2024 Dutch GP

[00:00:00] I think Sarjan's mission in F1 is to see how he can fuck up the car every weekend.

[00:00:06] This weekend is like, you think I'm gonna crash? I'm gonna burn it.

[00:00:18] Perfect. I think that's the... That's what he did this weekend.

[00:00:30] Hello, hello and welcome back after the summer break.

[00:00:35] To F1 Fanfiction, a show about race weekend reviews, rather the Sunday review, which...

[00:00:41] We are back after three weeks or four weeks or whatever it is.

[00:00:45] But what's interesting is we're also gonna get like an autumn break this time in a few races time.

[00:00:50] Oh yeah. That's surprising actually.

[00:00:52] Right? And then I mean, it's a break for us, but I think like it's just no race

[00:00:58] so the teams are gonna be busy with whatever they do, it doesn't matter.

[00:01:01] We are your hosts. I am Akash and I'm Sarang.

[00:01:04] Whatever the teams are going to be busy with, one thing's for sure,

[00:01:09] RBR is losing ground and I don't know how much they can come back. What do you think?

[00:01:14] Yeah man, like what happened? Like what's happening man?

[00:01:19] It's... I have certain theories and I'm sure like people have been

[00:01:24] speculating a lot of things over the summer break.

[00:01:27] Our friend Creeks Carbureau as well has put in a post about it. I don't know if you saw that,

[00:01:32] but whole thing about FIA changing their rules in terms of passive like adaptive,

[00:01:38] you know, brake pressure and what is it?

[00:01:42] In break? Oh do you not know about it?

[00:01:44] No no.

[00:01:44] Let's talk about it. It's quite interesting actually.

[00:01:46] So it turns out that FIA in their rules always had that you can't have like active,

[00:01:52] differential braking like between your left and right tires.

[00:01:56] But like the loophole was that it can't be active, but that means it can be passive.

[00:02:01] So it is theorized that Red Bull was using like a spring mass and in a T-Volve which like

[00:02:11] distributes the brake pressure, the hydraulic brake pressure to both the tires

[00:02:14] rather the wheels and using it as a spring mass when you turn, it will like you know because of

[00:02:23] the G forces it will be pushed out. So you know the inner tire will get more brake pressure and

[00:02:28] the outer tire will receive lesser. So that way they can help the car turn in and that's what

[00:02:34] it is theorized that they were doing and like after FIA changed that maybe you know something

[00:02:39] backroom deals, same thing what Ferrari as well you know and what 2018.

[00:02:46] So it's speculated that that's what happened and you know that's why they

[00:02:50] filled in the loophole and Red Bull has suddenly lost performance.

[00:02:54] Interesting. That's an interesting one. Maybe Horner's it's that meme right?

[00:02:59] Like maybe Horner's now looking into the mirror and saying change your fucking car.

[00:03:06] Yeah, FIA made him change it now he has to change it back.

[00:03:11] That and then the other thing the other thing too is there's this interview with Natalie Portman

[00:03:16] and obviously there are a few other ones but like Natalie Portman asked Horner on how long before

[00:03:23] you know the team snaps at Perez. Wait wait wait Natalie Portman the actors wait no what?

[00:03:31] Sorry Natalie Pinkman. Yeah Pinkman yeah okay. Natalie Pinkman my bad sorry yeah Natalie Pinkman.

[00:03:36] I was like wait what's happening? Too close right so but yeah anyway so yeah she asked the question

[00:03:42] and then Horner turned it back to her saying like oh okay so if not him then who else? So it

[00:03:48] sounds like basically they're stuck with Perez and at least Horner isn't able to think of

[00:03:57] who else if not him. Right sure but right now there are contracts I mean they could have taken science.

[00:04:07] Yeah that's what I thought as well but I guess science wouldn't also be too keen on it maybe I

[00:04:11] don't know. That's the thing that I'm now thinking about right like was it Horner not wanting

[00:04:19] science or what is it science not wanting to go to RBR? I don't know I think there are

[00:04:25] a lot of factors I think there have been rumors first of all the I think science hadn't left on

[00:04:30] good terms when he left. I think there was some drama with that old guy Elmint Marco.

