Hello everybody, and welcome back to the B1 podcast with Matt and Sami Driver ratings. It is officially back. I know you've all been just absolutely chomping at the bit to come and disagree with us with whatever we grade every single 22 of the Formula One drivers out of 10.

3:07Tommy, how excited are you that this series is back? And I think it might well be more difficult than ever. I think it's the most difficult one I've ever done. We'll learn a bit more as we go throughout the season like everyone is going to in these regulations. But yes, it's certainly going to be difficult, but that also means disagreements and differing opinions, which is what makes this series fun. And a lot of variables as well. At this point, it is hard to know what all of the drivers have gone through as a driver, what's the bad tree, what's that? So take the ratings as always with a pinch of salt and we'll get into the news, shall we? So let's begin with a different driver to normal. Of course, we have 22 and we're going to start with Sergio Perez, qualified 18th, finished 16th. My grade for Sergio Perez is a six out of 10. I think it's perfectly reflects a better than straight down the middle performance this

4:14weekend. You out qualified Bottas or be it, here we go, variable number one of 3000 is that Bottas had some problems in qualifying with shock, the battery, which cost him a lot of time. But still, I have to say that you know, Perez finished the race in a Cadillac. He battled Liam Lawson, he gave, I saw some great quotes already. Between Lawson and Perez, absolutely phenomenal. Back and forth already, Lawson basically saying, I don't know why we're fighting like it's for the World Championship when it's for 16th and Perez was like, well, I just kind of wanted to fight. So I'm kind of more with Perez on this one than the fact that it's a race and if they're fighting for a position, then fight for position. So yeah, I mean, look, you can't really do much more with Cadillac right now, but a six out of 10, I feel quite comfortable with. That's what I'm going for. I have gone for a six out of 10 as well for Sergio Perez. I completely agree with you. You have to go for more than straight down the middle for Sergio Perez because the fact

5:16that he's had a good qualifying, he's finished the race, the fact that he's battling anyone in a car like that, albeit the fact that Lawson obviously had the problem at the start, which is why I was further back. But the fact that he's able to, you know, be racing other cars, he's got it to the finish. I think a six out of 10 is definitely what it should be. We need more Perez Lawson to head to head. That's what I'm saying. I need every single race weekend because it is so, so good. I think Lawson also said something about the fact that Perez isn't over it, which I think is just crazy. Okay, the beef continues. The fans gave Perez a five out of ten. Valtteri Bottas qualified 19th did not finish. I've gone for a five out of 10 fell to Bottas. I feel like Cadillac could be getting a lot of fives this, because they're on their own, essentially. It's a new car, they're learning a lot. It feels like the car is falling apart a lot of the time. Both of them had their mirrors fall off in practice, bits falling off here and there.

6:22I was going to joke that they didn't need them because there's no one behind them, but I guess when they're being... Oh, yeah, true. They need it for the blue flags. But yeah, Bottas, it's hard to give him. You can't give him any worse because the cars are not there at the moment. He had problems in qualifying. Obviously broke down in the race as well. He did indeed. I've gone for a five out of ten for Bottas as well. Again, plagued with problems qualifying, as I mentioned, on the Perez grade. He experienced basically derating. Super non-super, I guess, super clipping is bad. So if it's like a... I'm not even going to try and come up with a word for it, but for Bottas, yeah. It's very hard to grade, of course, he DNFed as well, but I'm going to go for a five because I don't feel like I should give him any lower than that, just purely because he was having problems throughout the entire weekend. At the fans, they agree. They've gone for a five as well. Franco Collapinto qualified 16th, finished 14th.

7:23Now, I know some of you might well have gone for a ten out of ten for Franco for avoiding Liam Lawson, which is reactions very much cat-like. I have gone for... Do I actually grade him higher because he missed Liam Lawson? I don't... I'm going to give him a six out of ten for Franco Collapinto. It's going to be five, but let's give a nod to the fact that he showed unbelievable reactions to avoid Liam Lawson, which then, of course, put him on the back foot because he essentially smashed into the wall a little bit, trying to avoid Liam. So I wouldn't say it's the best weekend for Franco overall, considering the hype around Alpine coming into this season, but his teammate still managed to get a point, so I can't go any higher than that. Of course, got outqualified by him as well, but I feel like he also had some problems in qualifying shock. But I'm going to give him a six because there has to be a nod for the lap one.

8:26I have gone for a five out of ten for Franco Collapinto. No, not from Tommy. No. We do have to take into account just to clear up some confusion that his Collapinto and Go Penalty, which was, of course, a stop-go penalty, wasn't anything to do with that start that we saw where he made that amazing save. It was because someone was on the... It was to do with the start, but just not the actual thing. Because I think what was confusing was we saw that, but we never heard about the incident, and then we saw that incredible footage and thought, is it something to do with that? But it wasn't. But that save was absolutely incredible, amazing reactions to avoid it. And unfortunately for him, his penalty that wasn't his fault for the mechanic being working on his car just before the start has undone a chance of anything brilliant in the race, but he was off his teammate, Gasly, in qualifying, and the race. So I'll go straight down the middle with a five.

