Starting point is 00:00:00 This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network. Thank you for listening to the late-breaking F-1 podcast. Make sure to check out new episodes every Wednesday and every Sunday. Hello everyone. this Christmas and New Year phase. We are now here in 2026. We don't have the, we don't have the, the blowy things that we had in the, in the studio a few months back that didn't really work. So we can't go and bring in the new year like that. Thank you very much. But we can at least wish you a happy new year. We are now in 2026. We've got some games coming up today, Sam. We do. And the world speaks of
Starting point is 00:00:53 great trilogies throughout the history of entertainment, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the original Star Wars, Toy Story 1, 2 and 3, Shrek 1, 2 and 3. And now, the late-breaking best of, the 3rd. Yes, start off your new year with some silly old games brought you by us over 2025. We'll be back very, very soon for some actual real content that is relevant to what's going on in the new season. I mean, you say Shrek 1, 2, and 3, you probably should have said it like, Shrek 1, 2, and 3. And we hope this isn't as disappointing as Shrek 3 is versus the other 2. I know Martin Brundle disagrees, but...
Starting point is 00:01:28 No. No. The consistency is strong. The games today, they'll definitely see you through until our next episode, Sam, which is on Wednesday. And we'll be back in real life because this isn't quite real life. No, this is a strange in-between realm of podcasting bizarreness, which we're living entirely for the month of December and you join us for some strange reason. So enjoy the games. See how many you could get right that you didn't get right last time. And we'll be back for real life conversations very soon. It's time for F1, order please. Whether it's a can of Coca-Cola or a lump of cheese or we're ordering drivers by the size of their knees. This game is full of facts, just you wait and see. This is Formula One. Order, order, please.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Every time you play that, I think, I swear we had a new jingle and I remember just how good the original was. Can't replace perfection, my friend. It's so true. Lums of cheese need to be ordered. The echoey room in the background as well. It's all perfect. It's actually recorded inside a can of Coca-Cola.
Starting point is 00:02:35 With a lump of cheese with my microphone. F-1 order, please. Six questions in front of me. Sam and Harry will take it in turns to order four things based on a certain category that I'll tell them. If they get it right, they get a point. If they get it wrong, the other person has the opportunity to steal, but there is a twist because if they also get it wrong, just in a different order, they lose a point.
Starting point is 00:02:59 So, Sam, what number would you like to start us off? One day you're going to do the funniest thing and you are going to have the questions be, who's got the biggest knees? What size cocaine care is the biggest can and what glove of cheese is the biggest? I will love you for it and so will the people. If you're holding out for me doing something funny,
Starting point is 00:03:18 you're going to be here a while, sorry. Number five, please, Ben. Number five, four drivers. I'd like you to list them, on how many race starts they've had in F1. So you've got Noreen Carthacaean. Oh, God, I've got to write these down already. Yep.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Joe Guan Yu. Yep. Logan Sargent. And then the obvious four person in this list, Sterling Moss. Obviously. The big four, as we like to call them. Okay, most to least. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:54 We'll go, Joe Moss, Sergeant Carter Cain. Not the correct order, Harry. Shucks. Would you like the opportunity to steal? No. Fair enough. So good effort.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Just one out because you had the top two in the right order. It was just third and fourth that needed to switch. Shoguan Yew, 68 starts is first. Moss, 66 is second. Then it was Carthageen with 46. And then it was Sergeant with 36. There's no way that that cucumber drove that. mini-grawlbrew. That's outrageous.
Starting point is 00:04:29 That is outrageous. He did have a couple of stabs at it. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah. A couple of stabs at the cucumber. It's a new book name. That is. Good name for a band. That is. Alternatively, it couldn't be. We're yet to find out. Harry, what number do you like?
Starting point is 00:04:51 Number one, please. I can give you four F-1 news stories from 2024. and I'd like you to list them chronologically as to when they happened in the year. That unknown chance, okay. Adrian Newey joins Aston Martin. Okay. Oliver Berman signs a multi-year deal for Hasse.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Big Jonathan Wheatley is announced as the new Audi team principal. The Jay Wheat. How do you do that? Oh, yeah, Gassley extends his contract at Alpine. Just for reference, I'm not feeling this. Number one, what we're saying? Number four. This will be the Adrian Nui one, I think.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Then, um, then the Gansley one. Then Big J. Wheat and, or J. Wheat, as we call it. and then never been said to the Olly Berman a lot of things on this podcast had never been said by anyone but that's the first thing
Starting point is 00:06:06 the final one at Olly Berman it was a tough question no as if and that's why you've got it wrong there's no bloody shards he's got out right Sam you have already said
Starting point is 00:06:21 you don't want to steal would you like to steal I'd like for aluminium God, that's bad. Aluminum, you mean? No. Three-pin plug. Not getting on that to three-pin plugs.
Starting point is 00:06:37 That's what I'm like. If it, if it's any consolation, Harry, you weren't close. Oh, good. Gassley was first, then it was Berman. Was it? Then Adrian knew he was last of those four. Bermen Sart was signed. Because Adrian knew he was in like,
Starting point is 00:06:55 Oh no What was it Newing Leaving Aston Rebill or signing for Aston Martin Signing for Aston Martin Ah shudder
Starting point is 00:07:02 Yeah No it's not I didn't swear No one In English No one listens in Germany I can prove you wrong We have the stats

Starting point is 00:07:41 Thank you to the slug indent. I hadn't renamed them yet. Sorry, sound six and sound eight. I got mixed up. Don't worry about it. This is your under pressure submission all over again. Shandem three. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:53 four tracks here. So Fernando Alonzo, how many wins he's had at each of these circuits? Okay. So you've got Montreal. This should be Harry's question. It might be soon. We'll see. Montreal.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Hockenheim. Yep. Spar. Yeah. And Silverstone. All right. Most to least on how many? How many race wins?
