F1 The Movie (2025) Movie Script
1
Hey Sonny, five minutes.
I'm gonna give you my love.
I'm gonna give you my love.
I'm gonna give you my love.
I'm turning my back to one minute.
It's all gone in six, honey!
It had to ease off when it dropped down to
seven.
You can just hope this isn't over the
night.
Hopeful sunrise catches us a break.
Nothing here much.
It's holding up, but go easy.
The crowds may have gone high,
but the racing continues.
Sonny Hay is back in
the Porsche for beating
Geico, Chippa Racing,
the Midnight Shift.
We all know Haynes likes to light up the
night, but with the BMW at the head of
this pack, he's got a message on the head
of him.
Right out of the gate,
Haynes turns the wheel
in the turn three,
moving up to fourth place.
Sonny, wanna make me pass on the
straights?
Just let me drive, will ya?
Look out!
It's Chad Moves Haynes up another spot!
Sweet baby Jesus, we've got ten more
hours.
Just let Sonny do his thing.
And if these first few laps are a
pre-indication, it appears as though Sonny
Hayes may have left his brake pedal at
home.
Hayes sets his sights on the BMW.
And he attacks!
Here comes Haynes on the outside!
And he does!
With the interior light on the brakes,
he's in the grass!
Can Hayes hang on?
And he does!
Sonny Hayes got his thing!
Sonny Hayes brings in
the fifth lane after an epic
third-step wall puts
Chippard Racing out in front.
Now it's up to Cale Kelso to hang onto
that lead.
Thanks for the heads up, team!
Hey, who's that lead?
I'm killin' ya!
Sonny Hayes!
Sonny Hayes!
I think I know where you'll find you!
I'll screw you!
Let's go, men!
Don't wake me if we lose.
Sonny Hayes!
I believe you forgot something.
Bag's full, Chip.
Seriously?
You first went to Daytona?
Don't you want to touch it?
Come on.
Bad luck.
Bad luck.
Just touch it.
I will take that bonus check though.
Sonny!
Sonny!
Just hear me out.
I want to bring you on board.
Right here next year.
Let's run it back.
We did it, man.
Deal's the deal.
I know what a deal is.
So that's it.
One and done.
I appreciate the seat, Chip.
I really do.
What kind of way is that in a race?
You just spent your whole life starting
over, man.
Take care.
I'll see you down the road.
Hey, don't you want the watch?
I got one!
Sorry,
can I use your phone for a second,
please?
It's not working.
Uh, no.
You know... You remind me
of this friend I used to have.
Which friend?
The friend who dressed better.
This is a gorgeous suit.
So is this.
What did your friend do?
Drove cars.
Was he fast?
Was he slow?
Did he win?
Yeah, he did.
Come here, you son of a bitch.
Oh, no.
Are you thinking Bacca?
Yeah.
New day in challenge.
As I said, you would have said to my son
when I bought the AXGP.
Ah.
How deep in the hole are you?
I'll tell you, but you have to promise not
to laugh.
Shoot.
Three hundred and fifteen.
Man.
No laugh.
Impressive.
Well?
Being fun?
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
What's the problem then?
The problem is two seasons and a half.
Zero points.
My best driver left for another team.
So the car was a shit box.
The team is in last place.
My number two is a rookie.
And the season has come to an end.
How many races left?
Nine.
And if we don't turn it around,
I lose the team.
But you own the team.
No race wins in the first three seasons.
The board can't force a save.
Man, you sound like you need a new board.
I need a new glider.
You got F2, you got F3.
You got an entire assembly line of the
kids raised on the simulator.
No, I don't have time for kids in a
comfortable tent.
I don't.
Well, you don't just walk off the street
and pile up a rocket.
Yes, you can and you've done it before.
That's the whole point.
Wishy home was 57 years old when he won
the Monaco Grand Prix.
Who is who?
Finnimit Alsenam, 56 years old.
Google these names, didn't you?
Some people look at Sonny Hayes,
they see a guy who lives in a van.
A gambling junkie who missed his shot.
Ruben, you are really silly.
But I see.
A guy who makes teams better.
I see experience, I see know-how.
My rookie is a phenomenal talent.
Phenomenal.
But he's young.
You know what he likes?
Maturity.
You plus him.
Boom.
I got a team.
Alright, let's say I'm the next Louis.
You are him.
The problem is, it's not just a driver,
it's a car.
I followed the season, Ruben.
Shitbox has been kind.
I knew you were watching.
What if I told you we'd get an upgrade
package this weekend.
Six months of development.
Ruben.
No, no, no.
Wait, I just need one of my cars across
the finish line.
First one.
I love you.
I'm not going back.
What would he want you to do?
Join a boy band?
Seriously?
Come on.
Seriously, I'd ask him what he's smiling
about.
Come on.
He's smiling at the possibility.
We both know how that ended.
Yeah.
Okay.
This... is a first class
ticket to London.
First class.
I'm offering you an open seat in Formula
One.
The only place you could stay for one day
in your win.
You are the absolute best in the world.
Hey Ruben.
Ever seen a miracle?
Oh yeah.
Me neither.
Good to see you, amigo.
Alright sweetie, here you go.
Thank you.
Let me ask you something.
Close friend of yours made you an offer that
was 100% positively too good to be true.
What do you do?
Well how much are we talking?
Not about the money.
So what is it about?
Hmm.
25 rear.
You are good to push.
Copy.
Battery is full.
Let's restart two.
Good for that.
Purple sector one.
Best one yet.
Car feels good.
Bring him in.
Go to strike one.
Box is locked.
Box is locked.
Let's go find those great lads.
Sorry to show you.
Judy.
Try not to kill that drama.
What's the verdict?
I don't know what's happening to me.
It feels good.
I start to push.
Then I'm upstairs in the slow corners and
upstairs the faster.
Are there entries or exits?
Either.
Both.
Craig, yeah.
There's 10,000 sentences on this thing.
You can't tell me what's going on.
But I'm not out there, am I?
So I'm going to need your help on this.
Please.
$150 million, John Lujan.
So cute.
You just let her drive.
Can't be any worse.
Joshua.
Elizabeth, yeah?
Oh, yeah.
For the press conference, we want to steer
around tech issues and focus on the super
strong bond with your new teammate,
Luca Cortez.
Luca?
Who I've known a week.
The one who was third
banana on the left at Red Bull
told the press he thought
Joshua Pierce was overrated.
That Luca Cortez?
Yes.
Can't wait.
Alright, great.
Thank you.
That's a yes, yeah?
Yes?
Ruben's in big trouble.
He might have to sell the team.
What does that mean for me?
New buyers, unlikely to clean the house.
Listen.
You need to show these people who the
number one driver really is, man.
No.
Or you're going to lose your job.
Yeah.
Let us in, kid.
I told you.
Yeah.
Come.
Okay.
Let's take the first half of the season
and erase it from all minds.
Someone says, Casper, what happened this
year?
I swelled the lives of my children.
I do not freaking know.
There's only this cop.
And there's only our future.
Who is that asshole?
He's with me.
You may have thought I was maintenance.
Send me to the back gate.
Brother, you'll never let me down.
I hope you're still trying, bro.
Hey, Rich GB.
Sonny Hayes.
He raised my finger up in the day.
I'm against you.
Ken McKenna, our technical director.
Dutch Dola, our chief mechanic.
And Casper Smolinski, team principal.
You may know him by reputation.
Five-time constructors champion with
Ferrari.
As a real champion.
So is my pop.
Can't win without.
And I'm telling the rookie, Joshua.
Why does he got a helmet?
Safety.
Joshua.
Your seat is safe.
Sonny is here for the audition.
When was the last time you won a race?
Sunday.
Daytona.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I meant Formula One.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Then same as you.
Never thought I'd say this.
Has anyone seen Luka Cortez?
It's a sidebar being a woman.
When I interviewed with you, many bitter
and dry words.
Yeah, he really turned you down.
Number nine.
How many?
Seven.
That's a lot.
I'm number seven.
You're eight.
This is a disaster.
Sorry if you're more like a man.
Technically, there is one who I've never
heard from yet.
So I am a nine.
You know how numbers work, right?
In business, my most inspired idea is
complete.
Best things in life usually arrive at
night, right?
With respect, Ruben, I cannot
condone the pain that will
only test the giving you a
long lost teammate an audition.
Trust me, you misunderstand.
We're not auditioning him.
He's auditioning us.
Good luck.
New wing, new side pods.
Any changes to the floor?
Not many age-older drivers would have
figured it out.
That's why they call me lucky number nine.
Listen, it's been a while since you've
driven that make, yeah?
The balance on these calls is tricky,
so be careful from time one to nine.
I don't want to see you get hung.
How about we set a reasonable target?
Give me the same setup as him.
If I can't post a lap
time within a second of
J.P.'s, then I will
promptly see myself out.
You're free to take a shot at lucky number
ten, okay?
Ten.
Here's J.P.
Hey!
Let's see what you got.
If he races with Ruben, he races with
Schumacher.
With Senna.
Alright, put up your Swiss extracts.
Tony, quick sissy, stacks it.
Begging a hundred, you're on.
Oh, shh.
Sorry, this is Hugh Nickleby, your race
engineer.
Good morning, do you have my time temp
stuck in?
Yep, almost one minute left.
You should be good to push.
Hugh?
Yes, sir?
You should have taken that bet.
It could be that.
Go for a lap.
No.
Shit.
He's dead.
Come on.
Don't do that.
I'm buried.
Wait.
Wait... Now!
The car is there, come on!
Let's get in!
Yep, all good!
Yeah, she's got something.
Yeah, you mean had something.
But definitely snapping the highest speed
corners.
Unpredictable in the lowest.
Had trouble with the rears, turned 14,
No, that's on me.
He passed.
He was entirely self-imposed, tested by
five hundredths of a second.
Huh...
Well... Oh, yeah.
Bro, we got nine races to catch the eye of
another team.
And as your manager, I
have to advise you that we
need to start hitting these
social and sponsor events.
You need more engagement, Josh.
More flowers.
You need it, I'm starving.
Nah, gotta see someone though.
Yeah?
Hey, take a picture, post that shit.
Send it to me, I'll post that shit.
That's my mom.
Don't you dare post that shit.
I knew he was gonna say it.
Okay, baby?
Yeah, just tired.
Back tires or the engine?
Come on, mommy, you don't know about cars.
Fasty.
Alright, I may not know much about cars,
but I know a lot about you.
Go.
I might leave my seat if the team don't
win a race.
Any race.
There are other teams?
Yeah, there's 20 seats where they're all
filled.
Plus, there's this new guy in.
He's old.
How old?
Like really old, like 80.
He's such an asshole, mom.
He's quite dumb.
Don't mind that.
Focus on you.
You can spend your
whole life worrying about
other people, but
your time is right now.
You still love it?
Of course I still love it.
Then remember what your father used to
say.
Put your head down and drive.
Yes, ma'am.
Music.
Music Music Music.
Thought your job was to build the fastest
car on the planet.
My job is wind.
So helps to feed it.
Mysterious Voos at apex GP.
Who have finally
announce the driver who will
take their second seat
and in a bizarre twist.
It's American Sonic Hayes.
Who hasn't raced in Formula One for over
three decades!
Son of an IndyCar mechanic,
Hayes was considered something
of a reckless young phenomenon,
the greatest, who never was.
His former career being brought to
an abrupt halt by horrific accidents ...
at the Spanish Grand Prix.
He reappeared a decade later in racing
championships as diverse as Le Mans,
NASCAR, the Dakar Rally, and even as stint
as a New York taxi driver.
But now, he's back, racing
for a team which has in its
entire F1 history never
even finished in the top ten.
None of this will dampen speculation that
majority shareholder Cervantes Capital are
looking to sell the team,
and if they do, that will likely
also bring an end to the
career of F1 rookie Joshua Piers.
Just for times, they say, he called for
desperate measures, but I honestly cannot
recall a driver signing quite as desperate
as this.
Boy, look at my son.
That's the one.
That's the other driver.
Yeah, that's him and his stupid face.
Well, you said he was old, he's not that
old.
Hey, Josh, you want a next shot anywhere?
Nine races means nine times you have to
beat Chuck Norris.
For now, we'll start by winning over the
press.
Yeah?
You ready?
Cool, let's go.
That's a handsome man right there.
Joshua, hey, it's been an undeniably messy
start to your season.
No wins, car problems throughout,
and now you have another new teammate.
How is that feeling finding him?
Messy start doesn't mean you can't finish
neat, right?
Apex have a fireproof engine there,
some confident will come back fire.
In terms of new teammates,
I think it's really wonderful
that Apex are giving second
chances to the elderly.
Yes, next question.
Thank you.
Yes, Don, yeah.
Mr. Harington, Don Kalash, young.
Welcome back to the UK.
It's been a while.
I mean, last time you raced in
Silverstone, Bill Clinton was your
president, and we were all dancing the
Macarena.
Must be surreal to be back.
Yeah.
And during that decade, you gave up racing
and gambled professionally.
Uh-huh.
Before declaring yourself personally
bankrupt.
Yeah.
You had a marriage at Nile and two more in
it in divorce.
Yeah.
I don't think you wish you'd done
differently.
Yeah.
No more questions.
Thank you.
Yes, George.
What's wrong with you?
Before me?
I'm before you.
Okay, here he comes.
Apologize.
Apologize?
I can't do that.
How do you mean, why not?
Because it's a sign of weakness.
It's a sign of strength.
Sign of weakness.
Your idea is just to win.
Ma'am, I can't.
You can.
You will.
Hey, man.
I've been at a press conference and stuff.
I said it wasn't cool.
So, basically what I'm trying to say is...
I'm sorry.
It's alright.
You just wear it on quicker than you.
Hi, I'm Sonny.
Bernadette Pierce.
Nice to meet you.
Pleasure.
It's all good.
I'll see you out there.
How are you feeling?
So good.
Good.
You good?
Good.
No pressure?
No.
Great.
Welcome along to Silverstone.
The circuit where on the first day of 1950,
the Formula One World Championship began.
Today, we kick off the final five races of
this thrilling championship season.
Here on the 77th British Grand Prix.
As always, eleven teamers will take the
grid, fielding two drivers each.
With race order determined by the
qualifying time set yesterday.
Red Bull will start on pole.
Followed by the two McLarens and two
Ferraris.
Drivers... ...will
start on pole.
Here we go.
I believe it's your register.
You know, Ruben's Inferno.
Seriously, man, I'm up for it.
I've been trying to survive.
I honestly don't think I've ever known so
much about car times.
It's incredible.
I'm taking back my danger.
Here we go.
That.
was the car.
It takes down to the top of the hour.
