[01:08.240 -> 01:09.080] Let's go.
[01:09.080 -> 01:10.640] Let's go, ladies and gents.
[01:10.640 -> 01:11.760] I'm so excited.

[01:14.600 -> 01:15.800] before we watch the race
[01:15.800 -> 01:17.340] and then we'll be back after it.
[01:17.340 -> 01:19.860] I predicted George Russell to win.
[01:19.860 -> 01:21.400] Yep, where's he?
[01:21.400 -> 01:22.880] Didn't go so well for him.
[01:22.880 -> 01:25.520] He just got knocked out at the end of qualifying later, he's not
[01:25.520 -> 01:26.520] even in the top ten.
[01:26.520 -> 01:27.520] I thought he was fourth.
[01:27.520 -> 01:28.520] Nope, you showed so much attention.
[01:28.520 -> 01:29.520] God damn, that's bad.
[01:29.520 -> 01:30.520] That's bad for Russell, man.
[01:30.520 -> 01:33.520] Who did you predict to win?
[01:33.520 -> 01:41.120] I predicted, right, I can't remember, right, I predicted Max Verstappen first, Leclerc
[01:41.120 -> 01:42.120] second.
[01:42.120 -> 01:43.120] It's a game, man.
[01:43.120 -> 01:44.120] Leclerc second.
[01:44.120 -> 01:46.000] It's a game, man.**king Ronald Mcdonald third.
[01:46.000 -> 01:48.000] Okay, right.
[01:48.000 -> 01:50.000] We've had a few drinks. We've been out in the sun.
[01:50.000 -> 01:52.000] Alright? We've been out in London
[01:52.000 -> 01:54.000] today. Yeah, we've been drinking.
[01:54.000 -> 01:56.000] The heat got to us. So we might be a bit
[01:56.000 -> 01:58.000] better after the end of the next bit. Apologies
[01:58.000 -> 02:00.000] for anything that we say around. You said Lando
[02:00.000 -> 02:02.000] Norris third. Lando Norris third, yeah.
[02:02.000 -> 02:04.000] I said Kevin Magnussen third.
[02:04.000 -> 02:06.320] Who do you think is going to win now? Who do I think is going to win?ando Norris third, yeah. I said Kevin Magnussen third. Hmm, don't know about that. Who do you think is gonna win now?
[02:06.320 -> 02:07.160] Who do I think is gonna win?
[02:07.160 -> 02:08.160] Leclerc, obviously.
[02:08.160 -> 02:09.920] I think Verstappen is gonna take this.
[02:09.920 -> 02:11.280] I think the Ferraris are quick, mate,
[02:11.280 -> 02:12.720] and they're gonna, especially on that straight,
[02:12.720 -> 02:13.640] they're gonna pull ahead.
[02:13.640 -> 02:14.480] You reckon? Red Bull won't be able to keep up.
[02:14.480 -> 02:16.760] No, I think Red Bull are quicker through the straights,
[02:16.760 -> 02:20.040] but I think it's gonna be a great, a great bout.
[02:20.040 -> 02:22.160] Verstappen's third, arguably a good position
[02:22.160 -> 02:23.620] for a corner that's straight away.
[02:23.620 -> 02:28.000] So I genuinely think by the first corner, Max Verstappen will be in the lead.
[02:28.000 -> 02:29.600] And then I don't think anyone else will catch him.
[02:30.300 -> 02:32.300] Carlos Sainz puts it in the bin, first corner.
[02:32.300 -> 02:32.800] Do you reckon?
[02:33.300 -> 02:35.500] Name one driver you think that won't complete the race.
[02:35.700 -> 02:39.200] One driver that won't complete the race.
[02:42.500 -> 02:43.800] Let me think for a minute.
[02:44.400 -> 02:45.000] Latifi.
[02:45.000 -> 02:46.000] You're going Latifi?
[02:46.000 -> 02:47.000] Yeah.
[02:47.000 -> 02:49.000] All right, I'm going to go out there and I'm going to say, I don't think-
[02:49.000 -> 02:50.000] That's nasty.
[02:50.000 -> 02:51.000] I shouldn't say that, but yeah, fuck it.
[02:51.000 -> 02:54.120] I don't think Charles Leclerc is going to finish the race.
[02:54.120 -> 02:56.360] I've got a feeling that Max will get him on the first corner.
[02:56.360 -> 02:58.000] He won't like it and he'll do something silly.
[02:58.000 -> 02:59.000] Couldn't out there.
[02:59.000 -> 03:00.000] How could you?
[03:00.000 -> 03:01.000] We're about to watch the race.
[03:01.000 -> 03:02.000] We'll be back.
[03:02.000 -> 03:03.000] Oh, well, after the race.
[03:03.000 -> 03:04.000] We'll be back shortly.
[03:04.000 -> 03:05.440] We'll be back after the race. We'll be back. Well, after the race. We'll be back shortly. We'll be
[03:05.440 -> 03:09.040] back after the race. Bye. Bye bye.
[03:09.040 -> 03:23.680] And there we have it. That is the end of the Miami Grand Prix 2022. The first we've ever
[03:23.680 -> 03:28.120] had to debut. It's match for staffing in pole, Charles Leclerc second,
[03:28.120 -> 03:29.280] Carlos Sainz third.
[03:29.280 -> 03:32.320] Jake, how are you feeling after such a momentous race?
[03:32.320 -> 03:34.360] George Russell, at one point,
[03:34.360 -> 03:37.560] I actually thought my prediction of him winning the race
[03:37.560 -> 03:38.520] might win.
[03:38.520 -> 03:39.360] Oh my God.
[03:39.360 -> 03:42.400] And heartbreak for Schumacher.
[03:42.400 -> 03:43.880] Oh man. Heartbreak for Schumacher.
[03:43.880 -> 03:45.000] Don't even get me started on that.
[03:45.000 -> 03:46.000] Let's start with Russell.
[03:46.000 -> 03:49.000] You were telling me when he was in 15th that he's going to come first.
[03:49.000 -> 03:52.000] I'm thinking he's not going to get fucking anywhere near it.
[03:52.000 -> 03:55.000] I think you had me figured out there quite early on that he was not going to come first.
[03:55.000 -> 03:58.000] No, but he'd done much better than I thought he was going to do.
[03:58.000 -> 04:01.000] The tactic of the hards worked significantly well.
[04:01.000 -> 04:03.000] The tactics of the hards?
