Intro: Howling (Sting) - Gunnar Olsen
Outro: Your Intro by Audionautix

[00:00:00] this race was so good that even the Romanian Prime Minister was watching this race as opposed to like his voting results which were coming order at the same time. So, it is a new seat to Mil Rae but what a race.

[00:00:15] What did he say? I can't miss this. And he actually won by like a 50% margin or something. Hello, hello and welcome back to F1 Fanfiction, a show about race we can reviews and tracing community interviews. Now before we begin, you may not feel this but I'm pretty

[00:00:45] sure this recording is going to be a long one because what a week in we've had. Oh man, from the quality to I mean some of the food practice sessions too but like the

[00:00:58] quality they're raised. In fact, what a Sunday we've had if you are a they see fan who follows tennis as well and mega Sunday, mega Sunday. So there's too much to unpack. We've spoken to

[00:01:13] much but a lot of food it would have gotten edited and that's why you're seeing what you're listening to what you're listening. Here we are, we are your hosts, I am Akash and I'm Saren

[00:01:23] and and let's dive into it when there's too much to talk about. Yeah, it's a very unusual team to start with Saren but let's start with us the only two four that decided to come out on Vets.

[00:01:37] Vets, well, Vets, yeah one. It was insane. First of all, when I saw that I was like okay, I think this is going to be an interesting start because of course like it would help them at the

[00:01:49] start and avoid date right. Yeah and K-Vag was in fire, of course like just it's it's funny when this team like always so like they're like the wild card they do some kind of shit just to

[00:02:02] entertain people it feels like. Oh man, seriously, seriously and as like okay maybe someone else has definitely come out on Vets because the whole track is wet and I don't think someone's expecting

[00:02:14] it to dry up in four or five laps and I'm like sure but no they were the only ones that did come out on the Vets and as I saw the race in post, I mean as typing my notes as things are happening

[00:02:27] as like okay, Magnus and let me type 6 plays 5 places now. Wait 6 places. Wait, I mean, wait, you know what happened to me. Yeah exactly. He's in a right order seat right now and then

[00:02:37] say like eventually whatever places up God damn man he was eventually I think like eventually before P8 sort of thing 10 to 8 places up both Magnus and and Hulk, dude crazy, crazy,

[00:02:51] crazy scenes. I think eventually here's what I saw. He was he was two laps in and up all the way to P6. Yeah, it doesn't I think in the first lap itself he got like four positions or something

[00:03:07] of five positions and then after that he was like picking each one one out with the other and then everything got wiped out of at lap 10 because then he'd be oh god damn dude yeah I feel all I felt that man 8.6 second pit stop like completely undone.

[00:03:29] Exactly exactly. I mean I didn't expect that he might like you know Gake like keep a lot of those positions but before it he must have at least put in a P8 out of it

[00:03:42] straight out of it. But it'll be angry. That's done. Yeah. But well, like it's like at least the efforts saw them fighting almost for that point because it was it was like a handholding finish

[00:03:57] for the alpins and then the the has at P11 and P12. So almost made it to the points. Maybe I didn't it been for that 8.6. But then but then at the same time there were five people who are

[00:04:12] out of the recess well so actually let me say they almost needed because of big aspect there. Okay but that's how Danny record this point right? I said that also wouldn't have happened so

[00:04:27] when it's not really um actually why let's not forget the Williams. Both Fararis had to be out uh-huh. That's in sure. Right yeah. But albone also had to be out. Let's not forget albone also had to be out. No, I need to score a point. Yeah. Oh boy.

[00:04:47] Where do we come back to this? We'll come back to this. Yeah. Has. Has. Let's wrap up on has before before and more ahead. I think not much more to say health like was able to capitalize

[00:04:57] a bit but yeah not not more. But you let's talk about their big brother team Farari you know. Let's let's get there the Farari blender Varari being Farari man. P2 P1 DnF the last three recess. For sure. Why did this send my brain was so my brain was

[00:05:24] Lamox is the one. This here's the thing right like mid-rates when they knew that you know downton Montreal's already in range they're gonna get three. So they pit-like like sure

[00:05:39] I mean yeah he's not gonna win but then make sense you know let's let's get him out on weights and get in that advantage and probably bring him back in and put him on the inters. Well like no we'll put on hearts. I'm like why is this happening?

