[01:56.880 -> 01:58.440] We're actually not in Mexico
[01:58.440 -> 02:00.280] But it is Mexico
[02:00.280 -> 02:05.160] Mexico race weekend the track that I without doubt know better than any other
[02:05.160 -> 02:09.040] track on the calendar. It's your best track. It is my best track I was thinking
[02:09.040 -> 02:11.560] about when I was having a shower this morning if I shut my eyes can I talk
[02:11.560 -> 02:16.600] around the track I can literally see every corner. I could just see the see it in my
[02:16.600 -> 02:19.960] head you know it's the one track I would know the breaking points. What's your
[02:19.960 -> 02:31.960] what's your top speed on the game I saw you set a new speed earlier yeah set a top speed on the f1 22 1 16 9 9 4 that's not bad considering the world record is
[02:31.960 -> 02:36.880] it yano set yano guy yano up me it's like 114 something that's just ridiculous
[02:36.880 -> 02:40.520] that's just that's just too far if this is your track mate you should be able to
[02:40.520 -> 02:43.600] get I watched the video of the world record though they take the exact same
[02:43.600 -> 02:49.120] line as me they're just so much quicker the exact same line. Yeah must be the car then well also
[02:49.120 -> 02:55.680] They're gonna be quicker because they're using gears. I'm using automatic on an Xbox remote true and use like brake assists
[02:55.680 -> 02:59.300] Yeah, and everyone says f122 on a remote is delayed as well
[02:59.300 -> 03:03.880] They've removed the delay for 23, but we haven't upgraded yet. We have not upgraded yet
[03:03.880 -> 03:06.480] Maybe we will at some point point but if we were we said
[03:06.480 -> 03:07.800] the other day we're going to keep this
[03:07.800 -> 03:09.880] beanie weather yeah it is
[03:09.880 -> 03:12.280] got his McLaren beanie on yeah I do
[03:12.280 -> 03:14.480] beanie baby do you like it I love it
[03:14.480 -> 03:16.480] beanie baby I'm having a bad hair day
[03:16.480 -> 03:19.960] oh yeah what's under there oh yeah you see
[03:19.960 -> 03:22.480] I've seen it a little bit yeah hair transplant
[03:22.480 -> 03:24.000] coming in a few years for you
[03:24.000 -> 03:25.000] little David Beckham?
[03:25.000 -> 03:29.040] Yeah, he definitely has had a hair transplant.
[03:29.040 -> 03:31.160] But he's had about four I think.
[03:31.160 -> 03:32.280] Just hides them under hats.
[03:32.280 -> 03:33.280] Breaking news!
[03:33.280 -> 03:35.200] Oh, breaking news, Oli Berman.
[03:35.200 -> 03:36.040] Oli Berman!
[03:36.040 -> 03:38.320] Oli Berman's going around in FP1 in the van.
[03:38.320 -> 03:40.920] The man himself will be racing today.
[03:40.920 -> 03:41.760] Today.
[03:41.760 -> 03:43.640] In FP1, I can't wait to watch that.
[03:43.640 -> 03:45.620] Vesti also in the Mercedes.
[03:45.620 -> 03:52.580] Ah, it's great to see. Yeah, that reminded me, after last episode, we were talking about drivers that are with Prema, that are at different academies.
[03:52.580 -> 03:54.580] Yeah, Vesti's with Mercedes, isn't he? So...
[03:54.580 -> 03:55.300] That's very strange.
[03:55.300 -> 03:57.300] Quite a few drivers at different academies with Prema.
[03:57.300 -> 03:58.300] Yeah, indeed.
[03:58.300 -> 03:59.800] Breaking news.
[03:59.800 -> 04:00.300] Oh, wow.
[04:00.300 -> 04:01.300] More breaking news.

[04:04.800 -> 04:05.360] We received an email. What's this gonna be about? More breaking news huge break. I'm gonna get that breaking news
[04:07.360 -> 04:07.680] We received an email
[04:12.000 -> 04:15.560] What's this gonna be about don't go on your phone? What's this? We received an email mate What did we receive an email about have you not seen the email? No, when was it?
[04:15.960 -> 04:20.620] We've received an email today around two o'clock around an hour and a half ago. Did we which?
[04:21.240 -> 04:25.560] Confirms some massive news. Oh, I know what you're worried about.
[04:25.560 -> 04:26.060] Go on.
[04:26.060 -> 04:27.060] Do you know what I'm worried about?
[04:27.060 -> 04:27.560] Yeah.
[04:27.560 -> 04:28.760] Danny Rick.
[04:28.760 -> 04:29.520] Do you really?
[04:29.520 -> 04:30.860] The Danny Rick leak.
[04:30.860 -> 04:34.320] Daniel Riccardo is going to Red Bull.
[04:34.320 -> 04:39.860] Right, now this is off a leaked photo that we have zero proof of.
[04:39.860 -> 04:42.660] Why do you have to always shut down my...
[04:42.660 -> 04:43.660] What is the leak?
[04:43.660 -> 04:45.680] What is the leak? A picture of a hat with a 3 on it?
[04:45.680 -> 04:46.680] It's a... right.
[04:46.680 -> 04:48.680] That really does confirm it, doesn't it?
[04:48.680 -> 04:50.680] It's a... yeah, but mate, it's from the New Era website.
[04:50.680 -> 04:52.680] They would not have messed this up.
[04:52.680 -> 04:54.680] This is 100% legitimate.
[04:54.680 -> 04:57.680] There's not even a print screen, so we couldn't have photoshopped it.
[04:57.680 -> 05:05.200] It's a Red Bull Racing Daniel Ricciardo F1 Dark Blue 940, adjustable cap, 48 Euros euros and it's got a 3 on it.
[05:07.520 -> 05:11.840] Mate I don't believe it I don't think that's I don't believe it yet I mean don't get me wrong
[05:11.840 -> 05:17.120] I could see it happening I definitely definitely could see Riccardo taking the other red bull seat
[05:17.120 -> 05:22.560] whether he should or not I don't know. Mate it's confirmed. No it's not. It's confirmed by the hat.
[05:24.080 -> 05:27.840] If it does come out that that's actually happened it's been confirmed by the hat. If it does come out that that's actually happened, it's been confirmed by that hat.
[05:27.840 -> 05:28.340] Yeah.
[05:28.340 -> 05:30.180] Wow. The sorting hat.
[05:30.180 -> 05:34.840] Which I swear something happened last year.
[05:34.840 -> 05:39.060] I swear something happened again last year, or maybe the year before, or the first year we started watching.
[05:39.060 -> 05:41.980] There might have been a leak around Albin's contract extension.
[05:41.980 -> 05:42.980] Or something like that.
[05:42.980 -> 05:45.440] Or something shady going on wouldn't there?
[05:45.440 -> 05:49.480] Well that would be interesting but this week is all about Sergio Perez.
[05:49.480 -> 05:52.160] Let's not talk about Perez's seat in today's episode.
[05:52.160 -> 05:53.160] Let's give him a break.
[05:53.160 -> 05:54.160] Oh you got some stuff?
[05:54.160 -> 05:55.880] Well it's Mexico!
[05:55.880 -> 05:58.160] It's Sergio Perez's home race!
