Starting point is 00:00:00 This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network. Thank you for listening to the Late Breaking F1 podcast. Make sure to check out new episodes every Wednesday and every Sunday. Hello and a very warm welcome to the second of our two special episodes to round out the year. This one's all about our best games of the year in all their ridiculousness. But yeah, happy New Year's Eve, because we believe this one's going out on the 31st. So this is officially the last episode of 2023. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 00:00:53 We've made it through to our most successful year of all time. And that is down mostly to you, brilliant people. A lot of Kerski as well, but also you for making it wonderful and supporting us and listening. And you really have made this a brilliant thing. So enjoying New Year's and think of us as you move on into 2024, for we will be thinking of you. Our only friends. I like the idea that it's mostly down to the listeners and a bit Kirstie, which I fully agree with,
Starting point is 00:01:25 but not us. It's nothing to do with us through me in a good year. Any of you lock and step up and do this. We're just looking our way along. Yeah, happy, happy new year, everyone. I hope you're having great New Year's Eve celebrations, whether that's going out of staying in.
Starting point is 00:01:47 What you should do is, instead of doing the countdown to New Year, you should start this show from 10 seconds from now, ready? 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3. 3! Happy New Year! Your Nang won't know what's hitter. Welcome to 2024, you filthy animals. What the hell was that?
Starting point is 00:02:18 That's how we start the new year. baby. That's how they do in Essex. Goodness me. Sam's on the sugar rush. He's had chocolate Christmas buttons and a curly wurley. He's had a curly wurly. God. It's all gone off the rails. On a more serious, though, just to echo what Sam says, this has been a record-breaking year for us. We've been able to go across Lay Big Wet to the US GP in Texas. We've attended multiple Williams Fan Zone events this year. We've had record numbers. in terms of downloads and listens. So it has been a wonderful year and it is down to you.
Starting point is 00:02:55 We enjoy nothing more than being morons together on a twice weekly basis. And we're just so happy that you're along for the ride with us. So it is massively appreciated. And it's only a few days until our first episode of 2024. That will be with you on Wednesday. 10K YouTube, YouTube. We're working on it. I said 2024, Sam.
Starting point is 00:03:20 2028. Sorry, sorry. Oh dear. Have we had enough of this year now? We don't. I think so. Well, nearly. We've still got some of our best games to show you.
Starting point is 00:03:34 We're actually going to shut up and go away now as you listen to some of the most random games that we've had this year. A bit of back and forth from Shawl making appearance and all of our other classics as well. Hope you enjoy. Bring on the bank. Bye. All right, here we go. F1, order please. Oh yes, me.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Play the jingle. Oh, God, I hope this is that one, man. 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. French, son.
Starting point is 00:04:12 I always do think you sound French. I think it's a good impression, but I do definitely dip into a little bit of a la froncée. Oh dear. Yes. Good stuff. Fond order, please. So Harry versus Sam in this game where I will give them a category.
Starting point is 00:04:35 There are four answers within the category and they need to order them based on some sort of system. Could be oldest to youngest. Could be most wins to least wins. All different examples of what they can be. They have to go ahead and order them, as I say, if they get it right, right? They will hear, well, I mean, this doesn't work anymore because I can't do the, I can't give you the, the John Burko order when you're right. Oh, I don't think I've loaded that one anymore.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I'll do it live. Okay, fine. But I don't know if they're right. So I'll just do it from my question. Well, that's more the point in that I'm telling you if they're right or not. I don't want to hear it from Ben. Maybe you do it live, Ben. Maybe you just go, order. You might be able to do it live then. You might be able to still play it on here.
Starting point is 00:05:19 I want to see him do it live. All right, fine. Good. Yeah, I'll do it live. It doesn't happen all that often anyway. So if I, yeah, if they get it right, they get a point and they have ordered it correctly. If they don't get it right, it gives the other person the opportunity to steal the point, but there is risk involved in that because they will get a point if they steal it correctly. But if they also get it wrong, they will lose a point, which means minuses are in the offering, folks. So numbers one through to six, Sam, what number would you like to? kick us off. I'll have number one, please, Ben. Number one. So I'm going to give you four sponsors of McLaren. Oh, that's funny.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Yeah, a bit of a different one. I want you to tell me from when they first join the team to when they last join the team. So who was a sponsor of McLaren first through to last? Okay. So you've got Dell. Yep. Hilton. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:19 The best sponsor name in the world, Splunk. and Google this is this is tough because gang of them are also really title sponsors I thought you're going to be like West
Starting point is 00:06:34 Mulbra Mulbra Moldra Vodaf all of these are still sponsors now I mean just in terms of when they first joined Okay
Starting point is 00:06:43 in terms of oldest to newest I'm going to go with yeah Dell oldest Hilton second old Google Splunk. Great name.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Great name. Not right on this occasion. Do you want the opportunity to steal? Oh, have it, mate? No. I don't blame you. I probably wouldn't have been anywhere near this one. The oldest sponsor of McLarenis Hilton,
Starting point is 00:07:10 that goes back all the way to 2005. So that one was the oldest. Then it's Dell, 2018. They joined the team. Then it's Splunk 2020. And then Google was, new for last year, so 2022. So that would have been the correct order.
Starting point is 00:07:26 It didn't get a single one in the right place. Ah well. That's quite a talent. You could have had Google first. That's true. Maybe I should have used Google to get it right. I'll have number two, please. Good.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Good stuff. First win. So four drivers here, I'll give you, I want you to say when they had their first win from earliest to latest. So you've got one Pablo Montoya, Rubens Barakello. Mr. Cray. Mr. Cri. I can't wait to hear what the next two are going to be.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Kimmy Reikinen. Mr. Icy. And Ralph Schumacher. Mr. Malfy. I knew that was coming. How are he's coughing. He's gone. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:19 I think Barakle is the first. Ralphie Malfi. Ralfi. Ralph with the mouth, he's in second. Then, then Montoya, then Reiklin. Oh, that is so hilarious. Well done.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Thank you. Yeah, well done. Barakello was first, Germany 2000 on that one. Then it was Ralph Schumacher who, I didn't even set this up with the intention of this, but it's actually the anniversary
Starting point is 00:09:03 of that win today, San Marino 2001. Today. Yeah. on this day. It's a Saturday. 20 years ago, yeah. Yeah, but the dates move.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Oh, yeah, that is how time works, isn't it? You know what? That's a good shout, in it? Yeah. In got all that, everyone. I've said that. It's a Saturday.
Starting point is 00:09:23 No, don't do it. Montoya was Monzao 1 and then Reichenham was Malaysia 03. So Harry is on the board. All done. Sam, back to you. I'll have number six, please. Number six. I'm going to give you four drivers who've all won the GP2 championship.
Starting point is 00:09:45 I want you to tell me from earliest to latest when they won that championship. I don't like that watch the racing. So you've got three in one episode. That's enough. Emo Glock. Roman Grojan. The Phoenix. Davidey Valsacki.
