And welcome here to another
1:05
edition of Oscar Online Headlines,
1:07
Sean Callahan, Steve Sippel, and
1:10
we're gonna talk plenty of
1:12
basketball, but I hope you got
1:14
a lot of. in the locker, not
1:16
a lot's gone on since China
1:19
in terms of news and storylines
1:21
to keep an eye on. So
1:23
it actually, obviously sarcasm fully loaded
1:25
there, it actually made for a
1:27
Friday viewing of interest for sure
1:29
because of Yuki's note of course
1:32
being in the red ball, awesome
1:34
back down in the V-carb, down
1:36
or up, we will discuss that.
1:38
Is it a demotion, is it
1:40
a promotion? Is it a promotion?
1:43
But Tommy, how you feeling bro? the
1:45
first session had the intrigue of seeing
1:47
how people would do and then the
1:49
second session had absolute carnage basically couldn't
1:52
have been more polar opposite really yes
1:54
because let's be honest nobody set their
1:56
alarms for FP1 if you're in the
1:58
UK but we did catch up on
2:00
it And it was pretty uneventful, you
2:02
know, when you watch the highlights and
2:05
they talk about the liveries and just
2:07
generally cars going round on track and
2:09
the lap times that they did that
2:11
there wasn't much to talk about. Of
2:13
course Lando went off slightly, or was
2:15
it Oscar? One of them McLarens went
2:18
off, Lando went off, slightly. Or
2:20
was it Oscar? One of the
2:22
McLarens went off, Lando, and Lando
2:24
in the last chic. One-tenth off
2:26
of new teammateake New Teammate Max
2:28
for Stappin, which... Well, I was
2:30
saying and thinking before we watch
2:33
through practice too, here we go,
2:35
okay, all right, Rebela found the
2:37
solution, but we can't really say
2:40
too much about FP1, can we? No,
2:42
because don't get me wrong, you did
2:44
a good job and it is
2:46
a big headline kind of statement
2:48
to go in and immediately. Just
2:51
for Redball racing to be able
2:53
to tweet a graphic that doesn't
2:55
say P5, P20, that actually has
2:57
the two cars together for the
2:59
first time in a very long
3:01
time, is good for them. Of course, we
3:03
don't know yet because of, we'll get
3:06
into this, but obviously Sonoda didn't
3:08
really set a proper lap
3:10
in the interrupted FP2 session,
3:13
but the thing is... We don't know the
3:15
kind of pace of the car and
3:17
if Max is on the hot lab
3:19
or whatever, we will find out in
3:21
EP3. But it is definitely a promising
3:24
start for Yiki, that's
3:26
for sure. Certainly is.
3:28
First question, P1Patory member,
3:30
SavageMonkey 3.0, how well has
3:32
Yuki adjusted so far? He hasn't
3:35
binded it, hasn't caused a
3:37
red flag, like quite a
3:39
few drivers, Fandolonsa. I mean I say
3:41
that like I didn't give him because because
3:43
surprise this weekend don't know what I'm saying
3:45
about that but you know I just take
3:47
any any sort of opportunity to pray for
3:49
your downfall. But yeah you keep look he's
3:51
not made any headlines for any bad reasons.
3:53
FP1 as we said up in P6 a
3:55
tenth off Max that's all you can ask
3:57
for and probably a little bit more than
3:59
we. all expected. Free practice too, he
4:01
didn't even do a soft representative
4:03
run, we'll get into FP2 a
4:06
little bit more shortly. Sandbagging, clearly.
4:08
Sandbagging. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he knows
4:10
he's got all that pace in.
4:12
You reckon, yeah, get a pole
4:14
position. Okay. But yes, I think
4:16
the only thing you can say
4:18
from Friday practice is that he
4:20
didn't do anything drastically wrong and
4:22
that's great. Exactly, that's all. Red
4:24
Bull needed really to just him
4:26
have a solid session which he
4:28
had a more than solid session
4:30
in the first one and then
4:32
the second one you know there'll
4:34
be headlines and we'll talk about
4:36
it of which car is actually
4:38
quicker because of the lap times
4:40
between the two Red Bull cars
4:43
but we didn't we didn't actually
4:45
see what what Yuki could do
4:47
in that interrupted session so we'll
4:49
have to find out tomorrow really.
