Yes. 384 00:17:24,291 --> 00:17:25,732 It's literally falling apart. 385 00:17:25,861 --> 00:17:30,361 The race was red flagged on lap 68, and they had 10 laps to go at the end. 386 00:17:30,361 --> 00:17:33,412 So it was like, so it was sort of like Monaco had a sprint at 387 00:17:33,412 --> 00:17:34,681 the end, which was kind of cool. 388 00:17:34,981 --> 00:17:40,192 So standing start on lap 70, and in the end, Kimi dropped the clutch 389 00:17:40,201 --> 00:17:43,291 and dumped it and went, and he ends up winning the Monaco Grand Prix. 390 00:17:43,292 --> 00:17:44,642 So there's another win for Kimi. 391 00:17:45,062 --> 00:17:45,362 Awesome. 392 00:17:45,362 --> 00:17:46,062 That was stressful. 393 00:17:46,711 --> 00:17:47,311 It was. 394 00:17:47,611 --> 00:17:49,842 That was stressful knowing that there was a restart. 395 00:17:50,622 --> 00:17:50,892 Yeah. 396 00:17:50,892 --> 00:17:53,931 I did not… I wanted a rolling- From a stop, from a standing 397 00:17:54,091 --> 00:17:55,772 start … want a rolling restart. 398 00:17:56,981 --> 00:18:00,371 Standing start is, like, Kimi's Achilles heel, right? 399 00:18:00,371 --> 00:18:01,241 I mean, terrible. 400 00:18:01,632 --> 00:18:04,141 Surprised Perez didn't get another stop and go penalty. 401 00:18:04,471 --> 00:18:08,041 Now, I, I will say, most exciting Monaco race in a very long time, 402 00:18:08,051 --> 00:18:13,072 like, most exciting Canadian GP in history in, as far as I'm concerned. 403 00:18:13,382 --> 00:18:15,171 So super cool. 404 00:18:15,501 --> 00:18:18,411 And then we talked about this on the other episode, talking about how 405 00:18:18,411 --> 00:18:21,622 Le Mans weekend was a little meh, and this and that, and it was, you 406 00:18:21,622 --> 00:18:25,082 know, not… It's traditionally on Father's Day, but it was the same 407 00:18:25,082 --> 00:18:26,681 weekend as the Spanish Grand Prix. 408 00:18:42,158 --> 00:18:45,568 And I thought to myself, I put on my tinfoil hat yet again, Brad, and 409 00:18:45,568 --> 00:18:50,637 I said, "I wonder if they scheduled the Spanish GP the same weekend as 410 00:18:50,638 --> 00:18:55,477 Le Mans that way Formula 1 drivers can't ever schedule to go race Le 411 00:18:55,477 --> 00:18:58,908 Mans." I think you might be reading a little too much into the tea leaves. 412 00:18:59,017 --> 00:19:02,237 I mean, it's not usually, they don't usually have a race on the same weekend. 413 00:19:02,678 --> 00:19:03,197 Correct. 414 00:19:03,687 --> 00:19:07,197 It's to stop Max from going to do Le Mans if they put them 415 00:19:07,197 --> 00:19:08,277 on the same weekend, right? 416 00:19:08,277 --> 00:19:09,527 Because then he would lose the points. 417 00:19:10,357 --> 00:19:11,417 It wouldn't matter right now. 418 00:19:12,148 --> 00:19:16,028 No, it wouldn't, and that

brings up a very good point because I read somewhere 419 00:19:16,397 --> 00:19:21,937 that his contract is also subject to how good the car is for the year. 420 00:19:22,287 --> 00:19:27,217 So there's rumors going around that the car is so bad that he may be able to get 421 00:19:27,217 --> 00:19:29,517 out of his contract going into next year. 422 00:19:29,847 --> 00:19:30,957 So where does he go then?

