[01:08.680 -> 01:21.120] Welcome back to episode two of the Pit Stop podcast.
[01:21.120 -> 01:22.200] I'm Fab.
[01:22.200 -> 01:23.720] I'm Jake.
[01:23.720 -> 01:28.400] And we're here again for episode two. We're actually recording this
[01:28.400 -> 01:33.280] before the first one's even gone out. Yeah, we haven't had any response yet. So you might
[01:33.280 -> 01:38.360] absolutely hate us. Well, we've had some some sort of a response. We have we put this on
[01:38.360 -> 01:45.800] tick tock. And somehow our account got 1000 followers. but that did mean we had a few people think we
[01:45.800 -> 01:47.280] were very stupid.
[01:47.280 -> 01:49.480] Yeah, everyone.
[01:49.480 -> 01:51.640] I think everyone thinks we're stupid.
[01:51.640 -> 01:58.040] I think some people really like the idea, but a lot of people seem to call us DTS fans.
[01:58.040 -> 01:59.040] What does that mean?
[01:59.040 -> 02:00.040] Oh, we have no idea.
[02:00.040 -> 02:01.040] Drive to survive fans.
[02:01.040 -> 02:03.600] I mean, we are drive to survive fans.
[02:03.600 -> 02:05.760] We'll get to that throughout the episode but we
[02:05.760 -> 02:11.400] cannot start this episode without saying sorry for what we got wrong in the last one just
[02:11.400 -> 02:17.200] to clear it up Vettel is the youngest ever world champion and Max Verstappen is the youngest
[02:17.200 -> 02:23.080] to ever win a race and Fab who is the ice fan?
[02:23.080 -> 02:24.080] Kimi Räikkönen!
[02:24.080 -> 02:25.000] And who's got the most constructors championships the Ferrari. I'm going to go with the Ferrari. I'm going to go with the Ferrari. I'm going to go with the Ferrari. I'm going to go with the Ferrari.

[02:34.000 -> 02:35.000] I'm going to go with the Ferrari.
[02:35.000 -> 02:36.000] I'm going to go with the Ferrari.
[02:36.000 -> 02:37.000] I'm going to go with the Ferrari.
[02:37.000 -> 02:38.000] I'm going to go with the Ferrari.
[02:38.000 -> 02:39.000] I'm going to go with the Ferrari.
[02:39.000 -> 02:40.000] I'm going to go with the Ferrari.
[02:40.000 -> 02:41.000] I'm going to go with the Ferrari.
[02:41.000 -> 02:42.000] I'm going to go with the Ferrari.
[02:42.000 -> 02:43.000] I'm going to go with the Ferrari.

I'm going to go with the Ferrari. about undercut, overcut, we learned about tires. In episode one, we got stuck into a few of the good bits.
[02:45.320 -> 02:47.600] This whole thing's just like a lesson, isn't it really?
[02:47.600 -> 02:48.440] Well, that's the thing.
[02:48.440 -> 02:51.580] We are new fans starting from scratch.
[02:51.580 -> 02:53.120] And I think people on TikTok,
[02:53.120 -> 02:55.280] some people are seeing that thinking this is cool.
[02:55.280 -> 02:58.360] There's new people to the sport and others are seeing it
[02:58.360 -> 03:00.240] and thinking you guys are useless.
[03:00.240 -> 03:01.880] Why would you make a podcast?
[03:01.880 -> 03:03.520] But that's exactly why we've done it.
[03:03.520 -> 03:04.520] To help other- I'm actually thinking
[03:04.520 -> 03:06.000] the same thing.
[03:06.000 -> 03:11.000] To be fair, yeah, we do watch back our videos and laugh and think, what are we doing?
[03:11.000 -> 03:16.000] It's pretty funny, but it turns out that most of you are laughing with us, or at us.
[03:16.000 -> 03:18.000] I haven't decided which one it is yet.
[03:18.000 -> 03:21.000] You can laugh at us if you want. We've even managed to line up a very special guest.
[03:21.000 -> 03:24.000] So there's going to be some special guests coming on, which is exciting.
[03:24.000 -> 03:26.800] I don't know how we've managed that when we haven't even launched a
[03:26.800 -> 03:30.760] podcast I know so we must be doing something right we won't mention the
[03:30.760 -> 03:35.240] name yet nah keep it keep it teased but feel free to guess who it is yeah you
[03:35.240 -> 03:39.360] guys you guys will know who is yeah you guys will know is he's not a driver he's
[03:39.360 -> 03:42.680] not he's not a driver we'll say that much yeah we won't tease you that much
[03:42.680 -> 03:47.240] he's not a driver but it's a that much. Yeah, we won't tease you that much. He's not a driver, but it's a very, very exciting guest.
[03:47.240 -> 03:49.760] So on the day of filming today's episode,
[03:49.760 -> 03:52.760] it's been pre-season testing in Barcelona.
[03:52.760 -> 03:55.120] Have you seen what happened today there?
[03:55.120 -> 03:56.360] No, go on, fill me in.
[03:56.360 -> 03:58.360] I'm gonna fill you in and I want your reaction.
[03:58.360 -> 04:00.880] Who do you think has come out as,
[04:00.880 -> 04:02.840] Fab hasn't seen and I've only just seen
[04:02.840 -> 04:04.640] because I've got the screenshot off Twitter.
[04:04.640 -> 04:06.640] Who do you think got the quickest lap today
[04:06.640 -> 04:08.480] in pre-season testing?
[04:09.760 -> 04:10.720] Verstappen.
[04:10.720 -> 04:13.800] No, obviously this is pre-season testing.
[04:13.800 -> 04:14.760] It doesn't mean a lot really,
[04:14.760 -> 04:16.200] they're just testing the cars going out,
[04:16.200 -> 04:17.520] but it's quite interesting.
[04:17.520 -> 04:20.480] Verstappen actually did the most laps today
[04:20.480 -> 04:22.680] on the track in his car,
[04:22.680 -> 04:25.360] and only got the ninth fastest. He was ninth.
[04:25.360 -> 04:30.360] And Lando was topped with a gap of 0.597 seconds
[04:30.560 -> 04:32.840] to Declare and Carlos Sainz third.
[04:32.840 -> 04:34.800] Mate, I'm telling you, Ferrari, mate.
[04:34.800 -> 04:38.960] I told you Ferrari are gonna be dominating.
[04:38.960 -> 04:39.920] They are.
[04:39.920 -> 04:41.280] I reckon people listen to this guy
[04:41.280 -> 04:42.680] and it's pre-season testing.
[04:42.680 -> 04:43.760] It means nothing.
[04:43.760 -> 04:44.680] But we have no idea.
[04:44.680 -> 04:46.280] I'd assume this is the first time
[04:46.280 -> 04:49.280] they've got on that track and really tried the car
[04:49.280 -> 04:50.760] against the other cars.
[04:50.760 -> 04:53.360] I've been thinking about this, I mean obviously,
[04:53.360 -> 04:55.280] so they have the testing right, I mean is there a rule
[04:55.280 -> 04:58.920] to say that they can't get in the car at all before testing?
[04:58.920 -> 05:00.840] Like who knows if there's like these little tracks
[05:00.840 -> 05:01.680] somewhere and they just.
[05:01.680 -> 05:02.940] That's what I thought, do they have their own tracks
[05:02.940 -> 05:04.300] to like try on?
[05:04.300 -> 05:07.000] Just give it a cheeky spin before they get out, I don't know.
[05:07.000 -> 05:08.000] Surely.
[05:08.000 -> 05:10.000] It must be a rule somewhere, because otherwise it would be unfair, wouldn't it?
[05:10.000 -> 05:13.000] I mean Haas clearly haven't got their own personal track.
[05:13.000 -> 05:15.000] They've got nothing, mate.
[05:15.000 -> 05:18.000] I mean, I have no idea how the pre-season testing works,
[05:18.000 -> 05:20.000] but yeah, Verstappen did the most laps,
[05:20.000 -> 05:22.000] and some people obviously did more than others.
[05:22.000 -> 05:24.000] Like 147 laps is a lot of laps.
[05:24.000 -> 05:25.500] Wait, who? Who Like 147 laps is a lot of laps. And-
[05:25.500 -> 05:27.260] Wait, who done 147 laps?
[05:27.260 -> 05:30.380] Verstappen did the most laps today and came ninth fastest.
[05:30.380 -> 05:31.220] He couldn't get out.
[05:31.220 -> 05:32.940] 147 laps in total.
[05:32.940 -> 05:33.980] Yeah.
[05:33.980 -> 05:36.660] Lando did 103, coming first.
[05:36.660 -> 05:38.220] But yeah, it's great to see Lando up there.
[05:38.220 -> 05:39.580] Maybe the McLaren and the Ferrari
[05:39.580 -> 05:41.060] are going to be flying next season.
[05:41.060 -> 05:41.900] That's it, mate.
[05:41.900 -> 05:44.360] I'd also like say at the beginning of this episode,
[05:44.360 -> 05:45.960] obviously I've now promised
[05:45.960 -> 05:58.240] to get a Nikita Mazepin tattoo if Mazepin gets no points. No, if Mazepin gets any points
[05:58.240 -> 06:02.560] I have to get a tattoo of him. But Fab has now filled me in that Haas have been developing
[06:02.560 -> 06:05.440] their car and I didn't know that.
[06:07.600 -> 06:08.940] So apparent, what's happened? Well, from what I hear,
[06:11.080 -> 06:12.640] here we go.
[06:12.640 -> 06:13.920] Get ready.
[06:13.920 -> 06:14.760] Fab's insight.
[06:14.760 -> 06:16.440] Let's make sure I get this right.
[06:16.440 -> 06:20.040] I heard on the grapevine that apparently
[06:20.040 -> 06:23.200] they didn't change anything about their car last year,
[06:23.200 -> 06:24.480] like last season.
[06:24.480 -> 06:25.340] Could tell.
[06:25.340 -> 06:27.200] Yeah, you could definitely tell.
[06:27.200 -> 06:29.000] To give them, I don't know,
[06:29.000 -> 06:31.520] just to make sure that they're more prepared for this year.
