[02:40.880 -> 02:41.760] It looks legit! [02:41.760 -> 02:43.680] To be fair, we are working with Sky Sports now. [02:43.680 -> 02:45.040] What have you got on your Bumble profile? I haven't got a Bumble profile yet. Haven't you? Haven't you? Yeah, we are working with Sky Sports now. What have you got on your Bumble profile?

Can't wait to clip this. And we've got Sky Sports mugs. [02:54.280 -> 02:58.580] Yeah, so basically you're not even lying to people anymore because you are presenting something for Sky Sports. [02:58.580 -> 03:03.380] Well, did we or did we not sign a contract a couple of weeks ago? Yeah, with Sky Sports for that campaign. For one job. [03:03.380 -> 03:07.000] But I'm not giving a shit. I've fucking taken that to the nth degree. [03:07.000 -> 03:13.000] Yeah I just thought I'd tell you that's why we're filming a little bit later but yeah the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Fabio [03:13.000 -> 03:20.000] Fabio Brundle you can call him. I have made loads of notes today. Jake's notebook is back once again. [03:20.000 -> 03:27.120] Jake's notebook? I like that. I've made loads, you've got a few as well. I've got loads, yeah, we probably crossed the load over. [03:27.120 -> 03:29.080] Straight away I'll say, did you enjoy the race? [03:29.080 -> 03:32.520] Because it's been bigged up as being everyone's favourite race, a lot of people love Baku, [03:32.520 -> 03:33.520] what did you think about it? [03:33.520 -> 03:37.800] I enjoyed it because I felt like there was people at the front which I wasn't really [03:37.800 -> 03:38.800] expecting. [03:38.800 -> 03:39.800] Gasly, wowza. [03:39.800 -> 03:44.200] I mean he qualified well anyway. [03:44.200 -> 03:45.560] But I guess with the Ferraris being out [03:45.560 -> 03:48.640] He was further up the grid than he would have been but still I was impressed by him [03:48.640 -> 03:52.960] I was impressed by Lewis Hamilton's overtake. Yeah, Lewis Hamilton had an amazing race [03:52.960 -> 03:56.760] Well, he run he won driver of the day, didn't he? He had he had an amazing race [03:56.760 -> 04:00.220] But I think it was a shit race for him. Yeah, Porpoise man. Oh, yeah [04:00.220 -> 04:03.240] So I don't know if you saw but the end of qualifying yesterday [04:03.280 -> 04:06.240] There's a clip of Daniel Ricciardo going over in the media area [04:06.720 -> 04:12.080] Watching the clip of Lewis Hamilton Pauperson and Daniel Ricciardo is like core my car bounces and it's bad [04:12.080 -> 04:14.080] It's never going to get lot of dead, eh? [04:14.080 -> 04:16.080] Yeah, he's like I can't even imagine what would be like [04:16.080 -> 04:18.080] Probably going to end up in 8th [04:18.080 -> 04:20.080] That wasn't even Australian [04:20.080 -> 04:22.080] He's like I don't even know how he drives in that [04:22.080 -> 04:22.580] Yeah [04:22.580 -> 04:26.580] And Hamilton was complaining yesterday and you saw it on that Mercedes today. [04:26.580 -> 04:27.420] Saw it, yeah. [04:27.420 -> 04:28.500] He looked in agony. [04:28.500 -> 04:31.340] His head was bopping around like the Churchill dog. [04:31.340 -> 04:32.180] But he still managed. [04:32.180 -> 04:33.500] Did you see him get out the car? [04:33.500 -> 04:34.340] Yeah. [04:34.340 -> 04:36.700] He looked like an old man, his back was fucked, mate. [04:36.700 -> 04:39.340] Do you wanna know why no one would touch him? [04:39.340 -> 04:40.980] Or do you know why no one would touch him? [04:40.980 -> 04:41.820] What are you talking about? [04:41.820 -> 04:43.320] Why no one helped him out the car? [04:43.320 -> 04:44.400] Did you notice that? [04:44.400 -> 04:45.000] Oh yeah, it's rules. Yeah, part of the rules. You're not allowed to touch other drivers. No What are you talking about? Why no one helped him out of the car. Did you notice that? Oh yeah, it's rules. [04:45.000 -> 04:46.000] Yeah, park fairly rules. [04:46.000 -> 04:47.000] It's rules. [04:47.000 -> 04:48.000] You're not allowed to touch other drivers. [04:48.000 -> 04:49.000] No, do you know why? [04:49.000 -> 04:50.000] It's just against the rules. [04:50.000 -> 04:51.000] I don't know if that makes sense. [04:51.000 -> 04:53.800] It's against the rules until they've been weighed. [04:53.800 -> 04:58.240] You're not allowed to touch a driver or the cars until they've been weighed and they have [04:58.240 -> 05:01.480] to make sure that they're ever still within the regulation and stuff like that. [05:01.480 -> 05:03.640] Imagine if that was the same with like dating a girl. [05:03.640 -> 05:04.640] What? [05:04.640 -> 05:07.840] You're not allowed to touch him until you've weighed him. [05:07.840 -> 05:09.120] Why would you want to weigh him? [05:09.120 -> 05:10.660] Just to check they're full of enough love. [05:10.660 -> 05:11.500] Yeah. [05:11.500 -> 05:12.960] Yeah, love levels in it. [05:14.160 -> 05:15.680] God, you chat some shit. [05:15.680 -> 05:17.280] Yeah, Lewis Hamilton was in pain. [05:17.280 -> 05:21.440] And to finish fourth after starting one, two, three, four, [05:21.440 -> 05:24.640] five, six, seven, eight, it's pretty impressive. [05:24.640 -> 05:26.080] Great race for Russell again. [05:26.080 -> 05:26.920] Podium. [05:26.920 -> 05:28.160] His second podium of the season. [05:28.160 -> 05:30.440] The third podium of the season for Mercedes. [05:30.440 -> 05:31.280] That's great. [05:31.280 -> 05:33.440] Top five every race so far. [05:33.440 -> 05:34.840] George Russell was on fire. [05:34.840 -> 05:37.040] He is currently flying up the championship. [05:37.040 -> 05:38.200] He's third, mate. [05:38.200 -> 05:39.040] Wow. [05:39.040 -> 05:39.880] Mate, he's third. [05:39.880 -> 05:40.840] Where's Leclerc now? [05:40.840 -> 05:43.080] Sorry, no, George Russell is fourth, sorry. [05:43.080 -> 05:45.760] Yeah, Verstappen's first with a hundred and fifty points Perez [05:45.760 -> 05:47.800] second surely Perez second, Leclerc third [05:47.800 -> 05:49.960] hundred and twenty nine Leclerc hundred and sixteen [05:49.960 -> 05:52.440] Russell ninety nine what was what's [05:52.440 -> 05:55.960] Verstappen got? 150 150 and Leclerc's got [05:55.960 -> 05:57.760] hundred and sixteen yeah Verstappen's 21 points [05:57.760 -> 06:01.520] clear of Perez and Verstappen is 34 [06:01.520 -> 06:04.120] points clear of Leclerc now so