Hello everybody and welcome back to another double TF1 podcast that time when edition today

we are reflecting of course we're reflecting towards Austria and this time is the 2016

GP that we saw around there a race where title rivals Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton battled

it out for the victory now I am joined of course by our resident founder guest who knows everything

about Formula One that's why he's part of that time when it's of course Tom Bellingham

how you doing Tine? I'm good thanks yeah this is one of those races that feels like not very long

ago but it is actually many many years ago now and there'll be a lot of fans that went watching

in this era and to me it feels like a couple of seasons ago but yeah it's actually six years ago

of course pre drive to survive so yeah that's kind of where we put our that time when pre-eye

YouTube channel oh no yeah this was before it was born maybe you were having conversations about

which presenter should be heading the brand new WTF on YouTube at this point probably would have

been about this time you know either way what was Formula One like in 2016 let's take a look back

if we want to if we can because this was the Mercedes domination era it's Mercedes

had dominated the last two years of course looking at 2016 and they were even more dominant

the year that we're taking a look at well no I love how we obviously there are eras aren't there

there's the Ferrari era there's the Red Bull era there's the Mercedes era but the Mercedes

era was was really bad yeah I remember I know the jerk happened at the most recent corporate

Silverstone where science obviously got poll and then the TV cameras didn't show the rest of the

people that were still setting their laps but that is what genuinely used to happen in this era

because Mercedes would just it was only them too you know you wouldn't even get a moment where someone

unless they crashed or something happened where they like it have to be absolute bonkers so they're not

to win and yeah it would be qualifying sessions and it would just be a case of Ross Began Hamilton
