[01:11.000 -> 01:12.000] Part 1 was legs wasn't it?
[01:12.000 -> 01:17.000] Part 1 was absolutely amazing and it's only getting better!
[01:17.000 -> 01:26.800] Oh it is! Guys we hope you love part 2, it was sick to sit down with Matt, this guy that we see on YouTube all the time, and have him in our living room. Yeah, very, very cool.

[01:34.600 -> 01:35.600] Roll it!
[01:36.000 -> 01:39.000] I saw George Russell in an interview, and I wasn't sure whether it's true,
[01:39.000 -> 01:43.600] but he said that they flipped a coin before every race to see who was a 1-2 driver.
[01:43.600 -> 01:47.280] That was Russell saying it was Hamilton Hamilton. Russell actually said that on TV.
[01:47.280 -> 01:52.360] Would that have been, I don't know if that's for the specific, because I think I heard
[01:52.360 -> 01:57.540] that as well, where I think it's in qualifying of who gets the tow. So whoever goes out first
[01:57.540 -> 01:59.960] in qualifying obviously gets a little bit of a disadvantage.
[01:59.960 -> 02:02.560] This is where I'm not too good to do it.
[02:02.560 -> 02:10.000] It's going to be number one. We take points of information and then we kind of just string our own storyline around it.
[02:10.000 -> 02:14.000] It's not easy to take it all in. It's one of the most technical sports in the world, man.
[02:14.000 -> 02:15.000] Very true.
[02:15.000 -> 02:19.000] So what you're telling me is it's not the skill, it's just whoever's flipped a coin at the start of the weekend.
[02:19.000 -> 02:21.000] I've been watching and taking it all in.
[02:21.000 -> 02:25.400] You know what, you've been dog shit this season, but you got ahead, so you're up. It's not far away,
[02:25.400 -> 02:27.320] because technically whoever wins the coin toss
[02:27.320 -> 02:29.080] does get a slight advantage.
[02:29.080 -> 02:30.960] So yeah, you're not wrong.
[02:30.960 -> 02:31.880] There we go, I'll take that.
[02:31.880 -> 02:34.120] 50% correct, very good.
[02:34.120 -> 02:36.000] Well, we've got Spa coming up, Matt.
[02:36.920 -> 02:38.280] What do you think is gonna happen?
[02:38.280 -> 02:41.080] What do you see happening at Spa this weekend?
[02:41.080 -> 02:41.920] It's difficult,
[02:41.920 -> 02:42.760] because there's a lot of talk
[02:42.760 -> 02:44.520] about these porpoising regulations
[02:44.520 -> 02:47.000] and how car setups are gonna have to change Mae'n anodd. Mae yna lawer o siarad am y rheoliadau porpoising a sut mae'r set-upau'n mynd i ddewis.
[02:47.000 -> 02:56.000] Mae'r FIA yn ymweld â'r carau'n dda iawn ar hyn o bryd. Mae yna lawer o siarad am newidiadau i Red Bull a Ferrari
[02:56.000 -> 03:00.000] fod yn y dwy fwrdd gweithredol o ddod allan gyda pethau na ddylai eu gwneud.
[03:00.000 -> 03:06.720] Wel, gallai rhywun wneud pwbeth na ddylai. Wel, ie, mae'n fwy o'r ffordd o ddangos y rheoliadau, ac, yw'n gwybod, nid wedi cael ei gynhyrchu,
[03:06.720 -> 03:10.640] ond dyna'r ddau tîm sydd wedi cael eu sôn amdano fel efallai eu bod yn cael rhywbeth
[03:10.640 -> 03:15.200] na ddylai gael ar gyfer y holl beth yma, ac ymhellach, dwi'n credu hefyd,
[03:15.200 -> 03:18.200] ddim, yw'n gwybod, ddweud wrthom ar hynny, ond dwi'n gwybod bod yna lawer o siarad o ran, efallai,
[03:18.200 -> 03:22.840] Mercedes yn ymgyrchu, a Red Bull a Ferrari yn cael eu gynnyrchu yn ôl,
[03:22.840 -> 03:25.300] ond ie, mae llawer o siarad, lawer o bethau, ac dwi ddim yn credu ei fod wedi cael ei gynhyrchu, and Red Bull and Ferrari being pegged back. But there's a lot of chatter, a lot of stuff.
[03:25.300 -> 03:27.140] And I don't think it was ever confirmed.
[03:27.140 -> 03:29.220] But yeah, Spa is gonna be fascinating.
[03:29.220 -> 03:30.580] Hopefully, firstly, we get a race,
[03:30.580 -> 03:31.740] because last year we didn't.
[03:31.740 -> 03:32.900] Yeah, I saw that.
[03:32.900 -> 03:34.260] They only got half points.
[03:34.260 -> 03:35.820] Well, Verstappen was seen as one,
[03:35.820 -> 03:36.820] but he only got half points.
[03:36.820 -> 03:38.180] Was it just rained off?
[03:38.180 -> 03:39.020] One lap?
[03:39.020 -> 03:40.220] Yeah, I thought so, one lap.
[03:40.220 -> 03:42.340] Yeah, it was the maddest, well, not the maddest race,
[03:42.340 -> 03:44.440] but the maddest event, I suppose,
[03:44.440 -> 03:48.000] where obviously on Saturday, it was a rainy qualifying. Iawn, roedd y cymorth, nid y cymorth y fath, ond y cymorth y fath, rwy'n credu. Yn amlwg, ar y Saturday, roedd y cymorth yn ddifrifol.
[03:48.000 -> 03:51.000] Roedd George Russell yn gwneud y cymorth mwyaf ddiddorol yn Williams,
[03:51.000 -> 03:53.000] a chyflwyno'r P2.
[03:53.000 -> 03:56.000] Roedd yn y cymorth cyntaf, nes bod Verstappen wedi rhoi'r diwrnod ar y diwedd.
[03:56.000 -> 03:59.000] Rwy'n glir, mewn gwirionedd, fod Russell ddim wedi cael ei gyflwyno cyntaf
[03:59.000 -> 04:02.000] gan gael y cymorth y fath ar ôl y car ddangos.
[04:02.000 -> 04:04.000] Yn ddiwedd, roedd yn y cymorth eithaf fwyaf,
[04:04.000 -> 04:06.140] ac roedd y FIA were trying to time
[04:06.140 -> 04:08.120] when they would be able to get some sort of,
[04:08.120 -> 04:11.160] some slot of racing and they never did.
[04:11.160 -> 04:12.000] And they were, you know,
[04:12.000 -> 04:15.240] toodling around behind the safety car and, you know,
[04:15.240 -> 04:17.680] everything, you know, shit hit the fan where, you know,
[04:17.680 -> 04:20.680] they got their quota of two laps behind the safety car,
[04:20.680 -> 04:23.120] you know, oh, it's now declared a race.
[04:23.120 -> 04:26.360] And, you know, all the Spa fans that were there,
[04:26.360 -> 04:27.840] they didn't get to see a race.
[04:27.840 -> 04:28.920] You know, they paid good money.
[04:28.920 -> 04:30.000] They never got a refund.
[04:30.000 -> 04:30.840] No, did they not?
[04:30.840 -> 04:33.060] No, because the problem is,
[04:33.060 -> 04:35.320] it's not F1 giving them a refund.
[04:35.320 -> 04:36.800] Spa had to give them a refund.
[04:36.800 -> 04:37.640] The tracks.
[04:37.640 -> 04:39.200] The tracks aren't in any position
[04:39.200 -> 04:40.320] to give away that amount of money.
[04:40.320 -> 04:42.280] They just go out of business.
[04:42.280 -> 04:45.240] So it was a really tricky situation because, you know,
[04:45.240 -> 04:47.840] Spa pays a huge amount of money to be on the F1 calendar,
[04:47.840 -> 04:50.720] then they make their money back through ticket sales.
