[01:20.000 -> 01:26.040] It is a wonderful Sunday evening right now. Don't know what time it is when you're tuning in, wherever you are.
[01:26.040 -> 01:27.240] But we are here.
[01:27.240 -> 01:32.040] Jake, we just had the sickest little Saturday at Goodwood Festival Speed, didn't we?
[01:32.040 -> 01:33.920] Well, it was quite a day.
[01:33.920 -> 01:37.240] We went in some cars, Fab went in a helicopter.
[01:37.240 -> 01:38.400] It was a lot.
[01:38.400 -> 01:39.400] It was a lot.
[01:39.400 -> 01:41.880] Let's talk about the cars straight away, yeah, before we get into this pod.
[01:41.880 -> 01:47.840] Because by the way, there's no race this weekend, so we've had to improvise once again go on say your line
[01:47.840 -> 01:52.860] say your line it's Silverstone this week no this is still last week it's Sunday
[01:52.860 -> 01:57.440] what it's still Sunday so this is still last week there's a race this is up
[01:57.440 -> 02:04.680] tomorrow there's a race this weekend alright well there is a race this week
[02:04.680 -> 02:08.000] alright but normally we do it on the first day didn't we?
[02:08.000 -> 02:09.000] Yeah yeah yeah.
[02:09.000 -> 02:13.000] That's what I'm getting at. Sundays normally are like a round up of whatever just happened which was nothing.
[02:13.000 -> 02:15.000] It's been a long ass weekend, we're pretty tired.
[02:15.000 -> 02:20.000] But yeah, it's been crazy. Fab went in a Rolls Royce round the track, got absolutely flown round.
[02:20.000 -> 02:23.000] I went in a Ferrari and then on the way, yeah we did the hill climb.
[02:23.000 -> 02:25.080] Ferrari Roma you was in.
[02:25.080 -> 02:25.580] Yeah.
[02:25.580 -> 02:26.380] So I found out.
[02:26.380 -> 02:27.380] It was so quick.
[02:27.380 -> 02:28.880] It was pretty damn quick.
[02:28.880 -> 02:32.380] It was so quick because Fab coming out on the way back, we saw some F1 cars there.
[02:32.380 -> 02:35.880] Yeah, Goodwood Festival of Speed was amazing and we went with Sky Sports.
[02:35.880 -> 02:37.380] So we're really thankful that they took us.
[02:37.380 -> 02:39.880] Is that the fastest car that you've ever been in?
[02:41.380 -> 02:43.880] I mean like, mine's obviously quicker.
[02:45.760 -> 02:47.760] Do you think? Nah, I mean. Nah's obviously quicker Do you think
[02:48.120 -> 02:53.240] I've gone I've never gone quicker than that in a car. I don't think I don't know how quick he went
[02:53.240 -> 02:56.000] I wasn't looking at the speed. I was so fucking nervous
[02:56.160 -> 03:01.120] I just couldn't believe you went flying into this tiny little corner going for wellie at a Ferrari
[03:01.120 -> 03:08.800] I was just thinking if we go into a wall like these hay bales. aren't gonna do a lot are they? It's that cobbled wall on the side. Can you remember what it's called?
[03:08.800 -> 03:09.600] Yeah, Cobbled Corner.
[03:12.560 -> 03:15.920] Yeah, I don't know what it's called. He said he's gonna fly through Cobbled Corner.
[03:15.920 -> 03:19.920] Apparently it's like a famous area. He's like, if you hit your car against that,
[03:19.920 -> 03:23.280] your car's screwed. I was like, yeah, no joke. It's a wall.
[03:23.280 -> 03:25.040] The speed that you're going it was
[03:25.040 -> 03:30.040] brutal yeah that's a great weekend but we're back now today's Sunday we're
[03:30.040 -> 03:34.660] filming for tonight's episode like fab tried to say it's Silverstone this
[03:34.660 -> 03:39.000] coming weekend is Silverstone this coming weekend but yeah we have some
[03:39.000 -> 03:42.560] more exciting shit coming before oh my god yeah should we tell him should we
[03:42.560 -> 03:46.000] just tell him straight no we can't No, we can't tell them who.
[03:46.000 -> 03:48.000] No, no, not who, but let's give them big news.
[03:48.000 -> 03:50.000] Alright. Go on.
[03:50.000 -> 03:54.000] Well, like we said in the last episode, we have a special guest coming on.
[03:54.000 -> 03:56.000] That special guest is a
[03:56.000 -> 03:58.000] ex-Formula 1
[03:58.000 -> 04:00.000] driver.
[04:00.000 -> 04:02.000] Yeah. We actually have a
[04:02.000 -> 04:04.000] Formula 1 driver
[04:04.000 -> 04:05.000] coming on the podcast.
[04:05.000 -> 04:06.200] I was going to say something else.
[04:06.200 -> 04:09.200] But yeah, I'd love to add something else, but we'd be giving too much away.
[04:09.200 -> 04:10.800] But trust me, we're probably just giving it away.
[04:10.800 -> 04:13.200] You guys are going to absolutely love it.
[04:13.300 -> 04:14.800] It's an amazing guest.
[04:14.800 -> 04:18.300] I don't actually know how we've got the opportunity to do this, but I feel like
[04:18.300 -> 04:20.400] this is going to be our best guest yet.
[04:20.400 -> 04:22.800] Yeah, I think it's going to be our best guest and we're going to try and get it
[04:22.800 -> 04:25.420] up as Thursday's episode because when you're listening to
[04:25.420 -> 04:28.000] This Monday, we're literally filming it Tuesday the podcast
[04:28.000 -> 04:33.240] So hopefully it can be Thursday's episode and we can give our Silverstone predictions with them
[04:33.240 -> 04:39.740] It's crazy because fit very thin episode anything. We'll try and squeeze it for Thursday. Don't you worry guys?
[04:39.740 -> 04:41.700] yeah, and if we don't then
[04:41.700 -> 04:43.820] Tough shit, but we're gonna try
[04:43.240 -> 04:44.080] And if we don't, then tough shit. But we're gonna try.
[04:44.080 -> 04:45.260] No, we're gonna do it.
[04:45.260 -> 04:46.320] All right, we will.
[04:46.320 -> 04:49.340] Jake, there's some stuff going on in the news at the minute.
[04:49.340 -> 04:50.820] Oh, what, going on in the F1 world
[04:50.820 -> 04:51.660] that you've been finding out about?
[04:51.660 -> 04:52.500] There's a few bits going on.
[04:52.500 -> 04:53.880] Would you want my opinion?
[04:53.880 -> 04:55.900] I want your opinion.
[04:55.900 -> 04:56.920] Perhaps I'm all yours.
[04:56.920 -> 04:58.520] Talk to me about the Formula One world.
[04:58.520 -> 05:01.400] Let's have a man-to-man, someone commented earlier.
[05:01.400 -> 05:05.200] Are you guys brothers, friends or a couple?
[05:05.200 -> 05:06.040] I love that.
[05:06.040 -> 05:07.460] I've replied, all three.
[05:07.460 -> 05:10.440] It's true.
[05:10.440 -> 05:11.360] We're not a couple.
[05:14.640 -> 05:17.240] Welcome back to news time with the Pit Stop boys.
[05:17.240 -> 05:18.560] Jake, I've just checked news now.
