[01:49.040 -> 01:53.200] very upset. I am going to be very upset. I remember when we had that little break in August. I was
[01:53.200 -> 01:57.280] devastated. It is going to be a shame. There's going to be no races but we'll hit it harder
[01:57.280 -> 02:02.320] with many, many great guests. It's been an incredible season. We've seen records broken.
[02:02.320 -> 02:09.840] Max Verstappen, the most wins in a season ever Red Bull have absolutely smashed it I am gonna bring something to the podcast
[02:09.840 -> 02:14.920] very early days okay is it special I feel like it could be
[02:14.920 -> 02:20.840] Fabio Bocca yes who came pole position in qualifying last week who was it Kevin
[02:20.840 -> 02:26.400] Magnussen no that was in. No, that was in the sprint, qualifying. No, that was in qualifying. Yeah, sorry, in the sprint.
[02:26.400 -> 02:27.120] Who came pole?
[02:27.120 -> 02:27.560] Yeah, yeah.
[02:27.560 -> 02:28.400] George.
[02:28.400 -> 02:30.400] Who won the race?
[02:30.400 -> 02:31.280] George.
[02:31.280 -> 02:32.120] Yeah.
[02:32.120 -> 02:34.120] That Mercedes looks really quick, doesn't it?
[02:34.920 -> 02:36.560] Yes, it does look very quick.
[02:36.560 -> 02:38.640] Do you think there's a chance in that Mercedes
[02:38.640 -> 02:40.800] you could get a fastest lap?
[02:40.800 -> 02:41.320] George?
[02:41.320 -> 02:41.760] Yeah.
[02:41.760 -> 02:44.680] Yeah, because he set one in the last four races.
[02:44.680 -> 02:45.800] Did you know
[02:45.800 -> 02:52.680] if Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez both DNF'd in Abu Dhabi and George Russell
[02:52.680 -> 02:56.560] won the race, then it means you were right. It means you were right all along.
[02:56.560 -> 03:02.360] George Russell would come second in the driver's standards. Yeah. Now that would
[03:02.360 -> 03:05.160] be something special. It would mean that your prediction was correct
[03:05.160 -> 03:07.720] And it would mean you know a lot about formula
[03:07.720 -> 03:09.720] Wow, this is a thing!
[03:09.720 -> 03:12.600] I don't like to show off in front of fellow F1 fans
[03:12.600 -> 03:18.680] No, of course not of course not but that would be um that would be really something if Charles Leclerc and Perez both DNF'd
[03:18.840 -> 03:24.780] If George Russell won got faster slap it comes second at the moment Perez and Leclerc both sat on 290
[03:24.840 -> 03:30.000] The constructors are pretty close as well there is 19 points between Ferrari
[03:30.000 -> 03:35.520] and Mercedes it's super tight and we've got our 20 pound bet on yeah we do we do
[03:35.520 -> 03:40.280] how you feeling about it well big smackers on the table first week it's a
[03:40.280 -> 03:44.040] bit nervous it's nice nice to do it gambling ever since Las Vegas we've
[03:44.040 -> 03:45.360] sort of got the,
[03:45.360 -> 03:46.880] we've just been filled with it.
[03:46.880 -> 03:48.360] Every night on the dog house.
[03:48.360 -> 03:51.480] I don't feel like I've done the right thing here, man.
[03:51.480 -> 03:52.740] I don't feel like I've done the right thing
[03:52.740 -> 03:53.860] back in what I've backed,
[03:53.860 -> 03:55.560] but I do feel like Mercedes will-
[03:55.560 -> 03:57.200] What's it now, you think it's a bad decision?
[03:57.200 -> 04:00.800] Well, I'm relying on basically
[04:00.800 -> 04:03.840] two really bad Ferrari performances.
[04:03.840 -> 04:05.480] And, you know fingers
[04:05.480 -> 04:08.240] crossed it may happen I mean we're not fingers crossed but...
[04:08.240 -> 04:09.280] There's a good chance it does happen.
[04:09.280 -> 04:10.480] Oh my 20 squids.
[04:10.480 -> 04:11.680] Yeah I feel ya.
[04:11.680 -> 04:14.480] Should we give our top three prediction at the beginning of the pod?
[04:14.480 -> 04:16.640] We usually do it at the end but what do you think Fabi Dabi?
[04:16.640 -> 04:19.440] Fabi Dabi? Lewis Hamilton wins.
[04:19.440 -> 04:20.240] Wow.
[04:20.240 -> 04:22.320] Yeah redemption for last year.
[04:22.320 -> 04:23.360] Max second.
[04:23.360 -> 04:24.480] I want to see that battle again.
[04:24.480 -> 04:26.020] I want to see history battle again. I want to see history repeat itself
[04:26.360 -> 04:28.360] Okay, and then I reckon
[04:29.720 -> 04:35.580] Charles the clan third fair, but why give me an outrageous one?
[04:38.320 -> 04:40.320] George Russell wins again
[04:40.720 -> 04:42.720] Yeah, you heard it here first
[04:43.040 -> 04:46.240] Lewis Hamilton in second my god yeah you ready
[04:46.240 -> 04:52.180] for this yeah I don't know if I am Lando Norris third Lando yeah interesting
[04:52.180 -> 04:58.240] logic what what makes you think that you said give me something he's been he has
[04:58.240 -> 05:02.720] been on fire recently he's been on fire shame about getting quicker yeah he's
[05:02.720 -> 05:08.000] gonna be excited about next year look I just feel like an amazing season has come to a head.
[05:08.000 -> 05:12.000] And now all the drivers are starting to move around a little bit, which makes it even more interesting.
[05:12.000 -> 05:14.000] Oh yeah, because it's been...
[05:14.000 -> 05:16.000] There's been some breaking news this morning.
[05:16.000 -> 05:19.000] Usually we've been uploading at midnight, but we're filming this the morning of the Thursday of the day of the upload.
[05:19.000 -> 05:21.000] Why don't you tell them why? Tell them why we're being a little late.
[05:21.000 -> 05:24.000] Oh yeah, guys, because yesterday we surprised my mum with a dog.
[05:24.000 -> 05:26.200] Aww, how sweet. Little puppy Lola. Tell them why we're late guys because yesterday we surprised my mom with the dog
[05:28.200 -> 05:29.620] Little puppy Lola
[05:31.620 -> 05:32.800] Golden cockapoo
[05:38.320 -> 05:40.320] Yeah, we took a dog down south and then it was torrential rain coming back but fabs Volvo made it through guys I'm not gonna lie to you isn't it?
[05:40.320 -> 05:47.140] It's a VW Golf and I gotta say there was hints, there was elements, there was moments of pure amazingness last night
[05:48.140 -> 05:52.220] Alonso in the rain, not far different, not far different my friend.
[05:52.220 -> 05:57.540] To be fair there was 4x4s stuck in puddles because they couldn't get through them, but Fab in that VW Golf
[05:57.940 -> 05:59.940] slid through those puddles.
[06:00.140 -> 06:02.960] Do you know what it is? It's the raw power and speed of the Golf.
