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

[00:00:00] There's a thought that crossed my mind and Sarang realized that I don't want to say it, but he wants me to say it.

[00:00:07] So anyways, here goes.

[00:00:08] I think the whole race towards the end became like a massive edging context, but you try hard to come because

[00:00:14] it was like, is he gonna overtake? Is he gonna overtake? Is he gonna overtake? Is he gonna overtake?

[00:00:27] Hello, hello and welcome back to F1 Fanfiction, A-Show about race weekend reviews.

[00:00:33] We weren't there around at Baku, but I guess like the only big thing that's happened is McLaren are now

[00:00:42] the world constructed champions and I don't know. I guess like I saw some reddit post which said like it's almost

[00:00:50] 40 years since when a driver's won a championship, but the team's gonna finish, you know second third or whatever.

[00:01:01] We'll see where the championship goes, but this is the Singapore Grand Prix, the

[00:01:06] cruisumist, the toughest.

[00:01:08] Well, race is.

[00:01:08] And yeah, definitely.

[00:01:09] All races.

[00:01:11] We are your hosts, I'm Akash.

[00:01:13] And I'm Sarang.

[00:01:14] And let's get into it.

[00:01:16] Firstly, Akash, weren't you at Singapore being the GP of Bikbha GP but didn't go? What was up with that?

[00:01:25] Yeah, yeah, I was. I was, but I was visiting, I was visiting the country

[00:01:30] other than, you know, be there for the race. And boy, so as I was there a few days before and

[00:01:39] and I'm happy that I wasn't at the track because he amount of body water that I've lost in sweat.

[00:01:49] In those days that I was visiting, I guess with the crowd and with like the lights and everything

[00:01:56] on those three days, I would have just gone mental. So I guess if I was gonna go see a race,

[00:02:03] I would probably do it like Mexico City or something where you know, the temperature,

[00:02:08] it's an altitude, the temperatures are cooler and, you know, it's better.

[00:02:13] But anyways, yeah, it's one. The good part about it is what I learned is that while they're setting

[00:02:19] up, so before Friday you can basically go and do whatever you want. So folks who follow us on Instagram,

[00:02:27] I put up a few stories to, you know, just showing what they've been doing. And I was with my

[00:02:33] kid in a stroller and we just like strolled literally around the track and we walked everywhere.

[00:02:40] And yeah, we did a track walkish sort of thing. Nice. But it's good man. It's good because I took

[00:02:47] a car out and what they do is basically the preparation start almost a month in advance or

[00:02:54] or who once in advance or whatever. Like a good time in advance, but they actually block the roads

[00:03:01] and start doing things only since Wednesday. So so the so the grilling and everything on

[00:03:07] on the street rates part of the usual city start going up on Wednesday and man, I think they bring

[00:03:15] in people from whoever jumps on the ship to go their own work. But it's like a whole army of people

[00:03:23] just putting up barricades and tents and whatnot and it's there. And I guess like it should be

[00:03:29] probably out by now as well. So yeah, yeah, it was a different experience not the race, but the

[00:03:36] previous sort of. No, but that's fun too. I guess. Yeah. No, just like everything set up, but still

[00:03:42] everybody's acting normal around it. Yeah. As if it doesn't exist and just going about their day.

[00:03:48] Pretty bizarre. The interesting thing is because the GPs been happening for years and years now,

[00:03:55] the city sort of adapted to it like the north that three days this is happening. The roads are

[00:04:00] going to be closed there put up sign. It's so beautifully organized. I'll be to the control population

[00:04:06] and the number of cars that Singapore government regulates in controls and the idea,

[00:04:12] so you can never have more than X cars in the country. But with that, the people also are now adapted,

[00:04:19] have now adapted to knowing that this is going to happen. So it's all cool. Nice. But speaking

[00:04:25] of the heat before we get into it, like let's talk heat. We saw this last year as well. Like drivers

[00:04:32] struggling to get out of the car. We saw that this year after the race as well, it's a gruesome

[00:04:39] race man and DC gave Lando a bath on TV. That's a way spicy headline with the way. But yeah,

[00:04:49] any of you are right. Again, and all of it gets summed up with Lando's reaction to and DC read that. So yeah,

[00:05:01] fans over there or something like that. How do they are? Let's not go to our free recording conversation.

