Matt looks different today
So does tommy
So does me. I went to the barber
Better or worse? 😂
He shaved
Alex Jacques was born to commentate, I really like this style.
In the trade off between height & commentary god was heavily biased towards the latter.
100% agree. I swapped over from listening to the Sky team fully last year and haven't looked back
Alex jacques is shit bro he's like he got something in his throat. Crofty is miles ahead
@@d.b.cooper1LMAO💀💀💀
"His" Style? Carbon copy of Crofty?
Wth you have the F1 commentator on as a stand in for Matt? P1 continues to surprise 😂
Just casually getting Alex Jacques to fill in for Matt, damn, didn’t expect that… But for that sprint, i’m so high on hopium for Lando to get a (sprint) win finally 🙏🏻 🧡
I am a bit afraid that Lando might get swallowed on the long straight
@@JigsawLVI'm pretty sure lando wouldn't mind being swallowed on the straight 😂😂
@@JigsawLVmaybe McLaren brought some straight line speed this time
Tommy: Matt's on a plane so we brought in someone else...
Me: Boooo Matt is irreplaceable.
Tommy: ...by the name Alex Jacques.
Me: I owe you an apology. I wasn't really familiar with your game.
Post-sprint conclusions: Lando is allergic to winning
We started with fire, then we got rain.
I'm expecting snow on Saturday😂
🤣🤣 Absolutely, yes please!!
Ed Sheeran has entered the chat
I just want to say how awesome it's been to watch Tommy go from quiet awkward when he has to host on his own to just nailing it. A twitch watch along all on his own? Tommy? One truly great thing about RUclips is getting to watch people grow as they do their thing more and more.
He's getting his glow up like Sainz
Ya wasn't sure what to expect but damn Tommy nailed it.
What are you talking about!? He wasn’t alone?? Matt was right there next to him, he looked shocked to “be there”😂😂
Wow, Alex Jacques! He is my favourite commentator, it's great he is there to keep Tommy company
I prefer Ben Edwards
He's a good 3rd
Murray Walker
@@BDSFormula1 Ben Edwards was amazing as well. I really miss his commentary on channel 4
@@calcifer1234 I remember his days at the BBC
he said the fuck word
He's my favourite active commentator. I'd still like to hear James Allen back in the comm box one day though
Got to know him thanks to Formula 2. He is such a great one. Could become such a legend as Crofty
The reason lando had his lap reinstated was it isn’t a hard and fast rule that your next lap is deleted, it is down to the stewards notes. On some tracks it is in the stewards notes if you go off the track that lap and the next is deleted, it wasn’t in the stewards notes in china.
What a fun top 3 for tomorrow: Lando, Lewis, Fernando. I really hope Lando can defend and get himself a P1 for the first time, even in a Sprint. The fact that Oscar got one before him in a debut season is wild. A first step to Lando's first win.
Imagine Lando FINALLY getting his first win and it's in China
@@ultramariogod why? Is that not good?
@@ultramariogodyeah no chance
No chance they stay on top unless rain continues into the sprint- rain gave them an edge that won’t be replicated on a dry circuit.
Mclaran deffo faster than merc, so lewis won't be overtaking him
Seems like just yesterday Tommy was the shy/quiet one. Now he is leading the podcast on his OWN and absolutely killing it! We love to see it! Great pod! 👍😁❤
Alex Jacques is the best F1 commentator! Nice to see him on P1.
Good thing you got a Matt replacement in :)
Thank you Tommy for being there for SQ even without Matt. Was lovely to watch! And also, for you to make the discussion as a video + even organizing Alex. Lovely!
1 second into the video and already love this episode!
To have Tommy as the opener and Alex Jacques as a guest, a very welcome surprise indeed
The grass catching fire due to sparks, makes perfect sense actually!
There has been a curious phenomenon going on in China in recent years.
Instead of using precious water to keep the grass in public places alive, they've taken up the strategy of *painting* the dead grass green!! (Trees and bushes too!)
So if that's what they've done here, dead grass + paint + sparks = a pretty flammable combination!! 🔥👀
Makes sense that's exactly what my wife said to me "I wonder if they painted the grass"?
Makes much more sense
Exactly. That was my immediate thought. I’ve seen too many videos of people in China spraying grass green when it’s basically dead. And then there’s the fake fields of poppies with ping pong balls on the end of rebar wedged into the floor!
Tofu deg 🤣⛳
Where r u even getting these information😂😅 no grass in China are being painted green, r u actually thinking it might be real? That’s kinda sad
Great chat, really like Alex Jacques insight and commentary. Great job on the solo stream as well, Tommy.