Starting point is 00:10:07 And Nico Ullgenberg. Okay. I think Glock was first. I think then it was Valseki, then Holgerberg, then Grosjean. That is not the correct order. Oh, we're all so shocked. You think it's so big, don't you, Ben? I'm not taking it.
Starting point is 00:10:41 I've got no idea. Sorry. you had the right start Timo Glock 2007 he won the GP2 championship it was then Nico Holcomberg in 2009 Roman Grojean in 2011 because weirdly he actually raced an F1 then went back to GP2 and won the title
Starting point is 00:11:00 and then Valseki won in 2012 Valsaki was my outlier I wasn't sure where to put him yeah he was part of a group like three or so GP2 champions that just never made it to F1 respect for Fabio Limer. Okay, we stay at 1-0.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Harry, back to you. Number four, please. Number four. Four drivers, from most to least, how many points did they get in 2020? Now, that's the season you forget exists. I do. I genuinely do.
Starting point is 00:11:36 I forgot about that. Every time you forget 2020 exists. Yeah. COVID- Sergio Perez, Alex Albin, and Esteban O'Con. It's a tough one.
Starting point is 00:11:53 That is tough. You'll guess it right, though. From least to most, or most to least? It doesn't really matter. Most to least. Most to least. Most, I'll go for Lando Norris. Then I'll go for... I forgot only two of them up.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Album wasn't very good, but he did have a red bull. Strong logic, yeah. That's like saying, Sam's an idiot, but he has got 100 million pounds. Yeah. One of those things is true. Yeah, I am very much. So Norris Perez Albon Ockland.
Starting point is 00:12:47 It's not the correct down. Oh. Bated me then. Sam, do you want to try and level things up at one all by stealing? I mean, I am a little, little crim, little criminal. So, yeah. A burger. I'm coming in the night.
Starting point is 00:13:02 I'm taking your points. George Russell over here. Cricy. I randomly was watching some highlights of the 2018 Chinese GP the other day. Okay. And Martin, it's when Ricardo wins. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:13 And Martin Brundall calls him a burglar. Yes. It's a race win. It came up on my feed this morning, weirdly. That's weird. You've stolen it, you little burglar. You're such a burglary. Yeah, I'll still let it get it wrong, though.
Starting point is 00:13:24 So I like a good minus point. So do I? It's good fun. So, yeah, I'll steal. Go on then what order you want? I'd steal. And they'd just not say the answers. Yeah, I can't remember what you.
Starting point is 00:13:34 You say anything else, that's going to go. I'll give the same arts as you just did. I'm going to go with Norris Top, Perez, O'Kong, Albon. Yeah, you managed to get further away, I'm afraid. Oh, that's classic, mate. Further away from winging as well now. We really, really hate album, I think. I think we... I just thought he was...
Starting point is 00:13:54 And you know what? I was getting... One of my takeaways out he was going to be. He put some respect on his name. Yeah, I agree. Well, one person you need to put some respect on their name is Sergio Perez, because he was the first of... Was he? That group, 125 points. Then it was Alex Alburn on 105.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Lando Norris, 97, and then Esteban Ockham was last, was 62. That racing point would be crazy. I really thought Norris had a better year than that. So you go. I thought that McLaren was good that year. Yeah, I mean, it was, but I mean, then racing point was good as well. Is that the year he won all the way from the back? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Yeah. He was quite good that race. That race that somehow is like his 27th best race in F1 apparently. Literally second best race. Okay, so you both have one point. Unfortunately, one of you does have a minus in front of that one. That's okay. We carry on.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I'm on fire. We've got two to go, which means it's back to Sam. Number three or number five? I have number five, please. Yeah, I was going to say you probably made the right call, but you probably won't like either of these. So here we are. He knows me too well.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Four drivers. Pick number three, my lord. Oh, saying it, a minute. I'd want you to name these four drivers, list them in terms of when they first. won a title. So you've got Mike Hawthorne. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Phil Hill. Yeah. Good old pill. Ascari. Yeah. And Fangio. From the oldest to winging the title, the first person to do it to most recent.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Yeah. I'm going to go Ascari, Fangio, Hawthorne, big pill. I love that. It's not the correct down. Is it not?
Starting point is 00:15:48 Is that what you thought as well? I thought you'd nailed that. I thought I nailed it as well. I was quite smug. Well, on that basis, I'm not stealing it. I think Pilling Horthong on the wrong way around then. The other one, the other two are the other way around. So Fangio first won a title in 1951.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Alberto Oskari first won its title at 1952. I'm even researching that. I'm gonna swan. My Corphell first won it in 1958 and Hill, Hill was 1961. I thought Fangio was 53. I thought who won the first ever championship in 50?
Starting point is 00:16:23 Farina. Even I knew that. So it's okay, you're winning. It was Farina, then Fangio, then Ascari won two, and then Fangio won his other four in a row. Scarry's so good, didn't he? Best corner of all, of all time.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Two-town War Chal. He was doing the dance back in 1953. He's the OG of the dance. Number three, please. Number three, me lord. Yeah, number three. Four corners at Spa When they first appear on the lap
Starting point is 00:16:58 To when they last appear Stable. The lap, please. Stablo. It's making it up. It's not, it's called Stavalo, not Stablo. Wasn't that on the top of get a track? Stablo.
Starting point is 00:17:10 It's the Cockney version. Yeah. Good. All right. The first corner, Stavalo. Pull for a. Campus and Brousel.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Oh, like, Call Ferreira after this podcast. Is this on the current circuit? They're all lies. Yes. This is not like the old one. I didn't know any of this. Why can't this without Monsa? We're going to nailed it.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Oskari. There's only two corners at Monsa. Exactly. All on the current circuit. I would get this wrong. I am going to get this wrong. Now we won't. I forgot.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Paul. What they? Stavalo, Paul Freer, Campas and Camp, Broussel. Apologies if that's Miss Brussels. I generally don't know. It's Brugel, I think. Paul Freire, Stavelo, Brussels campus.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Brussels. I've got no idea. That's not the correct order. Sam, would you like to try and steal this? Bear in mind, there is literally nothing on the line. Yes, I will steal it. Okay I've forgotten
Starting point is 00:18:25 all of the corners apart from Stavlo Paul Freire Right Frere Roshay Russell Spruz University campus and then Savlo so okay what's my order I'm going to go for
Starting point is 00:18:38 Stavlo first Brussels Campus Paul Freire Please be right No I think you might have been closer than Harry but that's probably not
Starting point is 00:18:53 saying, I thought if Harry you got the last two, the other way around, you literally would have got it in the opposite order. Wow. Well done. Brussels is first, then campus, then Stamelo, then Paul Freer. And Sam did at least get Paul Freer in the right place.
Starting point is 00:19:10 I cannot, I'm having a mind black. I literally haven't pictured any of those corners now. Yeah, well, what are the corners? Where are they? I don't know, mate. You've, you've done the quiz. Yeah, I don't need to know any more than whether you're right or wrong.
