did you already announce the winner??

@@sincostangela I did on wednesday but the person has claimed their gift. I'm giving them a few more days and I'll have to announce a new winner

[@halafakhoury5346]

i love this after watching i feel like as fans we dont realise how smart and intellectual the drivers are

[@aj897]

“We”…… Most people know you need a high intelligence level to drive in F1.

[@valterrodrigues1288]

Because they arent, charlos is an exception

[@KristinKopic]

“Gut feeling vs the data” - one of the things I’ve always wondered about! Thanks for digging in, Toni. Your deep dives into the data side of motorsport are so insightful.

[@karenvelezdelh]

Not gonna lie, this can be one of the best interviews I have seen in a while. Well thought questions = great answers. It is difficult to understand all the data and mechanical stuff and "gut feeling" as a fan... to see Charles and Carlos insights on these topics was amazing. This shows that drivers are not just that, they are also strategists... it takes a lot of effort and experience. Thanks Toni, keep delivering this high-quality content!

[@alaska2026]

I agree ❤

[@umersiddiqui4836]

I like how Charles was so grateful for being this successful and how lucky he is to be where he is, I would love to have their merch actually here in India it's just too expensive I can't really afford it. By the way great video, thanks

[@tonicowan-brown]

I don't think I've ever come across a driver this grateful - it's incredible. I just wish he would stop saying F1 isn't a job because that man (like all of them) work so hard.

[@umersiddiqui4836]

@@tonicowan-brown that's why he is my favorite driver❤, you did a great interview

[@Xavvie]

I loved how difficult it was for Charles to answer the question on which (top 3) data is the most important. I can imagine how some days maybe not even 10% of the data gathered is being checked by him, but then other days, under different conditions he'll be looking at a whole different set. You never think of how much time they're spending behind the screen. F1 drivers must be such geeks :D Thanks for the great interview!

[@teamredgutz399]

This was really an excellent interview. Insightful and well-researched and thought out questions. Charles talks about being grateful to be in his position. He lives that every day to at I have observed him in the paddock. He’s one of the few drivers who always stops for fans no matter how busy he is or whether he’s had a bad race or a good race. He never forgot where he came from and his answers about gratitude are not made up or fed to him by his PR person. It’s who he is. Question and answers about their mental processes and how they use data or terrific and I haven’t heard a lot of them being asked of F1 drivers. It’s usually more biography focused in most interviews rather than getting deep into their mental processes and how they use data. Great stuff Toni. Well done.

[@sailorneorune]

This was an outstanding interview, a welcome departure from the trite questions the drivers often get or the fawning over the drivers on social media (which I find especially obnoxious as a Carlos fan). I came into this space thanks to my husband following Fernando Alonso's un-retirement. I enjoyed watching Sebastian and Kimi as teammates for a little while, then it was off to McLaren to meet Carlos and Lando. I enjoyed their banter almost as much as their racing, and I admire Carlos' willingness and ability to step in and help out as well as his skill on track (reminds me a bit of the late, great Satoru Iwata of Nintendo- a great technical mind but also maintaining a kindly nature in a highly competitive space). Every field needs its own Iwata (or maybe multiple Iwatas? You've certainly got the technical interview part in the bag!)

[@cmua96]

awesome in-depth interview on getting their perspective on data. love these two but carlos is one of my favorites because he is such an intelligent driver, playing strategist and engineer while also obviously driving during the race. this was a very informative chat and can’t wait to see them race in real life!

[@Bubreherro]

Sitting down to enjoy this. Not going to lie, the data questions are definitely right up there for me: I’ve been following F1 for so long, but this is really the age of information. Not only access to data, but data vs feeling is such a real thing

[@sofiaelizabeth8]

Such a great interview, IMO. So glad you were able to do this, and be recognized for your hard work! The experience you got must be so cool. ❤

[@sieun.leeeee]

this might be one of my favorite interviews

[@sv-bd5em]

Carlos is so smart and insightful, thanks for sharing!

[@DJjussi1]

Phenomenal interview. Just one small tip for long form, when the other person is talking avoid saying things like “yeah, okay, etc” as it doesn’t listen well for the viewer.

