[01:32.000 -> 01:36.000] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the Pit Stop Podcast!
[01:36.000 -> 01:38.000] Checo is third on the podium,
[01:38.000 -> 01:43.000] Max Verstappen has broken the record for the most wins in a Formula 1 season ever,
[01:43.000 -> 01:45.640] the Mexican Grand Prix is over.
[01:45.640 -> 01:46.760] I want to say what a race,
[01:46.760 -> 01:48.160] but I actually thought it was kind of boring.
[01:48.160 -> 01:50.580] It wasn't one of the best races of the season.
[01:50.580 -> 01:52.280] And before it, they were saying how there's like
[01:52.280 -> 01:53.920] so many overtakes on this track.
[01:53.920 -> 01:57.360] And I was like, Fab, this is going to be a fucking blubber.
[01:57.360 -> 01:58.200] This is going to be a great one.
[01:58.200 -> 01:59.440] On the first corner, they're all going to be overtaking.
[01:59.440 -> 02:00.280] It's pretty boring.
[02:00.280 -> 02:01.600] We saw a little bit of friction going on.
[02:01.600 -> 02:04.000] So luckily Fab's notebook was out again.
[02:04.000 -> 02:05.320] Fab's notebook has been out. Whilst Fab's notebook has been at it.
[02:05.320 -> 02:07.100] Whilst Fab's been taking the notes for the race,
[02:07.100 -> 02:08.240] I've been thoroughly enjoying it
[02:08.240 -> 02:10.440] and spent 20 pound on-
[02:10.440 -> 02:11.280] Pick and mix sweets.
[02:11.280 -> 02:12.720] Pick and mix, guys, no joke.
[02:12.720 -> 02:13.560] We're in the liveroo.
[02:13.560 -> 02:15.440] Why don't you explain to the people what's in the bowl here?
[02:15.440 -> 02:17.200] Because there's an awful amount of sweets here.
[02:17.200 -> 02:19.880] Well, I don't know if some of our listeners
[02:19.880 -> 02:20.840] are from all around the world,
[02:20.840 -> 02:22.040] but in England, there used to be a shop
[02:22.040 -> 02:23.600] called like Woolworths or Wilkinsons
[02:23.600 -> 02:24.720] and you could do pick and mix.
[02:24.720 -> 02:25.520] Woolies. Woolies, yeah, you remember. Everyone remembers Woolies. Yeah, pick and mix. So used to be a shop called like Woolworths or Wilkinsons and you could do pick a mix. Woolies.
[02:25.520 -> 02:26.360] Woolies, yeah.
[02:26.360 -> 02:27.480] Everyone remembers Woolies.
[02:27.480 -> 02:28.320] Yeah, pick a mix.
[02:28.320 -> 02:30.160] You'd get a bag, you'd go fill it up and you'd weigh it
[02:30.160 -> 02:31.920] and it used to be reasonable when you were younger,
[02:31.920 -> 02:33.560] but then it got really expensive.
[02:33.560 -> 02:37.360] I've just spent 20 fucking quid on a bag of sweets.
[02:37.360 -> 02:40.040] And no joke, the bag was tidy when it turned up.
[02:40.040 -> 02:41.240] And I bought you a five, guys.
[02:41.240 -> 02:43.360] Mate, you can't be chewing while we're doing a pod
[02:43.360 -> 02:45.680] because we all know that I got in trouble
[02:45.680 -> 02:47.480] for slapping some gum around my lips.
[02:47.480 -> 02:49.560] Just quickly tell them about the Mexican Grand Prix.
[02:49.560 -> 02:51.280] Well, hopefully the people would have been watching
[02:51.280 -> 02:52.240] the Mexican Grand Prix.
[02:52.240 -> 02:53.320] It was a bit of an eventful one.
[02:53.320 -> 02:55.480] We had a few different strategies going on.
[02:55.480 -> 02:57.480] Some of them didn't pay off, some of them did.
[02:57.480 -> 02:59.240] We're gonna dive into Fab's notebook,
[02:59.240 -> 03:01.720] but first, Jake, why don't we tell the people
[03:01.720 -> 03:04.080] what you're absolutely infatuated with at the moment.
[03:04.080 -> 03:06.220] And we're actually gonna start this pod in the style
[03:06.220 -> 03:08.220] of it and then we've actually didn't
[03:08.580 -> 03:09.900] sir
[03:09.900 -> 03:13.940] Please remind me my king the horse is dead
[03:15.100 -> 03:20.460] Your horse has died in battle my king the well-being of my slayer horse is
[03:21.500 -> 03:22.860] poor
[03:22.860 -> 03:26.680] Winter is coming. Jake's been watching Game of Thrones.
[03:26.680 -> 03:29.720] We've been watching Game of Thrones.
[03:29.720 -> 03:32.760] I get a bit bored and I lose my concentration.
[03:32.760 -> 03:34.040] Jake's really been all over it.
[03:34.040 -> 03:35.000] I've actually found,
[03:35.000 -> 03:36.720] this isn't a promotion for Game of Thrones,
[03:36.720 -> 03:38.800] but loads of people have said to me over the years,
[03:38.800 -> 03:39.640] you've got to watch it.
[03:39.640 -> 03:41.360] I never did.
[03:41.360 -> 03:44.240] I've started watching it and now I'm into it.
[03:44.240 -> 03:45.540] The Mexican Grand Prix's been on and we're talking about Game of Thrones. Let's go straight'm into it. The Mexican Grand Prix's been on
[03:45.540 -> 03:46.700] and we're talking about Gabriel Frodes.
[03:46.700 -> 03:48.160] Let's go straight back into it.
[03:48.160 -> 03:51.240] Right, top three, Verstappen won.
[03:51.240 -> 03:53.520] Hamilton is where I want to focus
[03:53.520 -> 03:55.120] most of my conversation today.
[03:55.120 -> 03:56.220] Yeah, yeah, we can go there.
[03:56.220 -> 03:59.320] Okay, so why don't we do your notebook facts.
[03:59.320 -> 04:00.200] I'm just eating sweets, man.
[04:00.200 -> 04:01.960] But before, can you stop chewing?
[04:01.960 -> 04:03.680] I know, I'm literally doing the thing
[04:03.680 -> 04:04.560] which I told you not to do.
[04:04.560 -> 04:06.500] Stop chewing, I'm taking the sweets away
[04:06.500 -> 04:07.000] No!
[04:07.000 -> 04:08.000] We're completely...
[04:08.500 -> 04:11.000] Before you do your notebook I've got one note
[04:11.000 -> 04:14.000] I wrote one note from one thing I heard and I think this is the first thing we should talk about
[04:14.000 -> 04:15.000] It's in bold too
[04:15.000 -> 04:17.000] Yeah because it's the first thing I wrote on my notes
[04:18.000 -> 04:22.000] Alex Albon lapped Latifi today
[04:22.000 -> 04:23.000] Fuck off!
[04:23.000 -> 04:24.000] Did he really?
[04:24.000 -> 04:26.320] I swear. I saw Latifi was
[04:26.840 -> 04:28.840] 51 seconds behind
[04:28.840 -> 04:33.720] Me the person in front of him when your teammate laps you in that own car. There's a problem
[04:34.640 -> 04:38.760] Good thing he's fucking going. Well, he is going he is going I may be taking his seat
[04:39.280 -> 04:46.320] Logan sergeant who may or may have not followed pit stop on Instagram. Logan Sargent did follow Pitstop.
[04:46.320 -> 04:48.680] I feel like Oscar Piastri may have helped that happen.
[04:48.680 -> 04:51.040] Hasn't replied to the DM yet.
[04:51.040 -> 04:53.920] Sargent, if you're listening, we do want you on the pod.
[04:53.920 -> 04:55.560] Please. I think the fans do as well.
[04:55.560 -> 04:56.400] Yeah, that'd be great, wouldn't it?
[04:56.400 -> 04:58.920] So get your shit together and come on.
[04:58.920 -> 05:00.360] Because it'll be a good fucking episode.
[05:00.360 -> 05:01.180] It'd be really good, though.
[05:01.180 -> 05:02.280] It would be great to chat to him.
[05:02.280 -> 05:03.880] Hope you guys love the one with Oscar.
[05:03.880 -> 05:05.720] It went down really well on YouTube
[05:06.120 -> 05:09.600] He's such a great guy. So we've got plenty more guests coming. It's a
[05:10.160 -> 05:14.680] There's so much happening because we did Oscar we haven't spoke to the people about you know
[05:14.680 -> 05:19.960] Like the budget cap breach everything should we do the race first and then catch up with everything that's been out
[05:19.960 -> 05:25.600] We not we've haven't spoken about the budget cap breach. We haven't spoken about the reper cap breach quite a lot. We haven't spoken about the repercussions, what the penalty was.
[05:25.600 -> 05:27.400] That's your's and that's Jake's.
[05:27.400 -> 05:30.800] Yeah, alright, fly into the race, remind the people what we just watched.
[05:30.800 -> 05:32.800] Guys, we just had the Mexican Grand Prix.
[05:32.800 -> 05:37.200] I wanted to say straight off the bat, a really impressive shift from Lewis Hamilton there.
[05:37.200 -> 05:39.800] I don't know where Mercedes have got this pace from.
[05:39.800 -> 05:42.200] As if they pulled out of thin air, really.
[05:42.200 -> 05:47.440] I don't know where they got the speed from, but they were absolutely flying today. I think it's incredibly impressive that he was able to...
[05:48.560 -> 05:54.960] Hamilton, that red ball was so quick and Hamilton was able to sit comfortably in front of Perez
[05:54.960 -> 05:59.600] which is a red ball. Was it a one stop? No, no, two stop, two stop. So basically
[06:01.600 -> 06:05.000] Verstappen and Perez started on softs.
[06:05.040 -> 06:07.080] Mercedes, both Mercedes cars,
[06:07.080 -> 06:09.920] Russell and Hamilton started on mediums.
