07x03 - Looking Out for Number 1

[bunniefuu]

[dramatic music plays]

There just never feels like a time where
I'm not gonna be a Mercedes driver. Um…

Yeah, 'cause it's just…
It's, like, it's my home. It's my family.

[reporter] Have Ferrari been in touch?

No.

[reporter] Huge breaking news
from the world of Formula 1.

Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari
for the 2025 season.

I've had the longest, um,
team-driver relationship with Lewis

that, to my knowledge, existed.

Lewis, this is Toto.

You never stop to amaze us.
Congratulations.

The success we achieved together
was probably

the biggest the sport's ever seen.

[commentator 1] Lewis Hamilton,
champion of the world!

[Wolff] Winning eight consecutive
Constructor Championships.

Very fond memories.

And then after 12 years
being part of the team,

Lewis tells me, "I'm going to Ferrari,"
which is like, "Really?!"

[dramatic music continues]

Toto obviously didn't see it coming.
Lewis, that's his biggest asset.

[Buxton] Toto's got an unbelievably
difficult decision ahead of him.

He needs a new lead driver.

How do you replace shoes
like Lewis Hamilton?

That's nigh on impossible.

[Buxton] Toto absolutely
has to get this right.

The fate of Mercedes depends on it.

[thunder rumbles]

[wheel g*n whirring]

[engine revs]

[tense music plays]

[music fades]

[dramatic orchestral music plays]

[music fades]

-[Susie] Hi.
-[Wolff] Hey.

I just got back from school.

I was up at five o'clock this morning.

I heard you, yeah.
But there's a lot going on, no?

[Wolff] Well, you can say that.

Lewis is leaving next year.

Yeah.

Why would he do that?

The timing is weird.

It's the end of an era.
And that also brings

a big opportunity.

Yeah.

[Buxton] Toto needs a new talisman.

Someone who can win him
and the team world championships.

Do you pick someone
with experience from outside the team

who can be that leader?

Or does he promote from within?

Does he look across
to the other side of the garage

and give that opportunity
to George Russell?

[Susie] Do you think George has it in him
to lead the team?

He has the pace.

He's always been a little bit
in Lewis's shadow

because of Lewis's global,

let's say, stardom.

-Everybody's in Lewis's shadow.
-Yeah.

You would have some other options.
What's Carlos Sainz gonna do now?

Yeah, so Carlos,

um, somebody to look at.

He had some
really, really good performances.

Fernando.

No, I think…

I mean, race pace, race craft is

still very good.

You're not gonna start a new era
with a… a long contract with Fernando.

-No.
-It's an interim.

[Wolff] I think he's 45.

-No, I don't think he's that old.
-Yeah, yeah.

[Susie] You don't think Max is an option?

I think he is.

[suspenseful music plays]

But if you win all the races in a season,
I think he's…

There's not much reason to leave.

I haven't talked to him.
I promised Lewis not to talk to him.

But I will have the conversation now.

[music fades]

[Susie] You managed to demolish that.

I can't eat more
because I'm gonna vomit in the gym.

[laughs]

[commentator 1] Welcome along
to a new season dawning.

[Adami] Carlos, 20 seconds.

[commentator 2] There's so much
speculation over who'll be in the seat

alongside Russell next year.

[commentator 3] And we're underway.

[Lambiase] No immediate threats
at the moment, Max.

Gap behind, 16.1.

Just keep going. This is excellent.

[exciting music plays]

[Verstappen] Great start
to the year, guys.

Absolutely fantastic.

Poof.

Max was in a different galaxy.

[commentator 3] Is Max Verstappen in
the running for Hamilton's Mercedes seat?

I think it would be disingenuous to say
I wouldn't want to work with Max.

He's currently the best driver,

and clearly, Christian's situation,
it's taking a toll.

[tense music plays]

[Buxton] Even though Christian Horner
has been cleared

of allegations of inappropriate behavior,

Red Bull remain in turmoil.

There is a line of thinking

that this could lead to Max Verstappen

wanting to find a pathway out of the team.

[Wolff] Max knows, uh, wrong or right,
and he knows what he wants.

So the situation could potentially change.

[music stops]

[reporter 1] If it is what we think it is,

Max is trying to get out of his contract
to join Mercedes.

That's what we think, so…

[reporter 2] Oh, you think?

Absolutely. expl*sive.

