[03:15.460 -> 03:16.500] And just little bits all the way through, to be fair.
[03:16.500 -> 03:18.100] So it was a great, great episode.
[03:18.100 -> 03:20.420] It was amazing to be, it was our first time
[03:20.420 -> 03:21.500] in the Ferrari factory.
[03:21.500 -> 03:22.340] We were doing a podcast.
[03:22.340 -> 03:23.260] I can't believe they let us film though.
[03:23.260 -> 03:25.360] We actually filmed in front of the legendary
[03:25.360 -> 03:29.440] Ferrari cars in the museum, like when we got there they set it all up for us, they proper
[03:29.440 -> 03:31.840] looked after us, like Ferrari thank you so much.
[03:31.840 -> 03:36.840] This is why I like Ferrari right, because they want to do things proper and we walk
[03:36.840 -> 03:41.760] into the museum, we met everyone, it was unreal, we're walking, seeing all these cars which
[03:41.760 -> 03:49.480] was crazy, then they take us into the la la la la la la la whatever it's called I can't remember what it's called but there's people walking around I'm like
[03:49.480 -> 03:52.880] hang on this it's not closed off like this is open to everyone he wants to
[03:52.880 -> 03:56.160] like walk and see the shit and we're like how are we gonna do this because
[03:56.160 -> 03:59.480] it's gonna be noisy like that people are gonna be walking in front of the
[03:59.480 -> 04:03.560] cameras but straight away they were like no we'll cordon off this whole area yeah
[04:03.560 -> 04:06.160] so they put like tape around everywhere.
[04:06.160 -> 04:07.000] It was unreal.
[04:07.000 -> 04:09.120] Turn the music down, turn the lights up.
[04:09.120 -> 04:10.800] Antonio Giovinazzi came over with the lights.
[04:10.800 -> 04:11.800] Yep, yep.
[04:11.800 -> 04:14.600] Giovinazzi was our electrician for the day.
[04:14.600 -> 04:15.440] Might not have actually been Giovinazzi.
[04:15.440 -> 04:18.040] Just need to confirm, yeah, he actually wasn't Giovinazzi.
[04:18.040 -> 04:19.320] Just to clear that one up.
[04:19.320 -> 04:21.440] There's a lot happening in the Formula One world though.
[04:21.440 -> 04:23.120] We got Singapore this weekend.
[04:23.120 -> 04:24.880] Gutted we're not there to be honest.
[04:24.880 -> 04:27.320] Bit gutted, bit gutted, like no teams reached out
[04:27.320 -> 04:29.000] and was like Jake and Fab,
[04:29.000 -> 04:31.280] come fucking chill for the weekend
[04:31.280 -> 04:32.960] because Singapore looks unreal.
[04:32.960 -> 04:33.780] And do you know what?
[04:33.780 -> 04:34.920] I didn't really know this,
[04:34.920 -> 04:37.440] but apparently it's like the best race of the year.
[04:37.440 -> 04:38.320] Oh really?
[04:38.320 -> 04:39.160] It's a night race.
[04:39.160 -> 04:40.000] Well, a night race, yeah.
[04:40.000 -> 04:42.520] It's a street track and it's super tight.
[04:42.520 -> 04:45.320] Apparently the surface of the road is really bumpy.
[04:45.320 -> 04:46.760] Apparently it's just an absolute nightmare.
[04:46.760 -> 04:48.360] Everyone we know that's posting photos there,
[04:48.360 -> 04:50.520] all the photos look absolutely amazing as well.
[04:50.520 -> 04:51.960] I'm so jealous.
[04:51.960 -> 04:54.080] Next year, next year we'll definitely go,
[04:54.080 -> 04:56.600] but we are gonna try and go to some more races this season.
[04:56.600 -> 04:58.360] So don't rule that out.
[04:58.360 -> 05:00.880] The last episode you heard from us was with Shai.
[05:00.880 -> 05:01.920] We hope you guys loved it.
[05:01.920 -> 05:02.760] Like that guy's really important to us.
[05:02.760 -> 05:04.560] Oh, he got some really good reviews.
[05:04.560 -> 05:05.760] Yeah, the reviews have been amazing
[05:05.760 -> 05:11.520] I saw quite a few comments of people saying like I wasn't particularly interested in the episode because they didn't know who he was but
[05:11.520 -> 05:15.020] Once they watched it they were like, oh, yeah. Okay. This guy's cool as fuck
[05:15.020 -> 05:15.600] Yeah for sure
[05:15.600 -> 05:20.640] anyone that wants to get into Formula 1 and wants to hear about how he does his job like it's a pretty cool job being
[05:20.640 -> 05:25.960] Like the content manager a lot out for a mayor like taking the photos, posting them all, running that Instagram account.
[05:25.960 -> 05:26.860] Like that's cool.
[05:26.860 -> 05:29.160] Anyone who works in the F1 has the sickest job.
[05:29.160 -> 05:30.000] I know.
[05:30.000 -> 05:31.080] When I remember being a kid, right,
[05:31.080 -> 05:32.400] and thinking about like,
[05:32.400 -> 05:34.500] I want to travel throughout my life,
[05:34.500 -> 05:36.540] but I never wanted to make a year of it.
[05:36.540 -> 05:38.560] I wanted to like travel throughout my life,
[05:38.560 -> 05:40.440] just all these different countries.
[05:40.440 -> 05:42.080] And I thought about different jobs and I was like,
[05:42.080 -> 05:44.080] music can take you there.
[05:44.080 -> 05:46.400] There's so many other jobs where you have to travel for it
[05:46.400 -> 05:49.840] but you never ever think about F1, but it's consistent.
[05:49.840 -> 05:52.300] It's like, there's a race every month.
[05:52.300 -> 05:55.920] These people are traveling multiple times every month.
[05:55.920 -> 05:57.160] Like they're never at home.
[05:57.160 -> 05:58.920] I'm completely with you when you just said, by the way
[05:58.920 -> 06:01.160] you wouldn't want to take a year out of your life to travel.
[06:01.160 -> 06:02.760] Like I know how some people do that
[06:02.760 -> 06:04.280] because it works around their work and that
[06:04.280 -> 06:06.560] but just because of how I like enjoying traveling
[06:06.560 -> 06:11.480] I wouldn't want to do it like that. It would be cool but yeah.
[06:11.480 -> 06:15.600] It's just not for me. Like I guess for some people it's perfect but I would rather like
[06:15.600 -> 06:19.640] proper spread it but I'm also really lucky that with the opportunities we get
[06:19.640 -> 06:23.080] with the F1. It is the dreamland that's the thing. Everyone would want to do this.
[06:23.080 -> 06:25.600] You get to travel the world and fly around.
[06:25.600 -> 06:27.720] It's pretty incredible and it's pretty funny
[06:27.720 -> 06:28.560] we get to film it all.
[06:28.560 -> 06:30.880] And the great thing about it is that we're not just
[06:30.880 -> 06:32.400] traveling for the sake of traveling,
[06:32.400 -> 06:34.640] that you're actually traveling to do something.
[06:34.640 -> 06:36.280] So you know that no matter where you go,
[06:36.280 -> 06:37.840] there's like a race that you're gonna be able to watch,
[06:37.840 -> 06:38.680] which is unreal.
[06:38.680 -> 06:41.320] Yeah, we did loads at Amsterdam over the weekend.
[06:41.320 -> 06:43.120] Yeah, what did you get up to at Amsterdam?
[06:43.120 -> 06:44.040] Well, we watched the race,
[06:44.040 -> 06:47.680] sunk about a thousand beers, spoke to everyone.
[06:47.680 -> 06:49.600] Hopefully at some point we'll actually be able to film
[06:49.600 -> 06:50.680] at the races though.
[06:50.680 -> 06:51.920] And then if we go to the races,
[06:51.920 -> 06:53.480] we'll actually have something to do.
[06:53.480 -> 06:54.320] Do you get what I mean?
[06:54.320 -> 06:55.360] Like Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
[06:55.360 -> 06:56.880] I mean, it would be the best content
[06:56.880 -> 06:58.520] that the F1 would have ever seen.
[06:58.520 -> 07:01.960] All we need is the accreditation, but there you go.
[07:01.960 -> 07:06.000] Some things are out of our reach. Some things are out of our reach.
[07:06.000 -> 07:08.000] We're not magic, unfortunately.
[07:08.000 -> 07:10.000] Jack! Fab!
[07:10.000 -> 07:11.000] What's in the news today?
[07:11.000 -> 07:16.000] Max Verstappen could win his second world championship in Singapore this weekend.
[07:16.000 -> 07:19.000] We're gonna go over to start with how he could win.
[07:19.000 -> 07:22.000] I've got the exact what has to happen here.
[07:22.000 -> 07:23.000] This is what I want to know.
[07:23.000 -> 07:24.000] For Max Verstappen to win.
[07:24.000 -> 07:25.300] Because there's been a lot of chatter about this
[07:25.320 -> 07:28.640] Okay, but I don't actually know the ins and outs who has to finish where
[07:33.600 -> 07:35.600] Okay, I'm back
[07:38.600 -> 07:42.040] The stop and will become the world champion in Singapore if
[07:42.640 -> 07:46.240] So basically the first scenario is that Verstappen
[07:46.240 -> 07:50.600] wins the race and gets fastest lap, which is very likely,
[07:50.600 -> 07:53.520] but Leclerc would have to finish eight four lower
[07:53.520 -> 07:56.000] and Perez would have to finish four four lower
[07:56.000 -> 07:57.240] for him to win the championship.
[07:57.240 -> 07:58.320] Why Perez?
[07:58.320 -> 08:01.480] Because Perez is very close on points to Leclerc.
