[01:59.040 -> 02:01.040] It means we're getting up early

[02:36.320 -> 02:38.440] So if it's that early for us in the morning
[02:38.440 -> 02:43.080] I wonder where at how what time is for you guys around the world because it might be even earlier for other people
[02:43.080 -> 02:50.000] Yeah, yeah. Well, I guess the more Fuck me, so it must so so if it's 5am here it's going to be like at night in America.
[02:50.000 -> 02:53.840] See I'd rather that though, someone commented that and I'd rather it is at midnight and then
[02:53.840 -> 02:59.200] I'd be buzzing all day but I'm going to wake up on Sunday probably hanging out my arms after this
[02:59.200 -> 03:03.040] thing on Saturday up at like 5am. I didn't even think about that. Yeah, we're going to be so
[03:03.040 -> 03:06.000] happy. Oh so we have to get home that night.
[03:06.000 -> 03:08.000] Yeah we're gonna have to get home. I'm gonna have to text my little brother and say
[03:08.000 -> 03:10.000] Please come and pick us up.
[03:10.000 -> 03:12.000] I think he's listening now.
[03:12.000 -> 03:14.000] Probably not.
[03:14.000 -> 03:16.000] He's probably not.
[03:16.000 -> 03:18.000] But yeah Fab, I'm taking over.
[03:18.000 -> 03:20.000] Today's episode you said.
[03:20.000 -> 03:22.000] Jake, you are taking the reins today because I know that you've been
[03:22.000 -> 03:24.000] researching and
[03:24.000 -> 03:27.520] got some cool shit. So, hit
[03:27.520 -> 03:31.840] me. Yeah, Fab's been busy boy at work and I've been at home researching every single
[03:31.840 -> 03:36.280] article, finding out as much as I can about the Australian Grand Prix for today's episode.
[03:36.280 -> 03:42.120] I've read a lot of shit today. Like, I know what I'm on about. So let's go in straight
[03:42.120 -> 03:47.360] away. Yeah, for the first time ever. I still don't think you fucking do. For the first time ever on BitStop Podcast,
[03:47.360 -> 03:49.820] you're gonna get some factual information.
[03:49.820 -> 03:51.160] What have you seen about Australia?
[03:51.160 -> 03:53.200] Have you seen that they've got four DRS zones?
[03:53.200 -> 03:54.040] Wow.
[03:54.040 -> 03:54.880] Have you seen that?
[03:54.880 -> 03:55.720] I have not seen that.
[03:55.720 -> 03:57.480] Madness, madness.
[03:57.480 -> 04:00.160] The FIA introduced that there's gonna be four DRS zones
[04:00.160 -> 04:01.860] in Australia, which obviously means
[04:01.860 -> 04:04.680] you're gonna get loads more right behind,
[04:04.680 -> 04:05.920] racing, cars flying,
[04:05.920 -> 04:09.760] cars... That's a lot. And that's gone into my predictions a lot which we will do at the end
[04:09.760 -> 04:13.680] of the episode. We've got a really fun segment coming halfway through this episode where you
[04:13.680 -> 04:18.560] guys send in your questions and we're actually gonna play the voice notes out loud so you're
[04:18.560 -> 04:24.320] gonna hear us respond to them. We are. But yeah, four DRS zones. So as we had it in like Jeddah
[04:24.320 -> 04:26.240] in Saudi Arabia, you have like three DRS zones and So as we had it in like Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, you
[04:26.240 -> 04:30.080] have like three DRS zones and you saw that a clever staff and battle, they could just
[04:30.080 -> 04:35.240] overtake each other so easily, like in the DRS zones. So imagine for a whole race with
[04:35.240 -> 04:41.160] four DRS zones, and you got a whole field that are constantly able to take over. I think
[04:41.160 -> 04:45.420] it's gonna be an amazing race. I know Australia. Do you? Yeah, I do.
[04:45.420 -> 04:46.260] What do you know about it?
[04:46.260 -> 04:47.100] It's tight.
[04:47.100 -> 04:47.920] Is it?
[04:47.920 -> 04:48.760] Yeah.
[04:48.760 -> 04:49.600] Are you good at it on the game?
[04:49.600 -> 04:50.440] Yeah, that goes without saying,
[04:50.440 -> 04:52.280] but it's gonna be an interesting race
[04:52.280 -> 04:53.600] because cars are a bit bigger now,
[04:53.600 -> 04:54.440] do you know what I mean?
[04:54.440 -> 04:55.260] Bigger wheels.
[04:55.260 -> 04:56.100] I like that.
[04:56.100 -> 04:57.240] It's gonna be tight, tighty-whitey.
[04:57.240 -> 04:59.160] Well, they haven't raced there since 2019.
[04:59.160 -> 05:01.160] Last time they raced there, who won, Fab?
[05:01.160 -> 05:02.080] You know, I've told you.
[05:02.080 -> 05:02.920] Valtteri Bottas.
[05:02.920 -> 05:04.720] Valtteri Bottas, he got the fastest lap.
[05:04.720 -> 05:08.960] He started second. Hamilton was on pole, pole Hamilton came second Verstappen came
[05:08.960 -> 05:14.400] third. But I still think it could be a big weekend. Would it Mazepin come? You don't
[05:14.400 -> 05:19.200] need to check. No yeah. I think it could be a big weekend for Bottas. I think if they
[05:19.200 -> 05:23.800] could get a good result it could be here. I can't quite get him into my top three for
[05:23.800 -> 05:26.600] predictions. Have you got your predictions ready for the end the episode oh yeah
[05:26.600 -> 05:30.120] it's all up here I can't wait so that's who you're gonna throw in that top three
[05:30.120 -> 05:33.480] today we had Alonzo last week well not last week the week before that and it
[05:33.480 -> 05:37.000] was actually a good prediction of course it was so I can't wait to see who fire
[05:37.000 -> 05:40.480] in is your third person you feel like yours are strong yeah I think I'm gonna
[05:40.480 -> 05:43.480] get some serious you're gonna get some points yeah I've done research for this
[05:43.480 -> 05:45.000] week interesting so yeah they were there in 2019 they weren't there for 2021 or I think I'm going to get some serious points. You think you're going to get some points? Yeah. I've done research for this week. Interesting.
[05:45.000 -> 05:46.800] So yeah, they were there in 2019.
[05:46.800 -> 05:51.960] They weren't there for 2021 or 2020, I'm assuming due to COVID.
[05:51.960 -> 05:54.800] But in 2018 and 2017, Vettel won.
[05:54.800 -> 05:56.800] And Vettel is back this weekend.
[05:56.800 -> 05:57.800] He is.
[05:57.800 -> 05:58.800] Which is what we want to see.
[05:58.800 -> 06:01.360] Sad to say goodbye to Hulkenberg, I guess.
[06:01.360 -> 06:05.360] But it's nice to have Vettel back because he is everyone's favorite
[06:05.360 -> 06:10.800] I feel like out of the whole grid he must be the favorite for everyone. Everyone loves him
[06:10.800 -> 06:16.760] Didn't they? Not like maybe not in terms of a driver as well, obviously absolute legacy, but he just who he is
[06:16.760 -> 06:22.420] I'd agree like he's like a worldwide icon for the sport and everyone loves him because he's been at so many top teams as well
[06:22.420 -> 06:24.420] Like when you've been at Red Bull you've been at Ferrari
[06:26.320 -> 06:29.500] You've been at other teams as well as we found out there's five of them but when you've been at these big
[06:29.500 -> 06:33.800] teams and you've won world championships and you're loved by that many people you
[06:33.800 -> 06:37.940] want to see him back in the car but it is gutting that Aston Martin is looking
[06:37.940 -> 06:42.800] slow you want Vettel to be in a great car he won Australia in 2018-2017 but
[06:42.800 -> 06:46.500] he's probably not gonna be able to compete. Hey, maybe they'll maybe they've made changes
[06:46.500 -> 06:49.080] Do you reckon Mercedes have so maybe?
[06:51.080 -> 06:54.140] Mercedes changes I've had a little look into that
[06:54.140 -> 06:58.780] I've had a little look so how little well an article that I've seen on Sky Sports reads
[06:59.240 -> 07:07.920] Mercedes are set to make their first major hardware change to their car this weekend in Melbourne.
