[00:27.000 -> 00:34.000] We've also got an exclusive track, the 2020 official anthem from the Red Bull Batea to finish, which is a real treat.
[00:34.000 -> 00:41.000] The off-season is very much coming to an end and we're getting ever closer to a new season of F1 action.
[00:41.000 -> 00:46.000] You'll have seen we launched our 2021 Charger, the RB16B.
[00:46.000 -> 00:51.000] On the surface, the first images of the new car suggest that not too much has
[00:51.000 -> 00:55.000] changed over the winter. While the deferral of the new regulations to 2022
[00:55.000 -> 00:59.000] of course means there's a lot of carryover to this season, it doesn't mean
[00:59.000 -> 01:03.000] that our crew of highly qualified designers have been lounging around all winter.
[01:03.000 -> 01:08.680] Far from it. One of the major changes for this season is of course under the engine cover. For its
[01:08.680 -> 01:13.540] final season in F1, Honda has introduced a new power unit and it's this heavily
[01:13.540 -> 01:18.280] revised beast that Max and Sergio had a run with at Silverstone this week. First
[01:18.280 -> 01:23.360] up on the podcast, by popular demand we got Max and Checo together on mic for
[01:23.360 -> 01:29.840] the first time and we thought it only best that they ask each other the questions. Over to you fellas.
[01:29.840 -> 01:34.700] Okay let's start Max, you ready? Yeah. How was your off season and what did you get
[01:34.700 -> 01:40.560] up to? It was actually pretty much off season you know I really spent a bit of
[01:40.560 -> 01:44.080] time with my family in Holland first because of you know Covid throughout the
[01:44.080 -> 01:47.600] whole year I couldn't see them and there were a few babies born as
[01:47.600 -> 01:51.840] well so I had to visit them all. New babies in the family.
[01:51.840 -> 01:56.080] Yeah, so it was good to catch up with them
[01:56.080 -> 02:00.160] throughout Christmas as well. Then I went to Brazil for two weeks so that was
[02:00.160 -> 02:03.440] nice and warm you know a bit of summer feeling actually.
[02:03.440 -> 02:10.400] Cycle changed going from Europe to yeah I was cold and I was like I really need to get out
[02:10.400 -> 02:16.280] of here and then yeah I came back home started training again and just you know
[02:16.280 -> 02:22.080] being at home I knew you got you got a bit of time yeah I got a bit of time
[02:22.080 -> 02:26.200] finally you know with the family with with the kids, back in Mexico.
[02:26.200 -> 02:27.200] Sleeping well?
[02:27.200 -> 02:28.200] Yeah, sleeping well.
[02:28.200 -> 02:29.800] They were giving you a good rest or not?
[02:29.800 -> 02:31.800] They gave me a good rest, I have to say.
[02:31.800 -> 02:38.200] They're getting better at it, you know, my youngest one, my daughter is just over a year,
[02:38.200 -> 02:39.800] so she's sleeping better now.
[02:39.800 -> 02:40.800] Ah, that's good.
[02:40.800 -> 02:42.200] So, my first question.
[02:42.200 -> 02:45.200] How was your first experience of the RB16B?
[02:45.200 -> 02:51.040] I think the car has potential. I think we gotta work it through and hopefully make the setup
[02:51.040 -> 02:55.200] as ready as possible for the first race. It's gonna be a very short introduction before
[02:55.200 -> 02:59.200] we are racing in Bahrain. Yeah, I mean, not many practice days.
[02:59.200 -> 03:03.440] Are you excited to be racing again? I always get excited when the race weekend
[03:03.440 -> 03:09.720] starts. Like for me, the testing. I I don't know I'm always bored to death but driving the Formula
[03:09.720 -> 03:13.140] One car is good I mean it's always nice to get a... You don't like those testing in
[03:13.140 -> 03:17.880] Silverstone? Especially like when they tell you go for a race run. You've never
[03:17.880 -> 03:23.420] been to Pembry right? I've been, my very first time in a race car was in Pembry.