[04:03.000 -> 04:06.480] He started on hards, so did Albonbon Albon is having a great start to the season
[04:06.480 -> 04:11.280] Very quietly he's getting a lot of points Albon's that he's got a little trick up his sleeve
[04:11.280 -> 04:14.160] I feel like he knows what he's doing Albon's right there
[04:14.160 -> 04:18.440] I think we should introduce this section because for the first time ever properly
[04:18.760 -> 04:24.600] Me and fab have both made like race notes like maybe we should have a little I'll put you say me and fab are both
[04:24.600 -> 04:26.040] Made the sofa. Like maybe we should have a little name for it. I thought you were gonna say, me and Fab are both made the sofa.
[04:26.040 -> 04:27.960] Yeah, we are both made the lounge.
[04:27.960 -> 04:29.680] But we've introduced, we took notes today.
[04:29.680 -> 04:31.240] We haven't really done that properly before.
[04:31.240 -> 04:32.080] We took notes today.
[04:32.080 -> 04:33.360] Well, anyone who's listened to the intro
[04:33.360 -> 04:34.960] knows that we were drinking earlier, so.
[04:34.960 -> 04:35.800] I've got a headache.
[04:35.800 -> 04:37.640] I was gonna forget, I was gonna forget everything.
[04:37.640 -> 04:39.200] So I had to make a load of notes.
[04:39.200 -> 04:40.840] Let's have a little section.
[04:40.840 -> 04:47.880] Welcome to race notes with Jake and Fabio. I have got a splitting headache,
[04:47.880 -> 04:54.160] but this is going to be great fun. Yeah, no, that was an incredible race. Let's start from
[04:54.160 -> 04:58.280] the beginning right from the beginning, both after Aston Martin started in the pit lane.
[04:58.280 -> 05:03.280] Yes, it was a, it was a bit cloudy today in qualifying and practice. The sun was out.
[05:03.280 -> 05:07.500] It was really hot. Do you know what I I mean the track was like 57 degrees apparently the track started on
[05:07.500 -> 05:11.680] 47 degrees today it went up that's that must so is that why they had a problem
[05:11.680 -> 05:14.120] with their fuel because they have to keep it a certain temperature and it
[05:14.120 -> 05:17.160] looked like their fuel was too cold and what asked the Martin yeah they had to
[05:17.160 -> 05:21.160] change Park Furnay rules yeah something something happened they had to change
[05:21.160 -> 05:24.200] something with their fuel I don't know what it was because they changed it
[05:24.200 -> 05:26.660] under the rules pit stop start did you
[05:26.660 -> 05:30.680] enjoy the gridwalk did you enjoy Martin speaking about many celebrities he was
[05:30.680 -> 05:34.600] trending on Twitter wasn't he was it yeah because well we missed part of it
[05:34.600 -> 05:37.520] because I was on the phone but apparently it was hilarious I saw him
[05:37.520 -> 05:42.760] really fun DJ Khaled yeah I've never seen so many big celebs on the grid I
[05:42.760 -> 05:48.640] mean maybe there's been bigger celebs I don't know but you got David Beckham there DJ Khaled there you got is it Fittipaldi
[05:48.640 -> 05:52.720] Pharrell Williams. Zac from McLaren said he's gonna get Fittipaldi in a car. Yeah that'd be interesting.
[05:52.720 -> 05:58.040] The guy's 82 years old. That's amazing mate imagine that that's gonna be we
[05:58.040 -> 06:01.320] just saw so many celebs in Miami and it's great for the sport we're currently
[06:01.320 -> 06:10.160] staring at the screen of Max Verstappen, Sainz and Leclerc in a room. Look at the whole crowd on the track that's crazy. Red Bull were unbelievably quick today. Yeah.
[06:10.160 -> 06:15.280] Unbelievably quick quicker than the Ferrari even without DRS their track speed was so much quicker.
[06:15.280 -> 06:19.040] Yeah the straight line speed is just there's something wrong with the Ferrari not something
[06:19.040 -> 06:22.640] wrong but they need to improve their engine on that straight line speed because they're just not
[06:22.640 -> 06:27.200] there I mean you even with DRS you could see that Verstappen was pulling away. Oh yeah Max could pull away
[06:27.200 -> 06:30.680] in section one and two and then lose time in section two and three and still
[06:30.680 -> 06:35.020] couldn't be caught. It's Red Bull, it is the Red Bull powertrain at the moment
[06:35.020 -> 06:38.760] they've got the power and that's that Max Verstappen has won every race he's
[06:38.760 -> 06:43.500] finished this season. Wow. He's only DNF'd and that's the car's fault like this is
[06:43.500 -> 06:45.520] an incredible driver in an incredible car.
[06:45.520 -> 06:48.320] That's crazy. But Leclerc still leads the championship.
[06:48.320 -> 06:51.360] We mustn't forget that. No, and he's still got decent points
[06:51.360 -> 06:55.040] for coming second. So even though the gap has slightly tightened up,
[06:55.040 -> 06:56.800] it's actually going to be quite tight now. I don't know.
[06:56.800 -> 06:58.480] Yeah, I don't know. It will be really tight now.
[06:58.480 -> 07:01.200] 25 points. Probably be under 10 points or something like that.
[07:01.200 -> 07:03.440] We should definitely know that. But yeah. We should check that.
[07:03.440 -> 07:05.080] Hamilton and Russell. What do you make We should check that. Hamilton and Russell,
[07:05.080 -> 07:06.440] what'd you make to that little battle?
[07:06.440 -> 07:09.200] Hamilton and Russell, Russell, no Hamilton,
[07:09.200 -> 07:10.960] heard Hamilton complaining,
[07:10.960 -> 07:12.480] saying the strategy was wrong.
[07:12.480 -> 07:13.300] Yeah.
[07:13.300 -> 07:14.200] I don't know what he meant by that.
[07:14.200 -> 07:15.040] Well, he radioed in, didn't he?
[07:15.040 -> 07:16.280] And he said, should I pit?
[07:16.280 -> 07:17.880] And then they were like, don't ask me,
[07:17.880 -> 07:19.320] like you guys tell me whether I'm pitting.
[07:19.320 -> 07:20.360] And I kind of agree with that.
[07:20.360 -> 07:21.760] Like surely that's on the team.
[07:21.760 -> 07:22.600] It's on the team.