[08:01.480 -> 08:03.320] So he needs to get away from both of them
[08:03.320 -> 08:05.560] so that neither of them can catch.
[08:05.560 -> 08:07.160] That's the points distance finish.
[08:07.160 -> 08:08.560] You get me?
[08:08.560 -> 08:10.640] The second scenario is Verstappen wins
[08:10.640 -> 08:12.720] but doesn't get fastest lap.
[08:12.720 -> 08:15.180] Leclerc then needs to be ninth or lower
[08:15.180 -> 08:18.400] and Sainz needs to be fourth with no fastest lap.
[08:18.400 -> 08:19.800] This is tight.
[08:19.800 -> 08:22.400] And if Verstappen comes second,
[08:22.400 -> 08:24.280] well, basically if Verstappen doesn't win,
[08:24.280 -> 08:25.800] it goes to Japan no matter what. But if Verstappen does second, well basically if Verstappen doesn't win it goes to Japan no matter what.
[08:25.800 -> 08:32.500] But if Verstappen does win and he gets fastest lap then look at Leclerc and Sainz, no Leclerc and Perez sorry
[08:32.500 -> 08:37.200] because they've got a, if they don't finish high the championship battle could be over.
[08:37.200 -> 08:40.000] I think it's going to go to Japan.
[08:40.000 -> 08:40.800] Do you?
[08:40.800 -> 08:43.000] Yeah, unless there's like some horrendous crash.
[08:43.000 -> 08:45.000] I thought for a while Japan.
[08:45.000 -> 08:48.000] But then a bit of me, yeah. I've been looking at all this Singapore stuff.
[08:48.000 -> 08:51.000] I'm watching the training and I've got some notes here on my Jake's notebook about it.
[08:51.000 -> 08:53.000] I reckon it's gonna go down to the knuckle, you know.
[08:53.000 -> 08:56.000] Before we dive into Jake's notebook, I reckon it's gonna go right to the bone.
[08:56.000 -> 08:58.000] Well yeah, that's where I'm going with that.
[08:58.000 -> 09:00.000] Because I don't think Singapore will be won by.
[09:00.000 -> 09:02.000] I've got a fear. We'll do our predictions at the end,
[09:02.000 -> 09:04.000] but I don't feel like it's gonna be won by someone we think.
[09:04.000 -> 09:06.320] Because it's so hot in it.
[09:06.320 -> 09:09.320] Okay. So you think there's going to be some weird.
[09:09.320 -> 09:11.600] Yeah. Like I've been to Singapore.
[09:11.600 -> 09:13.360] Who won last year at Singapore?
[09:13.360 -> 09:14.180] They didn't race there.
[09:14.180 -> 09:16.000] The last time they raced was in 2019.
[09:16.000 -> 09:17.960] I believe it was Sebastian Vettel.
[09:17.960 -> 09:19.080] I have actually got it here.
[09:19.080 -> 09:20.720] I'll just quickly confirm that with you.
[09:20.720 -> 09:23.640] The last winner was Sebastian Vettel Ferrari 2019.
[09:24.680 -> 09:27.200] So they didn't do Singapore last year, the year before?
[09:27.200 -> 09:29.360] They didn't, COVID I'm guessing.
[09:29.360 -> 09:32.180] Certain tracks weren't on it, but it is back now,
[09:32.180 -> 09:34.200] which is fantastic.
[09:34.200 -> 09:36.660] But I've been to Singapore, mate,
[09:36.660 -> 09:39.600] and I've looked at the weather and it shows like 31 degrees
[09:39.600 -> 09:41.280] Saturday and Sunday, which isn't that hot,
[09:41.280 -> 09:43.920] but the issue is it also shows like rain,
[09:43.920 -> 09:45.860] like in the aspect of it's so humid
[09:46.360 -> 09:50.600] Like I remember being there and I walked out the hotel. I got out of the taxi at the airport
[09:50.740 -> 09:51.240] No
[09:51.240 -> 09:57.320] I remember actually coming out of the plane and I was stood there in border control in Singapore and I was just like sweating so
[09:57.320 -> 10:02.040] Much and my top was wet and I was taking in breaths like like just try to breathe normally
[10:02.120 -> 10:04.380] But I just felt like I couldn't grab the air
[10:04.440 -> 10:07.080] You know like when you start the control and you're breathing and then you feel like just try to breathe normally, but I just felt like I couldn't grab the air. You know, like when you start controlling your breathing
[10:07.080 -> 10:08.960] and then you feel like you have to breathe yourself,
[10:08.960 -> 10:10.240] you know, like if I say to you now,
[10:10.240 -> 10:12.600] control your breathing, you go,
[10:12.600 -> 10:14.240] for a little while, you'll have to keep doing it,
[10:14.240 -> 10:15.520] otherwise you won't breathe.
[10:15.520 -> 10:16.360] So you had to acclimatize to the area.
[10:16.360 -> 10:18.560] I had to proper acclimatize and control my breathing.
[10:18.560 -> 10:20.920] Well, did you see Brad's story?
[10:20.920 -> 10:21.840] No, what did he post?
[10:21.840 -> 10:24.080] Brad put up a, it was like the weather report
[10:24.080 -> 10:28.000] from Singapore and it said 70% hu- 75% humidity
[10:28.000 -> 10:28.500] Wow
[10:28.500 -> 10:32.000] And I believe it was 70% in Miami
[10:32.000 -> 10:33.000] Okay
[10:33.000 -> 10:42.000] And they fucking struggled hard because apparently, I need to get this right but apparently you don't, when you sweat at that temperature it doesn't cool your body down anymore
[10:42.000 -> 10:43.000] Oh wow
[10:43.000 -> 10:45.300] So these drivers, I mean, we've seen the videos
[10:45.300 -> 10:47.620] on Instagram of like them training in the gym,
[10:47.620 -> 10:49.120] but like the gym's roasting hot.
[10:49.120 -> 10:51.100] Yeah, and they've used all the machines and that.
[10:51.100 -> 10:51.940] Yeah.
[10:51.940 -> 10:53.640] There's gonna be a lot of ice baths out in Singapore.
[10:53.640 -> 10:54.720] I'd say there's gonna be a few.
[10:54.720 -> 10:57.320] I might even take one while I'm watching it.
[10:57.320 -> 10:59.560] Shall we watch Singapore in a bath together?
[10:59.560 -> 11:01.240] Yeah, we'll get a couple of bars,
[11:01.240 -> 11:02.080] we'll get like a few buckets.
[11:02.080 -> 11:02.900] That'd be nice,
[11:02.900 -> 11:04.480] because we haven't had a bath together in a while.
[11:04.480 -> 11:06.080] It's been a long time. It has been a few buckets. That'd be nice, cause we haven't had a bath together in a while. It's been a long time.
[11:06.080 -> 11:08.480] It has been a long time.
[11:08.480 -> 11:09.480] Why have we stopped?
[11:10.960 -> 11:12.600] Maybe we should put on the bath next time.
[11:12.600 -> 11:13.440] Put on the bath?
[11:13.440 -> 11:15.920] Oh my God, this podcast is so weird.
[11:15.920 -> 11:17.480] Yeah, I think anyone could win.
[11:17.480 -> 11:19.480] I just have a feeling it might be open.
[11:19.480 -> 11:21.520] I don't know why, I've just got a feeling that like-
[11:21.520 -> 11:23.800] You think it's open for maybe George
[11:23.800 -> 11:25.280] to maybe take his maiden win
[11:25.280 -> 11:29.960] I'm looking at Mercedes for sure, but then maybe we should be looking at Kevin Magnuson
[11:30.560 -> 11:35.720] See, it's interesting. You said Mercedes because there's another bit of news involving 2019 as well
[11:35.720 -> 11:39.980] Which was the last time that they raced Hockenheim? Okay, go on which is in Germany
[11:40.280 -> 11:46.120] Obviously Germany being like the home of Mercedes, right? Like Red Bull had the Red Bull ring,
[11:47.240 -> 11:48.760] McLaren Silverstone, I guess,
[11:48.760 -> 11:49.720] for fuck knows really.
[11:49.720 -> 11:52.160] I don't know if that's a home race for McLaren.
[11:52.160 -> 11:53.920] No, they're American, aren't they?
[11:53.920 -> 11:58.920] Ferrari have like Monza.
[11:59.240 -> 12:01.920] So like Mercedes don't have a home race yet.
[12:01.920 -> 12:03.080] And I was thinking like,
[12:03.080 -> 12:08.080] why do Germany not want to race anymore? Because apparently they've actually actively said like they have no
[12:08.080 -> 12:11.680] interest in hosting Formula One anymore. What is the reason for this? Hockenheim
[12:11.680 -> 12:15.320] 2019 was the last race and apparently that race was was an epic battle.
[12:15.320 -> 12:20.600] We didn't watch it obviously. So the race was actually won by Verstappen but
[12:20.600 -> 12:24.240] the pole sitter Lewis Hamilton had left the race after lap 27 because he had a
[12:24.240 -> 12:27.760] crash, a big horrendous crash behind the safety car
[12:27.760 -> 12:33.580] Really? We got to watch that. We need to apparently it was like one of the best races ever in the history of Formula One
[12:33.580 -> 12:38.900] Yeah, but where you going with this? So are you telling me that Mercedes are using Singapore as a home race?
[12:39.960 -> 12:41.960] Is that where you're going?
[12:43.960 -> 12:45.500] We're just talking about Mercedes.
[12:45.500 -> 12:50.500] And then when you said 2019 was the last time they raced Singapore, I thought well yeah, it's the last time they raced Hockenheim as well.
