Formula 1: Drive to Survive (2019) s05e03 Episode Script

Matter of Principal

1
[tropicale music playing]
[reporter] Good morning, Miami.
We're a couple of days away
from the first ever Grand Prix
in our lovely city,
and I don't know about you guys,
but I'm feeling pretty pumped!
- [woman] Are you hot? You're good?
- [Leclerc] I am good.
[woman] Great.
- [Leclerc] I am perfect. [chuckles]
- You are perfect.
[director] Charles, one, take one, marker.
All right, let's roll cameras and sound.
[Leclerc whistles]
[producer] What's your goal this season?
To be a World Champion. This is my goal.
[director] And action.
Hey. That is amazing.
[director] Scene, Carlos,
take one, marker.
[director] And action.
Drive to Survive, Season?
[producer] Season 5.
A good number.
As a gentleman,
I insisted that you went
- No, sorry. Again.
- [beeps]
- This is my dream car.
- [camera man] Yeah?
- Yeah, it is.
- [director] And action.
As a gentleman, I insisted
Uh.
- As a gentleman, I insisted that you
- [horn honks]
[director] Quiet on set!
Rolling sound over here.
- [crew member] We're rolling sound.
- [indistinct chatter]
Shut the fuck!
[Leclerc] All right. Sorry.
Carlos will hate me.
[dramatic stinger]
[intense music playing]
[presenter 1] Hello there, Miami.
[presenter 2] Good evening, everybody!
How are you tonight?
[Horner] What is this thing tonight?
I think it's meant to be
a little bit like a Super Bowl opening.
[Horner] Okay.
[dance music playing]
- [Leclerc in French] We're gonna be fine?
- [Binotto] I'm sure we will.
[in English] Wait, wait. All good?
[producer] Mattia, you still have no gray
in your hair.
You obviously have no stress in your life.
- Yeah, that's why.
- Yeah. [chuckles]
- [woman 1] Come in. Hello.
- [woman 2] Hi.
- Ciao!
- Copy that.
Ciao. Hi, darling. Thanks for coming.
- [Russell] You been in the sun?
- Huh?
You look red.
[Ricciardo] Yeah, I know.
[Russell] You'll be beautiful tomorrow.
[chuckles]
- [man] How are you?
- [Binotto] Good.
You're looking good. You're dressed up.
Now you're winning,
you get dressed up, you get fancy.
That's why.
The best dressed man is Laurent.
I'm still not winning even.
- Yeah!
- [all chuckle]
[in Italian]
The season started very well.
[commentator 1 in English]
Celebrations for Ferrari!
- [Padros] P1!
- [Leclerc] Let's go!
That's exactly how
we should start the season.
[commentator 1] Max Verstappen is out!
[Lambiase] Stop the car.
[Verstappen] Engine's shitting itself.
[commentator 1] And it is a one-two finish
for the Scuderia.
[in Italian] Being competitive means
being part of the battle.
[commentator 1 in English] Charles Leclerc
wins the Australian Grand Prix.
[commentator 2] Oh, and Verstappen,
just as we saw in Bahrain,
retiring from the race.
[crowd cheering]
[Binotto in Italian] In our field,
in this sport, results are everything.
[commentator 1 in English] This is gonna
be a tough result to take for Red Bull.
- How you doing?
- How are you? You okay? All good.
- Ready?
- Yeah. I think it's gonna be a bit crazy.
- [Norris] All right, mate?
- [indistinct chatter]
Coming into this year,
Ferrari are looking seriously quick.
They've got a great car,
they've got a great lineup,
and it's just gut wrenching.
Are you feeling excited
that your, uh, car is doing well?
- We are happy.
- That's good.
- Great! Good for you.
- [chuckles]
- Great feeling.
- [Geri] So nice.
Not gonna be too fast
this weekend, are you?
- We'll be very fast.
- Yeah.
[all laughing]
[Binotto in Italian] This year, finally
there are all the conditions to do well.
Our objective is
to win the World Championship.
[presenter in English]
We need to bring out our next team.
Make some noise for Mattia Binotto
and the Championship leader,
Charles Leclerc!
Ferrari, ladies and gentlemen.
[presenter 1]
Miami, bounce. Bounce, Miami!
