WEBVTT - The Finale

0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:09.639
<v Speaker 1>Uh, hi, Hello, hey Michael, how's it going?

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:11.639
<v Speaker 2>No, it's the rear tire.

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there was a flat Michael? You with me?

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 2>What is it? Yeah? Yes?

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>YOHI what is now? Is now a good time?

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm in the middle of something right now. Actually, it's just.

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>It's just really just like a little pop quiz that

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>we prepared for you to see what you took in

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>from the season. We're going to do it Jeopardy style.

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 2>What does that even? What does that mean?

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Question one?

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god?

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:32.879
<v Speaker 1>All right? Who are the owners and the governing bodies

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Formula one?

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, first of all, that's two questions.

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Always with the smart alecky comment.

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:44.479
<v Speaker 2>Uh. The owners are the people that own the teams,

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.559
<v Speaker 2>and the governing body is the is the Formula.

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 3>One Association incomplete?

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Second question, this public personality arrogantly described F one strategy

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 1>as overthinking.

0:00:58.320 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Christian Horner.

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>No, who is Michael Costa? Oh shit? I did say that.

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I really thought you would get this one. Third question.

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>This tool used in F one design, car set up

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and race analysis is commonly abbreviated as CFD.

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, this one's easy. This is a softball. That's

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 2>computational fluid dynamics all right.

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>Question four, what are the number of compounds for a

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Pirelli F one tire?

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's funny you bring up tires because I'm actually

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:29.320
<v Speaker 2>at the bike shop right now.

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you've mentioned that.

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 2>It's not my tire issue. It's actually the inner two.

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 4>There's soft, hard, medium, rain, and there's another one maybe

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 4>like lightning or maybe altitude five.

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 2>I would say five.

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Question five, what is the amount of trucks used to

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>transport all F one teams within a European race?

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, as if anybody knows the actual answer, this

0:01:55.640 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 2>is so stupid. Hundreds hundreds of trucks.

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna need a number, Michael, that's how these things were.

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Four hundreds could be anything from okay, I get it, yo.

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Hi. I'm literally like waiting to get my bike so

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:13.920
<v Speaker 2>I can go pick up my kid. I would say

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and twenty trucks. All right, So I don't

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>find out if I got this right or not or what.

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I will say you're off by a magnitude

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:21.799
<v Speaker 1>of around four.

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, YOHI. It's nice to see you've kept that

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 2>expert arrogance.

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you a shot at a bonus point here,

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 1>what is the equivalent weight in elephants of the air

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>freight that each team ships per race?

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is what I remember. It was the elephants, right?

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 2>What is eight elephants?

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I knew he should talk to you in elephants, I

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 1>told Tony. Question six. F one driver Charles Leclair has

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>been worrying Lily Harmon frequently by wearing this style of trousers.

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 4>Lily, I mean, how am I supposed to know what

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 4>Lily's doing? What are flight pants?

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Fuck?

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Dang it?

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Question seven. At two hundred and thirty four point nine

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>miles per hour, this F one driver holds the record

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>for the fastest speed ever clocked during a race.

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Who is max firsteven?

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Question eight? What each F one team must design and build.

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 4>Themselves branding strategy, restrooms for their teams, the helmet, the pants,

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.520
<v Speaker 4>the special pants, and then or their logo.

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>You know they all have like cool logos or whatever.

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Said, so many things that none of them are right? God?

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>How long is this quiz?

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Question nine? What is the kinematic viscosity? The F one

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>engine oil must comply with JIM as specified by the

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four Formula one Technical Regulations Menu that's tricky.

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Are you using the standard ASTM D four four five measurements?

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>That's correct?

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, then I'll say what is two point

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 2>eight CENTI strokes? I'm realizing I actually do know the

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 2>decent amount about Formula one?

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Question ten?

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh, why are you sure we're only on ten?

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Michael? Michael, please focus? Okay, here we go. Question ten.

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>This classic F one car was described by choosing Side's

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:18.039
<v Speaker 1>co host as a Mama and Papa bear with four

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:19.279
<v Speaker 1>little cubs.

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.479
<v Speaker 2>Oh shit, this must have been that episode when I

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:27.239
<v Speaker 2>came in blackout trunk the cars of the early two thousands.

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:28.559
<v Speaker 3>Wrong.

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Last question, This F one driver won more than half

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the wet races he participated in.

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh you know who's good in the rain? Somebody from

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 2>a shitty weather Lance stroll. The Canadian guy.

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 3>Very wrong.

