[01:00.080 -> 01:10.700] Here we are. It's Sunday, race day. It's a grey day in London, but it's night time in Singapore as we gear up for the start of the Singapore Grand Prix.
[01:10.700 -> 01:19.000] Four minutes out until the race, and what a qualifying it was yesterday. Max and Perez didn't make it into Q3.
[01:19.000 -> 01:47.400] It definitely got spicy mate, it was a good quali session to watch, very very exciting. got We'll talk about this all later, but the fact that he was flying into a wall 150 mile an hour and he still takes his hands off the steering wheel
[01:47.400 -> 01:50.340] I think he's got a bit of PTSD from it when you know when he broke his wrists
[01:50.340 -> 01:52.200] Yeah, so he knows what he's doing
[01:52.200 -> 01:57.240] But I must say mate this morning when they announced that Lance wasn't gonna be driving
[01:58.040 -> 02:01.520] F1 announced it on Instagram and I went straight to the comment section
[02:01.520 -> 02:06.160] I put a little comment and I just put Felipe in capital letters thinking,
[02:06.160 -> 02:07.000] surely Felipe is gonna be-
[02:07.000 -> 02:08.240] Surely Felipe's gonna step in.
[02:08.240 -> 02:10.080] Yeah, and then within seconds,
[02:10.080 -> 02:12.680] I got about a million comments from everyone saying like,
[02:12.680 -> 02:15.160] actually no, Felipe's not gonna be taking his seat
[02:15.160 -> 02:17.280] because he crashed after quali.
[02:17.280 -> 02:19.720] You have an F1 podcast, you should know this.
[02:19.720 -> 02:20.840] I was like, aww.
[02:20.840 -> 02:22.360] I was thinking the exact same thing
[02:22.360 -> 02:24.200] as soon as I saw Aston Martin's post,
[02:24.200 -> 02:28.040] I was like, oh my God, this means Felipe is gonna race but obviously yeah they have
[02:28.040 -> 02:33.080] to qualify. I was completely wrong and I deleted my comment almost immediately
[02:33.080 -> 02:36.920] afterwards. So no Lance Stroll in today's race but it's very interesting
[02:36.920 -> 02:41.360] signs polled for the second week in a row Russell second and Leclerc third
[02:41.360 -> 02:48.000] we're gonna take you through the first couple of laps as we know Singapore is a track where anything can happen do you think
[02:48.000 -> 02:53.640] the Red Bulls from 11th and 13th can finish on the podium? I do think mate
[02:53.640 -> 02:57.920] that yes I do. Do you? I definitely think Max can yeah well why would you put it
[02:57.920 -> 03:01.000] past him? Well at this point who do you think wins with Sainz third Russell
[03:01.000 -> 03:05.160] Russell second and Leclerc third? I think Sainz could still have it.
[03:05.160 -> 03:07.400] It depends whether Red Bull sorted their car out.
[03:07.400 -> 03:09.800] I mean, at this point, we don't know.
[03:09.800 -> 03:12.040] But then come after the intro,
[03:12.040 -> 03:14.080] and when we do the rest of the pod, we will know.
[03:14.080 -> 03:16.120] But prediction right now, yeah, I think,
[03:16.120 -> 03:17.840] because we always make our predictions before quali,
[03:17.840 -> 03:18.680] which is stupid.
[03:18.680 -> 03:19.520] So now that we have a bit of a minute.
[03:19.520 -> 03:22.200] We should do it now.
[03:22.200 -> 03:23.840] This is when we should be doing our predictions
[03:23.840 -> 03:24.680] before every race.
[03:24.680 -> 03:28.640] I know. However, mate, I must say that Liam Lawson was my wildcard.
[03:28.640 -> 03:33.880] Yep, and he's qualified 10th, not for snapping out into Q3, that is, Liam Lawson has really
[03:33.880 -> 03:34.880] stepped into that league.
[03:34.880 -> 03:35.880] Did I say 10th or 9th?
[03:35.880 -> 03:36.880] I can't remember.
[03:36.880 -> 03:37.880] You just said it'd get points, I'm pretty sure.
[03:37.880 -> 03:41.520] I think I said it was going to be the 10th or 9th though, I don't know, and whether he'll
[03:41.520 -> 03:46.360] hold onto it I'm not sure, but mega job obviously for even getting in the into Q3
[03:46.360 -> 03:49.480] Lando Norris fourth could it be the week for Lando Norris?
[03:49.480 -> 03:54.760] I don't know. Let's see. They're just gearing up for their formation lap right now. Do you reckon it's hot out there?
[03:54.760 -> 03:59.880] Well, yeah, I've seen a few posts from a few people that have been saying it's like super sweaty super sticky
[03:59.880 -> 04:08.480] I think you can kind of see the heat like the shine on the tire. I know that they're hot tires They're just said as well boy George just walked down the the grid
[04:08.480 -> 04:13.120] So he's just performed apparently Kings and Leon are performing and apparently Robbie Williams
[04:19.120 -> 04:23.560] Lap the formation lap has began. We've got a few new liveries out here this week
[04:23.560 -> 04:25.400] And we the Williams has got a new paint job and we've got a few new liveries out here this week haven't we? The Williams have got a new paint job.
[04:25.400 -> 04:27.400] And we've got a few sets of different tyres mate.
[04:27.400 -> 04:30.920] Leclerc on soft, Sainz, Russell and most of the grid on mediums.
[04:30.920 -> 04:33.440] Both Red Bulls going hard, so that's...
[04:33.440 -> 04:35.520] And also Bottas on hard as well.
[04:35.960 -> 04:38.880] Piastri was very unlucky yesterday
[04:38.880 -> 04:42.240] because he was literally on a flyer and then couldn't complete his lap
[04:42.240 -> 04:44.240] because Lance had that crash right at the end.
[04:44.240 -> 04:50.640] I honestly think if Piastri had not had that happen he could have been way up there but
[04:50.640 -> 04:55.760] let's tune back in mate for the start of the race and give it our best Crofty impression.
[04:55.760 -> 04:57.600] Okay what you're gonna do Crofty from now?
[04:59.120 -> 05:00.320] When they start, when they start.
[05:00.320 -> 05:00.960] Okay.
[05:00.960 -> 05:06.960] And here we go as the final car start to line up on the grid
[05:06.960 -> 05:14.480] 19,000 horsepower on that first straight down the turn one, it's four lights, five lights and they're out
[05:14.480 -> 05:19.080] Toto looks a happy boy having Russell start there, oh it's a great start for both Ferraris
[05:19.080 -> 05:26.440] God, it's, it's, call the Mercedes, Hamilton's gone corner Mercedes, Hamilton's gone off! Hamilton's gone way off.
[05:26.440 -> 05:27.280] Will he gain there?
[05:27.280 -> 05:29.400] Oh dear, this is a clusterfuck.
[05:30.200 -> 05:31.040] Oh my.
[05:32.120 -> 05:34.400] Relatively, a relatively calm start.
[05:34.400 -> 05:37.560] Everyone's clean, but both Ferraris have got to the front.
[05:37.560 -> 05:40.080] Yeah, and what's, Lewis is way up.
[05:40.080 -> 05:41.280] Where did he start, mate?
[05:41.280 -> 05:44.320] Well, we're gonna see a Russell and Hamilton battle here.
[05:44.320 -> 05:45.900] You got Lando right behind.
[05:45.900 -> 05:49.400] Lando's lost a spot though, but is he gonna argue that he got it taken?
[05:49.800 -> 05:50.700] Because Hamilton went off.
[05:50.700 -> 05:52.000] Is that, look at Alonso!
[05:52.200 -> 05:53.300] Go on Alonso!
[05:53.300 -> 05:57.800] This is not the most energetic start I must say, this is not a crofty impression at all.
[05:58.800 -> 06:02.000] Imagine you were watching it and this was the commentary you got.
[06:03.200 -> 06:08.000] There's a McLaren out front, an Alpine overtaking the Haas is there. That's very very nice mate.
[06:08.000 -> 06:12.440] Very calm start to the race. Very calm start to the race and we'll be back after the race
[06:12.440 -> 06:15.440] to give you our full review of everything that we've seen.
[06:30.240 -> 06:32.620] Well butter me up and call me Michael because holy shit the last 5 laps of the race were absolutely stonking mate.
[06:32.620 -> 06:39.200] That has just reminded me and right in my face shown me why I fell in love with this
[06:39.200 -> 06:40.200] sport.
[06:40.200 -> 06:41.760] You feel like you've been slapped by a salmon?
[06:41.760 -> 06:43.720] Yeah there's a big old salmon.
[06:43.720 -> 06:46.960] If every race was like that, mate,
[06:46.960 -> 06:48.800] the last couple of laps,
[06:48.800 -> 06:50.680] there's so many people to congratulate,
[06:50.680 -> 06:51.920] so much to talk about.