- [car clattering]
- [engine roaring]
[dramatic stinger]
[upbeat rock music playing]
[commentator 3] Welcome to Miami.
The first ever Formula 1 Grand Prix
to be held in the spectacular
metropolitan area of Miami in Florida.
[cheering]
- All good?
- [fan] All good.
The waves are not too high?
You are stable?
- It's just right.
- That's good.
Breaking America is very important.
Oh, say can you see ♪
By the dawn's early light ♪
We are ready to
to sing the American national anthem.
[tropicale music playing]
Very nice.
I'm pretty convinced that we are
just scratching the surface of this market
and that we are just at the beginning
of the journey.
I'm very excited.
[crowd cheering]
Everyone has been talking about Miami GP.
[team member]
I think it's gonna live up to the hype.
Who are you? What are you driving?
- I'm a DHL driver.
- DHL driver.
I deliver packages. What do you need?
Love you.
- How are you? Can you sign my hat, please?
- [Norris] Sure.
- I love you.
- [chuckles]
[Norris] Miami's cool.
Pretty awesome place
to go to and to race in.
[fan] Come on, Daniel!
- [Ricciardo] How are you?
- I'm blessed.
There you go, dude. Thanks.
It is an experience, and it's pretty wild.
It's cool to be part of it.
[music fades]
[producer] Do you ever
get pulled over by the police?
- Once.
- [producer] Really?
Yeah. Only once.
They asked for a picture,
and they let me go.
[both chuckle]
[indistinct chatter in Italian]
[Leclerc]
Miami feels definitely very special.
It is my first time here.
- [fan 1] Charles Leclerc!
- [fan 2] Charles Leclerc!
[Leclerc] It feels amazing.
Ferrari is meant to be fighting for wins.
- [staff member] What's up? How you doing?
- Hey. All good?
[Leclerc] And I think this year
we have an opportunity to do so,
so we need to give it all.
There's a lotta haters
when you're at the top.
But it's better to be starting first,
so hopefully we'll have a good result.
[Sainz] Miami is so packed up
of fans, celebrities
that you're there thinking
it must be really cool to win this race.
[Binotto in Italian] Arriving into Miami,
I think it's incredible
to see everything that's been done,
what a show it will be.
[in English] Thank you. Good luck today.
- [team member] Thank you.
- Pole position. Number one.
We try. We try.
[fan] Forza Ferrari.
[distant cheering]
[Binotto in Italian]
We feel this responsibility.
We know that the Americans want to see
a Ferrari that lives up to its name.
Winning is what we do.
[brakes screeching]
[in English] No, no, no!
The wall. The wall. The wall.
[Leclerc] Oh my God.
- She's not happy.
- [Sainz] Wow.
She's angry. I don't know.
Maybe because of the burnout.
[both chuckle]
Will they clean the track?
- It's crazy, huh?
- It's strange, no?
Strange.
Like, there is a lot of, uh
- It's still peeling off, know what I mean?
- Yeah, yeah.
Oh my God. Tires are going to be dead.
[Buxton] Nobody knows the track.
It's brand new.
But from what we've seen
so far this season,
it could be and it should be
somewhere where Ferrari excel.
[dramatic stinger]
[intense music playing]
[wheel gun whirring]
That's hot. Literally hot.
[commentator 1]
Ferrari on form during qualifying.
The front row has been locked out
by Carlos Sainz
and the championship leader
Charles Leclerc.
What can they bring us
for this race this afternoon?
- [Horner] Hi.
- Hello!
Hey. How are you?
Good to see you.
- How are you doing?
- Very good indeed.
Ferrari doing well
is just great for the series.
Exactly.
I mean, they are Formula 1
Mamma mia!
[crowd cheering]
It's fucking carnage.
[Domenicali] Hey, Phil Collins.
[indistinct]
[in Italian] Mamma mia.
What have you done?
- [in English] Fucking Super Bowl.
- [cheering]
[dramatic music playing]
[singer] Oh, say can you see ♪
By the dawn's early light ♪
O'er the land ♪
Of the free ♪
And the home ♪
Of the brave? ♪
[crowd cheering]
[indistinct radio announcement]
[Domenicali] Franz.
- Formula 1 is dangerous.
- [both chuckle]
[inaudible]
- Now we have the race.
- Now we got the race.
- I wish you all the best.
- Thank you.