[06:09.920 -> 06:11.100] Hamilton said at the end of the race
[06:11.100 -> 06:13.240] he wishes he started on softs
[06:13.240 -> 06:14.640] because they managed to get,
[06:14.640 -> 06:17.080] Verstappen got 25 laps out of his softs,
[06:17.080 -> 06:18.720] which was crazy.
[06:18.720 -> 06:21.840] Which enabled them to then switch to mediums.
[06:21.840 -> 06:23.760] Verstappen did like 50 laps,
[06:23.760 -> 06:26.720] like, or like 49 laps with a pair of mediums.
[06:26.720 -> 06:29.080] Which when you consider the tires blow up
[06:29.080 -> 06:31.360] if they go past a certain amount of laps that they can do.
[06:31.360 -> 06:32.200] Oh they do, don't they?
[06:32.200 -> 06:34.160] Then that's very impressive.
[06:34.160 -> 06:35.960] I'm surprised we didn't see any blown tires today,
[06:35.960 -> 06:36.800] I must admit.
[06:36.800 -> 06:40.720] A lot of cradgy, a lot of cradgy, a lot of credit
[06:40.720 -> 06:43.000] needs to go towards Red Bull strategy as well.
[06:43.000 -> 06:44.960] Hannah Schmitz, once again.
[06:44.960 -> 06:48.160] Hannah Schmitz once again changing the game. She's shown what she can do she's
[06:48.160 -> 06:53.240] amazing right she is being such an important part of Max Verstappen
[06:53.240 -> 06:58.880] breaking the record for 14 wins in a season like she's a genius. She really is
[06:58.880 -> 07:04.680] a genius I I can't for a second fathom what these people have to do do you have
[07:04.680 -> 07:06.320] any insight into what she does? Well I did actually see a second fathom what these people have to do. Do you have any insight into what she does?
[07:06.320 -> 07:08.840] Well, I did actually see a cool video of Ted Kravitz
[07:08.840 -> 07:12.440] and her in the Red Bull thing a while ago
[07:12.440 -> 07:13.720] and they like drew some lines out
[07:13.720 -> 07:15.000] and it showed how they did it.
[07:15.000 -> 07:16.640] So all I know about strategies
[07:16.640 -> 07:18.440] is about them drawing some lines,
[07:18.440 -> 07:20.000] but I did find it interesting that the Mercedes drivers-
[07:20.000 -> 07:22.000] You're really good at drawing lines.
[07:22.920 -> 07:23.760] Am I?
[07:23.760 -> 07:24.580] Yeah.
[07:24.580 -> 07:26.000] How often do I draw lines?
[07:26.000 -> 07:29.000] When you had to write out the fastest lap sign for our fastest lap.
[07:29.000 -> 07:31.000] Oh yeah, that now has Oscar Piastri on it.
[07:31.000 -> 07:32.000] Yeah, that one.
[07:32.000 -> 07:37.000] Hope you guys like that by the way. If you listened to it and wondered what his lap was, you have to watch the YouTube vid.
[07:37.000 -> 07:40.000] Because we probably do have some listeners that aren't subbed to the YouTube.
[07:40.000 -> 07:47.000] When we first started this leaderboard, we were going to just put anyone, any one of our guests on it, but now I think we're just gonna limit it to drivers.
[07:47.000 -> 07:53.240] Well we got the fridge, haven't we? They stick to the fridge as well, so like anyone else that isn't a driver, we just whack them on the fridge.
[07:53.240 -> 07:55.960] We'll have a fridge leaderboard as well, like our friends.
[07:55.960 -> 07:56.680] Yeah, alright, that works.
[07:56.680 -> 07:59.400] Yeah, we could flood the fridge of them, that'd be hilarious.
[07:59.400 -> 08:01.960] Because we do have some repeat guests coming back, like Joshua Begembe.
[08:01.960 -> 08:02.760] Joshua Begembe!
[08:02.760 -> 08:05.800] Who'll be coming back to set a lap who we were hanging out with today.
[08:05.800 -> 08:07.200] Yeah, oh we actually were?
[08:07.200 -> 08:09.480] Okay, let's just talk about that for a bit.
[08:09.480 -> 08:11.880] Yeah, we saw Joshua today, we went go-karting,
[08:11.880 -> 08:13.320] we filmed it all.
[08:13.320 -> 08:16.980] Right, okay, me and Fab got up at 6 a.m. this morning?
[08:16.980 -> 08:17.820] Yeah, it was.
[08:17.820 -> 08:20.200] We woke up at 6 a.m. on a Sunday.
[08:20.200 -> 08:22.720] Now luckily, we had daylight savings,
[08:22.720 -> 08:24.440] so we got an extra, is that what it's called?
[08:24.440 -> 08:26.100] What does that mean? That's what the Yanks call it.
[08:26.100 -> 08:27.400] What does daylight savings mean?
[08:27.400 -> 08:30.600] I don't know, it means the clocks go backwards. So we got an extra hour in bed.
[08:30.600 -> 08:35.300] I didn't even realize that and I was awake when it happened so when did I lose the hour?
[08:35.300 -> 08:37.100] Like I was watching TV on my laptop.
[08:37.100 -> 08:38.000] I really don't know, I don't know.
[08:38.000 -> 08:39.800] And then it just disappeared and I didn't even notice.
[08:39.800 -> 08:41.000] Were you watching Game of Thrones?
[08:42.200 -> 08:52.200] That's what it was, you stayed up late to watch Game of Thrones my side do not raise your voice at the king it was really
[08:52.200 -> 08:57.720] good Joshua is an absolute dude and we didn't realize how fast this guy is so
[08:57.720 -> 09:03.320] right I'm not gonna lie coming into this I thought you and me were older we're
[09:03.320 -> 09:09.180] clearly more experienced we've been driving on the road for a while we're gonna absolutely smash this kid
[09:09.180 -> 09:17.760] into oblivion and it didn't happen his car was faster than ours and he had wet
[09:17.760 -> 09:21.840] tires on of course his car was faster than ours but it's a national champion he beat us with his eyes shut
[09:21.840 -> 09:25.320] he knows these tracks left right center I'd like to see that.
[09:25.320 -> 09:28.920] I just would like to say that I was quicker than Fab, you'll see that in the video.
[09:28.920 -> 09:33.800] And also, it was a completely wet track and we were on slicks.
[09:33.800 -> 09:39.400] So Joshua Mugenbe had lovely wet tyres on his car and he was able to fly around.
[09:39.400 -> 09:42.960] Me and Fab had slicks in the pissing rain.
[09:42.960 -> 09:43.960] Yeah, we did.
[09:43.960 -> 09:45.440] And anyone who follows us on Instagram
[09:45.440 -> 09:49.980] We would have seen the clip of us spinning out in unison. Yeah, there's loads of videos of us going through puddles
[09:49.980 -> 09:53.680] it was an impossible drive, but a great day with Joshua great to see him and
[09:54.960 -> 10:01.880] Luckily, they weren't it wasn't raining in Mexico and they weren't running slicks there because you would have seen a very similar similar outcome
[10:01.880 -> 10:05.200] Well, we did see some slicks get used by the driver of the day.
[10:05.200 -> 10:11.360] Do you think Daniel Ricciardo was a worthy driver of the day today? Daniel Ricciardo. Go on. Just
[10:11.360 -> 10:17.200] when he pulls it out the bag and out of nowhere he seems to have this fucking rocket fuel in his car
[10:17.840 -> 10:23.120] he goes and gets a 10 second penalty. Yeah what happened there? So you were out the room actually
[10:23.120 -> 10:28.800] yeah he had a massive collision, well not a massive collision quite a light collision with Sonoda. Then he got a 10 second penalty for it
[10:28.800 -> 10:34.440] Yeah, and Sonoda DNF'd. So then Norris then let Ricciardo through because Mercedes said to him
[10:35.240 -> 10:40.480] Obviously, he's got a 10 second penalty, let him have a go at it. McLaren. Yeah, Adam Seagull I think said it. Adam Seagull
[10:40.480 -> 10:45.160] Yeah, straight from Adam Seagull's mouth. And it worked, because Ricardo finished seventh.
[10:45.160 -> 10:48.400] He's got points, coming out on them softs, absolutely flying.
[10:48.400 -> 10:49.840] Yeah.
[10:49.840 -> 10:53.200] He's clearly still got something in him, mate.
[10:53.200 -> 10:54.400] When you see stuff like that,
[10:54.400 -> 10:57.880] when you see a performance like that, he still has that.
[10:57.880 -> 10:58.720] Do you reckon it's coming,
[10:58.720 -> 11:00.000] because it's coming to the end of the season,
[11:00.000 -> 11:01.240] he just thinks, fuck it.
[11:01.240 -> 11:02.080] I don't know.
[11:02.080 -> 11:03.880] The pressure's off maybe a little bit?
[11:06.080 -> 11:07.360] I don't know, it's a tough one.
[11:07.360 -> 11:10.880] I will say that I loved seeing it today,
[11:10.880 -> 11:11.960] the order of the cars,
[11:11.960 -> 11:14.040] like with Ferrari is a different conversation.
[11:14.040 -> 11:14.920] We'll get on to that in a minute.
[11:14.920 -> 11:17.880] But I did like seeing like the Mercedes up there
[11:17.880 -> 11:21.000] and it was like Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren.
[11:21.000 -> 11:23.320] It felt like the four teams that it should be.
[11:23.320 -> 11:24.800] Missed it, we've missed it.
[11:24.800 -> 11:26.800] Yeah, like I feel like that's the top eight
[11:26.800 -> 11:28.720] that you kind of feel like will be the top eight.
[11:28.720 -> 11:31.160] Like obviously the Alpines and the other people
[11:31.160 -> 11:32.520] are coming in, but with the odd one,
[11:32.520 -> 11:35.220] but you kind of saw it today.
[11:37.440 -> 11:41.840] I do think that Mercedes look unbelievable though.
[11:41.840 -> 11:44.960] Like, because one thing with Mercedes,
[11:44.960 -> 11:46.560] which I've thought for a while is I just feel
[11:46.560 -> 11:51.440] like they've really been developing the car, always looking towards next season.