9:27Okay, the fans gave Franco a five out of ten as well. Pierre Gasly qualified 14th, finished 10th. I've gone for a seven out of ten for Pierre Gasly. It's a good result for Gasly, but they struggled a bit more than I expected. Maybe I expected more from Gasly this weekend. I know the Alpine didn't look as good as we thought, but it is a much better car. I'm also amazed he did not get a penalty for the Ocon collision. That seemed like quite the move with quite big contact, which he got damage from and floor damage, but you can argue it was kind of his own doing with quite an aggressive move. And got a point for Alpine, which I think is a good result considering after qualifying, they were much further down than we expected. Yeah, I am going to go for an eight out of ten for Pierre Gasly scoring a point in a pretty

10:29chaotic race in a car that perhaps didn't deserve to be there. Of course, there are DNFs and things that have occurred with other drivers, but at this stage of the season, you've got to kind of give the plaudits to drivers that have done pretty well in what I would say, Alpine is maybe the seventh, eighth fastest car at the moment. So, I've gone for an eight out of ten. He fought Ocon really hard, really hard indeed. Don't know whether it was penalty worthy, it was very much on the line, it could have gone either way. He got away with that. He still had damage to his front wing and was able to hold off Ocon after that little little wheel-to-wheel action. So, yeah, I think scoring a point in the first race of the season is a very good performance from Gasly. The fans gave him an eight as well. Gabrielle Bauteleto, qualified tenth, finished ninth. Bauteleto is receiving an eight out of ten from me as well. I think that Audi, you know, I look at the results and I think I feel like Bauteleto

11:33could have finished seventh with the pace in the car of that Audi. It went for a two-stop strategy, which was an aggressive one. But at the same time, I do genuinely put the car performance of Audi up in that sort of best of the rest area, maybe slightly behind VCar over one lap, but still a really great start to the season for Bauteleto, qualifying in P10, you know, making Q3 and then having that problem with the car, of course, but then still had a very solid race and just missed out behind Limblad in the end. I have gone for an eight out of ten for Gabrielle Bauteleto. Of course, the difficulty to judge here is that his teammate didn't do the race. But the fact that he managed to, you know, Gabrielle managed a great qualifying to get into Q3 even though his car then broke down itself and a good result as well, but could have even been higher at the end, but a great start for Audi and he's delivered a strong

12:35points finish, so gone for an eight out of ten. The fans also gave Gabrielle Bauteleto an eight out of ten. Nico Holcombberg, qualified eleventh, did not start. This one, I think, has to be a NA because he can't be rated. He was closely too meant qualifying and didn't start due to basically a car fault that was not his fault. I disagree, I'm giving him a ten, no, I'm not. But I think that to clear things up to make sure everybody's clear of what we're going to do with this, yeah, if a driver does not start due to their own due to not their own doing, then they'll get a not applicable and NA because I think that's the best way to not skew the averages across the whole season. That being said, it's not as clear cut as it's sometimes. I think if I look back to the staff and in Austria, where he got yeeted at turn three, at what point do we, where do you think the line will be Tommy when it comes to NA's

13:36or we're going to have to do this as we go? I don't think it's a black and white thing, is it because you have a situation. Fans were jumping to the comment section about, oh, well, it's honey, it's much for staff. I was one of those people talking, I'm kidding, I'm not, but we're just trying to. Well, I think at the end of the day, if I'm trying to think of, let me just single out one random driver and say, if Lance Stroll, of course, you've singled out Lance Stroll. Qualifies pole in an Aston Martin and then breaks down. You kind of almost feel like it's unfair to give him a non-applicable grade because he's got pole in an Aston Martin. Well, when we say breaks down, can we be clear on that as well? It's not just breaks down during the race, but for the race. His car. Well, no, because breaking down halfway through the race is still a gradeable thing. We're talking about pre-race. No, pre-race. Obviously, it breaks down the race. Let's be very, because the terms of conditions here, Tommy, people care very much about that. I know, and I don't really understand why, because it's sort of just like a case basis. I know. It's like we say with penalties, no two instances of the same.

14:39We have to have our aid to the ground, Tommy. Anyway, so we're going to go with an NA for the cold in the day. I don't know how you can argue. And whenever Max for satin has a bad race, we'll also give him an NA. Right, let's go to Esteban Ocon, qualified 13th, finished 11th, my grade 4 Esteban Ocon, is a 6 out of 10. It may feel slightly harsh, but then again, he finished 11th. I think this one, probably one of the performances around going, wow, how has he finished out of the points? Because he had a phenomenal start, qualifying, of course, qualified by Bermann. But his start, he got up to about eighth, didn't he? It was a head of Bermann at the beginning, and it was a head of Bermann. And then ended up finishing near on 25 if not more seconds behind Bermann come the end. And the most crazy thing to me was listening to his post-race interview, where he said that himself and Bermann don't have the same car.