It's time to get things going here in
Silverstone.
It's formation lap first.
One tour of the track.
And a chance for the drivers to warm up
their tyres and brakes.
Oh no, there's a problem for Apex.
That's Hayes in V22.
His car hasn't moved.
Hang on, I've got power trouble.
It's start mode.
Start mode on.
Yes, a lesson for everyone at home.
New car, do read the manual.
It's been a while since he was out on the
track in this race.
He's not even going to get into the grace.
There he goes.
And he's away at last.
Thank goodness for that.
If he falls too far behind
on the formation lap,
he'll be a sister having
to start in the pit lane.
Where's Sully?
He told us up.
Yep, just checking.
What's wrong with his car?
What?
Nothing.
With the clear track
ahead, Hayes has been
able to push much harder
on this formation lap.
He'll turn up at the back of the grid with
warm tyres, ready to go.
Cheeky shit.
It's on purpose.
What is this guy doing?
This is actually now turning into an
advantage for Sully Hayes.
And he's just made it in.
Watch.
out.
The drivers, it's lights out and away they
go.
Using those warm tyres to carve his way
through the back of the field.
And if you ever need confidence in your
car, it's here at Silverstone.
Hayes is just sailing past me.
He's moved up seven places since the
start.
The ACP has really struggled with this
car.
But they've brought an operating package
this weekend.
They seem to have made a difference as
Hayes attacks Perez in the red bull.
Hayes complaining about his car over the
radio.
That's not what the team wants to hear.
Copy gap is 0.9 to the res.
He's in the DRS range.
He should be able to take him on the next
straight.
Hayes now uses the track reduction system
to get past.
We'll be able to hold him off guys.
He's got no grip.
This is trouble now for Apex GP.
The red bull's tyres are now warm.
And Hayes hasn't got his tyre advantage
from the start anymore.
We've seen the attack.
Now it's all about defence.
And Perez on the attack into mile.
Hayes is in trouble.
This could be the place he's reversed.
And it is.
You're in the sluice.
Tell me if you see a fix.
Tell him to pull back the entry to get a
better exit.
He thinks it's a setup.
It's us.
20 laps down.
Please, make Joshua Perez is strictly down
there at the moment.
Guys, get me off these socks.
I'm going backwards.
Copy that.
The stakes couldn't be higher for rookie
Joshua Perez.
This is not where you want to be in last
race.
I can't make up.
Hit something.
What was that?
Oh, a 7 second pit stop.
Apex GP won't be happy with that.
That's double the time it should have
taken.
Last three.
It's bugs.
Bugs.
Copy that.
A bug.
Big bugs.
Bugs.
And here comes Sonny Hayes for a fresh set
of tyres.
He'll be hoping these will help him hold
on to his current position.
A big 15.
Jack is not working properly.
This is causing absolute pandemonium.
This is the Apex GP business.
Whatever could go wrong is going wrong for
this team.
And coming out of the pit, he's just ahead
of his teammates.
That's Pearson Hayes.
Come on for you old man.
I've got bigger position.
Stand by.
Josh is faster.
Sonny's on cold tyres.
Yeah, okay, Sonny.
Not fighting that through.
Sonny, no fighting.
Who's fighting?
I'm racing.
Pearson on the inside.
Hayes on the outside.
Hayes trying to make you meet concrete up
against the open wall there.
Joshua, you're going to have to fight for
position.
You are wrecking Sonny.
Hey, fuck.
They're giving absolutely no quarter.
For benefit to their teammate at all.
They're pushing as if they're trying to
win a Grand Prix.
But this is the battle for last place,
remember.
And what a brawl it is.
This is mad.
The Cardinal's sin of motor racing.
And double tier back.
Just when it couldn't get any worse.
With a blackened goal.
That's a tough one, man.
We can't corner.
We're bouncing around the place like we're
one of the bloody two.
And now we think it's cool till we will go
to the pit box.
Who even was that?
That was me.
Of course.
Old man.
You're losing your hearing.
What was that?
You want to do this here?
Yeah, I'd love to do this here in front of
the team, right?
The one that you apparently called.
Okay.
You made a mistake.
It happens.
I made a mistake.
I love this guy.
Don't worry about it, Joey.
Why are you even listening to me?
No!
Stop!
Josh is mad.
An ogre is an ogre.
May I remind you that you report to me?
Cool.
Just don't ask me to give you that
position.
Sorry.
Sorry, guys.
Hold on.
You swan into our garage like some
entitled prick.
What man?
Pulling us piss forward and you drive like
that.
Huh?
You said a swan.
What's that mean?
You!
You're an asshole!
You come in like an asshole!
You swan!
So swans are assholes.
You're making the mistake
of thinking that I'm just going to
be some grateful kid who
will bend a knee to an old timer.
I climbed a mountain to get here,
bro.
Full new one!
Back home we called that a participation
trophy.
Yeah!
What the hell are you smiling about,
man?
Did you win something?
There's 20 other drivers still out on that
track.
And you're in here posing for that
nonsense?
You think you need them to respect us?
Do you?
They need to learn that no one gets past
us without a fight.
No one.
You don't like the way I'm driving?
Beat me, swan.
Had a little race, huh?
Woo!
Sorry, I didn't see you.
Still beating yourself up?
Yeah.
Yeah, I know that one.
Um, thanks for what you said out there.
Just don't do it again, okay?
Makes me look like I need help.
You're right.
Got it.
Pain from what it's done.
Don't beat yourself.
There's plenty of people out there to do
that for you.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, Ruben, for demolishing
not one but both of your
lovely cars for coming back
into your life only to destroy it.
Is this your revenge for Monica?
Yeah, I waited 30
years and came all this
way to humiliate myself
in global television.
Honey, you think I brought you in to make
my other driver quit?
Listen, he's cocky, he's arrogant,
he's got a lot to learn.
You were cocky, you were arrogant,
and you had a lot to learn.
I'm not here to hold anyone's hand.
I'm here to race.
No, you're not.
Sonny, you're here to give me a hard time.
The war is not my ass, and...
I have to decide whether to continue this
fiasco or pull the plug now.
You have till the end of the season.
By which time Apex will be worth less than
my shoes!
Sonny!
To make that cake.
The car.
I want to talk to you about the car.
She's the world's first female tech
director to have one team of genetics balls.
Wow.
Just like a lion.
Shields your way through it.
Not a lion.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
She married?
Okay, stay there!
You're not travel guides until Budapest.
You don't move.
Hey Ruben.
Can't get there with this car.
Yeah, sorry I handled the plan.
I'm trying to pick us up a tenth or so.
Cool.
And you can replicate turns?
Battle air flow?
No, just straight line drag.
Well, I mean, we can kind of get air from
there.
Okay, what about turbulent air from a car
would follow?
No, not exactly, but...
Track conditions?
Surface quality?
Weather?
Ambient temps?
I'm sorry.
Was there something that you wanted to
discuss?
Kate?
You read my mind.
So how does one get to be the first female
technical director of an F1 team?
Let's take it.
Dedication.
Lots of hard work.
That's your urgent question.
Plenty of people think I don't belong
here.
I'm happy to add you to the list if you're
implying what I... I don't imply stuff.
See, like straight talk.
Straight as an arrow.
No sugar.
Everyone thinks Ruben's lost it.
That he's clutching at straws.
They're saying maybe he lost a bet.
Ren over your dog.
They're saying Sonny Hayes isn't a
has-been.
He's a never-was.
Yeah, when I said it like straight talk,
I meant me.
From others, I mostly prefer praise,
flattery, hero-worship.
At times, straight up bullshit.
Is that what Ruben's for?
Ruben, I love the guy.
Most solid, steadfast.
He'd ask if I was married.
Disloyal, mean, twisted, bitter,
husk of a man.
Yeah, and he also told me about a big
string of ex-wives and irl-friends.
He said to avoid you like the plague.
Let me explain this.
When you're going
200 miles per hour into a
rouge, it's good to know
that it got your back.
And for the record, in
all my years in racing, I
have never, ever hit on
the team technical director.
Well, ma'am, that's a huge weight off my
mind.
So what's this urgent question?
Okay.
Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston, McLaren,
all have a speed on straight line speed.
Our shot is battling on the turns.
I need a way to chase it through the dirty
air.
You want me to redesign so you can follow
closer?
We need to build a car for combat.
How am I supposed to write that safe?
Who said anything about safe?
That's your question.
Yeah.
And here's the straight talk.
It's urgent.
You know, I bet when you look in the
mirror, you see this rough-and-tumble,
old-school, no-bullshit cowboy.
Doesn't take orders, goes his own way,
huh?
A lone wolf.
Well, I have news for you.
Formula One is a team sport.
It always was.
And maybe that's why you failed at it.
The only question here is, why did Sonny
Hayes come back to F1?
Now, that question is extremely fucking
urgent.
I'll start listening to you when you
finish your race.
Oh, baby,
now Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah Oh,
baby.
At the Spanish Grand Prix, the American
rookie Sonny Hayes had just signed a new
contract and his future looked very
bright.
He'd earned a reputation for his aggressive
driving style, seen by some as reckless.
It nevertheless served him well as he
climbed up the order over the course of
the season, relentlessly pursuing his
first F1 victory.
Hayes was running well in the opening
laps, chasing down race leader Etta Senna.
However, when Hayes made a risky move and
attacked Senna on the outside of a
high-speed right-hand turn, a frightening
scene unfolded as quick as a flash.
The predictor teams are going to be
targeting a one-stop race.
The plan is to switch from mediums to
hard, between lap 27 and 33.
Plan B would be medium-hard-medium,
first window 16 to 21, second 45 to 51.
Plan C for soft doesn't make sense.
At this temp, the tyre deck will be too
high.
Madness?
Yeah, Joshua.
So, we've just got to drive our brakes.
Let's not try and be heroes.
Let's make it through those first turns
clean.
Can't win at lap one, starting at the
back.
We've just got to hope for some lucky
brakes later on.
Right?
Yeah.
Create your own brakes.
Hello, hi.
I just said that.
Hope is not a strategy.
Anything else, Professor?
Try fast.
Next door!
Leaving them with nowhere to go!
3 cars gone off!
Gatsby, Ocon, and the Albertari of Sonona!
8th-degree change of tyres.
They were puncturing right rear box.
Boxeslap first got that turn.
A rude race.
Shit, shit, shit.
Ah, shit.
Plan A, let's go!
Let's go Plan C.
No, Plan C's for soft tyres.
They won't let us.
10 laps in a seat.
That's a negative sign.
Plan A's gone, Plan A.
You see anything going right?
Plan C, soft!
It's not his car.
Tell him A.
That's an asshole.
Okay, yes sir!
What's wrong with the car?
Are you insane?
We need hot cars!
Everybody here is on a one-stop race!
If we do what everybody does, we lose!
Make it go!
You think I'm not on my tyres?
I was on a journey!
Five chapters of Davos for bad freaking
hunts!
Give me the tyres.
Okay, let's go!
Let's go, let's go!
Straight to the red!
Are you ready?
Ready for what?
Where's your piece in?
I'm currently running before team.
Chase him, carry Magnussen!
It's a live launch!
Any driver knows Magnussen will shut the
door on a clumsy move like that.
Ah, definitely.
So that will bring out a safety car,
which always shakes up a race,
slows down the leaders, leaves the field
bunched up together, and gives teams the
chance for a quick pit stop, which only
costs half the usual time!
Safety car unboxed, am I right?
Standby.
Okay, can we take a man to go?
Safety car window is open.
It's early, we gave track position to stay
out.
Stay out, stay out.
Watch you out.
So the midfield moves up for the moment,
including Joshua Pettis to P12.
This guy better not be listening to my
whizz!
Whizz!
J .P.
now, currently running P12.
He's going to do it again.
Back marker Hayes is now down the lap.
He has to let Bottas pass, or face a fire
second penalty.
Hayes is making it very difficult for
Bottas.
Under the rules, he has to let him through
before passing three blue flags,
or his penalty.
Hey, I'm just putting it out there,
but maybe you should drive.
Sunny, you've got the blue flag.
Let Bottas through.
Come on, you little putt.
Sunny, do you copy?
I do.
Let him through.
Whoops, my man.
And you just ripped me again!
Oh, that's fair, bring out another safety
car!
Given that each win costs
more than 200,000, I think
the team might want Sunny
to start chipping in there.
Guys, this is another free stop.
Please tell me what
books... We're checking.
Keep maps.
Stay up, stay up, George, stay out.
More drivers coming to take fresh tires,
but still Joshua Pearce remains on track.
He's moved up to P11.
Look his back.
I know, I know.
Be rich.
What is he doing?
These are his scores of white.
Tell JP to save his tires.
Joshua, just take care of your tires.
Okay, you have to make them last.
Lost!
No shit, I'll pull for you.
With four laps to go in this stop-and-go
race, thanks to Sunny Hayes, the driver
helped Moses, his teammate, now in 10th
with a 12-second gap ahead of Stroll.
Tell JP to maintain that gap.
Keep pushing.
My tires are gone, man.
What are you waiting for?
Don't be happy.
We have to pull it.
He's losing over a second every lap.
Stand by.
It's a turn two!
Hayes battles with Williams and pushes him
wide!
Seriously, what are we waiting for?
Sunny's on the track!
He's got 2.404!
Oopsie.
Sorry, guys.
That's the third safety car
involving the Inbex GP driver
bringing the Hungarian
Grand Prix to an absolute crawl!
At some three seconds, that would have
kept me tight.
Come on, come on, come on!
What did you say?
Joshua Pearce finally gets to pit.
And with a quick stop here, he can stay in
the top ten!
This is critical.
Pearce must be strolled to the pit exit
line to maintain 10th place.
And he's done it!
Thanks to Sunny Hayes, the race ends under
a safety car!
You're crazy, bro!
It's just 10th.
What are you smiling about?
And behind our podium place, Hamilton and
Piastry complete the top five and Joshua
Pearce in 10th, scoring expensively on the
Inbex GP, their first ever point!
Deal's a deal, I get it.
Yeah, the last place!
Sounds great when you say it.
I know you have to go see
the students today, so what
do you think they're going
to make of your race today?
Well, I have to admit, you guys got this
one right.
I'm thinking, like, we're still paying.
I'm still a bit rusty and,
you know, finding my
way with this car, but
I'm confident we'll get it.
Europa, though, at Silverstone,
a demolition derby here in Hungary.
You've been banned from Casino.
Are you trying to get banned from F1,
take the whole team down with you?
Yeah, you what, Don?
What do you say we make a bet?
Your 10 pounds gets my 10 grand.
We play some Monza, I win your 10.
We don't, you win mine.
Let's do this, man.
