## Introduction:

The podcast opens with the hosts, Jake Boys and Fabio Bocca, discussing their plans to visit the Mahindra Racing Factory in Banbury, where they will have the opportunity to use the team's Formula E simulator. They express their excitement for this experience, particularly the chance to set a lap record in the simulator.

## Formula E Drivers and Performance Coaches:

The hosts discuss the fact that Formula E drivers typically do not have performance coaches accompany them to races. This is attributed to the lesser physical demands of Formula E cars compared to Formula One cars. As a result, drivers can train at home and do not require constant on-road training.

## Three Drivers Per Team Concept:

They speculate on the possibility of having three drivers per Formula One team, with only two competing in each race. This concept is discussed in the context of the rumored increase in the number of races per season to 30 or 32. The hosts consider the logistical challenges and potential benefits of such a scenario.

## Sprint Race Format in Baku:

The hosts discuss the proposed changes to the race weekend format for the upcoming Baku Grand Prix. The new format includes a practice session and qualifying on Friday, a qualifying session for a sprint race on Saturday morning, and the main race on Sunday. They express their reservations about the format, particularly the lack of a clear advantage for drivers who qualify well in the sprint race.

## Sergio Perez's Potential Success in Baku:

The hosts discuss Sergio Perez's impressive performance in street circuits and his recent podium finishes. They speculate that Perez could potentially win the Baku Grand Prix, especially if Max Verstappen encounters difficulties. They also mention Perez's long and successful career in Formula One, highlighting his resilience and adaptability.

## Hypothetical Scenario of All Drivers in Max Verstappen's Car:

The hosts engage in a hypothetical discussion about what would happen if all Formula One drivers were given the opportunity to drive Max Verstappen's Red Bull car for five laps. They speculate that Verstappen, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton would be the top three drivers in terms of lap times. They also mention Lando Norris as a potential contender, given his impressive performances in a less competitive car.

## Alonso's Podium Potential and Chances of Victory:

The hosts discuss Alonso's recent podium finishes and his pursuit of a race win. They acknowledge the difficulty of Alonso securing a victory given the dominance of Red Bull, but they express hope that he will eventually achieve his goal. They also mention Alonso's impressive record of podium finishes and his proximity to overtaking Ayrton Senna in the all-time podium standings.

## Upcoming Guest on the Podcast:

The hosts tease the possibility of having a special guest on the upcoming episode of the podcast. They mention that the guest is a "really big" name, but they need to get approval before confirming their appearance. They express their excitement about the potential guest and encourage listeners to look forward to the next episode.

## Conclusion:

The podcast concludes with the hosts thanking the listeners for tuning in and encouraging them to rate, like, and follow the podcast. They also mention the addition of new labels to their fastest lap leaderboard and express their anticipation for the upcoming episode.