[06:31.520 -> 06:33.400] Yeah, that's interesting.
[06:33.400 -> 06:35.860] Because maybe they've had this ultimate plan,
[06:35.860 -> 06:37.800] they've known they were out of the race
[06:37.800 -> 06:39.160] in that season.
[06:39.160 -> 06:41.360] So they just said, the car's shit,
[06:41.360 -> 06:43.400] let's just run with it all season
[06:43.400 -> 06:46.240] and we'll spend all our time prepping for the next year.
[06:46.240 -> 06:48.600] Cause there's so many regulation changes, right?
[06:48.600 -> 06:50.820] This is like one of the biggest changes.
[06:50.820 -> 06:52.420] I talk about it like I know.
[06:52.420 -> 06:54.040] I was comparing the liveries the other day.
[06:54.040 -> 06:57.460] I have no idea what them things over the wheels are.
[06:57.460 -> 06:58.440] That, do you know what I mean?
[06:58.440 -> 06:59.640] They look like wheel caps.
[06:59.640 -> 07:00.840] Oh, the wheel thingies.
[07:00.840 -> 07:01.720] What are they?
[07:01.720 -> 07:02.880] Yeah, wheel thingies.
[07:02.880 -> 07:04.280] Well, great.
[07:04.280 -> 07:09.760] What do they do um pass i'm asking you like you'd
[07:09.760 -> 07:15.040] know i haven't got a fucking clue mate you know this by now neither of us know nothing all we can
[07:15.040 -> 07:20.240] do all we can do is guess and then we'll put up we'll put the video up on tiktok and everyone
[07:20.240 -> 07:25.260] will tell us what the actual answer is and then next episode we'll come back and be like, oh, that's what it is. All right, take your guess.
[07:25.260 -> 07:26.200] What do you think they're there for?
[07:26.200 -> 07:29.360] It's, it would be aerodynamics.
[07:29.360 -> 07:30.360] Yeah?
[07:30.360 -> 07:32.120] I mean, yeah, I reckon it's something to do
[07:32.120 -> 07:34.200] with that as well, but I've seen a video
[07:34.200 -> 07:37.060] of them looking out of their cockpit
[07:37.060 -> 07:39.920] and it looks like it's harder to see over the wheels now,
[07:39.920 -> 07:41.960] which is interesting, because that's going to change.
[07:41.960 -> 07:46.560] I don't even know how they drive with that bloody, what's it called, halo in the way.
[07:46.560 -> 07:48.920] Let alone not being able to see your tyres.
[07:48.920 -> 07:51.240] No idea, you know when we play it on the game?
[07:51.240 -> 07:52.960] Yeah, we can't admit that to them.
[07:52.960 -> 07:56.040] If we tell them we don't use that camera angle, they're going to hate us.
[07:56.040 -> 07:57.040] Oh yeah.
[07:57.040 -> 07:59.360] No, we drive on the hardest camera angle.
[07:59.360 -> 08:01.120] Yeah, cockpit only.
[08:01.120 -> 08:09.600] We tell people we use like 75% difficulty on TikTok and everyone's commenting 108 on a controller, 120 on a wheel. I didn't even know it went over 100. I didn't even
[08:09.600 -> 08:15.280] know it went up that high. That's weird innit. Yeah. I think maybe they're lying. Maybe we're
[08:15.280 -> 08:19.640] so stupid we don't even know that they're lying. Maybe they're just using a lot of AI
[08:19.640 -> 08:24.240] assists. I reckon, yeah I reckon all you out there have got the brake assist on. We'll
[08:24.240 -> 08:26.000] have to have a pit stop race tournament soon.
[08:26.000 -> 08:30.000] You've got the green lines, you can see when to brake. We don't use none of that.
[08:30.000 -> 08:33.000] We use everything.
[08:33.000 -> 08:35.000] Yeah, we do. Every assist that we can get.
[08:35.000 -> 08:42.000] But yeah, if Aston have developed their car, it could be a big season for them. Let's see how they did in pre-season testing today.
[08:42.000 -> 08:45.680] Well, before you get into that, someone did say in the comments that actually
[08:45.680 -> 08:48.480] Haas have actually been quite good at one point.
[08:48.480 -> 08:52.080] Yeah, I saw that, but I had no idea about that.
[08:52.080 -> 08:55.000] And then I also didn't know Williams.
[08:55.000 -> 08:57.140] I know maybe I should have known this,
[08:57.140 -> 08:58.480] but I didn't watch back then.
[08:58.480 -> 09:00.600] Williams have got a lot of constructors.
[09:00.600 -> 09:02.600] I think they've got more than Mercedes.
[09:02.600 -> 09:03.540] Oh yeah?
[09:03.540 -> 09:04.380] That could be wrong,
[09:04.380 -> 09:07.000] but I think the order goes Ferrari, Williams, Mercedes.
[09:07.000 -> 09:09.000] And I think, how many Mercedes have got? Eight?
[09:09.000 -> 09:10.000] Yes.
[09:10.000 -> 09:13.000] I think Williams have nine and I think Ferrari have 16.
[09:13.000 -> 09:14.000] Damn.
[09:14.000 -> 09:15.000] I think.
[09:15.000 -> 09:23.000] No, I remember seeing a graph actually, yeah, there was a graph of like Williams' constructors like career and it was up, up, up, up and then it soared down.
[09:23.000 -> 09:25.840] When were they big? I don't know. Is there
[09:25.840 -> 09:30.480] something completely missing? Was it a driver we know? Oh man, if we haven't lost any fans already,
[09:30.480 -> 09:36.880] we've just lost a load. The funniest thing about reading these TikToks, like all the comments is
[09:36.880 -> 09:41.680] that everyone's like, to be fair, most of you have been really nice about it. And then you guys are
[09:41.680 -> 09:49.400] learning. But then you get like, there's like one specific guy. He's like, oh, I can't stand hearing Drive to Survive fans.
[09:49.400 -> 09:50.960] They're like, oh, you're so annoying.
[09:50.960 -> 09:52.360] It pisses me off so much.
[09:52.360 -> 09:53.720] It is, that is it.
[09:53.720 -> 09:56.120] And I think that's because in episode one,
[09:56.120 -> 09:58.120] we spoke about how much we love Drive to Survive
[09:58.120 -> 10:00.160] and we've put a TikTok live of us saying,
[10:00.160 -> 10:04.160] we are Drive to Survive fans, but we can't lie.
[10:04.160 -> 10:06.800] I think the best way to describe how we got into the sport was we binged watch Drive to Survive fans, but we can't lie. I think the best way to describe how we got into the sport
[10:06.800 -> 10:09.360] was we binged watch Drive to Survive,
[10:09.360 -> 10:11.920] but there was no race on at the time.
[10:11.920 -> 10:13.440] As soon as we then got,
[10:14.480 -> 10:16.480] as soon as there was a race on, we were watching it.
[10:16.480 -> 10:18.160] And we weren't watching Drive to Survive anymore.
[10:18.160 -> 10:20.240] We love it just like any other Formula One fan,
[10:20.240 -> 10:21.760] but we do love Drive to Survive.
[10:21.760 -> 10:23.120] I think it's amazing.
[10:23.120 -> 10:24.320] I can't wait for the new one.
[10:24.320 -> 10:27.880] We watch like all three seasons in the gap between races. In the gap between races, right. That's what I'm a fan, but we do love Drive to Survive. I think it's amazing. I can't wait for the new one. We watch like all three seasons in the gap between
[10:27.880 -> 10:29.200] two races. In the gap between races,
[10:29.200 -> 10:30.040] right, that's what I'm saying.
[10:30.040 -> 10:31.280] We don't just watch Drive to Survive
[10:31.280 -> 10:32.440] and not watch the Grand Prix.
[10:32.440 -> 10:33.280] That's, we watch that,
[10:33.280 -> 10:34.120] because that's all we had.
[10:34.120 -> 10:35.600] And then we watched everything else,
[10:35.600 -> 10:36.980] all the buildup, everything,
[10:36.980 -> 10:38.280] the practices, the qualifying,
[10:38.280 -> 10:39.120] every single race.
[10:39.120 -> 10:41.480] So what was the first race that we,
[10:41.480 -> 10:42.320] yeah, the first race?
[10:42.320 -> 10:43.840] I want to say it was USA.
[10:43.840 -> 10:47.200] I think it was USA usa i can't really remember
[10:47.200 -> 10:53.280] um exactly because a lot happened and we were trying to learn do posts on pit stop at the same
[10:53.280 -> 10:57.920] time you know there was a lot going on we just became completely addicted and it literally took
[10:57.920 -> 11:03.920] over our lives so it happened very very quick but yeah a lot of people have been saying drive to
[11:03.920 -> 11:05.160] survive fans don't
[11:05.160 -> 11:08.080] know stuff or aren't welcome to the sport.
[11:08.080 -> 11:10.920] And you're right. You're absolutely right. We don't know nothing.
[11:10.920 -> 11:14.060] And it's interesting, though, because I saw a TikTok and some people were saying there's
[11:14.060 -> 11:19.360] fans out there that only watch Drive to Survive. How weird is that? Like the thought of someone
[11:19.360 -> 11:23.360] only watching Drive to Survive, but they're never watching the Grand Prix, because it
[11:23.360 -> 11:27.640] definitely happens how people watch Netflix series. You could just watch it like a Netflix series,
[11:27.640 -> 11:32.600] but you might not watch the Grand Prix's. I can't imagine that. I find that weird. That's
[11:32.600 -> 11:36.720] like watching that Neymar documentary. And not watching football, but people have definitely
[11:36.720 -> 11:40.480] done it. I mean, Leah's in there right now watching the Ronaldo documentary. But what
[11:40.480 -> 11:44.280] about her wife? She don't watch football. I mean, I know that's nothing to do with Ronaldo.
[11:44.280 -> 11:46.240] I'm just saying like how you can cross over.
[11:46.880 -> 11:49.280] But yeah, the response on TikTok has been amazing.
