  Speaker B: Thanks for tuning in to the undercuts review of the 2025 Vegas 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 at the 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.
• 0:34
  Speaker B: Well, boys, we're getting to the end of the season, but things are up in. Up in flux now, right? I mean, both.
• 0:45
  Speaker D: I don't know what you're talking about. You know, Lando finished the race in second. Wanted, like a 43 point lead or something, right?
• 0:54
  Speaker A: Yeah, you should have stayed up a bit longer, Nick.
• 1:00
  Speaker B: So what was the official diagnosis? The plank underneath the car, I guess, was too worn down and it wasn't big enough.
• 1:09
  Speaker A: So, Yep, Yeah, it's a.
• 1:11
  Speaker D: It's a 10 millimeter plank and it needs to be 9 millimeters thick by the end of the race. And I did read that Oscar's was 0.24 of a millimeter too thin, and Lando's was 0.12 of a millimeter too thin. That's like about a hair.
• 1:31
  Speaker A: It's tiny.
• 1:33
  Speaker D: Well, one of my hairs obviously little thinner than yours.
• 1:40
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 1:41
  Speaker A: I mean, what. What? There's nothing they can do, right? They measure it. They have the accuracy to measure it that they get the calipers out.
• 1:51
  Speaker D: Was it like. It's like 50 bucks from Amazon and it's.
• 1:55
  Speaker A: It's the same for everyone. I mean, it seemed from the post race stuff that I've seen, it looks like they were well aware that they were having issues with bottoming out, and they were asking them to try and manage it during the race.
• 2:06
  Speaker D: Yeah, I think they were. They were doing. They were asking Lando more, and obviously he fell away, like seconds and seconds a lap at the end. But they didn't really tell Oscar too much. I guess they didn't want to broadcast the fact that they were having plank troubles because they didn't want to say, watch the wear on the plank, because as soon as you say that, then the FIA are gonna go, we should test that plank.
• 2:28
  Speaker A: We'll check that later.
• 2:29
  Speaker D: Yeah, but, yeah, I mean, Oscar, I guess, was in drs, so they didn't think that it would be as bad because obviously when you're at vmax, that's when it's really pushing.
• 2:41
  Speaker A: Right.
• 2:41
  Speaker D: The end, the latter part of the straight, you're pushing down into the ground more, and maybe under drs, they thinking it wasn't too much of a problem, or they kind of figured that it's like, it's a problem. It's either going to be a problem or it's not. So just so can go for it, Right?
• 2:55
  Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, it's. It's the same for everybody. Nobody else had this issue. You know, everybody else set their ride height accordingly. Is it true to say. I mean, Jason, I don't know if you know that these street circuits are necessarily a bit more bumpy than maybe a design circuit, so you need to ride a bit higher. You know, could. Could be an issue.
• 3:18
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker A: I mean, disgusted with McLaren, he can barely talk.
• 3:23
  Speaker D: We'll just. We'll just. We'll cover this, Jason. Go make a cup of tea or something. We'll just cover this, and then you can come back when we could talk about how shit Ferrari are, and then Martin can go and make his copper. Yeah, it's. Yeah. Obviously, the streets are always bumpy and more so than regular street tracks, so they have to generally run them a little higher. But I don't know. I mean, they didn't do a whole lot of dry running, and maybe that was contributing, I don't know. But it's a pretty bad error to make, especially at this point in the season with so much on the line. Yeah.
• 4:02
  Speaker A: But, I mean, one. Sorry, Jason. Go ahead.
• 4:04
  Speaker B: You could see that their car was sparking way more than you really could.
• 4:08
  Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, right.
• 4:12
  Speaker D: I think I did. I mean, obviously, there's a lot of speculation about it, but, you know, one of the rumors around was that they figured out on the reconnaissance lap even that they were. There was a lot of sparks, and they're running low because they don't obviously. It's 9. It was 10 millimeter. It's 1 centimeter thick. The plant. They obviously don't have sensors to measure the thickness of the plank, but they can kind of infer the amount of wear that the plant could be getting based on loads going through the car. They can tell when it's bottoming out, all the telemetry and everything. And I think on the reconnaissance lap, as they were going out, and we're like, we're getting quite a lot of bumps on this.