[01:33.840 -> 01:39.200] podcast guys we've tried to keep it upbeat as much as possible but today is
[01:39.200 -> 01:46.120] a sad day all right it is well I, not today. I'd say it was probably about the
[01:46.120 -> 01:53.880] ninth of April. This all started to kick off. Woke up early. It was going to be a good day.
[01:53.880 -> 01:57.240] Got myself together. I got in the shower, maybe had a little bit of breakfast, maybe
[01:57.240 -> 02:02.820] some AG1. Went downstairs, got my car keys, gone down to the seventh floor, down to the
[02:02.820 -> 02:06.160] ground floor, into the car park.
[02:08.280 -> 02:10.000] Unlock my car, get in my car, I'm going out. Fab's going out, early morning.
[02:10.000 -> 02:11.000] Can't wait to attack the day.
[02:11.000 -> 02:13.440] We spend so much time in the flat.
[02:13.440 -> 02:15.920] It was a big deal that you were leaving the flat.
[02:15.920 -> 02:17.200] It was a big deal.
[02:17.200 -> 02:21.240] And I go to start my car, you know, the old Gulf.
[02:21.240 -> 02:23.720] The old girl, I call her, but it's a Gulf.
[02:23.720 -> 02:25.440] And Fab's Gulf didn't start. The car gelf. The old girl, I call her. But it's a gelf. And Fab's gelf didn't start.
[02:26.240 -> 02:27.840] The car is dead.
[02:27.840 -> 02:29.840] The car...
[02:29.840 -> 02:31.360] no longer exists.
[02:31.360 -> 02:34.400] The car that has done all them journeys just didn't wake up.
[02:34.400 -> 02:36.400] It does exist, but it's just...
[02:36.400 -> 02:40.080] She's just... She's a poorly girl right now. She's just not well.
[02:40.080 -> 02:42.400] So Fab gets to his car and it doesn't turn on.
[02:42.400 -> 02:45.680] I'm still asleep at this point. I wake up, I come out into the lounge
[02:45.680 -> 02:48.000] and Fab's told me his car doesn't start.
[02:48.000 -> 02:50.560] And I hear him playing a voice note from someone.
[02:50.560 -> 02:53.160] So Fab, who did you decide to call upon?
[02:53.160 -> 02:55.080] Who was your first port of call
[02:55.080 -> 02:56.680] when your car was broken down?
[02:56.680 -> 02:58.960] Listen, all right, in a time of need,
[02:58.960 -> 03:01.400] you have to call upon certain people around you,
[03:01.400 -> 03:02.880] people that can help you out.
[03:02.880 -> 03:04.760] I needed aid, okay.
[03:04.760 -> 03:09.880] From top, top quality as well. Top top tier, so I decided to call two-time world
[03:09.880 -> 03:15.400] champion Callum Nicholas. Let's go! Cal gave some pretty good advice, didn't he?
[03:15.400 -> 03:20.120] I love the voice, play one of the voice notes. I feel like Cal had to kind of dumb
[03:20.120 -> 03:23.440] it down a bit for me because he realized who he was talking to so I don't know
[03:23.440 -> 03:25.560] which voice note it is. Yeah if it's just the battery yeah just some jump leads just red terminal to red terminal
[03:25.560 -> 03:26.560] to black terminal to black terminal make sure the other cars are running.
[03:26.560 -> 03:37.880] I'm so glad that he said that because I would have been like you know it probably goes red
[03:37.880 -> 03:41.280] to black and he says make sure the car's running when you do it.
[03:41.280 -> 03:42.680] I probably would have done that.
[03:42.680 -> 03:46.720] We texted and we have no one in London to help us jumpstart the car. So Fab texted
[03:46.720 -> 03:49.360] the neighbours, the neighbours that we don't think like us.
[03:49.360 -> 03:50.360] Any reply?
[03:50.360 -> 03:51.360] No reply from Lisa.
[03:51.360 -> 03:52.360] You didn't get a reply?
[03:52.360 -> 03:56.960] No, I got no reply. However, when I used to text her, it used to be an iMessage and that
[03:56.960 -> 03:58.880] was a text. So maybe...
[03:58.880 -> 03:59.880] She's changed her number.
[03:59.880 -> 04:01.760] She's changed her number. She's playing hard to get.
[04:01.760 -> 04:03.240] She's changed... or she's blocked you.
[04:03.240 -> 04:04.240] Lisa, Lisa, I'm coming after you.
[04:04.240 -> 04:05.240] One or the other? I'm coming after you.
[04:05.240 -> 04:07.000] I'm coming after you, I'm gonna come knock on that door.
[04:07.000 -> 04:08.960] I don't need those jump leads.
[04:08.960 -> 04:11.360] We have no race in F1 this week.
[04:11.360 -> 04:12.320] We've got a bit more of a gap
[04:12.320 -> 04:13.920] and then we come back with Baku.
[04:13.920 -> 04:15.240] But you said to me earlier, Fabs,
[04:15.240 -> 04:17.720] that you've seen something really interesting.
[04:17.720 -> 04:20.200] Something caught my eye on Instagram.
[04:20.200 -> 04:21.800] Scrolling through Instagram stories earlier,
[04:21.800 -> 04:23.000] something caught my eye.
[04:23.000 -> 04:24.000] What caught your eye?
[04:24.000 -> 04:26.520] It was like being in the villa
[04:27.000 -> 04:30.240] It was like being in the Love Island Villa. You were in the Love Island Villa?
[04:30.240 -> 04:34.640] And my head turned. I think you'll do good in Love Island. I've always said that you've always said you'd never do it
[04:34.640 -> 04:38.840] But I think you'd do great in Love Island. I don't know why you think that. You would you'd be fine
[04:38.840 -> 04:42.460] I don't I don't think it's for me mate. No? No, do you know what?
[04:42.460 -> 04:46.700] I could do part of it like the lounging around and just talking shite.
[04:46.700 -> 04:48.900] But if there was a challenge where I had to like go out
[04:48.900 -> 04:52.680] in skin tight, like gold Y-fronts or something,
[04:52.680 -> 04:54.520] and I've got to like shake my booty all over.
[04:54.520 -> 04:55.740] Pretty much every challenge then.
[04:55.740 -> 04:57.440] Not really for me, to be honest.
[04:57.440 -> 04:59.640] But, all right, I'll tell you what then.
[04:59.640 -> 05:01.440] Let's make this a bit interactive, a bit fun.
[05:01.440 -> 05:02.400] Go on Instagram right now.
[05:02.400 -> 05:04.680] Do me a favor, go on Instagram right now.
[05:04.680 -> 05:07.080] He pulls his phone out. Yeah, phone phone out yeah I want you to head over
[05:07.080 -> 05:11.400] to Felipe Drogobic's story and he's put quite a few up today because he's been
[05:11.400 -> 05:15.000] testing in Silverstone with Aston Martin but I'm here I'm here you want to get to
[05:15.000 -> 05:19.240] the post where he's reposted it from Aston Martin's official account I'm here
[05:19.240 -> 05:24.560] it's a video and he's like getting out the car yep watching it so look at that
[05:24.560 -> 05:26.640] so Jake's now just watching a video of Felipe Drogobic getting out the car? Yep, watching it. So look at that. So Jake's now just watching a video
[05:26.640 -> 05:28.520] of Filipe Drogovic getting out of an Aston Martin.
[05:28.520 -> 05:31.840] What do you notice about that video in particular?
[05:31.840 -> 05:34.800] Because there was something that stood out to me.
[05:34.800 -> 05:36.160] Colorful helmet.
[05:36.160 -> 05:37.080] So now you-
[05:37.080 -> 05:38.280] He's got something on his knee.
[05:38.280 -> 05:39.160] There we go.
[05:39.160 -> 05:40.560] He's got a knee pad on.
[05:40.560 -> 05:42.080] There we go.
[05:42.080 -> 05:45.520] Filipe Drogovic is wearing a knee pad in that car.
[05:45.520 -> 05:49.920] Now, I didn't really know what the fuck this was. Did you?
[05:49.920 -> 05:55.360] Well, I've never seen them wear it like that. That's really obvious he's wearing it.
[05:55.360 -> 05:59.040] But I'm pretty sure that most of them have knee pads because imagine the vibrations.
[05:59.040 -> 06:02.960] Like your knees smacking together. Your kneecap smacking together would hurt.
[06:02.960 -> 06:05.760] But like, when have you ever seen it?
[06:05.760 -> 06:10.320] Because I swear I have never seen a driver get into a car
[06:10.320 -> 06:13.640] before a race or get out of a car before, like after a race,
[06:13.640 -> 06:15.880] wearing just one singular knee pad.
[06:15.880 -> 06:17.160] Because it's only on one knee.
[06:17.160 -> 06:17.880] Yeah, you are right.
[06:17.880 -> 06:19.600] Maybe he's got a bad knee, mate.
[06:19.600 -> 06:21.880] You are right, because you see all the videos of them driving
[06:21.880 -> 06:25.080] into the cars and that, and you never noticeably see a knee pad
[06:26.080 -> 06:27.320] I
[06:27.320 -> 06:32.840] Knew that you didn't you wouldn't have the answers. I know he's also driving the am-21. This isn't the 23
[06:34.080 -> 06:36.800] Really? This isn't the new car. This is the old car
[06:36.800 -> 06:41.760] So that could have something to do with the vibrations or something to do with leg position and maybe the seat doesn't maybe the seat
[06:41.760 -> 06:48.480] Isn't really built for this car. Maybe it's not comfortable for him. Well, I knew we wouldn't know it, so I texted him. I said...