the gap is [06:04.120 -> 06:05.240] opening up, [06:05.240 -> 06:07.680] but like you saw it from a Ferrari fan's point of view, [06:07.680 -> 06:09.040] and you're a massive Ferrari fan, [06:09.040 -> 06:11.100] let's talk about the beginning of the race. [06:11.100 -> 06:14.560] Straight away, Perez, Perez, I love it. [06:14.560 -> 06:16.240] I'm gonna keep saying Perez now. [06:16.240 -> 06:19.240] Perez had the better start, got away 0.02 seconds quicker [06:19.240 -> 06:20.080] off the line. [06:20.080 -> 06:21.360] Oh, stats! [06:21.360 -> 06:25.760] Yeah, and he was straight away, Perez was out the front, he was like two and a half seconds, he had a good clearance on Leclerc. We thought he was gone, we thought he was straight away Perez was Perez was out the front he was [06:25.760 -> 06:30.540] like two and a half say he had a good clearance and he absolutely smashed it [06:30.540 -> 06:35.440] however you saw the Ferrari starting to claw back over over a few laps and yeah [06:35.440 -> 06:39.920] and the Claire was making that time up yeah he was it's just an absolute I just [06:39.920 -> 06:43.480] I don't know because we haven't checked the new I don't if the news is even out [06:43.480 -> 06:48.800] yet about what's been going on with these Ferrari cars. I think for signs it was a hydraulic problem. [06:48.800 -> 06:54.800] I don't know what the problem was for Leclerc, it looked like a power unit problem but again I'm not a mechanic and I don't really know what I'm looking for. [06:54.800 -> 06:59.000] Well we had five DNFs today and four out of five of them were Ferrari powered cars. [06:59.000 -> 07:03.800] Magnussen went, Joe went, Leclerc went, Sainz went and Stroll went. [07:03.800 -> 07:05.800] And a lot of them for similar issues. [07:05.800 -> 07:07.380] There's something serious happening here. [07:07.380 -> 07:09.240] There is something seriously wrong with that Ferrari. [07:09.240 -> 07:10.920] And I ain't liking it. [07:10.920 -> 07:12.120] It's not looking good. [07:12.120 -> 07:13.120] No. [07:13.120 -> 07:17.260] Because Red Bull made a significant amount of mistakes early on into the season, which [07:17.260 -> 07:21.920] cost them points, but you notice a lot of the time it happened to both drivers. [07:21.920 -> 07:27.380] There's definitely something wrong with that Ferrari and they're going to get lost behind Red Bull if Red Bull were doing that every week [07:27.380 -> 07:32.380] however we are only one third of the way through yeah the season yes anything [07:32.380 -> 07:35.080] could happen there's still time still time for a long time you can make up you [07:35.080 -> 07:39.840] can't don't even say don't even get me started on a long day good of Alonso [07:39.840 -> 07:43.720] did well today did he yeah he finished I can't remember but I just know that he [07:43.720 -> 07:48.000] would have probably done well he did he well. He did have an okay race I think. He finished in [07:48.000 -> 07:58.480] I think that's eighth. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seventh or eighth. I'm not sure. I made notes on my phone and I'm trying to read it down. [07:58.480 -> 08:05.460] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. The F1 app is only a finger touch away. Seventh. He came seventh. Great. That's not a bad race for Alonso. [08:05.460 -> 08:06.500] I agree with you though. [08:06.500 -> 08:08.740] He wasn't he at 215 mile an hour? [08:08.740 -> 08:09.820] Yeah. [08:09.820 -> 08:10.660] Yeah, flying. [08:10.660 -> 08:11.480] That's mental. [08:11.480 -> 08:12.820] The Alpines are fast in a straight line. [08:12.820 -> 08:15.060] How on earth does he get 215 mile an hour? [08:15.060 -> 08:16.620] I swear they max at like 209. [08:16.620 -> 08:17.660] Orange juice. [08:17.660 -> 08:19.940] Yeah, I heard about that, citrus. [08:19.940 -> 08:20.780] Yeah, where did you hear that from? [08:20.780 -> 08:21.620] Straight into the engine. [08:21.620 -> 08:24.180] You know, we've made all these friends now. [08:24.180 -> 08:25.480] Someone really high up in the F1 [08:25.480 -> 08:26.320] would call the facts. [08:26.320 -> 08:27.600] Yeah, that guy from the FIA. [08:27.600 -> 08:29.080] Yeah, what was his name again? [08:29.080 -> 08:30.400] I don't know, I think his name was Peter, [08:30.400 -> 08:32.560] but he was the same guy that ran to the pits [08:32.560 -> 08:35.040] when Sonoda got his duct tape on the back of his car. [08:35.040 -> 08:35.880] That was funny. [08:35.880 -> 08:38.400] That was funny, I actually cracked up. [08:38.400 -> 08:39.760] So yeah, they called him in and- [08:39.760 -> 08:43.520] Their fucking gaffer tape in Yuki's wing. [08:43.520 -> 08:44.360] I don't know how they got away with it [08:44.360 -> 08:46.180] because it was black and orange flagged, [08:46.180 -> 08:48.400] because it's unsafe to drive like that. [08:48.400 -> 08:50.040] So they were going to disqualify him. [08:50.040 -> 08:52.020] It was like DNF, you can't go. [08:52.020 -> 08:52.860] But do you think there's going to be [08:52.860 -> 08:53.840] an investigation afterwards? [08:53.840 -> 08:55.940] I'll be surprised if he doesn't get fined or something. [08:55.940 -> 08:57.340] There probably already has been something. [08:57.340 -> 08:59.180] Yeah, it didn't look quite right. [08:59.180 -> 09:00.420] And as he was doing it, [09:00.420 -> 09:01.980] that all the people putting on the duct tape [09:01.980 -> 09:03.300] were turning around as quick as they can. [09:03.300 -> 09:05.800] And they got Sonoda back out before the FIA guy came. [09:05.800 -> 09:10.320] But the FIA man was running down to the Alfa Tauri garage [09:10.320 -> 09:11.160] and telling him he can't go. [09:11.160 -> 09:13.120] And they got him back out. [09:13.120 -> 09:15.320] But the track temp today was 48 degrees. [09:15.320 -> 09:18.400] So you saw everyone doing different strategies, [09:18.400 -> 09:21.080] which was probably one of the most interesting things [09:21.080 -> 09:22.480] to watch in today's race. [09:22.480 -> 09:28.120] I mean, as you know, Daniel Ricciardo started on hards when a lot of other people start on mediums if you're [09:28.120 -> 09:30.880] not in the points a lot of the time you'll start on a different time. [09:30.880 -> 09:34.160] We should celebrate Daniel Ricardo today. Yeah