Grand Slam

Masterclass in oral farming.

I wanted to go back on the point on Grand Slams.

Because I did know that it was Grand Slam by George and a very impressive weekend by him.

Almost wasn't.

0.1 seconds and it wouldn't have been.

But it was.

I was just looking actually when we had the last Grand Slams in Formula 1.

And we've had quite a few of them coming recently.

They're now on eight apiece.

First Grand Slam, as you mentioned there, with all of those accolades.

then also takes pole position by the biggest margin in the drive since these qualifying regulations were brought in back in 2006.

Not only Hamilton or Verstappen have done more than that, it was in wet conditions.

And also has

the fun statistic of every time he's on the podium, the

driver that wins gets a Grand Slam and Norris DNFs.

Yeah, which is so weird.

discuss it all, Rob.

And don't forget Grand Slam of George.

And the Grand Slam.

He's had not much to cheer

about.

And it was poor this year at some races.

It was very poor considering your less experienced teammates.

is kicking your ass basically week in week out so the before the balance shifts within the team the focus is on kimmy uh even on social media the whole team is really focused on kimmy and it looked like george yeah was walking around you know with the still between his legs and like i need to do something and he came back with a with a bang i mean to get a grand slam not many drivers can say that in formula one exactly um i thought i'd always thought the grand slam was hitting the wall really hard So I had a few.

He's never been that good.

He did a grand slam.

It's the first time he's ever led a race start to finish, and he got a grand slam.

So first ever grand slam as well.

What's a grand slam again?

Grand slam is pole position, led 100% of the laps, fastest lap, and the race win.

Yep.

That's a weekend.

And not only a win...

It was an imperious weekend all around, a grand slam, I believe.

Now he's 66 points, but back in the, or 66 points is now the gap between him and teammate Kimi Antonelli.

He had a bit of a shocker of a weekend by comparison, but let's talk Russell.

We'll move on from Azerbaijan now and do driver of the day.

So the grid talk official driver of the day was George Russell, race winner, Grand Slam.

You know, not often I think we've given George that award this year, but he got that.

for that safety car, he's slapping it 20 seconds.

Grand Slam, man.

Yeah, you got a Grand Slam in there, so you got to respect it.

Anyone that gets a Grand Slam, you got to respect it, bro.

Is he back? Malaysia will give us the answers, bro.

Because it could be just, you know, a little purple patch where it sits there, but if he's on madness, if he's on lunacy, call Malaysia.

It's his eighth Grand Prix win, but it's the first time that he's started on pole, led every lap, won.

He almost completed the full weekend Grand Slam in that he was fastest in FP1 and FP2.

He was beaten to the top of FP3 by, I think it was 0.099 seconds that he wasn't the fastest in FP3.

And if that hadn't happened, he would have led all three practice sessions, qualified on pole, started first led every lap and won no one has done that since lewis hamilton in 2015 wow so you know it's it's not going to win you any extra points but you know being the first person to achieve that in more than a decade that would have been and and you know even even though he didn't quite achieve that it was a very very impressive performance from george at the weekend
