Starting point is 00:00:05 Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 podcast with Matt and Tommy. Yes, Tommy is here. That is correct. He's been very generous with his time. You know, of course, about 300 days of the year. He's on holiday. But he is now here. I love that. So that's a thing.
Starting point is 00:00:25 I saw a comment that was like that Tommy's lack of like being on the pod is ridiculous. I've done like 700 episodes and I've missed about three, I think. Yeah, I know. But those three are what we really miss you for. But you are here. You are in New Zealand before we both head to Australia very shortly. I mean, how are you enjoying New Zealand? People have, of course, I mean, you've been recognised already in a very uncompromising position of you on a zip line, which was impressive. Yeah, shout out to the guy on the zip line or at the end of the zip line. We have this running joke now between. you and our producer Charlie that basically like everywhere I go now it seemed to be recognized if it just go out in public, which is really weird. And I happened when I went to Portugal and it's always weirder when it's around the world. And yeah, I ended up doing this zip line thing, got to the bottom. And the first thing the guy said to me is, enjoying the break.
Starting point is 00:01:28 I was like, oh, okay. The break from what, the zip line or F1? Do you know me? Yeah. So yeah, that was really cool. You did some, is it Luge? Luge? I did Luge with Grace, yeah. Practice her racing lines and things.
Starting point is 00:01:42 She's a proper daredevil. She's going to be bungee jumping when she's like 10. So if you don't know what Luge is, it's essentially like downhill racing, isn't it? Every video I've ever seen looks insanely dangerous. Can you, as someone who has actually done it, tell us how dangerous it actually is? it's not as crazy but I did get up on two wheels a few times it's good for it depends how much you send it you can you can control your speed basically by like moving the handlebars forward and backwards so as the competitive
Starting point is 00:02:19 Formula One fan that I am I had a go with Grace and Katie and then when they went off to get dinner I had one ticket left and basically sent it on the last lap as fast as I could Oh my God. Why did you not speak to me beforehand? I would have vetoed against that. We need to have you on the podcast, mate, and not in hospital. So yes, Tommy's in New Zealand. I'm heading to Australia on Tuesday for, of course, our Australia tour.
Starting point is 00:02:47 There's a few tickets left at some of the destinations. So please come along if you haven't got your ticket already and you're in town when we are. So as with normal now, with our predictions and kind of before we get into them, We cover some news, and I know a lot of you have been appreciating that. The big one, which we haven't been able to discuss fully. We did discuss it not that long ago about circuits we'd want back on the F1 calendar, so it doesn't feel too unfamiliar, but as if by magic, Turkey has returned and is back from 2027 for a five-year deal.
Starting point is 00:03:23 I am buzzing. This is fantastic news. We needed some good news in the world of four. Formula One. We'll get into the updated regs for Miami and get your thoughts, Tommy, shortly. But in terms of Turkey coming back, what a W. Absolutely. I mean, it was your pick, wasn't it, when we did that circuits video. So they're obviously listening and put it straight on the calendar immediately. So amazing. Amazing. Yes, so maybe the stuff we said about the regs might. Oh, wait, no. But yeah, Turkey is awesome that it's back. It's a classic track. And it's a surprise, actually, with all these. all this talk of maybe going to new places and F1 abandoning classic tracks and stuff and maybe abandoning kind of Europe a little bit as well.
Starting point is 00:04:12 We're actually going back to Baltimore, going back to Turkey now as well. So very exciting. Just need like Germany and stuff back now. Is that too much to ask? And Sapang in India. India, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just a few on the list. But this is a good start.
Starting point is 00:04:29 And speaking of a good start. start. I've had some time after the solo podcast to absorb the updated regulations for Miami. I know a lot of you appreciated the podcast and it was kind of like a reading along with Matt for some patch notes for a Formula One game and there were a few moments if I don't understand. I feel like I now do understand it and I guess there is still of course the whole how are we here why are we calling things this and that and the other. But it might be a step forward. Tommy, what are your thoughts about the the updated regs heading into this weekend's Grand Prix? My thoughts is just that I hope they know what they're doing and I hope it's better.
