• 0:00
  At least up let's go
• 0:13
  Yo welcome back to banter with the boys fast laps where we got the azure by John
• 0:18
  Recap azure by John did I say it right I mess it up. I mess it up another horrible intro two weeks in a row
• 0:24
  But we also have the Singapore preview got that one so
• 0:27
  Anyway, let's kick it off obviously. I'm smelty your host one of your hosts here or co-host Joe right next to me Joe
• 0:34
  What's going on nothing much? It was fun race to watch really looking forward to Singapore as well
• 0:39
  Kind of sad that we're not going to be back for a couple of weeks, but um
• 0:43
  These these these two races should be pretty fun, so yeah absolutely and one of them
• 0:47
  We know for a fact was fun, but Cole how's your week been good? I?
• 0:52
  Talked a lot of trash on Verstappen
• 0:54
  So and then I put him in my podiums that's us that just karma right there
• 1:01
  It is a we spent beautiful man. It's been beautiful out here. It's not raining right now
• 1:04
  No, no, and I mean being in a beautiful beautiful sunny
• 1:09
  Beautiful sunny sandy Dubai. It's a great week. You know
• 1:14
  fair enough
• 1:15
  What you were in Dubai now? I'm saying we are right now, bro. Thanks, okay? Oh, yeah
• 1:21
  Yeah, that's right. I forgot. That's our room Davenport, Ohio
• 1:30
  But and obviously last but not least don't forget kev behind the scenes here doing everything for us
• 1:36
  Let's head right in to our
• 1:38
  Azerbaijan recap my saying that as our by John as our by just to keep those in Bacchus
• 1:44
  I'm gonna get it by like 2026 for the new rig. Okay. I'm gonna get it anyway
• 1:52
  We actually had some stuff transpire a little bit more stuff transpire before the Grand Prix even this week
• 2:00
  Hamilton
• 2:01
  Having to start from the pits because of an engine swap. Oh, yeah engine parts
• 2:06
  So obviously I think he swapped out a lot of stuff. Okay enough that they're like you got start
• 2:10
  Oh, yeah, what is that threshold? Do you know off the top your head?
• 2:13
  I think how much
• 2:15
  Things or stuff I guess parts that was better how many how many how much parts how many parts?
• 2:22
  Can you take off or replace on the car before it's like you have to start from the pits or from the back?
• 2:29
  I mean it depends on the part and I think each part has like a certain allocation to it
• 2:35
  This is like F1 game knowledge. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, and when you change the part, yeah, and I think what is well like once you hit?
• 2:43
  Yeah, it might not it might not but I know yeah, but there is allocations
• 2:46
  I think per part and I think there are different like penalties you can get depending on the part you pick
• 2:51
  Sure, five to ten and then pit lane. I believe it just depends on how many accolades you have you can put
• 2:56
  In development another guy starting from the back not from the pits
• 3:04
  But he started from the back gasly also starting from the back due to a fuel error
• 3:09
  You're saying before we started that they lie
• 3:11
  They were saying that it was that they lied about some like their fuel usage or something like that
• 3:16
  I just assume it was so there's something wrong with the car and they didn't maybe the team just did something wrong
• 3:21
  Okay, like it was a mistake. I don't know. I didn't look into it
• 3:24
  I was about to ask a really dumb question like fuel you should so how much fuel they use like yeah good job
• 3:29
  All right. Anyway moving on Oh Khan also starting from pit lane for also changing parts. Oh well
• 3:35
  Alpine me and Alpine. Yeah. Yeah
• 3:38
  Let's see
• 3:39
  Max came out and said that some of the changes made heading into qualifying actually made the car worse
• 3:46
  Which is crazy because we actually saw a check. Oh perform better than max. So
• 3:50
  again, is it
• 3:52
  Do they make changes to each car individually every week you think or is there some upgrades that they would bring that would be both cars?
• 3:59
  I know we've talked about this slightly before but I can't remember if we talked about if they would ever bring upgrades to both cars
• 4:05
  Or it's one this week and then next week the other one gets the same upgrade that the one got the week before like
• 4:09
  I mean, I guess it depends on the channel the specifics beyond the change
• 4:13
  I guess it depends on the change sure but it makes me think it's so close before qualifying this probably just max this car
• 4:19
  Probably yeah, I it is it's definitely just dependent on change because I know we had a weekend
• 4:24
  Worm like Lando had an upgrade and then the next weekend, but I think last race both
• 4:30
  Red Bulls had that wing change. Oh, yeah
• 4:33
  So it just depends on I think how quickly they can make to I think fair enough
• 4:38
  Got a whole week. Yeah, how much we do a week buddy? Yeah. Yeah, I mean that's true, but I think
• 4:44
  All of our annual salaries combined probably cost one of those parts. Yeah for sure
• 4:51
  including the people paying the people that made them but it depends like
• 4:56
  It wasn't an upgrade though, right? It was just like a change
• 4:58
  Yeah, I don't he didn't go into any like specifics that I could find anyway about what the change was
• 5:04
  Because you wonder if it's something that like they expect to what does he classify as a change?
• 5:08
  I went lower one PSI on my front right tire. Yeah, that's a change, right?
• 5:12
  but like so so is it something you think where maybe
• 5:17
  It can't be like that big of a change
• 5:19
  I don't know it just like to me
• 5:20
  I'm thinking if they if they want to do a last second change that may help performance
• 5:24
  They put that on check those car to see if it really matters and stick max with something that counts, right?
• 5:29
  I like that idea, you know keep my
• 5:32
  Change right?
• 5:34
  Max just you know, like I'm a little off this week and I gotta find something somewhere to and max fans are gonna hate this
• 5:41
  But I gotta find something somewhere to like blame it somewhere else instead of me. Just having an off week
• 5:45
  He's the king of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
• 5:48
  Did you find something? Oh, just I just it was like subtle floor upgrades is what I'm reading
• 5:53
  So underbody stuff, but like I mean max has been complaining about that car
• 5:57
  Like forever so I feel like if there were changes coming you think maybe they give him the changes, right?
• 6:04
  Right, so maybe they did maybe they'll revert, you know
• 6:08
  I mean
• 6:10
  We'll talk about him check. Oh, yeah did like he worked this weekend. He had a great race until he did it
• 6:16
  And then Lando out in q1 after having to slow down for a yellow flag on his final flying lap
• 6:22
  I didn't see that. Did you actually catch that either you how he had to slow down for the LFA you did
• 6:28
  Was it I believe it was Ocon
• 6:30
  I think he hit the wall and had to slow down and then the yellow flag went through the whole sector and so he just
• 6:35
  Had to just have to stop. He had to stop his laughs. He did everything right
• 6:38
  Unfortunately, I was like thinking about it. I think with
• 6:43
  If he were to not slow down
• 6:44
  I think the penalty he got may have only get got him a few more places
• 6:49
  Maybe so like he would have went from like 15th to 12th or something like that
• 6:53
  Which maybe have caused a difference but and you got a penalty on your grand scheme of things on he did the right thing
• 6:58
  It just sucks the way he raised. I think it would have made a difference. But yeah
• 7:02
  Also a great race at the same time
• 7:04
  It's kind of funny cuz he was one of like I think he was one of the first five cars to try to finish
• 7:08
  And typically guys go out there early because I don't want to run to penalty
• 7:14
  That sucks that is a nightmare
• 7:16
  They should let somebody like that do another lap or something make it like make an amendment to the rules or like or just clear
• 7:22
  All times everybody do one lap. I
• 7:24
  Mean something that's ridiculous. I don't hate that one car. So he's a car
• 7:29
  That's just sol because of the timing that's soda
• 7:35
  Is it just as dumb if it was both house that missed out on it? Yes, it's still it's still it doesn't make sure
• 7:40
  What yeah, but what if both houses on pace for whatever right right? No, I agree 100% especially in a car like that
• 7:46
  What if it's different to him doing 18th and 12th? Right? No for sure. No, I like the idea. I like the idea
• 7:54
  We'll see we'll see it's FIA. So they probably won't do anything
• 7:57
  They listen to well, they're they're they're return listeners every week. They're actually here. Hey, they're here live right now
• 8:08
  That's right live from the desert
• 8:12
  Let's see, did you also see that in q3 there was a fan left on the album
• 8:20
  How does that even happen I didn't see the video but I saw still of it and I'm like, oh my god the guy
• 8:25
  Who's supposed to take it off? He was just late like he was he had his hands on the fan
• 8:31
  It's just they released him they released albon before he was able to get it on hooked and then off the car
• 8:37
  So he was like his hands are on the fan as it was moving out of the garage
• 8:41
  You see that there's just a chunk of dry. Yeah
• 8:47
  My god, so yeah, anyway some activities little
• 8:50
  Pre GP activities there that we wanted to discuss right off the bat. What one stuff happens pre GP?
