[01:04.400 -> 01:06.080] Like, what is the actual difference between-
[01:06.080 -> 01:08.080] Jake Newey? I'm gonna start calling you-
[01:08.080 -> 01:10.080] Adam Seagull! Like what is the actual difference-
[01:10.080 -> 01:12.080] I'm gonna start calling you Jake Buscombe.
[01:12.080 -> 01:14.080] Genuinely, how much Jake Buscombe-
[01:14.080 -> 01:16.080] How much time do you reckon you lose from me-
[01:16.080 -> 01:18.080] Jake Seagull!
[01:18.080 -> 01:36.000] Shout out Bruce Buscombe! That was good. 61 laps, 60 and F, changing track conditions, and it's Sergio Perez who takes the win at
[01:36.000 -> 01:37.000] Singapore.
[01:37.000 -> 01:40.000] Welcome back to the BitStop podcast.
[01:40.000 -> 01:42.000] That was electric.
[01:42.000 -> 01:45.000] That was an unbelievable race from Sergio Perez.
[01:45.000 -> 01:47.000] What a race we've just watched.
[01:47.000 -> 01:51.000] At the time of filming this podcast though, we're technically coming to them live from the stewards room.
[01:51.000 -> 01:55.000] Because the decision actually hasn't come out about that safety car thing.
[01:55.000 -> 01:56.000] It's still being made.
[01:56.000 -> 02:01.000] So we potentially could lose the win live on air.
[02:01.000 -> 02:03.000] Which would be crazy.
[02:03.000 -> 02:12.000] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Pit Stop Podcast. This is a very special episode today because today is the 69th episode of the Pit Stop Podcast.
[02:12.000 -> 02:17.000] Yeah, it sure is! And Sergio Perez is on top!
[02:17.000 -> 02:18.000] Top!
[02:20.000 -> 02:22.000] With LeClerc behind.
[02:22.000 -> 02:24.000] Okay, okay!
[02:24.000 -> 02:27.160] We've got an interesting episode today.
[02:27.160 -> 02:28.520] Well, it's a bonus episode almost.
[02:28.520 -> 02:29.680] I know it is our normal episode,
[02:29.680 -> 02:31.680] but we've been throwing out the bonuses left, right,
[02:31.680 -> 02:33.640] and center, so you never quite know what you're getting.
[02:33.640 -> 02:35.180] Oh, you mean the Jake and Fab Eps?
[02:35.180 -> 02:36.020] Yeah, when we-
[02:36.020 -> 02:37.160] Just the solo ones.
[02:37.160 -> 02:39.780] Yeah, yeah, because we've been doing so many guests,
[02:39.780 -> 02:42.920] and we do actually have a mega guest coming,
[02:42.920 -> 02:44.280] but we don't need to talk about that.
[02:44.280 -> 02:45.380] We're going to talk about the race.
[02:45.380 -> 02:46.220] We haven't got to talk about that,
[02:46.220 -> 02:47.460] but it's going to be an...
[02:48.580 -> 02:50.540] And can you believe he's coming to the flat?
[02:50.540 -> 02:52.140] Yeah, no, I actually can't.
[02:52.140 -> 02:53.180] I actually can't.
[02:53.180 -> 02:54.420] Ridiculous.
[02:54.420 -> 02:56.740] People on BitStop Podcast, make sure you stick around,

[02:59.940 -> 03:02.780] However, let's not sleep on this episode
[03:02.780 -> 03:04.780] because what an amazing race we just watched.
[03:04.780 -> 03:05.600] I can't wait.
[03:05.600 -> 03:06.720] We've got Fab's notebook coming up.
[03:06.720 -> 03:07.720] Oh no.
[03:07.720 -> 03:11.120] Jake's got, okay, you've got a few notes as well.
[03:11.120 -> 03:14.480] Then I saw you're writing everything.
[03:14.480 -> 03:15.320] My Roman.
[03:15.320 -> 03:17.320] I saw you're writing everything and I just thought,
[03:17.320 -> 03:18.760] no, one of us should do it
[03:18.760 -> 03:20.960] because you're just way more tactical
[03:20.960 -> 03:22.920] and you've got such more eye for it.
[03:22.920 -> 03:24.000] Yeah, but I like the way that you bring
[03:24.000 -> 03:26.640] all the numbers at the end, the standings.
[03:26.640 -> 03:29.160] I just like everything that you do.
[03:29.160 -> 03:30.920] I can throw a few things into the equation
[03:30.920 -> 03:33.880] to make today's episode of the Pit Stop podcast great.
[03:33.880 -> 03:35.900] But yeah, Singapore was an amazing race.
[03:35.900 -> 03:37.520] We're going to go through it start to finish,
[03:37.520 -> 03:39.620] talk about everything that happened,
[03:39.620 -> 03:42.360] dive deep into some of the little technical,
[03:42.360 -> 03:45.280] nitty gritty bits that you may not understand.
[03:45.280 -> 03:46.120] Okay.
[03:46.120 -> 03:46.940] Yeah.
[03:46.940 -> 03:48.280] I mean, you got some of them in your notebook.
[03:48.280 -> 03:49.120] I've got absolutely.
[03:49.120 -> 03:49.960] I'm looking at you.
[03:49.960 -> 03:50.780] I got lovin'.
[03:50.780 -> 03:55.320] Well, the first thing I wrote down was a thing
[03:55.320 -> 03:56.960] they said on Sky Sports for the race.
[03:56.960 -> 03:58.400] And I just want to quickly address it
[03:58.400 -> 03:59.920] because I find it crazy.
[03:59.920 -> 04:03.820] Max Verstappen has won more times than Leclerc.
[04:03.820 -> 04:04.660] No, sorry.
[04:04.660 -> 04:06.300] Max Verstappen has won more times when Leclerc. No, sorry. Max Verstappen has won more times
[04:06.300 -> 04:09.140] when Leclerc is on pole than Leclerc has.
[04:09.140 -> 04:11.400] Oh my God.
[04:11.400 -> 04:12.680] That's a crazy stat.
[04:12.680 -> 04:14.240] That is an unbelievable stat.
[04:14.240 -> 04:15.820] However, Max Verstappen didn't win today.
[04:15.820 -> 04:18.360] The championship goes on.
[04:18.360 -> 04:20.040] We saw a few drastic things happen today.
[04:20.040 -> 04:22.400] Things, you know, didn't always go the way
[04:22.400 -> 04:24.040] that it should have been for some drivers.
[04:24.040 -> 04:26.320] Fernando Alonso, why don't you give the people the stats
[04:26.320 -> 04:28.320] about this race for him?
[04:28.320 -> 04:31.840] Today was Fernando's, Fernando Alonso's
[04:31.840 -> 04:34.320] 350th race in Formula One.
[04:34.320 -> 04:36.220] He broke so many records today as well,
[04:36.220 -> 04:38.000] like most time on the track.
[04:38.000 -> 04:40.120] Yeah, basically Fernando Alonso is just a legend,
[04:40.120 -> 04:40.960] but unfortunately-
[04:40.960 -> 04:41.920] 350 races, bro.
[04:41.920 -> 04:43.280] Didn't finish the race, did he?
[04:43.280 -> 04:44.720] He was watching it from the side at the end,
[04:44.720 -> 04:46.120] looked like an engine failure.
[04:46.120 -> 04:48.440] I like how he was just sat there with,
[04:48.440 -> 04:50.160] who I assume is just a random guy.
[04:50.160 -> 04:51.000] Yeah, I thought he was.
[04:51.000 -> 04:51.920] Not a random guy, he looks like he was like
[04:51.920 -> 04:52.920] one of the stewards or whatever,
[04:52.920 -> 04:53.760] but he was just sat there chilling.
[04:53.760 -> 04:55.400] That's just Fernando Alonso all over.
[04:55.400 -> 04:56.240] Yeah.
[04:56.240 -> 04:57.060] He's such a legend.
[04:57.060 -> 04:57.900] No deck chair today though.
[04:57.900 -> 04:59.000] No deck chair today.
[04:59.000 -> 05:01.200] 350th race for him it was, he didn't finish.
[05:01.200 -> 05:02.840] We had six DNFs today.
[05:03.960 -> 05:08.360] Everyone had to change their strategies throughout. There were numerous times I looked at Fab and said
[05:08.360 -> 05:11.160] why have they done that I'm sure everyone at home was the same when
[05:11.160 -> 05:13.760] Russell came out and their mediums do you know what I think they've done a
[05:13.760 -> 05:16.960] really good job out recently the commentators Brundle and Crofty is
[05:16.960 -> 05:21.240] actually explaining stuff now yeah yeah yeah I feel like I'm we're constantly
[05:21.240 -> 05:26.320] learning I've actually learned more this episode and they've been funny they said if I had a few little jokes in there what did they
[05:26.320 -> 05:30.040] say I will come to it will come to it
[05:30.040 -> 05:34.280] ladies and gentlemen let's jump straight to fabs notebook because I can see the
[05:34.280 -> 05:37.520] excitement on his face is a massive smile and he can't stop shaking
[05:37.520 -> 05:47.680] welcome to fabs notebook hello hello and welcome back to fabs notebook. I am joined here with Jake boys today
[05:47.680 -> 05:50.180] And we just had the Singapore's Grand Prix Singapore
[05:54.320 -> 05:57.920] Let's just dive straight into it because straight off the bat there was some interesting stuff
[05:57.920 -> 06:03.920] Which happened right at the start of the race most notably I would say is max Verstappen not having the greatest start at all
[06:04.280 -> 06:09.720] Yeah, I think didn't go to plan, did it? Which was strange because Perez was so quick off
[06:09.720 -> 06:12.160] the line. Max was just slow off the line.
[06:12.160 -> 06:13.160] Well, he went into anti-stall.
[06:13.160 -> 06:14.160] Oh, really?
[06:14.160 -> 06:15.160] Yes.
[06:15.160 -> 06:16.160] So how does that happen?
[06:16.160 -> 06:24.120] Well, let me tell you. I don't know. I think it's one of those things which can happen.
[06:24.120 -> 06:25.200] It just happens, right? Yeah, you just got to have your finger in the right place. You know about that. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I think it's one of those things which can happen. It just happens right?
[06:25.200 -> 06:26.520] Yeah, you just got to have your finger in the right place.
[06:26.520 -> 06:27.520] Yeah, I know.
[06:27.520 -> 06:28.520] Yeah, you know about that.
[06:28.520 -> 06:32.520] Well Leclerc started pole and by the first corner Perez had taken the lead and then Perez
[06:32.520 -> 06:34.880] was in the lead for the rest of the race.
[06:34.880 -> 06:36.280] Max dropped back into 12th.
[06:36.280 -> 06:37.280] Yeah.
[06:37.280 -> 06:38.280] Yeah.
[06:38.280 -> 06:39.800] From 8th, I think he started in 8th.
[06:39.800 -> 06:40.960] He did start 8th.
[06:40.960 -> 06:43.760] But Max had one of them up and down races, he was back of the grid, then working his
[06:43.760 -> 06:47.040] way through, back of the grid, working his way through back of the grid working his way through it was like it
[06:47.040 -> 06:50.880] just a strange race for everyone well I I missed quali yesterday because I was
[06:50.880 -> 06:53.800] at my sister's wedding congratulations to Nikki and Joe
[06:53.800 -> 06:58.160] crazy yeah I said what actually happened with Max in quali right explain it for
[06:58.160 -> 07:01.840] anyone who doesn't know. You want to flip it over to Jake? You want me to give an explanation?
[07:01.840 -> 07:05.080] We can go to Jake's notebook for a minute. Okay, okay. Hi guys!
[07:05.080 -> 07:09.120] Right, so Max was set in a blinder, okay?
[07:09.120 -> 07:11.040] It was his last lap, the time was running out,
[07:11.040 -> 07:12.840] he had to beat Leclerc for pole.
[07:12.840 -> 07:15.440] And he was beating him, first, second sector.
[07:15.440 -> 07:19.840] And he was about nearly a second up on, down, sorry,
[07:19.840 -> 07:22.240] on Leclerc into the last corner.
[07:22.240 -> 07:25.560] But they just told him to box, like right at the end.
[07:25.560 -> 07:27.320] Obviously they'd given him a warning a little bit,
[07:27.320 -> 07:28.520] and then you can see him in the car
[07:28.520 -> 07:29.720] controlling it a bit differently.
[07:29.720 -> 07:31.200] He's thinking, why are they telling me to box?
[07:31.200 -> 07:32.880] So he's coming around the last corner.
[07:32.880 -> 07:34.560] No, they told him to box a little bit before that,
[07:34.560 -> 07:36.760] then they confirmed box, box, just for the last corner.
[07:36.760 -> 07:37.680] But he was on a hot lap.
[07:37.680 -> 07:38.960] He was on, it would have been pole,
[07:38.960 -> 07:41.160] without a doubt, he only had to get around the final corner.
[07:41.160 -> 07:42.440] They had to pull him into the pits
[07:42.440 -> 07:44.720] because he was running out of fuel.