Starting point is 00:19:23 I can't wait to you. I'll tell you what, I do know where they are. They're at spa. You're an idiot. Yeah, big idiot. I'm back going to be in the same room. Are we all dressed the same? Sorry, I've just realised you're also wearing a dark blue jumper.
Starting point is 00:19:34 The grey boys. We're so black. That's our personality. What colour trousers have you got on? Green. Can you go put some black ones on when it'll be the same? Yeah, hang on. Bear with me, folks.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Ben actually, you genuinely had to pause and look down. I did. I know what I'm wearing. Yeah. He's a green. Well, no, I knew what, okay, I knew what trousers I was wearing. I didn't know whether I should call them green or khaki. It's khaki for a stuff.
Starting point is 00:20:05 It's an important distinction. Where's he from? Oh, khaki and stabolo. I'm a lounge breakout things badly. What's doing? I'm here for. I read out Keke Rosberg's name earlier because I was watching up. Because obviously they've released the IndyCar McLaren line up.
Starting point is 00:20:20 And I, in my head, called him Kiki. And I had to tell myself, It's not what you say. It's going to be key. No. Kiki. Right, I'm proper done with this now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:33 It does go. This is flown by, in it? Before we let you go, we're going to play a quick game. So just to give you a reference on this series before, if you were to lose to Sam at this game, you wouldn't be the first guest to lose to Sam. So you don't have to worry about that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Jack Nichol. I am terrible. So, yeah. Can I give Karun Chandok a quick call, move just swap position? It's weirdly, we had Karun Chandok on the show quite a long time ago,
Starting point is 00:21:23 and we did a quiz of, like, his own F1 career. And I mean this with the greatest respect to Karin. He wasn't very good at it. He was brilliant at anything that wasn't his own career, but... I thought you meant he wasn't very good at his own career.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Oh, no, no. He was quite his own career. you go in there on that route then I'm really nervous no not at all so it's quick he's a good he's an avid listener
Starting point is 00:21:54 of the show as well he'll be all over this so of course love you, of course so late breaking becomes late faking
Starting point is 00:22:05 for this game is actually a pretty simple concept and not just to give you bit of warning. We have a jingle for this. I'm going to play it. This is actually the first time this jingle's made it onto the show. So, there is that honor. I'm on it.
Starting point is 00:22:20 It's a game of mystery, where one answer is wrong. So we gotta guess which one it's late-fake game. It's beautiful, isn't it? I love it. So, late-fating.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Here's the concept. So I will say a category. And there are four answers in that category. And what you have to do is find the fake. So Sam and Ant, you'll take it in turns. You'll pick a number between one and six. So you'll take it in turn to see if you can get yours right. So for example, if the category was drivers that have raced in Formula One,
Starting point is 00:22:56 and the answers were Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, Anthony Davidson, and Sam, you would say Sam is the fake because he hasn't raced an F1 quite yet. So that's how it won't be quite as easy as that I'm afraid. But that's the concept at least. I'll let Sam go first so he can well I was going to show how it's done but that's probably not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:23:23 So what number do you want between one and six, Sam? For once I'll start with number one please, Ben. Okay, number one. So I'm going to give you four manufacturers. I want you to name which one of them didn't race in the 50s, the 1950s. Oh, right, great. Good start for me.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Okay, this is your fine era, all right? You love the 50s. You've got Aston Martin, yeah, Porsche, yeah, Bugatti, and Mazda. Which one of those didn't race an F1 in the 50s? Three than did. A couple of bloody carballs in there, Benjamin.
Starting point is 00:24:04 mean? I'm just going to keep it quick, keep it snappy. I'm going to go, just because it feels wrong, that Mazda won in Formula One in the 50s. Maybe that should be your new technique for these game shows. Answer quickly and don't second guess yourself, because that is correct. The other three didn't race in the 50s.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Oh, hang on, are we racing each other here to answer the question? No, no, you'll take it in turn. I'm going to say, yeah, he's just solving my praise. I'm too slow again. I thought you were getting there before you harass me like you with Karun Chandok's career I'm so sorry Karin's going to hate me forever though A number between two and six
Starting point is 00:24:51 Sam Let's keep it simple, two Nice and simple Okay so of these four drivers Three of them have at least 30 podiums in their career One of them doesn't Which one is it? So you've got one Pablo Montoya,
Starting point is 00:25:10 one Manuel Fangio, Damon Hill, and John Watson. You said there's one driver that hasn't got 30 podium. Correct. I know Montoya didn't win a lot of races necessarily,
Starting point is 00:25:30 but he was on the podium a lot. I think that discounts him. They didn't do many races back in Fanjo's day. Actual races in the sea, but he won a lot. I'd be stupid to say him, wouldn't I, surely? Damon,
Starting point is 00:26:00 Damon definitely, I mean, yeah, he definitely had that. You know what? I'm going to say fanjo. It's an understandable logic, but it's not correct, I'm afraid. John Watson. John Watson,
Starting point is 00:26:14 yeah, okay. I thought it might be one of those questions that was like, a trick one, but actually, the interest is, know, how many podiums, did it have? 35, so it wasn't that much. Oh, that's like that.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Not such a good. Yeah, okay. Okay. Usually as well with these questions, I have no reservations about like sending Harry and Sam into mental torture. But when I've got a guest that I actually respects, I mean, that I actually feel bad now.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Ordinarily, it's fine. A number between, a number between three and six, Sam. Again, I'll keep it easy for you, Ben, this time. Well, number three. Okay. How much do you know about Pedro de la Rosa? Yeah, not much.
Starting point is 00:27:00 I'm not really a classicist on Pedro. No, interesting. I mean, you have four drivers. Three of them have raced against Pedro de la Rosa in F1. One of them never did. Which one is it? Sebastian Bordeaux. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Jean-Alaise. Okay. Lorraine Carthacan and Daniel Ricardo. Oh, that is quite tricky. I'm going to go John Alaisi. It's not correct. I love the fact that Pedro de la Rosa raced against Sean Alazy and Daniel Ricardo.
Starting point is 00:27:41 The correct answer was Bordeaux. That's what threw me off was the time gap. He's one of the very few drivers that's raced in three different decades, Pedro de La Rosa, because he just about covered off the early 2010s, but also the late 90s. One of those nerdy stats.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Which means it stays at 1-0. back to you and four five or six yeah four four okay there are four drivers here three of them raced under two different nationalities when they were in f one
Starting point is 00:28:16 but one only raced under one nationality so you need to pick out that one the four drivers Edgar Bath come on Helbert Barko Robert Duhenbos and Bertrand Gashow
Starting point is 00:28:35 Hang on, say them again I only heard three So Edgar Bath Very well known of course Helbert Marco Robert Duren boss And Bertrand Gashow Only one of them didn't race under
Starting point is 00:28:55 Under two national A different national Yeah, two downshack Hmm I'm from this You've not made them easy then I mean I don't even know I don't even, I don't recognize the name of the first driver.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Armato, I'm going to say here. Go Bertrand Gashow. The French Helmut Marco. They were my two. The two. So Edgar Bath. So Bertram Gassaudet on Gassaud, so Bertrand Gassaud,
Starting point is 00:29:48 under the French and Belgian nationalities in his career. Duenbos, Monaco and the Netherlands and Edgar Bath raced for both East Germany and West Germany but there's no shame of not knowing that because he didn't race he raced in the 1950s and 60s so I basically had to find another answer that was right
Starting point is 00:30:12 when I realised I wanted this as a question because I thought there'd be more than just So you went digging very deep I thought at Duenbos and Gashow straight away I'm like, oh, this would be a good question. And they realised there wasn't an obvious third one out there. So that's why Edgar Barf was there. I was expecting Grosian in there as well, but because he's Swiss French.
