Aerodynamics is about how the car cuts through the air. If you shape it well (and add things like a wing), it can be faster and stick better to the road.
“Toto” is Toto Wolff, the main leader of Mercedes in Formula 1. The host is joking that he was really nervous because the situation on track got intense and could affect the team.
“George” here is George Russell, a Formula 1 driver. The hosts are talking about how tense team situations get when he’s involved in a risky moment on track.
The “self-destruct button” is a joke about the team giving up on the car when something goes badly wrong. It means they stop the car to avoid making the problem worse or risking safety.
“Engine meltdown” means the engine is failing in a really severe way, usually from extreme overheating or damage. In a race, that’s the kind of problem where the team would stop the car right away.
Term
cannonballed his car
“Cannonballed his car” is a dramatic phrase meaning he basically went for it recklessly to end the situation fast. The hosts are saying people thought he chose to crash/retire rather than keep going.
“Kimmy” is the nickname of a Formula 1 driver they’re predicting will become a big star. They’re discussing his streak of wins and how he’s doing well early in his career.
A “junior team” is like a training team for up-and-coming drivers. It’s where young racers build experience before they get promoted to the main teams.
Term
big leagues
“Big leagues” just means the highest level of competition. Here, they’re saying why bring a young driver to Formula 1’s top tier right away.
Tracks are divided into sections for timing. The “first sector” is the first chunk of the lap, and comparing those times shows where a driver is making up time.
Term
Q2
F1 qualifying is split into parts (Q1, Q2, Q3). Q2 is the middle part where drivers try to post a fast lap so they can move on to the final part.
Term
Q3
Q3 is the last and most important part of F1 qualifying. The quickest drivers go out for their best laps to determine who starts first.
Downforce is the “grip from the air” that presses the car down onto the road. If a car has too little downforce, it can feel unstable and harder to keep planted through turns.
The rear wing is an aerodynamic part on the back of an F1 car. It helps create grip and stability by pushing the car down, and different teams use different wing shapes.
“Technical changes” means engineering updates to the race car, like tweaks to aero parts. In F1, tiny changes can still make the car feel very different.
A diffuser is a part under a race car that helps the air flow in a way that pushes the car down onto the track. That extra “grip” helps the car stay stable and corner better.
The halo is the protective frame around the driver’s head in modern F1 cars. It’s there to help protect the driver, and it can also change how air flows around the car.
Alpine is another F1 team. They’re being credited with starting an idea that other teams then adopted.
Concept
rule of death tape
This sounds like a joke about strict rules and markings in racing. The point is that small placement mistakes can cause big problems, so teams try to be extremely precise.
Charles Leclerc is a Formula 1 driver known for his speed and qualifying performances. The hosts say they feel bad for him because he was “on it” and had a strong last lap attempt.
Suspension is what helps the tires stay in contact with the road and smooths out bumps. On a race track, it also affects how the car turns and how stable it feels.
The Monaco Grand Prix is a Formula 1 race on city streets in Monaco. The track is super tight with walls very close to the cars, so it’s easy to hit the barriers if you’re even slightly off.
The front wing is the part on the front of a race car that helps it stick to the road by using air. If you hit it or damage it, the car can feel unstable and harder to control.
The FIA is the organization that runs the rules for major auto racing, including Formula 1. When people talk about “the FIA” changing or enforcing regulations, they mean this group.
The Canadian Grand Prix is one of the big Formula 1 races. Drivers race on a famous track in Canada, and it’s known for being challenging and sometimes unpredictable.
Qualifying is when drivers try to set their best lap time to decide who starts where in the race. If you qualify well, you usually have a better chance to finish near the front.
Person
piastry
“Piastry” is the driver name the hosts are talking about. They’re saying their prediction for where that driver would finish was close, but not exactly right.
Person
Oster
“Oster” is another driver name the hosts mention while talking about their predictions. They’re saying their expected outcome for that driver wasn’t quite right.
“Lando” is the name the hosts use for a Formula 1 driver. They’re discussing how that driver’s result fit into their podium prediction.
Person
Lynn Blad
“Lynn Blad” is the driver name the hosts are talking about. They’re discussing whether that driver finished high enough to score points, and they mention the finishing spot as 14th.
