This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network. Thank you for listening to the Late Breaking F1 podcast. Make sure to tune in for new episodes every Wednesday and Grand Prix Sunday. Hello and a very warm welcome to the late breaking F1 podcast presented by Harry Ead, Sam Sage and me, Ben Hocking. Hope you're having a wonderful Christmas, wonderful festive period, new year coming up. We thought we'd give you one last episode for the year. It's not, full disclosure, it's not a new, new episode. But we thought we'd compile some of our favourite games from throughout the year.

We've played quite a few of them, haven't we? We have. You know, like, TV shows where you sit down on boxing day, and you're a bit hungover and you're a bit full, and you really can't be bothered to do anything. And you're like, what's on the telly? You're like, A out of 10 Cats rerung. But it's that funny one that I saw a little,

while ago is very much like this. Basically, you're going to hear a lot of the questions you've already heard, a lot of the mistakes that I've already made and a lot of Harry beating me without paying any attention to what's going on. But you're going to love it as much the second time, I promise. It's what's what Christmas is made for. This is, this is going out, I mean, spoiler alert, we pre-recorded this link, but this is going out in between Christmas and the new year, right? The dead air time of the festive break. Reruns, that's what it's all about. You just sort of veg out after eating too much food. It's covered outside.

You just watch some rerun on the TV. Instead, listen to a rerun of us. I don't know why I'm trying to convince you to listen because you literally are here already. Yeah. This isn't an advert for the podcast. They're here. They might think actually,

I don't fancy at this point. So we still need to sell ourselves, I think. Got a hook. Got to hook them. All right. Let us know how many questions you get right across the entire podcast, despite hearing all of the answers before, if you've listened to every episode this year.

And if you have, thank you. You're lovely. Have a lovely new year. And you know what? We'll get a catch on the flippity flip. We'll see you in 2022. Yeah, we've got four games coming up for you over the next hour or so. I think they cover the year pretty well.

I know one of them at least was from like early January. So I think it should cover quite a few months of the year. We've got an F1 back and forth for you. We've got late faking, an order please, and a higher or late. lower in there as well in some sort of order that I don't really know at this point because Harry hasn't edited it yet but it will be like a selection box of games isn't it it'll be in the orders or Ben Patrick the Mupportemoration heroes what I don't know but yes and I can't remember what order I packaged them up in so um enjoy nothing that is genuinely true you

enjoy whatever's first and enjoy whatever's second third and fourth as well. We'll leave you here and you won't fortunately hear from Live Us again for the rest of the episode but do enjoy all the games that come up and we hope you have an enjoyable rest of the festive season. See you in 2023. Bye. Boy. Bye. Late faking. Do we actually have a, do we have a jingle for this? No. Do you want to sing? The good thing we do. We don't yet. We don't yet, folks. We have a look through the soundboard, folks. Let's see what we got here. Maybe we should do a songwriting competition.

Let's see what we're fill in the blank, F1 Alphabet, Brexit Beefs, Monza, bold prediction. Great. Can we just do a Brexit beef? One time. I'm at work. All right. We've got a.

No jingle, folks, but we've still got a game. It is late faking where Harry and Sam will go up against each other, six different questions. So there are four things within a category. I'll let them know what the category is, plus the four options. But one of them's a fake. One of them does not belong in the category that I say. It is up to these guys to identify which one that is. I'm not on the right page on my notebook, hang on.

Oh, come on. too busy playing against himself again nice one beg there we go leg faking all inges got a dictionary of games all right

Harry you can go first on this one number one through to number six maybe I don't want to maybe I don't want you maybe I don't want I don't really care what you want apart from one

please number one okay I'm going to give you four drivers Yeah. Three of them have won a Formula One race after turning 40 years old.

One of them hasn't. Can you tell me who that is? Warwick Warwick. He's not an option. Everyone knows Warwick Warwick won a race at the age of 72 anyway. All right. Nicky Lauder. Jack Brabham.

Graham Hill. Gil. and Fangio, one man will Fangio. One of those drivers did not win a race after turning 40 years old. Who is it?

Nicky Lauder? You should be more confident. You are right. That's the easiest question that begs ever given on one of these quizzes. That answers my next question of would you've got that one, Sam?

So yeah, you'd have gotten louder as well. Yeah, I actually would have got that. Nicky, Nicky Lauder. Fanzio and one. at 46 years old. Jack Brabham won his last race at 43. Graham Hill won a race at 40. Nicky Lauder, his last win came at the age of 36.