[11:51.440 -> 11:53.440] You seem to have a little bit of a theory about next season.
[11:53.440 -> 11:57.900] I just have said for a long time that I feel like Mercedes are developing this season for
[11:57.900 -> 12:02.480] next season because they're a new regulation, like they've got a new driver line up, perfect
[12:02.480 -> 12:04.400] time to let both drivers get used to it.
[12:04.400 -> 12:08.240] And you know what, with Red Bull having that wind tunnel time penalty reduction of the hell
[12:08.240 -> 12:11.440] It is yeah for the penalty could be huge for Mercedes next year
[12:11.440 -> 12:15.860] They're gonna obviously come out the bag with something strong aren't they the best construct of all time?
[12:15.860 -> 12:22.600] I want to see McLaren. Oh, no, this is ridiculous. I need confirmation. Is it Mercedes or Ferrari of the most constructors?
[12:23.840 -> 12:29.820] It's Ferrari is Ferrari. God's sake. Yeah, Ferrari 15. What's no is it 16?
[12:29.820 -> 12:33.220] I don't know and then it's you're the man with the numbers and then it's Williams
[12:34.320 -> 12:37.840] Why do we do this to ourselves? Okay. Well, how do we do this? I'm brain dead
[12:37.840 -> 12:40.720] We got up at 6 a.m. This morning. I went to bed at 3 a.m. At 3 a.m.
[12:40.720 -> 12:45.000] This is why people tell us we're stupid, getting stuff wrong.
[12:45.000 -> 12:46.000] I just can't remember.
[12:46.000 -> 12:48.000] Yeah, well, that's what happens.
[12:48.000 -> 12:51.000] Once you get your next stat, I'm going to just quickly fact check that.
[12:51.000 -> 12:52.000] I want to tell the people the order.
[12:52.000 -> 12:56.000] Hamilton pitted, came out on hards, questionable.
[12:56.000 -> 12:59.000] I think a lot of the teams actually thought the hards were going to do wonders today,
[12:59.000 -> 13:02.000] but it turns out the mediums are actually a lot better.
[13:02.000 -> 13:03.000] We'd just like to clear this one up.
[13:03.000 -> 13:05.200] Ferrari have got 16, Williams have got nine,
[13:05.200 -> 13:07.600] McLaren have got eight, Mercedes have got seven.
[13:08.680 -> 13:11.400] Do you think, right, serious question,
[13:11.400 -> 13:14.520] do you think there is any hope for Williams
[13:15.560 -> 13:17.560] at all in the future?
[13:17.560 -> 13:18.400] Yeah, of course.
[13:18.400 -> 13:19.320] So much hope.
[13:19.320 -> 13:20.460] They're a massive team.
[13:21.640 -> 13:22.880] Look what I've just read out, mate.
[13:22.880 -> 13:24.240] Massive team in what way?
[13:24.240 -> 13:25.320] Look what I've just read out. They've won nine in what way? Look what I've just read out.
[13:25.320 -> 13:26.520] They've won nine constructs.
[13:26.520 -> 13:28.920] They've won more constructors than McLaren and Mercedes.
[13:28.920 -> 13:29.920] Yeah.
[13:29.920 -> 13:30.920] Yeah, I don't know what you're going to say.
[13:30.920 -> 13:31.760] Not in the last 10 years.
[13:31.760 -> 13:32.680] That's not what they got now.
[13:32.680 -> 13:34.120] Yeah, okay.
[13:34.120 -> 13:36.640] Look, Williams, I don't know a lot
[13:36.640 -> 13:38.240] and this is really difficult for me
[13:38.240 -> 13:40.200] to actually give an actual opinion on
[13:40.200 -> 13:41.960] because I don't know the story,
[13:41.960 -> 13:44.880] but I am aware that they got sold or something
[13:44.880 -> 13:45.760] like a couple of years ago
[13:45.760 -> 13:49.380] There was like a big switch up. So Frank Williams passed away
[13:50.120 -> 13:54.240] Okay, now his daughter is in charge. I thought she sold it
[13:55.200 -> 14:00.080] Did she? See for a long time I got her confused with Suzy Wolfe
[14:00.340 -> 14:03.500] Now I thought Toto Wolfe's wife was actually running
[14:03.940 -> 14:08.000] So I actually thought Toto's wife runs McLaren eSports.
[14:08.000 -> 14:10.000] Runs electric McLaren. Doesn't she?
[14:10.000 -> 14:13.000] Formula E, yeah, yeah, they're Mercedes.
[14:13.000 -> 14:15.000] Yeah, that's what Toto Wolff's wife does.
[14:15.000 -> 14:16.000] Yes.
[14:16.000 -> 14:17.000] Yes, that's good.
[14:17.000 -> 14:18.000] So we're halfway there.
[14:18.000 -> 14:20.000] We're halfway there.
[14:20.000 -> 14:22.000] Formula E, by the way, great sport.
[14:22.000 -> 14:25.060] Yeah, I feel like it's just something we need to learn about, because there was a lot to learn. We still haven't learned Formula 1, let alone trying to learn Formula E by the way, great sport. Yeah, I feel like it was just something we need to learn about because there was a lot to learn.
[14:25.060 -> 14:26.500] Like we still haven't learned Formula 1,
[14:26.500 -> 14:28.060] let alone trying to learn Formula E.
[14:28.060 -> 14:29.900] Do you think there's like a,
[14:29.900 -> 14:31.460] like do you think Formula E could get any bigger
[14:31.460 -> 14:33.620] or do you think it's just lacking?
[14:33.620 -> 14:35.700] Like for me, yeah, I'll be deadly honest.
[14:35.700 -> 14:40.260] I think Formula E is lacking the noise of the cars.
[14:40.260 -> 14:44.700] I think Formula E is just lacking the fans.
[14:44.700 -> 14:46.440] Like because it's so new,
[14:46.440 -> 14:49.000] they have such a unique selling point
[14:49.000 -> 14:51.360] where they can go to the middle of a city.
[14:51.360 -> 14:53.360] Like, no other track can just do that.
[14:53.360 -> 14:54.800] Like, they can just go and drop one.
[14:54.800 -> 14:56.800] Like, they literally drop it outside our flat.
[14:56.800 -> 14:58.840] Yeah, but when, how new is it though?
[14:58.840 -> 15:00.480] They just need to build the hype around it.
[15:00.480 -> 15:01.560] 2014.
[15:01.560 -> 15:02.640] That's still quite new.
[15:02.640 -> 15:04.080] So it's been like eight years.
[15:04.080 -> 15:07.140] Yeah, but you got to remember like COVID's happened
[15:07.140 -> 15:08.580] throughout them years.
[15:08.580 -> 15:11.900] You know, it's been like a weird, a weird period of time
[15:11.900 -> 15:14.300] and Formula One's evolved, blown up throughout them years.
[15:14.300 -> 15:16.100] So it's took the highlight.
[15:16.100 -> 15:16.940] Do you know what?
[15:16.940 -> 15:19.200] A very interesting point has just come to my mind.
[15:19.200 -> 15:21.400] Very controversial point.
[15:21.400 -> 15:27.520] And the question was from someone who I don't know who asked it or who
[15:27.520 -> 15:32.680] said it could have been Lewis Hamilton he was saying where does the money go
[15:32.680 -> 15:37.840] that Red Bull are going to have to pay the seven million what happens with that
[15:37.840 -> 15:42.680] money right because someone was saying they should invest it into other
[15:42.680 -> 15:47.280] divisions or other racing that hasn't got enough money.
[15:47.280 -> 15:50.520] I.e. we've just seen W Series have to cancel
[15:50.520 -> 15:53.100] their last three races of the year, whatever it was.
[15:53.100 -> 15:54.440] Where's that Red Bull money gonna go
[15:54.440 -> 15:57.400] and could it go into these, into W Series?
[15:57.400 -> 15:59.360] I reckon that Red Bull money is gonna go
[15:59.360 -> 16:02.000] on a massive fucking party on a private island
[16:02.000 -> 16:02.840] in the middle of nowhere,
[16:02.840 -> 16:05.240] the whole of the FIA dancing around on tables.
[16:05.240 -> 16:06.240] Do you think that's what's going to go on?
[16:06.240 -> 16:07.240] With a live band and Drake and 50 Cent performing.
[16:07.240 -> 16:08.240] They just check in the bank and they see the money coming in and go, yeah, right boys,
[16:08.240 -> 16:09.240] that's it boys, we're off, we're going to Bali.
[16:09.240 -> 16:10.240] Book the jet, buy the island, the FIA are coming.
[16:10.240 -> 16:11.240] But it's a good question though, like where is it?
[16:11.240 -> 16:12.240] You've raised an amazing question.
[16:12.240 -> 16:13.240] It's something that I wouldn't even have thought about.
[16:13.240 -> 16:25.960] I hadn't even thought
[16:25.960 -> 16:30.340] About that. Yeah, because this is another stupid question, but I'd assume so to the FIA
[16:31.680 -> 16:33.680] Cover W series. Yeah
[16:34.200 -> 16:36.200] definitely
[16:36.280 -> 16:43.120] Nope, I'm gonna say yeah because I only say is it definitely because I saw something about like apparently f1
[16:43.120 -> 16:49.120] I consider in launching their own series but apparently W Series isn't an F1 series
[16:49.120 -> 16:54.640] okay W Series is like an external add-on it's not actually part of the F series I
[16:54.640 -> 16:58.720] could be so wrong but I've heard something about this and that's what you
[16:58.720 -> 17:09.080] are right because the W Series car is the Tatus F3 T318, a race car homologated to the latest FIA F3 specification.
[17:11.280 -> 17:16.280] So it's a race car that is homologated,
[17:16.360 -> 17:19.920] homologated to the latest FIA F3,
[17:19.920 -> 17:21.540] basically it's as fast as an F3 car,
[17:21.540 -> 17:23.320] but is it run by FIA?
[17:23.320 -> 17:24.760] We're not any closer than we were two minutes ago.
