Chapter 1: What are the highlights from the back-to-back F1 race weeks?
Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. Our back-to-back race weeks. We are truly living the dream, aren't we Tom Bellingham? We're so back, back again. No walls to be seen that are close to the racetrack like we've just had in Monaco. So fingers crossed a fast, ferocious Catalunya will provide us with some action.
I mean, the tracks this year have provided action kind of most races, it has to be said. Some controversially, some obviously amazing racing as well. And some momentary. Yeah. And if we see a good race here, my word, F1's cooking.
Now, before we get into the world of predictions, let's talk about some news in F1. We've recorded a separate podcast all about the F1 engine catch-up program, or the ADUO as it's called. It's a bit of a farce, so go and check out that episode because we proper pop off. So, yeah, go and have a listen to that, obviously, after predictions.
Other things to mention, Alpine have an FIA hearing for their penalty to basically protest what happened in Monaco. Will it be overturned? I think absolutely not. Personally, I think it's, you know, Alpine obviously kicking off about the fact they've lost the podium. And quite rightly, in the sense of it did seem pretty silly.
Yeah.
I just don't see in-race penalties being overturned, especially when other teams have also suffered from this. And it's only Alpine that are having this hearing. Because at the end of the day, it wasn't a software glitch. It was the fact that it wasn't measured properly.
Yeah, yeah.
Which the teams can do, right? If they really wanted to, I'm sure the FA will turn around and be like, well, that's your judgment from last year. It's changed.
Yeah, exactly. And that will be the argument that they give and probably the fact that, well, it didn't happen to everyone. And it is incredibly unfortunate. We spoke about it in Drive Ratings that, you know, it's not Gasly's fault. There's videos circulating that, you know, it's quite clear that he pressed the pit lane speed limit button.

Chapter 2: What recent news in F1 impacts the Catalunya GP predictions?
Yeah, when he's 150 points clear, I think we'll all be calling for him to have a weekend off. So yeah, that's something to keep an eye on as well. See how Vesti does. Of course, if you're unfamiliar, there are times throughout the season where main drivers will be replaced by younger drivers to be able to give them an opportunity in a proper Formula One weekend.
and quite early as well so interesting that maybe maybe there's thinking behind it because we say that every time but these are all locked in many moons beforehand true yeah yeah it's a good point actually probably probably have been with driver contracts and things like that however even if it's not it's probably quite good for kimmy antonelli that you know he might have won it well by then uh if he continues his amazing form but he's not going into like
Abu Dhabi like Oscar Piastri or something and has to give up his car when he's going for the world championship so yeah it's good to get it out the way while he's clear right it's predictions time 22 18 to Tommy four point the gap still
Not a lot of points scored in Monaco. It must have been the Aperols. Although, to be fair, we did it on Wednesday, so what am I talking about? But yes, it wasn't very accurate.
No, we were just rubbish.
Yeah, we were just rubbish. I tried to blame the Aperols, but we literally did it before we left for Monaco. It's my time to go first. So, a good surprise. I am locking in. Nico Hülkenberg.
Oh, okay, interesting.
It's time for Nico to score some points. The basket is well and truly open for business, and I'm going to put all of the eggs in Hülkenberg's one. So Hülkenberg last year had an absolutely sensational drive
ended up P5 actually who got who got a penalty Tommy and got dropped down and lost the world chat oh it was match seven sorry I'm lashing out after one okay but Hulkenberg is going to beat Charles but Hulkenberg he's got to score some points at some point and it's going to be around the Barcelona Catalonia circuit this weekend

Chapter 3: What predictions are made for the Catalunya GP race weekend?
Especially because I flopped them.
Yeah, that's why I said it. I was like, ah, you know, maybe Tommy's right.
To be fair, first team that came to mind was Haas, but could be some DNFs and retirements and things. Could be.
All right, we will see. Let's now go to our one crazy prediction.
Tommy, over to you. Speaking of Ocon and Perez, my one crazy prediction is there's a teammate collision. So it could be Mercedes. Well, I'm kind of covering two bases here. Where does collision begin and end? with a yeet.
Okay, so it's a significant yeet.
Well, yeah, there's some controversy. Yeah, I'm not counting like a wheel bang on that. Okay, so we're going damage. Any kind of like visible damage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts evaluate driver performances leading up to the race?
So yeah, teammate collision, of course. I think the Mercedes, we could see them fighting again, particularly with how the old boost mode works. I hope we do, because that would be absolute cinema if we can have another Canada and...
I think this is a track that could produce that sort of thing.
It could. It absolutely could because we've seen that it's so hard to get away from the lead. And if whoever's in P2, whether it's Antonelli or Russell or anyone else, if they're within a second, they're going to have a lovely long or straight to have a go. And yeah, I'm really looking forward to this one a lot.
Me too. I can't believe we're saying that about Barcelona.
I know, crazy.
The last one. My one crazy prediction. Lando Norris has no reliability issues throughout the weekend.
Okay. That's interesting because I saw a Patreon went for that one and I nearly picked that one. Oh, did you?
Wow, I didn't see that. But I haven't. Okay, that's good to know. We haven't actually told each other what username we went for, so we might have gone for the same Patreon prediction. We don't obviously share any of the predictions that we're doing, but we say which username just so we don't have the same one. Let's now go to our Patreon prediction. Join the P1 Patreon. You get ad-free listening.
You get access to a Discord, early access to live show tickets, and lots more. And one of these things is, of course, submitting your prediction each weekend. And we will pick one, as we are doing now. So, Tommy, no, it's me. It's me to do my Patreon prediction. It's from Patrick underscore underscore. Nico Hulkenberg makes it into Q3. Come on, my guy. Okay. Come on, my guy.