[11:49.280 -> 11:52.320] My favorite thing about it is how many, you know,
[11:52.320 -> 11:55.840] there's been male, female influencers interacting with us.
[11:55.840 -> 12:00.400] And I've seen so many amazing female TikTokers before we'd even started.
[12:00.960 -> 12:06.800] So it's just great to see so many people in the TikTok scene making F1 videos.
[12:06.800 -> 12:09.360] Everyone else's content is probably better than ours.
[12:09.360 -> 12:13.400] I don't know man, I think we're killing it.
[12:13.400 -> 12:16.700] Yeah, I think we're doing the best we can. I'm having fun with it. I hope you guys are
[12:16.700 -> 12:21.020] enjoying it. Like we said in episode one, anything you want us to change, just send
[12:21.020 -> 12:27.260] us a message. The only thing we can't really change is the hosts. We live together and we've been friends since school.
[12:27.260 -> 12:30.700] So, don't think we can switch that up very easily.
[12:30.700 -> 12:32.780] But yeah, Jake's right.
[12:32.780 -> 12:35.980] We want you guys to be involved as much as possible.
[12:35.980 -> 12:40.980] So yeah, any suggestions, any alterations, give us a shout.
[12:41.620 -> 12:44.580] Or any talking points, anything you want us to talk about.
[12:44.580 -> 12:47.240] I mean, we're trying our best to come up with stuff
[12:47.240 -> 12:48.560] that we can talk about on this podcast,
[12:48.560 -> 12:51.480] but if you guys want to hear anything in particular,
[12:51.480 -> 12:52.900] send us a DM.
[12:52.900 -> 12:53.740] Definitely, yeah.
[12:53.740 -> 12:55.120] One thing that some people may not know
[12:55.120 -> 12:57.240] that I found out earlier I thought was really interesting,
[12:57.240 -> 12:58.400] you might know, but did you know
[12:58.400 -> 13:00.840] Verstappen isn't in the new Drives Five?
[13:00.840 -> 13:01.920] Why?
[13:01.920 -> 13:03.720] Like, personally, he's not in it.
[13:03.720 -> 13:07.560] So, before- Are you sure? Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely mate.
[13:07.560 -> 13:11.580] So basically he didn't do any interviews personally for the whole thing because
[13:11.580 -> 13:15.020] he said last season or at the end of last season or some point that it was
[13:15.020 -> 13:19.140] too fake because they created rivalries and stuff. So he didn't want to do
[13:19.140 -> 13:23.660] personal interviews. But I have a feeling now that he's won the championship he's
[13:23.660 -> 13:25.280] probably gone back to them and gone
[13:25.280 -> 13:27.800] Please post as much as you can
[13:28.640 -> 13:31.180] I'm not sure how it's gonna work. But yeah, there shouldn't be
[13:32.000 -> 13:35.920] Any personal interviews of him. There might be, there might have been added
[13:35.920 -> 13:41.360] I just saw that online. Christian Horner was on Talk Sport the other day and he mentioned that it's amazing
[13:41.360 -> 13:48.240] He said that the new season of Dreadful Dive is insane. Well after that season in Formula One, it's amazing. He said that the new season of Drive to Survival is insane. Well after that season in Formula One it's going to be powerful.
[13:48.240 -> 13:51.680] I'm very excited, I'm very, very, very excited for it and I think,
[13:52.480 -> 13:58.080] I really feel like Drive to Survival will lose the stigma attached to it after this year because I
[13:58.080 -> 14:07.400] can 100% agree with the F1 fans that don't like the edits, the edited radios, the edited video clips. But then I
[14:07.400 -> 14:12.600] also see it from their point of view, they're trying to create a TV show that isn't just
[14:12.600 -> 14:18.720] aimed at the Grand Prix fans, this is a series but F1 fans love it. But yeah I'm really excited
[14:18.720 -> 14:19.720] for it.
[14:19.720 -> 14:24.240] Yeah, no, me too. I actually can't wait to watch it. March the 11th, isn't it?
[14:24.240 -> 14:25.080] Not long now.
[14:25.080 -> 14:26.020] Something like that.
[14:26.020 -> 14:26.860] Buzzing for it.
[14:26.860 -> 14:28.200] We actually, do you reckon,
[14:28.200 -> 14:29.840] are they gonna release like episode by episode?
[14:29.840 -> 14:31.520] I don't know, I hope it's just all at once,
[14:31.520 -> 14:32.360] because I wanna binge it.
[14:32.360 -> 14:33.880] We'll watch them all in one night, probably.
[14:33.880 -> 14:34.800] I wanna binge it.
[14:34.800 -> 14:36.440] Yeah, no, definitely.
[14:36.440 -> 14:38.400] So yeah, we've had the liveries,
[14:38.400 -> 14:39.840] and we thought for episode two,
[14:39.840 -> 14:42.700] we can get into some of the different cars,
[14:42.700 -> 14:45.480] some little predictions for the season,
[14:45.480 -> 14:48.200] talk about where we think things might go.
[14:48.200 -> 14:51.000] And I wanna start off by talking about
[14:51.000 -> 14:52.240] something I saw on YouTube.
[14:52.240 -> 14:55.480] I'm trying to do as much research as I can as a new fan,
[14:55.480 -> 14:58.640] and learning about the car-to-car racing,
[14:58.640 -> 15:01.020] the difference this year that they've made.
[15:01.020 -> 15:03.260] So what do you know about that?
[15:03.260 -> 15:08.400] So the whole reason that they've been changing these cars is to like make it more streamlined
[15:08.400 -> 15:14.000] in terms of like, the cars can get closer together, race better. The whole thing about
[15:14.000 -> 15:18.720] the dirty air out the back, it means cars can get closer and then, I don't know, they
[15:18.720 -> 15:22.480] just seem to think there'll be like more battles going on rather than like two teams heading
[15:22.480 -> 15:24.120] out the front and everyone behind.
[15:24.120 -> 15:30.000] I don't want to get into like technical scientific numbers but I think they've reduced dirty
[15:30.000 -> 15:36.640] air by like 80% with the new or like 60% or something it's like only going to be 10% of
[15:36.640 -> 15:40.480] what it was. Actually no if it's only going to be 10% of what it was they've reduced it
[15:40.480 -> 15:45.640] by 90%. Hang on, hang on, mathematics aren't my strong point. But even when you're-
[15:45.640 -> 15:48.080] You've just given us three numbers there, 60, 80, and 90.
[15:48.080 -> 15:49.640] Yeah, now cars should be able to race
[15:49.640 -> 15:51.240] directly behind each other.
[15:51.240 -> 15:54.160] And it won't just be the DRS that you need.
[15:54.160 -> 15:56.760] Yeah, it won't be so much of a thing.
[15:56.760 -> 15:59.080] So cars can get so much closer together.
[15:59.080 -> 16:02.560] But it's mad how much control the teams have
[16:02.560 -> 16:03.600] over that kind of stuff.
[16:03.600 -> 16:07.120] Because I was looking at a video about some guy on YouTube
[16:07.120 -> 16:08.520] that compared all the different cars
[16:08.520 -> 16:10.160] and body shapes that come out
[16:10.160 -> 16:13.320] and the different wings at the back designed differently.
[16:13.320 -> 16:15.600] Basically, I think it's either all of them
[16:15.600 -> 16:18.000] or the majority of the cars, they're pushing the air
[16:18.000 -> 16:20.800] through like the middle section of the wing.
[16:20.800 -> 16:22.880] You have like a, at the back you have like a top wing
[16:22.880 -> 16:23.720] and a bottom wing.
[16:23.720 -> 16:25.800] I'm sure there's like specific names for them.
[16:25.800 -> 16:27.440] I love what you do talk about this stuff.
[16:27.440 -> 16:30.480] And it pushes the air like through the middle.
[16:30.480 -> 16:32.720] But depending on how the wings shaped,
[16:32.720 -> 16:34.380] like obviously different cars,
[16:34.380 -> 16:36.320] it's gonna be different for different teams.
[16:36.320 -> 16:37.200] Wow.
[16:37.200 -> 16:38.560] So it's mad really.
[16:38.560 -> 16:40.240] I mean, I, cause we were under the assumption
[16:40.240 -> 16:42.480] that every car was just pretty much exactly the same.
[16:42.480 -> 16:44.080] Oh yeah, I just thought it was a shell, right?
[16:44.080 -> 16:46.000] And that's when I've seen all these images now,
[16:46.000 -> 16:50.080] I think Aston Martin's car is significantly smaller.
[16:50.080 -> 16:51.960] From looking at the comparisons that I've seen,
[16:51.960 -> 16:53.320] when they've drawn the lines across it.
[16:53.320 -> 16:55.160] Compared to the rest of them, or compared to the last season.
[16:55.160 -> 16:58.160] Yeah, Aston Martin's, compared to all of them this season,
[16:58.160 -> 16:59.920] it's like quite a lot smaller, I think.
[16:59.920 -> 17:01.360] Or if it's not Aston Martin,
[17:01.360 -> 17:03.240] one of the cars is a lot smaller.
[17:04.480 -> 17:07.760] And Red Bull, no, Ferrari, have them really big
[17:07.760 -> 17:12.000] like bath-size gaps on the side of their car.
[17:12.000 -> 17:14.000] They're huge, like side pods or whatever.
[17:14.000 -> 17:14.840] I don't know what they are.
[17:14.840 -> 17:15.660] What, the gills?
[17:15.660 -> 17:16.500] Like the fucking, where the radiator's coming out.
[17:16.500 -> 17:17.340] It's just like a massive gap, mate.
[17:17.340 -> 17:19.120] You could sit and have a bath in that.
[17:19.120 -> 17:20.720] Oh, on the floor, the black bit.
[17:20.720 -> 17:21.840] I don't know, is that it?
[17:21.840 -> 17:23.660] There's like a bath either side.
[17:23.660 -> 17:25.920] It's just wide, like really wide.
[17:25.920 -> 17:28.840] It's so interesting how they all do their cars.
[17:28.840 -> 17:31.360] But yeah, I always thought it was like one shell
[17:31.360 -> 17:34.200] and I never really thought you could change the outside.
