He does not have the talent to drive the Flintstones' car let alone an F1 car. Him and his daddy had their chance now it's time for at least junior to bugger off and make room for actual talent.
Even if Lada entered F1 (with a car weighting twice the amount as all the others and a 50hp engine 😂) they wouldn't take Stroll as a driver even if he offered them 50million Daddy Dollars!
Uh oh I might be crushing on Naomi. She’s been a good pundit before, but on this new pod she looks great, knows wheel, and has been dropping good takes. I’m impressed. This pod has a great combo of personalities, this is going to take off. Nice work squad 👍
Honda is not just the issue. You need to look at the packaging of the power train and particularly the location of the MGU-K which can be mounted anywhere under the curent regulation. Honda chose to locate this next to the battery in order to aid aerodynamic packing. In all likelihood, this will have been at the behest of Adrian Newey, who places aero above all else...
> historically, no Australian driver had good races in Melbourne > these experts: Oscar podium Hope Oscar does well (this entire season), tho, as I feel like if Ferrari don't win this year, the universe should help Oscar get some proper vindication for last year.
Why are you guys surprised about people more interested in the wedding? They’re not racing fans; they're Netflix fans. The last thing that they want to know about is cars, points, tracks, race strategies.
Not to be a Honda apologist but there seems to be issues with Aston gearbox and also how the engine is integrated with the car. The testing issues were apparently due to excessive vibrations causing an issue with battery. We should probably wait for more information before we make Honda into punching bags?
I agree. I would be very surprised if Honda didn't notice that the engine vibrated excessively when run on a bench. Surely must be a confluence of factors.
MGU-K not gearbox Rumor is Newey's asks of low positioning of the MGU-K too close to the battery and not strengthening the chassis when Honda brought up the vibration issue. So it's definitely not all a Honda thing from what I've heard
@sauldula There is a fixed geared transfercase between the crankshaft and the MGU-K. This also is being called a gearbox. The AMR build gearbox (ICE=> drive wheels) sounded horribly when shifting.
This was a great podcast, thank you all. Not too much hype, some news and some excellent talk about women in our sport. Thanks especially to Will for mentioning Bertha Benz. She is, as Will said, the mother of motoring. She started it all. Without her we would live in a very different world.
Guys to elevate the pod, please include pictures of some people you talk about and when you mentioned some of the pranks...show us, well done great pod 😊😊 🎉🎉😊😊
DC you mentioned Ann Bradshaw I remember Ann very well back in the early 1970s when I was racing Ann was working for the BRSCC we would have to sign in as a driver she was always so lovely and had that big smile for all of us . Thanks for that memory .
This has become my go to Podcast! Look forward to every episode and I’m loving all the presenters .. the fact that each one of them brings something different to the table. Especially love Jolie’s fun vibe
@uptospeedshowstop with the garbage intros. That works when youre showing highlights not when its people speaking. We already clicked the video we aren't going to stop watching because its a podcast like we expected
The car harmonics are the thing that the team has built in the chassis…and they are both very different from an under powered engine that is just designed for a single team… and they both have built a vibration system that is very different from every single team. Notice how they are the only ones who have the issue
I'm sure I can remember Murray Walker telling a story about Gerhard Berger and Ayrton Senna sharing a helicopter ride, and Gerhard picking up Ayrton's briefcase, saying "Is this yours Ayrton?" - and then throwing it out of the window. I always thought, assuming old Murray's story was correct, that would have only counted as a practical joke IF Gerhard had switched Senna's case with a dummy one before hand. If, on the other hand, he literally threw his team mate's case out of the window, then he was just being a bit of a d***! But I don't think he was. Anyway, I'm really enjoying this new podcast, thanks to the whole team.
Yeah I agree Naomi. I've not been negative or positive because I have no f-ing clue what will happen when the lights go out. We'll see what happens on Sunday ps. Yo Buxton, what's with the fishbowl camera lens in that laptop? 🤣
I am just responding to the title: F1 also never had such a massive rule book in its entire history and never required managing thousands of people to develop a car.
Well. Many ‘fans’ hate the new rules simply because drivers like Max, Lewis and Fernando are against them. ‘It must be bad because Max doesn't like it. We're all screwed...’ Personally, I don't care in the slightest about the feelings of the drivers and their fans. I've been following F1 since before Max, Lewis or Fernando even drove in F1. To be precise, even before Max was born...
@benn87what is your point? That only your opinion is valid? People dont like the rules because max does not like it? Watching since 86. I can make up my own mind. For that i dont need a celebrity, must be a shocker for you, so sorry to disappoint you!