[12:50.500 -> 12:55.500] But I feel like Germany, this whole time that I've been sitting through this year, I've been wondering why haven't Germany got a race?
[12:55.500 -> 12:57.500] Yeah, I don't know why there isn't a race in Germany.
[12:57.500 -> 13:01.500] Germany's so big for motorsport. Surely there's German drivers that would want to race there.
[13:01.500 -> 13:06.140] You've got to think, it's like, F1 is to do with money.
[13:06.140 -> 13:06.980] Yeah.
[13:06.980 -> 13:08.460] And if you look at every single country now,
[13:08.460 -> 13:11.660] which is hosting it, they've got so much money.
[13:11.660 -> 13:13.780] I mean, you've got a few, a few obviously,
[13:13.780 -> 13:16.580] but then you've got like all of Asia and America.
[13:16.580 -> 13:18.860] I'd love to see F1 come back to Germany personally.
[13:18.860 -> 13:20.740] Have you seen the pictures of Mercedes landing
[13:20.740 -> 13:21.580] in Singapore though?
[13:21.580 -> 13:23.100] That's what made me think maybe they're trying to use it
[13:23.100 -> 13:23.980] as a home race, mate.
[13:23.980 -> 13:25.400] Did you see the fans? Fucking Mercedes trying to use it as a home race, mate. Did you see the fans?
[13:25.400 -> 13:28.040] Fuck a Mercedes going to use Singapore as a home race?
[13:28.040 -> 13:28.880] What are you talking about?
[13:28.880 -> 13:30.360] I don't know how this stuff works.
[13:30.360 -> 13:31.640] But basically what I'm saying is
[13:31.640 -> 13:33.240] there was loads of fans there.
[13:33.240 -> 13:36.100] Imagine if they built a factory out in Singapore
[13:36.100 -> 13:38.800] just so they could call it their home race.
[13:38.800 -> 13:40.760] You also missed why I said it could potentially
[13:40.760 -> 13:42.480] be Kevin Magnuson that wins this weekend.
[13:42.480 -> 13:43.800] Why could it be Kevin Magnuson?
[13:43.800 -> 13:45.160] Well, Kevin Magnussen actually holds
[13:45.160 -> 13:46.600] the lap record at Singapore.
[13:47.600 -> 13:48.440] Yeah.
[13:48.440 -> 13:49.260] Shut up.
[13:49.260 -> 13:50.100] I'm being serious right now.
[13:50.100 -> 13:51.000] Shut up.
[13:51.000 -> 13:52.040] I'm being serious.
[13:52.040 -> 13:54.120] There is no fucking way Kevin Magnussen
[13:54.120 -> 13:55.720] has the lap record at Singapore.
[13:55.720 -> 13:58.320] I swear Gavin, Gavin?
[13:58.320 -> 13:59.160] Gavin!
[13:59.160 -> 14:00.520] Cabbage.
[14:00.520 -> 14:02.400] Kevin Magnussen holds the lap record.
[14:02.400 -> 14:06.080] A 1.41, 9.05, 2018. That is facts, okay? Ialap record. A 1.41.905, 2018.
[14:06.080 -> 14:07.920] That is facts, okay, I'm reading this.
[14:07.920 -> 14:09.400] A what, a 1.21.9?
[14:09.400 -> 14:11.080] A 1.41.905.
[14:11.080 -> 14:13.120] Apparently Nicholas De Tivy has the crash there,
[14:13.120 -> 14:15.440] the record there for the biggest amount of crashes.
[14:15.440 -> 14:16.440] Really? No.
[14:16.440 -> 14:17.440] Oh.
[14:17.440 -> 14:18.280] 61 laps?
[14:18.280 -> 14:20.440] Probably is, probably is true.
[14:20.440 -> 14:22.120] First Grand Prix there was 2008,
[14:22.120 -> 14:24.800] race distance is 308 kilometers.
[14:24.800 -> 14:26.240] Guess how many DRS zones we got?
[14:26.240 -> 14:26.740] Three.
[14:26.740 -> 14:27.780] We've got three.
[14:27.780 -> 14:29.780] I've never watched Singapore.
[14:29.780 -> 14:32.340] Well, did we watch it last year? No, because we started in Brazil.
[14:32.340 -> 14:33.680] What are you talking about, mate? We raced it.
[14:33.680 -> 14:34.720] What do you mean?
[14:34.720 -> 14:36.080] Singapore's like your best track.
[14:36.080 -> 14:37.440] On the game? No, Mexico is.
[14:37.440 -> 14:38.480] Nah, Singapore.
[14:38.480 -> 14:39.600] I'm not very good at it.
[14:39.600 -> 14:44.400] You set the fastest lap in Singapore because you managed to cut all the corners without getting a disqualification.
[14:44.400 -> 14:47.500] Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah yeah I'm fucking good at Singapore.
[14:47.500 -> 14:53.500] Singapore's easy. Obviously Verstappen can pretty easily win this weekend.
[14:53.500 -> 14:56.500] Well, not easily but he's pretty much won the championship as we know.
[14:56.500 -> 14:57.500] There's no qualms.
[14:57.500 -> 15:02.000] I think the battle now goes like Mercedes Red Bull, Ferrari for constructors.
[15:02.000 -> 15:08.400] And I think it goes for like who finishes on the podium like in the championship because it is really close. What's the points
[15:08.400 -> 15:12.600] difference between Checo and Leclerc? Well I'll tell you from the top Verstappen's
[15:12.600 -> 15:20.400] got 335 and then Charles Leclerc in second has 219. Sergio Perez... 219? Yeah
[15:20.400 -> 15:32.500] Sergio Perez has 210 only nine points behind Leclerc, and then George Russell has 203, which is only 16 points behind Leclerc and 7 points behind Perez.
[15:32.500 -> 15:34.500] So really it's just a battle for the podium?
[15:34.500 -> 15:37.500] Oh yeah, for sure. Verstappen's won.
[15:37.500 -> 15:42.000] He's so far ahead, but that is so tight between three different teams.
[15:42.000 -> 15:42.500] I know.
[15:42.500 -> 15:44.500] When has it been that tight between three teams?
[15:44.500 -> 15:46.520] I honestly... Don't know why I'm asking you.
[15:46.520 -> 15:47.840] Fab, just have a little look.
[15:47.840 -> 15:49.120] I don't know.
[15:49.120 -> 15:51.900] But you're looking at a situation where it's very possible
[15:51.900 -> 15:56.440] George Russell could finish second overall this season
[15:56.440 -> 15:59.160] in a car that has been nowhere near as good as a Red Bull.
[15:59.160 -> 16:00.000] Debut year.
[16:00.000 -> 16:01.200] And nowhere near as good as a Ferrari.
[16:01.200 -> 16:02.960] Debut year at Mercedes.
[16:02.960 -> 16:05.000] That needs some recollection, mate.
[16:05.000 -> 16:07.000] Has come from a team, arguably the worst team on the grid,
[16:07.000 -> 16:09.000] to being one of the best teams on the grid.
[16:09.000 -> 16:10.000] Yeah, they didn't start off...
[16:10.000 -> 16:12.000] Oh, you're talking about Williams.
[16:12.000 -> 16:14.000] I was going to say Mercedes, yeah, they didn't start off good.
[16:14.000 -> 16:16.000] But they probably weren't the worst team on the grid.
[16:16.000 -> 16:19.000] Yeah, to only be 16 points behind Leclerc.
[16:19.000 -> 16:20.000] That's f***ing mega.
[16:20.000 -> 16:21.000] That is absolutely crazy.
[16:21.000 -> 16:23.000] That's mega, and we'd absolutely love George
[16:23.000 -> 16:24.000] to come on the pod, by the way.
[16:24.000 -> 16:25.760] So, George, if you're listening, please come on. It would be such a good ep. Yeah, George, And we'd absolutely love George to come on the pod, by the way. So George, if you're listening,
[16:25.760 -> 16:26.600] please come on.
[16:26.600 -> 16:27.420] It'd be such a good app.
[16:27.420 -> 16:29.000] Yeah, George, we only said that so you'd come on.
[16:29.000 -> 16:30.320] So I hope you liked it.
[16:30.320 -> 16:31.360] We've got scones here.
[16:31.360 -> 16:32.320] We got tea.
[16:34.440 -> 16:35.280] I don't know what else we got.
[16:35.280 -> 16:36.120] We got British flags everywhere.
[16:36.120 -> 16:37.800] If we had a chat with George, like you said,
[16:37.800 -> 16:39.320] I think it would be so natural and great.
[16:39.320 -> 16:40.160] Cause he'd get the banner.
[16:40.160 -> 16:41.280] We should make it so British.
[16:41.280 -> 16:42.960] We should get a proper tea set.
[16:42.960 -> 16:44.160] Flags and everything.
[16:44.160 -> 16:46.680] Proper bone China tea set with a pot of tea. proper tea set. Flags and everything. Proper bone china tea set, pot of tea.
[16:46.680 -> 16:49.720] United Kingdom pillows, go above and beyond.
[16:49.720 -> 16:52.880] Red Bull Racing have got 545 points.
[16:52.880 -> 16:54.000] This is where it gets interesting
[16:54.000 -> 16:55.360] because Red Bull have easily won,
[16:55.360 -> 16:57.240] the Constructors pretty much.
[16:57.240 -> 17:02.240] Ferrari have got 406, Mercedes have got 371.
[17:03.320 -> 17:07.080] So there is a 35 point gap between them.
[17:07.080 -> 17:09.960] I still stand by what I said at the beginning of the season.
[17:09.960 -> 17:11.320] Like Ferrari, love you guys.
[17:11.320 -> 17:12.920] Thanks for letting us in the museum.
