[01:10.000 -> 01:13.000] Three minutes until it lights out and away we go, Svab.
[01:13.000 -> 01:14.000] At the Australian Grand Prix.
[01:14.000 -> 01:16.000] We've been up all night.
[01:16.000 -> 01:17.000] We've been up all night.
[01:17.000 -> 01:22.000] I haven't done it all night since I was a kid, like, at school with my mates.
[01:22.000 -> 01:26.800] I know, we contemplated sleeping, but the F2 was on. I know. Should
[01:26.800 -> 01:30.240] we quickly talk about the F2 before we talk about the F1? Yeah, go on, let's get started.
[01:30.240 -> 01:34.240] Gutted for Oli Berman. I'll say I'm gutted for Oli Berman, it's just not happening for
[01:34.240 -> 01:39.760] him. Oli Berman caught some air. Yeah he did. In that race today. He's quick, he's quick,
[01:39.760 -> 01:48.240] he's just getting slow. He's so unlucky. Owasa won, Porsche second, Leclerc got his first ever podium in Formula 2.
[01:48.240 -> 01:55.360] I saw Charles going congratulate him afterwards. Oh really? Yeah. That's sweet.
[01:55.360 -> 02:01.120] He was there watching him. And now we've got Formula 1. I'm so tired. Yeah this is loose as fuck.
[02:01.120 -> 02:08.760] Qualified yesterday though, where did these Mercedes come from? Russell is second and Hamilton is third.
[02:08.760 -> 02:11.840] In between Verstappen and Alonso mate.
[02:11.840 -> 02:16.200] Yeah, I think we're going to see some serious moves from Lewis today.
[02:16.200 -> 02:17.200] Do you?
[02:17.200 -> 02:18.200] Surprisingly enough, yeah.
[02:18.200 -> 02:20.400] Wait, from third, do you think he could win?
[02:20.400 -> 02:21.560] Could do.
[02:21.560 -> 02:25.280] I think Max looks nervous and I stand by what I said I don't think
[02:25.280 -> 02:29.040] max finishes this race yeah you've been saying that all week I just have a
[02:29.040 -> 02:35.320] feeling like I don't know but piastri's at the back so I predict him to win the
[02:35.320 -> 02:40.560] so check I'm starting in the pit lane uh-huh yeah and because they're doing
[02:40.560 -> 02:43.240] it makes sense if you're back of the grid you might as well use that as a
[02:43.240 -> 02:49.720] time to change anything on your car yeah new batteries new battery a new electric electronic control unit
[02:49.920 -> 02:54.020] Mmm, and bottas as well, but I started the pit lane as well. Wow yeah
[02:54.420 -> 02:56.520] Yeah, cuz that that obviously just pushed you there you go
[02:56.520 -> 02:57.960] They're right at the back of the grid together
[02:57.960 -> 03:03.120] But and we saw how fucking crazy the f2 was so this is gonna be this should be good to a few people have been
[03:03.120 -> 03:05.080] Saying there's very high chance of safety
[03:05.080 -> 03:10.080] Cars there could be rain and that first corner apparently that first corner. They're expecting like
[03:11.080 -> 03:13.220] Something you said it could be rain. Well
[03:13.800 -> 03:19.220] I've got some people on Instagram that are there and they're saying that the weather's really weird on their stories
[03:19.220 -> 03:26.160] Oh, really? So you never know also Jensen Barton drove a single seater through the streets of Melbourne. That's pretty cool.
[03:26.360 -> 03:32.240] Yeah, Jenson's an absolute G. That was on Sky Sports. Can you imagine being Jenson Button and just doing what he does?
[03:32.240 -> 03:36.660] The G's are just giving Rolexes. Just giving them. Just chilling for a living.
[03:36.660 -> 03:41.840] That is, yeah. Talks a little bit of waffle on Sky. I know. Drive some nice cars around.
[03:42.280 -> 03:47.100] He is great, but Lazenby is definitely definitely my favorite Alonzo lining up next to Hamilton
[03:47.100 -> 03:48.480] That's huge
[03:48.480 -> 03:54.240] Huge saying we couldn't get better than fourth, but yeah, it's huge. Where did this Mercedes time come from?
[03:54.720 -> 03:56.720] But qualifying was really weird yesterday
[03:56.860 -> 04:04.440] Qualifying is not normally like that because they all stayed out and they barely pitted mate is blazing Sun and clear skies
[04:04.440 -> 04:05.680] I don't know if there's gonna be any rain.
[04:05.680 -> 04:09.600] You're right. Oh, well, maybe I saw that yesterday. I don't even know what day it is anymore.
[04:09.600 -> 04:13.680] We've had a McDonald's breakfast, guys. We fabs out a little bit of pork.
[04:13.680 -> 04:17.360] Yeah. Did you enjoy your double bacon sausage and egg McMuffin?
[04:17.360 -> 04:20.800] I ate all of it. Yeah. I had all of it. Yeah. Did you enjoy yours?
[04:21.280 -> 04:25.160] Yeah. You had double hash brown. Double hash brown and double tropical orange juice as well. You had two orange juices. Yeah, you had double hash brown
[04:31.760 -> 04:34.360] Double tropical orange juice. Yeah, two orange juices. Yeah, I did make crafty. Yeah, I gotta get ready for this big race I feel like we should be speaking in Australian really
[04:35.160 -> 04:41.800] Completely that sounds down the formation lap Daniel Ricardo has done a really funny video on Instagram. Have you seen that?
[04:42.560 -> 04:45.440] Two guys that like like like this pit crew?
[04:45.440 -> 04:49.680] That cracked me up. Yeah maybe. But it is sad to see Daniel Ricciardo at the
[04:49.680 -> 04:52.800] Australian Grand Prix doing all this media I want to see him in the car. Do
[04:52.800 -> 04:58.460] you know what is sad? What is sad? How little tire grip those F2 cars had
[04:58.460 -> 05:01.820] without the tire blankets today. Well yeah when they come out the pits they
[05:01.820 -> 05:04.600] couldn't even get around turn one. And they're talking about getting rid of
[05:04.600 -> 05:05.100] them in f1
[05:05.900 -> 05:08.740] Where they are on they every year they've been reducing them
[05:08.740 -> 05:13.940] I think I think Lewis Hamilton like apparently trialed a pair out trialed a pair of
[05:14.880 -> 05:18.780] Tires in Barcelona testing what wet?
[05:19.340 -> 05:26.580] Nah, just like tires that a different compound of tire that is meant to be used when they haven't got tire blankets or something
[05:29.320 -> 05:31.320] What was all about
[05:35.560 -> 05:37.980] Fucking shit we need the tire blankets
[05:38.360 -> 05:42.120] Yeah to be fair enough to they were all over the shop the second they come out of the pits
[05:42.120 -> 05:42.560] I don't know
[05:42.560 -> 05:49.120] I don't know how they we have David Croft and Jensen Button on the commentary and we have Ted who is your pit lane reporter
[05:49.120 -> 05:50.800] today in the Albert Park
[05:50.800 -> 05:56.180] Carlos signs in fifth Leclerc's in seventh the Ferraris obviously Leclerc won it last year
[05:56.180 -> 06:00.580] I think majority of the grid starting on mediums. We have Gasly on softs along with
[06:01.080 -> 06:03.980] What did you tell Roof for today? Did you give Roof your laps?
[06:03.980 -> 06:07.940] Yep, I gave Roof actually text me and just she literally just said you up
[06:07.940 -> 06:12.500] I said, yeah text me and said laps make sure you have some coffees to stay up
[06:12.500 -> 06:16.500] I said make sure you watch out for the cars when you're bringing Alonso out the garage
[06:16.500 -> 06:20.900] So keep a close eye on Alonso coming out. Why am I telling this not live?
[06:20.900 -> 06:22.900] Is it they're gonna be listening to this after the race?
[06:23.700 -> 06:25.400] I'm sure I don't know where I...
[06:25.400 -> 06:27.400] What are you even doing?
[06:27.400 -> 06:29.400] Mate, the formation lap is happening.
[06:29.400 -> 06:32.000] It's nearly about to be the Australian Grand Prix.
[06:32.000 -> 06:34.000] Do you remember your prediction?
[06:34.000 -> 06:36.000] Oh, we had a great chat actually.
[06:36.000 -> 06:37.000] You went for Alonso to win.
[06:37.000 -> 06:38.000] I'll talk about that later.
[06:38.000 -> 06:42.000] Alonso to win, second Alonso and third fucking Alonso.
[06:42.000 -> 06:44.000] Is what I predicted.
[06:44.000 -> 06:45.000] All believable ones.
[06:45.000 -> 06:51.760] That's unbelievable. Yeah. And I predicted, I don't even remember, but let's just see
[06:51.760 -> 06:56.160] maybe I've been wrong about this Max Verstappen thing that's been going around
[06:56.160 -> 07:06.160] in my head on the crystal ball. I think you've been right. Well we'll find out. I honestly think you've been right. I'd love a Mercedes to win this. I would love it. If Hamilton Hamilton wins this that would be also they showed some
[07:06.160 -> 07:08.560] clips just now of Hamilton and his debut.
[07:08.560 -> 07:11.760] Nico Rosberg's on the track apparently.
[07:11.760 -> 07:17.760] What? Nico Rosberg on track why the two McLaren's starting last as well?