Put your money where your mouth is.
Well, I'll take that.
Thank you.
Hey, no more press.
No, sorry.
You don't want to make the media jargon of
it.
And you'll be fined.
Take it out of my paycheck.
We don't pay you enough!
You know, I have to say, I kind of like
it.
It's very... punk
rock for the brand.
Different tire pressures, ride heights.
What was time?
He found half a second.
Do you have the same setup as him?
It must be like I'm seeing double.
Deal's a deal.
A building for combat.
At the Dutch Grand
Prix, you'll be entering
the Tarzan corner at
322 kilometers per hour.
Yeah, too late to change my mind.
Yeah.
To answer your question, I was in
aerospace at Lockheed when Ruben came in
and he liked my work, liked my attitude,
and he sold me on the thrill of fighting
to the death for a tenth of a second,
traveling the world to the roar of a crowd.
So I ran the idea past my husband,
who swiftly became my ex-husband.
Am I?
No.
Do.
you know what time it is?
All right.
Tell me about the kid.
Okay, here's another one my dad would say.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
But what it's worth.
One more time around?
Just one.
Come on.
Never live with myself.
If I can't keep up with you, we stay
1990s.
Let's go.
Joining us today we have Caspar Smolinski,
Zach Brown, and Fred Vasseur.
Now Caspar, can we start
with you after what was a
fantastic result for the team
in Hungary last time out.
But Sunny has got you skirting the line of
penalties and violations.
Is this your only strategy?
And have you got any spare parts left in
the factory?
We compete like everybody else.
Race models change.
We must adapt.
Well, Zach, can we bring you in on this
because you've faced Hayes before.
You know the gray areas in which he works.
Certainly do.
First of all, he's a lot grayer now.
And we keep tabs on him.
You're back there behind us.
And Fred, any concerns from Ferrari?
What does Ferrari think of Apex?
We don't.
A better qualifying yesterday gets us in
the pick of things.
P10, P15.
So we're going to go for a two-stop.
Medium, hard, medium.
That's plan A.
Final stage, we go hard for plan B.
So unless you've any track
concerns... Don't look at me.
Look at him.
It's good for JP.
Start me on hearts.
Not the track's cooled down.
Do you want to have any grip?
That's right.
For three weeks all the talk's been how
reckless I am.
Everyone's wondering if I'm going to drag
them off track.
Which means no one's going to be watching
out for him.
Today, you win us this race.
Meanwhile, Stanley
Hayes is holding up the rest
of the pad, stuck behind
him in a DRS chain.
He looks to be in a straight position to
finish in the top ten.
And maybe even a run to the podium.
But this isn't the way to go in this race.
And with rain potentially or cars off,
anything can happen.
Car is gone.
Coming in.
Yep.
Copy.
Box.
Box.
Apex CP is clapping a fresh set of tyres
for Hayes.
That's going to bring in all the other
teams to avoid the other cars.
Change my mind.
But no.
He's staying out.
With the cars behind him, scramming to get
all the fresh tyres.
And apparently, he doesn't think he needs
any more.
Should we just do the opposite of what
he's asked us to do?
Stand by until I lose my tyres.
Let me handle these tyres.
I think he means literally.
Pulsar, left rear.
Coming in.
And there goes Hayes' tyres.
That's quite a mess.
That can bring up the virtual safety car
for a quick sweep.
So the race gets neutralised, everyone
slows down to 40% of their racing speed,
and all the race This is the perfect time
to take a pit stop.
When you're in the pit lane, your opponents
are restricted to a much slower pace.
And you're not going to lose as much track
position when you rejoin.
I take it you're staying out, right?
Not me.
Don't shoot.
Stay out.
Stay out.
We want you out to gain track position.
Up is down, down is up.
Sonny Hayes hesitated before he left his
pit box.
And he's come out just in front of Max
Verstappen.
Hayes is slowed a bit
in the pit lane, which will
cost the Red Bull and Level
2 Ferraris precious time.
Push Joshua, push.
You're not beat for it.
Beat for it.
Who's coming up from behind?
Here he is.
Joshua Pearce.
Let's see, let's go.
This is all playing into his hands,
and this could be a dream of the loon.
But can Hayes hold Verstappen through the
middle of them?
Verstappen tries in the turn one.
Nothing to be done there.
Gets him through the corner.
Verstappen's trying to get past.
Sonny Hayes looking here in his mirrors.
He must let Max Verstappen through.
And Max shows his disapproval.
I don't blame him.
As they head down towards the second
chicane.
And through goes Joshua Pearce in P4.
Now much closer to the front of the pack.
Just a few laps to go, and the hair gun is
in the rain.
Let's see who plays it
safe with a switch to the
intermediate tyre and who
might gamble to stay out on slits.
You see the trick here?
What's the plan?
We are running P4.
We can P2 or P3 and switch into inters for
safety.
And it looks like P1 is laying out.
What do you want to do?
What's Sonny going to do?
Take a wild guess.
I'm staying out.
And the two Ferraris come in with
intermediate tyres.
Let's see who else decides to play it
safe.
And as Joshua Pearce moves into P2.
Sonny, Joshua is staying out on slits.
If he can hold on to find a dry line he's
going to finish second.
Sonny is further left.
Ok, coming in for enters.
Enter, enter.
No, no, no.
I'm far behind you earlier.
30 seconds.
Oh, my God.
He's going to take out for a second.
Let me know when they hit the main
straight.
Don't tell them.
They penalise both cars.
They will take the win away.
Just trust me, will you?
I'm pushing hard.
I can't catch it.
As the race leaders approach the main
straight Sonny hates it.
Another standoff over team strategy.
Dry line.
Hayes back out onto the track and just in
front of Mustafa.
There will be a blue flag here so Mustafa
can get past.
Until then the Dutch driver is caught off
in Hayes 30th.
With every turn he hangs on.
He slows Mustafa a
fraction of a second providing
Joshua Pearce one
last chance to catch up.
I can see him almost there.
Don't let him follow me.
Joshua, Sonny is your goal.
I'm right behind you.
Mustafa falls away there.
But now, onto the real winning of team
mates car comes Joshua Pearce.
Pearce picks up the slipstream from Hayes.
Gaining time.
But driving right in the spray.
Come on.
Stay with me.
Stay with me now.
Pass.
Pass.
Overtake.
Overtake.
He's been gaining.
Joshua Pearce.
Sonny Hayes.
And now he's in striking distance at P1.
Go JP.
Wait for the straight end to turn one.
Be patient.
Turn.
Turn one.
Joshua.
Sonny said wait for the straight end.
The straight end to turn one.
I'm right behind you.
I've got you.
Pearce is right on the
gearbox to the step and
down the back straight
at over 200 miles an hour.
See you in a bit.
Go for it.
The rookie attacks at 11.
No.
No.
Here's Porzoloz on the Red Bull.
His wheels are hit.
For the first time ever.
He's going to make it.
For God's sake.
Bernard.
How's he doing?
He's stable.
Resting though.
Oh my God.
Very happy tears.
I'm so sorry.
Sonny.
Over here please.
What does that have to be?
Joshua said you're an asshole.
Yeah, that tracks it.
I think you're a dangerous asshole.
Mrs. Pierce.
You're part of the same team, right?
Looking out for each other.
Except you had him doing something so
dangerous it almost got him killed.
Okay.
Listen.
No.
You listen to me.
This is my son.
And if anything else happens to him I'm
coming after you.
And you better worry
I don't put you in a bed
next to Joshua for a
very, very long time.
Okay?
Sure.
Sonny.
Do you.
think... Sonny, calm down.
It was clear that you were running this
race.
Look, you kept him out on slick tires in
dangerous conditions.
Even if you told him not to pass wasn't
the accident inevitable?
Find me.
Find me.
Joshua's back home recovering.
We are expecting his return in a few
weeks.
Until that moment our research driver,
Luca, on this right there will drive and.
..
Next man up.
A chaotic week for a sensor.
Many are blaming him for his teammate's
horrific accident.
Doctors have said that
Pierce will miss the next
three races as he begins
his road to recovery.
Today we're going with our combat upgrade.
The revised shapes will improve the flow
field onto the floor allowing us to run in
dirty air with minimum loss of
performance.
It means we have to keep the field close
at all times.
And Guys, for this week's 5C...
Look, the doctors to the back of the grid
because they don't like the way we drive.
Fine.
Fuck them.
Because if we can pick up the tenth of a
second from you and from you and you and
me if everyone in this
room can make one
critical contribution,
that's a second every lap.
And after 72 laps that's the difference
between last and first.
Plan C.
Plan C is for combat.
Combat.
Combat.
We're going to do this!
We're going to beat Hayes as fast as
possible!
Another fearless attack from Hayes and
here's what he makes TV, his own strength.
Three tenths getting every lap and in the
corners alone.
Scrapping away on the last lap.
Sunny Hayes gets the inside line but he
can't quite get past.
George Russell will hang on here for sixth
place.
And this is AHGB's best ever finish.
It's a Valiant 7.
Come on!
Every race you miss, thanks for getting.
Sunny always seems to be one step ahead.
And in the notes, Sunny made me just have
a turn, maybe just have a turn.
Hayes, Pritzker, Hayes, Dickey through the
infield!
Joshua Pearce is watching but he must be
thinking, what might he be thinking?
He's feeling like a porn star!
BMA!
Who would have believed this race video?
It's a simple Apex GP.
That's the reason why we don't lose it!
If you missed it, he's back.
Last minute of Hayes' breakfast.
Look who's back.
We got you back, KB.
You missed it.
What is happening with this team?
Their first race back together.
If you pull that shit again, I will knock
your teeth out.
No one gets past us without a fight,
right?
Oh, is this funny?
You think you got a seat next year?
Because you just cut your chances in half.
That's how dumb you are!
You failed!
Why should I listen to you anyway,
man?
Look, man, I don't give two shits about
you.
You want to sabotage your career,
you go right ahead.
I've seen hundreds of guys with your
talent come and go.
No one cares!
But you sabotaged Ruben, who backed you,
you sabotaged this team.
I won't let you do it.
Thanks, Coach.
Get your shit together!
So stupid!
How did you set up your race today?
Oh, um... It was good.
The car feels great.
I think the team has done an amazing job.
It's just a shame about the contact with
Sonny.
He hates you that.
Hey.
Hi, honey.
What is the team?
Brilliant, you made it.
Come on, stand.
Sonny, you know Joshua.
Joshua, Sonny.
So, I'm sure you both heard the rumors.
We all lose our jobs if you can't pull off
a miracle.
And that's starting with staying on bloody
track.
We were doing just fine when JP was out.
I was out because I was listening to you.
Please don't call me JP.
It's a nickname.
You don't get to choose.
Your name doesn't ever make sense.
It's a sonny, it's a hazy.
We don't know, do we?
Lads, have I not delivered you a card?
So you can do one thing for me.
Cards.
Come on, I know you have them with you.
It's my team meeting.
We're going to do it my way.
We're playing poker.
Yeah, whoever wins gets to be our number
one driver tomorrow.
And if I win, I get to choose.
Didn't he go before living?
Yeah, now he's living in a van.
Takes a soul man.
So Sonny here like straight talk.
Is that right Sonny?
Yeah, that's what I hear.
So let's talk.
Who wants to go first?
I'll go first.
No, I'll go first.
What's the difference between Joshua
Pierce and Sonny Hayes?
A lot of decades.
Part one experience of living in a van.
Total freedom.
Total failure.
Says a guy who still lives with his mom.
Says a guy with two pets.
Says a guy with trips.
Says a guy with a full house.
Third.
Wait, I don't even live with my mom.
Okay.
She just cooks for me sometimes.
If you had any constructive criticism for
each other, what would it be?
Don't be such an awesome kid.
That was constructive.
You have a deficient frontal cortex.
Oh what?
You can't analyze risk.
It's not all your fault.
It's not fully formed yet in your age.
But come the day you learn
patience and stop being so... Patience.
Patience is good.
Joshua.
He doesn't care about what anyone else has
to say about himself.
He just comes in and poses his wittle on
us with no discussion.
He doesn't listen.
I'm trying.
But he doesn't listen.
Sonny?
What?
What do we have to play?
My dad liked to gamble.
You make big bets too.
Put a big one on me.
How old were you when your father died?
Sonny.
Huh.
Why do you race?
Money, fame and free clothes.
Oh my god with the phone.
Put the thing down will ya?
What do you care what they say?
Easy for you to say they don't love you.
It's just noise man.
Drive the car.
You're really good at it.
You might be great.
Yeah.
Look at that.
Huh?
Number one driver tomorrow.
Hello.
This is nice.
Got to steal ya?
Uncle Sonny you're welcome to come with
me.
Thank you.
Good I have a race tomorrow.
Cool.
Okay.
No thank you.
Come on.
Thanks for this cake.
Come on back.
Girls you mind?
We're gonna go dancing.
Listen.
Let's get this straight.
Okay?
I don't mess around during the season and
never with a member of my team.
And what I'm attracted to is winning.
We just lost our pair of 5s.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Hey!
Oh.
Oh.
Hey.
Last time was Ruben's idea?
Yeah, the first part.
What?
Not the second.
Come on.
Why are you here, Sonny?
Not much of a story.
Okay.
I'm here to prove everyone wrong.
My ex.
My own boss.
My first year uni physics professor.
Bad bastard.
Yeah.
And until we win, I haven't.
So, unfortunately, I now rely on you.
I was gonna be world champion.
Best there ever was.
I'm just a kid and I'm on the track with
my idols.
Senna, Manson, Pross, and I ain't quick.
I'm fearless.
I was next.
And then... it was
all taken away.
Okay, I shouldn't.
So I lost my seat, my money, my sanity,
my... my self, really.
I became this... angry, resentful,
shitted head.
Not something I'm particularly proud of.
The one day I realized what I'd really
lost.
And it wasn't the titles or the trophies
or the records.
It was...
my love for racing.
So I started driving.
Didn't matter the car, the circuit.
Didn't need anyone to watch.
Just as long as I was behind the wheel.
I was good.
Sometimes.
Well, come on.
It's rare.
But sometimes there's this moment in the
car where everything goes quiet.
My heartbeat slows.
It's peaceful.
And I can see everything.
And no one, no one can touch me.
I'm chasing that moment every time I get
in the car.
I don't know when I'll find it again,
but man...
I want to.
I want to.
Because in that moment...
I'm flying.
Ruben?
Where is he?
Where's who?
What are you talking about?
Ruben, seriously?
One, how dare you?
Two, I respect professional boundaries.
And three...
Three, yeah, he's on the balcony.
Well, you're up early.
Good dress.
Hey, what's going on?
They're coming for our car.
