Guys, we had a world champion on our podcast, the one and only Jenson Button. Jenson Button, and I have [01:51.800 -> 01:56.440] no idea how we did it. We got very lucky. Sky Sports F1 sorted us right out, got us [01:56.440 -> 02:00.960] the time with Jenson. Yeah, so grateful for that. We really hope you enjoy the podcast [02:00.960 -> 02:08.720] with him.

[02:13.920 -> 02:17.680] This guy is like the best of the best. Yeah, Fab watched him when he was younger. What [02:17.680 -> 02:23.160] else do you know about Jenson Button? Well, he won the title in 2009. Yeah, with Braun. [02:23.160 -> 02:26.160] He moved to many teams. He was Lewis Hamilton's teammate at one point. [02:26.160 -> 02:27.000] Yeah, Fizikello. [02:27.000 -> 02:27.960] Barry Kello's teammate. [02:27.960 -> 02:28.840] Barry Kello. [02:28.840 -> 02:29.680] Mate, look at this. [02:29.680 -> 02:30.500] Fernando Alonso. [02:30.500 -> 02:31.340] We are flying out this. [02:31.340 -> 02:32.160] Fernando Alonso. [02:32.160 -> 02:33.000] Yeah. [02:33.000 -> 02:33.840] Did he actually teammate Fernando Alonso? [02:33.840 -> 02:34.800] I think so, yeah. [02:34.800 -> 02:35.720] That is ledge. [02:35.720 -> 02:36.560] Yeah. [02:36.560 -> 02:37.380] That's wrong. [02:37.380 -> 02:38.220] I'm brand.

[02:41.980 -> 02:44.520] 309 races in Formula One. [02:44.520 -> 02:47.880] 15 race wins. 8 pole positions, [02:47.880 -> 02:53.080] guess how many podiums? Oh I don't know, 30? You reckon Jenson Button had 30 podiums? I [02:53.080 -> 02:57.920] give you multiple choice, 30, 40 or 50. Oh I was close then. Yeah it could be 30. Yeah [02:57.920 -> 03:04.040] I'm gonna go with 30. Okay it's 50. Impressive though, very impressive. Today's episode is [03:04.040 -> 03:06.440] with the one and only Jensen Button. [03:06.440 -> 03:08.000] We wish it was a little bit longer. [03:08.000 -> 03:12.160] Jensen was really busy, but I will say thanks so much to him for coming on the podcast because [03:12.160 -> 03:14.560] he's come over from America, he's got a mad busy week. [03:14.560 -> 03:19.320] He went straight out after and he was going around London with his wife, you know, they [03:19.320 -> 03:20.320] were exploring. [03:20.320 -> 03:22.520] So yeah, we're just grateful we got this time with him. [03:22.520 -> 03:29.520] So enjoy the podcast and we'll be back after to give you our predictions. If this is crazy, we will roll the music [03:35.560 -> 03:37.840] Welcome back to the pit stop [03:38.400 -> 03:45.480] Podcast ladies and gentlemen today. We have the special guest you have been waiting for. Wow. It's a pretty big one. [03:45.480 -> 03:46.480] This is a big one. [03:46.480 -> 03:49.080] We have got a world champion sat in front of us. [03:49.080 -> 03:50.880] That is a serious statement. [03:50.880 -> 03:53.120] Ladies and gentlemen, it's Jenson Button. [03:53.120 -> 03:54.120] Woohoo. [03:54.120 -> 03:55.120] Thank you very much. [03:55.120 -> 03:56.120] That was a round of applause. [03:56.120 -> 03:57.120] Thank you. [03:57.120 -> 03:58.120] Yeah, the world champion. [03:58.120 -> 03:59.120] Wow. [03:59.120 -> 04:00.120] Thank you. [04:00.120 -> 04:01.760] That is an unbelievable thing to be able to say. [04:01.760 -> 04:02.760] Yeah. [04:02.760 -> 04:05.160] It's a big moment for us to be sat opposite someone like yourself. [04:05.160 -> 04:08.320] Just to say, I grew up as a kid watching you and my dad. [04:08.320 -> 04:09.160] Oh, really? [04:09.160 -> 04:11.760] Yeah, so to now be sat here across the table from you [04:11.760 -> 04:12.840] is pretty weird. [04:12.840 -> 04:16.520] It's funny actually, if somebody notices me in the paddock, [04:16.520 -> 04:20.320] normally it's, oh, by the way, my dad is a big fan of yours. [04:20.320 -> 04:22.920] It's like, now I feel really old. [04:22.920 -> 04:26.120] Yeah, I'm 26 and I was probably like 10, 10 years old [04:26.120 -> 04:27.240] and I used to watch on the TV. [04:27.240 -> 04:28.080] Okay, cool. [04:28.080 -> 04:29.240] So yeah, it's kind of a weird scenario [04:29.240 -> 04:30.880] but I'm just rolling with it right now. [04:30.880 -> 04:31.720] But how are you man? [04:31.720 -> 04:32.560] Good. [04:32.560 -> 04:33.380] I'm good, thank you. [04:33.380 -> 04:35.480] It's been a busy, it always is really busy [04:35.480 -> 04:37.320] leading up to the British Grand Prix. [04:38.200 -> 04:39.960] Mostly just for the drivers, but for me, [04:39.960 -> 04:42.520] I make sure that this is a busy time for me [04:42.520 -> 04:43.920] because I'm not in the UK very often. [04:43.920 -> 04:44.760] So. [04:44.760 -> 04:45.460] Do you live in Monaco? [04:45.460 -> 04:47.220] No, I live in LA. [04:47.220 -> 04:49.060] Oh wow, I love LA. [04:49.060 -> 04:50.660] This is a long way from home. [04:50.660 -> 04:51.500] Yeah. [04:51.500 -> 04:54.820] So I've been at Goodwood for four days, driving fast cars. [04:54.820 -> 04:55.660] Yeah, we saw you. [04:55.660 -> 04:57.540] You walked past us and we were gonna come over [04:57.540 -> 04:58.700] but we were like, no, he's busy. [04:58.700 -> 05:00.660] Yeah, I would have been like, who, what? [05:00.660 -> 05:02.700] What'd you do? [05:02.700 -> 05:04.280] But now I know. [05:04.280 -> 05:06.000] But yeah, I was there for four days [05:06.000 -> 05:08.000] and yesterday I was at Wimbledon, which was quite fun [05:08.000 -> 05:10.000] with Rolex, which is lovely. [05:10.000 -> 05:12.000] I hope they sorted you out a nice watch or anything. [05:12.000 -> 05:14.000] Yeah, they did actually. [05:14.000 -> 05:16.000] What? What are we doing wrong here? [05:16.000 -> 05:18.000] I'm actually wearing my [05:18.000 -> 05:20.000] I bought this in 2000. [05:20.000 -> 05:22.000] Oh wow. I sorted this out [05:22.000 -> 05:24.000] for myself. So it's 22 years old. It was my gift to me [05:24.000 -> 05:25.300] when I got into Formula One [05:25.300 -> 05:27.700] Well, we said this to ourselves like two days ago [05:27.700 -> 05:31.840] Like as soon as pit stops like really making we're gonna just go out and buy ourselves a couple of Rolex [05:31.840 -> 05:38.320] I'm gonna spend the money. Apparently they don't go down in value. So no, it seems that the more you can buy one [05:38.320 -> 05:42.540] That's