"Would be very cool. 20 more chances, haven't we? I'm sure a lot of those 20 will be match Verstappen, but it would be nice if there were a couple of other people in there as well. Well, here we go. We're going to a short break because of no China, but it seems weird to seasons just after now we stop again. JBL, when are you next on a plane and back in the paddock covering Formula One for us at autosport? I have the pleasure of the Baku Miami double header. So woohoo. It will be land in England on Tuesday, assuming all goes to plan. Short break and then out to Miami on the Wednesday. So it will be eat no sleep, race repeats, for a couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to it though. I haven't been tobacco since 2018 when I was working with F two and it would be my first time to Miami as well. So looking forward to soaking up a little bit of sun and I'll take some state appropriate shirts with me, palm trees, seize that sort of thing. We look forward to that. Reasons to stay tuned to auto sport dot com on the website and also pick up the magazine every Thursday as well if it's not already delivered is for all the stuff that happens afterwards, which it takes away a while to find out. A bit like the Australian Grand Prix corporation. The actual race promoters being called to the stewards for some fans getting a bit exuberant heading onto the track a little too early. Maybe they'll give them a 5 second penalty. They can decide science and Alonso very quickly, but I think they're still having a look at the two alpines. Four hours later, as far as I know, and the Hass protest continues, not because I think they want a podium, I think, because they are debating over whether it should go back to safety car line two, which would put them just one place ahead of Lando Norris with. Stay tuned to the website for outcomes of all of those and more. Thank you very much for listening to the auto sport podcast today and we'll catch you on the next one. Sports social podcast network.

"There is an argument that there's not a lot that you always nothing they can do about Aston Martin developing their way into a good position. But yeah, where do you see Alpine and McLaren making that? But having just said that, who could have predicted what Aston were going to do. So it is possible. And I think it's really interesting talking to some of the members of the team, particularly some of you guys down at Williams. They're actually inspired by seeing what Aston have done because it's like right. This is possible. It's a good story for Formula One and it's a good story for a lot of the teams. It's just ultimately, you know, it's the prize money thing, right? They're going to end up not doing as well because they haven't done good enough job. I'm going to get into that. Next, take a quick break and I'm going to dig into that a little bit more about what we should be expecting to see teams doing this year. Stick around back in a second. All right, let's talk about that. At the point, Alex just made teams being inspired by Aston Martin, revealed a car a year ago that was second slowest and by the middle of the season had a new development path and were on their way. And yet multiple times when I've asked people about Mercedes since the beginning of this year, I'm often told how Mercedes is going to dig themselves out of the Maya and people often say, well, in a cost cap era, that's really difficult. So those two things can't be true, Aston Martin did it in a cost cap era and didn't break the cost cap. So Mercedes should be able to do it. They've got a team of people that know how to win. Well, championships am I being a bit too simplistic? Only because astin made its major gain over a winter, like it did make significant gains in 2022, like I said, Phil, we're about to go after Melbourne, and I remember watching FP three with Andrew van leeuwen and Sebastian Vettel which has binned it because there was no down force and it was porpoising horrifically. And the car was just slow. They had made significant gains. They were up there a threat to the podium positions on merit in Austin and things like that. They would as well inconsistent. But then they had the new car coming behind. And that's really where they've made their game. So I take the point, I do take the point, but that is not quite the same comparison. Okay. Okay. So while the teams can do it, they can do an Aston over the next year or 18 months. It just refreshing to see this narrative of the cost cap has baked in this advantage for the big teams and the small teams will never be able to make a big step. I think that's been dispelled and I think that's really encouraging for Formula One. Let's look at I'm not giving a full rundown. Apologies listeners. A terrible podcast host. I should do that at the beginning of the podcast every week. You know Sergio Pérez won from Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso, who is back on the podium. George Russell Lewis Hamilton, science and leclerc in 6th and 7th, then ocon and gastly all going two by two and Kevin Magnussen in the house. Yuki tsunoda was just outside the point. He was inside the points, but he was 11th Nico hulkenberg 12th. Zhou guang yu in 13th Nick de vries in the AlphaTauri 14th Oscar piastre got past Logan sergeant finish 15th legan sergeant 16th, which I still think a good drive though, by the way, we get into that. And Lando Norris 17th Valtteri Bottas, classified 18th. Let me talk a little bit about McLaren, the Williams and that back end of the grade with AlphaTauri teams that are not where they should be or teams that are probably quite happy with how they're doing. McLaren couldn't pass. Well, okay, so Lando Norris in a McLaren couldn't pass a Williams, even with DRS. That actually panic stations at McLaren. Well, whether it's team orders and piastre got past him, he did get past Logan sergeant. Eventually. But Kev, this is, this is a difficult Monday morning to wake up to at McLaren, isn't it? Yeah, but they were kind of expecting weren't they? We talked about this after Bahrain that they were quite pleased because they thought it was going to be even worse than it was. And they got a load of updates coming. So I think they'll be encouraged by piastres performance in qualifying. I think we now can see that he is for whatever reason to step up from Ricardo in the second car. Obviously Landau had a little mistake in qualifying, which had big consequences, so he was kind of out of it from there. I was not like carrying a problem. Why did they switch the cars around? If Lando's the number one. Can I just jump in very, very quickly? It wasn't a little mistake, Kev. You didn't beat in the car. But it was a poor mistake. It was important. A little fire, a little size mistake, but it was bad from land. I think, and I know he reads my driver ratings. He should be very lucky that he's not being rated on qualifying this season now. Okay, so I think panic stations at McLaren more so than I ever ever have done based on today's you run. I mean, by which I mean the reason why not the 80s. Early 90s. I don't think there was many panic stations during that era. But yeah, I'm still not yet. Let's get to some more normal tracks. I don't think it's going to be quite as terrible as it looks at the moment. Don't forget they both had incidents on the first lap. They weren't down the back on Lando's end yet because you hit the wall and then you had to come in and get his nose changed and pastry was just, was he unlucky? I think it was just one of those unfortunate things that at that corner is possible to get a little bit squeezed and he just did with the Alpine. So yeah, unfortunate more at the start there for McLaren than any sort of shock reason for them being back there.

