[01:34.480 -> 01:35.480] He had a little chat with Martin Brandl.
[01:35.480 -> 01:37.600] And I was really hoping they'd bring out Deontay Wilder.

[01:39.600 -> 01:40.600] Yeah, you Dossa!
[01:40.600 -> 01:43.600] We're out here on the F1 grid, you Dossa!
[01:43.600 -> 01:45.600] He just starts scrapping it out.
[01:53.600 -> 01:59.600] Ladies and gents, welcome back once again to the Kidstub Podcast.
[01:59.600 -> 02:01.200] Very nice, very nice.
[02:01.200 -> 02:03.200] I'm starting to run out of ideas, mate.
[02:03.200 -> 02:05.320] It's okay, today's not the race weekend one,
[02:05.320 -> 02:07.240] so you can save all your energy for Thursday.
[02:07.240 -> 02:08.960] No, I'm just running out of intros.
[02:08.960 -> 02:09.800] Oh, really?
[02:09.800 -> 02:12.080] How many times can you intro the Pit Stop podcast
[02:12.080 -> 02:14.800] in a different way and make it exciting and thrilling?
[02:14.800 -> 02:15.640] You can't.
[02:15.640 -> 02:16.460] Well, there's a challenge for you.
[02:16.460 -> 02:17.800] On Thursday, I want you to come back
[02:17.800 -> 02:20.820] with something completely unique.
[02:20.820 -> 02:22.720] I thought about writing a rap.
[02:22.720 -> 02:23.560] Did you?
[02:23.560 -> 02:24.380] I thought about it.
[02:24.380 -> 02:26.000] Mexican style?
[02:26.000 -> 02:28.000] Because we've got a big Mexican Grand Prix coming up, don't we?
[02:28.000 -> 02:30.000] We do.
[02:30.000 -> 02:32.000] And maybe some breaking news coming from Checo. Probably not.
[02:32.000 -> 02:36.000] No, no. I don't believe there's going to be any breaking news coming from Checo.
[02:36.000 -> 02:38.000] But happy Monday, everyone.
[02:38.000 -> 02:40.000] Hope everyone has a fantastic week.
[02:40.000 -> 02:42.000] The American Grand Prix is over.
[02:42.000 -> 02:46.700] And boy, oh boy, do we have some juicy little bits to talk about.
[02:46.700 -> 02:47.900] We had another sprint weekend.
[02:47.900 -> 02:49.500] We did have another sprint weekend.
[02:49.500 -> 02:50.500] What do you think of the sprint?
[02:50.500 -> 02:52.500] Sprint was great. Sprint was great.
[02:52.500 -> 02:56.400] Um, I'm still in the boat of they need to do something different with it.
[02:56.400 -> 02:57.900] I think reverse grid it.
[02:57.900 -> 03:00.000] I do love the thought of sprint weekends.
[03:00.000 -> 03:05.100] I think it makes the race more exciting and more happening over the weekend at all of the tracks
[03:05.280 -> 03:11.160] But I think either make it separate and reverse grid or just do something a little bit different with it
[03:11.980 -> 03:16.880] We missed the sprint because we hadn't seen our mates our hometown friends
[03:16.880 -> 03:18.760] We hadn't seen him for the whole year. Mm-hmm
[03:18.760 -> 03:21.640] That's you the whole year and this weekend was the only weekend they could come up
[03:21.640 -> 03:24.740] So we went back and we watched it afterwards, which is quite nice actually
[03:21.720 -> 03:23.780] this weekend was the only weekend they could come up. So we went back and we watched it afterwards,
[03:23.780 -> 03:25.640] which is quite nice actually,
[03:25.640 -> 03:28.200] to kind of not have to watch the highlights.
[03:28.200 -> 03:30.200] They showed the whole thing on TV before the race.
[03:30.200 -> 03:31.920] Yeah, no, absolutely perfect.
[03:31.920 -> 03:33.840] Our friends, which you spoke about in the last pod,
[03:33.840 -> 03:35.360] the ones that we're not sure whether they're actually
[03:35.360 -> 03:37.760] our friends or not, they came up, we went out,
[03:37.760 -> 03:39.200] went to Blue's Kitchen in Shoreditch,
[03:39.200 -> 03:41.200] had a little bit of a dance, had some drinks.
[03:41.200 -> 03:42.800] It was good to see them.
[03:42.800 -> 03:44.320] It's interesting because they don't talk
[03:44.320 -> 03:46.000] about Formula One once. It would be like
[03:46.000 -> 03:48.000] it's not even on is it? It doesn't even
[03:48.000 -> 03:50.000] cross their radar. They went on the sim though.
[03:50.000 -> 03:52.000] They did all go on the sim. And do you know what?
[03:52.000 -> 03:54.000] I had the settings on from like the medium
[03:54.000 -> 03:56.000] traction and the gears on. Jake Smith
[03:56.000 -> 03:58.000] just stepped on it without battering
[03:58.000 -> 04:00.000] an eyelid and just stomped
[04:00.000 -> 04:02.000] a lap around Austria. So what we saying?
[04:02.000 -> 04:04.000] Potentially Jake Smith could be...
[04:04.000 -> 04:05.680] Potentially an F4 driver maybe.
[04:05.680 -> 04:08.840] Oh, breaking news, breaking news everybody!
[04:08.840 -> 04:12.720] Logan Sargent has got his first Formula 1 points!
[04:12.720 -> 04:13.720] Let's go!
[04:13.720 -> 04:20.440] What a machine, that's double points for Williams and I guess you could argue it's come because
[04:20.440 -> 04:24.160] of a disqualification but let's not make it sad.
[04:24.160 -> 04:27.000] I mean, at least he got points in Austin
[04:27.000 -> 04:29.000] It's a shame he didn't get them when he finished
[04:29.000 -> 04:32.000] He had to post a picture on his flight afterwards, did you see it?
[04:32.000 -> 04:33.000] Yeah
[04:33.000 -> 04:34.000] But he's gassed though
[04:34.000 -> 04:37.000] What a strange, strange race
[04:37.000 -> 04:42.000] Now as we know Leclerc and Hamilton have both been disqualified
[04:42.000 -> 04:46.240] which means the podium spots completely changed,
[04:46.240 -> 04:47.240] which is great.
[04:47.240 -> 04:51.720] You got Verstappen first, Norris second and Sainz third.
[04:51.720 -> 04:53.960] Straight into something I've seen from Tom Bellingham.
[04:53.960 -> 04:59.000] I'm going to call out Tom Bellingham here, but he does make a good point.
[04:59.000 -> 05:00.000] He says...
[05:00.000 -> 05:01.000] You calling him out?
[05:01.000 -> 05:02.000] You want to fight him?
[05:02.000 -> 05:10.960] I would fight Tom Bellingham, but I'm not calling him out to fight him. He says the fact only four cars get checked and half of them were illegal makes you wonder
[05:10.960 -> 05:13.680] what other cars would have failed this.
[05:13.680 -> 05:15.680] Surely it can't just be bad luck or luck of the draw.
[05:15.680 -> 05:16.960] He makes a good point.
[05:16.960 -> 05:22.440] If only four cars are checked and two of them are disqualified, if they had checked the
[05:22.440 -> 05:26.000] whole grid yesterday, I wonder how many cars would have been disqualified if they had checked the whole grid yesterday I wonder how many
[05:26.000 -> 05:29.800] cars would have been disqualified like surely the other Mercedes probably
[05:29.800 -> 05:33.080] would have been I don't even know if they checked the other Mercedes or not
[05:33.080 -> 05:38.320] they don't even do it every race mate I mean I was just reading here right so
[05:38.320 -> 05:42.400] the standard procedure is that they'll be scrutinized after the race which I
[05:42.400 -> 05:47.880] think is kind of funny the fact that they'll be scrutineered after the race, which I think is kind of funny. The fact that they'll celebrate their whole podium and get it whisked away straight away.
