It's Jake and Fab, we're here. It's currently Thursday, we're a little bit late,
[01:26.200 -> 01:28.240] once again, however, doesn't matter
[01:28.240 -> 01:29.580] because this is gonna be an epic pod
[01:29.580 -> 01:31.860] because I believe Jake has a little trick
[01:31.860 -> 01:32.720] up his sleeve today.
[01:32.720 -> 01:34.720] Let's not jump straight in with the tricks
[01:34.720 -> 01:35.680] I've got up my sleeve.
[01:35.680 -> 01:38.680] Let's give Fernando Alonso the credit he deserves
[01:38.680 -> 01:40.520] because we ended the last podcast
[01:40.520 -> 01:42.680] saying that he wasn't on the podium.
[01:42.680 -> 01:43.640] Of course.
[01:43.640 -> 01:46.440] But Fernando Alonso got his second podium
[01:46.440 -> 01:48.080] in his second race this season.
[01:48.080 -> 01:50.520] So clap for Fernando Alonso.
[01:50.520 -> 01:52.680] Oh, Fab's got a cup of tea.
[01:52.680 -> 01:54.760] Yes, clap for Fernando Alonso.
[01:54.760 -> 01:57.960] That is what we needed.
[01:57.960 -> 01:58.800] Yeah.
[01:58.800 -> 02:00.200] That is really exciting now.
[02:00.200 -> 02:02.000] It's what Aston Martin needed.
[02:02.000 -> 02:04.960] It's what Alonso needed to reignite that flame, you know?
[02:04.960 -> 02:09.840] If you had said to Aston Martin before the season, you can have two podiums this season,
[02:09.840 -> 02:14.080] they would have bit your hand off and they've had two podiums in two races.
[02:14.080 -> 02:17.120] I actually forgot that they got a podium in Bahrain.
[02:17.120 -> 02:17.600] Yeah.
[02:17.600 -> 02:19.200] As well, so that's two on the trot.
[02:19.200 -> 02:20.960] What do you reckon about Oz? Do you reckon a third one?
[02:21.760 -> 02:24.880] Oz is interesting, very interesting.
[02:24.880 -> 02:26.520] I have heard Aston Martin
[02:26.520 -> 02:30.340] say that Oz has not always been their greatest track. Well we're going to find out some things
[02:30.340 -> 02:34.440] about Australia in the Australia quiz that is coming up in today's episode. We promised
[02:34.440 -> 02:39.640] you at the end of the last pod the next episode is going to be a big quiz bonanza. Not only
[02:39.640 -> 02:44.240] is there an Australia quiz, but I also have five Formula One questions that I also want
[02:44.240 -> 02:45.000] you to answer so
[02:45.000 -> 02:46.920] we'll get into them at the end of the podcast.
[02:46.920 -> 02:49.800] How's your week been? How have you been?
[02:49.800 -> 02:53.280] Week's been good yeah, just been, we've been editing a lot.
[02:53.280 -> 02:55.000] A lot of editing.
[02:55.000 -> 02:59.360] Downloaded a new, for any of you editors out there, downloaded Premiere Pro, we've been
[02:59.360 -> 03:06.000] using Final Cut, decided to launch into editing a video the night that we downloaded it so had
[03:06.000 -> 03:10.620] no idea how to use it and it ended up taking two days to edit a video which
[03:10.620 -> 03:14.920] probably should have taken about four hours but considering that's the first video you've edited on
[03:14.920 -> 03:19.600] like Premiere Pro it's a good it's a good vid yeah the receptions been good
[03:19.600 -> 03:23.820] we weren't really sure if people were gonna like to see a video so for those
[03:23.820 -> 03:28.000] you who don't know me and Jake have started a championship yes that's right the pit stop
[03:28.000 -> 03:31.760] championship is here we've been speaking to these people for years about it we
[03:31.760 -> 03:36.080] have we have the last year we've been saying it yeah and it's on the f1 22
[03:36.080 -> 03:41.280] game by EA and I'm on the sim Jake's on the controller and we've just got a
[03:41.280 -> 03:44.880] little bit of a bit of a championship going on so it's gonna follow every race
[03:44.880 -> 03:48.360] in the f1 calendar we're backdate a little bit so we're
[03:48.360 -> 03:52.680] going to get up to speed but it hasn't gone swimmingly so far has it?
[03:52.680 -> 03:56.040] The only one that's up so far is Bahrain but we did film Saudi last night and
[03:56.040 -> 03:59.880] what happened in Saudi? Well you just have to wait and see on the episode
[03:59.880 -> 04:03.400] the episodes are commentated by Matt Gallagher as well well we don't know if
[04:03.400 -> 04:06.360] he's going to commentate them all but he commentated the first one it's really good he has't know if he's going to commentate them all, but he commentated the first one, and it's really good.
[04:06.360 -> 04:06.880] He has to.
[04:06.880 -> 04:08.800] We really need Matt to commentate them all.
[04:08.800 -> 04:11.400] All of the comments are just saying how good Matt is.
[04:11.400 -> 04:12.800] We need Matt for the rest of them.
[04:12.800 -> 04:15.440] But yeah, as a YouTube video, that's gone down really well.
[04:15.440 -> 04:16.960] It's got nearly 10,000 views.
[04:16.960 -> 04:18.160] It hasn't even been up a day.
[04:18.160 -> 04:20.200] So buzzing with that, if you want to go watch it,
[04:20.200 -> 04:21.480] it's on our YouTube pit stop.
[04:21.480 -> 04:22.840] It has gone down really well.
[04:22.840 -> 04:24.360] Do you know what hasn't gone down very well?
[04:24.360 -> 04:24.920] What?
[04:24.920 -> 04:25.840] The McLaren car. The Mc- what? This season? It's gone down really well. Do you know what hasn't gone down very well? What? The McLaren car.
[04:25.840 -> 04:26.960] The Mc- what, this season?
[04:26.960 -> 04:29.360] It's gone down like a bloody lead balloon, mate, I must admit.
[04:29.360 -> 04:32.720] There's been a few things we said on the last pod that people have picked us up on,
[04:32.720 -> 04:33.760] and we should go through them.
[04:33.760 -> 04:36.640] Firstly, everyone agrees that McLaren are terrible,
[04:37.280 -> 04:40.560] and McLaren released a statement 15 minutes ago
[04:40.560 -> 04:42.480] saying that they've, like, sacked someone.
[04:42.480 -> 04:44.880] They're, like, changing someone in the order of something.
[04:44.880 -> 04:46.480] Yes. So, change is going on at McLaren. A few people gunning for Zac Brown. saying that they've like sacked someone they're like changing someone in the order of something yes so changes going
[04:46.480 -> 04:48.480] on in McLaren a few people gunning for
[04:48.480 -> 04:51.560] Zac Brown. James Key is out. Is that who's
[04:51.560 -> 04:53.000] gone? That's the guy that's the guy's
[04:53.000 -> 04:55.240] name his name is James Key. Can you tell
[04:55.240 -> 04:56.880] me about James Key he definitely doesn't
[04:56.880 -> 04:59.000] have the key. He doesn't have the key he
[04:59.000 -> 05:05.320] doesn't have the secret. James doesn't have the secret. He hasn't got any of it apparently.
[05:05.320 -> 05:07.200] Well, I don't know, I shouldn't say that.
[05:07.200 -> 05:10.540] From what I've read, he's joined McLaren in 2019, right?
[05:10.540 -> 05:12.620] And they, you know, they did all right.
[05:12.620 -> 05:13.460] They've been okay.
[05:13.460 -> 05:17.020] They were third in the championships in 2021, I don't know.
[05:17.020 -> 05:17.860] I don't know.
[05:17.860 -> 05:18.820] I think they were doing okay.
[05:18.820 -> 05:19.660] They were doing all right.
[05:19.660 -> 05:20.540] But for some strange reason,
[05:20.540 -> 05:24.260] I think the way the cars change now,
[05:24.260 -> 05:25.640] they're struggling with the floor, whatever that means. The change now they're struggling with the floor
[05:25.640 -> 05:29.320] whatever that means, they're struggling with the floor and the aerodynamics so
[05:29.320 -> 05:33.080] basically they're booting out their technical director James Key.
[05:33.080 -> 05:36.360] Oh no. James you're gone mate. Well in the time we've been watching the sport
[05:36.360 -> 05:41.200] McLaren haven't done anything so we can very comfortably and fairly say the
[05:41.200 -> 05:44.840] McLaren isn't very good. No. Like it's the same reason when people give us gave us
[05:44.840 -> 05:46.120] shit about Danny Rick and we're like,
[05:46.120 -> 05:47.120] Danny Rick's great.
[05:47.120 -> 05:49.480] It's like, I've only ever seen Danny Rick be terrible.
[05:49.480 -> 05:55.120] Well, that's the thing though, is like McLaren had such a good stint at one point for a long
[05:55.120 -> 05:58.320] period of time, were reigning champions.
[05:58.320 -> 06:02.480] So if there is any team that's going to work their way out of the mud, I suppose it's going
[06:02.480 -> 06:03.480] to be McLaren.
[06:03.480 -> 06:08.360] Do you think the budget cap may have not worked for them? Because when you look at McLaren
[06:08.360 -> 06:12.040] as a team, you look at their base, you look at the money, clearly they're one of the richest
[06:12.040 -> 06:18.200] teams on the grid, but they're not able to produce the car. Do you reckon in years before
[06:18.200 -> 06:23.120] the budget cap, McLaren was successful because they would spend so much money?
[06:23.120 -> 06:28.160] I don't know, it's a hard one to judge because the way that I've kind of pieced this together in my head is that
[06:28.160 -> 06:33.280] there's just been a lot of change over the last couple of years. The car's completely changed.
[06:33.280 -> 06:38.760] They haven't been able to adapt to the new car, really, which is a bit of a shame.
[06:38.760 -> 06:41.200] But they are calling in Sir David Sanchez.
[06:41.200 -> 06:43.400] Oh, they've been replaced by Sir David Sanchez!
[06:43.400 -> 06:45.440] Sir David Sanchez from Ferrari, who've been replaced by Sir David Sanchez. Sir David Sanchez from Ferrari,
[06:45.440 -> 06:49.000] who I believe was actually at McLaren before.
[06:49.000 -> 06:50.800] How does this work?
[06:50.800 -> 06:54.000] We need to ask someone how moving between teams work.
[06:54.000 -> 06:56.240] That was one of my questions for Mikey.
[06:56.240 -> 06:58.440] I wanted to know whether it's like a driver market,
[06:58.440 -> 06:59.920] the same way for like engineers,
[06:59.920 -> 07:01.320] like do you bid for them?
[07:01.320 -> 07:04.160] Well, this brings me on to actually something else,
[07:04.160 -> 07:06.040] which I wanted to speak about because,
[07:06.040 -> 07:07.160] and I haven't got it written down
[07:07.160 -> 07:07.980] because I forgot about it,
[07:07.980 -> 07:09.940] but it's just coming to my head.
