Your reigning world champt, your commanding the leaders. 19 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: We said, you've got a fabulously fast car. It's all 20 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 2: come together. You must feel like you're in You're in 21 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: the absolute zeitgeist at the moment. 22 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, of course last year was great, but 23 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: of course it's also about how you can try and 24 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: maintain that that level, right, because the rule changes, they 25 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: all mix it up. But luckily, you know, we stayed 26 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: competitive as a team. And yeah, at the moment, we've 27 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: won already quite a few races, so that's very positive. 28 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: But I also know from my experience that it's still 29 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: a very long long season and a lot of things 30 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: can happen. 31 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: It is a long season, twenty two rounds. It's a 32 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: hell of a life that you live. How do you 33 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 2: stay cool and calm between races? Are you able to 34 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 2: leave it at the office as it were and relax? Yeah? 35 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: I mean, of course every person is different and the 36 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: way they approach that they're off seasonal or like in 37 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: between races, like how you relax? But for me, like 38 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: I can easily switch between like race mode and just 39 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, time with family and friends for example. But 40 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: of course you learned that through the years already when 41 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: I was Gokun. Your traveling a lot, of course, that's 42 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: maybe true Europe, but you still you are in race 43 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: mode and back at the time, back to school for example, 44 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: you know, so you focus on different subjects and then 45 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: of course down formula one they all gets a bit 46 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: more intense. But the basics are the same. 47 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 3: Does anyone in your family not race a car? 48 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, well there are quite a few people, of course, 49 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,679 Speaker 1: even more from my mom's side who have been involved 50 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: with racing. So yeah, because I actually grew up with 51 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: seeing go karts and cars around me. 52 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 2: Are you do you like driving for leisure? Are you 53 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: one of those people that will go for a drive 54 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: on the weekend. 55 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: I'm actually not, of course, you know, living a Monaco, 56 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of space anyway, and quite a 57 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: bit of traffic. But of course, well when you're traveling 58 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: so much and you're racing that much, I also really 59 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: enjoy actually just being at home and let's say, if 60 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: I take the cars, it's literally just to get from 61 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: A to B or whatever, seen family or friends. 62 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 3: Pick up the shopping. Because they brought in the vestap 63 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 3: and rule because of you, because you didn't have your 64 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 3: license when you started racing, and now they've brought in 65 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 3: a rule for you because of you. 66 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, to be honest, I think age 67 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: is just a number and I don't think you need 68 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: that rule, but of course that's that's what they decided. 69 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: And now, of course you need to get these like 70 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: certain points before you even get to you can get 71 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: to Formula one. But I think are really good you 72 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what the. 73 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 3: What the h are you must be looking forward to Singapore? 74 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Singapore is always a nice place, you know. 75 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: It's a very very nice track, very difficult as well, 76 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: but of course we haven't been there in a while, 77 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: but yeah, definitely looking forward to that. 78 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: Because you can get up to the temperatures there can 79 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: be really hot. How do you how do you cope 80 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: with the heat? Many Australians love Singapore because it's an 81 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 2: easy flight for us apart from Melbourne, that's the one 82 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: we're most likely to go to. But what's it like 83 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 2: to race in Singapore in the heat? 84 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so fun. I mean the humidity is always 85 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: very high. So I think the best way to prepare 86 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: for that is doing quite a bit of heat training 87 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: to get your body used to the amount of fluid 88 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: you lose and just the amount of sweating baits to 89 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: what you're doing in the car, because it is it 90 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: is definitely one of the toughers out there, so it's good. Well, 91 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: it's very important that you prepare well. 92 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 2: How do you do heat training? 93 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: This can be by you know, putting yourself in the sauna. 94 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: You can even put a bike in there, you know, 95 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: to look at used to the heat and do a 96 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: certain amount of minutes, you know, recycling, or or even 97 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: being in a room which is a lot warmer for 98 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,239 Speaker 1: example now of course in Europe especial also monikers getting 99 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: a lot warmer, so basically run at the warmest point 100 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: of the day, you know, to just get used to 101 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: that amount of sweating. 102 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 3: And this is why you young guys do so well 103 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 3: at racing, because you don't need to go to the 104 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 3: toilet as much as us old guys. Because I can't 105 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 3: ride home on my motorbike from work to home because 106 00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: I've got to stop halfway to go to. 107 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: The your your bladder control is a bit out of control. 108 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it is, like you know, I'm didn't last 109 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 3: I don't have that young prostate anymore. 110 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that happens. That happens. 111 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, well you've got a long way to go before 112 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 3: that happens. 113 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: I'll be in the same Yeah, I'll be in the 114 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: same both at some point. 115 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 116 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 2: With with the races, I know, the Miami one earlier 117 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: this year and with Singapore and Melbourne, there's so much entertainment, 118 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,239 Speaker 2: so much that's put on. I know that in Singapore 119 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: they've got West Life and Green Day performing. Are you 120 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 2: aware of the atmosphere around you and that the theater 121 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: that comes with Formula one? Or is it you just 122 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: get in a new race, so. 123 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: Of course, I mean you see what's around you. But 124 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: I think what is important is that you just focus 125 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: on your job, right. I mean, at the end of 126 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: the day, I'm there to try and do the best 127 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: I can, try to cause win the race. But yeah, 128 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: I think you know over time you know how to 129 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: how to divide these two. 130 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you do like your gaming, so you're doing 131 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 3: very well on FIFA for the gaming. Is it true 132 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 3: that you did it for fourteen hours? 133 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: Not fourteen hours? But I do play. I mean, you know, 134 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: people forget that sometimes it can be quite lonely. You know, 135 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,679 Speaker 1: you're traveling a lot your new room and evenings sometimes 136 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: by yourself. And for me, the best way you know 137 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: to stay connected to a family but also friends, you know, 138 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,559 Speaker 1: because I also enjoy my say, racing online, but also 139 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: in general gaming. It's just you know, you put your 140 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: headset on, you connect through whatever channel you're on or 141 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: discorder whatever you know, and you're in touch with your friends, 142 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: and then fume goes by also quite quite a lot faster, 143 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: and that's nice sometimes when you're on the other side 144 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: of the world. 145 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 3: And there's an F one game, so you can actually 146 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 3: play yourself on an F one game. 147 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,559 Speaker 1: I could, but I don't want to see my ugly face, 148 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: you know it. 149 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: Don't be like that.