[07:44.720 -> 07:46.800] So obviously because qualifying was crazy yesterday.
[07:46.800 -> 07:48.200] Running out of fuel?
[07:48.200 -> 07:50.280] Right, so with the different tire compound yesterday
[07:50.280 -> 07:52.200] and qualifying was so messed up and crazy,
[07:52.200 -> 07:53.840] not every, a lot of people stayed out
[07:53.840 -> 07:55.760] and put more fuel in their cars
[07:55.760 -> 07:57.160] because the lap time was slower anyway,
[07:57.160 -> 07:58.680] because it was wet.
[07:58.680 -> 07:59.500] So they could just,
[07:59.500 -> 08:01.000] they just filled the cars out more basically.
[08:01.000 -> 08:01.840] What and Red Bull didn't?
[08:01.840 -> 08:03.080] Which means you got more laps out.
[08:03.080 -> 08:05.440] No, pretty much everyone did it. But what happened was basically towards the end, Red Bull were running out more basically. And Red Bull didn't. Which means you got more laps out. No, pretty much everyone did it.
[08:05.440 -> 08:07.440] But what happened was basically towards the end,
[08:07.440 -> 08:09.440] Red Bull were running out of fuel.
[08:09.440 -> 08:11.440] And if Verstappen had finished that lap,
[08:11.440 -> 08:13.600] he obviously would have had to go all the way around again.
[08:13.600 -> 08:15.840] And then he wouldn't have passed the FIA check
[08:15.840 -> 08:17.880] where they have to take a litre of fuel
[08:17.880 -> 08:20.160] out of the Formula One car to test it.
[08:20.160 -> 08:21.720] But he would have had less than a litre,
[08:21.720 -> 08:23.520] so he would have started from the back of the grid.
[08:23.520 -> 08:25.760] So Red Bull had to make the decision to stop him.
[08:25.760 -> 08:28.480] I wonder why they have to take a litre of fuel.
[08:28.480 -> 08:31.120] Like I can understand why they have to test it, but why a litre?
[08:31.120 -> 08:33.360] I can only imagine it's to get an accurate reading,
[08:33.360 -> 08:36.960] like a complete accurate reading to check that no one's doing anything wrong.
[08:36.960 -> 08:41.600] Like if you can only get an inch of it, then an ounce of it, sorry.
[08:41.600 -> 08:43.920] How do you, what's a lower measure than a litre?
[08:49.300 -> 08:50.720] A litre, god, I absolutely stripped for an ounce.
[08:52.320 -> 08:53.520] Flipping between metric and fucking, you did this last time.
[08:54.760 -> 08:55.600] No, yeah, that happened.
[08:55.600 -> 08:57.120] That's why Verstappen wasn't on pole.
[08:57.120 -> 08:59.040] And then he didn't finish his lap, so he was eighth.
[08:59.040 -> 09:01.840] Did you know that the fuel that they use
[09:01.840 -> 09:04.200] in a Formula One car is 99% the same
[09:04.200 -> 09:07.000] as the fuel that you use in your regular everyday road car.
[09:07.000 -> 09:09.000] And the little 0.1% is?
[09:09.000 -> 09:11.000] Orange juice.
[09:11.000 -> 09:15.000] I keep seeing so many comments on our stuff by the way about that.
[09:15.000 -> 09:17.000] People making jokes about orange juice.
[09:17.000 -> 09:19.000] It's not even funny.
[09:19.000 -> 09:20.000] I think it's hilarious.
[09:20.000 -> 09:21.000] Thank you.
[09:21.000 -> 09:24.000] Until they actually, everyone starts using it, then Red Bull won't have an advantage anymore.
[09:24.000 -> 09:28.000] True. Well, we do know that there is some questionable stuff going on with Red Bull at the moment.
[09:28.000 -> 09:30.000] Oh, we could dive into that a little bit.
[09:30.000 -> 09:37.000] I don't know enough about it, and I don't think we should touch on it too much yet, because it still hasn't been confirmed, you know what I mean?
[09:37.000 -> 09:42.000] Yeah, I completely agree. It's talk within the paddock, and there's no need to jump on something and assume.
[09:42.000 -> 09:45.440] But basically, the talk in the paddock is that two teams
[09:45.440 -> 09:46.560] have gone over the budget cap.
[09:46.560 -> 09:48.040] Oh, hang on, two teams?
[09:48.040 -> 09:50.280] Yeah, one has gone over minor,
[09:50.280 -> 09:53.680] like gone over a tiny bit, like under 5%.
[09:53.680 -> 09:56.200] I don't wanna, you know, the thing is, right,
[09:56.200 -> 09:58.800] I don't wanna spill, like live on air, you know.
[09:58.800 -> 10:00.400] Understandable, understandable.
[10:00.400 -> 10:02.360] No, I don't actually know who the other team is,
[10:02.360 -> 10:04.160] but then there's talk that basically Red Bull
[10:04.160 -> 10:05.640] have gone majorly over but
[10:05.800 -> 10:11.500] All credit to Red Bull. No, no, no decisions and nothing can be said until it's final. Okay?
[10:12.040 -> 10:17.560] Because they might not have gone over the budget cap. Well Christian Horner seems fairly convinced that they've done nothing wrong
[10:17.560 -> 10:17.880] Yeah
[10:17.880 -> 10:23.480] Which is funny because the Ferrari team boss and Toto seem absolutely dead certain that they have. Which is also funny because my brother-in-law
[10:23.480 -> 10:25.120] Is the spit image of Christian Horner.
[10:25.120 -> 10:26.920] Yeah, he actually is.
[10:26.920 -> 10:28.520] And he's a cross of Jenson Button.
[10:28.520 -> 10:30.040] He looks like, yeah, Ollie.
[10:30.040 -> 10:31.880] He holds himself like Christian Horner so much.
[10:31.880 -> 10:33.520] He literally, he stands like Christian Horner,
[10:33.520 -> 10:35.120] but he's also got a bit of Jenson in him.
[10:35.120 -> 10:37.920] Which, two handsome blokes, so fair enough.
[10:37.920 -> 10:38.740] Very fair.
[10:38.740 -> 10:39.580] Very fair.
[10:39.580 -> 10:42.680] So we had a Williams crash very early on.
[10:42.680 -> 10:43.500] Yeah.
[10:43.500 -> 10:44.340] That was a first lap as well.
[10:44.340 -> 10:46.120] I found it funny how the commentators
[10:46.120 -> 10:47.760] were like, oh, it's Latifi.
[10:47.760 -> 10:51.760] It wasn't even Latifi, I felt so bad for him.
[10:51.760 -> 10:54.400] He just goes spinning out, goes flying backwards.
[10:54.400 -> 10:55.920] They were quite good on that corner though.
[10:55.920 -> 10:58.520] I do like the way they can just go in it,
[10:58.520 -> 11:00.920] put their foot on the pedal a little bit,
[11:00.920 -> 11:03.000] spin round and then they're coming back out on the track.
[11:03.000 -> 11:05.040] I imagine if I were in an ice van like that,
[11:05.040 -> 11:06.960] I'd do it once and I'd just be fucking spinning
[11:06.960 -> 11:09.400] for about two minutes trying to find the front.
[11:09.400 -> 11:11.360] Yeah, they're on the radio, Jake, just a press of the lighter.
[11:11.360 -> 11:13.760] I can't stop, like I honestly can't stop spinning.
[11:13.760 -> 11:16.960] Guys, I can't stop.
[11:16.960 -> 11:18.560] My tires, man.
[11:18.560 -> 11:20.640] My tires, my tires.
[11:20.640 -> 11:22.160] We had Latifi crush into Joe,
[11:22.160 -> 11:24.120] which ultimately put Joe out of the race,
[11:24.120 -> 11:29.000] which is quite sad because it was you that said that it was the first time that Joe's parents were at a race.
[11:29.000 -> 11:39.000] Well, don't a million percent quote me on it, but not long ago in a podcast before our one, he said that his dad never watched him actually race in Formula One, never been there.
[11:39.000 -> 11:46.840] So he may have in the time between being him going on beyond the grid to that, but his definitely hasn't been to many races and his dad was there in Singapore which I
[11:46.840 -> 11:49.300] think is why he looks so upset.
[11:49.300 -> 11:52.300] Well didn't he tell us that on the podcast and there hasn't been a race since?
[11:52.300 -> 11:56.100] I'm not sure, no I don't think he told us that on the podcast, I think he said that on Beyond the Grid.
[11:56.100 -> 11:57.600] He might have told us on our pod.
[11:57.600 -> 11:59.300] Oh yeah it was on Beyond the Grid, shoutout Beyond the Grid.
[11:59.300 -> 12:03.800] So his dad was there today so it was sad to see Joe go out because it was definitely not Joe's fault
[12:03.800 -> 12:10.240] like as you watch it Latifi literally just owns up to being like I didn't see him which is such a shame. I've heard
[12:10.240 -> 12:14.880] Latifi use that excuse before man. I didn't see him. You have to yeah you have to use your mirrors
[12:14.880 -> 12:18.240] that's what they're there for. Matt Gallagher tweeted someone tell Latifi to use his mirrors
[12:18.240 -> 12:22.800] or something like that someone remind Latifi he's got mirrors. Mate it makes like we've been over
[12:22.800 -> 12:26.680] this time and time again we don't have to go into this into this. We don't need to go to it again.
[12:26.680 -> 12:28.360] Nick Davies for 2023.
[12:28.360 -> 12:29.200] Let's go.
[12:29.200 -> 12:30.200] Do you actually think it's going to be Nick Davies?
[12:30.200 -> 12:32.600] Well, after watching Ted's notebook,
[12:32.600 -> 12:33.800] it looks like he could be going anywhere.
[12:33.800 -> 12:35.680] He even said Aston Martin with a little wink.
[12:35.680 -> 12:36.520] Yeah.
[12:36.520 -> 12:38.160] I think he said Alfa Tauri with a little wink.
[12:38.160 -> 12:41.240] I think there's a chance that it could not be Nick Davies
[12:41.240 -> 12:42.080] at Williams though.
[12:42.080 -> 12:43.320] The other teams do want him.
[12:43.320 -> 12:45.000] Well, that's literally what I'm just saying.
[12:45.000 -> 12:48.880] So if he goes to AlphaTauri, that would be an interesting one because who's leaving?
[12:48.880 -> 12:52.560] Now you said Pierre Gasly is leaving AlphaTauri.
[12:52.560 -> 12:54.200] Oh I don't know about you, Sed!
[12:54.200 -> 12:56.200] Like I don't want to be yelled at quite in the ballpark for telling me this stuff.
[12:56.200 -> 13:00.200] You specifically told me with confidence, Pierre Gasly is leaving AlphaTauri.
[13:00.200 -> 13:03.360] I'm also the same guy that told you Oscar Piastri is going to sign for McLaren.
[13:03.360 -> 13:05.360] No, sorry, Mercedes. I get everything wrong.
[13:05.360 -> 13:08.840] So I wouldn't take anything that I actually said right.
[13:08.840 -> 13:11.240] But we're learning as fast as we can.
[13:11.240 -> 13:15.360] We're just watching Sky Sports at the moment live to wait for the review on Perez's penalty.
[13:15.360 -> 13:19.440] Yeah, we've got Simon Lazenby, Paul di Resta and Naomi Schiff on the TV.
[13:19.440 -> 13:20.440] Ted Kravitz.
[13:20.440 -> 13:21.440] What a guy.
[13:21.440 -> 13:23.440] He has done an amazing job, hasn't he?
[13:23.440 -> 13:25.280] Don't you think, over the last couple of weeks?
[13:25.280 -> 13:26.860] Well he hasn't been on it, he wasn't on it
[13:26.860 -> 13:27.700] for a couple of weeks was he?
[13:27.700 -> 13:28.780] A couple of weeks, yeah, yeah.
[13:28.780 -> 13:30.220] And then he's come back for Singapore
[13:30.220 -> 13:32.680] and like he just changes the game.
[13:32.680 -> 13:35.000] Ted, you need to come on the pod,
[13:35.000 -> 13:37.940] cause everyone loves ya, no one knows enough about ya.
[13:37.940 -> 13:39.540] So you need to come on the Pit Stop Podcast
[13:39.540 -> 13:41.620] and we need the full Ted story.
[13:41.620 -> 13:43.340] I think it would be great, he'd be a dream app.
[13:43.340 -> 13:45.620] We'll work on it guys. We'll work on it.
[13:45.620 -> 13:46.560] I reckon we can make it happen.
[13:46.560 -> 13:47.400] Yeah.
[13:47.400 -> 13:48.220] Do you think we should reach out?
[13:48.220 -> 13:49.560] Yeah, we'll definitely get Ted, no worries.
[13:49.560 -> 13:50.560] See you soon, Ted.
[13:50.560 -> 13:52.280] Have we already told people that we bumped into him
[13:52.280 -> 13:53.240] and asked him to come on anyway?
[13:53.240 -> 13:54.080] Yeah, I think so.