[17:34.200 -> 17:36.560] I know you can change the way it looks and that,
[17:36.560 -> 17:39.080] but I didn't realize you could have like different lengths
[17:39.080 -> 17:41.040] and like different widths.
[17:41.040 -> 17:44.280] That's really interesting to see who's nailed it.
[17:44.280 -> 17:48.000] The front wing's made up of like three different sections.
[17:48.000 -> 17:49.560] I've seen that, like they're bars.
[17:49.560 -> 17:52.600] Yeah, and I noticed that like some of the teams,
[17:52.600 -> 17:55.120] the front of their nose cone attaches
[17:55.120 -> 17:58.640] to the first section of the front wing,
[17:58.640 -> 18:00.960] and a lot of them attach to the second bit.
[18:01.880 -> 18:02.720] Do you know what I mean?
[18:02.720 -> 18:04.480] But what I wanna know is like all these teams,
[18:04.480 -> 18:06.800] like they have so many technicians behind them
[18:06.800 -> 18:10.100] and people that they know what they're fucking doing, right?
[18:10.100 -> 18:12.520] So how do you decide whether it's better
[18:12.520 -> 18:14.080] to join on the first one or second one?
[18:14.080 -> 18:15.640] Like some teams must be thinking that's better
[18:15.640 -> 18:17.160] and the other teams think the other one's better.
[18:17.160 -> 18:19.920] That is why the technicians and the science behind it
[18:19.920 -> 18:21.080] is so important.
[18:21.080 -> 18:24.080] Because the only way I think these teams can be different
[18:24.080 -> 18:29.280] from the other teams is by the ideas that they come up with because everyone's on a cap now. There's a
[18:29.280 -> 18:31.920] cap of how much you can spend.
[18:31.920 -> 18:33.960] Oh that's called a spend cap.
[18:33.960 -> 18:37.680] Yes, a spend cap and you've got a Red Bull cap.
[18:37.680 -> 18:38.680] I've got a Red Bull cap.
[18:38.680 -> 18:39.680] With an Aston Martin t-shirt.
[18:39.680 -> 18:40.680] And an Aston Martin t-shirt.
[18:40.680 -> 18:41.680] Well done.
[18:41.680 -> 18:42.680] It looks good though, doesn't it?
[18:42.680 -> 18:43.680] It does.
[18:43.680 -> 18:44.680] We're not biased here.
[18:44.680 -> 18:45.520] And I'm in a house today
[18:47.160 -> 18:50.720] Yeah, are you wearing underneath the house jumper
[18:52.880 -> 18:54.880] Mercedes
[18:55.120 -> 18:58.960] Double-dipping baby mix and match just how we like it. Oh, it's funny
[18:58.960 -> 18:59.560] But yeah
[18:59.560 -> 19:04.400] We've got a spend cap now and I believe there's enough money in the sport that most of the teams will be out of just
[19:04.400 -> 19:06.480] Hit that spend cap to know what know what the spend cap is?
[19:06.480 -> 19:12.720] No, hundreds of millions I've assumed but the spend cap does not include... I thought it was 750 grand.
[19:12.720 -> 19:18.720] Are you joking? I'd probably replace like a wing mirror or something. Where did I get 750 grand from?
[19:18.720 -> 19:25.720] That is so wrong. Maybe it's 700... it oh. It wouldn't be 750 million, would it?
[19:25.720 -> 19:27.560] But the driver's wages aren't included,
[19:27.560 -> 19:30.000] and the three most important members of the team,
[19:30.000 -> 19:32.240] like team principal and guests and stuff like that,
[19:32.240 -> 19:33.680] their wages aren't included either.
[19:33.680 -> 19:36.240] So their spend caps are the same for the car.
[19:36.240 -> 19:38.720] And then every team has the budget on top, I think,
[19:38.720 -> 19:40.800] or within for their engine.
[19:40.800 -> 19:42.640] So that's really the only difference
[19:42.640 -> 19:45.720] between these cars, right, is what engine is in it and
[19:45.720 -> 19:50.200] what difference them technicians have been able to find within the shell.
[19:50.200 -> 19:51.200] The aero department.
[19:51.200 -> 19:54.760] But you were saying people do cheeky shit at the beginning of the season weren't you?
[19:54.760 -> 19:55.760] Yeah they do, yeah.
[19:55.760 -> 19:59.320] There was like, I don't know when it was, maybe like 20 years ago or something, Ferrari.
[19:59.320 -> 20:04.240] I don't know if it was Ferrari who started it but they brought out these giant like f***ing
[20:04.240 -> 20:05.680] seagull wings. Oh You showed me the photo.
[20:05.680 -> 20:06.760] Yeah, it looks like origami.
[20:06.760 -> 20:09.200] Like the wings are just sticking off like that.
[20:09.200 -> 20:10.560] Yeah, look how sat here like that.
[20:10.560 -> 20:11.800] It was so weird.
[20:11.800 -> 20:13.720] And then a couple other teams copied it.
[20:13.720 -> 20:15.760] And then I think they banned it shortly afterwards.
[20:15.760 -> 20:17.440] But there's been quite a few times like that
[20:17.440 -> 20:19.280] throughout F1, I think,
[20:19.280 -> 20:24.280] where teams have like tried to like add stuff to the car
[20:24.320 -> 20:26.760] and like claim that they're not like bending the rules when
[20:26.760 -> 20:29.560] But really they are I wonder who's done that this season
[20:30.160 -> 20:32.160] Has don't
[20:32.640 -> 20:39.920] Scared the house are gonna try anything that they can do after everyone's saying that everyone thinks has are definitely gonna get points after me
[20:39.920 -> 20:46.680] Saying Mazipin won't now Mazipin will I keep forgetting? Oh Oh, shout out to F1 Jamie, by the way, a TikToker.
[20:46.680 -> 20:49.200] My bet is that if Mazipin scores a point,
[20:49.200 -> 20:50.040] I'll get the tattoo.
[20:50.040 -> 20:52.080] And he said that if Mazipin doesn't,
[20:52.080 -> 20:53.800] he's gonna get a Mazipin tattoo.
[20:53.800 -> 20:54.640] Interesting.
[20:54.640 -> 20:56.880] It's been wicked seeing some F1 TikTokers
[20:56.880 -> 20:59.240] like reply to us, because we're completely new to this.
[20:59.240 -> 21:00.080] This is just fun for us.
[21:00.080 -> 21:01.840] And a tattoo artist actually reached out to you,
[21:01.840 -> 21:02.680] didn't he?
[21:02.680 -> 21:03.520] Yeah, a tattoo artist as well.
[21:03.520 -> 21:04.360] Unbelievable.
[21:04.360 -> 21:07.600] I'm talking, I'm not talking like, because I know you've got a couple of tattoos already,
[21:07.600 -> 21:13.480] I'm not talking like line work. You need to get like a full on, like portrait version of the Keaton Mouse Bin.
[21:13.480 -> 21:16.880] But we should extend, if you're getting it on your leg, we should extend his forehead.
[21:16.880 -> 21:20.400] I want it to be so big that if we go to the races, I pull my shorts out, people see it.
[21:20.400 -> 21:20.760] Yeah.
[21:20.760 -> 21:22.760] Or it just hangs out at the bottom of my shorts.
[21:23.480 -> 21:24.480] So people know.
[21:29.480 -> 21:33.320] Mate, imagine he goes and wins a race this season, I can get one of him holding the trophy. You should do a stevo and just get a whole portrait of him on your back.
[21:33.320 -> 21:34.320] Yeah.
[21:34.320 -> 21:39.600] I tell you what, if he wins the world championship, I'll get a stevo, a whole...
[21:39.600 -> 21:44.080] No, if Mazbin wins the world championship, I'll get his whole face on my back.
[21:44.080 -> 21:47.200] Massive. I'm that certain he's not going to win the World Championship.
[21:47.200 -> 21:50.160] But if he does win the World Championship, I have fucked it.
[21:50.160 -> 21:53.520] You know, if he ends up doing it, we'll be getting through the season.
[21:53.520 -> 21:54.800] That's this season, by the way.
[21:54.800 -> 21:55.760] You'll be fucking hating it, mate.
[21:55.760 -> 21:57.920] This season, in case he turns out to be a monster.
[21:58.480 -> 22:01.760] But that does lead me on to something else that I really wanted to ask you,
[22:01.760 -> 22:08.680] because it was a question that I also really want to ask the guests we get on here but looking at the current grid what
[22:08.680 -> 22:14.480] three drivers do you think are racing that could be a future world champion if
[22:14.480 -> 22:20.000] you had to give like your main three on that grid who haven't won it who do you
[22:20.000 -> 22:25.640] think over at some point could get there from From what we know, you've got to remember
[22:25.640 -> 22:29.960] we're going off the end of last season and we've watched as many highlights as we can.
[22:29.960 -> 22:33.760] Yeah, I mean I don't know it's a bit of a shot in the dark because I don't really know
[22:33.760 -> 22:37.880] a lot about the drivers yet and a lot of the drivers are still young so like they haven't
[22:37.880 -> 22:43.480] really like proven themselves yet but I do think like you just have to look at the youth
[22:43.480 -> 22:47.960] so someone like Lando. I believe Lando will be there or George Russell
[22:47.960 -> 22:53.640] I think George Russell will definitely be there and then I also think like Gasly could get really close
[22:53.640 -> 22:58.920] I think if you put Gasly back in that Red Bull conversation for another day, but I think
[22:59.760 -> 23:01.120] Gasly is
[23:01.120 -> 23:05.040] Unbelievable. I think he's such a good driver in the Alfa Tauri. Single-handedly
[23:05.040 -> 23:11.000] took Alfa Tauri up the leaderboard last season, didn't he? Really. Yuki Tsunoda DNF'd like
[23:11.000 -> 23:12.400] four or five races.
[23:12.400 -> 23:17.880] Yeah, true. And he skis. And we like skiing.
[23:17.880 -> 23:21.200] You're just sat there thinking, what can I add? What can I add? What did Fiat Gasly do
[23:21.200 -> 23:22.200] last season?