Starting point is 00:08:19 Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Most Spar Benhok Bing Silverstone
Starting point is 00:08:25 than Montreal No Good Parry Eats steal my friend Silverstone Nice You can't not steal
Starting point is 00:08:34 this one I think Yeah I'll give it I'll give it a well Give it a stab It's definitely one At all of these I didn't say that
Starting point is 00:08:42 Okay Oh there again Montreal Spa Silverston And Hock Hock Hock The Ben Hock The Bokenheim
Starting point is 00:08:52 I'm trying to get it changed to that Hockingham I'll go for most I will go for Silverstone Then how many put a number on it mate Am I putting a number on it Yeah why not put a number wrong how many
Starting point is 00:09:17 I don't know I just think that's the most And then Spa Montreal What was the other one again? I forgot Hockenheim Sorry And then
Starting point is 00:09:33 So I don't think he's one A couple of these I will say next Is Hockenheim Then Montreal Then Spa No. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Quite. He's won at Hockenheim the most time. He's won three times there. Three times. 05, 2010 and 2012. Then it's Silverstone, 06 and 2011. Montreal, he's won just once. He's never won a spa, is he?
Starting point is 00:10:11 It's never one spa, which feels very weird. That's fun. Never won a spot. It's nil-0. No, it's minus 1. Oh, yeah, sorry, mate. Yeah, it's worse than nil-nil-nil. I have a favouritism existing on this show.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Right. Harry, it's your turn. What number would you like? Number two. I can give you four drivers, and I want you to list them based on the times finished in the top three in the championship. So how many times they finished somewhere in the top three in the championship standings? Fernando Alonzo Jensen Button
Starting point is 00:10:52 David Coulthard and Mario Andretti Imagine if the question was McNagabar finished his Yeah I'll give you a hint They have all finished in the top three in the championship The most times Alonzo Then
Starting point is 00:11:11 Andretti Mario Not Michael No not Michael there was button and who else I'm sorry Button and Coulthard with the D.C. Then
Starting point is 00:11:25 a button and oh no, hang on. Yeah, button DC. No. Sam? Oh yeah, sure. I'll join your
Starting point is 00:11:40 mine as far as well. Let's have it. It's good to be friends down there, ring it. I'll also go along so first, but then I'm going to say Kaltag second but in
Starting point is 00:11:50 third and Dretti fourth No Joe Burkow oh
Starting point is 00:11:58 how many times how many times D.C. finished the top three one million oh five times
Starting point is 00:12:11 five times crucially none of them were fast Medley gay that's our Courageous. Just tip to the post every time.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Pretty much. Yeah. Alonso was first six times, then Coulthard five times, button three times, Andretti just twice. Gosh. Which means,
Starting point is 00:12:32 it's one minus one. We go back to Sam. What number would you like? Six. You can have number six. You can have number six. I want you to list them based on how many seasons
Starting point is 00:12:45 they've done in F1. That's not one of them You've got Mercedes Astor Martin Jordan and Jaguar Oh, crikey Okay And you can't add Astorin and Jordan together
Starting point is 00:13:02 Damn it! Okay Jordan, Austin Mercedes And who's the other one sorry? Jaguar Jaguar? Yeah, thank you Right
Starting point is 00:13:15 most Jordan then Mercedes then Aston then Jag Not correct Harry would you like to try
Starting point is 00:13:30 and get back to zero I'd love to you but I didn't listen to the question Would you mind repeating Oh for God sake Harry Ead I've had a think And no I don't want to steal them
Starting point is 00:13:40 The question was Four Constructors listed by number of seasons they've done. Ah, right. And they were Aston Martin, Jordan, Jaguar and another one. Mercedes. Montreal.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Okay. I will go for the most Mercedes. I didn't even lessen to what sounds ready. This is going to be terrible. Forget the same again. You've always got a difference. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Beryl wasn't going to tell us. Did you just turn off? You just literally turn. I just zoned out. I'm so sorry, everyone. I'll go for most Mercedes. Then I'll go for Jordan. Then
Starting point is 00:14:25 Then Jekua, then Aston Martin. You only needed to change one of them. You changed both. Mercedes is right in that they are first with 17 seasons, then Jordan with 15. but Aston Martin, thanks to their pesky 1950s exploits, is actually third with six, and then Jaguar with five.
Starting point is 00:14:53 That's embarrassing. If you put your efforts together, you'd have got a point there. Nice. That's not how this game works. That's how the game works. This is a big interesting question. What number do you like, Harry? The one that's remaining, please.
Starting point is 00:15:06 I completely agree. That's a great number. What is it? Number five. No. Minus one is four, great work. Four drivers, I want you to list them based on where they finished in the 2022 season. I really hoped it was going to be the 2020 season.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Sorry, I can't remember that. You've got Sergio Perez. Yeah. Charler LeClaire, Lando Norris, and George Russell. So top of that would be LeCler. I think, then Sergio Perry's, then George Russell, then Lando Norris. Sam's nodding his head, and he's right to nod his head. Good work.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Clawley back at the end for a one minus one loss. I tell you what, you've really recovered. That's a nail biter. Well, I'd say, you take the win. Woo! After a good start. One, one lost one.
Starting point is 00:16:20 In 2025, that's good for me. 50-50. Every family has a story. Now you can discover the chapters you've never read at an amazing low price. With an ancestry membership, you can start building your family tree and easily search and have the same. historical records you uncover. Memberships are now at their lowest price of the year. With billions of new records, powerful features, and intuitive search tools, it's easier and
Starting point is 00:16:52 faster than ever to get started. Get ready to say, look what I found. Visit ancestry.ca slash new year for more details. Terms apply. higher and lower. Is F1 higher? Is F1 lower? Is Sam faster? Is Harry slower? F1 higher.
Starting point is 00:17:31 F1 lower. F1. Okay, F1 higher and lower. Six questions in front of me. Harry and Sam will take it in terms to pick a number. and there is a numeric answer to each of those questions. If they get it spot on, they get two points. If they don't get it right,
Starting point is 00:17:50 the other person has the opportunity to say higher or lower than that guess. If they get it right, they get a point. But if they get it wrong, the person who guessed first gets the point. Sam, what number would you like? Number two, please, Ben. Number two. How many laps did Max Verstappen lead in 2023?
Starting point is 00:18:10 Oh, quite a lot, I reckon. Quite a bloody lot. He laid, okay, hold on. I can do this. You could do this. One thousand. No, that's not right. 1,000 are going 73.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Could you imagine if that was right? No, I can't. It's not 1,073. Harry, higher or lower? I'm going to go lower. It is lower. 1,073 is a good guess. Take 70 off it and you're right.