[04:50.720 -> 04:53.520] So yeah, it was really sad to see the amount of Spa fans
[04:53.520 -> 04:56.680] that went there to watch the race, saw nothing.
[04:56.680 -> 04:58.320] And, you know, you kind of think,
[04:58.320 -> 05:00.880] surely they should have got something.
[05:00.880 -> 05:01.720] So yeah, that's why, you know,
[05:01.720 -> 05:04.360] looking at the weather forecast for this weekend,
[05:04.360 -> 05:06.400] there's a little bit of rain on some forecasts.
[05:06.400 -> 05:08.080] I'm like, oh no, not again, please.
[05:08.080 -> 05:09.240] This can't happen again.
[05:09.240 -> 05:11.080] You can't imagine it.
[05:11.080 -> 05:13.720] Spa's very known for having changeable conditions
[05:13.720 -> 05:15.160] and that's why it's such an amazing track.
[05:15.160 -> 05:17.380] You know, firstly, you've got an amazing track.
[05:17.380 -> 05:19.520] It's one of the best ones, like seven kilometers long
[05:19.520 -> 05:22.080] and it's got everything you could possibly want
[05:22.080 -> 05:23.820] in a racetrack, but then also you've got
[05:23.820 -> 05:27.080] changeable conditions and, you and a click of a fingers,
[05:27.080 -> 05:31.320] the whole sort of complexion of the race can change.
[05:31.320 -> 05:32.800] And then there's talk of Spa not being
[05:32.800 -> 05:35.560] on the calendar next year, which is insane.
[05:35.560 -> 05:36.600] What's that all about?
[05:36.600 -> 05:37.480] For what reason?
[05:37.480 -> 05:38.400] I think it's just money.
[05:38.400 -> 05:40.880] It's loads of tracks wanting to sign
[05:40.880 -> 05:44.120] onto the Formula One circus for next year.
[05:44.120 -> 05:46.400] You've got things like South Africa, Kyle Army,
[05:46.400 -> 05:48.120] maen nhw eisiau mynd ymlaen,
[05:48.120 -> 05:49.520] pwyshau Cyler Army,
[05:49.520 -> 05:51.680] dwi ddim yn cael pethau ar eu gynnydd,
[05:51.680 -> 05:55.080] ond mae'n golygu'r cyngherdd
[05:55.080 -> 05:56.800] sydd efallai ddim yn gallu'i gael.
[05:56.800 -> 05:58.200] Ac os gwnaethom nabod Spa,
[05:58.200 -> 06:00.000] dyna'n sioch.
[06:00.000 -> 06:02.400] Mae'n siarad am Monaco hefyd, oes?
[06:02.400 -> 06:04.000] Ie, Monaco, un arall.
[06:04.000 -> 06:06.540] Monaco pêlwch yn fwy i'w Monaco, another one. Monaco pay much less to host
[06:06.540 -> 06:08.880] because of the history around it.
[06:08.880 -> 06:11.700] Now they pay the least out of any circuit
[06:11.700 -> 06:12.960] to be part of the F1 calendar,
[06:12.960 -> 06:13.800] because it's Monaco.
[06:13.800 -> 06:15.280] Do you reckon that might be why it's the easiest
[06:15.280 -> 06:16.120] to get rid of?
[06:16.120 -> 06:16.940] Probably.
[06:16.940 -> 06:17.780] That's so funny though,
[06:17.780 -> 06:20.720] like one of the richest places in the whole of the world
[06:20.720 -> 06:22.680] and they pay fucking nothing.
[06:22.680 -> 06:24.400] They definitely can take Formula One
[06:24.400 -> 06:25.460] to way more places in the world. Well, there's more races next season, we know that. So they can go to different places in the world and they pay fucking nothing. They definitely can take Formula One to way more places in the world.
[06:25.460 -> 06:26.920] Well, there's more races next season, we know that.
[06:26.920 -> 06:28.800] So they can go to different places in the world
[06:28.800 -> 06:29.720] that they've never been.
[06:29.720 -> 06:31.480] The thing about Monaco is that it's just so small
[06:31.480 -> 06:32.520] and the cars are so big now.
[06:32.520 -> 06:34.760] So I can understand why, you know,
[06:34.760 -> 06:36.200] if it's not gonna work out for next year,
[06:36.200 -> 06:38.840] even though we did have a solution and they just built-
[06:38.840 -> 06:39.680] We did make a solution.
[06:39.680 -> 06:42.280] They build half of the track out in the water.
[06:42.280 -> 06:43.680] Yeah, that doesn't sound dangerous at all.
[06:43.680 -> 06:46.680] That sounds unreal. It's a very pit stop solution
[06:46.680 -> 06:48.720] and it's never going to fucking happen.
[06:48.720 -> 06:50.400] We kind of re-planned the track.
[06:50.400 -> 06:51.240] Yeah.
[06:51.240 -> 06:52.080] We figured it out.
[06:52.080 -> 06:52.920] I think we can get it commissioned.
[06:52.920 -> 06:54.040] If there's anyone listening from Monaco
[06:54.040 -> 06:55.480] who needs a little bit of help,
[06:55.480 -> 06:56.320] you know where to come.
[06:56.320 -> 06:57.140] Yeah, for fair.
[06:57.140 -> 06:58.040] Where does it extend out then?
[06:58.040 -> 06:58.860] Where the tunnel is?
[06:58.860 -> 06:59.700] Do you just carry on?
[06:59.700 -> 07:01.120] So it comes out of the tunnel and then it would go,
[07:01.120 -> 07:02.640] you could do it all the way around the water.
[07:02.640 -> 07:06.240] So you could still retain half of the old Monaco track and then you'd have like the old part
[07:06.240 -> 07:07.240] and the new part.
[07:07.240 -> 07:08.240] Okay.
[07:08.240 -> 07:09.240] I think that'd be leg.
[07:09.240 -> 07:11.800] And it would be a bridge that would like a track built over the water that would go out.
[07:11.800 -> 07:14.400] There'd be a massive overtaking area. So it would add a little bit.
[07:14.400 -> 07:17.920] Yeah. And like, it'd be a drawbridge. So like if there are boats coming in and out, the
[07:17.920 -> 07:18.920] cars have got to like jump.
[07:18.920 -> 07:19.920] No, no, the cars have got to stop.
[07:19.920 -> 07:20.920] They've got to jump.
[07:20.920 -> 07:21.920] They've got to stop at a traffic light.
[07:21.920 -> 07:22.920] There's a little boat.
[07:22.920 -> 07:23.920] Wait for the bridge to go up.
[07:23.920 -> 07:24.920] The fisherman's coming back in the middle of a Formula One race.
[07:24.920 -> 07:25.000] The fisherman. coming back in the middle of a Formula 1 race.
[07:25.000 -> 07:26.000] The fishermen.
[07:26.000 -> 07:27.000] Forget safety cars, you've just got deploying bridges.
[07:27.000 -> 07:28.000] That'll spice up the race.
[07:28.000 -> 07:29.000] Bloody hell, how do we think of this shit?
[07:29.000 -> 07:30.000] I don't know.
[07:30.000 -> 07:31.000] I can just imagine you sat there one night, a beer and a hand.
[07:31.000 -> 07:32.000] What if we just redid Monaco?
[07:32.000 -> 07:33.000] It's just like that.
[07:33.000 -> 07:45.100] Literally, us out on that balcony would just be sat there looking at it like,
[07:45.100 -> 07:47.080] can you imagine if like Formula One
[07:47.080 -> 07:48.600] was just motorbikes instead?
[07:48.600 -> 07:51.460] But they had three wheels and two drivers.