• 4:54
  Speaker A: Wow. Yeah. But. Well, I mean, it didn't make whether. Whether they ran it low or the correct. I mean, if they ran it higher, you would assume the car would be slower. And that didn't make any difference to Max Verstappen, did it? Right. Whether Lando got disqualified or not, Max won, like, and Lando couldn't do anything about it.
• 5:16
  Speaker D: Yeah. And it was a great race by Max, obviously in the wet during qualifying. He wasn't on the pace, but he put it in second and got the job done. Obviously, Lando off the line, cut across in front of Max, and maybe he just. He was nervous about hitting the brakes too early, thinking Max might go into the back of him or something. But he outbreaked himself.
• 5:39
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 5:39
  Speaker D: And that was. That was him out of the lead and both Max and George through.
• 5:44
  Speaker A: Yeah, he ended up dropping. Yeah. All the way down to third. Yeah. He was the first car to the first corner, but the third car out of it, which was. Yeah. Infuriating for him. I'm sure Jason has no opinion because he's like, what difference does it make whether it be 3rd or 20th or does he got disqualified anyway?
• 6:02
  Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, I knew that both cars were to call were disqualified when I watched it. So I'm just watching this and I'm just like, what does it matter? What does it matter? Lando should have just. Just stopped right in front of Max, let him crash into the back of him and let Oscar go back. Go on. Because he would have gotten disqualified anyway, you know. So what difference does it make?
• 6:25
  Speaker A: Well, that's the, that's the. That's the head and center approach where you take out your rival or the Schumacher or whomever.
• 6:31
  Speaker D: Yeah, that might, that might be what Lando has to do at the first corner in Qatar. I don't know.
• 6:37
  Speaker A: Yeah, but I mean. Yeah, but Verstappen like a perfect weekend for him. And then all these races, everything's just falling his way. He's now tied in the overall championship with Oscar. You gotta think if anybody's. I mean, Lando's still the favorite to win the championship, but if anybody's second favorite, it's Max. Right. He's picking up more points every race from Oscar.
• 7:00
  Speaker D: Yeah. I mean, there's two races to go now, and it's 24 points in it. So Max and Oscar are 24 points. The tied on points, 24 behind Lando is anyone's. I mean, if, I mean, what. What would it have been? It would have been like, was it 40, 30, 43 or something points? It was something, but with two races left. Okay. One of. One of them's a sprint weekend, so there's more points on offering Qatar, but with a 40 something point lead. You got one hand on the trophy at that point. So, yeah, it's a huge blow to Lando's championship chances. I mean, he's still Obviously, the favorite, he's a full race distance ahead, but something happens in Qatar.
• 7:41
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker D: Abu Dhabi is going to be super exciting.
• 7:45
  Speaker A: Yeah. Imagine. Imagine. I saw something. It said, imagine Lando's engine didn't blow up in the Netherlands and he won that race. He would have. He would have. And he would have been celebrating winning the championship in Vegas, only to be disqualified, like, a few hours later. That would have been messy, wouldn't it?
• 8:06
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 8:09
  Speaker A: But luckily we didn't. Luckily he didn't have to go through that disaster.
• 8:15
  Speaker B: No. Yeah. I didn't see what the odds were before this race, but Max is down to plus 225 to win the championship, which probably before the race was way larger odds.
• 8:31
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 8:32
  Speaker D: Man, I wish I'd have put some money on it immediately after the race, before the disqualifications came through. You could have got some massive odds on that. But he's still obviously got to close it out over the next two race weekends.
• 8:43
  Speaker B: Yeah. I said Max was going to win six races ago.
• 8:49
  Speaker A: Yeah. But we dismissed that as just your.