"Second round and he's getting penalties already. But they seemed quicker, at least a day, does this track suit the Ferraris more than Bahrain, are they going to be hopeful for Sunday? It should do with regards to tyre wear because this is something that's been a bugbear Ferraris for a little while now and they're not so great at managing the tyres and Bahrain really exacerbates that and it really magnifies that issue, particularly just because the tarmac is so abrasive the tarmac and Jeddah isn't anywhere near like that. So with regards to tyre wear and that kind of thing, it shouldn't affect Ferrari quite so much. But they were honestly a little bit surprised to be second in qualifying. And you know, without Verstappen's issue, yeah, it would have been P three, but that's still a good effort, nonetheless, to be a tenth and a half away from Perez's ultimate time. It does take that penalty, but he thinks that a podium again is very much possible. Leclerc said, you know, it's more possible for Carlos Sainz than it is for him, but it's something that Ferrari feels that it's achievable. And it knows that it's better with regards to race pace over qualifying, which I think is another contributing factor to why they were slightly surprised. But yeah, it's not all doom and gloom at Ferrari. Bahrain was a difficult round for them with regards to reliability and with tire wear. And they've been really behind the 8 ball so far this weekend, you know, the Ferraris haven't been really factoring at the top of the time sheets. There is the suspicion that they were perhaps running their engines quite detuned because they were just losing so much time in the straight lines in practice, but in qualifying, yeah, they seem to be much, much better in much better shape. And yeah, we'll see how they get on tomorrow if they can fight for a podium. If they can find something over Alonso that maybe Alonso had over them in Bahrain, we'll have to wait and see. Yeah, let's hope that Ferrari power unit is robust, they're not de rating it or anything because it was still good. Some decent performances at times for Hass now from over the weekend as well. So we'll wait and see on that in terms of that midfield battle when we thought we were going to be talking about Aston Alpine McLaren. Things are working out a little bit different this year with Aston Martin's progress, Alpine line up with ocon in 6th and gasly in 9th. Bahrain was a weird one because we saw ghastly making progress through the field ocon collecting time penalty. So I feel like we haven't really just had a chance to see them start where they should do and then progress from there. Is that where you expected them to be? This is probably a little bit more in line with what they promised as a team, perhaps over the off season. The car has been really, really strong. And it does seem quite wayward. So I was down one, two, and then it turns 22 and 23 on Friday. You could see the red balls going through the Aston Martins going through really, really, really stable. The Alpine looked a little bit all limbs kind of all a little bit wayward. It just seemed to produce the lap time where it needed to. To see gasly and knock on, up there, it's not it's probably where it should be given the progress that it's made. Ocon did have a little bit of a moment where he very nearly lost the current qualifying. And just about managed to keep it on the road. That was an issue that he had to face and he had to deal with, but it was a very, really strong performance from our pain. They'd looked really strong all weekend. So it's not a surprise given the context of the weekend to see them up there doing quite so well. Well, Oscar piastre and Lando Norris had both a little sniff of the wall this weekend. Oscar piastre getting away with it and in his second qualifying for McLaren, starting 8th on the road. Lando Norris down in 19th I had to retire him. Can you explain what happened to Lando Norris and if we heard from piastre afterwards as well? He must be made up. Let's be honest, it was sonoris fault there. He just got a little bit too overeager with trying to take the apex into the turn 27, which is the final corner. And just clip the wall when you do that, when you clip a concrete wall with your front left tyre, you're going to break something. And you could see that sort of tire wiggle where the suspension was just broken. And there was no chance of getting him back out in time. So that ended Norris session pretty much immediately. He'd managed to get at a lap in and this was his going to be a second lap that was a bit stronger, but unfortunately he wasn't able to clock that. Bias tree was really, really strong. And it was really good to see him in his first race doing such a first season doing such a good job given the difficulties that he endured in Bahrain. He did say that he was very, very careful when it came to Jared because he has raced at the circuit before in formula two. He's won here twice back when formula two was doing three races a weekend for some unknown reason. But he hasn't raced here for over a year. So he was slowly trying to build up for it. Slowly get used to it because it's such a difficult circuit for a rookie to deal with. But he was getting more and more comfortable. The lap time just seemed to come for him. And ultimately, yeah, he did a really, really good job. McLaren still knows that it's behind and it still has a lot of work to do with regards to its concept and development, but that really difficult Bahrain. The picture doesn't seem so bad now. And realistically, Norris probably should have been in Q three as well, given his pace in practice sessions. Maybe you've got a couple of tents on pediatric as well. So you would have to expect both of them to be in on had things been a little bit normal. Norris sort of given maybe a little bit of a quarter there in Q one. Yeah, people were quick to write off McLaren bottom of the constructors after the first round, but we haven't seen them do a full event yet, so a normal weekend. So this could be it. JBL, thank you very much. It's late here, which means it's very late for you. I appreciate you coming on the podcast. Thank you for that. We look forward to. Hearing more from you. This season. That is your podcast for today. I'll finish off Nico hulkenberg in tenth, Zhou guang knew in 11th, Charles Clarke 12th as I mentioned, Kevin Magnussen and his ass in his 13th place Valtteri Bottas is 14th, followed by Max Verstappen 15th, three places behind Charles Leclerc, big action last year. They won't be doing the dance for the DRS activation line because that's been moved till after the apex boo spoiling our fun, but they will be on a similar piece of the track as they both make their way through the field. A UK Samoa 16th Alex Alban in the Williams 17th Nick de vries in the AlphaTauri 18th Lando 19th, as we mentioned in Logan sergeant 20th. That is your lineup for Sunday. Thank you for listening to the podcast. And we'll catch you tomorrow. Podcast network.