[intense music playing]
[Pérez] Ferrari will be very strong.
That, we know.
The pressure is really high.
Everyone is looking at you,
what you're doing, right or wrong.
And you have to deliver.
[crowd chanting]
Checo! Checo! Checo! Checo!
You get, eh, extra focused
because it's a completely new track.
[Verstappen]
It's gonna be new for everyone,
and it's really unknown
of, you know, how you're gonna perform.
Charles is way up the road
in terms of the Championship.
We really need to be more competitive.
[Buxton] If Ferrari win in Miami,
they are going to put a stranglehold
on the World Championship.
[intense music playing]
[Verstappen] Radio check.
[Lambiase] Loud and clear, Max.
[Horner] Two Ferraris on the front row.
The target for us is Charles.
[Padros] And radio check, Charles.
[Leclerc] Yeah, radio check okay.
[Adami] And radio check, Carlos.
[Sainz] All good.
[Horner] Carlos is a very talented driver.
He is there to back Charles,
so strategy is gonna play a crucial role
in the outcome of this race,
to close the points down to Charles
and to really get ourselves
back into this championship.
[indistinct chatter]
[in Italian] Good luck.
[wheel gun whirring]
[in English] Whenever you are fighting
for top positions, there's more scrutiny.
And especially if you are driving
for Ferrari,
it's not just for you, but it's also
for the tifosi all around the world.
This comes with more pressure.
[Domenicali in Italian]
Here's Matti.
[in English] Ready to go?
[in Italian] Charles has the potential
to become the champion.
But to succeed,
his skills won't be enough.
You need a car that measures up,
and also a team.
[engines buzzing]
- [beep]
- [intense music playing]
[Sainz in English] Racing is pressure.
[beep]
Charles is starting P1.
[beep]
So if I want to defend from Max
[beep]
I'm the one that cannot put a foot wrong.
[beep]
[Sainz breathing heavily]
- [dramatic stinger]
- [engines roaring]
[commentator 1]
A great reaction from Charles Leclerc.
Verstappen and Sainz, it's wheel to wheel.
Sainz has just lost out to Verstappen,
who gets up into second place.
[scattered cheers]
Yes! Come on!
[Joseph] Lando,
how's the tires? How's the pace?
[Norris] Yeah,
it's a fast pace at the minute.
[commentator 1] Max Verstappen is gaining
on Charles Leclerc.
[Lambiase] Last lap
was two tenths faster than Leclerc.
Keep pushing him.
[Verstappen] Yeah, yeah.
- Come on, boy.
- Come on, boy.
[commentator 1] Max Verstappen
on the inside has got Charles Leclerc
and has taken the lead.
- Yeah!
- Yes!
Come on!
[applause]
[Lambiase] Excellent job, Max.
[commentator 2] So Verstappen
leads Leclerc with Sainz in third,
and Pérez hunting him down in fourth.
[Pérez] What is the gap to Carlos?
[Bird] 0.9.
[Adami] Pérez 0.7 behind. 0.7.
Be careful.
[commentator 2] There's Lando Norris.
[Joseph] Lando, in front is Gasly.
He collided with Alonso,
so even more points are available.
[Gasly] Yeah, I have a problem.
The car doesn't turn.
[commentator 1] Oh dear!
Lando Norris has made contact
with the AlphaTauri of Pierre Gasly.
[Norris] I'm out, boys.
Fuck. Sorry about that.
[commentator 1] Suddenly,
things might just get more dramatic.
[Lambiase] Okay, Max, safety car deployed.
[Bono] So car is stopped on
the left-hand side, but debris everywhere.
[Buxton] You're leading the race.
You take the decision
to pit under a safety car,
and the guy in second position doesn't,
they jump you. They go ahead of you.
but you've gained a massive advantage
in having faster tires
for the remaining part of the race.
[Stallard] Daniel, safety car.
Would you want a soft tire from here?
[Ricciardo] Yep. Yes, yes.
[Sainz] If Pérez pits,
think about pitting?
[Horner] Going into a Grand Prix,
you talk about all options.
You talk about one-stops, two-stops,
you know,
different scenarios, safety cars.
For that two-hour period,
you've got to give everything
and and just be absolutely on it.
[Bird] Box, Checo, box.
[Pérez] Copy.
[commentator 3] Checo's pitting.