[07:22.600 -> 07:23.640] The team should be like radioing in,
[07:23.640 -> 07:25.960] being like, we're looking at all the stats here you got a pit now there
[07:25.960 -> 07:29.960] shouldn't even be that conversation. No really no I don't know there's clearly a
[07:29.960 -> 07:32.960] miscommunication. I think I almost feel like the team's a bit scared of Hamilton
[07:32.960 -> 07:36.560] because he's such like a big dog do you know I mean they kind of ask him
[07:36.560 -> 07:39.640] what he thinks. Well Russell finished higher than him that's five races in a
[07:39.640 -> 07:43.840] row for Russell coming in the top five incredible feat for someone in a new car
[07:43.840 -> 07:45.180] a new team,
[07:45.180 -> 07:46.020] putting in a shift.
[07:46.020 -> 07:47.960] They made the right decision starting him on fifth
[07:47.960 -> 07:49.460] because he started him on...
[07:50.760 -> 07:52.920] God's sake, starting him on hards.
[07:52.920 -> 07:55.640] Yeah, because he finished fifth and he started 11th.
[07:55.640 -> 07:56.480] I think.
[07:56.480 -> 07:57.300] Really incredible.
[07:57.300 -> 07:58.320] We're just seeing Christian Horner right now,
[07:58.320 -> 08:01.240] taking a photo with his wife outside the Hard Rock Stadium.
[08:01.240 -> 08:03.520] I love all this pre-race stuff as well.
[08:03.520 -> 08:04.340] It's really exciting.
[08:04.340 -> 08:05.040] While we're podding.
[08:05.040 -> 08:06.560] They did Miami well, I think.
[08:06.560 -> 08:08.320] There was a lot of people that liked it,
[08:08.320 -> 08:09.880] a lot of people didn't like it.
[08:10.800 -> 08:13.740] But at the end of the day, that was a great Grand Prix.
[08:13.740 -> 08:15.240] And everything about it was great.
[08:15.240 -> 08:16.160] It was good.
[08:16.160 -> 08:18.520] And I think, did you not love it?
[08:18.520 -> 08:21.120] It was really good because of what happened, I think.
[08:21.120 -> 08:23.080] If the Norris and Gasly thing hadn't happened.
[08:23.080 -> 08:24.040] So what actually happened there?
[08:24.040 -> 08:25.520] Because I wasn't really looking and then I just randomly the Norris and Gasly thing hadn't happened. So what actually happened there? Cause I wasn't really looking
[08:25.520 -> 08:27.520] and then I just randomly saw Norris.
[08:27.520 -> 08:31.560] Yeah, well, I think like two laps prior to them clashing,
[08:31.560 -> 08:34.400] Alonso went for an overtake on Gasly.
[08:34.400 -> 08:36.080] I saw him come up on the inside of the corner.
[08:36.080 -> 08:39.840] I mean, Gasly was ahead, so he had no reason to look out.
[08:39.840 -> 08:40.680] Do you know what I mean?
[08:40.680 -> 08:42.360] But Alonso's come straight up the inside
[08:42.360 -> 08:44.520] and just clipped his back wheel.
[08:44.520 -> 08:48.280] Gasly slid out a little bit and lost two places stroll past him as well. Wow
[08:48.280 -> 08:50.280] So he had already fucked his car then already
[08:50.280 -> 08:55.960] I think he was on the radio complaining to his team that he couldn't steer and then again Norris
[08:57.100 -> 09:00.640] Smash up such a shame such a shame for Lando Norris
[09:00.640 -> 09:08.720] He was having a okay race, but the McLaren's just didn't get going here like it did in Imola I don't know how you can go third and then have such a
[09:08.720 -> 09:12.440] bad race there seems to be so many uncertainties in so many of the cars
[09:12.440 -> 09:17.040] like they can perform here can't perform there yeah it's very I mean obviously
[09:17.040 -> 09:21.240] it was a wet race but strategy played a huge thing in today's race because at the
[09:21.240 -> 09:25.000] end of the race you had a wet race Imola right right I mean like here strategy was so important because you had soft medium and hard tires because at the end of the race you had- What was a wet race? Imola. Right, right, right.
[09:25.000 -> 09:26.000] Do you get what I mean?
[09:26.000 -> 09:29.360] Like here, strategy was so important because you had softs, medium and hard tyres out at
[09:29.360 -> 09:30.360] the end on the track.
[09:30.360 -> 09:34.400] Everyone was on different tyres so it obviously wasn't a go-to strategy.
[09:34.400 -> 09:37.520] It was really interesting and Russell was playing for the safety car.
[09:37.520 -> 09:41.040] You've got to think, if there wasn't a safety car, Russell would not have finished fifth.
[09:41.040 -> 09:44.800] No, and that goes to show you have to think about everything in Formula 1.
[09:44.800 -> 09:45.680] Yeah. I mean, if it wasn't for that safety car, like you said, Russell wouldn't have been where he was. No. And that goes to show you have to think about everything in Formula One. Yeah.
[09:45.680 -> 09:46.560] I mean, if it wasn't for that safety car,
[09:46.560 -> 09:48.320] like you said, Russell wouldn't have been where he was.
[09:48.320 -> 09:49.160] No way.
[09:49.160 -> 09:51.760] But the fact that Russell had it in him to even consider
[09:51.760 -> 09:52.600] that that might happen.
[09:52.600 -> 09:53.440] Yeah.
[09:53.440 -> 09:54.260] Do you know what I mean?
[09:54.260 -> 09:55.100] He could have just pitted.
[09:55.100 -> 09:56.680] Yeah. I think that's like the best option for anyone
[09:56.680 -> 09:58.440] who's like, thinks they might finish out points.
[09:58.440 -> 09:59.840] Cause I reckon he probably would have finished out
[09:59.840 -> 10:01.280] at ninth, 10th or 11th.
[10:01.280 -> 10:03.840] So it was like a, like a big gamble for Russell,
[10:03.840 -> 10:05.000] but definitely the right decision. And look, it's, it's paid off, but yeah. So it was like a big gamble for Russell but definitely the right decision
[10:05.000 -> 10:11.000] and look, it's paid off. But yeah, Schumacher was a killer to watch. That sucked.
[10:11.000 -> 10:14.400] Man, that's not nice and they made it worse. It was Vettel, they're like best mates.
[10:14.400 -> 10:18.120] I know and then the commentator said you can't have best mates in Formula 1. I was thinking
[10:18.120 -> 10:23.480] like how are these two going to react to this after it? So who went into who? I think Schumacher
[10:23.480 -> 10:24.800] went into the side of Vettel, didn't he?