[13:54.080 -> 13:54.920] I think people may have an interest.
[13:54.920 -> 13:57.000] I wanted to make us look really cool.
[13:57.000 -> 13:58.880] Ted, please come on.
[13:58.880 -> 14:00.760] I've actually wrote down in Hamilton lap three,
[14:00.760 -> 14:02.220] I wrote down when he radioed in and said,
[14:02.220 -> 14:04.560] "'Guys, you should have listened to me.
[14:04.560 -> 14:06.320] "'I have no grip, which I thought was interesting
[14:06.320 -> 14:08.000] because Mercedes and Hamilton always seem to be
[14:08.000 -> 14:09.500] quite in sync with strategy.
[14:10.680 -> 14:13.200] On reflection, at the time, we thought it was him saying
[14:13.200 -> 14:15.640] he wanted full wets, but it was actually him saying
[14:15.640 -> 14:18.240] that what set of Inters he wanted to use.
[14:18.240 -> 14:19.080] Which is interesting.
[14:19.080 -> 14:19.920] I thought that was a bit strange.
[14:19.920 -> 14:21.880] Like, why would he pick wets
[14:21.880 -> 14:23.960] when everyone else was on Inters?
[14:23.960 -> 14:25.220] I don't know.
[14:25.220 -> 14:26.980] On reflection of watching it though,
[14:26.980 -> 14:30.740] I do wonder whether if someone had started on wets,
[14:30.740 -> 14:32.620] they would have done well.
[14:32.620 -> 14:35.860] Because they were very slow lap times at the beginning.
[14:35.860 -> 14:37.100] It was very wet.
[14:37.100 -> 14:39.280] It probably took, what, like 15, 20 laps
[14:39.280 -> 14:41.780] for a proper dry line to form.
[14:41.780 -> 14:44.660] Yeah, but they wouldn't have had to go as slow
[14:44.660 -> 14:46.560] through the corners where everyone had to snail around
[14:46.840 -> 14:52.080] Until the dry line was formed. I do wonder whether someone should have took a gamble from the back on wet
[14:52.520 -> 14:55.440] Hmm, like what is the actual difference between Jake Newey?
[14:56.800 -> 15:00.320] Adam Seagal like what is the other one you Jake Buscombe?
[15:00.600 -> 15:02.280] Genuinely, how much?
[15:02.280 -> 15:04.520] How much time do you reckon you lose from?
[15:05.000 -> 15:08.000] genuinely how much time do you reckon you lose from me? Jake Seagull
[15:08.000 -> 15:09.000] Shout out Bruce Buscombe
[15:09.000 -> 15:14.000] anytime you say Adam Seagull it absolutely kills me on the inside
[15:14.000 -> 15:19.000] no Zach Brown is the team boss of McLaren I'm not having it any other way
[15:19.000 -> 15:24.000] honestly answer me seriously how much time do you think you lose wets to intermediates?
[15:24.000 -> 15:26.800] you can't put it like that,
[15:26.800 -> 15:28.120] because different conditions.
[15:28.120 -> 15:30.120] So do you not think starting on wets today
[15:30.120 -> 15:31.960] would have been beneficial until a dry line was there?
[15:31.960 -> 15:33.640] You were telling me that the fucking intermediates
[15:33.640 -> 15:35.400] are going to blow up after 29 laps.
[15:35.400 -> 15:38.680] No, they did in Turkey in 2016 or something like that.
[15:38.680 -> 15:41.600] The life expectancy of an intermediate is only 29 laps.
[15:41.600 -> 15:43.960] If they go over that, they are going to explode.
[15:43.960 -> 15:46.240] I'm thinking, fuck me, they're only 30 laps.
[15:46.240 -> 15:47.080] This is gonna be insane.
[15:47.080 -> 15:49.200] I was trying to build the tension, mate.
[15:49.200 -> 15:50.960] You gotta make it as exciting as you can.
[15:50.960 -> 15:51.800] No, genuinely.
[15:51.800 -> 15:52.620] You did make it more exciting.
[15:52.620 -> 15:54.300] Someone could have started on wets today,
[15:54.300 -> 15:55.700] because there was a safety car early,
[15:55.700 -> 15:57.200] so they could have then swapped
[15:57.200 -> 15:58.960] once there was a dry line in this,
[15:58.960 -> 15:59.920] and they could have benefited.
[15:59.920 -> 16:01.220] But if everyone else is on inters,
[16:01.220 -> 16:03.000] then you're no worse off.
[16:03.000 -> 16:04.360] Unless you're not in the top 10,
[16:04.360 -> 16:06.560] but then realistically, the top 10 meant nothing today
[16:06.560 -> 16:07.960] because there were six DNFs.
[16:07.960 -> 16:08.800] Yeah.
[16:08.800 -> 16:10.520] Like didn't Aston Martins finish sixth and seventh?
[16:10.520 -> 16:12.000] Strove sixth.
[16:12.000 -> 16:14.640] I haven't seen that many DNFs before.
[16:14.640 -> 16:15.760] I think we...
[16:15.760 -> 16:18.040] At the start of the year, there was six, wasn't there?
[16:18.040 -> 16:18.880] Oh yeah, I think there was.
[16:18.880 -> 16:19.800] There was, there was.
[16:19.800 -> 16:21.960] Like a few races in, there was another six DNFs.
[16:21.960 -> 16:28.880] I wonder what the most amount of DNFs in a race ever is if you know send it to us at pitstop on Instagram let us know one
[16:28.880 -> 16:32.920] thing that I had which was um I thought was really exciting and I could be wrong
[16:32.920 -> 16:38.840] here but K-Mag came into the pits to fix his nose cone and change his tires and
[16:38.840 -> 16:42.400] when I was looking at his car getting done I was looking at the front left
[16:42.400 -> 16:50.840] tire and he only had one pit crew on the tire huh so there was a guy kneeling down right and I missed the
[16:50.840 -> 16:55.320] first bit but I see him push the tire on with both hands he put the put it on the
[16:55.320 -> 16:58.760] nut pushed it with both hands pick the gun up and then screwed the wheel on
[16:58.760 -> 17:02.440] what there's one guy surely they lost so much time but then is it because the
[17:02.440 -> 17:04.920] others were on the nose they were changing the nose cone so does it matter
[17:04.920 -> 17:06.960] because they don't have to be in such a rush, but is that what it is?
[17:06.960 -> 17:11.480] Then is that is it like double duties that this does the second man from the tire go help fix?
[17:11.480 -> 17:11.960] Yeah
[17:11.960 -> 17:16.240] Because if you've got it's gonna take like at least 10 seconds change in ice cone
[17:16.240 -> 17:19.280] So and you need two people either side because there's two bolts either side
[17:19.320 -> 17:25.960] So do you reckon the two extra people from the front do the nose cone and the back tires still have two people on each.
[17:25.960 -> 17:26.800] Yeah, I do.
[17:26.800 -> 17:28.080] And that's a very good spot
[17:28.080 -> 17:30.000] because that is probably why people like
[17:30.000 -> 17:31.040] listen to Pitsdip Podcasts
[17:31.040 -> 17:32.480] because it's only me and you that would like
[17:32.480 -> 17:34.720] know it's something so simple
[17:34.720 -> 17:36.300] and be like, why did that happen?
[17:36.300 -> 17:38.080] Why was there only one person?
[17:38.080 -> 17:39.080] But no, that is very true.
[17:39.080 -> 17:40.380] I was trying to wrap my head around it.
[17:40.380 -> 17:42.200] Yeah, no, because it takes so long
[17:42.200 -> 17:43.400] to change your front wing.
[17:43.400 -> 17:44.880] I think they might as well just do that.
[17:44.880 -> 17:46.640] All I have here on my notes is like safety
[17:46.640 -> 17:51.680] car safety car virtual safety car safety car safety car we had three safety
[17:51.680 -> 17:55.040] cars and two virtual safety cars this race i haven't got many notes left but i
[17:55.040 -> 17:59.600] have got um i wish f1 cars had horns
[17:59.600 -> 18:02.560] there's just a certain few bits of them going around corners when like hamilton
[18:02.560 -> 18:05.320] was behind beto and that And I was just imagining like,
[18:05.320 -> 18:07.000] ha ha, like right behind him.
[18:07.000 -> 18:09.280] Well Verstappen was stuck behind Vettel for ages,
[18:09.280 -> 18:10.120] wasn't he?
[18:10.120 -> 18:10.940] Or was it Hamilton?
[18:10.940 -> 18:11.960] Yeah, it was Hamilton.
[18:11.960 -> 18:13.760] Then he was saying he's too slow, he's holding me up.
[18:13.760 -> 18:14.760] There was some good battles today,
[18:14.760 -> 18:16.360] cause you don't usually see a lot of these drivers
[18:16.360 -> 18:17.200] battle each other.
[18:17.200 -> 18:18.320] That's what I was saying to you.
[18:18.320 -> 18:20.760] It's nice to see like different drivers
[18:20.760 -> 18:21.960] battle different people.
[18:21.960 -> 18:24.280] Cause when there's the same people always at the front,
[18:24.280 -> 18:26.000] you don't always get to see them come through the field.
[18:26.000 -> 18:27.560] There's a lot of touching, there's a lot of friction,
[18:27.560 -> 18:29.600] there's a lot of wheels touching and crazy shit.
[18:29.600 -> 18:31.120] A lot of punctured tyres, we had what,
[18:31.120 -> 18:33.680] like three or four punctured tyres today,
[18:33.680 -> 18:35.160] and everyone did well to make it back
[18:35.160 -> 18:37.560] into the pits on a punctured tyre.
[18:37.560 -> 18:39.600] Like, that can't be easy to drive in a wet.
[18:39.600 -> 18:40.440] So who had a puncture?
[18:40.440 -> 18:42.620] It was Latifi, K-Mag had one as well.
[18:43.960 -> 18:44.880] Russell did as well.
[18:44.880 -> 18:45.680] Russell had one as well. Russell punct as well. Russell had one as well.
[18:45.680 -> 18:47.640] Russell punched in his tire.
[18:47.640 -> 18:48.480] He did well.
[18:48.480 -> 18:49.840] Russell had a bit of a weird race, didn't he?
[18:49.840 -> 18:51.800] Cause he risked the mediums.
[18:51.800 -> 18:53.200] And a bit of me did think, you know,
[18:53.200 -> 18:54.640] this could be a good idea.
[18:54.640 -> 18:55.840] I asked you this earlier.
[18:55.840 -> 18:56.800] You didn't have an answer for me.
[18:56.800 -> 18:57.720] So maybe you can pull it up
[18:57.720 -> 18:58.880] while we're talking about something else.
[18:58.880 -> 19:01.520] But why did Russell start at the back of the grid today?
[19:01.520 -> 19:03.040] He had a grid penalty.
[19:03.040 -> 19:03.960] Well, yeah, obviously.
[19:03.960 -> 19:05.520] But like that doesn't explain why he got the grid,
[19:05.520 -> 19:07.360] but has he got a new engine or?
[19:07.360 -> 19:09.140] He just started from the pits.
[19:10.040 -> 19:10.880] Well, he just chose to.
[19:10.880 -> 19:12.680] Bro, don't put me under pressure, I don't know.
[19:12.680 -> 19:13.920] I am so good, I'm gonna start from the pits.
[19:13.920 -> 19:15.960] I don't know, he didn't quite,
[19:15.960 -> 19:18.320] he probably, I think he may have took a penalty
[19:18.320 -> 19:20.960] because he didn't qualify very well.
[19:20.960 -> 19:23.040] Anyway, I think he went out in Q2,
[19:23.040 -> 19:27.000] I think he was like 13th, he't get top 10 so chance are he may
[19:27.000 -> 19:28.940] have took a penalty because he was low
[19:28.940 -> 19:30.400] anyway so they thought you know this is
[19:30.400 -> 19:31.700] probably a good time just go back to the
[19:31.700 -> 19:33.560] grid that's all I can assure you.
[19:33.560 -> 19:35.120] I can't think what would be taking a penalty for
[19:35.120 -> 19:37.160] is he getting a new engine? Must be an engine.
[19:37.160 -> 19:38.880] Or maybe he just started in 13th we
[19:38.880 -> 19:40.160] didn't realize and then he just dropped
[19:40.160 -> 19:42.840] back. I don't actually know. Another thing
[19:42.840 -> 19:44.640] for all the new fans listening is me and
[19:44.640 -> 19:48.800] Fab have been noticing all the tear-offs now if you don't know what a tear-off is,
[19:48.800 -> 19:52.040] when Brad and Michael came on, the performance coaches, they spoke about it. It's the bit
[19:52.040 -> 19:55.720] that they rip off the visor. They have like how many fitted? Like 15 fitted a race? Like
[19:55.720 -> 20:00.600] 8 or 9. So when their visor gets dirty, the driver just quickly rips it off and they have
[20:00.600 -> 20:04.400] a clean visor and they get like 8 or 9 of them in a race. But I wonder if anyone else
[20:04.400 -> 20:05.480] actually notices them.