Any circumstances that you would,
uh, drive for Mercedes on 2025?

Well, you know, the thing is
no one would have ever realized

or seen that Lewis would move to Ferrari.

So you can never say 100%.

[Wolff] Max's father, Jos, and I

have been speaking regularly
about, uh, what was happening

and, uh, how we were to go about it

when it comes to… to Max and Mercedes.

[Buxton] For Mercedes
to even get into a room with Max

to discuss his future,

God, two months ago,

didn't seem even vaguely possible.

[man] So everything okay
within your company?

Yeah, it's good. Yeah, yeah.

[man] So then Max will stay?

Look, a contract is a contract.

Somebody either wants to be in a team,
or they don't want to be in a team.

If they don't want to be in the team, it's
just the terms of which that they can go.

[tense music plays]

[Horner] Toto is trying very hard.

He keeps throwing in petrol.

So Toto…

Look, I… I can't talk for him, but

he's sending love letters
to other drivers.

Why isn't he giving George the love?

[thunder rumbles]

[orchestral music plays]

-[Russell] Morning, guys.
-[crowd cheering]

[Russell] Morning.

This is
beautiful British summer, isn't it?

-[Mundt] Not quite Monaco.
-[Russell] Wonderful.

Welcome to England.

All right.

[music stops]

[groans]

We're back.

[orchestral music resumes]

-How many cameras have you got?
-[producer] Five.

Really?

I'm George Russell,

and I race
for Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team.

[Wolff] I've known George
since he was a 16-year-old boy

with all his, uh, flaws
and all of… all of his talents.

The first time I met him, he had
that PowerPoint presentation in my office,

telling me why he should
be a Mercedes driver.

[Russell] It's always amazing coming here
'cause I raced here as a kid.

Like, Lewis was racing back then.

I was looking up to him
and chasing him for autographs.

I mean, with Lewis leaving,

I think my initial reaction was,
like, "Blimey."

I felt like this is now
my opportunity to step up

and, you know,
try and lead this team forward,

rather than being the young kid
who came through as a junior.

So, how do you feel?

Yeah, feeling good. Feeling confident.
And I'm quite excited.

When George arrived at Mercedes,
he really arrived with that need

to prove he was the future of the team.

But is it too harsh to say that…
that George still makes too many mistakes?

[dramatic music plays]

[commentator 3] George Russell
hits the wall. Look at that debris.

[Buxton] There are different philosophies
on why George has made so many errors

at critical moments in races.

[commentator 3] George Russell
trying to fight his way past.

[groans]

[commentator 3] Russell mistake.

[Buxton] Some, it's just bad luck.

Some, that he doesn't have
what it takes at the top level.

[commentator 3]
Norris on the outside line.

Russell has to bail out.

And that's Verstappen through as well.

f*ck.

[Russell] Really struggling.

Shall we say that the jury's still out?

-[Russell] How you doing, guys?
-[crowd clamoring]

[Russell] Thank you.

[Buxton] Silverstone, his home race,

it's the perfect place
for George to really lay down a marker

to keep Verstappen at bay.

What was that pass? That was terrible.

Sorry, guys.

Not elegant.

[suspenseful music plays]

[commentator 3] There's still uncertainty
about that seat at Mercedes.

[commentator 2] How long
before Toto announces his decision?

[man] I think, today,
probably we'll get asked about drivers,

you know, for next year.

[Wolff] Yeah.

We're a minute late.

[suspenseful music continues]

[reporter] Toto, you've yet to tell us

who George Russell's teammate
is going to be next year.

I think it's much too early for us
to… to commit to a driver.

[reporter] But have you whittled it down?

[Wolff] Yes.

-[reporter] Can you give us a--
-No.

[light laughter]

[Wolff] You need to look at the drivers
that are on the market.

[fan 1] Thank you so much.

[Wolff] And it's not only Max.

You know, there's other good ones
that we could deem as a good opportunity.

-[fan 2] Have a great race, Carlos.
-[Sainz] Thank you, guys.

[fan 3] George, my man.

How we doing?

[Wolff] You need to see
the driver performances in other teams.

[tense music plays]

[crowd cheering]

[commentator 3] This is qualifying
to set the grid positions.

[music fades]

[commentator 2] Here we go then.
Saturday at Silverstone.

Time to bring the action.

