[01:01.400 -> 01:03.920] We are moments away from lights out.
[01:03.920 -> 01:05.920] The cars are just about to hit the formation lap.
[01:05.920 -> 01:12.200] Okay, this is our first race back since the summer break. What are you expecting into turn one Jake?
[01:12.200 -> 01:15.520] We've got Verstappen first, Norris second, Russell in third.
[01:15.520 -> 01:23.480] I'm very excited to see what the two young Englishmen can do against the Dutch two-time world champion Fabio Bocca.
[01:23.480 -> 01:24.720] The flying Dutchman.
[01:24.720 -> 01:26.760] I can't wait for this corner.
[01:26.760 -> 01:28.960] We know that Lando is gonna jump for it.
[01:28.960 -> 01:30.560] Today's episode is gonna be a great one
[01:30.560 -> 01:31.440] after the race as well,
[01:31.440 -> 01:34.720] because something special happened in Formula 2.
[01:34.720 -> 01:35.960] It very much did.
[01:35.960 -> 01:38.680] Formula 2 has been a whole roller coaster this weekend.
[01:38.680 -> 01:39.520] It really has.
[01:39.520 -> 01:42.240] And they said that they're spitting on the track right now,
[01:42.240 -> 01:48.600] so we could have rain for this Dutch Grand Prix. I was trying to figure out, so turn one is right, isn't it?
[01:48.600 -> 01:49.100] Yes.
[01:49.100 -> 01:51.900] So Verstappen starts on the left, I think, in first.
[01:51.900 -> 01:55.400] Norris on the right. Russell in third. I think Norris is safe.
[01:55.400 -> 01:58.900] We're going to take everyone through the first lap. Do you reckon Norris might lunge?
[01:58.900 -> 02:03.400] No. I reckon Max is going to get too much of a good start, mate. I know it.
[02:03.400 -> 02:08.800] I saw an interview with Lando actually before this race, in Zandvoort, talking about potentially
[02:08.800 -> 02:13.300] becoming Max's team mate, talking about the fact that he would step up to it.
[02:13.300 -> 02:20.320] We know that Lando and Max are friends, off the grid, but Lando given the chance in second
[02:20.320 -> 02:24.520] place, I'm sure he'll, I reckon he's going to lunge.
[02:24.520 -> 02:26.720] Liam Lawson, 19, do you reckon he might make a late lunge down the internet? I'm excited to see, I reckon he's gonna lunge. Yeah, Liam Lawson, 19th, reckon he might make a late lunge
[02:26.720 -> 02:27.560] down the inter...
[02:27.560 -> 02:29.640] I'm excited to see Liam on the grid, happy for him.
[02:29.640 -> 02:32.800] Does he do a Jake Boyes and brake late and jump about 15
[02:32.800 -> 02:34.120] cars, come up to P4?
[02:34.120 -> 02:36.880] I'd be impressed if Liam Lawson put, apparently he's won
[02:36.880 -> 02:39.520] on his debut in the last eight categories he's raced in.
[02:39.520 -> 02:40.360] Really?
[02:40.360 -> 02:42.160] That's a pretty unbelievable stat.
[02:42.160 -> 02:45.320] Well guys, you better strap on, strap in, and hold tight
[02:45.320 -> 02:46.680] because we're about to walk you through
[02:46.680 -> 02:49.680] the first lap of the Zandvoort Grand Prix.
[02:49.680 -> 02:53.580] As the final cars come round their formation lap
[02:53.580 -> 02:56.520] and join the grid, will Max Verstappen
[02:56.520 -> 02:59.720] get his ninth win in a row with Trance moving?
[02:59.720 -> 03:00.560] No!
[03:00.560 -> 03:01.400] He's blowing it!
[03:01.400 -> 03:02.960] He's blowing it across the track!
[03:02.960 -> 03:03.800] Just as light as well!
[03:03.800 -> 03:06.000] The McLaren team have worked so hard to get it!
[03:06.000 -> 03:08.000] But what can they do on the famous bank corners?
[03:08.000 -> 03:12.000] Can they silence the energetic orange wall?
[03:12.000 -> 03:15.000] We have a green flag! Here we go!
[03:15.000 -> 03:17.000] And it's lights out!
[03:17.000 -> 03:18.000] Go on Lando!
[03:18.000 -> 03:20.000] Max Verstappen with an absolutely beautiful start.
[03:20.000 -> 03:22.000] Lando comes over to block George.
[03:22.000 -> 03:24.000] A little bit of lock up going in the middle of the pack there.
[03:24.000 -> 03:25.000] There's a little bit of smoke! Oh my god that's tight back there! And we see Max is away already! A little bit of lock-up going in the middle of the pack there. There's a little bit of smoke!
[03:25.000 -> 03:27.000] Oh my god, that's tight back there.
[03:27.000 -> 03:29.000] And we see Max right out front!
[03:29.000 -> 03:31.000] Oh my god, Albon!
[03:31.000 -> 03:34.000] Albon is flying in the Williams this weekend.
[03:34.000 -> 03:36.000] Yeah, nice clean start to the race though, actually.
[03:36.000 -> 03:38.000] Oh, they took the wide line!
[03:38.000 -> 03:40.000] Alonso! Alonso up into third!
[03:40.000 -> 03:41.000] Go on, Alonso!
[03:41.000 -> 03:44.000] Let's go! He took the fucking short line, what a king!
[03:44.000 -> 03:45.680] He's got George right on his tail.
[03:45.680 -> 03:48.320] Oh, Max has already finished the race.
[03:48.320 -> 03:48.820] Yeah.
[03:48.820 -> 03:50.420] Well, this is beautiful.
[03:50.420 -> 03:53.060] Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be back after.
[03:53.060 -> 03:55.540] And there's the Ferrari, mate, we're out the outside of the Williams!
[03:55.540 -> 03:56.580] Go on, Albin!
[03:58.580 -> 04:14.200] Alright guys, see you in a bit. Ladies and gentlemen we are back, it is currently lap 65 of 72, we are on the red flag.
[04:14.200 -> 04:18.240] Now Fab is flying to Portugal tonight and I'm going down south to see my family.
[04:18.240 -> 04:23.280] So we're going to take the opportunity to start the after race podcast now.
[04:23.280 -> 04:26.960] Fab has made a load of notes But there is something currently on the screen
[04:26.960 -> 04:29.920] That I feel like would be quite fun to do whilst we wait
[04:29.920 -> 04:33.600] Race Control have announced that the race is going to restart
[04:33.600 -> 04:36.720] And they've announced the order by car numbers
[04:36.720 -> 04:38.640] But there's nothing else on the screen currently
[04:38.640 -> 04:40.320] So Max is number one
[04:40.320 -> 04:42.560] Who's car 14?
[04:42.560 -> 04:44.960] Car 14?
[04:44.960 -> 04:50.320] Yep one. Who's car 14? Car 14? Yep. You can't go that brain dead, you've just gone crazy
[04:50.320 -> 04:58.360] about the fact he's currently second. Alonso? Yeah, Alonso. 11? Checo? Is Checo 11? Yeah.
[04:58.360 -> 05:07.640] Checo is 11. 10? 10? Car 10. Gasly? Yep, 55! Mate, this is the time stream they just finished on, like, about 3 seconds ago.
[05:07.640 -> 05:11.120] Yeah, but I wasn't sure whether Perez would start third, because he went into the pit
[05:11.120 -> 05:12.120] 6th.