Person
Hokenberg
“Hokenberg” is the driver name the hosts are talking about. They say that driver had a DNF, which means they didn’t finish the race, so they couldn’t score points.
“Charles” is another driver name the hosts mention while talking about who might finish near the front. They’re basically listing their expected top results.
LIVE
We're on so let's figure it out. Welcome to the cool down
lap podcast episode number something between 10 and 15
because it's been a while life happened and we had to take
almost a month and a half or two months off while life settled
on both our friends but we're back at it today. Sadly having
missed Miami and Canada home race but we're back at it now
for Monaco. It's so sad we didn't make predictions for our
home race. We were just so caught up with life but you
know what unfair we had the Canadian Air Force the Canadian
Geese giving us the Intel we would have been you know bedding
on a rigged race at that point. We were actually on our
conference call with Mohammed Bessolium and Mark Carney and
we were discussing what the outcome was going to be and we
couldn't actually have a podcast because we signed some
you know predictions non-disclosures that couldn't in good
conscious but those just those predictions through what have
ruined our odds for everybody. Yeah yeah for sure but that
we're back we're back and we got we got a lot to catch up on
first off check out my new flag. Yeah but check out your new
hat you're getting closer and closer to jumping ship. Listen
who you're cheering for on this bandwagon for this year.
I am not jumping ship. I'm telling you as in Martin is it
taking time bomb and when the bomb goes off it's going to be
chaos for every other team. All right then there'll be a 9th
place not 11th place.
Yo they're going to be fine bro they're going to be fine but
this hat is actually for my summer car. Okay I saw it and
I'm like it'd be fun to wear a Mercedes hat and a Mercedes
because I can't afford an Aston Martin unfortunately they're
a little pricey.
That's why I drive Toyotas.
Dude with a new forerunner man congrats. We've got the whole
family now we have the Corolla the RAV4 and the forerunners
we have a small medium large depending on what we want to
do during the day.
And we're going to make it more aerodynamic we're actually
discussing with Adrian Newey we're going to attach a wing to
it.
Gira is already ahead of the game going to the V8 ditching
the V6 hybrid.
We're going to the new regulations years in advance
and we're starting our aerodynamic upgrades in 2026 in
preparation for the V8s coming back.
He's already ordered his Toyota Gazoo Racing sticker you
know.
For my cinder block that I get to drive down the street and
take from gas station to gas station in the pursuit of outdoor
activities.
Oh man but I mean hey listen.
This this in your car's defense if Kimi Antonelli had your
forerunner and the Canadian Grand Prix he might have been
fine with how he was running through the grass.
He would have done less grass clipping that's for sure.
You would have put on a few seconds on the grass.
I'd have said I would have caught up and out slowed down.
Yeah dude that was wild watching those two go at it both in
the sprint race I mean and in the regular race like that was
coming as close to Tota Wolf running out on track and giving
them both a spanking for bad behavior as it could have
possibly gotten.
And I think there is a lot of people quite worried about how
that was going to play out and so George's car finally cannon
bald and calmed everything down for everybody.
Yeah I mean you know we saw it initially with these new
regulations when the Ferraris were going at it.
I think that was China when Leclerc and Hamilton were kind
of doing the yo-yo racing and then I think this was like a
whole nother level like the sprint race obviously Kimi and
George were going at it.
You could see Kimi losing his patience and driving angry at a
certain point.
I think he had a little bit of an edge on one of the turns
but he was kind of pushed off by George and he's kind of a
loss it from there.
He showed his age you know I mean but then coming to the
race it seemed like he just collected that and man he just
said changed overnight and the next race it was just such
competitive racing between the two of them and it was so close.
Yeah you're right.
Toto you know Gunter actually in one of the podcast was like
Toto is shitting himself.
He's like Toto's pants were brown.
I'm sure he is wearing his brown pants man like that that got
heated and you know when you as a team boss are watching that
especially with your future golden boy and you know someone
like George who has shown that he's willing to potentially
crash to make it happen and certainly would put a team boss
at ease especially one who's already dealt with Lewis Hamilton
and Nico Rosberg in the past right so he's probably having
some post-traumatic team orders.