[06:48.480 -> 06:49.440] Oh, you asked him?
[06:49.440 -> 06:52.080] I asked him, I said, bro, what's that strapped to your thigh?
[06:52.080 -> 06:56.080] He said, it's a knee pad to stop the legs moving around.
[06:56.080 -> 06:56.880] Okay.
[06:56.880 -> 07:02.320] So, for anyone, obviously, who's not looking at Filippo Dragobici's story right now, because it probably would have expired,
[07:02.320 -> 07:08.020] it's a knee pad, but it's on one leg, it it's like to the side of the knee the inside of
[07:08.020 -> 07:11.660] the knee above the knee it's more on like the upper left let me take it's
[07:11.660 -> 07:15.180] actually kind of above the knee look it's actually on his upper sorry if you
[07:15.180 -> 07:19.660] can't see you see how that circular bit so that that goes in in here in the gap
[07:19.660 -> 07:23.580] between his legs I reckon okay to stop them doing that yeah stop them smacking
[07:23.580 -> 07:28.160] with the vibrations I said so he said to stop the legs moving around so I said is that an
[07:28.160 -> 07:31.640] issue you face a lot in an F1 car like why don't they use it during
[07:31.640 -> 07:37.840] racing and so he voice-noted me back and he said this.
[07:37.840 -> 07:48.160] Hey mate, yeah I mean first of all most of the drivers use it. I think you only don't see much because they put just before they get in the car. And yeah, I think
[07:49.520 -> 07:51.520] it depends on track as well, but
[07:52.800 -> 07:54.800] For me I'm pretty used now to
[07:55.400 -> 07:58.560] This car so yeah, everything is feels normal
[07:59.160 -> 08:02.640] In Silverstone, there's a lot of G force. So probably the next is the toughest one
[08:03.720 -> 08:08.700] so he was testing Silverstone today and he says that Silverstone is actually a really tough track for the G force
[08:08.800 -> 08:10.320] and
[08:10.320 -> 08:14.000] Yeah in the beginning bit there. He said they put it on like just before the race
[08:14.320 -> 08:18.720] How do you think all I guess I gotta feel about us exposing every team with them?
[08:21.960 -> 08:27.480] I mean, there's nothing incriminating in that I mean I did say that I'm asking a lot of questions because I want to talk about it on the pod tonight
[08:28.560 -> 08:32.920] And then I sent him another one so and then I said so the drivers actually use it in the races as well
[08:32.920 -> 08:34.920] He sent me another one
[08:35.080 -> 08:38.320] Yeah, they do use it most of the times
[08:39.200 -> 08:48.400] I think every session they go to not all of them, but many of the drivers use a knee pad, knee pad, leg pad
[08:48.400 -> 08:57.400] if you look into some pictures from the drivers getting into the car, normally they have it
[08:57.400 -> 09:00.700] right so this is where it really fucked with my head yeah
[09:00.700 -> 09:01.700] why what happened?
[09:01.700 -> 09:08.120] because he says if he said at the end there if you take a look at some pictures of some drivers you'll see it and now I've seen drivers like on
[09:08.120 -> 09:11.880] podiums we've all seen racing drivers right but this is one of those
[09:11.880 -> 09:15.800] revelations where you look back at photos and something's there that you've
[09:15.800 -> 09:20.000] never seen before in your life. Is it the colour of their kit? So that one's white but I mean you can
[09:20.000 -> 09:25.960] clearly see it. Yeah but that's really old. They're old photos.
[09:25.960 -> 09:26.960] They are old photos.
[09:26.960 -> 09:27.960] They are old photos.
[09:27.960 -> 09:29.400] I haven't seen it in any new ones.
[09:29.400 -> 09:30.400] However, that is still Ricciardo.
[09:30.400 -> 09:32.080] That's Daniel Ricciardo at Red Bull.
[09:32.080 -> 09:33.760] Yeah, these are all old photos.
[09:33.760 -> 09:34.760] However...
[09:34.760 -> 09:35.760] Sneaker Rosberg.
[09:35.760 -> 09:37.480] However, what, do you reckon they're not using them anymore?
[09:37.480 -> 09:41.840] Well, Dragovic's using it today, but do you reckon that's because it's an older car?
[09:41.840 -> 09:42.920] The car isn't that old, is it?
[09:42.920 -> 09:45.440] I reckon also they could very easily have it
[09:45.440 -> 09:46.920] under the race suit,
[09:46.920 -> 09:49.280] or very easily built into the race suit,
[09:49.280 -> 09:50.440] or it could be one of them things
[09:50.440 -> 09:51.560] that's like in the car already.
[09:51.560 -> 09:52.640] And when they get in their seat,
[09:52.640 -> 09:54.680] they just put it around them legs themselves.
[09:54.680 -> 09:56.240] So you don't see it when they get in the car.
[09:56.240 -> 09:57.560] And then before they get out the car,
[09:57.560 -> 09:59.800] they could take them off and drop them in the seat.
[09:59.800 -> 10:01.880] Cause they do look a bit weird on camera.
[10:01.880 -> 10:02.700] They do look strange.
[10:02.700 -> 10:04.240] But I can definitely see why they wear them.
[10:04.240 -> 10:05.800] Wow, what an interesting topic.
[10:05.800 -> 10:07.480] Because after seeing that photo,
[10:07.480 -> 10:09.360] you've just shown me there of Hamilton with one on its leg.
[10:09.360 -> 10:10.440] I've never seen that.
[10:10.440 -> 10:12.060] Never, and I just find it hard to believe
[10:12.060 -> 10:14.160] that after watching F1 for like a year and a bit now,
[10:14.160 -> 10:15.280] that we've just never seen it before.
[10:15.280 -> 10:16.500] I mean, the only thing I can think of
[10:16.500 -> 10:19.000] is that they just don't really use them that much anymore.
[10:19.000 -> 10:21.780] But guys, you listening at home, did you know that?
[10:21.780 -> 10:23.680] Did you know these guys wear a fucking leg pad?
[10:23.680 -> 10:28.080] Like, I didn't. No, I had had no idea but it makes complete sense yeah it does
[10:28.080 -> 10:30.680] make complete sense because imagine how much your knees would be bashing around
[10:30.680 -> 10:34.520] and especially if you got hit on the side and your knees smacked into each
[10:34.520 -> 10:40.420] other yeah oh god that would be awful but when I sleep at night I'm a fetal
[10:40.420 -> 10:44.640] position kind of guy I know you like to sleep on your back on my back I have to
[10:44.640 -> 10:45.360] sleep on my back you have to sleep on your back. On my back, I have to sleep on my back.
[10:45.360 -> 10:46.240] You have to sleep on your back.
[10:46.240 -> 10:47.720] I have a routine.
[10:47.720 -> 10:48.560] Okay.
[10:48.560 -> 10:51.160] So I start on my back because I'm usually watching the TV
[10:51.160 -> 10:54.440] and then I roll to my left.
[10:54.440 -> 10:56.120] Then I spend about five minutes there,
[10:56.120 -> 10:58.720] roll to my right and then I finally roll over to my left
[10:58.720 -> 11:00.720] for the last, that's when I fall off to sleep
[11:00.720 -> 11:02.240] on the last thing.
[11:02.240 -> 11:03.080] So I fall asleep.
[11:03.080 -> 11:04.280] Can't you just start on your left
[11:04.280 -> 11:05.440] and just go straight to sleep? Or do you have to do the routine every night? I have to do the turn last thing. So I fall asleep. So you just start on your left and just go straight to sleep.
[11:05.440 -> 11:07.240] Or do you have to do the routine every night?
[11:07.240 -> 11:09.720] I have to do the turn because I get very hot in bed.
[11:09.720 -> 11:12.680] So turning right and going on the right side of my bed
[11:12.680 -> 11:13.800] is nice and cool.
[11:13.800 -> 11:16.600] Cools me down, lowers body temp.
[11:16.600 -> 11:17.880] Brad would like that.
[11:17.880 -> 11:18.800] Brad Skanes would love that.
[11:18.800 -> 11:21.200] Lowering body temp, like an ice bath.
[11:21.200 -> 11:22.640] And then roll back to the left.
[11:22.640 -> 11:24.360] Nice, we've got it all figured out, Ed.
[11:24.360 -> 11:27.000] Yeah, but when I sleep on my left, I have to put,
[11:27.000 -> 11:29.320] I put like the duvet between my knees.
[11:29.320 -> 11:30.640] What, because they hit each other?
[11:30.640 -> 11:31.800] Just because like...
[11:31.800 -> 11:33.480] Because it's uncomfy, a knee on a knee.
[11:33.480 -> 11:34.680] Yeah, yeah, uncomfy with the knees.
[11:34.680 -> 11:36.160] Well, that's how it feels when an F1 car crashes
[11:36.160 -> 11:37.000] certain organs.
[11:37.000 -> 11:38.200] I imagine the knees are pretty close together.
[11:38.200 -> 11:39.040] Yeah.
[11:39.040 -> 11:40.320] It's not like they're sat there with their legs open,
[11:40.320 -> 11:41.160] are they?
[11:41.160 -> 11:42.000] Their knees would be right next to each other.
[11:42.000 -> 11:43.400] The smallest vibrations,
[11:43.400 -> 11:44.840] your legs would just hit each other.
[11:44.840 -> 11:46.720] Yeah. If you put your legs next to each other and just