[07:17.760 -> 07:20.800] Why is Nico Rosberg on track? I don't know I don't think he was.
[07:20.800 -> 07:23.120] Was Nico Rosberg? He was just walking through.
[07:23.120 -> 07:25.000] Why are the McLaren's last? I don't know he was. What do you mean he can't run? He was just walking through. Why are the McLarens last?
[07:25.000 -> 07:27.000] I don't know, I've missed that.
[07:27.000 -> 07:29.000] Look at that mate, they haven't even got any points.
[07:29.000 -> 07:31.000] That is really bad.
[07:31.000 -> 07:34.000] Yeah, no points for Oscar and no points for Berman.
[07:34.000 -> 07:36.000] Do you think Pitstop has been a bad omen?
[07:36.000 -> 07:38.000] I don't know, it's not going very well.
[07:38.000 -> 07:40.000] I'm just looking at the leaderboard right now.
[07:40.000 -> 07:42.000] We've got Oscar Piastra and Oli Berman at the top.
[07:42.000 -> 07:44.000] Neither of them have scored any points so far this season.
[07:44.000 -> 07:48.480] Mikey Brown, ever since he came on, podium, let's see what Alonso does now.
[07:48.480 -> 07:54.240] Well, you know you could argue that things were already going well for Aston Martin before Mikey came on.
[07:54.240 -> 07:56.000] What do you reckon, we're just a terrible home and play?
[07:56.000 -> 08:01.200] Matt Gallagher and Tom Bellingham, I'm sorry to say lads, P1's gonna fucking fall to shit now that you've come on here.
[08:01.200 -> 08:02.720] We were just watching them, live on Twitch.
[08:02.720 -> 08:04.880] And Felipe Drogobic, I wish the best for him.
[08:04.880 -> 08:07.320] Fabs, Fabs, Fabs, it's nearly light side, away we go.
[08:07.320 -> 08:10.040] We'll take you through the first corner and then I'm probably going to fall asleep so
[08:10.040 -> 08:15.560] we'll turn this up a little bit. What are they drinking?
[08:15.560 -> 08:19.360] What do you reckon they drink in the Red Bull Garage? Don't they just drink like branded
[08:19.360 -> 08:22.560] drinks that they're not sponsored by but they wrap them in labels or something?
[08:22.560 -> 08:28.260] I don't know. I swear that's what we were told because they're not allowed to be seen with it oh here we go anyway
[08:28.260 -> 08:32.980] the Australian Grand Prix there we go starting in the pit lane
[08:32.980 -> 08:38.380] so Joe Bob not a bad place to start the pit lane because it's a corner straight away so they can't get that far

[08:50.560 -> 08:52.880] Verstappen, Verstappen trying to block him.

[09:31.920 -> 09:32.920] We've had a sleep.
[09:32.920 -> 09:33.920] Emotionally, it's a fucking new day.

[09:35.920 -> 09:36.920] I feel awake.
[09:36.920 -> 09:37.920] I feel alert.
[09:37.920 -> 09:38.920] We just listened back to the first part of this pod.
[09:38.920 -> 09:39.920] Yeah, we were completely asleep.
[09:39.920 -> 09:40.920] It's pretty bad.

[09:53.760 -> 09:57.640] absolutely no idea where to start. Absolute chaos, I know where I would like
[09:57.640 -> 10:04.160] to start. Seven DNFs, seven bloody DNFs and obviously my max... Wasn't it eight? Seven at the end I'm pretty
[10:04.160 -> 10:05.840] sure. I heard it was eight.
[10:05.840 -> 10:06.840] Oh, well yeah, a lot.
[10:06.840 -> 10:07.840] No, I could be wrong.
[10:07.840 -> 10:09.840] My Max Verstappen prediction was wrong.
[10:09.840 -> 10:10.840] He's- he's won.
[10:10.840 -> 10:13.200] Um, we'll definitely get into that.
[10:13.200 -> 10:17.320] Look, there's so many times we can say that Red Bull is so quick.
[10:17.320 -> 10:18.800] There's something sus, mate.
[10:18.800 -> 10:19.800] There's something sus.
[10:19.800 -> 10:23.120] How is he- how is he like eight seconds ahead of Lewis after three laps?
[10:23.120 -> 10:27.520] And then I think we're getting some questionable red flags to bring the whole field back together
[10:27.520 -> 10:28.200] Oh, yeah
[10:28.200 -> 10:32.840] I do think there's some stuff for us to dibble dabble into today. Not that they did anything
[10:32.840 -> 10:34.840] But I do want to say Lewis Hamilton
[10:35.440 -> 10:39.520] Second love to see him back on the podium great race from him
[10:40.120 -> 10:46.000] Gutted for George Russell after his amazing start your car sets on fire, there's nothing you could do about that.
[10:46.000 -> 10:51.000] A really interesting race, because I couldn't believe they all made it to the end on hards.
[10:51.000 -> 10:57.000] But I'm sure Fab's notebook was... well you were asleep for like 85% of the race.
[10:57.000 -> 10:58.000] There was no Fab's notebook.
[10:58.000 -> 11:00.000] You were asleep for the best bit.
[11:00.000 -> 11:02.000] I'm staring at my phone now clutching at straws trying to find some stuff.
[11:02.000 -> 11:04.000] I fell asleep around about lap 40.
[11:04.000 -> 11:06.120] Now guys, we'd stayed up all night
[11:06.120 -> 11:07.960] because we wanted to watch the F2.
[11:07.960 -> 11:09.280] We missed the sprint.
[11:09.280 -> 11:11.380] We didn't watch the sprint on Saturday.
[11:11.380 -> 11:13.280] So yeah, we wanted to stay up, watch the F2,
[11:13.280 -> 11:14.640] which was another eventful race.
[11:14.640 -> 11:16.920] Oli Bergman again, not great.
[11:16.920 -> 11:18.020] We actually spoke about it
[11:18.020 -> 11:19.280] at the beginning of this one already.
[11:19.280 -> 11:20.960] But I am really enjoying the F2.
[11:20.960 -> 11:24.240] Mate, I'm, question, it's questionable, man.
[11:24.240 -> 11:26.760] I'm potentially enjoying it more than the F1 at times.
[11:26.760 -> 11:27.760] I like the sprint.
[11:27.760 -> 11:28.760] I like the format.
[11:28.760 -> 11:32.080] And obviously there's a lot of speak around the F1 and the current format.
[11:32.080 -> 11:36.240] And I'm sure with this lovely gap in races we have, there's going to be a lot of time
[11:36.240 -> 11:40.860] for us to speak about all of these changes in F1 and stuff like that.
[11:40.860 -> 11:45.000] But first corner of the race, we lost Charles Leclerc today,
[11:45.160 -> 11:46.600] which Matt Gallagher would have been
[11:46.600 -> 11:47.900] completely unhappy about.
[11:47.900 -> 11:49.320] We haven't actually spoke to him yet.
[11:49.320 -> 11:50.160] So.
[11:50.160 -> 11:52.060] I don't know if Matt is probably in the mood for talking,
[11:52.060 -> 11:52.960] to be honest.
[11:52.960 -> 11:55.940] That is a disaster really, for Ferrari.
[11:55.940 -> 11:59.520] Disaster, but you know what, I'm happy for Carlos,
[11:59.520 -> 12:01.420] even though he had a bit of bad luck as well
[12:01.420 -> 12:02.260] with that time penalty,
[12:02.260 -> 12:04.320] which again was just completely ridiculous.
[12:04.320 -> 12:07.500] I'm not really sure why he was given a time penalty for that collision.
[12:07.500 -> 12:11.300] That is one of the things that I really don't like about that because he had an incredible race he
[12:11.300 -> 12:16.620] was so quick and then to get a five second penalty put him all the way
[12:16.620 -> 12:20.880] back because they went from the grid order and obviously on the grid order
[12:20.880 -> 12:28.160] they're gonna be right behind each other so basically that whole restart thing benefited Aston Martin and that but absolutely fucked
[12:28.160 -> 12:35.160] Sainz. Yeah yeah one thing I do like though is Sainz in the last week has
[12:35.160 -> 12:39.280] just seemed different. Different animal. I don't know whether he's just got laid or
[12:39.280 -> 12:46.680] something but he's got this like fire behind his eyes now. There's only so long he will be happy to be a number.
[12:46.680 -> 12:47.520] Yeah, of course.
[12:47.520 -> 12:48.760] Do you not think he just looks awake?
[12:48.760 -> 12:51.560] I don't think he wants to be number two.
[12:51.560 -> 12:53.180] It's quite clear that to Ferrari,
[12:53.180 -> 12:54.520] Leclerc is their number one.
[12:54.520 -> 12:55.360] Yeah.
[12:55.360 -> 12:56.720] And to him, he's probably like, no way,
[12:56.720 -> 12:58.160] I'm not having that.
[12:58.160 -> 12:59.680] But I did see, as you see what I mean,
[12:59.680 -> 13:01.520] I saw an interview where he was talking to someone
[13:01.520 -> 13:03.720] and you could just tell he was really there,
[13:03.720 -> 13:04.880] eyes fully open.
