Welcome to the Grand Prix Project podcast.

(00:34):
Welcome once again this is the Grand Prix Project podcast.
This is the British Grand Prix Review with me, your host Andrea
and the big bro Thanos. What's the good thing?
What's happening? What's happening?
I'm good man. Just another sunny day in the
UK. Writing sunny day this week.
Good amount man. But this week the forecast is
not looking pleasant. Waiting for another heat wave

(00:57):
again. So and it's upwards of 30°.
Yeah, so been rough over my sideof town for a lot of families,
you know? Yeah, when I saw the news about
the flash flood. Yeah, actually, I want to say
the condolences to all those families who lost their loved
ones in that North Texas flood. Yeah.

(01:18):
You see, I can't really imagine what it feels like, but those
families will drop their kids off just for a regular summer
camp thinking their kids are going to have fun character
building, only to get that call that the river took away the old
camp. Part, you know, and also
negligence, man, from, you know,the current administration, but

(01:42):
we won't get into that politics.Yeah, I, I wouldn't say it's the
current administration because Iwouldn't say that that that's
just playing politics at the moment, right?
That's what I said. Because there was there was
other administrations in before that that could have installed
the sirens, right? Well, from it's not even from my
understanding, from my understanding the department

(02:05):
that was responsible for all of these things was gutted, you
know, I mean, and it's been understaffed ever since since
then. So and then.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying here.
That's the lazy argument that they're trying to give
ultimately, way before there wasthere was Obama two term, right,

(02:27):
Right. Then he was Trump, then he was
Biden or Trump. So it's it's everyone is to
blame. Now, the only person you can
blame right now is the governor of the state because he's
responsible for all of that. Yeah, So that's why I'm not
going to play that that we're going no, because I don't think
it's because of Trump, but because even before Trump, they
knew that was a possibility. You guys just have a you just

(02:49):
guys just have a inadequate governor in Abbott.
I don't. I never understood exactly what
most people cry about every day they find money to send
everywhere else for the things that their own country need.
They can't find it. It's mind boggling.
I never understood it. I never understood it.
But they, as I said, I want to go off on a tangent and that,

(03:09):
but yeah, my condolences to those families because I can
only imagine how you're feeling losing your loved ones like
that, you know, madness. So I keep them in my prayers.
You know, they can only learn how to live with this type of
tragedy. I don't think they'll ever get
over it. No, you're mad.

(03:30):
Yeah. Losing a kid so.
Especially actually think about it, because when it happened,
first thing I thought about was,was my niece, your daughter?
That's actually in the States ata camp, right?
And funny enough, as soon as I thought about her, she called
me. Yeah, she told She.
She called me this morning and she's like, yo, she called you
because she she said she heard about the flood and you was the

(03:52):
first person she thought about. She said.
I'm just going to call it to sayeverything is wrong.
Yes, she did. As soon as I heard about it, I
thought about her. Then I saw my phone ringing.
I'm like, wow, So respected little Denise for checking in.
But yeah, let's let's let's go off on this Formula One thing,
right? Yeah, if you want to run through

(04:12):
qualifying. Yeah.
People know what happened and give us your take on it.
Qualifying was somewhat straightforward, except for the
1st Q1 session which wasn't really that straightforward.
I believe there was a red flag, wasn't there?
Yeah. The red flag, the red flag, the
the Q1 session. I can't remember what did a red

(04:33):
flag for debris. Somebody crashed.
See, mine had already gone. I can't even remember.
But after the red flag, everybody went back out.
No, to set a time so they can make it safely through to to Q2.
But then drama started to unfoldwith none other than Ferrari and
Lewis Hamilton. Man Bailey made it through to

(04:57):
the Q3 and Q2 session. I think he finished 14th, went
back out to do his second run, didn't improve on his time but
wanted to do another run so he could improve.
I guess he felt like the tyres weren't ready so he could do
better. Only for his his race engineer
to tell him, look, we need to box and he's like why?

(05:18):
We have time, I can do a cool lap and then get another lap and
he's like, no, we need to box now.
And he was kind of like fightingback and forth, like, yo, what's
going on? But you listen to the reading
messages. It's like Ricky didn't want to
tell him what was going on, but finally told him that, yo, you
didn't haven't, you don't have enough fuel to do another lap.

(05:38):
So my thinking is, yo, what the hell is going on with this team?
So you're telling me there was ared flag?
You sat in the garage or maybe 5-10 minutes and nobody thought,
you know what, let's put a little bit more fuel in his car
just to get him out so he can domaybe 2 laps, call him back in
when couldn't respond. Everybody else was out there

(06:01):
setting lap times. He went from, I believe at the
time he was P. He's not be it.
And he just kept falling down the grid, down the grid, down
the grid. And I'm like, yo, don't tell me
he's going to get knockout Q1 athis home race.
No, if that had happened, man, Ithink Ferrari would just have to

(06:21):
pack up and go home because the what would be coming there, we
would not be acceptable anyway. Made it through.
It was also a successful was that for everybody as as you
know. So we get to Q1, the final Q3,
not Q1Q3 session. Yeah, that's when things start

(06:43):
to unfold. I thought, you know, looking at
the whole weekend to that point,I thought, you know what, Lewis
looked like he was on it from the get go from Practice 1.
He was quick, so he was in the mix.
I thought there's a possibility here that he could get a frontal
start and he was on for a frontal start position on his

(07:07):
final run in Q3, but then at thelast corner just lost pretty
much the whole time, the whole of the time that he had that
basically qualified, what, 5th, you know, best of the best of
the Ferraris. But then again, the unexpected
happen. Up pops Max Verstappen again

(07:29):
with one of those, you know, typical Max Verstappen moments a
la Suzuka this year where he just out of Norway just found a
lap because he was quick. But they were gambling on
something because from I believeit was Friday, Friday, I said
looking at the rear wing that hehad on that car, that was a
monster spec wing. There was no way that would have

(07:54):
probably worked for him in the race if it rained.
But it worked for him in qualifying because when they
showed the data, he was the quickest in the streets and on
the in the high speed stuff, butwas the last eighteenth fastest
in slow and medium speed corners.
So they banked on and even in the practice session, even with

(08:14):
that wing, his lap times were really good.
But the problem I think would have been for him is if even if
it had dried, it wasn't wet in the race, how quickly he would
have worn all those ties becausehe'd have had to push them in
those high speed sections to keep ahead of the McLaren of
Piastre and Lando, You know whatI mean?

(08:38):
But yeah, you know, he did his thing thing in qualifying up pop
to the lap. I don't think anybody could
have. Well, I think he was pretty much
I think when you looked at the comparison actually Oscar was
ahead up until he lost all of the again, just like Lewis and
even same thing for Charles in the last sector.

(09:02):
The last corner pretty much madea mistake and lost all the time.
But that lap time from Max was blister and he was the only one
who went in the 20 fourths and of Paul Oscar second, Lander 3rd
and then Norway, George Russell leapfrog both Ferraris and put
his on 4th, Louis 5th, Charles 6th, who was 7th.

(09:27):
Kimmy Antonelli was seventh, whowas eighth again.
You know, hold on, let me just double check so I can, you know,
probably should have known this off top or made because the race
is pretty much there. But remember, you don't have to
read out all qualifying lists because people can already know
that information. Yeah, yeah.
But I'm just saying so, yeah. Who was it before the penalties

(09:47):
were applied? So, yeah.
But as he as I said, we know howthat went and that was the grid
ready for for the race on Sunday.
Obviously some people got some penalties.
As we know, Kimmy Antonelli had his three place penalty carried
over from. Canada.
Canada. No, not Canada.
Austria. Austria, yeah.

(10:08):
Austria, Yeah, from his crash taking out Max Max in Austria.
And then Ollie Bierman got a 10 place grid penalty for Dumb.
Something really stupid that he did that he shouldn't have done
in that red flag in the practicesession.
I think it was FP3 practice session.
Yeah, got a 10 place good penalty.
But you know, that was pretty much qualifying in a nutshell.

(10:31):
You know, the only really surprised there was pretty much,
I'm not saying Max just delivering another Max
Verstappen time lap and pretty much that was it took his, I
believe this is what he got Paulin.
What else did he get Paul? He got Paul in Suzuka.
He got Paul here. Here.
No. Is it?
Is it the only poll he had this year?

(10:52):
No, I don't have. English he had.
Zuka he had, he had the British Grand Prix.
Yeah. And Bruce was young Paul.
He was on Paul somewhere else. Yeah, hold on.
I'll tell you, Saudi Arabia, Saudi.
Arabia. My.
He's got a few poll this season.Yeah.
So he has, he has four polls, which, yeah, he has four.

(11:14):
I think Oscar has the most to create.
Yeah, I think Oscar has. I think they're Oscar, him and
Oscar tied with four. Ando has three and George
Russell has 1. So that's twelve.
Yeah. Anyway, as I said, that's pretty
much what happened on on on Saturday.

(11:37):
And so now we can just move overto to Sunday where the big boys,
where it all went down, where itall went down.
Yeah, Sunday came in Sunday morning, wet did the they did.
Was it the the formation lab? I think, I think Sunday morning

(11:58):
when they woke up. I think Sunday morning when they
woke up and they opened the wind, the blinds, the most
annoyed person of anybody would have been Max Verstappen,
because he knew. When he's running.
He knew rain would have killed his basically killed his race
because that rear wing was nevergoing to give him the the level

(12:19):
of downforce that he wanted in that in those conditions.
I you know, you can tell him he was probably pissed because he
knew, yeah, that this, I can't win this race.
No, I, I need a miracle. And, and to me, I think it was a
sign of desperation, but. Let me accident waking up Sunday

(12:39):
morning, you realize it's going to be a wet race.
Would you have taken the gamble to take the car to park for me?
Well, at that point he would have started from the pit lane.
Yeah, it's a wet race, yeah, buthe's going to come through that
field, yeah. But again, it wouldn't really
have made any difference to his race, would it?