[17:12.920 -> 17:14.960] Thank you for letting us film with Robert.
[17:14.960 -> 17:16.600] But I'm not going back on my prediction.
[17:16.600 -> 17:19.040] I do think the crystal ball has told me
[17:19.040 -> 17:21.080] that I reckon Mercedes will finish higher
[17:21.080 -> 17:22.600] than Ferrari in the constructors.
[17:22.600 -> 17:23.440] In the constructors.
[17:23.440 -> 17:25.840] Which is so so consistent mate.
[17:25.840 -> 17:27.680] So, I just, they've got closer.
[17:27.680 -> 17:28.880] When did you make that prediction?
[17:28.880 -> 17:30.160] Right at the beginning of the season.
[17:30.160 -> 17:31.200] Before we'd even raced.
[17:31.200 -> 17:33.800] It was when Mercedes weren't doing very well
[17:33.800 -> 17:34.640] was the beginning.
[17:34.640 -> 17:36.320] And I was like, I bet you they'll come back
[17:36.320 -> 17:39.080] and I bet you they'll finish ahead of Ferrari.
[17:39.080 -> 17:41.380] And they weren't even doing anything then.
[17:41.380 -> 17:43.240] But George Russell has just stayed consistent
[17:43.240 -> 17:44.760] which has kept them points.
[17:44.760 -> 17:47.320] Yeah, George is the man. Don't know what's going on with Lewis but
[17:47.320 -> 17:50.040] he's definitely picked up he's been getting some points
[17:50.040 -> 17:54.080] recently but then as you drop down the only right here's a curveball
[17:54.080 -> 17:59.800] Lewis Hamilton to Aston Martin next year. Their driver line that's already confirmed.
[17:59.800 -> 18:04.880] Thoughts though? Mate we know what can happen with Formula One, shit doesn't
[18:04.880 -> 18:07.340] they confirm shit and it doesn't happen.
[18:07.340 -> 18:09.100] We've seen it happen before.
[18:09.100 -> 18:10.580] Very recently.
[18:10.580 -> 18:11.420] Really?
[18:11.420 -> 18:12.260] Yeah.
[18:12.260 -> 18:15.020] I don't think it's gonna happen, mate.
[18:15.020 -> 18:17.180] But give me your prediction if it does.
[18:17.180 -> 18:18.020] If Lewis Hamilton wins the Aston Martin.
[18:18.020 -> 18:19.860] Obviously he's not fucking going to Aston Martin.
[18:19.860 -> 18:21.700] I reckon he'd win a race in the Aston Martin.
[18:21.700 -> 18:22.540] Do you think?
[18:22.540 -> 18:24.220] I think Aston Martin will be quick next season.
[18:24.220 -> 18:25.880] You saying that, it's just reminding me, by the way,
[18:25.880 -> 18:27.580] of the guests we've got coming on.
[18:27.580 -> 18:29.320] Go on.
[18:29.320 -> 18:30.800] Can't say his name, can we?
[18:30.800 -> 18:31.760] What, to do with Aston Martin?
[18:31.760 -> 18:35.240] No, big, big, big, big guests that we've got coming on.
[18:35.240 -> 18:36.320] I'm winking at you now.
[18:36.320 -> 18:37.800] Yeah, that's who I was just talking about, right?
[18:37.800 -> 18:40.360] Yeah, well, no, you didn't say his name.
[18:40.360 -> 18:41.720] Yeah, but you know how I'm talking about it.
[18:41.720 -> 18:42.560] Oh, I know who you're talking about.
[18:42.560 -> 18:44.360] Oh, do you think maybe we've given away too much now?
[18:44.360 -> 18:48.240] No, I don't know
[18:52.440 -> 18:52.520] It's pretty crazy to see Alpine ahead of McLaren in the standards
[18:57.020 -> 19:00.040] Yeah, I guess it is if you're into Formula One. I don't really fucking know
[19:05.960 -> 19:07.480] I'll be to go 125 points McLaren 107. So that's gonna be interesting. Breaking news!
[19:07.480 -> 19:08.320] Breaking news!
[19:08.320 -> 19:10.080] Breaking news!
[19:10.080 -> 19:12.440] Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats.
[19:12.440 -> 19:17.440] Guan Yu Zhou will be driving in Formula One next year.
[19:17.760 -> 19:22.280] Contract extension for the amazing driver.
[19:22.280 -> 19:23.840] And all he wanted was a race in China.
[19:23.840 -> 19:26.200] He got his race in China, so he smashed it.
[19:26.200 -> 19:27.920] And he got points on his rookie debut.
[19:27.920 -> 19:29.360] But because we had him on the pod,
[19:29.360 -> 19:30.640] I thought we'd make a big deal out of that.
[19:30.640 -> 19:31.480] You know what?
[19:31.480 -> 19:33.800] It was great having Shion when he was talking
[19:33.800 -> 19:37.880] about Alfa Romeo and saying how their team is very tight-knit
[19:37.880 -> 19:39.520] and there's not many of them.
[19:39.520 -> 19:41.360] He's the only guy who does socials, right?
[19:41.360 -> 19:42.200] Yeah.
[19:42.200 -> 19:43.120] There isn't a team of them.
[19:43.120 -> 19:44.720] And it's quite nice.
[19:44.720 -> 19:47.460] I think Alfa Romeo, probably the perfect team
[19:47.460 -> 19:49.900] for Joe to join in his rookie year.
[19:49.900 -> 19:52.020] To look after him, like feel like a family.
[19:52.020 -> 19:54.140] It's closer than some of these other teams,
[19:54.140 -> 19:55.940] maybe, I don't know.
[19:55.940 -> 19:59.500] But I think I could see him staying with him for a while.
[19:59.500 -> 20:00.680] That's so true actually.
[20:00.680 -> 20:01.920] And it's interesting to hear you say that
[20:01.920 -> 20:03.460] because I was thinking the same with Bottas.
[20:03.460 -> 20:05.600] I feel like he is the perfect replacement
[20:05.600 -> 20:07.560] because obviously they did a double new driver lineup
[20:07.560 -> 20:08.660] which is quite rare.
[20:08.660 -> 20:10.520] So they had to pick someone perfect to go with the other.
[20:10.520 -> 20:12.140] Who did they have, Kimi and who?
[20:12.140 -> 20:13.040] Giovinazzi.
[20:13.040 -> 20:13.880] Right.
[20:13.880 -> 20:16.220] But they just got a whole new driving lineup
[20:16.220 -> 20:17.240] and they did it perfectly
[20:17.240 -> 20:18.080] because we've seen what they're like together.
[20:18.080 -> 20:19.360] I feel like they can nurture each other.
[20:19.360 -> 20:20.200] Yeah.
[20:20.200 -> 20:22.800] I think VB has been an unreal person
[20:22.800 -> 20:27.280] for Joe to kind of come in and embrace him and teach him new,
[20:27.280 -> 20:30.000] teach him stuff, give him advice, everything else.
[20:30.000 -> 20:31.280] Next year and the following years,
[20:31.280 -> 20:33.720] I can see them being a really good duo together.
[20:33.720 -> 20:35.840] Once Joe gets through his rookie year
[20:35.840 -> 20:37.840] and he's like fully settled in,
[20:37.840 -> 20:40.480] I would love to see him go win that Chinese race next year.
[20:40.480 -> 20:41.320] Wouldn't you?
[20:41.320 -> 20:42.240] Oh mate, it would be insane.
[20:42.240 -> 20:43.640] Or even just get on the podium.
[20:43.640 -> 20:46.000] Yeah, he's had an amazing rookie year.
[20:46.000 -> 20:48.000] They're going to have to stick some orange juice in the engine just for that race.
[20:48.000 -> 20:55.000] Yeah, a few people sent in some questions asking us to ask all the drivers what orange juice they use in their car.
[20:55.000 -> 20:57.000] Don't worry, we will be asking them that.
[20:57.000 -> 20:59.000] Oh, it's Tropicana with bits.
[20:59.000 -> 21:01.000] Some of them use without bits.
[21:01.000 -> 21:06.560] Mercedes don't use bits. That's why they're fucking.
[21:06.560 -> 21:08.800] There's a rumour coming over.
[21:08.800 -> 21:10.400] It's from Aston Martin actually.
[21:10.400 -> 21:12.080] I've seen it on a grapevine.
[21:12.080 -> 21:14.960] They're actually gonna be trying apple juice out.
[21:15.880 -> 21:17.040] I don't know why.
[21:17.040 -> 21:18.240] Hang on, cloudy or clear?
[21:18.240 -> 21:20.240] Well, I don't wanna go too into detail.
[21:20.240 -> 21:21.200] With elderflower?
[21:21.200 -> 21:22.440] I'll let you know when I've heard back
[21:22.440 -> 21:24.240] from their team in the garage.
[21:24.240 -> 21:25.320] Surely it's apple and Elderflower.
[21:25.320 -> 21:27.680] Well, I know that that's one of the ones they're testing.
[21:27.680 -> 21:29.480] Cloudy Apple or Apple and Pear.
[21:29.480 -> 21:30.480] Sometimes you get the combo.
[21:30.480 -> 21:32.480] I can't give away too much, I've signed an NDA.
[21:32.480 -> 21:34.480] Fair enough, that's fair.
[21:34.480 -> 21:38.480] McLaren have now got a pink car for this weekend for the next two races.
[21:38.480 -> 21:41.000] They have swapped one of their sponsors out, they've now got OKX.
[21:41.000 -> 21:43.000] So you're going to see a bit of a pink McLaren.
[21:43.000 -> 21:44.000] Who did they get rid of?
[21:44.000 -> 21:45.140] Velo.