Starting point is 00:05:09 I did read it the same way as you was going, oh, it's not a huge change then. It's just it, the joke was, yeah, like patch notes. They're just because the way they worded everything was even more confusing and just so much dialogue and how are fans meant to really understand what's going on. And yeah, I mean, the fact that we're going to hopefully less super clipping, better qualifying is the hope whether it's, as long as it's better, of course, I don't think it's going to be completely fixed, but hopefully it's a step in the right direction because they were never going to, you know, they're never going to stick a V-10 in it, are they after four races and go,
Starting point is 00:05:58 oh, here are the new regs, sorry, we got it wrong, guys. They should. But it's never going to be that, was it? So it's very unsurprising that that's what they decided to do. So if you missed that podcast, for whatever reason, to kind of bring you up to speed very quickly, the cars are essentially being made a little bit slower. Overall, that's kind of one of the main things here is that they might lose
Starting point is 00:06:24 a second a lap or maybe slightly more than that. The peak superclip power, which is something that upset me greatly, just generally, that phrase essentially means when they are superclipping, they will recharge quicker than what they were before, which would therefore hopefully mean less superclipping in general because they're able to harvest the energy quicker in that period of time, maybe two to four seconds of superclipping. But yeah, I think, I do appreciate that they have made tweaks and this there's an appreciation and there's part of me going what I don't
Starting point is 00:07:00 really want to sit here and watch you test the Formula One cars to make them where they should be. This isn't the shit doesn't feel like this is something that should be part of the F1 season, but it is and I'm fascinated to see what Miami brings and hopefully some great racing
Starting point is 00:07:16 and another thing to get you up to speed with is the boost side of things as well it's less powerful and the shit hopefully will be less of a well there won't be as big a discrepancy between slower cars and faster cars that are using boosts. So hence, obviously, the Oli-Berman example in Suzuki. So there's a few other things that they're testing, the testing, some start minimum sort of power launch, getaway thing to stop again having these dangerous starts. That's not implemented.
Starting point is 00:07:46 That's being tested. And then they're also, they brought some wet weather stuff in, but I don't think we need to be too worried about that in Miami. And speaking of, one more thing before we get into our predictions, free practice one, I know a lot of you will be tuning into that one, has been extended to 90 minutes. So 90 minutes of action, although I do joke. It is a sprint weekend. Let's not forget this. It's a sprint weekend. So that free practice one is very important and they've extended it because clearly they want to understand a little bit more about the changes they've made before we get into competitive sessions. Yeah, you're not tuning into that one because we will be. Australia and I've just seen that it's going to be about 4 o'clock in the morning
Starting point is 00:08:26 so Tommy I'll be there no matter what what you're talking about we watch every every preface one of course absolutely to be sure jet lag might mean we I'm absolutely tuning in we don't know oh yeah I've been up at like 2 a.m every every morning and going wait what's going on
Starting point is 00:08:41 so yeah may may still end up watching 90 minutes of FP1 yet right let's get into our predictions where I don't want to remind you all but it is in fact 14-6 to Tommy. And before we get into all of this, I just want to say, I am so excited that Formula One has finally returned.