[commentator 2] This'll give him
fresh tires to mount a new attack
on Carlos Sainz.
[wheel gun whirring]
[commentator 4] Sergio Pérez right back
in the game with that.
[Padros] Stay out. Stay out.
[Adami] We believe these tires
will be good for the restart.
We are staying out. Staying out.
[commentator 3] It's surprising Ferrari
weren't more punchy in that strategy.
They've got two cars there
to try and win this race.
[Leclerc] Where do we end up
if we pit on the next lap?
It's too late, no?
[Padros] Yeah, we can't stop
on the next lap. It's too late now.
[Bird] Both Ferraris have stayed out.
[Pérez] What is going on?
[Horner]
They missed it with both of their cars.
Otherwise they would have had
a significant advantage.
[Bird] Okay, nice job. Nice job.
The Ferraris are on old hards.
The race is on.
[Lambiase] Safety car in pit lane.
[commentator 1]
We go racing here in Miami once again.
Pérez already on the tail of Carlos Sainz.
[Sainz] If you can achieve
some more full throttle,
that would be helpful.
[Bird] You are a match
for the Ferraris in the straight line.
DRS enabled.
[commentator 1]
Pérez is close and getting closer
and has got DRS and is gonna go for it!
Down the inside into turn one!
But he's outbraked himself.
[Pérez] Aw, fuck's sake.
[Adami] How many more laps
at this pace can you do?
[Sainz] Let's see. I have no idea.
[commentator 1] Verstappen now 1.2 seconds
clear of Leclerc.
[Lambiase] That's a good pace, Max.
Leclerc's struggling.
The gap has increased.
[Leclerc]
The car is so difficult to drive.
I'm struggling to get grip in the tires.
[Padros] Copy.
[commentator 2]
Verstappen pulling away lap after lap,
and Leclerc, on old tires, can't respond.
[commentator 1]
Max Verstappen started third on the grid.
He is gonna turn that into victory.
And Max Verstappen wins in Miami!
[crowd cheering]
[Verstappen] Yes!
What a fucking race, mates.
That was nice.
[distant cheering]
[Padros] And P2.
[Leclerc] Yeah.
Wow.
[Adami] And P3.
[Sainz] Yeah. That was tough at the end.
[grunts]
[Horner] Thank God Ferrari missed it.
- [team member] What did Ferrari do?
- I don't know. I mean, why
If they'd have pitted
I mean, they missed it with one,
and then missed it with Sainz.
[team member] I watched Leclerc go past,
and thought GPS must be wrong.
[Horner] Would've been tight for Leclerc,
but if they'd have been on it
Winning for us in Miami is a big result.
It It makes the championship tables
look a lot more healthy.
We managed to get it right,
and Ferrari managed to get themselves
tied in knots a little bit.
Pretty close, huh?
[Binotto] Not enough.
[team member] Congrats.
Miami, you know,
we really got on top of things.
The team did an amazing job
with the strategy
because we were third and fourth.
[Horner] Well done, Maxi!
[in Italian]
In the management of the race,
here in Miami,
they had something more than us,
just a little bit more.
It will be something to learn.
We made a mistake.
But for a driver,
when they have the opportunity to win,
and they don't do it,
it is always difficult.
- [team member in English] Think positive.
- [team member 2] Exactly.
Think positive.
["Carmen: Suite 1" by Bizet playing]
[intense music playing]
[Buxton in English] After Miami,
what's starting to become evident
with Ferrari
are the mistakes that are creeping in
race after race.
[commentator 2] All looking pretty good
for Ferrari at the moment.
Charles Leclerc leading the Monaco
Grand Prix as the rain eases off.
[Adami] Box, Carlos.
[commentator 1] Sainz is gonna pit.
Hang on a minute.
Is Charles Leclerc coming in too?
- [Padros] And box now. Box.
- [Leclerc] Okay.
[Padros] Eh, stay out. Stay out.
[Leclerc] Fuck! Fuck!
Why? What are you doing?!
[commentator 4]
He's now lost the lead of the Grand Prix.
[commentator 1]
Red Bull win the Monaco Grand Prix!
Charles Leclerc.
[commentator 4]
He's not even on the podium after that.
[Leclerc] No words. No words.
But we cannot do that.
- [Binotto] Charles.
