0:01Well then, welcome to the final, the
0:05truly final episode of 2025. Everything
0:08else is over, I think this is the
0:09absolute last one we're putting out.
0:10We're capped off now; nothing else is
0:12coming out from us.
0:13Well, you could write something on
0:14Telegram.
0:15Only if I’ve got something in me to
0:17write. Well, obviously, right on New
0:19Year's Eve, we’ll toss some greetings
0:20and other things into the Telegram
0:22channel, too. I’m going to decorate a
0:24tree there that isn't even cut down,
0:26just a regular tree. It’s standing in
0:28the woods, suspecting nothing, but
0:29we’ll decorate it. We just have a
0:31tree across the road from our dacha.
0:33It’s going to get a lot of ornaments.
0:35Are you planning to cut it down and
0:36drag it over?
0:36No, no. You mean just decorate it as is
0:38? What do you mean? Why would I cut it
0:39down? It’s been standing there
0:40looking beautiful for 40 years, or I
0:41don't know how long. It’s a big tree.
0:42What do you mean? I’m no expert on
0:43tree growth, but it certainly hasn't
0:45been growing there just since yesterday
0:46.
0:46And by the way, you can't just cut them
0:47down.
0:48I know that, just in case.
0:50If you have a plot of land and are
0:52registered there, the state officially
0:54allocates you a patch where you can
0:55harvest firewood. Seriously?
0:59Yes, if you’re registered somewhere
1:00out of town and need to heat your house
1:02, they tell you, "Here you go, please,
1:04those trees over there, go ahead and
1:05cut them," and it’s officially
1:07assigned to you.
1:09Are you going to register just to get a
1:10plot?
1:11Yes, I’m still registered in Veliky
1:14Novgorod, so I might have to organize a
1:17little patch. This burned electric
1:25scooter that didn't go according to
1:27plan.
1:30I really love sawing and chopping wood.
1:32It’s honestly one of my favorite
1:33activities in life. It rarely happens,
1:35but if I’m walking somewhere and see
1:37stumps lying around and there’s a
1:39splitting axe nearby, I’m occupied
1:40for four hours. Exactly.
1:42Do I understand correctly that you have
1:44some hatred for logs? You always twist
1:49everything the wrong way. Well, what
1:51are you going to do? And exactly, on
1:52New Year's Eve, or the night before,
1:54the sound of chopping wood will be
1:56heard somewhere in the forests of the
1:58Novgorod region. Exactly.
2:00And the logs will be blazing.
2:02Yes. Cheers.
2:04Of logs.
2:08What are everyone's plans for New
2:09Year's?
2:10We moved into the woods.
2:11Is the forest aware of this?
2:13Not yet. We haven't been out there yet.
2:16Well, damn, we've lived there for two
2:17days, and we've already seen a squirrel
2:18, a woodpecker, and someone that looked
2:20like a dog-wolf, which
2:21Did you go outside?
2:22No, you can see everything through the
2:24windows. Now I don't really feel like
2:25it.
2:26There was a joke, like, you looked in
2:27the mirror and saw it. Ah.
2:30First.
2:31My first one. Alright, okay.
2:35Well, honestly, I'm thinking about
2:36something other than New Year's. I'm
2:39thinking about that perfect lounge spot
2:41with a projector, great sound, and a
2:43huge sofa. I thought today that it's
2:46the perfect place to watch F1, but the
2:48first races, unfortunately, are in the
2:50morning.
2:51In March
2:52that's normal, it's okay, it's fine.
2:55But the fact that they're in the
2:56morning, that's not okay.
2:57Well, you can rewatch some previous
2:59races. I'm watching the 2014 season
3:00right now, for example. That's easy
3:02enough. Well, sometimes. I mean, when I
3:03have the time, when I’ve set aside
3:05time to watch F1.
3:06Want a spoiler? Want a spoiler?
3:08Yes, I know it, but I'm curious how, in
3:10what specific way, what exactly
3:12happened. Are you gathering data to
3:15mock Hamilton more argumentatively?
3:18Of course,
3:19first of all. And secondly, well, you
3:22have this thing where these are niche,
3:24geeky F1 details. But when you enter
3:28any small community, the people who
3:30were watching F1 back in, say, 2014,
3:322010, and so on, here in the country,
3:34they’re like, "You're a total newbie
3:36here, you know?"
3:38Yeah? It's a small community, so you
3:40need to build up an argument base to
3:42debate them over a beer.
3:43See, 2014 was exactly the same as the
3:462017 Mercedes era, when they started
3:48winning everything easily.
3:502014 was the turbo era—the start of
3:51the turbo era. There’s the new car.
3:53Right. Well, there’s the turbo motor,
3:55the six-cylinder engine, 2014.
3:57Wait, no, hold on, in 2014, I think...
3:59hybrid. All of that was 2014. 2014 was
4:02the start of the hybrid era.
4:03And who became champion in 2014?
4:05The 2014 champion was Hamilton. So
4:06before that, Vettel was winning
4:08everything easily,
4:09right? You had Red Bull dominance for 4
4:11years, and then Mercedes arrived after
4:12the new regulations. And right now
4:14I’m looking at Vettel’s sad face
4:16and Hamilton’s still, for the most
4:18part, happy face, because I’ve only
4:19watched half the season so far. But
4:21honestly, rewatching old races is
4:22pretty fun.
4:23I tried it, somehow I watched 15
4:25minutes and was like: "Nah,
4:26it's the first time. Then you get into
4:28it." Well, looking at it purely as a
4:31spectacle, old-school motorsport
4:32requires some serious willpower,
4:34because you have no decent infographics
4:36and nobody explains anything properly.
4:38The graphic designer has been murdered.
4:40Good riddance.
4:41No, we have to investigate. No matter
4:43how much we despise them.
4:44And if you think watching motorsport is
4:46difficult now, no, it's actually very
4:48easy and very clear. They label her as
4:50a model, then a chat, then a partner...
4:52just watch the broadcasts, even not
4:54from 2014, but from the 2000s, for
4:56example: everyone cared so little,
4:58everyone was so...I mean, a race is
5:00going on, someone crashes somewhere,
5:02marshals are literally dragging a car
5:04across the track while the race goes on
5:06right past them.
5:07Without any yellow flags. Well,
5:08there’s no flag, no electronic board,
5:10just one guy waving his arms, and
5:12people are like, "wow, what a cool
5:15spectacle." Divine.
5:17Divine graphics.
5:20This is the last ad of 2025. And if you
5:22were looking for a sign for next year,
5:24this is it. Make decisions faster. See
5:27this little car? It’s a great
5:29personification of a small business. It
5:31looks like a full-fledged vehicle, but
5:33it’s still a bit small. My first
5:35entrepreneurial venture was just like
5:36this at the beginning. And it didn't
5:39scale very quickly, partly because when
5:41I started, there weren't opportunities
5:42for entrepreneurs like those Sber
5:44offers now. Now the bank has a solution
5:46for those running a business in the
5:48service sector. You can open a bank

7:04Year's with my whole family.
7:06Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. You should have started
7:08with that. But why are you thinking
7:09about a room to lock yourself in?
7:11Exactly.
7:11There are no doors in that room.
7:14I knew which house we were going to.
7:15Danya,
7:20I’m currently wondering how many cars
7:22I need to drive to the metro to fit all
7:24the mayo for the Olivier salad for this
7:26whole mob. For some reason, I just
7:30imagined that meme of the guy sitting
7:32on the toilet with shampoo. Like, the
7:35whole family is sitting in the mayo,
7:37just...
7:38Looking out the window, "woodpecker,
7:40wolf, run, Danya."
