[01:40.720 -> 01:41.720] Really?
[01:41.720 -> 01:44.600] I feel like we've been in the whole Pit Stop world for like years now.
[01:44.600 -> 01:49.680] I feel like we've conquered the game. F1. Conquered it already? Are you joking? I'm ready to move
[01:49.680 -> 01:53.480] on to the next one mate. What's the next sport we're covering? We've only just started. I
[01:53.480 -> 01:57.760] feel like we've been going for a couple of weeks. Yeah, no. It does not feel like 30
[01:57.760 -> 02:01.360] to me. When you said this is episode 30, I was like, that is absolutely crazy. Yeah,
[02:01.360 -> 02:07.800] it's still very fresh. Yeah, very fresh. And happy to be here. Very happy to to be here that's good to hear I hope you guys having a great day
[02:07.800 -> 02:12.200] listening at home or wherever you may be this is the Thursday episode we haven't
[02:12.200 -> 02:15.680] got a race this weekend which is a bit sad but we're here to fill the void
[02:15.680 -> 02:21.440] between race weekends in today's episode we're gonna be speaking about has Sergio
[02:21.440 -> 02:25.000] Perez already signed a new contract with Red Bull?
[02:25.000 -> 02:29.840] Guys, I just want to quickly say we filmed this episode a couple of days ago, so I'm
[02:29.840 -> 02:35.560] adding this little bit of audio in, but Sergio Perez has now signed for Red Bull until 2024.
[02:35.560 -> 02:36.560] Whoa.
[02:36.560 -> 02:38.560] It's officially done.
[02:38.560 -> 02:43.200] So everything that we're about to speak about, ignore it, because we filmed this, Fab's away
[02:43.200 -> 02:50.480] this weekend, so we're trying to pre-film, but the deal is done. Sergio Perez will be with Red Bull until 2024.
[02:50.480 -> 02:58.960] Certified, deal done, accepted, bash. Okay, back to the episode.
[02:58.960 -> 03:04.240] Who knows, we're going to get straight into that. We're going to talk about the budget
[03:04.240 -> 03:05.600] caps and inflation
[03:05.600 -> 03:08.920] in Formula One after Christian Horner and the Ferrari boss
[03:08.920 -> 03:11.260] and a few others have spoken out.
[03:11.260 -> 03:13.280] We're gonna look at Zac Brown admitting
[03:13.280 -> 03:15.300] that Daniel Ricciardo is not meeting
[03:15.300 -> 03:16.740] McLaren's expectations.
[03:16.740 -> 03:17.640] Zac Efron.
[03:17.640 -> 03:20.280] Zac Efron, yeah, Zac Efron said it.
[03:20.280 -> 03:21.600] We're gonna look at how much money
[03:21.600 -> 03:24.040] Formula One drivers actually get paid
[03:24.040 -> 03:25.480] and look at who makes the most. And then we're gonna finish at how much money Formula One drivers actually get paid and look at who makes the most
[03:25.480 -> 03:28.680] And then we're gonna finish off with a quiz
[03:28.680 -> 03:32.240] a quiz on the next Grand Prix
[03:32.360 -> 03:38.040] Another wonderful quiz on Baku and it's time for me to get quizzed and I know that you haven't done any
[03:38.040 -> 03:43.940] There is a moth on the sofa. Is there actually a moth? I don't like them. Fab hates moths. Is there actually a moth?
[03:43.940 -> 03:46.320] It's gone. Okay, that would be rather entertaining.
[03:46.320 -> 03:50.000] Yeah, I know you haven't had any time to research Baku at all,
[03:50.000 -> 03:53.920] so I feel like it'd be a great time to throw the Azerbaijan quiz on you right now.
[03:53.920 -> 03:54.320] Game.
[03:54.320 -> 03:55.920] But we'll get to it at the end of the episode.
[03:55.920 -> 03:58.880] Let's jump straight in with the main talking point.
[03:58.880 -> 04:01.040] Now, I don't know if people listening have seen this online.
[04:01.040 -> 04:03.120] Have you seen the clip of Sergio Perez in the corner?
[04:03.120 -> 04:05.160] This moth is by my foot, man.
[04:05.160 -> 04:06.160] Just squish it!
[04:06.160 -> 04:07.660] I ain't squishing it, I'll just get rid of it.
[04:07.660 -> 04:09.660] Now you've flipped it off, that's gonna come back to bite.
[04:09.660 -> 04:11.660] You're gonna wake up with moths all over you.
[04:11.660 -> 04:13.660] You know I hate them. Sorry, what were you getting at?
[04:13.660 -> 04:18.160] Have you seen the clip of Christian Horner and Sergio Perez that's been leaked?
[04:18.160 -> 04:21.660] I've heard rumours about it. I have not witnessed it with my own eyes.
[04:21.660 -> 04:29.640] So yesterday when they were celebrating caught on F1 TV there's a clip of Sergio Perez grabbing Christian obviously
[04:29.640 -> 04:34.880] unaware there's a mic over them and you hear Perez say I probably signed my
[04:34.880 -> 04:40.320] contract too early. Now I don't want to be the guy starting rumors but it's all
[04:40.320 -> 04:46.320] over the internet loads of people been talking about it. From that, it looks like Perez is saying,
[04:46.320 -> 04:47.360] I won the race.
[04:47.360 -> 04:49.600] Why did I sign my contract before I could have got more?
[04:49.600 -> 04:50.440] Kind of thing.
[04:50.440 -> 04:51.260] Like as a joke.
[04:51.260 -> 04:52.100] That's kind of where I'm going with it.
[04:52.100 -> 04:54.920] I was trying to wrap my head around it.
[04:54.920 -> 04:56.000] What he meant by that.
[04:56.000 -> 04:57.840] Yeah, I think that's where he's going with it
[04:57.840 -> 04:59.280] because he won the race, didn't he?
[04:59.280 -> 05:00.120] And then he's like,
[05:00.120 -> 05:01.880] Oh, I think I signed my contract too early.
[05:01.880 -> 05:03.040] Like could have got more
[05:03.040 -> 05:05.160] or could have got something more out of it.
[05:05.160 -> 05:07.120] I mean, I'm trying to look at other routes.
[05:07.120 -> 05:08.880] Can you think of anything else that could mean?
[05:08.880 -> 05:10.720] I think I signed my contract too early.
[05:10.720 -> 05:12.960] I don't know because I'm thinking like, well,
[05:12.960 -> 05:14.920] maybe he was hoping to go to a different team,
[05:14.920 -> 05:17.080] but where else would you want to be rather than Red Bull?
[05:17.080 -> 05:17.920] You wouldn't.
[05:17.920 -> 05:18.880] Yeah, and like his contract,
[05:18.880 -> 05:20.840] he wouldn't be meaning that he signed a contract
[05:20.840 -> 05:21.680] with someone else, would he?
[05:21.680 -> 05:23.840] And then be like, oh, I wish I didn't sign a contract
[05:23.840 -> 05:24.800] with someone else. Imagine if he did.
[05:24.800 -> 05:28.760] Cause it could be that, like, I don't want to speculate,
[05:28.760 -> 05:31.320] but imagine it was that, it was he signed with another team
[05:31.320 -> 05:32.440] and then he's gone to a Christian,
[05:32.440 -> 05:33.920] oh, I've signed my contract too early,
[05:33.920 -> 05:35.240] I wish I was staying.
[05:35.240 -> 05:36.120] Which would be great,
[05:36.120 -> 05:37.240] because then it would open up the door
[05:37.240 -> 05:38.600] for Alonzo to come in.
[05:38.600 -> 05:40.640] I'm trying to like figure out the benefits
[05:40.640 -> 05:43.540] to them not announcing he signed though.
[05:44.520 -> 05:47.080] Like I can't imagine why they wouldn't publicize it
[05:48.240 -> 05:54.440] Unless I'm completely missing something. I don't know whether I shouldn't whether they don't publicize in the middle of the season
[05:55.240 -> 05:56.280] but
[05:56.280 -> 05:59.520] What difference is it gonna make if they announce that you sign now or not? I?
[06:00.520 -> 06:05.400] Don't know. I guess you just don't want to release it too early just in case.
[06:05.400 -> 06:08.700] Like when did they, when did they announce George?
[06:08.700 -> 06:09.800] Like they had the deal signed.
[06:09.800 -> 06:11.400] Well they usually do at the beginning of the season don't they?
[06:11.400 -> 06:15.900] They had the deal signed and everything sorted before obviously they announced George was going to Mercedes.
[06:15.900 -> 06:20.300] Well maybe he's signed for Red Bull or maybe he's signed for someone else.
[06:20.300 -> 06:21.900] Someone completely different.
[06:21.900 -> 06:28.000] But that clip's been leaked and everyone has given their opinions on it so take from it what you want
[06:28.000 -> 06:30.840] well what are some other opinions that everyone's given well most people
[06:30.840 -> 06:34.360] believe it is the east side with Red Bull again because all the commentators
[06:34.360 -> 06:37.800] were talking about Begasley this weekend saying that they didn't feel he's gonna
[06:37.800 -> 06:41.840] go Red Bull and I'm not being funny Checo's been on fire
[06:41.840 -> 06:45.280] mmm like that if they can just control Checo and Verstappen,
[06:45.280 -> 06:48.000] they've got a perfect driver lineup going forward.
[06:48.000 -> 06:50.980] Yeah, I didn't realize that Checo's been in the game
[06:50.980 -> 06:52.200] for like 11 years now.
[06:52.200 -> 06:54.120] Yeah, but he's only done two seasons of Red Bull.
[06:54.120 -> 06:56.280] And he was at Force India for a long time before that.