[00:04:37] A zombie that lives. Yeah exactly and I think so like overall he's not too popular in the

[00:04:44] Red Bull camp because of that and I think also it would be related to they must be offering

[00:04:49] him maybe for a year and he wanted more long term. Anyways but yeah I mean between science and

[00:04:54] Perez you any day go for science and not Perez. Yeah the championship battle for at least the

[00:05:01] constructors getting pretty tight with like McLaren getting closer and closer by the day

[00:05:07] it's so beautiful I mean the only thing that I really laughed at were two things I saw Lando

[00:05:17] obviously struggling to get in front of Max but when he did boy he was 22 seconds ahead of him.

[00:05:23] Yeah right and then I did not expect that at all right. The table's turning completely right

[00:05:30] and then the other thing is last lap I mean second but last lap Hamilton's putting in the

[00:05:36] fastest lap and then the radio commentary comes on saying Lando is making purple in sector one

[00:05:44] he's still going fast and then I and then I see like he's gotten the fastest lap and I'm waiting

[00:05:49] for others to cross the line because obviously someone else is going to take over because they

[00:05:53] got like 40 laps old tires. Exactly nobody's able to take it and I'm like wow and that's when

[00:05:59] I really laughed I'm like what is this happening? Exactly and that too like Hamilton was on

[00:06:07] fresh or softs and I had completely expected that he would you know put in another fastest lap

[00:06:12] right after that but yeah well it turns out I've heard that apparently Lando was first of all he

[00:06:20] went for it without like team you know telling him anything he was charging his batteries from

[00:06:27] like lap 66. Wow. He put his engine word like into complete recharge so that he can go for it.

[00:06:36] Yeah exactly.

[00:06:39] Wow yeah man yeah man you have that advantage why not take it L but speaking of the 22

[00:06:46] second gap or whatever right like this isn't the first time we've seen Max complaining

[00:06:52] about the car something's definitely wrong apparently his car wasn't turning at all I

[00:06:57] don't know what it's all about but yeah no clue. Yeah I saw those videos floating around

[00:07:03] like he's his steering is like full lock you know and like his tires are barely turned. Yeah

[00:07:09] that's steer by wire yeah I don't know man I think like as soon as Adrian knew he signed with Aston

[00:07:15] Martin I I don't know did he just like take things away like Red Bulls just lost or what?

[00:07:26] It seems like maybe he had he had all the documentation and he just like fucked off with it so

[00:07:33] everybody just crammed like that. So this is the accelerator or wait is this the brake? Wait what

[00:07:40] does this do so yeah I don't know and I don't know I mean there isn't any news on who's gonna

[00:07:46] replace Adrian at RBR but yeah maybe it's time for Max to leave as well like where is his team

[00:07:55] going honestly like they don't have like just a few months ago they were like the top dogs

[00:08:01] suddenly something happened already in fighting and I don't know yeah. And then Adrian knew he was

[00:08:07] going to Aston Martin and then there's this other clip of after I don't know after the race or

[00:08:13] after the quali inspector Nando was checking out McLaren's rear and not just like just you

[00:08:20] know seeing but like he actually sat down lean there's a whole good 20 seconds of doing that

[00:08:26] I'm like dude don't worry go chill just drive. No maybe maybe Newie gave him like a side quest

[00:08:36] like go and you know like look at all the car parts and put back. You don't finish ahead let

[00:08:43] anyone who wants to overtake you and that's what he was doing during the race as well right

[00:08:46] like people were overtaking him right left he's like Lando see there are 10 races left

[00:08:52] I'm coming to you next year so let everyone pass but while they are passing take a look at

[00:08:58] their their settings on their on their steering you know whatever you can see in terms of like

[00:09:04] the side of the car and because you finish later stop at every car to see how they're

[00:09:09] aro is then let's talk yeah yeah exactly yeah I think that's what's happening but yeah

[00:09:16] McLaren man wow I think shots have been fired by Lando right shots have been fired

[00:09:22] simply lovely huh oh is it I don't know he said that on radio after winning the race

[00:09:28] what's the reference to this so the references was Tappin said simply lovely when he won I think