[03:23.420 -> 03:25.160] How cold was it?
[03:25.160 -> 03:29.840] It was raining to start off, but it was in the summer, like around August.
[03:29.840 -> 03:32.400] Ah, you didn't have the good days.
[03:32.400 -> 03:33.400] There were sheep around.
[03:33.400 -> 03:37.120] I've been to Pembrey like first, second of January in Formula 3.
[03:37.120 -> 03:38.640] Was that with Karlin?
[03:38.640 -> 03:39.640] With T-Sport.
[03:39.640 -> 03:42.320] You spent some time at Silverstone and in the factory.
[03:42.320 -> 03:46.040] How has it been settling in with a new team after so long with another team?
[03:46.040 -> 03:50.720] It's quite a change, man, because can you imagine after seven years changing, you get
[03:50.720 -> 03:56.280] used to working with people, explaining the car in one way, you know, talking about the
[03:56.280 -> 04:02.920] racing in different manners. And you come here, the seating position is just so different,
[04:02.920 -> 04:09.000] talking to your engineers, meeting a lot of new people, you don't know anyone, you know, it's like, it's quite a big change.
[04:09.000 -> 04:29.920] Yeah, I even had it like when I went from Toro Rosso to Red Bull and I mean it's supposed to be similar, it was a really big difference already, like just handling the steering wheel, all the buttons and everything, you know know the procedures is completely different and like you say the the seating for me is always a shock you know that's a shock no that that's how like
[04:29.920 -> 04:36.080] or the the way you you drive a car no yeah it's so different yeah it's quite different what phrase
[04:36.080 -> 04:42.160] can you teach me in dutch it's supposed to be nice or not something nice that people don't hate me in
[04:42.160 -> 04:45.960] dutch you know no no no it's not about hate I just wanted to say
[04:45.960 -> 04:48.640] something dirty but let's not.
[04:48.640 -> 04:49.640] U gaat het met jou?
[04:49.640 -> 04:51.640] Wow that's difficult.
[04:51.640 -> 04:53.640] How are you doing?
[04:53.640 -> 04:55.640] U gaat het met jou?
[04:55.640 -> 04:57.640] U gaat het met jou?
[04:57.640 -> 04:59.640] It's good. It's a good start. We'll start there.
[04:59.640 -> 05:01.640] Then we'll go to Amsterdam at one point.
[05:01.640 -> 05:03.640] I'm looking forward to that.
[05:03.640 -> 05:06.760] And then at four o'clock in the night we'll ask a few people how they are doing.
[05:08.560 -> 05:10.520] How do you feel about a
[05:10.520 -> 05:17.160] 23 race season? It's gonna be a busy year, busy schedule. Not just with the races, with the simulator stuff,
[05:17.640 -> 05:20.360] marketing events and so on. It's gonna be a flat-out season.
[05:20.360 -> 05:25.120] I think once it starts, like before you know you are in December you
[05:25.120 -> 05:29.120] know years are going to be fast what you think I mean also you know last year
[05:29.120 -> 05:35.280] when we we did 17 in such a short time space it was pretty crazy so yeah
[05:35.280 -> 05:38.560] another six attitude of course the season is going to be a little bit
[05:38.560 -> 05:42.600] longer but challenging that's for sure you were in danger and you had to choose
[05:42.600 -> 05:45.840] another F1 driver to save your life, who would it be and why?
[05:45.840 -> 05:48.640] Not many people I think you can depend on.
[05:48.640 -> 05:50.880] Not many will save your life?
[05:50.880 -> 05:52.880] I think many would try to drown me.
[05:52.880 -> 05:56.880] You can call me, I'll try to save you.
[05:56.880 -> 06:03.840] I think the others, Daniel for sure, but with Daniel I think we'll probably drown together if you'll try to save me.
[06:03.840 -> 06:07.500] I think always just stick within the team, I think that's the safest option.
[06:07.500 -> 06:10.000] That's the safest option, I agree on that one.