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Hey, I have a question for you two. Who's going

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 2>to be late to pick up his kid at daycare

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 2>now and probably be charged anywhere from thirty to fifty dollars.

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for your time, Michael, I appreciate it. I

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>know you have a busy day, so I'm gonna let

0:04:57.920 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 1>you get back to that bike.

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Or wait, how did I do him? Did I? Pass.

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, well, we don't worry. We'll we'll we'll have to

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 1>crunch the numbers. So yeah, well we'll get back to you.

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>We'll call you, don't call us.

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 2>From My Heart Podcast one on one Studios and Sports

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Illustrated Studios.

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 3>This is choosing sides.

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes one, Wow? Wow? How many a earlier?

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 5>There's eleven? You've already got yours? No, I don't.

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Here is that on your computer?

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 3>In a nondescript time, After hard day's labor in the

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 3>grueling New York City comedy scene, comedian Michael Costa walks

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 3>into the studio and collapses on the carpet floor. His

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.479
<v Speaker 3>back is killing him.

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh geez.

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 3>The weight of a consequential decision he is about to

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 3>make is weighing down on his fragile shoulders. His sympathetic

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 3>co host, his guide, his oracle, is trying to focus

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 3>him on the task at hand.

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 5>A man at his breaking point, ready to give up

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:14.720
<v Speaker 5>in life itself.

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 3>With her calm and authoritative voice, she reviews the eleven

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 3>distinct categories of F one fans that roam this big

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 3>blue earth.

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:31.480
<v Speaker 5>So we've got business right, strategy, right, stats and data right.

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 3>Michael now on his hands and knees, arches his back,

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 3>pushing his tailbone towards his feet in what is known

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 3>as a cat cow stretch. Meanwhile, in the recording booth,

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 3>their producer frantically paces back and forth, his eyes on

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 3>the clock, measuring the rapidly evaporating studio time. He coaxes

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.119
<v Speaker 3>the two co hosts into action.

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 6>Michael, Yes, Tony, Yeah, Yo, Hi you guys ready?

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 5>We are? I think we are.

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 6>You had a chance to mold us over.

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I actually got a hotel room this weekend. I

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 2>told my family to f off, and I just muled

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 2>this over. I'm very ready.

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 6>You're ready. It's exciting, Okay, I think I think we're

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 6>sounds like we're ready, yep.

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 5>After the races. So, Michael, we started this whole thing off, however,

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 5>many weeks ago, because you contacted us with a complaint.

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 5>You were promised to be initiated into the sports, and

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 5>then you found yourself after an entire season of choosing

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 5>sides with even more questions than answers.

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 2>I know just enough now that I know that I

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 2>don't know anything, and I blame you for that. YOHI

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 2>is that everything? Even say your name? Yeah? That's exactly

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 2>what happened. I lived it. You don't have to remind

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 2>me of it. I needed guidance on what type of

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.760
<v Speaker 2>fan I am, and you've really delivered a lot of

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 2>different options to me.

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.120
<v Speaker 5>And the great thing is you are not alone, Michael.

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 5>Many of our Season one listeners were also writing to

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 5>express a similar sentiment.

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 2>I bet, I'm not surprised. That's how I felt.

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 5>It's being quite the journey that we've had together. We

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 5>tried to dive in deeper with you, and of course,

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 5>every one of the single topics that we chose deserves

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.640
<v Speaker 5>a whole, entire podcast series dedicated to it, and there

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 5>are podcasts out there that dedicate a whole podcast to

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 5>the culture and the fashion of F one, the tech

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 5>of F one, the data of F one, you name it.

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 5>But what we were trying to do is to strike

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 5>a balance between enriching you, answering you many many, many

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.559
<v Speaker 5>many questions while also not overloading you.

0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Right, how did we do?

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 6>I guess maybe I'll just bring the listeners in here.

0:08:55.160 --> 0:09:00.560
<v Speaker 6>Michael keeps breaking our recordings to do downward Dog and

0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 6>different yoga poses, Childs post basically, Yeah, so maybe we

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 6>are overloading.

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 5>You, okay, do you need a recap?

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Maybe as much recap, but I need a recap.

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 5>Let me give you the briefest recap I can think of.

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 5>We started by talking about the business model of Formula one,

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 5>how the money flows through the sport in and out.

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 5>We talk strategy and game theory, explaining why Formula one

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 5>is basically a high speed game of chess. We' then

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 5>dove into the data. We then did the.

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.599
<v Speaker 2>Rubber tire episode, the tire.

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 5>Episode, the one and only with a Y with a

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:38.720
<v Speaker 5>Y tire.

