In this episode of the Pit Stop podcast, hosts Jake Boys and Fabio Bocca delve into the recently concluded Miami Grand Prix and share their thoughts on the race and the overall Formula One season thus far.
**Miami Grand Prix: A DRS Train and Few Overtaking Opportunities**
The Miami Grand Prix, despite the excitement and spectacle surrounding it, failed to deliver a thrilling race, according to the hosts. They attribute this to the DRS train that formed in the midfield, preventing overtaking and hindering the potential for more dynamic racing.
**Red Bull's Dominance and the DRS Dilemma**

**Imola Preview: Anticipation for a More Exciting Race**

[00:56.480 -> 01:00.160] Ladies and gents, welcome back to the Miami Grand Prix. [01:00.160 -> 01:02.640] Pre-race, pre-race. [01:02.640 -> 01:07.680] We're just about to hit the formation lap. Yeah, so we have to give our thoughts on qualifying. [01:07.680 -> 01:09.040] Perez pole position. [01:09.600 -> 01:14.880] Could this be the first race where we see a proper battle with Max and Perez? [01:14.880 -> 01:16.080] If Max can make it through. [01:16.080 -> 01:18.800] Do you think he takes over now? Do you think he becomes first in the championship? [01:18.800 -> 01:22.400] I'd love it. I've predicted a Perez win this weekend. It would be amazing. [01:22.400 -> 01:25.920] I can also see Max coming through the pack in about three laps and then... [01:27.040 -> 01:28.840] Maybe coming second? I don't know. [01:28.840 -> 01:32.240] I predicted him to come first, didn't I? What was your... Let's go through our predictions again quickly. [01:32.240 -> 01:33.240] Well, I... [01:33.240 -> 01:36.240] I predicted Max first, unfortunately. [01:36.240 -> 01:38.040] And I predicted Perez first. [01:38.040 -> 01:39.040] That's good for you. [01:39.040 -> 01:41.440] Leclerc, I went for second. [01:41.440 -> 01:42.680] I went Checo second. [01:42.680 -> 01:44.480] And I went third Russell. [01:44.480 -> 01:45.040] Russell. Where's Russell starting?. And I went third Russell. [01:51.160 -> 01:55.600] Where's Russell starting? Russell's starting sixth. Okay. So there is potential that Magnussen in fourth is unbelievable. Yeah, it's absolutely epic. I went in the Claire third. The Claire third could happen as well. [01:55.600 -> 01:59.400] Let's see that the whole spectacle of the Miami Grand Prix looks incredible. They're just about to launch. [01:59.400 -> 02:02.160] What did you think of that intro by the way? Oh, yes. [02:02.160 -> 02:03.560] The walkout. [02:03.560 -> 02:05.000] WWE mate! WWE! [02:05.000 -> 02:07.600] It was like stars in their eyes wasn't it? [02:07.600 -> 02:09.000] Because they had the smoke. [02:09.000 -> 02:12.760] I kind of loved it but they just needed to speed it up a little bit and I kind of wanted [02:12.760 -> 02:16.920] all the dancers just to like stand there and do a pose or like jump or something. [02:16.920 -> 02:18.720] You know like where they walk out properly. [02:18.720 -> 02:21.000] I just couldn't believe Will.i.am was standing there the whole time. [02:21.000 -> 02:22.000] The whole time. [02:22.000 -> 02:23.840] Conducting that orchestra and none of them were even looking at him. [02:23.840 -> 02:26.520] Do you know what that would actually be really sick if they did that every week, spread it [02:26.520 -> 02:28.760] up a little bit but the drivers pick their walkout song. [02:28.760 -> 02:30.260] Yeah, that could be cool. [02:30.260 -> 02:31.260] That could actually go to work. [02:31.260 -> 02:34.480] Because Lewis comes out with headphones on so it'd be cool if we could hear what he was [02:34.480 -> 02:35.480] listening to. [02:35.480 -> 02:38.560] Or if all the drivers said something, because I know Logan said something and Lewis went [02:38.560 -> 02:39.720] over to him, that was a cool moment. [02:39.720 -> 02:43.480] I'd like it if they could come out with something to represent their personality, or like with [02:43.480 -> 02:44.480] a pet. [02:44.480 -> 02:50.120] I'd walk a pig out. Still going on about the pig. I'd come out with like something to represent their personality like or like with a pet like Lewis I'd walk a pig out with a ball everyone's [02:50.120 -> 02:55.240] off the grid let the formation lap begin a lot of pink yeah oh my god they love [02:55.240 -> 02:59.480] Paris a lot of pink in the crowd they love Paris don't they Aston Martin had a [02:59.480 -> 03:03.000] bit of a water spillage outside of there in their pit lane oh really they were [03:03.000 -> 03:10.000] sweeping off and had the giant hair blowers out. That is not what you want is it? Absolutely not so hopefully they've had [03:10.000 -> 03:16.240] that sorted as we lead up now to the Miami Grand Prix 2023. The cars are coming around the corner [03:16.240 -> 03:25.600] as they line up on the grid for the second ever Miami Grand Prix. This is gonna be a good race I think. I think it's gonna be a good race. [03:25.600 -> 03:30.320] Sponsored by Crypto.com. Big, big sponsor of the Miami Grand Prix. [03:30.320 -> 03:31.920] Good, good, good notice.

[03:40.080 -> 03:41.520] Yeah, not as good as last year's though. [03:41.520 -> 03:42.320] The basketball. [03:42.320 -> 03:43.440] Yeah, that was better. [03:43.440 -> 03:45.440] That was really good. Oh, the green light! [03:45.440 -> 03:46.440] Let's do it! [03:46.440 -> 03:47.440] I'm gonna do my saying.

