1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,120
- Say "love you."
-Love you.
2
00:00:11,420 --> 00:00:12,340
Bye.
3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:14,980
Silverstone...
4
00:00:20,940 --> 00:00:23,740
I love Silverstone. I just love it.
5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,260
I think there's something incredibly
spiritual almost about Silverstone.
6
00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:30,960
It really holds a very special place
in my heart.
7
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,060
I want to have my ashes
spread at Silverstone.
8
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:35,280
You know that, don't you?
9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,600
I do now.
10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,080
-I thought I told you.
- No.
11
00:00:40,820 --> 00:00:42,120
I think Dad does as well.
12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,060
Over my childhood,
I really understood how famous my dad was,
13
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,560
and how big Williams was.
14
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,760
It's just been the venue of so many
historic moments for our team.
15
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,880
That was our heyday.
16
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,380
Dad's always been my hero.
17
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:12,640
Dad's got two laps to try
and convince you to come to Williams.
18
00:01:18,460 --> 00:01:19,900
He is Williams.
19
00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:23,340
I don't wanna disgrace the Williams name.
20
00:01:23,380 --> 00:01:26,740
I don't want Williams to fall apart
under my watch.
21
00:01:27,660 --> 00:01:30,920
We have a fighting spirit,
and it's really being put to the test,
22
00:01:31,780 --> 00:01:33,960
but I can tell you it's 100% back.
23
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,520
Ladies and gentlemen, please put it
together for Claire Williams.
24
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,480
-That's like it. You got that?
- I did.
25
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,060
Lovely. Thrilled to bits.
26
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,240
-You're the best.
27
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,560
- Bless you, Clairy.
- See you later.
28
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,620
-Silverstone.
- Yeah.
29
00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:19,620
I'm deputy team principal,
30
00:02:19,660 --> 00:02:23,240
which has really turned into
de facto team principal.
31
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,320
My dad's taken a step back
in the past few years,
32
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,520
and so really, I operate
as the team principal.
33
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,060
Morning, Gwen. How are you doing?
34
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,720
I'm responsible for making sure
35
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,820
that we've got the right people
in the right jobs,
36
00:02:41,860 --> 00:02:44,000
with the right equipment to do those jobs.
37
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,620
And to make sure that this is a great
environment for people to work in.
38
00:02:47,660 --> 00:02:49,480
I'm very protective over it.
39
00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:52,680
Obviously, it's very close to my heart.
40
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,680
I'm sorry I didn't make it down.
It was a busy day yesterday.
41
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,700
Was it? I was looking forward
to you coming down.
42
00:02:59,260 --> 00:03:02,320
Williams is
in a very difficult place at the moment.
43
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,280
Last year was pretty horrific.
44
00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:12,580
We just got it wrong.
45
00:03:12,620 --> 00:03:14,180
We designed a bad race car.
46
00:03:17,140 --> 00:03:18,360
And we've gotta fix it.
47
00:03:20,060 --> 00:03:21,420
Jack. Okay?
48
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:25,220
-That was all of it.
-It's not your lunchbreak, as usual.
49
00:03:25,260 --> 00:03:27,000
-Jeremy settle down.
- No, it's not.
50
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,560
I actually found you
doing some work.
51
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,220
Whoa!
52
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,620
Straight in there, on Netflix.
53
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:36,100
- Thank you, Paddy.
54
00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:37,940
It's gonna be
Paddy's comedy special.
55
00:03:37,980 --> 00:03:38,820
Yeah.
56
00:03:39,860 --> 00:03:41,600
My name is Paddy Lowe.
57
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,180
I'm Chief Technical Officer
for Rokit Williams Racing.
58
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,060
There's no pressure
when Paddy is looking.
59
00:03:49,620 --> 00:03:52,880
One of the biggest challenges is the one
that we face at the moment,
60
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,660
which is to take Williams back
to the front of the grid,
61
00:03:58,100 --> 00:03:59,760
where they have been in the past.
62
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,660
We brought Paddy in from his
extraordinary successor, Mercedes.
63
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:08,100
Trying to breathe new life into Williams.
64
00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:10,180
Rear is all ready to go.
65
00:04:10,220 --> 00:04:12,200
-Pretty much.
- Pretty close, yeah.
66
00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:16,720
Paddy was the one who came up
with active suspension at Williams,
67
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:17,940
back in the 1980s.
68
00:04:17,980 --> 00:04:20,060
He was the tech genius
69
00:04:20,820 --> 00:04:23,780
that was responsible for so much
of Williams' glory years.
70
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,900
Those days, a garage was quite
an oil-stained, concrete sort of place.
71
00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:37,640
Now, very flash places with glossy floors
and sophisticated equipment.
72
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,900
So, a very, very different world.