Watch. Yeah. All right. What number would you like next, Sam? Number six, please. Number six. So I'm going to give you four countries. Sebastian Vettl has won a race in three of these countries.

All right. Oh, right. Can you tell me the one where he hasn't got a race win? Yeah. Spain. Right. Hungary. Yeah.

China. And Austria. He's never won at Austria. He has never won at Austria. Well done. Give me 25. 25, 25, 25. I get him right. Dang, yeah. Clearly that's the trick.

Spain, he won once in 2011, Hungary twice, 2015 and 2019. China, he won once in 2009. His first race win for Red Bull, and never won there again, weirdly. But Austria, of course, came about when Nessani started to be very good.

So that's why he's not one there. Come on. Not going home with nothing. Well done. Harry, back to you. 23, four or five. number two please numbers I forgot I wrote this question oh no oh no

okay I'm gonna give you I'm gonna give you four drivers but only one of them actually exists can you tell me which one of this he's written this for me he's written this question for me hoping that I think it won't worry the answer's work

worried come on right which is gone Sam will be an idiot you're right he'll do this one okay you're gonna get through with that smile any, Ben, might be one of these is real.

Saint Sinsmore. That's a made-up game. Earl Hensmore. Yeah, also made up. Oh, man. Duke Dinsmore. One more, I can do it. Ben Bing Bingsmore, more like, not far off.

Baron Binsmore. One of those has raced in Formula One. The Saints, Mourthorne, Smoor, Duke Dinsmore, and Barrett's Ports. Okay, which one's real? I'll go for the Earl one. Earl Endsmoor. Yes. It's not right.

Good old Dick Dinsmore. He raced in an indie 500, I think, in the 50s, but yeah. Oh, man. Sort of the F1 question. God, Barry Bingsmore is my favourite. Well, yeah. Is it Baron? Barron.

That's what I was going for. Duke. Barry. Duke Earl and Baron and St. Yeah. Oh, man. Barry Binsworth. It should be called Barry.

When the, yeah. When the Indy 500 was part of the, the F1 championship in the 50s. Oh, Bazzar Bingsmore. Oh, that was tough.

That's stupid. End the game. Let's go home. It's still won all. Sam, what number do you want? I'll have five, please. Okay, number five. So three of these drivers has had 100 points, at least 100 points, in at least one season.

So they've had 100 points in a season. One of them hasn't, which one is. All right. Robert Kubitzer. Yeah. Roman Grogon. Okay. Pierre Gasly.

And Nico Holcomberg. I think the answer is Nico Holkenberg. Well done. It is Nico Holkenberg. Oh, yeah. Well, blame. It was a tough one as well. It was a good guess.

It was a good guess. Robert Kubitsa did it once in 2010. He had 136 points. Grojean did it in 2013. Gassley last year had 110, so he's done it once as well. Nika Holkenberg's best result was 96 points in 2014. Holkenberg has got like a score of every year.

Like in the 90s, the 80s, the 70s, 60s. He's pretty much covered. every single one up until 100. But never got there. Three or four, Harry. Three, please. Number three. Okay.

Of these four drivers, three of them have claimed the most pole positions in a season. Which one hasn't? Kimmy Reikinen. Nico Rosberg. Duke Dinsville Fernando Alonso

and Jack Villeneuve your favourite again Oh again Which one of them hasn't claimed the most poll positions in the season Correct

Fernando Alonzo It's incorrect You managed to pick the only one That's done it twice Well on Fernando Alonzo Got the most polls in both 2005 and 2006

his championship winning years Vilnerve did it in his championship winning year 1997 Rosberg did it in 2014. Obviously not the year. He won the championship, but he did do it once.

But Kimi Reichenen has never done so. No, man. I thought Kimi was always... Yeah, all right. I thought Kimmy would have done it as you. Long of the lie. I thought he'd have done it in 05, but fair on you not.

Sam, what number would you like? Oh, I reckon I have number four, please, Ben. Oh, good shout. Yeah, you can have number four. Four absolutely legendary drivers coming up for you. but only one of them never raced for Menardy. Oh, I get this wrong. Jolt Baumgartner,

Vitantonio Leutsi, Christian Albers, and Patrick Frizacher. I reckon it was Leutze. He's only gone and done it, it is Leutzee. Oh, three for F! And we can chalk that one up as a Sam Sage win. 3-1. Well, don't Sam.

