2024 Italian GP

[00:00:00] [SPEAKER_02]: is the last incident for Sargent, because that's very random in itself.

[00:00:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Now that you've invoked his name, we have to talk about his replacement man.

[00:00:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Frank Kuhlap into Man that I've waited to come from all of a sudden,

[00:00:15] [SPEAKER_04]: P12 in say in mid seasons with from F2 where he was about P6 in the championships,

[00:00:21] [SPEAKER_04]: so you're not put potting in there anything and he just like was able to do it and say in the end.

[00:00:34] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm welcome back to F1 Fanfiction, a show about the Sunday Race Review.

[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_02]: If you are a long time listener then you know what changed there.

[00:00:46] [SPEAKER_02]: If you're new to the show then welcome to the show. This is F1 Fanfiction where we just

[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_02]: banter and drop our thoughts on what the race was and obviously pick on everyone to just make

[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_02]: we are your host, I am Akash. And let's unpack the temple of speed,

[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Monsa, if you've listened to the Dutch GP then you know we predicted we're going to have

[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_02]: some fun and boy at least for us this was a good race after a long time. Absolutely.

[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_02]: So let's get into the race, start actually in the end of the race, Sarang, what do you have to say?

[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I think after a long time we had a very exciting race start like there's so much that happened and

[00:01:33] [SPEAKER_04]: I think there's so much to talk about. Of course yet again another race and another record

[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_04]: maintaining the race. But no he improved it. Now it's just changed it on three.

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah yeah yeah so progressively it's going to go down at least in lead to one lap after

[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_02]: starting at boy. That's that's assuming the others the other cars don't catch up to McLaren.

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're advancements. Oh man but that that overtake from Piestry on whatever that was

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_02]: done. Peltin for WOP-T. Beauty sure yes, Kudos to Piestry but it almost spun landow out like

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_02]: all the way. But even if that we have been a spun I don't know. Yeah you know what honestly that

[00:02:21] [SPEAKER_04]: made me feel like max wives kind of a thing completely. Yeah it was just like you know this is

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Mike or Naran I'm going to take it and that too on a steeper it was a bit rough man. Like yeah and

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's where the whole race was lost. Like the championship was lost three races back

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_02]: when they didn't let landow in and this race was lost at that turn three overtake by Piestry.

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I actually would have assumed that you know they would have spoken in in the debrief after

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_02]: the championship lost race that hey we gotta do what we gotta do to get like landow maybe up there.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_02]: But I guess like at at the core maybe McLaren is just looking for that. I mean from a team

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_02]: point of view again like we've spoken about this time and again from a team point of view

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_02]: all they probably care about is the constructs of championship and yeah if landow wins the

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_04]: championship then wow they gotta kiss you know let's put up in that let's let's talk about

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_04]: the restart first we'll get back to the end. Yeah I have a lot to say about that. What was coming

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_02]: coming back to the race right like talking talking Piestry not just that he he overtook the way

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_02]: he overtook landow on that turn three but that squeeze into getting up in front of the

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Russell clip is frontwing then or was it like later at a ballad? I'm not entirely sure that's

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_04]: what I was trying to look even at the clips to see like what exactly happened I guess it could be

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_04]: then but then there wasn't really contact between them maybe here hit one of the bullets

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_02]: but it didn't seem that way they're almost too gross allowed yet to take the lock where round

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_04]: touched grass and all and once he got back like when's once Russell got back on the

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_02]: he lost like two or three positions in a go all right he did he basically let the Ferrari's go ahead

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_02]: and caught up with his teammate but caught up behind at p7 and the teammates are all in catching

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_02]: up in front ah we cannot cannot move away from race start without talking about Kevin Magnuson

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_04]: the guys of Renden's they're not in the race start yeah who who were

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_02]: record about a five second for the aggression there right yeah he squeezed came on but the

[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_04]: race start yes R cardus squeeze them and got a five second penalty but you know the worst part is

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_04]: he got a full up 10 second penalty as well yeah because his mechanic touched his frontwing

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_02]: which is just oh my god but tell me this like if he touches the frontwing I mean he did

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_02]: sorry about like it was it was maybe he didn't really like not right but can't you just like say

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_04]: he started the clock again like that's what I thought as well I I I think the rules

[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_04]: other but weird that we right I think it doesn't make sense just because they accidentally touched