DC Come on the cars are about Managing the Battery along with other systems where the Car can’t Race flat out it’s not the Pinnacle of Racing anymore but let’s see props for trying so hard to convince us all 🤣🔥
i think cadillac is about to surprise everyone, but only for this race, because of driver's experience will matter on tricky cars and race, i see one cadillac in the top 5 or 2 cadillac in the top 10.
Honda will get concessions to develope the power unit. So they get extra on the cap. Unfortunetly the'll be so far out of contention, we'll need binoculars to find them at the back. They'll take bets on how many laps down they'll be.
I'm surprised that everyone on this episode has fully accepted that engine performance is the deciding factor for this year. I accept that at the start of the season it is likely that the engine is probably the most important, but nobody is arguing that for instance later in the year the drivers who understand the rules best have an advantage or that later in the year McLaren can become better than Mercedes.... I have a feeling that a lot of reporters are going to regret focusing so much on the engine. To me at least testing showed that at least with race pace the differences are not that big, and that tells me that other aspects than the engine are going to be important when evaluating the performance of the team and drivers.
It is so good to see a great team filled with information and easy on the eye rather having that dreadful Croft filling the screen . And as a South African , we claim the gorgeous Naomi as one of ours !
being funny is not something i value much. because you'll always laugh at someones's joke when you appreciate his company, while you will prevent yourself to laught in the reverse case. so it's more someone who makes you feel confortable and respected. i don't know drivers that well but i would say antonelli is quite human. he always care about others, he's affected by the toxicity of internet. probably a bit introvert, but doesn't mean he won't be a pleasant company if you give him some respect too.
Past performance in some respects can be considered during a major regulation change I believe, as it's an indicator of how well a team gels and works together, and how quickly they can develop through a season, we're talking about the same McLaren team that came from near back of the grid only a few seasons ago and transformed into a championship winning team, I personally think that puts them in with a good shot for this year, they've already proven they can beat Mercedes with the same engine....
“WHO WOULD HAVE HIM” WOW!!! I like the true facts coming out in your podcasts!! Thank you
RIght!!! say it like it is. Love this level of non B.S. it's refreshing to hear the truth, without being ruthless, and not just FOM spin!
Lets enjoy before it becomes mega corporate, sucking all the fun out of it
This was a let's-dunk-on-Stroll party, dayum...
He is a rubbish driver and only kept because of Daddy!! He is better suited as a stand in for Shrek as he is a spitting image 😉
He does not have the talent to drive the Flintstones' car let alone an F1 car. Him and his daddy had their chance now it's time for at least junior to bugger off and make room for actual talent.
Even if Lada entered F1 (with a car weighting twice the amount as all the others and a 50hp engine 😂) they wouldn't take Stroll as a driver even if he offered them 50million Daddy Dollars!
Best thing Will ever said ! Bertha Bends !
Will Buxton picking Hamilton over Leclare for the win😂😂😂
Valteri is a good call. Also Colapinto is really funny, when Flavio isnt bullying him.
I'm here for DC and DC's honesty. I'm loving it.
Big Respects to Annie Bradshaw ... Legend of F1
Here for Naomi!!
Appreciate her giving back to her fans this episode 😍
12:05 Fire the one that said we want to see a clear 1 and 2 drivers in McLaren 😂😂
31:11 How have I not heard of Bertha Benz until now, and why isn't there a high profile film about this?! 😮 Wicked knowledge drop from Buxton there.
I dare say Sabine Schmidt would be my overwhelming choice. Rest in peace dear lady! I would have loved a trip around the 'ring with her!
watcing her on Top Gear taking the Van around the Ring, and kicking ass was so cool. Sabine was a class act!
Uh oh I might be crushing on Naomi. She’s been a good pundit before, but on this new pod she looks great, knows wheel, and has been dropping good takes. I’m impressed. This pod has a great combo of personalities, this is going to take off. Nice work squad 👍
Lovely to hear a shout out of Bertha. She's under appreciated. True pioneer. Great podcast.
Funniest driver is Raikkonen hands-down. Deadpan king. Hakkinen had that too, so maybe its a Finnish thing?
Honda is not just the issue. You need to look at the packaging of the power train and particularly the location of the MGU-K which can be mounted anywhere under the curent regulation. Honda chose to locate this next to the battery in order to aid aerodynamic packing. In all likelihood, this will have been at the behest of Adrian Newey, who places aero above all else...