[07:09.940 -> 07:11.760] Aston Martin have someone from Red Bull now.
[07:11.760 -> 07:12.600] Yes.
[07:12.600 -> 07:14.600] The person that people commented on our episode
[07:14.600 -> 07:16.680] a lot about, is he called Ben Fellows?
[07:16.680 -> 07:17.640] That could be him.
[07:17.640 -> 07:19.120] I could have made that name up.
[07:19.120 -> 07:21.320] And if I've just said the name of one of my exes,
[07:21.320 -> 07:22.960] ex-partners or some shit,
[07:22.960 -> 07:24.560] that's gonna be really awkward.
[07:24.560 -> 07:25.440] It's something like that.
[07:25.440 -> 07:26.640] I swear that is it.
[07:26.640 -> 07:29.040] And apparently that person was from Red Bull.
[07:29.040 -> 07:29.880] Yeah.
[07:29.880 -> 07:30.720] And they bought a lot of design.
[07:30.720 -> 07:33.280] I think he was an aerodynamicist.
[07:33.280 -> 07:35.920] And he's obviously, because a lot of people have said
[07:35.920 -> 07:38.960] they asked him, mine looks like the Red Bull.
[07:38.960 -> 07:40.280] I wouldn't say it looks like a Red Bull.
[07:40.280 -> 07:42.680] I just say it looks like a championship winning car.
[07:42.680 -> 07:43.560] Do you know what I mean?
[07:43.560 -> 07:46.640] But I was gonna ask you the same question.
[07:46.640 -> 07:47.480] How does it work?
[07:47.480 -> 07:50.520] Because how much information can these guys bring?
[07:50.520 -> 07:53.880] Now you and me were lucky enough at my sister's wedding
[07:53.880 -> 07:56.800] to meet a guy who either worked or used to work at Williams.
[07:56.800 -> 07:58.480] That's right, I went to Fab's sister's wedding
[07:58.480 -> 07:59.320] as his plus one.
[07:59.320 -> 08:01.600] Yep, because I didn't have a plus one.
[08:01.600 -> 08:03.520] So Jake came, I would have invited you anyway, mate.
[08:03.520 -> 08:04.840] Thank you, thank you so much.
[08:04.840 -> 08:05.300] No worries. And this certain person was basically telling us, because I didn't have a plus one. So Jake came, I would have invited you anyway, mate. Thank you. Thank you so much.
[08:05.300 -> 08:06.140] No worries.
[08:06.140 -> 08:09.400] And this certain person was basically telling us,
[08:09.400 -> 08:11.120] so when you're leaving a team,
[08:11.120 -> 08:13.760] there's like a six month period where
[08:13.760 -> 08:17.240] you're still working for that team, but you're not.
[08:17.240 -> 08:19.260] So you're basically in isolation.
[08:19.260 -> 08:21.360] You can't go and see what the rest of the team
[08:21.360 -> 08:23.580] are working on and building,
[08:23.580 -> 08:25.000] because for the last six months,
[08:25.000 -> 08:26.520] they don't want you to take any of those updates or ideas.
[08:26.520 -> 08:28.680] They just lock you in a room.
[08:28.680 -> 08:29.500] That's what I took from it.
[08:29.500 -> 08:30.640] I don't get it.
[08:30.640 -> 08:32.280] What a waste of money.
[08:32.280 -> 08:33.120] What do you mean?
[08:33.120 -> 08:34.560] They're going to pay you to go into work
[08:34.560 -> 08:36.400] and sit in a room for six months.
[08:36.400 -> 08:38.500] Yeah, either that or they take all your ideas,
[08:38.500 -> 08:39.400] take them to another team
[08:39.400 -> 08:41.600] and then your team loses every year.
[08:41.600 -> 08:43.920] But surely this guy, if he's come straight from Red Bull,
[08:43.920 -> 08:47.760] has bought Red Bull's ideas over. Like there's no stopping that, surely? Well, that's
[08:47.760 -> 08:51.840] what I'm saying. So he would have probably had six months in ISO. Really?
[08:51.840 -> 08:56.280] Yeah, because all these new updates that Red Bull brought out, he would have just
[08:56.280 -> 08:59.560] taken them straight to Aston and said, this is my team now, this is who I'm
[08:59.560 -> 09:03.160] working with, I want us to win, let's rob all of the Red Bull ideas. I wonder how
[09:03.160 -> 09:06.520] much you can copy though. How much you can, well, to be fair,
[09:06.520 -> 09:09.360] the Aston Martin is still so much slower than the Red Bull.
[09:09.360 -> 09:11.320] That's the thing, we can get excited about the Aston Martin
[09:11.320 -> 09:12.720] and be buzzing that there's another team
[09:12.720 -> 09:15.120] that is actually gonna compete this year a little bit,
[09:15.120 -> 09:17.400] but they're probably not gonna be able to knock
[09:17.400 -> 09:19.120] Red Bull off the podium.
[09:19.120 -> 09:21.060] I saw Crofty answering a really interesting thing
[09:21.060 -> 09:22.080] on the Sky Sports pod.
[09:22.080 -> 09:23.080] Someone said to him,
[09:23.080 -> 09:27.060] do you think Red Bull will win every race this season?
[09:27.060 -> 09:27.900] Yeah.
[09:27.900 -> 09:29.560] Do you think they'll win every race this season?
[09:29.560 -> 09:30.780] No.
[09:30.780 -> 09:33.420] Interesting, because of like DNFs and stuff?
[09:34.400 -> 09:36.500] Or because they're not the quickest car?
[09:36.500 -> 09:38.160] It's quite sad to say that it comes down
[09:38.160 -> 09:41.140] to like DNFs and shit for Red Bull to not win,
[09:41.140 -> 09:42.460] but that's probably a big part of it.
[09:42.460 -> 09:43.300] It is, right.
[09:43.300 -> 09:49.800] But I do still think that there's other teams contesting it. Who? I don't know but for instance you know
[09:49.800 -> 09:54.680] when we watched last year I think it was Nikolas Satieffi in Hungary got into
[09:54.680 -> 09:58.000] fucking q1 didn't he or q2 and the only reason he didn't and he was in a
[09:58.000 -> 10:01.840] Williams. Silverstone he got q3. Was it? Yeah because we were there and I made the
[10:01.840 -> 10:05.400] video I was like what on earth is going on Nikolas Satieffi is in q3. And he did it again I think he got to q2 and then q3 something fucked up I made the video. I was like, what on earth is going on? Nicholas Satifi is in Q3.
[10:05.400 -> 10:06.240] And he did it again.
[10:06.240 -> 10:08.200] I think he got to Q2 and then Q3,
[10:08.200 -> 10:09.600] something fucked up right at the end
[10:09.600 -> 10:10.600] and it was a shame he didn't get it.
[10:10.600 -> 10:12.720] But that proves that, you know,
[10:12.720 -> 10:15.600] shit driver, shit car can do very well.
[10:15.600 -> 10:17.440] No offense, Nicholas Satifi or Williams.
[10:17.440 -> 10:18.920] But you know what I'm saying?
[10:18.920 -> 10:20.760] So it's open, mate.
[10:20.760 -> 10:22.600] The battlefield is open for anyone
[10:22.600 -> 10:25.200] who can just put those few seconds of quality in.
[10:25.200 -> 10:28.200] We saw Oskar Piastri, what, get to Q3.
[10:28.200 -> 10:29.200] Yeah, that was great.
[10:29.200 -> 10:32.200] So for him to do that, there's a lot of talk, mate.
[10:32.200 -> 10:33.400] There's a lot of talk going on.
[10:33.400 -> 10:35.200] You know, I've heard some people say, you know,
[10:35.800 -> 10:39.200] is Oskar Piastri going to become the lead driver for McLaren?
[10:39.200 -> 10:40.200] Like shit like that.
[10:40.200 -> 10:41.700] People are getting excited about Oskar now.
[10:41.700 -> 10:43.200] They are. They are really getting excited.
[10:43.200 -> 10:45.200] So we'll have to see what happens, mate. I think Oskar's definitely worth getting excited about Oscar now. They are, they are really getting excited. So we'll have to see what happens, mate.
[10:45.200 -> 10:46.960] I think Oscar's definitely worth getting excited
[10:46.960 -> 10:47.800] about as well.
[10:47.800 -> 10:48.620] He's going to be.
[10:48.620 -> 10:50.120] What do you think about Red Bull?
[10:50.120 -> 10:51.760] Do you think they're going to win every race?
[10:52.900 -> 10:54.360] I don't see that, right.
[10:54.360 -> 10:55.340] So here's the thing with Red Bull.
[10:55.340 -> 10:59.480] They haven't been affected by any of their penalties yet.
[10:59.480 -> 11:02.800] The Red Bull are still so quick because they overspent,
[11:02.800 -> 11:04.240] as we all know.
[11:04.240 -> 11:06.100] And, you know, I don't want to sit here and be like,
[11:06.100 -> 11:08.020] oh, Red Bull budget cap, Red Bull budget cap this,
[11:08.020 -> 11:10.400] but they haven't had any implemented penalties yet, really.
[11:10.400 -> 11:12.360] They've still had the same amount of everything.
[11:12.360 -> 11:14.080] The wind tunnel penalty will come in
[11:14.080 -> 11:15.220] in the middle of the season,
[11:15.220 -> 11:18.260] when Aston Martin will have like 30% more wind tunnel time.
[11:18.260 -> 11:19.100] Comes halfway through this season.
[11:19.100 -> 11:20.820] Than Red Bull, yeah.
[11:20.820 -> 11:22.100] They get it at the same time,
[11:22.100 -> 11:25.000] but Red Bull get 30% roughly less than Aston Martin.
[11:25.000 -> 11:27.080] It's like 27% or something like that.
[11:27.080 -> 11:30.700] So once that happens and teams start implementing upgrades,
[11:30.700 -> 11:33.680] you can imagine 30% of testing time on your new upgrades
[11:33.680 -> 11:35.200] is going to be a lot more.
[11:35.200 -> 11:37.440] Like 30% more is actually a lot.
[11:37.440 -> 11:38.480] Well, this is the thing, man.
[11:38.480 -> 11:42.060] This is why I like, I never get too excited during practice
[11:42.060 -> 11:43.640] and testing and stuff like that,
[11:43.640 -> 11:45.520] because there's so many upgrades
[11:45.520 -> 11:47.560] to come throughout the rest of the season
[11:47.560 -> 11:50.240] that if Aston Martin are doing this well now,
[11:50.240 -> 11:52.520] Red Bull have obviously got a 30% decrease
[11:52.520 -> 11:53.900] in their win tunnel time,
[11:53.900 -> 11:56.080] and then Aston Martin can push through that.