Starting point is 00:09:01 We don't have to fill for a random spring break we did not see coming. And we can talk about the action once again. So, fingers crossed, we're going to get a banger in Miami, right? An absolute banger, Tommy. Sprint weekend, lots of predictions. And it is your turn to go first. It is. so good surprise. I have gone for Williams
Starting point is 00:09:25 and that was mainly because Williams have had a very difficult start to the season and yeah it was just a just a feeling obviously the bar for Williams is very low at the moment they've had a really poor start that struggled a lot, car seems overweight the Daddy Vow's hype certainly hasn't delivered this year I think Carlos Sainz got a point
Starting point is 00:09:50 in China, I believe, or a couple of points, actually. But, yeah, they've not had a great season at all. So this is, yeah, it's a low bar, but so I'm going for Williams to see if they can salvage anything from a weekend. And this is the, I know it's very different regulations, but the kind of memory from last year's Miami was how well Williams did and were kind of racing the Ferraris and we were talking about,
Starting point is 00:10:20 They're kind of almost at the top, the top pack now. So yeah, gone for Williams. A very different car, though, for Williams this year. And that's a big one to put both of them into the good surprise territory. But that's good because your eight points clear. Thank you so much for that. Tommy. My good surprise!
Starting point is 00:10:41 I'm fully just dialed in now. I had a bit of a sleepy start to the season, clearly. Been distracted. but now we're locking in. You know, of course, I'm a reigning champion, and my good surprise is also a reigning champion, Lando Norris. I think that he's not had a lot of things go his way currently with the reliability of his car.
Starting point is 00:11:04 And I would love to see just a clean weekend for Lando. It's been a quiet start to the season for him. But I think this will be, with the fact McLaren looked genuinely better and Oscar could have won the race at Suzuki, had it been for a bit more good fortune. so I think that McLaren may well continue to take steps forward and I think it's time for Lando who of course has won at Miami before had his first race win at Miami of course
Starting point is 00:11:28 so that's what I've gone for and I'm very very confident with that pick like that one he was on my short list as well I'm glad you didn't go for it thanks for going for Williams let's now head to a big flop now this one has two faces to it all right number one, Tommy's in New Zealand and I feel like I have to do something about this and number two, he's had a phenomenal start to the year
Starting point is 00:11:53 so it's Liam Lawson, okay? Liam Lawson is my big flop. I feel as though there is absolutely no evidence to suggest. Yeah, that is genuinely it. That is genuinely the only reason I'm going for it. And also, again, I'm looking for small windows of opportunity here. I'm looking for doors and hoops to jump through.
Starting point is 00:12:13 And if Liam Lawson has a very mediocre Miami weekend after what he's had at the start of this year. He's 10th in the driver's championship. He scored 10 points. Then I will be claiming that point every single day of the week to try and close this eight point gap that I have to you already after three weekends. That is so depressing.
Starting point is 00:12:30 So yeah, that is my big flop, Tommy. So big flop, I have gone for Max Verstappen. It's kind of free real estate at the moment. I hope I'm wrong again, as I have saying a lot recently. with the whole, you know, he's not going to win a race. I think it's going to get worse for Red Bull before it gets better. I've seen that they... What was very surprising was there's been a loophole closed in qualifying
Starting point is 00:13:02 where Mercedes and Red Bull were doing a trick that basically meant they had more power in qualifying and then the car would almost shut down on its in-lap, but it didn't matter because, you know, they've already completed their lap and the FAA stopped that from happening. And one of the biggest surprises from that was, wait, Red Bull were using that and they're still this bad. You know, Max didn't even make it into Q3 last time.