we should. I feel like Danny had a good [09:34.160 -> 09:39.240] fucking race. He had a good race but it was a shame that he didn't quite get the [09:39.240 -> 09:42.560] advantage of another safety car or something because he dropped a load of [09:42.560 -> 09:45.580] places in the end when he had to pit. Yeah. [09:45.580 -> 09:47.980] Which was a shame but for a while he was looking pretty strong. [09:47.980 -> 09:52.360] The Norris-Ricardo thing is starting to look a little bit fishy. [09:52.360 -> 09:56.960] The whole drive to survive narrative seems to be like it may be playing out a little [09:56.960 -> 09:57.960] bit. [09:57.960 -> 09:59.180] It is starting to like come to life a little bit. [09:59.180 -> 10:02.460] So I made notes of what happened at the end of the race because you know Norris was going [10:02.460 -> 10:05.760] to overtake, Norris was going to overtake Ricciardo. [10:05.760 -> 10:07.040] Get rid of that. [10:07.040 -> 10:08.160] And, um... [10:08.160 -> 10:13.120] He didn't quite get there, because at the end he radioed in, and they said... [10:13.120 -> 10:16.080] What did they say? I've made a note of it somewhere. [10:16.080 -> 10:19.520] Lando Norris wanted the position back off Daniel Ricciardo, [10:19.520 -> 10:25.200] and Norris radioed in and said, is he going to give it back to me, because Norris had apparently given it earlier. But what actually happened is, Ricciardo said he was quicker, so they pitted Norris radioed in and said is he going to give it back to me because Norris had apparently given it earlier [10:25.200 -> 10:27.920] But what actually happened is Ricciardo said he was quicker [10:27.920 -> 10:31.520] So they pitted Norris so that Ricciardo could do an overcut [10:31.920 -> 10:38.080] And just stay out longer and try the hards and at the end Lando radioed in and said but this is for the finishing position [10:38.960 -> 10:40.320] and [10:40.320 -> 10:43.360] That was interesting because obviously Lando assumes he's the number one driver [10:43.600 -> 10:45.960] But then did you see what George Russell said after the race? [10:45.960 -> 10:50.480] Nope. He was chatting to Naomi and Natalie and everyone and [10:51.880 -> 10:57.600] They asked him how they pick the one and two drivers. Like who is one and two at Mercedes? How do they do it? [10:57.600 -> 11:01.980] And George Russell said that Mercedes flip a coin. Wow. At the beginning of every race [11:02.600 -> 11:06.960] Imagine if that was the same dynamic in like Red Bull's garage. You know what I love that [11:06.960 -> 11:09.440] I think that's the best way to do it. I love it [11:09.900 -> 11:11.920] That's fair play to like well [11:11.920 -> 11:14.520] I mean Hamilton can't really say a lot about at the moment because Russell's been better [11:14.520 -> 11:18.920] But do you think they were doing that last season with Hamilton and Bottas? No [11:18.920 -> 11:21.160] I feel like if one's on a title charge [11:21.160 -> 11:28.280] They can't do that you can't do that on a title charge or just any season before? No I don't know apparently they've done it for the last [11:28.280 -> 11:31.400] three years. They could have been doing it in Rosberg. Apparently they've done it for the [11:31.400 -> 11:34.520] last three years. I don't know if I believe that. Well maybe they have because [11:34.520 -> 11:38.240] Bottas did win races last year but Hamilton was just quicker that's [11:38.240 -> 11:42.160] like what happened today Perez wasn't told to let Verstappen through when he [11:42.160 -> 11:47.680] went past but Verstappen was just so much quicker that they had to radio Perez and be like no fighting he's [11:47.680 -> 11:51.360] so much quicker. If you are so much quicker then they do have to [11:51.360 -> 11:55.880] let you through like that is fair enough that makes sense. Look I think Ricciardo [11:55.880 -> 11:59.560] deserves to get that that position today I think Lando needs to suck it up I [11:59.560 -> 12:05.480] think if just for just for a boost of something boost of confidence a boost of [12:05.480 -> 12:07.400] mindset hopefully coming out of this [12:07.400 -> 12:10.160] race now Baku Ricciardo may be able to [12:10.160 -> 12:13.120] just reset refresh a little bit you can [12:13.120 -> 12:15.000] say look I've got eighth was eighth [12:15.000 -> 12:17.480] right I'm happy with that now we can [12:17.480 -> 12:19.080] move forward and I think if he'd have [12:19.080 -> 12:21.640] taken another hit to his armor then he [12:21.640 -> 12:23.920] could just continue to crumble mentally [12:23.920 -> 12:27.680] yeah I don't know I don't know if it's that deep, I feel like it is that deep. [12:27.680 -> 12:33.440] Well it was definitely better to get his position back, I think McLaren still wants so much more. [12:33.440 -> 12:38.560] I mean when both Ferraris are going out and you're still finishing like 8th and 9th, this is a McLaren car. [12:38.560 -> 12:41.920] If the Ferraris were in there that's still like 10th, 11th. [12:41.920 -> 12:51.600] But that's what's so exciting about this year is the fact that we're seeing such a mishmash I feel like of who's in the top 10. Like where [12:51.600 -> 12:55.680] did Vettel come today? Vettel did good today. Yeah, well yeah you said that. Do you have [12:55.680 -> 12:59.360] his standings there? You are starting to see, yeah so Vettel did, Vettel had a great race, [12:59.360 -> 13:03.600] Vettel came 7th I believe. Vettel came 7th, he went off into the runaway, no Vettel came [13:03.600 -> 13:06.240] 6th sorry. He went off into the runaway area or whatever you want to call it. [13:06.240 -> 13:08.240] Yeah, and you love the way he spanned around. [13:08.240 -> 13:11.640] And I thought it was the sickest thing because he was flying down and [13:12.160 -> 13:16.200] we saw it happen with K-Mag in qualifying I think or practice. [13:16.200 -> 13:19.760] He went off and he got his car stuck and he had to do like a 400 point turn [13:19.760 -> 13:24.920] to try and get out which by the way apparently is really hard to put a Formula One car into reverse gear. [13:24.960 -> 13:25.400] But when Vettel done it, he come flying down and he just drifted. to try and get out, which by the way, apparently it's really hard to put a Formula One car into reverse gear. [13:25.400 -> 13:27.400] But