[20:05.480 -> 20:06.480] Oi, look at this advert.
[20:06.480 -> 20:07.480] You see them like throw them.
[20:07.480 -> 20:10.920] Look at this advert, that looks like Carlos Sainz on a toothpaste advert, wait till he
[20:10.920 -> 20:11.920] comes up.
[20:11.920 -> 20:12.920] The people, the people can't see it.
[20:12.920 -> 20:13.920] Carlos Sainz on a toothpaste.
[20:13.920 -> 20:18.400] Yeah, you have to look for the rip-offs because they go flying.
[20:18.400 -> 20:19.400] Tear-offs, yeah.
[20:19.400 -> 20:21.640] Who was it that radioed in and said he thinks it's in his brakes?
[20:21.640 -> 20:22.640] Leclerc.
[20:22.640 -> 20:23.640] It could have been...
[20:23.640 -> 20:24.640] Or Verstappen.
[20:24.640 -> 20:26.240] Someone, yeah, someone just, because it
[20:26.240 -> 20:29.000] happened, was it Spah? Verstappen
[20:29.000 -> 20:30.720] tore off his... Into Leclerc's?
[20:30.720 -> 20:32.400] Leclerc, and that was the first time that
[20:32.400 -> 20:33.800] we saw it happen, and as far as I'm
[20:33.800 -> 20:34.960] concerned the first time that we'd heard
[20:34.960 -> 20:37.040] it even spoken about, a tear off going
[20:37.040 -> 20:38.760] into someone's brake duct and actually
[20:38.760 -> 20:40.480] causing them to pit. Yeah. And I thought
[20:40.480 -> 20:41.360] it was going to happen again today
[20:41.360 -> 20:42.480] because one of them, I don't know who it
[20:42.480 -> 20:43.640] was, it could have been Leclerc, he
[20:43.640 -> 20:46.920] mentioned it. It's one of the things in the sport that you never actually,
[20:46.920 -> 20:49.760] I never ever would have noticed until you said once,
[20:49.760 -> 20:50.800] like, oh, that's what that is.
[20:50.800 -> 20:52.440] I just assumed it'd be like a little,
[20:52.440 -> 20:54.240] like a bit of duct tape falling off a car or something.
[20:54.240 -> 20:55.600] But when you actually see them,
[20:55.600 -> 20:57.000] you do see them just fly across the track.
[20:57.000 -> 20:58.760] I thought it was like a sandwich wrapper
[20:58.760 -> 21:00.520] from the fans or something.
[21:00.520 -> 21:02.120] Honestly, that's what I thought it was.
[21:02.120 -> 21:03.680] No, I can see why they have them.
[21:03.680 -> 21:05.200] Imagine back in the day, they didn't. That's a crazy thought. Back in the day, can see why they have them. Imagine back in the day they didn't.
[21:05.200 -> 21:06.880] That's a crazy thought.
[21:06.880 -> 21:08.680] Back in the day, they wouldn't have had that.
[21:08.680 -> 21:10.640] And you know what it's like when you go go-karting
[21:10.640 -> 21:11.840] or anything, it can mist up,
[21:11.840 -> 21:14.120] or anytime you wear a visor, it can mist up.
[21:14.120 -> 21:16.960] I could not imagine driving those old cars
[21:16.960 -> 21:19.520] because as we've heard people talk about,
[21:19.520 -> 21:21.160] and we even witnessed it in Silverstone
[21:21.160 -> 21:24.120] when we sat in that car in the shop,
[21:24.120 -> 21:28.120] in the Silverstone stop, whatever you call it, you're so high up and out of the car, like
[21:28.120 -> 21:32.880] now the guys are so tucked down in the car that if any debris or anything flies
[21:32.880 -> 21:36.960] towards them they're fairly protected and they've got the halo now, but can you
[21:36.960 -> 21:41.520] imagine being in a car and having a crash in Formula One in like the 60s and
[21:41.520 -> 21:45.780] you're sat upright, you've all your like upper body exposed,
[21:45.780 -> 21:48.140] your shoulders out, that's scary.
[21:48.140 -> 21:50.700] So, and it's interesting you say that,
[21:50.700 -> 21:52.540] because earlier, Lando Norris was doing an interview
[21:52.540 -> 21:54.820] before the Singapore race, and he like,
[21:54.820 -> 21:57.280] is a confident guy, and he had a great race today,
[21:57.280 -> 21:58.780] but before it, he was like joking around,
[21:58.780 -> 22:00.060] and he was like, oh yeah, you know,
[22:00.060 -> 22:02.220] it's a bit scary like when it's this wet.
[22:02.220 -> 22:03.660] And I was just thinking like,
[22:04.820 -> 22:11.180] some drivers on that grid do have such an advantage in like certain conditions and tracks because like especially the experienced ones
[22:11.340 -> 22:14.860] Because I imagine your veil like that's probably why vote was so well vote
[22:14.860 -> 22:19.940] Oh, actually is I think Sergio Perez is actually the first person to ever win in Singapore. There isn't a world champion
[22:19.940 -> 22:25.360] That's another fact for you great because that won it last time in 2019 and it's always win world champion.
[22:25.360 -> 22:27.600] It's always great to see Perez win a race.
[22:27.600 -> 22:28.880] Yeah, oh, it's always great.
[22:28.880 -> 22:30.080] He's got a big party tonight.
[22:30.080 -> 22:32.400] We'll see him coming off the boat again in Monaco in one shoe.
[22:33.840 -> 22:36.320] He's going to find some Monaco just to celebrate.
[22:37.440 -> 22:39.040] Absolutely love him, amazing race.
[22:39.040 -> 22:40.320] But yeah, where I was going was,
[22:40.880 -> 22:45.680] is I wonder whether it really helps the older drivers who have driven
[22:45.680 -> 22:51.560] without a halo be able to be completely less scared like around these tracks in
[22:51.560 -> 22:55.800] the wet because they've done it more dangerous whereas if you're a new driver
[22:55.800 -> 22:59.820] and you've only driven with a halo you're still scared of it but the people
[22:59.820 -> 23:04.360] before are probably like oh I'm safe I've got a halo. I think any time that
[23:04.360 -> 23:05.400] you're racing when you've got minimal halo. I think any time that you're racing
[23:05.400 -> 23:08.640] when you've got minimal runoff areas,
[23:08.640 -> 23:09.880] it's going to be scary.
[23:09.880 -> 23:12.400] Cause you just haven't got the room for mistakes.
[23:12.400 -> 23:13.640] Like if you'll be impressed into,
[23:13.640 -> 23:15.920] into a turn by someone else and you've got a load of grass
[23:15.920 -> 23:17.520] that you can fly across,
[23:17.520 -> 23:18.600] it's not going to be as scary, right?
[23:18.600 -> 23:20.200] But if you've got a concrete wall next to you,
[23:20.200 -> 23:23.120] it's going to scare anyone at the speeds that they're doing.
[23:23.120 -> 23:23.940] Do you know what I mean?
[23:23.940 -> 23:24.780] Yeah, it's true.
[23:24.780 -> 23:27.820] Like imagine like, like when we podcast, we're not nervous.
[23:27.820 -> 23:28.660] Like we're just chill.
[23:28.660 -> 23:29.480] Like this is what we do.
[23:29.480 -> 23:32.860] But like if we had to do a podcast live on Sky Sports,
[23:32.860 -> 23:33.900] you'd probably be a bit more nervous.
[23:33.900 -> 23:34.900] Cause if you make a mistake,
[23:34.900 -> 23:37.460] you're gonna get in more trouble than if you were here.
[23:37.460 -> 23:38.620] Yeah, the pressure, I guess.
[23:38.620 -> 23:41.300] And also the fact that someone else can ruin it for you,
[23:41.300 -> 23:42.740] which is proven in today's race.
[23:42.740 -> 23:45.040] Like you've got to drive at maximum speed,
[23:45.040 -> 23:46.200] but you've also got to have the trust
[23:46.200 -> 23:49.000] that everyone else on the grid isn't gonna crash into you
[23:49.000 -> 23:51.040] or ruin it for you.
[23:51.040 -> 23:53.400] But no, today was a great race.
[23:53.400 -> 23:55.120] And ultimately for the championship,
[23:55.120 -> 23:56.360] it's made it really interesting.
[23:56.360 -> 23:58.840] Cause the, you know, it was always Leclerc
[23:58.840 -> 24:00.360] and Verstappen battle, wasn't it?
[24:00.360 -> 24:01.880] But Perez winning today,
[24:01.880 -> 24:03.840] now basically makes it a Red Bull one too.
[24:03.840 -> 24:08.320] Like it's a, technically Perez can still win the championship.
[24:08.320 -> 24:09.440] He could still win.
[24:09.440 -> 24:10.840] We're gonna have to see what happens in Japan.
[24:10.840 -> 24:12.840] But Verstappen can still win in Japan.
[24:12.840 -> 24:15.380] But imagine a Verstappen DNF,
[24:15.380 -> 24:18.920] a Perez win, two races in a row.
[24:18.920 -> 24:20.640] And imagine if it came down to the end of the season
[24:20.640 -> 24:23.320] where both Red Bull drivers were competing
[24:23.320 -> 24:24.880] against each other, that would be absolutely crazy.
[24:24.880 -> 24:25.080] Do you know how many points are between them? I'm gonna get that up right now. end of the season where both Red Bull drivers were competing against each other. That would be absolutely crazy.
[24:25.080 -> 24:26.840] Do you know how many points are between them?
[24:26.840 -> 24:29.200] I'm going to get that up right now.
[24:29.200 -> 24:34.480] You can pull that up. I'm just going to talk about the multiple safety cars that we had.
[24:34.480 -> 24:43.400] One of them, we had Verstappen who was not, Verstappen wasn't caught a napping on one
[24:43.400 -> 24:44.400] of the restarts.
[24:44.400 -> 24:45.760] I loved it when he said that. That was Crofty. Crofty. Fair play Crofty. Verstappen wasn't caught a-napping on one of the restarts. I loved it when he said that.
[24:45.760 -> 24:46.600] That was crofty.
[24:46.600 -> 24:47.420] Crofty.
[24:47.420 -> 24:48.260] Fair play, crofty.
[24:48.260 -> 24:49.760] Verstappen wasn't caught a-napping on the restart
[24:49.760 -> 24:50.680] of one of the safety cars
[24:50.680 -> 24:53.760] and he took Vettel straight away.
[24:53.760 -> 24:54.720] Breaking!
[24:54.720 -> 24:55.560] Oh.
[24:55.560 -> 24:57.560] Only two points between Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc.
[24:57.560 -> 24:59.440] Charles Leclerc is still in the lead.
[24:59.440 -> 25:03.520] Charles Leclerc's 237, Sergio Perez has 235.
[25:03.520 -> 25:04.760] Mate, that is seriously close.
[25:04.760 -> 25:05.580] What's the difference between
[25:05.580 -> 25:08.700] Verstappen and Likkle Erk? It's quite a lot
[25:08.700 -> 25:12.420] 63 plus that I think it's about I think
[25:12.420 -> 25:14.640] we're looking at 104 I think it's 104
[25:14.640 -> 25:17.380] points at the moment oh yeah it's mate
[25:17.380 -> 25:19.020] Verstappen can win in Japan pretty easily
[25:19.020 -> 25:21.060] Oh it's far gone yeah yeah we're actually
[25:21.060 -> 25:23.300] currently staring at the TV so what we
[25:23.300 -> 25:24.660] are going to do is we're going to leave
[25:24.660 -> 25:30.000] you with a we will be right back with the decision on what Sergio Perez is
[25:30.000 -> 25:33.560] going to get because we're currently seeing Leclerc being called into the stewards room
[25:33.560 -> 25:37.400] and I feel like it would be good for us to talk about the situation that's going to unfold
[25:37.400 -> 25:38.400] here.
[25:38.400 -> 25:41.200] Yep, it's Ted's notebook, Ted knows what he's talking about so we'll be right back at any
[25:41.200 -> 25:56.000] moment now. So we are back after that commercial break and we have come to the conclusion that...
[25:56.000 -> 25:57.600] Well we still don't have any idea.
[25:57.600 -> 26:02.840] That's notebook ended and we still don't have a final outcome but there was a news report
[26:02.840 -> 26:08.200] that I've seen of him and Checo says that he doesn't think there's going to be any further investigation
[26:08.200 -> 26:12.020] there was talks of basically two penalties which would have added up to
[26:12.020 -> 26:16.400] 10 seconds. Stupid. I didn't even see anything in the whole race. What are they
[26:16.400 -> 26:19.820] investigating? Well apparently he was throwing his hands up. Yeah telling a
[26:19.820 -> 26:23.140] safety car to speed up and then potentially actually going past a safety
[26:23.140 -> 26:28.720] car to infringements five seconds. I don't think he went past him though and also like he hasn't got out the car and told
[26:28.720 -> 26:33.680] Bert Mailander directly like you need to drive faster he's just getting annoyed. Yeah it's one
[26:33.680 -> 26:37.840] of those where Ferrari fans obviously want it Red Bull fans obviously don't but at this moment in
[26:37.840 -> 26:41.760] time it doesn't look like it's going to change it looks like Sergio Perez is going to win so
[26:41.760 -> 26:46.880] we're just gonna for the sake of the podcast say that Sergio Perez did win to win. So we're just going to, for the sake of the podcast, say that Sergio Perez did win.
