Hello everybody and welcome back to the that time when podcast.

And today we are talking about that time when Mercedes were embarrassed at home and no we're not

talking about having your feet up on the sofa. Oh that was embarrassing wasn't it? So

none of that slipped over at home or something and no none of that was me. This has got to be one of

the most embarrassing moments for a team that was incredibly dominant. Shot Cara. Well welcome

Tom Bellingham the WTF1 founder is going to take us through everything that went on in the craziest

2019 German Grand Prix. And he can think of bonkers race. We put a tweet out and asked for

people's favorite races of the last 10, 15 years which we cover on this. And even though this is

only three years ago, this was easily the most popular suggestion. So we thought we'd throw

back to this one. Why not? Throw back. So what was F1 like in 2019 everybody like how can we

forget? Mercedes were really really really really really really quick. Okay. However they weren't the

only quick car that year because Ferrari was so with their naughty engine particularly good.

Yeah. But they didn't deliver did they? No it sounds all too familiar for those listening

in 2022. Ferrari had a very quick car. The points gap didn't really tell just how quick that Ferrari

was. If you think back to testing in 2019, people were saying you know this is Ferrari's year they

were really quick and Charlotte put it on pole a few times and they genuinely looked like they

could be up there. But Mercedes being Mercedes, they did just deliver all the time. And I don't think

they had a more dominant car than they did in those kind of 2014, 15, 16 days certainly not

nowhere near as dominant. It was still obviously very good and they're very quick. But they ended up

getting one, two and pretty much all the first five, six, seven, eight races. I think it was so. Yeah,

it was more the fact that helped certainly by Ferrari being very quick and not delivering the goods

wherever we heard that before. Oh thanks Tommy. Thank you so much. I thought we were throwing back.