(13:01):
So if you take him out and you put him and you start him from
the pit lane, by the end of the first lap he'd probably be 10
seconds down to the last place car probably be a full already a
pit stop behind the leading car.So he might as well just leave
him where he is and then let himwork from that.
It's not like Max Verstappen. If he gambled, if he took such a
gambling and realized that that that that man's a spec wing is

(13:24):
not going to work, you might as well gamble again and just take
the card apart from me and put it in a situation where safety
cars everything you in a wet race, there's ever possibility
you could put yourself back in the race.
Yeah. But to what extent it would put
him back in the race? Would it put him in that he
could challenge for the win? I don't think he would be able
to challenge from the win if he had started from the pitling.

(13:47):
I just don't see it because the Mclarens are just that that good
of a car. So you might as well just leave
him where he is and let him dealwith it to the best of his
ability. And I think he would have been
he would have been fine. But if you say take him out of
the grid of the grid just. Change the way.
I, I don't know, I think Apodiumwould have been again, it

(14:11):
probably would have if it if therace panned out, how it panned
it out panned out if the same scenario happened.
Everything that happened on Sunday and based on what he went
through, even a Pitling star probably would have ended up on
the podium. Yeah, provided everything's the
same set of scenarios played outwith the VSC and the safety cars
and so on, then probably that would have helped him.

(14:32):
But you know, hindsight is 20. I'm just looking at the gamble.
I'm just looking at the gamble of that's why I was saying that
if you because you know, all right, and with the type of
setup that I've got in the rain,I'm doomed.
So I might as well as start fromthe pit lane with a setup that I
know can actually work in the rain.
Yeah, I guess. But you did.
But you. Yeah, but you weren't.

(14:52):
I don't know. I think that would be a bigger,
much bigger gamble because again, he has to let every,
every car pass the, the pit exitbefore he's allowed to, to, to
go. So by the time he's let out the
pit and the speed, the time it takes him to get out the pit

(15:14):
again, he'd be well done even onthe last place car.
So first and second would have been miles up the road for him.
And even third, you know, I don't think he was, I don't
think he would have, would have worked any different for him.
So he might, you know, might as well just leave him where he is
and let him go and do his thing,which he was pretty much doing

(15:35):
because I mean, he took the lead, he led the first lap and I
think he pulled out maybe a second and a half on Oscar for
about the 1st 55 laps or so. And then you start to see the
problem that I'm starting to rear his head because, you know,
his interest started to go off quicker than any quicker than

(15:57):
the Mclarens because again, theyhad the Dawn force to deal with
the conditions. And again, the McLaren is just
that good. It looks after ties that better
than everybody else. And you just knew it was a
matter of time before they catchhim and passed him.
And that's pretty much what happened.
Granted, he did make a mistake in the Maggots Beckett's

(16:18):
complex, which basically gave Oscar to run on him.
Oscar blew past him, pulled awaywithin two laps.
I, I think Oscar had the, the gap up to like 5 seconds within
two laps of passing him. And he just realized, yeah, he
was there. He was pretty much done once he,
I think, which is why, you know,the rain really messed up his,

(16:41):
his weekend because he felt, I think he felt like if it didn't
rain, he could keep them up because he was fastest in
sectors 1 and 2. So for him, he'd be looking
like, OK, let me try and build within these two sectors, see if
I can build myself a second and a half and gradually build it,
build it, build it. Because, you know, he's not

(17:01):
losing that much in sector 3. So if he can build it over up to
a second, two seconds based on those two sectors, then he
probably think, yeah, I can control the race from with this
sort of advantage. I just need to be quicker, you
know, you know, make up my time in those two sectors.
But yeah, Rain put pay to that and he was pretty much it was a

(17:24):
case of when they were going to pass him, not if they were going
to pass him. He was, he was banking and and
and and and and Mark. Mark is ascent strategy.
Just be fast in all the right places.
You'll be all right. Yeah, but that didn't panel what
I was like. I must say, like, you know,
despite how people feel about Max, I'm watching that racing

(17:47):
that I did. He gave me a bit of excitement.
Just the way I knew that car wasjust in the wrong situation in
that type of weather and he was just hanging on to it, right?
Apart from when he's found out after the restart.
But even when Oscar was chasing him down, which one of the
corners did he come out of? Like this drift in that thing?
I'm like. Marcus.
It was the Marcus and Beckett's complex.

(18:08):
Oh, it's got the thing that I got that I have to give Max that
I realized Max, right? Is that is he is, he's got
impeccable car control, right? That's one of the things because
we really see Max spin a car. If I remember correctly the last
time I saw Max spun a car, I could be wrong.

(18:31):
Australia, 2023. Right.
His car control is is topped here.
You know the boys got the juice,right?
So yeah, but yeah, let's let's keep going.
So with with that being said, soOO passed him.
Matt and then no. Did Lando pass him?

(18:54):
Yeah, Lando did get past him. And then it stopped by the by
the time Oscar passed, Lando passed him.
Oscar had something like a 10 second lead already.
That's so much. That's just shows you how much
performance the Mclarens had over him.
They were literally like it was F, it was F1, and then there was

(19:14):
F1, BF 1B class. Everybody else they were in,
there were the Class A class andeverybody else was in like Tier
2 of Formula One. That's how much performance they
had. But he then got a bit lucky as
well. He then got lucky after because
they had to pit again because when the rain finally came

(19:36):
started to come down, they had to pit again for new interests
and McLaren messed up. Landers stuck, his front left
got stuck and it wouldn't come off as we saw.
And because of that Max basically jumped him again.
I was back into P2, you know, and then the race got started
again and then they had to red flag it.
And again, because the conditions were I, I agree with

(19:57):
that, that they needed to red flag it at that point in time
because you couldn't see anything.
The drivers, because you know, me, I watched the races from
Lewis's on board and I even I, I'm watching from a, you know,
camera miles away and I could barely see who was in front of
him. You can you can imagine what
they were seeing. And then factor in that ajar

(20:19):
running into the back of Antonelli because again, he
couldn't see anything. All he could out of Norway just
saw three red lights flashing. Boom, too late. rear-ended Kimmy
pretty much destroyed its diffuser, took him out the race
and that was it for him. By that time, Lewis had moved up
to P4. Ferrari then pitted him from P4

(20:43):
and dropped to P8. And he was literally confused,
like, how did I lose that much position?
They're telling him, oh, you gotundercut.
They pitted him to two laps too late.
I think the only person at that point in time in the race made
the right calls was Landstraw. Landstraw.
Yeah, because he was the one that pitted for the the Softs

(21:05):
just before the rain came. I think he had maybe four or
five laps on the SAF and he was able to keep it on track and
just pump in laps after laps after laps, and he just brought
him back, right back into the play.
Boom, he was in. Yeah.
Yeah, he was in fourth, I think.What what was it?

(21:25):
It was Oscar, Max Lando, Lance Hulkenberg, because he went from
P-19, all Kimber was P-19 at thestart of the race.
So they call their strategy, made their strategy calls at the
right time and he went from P-19to 5th as they started in the
top 10. So he made it, you know, so he

(21:48):
moved up a position as few position as well.
Yeah, again, I, I know a lot of people were a bit annoyed with
the red flag and saying, you know, it shouldn't, they
shouldn't have red flag. But when you look at the
conditions, it made sense that they it had to be red flag
because that was really dangerous initially.
I didn't understand. I didn't understand but then I
realized they red flagged it forvisibility.

(22:10):
Yeah, that's what they did and. And sometimes they they could do
a better job of letting people know what why they actually red
flagged the race because everyone is looking like, why is
the race red flagged again? Then Francis had to figure out,
oh, it's for visibility. Yeah, I think Brenda mentioned
it. Well, I don't know which feed
most people have, but I'm on theSky feed, but I believe that's

(22:30):
the that's the one you get for the international feed as well,
the Sky broadcast commentary. So Brenda was pretty much
saying, yeah, it has to be for visibility.
It's not for danger or anything like that, even though people
were going off left, right and centre, but it was more so for
visibility. Yeah, yeah, more for visibility,

(22:51):
not actually track condition. Yeah, 'cause I think the track
conditions were fine. If you're on, if you're on the
right tires, you're pretty much fine.
You are good. The inters would have.
Definitely, that's what I was saying.
In your spaces you you can't redflag arrays for track conditions
when you haven't even run full wet.
That would be crazy. Well, technically you could,
because if the conditions had gotten so bad whereby wets, wets

(23:16):
were required, they could and cars were going off left, right
and centre, they could have red flag it still, yeah, but.
That's what I'm saying. That would look crazy.
When you've got a wet tire, you're an intern.
So you get apart from your your dry tires, you get 2 type of wet
tires, you get intermediate, youget a full wet.
Yeah. You red flag a race without even
running the wets. I'm just like bro you crazy but

(23:38):
but. What I'm saying is if everybody
was on inters and then the downpour became so heavy and
consistent, and then you start realizing, yeah, the inters
aren't good for these conditionsand people are sliding off the
track, etcetera, etcetera. I think in those circumstances,
they definitely would red flag it still because you realize,

(23:59):
look, people are dropping on thewrist, yeah.
In that situation, by the time you probably expect F1 drivers
have been doing it for so long, know when to pit for wet times,
right? But you know what?
You know, people, you have to understand sometimes you have to
protect drivers from themselves because some will probably
think, you know, we can hang it out.
I can hang it out in these conditions until the conditions