[04:04.440 -> 04:08.320] Uh oh. Who was that? Don't know! Oh no, it's a McLaren! Oh no! Who was that? Don't know. [04:08.320 -> 04:12.160] Oh man, it's so sad to see the McLarens at the back anyway. [04:12.160 -> 04:14.640] We'll take you for a little bit of the first lap. [04:14.640 -> 04:16.400] Perez way out in front. [04:16.400 -> 04:21.200] Also sitting comfortably. Oh my god, you can see that there's barely any grip, I swear. [04:21.200 -> 04:23.600] Is that an Alfa Romeo in like fifth? [04:23.600 -> 04:26.400] I have no idea who's where. Is that an Alfa Romeo in like fifth? I have no idea where, who's where. [04:26.400 -> 04:36.520] Is that Oscar Orlando? Oh well. Well that was um kind of spicy. Where's Max? Oh how [04:36.520 -> 04:45.000] many positions? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. He's gone back one! He's dropped one! [04:45.000 -> 04:47.000] Let's see if Max can do it, we'll be back after the race! [04:47.000 -> 04:49.000] Goodbye! [04:49.000 -> 04:51.000] Goodbye! [04:57.000 -> 05:00.000] And that is a wrap on the Miami Grand Prix! [05:00.000 -> 05:08.600] Max Verstappen has done the unthinkable and he's won from 9th! Yep, safe to say Max Verstappen has done the unthinkable and he's won from ninth. Yep, safe to say Max Verstappen can do it. [05:08.600 -> 05:12.520] You know he's won from many many positions, they were talking about it on TV, he's won [05:12.520 -> 05:16.960] from many different positions, 10th, 14th, but never 9th before until today. [05:16.960 -> 05:22.640] And he's now equaled Sebastian Vettel's record for wins at Red Bull, which is quite a feat. [05:22.640 -> 05:23.640] Has he really? [05:23.640 -> 05:24.640] Yeah, 38. [05:24.640 -> 05:25.640] Okay. [05:25.640 -> 05:28.640] That is nuts mate. [05:28.640 -> 05:33.260] The thing is right, Perez is unbelievable to get that pole position but Max was really [05:33.260 -> 05:35.560] unlucky yesterday obviously. [05:35.560 -> 05:37.880] But he is just so quick. [05:37.880 -> 05:41.760] The lap times he was getting out of them hard tyres at like 30, 40 laps. [05:41.760 -> 05:42.760] It was serious mate. [05:42.760 -> 05:44.500] Yeah, it was serious. [05:44.500 -> 05:45.920] The Red Bulls ridiculously quick. [05:45.920 -> 05:47.160] We all know that. [05:47.160 -> 05:48.120] Sonics fishy. [05:48.120 -> 05:48.960] I don't know what it is. [05:48.960 -> 05:49.800] But I say this every time. [05:49.800 -> 05:51.480] It was orange juice last year. [05:51.480 -> 05:52.320] I say this every time. [05:52.320 -> 05:54.240] They must've found out about the orange juice now [05:54.240 -> 05:55.080] and moved on to something else. [05:55.080 -> 05:55.920] Do you know what? [05:55.920 -> 05:59.240] There is always a team that will dominate for a while. [05:59.240 -> 06:00.840] Mercedes did it. [06:00.840 -> 06:03.360] Before Mercedes, Ferrari have done it. [06:03.360 -> 06:04.680] There's been many teams that have done it. [06:04.680 -> 06:08.380] So, you know, Red Bulls day will come one day. [06:08.380 -> 06:09.220] But for now- [06:09.220 -> 06:10.920] I think Red Bulls day is here, mate. [06:10.920 -> 06:13.200] No, as in it will come when it's over, [06:13.200 -> 06:14.040] is what I'm saying. [06:14.040 -> 06:14.860] Oh, really? [06:14.860 -> 06:15.700] Judgment day. [06:15.700 -> 06:18.280] How long do you reckon they've got until like 2026 [06:18.280 -> 06:19.600] when they change out the whole thing? [06:19.600 -> 06:21.480] Well, 2026 is going to be interesting. [06:21.480 -> 06:23.200] But yeah, oh, it is going to be interesting. [06:23.200 -> 06:24.040] It's going to be super interesting. [06:24.040 -> 06:27.920] Do you know what else was really, really really really interesting? Go on. Sir Jackie Stewart [06:27.920 -> 06:33.120] Oh he's scrambling with the security. Yes, yes. Trying to get Roger Federer's attention [06:33.680 -> 06:38.000] Martin Brundle on Sky Sports doing his iconic gridwalk. Wasn't this the first one that he's done? [06:38.000 -> 06:43.960] Yeah, he wasn't at the last one. So I was looking forward to him here. God save that man [06:43.960 -> 06:45.400] I love his gridwalks. [06:45.400 -> 06:46.160] He's so great. [06:46.160 -> 06:47.200] They're the best. [06:47.200 -> 06:49.600] Yeah, I love the way Jackie Stewart goes under the barrel [06:49.600 -> 06:50.920] and security trying to grab him. [06:50.920 -> 06:51.880] You're like, that's Jackie Stewart. [06:51.880 -> 06:52.600] He was excellent. [06:52.600 -> 06:56.280] And then George Russell actually came to the rescue. [06:56.280 -> 06:57.240] Do you know what I mean? [06:57.240 -> 06:57.760] Oh, did he? [06:57.760 -> 07:01.480] Yeah, he's got that sort of superhero look about him [07:01.480 -> 07:02.040] a little bit. [07:02.040 -> 07:02.680] Do you know what I mean? [07:02.680 -> 07:03.920] Yeah, he looks like Action Man. [07:03.920 -> 07:05.720] Like Clark Kent Kent sort of [07:05.720 -> 07:06.520] I don't know who that is [07:06.520 -> 07:07.020] Spider-man [07:07.020 -> 07:07.520] oh [07:07.520 -> 07:08.020] no [07:08.020 -> 07:10.520] no Spider-man's Tom Holland or is Clark Kent the old Spider-man? [07:10.520 -> 07:12.520] no it's Tom Hanks [07:12.520 -> 07:14.520] what? Tom Hanks is not Spider-man [07:14.520 -> 07:16.520] Tom Hanks is Spider-man [07:16.520 -> 07:18.520] you heard ladies and gentlemen [07:18.520 -> 07:20.520] you heard it here first [07:20.520 -> 07:22.520] Tom Hanks is Spider-man [07:22.520 -> 07:24.520] no no before you give me your race notes [07:24.520 -> 07:25.800] there's something important we have to talk about in today's episode It's Spider-Man. No, no, before you give me your race notes, [07:25.800 -> 07:27.400] there's something important we have to talk about [07:27.400 -> 07:28.240] in today's episode.