7:43They’re being looked at just like
7:44that, like, who showed up at their
7:45place. And how many people will be
7:47there?
7:47Look, not everyone is coming, because
7:49there are 38 of them.
7:50No, so there will be 13 of us. It’s
7:54not everyone, because when you have a
7:55big family, you have internal family
7:56feuds, and they’re like, "I'm not
7:58going if she's there." And it's like,
8:00and
8:00thank God, at least one less person,
8:03that's fine. We'll call each other on
8:05New Year's later. It's fine. That's it.
8:07That's my sister and mom with that
8:08drama. "I'm not going if she's there,
8:10count me out."
8:11There are already husbands, some
8:14nephews I have,
8:15some of those people. Well,
8:16they are coming too, right?
8:18She's talking about you, by the way.
8:20He won't even leave. We'll hang out
8:23with them for 2 days, then catch our
8:25breath for 2 days, and then we'll go to
8:27Volgograd to Danya's relatives, and
8:29then the New Year holidays will be over
8:31. I hope everything goes great. My
8:34grandma hasn't met Danya yet, and my
8:36grandma is an extravagant woman. When
8:40her other sister was meeting her future
8:42husband, Grandma came out in an Indian
8:44dance costume and showed him how she
8:46could dance.
8:48Why haven't I met your grandma? Very
8:53handsome.
8:56Pashka says, "Staska, I saw your guy,
8:58when is he getting married, he's
8:59actually very handsome."
9:01Bring Grandma here.
9:02Grandma is waiting.
9:03We’ll figure it out at some point.
9:06I’ll come to you in those dance
9:08outfits with the little bells.
9:10No, I think it will be fun, interesting
9:12, and very warm. But the main thing is
9:14that it won't be for long. With
9:15relatives, it's like, well, 2 days, and
9:17then, honestly,
9:18it's hard for Grandma, but the main
9:20thing is it's not for long.
9:26I hope Grandma doesn't watch this
9:28episode. If anything, I’ll say it was
9:31a very handsome young Vlad, and that
9:32he’s silly, but very, very beautiful.
9:35Ready, set, go, Vlad, mount up. We also
9:39haven't celebrated New Year's together
9:41in 100 years, because, firstly, finding
9:43a place where you can, you know, gather
9:45such a crowd—it's, well, a challenge.
9:47Before this, the common place where you
9:48all gathered was the maternity ward.
9:50Like the only time together. We were
9:53only there one by one. I didn't go to
9:55every discharge, for instance. I was
9:57there
9:57for the seventh one already. Well,
9:59honestly, I had already sat with the
10:01others.
10:02I'll meet him later. I mean, like, when
10:04,
10:04well, they bring him somewhere. He
10:06won't go anywhere. He'll come later and
10:08introduce himself when the time is
10:09right.
10:09Anyway, it’ll be fun, I hope. 13
10:11people and two dogs. Maybe Danya and I
10:14will head off to the wolves, but that's
10:15not for sure.
10:16Well, a squirrel and a woodpecker are
10:17definitely already there. They are
10:18already at the base.
10:20Alright, anyway, we'll see how this
10:22experience goes, maybe we'll like it. I
10:24hope that we will like it. You can't
10:26really run anywhere there. It's just
10:27woods, there's absolutely nothing there
10:29. I really enjoyed watching the look in
10:30Liza and Danya's eyes when they
10:32realized, like, that we need to
10:33celebrate as a family, we need to
10:34gather everyone, we need to organize
10:36everything. We calculated the final
10:38budget and compared it with the cost of
10:40a trip somewhere far away and warm.
10:42In one place it became warm,
10:46anyway. Yes, celebrating New Year's
10:48with relatives or flying to Bali for
10:50the whole winter is, sort of,
10:51equivalent. You understand, right, how
10:54dear my family is to me, that I’m not
10:56flying to Bali in the winter to annoy
10:57everyone on Instagram, but staying in
10:59Moscow for the winter. I love them very
11:01much. Danya has nothing to do with it
11:03at all. He just got caught up in the
11:05numbers.
11:06Just collateral damage, sort of.
11:08No, in all seriousness, it’s that we
11:09are getting older, our parents are
11:10getting older. And, like, we need to
11:12spend New Year's with them. I’m
11:14probably becoming that exact same
11:16auntie who goes: "Well, New Year's is a
11:18family holiday, after all. Where are
11:20you going to go see friends after 12:00
11:22? Sit here with me, let's watch the New
11:24Year's special."
11:25The same auntie who spent the last 5
11:27years God knows where has emerged.
11:29I’m like: "So, wait a minute."
11:31Well, I’m exactly the same. I’m
11:33also gett—But now it's New Year's,
11:34that's it, it's a family holiday, let's
11:36gather as a crowd. That's it,
11:39there are so many people there that
11:40they could, in theory, hold up a board
11:42so Danya can simulate surfing.
11:46What about you, what are your plans,
11:47brother?
11:47I don’t know. Were you planning on
11:49going skiing anywhere? No.
11:51Well, after New Year's, during the
11:52holiday break, there are so many people
11:54there that it’s not worth it.
11:55After New Year's is when? In March.
11:57March is just perfect for riding. At
11:59many ski resorts, you're basically
12:01an expert. No, I know that in January
12:02it's better not to go, because, well,
12:04they'll run you over and won't even
12:05notice. In March you'll get run over,
12:07but at least by someone with skill.
12:09Well, on the other hand, in January
12:11there are so many tourists who are just
12:13passing through, they don't even reach
12:16the mountain, they break down at the
12:18bar way earlier. On one of our trips,
12:20we were crazy enough to hike up a
12:22volcano on foot, some kind of altitude,
12:23to watch the sunrise, and all that.
12:26Well, it's like a standard tourist
12:27route. You have to start the climb at
12:29like 3 or 4 AM, something like that. So
12:32, naturally, you have to wake up at one
12:34, get to the meeting point, they gather
12:35the group of tourists, and then you
12:36hike up the volcano. Naturally, half
12:39the group didn't even go to sleep.
12:41Naturally, everyone arrived already
12:42drunk. Not only was everyone hiking up
12:44the volcano with beer, but since it's a
12:47tourist route, there are several spots
12:49along the way where you can refuel.
12:51Like a little kiosk stands there, and
12:53the local guys sell local beer. A lot
12:55of people didn't make it. We lost a few
12:57soldiers along the way.
12:58No, well, Oscar wanted to go to Ossetia
13:00, but the tickets there cost a fortune.
13:02Yeah, by the way, I mean he
13:04how much? Let's compete to see whose
13:05ticket is more expensive. 40.
13:07He has it at 40 for a domestic flight.
13:09Should have just bought them in
13:10November.
13:11Well, that's not realistic. A ticket
13:12for the New Year holidays. Actually,
13:14when we flew, we bought them back in
13:16August to fly at normal prices.
13:18So it's just one time
13:20to pay,
13:21get it over with, and then you think: "
13:22Where do I want to go in August, what
13:24to do, where to fly." Everything is
13:26planned, it's all for a reason. Again,
13:28yeah,
13:28planners are just greedy and thrifty.
13:31It's not that they know everything,
13:33they just don't want to pay 10 times
13:35more. In August, well, for New Year's,
13:37you have it, well, a little more
13:39expensive, but not as bad as now, I
13:41think. Right now, for any super popular
13:44tourist destination, like Dubai, for
13:45example, it's better not to even look
13:47on December 30th.
13:49Well, I can say that I bought tickets
13:51to Bangkok 4 days ago. I paid 60 for a
13:54direct flight per person.
13:56That's not—it's not crazy, not super
13:58painful for Bangkok.
