  Speaker B: Thanks for tuning in to the undercuts review of the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix. Please rate, review and subscribe wherever you listen and enjoy the show.
• 0:20
  Speaker C: By being a racing driver, you are under risk all the time. By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you're no longer a racing driver.
• 0:33
  Speaker D: Well, guys, we're rolling along in the season now. We're at the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix and you know, usually we talk about coupes at the end, but just to give a brief thing like going into this, it's just become so close to call how any of this is going to go, and it just seems to be that way. I mean, race after race, it's just completely mixed. I mean, it's the same few teams at the top, but the order could be really any way around.
• 1:06
  Speaker A: Yeah, I think people have certainly got used to knowing, you know, who to put number one. Number two, obviously max dominance. The last few years, everybody had him first and was scoring big points. Yeah, the points people are scoring have definitely gone down. So there's the opportunity, if you get it right, to make some moves in your prediction. But yeah, yeah, Nick, I don't know if you've looked at the standings. I know you were traveling.
• 1:31
  Speaker E: I have. Not.
• 1:34
  Speaker A: The best reading for you, sir, I'm afraid.
• 1:36
  Speaker E: No.
• 1:40
  Speaker A: Jason kept the damage to a minimum, but neither of you are leading the way anymore. So all to play for the max.
• 1:48
  Speaker E: Fans are putting max up at the top.
• 1:50
  Speaker A: I mean, it's not just who gets number one, right. It's those other also rans that are making their way in there. You know, the passes and you know, whatever else, scoring some points. So it's tough. It's tough out there.
• 2:04
  Speaker D: Yeah. Well, I mean, Singapore, we don't expect a lot of overtaking. I mean, we saw a couple crazy overtakes, particularly the one Alonzo, I don't remember who it was that he was overtaking, but I had never seen a pass there before. But I mean, not much movement other than a couple instances. I mean, Lando had a great jump, if you want to call it that.
• 2:31
  Speaker A: The start of this. Well, yeah, at the start of the race for sure. Yeah. I mean, that was. That was the main talking point of the. Of the race. So certainly, certainly the first three quarters of the race. Right, was Lando, a great start. And then unlike the second or third, third corner, he managed to get the inside line inside of Piastri, but he wasn't quite ahead but he broke late, clipped. He did hit the back of Max's car.
• 2:59
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker A: Corrected his wheel or sort of pushed him to the right a little bit. His. His steering wheel definitely turned to the right, whether he turned it or it was bumped that way. And he hit Piastri, which Piastri had to bail out, hit the brakes, and of course, Lando was through.
• 3:13
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 3:14
  Speaker E: Did. Did he have to break?
• 3:17
  Speaker A: I mean, he was going into the wall. I think he certainly had to do something. Piastri take evasive maneuvers. The wall was right there.
• 3:25
  Speaker E: He was turning left anyway. Turning left.
• 3:31
  Speaker A: But yeah, I mean, Piastri got on the radio immediately complaining, you know, papaya rules, which we don't really know what, what they are, although don't hit your teammate surely is one of the ten commandments.
• 3:46
  Speaker E: But to be fair, I mean, you've got Austria and where was the other one? I think it was Monza. Right where he locked up and barely avoided hitting Lando. I mean, I don't know. You look at when they've changed the positions or they've. The team have asked people to yield. It's been. When there's been things that the team have influenced that have not turned out how they should have so that the racing doesn't get completed on track. In this case, they were racing on track. So I don't get why people are trying to make it a big deal or I mean, maybe Oscar's trying to make it a big deal, but they're racing on the track. So if you're racing on the track, you're racing on the track. It's not like you got a late, like a long pit stop because you conceded to let your teammate go first.
• 4:40
  Speaker A: Right.
• 4:40
  Speaker E: Which Lando didn't do this time. They said, are you okay to let Oscar go first for the pit stops? He's like, yeah, nah, nah. And he went in and then, you know, look what happens. Oscar got a five second pit stop. So, yeah, you know, it's.