[06:02.960 -> 06:03.460] Yeah.
[06:03.460 -> 06:05.960] You can't drive through a puddle slowly
[06:05.960 -> 06:07.960] because you'll just, you'll drown.
[06:07.960 -> 06:10.000] You'll get stuck.
[06:10.000 -> 06:12.640] You have to just go flat out as fast as you can.
[06:12.640 -> 06:15.520] No, that's not the correct piece of information
[06:15.520 -> 06:17.280] to be given out, but you do have to hit it
[06:17.280 -> 06:19.360] at some sort of speed so that you make it through.
[06:19.360 -> 06:20.920] For all the correct information
[06:20.920 -> 06:22.560] about how you should hit water on the roads,
[06:22.560 -> 06:46.640] please visit YouTube and type in water fucking skiing or whatever it is. Yeah, don't take it from me. What's it called, water gliding? Hydroplaning. Hydroplaning. for breaking Mick Schumacher will no longer race for Haas after the after this last race actually
[06:46.920 -> 06:52.720] Confirmed by Oscar Piastri on our last podcast that we did with Oscar if you haven't heard it go check out on YouTube Spotify
[06:52.840 -> 06:56.200] Everywhere else. Yeah, we're well done for bringing that up. That was like a month and a half ago
[06:56.200 -> 07:02.100] So if they do listen to the pit stop podcast you get a new fans hasn't haven't heard it yet Oscar Piastri great great interview
[07:02.100 -> 07:07.260] And what's the second half of that that news? Nico Hülkenberg has taken his
[07:07.260 -> 07:10.440] spot and your initial reaction?
[07:10.440 -> 07:12.720] because we've only just got into
[07:12.720 -> 07:14.280] Formula One I don't feel like you and me
[07:14.280 -> 07:16.960] have this this connection with Nico
[07:16.960 -> 07:18.960] Hülkenberg do you know what I mean?
[07:18.960 -> 07:20.680] wasn't he racing last year the year before?
[07:20.680 -> 07:23.480] I'm not gonna lie to you I know nothing
[07:23.480 -> 07:28.400] about Hülkenberg because he wasn't he's barely in Drive Survive. He was like Aston Martin.
[07:28.400 -> 07:31.440] Or if he was in Drive Survive that's really bad I can't remember. Yeah no I don't really know
[07:31.440 -> 07:34.720] much about the guy so actually be really good to get him on the pod before he
[07:34.720 -> 07:39.880] goes back out next season. Yeah for sure but it's a shame because Mick's a lot
[07:39.880 -> 07:44.000] like a lot younger I think it feels a bit weird like giving it to an older guy I
[07:44.000 -> 07:49.840] think Mick's got potential which has been spotted. How old is is Nico Holgenberg? I don't know have a little google but I know Mick's
[07:49.840 -> 07:54.160] potential has been spotted about spotted by Mercedes have you seen that fap?
[07:54.160 -> 07:58.000] I have not actually heard that I've heard other rumors about Mercedes which we'll get on to
[07:58.640 -> 08:05.920] yeah well the Mercedes Daniel Ricciardo rumor sorry Sorry, breaking news. Nico Holgenberg is 35.
[08:06.840 -> 08:07.680] What?
[08:07.680 -> 08:08.520] And how old is Mick Schumacher?
[08:08.520 -> 08:10.380] Stop sticking me dad in the car.
[08:10.380 -> 08:12.800] How old is Mick Schumacher?
[08:12.800 -> 08:15.640] Mick Schumacher's gotta be like 23, probably.
[08:15.640 -> 08:18.920] Mick Schumacher, I can confirm, is-
[08:18.920 -> 08:20.240] I'm going for 24.
[08:20.240 -> 08:21.840] He's a 1999 baby.
[08:21.840 -> 08:22.680] He's 23.
[08:22.680 -> 08:25.200] 20, hang on a minute.
[08:30.000 -> 08:32.400] So they really are just, that means they're lining someone up for the year, a couple of years after. Well, did you not hear Gunther just now on the video I watched?
[08:32.400 -> 08:32.900] No.
[08:32.900 -> 08:34.400] He's just saying he's got more experience.
[08:34.400 -> 08:38.400] That's kind of what you put it down to. He's got more experience, feel like we could get better chances with him.
[08:38.400 -> 08:42.000] They'll be looking to get maximised points next year. They won't want to go with like a...
[08:42.000 -> 08:46.560] I thought you said there's no bad blood between them and Mick but then I saw Mick's post on Instagram
[08:46.560 -> 08:50.800] Yeah I think Mick will be gutted he's not actually racing but I think this Mercedes
[08:50.800 -> 08:52.320] thing looks interesting with Mick
[08:52.320 -> 08:56.320] Go on, tell me about it because that's kind of, I don't know what you're going to say
[08:56.320 -> 08:57.320] Tell me what you've heard
[08:57.320 -> 09:01.600] I haven't heard anything but I feel, I mean I should do because this is my job now but
[09:01.600 -> 09:04.240] I purposely keep myself away so we can have these conversations
[09:04.240 -> 09:05.920] So what have you heard? do because this is my job now but I purposely keep myself away so we can have these conversations. That's what I'll put it down to.
[09:05.920 -> 09:06.920] So what have you heard?
[09:06.920 -> 09:10.320] I've heard nothing, I've heard nothing but I do feel like another team will just lap him up.
[09:10.320 -> 09:13.600] I do feel like no one's gonna let Mick Schumacher just go.
[09:13.600 -> 09:19.400] I think Mercedes are gonna grab him as their reserve driver for next year by the looks of things and what I've seen.
[09:19.400 -> 09:21.600] What's the rumour? What's the word on the street?
[09:21.600 -> 09:27.680] It looks like it will happen and it also looks like that will be followed up by Daniel Ricciardo to Red Bull as their reserved driver.
[09:27.680 -> 09:31.280] Well, that's what my dad said. My dad said Mercedes might have Ricciardo.
[09:31.280 -> 09:36.480] Which is interesting because from everything we knew he wasn't going to race next season, but I want him to stay in the sport.
[09:36.480 -> 09:44.160] He needs to stay in the sport if he wants to get back into a car, but also there's so much more media value to these people now, isn't there?
[09:44.160 -> 09:48.380] There's so much media value to Red Bull taking Daniel Ricciardo back because just having
[09:48.380 -> 09:51.260] him on videos and that and same with Mick there's so much media value of
[09:51.260 -> 09:56.300] having Mick. My eyes have really been opened now about how much the grid can
[09:56.300 -> 10:00.260] change like think about the year that we've been doing it's not even been a
[10:00.260 -> 10:04.120] year since we started the pod guys been nine months started the Instagram page
[10:04.120 -> 10:07.160] which is crazy isn't it how quick is that nine months gone it's
[10:07.160 -> 10:11.480] mental quickest moment for my life but we've lost Kimi Raikkonen we're gonna
[10:11.480 -> 10:16.360] lose Mick Schumacher we're gonna lose Sebastian Vettel which is we've gained
[10:16.360 -> 10:20.000] Nick DeVries we could potentially gain Logan Sargent we're gaining Oscar
[10:20.000 -> 10:27.960] Piastri who have I missed there's a load of shit going on. There's people, there's a load of people moving around.
