[01:18.920 -> 01:23.960] Welcome back to the Pit Stop podcast.
[01:23.960 -> 01:26.960] Today we are bringing you a bonus episode.
[01:26.960 -> 01:33.680] We had no idea we were going to be doing a podcast today, but last night was crazy.
[01:33.680 -> 01:36.760] So we wanted to sit down and tell you all about it.
[01:36.760 -> 01:38.720] What a weird scenario.
[01:38.720 -> 01:40.400] We're both hanging a bit too.
[01:40.400 -> 01:43.080] Oh yeah, we should probably add we're hanging out our ass.
[01:43.080 -> 02:06.200] My head's pounding and your voice coming through these headphones into my cranium is really it so funny and someone commented and they said literally last episode you had said you're
[02:06.200 -> 02:12.240] gonna go to an F1 event and not know anyone's names and it's pretty much exactly what happened
[02:12.240 -> 02:17.360] so we're gonna tell the story precisely what happened we're like storytellers right now
[02:17.360 -> 02:22.280] I mean we knew a few people when we walked in it was a weird scenario we went in there
[02:22.280 -> 02:25.400] it was that like um well let's start from the beginning yesterday
[02:25.400 -> 02:29.640] We had no idea this event was even going on right? No clue. We had no clue
[02:29.640 -> 02:35.880] We were we had plans to just edit videos yesterday make some content and then out of nowhere fab gets a message saying
[02:36.200 -> 02:42.600] Do you and Jake want to go to wings for life tonight this charity thing hosted by Christian Horner and we were like
[02:43.680 -> 02:50.760] Yes. Yeah, so a little backgroundings for Life is a charity that they basically support people
[02:50.760 -> 02:56.320] with spinal injuries, vertebrae, stuff like that I guess is the best way to say it.
[02:56.320 -> 03:00.200] They do an amazing job at helping people you know in one of the hardest times of their
[03:00.200 -> 03:07.520] lives look forward and it was an amazing event and we'll definitely talk about it more but we had no idea about this event and then out of nowhere
[03:07.520 -> 03:10.560] we're going and we don't know what the dress code is we don't know what we got
[03:10.560 -> 03:16.320] to wear we don't have any suit or trousers or any of this stuff so we tried
[03:16.320 -> 03:22.200] to dress as smart as we could and I wore some trousers and a shirt and Fab wore a
[03:22.200 -> 03:26.280] shirt and we both wore trainers and we were probably
[03:26.280 -> 03:28.960] the only people in there with trainers on.
[03:28.960 -> 03:29.800] But it was cool, man.
[03:29.800 -> 03:30.640] That was cool.
[03:30.640 -> 03:32.220] They had a load of cars there.
[03:33.400 -> 03:36.920] They had a Red Bull car from last season, which was sick.
[03:36.920 -> 03:38.560] We saw our first Formula One car.
[03:38.560 -> 03:41.200] We walked in and it was just sat there.
[03:41.200 -> 03:42.760] And bear in mind, the whole time,
[03:42.760 -> 03:47.200] I have got a Red Bull t-shirt on under my shirt just in hope
[03:47.200 -> 03:52.000] that we meet Christian Horner and we walk in the front door of this place we thought we were there
[03:52.000 -> 03:56.160] quite early but when we got there there was other people there we walked straight in and there's
[03:56.160 -> 04:00.960] people holding trays of like champagne and people walking around with food and we just walked in
[04:00.960 -> 04:09.040] grab a glass of champagne. Moet, shout out to Mo way by the way Yeah, shout out there the people who got us out there and their champagne is delicious
[04:09.040 -> 04:12.520] Yeah, it was just one of them and shout out to Antonio as well
[04:12.520 -> 04:17.320] Yeah, big shout out to Antonio and everyone at wings for life. We absolutely loved being there with you
[04:17.440 -> 04:22.520] We'd love to give a shout out to all the drivers and Formula One people that we met but I can't remember their names
[04:22.920 -> 04:28.220] you can imagine me and fab standing in a room full of celebrities and famous Formula
[04:28.220 -> 04:32.600] One drivers and not having a clue who they are. I mean people were looking at
[04:32.600 -> 04:38.600] us maybe because we were in trainers or maybe we were hammered. I felt pretty
[04:38.600 -> 04:44.080] hammered after a couple of drinks. I actually didn't realize how drunk I was until this morning when you
[04:44.080 -> 04:46.600] start relaying some of the things that I said last night.