[00:09:35] his um was it 2021 race first race I think or something in red bull or whatever oh is it

[00:09:41] and yeah so it was like uh I'm coming for you kind of a thing it seems like yeah I

[00:09:48] like it's still a far-fetched idea I mean it'll have to take Lando sort of like winning almost all

[00:09:57] races with like max not p2 but like really doing those three four five that reminds me of it's always

[00:10:04] sunny and little fear you know Charlie in front of the charts and you know

[00:10:12] yeah yeah yeah the theory is by which Lando can win yeah I don't know I I I think he's not got it

[00:10:21] but he thinks he's got it yeah sure enjoy the win with simply love but man first grand slam though

[00:10:28] like credit where credit stew pool fastest lap win finally yeah finally and and that

[00:10:37] were dominant win yeah that's true but still a losing streak of that lap one turn one star

[00:10:46] yes that's true that's true which is what is this eighth eighth time now yeah end time at this point

[00:10:53] I forget but here's my thing anyone listening technically if you can help us understand please

[00:10:59] do because I've been trying to find this on f1 technical another places to it so the reason he

[00:11:05] says the first one the reaction time between Lando and max was was the same if not almost the same

[00:11:12] but Lando says he had way more wheel spin at that start and he was just basically burning rubber

[00:11:20] while while max had grip and he was able to get away why why why was this the case

[00:11:27] my only thing that this dumb mind can understand is just the few extra seconds that Lando had to

[00:11:33] wait more than max while the grid was forming before the start and that's sort of just cooled

[00:11:41] the tires a bit more down for the grip to have gone away that's the only thing I could think of

[00:11:47] but yeah anyone listening dm to us tag us anywhere we'd love to know what's happening you know one

[00:11:53] of the reasons could be is that right after the turn one yeah when the leaderboard like

[00:11:58] was showing the places gained and lost yeah every alternate person gained a position yeah

[00:12:03] so basically everybody off the racing line that was having better conditions it seems like

[00:12:09] that's that's a very good point you make and that's one of the comments I read on on on read it as

[00:12:14] well I forget I mean if I find it I'll attack the source but yes you are right everyone on the

[00:12:20] right hand side was able to get a better grip and start versus on the left hand side and

[00:12:24] one of the reasons that someone made was because of the rubber that was left off because that's the

[00:12:30] racing line with some of the dew and the rain that would have fallen over between like the sessions

[00:12:37] which would have sort of made that line a bit less grippy than the right hand side I see I see

[00:12:44] yeah I mean I don't know all of this is just theory at this point but yeah but it was like

[00:12:48] almost consistent throughout the grid like it was so weird to see that like each each person on the

[00:12:54] right like over to the left yeah yeah and Perez unfortunately was on the left and I'm like dude

[00:13:02] this guy over taken again of course of course like wow whether confusion was on the point was

[00:13:10] why was Piastri not able to overtake at all he came out saying I take full responsibility

[00:13:17] of it and I'm like dude yeah at this point of the car is right I can't take responsibility for it so

[00:13:23] you will have to yeah it's weird yeah man that's it's okay though I feel like uh he overall he's

[00:13:31] been doing pretty good in this season and I think yeah it's maybe you can just count it off as

[00:13:37] like one of the off races is it any yard maybe yeah I don't know but who knows like yeah whatever

[00:13:45] but then you know it's like you you always will have a second driver who is somewhat like that and I

[00:13:51] think considering how little experience he has I think he's overall been doing pretty well so yeah

[00:13:58] I think if they had anybody more competitive of course they would have more issues with like

[00:14:03] Lando and him as we saw in the infamous what was that last last race Belgian GP was it oh by

[00:14:13] the way that yeah that's where Lando lost the championship but yeah yeah exactly yeah and now

[00:14:18] now they're making all these theories he needs to win everything sprint races the normal races when

[00:14:24] all oh man yeah man McLaren has jumped up so much like so yeah I saw a comparison between

[00:14:33] like the difference between max and Lando yeah at the end of last year at after summer break

[00:14:39] yeah and this year and it's like last year there was he was like minus 48 seconds behind max and this

[00:14:45] this year he was like 20 seconds ahead of max yeah I know it's definitely been interesting and