[05:58.160 -> 06:00.000] We've got to get behind the boy.
[06:00.000 -> 06:01.880] He won here last year didn't he?
[06:01.880 -> 06:03.800] And there was all the clips of him out with his family.
[06:03.800 -> 06:05.280] That might have been the year before.
[06:05.280 -> 06:08.960] Sorry if it was, but I remember him on the track.
[06:08.960 -> 06:11.280] They've got to get behind Sergio Perez this weekend.
[06:11.280 -> 06:12.120] I mean, he needs it.
[06:12.120 -> 06:14.960] So how do you propose that we get behind him then?
[06:14.960 -> 06:16.360] You can't just say that.
[06:16.360 -> 06:19.720] I think for one episode, we put Perez in our leaderboard.
[06:19.720 -> 06:21.960] We think he's going to get top three.
[06:21.960 -> 06:23.800] That's a good start.
[06:23.800 -> 06:25.400] Yeah, but you can't just put him in for like the, it's like, do you know what I mean? Do you not actually think he will start you can't just put him in for like
[06:25.400 -> 06:30.560] the it's like you know I think you can't just put it in this is a race well you
[06:30.560 -> 06:33.360] think you might have a bit of extra stink cuz yeah fans is how you're in the
[06:33.360 -> 06:36.600] house maybe there's gonna be a lot it's a dish
[06:36.600 -> 06:40.280] restaurant uh yeah will you be able to hit out on the mics yeah maybe yeah
[06:40.280 -> 06:45.000] maybe going do you want to go and ping that off? Should we turn it off? Yeah, that's very very annoying
[06:45.760 -> 06:48.840] Will Buxton didn't like it. Jake doesn't like it
[06:50.220 -> 06:52.640] The dishwasher has caught out a few people
[06:54.880 -> 06:58.800] That's the beauty of doing the podcast in your flat however the flat is
[06:59.580 -> 07:01.580] Lovely and tidy at the moment
[07:01.840 -> 07:05.000] Well must have been me because I remember you't remember you doing it. It must have been you.
[07:05.000 -> 07:06.000] Crazy.
[07:06.000 -> 07:07.000] Really tidy flat.
[07:07.000 -> 07:10.000] Anyway, go on then, I want to hear some stuff about Perez.
[07:10.000 -> 07:13.000] Well, I haven't got any more about Perez, I was just saying it's his home race, so I
[07:13.000 -> 07:14.000] thought we should back him.
[07:14.000 -> 07:15.000] I do think you do...
[07:15.000 -> 07:17.000] Oh, I do have something else about Perez, actually.
[07:17.000 -> 07:20.000] You do get a bit of the extra juice when you're at your home race.
[07:20.000 -> 07:23.000] It depends whether you kind of capitalise on it or crumble.
[07:23.000 -> 07:24.000] Yeah.
[07:24.000 -> 07:26.440] And I feel like in Miami Logan
[07:26.440 -> 07:28.880] Sargent crumbled but then he scored
[07:28.880 -> 07:31.840] points in... but Logan's got three home races so that's ok
[07:31.840 -> 07:34.360] yeah it's not so bad for him but Sergio's got one
[07:34.360 -> 07:36.200] I don't know how it's going to go for him in Vegas we'll see
[07:36.200 -> 07:38.760] we'll have to see we may be getting behind Sergio
[07:38.760 -> 07:41.600] Perez this weekend however last weekend
[07:41.600 -> 07:48.680] Sergio Perez's on board reveals that went, he cut the corner 26 times
[07:48.680 -> 07:52.320] in the race, which would have amounted to 75 seconds
[07:52.320 -> 07:55.200] in time penalties, which should have put him 11th,
[07:55.200 -> 07:56.640] but he didn't get any of them.
[07:56.640 -> 07:59.200] And that's off his footage, if you took his driver footage.
[07:59.200 -> 08:00.040] You see that?
[08:00.040 -> 08:02.320] If you took his driver footage from the on-board,
[08:02.320 -> 08:04.400] you could see he went off 26 times in the race.
[08:04.400 -> 08:06.400] That's not even like just off the line, that's on the other side of the curb.
[08:06.400 -> 08:08.560] But a lot of people did go off.
[08:08.560 -> 08:10.480] So it's not like you just say it's Joe.
[08:10.480 -> 08:11.920] I bet loads of people went off loads.
[08:11.920 -> 08:14.840] Wasn't it him calling in saying that it was George
[08:14.840 -> 08:15.660] who was going off?
[08:15.660 -> 08:17.120] I think there's a little bit of everyone
[08:17.120 -> 08:19.160] would do that to everyone.
[08:19.160 -> 08:20.000] Especially like,
[08:20.000 -> 08:23.240] cause it's got so tight in the middle now, hasn't it?
[08:23.240 -> 08:24.800] Cause there's like, it's potential.
[08:24.800 -> 08:27.000] I feel like everyone's just trying to, I feel like something's coming mate, because it's got so tight in the middle now, hasn't it? Because there's like, it's potential that it's gonna fit.
[08:27.000 -> 08:28.280] I feel like something's coming, mate,
[08:28.280 -> 08:30.760] because everyone's trying to be nice to Checo.
[08:30.760 -> 08:31.720] Well, have you seen the backlash
[08:31.720 -> 08:33.000] about the 11th team on the grid?
[08:33.000 -> 08:35.720] Because Andretti apparently would become the 11th team.
[08:35.720 -> 08:37.160] You know, they've been approved.
[08:37.160 -> 08:39.920] They just have to get everything sorted now to get in.
[08:39.920 -> 08:41.640] They would be an 11th team.
[08:41.640 -> 08:43.120] So it would be 11 teams.
[08:43.120 -> 08:44.440] What's he thinking, Checo goes there?
[08:44.440 -> 08:48.480] Well, no, I don't know, but just two more drivers is interesting I like that.
[08:48.480 -> 08:49.680] Two more seats.
[08:49.680 -> 08:52.400] Yeah, I mean I'd like it as well but apparently...
[08:52.400 -> 08:55.440] No, he received a load of backlash about it, didn't he?
[08:55.440 -> 08:58.480] Yeah, well the president of FIA got loads of backlash, yeah.
[08:58.480 -> 09:00.640] Yeah, because... do you know why?
[09:00.640 -> 09:01.280] No.
[09:01.280 -> 09:06.000] I don't really know why. I felt like it was something to do with the team
[09:06.000 -> 09:07.480] that he was wanting to bring in.
[09:07.480 -> 09:10.320] I think he had a certain team that he wanted to bring in
[09:11.400 -> 09:13.220] and there was some backlash from other teams
[09:13.220 -> 09:17.080] or no, it was backlash actually from the F1 about it.
[09:17.080 -> 09:17.920] Wasn't it?
[09:17.920 -> 09:18.740] Okay, but why?
[09:18.740 -> 09:21.120] But it was about the actual team and who they are
[09:21.120 -> 09:23.400] and what, and I don't know.
[09:23.400 -> 09:25.000] I don't really understand it to be honest
[09:25.000 -> 09:28.800] but I want to see more cars on the grid. Yeah well we know Andre you want to come in.