when Vettel done it, he come flying down [13:27.400 -> 13:28.240] and he just drifted, [13:28.240 -> 13:31.120] and he was straight back out again. [13:31.120 -> 13:33.720] And he lost like one position. [13:33.720 -> 13:34.840] Yeah, and he came straight back. [13:34.840 -> 13:36.120] Vettel did have a great race. [13:36.120 -> 13:37.600] He likes Azerbaijan though, doesn't he? [13:37.600 -> 13:38.960] He was on the podium there last year. [13:38.960 -> 13:40.160] Was he? [13:40.160 -> 13:41.760] But like you say, it is interesting to see [13:41.760 -> 13:43.680] the Aston Martin climb a lot more. [13:43.680 -> 13:45.120] It's great to see. But it just, it is interesting to see the Aston Martin climb a lot more, it's great to see. [13:50.640 -> 13:54.000] But it just, it signifies really like, how far ahead Red Bull are I think. I do worry that this could be now where we're a one horse race. [13:54.720 -> 13:56.720] I do think it could kind of be gone. [13:56.720 -> 13:58.000] Do you? I don't. [13:58.000 -> 14:01.120] Mate, Red Bull were nearly 100 points ahead of Ferrari in the Constructors. [14:01.680 -> 14:02.320] That's a lot. [14:02.320 -> 14:08.280] Oh maybe for the Constructors, I don't know. Nah, nah it's still early yeah it's still early but Ferrari don't exactly look [14:08.280 -> 14:11.320] like they've got a car Ferrari look like they've got a car that can get track [14:11.320 -> 14:15.060] speed so they can get a qualifying time but when it comes to an actual race [14:15.060 -> 14:20.180] there's so many issues within the team the car I think Red Bull are used to [14:20.180 -> 14:23.900] yeah I was thinking what are Red Bull's issues have come no all of Ferrari's [14:23.900 -> 14:26.560] issues have come since we went in the Ferrari garage. [14:26.560 -> 14:28.060] We go in the Ferrari garage [14:28.060 -> 14:29.360] and then he has that terrible pit. [14:29.360 -> 14:31.280] Well, I didn't want to say enough into you, but... [14:31.280 -> 14:33.160] It just seems like ever since we were there... [14:33.160 -> 14:35.080] I did touch the car under part-firming rules. [14:35.080 -> 14:36.400] Oh, no! [14:36.400 -> 14:38.400] I may have moved a couple of things. [14:38.400 -> 14:39.700] Only because I thought it would help! [14:39.700 -> 14:41.700] I got my screwdriver staggered there. [14:41.700 -> 14:43.100] Imagine people thought you were serious [14:43.100 -> 14:44.600] and just, like, made the news. [14:44.600 -> 14:47.920] We got sued. Imagine. Just to to clear up we didn't touch anything in [14:47.920 -> 14:54.320] the Ferrari fucking sue me I haven't got anything anyway yeah no there is a [14:54.320 -> 14:57.800] serious serious issue with Ferrari however it's nice to know that it's not [14:57.800 -> 15:01.520] an issue with their drivers really because they're both doing amazingly [15:01.520 -> 15:05.320] well K-Mag's an amazing driver. Obviously the two Ferrari boys, [15:05.320 -> 15:09.560] ledge, I think if Ferrari can like sort their car out now, [15:09.560 -> 15:10.880] I actually couldn't believe it. [15:10.880 -> 15:13.400] Like, cause after what happened in Barcelona, [15:13.400 -> 15:15.840] I thought, okay, this is going to be a lesson now. [15:15.840 -> 15:17.800] And then Monaco, they make the mistake of his pit. [15:17.800 -> 15:18.960] Yep. [15:18.960 -> 15:23.400] To me, it feels like they're a historic team. [15:23.400 -> 15:24.920] One of the greats, if not the greatest, [15:24.920 -> 15:27.740] who have had a bad few years [15:27.740 -> 15:31.180] and maybe they're not used to like being this, [15:31.180 -> 15:32.900] I mean, they gotta be on the fucking money now [15:32.900 -> 15:34.860] because Red Bull are absolutely flying. [15:34.860 -> 15:39.740] Red Bull are operating at their most streamlined, [15:39.740 -> 15:43.340] at their most accurate, like they're just so on top of it, [15:43.340 -> 15:45.060] man, if Ferrari think that just because they've created a great engine, that's so on top of it man if a Ferrari thing that just [15:45.060 -> 15:49.000] because they've created a great engine that's good enough it ain't I mean every [15:49.000 -> 15:54.760] single member of that team is vital do you know I'm saying 100% but I thought [15:54.760 -> 15:59.440] Leclerc and Ferrari had won it today when they had done the undercut pit you [15:59.440 -> 16:03.200] know in the safety car came out Red Bull stayed out and then Red Bull still needed [16:03.200 -> 16:07.840] to pit and they were within nine seconds of the car and I was like if Red Bull pit they're [16:07.840 -> 16:12.780] gonna lose 12 seconds but then both Ferraris just went out. They did it to [16:12.780 -> 16:17.040] themselves which is crazy I don't know how drivers deal with that. You travel [16:17.040 -> 16:20.440] all the way around the world you do practice practice practice qualifying [16:20.440 -> 16:24.880] and all in that heat 48 degree track temperature today that's bloody hot. [16:24.880 -> 16:28.740] And the last the last two weeks have been leading up to this because we had a [16:28.740 -> 16:32.380] gap right? Yeah and then that happens and it's not your fault and this is like [16:32.380 -> 16:36.820] your speciality you're a Formula One driver and I guess it's normal this [16:36.820 -> 16:39.860] happens all the time to drivers but my god when you want to win a championship [16:39.860 -> 16:43.100] there can't be anything more annoying. Someone I saw the funniest meme on [16:43.100 -> 16:46.360] Instagram it was like Leclerc getting out the car after DNFing [16:46.360 -> 16:48.640] and then loading spaghetti, [16:48.640 -> 16:50.480] loading pasta into a gun, [16:50.480 -> 16:52.400] just putting it to his head. [16:52.400 -> 16:53.360] Just cracked me up. [16:54.240 -> 16:55.160] He's not even Italian, is he? [16:55.160 -> 16:56.200] He's Mon-Gas-ian. [16:56.200 -> 16:57.040] Mon-Cask-ian? [16:57.040 -> 16:57.860] Yeah. [16:57.860 -> 16:58.700] He's from Monaco. [16:58.700 -> 16:59.520] He's from Monaco. [16:59.520 -> 17:01.200] He's not Italian. [17:01.200 -> 17:02.720] Or is he Italian? [17:02.720 -> 17:04.360] I don't even know if Monaco's Italian. [17:04.360 -> 17:08.600] No, he's Mon-Cask. If Monaco's Italian, I've just fucking said. Roll the music! [17:08.600 -> 17:20.760] So if I go back through my race