- We cannot do that.
Ferrari have got their best opportunity
at fighting for a World Championship
in a generation,
but they will throw it away
if they cannot start
making better decisions.
[notification tweets]
[in Italian]
We remain focused on what we need to do,
aware that we are making mistakes.
[in English] Charles was going bananas.
They really fucked up.
They told him, "Come in, stay out."
- They got confused? What was going on?
- [Horner] They got confused.
I think because of the strategy, yeah.
The team principal is
finally responsible for the strategy,
and I think it's quite painful
for a team principal
if the strategy goes wrong.
[commentator 2]
There's our race leader, Charles Leclerc.
[Leclerc] Problem. Problem. Engine.
- [Padros] Stop the car. Stop the car.
- [Leclerc groans]
[commentator 3] Bitter disappointment.
The man who's leading the race.
It's all over for Ferrari.
Max Verstappen wins
the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Another perfect day for Red Bull.
And Leclerc's season is unraveling.
[Horner] Ferrari obviously are having
a a tough time at the moment,
but I'm grateful
that they've had the issues
because we've had to capitalize
on their misfortune,
and we have to keep
putting that pressure on them.
[commentator 2] We're under
virtual safety car conditions here,
and a smart decision
by Red Bull to change tires.
[wheel gun whirring]
Sainz and Leclerc stay out, though.
They've given up the chance
of a cheap pit stop.
This is exactly the same mistake
that they made in Miami.
[Adami] You can push.
[Sainz] I am pushing already.
[Leclerc] I don't have the grip. So bad.
[commentator 1]
Max Verstappen comes home in first place.
Frustration for Ferrari once more.
Red Bull on top.
[commentator 5] And that will be
the weight of Ferrari
on top of Mattia Binotto's shoulders.
[producer]
What's the mood in Ferrari in general?
[in Italian]
There is a difficult atmosphere,
an atmosphere that's also heavy,
an atmosphere of worry.
There is too much criticism of the team
and of the pit wall,
and demands for everything to be changed,
and the team really feels this criticism.
[birds tweeting]
[Oñoro whistles through teeth]
[in Spanish] Who's playing, then?
- Lando and Charles?
- [indistinct]
- Isn't Lando playing golf today?
- No.
[Sainz in English]
Lando and me, Charles, Caco?
- [Norris] Another go?
- [Leclerc] Alright, let's go.
Let's go, man. Come on.
- Calm down.
- [Leclerc] Lando Norris.
[Oñoro] I'm not losing this shit.
Nice, Charles.
[Leclerc]
It was a really good start to the year,
but it's been a frustrating season.
We need to get better,
especially with the strategy.
I've been, uh,
trying to control my emotions, um,
but, uh, I am not really happy with it.
[dramatic music playing]
There's not more
than two or three races without a setback.
It's It's shit. I mean, it's horrible.
The only Red Bull driver here.
Look at him.
This probably has been one
of the most difficult seasons for Ferrari,
but, uh, my personal feeling
is that if somebody
can turn around things quickly,
it's Carlos.
It's his time.
[Oñoro] That's it, no?
[Norris] Stay, Carlos.
[Leclerc] Come on. I play with Lando.
[Sainz] I've done 149 races.
It's time to get my first win.
A Formula 1 driver is always selfish.
He's always thinking
about his own interests.
We will win with Carlos.
If he comes back.
- He was very angry.
- Huh?
[Oñoro] He's a fucking bad loser.
[Sainz] I can take the right decision,
and trust myself.
I'm Spanish.
I'm gonna go full Latino mode.
[intense stinger]
[thunder rumbling]
[commentator 1] The rain has arrived
here at Silverstone
just in time for qualifying.
[dramatic music playing]
[Sainz] What's the forecast?
[Adami] More rain, as you can see.
[Verstappen] Getting heavier and heavier.
[Norris] It's getting too hard.
[commentator 6] My goodness, Sainz.
[Sainz] I have no grip.
[commentator 2] Here comes Verstappen.
Charles Leclerc will be desperate
not to let Verstappen
get the upper hand today.
[Lambiase] Just keep pushing.
Okay, so that's put you P1 for the moment.
[commentator 1]
Here's Charles Leclerc, then.
[Leclerc] Fuck!
[commentator 1]
That is gonna cost Charles Leclerc.