[11:46.720 -> 11:51.600] hit your knees. Did you ever see the video of Daniel Ricciardo's floppy foot? No. On
[11:51.600 -> 11:55.200] the gear, on the brake pedal. When has Danny Rick got a floppy foot? Is this old? Yeah
[11:55.200 -> 11:59.920] old clip when he was driving for McLaren but it was like a cam footage of his foot and
[11:59.920 -> 12:05.400] when he's driving his foot was like mad shaking. Oh really? I'm about to burp. Yeah, we'll cut that.
[12:05.400 -> 12:11.600] That's rude. No, just, yeah. A little bit of air. You've been on Google as well? Oh, here we go.
[12:11.600 -> 12:15.560] Fab's just, we've got a laptop in between us for today's episode because Fab wouldn't show me
[12:15.560 -> 12:21.680] something. When we, when Fab goes to these websites, right, we're on newsnow.co.uk. Is
[12:21.680 -> 12:25.360] News Now reliable? NewsNow is the shit.
[12:25.360 -> 12:28.160] So, I've never heard of NewsNow.
[12:28.160 -> 12:30.480] Well then you're missing out, mate, because, you know,
[12:30.480 -> 12:34.000] it just gives you links to, like, top trending stories.
[12:34.000 -> 12:36.240] So, top stories, latest news, most Reddit,
[12:36.240 -> 12:38.480] and then you click the link, it takes you to the corresponding website.
[12:38.480 -> 12:42.480] So what have you spotted on here today that is, like, talking topic-wise?
[12:42.480 -> 12:46.600] Pfft. One that I will dive into, which to be honest,
[12:46.600 -> 12:47.760] this is what I said to you earlier.
[12:47.760 -> 12:49.080] I can understand pictures,
[12:49.080 -> 12:51.240] but there's a lot of fucking words on this page
[12:51.240 -> 12:52.760] and I don't understand any of it.
[12:52.760 -> 12:56.200] But from what I've heard in the news recently, right?
[12:56.200 -> 12:57.600] Do you remember in Saudi Arabia,
[12:57.600 -> 13:00.560] when Max Verstappen overtook Lewis Hamilton
[13:00.560 -> 13:01.560] down the main straight?
[13:01.560 -> 13:03.120] I don't know if you do, because I don't,
[13:03.120 -> 13:04.280] but I just saw it written online.
[13:04.280 -> 13:06.240] So I guess it happened the other week. Yep
[13:06.920 -> 13:08.400] Saudi Arabia
[13:08.400 -> 13:10.400] before Australia
[13:10.760 -> 13:16.320] Basically, the Red Bull went absolutely flying past the Mercedes with the DRS open, right?
[13:16.320 -> 13:20.720] But I mean, I remember us saying at the time fuck me that DRS looks quick
[13:20.720 -> 13:21.220] Yeah
[13:21.220 -> 13:22.640] like fucking
[13:22.640 -> 13:27.160] Ridiculously quick and it is because the way Red Bull have designed their DRS looks quick. Yeah. Like fucking ridiculously quick. And it is because the way Red Bull have designed
[13:27.160 -> 13:30.480] their DRS, like the rear wing with the DRS open,
[13:30.480 -> 13:34.560] they get more speed with their DRS open.
[13:34.560 -> 13:35.760] What, than other cars?
[13:35.760 -> 13:36.600] Yeah.
[13:36.600 -> 13:37.600] Because it's meant to be the same amount of speed
[13:37.600 -> 13:38.440] for every car when the DRS is open, no?
[13:38.440 -> 13:40.960] Isn't it meant to be 18 miles an hour?
[13:40.960 -> 13:41.960] Well, the FIA- Extra.
[13:41.960 -> 13:43.120] I don't know, yeah, something like that,
[13:43.120 -> 13:44.240] but I know the FIA check,
[13:44.240 -> 13:45.080] because we've seen the guy in the
[13:45.080 -> 13:48.960] garages where they go up to it yeah and they run that almost like ruler thing
[13:48.960 -> 13:52.440] through the DRS to check they're the same size so if it's not a different
[13:52.440 -> 13:56.940] size what have they done? I believe that's where Red Bull have gotten crafty now
[13:56.940 -> 14:01.800] again this is all hieroglyphics to me so I've been looking at
[14:01.800 -> 14:05.200] hieroglyphics? Yep it's all Cajun. Where did you get that from?
[14:05.200 -> 14:07.360] You know, like, you know, in ancient Egypt,
[14:07.360 -> 14:10.920] on the pyramids, all the drawings and stuff, hieroglyphics.
[14:10.920 -> 14:12.920] Intelligent, intelligent man.
[14:12.920 -> 14:15.920] They, it's just all pictures here,
[14:15.920 -> 14:18.040] but as you can see here, so-
[14:18.040 -> 14:20.240] We got a, this is already a-
[14:20.240 -> 14:22.040] Yeah, we're observing a photo right now
[14:22.040 -> 14:23.240] of three different rear wings.
[14:23.240 -> 14:26.200] So Red Bull at the top, in the middle Mercedes at the bottom
[14:26.200 -> 14:32.500] And if you look at the side of the wing here Jake you can see that the bit where it curves up like that
[14:32.500 -> 14:38.680] This is technical talk right now. The bit where it curves up is much shorter on the Red Bull car
[14:38.680 -> 14:43.660] Than it is on the Ferrari and a lot shorter than it is on the Mercedes
[14:43.660 -> 14:46.000] But it's also more clear to see what Red Bull have done there.
[14:46.000 -> 14:48.000] They've, it looks like they've bent up
[14:48.000 -> 14:49.960] the back left of the rear wing
[14:49.960 -> 14:52.400] to create more wind hitting it.
[14:52.400 -> 14:54.440] So that when the gap opens,
[14:54.440 -> 14:55.800] it's quicker because that looks like
[14:55.800 -> 14:57.320] it's gone up to block the wind.
[14:57.320 -> 14:59.560] Whereas that's more flat for wind to run over it.
[14:59.560 -> 15:01.280] Mercedes is flat to run over.
[15:01.280 -> 15:02.360] Ferraris is quite flat.
[15:02.360 -> 15:04.640] Red Bulls is quite tilted up in the corners.
[15:04.640 -> 15:07.680] Yeah. So again, mate, is this, is this- Little over, Ferrari's is quite flat, Red Bull's is quite tilted up in the corners. Yep. So again, mate, is this...
[15:07.680 -> 15:13.280] Little things, man. Someone is in a factory somewhere, like, designing that and they're
[15:13.280 -> 15:15.040] making it out of carbon fibre.
[15:15.040 -> 15:22.560] Adrian Newey, mate. That is pen to paper. That is fucking Adrian Newey in a dark room
[15:22.560 -> 15:25.800] with a single lamp on and a piece of paper and a charcoal pen.
[15:25.840 -> 15:30.980] So what stops every other team on the grid coming out next week with the exact same thing?
[15:31.680 -> 15:37.120] You know, I know you're not allowed to copy the cars, but like surely they could like say well, that's clearly working
[15:37.120 -> 15:40.640] They got quicker DRS. Can't we just change the end of our rear wing a little bit? Because...
[15:41.160 -> 15:42.680] Is it just production time?
[15:42.680 -> 15:46.080] Yeah, you got to take it to the wind tunnel. Testing and everything would take forever.
[15:46.080 -> 15:50.680] And also, you know, you could probably shorten that part of the wing, but like there'll be certain
[15:50.960 -> 15:54.880] things about this one which will make the airflow over it perfectly at Red Bull.
[15:54.880 -> 15:59.360] You can also notice in the rear wing, sorry, I know you guys can't, but look at the next race.
[15:59.760 -> 16:07.820] Red Bull's rear wing, the bit where the DRS opens, that's very flat and dips down. That starts up and comes down significantly.
[16:07.820 -> 16:09.400] That goes the complete other way.
[16:09.400 -> 16:10.240] All of their DRS wings dipped completely different.
[16:10.240 -> 16:11.080] Funny you say that again,
[16:11.080 -> 16:14.400] because if you look at what you've just described here.
[16:14.400 -> 16:15.720] Oh, airflow.
[16:15.720 -> 16:16.920] See these sections here?
[16:16.920 -> 16:19.320] Again, sorry guys, got no idea what I'm fucking looking at,
[16:19.320 -> 16:20.760] so I can't describe any of it.
[16:20.760 -> 16:21.760] There's a lot of lines.
[16:21.760 -> 16:23.580] But it basically, the Red Bull car,
[16:24.960 -> 16:25.760] the short and curly of it is that the a lot of lines. But it basically the Red Bull car, but in the short and curly of
[16:25.760 -> 16:31.280] it is that the Ferrari and the Mercedes look more similar than the Red Bull does to the other three.
[16:31.280 -> 16:35.360] But the Red Bull is like a lot different to the other two. Well we've seen that McLaren with or
[16:35.360 -> 16:39.200] without the DRS is just horrendous because when it was had the DRS on the Williams and still
[16:39.200 -> 16:44.960] couldn't overtake it. Yeah. That is when you realize it's bad. I wonder how McLaren are going
[16:44.960 -> 16:45.280] to come back for Baku. Apparently they're bringing upgrades. But then this poses more questions about it yeah that is when you realize it's bad I wonder how McLaren are gonna come
[16:45.280 -> 16:48.240] back for Baku apparently they're bringing upgrades but then this poses
[16:48.240 -> 16:51.760] more questions about Red Bull you know is there is there other things that