4:51
A next question, this makes me
4:53
laugh, but we're going to read
4:55
it out anyway, at McCrickers. Does
4:57
Yuki's initial performance show Horner and
4:59
Marco were wrong all this time?
5:01
Wow, that is one of the
5:03
biggest knee-jerk reactions I've seen so
5:05
far this season. One Friday practice
5:07
in the locker, Yuki Senoda, one
5:09
of the best drivers we've seen
5:11
in the modern era, they were
5:13
all wrong. Let's just wait and
5:15
see. I still think Red Bull
5:17
are struggling. Overall, we saw some
5:20
very difficult on boards for Max
5:22
Verstappen in particular, where they will
5:24
actually line up. I'm actually quite
5:26
confident now, and I wasn't coming
5:28
into this weekend about my crazy
5:30
prediction about racing balls potentially being
5:32
ahead of Red Ball. But from
5:34
this Friday running, it's looked like
5:36
it could genuinely be possible. So
5:38
we will wait and see on
5:40
that one, won't we tell me?
5:42
We will. Yeah, we don't know
5:44
yet. You know, if Yiki does
5:46
do well. We'll have this conversation
5:48
because I think there's a lot
5:50
to be said about Horner and
5:52
Marco's management of the Redball team
5:54
and how you know in two
5:57
races they've They've put the guy
5:59
that potentially, well arguably, should have
6:01
been there in the first place.
6:03
And so if he does a
6:05
good job, it does kind of
6:07
embarrass them even though obviously they'll
6:09
want him to do a good
6:11
job. One thing I have not
6:13
seen though, and I can't believe that
6:15
journalists haven't asked, is why wasn't Yuki
6:17
put in in the first place? No
6:19
one seems to have asked Christian
6:21
Honda that question. It'd be interesting
6:24
to see. I think the team
6:26
principle... press conferences today I believe
6:28
so it would be interesting
6:31
to see if that gets asked. But
6:33
of course, you know, Yeki Sinoda
6:36
was the more experienced
6:38
driver, the more fan favourite, the
6:40
more commercial driver. So
6:42
why they put Lawson in the
6:44
first place because we've heard from
6:47
them and something that Christian
6:49
Honda has actually said
6:51
is that hearing from the Red
6:54
Bull team themselves. He kind of
6:56
alluded to the fact that Lawson was out
6:58
his depth a bit when they were talking
7:00
about car setup and how to actually
7:02
get a handle on the car. So I
7:04
really want to know why Yiki wasn't putting
7:06
in the first place for me. So do
7:09
I. We're not going to get a... actual
7:11
answer are we though if anyone asks that
7:13
and they probably have to be honest with
7:15
you I seem to recall sort of wishy-washy
7:17
answers of the fact that they were both
7:19
very close and they decided to go with
7:21
Lawson over Sonoda but I think as you
7:23
say very more commercially viable. I'm a market
7:25
to blame Adrian Newi and then Adrian Newi's
7:27
wife tweeted this makes no sense he
7:29
was unguarding leave. I
7:32
don't know if you saw that.
7:34
I did. I didn't see the Newy
7:36
wife tweet, but I did see the
7:38
Marco slander towards Newy. Basically just overall
7:41
just shows what crazy situation rebel are
7:43
in currently. They're all just sort
7:45
of internally combusting right now. This time
7:47
last year, they were in McLaren
7:50
situation of like they're untouchable,
7:52
you know, they're four tenths clear
7:54
what's happening. Is what an absolutely
7:56
insane thing to think literally
7:59
this time last... year, we're going, no one
8:01
will catch Red Bull, they're invincible. Let's
8:03
get on to free practice two
8:05
then. And this one was the exact
8:07
opposite of what we saw in
8:10
free practice one. It was crazy. We
8:12
had four red flags, one of
8:14
which was caused by Jack Dewin, who
8:16
had a massive crash. It was
8:18
such high speed into turn one. And
8:20
I was watching the sky coverage.
8:22
I know you were as well, Tommy,
8:25
not particularly leaning towards a reason
8:27
as to why he crashed that way.