[04:46.600 -> 04:47.600] Yeah, you said some things.
[04:47.600 -> 04:49.360] I don't remember saying half of that stuff.
[04:49.360 -> 04:54.280] Mate, you literally on Damon Hill's phone, fucking followed Pitstop.
[04:54.280 -> 04:58.240] He goes to Damon Hill, yeah, we have a podcast called Pitstop and Damon gets his phone up
[04:58.240 -> 05:00.980] because Damon's actually shared some of our stuff before.
[05:00.980 -> 05:04.520] So he came straight out, got his phone and Fab was like, yeah, put it in.
[05:04.520 -> 05:08.080] Fab on his phone follows it and Damon just laughs he goes there you go
[05:08.080 -> 05:12.180] I was like the great thing about this Damon is that if you just type in
[05:12.180 -> 05:16.480] Pitstop in the top there that's the one yeah the top one just there and then
[05:16.480 -> 05:21.600] just click on the page and if you click this follow button right there see now you're
[05:21.600 -> 05:31.360] following us isn't that amazing? He loved it, he loved it,'s a legend. There was so many people in there. We actually need your help. We really really need your help. So
[05:31.800 -> 05:36.400] How crazy is this? We were at a table fab had Christian Horner sat behind him
[05:36.400 -> 05:41.320] I had Damon Hill sat behind me on Christian Horner's table was like Mark Webber
[05:41.760 -> 05:46.640] David Coulthard, but next to Damon Hill, so directly behind me,
[05:46.640 -> 05:49.680] there was someone who looked really famous,
[05:49.680 -> 05:53.080] but I don't have a clue who he was.
[05:53.080 -> 05:54.200] I just don't know who he is.
[05:54.200 -> 05:56.160] We definitely, we recognised him, didn't we?
[05:56.160 -> 05:57.600] He's got one of them faces.
[05:57.600 -> 06:01.560] He's definitely like an actor or a Formula One driver.
[06:01.560 -> 06:03.320] I actually thought it could have been John Travolta,
[06:03.320 -> 06:05.920] but I don't think it was.
[06:05.920 -> 06:07.760] Some people listening may know who we're on about.
[06:07.760 -> 06:09.160] He was sat next to Damon Hill,
[06:09.160 -> 06:11.280] so he may have a relationship to Damon Hill.
[06:11.280 -> 06:12.120] White hair.
[06:12.120 -> 06:13.200] We have really white hair.
[06:13.200 -> 06:14.240] Piercing blue eyes.
[06:14.240 -> 06:15.240] Piercing blue eyes.
[06:15.240 -> 06:16.080] Good tan.
[06:16.080 -> 06:17.280] I mean, I don't want to be rude,
[06:17.280 -> 06:21.880] but he was probably like in his late 50s, early 60s.
[06:21.880 -> 06:24.520] Yeah, really good looking guy, dressed really well.
[06:24.520 -> 06:27.800] Skin tight leather jacket. I'm talking like, skin tight.
[06:27.800 -> 06:28.800] Yeah, like a proper racer biker jacket.
[06:28.800 -> 06:30.800] That thing was wrapped around him like cling film.
[06:30.800 -> 06:36.640] Yeah, he looked amazing and we made eye contact with him a few times, we just don't know who
[06:36.640 -> 06:37.640] he is.
[06:37.640 -> 06:41.800] So if anyone listening has any idea who that may be, please do let us know.
[06:41.800 -> 06:43.440] Not that we can do anything about it now.
[06:43.440 -> 06:46.280] Well Damon said, Damon made a joke and said that,
[06:46.280 -> 06:47.400] it's my manager.
[06:47.400 -> 06:48.320] Yeah, yeah, you are.
[06:48.320 -> 06:49.880] He's definitely lying, man.