[00:05:57] I was so confused. Was there more like a regulation stuff I'd play where they had to run through a tire set and I have two theories. Okay I have two theories it's one of the either two. One is that

[00:06:09] I don't know if you know what I think in Fp some Fp free practice they got a penalty or something for putting on inters when the track wasn't fit so I think there was so scared of that.

[00:06:22] Yeah paid 5000 for it. I don't know yeah I can't we kind of put 5000 more so you know let's just put they should have been penalized 5000 for that. Bringing hearts when it's completely weights.

[00:06:35] In pay another 5000 for it. So that's the only one and my other theory is somebody forgot to change the location under a weather and they were probably still in the interior. It's still in the

[00:06:46] least number yeah yeah I do. And in the word part I see I see it in your nose which reminds me so he comes online and he's saying he's got no grips in it. He's got no Hindu.

[00:06:59] Like yeah it's only two labs just keep the car on the track which we got to do. And I'm seeing dude the boy has dropped a lap behind the last position. This is the one that's on Formula

[00:07:14] Dine where there's two like the position map of everybody and seems as if like a little leading the pan. He's so far behind. Yeah I can't even do that dude. So sad man so sad I don't know what to say. Poor poor like apparently there's another theory

[00:07:35] that this was the first race after the while that his dog didn't come along with him. So yeah and signs man that asshole he destroyed all one's race also bad at him dude.

[00:07:52] I feel so gutted for. First of all he was doing some baby it shit on the grass I don't know what he was doing. Yeah he I think pressed the gas at the wrong time coming out of that turn left. We'll spin

[00:08:07] my feel threatened moment of the whole race was Alban overtaking Daniel Ricardo and Ocon. In a chicane. At last say to no contact what a beauty coming outside of Ricardo going in on

[00:08:28] that overtake going in to Ocon and then coming out. Wow like I was I'm I was while cutting him off as well like he's so fucoughly cut both of them on the corner it was just insane yeah masterclass.

[00:08:45] I paused and I said oh wow this is insane for me that I don't mean not in the hands. Oh shoot and then I was like this guy is that liever of the day for me like if we get forget

[00:09:00] whatever happened to it and yeah yeah and then this fucker bebly takes him out for no fault of this. Yeah man as soon as I saw that overtake I at that moment itself I knew that I'm watching

[00:09:19] history in the making the color gonna look at the overtake like years from now and say that wow what an overtake that was yeah yeah I'm pretty sure it like given Christian owner and like

[00:09:28] old man sitting at red bull like she doesn't let him go on because by then I think like by then Perez is a wing was gone right new contract play was already at

[00:09:41] exactly oh man but he album good stuff now that we've brought in Perez into play new contracts out out and Q1 of course broke the car of course but what's the shit about him being consciously

[00:10:01] being asked to bring the damaged car limpingly into the pits so that they don't I was safety car and lose the car as bad as it's yeah yeah and apparently the team like explicitly said that

[00:10:17] on the radio to have like we know like you know but still come to the pit just because we are so yeah man and how I think will will boxed in said something like you know just a few

[00:10:31] degrees of separation different from crash gate like it's just an opposite of yeah of the they wanted like a safety car and here they wanted to hold yeah I've totally agree with you I find it funny that Perez is rolling start which was a blatant rolling start

[00:10:54] picked up by the sensors so never what penalized we have a recording of the team telling him to come back I mean which obviously the wound the safety car which is never penalized

[00:11:07] yeah I mean he got a penalty but that's like barely like slap on the wrist doesn't matter he'd be pretty lay and anyways if you like qualify P19 how does it matter yeah the new contract effectively player for a few races yeah and then poor Danny Boy

[00:11:26] finally things were called for him one weekend and his rolling start wasn't like yeah sure it was but got picked up by the sensors and sure he got a five second but good on him I mean good for