Starting point is 00:13:29 So if they don't have that and they're already slow, I'm not expecting big things. And how motivated is Max going to be returning to Formula 1st. one after having, you know, been racing at the Nuremberg ring again and things like that. And I just, I don't, I think he's going to be back into the kind of bad times of 2026 Formula One for him. Okay. Well, a flop for Max Verstappen is a very different flop to what it's been in the past few seasons already. The expectations are like a piece, six is a good surprise. Yeah, genuinely, if he beats any one of the top three teams, then, then he's, cooking. But okay, sad times, Tommy, I love how you've had a whole five, six weeks off and you've
Starting point is 00:14:20 gone, still depressed. Okay, going to still be depressed about Maxfussappen. Let's now head to Sprint Pole. Is Sprint Pole? This may be the Southern Hemisphere talking, but I'm going to go for Oscar Piastri. And again, this is maybe the Mercedes advantage in qualifying isn't going to be as strong. Oscar Bastery had a brilliant race in Japan of course and great qualifying as well but Mercedes have been of course very very fast in qualifying but maybe that advantage might be cut a little bit based on this new kind of loophole that's been closed
Starting point is 00:15:02 interesting Tommy is buying into this loophole I just feel as though Mercedes will just turn up their engine a little bit more so interesting okay keep that up Tommy. The sun is really hitting you and I want you to continue with that hype. My sprint pole position is Kimmy Antonelli and
Starting point is 00:15:24 I am, I almost feel like this has already happened. I'm already celebrating the point. Antonelli, don't forget last year, got sprint pole and was really good around Miami. Yes, he had a little bit of a wobble last year. But overall, I think, especially
Starting point is 00:15:40 with the momentum that he's currently got this season, I don't think it stops in Miami because last year he was genuinely so impressive against George Russell and you just think about how the lack of experience he had then a year on I feel as though this momentum continues I still think in the grand scheme of the season George Russell wins it by quite a decent margin but at this point in the season I feel as though Kimmy is going to continue pretty well so that is what I've gone for for sprint pole position sprint winner We're locking in.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Kimmy Antonelli. But do I need to explain it? He gets pole. He wins the sprint. I still think that Mercedes are going to be the fastest car. Even though, you know, Fred has said we're going to see a completely different, you know, order and all this sort of stuff weeks ago. And I'm like, what does that mean? Does that mean Ferrari?
Starting point is 00:16:36 Are you bringing something Ferrari? What are you up to? You know, there's a lot of question marks, but I think you'd be silly to bet against Mercedes after a break that, yeah, some teams will have got their head around. things like starts and so on and so forth. And I am expecting some small changes, but I am almost wholly convinced that Mercedes are not running their car anywhere near the peak performance of what they can do. And it almost feels as though they are keeping,
Starting point is 00:17:06 like they're doing a good enough, like they keep in a good enough gap, so it doesn't really put them under much pressure, although the Oscar Piastri thing in Suzuki might have scared them a little bit. Yeah, there was a small percent of me, that thought with Fred's comments that you'd just go, good surprise,
Starting point is 00:17:22 Charlotte Claire, sprint poll, Charlottler, I am eight points down. I am eight points down. If Charles Clean Sweeps this weekend, I am sacking in this predictions championship. And as I am,
Starting point is 00:17:32 eight points clear, I'm going to go sprint winner, Oscar Piastri. I think, yeah, if I've gone for him for pole position, they've got amazing starts, will we see,
Starting point is 00:17:44 you know, a new, start procedure implemented. I don't know if they've said that they might do it or they're just, they said they're just testing it, but would if it worked, would they not do it immediately?
Starting point is 00:17:56 I don't think so. So that being the case, you've got to feel that, you know, we saw it. It's a Zuckarren, McLaren's can get just as good of a start as the Ferraris now,
Starting point is 00:18:11 which is very exciting for the starts. And if Oscar Pastry can qualify well, we've said many times it's so hard to overtake the Mercedes certainly haven't breezed past everyone in the races as much as we thought, even though they are very, very dominant, of course. So I'll go for something different and get some brownie points before we do our tour in Australia. It's not the most insane prediction, is it? Oscar, as we said, could have won in Suzuki. And just to clarify the race start stuff, that most of it is around safety mechanisms as opposed to. to actually changing the start procedure,
Starting point is 00:18:48 just in case there was any confusion about that. We're going to have a 40-second way on the grid. Yeah, it's more about the stalls and the slow getaways than it is. I mean, I know Mercedes have had slow getaways, but I don't know if that's what this is trying to help. I think this is more of a safety thing. So fully expecting the same kind of McLaren and Ferraris to get off the line well, although McLaren are literally running a Mercedes engine.