13:59It's not painful for Bangkok. Well,
14:00it's a direct flight.
14:01It's painful in Bangkok already. This
14:04is a post-New Year's story.
14:07Well, if it’s a long trip, maybe
14:09it’s easier, a bit more predictable,
14:11right? I, at least, haven't found it so
14:13. I always feel like, if you have a
14:15flight or a trip around New Year's or
14:18the May holidays, like May 1st or April
14:2130th, just buy it in March, February,
14:24or whenever, because, well, it’s just
14:26insane. Your whole country gets up and
14:29leaves the country. Like, judging by
14:31how much tickets cost.
14:33If you look at house rentals for the
14:35New Year's holidays, I was even more
14:37shocked than with the tickets. At a
14:40standard time, a house costs 40 a day,
14:42for example.
14:43Yeah,
14:44the same thing. But
14:45near Moscow, the price tags are insane.
14:47It’s, well, unpleasant, yes. What
14:48they ask
14:49for New Year's is 350-400, and for a
14:51minimum of three nights. So, like, to
14:54check in, it’s like 1.2 million. And
14:55it’s not even a mansion. It’s not
14:57an estate, just a house. It has four
14:59bedrooms.
15:01I guess it's either priced so you won't
15:02rent it, or to pay for a full
15:04renovation afterward, because they’ll
15:06trash the whole place to hell.
15:08I’d rather peck at the walls like a
15:10woodpecker.
15:11Well, that’s actually what we chose
15:12to do. It turned out we just found a
15:15house that a guy happened to rent out
15:17because he left for the winter, and for
15:19the price of what we would have paid
15:21there—even less for two days—we
15:23rented the house for three months.
15:25A total steal. Really, the prices are
15:29just insane. I haven't been this
15:31shocked by prices in a long time,
15:33because you think, "Well, it’s just a
15:35standard rental cottage." I was in
15:37Gelendzhik, guys, this year, I’m
15:38telling you, they’ll rent it out and
15:40they’ll party there. I’m telling
15:42you seriously. You have no idea how
15:44much money there is in Russia—just go
15:47to Gelendzhik,
15:48they are all in Gelendzhik, apparently.
15:50There’s a Tsar Barber there. You walk
15:52out, and there it is. It’s written in
15:54gold: Tsar Barber. And you’re just
15:56like, "That's it, all the money in the
15:58world is here." Bam.
15:59And not a single ruble spent on
16:01mattresses.
16:02And, by the way, the ones in Gelendzhik
16:03were fine. That was in Sochi. That’s
16:05where
16:05I found one.
16:06You found one?
16:06Uh-huh. I was sent some recommendations
16:08.
16:08Are you bringing your own now?
16:10No, no, I found one, I found a mattress
16:12. Everything, everything is great.
16:13Well, my old lady grumbling about those
16:16price tags is over. And most
16:18importantly, we’ve got this sort of
16:19cozy, homey mood going on. I hope you
16:21have a cozy Christmas tree standing in
16:23your home, too.
16:25I hope you're watching this video right
16:27at the moment you're slicing up pickles
16:29.
16:30Your hands are already stinging a bit
16:31from chopping onions, potatoes, and
16:33everything else. Some movie is playing
16:36on the TV, or rather, not a movie, but
16:38the news broadcast. Everything is great
16:41. For me, besides the traditional stuff
16:44—like, you know, Olivier salad,
16:46caviar sandwiches, a tree, New Year's
16:48TV specials, and so on—New Year's
16:49always means a "Muraveynik" cake. I
16:52mean, my mom always makes this huge
16:54Muraveynik cake. When I see a
16:55Muraveynik, it’s New Year's right
16:56away, just like with tangerines. I have
16:57the exact same one. I have the exact
16:59same reflex.
16:59Do you get to nap during the day?
17:01No, usually on the 31st you're in
17:03turbo-mode, where everything has to be
17:05done on the last day. And absolutely
17:07everyone around you also has to get
17:08everything done on the last day.
17:10There’s usually no time to nap. Well,
17:11at least when I used to celebrate with
17:14my parents or friends in Novgorod,
17:16you're just partying until the very end
17:18, drinking until 4 or 5 AM, and then
17:21everything just collapses until about
17:23January 7th or 9th. You only start
17:25coming to your senses around that time;
17:26what you were doing before that is a
17:28total mystery. Old New Year's Eve, you
17:29just blinked and missed it. With
17:30relatives, somewhere, somehow, it's
17:32like "Old New Year's, whatever."
17:33Vareniki,
17:35well, something like that, yeah. Yeah.
17:36So, where do the days from the 1st to
17:38the 10th usually go? Absolutely no idea
17:39. Zero chance of remembering. And it's
17:41better that way. But I will definitely
17:42stuff my face with Olivier.
17:43So, this will be your first year in
17:45many years with a meat or sausage
17:48Olivier? Meat or sausage?
17:49Well, my parents always made it with
17:51bologna.
17:52That's fine.
17:53The main thing is no carrots.
17:54Olivier with carrots.
17:56Yeah, many people make it with carrots.
17:58Yeah, generally, Olivier with carrots.
18:00Disgusting.
18:01Almost everywhere, Olivier has carrots.
18:03I think it has carrots in it.
18:04No, it definitely has carrots. I don't
18:07remember what mine has, but I think
18:09it's carrots, or maybe that was
18:10Grandma's carrot. Grandma's carrot.
18:14Well, we finished off Grandpa's, now
18:16only Grandma's is left.
18:17It’s like you’re flying along with
18:19me.
18:21Write in the comments: Olivier with
18:23carrots or without?
18:24Well, it’s important. We need to find
18:25this out for sure.
18:26Amnesia, otherwise we might end up
18:28eating the wrong Olivier salad. I only
18:33know the version where you have it with
18:34sausage, but there's also one with
18:36boiled beef. Premium Olivier.
18:38We'll have it with sausage, Dan,
18:39there's so much of it.
18:40No, only, only Doctor's sausage. All
18:42that other stuff is just some kind of
18:43gay nonsense. Only Doctor's sausages.
18:45And Grandma's carrots.
18:49Well, it’s like those caviar
18:50sandwiches, like, I don't know how you
18:52do it. My whole childhood was based on
18:54this, like, that long baguette.
18:55You had a baguette in your childhood.
18:57A baguette? Well, I mean, the French
18:59loaf was called a French baton, I think
19:00, or a French roll. All the way, so
19:02that the pieces would be round, because
19:04, excuse me, spreading it on a round
19:05sandwich versus a regular sliced loaf,
19:07that's a completely different amount of
19:08caviar.
19:09Do you eat yours with butter?
19:10Well, with butter in childhood, but now
19:12with cheese.
19:12With butter, wow.
19:14Like what.
19:16I have mine without anything.
19:16Inflation?
19:18No, I mean, butter is so expensive,
19:20by the way, butter
19:21not right now. Butter costs a fortune
19:23in general now.
19:26A pack of butter is 500 rubles. I’ll
19:27jump in here. I was just in Minsk, and
19:29we looked at how much Brest-Litovsk
19:31butter costs there. Half a kilo is like
19:35250 rubles. Ours costs 500-600 for the
19:37same thing.
19:39If you’d brought back butter, you
19:40would’ve paid for the trip.
19:42Vov, you don't understand the concept
19:43of girls 'trips. We don't "pay for"
19:45anything,
19:46because you don't spend anything.
19:48If a young man wants to pay for
19:50something, that's his personal
19:51preference.
19:52And why are you eating alone?
19:53Why? I didn't say I was going alone.
19:55But were you just eating for one? Yes.