[07:59.200 -> 08:00.920] Yeah, we have a runner up [08:00.920 -> 08:02.240] and I'm going to play his voice note [08:02.240 -> 08:05.280] because unfortunately Daniel, we don't have a prize for you [08:05.280 -> 08:09.640] But your voice note was just a great thing to wake up to and listen to we can get him something [08:09.640 -> 08:12.920] Yeah, maybe we can't we can't get you a mic, but if there's anything else you want [08:13.600 -> 08:28.120] Tell us what you like in our background then we'll consider I just want to give you a quick message to say thank you for the podcast. You guys are smashing it, you're absolute legends. [08:28.120 -> 08:32.080] You make my drive to work a lot easier, you make me forget that I'm going to work, which [08:32.080 -> 08:33.080] is always good. [08:33.080 -> 08:38.080] And also I've realised I'm an expert on Formula 1 compared to you two. [08:38.080 -> 08:41.080] You're absolutely hilarious, but keep doing what you're doing. [08:41.080 -> 08:45.760] Thank you for making my drive to work a lot better. Cheers lads. [08:45.760 -> 08:50.800] Oh Daniel Berry round of applause for Daniel Berry. Absolute legend. [08:50.800 -> 08:51.300] Love that. [08:51.300 -> 08:54.100] But the winner of the microphone um... [08:54.100 -> 08:55.200] Hang on drumroll drumroll. [08:55.200 -> 08:56.400] Okay yeah you give a drumroll. [08:57.520 -> 08:58.720] Oh shit my phone. [08:58.720 -> 09:00.480] Proper drumroll please you're meant to be a drummer. [09:01.200 -> 09:04.480] Ladies and gentlemen the winner of the Pit Stop microphone is... [09:06.440 -> 09:09.480] Jess from Australia, from Australia. [09:09.480 -> 09:12.000] Yeah, the microphone's going all the way Australia. [09:12.000 -> 09:13.000] Let's go. [09:13.000 -> 09:14.880] That's a terrible way of saying it. [09:14.880 -> 09:16.800] So Jess is launching a podcast. [09:16.800 -> 09:19.600] She is from Ireland and she has moved to Australia, [09:19.840 -> 09:22.400] but she's doing a podcast with her friend here in London. [09:22.400 -> 09:25.540] And they're going to do a pod where one's in London and one's in Australia. [09:25.540 -> 09:27.500] And I just think that's really cool. [09:27.500 -> 09:29.980] Like a transatlantic pod is, hang on a minute. [09:29.980 -> 09:31.980] Is the Atlantic the right ocean? [09:33.860 -> 09:36.100] I don't know if the Atlantic's on the left or the right. [09:36.100 -> 09:38.260] There's a lot of land mass between us and Australia. [09:38.260 -> 09:40.180] Yeah, well, let's not dig into the right [09:40.180 -> 09:41.500] and wrong oceans either way. [09:41.500 -> 09:43.820] Jess, congratulations, you have won the mic. [09:43.820 -> 09:44.740] Shout out, Jess. [09:44.740 -> 09:47.320] The mic will be going on an adventure to Australia which is [09:47.320 -> 09:51.480] exciting let's try and document the journey we'll take some photos mm-hmm [09:51.480 -> 09:55.480] and yeah you never know maybe Jess will use the mic for a little bit and maybe [09:55.480 -> 09:58.760] in a year or a couple years she'll pass it on to someone else well that's that's [09:58.760 -> 10:03.000] the hope I want this mic to live on so this mic all right what we need to do is [10:03.000 -> 10:05.860] we need to put something special on this mic like engrave it or [10:05.860 -> 10:07.700] do something so we know where it's a bit [10:07.700 -> 10:09.840] of a timeline and we'll make an [10:09.840 -> 10:11.220] Instagram account for it [10:11.220 -> 10:13.820] ok that's a very big move for the mic [10:13.820 -> 10:17.400] what do we call the mic ok guys we're [10:17.400 -> 10:20.340] going to vote name the mic send in your [10:20.340 -> 10:22.820] request we're going to name the mic and [10:22.820 -> 10:24.060] then we're going to make an Instagram [10:24.060 -> 10:29.360] account about it we're not we're not doing that mic and then we're gonna make an Instagram account about it. We're not doing that. I am. Alright, Fab's gonna make an Instagram account about a mic. [10:29.360 -> 10:37.240] The mic's going to Australia. That is exciting. Yeah we'll send that off. [10:37.240 -> 10:42.480] Jess, we will send you a message to get your address. Don't reply to anyone else [10:42.480 -> 10:45.460] pretending to be us. you'll get it from [10:45.460 -> 10:49.620] at pitstop we will get your address and send it out oh yeah baby yes we will [10:49.620 -> 10:54.280] take me back fabs take me back to Miami Fernando Alonso four podiums in five [10:54.280 -> 10:58.580] races which is unbelievable because when Mikey Brown come here after that first [10:58.580 -> 11:05.000] podium in the season he did not expect to get five podiums in five races. [11:05.580 -> 11:08.680] Mikey Brown with a 107.462 on our leaderboard. [11:08.680 -> 11:11.080] Mikey Brown is such a legend [11:11.080 -> 11:14.880] and he was such a great guest and such an amazing guy. [11:14.880 -> 11:15.720] He was. [11:15.720 -> 11:17.000] That's been the best thing about this [11:17.000 -> 11:18.240] because we get them in our house [11:18.240 -> 11:19.920] and people come and chat with us for like an hour. [11:19.920 -> 11:21.440] You really get to know someone. [11:21.440 -> 11:22.600] Speaking of guests, [11:22.600 -> 11:28.840] we've potentially got some exciting ones coming up. There is a chance the next episode could be [11:28.840 -> 11:33.760] with a guest. I'm off on a stag do next weekend but maybe we can try and squeeze [11:33.760 -> 11:39.520] in a few fun guests that we can put out. Well see what we can do eh? Yeah. Yeah it's [11:39.520 -> 11:42.160] gonna be a good week we're gonna go get our haircut first thing tomorrow morning [11:42.160 -> 11:45.040] ready and then we should be filming [11:48.960 -> 11:51.720] But yeah, who you giving driver of the day to today because I said Hamilton at one point But who do you think deserves driver of the day not the Claire? [11:52.360 -> 11:57.840] Well no and that's a tough race. Yeah, that's not to be nasty on a Leclerc, but the Ferrari [11:57.840 -> 12:04.760] I mean mate he couldn't even get past Magnussen. How does a Ferrari differ? Is it just the track like last week? [12:04.760 -> 12:05.800] Leclerc was on pole [12:07.540 -> 12:10.480] Like where does that speed go where does that drop off change? [12:10.480 -> 12:15.540] I don't know didn't teams bring upgrades for Miami. Maybe some were better than others [12:15.540 -> 12:18.760] Well, the standards are still pretty much the same. We've seen Lewis [12:19.920 -> 12:25.320] Claire the Mercedes was looking all right today George done done all right. Yeah, Russell's finished fourth. [12:25.320 -> 12:26.480] I predicted him third. [12:26.480 -> 12:29.680] Sainz has finished fifth, Hamilton is sixth. [12:29.680 -> 12:31.160] So Mercedes actually did all right there. [12:31.160 -> 12:32.840] They broken up the Ferraris there. [12:32.840 -> 12:35.760] So do we have the standings now after that race? [12:35.760 -> 12:37.880] Well, yeah, I got the standards in front of me, [12:37.880 -> 12:38.720] right here mate. [12:38.720 -> 12:40.120] If you could just pull that up right now, Jay, [12:40.120 -> 12:40.960] that'd be amazing. [12:40.960 -> 12:42.560] Standings are here, right in front of me. [12:42.560 -> 12:43.400] Good man. [12:43.400 -> 12:47.120] Max Verstappen, 14 points clear of Perez now. [12:47.120 -> 12:48.800] Ooh, what was he, seven before? [12:48.800 -> 12:51.480] There was only like six going in today's race. [12:51.480 -> 12:54.840] Lewis Hamilton in fourth, Fernando Alonso in third. [12:54.840 -> 12:57.840] Mate, Fernando Alonso is having a blinder. [12:57.840 -> 12:59.680] I just love that. [12:59.680 -> 13:00.640] I love that. [13:00.640 -> 13:03.600] It's like when two amazing things come together, [13:03.600 -> 13:09.240] like an amazing driver, an amazing car, just, that that shit's rare that doesn't really happen very often no it [13:09.240 -> 13:13.280] doesn't I completely forgot as well we have to quickly give someone a shout out [13:13.280 -> 13:18.440] Ruth Buscombe has got engaged we haven't said about on the pod yet yeah we have [13:18.440 -> 13:23.440] no we haven't we forgot last step surely no we didn't Ruth congratulations [13:23.440 -> 13:25.040] congratulations that is incredible news that's an impressive ring I must admit Last step, surely. No we didn't, Ruth, congratulations! Ruth, congratulations. [13:25.040 -> 13:26.640] That is incredible news. [13:26.640 -> 13:28.800] That's an impressive ring, I must admit. [13:28.800 -> 13:31.440] It's a very impressive ring. [13:31.440 -> 13:32.560] We were talking about it. [13:32.560 -> 13:36.160] For a very impressive lady though, she deserves an impressive ring. [13:36.160 -> 13:39.120] I feel like those guys deserve each other, they're both two amazing people. [13:39.120 -> 13:43.120] I don't know Nathan, but yeah, they seem like both two amazing people. [13:43.120 -> 13:43.680] Yeah, Ruth, congratulations. [13:43.680 -> 13:45.200] A bit of a power couple. [13:45.200 -> 13:46.080] Yeah, for sure. [13:46.080 -> 13:47.000] Massive power couple. [13:47.000 -> 13:49.160] God damn, I wish I had a relationship like that. [13:49.160 -> 13:51.680] Right, I want to talk about lap four, okay? [13:51.680 -> 13:53.280] Okay, why lap four? [13:53.280 -> 13:55.840] Lap four is the moment that Max Verstappen [13:55.840 -> 13:58.320] was sat behind McLaren, Magnussen, you know, [13:58.320 -> 14:00.080] and then he thought, you know what, fuck it, [14:00.080 -> 14:02.600] I might take both of them on one corner. [14:02.600 -> 14:03.440] Right. [14:03.440 -> 14:04.280] What an overtake. [14:04.280 -> 14:06.000] Yeah, what an overtake. [14:06.000 -> 14:11.000] He does every now and again do things and you're like, he risks that, brakes late, that's [14:11.000 -> 14:12.000] unreal. [14:12.000 -> 14:14.560] The car is just...

[14:43.800 -> 14:45.720] The holidays start here at Fred Meyer [14:45.720 -> 14:48.280] with a variety of options to celebrate traditions [14:48.280 -> 14:49.400] old and new. [14:49.400 -> 14:51.880] You could do a classic herb roasted turkey [14:51.880 -> 14:54.080] or spice it up and make turkey tacos, [14:54.080 -> 14:56.400] serve up a go-to shrimp cocktail, [14:56.400 -> 14:58.640] or use simple truth wild caught shrimp [14:58.640 -> 15:00.680] for your first Cajun risotto.