the thing. You just can't buy anything at the moment. No any luxury goods. You cannot buy [05:43.140 -> 05:45.040] Even if you offer stupid money. So good [05:45.040 -> 05:46.040] luck to you. [05:46.040 -> 05:47.040] Thank you. [05:47.040 -> 05:48.040] Thank you, Jensen. [05:48.040 -> 05:49.640] We need to get a few more ads on the podcast, but we'll get there one day. [05:49.640 -> 05:50.640] Yeah, we'll get there. We'll get there. [05:50.640 -> 05:51.640] Sellouts. [05:51.640 -> 05:55.640] We're very open with our audience. We've got to do what we've got to do. [05:55.640 -> 05:57.320] You have to. Totally agree. [05:57.320 -> 06:00.920] So you're going to be at Silverstone this weekend. I guess, are you essentially Sky's [06:00.920 -> 06:03.120] like expert analyst now? Is that what you- [06:03.120 -> 06:05.120] That's what they call me, but I don't know about that. [06:05.120 -> 06:05.960] No. [06:05.960 -> 06:09.000] You know, I kind of know what I'm talking about [06:09.000 -> 06:10.200] and then it gets too technical [06:10.200 -> 06:12.680] and I have to hand it over to like Ted Kravitz [06:12.680 -> 06:14.160] or Karun Chandok. [06:14.160 -> 06:15.280] For some reason, Karun Chandok, [06:15.280 -> 06:17.120] I think he lives in a Formula One car. [06:17.120 -> 06:17.960] Yeah. [06:17.960 -> 06:19.120] Because he knows everything. [06:19.120 -> 06:20.360] It's very impressive, but no, [06:20.360 -> 06:24.580] I definitely understand the mindset of a racing driver, [06:24.580 -> 06:26.120] what they're going through, [06:26.120 -> 06:29.480] and how that dynamic is with working with a team, [06:29.480 -> 06:31.200] and the engineering, and the mechanics and stuff. [06:31.200 -> 06:33.080] So I love that aspect of it, [06:33.080 -> 06:35.860] and I love interviewing the drivers [06:35.860 -> 06:37.080] straight after the race. [06:37.080 -> 06:38.840] I've been lucky enough to do that quite a few times now, [06:38.840 -> 06:40.960] and you see that raw emotion there. [06:40.960 -> 06:42.280] Before they've had time to relax [06:42.280 -> 06:44.560] and think about what they're supposed to say, [06:44.560 -> 06:47.640] they say what just comes into their head which is a good tactic [06:47.640 -> 06:50.800] actually you can get like some some bits I know which you wouldn't before and [06:50.800 -> 06:54.080] also because I'm asking the question I've raced with most of them so they're [06:54.080 -> 06:59.120] a little bit more relaxed then you hit him with a hard question it's it's been [06:59.120 -> 07:02.240] a lot of fun that's one thing we were thinking that when you were racing did [07:02.240 -> 07:06.640] you ever imagine yourself being like the presenter or then interviewing people after? [07:06.640 -> 07:08.320] Did you ever think you'd do this with your career? [07:08.320 -> 07:09.880] No, I didn't actually. [07:09.880 -> 07:13.440] And to be fair, I didn't think I'd enjoy it. [07:13.440 -> 07:14.960] You know, I was like, why would I want to be in F1 [07:14.960 -> 07:17.280] if I'm not doing the driving part? [07:17.280 -> 07:21.320] But I work with a really cool group of people in Sky [07:21.320 -> 07:24.400] and it's pushing myself to do something [07:24.400 -> 07:25.760] that I'm uncomfortable with doing, [07:25.760 -> 07:29.180] which is being in front of the camera, asking questions. [07:29.180 -> 07:31.600] I find it 10 times harder than answering them. [07:32.460 -> 07:35.100] It's initially the first year I did it, [07:35.100 -> 07:36.800] I remember saying to my missus, [07:36.800 -> 07:40.720] I'm doing the post-race questions to the drivers, [07:40.720 -> 07:42.840] live to the world. [07:42.840 -> 07:44.200] It's not just on Sky Sports F1, [07:44.200 -> 07:46.420] that one's to the world, it's the world feed. [07:46.420 -> 07:48.080] I said, what if I mess up? [07:48.080 -> 07:50.120] She said, what if you mess up? [07:50.120 -> 07:51.760] So what's the worst that's gonna happen? [07:51.760 -> 07:53.120] That's so funny hearing that from you, [07:53.120 -> 07:55.000] like being in a race, being a driver, [07:55.000 -> 07:56.320] trying to win and you're getting nervous [07:56.320 -> 07:57.240] about asking questions. [07:57.240 -> 07:58.600] Well, because it's the other way around. [07:58.600 -> 08:00.840] It's you need to, you know, [08:00.840 -> 08:03.520] you need to ask the good questions [08:03.520 -> 08:04.800] that you know you're gonna get a good answer from. [08:04.800 -> 08:07.120] So my missus was just like, so what? [08:07.120 -> 08:08.840] She said, just go with it. [08:08.840 -> 08:09.980] I was like, yeah, you're right, actually. [08:09.980 -> 08:11.100] What is the worst that can happen? [08:11.100 -> 08:13.200] And ever since then, I've really enjoyed it, [08:13.200 -> 08:14.360] and I work with some great people. [08:14.360 -> 08:16.840] Lays and B's good, really good. [08:16.840 -> 08:18.080] And when I've done commentary, [08:18.080 -> 08:19.840] I've been with Croft, the Croft, [08:19.840 -> 08:23.240] Croftmeister in the box, which has been a lot of fun. [08:23.240 -> 08:24.480] So no, great group of people, [08:24.480 -> 08:25.960] and really enjoying [08:25.960 -> 08:27.120] the challenge of it, really. [08:27.120 -> 08:27.960] It's really nice. [08:27.960 -> 08:29.900] I mean, there's so many, they've got so many new presenters [08:29.900 -> 08:31.780] now for Sky and just F1 in general, [08:31.780 -> 08:34.720] but you still need to have like the recognizable names [08:34.720 -> 08:35.540] and faces. [08:35.540 -> 08:37.700] Like I think if you got rid of Brundle, [08:37.700 -> 08:39.040] it just wouldn't be F1 anymore. [08:39.040 -> 08:41.600] Like he needs to do those grid walks. [08:41.600 -> 08:43.560] Yeah, I can't imagine doing those grid walks. [08:43.560 -> 08:44.400] No. [08:44.400 -> 08:45.160] I mean, I would hate [08:45.160 -> 08:50.040] getting someone's name wrong. Martin's definitely done that. I've done it so much. [08:50.040 -> 08:54.120] It's the entertainment when you bring someone to talk and they don't talk. I absolutely love it. [08:54.120 -> 08:57.600] Yeah I think it's awesome but yeah he got I think it was Venus and Serena he [08:57.600 -> 09:01.480] got