[11:56.080 -> 11:59.200] Genuinely, you could see Fernando Alonso
[11:59.200 -> 12:00.600] taking the World Drivers Championship,
[12:00.600 -> 12:03.640] something which I have preached all of last year,
[12:03.640 -> 12:05.000] and it was never heard.
[12:05.000 -> 12:05.840] No one agreed.
[12:05.840 -> 12:06.680] I'd love to hear it too.
[12:06.680 -> 12:08.240] I definitely would as well.
[12:08.240 -> 12:09.840] Not just you, the fans.
[12:09.840 -> 12:11.480] I don't, I think Fernando Alonso
[12:11.480 -> 12:12.440] will win a race this season.
[12:12.440 -> 12:14.120] I don't think Red Bull will win every race.
[12:14.120 -> 12:15.320] Like you said, reliability.
[12:15.320 -> 12:18.220] I do think Alonso will win a race,
[12:18.220 -> 12:22.320] but I do think Red Bull may have put their strongest car out
[12:22.320 -> 12:23.300] for race one.
[12:23.300 -> 12:28.880] And I do think they may have been the only team that have done that because they overdeveloped and spent more money and they've
[12:28.880 -> 12:33.920] probably had to do things in a weird way. I feel like they've put so much upgrades and
[12:33.920 -> 12:40.560] stuff onto that first car whereas Ferrari are saying like Baku, sorry McLaren are looking
[12:40.560 -> 12:47.800] at like Baku as well for big upgrades. I reckon you could see other teams close. I don't think we'll see Red Bull get much further away.
[12:47.800 -> 12:49.240] I think it will come back.
[12:49.240 -> 12:50.960] Do you know where I think the battle is?
[12:50.960 -> 12:52.760] Where's the battle?
[12:52.760 -> 12:55.720] I don't think the battle is with Red Bull and another team.
[12:55.720 -> 12:57.820] I think the battle is within Red Bull.
[12:59.800 -> 13:00.640] Yeah.
[13:00.640 -> 13:01.480] Okay.
[13:01.480 -> 13:04.840] There's been a lot, there's been a lot of stuff going on.
[13:04.840 -> 13:05.940] Well, I ain't going to back down
[13:05.940 -> 13:07.600] about what you said about Checo.
[13:07.600 -> 13:08.560] I do agree with that.
[13:08.560 -> 13:11.360] I completely disagree that it'll be Logan Sargent.
[13:11.360 -> 13:16.080] But I am struggling to get my head around the fact
[13:16.080 -> 13:17.360] that Checo will be a red drive,
[13:17.360 -> 13:18.880] red bull driver next year.
[13:18.880 -> 13:20.680] Even though he won last week.
[13:20.680 -> 13:22.000] I've done a bit of digging mate.
[13:22.000 -> 13:22.840] I've done a bit.
[13:22.840 -> 13:23.960] How far did you dig?
[13:23.960 -> 13:28.720] Not too far, just to F1 news now Now because News Now has the best news right now
[13:28.720 -> 13:33.520] so I don't think we really watched too much of the post race stuff last week
[13:33.520 -> 13:39.040] because we had to pod and everything else but apparently Jos Verstappen would
[13:39.040 -> 13:44.000] not even look at Sergio Perez after that race he completely blanked him he was
[13:44.000 -> 13:45.520] not a happy boy.
[13:45.520 -> 13:47.560] Right, Josh used to be a racing driver,
[13:47.560 -> 13:49.360] clearly a very competitive man.
[13:49.360 -> 13:51.960] He wants his son to be winning the whole time.
[13:51.960 -> 13:54.480] And there's actually been a little bit of internal
[13:54.480 -> 13:56.120] ruckus going on within Red Bull,
[13:56.120 -> 13:57.880] because you know, Christian Horner's basically
[13:57.880 -> 13:59.240] turned around and said like,
[13:59.240 -> 14:01.440] this is not Max Verstappen racing,
[14:01.440 -> 14:03.680] this is Red Bull racing.
[14:03.680 -> 14:05.000] They're trying.
[14:05.000 -> 14:05.840] And-
[14:05.840 -> 14:07.980] Can I just quickly credibility check this?
[14:07.980 -> 14:09.640] How do you know Christian Horn has turned around
[14:09.640 -> 14:10.480] and said that?
[14:10.480 -> 14:11.300] F1 news now.
[14:11.300 -> 14:13.800] So what, have you just read an article and-
[14:13.800 -> 14:16.320] Theexpress.co.uk, is that enough for you?
[14:17.420 -> 14:18.880] Chances are it could be bullshit,
[14:18.880 -> 14:19.720] but we'll run with it
[14:19.720 -> 14:21.480] because it might give us a good title for the pod.
[14:21.480 -> 14:22.560] Sky Sports?
[14:22.560 -> 14:24.120] Yeah, we can run with Sky Sports.
[14:24.120 -> 14:25.280] Or racefans.net.
[14:25.280 -> 14:26.880] I've got about four or five links here, mate.
[14:26.880 -> 14:27.720] So I'm fairly sure.
[14:27.720 -> 14:31.320] So we are quoting, we're quoting Christian Horner specifically.
[14:31.320 -> 14:32.640] We're quoting Christian Horner.
[14:32.640 -> 14:33.480] Okay.
[14:35.000 -> 14:36.440] And now I don't know where I am.
[14:36.440 -> 14:38.080] You've fucking messed me up.
[14:38.080 -> 14:38.920] Okay, so here.
[14:38.920 -> 14:40.760] Fab reading straight off a news article.
[14:40.760 -> 14:43.160] Literally reading it because I can't memorize this shit.
[14:43.160 -> 14:46.120] That basically there's just a lot of shit going on.
[14:46.120 -> 14:48.640] And you can obviously see, like Max,
[14:48.640 -> 14:50.600] he's always got a face like a bit of a slap tarts
[14:50.600 -> 14:52.000] every time he doesn't win.
[14:52.000 -> 14:53.460] And you would be, if you're competitive,
[14:53.460 -> 14:55.480] you're gonna be like, you know,
[14:55.480 -> 14:57.380] not happy that you haven't won.
[14:57.380 -> 15:01.280] But it is Red Bull, they have two drivers.
[15:01.280 -> 15:04.720] And Sergio Perez, you know, if he's out in front,
[15:04.720 -> 15:07.100] then he deserves to win the race.
[15:07.100 -> 15:09.460] It's not going to end well, no matter what,
[15:09.460 -> 15:10.440] it's not going to end well.
[15:10.440 -> 15:12.660] But then I start to think,
[15:12.660 -> 15:15.880] is Max and that really being like this
[15:15.880 -> 15:19.140] because they're a bit salty or does this go back
[15:19.140 -> 15:21.740] to the fucking prediction that I made
[15:21.740 -> 15:26.160] where they purposely put Max Verstappen's car out of the race in Saudi so
[15:26.160 -> 15:32.480] that Checo would win. I don't think they did that okay. You don't think, you don't know. I don't
[15:32.480 -> 15:37.200] know they didn't. I'm with you that there's something weird going on. There's definitely
[15:37.200 -> 15:42.960] something weird going on. Like I don't see how Red Bull will be able to have a car that quick
[15:42.960 -> 15:45.880] that can win every week and have two drivers that want to win every week.
[15:45.880 -> 15:47.040] It's just not going to happen.
[15:47.040 -> 15:50.240] Like realistically, the best thing Red Bull could have
[15:50.240 -> 15:53.540] would be like an Oscar Piastri with Verstappen
[15:53.540 -> 15:55.440] or someone really young, like a rookie
[15:55.440 -> 15:56.800] who might get in the points every week.
[15:56.800 -> 15:58.620] Cause they'd probably still win the constructors
[15:58.620 -> 16:00.800] if they had Max winning every week.
[16:00.800 -> 16:02.200] But if you've got Perez,
[16:02.200 -> 16:03.880] I really just don't know if Perez
[16:03.880 -> 16:05.120] is going to be there next year.
[16:05.120 -> 16:07.240] And I'm not saying that because I don't like Perez.
[16:07.240 -> 16:08.060] I love Perez.
[16:08.060 -> 16:09.720] He's actually one of my favorite drivers on the grid.
[16:09.720 -> 16:12.600] And we met him and we spoke to him and we've interviewed him
[16:12.600 -> 16:14.540] and we've really, I'd love him on the pod at some point.
[16:14.540 -> 16:17.160] He's a great guy, but I just don't think the dynamic
[16:17.160 -> 16:19.760] for a winning team, I don't know
[16:19.760 -> 16:21.760] if that's going to actually last.
[16:21.760 -> 16:22.600] I just don't know though.
[16:22.600 -> 16:24.800] Cause when you have, when you have someone like Max
[16:24.800 -> 16:25.320] on the team,
[16:25.320 -> 16:29.280] then that situation is gonna be the same issue
[16:29.280 -> 16:32.840] throughout whatever other driver comes and joins Red Bull.
[16:32.840 -> 16:34.000] But not if it's a rookie, right,
[16:34.000 -> 16:35.280] who is there for experience.
[16:35.280 -> 16:37.680] Like, admittedly, they might have a car that can win.
[16:37.680 -> 16:39.480] Okay, so yeah, what you're saying is right.
[16:39.480 -> 16:40.320] But all they're doing is-
[16:40.320 -> 16:41.480] Because if the rookie is suddenly behind Max,
[16:41.480 -> 16:43.040] then you're in the same problem.
[16:43.040 -> 16:45.040] I feel like they could just put a rookie in there just for Max, do you're in the same problem. I feel like they could like just put a rookie in there
[16:45.040 -> 16:48.000] just for Max, do you know what I mean?
[16:48.000 -> 16:51.280] Red Bull need Max if they want to continue winning
[16:51.280 -> 16:54.240] championships, they need him just as much as Max
[16:54.240 -> 16:56.720] needs Red Bull, they both need each other.
[16:56.720 -> 16:59.800] And then you've got this second driver who's sort of like
[16:59.800 -> 17:02.480] on the outskirts of this, like, it's like being in a three
[17:02.480 -> 17:06.720] way relationship, but like a polyamorous relationship whatever you're gonna call it but like
[17:06.720 -> 17:10.560] you're only sleeping with one of them and the other one's like why do I just
[17:10.560 -> 17:14.560] get kisses and cuddles? Why don't we have a bit of romping every now and again?
[17:14.560 -> 17:22.960] That's pretty much what it is. Great explanation, you should write it on Sky Sports that. That would be a way more in-depth explanation.
[17:22.960 -> 17:26.320] Sky Sports could only dream to have me on their website.
[17:26.320 -> 17:28.720] Jos Verstappen, to take it a step further,
[17:28.720 -> 17:31.880] has actually gone on the Verstappen.com website
[17:31.880 -> 17:33.960] and actually written an article about how
[17:33.960 -> 17:36.240] he basically thinks Red Bull aren't,
[17:36.240 -> 17:38.520] they're doing, in quotation marks,
[17:38.520 -> 17:43.520] exerting little influence on Max's journey towards victory.