[06:56.280 -> 06:58.840] But the guy has like some serious mileage
[06:58.840 -> 06:59.720] underneath his belt now.
[06:59.720 -> 07:01.520] Yeah, yeah, he does.
[07:01.520 -> 07:03.200] He's one to keep, I'd say.
[07:03.200 -> 07:04.760] This is the first time he's been in a car
[07:04.760 -> 07:07.400] that he can probably win races in.
[07:07.400 -> 07:11.520] I mean he's won races before being on the podium and done great but I think he'd be
[07:11.520 -> 07:14.480] desperate to stay at Red Bull as well.
[07:14.480 -> 07:17.640] That's why I think the contract probably does mean Red Bull.
[07:17.640 -> 07:20.520] Because if you were him you would want to stay there now, I think.
[07:20.520 -> 07:24.120] I don't think there's any other team that's anywhere near as appealing.
[07:24.120 -> 07:25.400] No, no, no, no, no.
[07:25.400 -> 07:26.900] He definitely wants to stay at Red Bull.
[07:26.900 -> 07:30.400] Yeah, and I watched a video of Max and Christian earlier on the Red Bulls.
[07:30.600 -> 07:33.700] Red Bull actually smash it to be fair on Oracle Red Bulls YouTube.
[07:33.700 -> 07:37.700] They had a funny video of Max Verstappen and Checo like doing challenges
[07:37.700 -> 07:40.500] and that they're picking these ducks out of pool and oh my god,
[07:40.500 -> 07:41.000] it was funny.
[07:41.000 -> 07:43.600] They've got a good vibe like Max and Christian actually.
[07:43.700 -> 07:45.800] Max, what are you staring at?
[07:45.800 -> 07:47.440] What are you staring at out the window?
[07:47.440 -> 07:51.100] There's someone getting changed in the flat opposite, look.
[07:51.100 -> 07:53.560] Oh yeah, there actually is, yo!
[07:53.560 -> 07:54.400] Can we just pause this pod quickly?
[07:54.400 -> 07:56.560] And the funny thing is, we've got the lights on,
[07:56.560 -> 07:58.160] like it looks like we're filming some kind of-
[07:58.160 -> 07:59.240] They are naked.
[07:59.240 -> 08:01.120] Mate.
[08:01.120 -> 08:02.840] Oh no, they actually fully are.
[08:02.840 -> 08:04.560] We've got all these lights on, this is crazy.
[08:04.560 -> 08:05.120] Wow, absolute madness. They've just turned around and they're looking this way. Mate oh no they actually fully are we've got these lights on this is great Wow absolutely
[08:06.480 -> 08:11.220] They've just turned around and they're looking this way, so let's just carry on talking
[08:12.080 -> 08:15.600] Yeah, let us know what you think about Sergio Perez send us a message on
[08:16.080 -> 08:20.220] Our Instagram at pit stop for those of you that subscribe to our YouTube when we told you about it
[08:20.220 -> 08:21.780] Thank you very much next up
[08:21.780 -> 08:27.640] We're gonna be looking at Christian Horner and him saying that the FIA need to up the budgets and he hasn't been the only team principal
[08:27.640 -> 08:32.520] to say this. He was one of the first to come out but ultimately they believe that they
[08:32.520 -> 08:38.040] haven't got enough money to even finish all the races this season. A lot of the team principals
[08:38.040 -> 08:43.160] have come out, up to seven teams have come out now and said that with inflation the budget
[08:43.160 -> 08:45.760] that has been allocated will not be enough.
[08:45.760 -> 08:49.360] They won't be able to maintain this whole season and complete all the races.
[08:49.360 -> 08:50.360] They won't be able to be there.
[08:50.360 -> 08:53.760] They won't be able to make changes and it's all due to inflation.
[08:53.760 -> 08:56.000] Do you know anything about that?
[08:56.000 -> 09:00.480] I know that I like milk has gone up like 30 pence.
[09:00.480 -> 09:03.080] The diesel to power my car has gone up loads.
[09:03.080 -> 09:05.540] I'm paying like £1.80 something.
[09:05.540 -> 09:06.540] That's a great example.
[09:06.540 -> 09:07.540] Look how much that's gone up.
[09:07.540 -> 09:09.160] It's almost gone up like a third.
[09:09.160 -> 09:10.160] It's ridiculous.
[09:10.160 -> 09:14.380] So if that's just one thing, imagine you're now Red Bull or Ferrari or Mercedes and you've
[09:14.380 -> 09:18.740] got thousands of employees that you have to pay for their travel, accommodation.
[09:18.740 -> 09:21.380] You have to pay, all of that comes out of the budget.
[09:21.380 -> 09:24.580] That overall budget pays all the staff, pays all the drivers.
[09:24.580 -> 09:26.640] And the spend cap was lowered this year right?
[09:26.640 -> 09:32.000] Yeah it's been lowered and it's been lowered so that everyone can stay within it but ultimately
[09:32.000 -> 09:36.800] this is where it gets tricky because bigger teams like Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren,
[09:36.800 -> 09:43.360] you know these bigger teams, yeah they have more staff, they genuinely probably do just
[09:43.360 -> 09:44.160] have more outgoings.
[09:44.160 -> 09:45.320] How funny would it be though,
[09:45.320 -> 09:46.880] if they got like halfway through the year
[09:46.880 -> 09:48.840] or like three quarters of the way through the year
[09:48.840 -> 09:51.720] and they had no more money to like do up the car.
[09:51.720 -> 09:52.560] No more money at all.
[09:52.560 -> 09:55.560] So there's like fucking bits of the car falling off.
[09:55.560 -> 09:57.280] They're like racing with no wing.
[09:57.280 -> 09:59.000] Like some of them have just got flat tires.
[09:59.000 -> 10:00.560] Like that's all we can do.
[10:00.560 -> 10:02.880] They're on like wets in the beaming sand.
[10:02.880 -> 10:04.040] They've got no more tires.
[10:04.040 -> 10:07.000] We ran out of slicks. Let's just chuck some of the wets on.
[10:07.000 -> 10:08.000] That would be quite funny.
[10:08.000 -> 10:10.000] It would be quite funny, but it looks like it could go that way.
[10:10.000 -> 10:16.000] The thing is, it's not just the teams, because obviously they can't put all their money into having a load of stuff.
[10:16.000 -> 10:23.000] Everything is inflation, like all the parts they need, just everything to do with the sport has inflated.
[10:23.000 -> 10:27.940] And basically the budget they currently have is $140 million per team.
[10:27.940 -> 10:29.500] And Christian Horner came out and said,
[10:29.500 -> 10:31.980] that's not enough, like we're gonna run out.
[10:31.980 -> 10:35.060] And then the Ferrari boss came out this weekend and agreed.
[10:35.060 -> 10:37.020] He said that he thinks there's seven teams
[10:37.020 -> 10:38.380] that would have to miss races
[10:38.380 -> 10:41.260] if the FIA don't up the budget cap.
[10:41.260 -> 10:44.060] They're looking for a 30% increase.
[10:44.060 -> 10:44.900] And the reason-
[10:44.900 -> 10:45.720] That's a big amount.
[10:45.720 -> 10:46.720] Yeah, it is a big amount,
[10:46.720 -> 10:48.200] but that's probably about the right,
[10:48.200 -> 10:49.920] about right for inflation.
[10:49.920 -> 10:52.120] To be honest, if they give the increase to every team,
[10:52.120 -> 10:53.960] I think it's fair.
[10:53.960 -> 10:56.840] But then the big issue is this, right?
[10:56.840 -> 11:00.260] There's penalties if you go over the budget cap,
[11:00.260 -> 11:02.680] but if you go over by 5%,
[11:02.680 -> 11:06.040] they like, will kind of could let you get away with it.
[11:06.040 -> 11:08.240] You have like a 5% leeway on your budget.
[11:08.240 -> 11:10.520] But the worry all the principals have
[11:10.520 -> 11:12.640] is that it's gonna get into that final 5%
[11:12.640 -> 11:14.560] and everyone's gonna be like playing a game of chicken
[11:14.560 -> 11:16.300] cause only one team would be fine.
[11:16.300 -> 11:17.140] So then it will be like,
[11:17.140 -> 11:18.760] oh, should we do that and spend that?
[11:18.760 -> 11:20.600] I think it depends how far they can get.
[11:20.600 -> 11:22.640] Like if they get like, you know,
[11:22.640 -> 11:24.200] the majority of the way through the year
[11:24.200 -> 11:28.040] and there's only a few races left, then let them struggle. Do you know what I mean? But if
[11:28.040 -> 11:32.880] they get like halfway through and every single team is like struggling, we haven't got enough
[11:32.880 -> 11:37.160] money, then they're going to have to make a change without penalties because it's not
[11:37.160 -> 11:42.560] on and you can't put it past the FIA really because did they know this was going to happen?
[11:42.560 -> 11:46.080] No, no, of course. Well, COVID is what's caused the inflation,
[11:46.080 -> 11:49.600] but that's why it should definitely be agreed to be more
[11:49.600 -> 11:51.520] because if it affects everyone,
[11:51.520 -> 11:53.480] and I look at like Williams
[11:53.480 -> 11:55.580] and they've crashed a lot of cars this season.
[11:55.580 -> 11:56.920] Well, specifically the Tifi.
[11:56.920 -> 11:58.560] I know we say, I talk about the Tifi a lot,
[11:58.560 -> 12:00.400] but he is a talking point.
[12:00.400 -> 12:02.800] A car is like $15 million,
[12:02.800 -> 12:06.000] like a full car if they have to do the whole car again.