[exciting music plays]

[Adami] Push, push.

[exciting music continues]

[Adami] And keep pushing. Keep pushing.

Currently P1. Good job.

[commentator 1] Carlos Sainz,
quicker than anyone we've seen so far.

[Lambiase] Okay, Max.

Not a bad first lap.

[Verstappen] Let's try for the next one.

[exciting music continues]

[Lambiase] Keep up the pace.

[commentator 1] Here comes Verstappen
round the final corner.

[Horner] Well done, Max.
P4 is very, very decent.

[Verstappen] Great effort.

[Lambiase] Hamilton coming through.

[Bonno] Lewis, you are currently P2.

[Hamilton] How far off?

[Bonno] Very close. It'll be
a little tight if people keep pushing.

[exciting music continues]

[music stops]

-[Bonno] You are P1.
-[Hamilton] Thanks.

[Dudley] Okay, George, so P2.
Forty milliseconds to Lewis.

[exciting music plays]

-[Dudley] Keep pushing.
-[Russell] Yeah, copy.

[exciting music continues]

[Dudley] Pole position, mate. Nice job.

-[triumphant music plays]
-Yes!

[Russell] Woo-hoo-hoo! Yeah, baby!

[man] Good job, mate.

[Dudley] One-two.

[Russell] Is it a one-two?

Yes!

Come on!

[Dudley] Yourself, Lewis,

and then Norris P3,
and then Verstappen P4.

[Wolff] George, a front row lockout
hasn't been done for a long time.

Congratulations for pole.

[triumphant music plays]

So far, so good.

It's getting better.

[triumphant music continues]

I mean, getting pole
in Silverstone is huge.

[crowd cheering]

And seeing the crowd erupt,

that just gives me goosebumps.

[dramatic orchestral music plays]

[commentator 2] Lovely to be here
at Silverstone in preparation

for what could be
an absolutely amazing race.

[dramatic orchestral music continues]

Ow! I was like,

"Surely, it's not a professional!"

-Oosh.
-You good, man?

-Aw, good one, eh?
-Thank you.

Good, mate. Thank you.

[helicopter blades whir]

[tense music plays]

[Wolff] Silverstone
is such a great circuit

where you have to put
your ba*ls on the dashboard.

[commentator 3] It's a front row lockout
for Mercedes.

George Russell on pole.

[tense music continues]

Survive that first lap, hopefully,
and then go from there.

[Buxton] If he wants Toto's attention,

now is the moment
where George needs to shine.

[tense music builds]

[Wolff] I'm looking at the drivers to see
who is really fierce…

the most competitive,

giving the best possible performance.

[tense music continues]

[music builds]

[commentator 1] And it's lights out,
and away we go!

[Dudley] Looking good, George.

[exciting music plays]

[Lambiase] Max, now.

[commentator 1] Verstappen
gets into third!

[Lambiase] Gap to Russell, 1.5.

[crowd cheering]

[music becomes tense]

[Dudley] This pace is really good, George.
Just keep building this gap.

[Russell] Copy.

[music stops]

[Dudley] George, expecting first shower
in five minutes.

[Russell] The rain in the distance
looks very heavy.

[Wolff] Races can be very unpredictable.

[dramatic music plays]

The great drivers are the ones
that capitalize on a good car

in various conditions.

In the dry, in the wet,

with the combination
of raw talent and intelligence.

-[Adami] The rain is approaching.
-[Sainz] I'm happy.

[Adami] Okay, good.

[Wolff] That, for me,
encompasses a great driver.

-[Dudley] Rain starting to pick up now.
-[Russell] It's very dark.

[rain patters]

[thunder rumbles]

[Russell] It's gonna be difficult
just keeping it on the track.

[Dudley] Understood.

[Wolff] These can be
the very tough moments

when there is literally zero visibility.

[Adami] Carlos, you are doing a good job.
Keep it there.

Let's go, let's go.

[Wolff] You need to have the courage
to keep your foot on the throttle.

-[Lambiase] Max?
-Yeah?

[Lambiase] You're faster
than the cars ahead. Keep going.

[Wolff] It's about being in the fight.
It's about getting tough.

[Bonno] Lewis, we think
it's time to jump to inters.

Let us know what you think.

-[Hamilton] No. Leave me to it, mate.
-[Bonno] Okay, copy.