"Dot com and hit the Discord button. This is a video. This is clearly a 146. There you never thought. I heard you might be in there. I haven't heard that. My dad is. But you never know. You don't even know. We've had some other chat topics in the Discord channel over the course of the week. We've got a stocks up in stock stem. It does seem like we had the natural segment. That we've been running for years. Whatever reason I keep trying to just persist with something that just doesn't work. Yeah, actually, you know, actually that is actually a great point. I'm just your oversee. That could go in the bin. We're bringing, that's it. That was actually very good segment. I can't believe I forgot about that. All right. Well, anyway, we've had a stocks up stocks down so we should from ja read. Andrea Seidel, that is, stocks up. This is real. Yes, yes, let the client go down for Alfa Romeo or Audi realistically. And stocks down from McLaren. Oh, that's real. That's absolutely real. I think he's got it in one. And I do think he said something interesting here. I really wonder what bad blood pushed piastres are jump ship with so much tension. And there is an open question here and maybe it could just all be coincidental, and we might discover that there is no problem with el paint. But when he left anyway, obviously it looks unfortunate down to these drop top McLaren, which looks a bit hopeless at the moment. But we can't forget that in the space of two years, the team claimed itself out, lost its team principal Daniel Ricciardo left his first opportunity Fernando Alonso left his first opportunity Mark Webber decided there was no future rosco piastre there. It does look like an ugly rap sheet, but as I say, I mean elephant did fairly good last year. I think they've still got a lot of potential to do well this year, not Aston Martin well, but I think they'll still be top of the midfield, which was their target. So it might be a coincidence, but I think that is a question that we look forward to getting answered in the next couple of seasons. Yeah, look, with Oscar piastre, I think he went to McLaren, and this was a perfect opportunity for him as a Richmond Tiger supported to go. You know what? I'm going to forget if you're with it, then good. And if not, then it's a bit nice knowing you. I try to wolf. He just needs to call McLaren strong and bold. It's a McLaren time. Or not. But we fly as one. It's very good. Every time I hear someone say strong and bold for some reason, I got enough Richmond games clearly. My brain assumes they're going to say strong enough. We're strong and not off. But it's delicious. We've done this to death, but I think the piastre thing with McLaren it's not really his call, I think. He just gets told you, do you mind if you go here instead? So yes. I think it's a bit out of his court, but clearly now a healthy sort of another news of since tightened their contract with their Alpine academy drivers. And to be honest, rightfully so. As well. Have a contract for PS3. It's even offering him one would have been a good start. Remarkable. Simple errors. That they have now rectified, which I think is good. But I think look, I personally, I still think he should have stayed at Alpine, even if Fernando stage was going to the Williams path, it would have been fine. But hindsight's a wonderful thing. But I think if he went to Alpine, it was a perfect opportunity to do a Lando Norris. Verstappen. The Lewis Hamilton build a tame around you. I think that's an opportunity list. Instead of a team falling apart around him, which may be what's happening at McLaren. Messaging from Hillary, who says bell lab that they are relentlessly positively delusional about Daniel Ricciardo returning to the grid and replacing Sergio Pérez next year. Yeah. Which I mean, on the face of one race. There is pretty well. Look, it's very, very, it's quite concerning because the belief, the pig headed belief that Daniel Ricciardo will come back to Formula One. It's not a guarantee. Now you could draw parallels between this and the insurrection. A capital hill. I'm willing to. You know, we're not quite there yet, we're going to have a coup inside Milton Keynes. And Daniel Ricciardo will be installed. You're not going to have, you know, where's Jonathan? Still have faith that Christian Horner's going to do the right thing. I'm surprised you haven't done enough Jonathan wheatley. We do Jared whiteley Jackson. By the way. He'll have a conversation later about that. But yeah, look, and personally, I'm still, I think this is a coping mechanism because he's not on the grid. He wasn't injured to survive and everyone's he wasn't drive to survive, but he was on the way out. And he's not around and there was that Twitch will land on Norris was just like, Danny Rick, Danny Rick. I miss him. And he genuinely sanded this bond with that. He realized, oh, there's actually something missing. He killed Danny. He killed him. It's kind of his fault. He did not have tanked a couple of races. For the greater good. So yeah, I'm still a little bit belief that Daniel Ricciardo will find a home inside Formula One, because I still think there's still some goodies left. I mean, the Fernando Alonso on the junket experience is doing so well as he is. Yes. As long as Daniel Ricciardo doesn't get too excited in LA and has a basketball franchise and makes TV shows and plays basketball again. I think if he focuses on F one next year, I think he can have at least probably another half a decade worth of F one and actually leave. And bookend his career with some good results. And I hope that's the case. But I think it's possible. Imagine if he'd gone to Aston Martin, he feed actively sought an alternative before getting sacked. I thought about this. That's pretty cool. On the Daniel Ricciardo thing though, the idea, I hope obviously I hope to see he's got a lot of racing left in him, I think. It's up to him to decide whether it only does, but he should on paper. But I couldn't help but feel sad as well as a video during the week or last week, round Bahrain, if I'm doing some kind of Red Bull activation where he was running in a variety of silly styles, different shoes on. That's not what his job should be. It shouldn't be. I felt sad. It was funny, but I had said. I know he's the chief optimism officer. I know it's a bullshit job, but and I know that, you know, he's silly and goofy natured at heart, but he's real talent on this earth such a driver ice cars very hard. Yeah, it's a shame that he's just a gift factory at the moment. The terrorists are the honorable thing in retirement. Just make it easy for everyone to play. Reside. We're going to miss you from Tilly Willie 13. That Sunday press conference was cringe of the highest storage talking about the supercars, unusual.

"Nuts. Absolutely not. It felt dangerous, but I am confident that they were sure. Lawrence Stroll was asked by Martin Brando of like, can he do this? He's like, yep, we put him through multiple full simulate loads before he came to the track. Like, we were confident he was ready or the doctor's past him. And he had a great race. He really did. I am personally a Lance stroll apologist. I think people do not give him enough respect because his dad owns the team. Yeah, yeah. Because Lance one, but did he win formula two? Oh, I don't recall to be honest with you. Right, like he had a pedigree coming into this. It wasn't that he, yeah, he won, he won formula three. He came from formula three, where he won formula three. So like he has that same kind of like, could win championships, right? It isn't like hey, so I was just saying earlier about Logan Sargent. Right? But it's like, you know, you see these guys and like, oh yeah, he won this and he won that and he won this. His dad can't pay for him to win. He still has to do it, right? Sure. And I think that he does a good job. I think he's good. Like you're comparing to Nicholas Latifi, right? Right. I've owned mazepin. And stroll is way better than that. So my hope for this season is not just to Aston Martin's good, which I do, 'cause you know I have a soft spot for Aston Martin, right? You put the Union Flag on anything and I'm in. So I want Fernando did a great because just like I love him and have you seen the bit and drive to the 5 of him yet, the thing he says. Oh, something like the villain. Bad guy. I love that so much now. I'm in love with Fernando Alonso because he said that. I don't know why. But I just want to see both of them do well. And I really want to see Lance too well, so we can kind of be like, see? I can do this. I just needed the car. So I am excited. I'm very excited for the season because of what you're saying that everything is getting mixed up. I mean, obviously, the drivers are all getting mixed up. I think it's fun that I'll pee in Alpine hydro pronounced it is a all French driver lineup, obviously Mercedes remains all British driver lineup. I think that's kind of fun. I personally still prefer Lando Norris. He's my guy, and love love is not going to be not going to be a good year for Landon or I feel like I don't know what Lando's going to do. I really don't know what that because he's tied in for multiple years at McLaren, but I think they're going to, I think he's going to have to get out at some point. I have a new dream, by the way. I want him to be in the second seat at Red Bull. Why? Because I think he would be great. I am a hard pressed, I was thinking about this both during the race and watching drive to survive. I feel like checkout does a phenomenal job of being what Red Bull needs. I don't know if he's what Red Bull wants, but it's what they need. He's incredibly good at defending. He doesn't he doesn't have he has aspirations to be the champion, but isn't too aggressive about it. You know what I mean? Like he's happy to just to pave the way for max to do the things that max does. And that's what Red Bull needs. The problem is, is that Red Bull wants two Max Verstappen's and that's not checkout. But I think londo is the closest to that. I think that he's the closest driver on the grid. That max fights. I don't know if Russell I don't know if George has the raw almost stupid confidence that Lando does. I think that's fair. That's why I feel like I perceive that he will just put that car in places and that is like a thing that he does and I would like to see him in a top team like that. Obviously, if Lewis retires, I would love to see Lando and Mercedes. Obviously. But I just think I think for whatever reason that the Red Bull would really suit him. You might be right. So it would also help me like them. But I think it would be a travesty if we never got to see him in a winning car. Agreed. Because he could be a world champion. I think the only reason he will not be world champion is if he does not get if he does not get a car that can do it. And I don't think that's the same for everyone, right? Yeah, I agree with you. A 100%. Not all drivers can be world champions if you put them in a world champion car. It's just not how it goes. But I think Lando is one of them. And I think it would be it would be a real shame. I mean, I feel the same about George, right? George, George is 100% world championship material. Mercedes now just need to give him a call. The good thing is,

