Speaker 1: You got Jason Lauren Clint here as well, and F
Speaker 1: one fans get excited.
Speaker 2: There's no voice more synonymous with the Formula One. Then
Speaker 2: our next guest, David Crafty Kraft. The racing action doesn't
Speaker 2: start until he delivers the most iconic line of all time.
Speaker 1: It's like sounds and the way we go, there's the
Speaker 1: voice we know in love and he joins us on
Speaker 1: the air, David Crafty craft Hello, good morning morning.
Speaker 3: Gooday, guys, gooday. How are you? We are good?
Speaker 4: We are very good. I love your voice. I just
Speaker 4: don't want to say anything. I just want to sit
Speaker 4: and listen to your talk.
Speaker 5: Well, it's a good job. The F one season is
Speaker 5: going to start soon. Then you've got twenty four races
Speaker 5: coming up.
Speaker 1: A Crafty, is there a certain line or do people
Speaker 1: try and get you to personalize that famous line when
Speaker 1: they get you to do a shout out to meet
Speaker 1: you in the public, like can you record a message
Speaker 1: from my mum and say lights out?
Speaker 3: Do you know what?
Speaker 5: It's one of the most flattering things that anyone could
Speaker 5: ever do. And I get a lot of the when
Speaker 5: we come to Melbourne for the Grand Prix and I
Speaker 5: try and walk down that Melbourne walk at the track
Speaker 5: and there's like thousands of fans got coffee.
Speaker 3: Let's do a video video like that the way we
Speaker 3: go and do you know what?
Speaker 5: It's really flattering and I can't do it for everyone
Speaker 5: otherwise I have no voice left. But I love it.
Speaker 5: It's a catchphrase. There's a catchphrase that everyone around the
Speaker 5: world can identify with and it means something's about to happen,
Speaker 5: but we don't know what A love very cool.
Speaker 4: Hey coffee.
Speaker 1: Look.
Speaker 4: The Australian Grand Prix is the season opener. Do you
Speaker 4: think it's the most important of all of the Grand Prixs.
Speaker 5: You don't lose a championship just by one race, but
Speaker 5: it can set a trend for the season. And I
Speaker 5: think year after year we always say we won't know
Speaker 5: anything until we get to Melbourne, and we won't know
Speaker 5: anything ntil we get to qualifying, and then after the
Speaker 5: race we still might not know everything. But I think
Speaker 5: it's the first time we see the cars running in anger,
Speaker 5: with competition and where there's a lot on the line.
Speaker 1: Say, Lars is a big if one is clean and
Speaker 1: these guys have been trying to get me into it.
Speaker 1: Can you just for a layman like myself. You mentioned
Speaker 1: huge changes for this season. In what way, what's the
Speaker 1: biggest change?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 5: Okay, So the cars are shorter and then narrower, which
Speaker 5: means they're more nimble. There's not as much downforce on them,
Speaker 5: which is what kind of sucks the cars to the ground,
Speaker 5: so they're more difficult to drive, and they're going to
Speaker 5: get a bit larry around the corners.
Speaker 3: You might see a bit of drifting. You'll like that.
Speaker 3: I promise.
Speaker 5: We've got rid of DRS, which was an overtaking tool.
Speaker 5: We've got more deployment of electrical energy. Yeah, so the
Speaker 5: overtake now replaces DRS the overtake.
Speaker 4: Mode DRS CA.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So what you get now when you're within a second
Speaker 5: of the car in front to help you overtake, you
Speaker 5: get an extra half a megadewel of electrical energy that
Speaker 5: you can use on that following lap' that's your overtake
Speaker 5: mode combined with your boost mode, which is the electrical
Speaker 5: energy that you can use to defend or attack. This
Speaker 5: is why Lewis Hamilton's saying you need a degree to
Speaker 5: understand the rules for this year. Yeah, it is qretty complicated,
Speaker 5: and this is why me and Anthony all On Sky
Speaker 5: and Ko will be explaining this a lot throughout the
Speaker 5: course of the seasons. I promise, whether you're an expert
Speaker 5: or you're new to the sport, you won't be lost.
Speaker 6: You say, we might not know or learn too much
Speaker 6: until post race in Melbourne, But what do you if
Speaker 6: you could look into your crystal wall, what are you
Speaker 6: expecting like a McLaren going to come back to the
Speaker 6: pack a little bit? I mean, what theorize a little
Speaker 6: bit for us?
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, let's see McLaren Constructors champions for the last
Speaker 5: two years, Lando winning the drivers Championship. On a normal year,
Speaker 5: they go in as mega favorites, but nothing has remained
Speaker 5: on the car that hasn't been impacted by all these changes,
Speaker 5: So you can't say they're definitely going to be the best.