Starting point is 00:18:54 1,03. It was a close run thing at the end of the season whether he would get over that 1,000 barrier and he just about did. I was also looking, if he only raced in that 2023 season, I think he would be 20th all time for laps lead. Sure. Of course he would.
Starting point is 00:19:14 The old record was in the 700s for Sebastian Pessel. So, Harry, you get the point. What number would you like next? I've already forgotten what Sam said. Five and six chance. Number six. Oh, he's all right. My dad.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Still don't always. Can it come back? You know what I'm saying? Could it come back to buy me? Lisk is shush How many How many points finishes Does Lando Norris have?
Starting point is 00:19:46 Oh He has Oh, I don't know 107 He does not have 107 Sam, higher or lower
Starting point is 00:20:06 I'm going to go lower. Lower is incorrect. Harry, if I did this quiz before the Miami GP, you'd have had two points because of one short. 108 is the correct answer. Wow. Impressive guessed that. Very good.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Thank you. Sam, what number would you like next? Number five, please, Ben. Okay, so number five. know that down, yeah. This is half the game for me. Working out these bloody numbers. You're still too going to up.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Working out these numbers, one to six. It's a lot of numbers. Number five. How many circuits has Lewis Hamilton had at least ten podiums at? Cricky. Why can't these ever be easy? Might as well not do it at that point. It'd be nice, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:21:05 or at least 10 podiums. All right. It's been around for some signs. I'm going to go with 12. The answer is not 12. Harry, high or lower? Lower. Lower is correct.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Are you having a day off? No, you're not apparently. At least you asked me if I would have a day off. I'm just telling me. I appreciate that. Would you please have the day off? Your saying's a bit on fire tonight, Sam. Excellent work.
Starting point is 00:21:43 This is bloody old. I'm so. Bloody Bonjana. Send him to do lally. Would you please if I ask nicely do one? That is our function. The correct answer was eight. Wash.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Harry, what number would you like? Number two? No. Number one. You have number one. How many seasons has there been where a British driver has not won a race? Get this one right, mate, because I got a clue. There's Scooby over it. Not seven.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Sam, higher or lower? I swear to God, if this is not higher, after 75 years in Formula One, I will lose nothing because my hair's already going. I'll go higher. You need to lose everything, I'm afraid. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:22:57 I brought back the 50-50 cars today. Yeah. The correct answer. It's difficult to believe. The correct answer is two. Two. Oh, wow. We are so good at motorcar racing.
Starting point is 00:23:11 1952 and 2023. Hmm. Wow. Yeah. That is amazing. So, Harry, it's 4-0. I'm a real nail-biter. Sam, what number would you like?
Starting point is 00:23:29 Three! Three! How many drivers won races in the 2010s? Hmm. I'm going to go with 13. That's a good guess. It's not correct, though. Ah, rats.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Harry, higher or lower? I'm going to go higher. there you go, Sam, you can have a point. Yes! And it was a very good guess because if you'd used your guest for the Lewis Hamilton question, you'd have been spot on, it was 12.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Oh, I even, my head tossed up with it to go for 12 or 13. That's so irritating. But you are off the mark. It's 4-1. That's a great score. And now for the biggest question of all, Harry, what number would you like last?
Starting point is 00:24:31 four yeah come on come on surprise sorry sorry that's quite right how many points
Starting point is 00:24:49 did McLaren win the 1988 Constructors championship by 63 you know what George Russell fanboy it's not 63 Stam
Starting point is 00:25:00 I roll that pretty good that year but we didn't give out many points for wins you see so I'm going to say it was lower and you're wrong I have a real knack for this well man
Starting point is 00:25:21 there's some savage delivery then oh god the nail biter has come to a conclusion 5-1 At some point you really just have to accept your ability to get things wrong
Starting point is 00:25:36 To be fair you've got the high or lower win from the live show and that probably counts above all the other ones so I really wish I could say it does
Starting point is 00:25:45 but every single one stings it's time for late faking This is the lake faking where one is fake and the other ones are right. So help me, Christ, I'll make my decision in a second, Sam. You're going to have to wait because Ben made this game so hard, and I'm down by five.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Okay, late faking. So there are six questions in front of me. Harry and Sam will take it in turns to pick a number. Each number correlates to a question. And there are four answers in this question. One of them, though, is a fake. They need to identify which one it is to score the point. Sam, what number would you like to go with?
Starting point is 00:26:33 Number five, please, Ben. Number five. I'm going to give you four drivers. Three of them took a race win in the 2000s, but one didn't. Please say, thank you. It's wishful thinking. Okay, your four options. Eddie Irvine, Mika Hakenen,
Starting point is 00:26:56 Ralph Schumacher, and David Coulthard. Okay, and no Coulthard did because we discussed it on the classic Grand Prix literally yesterday. He was the previous one before Jinks and Button. So that's got to be one. Mika Hacking is a G. He obviously did it. So the question here is Ralphie the Malfi or Eddie Irvine. And only one of these boys held me.
Starting point is 00:27:20 So that's a curse. So Eddie Irvine didn't win in the 2000s. I don't understand the logic, but it's got to the right answer. Well done. Yes. Yeah, Eddie Irvine, all of his wins, I think, were just in the 1999 season. Jaguar let him down on that one. That's it.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Definitely Jaguar's fault. Yeah. Harry, what number would you like? Number two, please. I was really thinking you're going to say five. That's why I'll say it. I'm going to give you five drivers again. I want you to, three of them have raced for at least five different constructors.
Starting point is 00:27:57 I want you to name the driver that hasn't raced. for at least five. Okay. Dickie loud. Esteban Ockon. Mario Andretti, he said Michael then. Mika Hakenen's back again.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Okay. So they've all raced for five apart from one. At least five. At least five. Uh, Mika Hakenen. Mika Hakenen is the correct answer. Only raced for Lotus and McLaren.
