As that bother you, <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> yeah, it does <Speech_Male> bother you. You hear a bit of <Speech_Male> radio. That <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> wasn't even from that <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> weekend, <Speech_Music_Male> <Advertisement> but it makes me hate <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> myself a little bit that I know <Speech_Music_Male> <Advertisement> little things like that. <Speech_Music_Male> <SpeakerChange> So <Speech_Music_Male> <Speech_Music_Male> when <Speech_Male> you see something happen <Speech_Male> on track and it <Speech_Male> cuts to a reaction <Speech_Male> shot of someone <Speech_Male> from a completely <Speech_Male> different race. <Speech_Male> And you think, <Speech_Male> well, <SpeakerChange> that wasn't even <Speech_Male> then like <Speech_Male> a Hollywood director <Speech_Male> thinking, oh, I just <Speech_Male> need that reaction.

"Did you try? Which F one driver most deserves the moniker of my evil wife Hamilton, because you love him, but he also confounds you and his team definitely confounds you. Oh, but is he the evil or is it Mercedes? This is the evil one, but you also want him to be your wife. So. Christina, I can't give this to you. Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. I love Louis Hamilton too much to ever call him my evil wife. Okay. Let me see. Sorry, Christina. Evil. So minus ten points or partial credits. And then I do want to hear Leo's. Yeah, I do. This actually probably would have been the one that Leo would have totally given great at. I do have one in mind. I'm willing to put him aside for the purposes of your creativity, but there is someone in mind that's like an obvious evil wife. Oh yes. I think, well, I'm torn between Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel. I can't decide who should be my evil wife. I'm going to say Sebastian Vettel because he's sad and lonely. Now that he's not racing anymore. Oh, that's good. I disagree. I think Red Bull era said would have been an evil wife, but now he's just like a beekeeper dad.

"Tend to say three years in the third season, you expect a massive step from the driver. So if this is still happening in a year's time, because we expect him to carry on an AlphaTauri, let's face it. Then I don't think he's I think he's got a long F one F one feature. Karma, France toss for mugging off my question in Australia. It's so better, aren't you cute? I read it in the transcript. It was savage. Hilarious, isn't it? At least when I got Sebastian Vettel's one word answer when I said do you want to go into politics? He was like, no, he did apologize at least fans. It's just like, let's talk about Vettel and stroll and how you think that team is coming along this year. First, we see Vettel at the start of the season. Of course, once he finally got in the car. And now we know his future as well. So what are your thoughts on those two drivers? So that's why you mentioned the co hulkenberg briefly. I think you're looking at the average average. Well, no, it's because the website just takes them three numbers because the race is the magazine has a little footnote that says doesn't include on the website and the season. We'll probably be in the top ten. On an average of 7. Vettel, I think there's a stat here that I think is ultimately going to sum up his F one career, right? Brilliant, but a little bit. Slightly disappointing in terms of the sort of racing statistics is that if he starts every race now at the end of season, he'll end up on 299 races, which is a little bit like a little bit but maybe he'll like that because Jackie Stewart, 99 races, maybe that's that sort of plays into the Vettel legend a little bit. But yeah, take him a long time to get to grips with the car, but when he did, he's been phenomenal. Lance stroll has just been Lance stroll, not all that much good to say. But what particularly for straights me is that this is qualifying. Up and down, up and down. But he never gets the most out of it. But then he does actually start very well in races, and he does go forward, so give him credit for that. But it gives that focusing the most overtakes of the season, where it's unfortunate the drivers at the front of the field have got fewer cars for overtake. It's a false, it's a false statistic. You did, yeah. Exactly. But then again, that showed it was him underperforming in qualifying there, right? But yeah, he asked, is the car that's really also central to the story right there, one of the big teams that totally changed their concept and it took him a little while to get on top of that. But yeah, not brilliant from either of them, but about where you'd expect them to be Vettel ahead and doing okay. I think that way you've got them in the order. We've got my 11th and actually, again, I think that was one when I did my own order and then consulted you, I think I maybe even had him in top ten, you rightly corrected that. But impressive performance. And it's that thing with the qualifying has been bad for both of them, a lot of that had been asked in completely messing up its tyres to actually and then going out with two cooler tyres. But that's what they're being told, then it's sort of a driver error as well, because you look at someone there out laps, which yes, we're sad enough to look at and you realize that they're not negotiating traffic, particularly well. So they are slower and they compromising themselves. So just one that is a bit fiddly, but not anonymous as such because there have been some good performances, but there's nothing that's really dragging them into the top ten. I think Alex albon has had a season that he should be pretty proud of. New ownership there and obviously that pays into who they're second or other driver could be next year, so a couple of thoughts on Williams drivers. I think Alex has performed fantastically this year as our Grand Prix editor and Alex Alban has also done a very good job. What about the assistant to the grandma? Album, I think, done a really good job. When he came back to F one, they were kind of the questions about is he damaged goods?

"Goal is to be that I want to pick. That's something I've been dreaming of for the kids. It feels better to be number one than number 5. I wear the number because of my. We have a chance to go for three in a row. Good numbers are the good times. When I first started wearing that number, I would just have them proud. Bloomberg, business of sports. The number of the week. That the feeling of dread. The new theme song. For the number of the week. As I compete against myself and lose. I'm gonna give you the number. As this is a shout out, by the way, to four time Formula One champion, Sebastian Vettel, he says that he will retire at the end of the season to spend more time with his family. Now, he is in the top three of F one drivers who are ranked one two and three. There is Michael Schumacher, who is in the top three. Okay. And Lewis Hamilton, who is in the top three. Okay. Okay, and now here come the numbers. The top one is 103. The second is 91 and the third is 53. What are these numbers in reference to? These are the number of races that these drivers have won in their F one career. Okay. I want you to rank Schumacher Vettel and Hamilton. Which one is number one at a 103, which one is second at 91, and which one is third at 53? Schumacher, one O three. Vettel, 53. Hamilton 91. Well, you had Vettel right at 53. If you would have flipped, Hamilton and Schumacher around. Really? You would have had it right. Lewis Hamilton, a 103 wins, Michael Schumacher at 91. He is just he's really evolved the sport. So I got a three, I mean, I got one out of three. So I have a three 33 batting average, so by that measure, I won