[05:12.120 -> 05:13.120] So where's he starting?
[05:13.120 -> 05:14.120] He's starting third.
[05:14.120 -> 05:16.480] He is starting third, but they pulled him in on that red flag.
[05:16.480 -> 05:18.160] Why is he starting third?
[05:18.160 -> 05:22.160] Well, they do it back a lap, or something like that.
[05:22.160 -> 05:23.160] Before he pitted?
[05:23.160 -> 05:24.160] I don't actually know.
[05:24.160 -> 05:25.100] I haven't got a fucking clue.
[05:25.100 -> 05:28.420] What I do know is that we have something to celebrate
[05:28.420 -> 05:31.300] because fuck the Formula One for a minute,
[05:31.300 -> 05:34.740] Clement Novolak won the F2 feature race.
[05:34.740 -> 05:38.060] Clement Novolak, that is absolutely incredible.
[05:38.060 -> 05:38.900] That's mega.
[05:38.900 -> 05:41.260] I wasn't up in time to catch the very first bit of the race
[05:41.260 -> 05:42.740] where there was a crash, but what do you say?
[05:42.740 -> 05:43.580] He led for like 30 laps.
[05:43.580 -> 05:44.580] It was a crazy race.
[05:44.580 -> 05:47.820] There was loads of crashes, loads of of spin out the car lost both its
[05:47.820 -> 05:53.820] tires but yeah Clem did lead for 30 laps the boy wins a Formula 2 race! He's
[05:53.820 -> 05:58.980] finally done it! Big celebration due coming up! That is gonna be a big
[05:58.980 -> 06:02.740] party that makes me excited for Monza. Shame about Oli Berman. Big shame about
[06:02.740 -> 06:09.660] Oli Berman he needs another year in2. He's just not quite ready yet. So many things have
[06:09.660 -> 06:12.360] happened to him this year that haven't been his fault but you can see he's got
[06:12.360 -> 06:16.980] so much speed. So I'm buzzing for Oli. But yeah next weekend in Monza is
[06:16.980 -> 06:20.640] gonna be a massive one. We've got Gabriel needs one point, Clem coming off
[06:20.640 -> 06:26.880] the back of a win. What can he do? What can he do? Imagine a Clem at Novlak, storm now, win, win, win.
[06:27.720 -> 06:30.480] Maybe different team, you know?
[06:30.480 -> 06:31.760] Not saying that Trident are bad,
[06:31.760 -> 06:34.400] but maybe even like a bit more competitive car.
[06:34.400 -> 06:35.240] They've all got it in them, mate.
[06:35.240 -> 06:36.360] They've all got it in them to do it.
[06:36.360 -> 06:38.720] So yeah, it could be really, really exciting.
[06:38.720 -> 06:40.480] You've made some notes for today's episode.
[06:40.480 -> 06:41.320] I saw you taking them.
[06:41.320 -> 06:42.800] On my first one,
[06:42.800 -> 06:50.480] did anyone else spot Adrian Newey, the the cheeky man at the beginning of the race standing right behind the
[06:50.480 -> 06:53.520] Williams car on the grid taking as many notes as he can
[06:53.520 -> 06:59.160] oh they've been nice and quick the Williams just hit the barrier coming
[06:59.160 -> 07:02.440] into the pit who was that there's a replay of Perez was that Max or Perez
[07:02.440 -> 07:05.200] ah just watching these replays of
[07:05.200 -> 07:09.960] Red Bull's pits and everything that they have been so oiled moving on to quali
[07:09.960 -> 07:15.160] Crofty and Caroon are saying they still don't know why DRS is used in quali and
[07:15.160 -> 07:19.200] neither do I mate I don't I still don't fully understand it I reckon next year
[07:19.200 -> 07:22.400] they need to get rid of that shit because it's just not fair it would make
[07:22.400 -> 07:28.120] it so much better I reckon I think it would only really bring Red Bull back a tiny bit I think
[07:28.120 -> 07:32.160] I think quite a lot mate because when you're looking at the qualifying times and Max is
[07:32.160 -> 07:36.880] getting like half a second in front or whoever's in second but you know it's only half a second
[07:36.880 -> 07:38.860] their DRS gives a lot of extra speed
[07:38.860 -> 07:43.640] It does make sense they could definitely take Quali out and take DRS out in Quali I mean
[07:43.640 -> 07:47.560] as long as it's fair across the board at the end of the day is who can set the fastest lap
[07:47.560 -> 07:50.820] I suppose it would be more fair because it wouldn't matter on track position as much
[07:50.920 -> 07:51.420] Yeah
[07:51.420 -> 07:55.980] I don't know why Adrian Newey's trying to take notes of Williams's wing mate when their wings fucking perfectly fine
[07:55.980 -> 08:00.780] Probably because Red Bull are trying to evolve but as other teams are evolving as well
[08:00.900 -> 08:05.040] They probably want to copy like little things see what they do and Williams have been mad quick
[08:05.040 -> 08:06.480] Williams have definitely evolved mate
[08:06.480 -> 08:08.340] because Sargent made it into Q3 for the
[08:08.340 -> 08:10.680] first time in his F1 career and he has
[08:10.680 -> 08:12.320] currently DNF'd this race because he went
[08:12.320 -> 08:14.280] out into the wall I do want to say as
[08:14.280 -> 08:16.240] well look at the screener Liam Lawson I
[08:16.240 -> 08:18.520] put Daniel Ricciardo as my wild card
[08:18.520 -> 08:21.200] the great pick I said he was going to
[08:21.200 -> 08:24.720] come eighth okay well sadly Daniel
[08:24.720 -> 08:25.920] Ricciardo has broken his hand
[08:25.920 -> 08:31.160] However, Daniel Ricciardo Oscar piastri both interviewed by Matt from p1. Mm-hmm
[08:31.160 -> 08:33.840] Both of them fucked it in was it in practice or in quali?
[08:35.480 -> 08:39.000] Both of them crashed. Okay, so it's the Matt curse
[08:39.520 -> 08:42.080] Matt Gallagher curse we thought it was a piss stop curse
[08:42.080 -> 08:46.400] I know but Matt seems to think that he's cursed himself because it's happened to him before other stuff
[08:46.400 -> 08:49.240] that he people he's talking to then they've gone and crashed well Matt when
[08:49.240 -> 08:56.800] you get max on conditions have been all over the place this weekend it's been on
[08:56.800 -> 09:01.240] and off raining all weekend so sergeant did make it into q3 but then he smashed
[09:01.240 -> 09:06.180] into a wall at 110 mile an hour in Q3 and it was a
[09:06.180 -> 09:11.820] bad crash right because now I've heard about this it's been spoken about two
[09:11.820 -> 09:16.080] different types of barriers on the circuit okay you get an arm co barrier
[09:16.080 -> 09:21.780] and you get a tech pro barrier I have no idea what that means now an arm co
[09:21.780 -> 09:27.980] barrier is that thing there you see on screen right there just a straight old metal barrier. Okay. So you know you're driving down the
[09:27.980 -> 09:32.720] motorway what do you see on the other side? A barrier yeah. It just says metal barriers. Armco barrier is just your
[09:32.720 -> 09:39.080] standard I guess steel barrier. Yeah. Tech Pro barrier is are those plastic ones.