[00:11:43] him rather that safety car helped him out because he basically could have a free penalty car out of sight yeah wow man that Perez it's just confusing to me I don't understand what's going on

[00:11:55] like it's just like just imagine I just read this comment that if the other drivers were the other driver of red bull was also like Perez people will think that this is like red bull is

[00:12:08] like sauber or something right like yeah it's so weird like you put us was never P19 ever man like I don't think even when Alba and Ocon were racing they were this bad yeah that's what people say

[00:12:23] that like both ghastly and Alba and got such a shit treatment at red bull like considering that how young they were as well yeah and Perez is just like it's weird it's like what he's

[00:12:37] going to be there for like five years no four years I think he's been no more so six yeah but yeah that's the gaseous scheme definition right yeah but Carlos Limm's money is coming in

[00:12:51] and apparently also he his merch sales are moved and maxed up apparently because of Mexico that's what the rumors are but I don't know how true that is but I'm pretty sure that's

[00:13:02] money related something that they're keeping him yeah that and I guess I guess he's the perfect fit because they know he's never going to win a championship they know yeah but it's true right I mean

[00:13:13] that's true for years maybe that's also an as contract you give us money will give you a seed you don't win a championship who knows yeah he gives them enough points for driver,

[00:13:27] constructor both championships to be them so it's a win win for red bull and Perez gets it's so easy yeah let's talk about the other RBT military we car we car yeah that's what I've

[00:13:45] recently heard that that's what they're going with now we car yeah because I think like it's what Viza crash app red bull of f**k man soon or the almost almost killed magnetism was it all cool to that was a scary crash awesome save by yeah yeah

[00:14:07] three years stuff I think I don't know if you saw this during the monaco weekend there was this incident for f2 where some driver had to stop in the tunnel yeah and this like totally reminded me of

[00:14:21] that like it was just so close that as well that was I think way more scary occurs yeah that was scary like sport full speed and coming in but this was also equally scary they could have easily

[00:14:33] tea bonded to you know totally but until then I think like some of those doing too good man I think they would have had both v-car went to the points an amazing can for them unfortunately that didn't

[00:14:45] work out and annual got a bit of it good weekend for him man like T5 quality finish a deep finish race he got to say eat shit on uh come on the meat happiness one race he does that

[00:15:04] I bet I bet my money's worth this dinner next no forget the dinner next weekend this is that no more how is it again for that either the rest of this yeah oh so not all

[00:15:20] got his contract renewal right yeah but apparently it's not like he didn't renew it the team renewed it it's like the team had an option of renewal uh after one year and so like he has to

[00:15:34] so they had the right of first refusal basically so if he tries to look outside he has to first ask them and if they are not willing to take him only then he can look outside so he is kind of

[00:15:45] basically the block him in for the next year and I feel it's weird because then I have a gate or get out of jail free card sort of thing no I mean I'm pretty sure there must be some clauses

[00:15:56] somewhere like like that we'll never know but that's what I feel is weird is that they have basically locked him in so he can't go to anywhere else so I think even with the rumors that

[00:16:07] I think astronaut is going to partner with Honda right 2022 and he's starting something like that oh interesting not that's what interesting there's some rumors going on about that so with those rumors I'm pretty sure Honda might want to bring him there if possible but then if these

[00:16:25] guys are locking him in here it's yeah it's weird I don't see a future for him in that will because they're not going to give that seat to him like the second seat at least with next two

[00:16:35] years of course wow man so Honda goes to Hastin maybe Adrian goes to Hastin interesting lucky yeah I do have nothing changes as long as they have stroll so there's no tension

[00:16:47] right but there's a interesting video I don't know if it was a monaco or the sweetkilling but there's this video of Toto walking in the paddock he goes out of the camera frame and then the

[00:17:03] camera pans where newy is signing like a Ferrari flag or a t-shirt or something interesting oh okay so very similar to this I saw another video where Toto is on a cycle okay like that's

[00:17:21] scooty thingy and I'm meeting the signings of Ferrari capsus that one makes sense that one's fun but I mean the boy is so loud because even after the race what a contradiction right