73
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:42,340
Thank you.
74
00:04:43,020 --> 00:04:45,280
He's an incredibly clever
individual,
75
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,620
and he has really stripped
everything back to basics.
76
00:04:49,980 --> 00:04:53,280
We made a lot of changes
to how we developed the car.
77
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,180
Changes within the team,
changes within our technical approach.
78
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,940
So, we're optimistic that we've made
some good improvements.
79
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:05,880
We are just connecting
the ERS pack up,
80
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:11,120
getting ready to fire up
the FW42 for the first time.
81
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,900
We're positive about this car,
82
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,660
but I was last year as well,
so hopefully, we've learnt.
83
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:21,360
Okay.
84
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,880
I wanna see a feeling
within the team...
85
00:05:25,860 --> 00:05:28,700
that the team has turned a corner
and moved forwards...
86
00:05:31,260 --> 00:05:34,380
and capable of winning championships
in the future.
87
00:05:53,340 --> 00:05:54,800
- So we get the year I hope.
-Yeah.
88
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,000
So, should we do a race?
89
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,320
We'll do a quick corner.
90
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,980
I mean... I'm doing quite enough.
91
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:05,760
Paddy simulation.
92
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,300
Oh, this is good.
93
00:06:08,180 --> 00:06:11,140
It's not just back at base
that Williams are making changes.
94
00:06:11,180 --> 00:06:14,540
They've got two brand new drivers
for 2019.
95
00:06:14,580 --> 00:06:17,560
Are you ready for the
professionals to come and kick your ass?
96
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,580
- So, we having a race, are we?
- Yes.
97
00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:22,280
We give you the advantage.
How many laps?
98
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,480
- Shut up, "how many laps."
99
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,840
"How many laps?"
100
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,240
-Do you know who pays your wages?
101
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:29,120
Christ.
102
00:06:29,940 --> 00:06:31,980
Our driver lineup's wonderful this year.
103
00:06:32,020 --> 00:06:33,440
I'm so happy.
104
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,820
I was really clear around what we wanted.
105
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:37,540
I can't even see the car.
106
00:06:37,580 --> 00:06:39,140
-It's right...
-Oh, yeah.
107
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:43,540
Robert and George
are two quite different personalities.
108
00:06:43,580 --> 00:06:46,800
George is, I think,
a one-in-a-million driver.
109
00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:48,980
He rarely puts a foot wrong.
110
00:06:49,020 --> 00:06:50,300
-Oh!
-Hey!
111
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:52,200
Man, come on.
112
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,060
-Who's the yellow one?
-That's me.
113
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:57,220
George Russell, hotly tipped,
Mercedes youngster,
114
00:06:57,260 --> 00:06:59,940
Formula 2 champion. Really exciting guy.
115
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:03,920
He can see
the checkered flag. George Russell wins!
116
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,400
He's fought his way up the ranks.
117
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,820
Some pretty senior people in F1
who know what they're talking about,
118
00:07:11,860 --> 00:07:14,460
there's a lot of talk that George
is a future world champion.
119
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:16,340
-Have you won?
120
00:07:16,380 --> 00:07:17,760
-George!
- Sorry, Claire.
121
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,660
- That's really unsportsmanlike.
- I know. Right.
122
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,940
I'm George Russell.
I'm racing for Rokit Williams Racing.
123
00:07:22,980 --> 00:07:25,880
For me, it's a dream
to be part of Formula 1.
124
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,840
I've lived my whole life
wanting to become an F1 driver.
125
00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:34,400
Out of the hundreds and thousands
of people who've tried, I'm one of 20.
126
00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:39,260
And that's... Yeah, that's incredible.
127
00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:41,460
Oh, my God, my eyes are going weird.
128
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:43,820
-You're surprisingly not...
-Oh!
129
00:07:43,860 --> 00:07:45,480
Something's gone wrong.
130
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,800
-Yes!
131
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,260
-I'm surprisingly what? Not bad?
-You're surprisingly not... Oh!
132
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:53,400
Can't believe you said that
I'm surprisingly not that bad.
133
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:54,820
Oh, no.
134
00:07:54,860 --> 00:07:58,260
This is all we did at home
when we were growing up. Oh!
135
00:07:59,140 --> 00:08:01,140
Robert's at pole. Robert's at pole.
136
00:08:01,180 --> 00:08:02,520
I wanted Robert in the car,
137
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,960
'cause I wanted a driver that was able
to understand the issues with the car.
138
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:11,080
Robert had seriously impressed us
over the course of last year,
139
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,620
as our development driver.
140
00:08:13,140 --> 00:08:18,300
I'm Robert Kubica, I'm from Poland
and I'm racing for Rokit Williams Racing.
141
00:08:18,340 --> 00:08:22,660
It is strange to be back in Formula 1
after more than eight years.