[09:39.080 -> 09:44.300] Yeah the ones that like absorb you a little bit. Polyethylene that's what
[09:44.300 -> 09:45.120] they're made from.
[09:45.120 -> 09:46.720] Ah, polyethylene!
[09:46.720 -> 09:48.640] And they're hollow inside,
[09:48.640 -> 09:50.360] kinda connected by blocks,
[09:50.360 -> 09:52.720] connected together by double nylon straps.
[09:52.720 -> 09:53.560] Okay.
[09:53.560 -> 09:56.080] So, basically they're a lot safer,
[09:56.080 -> 09:58.480] but I thought, can you imagine going 110 mile an hour
[09:58.480 -> 09:59.800] into one of those metal barriers?
[09:59.800 -> 10:04.280] Oh mate, just watching the cars currently aquaplane,
[10:04.280 -> 10:09.780] where they completely lose control, knowing you're going into a barrier would be how do
[10:09.780 -> 10:14.760] they decide which barrier goes where I guess they put the the tech pro ones on
[10:14.760 -> 10:18.240] the corners yeah the ones you're on about usually on the straights but it
[10:18.240 -> 10:23.320] reminds me back to when Fernando Alonso last year did that wheelie that was up a
[10:23.320 -> 10:28.360] straight that would have been up against the metal barrier well mate it it reminds me of Roman Grosjean. Yeah going straight
[10:28.360 -> 10:31.240] through middle of it. Getting caught in the middle of it so that's horrendous
[10:31.240 -> 10:33.920] funny what you were talking about when you were saying about crashing though
[10:33.920 -> 10:39.440] because where was it was it Sargent no it was Grand New Joe crashed into the
[10:39.440 -> 10:44.000] barrier full speed mm-hmm like you said aquaplaning just straight head first into a
[10:44.000 -> 10:49.800] barrier and the first thing that I see that he does, literally within half a second of crashing into that
[10:49.800 -> 10:56.320] barrier is press a button on his steering wheel. And I just found that so funny that
[10:56.320 -> 11:00.820] with all this training, that these drivers would just have a fucking head on collision
[11:00.820 -> 11:04.560] into a barrier at 5 million miles an hour, and they're pressing a button on the steering
[11:04.560 -> 11:07.000] wheel. It's pretty radio then. I'd be screaming, I'd be jumping out
[11:07.000 -> 11:10.860] that car straight away, get me the hell out of it. He probably has to radio in and say he's
[11:10.860 -> 11:14.200] okay straight away if he is there, that's probably what he was doing. So it looks
[11:14.200 -> 11:17.200] awful when the water gets under them tires, even when I drive down the
[11:17.200 -> 11:22.040] motorway in the pouring rain, that little second of aquaplaning you get
[11:22.040 -> 11:28.640] and you're a lot safer in a road car on the motorway, but even that little second can be petrifying sometimes.
[11:28.640 -> 11:30.600] But imagine that, 100 miles an hour,
[11:30.600 -> 11:32.320] and you see the wall in front of you,
[11:32.320 -> 11:34.520] and you're just sliding, sliding, sliding.
[11:34.520 -> 11:37.360] When I was, when I first passed my driving test
[11:37.360 -> 11:40.340] within the first four or five months of driving,
[11:40.340 -> 11:42.200] I was driving back from my dad's,
[11:42.200 -> 11:44.960] back from his place to Helsham, down the country roads,
[11:44.960 -> 11:45.440] and it right
[11:45.440 -> 11:47.720] So it had been raining, but it stopped
[11:48.040 -> 11:51.640] However, I should have been on four wets because they were standing water on the road, right?
[11:51.640 -> 11:55.080] And I'm driving down the road haven't got my wind wipers on because it's not raining
[11:55.240 -> 11:58.200] But a massive lorry is driving towards me
[11:58.200 -> 12:04.280] It's driven through the puddle in the road and for about a second. I've just had water dashed on the windscreen
[12:04.280 -> 12:05.200] You can't see anything can you?
[12:05.200 -> 12:07.440] Could not see anything mate.
[12:07.440 -> 12:08.760] And I'm waiting for my,
[12:08.760 -> 12:11.040] cause my wipers are on auto.
[12:11.040 -> 12:12.520] So they eventually come on and wipe it.
[12:12.520 -> 12:15.480] But I had a good second of pure blind
[12:15.480 -> 12:18.560] at about 50 mile an hour.
[12:18.560 -> 12:19.380] 25.
[12:19.380 -> 12:20.480] Down the country roads.
[12:20.480 -> 12:21.520] I thought I was going to lose it.
[12:21.520 -> 12:22.760] That's happened to me before.
[12:22.760 -> 12:23.760] I kissed the grass.
[12:24.760 -> 12:29.440] Good man, nice. Kissing the grass. It wasn't that nice, I nearly crashed. Yeah but that's
[12:29.440 -> 12:34.960] not nice. George Russell did an amazing save, it's interesting to watch them in the wet
[12:34.960 -> 12:40.140] when they lose a back tyre, they have to keep pulling the car around. To be fair, this has
[12:40.140 -> 12:44.300] been a very eventful race, it's just mad that there's so much change in the whole order
[12:44.300 -> 12:46.200] but Max is still so far out front. This has been the correct raceful race, it's just mad that there's so much change in the whole order but Max is still so far out front.
[12:46.200 -> 12:49.120] This has been the correct race to come back on.
[12:49.120 -> 12:53.600] We needed some excitement, it's been up and down the whole weekend like I said.
[12:53.600 -> 12:57.280] We still don't even know how it's going to finish, there's technically still 7 laps remaining,
[12:57.280 -> 13:01.080] they're going to have to start again, wet track, who knows who's going to be on which
[13:01.080 -> 13:02.080] tyres.
[13:02.080 -> 13:05.440] There's been all sorts of deliberation going on mate
[13:05.440 -> 13:07.720] and different strategies between different teams
[13:07.720 -> 13:09.120] and different drivers.
[13:09.120 -> 13:12.200] So we had Checo leading the race.
[13:12.200 -> 13:14.320] Oh yeah, we need to talk about that.
[13:14.320 -> 13:16.520] And what happened was Max was in second.
[13:16.520 -> 13:21.520] They pitted Max from Inter's to Soft's before Checo.
[13:21.760 -> 13:24.400] Now, written down here I've got usually
[13:24.400 -> 13:28.760] they give the preference to the race leader. So really they should have said to Checo. Now written down here I've got usually they give the preference to the race leader so really they should have said to Checo do you
[13:28.760 -> 13:33.440] want us to box you before Max or after Max and this went on for a few
[13:33.440 -> 13:37.120] laps no one actually knew until we had the communication back but no mate it
[13:37.120 -> 13:41.720] turns out Checo radioed in and said did Max undercut us and they said yeah so we
[13:41.720 -> 13:49.680] had no idea and then yeah confirmed Max didn't even ask for it. No it was a team decision. The team decided to pit Max first. It's his home
[13:49.680 -> 13:55.040] race. I don't care. He's been favoured. He's gonna catch Sheko anyway. He's been
[13:55.040 -> 13:59.160] favoured the whole time. I know it's his home race but there's certain things you
[13:59.160 -> 14:03.880] do mate and that's just. I think if it was Mexico they'd do it for Sheko. Oh I
[14:03.880 -> 14:05.040] don't reckon they would
[14:05.040 -> 14:08.640] that's actually a good question do you think they would we got Mexico coming up
[14:08.640 -> 14:13.600] so we will be able to see yeah Checo has to win Mexico no I think I did think
[14:13.600 -> 14:17.800] that as well that was a bit sure there's Michael on TV hello Michael I don't think it was a bit
[14:17.800 -> 14:18.600] Oh Michael!