Starting point is 00:19:13 So how long will it take until Mercedes just get off cleanly? and then win by 60 seconds. Right, let's head to Pole position for the main race. Paul position, I'm going to go for George Russell, a driver that should be the boring pick, but maybe a bit of hype. A bit of hype as kind of left George Russell recently
Starting point is 00:19:38 with how good Kimmy Antonelli's doing. I've seen a lot of people saying that, you know, Russell's finally got his championship winning car and oh, you know, he's not delivering. At the end of the day, we're only three races in, which is depressing because it's late into April, how we only three races into the season. But yeah, only three races in.
Starting point is 00:20:01 He's not had the best of luck either, you know, with the problem in qualifying in China as well and had a few issues in Suzuki. So he's still got the pace and can so absolutely deliver. I'm going to go for Russell to bounce back and get pole position. Yep, very fair. As you say, qualifying problems in China. He had a set-up issue for the race in Suzuki, which left him hamstrung.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Yeah, we've only had three races. So the pendulum can easily, easily, easily, shift. That's why I'll easily, easily. Anyway, my pole position was not George Russell, so I don't need to change it. Because it's Kimmy Antonelli down the inside. Again, Kimmy Antonelli, clean sweeping, everything. for me currently. Will he clean sweep the main race as well? Let's see.
Starting point is 00:20:51 But again, I don't want to change it. I think right now, momentum man, Kimmy Antonelli. This will probably be where he spears it into the wall and all of this is wrong. But that's not the Kimmy Antonelli we've seen so far this year. So, well, apart from one crash. Anyway, it's fine. I'm not changing it. Not changing it. Yeah, P3. Who cares about that? No one cares. Paul position, Kimmy Antonelli.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Right. Let's get into the top. three for Sunday's race. In third position, I've not mentioned him yet, but I'm going to do it now, Charlerlerlerc. Yeah, Charlotte Claire's still here.
Starting point is 00:21:27 He's still kicking. And I still believe Ferrari are going to be very competitive. Will they be Mercedes competitive? I don't know. Will they be able to beat McLaren? That's a question. That's a big question as well. So it's...
Starting point is 00:21:43 Don't talk yourself out of it. I could, yeah, I could easily put a McLaren. in right now if I keep talking, but I have to mention Charlotte Claire at least once, although technically I have already still mentioned it. Different championship.
Starting point is 00:21:54 If I do change it. So what were you? What was that little... It's a different championship from Miami, apparently, according to Fred, remember? Yeah, but I just don't think it's going to change whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:22:06 So, oh, it should be a McLaren. I don't know why I've put Charlotte Claire, but we're going to stick with it. Charlotte Claire. So P3, I have gone for McLaren, and it's Oscar Piastri, after his sprint win and pole position that's definitely happening
Starting point is 00:22:20 because I predicted it he is going to finish third in the Grand Prix I really hope it doesn't happen not for Oscar Piastris sake for the fact that you will score any points this week I really really need you to have a big fat duck duck is zero isn't it I'm pretty sure
Starting point is 00:22:36 so that would be that would be good in second place Tommy second place I've gone for Kimmy Antonelli so yeah do i need to say why Mercedes is gonna finish second and now we wait to see if tactics will be played if tactics will be played hmm hmm very interesting so you've gone remember you messed this up last time i know i know you've recovered though you've recovered hold on i'm the one that should
Starting point is 00:23:13 mess it up with my jet lag so you should be fine I'm just trying to just thinking right now because okay look in second place I am going for George Russell there's no there's no doubt because I've backed Kimi Antonelli the whole way and I feel as though that is
Starting point is 00:23:29 what's going to have to remain so George Russell I am going for P2 in first position is a Kimi Antonelli lockout well done thank you everybody if Mercedes continues to dominate don't worry we will shift the predictions to the top
Starting point is 00:23:47 and just ignore the first two. So it'll be third, fourth and fifth that we'll actually do. I haven't discussed with you at all, Tommy, but it might have to be the case if the series are going to win 24 races of the year, and then it's a role of the dice, sorry, 22 races of the year and which Mercedes driver. But right now, it's only the fourth race weekend
Starting point is 00:24:06 and everything could change, and Charlotte Clem might well mount a championship comeback. Let's see. But right now, Kimmy Antonelli, I need to mount my own comeback, and that's what I'm doing. So P1, I've gone. for George Russell.