[17:24.760 -> 17:25.560] No, just again.
[17:25.560 -> 17:28.640] No, we've just gone further away.
[17:28.640 -> 17:31.000] You've confused me so much.
[17:31.000 -> 17:31.840] Food for thought.
[17:31.840 -> 17:32.680] You are right though.
[17:32.680 -> 17:33.500] Food for thought.
[17:33.500 -> 17:34.340] You're spot on.
[17:34.340 -> 17:35.160] Food for thought.
[17:35.160 -> 17:36.000] Honestly, food for thought.
[17:36.000 -> 17:36.840] I'm starving.
[17:36.840 -> 17:38.160] You just had a fucking fire, guys.
[17:38.160 -> 17:39.000] You are.
[17:39.000 -> 17:39.840] Mm, lovely.
[17:39.840 -> 17:40.660] It was lovely, brother.
[17:40.660 -> 17:41.500] You are right.
[17:41.500 -> 17:44.880] Like, if they are able to pull all that money off people,
[17:44.880 -> 17:49.620] why can't they just throw more money towards W series and offer more opportunities and other thing?
[17:49.620 -> 17:54.480] I'm sure they're gonna work towards it like the demand is there like make it happen
[17:55.280 -> 17:58.760] W series shouldn't have been getting cancer. I just think there needs to be a little bit more
[17:59.520 -> 18:05.680] Continuity between everything when you when you think like, you know, f F3, F4, they're all part of the Formula
[18:05.680 -> 18:10.560] Series so why is there not more continuity between the races?
[18:10.560 -> 18:11.560] In what aspect?
[18:11.560 -> 18:15.320] Like you don't see F4 and F3 really. Like you see a bit of F3 but like do you ever see
[18:15.320 -> 18:18.040] F4 on the TV?
[18:18.040 -> 18:23.280] Broadcasting would be a lot I think because I mean it would be possible but you've got
[18:23.280 -> 18:25.440] to think they're trying to ram so many races in
[18:25.440 -> 18:26.280] and a lot of them when they,
[18:26.280 -> 18:28.400] you know, sometimes you get like the F4, F3, F2
[18:28.400 -> 18:29.440] all at one race.
[18:29.440 -> 18:31.320] Imagine trying to broadcast all that.
[18:31.320 -> 18:33.040] And then like, rather than reserve drivers,
[18:33.040 -> 18:34.680] they should just have anyone from F2
[18:34.680 -> 18:37.000] just come up and just fucking get in that car.
[18:37.000 -> 18:38.440] Like if someone's ill, someone can't make it,
[18:38.440 -> 18:40.320] someone's got COVID, someone's whatever,
[18:40.320 -> 18:42.320] just get an F2 driver in there.
[18:42.320 -> 18:45.080] I think F2 needs so much more coverage.
[18:45.080 -> 18:48.080] Like I've realized that from like,
[18:48.080 -> 18:49.440] obviously having Robert and Oscar,
[18:49.440 -> 18:51.920] then obviously work speaking to Angelina at Prema.
[18:51.920 -> 18:54.220] Like when you realize how much work goes
[18:54.220 -> 18:56.160] into these F2 teams as well
[18:56.160 -> 18:58.080] and how big a organization is
[18:58.080 -> 19:00.920] and how they look after these young drivers,
[19:00.920 -> 19:03.840] it makes you want so much more attention on F2 as well.
[19:03.840 -> 19:06.040] Cause like they're the ones battling to get in.
[19:06.040 -> 19:09.200] It's almost just as exciting as the F1 grid.
[19:09.200 -> 19:11.440] I genuinely mean this.
[19:11.440 -> 19:12.480] It's like Champions League.
[19:12.480 -> 19:15.440] Yeah, you can't end on me.
[19:15.440 -> 19:16.680] Champions League in Europa League.
[19:16.680 -> 19:17.520] Exactly.
[19:17.520 -> 19:20.080] Exactly where you were going to go with it, I'm sure.
[19:20.080 -> 19:24.000] I reckon, no joke, if they filmed a Drive Survive for F2.
[19:24.000 -> 19:25.120] They do, but it's not DTS. I mean, the same, if they filmed a Drive Survive for F2... They do!
[19:26.080 -> 19:31.680] No, it's not DTS. I mean, the same style, the same budget, I reckon it would blow and I think F2 would be huge.
[19:31.680 -> 19:33.680] I'm saying it here first and I'll tell you why.
[19:33.680 -> 19:37.680] The drivers are younger, they're wilder, they're less media trained.
[19:37.680 -> 19:39.760] As we know, some of them are fucking nuts.
[19:39.760 -> 19:44.160] We've heard crazier stories about the F2 drivers than we have about the F1 drivers.
[19:44.160 -> 19:46.240] Yeah, all these lads, they're young lads,
[19:46.240 -> 19:48.000] full of fucking testosterone.
[19:48.000 -> 19:51.040] They're just, they're waiting to get that seat.
[19:51.040 -> 19:53.120] And then, look, because we were talking about this just now,
[19:53.120 -> 19:55.640] like you and me, we sat here and you said to me,
[19:55.640 -> 19:57.560] like, why don't the drivers go a bit more crazy?
[19:57.560 -> 19:59.960] Like, they just, Max has just won the race.
[19:59.960 -> 20:01.920] Perez is there, third at his home race.
[20:01.920 -> 20:05.400] They're standing in front of a fucking 100,000 people.
[20:05.400 -> 20:07.560] I would turn around and take my top off and run around
[20:07.560 -> 20:08.400] and go mental.
[20:08.400 -> 20:11.400] You wanna see more stuff.
[20:11.400 -> 20:13.080] And then some of these F2 lads that we've met,
[20:13.080 -> 20:15.480] Oli Behrman, like Oscar Piachu, they're all funny lads.
[20:15.480 -> 20:17.640] They all deserve the airtime.
[20:17.640 -> 20:18.680] Do you know what I think it is?
[20:18.680 -> 20:21.580] I think maybe the only reason that could stop it
[20:21.580 -> 20:24.840] is because they don't have that lifestyle yet.
[20:24.840 -> 20:30.680] They haven't got that kind of untouchable like rich celebrity lifestyle that F1
[20:30.680 -> 20:36.760] does. Having said that DTS didn't really touch that much on it as much as
[20:36.760 -> 20:42.360] they could have. I'll be honest yeah there's a weird one where I I've never
[20:42.360 -> 20:46.200] really thought about but I tried to put myself in their shoes as like mindset,
[20:46.200 -> 20:48.240] because I watch it as like a fan, I love it.
[20:48.240 -> 20:51.120] And I think like these people love it
[20:51.120 -> 20:53.000] and they wanted to race their whole lives
[20:53.000 -> 20:54.200] to get into Formula One.
[20:56.120 -> 20:58.480] How much in their mind do you reckon divides it
[20:58.480 -> 21:01.360] to like, this is work and how much is like,
[21:01.360 -> 21:03.160] this is fun every race?
[21:03.160 -> 21:04.000] Do you know what I mean?
[21:04.000 -> 21:07.840] Like, I guess what I'm saying is I love playing football.
[21:07.840 -> 21:10.000] So even if I became a pro footballer
[21:10.000 -> 21:11.320] and played for like Arsenal,
[21:11.320 -> 21:12.760] how much of it would just be,
[21:12.760 -> 21:15.160] I'm going out and play fun like I did when I was a kid
[21:15.160 -> 21:17.240] or how much, I wonder what percent,
[21:17.240 -> 21:20.360] I reckon different drivers have different percentages.
[21:20.360 -> 21:24.160] I think Lando is a good one to look at.
[21:24.160 -> 21:27.920] For me, the guy is just living life to the fullest.
[21:27.920 -> 21:31.440] Like he's like, he's going out, he's fucking,
[21:31.440 -> 21:33.520] you know, you see him on his private jet playing golf.
[21:33.520 -> 21:35.400] He's trying to DJ with Martin Garrix.
[21:35.400 -> 21:37.100] He's doing all this crazy shit.
[21:37.100 -> 21:39.080] I feel like the guy kind of understands
[21:39.080 -> 21:40.420] the situation he's in, right?
[21:40.420 -> 21:42.080] He's in a midfield car.
[21:42.080 -> 21:43.000] He's not gonna win.
[21:43.000 -> 21:45.960] He's 21, he's 22. He's so young. Like he's got another mid-field car. He's not gonna win. He's 21, no he's 22.
[21:45.960 -> 21:49.600] He's so young, like he's got another 10 years at least.
[21:49.600 -> 21:51.480] And he's already got so much experience.
[21:51.480 -> 21:52.320] Yeah.
[21:52.320 -> 21:53.240] And he is an amazing driver.
[21:53.240 -> 21:54.480] He hasn't got a quick car at the moment.
[21:54.480 -> 21:55.600] So for someone like him,
[21:55.600 -> 21:57.320] I feel like he just goes out and has fun.
[21:57.320 -> 21:59.900] Obviously they do switch on and go into that mindset
[21:59.900 -> 22:00.740] before the race.
[22:00.740 -> 22:02.480] You can see them on the grid.
[22:02.480 -> 22:04.400] But all I can really say is like.
[22:04.400 -> 22:05.880] You are spot on. he's a prime example
[22:05.880 -> 22:07.520] of what I'm trying to get across.
[22:07.520 -> 22:08.360] Yeah, yeah.
[22:08.360 -> 22:10.040] I mean, bro, all you got to do is think about
[22:10.040 -> 22:12.200] like what we do and compare it to what we do.
[22:12.200 -> 22:14.240] I mean, this is all fun and games for us.
[22:14.240 -> 22:16.160] Like if you are new and you're tuning
[22:16.160 -> 22:17.240] into the Pit Stop podcast,
[22:17.240 -> 22:19.280] you're trying to see what all the fuss is about.
[22:19.280 -> 22:20.680] And there's a few people on Twitter
[22:20.680 -> 22:22.600] who have been chatting shit like,
[22:22.600 -> 22:24.120] guys, I'm going to be completely honest with you.