[05:18.560 -> 05:20.600] There's a few things going on in the Formula One world
[05:20.600 -> 05:24.440] that we probably weren't to know about until just now.
[05:24.440 -> 05:26.400] Oh really, what breaking news coming out right now?
[05:26.400 -> 05:28.600] It's not breaking breaking news but it's fairly breaking.
[05:28.600 -> 05:29.600] Okay come on hit me.
[05:29.600 -> 05:32.440] Well you know a familiar name Bernie Eccleston.
[05:32.440 -> 05:33.440] Yes.
[05:33.440 -> 05:38.200] He's made a few comments which didn't really sit right with me.
[05:38.200 -> 05:39.200] Woah.
[05:39.200 -> 05:42.960] Interesting because he actually owned Formula 1 before and then he sold it to Liberty Media
[05:42.960 -> 05:43.960] I believe.
[05:43.960 -> 05:46.640] Yeah he's like the big dog in Formula One. Yeah.
[05:46.640 -> 05:50.840] He's basically said that- The Pit Stop boys are fucking terrible and
[05:50.840 -> 05:56.280] they are ruining the sport! I thought you- how can you imagine? I would
[05:56.280 -> 05:59.200] die. That would be the best day of my life if
[05:59.200 -> 06:01.000] that happened. It's funny you said that because I read an
[06:01.000 -> 06:04.480] article about Monaco and how they were thinking about changing it and I thought they've fucking
[06:04.480 -> 06:06.080] heard our podcast.
[06:06.080 -> 06:08.080] And imagine what they did, that big bridge.
[06:08.080 -> 06:10.960] And they were like, yeah, the Pitsnop boys know what's going to happen to the Monaco
[06:10.960 -> 06:11.960] track.
[06:11.960 -> 06:12.960] They'll be genius.
[06:12.960 -> 06:16.800] No, Bernie Eccleston has basically said that apparently Toto Wolff is getting fed up of
[06:16.800 -> 06:18.800] Lewis.
[06:18.800 -> 06:20.560] Bernie Eccleston has said that?
[06:20.560 -> 06:21.560] Yes.
[06:21.560 -> 06:22.560] How real is that?
[06:22.560 -> 06:23.560] It's real.
[06:23.560 -> 06:24.560] Would you get it off Reddit?
[06:24.560 -> 06:28.040] No, I've got that? It's real. Would you get it off reddit?
[06:30.040 -> 06:30.840] Disney Channel
[06:36.700 -> 06:36.900] Bernie Eccleston that basically he said that in his own personal opinion. He thinks Toto is fed up with Lewis Hamilton
[06:41.160 -> 06:42.260] He seems to think that Lewis Hamilton isn't really trying to win this year. Do you reckon?
[06:48.820 -> 06:52.160] It doesn't make sense to me because he's such a competitive guy. I don't think he's ever not trying to win. I know. I don't believe that. This is why these comments didn't sit with me but he's also basically said
[06:52.160 -> 06:56.380] that he thinks that Lewis could essentially sell his position, his seat
[06:56.380 -> 07:02.920] to Toto and just be like look, I'll dip out now, give me half the money or
[07:02.920 -> 07:06.860] whatever and I'll just retire and then you can strike a deal with someone
[07:06.860 -> 07:11.060] Else really like 20 million cheaper. Do you reckon? I don't reckon
[07:11.760 -> 07:15.920] This is why I was so dumbfounded by these comments. How does this Bernie guy know this stuff?
[07:15.920 -> 07:20.000] Yeah, well, he is Bernie Eggleston. Well, so no everything going on with it. Yeah
[07:20.520 -> 07:24.160] Yeah, but that doesn't make sense to me. I think Lewis Hamilton's one of the most competitive people in the world
[07:24.160 -> 07:29.440] I just don't think he'd ever be on the grid not trying to win no matter what. I don't know. Is it?
[07:29.920 -> 07:35.100] I'm not sure. I mean, he's doing alright at the moment. He's coming back now. He's coming right back
[07:35.100 -> 07:41.440] He had a good race in Canada, but is he coming back? Yes, it's Silverstone this weekend. Lewis Hamilton is gonna win
[07:41.440 -> 07:45.000] He's gonna bring it home for the Brits. Okay, that is what I want.
[07:45.000 -> 07:47.720] This week, I'm Hamilton for him.
[07:47.720 -> 07:49.760] And Norris, I'm happy with either of them.
[07:49.760 -> 07:51.960] And Russell, I'm happy with any of them.
[07:51.960 -> 07:53.760] What about Leclerc?
[07:53.760 -> 07:54.880] He's not English.
[07:54.880 -> 07:56.680] What about Fernando Alonso?
[07:56.680 -> 07:57.960] Yeah, you can support Fernando.
[07:57.960 -> 07:59.520] Oh my God, that's reminded me.
[07:59.520 -> 08:01.080] What?
[08:01.080 -> 08:02.720] Quick proof check update, guys.
[08:02.720 -> 08:04.360] Just to confirm, in the last episode,
[08:04.360 -> 08:10.000] I said that Valtteri Bottas' new girlfriend was an Olympic swimmer, just to confirm they got divorced.
[08:10.000 -> 08:15.000] His wife is actually now an Olympic cyclist. So I was wrong.
[08:15.000 -> 08:17.000] Two Olympians, what are the chances?
[08:17.000 -> 08:19.000] What are the other things we need to clear up? Oh I actually said-
[08:19.000 -> 08:21.000] Carlos signs dad.
[08:21.000 -> 08:25.000] No, I said that Lewis Hamilton never won France.
[08:25.000 -> 08:26.000] That is true.
[08:26.000 -> 08:27.720] That is not true.
[08:27.720 -> 08:28.940] That was the false one.
[08:28.940 -> 08:31.400] So that was what I was saying that he has won it.
[08:31.400 -> 08:33.080] Lewis Hamilton has won France.
[08:33.080 -> 08:34.080] So I should have got a point for that.
[08:34.080 -> 08:36.120] No, because I said never.
[08:36.120 -> 08:38.640] And you still thought it was true, but it was false.
[08:38.640 -> 08:39.640] You get me?
[08:39.640 -> 08:41.760] And what were the other ones?
[08:41.760 -> 08:42.760] There was a few other ones.
[08:42.760 -> 08:45.200] Oh yeah, Fab's Carlos Sainz one was absolutely genius
[08:45.200 -> 08:50.400] I got absolutely hammered for that so just to confirm Fabs, Carlos Sainz's dad was a squash
[08:50.400 -> 08:56.480] champion who asked us the other day if we get um like like when we get hate on our comments if we
[08:56.480 -> 09:01.760] care about it or not was that Goodwood yeah oh yeah it's probably Matt or uh Sophie there they
[09:01.760 -> 09:05.160] said um yeah they asked us like how did you feel when people would leave you
[09:05.160 -> 09:06.160] like shitty comments?
[09:06.160 -> 09:07.160] But they said, to be fair,
[09:07.160 -> 09:09.880] most of the comments we get aren't bad, which is true.
[09:09.880 -> 09:11.360] Most of the comments that these people leave
[09:11.360 -> 09:12.280] are actually quite nice.
[09:12.280 -> 09:13.520] Yeah, and I actually love it
[09:13.520 -> 09:15.240] when the hateful ones come in anyway.