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_02]: it like absolutely doesn't count there should be a veto in the with like goes to 20 folks there

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_02]: oh you know what we've touched restarted right yeah this restart the clock means that's fine

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_02]: he would have spent what 20 five seconds in in the in the pit lane you'd have been 27 if

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_02]: they would have restarted yeah do poor guy he had to spend extra five seconds anyway because this guy

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_02]: touched yeah at that point like if he had touched they should have just gone for it and be like you know whatever

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_04]: then let's regular pit stop might as well rate yeah what doesn't make sense my other thing is like

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_02]: remember what sort of five second the five second penalty did he receive but my thing is

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_02]: sure this time around the mechanic touched it but what if like you know they say we're going to

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_02]: pit again and then we're going to try the five second at that time because the race is not over yet

[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_02]: you've given me a five second penalty to sort of like serve it when I said that's true unless obviously

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_02]: again we are dumb folks who don't know what the regulation is that page but unless if it's in

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_02]: regulations like you got to do it when you got to do it when we say you got to do right like I'm like

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_02]: also at the end of the race like I did to my time feed or whatever right now I think the rules say that

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_04]: you have to serve it at the first given opportunity which basically means whenever you pit first

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_02]: okay so yeah I'm dead to the board it's there you have there's a clarification

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_04]: yes still feels very stupid to me that you know like you so give them a whole 10 second penalty again

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_02]: for that anyways yeah now that we've sort of like moved past the race start we got a call out special

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_02]: fortune telling skills by sarang yes because he's called this out like they've used they they they have two

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_02]: one was used pre-mits season at Monaco and the other ones now used at their home race by Farari

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_02]: at Monaco so now they're out of luck any exactly happens past this is pure magic and Godjwil

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_04]: exactly I'm like 99% sure that they build the car only for these two tracks and that's about it

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_02]: that's and even paid like Zach or whatever please one quick talk please extra

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_02]: oh man after 2019 finally yeah you know here's a thing I mean sure

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_02]: sure luckily Ark is a good driver but again I personally don't see him as a world champion fighting

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_02]: driver because I don't see that aggression and whatnot but he pulls off stunts like this where

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_02]: he wins at Monaco in 2019 and comes back in vinsida again after five years and so like shots

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_02]: the audience like you know hey I still got it and then obviously wins it with the fans by making

[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_02]: a grand speech in Italy Italian so well and all it's like you know what we've been here to stay

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_04]: right yeah there's a thing like there are these like rare drilling drives by him like this one of

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_04]: course yeah first of all this one stop strategy everybody said won't work you know all the time

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_04]: the commentator sort of thing what is a good chance at the woods the end we might see him just

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_04]: not even able to finish the race media something like that and then nothing happened like

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Oscar wasn't able to close that gap at all he was like sliding smoothly like like a

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_04]: cat one point I think even said like you know just leave it to me don't tell the same thing again and again

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_02]: so before the race right like we saw a kimi was there and the original kimi not the other kimi

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_02]: the original kimi was there been not over there and I was like wow this is sort of something might

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_02]: happen and yeah you got like if you know you know you got the same moment from from Charles like

[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_02]: don't tell me if I'm not doing something yeah so that reminds me did you see this there's

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_04]: this photo that Robin right in his son he sat in Hamilton's God that was pretty cool yeah

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_04]: and then there was this post that I read that in the same same session a kimi sat in one

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Mercedes car like a kimi and I recognize that yeah but yeah I mean back to Ferrari yeah

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_02]: another weekend again like we've spent the entire 2020 3 not talking about them and then this is

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_02]: like the third race where like strategy on point no mistakes everyone's doing good everyone sort of like

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_02]: on point everything's on point obviously some some luck shower from McLaren

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_04]: pulling that under the right stop yeah yeah but still I think let's look did a

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_04]: exceptional job because science was visible to pull it off like he was what p4 and he was like

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_04]: good 15 seconds behind land so he was way far behind clearly he was struggling with the tyre through

[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_04]: but yeah man amazing like look I mean I don't think he made any mistakes did he I don't

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't recall anything from him no notice I'm also taking advantage right like that first

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_02]: lap stand where P.A.S.D sort of pull that move on Norris blackler was right there to use right

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_02]: there exactly to pounce yeah that that is where he wanted like that is the

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_02]: that's why I was seeing this entire clip of post race interview between Rossberg and I

