[00:00.000 -> 00:19.840] Hello everybody and welcome back to the Sky Sports F1 podcast feed and welcome back to
[00:19.840 -> 00:24.040] Ted's PodBook, which took a break at the Spanish Grand Prix because I wasn't there but I'm
[00:24.040 -> 00:26.800] back in Montreal and we're here for the Canadian Grand Prix.
[00:26.800 -> 00:30.620] Talking to you just from outside our hotel we're staying on Rue Sherbrooke
[00:30.620 -> 00:36.640] West. To the north of us is the actual Mont-Real, gives this town its name, the city
[00:36.640 -> 00:40.620] it's named Mont-Real and the delights of the Boulevard Saint-Laurent and to the
[00:40.620 -> 00:44.880] south of us is the Place des Artistes where there is a music festival taking
[00:44.880 -> 00:46.520] place where we had a look at yesterday
[00:47.380 -> 00:54.540] Which is featuring all French Canadian and Quebecois music acts. So as I said to Pierre Gasly today
[00:55.200 -> 00:58.780] Bonjour Pierre and as they say in Quebec bonjour
[00:59.300 -> 01:04.460] So I it's one thing actually you do notice before we get on to what's been happening at the circuit
[01:04.740 -> 01:06.800] As I record it today Thursday evening
[01:06.920 -> 01:11.480] If you're in Europe, you're probably listening to this Friday morning because of the time difference
[01:12.120 -> 01:19.520] But one thing I have noticed is that there are very very many more people defaulting to French here in Montreal
[01:20.800 -> 01:25.880] Compared to previous years now, of course the the rule, the law is, I believe,
[01:25.880 -> 01:28.360] is that everything has to be in both languages,
[01:28.360 -> 01:30.360] that signs and menus and people speaking,
[01:30.360 -> 01:31.240] I don't know if people are speaking,
[01:31.240 -> 01:35.480] but things have to be officially in French and in English.
[01:35.480 -> 01:38.360] But it feels to me, a couple of the shops I've been to,
[01:38.360 -> 01:40.240] places I've called up on the phone,
[01:40.240 -> 01:42.280] most places, or a lot of places,
[01:42.280 -> 01:43.960] more places, let's start that again,
[01:43.960 -> 01:47.040] more places than I'm used to have been speaking French
[01:47.400 -> 01:49.400] definitely as a default and
[01:49.480 -> 01:55.380] Then wanting to continue to speak French rather than immediately saying oh, you know, let's go back into into English
[01:55.380 -> 01:55.720] I don't know
[01:55.720 -> 02:00.060] Maybe if you're from Montreal if you're a Quebecer or a Montrealer
[02:00.060 -> 02:03.600] Please send me a text and let me know whether that's the case or not
[02:03.600 -> 02:05.360] But what we have found
[02:11.200 -> 02:15.920] is a city ready again to celebrate Formula One and the Grand Prix. It's a sellout. I don't think you can go to many circuits around the world these days with the popularity of Formula One
[02:15.920 -> 02:20.720] and not be sold out. Everybody is coming into the city from all over Canada, from the US
[02:21.360 -> 02:29.440] as well. It might be a bit of a more accessible accessible race and indeed from Europe and the UK. So much so as that I understand from my friends at
[02:29.440 -> 02:33.520] Air Canada that they have taken off the Boeing 787s
[02:33.520 -> 02:37.760] they've taken off the usual Boeing 787s that service London to Montreal,
[02:37.760 -> 02:43.400] Montreal's Dorval Airport, and replaced them for this week with the larger
[02:43.400 -> 02:46.000] capacity 777-300ERs,
[02:46.000 -> 02:50.000] which such is the demand for tickets from London to Montreal.
[02:50.000 -> 02:53.500] So yeah, anyway, we're all set for the Canadian weekend,
[02:53.500 -> 02:56.000] and it's been an interesting day at the track.
[02:56.000 -> 02:58.500] Track looking good, as it always does.