[21:45.140 -> 21:47.500] Yeah, it seems to have gone for these two races
[21:47.500 -> 21:48.340] and they've just been,
[21:48.340 -> 21:50.420] and it might be a brand owned by another brand,
[21:50.420 -> 21:51.260] you know what I mean?
[21:51.260 -> 21:52.100] So there's a bit of pink on the car,
[21:52.100 -> 21:53.420] I like that, orange and pink.
[21:53.420 -> 21:54.260] It looks cool.
[21:54.260 -> 21:56.820] Reminds me of a fucking, is it a refresher?
[21:56.820 -> 21:57.660] Oh yeah, nice.
[21:57.660 -> 22:01.020] A little sweet or a squidgy, whatever they're called.
[22:01.020 -> 22:01.860] I don't know what you're on about.
[22:01.860 -> 22:02.700] No, neither do I.
[22:02.700 -> 22:05.400] No, no, it's fruit salad. Fruit salad.
[22:05.400 -> 22:06.800] Fruit salad, they're my favorite.
[22:06.800 -> 22:07.640] Pink and orange.
[22:07.640 -> 22:09.400] They're the absolute, they're the shit.
[22:09.400 -> 22:11.400] Maybe they should sponsor Mercedes instead.
[22:11.400 -> 22:12.240] Or Pit Stop.
[22:12.240 -> 22:14.560] I feel like we haven't spoke to people in ages.
[22:14.560 -> 22:15.920] I've got loads of things on my phone
[22:15.920 -> 22:17.000] that I wanted to talk about on the pod.
[22:17.000 -> 22:18.560] We haven't spoke about any of this stuff.
[22:18.560 -> 22:21.000] We haven't even spoke on the podcast, mate,
[22:21.000 -> 22:23.880] since it's been confirmed that Latifi is leaving Williams
[22:23.880 -> 22:24.800] at the end of the season.
[22:24.800 -> 22:25.140] Damn.
[22:25.140 -> 22:26.480] It's happened.
[22:26.480 -> 22:30.580] That just completely blindsided me. I never saw that coming in a million years
[22:30.580 -> 22:34.360] and I was just completely shocked and devastated when I found out
[22:34.360 -> 22:39.120] because in the back of my mind I was like, who else could fill those boots?
[22:39.120 -> 22:45.440] You know how you have some people on the grid who are just untouchable?
[22:45.440 -> 22:53.440] Like, you couldn't get anywhere near him in terms of just that raw power and passion and speed.
[22:53.440 -> 22:58.880] It's gonna be a devastating moment for Formula One when that guy goes...
[22:58.880 -> 23:06.980] It just didn't work out for him. As simple as that. He's a class guy and everyone that speaks about him says he's one of the nicest people on the grid and I was so
[23:06.980 -> 23:12.060] nice you can be nice you can fucking be a nice person but is there gonna win you
[23:12.060 -> 23:17.740] races no I just feel bad speaking bad about these people though like obviously
[23:17.740 -> 23:20.880] so do I because there's a good chance that maybe we'll have him or like
[23:20.880 -> 23:28.640] someone related to him on the podcast but fuck it you just have to be I mean yeah you just have to be true to the yeah true to the situation
[23:28.640 -> 23:34.360] at least he got first in FP1 once that was amazing and to be fair we have met him yeah very briefly but he gave us the
[23:34.360 -> 23:38.080] time of day said hello he was nice so fucking I rate him as a person yeah
[23:38.080 -> 23:41.120] it just didn't work out at Williams did it? I'm gonna join NASCAR or something
[23:41.120 -> 23:45.120] there's been five drivers currently in the in the running okay now I'm gonna
[23:45.120 -> 23:49.760] read out their names all I want is simple yes no or maybes of whether you think they will be the
[23:49.760 -> 23:55.200] next Williams driver alongside Albert. Nick de Vries. You think it will be Nick de Vries? I think
[23:55.200 -> 24:00.800] it could be. Could it potentially be Giovannazzi? Uh nah. Doesn't work for you? Doesn't work for me
[24:00.800 -> 24:07.280] no. Doesn't make sense to me either. He's still associated with Ferrari, so I don't know why he would go to Williams. There's still a chance for him.
[24:07.280 -> 24:09.000] Maybe it has, I don't know.
[24:09.000 -> 24:10.560] Logan, Logan Sargent?
[24:10.560 -> 24:12.280] Logan Paul.
[24:12.280 -> 24:13.640] I wouldn't even be surprised at this point,
[24:13.640 -> 24:15.360] the amount of shit that they're able to achieve.
[24:15.360 -> 24:16.200] I know, I know.
[24:16.200 -> 24:18.320] Like, you know, one of them YouTubers was saying.
[24:18.320 -> 24:19.920] Boxing, WWE, Formula One.
[24:19.920 -> 24:22.840] Yeah, Formula One, we'd just be sat there like bloody hell.
[24:22.840 -> 24:24.880] Yeah, Logan Sargent, do you think maybe?
[24:24.880 -> 24:26.820] Don't really know enough about Logan.
[24:27.900 -> 24:29.240] I can't lie, neither do I.
[24:29.240 -> 24:33.180] It would be good to have an American in the F1.
[24:33.180 -> 24:36.200] Yeah, the next two candidates are Daniel Ricciardo
[24:36.200 -> 24:38.360] and Mick Schumacher, and I don't think he'll be either.
[24:38.360 -> 24:39.720] Danny Rick, no chance.
[24:39.720 -> 24:40.560] No.
[24:40.560 -> 24:41.840] Danny Rick, absolutely no chance.
[24:41.840 -> 24:43.060] Mick Schumacher.
[24:44.840 -> 24:46.000] What about Mick?
[24:46.000 -> 24:47.000] Mick...
[24:47.000 -> 24:54.000] For me it's like, Mick will stay in the sport if he gets let go by Haas.
[24:54.000 -> 24:57.000] There's nothing else he can do, he has to stay in Formula 1.
[24:57.000 -> 24:58.000] Yeah.
[24:58.000 -> 25:00.000] I don't see him going anywhere either.
[25:00.000 -> 25:02.000] I am with you, I think it's going to be De Vries isn't it?
[25:02.000 -> 25:03.000] But I don't, I think...
[25:03.000 -> 25:04.000] You've seen the amount...
[25:04.000 -> 25:05.060] If Mick was to go I think he's gonna be De Vries, isn't it? You've seen the amount. I think if Mick was to go,
[25:05.060 -> 25:07.080] I think he would get offers from other teams as well.
[25:07.080 -> 25:08.700] You've seen, well, I wasn't sure
[25:08.700 -> 25:10.100] about the Alfa Tauri seats,
[25:10.100 -> 25:12.580] but then Alfa Tauri confirmed that Sonoda's staying
[25:12.580 -> 25:14.900] until 2023, and we actually saw him!
[25:14.900 -> 25:17.740] Fun fact, we saw him in Bologna airport.
[25:17.740 -> 25:19.300] How fucking weird was that?
[25:19.300 -> 25:20.140] Yeah, go on then.
[25:20.140 -> 25:21.100] Doesn't even drive a Ferrari.
[25:21.100 -> 25:23.420] Me and Jake have just done the sickest podcast
[25:23.420 -> 25:24.900] with a certain person.
[25:24.900 -> 25:29.480] Robert's a horse, mate. in the Maranello Ferrari factory in Maranello in Italy and
[25:29.480 -> 25:33.360] Ferrari and we come back to the airport and we're looking at the board where we
[25:33.360 -> 25:38.640] can check our bags in and this little guy walks past us I look at him I look
[25:38.640 -> 25:42.520] at Jaguar's a jukie sonata and he's like oh is he he looks over there and he was
[25:42.520 -> 25:48.440] fucking there looking lost somewhere to check his bags in
[25:48.440 -> 25:50.120] and he just looked completely fucking lost.
[25:50.120 -> 25:50.960] He just looked really lost didn't he?
[25:50.960 -> 25:54.320] Also I swear his suitcase was like the same size as him.
[25:54.320 -> 25:57.600] I'm not joking, it was a big fucking suitcase.
[25:57.600 -> 25:59.880] He had headphones in so he completely ignored us.
[25:59.880 -> 26:02.320] Yeah, we tried to say hello, he didn't reply.
[26:02.320 -> 26:03.920] No, which is a shame.
[26:03.920 -> 26:05.640] He must have been listening to music. Yeah, cause he loves the Pipsqueak podcast I'm sure. Yeah, he does, say hello, he didn't reply. No, which is a shame. He must have been listening to music.
[26:05.640 -> 26:07.640] Yeah, because he loves the Pistol podcast, I'm sure.
[26:07.640 -> 26:09.360] Yeah, he does, yeah, so I hear.
[26:09.360 -> 26:11.080] I've actually got a picture of the current
[26:11.080 -> 26:12.760] who's got the most podiums up.
[26:12.760 -> 26:14.980] Basically, this is what we're doing for today's podcast,
[26:14.980 -> 26:16.560] because we weren't expecting to upload,
[26:16.560 -> 26:18.280] and I've got to go out in 30 minutes.
[26:18.280 -> 26:21.000] So we are going through all of the latest Formula One
[26:21.000 -> 26:23.360] stats, facts, and fun things.
[26:23.360 -> 26:25.080] Straight from News Now.
[26:25.080 -> 26:25.920] Yeah.
[26:25.920 -> 26:28.360] And yeah, it says, which of these drivers
[26:28.360 -> 26:30.100] will finish with the most podiums?
[26:30.100 -> 26:31.020] Okay.
[26:31.020 -> 26:33.620] Russell has seven podiums this season.
[26:33.620 -> 26:35.720] Sainz has seven.