[07:51.460 -> 07:53.480] I was thinking motorbikes, that's MotoGP.
[07:53.480 -> 07:54.480] Yeah, well that sounds stupid.
[07:54.480 -> 07:56.700] We're like, does that even exist?
[07:58.160 -> 07:59.000] No, it's great.
[07:59.000 -> 07:59.820] It's all good stuff.
[07:59.820 -> 08:00.660] We're still learning.
[08:00.660 -> 08:01.740] We're still coming up with all the ideas.
[08:01.740 -> 08:04.640] Do you think Mercedes are officially back?
[08:04.640 -> 08:05.480] Do you think that,
[08:05.480 -> 08:07.120] because they're getting a lot of points now
[08:07.120 -> 08:10.200] and I really want to see Hamilton get an eight.
[08:10.200 -> 08:13.600] So I love the thought of Mercedes picking it out of the bag.
[08:13.600 -> 08:15.560] One of the best constructs of all time.
[08:15.560 -> 08:16.380] Do you think they're going to-
[08:16.380 -> 08:17.220] An eight for this year?
[08:17.220 -> 08:18.720] Well, I don't think we'll get it this year,
[08:18.720 -> 08:22.360] but I think, I think Mercedes gave up on this year
[08:22.360 -> 08:23.360] a long time ago.
[08:23.360 -> 08:24.240] Really?
[08:24.240 -> 08:26.480] I don't know how it works, but I've been thinking,
[08:26.480 -> 08:28.160] not gave up, but I think they've like,
[08:28.160 -> 08:29.960] resources are going into next year.
[08:29.960 -> 08:31.320] What does Matt from WTF1 think?
[08:31.320 -> 08:33.400] Well, expert.
[08:33.400 -> 08:35.280] No, it's difficult.
[08:35.280 -> 08:37.240] I think Mercedes have just,
[08:37.240 -> 08:40.200] they've maximized every single race weekend.
[08:40.200 -> 08:42.000] Their reliability is bulletproof.
[08:42.000 -> 08:43.240] You know, they are always there
[08:43.240 -> 08:45.000] when the Ferrari a Red Bull.
[08:45.000 -> 08:48.000] Mae'r ffaith bod Hamilton ar gyfer cwp o podiwmau
[08:48.000 -> 08:50.000] yn ddiddorol yn un car nid yn y cyntaf,
[08:50.000 -> 08:52.000] nid yn y cyntaf,
[08:52.000 -> 08:54.000] nid yn y cyntaf,
[08:54.000 -> 08:56.000] ac rwy'n credu mai hwn yn mynd i fod yn anomal
[08:56.000 -> 08:58.000] ym mis 2022.
[08:58.000 -> 09:00.000] Mae Mercedes yn cael eu cymryd ar y concept o'r car.
[09:00.000 -> 09:02.000] Rwy'n credu y byddwn yn cael problemau'n fwy gyntaf.
[09:02.000 -> 09:04.000] Rydyn ni'n credu,
[09:04.000 -> 09:05.360] mae'r cynnydd yn credu yn y concept hon. Mae'n cynnal gwaith ar y cynnydd I think from 2023 onwards we're in big trouble. I think that genuinely, now they still believe in this concept.
[09:05.360 -> 09:07.360] They're still trying to work their heads around it
[09:07.360 -> 09:09.120] and figure out,
[09:09.120 -> 09:11.680] because they clearly think that that car is fast
[09:11.680 -> 09:13.200] and they just need to unlock that performance.
[09:13.200 -> 09:14.000] That's what I thought, right?
[09:14.000 -> 09:16.720] They haven't made the drastic change to Hamilton's car.
[09:18.080 -> 09:19.920] They must be prepping for next season,
[09:19.920 -> 09:22.880] which obviously that means Hamilton must be here next season.
[09:23.440 -> 09:25.040] And everyone thinks he might go.
[09:25.040 -> 09:26.800] Yeah. What did you think was going to happen?
[09:26.800 -> 09:29.400] He was going to leave and Oscar Piastri goes to Mercedes.
[09:29.400 -> 09:30.240] No, no, no.
[09:30.240 -> 09:31.080] Cover your mouth!
[09:31.080 -> 09:34.480] We've got an important guest of the year in Formula One.
[09:34.480 -> 09:35.320] Shut up!
[09:35.320 -> 09:37.200] Oscar Piastri's going to Mercedes.
[09:37.200 -> 09:40.800] No, okay, I was making a prediction.
[09:40.800 -> 09:42.800] It didn't happen, all right?
[09:42.800 -> 09:46.080] I've heard some, I've heard some, yeah, some guesses. You've seen some shit that we've happen, all right? I've heard some guesses.
[09:46.080 -> 09:47.600] You've seen some shit that we've said, yeah?
[09:47.600 -> 09:48.440] That one's big.
[09:48.440 -> 09:50.560] Yeah, that's big.
[09:50.560 -> 09:52.280] Well, no, I just thought maybe, maybe not.
[09:52.280 -> 09:53.120] Do you know what?
[09:53.120 -> 09:54.320] I rate it.
[09:54.320 -> 09:56.820] I think what I said about Mercedes was spot on
[09:56.820 -> 09:58.080] and Matt's just backed it up.
[09:58.080 -> 10:00.200] Next season, they'll be really good.
[10:00.200 -> 10:01.360] Off you go then.
[10:01.360 -> 10:02.200] Well.
[10:02.200 -> 10:03.040] You can join WTF1.
[10:03.040 -> 10:04.680] I'll do Piston for my own.
[10:04.680 -> 10:05.760] Oh, no, nothing.. Oh no, nothing.
[10:05.760 -> 10:07.100] Oh no, nothing.
[10:07.100 -> 10:10.060] No, yeah, I don't think,
[10:10.060 -> 10:11.720] I don't think Hammond will be getting his eighth this year.
[10:11.720 -> 10:12.560] It looks like,
[10:12.560 -> 10:14.100] it looks like the staff has ran away,
[10:14.100 -> 10:14.940] they're ready to meet.
[10:14.940 -> 10:16.140] Oh, it's over.
[10:16.140 -> 10:16.980] It's over.
[10:16.980 -> 10:19.760] Like we did a championship comeback video,
[10:19.760 -> 10:20.740] maybe a couple of months ago.
[10:20.740 -> 10:22.200] I was looking into, you know,
[10:22.200 -> 10:23.040] what were the,
[10:23.040 -> 10:24.900] what has been the biggest championship comebacks.
[10:24.900 -> 10:29.160] Nothing was more than, I na 34, 37 pwynt.
[10:29.160 -> 10:32.880] A'r un ydym ni'n meddwl oedd Vettel, a gafodd ychydig o cymhau.
[10:32.880 -> 10:36.440] Ond Vestapen fydd yn y gwrthrych hwnnw,
[10:36.440 -> 10:39.960] oherwydd roedd yn fwy o pwyntau i Leclerc ar ddechrau'r seswn,
[10:39.960 -> 10:41.000] a nawr mae'n llwyr 80 pwynt.
[10:41.000 -> 10:43.640] Felly, os unrhyw beth, bydd Vestapen yn gynnal y cymhau o'r ystafell,
[10:43.640 -> 10:46.580] ac yn y cymhau mwyaf o bob tro, and now he's 80 points clear. So if anything, Verstappen's gonna win by a country mile and also be the highest comeback ever
[10:46.580 -> 10:48.520] because he was, I don't even know,
[10:48.520 -> 10:52.320] because Leclerc was 43 points clear after three races
[10:52.320 -> 10:55.480] and that was clear of George Russell, I think it was,
[10:55.480 -> 10:57.000] not even Max Verstappen.
[10:57.000 -> 10:59.060] I think Verstappen was sixth in the championship.