[22:24.120 -> 22:26.240] We started this as a joke. Like this was a joke, really. We were like, guys I'm gonna be completely honest with you, we started this as a joke.
[22:26.240 -> 22:27.800] Like this was a joke, really.
[22:27.800 -> 22:29.960] We were like, let's start a podcast about something
[22:29.960 -> 22:31.520] we know nothing about.
[22:31.520 -> 22:33.320] And it's all a joke, we can get stuff wrong,
[22:33.320 -> 22:34.960] it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
[22:34.960 -> 22:36.920] And I think you have to carry that,
[22:36.920 -> 22:38.780] not like the mindset of it doesn't matter,
[22:38.780 -> 22:40.980] but you need to just carry like an open mind
[22:40.980 -> 22:42.780] throughout anything that you do.
[22:42.780 -> 22:44.540] I completely respect everyone that's like,
[22:44.540 -> 22:45.960] you should know this, blah, blah, blah.
[22:45.960 -> 22:47.760] But the same day everyone started somewhere.
[22:47.760 -> 22:49.640] So it doesn't really bother me.
[22:49.640 -> 22:51.960] Like I'm happy with the pod, I'm loving it.
[22:51.960 -> 22:54.040] Oscar Piastri summed it up brilliantly.
[22:54.040 -> 22:55.320] Actually, he was like, yeah, you know,
[22:55.320 -> 22:57.360] I'm driving a fucking Formula One race car.
[22:57.360 -> 22:58.520] Like it's not really work.
[22:58.520 -> 22:59.760] Do you know what I mean?
[22:59.760 -> 23:01.680] I mean, he's getting, I mean, it is work,
[23:01.680 -> 23:03.320] but they're going out there and they're enjoying it.
[23:03.320 -> 23:05.680] And if you enjoy your job,
[23:05.680 -> 23:08.240] you'll never work a day in your life.
[23:08.240 -> 23:10.320] We don't obviously have to get deep into percentages,
[23:10.320 -> 23:11.840] but like Lando was a great example.
[23:11.840 -> 23:13.020] And then on the other end of the scale,
[23:13.020 -> 23:16.180] like Verstappen to me is just like 95% I have to win.
[23:16.180 -> 23:19.440] Like, I don't feel like any part of him has fun.
[23:19.440 -> 23:20.560] What do you think I was going through?
[23:20.560 -> 23:21.740] Nicholas at TV said.
[23:22.880 -> 23:23.720] He's given up.
[23:23.720 -> 23:24.560] Survive, survive, survive.
[23:24.560 -> 23:28.240] I hate to break it, but he has probably given up completely.
[23:28.240 -> 23:33.240] But obviously Max Verstappen is completely toned 90% in.
[23:33.360 -> 23:35.680] I reckon the Ferrari drivers started the season
[23:35.680 -> 23:38.720] like 100% in and I reckon a mistake
[23:38.720 -> 23:40.680] can bring you down significantly.
[23:40.680 -> 23:41.520] Yeah.
[23:41.520 -> 23:42.960] The more mistakes throughout a season,
[23:42.960 -> 23:44.320] you probably just start to drift more
[23:44.320 -> 23:45.360] into your personal life.
[23:45.360 -> 23:46.920] It's actually a really interesting topic
[23:46.920 -> 23:49.320] because if you'd have asked me before,
[23:49.320 -> 23:51.640] I would have said someone like Fernando Alonso
[23:51.640 -> 23:53.400] is just out there having fun these days.
[23:53.400 -> 23:56.240] Like he's kind of done, he's got two world championships.
[23:56.240 -> 23:57.400] He could have had more.
[23:58.640 -> 24:00.240] He's just out there racing,
[24:00.240 -> 24:01.080] cause that's all he knows.
[24:01.080 -> 24:02.000] That's what he loves doing.
[24:02.000 -> 24:04.280] But then you see him crash like today.
[24:04.280 -> 24:06.840] So he didn't crash, he DNFed because his car blew up.
[24:06.840 -> 24:08.800] And he got out of the car and he was pissed, mate.
[24:08.800 -> 24:11.560] He was so angry, like he wanted those points.
[24:11.560 -> 24:14.040] And I guess what I'm getting at is like,
[24:14.040 -> 24:16.440] whenever you're doing something competitive,
[24:16.440 -> 24:18.520] it's always gonna be work in a way
[24:18.520 -> 24:20.600] because you're competing.
[24:20.600 -> 24:22.640] You're not just driving around a racetrack
[24:22.640 -> 24:23.480] because you find it fun.
[24:23.480 -> 24:24.880] Like you wanna try and get as many points
[24:24.880 -> 24:26.200] or you wanna try and win.
[24:26.200 -> 24:27.040] So.
[24:27.040 -> 24:27.880] Yeah.
[24:27.880 -> 24:31.500] I always find it crazy that they always say,
[24:31.500 -> 24:33.460] if you don't win, it's nothing in Formula 1.
[24:33.460 -> 24:35.200] If you're not first, you're last.
[24:35.200 -> 24:36.040] Exactly.
[24:36.040 -> 24:37.500] But then what's crazy is like the bottom half
[24:37.500 -> 24:39.000] of the grid drive week in, week out,
[24:39.000 -> 24:42.120] realistically knowing they're never going to be able to win.
[24:42.120 -> 24:44.800] So do you reckon everyone who's not in a top team
[24:44.800 -> 24:46.760] the whole time, realistically, in the back of their mind
[24:46.760 -> 24:48.880] is thinking I've got an impressive bigger team?
[24:48.880 -> 24:49.720] I just do.
[24:49.720 -> 24:50.640] Do you reckon they're even driving for that team?
[24:50.640 -> 24:52.920] I would just be happy to be there mate.
[24:52.920 -> 24:55.600] Getting paid fucking 10 million a year to drive a car.
[24:55.600 -> 24:57.760] Like I don't care if I don't come first.
[24:57.760 -> 25:00.680] Have I told the people that I drove a car?
[25:00.680 -> 25:02.880] Have we done a put since we haven't?
[25:02.880 -> 25:04.160] When was that Thursday?
[25:04.160 -> 25:06.320] I don't know guys, I drove a car.
[25:06.320 -> 25:10.560] Jake drove a fast car round a racetrack.
[25:10.560 -> 25:12.360] It was unbelievable.
[25:12.360 -> 25:13.680] Why don't you tell them what it was?
[25:13.680 -> 25:16.760] Did a day with BMW and they had the i4 M50,
[25:16.760 -> 25:18.740] an amazing electric car.
[25:20.120 -> 25:21.360] And then they also had the M4.
[25:21.360 -> 25:23.480] And I'm not a car guy that much,
[25:23.480 -> 25:25.280] don't know much about them.
[25:25.280 -> 25:26.560] And they were doing these time trials
[25:26.560 -> 25:29.520] around this car park, around some cones.
[25:29.520 -> 25:33.200] And in the M4, no, in the i4 M50, I was warming up,
[25:33.200 -> 25:34.560] haven't driven a car in a couple of months
[25:34.560 -> 25:35.780] because it's old mine.
[25:35.780 -> 25:37.960] So I was a bit slow and Fab was filming it,
[25:37.960 -> 25:39.480] oh, I've got the video, it's gonna come out.
[25:39.480 -> 25:42.640] And then I jumped in the M4 and Fab gets in the back,
[25:42.640 -> 25:46.080] gets in the back and well, we fly off on the first lap
[25:46.080 -> 25:50.400] didn't we? Then we have a bit of a... Well that was yeah that wasn't on the racetrack that was
[25:50.400 -> 25:53.920] on this like coned area they so they had what they did is they had an area where you started
[25:53.920 -> 25:59.920] you had to go flat out up into a set of cones and then brake do one big turn it was a big swooping
[25:59.920 -> 26:08.320] turn basically yeah and then there was the roundabout and then there was the cones that you had to weave in and out of. I had to do a slalom. It was insane. I haven't drove
[26:08.320 -> 26:14.400] in two months. Ceramic brakes on the i4 m50 huge bigger than the wheels of my car.
[26:15.760 -> 26:19.920] Where I'm trying to go with this is in the m4 I set a very quick time and ended up winning
[26:19.920 -> 26:24.800] and then I went out on the grass. You won! You fucking won it! I haven't drove in two months and
[26:24.800 -> 26:25.800] all these other guys were like,
[26:25.800 -> 26:27.480] yeah, we've done loads of track days.
[26:27.480 -> 26:28.480] I've just stepped up, like,
[26:28.480 -> 26:30.120] yeah, I've never driven another car for the night.
[26:30.120 -> 26:33.320] There was some bloke there who was absolute wedge.
[26:33.320 -> 26:34.480] Like, he was a unit.
[26:34.480 -> 26:36.120] He was fucking huge.
[26:36.120 -> 26:37.320] He was covered in tattoos.
[26:37.320 -> 26:38.160] You know, like Thor.
[26:38.160 -> 26:40.200] His T-shirt said something on the back,
[26:40.200 -> 26:42.440] like, I've got the need for speed or something,
[26:42.440 -> 26:45.400] or like, fucking live fast, ride young or some shit.
[26:45.400 -> 26:48.000] So I thought, yeah, I thought this guy
[26:48.000 -> 26:50.040] is gonna be an absolute machine behind the wheel.
[26:50.040 -> 26:51.480] And then you young old Jake Poyes,
[26:51.480 -> 26:53.000] who hasn't been driving for two months,
[26:53.000 -> 26:54.680] just comes out of nowhere and flattens him.
[26:54.680 -> 26:56.680] Yeah, and I had you in the back, added weight.
[26:56.680 -> 26:57.520] Yeah.
[26:57.520 -> 26:59.120] Mate, I flew through that slalom.
[26:59.120 -> 27:00.680] I just thought, you know what, it's not my car.
[27:00.680 -> 27:01.560] Do you know what it was though?