[06:49.880 -> 06:51.920] Yeah, so they, but they must be close.
[06:51.920 -> 06:52.760] Do you know what I mean?
[06:52.760 -> 06:53.580] Yeah.
[06:53.580 -> 06:54.420] Well, I went through Damon's follow him,
[06:54.420 -> 06:55.960] but I couldn't find him anywhere.
[06:55.960 -> 06:59.720] We're calling on you, the TikTok F1 community.
[06:59.720 -> 07:01.680] If you have any information about this man,
[07:01.680 -> 07:03.120] who you think it could be,
[07:03.120 -> 07:05.120] please, please let us know in the comments
[07:05.760 -> 07:11.360] so about 20 minutes into the event we were like where's christian horner and you know i was just
[07:11.360 -> 07:15.840] we were just drinking we probably had like four or five champagnes at this point cocktails all
[07:15.840 -> 07:20.240] the food that they bring over i was full by the time we even sat down the food was great by the
[07:20.240 -> 07:27.840] way tom carriage yeah that was it yeah Yeah, really, really nice food. Unbelievable food, mate.
[07:27.840 -> 07:32.240] And then we're standing there and I say to Fab randomly, I'm like, oh, there's Alex Alba and
[07:32.240 -> 07:36.480] Christian Horner and Damon Hill and like everyone. I thought you were taking the piss. Yeah, I know
[07:36.480 -> 07:40.560] you did. Because there was people between us. And when you said that, I was like, oh, yeah.
[07:40.560 -> 07:44.880] And then he turned around and they were just stood right there. And I said to Fab like,
[07:44.880 -> 07:45.960] oh my God, at what point am I going to around and they were just stood right there. And I said to Fab like, oh my God,
[07:45.960 -> 07:48.240] at what point am I going to go and ask Christian
[07:48.240 -> 07:50.200] if he likes the fact that I've got a Red Bull shirt on?
[07:50.200 -> 07:53.080] And I was so shy that I didn't want to talk to him.
[07:53.080 -> 07:55.320] And I'm like looking at my phone at this point.
[07:55.320 -> 07:58.000] And all I just hear is like Fab shout like Christian
[07:58.000 -> 07:59.400] or something, or just say Christian,
[07:59.400 -> 08:01.400] but was he walking past on his own or something?
[08:01.400 -> 08:03.760] Yeah, I was like watching him like a hawk
[08:03.760 -> 08:05.680] and he was with a load of people so I just thought
[08:05.680 -> 08:10.920] you gotta wait until like the prey is on his own before you go in for the kill and out
[08:10.920 -> 08:14.400] of nowhere he just became vulnerable and I was like let's attack.
[08:14.400 -> 08:16.040] Went in, Christian nice to meet you.
[08:16.040 -> 08:20.680] Yeah we gave him a little handshake, introduced ourselves and then I got a little video which
[08:20.680 -> 08:30.520] was going to be a photo and showed him that I was wearing a Red Bull t-shirt and the first thing he said was oh it's out of date. He said that it was just out of date
[08:30.520 -> 08:34.760] and I got a picture with him and I'm unbelievably happy about that because I
[08:34.760 -> 08:37.880] love Christian Horner he's the man so that made my night from the beginning
[08:37.880 -> 08:42.120] and then we just met loads of other cool people it was the most crazy event.
[08:42.120 -> 08:45.920] Do you know who is the man as well? David Coulthard? Yeah, David Coulthard is the man
[08:45.920 -> 08:50.420] What a what a guy he's hilarious, but like a super nice guy as well
[08:50.420 -> 08:53.780] I mean these got people are so busy right and they're at an event and
[08:54.720 -> 08:59.060] We're just two lads that they did have no no idea who we are. Do you know I mean?
[08:59.840 -> 09:07.040] But we were chatting to David for quite a while and he's a sound bloke. Yeah, hilarious bloke. Really, really nice bloke.
[09:07.040 -> 09:10.800] We obviously spoke to everyone about potentially getting him on the podcast,
[09:10.800 -> 09:16.960] but these people are, you know, very busy and we will do our best to bring the best guests possible.