0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.680
<v Speaker 2>With a what e y ri e? It was how

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 2>tony with an I spells it?

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 5>By the way, you're going to start writing tire with

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 5>a Y? Or am I getting my hot? Fantastic? We

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 5>did the insane logistics of the sport. We did the

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 5>glitz and the glamour, and the rumors and the drama.

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.440
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty interesting. It's a pretty good looking sport. Is

0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 2>it's a pretty good looking sport that's.

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 5>Actually a great tiger And by the way, Formula one

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 5>the best looking skill.

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I put tennis up there, too, careful, careful.

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 5>We did the skill and the speed. Then we stood

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 5>at the very precipice of technology glimpsing towards the future

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 5>tech that was tech. Yes, then what did we do?

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 5>We traveled back in time to better appreciate.

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 2>The history of the sports, which was history.

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 5>And finally we looked at the heavens and considered how

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.960
<v Speaker 5>the weather is delightfully toying with the sports.

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 6>It was a delightful delivery to thank you.

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 5>And now we're here.

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.559
<v Speaker 3>And now we are here, there's a.

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Lot of good stuff. There's a lot a lot of

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:38.840
<v Speaker 2>good stuff. And I know more than I did when

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:39.880
<v Speaker 2>we started this thing.

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:40.840
<v Speaker 5>I like that.

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there was a lot here that I didn't think

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 2>I would care or like about, but I do.

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 5>I do have one question for you today, and it

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:49.680
<v Speaker 5>might not be the last one. Okay, it's the first

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 5>question I have for you on this monumental occasion, Yes,

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 5>of the finale of choosing sides Formula one? Do you

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.560
<v Speaker 5>have any more questions? Are there are questions I've been

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:02.560
<v Speaker 5>left unanswered?

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 2>No? All I have now are answers. You, Tony, have

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:14.079
<v Speaker 2>answered everything, and your TikTok answers everything. And forty seconds

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 2>I get an entire recap on the tire situation.

0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.520
<v Speaker 5>Of F one at speed two eggs.

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:24.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm impressed that I know so much and if we

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 2>only use seven percent of our brain, I feel like

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.560
<v Speaker 2>one percent of my brain is Formula one information. Now,

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 2>once I leave the studio today, will this be of

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 2>any service to me? I'm not sure. There's something so

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:39.960
<v Speaker 2>brilliant about a podcast where you start with questions and

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 2>you finish with answers.

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 6>You know what else, Listeners love a good ad break.

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 5>Michael, it would feel incomplete and unfair to close out

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 5>this season without talking about some of the biggest updates

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 5>of this this year.

0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I no, I agree, and I need to be updated.

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:05.319
<v Speaker 5>One of the key figures inside a Formula one Sir

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 5>Lewis Hamilton, the man himself, dropped a bombshell on us

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 5>this year.

0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 7>Goodness, We've got some huge breaking news from the world

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 7>of Formula one, the world of motorsport is a buzz.

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 5>Ferrari confirming Lewis Hamilton has signed with the team Lewis Hamilton.

0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:29.120
<v Speaker 7>It's going to be leaving Mercedes and joining Ferran Lewis Hamilton.

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 2>You know this even showed up to me, so that

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 2>tells you the crossover of the story. I knew this,

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I knew that.

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 5>I love that you said that because I don't think

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 5>that I have seen as much F one news on

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.679
<v Speaker 5>normal broadcasts TV shows. I was like, oh, this is

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 5>how you know that a driver's mainstream.

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is such a sexy story, and I mean

0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 2>that like news media loves a juicy headline. It's it's delicious.

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 2>You know my Jordan famously went to the Wizards to

0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 2>play basketball and never won anything. Is that? Is that?

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 2>What this is is Lewis? You know, I don't remember

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Lewis winning too many races at Mercedes the last two

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 2>years that I've been around.

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 5>I think this is what's on top of everyone's mind.

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 5>Is he clearly still wasn't convinced going into twenty twenty

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:23.560
<v Speaker 5>four that that car could give him more World championships, right,

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.679
<v Speaker 5>And let's be real, Ferrari hasn't convinced us that that

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 5>car can do any World championships. So it's either that

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 5>I wonder if it's Lewis saw something he really didn't

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.600
<v Speaker 5>like with the Mercedes car, or he saw something he

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.840
<v Speaker 5>really did like at the Ferrari car. But does that

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 5>maybe get you a little bit more excited about Ferrari

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 5>because we know you're a little bit down and we

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 5>started this this season and this.