[07:13.520 -> 07:19.040] We expect to see an all new rear wing and at very least, possibly some accompanying changes to the floor. So when I did a bit more research, basically, they've been trying to change the
[07:19.040 -> 07:24.000] rear wing last week for the last race, it wasn't quite ready, and it's all to, you know, combat
[07:24.000 -> 07:29.360] the Porpoisean as we know, Mercedes are struggling with that um but apparently Mercedes are going
[07:29.360 -> 07:34.880] to come with a really strong car to Australia which is very interesting big talk from Toto
[07:34.880 -> 07:40.720] very big talk from Toto Toto did actually say though himself that basically Mercedes
[07:40.720 -> 07:45.600] is still miles behind Ferrari and Red Bull which is very very interesting as well. I know he's never gonna say
[07:45.600 -> 07:48.100] Oh look, we're gonna be better than Ferrari or Mercedes this week
[07:48.100 -> 07:51.400] But maybe he does still think there's a lot of work to be done
[07:51.400 -> 07:57.040] If there's anyone that can pull off a feat like that, it's that handsome Austrian son of a bitch
[07:58.440 -> 08:03.040] He's gonna pull something out the bag. He's like what is your agent? Maybe a fucking schnitzel?
[08:04.160 -> 08:08.200] bag he's like what is your agent maybe a fucking schnitzel what do you say pumpernickel it's got the pumpernickel we have loaded every single car with a
[08:08.200 -> 08:12.520] loaf of pumpernickel to combat the porpoise that's what I think they've
[08:12.520 -> 08:15.920] done so if Mercedes have changed their car we could see Mercedes up there on
[08:15.920 -> 08:19.840] the grid or Australia hopefully Hamilton doesn't go out in the first qualifying
[08:19.840 -> 08:24.640] round again that was a massive shock for everyone do you think he's gonna qualify
[08:24.640 -> 08:30.040] better this week I hope so he deserves it and if there's a lot of talk of him
[08:30.040 -> 08:35.000] maybe retiring after this year. Hamilton? Who knows do you think he should?
[08:35.000 -> 08:39.200] Depends how this year goes. Do you think all that relies on whether he wins the world title do you
[08:39.200 -> 08:43.560] think if he doesn't win the world title he stays and goes for it again or do you
[08:43.560 -> 08:47.820] think he just goes 7-7 level with Schumacher is still incredible?
[08:47.820 -> 08:52.220] He's a very smart guy and he is like a businessman in a lot of ways so he's got
[08:52.220 -> 08:56.020] a lot going for him outside of Formula One obviously Formula One is his main
[08:56.020 -> 09:01.660] passion, gig, love, whatever but I mean if the guy retires it's not the end of Lewis
[09:01.660 -> 09:10.400] Hamilton I think we could see some amazing shit from him outside of Formula One. So I think he's like he's created like this unbelievable legacy,
[09:10.400 -> 09:17.280] he's done amazing things for Mercedes and like I think most people, him included, should be happy
[09:17.280 -> 09:21.520] with what he's done if this year doesn't go to plan. Like you can still look back and think
[09:21.520 -> 09:30.840] fuck me yeah he was still like the one of the best drivers of all time. Take a decision right now. If I said to you, you had to put every penny in your bank account
[09:30.840 -> 09:36.960] on either George Russell or Lewis Hamilton to get more points for Mercedes this season, who do you think's gonna get more?
[09:37.720 -> 09:43.640] Because Russell started well. Hamilton. Do you think Hamilton's gonna be able to combat the issues and come back strong?
[09:43.640 -> 09:48.280] Yes, I think they've, Mercedes have proven that in the past when they've bounced back from when shit's gone wrong
[09:48.280 -> 09:54.920] So I've been really impressed with Russell though fifth in Saudi fourth in Bahrain and Hamilton third in Bahrain tenth in Saudi
[09:55.360 -> 09:59.460] Hamilton did well in Saudi and obviously when that pit lane close happened that
[10:00.120 -> 10:04.340] Pushed him way back. He would have finished a lot higher, but Russell started fifth and fourth
[10:04.440 -> 10:07.160] Do you think Russell isn't far away from a podium?
[10:07.160 -> 10:10.380] If he's able to come fourth in a car which has issues,
[10:10.380 -> 10:13.060] if you give Russell a car that doesn't have issues,
[10:13.060 -> 10:15.420] maybe he will be right up there.
[10:15.420 -> 10:16.260] Who knows?
[10:16.260 -> 10:18.220] I mean, the cars are different.
[10:18.220 -> 10:19.520] They have two different cars,
[10:19.520 -> 10:20.740] essentially the way they're set up.
[10:20.740 -> 10:22.700] So do you reckon they have like different teams?
[10:22.700 -> 10:25.280] Do you reckon like Hamilton has, well obviously it's Mercedes, but do you reckon they have like different teams? Do you reckon like Hamilton has,
[10:25.280 -> 10:26.440] well obviously it's Mercedes,
[10:26.440 -> 10:28.120] but do you reckon they have their own engineers
[10:28.120 -> 10:28.960] within their team?
[10:28.960 -> 10:30.000] Yeah.
[10:30.000 -> 10:32.640] And then they work the car for them?
[10:32.640 -> 10:33.760] Yeah, they tailor it to him.
[10:33.760 -> 10:35.320] It's like getting a suit made.
[10:35.320 -> 10:36.160] Do you know what I mean?
[10:36.160 -> 10:37.880] My suit, even though we're gonna buy the same suit,
[10:37.880 -> 10:40.240] it's gonna be different for different people.
[10:40.240 -> 10:41.080] Do you know what I'm saying?
[10:41.080 -> 10:42.120] So yeah, no, definitely.
[10:42.120 -> 10:44.760] I think, well, I don't know, what was the question?
[10:44.760 -> 10:45.920] I was just saying, who. I think um, well, I don't know. What was the question?
[10:48.880 -> 10:49.440] I was just saying who do you think makes the changes if hamilton and uh,
[10:52.640 -> 10:56.400] Russell have just got separate cars. Do they have the same engineer as well? You know when someone rings in rings in dials them when they're in the car
[10:56.720 -> 11:02.320] And just to make one thing clear we've now figured out that that isn't actually wolf or horner for ages
[11:02.320 -> 11:06.920] I thought that was horner calling him calling the staff. It's not it's the race engineer
[11:07.000 -> 11:12.360] When like Red Bull have their own engineers not Horner it mid race. It won't be Horner speaking to the driver
[11:12.360 -> 11:16.640] I always thought he does speak to him. Does he yeah, someone told me they don't yeah
[11:17.880 -> 11:22.580] Apparently the Red Bull guy sounds well like corner. So you never know who it is. I don't know
[11:22.580 -> 11:27.940] we have to but that's why I would say if there's important conversations to be had
[11:27.940 -> 11:29.820] in terms of the performance of the car,
[11:29.820 -> 11:31.840] and if they need to change anything mid race,
[11:31.840 -> 11:32.840] Horner's not gonna do that
[11:32.840 -> 11:34.560] because he's not a fucking engineer.
[11:34.560 -> 11:37.040] But yeah, I think he still talks to him during the race.
[11:37.040 -> 11:38.800] Oh, well someone sent us a DM on Instagram.
[11:38.800 -> 11:40.080] Whenever we say something wrong,
[11:40.080 -> 11:41.920] people DM us and tell us what's right.
[11:41.920 -> 11:42.760] And it said that.
[11:42.760 -> 11:45.040] It said that Horner and Toto don't do radio.
[11:45.040 -> 11:47.680] Who said this? Give me the name. Give me their address.
[11:47.680 -> 11:49.920] We'll have to expose them. Give me their credit card number.
[11:51.440 -> 11:54.880] At this point in the podcast I'd very quickly like to say if you haven't already click the
[11:54.880 -> 12:00.720] follow button and give it a five star review we got 1100 ratings now which is absolutely crazy.
[12:00.720 -> 12:03.040] An extra 100 since last time. Yeah madness.
[12:03.040 -> 12:07.320] What the flipping hell. I don't know where you guys are coming from but I know you're all over the world and it's
[12:07.320 -> 12:10.020] absolutely amazing so thank you very much.
[12:10.020 -> 12:11.400] Hit the five star button.
[12:11.400 -> 12:13.760] Yeah, do that.
[12:13.760 -> 12:16.240] Don't hit it four, hit the five.
[12:16.240 -> 12:17.240] Hit the five baby!
[12:17.240 -> 12:21.040] Five is just better than four in all aspects of life.
[12:21.040 -> 12:23.360] Bangers and mash, how many sausages do you want?
[12:23.360 -> 12:25.320] I'll have five please. You're just off on a little tangent here. Do you want? I'll have five, please
[12:28.320 -> 12:28.880] You're just off on a little tangent. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I know
[12:33.440 -> 12:34.560] Makes sense. Oh, yeah, man. Well, yeah. Well, how many dollops of mayonnaise you want for?
[12:36.560 -> 12:36.840] interesting
[12:43.560 -> 12:44.160] Benoto has spoken out as well saying I believe Red Bull is the strongest and the favorite read out how he actually said it I
[12:45.800 -> 12:46.640] Believe Red Bull is this actually said it. I believe Red Bull is the strongest. No, in Italian.
