What were the highlights of the Aston Martin F1 car launch?
Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. You're probably sick of us at this point because we are throwing podcasts at you left, right and centre. It's our third car launch of the day and it's Aston Martin. And was it 20 minutes longer than it should have been? Absolutely. We're going to get into all of that and more, don't you worry. Lots of laughs and things to joke about in this one. But before we do... We realized this quite late as well. It's actually our third birthday. So the first YouTube video we ever put up was three years ago today. So that's where we're counting our birthday from. So thank you for the continued support on this P1 crazy adventure. And look, as a little birthday present, if you haven't subscribed, please do.
No, Tommy, it's free.
Exactly, yeah. I can't believe it's been three years. It's absolutely insane. That first day we launched, if you were around then, you'd know how incredible it was. If you're new, welcome. Thank you for the amazing support that we've had. We've said it so many times. We said it when we recently got our amazing award, and we do so many thank yous, but we do generally mean it so much. It's insane how amazing it's been, and the three years have just flown by, to be honest.
It has. It's absolutely flown. So I kind of need to just stop in my tracks a little bit and just sort of, you know, sometimes I'll just sit there and go, I should probably just, I'm 33 years old. I'm doing this. Otherwise, life just passes you by, eh, Tommy? But that's not what we're talking about today. Because this car launch did not pass us by very quickly because it kept being repeated repeatedly. It didn't go too well for Aston Martin, who are, I know a lot of Formula One teams are premium brands, but you would say Aston Martin are probably right at the top in terms of how they go and do their business. And they wanted a big, lavish car launch. And that's what they did. It was an amazing staging that they'd set up for their car reveal.
And the live stream had an absolute meltdown. We absolutely lost it. First and foremost, we tuned in, the F1 stream completely muted. We went over to then Sky Sports. After it was really late already. Yeah, it was late, wasn't it? Yeah, you can imagine things were going wrong already. And then I imagine they've gone, look, we're five, ten minutes late. We're just going to have to press play and see what happens. And turns out seeing what happens was not the best idea because it did not go well. It was muted on the F1 channel. It wasn't muted on Sky Sports, which is what we were watching on. It was at the start, and then... Then they just ripped the cable out.
Yeah, and then Formula 1 just gave up and just basically stopped doing the stream. I said this during the watch-along. I would not want to be... Obviously, they replayed it, and that's probably for a very good reason why they went right back to the very start and replayed the whole thing, but I would not want to be the person that basically got it wrong and made sure Laurence Stroll's speech couldn't be heard. Yes, because at one point... You wouldn't want to be that guy, would you?
We were so naive to think that it was all done live and that Lawrence Stroll walking out on stage and doing his opening speech, we wondered whether he was doing the same thing again when the stream broke. And then again, it was the art show. Here we go again. Yeah, it really was. All over with Laurence Stroll walking back out. And then we're like, right, what were the key moments of those first few minutes? Okay, there was a fist bump between the two drivers. Did they do that again? Oh, no, it's the same one. That's so upsetting.
and then we kind of got fairly like quite a way into it after quite a long delay and then it froze again and then we got another bit where it said like stream will resume or the event will resume which sounds very like the whole thing it's all always quite like james bond vibes from the the aston martin launch anyway big echoey room for a start bond layer looking kind of crazy anyway and then the fact that it was like the event will resume when we can fix it I love that it was event will resume which was the first one and then it broke again and they thought they could fool us by putting event will start shortly I'm like