[10:24.800 -> 10:29.520] It's just, it's brutal. I mean, I was saying to you earlier on in the race when Vettel
[10:29.520 -> 10:33.880] was behind, it was Magnussen and Schumacher was in front of Magnussen, so it was the two
[10:33.880 -> 10:38.000] Hasses and then Vettel behind. And I was saying to you, like, I wonder if Vettel would radio
[10:38.000 -> 10:42.560] in to his team and just ask if it's Schumacher in front. Like, do you feel like he may have
[10:42.560 -> 10:45.320] a bit more, he may play a bit safer?
[10:45.320 -> 10:47.400] I mean, clearly he obviously fucking didn't, but.
[10:47.400 -> 10:50.160] Yeah, I mean, you'd hope not in a way.
[10:50.160 -> 10:52.320] Like even though they're friends, you'd hope not.
[10:52.320 -> 10:55.160] I mean, for the sheer, I don't think so, to be honest.
[10:55.160 -> 10:56.320] I think even though they're friends,
[10:56.320 -> 10:57.440] I think when they're on that track,
[10:57.440 -> 10:58.440] they're out there to race.
[10:58.440 -> 11:00.600] And to me, I think that's how Schumacher gets better.
[11:00.600 -> 11:02.000] And I don't think his team would accept that.
[11:02.000 -> 11:03.120] It goes beyond friendship.
[11:03.120 -> 11:04.400] I mean, for me, I see it.
[11:04.400 -> 11:07.640] I see the more as, I mean mean obviously Vettel was racing his dad
[11:07.640 -> 11:10.920] for so fucking long and he's like a father figure to Schumi. Exactly.
[11:10.920 -> 11:16.120] It's like family. Yeah it's a horrible one out of everyone
[11:16.120 -> 11:19.320] it could have been on the grid to be Vettel and Schumacher it does absolutely
[11:19.320 -> 11:24.240] suck especially when it's his first points. You've got to think, Michael hasn't been by any
[11:24.240 -> 11:25.560] well for any of his races he hasn't been by the side of the track so it's his first point. So they're both gonna be gutted. Michael hasn't been by any, well, for any of his races,
[11:25.560 -> 11:27.480] he hasn't been by the side of the track.
[11:27.480 -> 11:29.840] So it's obviously been Vettel who's been that figure
[11:29.840 -> 11:31.080] for him next to the track.
[11:31.080 -> 11:34.280] So yeah, that's a tough, tough pill to swallow,
[11:34.280 -> 11:36.440] but hey, it's motor racing.
[11:36.440 -> 11:38.040] It is what it is.
[11:38.040 -> 11:39.560] That shit happens.
[11:39.560 -> 11:40.400] Hey, it's motor racing.
[11:40.400 -> 11:42.160] So you imagine if you and me were on the track now,
[11:42.160 -> 11:44.440] we're friends, that could get fucking,
[11:44.440 -> 11:45.000] that could get messy. Wipe the fuck out, the track now, we're friends that could get fucking
[11:50.120 -> 11:53.480] Fuck out mate, even if we're friends if we knew going in a apex 200 miles an hour
[11:58.720 -> 12:01.240] I am just gonna go in so late that you cannot turn your only option is to go into the side of me That's very nice of you, and I will give you no track
[12:01.360 -> 12:05.040] We need to get on a track in cars because I am ready to show you one.
[12:05.040 -> 12:08.720] Yeah, yeah, any brands listening, make it happen. Me and Jake want to race each other.
[12:08.720 -> 12:12.560] I am the Max Verstappen of Volkswagen Golfs. You put me in that. It's got to be all mag though,
[12:12.560 -> 12:16.720] I won't have a clue how to drive it. That's okay. Flappy paddle.
[12:16.720 -> 12:20.400] Yeah, Red Bull. Max Verstappen. It goes back to what we said in the last couple of weeks.
[12:20.400 -> 12:27.120] That Red Bull is set up unbelievably well. He's fucking firing it. First corner, he's from third to second. And I thought he was going to get Lec set up unbelievably well. First corner he's from third to second
[12:27.120 -> 12:30.040] and I thought he was going to get Leclerc as well. Man this is the thing that I've been
[12:30.040 -> 12:34.920] dreading is Ferrari not being able to claw back now. Maintain. But you've got to think
[12:34.920 -> 12:38.360] Ferrari picked up their points at the beginning and yeah there's a big Ferrari hype but you've
[12:38.360 -> 12:41.640] got to remember the only reason they got the points first and second or whatever is because
[12:41.640 -> 12:46.480] the Red Bulls weren't finishing. The Red Bulls every other race have just caught them at the end no problem
[12:46.480 -> 12:49.000] yeah but there's still I mean something's going on because they're still a quick
[12:49.000 -> 12:53.080] car they're still qualifying P1 yeah definitely but Max was very unlucky not
[12:53.080 -> 12:58.000] to qualify P1 today and Max did amazing to win the race. For a start, the overtake on
[12:58.000 -> 13:04.080] Carlos man. Unreal. On the first lap first corner. So brave. Insane. It's like on the
[13:04.080 -> 13:05.520] verge of like dangerous,
[13:05.520 -> 13:07.460] but it's also like perfectly brave.
[13:07.460 -> 13:09.780] It's not dangerous, it's fully legal,
[13:09.780 -> 13:12.620] but it's like not every driver is going to take that risk
[13:12.620 -> 13:14.240] on the first corner.
[13:14.240 -> 13:15.560] He got a better start.
[13:15.560 -> 13:16.640] That was the main thing,
[13:16.640 -> 13:18.920] but something's going on with Carlos.
[13:18.920 -> 13:21.160] I can't really, I can't decide what's happening with Carlos.
[13:21.160 -> 13:23.120] Do you reckon maybe he's struggling with the fact that
[13:23.120 -> 13:24.560] he wants to be winning every race
[13:24.560 -> 13:25.280] and Leclerc's ahead of him?
[13:25.840 -> 13:32.600] I've been talking to a couple of people about this recently and I think that there is a big big mental game in the Formula One
[13:32.840 -> 13:37.060] With any sport I suppose if you're underperforming or if you've got a teammate who's doing better than you
[13:37.320 -> 13:40.080] It's got to be so hard man. I don't feel like
[13:40.900 -> 13:45.240] Yeah, yeah when you say that Leclerc and Sainz definitely don't have the duo
[13:45.240 -> 13:49.900] partnership that Verstappen and Perez have. Like even do you notice when
[13:49.900 -> 13:53.860] Verstappen was coming out the pits Perez is just fully sold off fully waiting for
[13:53.860 -> 13:57.640] him. Perez is in that race a lot of the time even though Perez is an amazing
[13:57.640 -> 14:01.080] driver Red Bull know that Verstappen is going to be their P1. Yeah but I think
[14:01.080 -> 14:06.000] Perez is more of a malleable driver and team player.