[15:05.800 -> 15:11.200] No matter how you shop, Fred Meyer has all the freshest ingredients to embrace all your holiday traditions. [15:11.200 -> 15:13.400] Fred Meyer, fresh for everyone. [15:14.400 -> 15:16.400] Oh, you saw it. You saw it when he pulled out. [15:16.400 -> 15:18.800] I mean, I know he had the IRS, didn't he? [15:18.800 -> 15:22.000] But the way that he pulled out behind that car and just went straight past it. [15:22.000 -> 15:24.000] Yeah. Ridiculously quick. [15:24.000 -> 15:27.120] It's probably going to be like this for the rest of the year. [15:27.120 -> 15:29.760] Like the gap's so big that there's probably [15:29.760 -> 15:32.000] not gonna really be anyone competing with a Red Bull, [15:32.000 -> 15:32.840] is there? [15:32.840 -> 15:35.640] Their race pace is so quick, their one lap pace is so quick. [15:35.640 -> 15:38.800] Well, I've actually got something on my phone, [15:38.800 -> 15:39.640] which I thought- [15:39.640 -> 15:41.160] Have you been running simulations? [15:41.160 -> 15:44.280] Which I, well, yeah, I have been. [15:47.320 -> 15:52.120] No, it's just, I've got a question for you oh yeah right but for the end of the pod nothing okay but it [15:52.120 -> 15:56.080] is it'll be a nice roundup on the spot I'm gonna put you on the spot a little [15:56.080 -> 15:59.920] bit what at the end of the pub when you just put me on the spot now well because [15:59.920 -> 16:11.640] we're a bit early I go put me on spot. I want to know what it is now. Well look, Jake. Look, fab. Jake, Jake, let me just place my glass down. Is it that serious? [16:11.640 -> 16:17.960] We are, we have five races in now. Yeah. I want, I want your prediction for the end [16:17.960 -> 16:22.840] of the year, the top ten standings. What, in drivers? Yeah, for the end of this [16:22.840 -> 16:29.680] year. Because, okay, I could be wrong but have we not done this? We didn't do this at the start [16:29.680 -> 16:32.520] of the season did we? Well I'll tell you what I'll give you mine now and then in a [16:32.520 -> 16:37.520] couple of races we'll get yours and then we'll see how much has changed. Like we [16:37.520 -> 16:40.880] at the beginning of the season we never did our top ten, no we didn't. So I can try [16:40.880 -> 16:48.840] and predict now. Well the current top ten is Verstappen Perez, Alonso Hamilton, Sainz, Russell, Leclerc, Stroll, Norris and Gasly [16:48.840 -> 16:51.800] I feel like it's gonna pretty much stay like that. So that's what I'm gonna do [16:51.800 -> 16:56.040] I'm gonna look at the the bottom 10 and see whether I think there's anyone that could get in [16:57.360 -> 17:02.020] Hulkenberg has been okay, but it's one of them. I know nothing about him, but I would know where he's got the fastest lap [17:02.020 -> 17:06.640] Where are the McLarens? Right, so Oscar's 14th, Lando's ninth. [17:08.640 -> 17:10.200] See, Lando could move up. [17:10.200 -> 17:11.840] Definitely. [17:11.840 -> 17:15.960] I could potentially see Bottas moving up a little bit. [17:15.960 -> 17:17.400] Are you joking? [17:17.400 -> 17:19.600] But I don't see anyone else dropping out. [17:19.600 -> 17:20.740] Where is Bottas? [17:20.740 -> 17:23.280] Well, he's currently 12, 13, sorry. [17:23.280 -> 17:24.520] Okay, okay. [17:24.520 -> 17:26.700] Right, you're on my top 10 for the end of the season, okay? [17:26.700 -> 17:27.540] I do. [17:27.540 -> 17:28.360] Well Max. [17:28.360 -> 17:30.340] But first, I'm probably gonna sneeze. [17:32.460 -> 17:33.300] Well done. [17:33.300 -> 17:34.120] Probably again as well. [17:34.120 -> 17:34.960] Okay. [17:34.960 -> 17:38.320] And, well done, perfect timing. [17:38.320 -> 17:40.220] There is a chance I could go a third time, [17:40.220 -> 17:42.760] but I don't think it's likely. [17:42.760 -> 17:43.720] Okay, sure? [17:43.720 -> 17:45.400] Yeah, I'm positive now. [17:45.400 -> 17:46.300] Okay. [17:46.300 -> 17:49.160] Yeah, top 10, Max Verstappen won. [17:49.160 -> 17:50.000] Okay. [17:50.000 -> 17:52.080] That's for me, undoubtable. [17:52.080 -> 17:53.360] Three time world champion. [17:53.360 -> 17:56.320] Three time world champion, Sergio Perez second. [17:56.320 -> 17:58.240] All right, I'll get down with that. [17:58.240 -> 18:00.480] Fernando Alonso third. [18:00.480 -> 18:02.880] Like I said, it's not gonna change much, is it? [18:02.880 -> 18:07.960] Not really, I mean, it depends whether you're banking on the Ferraris to get more points. [18:07.960 -> 18:09.760] I'm going to make one- [18:09.760 -> 18:15.320] At this point, I'm honestly not, which is such a shame because, you know, a year or [18:15.320 -> 18:17.560] two ago, it was looking so good. [18:17.560 -> 18:18.560] I think it'll happen. [18:18.560 -> 18:19.560] I don't know. [18:19.560 -> 18:23.080] I think the Mercedes are slowly working their way back up. [18:23.080 -> 18:28.500] Well, at the moment, Hamilton's in fourth, but I'm actually gonna say that Russell's gonna finish fourth. Okay. Yeah [18:28.500 -> 18:31.520] because I'm like I'm just a big fan of Russell I think he drives really well. He [18:31.520 -> 18:35.060] has been doing really well. Even though you know Hamilton's currently fourth and [18:35.060 -> 18:42.460] then I'll put Hamilton fifth and then I'll go Leclerc sixth, Sainz seventh. No sorry. [18:42.460 -> 18:47.200] Leclerc sixth. Sorry yeah Leclerc sixth, Lance Stroll seventh, Sainz eighth. Wow. seventh no sorry the Claire sick sorry yeah the Claire six large stroll seventh [18:47.200 -> 18:51.280] signs a well Lando Norris ninth and [18:51.280 -> 18:54.000] Gasly 10th is how I'm think stroll in [18:54.000 -> 18:56.880] front of signs yeah the Aston Martins [18:56.880 -> 18:59.000] mad quick mate just give Lance a few [18:59.000 -> 19:01.360] more races in a quick car like I would [19:01.360 -> 19:02.720] know where he's racing in a car where [19:02.720 -> 19:04.240] his teammate is competing for like [19:04.240 -> 19:10.160] podiums he's gonna he's gonna feel a lot of pressure. He's gonna be trying to maximize it. That is bold my friend [19:10.160 -> 19:13.840] Well strolls death. I think he'll definitely get a podium this year. Don't you? [19:15.720 -> 