[06:51.920 -> 06:56.920] Carlos Sainz has won the Singapore Grand Prix!
[06:57.280 -> 06:59.560] That is amazing!
[06:59.560 -> 07:02.240] This is some of the most stupendous,
[07:02.240 -> 07:04.760] professional, calculated driving
[07:04.760 -> 07:06.080] I've ever seen in my life.
[07:06.080 -> 07:07.080] Oh my god.
[07:07.080 -> 07:12.920] Incredible to watch the way he knew that if he didn't keep Lando in his DRS, he wouldn't
[07:12.920 -> 07:14.320] have won that race.
[07:14.320 -> 07:20.600] The way that he sat in front of Lando to give Lando that traction to hold off the Mercedes
[07:20.600 -> 07:21.600] was incredible.
[07:21.600 -> 07:22.920] It was all he could do.
[07:22.920 -> 07:23.920] Do you know what?
[07:23.920 -> 07:26.360] I feel like we haven't been sat on the edge of our seat like that for
[07:26.360 -> 07:29.880] a little while. No, that is the first time in a long time that has happened.
[07:29.880 -> 07:34.760] Just the red balls constantly and finally, I feel like I've got a new lease of life.
[07:34.760 -> 07:38.440] I'm just taking a breath of fresh air. I feel exactly the same. I mean, you think
[07:38.440 -> 07:42.280] as Max still had a really good race, he still managed to finish like fifth.
[07:42.280 -> 07:45.000] He did. It's great a great and gutted for
[07:45.000 -> 07:50.760] Russell that is that is hard but I did say that's a bit of a stinker I did say
[07:50.760 -> 07:56.800] I said that it needed to be Hamilton who was third because I said that I feel
[07:56.800 -> 07:59.600] like Russell's gonna go for a move or something's gonna go wrong at the end
[07:59.600 -> 08:03.040] and he's gonna put it in the wall because I just felt like there was so
[08:03.040 -> 08:09.600] much pressure on him to do something like Max would like a lot of pressure he had the pressure to
[08:09.600 -> 08:13.640] try and push Norris but he also had the pressure of Lewis like right behind him
[08:13.640 -> 08:16.360] you know what do you do he's caught kind of trapped in a way they couldn't like
[08:16.360 -> 08:19.500] swap it they could be you can't really give up a podium you couldn't just let
[08:19.500 -> 08:26.260] Lewis through kind of thing I do also want to say my wild card from last week of Liam Lawson
[08:26.260 -> 08:39.120] coming ninth. That's come by one! Oh there we go, Fabio Bocca that's a fantastic prediction. Liam Lawson, I, mate it's funny how things can just change like that for someone
[08:39.120 -> 08:43.160] like I guess being a reserve driver I feel like we even sound more excited than
[08:43.160 -> 08:45.920] normal. No I reckon we probably, I am more excited than normal.
[08:45.920 -> 08:50.040] I have to admit there's been so many times we pick up the pod after a race and it's the
[08:50.040 -> 08:51.640] same thing every week.
[08:51.640 -> 08:54.680] So me and you are there like, Max has won again.
[08:54.680 -> 08:56.200] And then what else do you really talk about?
[08:56.200 -> 09:00.200] It's funny because our guest that we just had on, which should we announce him on the
[09:00.200 -> 09:01.200] pod yet or not?
[09:01.200 -> 09:02.200] Not yet.
[09:02.200 -> 09:03.200] Not yet.
[09:03.200 -> 09:07.320] Well, our guest that we just had on, he knows a lot about racing and stuff he's not a racing driver maybe he was at one point
[09:07.320 -> 09:12.680] but he was saying how what was he saying? What was he saying? He was saying how
[09:12.680 -> 09:16.360] being a reserve driver sometimes you can get a bit stale you know after a few
[09:16.360 -> 09:19.240] years a few weeks few months few years of being a reserve driver nothing
[09:19.240 -> 09:23.160] happens and where is your career going but this is a prime example of how
[09:23.160 -> 09:26.960] someone like Liam Lawson can just, it can just change like that.
[09:26.960 -> 09:28.120] All of a sudden you're racing.
[09:28.120 -> 09:29.060] And not only is he racing,
[09:29.060 -> 09:32.560] he's seized the opportunity by the nuts
[09:32.560 -> 09:33.880] and he's fucking pulled these,
[09:33.880 -> 09:36.600] squeezed those motherfuckers so hard.
[09:36.600 -> 09:38.320] I don't see why he wouldn't have a seat next year.
[09:38.320 -> 09:40.760] Mate, first ever driver to get points
[09:40.760 -> 09:43.080] in their first year of Formula One in Singapore.
[09:43.080 -> 09:45.440] No other driver has ever done that in their rookie year. In Singapore? Yeah. No other driver has ever done that in their rookie year.
[09:45.440 -> 09:46.280] In Singapore?
[09:46.280 -> 09:47.100] Yeah.
[09:47.100 -> 09:49.720] No other driver has ever got points in Singapore as a rookie.
[09:49.720 -> 09:50.560] Wow.
[09:50.560 -> 09:51.380] He's the first ever driver.
[09:51.380 -> 09:52.220] Let's clap him again.
[09:52.220 -> 09:53.060] And you can see why.
[09:53.060 -> 09:54.380] It's a hard drive.
[09:54.380 -> 09:55.880] Yeah, but awesome.
[09:55.880 -> 10:00.880] Also, Oscar Piastri starts 17th and finishes 7th
[10:00.920 -> 10:03.560] and he doesn't have the upgrades that Lando has on his car.
[10:03.560 -> 10:04.400] Oh, really?
[10:04.400 -> 10:08.280] No, Lando got him first last time. Lando's got him first this time as well, who
[10:08.280 -> 10:14.080] had him for Suzuka. Okay. But that is a monstrous drive from him just as much.
[10:14.080 -> 10:18.560] There's some rookies mate, and he's second youngest on the grid and I, again,
[10:18.560 -> 10:21.440] the guest that we had on was talking about how these younger drivers have got
[10:21.440 -> 10:26.640] much more of an advantage over the older drivers. Listen to our next guest episode and you'll find out why.
[10:26.640 -> 10:28.200] Really interesting episode actually.
[10:28.200 -> 10:32.340] Really interesting. So yeah mate, just these young drivers are absolutely beasts. Let's
[10:32.340 -> 10:40.120] quickly run through the finishing top 10. So Sainz, Norris, Hamilton, Leclerc, Verstappen,
[10:40.120 -> 10:45.440] Gasly up there in 6th, Piastri, Perez, Lawson in ninth, Magnussen in tenth.
[10:45.440 -> 10:49.040] Nice to see Magnussen get some points after Hulkenberg's been dominating him all season.
[10:49.040 -> 10:53.520] Yeah, it was a strange race for the midfield pack because the Red Bulls were holding them up for
[10:53.520 -> 10:58.240] most of it because the Red Bull had enough pace to like get away but then it was just so slippy.
[10:58.240 -> 11:01.360] There was something wrong with the Red Bull all weekend.
[11:01.360 -> 11:02.320] Yeah, it hasn't been good.
[11:02.320 -> 11:05.440] And it's weird to watch, like it's weird to see
[11:05.440 -> 11:06.600] that something's wrong. I missed practice.
[11:06.600 -> 11:07.920] I must admit, I missed practice
[11:07.920 -> 11:09.260] because I've been out, I've been busy.
[11:09.260 -> 11:10.480] But my dad called me up and he was like,
[11:10.480 -> 11:11.400] have you watched practice?
[11:11.400 -> 11:12.800] And I was like, nah, dad, you know what?
[11:12.800 -> 11:14.800] I've been out, but you know, practice,
[11:14.800 -> 11:16.680] you can never really sort of tell too much
[11:16.680 -> 11:17.520] what's going to happen.
[11:17.520 -> 11:18.520] No, because you never know what they're running.
[11:18.520 -> 11:19.400] No one's doing anything.
[11:19.400 -> 11:20.600] But he was like, nah, he was like,
[11:20.600 -> 11:22.080] mate, the Red Bulls aren't looking very good.
[11:22.080 -> 11:23.600] And I was like, yeah, you know,
[11:23.600 -> 11:25.860] but they're probably like just you know playing ball
[11:25.860 -> 11:31.420] You know I think it's about how they set the cars for certain races because Toto was just saying then he was saying we've had
[11:31.420 -> 11:36.320] Seasons what we've won. Yeah, well I can't do it in his voice. Season one was not very good
[11:36.680 -> 11:39.760] He was saying they've had seasons where they win like most races
[11:39.760 -> 11:44.200] But they come to Singapore and they can't do anything because the car is not set up for that track
[11:44.200 -> 11:49.640] So Red Bull just clearly isn't isn't set but Max and they did get points in the end but for
[11:49.640 -> 11:55.520] me that whole race has just lit a fire of Formula 1 back up, it makes me buzz in for
[11:55.520 -> 11:56.600] next weekend.