[02:58.500 -> 03:02.500] There was a rain shower around sort of after lunch, 2-3pm,
[03:02.500 -> 03:04.500] that lasted until about 5pm.
[03:04.500 -> 03:05.680] Nothing serious but
[03:05.680 -> 03:11.560] maybe a sign of inclement weather to come. We did see a lot of groundhogs and
[03:11.560 -> 03:16.280] I'll give you a little groundhog factoid at the end of the pod book so stay tuned
[03:16.280 -> 03:22.560] for that and watch out for a special who, why, where, what, when and how on the
[03:22.560 -> 03:27.000] groundhogs and the marmots which is going out piece that I've been making which is going out
[03:27.000 -> 03:31.640] In the f1 show which is between free practice one and free practice two Friday
[03:31.640 -> 03:35.540] I would say tomorrow because for me it's tomorrow, but if you're listening, it's probably later today
[03:35.680 -> 03:42.160] But what has been going on at the track? Well Red Bull let's start with them because they're first in the constructors
[03:42.160 -> 03:50.000] They are searching they are looking for they are hoping to achieve their 100th Grand Prix win as a
[03:50.000 -> 03:56.600] constructor. And Max Verstappen was kind of on the, you know, look, you know, when
[03:56.600 -> 04:02.400] he's the same tack as when he goes to a race as he has the last couple of, or the
[04:02.400 -> 04:07.840] last year, primed to win the championship, he said more or less the
[04:07.840 -> 04:11.120] same thing. He said, look, if we win it here, the first opportunity we get to, it would
[04:11.120 -> 04:16.280] be nice but we're not going to be sweating about it too much if we don't. Now, of course,
[04:16.280 -> 04:20.240] the difference is that Red Bull have got two chances to win it in Sergio Perez and Max
[04:20.240 -> 04:22.840] Verstappen. If something happens to Max Verstappen, you'd expect with the car advantage they've
[04:22.840 -> 04:27.440] got, Sergio Perez to win the Grand Prix. But I don't know whether Red Bull are
[04:27.440 -> 04:32.080] thinking, if we just get there too soon, you might be able to hear some of the buses in
[04:32.080 -> 04:38.480] the background, that was the 390, 39, going down Rue Sherbrooke West. I don't know whether
[04:38.480 -> 04:41.600] Red Bull are thinking, look, let's not talk it up too much because that'll just jinx the
[04:41.600 -> 04:48.400] whole thing. They'd be probably wise to do that and is there any kind of celebratory 100 Grand Prix
[04:48.400 -> 04:52.060] wins flag or t-shirt? Actually it was the number 24 bus, sorry.
[04:52.060 -> 04:55.780] The other number 24 is just past me. Is there somewhere in a cardboard box
[04:55.780 -> 04:59.540] somewhere that Red Bull don't want to say about? Well I don't know, I would doubt
[04:59.540 -> 05:02.900] it because I don't think they tend to celebrate championships not just single
[05:02.900 -> 05:09.120] wins but it would be an amazing achievement, wouldn't it, for Red Bull, who only started, of course,
[05:09.120 -> 05:14.680] back 2004-2005, for them already to have had 100 Grand Prix wins.
[05:14.680 -> 05:20.560] Now you might say, well, Lewis Hamilton has won 100 Grand Prix by himself, rather than
[05:20.560 -> 05:26.140] a team, but he was, of course, was around was around since well he's around in a
[05:26.140 -> 05:33.200] very dominant car for those years and well no I'm not doing down the
[05:33.200 -> 05:36.360] achievement of Lewis Hamilton at all actually it's just something you might
[05:36.360 -> 05:44.780] you might observe. As for Sergio Perez at Red Bull he was I didn't ask him
[05:44.780 -> 05:46.320] directly because he'd already been
[05:46.320 -> 05:51.080] asked and answered what he said to Christian Orne's post Spanish Grand Prix.
