when this podcast goes huge I want everyone to know that I was here since the beginning
great job guys, very entertaining and easy to understand, learning more and more about the f1 together with you
thank you and keep going fools!
I think I need to support Haas, I was really convinced by that guy. What a great salesman
great ep once again fellas. nothing to critique this week................
You should do a segment where you do a short overview of a historic season, include major events and controversies, championship deciding mistakes or strokes of genius and any other important information around the season
Great episode lads, the tyre strategy talk can get quite deep especially when you start throwing in things like red flags allowing tyre changes "for free" and wet weather removing the two compound requirement. Definitely a complex topic to cover in such a short timeframe. I've always remembered the description that track surface abrasion is like running a pencil rubber over different grits of sandpaper and comparing how much of the rubber is removed by each grit. That tends to explain why there are some circuits you see a lot more tyre marble build-up off the racing line at some circuits over others.
Some changes since last time out in China, a lot has happened in five years (non exhaustive list):
Toro Rosso changed names to Alpha Tauri and now Visa Cashapp RB (but I refuse to call them that)
Alfa Romeo are now Kick Sauber
McLaren were racing with Renault engines and were... quite shit
Aston Martin was Racing Point with the BWT Sponsorship and the pink cars
Williams was still owned by the Williams family with Claire Williams as Team Principal
Ricciardo has gone from Renault, to McLaren, to out of a seat, to Toro Rosso
Gasly went from Red Bull, to being demoted to Toro Rosso and replaced by Albon, to now at Alpine
Albon went from Toro Rosso, to replacing Gasly at Red Bull, to out of a seat being replaced by Perez, to Williams
Perez has moved from Racing Point to Red Bull as Vettel replaced him in the change to Aston Martin
Alonso went from out of the sport in 2019 (he went to WEC to race LMP1's), to Alpine in 2021 replacing Ricciardo after he moved to McLaren, to Aston Martin to replace Vettel
The first season of Drive to Survive debuted in March on Netflix in the leadup to the 2019 season
Prior to Chinese GP 2019, Max Verstappen only had five Formula 1 race wins in his career, as of April 12th 2024 after the Japanese GP he has 57
Reckon that the crashes have indeed cost Williams millions, as this will be the second chassis they have had to send back to England.
And then Charlie the colocate fact-checker said the $2,000,000 cost :D