[13:04.880 -> 13:08.720] Yeah. Like he's, yeah yeah so gutting for signs really it's
[13:08.720 -> 13:13.120] just not happening for Ferrari is it? Not really, I wanted to bring this up yeah
[13:13.120 -> 13:17.000] before the race no sorry well yeah it was before the race it was the night
[13:17.000 -> 13:21.960] before the night of quali texting Ruth Baskham again, our Ferrari
[13:21.960 -> 13:27.040] strategist and she said that they're just because it was about nine ten o'clock
[13:27.040 -> 13:31.180] I think at that point and she was still at the track and she said that they're doing simulations
[13:33.020 -> 13:40.320] What yeah, well on Friday it was Saturday night, I think so what they were doing race simulations, yeah, so
[13:41.840 -> 13:48.720] Okay, so you know what that entails no, I've kind of put two and two together, but it was so...
[13:48.720 -> 13:50.240] Can this be public info?
[13:50.240 -> 13:50.720] Yeah.
[13:50.720 -> 13:51.040] Yeah.
[13:51.040 -> 13:52.480] So I think every team does this.
[13:52.480 -> 13:55.280] I think they just have, and I'm probably going to be fucking wrong,
[13:55.280 -> 13:59.920] and then I'm going to get a text from Ruth on Monday afternoon saying Fab's your way off.
[13:59.920 -> 14:06.140] We, so they have a computer and it just runs millions and millions of simulations of that track
[14:06.140 -> 14:07.580] of like every single condition,
[14:07.580 -> 14:09.480] every single thing possible to figure out
[14:09.480 -> 14:12.680] the best tire strap, like tire strap.
[14:12.680 -> 14:13.600] And I'm sitting there thinking,
[14:13.600 -> 14:15.580] so Ruf, what the fuck do you actually,
[14:15.580 -> 14:17.280] what do you get, what do you do then?
[14:17.280 -> 14:18.980] What do you get paid to do?
[14:18.980 -> 14:19.820] If there's a computer.
[14:19.820 -> 14:20.640] Yeah, the simulator does everything
[14:20.640 -> 14:22.600] and then you just pick whichever one comes out
[14:22.600 -> 14:23.440] the most likely.
[14:23.440 -> 14:24.680] And you get paid handsomely,
[14:24.680 -> 14:26.000] like what the fuck are you getting paid to do?
[14:26.000 -> 14:29.000] No, obviously I'm joking, but that is very interesting to know that,
[14:29.000 -> 14:33.000] I guess I kind of already knew that they did that, but I didn't know they did it the night before.
[14:33.000 -> 14:36.000] Yeah, well I mean, maybe that's with changing weather conditions,
[14:36.000 -> 14:38.000] off the information they got from that day.
[14:38.000 -> 14:40.000] Maybe they thought it was gonna rain.
[14:40.000 -> 14:43.000] It was really interesting to see how Russell pitted right at the beginning,
[14:43.000 -> 14:47.600] took hards, and then was going to the end, going to go to the end of the race on hards.
[14:47.600 -> 14:51.600] Obviously that could have worked, but the red flags meant that there was like no proper
[14:51.600 -> 14:56.120] pit stops today, which is a completely different thing for the pit crew because they're normally
[14:56.120 -> 14:57.120] under so much pressure.
[14:57.120 -> 15:00.120] Facts, yeah, when they were red flagged they could just change the tyres.
[15:00.120 -> 15:04.120] Did you see Lewis like checking his front nose cone for any damage and stuff?
[15:04.120 -> 15:06.680] No. Yeah, he was like as soon as you got out the car and the red flag
[15:06.680 -> 15:10.920] He was checking out the front seat. You know, it's that but you didn't see the Alpines take each other out
[15:12.920 -> 15:15.800] The highlights this morning man, I was laying on this sofa
[15:16.440 -> 15:21.600] My my lids were drooping. Yeah, and I I don't know. I thought you were gonna sleep
[15:21.600 -> 15:24.280] I feel sorry for the people in Australia though, because I was saying last night
[15:24.280 -> 15:26.600] But like if that was like that for us once,
[15:26.600 -> 15:28.200] that must be like that for them,
[15:28.200 -> 15:30.720] like every single week.
[15:30.720 -> 15:31.800] All the time, yeah.
[15:31.800 -> 15:34.880] And it was like exciting to do, you know, once.
[15:34.880 -> 15:37.880] Once a year, I remember last year being
[15:37.880 -> 15:39.560] really, really late as well.
[15:39.560 -> 15:41.080] But it was worth staying up for.
[15:41.080 -> 15:41.900] It was, yeah.
[15:41.900 -> 15:42.740] It was an amazing race.
[15:42.740 -> 15:44.440] It's always worth staying up for.
[15:44.440 -> 15:49.360] I always feel, it's like, it's like when you go on a night out and you don't get home till really early and
[15:49.360 -> 15:54.000] it's always a f*****g great idea until you're like you're walking home and the birds are chirping and
[15:54.000 -> 15:59.200] the sun's coming up and you feel like you feel horrible. That's what I felt like after this race.
[15:59.200 -> 16:03.760] I just felt disgusted in myself. I had to go get a shower. I went for a shower at like 4am before
[16:03.760 -> 16:05.720] the race because I was like, this is horrible.
[16:05.720 -> 16:07.320] But after the race, did you not feel happy
[16:07.320 -> 16:09.560] with Mr. Fernando Alonso?
[16:09.560 -> 16:11.400] Not straight away, mate, because the first thing
[16:11.400 -> 16:13.560] that I saw when I turned the TV on was a leaderboard
[16:13.560 -> 16:15.400] saying he was like down in seventh or eighth,
[16:15.400 -> 16:18.000] so I thought, what the fuck happened last night?
[16:18.000 -> 16:20.120] So they were gonna reset the grid,
[16:20.120 -> 16:22.240] but then because they went round the first turn,
[16:22.240 -> 16:24.340] they hadn't all gone out of sector one.
[16:24.340 -> 16:26.480] Yeah, they hadn't reached the end of sector one yet.
[16:26.480 -> 16:31.040] There's been a few things that have come up, so we'll just brush over the main talking points.
[16:31.040 -> 16:34.880] One, the decision to do what they did with the grid. Was that the right thing?
[16:34.880 -> 16:40.480] I mean, it meant that Piastri got his first points in Formula One, so I'm happy about that.
[16:40.480 -> 16:47.280] The tractors actually ended up doing all right. I can't believe they actually both scored points.
[16:47.280 -> 16:48.460] Don't know how that happened.
[16:48.460 -> 16:51.360] The Alpines were looking like seriously fast.
[16:51.360 -> 16:55.120] I'm so sad for Gaz, for Gazza.
[16:55.120 -> 16:55.960] Yeah, he was fourth for a lot of it.
[16:55.960 -> 16:57.760] He did 58 laps.
[16:57.760 -> 16:58.600] Oh no.
[16:58.600 -> 16:59.920] Sweating your bollocks off,
[16:59.920 -> 17:03.240] putting your heart on the line around that track.
[17:03.240 -> 17:05.360] Cause that's not a fun track to drive.
[17:05.360 -> 17:06.640] Well, obviously it must be fun,
[17:06.640 -> 17:08.960] but it's not going to be an easy one to drive.
[17:08.960 -> 17:13.960] Can you imagine going hell for leather for nearly two hours
[17:13.960 -> 17:16.080] and then crashing into your fucking teammate?
[17:16.080 -> 17:19.160] That's where I think a little bit of credit,
[17:19.160 -> 17:21.160] like a lot of, obviously Max is in the quickest car,
[17:21.160 -> 17:23.480] so it's hard to give him loads and loads and loads of credit.
[17:23.480 -> 17:24.720] But like on that last lap,
[17:24.720 -> 17:28.080] he did show that he is fucking great, really. Because when it was
[17:28.080 -> 17:33.600] restarted, he couldn't let anyone get in front of him or anything like that. So it was major for him
[17:33.600 -> 17:37.840] that he had a good start and got around that first corner. And he said after the race, on the first
[17:37.840 -> 17:42.480] corner, when Russell went round him, he just didn't want to fight it, because he knew he had the pace.
[17:43.120 -> 17:49.600] And that's smart. That is smart. Do you you know who Owasa drives for in F2? Dams. Dams.
[17:49.600 -> 17:53.720] They must have a big Red Bull sponsor because their car looks like a Red Bull. Well in F2 there's like six or
[17:53.720 -> 17:57.640] seven Red Bull cars they have like green front wings yellow front wings. I wonder
[17:57.640 -> 18:02.640] how much influence Red Bull has because Owasa pulled away off that fucking
[18:02.640 -> 18:05.400] starting line just as quick as Verstappen does on that F1 car.
[18:05.400 -> 18:09.600] Now I don't want to be superstitious, but I'm trying to link the two together.
[18:09.600 -> 18:12.000] But the F2 cars aren't built the same, are they?
[18:12.000 -> 18:16.200] No, they're all the same, but the aero, the aero department.
[18:16.200 -> 18:17.000] The aero?
[18:17.000 -> 18:20.200] Yeah, you and me need some big words with Callum, don't we?
[18:20.200 -> 18:22.000] Yeah, I reckon we do have a few questions for him.
[18:22.000 -> 18:24.600] We've got a load of questions, not that he would even tell us.