around the wrong way. Oh did he? Yeah I think some of that might be my fault [09:01.480 -> 09:06.360] actually. Oh no. But, I do love that. [09:06.360 -> 09:08.320] I love that the grid walk, but no, [09:08.320 -> 09:09.720] it's a good group of people. [09:09.720 -> 09:11.360] And it's such a hectic weekend. [09:11.360 -> 09:13.800] There's so much going on at the moment. [09:13.800 -> 09:16.260] You know, so much talent in the sport, [09:16.260 -> 09:20.160] so many personalities and F1 is in a great place [09:20.160 -> 09:22.120] as you guys know at the moment. [09:22.120 -> 09:23.640] That's kind of what we wanted to ask, wouldn't it? [09:23.640 -> 09:27.200] I mean, the sport has changed so much recently [09:27.200 -> 09:29.040] and I guess the drivers have as well. [09:29.040 -> 09:31.120] How would you compare like the sport now [09:31.120 -> 09:34.320] to how it was when you first started in like the early 2000s? [09:34.320 -> 09:39.120] I think in Europe, it's probably very similar. [09:39.120 -> 09:43.680] You know, the sport was very big when I got into Formula One. [09:43.680 -> 09:45.720] It sort of tailed off a little bit, [09:45.720 -> 09:48.640] sort of seven or eight years into my career. [09:48.640 -> 09:51.960] I think when Michael left, it left quite a big hole, [09:51.960 -> 09:54.140] especially in Germany for the sport. [09:54.140 -> 09:56.880] But it was pretty big when I first got into the sport, [09:56.880 -> 10:01.200] but it was very tricky to break into Formula One [10:01.200 -> 10:03.580] as a youngster, so when I got in at 20, [10:06.920 -> 10:08.520] it was a real shock to the system that I got the opportunity to race in F1. [10:08.520 -> 10:10.920] I felt it was a weird feeling going out on track [10:10.920 -> 10:12.640] behind Michael Schumacher. [10:12.640 -> 10:14.440] It's the first thing, you know, driving out. [10:14.440 -> 10:16.320] We need to ask how that was, [10:16.320 -> 10:18.040] because being new fans, [10:18.040 -> 10:20.400] we didn't have a chance to watch all the amazing races. [10:20.400 -> 10:22.460] We know the history, we hear about it, [10:22.460 -> 10:24.420] we see the clips, incredible. [10:24.420 -> 10:26.320] But you've shared the track with Schumacher. [10:26.320 -> 10:31.560] Yeah, I drove out the pits in Melbourne, which is the first race in FP1, first practice, [10:31.560 -> 10:37.560] drove out on the track behind him, and I remember driving out, feeling pretty emotional, and [10:37.560 -> 10:43.080] then you heard the big V10 engine, and then the rooster tail of leaves that had fallen [10:43.080 -> 10:45.040] off the trees, it turned two, [10:45.040 -> 10:46.480] coming out of the back of the Ferrari, [10:46.480 -> 10:48.920] I was just like, wow, this is just nuts. [10:48.920 -> 10:50.600] As a 20 year old kid, you know, [10:50.600 -> 10:53.040] think about what a 20 year old kid normally is doing [10:53.040 -> 10:55.280] racing in Formula One in Australia. [10:55.280 -> 11:00.280] So, no, it was a, yeah, it was a very special moment. [11:00.280 -> 11:02.120] I suppose you have to just put all your emotions aside [11:02.120 -> 11:04.400] for that, for those 50, 60 laps or whatever you're doing. [11:04.400 -> 11:08.000] Cause I think for me, it would just get the of me. Yeah, if I was like, oh shit [11:08.000 -> 11:13.040] Yeah, well, I think is when you actually start driving you forget you forget the outside world, which you have to otherwise [11:13.280 -> 11:15.640] There's too much going through your head, you know, you need to focus [11:16.440 -> 11:21.160] But no the difference is now I think you know, obviously stateside the sports really big [11:22.380 -> 11:25.620] Everyone's got a phone. Everyone's got a camera on their phone. [11:25.620 -> 11:28.480] So you are, you're in the limelight, I guess a lot more [11:28.480 -> 11:30.880] and you can't really go anywhere as a racing driver [11:30.880 -> 11:31.840] and not get pictured. [11:31.840 -> 11:33.920] They are like proper stars now. [11:33.920 -> 11:35.080] I mean, they were before anyway, [11:35.080 -> 11:36.560] but now cause you see them everywhere. [11:36.560 -> 11:38.800] Yeah, we definitely had more freedom as a driver. [11:38.800 -> 11:42.120] I mean, we could, we go to a nightclub and have fun [11:42.120 -> 11:43.960] and not worry about getting pictured. [11:43.960 -> 11:48.520] Yeah, we were out the other day in Barcelona and a few drivers that managed to sneak into the club [11:48.520 -> 11:50.320] and they were partying and it was good to see. [11:50.320 -> 11:51.440] They had their own section of it. [11:51.440 -> 11:55.640] You want to be able to see that because at the end of the day it wasn't a normal person, they need to relax, they need to switch off. [11:55.640 -> 12:00.640] Yeah and it's a shame, I mean I was good with the weekend and you know it's full of racing people [12:00.640 -> 12:08.480] and they have a black tie ball on the Saturday, which my missus was there and it was just lovely with friends. But then you're a few drinks in and you're dancing [12:08.480 -> 12:11.640] the dance floor and someone comes over and asks for a picture. I find that [12:11.640 -> 12:18.040] kind of just uncomfortable because I'm not gonna look my best. [12:18.040 -> 12:23.520] But you're there with your missus and you're dancing away and it just kind of breaks the moment a [12:23.520 -> 12:27.960] little bit of having fun. And I can imagine for drivers these days it's [12:27.960 -> 12:33.160] non-stop so yeah but you know what I think a lot of them have embraced it I [12:33.160 -> 12:40.960] think Drive to Survive has you know changed a lot of drivers views of having [12:40.960 -> 12:45.720] a camera shoved in your face a lot of us didn't really like it before. [12:45.720 -> 12:47.360] It's like, I'm here to race, you know, [12:47.360 -> 12:49.040] I just wanna race and I'll do that bit [12:49.040 -> 12:50.160] because it's part of the job. [12:50.160 -> 12:51.160] Was that your mindset? [12:51.160 -> 12:52.000] Yeah, it was. [12:52.000 -> 12:55.200] And I would do the best I could in front of the camera [12:55.200 -> 12:58.320] and be as polite as I could, [12:58.320 -> 12:59.920] but that's not