing Day, and then he has a dream.
[29:30.260 -> 29:31.220] Once a year, just Boxing Day?
[29:31.220 -> 29:32.580] Yeah, just once a year, Christmas morning,
[29:32.580 -> 29:34.340] he wakes up and he, with his eyes closed.
[29:34.340 -> 29:37.060] That's funny, Boxing Day's after Christmas.
[29:37.060 -> 29:39.100] What does he do, wait until the next year?
[29:39.100 -> 29:40.580] He goes to sleep on Boxing Day,
[29:40.580 -> 29:42.340] and he sleeps for the next four days,
[29:42.340 -> 29:48.400] wakes up on January 1st at 3 a.m., and he sits down at his desk with his eyes closed. He has 31 days in December
[29:50.140 -> 29:53.780] The fucking the front end of the car the aerodynamics
[29:54.840 -> 29:56.640] That's what I heard
[29:56.640 -> 29:59.680] So what he does is he actually has to what pen does he is?
[29:59.680 -> 30:04.760] No, he has two pieces of paper set up side by side right a free a to a three
[30:04.760 -> 30:05.360] He's got a blue pen in one hand and a red one in the other and he So he has two pieces of paper set up side by side, right? A3, A2? A3.
[30:05.360 -> 30:11.080] He's got a blue pen in one hand and a red one in the other and he simultaneously draws
[30:11.080 -> 30:12.960] the car, the aerodynamics of the car.
[30:12.960 -> 30:17.360] For those watching, Fab is sat here, sat up with both arms in the air, eyes shut like
[30:17.360 -> 30:20.000] a conductor of a band, showing you what he does.
[30:20.000 -> 30:22.660] At the end, it's on tracing paper by the way.
[30:22.660 -> 30:23.660] Tracing paper!
[30:23.660 -> 30:30.120] And then what he does is he merges both drawings at the end red and blue so and then he puts
[30:30.120 -> 30:34.820] 3D glasses on. I have heard about the 3D glasses to be fair and they're from
[30:34.820 -> 30:39.240] Cineworld they're not just not expensive 3D glasses they're from Cineworld. No it's an Odeon.
[30:39.240 -> 30:44.280] Odeon ones. Odeon ones yeah. So we can just see like a 3D representation of the
[30:44.280 -> 30:45.000] car for next year.
[30:45.000 -> 30:49.240] Wow and what do they do when Adrian Newey leaves? Because that's gonna be a big
[30:49.240 -> 30:53.240] tumble down the championship. They're gonna need, surely every team must have
[30:53.240 -> 30:57.600] their Adrian Newey, do you know what I mean? I don't know all the other teams but
[30:57.600 -> 31:02.560] every team must have an Adrian Newey. Yeah for sure. So who is like
[31:02.560 -> 31:05.200] McLaren's because they're doing a good job at the moment.
[31:07.200 -> 31:08.700] Yeah, it's like that Steven Seagal, isn't it? Adam Seagal, I think.
[31:08.700 -> 31:09.700] Adam Seagal.
[31:09.700 -> 31:13.900] Adam Seagal, yeah, I think the rumours of Benotto returning to Ferrari have died down.
[31:14.200 -> 31:15.900] So that's, that's interesting.
[31:16.400 -> 31:17.800] I would like to see Benotto back in the sport.
[31:17.800 -> 31:18.700] Do you know what's crazy?
[31:18.700 -> 31:21.400] I don't feel like we have spoken about Ferrari all year.
[31:21.400 -> 31:23.700] We haven't, we haven't spoken about Ferrari all year.