[05:47.880 -> 05:52.880] But not all 20 cars are checked. So apparently after the Japanese Grand Prix, no cars were
[05:52.880 -> 05:53.880] checked.
[05:53.880 -> 05:55.880] So how does that work then?
[05:55.880 -> 06:00.160] One car was looked at after the Qatar Sprint and then three cars that were assessed in
[06:00.160 -> 06:04.240] the immediate aftermath of the full length Qatar feature Grand Prix. But yes, they're
[06:04.240 -> 06:05.720] not always checked.
[06:05.720 -> 06:09.640] Because also, these cars, we know how intricate
[06:09.640 -> 06:11.720] Formula One is to the second.
[06:11.720 -> 06:13.560] Are you telling me that like,
[06:13.560 -> 06:17.700] Toto Wolff had no idea that they were using the wrong,
[06:17.700 -> 06:19.800] what's it even called, plank?
[06:19.800 -> 06:20.640] What's-
[06:20.640 -> 06:21.460] The plank underneath, sorry,
[06:21.460 -> 06:22.800] I'm eating a beautiful plate of pasta.
[06:22.800 -> 06:24.400] You're telling me they weren't aware
[06:24.400 -> 06:29.200] they were using the wrong plank, for then Hamilton to go out on the podium after and go
[06:29.200 -> 06:34.560] oh great work to everyone back at the factory well done team even he must have known. I think what it
[06:34.560 -> 06:40.160] is is that the plank's the same I think they lower the car more okay to make it quicker but then the
[06:40.160 -> 06:43.760] plank obviously scrapes along the ground more. But you're only allowed to lower it so much.
[06:42.160 -> 06:44.760] but then the plank obviously scrapes along the ground. But you're only allowed to lower it so much.
[06:44.760 -> 06:47.720] Yeah, so there's only supposed to be
[06:47.720 -> 06:50.720] like a 10 millimeter wear.
[06:50.720 -> 06:53.680] So one centimeter of wear on the plank underneath.
[06:53.680 -> 06:55.100] Because it's a wooden plank,
[06:55.100 -> 06:57.360] but it has pieces of metal inside it.
[06:57.360 -> 07:00.440] So if you can see those, so you can smell the metal.
[07:00.440 -> 07:02.880] Apparently if a car pulls in after a race,
[07:02.880 -> 07:06.920] you can smell the metal in the pit lane. It's a bit suspicious and you need to check it out.
[07:06.920 -> 07:07.920] Oh really?
[07:07.920 -> 07:08.920] Yeah.
[07:08.920 -> 07:11.800] Well, Damon Hill says we need to think of a new word for it because plank doesn't sound
[07:11.800 -> 07:13.920] anywhere near as professional enough for Formula 1.
[07:13.920 -> 07:15.620] And I'm with Damon Hill.
[07:15.620 -> 07:19.840] So what should we re-word that bit of wood that goes under it?
[07:19.840 -> 07:22.840] I feel like it needs something new.
[07:22.840 -> 07:26.080] I mean, plank is kind of boring.
[07:26.080 -> 07:27.760] It is kind of boring, maybe we'll have to think about it.
[07:27.760 -> 07:29.120] Surfboard?
[07:29.120 -> 07:32.320] Maybe each car can have a little surfboard under it.
[07:32.320 -> 07:33.840] I don't know, maybe we'll think about that
[07:33.840 -> 07:34.680] and come back to it.
[07:34.680 -> 07:35.500] We'll come back to it next episode.
[07:35.500 -> 07:37.000] But we'll definitely rename it.
[07:37.000 -> 07:40.240] But yeah, for a bit, I did think Lando Norris
[07:40.240 -> 07:42.480] was gonna get his first ever Formula One win.
[07:43.480 -> 07:45.040] And then it just went away with race pace.
[07:46.240 -> 07:50.880] He went a bit hard in the beginning didn't he? Well he had no choice, he had no choice but to
[07:50.880 -> 07:55.280] get as far away from Max as possible with different strategies. But that that done his tires in.
[07:55.920 -> 08:02.080] See at a point I thought he might be going for a one-stop. He was, he was trying for a one-stop.
[08:02.080 -> 08:05.400] But annoyingly he didn't have another pair of mediums.
[08:05.400 -> 08:10.200] So he swapped back onto the hards, which is where Hamilton was really quick at the end.
[08:10.200 -> 08:14.400] Like, hands down, great race from Hamilton. That is exciting for Mercedes.
[08:14.400 -> 08:16.600] Hamilton was absolutely flying.
[08:16.600 -> 08:18.600] Yeah, two or three more, two more laps I reckon.
[08:18.600 -> 08:21.200] And that was just hards versus the mediums. Max was on the hards.
[08:21.200 -> 08:23.600] I mean, you have to give credit where credit's due.
[08:23.600 -> 08:27.600] Quite clearly, a lot of the cars were better at the front and max was still
[08:27.600 -> 08:32.080] able to come from fifth put in a pretty perfect race and get away with the win
[08:32.080 -> 08:35.960] so credit where credit's due max Verstappen. For a start Charles Leclerc
[08:35.960 -> 08:41.200] started on pole the Ferraris just didn't have it this weekend they just didn't
[08:41.200 -> 08:44.280] really have the pace to be honest they were getting overtaken left right and
[08:44.280 -> 08:45.080] center Norris shot off the line he must have some natural ability with and they just didn't really have the pace, to be honest. They were getting overtaken left, right and center.
[08:45.080 -> 08:47.520] Norris shot off the line.
[08:47.520 -> 08:49.920] He must have some natural ability with clutch control
[08:49.920 -> 08:50.920] cause he shot off the line.
[08:50.920 -> 08:54.000] Like Freddie Gunn, cause he shot off the line.
[08:54.000 -> 08:54.840] I shot off the line.
[08:54.840 -> 08:56.200] I might.
[08:56.200 -> 08:57.960] Either way, yeah, he smashed it
[08:57.960 -> 08:59.600] and took the lead of the race.
[08:59.600 -> 09:03.020] But I was like, I think everyone was expecting Max
[09:03.020 -> 09:05.600] to just be like, pew pew pew, stop chipping away.
[09:05.600 -> 09:10.160] But no, he's definitely become more of a patient driver.
[09:10.160 -> 09:12.080] He's changing a lot as a driver, isn't he?
[09:12.080 -> 09:12.900] You can see it.
[09:12.900 -> 09:15.720] In the rare occasion that he doesn't start first,
[09:15.720 -> 09:18.800] he will take his time because for some,
[09:18.800 -> 09:21.320] I think it's the way the Red Bulls designed
[09:21.320 -> 09:22.480] the wear on the tires.
[09:22.480 -> 09:24.120] They just don't get no wear.
[09:24.120 -> 09:27.560] Do you know it's how much they show his radios of him swearing?
[09:27.560 -> 09:32.880] They show Max swearing like every radio and I guarantee that every other driver is also
[09:32.880 -> 09:34.200] swearing on their radio.
[09:34.200 -> 09:38.840] But they just won't show it because the teams will get the choice of what gets aired on
[09:38.840 -> 09:50.180] TV and TV will get the choice of obviously what they want to air so The British TV is obviously airing max swearing all the time and then always airing
[09:50.280 -> 09:52.280] Hamilton doing something or saying something nice
[09:52.280 -> 09:57.640] It's so back to front you could never have a national treasure like George Russell swearing, you know
[09:57.640 -> 10:04.000] He does we know he does when he crashed when he hit the wall when he was chasing Norris down. He crashed then
[10:02.600 -> 10:04.880] when he hit the wall when he was chasing Norris down. He crashed then.