[23:22.200 -> 23:23.200] I saw him on Instagram once.
[23:23.200 -> 23:25.560] And Leclerc. Leclerc could definitely be world champion.
[23:25.560 -> 23:29.760] Yeah, it's funny you say that though, because a lot of people think that Carlos is better.
[23:29.760 -> 23:32.360] Do they? What do you think as a Ferrari fan?
[23:32.360 -> 23:38.360] I think Charles Leclerc is better looking, so if that means anything, maybe he'll win.
[23:38.360 -> 23:43.360] And also, he should be driving for Ferrari, because he's from like Monaco, which is like near Italy.
[23:43.360 -> 23:43.960] Got you.
[23:43.960 -> 23:52.640] Whereas Sainz is like... is he Mexican? Carlos Sainz? Yeah. No, Perez is Mexican.
[23:52.640 -> 23:57.280] Carlos Sainz is Spanish then. Yeah, I think so. If that's wrong that's just
[23:57.280 -> 24:02.240] another thing we've absolutely blown. But yeah, also another thing from preseason
[24:02.240 -> 24:07.800] testing, Russell got a quicker lap than Hamilton today, and they're in the same car Wow
[24:08.480 -> 24:11.480] Exact same car Wow I find that quite interesting
[24:12.400 -> 24:18.400] Well, that's very interesting because I also hear that Hamilton's been lying about the tire wear on his on his car
[24:18.400 -> 24:24.360] Would you mean lying well? I think it was I'm just reading about it here. It's more of a bluff
[24:23.360 -> 24:25.480] Well, I think it was, I'm just reading about it here. It's more of a bluff.
[24:25.480 -> 24:26.320] You reckon?
[24:26.320 -> 24:28.360] Yeah, so like he says it, because you know,
[24:28.360 -> 24:30.480] I'm pretty sure that each team could tap into
[24:30.480 -> 24:32.000] the other team's, well not tap in,
[24:32.000 -> 24:35.080] but they could hear like stuff from the other team's radio,
[24:35.080 -> 24:36.360] like during the races.
[24:36.360 -> 24:38.200] So like, I think if Hamilton was saying like,
[24:38.200 -> 24:40.720] oh man, my tyres are shot, my tyres are shot,
[24:40.720 -> 24:42.840] then Red Bull would be like, oh, all right,
[24:42.840 -> 24:44.400] let's go in and pit, because he's going to pit.
[24:44.400 -> 24:45.220] And then like- Undercut. Undercut, yeah, yeah, all right, let's go in and pit because he's going to pit. And then-
[24:45.220 -> 24:46.060] Undercut.
[24:46.060 -> 24:46.880] Undercut, yeah.
[24:46.880 -> 24:47.720] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[24:47.720 -> 24:49.160] Now we're getting our terms out.
[24:49.160 -> 24:50.660] Undercut and overcut.
[24:50.660 -> 24:52.460] That's what we learned last episode.
[24:53.660 -> 24:55.980] Yeah, but Hamilton also said in an interview
[24:55.980 -> 24:56.820] the other day, he said,
[24:56.820 -> 24:59.380] if you think what I did at the end of last season was good,
[24:59.380 -> 25:01.060] wait till you see me this season.
[25:01.060 -> 25:02.060] Fight and talk.
[25:02.060 -> 25:02.980] Hamilton said that?
[25:02.980 -> 25:03.900] Yeah.
[25:03.900 -> 25:08.720] Well, what did he do at the end of last season that was good? He lost. No but he was on fire, look at comeback. The
[25:08.720 -> 25:14.880] comeback was insane. Like he was, there was a big gap. Like it looked like Verstappen's
[25:14.880 -> 25:18.960] really and then Hamilton out of nowhere brings it back to level. And not only that. Yeah
[25:18.960 -> 25:21.960] but how does that happen? Mate I'll tell you what Hamilton did last season. Do you not
[25:21.960 -> 25:26.320] remember that race where he had the engine penalty and he was back of the grid and he did 15 overtakes and
[25:26.320 -> 25:32.800] Finished fifth mate and by their first corner, but he started and by the first corner. He was like 15 done five cars
[25:34.000 -> 25:38.000] Unbelievable, and I was just it and I thought that is why he's Lewis Hamilton
[25:38.000 -> 25:42.800] I never really known why I've seen him as good as he is and it just blew me away at the end of that season
[25:42.800 -> 25:43.460] That's it
[25:43.460 -> 25:48.080] All these all these drivers are going to be like world class but then it just takes
[25:48.080 -> 25:52.480] that one person to really stand out, step above the rest mate and that's what he is.
[25:52.480 -> 25:54.800] And that's what Schumacher was in my opinion.
[25:54.800 -> 25:58.080] And is that what Verstappen is?
[25:58.080 -> 25:59.080] Time will tell.
[25:59.080 -> 26:00.080] Time will tell.
[26:00.080 -> 26:03.520] That's the thing, it's one of those where yeah he's a world champion but he hasn't won
[26:03.520 -> 26:09.000] it seven times, you know what I I mean seven times is a lot that's like saying yeah Leicester
[26:09.000 -> 26:13.280] won the Premier League once. But how old is Verstappen, how long has Verstappen been
[26:13.280 -> 26:24.240] 2016 wasn't it he joined F1? I think his first season was 2016 and I think he was 18 right and he's 24 now does that make sense?
[26:24.240 -> 26:26.320] Yeah well he was the youngest ever driver to win a race,
[26:26.320 -> 26:27.720] which is an incredible stat.
[26:28.920 -> 26:30.680] So that's really good.
[26:30.680 -> 26:33.280] I do believe he's got more world championships in him
[26:33.280 -> 26:35.200] and I love Verstappen.
[26:35.200 -> 26:36.840] A few people commented on our TikToks
[26:36.840 -> 26:38.840] trying to figure out what teams we support.
[26:38.840 -> 26:41.360] I did want to talk about that on this episode.
[26:41.360 -> 26:42.960] How does it work?
[26:42.960 -> 26:46.280] Are you meant to support a team or like a person?
[26:46.280 -> 26:51.300] We spoke about the countries and saying like should you follow the person who's from your
[26:51.300 -> 26:56.120] country that's what we spoke about last time. I think it's both mate like because you can
[26:56.120 -> 27:03.640] support Arsenal but everyone loves Cristiano Ronaldo. Yeah I get that, I get that. I'm
[27:03.640 -> 27:06.400] pure Ferrari but like I love Fernando Alonso.
[27:06.800 -> 27:11.000] And it's weird one because I'm like 100% Red Bull, but then I love Haas.
[27:11.100 -> 27:13.000] But then I only love Haas because of the jokes.
[27:13.000 -> 27:14.400] Yeah, it's just a fucking gimmick.
[27:14.400 -> 27:15.800] And I also really like Ferrari.
[27:15.800 -> 27:17.400] I want Ferrari to do amazing.
[27:17.400 -> 27:18.600] I want Lando to do amazing.
[27:18.600 -> 27:19.900] I want McLaren to do amazing.
[27:20.500 -> 27:21.200] I like them all.
[27:21.200 -> 27:23.000] We just, we're so unbiased.
[27:23.000 -> 27:23.400] That's the thing.
[27:23.400 -> 27:25.880] You got two new F1 fans that aren't watching it
[27:25.880 -> 27:27.960] for a certain person or a team.
[27:27.960 -> 27:31.240] We just love the race, the fact that anything can happen.
[27:31.240 -> 27:33.040] Yeah, it's pretty exciting.
[27:33.040 -> 27:36.200] For me, the beauty of F1 is that,
[27:36.200 -> 27:38.300] when there was the wheel-to-wheel stuff,
[27:40.480 -> 27:43.200] and they're taking these corners at such high speed,
[27:44.080 -> 27:46.180] but they're literally millimetres away from each. But I mean, they're literally like millimeters away
[27:46.180 -> 27:47.020] from each other.
[27:47.020 -> 27:48.900] And that to me is beautiful.
[27:48.900 -> 27:51.200] Because there's like no margin for error.
[27:51.200 -> 27:54.360] That reminds me of the hilarious comment we got earlier.
[27:54.360 -> 27:57.580] We did the TikTok video from episode one where I say,
[27:57.580 -> 28:00.120] Fab couldn't remember who Gasly's teammate was.
[28:00.120 -> 28:01.880] And I go, Yuki.
[28:01.880 -> 28:03.960] And someone commented on it.
[28:03.960 -> 28:05.120] Thought you were going to recall Traffic Paradise from Yuki and someone commented on it. Thought you were going to recall
[28:05.120 -> 28:07.440] traffic paradise from Yuki.
[28:07.440 -> 28:10.280] I had no idea what that means.
[28:10.280 -> 28:11.120] I had to comment back.
[28:11.120 -> 28:12.120] What does that mean?
[28:12.120 -> 28:12.960] I have no idea.
[28:12.960 -> 28:14.600] It must be something from a race we missed.
[28:14.600 -> 28:15.640] I just put, oh God, mate,
[28:15.640 -> 28:17.400] I haven't got a clue what you're on about.
[28:17.400 -> 28:20.480] That's been our reply to every comment.
[28:20.480 -> 28:22.200] Oh, sorry, mate, we're new.
[28:22.200 -> 28:23.120] We haven't got an idea.
[28:23.120 -> 28:24.320] Us talking about them tyres.
[28:24.320 -> 28:28.000] Someone said there's more. I was like, nah,, soft, medium and hard's enough for me for now.
[28:28.000 -> 28:28.500] Yeah.
[28:28.500 -> 28:29.740] Oh yeah, there is.
[28:29.740 -> 28:31.240] Yeah, you've got a Wets.
[28:31.240 -> 28:32.320] Yeah, Wets, intermediate.
[28:32.320 -> 28:35.740] Different compounds for different tracks, which you taught me last episode.
[28:35.740 -> 28:37.200] Beautiful fact there as well.
[28:37.200 -> 28:37.840] Thank you very much.
[28:37.840 -> 28:40.840] See, people are learning on this podcast, it's more than just a joke.
