00:00Our predictions for the 2025 Australian Grand Prix.
00:21This video is sponsored by the wonderful people over at Squarespace.
00:26The first predictions episode has arrived.
00:31We are ready to drop some serious heat and let's begin with a good surprise.
00:39My good surprise, Tom Bellingham, not you, you're not a good surprise, you're always
00:45surprisingly beautiful, is Max Verstappen.
00:50Because everyone's written him off and more recently as well Max has said the car's not
00:55going to be there, they're going to be taking a few races to get up to speed, all of this
01:00stuff.
01:01But the thing is, there's two things, one, it's Max Verstappen and I do genuinely believe
01:08he's going to be right up there, but two, there's rain forecast for Sunday right now,
01:16which is ridiculous.
01:17Not a lot of rain and it is still going to be quite warm so whether that will actually
01:20affect the track conditions we'll have to wait and see, but even a podium I would genuinely
01:28be fighting for a good surprise here because everyone thinks he's going to be absolutely
01:32finished and maybe a few days after the end of the 2024 season I also believe that.
01:38But then I woke up and if he is terrible then you're welcome.
01:42Okay so my good surprise is Carlos Sainz.
01:47It's a track that Carlos goes well at, he'll have got a lot of motivation going into the
01:53new season, looked mighty in testing, and we all know that testing times are 100% accurate
02:01so he will probably battle for pole position because he did the fastest testing time.
02:06And yeah, I'm going for a Carlos good surprise.
02:12We now go to a big flop.
02:18Kimi Antonelli.
02:19Oh get up.
02:20Yeah, we're starting strong, we're starting big, we're starting, we're starting I think
02:26well with this one.
02:27Now of course it is his first race so it has to be, has to be pretty bad I would say for
02:34it to be a big flop because you have to give Kimi some room to grow and I hope he does
02:41Of course, may I remind you all if this is your first predictions episode, this is all
02:46based on vibes.
02:48We know he's got a little cheeky error in him, not from testing though, so perhaps he
02:53will fight against the flop but that is a, that is a, that's a wide sense, but the thing
03:00is he will, he will have a lot of things to contend with and another thing is the fact
03:04I flopped him so I'm really sorry.
03:06So my big flop is...
03:15I could see your mouth wobble as well.
03:19Okay try again.
03:22Okay a big flop I've gone for Fernando Alonso.
03:27I think it's going to be very tough for Aston Martin based on their form in testing, they've
03:31not looked great unless in the seven days Adrian Newey's been there, he has put some
03:37amazing aero pieces on that make them four seconds a lot quicker, I think they're going
03:41to have a tough time so I've gone for Fernando.
03:44We now go to pole position.
03:48My pole position, my P1 from Saturday is Charles Leclerc, I'm so bad, no I just, these aren't
03:58absolute write-offs in qualifying and Ferrari were quick over one lap last year, Charles
04:04Leclerc is mighty over one lap as we know, 2022 dominated Australia, can we have that
04:09again please?
04:10Absolutely.
04:11So yeah it's not out of the realms of possibility, I think qualifying is going to be good and
04:16close this year, it's just whether that race pace is going to be there as well for Ferrari
04:21which has not been the case over the course of a season for a very long time so yeah I'm
04:26still going Michel, pole position.
04:28Pole position I have gone for Lando Norris, it backed up my theory even before we saw
04:33testing, the McLaren are going to be very very quick this year, have nothing to lose
04:39kind of go absolutely all in on this season to try and get both championships and I think
04:45they're going to be the team that come out the blocks firing so and Lando of course was
04:50on great form at the end of the year with his kind of performance in Abu Dhabi and he's
04:56always looked very quick in qualifying compared to his teammates so gone for Lando.