Starting point is 00:28:29 I should clarify here, yet. You know, he's on sabbatical, so he might do more in the future. But he's only raced for two constructors so far. He could be he red ball go for, actually, for Stefan Leaves. Yeah. I'm okay, Mag. You've got Nikki Lauder with five different constructors. Ocon has already raced for six, and Andretti raced for seven.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Are you counting Rengo and Alpine? Tricky one. I think I did, but. Legally, I suppose they do stand as two separate. Oh, yeah. Both the fourth Indian racing point as well. Or did he do racing point? Was he booted out before they became racing point?
Starting point is 00:29:05 I think he was. I think he was. Yeah. Sure. Nice. Confidently in your hands, Ben. That's what I love to see. It's more than Mika Hakenen.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Sam, what number would you like? I love number one, please, Ben. Number one. Four drivers again, three of them have not had a season where they've scored zero points. One of these drivers has had a season where they've scored absolutely nothing. Kimmy Reichenan,
Starting point is 00:29:33 David Coulthard, Fernando Alonzo, Felipe Massa. Oh, so early 2000s. I'm going to say Fernando Alonso. It is Fernando Alonzo. God damn Marnardi couldn't give him one point.
Starting point is 00:29:57 And all three of those other drivers have scored at least one point in every season they took part in. This is going very well so far, Harry. Back to you. Number one. Okay, I'll give you four drivers. Three of them have not had a season where they've scored zero points. One of them. That's a clock.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Really? We just have number one. Number two. I know I've done number two. Oh, my God, so... Would you like your options? Number three? You can have number three.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Yeah. Except you won't want number three because it's about the year 2020 that didn't exist. Three of these drivers got a podium in 2020. One of these drivers did not. Sebastian Vettel, Lance Drol, Danny Kavilla,
Starting point is 00:30:48 and Lando Norris. Danny Kaffia. Absolutely right Vettel Strull and Norris all had podiums Kavilla finished 14th this season and he was the highest finisher not to get a podium
Starting point is 00:31:07 That is a great stat Honestly you take the Mercedes out of that championship And Verstappen It was an all-timer It was weird and wacky that year To all Sam, over to you Can't wait to bustle then
Starting point is 00:31:20 I'll have six please Ben Number six I'm going to give you four brands, things. Come on. Three of them have been an F1 sponsor. One hasn't. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Okay, so you've got Cartoon Network. Right. Fruit Winders. He's having me on it. The 1978 FIFA World Cup. Yeah. And Abba. It's got to be Fruit Winders.
Starting point is 00:31:54 I'm sorry, the moment you brought that out, I thought there's no chance that weird cartoon strawberry has appeared on a Formula One car. Aber I remember definitely. You were around, obviously, for Abba sponsoring F1. I was actually in Abba, famously.
Starting point is 00:32:10 It called me Sabah, and then they got rid of me. Based on the car. I remember the 78 World Cup, because I'm not playing in that. I was going to run down each one, but you've done my job for me, because that's point of it. Cartoon Network was on the Arrow's car in the early 2000s.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Carlos Reuteman ran the 1978 World Cup in 1972. He was six years out. Come on, Carlos. But it was the World Cup took place in Argentina where Rwinter was from. And then Abba was on the ATS in the early 1980s, as Slim Borgut, who was part of Abba, was driving that car. There's a lot of... weird sponcer crossovers in motorsport.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Yeah, there are. I might use some other ones again for another question because there was some I didn't take. In endurance racing, Newcastle United have a car. We used to have a car. It was black and white striped. It's amazing. There are some Chelsea's sponsored Salba.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Yeah, they did indeed. 3-2 to Sam. So we're on for a clean sweep here, Ari. if you can get number four, number four. Very good. I'm going to give you four drivers. Three of them have had 10 consecutive podiums in F1. One never did.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Alam Prost, Fernando Alonzo, Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher. Could be literally any of these people. I am so happy I did not get this question. I don't have no idea. Fernando Alonzo. No, not Fernando Alonzo. Alonzo had 15 consecutive podiums, I think,
Starting point is 00:33:58 as part of his 2005, 2006 run. Schumacher had 19 consecutive podiums at one point. Sebastian Vettel had 11 consecutive podiums twice. But Ross-Washed Allen? Yeah, he only got seven. It's absolutely useless. Yeah, useless Al and Prost. That's what they call him.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Prozzy. No. Oh, good. We've got a new game, and it's called You're Taking the Michael, which, if you're not British, I suppose, is quite a strange phrase. It means it's actually you're taking the Mickey,
Starting point is 00:34:56 it's the short version, or you're taking the... Swear whether, you get the point. Essentially, I've dressed up a true or false under the guise of Michael Schumacher because you are a lover of Michael Schumacher. That's all it is. It's a true or false about Michael Schumacher, and I'm sure you would admit you're a Michael Schumacher fan.
Starting point is 00:35:13 I am. I think if you actually scratched the surface, of most of our games. So just true or false, but with a different name. We're built on true or false. Real or no real? Just true or false.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Correct. A long so or a longs, yes. Hajja or Hajna. That might be the worst one. Genuinely. Well, I'm excited for this game. I'm going to get them all. Also, because you're playing against yourself,
Starting point is 00:35:41 I'm just going to go through the list. You haven't got to remember numbers to guess. What a day. Excellent news. It's a wing. love number one. It's a wing for you. No, wait.
Starting point is 00:35:49 No, that's been taking, I'm afraid. Okay, here we go then. First one, let's see if how many Harry you can get, playing along at home is just a bit of a giggle until Ben comes up with a real game that actually matters. Right, here we go. Michael Schumacher once disguised himself as a cab driver to avoid being recognised while holidaying around Norway.
Starting point is 00:36:09 I've absolutely just, I've only just remembered that Sam's written these, so these are going to be ridiculous. Oh, God, Sebastian Can is on its way. I'm going to go with false. Well, you would be wrong. It's true. Michael Schumacher went on holiday, switched roles with a taxi driver in Trondheim
Starting point is 00:36:35 so he could drive his family around himself. He then gave the driver a large tip as a thank you for letting him pilot the car. He drove the taxi driver with him as well. Well, yeah, he wasn't just going to leave him curbside. That's funny. I just thought you could call this Michael Schumachiar or Michael Schumachna. I see, that's where this podcast falls down in a hole.