the bit you love. [12:59.920 -> 13:03.480] You loved the bit, the driving part of it. [13:03.480 -> 13:05.460] And I think for me in my career, [13:05.460 -> 13:07.520] I went through a stage which was great the first year [13:07.520 -> 13:10.280] and I trusted everyone and all the journalists. [13:10.280 -> 13:11.520] And then when times get tough, [13:11.520 -> 13:13.460] they really kick you when you're down. [13:13.460 -> 13:16.020] It was like, oh, okay, I didn't expect that. [13:16.020 -> 13:17.840] And they twist every single word. [13:17.840 -> 13:20.240] And there's only a few people like that in the sport, [13:20.240 -> 13:23.000] but it stops you from trusting anyone. [13:23.000 -> 13:24.240] And I went through a period of not wanting [13:24.240 -> 13:28.100] to do any interviews and just saying the minimum I could, [13:28.100 -> 13:29.640] no emotion in it. [13:29.640 -> 13:33.180] And I really struggled to trust people from that point on. [13:33.180 -> 13:35.060] Until I started sort of being competitive [13:35.060 -> 13:36.600] and winning races, then I could be like, [13:36.600 -> 13:38.660] hang on, you were that guy that said that. [13:38.660 -> 13:39.500] I'll do that. [13:39.500 -> 13:41.060] I'm the comedian, I'm winning now. [13:41.060 -> 13:41.900] Yeah, exactly. [13:41.900 -> 13:43.860] I even had someone in my championship year say to me, [13:43.860 -> 13:47.200] because we had a couple of bad races, they said, do you actually want to win this championship? [13:47.200 -> 13:50.560] It's like, well, that's a pretty crap question, first of all. [13:50.560 -> 13:51.560] How did you get in here? [13:51.560 -> 13:54.320] But yeah, thanks for that vote of confidence. [13:54.320 -> 13:56.000] And it's just little things like that. [13:56.000 -> 14:01.640] But I think drivers are able to handle that a bit more now. [14:01.640 -> 14:02.760] And they kind of have to. [14:02.760 -> 14:06.320] With Drivers to Survive the first season, they're like, I don't want to be doing this. [14:06.320 -> 14:09.000] And then they see what recognition it gets [14:09.000 -> 14:11.400] and how big their profiles got from it. [14:11.400 -> 14:12.920] And they're like, oh, okay. [14:12.920 -> 14:14.800] You guys can come to my house. [14:14.800 -> 14:16.200] Danny Riggs is like, come and hang out with me [14:16.200 -> 14:17.760] on my farm and my sheep. [14:17.760 -> 14:19.280] It's like, really? [14:19.280 -> 14:20.120] I know. [14:20.120 -> 14:21.080] But it's funny. [14:21.080 -> 14:21.920] It's funny. [14:21.920 -> 14:23.320] And then Max obviously is not into it at all, [14:23.320 -> 14:25.200] but it's really interesting to see [14:25.200 -> 14:26.740] the different drivers' personalities [14:26.740 -> 14:28.320] and also how they look at it. [14:28.320 -> 14:30.840] Whether they look at it as just want to have a profile [14:30.840 -> 14:32.640] or some of them I'm sure look at it [14:32.640 -> 14:35.360] as possible business opportunities, [14:36.240 -> 14:39.160] bigger profile, bigger social media following, [14:39.160 -> 14:41.160] means more cash, doesn't it, really, in the bank. [14:41.160 -> 14:43.800] So it's interesting to see how the different drivers [14:43.800 -> 14:46.500] are on camera and how they're working with it. [14:47.360 -> 14:48.240] Absolutely, that's cool. [14:48.240 -> 14:50.620] Yeah, I think just from a viewer's perspective, [14:50.620 -> 14:53.020] it's nice to know their personality [14:53.020 -> 14:55.480] because then they're not just like, [14:55.480 -> 14:57.460] I was related back to music because I do music [14:57.460 -> 15:01.040] and like back in the day before you had like social media, [15:01.040 -> 15:02.680] you saw them on stage when they were playing [15:02.680 -> 15:03.520] and then that was it. [15:03.520 -> 15:04.940] So they were like this God-like figure. [15:04.940 -> 15:07.820] Same with racing drivers. I think if you grew up loving f1 [15:07.880 -> 15:13.480] They were like these untouchable guys who like you knew nothing about but now it's kind of opened it up [15:13.480 -> 15:17.440] So they're like a relatable person in a way. So I think it's good. It's good for the sport [15:17.440 -> 15:19.920] Yeah, I think it's different. It's difficult to get new fans in [15:19.920 -> 15:24.480] I think if you if you're if your family were into f1 you'd watch it and you'd get into it [15:24.480 -> 15:29.160] And as I said, are these superheroes driving racing cars. [15:29.160 -> 15:30.440] But it was very difficult for new people [15:30.440 -> 15:32.240] to understand the sport and to get into it [15:32.240 -> 15:34.600] because they didn't really show their personalities [15:34.600 -> 15:35.960] or weren't able to. [15:35.960 -> 15:38.440] But with Drivers Survive, [15:38.440 -> 15:41.160] you definitely see the behind the scenes. [15:41.160 -> 15:43.160] And some purists will say, [15:43.160 -> 15:44.760] well, there's certain bits that aren't real [15:44.760 -> 15:46.280] and the tire squeal's different, [15:46.280 -> 15:48.120] and commentary's not what it actually is [15:48.120 -> 15:49.240] on the race weekend. [15:49.240 -> 15:51.080] And it's not, but it's entertainment, [15:51.080 -> 15:53.520] and it's been so good for the sport. [15:53.520 -> 15:55.640] All round, it's been great for the sport. [15:55.640 -> 15:58.320] I think it's perfectly hit the audience of people [15:58.320 -> 16:01.280] that wanted to see something like that side of it. [16:01.280 -> 16:03.880] Like there's people who like certain things from the race, [16:03.880 -> 16:08.000] like certain clips, highlights, whatever. But Drive Survive just gives you everything in one go [16:08.000 -> 16:09.000] that you want. [16:09.000 -> 16:14.480] Well you can pick your driver, right? You can pick who you like and their personality [16:14.480 -> 16:19.240] and you just hope they're as good on the track as they are in their interviews and their [16:19.240 -> 16:23.440] personality. But yeah, I think that was the issue before, is choosing a driver was very [16:23.440 -> 16:25.060] difficult. It's like, well, it's the quickest car, [16:25.060 -> 16:26.000] I want that guy to win, [16:26.000 -> 16:27.680] because he's in the