[10:59.060 -> 11:02.800] So it's just Ferrari disaster class, really.
[11:02.800 -> 11:04.820] Like how they've managed to-
[11:04.820 -> 11:05.280] Disaster class, I love that. Yeah, make Verstappen the top of that list and also lose the championship by quite a margin. Mae'n ddiddorol i Ferrari. Mae'n ddiddorol i Ferrari. Mae'n ddiddorol i Ferrari.
[11:05.280 -> 11:07.280] Ie, Ferstappen, ar y top o'r rhan,
[11:07.280 -> 11:09.280] ac mae'n rhaid i'r Llywodraeth gael nidd o'r farchnad.
[11:09.280 -> 11:11.280] Ie, Ferstappen, ar y top o'r rhan, ac mae'n rhaid i'r Llywodraeth gael nidd o'r farchnad.
[11:11.280 -> 11:13.280] A oes Ferrari'n ddiddorol y flwyddyn hwn?
[11:13.280 -> 11:15.280] Ie, mae'n ddiddorol.
[11:15.280 -> 11:17.280] Unwaith nad yw rhywbeth ddiddorol yn digwydd.
[11:17.280 -> 11:19.280] Unwaith nad yw Red Bull yn cael sesion normal o'r ddod i mewn,
[11:19.280 -> 11:21.280] Ferstappen ddim yn gynllunio'r pwdion.
[11:21.280 -> 11:23.280] Ferstappen ddim yn gynllunio'r pwdion.
[11:23.280 -> 11:28.200] Mae Max Ferstappen yn gwybod sut i ddef every single race weekend. Unless he has reliability like we saw at the
[11:28.200 -> 11:32.520] start of the season, it's wrapped up. Ferrari are still tripping over themselves, they've
[11:32.520 -> 11:37.560] still got reliability problems as well. I'm sorry to destroy the hype for the second half
[11:37.560 -> 11:41.000] of the season, but in terms of a championship fight, you've got to be realistic, it's 80
[11:41.000 -> 11:45.760] points, that's three victories and some. If it was one or two, maybe,
[11:45.760 -> 11:48.800] but Ferrari have just kind of crushed every,
[11:48.800 -> 11:50.600] I mean, we even had merchandise.
[11:50.600 -> 11:52.440] It was Ferrari hype train at the start.
[11:52.440 -> 11:54.880] I was wearing this blooming hoodie.
[11:54.880 -> 11:58.120] I was like, oh yeah, Ferrari, hype train, join it.
[11:58.120 -> 12:00.080] That's derailed and gone straight off the mountain.
[12:00.080 -> 12:02.920] No, they're all in a dusty box under the stairs,
[12:02.920 -> 12:04.120] never to be seen again.
[12:04.120 -> 12:05.480] I have not touched that hoodie. I have not touched that hoodie.
[12:05.480 -> 12:06.520] I have not touched that hoodie.
[12:06.520 -> 12:07.360] I'll take one.
[12:07.360 -> 12:08.180] I'll have one.
[12:08.180 -> 12:09.520] I'll wear it proud.
[12:09.520 -> 12:10.360] Maybe next year.
[12:10.360 -> 12:11.440] Maybe next year.
[12:11.440 -> 12:14.520] Yeah, next year, there's gonna be some changes to the grid.
[12:14.520 -> 12:16.220] That's gonna be interesting.
[12:16.220 -> 12:17.960] Do you have any inside information?
[12:18.880 -> 12:20.080] Cause I mean, I do.
[12:20.080 -> 12:22.480] Nothing has been announced.
[12:23.760 -> 12:25.800] No, I mean, obviously there's loads of changes still to come.
[12:25.800 -> 12:28.300] And I think, you know, we've got loads of talk about Haas
[12:28.300 -> 12:31.100] and Mick Schumacher maybe moving on from Haas.
[12:31.100 -> 12:35.000] There's been some murmurs about him going to Alpine and all sorts of stuff.
[12:35.000 -> 12:37.700] Obviously, Piastri, the whole thing with that still yet to be,
[12:37.800 -> 12:38.700] you know, sorted out.
[12:38.700 -> 12:39.700] Where's Danny Rick going?
[12:39.700 -> 12:41.400] Is he even going to be in F1 next year?
[12:41.900 -> 12:42.800] I love Silly Season.
[12:42.800 -> 12:44.200] I think it's really kicked off.
[12:44.200 -> 12:45.280] Has that always been a name? Because I saw it like trending think it's really kicked off. Is that always been a name?
[12:45.280 -> 12:46.920] Cause I saw it like trending on Twitter,
[12:46.920 -> 12:48.800] silly season, is that always the summer break?
[12:48.800 -> 12:51.920] Yeah, it's kind of just when transfer stuff
[12:51.920 -> 12:53.800] just starts kicking off basically.
[12:53.800 -> 12:56.960] That's the kind of the term for it.
[12:56.960 -> 12:58.200] I know it doesn't really make much sense
[12:58.200 -> 13:00.840] and to anyone that doesn't watch Formula One,
[13:00.840 -> 13:01.680] what's the silly season?
[13:01.680 -> 13:02.500] What do you mean?
[13:02.500 -> 13:03.340] What's the season silly?
[13:03.340 -> 13:04.440] Like it doesn't really make much sense.
[13:04.440 -> 13:05.600] It didn't even make sense to me.
[13:05.600 -> 13:06.440] Yeah.
[13:06.440 -> 13:07.280] Yeah.
[13:07.280 -> 13:08.100] Yeah.
[13:08.100 -> 13:09.760] But yeah, no, I'm fascinated.
[13:09.760 -> 13:11.840] And I was hoping for more over the summer breaks.
[13:11.840 -> 13:13.560] It's been a bit dead since Piastri.
[13:13.560 -> 13:14.880] Would now be the time,
[13:14.880 -> 13:17.680] because we do know that stuff can change mid-season as well.
[13:17.680 -> 13:19.840] Would now be the time that they do it, if they were.
[13:19.840 -> 13:21.360] In terms of announcing?
[13:21.360 -> 13:24.120] If people, can people actually move mid-season?
[13:24.120 -> 13:24.940] They can.
[13:24.940 -> 13:25.040] They can.
[13:25.040 -> 13:25.860] They can, yeah.
[13:25.860 -> 13:26.780] So can that be any time?
[13:26.780 -> 13:28.940] Or would that be like in August when they're on a break?
[13:28.940 -> 13:30.560] In terms of physically moving teams,
[13:30.560 -> 13:31.400] is that what you're saying?
[13:31.400 -> 13:32.220] Yeah.
[13:32.220 -> 13:33.420] I mean, something bad would have to happen
[13:33.420 -> 13:36.160] if a driver change was to happen mid season.
[13:36.160 -> 13:37.300] You know, for example,
[13:38.720 -> 13:39.920] was it Kvyat got,
[13:39.920 -> 13:40.760] yeah, yeah, yeah.
[13:40.760 -> 13:42.560] So we had,
[13:42.560 -> 13:45.000] so Kvyat was dropped and Verstappen went in, I think it was after China. Felly Cviat a Vestapen aeth ymlaen,
[13:46.240 -> 13:48.280] dwi'n credu oedd ar ôl China,
[13:48.280 -> 13:50.640] ac yna Vestapen aeth y cyntaf,
[13:50.640 -> 13:53.000] y cyntaf, oherwydd roedd ym Mhaid Cymru 2016
[13:53.000 -> 13:55.160] lle Roseberg a Hamilton oedd yn cysylltu,
[13:55.160 -> 13:58.240] ac yna roedd Vestapen wedi cael ei hyrwyddo i Red Bull,
[13:58.240 -> 14:00.800] ac roedd yn rhaid iddo ffwrddo Danny Rick
[14:00.800 -> 14:02.080] ar gyfer y cyflawn, dwi'n credu.