Starting point is 00:36:57 So we can't keep doing that. I thought taking the Michael was clever. No, it is, to be fair. Because when you get one's wrong, you could go, nah, you're taking the Michael. All right, I'll do that next time I get it wrong and won it. Or if you believe it's false or a joke, you could say many ways, many ways. I play at home. Say it.
Starting point is 00:37:15 radio. Next one. During his Ferrari years, Schumacher insisted on having a goat around the paddock named Turbo in the team garage for good luck. No.
Starting point is 00:37:28 He did have a goat. It might as Schumacher's seven time when champions in and bring a goat to the circuit. Come on, man. That one is false. The only goat was Schumacher himself. Yes. And it was going to turbo. Come on, Turbo. Come on.
Starting point is 00:37:43 In we go. Bring that. Termo the goat. Good. Okay. So that's one correct, one incorrect so far. Well done. He was so obsessed with fitness, was Michael Schumacher, that upon his private jet,
Starting point is 00:38:00 he instilled and still with a fully functional gym and he would work out every time that he flew on his private jet. Drawfubs. Oh. That's a tricky one. Private jet isn't that big. Can you put a fully functional gym? it depends how big that private shit is as opposed
Starting point is 00:38:18 if you're seeing the 737 yeah that's like air bus say 380 private air bus impressive I'll go for
Starting point is 00:38:27 I'll go for true seems like I'm about do that you would be right sir it is true Michael goodness two out of three
Starting point is 00:38:34 well done Schumack and had a tailor gym set up in his jet he can work out during travel a reflection of how far
Starting point is 00:38:41 ahead he was in terms of physical preparation for F1 you can tell that I was in a much more Saints will move when I wrote some of these descriptions because they actually have examples and reasoning behind them. Question number four.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Oh, this is a good one. Michael Schumacher was briefly banned from using public go-kart tracks in Germany because he kept laughing children too aggressively. Laughing them aggressively, ramming them off. Get out of the way, child. No, surely not. You're not banning the prodigal son from German go-car tracks, surely.
Starting point is 00:39:15 God. Yeah, it's false. It's false. He did like to spend a longer time on go-kart tracks, and if you are a fan of Schumacher, you'll know that he used to race occasionally with suiting him, just so he could get a little bit of practicing here and there,
Starting point is 00:39:30 but, you know, he didn't lap young children in a very aggressive man, which is a real shame. A bit of a change of shoe here from Michael Schumacher, but he once paid for a new hospital centre in Sarajevo, after visiting post-war Bosnia. Wow.
Starting point is 00:39:49 He seemed like a generous chap. I'll go for yes. True. Well, yeah, I mean, it'd be awkward if I'd made that one. Yeah, if he said false, he'd like, no, actually, he's a terrible human. He really besmeesh his name. He visited and went, I'm not paying for that. Go away.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Look at you lot, struggling. Bye on my private jet. I'm going to work out. Just like lifting, pumping iron. Pumping iron, no way. No. This is true. After visiting Sarajevo and seeing the aftermath of the war, Schumacher donating $1.5 million to fund a special clinic for war victims, specifically children who are victims of that war. So those last kids, they're in the hospital. They're having a good time. Thanks, Michael. Goodness me. Good, good. Two more now. Two more. This is a good one as well. chocolate buttings, so.
Starting point is 00:40:47 False. Immediately far. I love a chocolate button. When Schumacher won, he ran up to Tot with his hands out saying, Shockey buttons, please, Mr. Tot. No. Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:41:05 It's true, but I made this up. Yes. Chalky buttons, please, Mr. Tott. I don't share my accent. Yeah, give me the jocky buttons. Jockey buttons, please, Mr. Todd. One for you, Michael.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Ben's listening to this with his head in his hands. No, it's not. I bet he's gagging to play. Take it to Michael. Final one. You've got one wrong, so you've done very well. Michael Schumacher was a big fan of dogs and had many. At one point, he owned 11 Pomeranians,
Starting point is 00:41:44 and he named them all after different racetracks that he had won at. Oh. Um, I know he was a big fan of dogs. I feel like, did he have 11 dogs? Or Pomeranians to be specific. I'll go with false. False.
Starting point is 00:42:02 He did have lots of dogs, but there's no evidence that he kept a mini F1 grid or fluffy pups that he named after wooden tracks down, fortunately. Well done. I think you got, I think there were seven there. Well done me. Six out of six out of six.
Starting point is 00:42:14 which is a pretty good record for you. Good job. Come on, Nuremberg, walkies. Magnicor, don't do that. Down Magnicor. Leave Eddie alone. Eddie Irvine's cowering in a corner.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Oh, Lord. Well, great game. And I will look forward to the return of you taking the Michael. Never. Next time we have to do a show together. That's why it will come back. I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Shut, shut, shut, shut, shut, shut, shut, shut, shut, shut, shut, shut, shut, show me the options. Okay, show me the options. There are six questions in front of me. Sam and Harry will take it in terms to pick a number, which has a question behind it. If they are confident about the answer, they can go for it. Give me an answer. And if they're an answer in if they They get it right. They get two points. If they could use a little bit of help, I will offer up three options. If they say the magic words, show me the options, at which point. If they get the answer correct, they get one point. And we'll start today with Harry.
Starting point is 00:43:28 What number would you like? Number one, please, Ben. A classic, if you ask me. Classic. The original, the OG. Yeah, not much comes before it, you know. who started on the front row of last year's Canadian GP
Starting point is 00:43:45 oh crap do you have to name both of them the whole row you have to name the whole row two yes I know one of them but I can't remember the second which is a real pain um
Starting point is 00:44:05 George Russell and Max for Stappen you're going to feel you are absolutely right well done and why am I asking the question apart from it's my job
Starting point is 00:44:23 because otherwise there'd be no game I don't know what was the what was special about that qualifies oh they had exactly the same time didn't they at exactly the same time yes what's it exactly like a zero zero zero
Starting point is 00:44:36 zero time as well yeah boom Yeah, yeah. It was only the second time after 1997 that it's happened. So, Harry, two points to you. Sam, what number would you like? Just to be clear, so I don't know really stupid. I meant like it was like a 112000-0-0.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Like that was the time, got that the gap between them was zero-zero. So we're aware. It's okay, good. Just I'll make sure that we all knew what I was talking about there. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it wasn't more than zero. Yeah. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Okay, yeah. I'll pick number three, my lord. Ooh, an early one. Okay. Which season saw Mercedes get their highest points total ever? Oof, size large. 2014? It is not 2014.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Oh, well. You were right to go for the earlier end of that era, but it's 2016. All right, then. We should have done better, shouldn't they? All right, Nico. Well done, mate. One year, okay. Harry, what number would you like next?