[16:51.760 -> 16:55.880] they're breaching mate no no there's nothing wrong with that there's nothing
[16:55.880 -> 17:00.560] you can design your car how you want you can do that we give Red Bull a lot of heat
[17:00.560 -> 17:05.200] we gotta stop giving Red Bull so much heat but But I like it. They don't deserve it.
[17:05.200 -> 17:06.320] You know like when you like a girl
[17:06.320 -> 17:07.800] and you like take the mick out of them a little bit
[17:07.800 -> 17:08.640] cause you like them.
[17:08.640 -> 17:10.200] I feel like we're pretty sweet with Red Bull now
[17:10.200 -> 17:11.680] so we can like banner them a little bit
[17:11.680 -> 17:12.680] and they won't mind.
[17:12.680 -> 17:13.920] I don't know, I reckon they're gonna mind.
[17:13.920 -> 17:16.020] They just ban us from every fucking race.
[17:17.280 -> 17:20.400] In other news, speaking of rear wings, yeah.
[17:20.400 -> 17:25.000] Formula One, I've actually lost the fricking article,
[17:25.820 -> 17:28.540] but I was just looking at F1 Academy
[17:28.540 -> 17:30.180] because they've just completed their first test
[17:30.180 -> 17:31.020] in Barcelona.
[17:31.020 -> 17:32.580] Yes, yes, I've seen them posting about that.
[17:32.580 -> 17:33.780] That's good, that's good.
[17:33.780 -> 17:35.580] Have you taken much look at the car?
[17:35.580 -> 17:37.140] No, I haven't looked at the car.
[17:37.140 -> 17:38.060] I've seen some pictures.
[17:38.060 -> 17:38.900] I saw it come out today.
[17:38.900 -> 17:40.180] They posted today, the grid.
[17:40.180 -> 17:43.140] They said our class of like 23 is finally here,
[17:43.140 -> 17:44.500] which is great.
[17:44.500 -> 17:45.920] That is great. I am a bit confused though
[17:46.360 -> 17:51.600] Like where's W series gone? Have I completely missed something? I think this is just replacing it
[17:51.600 -> 17:56.120] So W series is gone now. I guess so. Yeah, that's a shame for my profile photo
[17:56.880 -> 18:01.020] Well, no because now you have like a like a limited edition vintage W series
[18:01.180 -> 18:05.880] If that never comes back mate, that like, that's some high quality shit.
[18:05.880 -> 18:06.720] Oh, well, let's see.
[18:06.720 -> 18:07.540] Thanks to Sky.
[18:07.540 -> 18:09.000] Let's see.
[18:09.000 -> 18:10.760] So I took a look at this, yeah.
[18:10.760 -> 18:12.500] So F1 Academy, they've just completed
[18:12.500 -> 18:15.080] their first bit of testing out in Barcelona.
[18:15.080 -> 18:16.480] 15 drivers, did you know that?
[18:16.480 -> 18:17.660] Mm-hmm.
[18:17.660 -> 18:19.680] Yeah, I know Prem has got a team in it,
[18:19.680 -> 18:20.760] which I love to see.
[18:20.760 -> 18:24.000] Yeah, so does Campos Racing, so does ART.
[18:25.800 -> 18:32.200] But I was taking a look at these cars right and on first impressions they look like an F2 car don't they? Yeah very
[18:32.200 -> 18:38.240] F2. F2 car, however on closer inspection take a look at that rear wing. Oh my god
[18:38.240 -> 18:43.440] that rear wing is completely open. It looks like an F1 rear wing but without
[18:43.440 -> 18:45.260] the DRS. Yeah that's's what I was gonna say. Surely
[18:45.260 -> 18:50.060] There's no DRS there or does that just mean they always have DRS because it's completely open. I don't know
[18:50.920 -> 18:52.920] Well, yeah, but less drag I guess
[18:53.040 -> 18:55.840] That doesn't look like an f2 car. It looks completely different
[18:56.360 -> 19:01.400] It's hot rodded as well. So the back wheels are much bigger than the front ones. Is it a new car for
[19:02.040 -> 19:07.400] This have they got a new car forever or is this like an older four car of f4 car for this? Have they got a new car for F1? Or is this like an old F4 car or F4 car, F3 car?
[19:07.400 -> 19:08.560] I wish I knew, mate.
[19:08.560 -> 19:09.920] I wish I had done that much.
[19:09.920 -> 19:12.980] We need to get someone from F1 Academy on.
[19:12.980 -> 19:13.820] Yeah.
[19:13.820 -> 19:14.640] And then we can figure it all out.
[19:14.640 -> 19:16.000] Who's gonna be driving an F1 Academy?
[19:16.000 -> 19:16.900] Abby Pulling is.
[19:16.900 -> 19:17.960] She was in W Series.
[19:17.960 -> 19:18.800] Jamie Chadwick?
[19:20.300 -> 19:22.120] No, Jamie Chadwick isn't in this.
[19:22.120 -> 19:22.960] She not?
[19:22.960 -> 19:23.780] No.
[19:23.780 -> 19:24.620] She's an Indy car, mate.
[19:24.620 -> 19:25.240] She is, yeah, she is, isn't she?
[19:25.240 -> 19:26.080] Yeah, she's an IndyCar.
[19:26.080 -> 19:27.340] That's epic.
[19:27.340 -> 19:30.520] Damn, well, we're gonna have to try and find some,
[19:30.520 -> 19:31.480] see, this is great though.
[19:31.480 -> 19:33.380] F1 Academy is great because like we've said
[19:33.380 -> 19:35.620] time and time again, we've tried to get like women
[19:35.620 -> 19:38.160] on our podcast, but a lot of the women
[19:38.160 -> 19:39.720] who are working behind the scenes in F1
[19:39.720 -> 19:40.920] aren't allowed to come on.
[19:40.920 -> 19:43.240] So if there's like female racing drivers again,
[19:43.240 -> 19:44.440] then we can get them on mate.
[19:44.440 -> 19:45.280] Yeah.
[19:45.280 -> 19:46.960] Love to hear that side of the story.
[19:46.960 -> 19:47.780] Be unreal.
[19:47.780 -> 19:50.120] And just to figure out, this could actually be really-
[19:50.120 -> 19:52.280] Yeah, we did try to get some W Series drivers on last year,
[19:52.280 -> 19:53.400] but we weren't allowed, so-
[19:53.400 -> 19:54.240] Weren't successful.
[19:54.240 -> 19:55.060] No.
[19:55.060 -> 19:56.880] So hopefully now everyone at Academy's watched,
[19:56.880 -> 19:57.800] we can get some on.
[19:57.800 -> 19:58.620] Yeah.
[19:58.620 -> 20:00.200] I was saying this to you the other day,
[20:00.200 -> 20:03.280] what people see on the outside is just like,
[20:03.280 -> 20:05.800] typically it's like the iceberg, isn't it? Yeah.
[20:05.800 -> 20:08.240] Like there's like an iceberg and like 90%
[20:08.240 -> 20:11.280] of what we're trying to do is like underwater and under wraps
[20:11.280 -> 20:14.000] and you guys don't see it, us trying to do everything.
[20:14.000 -> 20:16.280] And you only see the 10% that we do do.
[20:16.280 -> 20:18.360] So sometimes it looks like we do a lot of cool shit,
[20:18.360 -> 20:20.040] but there's a lot of other cool shit we want to do,
[20:20.040 -> 20:22.720] which we're actually, we can't, we're not allowed.
[20:22.720 -> 20:23.560] We'll get there though.
[20:23.560 -> 20:25.600] It's still only a year into the pod, isn't it?
[20:25.600 -> 20:26.440] Oh yeah, we've got time.
[20:26.440 -> 20:27.640] It's still only such a baby.
[20:27.640 -> 20:30.640] And we're learning, like, we're still learning so much.
[20:30.640 -> 20:34.080] And there's probably a lot of people listening that like,
[20:34.080 -> 20:35.840] I don't know, I've obviously been watching this sport
[20:35.840 -> 20:37.000] for a really long time,
[20:37.000 -> 20:39.120] but I do like the fact that we've got an audience of people
[20:39.120 -> 20:40.240] because we had a load of messages,
[20:40.240 -> 20:41.240] people messaged us and said,
[20:41.240 -> 20:42.440] they'd been listening from the beginning.
[20:42.440 -> 20:43.480] Like, that's fucking great.
[20:43.480 -> 20:45.600] Like, cause as you guys know, from the beginning, like that's fucking great. Cause as you guys know from the beginning,
[20:45.600 -> 20:48.520] we genuinely had never watched this before.
[20:48.520 -> 20:50.760] Like, and throughout the last year,
[20:50.760 -> 20:52.520] we may have been given a fair amount of shit
[20:52.520 -> 20:54.340] from people that see a clip who are there
[20:54.340 -> 20:55.540] and they're like, they don't know that,
[20:55.540 -> 20:56.380] they don't know this,
[20:56.380 -> 20:59.020] but the people who listened to this pod from the beginning
[20:59.020 -> 21:01.280] know that we hit this completely honestly,
[21:01.280 -> 21:03.840] like as two people who did watch Drive Survive
[21:03.840 -> 21:09.760] and think fuck yeah. And we've just learned and learned and yeah maybe we're not
[21:09.760 -> 21:13.440] researching and figuring out everything and maybe we don't know everything in
[21:13.440 -> 21:16.320] the world but bloody hell it is a laugh doing this.
[21:16.320 -> 21:20.720] You know what every every F1 fan has been through what we and me go through in their
[21:20.720 -> 21:25.480] lives. It's just that their experience isn't on camera.
[21:25.480 -> 21:26.800] And ours has been.
[21:26.800 -> 21:27.640] Yeah, for sure.
[21:27.640 -> 21:30.280] So it's easy to like make fun of us.
[21:30.280 -> 21:31.320] Yeah, I don't mind it anyway.
[21:31.320 -> 21:33.080] I don't mind, I got thick skin.
