Kerbs, Qualifying, Max's Vengeance - 2024 Canadian GP Preview

[00:00:02] Before we begin, I wanted to give a huge shout out to the folks at Amazon Music for partnering with us on this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast.

[00:00:10] But more on this later, right then, let's get right into today's episode.

[00:00:34] With a very proud face and a big smirk on my face, I can now say that ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to India's Best Boards Podcast

[00:00:43] and you're also listening to the Inside Line F1 Podcast's Canadian GP review review.

[00:00:50] Again, I'm so happy that I butcher up the sense of time.

[00:00:54] It's not the Canadian GP review canal.

[00:00:56] It's the preview.

[00:00:57] But again, we have we have an award now.

[00:01:00] So all these small little things are okay, right?

[00:01:03] Yeah, exactly.

[00:01:05] We have an award, the best sports podcast in India.

[00:01:08] I'm humbled.

[00:01:10] I'm over the moon.

[00:01:12] I am excited for what we've built together.

[00:01:16] Somil, Sundaram, Mithila, myself, the legions of fans, the legions of listeners.

[00:01:24] And I know that this stamp is just the best sports podcast in India.

[00:01:28] But I also know through our, you know, platform collaborations at Spotify and Listen Nords.

[00:01:34] We are pretty much the top one, one and a half percent of all podcasts in the world.

[00:01:39] And Somil, what's really strange is whole Americanization of formula one that's happened.

[00:01:44] We actually won a podcasting award.

[00:01:46] There was a silver medal that we won in America in 2022, the end of 2022, early 23.

[00:01:53] So there's actually a second award, second award in two years.

[00:01:56] Yeah, it's crazy.

[00:01:58] It's crazy.

[00:01:59] And seriously, I mean, when we went on stage to receive it, it was just such a special moment

[00:02:06] to see that, wow, what we're building with the Inside Line F1 podcast is being recognized.

[00:02:10] And you folks who've been with us from the very start of the journey or for some

[00:02:14] of you who just joining in, you are making it all happen.

[00:02:18] So thank you.

[00:02:19] Thank you for listening into yet another episode of the Inside Line F1 podcast.

[00:02:24] And thank you for supporting us all the way through to get to this stage, which

[00:02:28] is why now we should reward you for your support and ask stupid questions, which is

[00:02:32] what we always do on the podcast.

[00:02:34] We love asking stupid questions.

[00:02:36] Sometimes we talk about what's the coolest title you can have as the head of a state,

[00:02:42] which we found out in San Marino is something very cool, but I can't quite remember.

[00:02:46] Was it was it head dean or something?

[00:02:48] I don't remember.

[00:02:49] What was it?

[00:02:49] Something captain was it?

[00:02:51] I can't remember.

[00:02:51] But yeah, some some.

[00:02:53] Yeah.

[00:02:54] Since I already mentioned we had an award in America and I did mention the name.

[00:02:59] It was the Muse Awards and we actually won under the Audio podcast category.

[00:03:04] And in America, we are represented by Evergreen Podcasts, which is a big podcast

[00:03:09] network as well.

[00:03:10] So if you hear if you're hearing this in America and you're carrying the

[00:03:14] podcast is carrying some ads.

[00:03:15] It's all thanks to the Evergreen podcast that comes.

[00:03:17] But are we still now talking of San Marino?

[00:03:20] Because yeah, there's a reason behind that.

[00:03:23] There's a reason why I mentioned San Marino because again, I mentioned on the

[00:03:26] inside line of one podcast, even I ask a lot of stupid questions to each other.

[00:03:30] Again, one of which is what is the head of the coolest head of state name,

[00:03:33] which in San Marino is a captain's region.

[00:03:35] But an Evergreen question we always can ask, which is also very stupid is

[00:03:40] why are we doing the Canadian GP in the month of May?

[00:03:43] Even though we just were in Monaco a week ago and we've and we go to European

[00:03:48] races after that.

[00:03:48] Yeah.

[00:03:49] What's this all about?

[00:03:50] Well, it's formula one saying we want to be sustainable.

[00:03:54] We want to be net carbon zero by 2030.

[00:03:57] But that doesn't mean in 2024, we're going to actually become net

[00:04:01] carbon zero and have more sustainable plans and so on.

[00:04:04] Nobody in all seriousness, they're trying to club these pieces of the

[00:04:08] calendar together.

[00:04:10] Canada has always been in June because of better weather conditions.

[00:04:14] And that's been one of the main reasons, but they're trying to

[00:04:16] again move that around and bunch all the races up.

[00:04:20] And the promoters sort of from what I gather are a little concerned

[00:04:24] because if you suddenly have five North American races together,

[00:04:27] you put Mexico and America and sorry, Las Vegas and Austin,

[00:04:32] Texas and all of that within six, eight weeks of each other.

[00:04:36] The concern is IU sort of rubbing the whole, what do you say?

[00:04:42] That the slate out GD or the bottle too quickly in two little

[00:04:45] time.

[00:04:46] But yes, conventional wisdom would say if you're going to Monaco,

[00:04:50] please just continue racing in Europe and call this a European

[00:04:53] leg of the season, which I'm told is being looked at.

[00:04:56] Yeah.

[00:04:57] And the reason why we're here in Canada is that we're not here

[00:05:01] in Canada.

[00:05:01] We wish we were here in Canada.

[00:05:03] But the reason my formula once going to Canada is to eat some

[00:05:07] wind 31 kilometers per hour winds are expected this weekend.

[00:05:11] And you mentioned something interesting while we were preparing

[00:05:15] and we mentioned this point.

[00:05:17] Funtas for Ferrari, right?

[00:05:18] Absolutely.

[00:05:18] Lots of woody conditions though.

[00:05:19] Absolutely.

[00:05:20] They've you know, we've always remembered how Carlos

[00:05:22] Sciences said our car doesn't like the wind or the change

[00:05:26] in wind conditions and their usual joke we've practiced,

[00:05:28] but hey, aren't formula one cars designed in a wind tunnel,

[00:05:32] which basically is a tunnel with a big fan that throws wind at

[00:05:36] you, right?

[00:05:36] So we've always joked about it.

[00:05:37] So the wind will be should be a factor this weekend.

[00:05:41] Canada's motto is from sea to sea and I believe from

[00:05:45] that sea to sea is where all that wind comes in.

[00:05:48] But 40 million is almost a population of Canada.

[00:05:52] They just have one race for those 40 million people,

[00:05:56] but I must say it's a very, very well second.