[09:15.240 -> 09:16.080] I know.
[09:16.080 -> 09:18.880] That's a little bit of spice to the comment section.
[09:18.880 -> 09:20.720] Cause on TikTok, you can review comments
[09:20.720 -> 09:22.000] if they're really bad, can't you?
[09:22.000 -> 09:23.280] And sometimes I just put them up anyway.
[09:23.280 -> 09:24.120] Yeah, me too.
[09:24.120 -> 09:27.080] Whenever I was running the review station, I put it up.
[09:27.080 -> 09:29.080] But I think I'm pretty sure my answer was like,
[09:29.080 -> 09:31.080] I don't care if like people give us hate
[09:31.080 -> 09:31.920] for getting stuff wrong
[09:31.920 -> 09:34.160] because everything that we do is pretty much wrong.
[09:34.160 -> 09:36.360] Mate, the whole idea of us trying to do this podcast
[09:36.360 -> 09:37.200] is to learn.
[09:37.200 -> 09:40.280] If we didn't get stuff wrong, that'd be boring.
[09:40.280 -> 09:42.840] I think the fact we get the stuff wrong is the brand.
[09:42.840 -> 09:45.280] It's hilarious, that's why we love it.
[09:45.280 -> 09:49.040] But I just think like every time we do get something right now, it always feels so much better.
[09:49.040 -> 09:50.480] Yeah, it does. We like celebrate it.
[09:50.480 -> 09:52.320] There's like a sense of accomplishment.
[09:52.320 -> 09:55.760] Yeah. Shout out to Matt and Sophie, both from WTF1.
[09:55.760 -> 09:59.280] I know Sophie does her own thing, but yeah, we met Matt and Sophie from there.
[10:00.000 -> 10:01.760] Great people, it was lovely to meet them.
[10:01.760 -> 10:08.480] And see an insight from people that have been in the world longer than us and learn about things and yeah it was just really great and we found out that um
[10:09.120 -> 10:11.280] yeah we're all massive RuneScape players!
[10:14.960 -> 10:21.520] When I say we, Fab's and Matt mainly. Yeah and Sophie plays um World of Warcraft with Jake.
[10:23.280 -> 10:26.000] They were all gonna Fortnite, innit?
[10:26.000 -> 10:28.000] Big Fortnite tournament.
[10:28.000 -> 10:30.000] Listen, it was also nice to meet everyone else
[10:30.000 -> 10:32.000] that we bumped into.
[10:32.000 -> 10:34.000] Oh yeah, we met other people.
[10:34.000 -> 10:36.000] It was nice to meet the fans.
[10:36.000 -> 10:38.000] The people who literally are the life and soul of their life.
[10:38.000 -> 10:40.000] Yeah, we met a guy, he said he loved the podcast
[10:40.000 -> 10:42.000] and then he worked for Krispy Kreme, so hopefully we can get some donuts for free.
[10:42.000 -> 10:44.000] I'd love some donuts.
[10:44.000 -> 10:47.040] Right, back to the news, anyway. But look listen if this
[10:47.040 -> 10:51.320] whole thing was to happen with Lewis Hamlin yeah let's say like I don't know
[10:51.320 -> 10:55.420] what hypothetically speaking he was to go. Remember what we were talking about a
[10:55.420 -> 10:59.840] few pod episodes ago Nick DeVries formula E coming up through like I can
[10:59.840 -> 11:12.080] just see it happening already if it did happen it could be amazing yeah cuz you've been studying Nick DeVries haven't you? I know a lot about Nick DeVries. I know that you know a lot too so we don't need to talk about it.
[11:12.080 -> 11:17.200] No no I know nothing about Nick DeVries. You specifically told me that you know a lot about Nick DeVries.
[11:17.200 -> 11:20.440] The way you've answered that question for yourself that makes it come across though
[11:20.440 -> 11:23.880] that you really think this could happen you think DeVries could replace Hamelin
[11:23.880 -> 11:25.800] I think it could happen I don't think he's gonna dip out
[11:25.800 -> 11:29.000] halfway through the year. I like the way you think a driver you don't know anything
[11:29.000 -> 11:33.960] about could replace Hammond. What do you know about Piastri? Piastri is an
[11:33.960 -> 11:38.640] amazing young driver who won Formula 3, Formula 2, back-to-back and then went
[11:38.640 -> 11:42.000] straight to Alpine Driver Academy. So did Nick De Vries then he went to Formula E.
[11:42.000 -> 11:50.000] Okay but Piastri has stayed there, won Formula 3, won Formula 2, and arguably is going to be one of the best drivers in Formula 1 as soon as he takes a seat.
[11:50.000 -> 11:51.000] Why? What gives you that reason?
[11:51.000 -> 11:58.000] Because he's done the perfect come down. I think he might have even done Formula 3, Formula 4, Formula 3, Formula 2, three years in a row.
[11:58.000 -> 11:59.000] Yeah.
[11:59.000 -> 12:00.000] He's never knocked one.
[12:00.000 -> 12:02.000] And you think he's going to go to, he's going to replace who?
[12:02.000 -> 12:06.480] I don't think he'll go to Alpine, I think we'll probably see Piastri at Williams, I think he'll probably replace Latifi. You think he's gonna go to he's gonna replace who I don't think we go to Alpine I think we'll probably see Piastri or Williams I think he'll probably
[12:06.480 -> 12:10.960] replace Latifi you think he's better than Latifi but then I think you could
[12:10.960 -> 12:15.240] see Piastri getting pulled up for Mercedes because that's Williams so I
[12:15.240 -> 12:19.800] well I think it's Nick de Vries you think it's Piastri for me but then I'm
[12:19.800 -> 12:23.480] still unsure whether Mercedes would put two young drivers in like Russell and
[12:23.480 -> 12:26.380] Piastri but then I don't know where else they'd go, you know
[12:26.380 -> 12:32.440] We're always walking around the topic of Mercedes and who they're gonna get but but Toto is always talking to Nick de Vries
[12:32.440 -> 12:36.880] It could be Ocon. He's Toto's manager. You think Ocon to Mercedes?
[12:36.880 -> 12:39.280] Toto is Ocon's manager so anything could happen
[12:39.600 -> 12:45.640] But it's not gonna be Gasly anymore because Alfa Tauri have confirmed. Pierre Gasly is signed and is gonna definitely be,
[12:45.640 -> 12:46.640] no, not signed a new deal,
[12:46.640 -> 12:48.840] but it's definitely gonna be there next season.
[12:48.840 -> 12:49.680] 2023.
[12:49.680 -> 12:51.480] I wasn't sure whether that still means though
[12:51.480 -> 12:52.960] a team could come in and bid.
[12:52.960 -> 12:57.960] Like for example, say Hamilton randomly left tomorrow.
[12:58.040 -> 13:01.240] Mercedes, I think can buy him out of his AlphaTauri contract
[13:01.240 -> 13:04.060] even though they've said he's gonna stay, I think.
[13:04.060 -> 13:06.400] So it's probably not gonna change but I think it could.
[13:06.400 -> 13:08.680] I don't know if that works or not.
[13:08.680 -> 13:12.200] It was nice that he's extended it but I was kind of excited at the thought of him going
[13:12.200 -> 13:13.200] somewhere else.