[21:33.080 -> 21:35.000] Especially on my feet, I need to go see a,
[21:35.000 -> 21:37.000] what's the thing when they like do your toenails and that?
[21:37.000 -> 21:37.840] Oh.
[21:39.480 -> 21:41.160] Pedicure, manicure.
[21:41.160 -> 21:43.840] Yeah, pedicure it's called, so that'd be nice.
[21:43.840 -> 21:46.560] You know what, I really fancy a little spa day.
[21:46.560 -> 21:48.360] Go get our feet done, nails done.
[21:48.360 -> 21:49.200] Wow.
[21:49.200 -> 21:50.720] Fucking face waxed.
[21:50.720 -> 21:51.800] I don't think we deserve it, mate.
[21:51.800 -> 21:53.840] I think we've got to start the year first.
[21:53.840 -> 21:54.680] Eyelash tint.
[21:54.680 -> 21:56.600] I think we've got to get some races out of the way,
[21:56.600 -> 21:58.480] figure out what we're going to do this year.
[21:58.480 -> 22:00.680] We could get our brows threaded.
[22:00.680 -> 22:01.920] I've done that before.
[22:01.920 -> 22:02.760] What was it like?
[22:02.760 -> 22:03.880] I've had my brows threaded.
[22:03.880 -> 22:06.000] Doesn't it make your face really red?
[22:06.000 -> 22:08.000] It was the worst experience of my life.
[22:08.000 -> 22:10.000] How does it work then?
[22:10.000 -> 22:12.000] We're going to talk about threading brows on a bit of podcast.
[22:12.000 -> 22:14.000] I've always wanted to know because
[22:14.000 -> 22:16.000] how do they just move a piece of string over your eyebrow?
[22:16.000 -> 22:18.000] Right, right, let me tell you.
[22:18.000 -> 22:20.000] Okay. Come on.
[22:20.000 -> 22:22.000] I went into John Lewis
[22:22.000 -> 22:24.000] because they had a stool there where I used to get my eyebrows plucked.
[22:24.000 -> 22:25.200] Bloody hell. Well isn't that smart? to John Lewis, because they had a stool there where I used to get my eyebrows plucked.
[22:25.200 -> 22:26.040] Bloody hell.
[22:26.040 -> 22:28.400] What isn't that smart?
[22:28.400 -> 22:29.240] Not all the time.
[22:29.240 -> 22:31.680] That is very grown up and smart of you.
[22:31.680 -> 22:32.680] Not all the time.
[22:32.680 -> 22:34.080] I did it in America once.
[22:34.080 -> 22:35.780] One of the lads was like,
[22:35.780 -> 22:37.200] I've only done holiday once.
[22:37.200 -> 22:38.040] One of the lads was like,
[22:38.040 -> 22:39.920] you should get your eyebrows done.
[22:39.920 -> 22:41.080] Honestly, it would look good,
[22:41.080 -> 22:42.920] because I had quite bushy eyebrows.
[22:42.920 -> 22:45.800] So I went into John Lewis and had him pluck once there.
[22:45.800 -> 22:47.780] And then I went in a couple of weeks later
[22:47.780 -> 22:49.080] or whenever I got it done.
[22:49.920 -> 22:52.560] And the woman wasn't there who was plucking him before,
[22:52.560 -> 22:55.240] but then there was someone there who was fretting him.
[22:55.240 -> 22:56.320] Bloody hell.
[22:56.320 -> 22:57.160] Right.
[22:57.160 -> 22:57.980] This sounds top tier.
[22:57.980 -> 22:59.400] It's horrendously painful mate.
[22:59.400 -> 23:01.880] It's imagine like a piece of floss,
[23:01.880 -> 23:04.340] like dig into your eyebrow,
[23:04.340 -> 23:06.480] literally tweezing out each hair individually with two pieces of floss like dig into your eyebrow literally tweezing out each hair
[23:06.480 -> 23:10.860] individually with two pieces of floss. So it's two pieces of... Well it's like one
[23:10.860 -> 23:14.160] but they like I don't even know what she did because she did it a tiny bit and
[23:14.160 -> 23:18.800] then I was just crying. Wow. Like excruciating pain right round eyebrows
[23:18.800 -> 23:23.060] never again. Oh god yeah right that sensitive skin around your eye as well. I feel like
[23:23.060 -> 23:25.920] it's one of them things you have to do a few times, because plucking your eyebrows,
[23:25.920 -> 23:27.240] that doesn't hurt if you do it, though,
[23:27.240 -> 23:28.200] but the first time.
[23:28.200 -> 23:30.960] So what's the point of threading an eyebrow?
[23:30.960 -> 23:33.320] How is it, is it better?
[23:33.320 -> 23:34.780] I don't know, maybe it's quicker,
[23:34.780 -> 23:36.520] or maybe it's more accurate.
[23:36.520 -> 23:37.360] Can they thread anything else?
[23:37.360 -> 23:38.600] Or maybe it's more symmetrical,
[23:38.600 -> 23:40.320] because you can do a line across the eyebrow.
[23:40.320 -> 23:42.160] I think that's one thing about it they do do,
[23:42.160 -> 23:44.600] they can keep it quite symmetrical,
[23:44.600 -> 23:48.080] because you can draw a line with it and then like go like that kind of thing
[23:48.080 -> 23:54.360] I don't even know what they do mate. So if what if if one was going to take oneself to John Lewis and
[23:57.680 -> 23:59.680] Was gonna get oneself's eyebrows
[24:00.520 -> 24:04.320] Whether you want to call it lace. Yeah, what would one have to pay for?
[24:04.300 -> 24:05.440] Yeah, wherever you want to call it laced. Yeah, what would one have to pay for?
[24:10.840 -> 24:11.700] 15 quid 15 pounds. That's not bad. Also guys other really sad news today. Oh
[24:15.500 -> 24:21.560] We know everyone hang on really? Yeah, I know about this Yeah, it's a bit sad like we know people were waiting for Australia on the YouTube series
[24:22.080 -> 24:25.300] And we're having a lot of fun filming them but as you know
[24:25.300 -> 24:29.240] in the last one we don't have capture cards so we've been screen recording the
[24:29.240 -> 24:35.160] Xbox it only goes for four minutes now we filmed it today and the same thing
[24:35.160 -> 24:39.280] happened to me again like when I was not when I had to press start stop recording
[24:39.280 -> 24:46.120] I bloody car crashed so the computer crashed me so we decided to get some capture cards
[24:46.120 -> 24:50.400] and then that series will be back so hopefully a week or so yeah it's not
[24:50.400 -> 24:53.920] really fair is it to play like that no you can't be stopping and starting in
[24:53.920 -> 24:56.440] the middle of a race imagine saying it's an F1 drive oh yeah you just got to pause
[24:56.440 -> 25:00.120] yeah just got to pause for a sec and also we could have been on for a good race
[25:00.120 -> 25:05.300] hmm so yeah we've actually had quite a lot of bad news today,
[25:05.300 -> 25:06.200] but we are-
[25:06.200 -> 25:07.100] Oh my God, we had so much bad news.
[25:07.100 -> 25:08.780] We are going to Mahindra's factory tomorrow.
[25:08.780 -> 25:11.820] We're going to Mahindra Racing Factory
[25:11.820 -> 25:13.500] tomorrow in Banbury.
[25:13.500 -> 25:15.060] Which is great, because we watched the Formula E
[25:15.060 -> 25:17.380] with them in Mexico, and they said that we can use
[25:17.380 -> 25:19.820] their sim, but not just any sim,
[25:19.820 -> 25:21.580] not just like a sim we have here,
[25:21.580 -> 25:24.820] the actual sim the drivers train on.
[25:24.820 -> 25:26.400] That is pretty epic,
[25:26.400 -> 25:28.440] because that's going to be the closest we've ever got.
[25:28.440 -> 25:29.280] Do you know what I want to do?
[25:29.280 -> 25:30.100] What?
[25:30.100 -> 25:32.160] The classic Instagram story.
[25:32.160 -> 25:34.800] If it's got the 360 like screen,
[25:34.800 -> 25:35.640] Yeah.
[25:35.640 -> 25:36.680] and you're in a massive dark room,
[25:36.680 -> 25:38.360] if it is, I don't know if it will be like that for Formula E,
[25:38.360 -> 25:40.140] but if it is, I'm going to take the classic
[25:40.140 -> 25:41.600] that all the F1 drivers do,
[25:41.600 -> 25:44.240] like, yeah, just in the middle of training,
[25:44.240 -> 25:48.080] just a little sim, I've got sim work at two. Imagine you step into that car
[25:48.080 -> 25:50.960] you do a couple of laps as a joke Lucas di Grassi's there
[25:50.960 -> 25:55.040] everyone's just having a laugh but then after five laps you guys set a lap a
[25:55.040 -> 25:57.440] record the fastest lap that Mahindra have ever
[25:57.440 -> 25:59.680] seen and then Fred comes over and he's like
[25:59.680 -> 26:03.920] fab that was so quick and he's like can you do that again and then he puts the
[26:03.920 -> 26:06.600] wets on and like you do it again quicker. Yeah
[26:11.360 -> 26:16.560] I'd be like and then they sign you up and next week you're in Berlin. I mean, I want 10 billion
[26:19.680 -> 26:21.680] Lucas degrassi out I'm in
[26:21.780 -> 26:22.620] Lucas Degrassi out, I'm in. Let's go.
[26:22.620 -> 26:24.920] 10 billion pounds.
[26:24.920 -> 26:26.240] No, do you know what?
[26:26.240 -> 26:28.760] I think Formula E, I would feel more comfortable
[26:28.760 -> 26:30.680] doing that and stepping in an F1 car for sure.
[26:30.680 -> 26:32.440] Yeah, because it's that little bit slower.
[26:32.440 -> 26:34.800] Yeah, so more actually, some more interesting facts
[26:34.800 -> 26:35.640] for you people at home.