19:56Yes. Well, I just
19:58my grandmothers are waiting for me
19:59there, not grandfathers.
20:00And Bangkok.
20:01And Bangkok. Yes,
20:02I really like that the capital of
20:04transvestites is Bangkok.
20:06No, I have a small trip, I'm going to
20:08Bangkok.
20:09Well, people live with that. Well it's
20:13not a big deal.
20:14Oh. Alright, on that note, let’s move
20:16on to the news. Yes,
20:21well, the news that we definitely need
20:24to discuss as this time passes. Since
20:26Formula 1 popped up a bit, Formula 1
20:29and the FIA showed what the cars will
20:31look like in 2026. This isn't new news
20:35for the Formula 1 world, because
20:36everyone has already been racking their
20:38brains over the 2026 cars. For like a
20:41year and a half, probably. And renders
20:44were shown a long time ago, and even
20:45when it was announced that Audi would
20:47participate in the championship, they
20:48also brought out some Audi renders,
20:49saying, look, it might look something
20:51like this. And this is not exactly the
20:54car that will be the real one, because,
20:56again, every Formula 1 participant
20:58develops their own car entirely. Every
21:01team racing in Formula 1, while this is
21:03just some test mule used to break in
21:04tires, because it's not just the
21:06manufacturers who have to build their
21:08own car, everyone has to prepare. You
21:11have Pirelli making the tires, and they
21:13also need to make new tires for these
21:14regulations because it's unclear what
21:16will happen next. And Aramco and the
21:18other fuel guys participating are also
21:20making their own separate types of fuel
21:21, because we have a new engine, we have
21:23synthetic fuel there. How this
21:25synthetic fuel will work in the new
21:27engines is absolutely unclear. And the
21:29engines are new? And the cars are new,
21:30in short, absolutely everything is new.
21:31This car doesn't share a single bolt
21:33with the car that just crossed the
21:35finish line, which just finished racing
21:37. It is an absolutely different car. In
21:40terms of size, weight, aerodynamics,
21:42engine, design type, and the hybrid
21:43part. It's a completely different
21:45machine.
21:47You could probably say that this might
21:49be the best year to start watching
21:50Formula 1 if you wanted to, because so
21:52many rules are changing, including new
21:53cars. So, if you get into it,
21:56well, who knows. I’m not an apologist
21:59for the "old geezer" approach, those
22:01who have been watching Formula 1 for a
22:02long time, saying you have to really
22:04dive into motorsport and that
22:05motorsport is a show for the elite and
22:06all that. Start watching on Netflix.
22:09Watch Drive to Survive first. Any
22:11season. Well, I don't know if I should
22:13advise starting from the first one, if
22:14suddenly...
22:15Listen, actually, you should watch the
22:17first one because it explains
22:19the lore,
22:20yes, it explains qualifying, practices,
22:23um, pit stops, all that stuff. And it's
22:26explained clearly, interestingly,
22:28lightly, and quite neatly.
22:29And if it hooks you, then yes, you can
22:31really start watching the season. But
22:33again, we have absolutely no idea what
22:35will happen in 2026. On one hand, it's
22:37very interesting. On the other hand,
22:38there is a non-zero probability that
22:40the first race of the season starts,
22:42some three cars just fly very far ahead
22:44, and everyone else can't even reach
22:46the finish line. That could absolutely,
22:47easily happen. And rumors are already
22:49circulating there, right now inside,
22:51right at this moment in that small,
22:53tight world of Formula 1, a scandal is
22:55looming that, like, look, Mercedes
22:57definitely found a loophole in the
22:59regulations. Finding a loophole in the
23:02regulations is basically the main goal
23:04for any designer, because you need to
23:05find that exact gray area and exploit
23:07it effectively. There's a theory that
23:10the new engine regulations require a
23:121:16 compression ratio, but the FIA
23:14will only conduct compliance tests on a
23:17cold engine. Mercedes found some
23:20technology and figured out a way for
23:21the connecting rods, pistons, and so on
23:23to deform in just the right way as the
23:25engine heats up, resulting in a
23:26different, higher compression ratio
23:28when racing. And that gives them a
23:30horsepower advantage. So, if this isn't
23:33banned, Mercedes and all its customers
23:35are going to pull way ahead of the pack
23:37. And it seems like Red Bull has
23:39something similar in the works. Well,
23:41something in between. Like, they might
23:43be able to develop it, they might not,
23:44it's unclear. There's an internal
23:46shouting match going on right now, with
23:48Honda, Ferrari, and Renault screaming,
23:49"Damn, we’re clearly headed in the
23:51wrong direction, we won't get anywhere
23:53with this engine, and Mercedes is
23:55exploiting it again, and they’ll be
23:57dominating for years to come." So,
23:58there’s a big scandal there. Listen,
24:00by the way, do you know how many years
24:01these regulations are for?
24:02Six, I think.
24:03Six.
24:04And from a regulator's perspective,
24:05you're in a very strange position. If
24:06you ban an engine right now that
24:08legally complies with all the rules,
24:10you’ll leave four teams without an
24:11engine because they won't have time to
24:13develop a new one. And Mercedes—
24:15that's Mercedes, Williams, McLaren,
24:18who's the fourth?
24:19Ha. What do you mean, "Ha"? No, no. Not
24:21Ferrari.
24:22Wait, it’ll be Alpine, by the way.
24:24Right, they’re abandoning their own
24:26power unit.
24:26Yes, exactly, that’s right. They
24:27would be left without an engine
24:29immediately. If you say everything is
24:30okay and fine, then you’re guaranteed
24:32to have four teams pulling away at the
24:34front. And everyone else won't be able
24:35to catch up. So, well, we wait. It’s
24:37possible that at the first race it will
24:39be immediately clear that, yeah, the
24:40guys have vanished God knows where. On
24:42the other hand, maybe not. We’ll
24:43watch, the races will tell, because
24:45once again, just like in '25 or '24, it
24:47initially seemed like the season was
24:49clear, lost, everything was bad, and it
24:51wouldn't be interesting to watch. And
24:53therefore,
24:53Just in case, just in case, don't start
24:55rooting for Ferrari.
24:56Yeah. Yeah, it's not worth it.
24:58Regardless of the regulations. We’re
25:01good under any regulations. We’re not
25:03going anywhere, every year is our year.
25:06I saw a meme where a guy walks into an
25:08Italian kitchen and the chefs have pots
25:11exploding everywhere. With the caption
25:13"Leclerc watching Ferrari mechanics try
25:16to replicate Mercedes' compression
25:19ratio."
25:21I saw somewhere that a former F1 driver
25:23from the nineties said that the only
25:25one who could really compete with Max
25:27Verstappen in an equal car is Leclerc.
25:30That’s possible. I’d even agree
25:32with that.
25:32They just need to give him a decent car
25:34already.
25:35Honestly, in the last few races,
25:37Leclerc looks like he could use a drink
25:39. Yeah. Well, something like that.
25:42Waiting, still waiting. Pre-season
25:44testing is soon, they'll be showing the
25:46cars soon. We’ll discuss that with
25:47you guys as well.
25:48And DRS is being scrapped too.
25:50Yeah, DRS is being scrapped. Instead,
25:51there will be an overtake button. There
25:53will be a mode in specific zones.
25:55You'll be able to use it, not just
25:56aerodynamics. I mean, DRS is a thing
25:58that opens your wing and your drag just
26:00drops. And off you go. Now there will
26:02be a button so you can use extra power
26:04from the electric motor.
26:05And there will be active aerodynamics.