Oh for sure yeah but luckily they didn't come to it until
Toto hit the self-destruct button on George's car and put
an end to it all.
Just put it just like a turn off just like okay engine meltdown
now.
Yeah out of respect there's that was the running theory for
at least 30 seconds was that he just cannonballed his car
and said that's it we're done.
Thanks to to the great joy of many a George hater online as
well as the entire Red Bull social media team when they
saw him throw his headrest out all over the track and stop
around.
Yeah yeah honestly what's your take on this the FIA like
I gave him shit find him but bro like it's a sport why take
the emotion out of the sport.
I just think that was a little rough.
I mean it goes back to I think it was Lewis and Sebastian
Vettel at one point because someone was telling Lewis that
he was being all angry and emotional on the radio and
Sebastian's like well what do you do put mics on soccer
players or football players and assume that they're never
going to get angry and say shit like the sport you got to let
people enjoy the sport and show emotion and you know draw us
in with some amount of reality not just you know an assumption
that everyone's going to be polite the whole time.
Yeah yeah for sure.
I mean F1 we've seen the extra ease of what the drivers can do
like I think there's been you know in the past like even with
the marshals have gotten in fights with marshals like with
each other there's one that comes up off the top my head like
max pushing and shoving like Esteban you know things like
that happen and I mean that's any sport though that is certainly
never played a lacrosse game and had someone like crush me from
behind into the boards and got up and been like oh shucks that
was unpleasant.
Clock the guy or swear at him at least or not like darn that
didn't quite go my way.
Yeah I'll try again next week and think about it Garrett like
lacrosse is dangerous like any contact sport is dangerous but
this is like life or death dangerous.
This is like you you push someone off into a wall dangerous
not like oh no I got a bruise on my arm.
You're going to kill someone dangerous.
So the stakes are just a tiny bit higher as much as yeah
lacrosse it's tough but this is like yeah you're going to kill
someone tough.
And to the tune of like a difference between you know 25
and 0 points that's millions of dollars that they potentially
lose on a year so yeah there's high stakes and showing some
emotion I think is pretty real and I think if the FAA wants
this board to be popular they need to show some emotion not
just a bunch of you know well well mannered netball babies
driving around in circles they want to see angry netball babies
yeah their true colors.
Yeah they want to see athletes they want to see emotion they
want to see raw uncut like truth behind it like I think things
are just too like it's tailored a certain way to like please
the media and like they're trying to please everybody of
ever every age but it's not like you take you know five
year olds to cage fights and assume that they're going to
not hear swear words or see blood or see violence you just
yeah maybe make it so it's a sport that doesn't tailor
itself to five year olds and 45 year olds you pick a demographic
and stick to it.
Yeah yeah people enjoy the sport and the way that it is not
a way that you make it seem like it is for TV.
Well if you think about it here like think about the first few
seasons of Drive to Survive and then towards the end like
didn't this seem like towards the end it was like so like old
Netflix they're coming in like you know and it was like so it
was just so like scripted or so like it's like as if they it
was meant to be there whereas in the beginning it's like yo
fuck off Netflix like we don't want to hear like get the hell
out of here and they're like trying to play like a you know
a mic to the wall kind of you know just kind of get the
glimpse of what's going on inside.
Yeah I mean drivers and teams started to show up more polished
because they knew that if they ran around yelling and swearing
and pushing people that it would be on TV and shed positive
or negative light on them and so they I think become more
polished as that stuff's around longer whereas the first few
seasons of any TV show like that of the first big media outburst
you'll see people being a heck of a lot more genuine to what
they how they would show up.
Yeah yeah yeah no it is what it is but we just want the
entertainment back we want George throwing his headrest
we want to see had your banging his helmet we want to see the
emotion bring it back please flashing out with.
What was it the Red Bull social media team said with borderline
something something or something and whatever.
Wait what you didn't see that so you know how when George
shit on Max a while ago he's like every time he doesn't get
his way lashes out with borderline violence and whatever.