[31:23.900 -> 31:29.080] Literally, there's been not a lot to say really. It's almost like they just pop up
[31:29.080 -> 31:31.640] here and there, they're good again and then they're back down and they're good
[31:31.640 -> 31:35.400] again and then Carlos Sainz goes and wins. I mean at least they got a win. I
[31:35.400 -> 31:40.640] mean the fact Carlos Sainz won stopped Red Bull's ridiculous streak, who
[31:40.640 -> 31:44.920] knows how long that streak could have gone. Yeah. So I am I am happy they won. I
[31:44.920 -> 31:48.520] don't really know where Ferrari are at maybe they just need a
[31:48.520 -> 31:52.560] big change there's a Ferrari movie coming out which I'm excited for yep
[31:52.560 -> 31:56.440] that's gonna be really good fun about all the Ferraris just about the history
[31:56.440 -> 32:01.640] of Enzo Ferrari I think well you always said the history of Enzo Ferrari was he
[32:01.640 -> 32:08.120] just wants the quickest car and that it was like the quickest car on the straight wasn't it when he's side by side with
[32:08.120 -> 32:12.560] the car Enzo Ferrari wants to make sure his car is the quickest yeah and sadly
[32:12.560 -> 32:16.200] right now Ferrari isn't that so I'm sure that's what they're working towards in
[32:16.200 -> 32:19.280] the factory well what else is waiting maybe it's because they haven't got
[32:19.280 -> 32:25.920] like Pietro said on the pod he said the food in the Ferrari factory isn't very what did he
[32:25.920 -> 32:29.880] say isn't very stimulating doesn't excite you very much
[32:29.880 -> 32:33.640] ham and cheese sarnie with no mayo maybe that's the change maybe in the Ferrari
[32:33.640 -> 32:38.520] factory they ditch the sandwiches and start going to caviar and lobster and
[32:38.520 -> 32:43.360] champagne champagne yeah bring back pit stops where they refuel as well that's
[32:43.360 -> 32:45.320] what me and fab have decided. Bring back cigars.
[32:45.320 -> 32:47.200] If we do enter any form of racing series,
[32:47.200 -> 32:50.160] we're going to bring back champagne and caviar, aren't we?
[32:50.160 -> 32:51.880] Yeah, we definitely are.
[32:51.880 -> 32:54.240] I hope some of you guys would come watch us.
[32:54.240 -> 32:56.480] If me and Fab did some racing anywhere,
[32:56.480 -> 32:58.400] I hope some of you guys would come and watch.
[32:58.400 -> 32:59.240] I would die.
[32:59.240 -> 33:00.320] Because there was that French lad,
[33:00.320 -> 33:01.840] I think his name's Squeezy.
[33:01.840 -> 33:06.400] He put on, it was called the,
[33:06.400 -> 33:07.560] I can't even remember what it's called now,
[33:07.560 -> 33:10.280] but he put on his own equivalent to F4 race
[33:10.280 -> 33:13.360] with 20 YouTubers, mate.
[33:13.360 -> 33:15.320] And this, if anyone hasn't seen it, check it out.
[33:15.320 -> 33:16.320] It is nuts.
[33:16.320 -> 33:19.120] They sold out a whole racetrack.
[33:19.120 -> 33:20.320] The grandstands were full.
[33:20.320 -> 33:23.480] Pierre Gasly and Ocon came out to hand the trophy out.
[33:23.480 -> 33:24.440] That's unbelievable.
[33:24.440 -> 33:27.400] Absolutely insane how anyone could, a YouTuber could do that.
[33:27.400 -> 33:29.900] YouTubers are very incredible people now.
[33:29.900 -> 33:32.200] We've seen them put on boxing fights all around the world.
[33:32.200 -> 33:34.000] Yeah, we saw how great KSI is at the ring.
[33:34.000 -> 33:37.400] Oh my God, did anyone watch that YouTuber boxing shit?
[33:37.400 -> 33:41.800] Oh my God, hands down, mark my words, I will fight anyone by the way.
[33:41.800 -> 33:44.800] If there's anyone listening that wants to do it, I will fight anyone.
[33:44.800 -> 33:45.440] Oh my God, you've just said that. I'd get in the ring with anyone, no problem. I'd love the training listening that wants to do it I will fight anyone. Oh my god
[33:45.440 -> 33:48.640] You've just said that I'd get in the ring with anyone. No problem. I'd love the training
[33:48.640 -> 33:53.160] I wouldn't care whether I win or lose. Right, this is it. Jake boys is now calling out any
[33:53.680 -> 33:57.120] Youtuber who wants to fight. Yeah, I would die
[33:57.120 -> 33:59.120] to see this
[33:59.120 -> 34:01.120] I would absolutely die
[34:01.120 -> 34:05.000] Or I'll fight anyone bro, anyone. I will fight anyone. Boxing or MMA?