[13:13.200 -> 13:16.640] We're gonna have to get Will Buxton back on soon because I feel like if I actually thought
[13:16.640 -> 13:18.600] about it I've got loads of questions I want to ask.
[13:18.600 -> 13:23.120] I want to be like what happens when can you swap teams, how do the contracts work, I've
[13:23.120 -> 13:24.360] got so much we could talk to Will about.
[13:24.360 -> 13:25.600] We need a fact checker.
[13:25.600 -> 13:27.760] Will said they're halfway through a season, or come on.
[13:27.760 -> 13:30.240] In a few races we're halfway through a season.
[13:30.240 -> 13:31.440] So we have to get Will back on.
[13:31.440 -> 13:32.160] Where are we now?
[13:32.160 -> 13:33.400] And then we can ask the people what they want to ask.
[13:33.400 -> 13:35.520] What is Silverstone? Is Silverstone the...
[13:35.520 -> 13:36.320] I think there's like...
[13:36.320 -> 13:37.080] Ninth race?
[13:37.080 -> 13:39.800] Twelve races left after Silverstone, I think.
[13:39.800 -> 13:40.360] Really?
[13:40.360 -> 13:41.240] Yeah.
[13:41.240 -> 13:42.280] What's number ten?
[13:42.280 -> 13:42.800] I think so.
[13:42.800 -> 13:44.280] Wow.
[13:44.280 -> 13:48.240] Wow, that's gone quick. It could be number nine. I'm not actually sure. I don't know who knows
[13:49.600 -> 13:51.600] Until the next point right
[13:51.600 -> 13:54.180] So I want to talk about so for a little bit
[13:54.440 -> 14:00.160] because I read an article just now about how him and bought us have been getting on amazingly well together and
[14:00.740 -> 14:05.520] the results basically at the last GP in Canada was Bottas 7, Zoe 8.
[14:05.520 -> 14:10.560] And Zoe's been making comments saying how Bottas has basically been helping him
[14:10.560 -> 14:15.960] like the older brother you know like how Fernando, like Fernando Alonso whenever
[14:15.960 -> 14:19.080] he's like whenever there's new people on the grid he's always taken on that role
[14:19.080 -> 14:22.600] to like make them better. Like he just like will like give him like information
[14:22.600 -> 14:28.800] like he'll give him advice like try and make him feel comfortable I don't know this for sure but this is the vibe that I've gotten
[14:28.800 -> 14:35.240] same with Seb Vettel right? So I'm thinking like maybe Bottas now is gonna like take on that role
[14:35.240 -> 14:42.200] and kind of take Joe underneath his wing. Yeah wouldn't surprise me because you got Bottas has
[14:42.200 -> 14:45.800] been in the best team, worked with Hamilton, accepted he wasn't gonna win it
[14:45.820 -> 14:53.200] He's not gonna win it without for a Romeo. He'd probably much rather be a part of someone's journey than just drop out and like
[14:53.920 -> 14:58.040] What I think is... He doesn't want to fend for himself for a Romeo I don't think. I think Bottas is now
[14:58.200 -> 15:02.720] Like he is gonna go on to be one of those older drivers who just stays in the sport forever
[15:02.840 -> 15:08.800] Yeah, I think so. At the end of last season I I was thinking, maybe this could be it, like maybe he just
[15:08.800 -> 15:09.800] won't even be done.
[15:09.800 -> 15:12.320] No, that would have been devastating.
[15:12.320 -> 15:15.400] But I feel like now he could take on that old bull kind of role.
[15:15.400 -> 15:16.400] Do you reckon?
[15:16.400 -> 15:17.400] Yeah.
[15:17.400 -> 15:20.920] Do you not think there's absolutely no chance in him going back to Mercedes?
[15:20.920 -> 15:21.920] No.
[15:21.920 -> 15:25.400] Do you not think he'd be an absolutely perfect partner for Russell? That's like saying Seb Vettel going back to Mercedes? No. Do you not think he'd been the absolutely perfect partner for Russell?
[15:25.400 -> 15:29.840] That's like saying Seb Vettel going back to Ferrari. It's quite different. Vettel's a
[15:29.840 -> 15:35.760] lot older than Bottas. Yeah he is. He's not a lot older. He is. I think Vettel's like
[15:35.760 -> 15:40.800] 37 but I think Bottas is only like 31, 32. I don't even know if Vettel's Bottas is 30.
[15:40.800 -> 15:43.560] I don't even know if he's 30. Let's check this. Matt's going to check the ages. Right
[15:43.560 -> 15:46.320] let's guess before you check. See I said that that last time, I think he's like 29.
[15:46.320 -> 15:50.880] So how old do you think Vettel is? Vettel? Yeah, like late 30s. I'd go 37.
[15:50.880 -> 15:58.000] All right, okay. I'll go 35, just because why not? Okay. And I think he's like 29.
[15:58.000 -> 15:59.280] What, for Bottas? Yeah.
[16:00.240 -> 16:03.040] All right, I'm gonna just go 30 on the dot. All right.
[16:03.040 -> 16:05.480] But that's a complete guess guess Valtteri Bottas
[16:05.480 -> 16:07.820] This is the fun of the pit stop podcast is
[16:08.560 -> 16:09.960] Guys we hit
[16:09.960 -> 16:16.040] 2,200 reviews I started to who he's 32 who Bottas yeah, yeah, so how old is metal?
[16:16.040 -> 16:22.160] I thought he was I thought he was 29. Yeah, he's still got plenty of driving left in him plenty of years said that wage
[16:23.080 -> 16:25.400] Said well, how old do you think he is?
[16:25.400 -> 16:26.520] 35 I said.
[16:26.520 -> 16:27.340] 35.
[16:27.340 -> 16:28.180] You said 37.
[16:28.180 -> 16:29.020] I said 37.
[16:29.020 -> 16:29.840] He's 34.
[16:29.840 -> 16:31.960] Oh wow, we know nothing.
[16:31.960 -> 16:32.800] Literally.
[16:32.800 -> 16:33.640] Know nothing.
[16:33.640 -> 16:37.120] So he's only two years older, so I was right.
[16:37.120 -> 16:39.800] But he's gonna take on that kind of like
[16:39.800 -> 16:41.680] that next level role now, I feel like.
[16:41.680 -> 16:43.720] Cause he's such a nice guy, isn't he?
[16:43.720 -> 16:47.560] Oh, he's such a nice guy. I think he would just help a nice guy I think he would just help any the new drivers and just kind
[16:47.560 -> 16:50.380] of give advice where he can because he did drive for like a top team so he
[16:50.380 -> 16:54.460] knows his shit we just need him to win a race this season as if Will Buxton
[16:54.460 -> 16:58.140] currently has to get a tattoo of Valtteri Bottas if he wins a race that I
[16:58.140 -> 17:02.820] would absolutely die mate, I would die I don't know what race he's more likely to win but I
[17:02.820 -> 17:06.520] swear Valtteri Bottas is really quick around Silverstone.
[17:06.520 -> 17:07.360] You could be right.
[17:07.360 -> 17:08.180] But I'm not sure.
[17:08.180 -> 17:09.040] I haven't researched that.
[17:09.040 -> 17:10.760] Yeah, I'm not sure.
[17:10.760 -> 17:11.600] But Silverstone's gonna be great.