[14:02.080 -> 14:04.880] Ac ie, felly roedd hynny fel,
[14:04.880 -> 14:27.280] roedd hynny'n rhan o'r casau'n ddifrifol, oher fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan fwyaf o'r rhan f and fourth in the championship. But yeah, it's very rare to see a driver get kicked out mid season unless they're having an absolute stinker.
[14:27.280 -> 14:29.520] So I don't think Kivio was even having a stinker.
[14:29.520 -> 14:31.720] He's just, just rebel a savage.
[14:31.720 -> 14:32.720] It's not meant to just happen.
[14:32.720 -> 14:33.560] And that's it.
[14:33.560 -> 14:36.320] Just quickly, thoughts on Alonso?
[14:36.320 -> 14:37.160] Fab's favorite driver.
[14:37.160 -> 14:39.840] One of the best drivers to ever grace the sport.
[14:39.840 -> 14:43.400] He should have so many more titles than two.
[14:43.400 -> 14:44.240] I was just about to say,
[14:44.240 -> 14:46.040] Fab remind us how many times he's gone,
[14:46.040 -> 14:47.200] you know, for the battle of the day.
[14:47.200 -> 14:48.040] Four, innit?
[14:48.040 -> 14:50.320] In your dreams, maybe.
[14:50.320 -> 14:51.400] Should have been.
[14:51.400 -> 14:53.120] Easily, but you know,
[14:53.120 -> 14:54.760] I swear the man just carries matches
[14:54.760 -> 14:56.040] because every time he goes over a bridge,
[14:56.040 -> 14:57.640] he just literally just goes, yeah, cool.
[14:57.640 -> 15:00.760] Now I'm never going back to that team ever again.
[15:00.760 -> 15:02.000] One of the best drivers ever,
[15:02.000 -> 15:04.000] but has no idea how to manage relations.
[15:04.000 -> 15:05.680] Like as soon as he's done with the team,
[15:05.680 -> 15:07.740] he doesn't just be like, maybe see you later.
[15:07.740 -> 15:09.560] Like Danny Rick may be going back to Alpine,
[15:09.560 -> 15:10.740] they might open it, you know,
[15:10.740 -> 15:12.320] welcoming with loving arms,
[15:12.320 -> 15:15.520] but Alonso is just like, yeah, no, McLaren, boom.
[15:15.520 -> 15:17.760] You know, it's just Alpine, bye.
[15:17.760 -> 15:19.040] He doesn't care.
[15:19.040 -> 15:22.000] And fair enough, that's his personality.
[15:22.000 -> 15:24.680] But at the same time, he should have,
[15:24.680 -> 15:26.320] you know, he could have gone to Mercedes,
[15:26.320 -> 15:28.480] but I mean, it's shoulda, woulda, coulda,
[15:28.480 -> 15:30.040] but yeah, he should have more than two.
[15:30.040 -> 15:31.720] Do you think there's any chance that he could go
[15:31.720 -> 15:33.560] to like one of the front running teams ever again now?
[15:33.560 -> 15:34.400] Is he too old?
[15:34.400 -> 15:35.400] No, he's a bit old, I think.
[15:35.400 -> 15:36.400] Thank you so much.
[15:36.400 -> 15:37.240] He's a bit old.
[15:37.240 -> 15:40.160] Finally, someone has shut down your stupid prediction.
[15:40.160 -> 15:42.800] I thought maybe he'd go to Mercedes and he was so good,
[15:42.800 -> 15:43.960] he'd just be on his own.
[15:43.960 -> 15:46.000] He wouldn't even need a second driver. He'd just win the title for Mercedes was so good. He'd just be on his own. He wouldn't even need a second driver.
[15:46.000 -> 15:46.840] He'd just win the title for Mercedes on his own.
[15:46.840 -> 15:48.320] He'd just drive twice.
[15:48.320 -> 15:50.560] Yeah, I'd say he'd do twice the amount of laps
[15:50.560 -> 15:52.800] as everyone else and still win.
[15:52.800 -> 15:54.800] You are a fan boy, I've long to say that.
[15:54.800 -> 15:55.640] Do you know what?
[15:55.640 -> 15:56.480] I never really knew why.
[15:56.480 -> 15:58.320] And then I realized the first GP that I ever went to,
[15:58.320 -> 16:01.940] Silverstone 2006, that's when, for a start,
[16:01.940 -> 16:04.600] that was the year before Lewis Hamilton joined.
[16:04.600 -> 16:06.440] Yeah. And he came out on the stage afterwards
[16:06.440 -> 16:08.600] and everyone was like, this is the guy
[16:08.600 -> 16:10.780] who's gonna be in Formula One, he's gonna be really good.
[16:10.780 -> 16:14.440] So I saw Hamilton, but Alonso won that race.
[16:14.440 -> 16:16.480] So I think that must just be ingrained
[16:16.480 -> 16:18.180] in the back of my head why I like him so much,
[16:18.180 -> 16:20.400] because he won my first ever race I went to.
[16:20.400 -> 16:21.240] Oh, that's so cool.
[16:21.240 -> 16:23.240] Yeah, I went, my first one was 2007.
[16:23.240 -> 16:24.720] I'm really jealous he went to 2006,
[16:24.720 -> 16:27.400] because that was when Shumi was at Ferrari but yeah I was one year
[16:27.400 -> 16:33.520] too late. Oh my god yeah I can tell you man the cars were so loud back then you
[16:33.520 -> 16:37.960] remember? Yeah yeah. The same in 2007. Yeah vicious. Rip your eardrums out like so
[16:37.960 -> 16:42.960] ridiculously loud. Wow. They've done like demo runs as well don't they sometimes
[16:42.960 -> 16:45.340] and you they just come round you're like like, oh, I can hear them.
[16:45.340 -> 16:47.480] And they're on the other side of the circus.
[16:47.480 -> 16:48.440] Yeah. We had them at Goodwood.
[16:48.440 -> 16:49.480] Wasn't that the last ones?
[16:49.480 -> 16:50.320] Yeah.
[16:50.320 -> 16:51.160] Yeah.
[16:51.160 -> 16:51.980] I like Goodwood.
[16:51.980 -> 16:52.820] We were at Goodwood with you.
[16:52.820 -> 16:53.660] Yeah.
[16:53.660 -> 16:54.480] And Sophie.
[16:54.480 -> 16:55.320] Lots of drinks, lots of food.
[16:55.320 -> 16:57.320] That person brought out all the food we didn't need.
[16:57.320 -> 16:58.160] You remember?
[16:58.160 -> 16:59.080] Yeah.
[16:59.080 -> 17:00.320] We ordered one round of food
[17:00.320 -> 17:01.760] and got about seven rounds of food.
[17:01.760 -> 17:04.200] It took 45 minutes to get anything.
[17:04.200 -> 17:06.200] And then they brought out the entire kitchen.
[17:06.200 -> 17:08.080] The food took so long to come.
[17:08.080 -> 17:10.240] Matt was like, I ain't have none of this.
[17:10.240 -> 17:12.160] Right, wait, where's the food?
[17:12.160 -> 17:14.880] So I was in there cooking it myself, like get out.
[17:15.960 -> 17:17.880] That was the first time I actually probably met you.
[17:17.880 -> 17:19.120] Yeah, it was, yeah.
[17:19.120 -> 17:19.960] Yeah, it was cool, man.
[17:19.960 -> 17:22.040] That was cool, we got to go in the Bentley and-
[17:22.040 -> 17:22.960] Yeah, go up the hill.
[17:22.960 -> 17:23.880] Sorry, it was the Rolls, wasn't it?