• 4:57
  Speaker A: I was telling, I was telling Jason before we started recording. Maybe you should take a look where. I don't know who it was, but probably a Piastri fan or maybe just a Formula one fan wrote. Did a big write up today on Reddit of the all the different sort of papaya rules incidents. And they certainly paint a picture that Piastri is the one getting hard done by more often than Lando in all these little maneuverings that Piastri gets shouted at when he, you know, locks up his brakes, doesn't hit Lando, but, you know, Lando just gets to keep the place when he bumps into Piastri. I mean, you have to read the whole thing. I'm giving you not a fair summary of what the guy wrote.
• 5:37
  Speaker E: Piastri didn't get by on either occasion when that happened.
• 5:41
  Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. But watching it real time and I think I texted you at the time, Jason, I was like. When Piastri was complaining, I'm like, oh, come on, Oscar, just keep racing.
• 5:55
  Speaker E: Is this Oscar starting to unravel mentally?
• 5:58
  Speaker D: Absolutely. I mean, this is two races in a row, right? Two races in a row where he has been complaining on the radio and not being the calm, cool, collected guy that we've come to see in the first however many races.
• 6:11
  Speaker A: Yeah. I guess it's easy to come across as calm, cool and collected when you're just winning races from the front. Right. And there's no. Nothing to deal with in front of you now. Now the McLarens are, like, in the pack, fighting for every point, you know? You know, they're not winning races even anymore. So, yeah, if it's harder to implement Papaya rules when you've got all these other cars around you doing stuff, too. So who knows where this is going to end up.
• 6:39
  Speaker E: Yeah.
• 6:39
  Speaker D: And I mean, especially now, it will.
• 6:41
  Speaker E: End up with one of them being World champion.
• 6:44
  Speaker D: Yes.
• 6:44
  Speaker E: I mean, I don't think that. I mean, as great as Max is and as. As close as he's, you know, as many points as he's taken out, he's still going to need more than 10 points out of Oscar and seven points or whatever out of Lando to. To win the World Championship. So either way, it's going to be one of the McLaren boys who win it. I just hope it goes as far into the season as. As we want it to. That is Abu Dhabi.
• 7:10
  Speaker A: Sure.
• 7:11
  Speaker E: Yeah.
• 7:12
  Speaker A: I wonder if this. I wonder if this podcast will break the record for the least number of times we mentioned the actual winner during the podcast because we've. We're already, like, I don't know, 10 minutes in, and we've not even said the name of the guy that. That qualified on pole and won the race.
• 7:27
  Speaker D: That's the story of George, isn't it?
• 7:31
  Speaker A: He's been that way the whole season, like two guys on the podium, and George, like, oh, look, he's on the.
• 7:37
  Speaker E: Top step and he doesn't have a contract yet for next year.
• 7:40
  Speaker A: Unbelievable. Crazy, right?
• 7:43
  Speaker E: I think he maybe could tag on another million or so after that performance, because I think that that was, I don't want to say complete A weekend. Because I think Friday and beginning of Saturday he didn't do too well. But yeah, he, you know, he nailed it in qualifying and was just, he just checked out in the race. You know, I think that Lando on the medium tire said he was faster than Max on the soft. Max was trying to stretch the soft out so he knew that he wasn't going to win the race, so he just let George go. So it would have been interesting if Lando had got past Max at some point, maybe put some pressure on George, but George just ran his race and that race was to victory. So another good, another good weekend for him.
• 8:28
  Speaker A: Yeah, I mean overtaking was abs. Was, was so hard. I think Alonso was fighting with Hajar in the middle of the race. Maybe that's the overtake you were talking about. Roundabout lap 37 and that was when Hajar had been told that his, his engine was, was failing and that he was losing or they turned the engine down and he was losing like half a second, second or more a lap and Alonso still could barely overtake him. You know, Super.
• 8:54
  Speaker E: And Fernando called him a hero, hero of the race or something.
• 8:59
  Speaker A: Alonso had it. Oh my God.
• 9:01
  Speaker E: Some radio gems from Fernando today because.
• 9:06
  Speaker A: He had a terrible stop. Right. He also, I think front right on his car wouldn't go on properly, so he had like a nine second stop. And yeah, his engineer came on and Alonso said, if you're going to talk to me every lap, I'm going to disconnect the radio. Yeah, but that's what you get with with Alonso. He, he, he's earned, he's earned that. Right. I think if he didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck at all right at the moment.