[09:28.800 -> 09:33.560] Speaking of new people on the grid, Marta Garcia. Yes Marta Garcia has made a big
[09:33.560 -> 09:37.800] change. She has just announced that she is joining Freca. Mm-hmm she sure is.
[09:37.800 -> 09:45.520] Do you know what Freca stands for? Ford Renault Endurance Cup cup yep it's the
[09:45.520 -> 09:48.880] Ford Renault Cup it's Formula Regional
[09:48.880 -> 09:52.280] European Championship by Alpine yeah
[09:52.280 -> 09:53.720] she's got a fully funded race seat which
[09:53.720 -> 09:56.000] is amazing it's by Alpine yeah so she
[09:56.000 -> 09:58.120] is that's where Oli Caldwell is no?
[09:58.120 -> 10:01.600] what? is Oli Caldwell there? is Oli
[10:01.600 -> 10:03.840] Caldwell in Vrka? no he's not. what's Oli Caldwell
[10:03.840 -> 10:06.360] doing? I don't know he's doing like Wreck or something.
[10:06.360 -> 10:07.760] Is he on GT4?
[10:07.760 -> 10:09.280] Mate, there's so many races here.
[10:09.280 -> 10:10.360] He's doing something like that.
[10:10.360 -> 10:12.560] She's joining with Prema, which is great,
[10:12.560 -> 10:14.360] because Prema are the current world champions.
[10:14.360 -> 10:15.520] Okay.
[10:15.520 -> 10:17.240] And they had Andrea Antonelli.
[10:17.240 -> 10:20.040] He won this year, Mercedes Junior driver.
[10:20.040 -> 10:21.560] So she's going into a good old space.
[10:21.560 -> 10:24.160] Yeah, and he, this is where I got confused, right?
[10:24.160 -> 10:27.240] So I thought that W, I thought that W I thought W series I
[10:27.240 -> 10:31.400] thought F1 Academy WWE that's what we
[10:31.400 -> 10:33.720] need a fucking Royal Rumble all 20
[10:33.720 -> 10:36.160] drivers I wanted that would be the most
[10:36.160 -> 10:38.320] watched thing of the year I'd love it
[10:38.320 -> 10:41.240] who would be here and it's and it's
[10:41.240 -> 10:43.440] random tag teams who do you think is winning that?
[10:43.440 -> 10:46.040] random tag teams um well you know you is winning that? It's random tag teams.
[10:49.360 -> 10:51.160] Well, you know you had Generation X on WWE, Triple H and Shawn.
[10:51.160 -> 10:52.000] Yeah.
[10:52.000 -> 10:52.840] The heartbreak kid or whatever he was called.
[10:52.840 -> 10:54.120] Potentially, yeah.
[10:54.120 -> 10:56.000] We'd have to put together a dream too.
[10:56.000 -> 10:57.640] I only know Rey Mysterio to be honest.
[10:57.640 -> 10:58.600] 619.
[10:58.600 -> 11:00.120] Yeah, he was just the one I liked.
[11:00.120 -> 11:02.360] Boyaka, boyaka, 619.
[11:02.360 -> 11:03.720] I was always under the impression
[11:03.720 -> 11:06.800] that you go from F1 Academy into F3.
[11:07.700 -> 11:09.800] That's- that was the original pathway, yeah.
[11:09.800 -> 11:11.100] That was the original pathway.
[11:11.100 -> 11:15.600] And I've done a bit of digging earlier, and I found out, right, that basically-
[11:15.600 -> 11:16.500] Where are we here?
[11:17.900 -> 11:22.300] So after karting, you go into F4, and then after F4, you go to Formula Regional.
[11:22.900 -> 11:25.900] But Formula Regional is like, essentially an F4 car, but I think it's just quicker
[11:26.540 -> 11:29.820] So Antonelli, he's just announced that he's going into f2
[11:30.960 -> 11:38.180] Yeah, so he's essentially skipping f3. That's quite a big step up. I didn't know you were allowed to skip a yeah
[11:38.180 -> 11:41.720] Yeah, you can skip a few people have skipped I think
[11:42.620 -> 11:45.840] Oli Behrman may have skipped skipped one I don't know there's someone
[11:45.840 -> 11:48.480] one of these people here has skipped one
[11:48.480 -> 11:50.520] definitely I remember we've covered it at
[11:50.520 -> 11:51.560] some point one of the people on the
[11:51.560 -> 11:53.200] leaderboard did it there's slightly more
[11:53.200 -> 11:55.440] hope for you and me I don't think there's
[11:55.440 -> 11:56.880] any hope for me and you we're getting old
[11:56.880 -> 11:59.120] unless we do the what makes you say that
[11:59.120 -> 12:00.840] you had like a revelation well we are
[12:00.840 -> 12:02.520] getting old aren't we? We looked in the mirror
[12:02.520 -> 12:04.240] yeah and I start to see wrinkles grey hairs
[12:04.240 -> 12:06.000] wrinkles? where are the wrinkles at?
[12:06.000 -> 12:08.000] They're hidden under my hat
[12:08.000 -> 12:10.000] You've got a few forehead wrinkles but I've always liked that
[12:10.000 -> 12:12.000] Well cheers, they're the wrinkles I was on about
[12:12.000 -> 12:14.000] I was hoping you didn't see them
[12:14.000 -> 12:16.000] Nah you haven't got like crow's feet or anything
[12:16.000 -> 12:18.000] They're the bad ones
[12:18.000 -> 12:20.000] Crow's feet? What's a crow's feet?
[12:20.000 -> 12:22.000] Oh what, them lines you've got?
[12:22.000 -> 12:24.000] Them free lines coming out of your eyes
[12:24.000 -> 12:25.720] Yeah those ones that you've actually got as well. But I was being fucking nice.
[12:25.720 -> 12:28.300] Yours are fucking massive, you old fuck.
[12:28.300 -> 12:30.860] I'm older than you.
[12:30.860 -> 12:32.420] And it's nearly your birthday.
[12:32.420 -> 12:33.260] Yeah, it is.
[12:33.260 -> 12:34.940] Remind everyone your birthday.
[12:34.940 -> 12:35.780] Well, the date?
[12:35.780 -> 12:36.900] Yeah, 4th of November.
[12:36.900 -> 12:38.420] I just needed that because I'd forgotten.
[12:38.420 -> 12:39.900] I go anyways every year.
[12:39.900 -> 12:40.740] You want to get me?
[12:40.740 -> 12:41.560] You want to get me, sir?
[12:41.560 -> 12:43.860] What would you like for your birthday?
[12:43.860 -> 12:48.000] If you could pick anything within a reasonable budget, what would you like?
[12:48.000 -> 12:49.000] F123.
[12:49.000 -> 12:50.000] The gang?
[12:50.000 -> 12:51.000] Yeah.
[12:51.000 -> 12:52.000] Sure, maybe.
[12:52.000 -> 12:53.000] Or a meeting greet.
[12:53.000 -> 12:54.000] Maybe the birthday...
[12:54.000 -> 12:56.560] A meeting greet with Fernando Alonso.
[12:56.560 -> 12:57.560] A meeting greet with Fernando...
[12:57.560 -> 12:59.560] Alright, I see what the birthday elves could do.