428 00:19:44,017 --> 00:19:44,302 I don't know. 429 00:19:44,302 --> 00:19:46,397 And help Ferrari's endurance racing team? 430 00:19:46,838 --> 00:19:49,987 Didn't Leclerc just re-sign his contract for, like, the next 50 431 00:19:49,997 --> 00:19:51,178 years or something like that? 432 00:19:51,178 --> 00:19:51,367 Like he's never gonna leave. 433 00:19:51,367 --> 00:19:54,247 I don't mean Ferrari F1, I mean Ferrari WEC. 434 00:19:54,567 --> 00:19:55,437 No. 435 00:19:55,448 --> 00:19:56,838 No, he'll run a- Probably Mercedes. 436 00:19:57,238 --> 00:19:57,778 Yeah. 437 00:19:58,007 --> 00:19:59,748 He's been running that Mercedes, so. 438 00:20:01,037 --> 00:20:04,037 Maybe they'll have him drive the Ford in Le Mans. 439 00:20:04,477 --> 00:20:05,087 Hey, now. 440 00:20:05,088 --> 00:20:05,757 Hey, now. 441 00:20:05,827 --> 00:20:06,497 That'd be good. 442 00:20:06,908 --> 00:20:08,138 That'd be really good, actually. 443 00:20:08,527 --> 00:20:12,817 But speaking of contracts, there was a lot of hype going into these 444 00:20:12,847 --> 00:20:16,987 couple races where it was like Alonso goes to every track as if 445 00:20:17,237 --> 00:20:19,038 it's his last time at the track. 446 00:20:19,097 --> 00:20:21,367 It's like all this whole sob story, and it's like, come on, guys. 447 00:20:21,367 --> 00:20:24,427 Like I, I… We know Alonso needs to retire, and he's there for 448 00:20:24,427 --> 00:20:27,808 the paycheck, but this year is worse than any year previous. 449 00:20:27,808 --> 00:20:32,207 At least in years prior, Stroll would be doing lead follow with Alonso. 450 00:20:32,207 --> 00:20:34,697 Alonso's, now he's just out there, he's lost, and the car is garbage, and, 451 00:20:34,707 --> 00:20:35,867 you know, everything we already know. 452 00:20:36,378 --> 00:20:39,067 But then I hear that Briatore's coming back. 453 00:20:41,614 --> 00:20:46,634 And he's trying to get Alonso to go to Alpine, and I'm like, is there 454 00:20:46,644 --> 00:20:48,444 blood to squeeze out of this turnip? 455 00:20:48,564 --> 00:20:52,804 I don't know that Alonso going to Alpine is better than keeping Gasly 456 00:20:52,804 --> 00:20:56,414 and Colapinto, because Colapinto's the one that's on the chopping block. 457 00:20:56,694 --> 00:20:57,354 I don't know. 458 00:20:58,384 --> 00:20:59,074 Couldn't tell you. 459 00:20:59,884 --> 00:21:00,844 So I've got a question for you. 460 00:21:01,264 --> 00:21:01,604 Hmm. 461 00:21:01,913 --> 00:21:05,314 I know we're not done talking about the Spanish Grand Prix, but what is 462 00:21:05,354 --> 00:21:11,403 more likely, Verstappen winning another Formula One championship or Hamilton 463 00:21:11,403 --> 00:21:12,873 winning another Formula One championship? 464 00:21:13,284 --> 00:21:16,543 Let's just keep things at sort of a static pace. 465 00:21:16,643 --> 00:21:22,593 Let's just assume not that Kimi wins every race, because we've broken that streak as 466 00:21:22,594 --> 00:21:27,703 a result of the Spanish GP, but let's just say he's able to maintain a substantial 467 00:21:27,704 --> 00:21:32,784 lead, you know, always podium every race with the majority wins in his back pocket. 468 00:21:33,184 --> 00:21:36,604 There's a h- very, very high probability Kimi's gonna win the, the season, right? 469 00:21:36,943 --> 00:21:42,074 That's not to say that Hamilton won't podium the championship this year, 470 00:21:42,074 --> 00:21:45,803 but I don't think he's gonna win it unless something catastrophic happens 471 00:21:45,803 --> 00:21:49,713 to the Mercedes or something happens to Kimi or, you know, just I don't 472 00:21:49,713 --> 00:21:53,844 think he's gonna have a repeat of last year, meaning Kimi, like, kind of being 473 00:21:53,844 --> 00:21:56,553 in the middle of the pack and sort of finding his way and learning the 474 00:21:56,553 --> 00:21:58,063 tracks, and I think he was sandbagging. 475 00:21:58,383 --> 00:21:59,373 I've said that before. 476 00:21:59,893 --> 00:22:04,123 I have a strong suspicion Hamilton's gonna have a good year, but he's 477 00:22:04,123 --> 00:22:05,053 not gonna have a winning year. 478 00:22:05,053 --> 00:22:06,593 He's not gonna get his eighth, right? 479 00:22:06,593 --> 00:22:07,483 It's just not gonna happen. 480 00:22:08,044 --> 00:22:10,073 I don't think anybody else is even close. 481 00:22:10,163 --> 00:22:13,023 Tanya, do you think there's even anybody in contention after that? 482 00:22:13,303 --> 00:22:17,893 Well, technically Russell's only not even, I think, nine points behind him. 483 00:22:18,803 --> 00:22:19,753 Behind Hamilton. 484 00:22:20,003 --> 00:22:20,293 Yeah. 485 00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:24,973 But he's, like, two temper tantrums and a flat tire away from, like, losing 486 00:22:24,974 --> 00:22:26,613 that too, so that doesn't matter, right?