• 9:34
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 9:35
  Speaker E: Wow.
• 9:37
  Speaker D: Unfortunate. I mean, in the end he was able to get up into the point. So from amazing job for sure how his race was. Yeah, it was amazing. And I guess the other thing that we also haven't mentioned yet is that, you know, so I listened to the, the Sky Sports broadcast live during the race and then I watched like the 30 minute version with the F1TV guys and both of them said when that like first incident between the McLarens at the beginning of the race, they both said, you know, well, that seems the gloves are off, right. Because the championship, the driver or the constructors championship is over. They don't have to worry about that anymore. So in theory they can crash all they want. I mean they'll have, they don't want to spend too much money having to fix the car, obviously, but you know, now it's just the fight till the end. And if they're going to be extra aggressive because of that, is it really impossible for Max to get back into this? I mean, it just seems bad for McLaren right now. They're just making so many mistakes.
• 10:43
  Speaker E: Are they? I don't know. I just think that's like the TV people trying to kind of hype things up and, you know, produce content. Right. Rather than actually saying what's actually happening on track, which is just people are racing.
• 10:59
  Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, I think it's, it's definitely, like I said, it's closer now because the McLarens are in the pack. They're not just running away with it at the front. So, yeah, you're going to get more action. There's going to be more things to deal with. I mean. Yeah. Jason, I think we talked about this last week. You know, is there a way in which Max can like legitimately reinsert himself in. Sure. A couple of DNFs from. They're both the McLarens. And if Max scores first seconds, then yeah, he's going to eat into that league quickly. But that's un. Unlikely. But not, certainly not impossible. But. But unlikely.
• 11:32
  Speaker E: You know, I think that the way that Max influences the world championship is just by inserting himself into things. And you know, the Red Bull has, you know, the Red Bull car has definitely turned a corner with that new floor that they brought in Monza. It's definitely, definitely changed that car. You can see how much quicker it is. But I don't think any of us had George Russell winning the race in our coupesack one pips. Yeah, yeah.
• 11:58
  Speaker A: That came from nowhere. And how fickle are Formula one fans? Like, if you're not like a die hard fan of a particular driver. You know, Max totally dominating the last few seasons, you know, and winning these world championships and now we're willing him to get back into contention. You know, weren't we happy to see the back of him at the start of the season when it looked like when he, Missouri wasn't going to win. And now we want him in there. Like, who are we?
• 12:25
  Speaker E: We are indeed a fickle bunch.
• 12:30
  Speaker A: But I mean, when you talk about crashing Jason to win twin championships and driving aggressively, I mean, my mind goes back to, you know, Senna, Prost, when they were teammates back in the day. Was it Suzuka was the last race of the season. It was a big showdown between Senna and Proston. Senna took out Prost on the first corner and declared himself world champion.
• 12:53
  Speaker D: Didn't they both do that to each other at some point?
• 12:56
  Speaker A: Nick, fill us in on the actual facts.
• 12:58
  Speaker E: No, it was, you're exactly right. I think that was like 89 or 90 for the first corner because the year before they took each out, they crashed into each other at the last chicane, the Cassio chicane in Suzuka as well. And Prost couldn't continue and Senna did as well. So that was, I think Senna's first two world titles came in sort of incidents with Prost at Suzuka. And then of course Michael Schumacher like five or six years later, firstly on David Hill in Adelaide and then on Jacques Villeneuve the following year. But the incident on Villeneuve was so blatant that they basically disqualified him from the whole World championships.
• 13:45
  Speaker A: Disqualified him from the season. You talk about a 10 second time penalty taking away all of your actions for the whole year. But yeah, there's plenty of. I mean that's what we love to see. Right. Like, as you said, Nick, we hope it's close come the end. You know, you want a situation like Brazil in 2008 in the wet with, you know, Massa winning his home Grand Prix thinking that he'd won the world title. And then Hamilton overtaking Timo Glock, you know, on, on slick tires at the end of the, at the end of the race to, to snatch it back. You know, hopefully that's what we're going to get, something like that this, this year.
• 14:27
  Speaker E: But, but speaking of crashes, no crashes today. No safety cars.