[10:04.880 -> 10:06.480] So we know it happens,
[10:06.480 -> 10:09.860] but I don't like the way they always are max swearing.
[10:09.860 -> 10:11.560] Like it's clear he was having a problem
[10:11.560 -> 10:13.160] with his brakes or whatever.
[10:13.160 -> 10:15.120] But the reason I say that is because,
[10:15.120 -> 10:16.720] yeah, I mean, it's interesting,
[10:16.720 -> 10:18.300] but if you're gonna do it, do it with everyone,
[10:18.300 -> 10:20.160] because it comes down to after the race.
[10:20.160 -> 10:22.040] That's why he gets booed.
[10:22.040 -> 10:22.880] Like when you have-
[10:22.880 -> 10:24.200] He did get booed.
[10:24.200 -> 10:26.500] Yeah, he did get booed and they were all chanting Checo, weren't they?
[10:26.500 -> 10:28.000] Yeah, and that's because it's that side of the world.
[10:28.000 -> 10:30.000] Like, don't get me wrong, in Mexico,
[10:30.000 -> 10:33.000] Verstappen is probably going to be like the biggest villain.
[10:33.000 -> 10:36.000] Which is crazy, considering they're both at Red Bull.
[10:36.000 -> 10:37.000] Yeah.
[10:37.000 -> 10:38.000] And they were down south.
[10:38.000 -> 10:40.500] They were in like the southern part of America, like, so.
[10:40.500 -> 10:43.000] The southern part of North America, which is closer to Mexico.
[10:43.000 -> 10:44.000] So there's probably-
[10:44.000 -> 10:45.320] Apparently there's a lot of Mexican fans there
[10:45.320 -> 10:50.940] We're yeah, I'm Brer. Well, they were trying to check her when Max is on the podium. I like I honestly like it, mate
[10:50.940 -> 10:53.400] I like all that stuff, you know, like here in Lewis
[10:54.260 -> 10:59.960] Lewis was saying after he got disqualified. He was like, well, you know doesn't take away from the race or anything like that
[10:59.960 -> 11:02.280] We learned a lot this race and I think fuck that
[11:02.280 -> 11:05.040] I want I want someone to go in that pen and
[11:05.240 -> 11:11.760] Rip the house down and throw the toys out of the pram and say this is bullshit and stop boxing all the mics
[11:11.760 -> 11:16.280] And every to be fair. I've just drove for two hours risk my life out there and you gave me a car
[11:16.280 -> 11:22.640] That's not even yeah, I'd be pissed as well. I want to see Lewis Hamilton and total wolf just having it out in the room
[11:22.640 -> 11:25.280] I don't think it's ever gonna happen. I don't think it's ever going to happen. No.
[11:25.280 -> 11:27.200] And Toto would spank him as well.
[11:27.200 -> 11:29.480] I'm a fan of the swearing from the drivers
[11:29.480 -> 11:31.400] and showing the realness on TV and that,
[11:31.400 -> 11:34.900] but I don't think the booing is very necessary.
[11:34.900 -> 11:37.600] I mean, the Geyser's a three-time world champion,
[11:37.600 -> 11:39.360] has just won his 50th Grand Prix.
[11:39.360 -> 11:42.080] He's young, he's younger than us,
[11:42.080 -> 11:44.360] and he's risking his life week in, week out
[11:44.360 -> 11:49.520] to get on a podium and be booed I think that's quite does it Max Verstappen really deserve to
[11:49.520 -> 11:54.720] be booed mate he's just very good. Definitely not, to digress from the race slightly before the
[11:54.720 -> 11:59.600] race we were watching sim clips of Max on the sim yes and then I was watching
[11:59.600 -> 12:02.320] him and Lando I don't know what I think they're playing iRacing or something
[12:02.320 -> 12:05.440] like that around Spa and obviously Max was ahead yeah, I think they're playing iRacing or something like that around Spa. And obviously Max was ahead.
[12:05.440 -> 12:06.480] Yeah.
[12:06.480 -> 12:08.520] I'm assuming they're in equal cars.
[12:08.520 -> 12:10.840] And Lando was keeping with them the whole time,
[12:10.840 -> 12:12.360] but there was no chance,
[12:12.360 -> 12:13.820] there was never a point in this
[12:13.820 -> 12:16.080] where Lando was nearly overtaking him.
[12:16.080 -> 12:20.760] So I think even someone like Lando knows that Max,
[12:20.760 -> 12:28.240] he just has that extra 2% above the rest of the grid. Yeah, he definitely does. the grid Yeah, he does. He definitely puts it in as well though
[12:28.240 -> 12:33.520] He's probably working harder than the rest of the grid and Max was saying when he
[12:34.160 -> 12:38.960] Because sim racing is different to like real-life racing. He's a three-time world champion in real life
[12:38.960 -> 12:41.520] but when it comes to sim racing it's different and you have these like
[12:42.280 -> 12:47.020] These little gremlins they were like amazing on the sim not gremlins they're obviously amazing they're like
[12:47.020 -> 12:52.100] they win tournaments and stuff but they they're just a gremlin it's just a
[12:52.100 -> 13:00.620] basement everything like 10 years driver cracked yeah a max was saying how it's
[13:00.620 -> 13:07.000] hard for him to beat them it takes him know, longer than it would do in real life to get on their level.
[13:07.000 -> 13:09.000] He didn't say he loses.
[13:09.000 -> 13:16.000] No, but they can, if you're practicing the same track at home over and over again, that's why some racers, some sim racers would be unbelievable.
[13:16.000 -> 13:22.000] Like if we got a sim racer to come in on fastest lap, they'd probably knock off like a second or two.
[13:22.000 -> 13:26.280] Do you really think someone could get down to the 104s? Yeah, I reckon so.
[13:26.280 -> 13:29.200] If Pietro Fittipaldi can come sit on our sim
[13:29.200 -> 13:31.200] and he's never used this setup before
[13:31.200 -> 13:32.240] and go top like that,
[13:32.240 -> 13:34.640] I reckon someone who does this for like a,
[13:34.640 -> 13:37.760] who lives and breathes playing the F1 game on the Xbox
[13:37.760 -> 13:40.280] would come and absolutely slash that.
[13:40.280 -> 13:42.200] But then Pietro does always go in the sim,
[13:42.200 -> 13:43.360] but then it would be like a proper sim.
[13:43.360 -> 13:46.500] Well, no, the half sim is probably like a fucking Bucky Bronco. Pietro does play the F1 sim, but then it would be like a proper sim. Well, no, the Haas sim is probably like a fucking Bucky Bronco.
[13:46.500 -> 13:47.500] Pietro does play the F1 game.
[13:48.000 -> 13:49.500] He does play the F1 game.
[13:50.000 -> 13:52.500] The Haas sim is the Ferrari sim, remember.
[13:52.500 -> 13:57.500] The Haas sim is one of those bikes you get off fucking Facebook Marketplace for 20 quid.
[13:57.500 -> 13:59.500] The Haas sim is a Ferrari sim.
[13:59.500 -> 14:00.500] Oh, is it? Oh, of course it is.
[14:00.500 -> 14:02.500] Oh, it would be ledge then. It would be ledge, yeah, my bad.
[14:02.500 -> 14:06.500] Fernando Alonso had a good race. He didn't have the upgrades, Lance Stroll did,
[14:06.500 -> 14:09.300] but sadly Alonso did actually DNF at the end.