[06:10.000 -> 06:14.000] You've raced in a lot of different series, what was the most fun to drive?
[06:14.000 -> 06:17.000] Formula 3, Formula 3 car, I really enjoyed it.
[06:17.000 -> 06:18.000] And you?
[06:18.000 -> 06:24.000] Yeah for me, I mean I tested Formula 1 and 2 liter, and I went to Formula 3 and for me it's like a bit of a...
[06:24.000 -> 06:27.400] You did karting, F3 and pretty much F1.
[06:27.400 -> 06:31.800] Yeah I mean I did like Formula Renault 2 liter testing then I did my season in Formula 3
[06:31.800 -> 06:37.280] then True Red Bull they let me drive two days in a 3.5 car F3 mainly but it felt
[06:37.280 -> 06:40.800] like a big go-kart to me so I like it you know that's so much downforce for
[06:40.800 -> 06:44.600] such a little car it's a little bit underpowered but it was a lot of fun
[06:44.600 -> 06:47.560] that's for sure. What do you remember about racing when you were 4
[06:47.560 -> 06:51.400] year old? Okay so what I remember from when I was 4 years old starting in
[06:51.400 -> 06:54.960] go-karting well basically the funny thing is I started because of someone
[06:54.960 -> 06:59.120] else not my dad you know pushing me or my mom pushing me I went to the go-kart
[06:59.120 -> 07:02.520] track and then there was a kid driving even younger than me it's like just 3
[07:02.520 -> 07:05.120] at the time and then I called my dad,
[07:05.120 -> 07:09.760] who was at the time I think at the Formula One race, and I said I want to start driving
[07:09.760 -> 07:12.720] as well. And initially he didn't let me, he was like no, we have to wait until you're
[07:12.720 -> 07:17.920] six years old. And then I started crying on the phone, and then my mom at one point was
[07:17.920 -> 07:23.840] like I think we should buy him a go-kart. And then the funny story was that the kid
[07:23.840 -> 07:25.440] who was driving basically
[07:25.440 -> 07:29.560] became like really good friends with the whole family and we from more or less
[07:29.560 -> 07:34.280] that year until even now like we have the workshop together and they are still
[07:34.280 -> 07:38.760] in go-karting and we had a lot of success together and because they had
[07:38.760 -> 07:42.960] three brothers driving and that kid was the youngest one of the three so yeah it
[07:42.960 -> 07:47.920] was really cool. Good so you started when you were four yeah four year old I think you were up for it
[07:47.920 -> 07:51.600] well it was just you know initially I saw the videos back like when you're
[07:51.600 -> 07:55.360] four years old you're so tiny when you jumped in and straight away you what is
[07:55.360 -> 07:58.800] what you wanted to do yeah I had like this little go-kart it was not going
[07:58.800 -> 08:02.560] very fast and I did like a lap and then at one point I was just flat out
[08:02.560 -> 08:08.640] everywhere because it was so slow so then the next day my dad bought me another one to try and practice a bit more with
[08:10.080 -> 08:14.620] My first race was in the Australian GP in 2011. What were you doing in?
[08:15.220 -> 08:22.680] 2011 2011 I was in go-karting, of course in my second year starting on the second international year
[08:23.180 -> 08:25.680] Yeah, like junior category.
[08:25.680 -> 08:28.160] Braces, yeah, very sexy.
[08:28.160 -> 08:30.360] I hear you like practical jokes.
[08:30.360 -> 08:32.400] Have you played any on a teammate?
[08:32.400 -> 08:33.800] Yeah, on Nico.
[08:33.800 -> 08:35.040] You know Nico well.
[08:35.040 -> 08:36.240] He was my teammate.
[08:36.240 -> 08:37.040] He was good.
[08:37.040 -> 08:40.360] We got on well and he hated my music.
[08:40.360 -> 08:42.960] Yeah, what did he listen to?
[08:42.960 -> 08:44.080] Pop in general.
[08:44.080 -> 08:45.000] He doesn't like it?