[00:17:36] because even after the race Toto came on to Hamilton's radio and said well Hamilton at least the car performed well and Hamilton was silent like there was no time back and then in the

[00:17:50] media pain after the whole event Hamilton goes this is the worst race we can't have ever heard of it all right you know let's stop over most of you in general take yeah but so with your notes and like the

[00:18:05] hoodie knee act guess who's back but his back back again yeah I mean like the first first podium this year right like I think they're back finally after a very long time I think even last season they had

[00:18:18] a very terrible start same thing this time. First podium is it I thought like first pole to podium maybe was it I don't like the first podium this time as well to be honest like the previous race

[00:18:31] in the season have been annoying in this one's pretty man yeah I mean awesome though man like overall I think they have really improved a lot clearly for sure. I didn't expect George Russell

[00:18:45] to get the pole honestly like and that too it was pretty cool right I think this was after like 30 years or something we got to some 97 European GP or something that like the first place tied

[00:18:56] something in that yeah so apparently they tied to the like the thousand second but FI it does have the actual results which goes to like the tenths of the thousandth of a fraction wow but they don't disclose it because it's within the like margin of error so

[00:19:15] maybe just one fun they should tell them okay actually yeah but actually I wish I wish I think I saw this Todd guy talking about this in Ted's notebook I wonder if the data is probably somewhere out on reddit on Twitter as well

[00:19:37] yeah I'd love to see I'd love to see who actually was ahead but yeah Max crossed the checkered flag after Russell had to start P2 it was I mean he was beating himself after the race as well

[00:19:52] I think like he's not up for that pressure yet yeah yeah yeah he succumbed to it that's yeah and beyond some as well I think like the moment where I sort of like felt this was when

[00:20:08] he was chasing P.S.T towards the last 2015 laps and most people to get by and then Hamilton comes in and says you know what let me show you how it's done he overtaken

[00:20:20] right Russell yeah and then goes on to take P.S.T and then yes he has a come in and takes both of them sure that's fine but in that moment Hamilton was like you know

[00:20:30] what it means absolutely yeah but that part was super exciting to watch me like at that point I was like oh damn like Hamilton awesome like he would have both of them and then Russell comes back and you

[00:20:41] know like it's just yeah totally exactly this race was like something else I had to literally pause go back and watch again because I was like missing moments and like you know this is so much going on

[00:20:53] every year yeah just insane but that overtaken P.S.T that Russell did okay so many means I was I apparently heard that calling Osama bin Rasul of something because every overtaken that he does

[00:21:08] I'm not every but like whenever he's like up I head somewhere any overtaken that he does is pretty violent oh yeah and even that that's what we're getting where Russell's engineer when he was about to

[00:21:20] overtake Hamilton he said that you're racing but we can still keep it clean he's still kind of swore you know yeah I really thought they were crashing but yeah but I mean that's why I mean I don't

[00:21:33] think he I think like he cracks under pressure but maybe not I mean he's a world class driver for short but early that's what it looks like on camera so this race was so beautiful at so many

[00:21:45] points because for for a very long time there was this whole this there was this whole play of Russ and Max and and and Norris sort of like fighting for the P1 2 3 sort of like position

[00:22:00] and then once all of that sort of like somewhere settled and ended it cut to like the whole alons or Hamilton fight which never really went away they just switched to a different cam but Hamilton

[00:22:11] was always 0.5 seconds within of alonso and that that went for a long time so much so that even after the post race and during like the press conference Hamilton was like yeah I was

[00:22:23] up in the pack and everything is fine but a stuck behind a launch of a long time as one would expect like the new like he knew is of course I'm pretty sort of like get out of this yeah it was pretty

[00:22:37] pretty weird when you were stuck there for so long but then at the same time it's awesome that even after being stuck there for a while he was still able to you know get right right up there like

[00:22:48] he was almost p3 just lost it so like Kudos to him he had a pretty good drive actually yeah even though he says that it was like not a good weekend they feel it is one of his I would say

[00:22:59] like honestly this was an underrated drive of him like he qualified pretty low and still was like pretty fast later on so Kudos Kudos to him but oh by the way like a bit of a bit of tangent here did you