[17:43.720 -> 17:47.040] I'm sorry, Jos Verstapp stabbing me, have a day off.
[17:47.040 -> 17:48.680] Have a fucking day off.
[17:48.680 -> 17:50.560] Like just shut your laptop, turn your phone off
[17:50.560 -> 17:52.080] and go to the beach or something.
[17:52.080 -> 17:54.700] Your son has won two world championships.
[17:54.700 -> 17:58.620] Like he is so young, he's got so many records.
[17:58.620 -> 18:00.260] Red Bull are doing an amazing job.
[18:00.260 -> 18:03.300] They're trying to balance the fact they've got two drivers.
[18:03.300 -> 18:04.740] Get off the website, okay?
[18:04.740 -> 18:07.760] But that does remind me, Perez's dad has been seen
[18:07.760 -> 18:09.200] on Facebook as well.
[18:09.200 -> 18:10.920] I've seen it, yeah, sharing.
[18:10.920 -> 18:13.680] There was a picture side by side of Joss and Max,
[18:13.680 -> 18:16.680] where like you said, Joss looks moody, Max looks moody.
[18:16.680 -> 18:18.480] And then there was a picture of Checo and his dad
[18:18.480 -> 18:19.840] hugging after the race.
[18:19.840 -> 18:22.240] And it's side by side and ESPN posted it.
[18:22.240 -> 18:23.880] And he like quoted it,
[18:23.880 -> 18:29.120] but I couldn't understand what it said because it didn't like some his language Mexican but it
[18:29.120 -> 18:31.520] just cracked me up because I was like why would you share that when you can
[18:31.520 -> 18:34.520] see the difference he's literally sharing the difference between him and
[18:34.520 -> 18:38.880] Sergio and Max and Joss and there's definitely some kind of dynamic going on
[18:38.880 -> 18:43.320] you know these drivers aren't best friends I think that's such an important
[18:43.320 -> 18:47.120] thing to remember some of them on the grid might be, but the majority of these people
[18:47.120 -> 18:52.240] genuinely don't see each other until the race weekend. Like they'll be going and
[18:52.240 -> 18:56.440] like train on their own with their trainers, they'll live on their own. They
[18:56.440 -> 18:59.840] don't meet up every day and go for coffee, you know what I mean? They meet up on race
[18:59.840 -> 19:02.840] weekends, they go away, they make their plans, maybe they're in the sim together,
[19:02.840 -> 19:06.320] I don't know. But it is a strange dynamic.
[19:06.320 -> 19:07.400] Let's just see what happens at Red Bull.
[19:07.400 -> 19:08.680] It is a really strange dynamic.
[19:08.680 -> 19:11.840] And then there's also other little bits and bobs
[19:11.840 -> 19:14.120] just floating about in a ether,
[19:14.120 -> 19:16.160] basically talking about, you know,
[19:16.160 -> 19:18.840] could Lewis end up going to Red Bull?
[19:18.840 -> 19:21.160] I saw that, but didn't Christian Horner come out and say no?
[19:21.160 -> 19:22.260] Christian Horner shut it down,
[19:22.260 -> 19:26.960] but I'd love to just, to think outside the box, how would you,
[19:26.960 -> 19:28.480] how'd you see that?
[19:28.480 -> 19:29.320] I don't, I-
[19:29.320 -> 19:31.840] How do you see Checo leaving,
[19:31.840 -> 19:34.840] and Lewis, Max, side by side at Red Bull?
[19:34.840 -> 19:37.480] I don't like making any predictions about Hamilton,
[19:37.480 -> 19:39.760] because when I did it before, when I said last week,
[19:39.760 -> 19:42.200] a couple of weeks ago, about maybe you go to Ferrari,
[19:42.200 -> 19:43.920] like I still think Hamilton could move
[19:43.920 -> 19:49.760] if the Mercedes is slow, but ultimately I want him to stay at McLaren. No, sorry, at Mercedes.
[19:49.760 -> 19:54.600] But what do you think the dynamic would be like at Red Bull? Not to make a prediction
[19:54.600 -> 19:57.640] to say it's going to happen but like how do you think?
[19:57.640 -> 20:02.480] How do you put Max and Lewis there when Lewis is the one that will be battling for his eighth
[20:02.480 -> 20:05.360] world championship and Max is also battling for world championship.
[20:05.360 -> 20:06.200] It would be disgusting.
[20:06.200 -> 20:07.040] That's never gonna happen.
[20:07.040 -> 20:08.400] Wouldn't you love to see it though?
[20:08.400 -> 20:10.160] Yes, I would.
[20:10.160 -> 20:12.180] I think each team should have three drivers.
[20:12.180 -> 20:13.480] Okay.
[20:13.480 -> 20:14.480] It wouldn't solve a lot,
[20:14.480 -> 20:16.480] but it would get a lot of rookies in there.
[20:16.480 -> 20:19.040] And it would just give a lot more driving time.
[20:19.040 -> 20:21.040] Yeah, I don't know if you want too many rookies
[20:21.040 -> 20:21.920] on the F1 grid though.
[20:21.920 -> 20:25.040] This is like, this is it. This is fucking it. I heard Alex Brund rookies on the F1 grid though, this is like, this is the, this is it.
[20:25.040 -> 20:26.120] This is fucking it.
[20:26.120 -> 20:28.840] I heard Alex Brundle talking about the F2
[20:28.840 -> 20:32.640] when, you know, Teo Porchia did crash into Oli Berman
[20:32.640 -> 20:33.760] in Saudi Arabia.
[20:33.760 -> 20:35.800] And he's saying like, look, it was a mistake.
[20:35.800 -> 20:36.920] Obviously it was a mistake.
[20:36.920 -> 20:40.080] F2 is the time to make those mistakes
[20:40.080 -> 20:42.160] and fucking make sure you don't make them again.
[20:42.160 -> 20:45.200] When you get to F1, there ain't room for that shit.
[20:45.200 -> 20:46.720] Yeah, I know that in F1, every race,
[20:46.720 -> 20:48.280] you get better every week.
[20:48.280 -> 20:51.840] But my opinion would be, by the time you make it to F1,
[20:51.840 -> 20:54.160] every driver on that grid is in a level of,
[20:54.160 -> 20:55.480] we are the best in the world.
[20:55.480 -> 20:56.760] You put them in the quickest car,
[20:56.760 -> 20:59.360] I'd assume pretty much any driver on that grid
[20:59.360 -> 21:02.240] could podium every week in the quickest car.
[21:02.240 -> 21:03.840] Like, they're all within.
[21:03.840 -> 21:05.520] It'd be a lot more money, wouldn't it?
[21:05.520 -> 21:06.360] Yeah.
[21:06.360 -> 21:07.640] Three drivers.
[21:07.640 -> 21:08.480] Well, yeah.
[21:08.480 -> 21:09.300] Three drivers per team.
[21:09.300 -> 21:10.200] That was a really interesting little
[21:10.200 -> 21:11.880] Formula One debate we had there.
[21:11.880 -> 21:13.360] Is this you segueing into the questions?
[21:13.360 -> 21:14.200] Well, I just think, you know,
[21:14.200 -> 21:16.400] there's only so long we can talk about Formula One
[21:16.400 -> 21:18.200] until we get a bit confused.
[21:18.200 -> 21:20.320] So we might as well jump into the quiz.
[21:20.320 -> 21:22.160] Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know where you're listening.
[21:22.160 -> 21:24.540] You might be on a bus, you might be on a train,
[21:24.540 -> 21:25.360] you might be at work,
[21:25.360 -> 21:27.320] you might be sat at home in your underpants,
[21:27.320 -> 21:29.340] but the Pit Stop Quiz is here.
[21:29.340 -> 21:31.440] We're gonna start off with five questions
[21:31.440 -> 21:34.040] that are just general Formula One.
[21:34.040 -> 21:36.400] And then we're gonna be moving forward to Australia
[21:36.400 -> 21:39.920] to test Fab's knowledge on the famous track,
[21:39.920 -> 21:42.520] sitting in the heart of Melbourne.
[21:42.520 -> 21:44.920] Wow, that could have been fucking crofty.
[21:44.920 -> 21:46.240] That was like poetic. In the heart of Albert. Wow, that could have been fucking crofty. That was like poetic.
[21:46.240 -> 21:48.360] In the heart of Albert Park.
[21:48.360 -> 21:49.360] Let's go.
[21:49.360 -> 21:51.560] All right, let's just start up straight away
[21:53.000 -> 21:55.160] with my first question.
[21:55.160 -> 21:57.280] Good luck to those of you playing along at home.
[21:57.280 -> 21:59.080] Five questions in the first round.
[21:59.920 -> 22:04.460] Name the five teams Fernando Alonso has raced for.
[22:05.700 -> 22:07.640] Now, if anyone could know the answer to this,
[22:07.640 -> 22:08.480] it should be you.
[22:08.480 -> 22:09.520] This is Australia based.
[22:09.520 -> 22:11.520] No, these are the five random ones first.
[22:11.520 -> 22:14.440] And Fernando Alonso is in the limelight right now.
[22:14.440 -> 22:16.000] Come on, let's, there's five teams
[22:16.000 -> 22:16.840] and we can go through them together.
[22:16.840 -> 22:21.840] Aston Martin, McLaren, Alpine, Renault,
[22:22.080 -> 22:23.400] and you said there's five?
[22:23.400 -> 22:24.240] Yeah.
[22:24.240 -> 22:25.520] One more, Ferrari. Five, you said there's five? Yeah. One more, Ferrari.
[22:25.520 -> 22:27.320] Five, bang, there we go.
[22:27.320 -> 22:28.160] Look, the F1.
[22:28.160 -> 22:29.680] I didn't click, I didn't click.
[22:29.680 -> 22:30.680] Yes.
[22:30.680 -> 22:32.200] Wasn't expecting you to get that.
[22:32.200 -> 22:33.680] I thought you might get stuck on Renault.
[22:33.680 -> 22:34.520] Nah, man.
[22:34.520 -> 22:35.480] Knowledge is getting better now.
[22:35.480 -> 22:37.160] That's who he was racing with when I saw him,
[22:37.160 -> 22:39.120] blue and yellow car, I can't forget it.
[22:39.120 -> 22:39.960] Can't forget the blue and yellow.
[22:39.960 -> 22:42.400] It actually was in 2006.
[22:42.400 -> 22:44.480] When he won Silverstone.
[22:44.480 -> 22:45.320] That's mad, isn't it?
[22:45.320 -> 22:48.160] That Fernando Alonso won Silverstone when you were 2006.
[22:48.160 -> 22:49.120] You were that little boy.
[22:49.120 -> 22:52.400] I was 11 years old and you know, 12 years later
[22:52.400 -> 22:54.280] or whatever it is, feels like 30 years later.
[22:54.280 -> 22:56.160] 12 years later, you were 11.