[26:46.880 -> 26:48.640] And we'll just completely stick with that.
[26:48.640 -> 26:51.040] And I actually think it will be good to quickly just go
[26:51.040 -> 26:52.840] through the top nine.
[26:52.840 -> 26:54.480] I say top nine because the screenshot on my phone
[26:54.480 -> 26:56.000] doesn't go any further than that.
[26:56.000 -> 26:59.260] So Perez won, Leclerc came second, Sainz came third,
[26:59.260 -> 27:01.880] Norris came fourth, fantastic drive for Norris.
[27:01.880 -> 27:02.760] Excellent drive.
[27:02.760 -> 27:04.680] Daniel Ricciardo came fifth.
[27:04.680 -> 27:06.280] Brilliant stuff. So that's a McLaren
[27:06.280 -> 27:10.680] four and five. That's a lot of points for them considering both Alpines DNF'd.
[27:10.680 -> 27:14.760] That's really good. I think Ricciardo was like a good 20 seconds behind Lando.
[27:14.760 -> 27:17.320] Yeah, but he was out on softs wasn't he?
[27:17.320 -> 27:19.160] Hey, it's points at the end of the day.
[27:19.160 -> 27:23.520] Bottas was the first person on like lap 13 to take the gamble though. It might have been
[27:23.520 -> 27:28.520] a bit later than that but he switched to softs questionable well I mean he didn't
[27:28.520 -> 27:32.840] finish in the points so it didn't work but yeah it was a shame you could see
[27:32.840 -> 27:37.640] when I did think softs was was ballsy considering you know even mediums were
[27:37.640 -> 27:41.360] sliding all over the place where did he finish 11th yeah I believe so
[27:41.360 -> 27:46.440] so not quite in the points no That was the highest ever points finished for Stroll.
[27:46.440 -> 27:47.240] Was it?
[27:47.240 -> 27:47.740] Yep.
[27:47.740 -> 27:50.080] Congratulations! I thought he won a race.
[27:50.080 -> 27:50.580] This year.
[27:50.580 -> 27:51.400] Oh yeah, this year.
[27:51.400 -> 27:52.540] But he hasn't won a race, I don't think.
[27:52.540 -> 27:53.040] Stroll has.
[27:53.040 -> 27:53.540] Has he?
[27:53.540 -> 27:54.040] Yeah.
[27:54.040 -> 27:54.540] Nah.
[27:54.540 -> 27:55.540] Stroll has won a race.
[27:55.540 -> 27:58.680] Nah, you are having me on.
[27:58.680 -> 28:00.180] I am so certain.
[28:00.180 -> 28:01.380] I am so certain.
[28:01.380 -> 28:05.740] If Stroll's won a race, then fuc then fucking Nicholas the TV for world champion next year
[28:06.600 -> 28:11.220] Okay, I was wrong can confirm straw hasn't won a race got three podiums and one pole position
[28:11.220 -> 28:17.340] I meant he had a pole position. That's what you meant. Yeah, easily done easily done question time. I'm not done yet
[28:17.340 -> 28:22.640] I have a question. I'm sick. I have a question seven Vettel eighth Hamilton ninth
[28:22.640 -> 28:27.160] Okay, fine really fucking awesome, Right, how many gear changes per lap
[28:27.160 -> 28:29.580] at the Singapore Grand Prix?
[28:30.640 -> 28:32.840] Why would you randomly throw that on me?
[28:32.840 -> 28:34.480] Because they pulled it up on the screen
[28:34.480 -> 28:35.440] and you weren't listening.
[28:35.440 -> 28:36.440] Is it multiple choice?
[28:36.440 -> 28:38.780] It's multiple choice.
[28:38.780 -> 28:39.620] Okay.
[28:39.620 -> 28:40.520] Now you do have three lifelines.
[28:40.520 -> 28:41.360] Okay.
[28:41.360 -> 28:42.240] Ask the audience, no one here.
[28:42.240 -> 28:43.080] Yeah.
[28:43.080 -> 28:45.680] You have remove one random wrong
[28:45.680 -> 28:52.880] answer or you have find a friend okay so the answers are 48 56 74 or 91
[28:52.880 -> 28:58.920] Singapore Grand Prix I believe it's got 19 corners correct yeah I think it's got
[28:58.920 -> 29:04.640] 19 so what you're looking up that up shift down shift 5 19 50 I'm gonna go 91
[29:04.640 -> 29:05.480] I'm gonna go 91.
[29:05.480 -> 29:06.960] Gonna go the highest one.
[29:06.960 -> 29:07.800] Really?
[29:07.800 -> 29:08.800] Because there's a lot of corners.
[29:08.800 -> 29:11.120] So, well, let's just go back to a few of the other tracks.
[29:11.120 -> 29:15.520] So I believe it was, what track was it?
[29:15.520 -> 29:18.220] I think it was Austria where there was 36.
[29:18.220 -> 29:19.060] Austria.
[29:19.060 -> 29:20.360] Austria is a lot quicker.
[29:20.360 -> 29:21.520] Much smaller track.
[29:21.520 -> 29:23.120] Yeah.
[29:23.120 -> 29:25.200] And then we had another one where it was like 50 odd.
[29:25.200 -> 29:26.480] Mhm, Monaco I believe.
[29:26.480 -> 29:27.200] Was it Monaco?
[29:27.200 -> 29:27.840] I think so.
[29:27.840 -> 29:33.340] Monaco very similar to Singapore in terms of it being tight, lots of corners, lots of gear changes.
[29:33.340 -> 29:35.100] Yeah, I'm sticking with 91.
[29:35.100 -> 29:36.700] That's, you think 91?
[29:36.700 -> 29:37.780] Yeah, I reckon it's a lot.
[29:37.780 -> 29:38.500] Really?
[29:38.500 -> 29:40.540] Yeah, I reckon it was a lot as well because of the weather.
[29:40.540 -> 29:44.780] Now, there is absolutely no way in hell that you would have got that.
[29:44.780 -> 29:45.480] I don't think. I think that you would have got that. I don't
[29:45.480 -> 29:50.680] think. I think that you were listening. No way! I know what you were doing. You're doing
[29:50.680 -> 29:54.760] your classic game of, why don't we say to Jake, this one it was 30, this one it was
[29:54.760 -> 29:58.400] 50, then can Jake change his answer, then I'll change my answer and you'll go, it was
[29:58.400 -> 30:02.240] 91. That's what you were trying to do. You were trying to bug me off again. Well of course
[30:02.240 -> 30:05.680] I was. I'm trying to throw you off the scent. That's what I'm doing.
[30:05.680 -> 30:06.520] I knew it was 91.
[30:06.520 -> 30:09.120] I took into account the weather,
[30:09.120 -> 30:10.900] because there's obviously going to be more gear changes
[30:10.900 -> 30:11.740] in bad weather,
[30:11.740 -> 30:13.680] because you've got to go slow around corners.
[30:13.680 -> 30:15.640] You've got to come down, you've got to go up.
[30:15.640 -> 30:17.400] Yeah, much, much, I think.
[30:17.400 -> 30:18.560] Much, much, much.
[30:18.560 -> 30:19.400] Yeah, yeah, okay.
[30:19.400 -> 30:20.240] So you're going with,
[30:20.240 -> 30:22.280] are you sure you're thinking of a 91?
[30:22.280 -> 30:23.440] Yeah, I'm right, aren't I?
[30:23.440 -> 30:24.280] No, you're wrong.
[30:24.280 -> 30:25.100] Where is it? 74. Oh? Yeah, I'm right, aren't I? No, you're wrong. What is it?
[30:25.100 -> 30:25.940] 74.
[30:25.940 -> 30:26.780] Oh.
[30:26.780 -> 30:29.720] Wrong, you were right!
[30:29.720 -> 30:30.560] What?
[30:30.560 -> 30:31.380] It was 91.
[30:31.380 -> 30:33.120] Wow, it's such a game, I love it!
[30:33.120 -> 30:35.160] I'm glad I finally won something.
[30:35.160 -> 30:37.360] I actually, the people are gonna be really proud of me.
[30:37.360 -> 30:39.060] I am gonna confirm why George Russell
[30:39.060 -> 30:40.560] started from the pits.
[30:40.560 -> 30:41.400] Oh, yes, please.
[30:41.400 -> 30:42.220] George Russell started from the pits
[30:42.220 -> 30:44.120] because he took a new power unit for the race,
[30:44.120 -> 30:46.160] which is exactly what you said, Fabio. Which is an engine. Yeah, a brand new engine, which means you George Russell started from the pits because he took a new power unit for the race, which is exactly what you said, Fabio.
[30:46.160 -> 30:47.000] Which is an engine.
[30:47.000 -> 30:48.400] Yeah, a brand new engine,
[30:48.400 -> 30:49.760] which means you have to start from the pits
[30:49.760 -> 30:51.280] after Park Ferme if you do it.
[30:51.280 -> 30:52.120] That's good.
[30:52.120 -> 30:53.840] I'm glad we've cleared that one up.
[30:53.840 -> 30:54.680] Now we know.
[30:54.680 -> 30:55.960] Yes, it's good for us to be professional
[30:55.960 -> 30:56.880] on the Pit Stop Podcast
[30:56.880 -> 30:58.880] and give accurate, correct information.
[30:58.880 -> 31:01.760] Lap 21, Fernando Alonso out of the race.
[31:01.760 -> 31:02.840] Kind of broke my heart a little bit.
[31:02.840 -> 31:04.520] I think it breaks my heart every time he DNFs,
[31:04.520 -> 31:07.700] but he was doing such a good job at holding off Verstappen
[31:07.700 -> 31:13.920] One of the things that I heard the commentators talking about I think it was Brundle was the fact that they didn't have DRS because
[31:13.920 -> 31:14.640] They're in the rain
[31:14.640 -> 31:16.400] So it wasn't benefiting Verstappen
[31:16.400 -> 31:21.280] But he didn't need the DRS because they're so much the Red Bulls are so much quicker than the Alpines you could see it
[31:21.280 -> 31:25.640] So Fernando Alonso was he had figured out what parts
[31:25.640 -> 31:30.000] of the track Verstappen was quickest and where he could overtake him so he was
[31:30.000 -> 31:35.040] using his ERS yeah when you said that I'm gonna just I'm gonna just have to
[31:35.040 -> 31:39.720] be honest because I still don't get it I still don't know what ERS means like
[31:39.720 -> 31:43.720] when you said that a bit of me I feel like it's charging the battery it's the
[31:43.720 -> 31:45.440] overtake button I still don't get this at all it gives, a bit of me, I feel like it's charging the battery. It's the overtake button.
[31:47.440 -> 31:49.040] I still don't get this at all. It gives you a boost of power.
[31:49.040 -> 31:50.960] What, so, and that is the battery?
[31:50.960 -> 31:52.880] It's the battery, but it drains.
[31:52.880 -> 31:55.760] So basically, you can only use it for a certain amount of time,
[31:55.760 -> 31:58.080] and then you have to charge it back up to use it again.
[31:58.080 -> 32:01.200] People use it when they're overtaking someone else, if they haven't got DRS,
[32:01.200 -> 32:04.400] or if they are using DRS, but they even want even more speed.
[32:04.400 -> 32:07.560] Or you could use it coming out of a corner. But you obviously once
[32:07.560 -> 32:10.680] it's out it's out so you've got to recharge it. Well it does yeah it does
[32:10.680 -> 32:14.520] recharge but obviously you you burn through it quicker than you recharge it
[32:14.520 -> 32:17.840] back up. So how do you recharge it that's when you break right? The kinetic energy
[32:17.840 -> 32:21.280] from breaking. So you're telling me he was deliberately not using his
[32:21.280 -> 32:24.560] ERS until he was in a zone where Verstappen would try and overtake and then he
[32:24.560 -> 32:28.600] was using his ERS to keep ahead of Verstappen. That's what you got to do. Alpine's not quick enough
[32:28.700 -> 32:32.500] But then that doesn't make sense to me because if Verstappen's a quicker car
[32:32.500 -> 32:36.300] Why would Verstappen not just use his ERS in that part as well and it'd still be quicker
[32:36.680 -> 32:42.500] He probably was using his ERS, but the Alpines have got to just use whatever they can if he wasn't using it
[32:42.700 -> 32:45.400] Mmm, I'm glad they finally enabled the RS
[32:46.280 -> 32:51.860] Yes, cuz it was very wet and I couldn't even give you a lap for that because it was around 30 something
[32:51.920 -> 32:55.960] It was around 30 something. It was after the safety car. No, everyone came back out on slicks
[32:55.960 -> 33:01.200] Yeah, and they had 27 minutes to go so I didn't tell you what lap it was, but they had 27 minutes left
[33:01.280 -> 33:05.900] Yeah, it was I like the way it went to a timer and I'm glad we got all the race done,
[33:05.900 -> 33:08.160] but it's crazy because we're just watching it on TV now
[33:08.160 -> 33:09.600] and it's 1 a.m. in Singapore
[33:09.600 -> 33:10.880] and they're still all in the paddock,
[33:10.880 -> 33:12.720] like everyone's there, 1 a.m.
