Yes please guys. I know you are 18-20 hours behind me in Melbourne and you have to make them but I don’t get them till Thursday night, Friday morning. Please put them out Tuesday like everyone else. I look forward to yours the most and it’s always the last one to be released 🤯💥👀💯👍🏼😜
Why do they use 5 engine while my car (if I had one) will have 1 engine for eternity. I wanna know how do these F1 engines differ from regular hybrid engine
@@benderunit44 lot's of factors, but I think the main reason is that your driving your imaginary car below 3K RPM majority of the time, meanwhile F1 cars are running at 15K RPM max limit of the engine for about 80% - 90% during the race and qualifying.
I'm pissed! None of my mates told me about this channel and I've missed all the fun. On the bright side, I can binge-listen to all the earlier episodes. 👍 Always loved your contributions to F1 Guenther. Never change.
I like the podcast with Guenther. It's like pundit explaining to novice. It's giving an idiots guide to F1 and I love it. The way he explained the underweight was very clear and it makes me think Mercedes are running GR car very close to limit, I wonder if LH car has larger safety margin to the minimum.
Another point Guenther made is that nearly all the cars are underweight, then they add the necessary ballast. I believe George's side of the garage simply forget to adjust the ballast when they changed the floor on Friday night: Lewis' side didn't. Mercedes made no appeal, and the tires/one-stop thing is a bit of a red herring.
@@RabidJohn I think GR car is running very close to the minimum and the team did not cater for 1 stop tyre wear in the weight calculations, knowing this the team should have denied GR request for a one stop. I think they didn't appeal because they knew they were wrong with the weight and additionally not draining all the fuel in the car was a cheating attempt to make weight.
The fact Guenther just says hi with "Hello Wankers" gives me a massive going to the blokes kind of vibe. Its exactly what I expected of Guenther. Also why did none of you all tell me he was on here?! Liked and subscribed =)
Ngl I agree with Gunther that I never realized in the case of Checo being released from RB he could be a great Alpine driver, I think his recent failure is more due to the pressure.
I feel like he's shooting himself on the foot and time is running out for him. He should be negotiating with Alpine or I reckon he'll be out of a seat for 2025.
@@billypilgrim1 I think his recent failures are more indicative of how bad the car has become. Max was always able to hustle a dog of a car. Checo is struggling more comparatively. Mark Weber and Seb often had fun trying to setup the RB, it can be a diva. They are now having some visible pace issues.
I love the enthusiasm, but there's a lot of stupid apart from Gunther!! George was DQ'd because the car failed the current regulation - end of story apart from understanding why. Lando started 4th not 3rd, before falling back. The start or restarts are key points of any race because the cars are closer than at any other point and there's less room for error
Jonathan Wheatley is Team Principal of Audi F1 as of Lunchtime in UK Thursday 1st August 👀💯👍🏼. My old school mate. He’s got me my Max signed visor s too. 3 of them to go with the Schumacher and Hamilton ones 👀💯👍🏼
Why is George a genius, when Lewis asked his team about doing a 1 stop they told him no.. come on guys... don't be Wankers, his team was too busy trying to be Lewis. Wanker of the year has got to be Christen Horner of Red Bull..the biggest wanker of them all.