[14:06.000 -> 14:08.000] That's what I mean, so they have a bit of dynamic.
[14:08.000 -> 14:13.000] The team are able to push someone like Perez more into that secondary position and we saw it.
[14:13.000 -> 14:17.000] I mean, if Perez has the opportunity to win, then he'll fucking go for it.
[14:17.000 -> 14:25.100] But I think he's been made more of a team player, whereas I think Carlos still has his sights on trying to be the best.
[14:25.100 -> 14:27.180] I was going to say though, do you think,
[14:27.180 -> 14:29.480] I was going to say, do you think Ferrari would let,
[14:29.480 -> 14:32.760] let Leclerc make signs go through if they were close enough,
[14:32.760 -> 14:34.240] but they haven't got close enough.
[14:34.240 -> 14:37.180] They don't, they genuinely are, there's a gap between them.
[14:37.180 -> 14:41.180] So until that gap is even, you know, a couple of seconds,
[14:41.180 -> 14:42.400] that's never going to come into play.
[14:42.400 -> 14:44.240] So they probably, that's probably planned on his mind as
[14:44.240 -> 14:46.240] well, he's like, I can't even get into that gap.
[14:46.240 -> 14:48.160] I can't even get close to my teammate.
[14:48.160 -> 14:50.120] I know they're close, but realistically,
[14:50.120 -> 14:52.520] you got to think, today's race was gone
[14:52.520 -> 14:54.360] without that safety car to Red Bull.
[14:54.360 -> 14:56.280] I mean, all the time comes back with a safety car.
[14:56.280 -> 14:57.680] How do you feel about that?
[14:57.680 -> 14:59.720] That's something that I'm learning as like a new fan,
[14:59.720 -> 15:02.480] looking at that, thinking like, it's a bit gutting, isn't it?
[15:02.480 -> 15:03.760] Like you made all that lead,
[15:03.760 -> 15:06.800] and then out of nowhere, there's a safety car car and then the car's right behind you again.
[15:06.800 -> 15:09.600] No, I mean that's just the name of the game. That's it.
[15:09.600 -> 15:11.000] It works in everyone's favour right?
[15:11.000 -> 15:12.000] That's just the rules.
[15:12.000 -> 15:14.600] At some point it'll work in your favour, you'll get a pit, you won't.
[15:14.600 -> 15:18.000] Yeah, you can't ever argue the rules. It's not unfair, that's just the way the sport is.
[15:18.000 -> 15:28.040] No, I don't think it's unfair, I just think it's like, it's one of those that will work in your favour out your favorite different points for outside I don't know maybe if it was Leclerc in first and it was Verstappen behind him and then overtook him
[15:28.040 -> 15:30.040] I'd probably have a different theory about it
[15:30.040 -> 15:36.040] Yeah, Leclerc was he had a chance there and he couldn't get it still so so interesting that that red ball is quicker without
[15:36.200 -> 15:38.800] Like without the arrest and the red ball. No, yeah
[15:39.440 -> 15:41.440] Yeah, yeah, whatever just shows you
[15:42.360 -> 15:45.080] Especially on the straights here like like out of all the tracks,
[15:45.080 -> 15:47.280] the straights here are unbelievable.
[15:47.280 -> 15:48.120] Yeah.
[15:48.120 -> 15:49.280] If you're going to catch anyone in the RS,
[15:49.280 -> 15:50.360] it's going to be on this track.
[15:50.360 -> 15:53.120] And Verstappen just flew.
[15:53.120 -> 15:54.240] He was absolutely flying.
[15:54.240 -> 15:55.800] Yeah, didn't put a foot wrong.
[15:55.800 -> 15:58.760] I saw Leclerc make a couple of mistakes.
[15:58.760 -> 16:00.640] Well, when he did go, he had that lockup, didn't he?
[16:00.640 -> 16:01.480] Mm-hmm.
[16:01.480 -> 16:02.320] And he had a couple of other spots
[16:02.320 -> 16:04.520] where he took a couple of corners wide and that.
[16:04.520 -> 16:06.800] Yeah. He went over the bumper a little bit.
[16:06.800 -> 16:10.000] It's one mistake here and there, but it's everything.
[16:10.000 -> 16:11.000] That's the race, really.
[16:11.000 -> 16:13.200] Yeah, but either way, they'll be happy with that.
[16:13.200 -> 16:16.200] I was thinking this when I was watching it, like, if you're a driver and you can't come
[16:16.200 -> 16:18.360] P1, P2 is obviously the next best thing.
[16:18.360 -> 16:19.920] And there isn't that many points in it.
[16:19.920 -> 16:22.180] And Leclerc does have a 40 point lead.
[16:22.180 -> 16:26.560] And I think they said something like the only person to ever blow a 40 point lead
[16:26.560 -> 16:28.600] was Fernando Alonso and that was years ago.
[16:28.600 -> 16:31.280] So like, it's, we're already setting up
[16:31.280 -> 16:33.960] for an amazing season because if no one's ever
[16:33.960 -> 16:35.640] like blown a 40 point lead before
[16:35.640 -> 16:38.600] and now out of nowhere, the staff has already got it back.
[16:38.600 -> 16:42.280] Within like two races, you've, the gap's gone already.
[16:42.280 -> 16:43.800] Ferrari got to step it up now.
[16:43.800 -> 16:44.960] Yeah, no, 100%.
[16:44.960 -> 16:46.760] Ferrari should be feeling the pressure now.
[16:46.760 -> 16:49.160] I actually think Ferrari should be feeling the pressure
[16:49.160 -> 16:51.280] from Mercedes, like hard.
[16:51.280 -> 16:53.560] Because if Russell was able to get that close,
[16:53.560 -> 16:56.440] admittedly we're favored of the hard tires
[16:56.440 -> 16:58.400] and he had a good race today.
[16:58.400 -> 17:00.320] But Mercedes are clearly getting better week,
[17:00.320 -> 17:01.800] getting better every week.
[17:01.800 -> 17:03.700] And Ferrari getting worse every week.