8:29
Immediately when I saw it, that
8:31
looks exactly like me on the F1
8:33
game many, many times where I've
8:35
forgotten to close DRS and the rear
8:37
has gone, goodbye. And then you
8:39
just lose all downforce and you're into
8:42
the wall. It looked almost exactly
8:44
the same for Dewin. And then riding
8:46
on board as well, you see
8:48
the replays and you see the F1
8:50
TV analysis and Jolyon Palmer, who
8:52
is great. And he said that, know,
8:54
you can see on the steering
8:57
wheel that there's these green lights, which
8:59
suggest that the DRS is open.
9:01
So as much as from the replays,
9:03
you can't see necessarily the rear
9:05
flap open. By the time, obviously, he
9:07
starts to lose it, he's probably
9:09
pressed the brakes and therefore the DRS
9:11
closes automatically. But if you aren't
9:14
aware, you know, DRS doesn't close automatically,
9:16
it's whenever you press the brakes.
9:18
So press the brake, DRS closes. But
9:20
into turn one, they press the
9:22
brakes so late, pretty much into turn
9:24
two, that they have to manually
9:26
close the DRS. And from what it
9:29
looks like right now, whether there's
9:31
been more analysis, we wait to see,
9:33
it just looks like Dewin has
9:35
forgotten to close his DRS. There was
9:37
obviously the reasonings potentially of bottoming
9:39
out of him dipping a wheel. I
9:41
don't think he dipped a wheel,
9:44
didn't look like he dipped a wheel.
9:46
The bottoming out thing is hard
9:48
to obviously judge. But from what I've
9:50
seen, that is very much driver
9:52
error for getting to close the DRS.
9:54
It seems a very plausible reason
9:56
and I'm inclined to go with recent,
10:00
you know, Formula One driver that's
10:02
kind of driven in Formula One
10:04
failure recently in this DRS era,
10:06
if you like. As
10:08
you were saying that, one thing
10:10
that popped into my
10:12
mind was back when they
10:14
were kind of allowing DRS. There
10:18
was that moment, I believe it
10:20
was 2018 at the British
10:22
Grand Prix, and they kind of
10:24
allowed DRS through corners and
10:26
things. And yeah, Marcus Erickson forgot
10:28
to close the DRS there.
10:30
And it's a very similar crash
10:32
where the rear just it's like
10:34
it literally like banana peel Mario Kart,
10:36
the whole back end just spins around
10:39
and you're a passenger. And it looked
10:41
very, very similar to that. So I'd
10:43
be inclined to believe that was the
10:45
case. But just thank
10:47
goodness he's okay because
10:49
you see, it's
10:52
a weird thing to say, because you know,
10:54
Formula One cars are going fast. But until
10:56
they go off, you don't kind
10:58
of almost get that realization of
11:00
just how insanely quick they're going
11:02
into these corners. Because boy, when
11:04
when you kind of see him go
11:06
off, you're kind of taken back and go
11:08
all my word. This is quite insane.
11:10
It was quite an uncomfortable watch to
11:13
see the car going in that
11:15
quick. And just just
11:17
madness that this kind can happen. And
11:19
he can jump out now. I
11:21
mean, it is incredible. So glad to
11:23
see do and walk away from
11:26
what we know as unscathed. What
11:29
I will say as well on
11:31
the whole doing conversation that maybe hasn't
11:33
been spoken about is, and
11:36
this kind of points more towards
11:38
again, Alpine, not exactly
11:40
backing doing for
11:42
his entire rookie season. It's the fact that he had
11:44
to sit out for practice one. Now he's
11:46
literally a rookie in the third race
11:49
of the season. And they've put
11:51
Hirakawa in to replace him rather than
11:53
Gasly, which tells you, I think
11:55
in my opinion, all you need to
11:57
know about where Alpine's eggs lay. So
12:00
for me obviously doing is on
12:02
the back foot slightly, yes he
12:04
should have built up more and
12:06
you know the absolute categorical reason
12:08
has not been put out there, but
12:11
what we've kind of discussed I
12:13
think is very plausible with the
12:15
DRS not being closed. You have
12:17
to feel a little bit for him in
12:19
the sense of yeah. If a team generally
12:21
wants a driver to improve and
12:23
build into a season, they give
12:25
him free practice one in his
12:27
third race weekend. But alas, glad
12:29
does he do and walk away from
12:32
it okay? If it is put
12:34
down to absolute driver error, then
12:36
it's not good for his prospects
12:38
for the future. Of course, the
12:40
colopinto rumor mill will continue on,
12:42
I'm sure. But yes, we move on
12:45
now to a question from Illinois' 87.