quickest car, he's going to win. [16:27.680 -> 16:28.920] I've won, whee! [16:28.920 -> 16:33.200] But with the way it is now, you have true personalities [16:33.200 -> 16:35.240] and you get behind that person. [16:35.240 -> 16:37.820] You know, there has to be a balance still. [16:37.820 -> 16:39.040] You know, I love the action, [16:39.040 -> 16:43.920] I love that there's drivers fighting off track and all that, [16:43.920 -> 16:45.840] but you still need the racing to be good [16:45.840 -> 16:48.000] and you can't change that. [16:48.000 -> 16:51.120] You know, we need to make sure that we're going [16:51.120 -> 16:53.520] to race circuits that are fun for the drivers, [16:53.520 -> 16:55.800] that they get out of the car, they're excited, [16:55.800 -> 16:58.520] but also tracks that are good for overtaking. [16:58.520 -> 17:00.520] I think it's important for us to have a real balance [17:00.520 -> 17:02.920] of these city races that we're putting more and more [17:02.920 -> 17:07.280] into the calendar and the old school tracks, which the drivers love so there's no point having [17:07.280 -> 17:10.720] great off-track action and not having on-track action so there has to be a [17:10.720 -> 17:15.120] good balance. If you had the choice to have a season of like what Drivers [17:15.120 -> 17:18.920] Survive is for your championship winning year would you want them to have filmed [17:18.920 -> 17:23.320] it? If you could have had that like kind of coverage back then and they would [17:23.320 -> 17:26.360] have just filmed everything going on, caught every conversation, [17:26.360 -> 17:27.960] would you want them to have done it? [17:27.960 -> 17:29.860] There are two ways of looking at it. [17:29.860 -> 17:32.440] For me, I would love to have had something [17:32.440 -> 17:35.760] that I could look back at and look at the emotions [17:35.760 -> 17:37.360] that I went through and how tough it was [17:37.360 -> 17:38.400] and how great it was. [17:39.800 -> 17:42.040] I would love to have that to show my kids. [17:42.040 -> 17:43.320] Yeah. [17:43.320 -> 17:46.080] But would I have wanted a camera over my shoulder [17:46.080 -> 17:46.920] the whole time? [17:46.920 -> 17:49.760] You know, I think I struggled through that season [17:49.760 -> 17:53.800] at certain points mentally, when times got tough [17:53.800 -> 17:55.920] and I needed the backing of the people around me, [17:55.920 -> 17:56.900] which really helped. [17:57.800 -> 17:59.960] But, you know, I wouldn't have wanted a camera [17:59.960 -> 18:00.800] over my shoulder the whole time. [18:00.800 -> 18:03.160] You know, when I'm in the paddock now, I even, [18:03.160 -> 18:04.440] because I'm not always there, [18:04.440 -> 18:09.800] I forget the driveive to survivor there yeah so you just got to [18:09.800 -> 18:12.560] be a little bit careful you know you don't be swearing all the time because [18:12.560 -> 18:17.040] you look up and it's like oh there's a boom mic above my head and you know the team [18:17.040 -> 18:20.760] watch what you say yeah the teams and the drivers they get to take bits out I [18:20.760 -> 18:27.600] think if they're a little bit aggressive whereas Whereas we don't, TV don't, so if we say something, [18:27.600 -> 18:31.440] it's in there. So you just gotta be a little bit careful. Even if George Russell [18:31.440 -> 18:34.640] comes over and says hello, walking out or something, shaking hands [18:34.640 -> 18:36.880] with the driver, you just gotta be a little bit careful because you pretty [18:36.880 -> 18:41.600] much know everything you say within the paddock or pit lane is being [18:41.600 -> 18:45.640] recorded. So now I'm kind of happy that that wasn't there, [18:45.640 -> 18:47.280] my championship winning. [18:47.280 -> 18:48.800] It's really interesting to me what you just said [18:48.800 -> 18:51.920] about you struggling a bit of mental health [18:51.920 -> 18:53.480] during that time. [18:53.480 -> 18:55.400] Cause I feel like there is a lot of that [18:55.400 -> 18:56.900] that goes on in the sport. [18:56.900 -> 18:58.400] So I'd love to hear it from your point of view. [18:58.400 -> 19:00.360] I mean, just as an example, [19:00.360 -> 19:02.840] I think Daniel Ricciardo could be suffering [19:02.840 -> 19:04.320] a bit of a mental game at the minute [19:04.320 -> 19:06.580] in terms of his performance or what's going on [19:06.580 -> 19:11.160] Or whatever. I think it must be really hard really stressful. What are your views on that? Totally agree and [19:11.920 -> 19:17.320] You never want to show it on camera. You know, Daniel's the most smiley person in the big one says that [19:17.320 -> 19:19.320] Yeah, he's even better off camera. Yeah [19:20.280 -> 19:27.920] I mean, what's he like when he's in his room on his own? I don't know. I don't know what he's like. I mean, he's a good friend, but I still don't know what [19:27.920 -> 19:33.120] he's like when he's sat on his own. Is he truly happy with the way things are going? [19:33.120 -> 19:39.600] I'm sure he's not. But I definitely went through a difficult time and I think as racing drivers [19:39.600 -> 19:45.800] we're too afraid to ask for help because you think of it as a weakness, you don't want other [19:45.800 -> 19:50.680] drivers seeing your weaknesses, that's the whole point with F1, especially [19:50.680 -> 19:56.240] with teammates. So I never really asked for help as early as I should have done. [19:56.240 -> 20:00.760] My physio, who was one of my best buddies, a guy called Mikey Muscles, wasn't his [20:00.760 -> 20:05.520] real name. He used to massage- Quite a small guy, was he? Exactly, yeah. [20:05.520 -> 20:09.760] He used to massage me before the race [20:09.760 -> 20:11.120] and then we'd do reaction work. [20:11.120 -> 20:14.240] And he basically, he was my girlfriend. [20:14.240 -> 20:16.440] At the time, he was with me the whole time. [20:16.440 -> 20:17.960] I spent more time with him [20:17.960 -> 20:19.760] than I did my partner at the time. [20:19.760 -> 20:20.920] You know, I'd go everywhere with him. [20:20.920 -> 20:22.720] If you switched teams, did he come with you? [20:22.720 -> 20:23.960] Yeah, yeah, always travel with me. [20:23.960 -> 20:25.880] Oh, wow, because you switched teams quite a lot. [20:25.880 -> 20:26.720] I did. [20:26.720 -> 20:28.360] That's the interesting dynamic of switching teams. [20:28.360 -> 20:30.320] Do you take the, because it's hard already. [20:30.320 -> 20:33.360] You've got to enter into a new group of people, you know. [20:33.360 -> 20:35.080] It's taking like a physio and taking people [20:35.080 -> 20:36.560] that are close to you so important. [20:36.560 -> 20:38.320] Because he knows you so well. [20:38.320 -> 20:40.520] And he could tell when I wasn't in a good place. [20:40.520 -> 20:42.720] And you know, he'd give me a massage and he'd go, [20:42.720 -> 20:49.320] JV, talk to me, you know, just let let it all out and he wouldn't have to say much but it was it was [20:49.320 -> 20:53.740] awesome just at that moment to get my feelings out and to understand there was [20:53.740 -> 20:57.920] someone there to you know listen to me I didn't want to speak to other people [20:57.920 -> 21:00.240] because as I said it felt like a weakness but he was always there for me [21:00.240 -> 21:04.180] which which meant a lot so yeah I think everyone needs that Orlando Norris has [21:04.180 -> 21:05.520] mentioned it before. [21:05.520 -> 21:07.280] Last year he mentioned that he had some [21:07.280 -> 21:09.800] mental health issues and was afraid to talk out, [21:09.800 -> 21:11.880] speak out, but he did, which is great. [21:11.880 -> 21:15.580] I think that immediately gives you strength, speaking out. [21:15.580 -> 21:18.320] So it's really important, and I think most sportsmen [21:18.320 -> 21:20.880] have someone there to help them mentally [21:20.880 -> 21:21.960] through what they're going through, [21:21.960 -> 21:23.800] because it's such high pressure. [21:23.800 -> 21:25.920] I don't need someone that's been a racing driver to help me [21:25.920 -> 21:30.000] through it because I know what I'm doing in that area. It's the mental side of it [21:30.000 -> 21:34.640] that I definitely needed help and I felt so much better as soon as I got [21:34.640 -> 21:38.840] that. I think anyone that's at the top of their game fighting for [21:38.840 -> 21:42.680] wins, there's a lot of pressure there so you do need help from people and [21:42.680 -> 21:44.000] shouldn't be afraid to ask. [21:44.000 -> 21:47.160] Yeah there's a lot of pressure on, well, Hamilton right now. Mae'n bwysig iawn i bobl, ac nid ydym yn bwysig i gofyn. Mae'n bwysig iawn ar Hamilton ar hyn o bryd. [21:47.160 -> 21:51.320] Rydyn ni'n dechrau gweld ystod y seswn, ac roedd ein cyntaf o Brasil. [21:51.320 -> 21:54.080] Rydyn ni wedi gweld y Hamilton Masterclass, ac roeddwn i'n meddwl, [21:54.080 -> 21:55.920] oh my god, mae'r têm hwn yn ddifrifol. [21:55.920 -> 21:57.760] Roeddwn i'n meddwl, chi'n meddwl, dyma'r têm hwn? [21:57.760 -> 21:59.560] Yn wir, rydyn ni'n debyg iawn. [21:59.560 -> 22:02.160] Ond rydyn ni'n mynd i Silverstone ar y diwrnod hwn. [22:02.160 -> 22:03.840] O'ch mhobliniad, [22:03.840 -> 22:05.240] ydych chi'n meddwl y gallai y seswn hwn ddimio Hamilton? But we're going into Silverstone this weekend. From your opinion, do you think this season [22:05.240 -> 22:07.520] could turn around for Hamilton? [22:07.520 -> 22:09.440] Because we don't know much, but we know Mercedes [22:09.440 -> 22:11.840] are very good at getting a good car out. [22:11.840 -> 22:13.160] Yes, they are. [22:13.160 -> 22:15.480] They're very good at adapting to a situation. [22:15.480 -> 22:17.760] And obviously, they're in a bit of a hole. [22:17.760 -> 22:20.240] You know, they've still got the third best car on the grid. [22:20.240 -> 22:22.400] Everyone says it's a disaster, but they're still [22:22.400 -> 22:23.280] the third best car. [22:23.280 -> 22:23.800] Yeah, yeah. [22:23.800 -> 22:28.380] We can't forget there's sort of 12, 14 guys that would love to be in that car right now. [22:28.380 -> 22:33.980] But for Mercedes, yeah, it's not been a good year compared to the last 7, 8 years. [22:33.980 -> 22:40.680] So, the problem is with the regulation change, it's not an easy fix for them [22:40.680 -> 22:42.380] because you've got this poor up-sync with the car. [22:42.380 -> 22:44.780] Because the lower you go with the car, the more downforce you get [22:44.780 -> 22:45.720] because it's the way the cars [22:45.720 -> 22:49.080] are designed so there's ground effects [22:49.080 -> 22:51.520] the reason for ground effects is because [22:51.520 -> 22:53.480] it doesn't affect the dirt it doesn't [22:53.480 -> 22:54.640] affect the car behind you so it means [22:54.640 -> 22:56.600] the cars can run closer okay so the [22:56.600 -> 22:58.400] special thing car runs really close to [22:58.400 -> 23:00.480] the ground and that that creates down [23:00.480 -> 23:02.280] force from underneath the car not from [23:02.280 -> 23:04.040] the wings on the car so it means that [23:04.040 -> 23:05.600] the car behind can run closer and you can have better racing if it's all down to the car, not from the wings on the car. So it means that the car behind can run closer [23:05.600 -> 23:06.920] and you can have better racing. [23:06.920 -> 23:08.880] If it's all down to the wings [23:08.880 -> 23:10.640] to give you the downforce for the car, [23:10.640 -> 23:12.240] it produces a lot of dirty air [23:12.240 -> 23:14.600] and the car behind can't get close to the car in front. [23:14.600 -> 23:15.640] Was that happening last year? [23:15.640 -> 23:17.040] Is that why they were having a bit of an issue last year? [23:17.040 -> 23:19.400] That's always been the issue in F1 [23:19.400 -> 23:21.960] because you have such big wings on the cars. [23:21.960 -> 23:25.880] So, great idea and some of the teams have got it to work, [23:25.880 -> 23:27.520] but the problem is for Mercedes, they get it low [23:27.520 -> 23:29.240] and it starts giving it the palpasing [23:29.240 -> 23:30.880] and it's hurting the driver's backs. [23:30.880 -> 23:33.800] And it's also an inconsistent downforce then. [23:33.800 -> 23:36.560] Silverstone is fast corners, [23:36.560 -> 23:39.560] Mercedes is good in fast corners, and it's very smooth. [23:39.560 -> 23:41.440] We've noticed this because we've been absolutely