"Absolutely fine. And that's the point. I think freak accident used to be used as an excuse. Oh, it's a freak accident. We can't possibly have done anything about this. That was just the way it goes. And now we go, well, that was a freak accident. What can we learn from it to make sure that when another freak accident happens, someone doesn't die or get seriously injured and it's changed it's changed the focus of a freak accident. And that's a good thing. That's probably been a big push from the FYI really since the terrible weekend of Emily in 1994. And that pushes continued and it has to. You are the man behind also sport magazine that we all read every Thursday. You've now got the luxury of plenty of images to pick from for your magazine next week. The hard work started today, you know, you're already reading copy and tomorrow you have to sit down and work out front covers and things like that. What can we look forward to in order to sport magazine next week? Were all of that will be there, of course, but I think we've got to give science the cover. He's been I think that's a feel good story. And he's gone out and he's won the Grand Prix. So I'll be looking for some nice celebratory pics of a sort of at last. And then obviously we'll be going into the ins and outs of all the things we've discussed the Ferrari tactical tactical gaffes and of course all the reports from around the rest of us as well. We've got formula E we're looking at the Kenyans as well that the locals that starred on the safari rally recently Tom Howard has spoken to them. So yeah, we'll be packed full of the usual, but yeah, we've got a bit of work to do over the next 48 hours before we can bring that to you. And then just that of interest, obviously the TV coverage doesn't show the protesters that made their way on to the track. And that's a right thing. TV shouldn't cover it. But in the day in these days of social media, I saw all of that unfolding in real time. I guess you could go back if you've got F one TV, you can go back and look at all the different onboards, and then you get an exact point of when the dash light went red and the red flag was thrown and I've seen a couple of the onboards as well. And they're near the track and the cars are going at speed. How much coverage, if any, do you give people like that? Because they're there to raise awareness. Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel have given sympathies towards them because they both believe in the right to protest, if not in that way. Now, where do you stand on giving extra fuel to that fire if you like, bringing attention to them? No, I think it's something that you something you report on. I'm not very comfortable with ignoring things completely. Because that's kind of getting into censorship realms, isn't it? But I think it needs to be handled with. I mean, I think actually Seb and Lewis had a sensible take on it really. Yes, I agree with the right to protest. Yes, what they're protesting about is perfectly valid and something for discussion, but no walking onto a track where racing cars are going past 200 miles an hour is not the way to do it. But I mean, it's the sort of jumping off point, really, where we should be talking about F one having synthetic fuels and the hybrid systems and pushing the green agenda. And this is what this is what people like Hamilton. I think they get, you know, we've got to be in Vettel, it's got to be that message it can't just be, we can't just allow this idea that we're just going around burning lots of fossil fuels for our own enjoyment. It's got to be more environmentally conscious than that. It's definitely discussion worth having. And I think Lewis instead have done well to make sure that it is had. But yeah, walking onto it, walking onto a racetrack. I said to Alex, you know, I think these people need to be shown a video of the Tom price accident from the 1977 South African Grand Prix, which is absolutely horrendous horrific thing when a Marshall got hit by prices shadow and the fire extinguisher killed price in the Marshalls kill. It's horrible and racing cars and human body are not good mix. Not the best way to protest. I would suggest. And I would offer as well the opinion that I own, I've owned three, we have two electric cars in our driveway, we sold a Renault Zoe a couple of weeks ago and we drive electric cars day in day out because we charge. We got solar panels at home. So I haven't been to petrol station in many years. I'm jealous. Especially the price of the minute, right? But that surely is where I am interested in where we go, right? The cars that we take for a pint of milk and do the commute on a Monday morning, maybe you're listening to this in your car right now. Let's get those not emitting emissions. Let's get freight transport and all those things electric or zero emissions. But we don't ride horses to work anymore because of the motor car. But we still ride horses. And I'm the biggest proponent for I'm living this life, driving electric car, and I agree with it in principle. But if in 20 years time, we're still burning something to go watch motor racing. Well, we still ride horses, right? But I understand it's a halo. In terms of people look up to it and it has to lead the way. But if we're still burning stuff in the 20 years time, let's fix the 99% and then if we still do some stuff, it's not going to cause global warming. And I'm the person saying that anyway I disagree with me if you want to feel free to email podcast to auto sport dot com and say you're an idiot. I'll write straight away, yeah, why not? This topic is definitely a whole.

"It could be worse, Michael, because you could be out of a possible 511th. Participants, I was 428. Oh no. Yeah. Did you have Nikita Mazepin in your tank? Possibly. Probably you had Zach Brown. I had probably make sure who did I have. I don't think I've changed my mind in a little bit, 'cause I thought it was mine was a lucky, consistent team. I felt confident. But you know, there are people who tipped better than me and are better. So who do I have? I had say this is what's confusing. So I've got Ferrari in my thing, yeah. So that's okay. Pierre gasly. Fernando Alonso. Lando Norris. Surgery Perry's. That's very boss ass. Oh yeah, exactly. So how have I and how are there 427 others? That have just asked, I don't think that was a bad team. So much time, I'm not going to even go there. I'm not going to even change it, such as the team or confident with. Well, let me tell you what doctor Marco's dad Jane's house just for reference. He's team was Ferrari, same game. He's turbo driver was Carlos Sainz. That's good. Alex Albon. He didn't score points. Crash? No, I'm not very good. Sebastian Vettel, he scored some point. Why has he got points in this game? He didn't do that well. This is rigged. This is mega driver though as Max Verstappen. So he's got a lot of bonus points. In fact, all the top the top 6 this week all use the mega driver, which gets you triple points, I think, off the top of my head. Okay. So there you go. Overall, I'm currently ranked 354 out of 511, which means we are 182 short of the magic number. So get joining. And we'll check back next week on film in the beginning. Neutral. Couple more things to touch on before we wrap this one up. One is Mercedes. Lewis Hamilton on Friday was.