@TheNorville2’King George actually is a genius. His IQ is very high, Einstein high and some actually. Watch the ‘High Performance’ podcast with him on RU-vid and then the one with Lando too. See the difference in intellect. Also Christian the wanker did one which is very good. Bit of a stupid cunt these days considering he’s a smart bloke too. And ‘Diary of a CEO’ on RU-vid with Christian also. Very good. Gunther is on ‘High Performance’ there are others too but I’ve not seen them yet. All my knowledge takes time to acquire so I’m constantly drip feeding while meandering through the Jungle of life, working and travelling the World to watch f1 and now taking my kids with me. 49 races in 24 countries and never done the US. Miami is on in 2027, when my daughter is 16. She’s dying to go to USA and I’m not taking her to LA. I digress. For a smart bloke Christian is making all the incorrect decisions for RedBull Racing right now and all year tbh. The implosion is in full swing, it started with Adrian, now today 1st Aug Jonathan Wheatley is going to be Team Principal at Audi F1. Half the team will follow him too. Watch. He’s an old school friend and we still catch up at Albert Park most years as I’ve lived in Melbourne since 1999. Perez is easy. That’s 100% financial reasons and even Liberty Media piped in to say please, keep Perez, we need to maintain revenue in Mexico this year. Fuck Perez, and fuck Mexico, we got Brazil and 3 in US. That’s enough. Not everyone in the Americas is a Perez fan or a RedBull drinker surely 🤬😤🤯💥😱. Maybe the implosion is all about Christian’s greed considering he was sneaking around trying to get a loan to buy out the Thai family that own the 51%. Max is gone to Mercedes, he’s not going down with Christian and the ship either. It’s all great in the racing of f1 now, it’s perfect the competition, but Liberty Media and people like Christian and MBS (Mo Bin Salem) of the FIAsco are bringing the sport into disrepute and turning it into a profitable company for them to share the cash generated which is Billions now. 25 races next year. Alternating Spa and Zandvoort WTF. Spa, Silverstone and Monza are must have races. Lose Monaco 1st. It’s shit, it’s not racing. Charles just led a precession in his back yard for an hour and 45mins. Give me Jeddah and Doha any day. 2026 I’m back to Sepang, KL, Malaysia, the best of the best in every conceivable way from track layout, to people to cost and not to mention the best single viewing spot on the planet to watch, view an f1 race live. Utterly spectacular and thanks Mercedes Benz AMG Petronas Formula One Team for financing it and bringing it back to the Calendar. We can thank the budget cap for that I suppose. They have to spend their prize money. But Liberty could make tickets cheaper. Australia, Malaysia the two most affordable and European tickets are ok, Bahrain, Qatar and Abu Dhabi ok, Suzuka reasonable but Silverstone this year and Miami, Vegas and even COTA ridiculous and not a patch on Interlagos at less than half the price but more than Australia and Malaysia. Singapore at $26500 for 5 days 2 People, me and my GF, it was the worst experience for the most money. Never again and I went in 2017 days after the last ever race in Sepang which I wasn’t gonna miss as it’s always been my favourite track and now my favourite place too. 93-94% view of the Circuit from my secret spot. I’m meeting all my f1 friends there in ‘26. Crapped on enough but watch the podcasts I mentioned and see ‘Genius George’ well ‘King George’ and Lame Lando. I used to admire Christian. Hahaha. What a wanker he’s bringing RedBull to it’s knees, maybe so he can buy it cheap 🤯💥😱👀💯 Enjoy the rest of the season. The battle between ‘King George’ and ‘Little Oscar’ will rival Senna vs Prost from ‘88-‘93 👀💯👍🏼🤯💥🧐
The issue is that people are idiots. Lewis has been saying since the w13 that Mercedes has been going in the wrong direction and that lead to a crappy car. The fact that he did as well as he did with the crappy car shows how great he is. George is no slouch either. But he was used to slugging it from the mud. Aka Williams.
@@PozzaPizz I understand and not calling him washed. But for the majority of the last decade he was the one that was winning or at least on the podium. Plus people are comparing him to George
just stumbled on to your channel. having missed netflix/drive survive it was a real treat to see guenther. enjoyable & informative. !:06 much appreciated. i'll be back.
9:39 is there actually any confirmation that the “lost” weight was just from George’s tries? Also not weighing the tires could incentivize teams to mess with the weight and structure of the tires
It’s was tyres plank and fuel. They took 2.8 ltr of fuel rather than the usual, that’s 1.8 kg, no cool down lap to pick up at least a kilo of marbles and going flat through Eau Rouge would have worn the plank more than RedBull who insisted on lifting to help stop compression between plank and track as known from 2022. 👀💯👍🏼
@@Andash75 fuel is always emptied and everyone knows that no cars do an in-lap at Spa. Plus Merc admitted there were no extenuating circumstances. Stop making excuses
The main problem in F1 has always been that Hamilton because everyone wants to see him retire but the guy doesn't want to give up and recently has started that hammer time business again
I am so confident that next year Luis will go to Ferrari and reinvigorate the team to become a winning team also he knows how to develop a car he has worked extensively on this Ground Effect era to get the wheelbarrow of Mercedes into a race winning car, he can definitely do it with Ferrari as well
Wrong conversation guys, it is not George that made the error, the error was made in the garage and the factory. George was trying to win on strategy as a driver, and that bit worked. His engineer did not factor this in. As for Audi attracting good F1 staff, at least in Switzerland, a majority of people speak english, compare this with italy where few speak english. This will be a real factor in someone uprooting their family to join Ferrari versus joining Audi. Family schooling and integration is real for these talented people. Lets not discount Bottas, he is very good if the equipment is good enough, he proved that with his time at Mercedes.