[14:18.600 -> 14:19.800] MACK WEBER!
[14:19.800 -> 14:22.300] Who the fuck's that behind him? It's Machine Gun Kelly!
[14:22.300 -> 14:23.100] Is it really?
[14:23.100 -> 14:24.600] Nah, I don't know who that is
[14:24.600 -> 14:25.080] Oh that's um Anne Hathaway Yuki's been putting Is it really? Nah, I don't know who that is.
[14:25.080 -> 14:26.840] Oh, that's Anne Hathaway.
[14:26.840 -> 14:28.720] Yuki's been putting in, it's a shame about Yuki,
[14:28.720 -> 14:29.600] they should have pitted him early,
[14:29.600 -> 14:31.360] but he's been putting in some class overtakes.
[14:31.360 -> 14:33.120] However, I've got to say, mate.
[14:33.120 -> 14:33.960] You're going to go to Oscar, aren't you?
[14:33.960 -> 14:35.680] I've got to blow smoke up his ass again.
[14:35.680 -> 14:36.680] Oscar Piastri.
[14:36.680 -> 14:37.520] I know.
[14:37.520 -> 14:39.800] Some of the overtakes that guy's been doing,
[14:39.800 -> 14:41.400] and the thing is, he hasn't even been doing them
[14:41.400 -> 14:43.880] on like down the main straight before turn one.
[14:43.880 -> 14:45.200] He's been going haywire.
[14:45.200 -> 14:47.760] He's been f***ing taking everyone wherever he wants.
[14:47.760 -> 14:49.280] For a rookie, mate. Incredible.
[14:49.280 -> 14:50.240] All over the table.
[14:50.240 -> 14:54.000] Fernando Alonso started this race with the move right at the beginning. You loved it.
[14:54.000 -> 14:55.200] It's double overtake.
[14:55.200 -> 14:56.240] Bah!
[14:56.240 -> 14:58.560] Fernando Alonso's double overtake was a,
[14:58.560 -> 14:59.760] Hello everyone, I'm here.
[14:59.760 -> 15:04.320] Alonso taking multiple cars on the inside at the first bank corner.
[15:04.320 -> 15:08.800] The race is going to restart with him in second. and Alonso podium is just what we need right
[15:08.800 -> 15:09.800] now.
[15:09.800 -> 15:13.720] He's just the king mate, he's just the absolute best and I heard him talking on TV earlier
[15:13.720 -> 15:18.400] they were saying how even between races he still goes back to his karting track in Spain
[15:18.400 -> 15:19.880] and still goes flying around.
[15:19.880 -> 15:20.880] I love that.
[15:20.880 -> 15:24.720] He still loves karting, I think he even said like he'll never stop karting, even when he
[15:24.720 -> 15:25.480] gives up F1 he'll just be karting. Even when he gives up F1,
[15:25.480 -> 15:27.400] he'll just be karting the rest of his life.
[15:27.400 -> 15:29.920] It was, it is a shame for Mercedes this race.
[15:29.920 -> 15:32.480] Sorry, McLaren this race, and Mercedes,
[15:32.480 -> 15:33.720] but it's gonna restart.
[15:33.720 -> 15:36.000] Mate, it does mean as well, just to go back to Alonso,
[15:36.000 -> 15:38.720] that if he carries on karting until he's like 80,
[15:38.720 -> 15:40.160] then there is a chance that maybe
[15:40.160 -> 15:41.520] we will be able to beat him one day.
[15:41.520 -> 15:42.440] He could potentially.
[15:42.440 -> 15:44.000] Then we're not gonna stay 27, are we?
[15:44.000 -> 15:48.440] We're gonna be like 40. I wonder how old the world's oldest karting champion is?
[15:48.880 -> 15:55.640] That's a good question. Someone he could become the world's, well probably older than Alonso, right? Well, we've seen Johnny Herbert on our sim
[15:56.440 -> 15:59.560] He's currently third from bottom now. Michael saved him
[16:01.000 -> 16:04.660] But yeah, I don't know. I think if you've been out of it for a while. It feels good not being bottom anymore.
[16:04.660 -> 16:07.140] It feels good being top of the go-kart one, you know. I think if you've been out of it for a while. It feels good not being a board anymore. And it feels good being on top of the go-kart one,
[16:07.140 -> 16:07.980] you know?
[16:07.980 -> 16:09.580] I'm still moving slowly down.
[16:09.580 -> 16:11.340] There was a point where I was in the middle of the board.
[16:11.340 -> 16:12.900] Well, there was a point when you and me were second and
[16:12.900 -> 16:13.740] third.
[16:13.740 -> 16:15.440] I've got a question for you, Fab.
[16:15.440 -> 16:16.280] Oh yeah?
[16:16.280 -> 16:17.100] Yeah, I've got a question for you.
[16:17.100 -> 16:18.140] What's the question?
[16:18.140 -> 16:22.380] How do these F1 teams that have every resource in the world
[16:22.380 -> 16:24.860] not realize that there's rain coming on lap one?
[16:26.080 -> 16:28.000] How did every car on the grid go with softs
[16:28.000 -> 16:30.440] other than one driver when there was rain coming?
[16:31.720 -> 16:33.160] Because maybe they thought the rain was gonna come
[16:33.160 -> 16:35.080] after a few laps, like four or five.
[16:35.080 -> 16:35.920] Do you think?
[16:35.920 -> 16:37.920] Still quicker to start on softs and then change.
[16:37.920 -> 16:39.160] For sure, you reckon that's it,
[16:39.160 -> 16:40.560] you start on softs and change.
[16:40.560 -> 16:41.400] I guess so, yeah,
[16:41.400 -> 16:43.160] because you never truly know.
[16:43.160 -> 17:05.760] I mean, when do you ever read the weather and it says it's on? Yeah, you never really do know, do you? It's funny, because you said a few pods ago The I know one team do, because that's how we got told it, but I don't know whether we should, by name, say who.
[17:05.760 -> 17:08.120] I don't know who that was.

[18:35.720 -> 18:36.560] Oh.
[18:36.560 -> 18:37.380] Yeah.
[18:37.380 -> 18:38.220] But who told us that?
[18:38.220 -> 18:39.060] We learned at their factory.
[18:39.060 -> 18:39.880] Oh, did we?
[18:39.880 -> 18:40.720] Yeah.
[18:40.720 -> 18:41.560] To be fair, we're saying it.
[18:41.560 -> 18:42.760] We might as well just say whatever it is now.
[18:42.760 -> 18:44.160] But I was thinking,
[18:44.160 -> 18:48.400] rain has affected like so many races this year.
[18:48.400 -> 18:50.740] I feel like it hasn't even been like,
[18:50.740 -> 18:52.240] I don't know, maybe this happens every year,
[18:52.240 -> 18:54.240] but it wasn't as much like this last year.
[18:54.240 -> 18:56.320] I remember Monaco was really bad.
[18:56.320 -> 19:00.360] But is there anything they could do to counteract the rain?
[19:00.360 -> 19:05.000] Like, could they have f1 races undercover?
[19:06.000 -> 19:08.000] Well they're gonna have the wheel guards aren't they?