And <Speech_Male> I'm waiting <Speech_Male> for Dan Ricardo to come <Speech_Male> back to what I know he's <Speech_Male> capable of at least what he <Silence> was years ago with Red <Speech_Male> Bull. We <Speech_Male> haven't seen peak <Speech_Male> Daniel Ricardo in a long, <Speech_Male> long time. Same as <Silence> Sebastian Vettel, <SpeakerChange> and I <Speech_Male> <Silence> know they're not the best cars, <Speech_Male> but <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> that Aston Martin karma <Speech_Male> is really struggling. He keeps spinning <Silence> out and having like little <Speech_Male> problems, but <Speech_Male> I will say this <Speech_Male> to credit Sebastian <Speech_Male> Vettel he had one of the coolest moments <Speech_Male> I've ever seen in my life where <Speech_Male> he went through the runoff <Speech_Male> and then <Speech_Male> did a quick spin and spun <Speech_Male> all the way around like that <Speech_Male> showed so much control <Speech_Male> of the <Speech_Male> car where he <Speech_Male> did like a one 80 <Speech_Male> with one spin of the wheels <Speech_Male> in the runoff, <Speech_Male> which as such a low margin <Silence> for error that was very <Speech_Male> cool. But <Speech_Male> Seb needs to be better, <Speech_Male> so <Silence> Danny Rick, <Speech_Male> and <Speech_Male> it was a huge <Speech_Male> weekend for Red Bull. They really <Silence> widened the gap <Speech_Male> between <Speech_Male> them and Ferrari <Speech_Male> and the <SpeakerChange> storyline this <Speech_Male> weekend is that <Silence> <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> Ferrari <Speech_Male> man, you <Speech_Male> can't miss out on that many <Speech_Male> points and then allow <Speech_Male> your rival <Speech_Male> to get a one two <Speech_Male> finish and get all the points <Silence> and fastest laps. So <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> max points for Red Bull, <Speech_Male> no points for Ferrari <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> really, really painful weekend <Speech_Male> if you're a Ferrari fan. <Speech_Male> What do they call them <Speech_Male> the tifosi, I think, <Speech_Male> is their fan base. So <Speech_Male> anyway, <Speech_Male> the Azerbaijan <Speech_Male> Grand Prix was, <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> it wasn't <Speech_Male> fun necessarily, but <Speech_Male> it created a lot of <Speech_Male> interesting impacts <Speech_Male> leading off of <Speech_Male> it. And so <Speech_Male> I'm excited for the rest <Speech_Male> of the year. I hope you're enjoying Formula <Silence> One like I am and <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> yeah, it was a <Speech_Male> race <Speech_Male> with consequences <Speech_Male> is how I would put <Speech_Male> it.

That is <Speech_Male> episode one from the truck. <Speech_Male> It is so hot in here. <Speech_Male> I'm ready to. <Speech_Male> It was pretty good to like the <Speech_Male> last ten minutes. And <Speech_Male> it's the sun came out. It's <Speech_Male> right above me.

"Lot more forces involved in different points in those types of cars and those types of races. So I mean, he could actually just say, yeah, you think this is bad, go sit in a Dakar rally car for two weeks and see how you feel after that. But he had a pretty crazy crash in Dakar, right? Like he's like, ah. A walk straight out. No problem. What are you complaining about this? This is easy. Formula ones easy. So if you're interested to see if he's using that as a reference point or he just generally does feel he's yeah, it's fine and doesn't know why I wouldn't worry about. And then Jess just a quick word, I mean, you've known George Russell over the years, followed his career progressing, not intimately. I wasn't hinting at anything there, but you followed him as he's progressed through Formula One. You are historical. Do you have the same sense that I do that he has absolutely matured into a team leader, which is an insane thing to say when you are Lewis Hamilton's teammate, but on the radio afterwards, you've got total apologizing to Lewis saying we know we've built a ship box. We're really sorry. And then on the radio, George Russell saying great work team, let's move forward together and not just to kind of platitudes that all drivers say, you know, hey, team, thanks to the factory, but he sounds like he means it and he and he is as super focused as ever. I'm just amazed at how he's settled into that right. He has not been beaten into submission by Lewis Hamilton at all. In fact, the opposite. He's always been a team leader, whatever team he's been at, he has been the number one driver and he's, I think that's one thing that he's always had in some people used to criticize him for it, especially in the feeder series, but he knows what he wants. And he can be quite direct in talking to the team and getting what he wants. And he's always had that. His entire life. So in that respect, I'm not surprised. I think, you know, going into a team with Lewis Hamilton as a teammate is probably the next step up. But the fact that he's pulling in the performances probably now gives him the confidence to go, oh hey, I can carry on this way of working because as it stands right now, I'm the one bringing in the points. I still do get the sense, though, and I wonder if it is just because obviously George has been very, very careful this year to be very respectful about Lewis and how Lewis is performing and how they're working as a team. And that to me does still give me the indication that George sees this as Lewis team and I think there's a load of rumors flying around as to what's going on on either side of the garage, which we don't have proof of, so probably not right to speculate about. But that's the only thing that gives me a sense that he's not kind of looking to take over this team and lead it in a certain direction, but there will come a point where Mercedes might have to kind of double down on George as we talk about with all the teams just because of the two. The fact that you have two players in a team. I think that's a reflection of George knowing his team as well, if you see what I mean. He's smart enough to know there's no point going on and destabilizing things publicly when he may well be the Mercedes feature for 5, 6, 7, 8 years to come. Who knows what's going to happen in the next few years. Lewis could call it could call it quits very safe who knows. But yeah, he's smart with what he says. Sometimes he's almost like he's too smart. He's like, oh, George, give us something controversial. But he's just nice. He plays that team game so well. To his credit and also, you know, he doesn't need to do anything else because not only is he not causing the issues outside the car in the press. He's delivering with the car on the track. So a lot of his radio. I want to talk about a handful of drivers and cars next, which any of these could have got decent results. And all did get decent results. Pierre gasly coming home for AlphaTauri and 5th Sebastian Vettel in 6th and Alonso in 7th ahead of the two McLaren's of Ricardo and Lando Norris. And lots to unpack. Here, firstly, I think there's a decent shout for Sebastian Vettel to be driver of the day, because even though he bend it off by outbreaking himself, he still ran the mediums for ten laps and the halves for 43 had amazing pace for much of the race. And still got a great result. So Alex, you can now tell me why I'm wrong. Because of the road fuzzy fur off the road fighting gasly. Therefore, if you're going to do the driver, made it good. Verstappen didn't throw it off the road. Did he? Not this week. You can't discount the mistake. It's like I remember talking to a press room, quite actually our former colleague also sport Ed straw. And I think it was the only Austrian races in 2020 or maybe 2021 where Kimi Räikkönen just crashed into a Vettel at the end of the race. And his driver ratings, he got loaded criticism by people going like, oh, how can you mark him down for that? Do you want to see what the rest of his race was? Was it still counts? The error still counts. So as good as Vettel was and he was very good. So that's why he asked him. It cost him fourth place. He's cost him two places there. But good recovery. Let's do an amazing, an amazing day. One 80 spin. Very, very impressive. Almost taken out snow as well. Full style points. It was a little bit eager to get back on the track from the escape road, wasn't it? It was like, oh, you've done the cool spin move and it's just, you know, you've got a hold back. You didn't even come to a start. There's a whole thing was like beautiful to watch. It wasn't it Norris, in practice, they've got the spin move wrong and ended up having to do most of the hours. At least it wasn't Iraq, anything special that year he got he got stuck on that escape road and couldn't even work out that he needed to turn the steering wheel in order to turn the car. But there we go. I mean, back who just gives us the best takeaways and memories. It's an unforgiving track, but it does give us good memes. Okay, before we.