[Leclerc] That's it, no?
[Padros] Yeah, that's it.
[Sainz] I will push this lap now.
[commentator 2]
A vital lap now for Carlos Sainz.
His last chance to take pole position.
[Adami] Keep pushing.
P1, baby. Good job.
[Sainz chuckles]
Oh shit. I didn't expect that one!
[Adami] That was great.
[Sainz] It must have been.
[commentator 1] For the first time
in Formula 1, Carlos Sainz is on pole!
[Leclerc] Where was I?
[Padros] So P3.
[Leclerc] Fuck this.
[commentator 1]
And a round of applause for Carlos Sainz.
[crowd cheering]
To do his first pole
in Silverstone in the wet?
[bell ringing]
[Binotto in Italian] Just a couple
of words from me about today.
Carlos, what's left is the hardest part.
It's an important moment in his career
because he makes it to pole position.
It's going to be a very tight race.
What will count
is making or avoiding mistakes.
But in reality, our objective
is to win the World Championship.
We will have to bite. We said it already.
I am counting on you.
[dramatic stinger]
[dramatic orchestral music playing]
[commentator 1 in English] This is what
we've all come to Silverstone for.
The 73rd World Championship
British Grand Prix.
Hiya! [chuckles]
How we doing?
[crowd chanting] Lewis! Lewis! Lewis!
I can't do that.
- Good?
- Yeah.
Okay, you've got it.
You're good, right? Congrats.
Thank you.
- Go on, Harry!
- Ready?
Go, go, go!
[Leclerc] Silverstone is a track I love.
Obviously, it's important
for us to stay in the fight.
I am fighting Max in in the Championship,
and a mistake at this point
would be very costly.
First time I'm starting on pole position.
[Adami] Ten seconds.
And I'm thinking
we have a very good chance of winning.
[beeping]
- [intense stinger]
- [engines roaring]
[commentator 2] Verstappen gets away well.
And Verstappen's through
into the lead of the race into Abbey,
ahead of Sainz.
[clattering]
[fades to silence]
- [brakes screeching]
- [metal crunching]
[fence rattles]
Oh!
- [Russell] Fuck.
- [Musconi] You okay?
[Russell] Yeah, I'm okay.
[Hamelin] Red flag. Red flag.
[Verstappen] Is everyone okay?
[man] That was really ugly, huh?
That was ugly, but he's fine.
[commentator 1]
Zhou Guanyu, we're told, is okay.
[Sainz] Does this mean we start again?
[Adami] We are asking.
[team member] What's the start now?
- We go back to where we were.
- So it's just a restart completely.
[commentator 3] Carlos Sainz is gonna get
a second crack at this one.
The red flag in lap one
means a straight restart
from the same positions,
but the teams do have a little time
to rethink their starting strategy.
[Horner] Maybe Sainz will go soft,
to cover.
They might.
They might sacrifice Carlos.
[Horner] It's all about Leclerc.
[commentator 7] Kinda surprised that
we're seeing all the drivers chillin' out.
[commentator 3] You have to build
that energy back up again
and get your mind back into focus.
[Sainz] First time I'm starting
on pole position.
And my P1 lasts basically 100 meters.
How long until we go again?
[Adami] We don't know yet.
We are checking.
At least 14, 15 minutes.
I always prefer to be inside the car
than outside the car
because inside my seat, I'm comfortable.
There's no noise.
I can stay focused.
I just need everything to click.
[dramatic music playing]
[commentator 1] Carlos Sainz pulls up
into pole position once more.
I think he got into his car
about 18 minutes
before Max Verstappen did. [chuckles]
[Sainz] Life has given me a second chance.
I need to make sure
that Max doesn't pass me again.
- [Adami] Radio check. Can you hear me?
- [Carlos] Yep, all good.
[Adami] Focus on the lights.
[Sainz] I'll try my best.
[beeping]
- [dramatic stinger]

[commentator 1]
Sainz comes over to cover off Verstappen.
Bravo, Carlos!
[Verstappen]
I got pushed into the pit wall.
[commentator 2]
Sainz so brave into turn one.
[cars crunching]
[commentator 1] Charles Leclerc
and Sergio Pérez make contact!
[commentator 2] Lap ten of 52,
and the battle for the lead
sees the top three
covered by only two and a half seconds.