[08:45.000 -> 08:46.000] He doesn't like it.
[08:46.000 -> 08:51.000] I think Nico when he's racing, he's very into it.
[08:51.000 -> 08:54.000] I was always playing my music, he was just hating it.
[08:56.000 -> 08:58.000] But yeah, we had good fun.
[08:58.000 -> 08:59.000] I'm a normal guy.
[08:59.000 -> 09:01.000] Good to my teammates.
[09:01.000 -> 09:03.000] Okay, well that's good to know.
[09:04.000 -> 09:07.200] Tell me something that I definitely won't know about you.
[09:07.200 -> 09:08.800] We can go in more detail later.
[09:08.800 -> 09:12.280] Okay, you can show me later.
[09:12.280 -> 09:14.680] You'll be impressed.
[09:14.680 -> 09:17.720] What food should I eat when I go to your home race at Zandvoort?
[09:17.720 -> 09:21.840] There are many things, but not very healthy things, I can tell you.
[09:21.840 -> 09:22.840] What's the best?
[09:22.840 -> 09:30.680] We call it bitterballen, very nice. You know it's like little round pieces of meat. How you call it? It's like
[09:30.680 -> 09:35.720] probably processed meat. Is it fried? Yeah so not the healthiest option but
[09:35.720 -> 09:40.080] very nice with a bit with a bit of mustard. Amazing. Frikandelle, also meat.
[09:40.080 -> 09:45.000] Again not a healthy option. A lot of meat. Frites Bechaux is french fries with
[09:45.000 -> 09:51.920] mayonnaise or with ketchup or like curry sauce on it and onions. I lived in Germany
[09:51.920 -> 09:57.880] so yeah so you you understand what's going on. It's a good place to to be in
[09:57.880 -> 10:02.920] Zandvoort. They have a very nice beach yeah it's like a lot of kite surfing I
[10:02.920 -> 10:06.580] think actually going around there and thenhuh, and then of course Amsterdam is not too far away
[10:06.580 -> 10:12.200] So I race in some for like at the start of my career. You did the masses or? No in Formula BMW
[10:13.200 -> 10:17.760] 2005 yeah, but now with the banking is quite crazy. They've changed a lot
[10:18.520 -> 10:19.720] Was it turn?
[10:19.720 -> 10:21.800] Well depends how you look at it turn three four
[10:21.800 -> 10:23.080] You know the the left-hander
[10:23.080 -> 10:25.600] Proper banking and in the last corner banked.
[10:25.600 -> 10:29.200] In the middle of the track where you had to brake a bit down, you went right, left.
[10:29.200 -> 10:31.200] Like, that's a little bit faster now.
[10:31.200 -> 10:35.400] I have a friend, a good story from Sandvoort. He used to drive in A1.
[10:35.400 -> 10:38.100] He was testing to get the seat, you know.
[10:38.100 -> 10:42.000] They tested every weekend to see who's the fastest and then drives the next race.
[10:42.000 -> 10:42.900] Oh, wow, okay.
[10:42.900 -> 10:49.880] So, it was his chance at Sandford, so he came out of turn one and he thought that that was
[10:49.880 -> 10:54.440] a straight line, you know, so he went flat out, he forgot about turn two.
[10:54.440 -> 10:55.440] He just went straight into the wall?
[10:55.440 -> 10:59.960] He went straight into the wall, like he broke so late, he destroyed the car.
[10:59.960 -> 11:05.680] Oh this car, yeah I remember my dad racing it in 2006 as well. A1.
[11:05.680 -> 11:06.680] Already?
[11:06.680 -> 11:07.680] Yeah, he did one year.
[11:07.680 -> 11:09.680] With, I remember the other driver.
[11:09.680 -> 11:10.680] Jeroen?
[11:10.680 -> 11:11.680] Yeah.
[11:11.680 -> 11:13.480] He did the year after, yeah. 2007.
[11:13.480 -> 11:18.480] I might have driven with him then, because I drove A1GP around 2007.