[11:56.600 -> 12:00.640] I think biggest heartbreak for the race other than George, obviously that's pretty big,
[12:00.640 -> 12:05.000] is probably Esteban Ocon coming out of the race, his car gave up because it was his
[12:05.000 -> 12:06.000] birthday today.
[12:06.000 -> 12:07.000] And he was having a good race.
[12:07.000 -> 12:08.000] Yeah, happy birthday Esteban Ocon.
[12:08.000 -> 12:09.360] He did some amazing moves.
[12:09.360 -> 12:11.160] Yeah, happy birthday Esteban.
[12:11.160 -> 12:14.920] He was driving like an absolute beast, I must say, pressing Alonso the whole time.
[12:14.920 -> 12:18.800] And I like watching that because they're old teammates and I always think that dynamic
[12:18.800 -> 12:23.160] of racing someone who's been a teammate before must have that little bit extra.
[12:23.160 -> 12:27.080] Kind of like what we saw with Sainz and Norris and you said they were teammates before yeah and they're good
[12:27.080 -> 12:31.240] friends and yeah helping each other out I like that yeah great yeah they're just
[12:31.240 -> 12:34.520] that extra little bit of spice but no it's also heartbreak for you Sonoda
[12:34.520 -> 12:38.680] it's a second DNF in a row yeah that and it also is going into his home Grand
[12:38.680 -> 12:42.360] Prix now that's the last thing he would have wanted he will but I guarantee you
[12:42.360 -> 12:46.840] he's got to be on the fucking podium or something because we saw how Ferrari came out of nowhere for Monza.
[12:46.840 -> 12:48.720] Yeah, and the Alfa Tauri has got serious upgrades,
[12:48.720 -> 12:50.680] which is why, well, Liam is a good driver,
[12:50.680 -> 12:52.100] but that's why he's doing so well in it.
[12:52.100 -> 12:54.560] The Alfa Tauri is a quick car at the moment.
[12:54.560 -> 12:56.900] No, it was a remarkable race
[12:56.900 -> 12:59.060] with loads of different strategies going on.
[12:59.060 -> 13:01.560] Like I've made notes here that don't even make sense now
[13:01.560 -> 13:02.860] because I wrote them down.
[13:02.860 -> 13:04.240] Like early on, they pitted Joe.
[13:04.240 -> 13:08.360] Yeah, halfway through, yeah. They pitted Joe on like lap 2 for hards and went we're gonna go to the
[13:08.360 -> 13:11.700] end and I was thinking oh that could work out like he could end up jumping
[13:11.700 -> 13:15.480] everyone but then they pitted him again and I was like well he's just lost all
[13:15.480 -> 13:19.100] the time that he gained. What lap did they pit him on? They pitted him on like lap 2 and
[13:19.100 -> 13:22.060] then they pitted him again on like lap 12. There's no way those hards were gonna ever go
[13:22.060 -> 13:26.920] all the way to the end were they? No but I guess no one really knew. What were they thinking? I'd pet them on lap 2.
[13:26.920 -> 13:33.240] Well... Ruth? I don't know. RUTH! What was that all about? I do want to give a big also
[13:33.240 -> 13:36.680] congratulations before we go any further to Fernando Alonso for completing a
[13:36.680 -> 13:42.040] hundred thousand kilometers race distance. Mega. These guys breaking records
[13:42.040 -> 13:46.320] every week. 2.5 times around the equator
[13:46.320 -> 13:50.480] So just to clear that up that is driving around the world two times and a half
[13:50.480 -> 13:52.480] Yep the furthest point of the earth
[13:52.480 -> 13:57.760] That is ridiculous that seems like way too far to drive
[13:57.760 -> 14:00.880] If anyone's gonna do it though it's gonna be Alonso isn't it because he's a G
[14:00.880 -> 14:03.920] But you gotta think they don't even like race every weekend
[14:03.920 -> 14:09.040] and that means he's done it twice and a half all the way around the world. Yep. That is pretty
[14:09.040 -> 14:15.440] epic. And also you know I guess the biggest thing about this race was the fact that the
[14:15.440 -> 14:27.800] fucking evil beast who's been at the top of Formula One this whole time have finally lost their win streak. Red Bull, 15 consecutive wins, gone.
[14:27.800 -> 14:32.800] Max Verstappen, what, yeah, 10 wins, 10 win streak, gone.
[14:32.800 -> 14:33.840] No, it's like 13, mate.
[14:33.840 -> 14:34.680] Was it?
[14:34.680 -> 14:36.400] Yeah, or Red Bull was 13, no.
[14:36.400 -> 14:39.120] Red Bull was 15, I think Max was 10.
[14:39.120 -> 14:42.080] I don't know, 13, 12, I know he just set the record for it.
[14:42.080 -> 14:44.600] But it's mad, as soon as someone else wins,
[14:44.600 -> 14:46.720] like all of the stats and everything I had for Red Bull
[14:46.720 -> 14:48.360] have just completely gone because it's like,
[14:48.360 -> 14:51.400] oh my God, someone else is finally,
[14:51.400 -> 14:54.720] I did right here though, that one thing I did want to say
[14:54.720 -> 14:57.880] is Max just doesn't make any mistakes.
[14:57.880 -> 14:59.560] When you really think about it,
[14:59.560 -> 15:01.520] and you think about this whole season,
[15:01.520 -> 15:06.520] even to finish fifth, as a driver, he makes no mistakes.
[15:06.520 -> 15:08.600] Like he never taps a wall.
[15:08.600 -> 15:10.040] He never goes over a car.
[15:10.040 -> 15:11.880] I think he's learned pretty quick, hasn't he?
[15:11.880 -> 15:14.080] He has learned quick because he wasn't always perfect
[15:14.080 -> 15:14.900] back in the day.
[15:14.900 -> 15:17.200] He always had that raw speed and kind of aggression
[15:17.200 -> 15:19.760] and the confidence, but he was making mistakes
[15:19.760 -> 15:20.580] when he was younger.
[15:20.580 -> 15:22.120] So he has, in the last couple of years,
[15:22.120 -> 15:26.360] he has really learned quickly to stop doing that shit. And how unlucky
[15:26.360 -> 15:29.120] that Lando, well Lando tapped that wall
[15:29.120 -> 15:31.560] on that last lap as well and then Russell
[15:31.560 -> 15:33.920] taps the same wall imagine that put both
[15:33.920 -> 15:36.840] of them out like Lando was lucky to tap
[15:36.840 -> 15:38.440] that wall and keep going round.
[15:38.440 -> 15:41.800] Yeah so what would that, it clearly ruined George. So that would have put Hamilton and
[15:41.800 -> 15:43.600] Leclerc up, Hamilton and second Leclerc
[15:43.600 -> 15:44.640] and third which actually would have been
[15:44.640 -> 15:45.120] quite boring
[15:45.120 -> 15:49.720] So I'm glad Norris is up there. Good to see him up there. I just want to see him win a race now, mate
[15:49.720 -> 15:53.420] Like he's clearly got it. I think yeah, I think he's ready for a race win
[15:53.420 -> 15:58.880] I mean the McLaren's definitely quick with the upgrades that he had but the tires at the end just didn't give him the
[15:59.000 -> 16:07.600] He didn't have the tires at the end neither did signs. It would have been interesting if like Lando had pitted as well I was it was quite strange that only the Mercedes did
[16:07.600 -> 16:12.800] I did think maybe maybe Lando would risk it I still think I still go back to like
[16:12.800 -> 16:15.760] the pod that we did a few months back when I said like you know each driver
[16:15.760 -> 16:19.800] should only be allowed three years at a team I think that would mix it up so
[16:19.800 -> 16:24.040] much more mate so much more because how long has Lando been at McLaren for about
[16:24.040 -> 16:29.560] three years or is it longer I don't know I think it's about three or four years. He's been there the whole time I've been watching
[16:29.560 -> 16:34.560] yeah maybe I'm wrong but like if there was just compulsory changes to the teams
[16:34.560 -> 16:38.800] you know that would be that would be the shit but then it doesn't really I think
[16:38.800 -> 16:42.160] one of the main things is like being at a team for a long time and building the
[16:42.160 -> 16:45.400] car around you and evolving it like I think that's where McLaren and Landor
[16:45.400 -> 16:46.700] are in a really good place now.
[16:46.700 -> 16:48.460] Cause he's been there for so long
[16:48.460 -> 16:50.760] that they've like learned who their driver is,
[16:50.760 -> 16:53.180] learned what he wants from a car.