(24:22):
improve. So sometimes you have to protect
them from themselves. Yeah.
So yeah, with all that being said, it turned out that safety
car or so we had two safety car,but the second one is it was the
most important one, which was the what's his name?
PS. No, Ulkenberg's teammate

(24:45):
Bortaletto. Bortaletto, that was his
incident, was the second safety car.
Man, put it in the wall. Yeah, and we all know what
happened since after that PS3 slam down was 65 PSI of brick.
I think, I think that's what I say went from 218 KPH to 52 KPH

(25:08):
and they deemed that erratic. But based on I read an article I
believe yesterday from is it Noble or Mark Hughes, I believe
it was Marques or one of them. I can't even sometimes I can't
even differentiate between the two of them.
We said apparently the stewards were actually keeping an eye on
what PSU were doing was doing before because under the first

(25:28):
safety car, he had done the samething.
And they were they were like, OK, this seems a bit, you know,
suspect. Let's keep an eye to see what
what he's going to do. And again, he did the same thing
again. And I've heard people say, well,
the penalty was a bit unfair because, you know, the lights on
the safety car had gone out and he's not the defector safety

(25:51):
car. But like the rule clip pretty
much clearly states you can't doan erratic driving behind the
safety car. No sudden acceleration and then
sudden deceleration again. You know, we talk about, we have
examples of him in the article. He mentioned what happened in

(26:11):
Majello in 2020, you know, with Bottas where he was the people
at the back of the grid actuallythought those when in front of
them at accelerated because theystarted and then they slowed
down suddenly because of Bottas did pretty much came to a crawl
and he caused a whole back accident behind everybody.

(26:32):
And I think, and again, that's why the rule is in place.
So why he did did Max exaggeratethe situation a bit?
Absolutely. But did Oscar put himself in
that position on his of his own doing?
Yeah, he caused that himself. And I don't think he, you know,
he, there was much else. Basically, once you looked at

(26:52):
it, you thought you can understand why the penalty was
given. Was it too harsh?
What I mean, I'm sure as we might discuss after the race,
they have a list of penalties that they could have given him.
And if that's the most lenient, he probably got the most lenient
of all of them. I I have a problem with that,

(27:14):
not the penalty. What you just said was said in
the article that the stewards, the fact that you, you think
that there's a possibility if you think that this guy is doing
something that could cause a serious accident, right?
That you're sitting down in thatstore in that steward room and
you're thinking, OK, let's watchthis.

(27:35):
Rather than say to the teammate,he's doing some stuff, tell him
to get it together. Because if you're just sitting
there waiting for for it to happen and then it turns out to
be catastrophic, bro, you're culpably in that for me.
I don't, I don't think, I don't think so.
I don't think it's. I don't think.
I get what you're trying to say.Yeah, I think you're coupled

(27:57):
because ultimately if you're saying that you, you, you think
something is a bit off, right. And bear in mind, the result of
the thing that you think is off,if he does it again, could be
catastrophic. And you're sitting here waiting.
Let's see if he does it again. No, you should read Hey tell
your minds that what he did on the 1st that wasn't that was a
bit borderline. Tell him to be careful at that

(28:20):
point because slamming on the anchors bro you could have a
chain effect right? Yeah.
You're telling me that you thinkthis driver is a possibility, he
could do this, but you just sat there waiting for it to happen.
You're culpable in that, in thatmoment for me.
I get. I can't see where you're coming
from. You're pretty much saying that

(28:40):
they should basically kind of like, you know, we didn't.
But I think, I think probably why they didn't say anything
about the first one, because there was nothing, it didn't
create a situation like it did the second time around.
And that's what I'm saying. The fact that they picked up on
it and they started to watch it,it means that they felt

(29:02):
something was wrong and they probably felt like, well, this
looked like looks like looks like a behavior.
So guess what? Tell Oscar what he did.
You're looking at it and tell him to get it together because
if you're to sit your way and, well, let's watch.
And then say, for instance, the second time he did it, Max run

(29:22):
into him. Lander, run into Max.
Yeah, For me, you're a couple because you've been watching and
you knew it was kind of on on the edge.
You should have tell his team towarn him about it.
I get. Yeah, I can see where you're
coming from. But at the same time, like I
said, I can see why they probably didn't say anything to
him. Because again, it didn't create
a scenario, a situation whereby they needed to say, oh, hey,

(29:43):
hey, hey, hey. I think if if it had taken some
form of avoiding action the first time around or something
and it created like a like a bottleneck effect, then they
probably would have said, hey, look, what he did was just kind
of like last borderline, tell him to not do that.
But at the same time, you know what the rules are behind the
safety card. You know you can't because

(30:05):
Oscar's argument is, yo, I did it before and they didn't say
anything. So I guess that's what, so
that's what alerted the stewards.
So they realized what he did at that first point in time.
I'm like, OK, let's see if he does this again.
And I guess. And that's where my argument
comes in, because if he's sayingI didn't already, they didn't

(30:26):
say anything. And then they're looking, say,
let's see if he does again. That's that's you're culpable,
bro, you know what I'm saying? But again, it's.
About there and then. Yeah.
But again, that's not their responsibility, is it?
They're they're there to oversee.
I'm not saying it's their responsibility, but if you think
a driver is doing something thatcould ever be catastrophic,

(30:48):
probably catastrophic is a strong word, right?
If you deem a driver's doing something that could cause like
accidents, right, Even if it's not catastrophic, but it could
wipe out a couple cars because of the chain effect, the chain
reaction, right? You need to say something.
Yeah, but we also need to be. Warned from like, hey, be
careful because that was a bit borderline.

(31:09):
Yeah, but we also need to remember that that's the risk
directors responsibility, not the stewards, because what
happened is. They were responsible for it.
Yeah, that that I keep somewhat agree with you the race that,
but then again the stewards. Because with a lot of things, if
you do track limits says, I want, hey, don't do that again,
you're going to get a slap, right?

(31:30):
I think it should be the same. If you see a driver with a
certain pattern, If you see a driver with a certain pattern
that could turn out to be an accident, you need to let the
team let him know that, hey, stop doing that.
Yeah, wait for it to happen. Because when you wait for it to
happen, it could be it could be a a dangerous thing.
Too late. It could be too late.

(31:51):
Yeah, I get. I get where you, I get where
you're coming from. But it's like I said, at the
same time, I can somewhat understand why they didn't
intervene as well. But it was silly of Oscar to do,
you know what I mean? It was it was extremely silly of
him to do. And I think and like I said, I
mentioned in the tweet, yeah, I mentioned in the tweet that when

(32:13):
Max two people are behind you, behind a safety car, you don't
want to do anything because these guys will over exaggerate
anything. And that's Max and Alonso.
They'll do anything to get you apenalty.
So they will over exaggerate something like kissing point.
Alonso was a couple years ago, you know, I believe it was a pit
stop came out behind the Mercedes.

(32:35):
I can't remember if I think he was behind Louis and he started
to weave his steering wheel, like to exaggerate like, yo, you
know, that was an unsafe release, et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera, to try and get Lewis a penalty.
But then when you look at look back at the video, Lewis was
pretty much he was like 3 or 4 seconds behind Lewis.
Lewis pulled out, but he did that in the attempt to get him a

(32:59):
penalty. So you have to be careful with
with them guys because they're pretty much, you know, they play
the game differently to to everybody else at at times
that's what it's meant. I can't deal with Max bro, I
cannot deal with Alonzo. Once you're part of.
Crash Gate, bro. I I just lost all respect for
you. Yeah, he's just irrelevant to me
when it comes down to F1. And the history of F is

(33:19):
irrelevant once you're involved in that nasty piece of work that
happened. Crash gate where you're
nonexistent for me bro. And you know, you know my, you
know my feelings, Was Alonso already?
I can up Alonso and not all in them accountable.
You know my, you know my feelings towards Alonzo already.
Yeah. Anyway, but that that that

(33:39):
incident, then they noted that incident and they restarted the
race. I think Mike's head was hot at
that moment. I think his head was hot.
And I think that's what caused him to have that spin coming out
of store. I think he was a bit like, he
was a bit tough, like yo, he, hedidn't because again, it's not
like it happened. He didn't gather himself

(34:00):
properly. Before, yeah, it's not like
there was a lot after. This was right after the the
safety car light went out. It happened.
So once the safety car went in, they went racing.
And I think he just got, he didn't really gather himself
like he said and probably just asked too much of the car coming
out of the store and it's it's spot.
Not only that, it could also be a fact that his inters were cold

(34:24):
because again, he didn't have the downforce.
He couldn't probably couldn't generate enough heat into the
ties to get them to work at thisat that time.
And as a result, he spun and he fell from what P3 down to I
think he's felt something like P13 or some.

(34:44):
He felt weird on the back the grid.
And that's when his race pretty much started to unravel again.
Before I even I even forgot to mention it.
That safety car ruined Oscar's race in another way as well,
because before that safety car came out, he was something like

(35:06):
13 seconds ahead of Max and Lando.
And this was when Lando was behind Max after that pit stop
bought that botched pit stop. So if that.
Which is what I said to you in your space is like when when
Bartlett took car Bono and he and he ripped off his rear wing,
right? What annoyed me the most in that

(35:29):
race in that moment, I'm like, I'm sure you drove past many
different places where you couldpull a car in by one of those
trackside gate where they could pull the car off the track.
But one second, I can't blame him.
The team should have told him, hey, man, your rear wing is
gone. Just pull off the car somewhere
safe where they could recover the car.
He pulled it off and cost a safety car and I was annoyed.