[33:12.720 -> 33:14.120] Yeah, they're going to be partying the night away.
[33:14.120 -> 33:15.120] Lissy's there, isn't she?
[33:15.120 -> 33:16.840] Yeah, she's partying the night away.
[33:16.840 -> 33:17.680] Living life.
[33:17.680 -> 33:19.480] Very jealous, she's been hosting F1 TV.
[33:19.480 -> 33:20.300] Yeah.
[33:20.300 -> 33:21.140] Pretty incredible.
[33:21.140 -> 33:21.980] That's actually really cool,
[33:21.980 -> 33:22.800] saw her on the TV a couple of times.
[33:22.800 -> 33:24.280] It's amazing, we could never be trusted
[33:24.280 -> 33:27.200] to do anything live like that.
[33:27.280 -> 33:31.760] We could not do that. That would be the end. It would be the end before we even got started.
[33:31.760 -> 33:36.160] Russell onto mediums lap 22 that's when the race started to spice up
[33:36.160 -> 33:40.240] yeah because everyone was saying well you had Carlos Sainz saying i think we
[33:40.240 -> 33:43.680] are nearly ready for slicks and then you had Verstappen saying we're
[33:43.680 -> 33:49.380] nowhere near it like it's way too late. then you had Verstappen saying we're nowhere near it. And then you had Adrian Newey radioing in to Perez saying that
[33:49.380 -> 33:54.060] Russell's on mediums and then he said do you think and then they radioed back to
[33:54.060 -> 33:57.740] Perez and said Russell's really struggling which Russell really did
[33:57.740 -> 34:02.260] struggle to be fair. Oh yeah. But in the end he made the decision to pit right at
[34:02.260 -> 34:05.820] the end and put his softs on and and that's an interesting point as well.
[34:05.820 -> 34:10.000] Because George Russell actually got the fastest lap of this race, even though he finished
[34:10.000 -> 34:11.000] last.
[34:11.000 -> 34:13.520] Now, this is really interesting.
[34:13.520 -> 34:17.080] Is very interesting, because neither of us knew the answer to this, and I've got it written
[34:17.080 -> 34:18.080] down here.
[34:18.080 -> 34:19.520] No, I knew the answer to it.
[34:19.520 -> 34:20.520] I told you it.
[34:20.520 -> 34:24.960] He got the fastest lap point deliberately to take it away from Perez, because they're
[34:24.960 -> 34:26.720] close in point competition
[34:26.720 -> 34:31.540] But if you don't finish in the top ten, you don't actually get accredited your fastest lap point
[34:31.540 -> 34:37.240] But it meant Perez couldn't get it. So basically all Russell did was take fastest lap away from Perez
[34:37.240 -> 34:39.880] Yes to make the points gap
[34:40.600 -> 34:45.600] Shorter, which was very interesting like I love it when stuff like that happens
[34:45.600 -> 34:49.080] in f1 I love it when there's all these little technical games and things you
[34:49.080 -> 34:51.680] there's a lot of little bits here and there I'm just going through my notes
[34:51.680 -> 34:56.960] here yeah I mean I didn't know that I didn't know that if you even did you
[34:56.960 -> 35:00.080] you didn't fucking know because I asked you and you had no idea. I talked to him and we were on the sofa.
[35:00.080 -> 35:03.440] You asked me and I really doesn't get it if he's in top 10.
[35:03.440 -> 35:06.400] and then you said I think and then you laughed about it,
[35:06.400 -> 35:09.680] which means it's another one of Jake Poye's wild guesses.
[35:09.680 -> 35:11.760] It's another Jake Poye's wild lie.
[35:11.760 -> 35:13.040] I would spot on with that one.
[35:13.040 -> 35:13.880] Yeah, no, you were spot on with that.
[35:13.880 -> 35:15.760] Get back to your bloody notebook and stop showing off.
[35:15.760 -> 35:19.000] I did not know that you had to be in the top 10
[35:19.000 -> 35:20.960] to get a fastest lap point.
[35:20.960 -> 35:22.720] Yeah, to be fair, I didn't either.
[35:22.720 -> 35:23.560] But we do now.
[35:23.560 -> 35:25.360] Do you know what, the only reason I thought about it
[35:25.360 -> 35:29.180] is because I remember like when we were whenever we go on the Sims and like one
[35:29.180 -> 35:32.600] of us wipes out and gets a crash like if you were like if you became last in our
[35:32.600 -> 35:36.080] at one of our f1 races you'd be trying to go for the fastest lap but you would
[35:36.080 -> 35:39.040] pit and try and go for the fastest lap and then we would always go to the menu
[35:39.040 -> 35:42.000] and you never had a point for it and we couldn't ever figure out you know what I'm
[35:42.000 -> 35:44.680] saying and I used to be so annoyed you're like why haven't I got a point
[35:44.680 -> 35:46.640] for it I was like I actually fucking don't know.
[35:46.640 -> 35:47.640] The game is glitched.
[35:47.640 -> 35:48.960] Yeah, so you have to be in the top 10
[35:48.960 -> 35:50.560] to get a fastest lap.
[35:50.560 -> 35:51.920] That makes sense.
[35:51.920 -> 35:53.440] Everything's adding up.
[35:53.440 -> 35:56.540] So many drivers went into the barrier today.
[35:57.520 -> 35:59.400] It's moments like this when you realize
[35:59.400 -> 36:01.960] how far the health and safety has come.
[36:01.960 -> 36:04.120] Like, I know there's concrete barriers as well,
[36:04.120 -> 36:05.560] but I think they're normally on the straights.
[36:05.560 -> 36:08.020] When you have these corners, what do they call them?
[36:08.020 -> 36:11.480] Like tech, tech, tech safe barriers or something like that.
[36:11.480 -> 36:13.000] What, the barriers where they like go into them?
[36:13.000 -> 36:14.040] And they're soft.
[36:14.040 -> 36:16.320] What I don't get, yeah, they're like soft, right?
[36:16.320 -> 36:18.360] But they're still good enough to stop a car.
[36:18.360 -> 36:19.920] But then sometimes they crash into them
[36:19.920 -> 36:21.560] and they come out of the front wings fine.
[36:21.560 -> 36:23.560] Sometimes they come out and it's like fucked,
[36:23.560 -> 36:25.280] but sometimes they do genuinely crash
[36:25.280 -> 36:27.280] reverse and you can't even tell that
[36:27.280 -> 36:29.680] they crashed well what cracked me up was
[36:29.680 -> 36:30.920] Albin crashed again
[36:30.920 -> 36:34.040] lol lap 26 no no none of that with Albin
[36:34.040 -> 36:36.640] pretty funny no Albin did well to be
[36:36.640 -> 36:38.520] there today he had an operation yeah he
[36:38.520 -> 36:40.360] did be crashed into a wall twice
[36:40.360 -> 36:41.960] he crashed into a wall twice this weekend
[36:41.960 -> 36:43.920] yeah front wing was lodged in the wall
[36:43.920 -> 36:47.000] and that was his little... you can blame that on the appendix. I had my appendix out, it ain't easy.
[36:47.000 -> 36:49.000] Yeah, fair enough, appendix it is.
[36:49.000 -> 36:53.000] There was this little chubby guy trying to pull it out of the wall.
[36:53.000 -> 36:55.000] He grabbed it up because he was yanking on it so hard.
[36:55.000 -> 36:58.000] He was trying to pull the Excalibur from the stone.
[36:59.000 -> 37:00.000] And he finally got it out.
[37:00.000 -> 37:02.000] How heavy do you reckon that front wing is?
[37:02.000 -> 37:03.000] Not very.
[37:03.000 -> 37:04.000] The whole front wing?
[37:04.000 -> 37:05.000] Let's compare it to something. How heavy do you reckon that front wing is? Not very. What, like the whole front wing? I don't think it's very...
[37:05.000 -> 37:06.000] Let's compare it to something.
[37:06.000 -> 37:11.000] Like, in this room, looking around now, what do you reckon would be the closest thing to a front wing?
[37:11.000 -> 37:13.000] Do you reckon like that guitar amp?
[37:13.000 -> 37:14.000] No, no.
[37:14.000 -> 37:15.000] Do you reckon it'd be like a...
[37:15.000 -> 37:18.000] No, I've more like the guitar, the acoustic guitar or the light.
[37:18.000 -> 37:20.000] No way. It'll weigh more than a guitar.
[37:20.000 -> 37:21.000] The light?
[37:21.000 -> 37:25.720] No, way more than that. I'd say either the orange box or the Hoover.
[37:25.720 -> 37:28.360] I still think it's got to be quite heavy because two people carry it.
[37:28.360 -> 37:29.360] That amp is heavy.
[37:29.360 -> 37:30.360] Alright, let's go Hoover.
[37:30.360 -> 37:33.360] I'd say, yeah, yeah, Hoover is a good choice.
[37:33.360 -> 37:36.320] Because two people carry it and if it was like complete carbon fibre you'd just carry
[37:36.320 -> 37:37.320] it with one hand and go beep.
[37:37.320 -> 37:39.640] Yeah, but however, do you see how they carry it?
[37:39.640 -> 37:42.600] Yeah, well they have to so they can get it perfectly on the screws.
[37:42.600 -> 37:46.880] But I, you would think they would hold it on the big chunky bit which like sticks to the car
[37:46.880 -> 37:48.720] but they're holding it from the fragile wing.
[37:48.720 -> 37:52.160] Yeah because I imagine because the actual front wing is so fragile
[37:52.160 -> 37:55.520] that if you held it by the front bit it would just snap a little bit.
[37:55.520 -> 37:58.960] Well yeah you can't hold it by the front bit because they're so fragile.
[37:58.960 -> 37:59.920] That's where they get damaged.
[37:59.920 -> 38:01.360] No they do hold it by the front bit.
[38:01.360 -> 38:02.000] Oh do they?
[38:02.000 -> 38:02.320] Yeah.
[38:02.320 -> 38:03.600] I thought they hold the side bits.
[38:04.400 -> 38:04.960] On the front.
[38:06.000 -> 38:07.760] We're both on different pages. They hold the side by the front bit. Oh, do they? Yeah. I thought they hold the side bits. On the front. We're both on different pages.
[38:07.760 -> 38:09.280] They hold the side of the front bit.
[38:09.280 -> 38:11.360] I mean the bit which actually attaches to the car,
[38:11.360 -> 38:12.380] the long bit.
[38:12.380 -> 38:13.360] I thought they would hold that
[38:13.360 -> 38:15.120] because it just looks stronger.
[38:15.120 -> 38:17.320] Anyway, we're chatting shite here.
[38:17.320 -> 38:19.920] Are you not going to say how well Ferrari's done today?
[38:19.920 -> 38:21.360] I mean, they had a double podium
[38:21.360 -> 38:23.400] and they were by far the best car on track.
[38:23.400 -> 38:26.080] I saw an amazing photo or a video. It was Ferrari. Actually, no, maybe Red by far the best car on track. I saw an amazing photo or a video it was Ferrari.
[38:26.080 -> 38:28.720] Maybe that maybe Red Bull was the best car on track he won.
[38:28.720 -> 38:31.360] Was it I don't know if it was in it must have been in quality because I missed it
[38:31.360 -> 38:34.720] but Ferrari did an unsafe release with both of their own cars.
[38:36.880 -> 38:38.800] I did see that I saw the photo they put it out.
[38:40.400 -> 38:41.280] It is entertaining.
[38:41.280 -> 38:43.840] It was actually the guy from Red Bull that put it on his story that's how I saw it.
[38:43.840 -> 38:44.480] Yeah it was Sam.
[38:41.460 -> 38:42.800] It is entertaining. It was actually the guy from Red Bull
[38:42.800 -> 38:44.000] that put it on his story, that's how I saw it.
[38:44.000 -> 38:44.840] Yeah, it was Sam.
[38:44.840 -> 38:46.840] Ha ha ha ha ha!
[38:46.840 -> 38:47.680] He's a legend, Sam.
[38:47.680 -> 38:48.840] It's so funny as well,
[38:48.840 -> 38:51.720] we keep seeing everyone that we know on telly.
[38:51.720 -> 38:53.720] Like, just all the time now.
[38:53.720 -> 38:55.040] You guys are everywhere.
[38:55.040 -> 38:57.000] Was it in practice or qualifying?
[38:57.000 -> 39:00.480] Callum, nutsing his mate next to him.
[39:00.480 -> 39:03.320] And Ed from Red Bull is everywhere with the Checo flag.