[18:24.600 -> 18:28.500] You noticed that last night, and I'm pretty sure everyone watching this as well did,
[18:28.500 -> 18:32.000] when Hamilton and Verstappen, when literally Verstappen goes past Hamilton,
[18:32.000 -> 18:35.000] and then by the end of the lap, he's like three seconds ahead.
[18:35.000 -> 18:36.000] It's ridiculous.
[18:36.000 -> 18:39.000] That is absolutely chaos.
[18:39.000 -> 18:43.500] I also need to say, Lando Norris, unbelievable race.
[18:43.500 -> 18:45.840] Lando Norris had an unbelievable race.
[18:45.840 -> 18:50.880] Was it good for him? Mate, you were like half asleep but he was holding off Checo for ages.
[18:50.880 -> 18:55.360] Oh yeah I missed that. That red bull was so much quicker than that McLaren. That's when I fell asleep then.
[18:55.360 -> 19:00.480] Whatever lap that was because when I, I remember the last thing seeing was Checo was behind him
[19:00.480 -> 19:04.800] and there was about six seconds and the commentators were saying yeah he probably shouldn't fight it.
[19:04.800 -> 19:06.200] Crofty was saying like Lando probably
[19:06.200 -> 19:08.640] shouldn't fight that it's not his fight yeah I don't it didn't even really look
[19:08.640 -> 19:12.360] like Lando was fighting it as such but after a while Checo did get past but
[19:12.360 -> 19:16.320] yeah it was an interesting race because you really saw the DRS trains you saw
[19:16.320 -> 19:20.960] it in F2, saw it in F1 there was so many trains of cars and like Piastri was in
[19:20.960 -> 19:24.040] one for pretty much the whole race Norris was in one for pretty much the
[19:24.040 -> 19:25.520] whole race and then Norris even with one for pretty much the whole race.
[19:25.520 -> 19:30.720] And then Norris, even with DRS, just couldn't get past the Alpha Tauri.
[19:30.720 -> 19:35.920] And Piastri was the same, like with DRS just couldn't get past Sonoda.
[19:35.920 -> 19:40.320] Do you know what I like about this sport is that, I know obviously we've only just joined
[19:40.320 -> 19:47.540] very very recently, but I mean this sport's been going for so long and I feel like they're just still trying to figure out,
[19:47.540 -> 19:48.460] they're still trying to figure out
[19:48.460 -> 19:50.560] what's the best way to do everything
[19:50.560 -> 19:52.280] in terms of the rules, in terms of the cars,
[19:52.280 -> 19:54.700] in terms of the DRS signs, everything like that,
[19:54.700 -> 19:56.440] which I think is well exciting.
[19:56.440 -> 19:58.240] It definitely is going to have a lot of changes.
[19:58.240 -> 19:59.920] There'll definitely be a lot that will happen.
[19:59.920 -> 20:01.120] I like the feeling of it.
[20:01.120 -> 20:02.640] I mean, even though it's like,
[20:03.580 -> 20:04.760] I want to say it's like chaos,
[20:04.760 -> 20:07.280] it's like chaos in F1 because they're constantly trying to,
[20:07.280 -> 20:08.480] like, they change the car, then they think,
[20:08.480 -> 20:10.760] oh, fuck, like this, it's affected this, this, that,
[20:10.760 -> 20:12.240] and the other, and now we got to change this,
[20:12.240 -> 20:13.200] but it's a constant battle.
[20:13.200 -> 20:14.800] And I think that keeps everyone on their toes.
[20:14.800 -> 20:16.800] And also watching every other team do it.
[20:16.800 -> 20:18.240] So they've got to figure out, like,
[20:18.240 -> 20:19.280] do we try and copy that?
[20:19.280 -> 20:21.140] Do we try and do the same thing?
[20:21.140 -> 20:22.620] Like, do you stick in your lane?
[20:22.620 -> 20:24.900] If you see someone do something really well,
[20:24.900 -> 20:27.520] like, will people now be looking at Mercedes going, well, hang on, they were you stick in your lane if you see someone do something really well, like will people now be looking at Mercedes going well hang on
[20:27.520 -> 20:32.080] they were really quick in Q3 in qualifying, they've done very well in the
[20:32.080 -> 20:37.120] race, Russell might have, could have maybe won if he didn't go out with the fire so
[20:37.120 -> 20:41.080] where does that now bring us for Azerbaijan when it was very clear that
[20:41.080 -> 20:46.000] McLaren and Mercedes are gonna bring big upgrades for Bak. So if they can do that with before upgrades.
[20:46.000 -> 20:48.000] I do want to say just before we go into that,
[20:48.000 -> 20:51.000] I was mad impressed with Alex Albon up until the crash.
[20:51.000 -> 20:53.000] Yeah, he was amazing.
[20:53.000 -> 20:55.000] He was like 4th, 5th flying around.
[20:55.000 -> 20:56.000] Do you know what it is with Alex?
[20:56.000 -> 20:58.000] I think because he's such a lovely guy,
[20:58.000 -> 21:03.000] and he's very like, he's open to like talk into the media and the press and give him the time of day.
[21:03.000 -> 21:05.480] It's actually, it's gained me a lot of respect for him
[21:05.480 -> 21:08.760] because when you have someone who comes across nice
[21:08.760 -> 21:11.460] like that, and then you've got an absolute fucking warthog
[21:11.460 -> 21:14.200] like Max, who's just got all this like negative,
[21:14.200 -> 21:16.320] not a negative energy, but he's got this like
[21:16.320 -> 21:18.360] high octane energy around him.
[21:18.360 -> 21:22.640] It's easy to just think like Max is the man
[21:22.640 -> 21:24.280] and Alex probably just isn't very good.
[21:24.280 -> 21:26.600] But Alex is actually a fucking class driver.
[21:26.600 -> 21:28.460] I've only just, I mean, I'm sure people know that
[21:28.460 -> 21:29.360] who listened to this pod,
[21:29.360 -> 21:31.480] but I've only come to realize it recently.
[21:31.480 -> 21:33.620] Like what you can do in that Williams is impressive.
[21:33.620 -> 21:35.640] And it makes sense to me now why he was at Red Bull
[21:35.640 -> 21:36.480] for a bit.
[21:36.480 -> 21:37.840] Yeah, he was amazing in qualifying as well.
[21:37.840 -> 21:39.000] He was set in quickest sector,
[21:39.000 -> 21:40.280] especially in the middle sector.
[21:40.280 -> 21:41.420] Yeah.
[21:41.420 -> 21:42.680] To get that out of the Williams.
[21:42.680 -> 21:44.200] And it does show you because to be fair,
[21:44.200 -> 21:45.800] Logan is struggling in that Williams
[21:45.800 -> 21:50.560] I mean if anyone did see Logan's little bump at the very end of the race it was
[21:51.440 -> 21:54.640] Quite bad. Yeah, it was quite bad. I didn't see actually
[21:55.760 -> 22:00.380] I do want to say quickly as well a little stat that I ripped off crofty had
[22:01.080 -> 22:08.340] Alonso got a pole in quali. It would have been 177 races since his first races.
[22:08.740 -> 22:09.980] Alonso's, sorry.
[22:09.980 -> 22:12.300] Yeah, it would have been 177 races
[22:12.300 -> 22:14.380] since his last pole in 2012,
[22:14.380 -> 22:17.220] when only Hamilton, Perez, Hulkenberg
[22:17.220 -> 22:19.540] were the only other drivers from the current grid
[22:19.540 -> 22:20.380] at that time.
[22:20.380 -> 22:23.060] Well, big change in the grid then.
[22:23.060 -> 22:24.140] I don't know if that made any sense.
[22:24.140 -> 22:25.720] No, I got absolutely fucking out of it, man.
[22:25.720 -> 22:27.360] Just said, well, I'm pretty good to go on with it.
[22:27.360 -> 22:28.600] Onto the next thing, onto the next thing.
[22:28.600 -> 22:29.440] Yeah, next thing?
[22:29.440 -> 22:31.320] Yeah, let's fucking get out of it.
[22:31.320 -> 22:32.520] No, yeah, what a race.
[22:32.520 -> 22:33.640] It's a shame about Alban.
[22:33.640 -> 22:34.880] That was crazy as well.
[22:34.880 -> 22:36.300] Cause when he crashed in Spam Round
[22:36.300 -> 22:39.520] and that dust come up, Hulkenberg, literally,
[22:39.520 -> 22:41.760] that is when it gets really scary.
[22:41.760 -> 22:43.760] Cause you watch it at home and it's like,
[22:43.760 -> 22:44.720] oh, there's a crash.
[22:44.720 -> 22:47.800] But you got to think, when you saw Hulkenberg's helmet cam he
[22:47.800 -> 22:51.160] can't even literally see that car you could just smash straight into the back
[22:51.160 -> 22:55.540] of that without even knowing it's there and that's that's... mate you saw it in F2
[22:55.540 -> 23:00.960] when that car was on the side and then um is it Hajar's or something like that
[23:00.960 -> 23:04.520] his suspension went and he crashed straight into the wall oh yeah I was
[23:04.520 -> 23:05.560] just thinking oh my god he and he crashed straight into the wall. And I was just thinking, oh my God,
[23:05.560 -> 23:07.560] he could have gone straight into that car.
[23:07.560 -> 23:09.840] Hadja, he's very fucking vocal in the mic, isn't he?