[17:11.600 -> 17:12.420] I think he's just quick in general.
[17:12.420 -> 17:13.260] He's done well this year.
[17:13.260 -> 17:14.520] Like, I was looking throughout all the races
[17:14.520 -> 17:15.360] he's done this year,
[17:15.360 -> 17:17.240] and he's always, like, been in the top 10 pretty much,
[17:17.240 -> 17:18.440] when he hasn't DNF'd.
[17:18.440 -> 17:20.720] We've had a load of people ask us about Silverstone.
[17:20.720 -> 17:22.580] People still wanna know if we're gonna be there.
[17:22.580 -> 17:24.680] Cannot confirm, cannot deny,
[17:24.680 -> 17:28.400] so we won't be able to tell you to like Thursday's ep right before
[17:28.400 -> 17:31.920] and then I feel like we'll be able to give you a... I think the guys know the
[17:31.920 -> 17:36.640] way that we roll by now we never know anything yeah we don't do this by the way deliberately we
[17:36.640 -> 17:39.720] genuinely hear like a day or two before this is the best we could do we don't
[17:39.720 -> 17:43.360] know whether we'll be there yet no but we are interviewing an F1 driver on
[17:43.360 -> 17:45.440] Tuesday yes pretty mega.
[17:45.440 -> 17:48.720] It's gonna be mega. This week's just busy in general for us. We've got some things going
[17:48.720 -> 17:53.920] on behind the scenes. Oh yeah, we've got other things going on. Yeah. Just two busy guys.
[17:53.920 -> 17:57.840] It's gonna be crazy. Yeah, everything's starting to kick off. We finally managed to get the video
[17:57.840 -> 18:02.240] up with Ollie Ollerton. If you haven't seen that on our YouTube, Pitstop Jacob Fab. It took a while
[18:02.240 -> 18:07.140] because there was like so many audio streams to play with and we're learning how to edit videos
[18:07.140 -> 18:11.900] Like that's hopefully our next ones and get better and better. Yeah, like leave a comment. Let us know your thoughts
[18:12.160 -> 18:16.540] I'm absolutely dying in it. We both are absolutely dying in it. I don't even know why we made this video
[18:17.800 -> 18:20.880] It was a struggle. I need to show you something as well fab
[18:20.880 -> 18:23.960] I saw this earlier on f1 trial absolute kill me. What is it a funny video?
[18:23.960 -> 18:25.200] It's just a photo.
[18:25.200 -> 18:28.200] Did you see Yuki Tsunoda's picture with his girlfriend?
[18:28.200 -> 18:29.200] No.
[18:29.200 -> 18:43.000] That's Pierre Gasly with a female footer on.
[18:43.000 -> 18:44.000] He looks smoking hot.
[18:44.000 -> 18:45.120] Yeah, let me see. Mate, he looks good. Does he? Wow. Wow, Gasly with a female fur on. He looks smoking hot! Let me see!
[18:45.120 -> 18:46.160] Mate, he looks good!
[18:46.160 -> 18:46.660] Does he?
[18:47.120 -> 18:47.620] Wow!
[18:47.620 -> 18:52.080] Wow! Gasly with a long hair!
[18:52.080 -> 18:53.840] That's hilarious, I wish the people could see that.
[18:53.840 -> 18:55.040] Blimey!
[18:55.040 -> 18:56.480] That's so funny.
[18:56.480 -> 19:02.080] Oh my god, his girlfriend is about three times the size of Yuki.
[19:02.080 -> 19:03.520] Oh well, legendary.
[19:03.520 -> 19:04.960] Alright, ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling!
[19:04.960 -> 19:05.120] It's time for some Silverstone facts! It is time for some Silverstone facts! is about three times the size of Yuki. Oh well, legendary. All right, ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling,
[19:05.120 -> 19:07.200] it's time for some Silverstone facts.
[19:07.200 -> 19:09.120] It is time for some Silverstone facts.
[19:09.120 -> 19:09.960] The buzzer.
[19:09.960 -> 19:10.780] You can tell we're filming this
[19:10.780 -> 19:12.240] before it's got a go up and we're tied, can't you?
[19:12.240 -> 19:13.080] The buzzer went.
[19:13.080 -> 19:15.440] We're rushing this through the door.
[19:15.440 -> 19:17.280] I'm talking about something and he's there going,
[19:17.280 -> 19:18.480] ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling.
[19:18.480 -> 19:19.320] It wasn't me, the buzzer went.
[19:19.320 -> 19:20.360] Do you want it to end that?
[19:20.360 -> 19:22.120] The buzzer went, right.
[19:22.120 -> 19:23.400] It's been a long weekend.
[19:23.400 -> 19:27.000] We're gonna be on, yeah, it's been a busy weekend. Guys, we're going in with some Silverstone facts.
[19:27.000 -> 19:29.000] Doing two a week, to be fair, is a lot of work.
[19:29.000 -> 19:31.000] Most podcasts don't upload as much as we do.
[19:31.000 -> 19:34.000] It's when we haven't got a race on, we've got to try and make up interesting stuff.
[19:34.000 -> 19:38.000] Yeah, but I like that because I think that's when we go off in a tangent and we do talk about random stuff.
[19:38.000 -> 19:41.000] But I think that's what makes the extra episodes valuable.
[19:41.000 -> 19:43.000] That's what makes Pit Stop, Pit Stop.
[19:43.000 -> 19:48.320] If we only did one a week, we'd probably always have a lot to to talk about but we'd probably never tangent off because we wouldn't have the
[19:48.320 -> 19:52.400] gaps. But how because we have the gaps. I like having two a week. Yeah me too. Makes it feel
[19:52.400 -> 19:55.920] fresh. It's also good because we can keep them updated. Yeah. But yeah give us some Silverstone
[19:55.920 -> 20:00.000] facts. All right well I've got about six or seven here. Oh no you haven't. I was gonna write five
[20:00.000 -> 20:03.760] and I got carried away. Are you turning them into a quiz questions? Um got a few multiple choice,
[20:03.760 -> 20:06.960] got a few single choice, got a few. What this is few single choice got a few this is a quiz got a few this that the other
[20:06.960 -> 20:09.840] Yeah, oh my god, ladies and gentlemen a silverstone quiz
[20:09.840 -> 20:14.840] Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling everyone's favorite things in here on the pit stop podcast because we ran out of ideas
[20:14.840 -> 20:16.840] and do the same thing every week
[20:16.840 -> 20:18.840] Here we go, question one
[20:31.120 -> 20:32.120] Right, in Barcelona, Jake, when we went, as you know, it was very, very chaotic. Yeah.
[20:32.120 -> 20:34.760] There was 277,000 people there.
[20:34.760 -> 20:38.440] What is the estimated attendance for Silverstone in 2022?
[20:38.440 -> 20:40.080] I swear it was...
[20:40.080 -> 20:41.760] You are Googling right now, your phone's in your hand.
[20:41.760 -> 20:42.760] No, no, I'm not, I'm not.
[20:42.760 -> 20:49.600] I, okay, I just needed to load something. I swear, last year, the biggest ever was 350,000 and it was Silverstone.
[20:49.600 -> 20:50.600] Mmm.
[20:50.600 -> 20:51.880] And I'd say it's probably bigger now.
[20:51.880 -> 20:52.880] Mmm.