[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_02]: forget who Rossberg had with himself but like Rossberg and Zach Brown and Rossberg called out the

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_02]: same thing like didn't you have any debriefs don't you like have actually haven't you had like

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_02]: conversation within the team and let's also sort of like transition to what we heard

[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_02]: higher rules and it came onto the right like wow this is such a cool thing we bought this race you

[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_02]: know what papayar who's yay dude that was the single was congestion right and then cloning out

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_02]: so so Rossberg tells Zach like what are these papayar rules like don't you tell your drivers like

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_02]: you know not to do what it just did and you basically just handed off the the wind to

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Rary because that's the two to three seconds that the delta you lost yeah yeah basically papayar

[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_02]: rules just means like 5-13 met cleanly don't don't make it

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_04]: yeah dude I was so confused I thought that either they really like papayas and like yeah papayar who is

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_04]: and but it's so weird it's just I don't understand like what is going on with their strategy

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_04]: and you know in there like debriefs I don't understand it's so weird that okay I understand you know

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_04]: everything that happened in your Hungarian GP and you know they said things like you don't

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_04]: win a championship without Oscar and blah blah blah and all that and I feel that wasn't this race

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_04]: the perfect time to like repasad that kind of a thing exactly like I'm not even saying for p1 okay

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_04]: like sure like maybe they even probably decided that I know like maybe they even decided

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_04]: that let whoever goes first you know it keep the lead but then attacking your teammate and turn

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_04]: three and then making whom lose position it doesn't make sense like at least gain some you know

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_04]: distance between p3 and u2 being ahead and then try to fight it out but it's just weird man

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_04]: and even later on like when they knew that p1 is out of their reach why didn't this switch them both

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_04]: like it is in consequential like who cares about a p2 anyways right so made sense that land

[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_02]: against the p2 yeah yeah honestly and I think like maybe lando had the pace I mean again like

[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_02]: now at this point it's all good to shoot but like maybe lando had the pace and

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_02]: if for that first lap incidents maybe he would have just like taken off and like you know

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_02]: one it but I never saw him come back super close to get it like sure he over to click

[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_02]: like like p1 p2 but p3 in that clean air was was just you know a beast like lando never

[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_02]: essentially caught up to him too and and I don't know again like if this is if this is pure

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_02]: racing you know dynamics that the dirty air and and tracks like these it's it's it's difficult to

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_02]: you know put that that final delta in or lando just gets two unsettled ones he's at that position

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_02]: and he's never able to catch up that's actually a very good point and yeah either way I mean

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_02]: on surface it looks like the team camaraderie still there because with the win

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_02]: conversations lando was like you know yeah he did it all his things so cool as to him and whatnot

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_02]: but yeah no champagne celebrations yeah no discussions in the room so yet again another reason

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_04]: mood drivers at the satisfy it's so weird what's going on in that place like they literally

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_04]: have the fastest car and both the drivers are on satisfaction yeah and I attribute this to

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_02]: the management I mean sure I add up add up particular level it comes down to the driver

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_02]: because you never saw this because Max was like the selfish narcissism exuberating out of him right

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I am me and it's me shut up yeah and then obviously you got a flavor of that like the whole

[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_02]: red wool brigade is is a whole card off pretty nice speed right but you don't see that with like

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_02]: a Norris or a Zack or a Leclerc right so that's I mean I mean then I feel like that's the delta

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_02]: you see as a result as well yeah that's right not right maybe even I mean I am pissed

[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_04]: with the way the car is behaving yeah it's just like confusing to everybody and I think pretty much

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_04]: most of the you know like pundits and media have been talking about this evening that's just

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_04]: confusing what's going on like it's so confusing why can't they decide anything I think will

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_04]: extend like this is one of the rare times when I felt like I'm agreeing with them because

[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_04]: all the bullshit that is too easy really right he he summed it up so correctly I think in like

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_04]: the post race like whatever that was and he said the same thing kind of like you know it's so weird

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_04]: the difference which two and three later on like it doesn't make sense and also he speculated that

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_04]: maybe it's possible that like Zack's or you know the management hands at tight because the

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_04]: way the contracts are written and maybe there is some clause in PS3's contract which kind of states

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_04]: that till let us like you know maybe mathematically impossible for him to win like they can't

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_04]: differentiate between one and two like that maybe one of the reasons why it's so weird like this is