notes, I'm gonna read through what I've wrote on some [17:20.760 -> 17:28.100] of the laps and hopefully this brings back some memories for fabs and for yous listening at home but on lap 24 Joe DNF'd and that was [17:28.100 -> 17:31.800] when you're on the radio saying are you kidding me again on the radio. He went [17:31.800 -> 17:36.000] happy bunny. What a great race too he was having and then that's a Ferrari power [17:36.000 -> 17:41.600] unit but he was having a great race Joe is good driver I think Joe is actually a [17:41.600 -> 17:48.400] really good driver I think he'll stay next year year It's not I think it's cool to see how different drivers excel on different tracks [17:48.520 -> 17:49.020] Yeah [17:49.020 -> 17:52.400] I feel sorry for him though because when it's your rookie year and you need to prove and [17:52.480 -> 17:56.840] Then he's not been getting very lucky with the car that he's had issues this season [17:56.840 -> 17:59.600] It can't be easy for him to prove that he is a good driver [17:59.600 -> 18:07.280] But obviously the team have to take into account this I think oh, yeah, I think they do. I think anyone who's watching him will look over that. [18:07.280 -> 18:08.440] You think he'll be fine? [18:08.440 -> 18:11.480] Yeah, I think Joe's here to stay another year. [18:11.480 -> 18:12.320] Let's hope so. [18:12.320 -> 18:14.800] It was on lap 27, Alonso flew past Stockholm [18:14.800 -> 18:16.720] on the straight getting 215 mile an hour. [18:16.720 -> 18:17.800] The Don. [18:17.800 -> 18:20.080] 215 mile an hour ain't bad. [18:20.080 -> 18:24.600] Oh yeah, by the way, Baku signified the moment [18:24.600 -> 18:27.360] that Alonso became the longest ever driver [18:27.360 -> 18:29.440] to race in Formula 1 from his debut. [18:29.440 -> 18:30.520] Yeah, you said that. [18:30.520 -> 18:34.240] I still don't get it though, because Raikkonen's had got loads more races. [18:34.240 -> 18:36.120] Alonso had a couple of years off I think. [18:36.120 -> 18:40.320] But surely Raikkonen's still been a race more, because he's got more races. [18:40.320 -> 18:42.400] But in a period of time. [18:42.400 -> 18:45.080] So the two years that Alonso wasn't racing [18:49.920 -> 18:56.160] Raikkonen was or I don't know how long he was off for but so he's just like being a Formula One driver Yeah from his debut till the current day is the longest amount of time someone has well race, which is cool [18:56.200 -> 19:01.240] So Raikkonen must have raced in them two years. So basically Alonso can't be far off. Mm-hmm [19:01.240 -> 19:05.200] I guess not to take him Raikkonen's record. I guess not maybe like 2040 races I wonder if anyone will take him Raikkonen's record? I guess not, maybe like 20, 40 races. [19:05.200 -> 19:08.640] I wonder if anyone will ever beat Raikkonen's record. We'll have to figure out how many, [19:08.640 -> 19:12.320] what the difference is. And it was Schumacher before that, it was Schumacher before that. [19:12.320 -> 19:17.680] What with the most races ever? It's not done by races, it's just like period of time that they've [19:17.680 -> 19:23.280] been in Formula One. Got you. So years, essentially. That makes sense. Obviously we had COVID as well, [19:23.280 -> 19:26.960] didn't we? That fucked everything up. Oh yeah, they would have had loads of races off. [19:26.960 -> 19:27.800] So I don't know. [19:27.800 -> 19:30.080] I don't know how it works, but. [19:30.080 -> 19:31.520] Well, there was loads of different strategies [19:31.520 -> 19:33.280] and stuff today, which was really interesting. [19:33.280 -> 19:34.920] Loads of crazy shit happening. [19:34.920 -> 19:36.840] There was a thing on Sky Sports. [19:36.840 -> 19:37.680] They did it really well. [19:37.680 -> 19:40.240] It was a demonstration before the race about strategies [19:40.240 -> 19:42.280] and how this person thought about it. [19:42.280 -> 19:44.080] And it was a woman from Red Bull. [19:44.080 -> 19:45.600] And she was talking about explaining how they use intermediates last week. And it was a woman from Red Bull, and she was talking about explaining [19:45.600 -> 19:47.160] how they use intermediates last week. [19:47.160 -> 19:48.400] And it was really interesting to watch [19:48.400 -> 19:50.720] how they think about when tires come out, [19:50.720 -> 19:53.080] they're not warm and all that stuff. [19:53.080 -> 19:54.600] And then Red Bull double stacked [19:54.600 -> 19:57.080] when they did their first change today. [19:57.080 -> 19:58.720] And they absolutely smashed it [19:58.720 -> 20:00.720] because I really thought the race was gone [20:00.720 -> 20:02.880] when they didn't pit under that first safety car. [20:02.880 -> 20:05.400] Well, talking about like tires and heat and stuff like that, [20:05.400 -> 20:07.560] do you see how long the front runners were on the grid for [20:07.560 -> 20:09.400] while they're waiting for the rest of the cars to join [20:09.400 -> 20:10.640] after the formation lap? [20:10.640 -> 20:11.600] Were they there for ages? [20:11.600 -> 20:13.520] Ages, man, that straight is so long, isn't it? [20:13.520 -> 20:14.600] It is so long. [20:14.600 -> 20:16.880] The back ones can just drive like slow on it. [20:16.880 -> 20:19.400] The Ferrari, I think that's why Leclerc locked up. [20:20.440 -> 20:21.760] I even said to you before the race started- [20:21.760 -> 20:23.600] That's right, he locked up on the first corner, didn't he? [20:23.600 -> 20:26.000] That's why Perez went straight through. I said to you before the lap started, I said, I he locked up on the first corner didn't he? That's why Perez went straight through. [20:26.000 -> 20:28.000] I said to you before the lap started, I said I'm worried. [20:28.000 -> 20:30.000] Because I didn't, again, I didn't know this, but like [20:30.000 -> 20:32.000] different, er [20:32.000 -> 20:34.000] different tracks, like [20:34.000 -> 20:36.000] the person on pole can be [20:36.000 -> 20:38.000] either side, either left or right. [20:38.000 -> 20:40.000] The grid setup is different for different tracks. [20:40.000 -> 20:42.000] And so pole, [20:42.000 -> 20:44.000] this time, was on the right hand side. [20:44.000 -> 20:45.640] And the first turn was a left [20:45.640 -> 20:49.680] turn so maybe left's even better so I felt like if yeah if