[10:27.960 -> 10:29.640] Danny Rick, gone.
[10:29.640 -> 10:30.480] Yeah, I know.
[10:30.480 -> 10:31.800] And we've only just learned the grid.
[10:31.800 -> 10:33.280] This is all happening, yeah.
[10:33.280 -> 10:35.160] Yeah, I haven't even learned their numbers yet.
[10:35.160 -> 10:36.560] No, I don't even know their numbers.
[10:36.560 -> 10:38.000] I can tell you a couple of them.
[10:38.000 -> 10:39.960] That's why I think what Crofty does is so special,
[10:39.960 -> 10:40.800] by the way.
[10:40.800 -> 10:41.640] Yeah, Crofty's an absolute legend.
[10:41.640 -> 10:43.440] He must read the numbers on the cars all the time
[10:43.440 -> 10:44.960] to know who is doing what.
[10:44.960 -> 10:45.800] When the camera switches,
[10:45.800 -> 10:48.200] because I've seen the clips of them in the commentary box
[10:48.200 -> 10:49.560] and they've only got one screen.
[10:49.560 -> 10:51.520] I thought they'd have like a million different screens,
[10:51.520 -> 10:53.120] angles, everything.
[10:53.120 -> 10:53.960] Telemetry.
[10:53.960 -> 10:55.920] I have no idea how they do it.
[10:55.920 -> 10:56.880] Beats me.
[10:56.880 -> 10:59.120] But yeah, you mentioned Logan Sargent then,
[10:59.120 -> 11:01.120] I actually have confirmed what he needs to do.
[11:01.120 -> 11:04.000] Cause he needs to get enough points for a super license.
[11:04.000 -> 11:09.520] He's racing again in FP1 like Abu Dhabi and he needs to get basically a hundred
[11:09.520 -> 11:15.880] kilometers in. So how many laps is that? I'm not sure I don't have the stats but
[11:15.880 -> 11:18.600] I can look at it whilst we do it but yeah he needs to do that to get some points and
[11:18.600 -> 11:24.200] then in the F2 race he needs 12 points from the weekend to get enough points to
[11:24.200 -> 11:25.280] get a super license
[11:25.280 -> 11:29.560] to be Williams driver if so basically Logan Sargent needs to do well in the
[11:29.560 -> 11:34.960] F2 because that Williams seat is his ready to go so how many but how many
[11:34.960 -> 11:38.760] laps does he have to do in Formula One what is he gonna be is he gonna
[11:38.760 -> 11:42.800] absolutely be hammering it during the FP1 session let me just get you the do
[11:42.800 -> 11:47.520] you know who else is gonna be an FP1 in Abu Dhabi? Robert Schwartzman.
[11:47.520 -> 11:49.160] Let's go.
[11:49.160 -> 11:49.960] That's exciting.
[11:49.960 -> 11:52.960] That is exciting, because he drove um...
[11:52.960 -> 11:54.040] well he drove not long ago.
[11:54.040 -> 11:55.080] This is actually um...
[11:55.080 -> 11:56.640] Mate, this is a really exciting race
[11:56.640 -> 11:58.320] because the F2 is back on,
[11:58.320 -> 11:59.880] it's the last F2 race of the season.
[11:59.880 -> 12:02.400] Obviously we've come to know a few people in F2 now.
[12:02.400 -> 12:07.280] Matt's going to be there with Iwasa. So, fucking let's see what happens there.
[12:07.280 -> 12:09.200] But I don't know, it's just exciting.
[12:09.200 -> 12:10.880] It's exciting that we can watch both.
[12:10.880 -> 12:12.520] I love the F2.
[12:12.520 -> 12:13.680] I've got the stats here.
[12:13.680 -> 12:16.440] Circuit length, so that would be a lap, wouldn't it?
[12:16.440 -> 12:17.280] Yes.
[12:17.280 -> 12:19.520] So that's 5.2 km.
[12:19.520 -> 12:24.520] No, sorry, 5,000, sorry, 5.281 km.
[12:28.720 -> 12:33.800] Right, so he's got to do 20 laps and he's got to do 100 km see he's got to do 20 laps right he's got to do 20 laps in fp1 is that
[12:33.800 -> 12:38.800] possible I don't think it is how many's he got to do 20 right we must be missing
[12:38.800 -> 12:41.680] something here because that's not right so let's say he doesn't look one minute
[12:41.680 -> 12:45.440] 30 no no I think that is right if he doesn't at 1 minute 30
[12:46.680 -> 12:49.380] 1 Point 30. Yeah, it is an hour long session times
[12:50.220 -> 12:51.580] 10
[12:51.580 -> 12:53.580] so 13
[12:55.300 -> 12:59.220] I'm trying to figure out whether we'd have enough time. He's got the 20 laps there 1 minute 30
[12:59.380 -> 13:04.460] So 20 minutes and then 30 seconds, so it's half an hour half an hour. He's got so he's got
[13:05.320 -> 13:10.440] Basically the whole time just yeah, and he's got a drive quick, but he's not gonna be doing one minute 30s the whole time
[13:11.240 -> 13:16.120] Wow, but they must know what they're doing. Otherwise, they wouldn't announced all this shit. I hope Logan makes it in
[13:16.120 -> 13:22.340] I want as many rookies and as many young people in as possible saying but you are spot-on about the grid changing so much
[13:22.340 -> 13:28.480] I you don't really expect it and it's weird that McLaren are gonna have a new driver because they're such a big setup.
[13:28.800 -> 13:33.700] You see so much about Ricciardo, you see so much about Norris, like it's crazy to think next year
[13:33.700 -> 13:34.480] that's gonna be Oscar.
[13:34.480 -> 13:40.400] McLaren is such a huge historic team that just aren't doing very well at the minute.
[13:40.400 -> 13:42.400] So I reckon anyone who's joined
[13:43.440 -> 13:46.000] Formula One the same time that we have,
[13:46.000 -> 13:49.720] won't maybe might not know or have that understanding
[13:49.720 -> 13:52.800] of like how like of a good team McLaren are,
[13:52.800 -> 13:54.460] but they are like one of the best.
[13:54.460 -> 13:56.780] And I hope it next year is gonna be really good for them.
[13:56.780 -> 13:57.800] They're definitely one of the best
[13:57.800 -> 13:58.720] and they're also one of the best
[13:58.720 -> 14:01.080] to everything they produce with their drivers.
[14:01.080 -> 14:02.480] I like the media stuff they do.
[14:02.480 -> 14:09.600] I like the media stuff Red Bull do. I feel like I remember when McLaren joined and it was in, I swear it was with Mercedes.
[14:09.600 -> 14:13.440] I'm going to get roasted for this, but it was they joined as McLaren Mercedes team.
[14:14.560 -> 14:16.960] No, I think you're right because Hamilton raced with them.