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Year though, well, Ferrari didn't do a whole lot to

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 2>keep my fandom. I mean, at one point Charles Leclark

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 2>was in first place and then his car just stopped working.

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.440
<v Speaker 5>But look, everyone was surprised, and everyone didn't think that

0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.439
<v Speaker 5>it was the right move when he moved from McClaren

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 5>to Mercedes, So that man might prove us wrong. Yeah.

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Again, the reason I chose Ferrari is it connects to

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 2>me viscerally, into the foundation that is my humanity. And

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.319
<v Speaker 2>so when Lewis did the same thing I did, and

0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.320
<v Speaker 2>let's be honest, Costa was first here, it vindicates me

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 2>a little bit that Lewis, even a driver who's been

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.240
<v Speaker 2>competing against Ferrari all his years, even he wants to

0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:26.920
<v Speaker 2>be part of the Ferrari team. You know, leaders, champions,

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 2>they forge their own path, and so this will be

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 2>interesting to see. I guess I'm worried that he's just

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 2>his driving abilities aren't, Like, is he going to be

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 2>championship level? Man? If he goes to Ferrari and is

0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 2>championship level, that is so fucking exciting. But if he's

0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 2>just like middle of the road, then it's like Okay,

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:52.400
<v Speaker 2>cool Tony, this isn't charity work here, Lewis Hamilton is

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 2>not volunteering to race for Ferrari. Money talks. Tell me

0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 2>about the money of this deal.

0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 5>One thing worth noting that in contract world, in Formula one,

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 5>everything is hush hush, it's all speculation. It's all drips

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 5>and drabs that we get. So we know it's a

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 5>multi year contract, but we don't know what that means.

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 5>We know hearsay that he was paid one hundred million

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.560
<v Speaker 5>for this and on top of that, and this seems

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 5>to be the thing that differentiated Feri from Mercedes is

0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 5>they are offering i think four hundred million to his

0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 5>charity and his mission work. Wow, so mission forty four.

0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 5>So that's a bit like that's a five hundred million

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 5>dollar package if you look.

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 2>At it, and he's only going to get a wow.

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's amazing, but.

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 5>If you think that's a lot of money. The days

0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 5>following the announcement that solo Is Hamilton was going to

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 5>Scuderia Ferrari, the share price absolutely skyrocketed to a more

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.960
<v Speaker 5>than ten percent, which in of itself equates to just

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 5>under seven billion US dollars.

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 2>So there we go. They've already made a shitload of

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 2>money just off this nice headline exactly. I mean, if

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Casta moves over to Ferrari, that starcks gonna plumb it.

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 5>Don't say that.

0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Have a little bit more faith, Tony. I've been getting

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Lewis Hamilton, a lot of Ferrari. I

0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 2>also saw some whispers of Christian Horner controversy scandal. I

0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know what that is. Can you fill me in?

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.080
<v Speaker 5>Yes and no. I can fill you in on what

0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 5>we know, which, like all things F one is not

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 5>a lot. The reason why I think this is relevant

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 5>is Christian Horner has been the most long standard team

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.520
<v Speaker 5>principle that we have in the paddock actually as of

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 5>this year at Red Bull. The context to this, which

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 5>is important is Dietrich Matischitz, who was in charge of

0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.280
<v Speaker 5>Red Bull, not just Red Bull Racing, who is the

0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 5>guy who basically bought the drink Red Bull to Europe,

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.280
<v Speaker 5>passed away sadly just a couple of years ago. That

0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:51.440
<v Speaker 5>has started a snowball effect of power play between Red

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:55.160
<v Speaker 5>Bull in Austria and Red Bull Racing in Milton Keynes.

0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:56.920
<v Speaker 5>And so there's a lot of power plays and a

0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 5>lot of dynamics because Ditrich Mattterschitz and Christian Horner got

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.440
<v Speaker 5>long like two pieces in a pot. With him being

0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 5>out of there, there's been some movement. Basically allegedly what

0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:12.840
<v Speaker 5>we are hearing is unfavorable behavior from Christian Horner from

0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:17.440
<v Speaker 5>his I believe x assist now ex assistant. But it's

0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 5>all his say as of right now.

0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 2>This is not sport related.

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:21.879
<v Speaker 5>This is nothing.

0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:25.399
<v Speaker 2>This is personal. This is in the sexual misconduct realm.

0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:26.920
<v Speaker 5>It is in the misconduct realm.

0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, whatever that is, whatever that means, whatever will come

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 2>out of it. But he allegedly has been behaving poorly.

