| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to the B1 podcast with Matt and Tommy. |
| 0:11.1 | Driver ratings, Las Vegas. |
| 0:15.5 | Are we ready to grade every driver driver from zero all the way to 10 after probably using a lot of our mental and brain capacities, |
| 0:26.2 | trying to process how on earth that weekend ended the way that it did. |
| 0:31.7 | Well, Tommy, I'm ready. |
| 0:32.9 | I'm so ready. |
| 0:33.7 | I've got my numbers locked in. |
| 0:35.4 | How about you? |
| 0:36.5 | So have I. |
| 0:37.2 | But yeah, the race, like, it was such a weird end to the race that I still haven't computed it in my brain, I think. No, no, me neither. And I couldn't compute either, the four-stop strategy that we had at Lasford. Oh, wait, no, it was a one stop. And everybody did a one stop apart from Alex Albon. |
| 0:54.7 | It's amazing that Alex Albon is the only one I think to have done a two-stopper, barring maybe Sonoda, actually. And he didn't even finish the race. So that just tells you all, he needs to know about Alex Albon. But we'll get into all of that because we're going to begin, where we always begin. Gabrielle Bortoletto started the race in 18th, did not finish. |
| 1:15.6 | So we're kicking driver ratings off with a reasonably negative outlook |
| 1:21.5 | because Gabby Bortoletto had a stinker of a weekend. |
| 1:26.7 | I'm giving him a 1 out of ten. Poor qualifying. Of course, |
| 1:31.3 | it was difficult qualifying and the fact that he didn't crash is a good thing because |
| 1:35.8 | it was very easy to do so. Albon was the only one to make a mistake in qualifying. |
| 1:41.1 | From what I remember, at least a big mistake that meant he went into the wall. |
| 1:44.6 | And then, as for the race, a catastrophic error. |
| 1:49.8 | I don't, I'm not even really giving him leniency with anything higher than a one, |
| 1:54.1 | because it was such a bad error that it genuinely put quite a bit of risk into term one |
| 2:00.6 | with how quickly he went barreling in there |
| 2:03.1 | and cost a couple of drivers their races, Lance Stroll of course, and yeah, it was just absolute |