[12:46.640 -> 12:47.960] What is this?
[12:47.960 -> 12:49.280] I believe.
[12:49.280 -> 12:51.120] I believe I can fly.
[12:51.120 -> 12:51.960] What is Italian?
[12:51.960 -> 12:53.760] Do an Italian accent so I can copy it and try it.
[12:53.760 -> 12:55.320] Oh, I don't know.
[12:55.320 -> 12:56.600] Mamma mia.
[12:56.600 -> 12:58.000] I believe.
[12:58.000 -> 12:59.880] Okay, one sec.
[12:59.880 -> 13:03.440] I believe Red Bull is the favorite and the strongest.
[13:04.400 -> 13:06.240] I'm trying to think of like cars, cars too,
[13:06.240 -> 13:07.280] because there's that Italian car.
[13:07.280 -> 13:08.800] But either way, yeah, Benotto has said that
[13:08.800 -> 13:11.120] about the Red Bull and Damon Hill's followed it up
[13:11.120 -> 13:13.360] by saying that he thinks Max Verstappen
[13:13.360 -> 13:15.760] is by far the strongest this season.
[13:15.760 -> 13:18.240] And the fact that he's got a championship under his belt
[13:18.240 -> 13:21.640] means that he'll be fighting just a lot more confident
[13:21.640 -> 13:22.480] than Leclerc, basically.
[13:22.480 -> 13:24.360] Damon Hill's been paid off by Red Bull.
[13:24.360 -> 13:25.820] Do you reckon? To say that, yeah. It's going to be amazing. We could see another Leclerc basically. Damon Hill's been paid off by Red Bull. Do you reckon? To say that, yeah.
[13:25.820 -> 13:29.280] It's gonna be amazing, we could see another Leclerc ever-stappin' battle.
[13:29.280 -> 13:31.920] We could see something completely out of the blue.
[13:31.920 -> 13:36.160] We wanna know what your predictions are, if you're listening to this right now, who do you think's gonna win?
[13:36.160 -> 13:40.800] I know you can't tell us, but you can message us at Pitstop on Instagram.
[13:40.800 -> 13:41.840] Let us know.
[13:41.840 -> 13:43.360] You could tell us through a voice note.
[13:43.360 -> 13:48.160] That would be fun and interactive. That would be very fun and interactive. I just want to say
[13:48.160 -> 13:53.120] quickly, it's a fucking amazing when everyone who's listening to our pod, like when you're
[13:53.120 -> 13:56.040] traveling around and that you always send us little you put it on your story and we
[13:56.040 -> 13:59.520] get tagged in it. Oh yeah, we share them all in the story. For the past week, I've just
[13:59.520 -> 14:02.160] seen loads of people just out and about doing their thing. Yeah, I just shared one, someone's
[14:02.160 -> 14:06.200] on a plane. Yeah, saw that, amazing. Yeah, if you're ever out, listen to the pod,
[14:06.200 -> 14:08.280] just take a photo where you are
[14:08.280 -> 14:11.780] and put the Pit Stop logo or sign on the screen.
[14:11.780 -> 14:13.440] Just say, listen to the Pit Stop podcast,
[14:13.440 -> 14:14.400] tag us at Pit Stop.
[14:14.400 -> 14:15.440] We share them all in our story
[14:15.440 -> 14:17.520] because we love seeing where you listen to them.
[14:17.520 -> 14:19.200] I don't leave the house because I work from home.
[14:19.200 -> 14:21.200] So it's nice for me to see people
[14:21.200 -> 14:23.200] living their lives to the full.
[14:23.200 -> 14:24.040] It is nice.
[14:24.040 -> 14:26.040] You should get out once in a while, the air smells good.
[14:26.040 -> 14:29.720] Well I tell you what, it's Thursday right now, if we jump on a flight now we could be there for qualifying.
[14:29.720 -> 14:30.720] Australia?
[14:30.720 -> 14:31.720] Mmm.
[14:31.720 -> 14:32.720] Don't look at me like that.
[14:34.360 -> 14:36.200] I'll go grab my passport, I'm not even joking.
[14:38.120 -> 14:46.240] GO GO GO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I feel like there's um, there's gonna be a lot of pressure on Ricardo this weekend
[14:46.240 -> 14:51.920] I was just thinking that and I was looking at where he's finished in Australia where his best finish was
[14:53.640 -> 14:59.680] His best finish in Australia is fourth and they were both in the Red Bull 2016 and 2018
[14:59.960 -> 15:04.920] Do you think if McLaren have done something he could get top 10? I mean, he hasn't got any points yet
[15:04.920 -> 15:09.020] I want him to do something. There's gonna be all the Ricciardo fans. They're cheering him on
[15:09.020 -> 15:14.900] I know they say they can't hear the crowd from from the car, but you I think you just feel it the whole weekend
[15:14.900 -> 15:19.820] he'll feel the hype and there's two options now he's either gonna take their energy and
[15:20.700 -> 15:29.760] Blast it out on the track or he's gonna crumble from the pressure. He's like an icon over there. I've seen loads of, um, like shopping malls and it's just loads of pictures of Riccardo.
[15:29.760 -> 15:31.360] Like, they fucking love him.
[15:31.360 -> 15:32.640] Yeah, he's a G.
[15:32.640 -> 15:37.840] It's just gotten that McLaren isn't up to scratch, because I want to do a Shoei for one, and also...
[15:38.480 -> 15:43.440] Well, actually, no. What's really funny about Riccardo is, you know, ever since we saw how short he was,
[15:43.440 -> 15:47.360] because we thought he was tall. From Netflix, he gives like massive guy energy,
[15:47.360 -> 15:48.200] doesn't he?
[15:48.200 -> 15:49.020] Like walking around,
[15:49.020 -> 15:51.040] like you kind of just feel like he's this big dog.
[15:51.040 -> 15:52.360] Then I saw a photo of him yesterday
[15:52.360 -> 15:55.360] with like some like Australian football team or something
[15:55.360 -> 15:56.400] and he's standing with them
[15:56.400 -> 15:59.480] and he's absolutely fucking tiny.
[15:59.480 -> 16:00.320] Yeah.
[16:00.320 -> 16:01.640] He's just brought out his own wine.
[16:01.640 -> 16:02.480] That's it.
[16:02.480 -> 16:03.300] Did you see that?
[16:03.300 -> 16:04.140] No, but we should get it.
[16:04.140 -> 16:06.320] It's called like boozed up for a pod on it.
[16:06.320 -> 16:09.680] It's called like, I think it's called 3RC, three, no.
[16:09.680 -> 16:10.520] I don't know.
[16:10.520 -> 16:13.560] 3DR, three, Daniel, maybe I'm wrong.
[16:13.560 -> 16:15.120] It's got the letter three in it.
[16:15.120 -> 16:15.960] Let's order it now.
[16:15.960 -> 16:16.780] Number three.
[16:16.780 -> 16:18.840] That would be so cool if we drink it on the pod.
[16:18.840 -> 16:19.680] That would be cool.
[16:19.680 -> 16:22.800] And he's brought out his own like decanter
[16:22.800 -> 16:24.760] in the shape of his racing boot.
[16:24.760 -> 16:29.280] Oh. Like, and it's like for like like, it's to scale of his foot.
[16:29.280 -> 16:31.000] His foot's probably what?
[16:31.000 -> 16:31.840] Weak and shit.
[16:31.840 -> 16:34.000] What size feet do you reckon Daniel Ricciardo's got?
[16:34.000 -> 16:36.400] Like a fucking child's four.
[16:36.400 -> 16:37.240] Junior.
[16:37.240 -> 16:38.520] Nah, this is nasty now.
[16:38.520 -> 16:41.520] Nah, he's probably got at least size seven.
[16:42.360 -> 16:43.200] Probably.
[16:43.200 -> 16:44.040] Yeah, maybe.
[16:44.040 -> 16:44.880] Yeah.
[16:44.880 -> 16:47.960] Maybe a bit bigger. He's telling any big nose big feet
[16:49.280 -> 16:51.280] He's Australian
[16:51.320 -> 16:54.080] Australian Italian is he yes. Oh
[16:54.960 -> 16:56.960] You told me this
[16:56.960 -> 17:01.240] Probably did say that and I probably did forget he looks Italian anyway, you can tell no
[17:01.240 -> 17:05.840] We would love big things for Daniel Ricciardo, you'll have to let us know your predictions,
[17:05.840 -> 17:08.840] we will let you know our predictions at the end of the episode.
[17:08.840 -> 17:13.360] But let's get into the questions you guys sent us on Instagram.
[17:13.360 -> 17:17.240] If you want to be involved in the next episode of this, our Instagram is at pitstop, give
[17:17.240 -> 17:21.840] us a follow, send us voice notes like we're about to play out and we will do this again.