It's my duty to inform
you that we've received an
anonymous tip that your
upgraded floor is in violation.
From who?
I can't say.
Sir, we submitted the drawings long ago,
right?
And we approved them all.
It's whether the parts you're racing with
were developed outside of your facility.
What?
I didn't see it.
Based on the paperwork we've received,
there are concerns.
Hang on, where did you get these?
These are internal documents.
This team doesn't break any rules,
sir.
Don't say that with a pinch of salt.
Someone can fabricate documents.
Your car is under review.
You know the procedure.
You cannot race unless you substitute the
previously approved components.
No!
Do you mean our own design?
A shit box!
No, no, we don't care.
Where were you in the last two years?
Why not?
Because we might actually win a race?
Is that it?
This is not car racing.
This is like corporate espionage.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Come here.
I'm talking to you, Sarah.
But if the upgrade were screwed...
Sunny, let it go.
Focus on a clean start.
It never went clean.
Can we just not break any rules?
Yeah, the rules are always against us
though, aren't they?
Get them safe through that one.
Sunny, we just need to keep it in one
piece, okay?
Sunny!
Why do we do this?
What's wrong with tennis?
Or golf?
C5, an infection.
Spinal contusion.
Compressed thoracic vertebrae.
Farther blunt force.
Impact trauma likely to result in visual
loss.
Paralysis death.
You really leave it to good news,
don't they?
This is a report from 30 years ago.
Why didn't you tell me?
You never should have raced a game,
Sunny.
How do you think I'd feel if you died in
the track?
Revenge for Monica.
It's not a joke!
It's me who's liable, Sunny!
No, we're not drivers anymore.
I'm sorry, we're not.
We're losers.
We're a pair of dumb, sentimental,
broke losers.
Okay, you're off the team.
You're actually full of your stuff,
aren't you?
I never should have pulled you into this,
Sunny.
I'm sorry.
Ruben, wait!
I need this.
No one drives forever, Sunny.
Not even you.
Hip hop.
Thoracmonza.
Just like it happened.
In the rain.
Attention!
Sunny says, wait for the string to turn
one.
Run it again, please.
Sunny!
Hey.
You're not an Abu Dhabi?
I fly out tonight.
Yeah, I wanted to catch you.
So, listen.
We both know that the boards want to
unload apex from the start.
But, yeah, then you rode into town,
raised our whole profile.
And now I've got buyers lining up.
Got to be honest with you, man.
I thought you were going to be the final
nail in the coffin.
But now I see the play.
And I want you as part of the package.
What sort of package?
I've set up a sale where I run the team
and keep you on for strategy.
Maybe even team principal.
With the money from that deal,
I can make you a very rich man.
But here's the thing.
With the change of regulations,
new Mercedes power unit, Kate's Aero,
two new drivers.
We've got a real shot at the championship
this year.
What about Ruben?
Don't worry.
You know, we won't embarrass him.
We'll keep him on with a title,
brand ambassador.
You know, something.
And I'm your final say.
Don't change a thing.
Do what you do, man.
But that's the irony here.
You know, the board
originally approved your
hire because we
thought you'd help us lose.
Sorry to make you sweat.
That's my number.
Talk to your people.
But... Right after the race, I
want to lock down the deal, okay?
So by Sunday?
Perfect.
Listen, this thing could be your legacy,
you know?
An F1 champion.
What you always wanted, right?
It was you who forged those documents,
wasn't it?
Huh.
You're a killer, man, aren't you?
Hey, I'm a winner.
Not you, huh?
Okay.
Oh, hey.
How's the back?
Better.
I've got an amazing guy.
I'll, uh... I'll hook you up.
Hail Mary.
You good?
Listen, mum, I want to tell you something.
In Monza, right before the crash,
it was my decision to make a move.
Sonny actually told me to wait.
Hi, Milly.
I've been working the phones with Indycar.
I think I can get you the Tesla,
bro.
They're trying to pull in a new
demographic, obviously.
And the ladies love that smile.
I'm throwing some incentives like flyers
and cars.
Listen, Cash, you can go.
I don't need you today.
Nah, mate, you've got me here next to
them.
I don't care.
They can find you.
Besides, that's not what I'm doing,
right?
It's just starting tomorrow.
We're not doing it anywhere.
It's all just noise.
Media, engagement, followers.
Listen, I've got to focus on the race.
Aunty, please.
Well, you heard the man.
Deal.
Deal.
Yo.
Hey.
Hi.
Hey.
Guys.
What's happening?
Parked for me.
Waiting for FIA to cut the seals.
Good.
We ain't got time, then.
For what?
For...
For.
our most valued guests, please grab a
drink.
Make yourselves at home.
And enjoy the very best view there is of
Formula One.
Stop!
Keep going!
How'd you get here?
Premium economy.
What?
What is this?
Well, that's my bullshit loophole.
Oh, no, forget it.
I'm not even going to read that.
That is a real legal document from a real
Tijuana lawyer weighing all liability to
you and your company vis--vis this race,
myself, and me.
And... Since you owe me my last paycheck,
technically I'm still on this team.
Kate, where's the shit box?
The FIA confirmed
that the documents were
forged and they were sent
by someone from Apex.
Oh.
I don't care about your loophole.
I don't.
That is my card.
You are not raising it.
Really?
No, Sonny, listen.
I can't let you do that.
Okay?
The last thing I do is drive that car.
I will take that life, man.
A thousand times.
We can't wait.
We can't if we don't try.
How come you never look at a car?
What car?
That's your guy, isn't it?
Excuse me for a second.
I'm pretty sorry.
Excuse me.
What the hell?
Just got my phone.
Sonny, son!
Hey, look.
I know we've had our differences.
But look, this is your last F1 race.
The season finale!
Here we are, it's happening.
He saw a bad situation before it happened.
And he's off to a great start.
I hope he hasn't damaged the car.
But despite...
Eight mates in the midfield.
Let's see if they can do anything to shake
up this race.
Get to Leo.
Take your time.
Keep taking it.
Plus 20 seconds.
Plus 20.
Black never pissed off.
You know why.
It's a busy race for Sonny Hayes.
And now here comes Kevin Anderson.
Looking to make a move with this
despicable troll.
There's history between these two.
The leader of this whole force meets the
immovable object.
And Anderson, looking down the inside of
the car.
And hits Hayes.
Much, much, much, much, much.
Copy, coming in for odds.
Sonny is smooth.
Smooth is fast.
Here we go, boys.
Hayes exited the pits.
He had to come in because of that damage
to his tyre.
I'm one of Joshua Pierce.
Where do I bet GP go with him?
Guys, I'm unboxing.
What's the plan?
Fancy, fancy.
Stay out.
Stay out of the...
Chaos.
Copy that.
Joshua slows down the leader for Sonny.
Sonny just saved for him.
Pierce stays out.
It's a strategy that Apex have used before
this season.
It helps him attract position for now.
But they've got to keep these tyres alive.
It's the only way we keep this close.
And then we need luck.
Aren't we handy, eh?
Lap 25 and every driver so far has pitted
on one.
And he leads the race.
Joshua Pierce controlling the pace out in
front.
And that gives his teammate Hayes a chance
to maintain his position in the midfield
despite the contact, puncture and pit
stop.
They're working really well together.
How's GP doing up there?
He's keeping his ears at bay.
DRS active next straight, Sonny.
Got it.
Onto the back straight.
He's enjoying this new upgrade.
And he's got DRS.
And he's got Pierre Gasly.
Sonny, he's up at the P15.
Sonny, you've got the base.
Keep pushing.
Pierre's been doing a great job up front
despite the used tyres.
But that moment is nearly over now.
They're snapping at the inside.
And he's.
for these.
And drops now to P3.
Sorry, guys.
My rear tyre's shot.
Copy that, box.
GP, box, box.
Pierce stretching those tyres to the
limit.
Short-term pain for long-term gain.
And he enters the pit.
He'll have pressure tyres.
He can now attack in the second half of
the race.
Sonny, the three leaders are still on
hard.
They're going to have to stop again.
This is a pit window.
One of the leaders is going to undercut.
I need to beat it when they do.
P3 Ferrari.
Can he beat it to one?
It depends on the stop.
5.8.
He needs to take a half a second.
Sonny, you need half a second.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Sonny Hayes is on the charge.
Under track goes the Ferrari.
Through the first corner goes Sonny Hayes.
It's neck and neck.
It's really tight.
Sonny Hayes is just ahead.
Hayes are closer to the lead.
They're working together.
He's on the top 10, but still a long way
to go.
20 laps remaining.
Apex has worked their way up the order.
We're now at the final pit stop window.
These are Jets from P1.
Make sure JP beats them up.
Hamilton and Leclerc are coming through
the pits.
But Piers stays out.
Talk to me.
Can I catch him?
Yeah, they're just coming up.
Push now, push now, push, push.
Copy, push.
Oh, this is going to be close.
Joshua Piers, itching his head.
Staying that head for the second time in
this race.
Good work, Joshua.
But Piers will have a
hard time holding him
off with Hamilton and
Leclerc on fresh tires.
Four laps to go.
Sonny Hayes is in P4.
He's five seconds behind his teammates,
but both are on old tires.
And here's Hamilton, attacking Piers in
the turn tonight, and he's through.
Nobody has to stop again on our tires at
nine laps older.
And Leclerc attacks and passes.
Piers' tires are absolutely fit.
I'm sorry, guys.
I've got nothing left.
There's been the 8-page GV story all year
long.
Plenty of risks.
A great underdog story.
But we know, boss, you don't need talent.
Crowns are checked here.
There's a grip.
Tires are gone.
Yeah, sadly, the Texans start to case
them.
And now they're out of cards to play.
It ain't over, right?
No, nothing can change.
It's the worst feeling in the world.
Let's go.
George has among the attack.
Hayes would be to defend.
Here they come.
It's a close one.
I don't know.
There's deep wheel over the racetrack and
substantial damage to the barriers.
The Stewards have no choice but to
red-black this race.
Miracle.
And speaking of damage, Martin,
Hayes will only be allowed to continue in
this race If he can
get his car all the way
around the circuit and
back to the pit lane.
Sonny, Sonny can you get it back?
I'll get it back, I'll get it back,
I'll push it back.
Oh Sonny... Nice and easy.
He's still coming, he's still coming.
Jamie, red flag, red flag coming.
We are still arrive, hermano.
Red flag!
And somehow, Sonny Hayes has got his car
back to the pit lane.
Yes, I know, I know.
Never seen one until now.
Long dream.
Good girl.
Let's go.
New shops, both cars raise the tire
pressure for a three quick laps.
Team, time to bring the car.
Red flag roses.
The teams can make
changes, they can make
repairs to their cars,
but only in that pit lane.
And with only ten minutes to make repairs,
they think GP has the world cut out.
And all cars can fit a fresh set of tires
for the entry-lap sprint.
Dad, dad, are you going to make it?
I don't know, I don't know.
That was clean, that wasn't me at this
time.
Not this time?
Tell that to the stewards.
Check the red flag.
I got this.
Lift that corner.
Good, good, good, good.
What the stewards will be looking at is
whether Hayes went off completely or kept
at least one tire on track during the
contact with Russell.
Good?
Yeah, good.
Listen, you were on track.
Yeah, it was your corner, P3 and P4.
Let's go.
Given Hayes' reputation, they'll be
looking at this really, really closely.
I'm not expecting a quick decision.
Come on, that's clearly a penalty,
you know.
I mean, not that's what we want,
but, like, objectively, that's the guy.
Oh, man, it can't end this way.
Just a timeout, like, the last 30 years.
It's in the hands of the racing gods now.
Got to believe, got to believe.
Is he coming on here in the pits?
Oh, look, he comes to the new wing.
This is a massive job.
Yeah, but will the car hold together for
the remaining three laps?
That barrier looks OK now.
The marshals just sweeping the last few
bits of debris off the track.
And the clock continues to tick down.
Yes, just over two minutes until this race
gets underway again.
Three laps.
Three laps to the lifetime.
Go win this thing.
Hey, Sonny, Sonny, you got a minute.
We got you a car.
Oh, you crack.
Thank you.
Because Apex GP didn't make the top ten in
qualifying, they have a new set of soft
tyres available, which will
give them an extra speed
over the cars ahead of
them on the used soft tyres.
This red flag is a lifeline.
You'd almost wonder if Sonny's an
engineer.
But wait, we're the
only cars on fresh tyres
because we sucked
in qualifying yesterday.
Never got a chance to use them.
Sometimes when you lose, you win.
Got a minute since.
It's a sunny day.
Right to the end of the
good ladies' break, we're
off for our second
formation lap of the evening.
But when this race resumes, this is going
to be an epic sprint.
Hamilton, Leclerc, here's Hayes,
that's the top four.
It's Sonny.
Sonny, we just heard from the stewards.
God damn it, now?
We're debating whether to tell you.
Casper says yes, but Kay says done.
She says you're fast when you're angry.
Tell her job well done.
And here's the news.
The stewards have made their decision.
That lap 55 collision between Hayes and
Marcel is ruled a racing incident.
Good for the investigation.
That was your line, Sonny.
Go finish your race.
Joshua, still got two cars in the mix.
Then we've got a team.
Once those red lights go out, this will be
an absolute sprint to the finish.
Position advantage to Mercedes and
Ferrari.
Tire advantage to Apex GP.
Tell JP to follow my lead.
Joshua, Sonny says to follow him.
Follow him?
He's behind me.
Cheeky bastard.
That's it.
Stay with me.
He's giving you a dull take.
It's too late.
Stay with me.
Tell the race leader, Lewis Hamilton.
Yeah, remember me.
It can't work.
Someone has to sacrifice.
No such thing.
The race.
will continue.
Sonny, push, push, push, push.
You'll be one, you'll be one.
Apex GP has only one lap to go.
The question is, do they have the car?
We have the driver.
Sonny, you're getting one.
It's another three years for me again,
right?
Yeah.
I guess we'll check back about that deal.
Assuming you're still on the board.
Dress breaking!
Dress race!
You.
should at least have won.
Yeah baby!
Another race I don't know about.
Somewhere.
What beats this?
I wanted to say, see you down the road.
But in a way it was more poetic.
So... Can I see
you down the road?
Yes.
Hang on to that until then.
And drive fast.
And where do you think you're going?
Don't worry about me.
Come celebrate.
But you're off to where?
You know, a couple more dragons to slay.
It's your team now.
It was your team.
It was always my team.
I'll be watching.
See you around, Swann.
Buenos.
I told you you're looking for a driver.
What's her name?
Sonny Hayes.
Have you ever driven a Bobcat?
Nope.
We can't pay much.
Not about the money.