[28:40.840 -> 28:42.240] We're learning together, mate.
[28:42.240 -> 28:46.800] And I like to think that there is some people out there who are actually learning with us because I know that there's going to be a
[28:46.800 -> 28:52.300] lot of listeners out there who have been watching F1 for a long time and know their shit but
[28:52.300 -> 28:57.340] there's also going to be new fans just like us. So happy days. What are some of the other
[28:57.340 -> 29:02.520] things we missed out on? We haven't talked about in episode one, Michael Massi has been
[29:02.520 -> 29:07.200] replaced. They have announced three sprint races for this season.
[29:07.200 -> 29:09.320] So Michael Massey was always gonna get replaced,
[29:09.320 -> 29:11.800] in my opinion, now it's like VAR and two guys,
[29:11.800 -> 29:13.040] so we don't need to get into that.
[29:13.040 -> 29:14.320] Oh yeah, VAR.
[29:14.320 -> 29:15.880] Yeah, VAR's interesting.
[29:15.880 -> 29:17.600] Is it called VAR?
[29:17.600 -> 29:18.600] No, I think it's called something else.
[29:18.600 -> 29:19.920] I'm just calling that because of football,
[29:19.920 -> 29:23.200] but basically, and you can't talk to them anymore.
[29:23.200 -> 29:24.960] They can't radio in anymore.
[29:24.960 -> 29:25.800] Teams can't talk to the race. They can't radio in anymore. Teams can't talk
[29:25.800 -> 29:30.760] to the race director. Which is interesting. Which I think is good. Yeah, I never really
[29:30.760 -> 29:35.360] got why they could. I mean in football you can't. Like I think cut Massey a little bit
[29:35.360 -> 29:40.020] of slack man. Like he was getting, apparently he was getting hounded like every race. Like
[29:40.020 -> 29:46.080] all these team principals started like radioing into him all the time.
[29:46.080 -> 29:48.040] And like, he must've got a few great hits
[29:48.040 -> 29:49.360] after that last season.
[29:49.360 -> 29:52.340] Yeah, I mean, he was making a decision
[29:52.340 -> 29:55.000] that would be very hard to make.
[29:55.000 -> 29:59.880] I don't know whether he's solo the person who makes it,
[29:59.880 -> 30:02.840] or whether there's like a team of people that are saying,
[30:02.840 -> 30:04.040] hang on, I've got hiccups.
[30:04.040 -> 30:07.040] What a terrible time to get hiccups.
[30:07.040 -> 30:07.880] Pause.
[30:07.880 -> 30:11.300] Gonna have to have a drink out of my Pitstop glass.
[30:12.640 -> 30:13.880] Product placement.
[30:16.640 -> 30:17.480] Much better.
[30:17.480 -> 30:18.600] But yeah, Massie's gone
[30:18.600 -> 30:21.060] and they've announced three sprint races.
[30:21.060 -> 30:21.920] Do you like sprints?
[30:21.920 -> 30:23.800] We only watched one, didn't we?
[30:23.800 -> 30:24.800] At the end of last season.
[30:24.800 -> 30:26.760] Yeah, I don't think we really knew what was going on to be honest
[30:26.760 -> 30:32.000] I had no idea had no idea but then from some comments I've seen I think a lot of people don't know what's going on
[30:32.000 -> 30:34.000] What is the point of them? I?
[30:34.040 -> 30:39.080] Don't know but my opinion on it is I actually think it's quite fun
[30:39.840 -> 30:46.480] I like the way it made the whole weekend a little bit more exciting for me. A bit different, like a bit of variation.
[30:46.480 -> 30:51.040] Yeah, because you still had qualifying, the sprint, and then the main race.
[30:51.040 -> 30:52.760] You almost get like an extra segment.
[30:52.760 -> 30:57.560] I mean, I like watching a bit of practice, but practice doesn't thrill me.
[30:58.240 -> 31:02.960] Really. I'll watch a bit of it and I want to see who's quick and the track and who's handling it.
[31:02.960 -> 31:05.520] But practices can be a little bit dull, I think.
[31:05.520 -> 31:06.540] Yeah, no, I feel that.
[31:06.540 -> 31:07.560] I think the qualifying's great.
[31:07.560 -> 31:08.540] If we ever go to the races,
[31:08.540 -> 31:10.840] we'll definitely be bevved up on practice day.
[31:10.840 -> 31:11.680] Yeah.
[31:11.680 -> 31:13.660] I'm doing no work.
[31:14.560 -> 31:17.000] Yeah, we'll definitely be bevved up
[31:17.000 -> 31:18.540] if we do get out to any of the races,
[31:18.540 -> 31:20.120] which is something we actually want to do,
[31:20.120 -> 31:24.920] not just for the pleasure of going to watch a Formula 1 race,
[31:24.920 -> 31:30.400] but also because we want to essentially try and take the Pit Stop podcast on tour.
[31:30.400 -> 31:36.800] We want to be traveling around to the races, not just to meet people in the F1,
[31:36.800 -> 31:40.700] but like you guys, we want to meet the fans of F1,
[31:40.700 -> 31:43.400] because I think you guys are like the seed of F1,
[31:43.400 -> 31:45.200] like the people that we should be talking to.
[31:45.200 -> 31:50.480] I 100% agree. There's so many like creators online that would just be so much fun to talk to.
[31:50.480 -> 31:56.960] I've said since we started this, I believe the F1 is evolving in a way that other sports and
[31:56.960 -> 32:02.880] other social medias did, businesses and brands did 10 years ago. I think creators are going to become
[32:03.520 -> 32:07.600] so much bigger. Aston Martin got loads of TikTokers down to their launch
[32:07.600 -> 32:08.560] that is unbelievable.
[32:08.560 -> 32:09.400] It's so cool to see.
[32:09.400 -> 32:10.600] That's really interesting.
[32:10.600 -> 32:12.360] Literally the word creator is like,
[32:12.360 -> 32:14.440] I'd never even really thought about it around F1,
[32:14.440 -> 32:16.080] but since doing the TikTok,
[32:16.080 -> 32:18.180] it's something that we've realized like,
[32:18.180 -> 32:20.960] getting comments and follows from people who are like,
[32:20.960 -> 32:25.720] Kevin F1 or Formula One, John, or something like that. You realize how many people actually are creating content around the F1 or Formula One John or something like that you realize
[32:25.720 -> 32:29.600] how many people actually are creating content around the F1s pretty cool.
[32:29.600 -> 32:32.480] Yeah and then there's always it takes a few years and then eventually these
[32:32.480 -> 32:37.480] brands and these companies will start to really understand that these people are
[32:37.480 -> 32:38.800] good for their audience.
[32:38.800 -> 32:39.300] Valuable.
[32:39.300 -> 32:43.100] Like F1 is one of the richest sports so brands are going to be some of the
[32:43.100 -> 32:45.880] hardest to you know work with influencers.
[32:45.880 -> 32:49.200] There's insurances, there's putting their name to things, there's NDAs, there's loads
[32:49.200 -> 32:50.200] of stuff.
[32:50.200 -> 32:55.560] But I do believe content creators on TikTok, Instagram, it's just great for the sport.
[32:55.560 -> 32:57.020] I want to interview them all.
[32:57.020 -> 33:01.240] I want to go to these races and talk to people that we can't understand their language, it
[33:01.240 -> 33:02.240] would be funny.
[33:02.240 -> 33:04.120] It would be hilarious.
[33:04.120 -> 33:05.760] Film it all, do everything.
[33:05.760 -> 33:09.280] Yeah we want to take this on the road. We definitely want to go to our first race this
[33:09.280 -> 33:13.360] season so we'll keep you updated if anything happens with that. We got a month to the first
[33:13.360 -> 33:19.480] race and we got no tickets. Yeah. What's the first race? Bahrain. We tried to buy some
[33:19.480 -> 33:23.040] the other day didn't we? Didn't go very well. Yeah I did actually drop Bahrain a little
[33:23.040 -> 33:25.840] DM. Did you? Yeah I didn't tell you but I did drop a little
[33:31.840 -> 33:37.840] Every single race I did it with a stone as well. Neither of them replied. Neither of them have even seen it. Oh
[33:39.320 -> 33:45.120] That's a shame. We went to the f1 experience shop in blue water the other day cool shop just to get some more merch
[33:45.120 -> 33:47.640] Oh, yeah, the Grand Prix shot. Yeah, the Grand Prix shot
[33:47.640 -> 33:52.640] That's what it's called and the lovely lady behind said she's gonna Silverstone which we're very jealous about
[33:52.760 -> 33:57.040] Yeah, we are jealous about that. But don't feel we can get some tickets for the next season
[33:57.040 -> 34:02.720] I don't know how early you have to buy them. Maybe maybe a second bid or a queue
[34:02.720 -> 34:05.160] I don't know. I don't know, some of them,
[34:05.160 -> 34:07.600] like we looked at Silverstone, sold out,
[34:07.600 -> 34:10.640] but then like the Imola ones aren't even on sale yet.
[34:10.640 -> 34:11.880] So I don't get it.
[34:11.880 -> 34:14.320] Well, maybe, hopefully we can go to a race.
[34:14.320 -> 34:16.960] I think the Dutch Grand Prix would be really cool.
[34:16.960 -> 34:17.800] And it's quite close.
[34:17.800 -> 34:18.620] So we could just drive there.
[34:18.620 -> 34:20.440] And we could take Supermax and go bright orange.
[34:20.440 -> 34:22.960] Yeah, and wear a load of McLaren merch.
[34:22.960 -> 34:32.600] Oh God. On Instagram this week we asked you guys what are some questions new Formula One
[34:32.600 -> 34:37.260] fans don't understand. So people and this is great for us because people have sent in
[34:37.260 -> 34:42.300] things that they don't understand about the sport and I'm going to ask some of them to
[34:42.300 -> 34:44.300] Fab and see whether Fab knows.