[@plumgut]

thank you for providing us such a thorough technical interview! As a viewer, it’s easy to constantly get caught up in the speed and glamour but at the end of the day it is such a demanding sport that requires so much thought and team preparation. Your questions were absolutely amazing, you killed it 🫶

[@veronikakralova4281]

This was such a sweet interview with both Charles and Carlos ❤! You could see how much relaxed they could be because of your attitude, great questions and you listening to them 🫶🏻. Thank you for it 🎉

[@alltimemer2]

Such an informative and engaging interview Toni - no surprise from you!

[@tonicowan-brown]

Thanks hun this actually means the world to me and appreciate you taking the time to watch and say this

[@zulema132]

As someone who has only been following this sport for a year, I found this interview so insightful and fun to listen to. I learned so much and its so different from many of the interviews out there. Great content looking forward to watching more of your videos!

[@AnaInTh3Sky]

I am probably being ignorant, but could anyone shed some light onto how this small channel secured such a long interview with BOTH SF drivers? 😮

[@tonicowan-brown]

Happy to do so myself. Because my audience is mostly on TikTok and I’ve been working in this space for over five years providing value to the series and the teams in a myriad of ways - consulting, content, host of podcasts, official beginner’s guide to F1… this space (i.e. KZbin) and format (long form interviews) is new to me but that doesn't mean I'm new to F1 or to these teams.

[@tonicowan-brown]

I Hope that was enough light shedding 😊

[@AnaInTh3Sky]

[@giannasalo534]

I loved the questions you ask, it's such a calmness to listen and hear this, and how both drivers are like comfortable and understand your questions so easily, most interviewers questions are more "drama" style while yours where like technical and everything. Ty!!

[@mallyg3075]

Very interesting and informative interview - it was great to hear them really go in depth about their process. Love both of these guys and I’m gonna miss them as a pairing ❤

[@amandab5327]

This is one of the best interviews, really shows the skill set of someone not only being great driver but everything that comes with the sport behind the scenes as well

This was, no joke, probably the best interview I've ever seen of these guys

[@sprout-gu9cx]

This interview is such a great experience for us viewers and I guess for Carlos and Charles as well. We need more interactions like this where they talk on what they are passionate about. I love this so much, getting to know the sport, and drivers without all the extravagant things. Also, great setting, it really is so calming and professional.

[@littletweeter1327]

Refreshing to see an interview that’s not just all drama bait. Thanks.

Amazing interview! This is my 1st year watching F1 and Ferrari is my favorite team!! It's insane how much we (as normal people) can't fully comprehend an F1 car

[@laurenmacdonald2274]

This is one of the best and most well thought out/researched interviews. I can't wait for more!

[@PrateekF1]

Its a great interview, not many people ask these kind of questions, i think you have tapped on a different territory in the world of driver interviews. Many a times these drivers get asked stupid, not so relevant questions. I would like to see more drivers being interviewed by you.

[@RanbirForever04]

been waiting for this ever since this "keep an eye on my driver" video with carlos :)

[@ruhanisalsabilmoushi4845]

Great interview with very insightful questions. They looked like they enjoyed talking to you and answering your thoughtful questions. Very informative as well for ordinary viewers who are trying to get into watching f1!!! Kudos!

[@trgoodman6820]

The questions you asked were amazing… this was one of the most thought provoking interviews I’ve ever seen a driver do. Congratulations on an awesome interview!

[@hypnoticpoison131]

Thank you for offering us the opportunity to listen to Charles’s and Carlos’s insights and let them finally open up more ( it makes me think of Lando’s interview on the High Performance Podcast) This interview really helps to understand better the drivers’ s mindest but most importantly how race preparation works! It is refreshing to not only have random and basic questions! 😍By listening to both of them, I really understand why they are such great drivers, Ferrari is really lucky to have them both ! One of my favorite driver is Charles because he embodies values that I am aligned with such as humility, respect and gratitude and he drives insanely well ( and of course I was born and bread by a Ferrari fan so obsviously I can’t support an other team) Toni, you are a great active listener and it is so pleasing and I can feel that you really enjoy this interview as well. It is the best in-depth interview I’ve listened to so far ❤ I am a bit sad that Carlos is leaving the team but I wish him the best at William Forza Ferrari 🏎️

[@dirtysideofthetrack]

We went to Canada in 23 for our first ever GP and it was utterly brilliant. Lucky enough to get into paddock before race started. Always have a special place in our hearts as well. Superb video 👏

[@emimorgan13]

You've done an amazing job at threading the needle between asking questions about the personal and technical aspects of what makes a great F1 driver. Brilliant discussion and perspective from both Charles and Carlos on striking the balance between innate feelings vs. data-driven insights and the impact it has on their approach to driving.