[12:06.000 -> 12:11.000] You know, Haas, well Schumacher's wrote off two, that's 30 million dollars probably.
[12:11.000 -> 12:15.000] So, you can see how pretty easily you dig into that 140 million.
[12:15.000 -> 12:20.000] I mean, obviously, I don't know how that works, money-wise, but I could definitely see why they need more money.
[12:20.000 -> 12:24.000] Yeah, 140 million sounds like a lot, but I mean, really, it's not.
[12:24.000 -> 12:26.080] No, not in this sport, mate, it's a billion pound sport.
[12:26.080 -> 12:27.440] The sponsors of the teams...
[12:27.440 -> 12:29.920] I would even go as far to say trillion.
[12:29.920 -> 12:34.000] Yeah, overall, but I mean like each team is worth billions.
[12:34.000 -> 12:35.200] The deals for the teams...
[12:35.200 -> 12:36.080] Billion, trillion.
[12:36.080 -> 12:40.000] I reckon the deals for like a sponsor on a car will be like 140 million.
[12:40.000 -> 12:42.320] I reckon their whole season is paid for by their main sponsor.
[12:42.320 -> 12:46.400] I mean, I don't know specific details, but if it's anything like football,
[12:46.400 -> 12:48.400] I wouldn't be surprised whether like,
[12:48.400 -> 12:50.500] for example, like Oracle for Red Bull,
[12:50.500 -> 12:52.700] pays like their whole 140 million.
[12:52.700 -> 12:54.200] Like, because that's not even a lot.
[12:54.200 -> 12:55.200] That's something to dive into.
[12:55.200 -> 12:57.500] To be like the main sponsor on a car,
[12:57.500 -> 12:58.900] you know, to sponsor a football team,
[12:58.900 -> 13:00.500] you pay absolutely millions.
[13:00.500 -> 13:02.100] Yeah, they do have a lot of sponsors though.
[13:02.100 -> 13:03.000] Yeah, they do have a lot.
[13:03.000 -> 13:05.360] And then you have like a team like Ferrari, just picking one out of my head, do have a lot of sponsors though. Yeah, they do have a lot. And then you have like a team like Ferrari,
[13:05.360 -> 13:06.960] just picking one out of top of my head
[13:06.960 -> 13:09.440] who have like lots of sponsors and they're all big.
[13:09.440 -> 13:12.920] Shell, Ray-Ban and the rest of them.
[13:12.920 -> 13:14.760] They pay for like size on the car.
[13:14.760 -> 13:15.600] Well, you knew that,
[13:15.600 -> 13:17.680] but you were speaking to that person about it, weren't you?
[13:17.680 -> 13:19.040] You were speaking to someone that worked
[13:19.040 -> 13:21.600] at putting the branding on a car.
[13:21.600 -> 13:22.440] And they were saying,
[13:22.440 -> 13:23.560] cause I want to know whether you pay
[13:23.560 -> 13:25.740] for like a certain size on the car.
[13:25.740 -> 13:26.580] Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[13:26.580 -> 13:27.740] Do you get what I mean?
[13:27.740 -> 13:29.480] Yeah, maybe.
[13:29.480 -> 13:30.320] Like I wonder if you go,
[13:30.320 -> 13:31.680] well surely if you go with more money,
[13:31.680 -> 13:32.640] you get a better sponsor,
[13:32.640 -> 13:33.840] a better place on the car.
[13:33.840 -> 13:35.740] I wonder how many sponsors Haas have
[13:35.740 -> 13:36.840] in compared to everyone else.
[13:36.840 -> 13:38.160] I wonder how much our logo
[13:38.160 -> 13:40.540] in like a one centimeter sticker,
[13:40.540 -> 13:42.680] just to be stuck on one of the cars.
[13:42.680 -> 13:44.760] Just, yeah, just whack it somewhere.
[13:44.760 -> 13:45.840] I'm still convinced there's going to be like a pit stop branded cars. Yeah, just whack it somewhere. I'm still convinced there's going to be
[13:45.840 -> 13:47.640] like a Pitstop branded car.
[13:47.640 -> 13:48.480] Are you?
[13:48.480 -> 13:49.400] All matte black.
[13:49.400 -> 13:50.220] Could it be us?
[13:50.220 -> 13:51.060] And matte as well,
[13:51.060 -> 13:52.560] because what did someone tell us?
[13:52.560 -> 13:54.640] Why they're painted matte?
[13:54.640 -> 13:57.940] Because they look, no, yeah, they look better on TV.
[13:57.940 -> 13:58.780] Yeah.
[13:58.780 -> 13:59.600] Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
[13:59.600 -> 14:00.440] Ferrari were telling us
[14:00.440 -> 14:02.040] that they've gone for a more matte finish
[14:02.040 -> 14:04.140] because one, they look better at night
[14:04.140 -> 14:05.620] and two, they look better on TV.
[14:05.620 -> 14:07.140] Yeah, and they were saying that the reason
[14:07.140 -> 14:09.100] you see more black appear on the car every week
[14:09.100 -> 14:10.420] is because they're just stripping the paint off.
[14:10.420 -> 14:11.420] Yeah, taking the paint off.
[14:11.420 -> 14:12.920] That's why Williams is like mainly black
[14:12.920 -> 14:15.340] because they try their best to fucking make the speed up.
[14:15.340 -> 14:17.340] I never ever thought paint would be heavy,
[14:17.340 -> 14:19.380] but yeah, all these teams are stripping the paint back
[14:19.380 -> 14:20.220] week by week.
[14:20.220 -> 14:22.220] Mate, everything, everything adds up.
[14:22.220 -> 14:24.340] It's going to end up, they're just like shells
[14:24.340 -> 14:25.840] of like no branding. It's just a seat up, they're just like shells of like no brand.
[14:25.840 -> 14:28.560] It's just a seat with an engine strapped to the back of it.
[14:28.560 -> 14:30.240] How heavy do you think a Formula One car is?
[14:30.240 -> 14:32.400] Do you reckon if there was a Formula One car in front of you,
[14:32.400 -> 14:34.040] you could walk up to it and pick it up?
[14:34.040 -> 14:35.240] You can.
[14:35.240 -> 14:36.520] What, do you reckon like I could?
[14:36.520 -> 14:37.520] I'm not very strong.
[14:37.520 -> 14:39.960] From the back, you could lift the back up, I reckon, yeah.
[14:39.960 -> 14:40.800] Really?
[14:40.800 -> 14:42.440] What, they're that light?
[14:42.440 -> 14:44.400] I reckon they're fairly light, yeah.
[14:44.400 -> 14:45.440] I've never really thought about it.
[14:45.440 -> 14:47.360] I've always imagined them to be pretty heavy.
[14:47.360 -> 14:50.240] I think my car is like just under a ton, maybe.
[14:50.240 -> 14:51.760] Yeah, but we couldn't lift your car up.
[14:51.760 -> 14:52.680] Absolutely not.
[14:52.680 -> 14:55.520] But like a Formula One car, I don't know.
[14:55.520 -> 14:57.560] We should, the next time we see one,
[14:57.560 -> 14:58.720] wherever we go at a race,
[14:58.720 -> 15:00.200] let's just run over and try and pick it up.
[15:00.200 -> 15:03.440] I'm gonna do live Googling right now.
[15:03.440 -> 15:05.200] Should I take a guess in like kilograms?
[15:05.200 -> 15:05.700] Yeah.
[15:05.700 -> 15:07.120] So I know what I weigh.
[15:07.120 -> 15:09.760] I reckon a Formula One car is like...
[15:10.720 -> 15:12.880] I reckon like 240 kilograms.
[15:13.600 -> 15:14.720] What are you joking?
[15:14.720 -> 15:16.080] Is it way more than that?
[15:16.080 -> 15:18.880] I'm like near... I'm like 80 kilos.
[15:18.880 -> 15:22.240] Yeah, but if you could pick it up, I couldn't probably pick up two of me.
[15:22.960 -> 15:25.700] Yeah, but I weigh like in comparison to a car,
[15:25.700 -> 15:27.620] like maybe the engine weighs as much as me.
[15:27.620 -> 15:29.240] Oh really, how much is it?
[15:29.240 -> 15:32.860] It is, while the entire F1 car should weigh
[15:32.860 -> 15:35.620] no less than 798 kilograms.
[15:35.620 -> 15:36.980] Okay, I'm a bit far off then.
[15:36.980 -> 15:39.100] The heaviest part of a Formula One car is the engine,
[15:39.100 -> 15:41.780] which must weigh a minimum of 150 kilos.
[15:41.780 -> 15:43.340] Wow, the engine weighs more than I thought.
[15:43.340 -> 15:51.200] That's mad, so the engine weighs more than us. Madness. That is mad. Fuel maximum 110 kilos. So I wonder whether
[15:51.200 -> 15:55.840] they're gonna aim to reduce I mean I'm not a technical guy but I wonder if you
[15:55.840 -> 16:00.760] can get the engine lighter. It seems a little heavy for an engine. There's minimums and
[16:00.760 -> 16:06.500] maximums. Is there? Yeah. Well that's the thing and there's limits and regulations isn't there?
[16:06.500 -> 16:11.000] As we learn more, eventually we'll be able to speak about that, but you're all coming on the journey with us.
[16:11.000 -> 16:13.000] Let's move on to Zac Brown.
[16:13.000 -> 16:13.500] Zac Efron.
[16:13.500 -> 16:15.500] Zac Efron, let's move on to Zac Efron, yeah.
[16:15.500 -> 16:18.000] You get the best of both worlds.
[16:18.000 -> 16:20.000] Is that a Zac Efron song?
[16:20.000 -> 16:21.000] That's Adam Montana my friend.