[34:44.300 -> 34:48.880] Oh wow putting me on the spot. Well I you know more than me do I you watch like YouTube
[34:48.880 -> 34:53.080] isn't that then yeah so I reckon you know a bit more than me I was watching a
[34:53.080 -> 34:58.240] video about pull and push suspension you're ready for these have you got any
[34:58.240 -> 35:02.840] questions about that hit me up blow you away we're gonna start you off with a
[35:02.840 -> 35:05.600] basic answer and we spoke about a little bit just now but
[35:05.600 -> 35:08.840] someone said why doesn't every team have the same engine?
[35:08.840 -> 35:10.720] Surely that'd be a lot more fair.
[35:10.720 -> 35:14.880] I don't think you want it to be fair.
[35:14.880 -> 35:17.400] I also think a lot of teams wouldn't want the same engine.
[35:17.400 -> 35:18.400] No.
[35:18.400 -> 35:20.280] Because they all have the same budget.
[35:20.280 -> 35:23.200] Who's making the engine for Red Bull at the minute, is it Honda still?
[35:23.200 -> 35:27.440] Should we just say yes? Yep. Who's making the engine for Red Bull at the minute? Is it Honda still?
[35:28.400 -> 35:32.160] Should we just say yes? Yep. Honda are making the engine for Red Bull this year.
[35:32.160 -> 35:37.040] I have a funny feeling but I like Ferrari doing horses. Is that right?
[35:39.520 -> 35:43.280] I don't know because I find, I think when it's an outside source right,
[35:43.280 -> 35:47.880] so Honda don't have a team at the moment moment so they just supply any engine but I feel like if Ferrari
[35:47.880 -> 35:52.060] are making an engine for themselves. But they do mate, they do. Numerous teams
[35:52.060 -> 35:55.800] have an engine from another team. I know that's what I'm saying I find that quite
[35:55.800 -> 35:59.280] weird because like surely Ferrari could just like turn down the speed. I think
[35:59.280 -> 36:02.440] that's like the iPhones when a new iPhone comes out you know oh Apple will
[36:02.440 -> 36:05.100] slow my iPhone down so I buy the new one. That's what I'm saying, man.
[36:05.100 -> 36:06.560] They just log in online.
[36:06.560 -> 36:09.000] That's it, Ferrari could just dabble with the engine a bit,
[36:09.000 -> 36:10.120] say, oh, here you go, Hass.
[36:10.120 -> 36:12.520] Yeah, there's a Ferrari engine, and really it's like a-
[36:12.520 -> 36:13.360] Enjoy!
[36:13.360 -> 36:16.680] It's like a VW Golf 1.2 diesel,
[36:16.680 -> 36:17.520] do you know what I mean?
[36:17.520 -> 36:18.340] Imagine!
[36:18.340 -> 36:20.000] V2.
[36:20.000 -> 36:22.480] Someone said, what is a formation lap,
[36:22.480 -> 36:24.160] and how does it work?
[36:24.160 -> 36:27.640] Formation lap is when the cars drive around
[36:27.640 -> 36:29.360] before they start the race.
[36:29.360 -> 36:30.480] Just to get the tires warm.
[36:30.480 -> 36:31.600] Yeah, get the tires warm.
[36:31.600 -> 36:33.160] But I can understand why you'd look at that
[36:33.160 -> 36:34.840] and think, how does this work?
[36:34.840 -> 36:37.400] Because I haven't really understood it either
[36:37.400 -> 36:38.800] towards the end of last season,
[36:38.800 -> 36:40.400] because I noticed what they were doing,
[36:40.400 -> 36:42.720] leaving the massive gaps,
[36:42.720 -> 36:48.800] so that the people that go round and pole will actually get to their position and then be sat there waiting for like 20-30
[36:48.800 -> 36:53.680] seconds for the cars so far behind. So then it leaves you, obviously it's better
[36:53.680 -> 36:57.040] to have a bit of warmth in the tyres but would you just be better off standing
[36:57.040 -> 37:00.960] start if there's gonna be their massive gaps anyway? And just heat the tyres with
[37:00.960 -> 37:05.880] those little blankets they put on them. Yeah I don't quite understand. I don't know what the rules are on that,
[37:05.880 -> 37:09.320] but I saw some really big gaps at the end of last season on the formation lap.
[37:09.320 -> 37:10.560] I don't know if that's normal.
[37:10.560 -> 37:14.960] No, I feel like I've heard of a formation lap in like other sports,
[37:15.280 -> 37:17.160] like a formation thing.
[37:17.160 -> 37:19.040] Have you? What sports?
[37:19.040 -> 37:20.400] Basketball, though.
[37:20.400 -> 37:22.240] Formation lap in basketball?
[37:22.240 -> 37:24.560] Yeah, I don't know.
[37:24.560 -> 37:25.960] Not a good idea to be honest.
[37:25.960 -> 37:28.160] Olympics, Olympics maybe.
[37:28.160 -> 37:30.240] Someone said, after watching for 10 years,
[37:30.240 -> 37:32.480] I don't understand, understand?
[37:32.480 -> 37:33.800] Do you understand?
[37:33.800 -> 37:38.080] I don't understand the logic between strategy choices.
[37:38.080 -> 37:40.600] So like why people would do certain things.
[37:42.120 -> 37:45.000] What are some of your favourite strategies that they do?
[37:45.000 -> 37:50.000] I don't know about strategies, I think they keep their cards probably fairly close to their chest when it comes to strategies,
[37:50.000 -> 37:54.000] but I can see why the strategy would change depending on the outcome of the race.
[37:54.000 -> 38:01.000] Definitely, and the strategy can also change in an instant because the way you have to look at it is if two drivers do the same thing all race,
[38:01.000 -> 38:05.480] how are you going to gain the advantage right? So it's on the team's
[38:05.480 -> 38:10.640] back to control the strategy throughout the game, throughout the game, throughout the
[38:10.640 -> 38:14.920] race, look at the safety cars, look at everyone when they've pitted and come up with the best
[38:14.920 -> 38:16.880] strategy for the ongoing race.
[38:16.880 -> 38:21.480] The only thing I know is that if I go crash into a wall on F1 2021 then the bloke comes
[38:21.480 -> 38:24.760] on the radio and says there is a new strategy available.
[38:24.760 -> 38:28.800] Straight away, that's all I hear on that game. Mate game my wheels hanging off. What other strategy do you have?
[38:29.360 -> 38:33.040] As we try to get rid of the thing it pops up and I can never figure out
[38:35.880 -> 38:40.000] B and the menu comes up and then I'm trying to fly around a corner at 200 miles an hour
[38:40.000 -> 38:42.000] I can't get rid of the fucking menu
[38:42.960 -> 38:45.920] Do you reckon f1 drivers have that same issue?
[38:45.920 -> 38:51.800] I don't know, but I reckon a lot of people have, I've just got completely brain dead.
[38:51.800 -> 38:55.760] I have no idea what I was going to say.
[38:55.760 -> 38:58.280] Ditto brother, I'm right there with you.
[38:58.280 -> 39:02.640] The final one we got is what tyre do you have to start on depending on your position on
[39:02.640 -> 39:03.640] the grid?
[39:03.640 -> 39:10.480] I don't think that makes much sense. Stence? Sense. But I do think isn't there a thing where you have to start
[39:10.480 -> 39:14.800] on the tyre you could get your quickest lap and qualify? That was the case up until this season.
[39:14.800 -> 39:19.120] And that's what happened on the last race of last season wasn't it? Verstappen got his fastest lap
[39:19.120 -> 39:27.580] on softs and then everyone was saying that this could be as well, but I think Verstappen got his fastest lap on soft tyres
[39:27.580 -> 39:29.240] in qualifying for the last race.
[39:29.240 -> 39:30.880] So he had to start on softs.
[39:30.880 -> 39:32.640] But then do you remember there was that safety car
[39:32.640 -> 39:34.680] or something which worked to his advantage
[39:34.680 -> 39:37.200] and he could get in and change.
[39:37.200 -> 39:40.120] I think you have to start on what you qualify on.
[39:40.120 -> 39:40.960] But I don't know.
[39:40.960 -> 39:43.280] You start with the last lap of qualifying.
[39:43.280 -> 39:44.120] I thought-
[39:44.120 -> 39:45.400] Not your fastest lap of qualifying. That's what I didn't get. I don't know. You started the last lap of qualifying. Not your fastest lap of qualifying.
[39:45.400 -> 39:47.400] That's what I didn't get.
[39:47.400 -> 39:49.800] I don't know, but what I thought happened
[39:49.800 -> 39:52.400] was he drove over a bit of gravel.
[39:52.400 -> 39:55.120] And so there was like a bit of shit on his tyres,
[39:55.120 -> 39:59.120] which then ruined them a little bit, which then...
[39:59.120 -> 40:00.520] What did it do to your tyres?
[40:00.520 -> 40:01.360] Uh...
[40:03.360 -> 40:04.200] Gravity tyres.
[40:04.200 -> 40:06.000] Cut the tyres up a little bit. Yeah, I don't really. Uh... Gravity tires. Cut the tires up a little bit.
[40:06.000 -> 40:10.960] Yeah, I don't really know what happened, but I think there's some kind of rule around.
[40:10.960 -> 40:15.320] We'll look at that for next episode and we'll tell you what the tires work with qualifying.
[40:15.320 -> 40:16.320] Good idea.
[40:16.320 -> 40:19.040] That's the next thing we're going to investigate from you, lovely lot.
[40:19.040 -> 40:22.160] If you do have any questions about push and pull with the suspension, then hit me up.
[40:22.160 -> 40:24.160] Well, come on then, what is push and pull suspension?
[40:24.160 -> 40:25.000] I actually wasn't prepared for this. You can't sit there and say you've watched the video. about push and pull with the suspension and hit me up. Well, come on then, what is push and pull suspension?
[40:25.000 -> 40:26.320] I actually wasn't prepared for this.
[40:26.320 -> 40:28.160] You can't sit there and say, watch the video,
[40:28.160 -> 40:30.000] ask me push and pull, ask me push and pull.
[40:30.000 -> 40:31.200] It's really complicated.
[40:31.200 -> 40:35.240] It's really complicated because you have to look at a diagram
[40:35.240 -> 40:36.880] of how the suspension works.