[00:06:00] Are you talking about population ratio to race?

[00:06:03] We have 1.4 billion.

[00:06:06] 4 billion.

[00:06:08] Yeah.

[00:06:08] And nobody wants to raise formula one.

[00:06:10] Are you listening?

[00:06:11] What's up?

[00:06:13] Yeah, but I have to say this.

[00:06:17] The Canadian Grand Prix has been around.

[00:06:20] I think it's going to be the 53rd Canadian Grand Prix.

[00:06:23] So it's been around for a really long time.

[00:06:25] I think this is also the third venue that's been the most

[00:06:28] sport park and somewhere else and now in Montreal.

[00:06:31] Montreux, there you go.

[00:06:32] You of course know these historical references,

[00:06:36] but 70 laps, you're back to 3D RS zone.

[00:06:40] Formula one is saying you missed all the overtaking in Monaco.

[00:06:43] Very not.

[00:06:44] We give you some overtaking, at least the chance of it in

[00:06:47] Canada, but typically it's just the back straight where you

[00:06:50] see an overtake that happens into the chicane, which ends

[00:06:54] with the wall of champion.

[00:06:55] Sometimes if you're really lucky and you've got a bad exit,

[00:06:58] you might get overtaken into turns one and two,

[00:07:01] which by the way is also called the Senna S because

[00:07:04] that's what it looks like from the helicopter.

[00:07:07] But fun fact, this is the 1110th race for Formula one.

[00:07:13] So that's triple one, zero formula one races in history

[00:07:16] and I know you remember everything from all of them.

[00:07:19] No, I don't.

[00:07:20] It's I don't even remember what happened to races.

[00:07:22] That's the thing to be honest with you sometimes.

[00:07:24] We've got so many of them.

[00:07:26] Yeah, but that's a challenge with people like you.

[00:07:28] If I ask you, Samuel, what happened at the 2020

[00:07:31] for Monaco Grand Prix?

[00:07:32] You'll remember only in 2044.

[00:07:34] You won't remember now.

[00:07:36] It's like, I have to ask you what happened.

[00:07:38] You're catching me out now.

[00:07:40] Don't expose me like this in public.

[00:07:41] But you're so right.

[00:07:42] Yeah, it's exactly that case here.

[00:07:44] It's the recency non-biles is so strong and it's insane

[00:07:50] to the point that when you ask yourself, okay,

[00:07:53] what do you remember from the Canadian GP?

[00:07:55] What are some of the best moments that you can ever

[00:07:57] recollect?

[00:07:58] I don't remember anything after Jensen buttons were

[00:08:01] in 2011, genuinely.

[00:08:03] Maybe the 2014 race where we had lots of chaos and

[00:08:05] Felipe Massa crashing on the last lap.

[00:08:07] That was a good one with Czechopérez.

[00:08:10] Didn't tinte?

[00:08:11] Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[00:08:12] Exactly.

[00:08:13] And Ricardo won one of his first races in his career.

[00:08:16] Incredible.

[00:08:16] See those are things you and Ricardo started from six.

[00:08:19] So one of those rare races where the front road

[00:08:22] didn't end up winning because in Canada eight out

[00:08:26] of the last 12 races have been one from pole position

[00:08:28] and 10 out of the last 12 races have been one

[00:08:31] from the front row.

[00:08:33] So the two races that weren't one from the front row

[00:08:35] was 2014 Ricardo and then somebody 2011 Jensen button

[00:08:40] from seventh place.

[00:08:41] Yeah, and must have been even before that Robert

[00:08:43] Kubitsa right 2008 when when Lewis Hamilton just

[00:08:47] casually bumped onto the back of Kimmy Reichenitzka

[00:08:50] and said, here's my parting gift for losing the

[00:08:53] 20 2007 World Championship.

[00:08:54] Thank you very much and I'll leave from here.

[00:08:56] Like that's basically what happened in that one as well.

[00:08:59] And I remember that that incident because Kimmy walked

[00:09:02] out and he just sort of tapped Lewis's helmet, you know,

[00:09:05] like tap you know the kind of tap George Russell gave

[00:09:09] to Walter Ibotas in Imola a couple of years ago

[00:09:12] when he was in Williams and while three was in Mercedes

[00:09:15] but you're right.

[00:09:16] The the memories from Canada since you say that wall

[00:09:20] of champions several memories of people just driving

[00:09:23] into it and driving into it and and that's that's one

[00:09:27] memory.

[00:09:28] Can you believe it?

[00:09:29] It's been three decades since that wall of champions thing

[00:09:31] was initially classified and after that not many champions

[00:09:35] have really crashed there.

[00:09:37] Yeah, that's which makes me it's it's like one of those sad

[00:09:41] nicknames that used to be really good at one point of time

[00:09:43] when I was like, but when will a champion crash here now?

[00:09:46] Is the last crash I remember was Nico wasn't one of

[00:09:49] the houses crashed here right couple of years ago.

[00:09:51] Yeah, you lost it on the good.

[00:09:53] Yeah, I think it was Mugneson wasn't it wasn't even

[00:09:56] around at that time.

[00:09:58] Yeah, but you're right.

[00:09:59] Yeah, I think it was yeah.

[00:10:00] Yeah, but curves and let's talk about that for a second

[00:10:03] because funnily enough we are hearing so many stories

[00:10:07] and so many reports of Red Bull Racing being atrocious

[00:10:10] apparently in their own words not exactly same words

[00:10:14] but again you get the sentiment but they're not really

[00:10:16] the best on the curves and Monaco was a clear outlier

[00:10:20] two points of it the way they ride over it vertically

[00:10:23] and then also how the car reacts to it horizontally.

[00:10:26] But the whole point is Canada has tons of them.

[00:10:28] I mean that whole wall of champions chicane is a big part.

[00:10:32] You go to the second and third sector where there's lots

[00:10:34] of chicane with lots of high curves and lots of sausage

[00:10:37] curves as well if you get them wrong.

[00:10:38] So for Red Bull it's another chance to test their

[00:10:41] hypothesis about just how terrible that car can be

[00:10:44] over the curves if it really is that bad.

[00:10:47] Yeah, that's a good point because over the years

[00:10:50] we've always been told Canada's a street circuit

[00:10:52] semi street circuit but in reality it's a permanent

[00:10:56] race facility which is open to the public for walking

[00:11:00] skating running I think cycling was banned for a few

[00:11:03] years but it's now allowed but it's and cars can drive

[00:11:06] around but it's not a it's not a road track or if

[00:11:10] you know it's not like a regular road that you see

[00:11:12] in Monaco being used around.