rinsing it [23:41.440 -> 23:42.280] on the F1 game. [23:42.280 -> 23:43.100] Have you? [23:43.100 -> 23:43.940] Yeah, exactly. [23:43.940 -> 23:44.780] He's the last competitor. [23:44.780 -> 23:48.320] Bradsmith is about to take over. Have you? Yeah, exactly. [23:48.320 -> 23:52.840] So I think the Mercedes will be competitive. I really hope it's a six-way fight for the [23:52.840 -> 23:56.600] win. I think it can be, I think it really can be and you know it won't be a consistent [23:56.600 -> 24:01.920] season for Mercedes because the rougher circuits will be difficult but some circuits will really [24:01.920 -> 24:05.400] play into their hands. Well that's what I've heard recently about Red Bull. [24:05.400 -> 24:08.760] Kind of their car is attuned more to like street circuits. [24:08.760 -> 24:10.480] And we've had a few of those at the start of this year. [24:10.480 -> 24:12.920] So maybe we now we're going to start to see [24:12.920 -> 24:15.280] Mercedes come back and I don't know, [24:15.280 -> 24:17.240] hopefully Ferrari, cause I'm a Ferrari fan. [24:17.240 -> 24:18.680] Yeah, it's a shame for Ferrari. [24:18.680 -> 24:19.920] They had such a good car at the start of the year. [24:19.920 -> 24:23.440] They still do have, but reliability has got them down. [24:23.440 -> 24:25.400] So, you know know I think all teams [24:25.400 -> 24:28.440] will take an extra engine this year and they'll get penalized which is normally [24:28.440 -> 24:33.380] ten places or 20 if they're changing everything so every team's gonna have [24:33.380 -> 24:35.880] that it's just for I've had it really early in the season. [24:35.880 -> 24:39.200] Leclerc just changed his I believe the knee for the last race? Yeah so he [24:39.200 -> 24:43.440] started last finished fifth I think so yeah that just shows you the difference [24:43.440 -> 24:46.080] in performance of the quick cars and the mid pack cars [24:46.360 -> 24:49.040] The same as Lewis last year, you know he's an exceptional talent [24:49.040 -> 24:55.640] But if you come from last to first there's a reason for it. You've got a really good car. It's a it's a team package, so [24:56.400 -> 25:00.320] No, I think I think it'd be a really really good race this weekend [25:00.320 -> 25:04.700] I'm excited for the fight and and also to be there to to be involved in it a bit [25:04.700 -> 25:06.780] Who are you backing this year? [25:06.780 -> 25:09.320] For the championship, I mean, you'd have to say Red Bull [25:09.320 -> 25:12.480] and Max, because they've been the most consistent. [25:12.480 -> 25:14.560] I mean, they've still had their issues, reliability issues. [25:14.560 -> 25:16.440] And I think, as I said, they'll probably take an engine [25:16.440 -> 25:19.880] during this year, they'll get a 20 place grid penalty. [25:19.880 -> 25:24.200] But Ferrari, for me, the bigger issue was [25:24.200 -> 25:27.000] it's when they make the wrong call on strategy. [25:27.000 -> 25:28.120] Like Monaco. [25:28.120 -> 25:29.440] Absolutely broke my heart. [25:29.440 -> 25:30.680] He had it in the bag. [25:31.520 -> 25:34.120] Was that an error from what we saw? [25:34.120 -> 25:35.240] It looked like they'd called him in [25:35.240 -> 25:37.400] but then didn't mean to call him in. [25:37.400 -> 25:39.800] Well, the problem is in that situation, [25:41.240 -> 25:42.560] there's no point doing something in the middle. [25:42.560 -> 25:45.360] You have to either be changing tires early on [25:45.360 -> 25:47.840] or not changing tires and go straight to slick tires [25:47.840 -> 25:50.360] because they went from wets to winters to slick. [25:50.360 -> 25:52.960] So you've either got to jump early [25:52.960 -> 25:55.720] when the driver knows it's dry enough for dries [25:55.720 -> 25:57.520] or dry enough for winters, [25:57.520 -> 25:59.160] but you can't hang around for too long [25:59.160 -> 26:00.880] because if someone jumps onto another tire [26:00.880 -> 26:03.640] and it's five seconds a lot quicker, they've got you. [26:03.640 -> 26:07.820] And that's what happens. So it's like they didn't think on their [26:07.820 -> 26:11.760] feet enough they were like oh we're leading we don't know we don't want to [26:11.760 -> 26:14.640] lose the win. We haven't been here in a while, what's going on? [26:14.640 -> 26:18.360] So yeah it wasn't wasn't an easy, to be fair to them it is a high pressure [26:18.360 -> 26:21.760] situation but yeah those are the sort of things that don't want to happen again [26:21.760 -> 26:24.280] because that's what's gonna cost them the big points. Yeah you've got to feel sorry for [26:24.280 -> 26:26.160] Leclerc, he's put in some amazing poles [26:26.160 -> 26:30.160] and he's an amazing driver, it's just not gone his way towards the end. [26:30.160 -> 26:34.560] Yeah he's very level-headed and I think he's only made one mistake this year and [26:34.560 -> 26:38.400] that was in Imola when he hit the wall in the [26:38.400 -> 26:42.240] chicane. Oh yeah we were there for that, that was our first Grand Prix. [26:42.240 -> 26:45.800] How was it? Yeah and it was amazing to us kind of how [26:45.800 -> 26:47.080] you feel a bit out of the loop. [26:47.080 -> 26:48.600] Like when you watch it at home on TV, [26:48.600 -> 26:49.440] you can see everything. [26:49.440 -> 26:51.120] Yeah, it's not as difficult in the track. [26:51.120 -> 26:52.240] And we're like, what is going on? [26:52.240 -> 26:53.400] There's been a crash, like who was it? [26:53.400 -> 26:56.200] It's a Ferrari, which Ferrari driver was it? [26:56.200 -> 26:57.040] Yeah. [26:57.040 -> 26:59.360] They need to bring something where you've got headphones [26:59.360 -> 27:01.160] and you can hear the commentary. [27:01.160 -> 27:02.000] Yeah. [27:02.000 -> 27:03.400] Because yeah, I agree, when you're at the track, [27:03.400 -> 27:06.160] it's amazing atmosphere. but most of the time, [27:06.160 -> 27:07.920] it's like, oh, after lap 10, [27:07.920 -> 27:09.440] it's like I have no idea what's going on. [27:09.440 -> 27:10.260] Do you have something? [27:10.260 -> 27:11.200] Do you have an earpiece which tells you [27:11.200 -> 27:12.600] what's going on or anything? [27:12.600 -> 27:16.440] Well, I'm