[16:21.000 -> 16:21.500] Ah.
[16:21.500 -> 16:22.500] Close.
[16:22.500 -> 16:25.160] We spoke about Daniel Ricciardo in the last episode.
[16:25.160 -> 16:27.080] You went in hard on him and said that you think
[16:27.080 -> 16:28.680] Fernando Alonso is going to replace him.
[16:28.680 -> 16:29.880] No one agrees with you.
[16:29.880 -> 16:30.840] Yep. I don't care.
[16:30.840 -> 16:31.840] Absolutely no one.
[16:31.840 -> 16:33.680] What? You mean no one when you mean everyone
[16:33.680 -> 16:34.760] in the TikTok comments?
[16:34.760 -> 16:36.840] You guys on TikTok don't know anything either.
[16:36.840 -> 16:38.640] So there you go.
[16:38.640 -> 16:40.600] Fab, I know you know a lot more than us.
[16:40.600 -> 16:41.880] Don't think so.
[16:41.880 -> 16:44.240] Did you actually know he was at McLaren before?
[16:44.240 -> 16:45.120] Who?
[16:45.120 -> 16:45.960] Alonzo.
[16:46.880 -> 16:48.640] Back in day, yeah.
[16:48.640 -> 16:49.480] Yeah, cause someone was like,
[16:49.480 -> 16:50.640] he won't go back to McLaren.
[16:50.640 -> 16:51.680] I was like, I don't even think
[16:51.680 -> 16:53.600] I've known he was ever at McLaren.
[16:53.600 -> 16:54.480] When they were like silver
[16:54.480 -> 16:56.320] and they looked like they had the...
[16:56.320 -> 16:57.520] Vodafone sponsor.
[16:57.520 -> 16:58.360] Oh really?
[16:58.360 -> 16:59.200] Nice, yo!
[16:59.200 -> 17:01.640] I'm taking a wild guess there.
[17:01.640 -> 17:03.360] I hope he was actually at McLaren.
[17:03.360 -> 17:04.200] I could have read the comment wrong.
[17:04.200 -> 17:05.760] That was Mercedes. Yeah, so we spoke about have read the comment wrong. That was Mercedes.
[17:05.760 -> 17:07.720] Yeah, so we spoke about in the other week.
[17:07.720 -> 17:09.600] Well, yeah, the last episode.
[17:09.600 -> 17:10.640] And we love Riccardo.
[17:10.640 -> 17:11.800] Let's not get this twisted.
[17:11.800 -> 17:13.800] He's one of the dream guests for the podcast.
[17:13.800 -> 17:14.680] He's an amazing guy.
[17:14.680 -> 17:16.480] And he clearly has had a good F1 career.
[17:16.480 -> 17:19.240] Like he's won races, he's been up there.
[17:19.240 -> 17:21.440] He's never won a championship.
[17:21.440 -> 17:23.240] We don't know much about him.
[17:23.240 -> 17:25.000] Coming at it from a new point of view
[17:25.000 -> 17:30.320] and now Zac Brown came out this weekend on Any Driven Monday with Naomi and Matt
[17:30.320 -> 17:36.080] yeah live and said basically that Daniel Ricciardo was underperforming and
[17:36.080 -> 17:41.680] not meeting McLaren's expectations which is kind of crazy man like this sport is
[17:41.680 -> 17:44.760] team morale you think that's crazy I think I think that's spot on I think
[17:44.760 -> 17:45.600] everyone knows it yeah but you shouldn't say that publicly this is team morale. You think that's crazy? I think that's spot on. I think everyone knows it.
[17:45.600 -> 17:50.400] Yeah but you shouldn't say that publicly. This is team morale. He's there till the end of the season.
[17:50.400 -> 17:56.600] If McLaren want him to perform this year, they can't be going out publicly. You'd never see that in any sport.
[17:56.600 -> 18:01.800] This is a cutthroat sport man. But they won't replace him. Everyone knows that he's underperforming.
[18:01.800 -> 18:07.220] But they won't replace him mid-season. It's a terrible decision to make with 15 races left or 16 races left
[18:07.360 -> 18:12.080] Yeah, but they would have had this chat internally a million times. Yeah, well he definitely knows he's underperforming
[18:12.080 -> 18:15.920] Ricardo knows it, everyone knows it. I feel like
[18:16.760 -> 18:23.080] It's just the obvious I guess. I just think it's really harsh to come out and say that publicly at team boss and also
[18:23.320 -> 18:25.220] There was that radio clip.
[18:25.220 -> 18:27.180] Now, apparently they couldn't see the car,
[18:27.180 -> 18:29.580] but did you see it when Ricardo crashed?
[18:29.580 -> 18:31.700] And then the boss radio straight in and it was like,
[18:31.700 -> 18:32.780] is the car okay?
[18:32.780 -> 18:33.840] Yeah.
[18:33.840 -> 18:34.680] Yeah.
[18:34.680 -> 18:35.500] That's harsh.
[18:35.500 -> 18:36.980] And he just replied, I'm okay.
[18:36.980 -> 18:37.800] Yeah.
[18:37.800 -> 18:39.660] Now I know that they're saying there was like an
[18:39.660 -> 18:41.980] investigation after in-house and they said that they did
[18:41.980 -> 18:44.620] couldn't see the car on their screen yet.
[18:44.620 -> 18:47.560] So it give them the benefit of the doubt, adult but either way like you just put one and
[18:47.560 -> 18:51.400] two together. I think it should be the flip opposite I think if they had seen the crash
[18:51.400 -> 18:56.520] and known that it wasn't that bad then maybe you would know that Daniel was
[18:56.520 -> 18:59.400] all right and you would ask if the car was okay but if you hadn't seen the
[18:59.400 -> 19:03.320] crash you hadn't seen the car and you have just heard that there's been a
[19:03.320 -> 19:06.080] crash the first thing that I would be like Daniel you were right
[19:06.080 -> 19:09.440] I'm not even sure if they knew it crashed though or whether they just saw
[19:09.440 -> 19:13.600] like a red flag and saw him out or so I'm not sure I'll give them the benefit
[19:13.600 -> 19:16.240] of doubt because I did see something that summed all that up for me but I'm
[19:16.240 -> 19:19.040] just saying like you put one and two together it doesn't look like
[19:19.040 -> 19:22.160] Riccardo and McLaren is going very swimmingly at the moment does it
[19:22.160 -> 19:28.080] definitely not so I question. I question his future because if Ricardo doesn't do well
[19:29.680 -> 19:32.220] in McLaren for the rest of this year,
[19:32.220 -> 19:35.560] I don't know if I really see him hopping to another team.
[19:35.560 -> 19:39.240] I feel like I might just see him not in F1 anymore.
[19:39.240 -> 19:40.440] Really?
[19:40.440 -> 19:41.280] Yeah.
[19:41.280 -> 19:44.440] I mean, when we spoke to Oli, he was like,
[19:44.440 -> 19:45.720] the dream is F1, but there's so many more avenues. And there is like, I mean, when we spoke to Ollie, he was like, the dream is F1,
[19:45.720 -> 19:47.720] but there's so many more avenues.
[19:47.720 -> 19:49.280] And there is, like, I mean,
[19:49.280 -> 19:50.520] and when we spoke to Jack Aitken,
[19:50.520 -> 19:52.720] he's doing like 24 hours in Le Mans,
[19:52.720 -> 19:55.080] he's doing IndyCar, he's doing all these other things.
[19:55.080 -> 19:57.800] Like F1 is the dream for a lot of drivers,
[19:57.800 -> 19:59.000] but it's not the end.
[19:59.000 -> 20:01.200] No, oh yeah, gotcha, there's so many avenues.
[20:01.200 -> 20:04.120] Did you see the clip of when Ricardo was in America
[20:04.120 -> 20:06.760] and he had like the Tash and he was driving the, like the NASCARs and that? Yeah, yeah. He was having so many avenues. I like, did you see the clip of when Ricardo was in America and he had like the Tash and he was driving the,
[20:06.760 -> 20:07.880] like the NASCARs and that?
[20:07.880 -> 20:08.720] Yeah, yeah.
[20:08.720 -> 20:09.560] He was having so much fun.
[20:09.560 -> 20:12.640] So like, you know, if the end of the year
[20:12.640 -> 20:14.840] is the end of the road for Ricardo,
[20:14.840 -> 20:16.700] I don't think it's a bad thing.
[20:16.700 -> 20:18.720] I think he can have so much more.
[20:18.720 -> 20:20.040] I feel like he may be,
[20:20.040 -> 20:23.360] he'll have a new lease of life in another motor sport.
[20:23.360 -> 20:25.520] The thought of no Ricardociardo though is sad.
[20:25.520 -> 20:28.560] Like he's an entertainer, he's so good for the sport.
[20:28.560 -> 20:33.560] I think Ricciardo not being in a stable mental place is sad.
[20:35.420 -> 20:39.280] I think Ricciardo should do whatever makes him happy.
[20:39.280 -> 20:42.080] And if he's not happy in the way that he's performing
[20:42.080 -> 20:43.440] in Formula One at the minute,
[20:43.440 -> 20:48.360] then he should just do what makes him happy. Go and try something else. We'll see maybe
[20:48.360 -> 20:53.400] it'll end up staying who knows. I hope he's I hope he's yeah I do as well I hope but I can see
[20:53.400 -> 20:59.600] what you're saying he's a great advocate for the sport. I mean it won't be Alonso but I can see what you're saying. I can't wait till Alonso joins McLaren.
[20:59.600 -> 21:04.320] There's absolutely no way Alonso joins McLaren if he does I want you to clip every single time I've
[21:04.320 -> 21:06.000] said it put it together maybe they're like a mug. It's never gonna happen. If Alonso joins McLaren. If he does I want you to clip every single time I've said it, put it together, make me look like a mug.