Starting point is 00:45:42 Number two, Ben. Number two, the first Torosso car ran with which engine? When you say which, do you mean manufacturer or size? Manufacturer. What intelligent question that was to go back with. Thank you. Is it a Ferrari? No, it's not a Ferrari.
Starting point is 00:46:07 I was adamant that if I got that, it was Scuderia to Orozzo. It did run with a Ferrari, but a Cozworth? It was a Cosworth, yes. Wow. A V10 Cozy, wasn't it? Cozetteen Cozy. Is there anything more beautiful than a V10 Cozai? No.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Can I say, no, and we'll move on. Correct. Sam, what number would you like next? Number five, please, Ben. Number five. Why, in 2012, did Kimmy Reichen and state he'd prefer to finish fourth that season rather than third? I'm not the answer to this. Some of my options, please.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Why? Okay, your options are, three is an unlucky number in Finland. third would mean he'd have to do a sit-down interview at the end of the season or third would mean he'd have to go to the FIA prize-giving ceremony that was it it was the prize-giving ceremony I think yeah I knew he didn't want to do something because of third place yeah yeah um Harry what number do you like is 2-1 to you at the moment I'm just going to say he did have to go to the prize ceremony in 2018
Starting point is 00:47:29 but got absolutely wasted I've never seen one drunk man of a lot So drunk. Him and Mick Schumann. Something around. Oh, man, I forgot what Sam said last. Number six. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:45 That's that from you. Thank you. Which driver has had the most career grand slams? Show me my options. We're lackluster on that. We're retired. Your options are Jim Clark, Sebastian Vettel.
Starting point is 00:48:04 and Alan Jones. Is that me that? That's clarky. Clarkie? Yeah. Oh man, sorry, Jim. I had eight of them. Run, Jim.
Starting point is 00:48:17 Jimmy. Jimmy. Show that I had a weird fascination with the game, Jimmy. That on the Wii, you know, the original Nintendo Wii, my me's that you always created were all called Jimmy. Obviously. Why? No, that's the wrong question.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Sorry, sorry, no. I forgot where it. I forgot we're doing a podcast. Move on. Oh, man. Did he say, which fall of that? Let's go, just Jimmy. Like a Brazilian, one game.
Starting point is 00:48:50 Yeah, but all of them were called Jimmy, so they all had the same name. Sorry, Ben. Same game. Can't go out of himself. Really can't. Just fascinating. Sam, would you like number four or number four? I'll have number four, please, Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Great choice. Hey, I'm not a me. How many drivers took part in the 2024 F1 season? Oh, more than seven, I reckon. Lower. Okay, so, hold on, I'm going to try a bit of working out. Ooh. You've got 24 fingers, that, mate.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Oh, yeah. Oh, if I get two, I wing. If I get a drawer, it's a little, if I get one, it's a draw, right? Correct. Oh, crap, that really applies some pressure. I thought I really lost. It's not that deep, to be fair. It is, that important to me.
Starting point is 00:49:48 23. 24. It is 24, yeah. Damn it! I would say which one you missed, but I don't know which one you missed. So, yeah. Olly Bearman. Liam Lawson came in
Starting point is 00:50:02 and I think I estimated there was another one Jack Dewin Oh yeah At the end And Daniel Ricardo as well Oh we didn't start the season Did he did start the season
Starting point is 00:50:15 Did he took part Yeah And then he got replaced by Liam Lawson So he took part So that's 21 We're 24 In the 22 And then Bermin 23
Starting point is 00:50:24 I can't think he's the other one Is that I don't write this down Hold on, I'll look it up for you. We'll have a quick, please hold caller. Oh, sergeant. Oh, yeah. Ah, there you go.
Starting point is 00:50:39 The risinator. The ris man. It's forgettable, apparently. Which means, Harry, you take a two, one win. Well done to you. Took an early league, did nothing else. I'll take it. Part of the bus.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Jose Marigni of LB podcasting. That's what they say. What a regular basis. Welcome back to the second and maybe last edition of Hish Gila 1. Harry was like, I need, I need to play a game of Histula 1. Because last time it was just me and Sam's. So you've got your wish, Harry. Great news.
Starting point is 00:51:33 How do you play it? That's a great question, and I will let you know. So there are six events in front of me. You'll take it in terms to pick a number between one and six. I will let you know the event. What you have to do is tell me who was the world champion in the year that event happened. So there's F1 knowledge required here, but you're also going to need a little bit of histories slash knowing dates knowledge as well.
Starting point is 00:52:01 It might be the last time we play this, folks. Enjoy. No, I think this deserves a jingle. Let's go working on this. Okay, I'll write some lyrics. One day, Ben's going to do this, Harry, where he's going to pick vague moments from our personal history.
Starting point is 00:52:14 That's the scary part of where this is going. I would, but our personal history is like 90% Lewis Hamilton wins. So it might not be that exciting. Harry, since you are playing for the first time, you can have the first number pick. I'll have number two, please, Ben. Okay, number two.
Starting point is 00:52:33 The euro is first introduced as a currency. Ooh. Who was world champion when that happened? Nikki Lauder. No, it was not Nicky Lauder. No stealing in this one, Sam, but you go more recent or earlier? Mansell? Uh, you gotta keep going, 1999.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Blimey, really, that late? Mika Hakener. I thought it was early, early, late Aces. The 1st of January, 1999. Um, do you still want to play, Ari? Or are you done now? No, no, I'm intrigued by how this is all going to play out. It could be no-no.
Starting point is 00:53:19 It probably will be no-no. I got six out of eight last time. Hey, that's very, why are there any six this time then? Just making this up as you go along. son. Every game ever. Why do you say that was such a shock? The whole podcast.