Speaker 5: So there's lots of ifs and buts and maybes. My
Speaker 5: gut feeling is that the big four Mercedes, Red Bull,
Speaker 5: McLaren Ferrari will be the teams scrapping it out for
Speaker 5: the title this season, and my gut feeling is that
Speaker 5: Rebell and McLaren will probably be the two teams battling
Speaker 5: by the end of the year. For the title, but
Speaker 5: we really don't know. So exciting. Hey, los, I just realized,
Speaker 5: you know, he's the sort of person. He's the perfect
Speaker 5: person to chat with about it. The Kim Kay Lewis
Speaker 5: Hamilton relationship, well, yeah, listen, you were at a Super Bowl,
Speaker 5: so did you have your binoculars trained? Of course what
Speaker 5: was going on was that was love in the air.
Speaker 5: And you know what, if love is in the air,
Speaker 5: I'm really pleased. Yeah, it's I think for both of them.
Speaker 5: How do you go and meet a future partner, you know,
Speaker 5: because the world they live in is so different to
Speaker 5: anyone else's world apart from those that inhabited it.
Speaker 3: And they've known each other for a few years. And
Speaker 3: if they are, if they are in a relationship, good
Speaker 3: on them. Good luck.
Speaker 4: Say, there's a Kardashian curse when they date athletes, so
Speaker 4: maybe it's not a good thing for Lewis Hamilton.
Speaker 5: Curses are there to be broken. And look Lewis Hamilton's struggle.
Speaker 5: He struggled to keep up with Charloteclaire last year. Maybe
Speaker 5: keeping up with Kim Kardashian is going to be a
Speaker 5: bit easier.
Speaker 6: Who knows, now, speaking of love, I know how much
Speaker 6: as the English love Lando Norris. It's a bit of
Speaker 6: a love in. Did McLaren rob Oscar piastre of a
Speaker 6: world championship last year?
Speaker 3: No, they didn't know. They built a car that won
Speaker 3: the World championship.
Speaker 6: Win.
Speaker 5: Oh, here we go, British bias times stop it.
Speaker 3: You won the cricket. Give us something.
Speaker 5: They gave Oscar a championship winning car and Oscar was
Speaker 5: leading that championship for a large part of that season,
Speaker 5: but he struggled at certain tracks in the back end
Speaker 5: of the year. And when he struggled, Lando made, you know,
Speaker 5: a very good fist and a successful fist of overhauling
Speaker 5: those points. McLaren kept it equal to the extent that
Speaker 5: they probably cause double the work for everyone on the
Speaker 5: team to keep it equal for both drivers. Don't forget
Speaker 5: Lando's had seven years in Formula one, Oscars had three.
Speaker 5: He's still learning and I said this last year is
Speaker 5: a future world champion. He's very much a world champion,
Speaker 5: but he's still learning and he's still got a few
Speaker 5: things to twine out. And I think we'll come back
Speaker 5: a lot stronger this year. For the experiences of twenty
Speaker 5: twenty five, Hey crafty, what are you drive?
Speaker 3: I drive?
Speaker 5: I'm so dull and boring. I drive an LDA four Estate.
Speaker 5: To be honest, misus cross got a little sporty Mercedes.
Speaker 5: I've got the estates cast.
Speaker 4: What do you sit on Tesla's?
Speaker 3: Where do I sit on Tesla's?
Speaker 5: Now I stand by the side and let someone else
Speaker 5: say thank you very much. I have no desire to
Speaker 5: sit in a Tesla.
Speaker 3: Ever.
Speaker 1: Hey, we're going to talk the crafty show. Are you
Speaker 1: coming out here to do some chats? What will people
Speaker 1: expect the show?
Speaker 3: We do?
Speaker 5: And I'm going to be doing one show in Sydney
Speaker 5: at the Bondi Pavilion, which is a beautiful little intimate space,
Speaker 5: on the Monday before the Grand Prix, that's Monday the second,
Speaker 5: and then with Anthony Davidson in Perth at the Regal
Speaker 5: Theater at Symbiaco and Perth. We're going to be performing
Speaker 5: on the ninth, so the Monday after the Grand Prix. Now,
Speaker 5: Anton and I have known each other, We've been mates
Speaker 5: for twenty years and we've got a lot of stories.
Speaker 5: And he has promised whoever turns up in Perth, he's
Speaker 5: promised to tell the tale of how he saved me
Speaker 5: from embarrassment once with Lewis Hamilton. I'm not going to
Speaker 5: go into much more detail, but it was my fortieth
Speaker 5: birthday and he really did save me that night and
Speaker 5: he's going to tell that tale on stage, he says,
Speaker 5: so come along just for that. But it's an interactive show,
Speaker 5: quizes competitions, lots of chat about Formula one and we'll
Speaker 5: answer your questions as Formula one fans and make it
Speaker 5: as entertaining as we possibly can.
Speaker 1: Tickets for Crafty's live shows are available at fanofsport dot com. Crafty,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for jumping on this morning, mate. We
Speaker 1: appreciate it. We cannot wait for you to get to