Starting point is 00:24:19 No surprise. We've both gone. From Mercedes 1-2 in different orders. Who's going to be right? We'll find out. But yeah, I think Russell's going to... I think Russell's going to bounce back. I think he's maybe been
Starting point is 00:24:34 under... Like, sort of over-hated or over... I don't even know what the word is, but just kind of people... People thinking that it's completely washed when... I don't think that's the case is just... not strung it together and I still think he's very much, you know, got a huge opportunity to win the championship and probably still the favourite at this stage. No disrespect to Antonelli
Starting point is 00:24:58 with what, you know, he's done this season. But if it isn't Antonelli, clean sweep, then my word is it's going to be a very exciting season. And as we've said so many times, the dynamic shift between the Mercedes drives is going to be a fascinating one. Yeah, my mind's eyes is seeing Kimmy Antonelli getting a decent championship lead and then George Russell going on an absolute blinder of a European season. That's kind of, that's how I see it right now. Titanium dark side is. Yeah, well, exactly.
Starting point is 00:25:30 That wasn't even my thought. Oh, okay. That is very true. So, yeah, I mean, look, if we can get a championship picture that is exciting, then I will absolutely take it this year. So there you go. Right, we now head to our favorite part of predictions now. I think your favourite part as well
Starting point is 00:25:45 and it's called P-WAT, FWAT, where, if you don't know, Tommy is going to get up a random number generator between, well, fourth and 20th, and we are going to say immediately who is going to finish in that position and the closest, if they get it bang on is two points,
Starting point is 00:26:02 the closest is one point. So, Tommy. Swat and 22nd, actually. Sorry, fourth, yeah, it's because because it was P-20 last time, and I just read it out loud because it was in the show. sheet. Yes, of course, fourth to 22nd.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Okay, we're going to go for it then. I am generating the number. Let's pray for this Airbnb Wi-Fi. What is it? It's P-4. Is it P-4? Who is it? Go. Lando. Lando Norris.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Okay. My P-4 is Oscar Piestri. Okay. I love how we've just gone for the... It's the second time we've gone for two McLaren's. So double DNS confirmed for McLaren like last time. Okay. Wow. There you go. I love again.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Our first and second was one or the other Mercedes and then our P-Watt is one or the other McLaren's. And let's see who's closest. Fantastic stuff. Love, love, love this. Now let's go to our one crazy prediction. Mine is to do with Mercedes. And of course this is because of the, oh, will it be closer in Miami?