6:11 surely they’ve painted said grass with some paint/stuff thats flamable and that’s why its catching fire from the sparks.
It's just very dry dead grass that was painted green imo.
@@JuanDiego-vx7bx exactly what i think too
We love you Tommy, also nice to see Alex here.
More of this please. Guests in the show makes for a great difference in pace.
Need Katie Fairman back for a show
@@ronan1686no. Leave that overweight shrill where she is.
Agree
Casually having Alex Jacques on the reaction podcast.
Message for mr Alex - I did watch Aprint Quali with ma native language commentators. Later I went on youtube to watch the highlights and man... Your voice, your excitement, the pure joy that made my heart beat faster, I swear I had a boosebomps, and I knew the results! Thank you!
For a moment I thought we might get the good old HAMVERBOT
Was pleasantly surprised to see Alex Jacques on today, love his commentary on F1 tv, P1 doing big things 👀.
Love listening to Alex today, hope to see more guests in the future
Bloody brilliant!, Mat was literally a lost for words, movement, and even breathing!
What!?
I love Alex Jacques!
Absolutely amazing he’s doing the podcast with you! 🎉❤
Great guest, top work Tommy
Please no spoilers on the graphic… This channel and you guys are phenomenal! I’ve only mentioned spoilers once before, and you’ve been great since, just something to keep in mind. ❤
Seriously! Very glad I stayed off RUclips until I watched sprint quali because “LANDO POLE” was the first thumbnail that popped up.
Agreed…hadn’t been able to watch qualifying yet, opened RUclips and the thumbnail was the first thing I saw. Made watching it, incredibly boring, especially when they first deleted the lap. With a global audience, not everyone can watch live.
Yes, love the channel but man they had me today, opened yt for some music and it was straight in my face.
At least the algorithm is getting us our P1!
I was so disappointed to see the results too!
This vid was so good, Tommy did a great job !
Great to see Alex, Tommy a fab host as always, calm and collected, and a crazy quali to boot. Good job guys 👍
Wow what a banger
Props on getting AJ guys 👍🏻👍🏻 well done Tommy for holding down the fort 💪🏻
Massive kudos for getting Alex Jacques on board, brilliant work.
I would love to see more of Alex Jacques with you guys. That was fantastic.
What an awesome video, awesome job Tommy
😂😂more Tommy screentime is always amazing
Tommy did a great job of hosting today! Absolutely crushed it.
Well done Tommy for hosting the pod. Not sure you could have done it a year ago. Just shows how much confidence you've gotten x
I freaking love Alex man its so awesome to get his thoughts after commentating the literal session lol
Awesome to see Alex in the video! ❤
You guys are unaware of the regs for the Chinese GP, lap deletion is singular at this GP not 'and the next lap' as at tracks where advantage is gained by extending final turn.
I never thought Alex Jacques would be in this channel
What's nice about the new format (if we must have sprints at all) is that the sprint and the race are at different times of the day, so it is not going to be an a complete reveal of how the race will be (hopfully). Add to that mixed conditions, maybe finaly get a banger 🤞
I was not expecting the rain to disrupt Max from getting pole again. I'm glad it threw a wrench into the mix. Lets go Lando and Lewis ❤
More of Alex Jacques please! I adore his commentary.
Jacques is in the house! Brilliant!
Regarding the fire phenomenon, I think it has something to do with the track that was painted and the workers may have spilled turpentine in certain places. Turpentine is oily and that is why the fire spread so fast,
Alex for the play-by-play, DC and brundle is imo the greatest commentary dream line up.
YOOOOO YOU GOT ALEX POG
What an opportunity to have Alex Jacques on the podcast! A welcome surprise when I logged on to watch all the F1 shenanigans this morning. Need more fantastic cameos from him please and more opportunities for Tommy to take lead. Did a great job. :D
What a guest!
I was reading the podcast description on Spotify and as I was reading I thought to myself "who on earth could they get to fill in for Matt on a quali session like this" and it's ALEX FREAKIN JACQUES. My jaw fell open I had to come to youtube to leave this comment. Love you guys, love Alex and the whole F1TV team. I'm a little star struck over here and I haven't even listened yet
Massive dub getting the GOAT Alex Jacques on the pod 👍👍👍
Tommy!! I like you piloting this episode
Well done tommy, i want to hear matts reaction to that now
Wow huge guest!! 👏🏼
on the fires in the grass :
If you want to "paint" asphalt, especially in a cheap TOFU-dreg kinda way, you just spray gasoline over it. it will turn the asphalt deep black at once.