[17:23.880 -> 17:26.440] Yeah, the Rolls. Yeah, that was, we didn't even know
[17:26.440 -> 17:27.880] if we were gonna go up the hill, did we, at one point?
[17:27.880 -> 17:29.920] And then, they were like, yeah, get in the Rolls!
[17:29.920 -> 17:31.680] And he sent it as well, didn't he?
[17:31.680 -> 17:33.920] He sent it, I'm breaking it.
[17:33.920 -> 17:35.000] And it was an open top, wasn't it?
[17:35.000 -> 17:37.120] So I was like, pfft.
[17:37.120 -> 17:38.480] It wasn't my most glamorous moment,
[17:38.480 -> 17:40.520] my hair was like that the whole time.
[17:40.520 -> 17:41.960] And you got in the Ferrari, which was sick.
[17:41.960 -> 17:43.040] Yeah, I went in Ferrari.
[17:43.040 -> 17:44.040] Ferrari Roma.
[17:44.040 -> 17:44.880] It was good.
[17:44.880 -> 17:45.740] It was lovely, it was good. Then you swapped round, didn't you? Yeah. Then you got to go in and he, which is sick. Yeah, I went in Ferrari. Ferrari Roma. It was good. It was lovely, it was good.
[17:45.740 -> 17:46.580] And you swapped round, didn't you?
[17:46.580 -> 17:47.420] Yeah.
[17:47.420 -> 17:49.080] And he was a bit crazy as well,
[17:49.080 -> 17:50.160] when he went for it.
[17:50.160 -> 17:51.000] Yeah, he,
[17:51.000 -> 17:54.100] because they're not supposed to go for it on the lap back.
[17:54.100 -> 17:54.940] Yeah.
[17:54.940 -> 17:55.760] But he absolutely flew.
[17:55.760 -> 17:56.600] If any safety officials are watching,
[17:56.600 -> 17:57.440] they did not send it.
[17:57.440 -> 17:58.260] Oh yeah, no, no, he went for it.
[17:58.260 -> 17:59.100] 30 miles an hour.
[17:59.100 -> 17:59.940] 32 at most.
[17:59.940 -> 18:01.440] But that was sick.
[18:01.440 -> 18:02.280] And then we met you,
[18:02.280 -> 18:03.920] and we saw you again at Silverstone,
[18:03.920 -> 18:04.760] which is cool.
[18:04.760 -> 18:05.560] Yeah, that was awesome. Mingling around. It was a good race to be at, I think. Yeah. And then we met you, and we saw you again at Silverstone, which was cool. Yeah, that was awesome.
[18:05.560 -> 18:07.560] Mingling around, it was a good race to be at, I think.
[18:07.560 -> 18:08.400] Yeah.
[18:08.400 -> 18:10.100] With like Zoe's crash and obviously Carlos winning,
[18:10.100 -> 18:11.320] good for Ferrari, everything else.
[18:11.320 -> 18:12.680] Silverstone was a sick race.
[18:12.680 -> 18:14.640] Yeah, it's one of my favorite weekends just in general.
[18:14.640 -> 18:15.600] Like Silverstone's just, you know,
[18:15.600 -> 18:18.280] it's got an awesome buzz and it's sold out.
[18:18.280 -> 18:21.200] And just like, you got so many F1 fans around you.
[18:21.200 -> 18:22.600] You know, when I was growing up,
[18:22.600 -> 18:24.240] couldn't find an F1 fan to save my life.
[18:24.240 -> 18:25.640] Like none of my friends watched. Yeah. It was very much like, you know, you're a bit of a, you, you know, when I was growing up, couldn't find an F1 fan to save my life. Like none of my friends watched.
[18:25.640 -> 18:27.120] You know, it was very much like, you know,
[18:27.120 -> 18:28.760] you're a bit of a, oh, you like Formula,
[18:28.760 -> 18:31.440] oh, Formula, go around in circles.
[18:31.440 -> 18:33.360] Whereas now, you know, some of your friends are popping up,
[18:33.360 -> 18:35.160] oh yeah, I just, I was trying to survive,
[18:35.160 -> 18:36.000] I'm now watching.
[18:36.000 -> 18:38.840] Don't come, when I was 11,
[18:38.840 -> 18:39.960] I was trying to talk to you about it
[18:39.960 -> 18:42.000] and you didn't want to know anything.
[18:42.000 -> 18:43.920] So yeah, it's mad how it's all changed.
[18:43.920 -> 18:45.060] Yeah, everyone's come running out,
[18:45.060 -> 18:46.280] same with our friendship group.
[18:46.280 -> 18:47.480] Everyone's getting into it.
[18:47.480 -> 18:48.320] Yeah.
[18:48.320 -> 18:49.640] Is there any drivers?
[18:49.640 -> 18:50.860] Cause obviously it looks like,
[18:50.860 -> 18:52.240] let's just say this does happen.
[18:52.240 -> 18:54.160] Let's just say Piastri does go into McLaren
[18:54.160 -> 18:56.000] and let's just say Ricciardo does go Alpine.
[18:56.000 -> 18:57.480] Is there any drivers or anyone else
[18:57.480 -> 18:59.320] that you think we could see next year
[18:59.320 -> 19:02.720] that we don't like, who we're not thinking of?
[19:02.720 -> 19:04.300] Cause I know there's drivers on the grid
[19:04.300 -> 19:06.160] from all the stuff I've seen you guys post that have contracts expiring and stuff like that. ddweud y gwir ddim yn teimlo'r rhai rydyn ni ddim yn teimlo. Dwi'n gwybod bod dyrfoddwyr ar y grid, o'r pethau rydw i wedi gweld chi'n gosod,
[19:06.160 -> 19:07.680] sydd wedi cael ymdrechion yn arwain,
[19:07.680 -> 19:08.600] a pethau fel hynny.
[19:08.600 -> 19:10.120] Felly dwi'n meddwl y bydd yna unrhyw enwau
[19:10.120 -> 19:11.640] rydyn ni ddim yn deimlo
[19:11.640 -> 19:13.320] a allai ddod i mewn.
[19:13.320 -> 19:14.800] Dwi ddim yn credu bod yna dynion
[19:14.800 -> 19:15.680] o'r sgwrs,
[19:15.680 -> 19:16.240] er enghraifft,
[19:16.240 -> 19:17.520] sy'n gynnal Formula 2.
[19:17.520 -> 19:19.400] Ac nid yw hwnna'n llai o hyfforddi
[19:19.400 -> 19:20.160] ar y grid hwn,
[19:20.160 -> 19:22.560] achos rhai ohonyn nhw yn dod o
[19:22.560 -> 19:24.240] ychydig blynedd neu beth bynnag.
[19:24.240 -> 19:29.840] Ac nid yw'n bwysorol iawn os yw ff2-rwythwyr wedi bod yn F2 i ddwy neu tri mlynedd.
[19:29.840 -> 19:33.280] Yn aml, pan fyddant yn rhagorio, yn debyg, yn ganiatáu, yw pan fyddwch chi'n dweud,
[19:33.280 -> 19:36.800] iawn, Piastri, er enghraifft, dynnu ff1.
[19:36.800 -> 19:41.520] Dwi'n credu bod Dragovic yn cael cyfle mawr i ddod â Haas,
[19:41.520 -> 19:44.560] yn y blynyddoedd, os yw ymddiriedolaethau'n cael eu llwyr o'r ff1,
[19:44.560 -> 19:46.960] ac os ydyn nhw eisiau drifo ff1, dydynt ddim yn rhaid iddyn nhw gael pwynt. that may be getting Haas, you know, potentially if, you know, relations fall down with Mick and they want a young driver that they don't have to pay too much.
[19:46.960 -> 19:50.960] Do you think Mick would leave though? Because Haas is really like a good car at the moment.
