Mutta kyllÀ, se on todella hyvÀ pointti, Neil. En ole koskaan saanut autonjohtajaa antaa meidÀt kÀyttÀmÀÀn sitÀ toimintaa. Se oli siellÀ, mutta he eivÀt ainoastaan anneet meidÀt kÀyttÀmÀÀn sitÀ toimintaa. Okei, mennÀÀn uudelleen. MinÀ menen suoraan Mr. Bentiagaan.
Koska hÀn on tÀmÀn voimakkaan. Ja haluan sitÀ, miten Nilsi vaikuttaa nimiin. Nimi on se, mitÀ se kertoo, ei se, mitÀ se kertoo. Kertoisitko meiltÀ, miten tuntuu tÀstÀ, Nilsi? Luulen, ettÀ se on dysleksia. Ja siksi...
It's fascinating. I think, much like the Spectrum chat we've all had sometimes off air, I think to some degree we're all slightly dyslexic. And that can happen when you're tired. As you become fatigued, I think some of this does creep in. You could be 100% functioning and be the most lucid, literate person ever. But you'll have moments where you'll misread something. You will. You just will. And car names are a bit of a banana skin. When Lamborghini launched the Murcielago,
Ajattelin, ettÀ jos joku kertoo minulle, miten sanoa sitÀ, niin en tiedÀ, miten sanoa sitÀ. Minulla ei ole työskentelyÀ, jossa puhutaan isojen nimistÀ. Minulla ei ole sitÀ mielestÀni. Joten joku pitÀisi kertoa minulle, miten sanoa sitÀ. Ja sitten he sanoisivat, ettÀ minun olisi vÀhÀn vÀÀrin. He sanoisivat, ettÀ murthilago. Ja minun pitÀisi tehdÀ se spaniallinen lispi. Mutta me emme puhu nÀin Bristolissa. Me emme.
I can't cope. There's a lot of it out there.
There's a lot of it out there, though. And I suppose, unless you're told, you're sort of given direction from the day these car companies appear, you're going to refer back to the inner voice in your head. It refers back to the young kid reading the car magazine. That was the difficulty for me, was that no one told you how to say these things. And until you went to an office where people dealt with them professionally, I realized when I went to Autocar for the first time that I was saying half these things wrong.
I really was. But then, how do you say Fasal Vega if you've never heard someone say it? It could be anything. It could be a Fisal Vega. I have no idea. And I think there's a whole load of this out there. And as it becomes more and more difficult to give a car a unique name, there were accents on cars. I remember someone saying, well, you've not acknowledged the accent. And I say, you've not acknowledged the secondary ride, you prick. But I don't
I just don't really... Yeah, numbers are really useful, because you can't get a number wrong, can you? That's right, that's true. I still think Benji... If you answer this one...
Miksi ettei sanoa sitÀ? Kun esittelet videon, olet kuitenkin yksi, jonka jÀlkeen on Zonda. Olet yrittÀnyt vÀlttÀmÀttÀ vÀlttÀmÀttÀ vÀlttÀmÀttÀ vÀlttÀmÀttÀ vÀlttÀmÀttÀ vÀlttÀmÀttÀ vÀlttÀmÀttÀ vÀlttÀmÀttÀ vÀlttÀmÀttÀ.
of all time was based around a woman whose surname was Bucket, who called herself Bouquet. You know, it's such a simple gag. And I think car makers are guilty of this self-aggrandisement sometimes, where they think, you know, I had no idea how you said Vanden Pla. I used to see this badge on the back of cars endlessly as a child. And all I could work out was it made the car look worse. And I didn't know how to say it. Was it Plas or Pla? It was Plas when we were growing up. You were brought up
Like M&S. Why did M&S have Saint-Michel written in their bloody clothes? Did I go to M&S or did I go to Saint-Michel? I've got no idea. Remember that? St. Michael. You'd write St. Michael in your clothes, but it was called Saint-Michel. It's all a bit Michael McIntyre, really. But I think, yeah, it's great. Yeah. Okay, let's move on to F1. Who watched it? Put your hands up.
TÀmÀ on mielenkiintoista. Vain minÀ ja Manish lausimme kÀsiÀ. En katsoa kaikkea. Katsoin noin 15 kertaa, koska minun piti mennÀ ja saada ruokaa.
what a potential reg change might be when you're just months into a new regime. It's a very strange thing, isn't it? Yeah. I've watched the most part of the race. I'm slightly struggling with my reaction to it, really. I feel guilty. I think I should like it more than I do, because...
basic level there's a lot more overtaking going on and I should want overtaking to be the ultimate representation of whether the sport's working or not but it makes me realize it's about much more than just overtaking because there are overtakes and there are overtakes and I think if you just watch motor racing and you see one car overtake another and then immediately overtake back again
I think it devalues the currency of the overtake, if I'm honest with you. And that's the bit that I struggle with. Because there's lots of overtaking going on, but it just sort of becomes the noise of the race. It doesn't feel... And this is really unfair, because some of those are very well thought out. They're chess players, they've worked it out eight times.
and I still think that's going on. But if all that clever chess play can be undone by some acronym in your car giving you a bit more oomph and then you sneak back past again, I'm not sure what it says about the sport. I suppose I struggle with it. Normally I'd have turned up late to a meal to watch the end of the race, but I didn't. I turned up on time and I didn't really care too much about the outcome of the race. I thought Max was...
I think an angry Max at the beginning of a race is pretty sensational.
And I think there's no doubting now that Max has the status of Senna back in the day. Senna, if you go back and watch old footage, Senna could be outrageous if he ended up in the midfield. He'd just throw it down the inside in the knowledge that a red and white car with a yellow helmet, no one was going to mess with it. Max has got that status now. He was just stuffing it up the inside and in the knowledge they'd have to get out of the way. So it was great to watch, but yeah, pretty full on. And I...
Minun tÀytyy sanoa, Antonelli, ettÀ jos joku vahvistaa yhdessÀ nÀin, he tekevÀt jotain erityisen erityistÀ, koska sinun tÀytyy vahvistaa ystÀvÀsi aluksi, ja hÀn tekee Georgea hieman yleisölle.
So I don't know how George responds to that, but it's certainly it's unexpected. I don't think any of us thought this would happen. And maybe we should be celebrating the fact that this new formula is throwing up all sorts of results we didn't expect. But there's some I'm not gripped like like Chris says, I'm not.