I've never got so many things right of pure guessing in my life. Three. If I give you a 50-50, just pretend the options are very yes, yes, no and very no. Strongly agree, gree, disagree. I agree. We've done too much. recording it one evening I want to go out

I think we have I think Dinsmore's out enough for one evening Oh yeah I agree with that I don't think I'm a desperate

for a question so much Oh well-n't have good win Here we go Have you got it lined up

Harry? I do but I'm confident that this is now broken but here we go Okay

well if it is broken I'll give it a go and then we'll just we can't play it

if we can't play the theme but you know I would have to drop it in by now yeah anyway go go

F1 back and forth it's F1 back and forth it goes backwards then goes forth it's F1 back and forth

F1 oh it slaps absolutely slaps this is my least favourite episode of the month or quarter or however frequently

we do this because all the power is taken away from me and it's given to a certain Sam Sage and it shouldn't need me to tell you that power and Sam Sage go together like Ferrari and strategy. So, yeah. Oh, very good. Very good.

Hello, everyone, it's me. Your host for the day, Sam Sage. You're what's mad about the F-onback and forth theme? Someone tweeted us earlier saying that it's been stuck in their head for ages and that one of you boys replied, well, we're going to be playing it against. And I find that mad that one of our voices is stuck in someone's head. Crazy. Why it's your voice?

Worrying me, it's about maybe the worst one you could have had. Maybe the worst one. I mean, I'm going to talk to you now, because that's fun. We are at Austria, and we've had a couple of the answers already brought up within the podcast today. Since 1970, there have been 23 different winners of the Austrian Grand Prix. How are you decided to leave? 197.

Like, that's Ben's era, man. Yeah, but you've got all the up to the first. modern day. Sinks 1970. There's 23 answers. And I mean, we all know that the tracks have three separate names, the Red Ball Ring, the A1 ring, the Auster-like ring,

which is, you know, fascinating. Little factor if you didn't know. Just call me stat, man. Don't. Anyway, who'd like to go first? I don't really mind. Hang on, fancy it.

Ben. You get. Peng? Let's be ping. Max. Stappen. Oh, the shock answer. All of your answers like that.

Please don't. Please don't. Max Stuffing is correct. He won in 18, 19, and 21, and of course, from the Skirian Grand Prix as well, but we're not counting that because it's under a different name.

Oh, my go. Yes, Harry, you'll go. Great concept. Lewis Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton is correct. He's only won at this track once, one of his least successful Grand Prix. He won in 2007.

16. Ben. Did he win in 2020? The Styrian one, yes. Ah, right. See, I forget. I told you I forget. Boatty, boat face. Oh, the big boat ass. He has, of course, won it twice.

More than Hamilton, 17 and 20. He won the actual Austrian Romprey, not the Styrian one. Well done, Ben. That's two for you. One to Harry. Harry, ever to you. Michael Schumacher Michael Schumacher is correct he won it in 02 and 03 with Ferrari

of course well done that's two for two Nico Rosberg I mean I don't know why you're saying it in that manner but it is correct he won in 14 and 15 again more than Lewis Hamilton surprisingly so that's 3-2 to Benjamin well done

that is a lot of the obvious one has kicked off already. Harry, your go. Um, oh my lord. That's not an answer. The DC win it. DC did win it in 01. He has picked up one victory here in Austria.

Well done you. That's three all. Ben, we've got 17 to go. Eddie Irvine. Eddie Irvine is correct. He won in 99, of course, in Ferrari. it famously didn't hold me as a baby I just scoot next to him

well done at four every time well I didn't make sure if a D.C. But how you brought it up? He did hold me as a baby. Harry, over to you. Honestly, really, really

because there's a couple left in the 90s and then there was a gap to 80s. Correct. They did pause it for a while. I don't know any of them. I don't know any of them. Um, um, mickahckenen. Mika Hakenen is correct. He has had two wings at the Austrian Grand Prix.

He won 98 and 2000. For all. Ben. Nikki Lauder. Nikolaude. Nikolaude. It's very correct indeed. 1984.

Only one wing. Also not with Ferrari as it might thought it was. McCarran Tag. That is five. Harry. I don't know. Kecky Rosberg. Kecky Rosberg is not correct,

and Harry has knocked himself out incredibly early on into the proceedings for things. Ben, you want to round it off as the winner? Get as many as you can. I'll throw some names out. I think you were quite unlucky with that because if my memory serves me right, he had a very good battle, Rosberg,

with... Wasn't it like over the lines? Yeah. Damn it, and was it DeAngelis that won it? It was DeAngelis that won it. Yes, it was. In 1982, driving the Lotus Ford.

Who else have I got? Such a random one. Vitorio Brambia. Brambeer is correct. In 75, who's driving the March Ford. I mean, there are some massive names that neither of you have made you get. Absolutely huge names.