[11:18.480 -> 11:19.680] Yeah, good stories.
[11:19.680 -> 11:20.680] You're next.
[11:20.680 -> 11:25.960] Wow, hey guys, this is like scoring from an open goal.
[11:25.960 -> 11:29.120] Who on the grid are you looking forward to racing and beating this season?
[11:30.720 -> 11:33.600] All of them, no? Not one in particular.
[11:33.800 -> 11:36.440] Well, there has always been one particular team
[11:36.440 -> 11:39.960] like finishing, been finishing in front of us the last few years.
[11:39.960 -> 11:41.800] So I think that's the one.
[11:41.800 -> 11:44.440] That's the one. Hopefully we are able to beat.
[11:44.680 -> 11:45.600] Yeah. What's one sport you'd we are able to beat. Yeah.
[11:45.600 -> 11:47.760] What's one sport you'd like to be taught
[11:47.760 -> 11:49.040] by another Red Bull athlete?
[11:49.040 -> 11:50.500] I'd like to watch it and stuff.
[11:50.500 -> 11:53.400] I'd like to one day ride a MotoGP bike.
[11:53.400 -> 11:55.440] And I would like to go to somewhere warm, you know,
[11:55.440 -> 11:56.440] for the tires and everything.
[11:56.440 -> 11:57.840] I mean, it's a bit cold.
[11:57.840 -> 12:00.240] It's a bit tricky.
[12:00.240 -> 12:01.720] But one day.
[12:01.720 -> 12:02.640] MotoGP.
[12:02.640 -> 12:04.560] Yeah, I just want to feel the speed.
[12:04.560 -> 12:06.120] I think it's gonna be incredible.
[12:06.120 -> 12:09.800] We often get asked to drive unusual vehicles.
[12:09.800 -> 12:14.000] If you could race any vehicle which is in a racing car around any circuit, what would it be?
[12:14.000 -> 12:15.000] That's a good one.
[12:15.000 -> 12:17.800] Did you see the filming I did with Daniel back in the day with a caravan?
[12:17.800 -> 12:18.800] Ah yeah, that was cool.
[12:18.800 -> 12:20.160] Can you imagine racing that together?
[12:20.160 -> 12:23.120] But you were crashing and the caravan was sprawling around.
[12:23.120 -> 12:24.120] Oh yeah, it was completely destroyed.
[12:24.120 -> 12:25.000] That was a good film.
[12:25.000 -> 12:29.000] Yeah, like we start next to each other, we have a few laps, like just banging into each other.
[12:29.000 -> 12:31.000] That would be, for me that would be amazing.
[12:31.000 -> 12:33.000] That would be good. They can sort it out.
[12:33.000 -> 12:39.000] But I think the goal is to try and like crash into each other, but then break the caravan off the car.
[12:39.000 -> 12:42.000] That is, you get like bonus points for it.
[12:42.000 -> 12:43.000] Ah right, okay.
[12:44.000 -> 12:45.840] You have more followers than me on
[12:45.840 -> 12:50.520] Instagram but I have more on Twitter which is better. Wow, I don't know I don't really look
[12:50.520 -> 12:55.520] at my followers anyway. Yeah but you're not the type of guy that counts them every day. No,
[12:55.520 -> 13:01.400] unfortunately. Every morning. You do. Every morning when I wake up I see that I have new followers.
[13:01.400 -> 13:06.200] Next to the toilet you know. I'm'm counting down what's a useful phrase you
[13:06.200 -> 13:12.920] can teach me in Spanish you know some any Spanish that's very very Spanish I
[13:12.920 -> 13:17.680] think cabron cabron is good because you can use it anyway you say Spanish or
[13:17.680 -> 13:22.920] you call it Mexican no it's Spanish but it's just sometimes
[13:22.920 -> 13:25.760] Mexicans they feel quite proud they want they want to call it Spanish, but it's just... Because sometimes Mexicans feel quite proud, they won't call it Spanish.
[13:25.760 -> 13:30.160] No, no, it's Spanish, but we don't have like Mexican language.