[34:05.000 -> 34:09.000] I would actually probably rather do MMA but I'd happily do boxing.
[34:09.000 -> 34:11.000] Bro, you have got, you've got pretty much no gloves in MMA.
[34:11.000 -> 34:15.000] Yeah, I'd rather do that because I'd just wrap someone up, Jake the Snake. I'm like a boa constrictor mate.
[34:15.000 -> 34:17.000] Someone could just sock you straight in the mouth.
[34:17.000 -> 34:19.000] Wouldn't get the chance. I'd fly kick them.
[34:19.000 -> 34:21.000] Really? You've got the form, you've got the...
[34:21.000 -> 34:26.080] Trust me bro, years and years of fighting on my Bravo on the trampoline when I was younger
[34:26.080 -> 34:27.400] has built me up to this.
[34:27.400 -> 34:28.240] You think you're ready?
[34:28.240 -> 34:29.840] Yeah mate, 100%.
[34:29.840 -> 34:33.920] I swear to God, someone please click this
[34:33.920 -> 34:35.640] and send it around fucking Twitter
[34:35.640 -> 34:37.520] because I would absolutely die
[34:37.520 -> 34:38.880] because once you call someone out mate,
[34:38.880 -> 34:39.720] you can't then turn it down.
[34:39.720 -> 34:40.680] Well I haven't called anyone out yet.
[34:40.680 -> 34:41.680] You've called out anyone.
[34:41.680 -> 34:42.520] I've called out everyone.
[34:42.520 -> 34:45.320] You said anyone, anyone who wants to fight.
[34:45.320 -> 34:46.600] Who would I fight?
[34:46.600 -> 34:50.400] I'd absolutely fight Deji, KSI's brother.
[34:50.400 -> 34:52.240] Really? Absolutely.
[34:52.240 -> 34:54.720] I would absolutely fight half the people
[34:54.720 -> 34:57.800] on that undercard of that boxing thing the other day.
[34:57.800 -> 34:59.120] All, most of them.
[34:59.120 -> 35:00.920] I'd love to see you fight an F1 driver.
[35:00.920 -> 35:02.880] Yeah, Yuki.
[35:02.880 -> 35:04.560] Oh, Yuki's pretty nuts.
[35:04.560 -> 35:06.460] That's unfair mate. I don't know if you quite
[35:06.460 -> 35:10.620] make the same way he would not make the
[35:10.620 -> 35:12.180] same but I know fucking have you about
[35:12.180 -> 35:14.460] three seconds I wouldn't fight Fernando
[35:14.460 -> 35:16.060] long so I'm sure it's like max what I
[35:16.060 -> 35:18.600] fear now we would have other max what I
[35:18.600 -> 35:20.380] feel I think you got your best chance
[35:20.380 -> 35:28.640] against Alex Alpern large drop I don I don't know man, you're really underestimating me
[35:28.640 -> 35:33.200] maybe Lance Stroll, have you not seen the right hook? you'd have a good go against Oscar
[35:34.000 -> 35:38.960] Matty I'm thinking I'm not gonna fight an F1 driver that's shorter than me I'll take on someone
[35:38.960 -> 35:46.600] bigger than me just set someone set the. Yeah, and hopefully no one clips this. I really hope this gets clipped up.
[35:46.600 -> 35:47.880] The Austin Grand Prix!
[35:47.880 -> 35:49.320] Austin Grand Prix.
[35:49.320 -> 35:50.160] It's gonna be a good one.
[35:50.160 -> 35:51.200] Sprint weekend.
[35:51.200 -> 35:52.800] And it's a party city.
[35:52.800 -> 35:53.620] I know.
[35:53.620 -> 35:55.120] This is the place on the calendar
[35:55.120 -> 35:57.560] to fucking let your hair down and get your,
[35:58.760 -> 35:59.800] just do what you want.
[35:59.800 -> 36:01.080] Yeah, back around all the lot.
[36:01.080 -> 36:01.920] Yeah.
[36:01.920 -> 36:02.740] Should we give our predictions?
[36:02.740 -> 36:03.660] Working nine till five.
[36:03.660 -> 36:04.640] Yes, mate, let's do it.