[12:59.560 -> 13:01.280] Or a track day with Latifi.
[13:01.280 -> 13:02.600] Track day with Latifi could be possible.
[13:02.600 -> 13:03.600] That would be lit.
[13:03.600 -> 13:04.600] I see what I can do for you, mate.
[13:04.600 -> 13:07.200] That would be lit. Thanks, man. Who do you reckon this year has the most
[13:07.200 -> 13:17.020] retirements? You mate, you're getting old. I think you might. Dickhead. The most retirements this year?
[13:17.020 -> 13:24.300] It's gotta be either Logie Sarge, is it quite a, it could be a quite a big team as well
[13:24.300 -> 13:25.120] depending on the star. Just off the bat who do you think it might be? I say Logie Sarge. Yeah so a bit could be quite a big team as well depending on the stuff
[13:25.120 -> 13:26.560] about who do you think I say look Sarge
[13:26.560 -> 13:28.160] yes I think most people would assume
[13:28.160 -> 13:30.920] maybe is Logan but it's actually not oh
[13:30.920 -> 13:34.120] it's Ocon oh Ocon has had seven
[13:34.120 -> 13:36.440] retirements this year. Retirements?
[13:36.440 -> 13:40.120] shut up seven retirements he goes kind
[13:40.120 -> 13:41.720] of under the radar it's not as spoken
[13:41.720 -> 13:44.000] about as much as other drivers but
[13:44.000 -> 13:45.040] that's a lot oh you got a graphic there yeah and when you're when you're having about as much as other drivers but that's a lot
[13:45.040 -> 13:49.600] oh you got a graphic there yeah and when you're when you're having that many retirements in a year
[13:49.600 -> 13:55.120] that's costing the team that's how many's Logan had i mean well Logan's had six Ocon's had seven
[13:55.120 -> 14:00.000] damn and admittedly not all of these are like they're crashes like Ocon's had quite a few
[14:00.000 -> 14:09.680] faults and things go wrong with the car but it just shows how big the difference is like Norris hasn't even retired, Verstappen hasn't even retired
[14:09.680 -> 14:16.760] Wow no mistakes, Alonso retired once, Piastri three times, Hamilton once
[14:16.760 -> 14:22.920] but when you've got the top top drivers only retiring once or none really and
[14:22.920 -> 14:25.120] then you've got other people on seven and six
[14:25.120 -> 14:26.660] and only a 22 race season.
[14:26.660 -> 14:30.000] That's quite a lot of retirements in one year.
[14:30.000 -> 14:30.940] And it just made me think,
[14:30.940 -> 14:32.820] I wonder what the threshold is at the team
[14:32.820 -> 14:34.140] where they're like,
[14:34.140 -> 14:37.060] shit, we've retired the car five times this year already.
[14:37.060 -> 14:39.900] I suppose it's like they could have crashed
[14:39.900 -> 14:42.520] and retired the car or the car could have just given up.
[14:42.520 -> 14:44.740] But does that mean there's pressure on Ocon
[14:44.740 -> 14:47.920] that we don't talk about? Because surely that's a lot of
[14:47.920 -> 14:51.200] retirement. I mean let's see what he does in Mexico. He did get a podium in Monaco.
[14:51.200 -> 14:54.720] I feel like he'll stay there for a while. You reckon? Yeah, just because he's
[14:54.720 -> 14:57.880] French and I think, I swear I said to you like a few months ago, they're trying to
[14:57.880 -> 15:01.680] remake the team a little bit and make it more French even though Anthony Joshua
[15:01.680 -> 15:07.000] was just going to... Whack some croissants in the breakfast bar and have them real good. Yeah, that's it. That'll make it more French. though Anthony Joshua was just gonna... Just whack some croissants! Whack some croissants in the breakfast bar and have them real good!
[15:07.000 -> 15:08.000] Yeah, that's it.
[15:08.000 -> 15:09.000] That'll make it more French.
[15:09.000 -> 15:12.000] Yeah, I think Ocon might perform better with a little croissant in him before...
[15:12.000 -> 15:14.000] He probably does anyway, doesn't he? What are we kidding?
[15:14.000 -> 15:18.000] Yeah, well he did get a podium in Monaco, so maybe he won't lose his job, that's true.

[16:45.000 -> 16:47.520] Did you see the video?
[16:47.520 -> 16:51.280] So they've got, right, they've got a, in Mexico,
[16:51.280 -> 16:53.040] they've got a pinata in the paddock.
[16:53.040 -> 16:53.880] Have you seen that?
[16:53.880 -> 16:55.720] Yes, I've seen this video.
[16:55.720 -> 16:57.680] Have you seen the video of Valterino Bottas
[16:57.680 -> 16:58.520] and Guan Yu-Jo?
[16:58.520 -> 16:59.340] Oh my God.
[16:59.340 -> 17:01.120] Right, there's a few other drivers, right,
[17:01.120 -> 17:02.640] who have done this and they're hitting it,
[17:02.640 -> 17:03.720] like they're having fun,
[17:03.720 -> 17:05.620] they're just like knocking the thing around
[17:05.620 -> 17:09.420] go on you Joe, stand in there, having a bit of fun, you know, batting it here and there
[17:09.420 -> 17:13.200] Valtteri Bottas mate unleashes the fucking beast!
[17:13.200 -> 17:15.200] Unleashed hell on this vignette!
[17:15.200 -> 17:17.200] He absolutely went hell for leather, look I've got the video here
[17:17.200 -> 17:19.200] we've got to watch it together
[17:19.200 -> 17:22.480] He absolutely smashes the shit out of it, he let every bit of anger out that you've ever seen
[17:22.480 -> 17:24.480] I want to see that anger in the car
[17:24.480 -> 17:25.200] look here you go he's absolutely, he's smacking it every bit of anger out that you've ever seen. I wanna see that anger in the car.
[17:25.200 -> 17:26.040] Look, here you go.
[17:26.040 -> 17:28.960] He's absolutely, he's smacking it.
[17:28.960 -> 17:31.840] He's absolutely killing it.
[17:31.840 -> 17:33.320] He actually grabs it with his hand.
[17:33.320 -> 17:34.960] He's like, come here, you bastard.
[17:34.960 -> 17:36.940] Cause Joe's like hitting it quite hard,
[17:36.940 -> 17:38.560] but like not really trying.
[17:38.560 -> 17:39.680] And then, yeah, but wait for it.
[17:39.680 -> 17:40.520] Because.
[17:40.520 -> 17:41.800] Bottas is defending his life.
[17:41.800 -> 17:44.280] Yeah, but then look, it goes to the floor
[17:44.280 -> 17:45.320] and he still hits it while it goes to the floor and he still hits it
[17:45.320 -> 17:52.200] while it's on the floor. Maybe he's had a bad day mate or maybe there was some
[17:52.200 -> 17:56.360] sweets in there that he really likes. He picks it up and chucks it. To me that proves
[17:56.360 -> 18:00.440] because he's quite a silent bloke innit? He's a bit of a silent killer. I wouldn't
[18:00.440 -> 18:05.400] want to get in the ring with him. Or V VB. No, yeah, silent killer, that is it.