15:39And then went on to describe that there's issues with his car, issues with Bermann's car that don't match up in terms of how they're feeling it. But I found that wild. Drivers never say, unless they genuinely believe it, that their car is any different to their teammates. So, I still gone for a 6 because it was a good performance, but to not score any points when he was running so high in a hast that clearly had potential to score big, it was a missed opportunity. Yeah, I've gone for a 6 out of 10 for Espanolcon, as well. Yeah, head of Bermann before the VSC obviously, he stopped in the earlier VSC, but there's still kind of no excuse that his pace towards the end compared to his teammate, and he really could not do what his teammate managed and it's slightly concerning, not really sure what is going on with Espanolcon at the moment, because he himself said, you know, it feels like the same as last year, and that's what we were kind of seeing with Ocon

16:39towards the end of last year, where he didn't see him on his teammate's pace. So, it's going to be a very interesting one to watch, I think, that and how that dynamic continues, because, yeah, maybe the first sign of a bit of frustration from Ocon, their post-race. For sure. I hope for his sake, he's able to bounce back, a big fan of SD Bestie, as we all know. So, fingers crossed for him, he can sort out these problems, but he'll need to do it quick, otherwise they'll start to be a bit of pressure on him, I think, come later parts of the season. The fans gave Espan a six out of ten, as well. Oli Bermann, qualified 12th, finished 7th. I've gone for a nine out of ten for Oli Bermann, a fantastic result to start the season. I think after qualifying, when he was 12th, I'd have been very surprised if he'd finished the race in seven. This is the kind of pace we were expecting from Haas, but they didn't really show it in qualifying, and then in the race, yes, he was one of those that managed to jump in

17:42the pits with a few other drivers before they closed that pit lane for the Bottas incident, but it doesn't take anything away from the fact that his pace was great at the end, and he was, you know, so rapid towards the end, he got all the way back up, and to finish basically best of the rest, so a really good start for Oli Bermann to the season and big points on the board for Haas. Absolutely. I was deliberating between two numbers here, but I'm going to go with a nine out of ten. I think that qualifying there was a little bit left on the table, potentially, then again, all teams and drivers are... So an eight in a nine or a ten? Nine or a ten. Nine or a ten. Oh, really? Wow, a ten. Yeah, I mean, he comprehensively won the midfield battles, so what more could he possibly have done? Is my question on a Sunday, finished seven seconds, clearly, I'm glad. What would you downgrade him on then to potentially even put him down to an eight? It's just not a ten drive, is it? Like, it's a great drive, but it's not. We're talking ten out of ten drives, but I didn't see that at all.

18:46So they've deliberated it, and then I said no. Well, no, I just can't see a ten there at all, personally, but... That's fine. That's the beauty of drive ratings, we all have our opinion. Exactly. If I look back... If I look back to other driver ratings, previously, we've given tens to top of the midfield performances, and yeah, I think that has came into this race as the sixth fastest team behind VCarb, and Oli Berman has managed to beat Limblad pretty, as I say, comprehensively, but I've gone for a nine, because Saturday there was a little bit left on the table, and yeah, if I'd given a ten, apparently Tommy would have stopped the podcast. So I downgrade as well, I mean, his start, like you mentioned, like Ocon was well clear at the start, he dropped down. You could argue that Berman had the better strategy in being able to stop later the knock-on. You know, that's why I wouldn't give it a ten, but... That's fine. But you haven't... Last time I checked, it was my grade, so... Well, you asked me. Oh, a whole new season of this. I love it.

19:47I love it. It's the fate of the whole, like, of every driver's Oli Berman. Oli Berman. Well, yeah. Let's wait until he comes up. The fate. But the fans gave him a nine as well. Amazing how we agreed on that grade, and yet fought. Yeah, no. That's two fights already this season. One about Charlotte Klo Good Surprise. Now, Oli Berman, like, is this the year of just us? Disagreements. Going at it, I hope so. I really hope so. I really hope so. I really hope so. I really hope so. I really hope so. That's what I care about. Right, let's move to the next driver. Lance Stroll, started in 2020, he said he didn't actually qualify, and then he didn't finish. This is the hardest team to grade, because we're not... Can you not give an NA for someone that did, like, 60 laps, though? Well, yeah, he literally technically crossed the finish line at the end, even though he was 15 laps down. Yeah. Or 12 laps down, I think it wasn't the... I don't know. I think it was 15. It was 15 laps or in the next driver.

20:49The first driver to finish 15 laps down, since 16 laps down. 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. So, I've gone for a five, because I'm grading free practice four for them. This is, like, if we did driver ratings for Genuine Friday running. This is what does feels like, for Aston Martin, at least for Lance Stroll, we get off to Fernando Alonso shortly. I've gone for a five, because, well done. You actually drove round. You took? I mean, the funniest thing about that, is Lance Stroll. después de el mes de la semana, fue que el rato es un rato grande que circulamos. Es el perfecto de la nación. Así que es que el rato de la nación tendrá un rato. El rato de la nación es un rato de la nación. Sí, por ejemplo, el rato de la nación tendrá un rato de la nación. Es muy difícil que el rato de la nación no se fue qualificando. Y se fue su propio rato, pero él no hizo nada. El rato de la nación, o el rato de la nación. Bueno, él no hizo nada. Y él también hizo un rato de la nación.