[commentator 1] Hamilton has reduced
the advantage by a second on this lap.

[Russell] It's coming down
slightly harder now.

It's very tricky now.

[Bonno] You can afford to push a bit more.

[tense music plays]

Okay, Lewis, this is our time.

You're currently P1.

[tense music plays]

[Joseph] Lando, push hard to Russell.

-[Dudley] So, George, that's P3.
-[Russell] Yeah, dropping a lot.

[tense music continues]

-[Stallard] Oscar, use overtake.
-[Piastri] Copy.

-[Russell] That was just too quick.
-[Dudley] P4.

[commentator 1] What has happened
to George Russell?

[Russell] Just getting very tricky.

How many laps
do you think we'll be on this tire?

[Dudley] We've got high temps currently.
Okay, so we need to box, box.

Retire the car, George.

[Russell] f*ck's sake.

[Adami] Russell is retiring.

Yeah, that's good for us.

[somber music plays]

[Bonno] Just info, George retired
with a suspected water system issue.

Even before the DNF,

I'm not convinced
that it was gonna be George's day.

A few too many mistakes

left the door open for other drivers.

It was probably his race to lose.

And he did.

[woman] George cracked under pressure.

[Horner] Yeah, again.

[commentator 1] Lewis Hamilton
wins the British Grand Prix!

[Bonno] Get in there, Lewis!
You're the man!

[Hamilton] It means a lot to get this one.

Love you guys.

What a sign-off for our joint trajectory
here on the British Grand Prix.

We couldn't wish for anything better.

[commentator 3] Max Verstappen,
second behind Hamilton.

[Horner] Well done, Max.

[Verstappen] We can be
very pleased with that. Great job.

[Adami] Solid race.

[Sainz] Yeah, very solid race.
Very good job.

[reporter] You probably thought
you'd win it with George Russell,

maybe not Lewis Hamilton.

What happened there?

I'm sorry for… for George, that he DNF'd.

The two of them
should've been on the podium.

[cheering]

[Buxton] To replace Lewis,

Toto needs somebody
who will call the shots,

both in the car and out of the car.

[tense music plays]

[Williams] George is still having
these wobbles on the racetrack.

When the pressure is really on,

he's really got to stamp those wobbles out

if he is going to step up
into that team leader role.

[tense music continues]

And Toto is going to want
his next number one driver

to just get the job done.

[music stops]

[Wolff] Yeah, it was
a very strong race from him.

Max has all the ingredients
to drive with us.

He's had so much success with Red Bull,

but now it's about time
to look at Mercedes.

But it's Max's decision.

He needs to come to a point
where he says, "This is what I wanna do."

[reporter] Question for Max.

You will stay in Red Bull 100%?

We're focusing already on next year
with things we can implement on the car.

So I guess that should say enough
of where I'm driving next year.

Simple yes or no.

Will you be driving
for Red Bull next year, please?

Okay, yes.

Toto, if he does want
a Verstappen for next year,

then… then I guess
Jos is potentially available.

[laughter]

Um…

It's so difficult with Max.

There is a 1% chance
that Max changes his mind.

-[man 1] Yeah.
-[man 2] What are we gonna do?

-Let's go through the options.
-Yeah. Carlos.

-[man 2] Carlos.
-He's a great guy.

Uh, I mean, how he's finished
the last season was strong.

-We agree we don't wanna rush.
-Yeah.

The question is, can he afford to wait?

Okay, so who else?

[man 1] What about George?

He needs to deliver. That's
the only criteria that is important.

[man] Time for you to dive, guys.

-[Wolff in French] You all right?
-Feeling good?

-[man in English] Everything's okay?
-[Russell] Yeah, and you?

-You want to know where you go today?
-Yeah. Okay.

-There is nice reef around 30 meters.
-[Wolff] Yeah, okay.

It's okay for you?

There's a competition or training today?

No competition.
I don't want to drown my driver.

[chuckles] We have to keep… Yeah.
We have to keep him safe.

-Keep him safe.
-[man] Yes.

[serious music plays]

All right, let's do it.

[man] You're ready to go.

[Wolff] In Formula 1, such as in life,
you have to take calculated risks.

Calculated risk

is when even the worst outcome
is something that is manageable.

George always had
the raw speed and the talent.

I know where his potential is.

But to be my lead driver,
he needs to continue on that trajectory.