[09:17.600 -> 09:20.080] But if we do go and land anyone like that,
[09:20.080 -> 09:22.800] we'll let you know and you can give us some questions for him.
[09:22.800 -> 09:25.400] I don't think it's that far away.
[09:25.400 -> 09:26.000] Do you not?
[09:26.000 -> 09:26.600] No.
[09:26.600 -> 09:33.200] Well, David did say like, yeah, send me a message and if there's anything I can do to like help bring new fans to the sport, I'd love to be on the podcast.
[09:33.200 -> 09:34.200] He wants to help out.
[09:34.200 -> 09:37.200] He specifically said to us, I want to help you guys on your journey.
[09:39.000 -> 09:42.200] Well, we tried to get Mark Webber on, but we grabbed him as he was running for a piss.
[09:42.200 -> 09:43.200] So it was a bit of a rash.
[09:43.200 -> 09:44.800] He was like, Mark, do you want to come to the podcast?
[09:44.800 -> 09:45.880] He was like, I'll just send me an email.
[09:45.880 -> 09:46.720] Just send me a message.
[09:46.720 -> 09:50.300] But you got to imagine two people
[09:50.300 -> 09:51.520] completely new to the sport
[09:51.520 -> 09:53.840] in this room full of amazing people
[09:53.840 -> 09:55.480] trying to figure out everything going on.
[09:55.480 -> 09:57.180] There was an auction going on.
[09:57.180 -> 09:59.680] You could like bid on all these crazy experiences.
[09:59.680 -> 10:01.740] There was like a day at the Red Bull factory
[10:01.740 -> 10:04.340] for like 10 people, which I thought was amazing.
[10:04.340 -> 10:05.000] And I desperately
[10:05.000 -> 10:08.720] wanted to win it. So I've gone there with you know a couple hundred quid thinking you
[10:08.720 -> 10:13.760] know I'll bid, I'll try and win something. Opening bids five grand on everything and
[10:13.760 -> 10:19.200] I just look at Fab like fucking hell. And I said next next year if we get to go again
[10:19.200 -> 10:24.380] we'll buy something. But we did actually, we did bid on something. We won something.
[10:24.380 -> 10:26.340] On the silent auction. Yeah on the silent auction, not the live auction.
[10:26.340 -> 10:27.180] So not the live one that was going on.
[10:27.180 -> 10:31.000] Did we tell them or do we wait until it comes and show them?
[10:31.000 -> 10:31.840] Yeah, let's wait.
[10:31.840 -> 10:32.880] We won something.
[10:32.880 -> 10:34.640] Yeah, well it's like, it's actually three things.
[10:34.640 -> 10:35.620] It's actually three things.
[10:35.620 -> 10:36.460] Yeah, it's pretty cool.
[10:36.460 -> 10:37.380] So it could be quite cool.
[10:37.380 -> 10:39.400] I'm very happy we won something, got involved,
[10:39.400 -> 10:41.120] gave some money to charity.
[10:41.120 -> 10:42.300] Just an amazing charity.
[10:42.300 -> 10:44.520] We're really grateful to be invited to this event
[10:44.520 -> 10:51.760] and just see how everything works within the Formula One world. The event was so like posh and high standard,
[10:52.480 -> 10:56.640] I just loved every second of it. We walked around, where was it, it was at the um...
[10:57.760 -> 11:03.680] It was at the Joe Macari or Macarid, sorry if I'm pronouncing that wrong, uh showroom, which is like
[11:04.320 -> 11:05.360] I think it's like between Clapham and Wimbledon.
[11:05.360 -> 11:07.880] Had the most unbelievable cars in there.
[11:07.880 -> 11:09.560] What a showroom, what a showroom,
[11:09.560 -> 11:11.960] it's massive for a start and some of the cars,
[11:11.960 -> 11:14.600] a lot of mainly old cars, weren't it?
[11:14.600 -> 11:16.320] But they were like gorgeous, man.
[11:16.320 -> 11:17.240] They were unbelievable.
[11:17.240 -> 11:19.680] We were just walking around admiring every single one of them.