142
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,400
Talk to anybody from go-kart
all the way up to Formula 1,
143
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,240
Robert was one of, if not the best.
144
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,560
Robert was the one they feared,
145
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,800
the one that they knew
could and would make it.
146
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,160
He was supposed to go to Ferrari
to join Fernando.
147
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,420
That was supposed to be the dream team.
148
00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:49,620
My career, unfortunately,
changed quite drastically.
149
00:08:50,380 --> 00:08:54,040
In 2011, I suffered
a big accident in Italy.
150
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,340
I suffered a lot of injuries.
151
00:08:56,380 --> 00:09:00,020
The crash was so bad
that it nearly severed his right arm.
152
00:09:04,740 --> 00:09:09,520
The fact he can control a Formula 1 car
is incredible to all of us.
153
00:09:10,140 --> 00:09:12,460
It's a huge thing for Robert to come back.
154
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:14,500
It is the Hollywood story.
155
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,140
It's one of the great sporting comebacks.
156
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,840
To be back is a dream.
157
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,060
He's a bit like a dog
with a bone.
158
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:27,120
He will push and push and push
until we fix the issues with the car,
159
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,540
and he is not shy in telling us
what those issues are.
160
00:09:30,580 --> 00:09:32,380
-My finger's hurting.
161
00:09:33,140 --> 00:09:36,440
They signify everything that
I've always wanted in a driver lineup.
162
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,160
Oh, yes. I'm still in the...
163
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,720
-Am I still in the lead?
- You are.
164
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,780
Oh, no!
165
00:09:41,820 --> 00:09:43,040
Claire wins!
166
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,000
-Did I win? Did I?
- You win.
167
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,380
-Mentally, I'm destroyed now.
168
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:56,320
That's better.
169
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,040
Everything is focused on getting your car
to that first day of testing.
170
00:10:07,780 --> 00:10:09,360
Would you...
There are a few bits of printing.
171
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,180
Would you mind just printing them for me?
It's a letter.
172
00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:13,320
Thank you very much.
173
00:10:15,380 --> 00:10:16,660
This is car build week.
174
00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:19,480
Mike, I'm on my way down.
175
00:10:20,460 --> 00:10:23,800
It's gotta go on Saturday night,
and everything has gotta be on it.
176
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,360
Everything's gotta be ready.
177
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,200
Doesn't that blue look nice?
178
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,520
- Yeah.
-I can see...
179
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:32,160
-Have you seen your team kit yet?
-Yeah.
180
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,280
- Do you like it?
-It's really nice, yeah.
181
00:10:39,340 --> 00:10:41,200
People just think we have a car,
182
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,040
and it goes around the world
to every race.
183
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,840
A few guys change the tires on it,
and that's about it.
184
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,660
You have to depressurize,
so they both can get through there.
185
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:51,740
So we can get this all the way down.
186
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:54,080
These cars
are extraordinarily complex.
187
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,060
There's 20,000 parts
that we're manufacturing ourselves.
188
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,140
How many of these have we got?
189
00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:03,120
-One for the moment?
- Yeah, we're not gonna scrap it.
190
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,340
No, no, no.
191
00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:06,960
When you are an independent team,
192
00:11:07,460 --> 00:11:10,140
when you are a team
on a budget the size of ours,
193
00:11:10,180 --> 00:11:13,980
it's an extraordinary challenge
to actually get your car to testing.
194
00:11:14,420 --> 00:11:15,640
The rear end is on there,
195
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:18,040
and the rear end
is actually structurally complete.
196
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,540
The mirror idea is a real winner.
197
00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:25,420
Haven't heard that word for a long time.
198
00:11:25,460 --> 00:11:26,720
- Yeah.
-Jesus.
199
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,440
- And it's--
- New wing mirrors.
200
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,540
They could be the reversal of our fortune.
201
00:11:30,580 --> 00:11:32,620
- Yeah.
- Something so simple.
202
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,300
We are a very, very long way
behind having a finished car here
203
00:11:37,340 --> 00:11:39,240
before we go to the test.
204
00:11:41,020 --> 00:11:45,560
Massive challenge at the moment
is the delivery of diffuser.
205
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,120
What's the issue
with the diffuser?
206
00:11:47,780 --> 00:11:49,220
-What's the holdup on that?
- Um...
207
00:11:49,940 --> 00:11:52,640
The complexity of the parts
are delaying the delivery.
208
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:55,160
And we've got a host
of components which
209
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,000
We've got an issue with
the front bell crank
210
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,360
pivot shafts are not finished.
211
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,700
The pin for the tower bracket
we've somewhat lost track of.
212
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,680
These are for bigger problems that...
213
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,680
We haven't even got any wheel nuts
to hold the wheels on.