[22:56.160 -> 22:57.920] You were at 23, you're 27.
[22:57.920 -> 22:58.760] 14 years later.
[22:58.760 -> 23:00.160] 14 years later.
[23:00.160 -> 23:01.000] And we're sat there on the sofa.
[23:01.000 -> 23:02.760] He's out there and he's doing it again still.
[23:02.760 -> 23:04.320] And we've got his number one mechanic
[23:04.320 -> 23:05.120] coming to our flat to talk about it.
[23:05.120 -> 23:07.720] Just to say quickly, the most amazing thing about it
[23:07.720 -> 23:09.400] is the fact that he fucked it off
[23:09.400 -> 23:10.960] and he retired from F1.
[23:10.960 -> 23:11.880] And then came back.
[23:11.880 -> 23:12.960] What happened there?
[23:12.960 -> 23:13.800] Why did he retire?
[23:13.800 -> 23:15.840] And where was he before, Ferrari?
[23:15.840 -> 23:18.520] Yeah, and then he just decided, look.
[23:18.520 -> 23:19.640] Off the back of a win?
[23:19.640 -> 23:21.240] Off the back of a championship win or?
[23:21.240 -> 23:22.280] No, no, no, no, no.
[23:22.280 -> 23:23.320] Cause Rosberg did, didn't he?
[23:23.320 -> 23:24.680] Rosberg won and went, I'm out.
[23:24.680 -> 23:26.560] Yeah, but only cause poor guy was battling
[23:26.560 -> 23:27.760] with Lewis Hamill.
[23:27.760 -> 23:28.920] Once you won the championship,
[23:28.920 -> 23:31.600] you think, fuck that, I ain't ever doing that again.
[23:31.600 -> 23:32.960] Question number two.
[23:32.960 -> 23:35.820] Perfect answer from Fab on question number one.
[23:36.800 -> 23:37.640] Here we go.
[23:39.040 -> 23:42.480] I have won one Grand Prix.
[23:42.480 -> 23:44.960] I am 26 years old.
[23:44.960 -> 23:47.780] I won my only race at the Hungry Ring.
[23:49.020 -> 23:51.160] And I've been on the podium twice.
[23:51.160 -> 23:52.000] Who am I?
[23:52.000 -> 23:53.140] Esteban Ocon.
[23:53.140 -> 23:54.700] How do you know that?
[23:55.620 -> 23:58.300] Did you watch me get these off my laptop?
[23:58.300 -> 23:59.660] No, I just know who that is.
[23:59.660 -> 24:00.500] How?
[24:00.500 -> 24:02.460] What, because you knew he won at the Hungry Ring?
[24:02.460 -> 24:03.820] He's 26, I know he's young.
[24:03.820 -> 24:05.720] I know he's won one race.
[24:05.720 -> 24:07.800] And he's been on that podium a couple of times.
[24:07.800 -> 24:08.960] You've probably answered that
[24:08.960 -> 24:10.160] before a lot of the listeners have.
[24:10.160 -> 24:11.720] People are gonna think you're cheating
[24:11.720 -> 24:13.040] because it's audio only.
[24:13.040 -> 24:15.640] Well, fucking, fuck you guys.
[24:17.280 -> 24:22.280] Okay, James Vowles was chief strategist from 2010 to 2023.
[24:23.320 -> 24:24.360] But for which team?
[24:27.440 -> 24:30.480] I'm gonna need a multiple choice on that one. Okay, do you know who James Vowles is? Yeah, he's just gone over to Williams.
[24:30.480 -> 24:35.120] Yeah, Williams principal. He was chief strategist from 2010 to 2023
[24:35.120 -> 24:40.560] but for which team? McLaren, Aston Martin or Mercedes?
[24:40.560 -> 24:46.560] It would make sense if it was Mercedes but something tells me McLaren.
[24:46.560 -> 24:53.120] So I'm just gonna go with Mercedes.
[24:53.120 -> 24:53.960] Correct!
[24:53.960 -> 24:56.000] Mercedes was the right answer.
[24:56.000 -> 24:57.080] That's a big...
[24:57.080 -> 24:58.800] Three out of three!
[24:58.800 -> 25:00.800] Yeah, yeah, just keep clapping!
[25:00.800 -> 25:01.520] Myself on the back!
[25:01.520 -> 25:03.000] Clap your back!
[25:03.000 -> 25:08.400] You know that's a big sign in because if he's been their chief strategist from 2010 to 2023
[25:08.400 -> 25:13.700] He's been there for out all of them amazing years and Mercedes and now he's at Williams, and he's their principal
[25:13.700 -> 25:17.700] That is a big sign in yeah people were telling us about and the Williams looks good
[25:18.320 -> 25:24.120] This is why f1 is exciting mate stuff changes. I don't know it happens in every sport not even forest for instance
[25:24.240 -> 25:27.360] Arsenal top of the league. Not still.
[25:27.360 -> 25:31.360] Arsenal might win the Premier League in the year Pitstop has done well.
[25:31.360 -> 25:34.240] Didn't you just lose? You just lost something though. Yeah we're knocked out of the
[25:34.240 -> 25:37.200] Europa League but that doesn't matter. Who did you lose against? Sporting Lisbon.
[25:37.200 -> 25:41.800] I've never even heard of them to be honest. Yes you have. Sporting Lisbon not really. No?
[25:41.800 -> 25:46.720] Ronaldinho played for them. Ronaldinho didn't pay for them
[25:46.720 -> 25:49.160] actually Ronaldinho might pay for them I don't even know
[25:49.160 -> 25:52.520] let's not drop into football chat I'll start getting ripped for another sport
[25:52.520 -> 25:57.200] okay Lando Norris has a dual nationality
[25:57.200 -> 26:00.920] yep but can you tell me which country
[26:00.920 -> 26:08.280] Belgium I am this is bullshit the best about it is that you sat on this
[26:08.280 -> 26:17.960] over three hours getting these questions. How do you know that? Have you asked me that? Did we do this like last year or something? I just know mate, I just know, I just know the answer to
[26:17.960 -> 26:22.480] everything. And we've got good knowledge because we know stuff that we're not
[26:22.480 -> 26:25.360] allowed to say. Yeah. We're having guests on.
[26:25.360 -> 26:28.720] One day, one day, let me tell you,
[26:28.720 -> 26:31.400] when we leave the amazing sport of Formula One, one day,
[26:31.400 -> 26:33.280] there's going to be a lot of naughty stuff being said.
[26:33.280 -> 26:34.920] Then it's going to be fantastic.
[26:34.920 -> 26:36.960] I do want to make one disclaimer really quickly
[26:36.960 -> 26:38.520] because of you talking about guests.
[26:38.520 -> 26:42.040] Guys, we're still trying to get some females
[26:42.040 -> 26:45.320] on the Pit Stop podcast because we know that we're lacking.
[26:45.320 -> 26:47.220] It's not through not trying.
[26:47.220 -> 26:50.940] We are not purposely just targeting women,
[26:50.940 -> 26:53.820] but there are definitely a handful of women
[26:53.820 -> 26:56.420] that we know we're friends with in the sport
[26:56.420 -> 26:58.420] who we really are trying to get on the pod
[26:58.420 -> 27:00.020] and they're just not able to.
[27:00.020 -> 27:02.260] Yeah, a lot of it does come down to approvals
[27:02.260 -> 27:03.100] and who we can get.
[27:03.100 -> 27:05.240] It's not just women, there's men that we can't get as well.
[27:05.240 -> 27:08.440] But we've got a few of our friends that are women
[27:08.440 -> 27:09.960] that we really want on, we're struggling with.
[27:09.960 -> 27:14.000] Yeah, actually one is able to come on, just not just now.
[27:14.000 -> 27:15.880] But if anyone does have any recommendations,
[27:15.880 -> 27:17.240] our Instagram is at pitstop.
[27:17.240 -> 27:19.520] Please do send through who you would love to have on
[27:19.520 -> 27:22.760] or same way backwards, if you're listening to this
[27:22.760 -> 27:24.560] and you have an amazing story to tell.
[27:24.560 -> 27:25.720] Maybe you work in Formula One
[27:25.840 -> 27:28.660] maybe you do something crazy send us a message and
[27:29.440 -> 27:34.420] Maybe you can come on the show. All right, but that's the end of the first little section. So four out of five
[27:34.600 -> 27:38.680] What did I miss you didn't get the oh, sorry. Sorry. There's one left
[27:39.080 -> 27:45.360] Who holds the record for the most wins in Formula One in one season? In one season Max. When?
[27:45.360 -> 27:50.160] Last year. That's a bonus question. Yeah just checking you remembered last year.
[27:50.160 -> 27:56.000] Yeah. Okay Australia! That's five out of five. Yeah it's five out of five. That's tasty.
[27:56.000 -> 28:00.840] Maybe just let everyone know that the Australia section is gonna be nowhere
[28:00.840 -> 28:04.480] near as strong. You're not gonna do a five out of five. Oh this is gonna be hard is it?
[28:04.480 -> 28:05.940] Yeah I mean don't get me wrong.
[28:05.940 -> 28:08.060] There's a couple in here that I know you know the answer to.
[28:08.060 -> 28:08.900] Okay.
[28:08.900 -> 28:09.720] Because you've already answered one of them.
[28:09.720 -> 28:10.560] But Albert Park.
[28:10.560 -> 28:12.300] So let's start really, really basic.
[28:12.300 -> 28:14.820] What is the name of the Australian F1 circuit?
[28:14.820 -> 28:15.660] Albert Park?
[28:15.660 -> 28:16.480] One out of one.
[28:16.480 -> 28:17.320] God!
[28:18.540 -> 28:20.780] Right, okay, let's go for a perfect 10 out of 10.
[28:20.780 -> 28:23.220] No leg, don't get your leg away from me.
[28:23.220 -> 28:25.600] I'm just excited, I can't believe this.
[28:25.600 -> 28:29.680] How many laps at the Melbourne Grand Prix?
[28:30.880 -> 28:35.880] 64, 68, or 58?
[28:36.000 -> 28:38.680] Oh, see, I thought it was in the 70s.
[28:38.680 -> 28:39.520] Did you?
[28:39.520 -> 28:40.480] No, I don't know why I thought that,
[28:40.480 -> 28:41.720] because it's a big track.
[28:42.980 -> 28:44.120] Read them out again.
[28:44.120 -> 28:48.500] 68, 64, or 58?
[28:48.500 -> 28:50.340] 68, 64, 58.
[28:50.340 -> 28:52.400] There's not a lot of margin there, my friend.
[28:52.400 -> 28:53.240] No.
[28:53.240 -> 28:54.240] There is not a lot of margin there.
[28:54.240 -> 28:56.000] Within 10 laps, all three of them.
[28:57.640 -> 29:01.200] 64, 68, or 58?
[29:01.200 -> 29:04.400] I'm gonna go slap bang in the middle with 64.