22:14Sin philosophy como asleepa, no sea ser diavemente. Las minφο las min所as, el rato sueldo control coupé, se lo quede, así que yo pe él ha hecho, él aún ha hecho, y el gran driver puede hacer eso. Hemos visto esto con muchos drivers en el grito, Max en el Tarosso, Charlotte Clara de Selber. Así que, como vamos, ¿no hay nada que hacer en los cargos? El gran driver ha hecho algo. Y la factura de Alonso, ya, casi, Somehow, ha cambiado a Q2. Sí, desde un montón de fortunes, pues el gran driver ha estado. Yo estoy emocionando a la factura, a la verdad, que es la verdad, pero para decir que han habido

23:16un gran crónico de Q2 en el gran 3. Pero es una verdadera información. Es la factura de Charlotte Clara. Sí, el gran driver ha estado. Ah, yo me he hecho. Es verdadera. ¡Es una verdadera información! Pero es no impresive. Porque la verdadera cadáverla en cada uno de los cargos no ha hecho parte. Sí, pero él ha hecho un gran crónico. El gran driver ha hecho... El gran driver no ha hecho la verdadera. Eso es el gran borde. Cuando se ha hecho lo que ha hecho. Sí, sí, sí, sí. El gran cargos, eso es un gran crónico. Wow, God, he concierto. Ya, ok, es funny que hay que deliberar si hay 6 o 7 porque ya he gone por 7 out of 10 por Fernando Alonzo. Ok, 7, no, no, no, no, no. Don't you dare, ¡y you sit with your 6 and you lock that in! Who is the fanboy of Fernando Alonzo in this podcast? He has gone for a 7, because his first part of that race was absolutely brilliant. The first couple of laps was awesome to watch. Alonzo, putting himself in P10, it is ridiculous. There is part of me, no evidence to suggest this whatsoever. que he como, ha habido el fultanco al frente y... y ha justo, eso no se está a gustar la pítsara al sumpo. Entonces le hizo un fully ...

24:17voy a intentar hacer algunas relaciones y va a estar en la pítsara. 笑ó un poco de puente y se fue muy respulada. Y se entendió para su desfe�ении. Bueno, bueno, no. Bueno, no... Pero es tan bueno que vemos. Él no fue frente a las salidas, celular, está teniendo, o fue todo debido, y esa es el ponando en un onzo que ya nos hemos visto. en el frente, así que he hecho un 7, porque eso era un standout, una cosa cool que se hace, así que hay que ir. ¿Estás a ver si te ha ido interjetando con el 9? No, no hay que dar una 7 ahora, pero aunque no, no sé. Es como un 6.5, pero no tengo 1 1 1, es la primera 1, a ver, no hay muchas cosas que que se puede hacer en ese caso, probablemente, así que, vamos a ver. Ok, te voy a mirar. La primera, el primer editor en el momento de reaccionar, donde se transforme a los juegos, los fans, no sé, 5 out of 10, Fernando Alonzo, el mismo es el lanzador. Es disgusting.

25:17Es disgusting. Ok, Tommy, vamos a comenzar, vamos a comenzar, vamos a comenzar, vamos a comenzar. Este mensaje es cortado por Apple Card. Es un gran tiempo para aplicar un Apple Card.

I'm going to give him a 10 out of 10. Availability is getting a 10 straight up.

30:26Straight out the blocks, lock it in. It's beautiful. It's wonderful. I'm factoring in here that is literally his first race. That is his first race in his F1 career. And this is the beauty of our driver ratings. It's the beauty of us all having an opinion. It's that some people will just look at a driver's race no matter what their background is and give them a grade. I think what we do is try and factor in external things as well, like experience, like whatever it might be. And that's what I'm doing with this, because I think if it was any other driver, it's a 9 out of 10. Great performance, great start of the season. I think for lindblad, he put himself up to third place at the start of the race. And that, to be fair, before that, is worth mentioning. Great qualifying, missed out on the final run, but ultimately still got into Q3 in his first F1 race. And then to be completely and utterly fearless to get stuck in with the top drivers. Yes, he fell back. Of course, he's going to fall back.

31:27Ultimately got beaten by Berman. But I've been so impressed by his first week in Formula One that I have to give him a 10 out of 10. So if you disagree, I respect your opinion, but I don't care. I don't, it has to be a 10 out of 10. I've gone for a 10 for lindblad, easily a 10. I think, yes, there is a bit of rookie tax on there. It's not even rookie tax. It's first race tax. The guy has never done a Grand Prix start before. And he made it into third on the first lap. How many rookies have we seen take their front wing off or do silly things at the start of races? We saw it last year and it was wet. So it's a different circumstances. But these are crazy, difficult cars with so much going on. Drivers having issues here there, not having their batteries charged, not been able to do it. It is, there's a lot there. And yes, he's come in and maybe it helps him the fact that he's not had the other cars to learn. And it's a new way of driving. He just goes straight in and this is what Formula One is to him.

32:29But you can't take anything away from the fact that there's an 18-year-old making his very first race. He's got to third at the start. Had an unbelievable race, finished eighth. Yes, it's disappointing that he got pipped by bare men at the end. But it's an absolutely brilliant drive, really, really good. When you say about not taking anything away from him, the fans did 9 out of 10. There you go, 9 out of 10 for first drive, his career. Let's go to Liam Lawson, qualified eighth, finished 13th. Ooh, I've gone for a five out of 10 for Liam Lawson. It's tough because all his work was undone by the slow start, which again, is it the driver that's stalling? Is it the cars with the battery issues and stuff? I looked into this and there's no kind of clear explanation of if it was him or the car. The team haven't mentioned anything.