[39:03.320 -> 39:05.520] I've just messaged Ed to tell him to come on the pod.
[39:05.520 -> 39:06.880] He's such a legend, man.
[39:06.880 -> 39:09.680] He was stood there with the Mexican flag,
[39:09.680 -> 39:11.280] screaming his lungs out.
[39:11.280 -> 39:12.120] He's such a legend.
[39:12.120 -> 39:13.800] There's so many great people we need to get on the pod.
[39:13.800 -> 39:15.360] If anyone's listening doesn't know who Ed is,
[39:15.360 -> 39:18.720] he's just one of the other pit crews from Red Bull.
[39:18.720 -> 39:20.400] And Callum said that he should come on.
[39:20.400 -> 39:21.720] And we've met him a couple of times now.
[39:21.720 -> 39:24.360] He's a funny guy, funny, funny guy.
[39:24.360 -> 39:26.080] And he's great at his job as well, but old Millie
[39:26.080 -> 39:30.480] It's one of them people that just is able to be you know serious and then hilarious at the same time
[39:30.480 -> 39:34.180] So he'd be great on the pod give us some insight and also have a laugh. He would be really good
[39:34.280 -> 39:37.120] It's a red boy if you listen, thank you very much
[39:38.160 -> 39:42.120] Apart from that mate. There's um, you know, we had a few other crashes we had
[39:43.200 -> 39:45.100] Lots of crazy shit going on but
[39:45.100 -> 39:48.740] that's kind of it really but yeah.
[39:48.740 -> 39:52.940] It was one of them races where like a load happened but then at the same time like not a lot happened
[39:52.940 -> 39:56.860] like it looked like a lot happened because there was DNFs and there was safety cars and everyone was pitting
[39:56.860 -> 40:01.980] and different tyre compounds but realistically like not loads happened
[40:01.980 -> 40:06.560] I don't feel like there was loads of mad overtakes. I don't feel like there was loads of mad battles.
[40:06.560 -> 40:09.120] Nah, I guess there was like a lot happened,
[40:09.120 -> 40:11.440] but it was all kind of minor stuff.
[40:11.440 -> 40:13.240] Like any of the crashes there was,
[40:13.240 -> 40:15.280] no one, there weren't bad crashes.
[40:15.280 -> 40:16.840] The weather definitely would have played a part.
[40:16.840 -> 40:18.840] Like DRS wasn't open for so long.
[40:19.920 -> 40:22.960] You can't even reach maximum speed in the wet.
[40:22.960 -> 40:24.520] I'm just glad we got a race.
[40:24.520 -> 40:26.380] There was obviously a chance we could not have got a race.
[40:26.380 -> 40:28.260] There was a point where we were questioning it, right?
[40:28.260 -> 40:30.500] I still don't know why they started an hour late.
[40:30.500 -> 40:32.920] Well, there's a thing where they get a three hour window
[40:32.920 -> 40:34.540] to complete the race,
[40:34.540 -> 40:37.860] but as soon as they start the preparation on the grid,
[40:37.860 -> 40:39.080] the three hour window starts,
[40:39.080 -> 40:42.100] but they hadn't started the preparation on the grid,
[40:42.100 -> 40:44.140] which meant they were allowed to push the start time
[40:44.140 -> 40:47.780] back an hour, so they still had three hours. So the only reason that they
[40:47.780 -> 40:51.280] finished on a timer wasn't because of what happened? It wasn't actually because
[40:51.280 -> 40:54.760] they ran out of race time, it was just because they ran out of time because of the safety
[40:54.760 -> 40:57.960] cars and the lap times were much longer than normal. What I think is so amazing
[40:57.960 -> 41:01.040] about the Singapore Grand Prix and one of the main reasons I want to go next
[41:01.040 -> 41:04.880] year is I love the fact that it's like slap bang in the center of the city and
[41:04.880 -> 41:07.740] they've got all these crazy fireworks going off so even if
[41:07.740 -> 41:10.820] you're like in a hotel room in the city and you're not watching the f1 like
[41:10.820 -> 41:14.740] you'll just like hear all these fireworks going on just looks cool I
[41:14.740 -> 41:17.400] like the way the cars are going over the motorway whilst it's going on like
[41:17.400 -> 41:20.400] imagine you're just driving along with family in the car just look left and like
[41:20.400 -> 41:25.320] Max Verstappen's flying under the bridge under you or something like that. Imagine if like someone just dashes a fag out their window
[41:25.320 -> 41:26.160] as they're going over the bridge
[41:26.160 -> 41:28.240] and it lands in the cockpit of Sergio Perez.
[41:28.240 -> 41:30.440] Oh my word, imagine that.
[41:30.440 -> 41:32.480] Craziest stuff's probably happened to be fair.
[41:32.480 -> 41:34.940] I reckon we should do an episode on crazy F1 stories.
[41:34.940 -> 41:35.780] All right.
[41:35.780 -> 41:36.600] That's not a bad shout.
[41:36.600 -> 41:37.440] That'd be cool.
[41:37.440 -> 41:39.080] But then maybe the people listening could help us out.
[41:39.080 -> 41:41.400] Like if there's any articles, YouTube videos,
[41:41.400 -> 41:43.200] crazy stories from history,
[41:43.200 -> 41:46.260] send them to our Instagram, at Pitstop,
[41:46.260 -> 41:47.900] and maybe we'll do like a bonus episode
[41:47.900 -> 41:50.140] where we just go for a load of crazy F1 stories
[41:50.140 -> 41:50.980] and things that happened.
[41:50.980 -> 41:52.380] I guess what we could do then is if you,
[41:52.380 -> 41:54.340] if we put something out on Instagram,
[41:54.340 -> 41:55.780] everyone sends in their stuff.
[41:55.780 -> 41:56.620] Yeah, just DM us.
[41:56.620 -> 41:59.260] You read it, I won't read any of them,
[41:59.260 -> 42:01.660] and then you can kind of tell me the start of the story
[42:01.660 -> 42:03.700] and I'll try and figure out like where,
[42:03.700 -> 42:06.820] what could have happened, where it could have gone Have gone all right cuz there's been some crazy stuff
[42:06.820 -> 42:12.820] I couldn't believe it when you told me years ago Ferrari tried them weird wings like origami wings like just weird
[42:12.820 -> 42:14.420] I know like that's probably a lot of crazy
[42:14.420 -> 42:18.320] Like a lot of weirder stuff and this is probably really stupid of me
[42:18.320 -> 42:19.880] And I'm probably gonna sound like an idiot right now
[42:19.880 -> 42:24.860] But I didn't know that it was a Williams car that Ayrton Senna was in when he crashed and passed away
[42:24.860 -> 42:25.200] I didn't know it it was a Williams car that Ayrton Senna was in when he crashed and passed away.
[42:25.200 -> 42:26.920] I didn't know it was a Williams.
[42:26.920 -> 42:27.760] Did you not?
[42:27.760 -> 42:29.400] Is that fucking really stupid?
[42:29.400 -> 42:33.560] I couldn't have told you if you'd said what one it was.
[42:33.560 -> 42:34.760] I think it's because it wasn't blue.
[42:34.760 -> 42:36.640] Well, no, I just assumed Senna was Ferrari.
[42:36.640 -> 42:38.580] Like, I just thought Ferrari, Ferrari, Ferrari.
[42:38.580 -> 42:40.800] I didn't really even, he might've won loads of Williams.
[42:40.800 -> 42:42.200] I don't know, okay?
[42:42.200 -> 42:43.040] Yeah.
[42:43.040 -> 42:44.520] I still believe he was one of the greatest,
[42:44.520 -> 42:48.160] if not the greatest drivers of all time after that movie was insane and
[42:48.160 -> 42:51.960] I loved everything about Senna his persona the battle he was having with
[42:51.960 -> 42:56.760] Prost I believe. Speaking of movies really excited to see what Lewis
[42:56.760 -> 43:01.240] Hamilton is doing I think there's a documentary in the works. It's a movie
[43:01.240 -> 43:05.000] isn't it isn't there an actual proper F1 movie coming out?
[43:05.000 -> 43:12.000] Which Lewis is involved in, maybe as a director role or something like that, but there's actually a documentary in the works about Lewis Hamilton.
[43:12.000 -> 43:13.000] Oh really?
[43:13.000 -> 43:15.000] Gnomes was talking about it on the TV.
[43:15.000 -> 43:16.000] Oh, that would be great.
[43:16.000 -> 43:21.000] Because he just went to Africa and I think he had a crew following him around, filming everything and stuff.
[43:21.000 -> 43:25.260] That would be great because I want to know more about Lewis. Like this is why I'd really like him on the pod.
[43:25.260 -> 43:27.080] Cause I just feel like,
[43:27.080 -> 43:28.440] I feel like in different interviews,
[43:28.440 -> 43:29.680] you get different bits out of him.
[43:29.680 -> 43:30.800] You get different sides of him.
[43:30.800 -> 43:32.640] Like obviously he's an amazing racing driver.
[43:32.640 -> 43:34.360] He's got a lot of pressure.
[43:34.360 -> 43:36.320] He's got to be so careful with everything,
[43:36.320 -> 43:38.340] but I'd love to know more about him as a person,
[43:38.340 -> 43:42.080] like dive deep into everything and just have a chat with him
[43:42.080 -> 43:49.280] where it felt like it wasn't media, I guess. It was really interesting to hear them talk about him because I think his words were,
[43:49.280 -> 43:55.840] I am the happiest that I've ever been. Now, for a guy who hasn't won a race, isn't having the year
[43:55.840 -> 44:00.640] that he should be having, for him to turn around and say, I am the happiest that I've ever been,
[44:00.640 -> 44:07.440] speaks volumes. But then, how strange is that?
[44:07.440 -> 44:08.280] Does that mean-
[44:08.280 -> 44:10.480] Does he doesn't know whether he really means that?
[44:10.480 -> 44:13.760] Like, to be honest, like, is he looking at that
[44:13.760 -> 44:16.240] from the aspect of like, I've had a bad car
[44:16.240 -> 44:18.080] at the start of the season, it's getting better,
[44:18.080 -> 44:19.360] the team's working well.
[44:19.360 -> 44:20.200] No, he doesn't mean that.
[44:20.200 -> 44:21.920] Or is he just meaning in his life?
[44:21.920 -> 44:24.680] In his life, and that now says to me,
[44:24.680 -> 44:29.600] maybe after all these years of F1 being everything to him,
[44:29.600 -> 44:31.280] maybe he's getting to the age now where he's like,
[44:31.280 -> 44:33.240] look, I've had this legacy.
[44:33.240 -> 44:38.240] I've smashed barriers, records, I've done so much.
[44:38.720 -> 44:41.840] Maybe it's not about being another world champion again.
[44:41.840 -> 44:43.160] And I'm not saying it's gone.
[44:43.160 -> 44:45.840] Like obviously he's still gonna race next year and still go for another world championship. But maybe I'm not saying it's gone. Like obviously he's still going to race next year
[44:45.840 -> 44:47.960] and still go for another world championship.
[44:47.960 -> 44:50.760] But maybe he's at that turning point now where he's like,
[44:50.760 -> 44:52.680] do I need to keep doing this to be happy?
[44:52.680 -> 44:55.200] Like there's so many other things I can do in my life.
[44:55.200 -> 44:57.120] It's difficult though, like where,
[44:57.120 -> 44:59.440] put yourself in his shoes.
[44:59.440 -> 45:01.840] You're 7'7 with Schumacher.
[45:01.840 -> 45:04.640] Like this is the record,
[45:04.640 -> 45:06.880] which I watched an interview of Schumacher
[45:06.880 -> 45:10.880] when he said it and he says, yeah, seven time world champion, I believe one day someone
[45:10.880 -> 45:14.480] may be it, you know, it's not going to be a problem for me if someone beats it. Schumacher
[45:14.480 -> 45:19.960] says that. Do you reckon Hamilton really wants to be it? Do you think deep down he's like,
[45:19.960 -> 45:24.200] I want to set it and I want it to be eight. So it's me. Or do you think he's quite happy
[45:24.200 -> 45:25.600] with knowing that like,
[45:25.600 -> 45:27.280] Schumacher got seven, I got seven.
[45:27.280 -> 45:31.920] I think it would be very noble of him to be, to accept,
[45:31.920 -> 45:33.400] this is Michael Schumacher.
[45:34.520 -> 45:37.160] If it was me, I would be happy.
[45:37.160 -> 45:40.200] I would step down graciously and be like,
[45:40.200 -> 45:43.560] I'm level with the great Michael Schumacher.
[45:43.560 -> 45:44.960] I don't need to beat him.
[45:44.960 -> 45:47.920] Yeah, maybe if like he was forcing an extra year
[45:47.920 -> 45:49.920] or extra couple of years to try and win it,
[45:49.920 -> 45:50.800] but he's not yet.
[45:50.800 -> 45:52.080] Like he's not old enough.
[45:52.080 -> 45:53.120] He can still go.
