PATREON EXCLUSIVE: Singapore Sprint + Quali Recap!

Matt Elisofon (0:00)

It's called a sprint race, bitches, sprint race.

Brian Muller (0:06)

That's right.

Matt Elisofon (0:06)

Fucking pussies, get on my fucking level.

Brian Muller (0:10)

Spell that out for me. Spell it.

S-P-R-I-N-T-R-A-C-E, okay? Hey, Matt, I don't know if you know this, but if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver, okay?

Matt Elisofon (0:31)

Ayrton Senna by way of Lando Norris. It's like the Michael Scott where he's like, you miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take, Wayne Gretzky, Michael Scott.

It's like his quote now. That's right.

Brian Muller (0:50)

That's right. Hell yeah. Papaya rules, baby, strikes again. Just when we thought we were done with it, and just when it really didn't even matter.

Matt Elisofon (1:03)

Yep.

Brian Muller (1:04)

When it mattered the least, and they were the most irrelevant they could ever be.

Matt Elisofon (1:10)

Yes. When the stakes couldn't be lower.

Brian Muller (1:16)

That's right. That's right.

Matt Elisofon (1:17)

When all you gotta do is just bank maximum points for the team.

Brian Muller (1:23)

Yeah.

Matt Elisofon (1:24)

Like, literally, first of all, you got them in the Drivers' Championship. Like, there's nothing.

All you're doing at this point is you're... So, like, what is the... Let's look up the Constructors' Championship. Where are we at in the Constructors' Championship?

Brian Muller (1:38)

The Constructors' Championship, McLaren's at 317, Ferrari's at 418, but Red Bull's sniffing their ass at 306 So they're just holding... They're just attempting to hold on to third place.

Matt Elisofon (1:48)

What are you doing? Yeah, it's crazy. Like, all you have to do now is just try to hold on to third place, and you're gonna blow it.

They've lost it.

Brian Muller (2:01)

And here's the... And you know what holding on to third place does?

It gives your lovely mechanics a bonus.

Matt Elisofon (2:09)

Yes.

Brian Muller (2:11)

It's not about the team getting money for further development. It's like, hey, all the guys that fucking, like, you know, work their ass off for you, if you hold on to third place, they get an extra $10,000, okay?

Matt Elisofon (2:26)

Yeah. Yep.

Brian Muller (2:29)

But no, dude. He wanted his glory. He wanted his glory to get fifth in the fucking sprint race.

Matt Elisofon (2:39)

I don't know why you're piling on to him so bad. He had a gap, and it's called a sprint race.

Brian Muller (2:48)

No, no, no, no, no. It's called a sprint race.

Matt Elisofon (2:50)

It's called a sprint race.

Brian Muller (2:52)

Yes.

Matt Elisofon (2:52)

Apparently, it's actually just called a sprint. People were correcting him in the commentaries. There's no race.

Because they want to differentiate it. So like, if you actually look at all of the messaging and all the titling, it's never actually called a sprint race. That's a misnomer.

Brian Muller (3:13)

So you're saying they beat Lando Norris on a technicality.

Matt Elisofon (3:16)

That's right. Hell yeah. That's what legends do. And I'm also saying that people should stop being so hard on Lando Norris because he's doing a better job than anyone else.

SPEAKER_3 (3:29)

He's the best driver in Formula 1

Matt Elisofon (3:30)

He's the best driver in Formula 1 right now.

Brian Muller (3:33)

It's definitely not Max Verstappen, that's for sure.

Matt Elisofon (3:35)

It's definitely not Max Verstappen right now. It's definitely not Kimmy Antonelli. Kimmy Antonelli has been-

Brian Muller (3:41)

Kind of looking like Trash.

Matt Elisofon (3:42)

He's kind of looking like shit.

Brian Muller (3:44)

Well, it's like they brought in these new upgrades. So I went out on a limb and said he's going to win this race or not a limb. I was like, he's won the most races this year, he's going to win this race. They brought a bunch of upgrades. Let's see what the Mercedes, clearly they're going to be good there. Nope, they trash. George Russell on the old spec, better than him.

But I also, when we made our prediction, I didn't know that George Russell was taking a 40 place grid penalty, so I had him on my podium, like a fucking idiot.

But-

Matt Elisofon (4:19)

I think this is a weird track.

Malaysia, bit of a different track. I think in these less conventional, just power-dependent tracks.

Brian Muller (4:35)

Well, Malaysia, I think, is more trad. I mean, it has changing, like the rain throws some shit into the- but Malaysia is like a trad track.

Matt Elisofon (4:46)

Right. But I guess my point was with the rain, it wasn't the conventional, like who's got the bigger engine. It's more of a skill.