[36:04.640 -> 36:05.340] Who have you got in third? Well, I'm gonna start from first Bakaru all the lot. Yeah. Should we give our predictions? Working nine till five. Yes, mate. Let's do it.
[36:05.340 -> 36:06.180] Who have you got in third?
[36:06.180 -> 36:09.400] Well, I'm going to start from first
[36:09.400 -> 36:11.560] because it's kind of plain and obvious.
[36:11.560 -> 36:14.080] I mean, the McLarens probably aren't going to be as quick
[36:14.080 -> 36:15.800] here, it's a bit of a bumpy circuit.
[36:15.800 -> 36:17.880] They're not going to be as quick as the other two races.
[36:17.880 -> 36:18.720] So.
[36:18.720 -> 36:19.540] It's a bit of a bumpy circuit, is it?
[36:19.540 -> 36:20.380] Yeah, it is.
[36:20.380 -> 36:23.220] So Max first, I think that'll be ran away with.
[36:24.240 -> 36:29.200] And then I reckon the one and only,
[36:29.200 -> 36:31.880] George Russell in second.
[36:33.200 -> 36:38.200] And then I reckon in third place, Lando Norris.
[36:38.280 -> 36:41.820] Lando Norris is gonna have his cowboy hat on in the podium.
[36:41.820 -> 36:44.760] So Max, Russell, and Norris.
[36:44.760 -> 36:45.920] Max, Russell, and Norris. Max Russell and Norris
[36:45.920 -> 36:50.240] not a bad lineup not a bad lineup. Oscar's right there as well in fourth.
[36:50.240 -> 36:55.840] mm-hmm so I'm thinking it's a big track it's not one of these old-school ones
[36:55.840 -> 37:11.160] where it's like really you know narrow so I'm putting Max first in second position but I don't know no no no I don't think so second position I'm
[37:11.160 -> 37:16.000] going for Lou Ham yep nice nice that what you did no I did Russell George
[37:16.000 -> 37:21.400] I'm going Lou Ham third position I'm going Oscar Piastri okay interesting
[37:21.400 -> 37:27.920] isn't it funny how we just both completely Lewis Oscar we both just completely wipe out the thought of Perez being on the podium, even though
[37:27.920 -> 37:29.400] he's in the quickest car.
[37:29.400 -> 37:30.920] I don't want it to happen, mate.
[37:30.920 -> 37:31.920] I want him...
[37:31.920 -> 37:32.920] Honestly, I just...
[37:32.920 -> 37:33.920] I don't know.
[37:33.920 -> 37:38.560] It's nothing against him, you know, it's more against like, you know, just Red Bull.
[37:38.560 -> 37:42.320] Like, I just want to see someone else f*** it up a little bit.
[37:42.320 -> 37:43.600] You just want someone else in that seat?
[37:43.600 -> 37:44.600] I just want something fresh.
[37:44.600 -> 37:46.920] I feel like the whole Checo thing is a little bit
[37:47.360 -> 37:49.460] You know, it's got a bit bland, you know
[37:49.460 -> 37:53.560] Like I say ham and cheese sarnie with no mayo like you want a bit spice in there someone grab the sriracha
[37:54.140 -> 37:56.520] Yeah, do something, you know spray everyone up with it
[37:56.520 -> 37:56.880] also
[37:56.880 -> 37:58.880] We had a comment on our TikTok video saying
[37:59.000 -> 38:04.000] I've only just what this is the first video of what should you guys and I didn't realize that you were fab
[38:04.080 -> 38:05.520] It's happened again.
[38:05.520 -> 38:06.800] It's happened so much, mate.
[38:06.800 -> 38:10.160] I don't reckon everyone listening is fully aware.
[38:10.160 -> 38:15.120] It's happened so much. I think I said this already but I was at the London Drum Show and some bloke came up to me and he said,
[38:15.120 -> 38:19.440] Hey mate, you're that guy from that podcast that you do with Tomo.
[38:19.440 -> 38:20.640] Tomo!
[38:20.640 -> 38:21.920] How would you fuck that?
[38:21.920 -> 38:27.000] That's a big fuck- I mean we love Tomo, Tomo's class, but that is a big fuck up.