[17:03.700 -> 17:07.560] Or Red Bull just getting so much better every week. I think Red Bull are getting
[17:07.560 -> 17:11.640] really fucking good. I ask you this every week but how much can
[17:11.640 -> 17:16.640] Mercedes improve? Can they actually get there this season? I think I think
[17:16.640 -> 17:19.920] they can they can still pull something out the bag. They're the best team for the
[17:19.920 -> 17:25.000] last seven years, eight years. Wasn't the best start for Russell, started sixth and then was eighth by the end of the first lap.
[17:25.000 -> 17:29.200] And he's got one of the quickest reaction times, so I didn't expect that from Hamilton
[17:29.200 -> 17:30.200] at all.
[17:30.200 -> 17:34.120] But I do think, like you said, if anyone can pull it out of the bag and suddenly spin round
[17:34.120 -> 17:37.400] and get loads of points, it's going to be bloody Hamilton or Russell.
[17:37.400 -> 17:40.520] If they fix that car in the slightest, Hamilton's going to get points.
[17:40.520 -> 17:41.520] You're right.
[17:41.520 -> 17:42.840] I just had to get a drink, my mouth was so dry then.
[17:42.840 -> 17:44.320] He just leaned over me and grabbed himself a Maccas.
[17:44.320 -> 17:45.440] I looked round, I panicked, there was no drink near. I just had to get a drink. My mouth was so dry then. He just leaned over me and grabbed himself a Mac. I looked around, I panicked.
[17:45.440 -> 17:46.420] There was no drink near me.
[17:46.420 -> 17:47.260] I was like, shit.
[17:47.260 -> 17:48.100] Oh shit.
[17:48.100 -> 17:50.120] What were you asking me?
[17:50.120 -> 17:55.120] We're talking about Hamilton.
[17:55.220 -> 17:57.140] Lewis Hamilton, man.
[17:57.140 -> 17:58.460] Fully mind games.
[17:58.460 -> 18:01.340] I think he's just, after last season, he just,
[18:01.340 -> 18:03.420] it's been an unfortunate combo for him.
[18:03.420 -> 18:09.440] Like he lost last season. Some would say say unfairly and now he's coming to 2022 with a car that isn't
[18:09.440 -> 18:14.280] very good. Now both of those is like double hit double whammy against your
[18:14.280 -> 18:18.120] ego yeah against your abilities plus you've got a new team member he's got
[18:18.120 -> 18:21.880] like three things going on right now new young team member who's really like
[18:21.880 -> 18:26.480] really good. And also they'll be putting so much resources and love into George and he'll be able to
[18:26.480 -> 18:30.360] watch that because George is for the future there. They need George. They almost need
[18:30.360 -> 18:35.520] George happier than they need Lewis because George is on the long run there and he's like
[18:35.520 -> 18:40.840] their prodigy. So if he's not happy, they're in trouble because if they were to lose like
[18:40.840 -> 18:43.640] George as well, then they'd be stuck with no one.
[18:43.640 -> 18:48.160] George is the future. Lewis probably may not return after this year, who knows.
[18:48.160 -> 18:50.960] Oh no, he'll definitely battle a few more years for that ape.
[18:50.960 -> 18:51.520] Do you think?
[18:51.520 -> 18:51.840] Yeah.
[18:51.840 -> 18:52.320] Do you think?
[18:52.320 -> 18:53.440] Lewis ain't going anywhere.
[18:53.440 -> 18:54.720] There's a lot of talk.
[18:54.720 -> 18:55.200] Nah.
[18:55.200 -> 18:56.320] He's nearing 40 I think.
[18:56.320 -> 18:59.200] Lewis ain't going anywhere, but I did say earlier I thought it'd be really funny if
[18:59.200 -> 19:03.680] randomly if in his press conference he just started like changed his personality completely,
[19:03.680 -> 19:05.840] just started chucking out loads of jokes or something
[19:05.840 -> 19:06.960] yeah he's quite a serious guy
[19:06.960 -> 19:08.960] started like swearing and rinsing everyone
[19:08.960 -> 19:12.960] I get he's well serious and I get there really switched on but imagine how funny it'd be in an interview
[19:12.960 -> 19:16.880] he just completely changes it and goes mental about someone
[19:16.880 -> 19:18.880] I'd like that I'd like to see a bit of fight talk from Hamilton again
[19:18.880 -> 19:22.560] I reckon we'll start to get a little bit of fight talk later on into the year
[19:22.560 -> 19:24.560] I think we're gonna have quite some battles here
[19:24.560 -> 19:25.760] we'll see.
[19:25.760 -> 19:27.440] You know what, it's really nice seeing Jenson Button
[19:27.440 -> 19:28.720] doing all this commentary.
[19:28.720 -> 19:30.200] He lives out in America, I didn't know that.
[19:30.200 -> 19:31.040] Did you know that?
[19:31.040 -> 19:32.280] Love Jenson Button, my mum loves Jenson Button.
[19:32.280 -> 19:34.520] Yeah, I love Jenson Button.
[19:34.520 -> 19:35.920] Esteban Ocon.
[19:35.920 -> 19:37.680] Esteban Ocon.
[19:37.680 -> 19:39.360] Had a good race?
[19:39.360 -> 19:40.400] Yeah, had a great race.
[19:40.400 -> 19:42.520] Where did he come, was it eighth?
[19:42.520 -> 19:44.080] I don't know, it was open you knew.
[19:44.080 -> 19:45.360] Okay, well carry on talking.
[19:45.360 -> 19:49.600] Alex Albon, another one with a great race last week he stayed out on the
[19:49.600 -> 19:54.360] hards and managed to do an unbelievable and get points somehow just finished
[19:54.360 -> 19:57.440] tenth this week he's got points staying out on the hards again the hard
[19:57.440 -> 20:00.920] techniques worked the hard techniques seems to be working. He's secretly getting them points for
[20:00.920 -> 20:04.760] Williams and it's nice to see Alex Albon doing that yeah yeah so Esteban
[20:04.760 -> 20:06.040] Ocon in eighth.
[20:06.040 -> 20:07.240] He's having a good season as well.
[20:07.240 -> 20:09.920] Nice little finish up for the Alpine driver.
[20:09.920 -> 20:12.600] Shame what happened to Alonso.
[20:12.600 -> 20:13.560] Guttin'.
[20:13.560 -> 20:15.040] A superb driver.
[20:15.040 -> 20:18.040] Yeah, Bottas had a little bit of a shambles bit, didn't he?