[19:08.000 -> 19:11.000] Okay but they're still gonna get water on the track
[19:11.000 -> 19:13.000] Yeah but they should be able to still drive
[19:13.000 -> 19:15.000] Could they put a roof on the track?
[19:15.000 -> 19:17.000] That's a lot of roof mate
[19:17.000 -> 19:20.000] Like Simpsons put them in a big dome?
[19:20.000 -> 19:22.000] Put them underground
[19:22.000 -> 19:23.000] Okay
[19:23.000 -> 19:26.240] A really awesome track would be it comes out of the
[19:26.240 -> 19:30.320] ground for a small section, comes around the top and then down into a tunnel. Most like
[19:30.320 -> 19:35.720] 78% of the race is underground. Or a big stadium with a roof? Yeah, like Tottenham. Yeah, like
[19:35.720 -> 19:39.440] Tottenham. I guess the F1 track's a lot bigger though, isn't it? So how would you get a roof
[19:39.440 -> 19:47.020] over the whole thing? True, but then again, I spoke to Matt someone drove a car someone drove an f1 car around Buckmore Park
[19:47.020 -> 19:49.820] car in track for those of you who are
[19:49.820 -> 19:51.460] from the UK I don't know but more Park
[19:51.460 -> 19:52.960] it's like the one of the leading car in
[19:52.960 -> 19:55.120] tracks in the UK but it's a car in track
[19:55.120 -> 19:57.220] me and Jake have driven around it how
[19:57.220 -> 19:59.180] on earth you get an F1 car around that?
[19:59.180 -> 19:59.940] Was it an old F1 car?
[19:59.940 -> 20:01.860] Yeah so it would have just been going slow
[20:01.860 -> 20:06.820] anyway but yeah I'm not well I'm not sure what they can do about the rain. I
[20:06.860 -> 20:09.320] We saw Okon do a lap on the full wets
[20:09.320 -> 20:14.500] I'm still yet to see as an f1 fan what these full wets are actually for I mean
[20:14.500 -> 20:18.620] I guess when there's standing water, but it doesn't look like they let them race and stand in water anymore
[20:18.620 -> 20:22.260] So mate, I'm really confused now because if they don't restart the race
[20:22.740 -> 20:25.520] Then does it is Gasly in third?
[20:25.520 -> 20:31.220] well that's it the start of the world challenge. Gasly's gotta get a podium mate. I would love Gasly to get a podium here I think they
[20:31.220 -> 20:34.640] have to read they said they've got time compared to a lot of tracks they've got
[20:34.640 -> 20:39.600] time like I think to wait this out but at the moment we're currently watching
[20:39.600 -> 20:44.240] everyone standing there in their ponchos and the hundred thousand fans there
[20:44.240 -> 20:50.480] probably 90,000 maximum staff in there. These people are people are dedicated. Yeah we remember from Amsterdam last year how amazing were the fans.
[20:50.480 -> 20:54.880] Did it rain when we were there? No it was blissful weather. I was so sunburned wasn't I?
[20:54.880 -> 20:59.440] Then did it not rain at all? I swear it rained a little bit. I remember we were walking over
[20:59.440 -> 21:03.840] from the station there's all them people having house parties and like they look like open walking
[21:03.840 -> 21:05.760] Max Verstappen parties bonkers
[21:05.760 -> 21:09.200] Yeah, just someone's front garden the Dutch are crazy
[21:09.200 -> 21:13.600] If anyone is ever wondering which race to go to I would suggest the Dutch Grand Prix because it's not yeah
[21:13.600 -> 21:15.660] There was a live music is coming out the station
[21:15.660 -> 21:20.700] I was it was insane big mistake from Ferrari on Charlotte Claire wasn't there?
[21:20.900 -> 21:22.980] May that's a big mistake
[21:22.980 -> 21:25.160] But then apparently it was Leclerc's fault
[21:25.160 -> 21:29.280] because he entered the pit lane and then when he was on the pit lane line
[21:29.280 -> 21:33.520] was radioing saying I want inters but my team had told him to stay out. This whole
[21:33.520 -> 21:39.280] fiasco has come in stages at first it was a shock like yeah first it was a
[21:39.280 -> 21:44.320] shock. Ferrari are messing things up then it was like funny it was like
[21:44.320 -> 21:46.320] Ferrari are just carrying on this shit.
[21:46.320 -> 21:47.920] They really can't hold it together.
[21:47.920 -> 21:50.760] And now it's like, guys, the joke's not even funny anymore.
[21:50.760 -> 21:54.160] Why don't you just carry on doing what every other team
[21:54.160 -> 21:55.260] does and stop fucking it up?
[21:55.260 -> 21:57.560] But yeah, like you say, it was probably Leclerc's fault.
[21:57.560 -> 21:59.320] That one was Leclerc's fault, I think.
[21:59.320 -> 22:01.880] Yeah, he ended up getting damage to the floor of the car
[22:01.880 -> 22:02.720] and he's out of the race.
[22:02.720 -> 22:03.920] But then Crofty made a good point.
[22:03.920 -> 22:06.340] He was like, the team can see it's raining.
[22:06.340 -> 22:07.960] Why are they not prepped with the inners?
[22:07.960 -> 22:09.960] Like they know he's going to come in anyway,
[22:09.960 -> 22:11.080] whether it's this lap or not.
[22:11.080 -> 22:12.760] Surely they should just get them out.
[22:12.760 -> 22:16.200] But then Bernie said that they obviously can't take
[22:16.200 -> 22:20.840] the blankets out to the grid, which is quite,
[22:20.840 -> 22:22.520] sorry, the pit, which was quite interesting.
[22:22.520 -> 22:25.300] Cause obviously, yeah, they keep them in the blankets.
[22:25.300 -> 22:28.340] So, the timing-wise, if Leclerc's not going to let them know
[22:28.340 -> 22:29.840] till he's at the line, then,
[22:29.840 -> 22:30.680] probably not ideal.
[22:30.680 -> 22:31.500] You've got to think, it might seem like
[22:31.500 -> 22:32.340] there's quite a long time,
[22:32.340 -> 22:34.140] but then when you think that a lap is like, what,
[22:34.140 -> 22:35.700] one minute 15, that they're doing,
[22:35.700 -> 22:36.980] so that's what, so essentially,
[22:36.980 -> 22:41.180] you have one minute from person going around turn one
[22:41.180 -> 22:42.980] to figure out, are we going to do this?
[22:42.980 -> 22:45.040] That actually isn't a lot of time.
[22:45.040 -> 22:48.040] You've seen it in quali and this race more than I've seen
[22:48.040 -> 22:51.700] at anywhere else so far, like the importance of being out
[22:51.700 -> 22:54.760] on a certain lap and doing things at the right time.
[22:54.760 -> 22:58.200] Like, cause to be honest, literally lap one
[22:58.200 -> 23:01.440] Lando's gone from front row to bottom half of the grid,
[23:01.440 -> 23:02.800] which is not ideal.