[14:16.960 -> 14:19.440] Yeah, and he was absolutely rapid with them.
[14:19.440 -> 14:22.640] Because when we first joined, we were getting confused because you'd be like,
[14:22.640 -> 14:26.160] who does Hamilton do this for? And I'd be like, McLaren. And then you'd be like, no Hammond did this for and I'd be like McLaren and you'd be like no it's McLaren
[14:26.160 -> 14:30.160] Mercedes or Mercedes McLaren or something yeah they were definitely linked at some point
[14:30.160 -> 14:36.880] we're definitely gonna get roasted for this. Do you think? Yeah. Nah, people are always nice to us.
[14:36.880 -> 14:40.960] What else have you got in Jake's notebook today? Well not not too much to
[14:40.960 -> 14:43.280] be honest because there hasn't been loads happening but you did mention it's
[14:43.280 -> 14:45.820] obviously Vettel's last race.
[14:45.820 -> 14:47.100] That's sad.
[14:47.100 -> 14:48.240] That's very sad.
[14:49.300 -> 14:50.820] It was quite refreshing for me.
[14:50.820 -> 14:51.660] Why?
[14:51.660 -> 14:54.620] Because I saw a photo of him and George together.
[14:54.620 -> 14:55.460] Yeah.
[14:55.460 -> 14:56.300] He signed George's helmet.
[14:56.300 -> 14:58.900] George couldn't put his helmet on cause it was too small.
[14:58.900 -> 15:00.460] I remember holding Danny Rick's helmet
[15:00.460 -> 15:03.180] and thinking I couldn't get one of my nuts in it.
[15:03.180 -> 15:05.400] Like they have got the
[15:05.400 -> 15:09.480] tiniest heads because they are small people but George is our size. George is
[15:09.480 -> 15:13.400] like our height maybe slightly taller so it's just nice to know
[15:13.400 -> 15:16.760] that I haven't I mean I know my head's ginormous. And what about Vettel's head?
[15:16.760 -> 15:21.080] No, I don't know. He probably knows he's got a small head.
[15:21.080 -> 15:24.720] But wasn't Vettel holding the helmet of George? Yeah he could wear it he could wear
[15:24.720 -> 15:25.360] George's helmet George couldn't get Vettel holding the helmet of George? Yeah, he could wear it. He could wear George's helmet.
[15:25.360 -> 15:26.880] George couldn't get Vettel's helmet on.
[15:26.880 -> 15:28.200] It was like stuck on top of his head.
[15:28.200 -> 15:29.360] Oh, wow.
[15:29.360 -> 15:30.200] Yeah.
[15:30.200 -> 15:31.680] I thought you were saying about another quote.
[15:31.680 -> 15:33.120] I don't know, but I screenshotted something,
[15:33.120 -> 15:34.080] so I was getting really confused.
[15:34.080 -> 15:34.920] Come on, hit me.
[15:34.920 -> 15:37.060] Well, I was just screenshotting all the stuff about Vettel.
[15:37.060 -> 15:38.180] No, about George.
[15:39.080 -> 15:40.560] Of course, you've got me so confused now.
[15:40.560 -> 15:43.600] Are you talking about George Russell or Sebastian Vettel?
[15:43.600 -> 15:44.420] Both of them.
[15:44.420 -> 15:47.140] Oh, okay. Yeah, Sebastian Vettel? both of them oh okay yeah Sebastian Vettel youngest pole sitter ever
[15:47.140 -> 15:50.880] youngest world champion youngest two-time three-time four-time world
[15:50.880 -> 15:55.660] drivers champion most poles in a single season most wins in a row most wins in
[15:55.660 -> 15:59.880] Malaysia most wins in South Korea most wins in India most wins in Singapore
[15:59.880 -> 16:04.500] most positions gained in a single race in the 21st century most laps led in a
[16:04.500 -> 16:06.160] single season.
[16:06.160 -> 16:08.200] Some of these stats are quite something.
[16:08.200 -> 16:09.400] That's something, yeah.
[16:09.400 -> 16:10.240] That really is something.
[16:10.240 -> 16:11.640] Sebastian Vettel, the man that's leaving.
[16:11.640 -> 16:13.560] And he did a statement saying he doesn't even want
[16:13.560 -> 16:15.680] to be remembered for the championships and the wins.
[16:15.680 -> 16:16.740] He wants to just be remembered
[16:16.740 -> 16:18.360] for just being a great person kind of thing.
[16:18.360 -> 16:19.200] And do you know what?
[16:19.200 -> 16:20.020] And I love that.
[16:20.020 -> 16:21.040] That's mad that you said that,
[16:21.040 -> 16:22.660] because I was about to say,
[16:22.660 -> 16:31.280] that's what he will be remembered by. In my head I've been thinking, trying to compare the legacy that Max could have now, compared
[16:31.280 -> 16:34.440] to someone like Sebastian Vettel or someone like that.
[16:34.440 -> 16:40.120] Sebastian will always be known as just being that fucking nice, cool legend of a guy, whereas
[16:40.120 -> 16:42.100] Max is so ruthless.
[16:42.100 -> 16:45.920] After the shit that he pulled at the last with like Red Bull and obviously the Checo thing
[16:46.000 -> 16:48.880] All that stuff that happened like how do you think people view?
[16:48.880 -> 16:52.860] Max and do you think he'll have like the same legacy as someone like Sebastian Vettel?
[16:54.120 -> 16:59.080] The thing is Sebastian Vettel his legacy is what is a lot of it is because he was one of the youngest
[17:00.120 -> 17:03.280] He was like one of the youngest drivers to ever like win a championship wasn't he?
[17:03.280 -> 17:05.340] You've been chewing this? You've been chewing this, there's a bit of plastic I found down the one of the youngest drivers to ever like win a championship wasn't he? Have you been chewing this? What is that?
[17:05.340 -> 17:08.340] You've been chewing this, there's a bit of plastic that I found down the side of the
[17:08.340 -> 17:09.340] sofa.
[17:09.340 -> 17:10.340] Yeah I always chew stuff.
[17:10.340 -> 17:11.340] And it's got all teeth, it looks like the dog's been at it.
[17:11.340 -> 17:12.340] I've been chewing it, it was weird.
[17:12.340 -> 17:13.340] Why am I holding it?
[17:13.340 -> 17:16.660] Yeah Vettel's been around for so long because he got loads of records when he was young
[17:16.660 -> 17:18.980] which has meant he's had such a legacy the whole way through as well.
[17:18.980 -> 17:20.740] You just picked it up, you're gonna start chewing it again.
[17:20.740 -> 17:23.260] Probably I'm gonna start chewing it.
[17:23.260 -> 17:25.040] Just threw it over towards you
[17:25.040 -> 17:26.960] and you've gone straight away and picked it up, sorry.
[17:26.960 -> 17:28.600] They're just different people.
[17:28.600 -> 17:32.880] Like realistically, no one even needs to be compared
[17:32.880 -> 17:33.900] to Vettel I don't think.
[17:33.900 -> 17:36.560] Like everyone is just such a different person.