[16:53.180 -> 16:54.020] But it doesn't just happen overnight.
[16:54.020 -> 16:55.780] I see it like the world cup, you know,
[16:55.780 -> 16:57.860] when they pick the balls out and they choose like
[16:57.860 -> 17:00.140] who's which team's going to be playing who.
[17:00.140 -> 17:00.980] Hugh?
[17:00.980 -> 17:02.980] Who's going to be playing against Hugh?
[17:02.980 -> 17:04.420] Yeah, that's what I've always said
[17:04.420 -> 17:09.400] would be the best way they do F1. Every driver has the same contract pretty much. At the beginning of
[17:09.400 -> 17:15.320] the season, there's a draw. There's 10 teams, there's 20 drivers in a pot, and they just pick them out.
[17:15.320 -> 17:21.600] And that is that, because they're all amazing drivers, so... I'd love that. That would kind of only work if all the cars were the same.
[17:21.600 -> 17:24.140] But then it's the thing, me and you see it as like a
[17:22.720 -> 17:27.160] kind of only work if all the cars were the same but then it that's the thing me and you see it as like a we really like the drivers and we follow certain
[17:27.160 -> 17:30.640] people like I was saying I think Carlos Sainz might even be my favorite driver
[17:30.640 -> 17:34.640] now but it is a constructive sport he's definitely stepped it up isn't he
[17:34.640 -> 17:38.000] old Carlos Sainz we should probably revert back quickly to quali where
[17:38.000 -> 17:41.080] Stroll had that huge crash, oh no we spoke about it in the start of the pod didn't we?
[17:41.080 -> 17:44.760] We did speak about it at the beginning of the pod. Huge crash 150 miles an hour mate so and you
[17:44.760 -> 17:47.800] showed me that video of it from the stands as well like even on TV it
[17:47.800 -> 17:50.880] doesn't do it justice like when you see the video of the guy standing over it
[17:50.880 -> 17:56.360] with his phone recording the track that makes you realize like that's a really
[17:56.360 -> 18:00.280] bad crash it's quite amazing really that he just jumped straight we thought the
[18:00.280 -> 18:03.600] car was gonna flip didn't we yeah I thought I was gonna he's gonna roll
[18:03.600 -> 18:05.920] that motherfucker but luckily didn't and? Didn't it? Yeah, I thought he was going to roll that motherfucker, but luckily he didn't.
[18:05.920 -> 18:10.380] And probably my favorite part of quali was Liam Lawson.
[18:10.380 -> 18:13.220] It was actually Liam who knocked Verstappen out in Q2.
[18:13.220 -> 18:14.280] And I've got a few stats here.
[18:14.280 -> 18:19.000] It's the seventh time in 15 races that Perez hasn't made Q3
[18:19.000 -> 18:22.600] but it's the first time since Jeddah that Max hasn't made Q3
[18:22.600 -> 18:24.920] and that was a mechanical failure in Jeddah.
[18:24.920 -> 18:28.760] So it wasn't even his fault. Perez was so pissed.
[18:28.760 -> 18:34.000] Yeah. In qualy that was the first time I'd heard Perez swear.
[18:34.000 -> 18:39.160] He was like... bleeping the whole time. And do you remember, was it in qualy when they actually didn't
[18:39.160 -> 18:43.320] bleep Max's swear? Yeah, yeah, yeah, they kept it in. They blepped it the whole time and then I
[18:43.320 -> 18:45.080] think Crofty or Ted was talking. They blepped it? It's blepped to work? Yeah, yeah, yeah, they kept it in. They blepped it the whole time, and then I think Crofty or Ted was talking.
[18:45.080 -> 18:46.600] They blepped it. It blepped the word.
[18:46.600 -> 18:47.840] Yeah, blep. I've just invented it.
[18:47.840 -> 18:49.240] Blep, blep, blep, blep, blep, blep.
[18:49.240 -> 18:52.440] I think one of them was shouting, and then you could hear the radio underneath.
[18:52.440 -> 18:54.960] And yeah, you could hear Mac say, fuck.
[18:54.960 -> 18:58.880] Yeah, to be fair, I think Red Bull made a couple of mistakes this weekend, really.
[18:58.880 -> 19:02.240] Like, because I don't know why they didn't pit them.
[19:02.240 -> 19:05.000] It was the first time since Russia 2018
[19:05.000 -> 19:08.000] that Red Bull have been in Q3, haven't been.
[19:08.000 -> 19:09.440] Stat man.
[19:09.440 -> 19:13.700] Ferrari haven't had a front row lockout since Monza 2022.
[19:14.840 -> 19:15.880] And they did.
[19:15.880 -> 19:17.520] They didn't have a front row lockout.
[19:17.520 -> 19:18.360] Did they not?
[19:18.360 -> 19:19.180] No.
[19:19.180 -> 19:20.020] No, they didn't, did they?
[19:20.020 -> 19:20.860] No.
[19:20.860 -> 19:21.680] So I should have deleted that.
[19:21.680 -> 19:22.520] They had pole, but they didn't have second.
[19:22.520 -> 19:23.360] I should have deleted that, no?
[19:23.360 -> 19:24.180] Yeah.
[19:24.180 -> 19:32.000] And there hasn't been a front row lockout in Singapore since 2014 when it was Lewis and Rosberg for Mercedes and we still didn't have it this weekend.
[19:32.000 -> 19:34.000] So cut everything you just said.
[19:34.000 -> 19:36.000] No, but I...

[21:26.080 -> 21:27.480] This is what us gym lads do, yeah.
[21:27.480 -> 21:29.800] When we're in the gym pumping iron, alright.
[21:29.800 -> 21:31.320] Sometimes I take my shirt off, you know.
[21:31.320 -> 21:32.320] You don't!
[21:32.320 -> 21:33.840] You're not one of them guys that take your shirt off in the gym.
[21:33.840 -> 21:36.280] And then I get escorted out so I have to put it back on.
[21:36.280 -> 21:40.640] Me and Jack were just, you know, sculpting the pythons, pumping some iron away.
[21:40.640 -> 21:44.480] And we were talking about commentators and he mentioned Alex Jakes.
[21:44.480 -> 21:48.320] Yeah. Because, and he said to me, you know mentioned Alex Jakes yeah because and he said to me Alex Jakes the goat of...
[21:48.320 -> 21:49.840] I always thought it was Alex Jax
[21:49.840 -> 21:53.840] well it's spelt like Jax in it like J-A-C-Q-U-E-S I think
[21:53.840 -> 21:56.960] okay but apparently it's Jakes I don't know the French can't spell
[21:56.960 -> 21:59.200] Jakes is a great name I think it should be Jakes
[21:59.200 -> 22:04.480] yeah it's fair and he called him like the goat of commentary and I was like do you actually think he's the goat
[22:04.480 -> 22:06.600] and he was like well no I mean I wouldn't say he's like you the GOAT of commentary. And I was like, do you actually think he's the GOAT? And he was like, well, no, I mean,
[22:06.600 -> 22:09.080] I wouldn't say he's like the greatest of all time,
[22:09.080 -> 22:11.040] but he's definitely like on his way to being like,
[22:11.040 -> 22:13.440] Matt thinks very highly of Alex Jakes.
[22:13.440 -> 22:15.160] For anyone who doesn't know, Alex Jakes,
[22:15.160 -> 22:17.720] I believe does all the commentary for Formula Two.
[22:17.720 -> 22:20.200] Yeah, at least in the UK, don't know about anywhere else.
[22:20.200 -> 22:24.040] And we've listened to him and he does know his shit.
[22:24.040 -> 22:25.040] I think you and me,
[22:25.040 -> 22:27.400] and this is the perfect example between like you and me
[22:27.400 -> 22:29.440] and then like what Matt and Tommy do in P1.
[22:29.440 -> 22:32.500] Because our favorite commentator is obviously Crofty.
[22:32.500 -> 22:35.720] Because to me, and you said it about football commentary,
[22:35.720 -> 22:37.840] how it's like, you like listen to like someone sing,
[22:37.840 -> 22:41.120] like the way that they flow, like during the race.
[22:41.120 -> 22:44.760] They keep it going, but also the tone of the voice,
[22:44.760 -> 22:48.840] like it is like Crofty is like conducting an orchestra when he does his commentary and it says I
[22:48.920 -> 22:55.560] Fucking love that because it really gets my heart going. Yeah, you know, I don't know if Alex Jake's does that as much however
[22:55.760 -> 22:59.500] Alex has the stats and the facts and everything else and I'm a randall
[22:59.760 -> 23:06.240] Yeah, exactly and Matt was saying, you know when the whole Lewis and Max thing happened at Abbey Dabbey a couple years back,
[23:06.240 -> 23:11.920] Crofty, you know, Matt was saying Crofty didn't particularly know that what had gone wrong, you know, what was wrong or not.