[29:05.520 -> 29:08.960] And I'm gonna give you your first wrong answer of the day.
[29:08.960 -> 29:10.760] That is, you look sad.
[29:10.760 -> 29:11.880] Yeah, what is it?
[29:11.880 -> 29:15.440] It's 58. 58 laps in the Australian Grand Prix.
[29:15.440 -> 29:16.760] Sorry about that, mate.
[29:16.760 -> 29:18.360] Yeah, no worries.
[29:18.360 -> 29:19.880] Can promise you it's only getting harder.
[29:19.880 -> 29:20.720] Okay.
[29:20.720 -> 29:23.960] When was the first Grand Prix at the Melbourne circuit?
[29:23.960 -> 29:24.800] 2017.
[29:26.720 -> 29:27.560] Is it multiple choice?
[29:27.560 -> 29:28.380] Yes.
[29:28.380 -> 29:33.380] 2004, 1996, or 1999?
[29:34.320 -> 29:39.120] Oh, oh, oh, I'm gonna go 99.
[29:40.700 -> 29:43.200] Incorrect, it was 1996.
[29:43.200 -> 29:45.420] Shit, see I would have said 2004, so.
[29:45.420 -> 29:48.500] Disclaimer, someone might be sat there
[29:48.500 -> 29:50.620] thinking that's wrong,
[29:50.620 -> 29:53.540] and it's just hit me that that could be wrong.
[29:53.540 -> 29:56.000] I am aware that the Australian, no, no, hear me out.
[29:56.000 -> 29:57.260] The Australian Grand Prix has obviously
[29:57.260 -> 29:58.620] been around for longer than that.
[29:58.620 -> 29:59.460] Yes.
[29:59.460 -> 30:02.700] But it's become Albert Park as that venue.
[30:02.700 -> 30:03.540] Yeah.
[30:03.540 -> 30:07.160] Since I believe 1996.
[30:08.960 -> 30:11.920] Let's just quickly move past that one as quick as we can.
[30:11.920 -> 30:13.320] I don't actually get a half point for that.
[30:13.320 -> 30:15.000] Yeah, you don't get anything.
[30:15.000 -> 30:15.840] Point five.
[30:15.840 -> 30:16.680] I think it's 1996.
[30:16.680 -> 30:17.500] Point five.
[30:17.500 -> 30:19.640] Who holds the lap record at Albert Park?
[30:19.640 -> 30:21.520] With a 1.24, 1.25.
[30:21.520 -> 30:23.000] Shit, I know it, I know it.
[30:23.000 -> 30:24.220] Give me the multiple choice.
[30:24.220 -> 30:25.600] The multiple choice is Schumacher
[30:26.160 -> 30:28.160] Hamilton or Vettel
[30:29.240 -> 30:33.600] Bottas no, it's cuz every every week we know Bottas has got fast
[30:37.040 -> 30:42.220] Worth guessing but yeah Schumacher Hamilton or Vettel, who do you think has the fastest lap our park?
[30:43.040 -> 30:48.120] See, that's that's three names there from like the fucking V6, V8, V12.
[30:48.120 -> 30:54.600] It's a 1.24, 1.25 so when you're watching it this weekend, you will know that the fastest
[30:54.600 -> 30:55.600] lap ever was a 1.24.
[30:55.600 -> 30:57.600] I might have to Google what the current.
[30:57.600 -> 30:59.240] No, you're not.
[30:59.240 -> 31:03.360] You've just got to guess Schumacher, Hamilton or Vettel.
[31:03.360 -> 31:04.360] I don't.
[31:04.360 -> 31:05.520] I'm just, I'm going to go Hamilton. And, Hamilton or Vettel. I don't...
[31:07.200 -> 31:07.680] I'm just... I'm gonna go Hamilton.
[31:08.800 -> 31:09.440] And you're gonna be wrong. Shit.
[31:09.440 -> 31:10.800] The answer was Schumacher.
[31:10.800 -> 31:11.600] Shit.
[31:11.600 -> 31:13.600] Yes. It's very shit.
[31:13.600 -> 31:16.080] How many DRS zones at Melbourne Park?
[31:16.080 -> 31:16.720] Three.
[31:17.520 -> 31:18.240] Incorrect.
[31:18.240 -> 31:19.120] No, it's two.
[31:19.120 -> 31:19.920] Incorrect.
[31:19.920 -> 31:20.480] Shit.
[31:20.480 -> 31:21.440] It's four.
[31:21.440 -> 31:22.080] No, they're eight.
[31:22.080 -> 31:24.560] There is four DRS zones this weekend.
[31:24.560 -> 31:25.600] No, there is not. There is. Where? There is four DRS zones this weekend. No there is not.
[31:25.600 -> 31:26.600] There is.
[31:26.600 -> 31:27.600] Where?
[31:27.600 -> 31:28.600] There is four DRS zones.
[31:28.600 -> 31:29.600] Where?
[31:29.600 -> 31:32.060] I saw it on Twitter.
[31:32.060 -> 31:33.060] There is.
[31:33.060 -> 31:37.660] So you want to ask me about how creditable my information is when I've got Sky Sports,
[31:37.660 -> 31:42.460] The Express and fucking F1 RaceNet news up and then you rip something off Twitter and
[31:42.460 -> 31:43.460] apparently it's fact.
[31:43.460 -> 31:48.480] I've, no, I've been reading about there being four DRS zones at the Australian Grand Prix for a while
[31:48.480 -> 31:49.480] now.
[31:49.480 -> 31:51.600] Wasn't there three and they added one?
[31:51.600 -> 31:55.800] Yes, but no, there was going to be added last year, but Fernando Alonso said it was too
[31:55.800 -> 31:58.680] dangerous and now they've added the fourth again.
[31:58.680 -> 32:01.320] A wise man with weight to his words.
[32:01.320 -> 32:07.440] Well that's the thing, when the king speaks you'd expect everyone to listen listen so I'm actually quite confused that there's a fourth DRS zone.
[32:07.440 -> 32:11.760] Interesting. And if Alonso wants it taken away then I'll go there myself. And take
[32:11.760 -> 32:14.920] it out. And just take it out the ground whatever the DRS zone.
[32:14.920 -> 32:18.720] Just repaint over the line. Yeah just take it out. So I think there's four.
[32:18.720 -> 32:23.200] God, don't you just love it when you come to the Pit Stop podcast and you play a quiz where the
[32:23.200 -> 32:25.080] host thinks he knows the answer?
[32:25.080 -> 32:26.080] It's great.
[32:26.080 -> 32:27.080] It's awesome.
[32:27.080 -> 32:30.680] No, it did definitely say there's four DRS zones, which will be interesting.
[32:30.680 -> 32:32.200] That will be bloody interesting.
[32:32.200 -> 32:33.200] And if there's only three then sorry.
[32:33.200 -> 32:35.680] Then I won't be able to keep myself together when I'm watching the race.
[32:35.680 -> 32:37.640] The Australian, it's going to be an early one.
[32:37.640 -> 32:38.880] Oh, of course it is!
[32:38.880 -> 32:40.600] Do you remember when we woke up last year?
[32:40.600 -> 32:41.600] Yeah.
[32:41.600 -> 32:42.600] At like 5am.
[32:42.600 -> 32:43.600] 6, yeah.
[32:43.600 -> 32:45.040] And we was eating McDonald's brekkie.
[32:45.040 -> 32:46.560] We're going to be doing that, and your pork,
[32:46.560 -> 32:49.000] you promised to never eat pork again last year
[32:49.000 -> 32:49.960] for the Australian Grand Prix
[32:49.960 -> 32:51.640] whilst you were eating your McDonald's.
[32:51.640 -> 32:52.480] I've got to say.
[32:52.480 -> 32:53.400] How's that going?
[32:53.400 -> 32:56.920] I've got to say, we don't buy bacon in this house.
[32:56.920 -> 32:57.760] No.
[32:57.760 -> 32:58.580] We don't buy sausages.
[32:58.580 -> 32:59.480] No.
[32:59.480 -> 33:01.080] I do eat ham.
[33:01.080 -> 33:01.920] Yeah.
[33:01.920 -> 33:05.000] I do eat ham, but you know, no sausages, no bacon.
[33:05.120 -> 33:07.280] We don't buy pork roasting joints.
[33:07.280 -> 33:08.580] We don't really do that.
[33:08.580 -> 33:11.960] So actually, considering I haven't made a conscious effort
[33:11.960 -> 33:13.880] not to, I don't really eat a lot of pork.
[33:13.880 -> 33:18.120] Yeah, we mostly like just rice, pasta, salads, fruits.
[33:18.120 -> 33:19.600] You can shut the fuck up.
[33:19.600 -> 33:20.880] Okay, moving to Leon.
[33:20.880 -> 33:23.120] While I've been slaving over the oven over there,
[33:23.120 -> 33:24.920] I hear a knock at the door and you've got a six chicken,
[33:24.920 -> 33:26.440] I get large meal coming to the door.
[33:26.440 -> 33:28.640] Nothing beats Ronald McDonald.
[33:28.640 -> 33:30.960] The Australian Grand Prix is under contract
[33:30.960 -> 33:34.560] to remain on the F1 calendar until when?
[33:34.560 -> 33:39.320] 2027, 2030, or 2035?
[33:39.320 -> 33:41.320] I think it's just been renewed, hasn't it?
[33:42.480 -> 33:47.960] And I know a few tracks have so it could be 2035 what are we
[33:47.960 -> 33:53.920] 2023 now? So would you extend it like four years and I said it last year then
[33:53.920 -> 33:57.160] it could've been five years this could have been the extra year. I like
[33:57.160 -> 34:03.520] your thinking there. Yeah you've got 2027, 2030 or 2035. Complete shot in the
[34:03.520 -> 34:09.840] dark to be honest mate. For some reason I got 20, I've got three in my head.
[34:10.080 -> 34:11.320] Oh, have you had such interest?
[34:11.320 -> 34:12.320] There's three answers.
[34:12.320 -> 34:13.680] So it could be, there's three answers.
[34:13.680 -> 34:16.320] It could be 2030, could be 2035.
[34:16.320 -> 34:20.680] I don't think they would extend a track for 12 years,
[34:20.680 -> 34:22.400] especially Australia.
[34:22.400 -> 34:23.240] Australia.
[34:23.240 -> 34:24.060] Do you know what I mean?
[34:24.060 -> 34:24.900] Mark Webber.
[34:24.900 -> 34:25.440] You don't really know what the
[34:25.440 -> 34:33.720] fuck's going on down here. Now! It won't be 2035 it could be 2030 it could be 2027
[34:33.720 -> 34:36.920] I'm gonna say 27 I'm gonna say they renewed it last year for an extra five
[34:36.920 -> 34:42.580] years. That would be reasonable wouldn't it? It doesn't sound like it is though.