[17:36.560 -> 17:38.240] You're not gonna get another Vettel.
[17:38.240 -> 17:39.640] Like he's just such a lovely guy.
[17:39.640 -> 17:41.760] Some of these other drivers just are so like
[17:41.760 -> 17:43.700] level headed on the racing, which is fair enough
[17:43.700 -> 17:47.960] because they are a Formula One racer. A lot of these people, I think people
[17:47.960 -> 17:52.160] need to remember, they don't all have to be media heads, they don't all have to be
[17:52.160 -> 17:56.280] like being amazing people, I guess, at the end of the day, because a lot of them are there
[17:56.280 -> 18:01.080] just because they want to win every week. I'm sure they're all there for that.
[18:01.080 -> 18:07.000] They don't really care necessarily about how they're portrayed, presented, a lot of them won't, which is why you see such a
[18:07.000 -> 18:11.900] media fucking backlash half the time. But Sebastian Vettel was amazing at speaking
[18:11.900 -> 18:16.100] to like just the world. He's just a good advocate isn't he? He's just making a
[18:16.100 -> 18:20.200] difference. He went on fucking question time in the UK. I know, but not every driver
[18:20.200 -> 18:24.920] would want to do that would they? What I was getting at, what I really wanted to
[18:24.920 -> 18:27.400] ask you, I think we touched on it in the last pod,
[18:27.400 -> 18:31.760] but I think personally that this whole thing that happened with Max and Checo is
[18:31.960 -> 18:38.160] like bigger than it seems on surface level because really Max has gone against team orders there. Yeah
[18:38.760 -> 18:40.760] Max has gone against team orders
[18:41.160 -> 18:44.760] They said they've chatted about it and Christian wouldn't really talk about what they said on TV
[18:49.720 -> 18:52.840] but orders. They said they've chatted about it and Christian wouldn't really talk about what they said on TV but that is huge to have someone like that stand up against it. I don't know if this is huge or not maybe this happens a
[18:52.840 -> 18:57.600] lot but to me it sounds like that's a power play from Max.
[18:57.600 -> 19:03.000] How's the dynamic in Red Bull now? What do they do? He's their
[19:03.000 -> 19:07.800] star driver they want to hold on to him but at the same time Red Bull now seem like they've been backed into a corner a little bit by
[19:07.800 -> 19:08.800] him.
[19:08.800 -> 19:12.360] And you were saying there was more to it, you were saying that it looked like Checo
[19:12.360 -> 19:14.120] crashed.
[19:14.120 -> 19:16.640] In Monaco.
[19:16.640 -> 19:20.520] So what was that all about? Because I still don't really get behind that.
[19:20.520 -> 19:23.680] No, I still don't really know anything about it because again, I should know this but I
[19:23.680 -> 19:26.240] haven't done my research but I
[19:26.240 -> 19:31.960] Thought what's happened was max didn't do a good qualifying session and then check I was out and then he crashed so that max couldn't
[19:31.960 -> 19:34.120] Get a pole and qualifying. I don't know
[19:34.120 -> 19:39.360] I think check Oh wasn't check Oh Paul and he crashed though in there be or he was in front of the staffers
[19:39.360 -> 19:44.560] Yeah, I mean they were saying that they crashed because max so max couldn't do another lap. Yeah, that's like
[19:44.560 -> 19:46.380] That's what I think happened. Yeah, but I can't get behind lap. And they were saying that they crashed because Max couldn't do another lap and it started in front of him. That's what I think happened, yeah.
[19:46.380 -> 19:48.500] But I can't get behind that.
[19:48.500 -> 19:51.740] I don't see why it deliberately crashed.
[19:51.740 -> 19:53.940] Like, I get, there's loads of people on Twitter
[19:53.940 -> 19:56.340] that have like looked at the thing and slowed it down
[19:56.340 -> 19:59.580] and shown how he deliberately accelerated in that.
[19:59.580 -> 20:01.260] But then you got to remember at the same time,
[20:01.260 -> 20:02.700] they're still going real quick.
[20:02.700 -> 20:04.540] Like he could maybe just switched off for a second,
[20:04.540 -> 20:05.320] maybe just made a mistake. No, I don't think it is a crash. I think it is on purpose. Really? Yeah, you got to remember at the same time, they're still going well quick. Like you could maybe just switched off for a second, maybe just made a mistake.
[20:05.320 -> 20:06.800] No, I don't think it is a crash.
[20:06.800 -> 20:08.000] I think it is on purpose.
[20:08.000 -> 20:08.840] Really?
[20:08.840 -> 20:11.520] Yeah, you got to think these guys, professionals,
[20:11.520 -> 20:13.840] you just know when to accelerate out of a corner.
[20:13.840 -> 20:16.000] It was just after that hairpin at Monaco
[20:16.000 -> 20:17.560] and then they come down, they come right in.
[20:17.560 -> 20:19.880] Just before he goes into the zone.
[20:19.880 -> 20:23.160] You, when we drive in a car and we go around a corner,
[20:23.160 -> 20:24.960] we're going at 20 to eight mile an hour.
[20:24.960 -> 20:30.240] Yeah. They probably just come down a straight going like 150 not on that section of the track. No way
[20:31.240 -> 20:37.480] Mad quick. Yeah, the reaction is a professional racing driver driving Monaco one of the most historic tracks
[20:37.480 -> 20:40.920] Yeah, but he could have just switched off for a second checkers done. It's a million times. I
[20:41.760 -> 20:49.400] Can't there is no chance. I'm being convinced that that was not that was not on purpose you hear the engine rev the first time he done it he
[20:49.400 -> 20:52.880] accelerates after the corner he clearly accelerates before the corner on this
[20:52.880 -> 20:57.760] one before the corner he accelerates just as he gets round which pulls his
[20:57.760 -> 21:01.320] tires out the back it's just before literally as he's turning into the corner
[21:01.320 -> 21:06.080] I I think a hundred percent legit. I don't know.
[21:06.080 -> 21:10.680] What accident? Not on purpose? Accident or like just switch off or trying something
[21:10.680 -> 21:14.120] different or something could have been wrong with the tires or anything could
[21:14.120 -> 21:18.640] have happened the engine could have gone like it's when these cars are so
[21:18.640 -> 21:25.080] controlled by a garage. When these cars are so like when these when these basically, What are you talking about?
[21:25.080 -> 21:27.000] These cars are so controlled by the garage.
[21:27.000 -> 21:27.840] Yeah.
[21:27.840 -> 21:30.180] Like they can do so much back in the pit wall and that.
[21:30.180 -> 21:31.640] Yeah, but they can't accelerate the car for it.
[21:31.640 -> 21:33.320] No, but they can change things in the car, can't they?
[21:33.320 -> 21:36.640] Maybe something's been changed or, who's in qualy?
[21:36.640 -> 21:38.080] No, I really don't know.
[21:38.080 -> 21:38.920] I'm not sure.
[21:38.920 -> 21:41.120] It even feels weird talking about this now
[21:41.120 -> 21:43.440] when you meet them, when you meet these drivers
[21:43.440 -> 21:46.880] and then there's me saying that Checo done it on purpose, I feel a bit wrong.