12:47
Were the commentators too nice when saying
12:49
that Dewin's crash wasn't driver error? He
12:51
didn't close his DRS. Obviously we've touched
12:54
upon this, but I think that
12:56
it's not necessarily being too
12:58
nice as commentators. I can
13:00
understand if there's not a
13:02
logical explanation right there to describe, then
13:04
they have to kind of play slightly
13:07
cautious. We can be a little bit
13:09
more, well I think it was this.
13:11
But realistically commentators are supposed to say
13:13
what they see and then analyze the facts
13:15
and the camera angles weren't ideal. We
13:17
kind of needed a rear view facing
13:19
camera of Duans on board and then would
13:22
be able to tell immediately what happened. I
13:24
know some people might be saying the DRS
13:26
was closed but by the time we could
13:28
actually see it he was already losing the
13:30
car and that's probably where we were
13:32
just going on that green light thing
13:34
weren't we on the steering wheel which
13:36
supposedly means that it's open and he's
13:39
turning at that point. I'm sure. Maybe Formula
13:41
One and Julian Palmer has more
13:43
angles and things because we know that
13:45
F1 TV go into a lot more
13:47
detail and can analyze it. The sky
13:49
don't obviously get to do that until
13:51
maybe after the session where they can get
13:53
on the sky pad and do things like that.
13:56
So like you say, they can't wildly speculate
13:58
and go, oh, you know, you might... you know if
14:00
it wasn't driver error and they
14:03
were like oh jet duen what
14:05
a mistake he's in the bin
14:07
get get colopinto in and they
14:09
can't they can't do that no
14:12
they can't next question people on
14:14
patrie remember Fraser what's going on
14:16
with Alonzo well look as a
14:18
number two driver Asta Martin Fernando
14:21
Alonzo he's just building into his
14:23
rookie season look it's going from
14:25
bad to worse for Alonzo so
14:27
far this year As in, well,
14:30
to be fair, it's just been
14:32
worse. There's been no good moments
14:34
to speak of a Fernando's season
14:36
and I thought, well, all he
14:39
has to do is finish in
14:41
Japan and I've got a big,
14:43
well, a good surprise locked in
14:45
and can't even finish free practice
14:48
too, Tommy. So... And that is
14:50
finished. Look, it was actually quite
14:52
an uncharacteristic error for Fernando Alonzo,
14:54
just literally... not understanding the specifications
14:57
and width of his car. That
14:59
is a genuine driver error dipping
15:01
a wheel into the grass and
15:03
then going off at Degnar 1.
15:06
It is uncharacteristic and I wouldn't
15:08
expect that from Fernando Alonzo of
15:10
all drivers and I'm not going
15:12
to throw it out just yet
15:15
but of course he is the
15:17
oldest driver on the grid. He
15:19
is fighting science and nature as
15:21
the week's pass. Tommy is getting
15:24
too old. He's probably just dreaming
15:26
of driving that old 2005 Renno
15:28
and thought it was a lot
15:30
of a smaller car than a
15:33
car and dipped a wheel. I
15:35
think it's just, until we kind
15:37
of see it in the race
15:39
where he makes an error, it's
15:42
a load of rubbish. Yes, he
15:44
spun off. It doesn't look great.
15:46
But his kind of season has
15:48
been so overexaturated with, oh, he's
15:51
absolutely washed, you know, he's been
15:53
ahead of stroll. when he's retired
15:55
in both the races. one less
15:57
so his his kind of error
16:00
and one definitely not his error
16:02
with just to come mechanical failure
16:04
you know it was quicker than
16:06
stroll in both sessions so sounds
16:09
like a lot of copium over
16:11
there to i just think it's
16:13
absolutely ridiculous to be like people
16:15
are just you know he's he's
16:18
spun off in a free practice
16:20
session and suddenly he's you know
16:22
43 and he's go to the
16:24
retirement home like no just no
16:27
No, I know. I'm only poking
16:29
fun when I say he's too
16:31
old. I know you're only guessing,
16:33
but people do genuinely believe it
16:36
and that is a later revision.