[26:35.720 -> 26:37.240] Perez has seven.
[26:37.240 -> 26:39.160] Leclerc has seven.
[26:39.160 -> 26:40.960] And Hamilton has six.
[26:40.960 -> 26:41.800] Leclerc.
[26:41.800 -> 26:43.720] Do you think Leclerc's gonna finish with more podiums?
[26:43.720 -> 26:44.640] Leclerc.
[26:44.640 -> 26:45.760] There's four races left right?
[26:46.800 -> 26:50.280] Singapore, Japan. Five I think. Yeah five Singapore, Japan
[26:51.400 -> 26:54.760] Mexico, Brazil, Abu Dhabi. And USA. Oh
[26:55.560 -> 27:00.200] Shit six then. Singapore, Japan, Mexico
[27:01.040 -> 27:07.100] Austin, Mexico, Brazil, Abu Dhabi. Six. Six races to go and four.
[27:07.100 -> 27:08.700] Is that three sprint races too?
[27:10.860 -> 27:11.700] No, there can't be.
[27:11.700 -> 27:13.500] There's only three sprint races this season.
[27:13.500 -> 27:14.880] Brazil's a sprint.
[27:14.880 -> 27:16.300] There's one sprint race in Brazil.
[27:16.300 -> 27:18.260] But there is six next year.
[27:18.260 -> 27:19.480] How mad?
[27:20.500 -> 27:22.940] Too much or not enough.
[27:22.940 -> 27:25.960] Well, the F2 do a sprint every race, don't they?
[27:25.960 -> 27:27.080] And they reverse grid it.
[27:27.080 -> 27:28.720] But then I see why they do that in F2,
[27:28.720 -> 27:29.960] because you need to give everyone,
[27:29.960 -> 27:32.120] you want the people that are really good in F2
[27:32.120 -> 27:33.560] want to show they can come from the back.
[27:33.560 -> 27:35.000] That's kind of the idea in F2.
[27:35.000 -> 27:35.840] Yeah.
[27:35.840 -> 27:38.320] It's too much money in Formula One to reverse the grid.
[27:38.320 -> 27:40.680] But then I do think, I'm just still gutted
[27:40.680 -> 27:42.640] the guy said they're not thinking about adding more cars.
[27:42.640 -> 27:45.400] I still think that's the only thing the sport needs.
[27:45.400 -> 27:49.800] Again, referring back to Brad's story, he was saying on his story, do we even need that
[27:49.800 -> 27:51.040] many races next year?
[27:51.040 -> 27:52.040] Is it too much?
[27:52.040 -> 27:53.240] And I guess we don't know.
[27:53.240 -> 27:55.720] We'll just have to see how next year goes.
[27:55.720 -> 27:59.840] But it's such an intense sport, these drivers could be so burnt out by the end of it.
[27:59.840 -> 28:03.480] I wonder how they feel about that calendar.
[28:03.480 -> 28:05.680] Like, because even if you love-
[28:05.680 -> 28:07.140] Mole races, mole money.
[28:07.140 -> 28:09.280] Do you know what I mean?
[28:09.280 -> 28:11.620] Yeah, I mean, if you get to go to more places in the world,
[28:11.620 -> 28:13.040] the fans accumulate.
[28:13.040 -> 28:15.840] I feel like the majority of drivers these days
[28:15.840 -> 28:17.440] aren't just drivers.
[28:17.440 -> 28:20.300] They are public figures, they're celebrities,
[28:20.300 -> 28:21.640] and they want to be.
[28:21.640 -> 28:23.080] Yeah, that's true.
[28:23.080 -> 28:25.880] I think that the generation of Formula One drivers who don't really want to be in limelight- Well, maybe they don't necessarily want to be. Yeah, that's true. I think that the generation of Formula One drivers
[28:25.880 -> 28:26.720] who don't really want to be in limelight.
[28:26.720 -> 28:29.160] Well, maybe they don't necessarily want to be.
[28:29.160 -> 28:31.480] I reckon, no, there definitely is drivers on the grid
[28:31.480 -> 28:32.320] that don't want to be there.
[28:32.320 -> 28:34.600] It comes with it, I think.
[28:34.600 -> 28:36.400] Well, Bottas, prime example.
[28:36.400 -> 28:37.240] Well, that's what I mean, right.
[28:37.240 -> 28:39.520] When he got into F1, he didn't do it.
[28:39.520 -> 28:42.480] So these people are like slowly sort of leaving.
[28:42.480 -> 28:43.920] So we've seen Kimi go.
[28:43.920 -> 28:44.740] Yeah, the evolution.
[28:44.740 -> 28:47.380] You've got Fernando Alonso there, but think he likes it he posts quite a lot on
[28:47.380 -> 28:51.160] Instagram but I think every new driver coming up now into Formula One it's not
[28:51.160 -> 28:55.200] like I'm a racing driver and that is all I do and like no interviews like you
[28:55.200 -> 28:58.840] know I mean I agree I think every single driver it kind of like wants to have the
[28:58.840 -> 29:03.640] life of being a fucking celeb being a person oh that evolution in the next
[29:03.640 -> 29:06.040] five years every driver in the paddock will have like
[29:06.040 -> 29:07.840] their own clothing brand and everything.
[29:07.840 -> 29:08.920] Like it's going to be mental.
[29:08.920 -> 29:12.700] Cause all this young, all the younger drivers coming through
[29:12.700 -> 29:14.960] like you say, you don't have that long an F1.
[29:14.960 -> 29:15.960] It's quite a short career.
[29:15.960 -> 29:17.720] And you know what would be so sick?
[29:17.720 -> 29:20.400] Well, you know how like Boohoo always like team up
[29:20.400 -> 29:22.360] with like someone to do like a drop.
[29:22.360 -> 29:23.200] Yeah.
[29:23.200 -> 29:27.820] Like when we end up doing our own merch, we gonna have like a baseline of pit stop merch but then we could
[29:27.820 -> 29:32.680] collab with up with drivers who have their own merch as well we can combine
[29:32.680 -> 29:37.520] style so we could do the pit stop Guan Yu Joe crossover edition that'd be so
[29:37.520 -> 29:40.760] and it'd be sick like I don't even fucking know we have an edition
[29:40.760 -> 29:43.680] embroidered number on it of the connection yeah you can have some like
[29:43.680 -> 29:47.260] Chinese symbols on it so just something fucking awesome a hot pot
[29:47.260 -> 29:54.500] on the back the sport is gonna change so much but the profits 70 30 to us yeah
[29:54.500 -> 30:06.400] because they have in between me and you 90, shit. Did you see our boy JB getting in a Twitter argument?
[30:06.400 -> 30:07.480] JME?
[30:07.480 -> 30:08.400] JB.
[30:08.400 -> 30:09.240] JB.
[30:09.240 -> 30:10.080] Jensen Martin?
[30:10.080 -> 30:10.900] No.
[30:10.900 -> 30:11.740] Did you see what happened?
[30:11.740 -> 30:13.960] I saw him getting a little argument on Instagram.
[30:13.960 -> 30:15.000] Oh, what was it about?
[30:15.000 -> 30:16.920] Someone, something to do with Goodwood.
[30:16.920 -> 30:18.640] Oh no, what was that?
[30:18.640 -> 30:19.480] I didn't see that.
[30:19.480 -> 30:21.320] I don't know, some guy just said like,
[30:21.320 -> 30:23.020] I think he went out and raced some cars,
[30:23.020 -> 30:28.040] but like his car was like faster than everyone else's and they they put out a video something like
[30:28.040 -> 30:31.440] him overtaking a load of cars and some guy commented so well yeah of course you
[30:31.440 -> 30:34.560] overtook all of them because you had to put a car and then he put something back
[30:34.560 -> 30:40.120] I don't know what it was but it's funny to see them like funny to see Esteban
[30:40.120 -> 30:46.040] Ocon said the other day that if he looks at all of Fernando Alonso's teammates,
[30:46.040 -> 30:52.080] he believes that the only teammate at his level was Lewis and that no one else that
[30:52.080 -> 30:56.800] has ever been Alonso's teammate has done better than Okon other than Lewis.
[30:56.800 -> 31:01.440] He thinks that Okon's like, basically Okon's saying that he's been the second best teammate
[31:01.440 -> 31:03.280] to Alonso ever.
[31:03.280 -> 31:05.520] And then Jenson Button replied to it,
[31:05.520 -> 31:07.840] and put, I'm going to have to disagree.
[31:07.840 -> 31:09.840] Cause I obviously, Jenson Button's a world champion.
[31:09.840 -> 31:12.320] Like, and he drove with Alonso.
[31:12.320 -> 31:14.480] And then I went onto Twitter to find like,
[31:14.480 -> 31:17.680] an actual standings, and I found this lovely man.
[31:17.680 -> 31:18.520] We're never going to be able to find him,
[31:18.520 -> 31:20.220] but his name's Rowan Pierce.
[31:20.220 -> 31:23.240] And he took all the rankings of the actual,
[31:24.100 -> 31:28.400] of the stats of his teammates, and can confirm Jenson Button would be second in front of Ocon
[31:28.800 -> 31:29.760] Off performances
[31:29.760 -> 31:30.260] Woah
[31:30.480 -> 31:31.280] Esteban
[31:31.280 -> 31:33.040] And I know everyone wanted to know that
[31:33.360 -> 31:35.520] I know everyone wanted to know that
[31:35.520 -> 31:38.240] Esteban, it sounds like you need to get your fucking facts straight mate
[31:38.480 -> 31:39.840] Ocon is a great driver mate
[31:39.840 -> 31:43.040] Don't disrespect my boy Jenson Button
[31:43.040 -> 31:43.840] Yeah, really
[31:43.840 -> 31:46.480] He came on the podcast We will get our back up about it.