Yeah and so when George threw his headrest out of the car
Red Bull social media account commented on like the stewards
investigation with like borderline whatever whatever as their
tagline and like it got so much traction on it right after
that race that's so funny no I didn't even see that I missed
that but yeah it was their social media team commenting on
the like George Russell being you know investigated for bad
behavior essentially yeah yeah no gotta give it to their social
media team Red Bull and Mercedes their social media team has
been on it Mercedes those Kimmy pranks are something I live
for these days like a prank next what's what's gonna happen.
He's going hard yeah on the track as well as in the garage
throwing pies in people's faces yeah for sure I mean he threw
a pie in George's face because he's way ahead now.
Yeah right and this kid I mean recapping a little bit he's on
he's going for his fifth win in a row this weekend from first
win to potentially 5 in a row is pretty outstanding and I mean
knock on some wood somewhere but if he keeps this track record
going maybe he rivals Max by the end of the year it's a long
way to go.
What do you mean he rivals Max in terms of his like wins.
His number of wins in a row right now he's gonna usurp Lewis
Lewis is the longest ever win streak was 5 Kimmy is going
for 5 this weekend starting on pole and Max did what 10 in a
row so yeah yeah the season is still young the opportunity is
there.
He's now
going to start a huge legacy for himself we'll see how far
he gets without him one season but they gave him the car to
do it if you can.
Yeah do you do you think with Kimmy doing it in his second
season is that itself is significant like I think he's
gonna he's going to be the next big thing for sure but like
man how how happy must Toto be with with this season and his
performance and like everything that you know he did to make
it happen essentially.
A hundred percent like what was his first was I can't remember
when he won his first race this season but as you cross the
line Toto's quote to him is basically like he's too young
he's too inexperienced they should put him in a junior
team why would anyone bring him to the big leagues anyway look
at you first podium at a kid like let them underestimate you
watch him watch him regret it.
Oh yeah and and now Monaco Grand Prix pole position Kimmy
Antonelli like and and almost Max for seven almost how good
was that the qualifying like it was close I thought Max had it
Max I think you and I were messing each other Max in the
first sector he was like plus like two hundredth of a second
and worse like holy he's flying.
Yeah dude like Max at the time and he's like two tenths ahead
of Lewis and third and then Kimmy comes through and beats him
by like four hundredth of a second or something like that
was crazy yeah you're right he was two tenths so he's he was
quick yeah he came through and it was like oh that's dramatically
faster than anybody else when it wasn't like oh he just eaked
it out by a thousand he was two tenths ahead of everyone else
oh yeah it's like a huge jump from he said a 112.499 in Q2
and then he said a 112.094 in his Q3 last lap and Kimmy made
a similar jump from 112.7 to 112.051.
Yeah he was like four hundredth of a second ahead yeah like
that was that was close and there was like another one where
I think Hamilton or someone got a thousandth of a second ahead
who was it was a I forgot who it was but all of these numbers
were coming out I'm like damn damn it's just like one after
the other yeah and it was like it was a difference between hundreds
and thousands of a second and then Max did two tenths and then
Kimmy did two tenths plus four hundredths of a second there
it is so now you get the golden boy in P1 and you've got the t-rex
in P2 with the two Ferraris in P3, P4 that's gonna be a spicy
turn one tomorrow.
It's gonna be fun it's but talking about Ferrari
and obviously we've been talking about Ferrari a lot P2, P4
and now even like you know you know P3 and P4 in in Monaco
they're really they're really stepping it up they're they're
contending how do you feel about Ferrari with with everything
they've been doing.
I'm curious to see how they keep up with development I think
they brought a winning card of the start of the season mainly
because they launched super well and I think that they gave
themselves a nice head start on everyone it'll be curious to
see whether they develop and are able to follow Red Bull in
Mercedes through or if they die off for the second half of
the season because I think we've seen them show up and kick
ass early on but you know Red Bulls climb back Mercedes is
you can out the front.
I'm interested to see what it looks like by the 20th race
as opposed to the fifth race.
Do you think Ferrari will win a race before the summer the
summer break?
No I don't think the winner I don't think they'll win a race
they haven't won one yet but I don't want to race this entire
season I think they'll be like second and third fiddle the
entire time.