• 8:56
  It's rare that that much happens. Yeah, I mean there's little things here and there but nothing worth mentioning and that just seemed like a plethora so
• 9:03
  Oscar though getting the win the true win. I'm not discrediting his other win
• 9:08
  I feel like this one feels a little bit different to him. We'll get into that
• 9:12
  Charles finishing second after giving a solid late charge and then just falling off there
• 9:17
  Followed by George Russell Lando Norris also with the fastest lap coming in fourth and then max for
• 9:22
  Stappen of all people finishing fifth followed by Alonzo Albon
• 9:27
  Colapinto
• 9:29
  Lewis and Beerman hit in tenth so let's talk about McLaren first obviously I
• 9:37
  Mean I didn't see Oscar winning the race. I saw him up there. I can't even remember if I chose him in my podium
• 9:43
  God he just had great pace and it was it wasn't just the GP had pretty decent pace all weekend
• 9:47
  So did Lando, but Oscar did feel a little bit quicker
• 9:51
  And then he just proved it in the GP
• 9:54
  There's just nobody better at dive bombing corners
• 10:01
  This year there's nobody better somebody dive bombing corners did it back-to-back weeks
• 10:04
  Right. Yeah, nothing. They just it kind of reminds me of Matt
• 10:09
  Yeah, nothing. They just it kind of reminds me of max with when Ricardo was there
• 10:14
  He's definitely he's like that would be hitting the corner. He's like that. That's that's why people like Lando more sure sure right?
• 10:20
  Because realistically if you put them both out on a lap Lando's gonna win nine times out of ten sure
• 10:25
  I'm just a fast lap right, but like the way he races like the style. He has is dope
• 10:31
  And speaking about McLaren there is nothing cooler than seeing like Lando stop in Checo
• 10:37
  Stop in Checo mm-hmm that was dope checkers like her land is like how long do you need him stop for he goes?
• 10:44
  One two laps this lap and then he slowed him down for like a second and a half. Yeah, that's all yeah
• 10:49
  Talk about different race
• 10:51
  Actually working as a team. Yeah, seeing it seeing it at its fullest extent so cool to see
• 10:57
  But what I what I liked about Oscar is the closing laps the last 10 15 laps or he literally had to fight off
• 11:04
  Charles and Charles was
• 11:05
  Give given him a lot actually it seemed like Charles was seriously giving him a lot to work with and
• 11:11
  Both untired tires right but Oscar just showing his skill
• 11:15
  I just loved it man you you wonder with the driver like that again comparing them to max I guess with his style
• 11:21
  Younger man how much yeah, how much you want how much?
• 11:26
  How much Charles really wants to dive bomb a corner against that guy because he probably both into a wall
• 11:31
  He'll be both in the wall, and that's probably and I think that's it's gotta be the back of your head
• 11:35
  Like he was close enough. We saw the time yeah
• 11:37
  He was close enough a couple times to make that to try to go for it
• 11:42
  He was like I need to be a lot
• 11:43
  I need to he wanted to basically pass him in the straight not in the corner
• 11:46
  And that's and that's I think the veteran mentality of of Charles at this point how long has he been in f1 at this point?
• 11:52
  He's what is he 26 ish five somewhere like yeah
• 11:55
  I feel like longer is it I feel like it's even longer than that like it just feels like he's
• 11:59
  He's been in these races
• 12:01
  He knows when he actually has an opportunity and maybe taking into account. You know what Oscar's gonna do about it
• 12:07
  Mm-hmm. He's just not gonna let you buy so it's either at that moment for this race anyway
• 12:12
  It was probably that it's either
• 12:14
  I try to pass him and probably end up in the wall and DNF or I take second
• 12:19
  But the other if I get my opportunity I could you know whoops if I get my opportunity
• 12:23
  You know on the straight maybe he takes it, but but you gotta think the other side of that would be he's taken
• 12:29
  He he's pulled the last three years
• 12:32
  Hasn't won here. Here's an opportunity dive bomb. What do you have to lose if you're in a Ferrari right now?
• 12:37
  You have third locked up
• 12:39
  You may be able to catch a red bull does he really does Charles really care about the drivers at this point
• 12:47
  Drivers no yeah, I'm thinking like they like I'm talking more the contenders
• 12:51
  The constructors no no no I know I know I'm just saying do you think he cares about drivers at all or no no
• 12:56
  So you're just saying from constructor standpoint what it what what do they have to lose? Yeah?
• 13:00
  They're locked in at their place obviously they still have a chance to catch red bull. I think I think that's still definitely a possibility
• 13:06
  I mean right now. They're very close
• 13:08
  They're like 40 points or whatever but with that being said like I
• 13:12
  Mean if you this race you're racing good last couple races look good to send it yeah
• 13:16
  I wish I wish he at least once and not even once so the amount of times how close he was
• 13:22
  Going into the final turn
• 13:24
  He had like three or four times where he was within point six of
• 13:29
  Yes, oh, yeah, he was dumb and close with DRS
• 13:31
  Yeah, that gets him up real close to be able to dive on that who wants to you got at least try one of them
• 13:36
  Even if you back out you like I don't have an advantage
• 13:38
  You got a really never really gave it that solid tried zero. Yeah, he just behind right there the whole time
• 13:45
  But yeah, yeah, he never really tried one try
• 13:49
  But but it's a safe play a racer. That's not gonna do that. It's not gonna win
• 13:53
  WDC yes, I can win WDC you have to be able to take this point. That's a good point. I think those risks hmm
• 13:59
  Not to be the McLaren fanboy. I just have to give Oscar his credit. Yeah
• 14:05
  You're right Charles did not do what Oscar did he did not make that late lunge
• 14:09
  I mean Charles said in the in the cool down room like I wasn't sure you're gonna make the breaking point when you did that
• 14:13
  Yeah, so he would Charles definitely had like he wanted to keep his his car out of the wall a track where he's put his car
• 14:19
  in the wall before
• 14:20
  So but at the same time Oscar there were a few moments when they got really close in that straight and Oscar just kind of defended
• 14:26
  A little bit like a little bit too much. We saw him coming into that long first straight
• 14:31
  He was driving in the dirt like literally dirty track to make sure he got he was covered
• 14:36
  He covered off Charles because the straight I think McLaren had them all day even with DRS. They had him pretty pretty well
• 14:43
  But mid mid section Charles was gaining on him all the time so
• 14:47
  Big kudos to Oscar. I mean I've said it before Oscars at WDC in the making man sure I just percent what a battle
• 14:53
  Yeah, like that was a great way to end the race. I felt the same way. Yeah, I felt the same way
• 14:59
  I felt in Miami um to like during that bulk race where I just felt sick like for the last 30 laps of the
• 15:05
  Yeah, sure watching it happen. I honestly didn't care who won I could have done Oscar or Charles
• 15:10
  But it was just it was just like they were so close the whole time the whole time. It was so cool
• 15:15
  It was just a great younger battle. Yeah, you know what I mean?
• 15:18
  It's not it wasn't you know what we're so used to the Max Lewis now became the Max Lando or whatever
• 15:24
  It may be it's just fun to see something different. You know and
• 15:28
  Yeah, oh, yeah for sure and before we move on from McLaren. Let's talk about Lando. Yeah, I mean fastest lap climbing from 15th
• 15:36
  Now that you say you know, you know finishing p4 with a wreck, but finishing p4. I mean
• 15:42
  Maybe that maybe starting 15th didn't matter this race. You know what I mean?
• 15:46
  I still think he wouldn't have won the race over Oscar
• 15:50
  I just think Oscar was that much faster than Lando even though Lando got fastest lap
• 15:54
  But like I just felt like Oscar's pace was that much quicker than Lando if what?
• 15:58
  If he would have started not in 15th like up further not gotten the grid. Oh, I mean I
• 16:04
  Couldn't imagine if dolphins could you know breathe there if they could fly like what are we talking about here?
• 16:08
  Well, where's Lando finish then if he doesn't get the grid penalty for you if he qualifies where p1 first no
• 16:14
  No, where was he? Didn't you say he was 12th before grid penalty?