[00:23:13] see the hot ones episode with Hamilton no I have it oh no it's still nice yeah I mean for someone who sort of like looks up to Sam as an interviewer right sort of like really want to but yeah I haven't

[00:23:29] been able to Sean Sean sorry yeah but it's a good one the best part I like is that he really beat Sean dude like it was I did not expect that oh is it oh yeah yeah you know actually what happened

[00:23:43] is like at like third source of something he really got a he was sweating like happens in the sweating he like drank some milk and stuff and I think I don't know maybe like he went into his

[00:23:53] re-smord or something after that or he burnt off all his his words and I don't know what and after that he was like okay just bring it on I don't care like even the bomb was easy yeah dude he was like

[00:24:05] pouring the bomb what is okay who was there who else was there on the top mix McLaren oh yeah let's talk about it oh dude so much happening the McLaren do you

[00:24:18] had a weird day yeah yeah one race you have the safety car to your advantage yeah the somewhere put it on I mean but almost all the on the fence he could have stuck it was very

[00:24:32] tough as coming out of the pit lane was the wet patch um it was was obviously tough to get those tires into those those tracks but um uh and if you would have stuck it would have been

[00:24:45] very mazul yeah but not awesome awesome man it was just so good like you know the very fact that this race there was a three way fight for P1 with itself I cannot comprehend like why

[00:24:57] watching the race I was so you know so happy to watch that like the three people weighing for P1 yeah and it's like at one point a max was chasing a Russell and then he made a mistake like

[00:25:09] that I didn't know that was the only mistake he made there is like he lost control a little than he greganded but then uh Norris was right up on his ass right there was like these switched

[00:25:22] and it was awesome man and then even the fact that when Norris did get the lead he was almost like well or 13 seconds ahead yeah yeah right before before sergeant um uh sergeant did a sergeant

[00:25:38] yeah and so with that pace I was like probably you know even if he's P2 at some point he'll probably have the pace to sort of like get ahead but yeah never happens so

[00:25:50] but the clarino's a flopped the strategy as well I mean it's not just safety car I feel it was a mistake doing those extra laps on that interpret I had they should have was it

[00:25:59] he was gaining it on his because because they told him like you are coming into the pit go crazy and and he was gaining time on those two yes but then at the same time I think he had

[00:26:13] two extra laps I suppose yes but I think because of that it happened that like they both reached there at the exact time and then he had to go through the wet patch maybe one extra

[00:26:24] good ever yeah yeah they maybe could have done just one like just of course do the opposite of what you're up into doing but that one extra lap probably caused them sure no that position

[00:26:35] probably yeah would have should have could have but yeah yeah yeah but strategy was at play here man I loved that and you know it was a very different kind of strategy if he like

[00:26:48] it was not a standard tire strategy like everybody was doing in terms of course at the end everybody was going to be demirards that was there but the very fact that you know what I really

[00:27:00] loved about max in this race is and you know after the very long time I really felt that he really had to fight for this race like two win the race yes it was not his two win but he played

[00:27:11] the long game very well like he didn't panic while Russell was up ahead in the front like he wasn't trying to chase him down too much we did of course at one point but then he backed off

[00:27:22] as well yeah same with Norris as well he kept his cool like he was driving pretty well and like I think he managed to erase very like probably in one the race it was difficult

[00:27:34] yeah yeah I don't know if he actually avoided the curves towards the end because it did come onto the radio to say that you know he's having some some issue with the car and it's sort of

[00:27:46] like flattening out and he's got a little suspension as well yeah so he's got a sort of like avoid all the curves going ahead and I don't know if he did that if he did that then he's sort of

[00:27:56] like won with some some personal play as well but not just Norris right like even even the Astrid was sort of like a heads down and into the race yes he was fighting for that podium very

[00:28:11] well couldn't get it at one point when when it was Max Norris and P.A.S.D and they were close enough I think he was told do you think you can fight Max which I think was a question to see if

[00:28:26] they want to give the team orders which I don't think they would have but sort of like either testing the waters yeah and I don't like it if it was if it was in that fashion just a