[27:01.560 -> 27:08.840] I reckon it was because of what I was telling you to do. What? You know like when people do rally and they have that person in the
[27:08.840 -> 27:14.460] passenger seat saying like easy right, easy left. Yeah. Yeah I reckon you were so quick
[27:14.460 -> 27:18.680] anyway and you were doing so well but that extra added 10% of me telling you to go flat
[27:18.680 -> 27:22.880] out flat out. I reckon that made all the difference. I can't even remember if you were shouting
[27:22.880 -> 27:26.240] anything I don't think I blinked for the whole time. If we ever got into F4,
[27:26.240 -> 27:27.620] we would have to be the only team
[27:27.620 -> 27:29.720] that's allowed a two-person car.
[27:29.720 -> 27:31.640] The only reason I even said about getting into F4
[27:31.640 -> 27:33.000] is because then I went out on Brands Hatch
[27:33.000 -> 27:33.840] in an actual car.
[27:33.840 -> 27:35.720] I mean, I was three seconds behind there
[27:35.720 -> 27:36.860] than what the pros time was,
[27:36.860 -> 27:38.360] and I'd never even drove on it before.
[27:38.360 -> 27:39.920] So I was impressed with that.
[27:39.920 -> 27:41.520] Yeah, it was actually really impressive.
[27:41.520 -> 27:43.520] I actually genuinely was quite proud of you.
[27:43.520 -> 27:45.160] Anyway, back to the, thanks Fab. Aw. I really was. Fab, quick cud actually, I actually genuinely was quite proud of you. Anyway, back to, thanks Fab.
[27:45.160 -> 27:46.520] Oh, I really was.
[27:46.520 -> 27:48.400] Fab, quick hug, quick hug.
[27:48.400 -> 27:49.240] Quick cuddle.
[27:49.240 -> 27:52.160] Just a quick one.
[27:52.160 -> 27:53.000] Oh.
[27:53.000 -> 27:53.840] A little kiss.
[27:53.840 -> 27:55.640] Ha ha ha ha ha.
[27:55.640 -> 27:58.840] People said, what the fuck was that?
[27:58.840 -> 28:00.800] Right mate, one topic that I want to talk about
[28:00.800 -> 28:02.960] with you again today, another interesting topic.
[28:02.960 -> 28:05.720] I hear George Russell a lot of the time
[28:05.720 -> 28:08.440] calling the shots from inside the car.
[28:08.440 -> 28:10.080] So you know how there was this whole thing
[28:10.080 -> 28:12.520] with the fiasco of Ferrari asking an Eclair,
[28:12.520 -> 28:14.040] like, what do you want to do?
[28:14.040 -> 28:15.440] And he's like, I'm fucking driving.
[28:15.440 -> 28:17.960] Like, it's your job to know what I have to do,
[28:17.960 -> 28:19.320] when to come in for the pits.
[28:19.320 -> 28:21.320] A lot of the time, and it's not just in this race,
[28:21.320 -> 28:22.840] I've heard it in previous races,
[28:22.840 -> 28:25.920] George Russell is saying like, I think we should do this,
[28:25.920 -> 28:27.520] I don't think we should do that.
[28:27.520 -> 28:29.960] And Mercedes haven't really been listening to him.
[28:29.960 -> 28:31.320] And there's been times,
[28:31.320 -> 28:34.840] no, I can't quote the race because my memory's bad,
[28:34.840 -> 28:36.960] but he has called some correct shots
[28:36.960 -> 28:39.000] and Mercedes haven't acted on it.
[28:39.000 -> 28:40.640] So when do we get to the point,
[28:40.640 -> 28:42.880] I think this guy's super smart.
[28:42.880 -> 28:45.060] I think he really knows what he's talking about.
[28:45.060 -> 28:46.920] When does it get to the point where Mercedes are like,
[28:46.920 -> 28:49.660] okay, we should listen to this guy?
[28:49.660 -> 28:52.240] I think Russell is a really exciting driver.
[28:54.360 -> 28:57.920] I have said since the beginning of the season
[28:57.920 -> 29:00.940] that Russell's got the developed car this year
[29:00.940 -> 29:02.680] and Hamilton hasn't.
[29:02.680 -> 29:03.520] So I think-
[29:03.520 -> 29:05.160] Hamilton's got a bit more of an embryo.
[29:05.160 -> 29:07.440] I think they gave Hamilton more of a shell
[29:07.440 -> 29:08.920] and did different things every week.
[29:08.920 -> 29:09.760] Whereas Russell-
[29:09.760 -> 29:10.680] Like a matching shell.
[29:10.680 -> 29:12.480] Sort of like a matching shell.
[29:12.480 -> 29:13.680] And what I'm saying basically is
[29:13.680 -> 29:15.040] I think Hamilton calls the shots
[29:15.040 -> 29:18.080] because they trust his feeling in the car more.
[29:18.080 -> 29:21.080] Like I've noticed a few times where you hear Russell be like,
[29:21.080 -> 29:22.560] oh, we should have done this, we should have done that.
[29:22.560 -> 29:24.160] But I'm pretty sure it's what Hamilton said
[29:24.160 -> 29:25.160] we were going to do. So I'm pretty sure it's what Hamilton said he was gonna do.
[29:25.160 -> 29:27.520] So I reckon they do go with Hamilton.
[29:28.480 -> 29:29.480] There will become a point,
[29:29.480 -> 29:32.440] but the whole time Lewis is at Mercedes,
[29:32.440 -> 29:33.640] he's always number one.
[29:33.640 -> 29:35.720] Like there's no way Lewis will ever be in this team
[29:35.720 -> 29:36.560] and not be number one.
[29:36.560 -> 29:37.960] And it's Lewis Hamilton.
[29:37.960 -> 29:38.920] It's looking like he's gonna sign
[29:38.920 -> 29:40.120] a multi-year contract again.
[29:40.120 -> 29:42.600] So he should, he's proven today.
[29:42.600 -> 29:45.520] The fact that he did that with the Red Bull behind him is
[29:46.180 -> 29:51.960] Impressive and the fact that they got their strategy wrong. It's impressive. We're not wrong, but Red Bull just did it really well
[29:51.960 -> 29:55.620] So could we see Hamilton maybe get in that eighth championship?
[29:57.100 -> 30:01.020] It's early to ask someone who doesn't have a clue about anything
[30:02.000 -> 30:03.540] about anything to do with next year. And the regulations changing.
[30:03.540 -> 30:07.040] Make wild predictions, one of them will hit.
[30:07.040 -> 30:08.380] If I was Lewis Hamilton,
[30:08.380 -> 30:11.060] I would not leave this sport till I've got it.
[30:11.060 -> 30:13.220] Genuinely, they would give him another five years
[30:13.220 -> 30:15.020] if he wanted another five years.
[30:15.020 -> 30:17.220] I think he wins it next year.
[30:17.220 -> 30:19.420] It's going to be my prediction from the beginning.
[30:19.420 -> 30:21.260] With Red Bull not having the wind tunnel time
[30:21.260 -> 30:22.100] and everything else.
[30:22.100 -> 30:24.140] Yeah, I think Red Bull is still going to be insane.
[30:24.140 -> 30:25.600] Like Red Bull was such a unit, but
[30:25.600 -> 30:31.160] I do think Mercedes and Toto, the fight back, I just think is going to be insane.
[30:31.160 -> 30:32.160] Super interesting.
[30:32.160 -> 30:33.160] You?
[30:33.160 -> 30:34.160] Me?
[30:34.160 -> 30:35.160] Yeah.
[30:35.160 -> 30:36.160] I agree.
[30:36.160 -> 30:37.680] I think next year they could have it in the bag.
[30:37.680 -> 30:41.760] Not only are Red Bull going to have the wind tunnel time deduction, something that I've
[30:41.760 -> 30:47.600] been thinking about a little bit was that if they've just been penalized for last year they're fucking for sure is getting
[30:47.600 -> 30:51.240] penalized for this year because their car is like unbelievably quick like
[30:51.240 -> 30:54.960] there's something fishy going on yeah but I think loads teams will get
[30:54.960 -> 30:59.400] penalized so next year I reckon Red Bull are gonna be like fuck they're on to us
[30:59.400 -> 31:04.480] let's not let's not do anything stupid this year and then maybe the car just
[31:04.480 -> 31:05.840] won't be as good.
[31:05.840 -> 31:06.680] Who knows?
[31:06.680 -> 31:08.720] I just think it's gonna be,
[31:08.720 -> 31:11.040] next season I think will be better.
[31:11.040 -> 31:12.400] I think you just saw,
[31:12.400 -> 31:15.840] I wouldn't be surprised if McLaren have done the same
[31:15.840 -> 31:17.360] this season as well.
[31:17.360 -> 31:18.920] Cause I don't know,
[31:18.920 -> 31:20.440] I'm pretty sure like five, six races ago,
[31:20.440 -> 31:22.200] McLaren had a stint where like both of them
[31:22.200 -> 31:23.880] weren't even getting in the top 10, were they?
[31:23.880 -> 31:28.440] They were both quite bad for a while. I reckon McLaren have been very much
[31:28.440 -> 31:32.840] developing their car as they go a lot quicker as well and I think with the extra wind tunnel
[31:32.840 -> 31:37.040] time I do genuinely think like Mercedes will come out next season way stronger than Red
[31:37.040 -> 31:42.840] Bull. I would love to. I don't know though that's a bold statement but I just do think
[31:42.840 -> 31:45.240] Mercedes have got the team behind them to do it.
[31:45.240 -> 31:47.160] And I'd love it as well,
[31:47.160 -> 31:48.720] cause I would like Lewis to win an eighth.
[31:48.720 -> 31:50.360] I just completely forgot what I'm talking about.
[31:50.360 -> 31:53.640] Especially after, you've said loads today,
[31:53.640 -> 31:55.560] not even let me finish what I was saying.
[31:55.560 -> 31:57.760] Like you asked me what I think about Williams.
[31:57.760 -> 32:00.560] Like, I think they're a team that they probably
[32:00.560 -> 32:02.280] just need to evolve a little bit.
[32:03.400 -> 32:05.280] I don't know, I think they just need to evolve.