So what is it about?
Hey Sonny, five minutes.
I'm gonna give you my love.
I'm gonna give you my love.
I'm gonna give you my love.
I'm turning my back to one minute.
It's all gone in six, honey!
It had to ease off when it dropped down to
seven.
You can just hope this isn't over the
night.
Hopeful sunrise catches us a break.
Nothing here much.
It's holding up, but go easy.
The crowds may have gone high,
but the racing continues.
Sonny Hay is back in
the Porsche for beating
Geico, Chippa Racing,
the Midnight Shift.
We all know Haynes likes to light up the
night, but with the BMW at the head of
this pack, he's got a message on the head
of him.
Right out of the gate,
Haynes turns the wheel
in the turn three,
moving up to fourth place.
Sonny, wanna make me pass on the
straights?
Just let me drive, will ya?
Look out!
It's Chad Moves Haynes up another spot!
Sweet baby Jesus, we've got ten more
hours.
Just let Sonny do his thing.
And if these first few laps are a
pre-indication, it appears as though Sonny
Hayes may have left his brake pedal at
home.
Hayes sets his sights on the BMW.
And he attacks!
Here comes Haynes on the outside!
And he does!
With the interior light on the brakes,
he's in the grass!
Can Hayes hang on?
And he does!
Sonny Hayes got his thing!
Sonny Hayes brings in
the fifth lane after an epic
third-step wall puts
Chippard Racing out in front.
Now it's up to Cale Kelso to hang onto
that lead.
Thanks for the heads up, team!
Hey, who's that lead?
I'm killin' ya!
Sonny Hayes!
Sonny Hayes!
I think I know where you'll find you!
I'll screw you!
Let's go, men!
Don't wake me if we lose.
Sonny Hayes!
I believe you forgot something.
Bag's full, Chip.
Seriously?
You first went to Daytona?
Don't you want to touch it?
Come on.
Bad luck.
Bad luck.
Just touch it.
I will take that bonus check though.
Sonny!
Sonny!
Just hear me out.
I want to bring you on board.
Right here next year.
Let's run it back.
We did it, man.
Deal's the deal.
I know what a deal is.
So that's it.
One and done.
I appreciate the seat, Chip.
I really do.
What kind of way is that in a race?
You just spent your whole life starting
over, man.
Take care.
I'll see you down the road.
Hey, don't you want the watch?
I got one!
Sorry,
can I use your phone for a second,
please?
It's not working.
Uh, no.
You know... You remind me
of this friend I used to have.
Which friend?
The friend who dressed better.
This is a gorgeous suit.
So is this.
What did your friend do?
Drove cars.
Was he fast?
Was he slow?
Did he win?
Yeah, he did.
Come here, you son of a bitch.
Oh, no.
Are you thinking Bacca?
Yeah.
New day in challenge.
As I said, you would have said to my son
when I bought the AXGP.
Ah.
How deep in the hole are you?
I'll tell you, but you have to promise not
to laugh.
Shoot.
Three hundred and fifteen.
Man.
No laugh.
Impressive.
Well?
Being fun?
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
What's the problem then?
The problem is two seasons and a half.
Zero points.
My best driver left for another team.
So the car was a shit box.
The team is in last place.
My number two is a rookie.
And the season has come to an end.
How many races left?
Nine.
And if we don't turn it around,
I lose the team.
But you own the team.
No race wins in the first three seasons.
The board can't force a save.
Man, you sound like you need a new board.
I need a new glider.
You got F2, you got F3.
You got an entire assembly line of the
kids raised on the simulator.
No, I don't have time for kids in a
comfortable tent.
I don't.
Well, you don't just walk off the street
and pile up a rocket.
Yes, you can and you've done it before.
That's the whole point.
Wishy home was 57 years old when he won
the Monaco Grand Prix.
Who is who?
Finnimit Alsenam, 56 years old.
Google these names, didn't you?
Some people look at Sonny Hayes,
they see a guy who lives in a van.
A gambling junkie who missed his shot.
Ruben, you are really silly.
But I see.
A guy who makes teams better.
I see experience, I see know-how.
My rookie is a phenomenal talent.
Phenomenal.
But he's young.
You know what he likes?
Maturity.
You plus him.
Boom.
I got a team.
Alright, let's say I'm the next Louis.
You are him.
The problem is, it's not just a driver,
it's a car.
I followed the season, Ruben.
Shitbox has been kind.
I knew you were watching.
What if I told you we'd get an upgrade
package this weekend.
Six months of development.
Ruben.
No, no, no.
Wait, I just need one of my cars across
the finish line.
First one.
I love you.
I'm not going back.
What would he want you to do?
Join a boy band?
Seriously?
Come on.
Seriously, I'd ask him what he's smiling
about.
Come on.
He's smiling at the possibility.
We both know how that ended.
Yeah.
Okay.
This... is a first class
ticket to London.
First class.
I'm offering you an open seat in Formula
One.
The only place you could stay for one day
in your win.
You are the absolute best in the world.
Hey Ruben.
Ever seen a miracle?
Oh yeah.
Me neither.
Good to see you, amigo.
Alright sweetie, here you go.
Thank you.
Let me ask you something.
Close friend of yours made you an offer that
was 100% positively too good to be true.
What do you do?
Well how much are we talking?
Not about the money.
So what is it about?
Hmm.
25 rear.
You are good to push.
Copy.
Battery is full.
Let's restart two.
Good for that.
Purple sector one.
Best one yet.
Car feels good.
Bring him in.
Go to strike one.
Box is locked.
Box is locked.
Let's go find those great lads.
Sorry to show you.
Judy.
Try not to kill that drama.
What's the verdict?
I don't know what's happening to me.
It feels good.
I start to push.
Then I'm upstairs in the slow corners and
upstairs the faster.
Are there entries or exits?
Either.
Both.
Craig, yeah.
There's 10,000 sentences on this thing.
You can't tell me what's going on.
But I'm not out there, am I?
So I'm going to need your help on this.
Please.
$150 million, John Lujan.
So cute.
You just let her drive.
Can't be any worse.
Joshua.
Elizabeth, yeah?
Oh, yeah.
For the press conference, we want to steer
around tech issues and focus on the super
strong bond with your new teammate,
Luca Cortez.
Luca?
Who I've known a week.
The one who was third
banana on the left at Red Bull
told the press he thought
Joshua Pierce was overrated.
That Luca Cortez?
Yes.
Can't wait.
Alright, great.
Thank you.
That's a yes, yeah?
Yes?
Ruben's in big trouble.
He might have to sell the team.
What does that mean for me?
New buyers, unlikely to clean the house.
Listen.
You need to show these people who the
number one driver really is, man.
No.
Or you're going to lose your job.
Yeah.
Let us in, kid.
I told you.
Yeah.
Come.
Okay.
Let's take the first half of the season
and erase it from all minds.
Someone says, Casper, what happened this
year?
I swelled the lives of my children.
I do not freaking know.
There's only this cop.
And there's only our future.
Who is that asshole?
He's with me.
You may have thought I was maintenance.
Send me to the back gate.
Brother, you'll never let me down.
I hope you're still trying, bro.
Hey, Rich GB.
Sonny Hayes.
He raised my finger up in the day.
I'm against you.
Ken McKenna, our technical director.
Dutch Dola, our chief mechanic.
And Casper Smolinski, team principal.
You may know him by reputation.
Five-time constructors champion with
Ferrari.
As a real champion.
So is my pop.
Can't win without.
And I'm telling the rookie, Joshua.
Why does he got a helmet?
Safety.
Joshua.
Your seat is safe.
Sonny is here for the audition.
When was the last time you won a race?
Sunday.
Daytona.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I meant Formula One.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Then same as you.
Never thought I'd say this.
Has anyone seen Luka Cortez?
It's a sidebar being a woman.
When I interviewed with you, many bitter
and dry words.
Yeah, he really turned you down.
Number nine.
How many?
Seven.
That's a lot.
I'm number seven.
You're eight.
This is a disaster.
Sorry if you're more like a man.
Technically, there is one who I've never
heard from yet.
So I am a nine.
You know how numbers work, right?
In business, my most inspired idea is
complete.
Best things in life usually arrive at
night, right?
With respect, Ruben, I cannot
condone the pain that will
only test the giving you a
long lost teammate an audition.
Trust me, you misunderstand.
We're not auditioning him.
He's auditioning us.
Good luck.
New wing, new side pods.
Any changes to the floor?
Not many age-older drivers would have
figured it out.
That's why they call me lucky number nine.
Listen, it's been a while since you've
driven that make, yeah?
The balance on these calls is tricky,
so be careful from time one to nine.
I don't want to see you get hung.
How about we set a reasonable target?
Give me the same setup as him.
If I can't post a lap
time within a second of
J.P.'s, then I will
promptly see myself out.
You're free to take a shot at lucky number
ten, okay?
Ten.
Here's J.P.
Hey!
Let's see what you got.
If he races with Ruben, he races with
Schumacher.
With Senna.
Alright, put up your Swiss extracts.
Tony, quick sissy, stacks it.
Begging a hundred, you're on.
Oh, shh.
Sorry, this is Hugh Nickleby, your race
engineer.
Good morning, do you have my time temp
stuck in?
Yep, almost one minute left.
You should be good to push.
Hugh?
Yes, sir?
You should have taken that bet.
It could be that.
Go for a lap.
No.
Shit.
He's dead.
Come on.
Don't do that.
I'm buried.
Wait.
Wait... Now!
The car is there, come on!
Let's get in!
Yep, all good!
Yeah, she's got something.
Yeah, you mean had something.
But definitely snapping the highest speed
corners.
Unpredictable in the lowest.
Had trouble with the rears, turned 14,
No, that's on me.
He passed.
He was entirely self-imposed, tested by
five hundredths of a second.
Huh...
Well... Oh, yeah.
Bro, we got nine races to catch the eye of
another team.
And as your manager, I
have to advise you that we
need to start hitting these
social and sponsor events.
You need more engagement, Josh.
More flowers.
You need it, I'm starving.
Nah, gotta see someone though.
Yeah?
Hey, take a picture, post that shit.
Send it to me, I'll post that shit.
That's my mom.
Don't you dare post that shit.
I knew he was gonna say it.
Okay, baby?
Yeah, just tired.
Back tires or the engine?
Come on, mommy, you don't know about cars.
Fasty.
Alright, I may not know much about cars,
but I know a lot about you.
Go.
I might leave my seat if the team don't
win a race.
Any race.
There are other teams?
Yeah, there's 20 seats where they're all
filled.
Plus, there's this new guy in.
He's old.
How old?
Like really old, like 80.
He's such an asshole, mom.
He's quite dumb.
Don't mind that.
Focus on you.
You can spend your
whole life worrying about
other people, but
your time is right now.
You still love it?
Of course I still love it.
Then remember what your father used to
say.
Put your head down and drive.
Yes, ma'am.
Music.
Music Music Music.
Thought your job was to build the fastest
car on the planet.
My job is wind.
So helps to feed it.
Mysterious Voos at apex GP.
Who have finally
announce the driver who will
take their second seat
and in a bizarre twist.
It's American Sonic Hayes.
Who hasn't raced in Formula One for over
three decades!
Son of an IndyCar mechanic,
Hayes was considered something
of a reckless young phenomenon,
the greatest, who never was.
His former career being brought to
an abrupt halt by horrific accidents ...
at the Spanish Grand Prix.
He reappeared a decade later in racing
championships as diverse as Le Mans,
NASCAR, the Dakar Rally, and even as stint
as a New York taxi driver.
But now, he's back, racing
for a team which has in its
entire F1 history never
even finished in the top ten.
None of this will dampen speculation that
majority shareholder Cervantes Capital are
looking to sell the team,
and if they do, that will likely
also bring an end to the
career of F1 rookie Joshua Piers.
Just for times, they say, he called for
desperate measures, but I honestly cannot
recall a driver signing quite as desperate
as this.
Boy, look at my son.
That's the one.
That's the other driver.
Yeah, that's him and his stupid face.
Well, you said he was old, he's not that
old.
Hey, Josh, you want a next shot anywhere?
Nine races means nine times you have to
beat Chuck Norris.
For now, we'll start by winning over the
press.
Yeah?
You ready?
Cool, let's go.
That's a handsome man right there.
Joshua, hey, it's been an undeniably messy
start to your season.
No wins, car problems throughout,
and now you have another new teammate.
How is that feeling finding him?
Messy start doesn't mean you can't finish
neat, right?
Apex have a fireproof engine there,
some confident will come back fire.
In terms of new teammates,
I think it's really wonderful
that Apex are giving second
chances to the elderly.
Yes, next question.
Thank you.
Yes, Don, yeah.
Mr. Harington, Don Kalash, young.
Welcome back to the UK.
It's been a while.
I mean, last time you raced in
Silverstone, Bill Clinton was your
president, and we were all dancing the
Macarena.
Must be surreal to be back.
Yeah.
And during that decade, you gave up racing
and gambled professionally.
Uh-huh.
Before declaring yourself personally
bankrupt.
Yeah.
You had a marriage at Nile and two more in
it in divorce.
Yeah.
I don't think you wish you'd done
differently.
Yeah.
No more questions.
Thank you.
Yes, George.
What's wrong with you?
Before me?
I'm before you.
Okay, here he comes.
Apologize.
Apologize?
I can't do that.
How do you mean, why not?
Because it's a sign of weakness.
It's a sign of strength.
Sign of weakness.
Your idea is just to win.
Ma'am, I can't.
You can.
You will.
Hey, man.
I've been at a press conference and stuff.
I said it wasn't cool.
So, basically what I'm trying to say is...
I'm sorry.
It's alright.
You just wear it on quicker than you.
Hi, I'm Sonny.
Bernadette Pierce.
Nice to meet you.
Pleasure.
It's all good.
I'll see you out there.
How are you feeling?
So good.
Good.
You good?
Good.
No pressure?
No.
Great.
Welcome along to Silverstone.
The circuit where on the first day of 1950,
the Formula One World Championship began.
Today, we kick off the final five races of
this thrilling championship season.
Here on the 77th British Grand Prix.
As always, eleven teamers will take the
grid, fielding two drivers each.
With race order determined by the
qualifying time set yesterday.
Red Bull will start on pole.
Followed by the two McLarens and two
Ferraris.
Drivers... ...will
start on pole.
Here we go.
I believe it's your register.
You know, Ruben's Inferno.
Seriously, man, I'm up for it.
I've been trying to survive.
I honestly don't think I've ever known so
much about car times.
It's incredible.
I'm taking back my danger.
Here we go.
That.
was the car.
It takes down to the top of the hour.
It's time to get things going here in
Silverstone.
