So, this is the helmet
that I will race in this year's Italian Grand Prix.
The best feature about this helmet for this weekend
is that I will be able to take my mask off as soon as I'm wearing the helmet.
We cannot be too funny considering the performance after Belgium.
-Says who? -We. Because…
I think you should be funny if you look at our performance.
So, is that the credo for this weekend, "Don't laugh"?
-No! -No jokes?
Not again!
Ah, it's so frustrating!
I'll hang in there, but you know that you've messed up.
It's going to be a disaster.
Can we talk a little bit about the season so far?
It's been pretty difficult, right?
Why?
Grazie.
Netflix again? Oh my God.
Their rooms can't be smaller than ours.
Ferrari had bad seasons in the past, as well as this year.
Yes, we are in a difficult moment,
but Monza is a very historic Grand Prix.
Obviously, being in Italy, it's, uh, the one which counts.
-Is everything okay? -Yes, fine.
Let me say, you may lose a season,
but if you are winning Monza, at least you have saved your season.
I am going to read out some of the media questions.
-Yes. -This is a question from Vanzini.
What is the key word right now?
What do you suggest?
Well, the same as always.
No, I think determination is better.
Yes, I would say we have a lot of determination.
More than usual.
Yes.
Certainly, we understand that it's a very difficult moment,
but I think that the frustrations we've got, um,
we need to transform that into determination.
Certainly, we know what we need to improve.
I think there is no doubt.
What's important is to stay focused and really to try to work very hard
and to transform any frustration into determination.
Do you think it will be a bit like last year?
I think it will be a mess.
That's four post-races that I'm not speaking at all.
I think that Seb is a very experienced
four-times world champion,
but I think even for Seb, it's always a continuous learning process.
Charles is very young.
He is very fast.
He is very consistent.
He is good in battling,
defending, attacking.
So, in order to develop our team for this season,
there is not a number-one driver in Ferrari.
Okay, so, Charles,
when will you launch your clothing collection?
Seb has been with us a few years already.
I think we all love Seb
because he's part of our family,
but we felt the necessity to look ahead, to look forward.
It's like trying to create foundations for our long-term future.
Would it make you insecure somehow?
I heard that telling him so early
would have created a lot of difficulties.
But I think whatever were the concerns
people were raising were the wrong concerns.
Go on, Charles!
-Hey, guys. -Thank you, Charles.
You're number one, bro!
Go on, you're the best!
-Did you sleep well? -Very well.
Go on Charles, Ferrari!
Hello, thank you.
Go on, you're the best! Kick his ass!
Hi, guys. Thanks.
Hello. Hi. I'm sorry.
-Let's see what today has in store. -Let's see.
Don't send me into too much traffic.
Copy.
Seb. He overtook me now.
I don't understand why I went out in front of him.
Mode charge. Mode charge.
Track is clear behind.
-The car is so hard to drive. -Copy. Understood.
We aren't doing well on the long runs.
So difficult.
Ah, fuck's sake.
At the moment, you are P11.
We are so slow.
Best I can do.
The best I can do.
Any cars around me?
No, we are in a good slot.
Hamilton 3.3 in front.
Constant speed 200.
There was a chance to do better here.
For your info, there's a big traffic jam out there.
Let's talk about it after.
If you need to overtake people, we will.
A similar queue to that you had on your way back from holiday.
Is there a gap I can get through?
Too much traffic.
It will be mode push for last corner. Mode push.
Shit. What a mess.
-I guess that's it. -Yeah, it is. P17.
No.
I was in the middle of the mess, so there was no point to do it.
Yeah.
That's what it was, a very short day.
-The pole's above your head. -What?
You have a mic above your head.
But yeah, it's not easy.
I don't know how it will be tomorrow.
-Well, yeah, look at Vettel. -Yeah.
He didn't do the last lap.
It's okay, they can't read our lips.
No, but be careful, you have a mic above your head.
We missed many opportunities.
Certainly the pressure was there.
Obviously, the car is not as good as we would have wished.
I think Seb's got some difficulties with the car.
Lack of confidence.
And Charles' car was not performing.
No grip, so, you know, difficult to really be fast around the lap.
So, we had a poor Quali, very poor.
Honestly, I think there is a lot of bullshit around it.