I don't know I feel like the way they're
contending they they're they're working towards it I think
they're they're creeping up.
I think they might through catastrophic levels of luck.
Yeah I mean there has to be luck involved but it seems like
they're they're they're building their team to get lucky
like it's getting better and better they the the team is
like even Hamilton like he's been performing way better and
and I'm happy for him.
I am happy for him like you know Kim Kardashian was in in
the in the paddock today and he he put it in in the front row
you know.
He's not front row he's second row second row sorry second
row but you know he's he's there he's there in turn one you
know so he's not in P 18.
Yeah he's not P 18 exactly so I don't know Ferrari is I think
they'll they'll sneak in a win I think they'll sneak in a win
this this year and we'll see well yeah we'll see we'll see
I think their strategy department though has wildly usurped
that of McLaren at very least McLaren in Canada who put up
the most bizarre strategy we've seen in a long time leaning
too heavily on their Google AI platform to decide when to be
on slicks versus when to be on inters.
I called I called Zach I told him put some studded tires on
because can I was going to snow.
I told him that I put some chains on back to set up the
Sabbath McLaren sabotage.
Yeah we were we're not the biggest McLaren fans as you can
tell about telling you know telling Zach to put chains on
his F1 car didn't really work out for him but yeah you know
they are they are known for their development they're not
known for their obviously strategic calls but they're
developing their they're the only other race winners right
they won a sprint race and if anyone has a chance to put it
up against Mercedes it's it's got to be McLaren you know with
the same engine and their development and the rate that
they're they they've also been you know growing up but they
were no no nowhere to be really seen in Monaco I feel like
they they were putting it up and then they
kind of just fell off.
I'm not too sure if their car was you know lacking downforce
but it seemed like it was it was just a little sloppy through
through some of the turns when I was like watching their
onboard it seemed like they were having difficulties like
keeping it on track and just don't have that weird ass rear
wing looks so much less sophisticated than the one
that Mercedes or Red Bull showed up with what you mean that
the wing squared the wing on the wing.
Yeah the wing on the wing.
McLaren was like oh shit everyone else brought a really cool
thing let's just like stack some some things on there and hope
for the best dude that wing on the wings look they look pretty
cool I'm not gonna lie.
I think Mercedes and Red Bulls look cool.
I think McLaren's look like they you know forgot their math
homework and decided to do it in the hallway before yeah
they're like oh shit they're doing it.
We got to do it to spare parts do we have just just glue it
to put it together right now.
Let me see if I can I can actually find the McLaren wing
but yeah those I mean that's how delicate I guess technical
they're they're making it where it's it's coming down to that
point with these cars now the tiniest kind of changes to
the car tiniest changes to the wing.
I think they put like even like a few races go out like a
small diffuser in front of the the actual the windshield like
the the beside the halo they did right and then they got
tie bossed on it like immediately they immediately pulled
it off.
Yeah they're very was like no you can't do that fair okay I
didn't know I didn't know they pulled it off that quick.
I think they may have come back with a more sophisticated
version but the first one where they showed up with like
clear plexiglass they'd be like yeah it's not that's not in
the spirit of what we told you to do.
Yeah fair fair but yeah those are the the wings on top of the
wings.
Yeah I can see when McLaren you're what you're saying now
with the looks like they found a weather vane on the side of
the track and went that's kind of close to what Mercedes did
let's pop it on there and hope for the best.
Yeah yeah and then Red Bull brought their their pet dog and
they put it on there.
Where's where's Red Bulls I don't know if we could see Red
Bulls but yeah I mean go into that post yeah
what does it not oh it doesn't slide no it isn't slide yeah
yeah I know Red Bull brought one as well I think they were
actually mimicking I think Alpine that initially brought it
on and everyone kind of like took their idea and started
implementing it from Alpine so I know they were like the
initial teams to do it.
Yeah but while we're here can we just admire this I put this
on my story just because this was like the you know all those
videos of people putting like filling containers just like
perfectly or like yeah you know the water bottle and putting
it directly in the middle of the rule of death tape like
man decision is is the game here and and I feel so bad for
Leclerc because like he was he was on it I felt like he was
like he had his elbows up and to the point where his last lap
he threw it in the wall but that is just pure beauty perfection
you know frequently I'd crash my car if I tried to corner like
that while driving around the city.