33:30So it's tough. It's a tough way to start the season because the V-carb has looked strong. And the fact that he's managed to, despite looking on the back foot compared to his teammate, did that qualify him. But then he's just had a race to forget down in 13th. When his teammate is the one that's really Sean and put an impressive result. So I've gone for a five for Lawson. OK, I am going to give Liam Lawson the benefit of the doubt. And I'm going to give him a six out of 10 for his performance. A great qualifying, similar to his teammate. Obviously outqualified him. And that had a few problems. But still, again, nothing to take away from Lawson. Then as for the start, yeah, I'm not going to downgrade him for that. I think it's at least in my opinion. It's tough, isn't it, because we're so used to stalling being a driver error, but you just don't know if that is in these cars that it seems like some people have just knocked off the line. And it's a car issue.

34:31So I'm kind of grading him on the fact of like he was 19th, I think, was he at the end of the first lap? So 18th, 19th towards the back. And then he's managed to get back up to 13th in the midfield car. So that's what I've gone for a six, because if this happens every single weekend, then we'll have to maybe talk about it. But for now, it's not been made clear exactly, at least unless I've missed it, why that happened at the start and whether it was a driver error or not. So I'm going to lean on the side of caution with this one, because, or on the side of caution, because these are brand new cars. And I think these drivers are talented enough to not be doing that kind of stuff, especially like it wasn't a full-blown stall. He was crawling and he had no power, and it was bizarre. So the fans, however, disagree. Gone from a four out of ten for Liam Lawson. Carlos Sines, qualified, well, didn't qualify, but started 21st and finished the race in 15th. What a painful start to the season again for Sines.

35:33If you think last year, it was bad at the start of his Williams tenure. I don't know why I've just used that word. I've never said that word before in my life. But for this year, again, not just the race, but barely was out on track the entire weekend. And that's sad to see for one of the drivers of the season last year. But I've gone for a five, because he went out there and he didn't crash, and he had loads of problems. Some great circulation again. It quite literally was another Aston Martin circulation, but then he didn't even hardly circulate for most of the weekend. So I'll go for a five. I've gone for a five as well for Carlos Sines, another driver that's so difficult to grade, and you can't really punish him for all the issues that he's had, because that's not his fault, but equally, he can't give him an amazing grade because unfortunately for him... So he had really well, not an Aston. Yeah, exactly. So they were just so anonymous Williams really this weekend.

36:36And it's hard to say, because he also had a front wing problem during the race as well. And it does remind me, as you said, of last year and how everything just seemed to go wrong for him. So hopefully that's not the case. And he's got all his gremlins out of the way early. Now, completely unrelated, but I want to just very quickly talk about this, because I know I'm gonna forget to talk about this unless I do it now. And that is... And we didn't talk about this in the main race podcast. I don't think we actually spoke about it at all in the watch long unless we might have done it. It was like three, 15 in the morning when we started talking. So maybe I've just forgotten. The intervals. Why are they done to one decimal place, all of a sudden? Oh, I've got a controversial opinion on that one, so you can get into it. Oh, oh, you've got a controversial opinion, okay? Yeah. Well, first and foremost, I'm gonna say mine, and then we're gonna maybe argue again. Yeah. I don't like it. I like the thousands and the hundreds and the other one. So for me, that's the same as what you'd see at a track

37:39where they just go 2.9, 2.5, 2.1, whatever. I like the fact that I don't know, it's weird. Maybe it's just change. Maybe it's, I actually did test the fact it's only to one decimal place. I know it's literally a 10th. Like you can't really tell much from it, but I don't know, I like the little updates that you get, maybe it's a low point one or a high point one, very, very small criticism, but I just wanted to talk about it because it is a change and it's something that we've not seen. I don't know the last time we saw it to one decimal place, considering all of qualifying is to the normal. Yeah, I saw a lot of people getting very irate about this. I didn't even really notice it in the race, which probably suggests that I didn't really care that much and it didn't bother me. In qualifying, you absolutely have to go to those decimal places because the gaps are a lot closer and it means so much more because every millisecond counts in qualifying because it can change a position.

38:39In a race, I'm fine with the timing tower looking a lot cleaner and ditching two numbers that don't really mean a lot when you can still see that someone's 0.7 behind so they're within the kind of, oh my god, I nearly caught it, attack mode. We are literally becoming formulary. And change, to be able to have the overtake mode and the button, so yeah, I personally, I don't see why this is such a big issue. But if you were 22 cars now on the timing tower, I think you need to simplify as much as possible. And I'm not against it. I think the two numbers missing by literally three races will have forgotten it even exists. Disagree, I'm looking at it right now, it's angering me. So I get the people that are angry that's gone. Because I know we're saying it's 22 drives on the grid, but that's long ways that it's white, wide ways.