26:07So they kept that
26:08active aerodynamics. They're leaving it
26:11so the driver can adjust whatever they
26:13want during the lap. Besides driving
26:17and constantly adjusting brake balance,
26:19the differential, and all those other
26:21things, now you’ll have to deal with
26:23active aero too. And at the same time,
26:27in what used to be DRS zones, there
26:29will be sections on the track where you
26:31can press a button after a certain
26:32amount of time to catch up. Max was
26:36saying somewhere recently that, for
26:38example, on low-drag tracks like Monza,
26:40because of this active aero, you might
26:41have to downshift at the end of the
26:43straight just to go faster. And that's
26:46weird. Like, you're driving down a
26:48straight, then downshifting even more
26:49just to go faster—it's nonsense. Who
26:51knows how it’ll actually work.
26:52We’ll see. Once the cars appear and
26:54the racing starts, then it’ll be
26:55clear. The main point is that the FIA
26:58wants to ensure cars don't create dirty
27:00air, so when a car is trailing, the
27:02wake doesn't affect the car behind as
27:04much, leading to more overtakes.
27:07Whether they'll achieve it or not,
27:09we'll see. Because in '22 the logic was
27:10exactly the same. A few years have
27:12passed, and nobody can overtake anymore
27:14. Yet in qualifying, everyone was still
27:16very close, the cars were very similar.
27:18But when the race starts, if you're
27:20behind, it's impossible to attack. In
27:24Australia, they’ve banned the Toyota
27:26Yaris commercial again.
27:27What?
27:28Exactly that.
27:29What do you mean?
27:30In Australia, there are bureaucrats who
27:33ban car commercials. If they are
27:36working upside down there
27:37that would explain a lot. They ban ads
27:40if there’s even a hint of dangerous
27:42driving. And Toyota is showing, well,
27:44our Yaris GR. They supposedly shot the
27:46clip following all the regulations.
27:47They didn't speed anywhere, and at no
27:49point in the video did the car lose
27:51control. It didn't really show any
27:53extreme driving in the city, but the
27:56video looks like the car jumps over a
28:00big ditch, grabs a burger on the way,
28:03and maneuvers between containers.
28:06Toyota followed all the guidelines, but
28:08the bureaucrats still didn't like it.
28:10Well, you can tell it's just a sped-up
28:12video. It’s going 10 km/h and they
28:14just sped it up 10 times.
28:15Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And there’s
28:16a person in a helmet sitting there. The
28:18video was shot by professionals, and a
28:19pro was behind the wheel. And by all
28:20means, don't try this at home. You just
28:22can't. Meanwhile, in that same
28:24Australia, gambling ads? That’s fine,
28:25no problem. Go right ahead.
28:26He pressed the start-stop button.
28:28That's dangerous. Ban it, ban it.
28:30What if a bomb is connected to it? Well
28:32, no, in the case of the Toyota Yaris,
28:34there are rockets attached to it.
28:35The Yaris doesn't have that vibe.
28:38Why?
28:38Well, that should be a pickup truck. A
28:40rocket.
28:40No, pickup trucks, machine guns. Get
28:43your lore straight. Come on, really?
28:44The Yaris is a rocket. At best, an
28:46aircraft carrier. Well, Aksar,
28:48come on. 28 years later, Mercedes-Benz
28:55chief designer Gorden Wagener is
28:57finally retiring.
28:59Well, look, all the recent Mercedes
29:01cars from the last 10 years were
29:02designed under his leadership.
29:04Even the EQS,
29:05even
29:06where would you put it?
29:07Well, the third-generation G-Wagon, the
29:09current one, was also designed under
29:11his direction.
29:12Did the G-Wagon actually change?
29:13Well, it's interesting, wait, I'm very
29:15curious. Does he walk around with
29:16hairspray? Yeah, all the Mercedes look
29:19a bit slicked back. He’s kind of like
29:21that too, so it all checks out.
29:24So, here is your verdict as people who
29:26aren't immersed in the design industry,
29:29who don't know a damn thing about lines
29:30,
29:31or these cars of yours, yeah. That
29:33outsider look at
29:36As a designer, I can tell you that
29:37under his tenure, Mercedes decided to
29:39move away from those sharp, embossed
29:41edges seen on earlier models and
29:42shifted toward a, I don't know,
29:44biodesign philosophy. To put it simply,
29:47everything became enveloping, sort of
29:49teardrop-shaped. That classic Mercedes
29:51thing where you have an E-Class, an
29:53S-Class, and a C-Class, and from 50
29:54meters away, you can't even tell which
29:56is which.
29:56Yes, it's called Sensual Purity.
29:58Oh, right, that’s it, that "
30:00sensuality."
30:01Sensual purity.
30:03Oh, yeah, you're spot on.
30:05The Germans love purity.
30:08They’re pretty tidy guys in general,
30:10yeah. Well, again, the 222 Mercedes was
30:14done in this style, as was the 213
30:16E-Class and all modern models. I mean,
30:20notice that they have these inflated
30:21sides; there are no embossed creases on
30:23the flanks anymore. Everything works
30:25through reflections and shadows. So,
30:27you can't really call this his
30:28innovation, because everyone eventually
30:30arrived at this. He just guided
30:32Mercedes toward these more streamlined
30:34shapes. Accordingly, yes, he has some
30:36good works, like, for instance, the
30:38second-generation Geländewagen, where
30:40it was preserved,
30:41but it's completely different—just a
30:42square piece of iron, and it's a good
30:44one.
30:44Well, no, the current generation
30:46G-Wagon isn't actually square. If you
30:48look at it from the side on video, you
30:49can see that the front part has become
30:51more rounded and so on. And then there
30:53are the bad works, like the EQ line;
30:56and the EQ concept looked cool, if you
30:58Yes, I know what you’re talking about
31:00, and I actually agree with you, but in
31:03real life, the EQS is such an awkward
31:05blob. But unfortunately, the production
31:07version—a whole Mercedes, a giant
31:09company with decades of history—
31:10couldn't manage to bring a beautiful
31:12concept to market. It's regrettable.
31:14This design led people to think, "
31:16I’ll just go and buy a BMW." If BMW
31:18hadn't started doing their own crazy
31:20stuff, then probably...
31:22Very striking.
31:23There was potential,
31:25yeah.
31:25Well, you also have to understand that
31:27this was, like, 2019.
31:292019, but it set the idea for the EQC,
31:31that visual two-tone split like on the
31:33Maybachs.
31:34Back in 2019, it looked really sharp.
31:37Yeah.
31:38And you’re talking about Toyota
31:39concepts now, saying they’re somehow
31:41not quite right.
31:42Which Toyota concepts?
31:44Well, the Crown, the...Oh, the Century,
31:46the two-door ones. That car is from
31:482019, and the Toyota concept is from
31:502025. Six years have passed.
31:51They love Toyota so much. They’re not
31:53—they’re fine.
31:54But then again, they hit the mark
31:55precisely later on. And
31:56still, Toyota's styling, at least in
31:58the Century, is more geometric. It has
32:00flatter sides, well, more angles. Here,
32:03note that it’s purely a giant droplet
32:05on wheels.
32:06You can tell right away it will flop in
32:08sales.
32:09You can tell right away someone sprayed
32:10it.
32:11No, honestly, the EQC that hit public
32:13roads is just dismal. It’s just
32:16really bad—outside, inside, as a
32:18chassis, and...
32:20Well, by the way, people wrote in the
32:22comments that they drove it, that
32:24it’s wonderful, and they had no
32:25issues.
32:26Let’s wait for dry pavement and grip,
32:28grab an S-Class and an EQC, take them
32:30to the track, and I’ll show you with
32:33my own hands, because it’s just trash
32:35.
32:35This one is the bad one, this one.