0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 5>Exactly and apparently we have proof and we have text

0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 5>messages and okay, he's come out and flat flat out

0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.760
<v Speaker 5>denied it. But what is tricky or what is interesting,

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.480
<v Speaker 5>is there's been an investigation opened by Red Bulls.

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:50.960
<v Speaker 2>So this is something to keep our eye on and

0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 2>see what facts come out and the investigation. I mean,

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.400
<v Speaker 2>the thing is, it's always like when a company investigates itself,

0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm always like, oh, really, how hard are you going

0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 2>to dig? But I guess if there's ever been a

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:06.399
<v Speaker 2>time in the history of the world for people to

0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.360
<v Speaker 2>actually investigate themselves seriously. It's the best time is now?

0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.960
<v Speaker 5>I hope absolutely. And this is the flip side of

0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.880
<v Speaker 5>having a big bright light on Formula one. Right now,

0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:20.760
<v Speaker 5>Formula one is the new hot commodity in town, and

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 5>so there's a lot of lights on F one. And

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.359
<v Speaker 5>this is the flip side of it. If you don't

0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.240
<v Speaker 5>have your shit in order, it's gonna come out.

0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.159
<v Speaker 2>When a spotlight is bright, more stuff shows up.

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.440
<v Speaker 6>I think the saying is sunlight is the best disinfectant,

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.199
<v Speaker 6>just a thought or an observation.

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:39.320
<v Speaker 2>There it goes.

0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 6>There's like this weird, almost mystical connection sometimes I feel

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:51.680
<v Speaker 6>between people's names and like their destiny, their profession.

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Right are you saying horner because it's like horny?

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.040
<v Speaker 6>I mean, am I the only one?

0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 2>I think that's a stupid point, yo, Hi, And I

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:02.440
<v Speaker 2>don't think should be entertaining it at all. I don't

0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.160
<v Speaker 2>know how I'm going to say this in the right way.

0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:05.719
<v Speaker 5>Okay.

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:12.160
<v Speaker 2>He is a massive, powerful person and should be held

0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 2>to a very high standard. And in a competitive field,

0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot happening. It's hard to know what isn't

0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 2>isn't And I hope, I hope we somehow get to that.

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.680
<v Speaker 5>And I love that you've said that, because F one

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.399
<v Speaker 5>for so many decades has gotten away with so much

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.640
<v Speaker 5>because it wasn't in the spotlight. It wasn't in the limelight.

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:42.159
<v Speaker 5>The mainstream media weren't picking up on Formula one stories

0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:46.119
<v Speaker 5>the way they are right now. And I'm hoping that this, yeah,

0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:49.240
<v Speaker 5>shines a light on everyone in that product should be

0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:50.560
<v Speaker 5>held to a high standard, right.

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.679
<v Speaker 2>Or, as Johai said, Horner sounds like horny, it's business

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:54.200
<v Speaker 2>as usual.

0:19:54.920 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 8>There obviously is a process. Obviously I fully deny what

0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:03.679
<v Speaker 8>you know, any accusations that have been made against me,

0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:06.960
<v Speaker 8>But of course I'll work work with that process, which

0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.000
<v Speaker 8>I hope is concluded in the near future.

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:12.720
<v Speaker 5>On that note, it's time. It's time ocean that moment

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.400
<v Speaker 5>Michael for you. We've you know, did he daddied enough?

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Here?

0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.639
<v Speaker 5>It's time for you to make your choice. Have you

0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:21.679
<v Speaker 5>figured out that's a burning question on everyone's mind. Have

0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:23.880
<v Speaker 5>you figured out what kind of fan you are?

0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:31.560
<v Speaker 6>Maybe? Well, Michael's thinking here, yeah, he's taking his time.

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.080
<v Speaker 6>Throw maybe we could throw it over to our trusted

0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:36.680
<v Speaker 6>engineer here is Alton. I can tell you know, he's

0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:40.320
<v Speaker 6>just been listening here in rapture, so curious to hear

0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:41.480
<v Speaker 6>his thoughts.

0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 9>All right, how's it going?

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 2>So?

0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.359
<v Speaker 5>Were you an F one fan before this?

0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:55.080
<v Speaker 9>Not necessarily, I would say I was on the Fringes

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:56.720
<v Speaker 9>of F one culture.

0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.360
<v Speaker 5>That's another great name for a podcast, on the Fringes

0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:00.520
<v Speaker 5>of F one Consultan.

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:04.159
<v Speaker 2>If you take my role in this whole thing, I

0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:05.080
<v Speaker 2>swear to God did.

