Speaker 3: Good, how goes the good?

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: You have a nickname like an Australian I mean craft Crafty.

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're one of us. We're very like that. Do

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 3: you know what, It's not very inventive. We're not very

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 3: inventive in sport. We just put a y on the end,

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 3: Walley Crofty.

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: You know that's the way it goes, much the Australian way.

14
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 3: Sure we be sure, kill me Bruce.

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: That's all right.

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: These shows are right after the Australian GP, so there

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: will be lots to talk about.

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: Well yeah, because we're not starting the season in Australia.

19
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: Start and Bahrain again. We have had three races by

20
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: the time I come to Perth, and I'm kind of

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 3: banking on the fact that Martin Brundle, my co commentator,

22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: once told me that there's always something to talk about,

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 3: and there is in Formula one always something to talk about.

24
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 3: So that's kind of the theme of the show that

25
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: I might be coming back to Perth for you know,

26
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: a fourth time. But there's always something to talk about.

27
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: There's always something we haven't talked about, and let's get

28
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: some Formula one lovers together and have a good old chat.

29
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: It's it's an interactive show. We'll do lots of polls,

30
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: we'll answer lots of questions and we'll put a bit

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: of fun back in the Formula one, have a go

32
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: with some commentary and keep everyone entertained midway through what

33
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: I'm sure will still be a heat wave. Sometimes a

34
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: little bit bring THEO. Tell me what we're forty degrees

35
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: here in the UK, but that's fairly farrenheit.

36
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: That's funny, that's funny. Yeah, that's pretty startling. You're right,

37
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: there's always something to talk about. Let's talk about the

38
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: multi millionaire in the room with a wonderful skin care

39
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: James Lewis Hamilton. Any huge news going to Ferrari?

40
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: Is it? Yeah? It is huge news. Is it a surprise?

41
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: Maybe the timing is a surprise, The fact that he's

42
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: going to Ferrari, potentially ending his career at Ferrari to

43
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: me isn't a massive surprise I got back in twenty

44
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: nineteen that I thought Lewis would go to Ferrari one day.

45
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: I think he's never made any secret about his about

46
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: his respect for the team, about his love of Ferrari,

47
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: and about how you secretly envious he was of the

48
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: guys that were read on their race suits. Now and

49
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 3: you know what, I don't see any negatives in the

50
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 3: move either, you know, and I've said this on social media.

51
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: He's not leaving a winning team. I say these aren't

52
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 3: at the moment a winning team. He's looking to the

53
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 3: future and he's looking to where can he go to

54
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 3: give him one, maybe two more shots to win that

55
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: eighth World championship. And he obviously believes Ferrari is a

56
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: better place to go because in the all about the money,

57
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: although I'm sure the money is going to be quite

58
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: handy in that respect. But he can't go to red Bull.

59
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: Red Bull, you know, don't want him, and they made

60
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: that clear at the back end of last season, when

61
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: you know people close or someone close to Lewis Hamilton

62
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: did make contact with Christian Horner. So Ferrari was the

63
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: next best option on that one, and I get the

64
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 3: ceiling over the winter. Lewis thought long and hard about it,

65
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: knew he had that escape pause in his contract, that

66
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 3: the new contract he signed last year with Mercedes, and

67
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: in rather a brutal way, delivered the news to Toto

68
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: Wolf last week and whilst he sat down in Toto's

69
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: kitchen over.

70
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 4: A cover of coffee, they Yeah, we have a Judi

71
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: Shier coach is like Toso, I'm leaving, by the way.

72
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: My right hand man is in reception for your company

73
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: at the moment with a letter saying I'm going. It

74
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: was all orchestrated and done very swiftly.

75
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: David, I might be looking at it like a girl,

76
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: and maybe it's the red. But this guy, you know,

77
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: he's made a bit of cash. I don't think he's

78
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: ever going to suffer. Isn't there something about Ferrari that's

79
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: just like the sexiest kind of race car driving sounding

80
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 1: team that at one stage in your life you've got

81
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: to say, I'm with Ferrari.