"Away immediately, that all the right things. But did you get a chance to speak to either of the hash drivers or the team after the race flight? Luke spoke to Bose. I spoke to both of them. Aren't you lucky? It was a very only very briefly to make. He was pulled away quite quickly, but yeah, he was taken to the medical center as tends to be the case with major accidents like this week. He said, look, I feel I feel okay and he said it was such a weird accident. He said he reckons he may be when a few centimeters onto a wet patch and quarter and then I just absolutely sent the car and it was just one of these things where there was only one line around that. If you go off the dry line you're in big trouble and I think Nick just caught a little bit of that with obviously very big consequences, but he was okay, which was good he's just said it's very, very annoying. Obviously this pointless run to start the season is it's not something he wants. I need to make a big breakthrough and I think the performances have been there have been good points, but we do need to see actual points to justify sort of what I guess what he's doing in the progress he's making. Sebastian Vettel, he was asked about mixed accident after the race and he said, I think you guys, I mean the media needs to sort of give him a break and stop being so hard on him, and it's like, yes, okay. That's a fair thing for you to say, but also it's our job to be critical and to hold people to account and to be journalists and to be analytical and I think that yeah, it is a mistake and it's the kind of thing that you look at and you say, look that cost you a chance to sort of be there when things all shook out. But yeah, so not what Mick would have wanted with camera. I mean, me and a lot of other people were like, oh wait, he's retired. So much was going on through the pit stops. It was only a few last place we actually thought that he was out of the race, but he was, again, surprisingly upbeat for a driver who just retired from the race. And he said that he thought that he was in a really good point. He thought that he had the pace to get past Bottas and he bought us up 9th, so could he have been in the mix for some points quite possibly, but he was a power unit issue in the end that ended Magnussen's race. It meant that Haas came away without any points today. Yeah, I did the same with Alex Alban. We haven't talked about Williams yet. I hadn't realized that he had retired on lap 48, such was the sort of focus on other things. And his teammate Nicholas Latifi, who I mentioned had that early lap one incident formation lap even in the treacherous conditions coming home. Probably no big Williams talking points coming out this weekend unless I'm wrong. Probably not. No, there you go. That sums up will be in a bit harsh. I had no cobblers. No, no, not at all. I mean, sometimes there's nothing to say about. Well, okay. They red hair. No, no red hair, the red hair. Yeah, that's not it's fading. But yeah, it's the kind of these kind of races that early in the season Williams were really capitalizing on and seizing the moment as the codders touched on earlier. But yeah, they weren't as able to do that today. Yeah, I think that I think for Williams, they, again, a bit like Aston Martin. It's like, where are they going? What more can they get out of this car? But this weekend was quite, it was quite anonymous. Latifi obviously had that crash on the formation lap and he's basically 5. The throttle got stuck. He just went on and it was something with the car, not a mistake on his part. So yeah, that would be something for William salty looking. But yeah, days of the kind of races where you would normally think, yet they're going to roll the dice and do something with Alban and maybe snare a point, but they weren't really in the picture at all today. Album was quick at certain points of the race. There were a couple of bits of the race where he was going purple, but that was because he was running on his own at the back, having committed a few blunders, he went off the track a couple of times. It just looked like a very difficult car to drive. They talk about it lacking down force. That's you sort of say, well, where in Monaco do you need down force? But these cars all run high down force packages to maximize what they have. And the Williams, that's just not in the car's skill set, unfortunately. And how many times over the past few years have we said that Williams is decently quick in a straight line, but lacks that ability to put down performance through aerodynamics. It's clearly some sort of ingrained problem that they need to address and it might even be a physical issue with their wind tunnel facilities, their research facilities because they've had a bit of a shake up a lot of bit of a shake up in their tech organization for a while. We could have asked FX demaison when he bumped into the lift ahead of us after we parked our car the other morning. Oh, I didn't realize that was him. Yeah. There we go. That's an hour. We move on to somewhere where there won't be those kind of downpours, at least highly unlikely air temple mid 20s. You would think for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. We're heading back to Baku, of course, we've mentioned already Sergio Pérez getting his first win for Red Bull their last year. Who is the fine fine team we are sending there to cover things for auto sports and motor sport dot com. We are sending Mac Hugh solo for also sport. I as some of my bids try and get some kind of work life balance.