[21:06.000 -> 21:08.000] It's just never gonna happen.
[21:08.000 -> 21:12.000] If Alonso goes to McLaren, I get Alonso tatted across my back.
[21:12.000 -> 21:14.000] You wouldn't dare.
[21:14.000 -> 21:16.000] With a McLaren on the bottom.
[21:16.000 -> 21:18.000] Clip that. Clip that.
[21:18.000 -> 21:20.000] That would be hilarious man.
[21:20.000 -> 21:22.000] There's gonna be a big switch up, without a doubt.
[21:22.000 -> 21:26.960] We're gonna see, I think, either mid-season here where we'll probably see a driver come in but I definitely think end of the
[21:26.960 -> 21:30.840] year you'll see more drivers come in and take places than I ever before.
[21:30.840 -> 21:36.460] I hope, that would be really really cool. Maybe like four, maybe like four new
[21:36.460 -> 21:40.680] drivers? So imagine this right, imagine if like throughout the season you still
[21:40.680 -> 21:43.840] have the standings but then imagine there's like another leaderboard yeah
[21:43.840 -> 21:46.060] which adds up points like I guess it'd be like the standings, but then imagine there's like another leaderboard year, which adds up points.
[21:46.060 -> 21:48.120] Like, I guess it'd be like the driver standing still,
[21:48.120 -> 21:51.000] but if like certain drivers didn't meet the minimum
[21:51.000 -> 21:56.000] requirement points, like by halfway through the year,
[21:56.520 -> 21:58.200] then you're immediately out.
[21:58.200 -> 22:01.400] Well, mate, this is, this was, this, what you say,
[22:01.400 -> 22:03.240] it's like how I, what I thought about,
[22:03.240 -> 22:06.080] if someone said to me, how would I change Formula One?
[22:06.080 -> 22:08.700] Like my ultimate thing, which was ridiculous, as I said,
[22:08.700 -> 22:11.240] imagine it was a draft and like all 20 drivers
[22:11.240 -> 22:14.320] got put into a pot and then you got stuck
[22:14.320 -> 22:15.480] with a random teammate.
[22:15.480 -> 22:17.040] Like they pulled out your teammate at the beginning of the
[22:17.040 -> 22:17.880] year, that was who you're with,
[22:17.880 -> 22:19.160] and then you get put with a team.
[22:19.160 -> 22:22.840] But the F2 team's coming up and more teams can buy in,
[22:22.840 -> 22:24.400] but then it becomes a championship
[22:24.400 -> 22:26.400] and the bottom three teams get relegated
[22:26.800 -> 22:32.240] Which would be very similar and then like F2 would become like another Formula One, but you'd have to get promoted
[22:32.800 -> 22:34.720] And that would be very similar
[22:34.720 -> 22:36.640] Yeah, yeah, they could they could do it like that
[22:36.640 -> 22:40.640] But realistically that does happen the people that don't get any points or do well do get
[22:40.640 -> 22:44.080] But then when you think about it, it'd be quite sad because like Mick's probably gone
[22:46.040 -> 22:47.600] Latifi's gone, which isn't that sad
[22:47.600 -> 22:50.600] Joe could be gone like his rookie year
[22:50.600 -> 22:51.920] he wouldn't even get six months into his
[22:51.920 -> 22:53.480] rookie year do you know what I mean? I think he's not
[22:53.480 -> 22:55.480] having a bad rookie year true yeah true
[22:55.480 -> 22:57.000] yeah it's a difficult one
[22:57.000 -> 22:59.640] Gasly will probably be gone mmm as we get
[22:59.640 -> 23:00.880] further through the season we'll
[23:00.880 -> 23:02.360] definitely keep updating on who we
[23:02.360 -> 23:04.000] think will go where and what we can find
[23:04.000 -> 23:06.560] out I mean you can take our word for it if you want,
[23:06.560 -> 23:09.040] but your guess is probably as good as ours.
[23:09.040 -> 23:09.880] Alonso.
[23:09.880 -> 23:10.720] Yeah.
[23:10.720 -> 23:11.720] For the win the championship.
[23:11.720 -> 23:12.720] Whilst we're on the topic of that.
[23:12.720 -> 23:14.000] Every year for the next 10 years.
[23:14.000 -> 23:15.560] He's not going to be here next season, mate.
[23:15.560 -> 23:16.680] Whilst we're on the topic of that.
[23:16.680 -> 23:18.000] You are so wrong!
[23:18.000 -> 23:18.840] Oh no!
[23:18.840 -> 23:19.680] My friend.
[23:19.680 -> 23:21.520] Everyone else agrees with me.
[23:21.520 -> 23:22.840] I don't care, honestly.
[23:22.840 -> 23:24.040] I don't care what people on TikTok say.
[23:24.040 -> 23:28.760] One comment said, and it got a few likes, someone said that Alonso could go to Mercedes and
[23:28.760 -> 23:29.760] replace Hammond.
[23:29.760 -> 23:31.360] Someone a few people agree with that.
[23:31.360 -> 23:32.360] I've said this too.
[23:32.360 -> 23:36.340] Yeah I know you have but that's not going to happen either this is his last season in
[23:36.340 -> 23:37.340] my opinion.
[23:37.340 -> 23:42.480] But once we're on the topic we can look at which Formula One drivers make the most money.
[23:42.480 -> 23:47.600] Now this is fascinating and please bear in mind everywhere online is different, like
[23:47.600 -> 23:51.920] out to a million, so I've took like the average off like five websites of what people say
[23:51.920 -> 23:52.920] because I don't have the exact figures.
[23:52.920 -> 23:55.880] Are you just going based off just their like standard wage?
[23:55.880 -> 23:58.120] Yeah, so this is what they earn per year.
[23:58.120 -> 24:00.840] Now the reason I want to go through this- You're not factoring in sponsors?
[24:00.840 -> 24:03.760] No, no, this is like their wage from the team.
[24:03.760 -> 24:08.360] So this is coming out of that 140 million budget cap the first thing I want to say straight away is
[24:08.360 -> 24:13.800] that Daniel Ricciardo makes more money than Charles Leclerc. Wow. So already
[24:13.800 -> 24:19.240] we're gonna see why they might be thinking shit. Yeah. Like come on
[24:19.240 -> 24:24.160] Ferrari, Daniel Ricciardo actually makes three million a year more than Charles
[24:24.160 -> 24:25.140] Leclerc. Dang. But Sebastian Vettel also makes more than Charles Leclerc. Dang.
[24:25.140 -> 24:28.480] But, Sebastian Vettel also makes more than Charles Leclerc.
[24:28.480 -> 24:28.980] I get that.
[24:28.980 -> 24:31.160] Lando Norris makes more than Charles Leclerc.
[24:31.160 -> 24:33.280] Fernando Alonso makes more than Charles Leclerc.
[24:33.280 -> 24:34.180] I completely get that.
[24:34.180 -> 24:35.800] Yeah, I thought you might get that.
[24:35.800 -> 24:38.260] But Ferrari drivers aren't paid loads.
[24:38.260 -> 24:40.260] Like Lance Stroll makes more than Carlos Sainz,
[24:40.260 -> 24:43.360] but obviously Lance Stroll is gonna make more than Carlos Sainz
[24:43.360 -> 24:45.400] because Lance Stroll can do whatever he wants, that's mine.
[24:45.400 -> 24:46.800] Dad, can you just bump it up a little bit, please?
[24:46.800 -> 24:50.400] Valtteri Bottas makes more than Sergio Perez,
[24:50.400 -> 24:52.900] which is at Alfa Romeo.
[24:52.900 -> 24:55.900] But, if Sergio Perez has agreed a new deal...
[24:55.900 -> 24:57.400] Was that definitely at Alfa, yeah?
[24:57.400 -> 24:59.400] Yeah, yeah, this is this year.
[24:59.400 -> 25:02.600] Well, no, this year, this is interesting.
[25:02.600 -> 25:09.360] Guess where George Russell is? On the new deal with Mercedes, where do you think he ranks on the pay sheet?
[25:09.360 -> 25:11.400] Out of the 20 drivers?
[25:11.400 -> 25:16.160] In the top third, but not max, not like lots, lots, lots.
[25:16.160 -> 25:17.160] Yeah, it's crazy.
[25:17.160 -> 25:23.640] I feel like you go with Mercedes, they give you a warm deal, but as he's new, it's not
[25:23.640 -> 25:25.000] going to be as toasty.
[25:26.360 -> 25:28.560] Nate, he's only just above the rookie numbers.
[25:28.560 -> 25:29.560] He's right at the bottom.
[25:29.560 -> 25:30.400] Really?
[25:30.400 -> 25:31.560] Yeah, so you have four drivers,
[25:31.560 -> 25:33.320] which are like the new rookies
[25:33.320 -> 25:36.240] and the ones that don't necessarily
[25:36.240 -> 25:37.520] get that many points yet.
[25:37.520 -> 25:40.960] So you have Latifi, Sonoda, Joe.
[25:40.960 -> 25:42.960] What does Latifi get, like a fucking cheese sandwich
[25:42.960 -> 25:43.800] and a bottle of milk?
[25:43.800 -> 25:44.920] It's 800 grand a year, mate.
[25:44.920 -> 25:45.720] 800 grand a year. That's still a lot of money. It's 800 grand a year, mate. 800 grand a year.
[25:45.720 -> 25:46.540] That's still a lot, mate.
[25:46.540 -> 25:47.380] It's not bad, is it?
[25:47.380 -> 25:48.320] It's fucking loads.