[23:02.800 -> 23:04.960] And then in qualifying, you saw Albon out there
[23:04.960 -> 23:06.980] getting the right laps at the right time
[23:06.980 -> 23:12.420] yeah Oh Michael and Yuki having a little wander off, wonder if they're about to go and play games on the iPad
[23:12.420 -> 23:19.760] well we are red flag guys it is lap 65 the race is meant to restart so we're
[23:19.760 -> 23:22.800] gonna see what happens and I guess we'll probably tune back in for the last bit
[23:22.800 -> 23:25.920] of the race yeah we will tune back in for the last bit of the race we Yeah we will tune back in for the last bit of the race. We've got a
[23:25.920 -> 23:29.180] lovely weekend ahead of us actually no I should make the most of this time with
[23:29.180 -> 23:32.720] you this is really special time. Yeah because I'm gonna be gone mate. You're
[23:32.720 -> 23:39.260] going for 10 days. 10 days. 10 days away from you mate. Of sunshine and a relaxation. Guys
[23:39.260 -> 23:44.000] forever forever for anyone forever for anyone for anyone who's been listening
[23:44.000 -> 23:46.680] you know I haven't been on holiday since I was 18 apart from one ski trip
[23:46.680 -> 23:51.400] Mmm one ski trip in ten years nearly and now he's going to Portugal for ten days
[23:51.520 -> 23:55.600] Which means the next podcast we do is gonna be virtual and I can't wait
[23:56.160 -> 24:01.480] Just to see how it comes out got the camera with me got the mic packed away. We should yeah, we'll film it properly and
[24:01.480 -> 24:02.400] we'll
[24:02.400 -> 24:08.320] That's actually gonna be class. Yeah, maybe you could tune in to me, we could do what Dre from Virgin Magazine does and it's
[24:08.320 -> 24:12.000] like, we're going over to Fab now, he's going to give you the lowdown about the Monza GP.
[24:12.000 -> 24:14.760] Hi guys, I'm just here on a beach.
[24:14.760 -> 24:15.760] Your mission is to do it.
[24:15.760 -> 24:17.000] It's looking like Max is going to win.
[24:17.000 -> 24:21.160] You have to do the pod in the most ridiculous place, I want you to go and set it up in the
[24:21.160 -> 24:22.480] middle of a church or something.
[24:22.480 -> 24:26.000] You can take kayaks and go into these caves in the sea, so maybe if I bring all the equipment I'll set it up like in the middle of a church or something. You can take kayaks and go into like these caves in the sea.
[24:26.000 -> 24:27.520] So maybe if I bring all the equipment,
[24:27.520 -> 24:28.640] I'll set up on the kayak.
[24:28.640 -> 24:30.480] Would you trust the camera on a tripod on a kayak?
[24:30.480 -> 24:31.600] Absolutely not.
[24:31.600 -> 24:33.480] I'm still paying off that son of a bitch.
[24:33.480 -> 24:36.080] You wouldn't want to trust that out there.
[24:36.080 -> 24:38.480] But no, yeah, you got a big holiday coming up.
[24:38.480 -> 24:40.180] That's going to be sad for me.
[24:41.040 -> 24:42.560] But it's not all about me, is it?
[24:42.560 -> 24:43.400] It's all right, mate.
[24:43.400 -> 24:44.240] I'm sure you'll get over it.
[24:44.240 -> 24:45.760] It's only 10 days yeah I suppose
[24:45.760 -> 24:48.760] guys, see you in a bit
[24:48.760 -> 24:54.760] and there we go, 72 laps around the Nordschleife circuit, it's not as it is Zandvoort
[24:54.760 -> 24:57.760] but there we have it, the Dutch Grand Prix is a wrap, my friend
[24:57.760 -> 25:02.760] and Fernando Alonso has done it, back on the podium, second position
[25:02.760 -> 25:06.240] and Pierre Gasly third third thanks to thanks to
[25:06.240 -> 25:12.440] Perez's time penalty well deserved i think Perez was due that penalty really what did
[25:12.440 -> 25:17.600] he do to you well he's sped in the pit lane mate yeah speeding in the well Liam Lawson
[25:17.600 -> 25:26.080] impeded in the pit lane had a 10 second time penalty and look at that he's finished 13th. That is a remarkable first
[25:26.080 -> 25:30.320] drive in F1. Like you said, do you remember when Nick de Vries got out the
[25:30.320 -> 25:34.440] car after stepping in and he was in absolute agony? We saw the pain mate, we
[25:34.440 -> 25:38.840] saw the pain he was in. Imagine how Liam will be feeling after that to finish 13th.
[25:38.840 -> 25:42.800] He's finished ahead of Tsunoda, his teammate, he's just stepped into that car
[25:42.800 -> 25:49.000] he's been thrown every weather condition. is an impressive drive so what happens with Lawson now he'll be
[25:49.000 -> 25:53.320] here for Monza he'll probably race until when do you reckon Ricciardo will be back
[25:53.320 -> 25:57.720] Singapore roughly yeah I reckon he'll do Monza and that's it but the fact that
[25:57.720 -> 26:02.520] he's got two races to prove himself also stepping in that last minute mate mmm
[26:02.520 -> 26:06.000] like he must have been on site right right? Yeah, yeah, I would assume so.
[26:06.000 -> 26:07.000] Good thing he was there.
[26:07.000 -> 26:09.000] Yeah, it's exactly like Nick De Vries, isn't it?
[26:09.000 -> 26:11.000] You prove yourself, you can do it in an F1 car.
[26:11.000 -> 26:13.000] There'll be teams looking at that, like...
[26:13.000 -> 26:15.000] Driver of the day, Fernando Alonso.
[26:15.000 -> 26:16.000] Well deserved.
[26:16.000 -> 26:19.000] It was between him and Piastri for me.
[26:19.000 -> 26:22.000] And Gasly. I think Gasly had a really solid race.
[26:22.000 -> 26:24.000] And Gasser as well. A lot of drivers had a great race.
[26:24.000 -> 26:26.320] Like, Albon had a great race, P8.
[26:26.320 -> 26:28.120] Eight is great points for Williams.
[26:28.120 -> 26:28.960] That's really good,
[26:28.960 -> 26:30.560] it's a shame about Russell at the end there.
[26:30.560 -> 26:31.400] I know.
[26:31.400 -> 26:32.240] He was ready for it.
[26:32.240 -> 26:34.080] Did a great move on Norris and then,
[26:34.080 -> 26:35.520] little collision. Tire goes.
[26:35.520 -> 26:36.720] And a puncture, there you go.
[26:36.720 -> 26:39.960] But yeah, mate, what does happen with Liam Lawson now?
[26:39.960 -> 26:42.280] So the guy, did he win F2?
[26:42.280 -> 26:43.800] I believe so, and F3.
[26:43.800 -> 26:45.900] Right, did make it into F2, did he do IndyCar for a bit?
[26:45.900 -> 26:47.540] I'm not actually sure how old he is.
[26:47.540 -> 26:49.380] I'm just gonna quickly Google Liam Lawson
[26:49.380 -> 26:50.460] and just see how old he is,
[26:50.460 -> 26:52.700] because he's kinda come out of nowhere.
[26:52.700 -> 26:55.060] I'm not exactly sure, I've heard his name a lot.
[26:55.060 -> 26:58.060] So he's 21 years old, New Zealand.
[27:00.300 -> 27:02.380] Well, he's still so young.
[27:02.380 -> 27:05.200] 21 for an F1 driver is still young.
[27:05.200 -> 27:11.600] Yep, very young. Just trying to see here if he actually won F2. He didn't. He finished
[27:11.600 -> 27:13.000] third in the F2, mate.
[27:13.000 -> 27:15.000] Okay, did he win F3?