[05:51.080 -> 05:56.240] Well I think you know it'll help him being so far off max in the Drivers
[05:56.240 -> 06:00.680] Championship because it will take some of the pressure off him. But he did say
[06:00.680 -> 06:07.200] in the press conference I kind of reject that. I didn't really put any more pressure on myself than I would normally.
[06:07.600 -> 06:08.880] It's going to be the same here.
[06:08.880 -> 06:13.200] And I'm just here to have a big reset and to go for the win once again.
[06:13.200 -> 06:14.760] I spoke to him. He's got it wearing a special
[06:16.000 -> 06:16.760] it's not leopard.
[06:18.200 -> 06:22.080] Jaguar, tiger, maybe is a leopard print hat
[06:22.640 -> 06:25.920] in deference to the many Mexican fans.
[06:25.920 -> 06:30.600] Apparently it's the largest Mexican population outside Mexico in Montreal,
[06:30.600 -> 06:31.880] which I didn't know. Interesting fact.
[06:32.560 -> 06:37.080] But yeah, he's in determined mood, I think, Sergio Perez, to at least have a
[06:37.080 -> 06:38.400] better weekend than Spain.
[06:38.840 -> 06:43.480] If that means being able to meet to beat Max Verstappen, we will see, but we'll
[06:43.480 -> 06:45.080] see how that goes.
[06:45.080 -> 06:49.400] But he certainly wants to start afresh.
[06:49.400 -> 06:58.680] Talking of that, it was an interesting day at Ferrari because they had the newly minted,
[06:58.680 -> 07:03.640] if you can be a newly minted Le Mans winner, Antonio Giovinazzi at the circuit.
[07:03.640 -> 07:10.280] Well done to James Scalardi and Alessandro Pierre Guidi as well who also won the Le Mans 24-hour with
[07:10.280 -> 07:16.680] Ferrari. And I sort of suggested, I said to Carlos Sainz, you know, congratulations
[07:16.680 -> 07:21.320] has it, how is it having him around there? He said look it's great for Antonio, you
[07:21.320 -> 07:25.880] know, we're normally used to see him here without a Formula One drive doing our simulator stuff
[07:25.880 -> 07:31.480] So it's nice that he's able to come here as a Le Mans winner and it's lifted the spirit. Same for Charles Leclerc
[07:32.000 -> 07:37.120] Charles Leclerc talking, just developing what he said at Le Mans at the time, last weekend
[07:37.360 -> 07:41.640] Saying that he would like one day like to have a go actually driving in there
[07:41.640 -> 07:50.920] and I asked, had he asked Nico Hulkenberg, Fernando Alonso or, who was the third driver who's won Le Mans?
[07:50.920 -> 07:55.280] Well, Giovanniazzi, what it's like and how to sort of, you know, unlock the key to a
[07:55.280 -> 07:56.280] Le Mans win.
[07:56.280 -> 07:59.400] He said he hasn't, but he probably will.
[07:59.400 -> 08:06.920] What I didn't ask was, well, what I asked Sainainz was is there any applicable kind of technology
[08:06.920 -> 08:12.800] that the Ferrari hypercar program can share with the F1 car program or is it
[08:12.800 -> 08:19.200] just good vibes effectively and he said yes it is just good vibes. So with the
[08:19.200 -> 08:27.000] cynics amongst you saying well they could start with sharing their strategy tips with the F1 race team.
[08:27.000 -> 08:34.780] Accepted, I think it is just good vibes and a support and knowing that they can get things
[08:34.780 -> 08:41.740] right when all the chips fall well for them. But what, in terms of the F1 team, they have
[08:41.740 -> 08:46.200] to do at Ferrari this weekend is put the tyre degradation and
[08:46.200 -> 08:51.840] the mid to high speed nightmare of Spain behind them. That was what Carlos Sainz put it down
[08:51.840 -> 09:01.040] to. The very poor showing in Spain was that track combined the high tyre degradation and
[09:01.040 -> 09:05.000] the corner characteristics that our car particularly hates.