214
00:12:08,220 --> 00:12:09,740
Have we not worked it out yet?
215
00:12:09,780 --> 00:12:12,280
- We're still digging into it.
- Still digging into it.
216
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,680
Meeting with Mike and Nicky.
217
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:19,920
Did you say tomorrow?
218
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,400
No.
I need to speak with them today.
219
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,400
-Okay.
220
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,280
Hello?
221
00:12:26,740 --> 00:12:27,660
Yes, speaking.
222
00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:30,240
It's not all on schedule at the moment.
223
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,960
Uh, we have had a number of slippages.
224
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:40,920
There are 101 different issues
with the car that weren't expected.
225
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,040
They're all being dealt with,
226
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,880
and, inevitably, that means that things
can take longer than was planned.
227
00:12:46,460 --> 00:12:49,120
Re-machine the holes? Change the dials.
228
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,920
But we will get to the test.
229
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,020
We always do.
230
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,640
- Everything's all right?
- Yeah.
231
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:56,600
Still smiling?
232
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,500
-Yeah.
- Good.
233
00:12:58,060 --> 00:13:00,340
It's in better shape
than it did yesterday.
234
00:13:00,380 --> 00:13:03,240
Yeah. It's just frustrating,
the little bits of rig parts.
235
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,520
Yes. Yes, I know.
236
00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:09,700
It will be an extraordinary feat
if we make this on Monday, right?
237
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,100
-Yeah. Yeah.
- Which we're gonna.
238
00:13:13,140 --> 00:13:14,580
Yeah. We are.
239
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,980
-I'll leave you to it. We will.
- I hope so. Yeah.
240
00:13:18,020 --> 00:13:19,560
-See you later.
- See you.
241
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,280
There are only eight days
of pre-season testing...
242
00:13:39,580 --> 00:13:43,860
to put your car on track, figure out
what works, figure out what doesn't.
243
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,280
To be as ready as your rivals
244
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,280
once you get to the first race
of the year.
245
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,780
The big news really today is the fact
that Williams will not run today
246
00:14:02,820 --> 00:14:04,500
and they won't run tomorrow, either.
247
00:14:04,540 --> 00:14:06,320
The car isn't ready yet.
248
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,720
It was a huge shock.
249
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,980
With only eight days
of pre-season testing,
250
00:14:15,020 --> 00:14:17,880
every second on track counts.
251
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,900
Missing half a day,
missing an hour is huge.
252
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,920
You don't miss testing.
253
00:14:35,060 --> 00:14:36,120
I'll take that one with me.
254
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,540
- This one?
-Yeah.
255
00:14:37,580 --> 00:14:39,660
- And the other one?
- This one's coming on this side.
256
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,320
They need to be very safeguarded.
257
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,440
- I think I broke it.
258
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,320
-It's a million man-hours, right?
- Yeah.
259
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,660
That is a lot of blood, sweat
and tears in there.
260
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,740
Realizing the car isn't going to be ready
for winter testing brings out disbelief.
261
00:14:58,780 --> 00:15:01,040
It was like, "Are you kidding?
How did this happen?
262
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,540
How did we get to this point?
263
00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:06,780
How do we protect the damage
that this is going to do?"
264
00:15:06,820 --> 00:15:08,780
I was... I was incredibly angry.
265
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,540
Get these bits to the garage
'cause they need to start working on them.
266
00:15:12,580 --> 00:15:14,380
They're gonna have their work
cut out this morning
267
00:15:14,420 --> 00:15:15,860
getting all those bits on the car.
268
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,440
It would be so nice
to see it out on the track.
269
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,300
It's not been a good few days.
270
00:15:22,340 --> 00:15:24,700
I'm hoping that when people
see it on track today,
271
00:15:24,740 --> 00:15:26,100
everyone will have forgotten about it
272
00:15:26,140 --> 00:15:28,960
and hopefully will bring us
a bit of performance.
273
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,600
And to have George and Robert,
it's really exciting.
274
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,400
I can't wait to see those guys
get in the car for the first time.
275
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,700
It'll be really nice.
276
00:15:40,060 --> 00:15:42,680
It's not unheard of for parts
to be flown out last minute,
277
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,660
but when team management
are flying out with them,
278
00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:49,400
you get the impression
it's pretty drastic.
279
00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:50,820
Here you go.
280
00:15:50,860 --> 00:15:52,240
How you doing? You all right?
281
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,420
We've got your bits.
282
00:15:54,580 --> 00:15:57,840
At times like this, you can't look
to the boys on the factory floor.
283
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,980
They're doing as much as they can
with the equipment at their disposal.
284
00:16:02,020 --> 00:16:03,360
It has to go higher.
285
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,360
The ultimate question is
where does the buck stop?