• 8:52
  Speaker D: You know, we just thought that was bluff and bravado.
• 8:55
  Speaker A: Yes. You're overly negative. Nothing good ever happens to me.
• 8:59
  Speaker D: We can't have nice things.
• 9:02
  Speaker A: We're trying to comfort you. Like, don't worry about it, Jason. There's just no way. And now we're all like, oh, there's a way. There's definitely a way.
• 9:10
  Speaker B: There's definitely a way.
• 9:12
  Speaker D: But really, seriously, guys, if Max was to win the championship this year, Holy moly. That would just be the comeback of all comebacks in terms of insane. Just. I don't know how far behind was he in, say, Zanvoor. I don't know what the peak of the. Of the gap was.
• 9:27
  Speaker A: Close to 100 points or something, I think.
• 9:29
  Speaker D: I mean, crazy.
• 9:31
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 9:31
  Speaker D: I mean, he's still obviously got a lot to do, and I'm kind of. I'm kind of hoping that it does go down to Abu Dhabi, you know? So obviously Lando. If Lando finishes ahead of either of them, either Lando or Oscar. Sorry, either Max or Oscar, that will put that driver out of the title going into Abu Dhabi. But if it's. If Max wins and Oscar's second and Lando's third or. I mean, Oscar. I mean, Oscar is. Qatar has been good to him in the past. Very fast corners, which is basically where Oscar excels. Right. He holds on through the fastest corners. If he doesn't win in Qatar, people will start talking about, has he. You know, has something gone wrong with him? Because that's the Piastri of all circuits.
• 10:25
  Speaker A: Right.
• 10:26
  Speaker D: He's had a really rough form, run of form because of track conditions and all that sort of stuff. But there's always been. Well, these aren't really Oscar tracks. Well, Qatar is an Oscar track. He has to win. He has to win in Qatar to prove everyone wrong about the way that his season's gone in the last few weeks.
• 10:48
  Speaker B: And it's a sprint race, too, so, I mean, the points are even bigger. I mean. Oh, God.
• 10:57
  Speaker A: He'S in pain, ladies and gentlemen. Jason is in serious pain. He just can't even. He doesn't want to think about it because every time he thinks about it, it. He's like, Max is going to score more points than both the McLarens in the next race because that's what he's just been doing race after race. He is the best five races in a row.
• 11:15
  Speaker B: Five, Six races in a row where he's.
• 11:19
  Speaker A: Lando won. Lando won the previous race, didn't he? In.
• 11:23
  Speaker B: That's right.
• 11:26
  Speaker A: You've forgotten about all the good and you're just focusing on the bad.
• 11:29
  Speaker B: I mean, it's just been so bad for so long.
• 11:31
  Speaker D: It feels like that.
• 11:35
  Speaker A: But, yeah, it's way closer than it should be. And it just goes to show that, yeah, anything can happen, right? Just a mistake, a crash. I mean, Piastri had big contacts at the first corner, too, right. He hit Liam Lawson again.
• 11:51
  Speaker B: Another Liam Lawson hit him.
• 11:54
  Speaker D: I would say he did. I mean, it was. But it wasn't as bad as Gabriel Bortoletto. No, that's like when you're playing on the PlayStation and you just go barreling.
• 12:05
  Speaker A: Up, mash your way through.
• 12:07
  Speaker D: But all the cars were stopping and he just kept going. It's like food. He just speared Lance Stroll.
• 12:14
  Speaker A: Stroll, didn't he? Yeah.
• 12:17
  Speaker D: Maybe he had a bet on that Lance Stroll wouldn't finish the race and just like, straight at him.
• 12:22
  Speaker A: So Bortoletto and Stroll were both out, right? Lawson got a puncture and I think Gasly spun as well. All at the first corner. It was a bit of a mess.
• 12:32
  Speaker B: Yeah. And then we saw the marshals almost get hit when they came around after the first lap and there were like 20 marshals on the track.
• 12:40
  Speaker A: Didn't we just have this with Lawson in Mexico?