"Because eventually cars are going to become increasingly electric, combustion will be considered an older technology. May still have a place in motor sport because that sort of becomes what motor sport is. Within surely you can have on the same card formula E and Formula One because you've got the modern style of racing, let's say, and you've got what becomes not necessarily classic, but just as its own thing is no longer part of the world, I guess, but somehow more removed from the world than Formula One is at the moment where you can sort of still see the connection back now, but that will no longer be the case. Maybe that is the way it works, and somehow you do have both on the same card, which is really interesting. And you know, I guess the thing they've got to get over, you know, these had Monaco for formula, didn't they in the cars much slower using the full track now though, which is interesting. But noticeably sorry, it's that whenever you take them to somewhere where a Formula One car races, you can tell the difference. Yeah. Once they bridge that gap, maybe it's gen three, maybe it's whatever the one after that will be probably gen four or imagine. Maybe they'll be close enough where you can do it. Yeah. It's an interesting question. Yeah. And it's because let's face it, formula E at the moment, probably isn't it's big, but it's not big enough, I think, to be selling. Imagine if in a mention if let's say there's a certain state government that was trying to get the rights to say Formula One. Well, what's the next best thing? Let's get this formula anything. Yeah. They look like F one cars. It's true. You put them in the city very easy. People won't know the difference. It's great. But it's not F one. It's slower. And it's safer. It's just, yeah, it's just not F one. And that's not a bad thing either. Like you don't have to be F one, but if you're, say, yeah, so let's say, for example, Sydney, in a hypothetical, we've got a formula from the town. It's kind of like, well, don't have F one. Yeah, it's true. It's not exactly you're not going to pull a huge, you're not going to pull 400,000 people. To watch it. So, and that's just. The ladder of life. That's the hierarchy of what it is. Now, because formula a, it's a sprint race. So it's just like F one where, yeah, the race is over and however, many laps. 45 minutes? Plus one. Is the catchy jingle? Yeah. Something different to say, just like a touring car. It's no different to WKCR or something like that, or a local touring car category or whatever. So in your capital city. So yeah, it's just for me, it just makes sense if just hog the F one, so because it's kind of the same thing, it belongs in the sphere. And if it's about showcasing technology and stuff like that, if you just keep existing, eventually it'll just go, you know what? This is too expensive. We can't afford to prop up these events. It's too hard. At least if everyone's kind of chipping in. You want to be a formula a cash tipping into a Grand Prix weekend. It makes F one cheaper. You would think. This, yeah, yes. Or rises the value of it because it's now we can make even more money out of it. And with F one B, the kind of ridiculous whatever it wants to be, because the green credentials of the event come from the fact we've got the technological showcase that is formula E yeah. So who knows that a lot? That's just my idea. Ross, you can have that if you like. Oh, I can scrape. Get Randy. Alejandro, give him a call. Let's regret Sebastian Vettel on a not unrelated note because he appeared on the UK version of Q&A. Yes, which is very high for Luton. Very much. It seemed much more than I mean, I only saw clips, but at the same like there was more decorum. Ah, more with the quorum on the UK version of question time than the Australian version of Christian time Michael this offered. Well, I mean, of actual questions. No question. Let's miss the speaker and more. Mister peddle. More content, yeah, more, which is, again, the right inform of the one has grown, but also matured in that time as well, because I think the last time Formula One appeared in general television. So the mainstream to the MSM. Yeah, this is what happened when you brought Formula One into the mainstream stratosphere. On the first Formula One constructor's cup in 1955. Which British team won the first Formula One constructors cup in 1958. Martin Brundle, vanilla. Who would the age of 22 years and 26 days became the youngest Grand Prix winner with his victory in the 2003 Hungarian Grand Prix, lotus. It's Stephen black. Goodbye. Tonight.

"For quite a while. Got it done. Track record right there. Let's talk about our other believe it is. Multi-billion days. I don't actually know. It's a good question. So the next 5 years. Shut down. Let's talk about Alejandro gag. Oh, yeah. The millionaire or billionaire? They have to be happy. Millionaire is almost unimpressive now. Millionaire is almost the working wage for the privilege. I mean, former law drivers are multi millionaires, but that's true. It's a good point actually. Whatever. I could save their own home. That would care about the interest rates. But they still can't. I thought I bet this was a multi millionaire, for example. Let's say, let's say in $20 million. That's great. A year. Obviously. Yes. You wouldn't forget who you were. A man of the people. Absolutely. And so the fact that I have $20 million, it's a finite resource. $20 million. Obviously, text because I'll be honest a bit more money, Michael. I believe it infrastructure. I want schools. Yeah, why not? I would do that. I would. You know what? Have ten. That's what we all throw the greater good. So have these looked after me for however many years. It's time to give back. So let's say I got tend to play with after-tax there. Okay. And then I got wouldn't mind buying a couple of historic rally cars. Maybe I want to buy a bit of property. Doesn't leave you with much change. Because you think you could just, you know, play basketball, live in LA all in life, but you know, sometimes you have to sometimes you have to bid for business class. You can't just buy business class. That's true. Whereas billionaires. Easy. Straight into business class. Exactly. Ten minutes of commercial. In the lead up to a series of events? Yeah, yes. Care in the world. Whereas, you know, if you were say Sebastian Vettel, you have to instead request an appearance to be talking on. Yeah, what presumably or did he? I don't even know. I would say no, that's slanderous. Please don't tell. Hey, don't you? We got this fashion riddle in the second in fact. We've got about him for a minute. But Alejandro gag probably billionaires we've decided in the legislation. I don't know he's tax returns. I don't know anything about him. Alleged. Yeah. He's pretty wealthy. He's my point. He's pretty wealthy. He does all right. That's not even by the point of this story anyway. He's the CEO of the chairman of the credit formula here, whatever he specific positions at the moment, but he thinks that there needs to be greater communication, synergy between Formula One and formula E because in his opinion, unsurprisingly, formula E, or electric racing is the undeniable future, only you only be doing combustion racing and these where he's words paraphrased. If you want to go slower and be less exciting because before too long, we saw the gender he talked about gen three of formula a couple of weeks ago. Looks like a big paper plane. But they fastened the old ones on as fast Formula One obviously, but you know, every step of getting closer and closer and it will come to a point. I don't think it's going to happen any time soon, but decisions will have to be made. Yeah, give it 50 years, it'll be there could be less. I don't know. Formula a is what? Maybe ten. It's about ten, I reckon. Ten years old. Give it another 50 of development would be 65 in. Yeah, you hastened to think what they will be capable of by then. So who knows if the lines between formula a and Formula One will blend because imagine just even Formula One 60 years ago was unfathomable today that we would have a crypto dot com Miami Grand Prix. It's unfathomable because even now. To Jackie Stewart. Jimmy riding. No shirt on. And yeah, just be stunned. You go, what kind of future is this? I don't know if I want to be part of it, but the future ain't too bad. Jackie Stewart want to be part of it. You see these cash in it for him. In fact, these part of it is still here. Some kind of bank club will last. I evolved. It's just to wear shit. Yeah. But however, it's also maybe not an admission, but it's also, it's a, in the classic merger sort of style. It is a quote unquote. I'll turn out the actual quote. But it's an efficiency. Scale of efficiency, economies of scale. Economies of scale, yes. Save your home. I don't know. Yeah. Companies have scale, I think it's traded for afraid of and it makes sense. Why does formula E need to stand on its own two legs and have its own offshoot event? There's a multitude of reasons why they do, but that was obviously started. Probably now is not the right time to be on the F one and the card, as it works. I think what maybe Formula One's future is a couple of is something that something that I don't think has been discussed. Formula One's future is obviously you think of just the 20 plus cars and maybe the Android E car if the teams can get their act together. However, I think more and more. Because there's some practicalities that with Formula One now they're a bit different to what it was ten years ago, obviously the liberty maybe a thing. But as a weekend, you now have four military and formula three as a very good product. It was almost the forgotten afterthought in the olden days if you remember. Now formula two formula three, you've got Fox Sports that are pumping it up on KO and what have you, you know, so people and obviously there's a different reason why that tier in Australia. But formula two formula three was I think we've discussed the years ago. Should be in that same realm as moto two moto three. Absolutely. Because you don't, yeah, it's the support category, but you actually actively want to watch it because it's genuinely exciting. So it's connected. Like you see the drivers progress that's the idea. You've got W series now, which obviously plays a role in that motor sport pathway as well. Poor and then the formula E is part of that ecosystem two for, I guess, slightly different reasons. More of a technology kind of way but it's a platform it's a showcase. And it's also, you would think formula a if they were the undercard to say a Grand Prix weekend. The Grand Prix weekend is a festival of all things motorizing, just happens to be with a halo on top. But yeah, I think they'll come a point where it's part of Formula One, but perhaps in a different way to what we're all thinking where it's not replacing Formula One is just pass. It's an interesting point, isn't it? I hadn't thought about it like that, but Formula One's adamant that it can be combustion. Engine in one way or another. You can't rule that either. No, you can't really. Because let's not forget in 2026 with the new engines are going to be no carbon fuel zero car. What do you say sustainable fuel? No carbon zero freedom freedom, whatever. And I think that maybe not forever, but no one knows for everybody the long medium to the medium to long-term. That will be sustainable for Formula One, it'll have a social license and so on will continue to race and be popular and drive to survival continue forever. I'm in. But why not in that circumstance? If you can say, what will be your old technology? Because eventually cars are going to become increasingly electric, combustion will be considered an older technology. May still have a place in motor sport because that sort of becomes what motor sport is. Within surely you.