[11:19.680 -> 11:21.040] I didn't want to go near the cars
[11:21.040 -> 11:22.640] because I was thinking if I scratched that
[11:22.640 -> 11:28.560] or dropped my drink or something, then it's game over. So I didn't even want to go near the cars because I was thinking if I scratch that or drop my drink or something then it's game over. So I didn't even want to go near the cars but we did get up close and personal
[11:29.120 -> 11:34.160] to an F1 car. It was last season's car. Did you touch it? Yeah I touched the wheel. I touched
[11:34.160 -> 11:39.120] and the rear wheel as well. I can't believe how wide the tires are in real life. I couldn't believe
[11:40.400 -> 11:44.400] like the way you always talk about the air going through the car when you actually get up close to
[11:44.400 -> 11:47.760] it and look under it and like around it you can really see how they build
[11:47.760 -> 11:49.640] everything to be streamlined.
[11:49.640 -> 11:53.080] Like there's all the bits under the car and all them side panels and that.
[11:53.080 -> 11:56.660] I'd never even really seen them until I got that close up.
[11:56.660 -> 12:01.040] It was a lot bigger than I thought, but then I don't really know how big I was expecting
[12:01.040 -> 12:02.040] it to be.
[12:02.040 -> 12:03.600] I thought the cockpit was quite small.
[12:03.600 -> 12:04.600] It was tiny.
[12:04.600 -> 12:05.440] Like how do you get in there?
[12:05.440 -> 12:06.280] The cockpit looked tiny.
[12:06.280 -> 12:08.000] Your arms must have to be so squished.
[12:08.000 -> 12:08.840] You can get my hips in there.
[12:08.840 -> 12:09.760] No way.
[12:09.760 -> 12:10.800] I wouldn't fit in there.
[12:10.800 -> 12:12.520] No way, cowboy.
[12:12.520 -> 12:14.400] There's no chance of getting the hips in there.
[12:14.400 -> 12:16.600] They are quite, I think all racer drivers
[12:16.600 -> 12:19.080] are sort of fairly small-ish.
[12:19.080 -> 12:22.520] Well, having said that, Alex Albon's a fucking giant.
[12:22.520 -> 12:23.480] He was world tall.
[12:23.480 -> 12:25.480] We saw Alex Albon, yeah, he was on the stage.
[12:25.480 -> 12:27.160] He was a really cool guy.
[12:27.160 -> 12:30.680] It was nice to hear him speak before the big season.
[12:30.680 -> 12:32.600] They played some stuff about last season,
[12:32.600 -> 12:35.600] played loads of amazing videos about amazing people.
[12:35.600 -> 12:37.360] And just what an event for us.
[12:37.360 -> 12:39.240] Last episode, Fab is saying,
[12:39.240 -> 12:41.480] if I meet these people, I'm not gonna know who they are.
[12:41.480 -> 12:44.520] And there's a video on our TikTok of Fab standing there
[12:44.520 -> 12:47.440] on Google, looking at famous motorsport people,
[12:47.440 -> 12:50.800] looking around the room, trying to figure out who is who.
[12:50.800 -> 12:52.600] And you got all these celebrities,
[12:52.600 -> 12:55.440] all these amazing people walking around.
[12:55.440 -> 12:57.240] And it was just amazing.
[12:57.240 -> 13:00.240] It makes me so excited to be in this space.
[13:00.240 -> 13:02.520] Obviously we weren't invited as a podcast.
[13:02.520 -> 13:04.440] Like we weren't invited because we do Pitstop.
[13:04.440 -> 13:08.680] We were just lucky because we knew someone that had some spare seats here. So it was perfect
[13:08.680 -> 13:13.580] Like the timing of it was insane. Yeah, hopefully we can get some of these events like as a
[13:14.400 -> 13:21.640] Podcast at some point and experience it again because it was just the most unbelievable thing Christian Horner is the fucking man
[13:21.640 -> 13:23.960] He's the one guy I really wanted to meet
[13:21.920 -> 13:24.300] Christian Horner is the fucking man. He's the one guy I really wanted to meet.