[00:05:07] Not doing. Okay, since you're talking about Lando, I think let's talk about it. Is the curse

[00:05:13] broken? Finally with Lando, I don't know. I guess just he's just got like this. No, no positions

[00:05:22] lost in lap one. Yeah, and it's interesting, right? Like you have a good car and obviously

[00:05:31] he's not a bad driver and here are good start. So yeah, it worked out. Yeah. I don't know.

[00:05:41] I don't know man. I don't agree because I don't know if like so for example, who was it? How

[00:05:47] we had to stop him? How many got a pretty good start and yeah, basically try to take

[00:05:53] was to stop in one and I think that was one of the reasons why Max was in table to attack Lando.

[00:05:59] As well. So yeah, maybe just lucky this time. Thankfully, actually learned from his mistake. But

[00:06:07] regardless, absolutely dominant performance by dominant to the fact that I think like towards the end

[00:06:13] of the race he had gone mental and was in some zoys. I was treating back marker overtakes as if like

[00:06:20] his life depended on it and like one dude, did you? I don't know how much you noticed, but some

[00:06:26] of those those back marker overtakes he almost sort of like run off and then overtake himself.

[00:06:33] I'm like, even the commentator is like, why do you see he does not need to actually

[00:06:38] the point where he stops is a press is fighting Magnus and or Hulkinburg. I forget

[00:06:44] the houses at this point and he's not able to overtake and Lando overtakes, but then

[00:06:51] they said to just come off and then that's what the press is then never able to get back and fight

[00:06:56] for his position. I'm like, oh my god, he's talking about the reality hit him. He's like, oh my

[00:07:02] my win my idea. I should not go up against him. But how much did he win that? At one point?

[00:07:11] Oh him. I think no, he slowed down quite a bit towards him but you know at one point I remember

[00:07:16] so he slowed down. He was like 20 seconds ahead of a max, I think by the end of it. But I remember

[00:07:21] there was one point in time where he was like good 28 or 29 seconds ahead of max. Yeah and

[00:07:29] he almost hit one of the barriers at that time and I'll like wait what is this guy doing?

[00:07:35] Is he going to lose this? Yeah. Yeah. He eat and you know what happened? So since you had

[00:07:42] message to me in the morning asking, is the race exciting or something? Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

[00:07:47] I was excited. I was in the flight back and I hadn't seen it but you might have seen it. Yeah yeah.

[00:07:52] So while watching the race, first of all I thought you're trolling me. Okay. Okay.

[00:07:56] And secondly, while watching the race, I have been expecting something to happen. You know like

[00:08:01] because of the message. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:08:06] And at that point when he started you know going a bit crazy was like 30 seconds ahead and still

[00:08:12] going off the track and everything and neither took his. This guy going to lose it and just like

[00:08:17] watch his car. Oh yes, man. I remember 29 seconds lead because his engineers told him at

[00:08:25] lap 8 or something that he can be built the gap to like 15 seconds in the mid teens because they

[00:08:32] wanted to sort of like save themselves from an undercut from max and this guy goes and double

[00:08:37] it. But yeah even with that overshoot and save, he still managed to maintain the lead with a

[00:08:44] good like 5 seconds and stuff. So yeah, brilliantly dominated everyone on the track in his and

[00:08:53] his. Yeah. Brilliant performance from Landau World deserved win third win I guess for the season

[00:09:01] inching closer towards that driver's championship. So if Red Bull keeps messing up at times with

[00:09:08] Max maybe he could take it. We don't know we don't know. At least that's what's keeping the the

[00:09:14] season interesting for me. But you mentioned race start and I'd like to go back to the