"Being third, which is where he was in qualifying, being third Monaco doesn't mean anything. He was just lucky that Ferrari a bad strategy which meant by being third he could win that race. But you're only going to put it in the if you are going to put your car in the wall to protect qualifying position, you would do it if you were first. If you're going to do it all, which I do not believe he would do. Agreed. But you're not going to do it for third. Couldn't agree more. I'm right there with you. So this was the prevailing theory as to why max is apparently mad at him, right? And I actually think there were people in the, as they say, Verstappen camp, like family who were saying that that was the issue. So I don't know, right? We don't know because they've never said, but it seemed obvious, but then there is this clip of max saying, I had no problem with this, like in the episode. It's just not true. It's just like the whole thing is silly, but nevertheless, I'm not going to quibble over it. They either a were told not to or it was they are asked not to or they just decided not to, which I actually think is the most likely. That the drive to survive people didn't want to immediately exclude Max Verstappen again, right? So I think that they kind of just like look, the way that there is no proof of this, no one ever said it. So all we're going to be doing is kind of the thing that people don't like, which is like making a story of something that isn't overtly there. Like Chico being halfway out the door, right? Right, but that genuinely, though, like I know what you mean, but there would have 100% being people saying that at the time because people say it all the time, including me, including you. If someone's not logged in, even if they are locked in, like Daniel Ricciardo, right? Daniel Ricciardo was locked in at McLaren for years and we were saying he's going to get fired and he did. So like, that would have 100% been people saying that like, because there always is about the Red Bull seat, right? Can anyone stand up to the glory of Max Verstappen, right? That's the thing that's always said. I guarantee you at some point this season, people will be saying it about check out. They will. So it's just is what it is, right? But yeah, I would say overall, like I wasn't super looking forward to watching it this season because the last season left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth because it wasn't that great and there was a lot of crap in there and also just like the general reaction online to the last season was also not good. It annoyed me when I was reading about how many drivers had given up so much time and nothing was used, right? Like that there were genuinely stories that could have been told and they had the footage of them but decided not to do them because they wanted to make it look like Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz hey at each other instead. That's what they preferred to do in that season. And so I wasn't like super looking forward to it, but this isn't I loved it. Like I think it was a return to form for them the fact that they focused on the Oscar piastre thing and the cost cap, like I was so happy because they were too huge stories that weren't happening on track so I wouldn't have been surprised if they didn't show it because they don't have track footage necessarily to go along with these things, but they found a really good way to tell the stories and the piastre episode is awesome. It's one of the best episodes to drive to survive. They got so much stuff that I don't know how they got. Showing the negotiations. Hearing Omar and Zach Brown talking about. This is going to cost us so much money. How much money is it really going to cost you a reputation? It was awesome. So anyway, driver survives great. We've had the first race of the season. Indeed. It's a shame that we had like a two week gap to the next one, but the schedules weird this year in general, but I had a great time this weekend. It was a great race. It was fine. I don't know. People were like, oh, I was made up so I said, yeah, but Fernando Alonso, though. But just because Red Bull won two, that's obvious. Fernando Alonso was not the obvious podium, right? So it was a fantastic race because we got that. And there was some amazing midfield racing. It was I loved it. I had a great time this weekend, but you know me, Casey, I'm just happy when the cars are on track. I don't care what they're doing. I just like watching them go around the track. I stand up for sky this year. Okay, so what does that mean? I'm not trying to be flipping. I sign up for cable, basically. Can you imagine? And now I can watch it in atmos. Atmos, wait, which one is the HD Ultra HD thing? Oh, I'm sorry for video. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes. So they have it in Ultra HD as they call it. Oh, interesting. I don't think the F one TV stuff does that. That's awesome. Sky are doing it, right? They're sure. And they have the onboard camera thing, which you probably heard about a bunch. I don't know if that was on. I didn't hear about it much during the broadcast, but so I typically, I could get it on ESPN through terrestrial cable, but I typically use the F one TV app on the Apple TV. And then I will also second screen it on the iPad so I can either look at telemetry, which I rarely do, oftentimes I'll have a particular driver's view if there's an interesting chase going on that they're not covering on the main feed. And so I can swap between all the different driver views and team radios and whatnot. Is that what I'm talking about? Sky does that now? And you can do it in that app where you can just do, I can just do it on the TV. So they have all 20 on boards available and they have a battle channel they call it. So if there's a particular interesting battle going on on the track, but they're not showing it on TV. They just show us on that. Yeah, it's cool, man. But I just wanted it to be able to watch the coverage in the highest quality that I could get. And this is it. So it's expensive. But this is I want this. And I'm really, I'm actually really happy with it. Yeah, that's awesome. Now it's been interesting this race was super interesting because I feel like certainly in the 5 ish years that I've been watching F one, there's been way more turnover in shuffling about this year than any year I can remember. Which is very interesting. There's a lot of names that I'm like, oh right, they're racing now, like devries and sergeant and I'm trying to think of who else is new. Piastre, yeah, but there's a bunch of new names, things have been shuffled around. It's fascinating to me to see Mercedes still being a pile of garbage. I wouldn't send her a pile of garbage. They are, in my opinion, in a better place than they were this time last year, but what they realized is this is the best place they can be and it ain't good enough so they come back to the