• 12:43
  Speaker D: It was slightly different, though, in Mexico. They weren't supposed to be there and they were actually on the track. I mean, here it's like, yeah, they should have gotten out the way a little sooner, but it was race, you know, the race director put them there and then was taking them off. And I don't know, it's like how far away were the cars really?
• 13:00
  Speaker A: You mean? It's like a bit of an optical.
• 13:01
  Speaker D: Illusion, camera angle and all of that. I mean they were well into the runoff. I mean not having said that, you know, there was contact on the first lap so someone could have had a failure going down that, that pit straight and go straight on and it could have been nasty. But I think that maybe the camera angle.
• 13:20
  Speaker B: Was.
• 13:21
  Speaker D: Made it look worse than it was. But it still doesn't negate the fact that the Marshall should have been out of there like 10, 20 seconds earlier.
• 13:28
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 13:29
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 13:30
  Speaker B: Well, I mean after all of that, at least for me, doom and gloom. One bright spot. Of course, Kimmy had an unbelievable race and I think he should. I mean not that driver of the day means anything but from he started where P17 and getting.
• 13:48
  Speaker D: Yeah, he pitted under VSC I think. Right.
• 13:51
  Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
• 13:54
  Speaker D: But, but, but my favorite stat about Kimmy in this race is that he finished 3rd, 4th and 5th in the same race because he was 4th across the line. He got promoted to 5th because of the penalty and with the two DSQs he got bumped up to 3rd. So he finished third, fourth and fifth in this race.
• 14:14
  Speaker A: I always feel, feel bad for that odd man out who gets promoted to third after the race and doesn't get to go on the podium.
• 14:20
  Speaker D: On the podium.
• 14:21
  Speaker A: Yeah. And he got. And he had a five second penalty for the false start as well.
• 14:28
  Speaker D: Oh, that false start. I've watched that so many times. It was the tiniest of roles. You had to look at his left wing mirror relative to the line on the track and you just see it was the tiniest. It's like, oh man, that was. That's a tough break.
• 14:45
  Speaker A: Don't. Yeah, don't do it. But yeah, I mean, who knows? But no, an amazing drive by Kimmy.
• 14:52
  Speaker D: Oh yeah. He's really come into his own. The last, this last few races Kimmy's gotten much more comfortable in his own skin in the car. I don't know what it is, but it seems like he's actually now becoming the driver that it's taken a while to be. But at the end of the day.
• 15:07
  Speaker A: He'S so young you assume he's going to get better. Right. He's just going to improve.
• 15:12
  Speaker B: So one would assume. Right.
• 15:14
  Speaker A: And, and Russell, I mean again just end up second. I suppose after all of that just drove a Russell race, although he was much more visible because of Constantly complaining about steering issues. Right. I don't know what he.
• 15:29
  Speaker D: Yeah. Did anyone get to the bottom of that?
• 15:32
  Speaker A: Just complaining that it was. Wasn't going where he was pointing, I suppose, or he was correcting for something. I'm not sure what he did.
• 15:38
  Speaker D: And he finished on the podium, so that's nice.
• 15:40
  Speaker A: Exactly. But I mean, he couldn't really challenge Verstappen in in the end, you know, when he was behind him and then obviously Norris took him and he ended up back second after the disqualification. But yeah, solid race for the Mercedes, really. Yeah. I mean, second and third is great.
• 15:59
  Speaker B: Kimmy at the end of the race. I'm sure, Martin, you weren't thrilled about it, but, I mean, he was so fast at the end there. It looked like Charles was going to have that spot after the penalty, but Kimmy was just going so fast. He was able to stay ahead of him on 50.
• 16:14
  Speaker D: How many laps were in this race? But his tires were so old. But he went through the grading. He went through it and then the tire seemingly just hung on and yeah, it was great.