[14:09.300 -> 14:12.500] For a while, he looked like he was flying straight through.
[14:12.500 -> 14:16.000] He was really picking up places, considering he went back to the old car.
[14:16.000 -> 14:18.500] Piastri, yeah.
[14:18.500 -> 14:21.300] Very fucking sad for Piastri, collision with Ocon.
[14:21.300 -> 14:26.560] Yeah, right at the beginning, Ocon went out earlier, Piiastri tried to nurse it, but it just didn't happen.
[14:26.560 -> 14:30.000] Yeah, I saw him slowing, and it was just one of those.
[14:30.000 -> 14:31.640] It's a shame, because he's so good,
[14:31.640 -> 14:33.860] and I feel like he's had a couple of run-ins
[14:33.860 -> 14:35.800] with Carlos Sainz this year,
[14:35.800 -> 14:37.840] which I don't think they were really Oscar's fault.
[14:37.840 -> 14:41.240] No, Spa was his fault, like, when we went over this.
[14:41.240 -> 14:43.240] Oscar didn't leave the room.
[14:43.240 -> 14:45.700] I lick that guy's ass every single week
[14:45.700 -> 14:47.460] and say he's the best driver.
[14:47.460 -> 14:50.100] But Spar, he didn't leave the gap.
[14:50.100 -> 14:50.940] I disagree.
[14:50.940 -> 14:53.700] You can't just go up the inside like that.
[14:53.700 -> 14:55.340] That's like me in the game.
[14:55.340 -> 14:56.180] Yeah.
[14:56.180 -> 14:57.900] Yeah, but I drive like Oscar Piastri,
[14:57.900 -> 14:59.300] so that's why I went for it.
[14:59.300 -> 15:00.420] Maybe you should change your name.
[15:00.420 -> 15:02.380] But I don't think it was his fault with Ocon.
[15:02.380 -> 15:04.300] But I do find it interesting how McLaren
[15:04.300 -> 15:06.160] give Lando the upgrades every week first
[15:06.600 -> 15:12.680] Whenever McLaren have a new upgrade package, it's like right Lando can have it and the next race Oscar can have it as well
[15:12.680 -> 15:14.680] Well, then that'll change next year
[15:14.680 -> 15:18.520] By the way, how good was it to see Mark fucking Weber on the pre-race gridwalk?
[15:18.520 -> 15:23.880] Yeah, it was he actually does speak like Mark Weber. So it actually justifies why we say Mark Weber
[15:24.720 -> 15:25.200] It was good to see Mark Weber. He's killing it, mate speak like Mark Webber. So it actually justifies why we say Mark Webber.
[15:25.200 -> 15:26.440] It was good to see Mark Webber.
[15:26.440 -> 15:27.360] He's killing it, mate.
[15:27.360 -> 15:30.400] What a great addition to have as your talent,
[15:30.400 -> 15:31.360] if you're a manager.
[15:31.360 -> 15:35.840] It's nice to just have the grid walk broken up a little bit
[15:35.840 -> 15:37.680] with some just normal, to be fair,
[15:37.680 -> 15:39.160] the grid walk is kind of normal chat,
[15:39.160 -> 15:41.680] but you expect someone like Mark,
[15:41.680 -> 15:44.420] you hear the same stuff over and over again.
[15:44.420 -> 15:46.720] Whenever someone's being
[15:46.720 -> 15:52.000] interviewed, they're so boring and it's the same kind of media trained stuff.
[15:52.000 -> 15:57.800] But Mark just came out of the gates guns blazing and the way he was talking, it was like a
[15:57.800 -> 16:01.080] breath of fresh air to hear someone talk like that on the F1.
[16:01.080 -> 16:02.080] It was very casual.
[16:02.080 -> 16:04.840] Yeah, I'd like to have more from Mark, I think.
[16:04.840 -> 16:05.280] I think.
[16:05.280 -> 16:07.360] I think it would help Oscar's story as well,
[16:07.360 -> 16:10.900] because Oscar's not like the most out there person.
[16:10.900 -> 16:13.800] I think every time you hear from Oscar on TV,
[16:13.800 -> 16:17.080] it's always going to be pretty, yeah, good race today.
[16:17.080 -> 16:18.460] I think we've got good race pace.
[16:18.460 -> 16:20.860] He's going to be pretty media, isn't he?
[16:20.860 -> 16:23.720] Like that's why I liked it when he was in the cool down room
[16:23.720 -> 16:28.480] and for like five seconds you saw him smiling and like laughing and joking. Because I just don't
[16:28.480 -> 16:33.560] feel like you'll see that on camera. So I think Mark will really help Oscar there.
[16:33.560 -> 16:40.440] I honestly think, like, they've got to be so careful of what their drivers say. But
[16:40.440 -> 16:45.880] surely the sport would benefit from their drivers just being a bit more real.

[18:10.720 -> 18:15.520] Yeah, it's the back of the sponsors.
[18:15.520 -> 18:20.200] Like what makes the sport happen is the hundreds of millions of pounds of sponsors and all
[18:20.200 -> 18:22.840] the fans and everything that comes together.
[18:22.840 -> 18:26.320] All it takes is one person to say one thing wrong,
[18:26.320 -> 18:28.920] controversial, and as we've seen,
[18:28.920 -> 18:31.140] it causes an absolute shit storm.
[18:31.140 -> 18:34.340] Stocks and shares just plummet at that tail mix
[18:34.340 -> 18:37.540] because Checo's just got his ass out on camera.
[18:37.540 -> 18:39.860] They're probably scared in case they do say
[18:39.860 -> 18:41.420] something wrong, mate.
[18:41.420 -> 18:42.260] Yeah, maybe.
[18:42.260 -> 18:44.600] And probably scared to let the emotion out.
[18:44.600 -> 18:45.960] It's a bit sad really.
[18:45.960 -> 18:47.240] Popping back to Alonso,
[18:47.240 -> 18:49.520] mate, he started from the pits.
[18:49.520 -> 18:50.360] Yep.
[18:50.360 -> 18:51.180] Okay.
[18:51.180 -> 18:52.440] Both Aston Martin and both half-drivers.
[18:52.440 -> 18:54.240] This is why this guy is such a king
[18:54.240 -> 18:55.600] and this is why I back the fact
[18:55.600 -> 18:57.040] that he should be at Red Bull.
[18:57.040 -> 18:57.860] Okay.
[18:57.860 -> 18:59.440] Because he started in the pits,
[18:59.440 -> 19:01.960] he got up to P11 by lap 15, mate.
[19:01.960 -> 19:03.600] Absolute beast.
[19:03.600 -> 19:06.800] And he was running the old car. So-hmm. So Lance had the new one
[19:06.800 -> 19:09.920] Yep, and then unfortunately he retired that
[19:10.820 -> 19:12.640] What about Alonzo? Yeah
[19:12.640 -> 19:18.960] Got any more stats and facts? What? Well, it was a suspension failure. If that's what you want. Yeah, that's what I was after
[19:18.960 -> 19:21.680] I wonder what happened. Yeah something wrong with his suspension
[19:21.680 -> 19:24.980] So he dropped down to a bloody L Mikey Brown and then he retired and then
[19:22.800 -> 19:23.800] Yeah, something wrong with his suspension so he dropped down to 11th. Bloody hell Mikey Brown!
[19:23.800 -> 19:24.800] And then he retired.
[19:24.800 -> 19:28.520] And then, uh, Stroll got 9th and then got promoted to 8th.
[19:28.520 -> 19:29.520] Is that right?
[19:29.520 -> 19:30.520] Or 7th?