[00:28:36] flag tell him that hey you're not up there so don't you know like right Norris by seeing like he's gonna see a car in his rearview mirror and be confused so either back off because I don't

[00:28:51] know what what was at play with that tone but I like I like the maturity from from P.A.S.D at that point because he was like I gotta keep the Russell behind a good focus on keeping Russell

[00:29:04] behind me though let me concentrate on that. So it sounded like you know what I don't know what's happening ahead of me let me just take care of this first eventually he lost it but yeah I do

[00:29:16] him I'm happy for how the whole game plan didn't work out with Alpine and his his his his profile there and his suit leave and he dodged a bullet like definitely so much like not just a

[00:29:31] bullet like a firing sport yeah it's been since I was just thinking okay like while watching the race when Norris came out in the track right the first but from here I was like and that to

[00:29:44] like Norris had that same experience like twice for the two-pitch stop where Stapness just coming and he's out of the pit after the first pit stop I think he came off right after Russell

[00:29:55] like in front of a PS3 and I was just thinking he PS3 kind of gave him the position like he kind of backed off if so that's why I felt at least if he was not his teammate I don't think he would have

[00:30:10] gotten that position yeah and at that moment I thought if only Okhan was here yeah some Michael base sort of shit would have seen like some it was yeah and I think there was some trauma

[00:30:30] being gone with him as well I didn't care about it I sort of like I got to I go back to the Brazilian 2018 shit whatever it was right like Max trying to punch Ocon that point was like

[00:30:49] dude what I should guy a Max man and some I'm like you should have punched him then yeah exactly I'm not punching you for today I'm punching our pioneers from the top. And yeah I think there was some drama there they switched with ghastly red and team orders

[00:31:13] dude apparently the internet trolls Ocon so much the issue if you should like search twitter and Reddit for it like I fuck dude I feel somewhere in the corner of my heart I do

[00:31:25] feel sad for Ocon to kiss him even if it's too much shit on the internet and nobody likes him but yeah you go out and blatantly say your team is shit oh how exactly

[00:31:40] you yeah but I mean he's getting out anyways like how does he expect that the team was going to like you know like fever or whatever but that's why he said I'm being the good boy right

[00:31:57] and listen to you so he who are shit yeah but keep me you know one thing I think we touched on this a little earlier about album but I wanted to bring up like I don't understand why

[00:32:16] Mercedes does not approve of album because I feel he would be a very good fit for that second seat like he has demonstrated that he is very good he does those moves pretty well

[00:32:29] this is not the first time as well that he has you know like made moves like these uh is he I don't know is he he is he Mercedes Academy or Red Bull look it I think like Red Bull

[00:32:39] no because he was corner yeah vouched for him for Williams or was it totally vouched for him for Williams I think it was on that it was on that yeah he was Mercedes I mean sorry Red Bull

[00:32:50] Red Bull look okay that makes sense then yeah I mean I see here's here's my thing I feel like with with the sad rumours that science might be signing for Williams yeah um if that's true

[00:33:05] or boy I feel sad for him but sure maybe that yeah dude you can't go from yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[00:33:13] much lighter and to Ferrari to Williams right yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly but any of you exactly uh I feel like if that's true um maybe and and obviously with Mercedes

[00:33:26] seat opening up which I don't think they've yet sort of like rumorized on who's who's gonna be but me they've been pretty tight about it yeah maybe I don't know where uh alons are

[00:33:38] contract stands but we alons are goes to Mercedes that's interesting which opens up the astins seat which probably gets to Albon and um I don't know who replace a sergeant but yeah maybe that's possible but I think Alonso is contracted for one two more years

[00:34:02] oh yeah yeah yeah then then yeah with you maybe a calbon two Mercedes yeah and is but man like I still like we talked about this but that overtake one move think of you

[00:34:15] oh yeah yeah I instantly as I watched it I paused I went back I saw it again because I saw it just oh shit wow I mean yeah that's uh it looks everything right like not just the overtakes like you know

[00:34:30] the car control the clean racing execution very clean like cutting them both off at the right chicane so that there's no chance they can turn in you could come to it just yeah yeah

