1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Good morning guys, Good morning, hey, massive year. How are

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: we feeling going into the last race of the season.

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: Very mixed feelings, excited, exhausted, everything in between.

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 3: Are you like right enough of this? Mum needs some sleep?

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: Yes, definitely.

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 3: How's your body clock going?

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: Because all of these races every weekend that are on

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: at midnight or one or two am. To get up

9
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: and watch them all?

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do, yep. And even if I, even if

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: I would want to sleep, I I will automatically wake

12
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 2: up with the time oscars on track.

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: It's like mother's intuition.

14
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: It is, it is, it's always but it's yeah, it's

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: always been like that. So my body clock has always

16
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: been messed up.

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: You know, for years, for years, And hey, we are

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: coming in to the race for the championship. Nicole Abu

19
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: Dhabi is on Sunday. There's three of them in contention.

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: Can you actually believe that you're sitting at home in

21
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: Melbourne and your son could be a Formula One champion?

22
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: Look, you know, in a way yes, and in another

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: way no. It's very surreal. But Oscar, when he sets

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: his mind to something, he goes for it. If anyone

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: can do it, Oscar can, but still it's kind of

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: hard to think back, you know, a few years ago

27
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: this was his dream just to be in an F

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: one car. So yes, it's a bizarre it's a bizarre

29
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: kind of juxtaposition.

30
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: Really well, it's bizarre, but I can tell just by

31
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 4: looking at you, Nicole, how bloody proud you are of

32
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 4: you boy.

33
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: I am, and I always say this, I'm incredibly proud

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 2: of Oscar, more so as a person than as a driver.

35
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: He just I think his loyalty, his integrity, his humility,

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: his determination has just shone through and I'm so thrilled

37
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: that the world gets to see the good person that

38
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: he is.

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 4: He's resilient as well, which which I've admired from Afar.

40
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of people have learned a

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 4: lot about your boy this year, and and I feel

42
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 4: proud as well, watching as a Melbournian, which is really cool.

43
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, thank you for saying that, Clinton. I've heard

44
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: that a lot, particularly this year. So many people have said,

45
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 2: you know, tell him we're proud of him. Make sure

46
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: he knows we're proud of him. And so when he facetimes,

47
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: I'll say, okay.

48
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: So you've got a list a list on the list.

49
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, tel Nie Die said Hi. Yeah.

50
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 2: Yeah. In the end, I just say, you know, I

51
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: just imagine everyone you've possibly could have ever met they

52
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: also to say they're proud of you, mate. It's so sweet.

53
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: I mean, he's still a kid.

54
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: He's twenty four years old, Like, what were we doing

55
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: at twenty four? Clint don't adds.

56
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 3: To that, not for public consumption.

57
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: But has he changed because he's pretty shy and I

58
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: remember when we first met you, Nicole, and I was

59
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: talking to you about what Oscar like and you were like,

60
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: he's a pretty shy kid. But he's been thrown on

61
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: the world stage and he spent three years pretty much

62
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: in the spotlight. Has he changed it all over the years?

63
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, not that I can say, not at all. Yeah,

64
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: he's still he's just an introvert, so the attention, doesn't

65
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: He understands it's part of the job, but he's not

66
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: that comfortable with it and I'm not sure that he

67
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: ever will be.

68
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: So.

69
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: No, personality wise, he hasn't changed. He's probably he's probably

70
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: a little bit more wary, you know, just in a

71
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: subtle way if he's out publicly, or he'll be a

72
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: bit more Yeah, a bit more careful about where he

73
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: goes what he does, but personality wise exactly the same.

74
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: Nothing can changing.

75
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 5: So he's on the world stage. All eyes are on him.

76
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 5: He's living this glorious life. Do you still get phone

77
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 5: calls as just a kid ringing his mum asking questions

78
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 5: whether it's about washing his super Hey, mum, I've got.

79
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: A tax question.

80
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do I get super glue off my hands? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep,

81
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: that's exactly what I get. Yeah, he's still your boy.

82
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's the last rest of the season, and

83
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: then what happens. Do you get some time together at

84
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: the end of the year.

85
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I don't know. I don't know the details yet. Yeah,

86
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: but what I do know is that Oscar loves coming

87
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: home and loves Australia more than any other place in

88
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: the world. So I know that he will always come home,

89
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: particularly for the summer. So we'll, yeah, we'll spend some

90
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: time together. We all can't wait for.

00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 4: Big hug from mum. Have you got the calculator out?

92

00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 3: I tell them they need to do this. I can imagine.

99
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,000

Speaker 2: I'm the last person on his mind at the boat,

111
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,719