[00:09:19] race starts. The top seven essentially stayed unchanged after like lap 1 or 2 whenever does

[00:09:26] the does settle. The Astrid sort of like did lose it but then got it back from Hulke again at one

[00:09:32] point. What stood out to me was Frank O'Colopinto. What a mental start from him. What a amazing

[00:09:44] I've I'm already loving that guy. Right and I saw this I saw this me so Albon at some point

[00:09:52] came onto the radio and said Frank or Tyve bombed on me. Did he was nowhere close to him first of

[00:09:58] time. I don't get it. Why did he say that? And I remember I saw this meme somewhere from from this

[00:10:06] movie Captain Phillips where you know the pirate says I am the captain now sort of thing where

[00:10:11] it's it's Franco saying look at me. You are Logan Sergeant now. We just throw man this guy. This guy.

[00:10:22] Man held that P9 position for S. O.C. The thing is like Franco being P9 right at some point

[00:10:31] Perez was sort of like told that Franco struggling and let's go take him and it was interesting

[00:10:38] to see like an RBR radio message motivating Perez like hey we've got this let's go take Williams.

[00:10:45] I mean it was Perez so I was like maybe they're just motivating Perez but he had it was a genuine

[00:10:51] and Perez even came back on like the radio, Lapsych's or somewhere saying like he's really

[00:10:57] very good, very difficult to pass this call up it. So yeah oh yeah I think he did say that I know that

[00:11:03] was Lapsych somewhere Lapsych 1660 and then I remember like Lapsych 2728 he still hadn't got in him.

[00:11:11] The way he eventually got him was like when Franco picked it or something and right.

[00:11:17] Yeah Perez back to you know how do you say it or back to original programming.

[00:11:24] It's weird like in Baku he suddenly was like on fire and that crash I do. Seriously I don't get this guy.

[00:11:35] Yeah and then he's just like gone like after that I don't get it at all. It's very weird.

[00:11:41] So yeah something's definitely changed there is however a beautiful video on F&TV

[00:11:46] on some updates that they've made to the car and Williams tech director comes in and explain

[00:11:53] some of the things that they've done. So go check that out.

[00:11:56] What's interesting is their race pace has actually is now actually matched to that of

[00:12:03] RBR with some of the leg updates that they've brought and where they lose it is obviously

[00:12:09] during the breaking during the cornering and during the DPS but in general they've actually

[00:12:13] up that with that race pace quite a lot nonetheless rank hook all up into what a beauty.

[00:12:21] What a beauty. Yeah but you bring up a good point man. Williams is suddenly flying

[00:12:26] less in qualification as well. Yes they're pretty much I think at one point

[00:12:31] Albo and was consistently coming on top the leader would being this qualification. Of course like

[00:12:37] that track was ramping up so that can't contribute to it but still like yeah the car does

[00:12:43] seem to have a good speed. Yeah yeah one thing I wanted to point out and I think it was

[00:12:50] quite interesting to me was that this was one of the few races where I've seen where each

[00:12:56] driver from P1 to P5 had approximately a gap of 20 seconds between them. We are in the race

[00:13:04] ended right? Yes when the race ended it was quite weird to me that it was so consistent like

[00:13:09] if you actually see the times it's noticed max behind notice 20 seconds who who was behind

[00:13:16] a PS3 PS3 and max 21 seconds Russell BNPS3 again I think 21 seconds yeah yeah yeah

[00:13:24] quite interesting. I guess let's talk about it's this actually a lot of drama going

[00:13:29] going on in general but let's talk about the biggest drama that's been going on at least this

[00:13:34] weekend which has to be Ricardo's drama right? Oh dude what the hell is that? No no I don't want any more

[00:13:41] Ricardo man or dude. I am so confused about all of this it's like I don't get it like

[00:13:50] everybody knows that even like just given up like this man gonna die he's also saying I'm gonna die.

[00:13:57] Bye bye everyone's like wow what a lady said I'm proper good by this time like he was done

[00:14:03] like I don't think he's coming back it's gonna be super awkward if he comes back. It's like just

[00:14:10] the doctors declaring time of death but everybody is like except he's dead now at this point.