[19:30.520 -> 19:31.520] 7th, mate.
[19:31.520 -> 19:33.120] Six points.
[19:33.120 -> 19:36.320] For the first time I think that probably is Stroll's got more points than Alonso.
[19:36.320 -> 19:37.320] Well, Alonso got none.
[19:37.320 -> 19:38.320] About time.
[19:38.320 -> 19:42.680] I'm just actually looking at the race results here and I don't want to talk about it but
[19:42.680 -> 19:44.880] I feel like we have to.
[19:44.880 -> 19:45.520] So that means the
[19:45.520 -> 19:51.320] official last place in the race was Daniel Ricciardo slapped now that's a
[19:51.320 -> 19:55.720] fucking tough pill to swallow a that's a problem mate we're coming back for it was
[19:55.720 -> 20:00.040] the first race back I don't feel like you can just brush that under the
[20:00.040 -> 20:09.160] carpet mate that's not good what would leave Liam Lawson of that yuki sunoda eighth no five points so how does the
[20:09.160 -> 20:11.640] eighth yuki sunoda came a before he
[20:11.640 -> 20:13.560] finished 10th and got promoted one eighth
[20:13.560 -> 20:16.960] I don't know to yeah five points
[20:16.960 -> 20:21.200] oh yeah big very very big yuki but yeah
[20:21.200 -> 20:22.440] and fastest lap
[20:22.440 -> 20:26.120] yes I love that I absolutely love that he did that because
[20:26.120 -> 20:29.920] when he did that he was only up one point didn't he because he was 10th and he did it
[20:29.920 -> 20:34.440] and doubled his tally. I was surprised Yuki could get fastest lap but no one went out
[20:34.440 -> 20:40.000] on softs did they so it was easy for him. But how do they, what do they now take from
[20:40.000 -> 20:43.760] that? I mean I know it's his first race back, his hands might not be fully healed yet but
[20:43.760 -> 20:47.320] you've got to remember they took Liam Lawson out who was doing very well
[20:47.320 -> 20:54.400] The thing is this is like Ricciardo's race almost, apart from Australia obviously, like I swear Austin is like his gaff, his land
[20:54.640 -> 20:59.420] This is like his second home. I heard someone say on TV. It's like his second home. He should have done well here
[20:59.420 -> 21:01.160] I like Daniel Ricciardo
[21:01.160 -> 21:02.280] I like what he does for the sport
[21:02.280 -> 21:06.400] But do you not think it's just like a massive facade around Daniel Ricciardo?
[21:06.400 -> 21:11.600] Where he's like so amazing and such a popular person that he can't do any wrong?
[21:13.400 -> 21:18.200] Like realistically do you actually think he should be in the car? Liam Lawson was doing so much better.
[21:18.200 -> 21:21.000] I think it's harsh to even have took this away from Liam Lawson.
[21:21.000 -> 21:27.440] I think it's... I don't want to speak too soon, but we could be nearing the time where Daniel Ricciardo
[21:27.440 -> 21:30.400] starts stepping into like the movie world, you know,
[21:30.400 -> 21:33.480] maybe become an actor or, you know,
[21:33.480 -> 21:35.880] play Ross in like a Friends revival or something like that.
[21:35.880 -> 21:38.120] Formula One driver to play him Ross in Friends.
[21:38.120 -> 21:39.560] That's what I think he should be doing next.
[21:39.560 -> 21:40.560] He's a lovable guy.
[21:40.560 -> 21:42.720] Like you can't dislike Ricciardo.
[21:43.840 -> 21:48.760] Let's see how he does in the next couple of races, mmm yeah it's kind of tricky yeah until the end of the year
[21:48.760 -> 21:52.440] you can't really make a judgment I guess I'm just a little bit salty because I
[21:52.440 -> 21:56.920] did quite like Lawson I loved the thought of someone being given the
[21:56.920 -> 22:01.040] opportunity stepping in and being like fuck yeah I'm here and not only like do
[22:01.040 -> 22:03.760] we like him because he was doing well and he seems like a nice guy everyone
[22:03.760 -> 22:06.600] that we spoke to in Qatar they they didn't just say like,
[22:06.600 -> 22:11.960] Oh Liam's a great guy, they sung his praise man, they were like, Liam Lawson is an absolute babe.
[22:11.960 -> 22:17.040] Yeah and that's come from people working within AlphaTauri at the team, they all loved Liam Lawson.
[22:17.040 -> 22:25.840] So we know that the dynamic wouldn't have been easy to, they must have said to Liam, look, we're gonna do everything we can to get you in that seat next year.
[22:25.840 -> 22:28.680] And they'll have some form of underlying deal.
[22:28.680 -> 22:30.800] Like Liam will be watching these races thinking
[22:30.800 -> 22:33.680] if Daniel doesn't do this, then who knows?
[22:33.680 -> 22:36.360] But I, you know, the pressure's on Daniel now
[22:36.360 -> 22:38.120] because Liam's shown what he's done.
[22:38.120 -> 22:39.960] He's had the seat taken away
[22:39.960 -> 22:41.400] and that seat will come back
[22:41.400 -> 22:43.880] if Daniel doesn't perform a hundred percent.
[22:43.880 -> 22:45.840] I do want to shed a little bit of light
[22:45.840 -> 22:46.960] Go on, shed it, shine it
[22:46.960 -> 22:50.160] over the driver's standings, right, because
[22:50.960 -> 22:54.560] and I've spoken about this a few times this year but
[22:54.560 -> 22:59.120] it's very easy to get carried away with Max is winning, there's no point watching the race
[22:59.120 -> 23:03.600] but there is a big fight going on still, like in this middle pack, right
[23:03.600 -> 23:09.560] so Lance Stroll is 11th, he's three points behind Pierre Gasly okay so that's obviously
[23:09.560 -> 23:16.440] subject to change George Russell is only eight points behind Charles Leclerc
[23:16.440 -> 23:22.040] that's the battle for seventh but then Charles Leclerc is only eight points
[23:22.040 -> 23:26.360] behind Lando Norris and Lando Norris is only 12 points
[23:26.360 -> 23:28.680] behind Carlos Sainz and then Carlos
[23:28.680 -> 23:33.840] Sainz is only 12 points behind Fernando Alonso
[23:33.840 -> 23:39.400] so between fourth and eighth there is
[23:39.400 -> 23:42.160] like 40 points a big a big fight going
[23:42.160 -> 23:43.880] on mate yeah there's there's definitely
[23:43.880 -> 23:46.440] a lot of room there for this to completely change
[23:46.440 -> 23:51.760] I mean Lando's flown up there hasn't he like recently with the results pad podium podium
[23:52.320 -> 23:54.060] Just seeing him on the podium is mint
[23:54.060 -> 23:58.800] There's even still a chance for Ferrari to take back second place of Mercedes in the constructors
[23:58.920 -> 24:01.120] Well Mercedes are bringing big upgrades now
[24:01.800 -> 24:05.140] Yeah, they're gonna get a new surfboard apparently they're going to have to do something mate
[24:05.140 -> 24:06.420] because they ruined it in that last race
[24:06.420 -> 24:08.300] didn't they? well it's a shame because they
[24:08.300 -> 24:10.360] were actually really quick but if you're
[24:10.360 -> 24:11.460] going to get if you're going to be
[24:11.460 -> 24:14.300] cheating then that's what happens isn't
[24:14.300 -> 24:18.180] it I mean ultimately it is cheating
[24:18.180 -> 24:19.900] isn't it if you get disqualified it is
[24:19.900 -> 24:21.900] cheating yeah so Lewis Hamilton's a
[24:21.900 -> 24:24.900] cheater well no Red Bull there was there
[24:24.900 -> 24:27.640] no you have to say it
[24:27.640 -> 24:29.840] yeah no there wasn't
[24:29.840 -> 24:32.600] imagine rolls reverse that was Max the
[24:32.600 -> 24:34.600] internet would explode but you reckon
[24:34.600 -> 24:36.160] Max is a cheat he's been doing this all year they
[24:36.160 -> 24:37.640] should check his car every week
[24:37.640 -> 24:47.080] do you reckon this could have been Red Bull pushing like the FIA or whoever it is to say look Lewis Hamilton was really
[24:47.080 -> 24:50.560] catching us at the end there. Something's wrong with his car. Norris wasn't too far
[24:50.560 -> 24:54.160] behind check their cars. I don't know because it's completely randomized no?