[Adami]
Verstappen one second behind, one second.
[Lambiase] You have DRS. 0.9.
[Adami] Verstappen 0.8 behind.
[car crunching]
Oh no!
[commentator 1] Verstappen sees the error
by Carlos Sainz and swoops into the lead.
[Sainz] I had understeer.
I had to push too much.
[Leclerc] If, uh, Carlos is struggling,
let's not waste time.
[Verstappen]
I think I have a puncture or something.
[commentator 1] Verstappen's in trouble.
He's got a problem with the car.
[Lambiase] We don't see a puncture.
[Verstappen]
There's something. Fucking check!
[Adami] Puncture, Verstappen.
Puncture, Verstappen.
[commentator 1]
Carlos Sainz is now gonna retake the lead.
- And the crowd absolutely loving that!
- [crowd cheering]
[Verstappen] I need to box.
[Lambiase] Understood.
[commentator 1]
Cheers for the two Ferraris
who are now running one and two.
[Adami] And Charles' lap time 32.0,
and he's going faster now.
[Leclerc] If Carlos can push a bit more
so we have a bit more margin.
[Adami]
You need to push. You need to push.
[Sainz] I will push and see.
[Leclerc] Are we fighting or not?
[Padros] Free to fight.
[Adami] You need to push more. Push more.
[Leclerc] When I'm getting close,
I'm feeling the tires.
[Adami] You need to push more.
[Sainz] Struggling with understeer.
[Leclerc] Do something, please!
I can go faster, guys.
[Adami] Target lap time 32.2,
otherwise we are swapping the cars.
[Sainz] Okay, one more lap.
[Leclerc] Oh my God.
We are losing time.
I mean, I'm fucking up my race now.
[Padros] Copy.
[Adami] This is not good enough.
We are swapping the cars.
[commentator 1] So the instructions
came from the Ferrari pit wall.
Carlos Sainz letting Charles Leclerc pass.
Max Verstappen, who at one stage
was leading this race,
has lost pace and is down in eighth place.
[commentator 3] Only 13 laps remaining,
Ferrari are perfectly placed
in first and second.
[Adami] Ocon is slow before turn nine
where you are.
[Ocon] I have a problem, guys.
I can't exit the corners!
[Adami] Ocon stopped before turn nine.
[commentator 1]
We could get a safety car here.
[Adami] Safety car.
[Leclerc] Stay out. Stay out.
[Adami] Box, Carlos.
Hamilton is coming in behind.
[commentator 3] Ferrari choosing to leave
race leader Leclerc out on old tires,
hoping they last the distance.
They've brought Sainz in
from second for some fresh tires.
[Leclerc] Mattia is the boss.
It's Mattia who is taking the decisions
about the team orders.
He chooses what's right for the team,
and we just have to deal with it.
[producer] There's no exceptions
when you could ignore it and do what you
There's
There's no exceptions to avoid it, no.
[Padros] So Sainz and Hamilton behind
with new softs.
[Leclerc] Wait, can we box,
or is it too late now?
[Padros] It's too late now.
[Leclerc] Gonna be hard.
[commentator 4] Sainz will just cruise
right up to the back of Leclerc.
That's hung Leclerc out to dry.
[Padros] So the track is clear now.
We believe it will be next lap.
[Sainz] Guys, I'm gonna be
a lot quicker than Charles.
[Adami] The instruction is
to give ten car lengths to Charles
as some breathing space.
[music builds to climax]
[music continues]
[Sainz] I consider myself
relatively coolheaded.
When they told me this, I go through
a five-second period of thinking.
By keeping ten car lengths to Charles,
my first chance at winning a race
is slipping away.
Not only my win, but Ferrari's win.
[Padros] Sainz is being told that priority
is to defend from Hamilton.
[Sainz] I think the priority is
to stay true to my beliefs.
Guys, I am under pressure from Hamilton.
Please don't ask these things.
Please. Please.
The best thing I can do is
be on the attack instead of defending.
Stop inventing. Stop inventing.
I'm under pressure, guys.
Trust me, there's more to lose like that.
[commentator 2]
Racing back underway at Silverstone.
Leclerc leads Sainz
with Hamilton in third.
[Leclerc] Fucking hell.
[commentator 1]
Carlos Sainz retakes the lead.