19:21.800] What I just I don't know mate honestly don't know why I hope so I said to you the beginning this race [19:21.800 -> 19:29.380] Why are like no cars randomly DNF in like I swear last season you'd have like loads of like, oh the Red Bulls on the side of track power failure [19:29.380 -> 19:32.720] I think that was probably because last year first year with a new car [19:33.000 -> 19:37.380] Was it? Probably trying to get the grips with the new car and now they're they're probably you know [19:37.380 -> 19:39.180] Well, they've had a whole year [19:39.180 -> 19:41.580] to sit with that car and figure it out, so I [19:42.260 -> 19:48.520] Guess that must be the reason why. Mercedes also have a little bit of breaking news saying that in Imola they are bringing [19:48.520 -> 19:55.080] some big special upgrades. Oh! Yes apparently they are. Righto. Yeah which means a new [19:55.080 -> 20:00.280] front suspension and the idea is that the whole car should be a lot more [20:00.280 -> 20:06.680] balanced. Yeah yeah well I can get down with that because the Golf just went in for its MOT guys. [20:06.680 -> 20:07.880] Oh yeah. [20:07.880 -> 20:09.840] Failed the MOT. [20:09.840 -> 20:12.240] Right, I will get back to Mercedes by the way, [20:12.240 -> 20:13.900] but we may as well tell this story now [20:13.900 -> 20:15.960] because it's just popped into my head. [20:15.960 -> 20:18.880] The Golf failed the MOT guys, all right? [20:18.880 -> 20:21.940] And I'm thinking, all right, I've got an engine light on, [20:21.940 -> 20:23.800] I've got a glow plug light on, [20:23.800 -> 20:26.480] it's probably gonna be £100. [20:26.480 -> 20:29.280] Yeah, that's kind of what you expect. [20:29.280 -> 20:34.080] £200. That's reasonable, alright. I could probably about afford that. £1000. [20:34.080 -> 20:36.640] Yeah, that's a lot of money, mate. [20:36.640 -> 20:43.200] I get this report back and it says there's a piece of plastic which stops the dirt going [20:43.200 -> 20:45.240] into a certain part of the car right and [20:45.460 -> 20:51.680] This piece of plastic has got a little hole in it tiny little hole, which means it's not stopping the dirt anymore [20:52.340 -> 20:56.200] But you can't just replace that piece of plastic you have to replace the whole [20:56.880 -> 20:59.320] I've been scammed but well [21:02.500 -> 21:05.640] I think I probably have as well. That's a lot of money for your car. [21:05.640 -> 21:08.040] No, it was one of the advisories was that my wishbone [21:08.040 -> 21:11.080] needed to be replaced, which is similar to what George [21:11.080 -> 21:13.840] with the suspension, I've had it replaced. [21:13.840 -> 21:15.960] And now my car is a lot more balanced. [21:15.960 -> 21:18.200] So I can really slam it around the corners. [21:18.200 -> 21:19.800] No, I'm joking. [21:19.800 -> 21:20.960] But it just feels a lot better. [21:20.960 -> 21:22.800] But they really messed up. [21:22.800 -> 21:24.080] They really messed up, yeah. [21:24.080 -> 21:27.020] Because as I picked my car up, [21:27.960 -> 21:28.960] bloke handed me the keys, [21:28.960 -> 21:31.320] I went to go and get in the car, leave the car park, [21:31.320 -> 21:33.400] and the brakes didn't work. [21:33.400 -> 21:35.680] You can't really drive a car without brakes. [21:35.680 -> 21:39.060] If anyone's been listening to the pod since last year, [21:39.060 -> 21:41.800] you might remember a familiar story of Fab [21:41.800 -> 21:44.720] driving back from work when I was working last year, [21:44.720 -> 21:45.600] and my brakes [21:45.600 -> 21:49.240] stopped working and I had to drive all the way back from South to East London [21:49.240 -> 21:57.480] with no brakes horrendous that is awful mate I'm talking to the regional manager [21:57.480 -> 22:04.560] Tuesday I am because I want to make a claim mate because look as I'm coming [22:04.560 -> 22:05.040] down the ramp [22:05.040 -> 22:09.160] leaving the car park it comes out onto a dual carriageway and the car didn't [22:09.160 -> 22:13.400] stop and I've my cars rolled out into the road and another car was coming [22:13.400 -> 22:16.760] well I could I could have been here did you do like swim out the way because [22:16.760 -> 22:19.880] you know you're pretty good at driving [22:22.520 -> 22:29.640] I'm so good I'm a girl I dropped it down in a second and went straight through. [22:29.640 -> 22:34.120] But look, that's seriously dangerous and if I had had a crash, you know, I don't want [22:34.120 -> 22:37.880] anything like that to happen so I'm just going to clear it up with the regional manager on [22:37.880 -> 22:38.880] Tuesday. [22:38.880 -> 22:41.320] Anyway, the breaks have been fixed by the way, just to let you know. [22:41.320 -> 22:43.800] Great, thanks for that lovely story. [22:43.800 -> 22:50.280] Mark Priestley is a man who has been at F1 Miami this weekend. Mark Priestley is a man of many talents [22:50.280 -> 22:54.880] it seems. One of my favorite guests we've ever had on we could have chatted with [22:54.880 -> 22:58.280] him for hours like he had some of the best stories but he's been out in Miami [22:58.280 -> 23:01.800] and he's been posting on his stories on Instagram but what's interesting is [23:01.800 -> 23:04.960] obviously he was a top mechanic like he was working within the garages he was in [23:04.960 -> 23:06.440] F1 for a long time yeah but he's this is, obviously he was a top mechanic, like he was working within the garages, he was in F1 for a long time. [23:06.440 -> 23:09.480] But this was the first race weekend in the history, [23:09.480 -> 23:11.200] he's gone and watched it as a fan. [23:11.200 -> 23:12.040] In history? [23:12.040 -> 23:13.280] Like, in his history. [23:13.280 -> 23:14.100] Wow. [23:14.100 -> 23:16.320] So he went as a fan and watched it from the other side. [23:16.320 -> 23:17.160] Yeah, that's cool. [23:17.160 -> 23:18.000] And he was sat like in the fan zone, [23:18.000 -> 23:20.320] he was walking around making videos, talking about it. [23:20.320 -> 23:21.160] I like that. [23:21.160 -> 23:22.880] Yeah, and what I took from it at the end [23:22.880 -> 23:24.520] is he just put one up just now and he said, [23:24.520 -> 23:29.800] wow, amazing experience, loved watching it. but he said he just was so hard for him to figure out what was going on [23:30.560 -> 23:36.920] But even he said that right because when we always go and we watch it from that side when we've been yeah [23:36.920 -> 23:40.760] It is hard isn't it unless you've got perfect view of a screen. It's tough [23:40.760 -> 23:46.840] I mean not any other sport is like is is like this because you know, you know football fucking anything [23:46.840 -> 23:49.800] It's like you can see it all down at the pitch. Yeah, so [23:50.320 -> 23:54.640] Yeah, I mean, that's the first thing that I know is to me never whenever you and me have been to a race [23:54.640 -> 23:57.880] I think we've you know, we've only ever done four we've done four races. I mean [23:58.820 -> 24:00.820] You end up watching it on a screen [24:00.880 -> 24:07.640] Which is kind of sad because they go past so quick how do you think they could combat do you reckon there's anything f1 could do that could let [24:07.640 -> 24:12.680] everyone in the crowd know who's where you just have to build a massive like [24:12.680 -> 24:19.040] done massive stadium imagine that f1 became like stadium and the grandstands [24:19.040 -> 24:23.680] see the grandstands are just so high up and you can just look right down into [24:23.680 -> 24:26.200] the track but it couldn't be a round stadium though could it? [24:26.200 -> 24:31.600] It would more just have to be a whole track that had turns but had a stadium built all the way around it. [24:31.600 -> 24:35.080] Or what you could do is just build like a massive crater in the earth. [24:35.080 -> 24:38.200] Like you know when you see like a mine or something when they're mining for stuff? [24:38.200 -> 24:39.200] Yeah yeah yeah. [24:39.200 -> 24:40.960] And you have all the quarries or whatever they are. [24:40.960 -> 24:47.840] They could just build a track that's like in the ground and then everyone's surface level just staring into this track. [24:47.840 -> 24:48.840] That's true. [24:48.840 -> 24:50.840] It could actually work, mate. [24:50.840 -> 24:51.840] Maybe. [24:51.840 -> 24:55.440] Because I get what people mean because if you're like standing on a hill or you're in [24:55.440 -> 24:59.880] a grandstand, all the cars go past, unless you've got perfect, a screen might be a bit [24:59.880 -> 25:03.520] way away and you're still looking at that trying to see the times, trying to figure [25:03.520 -> 25:04.520] it out. [25:04.520 -> 25:08.240] Mate, I think anything will work if you just set your mind to it you [25:08.240 -> 25:13.580] know banked corners. Oh yeah we had a bit of feedback on that. A lot of people got [25:13.580 -> 25:17.800] back and said that banked corners are banned. What about Zandvoort? Well yeah [25:17.800 -> 25:23.040] but that's F122 replay are they gonna be in F123? That's just the Zandvoort [25:23.040 -> 25:25.480] circuit we were at Zandvoort. [25:25.480 -> 25:26.800] Yeah, I love them bank corners. [25:26.800 -> 25:28.760] Are bank corners actually banned? [25:28.760 -> 25:30.240] Or are people lying to us? [25:30.240 -> 25:31.520] I don't know. [25:31.520 -> 25:34.420] Maybe they just won't reintroduce them ever again, [25:34.420 -> 25:37.000] but apparently they're too dangerous. [25:37.000 -> 25:37.840] I don't really know. [25:37.840 -> 25:38.660] I don't really get it. [25:38.660 -> 25:40.640] I suppose because the cars are going so fast, [25:40.640 -> 25:43.280] but we need like a tech, [25:43.280 -> 25:45.520] a tech guy on here to explain to us why bank corners are so dangerous. [25:45.520 -> 25:49.520] On Zandvoort though, they're key. They're so key. They're like, they're two of the best corners with them. [25:49.520 -> 25:53.120] Yeah. The bank corner in the middle just after the beginning and that one at the end. [25:53.120 -> 26:02.480] Cor, you can absolutely, I love a bank corner. Yeah, well I would just, I would love for you and me to be given like the permission to design a circuit. [26:02.480 -> 26:05.440] Because it would be the craziest circuit as we [26:05.440 -> 26:10.320] found out many many episodes ago. Yeah we found out many episodes ago that you can [26:10.320 -> 26:16.320] drive a f1 car upside down so why aren't they doing it in a race yet? [26:16.320 -> 26:21.200] Yeah you can drive an f1 car upside down if you've got enough speed you're going through a [26:21.200 -> 26:27.400] tunnel when you go upside down but what if someone breaks if they have to do it in real life and you have to slam the [26:27.400 -> 26:31.120] brakes and you're just gonna fall straight out the sky. You have to think [26:31.120 -> 26:34.940] about these things if you want the job of designing tracks. Of course mate yeah [26:34.940 -> 26:38.440] I mean I've thought about it just don't break when you're upside down. Yeah look [26:38.440 -> 26:42.320] Miami was amazing and I really wish we were there I think this whole spectacle [26:42.320 -> 26:48.000] and the parties and everything of Miami looks incredible. Obviously the guests there. [26:48.000 -> 26:52.200] Zazz around it, yeah. It's F1 on a grand scale isn't it? [26:52.200 -> 26:53.400] Yeah. But the race! [26:53.400 -> 26:57.600] It's exciting to see as well because it shows you where F1 could go in the next few years. [26:57.600 -> 26:59.800] And it shows you the excitement in America in that. [26:59.800 -> 27:00.300] Yeah. [27:00.300 -> 27:05.360] But even that like thing, that walkout thing at the beginning, like like I don't know like who's come up with that idea [27:05.440 -> 27:07.440] Like it's it could work [27:07.520 -> 27:11.120] But it's got to change. It's too much lately. It was so long [27:11.760 -> 27:14.960] Yeah, I bring them out in their pairs. Do you know what it is? [27:15.760 -> 27:21.620] Slando norris, loscopiastri, that would be quicker bang bang bang. It's it's just not it's not an exciting [27:22.160 -> 27:26.440] Race, I don't think they changed some of the DRS zones for this, [27:26.440 -> 27:29.160] but apart from that, they hadn't changed the track at all. [27:29.160 -> 27:31.160] And I think next year they're gonna have