[26:35.640 -> 26:37.600] Formula E drivers don't really tend
[26:37.600 -> 26:40.120] to take a performance coach to the grid.
[26:40.120 -> 26:41.040] No, why?
[26:41.040 -> 26:43.040] They have training at home.
[26:43.040 -> 26:45.000] I actually asked Jake Hughes about this and he voice noted me, but it was in the middle of another conversation, so I won have training at home. I actually asked Jake Hughes about this
[26:45.000 -> 26:45.920] and he voice noted me,
[26:45.920 -> 26:47.600] but it was in the middle of another conversation.
[26:47.600 -> 26:48.920] So I won't play the note.
[26:48.920 -> 26:53.920] But basically, the FE cars just aren't as taxing on the body
[26:54.320 -> 26:55.760] as they are to an F1 car.
[26:55.760 -> 26:57.600] You're not putting as many G's.
[26:57.600 -> 27:00.760] You don't, this is for a lack of better words,
[27:00.760 -> 27:03.120] but you don't need to be as in good a shape.
[27:03.120 -> 27:03.960] Okay.
[27:03.960 -> 27:07.680] So they don't need the constant training like on the road when they go back after a race,
[27:07.680 -> 27:11.520] they'll train with their trainer back in London or wherever they're from, but they don't take
[27:11.520 -> 27:13.560] a PT on the road with them.
[27:13.560 -> 27:14.560] Fair.
[27:14.560 -> 27:15.560] Fair.
[27:15.560 -> 27:16.560] Yeah.
[27:16.560 -> 27:17.560] Yeah.
[27:17.560 -> 27:18.560] I haven't seen any.
[27:18.560 -> 27:19.560] So that sounds like Mark Arnold's sport.
[27:19.560 -> 27:23.520] You can see where he's going after Formula One.
[27:23.520 -> 27:26.560] No, no, Jim would absolutely love it.
[27:26.560 -> 27:28.320] It probably is a lot easier to drive.
[27:28.320 -> 27:31.040] I would love to be able to feel myself,
[27:31.040 -> 27:32.340] the difference between, like,
[27:32.340 -> 27:36.880] I'd love to line up an FE car, an F2 car, and an F1 car,
[27:36.880 -> 27:38.920] and then just get to do a lap in all three of them,
[27:38.920 -> 27:41.000] one after the other, and just feel the difference,
[27:41.000 -> 27:43.640] especially between F2 and F1 with the power steering.
[27:43.640 -> 27:47.160] And then the difference between FE and F1
[27:47.160 -> 27:48.880] would be really interesting as well.
[27:48.880 -> 27:49.720] I mean-
[27:49.720 -> 27:50.540] FE would be quick off the grid.
[27:50.540 -> 27:51.640] We'll see Degrassi tomorrow, you can ask him,
[27:51.640 -> 27:52.940] because he's raced in F1.
[27:52.940 -> 27:53.780] Yeah, he has.
[27:53.780 -> 27:55.000] Yeah, of course he has, yeah.
[27:55.000 -> 27:57.760] For Virgin, which again, massive talking point,
[27:57.760 -> 27:59.200] because it was only a few months ago,
[27:59.200 -> 28:00.560] you and me are sort of saying like-
[28:00.560 -> 28:03.040] There's not many brands in F1 that aren't car brands.
[28:03.040 -> 28:03.880] And you were saying-
[28:03.880 -> 28:04.700] Virgin aren't.
[28:04.700 -> 28:05.760] You were saying like Amazon and stuff will probably come in at1 that aren't car brands. And you were saying, you were saying like Amazon and stuff
[28:05.760 -> 28:07.200] will probably come in at some point.
[28:07.200 -> 28:08.040] Just never even thought of Virgin.
[28:08.040 -> 28:10.720] I think Virgin would actually be a great one to come back.
[28:10.720 -> 28:13.080] But I just think they maybe stepped in at the wrong time.
[28:13.080 -> 28:14.940] Like, because they're such a big brand,
[28:14.940 -> 28:17.200] they would have benefited from like the media now.
[28:17.200 -> 28:19.400] I think now is the right time.
[28:19.400 -> 28:21.520] And I reckon there's a lot of talks going on.
[28:21.520 -> 28:23.840] Like we only know about like the Porsche stuff
[28:23.840 -> 28:28.520] and the Audi stuff that was happening. So much going on behind the scenes, mate. There's a lot of people with a lot of talks going on like we only know about like the Porsche stuff and the Audi stuff that was happening so much there's a lot of people with a lot
[28:28.520 -> 28:32.120] of money saying we want in there will be drivers on this grid that already know
[28:32.120 -> 28:35.240] they've probably not gonna see next year they probably already know they're being
[28:35.240 -> 28:39.720] replaced that's that's what's nuts about it so you know we talk about like you
[28:39.720 -> 28:43.320] talk about three drivers per team and stuff was it my dad a comment no yeah I
[28:43.320 -> 28:46.080] said I said if every team had three drivers so team and stuff. Or was it my dad? I can't remember. No, yeah, I said, I said if every team had three drivers.
[28:46.080 -> 28:47.680] So if they were-
[28:47.680 -> 28:49.240] They technically do, they have reserve.
[28:49.240 -> 28:53.320] If they were to like take Formula One nuts,
[28:53.320 -> 28:56.720] and you mentioned they want to do like 30 races a year.
[28:56.720 -> 28:59.040] I saw something from, yeah,
[28:59.040 -> 29:02.000] Stefano Dominicano said something like 32 races a year,
[29:02.000 -> 29:03.200] and that was when they were talking about
[29:03.200 -> 29:04.720] dropping the Friday, I'm pretty sure.
[29:04.720 -> 29:06.320] So if they drop the Friday but imagine if
[29:06.320 -> 29:10.760] they start piling up these races more countries want in to F1 all of a sudden
[29:10.760 -> 29:14.560] you've got brand new tracks all over the gaff but they still keep the old ones as
[29:14.560 -> 29:18.720] well so you're doing like 35 races a year. Would a driver want to do that many
[29:18.720 -> 29:25.620] though? So three people per team but only two people go out. And the third one is on a rotation.
[29:25.620 -> 29:26.460] So.
[29:28.140 -> 29:30.000] Is it unnecessary though?
[29:30.000 -> 29:31.800] And then the other two drivers would say,
[29:31.800 -> 29:33.320] well, I want to race.
[29:33.320 -> 29:35.240] They'd have to pick, they'd argue over which race.
[29:35.240 -> 29:36.780] Like would it work?
[29:36.780 -> 29:38.780] There's a big change coming with Baku.
[29:38.780 -> 29:39.620] You told me earlier.
[29:39.620 -> 29:40.440] The sprint race.
[29:40.440 -> 29:41.880] Yeah, what's that format?
[29:41.880 -> 29:43.640] I don't know if it's definitely in Baku.
[29:43.640 -> 29:44.480] Oh really?
[29:44.480 -> 29:49.000] But I think the idea is to change the Friday a bit.
[29:49.000 -> 29:52.200] So Friday is a practice and then a quali
[29:52.200 -> 29:54.240] for the main race on the Sunday.
[29:54.240 -> 29:56.720] On the Saturday, there's a quali for the sprint
[29:56.720 -> 29:59.560] in the morning and then the sprint in the afternoon.
[29:59.560 -> 30:01.400] And then when it comes to the feature race,
[30:01.400 -> 30:04.620] main race day, obviously you qualied on Friday.
[30:04.620 -> 30:05.560] So the sprint
[30:05.560 -> 30:10.000] doesn't dictate where you are in the race. I don't know if I like that. Unless they do
[30:10.000 -> 30:11.360] a reverse grid.
[30:11.360 -> 30:17.600] F1 with a reverse grid would be chaos because then you'd start seeing so many points coming
[30:17.600 -> 30:19.680] from the other teams that don't normally get it.
[30:19.680 -> 30:24.160] There's no fucking K-Mag down the front and it all kicking off at Hulkenberg.
[30:24.160 -> 30:26.080] I still think that Stappen would catch everyone
[30:26.080 -> 30:30.720] yeah he would. I still, because he'd start 10th wouldn't he because Paul is 10th and
[30:30.720 -> 30:33.480] Verstappen from 10th let's be honest when you watch him it takes him a couple of
[30:33.480 -> 30:38.600] laps to get seconds out of the whole field so he'd probably catch everyone pretty quick
[30:38.600 -> 30:43.280] he was and I saw an epic graphic and I haven't saved it but about the red ball
[30:43.280 -> 30:49.500] about Sergio Perez in the red ball it was like the places he had gained in the last,
[30:49.500 -> 30:51.240] or in a certain amount of races,
[30:51.240 -> 30:53.440] from like P20 to P5 again,
[30:53.440 -> 30:56.120] in another race P20 to P5.
[30:56.120 -> 30:58.660] And also Baku is technically a street circuit.
[30:58.660 -> 30:59.500] Yep.
[30:59.500 -> 31:00.480] Who's amazing at street circuits?
[31:00.480 -> 31:01.440] Check.
[31:01.440 -> 31:02.760] So Sergio Perez.
[31:02.760 -> 31:03.600] And Fab.
[31:03.600 -> 31:06.440] Yeah, and Fab, no no that castle and a long bloody
[31:06.440 -> 31:10.320] castle and back who is dreaded wearing an Alonzo T you are wearing an Alonzo T
[31:10.320 -> 31:14.000] and I'm wearing a quadrant jumper shout out Park Fermet for sending us some sick
[31:14.000 -> 31:17.520] gums I got an Alonzo T let's go literally says Alonzo on the front I've
[31:17.520 -> 31:20.920] got the Stappan one yeah Dutch lion mine says on the front