39:40But it is a case of why was it even needed in the first race? Is it because, because when they do the intervals, usually it's just the numbers, right? Even if they're at someone's lap down, I'm pretty sure they show the gap. Is it because they think the back markers are going to be so far behind that they're going to be like hundreds of seconds and it's going to be too big so they've had to shorten the end. So like, you know, Cadillac being 204 seconds, because I don't know. I mean, yeah, like if it's, I'm just, I'm just a bit balling, but it's, yeah, I don't know. It's, I don't mind it. I'm looking at it now and, OK, this is the number one thing wrong with football right now. Of all you watched, everyone's going to be, have all you watched in that race and harvesting and super clipping. Right, let's head to Alex Albon, qualified 15th finished 12th. I've gone for a six out of 10 for Alex Albon. A P12 is very anonymous, but he's delivered, you know, a slightly better than straight down the middle grade,

40:43like a few people have done this weekend. And I don't think, correct me if I'm wrong, there's been a more anonymous team this weekend than Williams. They've just kind of been there. They've not been so awful that it's been embarrassing, but they've equally not been so good that they've surprised people and they've just kind of been there and got a 12th and 15th. It's very... You can say that, but I mean, slightly embarrassing, probably the fact that signs did the smallest amount of running up to a Sunday didn't even get out for qualifying. So it's not gone great for Williams, for the first race of the season. But for Alex Albon, I've gone for a six out of 10 as well. I think he did pretty well to finish P12. Absolutely nowhere near 10th and 11th. I think 26 or so seconds behind them, so it wasn't like he had a chance of points despite there being five drivers out of the race. But that being said, Williams are one of the slowest cars to finish at 12th. Not a bad effort at all.

41:44Ended up beating Lawson. So yeah, a six out of 10 from me for Albon. And the fans gave him, gave them, gave Alex Albon a six out of 10. Lewis Hamilton, qualified seventh finished fourth. I've gone for an eight out of 10. I've gone for an eight out of 10 for Lewis Halton. I think it was a very good strong weekend from Lewis considering what happened last year. He had a very strong race. Was catching Charlotte at the end. And I'm of the opinion that as much as yet a 10 reflects a pretty strong weekend, he could have outqualified Ann Beaton, Charlotte Lear, from the pace that we saw. I thought he was going to outqualify Charlotte the entire way through up until qualifying in Q3. And then as for the race, he was right with the leaders right at the start fighting. And then it wasn't able to capitalize.

42:44So yeah, an eight out of 10, it's not many negatives to talk about because it's the Hamilton that we want to see. I want to see, yes, even as a Charlotte Lear fan, I want to see Hamilton pushing Leclerb because it's exciting to watch. So yeah, eight from me. I have gone for a nine out of 10 for Lewis Hamilton. I think it was a fantastic result. It was great to see the old Lewis Hamilton back. I think the way the qualifying was a disappointment and we thought, oh no, here we go again. Is this going to be a difficult year where he fails to deliver? But the way his start was incredible and the way he just undid all that difficulty in qualifying immediately got up to third place. And of course, he got brought into it, thankfully, by the fact that Leclerb and Russell were fighting so much. But it put him right there with his teammate. They were kind of like Lynastern for most of the race. I think he was spot on. I'd maybe argue even more that he should have been

43:44even more forceful and maybe better communication between him and his team and trust might have meant that he could have dived into the pits and done that stop under the VSC because he was very adamant, why didn't we do this? And it was the absolute the right call in my opinion. I don't know why he didn't do that. Still a lot of Hamilton that we have known at Mercedes, though, because and there's still clearly some relationship building that has to happen between him and Ferrari because back when he was winning and fighting, you know, Russell and Russell, they would have dived into the pits. Yeah, he would have said, I'm coming in. Yeah, and we've not seen that Ferrari yet. So, yeah, true. But yeah, it was a fantastic result, the fact that he was what half a second behind Charlotte at the end, great to see him back and hope it continues. The fans gave Lewis an eight out of 10. Charlotte Claire qualified fourth finished third. Ooh, this is a difficult one. I've gone for a nine out of 10 for Charlotte Claire.

44:50An incredible start, battled for the win. It's not his fault that his team were, you know, in my opinion, made so far the wrong call. I mean, you had this rant in the podcast about it that how the fans, no, I've just watched a compilation of fans watching along to the race. And everyone called it immediately. So how every fan watching at home can go, that's the wrong call and a multimillion pound team with all these facilities and data and everything. Can't see that that's the way to go, it's insane. But she'll got, you know, Russell backpast. Had a great battle. I think his defense of Russell was absolutely fine and was another little showcase of Charlotte's Wheel to Wheel ability. And it's very close to being a 10 and it may well be. It's so close to like knowing the pecking order

45:51and how good that car actually is. But a really, really good job. And I can't give him a higher grade than Hamilton because I think they were very, very close. Right, it's great because I'm giving Charlotte a club and nine out of 10 out qualified Hamilton, despite Hamilton looking quick at all weekend. And Lewis had some struggles again, you know, there's so many variables to take into account. But the facts are that shall qualified and beat Hamilton in the race. Yet Lewis, of course, mounted a phenomenal charge towards him at the end. But you also have to take into account the battling that Le Clare was doing with Russell for the first 15 laps which brought Hamilton right into play. I'm not very sure why Hamilton was so far back at the start. He was at three, four seconds already after the first lap, maybe it was just because he was fighting. But I think it was a brilliant weekend for him. I'm disappointed about the strategy, as you all know. But that being said, from a driver's perspective, I think it was very strong. Even though he came out of the weekend saying he basically, the setup was wrong with the car,

46:52didn't drive particularly well. So maybe I should be giving him a five, but I'm looking at it through roasted glasses. But still, I think that a really strong weekend from Charl and he's got some teammate pressure and hopefully it pushes them both forward. The fans gave Charl a nine out of ten.