[31:46.480 -> 31:52.320] And he's one of our friends. So don't be nasty. It'll be like Verstappen and the garage again.
[31:52.320 -> 31:56.920] Verstappen went for rock on in that Drive Survive series. In season one. Did he slap him? He goes for him.
[31:56.920 -> 32:00.040] He like pushes him. We watched it again because we're still watching Drive Survive.
[32:00.040 -> 32:03.640] Do you know what? You and me were talking about this last night. We were going out on the
[32:03.640 -> 32:09.800] balcony and we were talking about how F1 needs to have those little fucking bits of excitement again
[32:09.800 -> 32:15.080] Like off the grid. Yeah, like which is what drive to survive does but we want to see fists
[32:15.280 -> 32:18.540] We want to see you want to see blood shed
[32:18.540 -> 32:22.480] We want to see fucking crazy shit going on because they and they can't do that shit anymore
[32:22.600 -> 32:25.880] Because the health and safety and because of like everything has to be proper.
[32:25.880 -> 32:26.720] No, the thing-
[32:26.720 -> 32:29.540] But I would love to see two drivers have a crash,
[32:29.540 -> 32:30.900] get out, rip the helmets off
[32:30.900 -> 32:32.300] and just beat each other to a pulp.
[32:32.300 -> 32:36.880] It would be mental, like that's never going to happen.
[32:36.880 -> 32:38.980] And like, I think that-
[32:38.980 -> 32:40.420] I just live in a dream world.
[32:40.420 -> 32:42.700] No, I think that would ruin it in a way.
[32:42.700 -> 32:44.080] But I do think that they,
[32:44.080 -> 32:45.420] and I think this will happen as well
[32:45.420 -> 32:47.040] I keep the helmets on yeah
[32:47.040 -> 32:53.080] But I reckon this is gonna happen everything works in circles at the moment in media like everything's like no sweat words
[32:53.600 -> 32:59.080] Apart from what carry on apart from swings. What did you say squares squares?
[32:59.800 -> 33:02.600] Depends carry on yeah everything happens in circles
[33:02.600 -> 33:07.520] And I think because the media is getting so like prim and proper not just in Formula One in every sport they
[33:07.520 -> 33:10.800] like took away swearing in that but then because I've noticed in football they've
[33:10.800 -> 33:14.960] started to like allow a bit more language and a bit more banter back into
[33:14.960 -> 33:18.520] it to the to the commentary and to like the interviews after and it made me
[33:18.520 -> 33:21.660] think like I reckon it will get to the point again in Formula One did the
[33:21.660 -> 33:27.120] pundits swear on not swear but that you do see videos of them on other things, not live on Sky they won't
[33:27.120 -> 33:31.000] swear, but like loads of footballers swear in interviews and shit, and it just made me
[33:31.000 -> 33:35.260] think like, I do think it's gonna get back to the point, I don't know when, but I reckon
[33:35.260 -> 33:38.640] one of these drivers is gonna rip his helmet off, go straight up to the mic and be like
[33:38.640 -> 33:41.360] I cannot fucking believe George Russell just did that.
[33:41.360 -> 33:42.360] Right, I know when.
[33:42.360 -> 33:43.960] And then you're gonna have that fucking anger and-
[33:43.960 -> 33:46.700] I know when though, and I't know how, how us,
[33:46.700 -> 33:50.000] why this is what Pitstop is all about.
[33:50.000 -> 33:52.960] This is Pitstop is about taking these people
[33:52.960 -> 33:56.040] from this sport, which is so wrapped in cotton wool
[33:56.040 -> 33:57.960] and let them letting them have that,
[33:57.960 -> 33:59.200] that freedom of speech.
[33:59.200 -> 34:02.260] Like they're not tied with, if ever we get a formula,
[34:02.260 -> 34:04.000] obviously we've had formula one drivers on,
[34:04.000 -> 34:06.680] but if they ever come to our flat in an ideal scenario and we can have them
[34:06.680 -> 34:10.720] they can they I want them to be able to say anything they want if Esteban Ocon
[34:10.720 -> 34:13.680] is sat here and says fab you're a fucking knob I'm better than Jenson
[34:13.680 -> 34:20.800] Button I would I would happily let Esteban Ocon there and just call me a knobhead.
[34:20.800 -> 34:26.640] True me too I'd be polishing his shoes whilst he said it. But we are going to make that change happen.
[34:26.640 -> 34:28.080] I just think it will happen.
[34:28.080 -> 34:31.280] Like, and this season of Drive Survive is going to be crazy
[34:31.280 -> 34:32.600] because loads has happened in the paddock,
[34:32.600 -> 34:35.160] like Vettel leaving, Alonso moving teams.
[34:35.160 -> 34:37.240] There's been so much that we haven't seen yet.
[34:37.240 -> 34:39.480] And so much of it isn't, we,
[34:39.480 -> 34:42.840] there's definitely so much stuff that we have no idea.
[34:42.840 -> 34:46.360] Like, I guess we find out some cool stuff from guests.
[34:46.360 -> 34:47.640] What do you mean?
[34:47.640 -> 34:49.400] Well, we know a lot of people in the sport
[34:49.400 -> 34:50.960] and we spoke to a lot of people within the sport now.
[34:50.960 -> 34:52.800] Like even we know a lot of crazy things
[34:52.800 -> 34:53.640] that never made the media.
[34:53.640 -> 34:56.000] Yeah, I was going to say, to be honest bro,
[34:56.000 -> 34:57.760] I feel like we know too much.
[34:57.760 -> 34:59.600] Yeah, I just want to say.
[34:59.600 -> 35:02.560] For the amount of time that we've been in this sport,
[35:02.560 -> 35:03.400] we know too much.
[35:03.400 -> 35:06.000] Do you reckon anyone listening ever picks up on like inside jokes or things that we say? Cause like we don't give anything away, but yeah this but we know too much. Do you reckon anyone listening ever picks up on like inside jokes or
[35:06.000 -> 35:09.080] things that we say because we don't give anything away but yeah we do know too
[35:09.080 -> 35:14.400] much. I don't know. Drive Survive is gonna be fucking crazy. Because whenever we podcast we just let it roll we don't even think
[35:14.400 -> 35:17.120] afterwards like we've got to edit that out we've got to edit this out or we just
[35:17.120 -> 35:20.720] have a chat so we could really say anything. It's true I completely forgot
[35:20.720 -> 35:23.440] everything I've said for this whole podcast. Also have you ever thought about
[35:23.440 -> 35:27.040] how technology is moving forward drastically?
[35:27.040 -> 35:33.040] And you have AI and you have stuff which replicates like people's faces and their voices.
[35:33.040 -> 35:39.760] We have a database online full of hundreds of hours of you and me talking,
[35:39.760 -> 35:44.160] saying every single word, every single like pitch in our voice.
[35:44.160 -> 35:44.640] True.
[35:44.640 -> 35:49.200] People can use that to map an AI and we could get fucked up.
[35:49.200 -> 35:52.280] People could make us say anything.
[35:52.280 -> 35:54.280] Don't say that, because if someone listening
[35:54.280 -> 35:56.600] that's good at editing it will take that upon themselves.
[35:56.600 -> 35:57.480] Someone will do it.
[35:57.480 -> 35:59.280] Or you know how they used to,
[35:59.280 -> 36:01.280] you have those memes where they make people sing,
[36:01.280 -> 36:03.000] like they had Donald Trump sing
[36:03.000 -> 36:04.280] from all his interview clips.
[36:04.280 -> 36:05.880] Like people could do that with our stuff.
[36:05.880 -> 36:07.000] That's so true.
[36:07.000 -> 36:08.080] We could get wrecked, actually.
[36:08.080 -> 36:10.920] You spin me right round, baby, right round.
[36:10.920 -> 36:14.040] Don't give him any more audio.
[36:14.040 -> 36:15.760] That reminds me, actually, on our TikTok,
[36:15.760 -> 36:18.160] the clip with Robert Schwartzman where we're rapping,
[36:18.160 -> 36:19.560] there's a clip on TikTok.
[36:19.560 -> 36:22.800] If anyone's going to the Ferrari Museum in Maranello,
[36:22.800 -> 36:26.600] please make a video in there and use that sound. You'll see why when it comes out, someone said, like, I'm going to the Ferrari museum in Maranello, please make a video in there and use that sound.
[36:26.600 -> 36:27.920] You'll see why when it comes out,
[36:27.920 -> 36:29.680] someone said like, I'm going to the Ferrari museum
[36:29.680 -> 36:31.080] and I'm going to use this sound.
[36:31.080 -> 36:32.360] Cause imagine you were in there
[36:32.360 -> 36:34.040] and you played that sound over your TikTok
[36:34.040 -> 36:34.860] and you mimed it.
[36:34.860 -> 36:36.120] Cause it's what we say, we're like,
[36:36.120 -> 36:37.840] I'm in a Ferrari museum.
[36:37.840 -> 36:38.680] It'd be quite a good sound for TikTok.
[36:38.680 -> 36:40.040] There's cars over there.
[36:40.040 -> 36:40.880] Yeah.
[36:40.880 -> 36:41.700] Robbers over there.
[36:41.700 -> 36:42.840] They haven't watched it yet.
[36:42.840 -> 36:43.680] They haven't watched it yet.
[36:43.680 -> 36:44.960] It's not out.
[36:44.960 -> 36:47.880] Monaco has been confirmed till 2025, which is over there. They haven't watched it yet, they haven't watched it yet. It's not out. Monica has been confirmed till 2025,
[36:47.880 -> 36:49.880] which is absolutely fantastic news.