82
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

83
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: I don't think you're looking at it like a girl

84
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: at all. I think you're looking at it like a

85
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: passionate race fan. In that I think you're looking at

86
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 3: someone who's whose heart and soul beats them and the

87
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: needs somewhere absolutely. I mean, what do you drive?

88
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: Drive a Master mx fie.

89
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: You should see you in the Mate's Dynamite convertible, the.

90
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: One you've gone with a little sporty Carl.

91
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: Bring anything home from Bunnings and can't fit in.

92
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: Never give me a lift anywhere.

93
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: Crafting, you can't get the golf clubs in. No, it's

94
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: a start. Five years you'll be on the Ferrari level.

95
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: I think I think we all love for We love

96
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: the history, we love the heritage, we love the fosy

97

Speaker 3: in Mons and we love everything that the brand stands for.

98
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 3: And you know what you know, as someone who has

99
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 3: been there all the way through Lewis's career, you know

100
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 3: that every win, every pole, every podium I've commentated on.

101
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: To see him the potential winning for Ferrari, Wow, that

102
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: that would just be absolutely magnificent, little boys dream, you know. Yeah,

00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: I'd like an Aston Martin and McLaren.

00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: McLaren, Yeah, I wouldn't fit in a Lambo, but yeah,

106
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: crafty Uh, I'll be looking at your with great envy,

107
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: at your Instagram lately, and I know there's you work

108
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: hard at your job and has to be right when

109
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 2: you do the job. But I see you on holidays,

110
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: I see you when the mal dives. I see you've

111
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: seen all your favorite bands. You travel the planet. And

112
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: I'm changing the saying from Life of Riley to Life

113
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: of Crofty.

114
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: How does that sound. That sounds like a brilliant idea.

115
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, now that's what it'll be.

116
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you couldn't take the late nights. That's the trouble.

117
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: The late nights.

118
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, where I'm sat at my desk coming up with stats,

119
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 4: you know, revising, smatting, trying to learn you know, the team,

120
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 4: the team colors, trying to learn the driver's helmets, all

121
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 4: that sort of thing. You know, it goes hand in hand.

122
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 4: But I did have ten very glorious days in the

123
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 4: Maldis very recently.

124
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: If it's a state team, that bright green, mate, you

125
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 2: might have any trouble with that? That looks incredible.

126
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 3: Well no, no, I went to the launch last night.

127
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: And you know, if you go on Instagram and Crofty

128
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: f one, I have plosted a picture of a mint

129
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: aero bar and said I've got some picture of the

130
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: Arrow department, and it does look a bit like that,

131
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 3: to be fair. But I'm all four. I am all

132
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 3: four teams with bright color schemes. You know. I love

133
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 3: the bit of pink on the Alpine because it shows

134
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: up really clearly. I had all the papya of the McClaren.

135
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: But the trouble we've got informally one the moment, Yes,

136
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: the mPire, it's not orange is the Pire. It's very important.

137
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: You've got to stay with a around here.

138
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 4: Now.

139
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: The trouble we've got in f one is that is

140
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: that paint is weight, and the cars are quite heavy

141
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: and the engines are very heavy, and to try and

142
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 3: like cut back on the weight. You'll see a lot

143
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: of black on cars. I mean the Mercedes is you

144
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 3: know the silver Arrow is now is now the black

145
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 3: silver Arrow. We had Solber last year Alpha going with

146
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: it with a black car for a couple of races too.

147
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 3: Because paint is weight and if you take the paint

148
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: off it does actually save a little bit of weight.

149
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 3: So Williamson has to have launched their liveries already. There's

150
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 3: a lot of exposed carbon fiber on there. I don't

151
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: like that as a compensator and as a fan, I

152
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: want something I can spot quite easily.

153
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: Well, the new season begins March two. Is anyone going

154
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: to get anywhere near Maxi Steppen this season this year?

155
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 3: Well, they'll be on the same racetrack that's near enough

156
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: to be fair the same day, starting on mill Points.