• 14:31
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 14:32
  Speaker E: Only red flags, the little yellow flags for only a brief period. Yeah, as, as you know, I think they're only like two, two momentary yellow flags the whole race, which Hulkenberg spun.
• 14:44
  Speaker A: Out, I think, trying to overtake somebody locked up the rear but didn't hit the wall and kept it going. Um, Max locked himself up and nearly hit the wall, but managed to get it stopped. Um, right, so no retirements at all. Everybody finished.
• 15:00
  Speaker D: I think that's right. I mean Lewis looked like he was.
• 15:03
  Speaker A: Oh, that's true.
• 15:04
  Speaker D: On last legs at the end and almost got passed by Alonso at the very, you know, last moment of the race, but was able to keep it going.
• 15:12
  Speaker E: And going into the last lap, I think he was 40 seconds ahead of Fernando.
• 15:16
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 15:17
  Speaker A: And he only finished a handful of seconds ahead.
• 15:20
  Speaker D: Yeah, not even like less than a second.
• 15:22
  Speaker E: It was, yeah, it was, yeah, he, he was battling with no brakes. Who was it? Who was it? It was ahead. He was, oh, Antonelli. He was battling with Antonelli and he was trying to Make a move. And then you just saw sparks come out of the brake. And. And that was that. I think it was a disc failure. And then he came on, he said he got no brakes. So two laps from the end, he was lapping, you know, two, two and a half minutes a lap. Just nursing it to the end.
• 15:54
  Speaker A: You know, I mean, what's the, what's the rules there? You can't drive. If that was like five laps from the end, you'd have to retire the car.
• 16:00
  Speaker E: You would. And, and I think there was some further. Fernando Alonso Radio comedy gold. Well, not really comedy gold, but he was fuming on the end. I think he dropped like eight consecutive F bombs. About talking about Lewis, how they, you know, he was almost getting disqualified for having a mirror hanging off. And Lewis has got no brakes, you.
• 16:24
  Speaker A: Know, because he was like violating track limits all over the place. I think Lewis, there was no track.
• 16:30
  Speaker E: I think it just basically straight lined every corner and just nursed his way back. And he got a. Ultimately got a five second penalty at the end. Right. I think that put him behind Fernando.
• 16:40
  Speaker A: Oh, did he?
• 16:41
  Speaker D: Did he?
• 16:42
  Speaker E: I think so.
• 16:43
  Speaker A: I don't think so.
• 16:44
  Speaker E: No.
• 16:45
  Speaker A: I was expecting that to happen, but I don't think it did. Oh, he did. Oh, he did.
• 16:50
  Speaker D: They gave Lewis P8. Yeah.
• 16:53
  Speaker A: Oh, I got to adjust the coupes. F1 scores then.
• 16:56
  Speaker D: I missed that note.
• 16:57
  Speaker E: That's vaulting up to the front again, Martin.
• 17:00
  Speaker A: I don't know.
• 17:01
  Speaker D: I could see Lewis right in the right spot.
• 17:04
  Speaker A: I could do a. I could do a real time. I could do a real time update right now.
• 17:07
  Speaker D: Oh, no.
• 17:12
  Speaker A: Okay. I did not realize that they swept spot, although I didn't either.
• 17:16
  Speaker D: I didn't get a notification or anything.
• 17:18
  Speaker A: Yeah, okay. Yeah, I totally was expecting that to happen. Okay, that makes a bit more sense then because I was kind of shocked that that didn't happen. They didn't get a penalty.
• 17:25
  Speaker E: Yeah, the stewards would not let that one go through. I mean, sorry. Lewis wasn't the only one having breaking trouble too. Max. One of the reasons that he almost went straight on turn 14 was that he was having difficulty with the downshifts. So it's like you got like micro lockups every time he was downshifting and it meant that he wasn't getting the retardation. And I think at one point he said it's like a handbrake going on when it, you know, when he's downshifting. So. Which is, you know, it's max. He still finished second despite the fact that Every corner he's like someone throwing on a handbrake, like for a second, you know, as he's breaking into a corner.
• 18:07
  Speaker A: That's crazy what these guys can do. It reminds me of, was it a Schumacher in one race he had, he had to drive around like fourth gear only or something, and he only lost barely any time, but he was stuck in gear for half the race or something like that. It's crazy. All right, let's see.