[13:25.200 -> 13:26.040] And-
[13:26.040 -> 13:27.280] We don't just want to go to these events
[13:27.280 -> 13:28.640] like just for the fun of it,
[13:28.640 -> 13:31.600] even though they are fucking really fun.
[13:31.600 -> 13:34.240] Like we want to be able to help out as much as we can too.
[13:34.240 -> 13:35.840] Yeah, we want to bring new fans into sport.
[13:35.840 -> 13:37.000] We want to help the charities out.
[13:37.000 -> 13:39.200] We want to help whoever we can possibly help out.
[13:39.200 -> 13:41.860] But what made me laugh is when we were leaving,
[13:41.860 -> 13:43.840] Christian Horner walked straight past Fab
[13:43.840 -> 13:45.040] going to get into his car
[13:45.040 -> 13:49.360] and I just hear Fab go again at this point, Fab is lashed, Fab's been speaking to everyone
[13:49.360 -> 13:52.720] saying loads of shit. I don't really remember doing this. You don't remember doing this?
[13:52.720 -> 13:56.480] No, I remember seeing him walk towards me but God knows what I said. He was like walking around
[13:56.480 -> 14:00.640] like looking for his car I think and you were like, Christian you off? He was like yeah yeah yeah,
[14:00.640 -> 14:03.680] he was like I'm going now, he was like two minutes, can I just get you for two minutes? And he come
[14:03.680 -> 14:06.000] over and you were saying about the podcast again.
[14:06.000 -> 14:07.640] And that's where he said, speak to my secretary.
[14:07.640 -> 14:08.680] Oh, speak to, yeah.
[14:08.680 -> 14:09.960] So we sent her a message.
[14:09.960 -> 14:13.200] And now we've just got our hope that somehow
[14:13.960 -> 14:17.080] Christian Ordo will come and chat to us for like five to ten minutes.
[14:17.120 -> 14:20.880] Christian, if you're listening, just make two guys dreams come true.
[14:21.880 -> 14:23.640] Please. Please.
[14:23.640 -> 14:26.840] It would be amazing if we could get someone like that because we could just ask all you
[14:26.840 -> 14:31.500] guys for loads of great questions and we could just fire them at him and I think we'd get
[14:31.500 -> 14:32.500] some amazing content.
[14:32.500 -> 14:36.040] That would be really cool if he knew that like a lot of people were involved and he
[14:36.040 -> 14:39.920] was like answering questions not just for us but for other people I think he'd like
[14:39.920 -> 14:40.920] that.
[14:40.920 -> 14:44.120] Or maybe he'd hate it but there's only one way to find out.
[14:44.120 -> 14:49.000] Yeah well this is a little bonus episode but whilst we're here we can talk about the
[14:49.000 -> 14:51.680] things that have been happening over the last week.
[14:51.680 -> 14:54.200] There's been a few things happening in Formula 1.
[14:54.200 -> 14:58.440] The main one being I have a promise that if Mazepin gets a point this season, I will get
[14:58.440 -> 15:02.760] a tattoo of him, and at the point of filming this podcast, it doesn't look like Mazepin
[15:02.760 -> 15:05.120] is going to be racing for Haas next season.
[15:05.120 -> 15:11.440] So I want to put it out there publicly now, I'm going to switch that to Mick Schumacher.
[15:11.440 -> 15:15.080] If Mick Schumacher gets any points next season, I'll get a tattoo of Mick Schumacher.
[15:15.080 -> 15:16.240] Are you joking?
[15:16.240 -> 15:17.240] Because I love Mick Schumacher.
[15:17.240 -> 15:18.240] Are you...
[15:18.240 -> 15:21.480] So, you're probably going to actually get a Mick Schumacher tattoo then?
[15:21.480 -> 15:23.000] That's good, I want a tattoo of Mick Schumacher.
[15:23.000 -> 15:26.560] It's better than my minion or my stickman or all the other shit ones on me.
[15:26.560 -> 15:28.400] I'd love a tattoo of Mick.
[15:28.400 -> 15:30.480] Really, you actually wanna get a portrait?
[15:30.480 -> 15:33.200] I mean, I like Schumacher.