[23:09.840 -> 23:11.480] Yeah, it's a lot of the F2 guys.
[23:11.480 -> 23:12.840] And it's funny, because they're so young.
[23:12.840 -> 23:15.080] Yeah, they all sound about 30, it's crazy.
[23:15.080 -> 23:17.400] They do all sound really young.
[23:17.400 -> 23:21.560] But I wanted to say, I saw two things actually.
[23:21.560 -> 23:23.280] Firstly, going back to what you just said,
[23:23.280 -> 23:26.240] why do you think Max Verstappen has that energy compared to Alban?
[23:27.000 -> 23:30.000] Like, do you reckon it's because he's not English?
[23:30.500 -> 23:32.500] No, I don't think it's because of that.
[23:34.920 -> 23:38.840] I just think like he's just got that warrior's mentality where he doesn't take no shit.
[23:38.840 -> 23:44.260] Do you think we're surrounded by English media? Speaking of Alex Alban, look, there he is on the TV talking to Will Buxton.
[23:44.260 -> 23:46.120] We're surrounded by English media. Speaking of Alex Alba, look, there he is on the TV talking to Will Buxton. We're surrounded by English media,
[23:46.120 -> 23:49.160] which means that we predominantly see coverage
[23:49.160 -> 23:52.120] for a lot about Lewis, a lot about, you know,
[23:52.120 -> 23:54.760] English drivers, because we got English media.
[23:54.760 -> 23:58.240] But in like Netherlands, I bet like everyone,
[23:58.240 -> 24:00.320] and like the guy we met, like the tuk-tuk driver,
[24:00.320 -> 24:02.600] he absolutely loved Max Verstappen.
[24:02.600 -> 24:05.100] Like I reckon they view it completely different to us
[24:05.100 -> 24:06.860] because the media presented in front of them
[24:06.860 -> 24:08.380] is completely different.
[24:08.380 -> 24:10.300] Yeah, maybe, maybe.
[24:10.300 -> 24:12.340] Because I think Max has actually got great energy.
[24:12.340 -> 24:14.180] Like I know exactly what you mean.
[24:14.180 -> 24:16.780] Like Albin is just, he's a lovely guy.
[24:16.780 -> 24:17.860] He's very different.
[24:17.860 -> 24:18.700] He's just more open.
[24:18.700 -> 24:20.060] He glows different.
[24:20.060 -> 24:22.580] Yeah, yeah, more open to just like
[24:22.580 -> 24:24.420] giving the time of day to people.
[24:24.420 -> 24:28.280] But then I also think, what's Max like behind closed doors?
[24:28.280 -> 24:32.280] Because he's clearly whatever he's doing is clearly working.
[24:32.320 -> 24:33.480] Everyone tells us he's sound.
[24:33.480 -> 24:34.400] Yeah, that's what I mean.
[24:34.400 -> 24:35.480] Everyone says he's amazing.
[24:35.480 -> 24:39.960] Everyone that we speak to who knows Max is always like, yeah, Max gets bad press,
[24:39.960 -> 24:42.120] but he's actually just a fucking like one of the nicest guys in the group.
[24:42.120 -> 24:43.040] Yeah, that's what I mean.
[24:43.040 -> 24:43.880] I'm sure he probably is.
[24:43.880 -> 24:45.240] It's crazy how different countries
[24:45.240 -> 24:46.720] and different things show different press.
[24:46.720 -> 24:47.560] And you never really know.
[24:47.560 -> 24:48.960] I mean, obviously Albin is good.
[24:48.960 -> 24:50.880] Watching the interview, we're going to come across now.
[24:50.880 -> 24:53.320] He's going to come across really well.
[24:53.320 -> 24:56.840] It's also like the scenario that you meet people in.
[24:56.840 -> 24:59.400] I think because we go to these F1 weekends
[24:59.400 -> 25:01.880] and we meet people when they're fucking locked in,
[25:01.880 -> 25:02.840] they're zoned in.
[25:02.840 -> 25:03.960] Like all they're thinking about
[25:03.960 -> 25:05.600] is those fucking five red lights going out.
[25:05.600 -> 25:10.160] Like if someone walks past you and doesn't say hello,
[25:10.160 -> 25:12.400] then you shouldn't expect them to
[25:12.400 -> 25:15.120] because they're in that zone, they're ready to race.
[25:15.120 -> 25:17.280] Whereas if you meet someone outside of that,
[25:17.280 -> 25:19.440] like we hadn't really met Lando
[25:19.440 -> 25:21.600] until we went carting with those lads.
[25:21.600 -> 25:26.360] But me and Lando properly cart car in, it's hard to
[25:26.360 -> 25:29.560] believe that he's an F1 driver in that situation because he's just another dude.
[25:29.560 -> 25:33.320] We spoke about this already but I think it depends on the scenario
[25:33.320 -> 25:37.400] that you meet someone in. If you meet someone on a race weekend they
[25:37.400 -> 25:40.240] could be in a completely different mindset.
[25:40.240 -> 25:43.960] Also the couple of times we've met Alex has always been really chill so
[25:43.960 -> 25:45.440] he's always been really nice. So he's always been really nice.
[25:45.440 -> 25:47.600] But no, it's really interesting to hear
[25:47.600 -> 25:50.480] how different people see different perspectives of drivers.
[25:50.480 -> 25:52.160] Crofty went on for pretty much the whole race.
[25:52.160 -> 25:55.120] That would have been Sonoda's third, 11th position,
[25:55.120 -> 25:57.880] 11th finish in a row, but he finished 10th.
[25:57.880 -> 25:59.000] So that was gutting.
[25:59.000 -> 26:00.420] Crofty definitely wanted that.
[26:00.420 -> 26:02.000] No, seven DNFs.
[26:02.000 -> 26:05.160] Gasly DNFed, Ocon DNFed, De Vries DNFed,
[26:05.160 -> 26:07.240] Sargent DNFed, Magnussen DNFed,
[26:07.240 -> 26:09.800] Russell, Albon, and Leclerc.
[26:09.800 -> 26:11.360] That is a hefty bill.
[26:11.360 -> 26:12.200] Oh my God.
[26:12.200 -> 26:14.600] Seven DNFs is a hefty bill.
[26:14.600 -> 26:16.480] Well, like you just said, Baku next, mate,
[26:16.480 -> 26:18.200] and that's another fucking tight track.
[26:18.200 -> 26:20.040] Did you see the Alpine video on their account
[26:20.040 -> 26:21.400] of Gasly and Ocon?
[26:21.400 -> 26:23.120] So you were asleep for this crash.
[26:23.120 -> 26:25.880] So have you actually seen that crash?
[26:25.880 -> 26:27.680] It was like, not really anyone's fault.
[26:27.680 -> 26:29.800] It went down as a racing incident.
[26:29.800 -> 26:30.640] Like you could.
[26:30.640 -> 26:33.080] But, but then they put a video up after it.
[26:33.080 -> 26:34.400] They're both on a private jet home
[26:34.400 -> 26:35.800] and like Gasly and Ocon are sat there
[26:35.800 -> 26:36.680] and they're like, hi guys.
[26:36.680 -> 26:37.960] Yeah, it didn't go our way today.
[26:37.960 -> 26:40.080] And I'm just thinking like,
[26:40.080 -> 26:41.800] he must want to fucking kill him.
[26:41.800 -> 26:44.520] Like you'd be so pissed really,
[26:44.520 -> 26:45.280] but you just can't say it is you.
[26:45.280 -> 26:47.120] So who's fault was it?
[26:47.120 -> 26:49.800] Well, no one's really.
[26:49.800 -> 26:50.640] Race and incident.
[26:50.640 -> 26:53.000] I've heard someone say it was Gasly's fault.
[26:53.000 -> 26:55.040] You saw how tight it was.
[26:55.040 -> 26:58.480] Well, I think Ocon technically goes into the back of Gasly,
[26:58.480 -> 27:00.560] but then you could argue Gasly kind of comes,
[27:00.560 -> 27:01.680] look, no one's fault.
[27:01.680 -> 27:03.560] It was so tight going around that corner.
[27:03.560 -> 27:05.760] And also if you're going to do what they've done,
[27:05.760 -> 27:07.160] give them two laps to race.
[27:07.160 -> 27:09.560] Everyone is going to do what they've done, aren't they?
[27:09.560 -> 27:10.400] You're going to win.
[27:10.400 -> 27:11.560] There's no DRS.
[27:11.560 -> 27:15.280] So you're going to jump up every corner that you can.
[27:15.280 -> 27:17.200] Yeah, it was nice.
[27:17.200 -> 27:20.880] It was nice to watch Oscar get pressed at times
[27:20.880 -> 27:22.660] and him kind of let it happen.
[27:22.660 -> 27:24.380] Like he kind of rolled over like a dog a little bit
[27:24.380 -> 27:25.800] and then kind of let people overtake him
[27:25.800 -> 27:29.200] because of all the chaos that was happening,
[27:29.200 -> 27:31.680] to him it's not worth fucking challenging that stuff
[27:31.680 -> 27:33.880] and putting himself out at home race.
[27:33.880 -> 27:35.840] And it paid off because he stayed in the race
[27:35.840 -> 27:37.000] and he'd done really well.