[17:21.840 -> 17:25.320] So without further ado, let's jump into the voice notes. Roll the music!
[17:25.320 -> 17:34.060] 🎵Dun Dun Dun Dun🎵
[17:34.060 -> 17:38.240] Just a quick warning, we have no idea what any of these say.
[17:38.240 -> 17:40.240] I haven't opened any of them yet.
[17:40.240 -> 17:43.600] So if you see any sudden cuts, sudden bleep outs,
[17:43.600 -> 17:46.140] someone's probably told us that we suck or something
[17:46.140 -> 17:52.580] I don't know. We don't know what these say people have asked us questions or whatever, but we're gonna play them and
[17:53.120 -> 17:59.040] We're gonna answer them together. The first voice note is from Jude Simpkins. Let's go Jude
[18:04.000 -> 18:05.000] Five F1 circuits which are not currently on the calendar. Oh.
[18:05.000 -> 18:09.320] Five F1 circuits that are not currently on the calendar.
[18:09.320 -> 18:10.320] Come on, Fab.
[18:10.320 -> 18:11.320] Qatar.
[18:11.320 -> 18:12.320] Yep.
[18:12.320 -> 18:13.320] Because of the World Cup.
[18:13.320 -> 18:14.320] Because of the World Cup.
[18:14.320 -> 18:15.320] Aim, aim, Russia.
[18:15.320 -> 18:16.320] Sochi.
[18:16.320 -> 18:17.320] Yep.
[18:17.320 -> 18:18.320] Um.
[18:18.320 -> 18:19.320] Come on, think.
[18:19.320 -> 18:20.320] Think.
[18:20.320 -> 18:23.800] Can we say Brands Hatch?
[18:23.800 -> 18:26.280] It's technically an F1 circuit,
[18:26.280 -> 18:27.400] they've raced there before.
[18:27.400 -> 18:29.120] I don't know if it's still F1 grade or not.
[18:29.120 -> 18:31.280] I don't know if the FIA have still approved it or not,
[18:31.280 -> 18:33.120] but fuck it, I'm taking that
[18:33.120 -> 18:33.960] because I can't think of any more.
[18:33.960 -> 18:34.800] And that Germany one,
[18:34.800 -> 18:36.360] that we spoke about in the last episode
[18:36.360 -> 18:37.960] where they're trying to get it for the next one.
[18:37.960 -> 18:39.800] Heichen something.
[18:39.800 -> 18:41.600] Heineken, okay, four.
[18:41.600 -> 18:42.840] That's four.
[18:42.840 -> 18:43.680] Was it four?
[18:43.680 -> 18:44.500] That's four, that's all he wanted.
[18:44.500 -> 18:45.680] That's all he wanted, dude, there you go. Thanks, dude. That is all he wanted, four. That's four. That's four. That's all he wanted. That's all he wanted, dude.
[18:45.680 -> 18:46.520] There you go.
[18:46.520 -> 18:47.340] Thanks, dude.
[18:47.340 -> 18:48.920] That is all he wanted, four.
[18:48.920 -> 18:50.360] We have no idea what these are gonna say.
[18:50.360 -> 18:53.040] This is John Smith.
[18:53.040 -> 18:54.560] If you were given the opportunity
[18:54.560 -> 18:56.680] to drive any F1 car from history
[18:56.680 -> 18:58.160] at any track of your choice,
[18:58.160 -> 19:00.840] which car would you choose and where would you drive it?
[19:00.840 -> 19:04.660] Any F1 car, any track, where would we drive it?
[19:04.660 -> 19:07.000] Wow. Well, I'm going for a car without the halo. I mean, I'd probably be safer with a car, any track, where would we drive it? Wow. Well I'm going for a car without the halo.
[19:07.000 -> 19:13.000] I mean I'd probably be safer with a car with a halo, but I wouldn't be able to see a thing with that big pole in my face.
[19:13.000 -> 19:17.000] Apparently you can, we just can't on the game. Apparently it's in your blind spot, in the middle of your eye.
[19:17.000 -> 19:19.000] I can see how it would be in your blind spot.
[19:19.000 -> 19:21.000] Okay, maybe I should have a halo actually.
[19:21.000 -> 19:24.000] Thinking about this properly, I'm not an F1 driver.
[19:24.000 -> 19:25.960] Interesting. Think I'll put a halo and a helmet on.
[19:25.960 -> 19:28.760] Yeah, and maybe wrap yourself in bubble wrap.
[19:28.760 -> 19:29.600] Bubble wrap!
[19:29.600 -> 19:33.280] And make sure there's no one anywhere near the track,
[19:33.280 -> 19:34.400] because anything could happen.
[19:34.400 -> 19:36.040] Yeah, maybe remove the barriers.
[19:36.040 -> 19:37.560] Well, I'd go for Monaco.
[19:38.720 -> 19:39.560] Really?
[19:39.560 -> 19:42.040] Fuck, just sign your death wish now.
[19:42.040 -> 19:42.880] No, I wouldn't.
[19:42.880 -> 19:44.360] I'd go for...
[19:45.000 -> 19:50.120] I would go for, I would go for the Mexican Grand Prix
[19:51.280 -> 19:53.640] cause I'm obsessed with it. Yeah, the colors and the stands
[19:53.640 -> 19:55.480] and the way you drive through it all.
[19:55.480 -> 19:56.680] It just looks absolutely amazing.
[19:56.680 -> 20:00.680] And I would do it in the 2013 Red Bull car.
[20:01.520 -> 20:02.360] 2013?
[20:02.360 -> 20:03.180] Yeah.
[20:03.180 -> 20:04.280] There was no halo then, was there?
[20:04.280 -> 20:06.480] No, but I'd put a halo on it because
[20:06.480 -> 20:10.760] Vettel slapped in that car and I reckon it was just a really quick car how about
[20:10.760 -> 20:15.480] you fair enough I'd go for one of the v10 Ferraris I would take it v10 no
[20:15.480 -> 20:22.640] it's v10 v10 engine what we now v6 is that slower then they are a bit slower
[20:22.640 -> 20:25.280] so the cars are slower now than they used to be.
[20:25.280 -> 20:27.080] It doesn't really work out like that.
[20:27.080 -> 20:28.520] Cause they got better aerodynamics
[20:28.520 -> 20:29.600] throughout the rest of the car.
[20:29.600 -> 20:31.280] Yeah. And just like multiple different things
[20:31.280 -> 20:32.600] which affect the speed.
[20:32.600 -> 20:34.720] But no, one of the V10 Ferraris,
[20:34.720 -> 20:36.200] cause they're loud bro.
[20:36.200 -> 20:37.040] We like it loud as well.
[20:37.040 -> 20:38.080] They're so loud.
[20:38.080 -> 20:43.080] And yeah, probably France.
[20:43.680 -> 20:44.800] I like that track.
[20:46.040 -> 20:47.360] Every time I say I like France, you say you don't like France. I like that track. Every time I say I like France,
[20:47.360 -> 20:48.700] you say you don't like France.
[20:48.700 -> 20:49.760] I like France.
[20:49.760 -> 20:51.800] You said it's boring.
[20:51.800 -> 20:53.080] No.
[20:53.080 -> 20:54.480] Well, I want to go to the French Grand Prix.
[20:54.480 -> 20:56.260] I don't know, someone clip that.
[20:56.260 -> 20:58.660] Next up, we got one from Sam Smith.
[21:00.080 -> 21:02.000] Can you both do your best Formula One
[21:02.000 -> 21:03.200] race car impression, please?
[21:03.200 -> 21:05.920] Here's mine, just in case you're wondering. Aaaaaaah!
[21:05.920 -> 21:09.840] That was actually really good!
[21:09.840 -> 21:11.040] Sounds like a fucking mosquito.
[21:11.040 -> 21:12.560] Best race car impression.
[21:12.560 -> 21:13.280] Alright, okay.
[21:13.840 -> 21:14.960] I'll do, um...
[21:16.240 -> 21:20.240] I will do Yuki Tsunoda's car in the last race.
[21:23.680 -> 21:25.340] That was really fucking good. Yours? That was really fucking good.
[21:25.340 -> 21:26.180] Yours?
[21:26.180 -> 21:28.100] That was really good.
[21:30.100 -> 21:30.940] Okay.
[21:32.280 -> 21:33.120] Yeah.
[21:33.120 -> 21:35.060] It makes me cough.
[21:35.060 -> 21:37.300] It makes me cough because you have to get so into it
[21:37.300 -> 21:39.060] to be able to do it.
[21:39.060 -> 21:39.880] Thanks.
[21:39.880 -> 21:40.720] Thanks for that, Sam.