[00:11:15] So correct me if I'm wrong kind of like Singapore

[00:11:18] made straight right like that that whole piece is

[00:11:21] shut off to the world which is apparently so called

[00:11:23] a street bit but it's only used for events or

[00:11:26] correct.

[00:11:26] I just people who drive it out and it's on a manmade

[00:11:29] island which is something we'll hear all the

[00:11:31] commentators say it 3000 times this race weekend

[00:11:34] not the dam and this island and it's been a part

[00:11:37] of the Olympics and in fact there is there's a

[00:11:40] water basin which is a rectangular water basin

[00:11:43] just at the backside of the circuit which is used

[00:11:45] for water sports throwing and see but some of

[00:11:48] it just bums me you know do Canadians not have

[00:11:51] boats like you know in America typically you just

[00:11:54] create a piece of land don't put water and call

[00:11:56] it a Marina and then everybody calls it a Marina

[00:11:58] and sells expensive tickets.

[00:12:00] Why can't they do that at the Gilles Villeneuve

[00:12:03] Circuit they have water it's right next to I

[00:12:07] mean the circuit is surrounded by water okay

[00:12:11] but anyway I we only do the good stuff for

[00:12:13] my yeah we only do the good stuff for everyone

[00:12:15] listening in from Canada from America from

[00:12:17] around the world this is just pure sarcasm okay I

[00:12:20] know that the land is of course elevated and

[00:12:23] then you don't if you if you're watching it

[00:12:26] from a yacht you want access and visibility of

[00:12:29] the circuit which is what she will be love doesn't

[00:12:33] offer but memories 20 I have to ask you you

[00:12:38] now now you'll remember it's little old maybe

[00:12:41] but two world champions fighting P1 P2 one of

[00:12:44] them misses the misses a corner then goes and

[00:12:49] switches the ball art because he gets a penalty

[00:12:51] post race you know what I'm talking about yes yes

[00:12:54] you see it's interesting because 2021-22 around

[00:12:57] that and 32 when the race came here I was completely

[00:13:01] in a blind spot remembering Sebastian Vettel

[00:13:04] at that 2019 race but now that it's been five

[00:13:06] years yeah five years I remember it clear as

[00:13:09] daylight it's it's the past bias maybe someday

[00:13:12] you will remember what exactly happened at the

[00:13:14] 2022 French EP as well at some point do you

[00:13:17] remember what happened there was our friend

[00:13:19] from train 22 but yeah well I mean but that's

[00:13:27] the sort of thing legitimately coming back to

[00:13:28] all the serious points about the race could

[00:13:30] really happen because in that generation of cars

[00:13:34] it was obviously harder to follow but the

[00:13:36] circuit is such that it gives you so many

[00:13:38] opportunities to come around and be close to

[00:13:40] each other not really the fastest corners but

[00:13:44] lots of flowing ones the walls are always close

[00:13:46] by and because you've got those two long

[00:13:49] straights in the last and the first sector there's

[00:13:52] tons of openness and that really means that

[00:13:54] you can be along a lot of times and of course

[00:13:57] drivers will prefer to be away from each other

[00:13:59] so that they can cool down their cars but as

[00:14:02] the stints get longer and as you come towards

[00:14:05] the end of the race we've seen lots of

[00:14:07] drivers getting better same thing in 2014 with

[00:14:11] Perez and the Williams same thing in 2019 with

[00:14:13] Vettel as well before he tapered off towards

[00:14:15] the very end same thing last year Carlos

[00:14:17] Sainz was very very good and that is particularly

[00:14:21] towards the end of the SIN so watch for that

[00:14:23] in Canada and also maybe also watch for just

[00:14:27] how much the curbs impact Red Bull because

[00:14:29] if they were terrible in Monaco that's

[00:14:31] largely down to the fact that they were not

[00:14:33] really other places where they could gain a

[00:14:35] lot of time with Montreal there's lots of other

[00:14:38] open corners lot more corners than Monaco

[00:14:41] comparatively a lot more places where they

[00:14:42] can't really gain time so Red Bull shouldn't be

[00:14:45] that bad but that only means that we get to

[00:14:48] see a fair competition between them

[00:14:49] McLaren and Ferrari which is better for us

[00:14:51] yes which is absolutely the one narrative

[00:14:55] we want which is a narrative which we will

[00:14:57] keep playing up you know because

[00:15:02] Max Wischappan has said come up Barcelona

[00:15:04] he's gonna have it easy when the track is smooth

[00:15:06] but we're all like hey can we just put bumps in

[00:15:08] every track like Bernie wanted to put

[00:15:10] sprinklers at every track to spice it up

[00:15:12] I was like can we just put bumps in every track

[00:15:14] but in all seriousness like I said

[00:15:18] it's a permanent race circuit not really used

[00:15:20] too much apart from all the races that you

[00:15:22] know it's contracted to 3 DRS zones short pit lane

[00:15:26] 18.5 seconds under green conditions 9.5

[00:15:30] under you know safety virtual safety car

[00:15:34] conditions and since 2015 there's been almost

[00:15:37] a 50% chance of an SC and the VSC so

[00:15:40] expect that to be a part of the strategy

[00:15:45] always ends up being a two stopper race as well

[00:15:48] so that's something we could look forward to

[00:15:52] this weekend and it is one more thing to

[00:15:55] look forward to some which is the driver

[00:15:58] who actually is gonna call this a home race

[00:16:02] home race oh yeah yeah yeah yeah we do have a

[00:16:04] driver with the home race yeah and wait

[00:16:07] does he have a grandstand as well now

[00:16:10] most of us actually had a grandstand for a few

[00:16:12] seasons now by the way that grandstand is

[00:16:17] fully sold out already wait like his seat

[00:16:24] like the launch troll seat has been sold out

[00:16:26] with a lot of troll grants that this goes

[00:16:28] well yeah yeah here's the interesting thing

[00:16:30] that's a bloody bloody good reference okay

[00:16:33] there are terms to his grandstand seat much

[00:16:35] like every other grandstand but I'm gonna extrapolate

[00:16:38] this it's 635 Canadian dollars for a three

[00:16:41] day ticket but there is a possibility of

[00:16:44] three different people attending over three

[00:16:48] days of the race weekend I think that's

[00:16:51] I think that's what should be a part of

[00:16:53] the landstrolls contract as well three