[34:42.580 -> 34:51.480] But the crazy thing is it's 2035. Shut up. That is a long time to have, I mean it's a great circuit. An extra 12 years.
[34:51.480 -> 34:55.680] Yeah that is a big extension isn't it? That's a big big extension. See it's funny we see
[34:55.680 -> 34:59.640] all this stuff happening in Formula One now and the change is happening, what the fuck
[34:59.640 -> 35:07.280] are they thinking 10 years ahead? Cars driving upside down, I tell you. I just find it weird that the tracks can change every year
[35:07.280 -> 35:09.160] and it isn't a set calendar.
[35:09.160 -> 35:10.040] It will change a lot,
[35:10.040 -> 35:12.180] but I don't know about going upside down.
[35:12.180 -> 35:13.880] The fact that there's new tracks every year
[35:13.880 -> 35:14.720] is really strange,
[35:14.720 -> 35:15.800] because that's like having the Premier League
[35:15.800 -> 35:17.440] and there'll be a new football teams every week.
[35:17.440 -> 35:18.260] Do you know what?
[35:18.260 -> 35:19.720] There was one bloke, yeah,
[35:19.720 -> 35:21.200] who got trains all of his life.
[35:21.200 -> 35:23.620] And he thought, I love trains.
[35:23.620 -> 35:24.460] I do love them.
[35:24.460 -> 35:25.100] I do rate
[35:25.100 -> 35:28.800] trains but they're just a little guy on tick-tock but that no no no just just
[35:28.800 -> 35:33.440] Francis Bourgeois just a certain guy and he thought I love trains so much but
[35:33.440 -> 35:36.640] they're just a bit boring hmm so then he invented the roller coaster
[35:36.640 -> 35:38.640] Big Ada!
[35:38.640 -> 35:40.640] Yeah carry on sorry. Nothing to do with Big Ada.
[35:40.640 -> 35:42.640] I'm trying to guess who it is. We don't talk about Big Ada on this pod.
[35:42.640 -> 35:44.640] Okay sorry.
[35:44.640 -> 35:46.280] And then he invented the roller coaster, my friend.
[35:46.280 -> 35:47.120] So.
[35:47.120 -> 35:48.560] What, the guy who invented the roller coaster
[35:48.560 -> 35:50.480] come from a train?
[35:51.600 -> 35:54.240] Well, it's like a train that goes upside down, innit?
[35:54.240 -> 35:56.280] What, he was a train driver?
[35:56.280 -> 35:57.600] Well, nah.
[35:57.600 -> 35:59.680] I'm just hypothetically fucking speaking here.
[35:59.680 -> 36:03.160] Like, you have a train, you turn it into a roller coaster.
[36:03.160 -> 36:04.640] If you got an F1 car.
[36:04.640 -> 36:07.200] How is a train anything like a roller coaster?
[36:07.200 -> 36:08.040] Come on.
[36:08.040 -> 36:09.320] What, because they're on a track?
[36:09.320 -> 36:11.480] And there's carriages where people sit on it.
[36:11.480 -> 36:13.120] Yeah, all right.
[36:13.120 -> 36:13.960] Yeah.
[36:13.960 -> 36:17.200] So then, this fucking joke has gone on for way too long.
[36:17.200 -> 36:20.920] Next question, next question, next question.
[36:20.920 -> 36:23.000] Basically, F1 cars will be driving upside down
[36:23.000 -> 36:23.960] at one point, they will.
[36:23.960 -> 36:28.400] The Australian Grom, I've already done that one. Which constructor has the most wins at
[36:28.400 -> 36:32.000] Albert Park? Okay, now I'm expecting you to get this.
[36:32.000 -> 36:35.000] Okay. Yeah, which constructor has the most wins?
[36:35.000 -> 36:40.000] Mercedes, Ferrari, Williams, or McLaren?
[36:42.000 -> 36:45.000] Williams. I'm going with Williams.
[36:47.120 -> 36:48.480] That's uncracked.
[36:49.640 -> 36:51.640] Can I get a second chance?
[36:51.640 -> 36:54.240] Yes. What would you like to guess, McLaren?
[36:54.240 -> 36:55.080] Incracked.
[36:55.080 -> 36:55.900] Ah!
[36:56.820 -> 36:58.120] Ferrari.
[36:58.120 -> 36:59.540] 13. That's what I mean.
[36:59.540 -> 37:01.320] So when I was saying to you, it's Schumacher
[37:01.320 -> 37:03.640] with the fastest lap, which you didn't get right.
[37:03.640 -> 37:05.600] Schumacher liked this track. I didn't get that one right. He's got four wins around here. I know that. And there Schumacher with the fastest lap, which you didn't get right. Schumacher liked this track.
[37:05.600 -> 37:06.600] I didn't get that one right.
[37:06.600 -> 37:07.920] He's got four wins around here.
[37:07.920 -> 37:08.760] I know that.
[37:08.760 -> 37:09.880] And there's another driver with four wins
[37:09.880 -> 37:11.120] who is also Australian.
[37:12.320 -> 37:14.240] A lot of Australians have a lot of wins.
[37:14.240 -> 37:15.580] I can't tell you the name,
[37:15.580 -> 37:17.680] but I can tell you it was in like 1960.
[37:17.680 -> 37:18.600] That's a long time ago.
[37:18.600 -> 37:19.440] Why can't you tell me his name?
[37:19.440 -> 37:20.760] Can't remember.
[37:20.760 -> 37:21.760] Saw it on Wikipedia.
[37:21.760 -> 37:22.600] Oh.
[37:22.600 -> 37:23.800] Credible source.
[37:23.800 -> 37:26.040] However you can change people's Wikipedias.
[37:26.040 -> 37:26.880] There's an Austra...
[37:26.880 -> 37:29.320] So you're telling me there's an Australian racing driver
[37:29.320 -> 37:31.960] that you have Wikipedia'd to find out
[37:31.960 -> 37:34.920] that he's got four wins and you don't even know his name?
[37:34.920 -> 37:36.400] No, that's not what I'm saying to you at all, okay?
[37:36.400 -> 37:37.560] You're taking things out of context.
[37:37.560 -> 37:41.160] I've Googled F1 records to get some questions for the quiz.
[37:41.160 -> 37:42.000] Yeah.
[37:42.000 -> 37:45.200] In return, have noticed that Michael Schumacher
[37:45.200 -> 37:48.920] has four wins at the Australian Grand Prix.
[37:48.920 -> 37:51.600] And I've also noticed another driver has four wins
[37:51.600 -> 37:52.440] at the Australian Grand Prix.
[37:52.440 -> 37:53.600] But he didn't have his name written.
[37:53.600 -> 37:55.500] But I didn't take his name down.
[37:55.500 -> 37:57.520] Because this question is about the constructors,
[37:57.520 -> 37:58.560] not the driver.
[37:58.560 -> 38:00.000] You've read a Wikipedia page.
[38:00.000 -> 38:01.360] Fuck off, just shut up.
[38:01.360 -> 38:04.320] About 45 minutes ago.
[38:04.320 -> 38:07.880] Who won the Australian Grand Prix last year?
[38:07.880 -> 38:10.240] When we were sat in that room,
[38:10.240 -> 38:15.120] who took home the victory whilst we were half asleep?
[38:15.120 -> 38:16.520] Come on, I need you to think about this.
[38:16.520 -> 38:17.960] I need multiple choice, mate.
[38:17.960 -> 38:22.960] Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, or Sergio Perez?
[38:23.120 -> 38:24.680] This should be basic.
[38:25.480 -> 38:27.380] I mean, admittedly, if you'd asked me
[38:27.380 -> 38:29.960] and I hadn't Googled it, I probably would have forgot.
[38:29.960 -> 38:30.920] I ain't got a clue.
[38:30.920 -> 38:33.400] Max would be the obvious choice, but I'm gonna go.
[38:34.280 -> 38:36.580] Let's think about it like this.
[38:36.580 -> 38:39.160] First race of the season last year, Ferrari won.
[38:39.160 -> 38:41.600] Second race of the season, Red Bull won.
[38:41.600 -> 38:42.960] Third race of the season.
[38:45.640 -> 38:50.880] Charles Leclerc. Charles Leclerc absolutely correct glad you got that one yeah give yourself a
[38:50.880 -> 38:54.720] clap for the easiest question we have two questions remaining hope you're
[38:54.720 -> 38:58.560] enjoying yourselves at home or wherever you are how many other questions are
[38:58.560 -> 39:03.320] there two in total ten there was five before there wasn't there and this is
[39:03.320 -> 39:08.160] five now no these are the last two, these were the 10 Australian ones. You just saw my phone. The 10 Australian questions.
[39:08.160 -> 39:12.520] You just saw my phone. I didn't read it. Yeah? Couldn't read it. If you get the answer right
[39:12.520 -> 39:14.960] then we're gonna know where that came from anyway. I couldn't read it, it was on my friggin
[39:14.960 -> 39:29.420] phone alright. Oscar Pia driver who will be racing that weekend
[39:29.660 -> 39:34.060] so there's gonna be some other Australian drivers there yeah just
[39:34.060 -> 39:41.180] forgotten his name Marcus Marcus so that's really bad considering today and
[39:41.180 -> 39:45.480] the fact that he's not Australian. Where the fuck's Marcus from?
[39:45.480 -> 39:47.400] I'm pretty sure he's from New Zealand,
[39:47.400 -> 39:49.840] but we'll Google that now because we may have to cut this bit.
[39:49.840 -> 39:50.680] Oh shit.
[39:50.680 -> 39:52.160] Get on your laptop now, okay?
[39:52.160 -> 39:53.120] How bad is this, right?
[39:53.120 -> 39:53.960] We're gonna go and see him
[39:53.960 -> 39:56.360] and I haven't even ever watched IndyCar.
[39:56.360 -> 39:58.320] I hope he doesn't ever listen to this.
[39:58.320 -> 39:59.280] What's his surname?
[39:59.280 -> 40:00.480] Armstrong.
[40:00.480 -> 40:02.560] Marcus, Marcus Armstrong!
[40:02.560 -> 40:03.680] Ah, it's from New Zealand!
[40:03.680 -> 40:04.800] It's from New Zealand!
[40:04.800 -> 40:07.600] All right, well, it's- So Marcus from New Zealand! It's from New Zealand! Alright, so Marcus can't pass.
[40:07.600 -> 40:09.600] It's the other guy. It's the other guy.
[40:09.600 -> 40:10.600] Um...
[40:12.000 -> 40:14.000] Marcus Dennis Hager...
[40:14.000 -> 40:16.000] Um...
[40:16.000 -> 40:19.000] I fucking know there is an F2 driver. I've just completely forgotten his name.
[40:19.000 -> 40:21.000] You're so close. I'm gonna give you a clue.
[40:21.000 -> 40:23.000] Mark Webber!
[40:24.000 -> 40:25.560] Yeah. That's your clue! Mark Webber. That's a good clue. Mark Webber! Yeah.