[18:05.400 -> 18:10.400] When someone is so meticulous, but so quiet,
[18:10.600 -> 18:13.000] but you know that they've got a little bit of rough in them,
[18:13.000 -> 18:15.080] I think that's when they're really dangerous.
[18:15.080 -> 18:16.240] He could be an assassin, couldn't he?
[18:16.240 -> 18:17.600] Like some Finnish assassin.
[18:17.600 -> 18:19.200] He literally could be an assassin.
[18:19.200 -> 18:21.200] He's got like a polar bear inside of him or something.
[18:21.200 -> 18:22.720] That's Valtteri Bottas.
[18:22.720 -> 18:23.560] That's incredible.
[18:23.560 -> 18:24.840] But that is all the anger.
[18:24.840 -> 18:27.800] He's letting out every bit of anger that he's ever had in Formula 1.
[18:27.800 -> 18:30.500] I think it's his mullet, his mullet makes it look better as well.
[18:30.500 -> 18:32.900] Yeah, he's got a mullet, a few people have got moustaches.
[18:32.900 -> 18:34.500] Oh, friend Sam's growing a mullet.
[18:35.100 -> 18:37.800] Sam's growing a mullet, yeah, or he just doesn't want a haircut.
[18:38.200 -> 18:39.500] True, yeah, he doesn't shower either.
[18:39.500 -> 18:43.300] Who comes, stays at someone else's house without a toothbrush or a towel or anything?
[18:43.300 -> 18:44.800] I don't know, he's just a weird bloke.
[18:45.400 -> 18:48.800] So Mexico, mate. Mexico, how are you feeling about this?
[18:48.800 -> 18:51.000] The year's winding down very quickly.
[18:51.000 -> 18:53.000] Yeah, the year is winding down very quickly.
[18:53.000 -> 18:57.400] We've got Mexico, we've got Brazil, which in that gap we may have a special guest.
[18:57.400 -> 18:59.000] Oh, we do, we do.
[18:59.000 -> 19:02.600] And then after Brazil you've got, what, Vegas and the Nabudabi and that's it.
[19:02.600 -> 19:05.760] Yeah, the year is coming to an end quick, but like we've always said,
[19:05.760 -> 19:07.440] I don't mind the end of the season
[19:07.440 -> 19:10.320] because that's when we can get the guests a lot easier.
[19:11.500 -> 19:13.800] I'm just excited to see the Mercedes
[19:13.800 -> 19:16.360] and hopefully they can keep making a step forward.
[19:16.360 -> 19:18.080] And equally the McLarens,
[19:18.080 -> 19:20.200] I want them to keep making a step forward.
[19:20.200 -> 19:22.240] And we received a message about my opinions
[19:22.240 -> 19:24.040] on Daniel Ricciardo in the last message.
[19:24.040 -> 19:25.500] So, which is fair enough. Ricciardo, the last message. Oh my god.
[19:25.500 -> 19:26.500] Which is fair enough.
[19:26.500 -> 19:28.000] Shed some light on that message.
[19:28.000 -> 19:33.000] Now, I don't know if you knew who this was, but we've actually shouted this person out on the pod before.
[19:33.500 -> 19:34.500] Yes.
[19:34.500 -> 19:36.500] Yeah, she sent...
[19:37.500 -> 19:38.500] Was it 10 voice notes?
[19:38.500 -> 19:40.000] Quite a lot of voice messages, yeah.
[19:40.000 -> 19:41.500] Now, I love the passion.
[19:41.500 -> 19:42.500] I love it.
[19:42.500 -> 19:43.500] And she was...
[19:43.500 -> 19:47.520] The great thing about it was that she fucking told us we were wrong.
[19:47.520 -> 19:49.640] But she didn't like, she wasn't nasty about it.
[19:49.640 -> 19:52.040] She was like, guys, I love your staff,
[19:52.040 -> 19:53.480] but you're fucking wrong.
[19:53.480 -> 19:56.960] You can't say Ricardo's washed if you can't back it up.
[19:56.960 -> 19:58.960] That's basically what it was.
[19:58.960 -> 20:01.560] However, I still stand by what I said.
[20:01.560 -> 20:03.240] Until I'm proven completely wrong
[20:03.240 -> 20:06.000] and he gets in that car and goes and smashes it, then I'll hold my head up.
[20:06.000 -> 20:09.000] Her point was that he's just come back from a major operation on his wrists.
[20:09.000 -> 20:14.000] Before the operation he was still behind Yuki. Liam coming to a car that didn't have as many upgrades.
[20:14.000 -> 20:15.000] Bloody year off.
[20:15.000 -> 20:16.000] Yeah, but he's...
[20:16.000 -> 20:19.000] And maybe Liam Lawson is just like a weird freak of nature.
[20:19.000 -> 20:25.280] Let's be honest, Daniel Ricciardo wasn't the best driver ever even at McLaren how far back
[20:25.280 -> 20:29.520] do we have to go to find you nearly won a champion you won a race but how far
[20:29.520 -> 20:33.240] back do we have to go are we going back to his wins at Red Bull to say he was a
[20:33.240 -> 20:40.920] better Windsor so he was born in Windsor and I'm not against Ricciardo I love
[20:40.920 -> 20:44.280] Ricciardo I think he's great and great for the sport but it just saying like I
[20:44.280 -> 20:49.940] obviously didn't watch the sport when he was really good that we're being told so I'm only going off
[20:49.940 -> 20:54.120] What I'm seeing currently. I'm not good. He doesn't look like the best driver on the grid right now
[20:54.600 -> 20:57.160] Well, it depends on what driver or like actually physically
[20:59.680 -> 21:04.060] There's a lot of people love the nose didn't they I found that out like he has got a beautiful nose
[21:04.120 -> 21:08.080] It's um large rather large kind of Roman style nose.
[21:08.080 -> 21:09.840] More to love though, I think.
[21:09.840 -> 21:10.340] Yeah?
[21:10.880 -> 21:12.880] Like, I think there's a lot more to fall in love with.
[21:12.880 -> 21:16.480] Do you reckon, yeah, do you reckon he has a problem getting in the helmet? Do you reckon he's alright?
[21:17.120 -> 21:19.600] I mean, if we felt his helmet, that sounds wrong.
[21:19.600 -> 21:23.760] His helmet doesn't sound like the best thing to say.
[21:23.760 -> 21:25.920] You have felt Daniel Ricciardo's helmet.
[21:25.920 -> 21:27.920] You held it too with two hands.
[21:27.920 -> 21:29.920] I know, it was rather small.
[21:29.920 -> 21:31.920] It was rather small.
[21:31.920 -> 21:37.920] But for real, if you haven't held a Formula One driver's helmet before, maybe it's because
[21:37.920 -> 21:41.920] everyone thinks we're short but we're actually quite large beings.
[21:41.920 -> 21:47.220] Holding an F1 driver's helmet, it's just funny because it's really small
[21:47.220 -> 21:52.060] it's really small isn't it really padded but yeah really small yeah yeah we
[21:52.060 -> 21:57.340] actually have an F2 drivers suit in the house we have Clement Novak's suit yeah
[21:57.340 -> 22:00.700] we tried to get into but yeah just finishing up on that message about
[22:00.700 -> 22:08.720] Riccardo appreciate the opinion like I said I'll hold my hands up if I'm proven wrong and he goes and flies out the gates and shows anything, but I think
[22:08.720 -> 22:13.480] a lot of it might be my bias to how good Liam was doing, I just like the fact he was given
[22:13.480 -> 22:17.720] a chance. But either way, let's see what Ricciardo can do, let's see what Ricciardo can do.
