[Walsh] Hope isn't a strategy.
We've gone backwards.
The brand cries out for more performance.
I mean, we did go backwards last year. No denying.
[Stallard]
Not the race we wanted, to be honest.
[Ricciardo groans]
[tense music plays]
[commentator 1] really wrestling that McLaren.
[Joseph]
[Norris] No one's gonna like being where we are, so far back.
In Formula 1, if you're not moving forwards, you're going backwards.
And… And all the headlines became driver related.
It was interesting though.
There was a lot of discussion that it was purely drivers.
What was really going on there?
[tense music continues]
Daniel Ricciardo has been axed by McLaren.
[reporter] by 21-year-old young gun Oscar Piastri.
[tense music continues]
-[Walsh] We knew we had to make changes. -Yeah.
But the important thing is,
having made those changes,
this season, we've gotta show real progress.
Uh, first of all, we all feel the pressure. We have some fixing to do.
But I've got a lot of confidence in this team.
I think we need to give them some… some time.
Things don't happen overnight.
It's got to work.
[wheel guns whirring]
[engine revs]
[tense music fades]
[Norris] I want the rice cakes. Then can I have some water?
Wow.
Season six.
All right.
It's gonna be a… a fun year.
[producer] That was terrible. One more.
[Norris laughs and sighs]
[producer] Did you break it?
[funky music plays]
[Brown] See you later. Cheers.
Launch days are always fun.
And long.
[man] And long.
[Norris] Every season you start, you get excited.
You're like, "Maybe this is the year that we can turn things around,
and I can be in that position where I'm standing on the podium more often
and fighting against Ferrari and Red Bull, fighting against Mercedes."
I'm excited to see how things go.
We've had a lot of changes within the team.
[funky music continues]
[music fades]
[woman 1] Can you go in the side door?
[Norris] Oscar Piastri.
Uh, another Aussie.
He's probably got one of the best CVs out of any young driver
almost ever coming into Formula 1.
For a day-one car launch, 6 a.m. call time,
I'll forgive a couple of minutes late because that's quite brutal, I appreciate.
-[Piastri] Morning. -[woman 2] Morning.
Right, we're just in here.
[Piastri] Has Lando rocked up yet or…
[woman 1] He has, yeah.
And he did make a point that he beat you. Arrived before you.
[both laugh]
-[man] -[woman 1] Morning.
[Brown] What's going on? Glad you could join us.
[Piastri] Sorry I'm late.
[laughter]
[Norris] I'm gonna be the veteran.
I'm the old guy. He's the young guy.
It's the first time in my career I've kind of had that sort of pressure.
…in F1 with McLaren.
Um, I've been building up to it, and like you said…
Oscar's quite tall, huh?
Your apprentice.
He doesn't look tall, but he is tall.
…so it's been really good. Everyone's been really welcoming.
[Norris] He's only, like, 15.
Where do you want us?
We have a new driver lineup this year.
Super excited to have Oscar. Uh, 22 years old.
Uh, very mature, very smart, very fast.
Oh, hello.
And, uh, I'm excited to see he and Lando, uh, racing each other hard
and pushing our team forward.
To be an F1 driver, it's, uh, a very exciting prospect,
and, you know, definitely pinching myself
because it's something I couldn't have dreamed of,
uh, even a couple of years ago.
[Stella] Welcome to the private team reveal of our car.
Right. Show us the MCL60, please.
[Buxton] Coming into 2023, Zak has everything he wants.
From a driver perspective,
he has two young future world champions at his team.
But the worry is he doesn't have the car.
[applause]
[Brown] Hello.
I love the offseason.
Uh, it's a great-looking car.
Um, we still have work to do, as… as we know,
so as much as I'd like to sit here and go,
"This is the championship contender,"
we're, uh, still a little bit aways from that.
We have some concerns over our race car, especially some of the data we're seeing.
We know we're not where we want to be and we've missed some of our targets,
so I am concerned coming into the start of the year,
but we'll take some time to fix that.
Time to get the show on the road in Bahrain.
Let's go racing.
[applause]
Car looks bitchin'.
McLaren cannot recover this in the short-term.
It's going to take time. It's going to take months.
[Norris] The floor's the same as last year, isn't it?
That's bigger. That's about all I can see that's different.
