| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 podcast with Matt and Tommy. |
| 0:10.2 | We are still in person, which means we are still touring Australia. |
| 0:13.8 | We have our final show literally this evening before we head back to the UK. |
| 0:18.1 | It's been an awesome trip. |
| 0:19.5 | I have obviously, we've missed our set-ups. It's very an awesome trip. I have obviously we've missed our |
| 0:21.0 | setups. It's very cozy, isn't it? It's very easy to jump on Formula One News and chat F1 when we're there. But it's also been great to be in person, Tommy, and doing all our shows. It absolutely is. Yeah, we're currently in Perth, which is the further city away from any other city in the world. So we are very far from our bedrooms right now. |
| 0:37.4 | But we're slightly closer to our time zone because it is in fact, seven hours, isn't it, |
| 0:41.4 | rather than nine? Right. So today we are going to explore Antonelli's actual chances of winning |
| 0:48.0 | the world championship. And I think it's a very interesting topic because the first four |
| 0:53.9 | rounds have been phenomenally impressive from Kimmy, especially the last three races. |
| 0:58.5 | Can't believe he's got the stat that no other driver holds, or record, in fact, of having his first three consecutive pole positions be all race wins. |
| 1:07.1 | Like that, I think he matched, was it Senna and Schumacher or for the qualifying polls, but no one had ever done that conversion for race wins. Yeah. So, yeah, we've had that with the poll positions. And I think it was Hackan and I want to say, Damon Hill off the top of my head that have like won the first three but no one have won those |
| 1:27.6 | first three from pole position as well as soon as he got that first poll he's like right let's let's |
| 1:32.4 | get some Vastap and dominance going and wow he's done an unbelievable job so Kimmy Antonelli 19 years old |
| 1:38.0 | can he win the Formula One world championship in just his second Formula One season let's dive into |
| 1:44.1 | why we think he can win it to begin with, Tommy. Yeah, okay. So, well, first of all, I predicted him. So, of course, you know, I'm going to be smug about that because I can be after four races. Go on. Tell everyone your F1 Fantasy ranking because, you know, I may as well tee you up before you... Okay, okay, 38th out of 2 million players in F1 Fantasy, which is a great start. |
| 2:05.7 | I'm 15,000. |
| 2:06.9 | Not so great. |
| 2:08.2 | Yeah. |
| 2:09.1 | And yeah, Kimmy Antonelli, before testing, I predicted him, and I'm sure a lot of people are going, |
| 2:15.7 | well, of course, you know, it was a Mercedes driver, but I'm sure a lot of people are going well of course you know it was a Mercedes |
| 2:18.2 | driver but I'm just going to go through the little poll we did of the fans and how many people |