"On auto sport dot com this week about people already asking Sebastian about contract situations. Yeah, so his contract time for Sebastian obviously given his age ultimately and where he wants to be in his life. It's a bit of a crossroads moment. And he's ultimately putting it down to it's always been about this Aston Martin project and leading them to the front and he's always saying it is something that he relished in this sort of part of his formula and career, but ultimately time isn't really on his side, particularly. And he feels so if there's not a sufficient progress this year, given the resources and everything that's going behind the team and behind the scenes. It might not be the right call for him to continue with it. But yeah, it was a long way to go. Like you say, days like this could swing back the positive momentum. The car still will be honest, yeah, like you say, wasn't Q three guaranteed and like you say, with conditions are getting drier, I think it's going to be a tough ass for stay in the top ten for the rest of the weekend, but you never know. And developments could come and that car could get turned around in the same way that basically any car on the grid can still turn it around. But we'll see. The decision will come over the coming months and he's got a lot of races to get through to sort of judge it. But also jazz it within himself is this challenge that he still wants, is he still hungry for it. He's obviously got a lot of more interests in the wider world. So yes, it's to be seen, but I think all Formula One fans hope Sebastian Vettel hangs around at least for a few more seasons. He's a good person to have in the paddock. He's obviously a very important member of the former on drivers group as well as the directors and the Grand Prix drivers association and obviously one of the senior heads alongside sort of people like Alonso and Hamilton. But yeah, we'll sort of see as the time goes. What he fancy is doing because unless super slot opens up and it's only for him at one of the teams at the front wheel, which looks unlikely, let's be honest. He hasn't really got many options that will probably be better. So it's not as if he'd look elsewhere. So it's Aston Martin or all that. Really? In a polite way. I do mean that in a January sort of nice. No, no, no, but it's true. It's true of any elite sports person. Do you do a Rosberg and quit while you're ahead? Or it has the reason that you've been so successful in your career, that mental strength that you are so good. Lead you to do a Raikkonen. I don't know, Raikkonen's motivation for staying in Formula One, but just apart from just being Kimmy. But to be a Vettel are an Alonso in machinery that is not going to put you on the top step of the podium. It is kind of heartbreaking as a fan. Of those amazing drivers to see them not have the machinery to do what they're capable of. And when do they call it a day and Wendy just keep driving in cars that are not going to do your career at the service, but that's a whole different podcast, right? Final couple of minutes. Russell and Hamilton out in Q two, as you've mentioned, rain arriving in Toto Wolff though saying the bouncing was so bad, even in when the conditions were more dry. It even broke one of these floor stays. And that's not easy to do. Although total saying, actually, it's tire warm up, which is the main source of their time deficit to the front. FP one, I've not got my notes in front of me, but it was like 5, was it 5 seconds off the pace in FP one and just not good. It wasn't hooked up in that session. Both cars out in Q two, they're worst qualifying in ten years since 2012. After what kind of coverage are we running from what George and Hamilton are saying, I just read a couple of bits and all the sport dot com where Hamilton seems more dejected than I've read the quotes, but I've not seen how he said that, but just the words he just said. Yeah, his reaction in general comments, feedback, and body language in the way he was acting post quality was a very dejected, very frustrated driver and to be expected really. He doesn't want to be qualifying in 13th place and down the grid again. He knows the situation that Mercedes is currently in with their car and general performance at the moment. But I think he is starting to show the frustrations now of they're trying to do everything they can, but at the moment they're just the fixes are not there. And like you say, it's definitely a sort of a vicious circle in terms of if they don't have the down force on the car because of the porpoising, then they have issues with tyre warm up and tyre sort of control and therefore they need more down force, but they need to lower the car, but they got pulp and that damage is literally ripping the car to pieces as we heard with Russell losing one of the floor stays, which is like a very there's a lot of force going through there. So it still feels like the car has huge potential. But these issues that sort of circle around each other and just there's this very much just spiral feeling that they need to fix that stop that cycle and then.