157
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 3: I think the trouble is this year, and we are

158
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: saying this before a wheel has turned. We don't know

159
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 3: what the pecking order is going to be yet. We

160
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 3: haven't seen the cars on the track. Adrian Newey to

161
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: give everyone a bit of hope, and a man who

162
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: helps design these brilliant Red Bull cars, was voicing his

163
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 3: concern that they might have they might have been a

164
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 3: bit conservative in having a third year evolution of their

165
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: current concepts on that Red Bull car and not changing

166
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 3: it and go for something a little bit different. He

167
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: feels that maybe they haven't quite got as much extra

168
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: pace as they would like because they're just it's an

169
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: iteration and eventually you stop making it go even faster

170
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: because you just can't make it go any faster in

171
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: that current concept. That will be music to the ears

172
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 3: of everyone, I'm sure, but Reble is still quite a

173
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: long way ahead, so even a conservative red Bull, you

174
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: still would have more pace than the Mercedes or the Ferrari.

175
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 3: What goes hand in hand with that Red Bull dominance

176
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 3: is the consistency that they've got too. Max hastappened barely

177
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 3: put a wheel wrong in the last couple of years.

178
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 3: His team make Sergio Perry's has had a few moments,

179
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 3: but Max hasn't. He's at the top of his game.

180
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: His team are at the top of their game on

181
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 3: the track, so there's little reason to think that things

182
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: will change. But as you know, every great movie has

183
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 3: a main plot and lots of different subplots, and on

184
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: the basis that there's always something to talk about. There

185
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: is a massive convergence from seconds, you know, down to

186
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: tenth in terms of the times on the track and

187
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: the lap times. Because with stabilizing at the moment in

188
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 3: terms of regulations, people are refining what they've already got.

189
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: Those that got it wrong the first time have now

190
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: had a couple of chances to catch up. So I

191
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 3: think that the battle for best of the rest will

192
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: be even closer for this year, and in that you know,

193
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 3: you'll see some great fights. But I do fear and

194
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: I do feel that it's all going to be behind

195
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: Max Withstappan, who it wouldn't surprise me would end the

196
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 3: season as a full time world champion.

197
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is incredible, but let's talk about the honest.

198
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: He's what about young Oscar Pstree. I mean, it was

199
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 2: a pretty handy rookie season. How do you say things

200
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: going forward for the twenty two year.

201
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 3: Old love Oscar Pstree. While everyone's talking about Lewis Hamilton

202
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 3: and that rumor that was swirling around on the day

203
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 3: side for Ferrari, Oscar Pastre tweeted, I've just been for

204
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: a rub. Did I miss anything? I love? I love

205
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 3: incentive human. He's a quiet boy that waits for the

206
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: killer bunchlines. And this is a big year for Oscar

207
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: Pastree and not a year to be feared. But I

208
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 3: think a year where he goes back to the tracks

209
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: other than China because we're racing in China once again.

210
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 3: He goes back to the tracks that he now has

211
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 3: raced at and has experience that in a Formula long

212
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: car and shows the world exactly what he can do.

213
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: And I've always been a massive fan of Oscar Pastries

214
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 3: since he came through the junior ranks. I think he's

215
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 3: done exactly the right thing. In his Formula One career.

216
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 3: So far he's won a race, albeit not a Grand Prix.

217
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: It was a sprint race. He's been on the podium

218
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 3: in Grand Prix, he's been on the front road. He

219
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 3: started a race, a sprint race out in front. I mean,

220
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 3: what more did do you Australians want from from from

221
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: your rookie last season this Australia. You probably wanted to

222
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 3: win twenty races because that's what people do. Yeah, yeah,

223
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 3: fair enough. But do you know what he and Lando

224
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 3: have got a great relationship. But Lando's got a long

225
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: term contract. Oscar's got a long term contract. They can

226
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 3: just go out and race and show the world what

227
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: they can do. And if McLaren continue the evolution that

228
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 3: we show we're shown last year, they're going to be

229
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: in a great position to be challenging right up at

230
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 3: the front. And I see nothing but a positive season

231
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: for Oscar.

232
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: What about Daniel Occada? Of course here in Perth we

233
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: are very fond of our Daniel. What's the next year

234
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: you like for him?

235
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 3: What and so you should be you know, we we do.

236
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: We think this time last year we'd be talking about

237
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: Daniel Ricard a new season in Formula One. No, we didn't.