-Yeah. -A lot of rumors.
It's very simple. There have been never a breach of regulations.
Let me know if you can go faster, question.
I don't think I can.
How was that?
They don't have the power that they had before, that's clear,
and they don't seem to be in a happy place at the moment.
Some of the team principals have suggested
that the 2019 car or engine wasn't legal.
Honestly, I don't think there is much to add.
The point is closed.
I'm having a romantic conversation with my girlfriend. You can't record this.
Okay. Okay.
We can see you now. Perfetto.
They are coming from there.
They are just there now, so if you want to film them…
Seb leaving Ferrari, what's going on there?
Let's hope he doesn't lose motivation.
Yes, we need to keep him focused.
As a team principal, my challenge certainly is
make sure that the external comments are not affecting the morale of the team.
It was a very difficult Quali.
I understand...
the disappointment of the people around,
but more important to stay focused.
Okay. Back of the grid.
And radio check.
Yeah. One, two, radio check okay.
Ferrari's not so good in the straight anymore.
-Unbelievable! -Fucking hell.
And radio check, Charles.
Radio check. Can you hear me?
Radio check.
Whoa. Wasn't plugged in.
No problem.
I think the emotion was going up.
The pressure was there.
No doubt.
Because we knew that Monza was important for us.
Russell, 0.7 behind.
Copy.
DRS enabled.
Vettel does not have DRS.
Yeah, copy.
And we are very hot on the left-hand side of the brakes.
Rear left.
Russell, 0.5 behind.
Distance!
Vettel has smoking from behind. I'm not sure if he's dropping oil.
-Something wrong, the rear left. -Copy.
You need to cool down the rears if you can.
Brakes failed. The brakes failed.
Brakes failed.
Oh God!
No more brake pedal. Brake line exploded.
I can bring the car back if you want.
We are always in the middle of any crisis.
For Seb, it has been certainly frustrating.
It's the most important race of the season
and I think that whoever is a Ferrari driver,
the dream is to win in Monza.
Gap to Räikkönen in front, 0.6.
Copy.
We need to close the gap. We need to close the gap now.
We are not where we expected to be. We are not where we want to be.
Try to maximize full throttle.
I'm…
I'm struggling, guys.
Are you okay?
Charles? Can you hear me?
Ah…
Fuck!
I'm sorry, but I… Honestly, I struggled so much
with the balance.
Fuck!
Sorry.
It was a difficult weekend which concluded even in the worst way.
Obviously, we are all unhappy and disappointed.
We are very united.
I don't think there is even tensions inside the team.
I think that I can feel the team behind me.
Very committed.
Now, it's down to us to prove that we are capable.
Ferrari has been always there since the very start.
Never stopping since 1950 when the F1 started.
I think whatever difficulties we've got at the moment,
it's important to celebrate
because we are celebrating an entire history
and a fantastic milestone.
And if you've got such a history, somehow you are special.
Okay, well, of course, the big news we all know now
that Sebastian has a seat and a team for next year and beyond.
And beyond?
-Big news this morning. -Good.
Good to have you around. We have done a post for you, saying…
No, not "Thank you, Silvia," it's all of us.
Now, in terms of the timing of the announcement, Sebastian.
We had quite a lot of people say,
"Sebastian, you know, announced this on this day,"
and everything.
Of course, we believe it was triggered by last night's announcement from Perez,
which came out so late. It was obviously a last-minute thing,
so this is our position when we get asked.
-Yeah. It's the truth as well. -Okay.
So, on my side,
I have some information about Saturday evening,
the event that we will have in Firenze.
It's mandatory, guys, to be sharp
because we will have a lot of important Ferrari family guests there,
so we cannot really be late.
I think Ferrari has always proved
to be capable of reacting to the difficulties.
We know that we need to turn that into determination.
We are still investing in the future, committed of creating solid foundations.
Ferrari is a legendary brand.
Ferrari have always been part of motor racing.
Ferrari is somehow unique, and Ferrari is a family.
And being a family, somehow, it's a passion.
We are a great team and we will develop the right car.
That's what makes me confident
that we can certainly do better in the future.
With the breakup, I am emotional.
I wanted to prove myself as a driver.
I deserve to go back to Red Bull.
Fuck yes!