(35:51):
Yeah, I think I got, I think I got it.
I think I got it mixed up because yeah, that was the last
safety car. I think I got it mixed up with
the safety car. Before that was when it was
really wet, but that's when it came down really.
Oscar had something like a 13 second lead, second lead over
over Max and Landa at that point.
So I think. What you're talking about is the

(36:12):
ajar crash. Yeah, that was the first.
Safety. Car.
Yeah, that's that's when, yeah, that was when Ajar went into the
back of Kimmy. Yeah, I could understand that.
What happened with ajar, That's yeah, that that could happen
based on visibility. But the the the Bartlett one, I
was so annoyed. I'm like.
Yeah, he could have found somewhere better to park.

(36:32):
Yeah. You pulled, you drove off and
then those parked the car where they can't recover it quickly.
Like come on dude. Like.
Yeah, he should have. But The thing is, I think they
might have told him to park the car immediately because if he
had carried on they probably would have given him a bit a
posterous penalty. Because the rule is if your car
is damaged to the point whereby it's shed in debris, you should

(36:55):
not drive it on track. You should park it up somewhere
quickly out of the way so they can recover the vehicle.
And that's my thing. I'm saying I'm sure we drove
past access roads. Yeah, it probably did it.
Probably. Did ruined like just bro, like
come on your team, and that's the thing sometime with these
teams y'all y'all know is hey man, pull over the car down here

(37:18):
somewhere. They could access the car.
You just pull it off somewhere random and then safety car that
wasn't. I was so annoyed, but I'm like
all right and whatever right, but ultimately Oscar cost
himself the race right. Despite everything that
happened, he cost himself the race with that with what he did
under the safety car restart. So we can't even.
Yeah, he can't. Can't blame anybody.

(37:39):
Can't blame anybody for that. And again, that 10 second
penalty was really, yeah, that'spretty much what ruined his
race. But at the same time, even
before that, he had, I believe he had over a three to four
second gap to Lando. And Lando started to eat into

(38:02):
that time. Lando ate into that time whereby
he brought it down to about justunder 2 seconds.
So I think even if that penalty was it at that point in time in
the race, I believe it was, evenif that hadn't happened, it
looked to me like Lando had the pace that he probably would
have, could have caught him and passed him.

(38:23):
Because in previous races in situations like that where Oscar
saw Lando eating into his lead, he would have been able to
respond and just like to say, Lando, yo, cool it off, dude.
I've got a pace and then that I can, you know, respond.
But he didn't look like he had the pace, you know, to to hold

(38:43):
him off. But either way, he handed Lando
a a free, a free pass. And Lando duly took it.
And Lando duly took it because when?
Because look at the The funny thing is, he had to pit some
luck to. Go his way, too.
Yeah, because he had some Lando has had some bad luck in himself

(39:04):
because look at it this way. When he when he pit it, they had
to pit him before Lando, so theycouldn't double S that because
Lando pit. So basically because of that,
Lando pitted one lap later than they'd actually planned 'cause
it 10 seconds. So they had to wait 10 seconds.
So if a normal pit stop is what pit stop lasts, total pit stop
lasts is what, 25 seconds? So he lasts 35 seconds.

(39:27):
But the The thing is when he pitted right and when Lando
finally pitted, because when Lando, when he pitted, Lando was
about a second and a half behindhim.
When Landa came back out, Oscar was only like maybe 5 1/2
seconds behind Lando. So that one lap that Lando

(39:49):
stayed out and Oscar was able torun and somewhat full pelt, he
came back 5 seconds of that 10 seconds that he lost.
And we and I thought, OK, the race is on.
He could actually, let's see if they can actually battle for the
win. But.
He went off he. Made a mistake.

(40:10):
He made a mistake. I believe it was around the same
maggots Becketts cops maggots Becketts complex area.
He made a mistake or went off and then but you could see that.
I think Lando had the pace to literally cover him and that was
pretty much his race over and done with.
Max started having turret time in the pack because he was

(40:33):
complaining. He was bitching like crazy, man.
Like your car's hard to drive this and that and etcetera.
And like, yeah, he had a he had a somewhat.
His weekend started on a high and ended with a plump.
Yeah, but I'm still going to dieon the hill that I think based
on everything that happened to him to come home in 5th, it's
still it turned out even it turned out to be a good weekend

(40:56):
based on how it could have ended.
I disagree it. Could have turned out way worse.
It could. Have I disagree?
I disagree. I I can't see how you look at it
and say it's still a good weekend.
He qualified on pole. He was running P3, was running
P2 when he spun right fell all the way even without the points.

(41:20):
OK recovered to 5th. But the point here is he lost
four positions. He if he hadn't spun out, he
would have probably finished on the podium.
But he spun out. I'm looking.
At that cost what happened I'm not looking at relative to what
he where he started. I'm looking to if you look at
the race it could have been a non scoring weekend based on
what happened. Based on the spin that he had.

(41:42):
Yeah, it could have been a non score.
No, I don't think so, because it's because the spin he had was
pretty much at low speed and it was, it wasn't really in a
dangerous area. So once it was able to really
come. Across facing the barriers and
he just correctly he caught it in time to to face.
Back, yeah, but but what I'm saying is the speed was
relatively low, doesn't matter. So it wasn't really.

(42:04):
It doesn't matter in wet conditions.
You get a spin, there's a possibility you're going to meet
the barriers, right, just based on the track being wet.
So the fact that he didn't kiss the barriers and he finished
fifth, basing everything that happened to him.
Yeah, but that was only that wasthe only thing that happened to
him in the race. Right.
So it's it's just, that's what I'm saying, all it took was for
that to end up to not end up howit ended up.

(42:27):
It could have been a non score weekend for him.
Yeah. I so to recover back to 5th.
It could have been worse. Yeah, I had a whole.
Lot worse for him that weekend. I don't know.
I I disagree with it. Probably could, yes, it probably
could have been a whole lot worse from it for him, but it
wasn't. But I don't think I'd look at it
as saying, you know, he still had a good weekend.

(42:47):
No, he lost. That spin cost him more points
to the championship leaders thatit would have cost him if he was
if he finished third. I'm looking at that like same
thing like happened to Mark and Alex in Silverstone.
Race start they both crashed right race restarted they didn't
have the pace. So when you look at it, it could
have been a non score. So even though.

(43:09):
They yeah, I'm not disputing. I'm not disputing the the part
that I'm looking at it, it couldhave it could have ended up not
scoring. That's all you're saying.
Based on the fact that he was able to score points meant it
was somewhat of a good weekend for him.
What I'm saying here is my content that that is I can't see
like that because again, he qualified on Paul.
He finished finished fifth because he made a mistake and

(43:31):
the points lost to the to because he's the closest to the
top 2. The points lost to the top 2 was
became greater than it would have if he had finished third
because if he had finished third, give me up.
If he had finished third and Oscar wonder is he'd have only
lost three points to land Lando.Cuz Lando would have get gotten

(43:54):
18, he would have gotten 15 and he would have lost 10 to the
winner. But by finishing fifth, which
basically is 10 points, he lost 15 to the winner and a further 5
to 2nd place compared to the three that he would have lost
the three. So overall he would have lost

(44:16):
between the top 2. Total points lost to the top two
would have been 10 points if he had finished third.
But over a last to the top 2 went up from 10 to what's that
AT? What's that, 1015?
So he lost, yeah. So it's a bigger points lost for

(44:38):
him. So for a guy that came into the
weekend with the setup that he had, everyone said he was not
going to win the race if it was with.
So worst case scenario is third,right?
Third, yes. OK, worst case scenario is third
he. So bear mind in the wet they're
saying it's the worst situation for him in the wet with the
setup that he had, right? Yeah.
What? Happened drifting out of the

(44:59):
corners, everything happened spinning in the car, everything
that happened to him, right? And for him to come back in a
car that was supposed to be deadin the wet above the two places
after we were expected. That's a good weekend bro.
No, I disagree because that reasoning is.
No, I disagree with that becauseagain, because in his best.

(45:21):
Position would have been third in the wet with a car that
should not have been working in the wet, right?
Right. No, I didn't say it wasn't gonna
work in the wet. It worked in the wet.
The question was would he have been able to hold off the
Mclarens in the way with that set up?
That wasn't going to happen. So the worst case scenario for
him would have been third, whichwould still be a positive for

(45:44):
him. But again, he didn't finish
third because he made a mistake which put him down at the well
are the points. So now he has to recover those
positions so I can't. Again, he didn't fall to 5th
because of the performance of the car.
He fell to that position becausehe made a mistake.
Yeah, but that doesn't matter. And he recovered it to 5th.

(46:06):
He recovered it to a lot of carsbecause let me ask you this, in
the Red Bull and the trim with the load on force wing that he
was running, should it have beenbetter than the Ferrari and the
Mercedes? Based on yeah, yeah, because
again, he would have finished, he would have finished third, so
he would have been better than the Ferrari and the Mercedes.
Yeah. So as I said, with different

(46:27):
difference of familiar difference of opinions, I just
think based on everything that he went through to finish 5th,
it's it's a recovery weekend forhim because it.
Could but what did he go through?
Words. But what did he go through?
He knew again, they knew there was there was a four pass.
Yeah, I was saying the car that he was running is dead in the
wet. Right.
Yes. Yes, he made a mistake.
He spun out right drop all the way about into what, 14th and

(46:50):
recovered it back to 5th. That's a good weekend.
That's a good recovery drive. Set a drive, set, set a drive.
OK, you can set a drive back up to fifth was a good recovery,
but the overall performance on the weekend wasn't a good
weekend, wasn't positive becauseagain, he made him, he put
himself in a precarious situation by having that spin.