you're gonna get a [20:49.680 -> 20:52.760] good start I said to you because Perez on the inside I'm worried that he's [20:52.760 -> 20:56.480] gonna take Leclerc in that first corner and he fucking did it probably is better [20:56.480 -> 21:00.120] to be there on that track yeah because they've got to come around you [21:00.120 -> 21:03.760] technically Leclerc would have had to have got an unbelievable start yeah big [21:03.760 -> 21:05.800] push ahead to make it really worth it. [21:05.800 -> 21:06.800] Yeah. [21:06.800 -> 21:09.800] Otherwise, yeah, I never really thought, I didn't, so what, does it always swap on tracks? [21:09.800 -> 21:13.480] I don't know if it always swaps, but I just remember seeing something on Formula 1 where [21:13.480 -> 21:15.720] it says pole starts on the right. [21:15.720 -> 21:16.720] Wow. [21:16.720 -> 21:17.720] On this track. [21:17.720 -> 21:21.280] So, I don't know, anyone out there who's listening, did you know that as well? [21:21.280 -> 21:23.400] I didn't, of course I didn't know that. [21:23.400 -> 21:24.400] No. [21:24.400 -> 21:25.000] I had no idea. Do you reckon the listeners did? I don't, of course I didn't know that. No? I had no idea. Do you reckon [21:25.000 -> 21:31.320] the listeners did? I don't know, what they do now? Why don't you send us a fax? Send [21:31.320 -> 21:35.240] in your fax mails. You don't have to send fax mails but you do have to like and subscribe [21:35.240 -> 21:39.080] to the podcast, rate it 5 stars if you haven't already, that would really help us out. Yeah [21:39.080 -> 21:42.520] and like and subscribe to our YouTube because we've got some absolute banging videos coming [21:42.520 -> 21:47.400] out.

Oh yeah if you live near London come say hello. [22:01.760 -> 22:05.840] If anyone lives in London come down to Hoxton at Colours in [22:05.840 -> 22:10.440] Hoxton on Friday. What time? I don't know probably like 6 or 7. Can they buy tickets [22:10.440 -> 22:14.960] on the door? You can buy tickets on the door but you can buy them online by going to the [22:14.960 -> 22:18.960] Alexis King's music Instagram page and clicking on the link tree. How much is a ticket on [22:18.960 -> 22:24.200] the door? I'm not sure, online they're 11 quid so £11 is nothing. Yeah come along, [22:24.200 -> 22:27.680] come see us. Fabz is going to be dancing, he's got brought this leather latex outfit [22:27.680 -> 22:29.040] and he's gonna be playing the maracas. [22:29.040 -> 22:31.360] Yeah, and Jake's gonna be there as well, he's playing the coconuts. [22:31.360 -> 22:34.880] Yeah, I'm on the coconuts for an- [22:34.880 -> 22:35.840] What time does it start? [22:36.400 -> 22:37.440] Probably around seven-ish. [22:37.440 -> 22:40.080] All right, seven-ish, be there, or be square. [22:40.080 -> 22:42.720] But you have to be there, because I'm gonna be there, [22:42.720 -> 22:43.920] and I'm gonna have a big dance. [22:43.920 -> 22:46.560] Yeah, we're all gonna go out afterwards and get mashed up, so if anyone wants to come [22:46.560 -> 22:47.960] party with the Piston Up boys... [22:47.960 -> 22:52.200] Oh god, what are you promising everyone? [22:52.200 -> 22:59.040] Baku was Verstappen's 66th podium, which makes him the most accomplished driver in terms [22:59.040 -> 23:01.280] of podiums for Red Bull ever. [23:01.280 -> 23:02.280] Wow. [23:02.280 -> 23:06.440] So they've never had a driver get more than 66 podiums. But when they said [23:06.440 -> 23:11.160] that, I don't know if I've got that completely wrong, because I swear Vettel was there, and [23:11.160 -> 23:15.840] won world championships, but maybe he still didn't get more than 66 podiums at Red Bull, [23:15.840 -> 23:22.520] I don't know how many years he was there. That's a really strong stat for such a young [23:22.520 -> 23:26.400] driver. And the note I've got under that is, where did Perez's speed go? [23:26.960 -> 23:28.720] Why couldn't he compete with Max? [23:29.280 -> 23:30.160] And it made me think, [23:30.800 -> 23:33.040] do you reckon if they want to keep both drivers happy, [23:33.040 -> 23:34.960] because you know like the whole car is basically, [23:34.960 -> 23:37.360] you can control the whole car from where they are, right? [23:37.360 -> 23:38.640] On the computers and whatnot. [23:38.640 -> 23:40.080] Yeah, to a certain extent, yeah. [23:40.080 -> 23:43.280] Do you reckon they can just slow one down a little bit [23:43.280 -> 23:47.420] and speed one up a little bit without having to tell the drivers? [23:48.760 -> 23:50.760] Yeah, do you really? [23:51.000 -> 23:55.320] Because that's a lot easier than radioing into Paris and going you need to let the staffing through [23:55.400 -> 23:59.820] Just slow him down and speed him up if they give themselves a bit of leeway. I have control [24:00.640 -> 24:08.240] However, I mean I was thinking about this during the race and I was thinking Oh my god my sweat patches! God I'm sweating my balls off here! [24:08.240 -> 24:10.960] It's hot in this studio room with these lights! [24:10.960 -> 24:12.960] You were thinking about this? [24:12.960 -> 24:18.320] I was thinking about this during the race and I was thinking that I think the drivers are so in tune with their car now [24:18.320 -> 24:22.560] You have to think that because they spend their entire lives in these cars [24:22.560 -> 24:26.360] They're so in tune with it. It's essentially like another limb. [24:26.360 -> 24:29.520] Like it's like an extension to their body. [24:29.520 -> 24:30.360] Yeah. [24:30.360 -> 24:31.600] I mean, you're strapped into that car. [24:31.600 -> 24:32.760] There's no room for movement. [24:32.760 -> 24:34.960] Like when once, it's like riding a horse. [24:34.960 -> 24:36.440] Like people say when they ride a horse [24:36.440 -> 24:38.640] and you truly ride like one horse [24:38.640 -> 24:40.680] and you become at one with that fucking beast [24:40.680 -> 24:41.880] while you're riding it. [24:41.880 -> 24:44.120] It's just like an extension of you. [24:44.120 -> 24:48.520] So the car, that's why the cars are so finely tuned so if anything was to be changed I think [24:48.520 -> 24:51.720] the driver would notice it straight away really what so do you think if they were [24:51.720 -> 24:54.760] slowing them down or speeding them up they'd be out of town yeah and