"Where it belongs. Yeah, you know what? I'm a 100% on board with that. I'm a 100% on board and I think that is a great reason actually for them to reconsider how many Melbourne gets. Because the crowds are going to be big for the foreseeable future here. The atmosphere is going to be great, where there's normally good. Okay, the track is not, could be better for racing. But a court also be better with these cars. Who knows? I mean, Fernando Alonso's overtaking in all sorts of places. So maybe we won't be thinking that so much anymore either. That's that fourth DRS and everyone's talking about. Yeah, you are, right? You've done it. You've done well. Give yourself a tick. A pat on the back, or whatever the ward is on box of neutrals. So no idea. Where are you using overseas, are we? Yes. Yes, what's yours? Do you have one? Well, no, I wasn't prepared. I'll see if I can think of one before the end of the show. But let's talk about some of the well, we can talk about some several understeer over the greed over the course of the race. Particularly proprietary. Yeah, well, look, let's just start there. Embarrassing. Yeah. It was, I mean, for the second year in a row, this team's rocked up under prepared for a season. Last year it was the brakes getting too hot, the slowest car out there. At least it was a little bit more reliable, although except for the brakes, obviously. This year they've had body work fallen off over the course of testing, stuff isn't strong enough, stuff gets too hot. Electronics failed us could be astrid's car, pneumatic pressure filed and landed North Dakota, that's an unusual problem, I feel it's very rare that happens. And he finished two laps down at the very back of the greed. This is a massive indictment on this team. I don't think I'm going to talk about all the wind tunnels not ready yet and that's true, it's not ready to lighter and I don't have the new senior at all that kind of stuff yes. But I mean, in any sport in which asked partner now we're talking about a lot. But which they can come out of a bunch of portable buildings and develop the second quickest car, even if Fernando Alonso is driving it, a performance like this from McLaren, which has an established facility, even if they got an old wind tunnel whatever, is embarrassing by definition. That's real. That's absolutely real. It warrants that sting because I'm a 100% and this is not a case of because Oscar piastre is aboard the team. This is a trend and it's concerning because it's very frustrating because McLaren were coming out of a funk and it was a real funk. It was, in fact, it was. Oh, that's real. That's absolutely real. It was a real fun. And the Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, era, quietly chipped away. Didn't make too much fanfare regain their dignity. And then they started getting a bit of cocky. They got a Daniel Ricciardo. They go, Google Chrome, on board. And so there was plenty of swagger aboard this time, and a lot of expectation. But they just haven't delivered and they've made so many missteps along the way. And I feel like it's got to a point where for me, I'm almost, I'm obsessed. For now I know it's only one race. But I'm almost upset that Oscar piastres first exposure to Formula One. Granted Daniel Ricciardo's was aboard an HR tape, but that was very different context. I think it finished too, didn't it? I feel like, yeah, I think he did. Anyway, but I feel like it was almost, I'm not speaking for him or whatever, but I just get the picture that it was like McLaren sold him the world and they delivered him. A zed card. Of a map with a lot of incorrect version. Yeah. It still says Czechoslovakia. That's what kind of map Oscar got because I feel like just a little bit of me when the Alpine is a great spot. They got points. Yale Payne will come good. Enough. Not good enough. Even worse. If Oscar had stayed with Alpine, took the course of action that they had recommended it when we're going to keep Alonso at Alpine. And we're going to put you online to Williams. I guarantee Oscar piastre would have a Grand Prix point to his name. At the time of this recording, in either team of Alpine or Williams. Yes. And that is saying something about where McLaren's app. Absolutely. I mean, Williams were one of the good stories actually the weekend, weirdly, an unexpectedly competitive, even Logan sergeant less than ten seconds behind Alex Albon to miss out on a point by not very much exactly the same lap time as Lando Norris. Yes, and that is another indictment on McLaren. Not land on our specifically, but McLaren, Lando's doing as good a job, I think, as you can. And Oscar too for a rookie in the position he's in his career. This is dire stuff, and even if you look back over the last few years since their recovery from the Honda days, it's been exaggerated. Like I've had a look at this recently for an article, and they've gone from 9th under Honda, went to 6th 5th and fourth and then the third in 2020, right? And I've sort of been slowly coming down. A lot of those years, you know, Ferrari had that engine agreement, which meant they finished 6th. Those years also went through when forced India collapsed and they lost all of their points. So would have finished ahead of them. And then the subsequent year the knock on effects of the financial problems that racing point is it then was was suffering. There are a lot of reasons actually the thing McLaren hasn't got much better than a 5th at best team in the last few years and we're actually holding them to an expectation they don't really deserve yet and obviously we all hope McLaren recovers a because we want the sport to be competitive as possible and B because there's a historic team. It ought to be doing better. But I think they sort of just not, I mean, obviously, you look at the results, they're not there, and I don't think it's enough to say, all right, a result this bad might be a blip, much like Bahrain was last year and I ended up scoring points at the next couple of races. But them being very ordinary as a team is not a blip. This is the long, long-term trend now for McLaren. This is where they've made their bed and they're lying in it. And they seem quite comfortable because they won't get up. No. I'll give you a couple of obvious things and understand. I'll give you the first one. Understeer or oversteer, McLaren should have stuck with Renault. Why did they need to move the Mercedes? There was no need. I'm going to say that's understeer. Or neutral, because I don't think it's really made any difference. And Mercedes did have the best engine. I mean, it's not so much all equal now pretty much the engines, but in the years that they made the decision. I would say they probably saw the best in. Inside say that's neutral I don't know about financially. But I'd say that's a you would say that's oversteer. Maybe overstayed. I would say it's oversteer. I don't think it's made any difference. There you go. It's important. My second oversteer. And we'll put this out to the box neutral Discord. So my two questions for the switch to back to Mercedes for McLaren to use the prickly one. It's mildly uncomfortable. Oh. Lando Norris is wasting his time. At McLaren. That is spot on. I wish that was oversteer undersea because it sounds better, but I think that's what that's neutral. That's right in the middle. I think that's a great call. Why did he sign a 100 year contract with McLaren? There was no need to. They liked him like they were fans of human. He says he likes McLaren, whatever. Sign a two or three, do you like everyone else? Yeah. And give yourself the, I mean, I'm sure he's probably got options in the contract, although McLaren negotiates weird contracts. There was just no need. And okay, immediately to this unlikely to be openings well, actually almost every team's higher up. So maybe they will be opening somewhere, but there's unlikely to be over things that fry in Mercedes Red Bull, but Red Bull did inquire into his services. And then he just signed an extension of McLaren. It just seems like a weird and I think we're definitely going to already reflecting on it as a weird a weird instance of Korea self harm. Like why? Why? Almost too comfortable. Yes. That McLaren could be just, yeah. And he's going to get frustrated and I'm worried you'll get frustrated and that will boost his performance because he is a great driver. He is a top probably top 5 on the grid at the moment. I think there's maybe

"Lap a 6 tenth deficit. So they've gone for an incredibly highly rated rookie who is expected to continue the Lando Norris Lewis Hamilton trend of stellar McLaren rookie seasons. But they've got a rookie and a rookie who has been sat in a sidelines for a year, so what have you given him? A badly behaved car that won't inspire confidence and then asking him to get up to speed with that and then battle in a midfield where he is race rusty and so with such enormous expectations and through really no fault of his own with the Alpine contract saga. He's arguably already a marked man with some corners of the Internet for his tweet and whatever. I think that is going to be a really easy bandwagon to jump on if he's that same gap to Norris or even further adrift because how has he meant to take confidence from not only is it a bad handling car, but if it's the same trait as 2022, it's a bad handling car that handles differently every single corner in which case you're really at sea and that's such a hard process to go through to acclimatize to F one. Remind those of us who don't live and breathe on Twitter, what was tweeted? I can't remember the exact wording, but obviously he said I have sort of, I've never held talks with Alpine and this press release they put out announcing me as a driver that has no quotes from me is nothing to do with me and that was obviously the correct legal standpoint. And he proved to be entirely vindicated, but he took a bit of a reputational pounding for that as being, well, you've got your F one opportunity and now you're saying no to it. It's a bit petty. We sort of dealt with McLaren Alpine, not looking too bad, although I've not wanted not wishing to give away too many spoilers for our April issue, but our tech columnist pat Simmons thinks that maybe the Alpine isn't all that, but Aston Martin seemed to have made progress and this month, we've visited the pile of mud that will soon become a factory and they're hoping to occupy in May. Now, Mark, you will have actually worked on that site back it back when it was in its pomp and it was an ultra modern F one facility, not a condemned piece of junk about to be demolished to make way for a state of the art fitness center. Yeah, so the first thing to say is it's interesting how often people are writing about Jordan's history. They talk about our first season and that little factory at Silverstone. That little factory at Silverstone wasn't there in our first season. We were across the road at Silverstone circuit in glorified lockups. Running the team in the Jordan one 9 one, that first year. So the factory that's now being left behind was for us the brand new factory that we built during 1991. And the project management on that factory was overseen by a guy called Bosco Quinn, who was an Irish guy, good friend of Eddie Jordan's, and tragically was killed in a road accident the week that the factory was opened and having basically project managed the whole thing. So his name is on a plaque outside that factory and I know a few people have been in contact with us and Martin dask and if they could possibly ensure that the Bosco Quinn plaque is kept doesn't end up on a skip somewhere. But that factory when it was first opened was a completely open plan. I mean, there were no mezzanines, it was a completely open plan. Factory and we gradually extended it over the course of the 1990s to a composites facility testing rigs gearbox testing rigs then we bought we bought a four poster rig. A quick story about the four poster rig. So we were very impressed with the four poster rate when we got it because we could replay laps of circuits on that. And during the course of one visit hirotoshi Honda, who owned mugen, asked if he could sit in the car on the four poster rig and could be load up a lap of summer interesting. So we loaded up a lap of, I think it was either Monte Carlo or Monza, I can't remember, I can't remember what. Anyway, it was only some months later that we met the goals of cerebral test, who had built the rig, and we told them this story, and he stood looking at us with aghast, and he said, you do realize that putting someone in the car is just completely, I mean, he could have suffered permanent spinal injuries from the vertical loads that were being pulled through the car. So anyway, he enjoyed it. I mean, he got out of the car. He was vibrating for about the next 15 minutes. Great times. But anyway, I've gone off and a complete tangent, but that factory effectively got developed seasoned by season through the 1990s and then once it went into I think force India ownership, so it had gone through the Midland and the spiker phase. They then mezzanine the whole factory. And I remember walking into it and couldn't believe that effectively the factory had vertically been now cut into and you have this mezzanine across a whole across the whole floor. And it is extraordinary. It really is extraordinary to think that for 30 years that factory. Small factory, tiny by comparison to any of the other factories in F one, was producing competitive midfield cars sometimes as in the case of 98, 99, 2004, race winning cars, and I always remember Toyota coming for a visit whenever they were planning to come into Formula One, and I gave them the tour of the factory. And after 15 minutes, we were back in reception. And they said, is that it? And we said, yeah, that's the factory. So they then asked us to come to cologne and see their factory, which involved driving a car around inside the factory. And we actually measured it. And their canteen was larger than our factory. So the fact that Toyota never went on and won a Grand Prix says something about Toyota. And the fact that we could produce moderately competitive and sometimes race winning cars out of a factory smaller than their canteen. Says something about what the team was doing, but there's no question that for some years, really, I'm sure if you talk to Andy Stevenson sporting director who's been there since the beginning, you know, he would say the last decade must have been very difficult. They would have realized they just didn't have the scale and the capacity to take on the competition. They also had fundamental problems around quite frankly the size of the facility, there wasn't sufficient parking. There was just a mess, you know, really, really difficult. So this new factory is long overdue much needed. It will be a fabulous facility, no question. It'll change the capability of the team. But a word of warning, which would be that just because you're the new factory doesn't mean you become competitive. It'll take time for that to come on stream. There are bound to be teething problems with the factory that lots of things take time to bed in. People get used to new way of working systems, processes, technology that they will be including in the factory. So just as when you commission the new wind tunnel, when you commission you infrastructure like a factory in F one, it can take time. So it may disrupt this year to some extent for the team.