[23:11.920 -> 23:17.600] And it wasn't until Alex Jakes told Crofty, like, you know, this, it was wrong because of this, this and this, you know, so
[23:18.000 -> 23:23.600] I guess what I'm saying is you and me just love the sing-song and the dance and the emotion and the fun,
[23:23.840 -> 23:28.040] whereas like Alex Jakes has more of the stats and facts but I'd love to know what people
[23:28.040 -> 23:32.400] at home like do you want to hear someone getting the facts right all the time and
[23:32.400 -> 23:35.720] I mean I suppose you do you don't want to be well I say you don't want to be
[23:35.720 -> 23:38.920] hearing facts that are wrong but then quite clearly everyone who listens to
[23:38.920 -> 23:42.160] our podcast has a reason to listen to us we get stuff wrong all the time
[23:42.160 -> 23:45.840] shit wrong all the time and the fact that Crofty goes out and gets shit wrong live
[23:45.840 -> 23:50.200] on air and he is the main commentator for like F1 Sky or whatever.
[23:50.200 -> 23:51.200] Yeah.
[23:51.200 -> 23:52.200] Puts my mind at ease a little bit mate.
[23:52.200 -> 23:56.800] And it's like what you said like people like Matt and Tommy are amazing at what they do
[23:56.800 -> 23:58.560] because they are so clued up.
[23:58.560 -> 23:59.560] They know everything.
[23:59.560 -> 24:03.400] That's what I mean they can talk about certain things that we wouldn't talk about but then
[24:03.400 -> 24:06.440] a lot of listeners almost don't want to know that there's be a lot of
[24:06.440 -> 24:09.320] other listeners that would rather listen to us talk about our dreams
[24:09.320 -> 24:12.920] yeah talk about lucid dreams and fucking catching a fish
[24:12.920 -> 24:17.280] we can still come on here and talk about Formula One probably the same way most
[24:17.280 -> 24:20.180] people would go down the pub or go out with their friends and go I watched the
[24:20.180 -> 24:23.640] race this week yeah it was amazing did you see that bit that's where we're at
[24:23.640 -> 24:28.280] yeah we're just like that community of f1 fans having a chat with them
[24:28.280 -> 24:32.000] people and we actually had a load of responses to the last pod we put a call
[24:32.000 -> 24:35.840] out saying like guys who what guests do you want to hear like on the pod like
[24:35.840 -> 24:38.800] who do you want to know and loads of people just messaged us and in general
[24:38.800 -> 24:41.960] was just saying like you know guys been listening to your stuff for a long time
[24:41.960 -> 24:46.320] we've got some really nice shit so maybe on like Thursday's episode we'll kind of go through a few
[24:46.320 -> 24:49.320] voice notes because some people said some lovely stuff yeah yeah so you still
[24:49.320 -> 24:52.320] got some time to send some in but yeah some of the voice notes are amazing to
[24:52.320 -> 24:55.720] hear you guys listening on your way to school work tell us where you're from
[24:55.720 -> 24:59.040] because it's cool hearing that you're all around the world like yeah and
[24:59.040 -> 25:03.360] someone actually people actually suggest like decent guests that aren't even in
[25:03.360 -> 25:06.880] Formula One as well like some bloke said Travis Pastrana.
[25:06.880 -> 25:10.480] Now, Travis Pastrana is going to be almost impossible to get on our pod.
[25:10.480 -> 25:11.360] I know that, I understand that.
[25:11.360 -> 25:13.360] It's impossible mate if we try.
[25:13.360 -> 25:19.760] But I would love, and I'm so happy that we have listeners who also want to hear those
[25:19.760 -> 25:22.800] kinds of people on our pod because I grew up watching Travis Pastrana.
[25:22.800 -> 25:30.560] You know, the first double backflip on a fucking dirt bike? Unbelievable. I would love nothing more than for TP to be sat.
[25:30.560 -> 25:34.880] You don't even know who he is do you? No, that's when you said I thought he was a drama.
[25:34.880 -> 25:38.240] You said first double backflip on a bike, I was thinking I thought he was a drama.
[25:38.240 -> 25:43.200] Travis Pastrana was the first guy in the world to do a double backflip on a motocross bike.
[25:43.200 -> 25:45.600] Okay. I believe it was the X Games.
[25:45.600 -> 25:46.600] Yeah.
[25:46.600 -> 25:47.960] That must have been a pretty amazing moment.
[25:47.960 -> 25:49.120] Bro, I'll show you the clip.
[25:49.120 -> 25:50.120] No, I've seen it.
[25:50.120 -> 25:51.120] You've shown me it before.
[25:51.120 -> 25:52.120] You have seen it?
[25:52.120 -> 25:53.120] Yeah.
[25:53.120 -> 25:54.840] And he throws the bike at the end, comes off, rips his helmet off.
[25:54.840 -> 25:55.840] Amazing.
[25:55.840 -> 25:58.440] That means, I reckon you should try and break a record like that.
[25:58.440 -> 25:59.440] He's a pioneer.
[25:59.440 -> 26:02.000] He is like the Christopher Columbus of 2020.
[26:02.000 -> 26:05.840] And Christopher Columbus is the guy that went around the world, right?
[26:05.840 -> 26:06.840] Discovered America.
[26:06.840 -> 26:09.240] He went all the way around the world.
[26:09.240 -> 26:10.240] I believe so.
[26:10.240 -> 26:11.240] I believe he discovered America.
[26:11.240 -> 26:14.000] So Fernando Alonso is basically Christopher Columbus times two.
[26:14.000 -> 26:15.000] Yeah.
[26:15.000 -> 26:16.000] 2.5!
[26:16.000 -> 26:18.720] Fernando Alonso is basically Travis Pastrana.
[26:18.720 -> 26:19.720] Breaking news!
[26:19.720 -> 26:20.720] Oh!
[26:20.720 -> 26:23.480] It's not very breaking actually, but I thought of something the other day and I thought we
[26:23.480 -> 26:27.040] have to talk about it the pod yeah and now I wanted to talk about on
[26:27.040 -> 26:31.680] the pod because I don't know whether this is just me or whether everyone in
[26:31.680 -> 26:36.800] the world also deals with this same thing depression I'm crippling anxiety
[26:36.800 -> 26:42.240] every time you leave the house. Yeah that's me as well I never like leaving the house. No this is serious.
[26:42.240 -> 26:46.000] Breathing. Everyone breathes.
[26:46.000 -> 26:48.000] Every human breathes, right?
[26:48.000 -> 26:50.000] All the ones that are alive, yeah.
[26:50.000 -> 26:52.000] But whilst we're doing this pod and we're sat here right now
[26:52.000 -> 26:54.000] and you're doing whatever you're doing in your day, listening
[26:54.000 -> 26:56.000] I guarantee you're not thinking about breathing.
[26:56.000 -> 26:58.000] Your body's just doing it.
[26:58.000 -> 27:00.000] Oh yeah.
[27:00.000 -> 27:02.000] It just does it on its own, like naturally, right?
[27:02.000 -> 27:04.000] Yeah, same as like blinking.
[27:04.000 -> 27:10.720] But if you start thinking about it it like now if you take a breath until you forget about it again you've
[27:10.720 -> 27:14.960] got to do all of it you have to keep breathing and the other day it kept me up for like an hour
[27:14.960 -> 27:19.920] because I just was getting so stressed with myself because I had to keep breathing because I was
[27:19.920 -> 27:24.560] thinking about it like think about it breathe and think about it like do your breaths. Yeah yeah yeah
[27:24.560 -> 27:25.800] now you're gonna have to keep doing it until you forget about it, breathe and think about it, like do your breaths. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now you're gonna have to keep doing it
[27:25.800 -> 27:26.920] until you forget about it.
[27:26.920 -> 27:28.000] Yeah.
[27:28.000 -> 27:29.680] Have you not ever fallen asleep though
[27:29.680 -> 27:31.400] and forgotten to breathe?
[27:31.400 -> 27:33.400] Well, I'm still here, so I don't think so.
[27:33.400 -> 27:35.460] I mean, I've done that a couple of times in my life
[27:35.460 -> 27:38.300] when like I've just started drifting off to sleep.
[27:38.300 -> 27:40.880] I'm just dropping off and all of a sudden I'm like,
[27:40.880 -> 27:43.520] ah, I forgot to fucking breathe, I forgot to breathe.
[27:43.520 -> 27:44.360] Mate.
[27:44.360 -> 27:45.220] Yeah, it does happen. No, that's how it is.
[27:45.220 -> 27:47.020] No, the worst is when you fall,
[27:47.020 -> 27:48.900] when you're falling in a dream or something
[27:48.900 -> 27:50.580] and you get that sudden, you know?