[24:54.160 -> 24:58.120] Yeah I know but I mean if it's completely random and there's some bloke
[24:58.120 -> 25:02.080] who just decides I'm sure like chucking him 20 grand from Red Bull, oh mate just
[25:02.080 -> 25:07.200] go check their car. But we saw them we saw the drivers calling everyone out for track limits as they were
[25:07.200 -> 25:11.480] driving so we know that they, we know that someone could have radioed in and gone that
[25:11.480 -> 25:15.780] car looks low, but you know they're staring at the back of that car the whole time.
[25:15.780 -> 25:19.660] We know how much detail these drivers see and feel.
[25:19.660 -> 25:22.160] So maybe, maybe they did say, who knows.
[25:22.160 -> 25:25.000] One big thing that we haven't mentioned is that it's 50 wins for Max Verstappen!
[25:25.000 -> 25:28.000] Yeah, 50 wins! I did mention that, but yeah, we'll clap it.
[25:29.000 -> 25:35.000] 50 wins for Max Verstappen, 100 races for Lando Norris, and 100 races for George Russell!
[25:36.000 -> 25:41.000] Which means the only thing to do is to pull both their stats up side by side
[25:41.000 -> 25:46.360] and come to a conclusion of, at this this moment in time who is the better F1
[25:46.360 -> 25:49.120] driver, Lando Norris or George Russell?
[25:49.120 -> 25:50.920] How long has Lando been at McLaren for?
[25:50.920 -> 25:54.680] Well this is where we're going to go. You've got to remember Russell was at Williams for
[25:54.680 -> 25:56.600] a while and struggled.
[25:56.600 -> 25:58.600] Lando was at McLaren his whole career.
[25:58.600 -> 26:11.720] Exactly. So 100 races each, one win for Russell, none for Lando. Two poles for for Russell Lando could have had the win and fucked it when oh, yeah when when it rained
[26:11.720 -> 26:13.720] Yeah, what was that?
[26:14.240 -> 26:20.540] That would have been like that would have been one of them wins. That's like a spectacular win, but it wasn't like a
[26:21.540 -> 26:22.620] Don't know
[26:22.620 -> 26:28.560] It's hard to say you can race win so annoyed that he hasn't won yet because he was so close.
[26:29.280 -> 26:35.360] Yeah that that does suck but yeah one pole for Lando. Five fastest laps for Lando,
[26:35.360 -> 26:40.080] six fastest laps for George. Now here we go, podiums. George Russell has had 10.
[26:40.800 -> 26:47.000] Lando Norris has had 12. Lando has had 75 points finishes.
[26:47.000 -> 26:49.820] George Russell has had 39.
[26:49.820 -> 26:53.600] Now, George was in a Williams for a long time
[26:53.600 -> 26:56.140] and take what you want from them stats,
[26:56.140 -> 26:59.460] but Fabio Bocca, if you had to pick one of them drivers
[26:59.460 -> 27:02.040] to join you in the Ferrari,
[27:02.040 -> 27:04.440] which driver would you pick?
[27:04.480 -> 27:06.740] you in the Ferrari, which driver would you pick?
[27:09.000 -> 27:12.720] Ah, that's a good question. I mean, only because we kind of know Lando, I would pick him
[27:12.720 -> 27:17.080] I don't know George, but I also would probably pick Lando
[27:17.080 -> 27:21.520] because I don't, I feel like George could get,
[27:21.520 -> 27:23.280] maybe get like a bit whiny, you know,
[27:23.280 -> 27:28.560] if you start doing better than him, I think he may be maybe he'd be like, oh, come on. Oh, come on
[27:29.240 -> 27:33.800] Something's not right. Whereas maybe Lando wouldn't be so much like that. I don't really know
[27:36.040 -> 27:42.080] George has proven that he has tried to be a little bit ballsy in the past and it hasn't always paid off
[27:43.240 -> 27:45.000] Whereas I feel like Lando is maybe
[27:45.000 -> 27:49.120] slightly more calculated. Do you? I don't
[27:49.120 -> 27:51.360] know whether I would... I think what makes
[27:51.360 -> 27:53.560] Lando a great driver is he's calculated
[27:53.560 -> 27:56.320] but he's got that little max element of
[27:56.320 -> 27:59.080] like he'd make the lunge or do this or
[27:59.080 -> 28:01.800] do that or... Well he took a late lunge on Lewis
[28:01.800 -> 28:03.600] yeah and he puts a fight in you've seen
[28:03.600 -> 28:07.440] what Lando does I think that's Russell's where he loses it.
[28:07.440 -> 28:09.240] I think that's what Russell needs.
[28:09.240 -> 28:11.200] I think Russell was so clean.
[28:11.200 -> 28:12.920] No, we have seen Russell do it a bit too.
[28:12.920 -> 28:16.160] No, but he had to do it in that race the other week.
[28:16.160 -> 28:18.120] I just think Lando pulls it off more.
[28:18.120 -> 28:18.960] Yeah.
[28:18.960 -> 28:20.360] I think Lando can be a bit more courageous
[28:20.360 -> 28:21.320] and pull it off, whereas George
[28:21.320 -> 28:22.920] just goes straight into a wall.
[28:22.920 -> 28:23.760] No.
[28:23.760 -> 28:26.000] That's harsh, that's really harsh.
[28:26.000 -> 28:27.000] It's true though.
[28:27.000 -> 28:28.000] He hasn't done it much.
[28:28.000 -> 28:30.000] Well he did it maybe two or three races ago.
[28:30.000 -> 28:32.000] Well should we look at their retirements?
[28:32.000 -> 28:33.000] How many retirements they've had?
[28:33.000 -> 28:34.000] Sure.
[28:34.000 -> 28:36.000] George Russell has had 15 in his career.
[28:36.000 -> 28:39.000] Lando Norris has had 9.
[28:39.000 -> 28:41.000] So your statistics are correct.
[28:41.000 -> 28:43.000] Lando Norris does retire less.
[28:43.000 -> 28:46.440] I guess it also depends on what the retirement was caused by.
[28:46.440 -> 28:48.080] Yeah, could be anything, couldn't it?
[28:48.080 -> 28:52.360] Crashing or whether the car failed, but yeah, no, very interesting stats. Thanks for that.
[28:52.360 -> 28:55.000] Yeah, there's your 100 race starts for them.
[28:55.000 -> 28:59.200] Who do you think will have the longer career? Or do you think they'll both be there for
[28:59.200 -> 29:00.520] a really long time?
[29:00.520 -> 29:03.800] What's the age gap? I think you would assume George is older, right, but is he?