"So then there or thereabouts with Alpine potentially, but we know that, well, everything indicates in terms of track side observations and what the drives and teams team bosses are saying that McLaren have fallen back. So they're in there somewhere. And then you have Alfa romeos that are still out for a Mayo, but this is the first year where that saddle but operation will have Audi backing to take it up to the cost cap Hass has a new title sponsor and politely in Nico hulkenberg, a driver that's been hired because he won't have two 7 figure car snapping crashes so they won't have to shelve their latter half development. And that's where you have all these factors. James vows gets in a point technical director. I still don't think you're going to see Williams as being anything other than a very occasional point scorer. But if they're not as cut adrift as they were last season, then suddenly you've got that famous shot from the 2022 British Grand Prix of Hamilton getting the cut back on signs and Perez and in the back of shot you've got Norris and Alpine. The Holy Grail I suppose is you have that sort of 5, 6 car train for the midfielder, every single race. So if that is the case, then roll on because I've also conscious now I feel bad mark because I've spent a little bit of this podcast saying I always don't tune into the season because Red Bull of it already won it. So I think that the midfield storylines where you've got Fernando Alonso throwing shade at all is past employees and whatever that's where the real battleground will be and yeah it would be a case of that and then really seeing how Red Bull sort of manage their cost cap but the way the way that team is wrong bank on them to nail that as well, I suppose. Going back to your point of bed Red Bull, how are they going to approach this? I think they'll be looking to take a leaf out of the Ferrari Schumacher book and if not when the championship before they go on their summer holiday, get very close to it so that it takes the pressure off this year completely. And I mean, let's face it, it will get to the if he is that dominant early in the year, it will quickly get to the point where he doesn't even need to keep winning races to win the championship. He just needs to get that consistency. So if someone comes on strongly later in the year, if Ferrari get to the point where they can be competitive in Monza, which to me always seems to be a kind of focal point. By that point, I think Red Bull would be looking the championship in the both championships in the aisle already. It is a very long season. That's also going to be a factor. We've got a lot more to think about in terms of what may happen during what is now the longer season of Formula One. But I'm sure Adrian and the team will be wanting to manage those resources in such a way that they don't end up being caught short going into 24. They'll want to make their want to keep the momentum going. So that resource allocation. So what can we do? Where can we do it? When will it really matter? And talking to a few people earlier this week, I think, again, someone said to me, it'll be like, it'll be like Jenson buttons world championship, all the winning will be done up front. At the beginning of the year and just build up such a such a momentum that actually what mattered that much what happens later on, not to say that Red Bull will back off, but just to say that if the budget cap penalty, if that restriction on era running starts to bite, it'll bite too late in the year for them to be really bothered about it. So I think it's going to be really interesting. I'm fascinated by these financial rules and regulations because it's given a third stream to what the teams have to play with. You know, we've always had the technical rules we've all had the sporting relative. Now that these financial rules and then we've got financial financial related penalties and it is driving the efficiency with which teams spend every dollar what they do, making sure can you imagine now if you do a CFD runner a wind tunneled rung and it turns out to have been a waste of time. I mean, it'll be even more unforgivable now than it's ever been. And so I think wasted eliminating waste needs making sure that your digital tools mean that your digital twin of the car, the fidelity between what you're designing and what hits the track is spot on. And I think in that regard, a Red Bull clearly have a fantastic operation in terms of ensuring that what they do at the factory translates through to performance track side and then equally when you see where McLaren are at with their problems, they have they seem to have a fairly deep seated issue where they really aren't getting on top of the problems that have actually been occurring in recent years. And I have to say, Daniel Ricciardo must be looking at the Bahrain pre season test and thinking thank goodness or not. Thank goodness I'm not in that car. I think it is a shame to say that Williams and McLaren may well be the team's battling not to be lost again. It looks like Williams had made a step forward, but it's too much as you say to expect that with everything that's happened there over the course of the last couple of years and now with James vowles arriving in and presumably facing the early days of whatever structure he wants to put in place. It's going to be to some degree to some extent a treading of a treading of water by Williams this year. Yeah, definitely that McLaren looked absolutely awful when I popped along to the drag strip control tower in bath brain and watched turn ten in really. Never has a racing car attempted to spear in apex and ended up so far away from it. Lap after lap. Even when not going particularly quickly, it did look like a disaster in the making. So a bit of a shame. It does, it does, it does raise the question about how much more of this Lando Norris is going to want to take. And he's got a contract going through to 25, I believe. But again, talking to someone at Alfa Romeo, the fact that Andrea Seidel has gone there and knows only too well, how good Lando is. You just wonder, will there will Lando's CF's contract? Will there be a financial offer made to release some early to get them into that to get them away from? McLaren said it's really it's almost shocking to be saying this because for a while there it looked like the McLaren trajectory was becoming good again and obviously there was that one off win in Monza with Daniel, but in Orlando looked he looked pretty gutted I think as a result of the test. Two interesting things to watch with the McLaren narrative where does the blame lie for this? Because they're putting all their hopes on the new wind tunnel, but if there is a regression between now and then do fingers begin to be pointed at any of the technical team. There's obviously one strand straight away when the car came up, but he was right how visible is James key at this test. So does that have to be a full guy for it? The other thing I think is interesting of particularly when you're looking at the driver lineup is Oscar piastre, because McLaren have got rid of Daniel Ricciardo because they believe they can find someone who will close what is over an average 92nd lap a 6 tenth deficit. So they've gone for an incredibly highly rated rookie who is expected to continue the Lando Norris Lewis Hamilton trend