[25:48.320 -> 25:50.200] And then that's like the lower level.
[25:50.200 -> 25:52.200] And then the next step up is Albon, 1.6.
[25:52.200 -> 25:54.400] I'd happily crash the car every week
[25:54.400 -> 25:56.000] for 800 grand a year.
[25:56.000 -> 25:58.200] I'd do it for free just to be on TV.
[25:58.200 -> 26:00.040] Then you have three drivers on 4 million.
[26:00.040 -> 26:01.400] And this is where Russell is.
[26:01.400 -> 26:04.080] He's in the same bracket as Ocon and Gasly.
[26:04.080 -> 26:06.240] All three of them are on 4 million a year.
[26:06.240 -> 26:09.480] And then it goes up to Magnussen, who's on 4.8.
[26:09.480 -> 26:10.320] Perez on 6.4.
[26:10.320 -> 26:11.160] What?
[26:11.160 -> 26:12.280] Magnussen's on 4.8?
[26:12.280 -> 26:13.720] Yeah, go Magnussen.
[26:13.720 -> 26:16.120] He's stepped straight in and got more than Russell.
[26:16.120 -> 26:18.040] Have you said what Mick Schumacher is yet?
[26:18.040 -> 26:19.400] Guess.
[26:19.400 -> 26:20.240] Yeah, I've said what Mick is.
[26:20.240 -> 26:21.080] He's in the lower one.
[26:21.080 -> 26:22.400] He earns 800,000.
[26:22.400 -> 26:23.240] Okay.
[26:23.240 -> 26:24.080] Yeah, he's a bit lower.
[26:24.080 -> 26:24.900] Wow, and Magnussen's on 4.8.
[26:24.900 -> 26:28.240] Mate, Magnussen only just makes less than Perez.
[26:28.240 -> 26:29.440] How accurate is this?
[26:29.440 -> 26:30.280] Very accurate.
[26:30.280 -> 26:31.760] I took it across every single site,
[26:31.760 -> 26:33.280] and it's right, because Hamilton makes the most,
[26:33.280 -> 26:34.740] Verstappen makes second most.
[26:34.740 -> 26:36.600] But Verstappen's new bumper deal is huge.
[26:36.600 -> 26:39.240] Like, Verstappen and Hamilton make similar amounts now.
[26:39.240 -> 26:40.200] He's got a bumper car.
[26:40.200 -> 26:41.680] Yeah, he's got a bumper car.
[26:41.680 -> 26:44.560] Fernando Alonso is the third highest person
[26:44.560 -> 26:46.040] on the whole grid.
[26:46.040 -> 26:47.960] Of course he is, man.
[26:47.960 -> 26:49.600] I don't know why you doubt him so much.
[26:49.600 -> 26:51.400] Bro, he's 40 years old.
[26:51.400 -> 26:52.220] So?
[26:52.220 -> 26:53.720] He is not gonna be in Formula One next season.
[26:53.720 -> 26:55.080] How old is Lewis Hamilton?
[26:55.080 -> 26:55.920] Guess.
[26:55.920 -> 26:56.740] 36?
[26:56.740 -> 26:57.840] No, 37.
[26:57.840 -> 26:59.960] 37, so he's three years older than Lewis Hamilton.
[26:59.960 -> 27:02.240] Lewis Hamilton could do another three years.
[27:02.240 -> 27:03.560] Yeah, so could Alonso.
[27:03.560 -> 27:05.280] This is good, we should have a bet between us because you're gonna really start to piss me off. Mate, Alonso, years. Yeah, so could Alonso. This is good, we should have a bet between us
[27:05.280 -> 27:07.200] because you're going to really start to piss me off.
[27:07.200 -> 27:10.040] Mate, Alonso, you don't know enough about Alonso.
[27:10.040 -> 27:12.120] Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sure I don't.
[27:12.120 -> 27:14.360] You really don't, you don't know anything about Alonso.
[27:14.360 -> 27:16.480] Do you think Alonso is worthy on this current grid
[27:16.480 -> 27:18.400] to be the third highest paid driver?
[27:18.400 -> 27:19.240] Yeah.
[27:19.240 -> 27:20.160] In an Alpine?
[27:20.160 -> 27:21.920] Yeah, maybe not in an Alpine.
[27:21.920 -> 27:24.520] Do you think Leclerc should earn more than Ricciardo?
[27:25.000 -> 27:26.200] Probably by the end of this season, Yeah, maybe not in Alpine. Do you think Leclerc should earn more than Ricciardo? Er...
[27:28.120 -> 27:30.320] Probably by the end of the season I'd say yes.
[27:30.320 -> 27:32.680] Yeah mate, there's some questionable budgets here.
[27:32.680 -> 27:36.000] But then it must be hard for these teams, right, to bring in a top driver.
[27:36.600 -> 27:39.800] You probably do have to like throw a shit ton of money at someone.
[27:40.160 -> 27:44.040] Like I reckon Alpine had to put Alonso on a massive deal to get him.
[27:44.760 -> 27:48.000] Same with Alfa Romeo and Bottas. That's why Bottas is earning so much.
[27:48.000 -> 27:49.000] Bottas is doing well.
[27:49.000 -> 27:55.000] But Russell, yeah, the best performing driver across all the races points wise, finishing every race.
[27:55.000 -> 27:57.000] And I'm only paying him for, so...
[27:57.000 -> 28:01.000] I say only, man. The shit I do for four million a year.
[28:01.000 -> 28:03.000] Then you compare it to football players.
[28:03.000 -> 28:08.040] Yeah, but not all football players make absolutely loads.
[28:08.040 -> 28:09.160] Actually, no, you're dead right.
[28:09.160 -> 28:10.000] Yeah, you're dead right.
[28:10.000 -> 28:10.820] There's players in the Premier League
[28:10.820 -> 28:12.640] that are on like 20, 30 grand a week,
[28:12.640 -> 28:14.160] but what does that accumulate as?
[28:14.160 -> 28:15.880] That's like 100 grand a month.
[28:15.880 -> 28:18.620] That's like 100 grand a month, like 1.2 million a year.
[28:18.620 -> 28:19.960] The average Premier League wage
[28:19.960 -> 28:22.840] will probably be like one to two million a year.
[28:22.840 -> 28:23.960] I suppose there's people like Messi
[28:23.960 -> 28:30.120] who are on like 30 million a year or something or something. Wasn't Neymar at Barcelona? Yeah, he was. Or was
[28:30.120 -> 28:34.920] it Bamiyang? No, Neymar. No, no, Bamiyang was there as well. And Dembele and loads of
[28:34.920 -> 28:38.800] the Barcelona players, they were there. We was walking through the paddock and Jake and
[28:38.800 -> 28:42.560] this other guy, Yanny Ueve, was like, oh my god, look who it is, look who it is. And I'm
[28:42.560 -> 28:46.000] just seeing like random guys who had got nice shoes on, do you know what I mean?
[28:46.000 -> 28:46.960] I'm like, who are these guys?
[28:46.960 -> 28:47.800] I was so amazed.
[28:47.800 -> 28:49.200] And they're all like Premier League football players.
[28:49.200 -> 28:51.400] I'm like, wow, it's funny how-
[28:51.400 -> 28:52.240] They're what?
[28:52.240 -> 28:53.140] They're what?
[28:53.140 -> 28:53.980] Huh?
[28:53.980 -> 28:54.800] They're what?
[28:54.800 -> 28:55.640] Premier League football players?
[28:55.640 -> 28:56.480] Fuck's sake.
[28:56.480 -> 28:58.200] Mate, I don't know.
[28:58.200 -> 29:00.040] They had colorful Yeezys on.
[29:00.040 -> 29:01.640] Fair play, Bami Young was in the Premier League
[29:01.640 -> 29:02.480] not long ago.
[29:02.480 -> 29:03.520] But isn't that funny?
[29:03.520 -> 29:06.560] Like how it's all about perspective.
[29:06.560 -> 29:09.040] Like these guys to me are just other people.
[29:09.040 -> 29:09.880] Yeah.
[29:09.880 -> 29:12.400] Like just flesh and bone.
[29:12.400 -> 29:14.760] And like, hello, nice to meet you anyway.
[29:14.760 -> 29:15.800] You wouldn't even know who they are, would you?
[29:15.800 -> 29:17.480] Off you trot, see you later.
[29:17.480 -> 29:18.400] Let me do my thing.
[29:18.400 -> 29:20.400] Whereas like, again, if it was me
[29:20.400 -> 29:23.040] and there was like a musician walking past,
[29:23.040 -> 29:24.640] I'd be like, holy shit.
[29:24.640 -> 29:25.280] Yeah. It's bloody, it's Enrique Igles musician walking past, I'd be like, holy shit.
[29:25.280 -> 29:27.840] It's bloody, it's Enrique Iglesias.
[29:27.840 -> 29:29.280] No, I do get it.
[29:29.280 -> 29:32.080] I didn't ask for photos, I felt bad because we were in the paddock.
[29:32.080 -> 29:34.080] I was like, I can't throw a camera in their face.
[29:34.080 -> 29:35.080] Yeah, I know.
[29:35.080 -> 29:36.080] But I would have loved a photo.
[29:36.080 -> 29:38.960] But anyway, let's roll the music, let's give you a break.
[29:38.960 -> 29:57.320] And when we're back, we're going to have a quiz on the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Welcome back to the final part of the Pit Stop podcast for today's episode. This is
[29:57.320 -> 30:02.080] all about Baku, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. It isn't this weekend, it's next weekend.
[30:02.080 -> 30:06.000] And I should warn you now, Fab, do you know anything about Azerbaijan?