286
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,960
Does it stop with the person appointed
to head that technical direction
287
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,380
and the ultimate design of the car,
288
00:16:12,420 --> 00:16:15,160
or does it fall to the person
who made that appointment?
289
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,980
Whose head's on the block?
290
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,720
Are you all right?
291
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:20,620
Yeah.
292
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,480
It's just nice to see
the car in the garage.
293
00:16:26,220 --> 00:16:27,060
Christ.
294
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:29,640
If we could've had it three weeks ago,
we'd be laughing.
295
00:16:30,460 --> 00:16:31,560
Hi, Claire.
296
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,660
Hindsight, Dave, is a wonderful thing.
297
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:34,660
Hi, Paddy. You all right?
298
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,460
-How was your flight?
-Fine.
299
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:40,400
- Early?
-Yeah, it was early.
300
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,120
Got all the bits with you?
301
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,200
Got the bits. Yeah.
302
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,280
They're out at the back. Yeah.
303
00:16:49,380 --> 00:16:51,820
It happens
when you get out onto the grounds.
304
00:16:51,860 --> 00:16:54,020
Yeah.
All right, let's see those bits.
305
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,500
-Hi. You all right?
- Yeah. You?
306
00:16:56,540 --> 00:16:57,620
- Yeah.
- Good.
307
00:16:57,660 --> 00:16:59,020
Yes. All good.
308
00:17:00,340 --> 00:17:03,040
But what has been
the reason of the delay?
309
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,300
We're not going to be discussing
those issues in public.
310
00:17:05,340 --> 00:17:06,340
It's not ideal.
311
00:17:06,380 --> 00:17:08,660
Um, this is not the situation
that we wanted to find ourselves in.
312
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:10,000
Particularly after last year.
313
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,440
We wanted to come out strongly.
314
00:17:12,660 --> 00:17:15,580
That's one of the hardest parts
of the job,
315
00:17:15,620 --> 00:17:21,240
when you're feeling down and you feel
like you couldn't be kicked anymore.
316
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,240
I'm getting a kicking at the moment
from every angle.
317
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,660
We're not just disappointed, but it's...
318
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:32,340
It's embarrassing not bringing
a race car to a circuit.
319
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:44,340
I don't need anyone else
to give me a hard time.
320
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,680
I'm my worst judge, let's say.
321
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,980
The bottom line is
we didn't do the right things.
322
00:17:51,020 --> 00:17:53,120
We have many difficulties at the moment.
323
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,560
Lots of challenges to face.
324
00:17:56,060 --> 00:18:00,800
I suppose it's part of my makeup
to not reflect any sense of panic.
325
00:18:01,460 --> 00:18:05,560
I'm an engineer,
so problems are objective.
326
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,840
They're not emotional things
because emotions don't get us anywhere.
327
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,020
You good?
328
00:18:31,060 --> 00:18:32,840
- Yeah. Ready for it.
- Yeah?
329
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:35,120
Been ready for three days, mate.
330
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,620
It feels like...
331
00:18:36,660 --> 00:18:39,260
-This is how we normally do things.
332
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:40,820
We just leave it late.
333
00:18:40,860 --> 00:18:43,940
Well, you can see there's a little bit
of a crowd around the Williams garage.
334
00:18:43,980 --> 00:18:47,920
The good news for them is they have
finally got their car sorted out.
335
00:18:57,380 --> 00:18:59,720
So, Williams up and running,
336
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,820
but a lot of questions being asked why
they initially missed the first two days.
337
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,920
Very large rank.
338
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:09,340
- Sorry?
-Very large rank of media in here.
339
00:19:09,380 --> 00:19:11,620
Well, it's the only time
you've spoken in days.
340
00:19:11,660 --> 00:19:12,540
Yeah, we'll do that.
341
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:15,460
Work to do.
342
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:17,860
Paddy, what happened?
343
00:19:17,900 --> 00:19:19,220
Why was the car late?
344
00:19:19,260 --> 00:19:22,520
Um, that is a very, very
complicated matter and I...
345
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,700
Frankly, I don't even know
the answer because it's...
346
00:19:25,740 --> 00:19:29,940
It will take a lot of
investigation and analysis.
347
00:19:31,020 --> 00:19:34,300
In general, the thing that
has got us out is the, uh...
348
00:19:34,980 --> 00:19:38,420
The sheer quantity and complexity
of parts you have to produce
349
00:19:38,460 --> 00:19:40,800
to make a Formula 1 car these days.
350
00:19:42,220 --> 00:19:46,980
I spoke to Paddy over testing
and he refused to take responsibility.
351
00:19:47,020 --> 00:19:48,700
You're either responsible or you're not.
352
00:19:49,340 --> 00:19:51,060
So, you gotta take it on the chin.