[00:14:52] I don't I mean I look at Zach Brown and I don't see him as that cutthroat guy who could win

[00:14:58] the way they are winning right now but yeah what's interesting and this is a good segue into it

[00:15:03] is the school down room video of Charles asking max how many seconds did he finish behind him and

[00:15:13] max says 20 22 and and if you've seen lie to me anybody who's seen lie to me you see these

[00:15:20] micro expressions but but on Charles's face you see this huge expression did mega the mega

[00:15:27] expression that's impossible to miss oh I just caught up to you guys there's this new guy who's

[00:15:35] just taken 22 seconds ahead I give up you know at this point he is in a very awesome state of

[00:15:44] mind that's what it feels to me like he's completely given up on anything yeah all he's happy

[00:15:50] with is I got a podium I'm happy that's yeah but still very weirdly and a good strategy like out of

[00:15:58] desire and yes man both the drivers gained positions like luck went from six to third I think right and

[00:16:06] signs from what tenth to fifth oh yeah yeah this is this like peak Ferrari I mean yesterday

[00:16:13] if you are a Ferrari fan or if you've ever been a Ferrari fan I'm sure yesterday was orgasmic for

[00:16:19] you because strategy on point execution on point no fuck ups anywhere no I'm stupid right

[00:16:28] because they did that undercut and they were like like there was the first one to come into the pits

[00:16:32] and I was like oh damn they're doing this it's gone and then they get into the pits a good

[00:16:37] pit stop I'm like okay this is a good pit stop please don't fuck it up anywhere else now you've

[00:16:42] got because because you started seeing Russell getting paranoid they started pitting him sooner

[00:16:47] than they should have and all of that I'm like okay you're in a good spot please just be but yeah

[00:16:54] it was good to see whatever ps3 had a bad day or Charles had a better day yeah at least that podium

[00:17:00] stuck so yeah good you know what like this makes me worry a little though I feel that they have

[00:17:06] used up all their skill and luck in this race and they'll have nothing left from onza

[00:17:11] yeah done right they used all of it up for Monaco in in first part of the season and now they are

[00:17:18] done with second part of the season first race itself yeah they're done maybe we'll find out

[00:17:25] we'll find out or maybe they have a car built just from Monaco as well sorry for Monza you know

[00:17:30] who knows maybe maybe but speaking of Ferrari I want to talk about the b team dude that alien

[00:17:38] vomit team has just gone to shit at one point I was like sergeants p15 wait who exactly whose

[00:17:45] then who's p18 19 20 and I'm like green cars I'm like what is happening because it's because it

[00:17:53] wasn't so here's the thing the poly was good though for them yes weird like right and that's

[00:17:59] where my that's where my voice gets this shrill but I'm like the start wasn't bad at one point

[00:18:04] I saw boat as an indicator of fighting somewhere at p14 p15 ish I don't know man lap 60 I turn my eyes

[00:18:13] to the grid and I'm like both vomits are down there yeah I think maybe they're just

[00:18:19] in a weird limbo right now with like management change and everything they know they're becoming

[00:18:24] Audi or whatever but what's the list I don't know just in shambles like take the summer break

[00:18:30] and come back in February just retire the cars no they can't do that sponsor obligations dude

[00:18:39] they'll have to return all the money yeah then at that point be like us don't pay don't pay get your

[00:18:59] some so I wasn't falling to be honest this season I'm already zoned out even though it's getting a bit

[00:19:05] tighter but yeah I saw a reel that Haas may not be able to race as Pat Monza I'm like okay what happened

[00:19:13] like they're getting their stuff confiscated wait I'm like wait what now I was invested

[00:19:18] I'm like they haven't paid money to Mazapin that they owed and which they promised him to race

[00:19:25] I'm like I would nine million dollars right or eight billion dollars something like that yeah

[00:19:30] I'm like wow and my first thought my first thought was the fuck machine guy the fuck smash guy

[00:19:41] right like right yeah peanuts at home just what you all the drama yeah dude he's podcasting now

[00:19:49] he's podcasting yeah I'd love to join him and imagine us doing banter with him but anyways yeah