Starting point is 00:30:31 But he only ever raced under the French flag, didn't he? Yeah. Maybe he competed in like GP2 or F2 under the Swiss flag? I don't know. I can't remember. But yeah, I was expecting his name to be in there as well. Yeah, I think there were quite a few that fell in that category of raced under something different in F2. but yeah
Starting point is 00:30:52 right do you want to go for number five Sam yes please Ben I'll have number five good because I've wanted you
Starting point is 00:31:00 to have this question there are four constructors here apart from one of them doesn't exist which one is it so the four this is my killies here lang
Starting point is 00:31:10 yeah is it yeah so you've got life Theodore Wobblers and first
Starting point is 00:31:27 which one of those does it every time I'm like a TV character that doesn't know when I'm having my leg pulled and he makes something up every time and I fall for it every time
Starting point is 00:31:39 now life I know is in Formula One Theodore I'm pretty certain is it's the first or Wobblers and you know what I'd have to go for it because it's so stupid you know it's pretty wrong
Starting point is 00:31:48 Wobblers has got to be the answer I go for I was really hoping you were going to say something else, but it is woffless. Yeah, I've had you like it. This is a fix, I'm telling you. It is. It's 2021 all over again.
Starting point is 00:32:06 It's completely fixed. Which by a process of elimination leaves you with number six, um, four drivers here. Three of them scored over three of them scored over 50 points for Toro Rosso, which one didn't. Three of them scored over 50 points for Toro Rosso. So you've got Max Verstappen,
Starting point is 00:32:32 Jean-Eryk Vern, Daniel Ricardo, and Carlos Sines. Same again, sorry, Max Verstappen, Jean-Erik Verne, Daniel Ricardo and Carlos Sines. Hmm. That is a tough one. 50 points net total time
Starting point is 00:33:14 at Toro Rosso correct yeah it sounds like quite a lot for sounds like quite a lot for Vestappen because he wasn't there for very long
Starting point is 00:33:25 because he moved to Red Bull so soon I'm going to go through with Vestappan I think it's fair logic again but unfortunately he did score 60
Starting point is 00:33:37 oh signs was by exactly well it's 62 so it wasn't too much over but signs was by far the most on that list
Starting point is 00:33:48 the correct answer was Daniel Ricardo I think the tour also wasn't quite as good as it was in 15 but I failed miserably at this
Starting point is 00:34:00 I told you you did run it in the moment you do hold something over Sam though you've raised an F1 so you've got that to hold on to fair
Starting point is 00:34:10 fair I would have got his I mean, I'll happily trade my wobblers question for a driving anything against me and not a problem. Seems you one so comprehensively. Thanks. Now the problem is as part of this series of Friends of the podcast, the last thing that we ask is, are you now a friend of the podcast? What I've noted is that we should ask that question before the quiz rather than after it in case the guest loses. But can you now say you are a friend of the podcast.
Starting point is 00:34:45 I am a friend of the podcast. Oh, we've succeeded. I'm categorically, yeah. It's inspired me to go and swat up on my nerdy F1 knowledge. We'll take it.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Thank you. The brakes. Here we go. Blimey. Lack-Lat-W at the end there. Live Lafletifie after dark. Here we go. Pump the brakes.
Starting point is 00:35:41 So this is where the three of us will give one opinion each. There might be a little bit controversial. And the other two have to decide whether, you know what, that's a good opinion. You can have that. Or whether they should pump the brakes. Now, if both other people decide that they should pump the brakes, that's where Dave Benson Phillips' children's TV legend gets involved and goes ahead with, I hope Harry's got
Starting point is 00:36:07 this prepared, this noise. I haven't got the... That's so loud. Oh, he hasn't got it even on the board. Oh, I haven't got it. And we're not even on the right recording software. That's the worst 30 seconds of this podcast ever. To Dave Benson Phillips, or in this instance, Sam, we'll gunge the person.
Starting point is 00:36:40 And we tend to give Dave Benson Phillips 50p for every gunging that he does. But since it's Sam doing it this time, Dave Benson Phillips is going to have no money. He's on a date. Yeah, I'm sorry, Dave. Right. Oh dear. Pump the brakes. Harry, as a reward for unbelievably preparing one, you can go first.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Thanks. Okay. I will preface this by saying this has nothing to do with the result. of what happened. But my bone on the brakes is the 2021 championship is the greatest season ever in Formula One. Can I guess,
Starting point is 00:37:22 oh, I'm... Please don't kill me, everyone. I'm not annoyed, but mine definitely wasn't about to be about the 2021 Grand Prix season wherever it's called. You're welcome. I think of another one.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Do you want... Shall I elaborate or you just... No, if you'd like to give a little bit of explanation, sure. Yeah, go on. Look, I don't want to say Abu Dhabi aside. The actual decision that happened, you know, we've talked about this before. I can feel people coming after me.
Starting point is 00:37:52 But I don't think you could have had a better, more gripping storyline. I don't think there's probably only three bad races I can name from 2021. If that. And I think what's happening in F1, 2022 and 2023 so far, we're not having awful races, but 2021 was banger after banger that it's really not helped. It's not helped everything else afterwards. I just don't think we've had,
Starting point is 00:38:29 or maybe we'll never have another season as good, as gripping. politics allegiances aside on this one completely but I think that's my case hold on
Starting point is 00:38:43 so you just see something at the window there is that pitch forks and torches coming down the road I'll go first we just won Homer
Starting point is 00:38:53 that's you oh no I'll go first so I actually politics included, completely agree with you. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:39:07 And I think because of the controversy at the end of the season, from an entertainment point of view and a historic point of view, will go down as the most entertaining, most discussed, most thought about season in Formula One for decades. And I think maybe we get a season like that
Starting point is 00:39:24 at most once a decade. And I think 2020, 2012 was maybe that one of the last decade before that. Obviously, we've had the Sanger-enpros rivalry, the league since Suzuki was probably up there with that controversy. And it was a great season. But yeah, I think you're probably right. I think it is the perfect season.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Perfect storm. I think it's the best thing to happen to F1 ever. I agree. I'm not saying that from my point of it. I think four F1's pointing to you, best things ever happened to it. But equally, the worst thing, because now everything will not live up to that. True. Yeah, I think it's a fair, it's a fair opinion. I think I would probably agree with it as well. Certainly 2012 that Sam's already raised comes close. But yeah, I think probably 2021, even like three races before the end of that season, it was already probably a contender.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Because you're right, nearly every single race that year was a banger. I will say this, 2012 and 2021 both had. great championship and great races. For me, 2020, races-wise, was just as good as those two. The only thing it didn't have was the championship battle. But in terms of the actual racing, I think 2020 was, I know Harry doesn't remember that if you existed,
Starting point is 00:40:49 but I think in terms of the racing, though, is actually on a part of those two. 2020 was a really good season. It's just it was dang and dusking at the front. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good point, actually. Oh, man, we don't get to do the noise.
