F1 Podcast 129 - The Driver Market

[didickcheeseburger]

pep looks high(on life, of course). id like to see kimi go back to mclaren. with no fuel strategy to worry about therell be no excuse for the underpaced car in the team so itll be interesting to see kimi vs hamilton

[miltonwhatever]

Toyota is gone now, any clues on where Glock/Trulli/Kobayashi may drive?

[SumRandmGuy12]

I would say Trulli and Glock at Quadbak since they are the team taking over Toyota.

Kobayashi I reckon will be TD again but I hope not he sure has potential

[saunallezellite]

Jesus Pep! you look like you could do with a good nights kip mate!

Ref : massive bags under the eyes.

[NateDawg80126]

Greatest pass in all of F1 history IMO.  I need me a TV like that.

[FALLOUTBOYrock2345]

Thank u guys for doing this all this time, u make the f1 season that much better, for me i look forward to weekends too see the grand prix's and ur ur podcasts

good on ya's!

cya next year!

[skaife2]

Pep, you look tired.

Kimi + Lewis could work, kimi isnt as commited as FA so i dont think we'll see '07 reloaded'.

Toyota = almost expected once kimi turned them down.

Quad Bak = If in, please be better than BMW 09.

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

kimi going to mclaren would be awsome...

ferrari alonso and massa

vs

mclaren kimi and lewis

that would be fucking cool!

[andresss92]

it would be a

KILLER TEAM

Mclaren = LEWIS + KIMI...

VS

Ferrari= MASSA + ALONSO....

They're all rivals !!!!

[f1fan65]

that would be amazing!

[miltonwhatever]

This may be a long shot, but... since Toyota is probably out of F1, how about Kobayashi at McLaren? I mean, the guy clearly learns fast, I think he could be a solid (and cheap) 2nd driver. I really don't see Kimi at McLaren again, he's the most expensive driver out there and McLaren wouldn't like a situation like '07, with Alonso and Hamilton.

[andresss92]

i totally agree with you. Kimi and Hamilton are two main drivers, they just cant be together. Wheres is Kovalainen going then? ....

[jerryjoe88]

Hey...you probably know this already, but ...it is sooo cool that Sauber gave Heidfeld an F1 car. WOW, nice gift.

Now that the '09 season is over, I just want to thank you Pep, & Max for all the great insight & commentary over this crazy F1 year. The season just wouldn't be the same without you guys. I know you both have lives, & don't have to do this every week, so I just want you to know, that this is one F1 fan that appreciates the extra effort.

p.s. Max...are you fallowing the World Series?

[FoundOnFilm]

Heidfeld for McLaren.

[jeevesosiris]

I agree with all your suggested driver moves. Just wanted to say that i think kobuyashi was genuinly impressive this week and deserves a race seat last year.

Oh, and glad to see heidfeld go out on a high beating Kubica in the championship. Just hope we find him in a decent car next year...

You look kinda tired Pep, new baby keeping you up?

[SprowstonRipper]

hi guys i live in the uk but may be moving down under in the future, can i ask whats it like following f1 there?. i take it you get qualy live as well as the race? any practice sessions aswell? Thanks

[kingjimsixsix5]

great video guys, the 09 season went by so quickly.with regard to cosworth, they have been out of F1 for some time, if i was patrick head or frank williams i would be somewhat concerned to see how compeditive it is compared to the others, as we saw this season qualifying for the grid was within 1 second, so if the cosworth is a dud, williams will be on the back foot fighting with the new "minardi" teams of manor racing and USF1.I was dissapointed rubens did not take second spot in the drivers

[williampatton2007]

rubens should just retire.

[Forzascuderiaf1]

i think he has a good shot actually with Williams they had a good car this year but no good drivers sorry to nico rosberg fans

[xxPI3TROxx]

Williams should get Mercedes Engines!!

[StevenJeNova]

Yes, Kimi, go for McLaren! Welcome home!

[xxPI3TROxx]

hopefully he will put Hamilton in his place xD

[kirbster1977]

Some great back ground footage. I see the shumi, Hakki overtake, one of the best ever in F1 history.

Kimi and Lewis will surely be the strongest driver line up for 2010. It will be great to see Lewis up against another world champ in the same car. Button & Nico should also be a great team and this hulkenburg kid has it all. Apparantly his career is very similar to Lewis without the Mclaren backing to expect to see him do well. Thats assuming cosworth provide a good reliable engine of course.

[TopGearFan1000]

so wanna see kimi and hamo together and if mclaren dont get kimi i will be so pissed off, cause hamo and kimi are my 2 favs (also like kubica, and ofcourse our mark). If toyota stay they gotta sign kobayashi, best drive of all the rookies and hes only raced twice.

Only just under 127 days till the new season, lol, its gonna be a long summer.

The Prodigy FTW, idk that you guys liked them, thought you were big on Muse (they are good to, i like 'em).

[TheChosenRed]

Bloody hell Pep mate, looks like your little one is keeping you up at nights!! Max, spot on with your Kimi opinion, Kimi and Lewis will be the strongest partnership in F1 based on raw speed and at the end of the day, Kimi is the only "Grade A" driver who is free on the market. Kimi in a silver arrows is just the perfect match. Bring on 2010!!

[DC9990]

Ugh, either my laptop is being stupid or this video is loading slow, its probs cause I'm the first viewer & its only just been put up so its probs not fully done or whatever..

[DC9990]

Well it finally loaded xD Guess it may have been my laptop being annoying.

I hope Cosworth bring a decent engine next year just because I'm a huge Williams fan & have been for years, it'll be a shame to see them fall backwards yet again. They seem to have a decent season then go right to the back again for a while :( I wouldve liked Rosberg to stay though he's a great driver.

I think Bernie just wanted the big names of Senna & Piquet in F1/same team.