that's [24:54.760 -> 24:58.240] why Ricardo is the whole reason that Ricardo is saying he's not having a [24:58.240 -> 25:02.140] great year it's because he's just not in tune with his car yeah it's just not set [25:02.140 -> 25:08.960] up to how he needs it to be well do you think Hamilton's still not in tune with his car and you think Russell is I think Mercedes are fucking all over the [25:08.960 -> 25:11.540] Place with it with Hamilton's car in a minute. Why is it porpoising so much? [25:11.540 -> 25:15.520] Yeah, what I don't get why Hamilton's car can be so are we say this every week? [25:15.520 -> 25:22.160] We do say every week, but I still do not get it. Why is there so different right drive to survive have offered Formula One? [25:22.680 -> 25:28.580] Billions of pounds say let's create a narrative this year we're gonna fuck Hamilton's car in the beginning and then [25:28.580 -> 25:31.820] we're gonna give him some fucking orange juice and it's gonna be rocket rocket [25:31.820 -> 25:36.200] boosted halfway through the season Lewis makes a crazy return out of nowhere goes [25:36.200 -> 25:42.500] on to win the championship he's not far off he's not it's the greatest ever a [25:42.500 -> 25:45.660] season of Drive to Survive you You've ever seen millions of pounds [25:46.240 -> 25:50.280] Loads of new fans come to the sport. I would personally prefer it to be Russell [25:51.080 -> 25:56.780] Imagine Russell this whole season doesn't finish out the top five and then starts winning a few in the middle [25:57.400 -> 25:59.800] Russell could win. Yeah, or out of nowhere [26:00.800 -> 26:03.520] Alonso just comes and wins the championship. Yeah [26:04.400 -> 26:08.000] If Alonso won the championship, I would do anything. I've said this before. [26:08.000 -> 26:09.000] What do you mean anything? [26:09.000 -> 26:14.000] If Alonso even wins a race this season, I'll do anything. I'll literally do anything you say. [26:14.000 -> 26:15.000] What do you mean anything? [26:15.000 -> 26:18.000] I don't know. Just don't stare at me and say it in that creepy voice. [26:18.000 -> 26:19.000] Do you know what I want to do? [26:19.000 -> 26:21.000] I mean, like I'll do something crazy. [26:21.000 -> 26:24.000] Do you know what I want to do? One thing that I've always said I'd never do it. [26:24.000 -> 26:29.160] What? I want to jump out of an aeroplane. No, I'm not skydiving never and I'm so scared of heights same [26:29.640 -> 26:34.520] Should I tell the people why I'm scared of heights? Yeah, it's a pretty fair valid story as well. Do I know this? [26:34.520 -> 26:36.820] Yeah, I told you when I was abseiling. Oh, yeah [26:37.680 -> 26:39.680] I went to like a school trip [26:40.000 -> 26:45.400] You know, like how you doing like year four or five or whatever and it was one of them abseiling walls [26:45.400 -> 26:48.000] Where you you know I'm saying you like jump back lean on the road [26:48.560 -> 26:51.000] But I'm scared of height so I climbed down [26:51.000 -> 26:55.040] I like didn't want to do it on the abseiling side so I did it on the rock climbing side when I got to the [26:55.040 -> 26:58.920] Top and I just climbed down the rock climbing wall holding on like dropping myself down [26:59.000 -> 27:04.580] But I still strapped in I wouldn't jump back the guys at the top staring at me going jump back jump back [27:05.040 -> 27:06.000] Telling me what to do [27:06.000 -> 27:07.200] I wouldn't let go of the wall [27:07.200 -> 27:13.360] And I'm just I'm looking there looking up at the guy talk to me holding on on these rocks climbing down and I just hear [27:13.360 -> 27:14.640] this noise [27:14.640 -> 27:18.200] And then I look that must be the scariest noise ever. Yeah, but I was a bit younger [27:18.200 -> 27:21.560] So I didn't really think about it the repercussions of like death when you're younger [27:21.800 -> 27:25.640] No, you don't think about it. You're not scared of it, you don't know it's there. [27:25.640 -> 27:27.640] I just have the funniest mental image of you [27:27.640 -> 27:28.920] just being glued to this wall. [27:28.920 -> 27:29.760] Yeah, mate. [27:29.760 -> 27:31.200] Well, I was, because I'm so, you know I'm scared of heights. [27:31.200 -> 27:32.560] I don't even go to the edge of balconies. [27:32.560 -> 27:34.960] And I was clinging on for anything. [27:34.960 -> 27:37.000] Bear in mind, I should have been on the Abseiling wall. [27:37.000 -> 27:38.800] I was the only one doing it on the rock climbing wall, [27:38.800 -> 27:40.120] because I was scared. [27:40.120 -> 27:42.280] And I'm holding on and my rope just goes [27:42.280 -> 27:43.240] straight out from under me. [27:43.240 -> 27:46.440] I look down at my buckle and I'm no longer tied in. [27:47.040 -> 27:48.920] I'm like three quarters up his abs anymore. [27:48.920 -> 27:51.040] If I fell, I was 100% dead. [27:51.920 -> 27:55.120] And the guy at the top just jumped straight down, swung straight down [27:55.720 -> 27:56.840] and clipped me straight back in. [27:56.840 -> 27:58.160] And I was there with my brother. [27:58.160 -> 28:01.160] My brother was still quite young as well, and we never really thought anything of it. [28:01.360 -> 28:04.280] It wasn't until we got a bit older and we spoke about it and we were like, [28:04.280 -> 28:05.040] oh, my God, [28:05.040 -> 28:07.880] if I was not on the rock climbing side, [28:07.880 -> 28:09.160] I was a hundred percent fooling. [28:09.160 -> 28:11.080] It was the same rope, the same buckle. [28:11.080 -> 28:12.720] Do you know what's so crazy though? [28:12.720 -> 28:13.920] And this is another one of your stories, [28:13.920 -> 28:14.740] but I want to tell it. [28:14.740 -> 28:16.320] The fact that you've done that [28:16.320 -> 28:18.160] and you tell me you're scared of heights [28:18.160 -> 28:21.000] and like you're scared of like going on planes, [28:21.000 -> 28:28.760] yet you got strapped to the fucking wing of an airplane and flown upside down [28:28.760 -> 28:31.760] not upside down but it did do tricks [28:31.760 -> 28:34.680] mate yeah I know I went I was stood on the top of the airplane but that was for [28:34.680 -> 28:36.320] coke tv I thought it did a loop-de-loop [28:36.320 -> 28:39.800] no it did it I don't even remember it flew around but yeah that was the [28:39.800 -> 28:43.320] scariest day of my life but the problem was I said to the producer John I used [28:43.320 -> 28:49.640] to host coke TV it was great fun I said to the producer John I'll do anything on the [28:49.640 -> 28:52.560] last shoot but just don't tell me what because he knew there was a few things [28:52.560 -> 28:55.540] I didn't want to do for heights and I said I'll do it once throughout the [28:55.540 -> 28:59.280] whole season I'll do it on their last shoot you can do anything and I'll do it [28:59.280 -> 29:02.040] and I promised him and I turned up in the middle of this fucking airfield and [29:02.040 -> 29:07.880] they told me I was standing on the top of a plane That's brutal mate. It was not your fire. That is [29:08.480 -> 29:12.720] You know the worst bit about in the video is I hadn't been briefed that they were gonna go up and then nosedive [29:12.720 -> 29:15.960] I hadn't been briefed on that. I just been told they were gonna fly around [29:15.960 -> 29:21.400] I think it started nose diving. I would rather skydive than do that. Yeah on reflection [29:21.400 -> 29:24.300] I'd rather skydive and do that. Maybe we can think of some like charity thing [29:24.300 -> 29:26.880] You know what's so great is that I just if if if this [29:26.880 -> 29:30.360] carries on the way that it's going and we end up you know carry on doing this [29:30.360 -> 29:34.460] crazy shit which we're so blessed to be doing by the way if this trend carries [29:34.460 -> 29:37.840] on we will there will be a point where you and me are going to be skydiving [29:37.840 -> 29:42.480] yeah probably. And I don't want to do it either but a part of me does a part of me [29:42.480 -> 29:46.240] just wants to tick it off the list and be like, I've done it. Yeah, I wouldn't mind doing it. [29:46.240 -> 29:48.960] But I wouldn't want to do it like in Dubai [29:48.960 -> 29:50.200] above like the palm. [29:50.200 -> 29:52.320] We should do it over a Formula One race weekend. [29:52.320 -> 29:55.120] I would want to go with like Oli Ollerton [29:55.120 -> 29:58.560] and like Jason Fox and do it out of a fucking military [29:58.560 -> 30:02.240] like Chinook or some shit over somewhere crazy [30:02.240 -> 30:03.880] and do it in all the gear and everything. [30:03.880 -> 30:08.300] Who knows what guests we may have on. The whole idea of the video with Oli Ollerton is [30:08.300 -> 30:12.000] one because he's a new Formula One fan so the podcast on Tuesday is all about how he [30:12.000 -> 30:15.400] became a new fan, what he thinks about Formula One, stuff like that. [30:15.400 -> 30:18.640] Mainly about crazy SAS shit. Yeah, some of his crazy stories. But the idea [30:18.640 -> 30:23.120] in it is if we can get people who like Formula One on the podcast but then also do what they [30:23.120 -> 30:30.240] do so he does like SAS, so we did a bit of SAS training. If you can do that alongside, we can then get so many guests on [30:30.240 -> 30:34.240] and we can create content for you guys doing so much crazy shit, like we could do anything. [30:34.240 -> 30:36.480] I just had the sickest, sickest idea ever. What? [30:36.480 -> 30:38.480] I had the sickest idea ever just now. What is it? [30:38.480 -> 30:42.000] Well you know Oli's story about how he was, I don't want to spill the beans for like the [30:42.000 -> 30:46.840] episode which is going to be coming out, but the story he told when he was on the highway, [30:46.840 -> 30:49.360] and he said we should do that in Formula One cars, [30:49.360 -> 30:51.720] we should try and set up a track day [30:51.720 -> 30:55.260] where we take turns, if we can get someone else, [30:55.260 -> 30:57.320] like Jason Fox or someone else like that, [30:57.320 -> 30:58.640] I'll be paired with one of them, [30:58.640 -> 30:59.720] you're paired with one of them, [30:59.720 -> 31:01.120] we've got to drive around a racetrack [31:01.120 -> 31:02.200] and there's targets set up, [31:02.200 -> 31:03.520] and they've got a paintball gun, [31:03.520 -> 31:04.920] and they've got to hang out at the back of the car. [31:04.920 -> 31:06.240] We've got to set the quickest lap up and they've got like a paintball gun and they've got to hang out the back of the car. We've got to set [31:06.240 -> 31:09.560] the quickest lap and they've got to try and shoot as many targets as they can [31:09.560 -> 31:14.720] and whoever team gets the most points combined I don't know fucking wins an [31:14.720 -> 31:19.120] ice cream. I like the brainer, that's crazy idea. [31:19.120 -> 31:47.440] That could be genius. Any ideas you ever have or any like influencers famous people anyone you know in the world just someone interested in with something fun be reach out we'll try as long as they like Formula One they can be a new fan they could have watched it once we just need to have a little bit of Formula One chat [31:47.440 -> 31:50.760] the greatest thing about it is we're never short of ideas so we can make [31:50.760 -> 31:54.320] funny things happen it was great with Ollie because he was in the SAS so he's [31:54.320 -> 31:57.920] so skilled and trained and understands the mind a lot so we were talking about [31:57.920 -> 32:01.100] like the mind of a Formula One driver like how they deal with things the [32:01.100 -> 32:04.960] pressure you know the timing on everything and that was great to get his [32:04.960 -> 32:09.280] input on it so as long as we can relate it, send us a message and let [32:09.280 -> 32:16.720] us know who you think would be a great guest. Yeah, and on that note, Liver King out! Fab's [32:16.720 -> 32:22.360] been loving Liver King. Yeah, I do, I do enjoy watching his Instagrams. You watch so many [32:22.360 -> 32:27.520] weird YouTube videos, man. I don't even watch YouTube. Why eat a vegetable when you can get down on a testicle? [32:27.520 -> 32:30.720] Okay, well that brings us to the end of the Baku Race Weekend. [32:30.720 -> 32:31.840] Oh, that rhymed. [32:31.840 -> 32:33.800] There'll be a new episode tomorrow.

[32:43.720 -> 32:48.040] And it would be amazing if we could see like a spike on Tuesday in the views and see that you [32:48.040 -> 32:51.800] guys are loving it so please do like subscribe to the podcast rate your five [32:51.800 -> 32:58.660] stars and we'll see you guys on Tuesday and on Thursday.