353
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,720
And he kind of refused to do that, so...
354
00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:58,260
See you later, Paddy.
355
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,120
There have been some
big developments at Williams.
356
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,560
With immediate effect, Paddy Lowe,
357
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,520
"has taken a leave of absence from
the business for personal reasons."
358
00:20:11,140 --> 00:20:12,480
Can we talk
about Paddy at all?
359
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,320
There's no point
wasting that energy,
360
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:18,320
focusing on something
that's been and done.
361
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:19,660
You gotta move forward.
362
00:20:23,580 --> 00:20:24,920
Formula 1 moves fast.
363
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,320
We gotta start racing
and that's where it really matters.
364
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,460
-Okay. Bye, girls.
- Kisses. Can I get kisses?
365
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:47,340
-Bye.
- See you later. See you later.
366
00:20:47,380 --> 00:20:49,180
Girls, go inside before you get cold.
367
00:20:49,220 --> 00:20:50,480
Have a nice breakfast.
368
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:51,980
-Bye, monkey.
- Okay.
369
00:20:55,460 --> 00:20:57,400
I've got butterflies in my stomach.
370
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,500
I always get them driving to Silverstone.
371
00:20:59,540 --> 00:21:03,660
I wonder what George and Robert must
feel like going into this race weekend.
372
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:05,580
I don't worry, necessarily.
373
00:21:05,620 --> 00:21:09,060
I just worry that we can keep it.
That's really important to me.
374
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:11,440
Yeah.
375
00:21:11,900 --> 00:21:12,740
Yeah.
376
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,460
And I'm fed up with drivers.
377
00:21:15,500 --> 00:21:17,640
Buggering off, leaving us
to go somewhere else.
378
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,300
We nurture all this talent
and then they get to go off--
379
00:21:20,340 --> 00:21:22,080
-They get their success somewhere else.
-Yeah.
380
00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:25,200
I want to be the one
that gives a driver a good car.
381
00:21:26,340 --> 00:21:27,480
Formula 1 is not easy.
382
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,060
Sometimes, I think to myself,
"Christ, when is it gonna get easier
383
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:35,980
and what more do we have to do
to close that gap down to the midfield?"
384
00:21:36,020 --> 00:21:39,920
We're here in this sport
because we love racing.
385
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,640
We do not love being
at the back of the pack.
386
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:44,180
-Good morning!
- Good morning.
387
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:46,100
Are you gonna get near
the podium this morning?
388
00:21:46,140 --> 00:21:48,580
I will do my best,
but I can't promise anything.
389
00:21:48,620 --> 00:21:50,040
- Of course he will.
- Thank you.
390
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,280
- Good to see you.
- Drive well.
391
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,520
Thank you. Likewise.
392
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:53,580
Nice to meet you.
393
00:21:53,620 --> 00:21:55,820
Overall, it's not been ideal at all.
394
00:21:55,860 --> 00:22:00,300
I mean, obviously, you dream of coming
into Formula 1 and winning races.
395
00:22:00,340 --> 00:22:01,440
That's the dream.
396
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,220
Morning.
397
00:22:10,260 --> 00:22:11,100
Morning.
398
00:22:11,140 --> 00:22:13,040
Just driving around on my own.
399
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,280
No one in front of me,
no one really behind me.
400
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:18,680
Are you gonna race next year?
401
00:22:19,620 --> 00:22:21,800
Can't tell you that.
Can't tell you that.
402
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,440
-Sorry, I have to go.
-Go.
403
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,240
-I'll see you later.
- Go.
404
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:32,940
Obviously, I want more.
405
00:22:32,980 --> 00:22:34,520
I want to be a world champion.
406
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,220
I'd love to be in Lewis' shoes, you know.
407
00:22:37,260 --> 00:22:41,240
In a car, firstly, capable of winning
almost every single weekend,
408
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,080
and performing to a level
that he performs week in, week out.
409
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:46,740
But I believe I'll get there one day.
410
00:22:46,780 --> 00:22:48,520
I believe I'll have that opportunity.
411
00:22:49,020 --> 00:22:51,820
Difficult to show
your potential
412
00:22:51,860 --> 00:22:53,620
when you're always
at the back of the grid.
413
00:22:54,140 --> 00:22:56,480
No, it's not difficult at all
because the people
414
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,600
who will make a difference in my career,
415
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,300
the top people at Williams,
the top people at Mercedes,
416
00:23:01,340 --> 00:23:03,840
they know exactly how I'm performing,
417
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,980
even if the result isn't
exactly the same every week.
418
00:23:06,020 --> 00:23:08,220
So, I have no concerns with that.
419
00:23:08,260 --> 00:23:09,260
Cheers, thanks.