[27:50.580 -> 27:51.420] I know.
[27:51.420 -> 27:52.240] Mate, mate, this-
[27:52.240 -> 27:53.820] When you shoot up, that is awful.
[27:53.820 -> 27:55.420] This morning slash last night,
[27:55.420 -> 27:58.140] bam, elbow to my girlfriend's face.
[27:58.140 -> 27:59.060] Oh, that's not good.
[27:59.060 -> 28:00.660] This morning, it wasn't a hard one,
[28:00.660 -> 28:02.860] but I, it was, I checked my phone, it was about-
[28:02.860 -> 28:04.300] Were you asleep when you did this?
[28:04.300 -> 28:09.080] No, I was wide awake, I did it on purpose. it was about 7 a.m. joke is about 7 a.m.
[28:09.080 -> 28:13.720] and I'm glad you clarified yeah it's about 7 a.m. and we weren't ready to get
[28:13.720 -> 28:16.960] up yet because it's Sunday and I was getting up at like 9 you know that's
[28:16.960 -> 28:21.520] what Sundays are for and I clearly had some sort of dream and I don't remember
[28:21.520 -> 28:25.440] doing it but I just went BAM elbow like a clean elbow
[28:25.440 -> 28:26.920] Did you wake up to her screaming?
[28:26.920 -> 28:30.000] Straight to the like the frontal lobe of her face
[28:30.000 -> 28:31.120] No!
[28:31.120 -> 28:34.600] But I don't think it was a hard one because she was absolutely sound afterwards
[28:34.600 -> 28:37.160] And I just kind of looked at her and I was like did I just smack you in the face?
[28:37.160 -> 28:39.520] And she was like yeah, yeah, you did and I was like
[28:40.280 -> 28:42.280] I didn't even say sorry I just went to sleep
[28:42.520 -> 28:45.360] That is awful. You must have said sorry.
[28:45.360 -> 28:47.400] Well, I said sorry in the emergency room
[28:47.400 -> 28:49.200] when they were like sewing up her nose.
[28:49.200 -> 28:54.080] Oh wow, what a race, what a weekend.
[28:54.080 -> 28:57.040] I'm so happy, I'm so happy for the,
[28:57.040 -> 28:58.120] they were saying it at the end,
[28:58.120 -> 28:59.880] like for an average Formula One fan
[28:59.880 -> 29:02.760] or for a neutral fan, amazing.
[29:02.760 -> 29:05.880] And I would consider us pretty neutral fans.
[29:05.880 -> 29:08.880] Like we don't really care in the aspect of who wins.
[29:08.880 -> 29:11.000] I wouldn't be angry if someone wins
[29:11.000 -> 29:12.720] or, you know, upset if someone wins.
[29:12.720 -> 29:13.640] I wouldn't be pissed,
[29:13.640 -> 29:16.180] but I still am rooting for Alonso every race.
[29:16.180 -> 29:18.600] Well, Alonso today, mate.
[29:18.600 -> 29:19.600] I don't know where the car's been
[29:19.600 -> 29:20.640] these last few races, mate.
[29:20.640 -> 29:21.520] I said it last pod,
[29:21.520 -> 29:23.280] I feel like they kind of dropped off a little bit.
[29:23.280 -> 29:28.640] I'm not really sure what's going on. And would say well no I think I do have high hopes for
[29:28.640 -> 29:31.920] Japan because it is looking like it's going to rain potentially.
[29:31.920 -> 29:34.320] Well we said that for this week and there was no rain.
[29:34.320 -> 29:35.320] No.
[29:35.320 -> 29:37.400] So the weather forecast can change pretty quickly.
[29:37.400 -> 29:42.500] It can but I think in previous years, probably the same as Singapore as well, but Japan does
[29:42.500 -> 29:43.840] normally rain most times.
[29:43.840 -> 29:44.840] No.
[29:44.840 -> 29:46.640] Japan's going to be a good race and it's next weekend
[29:46.640 -> 29:49.800] So I like the fact that they're back-to-back. This is a nice leg of the calendar
[29:49.800 -> 29:54.600] Do you know what? I think though mate? I think Japan should also be another street race
[29:55.480 -> 30:03.660] Okay, but the tracks amazing Suzuka's an amazing track like people love it. Yeah, but it's so I know I was chatting again
[30:03.660 -> 30:06.860] So, you know my missus. Sorry my girlfriend
[30:06.860 -> 30:08.860] We don't use that word right
[30:09.360 -> 30:15.200] It's been made very I've got a girlfriend look at me look at me. I've got a girlfriend just because I'm not even gonna
[30:15.200 -> 30:17.640] Go into it make you don't deserve it alright, but
[30:22.920 -> 30:24.920] Just because
[30:24.960 -> 30:27.400] Yeah, so I was chatting to her about it
[30:27.400 -> 30:28.800] because she works in F1,
[30:28.800 -> 30:31.200] so it makes sense for me to talk to her about it.
[30:31.200 -> 30:34.080] And I think, the way I see F1 these days is like-
[30:34.080 -> 30:35.920] Sorry, you got a girlfriend?
[30:35.920 -> 30:37.640] So I've actually got a girlfriend.
[30:38.520 -> 30:42.600] The way I see F1 is like, it's not just a race anymore.
[30:42.600 -> 30:46.480] It's like a massive injection of cash into like whichever
[30:47.240 -> 30:50.040] City or country? Yeah, it's putting it on and
[30:50.720 -> 30:56.920] You think about the amount of people that are traveling to the races the hotels the restaurants the public transport everything
[30:56.920 -> 30:59.880] This is like a surge of income for anywhere
[31:00.560 -> 31:04.560] Tokyo is the most amazing place I've ever been to in my in my life
[31:04.560 -> 31:07.120] It's the it's the craziest city in the world.
[31:07.120 -> 31:08.120] You've always said I'd love it.
[31:08.120 -> 31:10.440] The roads are ma- you would love it, mate.
[31:10.440 -> 31:12.440] I do think I would love it!
[31:12.440 -> 31:15.440] Out of anyone I know, you would be the person the most who loves it.
[31:15.440 -> 31:17.680] Bro, I would walk around dressed as Mario all week,
[31:17.680 -> 31:20.640] and I'd just get in one of them carts and drive around the track.
[31:20.640 -> 31:22.480] Because you can drive around the streets in a cart, can't you?
[31:22.480 -> 31:23.480] Yeah, you can.
[31:23.480 -> 31:26.900] I would just do that everywhere I didn't know friggin
[31:26.900 -> 31:30.760] driver's license when I went off so that is sad when I got a tattoo instead but
[31:30.760 -> 31:33.680] all my friends were just driving around I was bummed about that that was cool
[31:33.680 -> 31:36.880] though yeah it's alright it's a bit lame actually you know yeah
[31:36.880 -> 31:43.040] toes are a bit late mind I got a minion on my leg not many 27 year old men have
[31:43.040 -> 31:45.000] a minion tattooed on their leg.
[31:45.000 -> 31:50.200] But back to Tokyo the roads are so big you could like why that you could
[31:50.200 -> 31:54.840] definitely have a race there it would be unbelievable at night all the lights and
[31:54.840 -> 31:58.620] all the people because everyone will fly into Tokyo for the race but then they
[31:58.620 -> 32:02.160] got a drive or get on a train for three hours to go to Suzuka and I'm pretty
[32:02.160 -> 32:07.680] sure it's in the middle of nowhere and there's a massive cruise ship floating past our house right now look at that
[32:07.680 -> 32:12.920] good lord! how weird is that? there's a cruise ship in the Thames! how on earth do they get a cruise
[32:12.920 -> 32:16.480] ship in the Thames because the Thames can't be that deep I went over there
[32:16.480 -> 32:20.160] the other day that is a big old cruise ship you know you were telling me about
[32:20.160 -> 32:23.320] all the restaurants and stuff down by the water there yeah it's nice over there yeah I went
[32:23.320 -> 32:26.800] there the other day it's a nice area. And you can see actually the
[32:26.800 -> 32:32.080] Thames barriers. Yes you can. Yeah. Yeah well thanks for that. So for anyone who was you
[32:32.080 -> 32:35.080] know still trying to figure out where we live, you know maybe you'd look a little closer.
[32:35.080 -> 32:39.840] Now you're even closer. I don't think they'd ever get rid of Suzuka for one. That's probably
[32:39.840 -> 32:49.000] one of people's favourite tracks. A lot of love it but I could I could definitely see Tokyo Street Circuit F1 be awesome being awesome with all the
[32:49.000 -> 32:53.320] lights I've always thought the same with New York but then also again in New York
[32:53.320 -> 32:56.360] New York would be friggin awesome as well. I don't know if the roads would accommodate it but
[32:56.360 -> 32:59.160] well they would they're huge aren't they like but they're all but they're all
[32:59.160 -> 33:02.480] square yeah that's the thing like I don't know if you could like build it
[33:02.480 -> 33:05.320] around Central Park orycar do it though
[33:06.840 -> 33:11.560] What, they drive through New York? Not New York, but like, you know, with barriers you can make swooping turns, you know, rather than just having to-
[33:11.560 -> 33:13.880] It would be insane in New York
[33:13.880 -> 33:15.640] New York! New York!