[00:16:55] different drivers should be permitted to drive

[00:16:58] that car three different times in the year

[00:17:02] or whatever you know at least gets more people

[00:17:05] but it's at the end of the hairpin on the

[00:17:07] left side just when before you accelerate up

[00:17:10] that left kink I would say that's where

[00:17:12] the landstroll grandstand is so that's sold

[00:17:14] out I'm not going to go for all the

[00:17:17] landstroll slander today though he's

[00:17:19] outqualified Fernando loads of twice now

[00:17:21] yeah and yeah and and yeah that's a bit

[00:17:24] of a strange thing because Fernando was out

[00:17:27] qualifying the car and himself and landstroll

[00:17:30] in the first five races of the season the last

[00:17:32] three races Fernando had a tortuous qualifying

[00:17:35] he didn't even make it to Q3 three races

[00:17:36] in a row which is abysmal but that's just

[00:17:41] the nature of Aston Martin I think they're

[00:17:43] just settling in still every time they bring

[00:17:45] upgrades the car just becomes bad and untrivable

[00:17:47] they take a few races in then they settle

[00:17:49] and then they're back somewhere that's

[00:17:51] what happened in 2023 that's probably

[00:17:53] what's happening now as well but I do

[00:17:55] believe they will bounce back and what

[00:17:58] what a race to bounce back at if it is

[00:18:01] Canada wait but that reminds me do you

[00:18:05] know where they were in 2023 after the

[00:18:08] Monaco Grand Prix I don't know whether

[00:18:09] they were there you okay you mean on

[00:18:11] the table I thought maybe they were in

[00:18:13] a party in the table yeah for missing

[00:18:16] are on the race win in 2023 but they must

[00:18:19] have been they must have been because

[00:18:21] after Monaco 2023 Aston Martin had 120

[00:18:25] points and was second Fernando Alonso was

[00:18:28] third in the drivers championship with 93

[00:18:31] points large stroll was eighth with 27

[00:18:35] points believe you me the same Aston

[00:18:38] Martin this year in the constructor

[00:18:40] standings well what can I say a grand

[00:18:43] total of 44 points in fifth the mighty

[00:18:47] have fallen so bad like a year makes an

[00:18:50] entire year's worth of difference

[00:18:53] original line right that's a good one

[00:18:56] and Yuki Sonoda is actually ahead of

[00:18:59] Lance Troll in the constructors or in

[00:19:01] the drivers championship right which

[00:19:04] in itself is pretty pretty interesting

[00:19:07] thing because that's just how it goes

[00:19:09] but let's see how Lance Troll goes

[00:19:11] he's his best finish in Canada has been

[00:19:14] ninth or all these years and that is

[00:19:17] another driver Canadian driver who's

[00:19:19] faded away into oblivion Nikola Latifi I

[00:19:21] wonder if he's going to show up in the

[00:19:22] paddock and you know is going to show

[00:19:26] his face because last we know that he

[00:19:28] was taking a break to go and study

[00:19:30] so yeah maybe he takes a break from

[00:19:32] his studies to come and attend to

[00:19:34] country but I don't think anyone

[00:19:35] wants to hear his stories so probably

[00:19:37] he's just not of interest to because

[00:19:40] you know typically former drivers come

[00:19:42] to meet teams nobody's interested in

[00:19:44] signing him even though so many drivers

[00:19:46] seats are available or media wants to

[00:19:48] talk to them and get some perspective

[00:19:50] of what they've been up to but sorry

[00:19:52] Nicholas but that's pretty much about

[00:19:54] it I guess I want to hear his stories

[00:19:58] after he's done with this education

[00:19:59] let's actually try to get him on the

[00:20:00] show no that'll be cool yeah if we

[00:20:03] can let's do it just yeah just just

[00:20:05] you know what it's like to be

[00:20:08] Nicholas Latifi and generally like the

[00:20:10] whole mentality of being a paid driver

[00:20:12] like do they know the expectations that

[00:20:14] have been set up against them do they

[00:20:15] know that the expectations are lower

[00:20:17] for them compared to the teammates in

[00:20:19] the other car how do you deal with

[00:20:20] the whole psychology it's that'll be

[00:20:24] fun that'll be fun to hear yeah but

[00:20:26] let's get back to serious stuff because

[00:20:29] you said McLaren serious rainbow

[00:20:31] God for our dagger dagger to Latifi

[00:20:35] yeah I mean probably got several

[00:20:40] years ago when he didn't get a renewal

[00:20:42] despite paying all the millions but

[00:20:46] coming to McLaren Ferrari Red Bull of

[00:20:49] course we spoke Red Bull will they

[00:20:51] handle the curbs the interesting thing

[00:20:53] for me Somal is in in Monaco

[00:20:56] McLaren were the quicker car but

[00:20:59] obviously Ferrari and Charlotte Claire

[00:21:01] won okay and that's just how Monaco is

[00:21:06] so we'd I'd love to see where that

[00:21:07] pecking order is fallen with all the

[00:21:09] upgrades and everyone extracting

[00:21:11] everything that they can McLaren for

[00:21:13] the record have had the most wins for

[00:21:15] any teams with 13 wins and most polls

[00:21:19] for any team with 11 polls right so

[00:21:22] that's McLaren's might and I think

[00:21:25] they've not got any polls in the last

[00:21:27] week and last not week technically

[00:21:30] they've not had it since a week but

[00:21:32] they've not they've not had a poll for

[00:21:34] over a decade out here I would say so

[00:21:36] that's that's the interesting part but

[00:21:38] the most interesting part about

[00:21:39] McLaren is the car is gone quicker in

[00:21:42] slow corners and they're like we don't

[00:21:43] know it's cars over delivering and

[00:21:45] we're going to try and find out what's

[00:21:46] happening and that's the most

[00:21:48] McLaren like thing that could happen

[00:21:50] to my client imagine Ron Dennis who

[00:21:52] just celebrated his 77th birthday a

[00:21:54] couple of days ago probably reads

[00:21:56] that he's like my goodness they've

[00:21:58] built a fast car and they don't know

[00:22:00] why it's going fast I guess we'll take

[00:22:04] it and we'll see what's on it's no

[00:22:08] plans just wipes just for the McLaren

[00:22:10] motto seems to be like is we will figure

[00:22:12] it out but you're right about that

[00:22:14] that the whole faster car debate is

[00:22:18] one that keeps evolving because again

[00:22:19] as we go to more circuits we find

[00:22:21] out that some circuits work better

[00:22:23] for some cars than the other ones

[00:22:25] and this traditionally given the way