Yeah.
[Buxton] The question mark for Zak is
how are you gonna keep two ambitious drivers loyal and committed
when you're launching a car
and you're telling everyone,
"We're not going to be competitive until at least halfway through the season"?
[applause]
[Norris laughs]
[woman] Were you happy with the launch?
[Norris] If we can do more than three laps in a row, we've made a step forward.
-[laughs] -[Norris] That was a joke. I'm joking.
I remember my first car launch.
-Been there, done that. -Yeah.
Cut to Bahrain.
[tense music plays]
Starting your F1 career, it's exciting. It's very nerve-wracking as well.
But it's something you've dreamed of since you were a little kid.
It all comes down to… to that moment.
[Stallard]
-[García] -
Going into my first race of the year, there's a lot of pressure on.
Before you know it, you're on the grid.
[commentator 1] means that it is finally time.
[Norris] Hard racing, the lights are coming on, the revs coming up.
[tense music builds]
And you're like, "Shit. This is real."
[commentator 2] and away we go!
[exciting music plays]
[Norris] What's wrong with my car?
[Joseph] managing an issue. Box now, box now.
[commentator 3] an engine problem.
[dramatic music plays]
[commentator 1] trying to score points on debut.
[Piastri] I've lost the gearbox.
[Stallard]
Oscar, we'll box this lap and swap the steering wheel.
[tense music plays]
[Piastri] I've still got nothing.
[commentator 4] What a start.
What a miserable first grand prix for Oscar Piastri.
[Norris] Fucking hell.
[Joseph]
[commentator 1] is really struggling.
[commentator 4] for the fifth time!
[Joseph] Twenty-five to 30 seconds.
[Norris] Whoa.
[commentator 1] the Bahrain Grand Prix
to lead home a Red Bull one-two,
and they will take some beating this year.
[commentator 4]
And Piastri doesn't even finish his debut race.
I do one little thing. I under rotate. Fucking corner, giving up.
Knife-edge.
Like, it's… it's still…
As soon as I do one thing wrong, it's just garbage.
I think every team goes into every new season filled with hope.
And if your car is not where you want it to be…
your heart just sinks.
'Cause you know it's going to be the hardest of years.
[Brown] There's Lando.
And? Same as last year?
Similar limitations, basically.
Yeah.
Similar issues. Similar problems.
[Brown] All right.
We'll keep pushing.
At every single point in your career as a driver,
you think, "I need this year to go really well."
You don't feel like you ever have a year to burn.
There's never a point in time as a driver where you're thinking,
"Oh, no problem."
Like, "I'll be happy to wait the rest of the season,
or until next year, or a few more months for this to go well."
You need a good car now.
I might just walk into Red Bull and steal their car.
-[man] Yeah? Okay. -[Norris] Just steal their front wing.
-[man] They won't care, will they? -[Norris] Pick it up, walk straight out.
Is it too soon to call it a crisis?
I know we're far from where we wanna be.
Um, but we have a very clear plan, uh, what we need and want to achieve.
[Norris] Guys, something's not right with the front end.
I got too much understeer.
[tense music plays]
[commentator 2] last in the Constructors Championship,
and not doing much tonight
to get themselves off the bottom of the table, it seems.
[commentator 1] for Lando Norris,
a phenomenally talented driver.
[Buxton] It's been clear for a long time
that Lando Norris is the focal point of this team.
That he's their future.
But when you consider how poor the car is that he's been given,
how long until he tries to find a way out?
[Horner] Lando's one of the most talented drivers on the grid.
In the right car, he would be a winning driver. No doubt of that.
Can his career take another year of being in the doldrums?
A driver's career has a finite amount of time to it,
and he needs to make the right decisions for him at the end of the day.
We'd certainly be interested in him.
If he's delivering, he's not gonna be short of choices.
He's gotta make sure he makes the right choice.
[upbeat music plays]
Yeah, it's huge, huh?
How cool is that?
[music stops]
-[Brown] How are you? -Good.
-Good luck. -Thank you.
What's going on?
Coming into Miami, I think Zak has every reason to be worried.
Because those clamors
for Lando Norris's signature
are only going to get louder.
[Williams] People in F1 love to see other teams' weaknesses.