[21:40.720 -> 21:41.540] Thanks for that, Sam.
[21:41.540 -> 21:42.580] Whoever you are.
[21:42.580 -> 21:45.520] Next question is from I've been have
[21:47.520 -> 21:47.560] Christian and Akuma
[21:49.640 -> 22:07.760] That is probably not you say but I try my best 2025 Man that's a fucking tough question. I'm gonna go straight out there now and
[22:09.040 -> 22:10.880] Say Russell
[22:10.880 -> 22:14.920] Okay, I think Russell will be there in 2025
[22:14.920 -> 22:20.200] I think the Stappan's gonna be winning a lot of championships and I think Leclerc will win a fair few as well
[22:20.200 -> 22:22.200] I'm gonna go on a whim and say
[22:22.960 -> 22:26.240] Lando Lando, well, I'd love it to be Lando.
[22:26.240 -> 22:27.840] I'd love it to be, I don't care.
[22:27.840 -> 22:29.720] I'd love it to be Mick Schumacher.
[22:29.720 -> 22:30.560] Oh.
[22:30.560 -> 22:32.040] Tell you what, Mickey.
[22:32.040 -> 22:35.040] Next question is from Aronaman Shunan.
[22:36.480 -> 22:39.520] Who won the first F1 driver championship?
[22:41.120 -> 22:43.960] Who won the first F1 driver championship?
[22:43.960 -> 22:45.560] That's like saying what was the name of the bloke
[22:45.560 -> 22:47.160] who first invented the fire.
[22:47.160 -> 22:48.200] I don't fucking know.
[22:48.200 -> 22:52.280] No, I can't even guess that one.
[22:52.280 -> 22:54.160] We're gonna have to skip that one, sorry.
[22:54.160 -> 22:55.560] Just a simple one.
[22:55.560 -> 22:57.800] When did you guys start watching F1?
[22:57.800 -> 22:58.840] When did we start watching F1?
[22:58.840 -> 22:59.760] Who was that by the way?
[22:59.760 -> 23:01.440] That was from Furious F1.
[23:01.440 -> 23:02.720] Furious F1, thanks for the question.
[23:02.720 -> 23:09.800] We first started watching F1 around about October last year, like properly together. I used to watch it with my dad when I was
[23:09.800 -> 23:14.920] a kid, grew up, became a teenager, didn't really care about it and then it's come full
[23:14.920 -> 23:20.320] circle. It was a lot of Drive to Survive, like don't get me wrong, we've said this a
[23:20.320 -> 23:25.040] thousand times, we are Drive to Survive fans fans but we don't just watch drive to survive
[23:25.040 -> 23:28.400] like there's no drive to survive anymore we watched it we watched the grand prix we follow
[23:28.400 -> 23:34.000] the news but yeah we started watching it not long ago next question is from jacob coveney
[23:35.280 -> 23:41.520] who do you think is the most underrated formula one driver at the moment the most underrated most
[23:41.520 -> 23:45.360] underrated formula one driver at the moment? It's a great question!
[23:45.360 -> 23:46.000] Right now...
[23:49.040 -> 23:50.880] On that grid, I think the most...
[23:50.880 -> 23:54.480] I think I said to someone last week and now I feel like I'm going to contradict myself.
[23:55.280 -> 23:57.840] I've got two people. One I would say Joe Guagnini.
[23:57.840 -> 24:00.880] That's who I said last week because of how amazing he did in his rookie.
[24:00.880 -> 24:05.160] Because he's done really fucking well. I don't really know much about him of his his career in racing
[24:05.160 -> 24:08.600] But like he did really well those first two races. So really good
[24:09.520 -> 24:11.520] and then I
[24:11.560 -> 24:17.160] Don't know if he's underrated but maybe more so than the other guys Carlos signs. Hmm. Yeah
[24:17.160 -> 24:22.760] I don't think he's underrated as such but then he's not showing the spotlight as much like I get whenever they talk about like a
[24:22.760 -> 24:25.720] Ferrari Red Bull, but battle it'sclerc and Verstappen,
[24:25.720 -> 24:27.600] but obviously that's because they won the first two races.
[24:27.600 -> 24:29.280] But no, I am with you.
[24:29.280 -> 24:31.360] I think definitely Sainz is a bit underrated.
[24:31.360 -> 24:32.200] Anyone else?
[24:32.200 -> 24:34.840] I think that would change if Sainz went and won some races
[24:34.840 -> 24:35.680] to be fair.
[24:35.680 -> 24:36.660] Like, so we'll see.
[24:36.660 -> 24:37.760] Let's see what happens.
[24:37.760 -> 24:39.800] The next question is from Aaron Spry.
[24:40.720 -> 24:44.240] What are your top three favorite tracks
[24:44.240 -> 24:46.000] from this calendar season for F1?
[24:46.000 -> 24:50.000] And your top three worst, like least favourite as well?
[24:50.000 -> 24:51.000] Yeah.
[24:51.000 -> 24:53.000] And he's from Australia he said.
[24:53.000 -> 24:54.000] He's in Australia.
[24:54.000 -> 24:55.000] Alright.
[24:55.000 -> 24:57.000] Alright mate, thanks for sending in a message.
[24:57.000 -> 25:00.000] I would have to say, so my top three favourite tracks.
[25:00.000 -> 25:02.000] Top three from this season and worst three.
[25:02.000 -> 25:06.600] Well I'm straight away putting one of my worst three as
[25:08.120 -> 25:12.500] I've gone completely blank. I had it in my head and I can't remember what it is Saudi Arabia
[25:12.500 -> 25:18.640] So we just really dangerous. Yeah, that's the one that they just did that's dangerous. Yes. Yeah, that's in mine as well Saudi
[25:18.640 -> 25:20.480] So we both go with that
[25:20.480 -> 25:22.960] I'm also not a huge fan of
[25:24.920 -> 25:28.000] Hmm there's one Italy track that I don't like as much as the other one.
[25:28.000 -> 25:31.000] But I can't think of what the Italy tracks are.
[25:31.000 -> 25:33.000] The one in the shape of an L. Monza.
[25:33.000 -> 25:34.000] Maybe.
[25:34.000 -> 25:35.000] That's the fastest track.
[25:35.000 -> 25:37.000] What's the one where I always spin out on the game?
[25:37.000 -> 25:39.000] That's pretty much every fucking track.
[25:39.000 -> 25:40.000] That's Monza.
[25:40.000 -> 25:43.000] I don't dislike any... Let's do what our favourite tracks are then.
[25:43.000 -> 25:46.020] So Mexico's my favourite. I haven't really got any least favorite
[25:46.020 -> 25:51.120] No, I don't. Me neither. Mexico's your favorite track. Yeah. No, I like France mate. I've always said I like France as well
[25:51.880 -> 25:57.880] France is amazing because it's so wide like there's them big there's that big bit where you that is a chicane two quick corners where
[25:57.880 -> 26:02.120] You fly through. Yeah, so wide so you can cut corners all day long. See I like that
[26:02.120 -> 26:06.040] That's the kind of racing I like. Monaco is one of my favorites just because of the history
[26:06.040 -> 26:08.080] and also Spa because of the history.
[26:08.080 -> 26:09.280] Those two.
[26:09.280 -> 26:12.280] I also think the Spanish Grand Prix is quite good, I think.
[26:12.280 -> 26:13.120] Espanol.
[26:13.120 -> 26:14.240] Never watched it.
[26:14.240 -> 26:16.640] I've never seen it, but I think it's quite good.
[26:16.640 -> 26:17.800] All right, solid.
[26:17.800 -> 26:21.680] Next question is from Jack Mason and it's 29 seconds.
[26:21.680 -> 26:22.720] So this could say anything.
[26:22.720 -> 26:24.280] Yes, Jack Mason was good.
[26:47.520 -> 26:52.320] Yes, boys Mason was good Charles, Lando, George, Mick, Gasly, even a couple in F2 at the minute. Or even like someone like Pierre Stringer could potentially come on the grid and win one.
[26:52.320 -> 26:54.320] Yeah, thanks guys.
[26:54.320 -> 26:55.440] Great question.
[26:55.440 -> 26:57.440] I think we should match his tone of voice.
[26:57.440 -> 26:58.800] So...
[26:58.800 -> 27:02.880] I think maybe, I think Pierre Gasly has a lot of potential.
[27:02.880 -> 27:06.800] Don't get me wrong, I agree, I think Pierre Gasly could get a significant amount
[27:06.800 -> 27:08.680] of championships, but I don't think he's,
[27:08.680 -> 27:10.960] Pierre Gasly's at the same age as Verstappen.
[27:10.960 -> 27:13.240] So you're already competing with someone in a better car.
[27:13.240 -> 27:14.260] Mama mia.