[33:15.640 -> 33:16.600] And the Big Apple!
[33:16.880 -> 33:18.800] The Big Pear, mate
[33:19.040 -> 33:19.840] The Big Pear, I would call it
[33:19.840 -> 33:20.680] Have you been to New York?
[33:20.840 -> 33:21.360] Never
[33:21.480 -> 33:22.800] You would love it, I think
[33:23.160 -> 33:23.640] Yeah?
[33:23.640 -> 33:24.800] I think you'd like New York
[33:24.800 -> 33:25.000] Why? It's one of my favourite places in the world Maybe I would I would love it, I think. Yeah? I think you'd like New York.
[33:25.000 -> 33:26.000] Why?
[33:26.000 -> 33:27.000] It's one of my favourite places in the world.
[33:27.000 -> 33:28.000] Maybe I would.
[33:28.000 -> 33:29.000] I would love to live there for a bit.
[33:29.000 -> 33:30.000] Do you know why?
[33:30.000 -> 33:33.000] Because I'd love to walk out in front of a cab and be like, hey I'm walking here!
[33:33.000 -> 33:34.000] I'm walking here!
[33:34.000 -> 33:35.000] Alright?
[33:35.000 -> 33:37.000] And get in an argument with someone on the street.
[33:37.000 -> 33:41.000] No, because when I went to New York, I'm standing there trying to do what people do in the movies.
[33:41.000 -> 33:44.000] You're standing on the side of the road, you're hanging your hand out with your thumb and everyone's
[33:44.000 -> 33:46.480] just looking at me like, what is this guy doing?
[33:46.480 -> 33:47.680] They can just tell you're British.
[33:47.680 -> 33:49.160] They just don't even come near me.
[33:49.160 -> 33:51.680] Do you know what though, there's a lot of Italians in New York right?
[33:51.680 -> 33:53.320] A lot of Italians in New York.
[33:53.320 -> 33:56.680] Especially the American Italians are the kind of, or Italian Americans, are the kind of
[33:56.680 -> 34:00.880] people who you can have some brawling fucking argument with but it's fine, like it's just
[34:00.880 -> 34:01.880] normal.
[34:01.880 -> 34:02.880] Let a bit of steam off.
[34:02.880 -> 34:06.960] So I want to have an argument with an Italian bloke on the streets of New York and then we both
[34:06.960 -> 34:09.120] just shake each other's hand and walk off.
[34:09.120 -> 34:09.960] I'd love that.
[34:09.960 -> 34:10.800] That's the experience I want.
[34:10.800 -> 34:12.160] Make that your mission.
[34:12.160 -> 34:14.000] And then go get a pizza.
[34:14.000 -> 34:15.960] Yeah, what, of a little stand?
[34:15.960 -> 34:17.000] Of a pizza stand.
[34:17.000 -> 34:19.080] Well apparently there's a load of like amazing pizza.
[34:19.080 -> 34:20.600] Did you see that amazing thing that happened
[34:20.600 -> 34:23.200] in New York streets a couple of years ago with Banksy?
[34:24.840 -> 34:26.840] It was amazing. You know, everyone listening or a lot of people must with Banksy. It was a may, you know, everyone listening
[34:26.840 -> 34:28.240] or a lot of people must know Banksy,
[34:28.240 -> 34:29.520] one of the most famous artists.
[34:29.520 -> 34:31.000] So no one really knows who he is.
[34:31.000 -> 34:32.480] He does art in places, wherever.
[34:32.480 -> 34:33.640] It's Max from Gumball.
[34:33.640 -> 34:36.120] Yeah, Max from Gumball is Banksy.
[34:36.120 -> 34:37.960] Okay. Yeah, whatever.
[34:37.960 -> 34:40.440] But in New York a couple of years ago,
[34:40.440 -> 34:42.360] Banksy got like a hundred paintings,
[34:42.360 -> 34:43.960] like a hundred paintings and gave them
[34:43.960 -> 34:45.560] to like a random street stall,
[34:45.560 -> 34:46.800] set up his own one in New York
[34:46.800 -> 34:48.120] and sold them all really cheap.
[34:48.120 -> 34:50.440] And then everyone realized like a month later
[34:50.440 -> 34:52.200] that they'd bought a painting for like $10
[34:52.200 -> 34:53.440] and it was worth like 2 million.
[34:53.440 -> 34:54.400] Oh shit.
[34:54.400 -> 34:55.240] Yeah.
[34:55.240 -> 34:57.440] And no one knew that they were buying like Banksy's art.
[34:57.440 -> 34:58.920] Imagine having the power to do that.
[34:58.920 -> 35:00.680] That is so sick, isn't it?
[35:00.680 -> 35:02.440] Speaking of art, mate,
[35:02.440 -> 35:04.760] I didn't think I'd actually talk about this on the pod,
[35:04.760 -> 35:07.720] but recently I'm not really much of an art guy.
[35:07.720 -> 35:09.840] I feel like I haven't got to that stage in my life yet.
[35:09.840 -> 35:11.760] I had to take art in college to come back.
[35:11.760 -> 35:13.200] Marston said he had to take art.
[35:13.200 -> 35:16.000] I lasted two weeks because of how bad I fucked
[35:16.000 -> 35:17.600] the first project.
[35:17.600 -> 35:18.440] That was bad.
[35:18.440 -> 35:19.280] I feel like I've,
[35:19.280 -> 35:21.700] maybe I'm entering my stage of life now
[35:21.700 -> 35:23.600] when I'm starting to appreciate art a bit more,
[35:23.600 -> 35:24.920] because I found this guy,
[35:24.920 -> 35:29.880] his name is Hiroshi Nagai, right? And for anyone at home who knows or doesn't
[35:29.880 -> 35:35.120] know about it, just Google it anyway, because I think his art is badass. I'd have to show
[35:35.120 -> 35:36.120] you it, but like-
[35:36.120 -> 35:39.240] What does he do? Does he paint? Does he- what color?
[35:39.240 -> 35:40.240] Honestly, mate, I don't-
[35:40.240 -> 35:41.240] Crayons?
[35:41.240 -> 35:45.720] His art looks like it's computer generated. Like it looks like it's been made on a computer
[35:45.720 -> 35:47.640] because the lines are like so straight.
[35:47.640 -> 35:51.060] Everything is so perfect, but I'm fairly sure he paints it.
[35:51.060 -> 35:53.760] And like, you can't, it's hard to get even a print
[35:53.760 -> 35:55.920] of it anywhere, but I really want to get one for the flat
[35:55.920 -> 35:57.040] because it's so nice.
[35:57.040 -> 36:00.200] But you know, like, and this is like,
[36:00.200 -> 36:01.960] this is what people have said online.
[36:01.960 -> 36:04.060] It's like, it gives you a nostalgic feeling
[36:04.060 -> 36:05.740] when you look at it, but like, it's kind of like art based in the eighties. It's like, it gives you a nostalgic feeling when you look at it, but like,
[36:05.740 -> 36:08.260] it's kind of like art based in the eighties.
[36:08.260 -> 36:09.620] It's like eighties style.
[36:09.620 -> 36:10.460] Okay.
[36:10.460 -> 36:11.280] And we were born in 95.
[36:11.280 -> 36:12.380] So how the fuck can it be nostalgic?
[36:12.380 -> 36:13.220] That's probably what you're thinking.
[36:13.220 -> 36:14.620] I was born in 96, which is the year
[36:14.620 -> 36:15.980] Damon Hill won the world championship.
[36:15.980 -> 36:16.820] Is it really?
[36:16.820 -> 36:18.340] I did not know that.
[36:18.340 -> 36:21.800] You learn something new every day, brand new mate, honestly.
[36:21.800 -> 36:23.300] But then I thought, yeah,
[36:23.300 -> 36:26.520] the reason why my generation, our generation might think it's like, well, I'm mate, honestly. But then I thought, yeah, well the reason why our generation might think it's like,
[36:26.520 -> 36:49.440] well, I'm gonna do it with you. ♪ Talking about our generation down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down 80s style mate. Well my mum never let me have Grand Theft Auto because it was an 18. Really? So I used to always go round my friends houses and play. Funny how there's games you can't
[36:49.440 -> 36:54.360] play if you're not 18 yet it's only 16 to join the military. Very strange. Funny that
[36:54.360 -> 36:58.400] innit? My mum never let me have any games. I wasn't even allowed Call of Duty mate. Really?