06:01Okay we now go to our top three in the race, we'll begin with third, my P3, Charlotte
06:08Clark, there will not be the pole to victory and that's no disrespect to him, that's just
06:15I feel I'm scared of the McLaren's race pace but I'm also scared of potential changeable
06:22conditions potentially, but look this is where I've put him, it's not a lot to judge
06:26on right now so it is very much just sticking your finger in the air and seeing where the
06:30wind's blowing and then going the opposite of that sometimes with our predictions so
06:33that's where I'm going P3 Charlotte, P3 I've gone for Lewis Hamilton, gone for a little
06:41podium on debut for Ferrari and yeah excited to see what what he can do on his debut with
06:49Ferrari, there'll be a lot of pressure but he rises to pressure as we know so, he steely
06:54rises indeed, I really hope your top two are including a certain individual otherwise we're
07:01gonna we're gonna be having some serious discussions, second place Lando Norris, Lando's gonna finish
07:11P2, gonna be a very strong McLaren but I am putting some eggs in some baskets so that's
07:18where I'm going with this one P2 Lando Norris, P2 I have gone for Lando Norris as well I think
07:24he's gonna have a very good weekend still just you just never never know and I think Australia
07:31as well always does throw a bit of a curveball even though it's one of those tracks that's
07:37difficult to overtake and maybe this is the nostalgia speaking but when Melbourne was the
07:43the opening race of the season it was a would tend to throw a bit of chaos and surprise particularly
07:51well forget some rain that'd be tasty indeed that would be very tasty P1 not with Matt and Tommy P1
07:58the Australian Grand Prix is for me Max Verstappen, Max wins the opening race of the season drops a
08:06couple of middle fingers to everybody and refuses to elaborate and leaves so that's that's Max
08:12Verstappen I do I feel it everyone will be questioning how on earth has he done it including
08:19ourselves and this might well be very wrong when he finishes P6 okay so P1 I've gone for Bosco
08:27Piastri I think McLaren are gonna be unbelievably quick I don't think they're gonna be like
08:32completely dominant but I think they're gonna have a very good start to the season and it will show
08:37that could see him locking out the front row and Piastri with this home crowd of course be a lot
08:45of pressure but he's a bit of an ice man I think Oscar Piastri he's not gonna be nervous it's not
08:51gonna get nervous about kind of leading a race so you've gone for a home win for Oscar Piastri
08:58in first race of the season interesting stuff we now move to a brand new segment the family top
09:06three let's see if my dad picks up here we go it's like he wants to be a millionaire
09:15good afternoon Christopher Gallagher you are live on the P1 podcast and you are here for the family
09:29top three for the first time ever this is on the P1 podcast predictions so I will need your top
09:37three starting in third position who do you have down in third please I have Max Verstappen second
09:45place George Russell okay George Russell P2 in the Mercedes that we haven't even mentioned Mercedes
09:51fair enough and your winner please okay Orlando George Max podium how confident are you in this
10:01okay fair enough dad thank you so much for appearing on the podcast I was gonna say you
10:11could say hello to everyone else as well but you know just tell me okay there you go thank you dad
10:15love you bye bye okay here we go hello oh yeah I should probably give context straight away that
10:27my dad calls me Fred you're live on the P1 podcast so now everyone knows that you call me Fred but
10:33it's fine we'll we'll roll with it I need your top three for the Australian Grand Prix okay
10:39okay Norris interesting P2 Leclerc okay Matt's looking Matt's doing a big thumbs up right now
10:52I'll take that and P1 Piastri okay we've gone for the double Bellingham Piastri prediction Wow
11:02okay I've also gone for Piastri so I hope we're right because Matt's told me that this is actually
11:09gonna score me points so I hope you've hope these are gonna be right all right thanks dad all right
11:18speak to you soon bye can we I think people need the backstory of why on earth you're called Fred
11:23please because I genuinely don't know my dad's just always called me Freddy since I was a literal
11:30baby you know those things that just don't make sense and then until you think about it but until
11:35then when that just happened I was like oh my god that no one knows why I'm called Freddy from my
11:41dad but it's like just so normal I thought he called you a frappe for a minute I thought it was some sort of coffee
11:46anyway let's decide live on the podcast is this a family versus family points tally but which isn't
11:53to do with our own predictions and we just say at the end who has won as a family or does it all
11:59come in one prediction tally yeah yeah let us know in the comments what what you think and let's go
12:04to our one crazy prediction my one crazy prediction is we have three different or more three or more
12:11different drivers lead the race at some point yes please yeah just sign me up there you go that's
12:18mine doesn't need any more I'm just praying I'm just praying for like the best season ever we're
12:23finishing with the top five separated by ten seconds sign me up my one crazy prediction it's
12:30no surprise it's about one particular individual and it's Kimi Antonelli how it qualifies to address
12:35on his debut okay okay this I feel like this Kimi obsession is gonna be similar to Charlotte Claire
12:47for me this year well my logic is you know if he's half a second off in the Australian Grand Prix I
12:56can you know I can stop predicting it but well well there's no kind of we don't know what's
13:03gonna happen I can go full delusion all right interesting let's go to the final segment of this
13:09predictions podcast which is our patreon prediction so if you're not aware of this if you're part of
13:14our wonderful patreon and you support us you are firstly incredible and secondly you get to have a
13:19prediction thrown into the mix on discord we will then pick one from that to have as our own
13:24prediction my one is from Erin one of the rookies causes a red flag so I feel like if I could get
13:32two birds with one stone with this big flop and that perfect my patron prediction is from Tony
13:41Soprano points for Jack Dewan so yes he's got a good car underneath him still probably quite bold
13:51to go that Jack Dewan will get a point based on maybe his limited experience but I think the
13:57Alpine will be quite good at the start of the year so I think he really needs to hit the ground
14:01running doesn't he and take that the opportunity now because I think we could well see Alpine the
14:08strongest that they'll ever be all season I think straight out the blocks Oh Tommy it feels good it
14:14feels it feels like slipping on an old pair of I was gonna say slippers but I just said slipping
14:21so that doesn't sound very good does it pop it on an old dressing gown God knows where I'm going
14:26with this but it feels comfortable all the same we've got Frank coming in the room as well for
14:30some final words let's see he had to be in the video he's such a star of the show I know right
14:39Frank in form of yawning will Oscar piastri win your one if so no Lando Norris well there you go
14:51and oh there we go it's prediction is Lando lovely stuff thank you very much Frank I don't know that
14:57came out correctly thank you very much Frank there we go I'm trying to remember how to speak at the
15:01moment we can't wait for it will be live on YouTube and twitch this weekend on Saturday and Sunday so