[27:14.260 -> 27:15.840] I think if you're looking at the retirement,
[27:15.840 -> 27:18.000] the person who's gonna get the most amount of championships
[27:18.000 -> 27:20.520] at the moment is gonna be Verstappen.
[27:20.520 -> 27:22.360] At the moment, on the current grid,
[27:22.360 -> 27:24.320] who will have the most championships out of that?
[27:24.320 -> 27:27.360] Copy, solid. Copy, solid copy solid agree with your logic
[27:27.360 -> 27:28.080] Yeah, yeah
[27:28.080 -> 27:34.720] But then I also do think it wouldn't be hard for someone like Russell to out of nowhere slap it go and get a bloody
[27:34.720 -> 27:35.680] World Championship this year
[27:35.680 -> 27:36.280] Fuck me
[27:36.280 -> 27:40.040] This is why I guess be so excited and then Russell could instantly be in the same shoes
[27:40.040 -> 27:46.260] You can't predict what the fuck is gonna happen. I want this weekend, in a way, like I want Red Bull to win every week.
[27:46.260 -> 27:47.340] I want Verstappen to win every week.
[27:47.340 -> 27:48.940] You'd want Ferrari to win every week.
[27:48.940 -> 27:50.780] But I won't care if Red Bull or Ferrari
[27:50.780 -> 27:52.180] aren't even in the top three this week,
[27:52.180 -> 27:54.020] just because I want it to be a good race.
[27:54.020 -> 27:55.180] I want it to be mixed up.
[27:55.180 -> 27:57.060] I want different people to win every race.
[27:57.060 -> 27:58.820] I just think it makes it so much better.
[27:58.820 -> 28:00.420] Be nice to have more than like two teams
[28:00.420 -> 28:02.380] or two people fighting for the championship.
[28:02.380 -> 28:03.220] Definitely.
[28:03.220 -> 28:05.200] Next question's from Jake Webb. Hello, Pitstop. Definitely. Next question is from Jake Webb.
[28:11.040 -> 28:16.320] Hello Pitstop. Hello. My question is actually regarding Mercedes now with their early season issues of a porpoising. How long do you realistically think it's gonna take
[28:17.040 -> 28:23.040] for them to get a car that's worthy of a race winner? Oh yeah well Jay you've come to the right
[28:23.040 -> 28:26.000] people I tell you that. Definitely come to the right people.
[28:26.000 -> 28:30.000] What do you think then Fab? How long until Mercedes get a race winner with the Porpoise issues?
[28:30.000 -> 28:31.000] Fuck, maybe this weekend.
[28:31.000 -> 28:33.000] Well, they've made the changes.
[28:33.000 -> 28:42.000] They've said, I've read that there was never going to be a quick fix, so maybe like this weekend's only 50% fix, but I don't know, Mercedes are top team.
[28:42.000 -> 28:47.600] I'm going to take a gamble and say I think Mercedes will win a race in May I
[28:48.400 -> 28:53.080] Think the Mercedes a winner race in May so next month, so I think next month
[28:53.080 -> 28:59.740] We've got Barcelona and we've got an Italy. I think what reason sure I know I just think they're not quite there yet
[28:59.740 -> 29:01.200] I think they're gonna keep improving
[29:01.200 -> 29:08.000] I wouldn't be surprised if we see Mercedes on a podium this weekend, which you see in my predictions. Oh god. How do you think then? Do you think
[29:08.000 -> 29:11.320] Mercedes are there now? Or do you think they could be there this weekend? Or do you think?
[29:11.320 -> 29:15.760] Nah I kind of agree. I think like maybe 50% this weekend and then you know maybe by Imola
[29:15.760 -> 29:24.120] at the end of April. That reminds me, by Imola, Red Bull would have shaved 8kg off their car
[29:24.120 -> 29:27.080] according to Lizzie McIntosh on TikTok.
[29:27.080 -> 29:28.560] Bloody hell, that girl knows too much.
[29:28.560 -> 29:30.880] 8kg, mate, do you know how heavy that is?
[29:31.800 -> 29:33.680] 8kg, yes, I do.
[29:33.680 -> 29:35.400] What would you say is 8kg?
[29:35.400 -> 29:37.200] That's a lot to shave off a car, mate.
[29:37.200 -> 29:39.000] It is a fair fucking amount.
[29:39.000 -> 29:41.920] I Googled it, so I wanted to know how heavy 8kg was,
[29:41.920 -> 29:42.960] because I didn't know.
[29:42.960 -> 29:44.880] I was like, is that a bag of sugar or something?
[29:44.880 -> 29:46.160] No, it's like a bag of sand probably.
[29:46.160 -> 29:47.000] I Googled it.
[29:47.000 -> 29:49.400] It's the same weight as a television,
[29:49.400 -> 29:52.680] a small mattress, a bag full of clothes,
[29:52.680 -> 29:54.340] a box full of books.
[29:54.340 -> 29:55.840] Mate, wiping that off in a car.
[29:55.840 -> 29:57.280] That's such a weird fucking thing to say.
[29:57.280 -> 29:58.480] One, how big is the box?
[29:58.480 -> 30:00.120] And two, how big is the books
[30:00.120 -> 30:00.960] and how many are in the box?
[30:00.960 -> 30:03.280] I don't know, but basically what they've learned here today.
[30:03.280 -> 30:04.120] A box of books.
[30:04.120 -> 30:06.000] Why would Google say that? I don't know. but basically, what they've learnt here today- A box of books! Why would Google say that?
[30:06.000 -> 30:08.000] I don't know, I don't even know why I was Googling that.
[30:08.000 -> 30:12.000] If anyone Googling wants to know what 8kg is, it's a box of books.
[30:12.000 -> 30:14.000] I don't even know why I was Googling that.
[30:14.000 -> 30:17.000] But what you've learnt here today is that by Imola,
[30:17.000 -> 30:19.000] Red Bull would have shaved the television off their car.
[30:19.000 -> 30:22.000] How do you think they just shave a television off?
[30:22.000 -> 30:24.000] They just remove it.
[30:24.000 -> 30:25.640] Just like, take a piece off? They just remove it. Just like take a piece off?
[30:25.640 -> 30:26.480] They just remove the TV.
[30:26.480 -> 30:28.120] They just get at it with a razor and just slowly-
[30:28.120 -> 30:29.280] You shouldn't really be watching TV
[30:29.280 -> 30:30.120] when they're fucking-
[30:30.120 -> 30:32.560] Take little bits off with a knife.
[30:32.560 -> 30:33.480] Dunno, really.
[30:33.480 -> 30:35.780] I reckon a lot of it comes from under the car.
[30:35.780 -> 30:38.600] Yeah, plastic, you can shave plastic down, can't you?
[30:38.600 -> 30:39.480] Bits and bobs.
[30:39.480 -> 30:41.340] I look at it though, and I still think there's loads
[30:41.340 -> 30:43.960] they could take off to make it lighter.
[30:43.960 -> 30:44.800] Loads of-
[30:44.800 -> 30:45.640] Take the wheels off?
[30:45.640 -> 30:46.460] There's four of them.
[30:46.460 -> 30:49.160] What do you reckon the heaviest part of the car is?
[30:49.160 -> 30:50.000] The engine.
[30:50.000 -> 30:52.200] Do you reckon the engine's heavier than the driver?
[30:55.040 -> 30:55.880] Good question.
[30:55.880 -> 30:57.760] I don't know what the heaviest part of the car would be.
[30:57.760 -> 30:59.560] Would you say all four wheels is heavier
[30:59.560 -> 31:02.280] than the driver, together?
[31:02.280 -> 31:03.520] I don't really know, mate.
[31:03.520 -> 31:04.800] We need to get a wheel, don't we?
[31:04.800 -> 31:05.800] That was something we wanna do. We wanna get a wheel, don't we? That was something we want to do.
[31:05.800 -> 31:09.140] We want to get a wheel and I, the thing for the pit.
[31:09.140 -> 31:10.980] So when we get guests on, they can come round
[31:10.980 -> 31:12.820] and we can see how quick they can change a wheel.
[31:12.820 -> 31:15.100] I swear I read somewhere that you could like pick an F1 car
[31:15.100 -> 31:16.340] up yourself.
[31:16.340 -> 31:18.060] Like not fucking above your head, but you could like,
[31:18.060 -> 31:19.500] if you went to the back and like lifted the back.
[31:19.500 -> 31:20.660] Yeah, they're meant to be quite lightweight.
[31:20.660 -> 31:22.340] That's what makes me think maybe the driver is like the
[31:22.340 -> 31:23.660] heaviest thing in the car.
[31:23.660 -> 31:24.500] Potench.