[15:33.200 -> 15:34.120] But it's better than Mazipin,
[15:34.120 -> 15:35.640] even though I do like Mazipin.
[15:37.760 -> 15:38.600] Just trying to think,
[15:38.600 -> 15:41.000] I wonder if you could like mold them together.
[15:41.000 -> 15:43.440] So like Mick's nose, Mazipin's forehead.
[15:49.280 -> 15:55.920] Well, I have to do the best I can because my prediction's been wiped by the fact he won't be racing, which I don't agree with. I really want him to be racing. So not that
[15:55.920 -> 15:57.520] there's a lot we could do about it.
[15:57.520 -> 15:59.880] Hey, anything could happen. We've still got a month.
[15:59.880 -> 16:03.560] Yeah, anything could happen. We're getting closer to the season. Everything is getting
[16:03.560 -> 16:06.000] very, very exciting before Bahrain testing.
[16:06.000 -> 16:09.000] When is Bahrain testing? That's like a week.
[16:09.000 -> 16:11.000] Do you know what you're asking?
[16:11.000 -> 16:13.000] Come on! Have a guess.
[16:13.000 -> 16:18.000] Bahrain testing is actually coming next weekend.
[16:18.000 -> 16:22.000] I think it's the 12th to the 13th. I think it's the weekend, yeah.
[16:22.000 -> 16:25.440] Well done, fam! Let well done fam let's go
[16:25.440 -> 16:30.440] let's go people thank you God in other news big news
[16:30.440 -> 16:35.560] Max Verstappen has just extended his contract with Red Bull yes until 2028
[16:35.560 -> 16:41.000] another five years six years that would I don't know but it's still 2028 and
[16:41.000 -> 16:44.400] it's the same contract package like it's massive it's the same as Hamilton's I
[16:44.400 -> 16:47.680] think I don't know how much you get like the same contract package like it's massive it's the same as Hamilton's I think. Do you know how much he's getting? It's like 50 million in it.
[16:47.680 -> 16:52.720] Like a year. And that's obviously without sponsors too. They were joking
[16:52.720 -> 16:55.800] about it last night weren't they on the stage they were saying like how there's
[16:55.800 -> 16:59.760] this massive contract went through like obviously the day we were there. Oh I've
[16:59.760 -> 17:04.160] actually got a few funny points. Oh yeah that's what we said Fab wrote down some funny notes of
[17:04.160 -> 17:06.960] everything of everything people were saying on stage and that,
[17:06.960 -> 17:07.800] just because.
[17:07.800 -> 17:09.880] Not much here, but they were just showing
[17:09.880 -> 17:11.440] the new Red Bull car and everyone was like,
[17:11.440 -> 17:12.880] wow, that's amazing.
[17:12.880 -> 17:14.240] Can't wait to see it next season.
[17:14.240 -> 17:16.200] And Christian made a comment like,
[17:16.200 -> 17:18.200] it's not actually the car that we're racing this year,
[17:18.200 -> 17:20.120] you know, but it looks good.
[17:20.120 -> 17:20.960] Because they're obviously going to change it so much, right?
[17:20.960 -> 17:23.120] Yeah, it'll look completely different coming.
[17:23.120 -> 17:24.880] And also from Christian's mouth,
[17:24.880 -> 17:28.000] he thinks Ferrari are quote quote, going to wake up.
[17:28.000 -> 17:32.000] Yeah, I did. I remember that and I looked straight at you and Fab's just sat there thinking,
[17:32.000 -> 17:34.000] I told you, I told you.
[17:34.000 -> 17:41.000] There you go. And then there was quite a funny moment when they got David Coulthard on stage
[17:41.000 -> 17:45.640] and they were calling him DC and Jake turns to me and they say he
[17:45.640 -> 17:53.320] says why are they calling him DC when it's Damon Hill? Whilst Damon Hill is sat behind me as well.
[17:53.320 -> 17:59.400] I was like mate that's David Coulthard but there you go. It's a lot of names to take in at one event
[17:59.400 -> 18:04.000] there was a lot of people there but I think we did a very good job to meet as
[18:04.000 -> 18:05.160] many people as we could.