32:37If you can’t tell which one is bad,
32:39it’s this one, this one. No, I was
32:41really surprised by how bad that Crown
32:45you had was,
32:46the 200th one. Yeah.
32:47Yeah. If you take that and compare it
32:50to a B5 Passat, however much better the
32:52Crown is than the B5, multiply that by
32:5310, and that’s how much worse the EQC
32:55is than the S-Class.
32:57You can’t multiply infinity by 10,
32:59that’s...
33:00possible. Tenfold infinity, I
33:02multiplied it, everything works. Even
33:04though the B5 is a good car, but in
33:05comparison, just because they are
33:07different classes, different years, and
33:08different everything,
33:09my Crown was from 2008,
33:11it’s a 90s car.
33:12But...
33:12the fact that it lasted until 2008 is a
33:15different question. Excuse me, from '97
33:17to 2005. Getting back to Wagener,
33:20the guy lasted about 10 years as the
33:23chief stylist at Mercedes. That
33:25deserves respect because designers
33:27often only last, well, 5 years. Mhm.
33:30Sometimes a person designs something,
33:32and consumers absolutely hate it, so
33:34they’re quietly pushed out.
33:36Exactly. That he is a top-tier
33:38specialist is beyond any doubt. Simply
33:42because you hold a top position for a
33:44large number of years at a top
33:46automotive company. Well, like, there
33:48are zero questions there,
33:49yeah. And to stand in the same ranks as
33:51Paul Bracq and Bruno Sacco, who also
33:53went down in global automotive design
33:56history. I mean, I definitely
33:58wouldn’t call him a design legend
34:00right now, but over time, his work—
34:01the S-Class Coupe, for example—I
34:03think looks awesome.
34:04The car isn’t for me, but the S-Coupe
34:07, yeah.
34:08It’s a shame the viewers can’t see
34:09the faces we’re making while
34:11listening to Vova talking with such a
34:12serious look.
34:13You’re just memeing and feeding me
34:15some wild nonsense.
34:19They didn’t announce why or where
34:20he’s going. He just, well, there’s
34:22info in the press that it’s of his
34:24own volition, like he just got up and
34:25left. Bye everyone. Have a good time
34:28working. Good luck to you.
34:30Just looking at the latest cars
34:32Mercedes is showing, they’re
34:34launching this lineup with giant
34:36grilles. I mean, first of all, this EQ
34:39lineup failed. It's a forward-looking
34:41lineup. These are the cars that were
34:43supposed to be the future of Mercedes.
34:44It failed; nobody liked the design. So,
34:46that’s already a minus on the guy's
34:48portfolio. Right. And secondly, the
34:50direction he’s chosen now, he’s
34:52basically taking the electric design of
34:54those rounded Mercedes. and slapping a
34:57big grille on it. It just looks like
34:59correcting mistakes. It’s not a new
35:01word, not a new trend. I think Mercedes
35:03realized they need a new take on design
35:05, a completely new one. Moving away
35:08from those old ideas.
35:09Let’s wait for the official
35:10announcement, when they announce
35:11someone.
35:12Oh, they already did. It’s the AMG
35:13stylist. Then again, that doesn’t
35:15mean all Mercedes cars will look like
35:17what AMG is doing now. It means the guy
35:19has the task of coming up with
35:20something new now. And BMW took a guy
35:22from Porsche who...
35:24Well, they took a top manager from
35:26Porsche.
35:27Not a designer, I mean, just an
35:29executive who managed things at Porsche
35:31and is now coming to manage BMW.
35:33No, well, Porsche management is doing
35:34just fine. Is it Nedelkin, or Nedelka,
35:36what's his name?
35:37Nedeljković, that’s BMW.
35:39That’s BMW.
35:40Nedeljković is BMW.
35:41Man, they need to film a "Drive to
35:43Survive" about company managers. Who
35:45managed what and where, and how? "Drive
35:48to Survive" for all German automotive
35:50company management would be titled "Run
35:52from the Chinese," because HR managers
35:54from China are just chasing them. Like,
35:57"Come join us."
36:02Toyota is going to revive the Scion
36:04brand for unconventional cars.
36:06It’s called Scion.
36:07It'll be Scion.
36:08Well, everyone calls it Scion.
36:11Why such a headline, "unconventional"?
36:13What does that even mean? Why not "
36:14specialty vehicles"? Why not...do you
36:16realize that most Toyota cars are "
36:18unconventional"?
36:19What do you mean "unconventional"?
36:20Front-wheel drive sedans.
36:23Wait, do you want to...
36:25Finally, Vladimir admits the Camry is
36:28an unconventional car. Vladimir
36:32Velichansky,
36:33should I list which districts of Moscow
36:35you’re no longer allowed to visit? I
36:37already understood which taxi class
36:39I’m not allowed to be seen in.
36:41Welcome to the Maybach. An
36:43unconventional sedan. So,
36:45what does "unconventional cars" mean?
36:47Well, a traditional car layout is a
36:48longitudinal engine in front, a
36:50driveshaft, and rear-wheel drive.
36:52You’ve got a buggy in the news photo
36:54anyway.
36:55Right. Well, unconventional.
36:57Well, you see, they are continuing.
36:58Yeah, you could say it’s not a road
37:00car at all. It’s specialized
37:02machinery.
37:02From that perspective, can we link
37:04AvtoVAZ to LGBT?
37:05Damn, well, while they were releasing
37:07classics, they were very traditional.
37:09Are we saying now that Lada fans are
37:11heterosexuals? Did I understand you
37:12correctly?
37:13They drift. Drifting is a very manly
37:15pursuit.
37:15Come on out, boys, let’s head to the
37:17comments. A drifter under the window.
37:19That right there is a heterosexual.
37:20Let’s do it. Yes.
37:21Not under the window. No, but in a
37:23hypermarket parking lot. Yeah,
37:25yeah. I have nothing to add.
37:27Me neither. Everything is buried.
37:29No, wait a minute. Like, how else
37:32am I supposed to get it in the comments
37:33? Like, in any sense,
37:35that’s what I use.
37:37We know. I’ll drop you a channel. You
37:41can push back there; there are already
37:44three videos. You can go wild.
37:48How else are you supposed to have fun?
37:49Like, winter
37:51with unconventional cars. How else to
37:54have fun?
37:54Said Toyota. And here you go, no, the
37:57point is that all along, everything the
38:00Scion brand did was like a niche brand
38:03inside Toyota that just made strange
38:05little cars for a strange audience.
38:08Well, it only operated in America,
38:09right? Yes,
38:11yeah, yeah, yeah. And so, for
38:13unconventional American car enthusiasts
38:15, we make unconventional American cars,
38:18which inside America are just, man,
38:19what is this, in this kingdom of
38:21pickups, sedans, and big crossovers?
38:24And then there's this square Scion box.
38:27Like,
38:27well, essentially, they took cars made
38:29for Japan and offered them to Americans
38:31.
38:32Well, listen, they even released the
38:33first GT86 under the Scion brand for
38:35the American market.
38:36Yes. After it became clear that it was
38:38a successful experiment, they thought,
38:39alright, let’s slap a Toyota badge on
38:41it, because it’s quite possible it
38:42could have been a total failure: "You
38:44never know," as they say in America.
38:45As far as I remember, I read about
38:48their first model, the xB, which is the
38:50Toyota bB, that little square. Every
38:52time, man, when I hear Toyota bB.
38:56I’ve been into cars for so many years
38:57, and whenever I hear Toyota bB, it’s
38:59always such a surprise to me. I know
39:00there is a Toyota bB. But when I hear "
39:04Toyota Bee-Bee," forgive me, please.