[00:14:17] Exactly oh my god I saw this door somewhere where it said Ricardo at peace with

[00:14:25] the next acceptance that he's done as an F1 driver and unlike dude you've been fired 4 or 3

[00:14:31] or I can't even remember at how many times I have this point yeah yeah you have to be at peace

[00:14:38] what's the hell are you expecting? Yeah and and you know like for me it's

[00:14:44] I don't know it's a very weird so on one hand I'm definitely I have been actually kind of

[00:14:49] waiting for him to leave the grid on this clip because like yeah there are people who are

[00:14:56] deserving and waiting in line and I think clearly what's happened in the last few like people who

[00:15:03] have joined like pull up into one as well yeah yeah. P.A.C. as well because he's pretty much out of

[00:15:08] key as well just two years in the field but everybody's kind of shown that they have it in them

[00:15:14] Oli Berman yeah yeah and clearly they are keep people people doing it and if he can't then yeah

[00:15:21] give me so I don't know I mean that's that's one thing like definitely so I don't feel bad even

[00:15:27] if he leaves but at the same time I feel it's very weird that Red Bull is not making it clear

[00:15:33] at the same time I feel it just feels very done with it yeah it's it's not I feel it's not

[00:15:38] fair to him as well like if you're firing him just say it right like it doesn't make sense like

[00:15:43] whatever they're doing right now. Lola is making him bleed rather just stopping the head off exactly

[00:15:51] yeah it's not sad it's just pretty full at this point. Yeah yeah yeah yeah totally and I think we

[00:15:58] could see it in his face like with all that like at one hand I'm pretty sure he was also

[00:16:03] sad of you know being leaving very left but at the same time it seemed as if he himself doesn't

[00:16:10] know anything like that's what's going on. That's just yeah it's just and then I don't know if

[00:16:19] rumors that they're gonna put him in the Red Bull and stuff. What exactly?

[00:16:26] Yeah that's that's the sad part about but I do it for him and help me on this sarah he's the

[00:16:34] driver of the day why. That's just why. How did it make sense? Yeah it makes no sense yeah I mean

[00:16:47] he had a decent drive but yeah not like a dimmer of the day. No I think no no yesterday's

[00:16:55] race it wasn't even good like in the sense that I'm not faulting him for it because he was given

[00:17:00] a straight strategy first of all to start with starting on soft spitting after 11 laps and then

[00:17:05] going on hards that strategy itself was just idiotic. Yeah I think they were counting on a safety car

[00:17:12] that's not something he got no's maybe. But but that and then like the this thing is

[00:17:19] we'll write the fastest lap thing. Yeah I think that was also to help out Red Bull that's what they say

[00:17:24] I don't know whatever. Probably was I guess probably was because it didn't make sense for him

[00:17:32] to take that fastest lap. Yeah yeah I mean no sense anywhere at all for whatever has been happening

[00:17:40] throughout the week and with Danny Rick so I guess like it's just people grouping up to say we're

[00:17:47] going to vote for Danny Rick and make him driver. It's like that that giving of a present that at

[00:17:52] least we as users can give like we did that for yeah I know we did that for yeah yeah yeah yeah

[00:17:59] exactly Danny so yeah it's the life time achievement award that the audience gives them.

[00:18:06] I mean anyways grab your of the day is just a popularity contest anyways most of the time so

[00:18:11] not like always that people feeling sad about him leaving right know this he was fired slash

[00:18:19] quit or whatever I call it fire you call it whatever you want from a clarin took 30 million from there

[00:18:26] and then when signed on to another team and took whatever millions from them. So he's made

[00:18:35] him. So he's wiping his satiers with dollars. He's had and pity about whatever he's happening to him.

