Lovella:

I think I only know that because in the movie Cars, it's like pit stop.

Movie Cars are probably going to help you a lot in this quiz.

Lovella:

Okay.

Steve:

I'll rely on that.

Steve:

All right.

Steve:

Well done.

Steve:

Question.

Steve:

number two. What is the name of the Italian team famous for red cars?

Steve:

What is the name? Yeah, what is the name? So you know how you told me before in my

Steve:

section, the McLaren was orange and blue? What team is red? Going the other way around,

Steve:

I'm giving you the color

Steve:

and you have to tell me the team

Steve:

what team is famous for red cars

Lovella:

Italy?

Steve:

no team

Lovella:

team?

Steve:

Steve:

you probably don't know too many teams do you?

Lovella:

no I don't know any teams

Steve:

I don't know

Steve:

don't know the answer

Lovella:

but is it Italy like the place?

Steve:

it's the Italian team yes

Steve:

it's an Italian team

Lovella:

so I'm right with that

Lovella:

okay what was the answer?

Steve:

Ferrari

Lovella:

oh

Lovella:

wait

Lovella:

wait hold up

Steve:

Ferrari

Lovella:

can you say the question again?

Steve:

sure

Steve:

What is the name of the team famous for red cars?

Lovella:

Oh, I didn't know Ferrari was like a team name and then it became a car.

Steve:

Yeah.

Steve:

That's what I'm saying.

Steve:

They're usually types of cars are the team names.

Steve:

They're not all like that because there is like Red Bull is a team.

Lovella:

Isn't that a drink?

Steve:

It's a drink, yeah.

Steve:

But it's also a team.

Lovella:

So are you telling me that most of these stores that I go to are named after F1 cars?

Steve:

No.

Lovella:

Who's the Sephora team?

Steve:

No, there is no Sephora team.

Steve:

These are all sponsors.

Steve:

Usually sponsors sponsor a car and a team.

Lovella:

Okay.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

Well, all right.

Steve:

You've learned something though, Lovella, haven't you?

Steve:

Ferrari is red.

Lovella:

I knew Ferraris was red, but I just didn't think of your question the same

Steve:

because I didn't know Ferraris was a team name.

Steve:

All right.

Steve:

All right.

Steve:

Question number three.

Steve:

This one's a multiple choice, Lovella.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

What fuel do Formula One cars use?

Lovella:

Oh, okay.

Lovella:

Okay.

Steve:

A, gas or petrol.

Steve:

B, diesel.

Steve:

Or C, jet fuel.

Steve:

What fuel do Formula One cars use?

Steve:

A, gas.

Steve:

B, diesel.

Steve:

Or C, jet fuel.

Lovella:

Okay.

Lovella:

Okay, so I don't think it's diesel because I've never heard of that before.

Steve:

Okay.

Lovella:

And that just doesn't sound right, you know?

Steve:

All right.

Steve:

So it leaves you with gas or jet fuel.

Steve:

Do you know what those are?

Steve:

What is gas?

Lovella:

Gas is what powers a car.

Steve:

That's what we put in our car?

Lovella:

That's what we put in our car.

Steve:

Okay, and what's jet fuel?

Lovella:

Jet fuel is used on jets like airplanes and everything.

Steve:

Right.

Lovella:

So I don't know.

Steve:

But these are very fast cars.

Lovella:

Very fast cars.

Lovella:

So maybe it is jet fuel because then you go really fast and planes go pretty fast.

Steve:

They do.

Lovella:

But then again, gas is also like, I think that's mainly used for cars.

Lovella:

This is so annoying.

Lovella:

This is so hard.

Lovella:

What do you think?

Lovella:

What is your answer?

Lovella:

I'm just going to say gas.

Lovella:

I'm going to say gas.

Steve:

You are correct.

Lovella:

Yes.

Steve:

Well done.

Steve:

Oh my gosh.

Steve:

Thank goodness.

Steve:

You got it right.

Steve:

All right.

Steve:

Let's go.

Steve:

So you're two on the board then, right?

Steve:

Nice.

Steve:

So you're doing all right, Lovella?

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

Last question for you.

Steve:

Here we go.

Steve:

What is the name of the car that slows the race during an incident?

Lovella:

An ambulance?

Lovella:

I don't know.

Steve:

So sometimes when they're doing Formula 1 races and there might be a crash

Steve:

or someone skids out or something like that.

Steve:

Someone has a little crash.

Lovella:

There's a little car.

Steve:

A car comes out with a light siren.

Lovella:

And it slows down the other cars.

Steve:

That's right.

Steve:

What's that car called?

Lovella:

In case of a magic tree car that goes around the track with a light

Lovella:

and stops the other cars.

Steve:

Not quite.

Steve:

It's a very long name for it.

Lovella:

I like that name.

Steve:

You like that name?

Lovella:

I don't think I'm going to get this.

Steve:

All right.

Steve:

What do you think?

Steve:

What is the name?

Steve:

of the car that slows the race during an incident.

Lovella:

This is so hard.

Steve:

Jerry.

Lovella:

Well, you said what's the name?

Steve:

They call it Jerry?

Lovella:

Yeah.

Steve:

Look over on Jerry's come out onto the track.

Lovella:

Quick.

Lovella:

Or no, I'd like to call it Bob.

Steve:

Slow down, everyone.

Steve:

Bob.

Steve:

Bob's made it onto the track.

Lovella:

Okay, what's like...

Steve:

No, it's not a name necessarily.

Lovella:

I don't think I'm going to get this.

Steve:

Yeah, okay.

Steve:

It is the safety car.

Steve:

Oh.

Steve:

I think it is also called the pace car.

Lovella:

That makes sense.

Lovella:

Safety cars.

Lovella:

That's very simple.

Lovella:

I should have gotten that.

Lovella:

That's okay.