16:38
Yeah, let's, let's assess going into
16:40
qualifying in the race where it
16:42
really matters when Finland Olonzo out
16:44
qualifies Lounstrol and is running in
16:47
the points, then his engine blows
16:49
up or something. But, but they're
16:51
kind of jumping on the fact
16:53
that, you know. Until Lance Stroll
16:56
is just out qualifying Alonzo and
16:58
beating him every single weekend, then
17:00
I will, I say happily, unhappily
17:02
admit that maybe his time has
17:05
passed, but until then he's not
17:07
the case. Yeah, Stroll out scores
17:09
him this season, even with these
17:11

Breaking news and this one
17:25
is almost unbelievable. Yeah, it's
17:27
all about new customers at
17:29
Bet 365 because they get
17:31
$150 in bonus bets when
17:33
they bet $5 win or
17:35
lose. And even better bonus
17:37
bets can be used on the
17:40
spread, totals, and player props.
17:42
There you have it. Bet $5
17:44
to get $150 in bonus
17:46
bets. Win or lose. And
17:48
see why, it's never ordinary at
17:50

18:25
Are grass fires common
18:27
enough that they should
18:29
try to do something
18:31
to prevent them on dry circuits?
18:34
Well, this is the second time
18:36
I believe, the first being China
18:38
last year where they had a
18:40
little grass fire. This one was
18:43
definitely more visually shocking,
18:45
especially the second grass
18:47
fire that was spreading
18:49
quite drastically. They used, and
18:51
this is from what Sky said, a
18:53
chemical last year to try and combat
18:56
the problems of the floor rubbing against
18:58
the track and therefore causing sparks, and
19:00
then with it being windy as well,
19:02
it would then push the sparks onto
19:04
the grass and of course cause fires.
19:07
So they're going to have to do
19:09
something for sure, otherwise... we could get
19:11
red flags in the race, we could
19:13
get red flags in qualifying tomorrow and
19:16
that's not what we want. Drivers are
19:18
struggling out there enough as it is,
19:20
let alone having grass fires as well.
19:22
So yeah, they'll be working hard, the
19:24
FIA, Formula One, they'll come up with
19:26
a solution to this, I'm sure, they're not
19:28
just going to leave it and go, well,
19:31
hopefully tomorrow it's better, or Sunday of course
19:33
there's going to be a bit of rain
19:35
which will help in the morning, whether that
19:37
will then translate into a translate into a
19:40
race session. we will wait and see but
19:42
they will they'll figure out. They will figure
19:44
it out and it always seems to happen you
19:46
know it happened in China in a
19:48
practice session and it's better that it happens
19:50
in a practice session than halfway through
19:52
the Grand Prix and then they go oh
19:55
no we've not prepared for this and then
19:57
it keeps happening because can you imagine this
19:59
happening? during the race when
20:01
they're not prepared for it and
20:04
then it keeps happening every 20
20:06
minutes or something. So that's kind
20:09
of, they can consider themselves lucky
20:11
really that it's happened in practice
20:13
and they can probably do something
20:16
about it. Absolutely. Next question, James
20:18
BCFCF1. So when is Maxa Stapp
20:21
and getting promoted to V-Carp? Well,
20:23
as we're into free practice too,
20:25
let's just read up the top
20:28
five. Pia Street, Norris, Hadjar, Hamilton
20:30
Lawson, Vstappen was in 8th, Sonoda
20:33
in 18th, as we sort of
20:35
touched upon earlier. Sonoda didn't do
20:37
a soft tire run. Don't know
20:40
why. Don't know why they decided
20:42
to just leave him on a
20:44
two and a half second, a
20:47
lap slower time. I would have
20:49
loved to have seen a soft
20:52
tire run from Yuki. But it's...
20:54
rather concerning if you're your red
20:56
bull and Did I expect the
20:59
racing balls to be that high
21:01
up? Absolutely not It's I can't
21:04
see it happening from so many
21:06
even just from a PR perspective
21:08
from Red Bull. Like if they
21:11
genuinely even, they can't do that.
21:13
They just can't. It just would
21:16
not work as much as we
21:18
joke about it. I cannot see
21:20
a world unless racing bulls are
21:23
quite literally half a second a
21:25
lap cleared down the road where
21:27
this happens. It's close. It's a
21:30
tenth between Vastapen and then Lawson
21:32
Hadjar ahead. It's not complete panic
21:35
stations at the moment. But racing
21:37
balls have got a pretty decent
21:39
package by the looks of things.