normally, if I'm not commentating in the race, [27:16.440 -> 27:17.880] which I have done a few times, [27:17.880 -> 27:19.760] and you have all the screens, timing screens, [27:19.760 -> 27:21.000] race screens, everything. [27:22.260 -> 27:24.040] If I'm not there, I'm watching on TV anyway, [27:24.040 -> 27:27.860] but I have an earpiece in so I can hear the commentary from the sports. Commentating must be one of the [27:27.860 -> 27:31.700] hardest things to do. How do you watch that and then say it so quick? [27:31.700 -> 27:35.700] It's so much adrenaline. Crofty is a mastermind. I've been watching it trying to take in a thousand things at once. [27:35.700 -> 27:41.920] Yeah so I've commented on three races now I think. Loved it and Holland was a good race to [27:41.920 -> 27:49.520] commentate on. I commented on Saudi Arabia this year which is a really good race. I love it. It's so action-packed and [27:49.520 -> 27:53.520] the adrenaline is so high because you're the closest to the action really. [27:53.520 -> 27:56.200] You feel that you are because you're you're talking about it and you're trying [27:56.200 -> 28:01.840] to tell the world what's going on. You're telling the story of the race for everyone. Exactly. They can see the race but you watch [28:01.840 -> 28:07.240] your race and on its own it's great and all but when you have the commentary of people that are supposed to know what [28:07.240 -> 28:12.300] they're talking about it definitely adds to it and it makes it that extra bit special. [28:12.300 -> 28:14.760] Definitely, that's what helps them remember it, I completely agree. [28:14.760 -> 28:18.720] We know you've got a very busy week because it's Silverstone so thank you [28:18.720 -> 28:21.120] very much for chatting to us, we don't want to keep you too long. [28:21.120 -> 28:26.020] I did have one last question. Do you ever get the urge to just want to jump in those [28:26.020 -> 28:27.060] in one of those cars now? [28:27.060 -> 28:28.460] Always, always, always. [28:28.460 -> 28:29.940] But I'll definitely embarrass myself [28:29.940 -> 28:32.220] with my head falling off after about three laps. [28:32.220 -> 28:33.060] Because of the neck. [28:33.060 -> 28:35.560] Yeah, but no, I mean, [28:35.560 -> 28:37.740] I wouldn't want to be racing in F1 again. [28:37.740 -> 28:39.820] I mean, 23 races is just nuts. [28:39.820 -> 28:41.800] It is and I've got two kids now. [28:42.700 -> 28:46.880] So it's not feasible for me but I would love to [28:46.880 -> 28:49.800] drive a Fonlawanka, I miss driving a Fonlawanka yeah I've driven a lot of things [28:49.800 -> 28:53.240] Would you not get a chance like on a test track or any just a zip one round for a [28:53.240 -> 28:56.080] little bit or? There's always it's always a possibility I think they wanted to do [28:56.080 -> 29:02.240] something at the start this year with a few of the Sky guys driving the current [29:02.240 -> 29:06.220] F1 cars which would have been nuts especially if someone put it in the wall. [29:06.220 -> 29:07.220] Oh my god! [29:07.220 -> 29:08.220] Yeah, it would be genius. [29:08.220 -> 29:13.060] Yeah, I mean there's quite a few drivers that have done pretty well in Formula 1 that work [29:13.060 -> 29:14.060] for Sky Sports F1. [29:14.060 -> 29:15.060] Yeah. [29:15.060 -> 29:17.060] I mean, Damon Hill, he won a world championship. [29:17.060 -> 29:18.060] We met Damon. [29:18.060 -> 29:22.180] Yeah, Martin didn't win a race but he was always there or thereabouts. [29:22.180 -> 29:25.960] Paul de Rista, Anthony Davis and Karun Chand Chandok, so there's a load of them. [29:25.960 -> 29:28.880] So yeah, it would be really fun to watch actually. [29:28.880 -> 29:30.880] Stick us all in current car, it'd be nuts. [29:30.880 -> 29:32.960] I feel like I know who would really win. [29:32.960 -> 29:33.960] Really expensive. [29:33.960 -> 29:34.960] Probably be you. [29:34.960 -> 29:35.960] Shhh. [29:35.960 -> 29:38.960] It depends which car they give me. [29:38.960 -> 29:39.960] A Haas. [29:39.960 -> 29:42.960] They're quick mate at the moment. [29:42.960 -> 29:44.760] Yeah they are. [29:44.760 -> 29:45.000] Thanks so much for joining us man, it's been a pleasure. Excellent, at the moment. Yeah they are. [29:45.000 -> 29:47.000] Thanks so much for joining us man, it's been a pleasure. [29:47.000 -> 29:48.880] Excellent, enjoy the weekend guys.

We're gonna need [30:33.040 -> 30:34.320] Team principals, but we're gonna need everyone. We're gonna need everyone. Okay? [30:39.560 -> 30:40.480] Until we get Lewis Hamlin. No, we need Lewis Hamlin. Imagine that one day. We're just like a special guest is [30:49.520 -> 30:54.160] Switches around it'll be like a three-hour podcast as well. I just want to talk to him forever forever. Man, I wish we had longer with Jensen. I know, but what a great guy he was. Yeah, top guy. I wasn't sure what to expect going into it, but no, it turns out he's just a great human being. [30:54.160 -> 30:59.200] So yeah, thanks. Thanks to Jensen for coming on the pod. Yeah, we put some clips on TikTok [30:59.200 -> 31:03.280] and they've absolutely exploded. It seems that people love Jensen Batten, which is just the [31:03.280 -> 31:06.980] most amazing thing ever because we've done all this content and I was really happy [31:06.980 -> 31:10.180] with the way the podcast went because I thought we asked different questions and [31:10.180 -> 31:14.340] had a great like chat going. I definitely want to speak to Jensen again so Jensen [31:14.340 -> 31:18.020] if you're listening we would love to sit down with you and talk about all the [31:18.020 -> 31:22.740] parties that you've had over the years. All the details. We could plan some amazing [31:22.740 -> 31:25.200] videos too. Yeah we could do some crazy stuff for sure. [31:25.200 -> 31:26.200] There's a lot of stuff. [31:26.200 -> 31:28.760] But yeah, woah, Jake, we got Silverstone this weekend. [31:28.760 -> 31:30.680] Silverstone and we have a little bit of news. [31:30.680 -> 31:32.680] We do have some news.

[32:31.180 -> 32:32.020] It'll be mega. [32:32.020 -> 32:35.100] I feel like we always get entrusted with these roles. [32:35.100 -> 32:36.660] Don't know why people do it.