420
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,680
George is on the Mercedes
young driver scheme,
421
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:19,480
so that means he has, at least in part,
his future assured.
422
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,260
I'm late for something, guys.
423
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,240
Cheers. Thank you.
424
00:23:26,460 --> 00:23:29,600
The air condition's calibrated so
that the most power goes in my room.
425
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,440
-That's why the race took their team off.
- That's probably true.
426
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,100
-It's not true.
- I know.
427
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,020
Toto Wolff as head of Mercedes
has always been very impressed
428
00:23:39,060 --> 00:23:43,040
and has always spoken
incredibly well of George.
429
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,180
Whether that means George will make it
into the big Mercedes team?
430
00:23:47,220 --> 00:23:48,300
Only time will tell.
431
00:23:48,340 --> 00:23:50,340
But it's certainly on George's radar.
432
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,220
It's really nice to see
the Mercedes junior program
433
00:23:53,260 --> 00:23:55,100
-has come back to life.
-Yeah.
434
00:23:55,140 --> 00:23:59,060
And we're taking the most potential
young guys, and here we go.
435
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:03,540
Firstly, Mercedes are the number one team
in Formula 1 and have been for so long.
436
00:24:03,580 --> 00:24:06,660
They were the guys
who invested in my junior career
437
00:24:06,700 --> 00:24:11,980
and ultimately really helped me
to make the step into Formula 1.
438
00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:15,380
It's very rare that a rookie
wins the F2 season.
439
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,140
So, he won the F2 season,
440
00:24:18,180 --> 00:24:20,380
-and now we have a problem.
- I saw it last year.
441
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,120
-He's gonna be a future world champion.
- I know.
442
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,100
That's what some of my colleagues...
443
00:24:27,140 --> 00:24:30,180
- They say that.
- ...told me earlier this year...
444
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,620
-When you put me in your car, Toto.
- Yeah.
445
00:24:32,660 --> 00:24:33,500
That's the...
446
00:24:33,540 --> 00:24:34,520
That's the trick.
447
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,500
-Yeah.
448
00:24:43,740 --> 00:24:46,500
Welcome to
the historic Silverstone Circuit
449
00:24:46,540 --> 00:24:47,620
for the British Grand Prix.
450
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:53,940
I am a rookie.
451
00:24:53,980 --> 00:24:56,800
I don't have experience,
but I'm deadly serious,
452
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,360
and when it's got anything to do
with making me go quicker,
453
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,160
I'm definitely incredibly serious.
454
00:25:05,060 --> 00:25:08,920
I need to work my socks off
to justify why I'm in Formula 1.
455
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:12,560
And show my true colors
that I can be a team player
456
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,800
and really build this team
through the tough times.
457
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,540
George very much encapsulates
a Williams spirit.
458
00:25:27,580 --> 00:25:30,700
He's got that, you know,
"I'm gonna just get on with it."
459
00:25:30,740 --> 00:25:32,200
Last car approaching the grid.
460
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,200
I'm so pleased that he's joined
Williams at the start of his F1 career.
461
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,160
And all I hope and pray is
that he is with us for a long time.
462
00:25:57,220 --> 00:26:00,500
Everybody cleanly through
the first corner at Abbey.
463
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,000
It's the Williams bringing up the rear.
464
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:09,140
It's all over the place.
465
00:26:10,060 --> 00:26:11,520
Understeer is atrocious.
466
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,580
These brakes aren't improved.
467
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,300
We're gonna have to stop.
468
00:26:17,340 --> 00:26:19,080
It's getting to the point of danger.
469
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,760
Struggling a lot.
470
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,460
Do we really need to leave me out here,
overtaken like this?
471
00:26:26,900 --> 00:26:27,860
Hit me.
472
00:26:28,860 --> 00:26:30,060
Stay out. Stay out.
473
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,120
However. Come on.
474
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,720
You don't wanna risk anything.
475
00:26:35,700 --> 00:26:37,480
Car's all over the show.
476
00:26:40,980 --> 00:26:46,540
Lewis Hamilton wins
the British Grand Prix for a sixth time.
477
00:26:46,580 --> 00:26:48,560
What a performance from him.
478
00:26:54,300 --> 00:26:57,160
Still quite incredible for me
how you can finish a lap,
479
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,000
it feels like one of the best laps
you've ever done in your life.
480
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:01,900
Still, in the scheme of things,
481
00:27:01,940 --> 00:27:06,740
incredibly fast, but these guys
have just got something more.
482
00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:09,020
We need to sort this out.
483
00:27:09,060 --> 00:27:10,880
We really, really need to sort this out.
484
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,400
In my previous years, I had one target,
485
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,420
and that was, you either put it on pole
or win the race.
486
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,840
I'm driving around in 19th position
week in, week out and...
