| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to the WTF1 podcast that time when edition. |
| 0:09.3 | And of course, if it's that time when we have to throw it back with the founder himself, |
| 0:14.1 | Tom Bellingham, who has been alive for almost a hundred years, Tommy. Welcome. You baby faced |
| 0:20.7 | 100 year old. I have, I've seen, I remember back in the day watching the 1950. Chris Grandprey, |
| 0:27.6 | I was there in the crowd. Sarkasm of course. Wow. Thanks. Thanks to Cloud Fight. |
| 0:34.9 | Just to clear that out. I never know these days with Sarkasm. People can sometimes just completely miss it. |
| 0:42.6 | Well, thankfully we're not throwing it back a hundred years because F1 didn't exist then. But |
| 0:46.6 | we're going back to the 2011 Canadian Grand Prix. Now we have just had the Canadian Grand Prix. |
| 0:52.9 | And usually we reflect before a Grand Prix weekend. But we thought we'd reflect after this time |

| 1:28.9 | But they put the timer up, didn't they? It was like, right, we need to get this done now. |
| 1:35.2 | But this went on for what felt like half a day. And this was one of the reasons as well that we now |
| 1:42.8 | get the timer coming up and the very rigid amount of duration. It could be paused for and things |
| 1:49.5 | like that. Although there are some strange, confusing regulations around it and when it counts and |
| 1:54.3 | when the timer starts, when the timer doesn't. And I think there was a bit of confusion actually at |
| 1:57.7 | Monaco. But either all, let's take a look back 11 years ago to what Formula One was like back in 2011. |
| 2:05.0 | And it was Sebastian Vettel dominating, a comfortable lead in the championship arriving at the Canadian |
| 2:11.9 | Grand Prix. And the last race was indeed Monaco, where we did a podcast on it. So it's almost as if |
| 2:19.2 | we have planned and scheduled these things. But yes, it was very much Red Bull era, Sebastian Vettel, |