• 18:24
  Speaker D: I got more points.
• 18:26
  Speaker A: Here you go, Jason, I think that.
• 18:28
  Speaker E: Was Barcelona 1995, but don't you go on that. And it was fifth gear.
• 18:32
  Speaker A: That helps you out. That helped you out, Nick. So Jason, you're still in second, but Nick, you only dropped to fifth instead of being dropped to seventh with that.
• 18:39
  Speaker E: Look, money, I'm way out of it. I've got to try harder for the last. Must it. Six races locked.
• 18:46
  Speaker A: Something like that. Yeah, something like that.
• 18:49
  Speaker D: And helped our Heatley out.
• 18:52
  Speaker A: Yeah, our Heatley's at the top. So the top scores were. He actually R. Heatley got the top score of the week, 255.
• 19:00
  Speaker D: Geez.
• 19:01
  Speaker A: And Chubbo is back up there again. I think he got our top score last week. He's my friend from the UK, 245. So he must be making a move.
• 19:10
  Speaker D: But yeah, you know, the fight's on.
• 19:13
  Speaker A: So still to play for you, only 14 points behind Jason. So.
• 19:18
  Speaker D: Wow.
• 19:18
  Speaker A: Lots of, lots of time to go. But yeah, let's hope that you guys are right. McLaren has won the championship now maybe they'll be a bit more lenient. You guys go out there and race. Show us who's the best driver. Oscar, you've got a little bit of a lead in the championship, you know, make it count.
• 19:34
  Speaker E: 22 points now, is it?
• 19:37
  Speaker D: I think they're 18 points apart, the two of them.
• 19:39
  Speaker A: Pretty close.
• 19:41
  Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, they're 18 points or. No, no, you're right, 22 points apart. Yeah. So, I mean, it's pretty close. I, I, I don't think there's anything else that we really haven't spoken about race wise. Obviously there were a couple of guys that, you know, had better races than we were expecting them to. Kimmy was fantastic. He's really turned it around the past couple races. Obviously he had a stretch there where he was really looking not so good.
• 20:12
  Speaker E: So, yeah, two consecutive top five finishes. Yeah. Jimmy Antonelli. Right. A team that didn't do too great this weekend was my friends over at Williams.
• 20:24
  Speaker A: What the, what was the infraction? Something to do with the, in like a Rear wing, the DRS flap was.
• 20:30
  Speaker E: Too wide when it opened up. It's. You're allowed to be 85 millimeters, I think you said. And they have a very sophisticated tool. It's a ball on a stick or on a rope and you open up the flap and if they can pull the rope and the ball goes through, then it's. It's greater than 85 millimeters and you fail the test. So that's what they fell afoul of.
• 20:58
  Speaker D: Very scientific.
• 20:59
  Speaker E: Yeah. And so they ended up starting from the back of the grid. Although I did see one of the Alpines was starting from the pit lane. I don't know what was going on there.
• 21:07
  Speaker D: There were two cars that started in the pit lane. Can't remember what the other one was, but Kalapinto did for sure. I can't remember. Did he crash during qualifying? Maybe something happened, but yeah, I don't remember. I don't remember where he started. Who else started back there? But I mean, the other guys, Carl, like you said, they started from the back, but Carlos was still able to get back up into the points somehow.
• 21:38
  Speaker E: Yeah. And. And who overtook Albon like into like turn 16 or something? Albon seemed to be just like napping and.
• 21:51
  Speaker A: Albert had a massive. He had a massive lockup at one point, Albon, didn't he? Oh, that was before he changed because he went very long on his stint, I think.
• 21:58
  Speaker E: Yeah, yeah.
• 21:59
  Speaker A: I'm not quite sure who overtook him.
• 22:01
  Speaker E: Yeah. As you can tell, I was watching the race on my phone in Newark Airport in a. At a. Sat at the bar at a restaurant. So I, I didn't get full details on every, on every incident through the race. But I did recall alone getting past and thinking, God, he got. You got little bit stitched up there. Maybe he wasn't really paying attention to someone coming up behind him.
• 22:27
  Speaker D: He had a tough race, Albon and then obviously Ali. And Ali was able to get up into the points too. And he started in. Well, I guess he started in the top 10, didn't he?