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_02]: that they're making wow maybe interesting yeah I mean that's an interesting take from will

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_02]: sure possible I don't know but yeah I mean from a McLaren point of view what could have been

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_02]: a beautiful advantage sure there's still inching closer to that world construction

[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_02]: championship I think like we have maybe just nine or ten points behind Red Bull at this point

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_02]: but what could have been a fifteen point lead for for Lando on match is now down to whatever 8 or 7

[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Max is totally winning the championship Jensen Beton style yeah 2009 right

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_02]: and he is you said this you said this post you said this post where this guy the

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_02]: uncrown the the underscore uncrown underscore K1 NG King he's he's done some math

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_02]: to predict and those win probability and at this point it stands at 17.2 percent

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_04]: oh my god so if you're annoyed you like it yeah check it out go to F1 technical yeah

[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_04]: he'll find it there it's just so we had like 17 percent is like barely anything but yeah

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah I don't know I haven't gone through his complete math but I don't know if he factors in

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_02]: P.A. Streets by adults yeah but in there as well but anyways speaking of

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_02]: technical technicalities right I want to have this this nerdy conversation with you where

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_02]: we heard so many drivers are not just like the McLaren folks even science and maybe someone else

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_02]: to like cry and crib about the front left what is what is up with like monster and why was everyone

[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_02]: sort of like crying about front left like why why front left so everybody was sharing on front

[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_04]: left yeah man that's pretty weird like I think I mean I of course don't exactly understand

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_04]: what leads to that but maybe it's probably that it is the turning right hand like since most

[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_04]: of the turns are right handers and like since you would want to carry more speed through them you

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_04]: might be worse during through them and does the weight pushing outside something like that yeah

[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah you're guys trying to throw you out the outer tire probably takes a bigger force of friction

[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_02]: in words but yeah I don't know why front more than the left or the rear's I think then that

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_04]: also would probably be related to brick balance like how much brick they're configured forward and

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_04]: backwards yes so maybe this track prefers you would want a brick bus to be ahead something like that

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah but at this point I'm seriously technically curious on why why front left and how

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_02]: like how the physics plays a role into so yeah I mean for folks listening we're gonna raise

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_02]: a question on effort technical probably car stack whose frequent on that channel and on that

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_02]: sub will reply but yeah we're gonna toss it out and hopefully and hopefully we'll have some

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_02]: response so yeah be on a lookout for that as well but let's talk red bull yeah let's talk about

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_04]: the bat wing on the red bull man what was that red wing this time yeah why you see that super

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_02]: dip into yeah yeah yes I don't know who's really didn't work though obviously I mean it doesn't

[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_02]: sound like it doesn't sound like newy brains because as he just taken the keys to his cupboard

[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_02]: or like I think he's just locked everybody out and Max is not backing off of being like super

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_02]: vocal about it like what do you guys need to change at this point at this point we need to

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_02]: change the entire car so it's back to it's back to Horner in in front of the mirror saying change

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_04]: you're fucking car yeah and it's so weird like doesn't make sense like I honestly I'm now

[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_04]: pretty convinced that there was definitely some background deals that happened between the 5 and

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_04]: you know a cast performance cannot drop this significantly you know when you're like

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_04]: gapping the rest of the field by 20 30 seconds and like the first half of the season

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_02]: and then all of a sudden you're like where it's my theory here is that the reduced

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_02]: wind tunnel time that the god is now showing length as they probably had everything they had to

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_02]: like test their car and it used up things which we saw a result of like second half of last year

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_02]: and the first half of this year they're out of nine they're out of their errodynamicist

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah so you get the reality right so I mean that's not my idea yeah the earlier it didn't

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_04]: matter to them because like as we have said already newy probably sees errodynamics but he didn't need

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_02]: his eyes are CFD scanners and CFD flow so that's why they didn't need those but now that he's gone

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_04]: they're like oh shit we don't have a wind tunnel or rather we don't have wind tunnel time

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_02]: because I mean in reality they only have one driver right like the other guy is just a

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_04]: wheel on a Sunday right yeah and this race I thought that maybe you know it's possible that

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_04]: this race he might finish somewhere very close to max because he qualified very close to max

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_04]: and I thought in fact at one point he was ahead of max for most of the qualification

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_04]: but nothing like later just he just disappeared into the net

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_02]: and not just that I don't know who was he racing I forget at this point Russell may be Russell