[45:53.120 -> 45:54.880] He'll definitely race next year
[45:54.880 -> 45:57.280] and there's no way Lewis Hamill is going to be on that grid
[45:57.280 -> 45:58.800] and not be trying to win.
[45:58.800 -> 46:02.000] So he will probably be going for the eighth
[46:02.000 -> 46:04.800] and I do think Mercedes next season will be really strong.
[46:05.360 -> 46:09.660] So I'm already excited for next season and we're not even at the end of this one yet
[46:09.660 -> 46:12.540] It's mad what you said that Lewis said he's happiest. Where did he say that?
[46:12.540 -> 46:15.160] They were talking about it, Gnomes was talking about it on TV.
[46:15.160 -> 46:18.900] Yeah, maybe he's just completely been able to like separate from
[46:20.040 -> 46:25.880] Maybe not having the media pressure of winning every week for like the first half of the year
[46:26.120 -> 46:31.080] Let him settle his mind a lot more because he's been winning for so long in a on a written
[46:31.280 -> 46:36.200] In a row and the pressures and the media and well anytime that you're winning you have to defend it
[46:36.200 -> 46:37.760] Well, yeah, you're expected to win again
[46:37.760 -> 46:43.060] So there's pressure right there, but at the same time if you're not winning and you have been then you're going for it
[46:43.160 -> 46:45.180] Yeah, you're on the charge.
[46:45.180 -> 46:47.120] Well, yeah, a really good way to think about it is look,
[46:47.120 -> 46:48.940] Max Verstappen finished seventh today
[46:48.940 -> 46:50.560] and a lot of the time he's a backer grid,
[46:50.560 -> 46:51.480] but for a lot of the race,
[46:51.480 -> 46:53.040] you're just watching Max Verstappen.
[46:53.040 -> 46:55.640] Because he is the going to be champion and you know,
[46:55.640 -> 46:57.040] everyone's talking about him.
[46:57.040 -> 46:59.120] You get all the camera time, all the pressure on you.
[46:59.120 -> 47:00.300] Everyone's talking about you.
[47:00.300 -> 47:03.400] There was times, there was the whole grid in front of
[47:03.400 -> 47:05.240] Verstappen and we're still watching the sappen race
[47:05.240 -> 47:10.120] I didn't watch any of Ricardo. I genuinely don't even think Ricardo got air time. No
[47:10.120 -> 47:14.460] I don't even remember what when we're watching or barely any of Norris and they came fourth and fifth
[47:14.460 -> 47:18.060] No, it's got a little bit but it just shows you doesn't it Ricardo gotten like yeah
[47:18.060 -> 47:22.380] Like that's what I mean, like even at the end of the race when it was Paris's last lap
[47:22.380 -> 47:25.260] They didn't swap until like a couple of corners before Perez was coming over
[47:25.260 -> 47:28.940] It was still Verstappen and Vettel battle which was good and Verstappen did get round him
[47:29.040 -> 47:33.480] but just when you think about it the pressure of being the number one is
[47:34.240 -> 47:38.580] So much and I wonder whether Lewis has come out of that and it's helped him now
[47:38.580 -> 47:41.040] I don't know because if it was anyone else maybe yeah
[47:41.040 -> 47:44.240] But because it is Lewis Hamilton and he's always gonna have eyes on him
[47:44.240 -> 47:46.600] I felt I would have thought it would have been the opposite.
[47:46.600 -> 47:48.680] I'd have thought this year, considering who he is
[47:48.680 -> 47:49.680] and he hasn't done very well,
[47:49.680 -> 47:51.160] maybe there'd be more pressure on him,
[47:51.160 -> 47:52.600] but maybe that's what he needed.
[47:52.600 -> 47:55.840] Maybe in the August break, when they had three weeks off,
[47:55.840 -> 47:59.880] he needed that time to go away, reset, get rid of this,
[47:59.880 -> 48:01.620] like forget about F1, get rid of the stress,
[48:01.620 -> 48:03.480] go hang out with some fucking gorillas,
[48:03.480 -> 48:04.920] like go do some cool shit.
[48:04.920 -> 48:07.680] But I thought he did that because he wanted the break.
[48:08.840 -> 48:11.000] But then maybe that's why he's not the happiest I've been.
[48:11.000 -> 48:14.060] Like, I don't know, but I'd love to get him on.
[48:14.060 -> 48:15.980] This is why I know it sounds ridiculous.
[48:15.980 -> 48:18.280] I know it's like, I know we say it ridiculously,
[48:18.280 -> 48:19.560] but like we'll do it one day.
[48:19.560 -> 48:20.720] That's not ridiculous at all.
[48:20.720 -> 48:21.760] Of course we'll get him.
[48:21.760 -> 48:23.880] We'll have Lewis Hammond one day, I hope.
[48:23.880 -> 48:25.600] And I just want to ask him that. Like just that's gonna win and I'm not gonna say it's gonna win. I'm not gonna say it's gonna win. I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:25.600 -> 48:26.420] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:26.420 -> 48:27.260] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:27.260 -> 48:28.100] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:28.100 -> 48:28.920] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:28.920 -> 48:29.760] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:29.760 -> 48:30.600] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:30.600 -> 48:31.420] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:31.420 -> 48:32.260] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:32.260 -> 48:33.100] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:33.100 -> 48:33.920] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:33.920 -> 48:34.760] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:34.760 -> 48:35.600] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:35.600 -> 48:36.420] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:36.420 -> 48:37.260] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:37.260 -> 48:38.100] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:38.100 -> 48:38.920] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:38.920 -> 48:39.760] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:39.760 -> 48:40.600] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:40.600 -> 48:41.420] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:41.420 -> 48:42.260] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:42.260 -> 48:43.100] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:43.100 -> 48:43.920] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:43.920 -> 48:44.760] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win.
[48:44.760 -> 48:45.960] I'm not gonna say it's gonna win. I'm not gonna say it's gonna win. I'm not gonna say it's gonna win. I'm not gonna say it's gonna win. I'm not gonna say it's gonna win. I'm not gonna say it's gonna win. be happy in a car that doesn't win when you're a compulsive winner. And I guess that's something I'd like to know.
[48:45.960 -> 48:47.280] Like.
[48:47.280 -> 48:49.000] I think it would, I think it would hurt anyone.
[48:49.000 -> 48:51.880] I mean, I was thinking the same about Valtteri.
[48:51.880 -> 48:54.080] Being at Mercedes, you know, coming,
[48:54.080 -> 48:57.140] winning a lot of races, coming podium most of the time
[48:57.140 -> 48:59.440] to being in a team now, which aren't,
[48:59.440 -> 49:00.600] he's not doing as great.
[49:00.600 -> 49:01.640] I mean, I even asked him.
[49:01.640 -> 49:02.480] Yeah.
[49:02.480 -> 49:04.800] Yeah. You know, I've always said that about Valtteri.
[49:04.800 -> 49:07.720] I always said the one question I wanted to ask him was like,
[49:07.720 -> 49:10.240] how do you feel about like not winning a world championship?
[49:10.240 -> 49:12.160] But like, we listened to him on Beyond the Grid
[49:12.160 -> 49:13.400] talking about it before, and I was like,
[49:13.400 -> 49:15.440] I don't want to ask the same question.
[49:15.440 -> 49:17.640] But when you're sat across this guy
[49:17.640 -> 49:20.160] and you're watching him like, in our first season of F1,
[49:20.160 -> 49:21.600] when we watched it at the end,
[49:21.600 -> 49:25.740] it was Bottas, Hamilton and Verstappen, the three.
[49:25.740 -> 49:28.160] Like that Bottas is good enough
[49:28.160 -> 49:30.120] to be right up there in the right car.
[49:30.120 -> 49:32.560] And it's like, it's a sad one,
[49:32.560 -> 49:35.440] but he seems to be very content and happy as well.
[49:35.440 -> 49:36.920] But then I always,
[49:36.920 -> 49:38.880] the reason I want to use our pod for like a good
[49:38.880 -> 49:39.960] and let these people talk is
[49:39.960 -> 49:42.160] cause I just feel like in media interviews,
[49:42.160 -> 49:44.240] it's so easy for any personality to just be like,
[49:44.240 -> 49:46.480] oh yeah, I'm so happy, I'm so happy.
[49:46.480 -> 49:49.360] But I feel like there's always so much more behind it.
[49:49.360 -> 49:55.080] It's all about priorities, I think we've spoke so much about Alfa Romeo and how amazing their
[49:55.080 -> 49:56.080] team is.
[49:56.080 -> 50:02.480] And I think for Valtteri now to be at that sort of smaller team, maybe a bit less pressure,
[50:02.480 -> 50:04.800] everyone gets along, it's just a nice feeling.
[50:04.800 -> 50:06.720] I think he'll enjoy having Joe as a teammate
[50:06.720 -> 50:08.640] and Joe will definitely enjoy having Bottas,
[50:08.640 -> 50:11.400] like the glue between them and what they both bring.
[50:11.400 -> 50:15.020] And yeah, I think Alfa Romeo in a good place,
[50:15.020 -> 50:16.720] obviously they're gonna wanna improve the car.
[50:16.720 -> 50:20.080] Like they're not doing, they started off so well.
[50:20.080 -> 50:22.080] Cause when I made that prediction at the beginning,
[50:22.080 -> 50:23.720] Valtteri Bottas will win a race season.
[50:23.720 -> 50:27.040] There were races at the beginning, weren't there, where he'd make it into Q3,
[50:27.040 -> 50:32.480] and we'd be like, oh my god, you know, if it rained or something, Valtteri Bottas could actually win.
[50:32.480 -> 50:33.200] Yeah.
[50:33.200 -> 50:37.280] And then it just stopped, which has gotten, because we absolutely love Bottas.
[50:37.920 -> 50:41.360] But yeah, it's, I guess that's the end, really, isn't it?
[50:41.360 -> 50:44.720] The Singapore Grand Prix is over. Sergio Perez has won his fourth race.
[50:44.720 -> 50:46.480] It is over. We're about 50 minutes in
[50:46.480 -> 50:51.240] 50 minutes for an extra episode a nice solid pod, oh it is a Sunday Monday
[50:51.240 -> 50:56.360] nice nice solid podcast yeah we've got loads of big things coming when we tell
[50:56.360 -> 51:00.040] you about this big guest by the way not gonna give anything away but just cannot
[51:00.040 -> 51:04.280] believe he's gonna come to us and be on our sofa and when you see why it's gonna
[51:04.280 -> 51:08.220] be ridiculous it's not gonna be live for a couple of weeks yet but I do suggest

[51:34.000 -> 51:36.000] or go to one of those dodgy websites
[51:36.000 -> 51:38.000] you keep telling me there's 2 websites in a row
[51:38.000 -> 51:40.000] you told me we'd go to a dodgy website
[51:40.000 -> 51:42.000] buy me some IG followers as well
[51:42.000 -> 51:44.000] for god's sake
[51:44.000 -> 51:46.000] fam why do you need more Instagram followers?
[51:46.000 -> 51:48.000] Don't ever do that.
[51:48.000 -> 51:50.000] We're not doing this.
[51:50.000 -> 51:52.000] Okay, shall we end the podcast here and have a nice chilled Sunday?
[51:52.000 -> 51:54.000] Guys, we're going to end the podcast here, we're going to have a nice chilled Sunday,
[51:54.000 -> 51:58.000] and I am going to leave you guys with something a little bit different.
[51:58.000 -> 52:03.000] My band, Alexis Kings, has a brand new song coming out October 22nd,
[52:03.000 -> 52:08.160] which is also the same day that we're playing a show in London at the Camden Assembly in Camden.
[52:08.160 -> 52:12.260] And there is enough people listening because we can see on locations where you live
[52:12.260 -> 52:17.040] that live in and around London so if you want to come and watch Fab's band play
[52:17.040 -> 52:21.840] their new music it's unbelievable I'll be there dancing, sinking gins.
[52:21.840 -> 52:25.040] You don't even have to like my band, just come hang out with Jake and the crowd.
[52:25.040 -> 52:27.120] I'll just be there, I will literally just be there
[52:27.120 -> 52:28.240] sinking shots and gins.
[52:28.240 -> 52:29.080] So if you wanna come down.
[52:29.080 -> 52:30.160] He throws some serious shapes.
[52:30.160 -> 52:31.680] Yeah, so how do they find out where it is?
[52:31.680 -> 52:32.520] They go on?
[52:32.520 -> 52:34.360] You wanna go on the Alexis King's Instagram page.
[52:34.360 -> 52:36.720] Tickets aren't live yet, but they'll be going up very soon.
[52:36.720 -> 52:40.520] So make sure you follow Alexis King's music on Instagram.
[52:40.520 -> 52:41.360] I think we've got to.
[52:41.360 -> 52:42.200] Quickest way to find it's probably
[52:42.200 -> 52:43.440] through your personal Instagram.
[52:43.440 -> 52:44.840] Go on Fab's personal Instagram.
[52:44.840 -> 52:48.700] And it's in my bio. And it's in his bio. And then and then you can see the post about you know the gig and everything like that