(47:12):
And again, they went into that weekend knowing for them to win,
they needed it to be dry. And again, most of the forecast
leading up to the weekend was saying that the chances of rain
was 35%, which means there was a65% chance there was no rain.
So I think they banked on, OK, we don't think it's going to

(47:33):
rain. But again, it's I think it was
35% chance of chance of rain, which means there's a 65% chance
there was no rain going to come.And this is England, but you
need to switch. Exactly.
So that so that changed. Did it rain on the Saturday?
I don't believe it rained on theSaturday.
So it started to rain on the Sunday morning.

(47:55):
So, OK. Or did it rain on the did it
rain for the because I didn't watch the F2 qualifying and the
and the I think the the, the Sprint race, did it rain?
Yeah, it did rain. It did rain on Saturday for the
Sprint race, if I remember correctly.
Yeah, I think it did. But either way, they took a

(48:16):
gamble and the gamble didn't payoff.
So I that was their that was their own doing.
So I'm not going to. Yeah, he made a mistake.
And you know, he cast himself more position, that more
position than he needed to, and he's no further behind than he
would have been in the championship to Oscar.
Granted, he only lost at that six points on key 10th.

(48:39):
So he lost eight points to Oscarbecause he finished with 10
points and he lost 15 points to Lando.
And unless Red Bull create a rocket ship for the second-half
of the sea. 11, yeah. I mean, I think Max pretty much
knows the championship for him is over because that gap,
because now he's what? He's on 100 and he's on 165

(49:05):
points, so he's already 50. Oh no, 61 points behind Lando,
and Lando is a further 7 points.Eight points here.
And ask Oscar says what? That's what, 6969 points?

(49:27):
Well, Max, to have a chance, RedBull would have to do what they
did even though they lost. They would have to have that
type of development development through the second-half of the
season and McLaren would have tostart.
It would have to have like a theO Nine run that they have at the
back end of the season When theydeveloped that car, when several
almost beat Jensen, we were likethey were just Wheeling it off.

(49:49):
Right. But MacLean ain't going to
stall. This ain't Brown.
Yeah, I can't see unless, as I said, MacLean raced himself out
of the championship. I can't see Max be champions.
But the only way MacLean could race himself out of the
championship is if they take each other out of races, because
as long as they're finishing thepoints and they're finishing on
the podium, it's going to be difficult for Max to even win
the champion. He'd need to win pretty much

(50:10):
every single race in the second-half of the season.
But when I say race himself out of championship, that's exactly
what I'm talking about. Yeah, they're not going to come
to blows. Well, they did once, but I don't
see that. I don't see.
That with with what happened in in Canada.
Canada, yeah, obviously that wasa misjudgment by by Lando.

(50:30):
Lando. I wouldn't really class that as
a racing themselves out of it. You're going to come to blows,
bro, because it's going to come now.
You see now it's seven points, eight points.
Eight points. If it keeps running like this,
you're going to come to blows atsome point.
Like, really? Blows.
Yeah, Well, this goes back to, and it also goes back to I said
in the last episode what we did for the the Austrian review last

(50:55):
week. And I said, if Lando picks up
momentum, if Lando wins all the races going into the summer
break, Oscar is going to test how Oscar's medal is.
How is he going to recover from that?
Because again, Lando, I think Lando just needed a bit of some
clean weekends. He had a clean.
I think he had a clean weekend on this weekend, past weekend.

(51:19):
I don't think Oscar. On Sunday, well, I think he
knows, even if he didn't agree with the with the penalty, he
knows. He knows why he lost that race.
He knows he didn't lose. He knows he didn't lose that
race based off pace. Yeah, he didn't know.
He knew he didn't lose that race.
I'm just pure pace of being outdone by Orlando.
So I'm sure he slept well Sundaynight.

(51:39):
Apart from the same time, yeah, but at the same time he would
have probably looked at the raceand realized that Lando was
pretty much if if he's if he's being brutally honest was
probably quicker than him over the over the weekend in the
race. But we'll we'll never know for
certain because again, that's what I'm saying yeah, that's
what I'm saying but Lando was eating into took all took all

(52:01):
reduces nearly 4 second leads to1 1/2 seconds.
So again, like I said, in that sense we probably won't know if
Lando was really quicker becausethe the penalty pretty much
scorpered that any possible possibility of them fighting.
It was a 5 second penalty they gave him.
We would have seen all differentrates.

(52:22):
They would have. They would have pretty much been
neck and neck. I can.
You know, it would have been probably like a second or, or
Lando probably would have if he had a good stop.
He would have probably come backup maybe a second or just on the
second ahead of Oscar because Oscar's out lap was blistering.
Like I said, he took basically 5seconds.
He gained back 5 seconds of that10 second penalty in one lap.

(52:47):
Yeah, but another thing and he. Got it this weekend, so let's
see what happens Moving. But let's talk about Oscar
asking Oscar asking to give the posit because he said, because
apparently they said to him overthe radio they didn't think he
did anything wrong for the penalties.
Obviously they're going to speakto the stewards.

(53:08):
I'm somewhat challenged. And he went, well, if you don't
think I did anything and then give me back the position.
I'm like, dude, come on, stop that.
Stop. That wasn't.
It sarcasm though. I don't.
I don't know if it was sarcasm or it was serious.
Telling me that you telling me that you didn't deserve it?
If you're not good, I don't wantto hear that.
It must have been some sarcasm to it.

(53:29):
There's no way it was serious. It does.
We'd like to think it was sarcasm.
Because he's so you exactly can't tell if it's sarcasm or
not. I think it was sarcasm.
There's no way it was serious. Well, we'd like to think he was
being sarcastic, but if he was really serious and asked for the
position, yeah, that's that's crazy because I think it's

(53:49):
similar to Lander last year. Was it last Hungary last year?
Yeah, Hungry last year, asked him in a similar situation.
But yeah, that was a bit funny though, from Oscar.
Like, dude, come on, man, you got a penalty.
You want him to give you the position back for you, for your
own transgression? No, that's not going to happen.
But landed took the opportunity,undertook the gift that was

(54:12):
given to him. You know what I mean?
It's not always second. It's his second win on the
bones, which is I believe is thefirst time he's won back-to-back
races. Has he ever won back-to-back
races before? Don't go on this please.
No, no, it's the first time. So it's the first time he's won
back-to-back races because he only started doing last year.
So it's the first time he's won back-to-back races.

(54:34):
Which matches Oscar's won done what, 300 track, Bahrain, Saudi
Arabia and Miami. No, no, he's done.
So Lando in the last five races,have won three of the last five
races. Yeah.
He didn't score in Canada. So he has won three of the last
five races. And his worst finishing position
was Saudi Arabia, where he finished fourth with 12 points.

(54:56):
Oscar's worst, Oscar's worst. Oscar's worst finish was
Australia, he only picked up twopoints for 9th and again in
Canada he finished fourth. So Lando's only been off the
podium when he has finished the races once this year and that
was Saudi Arabia. Oscar has been twice for him.

(55:16):
So Championship is well, well and truly back on, you know what
I mean? Yeah.
What? Yeah.
Kudos to Land. He needed some luck and he got
it this weekend. Let's let's make sure he makes
use of the momentum. Yeah, but.
But yeah. But the man at the moment
though, and the man of the man of the moment, Nicole

(55:38):
Hulkenberg, 200, the man at the record for the longest amount of
races in Formula without a podium, 239 races finally came
to an end. And as pissed as I am that Lewis
wasn't able to catch and pass him, we discussed that Lewis
thing in the, in the I think, I think giving Hulkenberg, I'm I'm

(55:59):
not really a big fan of Hulkenberg, but Hulkenberg is a
handy driver. He's good enough.
I think if he was in better teams, if he had driven for one
of the bigger teams, maybe he would have accomplished more in
his career. I think at one point he was
close to joining Ferrari, but I can't remember why the deal
didn't go through. That's one of the things that
always got me with Ulkenberg, because when Ulkenberg was

(56:22):
coming to F1, it was, it was bigthings.
It was everyone was talking about this Nicole Kinberg, this
German cat, right? So I was surprised when he got
to F1 Williams and he just didn't.
He just didn't get that big team.
Like I just never understood it.But hey, I don't remember he put
that Williams on pole in just never Brazil.

(56:43):
In Brazil, he just never. Was it 2008?
Yeah, he had a brain. He had a brain fart.
He could have won. He could have won that race.
No, no, He put them. Was it 2008?
Put the Williams on pole in Brazil?
No, no, it wasn't 2008. I know you're going.
Down with rabbit olds. I know, I know he had.

(57:05):
I know 2012. He had an opportunity to win the
race in 2012, but then made a mistake and took Louisa I.
Think the one with Louis, right?Yeah, and pretty much took
Louisa and, you know, pretty much scuppered himself.
Remain a mystery to me because when Ulkenberg was coming into
F1, everyone was talking about Nicole Ulkenberg, yeah.

(57:25):
As the next German driver that you know because he was quick.
Yeah, and he came in and he justwent to and he just, his career
just stalled and never understood it.
I guess I don't know, but like Isaid, there was an opportunity.
With the pedigree that he came with, when I see certain drivers
go to top teams like like Perez goes to Red Red Bull, right?

(57:48):
Whichever driver would I would Ilook at?
Caveat, Danny. Caveat Danny.
Cave, Daniel. But I could, I could see him
because he was a Red Bull driver.
I could see him. I could even put, I could even
throw, throw. I could, I could throw even
Bottas and and and and Nico Rosberg in that conversation.