[29:03.800 -> 29:08.720] I'd assume they're probably about the same age. But either way, yeah, it doesn't really matter an age anymore
[29:08.720 -> 29:10.720] I don't know because
[29:11.240 -> 29:14.000] There's so much more you can do outside of f1 now and they both
[29:14.840 -> 29:18.720] You know George has definitely got something about him which he could go on to like, you know
[29:18.720 -> 29:24.680] Do a catwalk for Balenciaga or something like that, you know in like 10 years time Paris Fashion Week
[29:25.520 -> 29:26.360] Lando's already does Paris Fashion Week or something like that, you know, in like 10 years time, Paris fashion week. Lando's-
[29:26.360 -> 29:27.680] I think he probably already does Paris fashion week.
[29:27.680 -> 29:29.320] Probably does already, yeah.
[29:30.800 -> 29:32.560] I don't know, maybe he could become a polo player
[29:32.560 -> 29:33.400] or some shit.
[29:33.400 -> 29:34.400] I could see him doing polo.
[29:34.400 -> 29:37.200] I think he already is one of the faces of like Ralph Varenny
[29:37.200 -> 29:38.360] or is it Tommy Hilfiger?
[29:38.360 -> 29:41.400] I don't know, he's the face of something, that's for sure.
[29:41.400 -> 29:43.760] I think George probably has the longer career
[29:43.760 -> 29:46.220] because I think Lando
[29:51.180 -> 29:54.420] Will just find other more interesting stuff to do eventually when he's get gets bored of F1 I could I want I want to see Lando in something like NASCAR. I
[29:55.180 -> 30:01.100] Don't know. I want to see Lando in something that's full of personality because we know he's got a load of personality
[30:01.660 -> 30:05.760] But he I feel like F1 is such a clean sport who knows who
[30:05.760 -> 30:08.320] knows Anthony Joshua joined Formula One
[30:08.320 -> 30:10.000] this weekend he was on the grid he had a
[30:10.000 -> 30:11.760] little chat with Martin Brandl and then
[30:11.760 -> 30:13.760] he gave a nice radio message to Pete
[30:13.760 -> 30:16.360] Gassily saying good luck which Gassily
[30:16.360 -> 30:18.800] replied let's go champ I thought that
[30:18.800 -> 30:21.120] was quite a strange crossover Fab said
[30:21.120 -> 30:23.320] it was very American I mean the American
[30:23.320 -> 30:26.960] thing to do I kind of read it in a way I mean it's cool to
[30:26.960 -> 30:29.320] see them get involved but I couldn't
[30:29.320 -> 30:30.760] help but feel like that was scripted
[30:30.760 -> 30:32.320] like they'd said to Gatsby before like
[30:32.320 -> 30:34.360] Joshua's gonna radio in I want you to
[30:34.360 -> 30:37.160] reply let's go champ I was I was just
[30:37.160 -> 30:38.560] really hoping that they brought out
[30:38.560 -> 30:40.240] because there was like that really
[30:40.240 -> 30:42.760] awkward moment when Brundle was waiting
[30:42.760 -> 30:47.720] to talk to Joshua waited for ages for ages and I was really hoping they'd bring out Deontay Wilder.
[30:47.720 -> 30:50.240] Or just Fury, walk straight on.
[30:50.240 -> 30:51.240] Yeah, you Dossa!
[30:51.240 -> 30:54.240] We're out here on the F1 grid, you Dossa!
[30:54.240 -> 30:56.880] And he just starts scrapping it out.
[30:56.880 -> 30:57.880] Breaking news!
[30:57.880 -> 31:00.000] Breaking news!
[31:00.000 -> 31:06.960] A very special friend of Pitstop will be racing in an F1 car in FP1 in Mexico.
[31:06.960 -> 31:09.720] So we need to remind everyone to make sure they're watching FP1.
[31:09.720 -> 31:15.800] Ladies and gentlemen, Oli Behrman will be driving the Haas, which is absolutely incredible.
[31:15.800 -> 31:19.200] I actually saw him in Qatar.
[31:19.200 -> 31:23.080] Now this is true, but I haven't even told you this.
[31:23.080 -> 31:26.560] I saw Oli Behrman in Qatar in a Haas jumper.
[31:27.840 -> 31:28.640] Yes.
[31:28.640 -> 31:30.960] I saw him all kitted up.
[31:30.960 -> 31:31.760] Excuse me?
[31:31.760 -> 31:33.920] I saw Oli Berman in his Haas gear.
[31:33.920 -> 31:38.480] And I know he's driving for them FP1, I know it's like Ferrari's, you know, junior kind of team.
[31:38.480 -> 31:43.840] Why isn't he doing it for Ferrari and why isn't Petro, Pietro, sorry, in the Haas?
[31:43.840 -> 31:48.440] Not 100 percent sure. Not a hundred percent sure because also we figured out
[31:48.440 -> 31:52.920] recently that Robert Schwartzman has now joined IndyCar. No, sorry, Formula E.
[31:52.920 -> 31:55.360] So we're gonna have to do a bit more digging into that because it seems like
[31:55.360 -> 31:59.800] there's loads of... I'll tell you what, when we've only had five or six guests on the
[31:59.800 -> 32:05.680] show it was easy to track what everyone was doing but now we've had so many that it's like kind of hard to track what everyone was doing, but now we've had so many that it's like
[32:06.200 -> 32:11.160] Kind of hard to track what everyone's doing. Yeah, it was good to catch up with Drago in Qatar
[32:11.160 -> 32:14.760] Yeah, talk about what he wants to be doing. I mean obviously he wants to be on that grid
[32:14.760 -> 32:16.760] So I mean has he been out in the Aston Martin?
[32:17.800 -> 32:23.260] This season I'm not even sure. I don't know if he has. He will be though. Every team has to put people out
[32:23.400 -> 32:28.080] Yeah, I think a lot of them do it at Abu Dhabi. Yeah they just do it when there's a gap I mean everyone
[32:28.080 -> 32:31.540] would want to go out of Vegas. That's cool about Behrman though but it would
[32:31.540 -> 32:39.820] pain me, it would pain me for him to get a chance at racing an F1 and it's in a
[32:39.820 -> 32:45.400] Haas, like his rookie year is in a Haas. Why? I don't I think I'd be a little bit sad to be
[32:45.400 -> 32:49.900] honest. I think he could jump at it. I'd want him to be like in a piastri situation where he
[32:49.900 -> 32:55.240] gets in like at least half a competitive car. Personally that's what I'd like to see from him.
[32:55.240 -> 32:59.440] He's definitely not ready for F1 yet anyway. He needs at least another year in F2.
[32:59.440 -> 33:04.240] Yeah. Like it's it's one of them where you're almost better off not winning F2.
[33:04.240 -> 33:09.900] F2? Because if you get top three you get enough super well super license points for f1
[33:09.900 -> 33:14.140] So you're better off kind of not winning it f2 have just announced breaking news
[33:14.580 -> 33:20.900] That a lad named Andrea Kimi Antonelli will be racing for the Prima team next season. Let's go so
[33:21.460 -> 33:24.580] Prima who's at Prima currently Berman and
[33:29.360 -> 33:32.040] Vesti yep yep so Vesti what's happening with him I'm not 100% sure
[33:32.040 -> 33:34.120] because is it definitely Vesti leaving
[33:34.120 -> 33:35.840] then I don't know well Behrman will be
[33:35.840 -> 33:39.760] staying won't he surely I guess so yeah
[33:39.760 -> 33:41.840] unless though Behrman has been pulled
[33:41.840 -> 33:44.120] out of f2 and that's why he was in
[33:44.120 -> 33:46.800] Harskia and he is going as Harskett reserve.
[33:46.800 -> 33:48.920] Imagine that.
[33:48.920 -> 33:49.760] But short, no,
[33:49.760 -> 33:51.520] cause he hasn't got enough super license points.
