Remember that Top Gear episode celebrating British Motoring where a lot of the F1 cars were driven through the streets to London. Just do that just drive them all to the O2 Arena on the road. 😂

One thing I can be sure of is that I’m not using Merrill

This is a really charming podcast. Super chill. Its like a soothing balm compared to typically frenzied F1 content.

Seems pretty clear to me that Fallows just doesn't want to be 2nd fiddle to Newey again.

a DISPROPORTIONATE action has occurred .... sounds like most F1/FIA decisions the last 10 years.

Who else has to turn the volume down when Scott speaks, and stop talking about football! 😅

Think the event is great. Bring both cars. After that _PARC FERME_ and DHL will de delever the cars into the garage for testing and the race.

Thanks for the podcast! Not related but, when possible, can you please confirm or dismiss this rumor of Checo having secured further sponsorships for 2025 and we now being stuck with him for another season? Cheers!

A reaction to something that has happened in recent weeks... Like leaving cars on track when its obviously unsafe? When a driver is out of their car there is no room for discussion.

Simon Patterson really can't hide his bias against Martin. Always so dismissive of him and constantly making excuses for Bagnaia. Just accept that Martin has been the better rider this year snd deserves to win the championship instead of going on and on about ifs and buts regarding Bagnaia and crying about sprint races.

Lando is bad at starts. The Race : "Its probably a technical issue with the car"

Waaaaayyyyy too much F1 talk on here. Let’s focus on MotoGP!

I think the idea that somehow Russel and Hamilton is somehow unique in their technical feedback and 'above' other drivers, is very questionable. bit of bias if you ask me.

Its not so much that the drivers are challenging Ben Sulayem’s authority, its that they’re very pointedly saying to him that he isn’t their boss or colleague (or chum) and that F1 is a collaboration between the teams, drivers, FIA, FOM and the race promotors. If one group starts dictating things to the others, the likely reaction is friction. In the early 1980’s you had a drivers strike led by the GPDA as Balestre tried to impose fixed 3-year team-driver contracts to “professionalise” F1. He also tried to ban drivers from races who hadn’t paid fines for missing meetings etc, which ended up with races being declared unofficial (no points awarded) or boycotted by teams. This was the state of F1 during the first concorde agreement and no-one wants to go back to that time. Ben Sulayem should not depend on the concorde deal protecting him from these consequences, as Balestre found out when Moseley (the chief legal representative for the teams) eventually replaced him.

Am I the only one not impressed with the GPDA letter? I mean, those of us who live in the real world, and have real jobs, we are also not allowed total freedom in terms of dress, jewelry, language, etc, at our jobs. I always figured that was part of being an adult, you know. Having expectations placed upon you, etc.

Lol. The starts are not on Lando. "A lot going on besides the driver" Lol. You cant make this up Clowns. Last time I ever click on this BS

Fantastic. British Bias "doesnt exist" we are told by British media. And yet talking about Norris chances to win the Championship all they did was talk about how "agressive" and "determined" Verstappen (totally meaning dirty, cause then they talk about Norris "driving etiquette") is hard to beat. What about the races were the both are not involved with each other? Monzo, Hungary, Brazil horrendous starts and defense against other drivers are dirty Verstappen fault too?

Lando squandered his chance. Piastri will be McLaren’s #1 driver by the conclusion of 2025.

How exactly did Lando grow? He botched yet another crucial start at Interlagos and in the sprint he didnt sound assertive at all, he just followed orders like he always does...do you actually think sometimes about some of the stuff that you say or just spout it out regardless?

Easy fix! You CAN change tires under red BUT it doesn't count as your mandatory tire change

Loved hearing you talk about this film. It's available in full HD and free on UA-cam which is where I first watched it in lockdown 4 years ago.

I liked this Merill podcast, not sure about those F1 sponsor segments though

Only here to say how great is this pod. Always on the right spot, and the way that you two carry the stories are amazing. Awesome stuff! Greetings from Brazil!

Lmao, now changing tires on a red flag is a big deal, i wonder why. Irrigardless, max would have still won this race, lando still needed to pit once the race went green again to take off those wets. And if we do ban tire changes under red flags, then will the cars go out with the same time margins they had before the flag?

11:45 - the big impression Bortelto made was the size of his Monza win. With one lap younger mediums, after the Safety Car Shuffle he pulled out 9 seconds in 12 laps on Zane Maloney (the fastest driver in F2 TM) who was racing in Sauber colors and had seemed every bit as racey in that event. It was blistering.

Why is Lance Stroll getting a free pass for the dumbest behaviour I've ever seen in F1? His getting stuck in that gravel trap was the most absurd, brain dead thing I've seen in a good while, and the previous case was likely something else he did. Accelerating into Ricciardo at Shanghai comes to mind. He does these things, wastes everyones time, AM fans, his team, their sponsors and then he never accepts any responsibility or says sorry to the team. It's always "yeah, really weird", or "a problem with the car" or someone else did something which caused it all. He needs to go, the fans at T4 were chanting Drugovich and I wholeheartedly agree. And if Lance had sat out the Bahrain opener in 2023... I think we'd not be having this conversation because Lance's stubborn refusal to leave is probably fuelled by the insecurity that there are many who could jump in and do better almost immediately, in the same vein that Lawson and Conapinto have this season. It's a joke and if that team can even get a fraction of the performance back that they had in the first half of 2023... they need two COMPETITIVE drivers.

Sauber didn't have to pay mclaren any money for Bortoleto they let him go for free but can get him back when either norris or oscar move on.

Scott always put your health first. There is no way rhat all of this travel will help. The season is too long for people who have to go to all races. Cant be healthy

The Merrill advertisements are relentless..

Thx 🤘🏻🏁

I have had throat and mouth issues in the past that have affected my ability to speak with authority. I'm over it now, but it wasn't a fun couple of years let me tell you. Good luck to you Scott, whatever it is that ails you.

1:30

Now we’re talking 🤘🏻🏁

I disagree about the outlier results settling the lower place battles. I like it. Remember when Minardi or Bianchi in the Virgin got points... those were huge result which mean the world to those teams, and the same for Alpine in this case. The reason this tastes like sour grapes it's because Alpine is a team that should be in this position on its own merit and not have to rely on one big results like this. The fact that Audi/Sauber and Alpine are at the back isn't the same as when a team like Stewart or HRT are scoring the odd point here and there.

In my opinion they need to change the pit Stop rules so it is one mandatory pit stop that includes a tyre change instead of the current system, which allows for this situation where drivers are putting off pitting in the assumption that a stoppage is about to occur. At least this way they can still change tyres during a red flag but then those who still need to stop have the rest of the race to do so, they could do it later on or immediately after the restart... who knows. I do think however that there is a possibility of teams then doing the exact opposite to now, where the pets immediately in order to get the tire change done before the Red Flag comes out, but that's a risk worth taking in my opinion.

Why you lying? If max was handed a sprint win, it certainly wouldn't be a non event or a "1" on the scale Oh and very interesting "piastris race was compromised", so letting lando through was good and right. Atleast try to hide your bias

Where were you guys at the Sao Paulo post race press conference?

"So many places to be, so little time" defence from the Race? Who agrees?

It's gotta be emphatic for Ed

I don't remember you guys had this red flag discussion after Miami, when Norris had the same 'luck' Remember the reaction 'if my mother had balls, she would be my farther'

If you cause the red flag and get to repair the car and get to grid start from the sector classification. HAM at GBR'21? Where was the big stink from the GBR press and fans back then about the red flag rules?