If team principals see the cracks and they think,
"Lando Norris might be available,"
you know, his head might be turned by a phone call from Christian Horner.
And why wouldn't it be?
[Horner] I admire Lando's loyalty to McLaren,
but, at some point, that will wear thin.
I think he would fit in our environment longer term.
Uh, he and Max have a good respect and good relationship together.
So you could see that being a combination that could work.
[both laugh]
[reporter] Zak, great to see you. Thanks for joining us.
[Brown] Good to be here.
[reporter] What's all this talk about having to say, "Lando is with us to stay"?
Doesn't that seem too early?
Yeah, it's very early.
But, you know, people get asked a question and, uh, speculate.
You have a bad two races,
and, "Oh my God. He's off to another team."
A lot of times in this sport, people will put certain rumors out
to try and, uh, put fractures into relationships
to destabilize, uh, teams and… and drivers.
-Thank you very much, Zak. -You're welcome. See you later. Cheers.
I just wanna make sure Lando stays focused and that we block out all the nonsense
that, uh, some of our competitors like to create.
[woman] I think this will be quite quick.
The first order of business is obviously
it's not as bad as it looks after the first races.
I think that's quite important.
As a team, we wanna improve the performance.
-We know we're not where we need to be. -Yeah.
And I think that's probably as deep a level as you need to get into it.
The only other thing to flag is on Lando's contract.
So Zak got asked specifically outright by Sky if there was any exit clauses,
to which we said no.
I'm probably dead by the time your contract is up.
[woman] Yeah. Just avoid it.
Um, just anything that you can say again
which is just… cementing that, as a team, we're knuckling down.
We're not listening to any noise going on in the media.
-We're just focused on our journey. -Contract or not, we're all on a mission.
That's it.
Um, any other questions or concerns from your side?
[both drivers] No.
[woman] Zak, do you have anything else you want to add just from your side?
-No. -[woman] Cool. Let's have a good one.
[Piastri] Yeah.
[woman] Are you gonna be in your room, Lando?
I shall be, yeah.
[Norris] At times I would love to know
what it's like to be in other people's positions.
I think, like, "Hmm."
"What would happen if I went here?" Or, "What if I went there?"
I guess I think of those things. Who wouldn't think of those?
Every driver has conversations with as many people as they can
to give themselves options.
I should be in a better car, but I'm not.
Things are always shit, you know.
It's rare you get one driver that sticks with the same team their whole career.
If you were a betting man, would you say you'd still be there next year?
[Norris] Um…
-[man chuckles] That's a bit of a no. -No comment.
There's no smoke without fire in Formula 1.
These rumors exist because the interest is there.
To be Max's teammate in the future would be something I'm definitely up for.
The pressure on Zak will be building.
-[man 1] Better. Better now. -[man 2] Nice.
[Brown] What's up, dude?
-Get some warm-up. -One sec.
Someone tell you we were going bowling or are those golf shoes?
[Norris] Lovely golf shoes.
[Brown laughs]
-[Brown] Cool. Game on. -[man] Good luck. Let's play.
[Brown] Nice drive.
Oh, that's not good!
I'm not in the water.
[man] Went over the water.
Yeah. Other side. Next to the alligators.
Let's see if I can find it.
How we gonna go in Miami?
I don't know.
We're so slow on the straight.
[Brown] So look, I know this year's a tough start.
-[Norris] Yeah. -But, um, the car not being fast enough,
I would imagine it is
pretty frustrating.
[Norris] Yeah. Like, we're McLaren, right?
So… we should be a team that's fighting Ferrari and…
[Brown] Yeah.
…Red Bull, Mercedes.
-Like, we should be up there leading them. -Yeah. No, I get it.
[Norris] So when we come into a season, and it's a bit,
you know, we're not gonna be fighting for top, you know, four teams…
-Yeah. -…it's tough.
[Brown] We need to give you a better race car.
I know there's been a lot of noise,
but we've been doing this now together seven, eight years?
I think we'll, uh, we'll get there, and then it'll be so much more sweet.
Let's beat all those guys.
I'll do my best, as always.
Let's hope our racing's better than our golf.
[laughs] 100%!
[both laugh]
[Norris] I can't imagine what it's like to be in Zak's position.
You know, running McLaren. Um… Of course, it's…
There has to be a huge amount of pressure that comes with it.