It's formation lap first.
One tour of the track.
And a chance for the drivers to warm up
their tyres and brakes.
Oh no, there's a problem for Apex.
That's Hayes in V22.
His car hasn't moved.
Hang on, I've got power trouble.
It's start mode.
Start mode on.
Yes, a lesson for everyone at home.
New car, do read the manual.
It's been a while since he was out on the
track in this race.
He's not even going to get into the grace.
There he goes.
And he's away at last.
Thank goodness for that.
If he falls too far behind
on the formation lap,
he'll be a sister having
to start in the pit lane.
Where's Sully?
He told us up.
Yep, just checking.
What's wrong with his car?
What?
Nothing.
With the clear track
ahead, Hayes has been
able to push much harder
on this formation lap.
He'll turn up at the back of the grid with
warm tyres, ready to go.
Cheeky shit.
It's on purpose.
What is this guy doing?
This is actually now turning into an
advantage for Sully Hayes.
And he's just made it in.
Watch.
out.
The drivers, it's lights out and away they
go.
Using those warm tyres to carve his way
through the back of the field.
And if you ever need confidence in your
car, it's here at Silverstone.
Hayes is just sailing past me.
He's moved up seven places since the
start.
The ACP has really struggled with this
car.
But they've brought an operating package
this weekend.
They seem to have made a difference as
Hayes attacks Perez in the red bull.
Hayes complaining about his car over the
radio.
That's not what the team wants to hear.
Copy gap is 0.9 to the res.
He's in the DRS range.
He should be able to take him on the next
straight.
Hayes now uses the track reduction system
to get past.
We'll be able to hold him off guys.
He's got no grip.
This is trouble now for Apex GP.
The red bull's tyres are now warm.
And Hayes hasn't got his tyre advantage
from the start anymore.
We've seen the attack.
Now it's all about defence.
And Perez on the attack into mile.
Hayes is in trouble.
This could be the place he's reversed.
And it is.
You're in the sluice.
Tell me if you see a fix.
Tell him to pull back the entry to get a
better exit.
He thinks it's a setup.
It's us.
20 laps down.
Please, make Joshua Perez is strictly down
there at the moment.
Guys, get me off these socks.
I'm going backwards.
Copy that.
The stakes couldn't be higher for rookie
Joshua Perez.
This is not where you want to be in last
race.
I can't make up.
Hit something.
What was that?
Oh, a 7 second pit stop.
Apex GP won't be happy with that.
That's double the time it should have
taken.
Last three.
It's bugs.
Bugs.
Copy that.
A bug.
Big bugs.
Bugs.
And here comes Sonny Hayes for a fresh set
of tyres.
He'll be hoping these will help him hold
on to his current position.
A big 15.
Jack is not working properly.
This is causing absolute pandemonium.
This is the Apex GP business.
Whatever could go wrong is going wrong for
this team.
And coming out of the pit, he's just ahead
of his teammates.
That's Pearson Hayes.
Come on for you old man.
I've got bigger position.
Stand by.
Josh is faster.
Sonny's on cold tyres.
Yeah, okay, Sonny.
Not fighting that through.
Sonny, no fighting.
Who's fighting?
I'm racing.
Pearson on the inside.
Hayes on the outside.
Hayes trying to make you meet concrete up
against the open wall there.
Joshua, you're going to have to fight for
position.
You are wrecking Sonny.
Hey, fuck.
They're giving absolutely no quarter.
For benefit to their teammate at all.
They're pushing as if they're trying to
win a Grand Prix.
But this is the battle for last place,
remember.
And what a brawl it is.
This is mad.
The Cardinal's sin of motor racing.
And double tier back.
Just when it couldn't get any worse.
With a blackened goal.
That's a tough one, man.
We can't corner.
We're bouncing around the place like we're
one of the bloody two.
And now we think it's cool till we will go
to the pit box.
Who even was that?
That was me.
Of course.
Old man.
You're losing your hearing.
What was that?
You want to do this here?
Yeah, I'd love to do this here in front of
the team, right?
The one that you apparently called.
Okay.
You made a mistake.
It happens.
I made a mistake.
I love this guy.
Don't worry about it, Joey.
Why are you even listening to me?
No!
Stop!
Josh is mad.
An ogre is an ogre.
May I remind you that you report to me?
Cool.
Just don't ask me to give you that
position.
Sorry.
Sorry, guys.
Hold on.
You swan into our garage like some
entitled prick.
What man?
Pulling us piss forward and you drive like
that.
Huh?
You said a swan.
What's that mean?
You!
You're an asshole!
You come in like an asshole!
You swan!
So swans are assholes.
You're making the mistake
of thinking that I'm just going to
be some grateful kid who
will bend a knee to an old timer.
I climbed a mountain to get here,
bro.
Full new one!
Back home we called that a participation
trophy.
Yeah!
What the hell are you smiling about,
man?
Did you win something?
There's 20 other drivers still out on that
track.
And you're in here posing for that
nonsense?
You think you need them to respect us?
Do you?
They need to learn that no one gets past
us without a fight.
No one.
You don't like the way I'm driving?
Beat me, swan.
Had a little race, huh?
Woo!
Sorry, I didn't see you.
Still beating yourself up?
Yeah.
Yeah, I know that one.
Um, thanks for what you said out there.
Just don't do it again, okay?
Makes me look like I need help.
You're right.
Got it.
Pain from what it's done.
Don't beat yourself.
There's plenty of people out there to do
that for you.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, Ruben, for demolishing
not one but both of your
lovely cars for coming back
into your life only to destroy it.
Is this your revenge for Monica?
Yeah, I waited 30
years and came all this
way to humiliate myself
in global television.
Honey, you think I brought you in to make
my other driver quit?
Listen, he's cocky, he's arrogant,
he's got a lot to learn.
You were cocky, you were arrogant,
and you had a lot to learn.
I'm not here to hold anyone's hand.
I'm here to race.
No, you're not.
Sonny, you're here to give me a hard time.
The war is not my ass, and...
I have to decide whether to continue this
fiasco or pull the plug now.
You have till the end of the season.
By which time Apex will be worth less than
my shoes!
Sonny!
To make that cake.
The car.
I want to talk to you about the car.
She's the world's first female tech
director to have one team of genetics balls.
Wow.
Just like a lion.
Shields your way through it.
Not a lion.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
She married?
Okay, stay there!
You're not travel guides until Budapest.
You don't move.
Hey Ruben.
Can't get there with this car.
Yeah, sorry I handled the plan.
I'm trying to pick us up a tenth or so.
Cool.
And you can replicate turns?
Battle air flow?
No, just straight line drag.
Well, I mean, we can kind of get air from
there.
Okay, what about turbulent air from a car
would follow?
No, not exactly, but...
Track conditions?
Surface quality?
Weather?
Ambient temps?
I'm sorry.
Was there something that you wanted to
discuss?
Kate?
You read my mind.
So how does one get to be the first female
technical director of an F1 team?
Let's take it.
Dedication.
Lots of hard work.
That's your urgent question.
Plenty of people think I don't belong
here.
I'm happy to add you to the list if you're
implying what I... I don't imply stuff.
See, like straight talk.
Straight as an arrow.
No sugar.
Everyone thinks Ruben's lost it.
That he's clutching at straws.
They're saying maybe he lost a bet.
Ren over your dog.
They're saying Sonny Hayes isn't a
has-been.
He's a never-was.
Yeah, when I said it like straight talk,
I meant me.
From others, I mostly prefer praise,
flattery, hero-worship.
At times, straight up bullshit.
Is that what Ruben's for?
Ruben, I love the guy.
Most solid, steadfast.
He'd ask if I was married.
Disloyal, mean, twisted, bitter,
husk of a man.
Yeah, and he also told me about a big
string of ex-wives and irl-friends.
He said to avoid you like the plague.
Let me explain this.
When you're going
200 miles per hour into a
rouge, it's good to know
that it got your back.
And for the record, in
all my years in racing, I
have never, ever hit on
the team technical director.
Well, ma'am, that's a huge weight off my
mind.
So what's this urgent question?
Okay.
Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston, McLaren,
all have a speed on straight line speed.
Our shot is battling on the turns.
I need a way to chase it through the dirty
air.
You want me to redesign so you can follow
closer?
We need to build a car for combat.
How am I supposed to write that safe?
Who said anything about safe?
That's your question.
Yeah.
And here's the straight talk.
It's urgent.
You know, I bet when you look in the
mirror, you see this rough-and-tumble,
old-school, no-bullshit cowboy.
Doesn't take orders, goes his own way,
huh?
A lone wolf.
Well, I have news for you.
Formula One is a team sport.
It always was.
And maybe that's why you failed at it.
The only question here is, why did Sonny
Hayes come back to F1?
Now, that question is extremely fucking
urgent.
I'll start listening to you when you
finish your race.
Oh, baby,
now Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah Oh,
baby.
At the Spanish Grand Prix, the American
rookie Sonny Hayes had just signed a new
contract and his future looked very
bright.
He'd earned a reputation for his aggressive
driving style, seen by some as reckless.
It nevertheless served him well as he
climbed up the order over the course of
the season, relentlessly pursuing his
first F1 victory.
Hayes was running well in the opening
laps, chasing down race leader Etta Senna.
However, when Hayes made a risky move and
attacked Senna on the outside of a
high-speed right-hand turn, a frightening
scene unfolded as quick as a flash.
The predictor teams are going to be
targeting a one-stop race.
The plan is to switch from mediums to
hard, between lap 27 and 33.
Plan B would be medium-hard-medium,
first window 16 to 21, second 45 to 51.
Plan C for soft doesn't make sense.
At this temp, the tyre deck will be too
high.
Madness?
Yeah, Joshua.
So, we've just got to drive our brakes.
Let's not try and be heroes.
Let's make it through those first turns
clean.
Can't win at lap one, starting at the
back.
We've just got to hope for some lucky
brakes later on.
Right?
Yeah.
Create your own brakes.
Hello, hi.
I just said that.
Hope is not a strategy.
Anything else, Professor?
Try fast.
Next door!
Leaving them with nowhere to go!
3 cars gone off!
Gatsby, Ocon, and the Albertari of Sonona!
8th-degree change of tyres.
They were puncturing right rear box.
Boxeslap first got that turn.
A rude race.
Shit, shit, shit.
Ah, shit.
Plan A, let's go!
Let's go Plan C.
No, Plan C's for soft tyres.
They won't let us.
10 laps in a seat.
That's a negative sign.
Plan A's gone, Plan A.
You see anything going right?
Plan C, soft!
It's not his car.
Tell him A.
That's an asshole.
Okay, yes sir!
What's wrong with the car?
Are you insane?
We need hot cars!
Everybody here is on a one-stop race!
If we do what everybody does, we lose!
Make it go!
You think I'm not on my tyres?
I was on a journey!
Five chapters of Davos for bad freaking
hunts!
Give me the tyres.
Okay, let's go!
Let's go, let's go!
Straight to the red!
Are you ready?
Ready for what?
Where's your piece in?
I'm currently running before team.
Chase him, carry Magnussen!
It's a live launch!
Any driver knows Magnussen will shut the
door on a clumsy move like that.
Ah, definitely.
So that will bring out a safety car,
which always shakes up a race,
slows down the leaders, leaves the field
bunched up together, and gives teams the
chance for a quick pit stop, which only
costs half the usual time!
Safety car unboxed, am I right?
Standby.
Okay, can we take a man to go?
Safety car window is open.
It's early, we gave track position to stay
out.
Stay out, stay out.
Watch you out.
So the midfield moves up for the moment,
including Joshua Pettis to P12.
This guy better not be listening to my
whizz!
Whizz!
J .P.
now, currently running P12.
He's going to do it again.
Back marker Hayes is now down the lap.
He has to let Bottas pass, or face a fire
second penalty.
Hayes is making it very difficult for
Bottas.
Under the rules, he has to let him through
before passing three blue flags,
or his penalty.
Hey, I'm just putting it out there,
but maybe you should drive.
Sunny, you've got the blue flag.
Let Bottas through.
Come on, you little putt.
Sunny, do you copy?
I do.
Let him through.
Whoops, my man.
And you just ripped me again!
Oh, that's fair, bring out another safety
car!
Given that each win costs
more than 200,000, I think
the team might want Sunny
to start chipping in there.
Guys, this is another free stop.
Please tell me what
books... We're checking.
Keep maps.
Stay up, stay up, George, stay out.
More drivers coming to take fresh tires,
but still Joshua Pearce remains on track.
He's moved up to P11.
Look his back.
I know, I know.
Be rich.
What is he doing?
These are his scores of white.
Tell JP to save his tires.
Joshua, just take care of your tires.
Okay, you have to make them last.
Lost!
No shit, I'll pull for you.
With four laps to go in this stop-and-go
race, thanks to Sunny Hayes, the driver
helped Moses, his teammate, now in 10th
with a 12-second gap ahead of Stroll.
Tell JP to maintain that gap.
Keep pushing.
My tires are gone, man.
What are you waiting for?
Don't be happy.
We have to pull it.
He's losing over a second every lap.
Stand by.
It's a turn two!
Hayes battles with Williams and pushes him
wide!
Seriously, what are we waiting for?
Sunny's on the track!
He's got 2.404!
Oopsie.
Sorry, guys.
That's the third safety car
involving the Inbex GP driver
bringing the Hungarian
Grand Prix to an absolute crawl!
At some three seconds, that would have
kept me tight.
Come on, come on, come on!
What did you say?
Joshua Pearce finally gets to pit.
And with a quick stop here, he can stay in
the top ten!
This is critical.
Pearce must be strolled to the pit exit
line to maintain 10th place.
And he's done it!
Thanks to Sunny Hayes, the race ends under
a safety car!
You're crazy, bro!
It's just 10th.
What are you smiling about?
And behind our podium place, Hamilton and
Piastry complete the top five and Joshua
Pearce in 10th, scoring expensively on the
Inbex GP, their first ever point!
Deal's a deal, I get it.
Yeah, the last place!
Sounds great when you say it.
I know you have to go see
the students today, so what
do you think they're going
to make of your race today?
Well, I have to admit, you guys got this
one right.
I'm thinking, like, we're still paying.
I'm still a bit rusty and,
you know, finding my
way with this car, but
I'm confident we'll get it.
Europa, though, at Silverstone,
a demolition derby here in Hungary.
You've been banned from Casino.
Are you trying to get banned from F1,
take the whole team down with you?
Yeah, you what, Don?
What do you say we make a bet?
Your 10 pounds gets my 10 grand.
We play some Monza, I win your 10.
We don't, you win mine.
Let's do this, man.
Put your money where your mouth is.