[36:49.880 -> 36:52.440] Breaking news, breaking news.
[36:52.440 -> 36:53.260] Oh no.
[36:53.260 -> 36:54.100] Yeah.
[36:54.100 -> 36:54.920] What?
[36:54.920 -> 36:55.760] Yeah.
[36:55.760 -> 36:56.600] What?
[36:56.600 -> 36:57.420] It's kind of bittersweet.
[36:57.420 -> 36:59.360] Oh man, are you all right?
[36:59.360 -> 37:00.720] I'm all right.
[37:00.720 -> 37:03.000] Personally, I'm fucking great.
[37:03.000 -> 37:04.920] She still didn't take you back.
[37:04.920 -> 37:06.160] Yeah, but she was ugly anyway.
[37:06.160 -> 37:07.000] So it's fine.
[37:07.000 -> 37:08.960] No, it's bittersweet.
[37:08.960 -> 37:10.320] No, she wasn't, she was beautiful.
[37:10.320 -> 37:12.720] I think it's good for you and me
[37:12.720 -> 37:14.880] because of future endeavors.
[37:14.880 -> 37:16.320] But ladies and gentlemen,
[37:16.320 -> 37:21.320] Ross Brawn is retiring from the Formula One
[37:21.600 -> 37:23.120] for the second time in his career.
[37:23.120 -> 37:26.440] Oh no, I saw that at the end of 2023.
[37:26.440 -> 37:28.400] It's good, it's good.
[37:28.400 -> 37:30.240] What, because we can get him on the pod easier?
[37:30.240 -> 37:31.600] Wait, is it the end of 2023?
[37:31.600 -> 37:32.900] It's the end of this season.
[37:32.900 -> 37:34.520] Oh wait, it might be the end of next season.
[37:34.520 -> 37:35.640] I think it's the end of this season.
[37:35.640 -> 37:37.440] Yeah, I think it is the end of this season.
[37:37.440 -> 37:40.240] Which, Ross, if you're listening,
[37:40.240 -> 37:42.080] because we've reached out.
[37:42.080 -> 37:50.840] Let's say some kind words to Ross to summarize his career. Ross, I don't know a single thing really about your past
[37:50.840 -> 37:56.040] apart from the fact that every single team that you have worked with you have
[37:56.040 -> 38:01.800] just you have graced them with some untouchable knowledge which has helped
[38:01.800 -> 38:09.140] them to be one of the greatest teams in the world. I think you're an amazing man, it was unbelievable to meet you out in Zandvoort.
[38:09.140 -> 38:13.620] We have reached out on the email, we haven't heard back, I know you're
[38:13.620 -> 38:19.200] extremely busy but the Pitstop podcast is the number one motherfucking Formula
[38:19.200 -> 38:27.000] One podcast in the world! And Ross, we need you to come on. Please, everyone, if anyone can find Ross anywhere,
[38:27.000 -> 38:30.000] I've only found him on LinkedIn, but if anyone knows where he lives,
[38:30.000 -> 38:33.000] send him a letter, just say, please come on the Pitstop podcast.
[38:33.000 -> 38:37.000] We could do the best interview of Ross Brawn once he leaves Formula 1.
[38:37.000 -> 38:40.000] We could because, as you know, I should probably do my one very quickly.
[38:40.000 -> 38:47.000] Ross, thanks so much for being a massive part of Formula One. We loved meeting you and shaking your hand.
[38:47.000 -> 38:51.000] I'm aware of all of your accomplishments and everything you've done.
[38:51.000 -> 38:56.000] I know everything he's done, loads at Mercedes, McLaren, all the teams he's been at.
[38:56.000 -> 38:59.000] He's always been such an amazing person to work with.
[38:59.000 -> 39:01.000] Such an inspirational, amazing, good guy.
[39:01.000 -> 39:02.000] What was he like to work with?
[39:02.000 -> 39:06.580] Well, you know, Ross was the kind of guy that bought his own packed lunch every day
[39:07.080 -> 39:13.040] Caesar salad. The action man lunchbox. Yeah, action man lunchbox. And he always had three sticks of cheese.
[39:13.040 -> 39:19.640] But everyone loved him. Everyone loved him. You know first day out last out every time. Remember how he always used to wear the multicolored socks?
[39:19.640 -> 39:23.740] Yeah, pink on one foot, green on the other. Oh Ross, those were the days.
[39:24.680 -> 39:25.720] They were the days. Oh Ross, those were the days. Those were the days.
[39:25.720 -> 39:29.840] So Ross, enjoy your time away from Formula One.
[39:29.840 -> 39:31.240] We know you want to do a bit of gardening,
[39:31.240 -> 39:32.560] you want to play with your grandkids,
[39:32.560 -> 39:33.840] you want to go fishing.
[39:33.840 -> 39:36.520] Enjoy all of that, but let us come with you.
[39:36.520 -> 39:37.880] Let us come film it all.
[39:37.880 -> 39:39.600] We want to come fishing with you and do a,
[39:39.600 -> 39:42.520] we want to do a podcast where we go fishing
[39:42.520 -> 39:43.360] with fucking Ross Brawn.
[39:43.360 -> 39:46.040] That is now, I'm so glad we've said that live on the pod.
[39:46.040 -> 39:46.920] Let's make that a mission.
[39:46.920 -> 39:48.920] Let's try and do a video with Ross Brawn
[39:48.920 -> 39:50.160] where we go fishing.
[39:50.160 -> 39:53.000] That is the fucking greatest idea in the world.
[39:53.000 -> 39:55.120] Do you remember the last time me and you went fishing?
[39:55.120 -> 39:56.400] I caught that fish.
[39:56.400 -> 39:57.680] We can't talk about that.
[39:57.680 -> 39:59.280] We can't talk about that.
[39:59.280 -> 40:00.120] With a fucking RSPCA on it.
[40:00.120 -> 40:02.520] I didn't kill any fish, okay, I respect animals.
[40:02.520 -> 40:04.600] No, Jake just struggled to get the hook out of the mouth.
[40:04.600 -> 40:05.000] So, but we removed it in the end. Yeah. It went back in the water and it was, I respect animals. No, Jake just struggled to get the hook out of the mouth.
[40:05.000 -> 40:06.320] But we removed it in the end,
[40:06.320 -> 40:07.920] it went back in the water and everything was fine.
[40:07.920 -> 40:09.000] Yeah.
[40:09.000 -> 40:10.160] Well, fishing's good fun,
[40:10.160 -> 40:11.480] we'll definitely do that for us.
[40:11.480 -> 40:13.160] Let's bring today's podcast to an end
[40:13.160 -> 40:14.640] because it's only a quick snappy bonus
[40:14.640 -> 40:16.160] because there's another bonus coming.
[40:16.160 -> 40:17.520] We're only 17 minutes in.
[40:17.520 -> 40:18.720] No, we're not, I can't even see it,
[40:18.720 -> 40:20.000] but it's not 17 minutes.
[40:20.000 -> 40:21.160] What do you think, Rowan?
[40:21.160 -> 40:22.440] Oh, I can't see the screen,
[40:22.440 -> 40:24.800] so should I guess how long we'll be going for?
[40:24.800 -> 40:26.500] I'm gonna go for 33 minutes.
[40:26.500 -> 40:28.000] Nah.
[40:28.000 -> 40:28.500] Am I wrong?
[40:28.500 -> 40:30.000] I'll give you one more guess.
[40:30.000 -> 40:32.000] 38.
[40:32.000 -> 40:33.000] 39.
[40:33.000 -> 40:34.000] 39 minutes?!
[40:34.000 -> 40:35.500] 39.51.
[40:35.500 -> 40:38.000] What have we been chatting about for 39 minutes?
[40:38.000 -> 40:40.000] Ross Brawn's multicoloured socks.
[40:40.000 -> 40:41.500] Give me your top three for Singapore, go.
[40:41.500 -> 40:46.040] Top three for Singapore, Max Verstappen in first, Nikolas Latifi in second and fucking
[40:46.040 -> 40:47.440] Esteban Ocon in ninth.
[40:47.440 -> 40:49.160] There you go.
[40:49.160 -> 40:50.160] Fab.
[40:50.160 -> 40:51.160] Sensible.
[40:51.160 -> 40:52.160] Carlos Sainz in third.
[40:52.160 -> 40:53.160] There you go.
[40:53.160 -> 40:54.160] And in second?
[40:54.160 -> 40:55.160] I just told you.
[40:55.160 -> 40:56.160] Nikolas Latifi.
[40:56.160 -> 40:57.160] Yep.
[40:57.160 -> 40:58.160] Okay, that can stand.
[40:58.160 -> 41:04.120] I'm going with George Russell first, Max Verstappen second, Charles Leclerc third, it goes to
[41:04.120 -> 41:09.680] Japan. Very solid prediction. The only reason I say Latifi in there is because he put in that
[41:09.680 -> 41:19.680] blinder qualifying in Budapest, in Hungary. Very tight track, very hard to overtake, same
[41:19.680 -> 41:23.340] as Singapore. Maybe Nicholas Latifi will qualify really well.
[41:23.340 -> 41:27.520] Something tells me that's wrong. I swear he did his good qualifying session in Silverstone we were sat in
[41:27.520 -> 41:31.120] the media room and then he made it out of Q1 and we were like oh my god he's out of Q1
[41:31.120 -> 41:34.880] we were in Silverstone media room. No no we were sat here it was it was Budapest
[41:34.880 -> 41:37.200] and Hungary.
[41:37.200 -> 41:41.200] Who actually knows ladies and gentlemen. I could be fucking wrong.