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:08.960
<v Speaker 5>I'm actually curious? Do you think that after all of

0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:11.440
<v Speaker 5>this listening exercise that you would want to watch a

0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:13.639
<v Speaker 5>race or start following the sport? Was this put you

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:14.240
<v Speaker 5>off completely?

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:15.200
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:16.160
<v Speaker 9>I would watch.

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 2>I would watch.

0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:21.720
<v Speaker 9>Yes, I'm pretty interested in a lot of like the

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.600
<v Speaker 9>data and analytics part of it, so I feel like

0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.399
<v Speaker 9>that is the most interesting thing for me.

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 5>So out of the different fans that we presented, you

0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:36.920
<v Speaker 5>would be steadfast and saying I am a data analytics

0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:37.679
<v Speaker 5>I would need.

0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:38.880
<v Speaker 9>The Excel spreadsheet guy.

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I love that. Okay, sometime, thank you, Michael, No

0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:49.360
<v Speaker 5>more wasting our time. What's your answer? My three yr

0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:53.320
<v Speaker 5>tech business and tires. I love the tires, but you

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:55.960
<v Speaker 5>do get quickly limited. So I think I gravitate towards

0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:56.760
<v Speaker 5>tires and business.

0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:00.159
<v Speaker 2>I have a major and a minor and then a

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:00.800
<v Speaker 2>minor minor.

0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:03.720
<v Speaker 5>So wait before you tell us what kind of fun

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:07.560
<v Speaker 5>you were indulge me, what kind of funnel you not?

0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:08.399
<v Speaker 5>For sure?

0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Logistics is out now? Yeah, I mean it's cool, but

0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:20.439
<v Speaker 2>it's out. Glitz and Glamour's out. Data is out. It

0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:23.320
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean I don't respect you, know, you're you're you're

0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 2>asking me to pick pick a wife here? And would

0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:29.080
<v Speaker 2>I date glitz and glamor?

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I would date glitz and glamour, but I want to

0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 2>devote my life to glitz and glamor would I would

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:37.399
<v Speaker 2>I date history?

0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 2>I go on a couple of dates with history, but

0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm not proposing the history.

0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:42.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but you also said that you would want someone

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 5>to help you be logistically perfect, but so you'd use logistics,

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:49.879
<v Speaker 5>but you wouldn't.

0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:53.120
<v Speaker 2>This is tough. This is you can tell Tony's good,

0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:54.359
<v Speaker 2>you can tell.

0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:57.640
<v Speaker 5>You so no, no to logistics.

0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:04.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm still I'm picking my two favorite right, the ones.

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:05.480
<v Speaker 2>They are the reasons that I would be a fan

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:07.280
<v Speaker 2>of this formula one.

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:09.320
<v Speaker 5>There are consequences to what you say. If we haven't

0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:10.280
<v Speaker 5>told you this, yeh.

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Do my wife take over Tony's body?

0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:15.400
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:19.080
<v Speaker 2>So those three I would I would probably rule out okay, yeah,

0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:24.119
<v Speaker 2>fair yeah, weather on the in the playing field. I'm

0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:29.560
<v Speaker 2>business tech still on the playing fields, Okay, Okay.

0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:31.119
<v Speaker 5>I'm surprised wether still there. I'm not gonna know.

0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:34.840
<v Speaker 2>I do like when it rains in an F one race.

0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:37.640
<v Speaker 2>It's very fun. I hope they never stop that, hope

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:38.280
<v Speaker 2>they allow.

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:41.040
<v Speaker 5>That climate sticks with us and we still have rain.

0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I could see them being so tech driven that

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:47.320
<v Speaker 2>they could actually just make rain and just say, like

0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:51.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, they'll do it. Yeah, yeah, it's like safe rame.

0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:56.920
<v Speaker 5>Okay, Michael, it's time. I have a feeling our listeners

0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:58.840
<v Speaker 5>are just you know, they're just at the edge of

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 5>their seats right now. Dunk but you but you take

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:05.399
<v Speaker 5>your time, sip your water, sit your warm tea's. You know,

0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:06.399
<v Speaker 5>no one's in a rush yet.

0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:08.880
<v Speaker 6>Actually, Tony, we have to clear the studio in about

0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:09.560
<v Speaker 6>nine minutes.