"I felt like Charlotte Clare was clearly a little bit faster, a better pace, but if we can get that kind of back and forth throughout the entire year, oh man, that would be incredible and really, really fun. I will say it looked like everybody struggled a little bit on the new tires in F one. I mean, you saw a lot of drivers missing apexes of turns and I don't know. We'll see how that plays out throughout the rest of the year. Now, kind of the lingering questions for the next couple of races are can Ferrari continue to dominate. Are they really the best team in the formula? And I think they are the team to beat right now and will that continue through Saudi Arabia through Australia, can has stay strong, I'm also really curious if McLaren can rebound. They were third in 2020 fourth and 2021. I would call McLaren the most disappointing team to start the year in form of the one. They look like they are way behind a lot of other teams in the midfield and if there's like three tiers of F one cars, if there's the big three McLaren Ferrari Red Bull, then the midfield, I would actually put McLaren right now in the bottom tier of Formula One, which is a very surprising to me and they got really good drivers. Janitor Ricardo Lando Norris, they clearly were competitive the last two years. And for them to take a big step backward would be a big shock and a big surprise. So I don't know, man, I don't have much else to add. I really am excited for the rest of the F one season. It was a fun way to kick off the year. It was intriguing. It was surprising.

It's not making fun of it is a normal thing. Ensure it stays in that mainstream kind of medium. Right now, if you're not in the medium, you're kind of left out to dry a little bit. I think an interesting juxtaposition, if you will, look at a game like chess. Chess for years has kind of been seen as an old person's game, a privileged game. For a lot of people, you know, if you don't have someone to play with or whatever, it's kind of hard to get into it. But now with the surge of online and resurgence of chest coming along with it, we see a lot of personalities starting to make it a thing again a mainstream thing again. You see people like the bow test sisters kind of really enabling that kind of market to grow again, which is insane to me that that can happen once you get into the mainstream and stay there. Chess was out of the mainstream nuts back in. You know, queen's gambit all that stuff, it's kind of resurged a little bit and made it a more popular game than it was ten 15 years ago. Now a big thing that people should also that organizations should also be mindful of is that they need to continue partnering with these major celebrities and brands, bring them on as partners, bring them on through investment and collaboration.

We're currently seeing Daniel Ricciardo in his lap. Not put one on the board. He's on the medium. He's got a minute left. Lando Norris who is not a small margin, either. That's .3 of a second. That's pretty much. I'd say Ricardo because you'll need to do a cooldown lap. This is the for me. I don't think he's going to make it through. Unless maybe he was just you know, it could be to be honest that watching it through the first sector, because the final sector is where you need to start faster than sonoda, who is sat in tenth in the middle sector. And they can only put his card 9th he saw them in Q one. That is that's a shock. Over Nazi who was in the danger zone, he can't go faster, Fernando Alonso here, what is he going to put his? I've just seen him put his green second executive, but it's 8 seconds off. Yeah, because he was 30 and a half seconds off. So he's he's not pushing. I think he's just gone up for a bit of a stroll here. Ofcom managed to push himself into the top ten, but Yuki sonoda has taken that place back, but we still got to see Vettel and Russell, who both have penalties on be surprised if they even they'll just be trying to get ahead of Fernando Alonso here.

So that put Lewis Hamilton a massive disadvantage. Had to go all the way around the track before he could pit. He put a new tire set. Put Louise Fulton in last place in the races at 14th position. Max's happened was in 12th now Max. Sorry, Lewis Hamilton. It was really my favorite part of this race. Was it, Lewis Hamilton? Just drove through the whole pack, slowly passing people overtake after overtake after overtake month ended up getting well third-place. Then second here is another reason why this race was incredibly weird and I'm not going to make this into a full break out just going to make it part of the podcast. You know, Sebastian Vettel second place in this race and got disqualified. I'm going to read you. The reason it's, it's the weirdest reason I've ever heard for a disqualification. Basically the real-life birds are unable to take the required amount of fuel for sampling following the race. So they needed one liter then they got zero point three litres from his car and it sounds unbelievable. They actually founded his car because Aston Martin is challenging and appealing what happened there saying, hey, there's still like should be over a litre of fuel in the car through the all of the pipes and off. The the system. So it should be possible to get that much feel out there. They're furious. And I I thought maybe be resolved by now, but remember, form of the one is on Hiatus. They have a break. The next race isn't until August 29th because they're on summer break. So, I don't know when it's going to get resolved. I thought that Sebastian Vettel should have legitimately gotten second in the race. I seems like a weird BS nonsensical reason to take away from him and just just very weird. Now, I want to talk about estimate akhon, because estimate okan be got sick, I got first place in the race partially cuz everybody crashed partially. Because when that happened he took over and Luis had to go to the back of the pack and you held on and there are two heroes in all of this. Number one is Esperanto cons parents..

"End up letting botas and Lando through just to you know, he's got to finish the race and didn't want to hold up. A voucher e, Sergio Pettis was back in 64, Red Bull member. Sergio Perez ran wide into the gravel early on the race, trying to pass land in North anyone's lap four or five because there was that restart after the fashion and so later than not only Sergio Perez wipe out and have to kind of lose a lot of ground in the in the field. He also got to 5 Second penalty. So, 10 seconds total of time penalties. Well, defending against Charles LeClaire. Also forcing Charles, LeClaire off wide of the track. So I'm Sergio, Perez, kind of recovered made it to 6. I think should have got V, but had to time, penalties. Lando Norris also got a Time penalty 5 Seconds that happen when Sergio Perez ran wide trying to pass them early on in the race. I did not think I was deserving. I did not believe Lando deserved a penalty there. I thought he should have been more patient. I mean, Sergio Perez. So I guess let me say this if anybody should have been at fault there it was Sergio Perez who I think made a dumb move. You know, not being patient trying to make a move to a quickly and you know should have waited for better opportunity to pass land. Oh, I'm like early in the race. You're like Sergio, why are you making this move right now? Are you trying to catch Max? Like, this is weird and it felt like the wrong time for Sergio to make a move. Try to go around the outside. He ran wide into the gravel. I don't blame landle 4 that I believe in surgery or being impatient. So it was ridiculous. Atlanta got blamed if you ask me, but I still go to say the super cool to see Lando get a Podium. I thought he could have got second if it weren't for that time penalty and whatever else. Who knows? I mean it just interesting right? Like what would have happened if we hadn't had that nonsense to deal with. Now, the battle between McLaren and Ferrari continues. McLaren got 21 points. His language got 15 points and third. Daniel ricciardo got six points in seventh and then Ferrari got seven points on the day. So McLaren got twenty one, seven points behind them, was Ferrari on Sunday, Sans got 5th, place for ten points and Charles LeClaire got four points for eight place. So, fourteen points of the day for a Ferrari 21 points on the day for McLaren. Now, Alpena had a really rough weekend. The French team. Esteban ocon was the only driver on Sunday to retire early, and did not finish the race. Meanwhile, the other Alpine driver Fernando, Alonso time to get screwed over in Q2 of qualifying, he was almost qualified into the top. Ten was going to go to Q3 off. And then at the end of his lap, he ran into a bunch of traffic and Esteban sorry, Sebastian Vettel, Sebastian Vettel in particular gotten his way. So Sebastian Vettel got a bulb.