[21:46.880 -> 21:49.560] It's a weird divide in like where we've started
[21:49.560 -> 21:51.280] doing this at home just saying whatever we want
[21:51.280 -> 21:53.560] and now we have to meet these people, which is amazing.
[21:53.560 -> 21:55.120] I think this is a big point to highlight,
[21:55.120 -> 21:58.400] like we've never seen ourselves as media
[21:58.400 -> 22:00.200] and like sometimes we go to these races now,
[22:00.200 -> 22:02.160] these events, whatever, we get media passes
[22:02.160 -> 22:04.360] and it almost feels like wrong putting them on
[22:04.360 -> 22:08.160] because I guess we are media, like technically we are, but
[22:08.160 -> 22:11.760] that's never how we've really wanted to have been viewed or like not even who we
[22:11.760 -> 22:16.040] want to be. We've always said since the beginning we want to be like friends of
[22:16.040 -> 22:19.500] the paddock, like we would just want to be like friends of everyone in F1 really
[22:19.500 -> 22:23.920] like and now we're getting viewed as media. I don't know where I was going
[22:23.920 -> 22:25.640] with this but it just feels a little bit strange.
[22:25.640 -> 22:26.480] Do you not think?
[22:26.480 -> 22:28.640] Yeah, it is a bit strange.
[22:28.640 -> 22:29.560] But I mean, I'll take it.
[22:29.560 -> 22:31.200] If a passenger's going to be where we need to be,
[22:31.200 -> 22:33.000] then I'll be media all day long.
[22:33.000 -> 22:34.680] But we aren't media really, are we?
[22:34.680 -> 22:37.200] I guess I just never wanted to like be known
[22:37.200 -> 22:39.520] as like by the drivers, as like someone
[22:39.520 -> 22:40.340] who's interviewed them.
[22:40.340 -> 22:41.520] I just want to be their mate.
[22:41.520 -> 22:43.080] Yeah, and that's one of the hard things
[22:43.080 -> 22:44.560] when we talk about the drivers
[22:44.560 -> 22:46.080] and then we give our opinion on anything
[22:46.080 -> 22:47.000] and then we have to meet them.
[22:47.000 -> 22:49.000] And there's a professional standard of like,
[22:49.000 -> 22:51.160] you have to be able to drop everything you've said.
[22:51.160 -> 22:53.680] To be fair, we know the drivers differently as people
[22:53.680 -> 22:57.040] as like, you know, than what you see on TV, which is great.
[22:57.040 -> 23:00.040] Cause, so you start to build like a personal level
[23:00.040 -> 23:01.880] of a friendship, like, and you're very aware then
[23:01.880 -> 23:02.720] that like.
[23:02.720 -> 23:04.720] I think a lot of what we do, which is quite good,
[23:04.720 -> 23:06.700] is that like, we'll give our opinion, but then like, if you're very aware then that like. I think a lot of what we do, which is quite good, is that like, we'll give our opinion,
[23:06.700 -> 23:08.500] but then like, if you're saying something,
[23:08.500 -> 23:10.220] I'll always try and come at it from the other angle.
[23:10.220 -> 23:11.860] And I think you do the same for me,
[23:11.860 -> 23:13.340] because otherwise there's no talking point.
[23:13.340 -> 23:16.460] Like, and I watched it last night on Logan Paul's podcast,
[23:16.460 -> 23:18.620] cause he was discussing it with like his co-host and that.
[23:18.620 -> 23:20.460] And they'll always like battle each other
[23:20.460 -> 23:22.260] on what that's, whether they believe,
[23:22.260 -> 23:23.760] whether they agree with a person or not,
[23:23.760 -> 23:25.720] they'll always like battle it, which is good
[23:25.720 -> 23:26.880] because it creates good conversation.
[23:26.880 -> 23:28.240] I think that's what we do.
[23:28.240 -> 23:29.080] Do you reckon?
[23:29.080 -> 23:29.900] Should we battle something now?
[23:29.900 -> 23:31.600] Anything else, any other controversial topics
[23:31.600 -> 23:32.440] you want to raise?
[23:32.440 -> 23:35.940] Um, um, no.
[23:35.940 -> 23:40.080] Another person that's going to be driving an FP1
[23:40.080 -> 23:42.960] is the man, the myth, the legend, Robert Kubica.
[23:42.960 -> 23:43.800] Really?
[23:43.800 -> 23:46.240] Taking the place of Gwen Ujo in FP1 and Abu Dhabi.
[23:46.240 -> 23:48.160] I don't know much about Robert Kubica.
[23:48.160 -> 23:50.440] Neither do I, but what I do know is that
[23:50.440 -> 23:51.920] the guy that we met in Amsterdam,
[23:51.920 -> 23:53.240] who we haven't really spoken about yet
[23:53.240 -> 23:54.360] because we're making a movie
[23:54.360 -> 23:56.840] and guys just hold out because it's coming,
[23:56.840 -> 23:57.680] was a massive fan.
[23:57.680 -> 23:59.080] They loved Robert, they said,
[23:59.080 -> 24:00.200] get a photo of him, didn't they?
[24:00.200 -> 24:01.200] Yeah, because he's Polish,
[24:01.200 -> 24:02.600] or he's like half Polish or whatever.
[24:02.600 -> 24:03.440] Oh.
[24:03.440 -> 24:04.280] And he was like, did you see him?
[24:04.280 -> 24:08.200] Did you see him? Like, please, can you get a a picture and we didn't see him? But yeah, so
[24:08.940 -> 24:10.940] There you go
[24:11.680 -> 24:13.680] Looks quite old. I don't actually know
[24:15.440 -> 24:17.440] But with the power of a
[24:17.820 -> 24:22.880] Smartphone, this is the best thing about having the Google right there just to be able to pull it up as we speak
[24:22.880 -> 24:26.000] Come on, give me the age. Yeah, but I want someone to do it for us.
[24:26.000 -> 24:29.000] I want someone like, uh, Joe Rogan has Jamie.
[24:29.000 -> 24:30.000] What's that, man?
[24:30.000 -> 24:31.000] Jamie, pull that up.
[24:31.000 -> 24:34.000] Hey, uh, but we should get a Formula One driver.
[24:34.000 -> 24:37.000] Fuck me, if you thought Hulkenberg was old, this guy's 37.
[24:37.000 -> 24:38.000] Really?
[24:38.000 -> 24:41.000] Now that is bloody interesting.
[24:41.000 -> 24:44.000] Yeah, but do you know what it might be?
[24:44.000 -> 24:45.000] What?
[24:45.000 -> 24:47.560] They have to let a certain amount of people
[24:47.560 -> 24:49.080] go out in their cars every year, don't they?
[24:49.080 -> 24:51.000] I think it's three sessions in FP1.
[24:51.000 -> 24:53.600] They have to put someone else in it.
[24:53.600 -> 24:54.640] They should have let Sharm out.
[24:54.640 -> 24:57.560] Maybe these guys deliberately pick an old guy.