[36:58.400 -> 37:01.600] Nah. Well that's not true because you were like a Call of Duty like you know. Yeah I
[37:01.600 -> 37:07.000] know. I wasn't allowed it though I had to get it off my friend. If my mom realized I was an 18, I wouldn't.
[37:07.000 -> 37:08.640] The thing is my mom isn't a strict person,
[37:08.640 -> 37:10.240] you know my mom, but when I was a kid,
[37:10.240 -> 37:12.280] like she had like a bit of a hold.
[37:12.280 -> 37:14.000] And then I think one day she was like, right.
[37:14.000 -> 37:17.080] There's no holding Jake in a cage anymore.
[37:17.080 -> 37:18.920] He can now overpower me.
[37:18.920 -> 37:20.160] It's gone.
[37:20.160 -> 37:21.680] She realized that when she tried to ground me
[37:21.680 -> 37:22.600] and I jumped out the window,
[37:22.600 -> 37:23.600] I didn't come back for two days
[37:23.600 -> 37:24.880] and went to stay at my friend's house.
[37:24.880 -> 37:25.920] That was the end.
[37:25.920 -> 37:27.440] I can imagine, yeah.
[37:27.440 -> 37:27.940] Yeah.
[37:27.940 -> 37:30.240] We've kind of veered off topic a little bit, haven't we?
[37:30.240 -> 37:30.740] Yeah.
[37:30.740 -> 37:31.840] Should we veer off even further?
[37:31.840 -> 37:34.640] Which, well, I mean, I like it in a way.
[37:34.640 -> 37:38.560] Well, we had a great chat about Formula. I'm in a great mood because it was a great race!
[37:38.560 -> 37:41.760] It was a really great race. Shame for Russell at the end there.
[37:41.760 -> 37:43.200] Shame for Rocon.
[37:43.200 -> 37:45.520] Um, and shame for Alonso in my books. But- And Yuki. Shame for Russell at the end there. Shame for Rocon.
[37:48.640 -> 37:49.480] And shame for Alonso in my books. But.
[37:49.480 -> 37:50.300] And Yuki.
[37:50.300 -> 37:52.800] What a great fricking race for Sainz.
[37:52.800 -> 37:54.880] What a great race for Norris.
[37:54.880 -> 37:56.200] Lewis back on the podium.
[37:56.200 -> 37:58.720] Sainz has really woken up.
[37:58.720 -> 38:00.600] Well, we all know Sainz is a great driver.
[38:00.600 -> 38:02.800] He's probably the number one at Ferrari now
[38:02.800 -> 38:04.000] with his current performances.
[38:04.000 -> 38:06.800] Like, he's been polled two weeks in a row.
[38:06.800 -> 38:10.080] Ever since the break, he's come back and he's looked alive.
[38:10.080 -> 38:11.500] And today wasn't just-
[38:11.500 -> 38:12.440] Look at that!
[38:12.440 -> 38:14.400] He was so calculated today.
[38:14.400 -> 38:16.840] He showed his inner Fernando Alonso,
[38:16.840 -> 38:18.360] if you don't mind me saying.
[38:18.360 -> 38:20.560] He was controlling the race from the front.
[38:20.560 -> 38:21.680] He would never have lost
[38:21.680 -> 38:24.160] if he didn't play scientifically like that.
[38:24.160 -> 38:25.880] He had to do what he did.
[38:25.880 -> 38:28.560] And he won the race because of it.
[38:28.560 -> 38:32.720] And do we think next week's gonna be back to Japan
[38:32.720 -> 38:34.320] and Red Bull won too?
[38:34.320 -> 38:37.120] Maybe, like Toto said that he expects Red Bull
[38:37.120 -> 38:39.080] to bounce straight back.
[38:39.080 -> 38:40.520] Don't get me wrong, I would love Red Bull
[38:40.520 -> 38:42.240] to be in that battle.
[38:42.240 -> 38:43.880] That's all I want.
[38:43.880 -> 38:46.760] If Red Bull, if Max was in that four at the end
[38:46.760 -> 38:49.520] and there was five of them, it would have been even better.
[38:49.520 -> 38:50.440] Like I could deal with that.
[38:50.440 -> 38:52.840] If Max was in that chain and then he went and won
[38:52.840 -> 38:55.360] and it was like, oh my God, what a drive.
[38:55.360 -> 38:57.160] No one would care if Max won every week.
[38:57.160 -> 39:01.240] It's only when he's like 30 seconds ahead every week.
[39:01.240 -> 39:03.520] Everyone's like, come on.
[39:03.520 -> 39:04.340] Yeah.
[39:04.340 -> 39:05.220] That's it.
[39:05.220 -> 39:06.900] Like that's why it was so amazing today.
[39:06.900 -> 39:09.260] Cause just seeing the way the train was working
[39:09.260 -> 39:11.700] and the fact that Paris was holding up
[39:11.700 -> 39:13.460] like the whole of the middle of the field
[39:13.460 -> 39:15.180] is just hilarious to watch.
[39:15.180 -> 39:16.020] Like.
[39:16.020 -> 39:18.620] Well, let's just see what 2024 holds mate
[39:18.620 -> 39:22.260] because we are slowly starting to wind down.
[39:22.260 -> 39:26.560] There isn't, you know, many races left. I do just also want to point
[39:26.560 -> 39:33.840] out that Lewis Hamilton has now overtaken Fernando Alonso in the driver's standings.
[39:33.840 -> 39:40.400] Which is interesting. My points, my app hasn't actually updated so let me just try and refresh
[39:40.400 -> 39:46.160] the old F1 app here as we dive in to the standings what are they saying
[39:46.160 -> 39:51.820] the standings are saying that yeah yes he's 10 points ahead of Fernando he's
[39:51.820 -> 39:56.740] got 180 points so it's actually all to play for for Fernando now for the at the
[39:56.740 -> 40:02.040] end of the final third of the season we got what we got coming up we have got
[40:02.040 -> 40:07.000] Japan Qatar United States, Mexico, Brazil, Vegas
[40:07.000 -> 40:08.000] Can't wait for Brazil
[40:08.000 -> 40:09.000] And Abu Dhabi
[40:09.000 -> 40:10.000] Cannot wait for Brazil
[40:10.000 -> 40:19.000] At this point in the season, right now, if you had to make a prediction of who will win next year, would you just say Max again?
[40:19.000 -> 40:20.000] Yeah
[40:20.000 -> 40:27.340] Do you think Red Bull were just gonna bounce back? I know that this is after one race I'm just saying if you had to guess for next year who will be the top
[40:27.340 -> 40:32.660] I think max probably top but I don't think it's gonna be as an easy ride as a bigger margin
[40:32.660 -> 40:37.480] And I think it I think next year could be a hell of a lot more of exciting season
[40:37.480 -> 40:41.320] Yeah, I think next year will be crazy. I don't think Red Bull win the Constructors next year
[40:41.320 -> 40:45.720] I think max might win the championship, but I reckon it could be McLaren.
[40:46.760 -> 40:48.800] Because Lando's looking unbelievable,
[40:48.800 -> 40:51.440] and Oscar, you have to give it to the kid.
[40:51.440 -> 40:53.800] It's his first year, and he's remarkable.
[40:53.800 -> 40:55.280] Once he's got them upgrades,
[40:55.280 -> 40:57.160] if they have both them drivers,
[40:57.160 -> 40:59.160] second, third, fourth, fifth, every week,
[40:59.160 -> 41:01.240] I reckon McLaren will be right up there.
[41:01.240 -> 41:03.680] They make way less mistakes than Ferrari.
[41:03.680 -> 41:05.960] Yeah, could be interesting, mate.
[41:05.960 -> 41:07.600] I think next year will be really good.
[41:07.600 -> 41:09.200] Well, we better stick around and make sure
[41:09.200 -> 41:11.040] that we're locked in and loaded for it, mate.
[41:11.040 -> 41:12.400] Let's lock and load.
[41:12.400 -> 41:14.080] Let's lock and load, but guys,
[41:14.080 -> 41:19.080] that is the end of our Singapore Grand Prix roundup.

[41:22.960 -> 41:25.680] We'll be back on Thursday for Japan

[42:21.200 -> 42:26.180] of the drivers make 20% of their overall package
[42:26.180 -> 42:31.160] So if you're a direct manager, I don't know if it's all but it's some but like they have more than one driver
[42:31.580 -> 42:35.240] So being a manager of f1 drivers. Yeah, you're fucking sore
[42:35.240 -> 42:41.640] It is mad you are one in 20% of everything they earn for their whole career. Yeah, it's not bad

[45:04.700 -> 45:07.900] But these days, I'm less confident in the economy.
