00:00 I mean, the pole sitter right there, you know, very popular.
00:02 Everybody loves him.
00:03 -Everybody loves him.
00:05 And they worked very hard for that position.
00:08 -Yeah, I mean, he's had an incredible year.
00:10 He's done really good during qualifying, and I hope he has a
00:13 good result tonight.
00:14 -I mean, and Team Ferrari, not without some major uphill
00:19 battle, some obstacles this race.
00:21 -Yeah, certainly in first practice, it was unfortunate
00:24 what happened to Ferrari and what's
00:25 happening to him in the race.
00:27 And he's done a great job.
00:28 Ferrari and what's happening to him in the race and taking
00:30 the penalty is unfortunate.
00:31 And I don't know if that's fair, but it is what it is.
00:35 So they have a lot of work to do tonight.
00:37 -A lot of work.
00:37 He's ready, though.
00:38 -Oh, he's definitely ready.
00:39 -He's ready.
00:40 -Yeah, I hope he has a good race.
00:41 -Tell me, what do you think it is?
00:43 I mean, you've been racing for 20 years, right?
00:46 More than?
00:46 -Closer to that, no, about around that.
00:48 -He's a 20, 27, 25, 27, 28.
00:49 -Yeah, I'm trying not to count the years at this point.
00:52 -You've been racing for a while.
00:53 -Yes, I have.
00:53 -I mean, it's no joke.
00:55 -No, it isn't.
00:55 -What is it about the sport that you think is starting to
00:58 really catch on now?
01:00 -Well, I think because of Drive to Survive, we start to
01:02 understand who the people are in the car.
01:04 It's not just some object going around the track.
01:06 You start to identify with the drivers.
01:09 People know who they are and their personalities, and
01:12 they're connected to them.
01:13 And then the dynamics with the team owners and the struggles
01:16 and the drama that goes along.
01:18 -Who knew the drama was so rich?
01:21 -There's always something.
01:22 You know something's going to happen.
01:23 You just don't know when it's going to happen.
01:24 -Exactly.
01:25 -We saw--
01:26 -And you hope it doesn't happen to you.
01:27 -You pray it ain't going to be you.
01:30 I think we had Gunther from Haas.
01:33 And I was like, what is it like to go to the grocery store
01:36 for you now?
01:36 He's like, it's madness.
01:38 -Yeah, and I think he lives in South Carolina, North
01:40 Carolina, or something like that.
01:41 And yeah, they all have become stars.
01:45 -He said it's like, me going to the grocery store now is
01:47 like what Patrick Dempsey must be going through as Sexiest
01:50 Man Alive.
01:51 It's wild.
01:52 It's the wildest.
01:53 -When we go shopping together, we
01:54 run into the same problem.
01:56 -Now, we know that you've got Ferrari coming out
01:58 Christmas Day.
01:59 We also know there's another Formula One film in the works,
02:05 this Brad Pitt, Lewis Hamilton feature.
02:09 What would you say--
02:10 you've been doing this a long time.
02:12 You know what you're doing.
02:14 What does Brad need to be thinking about when he gets
02:16 behind the wheel of one of these cars?
02:19 -I think he's having a great time behind the wheel.
02:21 -He looks like it.
02:21 -I'm sure he is.
02:22 I mean, he's making a movie because he wants to be behind
02:24 the wheel.
02:24 -You think so?
02:25 -Everybody wants to be a race car driver at some point in
02:27 their life.
02:28 And if you can get your job around that and get to go
02:32 train and then put it on film, that's a great thing.
02:35 So I'm happy for him.
02:36 -Dream come true.
02:37 -Yeah, he's having a great time, and he's driving a lot
02:38 of different cars.
02:39 -Indeed, man.
02:40 So good to see you, brother.
02:41 -So good to see you, too.
02:41 -Thank you, brother.
02:42 I appreciate that.
02:42 -Thank you very much.
02:43 Have a good evening.