[27:37.000 -> 27:39.040] He's learning, he's learning,
[27:39.040 -> 27:41.360] but I will say that definitely shows
[27:41.360 -> 27:42.920] that he's the best out of the rookies.
[27:42.920 -> 27:47.840] That race shows by far because that McLaren is slow.
[27:47.840 -> 27:49.320] He did it the other week in Q3.
[27:49.320 -> 27:51.720] He showed that he was quick in a slow car,
[27:51.720 -> 27:53.240] but this week to pick up eighth,
[27:53.240 -> 27:55.440] and I know there was a lot of DNFs,
[27:55.440 -> 27:57.400] but you got to think when Albon was running that quick
[27:57.400 -> 27:59.520] in the Williams and Sargent was further back.
[27:59.520 -> 28:03.240] It shows you the difference between them two.
[28:03.240 -> 28:05.440] And he's not far behind Norris,
[28:05.440 -> 28:07.640] who is quite clearly one of the quickest drivers
[28:07.640 -> 28:10.380] in the grid after watching him hold up Perez.
[28:10.380 -> 28:12.640] Well, I've got the standings here, mate,
[28:12.640 -> 28:13.480] after the Australian Grand Prix.
[28:13.480 -> 28:14.680] The drivers standings.
[28:14.680 -> 28:16.000] I have both.
[28:16.000 -> 28:19.440] So we have Verstappen first with 69 points, hey,
[28:19.440 -> 28:21.160] and then we got Perez second,
[28:21.160 -> 28:22.980] and then we got Alonso third, mate.
[28:22.980 -> 28:23.820] Now Alonso-
[28:23.820 -> 28:24.660] 45 points.
[28:24.660 -> 28:31.420] 45 points, Perez with 54. He's nine points behind Perez now that looks insanely promising
[28:31.420 -> 28:34.500] Mm-hmm, but then when you flip over to the
[28:35.440 -> 28:38.860] To the team standing sorry Aston Martin are in second
[28:38.860 -> 28:42.600] But when you look at the points difference between them and Red Bull they have half
[28:42.920 -> 28:49.600] Is it already massive they have half the amount of points. Yeah I think constructors might might be done.
[28:49.600 -> 28:53.520] I said literally two episodes ago I don't think a Red Bull will win
[28:53.520 -> 28:57.560] every week but to be honest I probably do think a Red Bull will win every week
[28:57.560 -> 29:01.800] now. Charles Leclerc down in tenth with six points. Mate, level with Hulkenberg.
[29:01.800 -> 29:06.480] Level with Hulkenberg. Sorry, Nico Hulkenberg. Who is this guy?
[29:06.480 -> 29:07.600] Absolute machine man.
[29:07.600 -> 29:08.680] Who is this guy?
[29:08.680 -> 29:09.800] He was good in qualifying
[29:09.800 -> 29:12.680] and then he was good in the race.
[29:12.680 -> 29:14.200] I know nothing about him.
[29:14.200 -> 29:15.160] Where did he finish?
[29:15.160 -> 29:16.520] It must be the Haas effect, man.
[29:16.520 -> 29:17.800] Cause when K-Mag came back
[29:17.800 -> 29:18.960] and he put that fucking lap in,
[29:18.960 -> 29:21.200] everyone was like, holy shit, K-Mag's the God.
[29:21.200 -> 29:23.600] The Haas is not a bad car at the moment.
[29:23.600 -> 29:25.200] But yeah, I've got a stat here.
[29:25.200 -> 29:27.680] Last year, three rounds in,
[29:27.680 -> 29:30.100] Charles Leclerc had 71 points
[29:30.100 -> 29:32.440] and he was first in the standings.
[29:32.440 -> 29:34.760] 34 points clear of Verstappen.
[29:34.760 -> 29:36.400] This year, after three rounds,
[29:36.400 -> 29:39.520] he's got six points and is 10th in the standings.
[29:39.520 -> 29:43.580] That is quite a difference for Ferrari to navigate
[29:43.580 -> 29:49.680] when they probably went into this year, maybe even expecting to be better than last year. Where did he
[29:49.680 -> 29:55.200] qualify? Leclerc? Yeah. Leclerc qualified I'm glad you asked me that because I've got
[29:55.200 -> 29:59.440] everything right in front of me my friend. Because the crash was unfortunate so you can't...
[29:59.440 -> 30:02.600] I'd like to update you Charles Leclerc started at the back of the grid. Did he?
[30:02.600 -> 30:05.000] Took a penalty remember? Penalty's right.
[30:05.000 -> 30:06.000] It's been a long day.
[30:06.000 -> 30:07.000] It's been a long day.
[30:07.000 -> 30:09.840] It's been a long 24, it's been a long 48 hours because Friday night was long too.
[30:09.840 -> 30:12.680] Um, look, wasn't the car's fault today.
[30:12.680 -> 30:13.680] No?
[30:13.680 -> 30:17.280] So, there's time, there's time for them to come back, time for Ferrari to come back.
[30:17.280 -> 30:21.960] Charles Leclerc, again, he just got caught up in something unfortunate I'm pretty sure.
[30:21.960 -> 30:22.960] Yeah.
[30:22.960 -> 30:24.320] He was on the outside wasn't he, turned in.
[30:24.320 -> 30:28.580] Right at the beginning with Stroll wasn't it. He hit up the arse. Caught the back left
[30:28.580 -> 30:32.300] of Stroll's car or something like that. It's a shame because Stroll has caused a couple
[30:32.300 -> 30:37.180] crashes in a couple races this year but they haven't really been his fault. They're racing
[30:37.180 -> 30:41.520] incidents. They're racing incidents. What about the red flagging though? Should we talk
[30:41.520 -> 30:45.220] about that? Do you? Because I remember last year
[30:45.220 -> 30:49.080] there was a couple of races where there was like a yellow flag on like lap, three
[30:49.080 -> 30:52.980] laps before the end and they just kept going round. It happened in Saudi, they
[30:52.980 -> 30:57.140] brought a full safety car out in Saudi when, I can't remember who it was
[30:57.140 -> 31:00.280] who crashed, but they drove, I think it was maybe, was it Sargent? I can't remember,
[31:00.280 -> 31:04.360] but they drove their car off the track, like the car wasn't on the track and
[31:04.360 -> 31:06.480] they had a full safety car come out.
[31:06.480 -> 31:09.440] There seems to be a lot of strange stuff
[31:09.440 -> 31:10.560] happening this year.
[31:10.560 -> 31:12.240] Again, like I said before,
[31:12.240 -> 31:13.960] I don't want to be the conspiracy theorist, but.
[31:13.960 -> 31:16.360] Yeah, the only thing that makes me feel better about it
[31:16.360 -> 31:17.720] is we saw the same in F2.
[31:17.720 -> 31:20.200] It took them ages to clear up in F2 as well.
[31:20.200 -> 31:22.000] Like literally took them 16 minutes
[31:22.000 -> 31:23.840] to get a car off the track in F2.
[31:23.840 -> 31:28.700] So Australia, they clearly are just quite slow at getting things off the track.
[31:28.700 -> 31:32.360] And I could see why they red flagged Albon because there was debris everywhere.
[31:32.360 -> 31:33.520] Yeah, I get that.
[31:33.520 -> 31:34.520] I get that.
[31:34.520 -> 31:35.520] That makes sense.
[31:35.520 -> 31:41.360] But yeah, red flagging is interesting and standing starts is interesting as well because
[31:41.360 -> 31:45.840] it just shows like Russell at the beginning was able to jump Verstappen off the grid and then
[31:45.840 -> 31:50.960] you got you say to him all right you got to line up on the grid again now you'd love that if you
[31:50.960 -> 31:56.240] were a driver you're like oh thank god I get another shot. I'm just happy that this year there
[31:56.240 -> 32:02.640] is stuff happening like elsewhere in the grid. Yeah. I just if Max is gonna like run away with
[32:02.640 -> 32:09.480] the red ball then that's boring like last year at least there's gonna be something else happening in the middle of the pack now
[32:09.480 -> 32:14.160] Which is I mean the real fight isn't with Red Bull is it it's between like Mercedes Aston Martin and Ferrari
[32:15.160 -> 32:20.960] Potentially Ferrari pretty incredible though three world champions sharing the podium. That is that's pretty epic
[32:21.240 -> 32:25.440] Like that shows that clearly these people are the best drivers.
[32:25.440 -> 32:26.280] They are.
[32:26.280 -> 32:27.860] That's pretty wild.
[32:27.860 -> 32:30.200] Moving forward, to Baku.
[32:30.200 -> 32:31.020] I know.
[32:31.020 -> 32:31.920] We've got a couple of weeks off.
[32:31.920 -> 32:32.760] How long is it?
[32:32.760 -> 32:33.580] Is it three weeks?
[32:33.580 -> 32:34.420] Three weeks, yeah.
[32:34.420 -> 32:38.800] It's at the end of this month, 28th to the 30th of April.
[32:38.800 -> 32:40.280] I wonder what Aston Martin are gonna bring.
[32:40.280 -> 32:42.020] It's the one with that horrible corner, mate.
[32:42.020 -> 32:43.080] The horrible corner.
[32:43.080 -> 32:43.920] On the castle, yeah.
[32:43.920 -> 32:46.000] That corner, oh my god.
