**Matt** (1:12)
Go to hell, anchors. Everybody, go to hell. I am so pissed off right now.
I quit. I hope you guys enjoy this one because it's my last episode ever. So listen up, because I won't be doing this shit again.

**Brian** (1:32)
Yeah, this is Matt's final broadcast. It was fun while we had him, but you know, the Papaya Rules came, the Papaya Rules went, the Papaya Rules conquered, and what a Lando Norris victory this was.

**Matt** (1:48)
I feel like we were in a time machine, transported back into 2025 No one can pass each other. Clean air is king. Mclaren is doing their Papaya Rules stuff. Lando's blowing starts.
Oscar's getting fucking screwed.
It was a 2025 maester place. Max is pulling P2s out of his ass, screwing up everything for everybody. I mean, yeah, it's also interesting, for those of you who are saying the old regs are so much better, this is a 2025 classic, like nobody can pass each other. So it's not like the old days were so much better. We had a good race because we had an interesting teammate dynamic, and Carlos Sainz is a fucking moron.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:46)
Well, Carlos Sainz...

**Matt** (2:48)
To go down... Carlos Sainz, for the first time in his life, decided to have three fucking brain cells. I've never seen him be a dumbass in my entire life until today.

**Brian** (2:59)
Well, Carlos Sainz thought it was 2025 as well, and he was like, well, surely those blue flags aren't for me because I still drive for Ferrari.

**Matt** (3:08)
Because I'm a main character. I, Carlos Sainz, I'm a main character. No, bitch, you're on Williams now, you're an NPC. You're a fucking MPC, bro.
God damn it.

**Brian** (3:22)
Yeah, dude, you're barely better than Aston Martin.

**Matt** (3:26)
No, they're not better than Aston Martin.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:28)
They're not even better than Aston Martin. They're simply not.

**Matt** (3:30)
Aston Martin has caught that.

**Brian** (3:32)
That's right, Fernando Alonso P14 today.

**Matt** (3:34)
That's right!

**SPEAKER_6** (3:35)
That's right.

**Matt** (3:36)
Say goodbye to your occasional point. Those belong to Slytherin and the Dark Lord now.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:43)
Voldemort has risen.

**Matt** (3:46)
We said this on the Patreon. You guys need to subscribe to Patreon because we got money problems, I believe it or not. But the thing is, yeah, we said this on the Patreon, Alonzo, he's not all the way back. Voldemort is not all the way back, it's book one. Remember when the professor gets the Dark Arts, he pulls his turban back and you see Voldemort's head?
He's getting there. That's right. Voldemort's getting there, okay?

**SPEAKER_9** (4:18)
He's getting stronger.

**Matt** (4:24)
So long to your fucking free trips into Q2, Carlos Sainz. Damn shits is over.
Damn shits is over. And they haven't even gotten to Honda, they haven't even gotten their new power unit in.

**Brian** (4:37)
That's right.

**Matt** (4:38)
Wait, the Williams is so fucked. But we're getting ahead of ourselves.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:42)
Brian, don't you have to do something?

**Brian** (4:44)
That's right. Well, we've got so much to discuss on this episode of The Red Flags, part of the Vox Media Network, but a little bit of housekeeping before we get there. First off, make sure that you're subscribed wherever you are listening. And babies, our book is coming out. We've got some readers copies. They will be hardcover, but these are a little soft cover right now. It's a full book, okay? It's a full book with beautiful, beautiful illustrations. Look, it's Max Verstappen. I mean, this is going to be the best book in the Formula 1 world. Formula 101 for F1 fans who love the drama. Pre-order right now because pre-orders get us on to best seller lists. And it would be nice to be on the best seller list because we've got some financial troubles right now, but we're not going to get into that. We're going to get into the Hungarian Grand Prix.