[30:06.000 -> 30:12.000] Out of all the tracks on the calendar this year, Baku, I know nothing.
[30:12.000 -> 30:16.000] I was saying this earlier when you were playing on the game, I know nothing about this track either.
[30:16.000 -> 30:21.000] Zero. So this quiz is probably going to be lots of no response.
[30:21.000 -> 30:23.000] Yeah, well I've done everything multiple choice.
[30:23.000 -> 30:24.000] Oh, much better.
[30:24.000 -> 30:25.000] I thought that would be a
[30:25.000 -> 30:28.720] lot more fun for everyone playing along. Much better. I mean admittedly I'm asking these
[30:28.720 -> 30:32.400] questions but I've got the shit off Google. I don't know this stuff either. So those of
[30:32.400 -> 30:35.960] you playing along at home, learn with us because this is the next Grand Prix coming up. And
[30:35.960 -> 30:39.680] laugh with us. Yeah learn with us and laugh. There's only five. And hit that subscribe
[30:39.680 -> 30:45.720] button. Yeah that's it, tell them what else to do. And follow button. Yeah. And rate it five stars because we're nearing 2000.
[30:45.720 -> 30:48.400] Let's go!
[30:48.400 -> 30:53.120] And everyone go to alexiskings.com and click the link in the bio and buy tickets to my
[30:53.120 -> 30:55.240] gig in Hoxton on June 17th.
[30:55.240 -> 30:56.240] In London?
[30:56.240 -> 31:00.240] In London, because I would love to meet some Pitstop fans at my gig and Jake's going to
[31:00.240 -> 31:01.240] be there as well.
[31:01.240 -> 31:02.240] Yeah, I'll be dancing.
[31:02.240 -> 31:06.720] Jake's going to be dancing. You can have a beer and a dance with a dance with Jake little boogie. If that'll cost you a tenner.
[31:06.720 -> 31:09.760] Bring it on down. Cash only. Yeah cash on the door.
[31:09.760 -> 31:15.200] I meant for my private dancers. Alright. You can book a private dance
[31:15.200 -> 31:19.120] of Jake Boys for a tenner. Jesus Christ I'd pay millions for that.
[31:19.120 -> 31:24.560] Lance Strauss blown his own wage on a few of them. Anyway Azerbaijan Grand Prix
[31:24.560 -> 31:26.160] five questions play along at home we're gonna start off as easy as we can and Strauss blown his own wage on a few of them. Anyway, Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Five questions,
[31:26.160 -> 31:30.800] play along at home. We're going to start off as easy as we can. And yeah, the multiple choice.
[31:31.520 -> 31:42.720] So when was the first ever Azerbaijan Formula One Grand Prix? 2011, 2014 or 2017?
[31:43.000 -> 31:46.000] 2014 or 2017?
[31:50.000 -> 31:54.000] 2017. Correct! Absolutely correct! Smashed it! How did you know that?
[31:54.000 -> 32:01.000] Because there's been a bit of an influx in racetracks being built on that side of the world.
[32:01.000 -> 32:11.460] Mate, you've absolutely smashed that. The actual first race there was 2016 but any idea what it was? You could smash this for a bonus point. Any idea
[32:11.460 -> 32:16.640] what it was IndyCar? No it was the European Grand Prix. Damn. Which I
[32:16.640 -> 32:19.520] remember we read something about that it was where they like competed in their
[32:19.520 -> 32:23.560] teams I don't know if they do it anymore like the Spanish drivers. Oh really? Yeah
[32:23.560 -> 32:25.040] yeah I think it was something like that. That's leg. Yeah I don't know if they do it anymore, like the Spanish drivers. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, I think it was something like that.
[32:25.040 -> 32:25.880] That's leg.
[32:25.880 -> 32:26.700] Yeah, I don't know if they do it anymore,
[32:26.700 -> 32:28.800] but that was the first race there, 2016,
[32:28.800 -> 32:33.080] but the first ever Formula One event was 2017.
[32:33.080 -> 32:34.000] Okay. You're welcome.
[32:34.000 -> 32:36.200] You smashed that, well done, one out of one.
[32:36.200 -> 32:41.200] Second question, who holds the fastest lap record
[32:41.200 -> 32:43.400] at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix?
[32:43.400 -> 32:46.040] Multiple choice again. Charles Leclerc,
[32:46.040 -> 32:51.600] Lewis Hamilton or Max Verstappen? Am I allowed to look at a photo of the
[32:51.600 -> 32:55.400] circuit? Ask me whatever you want to know about it. As you know because it's in Next
[32:55.400 -> 32:59.160] Questions, unfortunately not. Okay well I'm thinking of Singapore where it's a
[32:59.160 -> 33:02.000] street track and there's lots of long straights. Baku is a street track.
[33:02.000 -> 33:05.240] Yeah I can't remember the shape of it though.
[33:05.240 -> 33:08.160] So it's got like a bit of a round bit up here
[33:08.160 -> 33:10.880] and then it's very much like a rectangle on the other end.
[33:10.880 -> 33:13.760] So straight and then a bit of a round bit.
[33:14.880 -> 33:16.160] Long and thin.
[33:16.160 -> 33:18.800] Yeah, well, it's not that long and thin.
[33:18.800 -> 33:21.240] Is there more straights than corners?
[33:21.240 -> 33:22.080] No.
[33:22.080 -> 33:24.080] It's more of a cornery kind of track.
[33:24.080 -> 33:24.920] Yeah, yeah.
[33:24.920 -> 33:29.600] Okay. There's 20 corners. And who did you say? Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen
[33:29.600 -> 33:33.840] or Charles Leclerc. Fastest ever lap. I'm not going to say Charles Leclerc because I
[33:33.840 -> 33:39.840] don't think the Ferraris would have had it. Um, so it's between Hamilton and, and Red
[33:39.840 -> 33:44.520] Bull. And I would probably say Hamilton because Mercedes were doing so well these last couple
[33:44.520 -> 33:45.440] of years. Yeah. I would have agreed with you if were doing so well these last couple of years.
[33:45.440 -> 33:47.320] Yeah, I would have agreed with you
[33:47.320 -> 33:48.840] if I was answering that question as well,
[33:48.840 -> 33:52.040] but it was actually Charles Leclerc in 2019.
[33:52.040 -> 33:56.760] So Ferrari must have been quick in 2019, a 1.43.09,
[33:56.760 -> 33:59.080] but it is the same as the other one we did.
[33:59.080 -> 34:01.800] I think this may have been a qualifying time.
[34:01.800 -> 34:04.920] On the official F1 website, it says Charles Leclerc 1.43.
[34:04.920 -> 34:08.680] But when you Google it on other places places it'll be like show random qualifying
[34:08.680 -> 34:12.600] laps and p1 but surely it's got to be in the race right yeah so this is the in
[34:12.600 -> 34:17.920] the race time set by Charles Leclerc yeah Charles Leclerc has got
[34:17.920 -> 34:21.600] the fastest lap the man the boy the myth so maybe he's gonna turn it on and go
[34:21.600 -> 34:25.720] John the kid the legend yeah he's the star turn it on in Azerbaijan. The kid, the legend. Yeah, he's just a legend. The star boy.
[34:25.720 -> 34:27.120] The Instagrammable man.
[34:27.120 -> 34:27.960] Yes.
[34:27.960 -> 34:29.160] Yes.
[34:29.160 -> 34:31.560] Who won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix last year?
[34:31.560 -> 34:33.200] Now you got to know this.
[34:33.200 -> 34:34.040] Well, I don't.
[34:34.040 -> 34:37.880] We watched it earlier on TV whilst we were having breakfast.
[34:37.880 -> 34:41.600] So who won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix last year?
[34:41.600 -> 34:46.140] Bottas, Sergio Perez, or Max Verstappen?
[34:48.060 -> 34:50.140] Hmm, I gotta rack my brain to what happened
[34:50.140 -> 34:51.900] earlier on TV now.
[34:51.900 -> 34:54.380] Bottas, Perez, or Verstappen?
[34:54.380 -> 34:59.380] Oh, oh, oh, it's Bottas.
[34:59.480 -> 35:00.660] Why, what makes you think that?
[35:00.660 -> 35:03.340] I just feel like it's Bottas.
[35:03.340 -> 35:04.180] Give me the green light.
[35:04.180 -> 35:05.840] No, why do you think it's Bottas? Because I feel like it's Bottas. Give me the go ahead, give me the green light.
[35:05.840 -> 35:07.800] Because I feel like something happened
[35:07.800 -> 35:10.980] and Bottas just came through.
[35:12.840 -> 35:16.160] I don't know, I can't remember as far back as breakfast.
[35:16.160 -> 35:17.640] It was Sergio Perez.
[35:17.640 -> 35:21.560] Do you know who did you say, Bottas, Sergio Perez or?
[35:21.560 -> 35:22.400] Or Verstappen.
[35:22.400 -> 35:23.720] Yeah, I knew it wasn't Verstappen,
[35:23.720 -> 35:25.960] I knew it was the secondary driver of the team.
[35:25.960 -> 35:26.800] Did you?
[35:26.800 -> 35:28.120] So it was between Perez or Bottas.
[35:28.120 -> 35:29.520] Nice knowledge my friend.
[35:29.520 -> 35:30.720] And I got the wrong team.
[35:30.720 -> 35:31.560] That's not bad.
[35:31.560 -> 35:32.720] So far you got one out of three,
[35:32.720 -> 35:35.240] but everyone's learning here, okay?
[35:35.240 -> 35:36.960] And you could take these questions away.
[35:36.960 -> 35:38.660] And when you're watching the Grand Prix of your friends,
[35:38.660 -> 35:39.500] you can quiz them.