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_02]: he over to Russell and then Russell tried to get the position back and he comes onto the radio saying

[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_02]: what is he doing he gives me the position and then he races me and the commentator comes

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_02]: onto the thing and says like obviously because the hint is in the name it's called Grand Prix racing

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_04]: what is what is expected yeah that is too funny but you know in in Paris is defense when

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_04]: that who happened I I was saying the same thing that Rayman come on you need to yeah he didn't

[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_04]: really let him go so you know this is the same thing that happened I think like what's happened

[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_04]: this one sort of is with Hamilton back in that season yeah where like once you go off and when

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_04]: you have to give back the position you need to let that person first completely go ahead and then

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_04]: you can start to be sick something like that and I think it was related to that I mean I'm like

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_02]: he was a carlent ahead right at this point so I mean yeah if you're a carlent ahead I'm going

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_02]: to come fight for it again yeah I'm all for what is happening for on on team Rossa and he

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_02]: doesn't matter it was there is like no no not for his both were insignificant at this point

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_02]: right exactly okay alright let's let's come to the topic where we had to sort of

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_04]: the fuck is going on with them what came I can help good dude and they weren't even being like you

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_00]: know sorry about it or whatever like they were yeah team warning people like imagine you're

[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_00]: talking to him yeah we were literally playing bumper cars like all dude the the Hulkenberg move

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_02]: on Sonoda he's poor guy poor chap striving fine there is no thread there is nothing and then

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_02]: suddenly there's like is the snap on his neck and like he sees K-Might just hit into oh man

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_02]: and then he goes and hits Gazzly yeah was he on blindfolds like how was I don't know I don't know

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_04]: K-Might get Gazzly and Hulkenberg hits Sonoda and K-Might get Gazzly I don't know where I said what

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_02]: name but you get the point both of the drivers were just playing bumper cars and the sales dude

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_02]: the forgot they had brakes or I don't know they were just using these drivers as a support barrier

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_00]: to make that I yeah who are soon as a retired tire is car if you saw that in some motion there's a big

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_00]: hole dent into the car because he just got a boner your tire is car and and the best part

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_04]: is that he also got a point still he's got all this chaos I think he treated something

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_04]: got a point but also he's even saying I'm sorry dude he's not at all sorry about it

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_00]: the best time the best race of his life he's enjoying it man he's enjoying totally he knows

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_02]: it's his last season of an animation oh god he's how you go out not like self burning your own car

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_02]: and then like wait but he's sorry this is a side digression speaking about sergeant right there's

[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_02]: video of him before the drivers parade coming out onto the grid any bangs is head onto like the metal frame

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_02]: where you know the mechanics climb and then the small passage and the caption says this is the

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_02]: last incident for sergeant because that's very ran into himself now that you invoked his name we

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_04]: talked about the placement man oh Frank Rango cool up into man that guy where did he come from

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_04]: all of a sudden P12 insane mid seasons with from F2 where he was about P6 in the championships

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_04]: so you will not like do like super hot into anything and he just like was able to do it and say

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah so far I mean I was thinking like maybe Albon's got special skills because he's he's come

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_02]: that red bull lineage man he's able to sort of like get the maximum out of the car and obviously

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_02]: he has been doing good like Franco comes in and shows like no the car is actually somewhere decent

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_02]: right like you're your primary race your first race and you pull a P12 with like 19

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_02]: almost in the point he almost took a point as well so yeah I mean the car is good and yeah

[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I hope it sticks now let's yeah and let's go to that like a hope it sticks yeah let's see he was

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_04]: about 20 seconds behind point so not too far actually he could have been there but yeah down the

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_02]: grid there was actually nothing happening the Alpins or a shit show again

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_04]: well let's talk about since we talked about Franco let's talk about another amazing driver who got

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_04]: relegated to the position 20 it's too P22 Mr. Bhota oh yeah that driver construct

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_02]: dude he's 22 he's he's he's sergeant is above you that's saying something

[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_04]: exactly I hope it you know it doesn't end up by the end of the season but as is still P22

[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_04]: and Logan's sergeant who didn't finish the season

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_02]: oh that would and there's news that maybe like he they are looking to sort of not go into a

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_02]: multi or contract with him but like want a shorter term contact like obviously it makes sense

[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_02]: because right now the biggest contribution from Bota is finding his doppelgangers in the pit