[22:17.720 -> 22:20.240] Max Verstappen entered the 50 win club.
[22:20.240 -> 22:21.240] Yep, he did.
[22:21.240 -> 22:23.200] Do you know the other drivers in it?
[22:23.200 -> 22:24.200] Yep, Sebastian Vettel.
[22:24.200 -> 22:30.000] Yep. Michael Schumacher. Yep. Lewis Hamilton. Yep. And the final one. And the final one,
[22:30.000 -> 22:38.000] 50 wins, I'm going to give it to Ayrton Senna. No. Fuck. Alain Prost. I think Senna's got like 33 or something.
[22:38.000 -> 22:43.000] That's off the top of my head. Oh really, do you want to Google that and find out? Nah, I reckon it's spot on.
[22:43.000 -> 22:46.640] I don't know. I have no idea, that was a complete guess.
[22:46.640 -> 22:47.840] Fair enough, mate.
[22:47.840 -> 22:48.680] Fair enough.
[22:48.680 -> 22:53.680] F1 drivers helmets.
[22:53.720 -> 22:56.680] God, today's episode really is going downhill.
[22:56.680 -> 22:57.800] And it was all thanks to Michael.
[22:57.800 -> 22:59.960] Michael set us up holding the helmet.
[22:59.960 -> 23:00.840] Good old Michael.
[23:02.200 -> 23:03.560] Otherwise, it's not even funny.
[23:03.560 -> 23:05.960] You know when you used to be in primary school
[23:05.960 -> 23:08.440] and you're in assembly and the teachers are saying something
[23:08.440 -> 23:10.160] and your mate makes you laugh
[23:10.160 -> 23:12.000] and everything's 10 times funnier
[23:12.000 -> 23:13.880] because you're not supposed to be laughing.
[23:13.880 -> 23:14.720] They're my favorite.
[23:14.720 -> 23:17.080] School assemblies, I remember sitting on the floor
[23:17.080 -> 23:18.320] and then when you got to the final year,
[23:18.320 -> 23:20.680] you had the bench at the back of the class.
[23:20.680 -> 23:25.000] Did you have, did they play- Music did you, did they play-
[23:25.280 -> 23:26.120] Music?
[23:26.120 -> 23:28.600] No, did they play the World Cup in primary school?
[23:28.600 -> 23:30.400] Yes, when there was games on.
[23:30.400 -> 23:31.240] Did they-
[23:31.240 -> 23:32.060] On the big whiteboard.
[23:32.060 -> 23:33.200] Oh, really, what?
[23:33.200 -> 23:34.920] On the big whiteboard, once we'd upgraded
[23:34.920 -> 23:36.040] to the new whiteboards.
[23:36.040 -> 23:36.880] You had those?
[23:36.880 -> 23:37.720] Yeah, mate.
[23:37.720 -> 23:40.040] Mate, they used to wheel out like a 26 inch TV
[23:40.040 -> 23:41.280] Oh no, we had that as well.
[23:41.280 -> 23:42.480] On a fucking trolley.
[23:42.480 -> 23:43.320] Yeah.
[23:43.320 -> 23:46.640] And everyone was sat, it was for like one of the, I was in like year two maybe.
[23:46.640 -> 23:50.400] If they wheeled out that telly, you knew you were going to have a good afternoon at school
[23:50.400 -> 23:51.400] mate.
[23:51.400 -> 23:54.200] But I swear every single time they brought the telly out, we watched Oliver Twist.
[23:54.200 -> 23:56.380] I just feel like I always watched the same film.
[23:56.380 -> 23:59.240] We never wheeled the TV out, only when the World Cup was on.
[23:59.240 -> 24:00.240] Really?
[24:00.240 -> 24:01.240] Yeah.
[24:01.240 -> 24:02.240] It was for like a semifinal or something.
[24:02.240 -> 24:03.240] It sounds miserable.
[24:03.240 -> 24:04.240] Like miserably.
[24:04.240 -> 24:05.000] The semifinals. Yeah, we were all in the hall. There was only like a hundred-final or something. The semi-finals?
[24:05.000 -> 24:06.000] Yeah, we were all in the hall.
[24:06.000 -> 24:08.000] There was only like a hundred of us in my primary school.
[24:08.000 -> 24:10.000] You, Jake Smith, Russell, Corn.
[24:10.000 -> 24:13.000] Yep, Lewis Walker, Sam Vine, Harry Payne.
[24:13.000 -> 24:14.000] Shout out to the boys, eh?
[24:14.000 -> 24:15.000] We were watching the football.
[24:15.000 -> 24:21.000] Do you think that they would do that now, if a British driver in Formula 1 was in like,
[24:21.000 -> 24:31.280] you know, tasting distance of winning a championship. Do you think, let's say if George Russell next year is battling it out with Max Verstappen
[24:31.280 -> 24:34.440] to win the championship, do you reckon they'll wheel a TV out in primary schools?
[24:34.440 -> 24:37.400] I don't know mate, not many people go to school on Sundays.
[24:37.400 -> 24:40.400] I saw you queuing up.
[24:40.400 -> 24:48.000] The whole time I was thinking you fucking idiot.
[24:48.000 -> 24:51.000] At max you'd have like a sprint shootout or something.
[24:51.000 -> 24:52.000] Oh yeah!
[24:52.000 -> 24:55.000] Not many people go to school on Saturday and Sunday.
[24:55.000 -> 24:58.000] I mean, maybe if you go to church.
[24:58.000 -> 24:59.000] School.
[24:59.000 -> 25:00.000] Private school?
[25:00.000 -> 25:01.000] Yeah, maybe if you, I reckon they would.
[25:01.000 -> 25:03.000] They don't get Sundays off in private school.
[25:03.000 -> 25:07.880] I don't know, it isn't as much of like a country sport, is it?
[25:07.880 -> 25:09.160] As like football.
[25:09.160 -> 25:10.720] When it's like England in the world cup,
[25:10.720 -> 25:12.120] the whole of England supports them.
[25:12.120 -> 25:15.080] But like even here, there's multiple English drivers.
[25:15.080 -> 25:16.660] Like yeah, England supports an English driver,
[25:16.660 -> 25:18.760] but we also support drivers from other countries.
[25:18.760 -> 25:21.640] And it's not quite as, I mean,
[25:21.640 -> 25:22.720] that's what we were talking about
[25:22.720 -> 25:24.540] where we wanted them to bring back that thing
[25:24.540 -> 25:28.260] where they was like, apparently still have no proof of it,
[25:28.260 -> 25:29.880] but apparently there was that race before
[25:29.880 -> 25:32.740] where there was two German drivers, two French drivers,
[25:32.740 -> 25:36.260] two Spanish drivers, and it was like a charity thing.
[25:36.260 -> 25:39.020] Like, and they did it once a year or something.