[35:39.500 -> 35:40.480] Yeah, and take them to work the next day
[35:40.480 -> 35:42.120] and you pack lunch.
[35:42.120 -> 35:44.480] We're getting all you guys in your pack lunch.
[35:44.480 -> 35:48.400] I love to pack lunch. We spoke about this before though didn't we and we tell people I jumped on Froobz
[35:48.400 -> 35:52.800] and got banned from my school. I had a little action man pack lunch box. Nice. I had an
[35:52.800 -> 35:58.440] arsenal one. There's no way you didn't have a RuneScape lunch box. I didn't. No way. RuneScape
[35:58.440 -> 36:03.960] weren't making merch back in those days. RuneScape needs merch. We need RuneScape accounts. Okay
[36:03.960 -> 36:07.120] anyway back to what we were saying. Yeah you can take these questions to the next pub quiz
[36:07.120 -> 36:11.820] we're getting you sorted right out the circuit of Baku is just over six
[36:11.820 -> 36:16.560] kilometers per lap crikey yeah it's a long like four miles big track like four
[36:16.560 -> 36:22.480] miles is that double the amount of Monaco we're not quite double but
[36:22.480 -> 36:26.840] actually it might be oh yeah it's. Monaco's two miles pretty much.
[36:26.840 -> 36:29.800] Yeah, the circuit of Baku is just over six kilometers
[36:29.800 -> 36:32.800] per lap, but how many DRS zones are there?
[36:32.800 -> 36:34.080] Three.
[36:34.080 -> 36:35.400] You don't even want the mobile choice?
[36:35.400 -> 36:38.700] Yeah, give me mobile choice please.
[36:38.700 -> 36:40.560] Two, four, or five.
[36:40.560 -> 36:44.380] That's take three out.
[36:45.400 -> 36:47.000] Two, four, or five. Five sounds take three out. Two, four or five.
[36:47.000 -> 36:48.960] Five sounds like a lot.
[36:48.960 -> 36:51.000] Four sounds like a possibility.
[36:51.000 -> 36:53.560] Two sounds more realistic.
[36:53.560 -> 36:55.760] I'm going to take a gamble and go with four.
[36:57.360 -> 36:59.280] Two, I mean two.
[36:59.280 -> 37:01.400] I don't even know if there's another track with four,
[37:01.400 -> 37:02.880] but it's two.
[37:02.880 -> 37:03.720] Shit.
[37:03.720 -> 37:04.880] I don't even think there's a track with two.
[37:04.880 -> 37:06.120] I knew it was going to be two. I knew it was going to be two. I swear there isn's another track with four, though. It's two. I don't even think there's a track with two. I knew it was gonna be two.
[37:06.120 -> 37:07.080] I knew it was gonna be two.
[37:07.080 -> 37:09.840] I swear there isn't a track with four.
[37:09.840 -> 37:11.360] I don't even think there's only one track
[37:11.360 -> 37:12.200] with three, wasn't there?
[37:12.200 -> 37:13.280] Didn't they introduce it for Miami
[37:13.280 -> 37:14.640] and then take it out or something?
[37:14.640 -> 37:16.280] Maybe the fans can give us a message
[37:16.280 -> 37:17.960] on BlinkedIn and let us know.
[37:17.960 -> 37:19.040] BlinkedIn?
[37:19.040 -> 37:20.920] Yeah, there's two DRS zones.
[37:20.920 -> 37:23.160] The first one comes up right on the home straight
[37:23.160 -> 37:26.520] and the second one comes on just after turn two up to turn three. So you literally have a DRS zones, the first one comes up right on the home straight and the second one comes on just after turn two
[37:26.520 -> 37:27.360] up to turn three.
[37:27.360 -> 37:30.800] So you literally have a DRS round one corner,
[37:30.800 -> 37:32.000] round the other DRS again.
[37:32.000 -> 37:32.840] Two identical straights.
[37:32.840 -> 37:34.480] What's the name of turn two?
[37:34.480 -> 37:35.720] Turn two.
[37:35.720 -> 37:37.080] Turn two, right.
[37:37.080 -> 37:38.720] Doesn't have a name on the Formula One website,
[37:38.720 -> 37:40.160] it's just a black circle with a two in it.
[37:40.160 -> 37:40.980] That's a shame.
[37:40.980 -> 37:41.820] That's all I can give you.
[37:41.820 -> 37:42.660] Maybe we should name it.
[37:42.660 -> 37:43.480] Don't be greedy.
[37:43.480 -> 37:44.480] Let's name it.
[37:44.480 -> 37:45.200] All right, what should we name it?
[37:45.200 -> 37:46.040] Razzmatazz.
[37:46.040 -> 37:47.340] Razzmatazz, yeah.
[37:47.340 -> 37:49.440] Down into Razzmatazz, turn two.
[37:49.440 -> 37:52.080] Imagine that, we got so big, we renamed everything.
[37:52.080 -> 37:54.280] And everyone just named it what we call it.
[37:54.280 -> 37:55.520] Imagine if there was a chicane
[37:55.520 -> 37:56.660] when it goes like left and right
[37:56.660 -> 37:57.860] and it was called Jake and Fab.
[37:57.860 -> 37:58.700] Like you're the first and I'm the second one.
[37:58.700 -> 37:59.760] Jake and Fab.
[37:59.760 -> 38:00.600] Down into Jake and Fab.
[38:00.600 -> 38:01.820] Down into Jake and Fab.
[38:01.820 -> 38:03.400] She's flying through Razzmatazz.
[38:03.400 -> 38:04.320] That'd be brilliant.
[38:04.320 -> 38:07.220] Yeah, Razzmatazz is now officially turned to Azerbaijan.
[38:07.220 -> 38:08.900] So everyone remember that?
[38:08.900 -> 38:11.980] There has only ever been four Formula One Grand Prix
[38:11.980 -> 38:16.140] at Baku because the 2020 was canceled due to COVID.
[38:16.140 -> 38:20.260] Which of these four drivers has not won a race
[38:20.260 -> 38:21.940] in Azerbaijan?
[38:21.940 -> 38:24.280] So there's only ever been four races.
[38:24.280 -> 38:25.960] I'm gonna give you four drivers
[38:25.960 -> 38:27.640] and I want you to tell me which one
[38:27.640 -> 38:29.240] hasn't won a race there.
[38:29.240 -> 38:30.600] Okay.
[38:30.600 -> 38:35.440] Riccardo, Bottas, Verstappen or Hamilton.
[38:35.440 -> 38:37.920] Who hasn't won a race?
[38:37.920 -> 38:41.360] Riccardo's the odd one out for me,
[38:41.360 -> 38:43.520] but I feel like he has won there
[38:43.520 -> 38:47.760] because he was having his heyday a couple years back
[38:47.760 -> 38:51.880] pre COVID, if I remember correctly from drive to survive.
[38:51.880 -> 38:55.400] So I feel like maybe Ricardo has won a race there
[38:55.400 -> 38:59.000] which then leaves for Stappen, Hamilton and Bottas.
[38:59.000 -> 39:03.040] Now I know Perez has, what was the question?
[39:03.040 -> 39:03.880] Who won it in 2019?
[39:03.880 -> 39:04.700] Which of these four?
[39:04.700 -> 39:05.000] Which of these four?
[39:05.000 -> 39:07.000] No, the previous one. Was it 2019 you were talking about?
[39:07.000 -> 39:09.000] When I said...
[39:09.000 -> 39:11.000] When you said Perez won it.
[39:11.000 -> 39:12.000] And it wasn't Bottas.
[39:12.000 -> 39:14.000] No, that was, yeah, who won it last year? That was Perez.
[39:14.000 -> 39:16.000] So yeah, Perez is a fourth driver, but that doesn't really help.
[39:16.000 -> 39:18.000] Mate, this is a shot in the dark, man.
[39:18.000 -> 39:20.000] Just pick who you think wouldn't have won at Azerbaijan.
[39:20.000 -> 39:22.000] Lewis Hamilton.
[39:22.000 -> 39:24.000] No. It's Verstappen.
[39:24.000 -> 39:27.520] Damn. Verstappen has not won the Azerbaijan
[39:27.520 -> 39:34.160] Grand Prix. Could this be his year? No. Oh, bold. You heard it here first. You don't get
[39:34.160 -> 39:38.640] our predictions just yet. Don't be greedy. Do you know who wins it? Who? Drumroll please.

I would just chomp the end of it.
[40:45.900 -> 40:46.740] Do you actually?
[40:46.740 -> 40:48.780] You don't peel it off and hold it up like a man with hair?
[40:48.780 -> 40:49.620] Nope.
[40:49.620 -> 40:50.740] You're nuts.
[40:50.740 -> 40:52.380] I haven't had a cheese string in ages.
[40:52.380 -> 40:54.980] Also, eat a pepperoni with the plastic on.
[40:54.980 -> 40:56.960] No, now you're a psychopath.
[40:56.960 -> 40:57.860] No one does that.
[40:57.860 -> 40:58.900] I used to.
[40:58.900 -> 41:00.260] You've done all sorts of weird things.
[41:00.260 -> 41:03.740] I also ate eight baby bells in one sitting.
[41:03.740 -> 41:05.080] I remember that.
[41:05.080 -> 41:07.760] That's when you shit all over the school floor, wasn't it?
[41:07.760 -> 41:08.920] No, this wasn't in school.
[41:08.920 -> 41:10.040] This was like last year.
[41:10.040 -> 41:12.040] This was last year.
[41:13.160 -> 41:14.180] Oh yeah, right.
[41:14.180 -> 41:15.200] We've gone off on a tangent.