Yeah. I'll go, Prost. Prost is the joint most successful individual at the track alongside the stacker with three wings, 83, 85 and 86. Who else? Myr won around that time? No, did they race there in 97?

They did. They did race there in 97? Yep. Let's say Villeneuve won't 97. Oh, that's why Harry can remember because his favourite driver in the world, Vilnerv did wing in 97. I thought it might have been H-H-H-H.

Jeff, but it wasn't. No, that's the year that we had. They came back in 97. So, and then the first, the year they left was 87. So if you're looking for your next year, 87. Ah, it was good in 87. Nigel, PJ. Oh, can't mention it.

Um, who? Nigel, the racist. The one of them. It's a strange book title. Dang, what are you going to go for? Oh. I'll go for PK. Well, that's a shame.

You shouldn't be sided with evil because it was Manxel, who won in 87. Oh, see. Didn't he win any of the earlier ones in the 80s? No. What the... Oh, come on. It was Peky. I couldn't resist that. Come on.

Oh, come on. You're not wrong. We just try to be family friendly friendly here. All right, I'll run you through all the ones that you got left. So yes, it was Mansell and 86. you've got Lafitte in 81 in the liegee matra you've left me with the game Lefitte

Lefitte I'm not going to bring out to Eche That's not even the hard one We've got the hard one now Right Before we started recording the podcast Folks I said to the guys

One of the games on this, and there's this answer sheet, is so difficult to say that I'm going to embarrass myself unless I guess it. And I was hoping they'd get there. What's the initials? What's the initials? Well, P.J. P.J. As in first name P, second name J.

He drove a Rengo, if that helps. It's a good thing I am intercepting you on this, because I don't think his first name. does begin with P. I'm assuming you mean JPJ, which is Jean-Pier-Jabwee. Yes.

Oh, it's in Chabouet, is it? That's good. What were you going for? Shabui. Jablis. Oh, God. Pierre Jiboui. What was your name?

Jambu. Oh, God. Right. Alan Jones, we're getting 77. What's the long of getting 706? Alan Joni. You already got Brad Bia.

774 was Reitamom. In 78, 73 was Ronnie Peterson. 72 was fitter parody. I'm going to get this one wrong as well. 71 was, is it Josephair or is it Josephette? I don't know. And then in 1970, in 1970, Jackie Hicks. Yeah, got it.

I didn't know you, man. Swiss! I cry out loud, leave me alone. way Bui play the jingle oh, cranky

oh play that just sums it up don't it no I won't play Oh Speaker of the House of Commons John Burko is ready which means Sam's ready

As we get ready to play F1 order please It's coming I promise you Please Go on then It's coming I promise I'm coming I've pressed the button and everything

I definitely sing these live folks I definitely sing them live I promise No no nothing It's just a button on Sam's shoulder That's all we do Ah we're so professional Well this is a nightmare Should we cut this bit out?

Oh dear Okay well it plays that one I mean that's That's the wrong one 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 1 Order, order please You just needed a bit of encouragement From John Berker, didn't you? I was so I was so shocked That you had COVID Ben That I just had to compose myself

That was That's fair That's fair No I pressed the button and everything And it was just not happening Anyway F1 order please If you haven't listened

Along to this game before I'll let you know How it goes down so it'll be Sam versus Harry. I've got six lists in front of me that they have not yet heard or seen. And there are four items in each list. And they will have to order them in a certain way. So it could be four drivers from oldest to youngest or most races to least races.

If they get it right, they get a point. And more importantly, they get to hear this. Order! Confirming that they have got the order correct. However, if they don't get it right, it is passed over to the other. the player, they can either neglect to try and solve what they've got wrong. I won't

stipulate, I won't say how they've got it wrong. But if they do want to try and steal the point, and they get it wrong as well, they lose a point. So if the score ends up at about nil-nil, don't be surprised because that's probably what ended up

last time. I think it was one nil last time after six questions. That sounds about right. That shows how badly we were. Yeah. Anyway, I'm sure you'll understand as we get into it. So, Sam, you can go first this time. What number would you like?

Is it between 1 and 6, or is it between 103 and 19? Or what am I picking it? Well, if it was between 103 and 109, there'd be 7 numbers, so it's not that. It's between 1 and 6. Good. Brilliant me. Well done. I'll have number 2, please, because I'm poo at this.

All right. we're going to go with uh williams wins wins for williams from these four drivers from most to least uh uh mansell nigel mansell dr nige i'm right lan prost yeah dill damon hill and our absolute favorite mr chunky one pablo montoya my god i've gotten literally like they're all really good can i say that Is that a point, please, Dr. Manxel? No, not quite. Okay.