Not just you Bordoletto man and he's a professional racer
he took out his suspension so fun fact I was doing
the Monaco Grand Prix on F 125 and out of the 78 laps I probably
hit in the wall 78 times so it's not an easy track to do if
you bend it 78 times I would have been to 178 times so my
driving ability around Monaco for sure that that two hour
race took me two days I've been pausing and playing too much
focus yeah every lap is a pit pit pit that's my front wing
try again that's my other front wing try again suspension
try again just gotta keep going but yeah Leclerc unfortunate
starting P for tomorrow I was really hoping that he'd pull
through is actually one of my predictions which we'll go
through now but yeah it is what it is before we get into
predictions what do we think of the current driver standings
with Kimmy out front with 131 points in his closest rival
being George with 88 the two Ferraris in the mid 70s and
then you know the two McLarens 5848 and Max down with 43
points well thank you for asking Dr Garrett not yet at the
hundred point deficit that will allow Max to make his Uber
come back this year but we're we're getting into that zone
where it seems like Kimmy's starting to run with it but
yeah happen anything could happen well if there's one thing
we know about Max is he doesn't give up all right Max isn't
give up and it seems like from the last few races he's finding
his footing with the car now and he's getting comfortable with
it which is yeah but literally summed it up that is summed
up the equation is that so yeah it's happening right like he
he's we were talking actually before we started this he still
doesn't like the regulations but you know instead of being
angry about it he's talking down upon the regulation of the
smile on his face which is also adding to the equation that
he's he's someone enjoying the racing he's enjoying the car
a little bit more he's enjoying obviously winning everyone
enjoys winning and doing better so I think more importantly
he's showing the FIA that like one he'll show up in race but
two he's showing that you know these F1 drivers that the FAA
think they have locked down if they want can go fuck around
and drive in another series and bring a huge spectacle anywhere
they go so I think the FAA where they were previously being
really inflexible with changing the rules to satisfy the
drivers yeah starting to realize oh we might lose these guys
and Katbash our sport if we don't start showing up to what
they're asking for and you know what Max made a very star
strong argument against the regulations what he said was
actually one of the reporters asked him he's like aren't you
enjoying the cars and the regulations now and what he had
to say was he's like no he's just like the racing is good but
the racing is always going to be good because we're the best
drivers in the world you give us go-karts any car
we'll give you entertainment we will make it entertaining right
but it takes away from the racing these cars are still
taking away from the racing you know and we we just want pure
true race cars back right so I think that was a very solid
argument like yeah they're always going to make it entertaining
I think the race is everyone's always going to be you know
entertaining people always going to watch but it really just
matters in terms of what the racing with and whether they
kind of can fully bring out the highest level of performance
out of what they're given what machinery they're given and
it's given better machinery it's only going to get that much
better right but yeah to answer your question I'm happy with
Kimmy if he wins the World Driver Championship I'll be happy
I've got my Mercedes hat when George is car blew up not going
to lie I may have celebrated a little bit.