Starting point is 00:41:02 No, my one that you stole was that 2021 was the perfect season. The perfect season, there you go. Because the only thing I think that rivals it from 2012 is that we have the seven different race winners at the start, which I think was really cool. I really like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:19 My pump the brakes is on a similar trajectory to Harry, but almost going like the opposite direction. So I'm going to pick a season. I am saying that the 2009, F1 season was the worst we've had this century. Are you having a laugh? What? 2009?
Starting point is 00:41:43 Yeah. Awful year. That one? Yeah. The Jensen Button year. Terrible year. Braun year. Is he baiting me?
Starting point is 00:41:51 I think so. Name a good race from 2009. Australia. That's quite a good race. All right. Yeah. That one was right. All right.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Good. That's done. What? I mean, there's one good race, okay. I can't wait to do that one. I'll go first. I see your point, Ben, because buttoned run won six of the first, or something like that, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:42:19 And then it was kind of Red Bull just playing catch-up. So in terms of like a competitive championship, it wasn't one of those ones that went down to the wire like a 2021. It was because they didn't, the brawn that turned up in Australia, was basically the same thing that's turned up in Abu Dhab at the end of the year. So they were, everyone else was playing catch up to it and they did nothing. So I agree in that sense. But is it really worse than a, than a 2002 when, I mean, not for me, obviously,
Starting point is 00:42:53 but for like a Schumacher wrapping the title up by the French GP? I don't, I got to give a verdict, mate. I'm going to say no. I see your point. It's probably remembered more funnily than it should be, potentially. But I'm still, I don't know. I think that's fair. For me, if you were to sit down a Hollywood writer and go,
Starting point is 00:43:19 don't watch Formula One, but you know the concept. What is Formula One to you? What would be the perfect story? And they were right, new team comes together, haven't got a massive budget. It's a first, you know, we're going to crack off and see how we go with it. and then... That's a weird.
Starting point is 00:43:34 ...experation. Where that came from? Sometimes I start speaking, and I hope that I find the end of a sentence along the way. Anyway, and then, you know, this new scene turns up, and they just start winging, and then you get this, the bad guys, you know, Red Bull catching up,
Starting point is 00:43:52 and it does come down to the wire a bit at the end of it. Now, I know that it doesn't mean that if you were to break it down race by race individually, you're right, Ben. It was not the most thrilling of races to happen. but it will be one of those seasons and it was at the time one of those season that was spoken about constantly because of this, wait,
Starting point is 00:44:10 braung are good and they're here out of nowhere every race it was Can Broad do it again? Can broad do it again? And then they stopped being able to do it again And then it was can they hold on? And everyone wanted them to hold on. Everyone was like, this is a fairy tale.
Starting point is 00:44:24 It's like, I know this is maybe a bit British but when Leicester won the Premier League It was like, oh my God, Lester would win the Premier League but can they hold on from these giants, these behemoths of sport coming towards them? So I agree with you, Ben, that it maybe is, maybe slightly overrated.
Starting point is 00:44:40 If we're playing overrated, underrated, I think you'd be correct. But we're not, we're playing punt the brakes, and it is not the worst season in the century. So I'm going to say pump the brakes. A war-wanging awful. I tell you a point of more, I love the story of Braun in 09.
Starting point is 00:45:11 It's just I was thinking about it the other day and just thinking like, were there any good races in 2009? Australia. The thing is, the only reason Australia was any good was because Barakello was a bowling ball. He should hit everyone. And then also,
Starting point is 00:45:30 if Barakello knew how to drive, would be another boring one too. Better than Kibica. I forgot how to drive on the last lap or something. Yeah. Oh, that was interesting. Yeah. All right. Oh, it's my go now.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Thought one. I have thought of one. You're going to love it. Oh, no. We should bring back Nyongyang. Yes. Honestly, not as bad as you think it is.
Starting point is 00:45:54 I think with the new regulations, it'll be a good grand prix. Give it another go. Definitely not still there. But we can rebuild it. It was a building site anyway. What I'm saying is to put it into categorical
Starting point is 00:46:07 way to pump the brakes. The track isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be and that I think with new regulations it would produce good racing. We have got countless amazing circuits on the precipice of F1, the Nuremberg ring. Hock and Ime. We've got Kailami. We've got brilliant circuits all around the world, Snetterton,
Starting point is 00:46:33 desperate to get on the F1 calendar. Alton Park, sorry, Alton Towers. Thank you. and you're advocating that one of those coveted spots is taken by young bloody am. I think to say it should be the first in line.
Starting point is 00:46:51 I'm just saying that it wasn't as bad as you think it is and that with the new regulations, it would produce good racing. I'm not saying that it should be in Frank Hennberg or Hockingheim or something. I'm just saying that with the new regs, we have a good time there and it wasn't as bad as you remember it being.
Starting point is 00:47:05 I feel like any circuit that's not on the calendar that was on the calendar at that time would be a better race now thanks to New Regs. I think Valencia might be a blast. Don't be silly, Ben. Valencia could be actually quite fun. It's literally a derelict hole.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Nah. I just want to do the noise again, so I'm quite happy if you both said it. I don't... I don't... Nah. All right, mate. I don't...
Starting point is 00:47:33 Nah. It's a nah from me. It's a nah from me. You know what I thought about it. Nah. Probably not. You know what I've realized? We don't play from the brakes that often.
Starting point is 00:48:02 There are going to be so many people that don't actually know what the sound we're referring to is. Oh. Think of the gungge, like, alarm sound effect from a game show. That's even worse. Please stop. I'm never got to make something who fart noise into a mic in my life. Oh my God
Starting point is 00:48:21 Okay, here we go F1 higher and lower Wish me like because I haven't got the notes to say which sound This could be Any anything I've an educated guess but here we go Over rate That's a wrong one, smash it
Starting point is 00:48:37 Where there is... Nope, no Oh no It's two for two My cup on Nope Nope No No
Starting point is 00:48:47 No Please gave an educated guest for this and he's going to get wrong. A nine times. Where is it? Remember? No, that was a different jingling timing. No.
Starting point is 00:48:59 No. No. Oh, this is disastrous. Friggins nightmare. That's not that one. This is really funny. Where is it? For once, it's not you being sent for an absolute family meal. Please hold.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Oh, this is awful. I'm enjoying this. I make sleep. It's got to be one of them. Where is it? I think you've gone past it. No. No.