• 16:17
  No, he was saying that if he just kept going through the grid penalty if he if he if he like
• 16:22
  Yeah, if he finished his lap with grid penalty, he probably maybe he would have come out p12. Maybe
• 16:28
  There's still a chance that he would have been lower because of the pressure
• 16:30
  I just we just don't know how fast that lap would have been. Yeah, we have a lot of
• 16:34
  To tell where he could have been his first lap was like early so it was before track
• 16:40
  You know it was before I mean it was 15th, right? So yeah, he didn't get a really good good lap in
• 16:44
  But still finishing p4. I mean getting in points is probably expected at least from p from 15th to Lando
• 16:50
  But finishing p4. I mean, I think if he qualifies within the top five
• 16:55
  He's definitely fighting for the win 100% and if it's between him and Oscar
• 16:59
  I think McLaren's given it to him now like they said they said going forward. They're going to prioritize Lando so
• 17:05
  Um, right, which is the right move, right? It sucks to hear Oscar, but it's good to hear that Oscar's like yep
• 17:10
  You know what that makes sense? Um
• 17:13
  And what better reassurance and him? Yes stuffing checko. Yes. Oh for sure
• 17:17
  Now you want that kind of play for you in the future. Oh, he's going to the wall. Okay. Yeah, right
• 17:22
  Yeah, right. No doubt, but I mean mega recovery from Lando, right mega. He he got past Verstappen and Perez both
• 17:30
  No, not Perez Perez crash. He got past Verstappen, which was so fun to see like he was like new mediums
• 17:36
  He didn't really have a chance on him. It didn't seem like he didn't really put up a fight on him
• 17:40
  He was like what 12 or 14 seconds behind max? He caught him and he was like, oh my gosh
• 17:46
  He caught him and then overtook him like within 10 laps. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah
• 17:54
  Let's talk about P2 Charles. We already kind of mentioned P2 actually not a ton left to talk about Charles great drive though
• 18:00
  It's good to see Charles. I mean Ferrari as a whole getting more consistent, but it's great to see Charles
• 18:05
  For me anyway kind of where he belongs. He belongs in the top three top five
• 18:09
  He's a great driver. He's a great driver. He's a great driver. He's a great driver
• 18:12
  anyway, kind of where he belongs he belongs in the top three top five at the at the at the
• 18:18
  Most least I don't know but like he belongs top five or better straight up
• 18:22
  I think Charles's top five driver on the grid. It's just
• 18:26
  I don't know if the car just wasn't good enough
• 18:28
  They didn't have any pace the beginning of the season, but it's just it's just great to see him
• 18:32
  Being more consistent. I don't know and a chance at the win
• 18:35
  He had a chance and like you said maybe he needs to take that chance
• 18:38
  Next time I mean all props at this point you got what would we have eight races seven races left seven seven
• 18:45
  I think it's seven
• 18:46
  Um left in the season that if he's put in that position again, I hope somebody's in his ear telling him
• 18:52
  He's got to take that opportunity. Yeah
• 18:55
  Let's talk about Ferrari's second driver and we're gonna bring up Chako here as well
• 19:00
  um
• 19:01
  That's just disappointing like I freaked out. I lost it. I already told you what I said that I can't say on air now
• 19:06
  um when it happened when I was watching it, but that
• 19:10
  You said it was check was fault. Yeah, fair. Why do you say that?
• 19:15
  um
• 19:16
  Well for starters
• 19:18
  We're talking about the big crash at the end by the way
• 19:20
  I think I think it was one of the commentators maybe that brought it up
• 19:23
  But like the clearest day point if you if you have two guys that go into a turn
• 19:28
  Right who gets the turn the guy that's in front correct
• 19:31
  Sians was in front
• 19:33
  He went to go
• 19:35
  Right and then checko came they both were trying to get the slipstream
• 19:39
  Sure science gets that if he wants it because he's in front
• 19:43
  Checko came like so science moved over a little bit and checko kept coming into him when checko had all the room
• 19:48
  Checko had a ton of room ton of room ton of room and then he just ruined both and again, right?
• 19:54
  I said if checko did top five
• 19:56
  I'll give him props. That was a good drive out of checko again. He can't put it together, right?
• 20:00
  No, you could hand the guy. Hey, you're in first. There's one lap left. He won't do it
• 20:06
  Dude was running p3 almost all day. Yeah, almost all day and he running it. Well at that
• 20:11
  He had good pace. Let me ask you something. Did you just tell us before this show?
• 20:15
  That matt ryan had a good game last night that matt ryan. Oh kirk cousins. Her cousins had a good game last night
• 20:20
  Sorry, yeah, same thing. Yeah, same thing, right?
• 20:23
  Horrible game until the very end
• 20:25
  What are you gonna get known for the very end right? How do you finish it? Fair? Hey, okay
• 20:29
  Fair enough. Great point. Yeah, great point. Great point. Yeah
• 20:32
  Not not how you start how you finish and checko started great for once and yeah, that's how he usually does at the bottom
• 20:40
  At the bottom joel. What did you see in the incident? Yeah, that is being called a racing incident. Nothing transpired from that
• 20:48
  I do think it was a racing incident if blame had to be put on someone i'm putting it on checko because he did have
• 20:53
  a lot of room
• 20:55
  Neither of them I watched that replay so many times neither of them turned into each other
• 20:58
  they just both like
• 21:00
  signs was staying on his line the line that gets him to his breaking point and checko was also
• 21:06
  On the line just at a different inward trajectory towards them. So i was being aggressive. They were i mean, yeah, he's being aggressive
• 21:12
  Um in a sloppy way, you're right signs had the lead checko needed to give him the room
• 21:16
  And yeah, that just didn't happen. They wheel locked but it's all the time. So so we're talking about charles
• 21:22
  We want charles to you know pressure oscar a little bit more at the end of the race there
• 21:26
  Is that not the same thing for checko? So here's why it's not when piastri dive bomb that corner
• 21:31
  He took the corner. I love dive bomb by the way. Yeah, because that's exactly what it is, but he took so here
• 21:37
  Here you are. Right? He took that corner
• 21:39
  Now it's his corner sure
• 21:42
  What are you talking about? I'm talking about he dies bomb that corner. I know we're talking about
• 21:46
  We're wanting charles to try to dive bomb or be more aggressive. Well, why can't we want checko to do the same thing?
• 21:52
  Sure. Sure. So if if let's say they keep going that route, right? Sure, and then
• 21:57
  If they keep going it should be charles's turn
• 22:00
  Well, if checko breaks later and they're staying on the same clean lines and checko breaks later, it's his turn. It's his corner. Yes. Yeah
• 22:07
  Right
• 22:07
  But yeah, that's more of just an example of who's lying again. It is. Yeah, I mean
• 22:12
  Checko would have had a better go at him if he if he just kind of slotted behind him
• 22:17
  Got the drs got the slipstream off the sides and then went ahead of it after the next turn the next lap
• 22:23
  Yeah, and what's interesting is that I think lap like 58 or something
• 22:28
  Charles's tires just died all of a sudden so it was a battle for a second
• 22:32
  Oscar was two two three seconds ahead. So it's just a battle for a second and I think
• 22:38
  I mean I want to say the whole reason that
• 22:41
  The whole reason that that's I mean that they got so close to each other is because perez
• 22:45
  They got so close to each other is because perez tried going for a second
• 22:49
  He tried getting through both of them. Oh, no, because it was charles then perez and then signs
• 22:55
  Perez went for the overtake on charles
• 22:58
  And charles blocked him out. He didn't let him have it
• 23:01
  And then signs was able to swoop up pick up the pieces and get pretty much right after that
• 23:05
  Yeah, and then the crash happens right shortly after that. I remember that whole sequence. I was screaming
• 23:09
  I was like standing up like yeah, I freaked out I screamed again when I was like part of me was like happy for checko
• 23:14
  I know that's blasphemy on this show, but like part of me was like happy for checko
• 23:18
  I was like dang what a what a good race like racing great. I can't believe he's gonna get p3
• 23:24
  I didn't knock on any wood. So i'm sorry checko. I guess that's my fault buddy, but
• 23:29
  uh
• 23:30
  Just disappointing disappointing for carlos too who had a great another great day incredibly
• 23:34
  I mean, it's disappointing tech tip. I would say it's disappointing for both ferraris
• 23:39
  I mean charles it's a good it's a good place to get second place, but it's not the place he wants right
• 23:44
  He qualified first if he again for the third or fourth year in a row was not able to hold it
• 23:49
  So it's a little rough for both of them
• 23:51
  Definitely more so for carlos because he didn't get to finish the race possibly in fourth after a good run. Yeah, it does
• 23:58
  Kind of suck that like nobody in the top
• 24:01
  ten even
• 24:03
  Did the right tire strategy like how much different that is if oscar or leclerc start on a hard tire?
• 24:10
  It's completely different. Mm-hmm
• 24:12
  That's true. That's true. Did everybody finish on hards?
• 24:16
  Except for lando and alban table started on hards
• 24:19
  I actually uh I kind of go here or there with that just because if if one of them were to start on hards
• 24:24
  And like let's say like first place starts on hard second starts on medium that medium is going to get away so much faster
• 24:29
  Right away, and then they lose all those places and then I have to fight for him back at the end of the race
• 24:34
  So I don't think everybody started on mediums. Yes
• 24:37
  Yes, and yeah, so i'm saying you're saying he would be starting on hard. So the specific this specific example is uh, mclaren
• 24:45
  Yeah, they were so much faster on the hard. Yeah, like if you put piastri on a hard to start the race
• 24:51
  He just he's putting up a crazy gap even if everybody else starts on a hard
• 24:54
  Yeah, he's putting up a crazy gap because how fast that car was with the heart. I see what you mean now
• 24:58
  Yeah, yeah, I just yeah, I see what you mean. You're totally right. Yeah
• 25:01
  Um, but luckily I think norris was able to prove the medium came in handy at the end of the race
• 25:06
  But you're totally right starting on hards probably would have been a little better
• 25:11
  Um, let's move on to mercedes mercedes mercedes p3 and p9
• 25:18
  Another good showing for george. I mean they can't really expect much more right now. I think for mercedes
• 25:24
  Just another race for george falls into podium. Yeah, I know I know
• 25:29
  Seriously, it's crazy
• 25:31
  But mercedes again just feels like they've plateaued. They're not really gaining any ground without the crash
• 25:37
  You know what I mean? Um
• 25:39
  He was in front of max
• 25:41
  You kind of want to like at this point. I just want to see what louis can do if he starts top five
• 25:46
  Or top six. I want to see him race with those guys
• 25:49
  I feel like the last few races we watched him start like the lat at the end the back of the pack
• 25:52
  Yeah, I just want to see him like I think that's gonna be a true testament of that car because he's racing really good in it
• 25:58
  He's climbing spots. He's doing all that. Oh, he is and I would love to see a rose climbed a bunch of spots
• 26:03
  And I would just love to see him start up in like the top five just to see what really that car has
• 26:07
  And I think right now we don't have that because like it's and this isn't even uh
• 26:11
  Like a bad luck thing because nobody has better luck than russell
• 26:15
  But just like the amount of stuff that guy deals with with his car is unbelievable. No russell russell
• 26:20
  There's always something with him. You know, it's like the tires go out like there's glass was it last week
• 26:25
  He lost his wing immediately like oh my god
• 26:30
  So I feel like if we get lewis in the top five, we'll really see what the mercedes actually has in it
• 26:36
  Sure again, I don't think they're gonna be competing. I don't think they're gonna be mcclaren or I don't think they're gonna be
• 26:42
  Winning a race right now. No, no, but I think I think they they put up more of a battle against some of those racers
• 26:46
  Like science, but you think they can still battle not fall into a podium
• 26:49
  But you do you think they can still battle for a podium spot?