[32:46.000 -> 32:47.000] With the castle either side.
[32:47.000 -> 32:49.000] And I can never get round the corner after either.
[32:49.000 -> 32:50.000] Oh, we've got to do it.
[32:50.000 -> 32:53.000] We've got to record it for the Pit Stop Championship.
[32:53.000 -> 32:55.000] We've got to do Australia first.
[32:55.000 -> 32:58.000] Guys, we hope you've been loving the Pit Stop Championship.
[32:58.000 -> 33:00.000] If you haven't checked it out already, head over to our YouTube.
[33:00.000 -> 33:03.000] We're going to be posting, me and Jack are going to be racing each other
[33:03.000 -> 33:05.160] every race weekend following the F1 calendar.
[33:05.160 -> 33:06.560] Commentated by Matt Gallagher.
[33:06.560 -> 33:07.840] Yep, absolute legend.
[33:07.840 -> 33:09.440] Saudi Arabia was a disaster.
[33:09.440 -> 33:11.200] It would be shy if it wasn't for Matt.
[33:11.200 -> 33:12.440] Yeah, no, it would be shy if it wasn't for Matt.
[33:12.440 -> 33:13.440] Say thanks, Matt.
[33:13.440 -> 33:15.040] Yeah, it needs the commentary.
[33:15.040 -> 33:16.840] But it's a very intense competition.
[33:16.840 -> 33:18.320] Jake and Fab are both in the McLarens.
[33:18.320 -> 33:20.560] We replaced Orlando Linares and Oscar Piastri.
[33:20.560 -> 33:21.920] Jake's ahead with 10 points.
[33:21.920 -> 33:23.400] Fab's on zero points.
[33:23.400 -> 33:24.400] 10 points in two races.
[33:24.400 -> 33:27.800] Yeah, last race, you just have to watch Saudi
[33:27.800 -> 33:30.840] because it was well and truly quite something.
[33:30.840 -> 33:34.040] Alfa Romeo, Joe got some points today.
[33:34.040 -> 33:35.080] That's good for them.
[33:35.080 -> 33:36.060] They weren't happy.
[33:36.060 -> 33:36.900] Were they not?
[33:36.900 -> 33:39.240] Ruth was not happy today.
[33:39.240 -> 33:40.200] Okay.
[33:40.200 -> 33:41.360] Again, I missed it, didn't I?
[33:41.360 -> 33:42.200] But-
[33:42.200 -> 33:43.020] Can you tell me any more?
[33:43.020 -> 33:43.920] I can.
[33:43.920 -> 33:45.820] She texted me saying, fuck.
[33:47.000 -> 33:47.840] So I said-
[33:47.840 -> 33:49.760] I love the way there's like no boundary
[33:49.760 -> 33:51.640] of what's personal here.
[33:51.640 -> 33:52.880] It's just straight on the pod.
[33:52.880 -> 33:54.740] Yeah, at two o'clock she said, fuck.
[33:54.740 -> 33:56.640] And then I just said, I fell asleep at lap 40.
[33:56.640 -> 33:58.500] And then she said, fuck again.
[33:58.500 -> 34:00.560] Half an hour later, she just said, fuck again.
[34:00.560 -> 34:02.400] So I said, well, it's not bad for you guys.
[34:02.400 -> 34:03.240] You got points.
[34:03.240 -> 34:04.340] Are you out on the razz?
[34:04.340 -> 34:07.440] She said, no, it was a bad for you guys. I like you got points. Are you out on the razz? She said, no, it was a, it was a disaster fab.
[34:07.440 -> 34:08.520] We had it all.
[34:08.520 -> 34:10.320] And then the red flag ruined it all.
[34:11.160 -> 34:13.920] Oh, so not really sure what she meant by that.
[34:13.920 -> 34:15.640] I just said, go, go for your sorrows.
[34:15.640 -> 34:17.940] You got robbed by the red flag.
[34:17.940 -> 34:19.000] Yeah.
[34:19.000 -> 34:19.840] Yeah.
[34:19.840 -> 34:21.640] Who knows whether we're going to see more red flags.
[34:21.640 -> 34:22.520] Interesting, isn't it?
[34:22.520 -> 34:25.160] The one race Michael Massey goes back to,
[34:25.160 -> 34:27.240] we get a red flag right at the end,
[34:27.240 -> 34:28.360] and then they start racing.
[34:28.360 -> 34:30.280] They just wanted to go motor racing, didn't they?
[34:30.280 -> 34:31.860] Yeah, but then Michael Massey came back
[34:31.860 -> 34:34.000] and then Mercedes had the best race they've had all season.
[34:34.000 -> 34:35.320] So, there you go.
[34:35.320 -> 34:36.920] I don't really care what anyone says
[34:36.920 -> 34:39.360] because I'll hands down say that was by far
[34:39.360 -> 34:41.320] the best race this season so far.
[34:41.320 -> 34:43.600] And if every race this year is that crazy
[34:43.600 -> 34:48.240] and has stuff going on, this is much better for the and has stuff going on this much better for the sport yeah definitely much better for the sport
[34:48.240 -> 34:51.720] like admittedly every time Max Verstappen's 20 seconds out front they
[34:51.720 -> 34:56.480] can't just red flag it but you know if I was working I probably would yeah
[34:56.480 -> 35:00.440] probably go fuck this let's let's make this a bit more interesting let's make
[35:00.440 -> 35:04.080] that our goal then mate let's make it our goal to one day run the FIA we can
[35:04.080 -> 35:05.280] create our own rules.
[35:07.040 -> 35:12.920] Would it be fair? Yeah. To be fair, I'd have like a rule that if there's a, if someone's 10 seconds out front, it'd always be a red flag.
[35:12.920 -> 35:15.840] I'd bring back, I'd bring back fueling mate.
[35:16.360 -> 35:23.800] Really? I'd bring back fueling, yeah. And I'd also bring back one person per wheel on the pit stops. That would be chaos.
[35:23.920 -> 35:25.160] Yep. I was thinking this in the shower that it's, one person per wheel on the pit stops. That would be chaos. Yeah.
[35:25.160 -> 35:26.920] I was thinking this in the shower that is,
[35:26.920 -> 35:28.880] I'm now giving my shower thoughts
[35:28.880 -> 35:30.600] on the Pit Stop podcast.
[35:30.600 -> 35:33.440] But I think Formula One's quite a strange sport,
[35:33.440 -> 35:35.720] media wise, when you hear everyone's different opinions
[35:35.720 -> 35:38.040] in that, because people are so set on like supporting
[35:38.040 -> 35:41.360] a driver or a team, that like they only really like
[35:41.360 -> 35:45.260] regulations or things that work for that particular.
[35:45.260 -> 35:47.500] Like it's a bit different to like football almost,
[35:47.500 -> 35:49.260] whereas like football you'd kind of want
[35:49.260 -> 35:50.800] an all rounded change.
[35:50.800 -> 35:51.640] Yeah.
[35:51.640 -> 35:53.560] Whereas like certain changes would benefit
[35:53.560 -> 35:54.900] certain teams in F1.
[35:54.900 -> 35:56.940] You just reminded me of a huge talking point by the way.
[35:56.940 -> 35:57.940] Wow.
[35:57.940 -> 36:00.900] They've made the, they made the boxes bigger
[36:00.900 -> 36:02.780] that the car started on the grid.
[36:02.780 -> 36:03.860] Okay.
[36:03.860 -> 36:06.600] So after Fernando Alonso got penalized
[36:06.600 -> 36:10.400] for being slightly out of his box in Saudi Arabia,
[36:10.400 -> 36:13.920] same had happened to Esteban Ocon in Bahrain.
[36:13.920 -> 36:17.240] They both went to whoever the fuck they talked to,
[36:17.240 -> 36:19.920] Stewart, the stewards, and they said-
[36:19.920 -> 36:20.840] Stewart, the stewards.
[36:20.840 -> 36:22.760] Stewart, I don't know who the Stewart guy is
[36:22.760 -> 36:23.680] that they always talk about,
[36:23.680 -> 36:26.320] but Ocon and Alonso went to Stuart and they said,
[36:26.320 -> 36:28.320] look, cut us some fucking slack.
[36:28.320 -> 36:31.760] Like there's been absolutely no advantage
[36:31.760 -> 36:33.960] to me being slightly outside the box.
[36:33.960 -> 36:37.040] And so they said, yeah, okay, we hear you.
[36:37.040 -> 36:39.520] We'll make the boxes bigger.
[36:39.520 -> 36:40.680] And they did it.
[36:40.680 -> 36:42.160] So now every Grand Prix,
[36:42.160 -> 36:44.560] the grid boxes is going to be how much bigger?
[36:44.560 -> 36:45.480] It's not by much.
[36:45.480 -> 36:46.820] I don't know how much bigger it is,
[36:46.820 -> 36:47.840] but it's only, you know.
[36:47.840 -> 36:49.440] Tiny, minuscule amount, but a difference.
[36:49.440 -> 36:50.560] Like a few inches, even so.
[36:50.560 -> 36:51.960] Yeah, no, they needed to do that.
[36:51.960 -> 36:55.080] And also, on the last, when they lined up again,
[36:55.080 -> 36:56.600] someone screen grabbed it,
[36:56.600 -> 36:58.560] and there's a picture where it looks like Max
[36:58.560 -> 36:59.660] is out of his box.