Shit, that went much further than I thought.
[Norris] But when you put so much effort into it,
and the best you can do is, like, a 17th or 18th,
it feels like you're racing for nothing.
Fuck. This is quicker than our car, this.
[tense music plays]
[team member 1] We should put those in there.
[team member 2] It's like we've done it before.
[tense music continues]
This, by any metric,
has been a horrible start to the season for McLaren.
Do the drivers want to stay and race for you?
Do the sponsors want to hang around?
With where McLaren are now, Zak's hoping for a miracle.
[Brown] All good.
Good luck. Yeah?
Let's… We'll need it.
[commentator 4] to go racing in the USA.
From Miami in Florida,
welcome to the fifth round of the Formula 1 World Championship.
[chanting] Red Bull! Red Bull! Red Bull!
Red Bull! Red Bull!
[Brown] Fucking hell. We need points.
[commentator 1]
Everybody's turned up, everybody's looking excited.
Cars are on the grid. We're getting close.
[commentator 4] There's Lando Norris down in 16th.
He will desperately be looking for a turnaround in fortunes here today.
Oscar Piastri starting on the back row in 19th.
How must he be feeling about his awkward debut season?
[García]
All good.
-[Stallard] -[Piastri] Cheers.
[suspenseful music plays]
[Norris] I got hit. Rear.
[Joseph] everything looks okay.
Sargeant is now ahead of you.
Early overtake available.
[Norris] Yeah. I'm… I'm trying.
[tense music plays]
-[Norris] I can't get past him. -
[commentator 1] it's going to be a long afternoon.
[commentator 2] down the back straight,
Pérez puts his car to the middle of the track.
[commentator 4]
Verstappen round the outside. He's done it. He's got back in front.
[tense music continues]
[Verstappen] Do I just keep it up for now?
[Lambiase] You've got Piastri ahead.
[Stallard] is Verstappen. That's the race leader.
[commentator 1] to the Red Bull.
The car, in another league!
It's an uphill battle if you're driving a McLaren right now.
[Becker] and he's currently struggling.
You are much quicker than him.
[tense music plays]
[Norris groans]
[Norris] Fucking hell. We clearly don't have the pace of the cars around.
I don't know what race I'm in at the minute.
[Joseph] but this is a good place for us.
It's just a patience game.
[Norris] Ha ha. Okay.
LOL.
[commentator 2] approaches the checkered flag.
He wins the Miami Grand Prix.
It's another one-two for Red Bull.
[commentator 1] for McLaren, finishing 17th and 19th.
[Stallard] that was not the afternoon we wanted.
[Piastri] Yeah. Just struggled for pace.
[Norris] Felt pretty terrible, but best we could do today.
I'm not suggesting it may look bad. I'm suggesting it is bad.
[Horner] I think Zak's under pressure.
Inevitably, Formula 1's a pressure business.
If you're not delivering, you're under pressure.
He's been talking a big game.
When you don't deliver and you get found out,
that's embarrassing, and it hurts.
The drivers, it's tough for them.
When we see drivers in Formula 1, you… you tend to forget
that the journey started when they were five or six years old.
And this sport is all about winning.
Lando can win.
If the car is capable of winning, from a talent point of view,
uh, absolutely.
[reporter] There goes Lando.
[Norris] I don't have time.
[Patrick] It's a tough one in racing.
The loyalty that you have with your team and the passion to win.
Um, but if the right opportunity comes knocking…
sometimes you just go.
-[Russell yawns] -[Norris] I love an early morning.
Oh, fucking hell. We've got a McLaren logo on the side of a jet.
Let's go.
-[Russell] This is really nice. Wow. -[Norris] Yeah, mate. It's frickin' mint.
[Russell] Silky.
-Need to have a word with Toto. -[laughs] Yeah.
-Okay? -[Russell] We good?
How are you? Very good, and you?
-[Norris] Let's go out tonight. -Out out?
[Norris] Joking. I'd never do such a thing.
[Russell] It was in my Williams contract.
You weren't allowed to drink during the weekend.
Not gonna say names, but there's definitely some people who drink.
-[Norris] You think? -I know!
[chuckles] I've seen it.
-During a normal race weekend? -[Russell] Yeah!
They're paying me off not to… not to tell.