Faultless execution
under pressure matters.

[serious music continues]

My son said
I should never be filmed in that wetsuit.

It isn't showing my best side.

[music fades]

[Russell] In Silverstone,
I was struggling.

It is what it is.

We don't need to talk about the speed.
You always had that.

You just need to win races.

Exploit every opportunity.

Drive it home when we have the car.

Be a leader. Be bold.

This is what you need to be capable of.

I feel ready to, uh, step it up,

to reignite something.

[serious music plays]

You can let failure

dwell on you,

define you…

consume you,

and just bring you down.

Toto's looking for a leader.

And I know exactly what I need to do.

[serious music continues]

I need to have more confidence in myself

to be the driver leading the team,

to show that I am
that driver who's winning.

Ultimately, it's on my shoulders
to make it happen.

[engines rev]

[breathes heavily]

[commentator 3] Good afternoon
and welcome to the Belgian Grand Prix.

Charles Leclerc on pole position.

[commentator 2] The outgoing Mercedes man,
Lewis Hamilton, is in third.

His teammate, George Russell,
further back in sixth.

[exciting music plays]

[commentator 3] Side by side we go
with Lewis Hamilton and Sergio Pérez.

Onto the gravel for Lando Norris. That
gives an opportunity to George Russell.

[Dudley] Well done, mate.

[exciting music continues]

Piastri, next car.

Overtake available.

[Stallard] Russell is about to catch.

[exciting music continues]

[commentator 2] A mistake by Russell.
He's back behind Piastri.

[tense music plays]

[Adami] All looking good.

Keep pushing.

[Sainz] Yeah, yeah.

[Dudley] Sainz behind.

-[Adami] Keep pushing like this.
-[Sainz] Copy.

[tense music continues]

[in Italian] Oh sh*t.

[commentator 3 in English] This has
not worked out at all for Sainz.

George Russell is going on the attack.

[Dudley] Gap ahead is 0.7 to Pérez.

[tense music continues]

[Bird] Russell car behind at 0.6.

[Russell] Tires feel good.

[Dudley] Copy that.

[tense music continues]

[Dudley] Really good job. Well done.

Piastri, next car.

[commentator 3] So Hamilton leads.
Then we have Charles Leclerc.

Next up, Oscar Piastri.

[Hamilton]
Tires are starting to grain a little bit.

[Bonno] Copy and box, box. Box, box.

[commentator 2] Hamilton pits
from the race lead.

And Charles Leclerc in as well.

[tense music continues]

[commentator 3]
And we have a new leader, George Russell.

[Dudley] And box. Box.

[Russell] Are you sure
these tires won't go till the end?

[Dudley] They will,
but we think it's quicker to stop.

[Russell] They're just going
quicker and quicker, the tires.

[tense music continues]

[Russell] This is a new opportunity.

My chance to take the horse by the reins,

to step up now
and be the leader of this team.

[Dudley] George, just confirm
you're happy to stay out.

[Russell] Yes.

[Dudley] Understood.

[commentator 2] Oh, an incredible
roll of the dice from George Russell.

He's trying to nurse that hard tire
all the way to the end.

[Dudley] You got Lewis car behind.

Fourteen laps remaining.

So we need to give it
everything we've got.

[Russell] Okay.

[tense music plays]

[Bonno] And that is George ahead.

-How far ahead is he?
-[Bonno] Six seconds.

[commentator 3] It's a long, long way
to the end.

I don't know if this is gonna pay off
for George Russell.

[tense music continues]

[Russell] It's exhilarating

knowing that you're
putting it all on the line,

and the consequences
could be massive if you get it wrong.

[tense music continues]

But equally, if you get it right,

it's pretty spectacular.

[commentator 3] This is where
he comes under serious pressure.

-Am I on target to beat him or not?
-[Bonno] It's close. It is close.

[Dudley] Final lap.

[tense music continues]

[commentator 3] How late dare Hamilton go?

[tense music continues]

It will be a Grand Prix win

earned by a brilliant drive
from George Russell.

[Russell laughs] Woo-hoo-hoo! [sighs]

Boys and girls, what a performance!

[triumphant music plays]

That was all right.

[cheering]

[triumphant music continues]

[crowd cheering]

You good?

Woo!

See ya.

[music fades]

Bloody hell.

-Amazing.
-Yeah.

Fantastic.