[31:24.500 -> 31:26.360] But 8kg seems like quite a lot but anyway
[31:26.360 -> 31:31.040] next question Gracie Hadon. Hadon. I always pronounce everyone's name so wrong
[31:31.040 -> 31:34.640] but yeah Gracie's coming up.
[31:34.640 -> 31:36.640] Hello, I absolutely love your podcast. I just wanted to say it.
[31:36.640 -> 31:38.640] Let's go Gracie.
[31:38.640 -> 31:40.640] It's a great idea and I love listening to it every week.
[31:40.640 -> 31:48.960] Do you think you are finally accepted into the F1 community or do you still think there are gatekeepers blocking your entry into the world of F1?
[31:48.960 -> 31:49.960] Great question!
[31:49.960 -> 31:50.960] Good question.
[31:50.960 -> 31:54.640] How do you feel about where we sit within the F1 community, Fab?
[31:54.640 -> 31:58.560] I think we've had a good reception considering.
[31:58.560 -> 32:04.760] I remember in the first couple of podcasts, me saying it is one of those closed off elite
[32:04.760 -> 32:05.360] sports which is going to be really hard for us to break into, but I like, it is one of those sort of closed off like elite sports,
[32:05.360 -> 32:07.000] which is gonna be really hard for us to break into.
[32:07.000 -> 32:09.200] But I feel like it's been really kind of easy.
[32:09.200 -> 32:10.560] There's obviously been people who think
[32:10.560 -> 32:12.320] that like we're a fucking couple of idiots
[32:12.320 -> 32:13.160] and you're not wrong.
[32:13.160 -> 32:14.000] You're not wrong.
[32:14.000 -> 32:17.600] However, a lot of people, including yourself, Gracie,
[32:17.600 -> 32:19.360] have clearly been very nice to us.
[32:19.360 -> 32:24.040] But quite honestly, like don't really care too much
[32:24.040 -> 32:27.520] what people think about us, because everyone was
[32:27.520 -> 32:30.520] new at one point, so if anyone's going to hate on us then...
[32:30.520 -> 32:32.080] Mate, I'm completely with you.
[32:32.080 -> 32:34.080] Nothing spades me in the slightest.
[32:34.080 -> 32:38.040] Any comment that comes in like, these guys don't know anything, I'm like, yeah I know.
[32:38.040 -> 32:39.400] You know what I mean?
[32:39.400 -> 32:41.160] I just banter with anyone.
[32:41.160 -> 32:42.440] We're not people...
[32:42.440 -> 32:50.260] It doesn't really affect us if people don't like it, but what Fab said is spot on. We've had so much positive stuff. I mean, Spotify
[32:50.260 -> 32:56.400] have put us in the bloody essential F1 playlist. Like if you go on sports on Spotify and click
[32:56.400 -> 33:02.800] F1, it says essential F1 podcasts and bloody Pitstop is there. So if we're being put there,
[33:02.800 -> 33:03.960] we must be doing something right.
[33:03.960 -> 33:05.040] Don't get it twisted.
[33:05.040 -> 33:07.760] It's not as if we don't fucking like care about people.
[33:07.760 -> 33:10.120] Like any criticism is good criticism.
[33:10.120 -> 33:12.760] So anyone that does, anyone who does say like,
[33:12.760 -> 33:14.600] you guys need to improve here and here,
[33:14.600 -> 33:16.120] then we'll listen to it a hundred percent
[33:16.120 -> 33:17.120] and take it on board.
[33:17.120 -> 33:19.280] But next question.
[33:19.280 -> 33:20.260] Mika Brown.
[33:21.720 -> 33:24.480] Where are we at crowdfunding that yacht for Monaco?
[33:24.480 -> 33:26.120] Oh my god.
[33:26.120 -> 33:28.120] 100% in.
[33:28.120 -> 33:30.120] Oh where are we at with the yacht?
[33:30.120 -> 33:32.120] So basically we were gonna get...
[33:32.120 -> 33:34.120] I'm still building it.
[33:34.120 -> 33:36.120] We were gonna hire a yacht and charge £5 tickets.
[33:36.120 -> 33:38.120] I did a bit of research.
[33:38.120 -> 33:40.120] I don't know whether it's gonna happen.
[33:40.120 -> 33:42.120] With £5 tickets.
[33:42.120 -> 33:44.120] We might have to up it a little bit.
[33:44.120 -> 33:45.280] To like a grand each. It'd have to be a pretty big fucking yacht to get enough five pound tickets. We might have to up it a little bit to like a grand.
[33:45.280 -> 33:47.080] It'd have to be a pretty big fucking yacht
[33:47.080 -> 33:49.520] to get enough fibers in to build a fucking get a yacht.
[33:49.520 -> 33:53.400] But yeah, no, I would assume it's not happening.
[33:53.400 -> 33:54.440] But we're working on it.
[33:54.440 -> 33:55.280] We're working on it.
[33:55.280 -> 33:58.120] Maybe the racing gods will have their way.
[33:58.120 -> 33:59.520] She sent one more and she said,
[33:59.520 -> 34:00.960] this is the actual question.
[34:00.960 -> 34:02.160] Okay.
[34:02.160 -> 34:03.860] Do either of you have a day job?
[34:11.280 -> 34:14.480] Yes. Yes. Yeah. I do. do I do what do you do I am a builder nice what did you do it work today what's your highlight of the day today there
[34:14.480 -> 34:18.880] was no highlight of today you had something on your car today did you yes
[34:18.880 -> 34:25.600] you got in trouble today yes what happened I got a parking ticket Jake. How many parking tickets have you had in the last month five?
[34:27.920 -> 34:29.920] Park your car
[34:31.960 -> 34:34.680] Don't park illegally it's bad and
[34:35.320 -> 34:38.320] I work from home on a load of sports socials
[34:38.400 -> 34:43.120] So yeah, fab goes out and does that and then as soon as he comes back if he's had a good day
[34:43.240 -> 34:48.880] Then we're really energetic and we do the podcast. sometimes he's really tired and I'm like really energetic
[34:48.880 -> 34:53.280] he comes home knackered and I'm like it's like it's like coming home to a two month
[34:53.280 -> 34:58.160] old puppy who won't stop jumping up at your legs literally like the best way I could describe
[34:58.160 -> 35:00.160] it Veronica has said
[35:00.160 -> 35:06.440] Hi Pitstop I just thought that everyone should know which constructor has the most
[35:06.440 -> 35:12.240] championships. Well Veronica, that is, I'm so fucking gassed that there's more, there's
[35:12.240 -> 35:15.760] so many, it's amazing hearing people from all around the world isn't it? Love you guys.
[35:15.760 -> 35:20.200] Well let's confirm to her, the constructor with the most championships is, Ferrari. Let's
[35:20.200 -> 35:25.620] go, nice and easy. We've got a few more, and then we'll bring the podcast to the end.
[35:26.520 -> 35:30.480] Next question is from Jake Smith.
[35:30.480 -> 35:31.320] Hello, mate.
[35:31.320 -> 35:33.440] This is a message for Fabio.
[35:33.440 -> 35:34.520] What would you do if you came home
[35:34.520 -> 35:35.360] and Lewis Hamilton was-
[35:35.360 -> 35:40.360] Oh, well, it's nice to see that someone-
[35:44.120 -> 35:47.000] Guys, thanks so much for tuning in to Pinst someone was nice and fun and nice and sent to Cuba.
[35:47.000 -> 35:52.160] Guys, thanks so much for tuning in to Pit Stop, we're here every Monday and Thursday.
[35:52.160 -> 35:57.160] If I came home and Lewis Hamilton was **** I'd say fair play mum, but my mum wants Jenson
[35:57.160 -> 35:58.880] Button so that's not going to happen.
[35:58.880 -> 36:01.600] I think he said you're mad didn't he?
[36:01.600 -> 36:03.960] Last couple of voice notes, I hope we're not boring you.
[36:03.960 -> 36:05.940] If you want to send in voice notes for the next time
[36:05.940 -> 36:07.780] We do this Instagram at pit stop
[36:07.780 -> 36:11.660] Just send us a voice note and we'll put some of them in and if you don't want us to do this again
[36:11.660 -> 36:14.660] Tell us as well. But yeah, this one's from someone called Grace as well
[36:16.320 -> 36:21.180] Okay, so my question for you guys is
[36:22.580 -> 36:24.580] What food would an F1 driver be?
[36:25.000 -> 36:26.520] Like say for instance, I don't know Sebastian Vettel like for you guys is, what food would an F1 driver be?
[36:28.160 -> 36:32.300] Like say for instance, I don't know, Sebastian Vettel like, pesto pasta, whatever.
[36:32.300 -> 36:35.080] What would they be as food?
[36:35.080 -> 36:36.520] What would a driver be as food?