Starting point is 00:53:33 Good point. It's a good point. Sam, what number would you like? Three. Wow, an early three. Okay. Oof. Gangnam style becomes the first YouTube video to hit one billion views.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Oh, you can do this, son. Oh. It's a crossover between one of two here. What year is? of score was I, when this came out. That's the real issue. Sebastian Vessel. Correct.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Sebastian Vessel was world champion. It was 2012. And at that point, the world went downhill. Well, it did until we heard it in an Uber in Austin, at full volume. I haven't heard anything else since. So loud.
Starting point is 00:54:24 Sam, you lead one. Are you enjoying this, guys? I mean, by there, did he say that? I couldn't hear him. Guys, if you get Austin, Uber's are wild. We don't need to tell the people about it. They all heard it. All around the world.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Sides dance in South Korea. While we're hearing an Uber in Austin. God. He can't help himself and he hears it. A little bit of a wopopop. Whatever that means. Or Gorman. Wang in the words, me.
Starting point is 00:55:03 It's not nil-nil, as Harry predicted. It's one nil-a-sav. Harry, back to you. Number six, please. Number six. Michael Phelps wins eight gold medals at a single Olympic Games. Oh, that could be any Olympic games for the last 60 years. Do you know who Michael Phelps is?
Starting point is 00:55:22 Man, it's like a frog. Just keeps swimming. Yeah, but he's not over 60 years old. Who knows? A good description of one of the best Olympic swimmers of all time. Like a frog. Lewis Hamilton. He's got this game sussed out now.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Lewis Hamilton is the correct answer. And ageing. He's on it. Sound back to you. Five, please. Number five. Michael Jackson Releases Thriller
Starting point is 00:55:57 Oh right, okay Relates his thriller Yes Hmm Now that is 80s Late mid to late 80s I'm producer Kirstie playing along
Starting point is 00:56:14 I like it I like it I'm going to go with Prost Not Alan Prost I'm sorry, would you have, what might you have gone for? I know, yeah, well, Senna in that case, maybe. Is it Manxel?
Starting point is 00:56:34 No, a bit earlier. 1982, which was the year that Kekeke-Rolskug won his only championship. That is a thriller. That really is a thriller. I almost don't want to do the other questions now. That's so beautiful. Harry, back to you. Oh, epic.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Number one. Number one, the PlayStation 1 is released. You get this one. Michael Schumacher. It is Michael Schumacher. What would you've guessed year out of interest? 95? 94.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Good effort. Damn. Although, to be fair, it was released in Europe in 95. So released in Japan. Well, that's obviously what I meant, mate. We are in Europe, so I suppose I was, I thought we, I thought we saw to that like nine years ago that we're not. Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:33 That works out. Well, it's up for debate. Yeah. We are geographically part of Europe, yes, everyone, because you're confused. A bit of Brexit back there for the, yeah. Who's remaining? Don't answer. Sam.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Would you like number four or number four? I think I'll have a number four, please. Good choice, sir. For the draw, Tick-Tock is launched. Tick what, sorry? TikTok is launched. Oh, TikTok. What country is it launched, Jim Ben?
Starting point is 00:58:08 China, I think. Okay. As a slightly different name in the first place. The origin. Yes, it was musically before. Before that, successor to Vine, of course, the OG best app of all time. We have been great on Vine. this podcast.
Starting point is 00:58:23 The history of social media we're getting here. Just the whole thing. There's a great podcast actually by Benedict Townsend. Listen to it, called Six Seconds of All right. It's really interesting. I'll plug there as well. There you go.
Starting point is 00:58:35 But not for us. It's how bad's work. Nika Rosberg. You're absolutely right, sir. Well done. 2016. Excellent work. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:48 Which means absolute friller, as Michael Jackson would say. but it's a two-in-a-old draw. In 1982. Well, I enjoyed that. I would like to play that again. I don't care what the listeners think. I enjoyed it.
Starting point is 00:59:03 That's a great motto for the podcast. I don't care what the listeners think. I would like the events to get slowly more and more vague. They might do. Tony Blair had his first birthday. I love how it wouldn't be. When he was born, when he had his first birthday. God, he trying to like it when he's born and then, oh, yeah, come on.
Starting point is 00:59:36 Got it. Not interested in it when he was born. When did he have his first birthday? You can do that for so many things. It would be great. 70 people. When is their first birthday? What was the fifth anniversary of Harry,
Starting point is 00:59:52 Hill's birth. We can't let you go. Right. Welcome back to the final part of today's episode. That was more seamless than the first one. Come on. We didn't say anything that time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:07 We like to play a game on this podcast from time to time called Formula Fortunes, which is a bit of a play on family fortunes. But we are in the US. So we are going to have to go with the US version. So we are going with Formula Feud. I see a lot. I want to hear a fun bit behind the scenes right now. Go on.
Starting point is 01:00:49 I forgot my pang. Oh, you've brought up on them up. It's bought a permanent marker for me. I can't be a permanent marker. And I just want, please help me on this whiteboard. Help. Please. Are you going to have to share a pen?
Starting point is 01:01:04 We might have to share a pen, sir. Well, it's okay because once you've got a permanent marker for a pen, my whiteboard's just gone walkabout. What do you mean? It's over there. Producer Kirsty's stolen it. We are professionals. Don't you think about it.
Starting point is 01:01:19 well this is great great um right so formula fortunes or formula fortunes or formula feud as we're playing in this instance we have six questions that we have asked all of you lovely people and some members of the discord as well and essentially we're looking for the guys to get the most popular answers so if they're able to find the most popular answer to the question they get four points if it's the second most popular answer is three, third most popular answer is two, and then if they get the fourth most popular answer, they'll get a point. If they can't get any of those whatsoever, I will play this noise, which no one wants to hear.
Starting point is 01:02:03 So, and we'll be interested in what you think as well about that guess is whether there's a better guess out there before I reveal the results. So question number one, and the only question for Sam, because it's permanent, What is the most underrated circuit on the calendar? Ooh. I'll let you decide. I'll take in turns answers. Good stuff.
Starting point is 01:02:31 Okay. I should be thinking of my answer. That's a good idea. Okay. Hmm. God. Does this get cut out normally? Yeah, probably.
Starting point is 01:02:45 When we play games, I regularly don't know the answer. You're presenting that like it's news. These guys listen. And I tend to do little songs or noises when my brain works. And that's what I'm doing right now. I'm talking to you. I'm desperately trying to think of an answer. The problem is Sam talks.