[36:59.660 -> 37:02.280] Now, I've zoomed in, and for all the conspiracists,
[37:02.280 -> 37:03.400] he is in the box.
[37:03.400 -> 37:04.760] He's not out of it.
[37:04.760 -> 37:06.760] But, like, it is interesting, because if that was the box, he's not out of it. But like, it is interesting
[37:06.760 -> 37:08.380] because if that was the beginning of the race,
[37:08.380 -> 37:09.520] maybe they would have gone like,
[37:09.520 -> 37:12.080] whoa, he's proper overhanging the front of the box there.
[37:12.080 -> 37:13.960] Yeah, and they should have penalized him for it,
[37:13.960 -> 37:15.920] just to make things fair.
[37:15.920 -> 37:16.840] Do you know what, I struggled
[37:16.840 -> 37:18.720] because the whole of last year,
[37:18.720 -> 37:21.360] every pod I was like, let's go Max, let's go Red Bull.
[37:21.360 -> 37:23.040] Obviously we just kind of support whoever
[37:23.040 -> 37:27.720] and we're very like, just want a good race. But because of that, that's go Red Bull. Obviously we just kind of support whoever and we're very like just want a good race but because of that that's why I keep saying
[37:27.720 -> 37:31.160] it's a shame that we have the same person out front. Not in any bad blood
[37:31.160 -> 37:34.760] there at all I think it's amazing you know he could bring so many records. I just love
[37:34.760 -> 37:37.460] Red Bull because they've been so nice to us and Red Bull just one of my
[37:37.460 -> 37:41.480] favorite brands anyway so always gonna be a big Red Bull fan but um three races
[37:41.480 -> 37:50.200] three wins mate Callum's gonna be happy. Hehmm he is three races so is Christian win yeah yeah yeah well shame about Checo though
[37:50.200 -> 37:54.160] big shame about Checo because he was having an absolute blinder I want to go
[37:54.160 -> 37:58.680] to Christian's house how are we gonna make that happen then wait did Checo
[37:58.680 -> 38:03.800] finish the race yeah Checo finished fifth Checo finished fifth I reckon we
[38:03.800 -> 38:06.840] could go Checo's race was was marvelous
[38:06.840 -> 38:10.880] and if he'd got round Norris quicker he probably would have got higher. The
[38:10.880 -> 38:14.520] Alonso Hamilton battle was insane as well and I love seeing the respect
[38:14.520 -> 38:19.080] between them two. I think that's really special. But you're right Baku next. Yeah.
[38:19.080 -> 38:22.600] Baku we've got a break in races. What we gonna do for the next couple of weeks?
[38:22.600 -> 38:26.000] Well we're probably gonna put Australia out, the Pit Stop thingy.
[38:26.000 -> 38:27.000] Pit Stop Championship, yeah.
[38:27.000 -> 38:30.000] And then we'll probably also put Baku out before the race weekend.
[38:30.000 -> 38:35.000] So you guys are going to have two, at least two, decent YouTube vids coming out.
[38:35.000 -> 38:39.000] Maybe some guests, because everyone's coming back to London, so who knows who we can pull on the pod.
[38:39.000 -> 38:41.000] Exactly, and we're going to have nothing else to talk about.
[38:41.000 -> 38:43.000] So it'll be good to get a decent guest on.
[38:43.000 -> 38:45.080] I saw a DM from someone saying,
[38:45.080 -> 38:46.720] I'm so excited for Pit Stop's episode
[38:46.720 -> 38:47.720] after the Australian Grand Prix.
[38:47.720 -> 38:49.280] I was so tired I didn't take anything in
[38:49.280 -> 38:51.840] and I'm so tired today that I can't even talk about it.
[38:51.840 -> 38:53.160] I'm so sorry. People have been so excited
[38:53.160 -> 38:54.000] about this, Fab.
[38:54.000 -> 38:54.920] Have they really?
[38:54.920 -> 38:55.760] Yeah.
[38:55.760 -> 38:57.680] Ah, well, that makes me feel bad about the intro now
[38:57.680 -> 38:59.360] because we sound so dead.
[38:59.360 -> 39:00.680] We're really.
[39:00.680 -> 39:01.920] Oh, what, at 5 a.m.?
[39:01.920 -> 39:02.760] Yeah.
[39:02.760 -> 39:03.600] Ah, that's all right.
[39:03.600 -> 39:04.420] That's all right.
[39:04.420 -> 39:05.000] It's been a long day. I'm glad we did it.
[39:05.000 -> 39:13.000] It's been a long day, guys. We know you've all had a long day as well, so we're going to let you chill out for the rest of the evening or the afternoon, or the morning now, depending on what time you're listening.
[39:13.000 -> 39:16.000] Hope you've all been enjoying, hope you've been enjoying...
[39:16.000 -> 39:18.000] So do I.
[39:18.000 -> 39:25.120] Yeah? Hope you've been enjoying season two. You know, it's been a good start to the first few races in Formula One.
[39:25.120 -> 39:27.000] After the break, we have Miami,
[39:27.000 -> 39:29.760] which means Pit Stop is gonna be hitting the road.
[39:29.760 -> 39:31.400] As you guys know that follow the pod,
[39:31.400 -> 39:32.640] we like to keep this personal.
[39:32.640 -> 39:33.800] If we have any new viewers,
[39:33.800 -> 39:36.240] we wanna tell you all about our adventures,
[39:36.240 -> 39:37.520] everything we get up to.
[39:37.520 -> 39:39.720] Let's wait until the fucking flights are booked first.
[39:39.720 -> 39:41.400] Oh yeah, because you know what will happen.
[39:41.400 -> 39:42.240] Yeah, you know I like that.
[39:42.240 -> 39:44.240] Because we should have been in Australia.
[39:44.240 -> 39:45.040] Something horrendous would have happened. We should have been in Australia. Something horrendous would have happened.
[39:45.040 -> 39:46.640] We should have been in Australia.
[39:46.640 -> 39:49.040] And just looking at this now, looking at the paddock,
[39:49.040 -> 39:51.680] that's in Bahrain, that's not Australia.
[39:51.680 -> 39:53.240] Okay, that is the end.
[39:53.240 -> 39:54.080] It's the end of the pod.
[39:54.080 -> 39:55.720] I want to do a night race, mate.
[39:55.720 -> 39:58.160] Well, Singapore, when's that?
[39:58.160 -> 40:00.560] Towards the later end of the year, I think.
[40:00.560 -> 40:03.000] Yeah, so if anyone's got any spare tickets for Singapore,
[40:03.000 -> 40:05.000] private jet, and a couple of hotel rooms
[40:05.000 -> 40:06.000] Let us know
[40:06.000 -> 40:07.000] Just give us a shout
[40:07.000 -> 40:08.000] Yep
[40:08.000 -> 40:09.000] And we'll be there
[40:09.000 -> 40:11.000] Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for listening to the Pit Stop Podcast

[40:15.000 -> 40:18.000] I just reminded myself of Dinner With John, have you seen that guy?
[40:18.000 -> 40:19.000] No
[40:19.000 -> 40:21.000] There's a guy on Instagram, I think his name's like Dinner With John
[40:21.000 -> 40:23.000] And he's this chubby guy and he's just like
[40:23.000 -> 40:28.200] Hello, thank you for coming over for dinner and today I'm making pasta should
[40:28.200 -> 40:32.820] we start cooking and then he's like ASMR for cooking but when he chops like a
[40:32.820 -> 40:36.240] tomato he'll karate chop it with his hand and then you don't use TikTok do you?
[40:36.240 -> 40:40.340] in edit we'll think no I use Instagram reels. Instagram reels and all you watch is them pig
[40:40.340 -> 40:48.000] videos. Pig videos yeah if people could see my homepage on Instagram, it's pigs, food, and women.
[40:48.000 -> 40:55.000] It's only fair we talk about pigs now, because literally this episode a year ago was the episode you announced to the pod that you wanted a pig.
[40:55.000 -> 40:57.000] You said all I want is a pig, so we should have...
[40:57.000 -> 40:59.000] Come on, this is not the surprise episode.
[40:59.000 -> 41:01.000] So, where's the fucking pig, fam?
[41:01.000 -> 41:04.000] Where is the pig?
[41:04.000 -> 41:05.920] Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado,
[41:05.920 -> 41:07.400] I've got a surprise for Fam.
[41:07.400 -> 41:08.720] Oh my God, I would die.
[41:08.720 -> 41:09.920] I'm joking, I haven't got a pig,
[41:09.920 -> 41:12.540] but if everyone rates the podcast five stars,
[41:12.540 -> 41:13.880] I might get Fam a pig.
[41:13.880 -> 41:14.720] Okay.
[41:14.720 -> 41:15.680] Let's maybe move out of the flat first.
[41:15.680 -> 41:16.520] Yeah?
[41:16.520 -> 41:17.360] Let me get some land.
[41:17.360 -> 41:18.280] I think we're gonna be kicked out
[41:18.280 -> 41:20.040] after playing that F1 last night.
[41:20.040 -> 41:20.880] No, we're gonna be kicked out
[41:20.880 -> 41:23.200] if we don't pay our rent on time.
[41:23.200 -> 41:24.160] Cut that bit.
