00:00 - 00:05The 2025 season was for shit, a lame world champion
00:05 - 00:07F1 needs some fresh wind
00:07 - 00:10The youngest world champion
00:11 - 00:16We put the head together with Mercedes and Audi
00:17 - 00:21And came up with new electrical engines
00:21 - 00:24For Mercedes
00:29 - 00:31and Antonelli
00:31 - 00:3450-50 power split between internal combustion and electrical energy
00:38 - 00:40Perfect!
00:41 - 00:47We completely removed the MGU-H from the power unit and tripled the electrical output
00:47 - 00:50There were some complaints from Red Bull it might worsen the competition
00:50 - 00:56As if we cared about that
00:58 - 00:59Already in Australia
00:59 - 01:01it turned into a complety farce
01:04 - 01:06The cars couldn't even move from the grid
01:06 - 01:08And had less performance than F2
01:13 - 01:14Even F3
01:14 - 01:16The quality of the racing is thrilling
01:16 - 01:20The cars loose energy in the middle of straights
01:21 - 01:27Overtaking is all about pressing an overtake button, so you get more juice out of the engine
01:35 - 01:36Than the car just breezes past
01:36 - 01:39Whithout any fight whatsoever
01:41 - 01:44Now we just had to make sure Mercedes keeps their advantage
01:44 - 01:47So we came up with the idea of ADUO
01:47 - 01:49According to which
01:50 - 01:53Red Bull has the best engine
01:54 - 01:56Not Mercedes
01:56 - 01:58So they got an upgrade
01:58 - 02:02That way, we said goodbye to any competition
02:05 - 02:07Any
02:10 - 02:11Mid season
02:11 - 02:13Antonelli
02:15 - 02:17Has an 80-point lead
02:17 - 02:20All the other teams are half a second behind
02:21 - 02:28When we release the next ADUO, let's say there might be a very surprising "best engine"
02:29 - 02:30Will it be Honda?
02:30 - 02:32Yes, exactly.
02:36 - 02:39We will put Mercedes last
02:40 - 02:42So they can dominate the next five years
02:50 - 02:55As if we would allow a repeat of 2025
02:56 - 02:58How is the racing looking this weekend?
02:58 - 03:04We had a really strong rain today, so we had to wait for an hour
03:04 - 03:09In this time, the engine softwares got completely messed up
03:09 - 03:11During the formation lap
03:16 - 03:20Half of the engines broke down
03:23 - 03:26The cars couldn't keep up with the Safety Car
03:31 - 03:36And either stood completely or got lapped