238
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 3: We were all talking about what's he going to do

239
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 3: with his life now he's he's just a reserve and

240
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: I think it's a big year for Oscar. It's a

241
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: it's a big year for Daniel and the pressure is

242
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 3: on to show what he can do at an Alpha

243
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 3: Towery team or Visa Cash app, Alpha Raging Bulls or

244
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: whatever they're going to call themselves. Quite frankly, we'll wait.

245
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 3: We'll wait until next week where they have the the

246
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 3: end of this week where they have their launch, and

247
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: we'll work out exactly what we're going to call the

248
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 3: team formerly known as Alpha Tower, but they should be

249
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: a better team. They move their air Row department to

250
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 3: Milk Keynes with the Big Team. They've got a new

251
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: team principal of Laura Meckis, who is a super super

252
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: guy and I've got a lot of time for him.

253
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: They've got a guy in Alan Permayne as sporting director

254
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: who comes with a lot of experience as well. They've

255
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 3: got they've got other reinforcements coming to the Team of

256
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 3: the future. So he's with he's with an outfit that

257
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: are on an upward trajectory. And if he can can

258
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: go with that upward trajectory and have a good season

259
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: and Sergio Perez continue with some of his struggles, then

260
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: does he force Red Bull into a decision that needs

261
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 3: to be made that says, do we take Daniel Ricardo

262
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 3: at the big team for twenty twenty five or do

263
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 3: we take Sergio Perez? And I think there's a big

264
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: decision to be made halfway through this year that will

265
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 3: either positively for Daniel Ricardo or will be another fight disappointment.

266
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: And I don't know which way it's going to go

267
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 3: at the moment.

268
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: There you go. I think we've just recorded the Crossy Show.

269
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: We'll take that to all sides. Yeah, play it back.

270
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 3: We're only just getting going a half hours. Well, bring

271
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: a comfortable pillow.

272
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: We'll do before we let you go. There's one thing

273
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: I've always wondered, who is your favorite driver of all time, of.

274
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 3: All time, of all time? Now you're asking me a question.

275
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 3: So when I was growing up, I was. I was

276
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 3: a massive I was a massive Air Center fan. I

277
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: loved everything about it. He had it all about him too. Yeah,

278
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 3: he was and will always be cool, but a bit

279
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 3: like me. He had no respect for authority and I

280
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: rather like that he was a rebel. I was a

281
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 3: massive John Watson fan. John Watson who won the first

282
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: ever Grand Prix in carbon five on mcclan, first of

283
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 3: a carbon fiber chassis, got that win, and I got

284
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: to know John Watson, and it's been lovely to meet

285
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: your heroes in that respect of a big Nigel Mansell

286
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 3: fan as well, love Nigee, that Mustachio Maestro, and they

287
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 3: were the three drivers that kind of really dominated. They

288
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 3: dominated my early years, my teenage years and into Formula

289
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 3: one now and I tried very hard not to have

290
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: a favorite driver in Formula One currently because that's very fair,

291
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 3: yeah exactly, and you try and be positive about every

292
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: single one of them. But it's very difficult for a

293
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 3: boy from Stevenage to not have a healthy regard and

294
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 3: respect for the seven time world champion from Stevenage. You know,

295
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 3: he walks up, I talk the talk, that's how it's

296
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 3: done on that one. And I do think, you know,

297
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: the records will will back me up on this that

298
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 3: Lewis is the greatest Formula One driver ever. But obviously

299
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: when I was growing up, as he's younger than me

300
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: he wasn't on the track, so I'll go for it

301
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 3: and center on that answer. Yeah, I like that.

302
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: It looks about not thirty nine, that's for.

303
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: Sure, absolutely, but I think it's going to be a

304
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 3: brilliant season, whether Red Bull dominate or not. We've got

305
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 3: twenty four races, longest season ever. It's a massive endurance

306
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: test for absolutely everybody in the sport. You'll be able

307
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: to see all the races. I'll be as enthusiastic in

308
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 3: Bahrain as I will be an Abby, Dabby and all

309
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 3: points in between, quite frankly, and I cannot wait. I