• 26:52
  It there there literally if if everybody's just
• 26:56
  Everybody has a good quality. No
• 26:59
  Right now if everybody has good quality
• 27:00
  No
• 27:00
  But I mean there could be some stuff to fall into place where if it's like science and we have a flag
• 27:04
  Or like science science and third I think like hamilton has a shot
• 27:09
  Taking over science and third like that kind of a situation sure, you know
• 27:12
  It just depends on who the racers are up there drivers. Sure fair enough
• 27:15
  No, i'd also like to see at least one more time lewis up there fighting with the top dogs
• 27:21
  Yeah, I agree with that. I unfortunately think we're seeing a pattern
• 27:23
  I think the mercedes has kind of plateaued a little bit for sure and I think it might be for the rest of the year
• 27:29
  Um, I put them like probably right below red bull at the moment with then it being red bull and then ferrari and then mcclaren
• 27:37
  um
• 27:38
  I
• 27:39
  Don't know. Yeah, I think singapore's a good it's going to be a good test. It's incredibly technical
• 27:43
  So I think lewis like really shines here
• 27:45
  Um, and I think george also he I mean he almost got a podium last year and then he crashed so, you know
• 27:52
  Hopefully we'll see the mercedes do a little bit better
• 27:54
  But yeah, I just think they're in a weird spot at the moment with their car
• 27:58
  sure sure so ninth falling into points because of the crash as well, but
• 28:03
  also third falling into points, but
• 28:05
  You got some points got some points this week
• 28:07
  Uh red bull we've already touched on red bull a bunch obviously max finishing p5
• 28:11
  Not super impressed. He's complaining about the car
• 28:16
  What else? Um
• 28:19
  Chaco dnf. Yeah, we're good. We're good on red bull this week. We talk about red bull all the time
• 28:23
  I don't think we need to talk about red bull. I mean just really quick, you know while we're talking about him
• 28:28
  Like what is happening with max?
• 28:31
  Is it is it him or is it really the car? He's got his swagger back
• 28:35
  Back he's got his mojo back. I mean in a way it almost yeah, he almost doesn't have his max aura right now
• 28:41
  You know what I mean? It does feel off
• 28:44
  Uh, it's just weird you've never it's hard for me to say the car when literally
• 28:48
  Checo comes out and is running p3 the whole day granted he did
• 28:53
  Yeah granted. This is probably
• 28:55
  chaco's best track like
• 28:58
  Sure, just like you know, no hold
• 29:00
  He's really good at this track
• 29:02
  It's not that good at this track like max's max didn't make I don't think he made like any places more or less
• 29:08
  He made a single place
• 29:10
  He finished in fifth which means that if no one had crashed he would have finished seventh
• 29:15
  Which is a place behind where he started that's not max restabili. No, he looked uncomfortable the whole race
• 29:20
  It's so he really did just lethargic definitely not being as aggressive probably because yeah, I know lethargic in a car
• 29:27
  I know but just not meaning like not as aggressive
• 29:29
  You know what I mean? Like as he normally would be he's like i'm not even gonna block that same because I can't yeah
• 29:35
  Same old radio messages, you know, well his radio messages are always
• 29:40
  We could clip a whole video max radio messages
• 29:44
  Um, maybe maybe they did have like an illegal and I this is a tin foil hat moment
• 29:48
  Maybe they did have a legal car which is still not here right not here. I'll make it
• 29:51
  It'll be your next year. I'll definitely make it for next year next year. Now. We've moved on to next year
• 29:55
  Listen, you gotta take time to build these things, you know, I guess you gotta get new you sound like you sound like s and martin
• 30:01
  Maybe i'll wait for new
• 30:03
  And then i'll make it but um
• 30:05
  Yeah, I can't even remember what the point that I was going. Oh tin foil hat moment
• 30:09
  Uh, maybe they did have something illegal on the car and they had they got caught they had to fix it and now their car
• 30:14
  Is just kind of but that's just all hush hush. No, no way that stays hush
• 30:18
  Every other team wants to blow that up. He's got the dark web. He would have seen it. That's true
• 30:22
  Yeah, he's got f1 dark and hey
• 30:24
  I haven't seen it
• 30:26
  Okay
• 30:27
  I will stand back
• 30:29
  But maybe we take you more serious if you actually had the tin foil hat on okay
• 30:35
  The last thing I want to hear both your takes on this the last thing on uh red bull
• 30:40
  Here it is
• 30:41
  is this
• 30:43
  the start of the downfall of red bull over exaggeration or
• 30:48
  truth, I mean
• 30:50
  You want to go first define downfall?
• 30:52
  Like do are we seeing them?
• 30:54
  Like are we seeing teams like ferrari mcclaren starting to take dominance?
• 30:59
  Like red bull has like like so you had your
• 31:02
  So you had mercedes dominance you had your red bull dominance recently are they done now are they like are they done?
• 31:07
  They're not going to be dominant dominant team going forward going forward like into the future years as well
• 31:13
  2026 is so I just I can't next year. I definitely don't see them starting
• 31:19
  Well, actually man, maybe maybe one of the reasons why they're they're kind of falling behind is they're already prepping for next year, right?
• 31:25
  That's so hard. Yes, that's bs because you're leading in constructors and that's and max and that's in question needs it and they're not failing
• 31:33
  Man, they're not bailing max take your wdc
• 31:35
  I think so, but maybe they're just trying to fix the car instead of upgrading at this at this point, right?
• 31:40
  I just don't know. Yeah, it needs some fixing apparently according to max gotta man re-unchange
• 31:46
  Um, i'll give my take quick go
• 31:49
  Uh, go for it. They will I do not think they're gonna be as dominant as they were last year going forward
• 31:54
  I think and i'm really hoping they have at least one or two teams fighting them
• 31:58
  I still think they're gonna be fighting for podiums and wins though
• 32:01
  I don't think that's gonna change
• 32:03
  hold on
• 32:05
  He just played like uh
• 32:07
  Like uh marshawn lynch i'm here so I don't get fined type answer. We are in the desert by the way
• 32:11
  This is the local desert team marshawn lynch i'm here so I don't get fine answer, right?
• 32:15
  right, but the the question is
• 32:17
  Do we think that like a downfall as in cool? We're fighting. Hey ferrari's fighting for podiums right now. They're not going to win the wdc
• 32:25
  right
• 32:26
  Right. That's not really a doubt like that's a downfall for ferrari for the they're where they've been
• 32:31
  Mercedes their dominance red bull their dominance
• 32:35
  Is that dominance at this point? Is this the last season already? We're gonna see a dominant switch that season or this season now
• 32:41
  Yes, yes, I agree and it's gonna continue
• 32:45
  So if it's mcclaren, do you think mcclaren takes over now? No, I don't oh, yeah. No, I don't that's what I meant
• 32:50
  I don't I mean, I don't think there's gonna be I I don't think there should be any like dominant team going forward that
• 32:57
  That that that is what I that is my prediction. That's my that's what I think too
• 33:00
  I think they're gonna be all fighting each other a little bit. That was the point that I was trying to make
• 33:04
  Okay, so you think it's gonna be more so dependent on the drivers now?
• 33:08
  From 2026 or starting next year? Uh starting
• 33:12
  I mean starting right now more or less like how it is now
• 33:15
  I think I think red bull is going to get a really good head start at the start of next year
• 33:19
  But I don't think they're gonna be able to do what they did last year or at the start of this year
• 33:22
  I think they're gonna kind of level out with the rest of the field. Okay, that that is my prediction
• 33:27
  I could be wrong. I've been wrong. I know you see you see my podium predictions. It's awful. Yeah, we know buddy
• 33:33
  No, I'm just kidding
• 33:35
  No, I don't think there's any dominant team in 2025 straight up. I think I think I agree with you
• 33:41
  I think it's gonna be a battle amongst
• 33:43
  McClaren's probably gonna lead the group, but I think it's gonna be a battle between them Ferrari
• 33:47
  I do think mercedes is gonna battle and I do yes
• 33:55
  But I do think red bull is still gonna still gonna battle as well
• 33:59
  but
• 34:00
  Like 2026 again, I think that's I think that's a new opportunity for short dominance from somebody
• 34:05
  I don't know who it's gonna be. Is it gonna be asin? No, but could it be sure maybe
• 34:10
  But I think you'll see a short dominance like two years until people get their stuff together with new regs
• 34:15
  And then you're gonna see maybe a hodgepodge of teams again. I don't know. That's my tin foil hat, but
• 34:21
  Yeah, hey you asked what do you think? What is your take?