[20:18.040 -> 20:20.480] Because at one point I thought Bottas might get up there.
[20:20.480 -> 20:21.880] He's a bit of a shifter, isn't he?
[20:21.880 -> 20:23.560] Yeah, I know, I was about to text Will, like,
[20:23.560 -> 20:27.480] get worried, Bottas is coming. If he wins, he's got to get a tattoo.
[20:27.480 -> 20:30.320] But then he just span out when both Mercedes went round.
[20:30.320 -> 20:32.280] I want that to happen so bad.
[20:32.280 -> 20:35.880] Remember everyone, if Bottas gets a win this season,
[20:35.880 -> 20:38.160] Will Buxton has to get a tattoo of Bob Assu-Bottas.
[20:38.160 -> 20:40.000] We can make the funniest video of it.
[20:40.000 -> 20:41.960] We're gonna, that's got to happen.
[20:41.960 -> 20:44.400] I had a prediction of George Russell to win in the rain
[20:44.400 -> 20:45.720] at some point this season.
[20:45.720 -> 20:47.880] And they were saying that it was gonna rain today.
[20:47.880 -> 20:49.600] And when he had that pit under his belt,
[20:49.600 -> 20:51.200] I thought if they suddenly rains,
[20:51.200 -> 20:52.360] they have to pull out wet.
[20:52.360 -> 20:53.520] I could win this.
[20:53.520 -> 20:55.560] And I was like, please rain.
[20:55.560 -> 20:56.920] I was just chatting about Alonso.
[20:56.920 -> 20:57.760] He came ninth.
[20:57.760 -> 20:58.800] He came right behind Ocon.
[20:58.800 -> 21:00.240] Yeah, Alonso wasn't who,
[21:00.240 -> 21:01.280] I know who you're on about.
[21:01.280 -> 21:02.560] You're not on about Alonso.
[21:02.560 -> 21:03.400] Gasly.
[21:03.400 -> 21:04.220] What, the DNF?
[21:04.220 -> 21:06.140] Yeah, it's cause he battled Alonso first
[21:06.140 -> 21:07.300] and then he fucking crashed.
[21:07.300 -> 21:09.060] Yeah, there was a lot to take in today.
[21:09.060 -> 21:10.940] I feel like they did good coverage today.
[21:10.940 -> 21:12.380] Saw loads of different battles.
[21:12.380 -> 21:13.220] It was great.
[21:13.220 -> 21:15.380] I felt like we saw probably the biggest jump
[21:15.380 -> 21:18.260] in like televisation of F1.
[21:18.260 -> 21:19.100] Yeah.
[21:19.100 -> 21:19.940] Like everything surrounding it.
[21:19.940 -> 21:23.020] Like it just changed a lot for Miami.
[21:23.020 -> 21:28.080] I mean, we were watching all the pre-race stuff like yesterday and day before with like the Red Bulls,
[21:28.080 -> 21:29.520] like they were driving those swamp cars.
[21:29.520 -> 21:30.960] Do you remember Verstappen and Sonoda?
[21:30.960 -> 21:31.800] Like they never would have done that shit before.
[21:31.800 -> 21:32.960] Yeah, that was cool.
[21:32.960 -> 21:34.600] I like watching Verstappen film something,
[21:34.600 -> 21:36.320] the thought of like a world champion
[21:36.320 -> 21:37.680] filming something on his phone.
[21:37.680 -> 21:40.480] Imagine that's you, he's got a video of you on his phone.
[21:40.480 -> 21:42.680] No, Miami's been an absolute ball.
[21:42.680 -> 21:44.400] You enjoyed W Series as well, didn't you?
[21:44.400 -> 21:45.600] Yeah, wow. Oh my God. Let. You enjoyed W Series as well, didn't you? Yeah, wow.
[21:45.600 -> 21:46.440] Oh my God.
[21:46.440 -> 21:48.260] Let's talk about W Series for a minute.
[21:48.260 -> 21:49.100] We were watching that.
[21:49.100 -> 21:50.600] That was unbelievable.
[21:50.600 -> 21:53.020] Like, I think it must be because the cars are lighter,
[21:53.020 -> 21:55.860] smaller and more nimble, but the way that they,
[21:55.860 -> 21:57.240] I mean, they were moving like I've never seen
[21:57.240 -> 21:58.860] an F1 car move before,
[21:58.860 -> 22:00.480] but how close they were getting,
[22:00.480 -> 22:01.320] the way they were moving.
[22:01.320 -> 22:02.420] That first corner when they were right behind.
[22:02.420 -> 22:03.260] Wow.
[22:03.260 -> 22:04.700] And how crazy on that last lap.
[22:04.700 -> 22:05.400] The tragic last lap, man. That first corner when they were right behind. Wow. And how crazy on that last lap. The tragic last lap.
[22:05.400 -> 22:06.400] That last lap.
[22:06.400 -> 22:10.240] She was first and then she ended up coming last on that last lap.
[22:10.240 -> 22:11.240] I know.
[22:11.240 -> 22:12.240] Shout out to Jamie Chadwick though.
[22:12.240 -> 22:13.240] I smashed it.
[22:13.240 -> 22:14.240] Won both.
[22:14.240 -> 22:15.240] Race one and race two for Jenna Racin.
[22:15.240 -> 22:18.720] We probably know more about W Series than about F1 because we've only ever watched one
[22:18.720 -> 22:19.720] race of it.
[22:19.720 -> 22:23.120] I was literally just about to say I know nothing about W Series.
[22:23.120 -> 22:25.780] You might have watched more than one race of it, but televised, I mean.
[22:25.780 -> 22:28.920] Yeah, I feel like I know nothing about W Series,
[22:28.920 -> 22:30.800] but for that to be the first race
[22:30.800 -> 22:32.640] that I've ever watched of it, fucking brilliant.
[22:32.640 -> 22:34.000] Yeah. It was a brilliant race.
[22:34.000 -> 22:35.720] I like the fact that there's some really young rookies
[22:35.720 -> 22:38.400] as well, there's like some 17 year olds in there.
[22:38.400 -> 22:41.600] Like it's great to see young rookies on that grid.
[22:41.600 -> 22:42.440] Yeah, no.
[22:42.440 -> 22:43.840] You wouldn't get a 17 year old in F1.
[22:43.840 -> 22:45.200] No, that's just really young. No, that's really young.
[22:45.200 -> 22:46.040] Yeah.
[22:46.040 -> 22:46.880] It's really young.