"But they haven't been there for a really long time but lando norris is just. He's an absolute joy to watch. He's an absolute joy. Swatch i just. He's so exciting. He's a great personality as is just easiest everything everything that's good about formula one and my word like if he can do this in a mclaren what day. That's i guess that's the that's the really exciting thing. And it was kind of like those that moment when george russell came up to him in the tv pen and kinda gave him a high five and said oh why sweaty in london only champagne mate. Like as if like george wouldn't know georgia's forgotten what champagne feels like. But i mean is one of those moments where you're kind of like these these two guys all the future of a formula one and that's massively massively exciting that they're already like landers already putting in the performances that putting in he is my like again like a ball the eventual winners. Who are like max it. Max is doing such a phenomenal job but land landa nor his consistency is just so special so special the performances. That is pulling out. Like i mean i really hope it continues into the rest of the season and he keeps shocking as and keep surprising as with his consistency and his speed on his ability and his rice kroft. Everything is coming together. And i think that's just that really exciting prospect of like. What's he gonna do next if he keeps putting these performances out the bag like was he going to do next every weekend having pretty much the same conversation about him every weekend he is out doing himself so we have to have the conversation again. Because it's just so impressive to see so yes of you. People that may not be as impressed with lonzo. we apologize. But it's you know it's all deserved so we have to the credit where it's due. Let's his teammates. daniel ricardo. What did you make of his day to day oversee. He has had a rough day yesterday. Rough weekend staring gorham pre but it ended actually back to the. I'm sure he would have expected after his qualifying situation yesterday. What did you make of daniel's recovery. Today in the first austria rice. I think we didn't really see what he could have done. Because the engine glitch. I think actually belied what was actually very good race day for for ricardo and i'll see qualifying again to be that far from to drop out in key to as he did again was a bit difficult and baked gut wrenching mclaren. Like ferrari. I'm sure we're going to get to they. They commit to that medium star strategy. Because if you're on soft they thought you're going to be in trouble. Which as we saw with the guitarist and the aston martins was entirely the case so that was good. Mclaren's subsidy gardens and didn't go away from that strategy. Just because dan you didn't have the pace quite to get into key to without sorry key three without using the soft so but then in the racy i thought it was good. See ricardo sort of. Yeah a bit punchy. Amateurs quite nice foot is defense from the clerk in the closing stages especially is very very good. I think he was a bit powerless to stop science from getting past. But yes it's a pretty decent recovery drive. And obviously i think we're always gonna be comparing him so orlando is doing particularly as year ricardo's meant to be the sort of while champion material and seventeen grand prix winner and extra bull driver with that. But i think that we're seeing good progress from god. I think he is sort of. He's having races way. He qualifies down the order and is certainly might there and just stays there. He is able to fight his way back up. So that's really encouraging saying. I think that yeah once. He's able to get his qualifying together a bit more than i think he'll be in much better shape then yeah he can be there with like we saw in france a couple of weeks ago so so yeah so i think a good recovery should he become away from the weekend with with more points yeah but ultimately all things considered from thirty seven. I think it's a it's what he needed to do. So i think fat life about andrea seidel said that pretty convinced that they know what the issue that's bugging. Ricardo is so. Let's hope for better saturdays for car because we saw today just what. A racer is absolutely a both of the starts. The initial star and the safety car restart from him. Were mega and i think that's again. We we keep touching this on the diner. Ricardo we nar daniel ricardo. We know is in the which is just like i think belittling to diner because we don't know all we're not one hundred percent sure of the challenges that he is facing trying to get used to this new call or whatever this nickeled that they found they need to fix is and i think that's a bit. Yeah it's a bit belittling daniel. But let's hope that they do know what it is. That's the can fix it and we're seeing him up that and doing kind of similar to what longer is during if if that mclaren really is as as competitive as it is showing to be with two very exciting racing drivers behind the wheel so yeah. Let's hope this hype the andrea is right and we can we get we get better. Bet the socks day days. Because he's welcome sundays. So yeah let's let's let's hope for better in future races. You just touched on ferrari. Let's ton to them now. Of course yesterday qualifying neither the mehta in key three because they wanted to keep those medium compounds and ultimately they won they won quite quick enough to make it through but today was a better outcome and this is what they had said. They were expecting as while they were more confident in that race pace for today. But how did you write that. Drives by shaw on calls see. Carlos had a tough time. Starting on those are odds but ultimately he mentioned come home with a good result was really good drive by science and he he struggled the star in the opening stages because the hawes sickly. When the cause around. You're either all social mediums. Always going to struggle just to get into the temperature and gaps pace that bit quicker but similar to last week. He just trusted trusted the rice..

"Mercedes is frankly very very boring. I don't want to do that and it's a perfect storm red will because Mercedes got hit hard by regulations less downforce. No Das their cars been struggling. I saw Lewis Hamilton spin out a couple of times in Winter testing. And Red Bull has a great car there most competitive car. They've had it a long time in comparison to Mercedes. They got speed they got reliability and on top of that incredible added a legit number two driver checo Perez. So I think that this is the year Red Bull finally takes the crown from Mercedes and wins themselves a world championship take reclaim that thrown back from Mercedes. Now there's a Red Bull finish. Number one Mercedes will finish number two. I have McLaren finishing third in F1. Once again. The car is better their driver life better. Do you have Lando Norris going into your three? You have Daniel ricciardo is an upgrade on Carlos Sainz their driver from last year and I think frankly also Aston Martins going to have some engine trouble that engine truck last year that engine trouble in Winter testing. So I think fourth place is gonna come down to either Aston Martin or Alpine racing. I give the edge to Aston Martin because they focused heavily on improving their car and development in the offseason. Whereas Alpine focused a lot more on 2022 for next year getting ready for two years from now. It's kind of a standby you for helping both teams are kind of oddly similar where they've got new drivers who have previously won a World Championship. They've got a new team name a new livery kind of brand new everything but in the end, I think Aston Martin will be quicker. So I think Aston Martin is going to be forth and form of the one they're going to beat out Dean. But really the question is can Aston Martin be reliable will there engine work because again, I said it before I'll say it again. It doesn't matter how fast you are if your car isn't running so reliability is very very key for Aston Martin this year in 2021. I believe.