21:42
They've got a very, very decent
21:44
package. I mean, Hadjar was what,
21:47
two tenths off the stappen in
21:49
qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix.
21:51
We've now gone into another track
21:54
where, yeah, you need a lot
21:56
of down force and the Red
21:59
Bull is clearly... struggling, we saw
22:01
Vistapin, I think, at the end
22:03
of the session, just fighting the
22:05
car like he was on a
22:08
wet track, almost. It was quite
22:10
insane to watch. And I don't
22:12
think, you know, it would be
22:14
absolutely ludicrous in all the crazy
22:17
decisions that Red Bull have
22:19
done, that this one would be
22:21
the most ridiculous of them all.
22:23
I don't see any way it
22:25
could, or could ever happen. They've
22:28
of course have that luxury
22:30
that they've got two teams,
22:32
but it would just be so
22:34
embarrassing. They need to sort
22:37
their problems out there
22:39
because it does not look great
22:41
at all. I think that is more
22:43
of a kick in the face, the fact
22:45
that, yes, Red Bull are nowhere
22:48
near what they were last year,
22:50
but even more of a kick
22:52
in the face that the V-carb is.
22:55
seemingly so quick and looks
22:57
so good and of course you
23:00
know that that team based in
23:02
Italy don't have the same
23:04
kind of budgets and stuff yes
23:06
they have a lot of the
23:08
you know what they can learn from
23:11
each other legally but it's
23:13
not it's not a good look
23:15
for a red ball at all
23:17
and and racing balls look rapid.
23:19
I know it's only practice
23:21
but they really do look very
23:24
quick. So for those of you
23:26
wondering, as much as we say,
23:28
I don't think it's going to
23:30
happen, Max surely isn't going to
23:32
go to racing bulls if they
23:35
generally are quicker. They can make
23:37
that switch. There's nothing to stop
23:39
them from doing that. We've seen
23:41
it with Lawson and Sonoda. Max
23:43
could... Oh God, that would... Can
23:45
you imagine the controversy
23:47
though? Yeah. Because realistically,
23:50
you think how much controversy...
23:52
Daniel Ricardo doing a fastest lap
23:54
to take it off Norris at the
23:56
end of last year was in the
23:58
sister team. Can you imagine? if they
24:00
put Max in that V-carb while it's
24:02
really quick and he does a really
24:04
good job and then they switch him
24:07
back as soon as they sort their
24:09
car troubles out that would I know
24:11
it's so unlikely to happen but imagine
24:13
the controversy about it that would open
24:15
up a whole new level of this
24:17
kind of should a company have two
24:20
teams in formula one that would open
24:22
up a whole new thing that we
24:24
never possibly could have expected. Can you
24:26
imagine like going into a race weekend
24:28
so which team is Max gonna drive
24:30
for? That's one of our predictions for
24:33
the race weekend coming up. There's nothing
24:35
to stop them doing it even after
24:37
a practice session right? I would not
24:39
be surprised. There's part of me that's
24:41
like would it or wouldn't it where
24:43
Max goes just put me in put
24:46
me in for FP1. Let me let
24:48
me have a let me have a
24:50
taste of this. Let me see... what
24:52
this racing ball is saying. I'm surprised
24:54
he's not... I'd get him to Faienza
24:56
and get on the sim and have
24:59
a go and see if you see
25:01
what his lap times are compared to
25:03
the others because he might be like
25:05
whoa guys you have a championship winning
25:07
car can I have it please? I
25:09
would be surprised if he hasn't already
25:12
had a go to be honest. It
25:14
is Max he loves his simulators anyway.
25:16
I'm sure he's very interested to know
25:18
what that racing balls has to offer.