[00:18:47] Precisely yeah so that's fine one shit happens people will move on it's just it's just that you know

[00:18:55] these days because of social media and all that it's just become like everything is a trend you know

[00:19:01] one person starts like saying the sad goodbyes and shit then everybody's like on the train

[00:19:08] and then doing the same shit yeah all over and over again yeah until the next 10 comes in.

[00:19:15] Yeah yeah yeah yeah but speaking about pity inside person that you should feel sad for and pity

[00:19:24] somewhere while he's still pretty kill him is perous because I want to come back to Red Bull while

[00:19:28] we are in this broader red Bull discussion is I saw a post where they said

[00:19:37] they messed up the cars development and dated it back 2023 where perous commented that there

[00:19:44] is something wrong with the car but they never bothered bothered with it because like Max kept winning

[00:19:50] and I'm like who's smiling at who now exactly but what do it okay listen to this okay

[00:19:58] it's so ridiculous that this dude is driving so well that even if the car was shit he was

[00:20:07] right the fuck out of it win by 20 seconds each race. Right now the compounding effect makes

[00:20:14] perous look smarter but yeah let's let's talk about Max I mean by Max let's talk about all the

[00:20:23] controversy again that's another another non-sensical shit show that FIA now this one's not Max

[00:20:30] is fault this one's the F now this one I'm angry at FIA yeah then so I am what the fuck is

[00:20:37] that guy doing first of all the initial comment where all this controversy started right where

[00:20:43] he said some shit like I don't exactly remember but basically parapasing he said something like

[00:20:49] these drivers are you know hotheaded and they are like you know these days like cursing out on the

[00:20:55] radio as if like their rappers or something like that's what he said and then of course Hamilton was

[00:21:02] rightfully pissed saying that what does he exactly mean by that you know most of the times

[00:21:07] rappers have black so what does he mean by that but anyways getting back to the main point like

[00:21:14] those Ben's for context this was Ben's william and not Max saying that yeah yeah but people

[00:21:20] because you're talking about Max people might think this Max said this but it's been said yes

[00:21:26] yeah Ben said this exactly so I think Max said something like he was driving a

[00:21:33] if I get right now basically the F word or I'm like he used the F word right or something

[00:21:40] yeah yeah fucking yeah that's what he said exactly yeah yeah yeah yeah it is actually so I mean

[00:21:48] why is he being punished to say that and then he was said like mind your language and I'm like

[00:21:52] someone somewhere is obviously gonna curse what's the big yeah yeah yeah just it's a weird man

[00:22:00] community service for this bullshit it's so weird I mean it's first of all I do okay I don't

[00:22:07] understand if he goes out you know on the podium and starts cursing and something like that

[00:22:13] which they can't cut out of live stream I understand you know them being mad at him or you

[00:22:19] know him cursing right after the race like the interviews right after winning the race or something like

[00:22:24] that but first of all these are all media events right they can just cut it out yeah just you know

[00:22:31] they have the power of fucking use it yeah yeah yeah I'm with you just your horse crap yeah

[00:22:42] I mean it's good I really loved how Max then reacted after like the quality press interview

[00:22:50] and he like explicitly called out like to you I'm not answering in more than these many

[00:22:56] and then after the race I don't know if you saw this post but he had a private media

[00:23:02] interview or whatever it is and then I think like the other drivers are also gonna sort of like

[00:23:07] hinting towards taking private media take rather than like not saying much they should I think like

[00:23:13] again I'm still new 20 years into this but like still new but I remember like Nikki

[00:23:19] Lada or someone doing this where they they walked into the press room said car good race good

[00:23:27] engineer good day good and then left sad stuff and then left right so this is that's what these

[00:23:33] guys should do everything good but you know I think what if I might do now see if Max has decided

[00:23:40] to give one word answers in the official if I press events rate yeah so what they might do is like

[00:23:47] like an exams how we used to have right 100 word essay so they're gonna have like a minimum

[00:23:55] coat of words to talk each of the driver that you have to give answers in minimum per hour

[00:24:01] don't even say that like we've said things on this show and then it just happened and I would