• 22:40
  Speaker E: Yeah's. Having a good season. I think, you know, he's definitely got ocom's number. I think, you know, he's standing himself in good position for when Lewis does finally call it a day to hop up into the Ferrari team. Obviously a Ferrari junior driver subbed in for Carlos a couple of times last year when Carlos had appendicitis in Saudi. So, yeah, I think he's definitely cementing his place. He's shown, you know, he's, he's solid. I Mean, all of you know, the rookies this year, we've not really. None of them have really been embarrassing themselves, which is kind of unusual. You, you have a rookie who is a, I don't want to say a Logan Sargent or a Joe. I mean, because Joe did decent as well, but at times. Yeah, but all of the rookies, they've had their moments, right? I mean.
• 23:38
  Speaker D: Yeah, yeah.
• 23:39
  Speaker E: Obviously Liam had a tough time. Yuki stepped in after two races into the Red Bull team. He didn't really do much today either. No.
• 23:52
  Speaker D: Yeah. And I mean, Hajar, who's been, you could argue, the star of all the rookies, and he had, you know, a lot of opportunity to get in the points starting, I mean, in the top 10, I don't remember exactly where, but he just finished right outside of the point. So disappointing for, for him. And I would say, I mean, Ferrari are just kind of. They've separated themselves in the wrong way from the top three teams, it seems as of late.
• 24:22
  Speaker E: Yeah, definitely the fourth best team again, which is. I don't think any of us saw that coming into the season given how well they did at the end of last. But you know, Hajar obviously finishing just outside the points, but when he's losing 4/10 of a second from this engine issue.
• 24:42
  Speaker D: That's right.
• 24:43
  Speaker E: That's still a solid drive.
• 24:45
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 24:48
  Speaker D: Well, I don't think there's really much else we, we have to talk about.
• 24:54
  Speaker E: Yeah, it wasn't the most eventful race, was it? I mean, say no crasher, no safety cars. It was, you know, it was exciting at the start, but then it just kind of fell into that rhythm. And the only things that were really changing the running order were people moving backwards because of problems and, you know, not really too many hard battles on the track because once they got inside like a second or a second and a half, you couldn't do anything. I mean, Lando sat behind Max for I don't know how many laps inside a second and a half. And even with Drs, you know, nothing could really. He couldn't pull anything off. So it was kind of a little bit exciting with the tire offset and trying to figure out with the pit stops a little bit a couple of bluffs going on with the pit stops, trying to get Max hit. And then they stayed out a little bit, but not long. And it was, you know, seven laps and it didn't really make any difference at the end. There was no real tire offset. Maybe, you know, it's a night race, so maybe there's just not the same thermal dag on the tyres to make the tyres just fall away. And so once everyone was on the hard tire, nothing really happened other than Lewis doing a two stop, putting the soft on at the end and trying to make a move. He had a free stop, but that was about as exciting as it got towards the end.
• 26:09
  Speaker A: Yeah, the radio message to Norris, like box to overtake Max was cringy on about turn five. Boxed over to Max.
• 26:23
  Speaker E: Yeah, Box won't take on on turn five so that it's not really selling them a dummy because why would you tell someone to come in that early?
• 26:32
  Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nobody fell for that, let alone Redbourne.
• 26:40
  Speaker D: Yeah, we've seen many people try and do the dummy pit stop and I don't think I've ever seen it work out for anybody, you know, so, and then, so I guess really we're going, coming home to the US for the, for the next race and it usually it should be one that's good for McLaren on paper. Right. Although, you know, it does have, it's.
• 27:04
  Speaker E: Got some high speed parts. Yeah, yeah, it's slow and fast and obviously McLaren is exactly good on the, on the quick corners. Interesting to see. I mean, I think the Red Bull has shown it can do pretty much anything on any track now, so we'll see how that goes. Maybe, maybe Verstappen's in the mix. Maybe Mercedes have turned a corner as well. I don't know, maybe they're up there too. But I think that bigger chance comes in Vegas for Mercedes.
• 27:33
  Speaker D: He has to give up the corner. I had the nose ahead.
• 27:37
  Speaker A: What is wrong with these people?
