Chapter 1: What controversial incident sparked discussions during the Canadian GP sprint race?
Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. We're going to talk about some Formula 1 today. Formula 1 has come back with a bang. And this sprint race... A wheel bang. Ooh. Good one, Tommy. You're on fire this weekend. I honestly can't wait to talk about this because it's felt like a while since we've had a dramatic sort of pretty much 50-50 incident to discuss.
And some people will be on one side, some will be on the other. But that's the beauty of Formula One and their very vague rules.
yeah i'm hyped i'm very excited for this one there's a lot of strong opinions that i've got about this and yeah it was just a brilliant has to be said at the start just what a brilliant brilliant sprint race uh really really good years gone by we've always complained that the sprint doesn't really do anything in the oldest hold position because it's kind of the first phase of the race that did not happen my word was it brilliant
It certainly was. So let's get into it and start with a question from P1 patron member Blackson. How justified was Kimmy's anger at George for that first incident? The ones after were clearly his own doing, but the first one was on the line. We're going straight into it. There's no fluff. There's none of this sort of stuff. We're going straight into the incident.
Unless you want to talk about Stroll's P-16 and the investigation first?
Great idea, because that one actually is slightly more important for the championship and the narrative around it. No, it's the Russell versus Antonelli incident. And I have watched this a thousand times. Over and over and over again.
And I love, by the way, how we joked after Miami about what we thought were instilled team orders about don't go anywhere near your teammate because of how much room they gave each other into turn one at Miami. No more. None of that at all. When it's for the win, even if it's a sprint and there's eight points on the line and seven for second, they will leave one millimetre if that. I...
think that Kimi was absolutely justified to be angry. You know, we have to also take into account he's a 19-year-old, second season, trying to fight for a world championship. And he attempted a move which was audacious. I think that is the first word you could use for it. Round the outside at turn one on your championship rival. Fair play.
And teammate, yeah.

Chapter 2: How justified was Kimi Antonelli's anger towards George Russell?
It's a ridiculous decision from the stewards. What are they doing?
And I love, you can tell that we're back and we've had a dramatic incident. It's been a while. You've jumped ahead to the second question. So why don't we talk about that? It's from Anastasia W. And that was around the no investigation at all. And more to the point around whether, you know, because it's a team battle, does it mean that there's different rules?
No, the stewards still work no matter who is fighting who. I'm sure that there are levels to it where teams can be slightly more vocal about it and try and push the agenda. But in terms of their role, they have to look at everything. It doesn't matter if it's teammates or not. So it's a bit like the context.
We've had this discussion before, haven't we, about the context of a move and how you kind of have to take the context of whether it's this, whether it's that. And I think it's exactly the same as when it's a team teammate. Right. You have to judge it as if it's just two cars, because at the end of the day, it is two cars, two cars racing for the win.
It is. So I can't believe that because it's that process, isn't it, of noted and then it's investigated. I didn't even see them take a note. Like, where are their pens? Did they not have a pen and paper to take a note for this particular incident? Were they too busy? Sat back going, this is this is awesome. Formula One's. But oh, God, no, we're the stewards like that.
It felt like that because how? How that has not been noted and investigated, by the way, I think that was 100% worthy of an investigation, purely because I have watched that video in slow motion with picture form and everything, and I can't fully decide which way I want to lean.
I have an idea, but the fact that a lot of us are sat here going, that was pretty close, is what is worthy of an investigation.
Yes, definitely. If we're considering the fact that if someone said, I think George Russell should have got a penalty, if someone said that to me, I'd be like, I can kind of understand why you think that. Because he's squeezed Kimi Antonelli, he's not given him racing room when Antonelli was ahead going around the outside and in control of his car.
Now, I'm not saying it should be a penalty, but you can kind of