Right. It's not true. Most to least. I'm going to say, most, then Manxel, then Prost, then Mr. Chunky.

It is not correct, I'm afraid. Harry, would you like the opportunity to steal, or are you going to leave this one alone? Um, I'll steal. Oh, you can't resist it.

You can't resist it. How are you changing up Sam's answer? So, hang on. So you said, Dill, Mansell, Prost, Chunky. I will go for, that's tricky because actually I'm thinking maybe

that's what I would have gone for originally. I'll go for. Mr. Chunky can't have that more than Anna Prost. No chance. I'll put Mansell first, then Dill, Chunky. Mansell, Hill, Prost, Montoya.

Correct? Chunky, yeah. Yeah. That was right. He didn't say anything, you can see on his face for his finding the bloody button. I hate it. Sam was very close, but it is Mansell, then Hill. So Mansell had 28, Damon Hill had 21, Prost had 7, and Montoya had 4.

Harry, you get a point, and you also get the next. question which one would you like oh what number was sounds I go for one then please okay I want from best to worst I want you to say where these guys finished in their first ever race so best ever first race to worst ever first race Lewis Hamilton they're not all on the same race no not the same race right so Lewis Hamilton yeah yeah Kimmy Reichenen. Yep. Jacques Villeneuve.

And Nico Rosberg. Okay. Best, oh, I'll bit my tongue. Best, I'll go for, best I'll go for Jacques Vilnav. That pains me to say that. Good one does, doesn't it?

Second, I'll go for Hamilton. Third, I'll go for Reikinen, and then fourth I'll go for Roxburgh. So Vilnerve, Hamilton, Reikinen, Rosberg. Yes. Order! I hate this game, see you later.

So yeah, Jacques Vilner finished second at his first race. Lewis Hamilton was also on the podium, but he finished third at his first race. Kimmy Rykenen scored a point, he was sixth, and then Nico Rosberg was seventh in his first race for Williams. So well done. Another point for you, Harry. Sam, back to you. Anything between three and six? Will not be the amount of points that I'm scoring in this bloody game show. I'll have five, please.

Oh, this is my favourite one. Oh, that means it's the hardest one. Yeah, it might be. I do like this one. So this is actually an aid of Big Zon's birthday today. So I want you to tell me from earliest to latest What year these Brazilian drivers debuted in So the first one

Naturally is Ricardo Zonter Ricardo Rossett is the second one Oh god Oh boy Enrique Benongdi is the third one And Mauricio Gugelman Oh

Can I Google that? Sorry, I didn't quite pronounce it, right, did I. Googleman. Google Man. Guzman. I write this down, and I've literally written the word Google Man, so don't worry about it. Big Mo, as he was sometimes called. Big Moe.

I mean, he was actually called Big Moe, though. That's, yeah. We haven't even made that one up. Oh, big ones. And I'm giving earliest to latest, or most recent to earliest. earliest to latest okay um

Benoldi Zonter Google man and then Rosset so you're saying Bernoldi debuted first yes and then it was

I think I say Zons yes I say Zons then Guzumann and then and then Ricardo Rosset. I can't, I Google it, man. You might

wish you could, I'm afraid that's not correct. Harry, would you like to try and steal this one? Absolutely not. Good call. The earliest was Big Moe, Google Man. He debuted in 1980. After that was Ricardo Rosset in 1996, then Big Zonts in 99, and then Enrique Bonaldi in 2001.

I got them literally all in the wrong place. That is amazing. Yeah, if you put, if you put Google Man and draw it the other way around, you would have been spot on wrong. If you ever play Wordle, folks, this is like the F1 of Wordle and I rubbish at it. Okay, well, Harry, you're still two-nil up. What number would you like next? Six, please. Okay, I want you to name from most to least. How many seasons these drivers have raced in?

Oh, that's easy. Yarno Trilly, Daniel Ricardo, Jackie Stewart, and Nico Rosberg. It's not easy. I take it back. Right. I have to count my fingers here, folks Okay, Yana Trilly, the Trilly train Koo-choo! Oh, for crying out loud, thank you all for all the count since.