0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So I I had a lot of internal struggle

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:19.640
<v Speaker 2>and this was almost my choice. Okay, business was almost

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:23.560
<v Speaker 2>my choice because I do think what makes this whole

0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:28.040
<v Speaker 2>thing drive around in circles is the money. And it's

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:33.000
<v Speaker 2>fascinating to learn about sponsorship and decals and who they're

0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:35.879
<v Speaker 2>willing to take money from because all of this drives

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:39.560
<v Speaker 2>pun intended on the business side of this, and the

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:42.280
<v Speaker 2>fact that even the number one team and driver right

0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:48.040
<v Speaker 2>now are a commercial energy drink just even is more

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 2>clear how important business is in the sport. But that's

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:52.480
<v Speaker 2>not what I picked.

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:53.399
<v Speaker 6>Okay, okay.

0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:58.560
<v Speaker 2>The game strategy really surprised me, and I would have

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:00.639
<v Speaker 2>predicted that I did not care that much much about that,

0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 2>But that is really cool to me that they have

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:07.879
<v Speaker 2>so many secret plans and they think so far ahead,

0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:10.480
<v Speaker 2>and they have so much data which helps them determine

0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:12.520
<v Speaker 2>what's going on. And there's two drivers in the same

0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:14.359
<v Speaker 2>team and they kind of compete, but they kind of

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:16.840
<v Speaker 2>use each other and help each other. I find game

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:20.360
<v Speaker 2>strategy really interesting, and it got me thinking about other

0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 2>sports and how often you spend weeks on strategy all sports,

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean literally, and if the football teams meet Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Thursday on the strategy for that week. So I believe

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I was downplaying strategy a little bit, and then I

0:25:35.080 --> 0:25:38.680
<v Speaker 2>really started thinking about other sports and there's huge emphasis

0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 2>on strategy, which to me gave me some credibility, like, oh, yeah, Michael,

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:45.960
<v Speaker 2>you've spent you spend days preparing for a tennis match

0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:48.760
<v Speaker 2>with the strategy involved. So I like that, but it's

0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:52.960
<v Speaker 2>not what I picked. Okay, what I picked is at

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:56.040
<v Speaker 2>the foundation of this sport. It's what makes everything go.

0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:59.120
<v Speaker 2>It's the reason that the world wars ended in those

0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:02.920
<v Speaker 2>same people shifted to another activity because they want to

0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:06.200
<v Speaker 2>go fast. People want to go fast, and they want

0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:09.560
<v Speaker 2>to burn gasoline, turn it into a flame, which then

0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 2>creates a drive train which shoots a fucking rocket onto

0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:16.320
<v Speaker 2>the ground as fast as it can go. Period speed

0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:19.160
<v Speaker 2>and skill. Good night, Sultan, turn off my Mike.

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 5>That was a very faultful ones.

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:24.119
<v Speaker 2>I just think you can't. You can't talk about anything

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:27.560
<v Speaker 2>else in front of speed, the whole reason we're here.

0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 5>So I guess next season we're going to do a

0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:33.399
<v Speaker 5>whole season on just speed.

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:38.479
<v Speaker 2>What is my favorite miles per hour? It's a two

0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:40.880
<v Speaker 2>hundred and eighteen? What's gonna nineteen?

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:44.080
<v Speaker 5>We are going to have to agree that if we

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:45.639
<v Speaker 5>do it, it has to be in connomittants.

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:50.639
<v Speaker 2>Sure that was easy. Yeah, you know, I I learned

0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:55.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot Tony. It's really fun. You have a breadth

0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:59.359
<v Speaker 2>of knowledge. I also really respect that. Sometimes I'll just

0:26:59.400 --> 0:27:02.080
<v Speaker 2>say I don't fully know the answer to that, because

0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:03.760
<v Speaker 2>this is a complicated subject.

0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:05.320
<v Speaker 6>You know, I'm also here.

0:27:05.480 --> 0:27:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I forgot the jas here and YOHI you know a

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:12.800
<v Speaker 2>lot too. But you're not in the main room. You're

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:15.040
<v Speaker 2>in the back room with Sultan. Let me tell you

0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:16.920
<v Speaker 2>what I one of the things I really enjoy about

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:22.920
<v Speaker 2>F one. Tell me I really appreciate how team principles

0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 2>and drivers will assume accountability, responsibility for errors.

0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:35.919
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, guys, guys, yeah, sorry, I didn't.

0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Have and young people, if you're listening, the reason those

0:27:41.720 --> 0:27:45.800
<v Speaker 2>people are so qualified and such experts and got to

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 2>such a high level of knowledge is because they were

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:51.119
<v Speaker 2>able to be objective enough and say I got this wrong.

0:27:51.640 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 2>I made a mistake today, and I'm going to learn

0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:53.840
<v Speaker 2>from it.

