WEBVTT - MINI: Formula 1

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Got anything good. Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Big big weekend for Melbourne all over the world. Actually,

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>obviously there were Footy was back, a proper back where

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 1>we all understand it being back, even though some teams

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 1>had played in the mysterious round which will forever be

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>forgotten about but moaned about for the rest of the season.

0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Now it's good into folklore, this almost mythical. Now round

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>zero Haporne had already won two games before most teams.

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Now the Giants too, They go, no, that Giants, of

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>course played last weekend. Oh yeah. And then obviously around

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>the world there would have been formerly one fans tuned

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>in to watch the Melbourne Grand Prix. Now I don't

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>know a lot about the Grand Prix and F one,

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 1>but I have friends of mine who were there yesterday

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.879
<v Speaker 1>and it's like the highlight of the day year that's

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>right here in Melbourne and Sunday morning. I was texting

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>them and saying, now, what a nightmare about the rain

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>and they were going, no, it's even better, and I'm like,

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand your sport. Now Lockee works on the show,

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:05.039
<v Speaker 1>is really into this. So was yesterday a great race?

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>On why yesterday was a great.

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Race because we started back in Melbourn, which we haven't

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 2>done for a few years. So it's opened up the

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>whole season.

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Wait, I thought it was in Melbourne.

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Every year.

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>You're starting the kind of what Grand Slam? What have

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>they have?

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it started, we don't usually, well it's always started

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.119
<v Speaker 2>in Melbourne, and then for the last couple of years

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 2>it hasn't just because they do all the testing over

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 2>in Bahrain and that's where they start.

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>They've had their own version of Round zero.

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they were back in Melbourne, and so we've had

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of rookies and then we've had three days

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.680
<v Speaker 2>of thirty degree sunny and all of a sudden the

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 2>race starts and it's rain. So everything goes out the window.

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 2>All the tires strategies go out the window and it's

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 2>just chaos.

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Do they have then all come back in to have

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the tires changed to the slicks or whatever they're called.

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's therein lies the question, Christian, when do you

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 2>come in for slicks and do you stay out? And

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 2>so you can lose the store as.

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Long as he is. My wife has always seems to

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 1>me come home now for slicks, I'm like, I'm staying out.

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 2>No, Well, you can lose. You can honestly lose fifteen

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 2>seconds per lap. And so if her pit stops takes

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 2>you thirty seconds and you stay up for two laps,

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 2>so you shouldn't you should have come in. So you're like,

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 2>well that I shouldn't come in because it's gonna takes

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 2>so long. And so the teams, it honestly becomes like ice.

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 2>If they're on the wrong tire at the wrong time,

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 2>you're just sliding off the truck.

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>There's so much signs to it.

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Isn't there, and so you can have the fastest car,

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:30.959
<v Speaker 2>but if you're on the wrong tire, so being on

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the right tire at the right time is critical. So

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 2>when Ferrari stayed out with Lewis, yeah, it wasn't the

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>right call. And it's always twenty twenty hind sight, So

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 2>whose call is it? I imagine in the movie version,

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 2>the team's like, come in, we need you come in

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 2>change those tires.

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>He's like, I'm not coming in one more lamp and

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.520
<v Speaker 1>then the pit boss site throws those headphones out there

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 1>go he's out of control and we should have fired

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>him that season, and then he wins it though.

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 2>They have strategists and they also have huge teams back

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 2>over in the UK, so they've got you know, for

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 2>every one person there.

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.079
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean with the time difference on blurry

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 1>eye is Sunday morning? There some hungover pol Milton Keynes

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:16.119
<v Speaker 1>in some factory tell the millionaire to come in.

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that happens, but they're iconically Ferrari for the fast

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 2>past couple of years have been atrocious with their strategy

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 2>calls and Lewis with his first year with Ferrari this year,

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 2>he found out pretty quickly what that's like.

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>So what happened to the Australian kid? Did he have

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>a good chance of winning?

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 2>So we had two Australian kids. Jack dilm was also racing,

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>but he on the first few corners, well he just

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 2>hit a bit of line and bit of marker that

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 2>was on the road and binder.

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you think a local lad would know albit part

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>pretty well?

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, I know it's local is as Oscar, but yeah,

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Oscar unfortunately was on the wrong typet the right time,

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>wrong time as well. Lando kept it on the road,

0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Oscar backed it into the grass. He did keep it

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 2>going though, which were phenomenal, So the roar of the

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 2>crowd when he actually just got it back on and

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>for him to salvage two points, there is a move on.

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>I think it's turned nine and ten. If you want

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 2>to go back and watch it overtaking Lewis Hamilton, I.

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Won't actually any sport. I've got to go and worry

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 1>about turn nine fast for three hours an hour? What

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>is that little progress bar even during a footie game

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 1>is two hours though, eighteen hours of racing to get

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>through to find what turn nine No.

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 2>They're doing one hundred and sixty k is now a

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 2>very small corner around Lewis Hamilton, world champion on the

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 2>last lap to get two points is phenomenal, but he'll

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:40.719
<v Speaker 2>be very disappointed that he didn't.

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>So for race fans, this was an epic opening for

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 1>a season.

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Chaos and we love it.

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then tell me this. I saw this really

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>beautiful clip of Lewis Hamilton's dad, who's been by Lewis's

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 1>side since he was like five years old, hugging some

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.039
<v Speaker 1>young rookie. What had happened? Yeah?

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Nine again, No, this is before the race, it even

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 2>well started. So they're doing the formation lap and Isaac,

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 2>what's the formation lap?

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Is that whether all cars are stacked up in like

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>a pyramid, No.

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 2>You're all, we're all grid. Well, everyone's up on the

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 2>grid and they go around just to get the tires warm.

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 2>So there's not absolutely chaos.

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>In the first sport is sport.

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 2>On the first lap they had to come in and

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 2>change their tires, so they have to formate again.

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>They've got warm the tires.

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Now that happens sometimes, Yeah, you have to come in

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 2>and do it, just change tires and start again, or it's.

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.840
<v Speaker 1>All this is why the's lost. You then just change

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>your boots.

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 2>The way is changed how they have a tire warmer

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 2>in the pits warmers. But yeah, Isaac hadger lost it

0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.719
<v Speaker 2>before the race and even started. And as it takes

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 2>so much money and luck and skills just to get

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 2>into the race, into Formula one. So from Formula three

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>to two to one first race didn't even get to start,

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 2>oh no, and.

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>So he was That's why Lewis Hamilton's stands just giving him.

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm still none the wise about the sport or don't

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>know is tied. Christian O'Connell Show Podcast