[@sprout-gu9cx]

This really is gold in all the PR events and collaborations we usually see with F1 drivers and teams. I'm not saying those are bad, but sometimes we all need to connect on human level. ❤

[@DilaraErdemir]

Thank you for this interview because we can see a different thing that drivers talk about like how Carlos says that you either bite or get bitten and I think that is so true in Formula 1 or I really love the quick fire questions because even Charles advice to make a mistake is not even just for athletic people it is even for us not athletic and I think that’s really important.👍🏻✨

[@jiminsplushy338]

Loved the interview so nice to see such a professional but exiting interview, the questions were so well thought

Wow what a great in depth interview about the backstage technological aspect behind this sport that we all love to watch. And also thanks for thinking from the perspective of us fans and thanks to Charles and Carlos for explaining everything in layman language. Good wishes to both of them and Team Ferrari cause they desperately need it right now!

So excited to see this interview after being teased on the short form socials. Love your content and your perspective! Edit: After watching, all I can say is wow. To hear from the drivers in a more long-form interview was so refreshing. Most interviews with drivers or team personnel are so brief and rushed. You weren't looking for a sound bite, and they weren't trying to give you one. Incredible interview Toni, thanks for putting the video together.

[@stinkyanaa]

[@DanielFigueroaPalomo]

Top interview TCB, always like to see the F1 drivers outside of their natural habitats, hope to see more of this content in the future.

Amazing! I wish more interviews were like this, where we get to see an in-depth exploration of the skills and experience of each driver.

[@klupo16]

I was a bit cautious to see how unfiltered an exclusive interview with drivers can be, but this was actually very nice to listen to. Very pleased to hear the long uninterrupted answers in the casual athmosphere. Thank you for this almost podcast form of an interview. It goes without saying that an interviewer builds the feeling that the drivers only mirror, so hats off for the excellent job done here! Hoping to see more in the future.

[@ZTheMoki]

Such a good video, It's rare that we get to see a technical long form video on F1, especially one from a driver's viewpoint which is going to be less technical by nature.

[@mariyab897]

What a great, intellectual conversation from both drivers. Questions were very interesting too, hope to see more interviews like this!

[@gerlynnollan5634]

I haven’t seen this duo this serious for such a long time in a conversation, on cam. I love it HAHAHHAHA plus this is such a good chance to get a peek on how technical F1 can get - and ofc the driver’s personal insights on being in F1 is awesome. I would love to hear from other teams as well.

[@nhaymacaballero753]

I agree with majority of the comments this is a very great interview, it feels a conversational because of the context with the back and forth of the interviewee and the interviewer. Excited to see you in delving more in the F1 community much more in the future.

[@giannasalo534]

I really liked this conversation, maybe you never see the comment, but it was so calm and so fun to see both drivers so happy or tranquil to respond, your vibe brings a nice calming to the environment!! Great Job! Keep going!!

What a lovely conversation! I really enjoyed getting to hear both drivers thoughts on data and how they utilize it to become better drivers. You always bring the best content, thank you ❤

[@michelletaylor1594]

thank you for giving us the chance to deep dive on how it takes to be F1 drivers, especially with my favorite team - scuderia ferrari. not only the driver themselves, but the data, their years of experience driving the car, as well as everyone in the team all work together to achieve victory! these are good insights for me as someone that works in the data field to see how the work we do would give a huge impact but the human aspect will never be replaced! thank you!

[@peacelovef1]

I was looking forward to this and it was even better than expected! Great questions and great answers in a great setting. I think they liked it as much as you did, I did and a whole lot of other people will do. Now I’m looking forward to more of this in the future ✌️❤️

[@sharlowtt8210]

It was nice to hear them in this format! Love the insights these two brought.

[@mariabermudez6633]

This one felt so technical but so much far way from bore. For me it is where we saw C2 (Charles and Carlos) in a more calm and knowledgeable way, without saying that it was more than interesting that you had the chance to ask such as good questions because we are used to see banal questions and empty answers. This interview helped to highlight that they are more than drivers and winners, there is so much more behind the steering wheel. They are superhuman resisting more than 300kms every weekend, they are really smart and charismatic... all in the same time! Thank you for this. 🌺💖

[@MollyHuebenthal]