[13:30.160 -> 13:34.480] You know, it's the Spanish, but it's the accent, which is better.
[13:35.120 -> 13:35.620] Okay.
[13:35.920 -> 13:37.520] So, you can...
[13:38.160 -> 13:38.660] Cabrón.
[13:39.040 -> 13:39.540] Cabrón.
[13:39.600 -> 13:40.100] Cabrón.
[13:40.160 -> 13:40.660] Cabrón.
[13:40.720 -> 13:41.220] Cabrón.
[13:41.840 -> 13:43.520] You're pretty good, Cabrón.
[13:43.520 -> 13:44.800] And that can be used in...
[13:45.360 -> 13:47.760] That can mean a lot of things.
[13:47.760 -> 13:49.360] Depends on which way you say it.
[13:49.360 -> 13:50.640] Well done, cabron!
[13:50.640 -> 13:53.360] It's like, oh, you've done it really well.
[13:53.360 -> 13:53.840] Okay.
[13:53.840 -> 13:56.160] But if you say like, you are a cabron.
[13:56.160 -> 13:57.280] Then...
[13:57.280 -> 13:58.160] Like that, so...
[13:58.160 -> 13:59.760] Okay. Okay, we'll start with that.
[14:00.640 -> 14:02.000] You can use it for anything.
[14:02.000 -> 14:03.440] Spanish is very easy.
[14:03.440 -> 14:06.780] For me, it's like they almost like with the tongue you know you have to really
[14:06.780 -> 14:08.500] talk a lot with the tongue.
[14:08.500 -> 14:10.500] Who always has good snacks in the team?
[14:10.500 -> 14:16.500] I'm not a guy for the snacks anyway because I'll be too fat when I'm around snacks.
[14:16.500 -> 14:18.500] You're not looking for snacks during the race weekend I guess.
[14:18.500 -> 14:22.500] No, I have to really not look for it like stay away from the snacks.
[14:22.500 -> 14:26.040] I'm not the right person probably to ask these questions.
[14:26.040 -> 14:26.880] I'll find out.
[14:26.880 -> 14:27.800] Yeah, probably.
[14:27.800 -> 14:30.640] I mean, I know there is a fridge full of snacks.
[14:30.640 -> 14:33.480] Oh yeah, okay, you let me where it is and I'll try them all.
[14:33.480 -> 14:34.680] I know a lot of good snacks in there.
[14:34.680 -> 14:35.520] Are they good?
[14:35.520 -> 14:37.720] Yeah, so I can show you the next time.
[14:38.920 -> 14:40.600] Do you listen to any podcast
[14:40.600 -> 14:42.880] and do you know the name of this podcast?
[14:42.880 -> 14:44.200] Talking Bull?
[14:44.200 -> 14:46.000] Yeah. No, to be honest honest I don't listen to podcasts.
[14:46.000 -> 14:49.000] What or who do I need to worry about in the factory?
[14:49.000 -> 14:50.000] GP.
[14:50.000 -> 14:54.000] GP, yeah, but I mean this guy can get kicked out any minute.
[14:54.000 -> 14:56.000] You know he was my race engineer?
[14:56.000 -> 14:57.000] Yeah, he told me, he told me.
[14:57.000 -> 15:01.000] That's funny, you know, just after all those years and then back in the same team.
[15:01.000 -> 15:02.000] Who to look out for?
[15:02.000 -> 15:04.000] Well, marketing, very dangerous.
[15:04.000 -> 15:05.000] Everyone, all of them. They're look out for? Well, marketing is very dangerous.
[15:05.000 -> 15:07.000] Everyone, all of them.
[15:07.000 -> 15:09.000] They're a bit weird as well, no?
[15:09.000 -> 15:12.000] Yeah, I think one day we should just lock them up and...
[15:12.000 -> 15:14.000] Well, there are many of them.
[15:14.000 -> 15:17.000] Half of the team will be gone with marketing.
[15:17.000 -> 15:18.000] Yes.