[00:22:28] McLaren's car functions this should

[00:22:30] be a really good one for them we've

[00:22:32] got tons of tons of medium speed

[00:22:34] corners tons of low speed ones as well

[00:22:36] it's just a matter of driving now and

[00:22:39] in Monaco the clerk was the ace

[00:22:41] driver he really smashed it out of

[00:22:44] the park can McLaren nail that one

[00:22:46] qualifying lap and knowing that red

[00:22:49] bull are going to be better here than

[00:22:50] Monaco because obviously it's a longer

[00:22:52] circuit more straights place into their

[00:22:54] hands more higher speed corners

[00:22:56] compared to Monaco so they'll obviously

[00:22:57] be more comfortable then it'll come

[00:23:00] into the fray even more so so that's

[00:23:03] going to be a genuinely fun story to

[00:23:04] watch about who really pulls together

[00:23:07] that lap because no longer do we have

[00:23:09] what's happened buffer then the other

[00:23:11] teams it's all coming together and

[00:23:14] that means more excitement for all of

[00:23:15] us absolutely for the record the last

[00:23:18] McLaren pole was 2010 with Lewis

[00:23:21] Hamilton so Piastri and Norris have

[00:23:23] the opportunity can you imagine 15 years

[00:23:26] and they still have the most number of

[00:23:29] pole positions and wins for a team right

[00:23:33] but you're right that the driver but

[00:23:36] that tells a story that's sorry but

[00:23:38] that tells a story that this circuit

[00:23:41] never really fits in well for just

[00:23:43] anyone because even while Mercedes was

[00:23:45] dominating Red Bull one here a few

[00:23:47] times even when Mercedes was

[00:23:49] though Mercedes was dominating towards

[00:23:51] the end of their raid Ferrari were

[00:23:52] close to winning and even a Red Bull

[00:23:55] is 100% clean domination it's not

[00:23:56] always just been dead Aston Martin were

[00:23:58] close to getting pole with a Lonzo last

[00:24:00] year so it's not a clear cut scenario

[00:24:03] of one car one track like Barcelona

[00:24:05] or Spa it still has a lot in it

[00:24:08] that's a beautiful insight because

[00:24:11] especially with the field as close

[00:24:13] as it is now we've been seeing Q1

[00:24:15] is separated by 1 1.1 second the

[00:24:18] driver is actually making such a big

[00:24:21] difference more than anything else in

[00:24:23] the car and Leclerc of course nailed

[00:24:27] it he could score his 25th pole

[00:24:29] position this weekend also his 7th

[00:24:33] race win in Formula 1 but some more

[00:24:36] interesting Leclerc stats he's on a

[00:24:37] 17 race point scoring streak which

[00:24:42] believe it or not is his longest right

[00:24:45] and somewhere I don't believe he's

[00:24:48] recently made a typical mistake

[00:24:50] because when I think of a mistake I

[00:24:52] remember Miami last year when changing

[00:24:55] wind conditions and he just spun and

[00:24:57] went in but so it's also a streak of

[00:24:59] a mistake less race execution weekend

[00:25:02] that he's had and of course Leclerc

[00:25:04] has been on the podium three

[00:25:05] consecutive races and believe it

[00:25:07] or not some of his longest streak

[00:25:10] for being Charlotte Claire and having

[00:25:12] driven that Ferrari since 2019 is

[00:25:16] longest streak of pole positions or

[00:25:18] rather longest streak of podiums it's

[00:25:20] just five can you imagine Leclerc's

[00:25:24] longest streak of podiums is just five

[00:25:26] races yes painful unbelievable isn't

[00:25:31] it yeah that'll change that'll change

[00:25:33] for sure but that that just creates a

[00:25:36] question in my mind that I'd love to

[00:25:39] know your perspective on this and how

[00:25:41] you see the sport what have you

[00:25:43] noticed that after Carlos Sainz got his

[00:25:45] first win he became a different driver

[00:25:47] after Landon Orris has gotten his first

[00:25:49] win he's attacking with intensity like

[00:25:52] he's never done and now that we see

[00:25:55] Charlotte Claire finally getting that big

[00:25:57] win after those many years you think

[00:26:00] that can really unlock a different gear

[00:26:02] because I just got just feeling that

[00:26:04] when drivers win after a very very

[00:26:06] long time or just win for the first

[00:26:07] time in history they just they're

[00:26:11] driving and the way they approach it

[00:26:12] and the way they talk to the media

[00:26:13] and the way they talk to the engineers

[00:26:15] of the radio you can just tell that

[00:26:16] they're exponentially more confident in

[00:26:18] their ability than they ever have been

[00:26:21] and that confidence was seemingly down

[00:26:24] for Leclerc for a quite long time now

[00:26:26] that he's won you see we could see a

[00:26:27] different Leclerc that's a brilliant

[00:26:29] example because for being Charlotte

[00:26:31] Claire who you know Jacques Villeneuve

[00:26:33] has very famously said everyone's

[00:26:34] treating him as a world champion even

[00:26:36] though he's not one okay no to

[00:26:38] have these wins to be able to show

[00:26:40] he's able to put it in not make a

[00:26:42] mistake get Ferrari to execute a race

[00:26:44] and and a qualifying the way he wants

[00:26:46] and then to of course win in Monaco

[00:26:48] which is an even bigger high for him

[00:26:50] I'd love to see how it sort of you

[00:26:52] know takes the weight off his shoulders

[00:26:54] gets him to challenge you know max

[00:26:57] wish to happen Lando Norris Oscar

[00:26:58] Piastri and color science as much

[00:27:01] as he can because we should also

[00:27:03] remember each time max loses a race

[00:27:05] he actually comes back with a vengeance

[00:27:07] as well so could it also be that

[00:27:09] max wish to happen is is waiting

[00:27:12] to strike back and show everyone

[00:27:14] that hey like Singapore 2023

[00:27:18] this is just another blip in in

[00:27:22] this is just another blip in my ultra

[00:27:24] dominant career or whatever you call

[00:27:27] it but if you believe in numerology

[00:27:30] yours yours a fun one okay

[00:27:33] the 2024 formula one season is 33.3333

[00:27:37] percentage completed could this work

[00:27:41] in favor of driver number 33

[00:27:44] driver 33 of course is max wish to happen

[00:27:46] even though he uses number one number 33

[00:27:50] is still reserved for him so technically

[00:27:54] if numerology works it could be his race weekend

[00:27:57] yeah yeah that'll be that'll be

[00:28:01] that'll be fun I mean just where Sergio

[00:28:04] Perez ranks up in that whole battle

[00:28:05] how close but clarinah what sort of a race