[09:05.000 -> 09:09.000] Now, here, as George Russell was quick to point out,
[09:09.000 -> 09:13.000] you've got the three softest compounds in the range,
[09:13.000 -> 09:16.000] and in Spain, you have the three hardest.
[09:16.000 -> 09:19.000] So, I don't know how Ferrari will do with that kind of tyre degradation.
[09:19.000 -> 09:25.760] Maybe better, but I think it's a podium, it's a kind of must podium if you're going to use the verb
[09:25.760 -> 09:26.760] to podium.
[09:26.760 -> 09:30.520] I think for Ferrari it is a must to podium this weekend.
[09:30.520 -> 09:37.480] If they don't get a podium, if they let Fernando Alonso get back in with his podium habit or
[09:37.480 -> 09:43.900] Mercedes get back in with a podium following up the ones that they showed in Spain, then
[09:43.900 -> 09:45.880] I think people at Ferrari will
[09:45.880 -> 09:52.120] start to sweat as to where exactly this season is going. And colour sights are still saying
[09:52.120 -> 09:59.080] we don't have the drivable, the easy to drive car that we had last year. So, yeah, was there
[09:59.080 -> 10:07.440] anything else on sights that I wrote down in my notebook. Yes, the tyres and the high-speed corners.
[10:07.440 -> 10:11.520] Yeah, we'll see what happens there. George Russell and Lewis Hamilton spoke to them
[10:11.520 -> 10:15.360] as well today. George Russell actually, who was at the Champions League final in
[10:15.360 -> 10:23.200] Istanbul, saying that he saw parallels in Jack Grealish and his teammates, Kevin
[10:23.200 -> 10:26.280] De Bruyne and all the others at Man City.
[10:26.280 -> 10:28.560] And the sort of come down that they had,
[10:28.560 -> 10:33.560] he said he saw parallels between his win in Brazil last year
[10:34.680 -> 10:36.920] and Jack Grealish, who he followed in.
[10:36.920 -> 10:39.560] The story of how George Russell ended up
[10:39.560 -> 10:41.800] on the Manchester City bus
[10:41.800 -> 10:44.000] and going back to the hotel for the party
[10:44.000 -> 10:52.720] is that they were stuck in Istanbul's legendary traffic and George got a lift on the Man City bus as to
[10:52.720 -> 10:56.720] get with its police escort to get out of the traffic and so that's how it ended
[10:56.720 -> 11:02.000] up going back obviously as it was to the Man City Hotel and to the party but he
[11:02.000 -> 11:05.520] saw Jack Grealish because he was with him to go from that elation down to the party but he saw Jack Grealish because he was with him to go
[11:05.520 -> 11:10.720] from that elation down to the kind of adrenaline low and then get back up
[11:10.720 -> 11:14.240] again for the party afterwards but George said look I didn't celebrate my
[11:14.240 -> 11:17.680] win in Brazil for three straight days which I believe the Man City squad did
[11:17.680 -> 11:22.880] but certainly saw some parallels there so I thought was interesting and George
[11:22.880 -> 11:29.960] was sort of saying look you know it's going to be a bit of a different circuit for Mercedes here because it's the same corner
[11:29.960 -> 11:34.760] profiles that Carlos Sainz talked about, very different corners, very different tyres, and
[11:34.760 -> 11:39.520] the fact that while their car went well in Spain, it might not go so well here. I put
[11:39.520 -> 11:42.840] it to Lewis Hamilton when he said more or less the same thing, that this was a bit of
[11:42.840 -> 11:49.360] a downer that his engineers said, and that is it the case that when he goes in the engineers are trying
[11:49.360 -> 11:52.840] to be all clever clever, say well our simulations say we're not going to be very good here and
[11:52.840 -> 11:56.440] the best we can hope for is fourth or whatever, do you have to go in, bang your fist on the
[11:56.440 -> 11:59.320] table and say look, come on, we're here to win.