[18:05.160 -> 18:09.120] We well and truly met every single person we could of and we went up to them, told them
[18:09.120 -> 18:13.280] about the podcast, everyone seemed to love it, people think it's a great idea, people
[18:13.280 -> 18:17.080] seem to be quite behind the idea of bringing new fans over to the sport.
[18:17.080 -> 18:22.080] You've just got to bite the bullet and do it. I will always go up and talk to people
[18:22.080 -> 18:28.320] if I think it's going to be beneficial but when it's at an event like that, you just don't know if you're gonna rub someone up the wrong way
[18:28.320 -> 18:32.420] Well, that's what I was worried about because everyone's like dressed up right and they're there for like a nice evening
[18:32.420 -> 18:36.700] I didn't see many people take pictures of anyone like we didn't ask for pictures of everyone
[18:36.700 -> 18:40.820] We only got a video with Horner because I wanted to show him my red bull t-shirt
[18:40.820 -> 18:47.680] but like you didn't really see many people are asking for photos of people in that so we were trying to intro ourselves in the way of
[18:47.680 -> 18:55.080] I don't know what we were trying to do just try like not make it sound like a
[18:55.080 -> 18:58.640] business pitch but I mean it was yeah we want them on the podcast kind of
[18:58.640 -> 19:01.880] ultimately we want all these amazing people on the podcast as you guys know
[19:01.880 -> 19:06.000] yeah absolutely but apart from that
[19:06.000 -> 19:08.000] is there anything else to say?
[19:08.000 -> 19:10.000] This is just a short bonus episode.
[19:10.000 -> 19:12.000] Yeah, we wanted to give you a little bonus. I'm hanging out my...
[19:14.000 -> 19:16.000] Um...
[19:16.000 -> 19:18.000] Yeah, I'm hanging. It was a very long night.
[19:18.000 -> 19:20.000] I don't even know how we got home.
[19:20.000 -> 19:22.000] I have no idea how we got home.
[19:22.000 -> 19:24.000] It took like an hour and a half to get there.
[19:24.000 -> 19:25.120] And on the way back it felt like five minutes. I swear it took like two how we got home. It took like an hour and a half to get there. And on the way back, it felt like five minutes.
[19:25.120 -> 19:27.480] I swear it took like two minutes to get home.
[19:27.480 -> 19:28.320] Weird.
[19:28.320 -> 19:29.680] It's London for you though, the traffic.
[19:29.680 -> 19:30.920] Like when you're going on rush hour,
[19:30.920 -> 19:31.760] it takes forever there.
[19:31.760 -> 19:32.800] When you come back, it's so quick.
[19:32.800 -> 19:35.280] Imagine you check your fucking bank statement
[19:35.280 -> 19:36.120] and it's like private helicopter.
[19:36.120 -> 19:37.600] I don't even want to check my bank
[19:37.600 -> 19:39.600] after I won that auction.
[19:39.600 -> 19:41.200] I have no idea what we've even bought.
[19:41.200 -> 19:42.040] I haven't got it.
[19:42.040 -> 19:43.760] I bought it when I won it.
[19:43.760 -> 19:44.600] And then I walked around the showroom.
[19:44.600 -> 19:49.000] Oh no, it's on the website. I went on the website and it comes up with what you've won
[19:49.000 -> 19:50.600] and it has your fucking name on it.
[19:50.600 -> 19:51.600] No way!
[19:51.600 -> 19:52.600] It says Jake Boys.
[19:52.600 -> 19:56.800] Let's go! That's so sick! Yeah, I was walking around saying to everyone, where do I pick
[19:56.800 -> 19:59.800] this up? And everyone was like, I was having it. Everyone was laughing. Everyone was like,
[19:59.800 -> 20:04.800] no, we'll send it to you. We don't have it here. I was like, oh, makes perfect sense.
[20:04.800 -> 20:05.040] Oh, it was just the best evening ever. We wanted to do a little bonus episode and talk We don't have it here. Oh makes perfect sense
[20:05.480 -> 20:07.120] It was just the best evening ever