25:20
But then, you know, as much as
25:22
we joke and we say, how could
25:25
he go to the racing balls, etc.,
25:27
etc., etc. If Max then jumps out
25:29
of that red ball, it's basically just
25:31
signing, sealing and delivering a very poor
25:33
season for that car over at Red
25:35
Ball, just purely because they need Max
25:37
to help develop it. And if he
25:40
jogs on to the other team... they're
25:42
just going to go back and it's
25:44
already developed in his direction as well
25:46
for them for them to then for
25:48
him then to ditch it and go
25:50
I like this car but now it's
25:53
gone a bit too far good luck
25:55
Yuki and Liam oh exactly and and
25:57
if I mean would just living in
25:59
a dream world right now, but then
26:01
if Max goes to V-Carb, did they
26:03
then rebrand back to Red Bull? So
26:06
the V-Carb is Red Bull racing again
26:08
and they just take the... Oh God,
26:10
I mean that would be a world
26:12
that literally would not exist, but it's
26:14
quite fun to think about all the
26:16
same. Let's now also touch upon the
26:19
fact that it was a McLaren One
26:21
Two, Piastri ahead of Norris, they were
26:23
going... a lot quicker than what those 28
26:25
ones suggest as well. I do wonder
26:27
if they were using their tires at
26:29
a different point in the track because
26:31
I think Piastrian Norris were both about
26:33
three tenths up or at least Lando
26:35
was three tenths up through the middle
26:37
sector ended up not improving or at
26:39
least not beating Piastri at the end
26:41
in this final sector. It's it's
26:44
close to what you were predicting Tommy
26:46
coming into this of course You know
26:48
you you said half a second clear
26:51
of the rest of the pack I
26:53
am not convinced that Hadjar is genuinely
26:55
the third fastest car out there Because
26:58
look for I haven't shown their hand
27:00
they they are low low low power
27:02
engine modes from what I've been told
27:05
by my delusional brain But McLaren do
27:07
look genuinely unstoppable but they have to
27:09
deliver and that's something that's
27:11
something that consistently
27:14
over a 24 race season, they need to
27:16
do for the first time. And... Sure
27:18
do. Oscar looked like he was a
27:20
little bit further back than Lando, but
27:22
then put that lap in at the
27:24
end. I'd love to see a half
27:26
a tenth separate the two of them at
27:29
the front, but they do generally have
27:31
the best package at the moment.
27:33
So shout out to Lights Out blog
27:35
who combined this of basically the
27:38
perfect sectors that they did
27:40
through... through everything to show like
27:42
an ideal lap from the
27:44
practice sessions. Norris would be
27:47
first, pastry three tenths off
27:49
and then LeCler in third, six
27:51
and a half tenths off. Yeah,
27:53
relaxed. That McLaren looks very
27:55
good, but as we know, it's
27:58
just the driver line up. I'm not
28:00
sure. But they have a handful
28:02
of tents in the locker to
28:04
have an army on you. But
28:06
yeah, I think that with the
28:09
sectors, I am convinced that they
28:11
were just using their tires in
28:13
a different part of the track,
28:15
whether those optimal sectors is actually
28:17
something that they can deliver on.
28:19
I'm not sure. But they have
28:21
a handful of tents in the
28:23
locker to play with. And that
28:26
is it. That is our Friday
28:28
wrap-up done and dusted. We will
28:30
see you tomorrow where we will
28:32
be live on YouTube and Twitch,
28:34
as always, to stream qualifying. I'll
28:36
watch along over on there. Come
28:38
and join us if you haven't
28:40
before. Tommy, what are your final
28:43
thoughts? Bring on qualifying. Is that
28:45
three words? No, because Suzuki is
28:47
just a bang in track for
28:49
qualifying. It's so high speed, watching
28:51
Formula One cars. It's not the
28:53
best. track for overtaking and in
28:55
the race but qualifying is just
28:57
mega so can't wait for it.
29:00
God you love a quality but
29:02
can't overtake race don't yes it's
29:04
monocone me up but yeah it
29:06
is awesome looking forward to that
29:08
7am UK time and we'll be
29:10
live about half an hour prior
29:12
to qualifying starting and we will
29:14
see very soon plus love take
29:17
care bye All of our chores.
29:19
Go get some medicine, apparently. Go
29:21
get some meds. What are you
29:23
going to be popping? What pills
29:25
are you going to be popping,
29:27
Tommy? Some cow pole. Cold and
29:29
flute tablets, I'm on. The main
29:31
mall what I throw back that
29:34
used to just be an absolute
29:36
bang and drink didn't it? It
29:38
is. It's literally a grace. Medicine
29:40
grace cow pole and it's like
29:42

29:46
a little bit ill didn't you
29:48

29:51
pole? Mom I think I need
29:53
another spoonful of cow pole. Anyway
29:55

29:57
of love sweet dreams. God Tommy