"You know, technology has moved on with CFD, et cetera now, but there's definitely a need at Mercedes to get some more real world data. Hey, final talking point from you. I want to get your take on this Sebastian Vettel as of recording this under investigation for riding a moped on the track. I understand FIA wants safety. They want drivers and Marshalls and everyone working event to be safe. Like it's hardly Mansell giving center a side pod ride in 1991 at Silverstone is it. I mean, it's not that dangerous to see Vettel on a scooter, taking himself back to the pits. When the session had finished, but why is he in trouble? There's a strict wording of the FY regulations that say drivers aren't allowed on track without permission from Marshall's, I think this is 5 minutes after the session is finished. So instead of that explains to the closed car and stops in FP one, they try to get it going on meeting and it wasn't possible. There's moped appeared. So it was off the lift, but I don't think he likes being a bit of a backseat passenger. So he said, can I ride it myself in the last of the year? Sure, go for it. Now, whether that meant go for it and ride around on track or yeah, go for it, make your way back around there. Access roads are not, we don't know. So I think both Sam and the Martian involved were someone to see the stewards. I mean, it is a safety thing. And I think on one side, you can see it is important that drivers aren't just run onto track because you can't tell what's happening 5 minutes after the session, especially because finish your kids appear to be over in a car's gone off somewhere and medical cars running around. So there are genuine grounds for this boat. Hopefully there's some sensible outcome for the stewards or common sense comes to the fore. But it's definitely give us giving us some iconic images surface has this habit doesn't even have just doing something on every Grand Prix weekend that becomes a meme. So he's done it again. That's the thing, right? It's an image. It's one of the most viewed images of the weekend so far, with him with his helmet half off, so that he's been criticized for having his helmet resting on his head. And at times waving to the crowd with both hands. And yet, in the same sentence, will people will say, oh, these are the best drivers on the planet, and then be criticized for riding a scooter with his hands off the handlebars. You know, like every 12 year old kid does. So, I don't know, we'll let yeah, clearly safety is priority, but hey, come on. Let's have riders scooter around. And gave a bit of a wave to the fans as well. So let's hope that nobody gets in trouble over that. A sensible outcome is required. John, thank you so much for joining us on the Friday podcast today. You're off to Italy. And then Ferrari saying that they've got some engine upgrades coming like this sounds ominous, but it's so good to have, well, that's a we're impartial, obviously, but for the organizers and for the fans, so good to have Ferrari back at the sharp end as well. One of the big fears going into this season is that one team would get a massive kind of head start or get a massive leap and everybody else and we just end up with a run of one twos for that team unchallenged which will then kind of take the shine off the season. So I think it's great that the Ferrari the Red Bull fight is so tightly poised at the moment. We'll be about development and I think both Ferrari and Red Bull will be rolling out the upgrades coming from imola onwards. They've been quite light so far in terms of upgrades. I think it's due to the fly away nature. And the impact the cost cap because everyone's trying to play as tactical game of not spending all their cash too soon. I think it's good for more on that for us up there. It's still an iconic team. It's still an important team, a lot of fans around the world. And I think, you know, hopefully Mercedes can get their act together, can get into that fight because of three way fight involving leclerc, Verstappen, Hamilton, Russell, signs, Perez, all three of them, all 6 drivers and three teams going at it would be absolutely sensational for the second half of the season. Absolutely. All right, thank you, John, make sure that you check in and read what John's writing over the weekend at autosport dot com and motor sport dot com.

"Exciting technological competitive entertaining all really good sort of positive words revolving around their Formula One at the moment. I think that does say that their stewardship has led it in the right direction. And if it can continue to combine that with the new audiences that we've found although two thirds of the fans who did replace an F one needs to do more to attract new fans, we're not at the end of the journey so far as to get in that completely right. But the fact that 58% have said that the sport has the right balance of sport and entertainment. That's really come up from some really low levels in previous surveys. So I think that and you could also go along with that whole it's the Pinnacle of the sport, having 90% of your fans saying that's the truth. That's a really good validation of what the sport is about and where it should be going in the future. Technological came out very high in 2017 was 60%. That's down to 45%, which is not a bad thing in my view. I think, you know, Formula One is about technology and innovation, but you don't want the technology to dominate the people and the racing. Another one that I find interesting is prestigious, so prestigious was only 16.9 back in 2015. It went up to 29 and a half in the 2017 survey, and it struck down a little bit in this one to 23.9. Now, you could look at that and say, well, that's not such a great thing because obviously follow on markets itself to a lot of its global partners on a prestige basis. But I think that's a natural consequence of opening the sport up if you like and this younger audience and everything else. I think Formula One still is considered to be very stylish and very upmarket and a quality premium product, but it's not necessarily a bad thing for the prestigious to have dropped down a little bit. No, absolutely. We're now going to get on to, as you mentioned earlier, James, probably one of the most interesting parts of the survey, which is the popularity of the drivers and the teams and who is F ones. Well, who is the favorite F one driver among fans? And it was Lewis Hamilton who won that vote in 2017, but he's down to number three this year and it's the man leading the championship his title rival, Max Verstappen, whose displaced him at the top, he was voted fans favorite driver with 14.4% of the votes. Naturally number one in the Netherlands, but it was not it was not decisive, the Netherlands vote in making him number one. So James, do you think that shows that max has actually got quite a global following despite us being so used to seeing the Dutch fans in the grandstands wiring in their orange shirts? Yeah, I think this is a really, really interesting discovery from this survey. Not at all Dutch biased as you say, and he's very popular in the U.S.. He's popular in Japan, which I guess also has a bit of a bit to the fact that he's driving a Honda engine car, and he's winning. So, you know, if you put those two things together as Senna found in his time, you know, you do get a fair degree of popularity in Japan. But also his popularity is across the different audience age bands as well. But he's particularly dominant in the 35 to 54 age group. So I think it's I think max would be quite gratified, particularly when you consider that he's not like a super active. I mean, he has an active social media following, but not like some of the other drivers. I think this is a guy who does his talking on the track. Answering that is the driver who is very prolific on social media. Lando Norris and he actually finished second in the vote with 13.7%. A beating his compatriot Lewis Hamilton and he ranked number one among female fans and was number one in all age groups under the age of 24 as well. And we see Lando does his Twitch streaming, he's prolific on social media, brilliant with his digital output. Charles, do you think that has been crucial in making him so popular among this younger generation of F one fans? Yeah, absolutely. I think he's right in a sort of niche, but that sort of new generation of people coming and he's really captured their imagination. I think it's quite similar if you look back at some of the stats previously, Daniel Ricciardo was a driver who came in and made a very big impact back in the 2015 survey. He's kept obviously kept that kept that fan base around which obviously is presented around this fantastic personalities got as well. I think also Lando been very open with the fans as well, especially when he's talking about the struggles with mental health and other issues around that. I think that's really rewards him in the fact that people can relate to him. You know, he's not been in Formula One very long. If you go back and look at max's first first year in our survey, he was infinitesimal vote rating compared to where he's got to now. The fact that Lando's come in so hot straight away is quite remarkable. And also good to see Sebastian Vettel still still right up there in the top 5 places. Again, somebody who's got a real social conscience and is really working hard off the track. And I think that really does help with his fan base to keep him in the limelight also. And that will also polled very well among fans who didn't have one favorite team that they said they supported quite a broad number of drives and teams, so it kind of shows, I guess the global appeal of Sebastian Vettel, which was really nice to see. Now on the team side of things, Lando Norris, I think his contribution was key in McLaren being voted F one's most popular team with 29.5%.