[00:28:09] do Ferrari have a Mercedes in Asin

[00:28:11] Martin let's set the better to be honest

[00:28:13] it's going to be another tough tough weekend

[00:28:15] all the way around again it'll help

[00:28:18] put this less heat in Canada compared

[00:28:20] to all the other circuits which

[00:28:21] according to Mercedes plays in their favor

[00:28:23] but apart from that it's all a

[00:28:25] bit of a mystery right it is and

[00:28:27] I'm gonna just say one last thing on

[00:28:29] on max wish to happen so I have family

[00:28:32] actually going to the race this weekend

[00:28:34] okay and my cousin whose name is

[00:28:38] yos and I'm not making it up his name

[00:28:40] is yos and he was named after

[00:28:44] yos wish to happen okay because

[00:28:47] he's he's wow he's eight years younger

[00:28:50] to me no seven years younger to me

[00:28:52] and then Indian yeah he is Indian

[00:28:54] and Indian guy named yos yes

[00:28:56] so his Indian name is Josh but

[00:28:59] okay but you know ever since growing

[00:29:02] up because of your switch to happen

[00:29:03] I always call him yos the boss so yos

[00:29:05] the boss is taking a whole bunch of family

[00:29:08] people we were planning to visit as well

[00:29:10] but I can't be elsewhere during an f1

[00:29:13] weekend so I'm not visiting with them

[00:29:16] but that's the the the yos and the wish

[00:29:18] to happen connection that I have with

[00:29:20] my family racing there but I know

[00:29:23] you switch to Mercedes the cooler

[00:29:25] conditions I think the other aspect

[00:29:28] about Mercedes which everyone's going

[00:29:30] to want to look out for is Lewis

[00:29:32] Hamilton saying I don't think I'm going

[00:29:34] to out qualify George in 2024 at all

[00:29:37] ever so everyone's going to sort of try

[00:29:39] and understand what he meant why he

[00:29:41] meant that and 7 1 is clearly the

[00:29:46] number that's bothering everyone

[00:29:49] saying Lewis has been out qualified

[00:29:51] by George Russell seven time seven

[00:29:55] times in the eight races this season

[00:29:57] one for every world championship

[00:30:00] Wow that's painful that hurts that hurts

[00:30:03] yeah yeah but but Mark Hughes you know

[00:30:07] the famous Mark Hughes right he actually

[00:30:09] broke it down he fuel adjusted their

[00:30:12] gaps and the gap the actual gap between

[00:30:16] Russell and Hamilton is 0.062

[00:30:20] which is a second closest gap

[00:30:23] amongst all the drivers from the

[00:30:25] first eight races of the season

[00:30:26] the closest gap is between Norris and

[00:30:29] Piaz three which is 0.042 okay so

[00:30:34] actually the gap isn't as much it's

[00:30:36] just that George's qualified and I'm

[00:30:39] sure lots of conditions that come in

[00:30:43] new front wing old front wing some

[00:30:45] execution related traffic related issue

[00:30:47] etc no excuses but these are the

[00:30:49] numbers that the teams look in and

[00:30:51] for context the slowest or the

[00:30:53] largest gap here is not Albin and

[00:30:57] Sergeant Somal the largest gap is

[00:31:01] which tap in Paris three tenths in

[00:31:04] qualifying wow wow and an extension

[00:31:09] is coming apparently believe me that

[00:31:12] could probably be it right there is

[00:31:14] some Mercedes thing where they are

[00:31:16] saying not Mercedes road Red Bull is

[00:31:18] gonna start a broadcast and make some

[00:31:20] sort of an announcement about hey

[00:31:23] there is some some news coming in

[00:31:26] could it really be so Joe Perez it is

[00:31:29] being you know the product believes

[00:31:31] that an extension is coming his way of

[00:31:33] one year contract extension to see

[00:31:36] where it all falls in I believe if

[00:31:39] his extension is coming in there is

[00:31:42] a slight hint that max will continue

[00:31:44] to stay because they wouldn't want

[00:31:47] to not take Carlos signs if he's

[00:31:51] available which he is if max which

[00:31:53] happens going away so that could

[00:31:54] probably be the piece of the puzzle

[00:31:56] which which might fall in place

[00:31:58] slowly and steadily the driver market

[00:31:59] is falling in place but a bit

[00:32:01] burned that you key sonoda okay for

[00:32:05] all the performances he's had this

[00:32:07] year will actually not be a beneficiary

[00:32:11] of those performances so for the

[00:32:13] record you keys been in Q3 six out

[00:32:17] of the eight races this season

[00:32:20] which is just the same number of

[00:32:22] times is Lewis Hamilton and is

[00:32:25] actually more than Fernando

[00:32:28] Lonso and Lance strolls this is

[00:32:30] just qualifying okay if you would

[00:32:32] consider the amount of contribution

[00:32:34] you keys made to Alpha towerie or

[00:32:38] rather racing bulls as we as we

[00:32:40] are called as they are called now

[00:32:41] okay racing bulls has got 24

[00:32:44] points already in 2024 in just

[00:32:49] first eight races of the season

[00:32:51] they are just one point away from

[00:32:54] their total tally in 2023 and guys

[00:32:58] and girls you all remember it's not

[00:32:59] Daniel Ricardo who's been the one

[00:33:01] who's scoring okay it's actually

[00:33:03] been you keys sonoda who's done

[00:33:06] the heavy lifting and I know

[00:33:08] everyone remembers Ricardo's fourth

[00:33:10] position in the sprint in was it

[00:33:13] yeah it was in Suzuka I guess

[00:33:15] right but we've got to remember

[00:33:17] Ricardo is one of the only 18

[00:33:19] drivers who scored points to have

[00:33:20] not scored in a Grand Prix but have

[00:33:23] scored in a sprint format so Daniel

[00:33:25] Ricardo has of course got five

[00:33:28] points with you keys sonoda has

[00:33:31] gotten 19 points which is eight

[00:33:35] more than Lance stroll eight is

[00:33:39] crazy in a car that's clearly not

[00:33:41] as good in a car that's clearly

[00:33:43] not as good the bottom four of the

[00:33:46] teams I would say if you were to

[00:33:48] put it as that even the bottom four

[00:33:49] teams some will they've all finished

[00:33:50] 11th at least once this season this

[00:33:52] means Williams Sauber who else is

[00:33:57] there house racing bulls you count

[00:34:01] all of them they've all finished

[00:34:03] 11th and that itself shows that

[00:34:05] they've got the pace and it's just

[00:34:06] a very very tight field but the

[00:34:08] other driver I really want to have

[00:34:09] my eyes on is Fernando Lonso

[00:34:12] he's been outside of the points

[00:34:13] for the last two races and even

[00:34:15] though he you know funnily thought