[11:59.320 -> 12:10.680] And Lewis in a roundabout way said yes, I'm the hype man, we are here to win and that's what I'm here to do I'm here to win this weekend. At a circuit where he's
[12:10.680 -> 12:15.440] had so much success he really has the keys to victory around here. Seven wins
[12:15.440 -> 12:19.680] of course equal with Michael Schumacher around the circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
[12:19.680 -> 12:25.720] What else was going on Pierre Gasly took his team out for a session of ten pin bowling
[12:25.720 -> 12:29.960] but when he got to the bowling alley he found out that it was a strange kind of
[12:29.960 -> 12:35.360] Quebecois bowling with sort of much smaller skittles and much smaller
[12:35.360 -> 12:39.120] bowling balls and he was not used to it and so therefore didn't do very well. I
[12:39.120 -> 12:43.120] don't know whether if he got to a usual ten pin bowling whether he thought he
[12:43.120 -> 12:47.760] could do a little bit better but said that he certainly didn't win, but it was nice to take his mechanics out.
[12:47.760 -> 12:56.560] And Esteban Ocon was talking about Caleb Cooper and Jeremy Clarkson's visit from Diddley Squat Farm
[12:56.560 -> 13:03.520] to the nearby Enstone Alpine factory. So they're very close together in Chattelington or Chipping
[13:03.520 -> 13:05.040] Norton or wherever they are in
[13:05.040 -> 13:10.080] Oxfordshire and apparently, I didn't see this because I was working at the time, Jezza Clarkson
[13:10.080 -> 13:14.760] said at the Monaco Grand Prix, if Esteban makes it onto the podium, I'll bring some
[13:14.760 -> 13:19.480] of the Hawkstone lager down and give it to the team and he stayed true to that.
[13:19.480 -> 13:27.640] And the funny bit was when Esteban showed Caleb the F1 car steering wheel and Caleb couldn't quite get
[13:27.640 -> 13:32.880] his hands around it. But yeah, apparently Caleb said he was fine going the 7 miles down
[13:32.880 -> 13:38.800] the road to the Enstone factory from Chadlington but he wouldn't have gone to London to meet
[13:38.800 -> 13:42.600] the Alpine team so I thought it was quite funny.
[13:42.600 -> 13:48.280] What's that? So that's Alpine. McLaren, I didn't speak to Lando or Oscar Piastri,
[13:48.280 -> 13:50.200] so I don't have anything for McLaren.
[13:50.200 -> 13:53.440] So stay tuned for the shows for the weekend
[13:53.440 -> 13:56.720] as to what they are getting up to.
[13:56.720 -> 14:01.000] Who I did talk to was Yuki Tsunoda and Nick DeVries.
[14:01.000 -> 14:03.240] And Yuki Tsunoda, I'm sorry to say,
[14:03.240 -> 14:08.520] because I thought he'd get over the disappointment of finishing the Spanish Grand Prix on the road ninth but then
[14:08.520 -> 14:12.400] getting dropped down a couple of positions but apparently, well he says,
[14:12.400 -> 14:18.760] he's still rather upset about it. The time penalty that put him behind Zhou
[14:18.760 -> 14:23.920] Guan Yu and whoever was tenth I've forgotten in Spain and he's still upset
[14:23.920 -> 14:30.800] about it. I didn't want to kind of bring it up too much I just wanted to know if he was going to engage with the FIA to understand
[14:30.800 -> 14:35.040] exactly what he did which wasn't allowed and whether he can make sure he doesn't do it again.
[14:35.040 -> 14:39.600] He said look it's not so much that it's the penalty points that I've really got a problem with
[14:39.600 -> 14:48.240] said Yuki. As for Nick de Vries he's hoping for a good weekend. He said that you might not have seen it but they have been making progress in Spain and
[14:48.240 -> 14:50.120] over the last couple of races.
[14:50.120 -> 14:56.840] Newquay's pace showed that that car is capable of finishing in the points.
[14:56.840 -> 14:57.840] Who else then?