[40:36.880 -> 40:41.440] But basically, so the way the wheels are attached to the car,
[40:41.440 -> 40:45.980] there's like two beams, two rods, which don't do anything. They just hold the tire to the car there's like two beams, two rods which don't do
[40:45.980 -> 40:49.880] anything they just hold the tire to the car and the third diagonal rod is the
[40:49.880 -> 40:53.520] suspension. I've seen them fly off on the game I know exactly what you're on about mate.
[40:53.520 -> 41:02.720] I know exactly what you're on about. And why when the wheel flies off on that game is it's stuck on by a bit of masking tape it just flies round like that.
[41:02.720 -> 41:05.780] Yeah it flaps around like a little cable.
[41:07.800 -> 41:09.720] But no, these rods go into basically like some sort of ball bearing thing
[41:09.720 -> 41:13.200] and it's just essentially, so if that's the ball bearing,
[41:13.200 -> 41:14.640] like my holding my fist out.
[41:14.640 -> 41:16.000] There are people listening, can't see.
[41:16.000 -> 41:18.200] Oh yeah, this is a podcast.
[41:18.200 -> 41:19.200] My bad.
[41:19.200 -> 41:21.160] So basically the way the rod attaches
[41:21.160 -> 41:24.020] to the wheel on the inside, if it's on the top of it,
[41:24.020 -> 41:30.400] it's like a push suspension because when the wheel moves it pushes it, whereas if it's underneath and
[41:30.400 -> 41:31.760] it's like pulling it.
[41:31.760 -> 41:32.760] Oh yeah, cool.
[41:32.760 -> 41:33.760] Something like that.
[41:33.760 -> 41:34.760] Makes perfect sense, mate.
[41:34.760 -> 41:35.760] Yeah.
[41:35.760 -> 41:36.760] Yeah.
[41:36.760 -> 41:37.760] I just, let's not clip this bit.
[41:37.760 -> 41:42.040] Well I hope you learned something with that there at the end.
[41:42.040 -> 41:46.000] I thought I was going to have a really smart answer, I just sounded like even more of an idiot than I am.
[41:46.000 -> 41:48.000] No, I thought that was pretty good.
[41:48.000 -> 41:54.000] I actually think for episode 2 here, we have done a good job of answering some questions, giving our opinions on the cars.
[41:54.000 -> 41:54.500] Yeah.
[41:54.500 -> 41:58.000] But now we've got to surprise everyone with our second prediction.
[41:58.000 -> 41:58.500] Woah.
[41:58.500 -> 42:05.460] So to start off with, I had if Nikita Mazepin scores a point, I'm going to get a tattoo of him, basically. Or was it that if Nikita Mazepin scores a point I'm gonna get a tattoo of him basically or
[42:05.460 -> 42:09.380] was it that if Nikita Mazepin doesn't score a point? I can't even remember what my prediction was.
[42:09.380 -> 42:13.180] Don't try and change it now and dig yourself out of this hole. Your prediction was terrible.
[42:13.180 -> 42:17.460] My prediction was that Nikita Mazepin doesn't score a point this season but I said if
[42:17.460 -> 42:21.580] he does I'll get a tattoo of him because I like Nikita Mazepin. Right. Yours was
[42:21.580 -> 42:25.780] that Haas will get points in the first three races. So you are absolutely fucked.
[42:25.780 -> 42:28.000] No, I don't agree with you, no.
[42:28.000 -> 42:29.320] Well, we're going to be filming ourselves
[42:29.320 -> 42:30.160] watching the races.
[42:30.160 -> 42:30.980] And a lot of people in the comments didn't agree with you.
[42:30.980 -> 42:33.400] To be fair, people in the comments are on your side.
[42:33.400 -> 42:34.600] There you go, because I know my shit.
[42:34.600 -> 42:36.160] But we're going to film ourselves watching the races.
[42:36.160 -> 42:38.480] So if that does happen, you're going to get the reaction.
[42:38.480 -> 42:39.880] That's going to be really fun.
[42:39.880 -> 42:40.720] I can't wait to do that.
[42:40.720 -> 42:41.560] I think you guys will like that.
[42:41.560 -> 42:43.080] I think that's a really nice segment,
[42:43.080 -> 42:45.760] like because we can just film the whole thing
[42:45.760 -> 42:48.120] and just post that something funny happens.
[42:48.120 -> 42:50.040] And if nothing funny happens, we'll make something funny.
[42:50.040 -> 42:51.840] Yeah, we'll make it funny.
[42:51.840 -> 42:52.800] Hit me, Fab.
[42:52.800 -> 42:54.560] My second prediction.
[42:54.560 -> 42:55.560] Yeah, you got five.
[42:55.560 -> 42:57.160] What's gonna be your second?
[42:58.520 -> 42:59.760] My second prediction
[43:02.460 -> 43:03.300] is that
[43:06.280 -> 43:12.000] Mick Schumacher will drive for Ferrari for at least one race
[43:12.000 -> 43:15.240] this season and he will win
[43:15.240 -> 43:22.240] are you actually trying to score any points or are you just thinking of the most ridiculous shit
[43:23.640 -> 43:26.960] says you about Mazepin not getting a point!
[43:26.960 -> 43:29.960] What? That's probably gonna happen in 22 races, they didn't get any!
[43:29.960 -> 43:31.960] My god.
[43:31.960 -> 43:36.960] You're saying a driver that doesn't even drive for that team, yeah he's a reserved driver, is gonna win a race in a Ferrari?
[43:36.960 -> 43:38.960] Yeah.
[43:38.960 -> 43:40.960] In his first race in that car, you're telling me he's gonna win?
[43:40.960 -> 43:42.960] I think it's in his blood. If you were to take a-
[43:42.960 -> 43:46.320] I hope he does mate, I'm with you. I'd want that to happen.
[43:46.320 -> 43:49.440] Alright, let me put it this way. If Mick Schumacher-
[43:52.480 -> 43:54.240] I absolutely love Schumacher.
[43:54.240 -> 43:55.200] Mack Schumacher-
[43:57.600 -> 44:01.840] If Mick Schumacher cuts his leg and blood comes out, what colour is it?
[44:01.840 -> 44:02.400] Red.
[44:02.400 -> 44:03.920] And what colour is Ferrari?
[44:03.920 -> 44:04.240] Red.
[44:04.880 -> 44:06.080] Do you see what I mean? I- it's all just colour is Ferrari? Red. Do you see what I mean?
[44:06.080 -> 44:07.600] It's all just hip and a guitar.
[44:07.600 -> 44:08.600] Do you see what I mean?
[44:08.600 -> 44:10.080] You no longer look stupid, mate.
[44:10.080 -> 44:10.580] Thank you.
[44:10.580 -> 44:12.080] You look very, very clever for that.
[44:12.080 -> 44:12.980] Thank you very much.
[44:12.980 -> 44:14.980] Well, mine's also about someone winning a race.
[44:14.980 -> 44:16.660] I've got a race winner prediction.
[44:16.660 -> 44:17.800] Yeah, is it Mazpin?
[44:17.800 -> 44:19.800] No.
[44:19.800 -> 44:23.880] My prediction is that Valtteri Bottas will win a race this season.
[44:23.880 -> 44:24.880] Yeah?
[44:24.880 -> 44:25.760] I think he will,
[44:25.760 -> 44:30.160] yeah. He's in the Romeo. He's in the Romeo. By the way, did you see the livery they brought
[44:30.160 -> 44:37.040] out? Yeah, not bad. Camo. Yeah, very... was it? Oh, I was looking at the wrong car. Are
[44:37.040 -> 44:40.960] you joking? Are you joking? Oh, mate, I really didn't think that was... I thought that was
[44:40.960 -> 44:45.920] Al Fattori. No, that's Romeo. I don't think it's their final livery.
[44:45.920 -> 44:47.480] Are you sure?
[44:47.480 -> 44:48.640] I am actually 100% sure.
[44:48.640 -> 44:49.720] Okay, cool.
[44:49.720 -> 44:52.120] No, yeah, I think Bottas can win a race this season.
[44:52.120 -> 44:54.000] I'm a big Bottas fan.
[44:54.000 -> 44:55.840] I think he's a great driver.
[44:55.840 -> 44:57.220] And I feel like there'll just be a race
[44:57.220 -> 44:58.700] where everything will come together for him.
[44:58.700 -> 45:00.360] He's gonna be battling.
[45:00.360 -> 45:04.600] He's in a team now where they want him to be that main guy.
[45:04.600 -> 45:06.160] I think he's a smart driver, isn't he?
[45:06.160 -> 45:06.960] He's a smart driver.
[45:06.960 -> 45:07.460] Really smart.
[45:07.460 -> 45:11.760] Can't wait to see some of the laps he puts in in that Romeo.
[45:11.760 -> 45:14.960] I do just want to check the pre-season testing just to see how he got on.
[45:14.960 -> 45:16.800] Oh, he come 10th today in the Romeo.
[45:16.800 -> 45:19.920] Interesting. I'm excited to see Alex Albon back.
[45:19.920 -> 45:21.760] It's going to be a great season.
[45:21.760 -> 45:22.560] Are you? I'm not.
[45:22.560 -> 45:23.680] Why?
[45:23.680 -> 45:25.760] I don't know. I felt like he was uh
[45:26.640 -> 45:30.080] He kind of missed out on that last year for a reason. I don't think he was good enough
[45:30.080 -> 45:34.800] Who was he again Red Bull Red Bull like half a season and they replaced by Sergio
[45:34.800 -> 45:39.140] So wasn't it Gasly was in for half a season, and they replaced Gassi with with
[45:39.760 -> 45:48.920] Albon because he wasn't good enough, and then they got rid of Albon with Perez who come over from Racing Point. Yeah and Perez is a solid driver. Yeah Perez is a
[45:48.920 -> 45:52.320] solid driver. I think he's a good teammate for Max and I just like him in general. Yeah it's
[45:52.320 -> 45:56.920] gonna be an interesting season ahead. Well there we go, end of episode 2. Any