[33:51.520 -> 33:52.720] Cause he didn't finish in the-
[33:52.720 -> 33:54.560] Yeah, he won't have it really.
[33:54.560 -> 33:56.400] But could he have enough super license points
[33:56.400 -> 33:57.240] if he does the test?
[33:57.240 -> 34:00.000] Shock change, Oli Behrman to wet.
[34:00.000 -> 34:01.620] He showed unbelievable pace,
[34:01.620 -> 34:03.560] but there's no way he was ready.
[34:03.560 -> 34:05.600] Like there was just a few too many mistakes,
[34:05.600 -> 34:07.040] like a little bit, like I love the boy,
[34:07.040 -> 34:08.240] I'd love him to get into F1,
[34:08.240 -> 34:10.440] I just want it to be at the right time.
[34:10.440 -> 34:12.960] I think that's one thing we've seen with Dragovic.
[34:12.960 -> 34:15.160] When he came on that show, Christmas Special,
[34:15.160 -> 34:16.760] we were quite new to this and we were like,
[34:16.760 -> 34:18.560] holy shit, he's Simon Vast and Martin,
[34:18.560 -> 34:20.640] he's gonna be an F1 driver.
[34:20.640 -> 34:23.080] Here we are, but it's a bit of time down the line
[34:23.080 -> 34:25.480] and it's become a lot more apparent to us
[34:25.480 -> 34:27.480] that like, it doesn't just work like that.
[34:27.480 -> 34:29.860] I kind of, this is me probably just being
[34:29.860 -> 34:31.880] a little bit weird, but I was always under the impression
[34:31.880 -> 34:35.940] that like, Premo is some sort of relationship with Ferrari
[34:35.940 -> 34:38.840] because they're like an Italian team, they're red, you know,
[34:38.840 -> 34:42.280] but this lad, this Andrea Kimi Antonelli,
[34:42.280 -> 34:44.040] who is an Italian racing driver, by the way,
[34:44.040 -> 34:46.000] which is great that he's in the Prema
[34:46.000 -> 34:47.760] He's very popular as well
[34:47.760 -> 34:49.760] and great that we'll have an Italian racing driver
[34:49.960 -> 34:53.840] Potentially going into F1 at some point because we haven't got one at the minute as far as I'm aware
[34:54.680 -> 35:00.240] He's 17 years old. Very young and this is the bit which got me. He's a Mercedes
[35:01.400 -> 35:04.680] Junior driver Mercedes junior driver, but gone to Prema. Gone to Prema
[35:04.880 -> 35:05.000] Yeah Mercedes... Junior driver. Mercedes junior driver but gone to Prema. Gone to Prema.
[35:05.000 -> 35:08.320] Yeah, I think they can kind of make deals with all sorts of people because there's a
[35:08.320 -> 35:11.720] few people that were driving at Prema before that were at different academies.
[35:11.720 -> 35:13.440] 17 years old bro.
[35:13.440 -> 35:14.440] So young.
[35:14.440 -> 35:19.320] Yeah but I'm saying that, Jessica Edgar, who won the F1 Academy race yesterday, race 3,
[35:19.320 -> 35:21.000] how young did she look?
[35:21.000 -> 35:22.360] I know, she looked so young.
[35:22.360 -> 35:24.000] Do we actually know how old she is?
[35:24.000 -> 35:26.000] I think maybe 16, 17.
[35:26.000 -> 35:26.520] No.
[35:26.520 -> 35:27.320] Google it.
[35:27.320 -> 35:30.560] But that is amazing for young girls all over the world
[35:30.560 -> 35:33.160] to watch that, because I couldn't believe she looked so young.
[35:33.160 -> 35:34.840] Born in 2005.
[35:34.840 -> 35:35.640] Wow.
[35:35.640 -> 35:38.140] 10 years younger than me, so yeah, she's like 17 years old.
[35:38.140 -> 35:39.680] That is crazy.
[35:39.680 -> 35:40.840] That's ridiculous.
[35:40.840 -> 35:42.000] Yeah, it's really young.
[35:42.000 -> 35:44.960] And you can see that it's a completely different category,
[35:44.960 -> 35:47.460] but it is amazing that that's going to be joining the f1 calendar
[35:47.460 -> 35:52.320] Yeah, congrats to margot here for winning the first ever person to win an f1 academy
[35:52.320 -> 35:55.800] We'll have to wait and see what happens now then because does that mean she's going to go into her free
[35:56.020 -> 36:00.020] That's what they said the pathway was yeah, I guess so yeah, so let's see
[36:00.740 -> 36:05.960] But ladies and gentlemen Mexico next weekend. We'll be back on Thursday with our pre-race predictions.
[36:05.960 -> 36:09.440] This is your favourite circuit, the track that you know most about.
[36:09.440 -> 36:10.520] I know Mexico.
[36:10.520 -> 36:12.560] If I shut my eyes, I can walk around it in my head.
[36:12.560 -> 36:14.560] So your predictions should be bang on.
[36:14.560 -> 36:18.960] I'm feeling pretty confident in Mexico, feeling like I know what I'm on about with Mexico.
[36:18.960 -> 36:24.000] Maybe while we're away between pods, you and me get on the sim, we do a few laps around
[36:24.000 -> 36:28.240] Mexico, we'll set some times and then we'll compare it to what the lads are doing out on track.
[36:28.240 -> 36:32.080] Okay, and we'll have as many laps as we want and keep restarting every time it goes wrong
[36:32.080 -> 36:33.560] until we get it faster.
[36:33.560 -> 36:34.560] Yeah.
[36:34.560 -> 36:35.560] Sounds absolutely perfect.
[36:35.560 -> 36:38.760] Hope everyone has a fantastic week, make the most of it.
[36:38.760 -> 36:40.560] Got any words of motivation for everyone?
[36:40.560 -> 36:52.520] Fuck, you always stick it on me when I'm not motivated people. Sometimes I gotta look in a mirror and prep quickly. Look my motivation today is that just don't
[36:52.520 -> 36:57.960] don't cheat in life don't try and cheat in life because you will get found out
[36:57.960 -> 37:01.420] and it won't go your way we've just seen it with Lewis Hamilton we've just seen
[37:01.420 -> 37:05.120] it with Charles Leclerc you You can't cheat your way to success.
[37:05.120 -> 37:08.280] Be organic, believe in everything that you do,
[37:08.280 -> 37:09.400] do everything by the book,
[37:09.400 -> 37:11.320] and then you'll be proud of yourself
[37:11.320 -> 37:12.720] when you get to your goal
[37:12.720 -> 37:14.840] and you know that you hadn't cheated your way there.
[37:14.840 -> 37:16.760] And you can look yourself in the mirror and say,
[37:16.760 -> 37:18.640] I've done this all on my own.
[37:18.640 -> 37:21.300] I didn't cheat, I didn't get any help from anyone else.
[37:21.300 -> 37:24.080] Stepping stones, it's not about how quickly
[37:24.080 -> 37:29.920] you get to the destination, it's about how you get to the destination you know with
[37:29.920 -> 37:33.560] courage and with determination nothing wrong with cutting a little corner
[37:33.560 -> 37:40.680] though not in my book mate no not in my book now I'm in the track limits yeah
[37:40.680 -> 37:44.320] but if you still fucked your underfloor that's your surfboards all right you
[37:44.320 -> 37:45.000] still cheating yeah you can't wreck the surfboard's all wrecked you're still cheating.
[37:45.000 -> 37:47.000] Yeah you can't wreck the surfboard can you?

[37:52.000 -> 37:54.000] If you don't, don't tell them you love them.