[36:36.520 -> 36:39.600] Sebastian Vettel would be a schnitzel because he's German.
[36:39.600 -> 36:41.560] Okay, Sebastian Vettel is a schnitzel.
[36:41.560 -> 36:43.080] I don't know any Dutch food for the second.
[36:43.080 -> 36:44.560] Lewis Hamilton is a hot dog,
[36:44.560 -> 36:45.760] because hot dogs are like, oh no, Lewis Hamilton is fish and chipsitzel. I don't know any Dutch food for a snack. Lewis Hamilton is a hot dog, cause hot dogs are like,
[36:45.760 -> 36:48.080] oh no, Lewis Hamilton is fish and chips.
[36:48.080 -> 36:48.920] Yes.
[36:48.920 -> 36:49.800] Cause it's English.
[36:49.800 -> 36:50.640] Yeah.
[36:50.640 -> 36:52.560] Carlos Sainz is...
[36:52.560 -> 36:53.480] He's Spanish, isn't he?
[36:53.480 -> 36:54.520] He's like a paella.
[36:54.520 -> 36:56.240] No, he'd be like some little bit of tapas.
[36:56.240 -> 36:57.960] Ooh, a little bit of tapas.
[36:57.960 -> 36:59.280] A little bit of this, that, and that.
[36:59.280 -> 37:00.120] I like that.
[37:00.120 -> 37:00.940] Okay, here's one for you.
[37:00.940 -> 37:01.780] What would Bottas be?
[37:03.040 -> 37:06.240] An ice lolly, because he is the ice man. A freezing cold ice lolly. No, I need to stop fucking saying that joke. But I know Bottas be? An ice lolly because he is the ice man. A freezing cold
[37:06.240 -> 37:09.920] ice lolly. No I need to stop fucking saying that joke. I know Bottas isn't the ice man.
[37:09.920 -> 37:18.040] Bottas would be... Finnish food. He would be like... He'd be an empty plate because he's
[37:18.040 -> 37:23.600] finished it all. Nice. I like what you've done there. I'm not sure how we put drivers with
[37:23.600 -> 37:27.640] food but if you have any ideas listen to that and you can think of what food a driver would be
[37:27.760 -> 37:31.300] Do send us a message and let us know next question is from Jean Moreno
[37:36.680 -> 37:41.040] Some teams are avoiding the extra weight to not painting their
[37:42.040 -> 37:44.040] delivery the full way
[37:44.040 -> 37:46.720] at their livery the full way, so they're like half painted on certain areas.
[37:46.720 -> 37:48.360] And I think that's like a horrible thing
[37:48.360 -> 37:50.600] because it kind of ruins the branding of Formula One
[37:50.600 -> 37:51.760] and the branding of the cars
[37:51.760 -> 37:54.680] because they're not like fully looking as good as they could
[37:54.680 -> 37:56.520] because they basically need to,
[37:58.320 -> 37:59.560] you know, just keep it as it is.
[37:59.560 -> 38:01.320] Corbin, I've got a little thing you already got here,
[38:01.320 -> 38:02.640] actually, you can check it out.
[38:02.640 -> 38:04.520] Wow, I've got the article here.
[38:04.520 -> 38:05.000] Crazy.
[38:05.000 -> 38:08.000] How are teams dealing with overweight at the beginning of the season?
[38:08.000 -> 38:12.000] So, he's basically saying that some teams aren't fully painting their cars.
[38:12.000 -> 38:16.000] That never occurred to me, because I've got to say, I think some of the cars look fucking blind in this year.
[38:16.000 -> 38:19.000] Surely paint weighs nothing though.
[38:19.000 -> 38:21.000] It all adds up, mate.
[38:21.000 -> 38:23.000] Yeah, and stuff like this, yeah.
[38:23.000 -> 38:25.800] That needs to be one of the main things we need to find out.
[38:25.800 -> 38:28.000] That's why Lewis Hamilton used to shave his head.
[38:28.000 -> 38:28.800] Why?
[38:28.800 -> 38:29.800] To save weight.
[38:29.800 -> 38:30.400] No, it's not.
[38:30.400 -> 38:33.400] But now he's just so quick, he's grown out of those dreadlocks that he's got.
[38:33.400 -> 38:34.600] Surely not.
[38:34.600 -> 38:37.800] To be fair, not many of the drivers have long hair.
[38:37.800 -> 38:38.600] There you go.
[38:38.600 -> 38:41.200] Fernando Alonso does, but he's so good that it doesn't matter.
[38:41.200 -> 38:41.800] Doesn't need it.
[38:41.800 -> 38:42.600] It doesn't matter.
[38:42.600 -> 38:43.400] Doesn't need it.
[38:43.400 -> 38:45.920] We do need to find out what the heaviest part of the car is.
[38:45.920 -> 38:47.920] That's why Mazepin's hairline was so bad.
[38:47.920 -> 38:49.480] Yeah, because he deliberately made it bad.
[38:49.480 -> 38:52.200] He wasn't born with it, he just shaved off his hairline.
[38:52.200 -> 38:54.160] Yeah, shaved it off really, really high.
[38:54.160 -> 38:55.880] And he still couldn't win.
[38:55.880 -> 38:57.720] So he just kept going higher and higher.
[38:57.720 -> 38:58.920] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[38:58.920 -> 39:00.440] Every season, he went back another inch.
[39:00.440 -> 39:02.600] Every race, he gets a razor out.
[39:02.600 -> 39:03.440] Christ alive.
[39:03.440 -> 39:04.960] Yeah, we need to find out what the heaviest part
[39:04.960 -> 39:06.200] of the car is so we can figure out
[39:06.200 -> 39:08.800] whether the driver is the heaviest part.
[39:08.800 -> 39:11.000] That's for Stappans nuts, probably.
[39:11.000 -> 39:11.840] You reckon?
[39:11.840 -> 39:12.880] For the fucking gaps that he's going for, yeah.
[39:12.880 -> 39:14.320] He's got some balls, I'll tell you that.
[39:14.320 -> 39:15.200] But yeah, there we go.
[39:15.200 -> 39:16.480] That is the end of the questions.
[39:16.480 -> 39:18.080] There is some more, but we didn't want to do them all
[39:18.080 -> 39:20.600] because we've been filming for a bit longer than usual.
[39:20.600 -> 39:22.920] But if you do want us to do this again,
[39:22.920 -> 39:24.680] Instagram at Pitstop, send them in.
[39:24.680 -> 39:26.220] Give a podcast a five-star review
[39:26.480 -> 39:30.700] But very quickly before we go predictions. Who's your top three for?
[39:31.220 -> 39:36.440] Australia top three for Australia is in first place Leclerc
[39:37.040 -> 39:39.040] second place Verstappen
[39:39.200 -> 39:44.560] third place Carlos Sainz. Nice. I like it. I reckon you get some points for that this season. Thank you
[39:44.560 -> 39:49.280] Hopefully definitely I think you get some I've gone for Verstappen to win, Leclerc second and
[39:50.360 -> 39:52.360] Hamilton third.
[39:52.800 -> 39:55.880] It was a hard decision because Russell's finished higher than Hamilton.
[39:56.600 -> 40:01.920] Like, so you think even though their car may not be fully developed, I'm gonna give you a big reason why I've done this.
[40:01.920 -> 40:05.200] How big? Well, Hamilton's not bad in Australia,
[40:05.760 -> 40:12.080] like he does all right there. Also, Russell can't have raced in Australia for the last two years
[40:12.640 -> 40:17.040] because they didn't race there for Covid. So Hamilton has got a lot more experience than
[40:17.040 -> 40:19.360] Russell. I don't even know if Russell's ever raced in Australia. I thought you were going
[40:19.360 -> 40:23.680] to put Bottas in your top three? No, I want to but I couldn't do it. How long was Russell at
[40:23.680 -> 40:25.520] Mercedes, no at Williams
[40:25.520 -> 40:29.280] and did he race for another team before them? Don't know and don't know again. Because Russell
[40:29.280 -> 40:33.440] may never have raced in Australia, that's why I couldn't put Russell there because they didn't
[40:33.440 -> 40:37.440] race there for the last two years is what I'm saying. That's why I've put Hamilton third over
[40:37.440 -> 40:41.840] Russell. Interesting, even with a half developed car. Even with a half developed where they got big
[40:41.840 -> 40:46.320] changes this weekend and Red Bull got 8kg a television off for Imola
[40:46.480 -> 40:49.960] Jesus Christ exhibit has been pimping out their rides and putting TVs
[40:49.960 -> 40:51.960] What's that show?
[40:51.960 -> 40:53.960] Pimp my ride
[40:53.960 -> 40:55.960] Oh my god
[40:55.960 -> 40:57.960] We need to get a car and pimp my ride