to, mate, [27:31.160 -> 27:34.040] because all we saw in this was another DRS train [27:34.040 -> 27:35.600] in the midfield for most of it. [27:35.600 -> 27:38.760] Red Bulls out front, nothing, just nothing new. [27:38.760 -> 27:40.860] I saw a video from P1 Matt and Tommy, [27:40.860 -> 27:42.720] and they were talking about the DRS trains, [27:42.720 -> 27:44.980] just saying how the midfield just aren't able [27:44.980 -> 27:47.020] to do anything, because as soon as they're in a [27:47.020 -> 27:51.240] train and that's like one of the biggest problems F1 has right now that obviously [27:51.240 -> 27:54.320] Red Bull are out front which it means they're probably gonna win every week but in the [27:54.320 -> 27:58.840] middle they just it's really hard for them to overtake because it's just [27:58.840 -> 28:04.680] trains, DRS and it yeah just wasn't the most exciting race was it but we had [28:04.680 -> 28:05.080] Alonso [28:05.080 -> 28:09.780] on the podium which is which is good news it just yeah it's um I don't know [28:09.780 -> 28:12.120] we got Imola next I think that's gonna be a lot more exciting [28:12.120 -> 28:18.420] which is our first ever race we went to it is yeah memories oh man it was we've [28:18.420 -> 28:21.880] been filming the whole year behind the scenes it was raining footage no one has [28:21.880 -> 28:27.080] seen it was yeah I know we're gonna be putting out a doc at some point [28:27.080 -> 28:28.480] so you guys can see everything. [28:28.480 -> 28:30.840] We tried to edit it but my laptop is so broken [28:30.840 -> 28:32.960] that it just freezes every time I import the footage. [28:32.960 -> 28:34.280] I've genuinely not even got, [28:34.280 -> 28:36.000] some of my keys are hanging off my Mac. [28:36.000 -> 28:37.840] We filmed loads, because we put a teaser out. [28:37.840 -> 28:40.600] We filmed like, we both sat down in chairs [28:40.600 -> 28:43.720] and like spoke about the last year. [28:43.720 -> 28:45.080] That feels like ages ago. [28:45.080 -> 28:46.200] We never did anything with it. [28:46.200 -> 28:48.360] So we'll just film a better one guys. [28:48.360 -> 28:49.180] Don't worry about it. [28:49.180 -> 28:50.020] It's coming. [28:51.600 -> 28:54.740] So Jake, that is a wrap on the Miami Grand Prix. [28:54.740 -> 28:58.020] We just sat here watching kind of the aftermath of the race. [28:58.020 -> 28:58.960] Looks like it's kicking off. [28:58.960 -> 29:00.340] It's going to be big parties tonight. [29:00.340 -> 29:02.320] Red Bull going to be celebrating. [29:02.320 -> 29:04.160] Miami is going to be sick. [29:04.160 -> 29:08.040] I feel like a load of celebrities just fly into Miami. [29:08.040 -> 29:10.100] Like maybe they haven't gone to watch the race, [29:10.100 -> 29:11.720] but they're just there for the party. [29:11.720 -> 29:12.560] Oh, there'll be a lot of people [29:12.560 -> 29:13.600] that go just for the party. [29:13.600 -> 29:15.840] Yeah, you know, there's like a big Red Bull party. [29:15.840 -> 29:18.400] And I saw the Nelk boys are in Miami. [29:18.400 -> 29:19.320] That's pretty cool. [29:19.320 -> 29:22.200] Yeah, everyone would wanna be there right now. [29:22.200 -> 29:23.720] I wanna be there so bad. [29:23.720 -> 29:24.560] I know. [29:24.560 -> 29:28.840] We keep seeing people we know on TV and it's just like oh so jealous so [29:28.840 -> 29:32.680] many beautiful people in Miami literally everyone that walks past the camera [29:32.680 -> 29:35.520] right now looks like a supermodel it's ridiculous [29:35.520 -> 29:46.160] especially Jensen Button well you can wrap that up. Especially Jenson Button. [29:46.160 -> 29:48.800] Yeah Jenson Button has got quite a nice watch on. [29:48.800 -> 29:51.640] That's quite a nice gold Rolex there. [29:51.640 -> 29:53.120] Do you know what? [29:53.120 -> 29:57.840] Right we did the watch check with JM and I want to do it with our guests going forward [29:57.840 -> 30:03.000] but I completely forgot that we did a watch check with fucking Jenson Button. [30:03.000 -> 30:10.240] I can't believe we've done a pod with Jenson Button. That day I was absolutely shit scared. Bro, bricking it. I remember we [30:10.240 -> 30:13.560] called Uber, we went downstairs and we took all of our stuff in a suitcase [30:13.560 -> 30:16.920] didn't we? Me and you were lugging all that camera gear across London thinking [30:16.920 -> 30:22.720] oh shit we're about to go film with Jenson Button and I was like, had no idea [30:22.720 -> 30:26.860] what to expect because we've never filmed with like me it was ridiculous [30:27.260 -> 30:32.300] Literally two months before I was like building a block of garden fence for someone [30:32.660 -> 30:36.920] Like with my mate and then all of a sudden I'm in a hotel room talking to Jensen button [30:36.920 -> 30:42.500] It was weird. We were filming it on an iPhone as well. We were filming on my iPhone my iPhone overheated [30:42.500 -> 30:45.600] It was the footage was just so blurry of Jensen. [30:45.600 -> 30:49.760] Yeah and I love how we had the iPhone on Jensen and the camera on us. [30:51.520 -> 30:52.640] That was a weird move. [30:52.640 -> 30:56.560] We absolutely blame that but wow yeah that was an amazing opportunity, I love Jensen on Sky [30:56.560 -> 30:59.120] and I also think Lazenby is hilarious. [30:59.120 -> 31:02.960] Yeah it's going to be a sad day when we lose like a member of, I mean I don't like, not [31:03.920 -> 31:08.240] die but like when someone like leaves the Sky team because I feel like I'm so fond of [31:08.240 -> 31:14.720] all of them now like Brundle, Lazenby, especially Jenson, someone like Gnomes [31:14.720 -> 31:18.400] will stick around for ages I reckon. Yeah because she's new. Yeah but like you know [31:18.400 -> 31:22.160] Crofty. Yeah that's what I was going to say, imagine when Crofty goes who would be the next [31:22.160 -> 31:28.560] critic? It's got to be Matt Gallagher. It's got gotta be Matt Gallagher. We asked Matt if he would do the commentary after Crofty. [31:28.560 -> 31:30.240] And he said... [31:30.240 -> 31:31.360] I won't tell you what the answer was. [31:31.360 -> 31:32.720] Oh yeah, we can't share the answer.