[00:24:08] be not surprised if this goes on and ends up in their contract like you know you at least

[00:24:16] hinting at retirement like for all this crap that's happening um that's I don't if you saw

[00:24:21] this but that started up another controversy or like another rumour train and nonsense that

[00:24:28] horror is hinting at he won him wanting Russell for 20 26 I saw somewhere him hinting at

[00:24:36] wanting PS 3 for 20 26 I don't I I want racing yeah I don't like to do something like

[00:24:45] horror as always we in a potter or something yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but first of all dude

[00:24:52] two two has been like simple for Max for the last one year okay yeah you know and then all of

[00:25:00] was said in when he's coming for his driver yeah one this side leave me you must admit too much drama

[00:25:07] give me a mistake that's exactly oh man but like we missed doing that episode but I think

[00:25:14] Baku delivered you're at again let's talk like five minutes on that man that race was amazing

[00:25:20] like I'm still I still think about that race I'm not kidding I think this was after so long when

[00:25:27] there were like three people who had like a fair chance of winning the race like for most of the race

[00:25:34] and it was just too good yeah although he's focusing suddenly listening to the laughs because

[00:25:47] there's a thought that crossed my mind and sorry realized that I should not I don't want to

[00:25:53] say it but he wants me to say it so anyways here goes I think I think the whole race towards the end

[00:26:00] came like a massive edging context but you try not to come because it was like is he gonna overtake is he gonna

[00:26:08] overtake is he gonna overtake is he gonna overtake is he gonna overtake is he gonna overtake is he gonna

[00:26:12] oh no I'm like what is that slap and then you get spanked because they would crash or dude seriously man

[00:26:20] I'm like aah glad they crashed actually glad they crashed because I was by this time just gonna walk

[00:26:29] out of the whole edging session at this point and then become an aggression only yeah something

[00:26:35] and so glad I pushed you to complete that thought but no yeah the race was good I mean

[00:26:45] that sort of like the whole top five situation was edge of her seeds you know something something

[00:26:54] there's something about the track man every single year year after year it has something

[00:26:59] that you're in the same boat by the way you called it out you want all though you wanted

[00:27:05] like the Red Bull situation to happen for McLaren but F2 they pulled a Red Bull Max

[00:27:13] yeah I mean not exactly that but like F2 on on that turn one situation and then went on

[00:27:19] on offensive yeah that happened in F2 I see okay nice nice all right okay almost there

[00:27:28] oh yeah all Marcia all right when let's get back to the back thing yeah back to Singapore

[00:27:32] overall this track is stuff I mean the race did end up getting boring because I mean overtaking

[00:27:39] isn't as easy unless like you've got some good pace which we saw some Ferrari's overtaking

[00:27:46] Mercedes and some some with McLaren and Mercedes and stuff but overall I think like it did get

[00:27:53] boring because luckily I recon hull or Paris on Franco or Alonso on Magnuson

[00:27:59] Ricardo on boat as or then on Gazzle and then later luckily I reconned Ross and then many others

[00:28:04] that now I can't remember but all of these overtakes like either didn't happen or to like

[00:28:11] way too long for it to happen for with driver struggling so and then towards the end also like

[00:28:17] right like not as getting very hot headed and then driving as if his lap overtaking lap cars

[00:28:23] to be knitted on it but as never being able to overtake hull can that forever fight between

[00:28:29] McLaren and Rossel ah I do it so there's too much happening again like it was like all this

[00:28:37] a building energy but not really exactly but some fine battles that at least I could think of

[00:28:51] his PSD on Hamilton for P4 PSD on Ross for P3 ah look Claire con Allonso well fought from Allonso

[00:28:59] eventually he had to give in and then you keep shouting for T-modders oh really I didn't I missed the

[00:29:07] long but I mean he had fresher tires so was was saying like we have to do this

[00:29:15] and then you're done he eventually and he had to you're done eventually.