I go, I'll do Ricardo first, because I know that one. Ricardo, he started him, 11, what if he's a half season? They all count. He started racing a season. 11, 13. Oh yeah, he's done 12, good. then we go for Yarn and Trilly what's he done when did he start

he started in the 19th good one if you only need to be that precise Sam would have got the last one right um he did

look you'll guess it right anyway you get them all right because you just guess and it's somehow correct she played the bloody lottery mate Rosberg so I'll go for Trilly Ricardo

Rosberg Jackie Trilly Ricardo Rosberg Stewart was that right yes

Trilly Ricardo Rosberg yes God Sam is absolutely having a mare That was actually my order

if I was going to steal it as well Oh god Out of interest I mean you were right We're saying Ricardo's done 12 seasons Did you have numbers on the other ones I think

Trilly's done He was in 97 Is he start 997? Yes I think it was Yeah And then he did 2011 So that which

Yes 15 I've got written down here And that would be 15 I think so that makes sense and then rock the bid 10 or 11 11 11 I don't know how many just

Jack Stewart that was about he did 9 so yeah 3 now this is becoming a bit like Newcastle for you I'm afraid Sam but what are you on about do you go away Coventry boy fuming I'm so angry

number three or number four Sam oh well I'm getting a lose four Hill, some of those will choose number four. This one's all about Lewis Hamilton. From most to least, how many wins he's got at each of these circuits? Oh, crap, I've got to have to write this down, because I forget the other names.

All right. All right. Barcelona. Monaco. Hungary. And Suzuki. So, most to least. Most to least.

I'm torn between two. Which is great because that's 50% of the answer, so that's brilliant. Most, I'm going to say hungry, then I'm going to say Barcelona, then I'm going to say Morocco, and then I'm going to say Suzuki. I'm already wrong. Good. Good. I've quit the game. See you later.

Bye. Harry, would you like to steal this or not? No. Do you... Absolutely not. Sam was going to love this because I thought he was going to get this right as well. He was so close. He just needed the last two the other way around.

I mean, folks, Sam's actually left. There's just two people on the screen now. Something got up in the water. Hungary eight race wins. Barcelona six. He's going to love this because there's only one between these as well. Suzuki 4 and Monaco 3 There are two I was

torn between for Christ Oh I'm sorry Sam All right Last one Harry Well do you want Do you want number three A number draw

Oh fantastic So I've got four circuits here Harry I want you to name them from longest to shortest In terms of overall distance. So appropriately, we'll start off with Jeddah. And then we've got Cota, Zanvort and Barcelona.

Jeddah, Kota, Barcelona, Zandvort. I've no idea. It's correct. Order! He's unstoppable, this guy. Yeah, that's right. Jedder 6.1K, Cota 5.5, Barcelona 4.6, Zanvort 4.3. That was the easiest question I've ever heard.

If it makes you feel any better, Sam, your prediction was right. You did lose 4.0. Great. Brilliant. I'm so happy. I'm thrilled. I love this podcast. Wow. That was... what, I know this isn't customary for this segment, but I'm going to bring him in. After a 4-0 drubbing, I think Dave deserves a bit of action here. The gunges is more enjoyable than losing to Harry, to be honest. Thanks Dave. Cheers, man. As you're probably very aware by now, we're massive fans of the F1 and live sport generally.

Honestly, it would be, it would be bottom tier, but I feel like

the end F-1 just brings it up one or two. That last, F-1. Can someone please make a tier list of jingles, please. Put it in the Discord. If you want to join the Discord, the link is in the description. Over 300 people talking F1 all the time. Someone make a tier list of the terrible, terrible jingles. Don't worry, I'm none of them are going to be in good. I feel like someone is actually going to do that, and I can't wait.

F1, higher or lower, just to give you an idea of what this game is, if you haven't listened to one of these before. I'm going to read out something, and Harry and Sam will take it in turns to guess the number of the stat that I give. So, for example, I might say, how many times has Dave Benson Phillips raced in Formula One? And Harry might well say,

Harry might well say, oh, he raced an F1 10 times. And Sam then has to guess higher or lower. If Sam's correct in that one, he gets the point. However, if he's wrong, Harry gets the point. It's fairly simple, and you'll pick it up soon enough. Just to clarify, actually, on that one. Dave Benz and Phillips never raced an F1.

Despite being a late-breaking hall of fame, despite being a Hall of Famer, never raced an F1. That's a shocker. Just like my flower, I'm Big Shack. Big Shack's been on the pokey more times than we have, though.

True. Very true. Oh dear. Actually, more times than Yuki as well, so, you know. Oh, savage. That is brutal, Sam. Time out.

To be fair, I just told him he might be kicked from his seat for Oscar Piastri, so I can't say anything. But, Hirola, there are eight to choose from. And like I said earlier, Sam, you are looking to get a win back. So I'll let you go first on this one. What number would you like? I'll have number one. Why not start at the start?