-Not you, Lando. -Oh! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Russell] Yeah. I was rewatching, um, Miami.
-[Norris] We were so bad. -Yeah, you… [laughs]
-Like, we were last. -Yeah. I didn't wanna say it, but yeah.
I mean, it was bad, wasn't it?
Horrendous.
-That's every weekend, man. -[Russell] I know.
And away we go.
[Norris] This is the worst start to any season I've had.
I wanna be the best driver there is in Formula 1.
That's why I started my whole journey.
Hi. I'm Lando Norris. I'm European champion,
and I race KF-Junior.
[older Norris] This is what we're born to do, what we've grown up
spending pretty much our whole life trying to achieve.
I need to be stronger.
Um, and not make so many mistakes.
[older Norris] I'm in that position that I saw on TV and dreamt of being in.
[tense music plays]
[Brown] Lando and I go back a long way. Prior to McLaren.
First time I met Lando, he was a small 14-year-old.
He and his father came in, and he was very nice.
He was very shy, as you would expect a 14-year-old.
He was very fast.
I think the first time he drove a race car,
it was probably mine.
The dream is to win world championships together.
So if we fall short of that and see him do that in someone else's car,
that would be personally quite disappointing.
You know, we've done so much together.
[Norris] My goal is to win races.
I would love to create the story
and finish the story and everything with McLaren.
I really would love that.
Sometimes, you gotta make decisions that are the best for you and your career.
If you wanna achieve success, if you wanna win races, win championships,
sometimes things have to change, as much as you don't want them to.
[man] Hearing rumors around Lando.
You know, given the performance, the driver rumors…
We thought it might be useful to come together.
I mean, it's been a… tough start to the season.
I think just… we just need to take back the… the story to the team.
Look, I know you're concerned,
and you have reason to be concerned.
[Rafique] Look, Zak, you know I support you.
I support the team. But this is our biggest sponsorship.
We're getting a lot of questions asked internally.
"Was this the right move?"
"How long does the performance stay at this level?"
I know you placed, um, a few big bets.
And this is a big one. And it needs to, uh, pay off.
And we need to get results for you.
[Buxton] Zak's got a lot of questions to answer right now.
Sponsors, they're gonna want to see that step up the ladder
towards the competitive,
consistently performing edge that Zak will have promised them.
-Good. See you guys later. -Bye, Zak.
[Buxton] They will want a guarantee Lando Norris is going nowhere.
[tense music plays]
[Brown] Morning.
You know, we're under big pressure, um…
Everyone's expected a much stronger season.
Emotionally, it… it makes you frustrated.
Uh, makes you angry.
But also, at the end of the day, you gotta fix the problem,
so what I am is highly motivated to fix the problem.
-Morning, guys. -Morning, Zak.
All good?
How, uh… How are we coming along with the upgrades?
[man] Well, development is going well.
Um, but the redesign of the car is, um,
kind of bigger than what we anticipated,
because, uh, we are redesigning underneath
quite a lot of the mechanical part.
So it is a big undertaking for the team.
There's also, from a mechanical point of view,
some risks associated with having redesigned the car so much.
And, obviously, there's the reliability.
The reliability aspect with the redesign.
[Brown] Yeah.
So, due for Silverstone, you reckon?
Um, we are working hard to have two cars in Silverstone.
Fingers crossed, yes.
There's still, uh, a few challenges that we need to overcome
to actually deliver,
physically, the project on track.
-We will see soon. -Yep. Thanks, guys.
[Williams] The likelihood of a team being able to turn around their performance
to any kind of significant degree
during a season,
I can't tell you how difficult it is.
It's pretty much unheard of.
[Brown] I always have worries.
I know the consequences for us not performing.
If you don't perform, you're not gonna have top-line drivers that wanna race.
If I don't deliver,
I think we all know what happens.
[Paul] Just tell me where we're at because,
you know, it hasn't been
the most impressive start.
[Brown] I think we started slower than I'd anticipated.
How do the drivers feel?
Pretty frustrated.
I think Lando more than… than Oscar.
I… I get it. I'm frustrated.
Uh, partners are frustrated. Everyone's frustrated.
Realistically,
what if these upgrades don't deliver?
[Brown] We'll have
pretty upset drivers
that we'll need to manage.