• 34:24
  Uh, I think you're falling on red bull. Yeah. Yeah now, um
• 34:28
  Um, I think we're gonna see red bull's downfall in the aspect of next year. We see them win two or three races
• 34:36
  Two or three they're gonna be on the very down downside. I think we see mclaren
• 34:40
  I think we see mclaren and ferrari start to take over next year
• 34:44
  And I agree with mclaren for sure. I think ferrari is gonna win a few races next year mclaren and ferrari
• 34:48
  I think it'll be the top two teams next year
• 34:50
  Is red bull third then for you or is mercedes and red bull's third?
• 34:54
  I think mercedes they just have too young with cammy and stuff and I mean you're better off putting uh,
• 34:59
  Colapinto or bareman in a seat right now because they've proven themselves in races
• 35:04
  That's fair. That's a fair take and again like what he said this summer will stick with me until he proves it
• 35:10
  On the track next year for me straight up like when you
• 35:13
  Are touted as the next
• 35:16
  Tom radie, you know what I mean? And you come out and say, you know, I don't know if i'm ready. Whoa
• 35:20
  I mean, that's a big red flag for me
• 35:22
  Uh moving on moving on because we gotta keep this thing rolling
• 35:25
  uh williams
• 35:27
  Uh, what a race what a race like both cars and points. He has to crash but
• 35:32
  Uh colapinto still would have been 10th
• 35:36
  What what a turnaround for that right now, right? No, no he didn't he was right behind he's right behind him by two seconds
• 35:41
  He's right behind him by two seconds. He's right there
• 35:44
  but
• 35:45
  What a race for colapinto first off, but just williams as a whole alban. We know he's a good driver
• 35:50
  This is what we know he's capable of doing if not better than that in a williams
• 35:55
  I don't know about that. But what is showing for for williams as a team? I might like I mean
• 36:00
  They might be don't you dare say that I might have to get a hat. I don't know
• 36:06
  I thought he was gonna throw them into our teams for 2025 in the mix. No, no, no
• 36:12
  I love when the commentators do stuff like that. They're like williams looked really good in practice
• 36:16
  They're gonna be at the top and then they just like 15 6. Yeah. No, I don't I don't think they're gonna be fighting that high up
• 36:21
  but
• 36:22
  If they can carry this momentum the rest next year, that's what i'm saying. Maybe best of the rest
• 36:27
  maybe I just they're they're so like up and down it feels like like
• 36:32
  Last year they were good. I think at the start of the season and they fell off really hard this year
• 36:36
  They were bad at the start of the season and then they're kind of getting a little bit better
• 36:39
  They just have up and downs. It's really hard to tell but either way really good race from williams and then
• 36:44
  I mean and on a tight technical track
• 36:46
  I mean, yes, it shows yes the the level of skill and the drivers but that the car can handle that. Yeah
• 36:53
  Absolutely and car aside alban obviously a great job
• 36:58
  This is the first time colapinto's ever raced in baku ever and he's gotten
• 37:02
  I wrote it here. He's gotten more points than logan has his entire career. Wow
• 37:09
  That's crazy
• 37:11
  I'm sorry to i'm sorry. I'm sorry to you know, kev we might need to make a hashtag. Sorry, logan. Sorry. I'm sorry man
• 37:16
  I don't read you know every day. I don't mean to bash in your grave, but like colapinto it's crazy
• 37:23
  We have logan on the show
• 37:31
  Oh my god, uh, so yeah great race from williams i'm curious if they can repeat it next week
• 37:36
  Um, we'll talk about some news with williams coming up here in a minute. Yeah, uh, let's just touch on haas real quick. Uh,
• 37:44
  bareman falling into points with the with the crash hulk just outside of points, but again another
• 37:52
  consistent showing from haas, I mean
• 37:54
  What's more impressive for haas with bareman is
• 37:58
  It's not like he raced
• 38:00
  The haas before right like he raised a ferrari and now haas and that's two different ball games
• 38:05
  And that should be a performed in both. Yeah, and that should be a really good
• 38:09
  Showing for haas like haas should feel really good about that. She's very happy with that guy in your seat
• 38:14
  That guy in the seat, but you should feel good about your car too. Like hey, we're finally starting to figure this thing out
• 38:19
  The what drives me nuts about this though is I think colapinto will continue to perform the rest of the year
• 38:25
  But he's not gonna have a spot next year
• 38:28
  That's crazy. I think we're gonna talk about that. Yeah, he could it's gonna be it could be weird
• 38:32
  It could be weird, but he could but at the moment absolutely not he doesn't there's nowhere for him to go right now
• 38:38
  Technically if you will get into we'll get in it. We'll get him other notes really quick
• 38:43
  Let's talk about the constructors points really
• 38:46
  Quickly kev if you want to throw the
• 38:49
  Little deal up there if you look at the bottom of the screen
• 38:52
  Check out our do you got the constructors up there right now? Yeah. Okay got the constructors points up there. Look how close
• 38:58
  I mean, well actually not even how close mcclaren just took the lee heat over red bull 476 red bull at 456
• 39:06
  I mean that that dnf by checko really hurt considering he would have been
• 39:11
  Possibly p5 p4. I'm sorry p3 p4
• 39:15
  That's a that's a big deal. Yep. That's a big deal
• 39:19
  Uh
• 39:19
  Check the tape they told you they need check the tape check the tapes
• 39:24
  Um
• 39:25
  Let's see run away with it now
• 39:27
  Did they really yeah, they're running away with there's no chance red bull catch red bulls red bulls trying to fight off by 20 points
• 39:34
  They're trying to just like that. Yeah, they're trying to fight off for our right now
• 39:37
  It would be incredibly hard for red bull to make that back. Do you okay?
• 39:40
  Then let's bring that up. Then do you think ferrari can catch red bull before the end of the season?
• 39:43
  I think red bull is third day of the year if
• 39:47
  If checko can get us a p8 or better
• 39:50
  Now I feel like red bull can still let's put this if checko can I have a good race
• 39:55
  I'm sorry
• 39:59
  Track he's like the he's won the most races here like
• 40:03
  Singapore he had one good year. I think here and that was it last year. He did not do well. It's
• 40:09
  He could get p8. I don't think it's gonna matter because science is gonna get higher than p8
• 40:13
  So back back on your question about the downfall of red bull if ferrari catches red bull
• 40:20
  I mean that cements it well, that's what that's what I said if ferrari does catch red bull that kind of cements
• 40:25
  It the dominance is over in that point though. I said it starts now. I think right now we're seeing the switch
• 40:30
  We're seeing a downfall now, right next year. We're gonna see it almost since
• 40:34
  Coming out of summer break a little bit. We're gonna see elevated. I think next year with the mcclaren and ferraris, but uh,
• 40:41
  Yeah, I don't think they have a shot like I think that uh
• 40:45
  Their best hope is her staffing to figure something out the rest of the year and just put out because he's every week
• 40:51
  He's consistently what between p4 and six right now like consistently. He has no chance right now. Yeah, okay
• 40:58
  Through two races right now
• 41:01
  If he if he can consistently podium, I think uh red bull can hold on to second
• 41:06
  But I think I think ferraris got second pretty locked up at this point
• 41:10
  I hope
• 41:13
  They might as well celebrate now, I don't yeah, I mean, yeah, I think mcclaren is gonna run. I think that brown's gonna count his chickens yet
• 41:18
  No
• 41:20
  I mean you can't
• 41:23
  Nothing, all right
• 41:26
  We'll table that one down low
• 41:29
  What no
• 41:31
  Um, all right kev let's move right into our news
• 41:34
  So to start the news as promised we're gonna bring up williams again that was horrible so
• 41:40
  Here's the thing. No, anyway, so we're gonna bring up williams again. Uh,
• 41:44
  William seriously wants colapinto on the grid in 2025 bad
• 41:48
  So that's the part that I was gonna bring up is
• 41:51
  The fact that he's gonna be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first
• 41:58
  I think he seriously wants colapinto on the grid in 2025 bad. So that's the part that I was gonna bring up is
• 42:06
  Williams has came out and said they're willing to talk to salbert to make it happen
• 42:10
  So i'm just saying james vals I think has used up all of his money all of his hose punch cards
• 42:16
  I don't think he's gonna have any point after getting signs
• 42:19
  The work he put in to get signs. I feel like it would be great
• 42:23
  I think he deserves it colapinto deserves a seat, but it's a I feel like it's a hard sell
• 42:28
  From salbert then you got to pick between his seat though. Why not yuki?
• 42:32
  No, i'm thinking why not albon?
• 42:35
  What do you mean aren't you just focusing on science right there?
• 42:38
  Science has the williams. Yeah
• 42:41
  So does albon. Yeah, why not? Why not look for that trade with albon to go over there to salbert? Oh, no
• 42:47
  no
• 42:48
  That would never happen. No williams needs
• 42:52
  Why because they just signed a multi-year deal with albon
• 42:56
  They're like building the team around him and now signs like he's he's like he's like a pillar of their team at this point
• 43:02
  Okay going forward though. Would you rather have colapinto and science or colapinto and albon?