(58:11):
Is, is Nick. I don't think so.
I don't think he, I think. In the fan field that he came
with, none of those drivers camewith it so I never understood
why he didn't get a top drive. Probably because what I saw
because all his team, if you look at teams he's driven from
most of his teammates have always been on podium in the
same car he's in and he's never been able to get in the because
remember his highest finishing position prior to this past

(58:32):
weekend was the 4th and I believe that was when he was
driving for right now. I think it was I can't remember
who he's driven for. But either way, yeah, he's he's
had he's had some bad luck. Let's be honest, he has had some
bad luck again, 2012 probably being the most notable Brazil
being the most notable of them. Either way, he finally, you

(58:56):
know, got a podium. He drove a really good tidy race
again. He was 19th, he qualified 19th.
He was the biggest mover on the grid and he kept his car on
track. He was quick when he needed to
to be and he held, he held his own against Lewis and that
Ferrari in that intermediate stint and you know, had soft him

(59:21):
to show you how surprised. Lewis does not drive a Ferrari
bro. Yeah, sure.
You're surprised in Nogari, Yeah.
Lewis grabs a Nogari. I call it that man.
I don't know what you call that car man, but sure, no surprising
it was for. That's a new name for it.
We're going to call it a Dagari.Dagari all.
Right. Then we don't.
We can't run with that. We need to get the hashtag

(59:42):
going. But sure, no surprising it was
for Saab but they didn't even have champagne.
Mercedes and I believe Ferrari and McLaren.
No Mercedes and I think Ferrari as well.
Send champagne to them. Breaks up.
Hold on, hold on we. They didn't.

(01:00:04):
No, they didn't have any champagne.
Yeah, No, yeah. Not for the podium, but in the
team they didn't have any. So when he got back.
So, you know, normally you get back to you on the podium, you
have champagne. Yeah.
That's why I asked, isn't the podium the champagne?
No, no. No, no.
When he got back to the when he got back to the team, guys, you
didn't have no champagne and Mercedes sent over a couple

(01:00:27):
bottles of theirs and that's allthey ended up having champagne
to celebrate like. But then again, you can
understand why they wouldn't have finished champagne.
You don't expect a summer to ever be at the My name.
Just had Poland springs water. Exactly.
Or they probably had a few bottle of champagnes for the VIP
guests and that's about it. But they wouldn't have any
experiences at all. These are the budget, bro.

(01:00:48):
Yeah, these are the, these are the what you call it the podium
champagne. But I'm happy for Hulkenberg
because I did. I I used to clown him a lot.
And I remember after watching the F1 movie, I put out a tweet
and I said yell. Even Sonny Hayes got a podium

(01:01:09):
before Nico Hulkenberg. I said he is.
He's not even, he's not even a real F1 driver and he got a
podium before Nico Hulkenberg. I guess he probably read my
tweet. I probably said.
I probably said, yeah, no, I need to.
This needs to stop, man. And he put a hand to it.
So, you know, I was a bit annoyed that it wasn't Lewis.

(01:01:34):
But Congrats to the. Dude, Congrats to Congrats to
him, man, because you know you've been around.
That's a lot of racist, man. Racist because if I'm not
mistaken, even Maldonado had a podium.
Maldonado had a. Race win, bro.
I don't race. Race win.
Yeah, Maldonado had a race win in Formula One.
Maldonado the race win in Formula One made.

(01:01:56):
That's kind of like, yeah, you wouldn't put Maldonado and
Hulkenberg in the same category because they're just miles apart
in terms of ability. Sometimes it just.
Comes down to look being at the right place at the.
Right. Be at the right place at the
right time. And that's what he did.
He kept his car on track. He didn't make any mistakes.
He didn't he didn't put a wheel wrong.
He was there and he just kept his nose clean.

(01:02:17):
You know, he got up the grid because they had they called the
strategy right before the the pitted for the second set of
inters. They called it right and they
got him up to where he needed tobe and he, you know, held his
own, did his thing, brought homethe podium for them and they
needed. And with even with that podium,

(01:02:37):
they've no, they've moved. They're now 6th in the, in the
constructors championship. Constructors championship with
what, 41 points? They're five ahead of the Racing
Balls and Aston. Question, you're already under
the Audi ownership, right? It's not fully taken over as

(01:03:00):
yet. I think that that it's been done
in stages, so next year. I'm asking.
That acquisition will be fully Audi.
The reason why I'm asking that is that who does that money go
to? Well, obviously it's going to go
to Audi once Audi because Audi believe the acquisition is, if I
remember correctly that it was being done in phases of 25%,

(01:03:22):
then there was a 50% and then the final acquisition would
come. Next, are you?
Who I'm asking is because whose money is being spent this year?
Partially. That's all active, yeah, because
Audi, I believe Audi has alreadycompleted I believe 75% of the
takeover of the team. So the final 25% acquisition

(01:03:44):
will come when they once they hit the grid next year?
So it means that the who's the, the, the the owners of the the
the remaining 25% by the end of the season, they're going to get
a cut off this season's money then.
Yeah, they'll get a cut of it, but I don't know who.
I wonder if what's her name? Manisha Carlton, born.
I think she's still has some ownership shares in it, I can't

(01:04:05):
remember. But either way, who is it, who's
who's server is there? I don't know if they're probably
going to get a share of it, or Audis probably already bought
them, or I don't know how that works.
But it wasn't Securus. It wasn't.
Yeah, but. It's pretty much the Audi
acquisition is pretty much complete.
Like I said, they've got, I believe 75% ownership of it

(01:04:26):
because they were doing it in phase.
But you know, good move for themand it'd be and it'd be
interesting to see. I don't think they're going to
do it. I can't see them finishing sixth
because I still think because it's only 5 points that
separates them from racing ballsand Aston.

(01:04:48):
And I think Aston will probably have more opportunity to score
points on a regular basis. But I definitely can see him
finishing ahead of probably, I see them definitely finish ahead
of Haas and Alpine. Definitely I can see that.
Wilbert Yeah, Congrats to Olkenberg, man in his podium.

(01:05:08):
It's a good look for him. He deserved, he deserved it, you
know, kept his. Car man that won.
It's a command that won, that won the A1 GP championship,
remember, You remember the A1 GP, the nation championship
where you know he represented Germany.
I believe he won F2GP2. He was an.
F2, I think he did. That's when he I think he did.

(01:05:30):
Le Mans winner as well. He won Le Mans in 2015.
I believe it was with Audi though.
He's no more, put it that way. You know, getting that podium
was just deserved for because I've always asked the question,
why do people always go back forNico Hulkenberg?
You know, I mean, remember when Lance Stroll had this issue the

(01:05:53):
the roped in Hulkenberg? I asked the question, why would
Aston Audi want to go with Hulkenberg when he hasn't really
accomplished that much in F1? But I guess Sunday proved that
if he has the the machinery and he can, you know, give you the
the results if the opportunity arises.
So again, yeah, good for him. Happy for.

(01:06:15):
Him, Yes. Next one up, Lewis Hamilton.
His 12 race podium streak came to an end bro His 12 race podium
Silverstone streak. Yeah.
Well, podium this year, 12 points, 12 podium.
Silverstone streak came to an end by the man that we just
mentioned. I know for you that's

(01:06:36):
bittersweet, but. Yeah, that's a bittersweet a
lot. But Olkenberg have this little 1
podium. Bro Yeah, I think there was 2.
There's two reasons why he didn't make the podium.
Well, there's a multitude of reasons why he didn't make the
podium, the first of which was the pit stop, because he lost.

(01:06:57):
He pitted from P4 and then fell to P8.
Mercy. Oh shit.
I'm just, I was just going to say Mercedes and Ferrari dudes.
They called the strategy wrong. They pitted him too late.
They pitted him, I believe one to two laps too late and that
cost him those four positions straight up.
Yeah, I saw apparently there wasthere was some loss of GPS, so

(01:07:19):
they didn't know where he was onthe track.
And I saw a tweet from somebody.This probably is the greatest
tweet I've ever seen on Twitter since I've been on.
The other guy went it's a good thing that Lewis finished P4.
It's a good thing that the GPS malfunction of Ferrari didn't
know where he was because if they did, he probably would have
finished P50 with Charles. So crazy I've ever read on

(01:07:44):
Twitter. And I swear to you, as crazy as
it sounds, it's probably true because they messed up is they
messed up the strategy. They call the strategy wrong.
And it cost him those two, thosefour positions.
And at the same time that he hadto be, he was battling with a
car that wouldn't turn. I swear to you, if you saw that

(01:08:07):
car at Love Fields, Jesus, you think he was trying to turn an
oil tanker in the, in the you remember the oil tankers that
got stuck in there? Was it the Panama Canal?
That's something like he was trying to turn.
It was just like it wouldn't turn for him at all.
And then he was complaining about his interest being called

(01:08:30):
behind the safety car 'cause 1st, when the safety car
restart, after the safety car restart, when the downpour
happened, he got passed by Ocon and I believe ghazly because he
just had no grip whatsoever. Even another safety car restart,
he got passed by George because he had no heat whatsoever in the

(01:08:51):
tires, no grip. So it was it was pretty much he
was battling a car that was just, he said it even over the
radio that yo, this car is snappy.
It's just, it's just terrible todrive, but.
If he doesn't want anything thisyear is going to win an award at
the end of the season anyway, sothat's fine.
What's that best overtake is it would you say?

(01:09:14):
Would you say that what the double overtake on Oakland and.
Even the conditions, given the conditions, that's probably
going to go down one of the bestthis season.
Yeah, I think it would be up there with Oscar's move on him
in Jeddah. It would be.
It would be up there. I'll give Lewis the edge because
it was 2 cars in in trickier conditions.