• 16:25
  Speaker A: I think that he would be massively slow at the end, but he just wasn't. He was putting in fastest laps, I think, at one point. So it was close to the end of the race on these tires. That was so old. But, yeah, I mean, the Ferraris just struggled. I mean, they didn't get anything going obviously in qualifying. I mean, what. Hamilton was P20, right. And that was just on. That was the best he could do. It wasn't like he had a problem.
• 16:51
  Speaker D: He got caught out in on the last lap, maybe by the yellow flags or something, but he legitimately, I think for the first time in his career, was last on the grid. Just based on pace.
• 17:02
  Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, I mean, but I mean, he recovered ultimately all the way to P8 with disqualifications, of course, which helps. And retirements. But, yeah, it's not, not, not a weekend to remember for Ferrari. Even though, you know, LeClaire finished fourth overall, I guess, at the end of the day.
• 17:24
  Speaker B: But, I mean, Charles looked fast. I mean, in the end, with Oscar being stuck behind Kimmy that whole time, he wasn't able to move any further ahead. But there were points in that race where Charles looked really good.
• 17:39
  Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah. I mean, Charles is outperforming Lewis massively now. It's not even close.
• 17:45
  Speaker D: Like, it's like Lewis has just given up on the season. He's like, yeah, I'm just gonna drive around and.
• 17:49
  Speaker A: But there's no guarantee that it's just Gonna be any better next season Lewis like I mean I don't know it's.
• 17:55
  Speaker D: A completely different law set so you don't know but I mean if the car turns out to be a box of, you know, whatever will he see the season out? Will he go no, screw it, this isn't going to happen. I'm done. I'm forgetting.
• 18:11
  Speaker A: I don't know, maybe, maybe let Ali.
• 18:13
  Speaker B: Bearman have the seat. Just get out of there and move or is Carlos coming back?
• 18:20
  Speaker D: Carlos had a great race, qualified third he went backwards in a bit of a hurry he finished what, seventh on the road but ultimately promoted up to fifth which kind of flatters his race. I don't know quite what happened there but it was know he just didn't have the pace and the dry that he had in the wet yeah pole was not beyond him actually in the wet but he was always going to go backwards in the race.
• 18:46
  Speaker A: And yeah Albon just, I mean he ended up colliding both with Bortoletto and Hamilton during the race I think and ended up not just dnfing Right yeah after, after.
• 18:58
  Speaker D: A shunt in qualifying as well that meant that he didn't get out of.
• 19:01
  Speaker A: Queue one yeah, yeah he was in yeah he was out yeah he hit the wall in turn 16 he was.
• 19:06
  Speaker D: Out in Q1 yeah I mean it was like the last proper corner Although the last corner when it's wet is actually a corner not when it's dry but by the way you turn left by the Cosmopolitan and then there's like a little kink he just lost traction and the back stepped out and then he just speared straight into the wall but managed to get it back but that was, you know that kind of ruined his weekend because the Williams was in the wet especially were looking really good but you know went backwards in the dry.
• 19:34
  Speaker B: Yeah but he also didn't have any radio during the race his radio wasn't working, he couldn't.
• 19:40
  Speaker A: There was a shot of him pulling into the pits and he's shouting change the front wing or like fix the front wing and they didn't even know it was broken which is weird you think they would see.
• 19:51
  Speaker D: Yeah you think they threw it on the telemetry wouldn't you?
• 19:54
  Speaker A: Somebody might point it out but yeah that's, that's got to be strange but yeah he's not getting much luck recently Albon.
• 20:05
  Speaker D: No no it mean, I mean he's still well clear of the next person in the championship behind him but it's definitely the first half of the season was very much his half of the season. And then obviously after, you know, with Baku and then since Baku, Carlos has really hit his stride in the car and he's performed really, really well. Hopefully next year they've got a good car and they both are in a comfortable spot because, you know, that's a great lineup that they have there at Williams. I think they've gone, you know, if you look all the way through for a team like Williams, who've been bad for so long, to have a driver lineup like that is. It's a real coup. You know, you look at any other team would, would be happy with that lineup. Maybe outside of McLaren and, and Ferrari.