[32:05.280 -> 32:06.800] Yeah, but how do they do that?
[32:06.800 -> 32:07.840] Well, they've made the right step.
[32:07.840 -> 32:08.480] How do they do that?
[32:08.480 -> 32:10.560] They're getting rid of Latifi and they've made the right step.
[32:10.560 -> 32:11.040] No, they've...
[32:12.320 -> 32:13.840] Give the credit where credit's due.
[32:13.840 -> 32:14.880] I think they need investment.
[32:16.320 -> 32:16.960] Do they? I don't know.
[32:16.960 -> 32:18.080] I'm sure they've got enough money.
[32:18.640 -> 32:20.960] Nah, Williams is like the brokest team on the grid.
[32:20.960 -> 32:21.460] Are they?
[32:22.000 -> 32:22.320] Yeah.
[32:22.320 -> 32:23.360] How do you know this?
[32:23.360 -> 32:30.000] Because we went to their factory and it looked like a fucking freedom leisure. Bro I thought we'd turn up at a swimming pool, I thought
[32:30.000 -> 32:34.320] we'd gone to the wrong place. You're never gonna let us in there and panic now, they've got a great barman in there.
[32:34.320 -> 32:39.360] Mario. Yeah we love Mario, we love Joe, their photographer, we love everyone from Williams.
[32:39.360 -> 32:43.760] Yeah we do, we love the whole team. Everyone's unreal but I mean let's face it, they haven't got the funding that
[32:43.760 -> 32:49.040] other teams do and the only way around that is to have a big sponsor come in
[32:49.040 -> 32:51.920] which I think will happen because they've got the legacy so all they need
[32:51.920 -> 32:56.400] is some like rich like Saudi bloke to come and be like BAM there's 10 billion
[32:56.400 -> 33:00.480] like build a whole new factory build a new wind tunnel do all this crazy shit
[33:00.480 -> 33:04.800] and then maybe we could see Williams reign once again. They've definitely made
[33:04.800 -> 33:07.440] the right decision with Albon because Albon is getting points
[33:07.440 -> 33:11.200] and looks good in that car because the car isn't great. They need to improve the car.
[33:11.200 -> 33:12.200] That's a lot of it.
[33:12.200 -> 33:18.760] Albon is an interesting one. Not typically someone that I ever thought was like too stand
[33:18.760 -> 33:27.120] out however has done bits in the Williams this year for the car that he's driving. What does the future hold for Alex Albin?
[33:27.120 -> 33:30.200] He's still a fairly young, isn't he like 26?
[33:30.200 -> 33:31.560] He was younger, I don't know.
[33:31.560 -> 33:35.260] I don't know, like if you'd asked me six months ago,
[33:35.260 -> 33:37.520] I would have said, oh, maybe like Red Bull
[33:37.520 -> 33:38.600] are lining him back up
[33:38.600 -> 33:40.320] because he was only there for a little bit.
[33:40.320 -> 33:42.720] But then I just have this theory now
[33:42.720 -> 33:44.800] it's going to get younger and younger.
[33:44.800 -> 33:46.960] I don't know why, but I do think like,
[33:46.960 -> 33:48.640] you're gonna see most teams on the grid
[33:48.640 -> 33:51.840] with like at least someone under like 24.
[33:51.840 -> 33:54.760] Bro, do you know what is so crazy about that whole topic?
[33:54.760 -> 33:58.580] Is like every sport I think is doing that.
[33:58.580 -> 34:02.440] I know that like, we spoke about this countless times,
[34:02.440 -> 34:04.720] like Arsenal have like a really young team.
[34:04.720 -> 34:08.120] People must die when you suddenly get to football references
[34:08.120 -> 34:10.400] because you like, you slow down with what you're saying
[34:10.400 -> 34:13.360] and you're desperately trying to get across.
[34:13.360 -> 34:15.240] Exactly, but you know what's crazy is that
[34:15.240 -> 34:18.880] I saw that starting to happen in like extreme sports
[34:18.880 -> 34:20.680] like 10 years ago.
[34:20.680 -> 34:22.720] So like all these Red Bull events or like, you know,
[34:22.720 -> 34:24.520] you have like X Games or you have Judo
[34:24.520 -> 34:27.020] or like where there's like BMX and skateboard and that.
[34:27.020 -> 34:29.500] All these, like you'd have the old guys
[34:29.500 -> 34:30.820] and then all of a sudden you started having
[34:30.820 -> 34:31.780] these youngins come in.
[34:31.780 -> 34:32.660] And then before you know it,
[34:32.660 -> 34:35.760] you've got like a 14 year old winning X Games,
[34:35.760 -> 34:37.940] getting gold for like, for the big air.
[34:37.940 -> 34:39.700] Kids 14 years old, when I was 14,
[34:39.700 -> 34:41.300] I couldn't even write my own name.
[34:41.300 -> 34:43.980] How are they out there like getting gold?
[34:43.980 -> 34:46.260] And I think that's going gonna happen to every team.
[34:46.260 -> 34:48.760] Yeah, well, obviously Formula One's kind of got the age
[34:48.760 -> 34:50.720] in it and the aspect of you need the super license points.
[34:50.720 -> 34:51.560] Remove it.
[34:51.560 -> 34:52.400] Don't you?
[34:52.400 -> 34:53.220] Remove it.
[34:53.220 -> 34:54.060] Remove what?
[34:54.060 -> 34:55.640] The age thing.
[34:55.640 -> 34:56.480] Why?
[34:56.480 -> 34:59.320] Just have youngins, like put Joshua Bagambe in an F1 car.
[35:00.760 -> 35:02.880] Yeah, but they have all the F series.
[35:02.880 -> 35:04.800] That's the thing, you need the super license points.
[35:04.800 -> 35:06.400] Because you just need the money.
[35:06.400 -> 35:10.160] Look at Logan Sargent. That's a mad situation.
[35:10.160 -> 35:12.880] Like it looks like he's gonna get the Williams seat and I hope he does
[35:12.880 -> 35:16.960] because that'll be a great young draft. I think Logan Sargent's quite young.
[35:16.960 -> 35:19.680] Should I quickly just Google how old Logan Sargent is?
[35:19.680 -> 35:20.880] Have a guess.
[35:20.880 -> 35:26.300] I think Logan Sargent is 21 years old. Do you think he'd be a good... No, I think he's older. I think Logan Sargent is 21 years old do you think he'd be a guy that he's
[35:26.300 -> 35:28.700] older he's older American American
[35:28.700 -> 35:30.300] American didn't get to the school is
[35:30.300 -> 35:31.760] old he really that's what I was gonna
[35:31.760 -> 35:33.380] say young dry yeah cuz he hasn't got a
[35:33.380 -> 35:35.460] super license points yet yeah he has to
[35:35.460 -> 35:36.980] finish in a certain position in the race
[35:36.980 -> 35:38.540] in Abu Dhabi I'm pretty sure to be out
[35:38.540 -> 35:41.220] of qualified to be enabled to take that
[35:41.220 -> 35:43.620] Williams see it's bloody interesting I
[35:43.620 -> 35:45.960] would really love to see him.
[35:45.960 -> 35:49.100] I feel like he could be a breath of fresh air to Williams
[35:49.100 -> 35:51.480] who maybe have fallen on stagnant times.
[35:51.480 -> 35:53.400] Yeah, I would really love him on the pod.
[35:53.400 -> 35:55.040] It's also really interesting to say
[35:55.040 -> 35:58.740] from a driver's standings, you're like this.
[35:58.740 -> 36:02.960] Second place in the driver's standings is now Perez.
[36:02.960 -> 36:03.800] Wow.
[36:03.800 -> 36:05.760] Four points ahead of Leclerc.
[36:05.760 -> 36:07.280] What happened to Ferrari today?
[36:07.280 -> 36:08.280] Where were they?
[36:08.280 -> 36:09.280] It wasn't good for Ferrari.
[36:09.280 -> 36:10.280] Is it just me?
[36:10.280 -> 36:11.280] I've actually...
[36:11.280 -> 36:12.280] Or were they not shown once?
[36:12.280 -> 36:13.880] I've avoided talking about them.
[36:13.880 -> 36:14.880] I really have.
[36:14.880 -> 36:15.880] They weren't even shown!
[36:15.880 -> 36:17.400] I didn't even see them!
[36:17.400 -> 36:18.400] Were they even on track?
[36:18.400 -> 36:20.680] Who knows, who knows.
[36:20.680 -> 36:21.680] It wasn't great.
[36:21.680 -> 36:23.280] Hopefully they can do something in Brazil.
[36:23.280 -> 36:24.280] What did they do wrong?
[36:24.280 -> 36:25.880] Oh no, Brazil. Brazil is Hamilton all over.
[36:25.880 -> 36:30.000] Hamilton last year in Brazil was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
[36:31.000 -> 36:32.760] From back of the grid to winning.
[36:33.360 -> 36:35.080] If anyone is going to win Brazil...
[36:35.080 -> 36:36.520] Has he got the minerals to do it again?
[36:36.880 -> 36:38.880] Has Lewis Hamilton got the minerals?
[36:38.880 -> 36:39.480] Woah.
[36:40.240 -> 36:41.080] I tell you what.
[36:41.760 -> 36:44.680] As soon as you hear the words, it's hammer time on TV.
[36:44.680 -> 36:46.900] Whether it's this race, the race before,
[36:46.900 -> 36:50.720] it means the team have started to press the screws.
[36:50.720 -> 36:53.200] Once the team start to press the screws,
[36:53.200 -> 36:54.940] the results start to come.
[36:54.940 -> 36:57.820] As you see, Hamilton podium last weekend,
[36:57.820 -> 36:59.840] podium this weekend.
[36:59.840 -> 37:02.560] First in Brazil.
[37:02.560 -> 37:07.520] That is what I'm saying. Why are you trying to do what I've said, you idiot?
[37:07.520 -> 37:09.920] We're just so in synergy most of the time.