[24:57.560 -> 25:00.000] Stick Ruth Buscombe in a car, see what she does.
[25:00.000 -> 25:01.200] Ruth Buscombe would be quick.
[25:01.200 -> 25:03.360] She's got the strategy, has she got everything else?
[25:03.360 -> 25:04.200] Who knows?
[25:04.200 -> 25:09.700] Guys, by the way, there's been a progression to that story. I didn't know that anything happened on lap 27 of that fucking race
[25:10.540 -> 25:15.620] What race was it Brazil? Yeah, Brazil. I messaged her going back to the last pod
[25:15.620 -> 25:18.640] I said soft start on soft finish on softs. They did
[25:19.760 -> 25:21.760] bought ass overtook
[25:22.680 -> 25:29.380] Sebastian Vettel on the undercut. I think it was an undercut on lap 27. Yeah. Now what the flipping heck
[25:30.060 -> 25:35.320] How does that happen? No, that's pretty impressive. How does that happen? I didn't even get the crystal ball out for that one
[25:35.320 -> 25:40.580] I tell you what then, give us a strategy for this weekend. Abu Dhabi. Oh, no, I told her I would I can't just I can't
[25:41.280 -> 25:44.020] I'm not performing monkey. All right, I can't just do it live on the pod
[25:44.020 -> 25:45.760] Like I'm gonna message her
[25:45.760 -> 25:49.320] in private probably on Friday and Saturday and release it.
[25:49.320 -> 25:50.640] Cause it's early in the morning, the race.
[25:50.640 -> 25:52.800] So our Sunday race review will be up.
[25:52.800 -> 25:54.600] Shit, what time is it on?
[25:54.600 -> 25:55.440] It's quite early.
[25:55.440 -> 25:57.800] I'll tell you what I can tell you because I-
[25:57.800 -> 25:58.640] Oh, you've got your widget.
[25:58.640 -> 25:59.720] I have a widget on my phone.
[25:59.720 -> 26:01.520] Let's go, Fab's got a widget.
[26:01.520 -> 26:03.360] Guys, we're not, we're not partnered with these people.
[26:03.360 -> 26:04.720] We're not fucking being paid to do this,
[26:04.720 -> 26:06.960] but formula five make a really good widget for the iPhone. What even got a widget! Guys, we're not partnered with these people, we're not fucking being paid to do this, but Formula 5 make a really good widget for the iPhone.
[26:06.960 -> 26:07.800] What even is a widget?
[26:07.800 -> 26:08.800] All the races.
[26:08.800 -> 26:10.880] It's that big thing that sits atop my phone.
[26:10.880 -> 26:12.360] Just shouts Bebo to me.
[26:12.360 -> 26:14.160] It's called Formula 5, guys.
[26:14.160 -> 26:15.440] Shouts MSN.
[26:15.440 -> 26:17.760] It gives you all the FP1, 2, and 3 times.
[26:17.760 -> 26:22.760] So FP1, 10 a.m. Friday, UK time, GMT, Greenwich Mean Time.
[26:23.120 -> 26:25.880] The race is at 1 p.m. on Sunday, so it's not that early.
[26:25.880 -> 26:27.220] You're wrong.
[26:27.220 -> 26:29.460] The race, your widget is wrong.
[26:29.460 -> 26:30.300] No, it's not.
[26:30.300 -> 26:31.680] Your widget is wrong.
[26:31.680 -> 26:32.520] No, it's not.
[26:32.520 -> 26:33.860] Your widget is wrong.
[26:35.080 -> 26:36.520] Oh, is that track time?
[26:36.520 -> 26:38.120] Oh, no, sorry, your widget isn't wrong.
[26:38.120 -> 26:39.540] I must have read it wrong somewhere.
[26:39.540 -> 26:40.960] I read it was at 6am.
[26:40.960 -> 26:44.960] 1pm Sunday, on the race.
[26:44.960 -> 26:48.080] The race on Sunday is the race. Anyway what I was saying,
[26:48.080 -> 26:51.400] let me finish. Maybe they deliberately chose Kibitza because they want to put old guys
[26:51.400 -> 26:55.040] in there that won't crash the car, won't even try and go too quick so that they don't have
[26:55.040 -> 27:00.120] to have the expenses. Maybe they just let older people drive who are more experienced.
[27:00.120 -> 27:04.640] Well who else have Alfa Romeo got? I'm not sure who their reserve drivers are. I know
[27:04.640 -> 27:07.000] they've got Fabio Brocco and Jake Boyes from the Pit Stop podcast
[27:07.000 -> 27:09.000] but they haven't called them up yet
[27:09.000 -> 27:11.000] which is strange
[27:11.000 -> 27:14.000] Nah, they're saving us for when the cars get better
[27:14.000 -> 27:16.000] They didn't want to put us out in a mediocre car
[27:16.000 -> 27:19.000] they were like, we want to get these decent drivers
[27:19.000 -> 27:22.000] Oh, you said there was a rumour of Mr. Vasseau going after Ferrari
[27:22.000 -> 27:26.520] Look, listen, I don't know how much we can talk about this. You've got a big rumor mill going over your head.
[27:26.520 -> 27:28.040] I don't know how much we can talk about this.
[27:28.040 -> 27:29.040] Why?
[27:29.040 -> 27:30.720] Because I don't know how much is out on the internet.
[27:30.720 -> 27:32.040] Should I just Google it right now?
[27:32.040 -> 27:34.840] Wait, where did you find this out?
[27:34.840 -> 27:35.840] Sources.
[27:35.840 -> 27:37.480] But I think it's out.
[27:37.480 -> 27:38.480] It's obviously out now.
[27:38.480 -> 27:39.480] Oh my word.
[27:39.480 -> 27:46.400] Yeah, guys, there is a chance that Frederic Vasseur is taking the spot of Mateo Bonotto at Ferrari
[27:47.240 -> 27:52.480] Mateo is denying it all saying it's not happening, but there are rumors. Yeah, there are rumors going around
[27:52.480 -> 27:57.540] So look again if that does happen would be amazing to get Fred on the pod
[27:57.660 -> 28:02.200] There was a chance he was maybe gonna come on before I know he's been on the red flags podcast. So
[28:03.040 -> 28:06.120] Fred if you're listening, which I know you probably ain't.
[28:06.120 -> 28:07.280] It's definitely not.
[28:07.280 -> 28:09.400] But if anyone from Alfa Romeo is listening,
[28:09.400 -> 28:10.920] Ruth, I know you are,
[28:10.920 -> 28:12.320] you always listen to our pods.
[28:12.320 -> 28:14.080] Tell Fred he needs to come on.
[28:15.320 -> 28:16.440] Tell him now.
[28:16.440 -> 28:18.800] Tell him, go, put whatever you're doing, pause the pod,
[28:18.800 -> 28:20.440] go tell him right now.
[28:20.440 -> 28:22.280] I'd also like to clear up something from last week.
[28:22.280 -> 28:24.680] I said that they should stop the laps during a safety car.