49:17www.coulishin.com slash solutions paid for by the coalition to empower our future. Isaac Hadjar qualified third did not finish. Sir Hadjar of course having problems with his red bull engine sadly, but we're going to give him a grade because he did a few laps and he of course qualified very well. So I'm going to give him an eight out of ten for Hadjar. It's a shame we couldn't have seen more of the race but we speak about issues we speak about drivers having some some very variables and problems. Hadjar basically said from the get go he was having issues with the car because if you watch his on board at the start of the race he gets a phenomenal start. Obviously leaps past Kimi Antonelli and he is hurtling towards George Russell and then all of a sudden his progress stops and we're talking about of course Russell not having battery either but Hadjar closing clothes oh, I'm not getting any closer to Russell and obviously he was

50:17managing issues from the very start. But I have to factor in that he did a great qualifying. Of course the unknown is where the staff would have been but that's something we will find out at a later date what the advantages for Max if any. But for Hadjar I think it was a brilliant start to his Red Bull career and something that I think needs to be applauded despite not many laps in the race. I have gone for an 8 out of 10 for Hadjar as well. Brilliant quality, even if we didn't see the staff and to see where he was stacked up. But basically showing that kind of that second Red Bull see he's not going to be just completely kind of useless compared to what we've seen from all the others. And yeah, I think he can be very proud of what he's done even if it was absolutely gutting they had that mechanical issue is it best of the rest now between Mercedes and Ferrari you could maybe argue

51:17even that based on how far they those guys were ahead of everyone by the end. But yeah, a very good job from Isaac Hadjar and he can be he'll be gutted with the result. But it's kind of in a weird way positive, like a really positive step. Absolutely, the fans gave Hadjar an 8 out of 10 as well. Max Verstappen qualified 20th finished 6th. This one I found incredibly difficult between an 8 and a 9. And I'm going to go for a 9 shock. What? What? What? I'm going to get to the lower preferential grade for Manchester City. Surely not. I think his classic max that he made essentially going from 20th to especially at the start. I mean, he went from 20th to 8th like it was nothing. And I think almost sometimes he makes it look so easy that he just think it's like a nothing thing, but he's

52:17one of those drivers that's only one of few that can do that on the grid. The reason I almost gave him an 8 was I think 5th was definitely possible. And could have been you know, even more and I think that's about all they were going to hope for anyway, I don't think they had the even if he'd started in the position where he was could he have done better. And I think that's the only fault of his for the issue is clearly driving around a lot of frustrations and things of him not like it. Did you say he's speaking of burnout? The burnout in the end of him getting annoyed. That's something we saw that Fernando Alonso do in testing of how annoyed he was as well. So yeah, I've gone for a 9 for max. I have also gone for a 9 out of 10 for max for Stappen. 20th to 6th. Yes, I think it was expected. But as we said, it was downgrading for qualifying because it wasn't his fault. And then to make his way through the field, to be only two seconds off Norris come the end of the race, I think

53:17is a great performance from max. So it's not really much more to say he carved his way through the midfield, which you would expect. It's mad. It's just so expected isn't it? Because that's just here he is and what he does. Well, yeah, I guess it's who he is, but also the car performance. I'm kind of more focused on the top four teams and the rest of the field. So yeah, it's still a great drive from max. That's why I've gone for a 9. The fans gave him a 9 out of 10 as well. Kimi Antonelli qualified second finished second. This one is tough. But I am going to go for a 9 out of 10 for Kimi Antonelli. It was close to being an 8, I'll be honest. But I've gone for a 9 because his race drive was was really good after lap 1. And to be any sort of a few seconds, but behind George Russell come the end. There was phenomenal race pace there. I can understand how

54:17people would go for 8 and 9s for Kimi to be honest with you because, of course, he crashed in practice. Got away with it because maybe max for staff went off in qualifying and they were able to repair his car. He goes out there, puts a bit of pressure on himself as well in Q3, but still manages to deliver and sticks second on the grid. Then he has a bad race start, balances back from there and finishes second only a few seconds behind Russell. So I think that there are some really strong positives and then a few negatives as I've mentioned. But I think the really strong positives outweigh the negatives for me for Antonelli, who, of course, is still very, very new to the sport in comparison to some drivers. And I'm quite excited to see what Antonelli can do. On the flip side of that, not a negative for his performance, but he knew that Russell wasn't pushing in the slightest. And there's a lot more in the tank when it comes to George. The fact that he said after the race as well that he knew he had basically a buffer or a margin for his child. He knew that there was