[20:52.880 -> 20:56.280] So I'm gonna go that the attendance for this weekend will be 450,000.
[20:56.280 -> 20:57.280] You are crazy.
[20:57.280 -> 20:58.280] 140,000.
[20:58.280 -> 20:59.280] What?!
[20:59.280 -> 21:00.280] Yeah!
[21:00.280 -> 21:01.280] Smaller, innit?
[21:01.280 -> 21:04.120] I thought it was one of the biggest, am I completely wrong?
[21:04.120 -> 21:05.040] Pfft, I don't know
[21:05.040 -> 21:10.200] I don't Google says 140,000 ice. No, I swear. Yeah, but is that one day? I
[21:10.800 -> 21:17.080] Swear across the weekend their record last weekend was last year. Yeah, maybe that's on one day. Yeah, I think it is
[21:17.080 -> 21:21.780] Cuz last year I think they broke the record for the highest attended f1 in Silverstone. Yeah
[21:22.500 -> 21:26.880] 350,000 for the weekend. Well, if it's a's 140,000 a day then over let's say three days. That's more.
[21:27.080 -> 21:30.960] That's 400,000. 420,000. Yeah, 420,000. Which would be a record.
[21:31.480 -> 21:38.680] Your favorite number. A 420 record. Yeah. Wow. That is gonna be, we have to go to Silverstone. I bet we've got
[21:39.400 -> 21:43.840] probably not thousands, but we've probably got a couple of people listening there, well hundreds of people listening.
[21:43.840 -> 21:46.660] I would say there is gonna be at least a million Pitstop fans there
[21:47.140 -> 21:50.140] No, probably like half a million, okay
[21:51.700 -> 21:53.700] Maybe that facts right off that if it's
[21:56.020 -> 22:02.120] If it's a hundred and forty thousand for just one day then I don't know that's pretty nice still that's still madness
[22:02.120 -> 22:04.900] That's a lot of people is question two in
[22:06.120 -> 22:06.480] That's still madness. That's a lot of people. It is. Question two. In 2018,
[22:13.040 -> 22:13.720] Sebastian Vettel won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, becoming the first Ferrari driver to do so. Since who?
[22:16.840 -> 22:17.560] In 2013. Got multiple choice. In 2013.
[22:21.320 -> 22:21.720] 2018. In 2018, Sebastian Vettel won it. He won the British GP.
[22:25.440 -> 22:25.800] The first Ferrari driver to do so since Fernando Alonso
[22:29.480 -> 22:31.560] Kimi Raikkonen Michael Schumacher or Felipe Massa
[22:37.320 -> 22:38.520] I'm gonna go Raikkonen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, don't want a bit longer to think about times
[22:40.520 -> 22:43.240] Yeah
[22:45.700 -> 22:46.540] Confident yeah, it's wrong. I thought so.
[22:46.540 -> 22:48.240] It was Fernando Alonso.
[22:48.240 -> 22:50.320] I was going to say Felipe Massa.
[22:51.320 -> 22:52.600] I probably would have said him too.
[22:52.600 -> 22:54.000] Yeah, I thought it was Felipe Massa,
[22:54.000 -> 22:54.840] but then I thought-
[22:54.840 -> 22:56.480] No reason other than just picking a random one.
[22:56.480 -> 22:58.080] Then I thought you would have thrown someone in there
[22:58.080 -> 22:59.280] that didn't even drive a Ferrari
[22:59.280 -> 23:01.080] and I couldn't figure out who it was.
[23:02.160 -> 23:03.860] All right, question three.
[23:03.860 -> 23:05.120] This is one of our favorites.
[23:05.120 -> 23:05.960] Is it?
[23:05.960 -> 23:09.520] Yeah, how many gear changes in one lap at Silverstone?
[23:09.520 -> 23:10.360] Right.
[23:10.360 -> 23:11.200] Marble choice.
[23:11.200 -> 23:12.440] Yeah, yeah, obviously I need marble choice, bro.
[23:12.440 -> 23:13.280] Yeah.
[23:13.280 -> 23:17.200] 34, 40, 56, or 62.
[23:17.200 -> 23:18.760] Blimey, four marble choices.
[23:18.760 -> 23:19.680] Yeah, I went in.
[23:19.680 -> 23:20.640] What are they again?
[23:20.640 -> 23:24.720] 34, 40, 56, or 62.
[23:31.400 -> 23:37.320] again? 34, 40, 56 or 62? I'm going bang in with 40 gear changes for the Silverstone circuit. What makes you think that? The gradient of the track. Yeah
[23:37.320 -> 23:41.480] I'm just judging by like, I'm thinking about the weather. Chicanes.
[23:41.480 -> 23:49.320] Okay less gear changes in the rain. yeah because of you know tires and it's England high chance it rains yeah yeah
[23:49.320 -> 23:54.320] I'm just gonna go 40 all right I don't know mate this is a guess I can't even
[23:54.320 -> 23:56.880] remember what the other ones were I can't remember what Monaco was or what
[23:56.880 -> 24:00.720] the other one was. It doesn't give me any indication I have no idea.
[24:00.720 -> 24:04.960] It would make sense Monaco's smaller track right and that had like 50 odd so it
[24:04.960 -> 24:09.140] would make sense for Silverstone to have less. Yeah, because Monaco's got more corners
[24:09.200 -> 24:15.440] Yeah, so you have to change up and down more because it's so tight just like that. Yeah. Yeah, you were right. It's 40
[24:15.440 -> 24:22.400] Yeah, oh cheers mate. 40 gear changes in one single lap. Did you guys listen and get that because if you didn't I
[24:23.200 -> 24:25.640] Know more about Formula One than you.
[24:25.640 -> 24:26.640] And that is embarrassing.
[24:26.640 -> 24:29.880] And that is seriously seriously embarrassing.
[24:29.880 -> 24:31.880] How long is the track?
[24:31.880 -> 24:37.120] Some funny shit just happened and we had to cut it.
[24:37.120 -> 24:38.120] What?
[24:38.120 -> 24:41.760] I just said some funny shit just happened and we had to cut it and that's why we're
[24:41.760 -> 24:48.440] laughing. How long is the track? 5.89 kilometers, 6.21 kilometers, or 7.65 kilometers?
[24:51.280 -> 24:52.200] It's quite a big one.
[24:52.200 -> 24:54.520] Remember, this is one of the longest tracks behind Spa.
[24:54.520 -> 24:55.880] Yeah, that is a big one, yeah.
[24:55.880 -> 24:57.640] So I'm gonna, if it's bigger,
[24:57.640 -> 25:00.040] I'm just gonna go for the biggest one, 7.6.
[25:00.040 -> 25:01.000] Wrong.
[25:01.000 -> 25:01.920] Ah, cheers, man.
[25:01.920 -> 25:03.280] Yeah, 5.89.
[25:03.280 -> 25:04.760] So is that miles?
[25:04.760 -> 25:06.640] KM. Okay, so what does that convert
[25:06.640 -> 25:13.840] to to miles? Roughly 3.88. Okay, cool, cool. So a lap time at Silverstone you're probably
[25:13.840 -> 25:18.400] looking at about what, 1.27? How did I know that? Shake my hand. You've been listening
[25:18.400 -> 25:22.160] and in maths haven't you? How did I know that? So a lap time at Silverstone is probably like
[25:22.160 -> 25:26.400] 1.27? I would say roughly 1.24
[25:26.400 -> 25:28.720] until Verstappen did it recently at 1.17.