[25:39.020 -> 25:42.140] And like Vettel went with Mick, I think,
[25:42.140 -> 25:42.980] or something like that.
[25:42.980 -> 25:44.620] Oh, yeah.
[25:44.620 -> 25:47.520] Like if they bought that back, that was an off-road thing.
[25:47.520 -> 25:51.120] Oh no but that's not what I'm on about and I'm talking about actual F1.
[25:51.120 -> 25:55.040] That, if maybe they could get countries involved. That would be quite cool
[25:55.040 -> 25:59.600] like a world cup. The F1 world cup. Almost like a world championship.
[25:59.600 -> 26:03.840] Maybe they could do it on a weekday for you so everyone could come out of school.
[26:03.840 -> 26:05.360] We could do it on a Tuesday. for you so everyone could come out of school. We could do it on a Tuesday.
[26:05.360 -> 26:06.800] On a Tuesday.
[26:06.800 -> 26:09.840] I used to always take Wednesday off school, that was the best way to Skive.
[26:09.840 -> 26:11.840] Wednesday is hump day.
[26:11.840 -> 26:13.840] I used to love Skiving because if I wasn't-
[26:13.840 -> 26:15.840] Why don't you tell everyone what you used to do?
[26:15.840 -> 26:17.840] You used to leave a fucking note on your door.
[26:17.840 -> 26:19.840] My mum might get arrested or something.
[26:19.840 -> 26:21.840] I know, it's too long ago now.
[26:21.840 -> 26:23.840] You used to leave a note on your door saying, ill, not coming in.
[26:23.840 -> 26:26.000] No, that's awful. I had a lock on my door saying, ill, not coming in. That's awful.
[26:26.000 -> 26:28.000] I had a lock on my door so I, oh it was really bad.
[26:28.000 -> 26:30.000] And you'd be sat on your Xbox all day
[26:30.000 -> 26:32.000] playing game battles.
[26:32.000 -> 26:34.000] Yeah mate. Mom, make me a milkshake.
[26:34.000 -> 26:36.000] Mom, mom, I want a milkshake.
[26:36.000 -> 26:38.000] Yeah but as soon as I got a phone
[26:38.000 -> 26:40.000] I'd just text, mom can I get a milkshake
[26:40.000 -> 26:42.000] up here pronto? You know those are the best
[26:42.000 -> 26:44.000] days. When all your mates were in the Xbox
[26:44.000 -> 26:47.160] party chat. You'd be like on Xbox till like 2 a.m. you knew you had
[26:47.160 -> 26:50.080] school the next day and you'd make a mutual agreement between your mates like
[26:50.080 -> 26:52.480] that's all that's what I was gonna say just take the day off school tomorrow
[26:52.480 -> 26:57.400] and we'll just absolutely my mom would go out to work at about 830 so if I just
[26:57.400 -> 27:01.520] pulled a sickie between 730 and 8 then she had to leave and I'm like yeah I'm
[27:01.520 -> 27:04.480] gonna stay you had it figured all I had to do was put a note on the door and
[27:04.480 -> 27:05.000] lock the door and then it turns out I I had to do was put a note on the door and lock the door,
[27:05.000 -> 27:06.600] and then it turns out I wasn't going anywhere.
[27:06.600 -> 27:08.000] You had a lock on your door as a child?
[27:08.000 -> 27:10.000] Yeah, I put it in for the sickies.
[27:10.000 -> 27:11.600] Wow, you installed it yourself?
[27:11.600 -> 27:12.200] Yeah, mate!
[27:12.200 -> 27:12.700] Very nice.
[27:12.700 -> 27:14.700] DIY! Don't underestimate me!
[27:14.700 -> 27:15.500] Delight me.
[27:15.500 -> 27:16.600] Trust me, I know what I'm doing.
[27:16.600 -> 27:18.000] Predictions!
[27:18.000 -> 27:18.600] Ooh, okay.
[27:18.600 -> 27:19.800] For the Mexican Grand Prix.
[27:19.800 -> 27:21.000] Alright.
[27:21.000 -> 27:24.000] Well, Mercedes have kind of come out of nowhere,
[27:24.000 -> 27:25.480] but I am gonna go with what I
[27:25.480 -> 27:36.200] said I reckon Sergio Perez is gonna win this weekend and I know that that goes
[27:36.200 -> 27:39.680] against everything I've said for the last five months of his Red Bull seat
[27:39.680 -> 27:43.400] but it's his home race he's shown up here before the cars quick enough you
[27:43.400 -> 27:45.200] think it is gonna turn the engine yeah he's shown up here before, the car's quick enough. You think they're just going to turn the engine up again?
[27:45.200 -> 27:47.880] Yeah, he's clearly a good driver on his day.
[27:47.880 -> 27:49.200] He must know this track quite well.
[27:49.200 -> 27:52.160] They left the fans behind him, they had the engine turned up.
[27:52.160 -> 27:55.480] And also, Red Bull are really going to want him to win it.
[27:55.480 -> 27:57.000] That's probably just as important.
[27:57.000 -> 27:59.120] As a final send off.
[27:59.120 -> 28:00.520] As a final send off?
[28:00.520 -> 28:01.520] Yeah.
[28:01.520 -> 28:02.520] No, I don't think...
[28:02.520 -> 28:10.460] A last hoorah before he says see you later. I've become so conflicted with who's leaving who's going where so I'm just gonna wait and see because otherwise every episode
[28:10.460 -> 28:12.460] I'm just chance shit. Yeah fair enough. I think
[28:13.440 -> 28:19.360] The Charlotte Claire wins the Mexican Grand Prix Charlotte Claire that Ferrari. Yeah, nice. Yep in second place
[28:20.120 -> 28:22.120] I'm gonna go for
[28:22.600 -> 28:26.000] Oscar piastri,, with some upgrades?
[28:26.000 -> 28:27.000] Yep, is he getting them?
[28:27.000 -> 28:29.000] I believe he will have the McLaren upgrades, the lucky man.
[28:29.000 -> 28:30.000] Excellent.
[28:31.000 -> 28:32.000] What about your second place?
[28:32.000 -> 28:34.000] Second place, Lou Ham.
[28:34.000 -> 28:35.000] Okay.
[28:35.000 -> 28:41.000] Yeah, I mean, he was unlucky last week and if anyone did actually think I was being serious by calling them out as cheats,
[28:41.000 -> 28:48.560] I obviously wasn't really saying that they're cheats and I want Mercedes to keep improving and I want Hamilton to get up there.
[28:48.560 -> 28:49.560] Nice, I like that.
[28:49.560 -> 28:50.960] So yeah, I'm very happy to put Hamilton second.
[28:50.960 -> 28:52.560] Very positive, very humble, humble stuff.
[28:52.560 -> 28:54.760] Yeah, Mercedes have had a tough time, really.
[28:54.760 -> 28:57.160] You've had a little bit of humble pie, haven't you? Is there some in the fridge?
[28:57.160 -> 28:59.760] Yeah, I've been, I've just been humbled recently.
[28:59.760 -> 29:04.360] You ordered from Creams last night and you ordered a slice of the humble pie with some humble custard.
[29:04.360 -> 29:06.400] Yeah, I'm humbled man, just chilling.