Im pretty sure that's how they quickly bodged the track-improvements in a typical china-china way.
Holy crap it's actually Alex Jacques!! This man is my favourite commentator since Gordon Murray.
You mean Murray Walker, right? Gordon Murray was (is, actually, he's still alive) a car designer who worked for Brabham and McLaren in their respective winning eras.
Grass is being ignited by the sparks combined with the bichemin paint on the track together its lumps of slightly flammeable paint
Yesss Tommyy
Alex Jacques on P1! I love it!! More please. :) Also, hearing Alex absolutely lose it on the F1 broadcast (during the sprint qualifying) was just amazing. Alex, I need to know, are you actually sitting down when you get that riled up? Because I just imagine you're jumping up and down on your chair (a'la Tom Cruise and the famous couch). 😆
This was the most exciting session of the season
Alex makes me realise I actually really appreciate a podcast where they dive into the details a little bit more. Really great in-depth conversation here. I hope Alex visit more often.
Yes Tommy taking the reins 👌
I feel like when the rain started to come down we really saw the veteran drivers step up. it’s going to be very interesting to see the first few laps of the sprint because we have quite a few very talented drivers up at the front we’re also really gonna see how bad Mercedes really is because Louis now doesn’t have to battle through a field. He’s now starting up towards the front and I think we’re also gonna get a good look at the Aston Martin starting up towards the front with Fernando.
No idea how you bagged Alex Jacques to do the podcast but he was fab! Would love to see him on again!
Alex and Tommy....I like it!
Alex Jacues really got the lighting figured out, what a legend!
Welcome Alex Jacques
Welcome Alex
This is the only grand prix with all the elements present. Dry, wet and even fire
Five years away + minimal practice + rain = banger!
Mclaren didn't ask for the lap to be reinstated. It was the FIA that realised that he had actually gone slower on the 2nd lap and had lost 0.3 seconds from going off in turn 16.
10:19 that is genuinely lovely
Soo cool to have Alex on P1
And again I will be here in the USA up during night time watching. I kinda like it. Growing up in Austria watching with my dad from about 1993 onwards really is a core memory
Bing Chilling
Thought i recognized the name, alex starts talking and im thinkin homie really got the commentator to talk to 🤣
Tommy, I've got to admit I subscribed for Matt just over a year ago, and I'm not sure if you'll see this comment, but you've grown a lot and it's nice to see you can carry things by yourself on camera now, you're doing great :)
Surely people aren't ignoring that verstappen went off the final turn too and didn't even have his last time deleted. So it's not that ridiculous that they give Norris the lap back
Alex… your commentary was good!
Love the still frame of tommy for like 3 minutes
ALEX JACQUES 🙌🏻 love it!
Are Stroll's superpowers now redefined as rain-adjacent?
I think today the issue was that he has no power in the dry (let alone super) to even make it to the wet part so who's to say
3:57 in Ferrari we had a long term pain for a VERY short gain (start of 2022) and then a VERY short term pain (2023) to then have a hopefully a very long term gain during and after this year!
Super nice the heat disappointment from Komatsu seeing where last year HAAS was!
Good to see Alex here
What a crazy SQ3
I really like Matt 2.0!
I enjoyed the guest. Also, I wish you guys did a prediction of who the best non-Max would be, whether they win or not, because that's far more interesting than predicting a "winner", which is almost always Max.
friday race weekend summed up as a song lyric, “I set fireeeeeeee to the rain”
How did you get Alex Jacques in this video?? 😅
I love the Alex Jaques podcast. It's usually called "Free Practice," but it's as informative a fanshow as we have. Highly recommend.
On the reason of fire, it’s because of catkins of Willow trees (got a lot of them in Shanghai this season), they are like cotton and highly flammable, got ignited by floor sparks. Should be fine tomorrow with the rain
That smirk re: Stroll at 8:32 😂
Matt has a very nice voice now, very calming and unique, I like it. Is that caused by being a Ferrari fan?
They added gravel to the outside of that turn, inches from the "track limit" they're having to police? Why even have the track limit there at that point, just let them race.
Thanks!
Wildest 6 minutes of my life
I remember grass fires coming up here n there back in the day watching the V8 Supercars. Their exhaust outlet was on the side of the car. So when they’d come up to the edge of the track, the spits of flames that would come out, hit the grass and ignited it. It being Australia, the grass wasn’t hard to set a light 😂
Wow, Alex Jacques on the show! Great to Alex here as opposed to just F1TV. 👍
I love Alex being a guest would love if he was a regular
