1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,760 Speaker 1: Andrew or this is with us. Good to see you 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: greenex Bike. Tell me how good are you an F 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: one fan? Naturally? Or you just sort of dip utau 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 1: in periodically. 5 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 2: How you appreciate the fact that they could drive like 6 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 2: cart I've sort more of a great driver out there, Mike. 7 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,600 Speaker 1: That would be as good a race. It was as 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: good a race as you will ever see, not only 9 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: as the season closed up with McLaren being genuinely competitive 10 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: with Red Bull and Verstappan's running Red Bull by himself 11 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: because Pereza isn't up to anything, so McLaren. Both drivers 12 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: are there or thereabouts. But what unfolded was as good 13 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: as it gets. 14 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 2: Well, you've got Norris and for starving with the punctures 15 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 2: what sixty fourth lap? Yeah, you would have thought for 16 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 2: starting had it pretty much sort of a gentleman and 17 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 2: that particular juncture. And then well a driver we've been 18 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: talking about for while, George Russell, who I've got a 19 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 2: lot of time for it seems to really have some 20 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: composure there behind the wheel, has has taken it out 21 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: so his second if I But here's. 22 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: The thing, so when we stap and goes in for 23 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: the pit stop, they can't pull the back wheel off. 24 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: Why is that? That's pressure, you see, That's what happens 25 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: with the field, So pressure they crack and then suddenly 26 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: Norris's back. And do you remember when Lewis Hamilton and 27 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: Vastappan back in the days when Mercedes were competitive, they 28 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: ran over each other, they crashed regularly, and this was 29 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: the same. This is just Norris is replaced and that's 30 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: what makes it so exciting. 31 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 2: Well, Norris's rice the season has been one of the highlights, 32 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: hasn't it. Just a casual observer, he's a genuine and 33 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 2: it's great to have this competitive NAEs coming back to 34 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: it because red Bull been so strong for so long, 35 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: So no, I'm welcome in. So as a neutral fan. 36 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: You've got red Bull, you've got McLaren, you got Mercedes, 37 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: and you got Ferrari a genuinely competitive now and so 38 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: that's good for them. 39 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: That's gas more than that, good for the sport. 40 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: Tell twenty. Once they got across the line, was that 41 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: a success in any way, shape or form. Did that 42 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: do for cricket what it was supposed to? 43 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 2: I think they will argue just the entry into the 44 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: United States any subsequent to that with the the MLC 45 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: Major League Cricket coming up, I'll say it's a launching 46 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: pad if you like to try and keep that sustained. 47 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: I think they've been let down by the pictures over 48 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: the course of the tournament. I mean, fortunately, it's produced 49 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: some close games and you've had outsiders coming through into 50 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 2: the last eight, et cetera. Afghanistan, United States, but ultimately 51 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: the juggernaut that's India has has won through. So yeah, 52 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 2: and I'm pleased with South Africa to to be able 53 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: to make the final of a major tournament as well. 54 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 2: I mean, they've been threatening for so long. I've been 55 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: accused of the dreadful tag, that the choker tag if 56 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: you're like in semi finals, et cetera. So to get 57 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: through to the final for the ms of a breakthrough, 58 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: but I just felt like, yeah, that the pictures went 59 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: up to it another it's if you're a better and 60 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 2: you have that, you want a good competition between bat 61 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: and ball. But the inconsistency meant that there was just 62 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 2: the hesitancy on their part. 63 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: And I know you want to celebrate the warriors, don't 64 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: we all? Don't we all? 65 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: At sixty six six last time I was sitting in 66 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 2: this seat last week. 67 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: So, but I don't know. We got Andrew Webster on 68 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: the program tomorrow and so I don't know what happened. 69 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: I don't know how you explained it was an interview 70 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: of your ILK cast came well, I'm going to have 71 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: to But at the end of the day, it was 72 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: a very good game though, because the Broncos are a 73 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: solid side and they had the you know, the ability 74 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: to come back, but they never looked like they were 75 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: going to win. 76 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: The Warriors continue to produce the magic when you're at 77 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 2: least expected in vice versa. So but I mean they're 78 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: going to stick with what tomorrow, mate, And. 79 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: Every time, every time he's on the field, he does stuff. 80 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: This is entertaining, changing the guard potentially here. Yeah, I think. Yeah, 81 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: all right, Andrew, nice to see you, lovely, Mike, go well. 82 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: Andrew Wildison with the Sport on the Monday Morning five. 83 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: For more from News Talk Said B listen live on 84 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: air or online, and 85 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: Keep our shows with you wherever you go with our 86 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: podcasts on IRT Radio.