"That's what I would deem that to be. I think you're probably right there. He's not going to want to hear that. Yeah. Again, I'm just speculating. One thing's for sure. He is best. He is angry. That's for sure. Yeah. Another guy is going to be pretty raging after this race is Sebastian Vettel giardi ended up finishing down in 12th after getting hit about three or four times or something like that. People just seem to be attracted to his car and they ended up suffering because of it. Out of the points, it's a pretty forgettable weekend for him, really. Yeah, it's forgettable, that's the only word I've got for it really. And it's, you know, as much as we want to see Seb do well and everything. Yeah, getting beat up by our con the and then just nothing nothing really for him like he didn't have a great time in the sprint race. Either I think he finished 11th or whatever qualified. So effectively went backwards during the Grand Prix. So, you know, that's the thing like I just want to pick to Lawrence Stroll at the end of the year and what does he think about how the whole year's gone? They had a podium, you know, they had a podium taken away, but overall it's been a hot mess for Aston Martin this year, you know, like big brand, a lot of new sponsors coming on board big investment. You would have expected a bit more show bodie kind of results, but yeah, it's just look forward to 2022. And I don't know if you guys have heard speculation and stuff coming in about that all possibly not racing next year. It all sounds rubbish to me, but yeah, this is like, why bring it up? I don't see it. I've not heard any of that personally, but I don't think that's going to help. And I can he's going to honor his contract to me. If he was ever going to give up, we would have given up the Ferrari last year, you know. He's a guy who owners his deals at the end of the day..

"Figured out for whatever is going to be the outcome of the Sebastian Vettel. He'll the next race is August 29th. In Belgium, I, I'm kind of grateful, I'm in the middle of moving. I need a little bit of a break. I just, I really I, in fact, I know for a fact there are really good videos out there covering, I haven't watched them. But I see the titles on YouTube, you don't click on my busy, but even if you like, even if you Google Sebastian, Vettel a bunch of videos come up. So I would encourage anybody who's curious, go look up, whatever videos you can find dead. About Sebastian, vettel's appeal and the fuel problem. It's it's very weird and it felt very trivial and I felt like the FIA kind of targeted him for God knows what reason. There's a political reason I'm not going to go into it. It's I don't know, but it just was very very bizarre and very, very weird. I want to see if there's anything else worth mentioning. I think that's pretty much it, man. I I've been slammed moving. This a hard race to discover because of so much uncertainty. I thought maybe if I waited a day or two then the Sebastian Vettel. I've been busy too, but I thought maybe the fashion Vettel appealing, get wrapped up, it doesn't appear, that's going to happen anytime soon. And it is worth mentioning Mercedes cost them first place because they did not switch their time. You know, there was a moment where Lewis Hamilton during formation left, could not get radio orders and he did not go into the pit Lane and stuff everyone else went into pit Lane. He didn't want to risk losing his first place spot. So he didn't and had to do the research job. On what with wets instead of flicks for the race. And so I don't know man. I'm really I just this race, I felt for Red Bull here. They got screwed over off valve, turbo, tosses the teammate of the year but also I really firmly believe more now than ever that George Russell's going to eventually replace battery botas as a nice one driver for Mercedes. It just every little news story. I see, it's like so obvious. I don't know why they won't announce it, but if Mercedes was planning on keeping battery botas, they would have already announced that binome fact that they haven't is incredibly telling. So interesting to me, I want to shift gears now to a couple of other things in the Sports, World stories and stuff going on. Let me just say the Olympics are going on. I couldn't care less about the Olympics. I don't I haven't really watched them at all. I don't care. It's weird. There's no fans. I it's like I don't care about pole vault. And what's the one shot shot? Put isn't compelling to me at all, some of the racing like running running races or interesting stuff like that. Here is the one thing that blows me away about the Olympics, though. I bought it. My token topic about the Olympics for whatever it's worth. Exactly. It only happens, every four or five years you know, five years cuz of covid-19 year imagine you know.

"Races I've ever seen in form of the one weird, because for, for many reasons. First of all map, one that reboot. Mercedes driver crashed, you took out both Red Bulls. The session got stopped Max. First happens car for red bull attack. Damaged here. 1 2 3 4 5 6 drivers did not finish the race. Lando Norris Sergio Perez. Lance stroll, Charles Le Claire about your Botox himself and of course Ben. What's it Nikita mazepin? That's his actual name. Hate that guy. Just what a weird race. So how do we? What are you begin here? First of all, there's light rain early on in the race, they read they, they red flagged the session they stopped after a while. Everyone had to restart. They tried to, like, literally rebuild Max first happens car, he had no downforce could barely pass mix. Schumaker, literally took him like 30, freaking laps to pass mix Schumaker and that's kind of one of the weirdest parts of this race is that, you know, Lewis Hamilton was in first going into the race restart app. So they did a formation lap and Lewis. Hamilton goes to the start cuz he's in first month. And every other driver went into pit Lane to change their tires, because they realize detractors way drier than we thought. 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..