[00:29:18] I mean anyway is literally fitted and what's the point of the past just love yeah so I think

[00:29:23] with that fast just love they secured that there's no way that landok and when except unless

[00:29:31] Max like goes P3 or lower crashes out something like that I think oh that was the critical

[00:29:39] thing behind it that's what I mean yeah okay I did not know that that's a good thing to know

[00:29:47] yeah so I think basically with this even if landovans each and every race and gets the fastest

[00:29:54] lap point as well here on forward and max comes in second still max wins so for the rest of the

[00:30:01] this is max at least needs to finish. Secondly two yeah or P3 like three works I don't know what that yeah

[00:30:10] okay speaking of some stats this was the 350th race start for LH44 then when what the past

[00:30:18] quite a number man 3 quite a number and see right and I mean obviously there are some 270 280 300

[00:30:26] starts on the grid as well I think Danny Rick is a 250 and then stuff as well but yeah 350

[00:30:31] for for LH44. Since Miami was tapins you ordered 221 points and Norris has also

[00:30:40] ordered 221 points PS3 almost there at 200 so anyways was tapin had 52 point lead over Norris entering

[00:30:49] Miami and he still has that 52 13 race under so that's saying something.

[00:30:54] And on a fun side Alpins can't get anything for their team right because they're twitter

[00:31:01] post for yes as has has multitude more likes than anything that they tweet about their own drivers.

[00:31:11] See two things first of all it was about Ocon okay nobody likes Ocon that's true.

[00:31:17] That's there second lead is Alp in posting about Ocon so it's like double like

[00:31:23] should have been positive wouldn't yeah double negative or negative doesn't this case yeah.

[00:31:32] That's right which makes sense. Overal I like the race I like the weekend I know we

[00:31:38] spoken and you probably didn't as much but I liked it because there was so much happening all across

[00:31:45] the grid like passes were up there we spoke about a frank oven he was up there and Williams

[00:31:51] were up there the green vomit obviously was in a number because at this point but everyone

[00:31:57] except the green vomit were up there Alpins being struggling throughout the weekend but at some

[00:32:04] point I think like Ocon was having a good weekend and he was he was up in the 11 12ish

[00:32:10] position at some point so I think like that shuffling that ended up happening

[00:32:16] and the struggles that drivers with hard tires are having in their sliding

[00:32:22] caused some dynamicness to the race which I think for me was quite interesting.

[00:32:29] Yeah I mean there were things going on but at the same time no you know it's like as you said like

[00:32:35] nothing actually completed per se like people were trying to fight things out and shit

[00:32:42] but yeah there were not many overtakes or you know any other dramas well during the race

[00:32:48] per se no like no pit stop went bad like nobody like nothing happened in that sense everything was good

[00:32:54] yeah for our strategy was on point yeah exactly nobody messed up the strategy or anything

[00:32:59] everything else was just businesses usually happen on the track that's all but I guess the

[00:33:05] qualification was pretty nice I really enjoyed the qualification. I was always trying to bring out

[00:33:09] and yeah I mean they're having late at one short qualification thing. Yeah science moves

[00:33:17] science updated is called to mode push to get max out of his car and then yeah lost it on

[00:33:25] that turn. Counter-nistricy strolls roll went out very badly last year.

[00:33:32] Quality is same spot max overshot twice if I think I'm right at the same spot this quality

[00:33:40] science lost it like stroll cause that red flag and made it like the whole made the whole Q3 as a

[00:33:47] one shot so next race what US or stood yeah austen's tonight. Yeah but this is an uncold

[00:33:56] break that we have for four weeks so oh that's true actually I forgot about that.

[00:34:01] It's weird what have they done with scheduling like I don't get it like why is there another break?

[00:34:06] Who knows and then they'll probably have like a total of it makes sense why it's all over

[00:34:10] thing is good by just because like this is a four week break now makes sense. Yeah there'll be some

[00:34:17] drama that'll come out of it but yeah all in all a good weekend a good race, a lot to be back

[00:34:22] recording this and until the next episode these are your hosts signing off. Bye bye.

[00:34:31] you