[22:46.880 -> 22:47.700] It's impressive.
[22:47.700 -> 22:48.540] I mean, maybe because, I don't know,
[22:48.540 -> 22:51.100] maybe the cars are more similar to like an F2 car then,
[22:51.100 -> 22:51.940] in terms of power.
[22:51.940 -> 22:52.760] I think they are.
[22:52.760 -> 22:53.600] I think they are.
[22:53.600 -> 22:56.920] But yeah, Jamie Chapwick seems like an absolute monster.
[22:56.920 -> 22:57.760] Yeah.
[22:57.760 -> 22:58.580] So we'll have to see.
[22:58.580 -> 22:59.820] I literally heard the name probably a couple of days
[22:59.820 -> 23:00.960] before W Series.
[23:00.960 -> 23:02.120] But she's a former world champion.
[23:02.120 -> 23:03.240] She's won it multiple times.
[23:03.240 -> 23:04.880] I think like three or four in a row.
[23:04.880 -> 23:05.200] Sick. So sick. So it's pretty incredible feat. 4W series that she was meant to be the best. She's a Formula 1 champion, she's won it multiple times, I think like 3 or 4 in a row.
[23:05.200 -> 23:06.200] Sick, so sick.
[23:06.200 -> 23:07.520] So, it's a pretty incredible feat.
[23:07.520 -> 23:09.800] A couple of cars didn't start off the grid, did they?
[23:09.800 -> 23:12.760] What in, oh no, they didn't, they had a bit of a problem with the gears.
[23:12.760 -> 23:13.760] Yeah, something like that.
[23:13.760 -> 23:16.600] But they're all getting used to it, it's a completely new experience to everyone and
[23:16.600 -> 23:20.400] also this was a difficult track, like you said, track temperature was 40 degrees.
[23:20.400 -> 23:21.400] More, more.
[23:21.400 -> 23:26.160] Yeah, how on earth do you keep things cool? Make sure you get the tires right.
[23:26.160 -> 23:27.880] This is, you have to be,
[23:27.880 -> 23:28.720] An Alco-Pop.
[23:28.720 -> 23:30.320] Arguably, you have to be like a scientist
[23:30.320 -> 23:31.440] to be able to look at all this shit
[23:31.440 -> 23:32.980] and be like, let's do that then.
[23:32.980 -> 23:34.800] Alco-Pop, that's how you keep yourself cool.
[23:34.800 -> 23:35.640] Alco-Pop.
[23:35.640 -> 23:37.200] That's how we've been keeping ourselves cool
[23:37.200 -> 23:38.640] because we've been having Alco-Pops
[23:38.640 -> 23:41.960] from the Sky Sports F1 Delivery Box,
[23:41.960 -> 23:43.040] hamper, whatever you want to call it.
[23:43.040 -> 23:43.880] Love it.
[23:43.880 -> 23:44.700] They sent us.
[23:44.700 -> 23:45.600] If you guys didn't see on our TikTok,
[23:45.600 -> 23:47.440] Sky Sports sent us a package.
[23:47.440 -> 23:48.280] Oh, it was super awesome.
[23:48.280 -> 23:49.120] For the race.
[23:49.120 -> 23:51.920] TikTok is at Pitstop, our Instagram is at Pitstop.
[23:51.920 -> 23:53.460] If you haven't already, follow the podcast,
[23:53.460 -> 23:54.520] give it a five star review.
[23:54.520 -> 23:55.960] Yeah, Sky sent us a package.
[23:55.960 -> 23:56.800] So sick.
[23:56.800 -> 23:58.480] What was your favorite thing in the package?
[23:58.480 -> 23:59.640] Gin and tonic cocktail.
[23:59.640 -> 24:02.280] Yeah, apart from, okay, me too, but apart from them.
[24:02.280 -> 24:03.720] And the pineapple cocktail glasses.
[24:03.720 -> 24:04.960] The W Series cap is sick.
[24:04.960 -> 24:05.000] And the photo we got. The W Series cap is sick.
[24:05.000 -> 24:06.520] And the photo we got.
[24:06.520 -> 24:08.280] My thing is the framed photo of the track
[24:08.280 -> 24:10.320] and it says it's in a nice frame.
[24:10.320 -> 24:11.160] It's in a nice frame.
[24:11.160 -> 24:12.480] And it's got Sky Sports right on the bottom.
[24:12.480 -> 24:15.160] We've got it on our little metal piece right over there.
[24:15.160 -> 24:16.400] And it looks lovely.
[24:16.400 -> 24:18.040] Yeah, it does look lovely.
[24:18.040 -> 24:20.680] Yeah, we had a lovely bit of sun earlier.
[24:20.680 -> 24:23.720] We went out for some drinks for the Grand Prix.
[24:23.720 -> 24:25.920] And we've had a great day, as you can tell by the intro.
[24:25.920 -> 24:27.480] We've been really excited for today's Grand Prix.
[24:27.480 -> 24:29.320] I liked it this time of the day,
[24:29.320 -> 24:30.640] but I feel sorry for the people around
[24:30.640 -> 24:32.000] some of the rest of the places in the world.
[24:32.000 -> 24:34.280] Like right now it's probably like 4 a.m.
[24:34.280 -> 24:35.120] or 5 a.m.
[24:35.120 -> 24:37.240] Yeah, I think they have to put up with that quite a lot
[24:37.240 -> 24:38.520] on the other side of the world, so.
[24:38.520 -> 24:39.680] Yeah, true.
[24:39.680 -> 24:42.080] It is nice having like a proper evening race for once,
[24:42.080 -> 24:44.800] but it's not nice having to podcast straight afterwards,
[24:44.800 -> 24:46.320] edit it, and then get it up for midnight.
[24:46.320 -> 24:52.720] Yeah, true. True. This podcast has to be short on solely due to the fact we have to get it up for midnight and it takes us like an hour and a bit to edit.
[24:52.720 -> 24:53.220] Yeah.
[24:53.220 -> 24:56.440] But we do have a really exciting guest coming on Thursday.
[24:56.440 -> 24:57.320] We do indeed.
[24:57.320 -> 24:58.480] So Thursday's episode is gonna be great.
[24:58.480 -> 24:59.960] Don't say a word.
[24:59.960 -> 25:01.040] Alright, I won't say anything.
[25:01.040 -> 25:06.600] Look, I'm not gonna lie. You said one thing in that live that we did a couple days ago and I saw someone write his name on the board.
