What is Matt Heath’s F1 Corner and why start the episode with it?
Oh, good morning, Matt Heath.
G'day, G Lane.
Must be excited if one's back this weekend.
Yeah. Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan and uh Baku. And uh Liam Lawson back in his V carb.
Yeah.
So
last year, if you remember, he qualified third. Baku. Yeah. It was the craziest qualifying. I think there were six red flags and he just put in it was a lot of wet. You know, uh Charlie Cler twetted into the war like usual and a bunch of other people lost Capiastri. So it was a real it was real carnage, but uh Liam Lawson kept his head and he Are
we getting into F one Matt Heath F one corner early, are we? Yes. Oh, should we do it?
Yeah He's F one corner Before the Before the Before
the inch before the even podcast starts. This is unheard of.
Unheard of. So yeah. So he did very well there last year. I mean, you probably can't expect qualification to To have that many uh incidents this time. It was wet on diff dry on some corners and wet on some corners last year. Oh, that'll do it. Quite a crazy track. He came fifth in the end, but uh I think it's it's quite good to have him back in the V Carb. What's wrong? He knows that car very, very well. He's good mates with bloody uh
Arvid. What does the signing of Isaac Hedgar for another and at Red Bull mean for him?
I think that was always gonna happen. I don't think it really changes anything. I don't think I don't think Liam was ever in contention to move up 'cause Hajar's done pretty well, so you're kind of replacing someone he's n hasn't he hasn't blown the the back door out of Max Verstappen, but he's got a podium and Yeah, he's been good. So they're they were never gonna replace Hajar.
So do you think they go status quo next? Yeah. Red Bull, both Red Bull teams. I think so. Yeah, right.
Yeah. There there's always gonna be the problem with Red Bull, we've talked about this on the podcast before, is they're always looking for like that superstar, that Max for strap on. Yeah. That generational talent. So that's their idea for Red Bull that you that you keep throwing people up until you find another one. The only problem is that generational talents only come along once a generation. So you got your vettels and your stappins and such. Yeah. But like so he he it's always gonna be a bit of a bit of a wounder in that. that V carb seat in terms of bringing other, you know, hot shots through, but I think they'll keep him next year. I mean it would be quite crazy to get rid of him when he's had such a a good year.
I see Kimmy Antonelli, he's still paying like just over two bucks. Like that's pretty good to win this race.
Yeah.
Is that that that seems crazy to me. Have
you heard the rumors about Kimmy and Max coming to to Bathurst next year?
Oh hell yeah, no. But
they've sh both Max has shown some interest.
Really?
Yeah. Um it's quite I'm not sure exactly how you'd be involved because, you know, you haven't been in the You haven't been in the comp. So maybe maybe it'll be one of the um the it'll be one of the what what's it cars in?
Can you be a co driver without being in the in the competition? 'Cause I think if you you you can be a co driver, can't you? Without being in the actual supercar series. Yeah.
So I remember them bringing up. Who's uh Matt Payne's one? Will Davison who's won Bathurst twice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I suppose you get a solid guy, you don't get a off off the bench superstar.
I'd take I'd take Max I'd take I'd take Max for strap on. If someone said, Hey, I haven't got you a co driver yet, it's between uh it's between um uh Paul Radisich, Greg Murphy, and I've got this guy Max.
Yeah. Uh what do you reckon? Has he ever driven a Mustang? No. No. Has he ever been in a Chevrolet? No. No,
but he's crazy as fuck. Is he? Um so no, I was just looking at the odds um for the Formula One. Kimmy Antonelli's two fifteen. Uh he'd race some other cars anyway. But what are we saying? So looking at the odds.
Yeah.
Uh Lando Norris is four fifty. Yeah. He's on the comeback, isn't he?
I th I think those are that's good m that's good money on Lando.
Four fifty to win.
Yeah. Uh that one. George Russell, the the suckers. I think L I mean Lando got absolutely robbed by Lance Stroll being an absolute cock uh as per user.