[37:09.920 -> 37:12.320] Yet again, we've left it till last minute to do the pod,
[37:12.320 -> 37:14.080] so we're really tired and it's got to go up
[37:14.080 -> 37:14.960] really, really soon.
[37:14.960 -> 37:16.960] Yeah, we've done really well, we're 36 minutes in.
[37:16.960 -> 37:19.280] I don't really have much more on Fab's notebook
[37:19.280 -> 37:20.120] to really talk about. It wasn't the most
[37:20.120 -> 37:21.560] exciting race, there isn't loads to say.
[37:21.560 -> 37:22.880] It wasn't the most exciting race,
[37:22.880 -> 37:24.640] but the thing that I will finish up on
[37:24.640 -> 37:27.240] is the fact that it fucking kills me
[37:27.520 -> 37:30.320] Every time you have this driver who just risked his life
[37:31.080 -> 37:32.720] rounded tracker
[37:32.720 -> 37:35.320] 3,000 miles an hour racing people wheel-to-wheel
[37:35.640 -> 37:40.800] They've crashed or they DNF their car they get out of that fucking spaceship like this is their home
[37:40.800 -> 37:44.080] This is the thing that they are at one with this is like an extension to their body
[37:44.280 -> 37:46.320] They get out of that car
[37:48.320 -> 37:52.040] They're so upset right and they've got to get on a bag of a fucking
[37:53.480 -> 37:57.720] Moped driven by John and driven back to the paddock. How embarrassing is that?
[37:59.240 -> 38:02.520] Yeah, the shot is hilarious. It's the only time you'd ever see it
[38:03.480 -> 38:05.040] Just walks it?
[38:05.040 -> 38:07.040] uh well Hamilton's walked it a few times
[38:07.040 -> 38:09.040] was that in Barcelona when he walked it?
[38:09.040 -> 38:12.880] I can't remember but it's hilarious when they go on that motorbike you are spot on
[38:13.840 -> 38:17.120] you would think formula one may have a bit more of an executive way of getting back
[38:17.120 -> 38:20.960] there's probably not really any other way to do it like when you think about it i mean unless
[38:20.960 -> 38:25.760] they like walk on the track or shuttle bus shuttle you never really
[38:25.760 -> 38:31.920] know when someone's gonna crash jetpack jetpacks all around the track someone just to pick up
[38:32.560 -> 38:36.880] the broadcast of formula one has just ended on our tv which means that we are actually going
[38:36.880 -> 38:43.600] to wrap this podcast up ladies and gentlemen yeah guys what a wild week um there was so much
[38:44.320 -> 38:47.160] like I felt a lot of pressure for the Oscar episode
[38:47.160 -> 38:49.520] because I was like, we knew how huge it was.
[38:50.700 -> 38:52.700] Well, you know, it was our biggest guest ever
[38:52.700 -> 38:55.400] for so many reasons that I'm aware we've had.
[38:55.400 -> 38:58.460] The Ferrari drivers and Jenson Button and such legends.
[38:58.460 -> 39:00.760] But like, this guy came to our flat,
[39:00.760 -> 39:04.300] like this guy who's going to be driving
[39:04.300 -> 39:06.200] Rolando Norris next year came to
[39:06.200 -> 39:10.160] our flat sat in front of us and chatted with us on no time limit like it wasn't
[39:10.160 -> 39:15.600] 10 minutes 20 minutes it was talk yeah it was an amazing episode and guys you'd
[39:15.600 -> 39:18.160] be happy to know that we didn't even really cut anything there was nothing to
[39:18.160 -> 39:21.800] cut out of it no completely fine it was sweet everything was all good nothing
[39:21.800 -> 39:26.480] went off bounds yeah to be fair we don't normally have to cut, only for like, branded ones or anything like that.
[39:26.480 -> 39:29.760] It was, back in the early days, we were cutting every five minutes,
[39:29.760 -> 39:32.880] because there was just so much shit that we would say, like, yeah, we can't put that in.
[39:32.880 -> 39:35.520] We need to go back and listen to some of the old pods.
[39:35.520 -> 39:36.960] We really do.
[39:36.960 -> 39:37.760] See what we were getting wrong.
[39:37.760 -> 39:40.800] But guys, it has been an epic week over here at Pitstop HQ.
[39:40.800 -> 39:44.960] We have some really exciting stuff potentially coming up at the end of this week.
[39:44.960 -> 39:49.360] One... I completely forgot. One my it's fabs birthday on Friday
[39:49.360 -> 39:55.680] Oh and it's a birthday today happy birthday Lance strong unfortunately
[39:55.680 -> 39:59.020] when this podcast goes out it won't be his birthday anymore so happy birthday
[39:59.020 -> 40:03.040] for yesterday birthday for yesterday Lance it's fabs birthday on Friday and
[40:03.040 -> 40:05.340] then may it may be coinciding
[40:05.340 -> 40:10.840] with something so ultra epically important but it hasn't been confirmed
[40:10.840 -> 40:17.720] yet all I can say is DHL we wanna be your friends!
[40:17.720 -> 40:25.000] I'm seeing unreal. Yeah basically something could be happening on Fab's birthday.
[40:25.000 -> 40:29.000] Who knows, but guys, keep your ear to the ground and maybe you'll hear some little hints.
[40:29.000 -> 40:33.000] Our Instagram is at pitstop, our TikTok is at pitstop.
[40:33.000 -> 40:35.000] Please do rate the podcast five stars.
[40:35.000 -> 40:38.000] We've got a break now. We've got a little gap until Brazil, I think a weekend.
[40:38.000 -> 40:39.000] Right.
[40:39.000 -> 40:44.000] Yeah, two weeks. So that's great because we can have a bit more of a catch up about Mexico in the next episode.
[40:44.000 -> 40:46.360] Talk about everything going on everything we missed
[40:46.360 -> 40:50.640] Yeah, or we could sit on the sofa with nothing to talk about and then try and wing it again for another half an hour
[40:51.800 -> 40:53.800] Well, I'm up for it
[40:53.800 -> 40:55.800] Some people sometimes say they're the best
[40:55.800 -> 40:57.800] Yeah, we've done that really good
[40:57.800 -> 40:59.800] People say they're the best when we don't plan it, they always say they love that more
[40:59.800 -> 41:04.800] Guys, we have been talking about what we're gonna do when F1 is over for the season
[41:04.800 -> 41:05.000] We're gonna probably stick to two pods a week still Guys, we have been talking about what we're going to do when F1 is over for the season.
[41:05.000 -> 41:07.200] We're going to probably stick to two pods a week still.
[41:07.700 -> 41:10.300] But we were thinking of maybe going to one, and a few of you said,
[41:10.300 -> 41:12.900] guys, it'd be fun to hear you talk about F1 for one of them,
[41:13.300 -> 41:16.100] and then just chat shite about whatever you want for the second one.
[41:16.400 -> 41:20.400] Now, I don't know if all of you want to hear us talk shit about anything.
[41:20.900 -> 41:24.600] So if you do, leave a comment on our Instagram at pitstop.
[41:24.700 -> 41:25.840] Leave a comment on our Twitter at Pitstop, leave a comment on our
[41:25.840 -> 41:27.640] Twitter at Jake and Fab.
[41:27.640 -> 41:33.060] I guess it's like looking at the angle of we wouldn't stop doing the F1 thing. It's
[41:33.060 -> 41:36.380] either go one a week and it's an F1 one. We're just trying to do more there. We're being
[41:36.380 -> 41:40.400] like how can we add more to it? How can we keep it to two a week? Like maybe some people
[41:40.400 -> 41:42.520] wouldn't want it because it's an F1 show kind of thing.
[41:42.520 -> 41:46.440] Yeah, I do think there's some people out there who are interested in our lives maybe we can
[41:46.440 -> 41:53.160] open something new or launch something new yeah yeah well yeah what sport should
[41:53.160 -> 41:57.680] we tackle next for the break yeah take on another sport I feel like me and you
[41:57.680 -> 42:07.000] would do well in NASCAR I think golf I think go I think we. Golf? Do you? Golf? I think we could tackle golf. We are fucking terrible at golf.
[42:07.000 -> 42:09.920] Yeah, and we're fucking terrible with F1 as well.
[42:09.920 -> 42:10.740] And it worked.
[42:10.740 -> 42:13.720] To be fair, no, I probably do know more about F1
[42:13.720 -> 42:15.280] than golf now.
[42:15.280 -> 42:17.640] Actually, no, hang on, I know a little bit about golf.
[42:17.640 -> 42:19.040] I'm still trying to get my head around golf.
[42:19.040 -> 42:21.640] Yeah, well, you've been smashing that PGA game.
[42:21.640 -> 42:23.120] But I do have it on very easy
[42:23.120 -> 42:25.320] and I've turned win difficultly off.
[42:25.320 -> 42:26.240] Oh, have you really?
[42:26.240 -> 42:28.360] So that's how I'm able to get holes in one every time.
[42:28.360 -> 42:29.200] Yeah, I was gonna say,
[42:29.200 -> 42:31.640] you look phenomenal on that game.
[42:32.480 -> 42:34.080] There you go, Jake Boy's cheating once again.
[42:34.080 -> 42:36.160] I was getting like under 23 on a hole.
[42:36.160 -> 42:37.880] I was thinking I was amazing.
[42:37.880 -> 42:38.960] That's simple pleasure,
[42:38.960 -> 42:40.240] so I could sit and do that all day.
[42:40.240 -> 42:41.080] That's it, mate, that's it.
[42:41.080 -> 42:42.720] As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters.

[42:48.800 -> 42:52.160] Mexican Grand Prix was over. Verstappen did it.
[42:52.160 -> 42:54.960] He's beaten Vettel and Schumacher's record.
[42:54.960 -> 42:58.800] 14 wins in a season, still two races left.
[42:58.800 -> 43:02.160] Imagine he made it 16, it would be incredible.
[43:02.160 -> 43:04.320] Hamilton back on the podium, love to see it.
[43:04.320 -> 43:07.040] Second place, Mercedes are cover for a big engine