Starting point is 01:03:03 You're asking to think, but he can't do that. I have an answer. Okay. What have you got, Harry? Bahrain. Sam? Cota. Ah, Sam's gone for the cheap pop.
Starting point is 01:03:19 Absolutely love it. Right. Any answers that you would consider? I know. I do. Hi. I am. Harry, how did you say that from over there?
Starting point is 01:03:35 That was impressive. Well, let's have a look at the answers. Twelve votes for Las Vegas. That would get you one point. 13 votes, and I did hear this, two points, Baku. We are giving out some points because 15 votes, three points for Cota. Yeah! Have you been beaten, though?
Starting point is 01:04:03 Have you been beaten by Bahrain? Four points, 16 votes, if you said. Circuit Jill Villeneuve, Montreal. Canadian GP. I'm really also expecting that. Yeah, that was probably the closest one of the lot, actually. You play the noise. Oh, yeah, sorry, Aaron.
Starting point is 01:04:25 Okay, so, Sam, you've got your three points, and that was your only question, so we need to see if Harry can get any points in these five. Three nil, as we go to question number two, what current driver would look most natural in a pickup truck? Ooh Don't give him my days He hasn't made it down yet Casley
Starting point is 01:04:50 Um What If we have a toy Yeah Toy pick up truck You get I can't think If we keep going I think all of the drivers on the grid
Starting point is 01:05:06 Will be said so Thank you. This is a very efficient system we've got here. I am going to listen to that first person. Sam, your answer? The Hulk? Harry, your answer? Nico Hulk.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Oh! That works. Okay, one point if you said. Oscar Piastri, 10 votes. Two points, 20 votes, if you said. Fernando Alonzo. Three points, 22 votes, if you said, Liam Lawson. But the correct answer in this instance with 30 votes,
Starting point is 01:05:55 Nika Holkenberg. That's you. All right, strong start here. Sam's seven, seven four up. Three. because they deserve the extra point. Okay. Taking them off him.
Starting point is 01:06:10 Right. Yeah, you just don't have a point. All right. All right. 20, nil. Got him. Question three. Oh, he dabbed.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Okay. Who on the current grid is the most likely future team principle? Ooh. I might start dancing between these. I think that's the entertainment everyone wants. We have to do something in between. I've already rid it down, you moron. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:53 Okay. Harry, what have you got? Carlos Sines. Sam? Fernando. All right. If you're Spanish, you're going to be a team. principle. That's what we're saying. Well, one point, ten votes.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Max Verstappen. Ooh. Two points. 14 votes, if you said, Fernando Alonzo. Three points, 36 votes. And there was only one vote in it between first and second here. 36 votes for Carlos Sines. So three points for you.
Starting point is 01:07:32 But that means we don't have the top answer on the stage. George Russell, 37 votes, would have been the top answer. I actually forgot about Russell. That's a very good shout. Damn, I'm lucky, mate. Damn, game's got our hands. Question number four. Which team has the brightest future? Oh, what? Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:10 Okay. Sam, your answer? Williams. Harry, your answer? Austin Martin. I mean. Well, I'm not sure which one you'll appreciate more. Harry, you get to keep your job and one point.
Starting point is 01:08:42 Ben, that's all I ask for in my life. Yeah, that's fair. 12 votes. Two points, if you said, Audi or Salba, 16. Three points if you said Mercedes, that's 20 votes. But this was a runaway winner. 54 votes. Four points, if you said, as Sam did, Williams.
Starting point is 01:09:04 Yay! Two to go. Question number five. Which driver is most likely to cook their brisket in the microwave? Oh my lord. That could be any of them. You've got to visualise all 20 drivers doing it. How dare you?
Starting point is 01:09:37 That man fries a sausage perfectly. Okay. Okay. Harry, what have you got? Lance Strohl. All right. Ignore what I said about keeping your job. Sam.
Starting point is 01:09:49 Lance straw. Okay. Brad, cook my brisket. One point. If you said, Olly Bearman. Fourteen. Brisket Bearman.
Starting point is 01:10:04 That's all called. Brisket Bearman. gets you a point. Two points if you said Kimmy Antonelli, 15 votes. Not old enough to work on microwave.
Starting point is 01:10:13 But very close, very close between the top two here. Three points, 24 votes if you said, Lando Norris. But the winner, giving both Harry and Sam, four points.
Starting point is 01:10:31 Landstrol cooks his brisket in the microwave. 26 votes. And the final question. Question number six. Who has been driver of the season so far? Ooh. Oh, Lord, son.
Starting point is 01:10:51 A little bias going to be on this one. Fernando. No, wait. I advise not using the same answer as your last one. Oh, I have done this so terrible. I know I'm not supposed to give out hints, but... We're good. Okay, Sam, what have you got?
Starting point is 01:11:19 Do, do, do, do. Nice for Stafford. Harry, who have you got? I have said the same, but I just forgot how long his name was. Sorry. That does say, Vastap Petten. Well, do we think it is for Slappan? We'll see if he comes out on top.
Starting point is 01:11:47 One point, Isaac Hadjar. Yeah. Boom. Woo! Well, on to the Rizler. I should say, well, I should say, Isaac Hajar got 10 votes. The Rizler got one.
Starting point is 01:12:01 So I added them together for 11. They know me, yes, the Rizler. Two points. if you said George Russell 12 votes 3 points if you said
Starting point is 01:12:11 Oscar Piastri 35 votes but again a bit of a runaway winner here 4 points if you said and you can hear it coming da da da
Starting point is 01:12:23 Max Max for Stappan Max for Stappan 63 votes for Vastappan gets you four points So, Sam won that. I don't know what the score was in the end. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:42 I only win, like, it's a live show. I should say, with that last question, Landstrol got a vote. Gabrielle Bortoletto got a vote. Who did it? Nicholas Latifie got a vote. He graduated. Lando Norris did not get one vote.
Starting point is 01:13:03 That is savage. You are horrible people. We don't vote for us. Now, all that remains to be done. Sam, if you wouldn't mind, sadly, getting us out of it. The end of our live show. Let's hear it for our live audience. You have being spectacular.