All right, let's go with number one. I want you to tell me how many podiums Kimmy Reichenen has had at Spa. So far. So far, obviously, yes. Because he's coming back, obviously. Up until the year 2022. Well, if you said the year 2050, I might have had to extend my numbers. But as you said, 2022, I'm going to go with seven.

Seven is incorrect. Just I forgot one part of the game. If you get it spot on, you do get two points. Sam's guess of seven is not correct. So would you like higher or lower than that, Harry? I'll go with lower. And Harry is on the board, first of all. He's correct with lower.

It's five. Surprisingly, he's had four wins there, but only one other podium outside of those wins. That's why I said seven. I thought he's had more than three wings, but he must have also been on the podium. But there we go. We started off with being wrong.

There's nothing changes. He either wins. Or he doesn't. He doesn't do anything. That is racing, everyone. That's getting tweeted. Yeah, this might not make you feel any better whatsoever, Sam. But I have to say, if I was going for,

I probably would have gone for exactly the same guess as you. So we'd have been wrong together. That does make me feel better. As you are the stat man. I feel good. All right. Stap man. One nothing, Harry, you lead.

What number would you like? Two, bees. Number two. Jim Raffman, great friend of the podcast. Oh, yeah. doesn't quite know it yet, but he has a record in F1. He has the most positions gained in a race. So from qualifying position to end position,

can you tell me how many positions he gained? I don't even know who he is. It's a good start. Sure. He gained 27 positions. It's not correct. Higher or lower, Sam. F1 lower.

Beautifully sung. horribly answered. It's Harry's point again. Are you going to get it wrong? Why does he get a point again? Because you guessed lower. It wasn't lower. Oh yeah, of course.

I forgot the rules of my own game. The reason you might have heard of Jim Rathman, Harry, is because this is going back to the days when the Indy 500 was part of the calendar. And he went from 30 second to second in the race. At the Indy 500. Bending the bloody rules in. You cheeky boy.

Yeah, sneaky one there. You can have any number between three and eight, Sam. Which one would you like? Oh, I'll go to the end. I'll have number eight, please. Number eight. So there are two pretty horrible ones in this. This is one of them.

Good. Because it involves math. It's still a 50-50. It involves maths, basically. Best team of all time, if I was to say that, you would of course say, oh, well, the Renault. team of 2005 is the best team of all time, Alonzo and Fisichalla, of course. I want you to tell me, combined how many race starts they've had.

What, Alonso and Fisichela across their whole careers? A number of race starts for Alonzo, ever, plus number of race starts for Fisichela, ever. Oh, for Christ's sake, what's the point? um um and we see this is a lot a lot I'm gonna go with

our pluck it out the sky 8774 875 that's a joke by the way it's a joke answer before we accept that one oh that's proper got me can I get serious answer

Of course you can go on Thank you About 8753 I wouldn't think I'm saying that as well Sorry Sorry Sorry everyone

About I'm going to say 373 373 Harry would you like to go higher or lower than that I'll go I'll go higher It is indeed higher It is 562

So Alonzo has 333 As of the end of the 2021 season And Fisichella had 229 So Higher was the correct answer Oh that was funny

I wasn't ready for that Alonzo's done like 70 years in F1 It's great Mr Van Hocken will be on that number He'll be there in his own right Number three down to number seven Harry Which one would you like?

Number three, can we go in order All right, this is the other horrible one This might be even more horrible Oh no So Robert Kubitser Robert Kubitser Baby Pole We love Robert Kubitser here on the late breaking podcast Mini poll

Mini pole He holds a record in F1 Does Robert Kubitser and it is the number of days between successive points finishes so he had a points finish however many days until his next point finish

question is how many days were there in between those successive points finishes well that is ridiculous so 2010 and then it must be up to 2019 I can't do that math in my head I'm going to go for 3,931

You might be shocked to know this, Harry. That's not the correct answer. But would you like to go higher or lower than that, Sam? Did you say 3,931? Correct. I'm going to say it's F1 lower. Sam is on the board. It is indeed lower.

You were in the right thousands, just the wrong end of it. 3,178. There's a correct answer there. 8774. You've got... Almost. Close enough. You've got rid of the horrible ones now.

The rest are all lovely. Sort of. Love, good. Sam, what number would you like? How are you going to go in order? So I'm going to annoy him. I go five. Oh, number five.

You went to eight. You've already annoyed me. Don't worry about it. Got to do it every week. Since the start of the hybrid era, how many times has Lewis Hamilton been out of the points since the start of 2014? It includes retirements.