39:07Well, anyway, they
39:08Toyota Bee-Bee,
39:11damn it,
39:12targeted a young audience in the States
39:14, but as far as I read, it was mostly
39:16bought by pensioners.
39:18Yeah, I think the Audi A2 should have
39:20been called the Audi SS. That would
39:22have been fitting.
39:24It would have destroyed everyone in
39:25sales. Are you talking about that? It
39:26would have been the Audi SS. You, well,
39:28are you talking about that? No, no, no.
39:30They had something like that.
39:32I remember a cartoon from my childhood,
39:34Princess Sissi. I used to die laughing
39:36at it every time.
39:37Imagine, Princess Sissi in a Toyota bB.
39:39Damn,
39:42I love that Vova was talking 5 minutes
39:44ago about the legends he's standing
39:46next to. And here we are with a Toyota
39:48bB
39:49for Princess Sissi.
39:51The people Vova is inspired by. The
39:54characters we are inspired by. Do I
39:57understand correctly that this robot
39:59from Kikoriki is the Russian version?
40:01Yes. Toyota bB.
40:02Alya, do you want me to show you a
40:04Toyota bB?
40:07That’s not how hitting on women works
40:10.
40:11Then you show me Princess Sissi.
40:16Well, she looks a bit too huge for a bB
40:18.
40:19No, she's actually small. It's just
40:21it's just cold.
40:24Vova just got a compliment. Everyone is
40:28stunned now.
40:31Well, it doesn't look like a bB. It’s
40:33just
40:33It's bB, I take it, that's short for "
40:35Baby Box." Like, a small, tiny box.
40:38I don't know how to get out of this, so
40:40let's just move to the next news story.
40:41So, are we going to tell the gist of
40:43the news, what Scion did? He showed
40:46this buggy. Right.
40:47And Toyota is generally thinking about
40:49reviving the Scion brand as a
40:51manufacturer of, yeah, unconventional
40:53transport, not cars, but some kind of
40:55mobility devices.
40:56I love how bravely he’s saving this
40:58news, like, that everyone—well,
41:00really, Toyota thinks, "Okay, let's
41:02fragment the lineup again, let's stir
41:04things up again." We have this strategy
41:07where we’re now spinning off Century
41:08into a separate brand, spinning it into
41:10a separate brand. And let's also revive
41:13Scion for very specific people and show
41:17something there too. It’s all
41:19pointless, because the Toyota bB
41:22Toyota, I did everything I could.
41:24That’s it.
41:26The Rolls-Royce Dawn convertible got a
41:28weird tuning job in Dubai. Where else
41:31could it get a weird tuning job, but
41:32they never cease to amaze us, guys,
41:34because now a Rolls-Royce can also look
41:35like this. Damn.
41:37There. That's a real bB. Am I the only
41:40one who thinks the front grille looks
41:42like a radiator?
41:43Like a radiator, yeah. They must have
41:45walked through some of our old
41:46buildings and just saw that radiators
41:47are sometimes covered up. There.
41:49Something like that.
41:50That’s how it was in our old office.
41:52We had the exact same diamond pattern.
41:55That's that tuning studio, Vuum. Yeah,
41:57that’s the one. Not only did they
41:59take and ruin another Rolls-Royce, they
42:01also did the back. Like this thing here
42:04. They stitched the interior very
42:05poorly. Before this, they also showed a
42:08Urus. So, we've had a number of news
42:10stories about Italians getting
42:12butt-hurt over automakers using the
42:15Italian flag or local place names in
42:17their model titles without
42:18authorization, and so on. Just show
42:21them this Urus, which has, like, an
42:22Italian flag all over the car. They
42:25couldn't even manage to sew the
42:26headrest in the center. Yeah, it's that
42:29bad. I mean, you open the photos of
42:31this Urus, open the interior, and
42:32it’s just, well, sewn however it
42:34happened. And that's normal for junk
42:36like this. They aren't disclosing the
42:38prices for the Urus or this Dawn, and
42:40screw it anyway. Someone is just going
42:42to get sold this thing for a whole lot
42:43of money. And what for? It was never
42:46clear. And it still won't be clear.
42:48Looking at the font, it feels like they
42:50were just scrolling through some editor
42:52, like: "Okay, this one's free, let's
42:53use this one."
42:55Well, it's objectively worse than the
42:57Rolls-Royce Justin Bieber had. It’s
42:59hard to even imagine the one West Coast
43:01Customs made for him.
43:02Oh, that's cool. We'll include a little
43:05Bieber.
43:05Justin Bieber's audience.
43:08Well, it's, like, futuristic. No,
43:11just show its ass. The rear is just a
43:13nightmare. It's not Bieber, it's
43:15P-Diddy-diddy.
43:18Well, that's that. It ruins everything.
43:20Sort of hunchbacked. Brokeback Mountain
43:22.
43:22And Oleg gets into the context however
43:24he can.
43:25Well, those guys got into each other
43:27however they could. By the way, I
43:29haven't watched Brokeback Mountain.
43:30You haven't watched it.
43:31And why did you say not to? You've
43:33watched it.
43:33There are just unconventional cars
43:35there.
43:36It's just that you won't be able to
43:37look at the Joker normally afterwards.
43:39There's a line in there too: "Do you
43:41know how I got these scars?"
43:51Jaguar has built its last internal
43:53combustion engine car.
43:54This will be the final news story of
43:55the year.
43:56Yeah. And
43:57we'll end on a sad note.
43:58Well, why sad? Not only did they build
44:00their last ICE car, but it’s also the
44:03last F-Pace SVR; the five-liter one is
44:05going to a museum.
44:06And what, that's it?
44:08Everything, everything, the petrol
44:10division is no more. One got drowned in
44:12a pool, the other was given to a museum
44:14.
44:14That's it. Oh, come on, I’m more than
44:17sure, more than sure, that in a while
44:19this car will pop up somewhere in St.
44:21Petersburg, like: "Gentlemen, we found
44:25an interesting one on our market." What
44:29is this five-liter thing? Now we’ll
44:31wrap this business around something.
44:33I’m sure of it. It’s just a matter
44:35of time. But nonetheless, it’s a
44:37milestone, that this really is the last
44:39car we can sell for real money.
44:40Everything else we'll only be able to
44:42sell for
44:43play money.
44:44Yeah,
44:45we're just getting by on grandma's
44:47carrots now.
44:49It seems Jaguar still has some stock of
44:52cars left that they can sell to
44:53customers. But otherwise, officially
44:56they are still saying that we only have
44:59the Type 00 left. This is what there it
45:04is. We are waiting for announcements
45:06about either a new gasoline car or the
45:07company closing down.
45:08They did fix their website, though.
45:10Yes. Yes. It took some time, along with
45:13Land Rover. They lost a fair amount of
45:15money again, but it seems like
45:16everything is working now. It's unclear
45:19.
45:21Come on, maybe something positive for
45:22the end. What's wrong with you?
45:24Something positive for the end.
45:25No problem. VAZ will be allocated
45:28support for redundant staff.
45:30Come on. That's it, that's all for this
45:32episode.
45:32A court banned Tesla from using the
45:34word "autopilot." Alright. And the
45:37lidar supplier for Volvo cars has filed
45:39for bankruptcy. Positive. Positive.
45:42Positive. Chery will challenge Ferrari
45:44and Porsche on the racetrack.
45:45Whoa, there it is. And
45:49in Le Mans, a Chery Tiggo 7 is like, "
45:51What the [ __ ] am I doing here?"
45:53No, if they lose to them, I, well,
45:55I won't be surprised. Come on. So,
45:57the news is that Chery as a concern is
46:00like.