It's not lost on me
where we're at right now.
-You gotta keep the pressure on everyone. -[Brown] Yep.
Uh, I don't wanna be brutal,
but we… we need to deliver.
-Yeah. -We've put a lot of investment.
-We need to see the results. -[Brown] Yeah.
Loud and clear.
[upbeat music plays]
[commentator 4] British World Championship Grand Prix
is all set to take place on the Silverstone circuit
in the heart of the United Kingdom.
[fan 1] Lando!
-[fan 2] Lando! -[fan 3] A selfie?
[fan 4] Lando!
-Thanks. Good luck today. -Thank you.
[camera shutters clicking]
[photographer] Can you get out either side of that thing?
-What's that? -[photographer] You get out either side?
-It's not easy. -[man] No, I saw that.
[all laughing]
[Brown] What are they gonna say in the press conference?
There'll be a little bit about, uh,
the progress that we've made with upgrades.
[Brown] Yeah.
[team member] That's of huge interest to the media at the moment.
Being a team boss when you're not scoring points, it's horrific.
I can't describe the pressure and what it feels like.
You've got the media writing stories.
TV cameras on you.
[Brown] We're showing up. We wanna move forward, not backwards.
And then everyone that works for you looks to you for change,
and you've gotta deliver it.
[Brown] This is a defining moment
for us to prove to the world, to ourselves, our drivers,
that we're turning this team around.
We've tried to improve the car
in the areas in which we know we have weaknesses.
But you start to beg the question of, you know, how good are the upgrades?
[Norris] Success is your motivator.
So when you don't have any of it, it's extremely tough.
You've kinda just gotta have faith in your own abilities
and the team.
Maybe this car's… decent, you know?
Maybe we've turned a corner here.
But it could be that it's the complete opposite.
[tense music plays]
[Piastri] There's always pressure.
When things are not going as well as you hoped,
the pressure is… is even higher.
[tense music continues]
[Brown] I feel very responsible for everything that happens at McLaren.
At the end of the day, the buck stops with me.
[commentator 2] at the end of the pit lane,
and we can get underway.
[Bono]
[commentator 4] on his home track?
[Bono]
[Hamilton] We're so slow.
[commentator 4]
And Verstappen goes fastest.
[Lambiase]
[cheering]
[commentator 1] Lando Norris can pull out of the bag.
[García] It's now or never time.
Yeah, loud and clear.
[tense music plays]
[García]
[tense music continues]
-Come on! -Come on, lad.
[García] Keep the speed up.
Here we go, then.
[García]
-[cheering] -[commentator 2]
Lando Norris gets second position.
[García] Great drive. Very good.
[Norris] Yeah, baby!
[dramatic music plays]
[commentator 2] goes third fastest for McLaren!
Yeah!
[dramatic music continues]
Yeah!
[Stallard]
Well done, buddy.
[Piastri] Well done, everyone. Not bad at all.
[cheering and applause]
[man] Yes!
-[Brown] Was he watching? -Oh yeah.
Yeah, he will be. Yeah.
-There you go. -That was good, eh?
-Well done. -That was good.
Zak will celebrate this like a win.
But it's only Qualifying.
That's one lap.
The only true barometer
is the race.
And the drivers know that.
Do you think a podium is on the cards, Lando, at all?
-Um, on pure performance, no. -Right. Okay.
[Norris] Got P2, but then the race is a different story.
[reporter 1] This is supposed to be your most major upgrade.
How optimistic are you about it?
I never get my hopes up, so…
[reporter 2] 'Cause you've had too many false dawns?
You've had too many false dawns?
Yeah.
[reporter 3] Cheers, Lando.
[Brown] The performance in Qualifying was awesome.
But we need to validate that in a race.
Have we made the upgrade, the step forward that we think we have?
Now we need to close the deal.
-[Joseph] -Yeah, loud and clear.
-[Stallard] -[Piastri] Cheers.
[Norris] P2 in front of my home crowd.
Big day for us as a team.
We're a bit in the unknown of how well we could do.
[Piastri] I'm starting third on the grid.
But the car honestly doesn't feel that much different.
When you compare it against other people, you really see the difference.
[commentator 4] quick off the line into that first corner.
[Norris] Yeah, baby!
[commentator 2] leads the British Grand Prix!
