Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 podcast with Matt and Tommy.

Guitar Grand Prix, sprint qualifying is done and dusted.

Championship is over.

Tommy doesn't even want to be here.

Yuki Snowda is the greatest of all time.

Plenty of things to dive into from this very short qualifying session. It's, you know, it's just over in a flash, isn't it, Tom Bellingham? It is, and you may be surprised them. There is actually, you say I don't want to be here. There's going to be some surprise Tommy optimism here. What? I know. It makes no sense. Of all the times in the season, this is it. Okay, all right. We will wait for that to happen, maybe later on, unless it's optimism about, I don't know, Lewis Hamilton or something, but we will find out. Let's dive straight into it. Let's not mess around here. And start with Sprint Qualifying 1. The bottom five were Stroll, Lawson, Hamilton, Gassley and Collar Pinto. P1Page, remember Tony Soprano. Can it get much worse for Lewis? No, it can't. No, this season is done and dusted. Put it in the bin and set it on fire. It's the worst season for Lewis Hamilton in his entire career. We said it last

time and we will have to say it again. Doesn't have the confidence in the car. I think it's clear as

well that Charles doesn't either. It's not like LeClair put it on the front row of the grid, although

he was looking reasonably strong at points during qualifying, but he's ended up ninth in sprint

quality as well. Ferrari, I hope for their sake they gave up with this car a long time ago, but he's ended up ninth in sprint quality as well. Ferrari, I hope for their

sake they gave up with this car a long time ago, but there's, there's parts of me that's pessimistic.

You know, my pessimistic side is to do with Ferrari and the fact that...

You're wearing me on your t-shirt.

And it's just the pessimism, just...

It is. It's oozing all over me right now. But yes, Hamilton, Shao Lecler, it's a disaster and I just want this season to end. Hamilton wants this season to end as well, clearly. Depressing to hear him after Sprint Quali literally just say about the weather being nice. And that was the only positive. I do love, I do love when they ask him,

so can you take any positives into the rest of the weekend? No, of course he can't. What's he going to say? I'm the head of the Alpines. Yeah, the Alpines are looking like, you know, that we're competing with them and we've beaten them this weekend. But it is a, it's a disaster of Hamilton, I don't know what more you can say.

Like, this just needs to end.

Of course, Hamilton's accolades and everything else protect him in this scenario.

If it's, you know, any other driver that doesn't have all these world championships and obviously

a proven track record, then perhaps would be questioning it.

I don't think we're at the level of questioning it.

It's not changed. The scenario hasn't changed. We weren't expecting it to be questioning it. I don't think we're at the level of questioning it. It's not changed.