7:10 Bruh 😂😂😂
> historically, no Australian driver had good races in Melbourne
> these experts: Oscar podium
Hope Oscar does well (this entire season), tho, as I feel like if Ferrari don't win this year, the universe should help Oscar get some proper vindication for last year.
Why are you guys surprised about people more interested in the wedding? They’re not racing fans; they're Netflix fans. The last thing that they want to know about is cars, points, tracks, race strategies.
Will was a Savage for that "no, we said funny" re: lance.
And brilliant answer for Bertha. 👏🏿👏🏿
7:08 DC does not F around 😂
Love the 4 of you on this pod!! Great dynamic between all!
Naomi that "Mariah Car-ay" originally is from an Unboxxed with Carlos and Lando - a Christmas special :)
Aston Martini, shaken not stirred.
Not to be a Honda apologist but there seems to be issues with Aston gearbox and also how the engine is integrated with the car. The testing issues were apparently due to excessive vibrations causing an issue with battery. We should probably wait for more information before we make Honda into punching bags?
I agree. I would be very surprised if Honda didn't notice that the engine vibrated excessively when run on a bench. Surely must be a confluence of factors.
Agreed, I think people are upset about Alonso not getting any luck again x
MGU-K not gearbox
Rumor is Newey's asks of low positioning of the MGU-K too close to the battery and not strengthening the chassis when Honda brought up the vibration issue. So it's definitely not all a Honda thing from what I've heard
@sauldula
There is a fixed geared transfercase between the crankshaft and the MGU-K. This also is being called a gearbox. The AMR build gearbox (ICE=> drive wheels) sounded horribly when shifting.
Let’s just agree that it’s stolls fault like usual 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂only a joke
22:00 It is, and will always be, Gerhard Berger.
Great pod guys
The ruthless DC is oh so definitely back!!
This was a great podcast, thank you all. Not too much hype, some news and some excellent talk about women in our sport. Thanks especially to Will for mentioning Bertha Benz. She is, as Will said, the mother of motoring. She started it all. Without her we would live in a very different world.
Can’t wait to watch Max dunk on everyone sleeping on him being competitive
Lando and carlos did the christmas episode where he said Maria carry
dammit guys I have sh*t to do and here I am.....watching Up To Speed lol (procastinate much) Cheers from California 🤙🏾✨
23:06 I know what your on about Naomi it’s okay 😂 It’s one of my fav Sainz moments
Stroll is getting absolutely cooked 😂
Love this show!!!!
DC definitely had a little drinky drink before recording this XD
I absolutely love this podcast, you’re all doing a great job. Just facts and honest content. Love it.
I love this show.. and everyone on it fits perfectly
Max character and temperament makes me laugh ! Especially on radio !
Love the show!! But can you please add links of the clips you speak about and save us the search!
I give them glorious 7 years
Guys to elevate the pod, please include pictures of some people you talk about and when you mentioned some of the pranks...show us, well done great pod 😊😊 🎉🎉😊😊
This is now the no1 F1 podcast
I enjoyed DC and EJ FFS podcast
Happy you regrouped with this 🏎️🏁👍🏻
Büüü-Hüü - Scot Manley talking ?!
DC you mentioned Ann Bradshaw I remember Ann very well back in the early 1970s when I was racing Ann was working for the BRSCC we would have to sign in as a driver she was always so lovely and had that big smile for all of us . Thanks for that memory .
This has become my go to Podcast! Look forward to every episode and I’m loving all the presenters .. the fact that each one of them brings something different to the table. Especially love Jolie’s fun vibe
Thissss!!!
thank you!
@uptospeedshowstop with the garbage intros. That works when youre showing highlights not when its people speaking. We already clicked the video we aren't going to stop watching because its a podcast like we expected
I thought for a second this was a reaction Video to a F1 podcast. 😅

Surprised Honda failed so spectacularly
The first car was an American electric one, the first petrol car was Benz
Kimmi Raikkonen was so funny!!!🤣 😅
Love this podcast it’s the thing I look forward to at the end of a long day of uni classes or work
💙
😂😬
Funniest- Yes Max!! Yesss Bottas!! Dry senses of humour and quick wit 🤣
1. Lewis 2. George 3. Max
YES I am delulu let me live in my own bubble xD It's going to pop in the race anyway xD
Naomi ❤
On the subject of pranks, surely Raikonnen vs Priestley & McLaren has to be discussed.......
"BOHOO to the multi-millionare racing drivers who complain.....go figure it out!! " - exactly us mundane fans thoughts. Love you DC - the real one
Well. Many ‘fans’ hate the new rules simply because drivers like Max, Lewis and Fernando are against them. ‘It must be bad because Max doesn't like it. We're all screwed...’