[40:25.560 -> 40:26.760] That's your clue.
[40:26.760 -> 40:27.600] Mark Webber.
[40:27.600 -> 40:28.440] That's a good clue.
[40:28.440 -> 40:29.680] Mark Webber.
[40:29.680 -> 40:31.520] Let's build down the chain from Mark.
[40:31.520 -> 40:32.360] Jack Dewan.
[40:32.360 -> 40:33.400] Thank you very much.
[40:33.400 -> 40:35.040] Who's the other kid that I'm thinking of?
[40:35.040 -> 40:37.360] So there's only, there's three others,
[40:37.360 -> 40:38.360] but they're in F3.
[40:38.360 -> 40:40.040] Jack Dewan is in F2.
[40:40.040 -> 40:41.600] And then there's Christian Mansell.
[40:41.600 -> 40:42.440] No idea.
[40:42.440 -> 40:44.280] Hugh Barter and Tommy Smith in F3.
[40:44.280 -> 40:45.440] And they're the Australian drivers.
[40:45.440 -> 40:47.280] Could it be Daniel Ricciardo? But he's not racing.
[40:47.280 -> 40:48.640] There's one other lad.
[40:48.640 -> 40:51.120] There's one other Australian F2 driver.
[40:51.120 -> 40:51.840] Really?
[40:51.840 -> 40:52.720] Hundy.
[40:52.720 -> 40:53.840] Hundy, Hundy, Hundy.
[40:54.880 -> 40:56.880] I'm telling you now, because I've...
[40:57.760 -> 40:59.200] Isn't Liam Lawson Australian?
[40:59.200 -> 41:01.040] I thought Uri Vips might be Australian.
[41:01.600 -> 41:03.200] It doesn't sound like an Australian name.
[41:03.200 -> 41:06.160] No, Liam Lawson's from fucking New Zealand as well.
[41:06.160 -> 41:07.000] Yeah.
[41:07.000 -> 41:07.840] Ah, shit.
[41:07.840 -> 41:10.240] Well, I've really fucked all of that up, ain't I?
[41:10.240 -> 41:11.080] Damn it.
[41:11.080 -> 41:11.900] Final question.
[41:11.900 -> 41:12.740] Okay.
[41:12.740 -> 41:13.760] I won the Melbourne Grand Prix
[41:13.760 -> 41:15.600] the same year I won my only championship.
[41:15.600 -> 41:17.480] Melbourne, I love how you pronounce things.
[41:17.480 -> 41:18.320] What, is it? Melbourne.
[41:18.320 -> 41:19.160] Am I saying it weird?
[41:19.160 -> 41:20.120] It's Melbourne.
[41:20.120 -> 41:21.280] Also, we've got an accent
[41:21.280 -> 41:23.200] because our listeners are all over the world.
[41:23.200 -> 41:25.120] So they probably think we sound really weird.
[41:25.120 -> 41:25.620] Mmm.
[41:25.620 -> 41:30.400] Yeah, I won the Melbourne Grand Prix the same year I won my only championship.
[41:31.760 -> 41:32.480] Who am I?
[41:36.200 -> 41:36.920] Old Joyce?
[41:38.120 -> 41:40.280] Well, he's got one championship, you know that.
[41:40.480 -> 41:40.980] Yeah.
[41:40.980 -> 41:42.000] And I've got a couple of clothes.
[41:42.000 -> 41:42.500] Okay.
[41:42.640 -> 41:44.320] I'm 62 years old.
[41:44.640 -> 41:45.580] Okay.
[41:48.040 -> 41:49.840] I follow Pitstop on Instagram.
[41:49.840 -> 41:53.400] Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[41:53.400 -> 41:54.240] Damon!
[41:54.240 -> 41:55.080] Damon!
[41:55.080 -> 41:56.000] Damon Hill!
[41:57.480 -> 41:59.220] The 1996 world champion,
[41:59.220 -> 42:00.920] that is the Jake Boy's world championship
[42:00.920 -> 42:01.760] because it's the year I was born.
[42:01.760 -> 42:03.480] I actually thought he had two championships.
[42:03.480 -> 42:04.680] No, he's got one.
[42:04.680 -> 42:08.960] Bloody hell. And he also won in Melbourne in 1995 and 1996. Well
[42:08.960 -> 42:12.960] well done Damon. But there we go going into the, you're going to get our Australian predictions
[42:12.960 -> 42:19.440] next week, but going into the um race weekend we know that Ferrari are a strong constructor here.
[42:19.440 -> 42:24.800] 13 wins around this circuit. We do. This could be now the time that the Ferrari could,
[42:24.960 -> 42:29.720] wins around this circuit. We do. This could be now the time that the Ferrari could... imagine they just shut everyone out. They come out the blocks and win next week.
[42:29.720 -> 42:33.440] It feels to me like Australia is this weekend because everyone goes a week
[42:33.440 -> 42:39.680] before. Well it is. It is this weekend. No it's not. We didn't have a race last
[42:39.680 -> 42:43.360] weekend. What day is it today? We just had Saudi. It's Thursday I thought it was
[42:43.360 -> 42:48.100] Monday. Okay yeah I never know what day is if the podcast listeners want to know that.
[42:48.100 -> 42:52.300] This is why I mentioned it before we started.
[42:52.300 -> 42:56.360] There is no race this weekend, but to me it feels like there is because everyone's out
[42:56.360 -> 42:57.700] there a week before.
[42:57.700 -> 42:59.860] Yeah, they're already gone, aren't they?
[42:59.860 -> 43:00.860] Yep.
[43:00.860 -> 43:02.260] Well, realistically, we were meant to be in Australia.
[43:02.260 -> 43:03.260] Yeah.
[43:03.260 -> 43:04.260] And we were meant to be there right now.
[43:04.260 -> 43:05.400] We were. But, there's a couple to be there right now. We were.
[43:05.400 -> 43:06.720] But, not everything goes.
[43:06.720 -> 43:09.240] There's a couple of people that really don't like us.
[43:09.240 -> 43:11.600] Not everything goes the way you want it to go.
[43:11.600 -> 43:13.080] Not everything goes the way I want it to go.
[43:13.080 -> 43:15.800] One day the real story of Pit Stop will be revealed.
[43:15.800 -> 43:17.880] I will say one thing, all right.
[43:17.880 -> 43:21.120] There is absolutely nothing behind Pit Stop.
[43:21.120 -> 43:22.440] There is no corporation.
[43:22.440 -> 43:28.640] There is no fucking, there's no one pulling the strings. We are not puppets. We built this shit on our own
[43:28.720 -> 43:34.240] So for anyone out there who thinks that we might be media run by some massive company, it's just simply not true
[43:34.320 -> 43:38.000] Yeah, i'm glad you said that we need to say this is one of the stumbling blocks. We're currently at
[43:38.080 -> 43:43.120] I hope people listen to this and realize this was made from a dank bedroom
[43:43.680 -> 43:45.100] All right, Two lads.
[43:45.100 -> 43:45.940] It literally was.
[43:45.940 -> 43:46.760] Together.
[43:46.760 -> 43:47.600] It literally was.
[43:47.600 -> 43:48.940] It was made in an empty house
[43:48.940 -> 43:50.620] because we were renovating a house.
[43:50.620 -> 43:53.020] There was four white walls and a mattress on the floor
[43:53.020 -> 43:54.500] and we thought, what can we do?
[43:54.500 -> 43:56.100] And we started Pitstop.
[43:56.100 -> 43:57.980] It literally is two mates living together,
[43:57.980 -> 44:00.340] running everything, filming everything,
[44:00.340 -> 44:02.180] editing everything, coming up with the ideas.
[44:02.180 -> 44:04.740] We don't have editors, do we?
[44:04.740 -> 44:07.560] No, we don't. No one edits our We know what, no one's spent two days
[44:07.560 -> 44:08.960] editing that on Premiere Pro.
[44:08.960 -> 44:10.960] Now we've got to edit Saudi, which we just filmed.
[44:10.960 -> 44:12.640] So we're going to be editing for two days again.
[44:12.640 -> 44:14.080] No one posts for us.
[44:14.080 -> 44:15.000] No one edits for us.
[44:15.000 -> 44:18.400] No one, like, no one is earning money off of what we do.
[44:18.400 -> 44:19.720] And there might be a lot of you listening
[44:19.720 -> 44:20.720] that already know this,
[44:20.720 -> 44:22.800] because we have a lot of you are long-term listeners,
[44:22.800 -> 44:24.640] but we're saying this because we've currently
[44:24.640 -> 44:27.280] hit a stumbling block where not everyone is
[44:27.280 -> 44:32.240] aware that Pitstop isn't a bigger outlet like I think some people think we are
[44:32.240 -> 44:37.880] hosts like we've been hired to host the show yeah like no this is ours like we
[44:37.880 -> 44:40.760] just called it Pitstop because we thought it'd be a cool name that's
[44:40.760 -> 44:44.880] literally it so yeah I'm glad we said that maybe that's reached some of the
[44:44.880 -> 44:45.400] right people.
[44:45.400 -> 44:47.400] I just had to let the bird out of the cage for a minute.
[44:47.400 -> 44:50.800] But other than that, thank you very much for listening to the Pit Stop Podcast.
[44:50.800 -> 44:53.800] We have a new video on YouTube, which I would love it if you could go and watch.
[44:53.800 -> 44:58.300] In fact, those of you listening to the pod, maybe you could go over to the YouTube video and say like,
[44:58.300 -> 45:02.600] I'm from the pod, and leave us a review of things you like on the pod, don't like on the pod.
[45:02.600 -> 45:08.160] Just engage with us in the YouTube comments on our last vid, we'll know you're there from the put then, and subscribe,
[45:08.160 -> 45:10.320] because we need a few more subscribers don't we?
[45:10.320 -> 45:11.320] Yeah, Fab wants 100k!
[45:11.320 -> 45:14.320] We're on the road to 100k guys, we've gone past 50k, we've gone-
[45:14.320 -> 45:18.240] We're actually nowhere near 100k but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
[45:18.240 -> 45:19.840] We're over 50% from zero, my friend.
[45:19.840 -> 45:23.480] 50,000 subscribers is unbelievable, YouTube is hard to grow, I'm buzzing with that!
[45:23.480 -> 45:27.400] If as soon as we get to 60k, that's when I'm like, okay.
[45:27.400 -> 45:28.240] So we're very close.
[45:28.240 -> 45:29.440] We're 58K.
[45:29.440 -> 45:30.760] Well, let's see what the listeners can do, eh?
[45:30.760 -> 45:32.800] As soon as we get to 70K, that's when it starts to,
[45:32.800 -> 45:34.600] ooh, this is exciting.
[45:34.600 -> 45:37.200] If we ever get to 80K, that's the home straight for me.
[45:37.200 -> 45:38.400] I'll be like, yeah, this is it.