[15:18.000 -> 15:20.000] We love you guys.
[15:20.000 -> 15:22.000] Not.
[15:23.000 -> 15:25.000] Did you start any hobbies last year?
[15:25.000 -> 15:27.000] I don't think last year was the perfect time to start a hobby.
[15:27.000 -> 15:29.000] Drinking more caipirinha?
[15:29.000 -> 15:30.000] I don't like it.
[15:30.000 -> 15:31.000] You don't like it?
[15:31.000 -> 15:35.000] I try it, but I'm not a big fan. I'm just a gin tonic guy.
[15:35.000 -> 15:41.000] I love to choose the right gin, but also to find the right tonic. That's always very important.
[15:41.000 -> 15:43.000] You don't go out of that one?
[15:43.000 -> 15:46.160] No. For me, a hobby is sim racing as well at home.
[15:46.640 -> 15:48.160] I really enjoy that.
[15:49.040 -> 15:50.600] I like to be out on the water,
[15:51.080 -> 15:52.080] you know, on like jet skis.
[15:52.080 -> 15:54.200] On the jet ski, I've seen that.
[15:54.440 -> 15:55.800] It can be dangerous too sometimes.
[15:55.800 -> 15:57.080] You go flat out, I can imagine.
[15:57.080 -> 15:59.360] Why? It's just jumping and then when they ask you...
[15:59.360 -> 16:00.440] Have you ever fallen off?
[16:00.440 -> 16:01.760] Yeah, I've had a few big...
[16:01.760 -> 16:02.760] Yeah?
[16:03.280 -> 16:06.320] What is your first memory of a racetrack?
[16:06.320 -> 16:10.040] My first ever Formula 1 race that I went to, really, is the one I remember.
[16:10.040 -> 16:11.040] Where did you go?
[16:11.040 -> 16:14.620] Indianapolis in 2002.
[16:14.620 -> 16:16.160] It was close to Mexico.
[16:16.160 -> 16:21.640] I won a karting event from Montoya.
[16:21.640 -> 16:26.000] The trophy was to go to a race, a Formula 1 race, and the engines were really loud.
[16:26.000 -> 16:28.000] Yeah, it was a V10 at the time.
[16:28.000 -> 16:29.000] V12.
[16:29.000 -> 16:30.000] Ah, okay.
[16:30.000 -> 16:32.000] Well, Ferrari V12, yeah.
[16:32.000 -> 16:33.000] I mean, those...
[16:33.000 -> 16:37.000] And then also with the banking, you know, you can hear the sound even better.
[16:37.000 -> 16:38.000] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[16:38.000 -> 16:39.000] It was pretty good.
[16:39.000 -> 16:41.000] Did you wait to see your dad?
[16:41.000 -> 16:42.000] Yeah, a few times.
[16:42.000 -> 16:44.000] I mean, my dad told me so.
[16:44.000 -> 16:49.320] When I was like 8, 9 months months he had to test in Jerez and I was there when it was
[16:49.320 -> 16:50.320] super warm.
[16:50.320 -> 16:55.280] But then what I can remember was like 2000-2001 when he was in Aeros.
[16:55.280 -> 16:56.280] How old were you?
[16:56.280 -> 16:57.280] 3 and a half, 4.
[16:57.280 -> 16:58.280] 3 and a half.
[16:58.280 -> 16:59.280] You remember those days?
[16:59.280 -> 17:04.840] Yeah, I remember also when he was doing testing on airfields, you know, the speed testing.
[17:04.840 -> 17:07.560] So I remember sitting in the truck and then seeing the car going up and down.
[17:07.560 -> 17:11.680] I'm thinking to take my son to a race, you know, he's three and a half, but I'm like,
[17:11.680 -> 17:13.160] well, he will not remember, so what's the point?
[17:13.160 -> 17:18.840] It's like a playground, what I remember, you see all the big trucks everywhere, he's running
[17:18.840 -> 17:19.840] around and you don't care.