Starting point is 00:49:30 This is, it's definitely there somewhere. Folks, someone clip this absolute meltdown that Harry's having. I'm actually going to cry. Nope. No. Remember when, no. Where is it? That's not possible.
Starting point is 00:49:49 I don't understand. Go to the first screen. Surely you've tried every button at this point. might have to cut out at this point. No. No. It's really funny, though. Whether it's...
Starting point is 00:49:58 This is quite literally what Ferrari's season looks like when they're trying to work out strategy cues. Oh, it is? It was on the first freaking babe. Good job. F1 higher. It's sad faster. F1 higher.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Oh, God, it's most anticipated game of F1 horror of all time. Can I just point out? It was my educated guess was one off. Because it was on page one, sound eight, and I went for page one sound seven. Ah, well. And then we went through every other sound. Why didn't you just go to the nearest buttons?
Starting point is 00:50:38 I panicked. The record was to show that you mucked that up 4,000 times. Okay, well, here's the first ever game of F1. Order, please, like faking back and forth, no, great, ungrade. Order! Higher or lower, so I've got six questions in front of me. Harry and Sam will take it in turns.
Starting point is 00:50:53 There's a numeric answer to each question. If they get it spot on, they get two points. If they don't get it spot on, it goes to the other person to guess whether it was higher or lower than the original guest. If they get that right, they get a point. But if they get it wrong, the original guesser gets the point.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Harry, what number would you like? I can educate a guest point? Who knows? Can I give six, please? Yes, you can. Great news. How many races did David Kulthard do? Of course.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Before he won his first Grand Prix. I thought you were so title. Yeah, still going. Asterix. Um... He did. 12. He did not do 12.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Higher or lower than that. I hate to say it, but I think it's higher. You might hate to say it, but you are right. It is higher than 12. 20. Really? I thought his first one was in 95, yeah? End of 95.
Starting point is 00:51:54 End of 95, I think. Portugal. You just didn't do many races because, yeah, well, I'm not denying. It just, that's interesting. I hope my counting was right last night. Oh, I was that. I don't.
Starting point is 00:52:05 One points for some. Yes. Sam is one-nil up, maybe. What number would you like? I'll have one. Number one. How many race starts has Nico Holcomburg had? Oh, Nico Alkenberg is a lot.
Starting point is 00:52:20 A bit a couple of years out. So I'm going to go, 198. No. Oh, it's not 199, is it? Maybe. Why do I keep doing this? It's his 200 race start this weekend.
Starting point is 00:52:39 My God. 1-99. As if. As if. Right. That's one all. Oh, God. That's happened two games in a row.
Starting point is 00:52:48 That's a painful one that. I did that with Bottas as well, didn't I? Yes. Back to you, Harry. Four? How many podiums is Charlotte Clare had? Not enough. Many.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Not as many as he had an hour after. Oh, no, he didn't get the podium anyway. Never mind. How many six places? He, um. he's at 43. He has not had 43.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Lower. 27. Say, where are you going on that? Bigged him well, I'm sorry, Shal. You were just playing the game in three years' time. Yeah. Three years?
Starting point is 00:53:30 Savage. Playing the game in a decade's time. Right, but you sound at 2-1? Number 5, please, Ben. Number 5. Number 5. Oh, you're not going to like this one. Oh, sorry, it's a 50-50.
Starting point is 00:53:43 counts. How many points has Vastappan had this year and last year combined? Oh my God. 894. It's not 894. Lower. It's not lower.
Starting point is 00:54:07 It's a very good guess, actually. 920. Oh, I'm not far off there again. Why me? Sorry. This season isn't over yet, and he has 920 points across two. Man could hit a thousand points in two seasons.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Could. That's stupid. It's horrible. That's stupid. That's stupid. I hate it. Is that 3-1? It's 3-1. Oh, good luck. What I've won?
Starting point is 00:54:29 Well, I've drawn at least. Yeah, let's see what happens. The last two. It's him. It's you in it, yeah. Whatever would you like? What's left? Or number three?
Starting point is 00:54:44 Pick number three, me lord. Number three, me lord. Two, please. Denied. Denied. How many Mexican grown? pre have they been? There have been
Starting point is 00:54:55 10. There have not. I'm going to go higher. It is higher. We raced here before we came up. I know. I don't remember there being that many. 23. That is close to 10.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Relatively. They're both two digits. Both numbers. Oh no. Which just leaves. What's that phrase, Ben? Three. I'll have number three, me Lord.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Just a side note, you'd have already listened to it, but we did episode 333. I can't. We absolutely missed it. It's the most late-breaking thing in the world. I'm just going to go back and delete one. Now we're 3-3-3-3. For anyone looking for the US GP review from 2018, my bad.
Starting point is 00:55:37 You're not missing much. I flipped. Right. Number three. The hottest Grand Prix of all time was the 2005 Bahrain Grand Prix. How hot was it? But we're in the US. you can only give your answer
Starting point is 00:55:52 in Fahrenheit. That doesn't exist. That's got a real thing. Okay. In Fahrenheit, okay. All right. I'm going to go, 114 degrees Fahrenheit.
Starting point is 00:56:03 No. Higher. No, it's lower than Matt. It's a good guess again. 108.5 degrees. That doesn't make any sense, does it? 7.5 of a degree. What is that in normal?
Starting point is 00:56:15 I think it was 40. Yeah, 41.5 or something like that. What would you have done if I guess a hundred and eight Would you have given me the two points? I'd have given you if you said 108 or 109 I'd have given him all right If I won that one. Yeah, I've been smashed that.
Starting point is 00:56:30 Roasted. Like Bahrain. We've roasted. Boone. Five one. That's my biggest win of all time. That could well be. We just need to stay here so you keep winning.
Starting point is 00:56:38 I am American now. Anyway, that's it for all the main topics. We're now going to move on to our game. It's very exciting. This is real or no real. Harry, you're going to play that theme song? Play that theme that's original. Not stolen.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Oh, God, I've missed. Welcome to your host. Sam C. Wee! Noel Edmund. Noel Edmund. No, Edmund. We haven't got a silly shirt on.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Do we need to swap seats now? Oh, yeah. We do. We're swapping seats, everyone. No, not only is it a new game. Sam's going to do the soundboard. Which I've ever, ever done. Please hold.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Listen, we should have put some music on for this bit. Oh, Lyft music. Kerski, I'm getting some lift music. Do do do do do. Oh, God. I bet this sounds good on audio. That's quite a bit warm. How big's your head?
Starting point is 00:58:08 What do you hell? Look at the cat. Your headphones are massive. I have had to extend yours a little bit. A little bit? A little bit? You only snapped off. Right. Anyway, folks, this is real or no real,
Starting point is 00:58:22 where I am going to give Harry six scenarios that have happened in the World of Formula One, both historic and modern. Do you want to explain the... concept of deal or no deal. It's irrelevant, really. I haven't got a box, have I? Okay, Gary, I'll get to the banker in a minute.