Doesn't include Sequea. I'm going to... I'm going to go with 12. It's not correct Higher Lower Harry I might go with lower Since the start of 2014

He has only finished outside of the points Nine times Wow That's ridiculous And just to I mean just to add another thing into this Eight of those were retirements The only time in the hybrid era

He's finished outside of the top ten And finished Was indeed Baku last year. Wow. That's mad. A bit of a mad style of that one. Number four, six or seven,

Harry, which one you like? Four, please. Ironically, this one is about Esteban Ockon. He can't stay away tonight. How many times has he started a race in F1? Oh. When did he join?

He started at race. I'm still not over him replacing Rio Haryanto, by the way. Well, undeserved. Yeah, true. Rio was given Pascal Berliner run for his money in that manner. Absolutely cheated out of the seat. Anyway, biggest rig job in F-1. Get rid of your Abu Dhabi conspiracies.

That's where the real conspiracy is. So he joined 2016, but he was midway through. He might have done about 10 races. Sing Is that you final answer? 19, no. He left the end of 18, right?

And he's done... Oh, I don't know. He's done 73 races. He has not done 73 races, but has he done more or fewer than that,

Sam, higher or lower? Oh, I have a feeling that Harry's really close with that. I'm going to go because Harry's really bad I don't remember in the length of the 2020 season I'm going to go higher

oh yeah I didn't even count the 2020 season so every time it comes up he doesn't count it I just forget it it existed I have to I don't know off top of my head how many races were in 2020 but if you included it you probably would have been very close it was higher

89 so you were 16 out it was 17 17 went there She's got to be won out. You won out. Oh, bloody, bloody. Number six or number seven, Sam?

It's got to be number seven. All right. Number seven, best driver in F1 history off the top of your heads. I'm not giving that a thing. You wrung out. Pedro Lamy.

Close. Charles Peek is the correct answer. Charles Peek of motorsport. Charles Peake holds a record in Formula One. Unfortunately, it isn't a great one. He holds the record for most, most times he's been passed in a season. How many times was he passed in that season? Is there a cryptocurrency award for that? Make it happen? Most times pass. How many times have you been passing a season? It's got to be pretty savage. I'm going to go with 93.

Not correct. High or lower, Harry? I'll go higher. Sam takes the point. It was a pretty good guess, I would say. I wouldn't know where to start with this one. It was 70. So I'd say that's a pretty respectable guess.

Which, I've got to be honest, early doors, it didn't seem like this was going to be much of a competition, but it's now Harry 4, Sam 3. So there is the chance for the draw. If Harry doesn't get this one right. The last one is about Max Verstappen, Harry. Number six, please. Just in case you were I'm short.

Right, um, hang on. Sorry, repeat that one again. Number six. Right. Okay. Yes, please. This one's about Max Verstappen. I want you to say how many podiums he's had in F1.

Oh. Oh, I don't know. He's ad. Uh, oh God. Right, don't forget 2020. Don't forget 2020. 2018, 2019, 2021, 2021, 2022. Sorry, sorry, he's had 47.

He has not had 47 podiums. So Sam, for the draw, it's a 50-50 choice to make sure you don't lose. Higher or lower than 47 podiums for Max Verstappen. Oh, my God, this is not fair. Michael, no Oh my God If I lose this

Have I got a pair of both HGphones I can destroy On my table I feel it's on 50-50 Why has it got to be a 50-50 They used to be a great TV program Called 50-50 by the way Don't anything one remembers it

Schools used to play against each other More British Is that other reference I'm sorting for time When I try and think of the years He's been on the podium Big up Angelica You know what

Go Big or go home higher. So Sam notoriously gets these 50-50 questions wrong and so much

is on the line for this one at 4-3 down has Sam finally got over his 50-50 troubles He's got me off

he's only got and done it thank you Max oh my good no Max Vostappan has had 60 podiums meaning that after I think

Sam, you were 3-0 down in this game. You've managed to salvage a draw at 4-all. Because someone annotate the Arskel badge onto Harry's face and the Newcastle badge onto my face, please. And someone played a Czech-Tiote Coventry over me winning that final point. It's a very niche football reference, but it's important. Who's Chect-O-T?

Me! Right now. Who is he? He was a... Rescue piece, by the way. Yeah. Yeah. He was a lovely man, and he unfortunately passed away very young. But he scored the brilliant equal item.

He cast against him. Of course he did. I think we've got... I'll remember that. We've got our full fix of British references tonight, haven't we? We have not been short or that. Sorry, folks. F1. I or lower, anti-clamatically, ends in a draw.