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_02]: uh did you see that again and someone who's like a boat as a they did that they did that spider

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_02]: man meme with each other like otherwise that's you're there for like marketing given

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_02]: value at this point to Clevon now just just to close that statement on Caymag missing

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_02]: his race next next one at that barco the good news is Bearman is gonna be back he replaces

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_02]: he replaces Caymag nice so yeah we can expect has get some points and have some

[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_04]: you know what I'm really hoping for would deep down in my heart what I'm really really hoping for

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm hoping for a max versus record of happening okay the McLaren version of it basically

[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_04]: in Vaku

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_04]: oh that would be interesting that would be fun that would really mean and obviously record

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_02]: of again like show it into Max's bag or something yeah I mean that to the wood yeah

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_02]: repeat of the whole thing yeah repeat of the whole thing but yeah otherwise on the grid was a

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_02]: uh uh uh uh uh uh asked in Martin because I think like they're already living in the future

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_02]: it did good do I think uh P9 at one point stole was P19 so I mean I don't know how good

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_04]: you were doing so forgets well oh that reminds me of Oscar's comment on strip

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_04]: in some practice session does something yeah he's like stroll of course being one is first

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_02]: go cutting raise does anything so I think it's totally really like every weekend as such I think yeah

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_02]: something interesting I think that have not seen or I don't remember seeing at Moonsa quite often

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_02]: is the turn one chicane that's there they they have this like now at least I don't remember

[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_02]: it doesn't the past but they have this like sand gravel bump yeah and quite a lot of drivers

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_02]: took that and went over that that turn it sort of like fail like it was a strategy where

[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_02]: people pushed other drivers uh wide into the one and then many took uh many took that bump

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah new tarmac was also probably a factor as well where they they added like gravel traps

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_02]: such chains uh yeah a few changes I think they've they've made at this track but I think

[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_04]: racing was pretty good this race right like it was pretty close I think the changes they made did work

[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_04]: yeah I think the gravel traps are good overall that they were dead like because a lot of people

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_04]: take a lot of liberty on turn one because generally like even in summary I think like whenever

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_04]: uh I have seen like any videos of how to like improve lap times on there it always takes

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_04]: at like you get advantage by going really left side of the track right almost onto the grass a little

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_04]: and then take that turn one and I think they want to kind of prevent that so because of his

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_04]: they have put those sand traps over whatever that is I don't know exactly but yeah but interesting though

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_04]: but I'm I'm kind of happy that you know they do like these tracks kind of do make

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_04]: keep making these changes to improve racing it's really good and I think that's this over

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_04]: has really uh become more frequent ever since like a liberty media to cover that sort of notice like

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_04]: for example Spanish GP we recently like eliminated that last decade which really made you know sense

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_04]: I think a lot of other tracks also have been making you know changes here and there

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_04]: from feedback so it's like good to see that feedback is you know actually heard and

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_02]: taken action upon yeah yeah yeah yeah no I'm with you but yeah I mean overall

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_02]: a fun race at the Temple of Speed next to we head to Baku back to back races Baku and

[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Singapore before again we we head into like an automobile okay what do you think who is it Baku?

[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Baku luckily I actually liked that that track extra power truck too yeah except except

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_02]: the the castle section where he's too dead um the straight line speed with McLaren and Farari sort

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_02]: of like end up making a four way fight into there um I am at least so far not caught upon any news

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_02]: with respect to upgrades coming in from Mercedes or Red Bull so I'm not expecting anything good

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_02]: coming out of there uh but having said that the work is fast as we saw at at once as well so

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I think Hamilton's on podium that's what Hamilton's on podium now I don't know one two three

[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_02]: but I think the podium is gonna be uh Norris Luckler can Hamilton I see okay okay

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I feel that like as I mentioned my deep dark desire that the McLaren's crash out

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_04]: so they had a maybe not reaching there maybe another luck look when maybe or maybe signs

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know either of them only one of them on the podium not with yeah okay Hamilton sure yeah

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_04]: let's put them on the podium as well and who max I guess maybe oh you don't worry I'm very good

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_03]: coming back is generally interesting I don't know yeah interesting

[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah that's see I mean they have only ten points to defend for themselves for the

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Doctor championship the driver championship probably still a sealed on deal for max if

[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_02]: the others keep fighting yeah that we do so all in all yeah we'll see we'll see where we land on