Personally, I don't care in the slightest about the feelings of the drivers and their fans. I've been following F1 since before Max, Lewis or Fernando even drove in F1. To be precise, even before Max was born...
@benn87what is your point? That only your opinion is valid?
People dont like the rules because max does not like it? Watching since 86.
I can make up my own mind.
For that i dont need a celebrity, must be a shocker for you, so sorry to disappoint you!
@benn87max warned multiple years ago that this ruleset will be shit. They could have taken action but the worst engine spec remained.
@benn87cool
I can’t wait too see how all the cars run
“Keep it light “😂💀 You’ve painted a target already 🤣 Never ask for mercy with pranksters 🫡
Don’t give me hope Will Buxton!!!!!
10:41 “the two big engine manufacturers”….(Honda dominating that field by a mile for years since what…2020?)
Brits choosing a Brit to win? What a surprise. I agree with DC.
DC Come on the cars are about Managing the Battery along with other systems where the Car can’t Race flat out it’s not the Pinnacle of Racing anymore but let’s see props for trying so hard to convince us all 🤣🔥
Funniest Episode so far - but give Lance some slack 😭
DC was very based in this podcast, damn.
i think cadillac is about to surprise everyone, but only for this race, because of driver's experience will matter on tricky cars and race, i see one cadillac in the top 5 or 2 cadillac in the top 10.
in some countries, honda doesn't allow its cars to be used as taxi for it degrades honda's image
that's how honda regards itself
Honda will get concessions to develope the power unit. So they get extra on the cap. Unfortunetly the'll be so far out of contention, we'll need binoculars to find them at the back. They'll take bets on how many laps down they'll be.
Naomi is looking flyyyyyy! ❤
DC have you had a wee dram? 😊
So there’s 2 drivers, a legendary F1 journalist and who’s the social media lady?🙄
could we please cease & desist with the snippet-filled -intro?
I'm surprised that everyone on this episode has fully accepted that engine performance is the deciding factor for this year. I accept that at the start of the season it is likely that the engine is probably the most important, but nobody is arguing that for instance later in the year the drivers who understand the rules best have an advantage or that later in the year McLaren can become better than Mercedes....

If Oscar hah had a stronger end to the season would Jolie be proposing that Lando should be the no. 2 driver? 🤔
Blowing up Peugeots in McLaren also is an example of a disaster engine. 1994 season.
Christian Horner will be offered a huge package if he can pull this off.
he offered his package and there were no takers
1-george..2-Antonelli.3-piastri
24 times this season, Ferrari Will celebrate dodging the Newey bullet! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎂👍🏻
Race prediction 1st Max 2nd Lewis 3rd Lando. PS I am a Williams supporter 😅
Alpine to suprise
Everyone’s happy to throw Honda under the bus, but the fact remains, Newey is the team principal. The buck stops with him.
David, you're "...done with speculation..."!! That's all your entire show is....SPECULATION!!! What are you talkin' about?!??!?
Love the show yall! Cheers from Texas my fiancé and watch every episode
thank you!
I'll take this over Damon Hill crying any day.
Awww
do famous formula 1 quotes...
After all this hype, imagine if that Mercedes car comes up short. I also have a feeling McLaren is being underestimated a bit.
Piastri needs to show he’s better this year. Who cares about the friendship. That’s just PR
Max is by far the funniest dudes on the grid.
Danny Ric is mainstream/hillbilly funny and therefor some of us don’t find him that funny at all.
It is so good to see a great team filled with information and easy on the eye rather having that dreadful Croft filling the screen . And as a South African , we claim the gorgeous Naomi as one of ours !
Nice to see that you all think so highly of Lance Stroll! 😀
The 107% was on the fastest Q1 time if I'm not mistaken. Also is it the engine causing the vibrations or the chassis?
merzedíz - meklerín
DC saying what everyone knows… lol … who would have him!!!!
being funny is not something i value much. because you'll always laugh at someones's joke when you appreciate his company, while you will prevent yourself to laught in the reverse case. so it's more someone who makes you feel confortable and respected. i don't know drivers that well but i would say antonelli is quite human. he always care about others, he's affected by the toxicity of internet. probably a bit introvert, but doesn't mean he won't be a pleasant company if you give him some respect too.

Picking Oscar to win this weekend. This is George or Charles year to lose…
Who cares about photos and weddings? F1 is the subject!
I go with Wills predictions - Faith in Lewis !!!
It’s nauseating
Energy management, regen...ugh!