[17:19.840 -> 17:23.600] But it's good if you remember, you know, it's like a nice memory, you know?
[17:23.600 -> 17:24.600] For sure.
[17:24.600 -> 17:25.480] The first time when you're done.
[17:25.480 -> 17:27.040] You will always have it in the back.
[17:27.040 -> 17:30.920] And then I remember also I was in Malaysia one time, of course I was more in the hotel,
[17:30.920 -> 17:35.080] but I was watching the race from the TV in the hotel room, seeing my dad race, I thought
[17:35.080 -> 17:36.720] it was always, yeah, very cool.
[17:36.720 -> 17:37.720] Cool, man.
[17:37.720 -> 17:38.720] Good memories.
[17:38.720 -> 17:41.400] Where are you going to take me when we're racing in Mexico City?
[17:41.400 -> 17:43.200] I'll take you to my karting track.
[17:43.200 -> 17:44.200] It's close?
[17:44.200 -> 17:46.400] Yeah, it's a 50 minute flight.
[17:46.400 -> 17:52.120] Okay. So we take a flight and we can go. We have good fun. I haven't been in a proper go-kart for like
[17:52.120 -> 17:56.520] three years now. Oh really? Even more maybe. It will be good. I arrange some
[17:56.520 -> 18:00.520] karting. We take some of your friends and we go there. We have good
[18:00.520 -> 18:05.480] some good tacos. Yeah. As well. I like that. You like tequila?
[18:05.480 -> 18:06.560] Sometimes.
[18:06.560 -> 18:08.320] It can also really knock you out.
[18:08.320 -> 18:09.320] I'll get you the right one.
[18:09.320 -> 18:10.320] Okay.
[18:10.320 -> 18:12.280] Then we have to call Christian.
[18:12.280 -> 18:13.760] Christian, next race, you know,
[18:13.760 -> 18:16.520] we might need to skip because Max broke his arm.
[18:16.520 -> 18:18.280] Checo rolled, he broke his leg.
[18:19.160 -> 18:20.000] We'll be good.
[18:20.000 -> 18:21.160] We can take helmet as well.
[18:21.160 -> 18:23.000] Helmet and a go-kart, I would like to see.
[18:23.000 -> 18:23.840] That would be good.
[18:23.840 -> 18:30.560] This would be, I think he will really try to run into us. I think so, no? Yeah, maybe this is the next
[18:30.560 -> 18:35.680] podcast everyone, you know, from the hospital. That can be good.
[18:36.560 -> 18:41.200] I'm not sure we want to be doing any episodes from hospital, but thanks Max. How great to hear
[18:41.200 -> 18:51.000] the guys together there. More of that to come throughout the season for sure. That's almost it for this episode of Talking Ball. We'll leave you with a very exclusive track from the Rebel Batalla de Carlos.
[18:51.000 -> 18:58.000] It's a global freestyle rap competition. 16 MCs got together in a studio last week to lay it down.
[18:58.000 -> 19:02.000] This is the official anthem, Imparables. We hope you enjoy.
[19:02.000 -> 19:08.120] And Sergio, if you're listening, I apologize for completely murdering the Spanish language. We'll be back with more
[19:08.120 -> 19:12.520] exclusive content from the track, the paddock and the factory very soon. Until
[19:12.520 -> 19:27.640] then, aguanta. Sexto round, no es la vida que me toca, es la que me he buscado.
[19:27.640 -> 19:30.000] Da igual si he ganado,
[19:30.000 -> 19:32.320] valgo el doble por las veces que me he levantado.
[19:32.320 -> 19:35.000] Mi hermano el Minu ya lo dijo,
[19:35.000 -> 19:37.320] mi likes son altibajos y va bien ese tuerce fijo.
[19:37.320 -> 19:39.720] Por suerte, no es por suerte, porque soy lo que me exijo.
[19:39.720 -> 19:42.200] Ver los huevos del padre hace que se esfuerce el hijo.
[19:42.200 -> 19:44.560] 004015 es el prefijo,