Starting point is 00:58:35 So there's going to be six scenarios where Harry will have to say real or no real, and after each one, once he's giving his answer, we will call the banker, or the banker will call us and provide the correct answer. He won't say something else, who knows? This is not a rip-off of Ben's game, true or false, either. It's definitely not similar to the classic game,
Starting point is 00:58:52 true or false. So, you've got one to six, as is the normal routine. What would you like? Number one, please. Also, have you got a pen? Oh, there it is. Sorry, have you chew the end of that?
Starting point is 00:59:08 No, it's not chewed. Right. Number one, yeah? Yes. Okay. When Keke Rosberg won his title. Yep.
Starting point is 00:59:17 Yep. He celebrated in a bit of a weird way. He bathed in reindeer milk and smoked a cigar. Is this real or no real? You can put the tension music on. It's question one, round one. Could you get off to a good site here?
Starting point is 00:59:41 Well, Sam, I'm going to get with no real. No real. That's an interesting answer that you've gone for. He's present both twice. That's the banker calling, folks. Let's pick up and see what he's got to say. Very interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:02 Okay. is asked me to tell you and you're a little B-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-old. He's also said, what's going on? The Tenging's building. I feel sick.
Starting point is 01:00:26 It's correct! We! I can't get to the round of applause. It's going to take too long, but... Nice one, mate. One point. That was a lot for one question. The Tention's going to keep building.
Starting point is 01:00:37 I got a bit carried away on the soundboard there. I'm not going to lie. I think we should keep this on, though. Just in the background. Just build a lot of tension. It's great. Okay, love it. We should do this more often.
Starting point is 01:00:47 Okay. You've got number two, three, four, five and six. What would you like? Number two, please. This is scary stuff. There's absolutely nothing on the line, apart from your pride. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:57 Number two. Noreen Carter came. What's the young as what, please, Harry? Cucumber. Correct. That's got the question. Oh, real. Finished in 24th place in Valencia.
Starting point is 01:01:07 making him the only driver to ever finish in that position. Real or no real? I think that is real. Attention off for the banker. Well, the phone's ringing. I don't want that overwork for the listener's ears. Okay, yeah. Thank you for calling banker.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Interesting. For attention back on. I'm still talking to him, please. Can you interrupt the banker? It's much more important than you are. Intense. Good. He's giving you an ultimatum.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Oh, no. Would you like to change? your answer. Uh, no. Oh, he's decided to stick with his current option of real. It's correct. Yay!
Starting point is 01:02:02 He's the only driver to ever finish a race in 24th place. Well, then, Lorraine. Impressive stuff, eh? That is impressive. Good. This is a great game. Are you enjoying it? I have, man, we should have got some celebration music.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Yeah, we should have done. I feel a bit silly about that now. Put a rave remix on. I will do it at the end. That's how we go outro. All right, okay. Good. You've sport, sport that now.
Starting point is 01:02:21 Sorry, folks. Good. Right. Anyway, that's the tension. 3, 4, 5 or 6, please. Uh, number 4, please. Number 4. I've got to jump over it.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Oh, sorry, it's all right, mate. When Alonso was at McLaren, reserve driver, Lando Norris, made him a cup of tea in the garage. Norris then decided to stir that cup of tea with an electric drill. Real? Or no real.

Starting point is 01:03:56 Number five, oh, okay. This is a great one. Her voice is cracking with attention. So nervous. Scary, isn't it? Yeah. When Max Verstappel won his first race, he got a bit drunk.
Starting point is 01:04:06 And on the plane leaving, Daniel Ricardo, of course, his team, threw 53 grapes into Max's path across the journey of the plane. Max managed to catch them all. Real or no real? Got 53 grapes? In a row.

Starting point is 01:05:45 We were roommates. No, you won't. After trying a pub lunch, he ate fish chips and mushy peas. And after this, he told his trainer, he eats a really big poo. Oh. Real? Oh, no real. Now, I remember this from Drive to Survive,
Starting point is 01:06:01 but I don't remember if... Oh, it's changed it up. I don't remember it if he actually says that after the mushy peas or that he hates the mushy peas. It's really tempting it. Folks, this pulsar jingle is about a minute and a half long, and I'm really tempted to just let it run. Make it out, mate.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Meg's waiting to stop us. Look how far we can fly. No idea how far. I can climb. I can fly. I am worried about this. Oh, the banker's calling early. Why is he calling me?

Starting point is 01:07:57 Oh I thought he hates them He gives it a thumbs up It's anything you like Samuel Kings. She needs. I should relate to that. You got one final question.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Which one would you like? Pick number three, my lord. Oh, I see, number three, please. It's a great choice. In 1997, the McLaren was launched by the Spice Girls. I'm sure you remember it well. I was won, yeah?
Starting point is 01:08:20 Yeah. Because of this huge factor that happened at the start of their season, David Coulthard decided to wear Union Jack Bucky Smugglers every race for the rest of the season for luck. Is this real or no real for a full house?
Starting point is 01:08:36 Oh man. Does sound like a... Does sound like a David Kulthar thing to do. It's a bit of a joker. As Ben Goulda say, big of a joker. What a joker. Got him.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Got him. This is really tough. This could be six out of six and the first you ever reel on no real. I think budgie smugglers. Like proper... Like, by the poor budgie smugglers. Classic.

Starting point is 01:10:22 For six out of six, a full house, Harry Ead. You're correct! That's the wrong one. What's the celebration music? On the left. No, that one. Brave time.
Starting point is 01:10:41 That has been Real on at Real with me, Sam's age. And on the very first contestant, how are you? On the very last one. Yeah, never did that again. Get that off. What like a crap that was.
Starting point is 01:10:52 I think that was a roaring success. Kirsty, what do you think? Nod. Give us a thumbs up. She loves it. She's loved it. She loved it. Absolutely loved it.
Starting point is 01:11:01 The first listener. Wow. Maybe the only listening if she gets it all out. Don't edit it out. That was podcast gold. gold's kind it was podcast
Starting point is 01:11:11 podcast bronze you ready we are ready for F1 back and forth F1 back and forth it's F1 back and forth
Starting point is 01:11:31 it goes backwards then goes forth it's F1 back and forth F1 I heard they're playing that class to this weekend I've been called up
Starting point is 01:11:44 Sam just turns up with his phone and plugs it into the system. It's the orcs. Out of time of this, guys. F1. Left side. Back. Yeah. When I say F1, you say backwards.
Starting point is 01:12:02 Okay, F1 back and forth. Really simple concept, if you haven't heard one of these before. I'm sure many of you would have. But F1 back and forth, Harry versus Sam. They'll take it in turns to give answers to a question. There are a certain number today, correct answers to a question. They'll keep going until they can't think of one
Starting point is 01:12:18 or they get it wrong. Oh, they get it wrong. I'm going to get it wrong. I always get it wrong. Oh. Can't wait for Glasgow. Do you want to find out what are you going to get wrong this week? Yeah, what's the topic?