• 43:08
  Colap
• 43:20
  He's finally saying it what are we doing?
• 43:22
  Uh, where am I?
• 43:25
  Um, so wait, what do you what is this proposal that no idea there's no details about it. Nope, but they
• 43:33
  William said that they were willing to talk to salbert to make it happen
• 43:37
  What that talk would be nobody knows because are they are they actually going to do it?
• 43:41
  Who knows but look at sabers opportunity, right? They got they got either I say opportunity lightly. They got botas
• 43:49
  joe
• 43:50
  and
• 43:51
  Colapinto is that it? I mean danny rick's floating away doing this. I don't know. We'll talk about danny rick here in a minute
• 43:57
  But the exact headline you read was williams wants colapinto on 2025 f1 grid open to salbert talks
• 44:04
  Really?
• 44:05
  No, I put bad in there. They want him bad. So I changed it up. That is not in this headline
• 44:10
  Hey, at least you didn't you know plagiarize. That's good
• 44:12
  We don't plagiarize a band with the boys. I I think I think it's still a hard sell unfortunately
• 44:17
  I think he deserves a seat. He's in these two races. He's already like proved himself. I think he's ready
• 44:23
  It's just i'm i'm afraid it's going to turn into a liam awesom situation
• 44:27
  Yeah, I wish there was more did we ever determine who's in that second v carb seat not yet. Okay, so that's the only other one
• 44:33
  so that that's where uh
• 44:35
  Yuki's not locked in yuki is locked in yuki's i thought i thought liam awesom was locked in nope. Oh, he's not
• 44:42
  Nope, second v carb is still open. That's interesting. So
• 44:45
  So here's my thing around it all
• 44:48
  I wish there was more like aggressive moves by teams
• 44:52
  In f1 like if you see somebody like colapinto or bareman not bareman because he's obviously pretty he's locked up
• 44:57
  But like colapinto for example
• 44:59
  Like if you're let's say racing bull and red bull
• 45:02
  Why not get rid of checo put him in the in the back in the background, right put him as your uh reserve
• 45:08
  seria, right I can't where background?'s too important because if you're gonna take sed green i'm gonna take red bull
• 45:09
  corner in the extended right channel what i was saying of course he's locked. He's locked up
• 45:13
  here. He's locked up here. He's locked up here. He's upper left corner
• 45:36
  Yeah
• 45:37
  He came it when he came in was it this year last year he came last year last year. Hey get him out
• 45:47
  Get him back
• 45:49
  It does sound stupid, but I think Red Bulls just bought into whatever
• 45:55
  Juice Liam Lawson is feeding them. That's
• 45:58
  Right though, but like I see
• 46:00
  By China
• 46:06
  But I think what's good about Red Bulls that every almost every single one of their drivers is just amazing for PR and they like
• 46:12
  Work somewhere so I think Liam had four or five races last year and everyone like loves it
• 46:17
  But if it's gonna if it's gonna be Liam, why is it taking you so long to say it though?
• 46:22
  There's got to be question marks because you got Danny
• 46:23
  I know and that's why like I just see a this is just a headline here Helmut came out and said
• 46:29
  We'll quote wait for Singapore to know about Daniel Ricardo's future
• 46:32
  So why do they keep delaying this thing if they know either like I don't think Danny Rick's in the seat at all
• 46:38
  And I do think it's gonna be Liam because I think Red Bulls just in love with them
• 46:43
  But I would agree that Colapinto would be a better option
• 46:45
  But I don't think I don't think Williams wants to talk to Red Bull about that but but at this point
• 46:50
  Cuz Colapinto understand gonna be Williams reserve. I'd imagine right if it's Albans. Oh, yeah, we'd go into the reserve
• 46:55
  so but like at this point with like Yuki right Yuki deserves a spot because of
• 47:02
  His points and his performance
• 47:05
  At least one more year majority of the year. Yeah, he did very well great. Yeah, so
• 47:11
  Like I hate that like I hate I understand it
• 47:15
  But I hate like the popularity contest at that level
• 47:18
  But we got a stop it at some point like if you want to start when like
• 47:20
  Yeah, but every major sports can be political like that though. Well, yeah, I'll always will be 100%
• 47:26
  But like there's 20 changes. There's 20 spots, right?
• 47:30
  We have cool for a president. Got a new
• 47:35
  Joe Guan Yu Guan Yu Guan Yu, right? Yeah, okay
• 47:40
  Guan Yu get him out of a car. Why is he still driving?
• 47:44
  Get him out of a car
• 47:46
  After focusing on how to say his name
• 47:48
  Take away his license
• 47:50
  Joe Joe
• 47:51
  But what are we doing with him?
• 47:53
  It's the money factor. It's the money factor
• 47:55
  But I hate that get something that'll actually elevate you to the next level
• 47:59
  It'll get you more money for your team and it's possibly still growing the sport too. There's that part of it as well
• 48:03
  It's not as big of a factor as the money factor in China. Yeah. Yeah
• 48:08
  What's the population of China? Who cares a lot?
• 48:11
  You know, it's like America finally gets into the sport and we have freaking sergeant back in us and they got gone you dude
• 48:17
  Yeah, the US only lasted what six months since sergeant got brought in full-time
• 48:23
  Cuz he wasn't full-time last year. Oh, no, he was full-time last year. What am I talking about?
• 48:26
  He's just as bad. That's why I just blanked it
• 48:30
  Yeah, yeah anyway, so we'll see Colapinto at the moment no seat
• 48:34
  I definitely know what you mean
• 48:35
  I think I think the obvious spot if he were to race next year would be
• 48:39
  I just it's I have no idea what they're thinking Colapinto. Yeah
• 48:43
  I don't know if I don't know if Audi's making the decisions for salber right now or kick is I just have no idea
• 48:49
  incoming Mick seat
• 48:51
  Oh my there's a you forgot to put your tinfoil hat back on
• 48:55
  Who? Schumacher?
• 48:57
  Mick who do you think Mick? Well, who's the guy that was from Russia?
• 49:00
  Mazel spin? Mazel spin I heard that
• 49:03
  Yeah
• 49:05
  Yeah, okay, nobody will take back with how much he costs. No, no Mick. You know what Mick will get a seat before he does
• 49:13
  That I'll give you before Mazel spin. I mean it's a seat
• 49:16
  It's Mazel pin right? That's exactly what I keep saying. Nikita. It's Mazel pin. Yeah, Nikita. We'll call him Nikita instead
• 49:24
  Um by rain to hold 2025 testing have they held it before? Oh, yeah, like they low-key have okay? That's what I thought
• 49:31
  So they used to hold it in Spain like a while back, but it's been Bahrain for a while
• 49:37
  Okay, that's what I thought I was like this didn't it didn't feel like news to me
• 49:40
  but I think what I thought I'd mentioned is like they on this on social media they put way too much praise on I feel like
• 49:47
  I was like, okay, that's what I mean
• 49:53
  I was as soon as I put it in here. I was like, I'm pretty sure it's been there
• 49:57
  Yeah, like I saw that and I was like, okay, that's what we've been doing news news. All right
• 50:05
  So here's my Danny Rick stuff
• 50:08
  Apparently if he doesn't have a 2025 f1 seat Danny Rick has come in stateside
• 50:14
  To potentially race NASCAR is what he would like to do if he didn't have a 2020 feet. Nothing's guaranteed
• 50:20
  He doesn't have a seat lined up in NASCAR either, but we saw Kimmy make the jump whatever
• 50:24
  I just thought it was funny. It'd probably be a great PR move and a possible bridge to get NASCAR fans into f1
• 50:33
  Will that work like that? Probably not f1 NASCAR fans think everyone's stupid f1 fans think NASCAR stupid
• 50:40
  So it's it's probably not a thing, but I thought it was interesting
• 50:43
  No, it'd be NASCAR fan as well. It'd be brilliant. It'd be brilliant
• 50:46
  The only thing I think that Danny Rick's not understanding unless he gets crazy crazy advertisements
• 50:52
  You're not gonna make the same money
• 50:54
  No
• 50:54
  Once you get crazy
• 50:55
  He knows he wouldn't make the same money and he straight-up said that he wouldn't be good at it because he hasn't been racing
• 51:00
  In that way his whole life like he has f1
• 51:02
  But that'd be huge like be interested. He's interested to do and I think it would be a great PR move. Hey, gon you
• 51:09
  Joe he's a gon you I like a NASCAR everybody loves that guy. Even Americans love that guy
• 51:14
  It doesn't matter, you know, you know Scholar Copenhagen you live you love Danny Rick. What what Danny Rick's the again?
• 51:22
  Gwanyu Joe
• 51:24
  Popularity
• 51:25
  You're there for popularity. Yeah, right same thing if he goes in ask cars the same thing. Oh, okay. I got you
• 51:31
  I got you. What's going on? The reason why Joe has a seat is yeah, I got
• 51:36
  Got you bro. All right
• 51:38
  NASCAR aside
• 51:40
  I just I'd like to like look up f1 news right before we get here and it is all Danny Rick right now
• 51:45
  Like just just in terms of like what is happening. Yeah, something has to happen soon
• 51:50
  I sighed Singapore is Danny Rick D day you get him in like that's yeah
• 51:54
  Yeah, I mean like we'll figure out put some like Hooters on there
• 51:56
  So oh, yeah
• 51:57
  It was because that helmet Marco thing where he teases something in Singapore like it's very possible
• 52:02
  Nothing could be said and I think nothing's gonna happen
• 52:04
  But we got a few weeks to before we have another show, right?