This is really shady because Fernando did 32 laps (2 laps less then George) and made the weigh just fine. Getting extra rubber from The cool down lap gets you an extra .5 kilograms at most. The only person to blame is George and his engineer because they prepare and anticipate these types of situations. Don't be fooled by this nonsense. I call the bluff
I dream of a season where the top 4 teams are in top form every weekend and we have a 4 way shootout for the championship. Of course none of the teams want that lol but this is the sport we come to watch
I think if Ferrari join the party it’ll be the best formula 1 competition in my 48 years. Usually someone dominates and a team are close and steal the odd race win. Each race we don’t know now who will win each race. Friday at Spa, Benz were nowhere and they got the 1-2 despite the DSQ of George which as I’ve stated was tyre weight, no marbles due to no slow down lap, extra wear on the plank from going flat through Eau Rouge and Radion and they took 2.8 Larson of fuel that an extra 1.8 over normal which itself was1.8 its, tyres were 1.5 and plank who knows but some way lighter than say the one on Max’s car cause since 2022 he doesn’t go flat through those because of the plank wear and risk of a DSQ. Formula 1 is as good as it gets except that Lando and Charles missed their chances and now it’s ‘King George’ vs ‘Little Oscar’ from now and with Lewis and Max but in 2025 it’s just the 2 of them to battle for the Championship and the odd steal from others but not 6-7 different winners, only 4 or 5 maximum. 👀💯👍🏼. Let’s enjoy this mega ‘Era’ of f1 we are witnessing right now. And everyone thought it was gonna be a repeat of 2023. Hahaha. That’s never been done to that level of excellence and won’t be done again in my lifetime, not to that degree. Who wins 19 from 23 races or 24 from 29 including Sprints. 10 in a row. McLaren lost one race in 1988 but that was from 16 races. RedBull won 27 from 29 in 2023. That’s not gonna be eclipsed ever. Let’s be thankful for f1 right now 🧐🤔🤯💥👀💯👍🏼
4:40 hahahaha. You Smartass love it, Guenther Steiner is 1 of the funniest people in F1 & yet his so smart as well. Yes the team he had was going crap at the time but i don't care his a great person, i hope he can get into f1 in a way he see's fit.
It wasn’t just the tyres the plank was also lower than normal and after the race even with pick up they can remove the pick up so wether or not they collected pick up doesn’t matter he was under weight
Sr. Don Carlos Sainz Vazquez de Castro, whose full name is much, much longer than than this, is going to Williams F1, because he has good reason that he's obviously not about to share with the media . . .
The win didn’t belong to GR in the first place. He got that so-called 'win' purely because of the one-stop strategy, which was finally proved to be wrong.
You would wear it down to the canvas and it would explode then you'd be on the rims which is about the most dangerous point. You can limp back to the pits on the rims, but you damage the suspension in the process, and possibly wear the strike plate off.
there's gotta be 2 wankers for this half of the season I totally agree with Sauber but CHECO COME ON! he starts the season meh and then starts his downfall and everyone is like "he's out, he's out!" and then redbull re-signs him, just for him to wreck the car the same week and miss q3 how many weeks in a row and then find himself right back on the way out, qualifies p2 and then Fs IT UP!! what a rollercoaster and a disaster class on how to lose your job
@@Andash75 if you can’t see it no point in me wasting my time explaining it to you he is disgusting for doing it and so are Mercedes for allowing it to happen but hey ho karma got him for it
Weighing "without" the tire would be easy - albeit more without the tire they drove on rather than no tire. Just have a set of tires for weighing and the FIA puts them on. So then you know the weight of everyone car minus the weigh in tires.