[25:28.720 -> 25:29.560] Yeah.
[25:29.560 -> 25:30.800] How did I know that too?
[25:30.800 -> 25:32.280] Give me a high five.
[25:32.280 -> 25:33.680] You got that all in front of you.
[25:33.680 -> 25:35.640] It's probably still wrong.
[25:35.640 -> 25:37.200] I don't have it in front of me.
[25:37.200 -> 25:38.020] Just really smart.
[25:38.020 -> 25:40.320] Verstappen did win it last year though, didn't he?
[25:40.320 -> 25:41.160] Yeah.
[25:41.160 -> 25:42.000] No, he didn't, did he?
[25:42.000 -> 25:42.820] Nope.
[25:42.820 -> 25:43.660] Hamilton won it last year.
[25:43.660 -> 25:46.200] Yeah, I thought so. Was that one of your questions?
[25:47.880 -> 25:55.200] Who won at Silverstone in 2019 where they were they didn't race there in the other years 2019 Cove it wouldn't it 2019?
[25:55.200 -> 25:57.640] Oh, no, they race there last year 2019
[26:03.520 -> 26:10.320] I don't know Lewis Hamilton wins there a lot. Lewis Hamilton then. I don't know mate.
[26:10.320 -> 26:15.160] Are you sure? Stop! I didn't want to do a quiz today. I wasn't ready. Well you should
[26:15.160 -> 26:19.200] be ready. This is your job now. You have to be ready at all times. Ok, Lewis Hamilton.
[26:19.200 -> 26:22.560] You shouldn't even have to get ready. It should just be on your brain already. It's not there
[26:22.560 -> 26:27.600] mate. Not there yet. Well, I think it is because you just got it right
[26:28.120 -> 26:33.320] all right extra points though what was the what was the podium that year Lewis
[26:33.320 -> 26:39.160] Hamilton Verstappen and Leclerc you got Verstappen wrong with Leclerc was bang
[26:39.160 -> 26:44.600] on oh yeah my bad it wasn't Verstappen oh stupid me DNF'd it's the race that
[26:44.600 -> 26:45.880] Lewis Hamilton span him out
[26:45.880 -> 26:47.520] and he went straight into the sandbags.
[26:47.520 -> 26:48.360] Do you remember?
[26:48.360 -> 26:49.640] He had that really big crash.
[26:49.640 -> 26:51.120] That was at Silverstone, Verstappen.
[26:51.120 -> 26:51.960] 2019.
[26:51.960 -> 26:53.720] Um, was it Norris?
[26:53.720 -> 26:54.560] No.
[26:56.480 -> 26:57.560] Oh, it was Bottas.
[26:57.560 -> 26:58.400] Yeah.
[26:58.400 -> 26:59.220] Yeah, I've thought so.
[26:59.220 -> 27:01.200] I can see how you would have got mixed up with that one.
[27:01.200 -> 27:02.240] I can see.
[27:02.240 -> 27:03.960] I was thinking, please, think back to Drive to Survive.
[27:03.960 -> 27:05.000] Think back to Drive to Survive. That's my only hope. We need to Survive, think back to Drive to Survive.
[27:05.000 -> 27:09.200] That's my only hope. We need to watch that again. Yeah, Drive to Survive from the beginning.
[27:09.200 -> 27:11.960] I feel like that'd be a great idea. Because the first like one or two seasons I was so
[27:11.960 -> 27:15.800] bewildered and still didn't know what was going on. Now that I feel like I'm comfortable,
[27:15.800 -> 27:27.880] we should watch it again. It'll help us understand a lot as well. Alright, last question. Okay. That win at Silverstone for Hamilton in 2019 marked how many British GP wins?
[27:30.160 -> 27:32.160] Okay, multiple choice
[27:34.160 -> 27:38.480] Just go I just asked that when you say last year we talking last year 2021
[27:38.840 -> 27:46.320] No, no that year 2019 2019 when he won have they raised their sins? When Hamilton won it, at the time, in 2019,
[27:46.320 -> 27:53.280] when Hamilton won, how many times had he won it, Britain? Oh god, how am I gonna know that?
[27:53.280 -> 28:01.920] Where's my watch? Oh yeah right, okay. You ready? Yeah. Three, four, five, or six. Cheers mate,
[28:01.920 -> 28:05.000] that's great, that's like going one, two, three, four, five, six, or seven. Three, four, five, six, seven.
[28:05.000 -> 28:06.000] So it's under seven, and it's above two.
[28:06.000 -> 28:07.000] Or eight.
[28:07.000 -> 28:08.000] No, look, okay.
[28:08.000 -> 28:09.000] This isn't even my choice.
[28:09.000 -> 28:10.000] You're just taking the piss out of me now.
[28:10.000 -> 28:11.000] Three, four, five, six, seven.
[28:11.000 -> 28:12.000] He's won the championship seven times.
[28:12.000 -> 28:13.000] Or eight, yeah.
[28:13.000 -> 28:14.000] He's won the championship seven times.
[28:14.000 -> 28:15.000] And did he win Silverstone every one of those times?
[28:15.000 -> 28:16.000] No.
[28:16.000 -> 28:17.000] No way.
[28:17.000 -> 28:18.000] No, he didn't.
[28:18.000 -> 28:19.000] But there's been a lot of people who have said, like, I'm not going to do it.
[28:19.000 -> 28:20.000] I'm not going to do it.
[28:20.000 -> 28:21.000] I'm not going to do it.
[28:21.000 -> 28:22.000] I'm not going to do it.
[28:22.000 -> 28:23.000] I'm not going to do it.
[28:23.000 -> 28:24.000] I'm not going to do it.
[28:24.000 -> 28:26.040] I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. four five six seven championship seven time or eight yeah from the championship seven times did he when it did he win silverstone
[28:26.040 -> 28:29.880] everyone else times no way now there's
[28:29.880 -> 28:31.120] been a few years when he didn't win the
[28:31.120 -> 28:32.680] champion exactly and he still did well
[28:32.680 -> 28:34.520] still could have won the silverstone I
[28:34.520 -> 28:36.600] reckon he's won it five times and I
[28:36.600 -> 28:37.840] reckon if he wins this time it'll be a
[28:37.840 -> 28:42.200] six what's that's powerful what she
[28:42.200 -> 28:44.240] think that just feel that's a good like
[28:44.240 -> 28:48.000] middle ground of how many races he's had there in his career.
[28:48.000 -> 28:53.000] Like one. It could be a lot more. I feel like there might have been a lot he's on the podium.
[28:53.000 -> 28:54.000] Could be eight.
[28:54.000 -> 28:58.000] Maybe he's been on the podium like eight times, but I reckon he's won five.
[28:58.000 -> 29:00.000] I actually missed out one of the multiple choices.
[29:00.000 -> 29:01.000] What was it?
[29:01.000 -> 29:02.000] Nine.
[29:02.000 -> 29:04.000] You cannot say it was nine now.
[29:04.000 -> 29:06.000] Three, four, five, six, seven, eight or nine.
[29:06.000 -> 29:08.000] So I'm still going with five.
[29:08.000 -> 29:09.000] Yeah?