[29:06.400 -> 29:08.400] Good man, nice. Alright, in third place...
[29:08.400 -> 29:10.400] ...
[29:10.400 -> 29:12.400] I'm gonna go for...
[29:12.400 -> 29:14.400] Sergio Perez.
[29:14.400 -> 29:16.400] Yeah?
[29:16.400 -> 29:18.400] Sergio...
[29:18.400 -> 29:20.400] Tyson.
[29:20.400 -> 29:22.400] Mike Tyson.
[29:22.400 -> 29:24.400] He hears this, he's gonna come for me.
[29:24.400 -> 29:29.200] Third place, Max Verstappen. So we're going Perez, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen for me.
[29:29.200 -> 29:31.200] But I would love the McLarens to be there.
[29:31.200 -> 29:32.200] Yep.
[29:32.200 -> 29:33.200] We'll have to wait and see.
[29:33.200 -> 29:37.800] Yeah, I think the Astons are long gone, I can't really put Alonso in my...
[29:37.800 -> 29:40.200] We'll get Mikey on at the end of the year and we'll ask him what's happened.
[29:41.200 -> 29:42.800] Do you think he'll spill the beans though?
[29:42.800 -> 29:48.060] I don't... I think it's like also Aston Martin have just they've had a big step up
[29:48.060 -> 29:53.340] They're still stepping up quite a lot now. You thought maybe they ran before they could walk sort of thing
[29:53.340 -> 29:59.600] Well, I just think maybe they had a big big improvement at the beginning when I was in the basket in the beginning
[29:59.600 -> 30:04.880] It's still gonna take them a couple of years to like proper get out there with the new facility and everything
[30:04.880 -> 30:05.160] It's not just gonna happen overnight, but it's mean it's not been a couple of years to like proper get out there with the new facility and everything.
[30:05.160 -> 30:06.520] It's not just going to happen overnight,
[30:06.520 -> 30:08.320] but it's mean it's not been a bad year for Mastermind.
[30:08.320 -> 30:09.800] They'll be happy if there were rumors
[30:09.800 -> 30:12.680] that Lawrence is thinking of selling it off.
[30:12.680 -> 30:14.680] He was looking at selling money.
[30:14.680 -> 30:16.200] It's quite a lot of money though.
[30:16.200 -> 30:18.120] Maybe if all Pitstop listeners come together,
[30:18.120 -> 30:19.600] we could buy a team.
[30:19.600 -> 30:20.440] Who knows?
[30:20.440 -> 30:21.280] I don't reckon we could.
[30:21.280 -> 30:22.520] No, I don't reckon we could.
[30:22.520 -> 30:23.960] Even if everyone put in a lot of money,
[30:23.960 -> 30:27.080] maybe we can cut that bit.
[30:27.080 -> 30:32.500] So guys, thanks for listening to our Mexican city.
[30:32.500 -> 30:36.760] By the way, I do want to make it clear that it's actually the Mexico City Grand Prix.
[30:36.760 -> 30:37.960] It's not the Mexican Grand Prix.
[30:37.960 -> 30:40.000] I found this out from Matt and Tommy.
[30:40.000 -> 30:41.000] Okay.
[30:41.000 -> 30:44.680] Yeah, it's called the Mexico City Grand Prix.
[30:44.680 -> 30:46.620] It's a fantastic track.
[30:46.620 -> 30:49.700] It's just such a beautiful track.
[30:49.700 -> 30:51.040] It's a fantastic city.
[30:51.040 -> 30:54.060] We were there for the Formula E at the beginning of this year and what a place, man.
[30:54.060 -> 30:55.060] Yeah, I know.
[30:55.060 -> 30:57.260] I would love to be there, however, I'm still tired from Qatar.
[30:57.260 -> 31:01.120] Will Buxton's most favourite restaurant in the world is in Mexico.
[31:01.120 -> 31:02.120] Did he post that on Instagram?
[31:02.120 -> 31:03.120] He did.
[31:03.120 -> 31:07.980] Didn't he also announce that this is his 300th race or Yeah, did you see the pics? Yeah from the beginning?
[31:07.980 -> 31:12.920] Yeah, and obviously when he came on our pod the first time a lot of people who listen to us now probably didn't even listen
[31:12.920 -> 31:19.400] to that episode but he spoke all about how he got into F1 and working through all the different levels of journalism and
[31:19.920 -> 31:24.900] writing and reading and reporting and how it happened in the paddock that day he got his opportunity so
[31:24.900 -> 31:25.460] writing and reading and reporting and how it happened in the paddock that day he got his opportunity so
[31:30.500 -> 31:33.040] Yeah, pretty amazing that he's done that many races. Maybe we give a clap to Will Buxton for an incredible career He used to have a soul patch. Did you see that?
[31:33.040 -> 31:35.040] Well done Will! Well done!
[31:37.880 -> 31:39.640] What's a soul patch?
[31:39.640 -> 31:42.900] What's a soul patch? It used to be like it was like this just that bit of hair
[31:42.980 -> 31:45.560] Like just that bit but nothing else.
[31:45.560 -> 31:46.560] That's all he had.
[31:46.560 -> 31:47.560] That was badass back in the day.
[31:47.560 -> 31:48.560] That's pretty cool.
[31:48.560 -> 31:49.560] Yeah, it was really cool.
[31:49.560 -> 31:53.080] We did skip Will Buxton today because we didn't want to start a new thing on the F1 game,
[31:53.080 -> 31:54.440] so we just played our old one.
[31:54.440 -> 31:58.440] I wonder whether on an F1 23 whether he talks for about 10 minutes before each career.
[31:58.440 -> 32:01.440] God, I would lose my marbles.
[32:01.440 -> 32:04.680] I bet he's buzzing with it though.
[32:04.680 -> 32:06.120] He's buzzing with it, I bet. Did Crofty
[32:06.120 -> 32:09.440] do it? He must have yeah. Crofty, Natalie, they've all done it haven't they? Natalie
[32:09.440 -> 32:14.760] was in the new one. Yeah. Yeah. Oh well, there you go guys. There you go, the Mexican Grand
[32:14.760 -> 32:19.280] Prix. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. It's gonna be a good one. We'll be back on
[32:19.280 -> 32:26.000] Monday morning. No sprint. Oh no it wasn't. No sprint this weekend.
[32:26.000 -> 32:29.000] So just normal race format which is good because we'll probably be able to follow it a bit better.
[32:29.000 -> 32:31.000] Figure out everything going on.
[32:31.000 -> 32:33.000] Late session times again for the UK viewers.
[32:33.000 -> 32:39.000] Yep, we'll pick the podcast up before the race so you can have our pre-race thoughts after qualifying as well.
[32:39.000 -> 32:49.040] Actually it's not too late, we've got qualy at 10 and the race at 7 on Sunday so the the race isn't too late I expect it to be quite hot out there. Perfect dinner time actually be the perfect slight little scenario
[32:49.040 -> 32:55.240] Maybe we'll put this over out get a little duvet in just some snacks. Yeah, and God you're not a school way little milkshake
[32:55.240 -> 32:58.440] Yep. Yep. Thank God for your crows feet mate. You want to stop smiling?

[33:05.720 -> 33:06.540] Bloody hell.