487
00:27:29,460 --> 00:27:30,640
I don't wanna be there.
488
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,980
I'm sure he's frustrated
by some things
489
00:27:35,020 --> 00:27:37,640
that we haven't been able
to action fast enough.
490
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,340
I wish for both of them that
we'd given them a better car this year.
491
00:27:41,380 --> 00:27:43,740
-It's pretty brutal out there.
- Yeah. I know. Tell me about it.
492
00:27:45,060 --> 00:27:46,760
Frustrating, isn't it?
493
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,680
You've gotta take the small wins
to make yourself feel good every so often.
494
00:27:52,180 --> 00:27:53,540
Okay. We beat Vettel.
495
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,600
-Yeah. Exactly.
- Yeah.
496
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:58,800
Yeah. We did.
497
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,940
You're not spraying champagne
each and every weekend.
498
00:28:01,980 --> 00:28:04,820
Only one team can do that.
Only one driver can do that.
499
00:28:09,380 --> 00:28:10,800
It's just a joke at the moment.
500
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:14,280
I've never been
so inconsistent in my life.
501
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:19,360
You look at my lap chart,
you think I'm a bloody rookie or whatever.
502
00:28:21,180 --> 00:28:25,540
I felt like I was driving very similar
lap after lap, and it was like a yo-yo.
503
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:29,280
I felt like an idiot.
504
00:28:30,660 --> 00:28:33,080
We need to seriously pull our fingers out.
505
00:28:38,180 --> 00:28:41,320
Okay. All right.
We'll see what we can do about that.
506
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:47,540
Good job. Well done. Well done, thank you.
507
00:28:48,220 --> 00:28:49,540
No real point.
508
00:28:49,580 --> 00:28:53,060
No. We were only lapped once
which makes a change.
509
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:53,960
Yeah.
510
00:28:56,300 --> 00:28:58,380
Certainly,
I feel enormous pressure
511
00:28:58,420 --> 00:29:00,560
whether I'm good enough to do this job.
512
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,380
The pressure is there
because it is our family business
513
00:29:04,420 --> 00:29:06,820
and I took this job on
for a very particular purpose,
514
00:29:06,860 --> 00:29:08,920
and that was to protect a legacy.
515
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:13,900
-Is that it?
- All good.
516
00:29:13,940 --> 00:29:14,780
-Yeah?
- Yeah.
517
00:29:14,820 --> 00:29:15,660
Okay.
518
00:29:16,220 --> 00:29:18,040
You didn't ask the last question about,
519
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,400
"Has Williams got a future
or is Williams going to be in trouble?"
520
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,700
- I didn't?
-No.
521
00:29:23,740 --> 00:29:25,760
She didn't...
522
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,780
I was thinking when I read it, I was like,
"I am not answering that question."
523
00:29:28,820 --> 00:29:30,220
And then I was thinking about it
and I said,
524
00:29:30,260 --> 00:29:32,040
-"Maybe I should answer that question."
- Do you wanna answer it?
525
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:32,920
-You can.
-Yeah.
526
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,580
I was told you didn't want
to hear it because you shouldn't.
527
00:29:34,620 --> 00:29:35,520
-I don't wanna...
- No.
528
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,020
Make you answer
something you don't wanna answer.
529
00:29:37,060 --> 00:29:39,320
You can ask me. Ask me the question.
530
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,380
So, is there a danger
that if this goes on,
531
00:29:42,420 --> 00:29:44,760
-it could be the end of Williams for you?
- Yeah. Okay.
532
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,540
Williams isn't on its way out
533
00:29:46,580 --> 00:29:50,140
just 'cause it's had a few...
A couple of bad years.
534
00:29:50,180 --> 00:29:51,960
We're fighters,
at the end of the day, at Williams.
535
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,440
That was what we do.
536
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,460
We will fight
whether we're winning the championship
537
00:29:55,500 --> 00:29:57,340
or we'll fight
if we're losing the championship,
538
00:29:57,380 --> 00:29:59,180
and we will continue
to fight in this sport
539
00:29:59,220 --> 00:30:00,740
for many, many years to come.
540
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:04,860
You're Netflix?
541
00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:08,440
Not anymore. Fuck you, Netflix.
542
00:30:10,660 --> 00:30:12,740
This is where
I'll have my single life.
543
00:30:12,780 --> 00:30:14,400
This is the no-go zone.
544
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,180
What do you think you did better
than Pierre Gasly to grab his seat?
545
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:21,880
What the hell is he doing?
546
00:30:23,660 --> 00:30:26,440
If I get knocked,
I try to knock even harder.
547
00:30:27,620 --> 00:30:29,780
Very hard
to keep up with that man.
548
00:30:31,860 --> 00:30:33,680
This is the best day of my life.