Starting point is 01:12:35 The topic today is anyone who's won a Formula One Grand Prix from the Americas. So all the way from Canada, down to the tip of Chile. Tip of Chile. Okay. Just to clarify, North America,
Starting point is 01:12:54 South America, both okay. Central. Great. Sam, do you want to go first? Yeah, I'll put him out with misery. Jacques Villeneuve. Thank God for that. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:13:06 We've started with Jack Villeneuve. 11 race wins that Harry remembers incredibly fond of me. Every single one. Harry Jill Villeneuve I'm massively shocked of course
Starting point is 01:13:20 Jill Villeneuve wasn't bad not quite as good as Jacques five fewer race wins that's why he's trying to bait people there That's why Charles Ran a Jacques Vonaver Helmner this weekend obviously
Starting point is 01:13:32 let's move on Sam Don't cry for me Rubens Barichello What He's not from Argentina. He cries all the time. He's also from South America.
Starting point is 01:13:46 It's as close as I can get. I'm aware of it's not. There are Argentinian drivers on this list. Yeah, but it doesn't work because he cries. Fair enough. Rubens Barakello. 11 race wins as well. Same as Schauchfield.
Starting point is 01:13:59 Can we go? I don't know how high I can fly. Mario Andretti. Mario Andretti absolutely put everyone else in his dust that's already been on this list. He's got 12. Speaking of dust.
Starting point is 01:14:16 which high in fat, loving fat, dust. It's a little Britain reference. I'm going to go with Fangio. It was pretty good actually. It was all right. Point on the board for Marjorie Dawes there. That's really good. 24 race wins for one man well fanjo.
Starting point is 01:14:37 Harry. That racist man. I'm going to assume you mean Nelson Pekey. Oh, yeah, that's him. In which case you're right, he had 23 race wins. Sam. Sergio Perez. Sergio Perez is on the list with six.
Starting point is 01:15:00 All right. Go rogue. Oh, I've got a good rogue one. Eretton Senner. Oh, that is rogue. Yeah, so Eert and Senna, funnily enough, won 41 Gronbury and is the top of this list. That's the same as Macphus Apham.
Starting point is 01:15:17 It is. Very safe. similar drivers, but I can't wait until Vastappen wins number 42, and he's therefore better than Air and Sennel. Immediately in number two of the greatest four-time list. Hey, O'Hanagallipe, baby. Yep. He won the same number of races
Starting point is 01:15:34 as Barrichella. I don't remember on the list. He won the same number of races as Air and Senna if he'd won 30 more. That is great, banter. It really is. It really is. all you're rung out of names. Oh, God, me too.
Starting point is 01:15:57 Graham's long-lost brother, Phil. Phil Hill is a correct answer. He won just three races. And, of course, was a world champion. He might well have the fewest race wins of a world champion, but I'm not 100% on that. I just got Big Zonks his name in my head,
Starting point is 01:16:14 and I can't get it out. I would probably get his name. I know. That's a problem. I know. It's not good enough. The thing is, I've got names in my head. I just don't actually know if they're South American or not. And I know that they'd be South American.
Starting point is 01:16:33 It's just whether they're South American or they are from a European country that once declared warring areas of South America. Okay. You see one point? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So I'm going to put myself out of this competition now. Are there any really, really obvious ones left?
Starting point is 01:16:48 There must be, obviously. I would say there are a couple that you would expect to get, I think. I don't like that he says expense. That's annoying. Yeah, that isn't going. Don't expect anything from us. No, I'm a moron. Carlos Reuteman.
Starting point is 01:17:06 Carlos Reuteman is a correct answer. Yes. Can work out how is Italian a lot. Race wins. Harry, pressure's back on you. I don't think I've got it left here. Is there another Andretti? Sadly not.
Starting point is 01:17:26 Race winners, mate. Oh, yeah, just race winners. Sorry to the other Andretti's. We're on taking cart race winners, I'm afraid. Oh, that's Scottsby. Scott Speed, yeah, no. Okay. I'm trying to think.
Starting point is 01:17:40 Oh, dear. There's a siren. It's Michael Andretti coming after you. Give me about my race wing. Oh, man. What countries are left, Ben? Oh, come on. I won't answer that unless Sam gives his blessing.
Starting point is 01:17:59 It's fine. You could give it, I'll give you the blessing. Wait, it's my turn. Right, sure. That actually won't help me either. I will be quite vague on this. A lot of them. There is a Mexico driver that Sergio Perez beat the next door who's going to
Starting point is 01:18:16 I can't remember. Exactly. I don't, I can't really can't remember. He's going, is it something Rodrigger. Rodriguez. Redigua. That was like me saying Jabui. It was almost as bad.
Starting point is 01:18:31 Rydiger. Because that's what the tracks named after, and I know there were some brothers. Amanus Rodriguez. Yes. Is he just called Hermannus Rodriguez? That means brother. He's not called Brother Rodriguez. Is he called Joe Rodriguez?
Starting point is 01:18:46 Brother. Can I have Rodriguez? No. I don't think you can because there's multiple of them, and only one of them's a right answer. Oh. Go with a traditional Spanish first name. Bob. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:02 Bob Rodriguez. Bob Grez, they call him. There you go. I think Brother Rodriguez might have been a better guess. Unfortunately, he wasn't called Bob Rodriguez. Do you have any other names
Starting point is 01:19:13 left? I don't think he is, but is Heinz Harold Frankson? How can I lose to you? I thought not. Good. I'm going to ask, you know what I said I had to?
Starting point is 01:19:27 That was the other one. Yeha! Woo! The German Harts Harold Fredson. I love being a wing up, baby. J.J.F. I love that. Heavily, heavily foreign.
Starting point is 01:19:45 What was the name that I couldn't get? Pedro. Pedro. Very close to Bob, actually. His brother, Ricardo, also briefly raised in F1. Also very close to Bob. Yeah. The other names that you didn't get,
Starting point is 01:20:00 there will be one or two. Danny Holm. Danny Holm. No, New Zealand. One song of the Atlantic Pacific, other Russian. So a couple of, Richie Ginther, that was a tough one. Parche, who the Interligal circuit is named after. I'm part of the moment.
Starting point is 01:20:18 Peter Revson, Pastor Maldonado. Oh, yeah, sure you got that one. Oh, Mr Chunky! Mr Chunky! One Pablo Montoya. I'm actually going on us for that one. L. L. Gonzalez, who was Argentinian, Dan Gurney. And Emerson Fitzapaldi.
Starting point is 01:20:35 Oh, no. Oh, no. You got M.O. Yeah. Sorry, Emo. That's embarrassing. He's not coming up to show. Despite the fact that Hines-Herald Fresen was nearly given as an answer.
Starting point is 01:20:46 It was giving us an answer. That won, though. I'm taking that. Hays Harold first place for this guy. It's part of the Sports Social Podcast Network.