[29:09.000 -> 29:10.000] Yeah.
[29:10.000 -> 29:11.000] You sure?
[29:11.000 -> 29:12.000] Yeah.
[29:12.000 -> 29:13.000] Six.
[29:13.000 -> 29:14.000] No!
[29:14.000 -> 29:15.000] I was going to say six as well.
[29:15.000 -> 29:17.000] That's impressive, at one track.
[29:17.000 -> 29:18.000] Yeah, six victories.
[29:18.000 -> 29:20.000] At one track is pretty monstrous.
[29:20.000 -> 29:23.000] I feel like he needs to win it now to get a bit more morale boost.
[29:23.000 -> 29:25.720] If Lewis Hamilton wins Silverstone this
[29:25.720 -> 29:30.880] Weekend, okay, you will get a Lewis Hamilton. I will do something crazy on your bum cheek
[29:30.880 -> 29:35.020] No, I'm still waiting for the Schumacher. So that stands any points for Schumacher
[29:35.020 -> 29:36.640] I'll get a tattoo so
[29:36.640 -> 29:40.240] Everyone knows that now and everyone needs to be reminded that if Bottas wins, right?
[29:40.240 -> 29:45.000] So I'm about to get his I know so close to points. It was so painful. Yeah.
[29:45.000 -> 29:47.500] Oh, and also quickly whilst we're here,
[29:47.500 -> 29:50.500] um, shout out to Cara...
[29:51.500 -> 29:53.000] Cara Balfe.
[29:53.000 -> 29:54.000] Balfe, sorry.
[29:54.000 -> 29:55.000] Oh, that was...
[29:55.000 -> 29:56.000] Cara Balfe.
[29:56.000 -> 29:56.500] I don't...
[29:56.500 -> 29:57.500] I can't pronounce it.
[29:57.500 -> 29:58.000] Yeah.
[29:58.500 -> 29:59.500] She sent us a question the other day.
[29:59.500 -> 30:00.500] That was a shit show.
[30:00.500 -> 30:03.000] And I said that I would answer it on Sunday's pod,
[30:03.000 -> 30:04.000] and I forgot to do it,
[30:04.000 -> 30:06.620] so we're just gonna answer it together quick quick voice night, okay
[30:09.420 -> 30:12.800] If there is one race from the calendar you could delete
[30:13.280 -> 30:15.280] Which one would it be?
[30:15.940 -> 30:19.600] Also your guys podcast is the best one out there. Just saying
[30:20.280 -> 30:25.880] Rui best podcast out there. Just saying oh, really what a minute. That's a good accent. Thank you
[30:25.880 -> 30:30.720] That's a good. That's yeah, what the track will be delete and why I would probably delete
[30:32.360 -> 30:34.360] Is it is it
[30:34.560 -> 30:35.680] Saudi
[30:35.680 -> 30:40.600] Really really tight really dangerous. Oh, I don't know where I would delete I
[30:41.240 -> 30:46.640] Don't know. I mean, I'm just judging from the game and I think I'm
[30:46.640 -> 30:53.280] lying I'd probably delete Imola as Italy already has two yeah it can keep Monza
[30:53.280 -> 30:58.240] Imola is a little bit yeah outdated a little bit a bit of me like after
[30:58.240 -> 31:04.080] watching Monaco though your figure don't say it don't say it don't say it no bit
[31:04.080 -> 31:05.740] of me doesn't want it deleted.
[31:05.740 -> 31:07.480] Like, I think it could maybe be there.
[31:07.480 -> 31:08.320] Deleted.
[31:08.320 -> 31:10.160] Just deleted.
[31:10.160 -> 31:11.960] I just think something's gotta change.
[31:11.960 -> 31:14.760] Like, I actually loved your idea of the bridge.
[31:14.760 -> 31:15.600] Imagine just a bridge.
[31:15.600 -> 31:16.920] Well, do you know that they're actually,
[31:16.920 -> 31:18.560] in 2026, they're actually,
[31:18.560 -> 31:19.720] some of the regs that are changing,
[31:19.720 -> 31:21.340] they're gonna try and make the car smaller again.
[31:21.340 -> 31:22.180] Oh, really?
[31:22.180 -> 31:25.040] So maybe, look, Monaco could go for a couple of years and
[31:25.040 -> 31:31.360] come back in 2026. Yeah I don't think I'd want to remove Monaco. I think I'd want to remove
[31:31.360 -> 31:34.800] one of them really tight ones on the game where I just kind of, what's that one we're doing at
[31:34.800 -> 31:38.400] the moment? This one we're doing right now, I can't get around that corner. America. America,
[31:38.400 -> 31:41.680] why do these American tracks I cannot get around the corners? Those sweeping turns are in...
[31:42.480 -> 31:45.000] Save that one for the, just get rid of that one for the sake of me.
[31:45.000 -> 31:46.000] Yeah.
[31:46.000 -> 31:48.000] The new F1 game's out soon as well.
[31:48.000 -> 31:52.000] It's coming out. We may or may not be playing it.
[31:52.000 -> 31:57.000] Yeah, we may do some online games, giving you guys a chance to absolutely slap us because we're terrible.
[31:57.000 -> 32:02.000] We've had a load of people saying they want us to join their lobbies or they want us to make a lobby and play with us, so...
[32:02.000 -> 32:07.980] If we did a lobby and we opened it up to everyone and you could like sign up and 20 people could play each week or something and it was a
[32:07.980 -> 32:11.700] proper like World Cup series. Yeah all we need is 18 people. That's what I mean DM
[32:11.700 -> 32:15.300] us on Pitstop Instagram at Pitstop and tell us if you want us to do that
[32:15.300 -> 32:18.060] because we need to start trying to figure it out because we don't know how
[32:18.060 -> 32:22.220] to do this stuff like I don't have any idea how to set up a lobby or any of that stuff.
[32:22.220 -> 32:25.240] Well we've done it. We've done it with us two. Yeah we've done it between us but that's just two players.
[32:25.240 -> 32:26.480] I think we just invite people in.
[32:26.480 -> 32:27.480] Yeah.
[32:27.480 -> 32:30.840] But yeah the new game is going to be incredible, cannot wait to get our hands on that, cannot
[32:30.840 -> 32:32.440] wait to start playing it.
[32:32.440 -> 32:36.920] The next time you guys hear from us is probably going to be with this guest which is pretty
[32:36.920 -> 32:40.440] crazy because you know when we intro the next pod we're going to be sat across the table
[32:40.440 -> 32:41.440] from-
[32:41.440 -> 32:43.600] We get so excited about every guest.
[32:43.600 -> 32:45.880] But I think for F1 fans, particularly
[32:45.880 -> 32:51.720] Pitstop fans, this is going to be like the fucking massive one. And the timing of it.
[32:51.720 -> 32:57.800] It's mega. Great timing. Everyone's going to think it's Lewis Hamilton. Might be. No,
[32:57.800 -> 33:04.760] no, don't get too excited. It's not Lewis Hamilton. Or is it? No, they're going to think
[33:04.760 -> 33:05.280] it is.
[33:05.280 -> 33:08.120] Luis are in the pod now because he's getting a bit out of hand. Oh yeah we've got to put this up.

[33:46.120 -> 33:48.960] We could bring a little ice cream van and start selling ice cream outside the track.