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:56.240
<v Speaker 5>I also think there's no room to hide when you

0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:58.480
<v Speaker 5>fuck up. It gets pretty like the datas.

0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:02.120
<v Speaker 2>That's probably like the more realistic answer, like everything's recorded.

0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:05.600
<v Speaker 5>Wait, you don't think bend us in four K. With

0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:08.119
<v Speaker 5>the one hundred different cameras that were available and all

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:09.360
<v Speaker 5>the DASA sets that we now have.

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:14.160
<v Speaker 2>It is hard to say I screwed UPDOS but grown

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:18.920
<v Speaker 2>ups do that. Yeah, And because of that, I'm still

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:25.720
<v Speaker 2>a child Friday. It's Saturday, Sunday. What it's Friday. It's

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 2>one of those subjects that the more you know, the

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:31.920
<v Speaker 2>more questions you have, but also the more interested you are.

0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:35.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not one of those subjects where like I went

0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:38.719
<v Speaker 2>to ballet once and I liked the ballet, and then

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I started to kind of dig into it and I said,

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:43.040
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I don't like ballet. I don't need

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 2>to know more about ballet. Oh you are a ballerina.

0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:47.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. That was a bad example. It was one

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:49.800
<v Speaker 2>of those subjects where like, as I got into it,

0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:52.560
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I'm good with my with my knowledge level,

0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:55.360
<v Speaker 2>but formula one you dive in and you go, you

0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:57.080
<v Speaker 2>know what, I want more of this. I want to

0:28:57.120 --> 0:28:57.760
<v Speaker 2>know more of this.

0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:01.480
<v Speaker 6>How do we say goodbye?

0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Let's not cry because it's over. Let's smile because it happened.

0:29:08.000 --> 0:29:10.240
<v Speaker 6>I think I think we did that last season.

0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for listening.

0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:14.480
<v Speaker 6>Okay, we're gonna we're gonna cut to a quick ad

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:18.520
<v Speaker 6>break and then we're gonna come back and call Michael

0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:33.320
<v Speaker 6>at an inconvenient time to discuss his test results.

0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Hey, Michael, how's it going. Oh shit, I've been

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:41.560
<v Speaker 1>jotting this call, and I'm sorry to hear that you're

0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 1>calling to tell me how I did on the test. YEP,

0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I did bad, right, Unfortunately, Yeah, it's not it's not great, Michael.

0:29:53.760 --> 0:29:55.960
<v Speaker 1>You got a three out of ten?

0:29:56.600 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 2>What? Oh, that isn't good considering I hosted a Formula

0:30:00.840 --> 0:30:02.320
<v Speaker 2>one podcast. I should do better than that.

0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean we've we've actually heard from management.

0:30:06.040 --> 0:30:07.040
<v Speaker 2>We have management.

0:30:07.240 --> 0:30:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Apparently there's there's some you know, they want you to

0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:12.520
<v Speaker 1>do the season over.

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:14.480
<v Speaker 2>I wish we had an HR department. I could take

0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:16.120
<v Speaker 2>up some of the some of the stuff.

0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:19.320
<v Speaker 1>With you were contracted to, you know, learn and it

0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:22.600
<v Speaker 1>seems like you're you're going backwards instead of forward and

0:30:22.640 --> 0:30:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you're in your F one knowledge. They don't really understand

0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:29.120
<v Speaker 1>how that could be considering all the experts we've talked

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to and the amount of hours.

0:30:31.360 --> 0:30:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I mean explaining this to you, I

0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:36.440
<v Speaker 2>mean a lot of time is past tel management that

0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:38.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of time has passed. And also a pop

0:30:38.840 --> 0:30:41.960
<v Speaker 2>quiz what am I junior high? If you would have

0:30:42.000 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 2>told me to get ready?

0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 1>We wanted a they wanted a real picture of what

0:30:45.880 --> 0:30:48.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. Yeah, and frankly, this this bears badly on me.

0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:51.560
<v Speaker 1>As well, you know, Michael, I mean, I don't bring

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 1>this up, but this isn't a good look for me either.

0:30:53.960 --> 0:30:55.720
<v Speaker 2>It's not a good look for anybody. So what do

0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:56.840
<v Speaker 2>we have to what do we have to do?

0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately they there, it looks like they're going to ask

0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:01.680
<v Speaker 1>you to to do the season over.

0:31:01.840 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh really? All right, Well I don't know what to say.

<v Speaker 2>But also I'm at the the bike shop and you