• 20:59
  Speaker B: Yeah, I mean that's a team that's been for a long time. The, the, the like baby team to Mercedes.
• 21:06
  Speaker D: Right.
• 21:06
  Speaker B: So to like you said, to have drivers like that, I mean, it's amazing. And I guess, I mean the Aston's from where they qualified. Obviously we talked about Lance crashing out on lap one, but Fernando is kind of non existent during that race too.
• 21:25
  Speaker D: That car's just kind of. They've just stopped doing anything to it. It's like they're fully focused on next year at Aston Martin and they're just kind of riding it out here, I think, which is, you know, when you get a change in rules, cycles, obviously it's going to be exciting to see what the cars do next year, what they like and what the problems are and all of that. But it just means that once you get to a point in the season before like this, you get cars that you could tell that they've just totally switched off, which is annoying. You want to see people, you want to see teams constantly battling, trying to get better and have unexpected results. I mean, obviously Gasly has had a great few races. I don't know where he finished. He's always liked Vegas. He did get spun out at the start, which obviously put him way back. But he qualified well up there, like what, six or so.
• 22:14
  Speaker A: It ruined his. Yeah, that, that ruined his race. No, he qualified P10, but then after he spun with the bortolerto incident, I think he finished P13. He wasn't, he wasn't happy at the end of the race. He said something about just a long, a long flight just to end up spun around. You know, a lot of. Some of the drivers apparently were complaining about this, this Vegas Grand Prix and the timing of it and the location and the surface.
• 22:40
  Speaker D: Right. It's just so low grip.
• 22:42
  Speaker A: There's just not a lot to like about the, the Grand Prix from the driver's perspectives, apparently, I guess the shine is worn off of it actually being in Vegas now and.
• 22:50
  Speaker D: Yeah, I mean, Vegas this. The reason it's in Vegas this weekend, because it's the quietest week in Vegas the weekend before Thanksgiving. Right. So I get why they kind of wanted to do something then, but now it's proved that, like, Vegas and F1 go together quite. Weather go together quite well. Sorry. It doesn't need to be this week now.
• 23:11
  Speaker A: Right.
• 23:11
  Speaker D: They're looking. It's like, who needs who more?
• 23:15
  Speaker B: Right.
• 23:16
  Speaker D: Move it to another time. But to have it on to go from Brazil last weekend to Vegas this weekend to Qatar next weekend.
• 23:28
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 23:28
  Speaker D: Or to go. No, it's. They had a week off, didn't they? So they went from Brazil, they went back to Europe, had a week off, and then they come all the way back over here to race in Vegas, to then get on a flight to Qatar to race this coming weekend and then in Abu Dhabi. It's like, if you're going to back, why does it need to be a triple header just back to back it with Brazil? I don't know. It's just.
• 23:51
  Speaker A: Yeah, Mexico, Brazil, Vegas would make more sense. Although Brazil's way down there. I mean, it's not that close.
• 23:56
  Speaker D: Is it closer than Qatar?
• 23:59
  Speaker A: Yeah, that's true. That's true.
• 24:01
  Speaker B: And Europe for that matter. I mean, having to go back to Europe and then back out here and then back to the Middle east, it's crazy. Well, I think we, we touched on, you know, most of the, most of the highlights from the race. I guess that brings us to coops. But Martin, before you talk on coops, I got to give you your props. You were the biggest mover on the day.
• 24:27
  Speaker A: I was the biggest mover and for a hot minute, I was the top scorer because I'd put the result in wrong. I gave George Russell the fastest lap, which I had picked, so I had top score. But when I ultimately fixed it, I think I dropped down to sixth overall on the top scores. But yes, up 28th places. Thank you. Pablos and Zurdo W0W got the top score with just 190 points. I mean, points hard to come by when two, two drivers that most people have picked are knocked out of the top 10. And the undercut zone mark got fifth. High score, 183 points.
• 25:12
  Speaker B: Nice.
• 25:13
