0:00.0	Welcome to another edition of DNF. I'm Jessica Smetana. He's Spencer Hall, and we have a new Formula
0:13.2	One drivers champion. Woo! Yay! Who is it? It's Max for Stappin, and that's all we have to say
0:21.8	about that. There's so much more to talk about Spencer. Actually, before we move on, I do want to
0:26.7	ask you what was more anti-climactic max winning, the driver's championship, in the sprint race
0:32.4	in Qatar because Sergio Perez, DNFed, or Max for Stappin winning last year in Japan,
0:40.7	after no one knew exactly whether or not he won because they only race like half of the laps
0:45.8	or whatever, and he got half points. Which one was more anti-climactic to you?
0:49.6	I think this year because it was the next one. They get more and more anti-climactic to
0:54.5	go into this run, so I would say that. The funnier one was last year, right?
0:58.9	It was pretty fun. Although, Czecho bombing out of the sprint does have a little sort of,
1:03.9	like, a little susan of irony there, right? Like, how did Red Bull do this weekend? Well,
1:10.4	there was some good news at some factors. Well, one of them won the championship, and the other
1:14.8	one is now meeting with a sports psychologist because he is driving so poorly. But yeah, I mean,
1:21.6	it was a little anti-climactic because they still had to race on Sunday. It wasn't like,
1:26.5	if it had at least happened on Sunday in the middle of the race, then I think it's easier to have
1:31.9	a celebration, but it was just on Saturday. I don't think the Saturday races get as high of
1:38.0	ratings as the Sunday races. I know they're trying the new format with the sprint shootout and
1:42.1	everything like that. So it was just a very like, oh, okay, that happened. But we all know it was
1:46.6	going to happen anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Yeah, it is like the definition of anti-climaxes,
1:52.5	the current standings for the Constructors Championship. Red Bull has 657 points, and Mercedes has
1:59.7	326. 326. That's a lot more. That's double. That's double what Mercedes has made. It's pretty much
2:13.1	all max at this point. In the last three races, Sergio Perez has only scored five points to