• 52:07
  So between the end of Singapore and our next show something could happen in that window
• 52:13
  Maybe that's what they're gearing up for maybe that's why they're waiting for Singapore. Maybe the last break
• 52:17
  But they're not gonna take they're gonna let Danny Rick finish a season. I'd imagine. Oh, yeah
• 52:22
  Actually, they already confirmed that at summer break. Yeah, I can firm
• 52:24
  He has the seat for the rest of the season no matter what they can they can for that with checko not Danny
• 52:28
  I thought it was Danny Rick to use all like amped up and pumped about stuff and everybody's like
• 52:33
  Oh my god, Danny Rick is going to Red Bull next year and like no none of that happened
• 52:37
  but I thought it was because he was pumped because like hey like
• 52:41
  No, I got a seat for the rest of your but I will say I will watch NASCAR if Danny Rick's in a NASCAR
• 52:45
  You would yeah. Hey Danny Rick's a NASCAR. Let's go. I like I like Danny Rick a lot
• 52:49
  I almost said I like nice. I was close. I like Danny Rick a lot
• 52:52
  I don't think it's enough to give me to watch NASCAR
• 52:54
  You'll do it. I'm watching lots of money to it. You'll do it. You'll do it
• 52:58
  With that we'll close out the news and head right into Singapore preview
• 53:14
  And
• 53:16
  Like always we got with the Singapore preview we have this week
• 53:21
  Usually I have a cool name like to put in there for your segment here
• 53:25
  We got to come up with something this week. I just wrote
• 53:29
  Joe
• 53:30
  Yeah, so Joe take it away
• 53:34
  Yeah, look at the Singapore
• 53:36
  Doing a Singapore recap this year. It's Formula One Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2024 same as last year
• 53:42
  I'm it's a hot one. This is one of the hottest of the seasons
• 53:45
  I think it was only it was only a little bit hotter in Qatar. I believe
• 53:49
  But it's it's a it's a physically demanding one a fun fact drivers can lose as much as three kilograms or six point six pounds
• 53:56
  Over the course of the race
• 53:59
  So definitely very very physically demanding this track really fun to race though. I love this track. It's so much fun
• 54:06
  I used to hate racing it, but it's become one of my favorites, okay
• 54:10
  All right looking at last year's race they're starting grid Carlos George and then Charles on our
• 54:16
  Front-end second row off the line Charles makes a quick move on Russell to get into second place
• 54:22
  Meanwhile behind a Lewis fights Lando for fourth and ends up leaving the track having to concede the place back to both Russell and Norris
• 54:29
  Yuki made contact with Perez running a bit too close alongside picking up some damage and eventually pulling off into the runoff
• 54:35
  And he is our first DNF a couple
• 54:39
  Yuki Yuki. Yep a couple laps later Logan does Logan things and finds his nose into the wall breaking his throat
• 54:45
  Wing and bringing out the first safety car on lap 21. It was an incredibly hectic pit lane
• 54:50
  It's the same lap
• 54:52
  We see most teams bringing both of their cars in at the same time except for Max and Perez who started 11th place
• 54:58
  Max started 11th place putting him in an awkward strategy where he's a pit stop down from everyone else
• 55:03
  And he will have to serve that after the safety car restart
• 55:07
  Almost immediately Russell Lando and Lewis overtake Perez and Max neither of whom had pitted
• 55:13
  Verstappen finally pits at lap 41 coming out at 15th position two laps later
• 55:17
  Ocon loses power and brings out the virtual safety car
• 55:20
  Burke and Alonso decide to go for a different strategy and give up their position for newer tires to the end of the 62 lap race
• 55:26
  That strategy pays off as both Mercedes get ahead of Charles for third and fourth
• 55:30
  Verstappen is absolutely cutting through the field with better tires in the superior car by lap 58
• 55:35
  He makes the overtake on Gastly for sixth and on the last lap of the race the top four drivers being signed
• 55:41
  Norris Russell and Hamilton
• 55:43
  Separated by less than a second it goes wheel the wheel right up until turn 11 and instead of turning
• 55:48
  George taps the outer wall a little too hard
• 55:51
  Ops to go straight into the barrier ending his race losing him a putting position on the final lap of that race
• 55:56
  So our final was signs Lando Hamilton. This is the race that broke Red Bull's winning streak
• 56:02
  I remember being incredibly hyped for it because they were just they I think they had like 10 like 11 or 12 races one in a
• 56:07
  Row, so I was just so hyped to see signs up there and this was I think I forgot about this is like right after
• 56:14
  Wait, was it right after him? No, no, no Hamilton got announced in like winter break. Yeah
• 56:19
  Last year was this race very far back on the schedule, right? It's one of the last races
• 56:23
  It was around the same time. I was on the same time. Yeah, I'm trippin in a 2022
• 56:29
  The f1 game was this race very deep in the schedule. You guys remember that or no? 2022? I can't I don't remember
• 56:35
  Why what's it's like the famous night race right at the end of the year? Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no, no not not the last race
• 56:41
  That's Abu Dhabi. Yeah, I'm confusing those two. Okay, so I remember him wrecking and I'm just trying to this is a street track
• 56:47
  It's very close quarters. It's like two canes and a lot of chicanes. They go on a bridge at one point. Yeah
• 56:52
  Yeah, yeah, okay. I know what we're talking about. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I like Baku too
• 56:56
  It is like you said it is a fun track to play. Yeah one that I have finished at you have yeah
• 57:01
  This is like tracks where it's like a staple to finish at this one Monaco all those like
• 57:07
  Now I tell you what Monaco's different story for me, buddy
• 57:10
  I I will not race Monaco. Yeah, you just don't race. I just don't do it anymore
• 57:16
  So if you're in the career mode on f1 you just skip it. Um
• 57:20
  If I'm doing a full season, I'll do it and I'll usually I just always hang out wing damage
• 57:25
  And yeah, it's it's tough like me too
• 57:27
  I'm typically going ahead of everyone in that one race. I'm just my pace is so bad. So I I dread it
• 57:32
  Hey, Monaco fair enough
• 57:35
  Fair enough can't do it. Maybe I'm bad. I didn't even bring up our points. Let me pull up our points for this week
• 57:42
  Um, I remember watching that though. Are we the wreck from Russell? Yep. Are we crazy? Are we expecting?
• 57:48
  You know
• 57:52
  No
• 57:54
  Uh red bull as a whole are we expecting them to bounce back in the slightest this week?
• 57:58
  Like can we see max at least achieve podium? I don't think so. I'm gonna go back to what I said
• 58:03
  I'm gonna go back to what I said two two episodes ago
• 58:06
  And you held me to it and I I doubled down last week, but uh, I didn't double down opposite
• 58:12
  I will not put max in my podium the rest of the year
• 58:15
  I said that two weeks ago and I did it last week and karma
• 58:18
  Bit me
• 58:19
  Bitcha pg, uh
• 58:21
  Uh
• 58:23
  So
• 58:24
  Yeah max will not be my podium the rest of the year
• 58:26
  Will not be in your podium the rest of the year no matter what i'm gonna stick to it
• 58:29
  I think I think unless like I don't know don't say that because like all of a sudden like, you know
• 58:33
  So and so is not racing these races
• 58:36
  We did not think of a two point. I know I have I have one they laid on us. Okay
• 58:42
  This is a red bull two pointer. It's 50 50 again
• 58:45
  So it's it's really broad
• 58:46
  But if you guys like it because we just saw check out out score max and we know checko is typically decent at street tracks
• 58:53
  Who finishes ahead?
• 58:55
  Max or checko
• 58:58
  Who
• 58:59
  That's quite easy, but we can do it you think so. Yeah. Hey if you want to go checko
• 59:04
  We'll do it if you want to try to get a couple on us
• 59:08
  I think i'm going max on that
• 59:10
  Maybe we think of something else guys
• 59:12
  What he thought he thought he snuck one by right there, you know, actually that's a bad idea
• 59:20
  That's a good one it's a good question what we do yeah, we got colapinto again, right this week
• 59:24
  Yeah, we got colapinto for the rest of the season. What about uh,
• 59:27
  You got to pick three places you think he lands on if he lands on one of the three places
• 59:32
  So we're thinking colapinto
• 59:34
  Like specifically colapinto what three is he is he but has to be in sequence sequential. So one two three is he
• 59:39
  Two three four is he actually like that a lot and ten
• 59:43
  Okay, so what's your windows then those?
• 59:46
  You can pick one two three
• 59:48
  You just have to pick three three though. I like that. Okay. Yeah, i'm cool with that. I'm cool with that
• 59:54
  Stewart just sent me his his picks here
• 59:58
  Um, so we'll say him first again like we always do I gotta send him. I gotta send him the bonus. He's winning now
• 1:00:03
  he is let me double check because
• 1:00:05
  Somebody me didn't total these up before the show. So let me just are you mad?