He wants to win a race for the first time.
This is where Charles Leclerc
could be quite vulnerable,
not just to Pérez, but to Hamilton too.
[Bird] DRS enabled.
Let's get Leclerc.
[commentator 1]
Pérez is catching Leclerc.
He takes it towards the inside.
Pérez on the inside!
Charles Leclerc,
gives him just enough space.
Can Pérez squeeze past?
They're going wheel to wheel!
Who's gonna be last on the brakes?
Pérez goes off the track,
cuts the chicane.
Through goes Hamilton!
Unbelievable stuff!
[crowd cheering]
[Sainz] How long left?
[Adami] Three laps to go.
Bring it home.
Nobody is going faster.
[Sainz] Copy.
[tense music playing]
Vamos! Come on! Toma!
[commentator 1] For the first time
in Formula 1, Carlos Sainz is victorious.
[Sainz] We did it. Yes!
Vamos!
It's very difficult to explain it
or to put it into words.
The last Spanish driver to win a race
was Fernando,
and he was my idol when I was ten.
Just done that for Ferrari in Silverstone.
You cannot imagine how it feels.
[commentator 3] It's a win for Ferrari,
but another dent
in Charles Leclerc's hopes
for the Championship.
[Leclerc] Oh my God.
Frickin' hell.
Guys
Anyway, enjoy the victory.
[Oñoro] Vamos! Vamos!
- Toma! Toma!
- [team member chuckles]
Bien! Bien! Bien! Bien! Bien! Bien! Bien!
[team member cheers]
[indistinct chatter]
[indistinct radio chatter]
[indistinct radio chatter]
[indistinct chatter in Italian]
[in English] Well done.
- Woo!
- [cheering]
[Sainz] All the years
you've been in Formula 1,
all the years that you've been trying
to get to Formula 1.
[emotional music playing]
Just that sense of accomplishment
that is impossible to describe.
[crowd cheering]
[triumphant music playing]
I fucking won a race.
[music turns somber]
- Well done, Carlos.
- Fuck you.
- I'm so happy for you.
- [woman] Well done, Carlos.
[man] I'm so happy for you.
- You deserve it, mate.
- Thank you, man.
- Nice to see.
- Appreciate it.
[Binotto in Italian] I know that
at the end of the race, Charles was very
frustrated, very unhappy
because he felt
that he had a very good race
and that finally
he would bring home a result.
It wasn't the first time,
and again it was a disappointment.
And I have to say,
we made the decision to keep Charles out
to maintain the position.
We were convinced
that even with the hard tires,
he could maintain his position
in the race and try to win.
It didn't go like that. It went badly.
[in French]
It's been two times, with Monaco.
I don't agree.
Two times what?
We made the right decision.
We don't know how it would have turned out
if things happened differently.
What tells you
he would have won if he had stopped?
[Horner in English]
They fucked up Leclerc's strategy.
- They should have boxed both.
- [Domenicali] Yeah.
Because even if Hamilton stayed out,
he's on old scrubbed tires.
Boom.
[Domenicali] But then,
letting the drivers fight like that?
[triumphant music playing]
Well done, mate.
[Horner] Ferrari are faced,
for the first time,
with which basket
do they put their eggs in?
Charles is their biggest chance
of taking the fight to Max,
but they have to, as a team,
take that strategic decision.
[team cheering]
What a day for Ferrari,
but they won with the wrong car.
[in Italian] At Ferrari,
there is no number one
because both of our drivers
have an ambition to win a championship.
There is no need to designate a number one
because if there is a driver
that is the best, it is automatic.
We are aware that we are making mistakes,
but I think that our duty remains
on getting better
to then maximize the potential
in the second half of the season.
[music building to climax]
[team cheering]
[Schumacher] As a driver,
you always wanna go to the edge.
[snapping]
[Buxton] Every race that passes,
the doubts persist.
[Steiner] If Mick wants to stay,
he has to perform, like everybody else.
[Schumacher]
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
I will prove everybody wrong.
[dramatic music playing]
[Buxton] Is this where the balance
of power in the title race shifts?
It's very simple.
If you are not performing, you are out.
[Horner] This is gonna be a tough one.
[Sainz] You cannot afford any mistakes.
[Pérez] It's now or never.
[music builds]
[crashes]
[energetic outro music playing]