55:17a margin there, so he didn't really need to push Charles too hard when he was trying to get through on him. So there's things there I'm going to and say really, really good. But how much was George actually pushing? But still I have the greater on what I saw with Kimmy, who was the most of 10? I have gone for an eight out of 10. It's close between the two. I wanted to give him a nine, but when I look to all the factors of the weekend, I think the positive is that he was really close to George at the end. But he really did get away with, it could have been a lot worse. I think his start dropping all the way down, he was fortunate that the Ferrari's were racing so much that he could be able to do so much that he could be brought back into play with how bad his start was going all the way down into about seventh, I think it was. And then, of course, Ferrari's VSC Blunder, which I will call it VSC Blunder, because it definitely was, allowed him

56:17to easily be catapult into second. It might have been a bit tougher for him between the two Ferrari's. I think there have been a lot more of a race between those two Ferrari's Ferrari's Ferrari not made that strategy call. His pace was great, but yeah, there are other things as well, you know, the crash in FP3, so nearly cost him a chance of even qualifying completely. It was a miracle for the team to get it ready and him to be able to go out there. And, yeah, second and second looks like a great result on paper but it doesn't really tell the whole story of his weekend. The positives are that if George isn't leaving loads of time on the table, he's looking a lot more comparative and closer and hopefully can challenge him. The fans gave Kimmy a 9 out of 10. George Russell, qualified first, finished first. I've gone

57:17for a 10 for George. I think his obviously is qualifying we expected him to completely blitz this, which he didn't how much of that was the fact he was he knew what he could do and he was just managing the pace. You do need to give credit to George for the fact that he has been able to understand all this confusing new battery deployment and everything and how to drive it. Even if it is not a nice watch watching and qualifying and seeing if you saw and it would be very annoyed watching the ghost car between him or the driver or the guy or the driving car to him. How was the energy in the right way? It was pure hard but fun and i don't think it is fair and that is fair to say to George it is just pressing the throttle hard, but it is still a talent to be able to

58:17drive these cars and the fastest way. He deserves credit for that. I wonder if they are advantage of Podemos ver una situación como Max en 2023, donde ellos siempre han ganado, no es necesariamente un 10 de 10 performantes, pero yo me he tenido en el 10 este tiempo y es un gran trabajo de la gente. Me he tenido en el 10 de 10, un mucho cleaner, solidado para la gente de George en comparación a su team mate, así que no me he quedado en el mismo tiempo como que Kimi Antonelli, porque él ha podido ponerme el rase. Sí, es un gran performante de George, de course, ha tenido algunas misiones con su caro y eso es el que es el que él ha perdido para el caro. En el beginning, creo que él era muy sensible con él, con la clara, que él no tenía que hacer algo tan increíble que podría haber podido ponerme el rase, o costar el rase, porque él sabe que él había el caro en el nudo, así que no es el perfecto

59:18pero muy muy bien, así que yo estoy todavía en el 10 de 10, pero ya, así que es decir, como entendemos, el pecanio es un poco más, como hemos tenido un poco de rase en el nudo, luego nos vamos a ver si el rase de 12 segundos sobre el Ferrari es una buena forma. Sí, pero solo 1 por 12 segundos y no le dieron 4 años. Pero la verdad es que el pecanio el avance y el avance se va a cambiar a rase a rase, así que es muy difícil para el avance, porque no es una forma consistente de no pensar en el año. En el avance, le dieron 10, pues, ahora vamos a ver el McLarenz Oscar Piestri, qualificó el 5th, no empezó, porque él creció en el camino a la grita. Me voy a dar Oscar Piestri un 1 por 10, no dar a 0, dar a 1,

1:00:19porque hay otras variables que causan, un poco más, un poco más, un poco más, un poco más, que él no esperó en esa parte de la tráctica el exocervo, obviamente, eso es para él, así que es un poco más de la rase, como esto es literalmente en el camino a la grita, así que es aún inexcusable, en ese sentido, mi alma se va a ir a todos los Australian fans que estamos en la rase, y también, de ver a casa, pero él, se ha dicho que era una gran elementa de la rase, así que el McLarenz se ha hecho completamente el carera, se ha hecho una conversación diferente ahora, y es una nA, pero Oscar ha admitido un gran amount de la rase, así que voy a dar 1, porque el gran amount de la rase es un gran amount de la rase,

1:01:20y es un gran amount de la rase, es un gran amount de la rase, es un gran amount de la rase, es un gran amount de la rase, es un gran amount de la rase, es un gran amount de la rase, es un gran amount de la rase, es un gran amount de la rase, es un gran amount de la rase, es un gran amount de la rase, es un gran amount de la rase, es un gran amount de la rase, es un gran amount de la rase, Pero en el hecho de que, sí, es una oportunidad que él ha tenido esta sorpresa de poder delivery, pero él, himself, ha admitido que es más por él que se corte el curb. ¿Dónde tienes que poner todo ese marco? ¿Por qué no puedo hacer eso? Porque, de course, en hindsight, vamos. Pues no, no, no, no, puse ese marco. Porque yo he visto un video de

1:07:40que es más dificultad. Exactamente, 23 más races para ir, maybe, un poco menos, si hay unas cancelaciones en el camino, entonces vamos a ver con esa cosa. Pero sí, nos vemos soon, nos vemos a la próxima. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