Starting point is 00:27:06 Oh, the loopholes, the things that have been closed. Mercedes win by the biggest margin of the year over other teams. That's my prediction I think it's 25 seconds is the biggest margin so far This is on a Sunday of course The sprint I mean
Starting point is 00:27:21 That's the biggest race victory Yeah I believe so yeah This season Okay nice Yeah over over another manufacturer So for me That's what I'm going for
Starting point is 00:27:31 I will be getting into the nitty gritty of adding the sprint And race wins together If I haven't If it hasn't come in So Just just be aware of that one But that's what I've gone for
Starting point is 00:27:42 Finding those loophole, that is hilarious because mine is also about Mercedes. Oh my God, let's talk about some other teams. So my one crazy prediction is Mercedes don't top every competitive session. Okay. Because they have every sprint poll, every poll, every win this year. Yeah, they top everything. That's a good loophole. That's a good loophole.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Okay, interesting. Let's now go to our Patreon prediction. If you join the people on Patreon, you get lots of benefits, including ad-free listening. you get access to our Discord, early access to P1 live show tickets, and so on and so forth. And one of them, of course, you can get involved with on the Discord
Starting point is 00:28:19 is your prediction that we can select and you can score us a point, which will be very, very helpful for me in particular. Tommy, who have you gone for? I have gone for S. Mitchell 8, which is a three-car incident into Turn 1 in either race. Ooh, I mean, to be fair,
Starting point is 00:28:36 Miami Turn 1 does like a little incident, doesn't it? It likes that this is my thinking here, a little incident and some rusty racecraft after such a long break. Yeah, because they're not professionals in the slightest and they've forgotten out to race. So, that's so fascinating, by the way. Wait for a 22-car pile up into turn one now after you said that. Botas. Botas has done a decent longer in Hungary before. So this is really interesting, though, Tommy, because mine is also to do with collisions.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Oh, okay. Mine's from Chezzan. teammates have a collision oh okay put it out there we've got two races we've also got free practice that they could maybe do it not not to wish ill will but little double
Starting point is 00:29:21 Mercedes teammates that would set the fire going wouldn't it before another three week break and I'll take the point it doesn't need to be a DNF like you know we're not going to wish any ill will just a small little will bang I can't believe he did that just some spice I mean the spice is coming if we're talking about any George Russell picture
Starting point is 00:29:39 of him taking his helmet off and staring at Kimmy Antonelli. I ignore of that because that picture is one of my favourite things of all time and I love it dearly. Speaking of loving things dearly, hate this championship but what I do love is the family top three where it is four two to the Gallagher's double doubly ahead of the boring Bellingham's. Tommy's not double. Oh God, he's more than double.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Oh, Christ. Sorry, I forgot about the fact that you're more than double ahead of me in the actual driver champion. So, family top three. This is going to be interesting. My dad is ready to go, I believe. Okay. So let me ring him. He said, I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:30:22 I'm like, or neither do we. So that's fine. Don't worry about it. I feel like use your dad last sign, but it's also been like ages since Naf1 race there. I can't even remember now. Hello? It's fine.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Hi, dad. Are you ready for a P1 prediction? Sorry, I sneezed. First of all, what's fine? Fine? Sorry? He said it's fine. Oh, what was fine is that I'm drafting you in two times in a row.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Oh, right. But I'm pretty sure you did also. Yeah, he said back to back. Tommy's getting really into the rules, which is kind of boring. It fits the boring Bellingham's kind of headline. But anyway, top three, please. It's a sprint weekend. But let's go for the top three.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Okay, Giles. Who's Giles? Giles. Charles? Charles. Charles. Charles. Charles.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Okay, okay. Daddy's crazy again. Please stop saying Daddy. That's what I call Tommy. So, Charlotte Claire P3 in P2, please. Right, P2. Kimi Antonelli. Okay, and P2.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Then in first place. George Russell. All right. So you're basically what I've gone for, but I've switched to two Mercedes and gone for a Kimi Antonelli clean sweep. So that's interesting. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Well, I think George is going to show him this time. Okay. All right. Well, that means it probably won't happen. Thank you very much, Dad. Appreciate you. We're winning though We're winning
Starting point is 00:31:40 We're winning So that's good 42 to the Gallagas Up the Gallagas Oh no Don't say that All right bye Bye love you bye
Starting point is 00:31:46 Okay I do like to take the Mickey out my dad Until he says Don't take the mickey out of daddy And then I Disintegrate Right Tommy I have a
Starting point is 00:32:02 Voice note From Katie Because she's gone to bed She's gone to bed What time is it? It's half ten 10. Wow, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:32:12 It's 11 a.m. It's very weird. Yeah, I know. Watching F1 on a Monday when we're here, we're going to feel the Australian's pain. We'll know what it's like. Not that bad, though, because I think we're watching like 7 a.m. on the Monday. Yeah, it's not too bad. It's probably actually quite a sociable race.