[38:27.000 -> 38:33.000] Yeah, I don't really get it, but it's quite funny. People always think that we're really short, and then they meet us in person and they're like, what the hell?
[38:33.000 -> 38:35.000] Wow, 6'5", crazy.
[38:35.000 -> 38:44.000] Yeah, I didn't know you were 6'8". I guess we do look short, especially me, because when I sit on the sofa, you're always like, sat up. I'm always like...
[38:44.000 -> 38:45.800] Proper slouched. Slouched, so I probably look really small. But that's it, we always film sat sofa, you're always like sat up. I'm always like... You're proper slouched.
[38:45.800 -> 38:46.300] Slouched.
[38:46.300 -> 38:49.100] But that's it, we always film sat down, so that's never gonna help.
[38:49.100 -> 38:51.900] But for those who have no idea, I am Jake.
[38:53.100 -> 38:54.600] And I am... Fab.
[38:54.600 -> 38:58.600] Yeah, we know our own names, so for you guys who know them as well.
[38:58.600 -> 39:01.800] But we've had a big old spike in podcast listeners.
[39:01.800 -> 39:06.240] So, we're not actually sure where that came from, but it might be in the old Oscar episode.
[39:06.240 -> 39:07.740] So either way,
[39:07.740 -> 39:09.760] we hope you guys have been enjoying the podcasts.
[39:09.760 -> 39:12.040] Obviously we were away in Qatar,
[39:12.040 -> 39:13.560] so that was a bit of a gap.
[39:13.560 -> 39:15.500] What an unbelievable trip, by the way.
[39:15.500 -> 39:16.740] We've been back a week now.
[39:16.740 -> 39:17.880] Yeah, she was a beauty.
[39:17.880 -> 39:18.720] Fully settled back.
[39:18.720 -> 39:20.060] She was a beauty.
[39:20.060 -> 39:20.900] And to be honest,
[39:20.900 -> 39:24.480] I am so looking forward now to the end of the year,
[39:24.480 -> 39:26.600] because the races are starting to wrap up.
[39:26.600 -> 39:27.680] We're going to see, you know,
[39:27.680 -> 39:29.840] where some of these other drivers could finish.
[39:29.840 -> 39:31.800] It's still going on just because Max won the championship
[39:31.800 -> 39:33.520] doesn't mean there isn't, you know,
[39:33.520 -> 39:35.480] points and positions for everyone else.
[39:35.480 -> 39:37.520] But I am most looking forward to just the guests
[39:37.520 -> 39:39.160] that we're going to be able to get, mate.
[39:39.160 -> 39:42.440] Because we got big green light on a big one.
[39:42.440 -> 39:47.000] We got a big green light, which is fucking awesome.
[39:47.000 -> 39:49.040] And we've been trying to get this for a long time.
[39:49.040 -> 39:50.560] There's a couple, there's two people
[39:50.560 -> 39:53.280] that we've been trying to get since the start of the year.
[39:53.280 -> 39:54.120] Yeah.
[39:54.120 -> 39:55.560] And we've been given the green light on one of them,
[39:55.560 -> 39:57.520] which then we hope will then get the ball rolling
[39:57.520 -> 39:58.360] for the other one.
[39:58.360 -> 39:59.180] Yeah.
[39:59.180 -> 40:01.560] But it's someone that you guys are all gonna know.
[40:01.560 -> 40:04.820] You're gonna love them.
[40:04.820 -> 40:06.640] I'll say right now, it's not a racing driver.
[40:06.640 -> 40:09.200] It's not a driver, but it's someone who will be very dear
[40:09.200 -> 40:11.120] to your heart if you watch the F1.
[40:11.120 -> 40:13.000] And someone that we are gonna love to get on
[40:13.000 -> 40:14.680] because there's gonna be some great stories,
[40:14.680 -> 40:16.800] some stuff which we've never spoken about before.
[40:16.800 -> 40:18.920] Yeah, no, it's gonna be mega.
[40:18.920 -> 40:21.840] And aside of that, there's also a couple of other people
[40:21.840 -> 40:25.080] that are gonna be coming on who aren't even in the F1 world,
[40:25.080 -> 40:26.800] but they're in the car world.