[Norris] Let's fucking go!
-Come on! -Yeah! Let's go!
[cheering]
[commentator 4]
-[Norris] Gap? -[García]
[tense music plays]
[García]
[commentator 2] on the inside,
takes the lead of the British Grand Prix.
Oscar Piastri currently running in sixth place.
[Stallard]
[Loos]
[tense music continues]
[commentator 4] Oscar Piastri is up into fifth.
Yeah!
[Stallard] Keep this pace, keep going.
[Piastri] Copy.
[tense music plays]
[García] Hamilton behind you.
How is the pace?
-[Norris] I'm happy. It's consistent. -[García]
[commentator 5] looks very comfortable.
[Joseph]
So just best pace to the end now. You're doing a great job.
[Slade]
[Magnussen] Engine died.
[Slade]
[commentator 1] an engine problem for Kevin Magnussen.
[Stallard] Magnussen stopped on track.
[Piastri] Copy.
-[García] -Wonderful.
[commentator 2] which means the field will bunch up.
This offers the likes of Mercedes
a little bit of a… a way back in.
[Joseph] very close at the restart.
[Norris] Yeah, yeah.
I know.
[Norris] I'm in the worst position I could possibly be in.
With ten laps to go,
if there's any driver I don't want behind me, it's Lewis.
Fifteen years ago, I was watching Lewis doing this race.
Now I'm in that position racing against him.
If I make one mistake now, it's game over.
[García] Safety car in this lap.
[tense music plays]
[commentator 2] Safety car's in.
We can get going.
Lando Norris might have been a touch slow to react,
and Hamilton is right on him.
[tense music plays]
[García]
[tense music continues]
[Bono]
[tense music continues]
[commentator 2] from Lando Norris.
-[Norris] Gap? -[García]
[tense music continues]
[music fades]
[tense music resumes]
[commentator 2] defending absolutely brilliantly,
keeps Lewis Hamilton at bay.
That McLaren is fast in a straight line.
[Bono]
[García]
[Norris] Woo!
Awesome! Woo! [laughs]
[García]
[Norris] Podium in my home race.
Podium in our home race.
[commentator 2] in second place with Lando Norris.
[Bono] Just too strong for us.
Hey, that McLaren's a rocket ship.
[Stallard]
[commentator 2] comes home fourth for his best result.
[Piastri] Thank you for all the hard work. Thanks for all the updates.
We're back, baby.
Let's go get 'em!
[commentator 4] What a brilliant weekend for them!
Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Come on, baby!
[Brown] Yes!
[laughs]
Yes!
[Brown] To have both our guys right up at the front was awesome.
Never in doubt, never in doubt!
And to think here we are after the season we had is… is phenomenal.
We've earned it. We've done it the hard way.
And so it is, I think, to a certain extent,
more fulfilling than if we started the season strong.
All right, let's go to a podium!
Let's go see my boy Lando!
-[man] Good job, Zak. -[Brown] Thank you.
Let's go see him!
Dude, I didn't wait this long to walk to the podium!
[laughter]
[Brown] Excuse me.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Excuse me.
[Brown sighs and laughs]
How'd you like those hard tires, man?
[Brown laughs]
Finishing second in Silverstone was one of the best days of my life.
Like, without a question.
[uplifting music plays]
[cheering]
Emotional, just 'cause it's a lot of stress and relief
for everyone.
Yeah! Woo!
I can literally picture it all so perfectly.
And we did what we needed to do.
We put ourselves back on the map as a team.
I have no idea what it's like to win a Formula 1 race.
Um, 'cause I've never done it.
[photographer] One, two, three.
[all cheer]
Gonna just bide my time,
but, uh, I know my time's coming.
It's definitely gonna come, yeah. 100%.
Not here to be last.
-[Hülkenberg] Engine's gone. -What the fuck?
Williams have taken a massive gamble on a new team principal.
When you get data right, that's how you move forward.
[Urwin]
[Steiner] Williams, boom, from nowhere. We need to do something different here.
[Buxton] Ferrari wanted a new direction, and Fred represents that.
[commentator 2] and somehow they avoid contact.
That could have been awful for Ferrari.
Watching your two drivers battle on the track,
the TP needs to tell their drivers, "Dial it down a bit."