Agree with matt and brian here . Logic says just take off the tires and weigh. Reminds me when the NBA used to measure height with shoes. Some guys had an extra inch depending on the shoe they wore that day. 6'11 and 7 footer is a big difference. Finally logic set in and now they measure without shoes.
I think Audi and Aline should take a young driver. They both have an experienced driver and bottas being the best option isn’t inspiring. It would be a great opportunity to steal one of the quick young drivers that would undoubtedly break ties with Mercedes Ferrari and redbull programs to take their shot on the f1 grid.
I don't see Sergio being in F1 if he gets kicked out of Red Bull because you look at bottas and he doesn't have a seat yet that's the same guy who never missed Q3 when he was driving for Mercedes Sergio is nowhere close to bottas
I have the insider news. Here is what happened. They knew they will be under weight. They were betting they will not get the inspection. It was a gamble.
lol insane how only think about last race 😂 every other weekend yall want Lewis to jump ship then stay lol. Ferrari can win 1 race and be p2 in the chip. Now bcuz Merc wins think Lewis wouldn’t leave lol far deeper than just winning race. As to why he moving
Indeed. It’s been proven that Merc will never give Lewis a championship winning car in time to successfully challenge for his 8th title that will subsequently surpass Schumacher’s 7 titles.
Leave them to the f1, they are just getting started, they’ve been in thePaddock once, got Gunther, they are going places. With Visa CashApp they will be at Vegas this year and Miami COTA and a European race next year. Support them. You watch other sports or categories of motor sport. I watch WRC and Moto GP but never watch podcasts etc. Not enough time in life. I know everything about f1 and I’m happy with that. Let them learn and expand. They are good enough 👀💯👍🏼
Binotto starts on Aug 1st and appoints JW Team Principal by midday Aug 1st. Way to do business. Even though offer was on table since Feb and JW was waiting for Christian to get the arse. However, half of RedBull will go to Audi and the implosion of TedBull with Christian at the helm will be spectacular 🤣👀💯👍🏼
I'm sad for redbull man. They started as a joke almost in early 2000s and now it's falling apart because of big dumb egos and their weird behavior. Such a shame
Dude on the Top if everyone did a one stop and came in lighter Russel won't of come first if Hamilton did a one stop and came in lighter Russell won't of won dude on the top get it in your thick skull F1 is not NASCAR everything is precision 🤣🤣🤣
Nice podcast, but dear American friends, you obviously don’t get the weight thing…like Gunther says…don’t argue, you just don’t get it…USA like they say…🙄
What if Danny Ric goes to Alpine on a multi-year? New team principal should want someone good to make him look good, big hollywood owners will want a marketable charismatic driver. Plus a Renault reunion narrative puts eyes on driver and team.
Does Guenther really think RUS is a rockstar(that makes Guenther the Vanker!!!) he’s the biggest fool in F1 & that takes a lot to top previous drivers RUS really thinks he’s out performing SLH on merit not merc doing there best to give him the advantage Guenther will see how wrong he is nxt yr when Kimi or VER comes to the team & then he’ll get sacked for Kimi!!!RUS has 2yrs left at merc…if that!!!
Nobody can ever beat Günther in ultimate English accent when He swears! U Arrrrrch! 😂😂🤣🤣 Jokes aside...all though that is difficult with this podcast when Günther is on, I think there are to many regulations and to much BS, that F1 has lost the real spirit and soul of racing!!! Yeah sure.....it is the Pinnacle of motor sport, but it is getting Zzzzz watching. Racers like KMAG cause He races old school, gets BS penalties, sure it has become a few ounces better but not much.....I am thinking of dumping F1 and start watching IndyCar instead, cause there, there is still possibilities of real racing and not like in F1 just, as I would call it Woke racing! Russel loosing on F´ing tires totally sucks! WTF??? Yeah one tire change is okay, but after that it should be up to the teams to run until the end! PS!!! What is up with Günther and KMAG??? how come there is no support from Günther towards KMAG driving?? I mean after all the good points He brought to HAAS under Günthers leadership, is a bit weird!
@The_Real_bubbaz… I agree with most of what you say mate read my comment above under the reply to ‘Why is George a genius’ comment from I can’t remember. Let me know your thoughts please 👀💯👍🏼
