Hello and welcome to the WTF1 podcast. I'm Katie and I'm joined by Tommy and oh my goodness what a qualifying for the barring grumpy Tommy tell me straight away how you feeling you still buzzing it's been a few hours now but I'm just so full of excitement and happiness F1 is back.

I've never been so buzzing about the max of staff and p2 in my entire life. Yeah, it was just awesome to have F1 back to have a session like that there are so many stories we just had to jump on like a little post quality podcast because we've got a race tomorrow and we always we always think like oh we'll talk about qualifying in the podcast I'm under the end so much will happen in the race that we just we weren't even touch on it so thought why not because there's so many things so many things have happened.

It's insane. It really is. I mean let's start with kind of the big headline which is Charlotte Clirt managed to get his 10th career pole position the Ferrari hype train very much left the station I know we've been joking about it but we've now got physical evidence we have a Ferrari on pole for the first race of the season.

I mean, be honest with me, I know you put it on your prediction sheet. Did you put a Leclerc pole as your in your I did. Yeah, I did. I went.

Was that an anti-jokes? No, I did actually think Leclerc might do it. I thought Leclerc. I went. Yeah, Leclerc has happened and then completely overestimated the Mercedes sandbagging which we're getting to later but yeah I'm sure Matt is the smuggiest guy in the world in the world right now because yeah he is called the Ferrari hype train.

And it looks like until Merck catch up which wouldn't surprise me it's going to be the staff and versus Ferrari for the for the wins at the moment and well I mean the staff and Leclerc have a lot of history as well so

insident. Yeah, just an insident. So it's going to be it's going to be exciting how we because you went in the quality watch long we use screaming at the tally as well.

Yeah, I mean I was having to have like my laptop on my my legs and I had my phone as well so I couldn't do my normal like running up and down and screaming at the tally had to kind of focus in a little bit.

But yeah, like I found when we got into Q3 I was literally shaking like the fun of you moments of Q3 because I just had so much excitement and adrenaline in me because I I had an idea that it would probably be the staff and all you know maybe science was even looking like you know pretty promising at one point.

But I just I feel like I still haven't quite processed it the fact we got both houses into what hasn't to Q3 whole comeback our qualifying star let all of these things we will delve into more.

But yeah, you mentioned that Mercedes because you know we have got much experience of Mercedes going into a new season saying oh you know this year we might struggle a little bit and then they come to Bahrain or Australia or Austria wherever the first race is.

Then I'm going to slamming it on pole and winning the race and everybody's like oh here we go again.

But it's got to the point now where there's you know the old folk folk or tale of the boy that cried wolf.

No punny.

Yeah.

The team that cried wolf that's going to be like the headline is netflix netflix episode.