[40:26.800 -> 40:28.680] Again, if you're into cars,
[40:28.680 -> 40:30.820] you will know these two people.
[40:30.820 -> 40:32.480] We did meet them in Qatar.
[40:32.480 -> 40:34.820] Couple of great, great lads.
[40:34.820 -> 40:36.080] Sorry, I got in your gums.
[40:37.720 -> 40:40.120] And I'm really looking forward to getting both of them on.
[40:40.120 -> 40:42.900] But I think because the season will be wrapping up,
[40:42.900 -> 40:44.640] people are going to become a lot more available.
[40:44.640 -> 40:50.480] I actually had a text this morning from one of the teams, someone who is a great member of a great team.
[40:50.480 -> 40:52.880] Yeah, oh yeah, that's going to be a great one as well.
[40:52.880 -> 40:57.200] At the end of this year, so yeah, it's hard to get people during the season but
[40:57.200 -> 40:59.680] off season is when Pit Stop is going to be kicking off.
[40:59.680 -> 41:02.320] Yeah, Pit Stop is going to be hot around Christmas time.
[41:02.320 -> 41:06.000] Can't wait for the Christmas special episodes, it's going to be a good end to the year.
[41:06.000 -> 41:08.000] But I hope everyone enjoys the Austin Grand Prix.
[41:08.000 -> 41:10.000] You've got our predictions there and then.
[41:10.000 -> 41:14.000] We will be back on Monday for our after race review.
[41:14.000 -> 41:16.000] It's going to be a good one.
[41:16.000 -> 41:17.000] Hope everyone enjoys it.
[41:17.000 -> 41:19.000] Yeah, we've got some friends up this weekend.
[41:19.000 -> 41:21.000] I wonder if we can coax them into watching the F1 with us.
[41:21.000 -> 41:22.000] Well, it's in the evening.
[41:22.000 -> 41:23.000] They'll be gone by then, wouldn't they?
[41:23.000 -> 41:26.600] Unless they watch Saturday night. Yeah Yeah our school friends are coming up that
[41:26.600 -> 41:30.160] don't watch F1 and they're gonna step into the flat. What's the bet they're all
[41:30.160 -> 41:33.960] gonna want to go on the sim and try and... They probably won't even know who these people are.
[41:33.960 -> 41:37.920] They don't give a shit what we do. Our friends don't care about what we do. They don't.
[41:37.920 -> 41:43.360] They really don't care at all. They've never texted us once about it. They actively avoid
[41:43.360 -> 41:45.560] talking to us about F1
[41:45.560 -> 41:46.960] because they probably can't stand to hear it.
[41:46.960 -> 41:48.160] How crazy is that?
[41:48.160 -> 41:49.580] It's crazy, but um.
[41:49.580 -> 41:51.520] Are they really our friends?
[41:51.520 -> 41:54.560] That's probably the question we should ask here.
[41:54.560 -> 41:55.680] No, I'm looking forward to seeing them.
[41:55.680 -> 41:58.320] We did think about trying to get them to watch the race.
[41:58.320 -> 42:00.000] But what we got, they're coming on Saturday.
[42:00.000 -> 42:04.120] We got sprint at 11 p.m. UK time on Saturday.
[42:04.120 -> 42:07.200] So we're probably gonna be fairly drunk by this point.
[42:07.200 -> 42:08.040] Maybe we can get it on the phone.
[42:08.040 -> 42:10.000] The thing is though, I've been in their shoes
[42:10.000 -> 42:11.440] where I've gone somewhere
[42:11.440 -> 42:13.360] and I wasn't watching the F1 at the time
[42:13.360 -> 42:15.720] and it's been on and I've been like, I can't watch that.
[42:15.720 -> 42:18.120] Bro, that's been my whole life, the football.
[42:19.000 -> 42:22.120] Every single person I meet from the UK,
[42:22.120 -> 42:23.880] oh, did you watch Tottenham last night?
[42:23.880 -> 42:25.000] No, I fucking didn't.
[42:25.000 -> 42:28.000] I didn't watch your bullshit team lose last night.
[42:28.000 -> 42:29.000] I'm glad you said that.
[42:29.000 -> 42:32.000] I didn't watch anyone else win last night.