(01:09:37):
True, but again, Lewis is the rain master, isn't he?
So you know, so when it rains and again he was at home, but I
think that played into why it wasn't able to catch Hulkenberg
because that one, because he wasonce he got he got past George,
got past him and the running order was stroll in 3rd

(01:10:01):
Hulkenberg, Ghazly and then George and then himself.
And I thought, God, is he what'sgoing to happen here?
But once he got past George, andI think the time it took him to
get past Ghazly is what really messed up his opportunity to
finish on the podium because he spent so long behind.

(01:10:22):
Because Gas, let's be honest, gasly goes on mentioned in that
race. But he drove a damn good race
himself. You know what?
I. Mean he was coming as an
honorable mention now with him and Stroll.
Yeah, he, him and Stroll, they drove a damn good race.
These two get our honorable mention shows that drove a damn
good race. He kept Lewis at Bay for a good
length of time, but by the time Lewis got past them and then got

(01:10:44):
past Stroll, I think his his inters were pretty much dead
because he got the gap down to Hulkenberg.
I believe to at one point it came down to under a second, but
then his tires, there was nothing left on his inters and
the gap just started to grow again and again.
It shows you how well Hulkenbergdid that he was able to keep his

(01:11:05):
tires in check despite him. At one point he was being, he
was stuck behind Lance Stroll for a good while.
But once he got past him, he wascomfortable.
And they pitted him for soft ties.
You know, some people have said he should have gone on to them,
the medium ties. Yeah, so.
But you know, he then made a mistake coming out of the pits

(01:11:29):
at Turn 3 and then, you know, try to recover that.
The pitted Hulkenberg, as soon as I saw it, made that mistake.
The pitted Hulkenberg. I think if that didn't happen,
he would probably stand a betterchance.
But then again, trying to chase him down, the car reminded
because you know, in the race hewas saying, oh, the car was
basically snappy, etcetera, etcetera.

(01:11:51):
The car reminded him exactly whyhe didn't.
He wasn't pushing that car at all leading up to that moment
because twice it snapped on him.I believe in the run, the
Maggots, Beckett's complex running off track twice, and
that pretty much guaranteed those two, those three mistakes
pretty much guaranteed the podium for Hulkingberg.

(01:12:13):
But, you know, it was a bittersweet, like you said, for
us. I wanted to see him and I think
he wanted that podium as well, not just because he wanted to,
you know, carry the streak on, but he's now on his longest run
at the start of the season. He's never gone 10 races in a
season without being on the podium.
This is race 12. And I think he wants that

(01:12:33):
podium, you know, desperately. And it's a first for every team.
Yeah. But he did maintain one of his
records though, in that the lastteammate to have actually
finished ahead of him at Silverstone, it was Nico Rosberg
in 2013, and the only reason whythat happened to him in 2013
was. Because is that even a real

(01:12:54):
record though? For him it is because, I mean,
he's never really what I'm saying because if you go back
only twice has he ever, my teammate has ever beat him at
Silverstone. OK, Blondes in 2007 and Hulk and
Rosberg in 2013. And the only reason why Rosberg
did it in 2013 because he had that tire blowout and Lewis was

(01:13:17):
already ahead of him at that point in the race when he had
the tire blowout. So, you know, around
Silverstone, Lewis teammates have a problem to beat him
because he's just in a different, different category.
But as I say, it's just one of them things.
It's unfortunate, but you know, he'll perform.

(01:13:38):
This teammate was the first timethis week, I believe all year
he's been actually quicker than Charles in qualifying and in
race for an entire race weekend.And and that's for me, that's
good. That's a good sign because you
can see he's starting to get more comfortable.
Granted, the car is still garbage, but he's getting more.
He's no more finding his feet and that, you know, good for it.

(01:14:03):
Yeah. All right.
Good. For it and that's it on the
Lewis thing. Just one more thing to add on
that before I move over to the next thing is yeah, I see that
when I saw that the Italian media is coming out telling
Ferraro y'all got to start listening to y'all seven time
world champion, you know. That's why they brought him in.
If if he's getting the tifosi and the Italian media and inside

(01:14:24):
he's in a, he's in a good position.
But that's what that's the reason why they brought him in.
And I've always made the argument that, you know,
obviously the the Charles Leclerc fans, they're a bit
annoyed at that because they're thinking what?
But Charles is outperforming himthis year.
And I keep reminding them that'snot the point.
What they brought him in for is that you're talking about he

(01:14:46):
knows what a championship winning car feels like.
He knows what a championship exactly, you know, So he has
that experience exactly. So he has that experience.
He knows what it takes to win. He he has that.
So bringing him in, that's partly why the bringing is
forget what Charles. Charles is was made to perform
him this year because Charles has been there for how long?

(01:15:08):
Lewis's first year in a completely new environment.
Nothing here. He knows Yeah, you know that's
what But again, if the yeah, I saw another tweet that says.
You can't say that, bro. Yeah, you can't say.

(01:15:34):
Yeah, well, that's it On, on, onLewis.
And yeah. So we've got two things to run
through real quick. Palo Pinto.
Palo Pinto, man, I don't even know what to say.
I said it in your spaces. I do not agree with the way some
of these teams threw up and spitout drivers or sometimes threw

(01:15:55):
them up, swallow them, then shitthem up.
I think there should be more protection for drivers,
especially rookie drivers. They need to be more protection
for these guys. I get it.
It's a it's a it's a performancebased sport, but we also have to
understand and also admit that the cars are difficult to drive.

(01:16:16):
When you have the A7 time world champion still struggling in
these regs right or whatever reason, it tells you that cars
are not the easiest to get on top of her.
Even in a situation. Obviously Max is doing a good
job because you know they did. Red Bull did get it right and
he's been with it 1 championship.

(01:16:36):
But apart, apart from from Max, apart from Red Bull right now,
my client in these rigs, no one really got it right.
Yeah, but that's not the point, is it?
It's not OK, son, not. Not, not the same.
And then now you're bringing these young guys with probably
the most difficult era of Formula One cars.

(01:16:57):
Right. Yeah, I don't agree with that
because, and here's why I don't agree, because he's the worst
performing of all the rookies. Hajar is a rookie.
He has to deal with the same problems Antonelli yesterday.
Antonelli has the biggest, biggest pressure of all the
rookies on the grid. So again, I don't.
Even right, my argument is that if Antonelli was performing the

(01:17:21):
same way or a jar was performed and said, my old thing is that
getting these young guys and treat them like how they treated
Mick doing and and Jack doing and now they're going to treat a
la Pinto and and and even how that Red Bull treated Liam
Lawson initially. Like, bro, that cannot be right.
I think, I think there should beguarantee.
I think rookie should get a guarantee one year.
Yeah, but OK, but where have youseen a rookie getting dropped in

(01:17:46):
the middle of the year? Which team when?
The only time we've seen a rookie driver getting dropped in
the middle of the year is where?Which team?
OK so it's not a common. It's not a common practice.
Drivers have normally been givena year 2 years before they get

(01:18:07):
ditched. The argument.
Is not whether it happens often or not.
The argument is that it should not happen.
But you can't say it shouldn't happen because again, this is a
performance based sport. And if you're not performing,
whether you're a rookie or not, if you're not, they're saying
things that just says, look, you're not up to we thought you
were up to it, but you're not upto it.
We can't say, oh, we can't, because you have to remember,

(01:18:29):
you know, points, points is. Money.
Which is why. Which is why.
Which is why. Because I'm not even going to
stay alone, which is why. So whenever riders or drivers
treat teams a certain way, no one should complain.
Which is right away because it'syou also have to remember this
is a business as well as it's a sport.
So why so? So why are they giving Martin
shits over in Moto GP? Well, again, that's a different,

(01:18:52):
that's a different argument. We've discussed that Martin
thing on the the GP, Moto GP part.
So that's a completely differentthing to what we're talking
about here. No, it's about our teams deal
with riders and drivers. It's a yeah, but it doesn't.
Matter. No.
But The thing is OK, the Martin thing is.
The problem with the Martin thing is Martin wants to leave a

(01:19:12):
team that he hasn't even completed the Ford race for.
Right. That's the that's, that's the
argument here. That's a different thing with
the color painter thing. What we're saying here is he's
no, he's been in the car and Jack doing was given 6 races.
He didn't really do much in six races.
Color Pinter then got put in thecar for six races, 6 or 766
races, right. We think that decision was more

(01:19:35):
financial base rather than performance base and he has
performed no different to Jack doing.
He hasn't done anything different to Jack doing so.
So. So that experiment has failed.
But but that's what I'm saying to you bro.
It's the same driver that was doing decent inner Williams.
Again, them's the bricks my. Argument.

(01:19:56):
So the team needs to look at themselves because we have
sample sizes to say that this driver actually did well in
another car. So typical Briatore type of
environment, right? Briatore environment is pretty
much has always been toxic. The only the only people who's
actually worked well in the Briatore environment was Alonzo.

(01:20:16):
Everybody else would pretty muchlike it.
So this is my argument. If it was a situation where he
was, if he stunk up the place inin the Williams then probably
wouldn't even got the Alpine Dr.He wouldn't have got.
This was a guy, this was a guy that last year in the Williams,
he was being lauded. He did well.
People was looking at whoa, that's some talent.
So you're telling me all of a sudden this guy doesn't know to
drive AF1 car anymore? So it's not the driver bro.