Well, I'll take that.
Thank you.
Hey, no more press.
No, sorry.
You don't want to make the media jargon of
it.
And you'll be fined.
Take it out of my paycheck.
We don't pay you enough!
You know, I have to say, I kind of like
it.
It's very... punk
rock for the brand.
Different tire pressures, ride heights.
What was time?
He found half a second.
Do you have the same setup as him?
It must be like I'm seeing double.
Deal's a deal.
A building for combat.
At the Dutch Grand
Prix, you'll be entering
the Tarzan corner at
322 kilometers per hour.
Yeah, too late to change my mind.
Yeah.
To answer your question, I was in
aerospace at Lockheed when Ruben came in
and he liked my work, liked my attitude,
and he sold me on the thrill of fighting
to the death for a tenth of a second,
traveling the world to the roar of a crowd.
So I ran the idea past my husband,
who swiftly became my ex-husband.
Am I?
No.
Do.
you know what time it is?
All right.
Tell me about the kid.
Okay, here's another one my dad would say.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
But what it's worth.
One more time around?
Just one.
Come on.
Never live with myself.
If I can't keep up with you, we stay
1990s.
Let's go.
Joining us today we have Caspar Smolinski,
Zach Brown, and Fred Vasseur.
Now Caspar, can we start
with you after what was a
fantastic result for the team
in Hungary last time out.
But Sunny has got you skirting the line of
penalties and violations.
Is this your only strategy?
And have you got any spare parts left in
the factory?
We compete like everybody else.
Race models change.
We must adapt.
Well, Zach, can we bring you in on this
because you've faced Hayes before.
You know the gray areas in which he works.
Certainly do.
First of all, he's a lot grayer now.
And we keep tabs on him.
You're back there behind us.
And Fred, any concerns from Ferrari?
What does Ferrari think of Apex?
We don't.
A better qualifying yesterday gets us in
the pick of things.
P10, P15.
So we're going to go for a two-stop.
Medium, hard, medium.
That's plan A.
Final stage, we go hard for plan B.
So unless you've any track
concerns... Don't look at me.
Look at him.
It's good for JP.
Start me on hearts.
Not the track's cooled down.
Do you want to have any grip?
That's right.
For three weeks all the talk's been how
reckless I am.
Everyone's wondering if I'm going to drag
them off track.
Which means no one's going to be watching
out for him.
Today, you win us this race.
Meanwhile, Stanley
Hayes is holding up the rest
of the pad, stuck behind
him in a DRS chain.
He looks to be in a straight position to
finish in the top ten.
And maybe even a run to the podium.
But this isn't the way to go in this race.
And with rain potentially or cars off,
anything can happen.
Car is gone.
Coming in.
Yep.
Copy.
Box.
Box.
Apex CP is clapping a fresh set of tyres
for Hayes.
That's going to bring in all the other
teams to avoid the other cars.
Change my mind.
But no.
He's staying out.
With the cars behind him, scramming to get
all the fresh tyres.
And apparently, he doesn't think he needs
any more.
Should we just do the opposite of what
he's asked us to do?
Stand by until I lose my tyres.
Let me handle these tyres.
I think he means literally.
Pulsar, left rear.
Coming in.
And there goes Hayes' tyres.
That's quite a mess.
That can bring up the virtual safety car
for a quick sweep.
So the race gets neutralised, everyone
slows down to 40% of their racing speed,
and all the race This is the perfect time
to take a pit stop.
When you're in the pit lane, your opponents
are restricted to a much slower pace.
And you're not going to lose as much track
position when you rejoin.
I take it you're staying out, right?
Not me.
Don't shoot.
Stay out.
Stay out.
We want you out to gain track position.
Up is down, down is up.
Sonny Hayes hesitated before he left his
pit box.
And he's come out just in front of Max
Verstappen.
Hayes is slowed a bit
in the pit lane, which will
cost the Red Bull and Level
2 Ferraris precious time.
Push Joshua, push.
You're not beat for it.
Beat for it.
Who's coming up from behind?
Here he is.
Joshua Pearce.
Let's see, let's go.
This is all playing into his hands,
and this could be a dream of the loon.
But can Hayes hold Verstappen through the
middle of them?
Verstappen tries in the turn one.
Nothing to be done there.
Gets him through the corner.
Verstappen's trying to get past.
Sonny Hayes looking here in his mirrors.
He must let Max Verstappen through.
And Max shows his disapproval.
I don't blame him.
As they head down towards the second
chicane.
And through goes Joshua Pearce in P4.
Now much closer to the front of the pack.
Just a few laps to go, and the hair gun is
in the rain.
Let's see who plays it
safe with a switch to the
intermediate tyre and who
might gamble to stay out on slits.
You see the trick here?
What's the plan?
We are running P4.
We can P2 or P3 and switch into inters for
safety.
And it looks like P1 is laying out.
What do you want to do?
What's Sonny going to do?
Take a wild guess.
I'm staying out.
And the two Ferraris come in with
intermediate tyres.
Let's see who else decides to play it
safe.
And as Joshua Pearce moves into P2.
Sonny, Joshua is staying out on slits.
If he can hold on to find a dry line he's
going to finish second.
Sonny is further left.
Ok, coming in for enters.
Enter, enter.
No, no, no.
I'm far behind you earlier.
30 seconds.
Oh, my God.
He's going to take out for a second.
Let me know when they hit the main
straight.
Don't tell them.
They penalise both cars.
They will take the win away.
Just trust me, will you?
I'm pushing hard.
I can't catch it.
As the race leaders approach the main
straight Sonny hates it.
Another standoff over team strategy.
Dry line.
Hayes back out onto the track and just in
front of Mustafa.
There will be a blue flag here so Mustafa
can get past.
Until then the Dutch driver is caught off
in Hayes 30th.
With every turn he hangs on.
He slows Mustafa a
fraction of a second providing
Joshua Pearce one
last chance to catch up.
I can see him almost there.
Don't let him follow me.
Joshua, Sonny is your goal.
I'm right behind you.
Mustafa falls away there.
But now, onto the real winning of team
mates car comes Joshua Pearce.
Pearce picks up the slipstream from Hayes.
Gaining time.
But driving right in the spray.
Come on.
Stay with me.
Stay with me now.
Pass.
Pass.
Overtake.
Overtake.
He's been gaining.
Joshua Pearce.
Sonny Hayes.
And now he's in striking distance at P1.
Go JP.
Wait for the straight end to turn one.
Be patient.
Turn.
Turn one.
Joshua.
Sonny said wait for the straight end.
The straight end to turn one.
I'm right behind you.
I've got you.
Pearce is right on the
gearbox to the step and
down the back straight
at over 200 miles an hour.
See you in a bit.
Go for it.
The rookie attacks at 11.
No.
No.
Here's Porzoloz on the Red Bull.
His wheels are hit.
For the first time ever.
He's going to make it.
For God's sake.
Bernard.
How's he doing?
He's stable.
Resting though.
Oh my God.
Very happy tears.
I'm so sorry.
Sonny.
Over here please.
What does that have to be?
Joshua said you're an asshole.
Yeah, that tracks it.
I think you're a dangerous asshole.
Mrs. Pierce.
You're part of the same team, right?
Looking out for each other.
Except you had him doing something so
dangerous it almost got him killed.
Okay.
Listen.
No.
You listen to me.
This is my son.
And if anything else happens to him I'm
coming after you.
And you better worry
I don't put you in a bed
next to Joshua for a
very, very long time.
Okay?
Sure.
Sonny.
Do you.
think... Sonny, calm down.
It was clear that you were running this
race.
Look, you kept him out on slick tires in
dangerous conditions.
Even if you told him not to pass wasn't
the accident inevitable?
Find me.
Find me.
Joshua's back home recovering.
We are expecting his return in a few
weeks.
Until that moment our research driver,
Luca, on this right there will drive and.
..
Next man up.
A chaotic week for a sensor.
Many are blaming him for his teammate's
horrific accident.
Doctors have said that
Pierce will miss the next
three races as he begins
his road to recovery.
Today we're going with our combat upgrade.
The revised shapes will improve the flow
field onto the floor allowing us to run in
dirty air with minimum loss of
performance.
It means we have to keep the field close
at all times.
And Guys, for this week's 5C...
Look, the doctors to the back of the grid
because they don't like the way we drive.
Fine.
Fuck them.
Because if we can pick up the tenth of a
second from you and from you and you and
me if everyone in this
room can make one
critical contribution,
that's a second every lap.
And after 72 laps that's the difference
between last and first.
Plan C.
Plan C is for combat.
Combat.
Combat.
We're going to do this!
We're going to beat Hayes as fast as
possible!
Another fearless attack from Hayes and
here's what he makes TV, his own strength.
Three tenths getting every lap and in the
corners alone.
Scrapping away on the last lap.
Sunny Hayes gets the inside line but he
can't quite get past.
George Russell will hang on here for sixth
place.
And this is AHGB's best ever finish.
It's a Valiant 7.
Come on!
Every race you miss, thanks for getting.
Sunny always seems to be one step ahead.
And in the notes, Sunny made me just have
a turn, maybe just have a turn.
Hayes, Pritzker, Hayes, Dickey through the
infield!
Joshua Pearce is watching but he must be
thinking, what might he be thinking?
He's feeling like a porn star!
BMA!
Who would have believed this race video?
It's a simple Apex GP.
That's the reason why we don't lose it!
If you missed it, he's back.
Last minute of Hayes' breakfast.
Look who's back.
We got you back, KB.
You missed it.
What is happening with this team?
Their first race back together.
If you pull that shit again, I will knock
your teeth out.
No one gets past us without a fight,
right?
Oh, is this funny?
You think you got a seat next year?
Because you just cut your chances in half.
That's how dumb you are!
You failed!
Why should I listen to you anyway,
man?
Look, man, I don't give two shits about
you.
You want to sabotage your career,
you go right ahead.
I've seen hundreds of guys with your
talent come and go.
No one cares!
But you sabotaged Ruben, who backed you,
you sabotaged this team.
I won't let you do it.
Thanks, Coach.
Get your shit together!
So stupid!
How did you set up your race today?
Oh, um... It was good.
The car feels great.
I think the team has done an amazing job.
It's just a shame about the contact with
Sonny.
He hates you that.
Hey.
Hi, honey.
What is the team?
Brilliant, you made it.
Come on, stand.
Sonny, you know Joshua.
Joshua, Sonny.
So, I'm sure you both heard the rumors.
We all lose our jobs if you can't pull off
a miracle.
And that's starting with staying on bloody
track.
We were doing just fine when JP was out.
I was out because I was listening to you.
Please don't call me JP.
It's a nickname.
You don't get to choose.
Your name doesn't ever make sense.
It's a sonny, it's a hazy.
We don't know, do we?
Lads, have I not delivered you a card?
So you can do one thing for me.
Cards.
Come on, I know you have them with you.
It's my team meeting.
We're going to do it my way.
We're playing poker.
Yeah, whoever wins gets to be our number
one driver tomorrow.
And if I win, I get to choose.
Didn't he go before living?
Yeah, now he's living in a van.
Takes a soul man.
So Sonny here like straight talk.
Is that right Sonny?
Yeah, that's what I hear.
So let's talk.
Who wants to go first?
I'll go first.
No, I'll go first.
What's the difference between Joshua
Pierce and Sonny Hayes?
A lot of decades.
Part one experience of living in a van.
Total freedom.
Total failure.
Says a guy who still lives with his mom.
Says a guy with two pets.
Says a guy with trips.
Says a guy with a full house.
Third.
Wait, I don't even live with my mom.
Okay.
She just cooks for me sometimes.
If you had any constructive criticism for
each other, what would it be?
Don't be such an awesome kid.
That was constructive.
You have a deficient frontal cortex.
Oh what?
You can't analyze risk.
It's not all your fault.
It's not fully formed yet in your age.
But come the day you learn
patience and stop being so... Patience.
Patience is good.
Joshua.
He doesn't care about what anyone else has
to say about himself.
He just comes in and poses his wittle on
us with no discussion.
He doesn't listen.
I'm trying.
But he doesn't listen.
Sonny?
What?
What do we have to play?
My dad liked to gamble.
You make big bets too.
Put a big one on me.
How old were you when your father died?
Sonny.
Huh.
Why do you race?
Money, fame and free clothes.
Oh my god with the phone.
Put the thing down will ya?
What do you care what they say?
Easy for you to say they don't love you.
It's just noise man.
Drive the car.
You're really good at it.
You might be great.
Yeah.
Look at that.
Huh?
Number one driver tomorrow.
Hello.
This is nice.
Got to steal ya?
Uncle Sonny you're welcome to come with
me.
Thank you.
Good I have a race tomorrow.
Cool.
Okay.
No thank you.
Come on.
Thanks for this cake.
Come on back.
Girls you mind?
We're gonna go dancing.
Listen.
Let's get this straight.
Okay?
I don't mess around during the season and
never with a member of my team.
And what I'm attracted to is winning.
We just lost our pair of 5s.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Hey!
Oh.
Oh.
Hey.
Last time was Ruben's idea?
Yeah, the first part.
What?
Not the second.
Come on.
Why are you here, Sonny?
Not much of a story.
Okay.
I'm here to prove everyone wrong.
My ex.
My own boss.
My first year uni physics professor.
Bad bastard.
Yeah.
And until we win, I haven't.
So, unfortunately, I now rely on you.
I was gonna be world champion.
Best there ever was.
I'm just a kid and I'm on the track with
my idols.
Senna, Manson, Pross, and I ain't quick.
I'm fearless.
I was next.
And then... it was
all taken away.
Okay, I shouldn't.
So I lost my seat, my money, my sanity,
my... my self, really.
I became this... angry, resentful,
shitted head.
Not something I'm particularly proud of.
The one day I realized what I'd really
lost.
And it wasn't the titles or the trophies
or the records.
It was...
my love for racing.
So I started driving.
Didn't matter the car, the circuit.
Didn't need anyone to watch.
Just as long as I was behind the wheel.
I was good.
Sometimes.
Well, come on.
It's rare.
But sometimes there's this moment in the
car where everything goes quiet.
My heartbeat slows.
It's peaceful.
And I can see everything.
And no one, no one can touch me.
I'm chasing that moment every time I get
in the car.
I don't know when I'll find it again,
but man...
I want to.
I want to.
Because in that moment...
I'm flying.
Ruben?
Where is he?
Where's who?
What are you talking about?
Ruben, seriously?
One, how dare you?
Two, I respect professional boundaries.
And three...
Three, yeah, he's on the balcony.
Well, you're up early.
Good dress.
Hey, what's going on?
They're coming for our car.
