0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome back to the B1 podcast with Matt and Tommy.
0:09.5	We are into the Chinese Grand Prix.
0:12.2	We've had one practice session.
0:13.6	Get rid of that.
0:14.2	We don't care about that.
0:15.1	We got competitive sessions left, right and center this weekend.
0:18.3	And it started with Friday sprint qualifying. And I'm hoping this is a
0:23.7	trend in the 2025 season where we just have storyline after storyline after storyline,

1:19.9	20th on the grid. And it is, you cannot say it's anything other than the disaster of a start in that Red Bull seat.
1:25.2	They did not hire Liam Lawson to be that far off Max Verstappen.
1:29.3	I know they didn't hire him to beat him or match him, but they didn't hire him to finish last in qualifying. 32-729, and Vastappen did a 31-916. So 8-10s clear was Max in Q1.