Starting point is 00:32:30 I think you just angered a lot of Australians by saying that Miami is a hard one. I don't know. I think the sprints on it at some outrageous time. But anyway. Oh, is it? All right. Planning ready then. Okay, here we go.
Starting point is 00:32:43 So we've got a voice note. Have you listened to the voice note? No, I haven't. Oh God, this could be anything. Could be anything. Go get the groceries. It could be the wrong voice note. I hope it is.
Starting point is 00:32:52 At half ten. Can you get some milk? Right. Hello, these are my predictions in case I've gone to bed because I'm still a little bit jet lagged. So P3, I'm going to go for Oscar Pastery. Same is mine. She's laughing at that.
Starting point is 00:33:09 P2, George Russell, and P1. I'm going to go for Kimmy and Tonelli. Oh, so we're cooked. So if I go to all those points. Okay. I love that. The formal thank you, bye. Thank you, Katie.
Starting point is 00:33:25 I know you hate getting involved in this so much, but it's Tommy keeps asking. Speaking of getting, isn't Katie been filled it for almost every weekend so far? I'm trying to remember who last, no, last time was, um, No, last time was my dad. Oh my God. Last time was your dad. On holiday as well, yeah. And the time before that was my niece, my three-year-old niece.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Okay, maybe it just sticks out in my mind so much that Katie just because she hates it every time. She just predict something. So, yeah, we need to use grace at some point. But she is long in bed. So, yeah, we've, we've, I do think, yeah, we're going to have to have to have a, have a, think maybe if it is another Mercedes 1-2 with these new updated regulations because
Starting point is 00:34:15 that's a 1-2 for every single member now. I think third to 5th but you know let us know what would be a good thing to make it up to keep it interesting because that's what we want to do. We don't want to sit here going is it Kimmy or is it George? So there you go. Or maybe
Starting point is 00:34:31 it'll be like a where does Charlotte Claire finish full stop just every single week just that's the focus just the Charlotte Claire predictions. Will he wear a certain outfit? Will he bring the dog, etc? So I'm a fan of that. Okay, right, that is our prediction done and dusted. Tommy?
Starting point is 00:34:47 Final thoughts, please, from New Zealand. Final thoughts are that cannot wait for the Australia tour. It's going to be weird because we're going to be in Australia in different places at the start, but then we will be together for the first show in Adelaide. Just to note to everybody, because Tommy's still on holiday. So then they shall come. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But there's another, it's just Formula One just doesn't want to just come back.
Starting point is 00:35:15 So, you know, and yeah, it's, I'm super hyped having an amazing time in New Zealand. Can't wait to go to Australia for the first time as well. And, yeah, the tour is going to be amazing. A lot of hype, I'm sure. I'm expecting big things, a lot of excitement and cheering and happiness. Okay, all right. And what's when your one favorite thing about being in New Zealand, just very quickly? Ooh, just how when you drive around, you just, it's just so green and it's just,
Starting point is 00:35:52 you don't see any buildings, it's just animals. And it's basically, it's in Telitubbyland, basically. Thomas is no white Bellingham. That's what you are. Yeah, yeah. You just love. No one told me that I would see this many cows. That's my biggest takeaway from New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:36:11 I think I've seen about 10,000 cows in the last three days, not even joking. All right. And to be fair, if you do score more points than me this week, we might have to field a cow in for the next predictions. So there you go. All right. Or if the regs are so terrible, we're going to just go to cow racing. Cow racing.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Maybe. That sounds not great. Hopefully it's a great cow race. Thank you, everybody, for tuning in. We'll see you very soon. Remember get your Australia tour tickets, and that's it. Bye. Love to love.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Sweet dreams. Goodbye. It's literally sweet dreams for you. I mean, it's the start of the day for me and sweet dreams for you. I'll be over in a second. Have a great day. P1 is a Stack production and part of the Acast's creator network.