It's my duty to inform
you that we've received an
anonymous tip that your
upgraded floor is in violation.
From who?
I can't say.
Sir, we submitted the drawings long ago,
right?
And we approved them all.
It's whether the parts you're racing with
were developed outside of your facility.
What?
I didn't see it.
Based on the paperwork we've received,
there are concerns.
Hang on, where did you get these?
These are internal documents.
This team doesn't break any rules,
sir.
Don't say that with a pinch of salt.
Someone can fabricate documents.
Your car is under review.
You know the procedure.
You cannot race unless you substitute the
previously approved components.
No!
Do you mean our own design?
A shit box!
No, no, we don't care.
Where were you in the last two years?
Why not?
Because we might actually win a race?
Is that it?
This is not car racing.
This is like corporate espionage.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Come here.
I'm talking to you, Sarah.
But if the upgrade were screwed...
Sunny, let it go.
Focus on a clean start.
It never went clean.
Can we just not break any rules?
Yeah, the rules are always against us
though, aren't they?
Get them safe through that one.
Sunny, we just need to keep it in one
piece, okay?
Sunny!
Why do we do this?
What's wrong with tennis?
Or golf?
C5, an infection.
Spinal contusion.
Compressed thoracic vertebrae.
Farther blunt force.
Impact trauma likely to result in visual
loss.
Paralysis death.
You really leave it to good news,
don't they?
This is a report from 30 years ago.
Why didn't you tell me?
You never should have raced a game,
Sunny.
How do you think I'd feel if you died in
the track?
Revenge for Monica.
It's not a joke!
It's me who's liable, Sunny!
No, we're not drivers anymore.
I'm sorry, we're not.
We're losers.
We're a pair of dumb, sentimental,
broke losers.
Okay, you're off the team.
You're actually full of your stuff,
aren't you?
I never should have pulled you into this,
Sunny.
I'm sorry.
Ruben, wait!
I need this.
No one drives forever, Sunny.
Not even you.
Hip hop.
Thoracmonza.
Just like it happened.
In the rain.
Attention!
Sunny says, wait for the string to turn
one.
Run it again, please.
Sunny!
Hey.
You're not an Abu Dhabi?
I fly out tonight.
Yeah, I wanted to catch you.
So, listen.
We both know that the boards want to
unload apex from the start.
But, yeah, then you rode into town,
raised our whole profile.
And now I've got buyers lining up.
Got to be honest with you, man.
I thought you were going to be the final
nail in the coffin.
But now I see the play.
And I want you as part of the package.
What sort of package?
I've set up a sale where I run the team
and keep you on for strategy.
Maybe even team principal.
With the money from that deal,
I can make you a very rich man.
But here's the thing.
With the change of regulations,
new Mercedes power unit, Kate's Aero,
two new drivers.
We've got a real shot at the championship
this year.
What about Ruben?
Don't worry.
You know, we won't embarrass him.
We'll keep him on with a title,
brand ambassador.
You know, something.
And I'm your final say.
Don't change a thing.
Do what you do, man.
But that's the irony here.
You know, the board
originally approved your
hire because we
thought you'd help us lose.
Sorry to make you sweat.
That's my number.
Talk to your people.
But... Right after the race, I
want to lock down the deal, okay?
So by Sunday?
Perfect.
Listen, this thing could be your legacy,
you know?
An F1 champion.
What you always wanted, right?
It was you who forged those documents,
wasn't it?
Huh.
You're a killer, man, aren't you?
Hey, I'm a winner.
Not you, huh?
Okay.
Oh, hey.
How's the back?
Better.
I've got an amazing guy.
I'll, uh... I'll hook you up.
Hail Mary.
You good?
Listen, mum, I want to tell you something.
In Monza, right before the crash,
it was my decision to make a move.
Sonny actually told me to wait.
Hi, Milly.
I've been working the phones with Indycar.
I think I can get you the Tesla,
bro.
They're trying to pull in a new
demographic, obviously.
And the ladies love that smile.
I'm throwing some incentives like flyers
and cars.
Listen, Cash, you can go.
I don't need you today.
Nah, mate, you've got me here next to
them.
I don't care.
They can find you.
Besides, that's not what I'm doing,
right?
It's just starting tomorrow.
We're not doing it anywhere.
It's all just noise.
Media, engagement, followers.
Listen, I've got to focus on the race.
Aunty, please.
Well, you heard the man.
Deal.
Deal.
Yo.
Hey.
Hi.
Hey.
Guys.
What's happening?
Parked for me.
Waiting for FIA to cut the seals.
Good.
We ain't got time, then.
For what?
For...
For.
our most valued guests, please grab a
drink.
Make yourselves at home.
And enjoy the very best view there is of
Formula One.
Stop!
Keep going!
How'd you get here?
Premium economy.
What?
What is this?
Well, that's my bullshit loophole.
Oh, no, forget it.
I'm not even going to read that.
That is a real legal document from a real
Tijuana lawyer weighing all liability to
you and your company vis--vis this race,
myself, and me.
And... Since you owe me my last paycheck,
technically I'm still on this team.
Kate, where's the shit box?
The FIA confirmed
that the documents were
forged and they were sent
by someone from Apex.
Oh.
I don't care about your loophole.
I don't.
That is my card.
You are not raising it.
Really?
No, Sonny, listen.
I can't let you do that.
Okay?
The last thing I do is drive that car.
I will take that life, man.
A thousand times.
We can't wait.
We can't if we don't try.
How come you never look at a car?
What car?
That's your guy, isn't it?
Excuse me for a second.
I'm pretty sorry.
Excuse me.
What the hell?
Just got my phone.
Sonny, son!
Hey, look.
I know we've had our differences.
But look, this is your last F1 race.
The season finale!
Here we are, it's happening.
He saw a bad situation before it happened.
And he's off to a great start.
I hope he hasn't damaged the car.
But despite...
Eight mates in the midfield.
Let's see if they can do anything to shake
up this race.
Get to Leo.
Take your time.
Keep taking it.
Plus 20 seconds.
Plus 20.
Black never pissed off.
You know why.
It's a busy race for Sonny Hayes.
And now here comes Kevin Anderson.
Looking to make a move with this
despicable troll.
There's history between these two.
The leader of this whole force meets the
immovable object.
And Anderson, looking down the inside of
the car.
And hits Hayes.
Much, much, much, much, much.
Copy, coming in for odds.
Sonny is smooth.
Smooth is fast.
Here we go, boys.
Hayes exited the pits.
He had to come in because of that damage
to his tyre.
I'm one of Joshua Pierce.
Where do I bet GP go with him?
Guys, I'm unboxing.
What's the plan?
Fancy, fancy.
Stay out.
Stay out of the...
Chaos.
Copy that.
Joshua slows down the leader for Sonny.
Sonny just saved for him.
Pierce stays out.
It's a strategy that Apex have used before
this season.
It helps him attract position for now.
But they've got to keep these tyres alive.
It's the only way we keep this close.
And then we need luck.
Aren't we handy, eh?
Lap 25 and every driver so far has pitted
on one.
And he leads the race.
Joshua Pierce controlling the pace out in
front.
And that gives his teammate Hayes a chance
to maintain his position in the midfield
despite the contact, puncture and pit
stop.
They're working really well together.
How's GP doing up there?
He's keeping his ears at bay.
DRS active next straight, Sonny.
Got it.
Onto the back straight.
He's enjoying this new upgrade.
And he's got DRS.
And he's got Pierre Gasly.
Sonny, he's up at the P15.
Sonny, you've got the base.
Keep pushing.
Pierre's been doing a great job up front
despite the used tyres.
But that moment is nearly over now.
They're snapping at the inside.
And he's.
for these.
And drops now to P3.
Sorry, guys.
My rear tyre's shot.
Copy that, box.
GP, box, box.
Pierce stretching those tyres to the
limit.
Short-term pain for long-term gain.
And he enters the pit.
He'll have pressure tyres.
He can now attack in the second half of
the race.
Sonny, the three leaders are still on
hard.
They're going to have to stop again.
This is a pit window.
One of the leaders is going to undercut.
I need to beat it when they do.
P3 Ferrari.
Can he beat it to one?
It depends on the stop.
5.8.
He needs to take a half a second.
Sonny, you need half a second.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Sonny Hayes is on the charge.
Under track goes the Ferrari.
Through the first corner goes Sonny Hayes.
It's neck and neck.
It's really tight.
Sonny Hayes is just ahead.
Hayes are closer to the lead.
They're working together.
He's on the top 10, but still a long way
to go.
20 laps remaining.
Apex has worked their way up the order.
We're now at the final pit stop window.
These are Jets from P1.
Make sure JP beats them up.
Hamilton and Leclerc are coming through
the pits.
But Piers stays out.
Talk to me.
Can I catch him?
Yeah, they're just coming up.
Push now, push now, push, push.
Copy, push.
Oh, this is going to be close.
Joshua Piers, itching his head.
Staying that head for the second time in
this race.
Good work, Joshua.
But Piers will have a
hard time holding him
off with Hamilton and
Leclerc on fresh tires.
Four laps to go.
Sonny Hayes is in P4.
He's five seconds behind his teammates,
but both are on old tires.
And here's Hamilton, attacking Piers in
the turn tonight, and he's through.
Nobody has to stop again on our tires at
nine laps older.
And Leclerc attacks and passes.
Piers' tires are absolutely fit.
I'm sorry, guys.
I've got nothing left.
There's been the 8-page GV story all year
long.
Plenty of risks.
A great underdog story.
But we know, boss, you don't need talent.
Crowns are checked here.
There's a grip.
Tires are gone.
Yeah, sadly, the Texans start to case
them.
And now they're out of cards to play.
It ain't over, right?
No, nothing can change.
It's the worst feeling in the world.
Let's go.
George has among the attack.
Hayes would be to defend.
Here they come.
It's a close one.
I don't know.
There's deep wheel over the racetrack and
substantial damage to the barriers.
The Stewards have no choice but to
red-black this race.
Miracle.
And speaking of damage, Martin,
Hayes will only be allowed to continue in
this race If he can
get his car all the way
around the circuit and
back to the pit lane.
Sonny, Sonny can you get it back?
I'll get it back, I'll get it back,
I'll push it back.
Oh Sonny... Nice and easy.
He's still coming, he's still coming.
Jamie, red flag, red flag coming.
We are still arrive, hermano.
Red flag!
And somehow, Sonny Hayes has got his car
back to the pit lane.
Yes, I know, I know.
Never seen one until now.
Long dream.
Good girl.
Let's go.
New shops, both cars raise the tire
pressure for a three quick laps.
Team, time to bring the car.
Red flag roses.
The teams can make
changes, they can make
repairs to their cars,
but only in that pit lane.
And with only ten minutes to make repairs,
they think GP has the world cut out.
And all cars can fit a fresh set of tires
for the entry-lap sprint.
Dad, dad, are you going to make it?
I don't know, I don't know.
That was clean, that wasn't me at this
time.
Not this time?
Tell that to the stewards.
Check the red flag.
I got this.
Lift that corner.
Good, good, good, good.
What the stewards will be looking at is
whether Hayes went off completely or kept
at least one tire on track during the
contact with Russell.
Good?
Yeah, good.
Listen, you were on track.
Yeah, it was your corner, P3 and P4.
Let's go.
Given Hayes' reputation, they'll be
looking at this really, really closely.
I'm not expecting a quick decision.
Come on, that's clearly a penalty,
you know.
I mean, not that's what we want,
but, like, objectively, that's the guy.
Oh, man, it can't end this way.
Just a timeout, like, the last 30 years.
It's in the hands of the racing gods now.
Got to believe, got to believe.
Is he coming on here in the pits?
Oh, look, he comes to the new wing.
This is a massive job.
Yeah, but will the car hold together for
the remaining three laps?
That barrier looks OK now.
The marshals just sweeping the last few
bits of debris off the track.
And the clock continues to tick down.
Yes, just over two minutes until this race
gets underway again.
Three laps.
Three laps to the lifetime.
Go win this thing.
Hey, Sonny, Sonny, you got a minute.
We got you a car.
Oh, you crack.
Thank you.
Because Apex GP didn't make the top ten in
qualifying, they have a new set of soft
tyres available, which will
give them an extra speed
over the cars ahead of
them on the used soft tyres.
This red flag is a lifeline.
You'd almost wonder if Sonny's an
engineer.
But wait, we're the
only cars on fresh tyres
because we sucked
in qualifying yesterday.
Never got a chance to use them.
Sometimes when you lose, you win.
Got a minute since.
It's a sunny day.
Right to the end of the
good ladies' break, we're
off for our second
formation lap of the evening.
But when this race resumes, this is going
to be an epic sprint.
Hamilton, Leclerc, here's Hayes,
that's the top four.
It's Sonny.
Sonny, we just heard from the stewards.
God damn it, now?
We're debating whether to tell you.
Casper says yes, but Kay says done.
She says you're fast when you're angry.
Tell her job well done.
And here's the news.
The stewards have made their decision.
That lap 55 collision between Hayes and
Marcel is ruled a racing incident.
Good for the investigation.
That was your line, Sonny.
Go finish your race.
Joshua, still got two cars in the mix.
Then we've got a team.
Once those red lights go out, this will be
an absolute sprint to the finish.
Position advantage to Mercedes and
Ferrari.
Tire advantage to Apex GP.
Tell JP to follow my lead.
Joshua, Sonny says to follow him.
Follow him?
He's behind me.
Cheeky bastard.
That's it.
Stay with me.
He's giving you a dull take.
It's too late.
Stay with me.
Tell the race leader, Lewis Hamilton.
Yeah, remember me.
It can't work.
Someone has to sacrifice.
No such thing.
The race.
will continue.
Sonny, push, push, push, push.
You'll be one, you'll be one.
Apex GP has only one lap to go.
The question is, do they have the car?
We have the driver.
Sonny, you're getting one.
It's another three years for me again,
right?
Yeah.
I guess we'll check back about that deal.
Assuming you're still on the board.
Dress breaking!
Dress race!
You.
should at least have won.
Yeah baby!
Another race I don't know about.
Somewhere.
What beats this?
I wanted to say, see you down the road.
But in a way it was more poetic.
So... Can I see
you down the road?
Yes.
Hang on to that until then.
And drive fast.
And where do you think you're going?
Don't worry about me.
Come celebrate.
But you're off to where?
You know, a couple more dragons to slay.
It's your team now.
It was your team.
It was always my team.
I'll be watching.
See you around, Swann.
Buenos.
I told you you're looking for a driver.
What's her name?
Sonny Hayes.
Have you ever driven a Bobcat?
Nope.
We can't pay much.
Not about the money.
So what is it about?