• 1:00:11
  Bad bad bad. We're bad and multitasking. So you guys should talk amongst yourselves really quick. Give me five minutes
• 1:00:18
  What do you got to win it? What I got to win? Yeah. Yeah, I can't tell you i'm last
• 1:00:21
  I can't give you anything. Oh, you think I would take secrets from you?
• 1:00:25
  Yes
• 1:00:27
  100 percent
• 1:00:30
  If I have to win if I wanted your picks i'll just google images something dude, I guess I can tell you
• 1:00:34
  What the?
• 1:00:36
  Oh my god. Hey, you know what you got bonus points
• 1:00:39
  I did get bonus points. Does czecho have to finish for him to get bonus points? Secondly he finished outside of top 10
• 1:00:44
  And joe was the only one
• 1:00:46
  Yeah, yeah, it was bareman. Oh no, this is
• 1:00:48
  different that was italy no I lost that
• 1:00:50
  No, we talked call of pinto that's right
• 1:00:52
  We did get we did get two I did get two points last that was another reason why I was like
• 1:00:57
  So stressed during the race because bareman got within like I think within a second of cold war
• 1:01:02
  Within like I think within a second of cola pinto for a second there. Yeah. Oh, yeah, he was above him for a second
• 1:01:08
  He was I was like you gotta be kidding me
• 1:01:12
  I was yeah, I was stressing
• 1:01:14
  So tyler is now at 38 points. So since he's going first
• 1:01:19
  He's got
• 1:01:20
  piastry charles landau
• 1:01:23
  I hate how he did in that order piastry charles landau. Why what a basic dude sucks
• 1:01:28
  Just copycat because we hey, hey, this is the second week in a row. We're not doing it in order, right?
• 1:01:34
  We just say our picks like yeah, correct
• 1:01:36
  That's why it's just podium. Hey, but he did it in order for a reason. Why do you do it like that?
• 1:01:40
  He thinks also he's gonna win. He's beating switch
• 1:01:43
  Oh, yeah. Yeah, that guy's fishing from the dock when he thinks he's on a boat right now. Get him out. Whoa
• 1:01:48
  Oh my god, he's not even he's not even here to back himself up
• 1:01:56
  So with one point behind him, yeah, that's you well we got put on your tin foil hat
• 1:02:02
  um, i'm gonna agree with uh
• 1:02:04
  piastry and landau
• 1:02:06
  Agree with piastry and landau. Is that not what he said? Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna agree with piastry and landau
• 1:02:11
  I think they're too dominant right now. Yes, we know
• 1:02:20
  Oh man, that last one's a doozy last one's a doozy
• 1:02:25
  the player's doing great, but uh
• 1:02:28
  i'm gonna do uh
• 1:02:30
  i'm gonna do russell
• 1:02:31
  george, you know what I thought about george too, especially after this week, even though he fell into the podium, but
• 1:02:36
  It's interesting. That's an interesting pick old george russell. I really don't know if I like that
• 1:02:41
  Hey, you already said it. You already said joe. I'm just kidding. I mean, it's me. Um, i'm at 33 points
• 1:02:48
  uh
• 1:02:49
  i'm going um
• 1:02:52
  Piestry landau as well not necessarily in that order
• 1:02:57
  uh
• 1:02:59
  Oh, man
• 1:03:01
  Wait, what were you three?
• 1:03:03
  Piestry landau, landau, gaslight. No, um, oh you haven't picked your third one
• 1:03:09
  No, uh, man, you know what? No, you know what? No, i'm gonna go piastry charles and carlos
• 1:03:16
  Really? Yeah, I know that's crazy
• 1:03:19
  These dudes keep on picking my podium. I'm sticking to you were gonna do that
• 1:03:23
  No, I was gonna do I was gonna do tyler's and I was like maybe I should do something else and then he picked my backup
• 1:03:28
  I think I have something he picked your backup. Yeah, this is he picked one of my back
• 1:03:31
  I have a lot of backups. I have a lot of stuff going on in my head. Yeah, you're yelling at me
• 1:03:34
  I need points. You're like three people away though from literally putting gasoline in your podium
• 1:03:39
  If you're gonna put that that podium is horrible. It'd be crazy. That's why he's in third
• 1:03:42
  Don't copy that podium if that was your second option. You got other issues to deal with. I've had a decent year, man
• 1:03:48
  Whoa, i'm only i'm only four back with you and five of the lead buddy. I'm just basing stuff off history. Okay
• 1:03:54
  Am I is it do I go now? Is that yeah go for it? Okay. I'm trying to text steward darbo
• 1:03:59
  So I said this at the start of the season if there was any race I was going to
• 1:04:03
  Not put max on on like the podium. It was singapore
• 1:04:06
  I said that from the beginning even if he had a flawless like a flawless season
• 1:04:11
  Max does not do well in singapore. So he's not there
• 1:04:15
  Lando is going to be there
• 1:04:18
  The last two are kind of up in the air a little bit. I think i'm gonna go i'm gonna go with oscar
• 1:04:24
  And then i'm between charles and lewis
• 1:04:26
  No, no one said lewis. No one has elicit too what science?
• 1:04:30
  Yeah, because hey, hey one of them's gonna do it right remember we talked about that last time
• 1:04:34
  So why hate on me for going carlos?
• 1:04:37
  No, because the rest of them what we doing I think it's because you didn't have oscar. Maybe all right. All right
• 1:04:41
  Oh my bad. Um
• 1:04:44
  No, I do have oscar. I don't have lando in the top three. Yeah, that's what's crazy. He doesn't have land on the top
• 1:04:48
  I know I know that I know. Oh, you don't have land on the top. No, I went piastri
• 1:04:52
  Piazzari piastri at carlos and charles lando did really good here. Thanks captain
• 1:04:59
  No, but I agree
• 1:05:04
  Okay, ferrari did well too lando oscar
• 1:05:07
  Man
• 1:05:08
  This is tough because I feel like the ferrari is faster than mercedes, but I think lewis is just really good at this track
• 1:05:13
  lando oscar
• 1:05:15
  I'm going to go lando oscar and
• 1:05:17
  And tyler pick charles i'll go lewis, I guess
• 1:05:21
  What just to be different or do you want to go charles? No, I mean I had I have written here
• 1:05:25
  You got nothing to lose. I've written here charles or lewis. So fair enough. We're still waiting on tyler fair enough
• 1:05:31
  Fair enough. He did his three. Okay. Okay, because you can't you can't go backwards
• 1:05:35
  So I forgot we forgot to do bonus because I don't think you said your bonus. So uh the bonus
• 1:05:41
  Yeah, so he says his bonus for where color pintle will finish is either uh 10 11 12
• 1:05:46
  12
• 1:05:48
  That was my two
• 1:05:51
  um
• 1:05:53
  I was gonna do the same thing. Um, but i'm not gonna now
• 1:05:56
  So i'm here to win. I'm gonna go 9 10 11
• 1:05:59
  9 10 11 dang joe joe jumped you he's just like screw you buddy. I need to get something. He jumped you too buck
• 1:06:05
  I don't I
• 1:06:07
  Hey, it's like you said i'm second to worst so it doesn't matter for me either tyler did 10 11 12. Yeah
• 1:06:12
  Okay, i'm gonna do uh 12 13 14 12 13 14 dang i'm taking a risk then what are you doing?
• 1:06:22
  Eight nine ten
• 1:06:26
  He's getting I love it. I think it's too technical. He's gonna be down low. Hey, tell you what if he gets if he gets 12
• 1:06:31
  We're both not showing up for the next one. We're phoning in
• 1:06:34
  That's cool. Hey if he gets ace you're gonna start listening to me for your picks buddy. I'm gonna help you help you out
• 1:06:40
  Hey, man
• 1:06:43
  Uh, I wouldn't listen to me. Uh, anyway, so that's crazy. Um, that's crazy. We put a rookie who's never been on this track before
• 1:06:51
  It's so high
• 1:06:53
  Actually, he's probably been in this track and f2 or f3
• 1:06:55
  But like the rookie in in this in a street circuit, but why why are you staring at me?
• 1:07:00
  I'm curious what you're gonna say with this. How are you gonna defend this right now? I i'm just listen
• 1:07:04
  Listen here. Listen here. Listen here. If the crash didn't happen he hit 10 this week
• 1:07:09
  In points if that crash didn't happen instead of eight now, can he do it two weeks in a row? I don't know
• 1:07:15
  Yes, he would have he finished pa. Oh, yeah. Yeah, where are you going with this?
• 1:07:19
  That he can do it again. I said eight nine ten. He's gonna be
• 1:07:23
  More like ten if I had to take a guess but hey, he could get eight too. It's too late to change
• 1:07:28
  No, i'm not changing. No, no, i'm just saying
• 1:07:30
  I'm asking for me. I feel like I should get lower
• 1:07:32
  The math on that though. The math on that is I think he's gonna get tenth. So i'm gonna pick the two above that
• 1:07:37
  Because nobody else did you guys all went lower so I gotta take my risk and go higher because nobody else went eight or nine
• 1:07:45
  Hey, maybe you can stick there forever. Maybe no i'm coming for you buddy. Yeah, you know
• 1:07:52
  There's just so many factors to think of because if anyone crashes that's extra joe could win and then that screws everybody up
• 1:07:58
  All right. Well with that we should probably close this thing up
• 1:08:03