[28:24.680 -> 28:25.120] Obviously the fuel would run out, which is pretty obvious. I'd also like to clear up something from last week. I said that they should stop the laps during a safety car obviously
[28:25.360 -> 28:29.600] The fuel would run out which is pretty obvious. I didn't think about that
[28:30.040 -> 28:32.520] They'd have to refuel which they don't do anymore
[28:32.520 -> 28:36.480] So okay, I take back my idea about stopping the lap counter for the safety cars
[28:36.800 -> 28:42.200] But thank you for listening to me and also I understand why the Formula One car isn't the safety car
[28:42.200 -> 28:45.360] Thank you for listening to that as well. Do you know what?
[28:45.360 -> 28:49.360] I would love for them for like one season,
[28:49.360 -> 28:52.240] or even just one race of a season to like let you
[28:52.240 -> 28:55.000] just decide all the rules and everything that's going on.
[28:55.000 -> 28:57.080] It would be the best season ever.
[28:57.080 -> 28:58.080] It'd be the best season ever.
[28:58.080 -> 29:00.320] If I had to make immediate changes,
[29:00.320 -> 29:01.400] if they said to me,
[29:01.400 -> 29:03.760] Jake, we've got 500 million,
[29:03.760 -> 29:05.360] we're going to give it to you to sort all the,
[29:05.360 -> 29:06.520] they'd have to pay me a lot of money
[29:06.520 -> 29:08.160] because my expertise are valuable.
[29:08.160 -> 29:11.320] To make our sport amazing, what would I do next year?
[29:11.320 -> 29:14.520] Right, so first of all, I'd add two more teams.
[29:14.520 -> 29:16.000] We'd have another four cars
[29:16.840 -> 29:21.080] and I'd automatically assign the winner of F2 to one.
[29:21.080 -> 29:23.300] I believe like maybe even the top three,
[29:23.300 -> 29:25.560] maybe the top two in F2 go to each team and then they get matched with like Schumacher to one, Ricc like maybe even the top three, maybe the top two in F2 go to each team
[29:25.560 -> 29:27.520] and then they get matched with like Schumacher to one,
[29:27.520 -> 29:29.160] Ricardo to the other.
[29:29.160 -> 29:32.960] And then because they're new,
[29:32.960 -> 29:35.240] they should get like extra money
[29:35.240 -> 29:36.760] so that they can be really good,
[29:36.760 -> 29:37.920] which would challenge it,
[29:37.920 -> 29:39.840] let people in F2 have a chance at the top,
[29:39.840 -> 29:41.120] show how good they are.
[29:41.120 -> 29:43.680] I'd also try and look at the grid format.
[29:43.680 -> 29:53.880] I'm not sure about reverse grid, but I'm reverse grid but I reckon there's like a better format. I'm not sure yet, I'd have to consider that.
[29:53.880 -> 30:02.800] Do you know what I'd do? I just want to close the pack up. I would keep the 499,999,995
[30:02.800 -> 30:07.480] million and just load up everyone's car with banana skins and just say
[30:07.480 -> 30:11.280] you got three banana skins each do your worst.
[30:11.280 -> 30:18.280] I'd hire Ruth Buscombe to make all my sensible decisions because she's an expert.
[30:18.280 -> 30:23.840] Do you know what if Fred leaves yeah then like I wonder if there's like I
[30:23.840 -> 30:28.240] wonder who's gonna take the spot. I wonder who's gonna take the spot after a minute
[30:28.240 -> 30:32.040] because if Roof's the team boss could it be the buzzcombing chance we could
[30:32.040 -> 30:37.880] potentially get our bums in them seats oh you want to get you want to do it do I want to be a
[30:37.880 -> 30:41.640] Formula One driver of course I want to be a driver see what I was thinking was
[30:41.640 -> 30:46.460] Roof goes to team boss and then you and me are like a joint strategist
[30:46.720 -> 30:52.440] Okay, but like we don't we don't talk to anyone else on the team. We just amongst ourselves. We destroyed
[30:52.960 -> 30:58.280] We're just gonna have to come back on Sunday and tell them what strategy you pitched and see how well you get on
[30:58.360 -> 31:00.560] Yeah, see if you can get another accurate strategy
[31:01.200 -> 31:03.200] Yeah, yeah, I mean
[31:06.240 -> 31:11.460] accurate strategy yeah yeah I mean there's a good chance it's correct there's a good chance they could possibly even win from my strategy probably the best
[31:11.460 -> 31:14.200] race this season by the way guys little fun fact for you this is the most
[31:14.200 -> 31:18.800] successful year for Alfa Romeo Saubat since 2012 yeah I like you told me that
[31:18.800 -> 31:29.160] yesterday that's amazing and I feel like I've had a significant hand in that well maybe, maybe collectively we have, because we've been around Alfa Romeo.
[31:29.160 -> 31:31.360] Maybe we've brought the spirits up within the team.
[31:31.360 -> 31:33.960] I just think we've definitely done something.
[31:33.960 -> 31:37.800] Yeah. Well, one thing's for sure, Fabio Bocca.
[31:37.800 -> 31:41.560] This season, we have definitely done something.
[31:41.560 -> 31:43.840] Mate, what are we going to do without the Formula One?
[31:43.840 -> 31:44.560] I don't know.
[31:44.560 -> 31:45.000] For the next three or four months. I don't know. We're just going to have to start doing something else. I know what we going to do without the Formula One? I don't know.
[31:45.000 -> 31:45.820] For the next like three or four months?
[31:45.820 -> 31:46.660] I don't know.
[31:46.660 -> 31:47.960] We're just going to have to start doing something else.
[31:47.960 -> 31:49.280] I know what's going to happen.
[31:49.280 -> 31:50.120] What?
[31:50.120 -> 31:52.880] That bloody World Cup is going to be on the TV every day.
[31:52.880 -> 31:54.320] Thank God.
[31:54.320 -> 31:55.160] I can't wait.
[31:55.160 -> 31:57.680] The World Cup is going to be on the TV every single day.
[31:57.680 -> 32:00.320] I'm going to have to find something else to do with my time.
[32:00.320 -> 32:01.480] It's a shame.
[32:01.480 -> 32:02.320] It is a shame.
[32:02.320 -> 32:03.640] But guys, it's also a shame
[32:03.640 -> 32:05.400] because this is the end of our podcast.
[32:05.400 -> 32:07.000] Yeah, it's been a long couple of days.
[32:07.000 -> 32:08.000] I'm glad my mum got a dog.
[32:08.000 -> 32:11.000] I'm going to post a photo on my Instagram at Jake Boyes.
[32:11.000 -> 32:12.000] It's really sweet.
[32:12.000 -> 32:18.000] We'll be back after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for our season review roundup of the race.
[32:18.000 -> 32:22.000] And ultimately, let's just hope George Russell wins and gets fastest lap.
[32:22.000 -> 32:26.000] Because then there could be a potential for second in the driver's standings which would be crazy.
[32:26.000 -> 32:28.000] Now that would truly be something.
[32:28.000 -> 32:30.000] It'd be a madness.
