Ted KravitzHOST
Your first look inside the Madrid paddock and pit lane here in Madrid, Spain.
Ted KravitzHOST
Bernie Collins and David Croft-
David CroftHOST
Hello
Ted KravitzHOST
... are your tour guides along with me for this show.
Martin SmithHOST
So they all have I And I just said here, I'm losing my liking for Michael Cole.
Martin SmithHOST
He is just so over the top, like in Formula One with David Croft on commentary, where he gets so excited and so absolutely dramatic about something that doesn't even look even like it's going to actually do a thing.
Martin SmithHOST
He's just forcing everything, and it sounds so very desperate.
Martin SmithHOST
And that is how Michael Cole sounded in this main event to me.
Michael LamonatoHOST
[laughs]
Rob JamesHOST
He just decided to pop in with Crofty and Martin Brundle-
Michael LamonatoHOST
Yeah
Rob JamesHOST
... and have a yak about, uh, the rule book for ... 'Cause for him they're very important.
Simon LazenbyHOST
if the viewers are listening, because they won't see it.
Simon LazenbyHOST
Do you see what I mean? It depends on what format we're doing this, but suffice to say that Crofty's looking resplendent again, and so too is Caroon.
Karun ChandhokGUEST
I've gone for Monza 79.
Simon LazenbyHOST
kushav you see you're always you're always on message you're always on point that's all rock and

Simon LazenbyHOST
But it's about those that transcend the sport, isn't it? And if you think about the last three generational talents, you're thinking Lewis, you're thinking Max, and now you're thinking Kimi.
Simon LazenbyHOST
I think we can now... quite rightly say he is that generational talent.
Simon LazenbyHOST
I was actually just looking back, though, if you sort of compare his career trajectory to that of the last one in Max Verstappen-Crofty, we all remember, of course, when he came into the sport and he was, you know, the youngest ever, 16, when he made his debut for Toro Rosso in Australia.
Simon LazenbyHOST
And then he gets into the Red Bull Barcelona 2016.
Sean KennedyHOST
we actually saw that live on TV, the car coming up to us.
Sean KennedyHOST
And it was long after Crofty and Brundle had said he's OK.
MaireadPANELIST
So long, so long.
MaireadPANELIST
And the track marshals are there.
ToddHOST
that he said was broken.
ToddHOST
And I think Crofty on Skies said that when they talked to him or Martin talked to one of the engineers, they said they don't see anything in the data or the telemetry, but it's something Max is certainly feeling.
ToddHOST
He said that it persisted from Saturday, and he called it sort of car degradation where certain rear components are just deteriorating during a session, and that's what he was feeling.
ToddHOST
So not sure what that was.
SamHOST
I don't even agree with everything he said during this red flag thing, but he said two things that were just amazing.
SamHOST
He fought with Crofty and he fought with Brundle.
SamHOST
Ooh, okay.
SamHOST
So with Crofty, they were saying that Colapinto was able to pass Piastri right after that wreck.
SamHOST
And what he did was is he used up the rest of his battery to get past Piastri.
SamHOST
And then the safety car came out.
SamHOST
And so he held his position because he knew he didn't need the battery.
SamHOST
So Crofty puts this to Rosberg, tells him the story.
JadenHOST
yeah, that's right, oh, so he, you know, he probably knew a penalty was coming his way, so he just thought, you know what, let me just lock up anyway, oh, man, but it was just chaos, and then, yeah, seeing Gasly cross the line in first, I'll never forget that.
JadenHOST
The commentary, Crofty just losing his mind.
JadenHOST
I was losing my mind.
JadenHOST
I stood up off my couch because I didn't go out on Saturday.
6 MINS LATER
JadenHOST
So I knew it was probably, yeah, that's when you knew it was a big hit because the tyre wall must have been catastrophically damaged so they had to repair it took a long time as well so we're just we're just we just keep watching the replay of the start like how many times do we need to say the replay at the start here's something for formula one to do when when it's a red flag and we don't get me wrong show the replays don't loop them but let's have a little trivia let's do like a I don't know, like a who wants to be a millionaire sort of thing.
JadenHOST
Like when it's just cameras panning around the track or drivers in the garage looking at data, it's still a little trivia.
JadenHOST
Can you imagine Crofty and Martin Brundle? In 2008, who won the Drivers' World Championship? Was it A, Lewis Hamilton, B, Felipe Massa, C, Kimi Räikkönen, or D, Fernando Alonso? And if you know Formula One, you'd pick A, which is Lewis Hamilton.
JadenHOST
But that would be cool.
Matt JacksonHOST
I'd quickly talk to the TV and that.
Matt JacksonHOST
Crofty today, like...
Matt JacksonHOST
I don't understand.
Matt JacksonHOST
He was doing the, you know, the drivers at the beginning and he was like, oh, in P11, it's Lance Stroll, but he was in P18.
HannahHOST
And Max is doing a good job of
ZoeHOST
