| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 podcast with Matt and Tommy. |
| 0:10.9 | Oh dear, dear, oh dear. We've had to do a podcast. Tommy is, I mean, I say we like doing podcast. Don't get me wrong. I meant we had to do one right this second. Tommy, you are in transit |
| 0:21.6 | from Australia back to the United Kingdom. I thought it was safe to go for some interval training running and then Max Verstappen's car was like, see ya, and then I had to run all the way back. So I'm red, hot and flustered. Tommy, you're probably jet lagged out your mind, but we're here to talk about Max for Stabin's |
| 0:37.2 | Nervoering Heartbreak. |
| 0:38.6 | We are, sadly, the heartbreak. |
| 0:40.5 | We're literally... you're probably jet lagged out your mind but we're here to talk about max for stabbins and an erbowring heartbreak we are sadly the heartbreak we were literally chatting as i was about to |
| 0:43.1 | land in Singapore uh watched quite a lot of the uh the race as much as i could had before getting my |
| 0:50.4 | flight and then yeah we were messaging going oh maybe you know I've landed I've got a |
| 0:56.0 | bit of a stopover maybe we could record something once the results in and didn't realize that that |
| 1:01.0 | result of Maxis happened would be very quick because yeah within moments the car broke down so |
| 1:08.8 | yes it's tough very tough let's dive into that sad story a little bit more |
| 1:13.2 | because it also is quite an insane timing story because we were just discussing it you of course |
| 1:18.4 | were on your flight at the time and i was like oh look you know maybe we can you know talk about |
| 1:22.5 | getting a social clip ready for when max festapen wins and i even said what's the worst that could |
| 1:26.6 | happen and then genuinely i'm not even kidding, about 60 seconds later, |
| 1:31.3 | um, Juncadela was losing half a minute a sector and the car then broke down very soon after. |
| 1:37.5 | So I just want to apologize for saying that. |
| 1:40.5 | I know, there's a part of me that's like, oh no, poor you Tommy, it's such a shame that |
| 1:44.0 | you have to go through such heartbreak. I've had 10 years of it. But it is a sad story. Yes, I've won at what cost because this was going to be the loophole for my Maxis Tapen doesn't win a race this year prediction. That if he'd won the Nureberg ring, you'd have been like, no, it doesn't count. And of course, I've won, but at what cost? Oh my God, as well. And, of course, he got disqualified from the other race that he did. Yeah. Yeah. It's not going well, is it, for Max this year? He might have to pop to Formula E or something. But to get you all up to speed as to what this race was, it's the 24 hours of Nuremberg ring. And Max Verstappen was racing in the top class with teammates Danny Yonkadella, Jules Gunon, and Lucas Auer in a Mercedes AMG GT3. It was all, you know, all the preparation came down to this moment it's we've actually been lucky enough to go to the |
| 2:35.4 | nerberg ring 24 hours a long time ago hadn't we tommy and um it was such an awesome experience |
| 2:41.2 | so much energy that it's it's a race that you can't really mimic at all it's it's such an awesome |