46:01You decided to dwell on this news.
46:03We're going to Le Mans. No, well,
46:04that's going to be fun. It’ll be very
46:05fun because they seriously, really like
46:07, want to show everyone at Le Mans.
46:09So, Toyota is preparing a GR GT for Le
46:11Mans, supposedly?
46:13Just imagine, a Chery Tiggo GT or
46:15something. No, Porsche has been there
46:17for a long time, Ferrari is there too.
46:19And besides, unlike Formula 1, Ferrari
46:21performs well there. They succeed at
46:23everything, they are champions,
46:24everything is fine.
46:25They took a triple podium, right,
46:27in endurance racing, with prototypes
46:29Ferrari is doing great, they are
46:30champions. Again, the 24 Hours of Le
46:33Mans is a race within the endurance
46:36marathons. There are prototypes, GT3,
46:39and GT4 there. Le Mans isn't a separate
46:42event, it's just a race stage, just a
46:44hyped one.
46:46So it turns out Ferrari can make a
46:48reliable car for racing, but not
46:50everywhere.
46:51Yes. And they can manage a racing team
46:54properly too,
46:55but when the wheels are open, they’re
46:56like, "No, no, we don't know about that
46:58."
46:58Well, strictly speaking, a prototype
47:00also has open wheels, just
47:02just covered.
47:04Well, it's like a half-poker half-joker
47:07thing, you know? It's hard to call it a
47:09production car either. Although I'll
47:11probably get flak for that now. That's
47:12fine, let them give it to me.
47:17The main thing is that Chery comes out
47:19like: "We have reached a preliminary
47:21agreement with the French to
47:22participate in Le Mans." We have brands
47:24that we should be promoting there. We
47:26have developments that, if anything, it
47:28will be very interesting to look at
47:31there. On the other hand, well, there's
47:33Lynk&Co, which is hilarious, absolute
47:35nonsense in TCR for normal people.
47:37There are unconventional races in
47:39front-wheel drive cars. Right, correct?
47:41Yes. Unconventional, what's that?
47:42Transverse engine, front-wheel drive
47:44car. There is a top front-wheel drive
47:46class. That's the top category.
47:48Absolutely incomprehensible, but it
47:49exists. In the World Touring Car series
47:52, this is the top category for
47:53front-wheel drive power. Lynk&Co is
47:55racing. They are a manufacturer of
47:58electric and hybrid stuff and all that.
48:01Except TCR is a strictly
48:02gasoline-powered car. Like we argued
48:04about in our previous news segment,
48:06about how it's unclear how they will
48:08continue promoting EVs in world
48:10rallying and so on. For several years
48:13now, Lynk&Co has been racing in Touring
48:15, not having gasoline cars in their,
48:17well, sales arsenal as a phenomenon,
48:19because it's a brand purely for
48:21electrics.
48:22I think they have gasoline models. Ah.
48:24No, they have hybrids. They have a
48:26sedan, from which they, in fact, made
48:28this car,
48:29but they are racing there. Well, it's
48:30like if they had sent a Zeekr to
48:32Touring as well.
48:33They only started making pure electric
48:34cars relatively recently. And even then
48:36, they created Zeekr specifically to
48:38make a separate electric car.
48:39And from my point of view, it's the
48:41same thing as if they had entered that
48:42same Zeekr into Touring. That's also
48:44strange.
48:44And Lynk&Co is...
48:46Geely.
48:46Geely.
48:47And this is also...
48:48It's like when Geely bought Volvo, the
48:50first thing they did was create, well,
48:51a separate brand into which they
48:53stuffed Volvo technology. Well, just
48:55cheaper.
48:56Yes. And then later, Zeekr peeled off
48:58from there at some point. And what
48:59about Polestar then? Polestar...
49:01Is Volvo. That's a part of Volvo that
49:04split off into a separate electric
49:05division. The most important thing is
49:07that it looks strange. You look at the
49:08Touring starting grid,
49:10there are Cherys,
49:11and there is Lynk&Co, this thing. So,
49:13like, you have, well, normal, evil
49:15gasoline cars on wide bodies and this
49:18thing in the middle of Audi RS3 LMSs,
49:20Leon Cupras, and so on. So, like a
49:22bunch of evil gasoline cars and Lynk&Co
49:24, and they are racing competitively
49:25there. They start from pole positions,
49:27from the front rows. This is doubly
49:28strange. At the exhaust.
49:30Well, it confirms that the Chinese can
49:32do it.
49:32Yes.
49:33Well, in the sense that it is quite
49:35possible that Chery will come to Le
49:36Mans and actually show something.
49:38We shall see. It will definitely be on
49:40fire.
49:45And that is definitely in 2025. That
49:48was the last piece of news from us.
49:49We’ll see you in twenty-six. I truly
49:52and sincerely hope that you spend these
49:54New Year holidays in the warmest, most
49:56pleasant, friendly, family-oriented,
49:57magnificent, and wonderful atmosphere
49:59possible. Raise a glass of champagne,
50:02say the warmest words to the warmest
50:04and closest people, and have a
50:06magnificent, pleasant evening and
50:08equally magnificent, pleasant days off.
50:11Recharge your energy for the new year.
50:14Oh, we’re going to work so hard.
50:15Don’t forget to rest. Most
50:17importantly, just really enjoy yourself
50:19with a sandwich and some caviar. I’m
50:21definitely going to eat a whole
50:22plateful. You know, for the longest
50:25time, at a certain age, my parents
50:27would always make these sandwiches, and
50:30I’d be like, "Ugh, gross." But I
50:33think when I was 15 or 16, there was
50:35one New Year's when I devoured a whole
50:36plate before the holiday even started
50:38and got into so much trouble, but I
50:40didn't regret a thing because it was so
50:42delicious. The next day I felt terrible
50:44, because eating that much butter, well
50:46, that’s never going to end well. But
50:48I have no regrets. It was really
50:49delicious. Do you remember watching
50:50cartoons after that,
50:51with the TV turned off? No, no. I have
50:54my own special New Year's thing. I
50:55watched Tom and Jerry throughout my
50:57entire childhood. The same cassette
50:58tape. I know it by heart. Maybe I’ll
51:01find it,
51:01and oh boy, what then?
51:05Toyota bB
51:08and Princess DC. Yeah.
51:10Most importantly, make sure there’s
51:11no way to escape grandma’s carrot
51:13salad. Thank you for being with us on
51:15the stream all this year. We’ve
51:17already hung out by this point. Just
51:19wanted to say one more time, we love
51:20you all very much and we work for you.
51:22Happy upcoming holidays. It’s a bit
51:24early for us right now. It’s actually
51:27September. You know when we film this.
51:30Just like all New Year's programs.
51:32Well, yeah.
51:33They get filmed in September or October
51:34.
51:35Yeah. I think we filmed the New Year's
51:36episode of "Razgon" back in October.
51:38And there are some New Year's shows
51:39that are filmed, no joke, in August. We
51:41are filming this in December.
51:43We’ll see you in the next year for
51:45sure. And you know the meeting place,
51:47right here on the main channel, and the
51:48Telegram channel isn't going anywhere.
51:50That’s it, bye.
51:52There was supposed to be a bumper here,
51:54but we ran out of money, so people just
51:56went clip-clop, clip-clop. Just so
52:00you’re in the loop. Pody-pody-shba.
52:03In the comments, they’ll say that for
52:05Stas to say "Happy New Year at midnight
52:07," you need to start watching this
52:09episode. You know,
52:10when the East hits that time, we'll go:
52:12"Happy New Year." Right now, in the
52:16edit, still