[27:15.000 -> 27:18.600] I imagine he did, but I don't know for sure.
[27:18.600 -> 27:22.200] But he's just stepped into an F1 seat, so there must be something about him.
[27:22.200 -> 27:27.280] Well, I've heard, yeah, I've heard good things about about him I have heard good things about Liam Lawson for the people
[27:27.280 -> 27:30.480] that we've had on they've all said lovely things about him, said he's a decent
[27:30.480 -> 27:34.080] driver. To be honest I thought he was he went to IndyCar he was going to IndyCar
[27:34.080 -> 27:37.120] but I think I got that mixed up with Marcus. We knew that Helmut loves him
[27:37.120 -> 27:42.240] Helmut mentions him all the time doesn't he? Yeah Helmut is a big fan of Liam Lawson.
[27:42.240 -> 27:48.320] Well we know mate that Helmut has the strings to pull if he wants so let's see how Ricciardo
[27:48.320 -> 27:53.400] gets on but I mean mate, oh look there's Mikey, Mikey and Alonso.
[27:53.400 -> 27:56.320] We know that they're such good friends as well who we love in that.
[27:56.320 -> 27:59.560] So they're celebrating like crazy, what a race man, what a race.
[27:59.560 -> 28:02.640] I don't know if we should say this but one thing I will say on the pod is if you remember
[28:02.640 -> 28:07.700] Mikey Brown we had on, Fernando Alonso's number one mechanic we went to his house and he has the most unbelievable
[28:08.520 -> 28:14.160] Formula one stuff I've ever seen in my life. We won't say what but my god is amazing is
[28:15.040 -> 28:19.060] Unbelievable because he's raced with he's been with Paris so many different teams. Yeah
[28:19.800 -> 28:22.080] He loves it. So the final
[28:23.200 -> 28:25.000] Standings for that race, guys,
[28:25.000 -> 28:25.840] just to go over it.
[28:25.840 -> 28:29.160] Verstappen first, Alonso, Gasly in third,
[28:29.160 -> 28:31.000] Perez in fourth, Sainz in fifth,
[28:31.000 -> 28:34.560] Hamilton, Norris, Albon, Piastri, Ocon.
[28:34.560 -> 28:37.160] I was hoping for a bit more from Piastri, to be honest.
[28:37.160 -> 28:39.000] It's a shame what happened.
[28:39.000 -> 28:40.200] To be honest, it was a toss-up, mate.
[28:40.200 -> 28:41.240] At the start of the race,
[28:41.240 -> 28:47.400] no one knew when to go on the intermediates or not. And I think they left it a couple laps too late.
[28:47.400 -> 28:49.400] But he could have done some good stuff, man.
[28:49.400 -> 28:54.040] I was chatting to my dad yesterday and he was drunk, but he was losing his marbles about
[28:54.040 -> 28:55.040] Piastri.
[28:55.040 -> 28:56.040] Really?
[28:56.040 -> 28:57.040] Yeah, he was going mental.
[28:57.040 -> 28:58.520] Because he's just so good?
[28:58.520 -> 29:00.280] He's just really, really good, mate.
[29:00.280 -> 29:02.080] And he's got that tiger in him.
[29:02.080 -> 29:03.080] Yeah.
[29:03.080 -> 29:04.080] Fuck it.
[29:04.080 -> 29:05.020] Forget tiger. He's got that lion in him. Yeah, fuck it forget tiger. He's got that lion in him. Oh, yeah
[29:05.020 -> 29:08.200] He's gonna be a he's gonna be a machine in a race like today where?
[29:08.860 -> 29:13.820] Strategy was so important and the rain kept the rain kept coming in and you just had to do things at the right time
[29:14.060 -> 29:18.960] It shows you that it isn't just max. That's incredible that whole Red Bull team
[29:19.020 -> 29:23.440] They make the right decisions at the right time when they make the changes
[29:23.440 -> 29:30.480] It's so unbelievably quick like from driver to pit crew to Hannah Schmitz to Horner to everyone in
[29:30.480 -> 29:34.640] that team oh look there's Gasly, Gasly on the podium doing his interview!
[29:34.640 -> 29:39.960] He looks gassed. He loves it! He looks so happy. He needs that podium, Gasly needs that.
[29:39.960 -> 29:45.160] Well moving ahead to Monza mate I mean let's assume that it's gonna be dry
[29:45.160 -> 29:51.880] weather I'd hope you want a dry race so I don't give predictions but you know
[29:51.880 -> 29:55.720] straight line speed you're always on about has maybe has could do some bits
[29:55.720 -> 30:01.960] at Monza I think we're just gonna keep seeing a climb from Williams that I'll
[30:01.960 -> 30:06.720] put it out there now because you did a wild card last week. Obviously we'll have our full predictions on Thursday
[30:06.720 -> 30:08.080] when you're the other side of the world,
[30:08.080 -> 30:10.880] but yeah, there's something coming from Alex Albon.
[30:10.880 -> 30:12.700] Like this is just the start of the fire.
[30:12.700 -> 30:14.400] They're going to be throwing more kindling on.
[30:14.400 -> 30:15.440] Interesting.
[30:15.440 -> 30:16.280] And Sargent?
[30:18.280 -> 30:20.640] He's shown by getting into Q3,
[30:20.640 -> 30:23.140] he's shown that he could find something in the car,
[30:24.200 -> 30:25.700] but he reminds me a little bit. But can he find something in the car but he reminds me
[30:25.700 -> 30:29.460] can he find something in himself do you know what he reminds me exactly of Ollie
[30:29.460 -> 30:34.660] Behrman in f2 he's like a quick driver but he just needs a bit longer like mate
[30:34.660 -> 30:40.600] it is quite a big step up he reminds me of me a little bit like could step in an
[30:40.600 -> 30:44.580] f1 car and race and do very well but needs a bit more experience we were
[30:44.580 -> 30:46.020] joking about that the other day, weren't we?
[30:46.020 -> 30:47.860] If I woke up and just turned the TV on
[30:47.860 -> 30:49.900] and you were standing there in an Alfa Tauri.
[30:49.900 -> 30:51.820] Daniel Ricciardo's out and they haven't got anyone.
[30:51.820 -> 30:53.480] Jake wakes up, Fab's not in his room.
[30:53.480 -> 30:54.320] He's not in the living room.
[30:54.320 -> 30:55.160] Where is he?
[30:55.160 -> 30:56.820] Jake, mate, I've just landed in Zanvort.
[30:56.820 -> 30:58.980] I was saying you'd have to go around with an air pod in
[30:58.980 -> 31:00.060] so I could talk to you.
[31:00.060 -> 31:01.100] Just hearing you scream,
[31:01.100 -> 31:03.180] ah, my ambulance is next to me!
[31:03.180 -> 31:05.120] We could pod, we could pod from the track.
[31:05.120 -> 31:05.960] From the car.
[31:05.960 -> 31:07.960] Once we've done this virtual pod next week,
[31:07.960 -> 31:09.960] virtual podding is gonna be possible.
[31:09.960 -> 31:11.560] Mate, nothing's gonna stop us.
[31:11.560 -> 31:13.200] I'm actually excited to see how it comes out,
[31:13.200 -> 31:16.680] because the majority of podcasts aren't filmed with people together anyway.
[31:16.680 -> 31:17.320] No.
[31:17.320 -> 31:19.480] So it'll be quite interesting to see what we're like.