[00:34:17] here he was racing for 10th place

[00:34:18] in Monaco you realize he wasn't

[00:34:19] 10th only after the checkered flag

[00:34:22] dropped right but the last time

[00:34:24] Fernando Lonso finished a race

[00:34:26] but was outside of the points

[00:34:28] two back to back races was in

[00:34:30] 2021 in Spain and Monaco so

[00:34:33] typically around Spain and Monaco

[00:34:35] and this time of the year

[00:34:37] something happens is a dip in form

[00:34:38] and then he just rise back from

[00:34:40] the ashes we'll see Canada's

[00:34:43] normally one of his better circuits

[00:34:44] qualified second here last year

[00:34:46] think he's one here before as well

[00:34:49] has he not but he's he's generally

[00:34:51] he has with Renato in 2006

[00:34:55] exactly he's generally generally

[00:34:57] quite good yeah but before we move

[00:35:00] on to talking about Esteban O'Conn

[00:35:02] we need to firstly thank one of our

[00:35:05] reviewers and that has to be

[00:35:06] Don Chir who's listening to us

[00:35:08] from the USA via Apple podcasts

[00:35:10] and he says love these guys as

[00:35:12] an American I fell in love with

[00:35:14] Formula One and started listening

[00:35:15] to a bunch of the podcasts but no

[00:35:17] longer all but one or two of them

[00:35:19] were followed off my list and

[00:35:21] these guys are so interesting

[00:35:22] mostly stats and fact driven as

[00:35:24] opposed to gossip and chat they

[00:35:26] know what they're talking about

[00:35:27] thank you don't you I mean

[00:35:29] yeah these these things get

[00:35:32] you to carry on all the time

[00:35:33] don't they yeah my goodness

[00:35:35] thank you very much let's

[00:35:38] let me just throw a stat just

[00:35:40] because hi stats and facts

[00:35:43] I've been appreciated on our show

[00:35:44] six different drivers have had

[00:35:46] the fastest lap in the last six

[00:35:47] races that helps and like I said

[00:35:50] 18 drivers have scored points

[00:35:52] and Ricardo is yet to score in

[00:35:54] the Grand Prix format okay

[00:35:56] but all eyes on Esteban O'Conn

[00:35:58] what a heartfelt apology or

[00:36:01] was it heartfelt for you did

[00:36:02] you feel for him some I don't

[00:36:04] know I just get confused when

[00:36:05] people use words like I'm

[00:36:07] deeply saddened by something

[00:36:09] have you been deeply saddened

[00:36:11] by something good all it

[00:36:13] does can you ever be deeply

[00:36:16] saddened by something it

[00:36:18] depends if it's a personal loss

[00:36:20] but yeah let's not I don't know

[00:36:22] it's not his first language

[00:36:23] English maybe his PR agent

[00:36:24] has written it for him which

[00:36:27] yeah I mean all the abuses

[00:36:28] all the hate which is which

[00:36:30] is on social media and wanted

[00:36:31] and everyone's trying to pull

[00:36:32] him down and stuff and not

[00:36:35] call him a team player which

[00:36:37] Fernando Lonso has not been

[00:36:38] called as well for the longest

[00:36:40] times but you have to be all

[00:36:42] the time but sometimes it's

[00:36:43] better not to be one but

[00:36:45] given the circumstances given

[00:36:46] the scenarios given the two

[00:36:48] incidents not just one in

[00:36:49] Monaco it it's pretty fair

[00:36:53] for the kind of backlash she

[00:36:54] receives internally but it's

[00:36:55] certainly all that I just

[00:36:56] remember one in the race oh

[00:36:58] so before they had the crash

[00:37:01] at Portier they also went to

[00:37:03] the inside of gasoline they

[00:37:05] almost crashed really that was

[00:37:07] up going up the hill yeah but

[00:37:08] no I thought it was the other

[00:37:09] way that Gossley tried to put

[00:37:10] him in not put him in the wall

[00:37:12] but squeeze him a little bit

[00:37:13] squeeze it a little bit yeah

[00:37:14] exactly so they all

[00:37:14] most collided here Gossley made

[00:37:16] the first attack and then

[00:37:17] O'Connor lost it at Portier

[00:37:19] or whatever exactly but I

[00:37:21] think the Bruno famine

[00:37:22] statement that came about

[00:37:24] considering consequences may

[00:37:27] not trace in Canada was all

[00:37:28] drive to survive led I strongly

[00:37:30] believe so because I don't

[00:37:32] think a driver ever in the

[00:37:33] history of the sport has been

[00:37:38] asked to sit out I don't think

[00:37:39] the contract necessarily covers

[00:37:43] these kind of situations

[00:37:45] because you know eventually

[00:37:47] you're always going for a gap

[00:37:48] that exists you say I saw a gap

[00:37:50] and I went it just so happened

[00:37:51] it was my teammate you know

[00:37:52] yeah so how do you find

[00:37:54] that in court like basically

[00:37:56] if it all comes to it

[00:37:57] that in one time which for

[00:38:00] some drivers it might how do

[00:38:01] you prove that in court

[00:38:02] like what do you do it's

[00:38:04] it's hard because at

[00:38:06] the end of the day it's

[00:38:06] a contract right and it's

[00:38:08] all legal terms so the legal

[00:38:10] terms will say if the driver

[00:38:12] misbehaves of causes any

[00:38:13] debt to harm the other

[00:38:15] driver which is again great

[00:38:16] it's subjective like the rules

[00:38:18] of our very sport and then

[00:38:20] that is a court case

[00:38:21] that could go on for a long

[00:38:22] long time and correctly

[00:38:23] if I'm wrong Grosjean being

[00:38:25] forced to sit out in 2012

[00:38:26] was also a penalty point

[00:38:28] thing not a exactly not

[00:38:30] a devotion or something like

[00:38:32] that no no it was it was

[00:38:33] because of those 12 points

[00:38:35] on the penalty license

[00:38:36] which is what Kevin

[00:38:37] Mugnewson is trying to avoid

[00:38:38] desperately

[00:38:39] but he's only possibly

[00:38:41] 11 right he's

[00:38:43] he's on 10 he's on 10

[00:38:44] he actually I don't know

[00:38:45] how he missed out on Monaco

[00:38:46] so one more race

[00:38:47] where he's got to wait

[00:38:48] and hope that he doesn't

[00:38:50] really get anything

[00:38:51] but on a final point

[00:38:53] before we get to predictions

[00:38:54] you know we've heard of

[00:38:56] you know Alpina sacked

[00:38:58] somebody new not new

[00:38:59] somebody who's been with

[00:39:00] the team for a long time

[00:39:01] Simone Noresta has left

[00:39:03] Ferrari after 23 years

[00:39:05] joining Mercedes

[00:39:06] so it's a typical formula one

[00:39:08] teams you hear of things

[00:39:10] like these right

[00:39:11] engineering people

[00:39:11] leaving going

[00:39:12] coming etc.