[42:32.000 -> 42:35.000] But it's every, it's been a part of my life for 27, maybe 28 years.
[42:35.000 -> 42:36.000] Must be awful, mate.
[42:36.000 -> 42:38.000] Because it's my birthday coming up, by the way.
[42:38.000 -> 42:39.000] Yeah, it is.
[42:39.000 -> 42:40.000] Just a little bit, so.
[42:40.000 -> 42:41.000] That's nice.
[42:41.000 -> 42:43.000] We are two weeks out from Fab's birthday.
[42:43.000 -> 42:44.000] Woo!
[42:44.000 -> 42:45.520] That's going to be a good one, isn't it?
[42:45.520 -> 42:47.280] And you're going on a big birthday trip.
[42:47.280 -> 42:48.100] Big bash!
[42:48.100 -> 42:49.920] You've got a big surprise coming up, haven't you?
[42:49.920 -> 42:52.480] Uh, yeah, I guess I have, yeah.
[42:52.480 -> 42:53.880] I'm not going away.
[42:53.880 -> 42:55.080] Are you not? I thought you were.
[42:55.080 -> 42:55.900] Nah, not anymore.
[42:55.900 -> 42:56.740] I'm not going away, away.
[42:56.740 -> 42:57.600] I was gonna be in London,
[42:57.600 -> 42:59.720] but there'll be some stuff that we're gonna be getting up to
[42:59.720 -> 43:01.800] and you and me can go out and do some stuff.
[43:01.800 -> 43:03.000] Well, that's very exciting.
[43:03.000 -> 43:03.960] Meet some people as well.
[43:03.960 -> 43:05.640] Well, maybe we'll throw you a birthday party
[43:05.640 -> 43:08.760] and everything, get you a clown, magician, cakes.
[43:08.760 -> 43:09.760] Get your mum up.
[43:09.760 -> 43:13.540] So wait, the pod, my birthday falls on a Saturday.
[43:13.540 -> 43:17.980] So the pod around it will be the day after, I guess.
[43:17.980 -> 43:20.240] Which is also Brazil weekend, so.
[43:20.240 -> 43:22.800] I've got an F1 race on my birthday, what a lucky boy.
[43:22.800 -> 43:24.940] You lucky boy, with any luck Fernando Alonso,
[43:24.940 -> 43:27.100] sorry, Felipe Dragovic will step in for that one.
[43:27.100 -> 43:29.100] I saw a post, mate.
[43:29.100 -> 43:30.600] Yeah, I know what you're gonna say.
[43:30.600 -> 43:31.100] Is it BS?
[43:31.100 -> 43:31.600] His poster.
[43:31.600 -> 43:32.600] Or is it legit?
[43:32.600 -> 43:34.600] What, where they printed Felipe Dragovic?
[43:34.600 -> 43:42.600] It was outside the race, there was a banner for, this is in Austin, so this is like right now, of all the racing drivers,
[43:42.600 -> 43:45.440] and rather than Lance Stroll in the Aston Martin suit
[43:45.440 -> 43:48.720] It was Felipe Dragobits. Yeah, I saw that as well. Is that legit or not?
[43:48.720 -> 43:51.420] Well, it was a legit poster the posters up
[43:51.420 -> 43:52.400] It hadn't been edited though
[43:52.400 -> 43:58.580] But there was other problems with whoever did the printing for the Austin Grand Prix because they spelt Daniel Ricciardo's name wrong above his garage
[43:58.580 -> 44:02.040] So look out for that. Oh, so there's been quite a few errors
[44:02.040 -> 44:06.800] But yeah, I saw that Felipe Dragobits in and off the back of Lance Stroll's
[44:07.520 -> 44:13.600] Tantrum in Qatar as we know so let's see I mean I'd love nothing more than Dragovic in the Aston Martin
[44:13.600 -> 44:18.720] It's because Stroll's Canadian isn't it? I reckon that the Yanks are having a go. Is there a divide between them?
[44:18.720 -> 44:21.380] I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I'm making it up, but yeah
[44:21.900 -> 44:29.680] Well, you you went to Canada before. Yeah, I did well there we go thanks for listening to the people enjoyed that oh