[31:19.480 -> 31:20.640] Well, I've got my camera,
[31:20.640 -> 31:22.120] I've got everything, I've got my laptop,
[31:22.120 -> 31:23.240] everything with me, microphone,
[31:23.240 -> 31:24.680] guys, I'm packing it all in my Red Bull bag.
[31:24.680 -> 31:27.880] So it's still gonna sound exactly the same? Should sound good yeah the only
[31:27.880 -> 31:31.120] thing is when you do it online I think there's like a slight delay in the audio
[31:31.120 -> 31:34.160] okay then I think the program that we use which I think we're going to use
[31:34.160 -> 31:37.720] Riverside I think it makes up for that. It's gonna kind of hold it together is it?
[31:37.720 -> 31:41.840] yeah so you need to figure out how to record your audio into your laptop mm-hmm
[31:41.840 -> 31:45.400] apart from that. Through this box. The golden? into Logic. have you got Logic?
[31:45.400 -> 31:47.400] yeah I bought it.
[31:47.400 -> 31:49.400] I've never used it.
[31:49.400 -> 31:51.400] Jake's making beats in his room at night.
[31:51.400 -> 31:53.400] I actually do find it fascinating
[31:53.400 -> 31:55.400] you can just make a song on your laptop now
[31:55.400 -> 31:58.400] but no Max Verstappen nine wins in a row
[31:58.400 -> 32:02.900] Clement Novak won in F2 that's a 12th F2 winner this year
[32:02.900 -> 32:05.680] buzzing for next week to see what Clem can do.
[32:05.680 -> 32:10.720] Next weekend is a big one for us because it could be the week that Gabby wins F3
[32:10.720 -> 32:12.320] and that would be a special moment.
[32:12.320 -> 32:13.440] That's very true, yep.
[32:13.440 -> 32:16.560] And I'm going to be away for Thursday so we've got to figure out Thursday's episode
[32:16.560 -> 32:18.640] but Sunday we'll definitely be doing it virtual.
[32:18.640 -> 32:19.040] Yep.
[32:19.040 -> 32:21.440] So guys strap in and hold tight and get ready for that.
[32:21.440 -> 32:23.120] Yeah hope everyone has a fantastic week.
[32:23.120 -> 32:24.960] Hope you enjoyed the race weekend.
[32:24.960 -> 32:25.120] A wet one's always, it feels like it's just been a wet season really. It has been. and hold tight and get ready for that. Yeah, hope everyone has a fantastic week. Hope you enjoyed the race weekend.
[32:25.120 -> 32:26.160] A wet one's always,
[32:26.160 -> 32:28.920] it feels like it's just been a wet season, really.
[32:28.920 -> 32:29.760] It has been.
[32:29.760 -> 32:32.560] Would love some just shootouts, you know,
[32:32.560 -> 32:34.840] where people are putting on softs on like lap 50
[32:34.840 -> 32:37.600] and it's proper fastest lap, fastest lap, fastest lap.
[32:37.600 -> 32:38.920] Yeah, I want to see some crazy shit.
[32:38.920 -> 32:39.920] I'm sure it's going to happen.
[32:39.920 -> 32:41.520] We've got some big races coming.
[32:42.960 -> 32:45.460] Can't really pretend that the championship's wide open.
[32:45.460 -> 32:47.020] Big Max might have won it.
[32:47.020 -> 32:49.300] Yeah, but however, there is a big fight lower down
[32:49.300 -> 32:52.660] and I felt like Alonso and was it Hamilton?
[32:52.660 -> 32:53.820] Very close on points.
[32:53.820 -> 32:55.660] Well, I'm glad to see Alonso back on the podium
[32:55.660 -> 32:56.940] because for a couple of weeks now,
[32:56.940 -> 32:58.580] Aston Martin haven't really been there
[32:58.580 -> 33:00.260] after Alonso's big statement
[33:00.260 -> 33:02.580] that he was going to get a podium in every race.
[33:02.580 -> 33:05.320] But I think today came down to experience
[33:05.320 -> 33:08.200] and we even saw in them last couple of laps for a while,
[33:08.200 -> 33:09.760] Alonso was staying with Max.
[33:09.760 -> 33:10.800] Yes, he was.
[33:10.800 -> 33:14.080] And so we got, yeah, we've got Perez with 201 points
[33:14.080 -> 33:17.080] in second, Alonso with 168 in third,
[33:17.080 -> 33:19.680] and then Hamilton just behind him with 156,
[33:19.680 -> 33:22.200] but there was one point difference between those two.
[33:22.200 -> 33:23.040] Wow.
[33:23.040 -> 33:23.860] So this is great for Fernando.
[33:23.860 -> 33:26.920] If he can come third in the championship, mega.
[33:26.920 -> 33:28.680] That would be a big success for Aston Martin.
[33:28.680 -> 33:29.440] Where's Stroll?
[33:29.440 -> 33:30.960] They would have been buzzing with that this season.
[33:30.960 -> 33:32.560] Was Stroll even in today's race?
[33:32.560 -> 33:33.760] Stroll's down in ninth.
[33:33.760 -> 33:34.600] Was Stroll even...
[33:34.600 -> 33:37.520] I don't think I've even seen the word Stroll.
[33:37.520 -> 33:38.520] No, there was nothing about him.
[33:38.520 -> 33:40.400] Or even seen the car today.
[33:40.400 -> 33:41.800] Gnout. There was Gnout.
[33:41.800 -> 33:44.880] It's funny how people can just go missing on the stream like that.
[33:44.880 -> 33:48.600] I didn't see anything of him. Or even hear his name, I don't think. Oscar Piast There was nout. It's funny how people can just go missing on the stream like that. I didn't see anything of him or even hear his name I don't think. Oscar Piastri
[33:48.600 -> 33:53.920] with 36 points. That's sick. One point behind Pierre Gasly in tenth. For a rookie. Yeah
[33:53.920 -> 34:00.120] it's awesome. So yeah guys we will see you on the weekend. You better go pack your bags.
[34:00.120 -> 34:05.500] Don't forget your passport, sun cream, insurance. I've got it. I haven't got sun cream. I haven't got insurance.
[34:05.500 -> 34:08.000] Fab's about to do his favourite thing ever, get on an aeroplane.
[34:08.000 -> 34:09.000] Yep, can't wait.
[34:09.000 -> 34:11.000] He's booked a seat, 19C.
[34:11.000 -> 34:12.500] Mm, incorrect.
[34:12.500 -> 34:14.000] Oh, you moved it.
[34:14.000 -> 34:15.000] 13C.
[34:15.000 -> 34:16.500] And is there any reason for that?
[34:16.500 -> 34:17.500] No, I let the plane book it.
[34:17.500 -> 34:19.000] I ain't picking my seat, mate.
[34:19.000 -> 34:22.500] You're 13, some people say 30 is an unlucky number.
[34:22.500 -> 34:26.600] If that plane goes down, then I want it to be up to the gods as to where I'm sitting
[34:26.600 -> 34:32.200] I don't want to pick row 19 and all of a sudden the whole plane survived but row 19 was blown out
[34:32.200 -> 34:35.800] and the easy jet gods have chosen flight seat 13 have they?
[34:35.800 -> 34:36.800] yeah yeah
[34:36.800 -> 34:41.800] lucky number 13 I hope you have a safe flight mate I hope you have a great trip you're gonna be thoroughly missed