[00:19:57] so yeah I mean the the the good part for at least both the drivers is that they can be lapped

[00:20:04] again into turn one by by five drivers at a time because the teams paid they're nine million

[00:20:13] yeah yeah why is it why is Haas and shady sponsors always a thing like always I don't get it it's just

[00:20:23] and it's so weird like so it turns out like a russian sponsor yeah got a judgment against an

[00:20:31] american team in switzerland and the judgment was like what do you say it was enforced in netherland

[00:20:44] but yeah it's always Haas and shady stuff and even the Haas drivers man at one point I'm

[00:20:51] seeing the grid p14 p15 wow that's nice kmag obviously leading the train and then I switch my

[00:20:59] eyes and then I see like kmag led the train and I'm like wait what just happened they just took a right

[00:21:07] turn here how did he lose five positions yeah man like five wide turning into three wide into that

[00:21:14] right hand turn yeah I don't know did he blink right dude what happened it was it was completely

[00:21:21] like on a highway when somebody is like camping on the left lane and and then suddenly like when they

[00:21:29] move over and like the long line of cars that are related behind them seriously fast them oh man it was

[00:21:36] so weird but I think even even there there was some weird thing going on like kmag like he wanted

[00:21:44] to again try and not let people ahead so he like slowed down his car into that corner a little

[00:21:48] yeah and actually it created a little dangerous situation where albonne had to like suddenly break

[00:21:53] a lot because of that and then he called that out as well so yeah whatever but he lost his positions

[00:22:01] yeah no but speaking of albonne as well I mean albonne's been juicing I forgot all that williams

[00:22:06] and I'm happy to see science at least going into some car that has some juice in it

[00:22:13] yeah he'll not hopefully consistently finish behind p15 so oh do you know what happened with

[00:22:21] vcarb what was uki in p17 and like rickardo p12 and I have you heard from backdoor channels

[00:22:28] where rickardo's trying to pay the whole team and uki off with that extra 30 million he got

[00:22:33] from the clarin so that he can make a good res you made to go back to red bull to fight max

[00:22:38] who he first in the original position left yeah run away from yeah I don't know I it's weird

[00:22:48] I'm also hearing that Logan sergeant might get kicked off before the end of this about time

[00:22:55] the room was either it's going to be mixu macker or liam lawson I don't know oh nice yeah good

[00:23:03] both good prospects at least definitely better than sergeant

[00:23:09] yeah I think I think sergeants mission in f1 is to see how he can fuck up the car every weekend

[00:23:18] this weekend is like you think I'm gonna crash I'm gonna burn

[00:23:29] and

[00:23:30] I think that's the that's what he did right that's what he did this weekend

[00:23:34] he's making the most out of it he's like okay you're gonna kick me out anyways right so I'll make

[00:23:39] it I'll make it worth it yeah I'll make you pay for it rather yeah yeah dude seriously

[00:23:45] and speaking of smoke dude I feel so bad I feel so bad for everyone who's gotten like

[00:23:53] the the grid view or the podium seats on the grandstand paid like the highest box after paddock

[00:24:01] seats on on the grid where as soon as the first person crosses there's this whole firework line

[00:24:10] and everything that goes up ensues everything in smoke out there it doesn't matter who crossed

[00:24:16] the line after it because you're not gonna able to you're not going to be able to see it

[00:24:20] dude this is I'm eating popcorn at my home watching these weeks I'm like wow yeah

[00:24:27] some poor chap working all his life saved money to go for the race and watch it like

[00:24:34] from the front line at grandstand and smoke and imagine the guy sitting on turn one seeing

[00:24:43] all this wall of smoke and being able to see like everyone just cross

[00:24:48] I'm doing that oh man seriously yeah and what the fuck was that trophy dude it was so ugly

[00:24:57] my god that was the ugliest trophy I've ever seen they couldn't afford a scrapbook scrapbook or

[00:25:03] whatever that is so just had everyone write it on the trophy I did some toddler right it like

[00:25:09] it's so weird I heard it was some some fucking artists who I don't know artist apparently that's

[00:25:16] his art style yeah how can you how can you call that art man that's like my kid who's 18 months

[00:25:21] is is also an artist actually at this point you should see our walls wow because so jealous in