[31:20.920 -> 31:30.560] yes I wear that when I'm feeling confident I wear it all night when you go see a girl. Actually that won't happen because you won't see any other girls, just one of them.
[31:30.560 -> 31:35.760] I always wear my Alonzo one when I'm at home or on camera though because it's
[31:35.760 -> 31:39.040] sick so shout out to Park Ferme. See for that you're in your dressing gown.
[31:39.040 -> 31:42.640] You're in your dressing gown. But what's underneath the dressing gown?
[31:42.640 -> 31:46.480] Oh obviously the Alonzo shirt or the Aston Martin shirt, obviously.
[31:46.480 -> 31:47.400] Exactly.
[31:47.400 -> 31:48.800] Yeah, back who's a street circuit.
[31:48.800 -> 31:52.600] Imagine Sergio Perez goes out and wins now.
[31:52.600 -> 31:55.080] He would, if Max doesn't come second,
[31:55.080 -> 31:56.360] I'm pretty sure if Perez wins,
[31:56.360 -> 31:59.640] Perez would jump him in the driver's standards.
[31:59.640 -> 32:01.000] Oh shit.
[32:01.000 -> 32:02.400] Imagine a DNF from Max.
[32:02.400 -> 32:04.760] Just imagine Perez actually like,
[32:04.760 -> 32:05.800] like not running away a bit,
[32:05.800 -> 32:08.920] but at some point if Perez overtook Max,
[32:08.920 -> 32:11.520] that would create such a dynamic.
[32:11.520 -> 32:12.480] I'd love to see it.
[32:12.480 -> 32:14.720] That it would remind me a little bit of,
[32:14.720 -> 32:17.080] I absolutely love that YouTube thing
[32:17.080 -> 32:20.000] about the Silver Arrows, Rosberg and Hamilton,
[32:20.000 -> 32:22.560] the battle, the year long battle between them.
[32:22.560 -> 32:23.800] It's just amazing.
[32:23.800 -> 32:25.560] Yeah, I wish we were watching then.
[32:25.560 -> 32:28.160] And I would kind of really want to see that again.
[32:28.160 -> 32:30.360] And I do think Max and Checo would be two people
[32:30.360 -> 32:31.840] that could do that.
[32:31.840 -> 32:33.040] Do you know what did blow my mind?
[32:33.040 -> 32:35.040] Not that I'm saying I want him to argue.
[32:35.040 -> 32:35.860] I would love to see.
[32:35.860 -> 32:36.700] I would love to see.
[32:36.700 -> 32:39.360] Again, scrolling through IG earlier,
[32:39.360 -> 32:41.360] blew my mind, saw a photo.
[32:41.360 -> 32:44.360] It was three photos and it was Checo sharing a podium
[32:44.360 -> 32:50.920] with Alonso, three different occasions. and the first one was 2005. Wow. 2005, Checo looks about
[32:50.920 -> 32:55.920] 12. I was nine. I didn't know he was in the sport back then. Yeah that's a long
[32:55.920 -> 32:59.240] time ago. 18 years ago, I didn't know Checo had been going that long. Some of these people
[32:59.240 -> 33:07.680] look so good for their age. He looks like Tom Cruise. For Checo? Yeah. How old is he then? 35? Don't know. Something like that.
[33:07.680 -> 33:12.160] I have no idea. He's had a big career hasn't he? He's been at a lot of teams because you've got to think
[33:12.160 -> 33:17.840] back to Drive Survive, Racing Point, everything like that. To be fair, that's obviously the first time I've ever seen anything from him.
[33:17.840 -> 33:25.640] For him to be at Red Bull now after going through all of those teams, that's a statement. He must be good. Well, he is good, isn't he? He's clearly very good.
[33:25.640 -> 33:30.640] I just wonder how quick, I know we'll never know,
[33:30.760 -> 33:32.520] but it's the question that annoys me every day.
[33:32.520 -> 33:35.000] Like if you just let every driver on the grid
[33:35.000 -> 33:37.560] do one lap in that red bull,
[33:37.560 -> 33:39.480] then I'd love to look at the times.
[33:39.480 -> 33:41.760] Cause then you'd get such an accurate representation
[33:41.760 -> 33:42.920] of who is the best.
[33:42.920 -> 33:46.040] It's so hard to tell because of the cars.
[33:46.040 -> 33:49.960] Like I wonder, who do you reckon would be top three
[33:49.960 -> 33:52.520] in that Red Bull if they all went out there
[33:52.520 -> 33:55.600] and had five laps, every driver on the grid in Max's car.
[33:55.600 -> 33:58.360] Verstappen, Alonso and Hamilton.
[33:58.360 -> 33:59.200] You see, I love that,
[33:59.200 -> 34:00.560] because that's probably pretty spot on.
[34:00.560 -> 34:02.800] Potentially George though.
[34:02.800 -> 34:06.480] Yeah, George has got some pace. But definitely Alonso man.
[34:06.480 -> 34:12.400] I think Lando would be really up there though. I can't really gauge it to be fair. Yeah well
[34:12.400 -> 34:16.520] he's been quicker than McLaren when it wasn't great before. But yeah you are right it's
[34:16.520 -> 34:20.800] hard to tell you'd need to see it. But that's why the podium last week was so good. Three
[34:20.800 -> 34:30.520] world champions on the podium was what you just said. was it well you had Alonso Hamelin and Sapph so if you have that every week hmm it
[34:30.520 -> 34:36.000] could be a really good season it's cool because looking at a table of like
[34:36.000 -> 34:41.440] podiums Alonso is very close to overtaking someone for the amount of
[34:41.440 -> 34:46.120] podiums that they've got who is it is it Senna? Alonso already holds a lot of records.
[34:46.120 -> 34:47.120] Could be Senna.
[34:47.120 -> 34:47.960] Okay.
[34:47.960 -> 34:48.780] I could be wrong.
[34:48.780 -> 34:49.720] Probably I'm wrong.
[34:49.720 -> 34:52.040] Well, he's definitely gonna get more podiums this year.
[34:52.040 -> 34:52.880] Definitely.
[34:52.880 -> 34:54.320] I'm just hoping for that race win.
[34:54.320 -> 34:55.160] I'm waiting for that.
[34:55.160 -> 34:56.800] But then it does look a little bit far away.
[34:56.800 -> 34:59.240] I feel like, do you reckon it would need a mistake?
[34:59.240 -> 35:00.160] Yep.
[35:00.160 -> 35:01.400] Cause you gotta be realistic.
[35:01.400 -> 35:05.160] Even if Alonso goes pole, I know he can defend like no one else.
[35:05.160 -> 35:07.600] Can he defend for 50 laps?
[35:07.600 -> 35:08.800] Like you've got-
[35:08.800 -> 35:11.520] The thing about Bakus, they've got that long ass straight
[35:11.520 -> 35:13.600] and you know you can catch DRS down there.
[35:13.600 -> 35:14.560] Like for Stappen-
[35:14.560 -> 35:16.080] Yeah, but no one's catching Red Bull, are they?
[35:16.080 -> 35:17.400] Look, they're quicker in DRS.
[35:17.400 -> 35:19.120] They're quicker than every other car.
[35:19.120 -> 35:19.960] That's what I mean.
[35:19.960 -> 35:20.960] If Alonso was first,
[35:20.960 -> 35:22.800] you probably couldn't overtake him anywhere
[35:22.800 -> 35:23.800] apart from on that straight
[35:23.800 -> 35:29.880] and Max would just go straight past him. Yeah I don't know if anyone's gonna beat
[35:29.880 -> 35:33.320] Red Bull this season a couple of episodes ago I said I think they won't
[35:33.320 -> 35:38.040] win every race but after Baku I'm gonna review that because I do think they
[35:38.040 -> 35:42.440] might. Really? Well they won last week and they got stopped by Red Flag
[35:42.440 -> 35:47.320] multiple times and they still managed to win. I smell, I smell something fishy.
[35:47.320 -> 35:49.440] I'm sure there's a lot of fishy stuff
[35:49.440 -> 35:52.400] going on. I smell a rat. What's that from?
[35:52.400 -> 35:54.440] I don't know. I recognise that.
[35:54.440 -> 35:57.640] Gunnar McGregor in it. Yeah. Guys thanks so
[35:57.640 -> 35:59.240] much for tuning in to once again
[35:59.240 -> 36:01.160] another episode of the Pit Stop podcast
[36:01.160 -> 36:02.840] we've been your boys Fab and Jake. The
[36:02.840 -> 36:04.640] next episode could be with a guest we
[36:04.640 -> 36:06.720] have a guest coming to the flat on Friday.
[36:06.720 -> 36:07.560] Think about it.
[36:07.560 -> 36:10.320] No, a really big guest, but we have to get it approved.
[36:10.320 -> 36:12.520] So there's no guarantee that it will be
[36:12.520 -> 36:15.480] the Sunday, Monday episode, but it is a great episode.
[36:15.480 -> 36:16.960] And I think you guys are really going to enjoy it.
[36:16.960 -> 36:19.400] We've had to buy new labels for the fastest lap leaderboard.
[36:19.400 -> 36:20.240] We ran out.
[36:20.240 -> 36:22.320] I can't believe we ran out of people for the board.
[36:22.320 -> 36:23.440] That is so exciting.
[36:23.440 -> 36:25.360] Yeah, really, really exciting. I can't wait to ran out of people for the board. That is so exciting. Yeah, really, really exciting.
[36:25.360 -> 36:26.360] Um...
[36:26.360 -> 36:30.360] I can't wait to look back on that leaderboard at the end of this year and see who else is on it.
[36:30.360 -> 36:31.860] Yeah, you're gonna love the next guest.
[36:31.860 -> 36:34.360] Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for listening to the Pit Stop Podcast.