[00:34:43] oh well executed yeah chef's kiss I think like we're able to appreciate this one overtake because of how engaging the whole we can the whole race was and not just like at the top of

[00:34:59] the pack would like a three way battle but like even in the midge even in the the pack yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[00:35:05] that one point was overtaking uh which was good to see because he was up to like P12 starting from P19 or 20 I forget like who started where in the pits but I presume both as was P19 right

[00:35:18] yeah I do it the whole the whole 15 people race was was brilliant and there was actually one more very good overtake with didn't get much attention was uh gas理 overtaking pairs that

[00:35:32] was also a very nice overtake oh yes yeah yeah similar overtake like same corner he kind of uh yeah cut him off uh at that chic like not exactly chicane that's quickly chicane kind of a turn

[00:35:47] go do yeah I gotta I gotta read this this one point from you which summarizes the whole thing this race was so good that even the Romanian Prime Minister was watching this race as opposed to

[00:36:00] like his voting results which were coming out at the same time exactly so he's like he's like he's like he's like I can't miss this and he actually won by like a 50% margin or something

[00:36:15] exactly just a good one man this whole I feel this Sunday itself was like insane with the Indefacistan match yeah what a match what a fighter setter with when the French open finale

[00:36:31] what a match there as well I mean's where I've lost it a bit at the end but what a match there as well what a race as reading the tweet from Anand Maindra who was who was good-going the boy is

[00:36:47] in blue and in cricket and then his his his his thread had a bunch of other messages where apparently some also national games and stuff's going on and a bunch of national records

[00:36:59] and personal records were also broken in Dragonfield and some of the other sports I see I gotta go back and we'll probably put it in the show notes as well for whatever happened but if you bring all of that

[00:37:10] collectively together what a Sunday for sport yeah mega Sunday definitely and you know to top off this like piece of cake with a cherry I think there was this really awesome moment at the grid walk

[00:37:26] I think where I saw this where Martin Rall was like interviewing this really old lady she was in a wheelchair and like she is basically the first American woman to participate in a motorsports like in car racing first and then she switched to motorcycle racing after that

[00:37:47] oh wow and yeah and I think she had like right now she was 87 years old which is insane like she put like worst times the lady in the wheelchair that yeah Maddie McGee yeah oh wow that's her name

[00:38:03] and it's insane like she started racing because her friend none other than Steve McQueen suggested her that she should raise oh wow this just keeps getting back then exactly she has met Jim Clark

[00:38:18] she's been the first woman to be racing Baha 1000 which is one of the most insane races like if anybody like follows that yeah we'll probably make a deal on what that is but yeah wow

[00:38:28] this is so cool so man it's amazing yeah right and she was there and like Martin asked her like how excited are you and she's like wow this has been a dream for me to like come here on the

[00:38:39] paddock and yeah that's what she mentioned like she had also met Jim Clark back in some year when she had gone to watch a race wow imagine man that this bundle fights to talk with

[00:38:54] pop-up exactly and look at this exactly 0% I did you do what I oh shit that's awesome but it's legendary man seriously yeah I guess that's a good place to end so on that bombshell

[00:39:09] water weekend we've been blown away yeah we hope the rest of the season stays this tight it's fun to watch every there is hope honestly like there is last few races I am proven wrong I

[00:39:22] think that this like this whole season is going to be a straight right off yeah red wool but clearly not it's not a clearance right there frari I mean right there so everything so yeah and if they communicate to their driver better right because you're losing significant time

[00:39:43] tell me how much if I'm asking you how much of a cycle okay you need this but yeah worst it is also getting them game together finally so yeah let's see some good podiums hopefully some great fighting all through the grid yeah yeah we just hope like

[00:40:01] where the races are as engaging and as fun as this one was intermittent rains somewhere to sort of like add to the drama to the flavor strategies out of it so that you know you're looking

[00:40:13] not glad seeing happening not just on the track but also in the pitch because you've got to see you know however you want to react and behave to things and yeah just just a whole some whole

[00:40:24] race from all the all the verticals so yeah with that on that bombshell these are your hosts signing off bye bye