[00:25:28] this grave right now it seemed like the retarded version of the Hungarian GP trophy

[00:25:34] speaking of retarded things that have happened how did how did Hamilton gain six positions but

[00:25:40] Russell lost three I have no idea dude like I think that that pit stop thing messed up with him a bit

[00:25:50] yeah yeah that's one thing that's the only thing I can think of yeah you're right yeah

[00:25:54] but other than that yeah I don't know I don't know what went wrong but Hamilton like amazing six

[00:25:59] positions I mean first of all he did so poorly in qualifying what he got out in Q2 right like P11

[00:26:06] he started I think yeah and but he also got some penalty for impeding someone I think Ricardo

[00:26:12] oh right he started yeah he started with a penalty I see I see okay makes sense yeah but

[00:26:20] most of these I think that somehow it seems like they're almost as fast as Red Bull a little lesser

[00:26:26] around there I don't know at least than Paris for sure yeah yeah I don't know I mean I think like

[00:26:35] the game started guarding interesting with like pit stops everywhere because that's where

[00:26:40] it started feeling strategies were being played not really any good overtakes throughout the

[00:26:47] race overall I think it was it was a bit boring but the made stop made that yeah really

[00:26:54] um and then as it's the sixth race without a safety car so nobody is getting injured no

[00:27:01] money's burning Arjun does not doing his job dude like he should have done during the race exactly

[00:27:08] who I mean somebody needs to tell him dude he burns someone else's car with his car so

[00:27:13] every every race is a new challenge right like he's unlocking he's on a mission he's on a quest

[00:27:20] it's those dude the game achievements you have right like that's what he's trying to get exactly

[00:27:25] burn a car done yeah burn two cars burn two cars burn second car with your car

[00:27:35] but it's the first game where you get two notifications at the same time you get achievement

[00:27:40] unlocked and wasted at the same time I don't know man I mean Dutch GP they say it's a good track and

[00:27:50] good racing and good weekend and blah blah blah but I think like a sec last last year I know it rained

[00:27:57] so it got interesting but unless like something like that happens it's a good track to drive on

[00:28:03] maybe with all the backing and all the turns and you know the camera angles man we have to talk

[00:28:08] about those they were so good it's like GoPro on the tail wing with like the level horizon on yeah

[00:28:15] and you can see those cars go but like you're still on horizon locked some some amazing views

[00:28:22] yeah the good part about it is maybe from the driving point of view where you know you can

[00:28:26] take multiple lines on this track is not just one racing line which we saw Alonzo do like

[00:28:32] even on turn three on that super bank he he quite a lot of times went on the inside

[00:28:37] rather than the outside steeper bank a good track in that sense but I don't know I mean

[00:28:42] the the weekends here haven't been that that fun or promising yeah it's just like the

[00:28:48] created places that's all like the dominance continues one person or the other that's that's

[00:28:52] pretty much what we're seeing yeah like so yeah not the interesting for me was the pit stop and

[00:28:59] the the mid-pack to the lower pack that actually did some racing let's see any who does next right

[00:29:06] yeah monza's next temple of speed yeah temple of speed again I don't know not many overtakes

[00:29:12] because there aren't many turns just three shekains and two loops I love the track

[00:29:19] because because you know aero starts playing such a big role you have those g forces going

[00:29:25] into those turns the the u banks and all yeah it's gonna be a good weekend we might see something

[00:29:31] spicy though because like see imagine because landers of course going to mess up turn one yeah

[00:29:36] worst happen is gonna go for it you might see another mounting yeah yeah yeah max is on a different

[00:29:43] quest he wants to mount every car you heard it here first as everything you have and we've

[00:29:52] proved time and again so yeah all right folks but yeah see you at monza hopefully we can get

[00:29:59] a guest for you yeah to be honest like both of us have been a bit zonked out this season

[00:30:04] this the season in itself is a bit weird we want some spice some good racing some some 2016 17

[00:30:13] ish sort of close racing championship fights hopefully lander's getting there

[00:30:18] constructors getting there it's gonna go away from rpr we'll see where it goes until the next

[00:30:24] race these are your hosts signing off bye bye
