Craig SlaterCORRESPONDENT
So yeah, I, I, I don't...
Craig SlaterCORRESPONDENT
Will teams try and react to this in the last races? Probably not, and it's, it's, I suppose, incumbent that, that we get good racing between the Mercedes as much as anything else, and maybe George putting the heat on Kimi a little bit if he can.
Naomi SchiffGUEST
I think the most important thing for George is the momentum that he's caught up with, uh, with Kimi because at the beginning of the season, it was really looking like it wasn't going his way.
Naomi SchiffGUEST
He got in sort of a negative spiral of momentum where things just weren't going his way, and they didn't seem to be getting better.
Naomi SchiffGUEST
Zandvoort was already a great turn of performance, but Baku was just...
Naomi SchiffGUEST
It felt like he had the edge a- a- above the rest for the first time this season, really.
Naomi SchiffGUEST
Of course, there were mistakes made by Kimi, and Max didn't have a very straightforward qualifying session either.
Naomi SchiffGUEST
But all throughout the weekend, it just looked like Geo- [laughs] It just looked like George-
Jon NobleGUEST
And this was a very good column.
Jon NobleGUEST
Bad day for Kimi in terms of the recovery he got and the points he got by not driving hard.
Jon NobleGUEST
And Kimi actually talked at length about he absolutely hated it.
Jon NobleGUEST
He didn't like how he had to drive him back in.
Jon NobleGUEST
He said it reminded him of 12 months ago.
EricHOST
Let's see.
EricHOST
The starting order was Norris, Russell, Kimi, Piastri, Hammy, and Leclerc.
EricHOST
Perez starts from the pit.
EricHOST
Max is in the wall in lap two.
EricHOST
I mean, this was an incredible race.
EricHOST
Going from the suckiest race, the Dutch GP, to Monza was like, holy cow.
EricHOST
So on the starting grid, we had Gasly, Russell, Leclerc, Hammy, and Kimi starts last.
EricHOST
because he had a motor swap.
BenHOST
Well, and that's the thing, too, is
JamesHOST
that Ferrari finally got the Mercedes disaster from Kimi that they needed.
JamesHOST
Yeah.
JamesHOST
And still a Mercedes one.
24 MINS LATER
BenHOST
But even
JamesHOST
Oli Behrman.
JamesHOST
Oli Behrman, on paper, you wouldn't go, oh man, he's the next Kimi.
JamesHOST
He doesn't have the car to be the next Kimi.
JamesPANELIST
That's a good question.
JamesPANELIST
I think as a McLaren fan, 2003, Kimi Räikkönen winning his first race and that was sort of a new era of Formula One with Fernando Alonso coming into the sport and Bino rising up the sport as well.
JamesPANELIST
So, I'd say 2003, but honestly, this was always one that I absolutely loved.
JamesPANELIST
Thinking about 2007 when Hamilton came in as well and made the fries look silly.
46 MINS LATER
Sean KennedyHOST
James, who's getting the first poll in Malaysia since 2017?
JamesPANELIST
I'm going to go...
JamesPANELIST
Kimi's going to re-get some form back.
JamesPANELIST
I'm going to think Kimi's going to take pole.
EmilyHOST
Yeah, let's knock it out.
JosieHOST
Poor Kimi.
JosieHOST
This started, like, this pissed me off, like, right off the bat, to where I was like, "I'm kinda glad that I won't be able to watch the race." Crash out in quali, finished P5.
JosieHOST
I mean, of all the places, like, it could be worse.
JosieHOST
By a large margin, like 0.8 seconds.
EmilyHOST
Yeah.
EmilyHOST
[sighs] Well, good news is, is that Kimi was able to overcome his quali in the race, and he finished P5.
JosieHOST
Wait, where did he finish quali?
James HinchcliffeHOST
There was all these different explanations at various points in the season, whatever, whatever.
James HinchcliffeHOST
And it's like even when he would have like a potentially good weekend going, like Kimi would – he wins in Austria.
James HinchcliffeHOST
It's like, well, yeah, but that's because of this.
James HinchcliffeHOST
Or he did well here.
James HinchcliffeHOST
It's like, yeah, Kimi already passed you and then his car broke and that's why you beat him.
James HinchcliffeHOST
Yeah, Barcelona.
James HinchcliffeHOST
Yeah, exactly.
James HinchcliffeHOST
You own FP2.
Jawad YaqubHOST
It was an imperious weekend all around, a grand slam, I believe.
Jawad YaqubHOST
Now he's 66 points, but back in the, or 66 points is now the gap between him and teammate Kimi Antonelli.
Jawad YaqubHOST
He had a bit of a shocker of a weekend by comparison, but let's talk Russell.
Jawad YaqubHOST
Tom, big shot in the
Tom DowneyHOST
That's the only session he didn't top this weekend.
Tom DowneyHOST
So, yeah, it was...
Tom DowneyHOST
this is especially with Kimi having what happened in qualifying this is exactly what Russell needed to happen this is what should have happened in Monza but didn't and You know, I still think it's too little too late, but Russell has showed, or he showed on the weekend, exactly why he is in the conversations for World Champion and all the rest of it.
Tom DowneyHOST
Because when he hooked it up, as we saw, you know, he had to deal with two safety car restarts, both of which were very different.
Former LegendHOST
Well, let's just talk on qualifying.
Former LegendHOST
Like you said, biggest story out of qualifying was current points leader, Kimi Antonelli, walling it at turn one and not getting out of Q3, classified 16th.
Former LegendHOST
But then George Russell took his first pole position since June to beat Charles Leclerc by almost a full second.
Former LegendHOST
Oscar Piastri was third.
Former LegendHOST
It was a strong drive also, not only from Verstappen, but from teammate Isaac Hadjar, who we just said has returned back to racing after... a broken wrist.
Former LegendHOST
And, mate, is there a worse injury than a broken wrist, Davey, or when you've got three months left on your VPN? Charlotte Clare finished fourth.
Former LegendHOST
Kimi Antonelli was fifth, all the way from 16th.
Former LegendHOST
A massive drive.
Timo Albers-DalyHOST
So I sort of win either way.
Timo Albers-DalyHOST
So I've put Kimi Antonelli in for a win, Lewis Hamilton in the second, and Mixford Stafford in the third.
Timo Albers-DalyHOST
Lewis being a slight outlier there because he has a bit of a mixed history on him, but Max does very much like Baku.
Timo Albers-DalyHOST
He won here last year, obviously, and Kimi just seems a bit unstoppable at the moment.
Timo Albers-DalyHOST
So if it goes the way that most of the year's gone, then 20 points for me.
Jesse BillingtonHOST
Nice.
Jesse BillingtonHOST
I think it's going to be a bit of a jumbled race.
Jesse BillingtonHOST
He's going to benefit from some strategy because he'll have been working to essentially open up pit strategies for Max that will all of a sudden, because of chaos on track, let's say, give him an opportunity to move through the pack.