[14:57.840 -> 15:01.920] Didn't talk to Alex Albon but did talk to Logan Sargent who, while it's his first time
[15:01.920 -> 15:09.280] here in a Formula 1 car, does know the circuit a little bit, was talking about how his particular way of mastering it, trying
[15:09.280 -> 15:14.440] to find time, is to come off the brakes a little bit earlier and then bleed a bit
[15:14.440 -> 15:20.280] more speed into the corner. Get a higher mid-corner speed and then that means a
[15:20.280 -> 15:27.280] quicker exit. That kind of specific explaining of where it's all going a bit
[15:27.280 -> 15:31.760] wrong or whether he's not able to find as much time as Albon at the moment I
[15:31.760 -> 15:35.960] thought was very refreshing and interesting from Logan Sargent there.
[15:35.960 -> 15:42.960] Right that is about it. Yep Lando didn't speak to him but I want to know what is
[15:42.960 -> 15:45.800] going on at McLaren and Oscar Piastri.
[15:45.800 -> 15:49.600] There'll be plenty of Ashes chat which starts this week.
[15:49.600 -> 15:52.840] In fact, I think it starts on Friday.
[15:52.840 -> 15:56.840] But Lance Stroll, let's leave you with a thought on Lance Stroll, shall we?
[15:56.840 -> 16:03.360] And yep, comes home to Montreal, says that he hasn't been able, hasn't had too much to
[16:03.360 -> 16:06.080] deal with in terms of extra interviews and media appearances,
[16:06.080 -> 16:12.240] so has managed to keep his head pretty much in gear and his mind clear as he goes to his home race and
[16:13.200 -> 16:19.480] has a chance. He thought Spain wasn't exactly a bad weekend. It's just that the Mercedes were ahead of them and
[16:21.040 -> 16:24.040] there was a Ferrari in there as well that meant they dropped back.
[16:24.240 -> 16:25.000] He thinks
[16:25.000 -> 16:29.200] this race will be a little bit better for Aston Martin but doesn't know
[16:29.200 -> 16:33.640] whether it's going to be him or Fernando Alonso who's going to be able to
[16:33.640 -> 16:39.280] challenge for the podium. But wouldn't that be amazing if he was
[16:39.280 -> 16:44.160] able at this sellout crowd to get the podium, his first podium of the season
[16:44.160 -> 16:45.300] that has
[16:45.300 -> 16:49.480] avoided, that has eluded him so far or whether Fernando Alonso will be able to
[16:49.480 -> 16:53.200] get back into that podium habit for Aston Martin. There's only one way to
[16:53.200 -> 16:56.860] find out and that's to follow us throughout the weekend. We're on in the
[16:56.860 -> 17:03.940] afternoon and evening. Go to our skysports.com slash f1 for all the
[17:03.940 -> 17:07.600] details on the website, on Twitter it's at skysports f1 and on
[17:07.600 -> 17:12.480] instagram as well they'll have all the on-air times and the factoid that i will leave you to
[17:13.200 -> 17:21.600] to about the marmots and the groundhogs is that they deter them with wolf and coyote weewee
[17:22.720 -> 17:26.100] yes that is just one of the facts that you'll find in our coverage this
[17:26.100 -> 17:31.600] weekend. But to try and persuade the marmots and the groundhogs not to go on the circuit
[17:31.600 -> 17:36.340] for their own safety and the safety and integrity of the Formula 1 cars and the F1 drivers,
[17:36.340 -> 17:42.520] but more to save the marmots from getting hit by F1 cars, they spray the perimeter walls
[17:42.520 -> 17:47.000] with coyote pee. And that puts the marmots off.
[17:47.000 -> 17:51.000] And on that note, I will say thanks for listening to Ted's PodBook in Canada,
[17:51.000 -> 17:55.000] and we'll look forward to your company throughout this Canadian Grand Prix weekend.
[17:55.000 -> 17:56.000] Bye-bye.