I cured I stood up and went hell yeah yeah yeah I was like oh
yes I was I was happy that Kimmy won I was sad that the race
between them ended yeah so that just let us focus on Max and
Lewis and duking it out yeah yeah I mean that was good that
was that was a lot of fun I think they enjoyed it too bring
back 2021 baby yeah yeah it was not as quite not quite as
exciting as 2021 but it was it was nice to see them go at it
for sure do we have anything else to add on from I guess we
talked about Canadian Grand Prix we talked about Monaco the
qualifying races tomorrow we'll see what happens throw our
predictions in there and see what happens let's let's take a
look let's take a look we texted each other these right before
qualifying this morning yeah so I have the Miami Grand Prix
results here I'll put those up later our predictions and pretty
much what happened so we both nailed Kimmy and these are for
the main race we were talking about I was one off with
piastry and then I shut the bet on all of them yeah yeah I feel
it was at the right podium for for Miami Miami we had Kimmy
from Lando from Oster yeah okay yeah so a little bit off a
little bit off and then who did you have making the points you
had Lynn Blad who was 14th and I had Hokenberg who was a DNF
so yeah yeah let's not go there that was
a wah wah of a prediction but yeah fairly mute point as far as
the points are concerned with that one let's move on to Monaco
let's let's let's figure out there let's figure it out
yeah we texted these to each other earlier yeah who did you
have again
and I had I have Kimmy taken it from Leclerc with Max coming
up third
and honestly not a bad prediction with the way qualifying
went pretty solid and you've got Charles from Kimmy from
Lewis
not bad
not bad these and then I decided to shit on George Russell
and hope he bends it in the swimming pool yeah
and you you continued your hate for Landon Orris and said
of all the people who will predictively crash their car
he's up there so yeah yeah that's you and then you know both of
us through the wild card on who's going to score some points
you've got Sergio Perez which I think is pretty far-fetched
unless there's a narrowly safety car red flag that's not going
to happen I chose the slightly safer choice of Lindblad putting
some up there but where does he qualify I don't think it was
overly impressive I think he was like 15 or 16 yeah he's
15 so yeah that's you know not far off from where Sergio
starting and neither of us decided to touch Fernando or Lance
because we figured that was an impossibility since they're
basically starting in Canada.
He's he's starting on his yacht bro they're going to have to
pull the yacht in put the car off.
They're they're pulling a Kimmy Reichenan if they do that
do you remember that.
Yeah yeah yeah I was actually just talking about walk to his
yacht with a supermodel and went and had some drinks.
Classic Kimmy classic yeah yeah you know what's so funny is
I I just went through an Instagram post that was like going
through his iconic walk like they were like taking us through
his iconic walk to the yacht but hey Kimmy doesn't have a
300000000 dollar yacht like the strolls do so.
Maybe maybe one of the strolls pulls it off.
Who knows yeah yeah maybe but yeah we'll see what happens
tomorrow and I think that's that's that for her for her
part today.
See what we have to be up in the morning to watch this thing
6 a.m.
Oh yeah can't wait.
Yeah what a weekend what a weekend.
Been eventful so far and hopefully we get some excitement
around it out with a Grand Prix that is less processional
than I'm anticipating that it's going to be.
Yeah well hopefully hopefully we have some actions hopefully
hopefully we have some action we'll see we'll see tomorrow
only one way to find out.
Only one way to find out and we'll know if if they're still
in second gear going around the second lap if it's going to
be you know time to hop on the treadmill and get some exercise
while it happens or if it's going to be a race worth staying
on the edge of our seats or we shall see.
We'll figure it out but on that note let's sign off and we'll
see you guys again next week hopefully more consistently.
We'll be back with some more consistency last life happening
now so yeah we'll be back.
Sounds good alright we'll see you soon.
About this episode
Back from a break, the hosts explain why they missed making predictions for Miami and the Canadian home races, then dive into Monaco: qualifying gaps, Monaco’s wall-hitting punishment, and their projected podium order. They debate Ferrari’s development momentum versus Red Bull and Mercedes, plus McLaren’s Monaco aero and a bizarre Canadian tire/strategy call. The conversation broadens into F1’s on-track aggression, FIA policing, and how Drive to Survive changes driver/team polish.
The Canadian Grand Prix gave us plenty to talk about. From Alex Albon's ongoing battle with groundhogs to the growing rivalry between Kimi Antonelli and George Russell at Mercedes, Montreal delivered drama throughout the grid.
This week, we break down Ferrari's resurgence, Mercedes' fight at the front, and ask the big question: Is Max Verstappen truly back in championship form? We also discuss the latest storylines from McLaren, Red Bull, Aston Martin, and the rest of the paddock following an action-packed weekend in Canada.
With Monaco next on the calendar, we give our predictions for the most iconic race of the season. Can Ferrari continue their momentum? Will McLaren dominate the streets of Monte Carlo? And who do we see standing on the top step of the podium?
Join Canadian hosts Jogpaul Singh Dilgir and Dr. Garrett Bramall as they break down all the biggest stories, controversies, and predictions from the world of Formula 1.