(01:20:41):
I mean, it's a combination it seems.
Like it's the driver. LP needs to look at himself.
Yeah, obviously LP needs to lookat themselves because again,
they have, they have ghastly. I don't.
Think it's an issue. They have ghastly in the car and
they're not really The car is pretty much garbage.
We know the car is garbage, but Ghastly still gets some results
out of it. Bro you just said just like what

(01:21:03):
you said, Charles is supposed tobe beating Lewis, Gasly is
supposed to beating every teammate that.
Gets no, I'm not saying I'm not saying I'm not.
That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying here is Gasly
has gotten results all to that RP despite, yeah, despite it
being a bad car. But again, based on what we saw
from color Painter last year, you'd have expected him to at

(01:21:24):
least scored a point. He hasn't only only three
drivers. Only two drivers have not scored
a point this year, and both of those drivers are Alpine
drivers. Exactly.
So you look at T more than car. Yeah, but again.
But again, the other driver in the Alpine car has scored

(01:21:44):
points. So you'd have, you'd have
expected that at least he could have scored at least one point,
but he hasn't and he hasn't looked close to scored.
How many points is is Gasly on? Gasly is off 13 in the
championship. He's on 19 points. 19 points,
OK, yeah. So I expect a guy who's been
Alpine forever to at least be a 19 points, right?

(01:22:07):
I don't believe that the whole Jack doing thing.
I don't think it's fair in the guys bro.
But it's but you, you OK. You can't just look OK once I
use the points. You have to look at other
things. He's crashed out a couple races,
made some silly mistakes, and that's what they're looking at
as well. Yeah.
And then because you have to remember, you know, we're in a

(01:22:28):
cost cap even. As a team that's developing
right. As a team, that's a shit team.
Basically, what does putting 3 drivers in your shit car in one
season going to do for you? Well, I guess I get, but again,
if Colour Painter had scored points in these one of these six

(01:22:50):
races, then the move would have been, you can say, OK, the move
was validated, but he has not even looked close to scoring a
point. He doesn't look any closer than
Mick doing what Jack doing did. Get it?
But with Carla Pinto, I've seen sample sizes just say that he
can drive an F1. But OK, but base, OK, it's the

(01:23:11):
same. Then you can use the same
argument for like Ricky Otto, couldn't you?
You can say, oh, when Ricky Ottowas in the Red Bull, we can see
that he can drive a car and he won races.
But then when he went to Renaulthe looked like garbage.
Different bro. Ricky had a full old F1 career
with race wins bro. That's a total.
Different, No, but the point. But the point here is but he got
ditched, did he? Yeah, because, but yeah, you

(01:23:33):
ditch an experienced driver who who all of a sudden cannot drive
a car, That's different. That's different.
You know, at at this point he's washed.
He's he's done for. What were you talking about?
The rookie that showed us that he could drive a car?
You put him in a shit team and ashit car.
But that's but that's the same argument.
Ricky Otto, you Ricky Otto showed that when he's in a good
car, he can drive a good car. But then you put him in a in a

(01:23:54):
crappy Renault and a crappy MacLean.
He looks the shadow of himself, and then you ditch.
Him, no, the difference is right.
I could see if Carlo Pinto went into two team and he just cannot
do it right. He went into two teams.
Williams, he showed flash flashes of brilliance, that he's
a decent driver, right? But Ricky Otto put the.
But Ricky Otto put the right. And then Ricky Otto went to two

(01:24:17):
teams. Yeah, put it on the put.
Yeah, but we expect that. Have a race winner, bro.
This is different. We're talking about the
experienced guy went to two teamand all of a sudden couldn't
drive the cars. That's different.
I think here is at the end of the day, this is a performance
based sport and colour Pinto, colour Pinto Pinter.
I think most more than anything as people, the view is that

(01:24:38):
colour Pinter, but which other team was he going to go to?
The view here is that colour Pinter got that right seat
because of money, finances. He could bring in bigger
sponsors than Jack Dewan could and I'll be, let's be honest,
Alpine need the money. Alpine needed needed the money.
Like like I don't agree with it,bro.
That's just my point. I don't I don't think the way

(01:24:59):
they're chewing up and spitting out these rookies, bro, it's.
Wrong. Yeah, but but who are the ones
chewing up spitting all the rookies more as?
I'm saying bro, you're looking at who are doing it.
It doesn't matter the fact that it's happening, they need to at
least. But you can't.
And that's the same thing AliciaSparger was saying over in Moto
GP was like, yo, we need to callbecause they cannot be chewing
up and spitting out these ridersat this rate.

(01:25:20):
Because again, because it's a performance based sport, it's
also a business and if they're not making money and it's
they're costing them money, they're going to look to move.
Because Jack do and Jack do and then colour painters cost LP
money. A team that don't have money
money because they've caused accidents.
Again, a front wing. Heard Brenda mention it over the

(01:25:43):
commentary. A front wing and no score costs
quarter of 1,000,000 lbs, quarter of £1,000,000.
You break two of them, that's half a million.
So you you're costing them money, but you're not winning
them any money on track with points, because points win
money. I just don't agree with it bro I
I'm not, I'm going to die on this hill.

(01:26:03):
Yeah, well, right again. This is the way they're doing.
These these rookies. But these not is not right, bro.
It's just it's just one of thosesad things that it's part of
sports, unfortunately. But you know, the experimenters
feel has failed and now there's actually conversation that they
could be looking to bring both us.
The sad thing about it too for me is that a lot of time these

(01:26:27):
team, this is what makes it nasty too bro.
A lot of times as you said, these teams know that OK, these
drivers may not be ready but they got some spots so they
basically bring them in the teamand use them bro.
That's like using the. Driver at the same time the
sponsors. And the guy get caught in a
situation where it's like, yo, it's an opportunity for F1,
right? These guys cannot tell a team
that I'm not really ready. I need to get another year down

(01:26:48):
here. He's like you're just.
If you turn on the front drive, you're not going to get, you're
not going to get. Sad because if if a driver can't
say or his management can't say he's not ready, I think we
should do him another year. You're down enough to a river.
Is that right? Let's revisit this.
That's spread through the paddock, right.
So now they've got between a rock caught between a rock and a

(01:27:09):
hard place where it's like, I don't think I'm ready, but I'm
getting this up, so I'm going tohave to go take it, right?
And. Which is why a formulas Formula
One seat is like gold dust. Yeah bro, that's his file.
Bro, you keep to keep your seat,you're gonna have to perform.
If you don't perform, you're notgonna keep your seat.
It's the name of the game. And for this type of behavior,
bro, and for this type of behavior, but yeah, let them,

(01:27:29):
let them take, let them bring butters.
Let them bring butters. Let's see.
But that experiment let me. Understand.
What do we do then? And if the results are the same,
what do we say then? What can we?
I was feeding the shit team, bro.
So they're just trying to, they're just trying to deflect
off on their drivers. Alpine is a shit team and it's a
shit organization. They can't keep managers, they
can't get their contracts right.With the old PS3 blender.

(01:27:52):
It's always been a shit organization and it still is to
this day. And they brought in the worst of
them all, bearatory. Now what they need to do is
bring Alonzo back. They they could work well down
there. Wasn't, but he was there.
Remember, he should have left He.
Needs to. He was there.
He was there in 20. Remember he was there in 21 when
Ocon won. Yeah, he needs to be there.

(01:28:12):
He needs to go back. That's where he needs to retire
with his buddy, right, Tory, Mr.Crash, Gates.
But yeah, rate the race because I need rate the race.
I mean, the race was a mess because of the weather
conditions and so on. I think as a spectacle, I'm
going to give it a 7. I'm going to give it a seven, I
think. I thought it was.

(01:28:32):
It was, yeah. It had.
It had pretty much everything you wanted in the race, per SE.
It had drama, it had unpredictability, it had
crashes, you know, it had whatever.
So I'm giving it A7. Yeah, I'll give it a six, six
and a. Half.
All right then. Cool.
I'll give it a 6 1/2. It was a decent race.

(01:28:54):
It was a decent race and and I see they're doing it, but they
did not have half a million people at Silverstone, bro.
I don't know how that worked out.
I think they're counting people twice.
They're counting people twice. It's the same thing they do.
They did not get half a million people.
Real right. And sometimes they counting
people three times because they're counting the people with
three day tickets. Yes, they do because you start

(01:29:19):
on a Friday, they scanned a Friday ticket, they turn up on
Saturday, scan your Saturday ticket and you turn up on
Sunday, they scan your Sunday ticket.
So they didn't get half a million people.
I don't know how they, I don't know how they work that one up
and then that bombshell. Yeah, yeah.
Next race is. Three weeks time win Spa, which

(01:29:42):
is also a Sprint race weekend, and Ferrari are rumored to be
bringing a new suspension at Spaso that they're going to be
testing during a filming day, I believe on the 16th.
So, OK, yeah, let's see how thatgoes.
Let's. Let's see if Lou show if Lou
shows up with a smile, we know it worked in the filming day if
he. Could well apparently he's

(01:30:03):
apparently the reports are he's not doing the filming day.
So OK, it's going to be it's going to be Charles and
Giovannazzi who will be at the filming day.
I don't see why wouldn't. I don't understand it.
So if Lewis is in this car that's not doing all he wants,
why is he not present that everyopportunity gets?
Again, I don't know. We don't know what his schedule

(01:30:24):
is. Maybe there there's a clash with
his schedule or so, but again, Idon't really.
What more important than get in the car that you're driving to
work? I don't.
I don't see it really make a difference because the ties
you're going to be using for thefilming day are control ties and
not actual cars that you're going to race on.
So you might get, I guess the only thing you probably can get
from it is perform. DT can get its performance load

(01:30:46):
or whatever it is, but, and again, it's only 100, what's it,
200 kilometers you can run. So I don't know how much they're
going to get from it, but let's see what happen.
Again, that's Lewis Hamilton. I'm not even worried about it.
All right. Yeah.
As you say on that bombshell, wego in it, next race is going to

(01:31:06):
be SWA. As you say, it's Sprint weekend.
This weekend we have the German Motor GP race, so that's one to
look out for. Saxon.
Right. So thanks again for listening