[19:51.600 -> 19:55.920] I think it's more just the relationship. I just, it seems like it's breaking down a little bit
[19:55.920 -> 19:57.680] between Mick and Haas. Oh really?
[19:58.400 -> 20:02.800] So yeah, and you know, these murmurs that are going on kind of confirm that where,
[20:02.800 -> 20:07.320] you know, I think Haas came out and, they've kind of stalled talks with Mick and,
[20:07.320 -> 20:08.160] and things like that.
[20:08.160 -> 20:09.240] So it's a shame really,
[20:09.240 -> 20:11.360] cause I want Mick to lock down a seat.
[20:11.360 -> 20:13.280] Cause obviously being a Michael Schumacher fan boy,
[20:13.280 -> 20:14.520] I want Mick to be in Formula One
[20:14.520 -> 20:16.840] and I want to see him grow and become a better driver.
[20:16.840 -> 20:19.200] There's been moments where there's been a bit of potential,
[20:19.200 -> 20:20.160] but then there's also been moments
[20:20.160 -> 20:22.120] where it's been absolutely trash.
[20:22.120 -> 20:23.440] And you're going, come on, Mick,
[20:23.440 -> 20:25.680] like you've got the genes here, man.
[20:25.680 -> 20:27.360] Our favorite bit on that interview the other day
[20:27.360 -> 20:30.000] where you saw a bit of Michael Schumacher,
[20:30.000 -> 20:31.280] he was angry, wasn't he?
[20:31.280 -> 20:32.120] What was it so?
[20:32.120 -> 20:32.960] After the race, he was angry.
[20:32.960 -> 20:34.400] Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that one.
[20:34.400 -> 20:36.440] I looked at him and I was just like, oh my God.
[20:36.440 -> 20:37.400] Oh, just like his old man.
[20:37.400 -> 20:38.840] Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
[20:38.840 -> 20:40.480] After the race when he did that post-race interview.
[20:40.480 -> 20:42.080] In the Schumacher film.
[20:42.080 -> 20:42.920] What?
[20:42.920 -> 20:44.240] No, after his race.
[20:44.240 -> 20:45.160] You're talking about Mick, yeah, yeah, sorry.
[20:45.160 -> 20:46.920] I think it was the race when he had points
[20:46.920 -> 20:48.600] and then he lost the points.
[20:48.600 -> 20:49.440] Yeah.
[20:49.440 -> 20:50.260] Just before he made it.
[20:50.260 -> 20:51.120] He got screwed over or something.
[20:51.120 -> 20:52.920] And yeah, I remember he got like really sassy
[20:52.920 -> 20:53.880] because before.
[20:53.880 -> 20:54.720] And he'd never seen it.
[20:54.720 -> 20:56.400] He'd have like team radios where, you know,
[20:56.400 -> 20:58.440] he'd swear and go, oh, sorry.
[20:58.440 -> 20:59.840] Sorry guys, I didn't mean that.
[20:59.840 -> 21:02.520] Or, you know, be so like really timid.
[21:02.520 -> 21:04.480] And then he had that one post-race interview,
[21:04.480 -> 21:05.240] I can't remember which one it was. And he was like, I'm fuming. Yeah. And then the has can get in the bin, you know, be so like really timid. And then you had that one post-race interview, I can't remember which one it was,
[21:05.240 -> 21:06.680] and he was like, I'm fuming.
[21:06.680 -> 21:07.520] Yeah.
[21:07.520 -> 21:08.680] And then I'll hask and get in the bin, you know,
[21:08.680 -> 21:10.320] and then they were, he was properly going for it.
[21:10.320 -> 21:12.280] And like, yes, that's what we need.
[21:12.280 -> 21:13.360] A bit of that, Mick.
[21:13.360 -> 21:16.280] I can't really see a grid without him, to be honest.
[21:16.280 -> 21:17.680] Like, I feel like it'd be a bit of sacrilege
[21:17.680 -> 21:18.840] if he just wasn't there,
[21:18.840 -> 21:20.360] even though he's not doing amazingly well.
[21:20.360 -> 21:22.280] Like, I want to see that Schumacher name on the grid.
[21:22.280 -> 21:24.360] Oh, he's doing great, he's got points twice this season.
[21:24.360 -> 21:26.000] Exactly, and you need to get that Schumacher tattoo.
[21:26.000 -> 21:29.000] I am getting the Schumacher tattoo. The designer's doing it right now.
[21:29.000 -> 21:31.000] Good. Where are you going to get it done?
[21:31.000 -> 21:33.000] Don't tell the people that yet.
[21:33.000 -> 21:34.000] Oh, where are you getting it done?
[21:34.000 -> 21:35.000] Yeah, it's a secret.
[21:35.000 -> 21:36.000] It's disgusting.
[21:36.000 -> 21:40.000] It's far from pre-predictions. Let's do it right now.
[21:40.000 -> 21:41.000] All right, Matt goes first.
[21:41.000 -> 21:42.000] Oh God.
[21:42.000 -> 21:43.000] We need a podium.
[21:43.000 -> 21:44.000] Podium prediction.
[21:44.000 -> 21:45.400] Oh God. All right.
[21:45.400 -> 21:46.220] Okay.
[21:46.220 -> 21:47.060] Okay.
[21:47.060 -> 21:47.900] I'm just going to do it.
[21:47.900 -> 21:48.720] Okay.
[21:48.720 -> 21:49.560] Leclerc signs Verstappen.
[21:49.560 -> 21:50.400] Okay.
[21:50.400 -> 21:51.220] The second Ferrari one.
[21:51.220 -> 21:52.060] Are you saying like you mean it?
[21:52.060 -> 21:52.900] Come on.
[21:52.900 -> 21:53.720] Are you drunk?
[21:53.720 -> 21:54.560] Yeah.
[21:54.560 -> 21:57.520] No, this is just wishful thinking at this rate.
[21:57.520 -> 21:58.360] It really is.
[21:58.360 -> 22:01.920] But no, realistically, you know,
[22:01.920 -> 22:03.920] I still think Verstappen will probably win.
[22:03.920 -> 22:06.360] And I think there'll be a Mercedes definitely on the podium
[22:06.360 -> 22:09.080] and Leclerc will get screwed over again and finish 12th.
[22:09.080 -> 22:10.600] Okay, fair enough.
[22:10.600 -> 22:12.480] You're gonna put Verstappen first, no joke?
[22:12.480 -> 22:13.320] No, I won't.
[22:13.320 -> 22:14.560] I'm gonna put Verstappen first.
[22:14.560 -> 22:16.840] I think that makes the most sense.
[22:16.840 -> 22:18.720] I think August, they've had a bit of time.
[22:18.720 -> 22:21.440] The drivers have, you know, Lewis Hamilton has gone back
[22:21.440 -> 22:24.640] to like Africa and he's centered and won with himself
[22:24.640 -> 22:25.120] and the world and he's gonna come back fighting. I see Lewis Hamilton coming gone back to Africa and he's centred and won with himself and the world
[22:25.120 -> 22:26.480] and he's gonna come back fighting.
[22:26.480 -> 22:28.400] I see Lewis Hamilton coming in second.
[22:28.400 -> 22:31.120] Verstappen, Hamilton, Leclerc.
[22:31.120 -> 22:32.000] That's what I'm going with.
[22:32.000 -> 22:33.020] I like it.
[22:33.020 -> 22:34.520] I actually was gonna do the same as you
[22:34.520 -> 22:36.040] but now I'm gonna change.
[22:36.040 -> 22:37.400] Cause I can't have the same.
[22:37.400 -> 22:38.240] No.
[22:38.240 -> 22:39.560] So I'm gonna go Verstappen to win.
[22:41.360 -> 22:43.480] Lewis, no, no, no, Verstappen to win,
[22:43.480 -> 22:45.900] Leclerc second, Hamilton third.