[00:39:14] Yeah

[00:39:14] but here's an engine

[00:39:15] here's a formula one

[00:39:16] team called Andretti

[00:39:18] dying to get into formula

[00:39:19] one they have hired

[00:39:21] two American lobbying firms

[00:39:24] to assist them

[00:39:25] in their efforts

[00:39:26] to have the US Congress

[00:39:27] put pressure on formula

[00:39:29] one can you imagine

[00:39:31] they've not even made

[00:39:32] it to formula one

[00:39:33] but they've created

[00:39:34] two new jobs

[00:39:34] in a formula one team

[00:39:36] which is to get a lobbying

[00:39:37] for which is pretty typical

[00:39:39] for American businesses

[00:39:41] let's keep that in mind

[00:39:42] but and and everyone's

[00:39:45] chasing Adrian Newey

[00:39:46] but guess what

[00:39:47] we are going to first

[00:39:48] get those lobbying

[00:39:49] firms out there

[00:39:50] but they also got

[00:39:52] someone on the formula

[00:39:54] one sporting regulation

[00:39:56] board basically

[00:39:57] they got back to them

[00:39:58] yeah he's the one

[00:39:59] who is influential

[00:40:00] in designing these

[00:40:01] regulations for the current

[00:40:02] generation of formula

[00:40:03] one cars

[00:40:04] and after he's done with

[00:40:05] the stint at formula one

[00:40:07] he goes back to Andretti

[00:40:10] think that is wild

[00:40:12] for it's a big ticket

[00:40:13] move for a team

[00:40:14] that literally has no entry

[00:40:16] yeah I

[00:40:18] it's wow

[00:40:18] man this

[00:40:19] this is

[00:40:19] I think the biggest

[00:40:20] non-entry saga

[00:40:21] that we've ever seen

[00:40:22] in formula one

[00:40:23] we had usf one

[00:40:24] almost get the entry

[00:40:25] not really work

[00:40:25] out story of that

[00:40:26] was on the inside

[00:40:27] line of one podcast

[00:40:28] we had

[00:40:30] we had Peter Winster

[00:40:31] share that

[00:40:31] and also Bob Varsha

[00:40:32] so lots of

[00:40:34] fun stuff on that team

[00:40:35] but the 2010

[00:40:37] teams coming in

[00:40:38] that was a big story

[00:40:39] we saw some

[00:40:39] major teams try to come in

[00:40:40] come out

[00:40:41] but never to this scale

[00:40:42] like ever

[00:40:44] absolutely never

[00:40:46] to this scale

[00:40:47] two lobbying firms

[00:40:49] just the way it goes

[00:40:50] but on that note

[00:40:52] why don't

[00:40:53] why don't you

[00:40:54] tell me

[00:40:55] do you think a driver

[00:40:56] this is going to predictions

[00:40:57] yeah

[00:40:58] do you think a driver

[00:40:58] is going to get in

[00:40:59] the wall of champions

[00:41:00] this weekend

[00:41:01] no never happens

[00:41:02] it's too rare

[00:41:04] I don't think so

[00:41:05] and large told us

[00:41:06] driven here enough

[00:41:06] so I think he

[00:41:07] should know it by now

[00:41:09] but he's not a champion

[00:41:11] so

[00:41:13] a formula three

[00:41:15] European champion

[00:41:16] and whatever year

[00:41:16] it was

[00:41:17] he's won something

[00:41:19] something

[00:41:20] and he's a champion

[00:41:20] for surviving

[00:41:21] receipt for so long

[00:41:22] takes a lot

[00:41:23] that

[00:41:24] oh goodness me

[00:41:25] you're leaving the best

[00:41:26] for his home race weekend

[00:41:27] I can sense that

[00:41:29] but

[00:41:29] who do you think

[00:41:30] is taking Paul

[00:41:31] Paul

[00:41:32] you know I'm actually going for Ferrari

[00:41:34] I'm going to go for

[00:41:35] look like this time as well

[00:41:36] who's your marion

[00:41:40] I'm going

[00:41:40] I'm going Ferrari for Paul

[00:41:41] and

[00:41:43] the stop it for the win

[00:41:44] like another look like

[00:41:45] Paul was that it would

[00:41:46] so

[00:41:48] one for that

[00:41:49] history books

[00:41:50] yes

[00:41:50] one for the history books

[00:41:51] I kind of feeling

[00:41:53] McLaren

[00:41:54] will be

[00:41:55] the team

[00:41:56] chasing red ball

[00:41:58] McLaren

[00:41:58] may be squeezing in a pole

[00:42:00] maybe Oscar Piasri

[00:42:01] stitching his lamps

[00:42:02] and sectors together

[00:42:03] putting it on Paul

[00:42:04] and then

[00:42:06] you know when this

[00:42:07] DRS is coming

[00:42:08] and the efficiencies of those

[00:42:09] DRS is are

[00:42:10] so good on the red balls

[00:42:11] that I think

[00:42:12] max will then take the win

[00:42:14] let's see could

[00:42:15] could be that even from P3

[00:42:17] after both the McLaren

[00:42:18] stick one to unqualifying

[00:42:19] maybe

[00:42:20] maybe yeah

[00:42:21] well

[00:42:22] oh that'll be

[00:42:23] that they could weekend

[00:42:24] yeah

[00:42:24] let's hope for something

[00:42:25] exciting to this scale

[00:42:27] when

[00:42:28] when we see the racing

[00:42:29] this weekend in Canada

[00:42:30] but of course

[00:42:30] we'll be back

[00:42:31] with the Canadian

[00:42:31] GB review

[00:42:32] immediately after that

[00:42:33] so

[00:42:34] be right here on the