[22:45.900 -> 22:46.740] That works for me.
[22:46.740 -> 22:47.680] That's a solid prediction.
[22:47.680 -> 22:49.280] I mean, Hamilton has been on the podium
[22:49.280 -> 22:50.840] last four or five races, so.
[22:50.840 -> 22:53.120] Yeah, unfortunately I took Russell,
[22:53.120 -> 22:54.280] no, who did I take out?
[22:54.280 -> 22:55.760] I would change my F1 fantasy team
[22:55.760 -> 22:57.520] right before these people started doing well
[22:57.520 -> 22:58.400] and I've given up.
[22:58.400 -> 23:00.320] I am so bad with those fantasy things.
[23:00.320 -> 23:02.080] I do it for the start of the season and never look at it.
[23:02.080 -> 23:03.280] I'm doing all right, I'm doing all right.
[23:03.280 -> 23:04.680] Because you've got more than one team, mate.
[23:04.680 -> 23:05.340] You're only meant to have one.
[23:05.340 -> 23:07.160] No, I've got three teams,
[23:07.160 -> 23:09.780] but they're spread across different leagues.
[23:09.780 -> 23:10.620] And one of them,
[23:10.620 -> 23:11.460] They're all in mine.
[23:11.460 -> 23:14.180] I am like a hundredth out of like 9,000.
[23:14.180 -> 23:15.020] Wow.
[23:15.020 -> 23:16.780] And I haven't changed my team once.
[23:16.780 -> 23:17.620] I need to fact check that.
[23:17.620 -> 23:18.440] Okay.
[23:18.440 -> 23:19.280] Let me just check that and get back to you guys.
[23:19.280 -> 23:21.100] 100,000 views.
[23:21.100 -> 23:23.760] I've used no speed drivers, whatever you want to call it.
[23:23.760 -> 23:24.600] If you're a hundredth,
[23:24.600 -> 23:26.480] you've definitely not backed Ferrari in that team then,
[23:26.480 -> 23:27.320] have you?
[23:27.320 -> 23:28.160] No.
[23:28.160 -> 23:28.980] Have we not?
[23:28.980 -> 23:29.820] No.
[23:29.820 -> 23:32.680] I thought you had all Ferrari.
[23:32.680 -> 23:34.080] I don't know, I'll let you guys talk for a minute.
[23:34.080 -> 23:35.080] You're never gonna be able to get that out.
[23:35.080 -> 23:36.000] Let me log in.
[23:36.000 -> 23:37.120] How's it gonna end the podcast
[23:37.120 -> 23:38.680] when you're sat trying to get your vlogging details?
[23:38.680 -> 23:40.640] The fans need to know what's going on
[23:40.640 -> 23:41.960] with the F1 fantasy world.
[23:41.960 -> 23:43.720] So you're doing it this year?
[23:43.720 -> 23:45.560] I haven't checked it since round one.
[23:45.560 -> 23:47.800] It's probably a good idea because I had Ferrari in my team.
[23:47.800 -> 23:49.280] Do you have like a WTF1 group?
[23:49.280 -> 23:50.120] You all do it?
[23:50.120 -> 23:53.200] We did launch something, but as I say,
[23:53.200 -> 23:54.720] I am so terrible at keeping up with it
[23:54.720 -> 23:55.560] that I just forget.
[23:55.560 -> 23:56.880] And then I look and I'm like,
[23:56.880 -> 23:57.760] oh, I'm a millionth.
[23:57.760 -> 23:58.800] Okay.
[23:58.800 -> 24:00.160] What's the story behind WTF1?
[24:00.160 -> 24:02.160] How did it get named that?
[24:02.160 -> 24:04.120] Because I didn't even know what it meant first.
[24:04.120 -> 24:07.000] I didn't realize it meant like, it's what the formula one, right?
[24:07.000 -> 24:09.000] No, no, no.
[24:09.000 -> 24:10.000] No, no, no.
[24:10.000 -> 24:13.000] I love how that's the two that people completely just,
[24:13.000 -> 24:14.000] that's what it's called.
[24:14.000 -> 24:15.000] I know what it is.
[24:15.000 -> 24:16.000] Go on.
[24:16.000 -> 24:17.000] Cause you fucking told us.
[24:17.000 -> 24:19.000] You told me as well, I was hammered at Grimmory.
[24:19.000 -> 24:20.000] Memory.
[24:20.000 -> 24:23.000] Oh, it's buffering.
[24:23.000 -> 24:24.000] Give me the first word.
[24:24.000 -> 24:25.000] WTF1. Oh, it's going to, give me the first one.
[24:25.580 -> 24:26.480] Oh, it's going to give it away.
[24:26.480 -> 24:27.320] Okay.
[24:27.320 -> 24:28.160] It's embarrassing.
[24:28.160 -> 24:28.980] We should know this about our guests.
[24:28.980 -> 24:31.400] No, I remember you telling me that a lot of late nights.
[24:31.400 -> 24:32.240] This is really bad.
[24:32.240 -> 24:34.040] What?
[24:34.040 -> 24:35.800] Who's the fastest one?
[24:35.800 -> 24:36.640] There you go.
[24:36.640 -> 24:37.460] Yeah!
[24:37.460 -> 24:38.300] He's done it.
[24:38.300 -> 24:43.300] We got it at the end of the episode.
[24:44.000 -> 24:44.840] Right.
[24:44.840 -> 24:48.240] Single entry. I'm 687th out of 14,000.
[24:48.240 -> 24:50.600] Okay, it's not quite the ratio you sold us.
[24:50.600 -> 24:52.920] It's not, I think it might be better.
[24:52.920 -> 24:54.160] No, much worse.
[24:54.160 -> 24:57.040] My team is called.
[24:57.040 -> 24:58.560] Who've you got in it?
[24:58.560 -> 24:59.800] My heart will grow, John.
[24:59.800 -> 25:00.640] That's it.
[25:00.640 -> 25:02.800] That's pretty good.
[25:02.800 -> 25:05.000] I actually don't know, I can't find it.
[25:05.000 -> 25:06.000] Oh, well, okay.
[25:06.000 -> 25:08.000] Anyway, thanks for tuning in to the FitzDog podcast.
[25:08.000 -> 25:10.000] Matt, thank you very much for joining us.
[25:10.000 -> 25:11.000] It's been great to talk to you.
[25:11.000 -> 25:12.000] It's been awesome.
[25:12.000 -> 25:15.000] Hopefully Ferrari have a better half to the season now.
[25:15.000 -> 25:17.000] Can't wait to see the rest of your videos.
[25:17.000 -> 25:19.000] We learn from all of them.
[25:19.000 -> 25:20.000] Keep up the great work.
[25:20.000 -> 25:24.000] You know, I love going to bed and I'll go on YouTube
[25:24.000 -> 25:26.240] and your voice is, you know, a lot of the time
[25:26.240 -> 25:28.320] the last voice I hear before I fall asleep.
[25:28.320 -> 25:29.320] It's like white noise.
[25:29.320 -> 25:30.160] It really is.
[25:30.160 -> 25:30.980] Wow, really?
[25:30.980 -> 25:31.820] That boring content.
[25:31.820 -> 25:32.660] White noise.
[25:32.660 -> 25:34.680] I need something really dull.
[25:34.680 -> 25:36.560] There we go, Matt's voice.
[25:36.560 -> 25:37.960] I didn't mean white noise.
[25:37.960 -> 25:40.280] Yeah, some of my voice is white noise.
[25:40.280 -> 25:42.280] Get it out of my ear.
[25:42.280 -> 25:45.200] Shut up, it's horrible!
[25:45.200 -> 25:46.160] Thanks for joining us, brother.