I think that was
one of my best races ever.

[Buxton] For George to swing back
at this Grand Prix

is very much a, "Well, I'm the future."

"I'm taking control of this team,
and I'm gonna move it forward,"

which he did by determining
his own strategy.

[Russell] I was screaming, "One stop!
Tires are good. Tires are good. Let's go."

Not being passed the baton,

but grabbing it off Lewis
and being like, "Right."

"Now it's my turn. My team."

[Wolff] George won that race
beyond the expectations of the team.

He's capable of taking wise decisions
and carry them to the end,

so it shows
that he's on the right trajectory.

-Hello.
-[Wolff] Let's chat.

[Russell] Let's chat.

[Wolff] It's all the work that's coming
together, making him a winning driver.

I just wanted to use the opportunity
after such strong performance

to tell you
that you have given me the confidence

and all of us at Mercedes for the future.

You couldn't have done more.

-[Russell] Cheers, Toto.
-Cheers. Rock and roll.

Rock and roll.

I have confidence in George
that he has the maturity and the speed

to be the lead driver for next year.

So, who is it
that we're putting next to George?

I need to go beyond the usual suspects…

for the next superstar.

[tense music plays]

[teenager in Italian] Who is it? Oh!

[in English] I love this.
You look great in this.

How was school?

Good.

[tense music plays]

[teenager] Oh.

Famous room.

[laughs]

[producer] I think you're
the youngest person ever in that chair.

Am I?

That's crazy.

[tense music continues]

My name is Kimi Antonelli,

and I'm racing in the F2 Championship.

I'm in the Mercedes-AMG Junior Team.

[tense music continues]

[Wolff] Let's see what you can do.

-[producer] You got your driving license?
-No.

I'm 17 still. I cannot wait for that.

[tires screech]

[Antonelli] High speed.

Here we go.

[dramatic music plays]

[engineer] Now ready
to push more the straights.

[dramatic music continues]

[Marco] Wow, three zero.

Yeah.

[Marco] Three zero is fast.

[engineer in Italian] How is the car?

[Antonelli] In the corners,
I'm almost at the limit.

[in English] What did you raise?

He's amazing.

[cell phone rings]

Mohammed, I'm just getting in the car.
I'll call you later, okay?

FIA president.

I enjoy watching this more.

Kimi Antonelli is a special young kid.

In the car, Kimi's just a monster.

You know, when the visor goes down,
that boy just delivers.

It's very rare to see

kids basically winning
everything they've ever participated in.

And in Formula 1,
these have become the great champions.

The likes of, uh, Verstappen,

Michael Schumacher,

Ayrton Senna.

I think Kimi has the same great potential.

But of course, taking a young driver
that hasn't been in Formula 1

is always risky.

[music fades]

[Antonelli] Ciao, Nonna!

[Wolff] Kimi can be
a great success of the future.

I hope that Kimi's ready.

[producer] Does the teddy bear
have a name?

The teddy bear? Yeah, actually.

Toto Bear. Toto Bear.

He's taking care of the trophies,
so it's good. He's doing a good job.

[tense music plays]

[cell phone beeps]

[Wolff] Hello?

Ciao.

We've organized a WhatsApp call
to break the news…

[tense music continues]

…uh, that you're
a Mercedes Formula 1 driver next year.

Thank… Oh my…

Oh my God. Um…

That's a great news. [laughs]

It feels good, to be honest.

Like, um… a bit weird.

It's something I've been… I've dreamed of
for, uh, since I was a kid.

[Wolff] We have super confidence in you.

We are super happy.
And we will do this together.

[mother in Italian] I didn't
hear anything. Tell me something.

I'm Mercedes.

-[mother] But from when?
-[Antonelli] From next year.

[Antonelli laughs]

We did it.

Mamma mia.

[Wolff in English] I've taken my decision.
George Russell and Kimi Antonelli.

And that feels really good.

[reporter] Done deal.
Kimi Antonelli is confirmed

as Lewis Hamilton's replacement
at the team.

Can an 18-year-old
jump straight out of Formula 2

and compete with a Max Verstappen?

That's the question.

All right.

Are we smiling here or what?

[photographer] Always smiling.
You're happy.

[Russell] So happy.

-[Russell chuckles]
-[photographer] Three, two, one.

-[man 1] Dan, make them laugh.
-[man 2] Where's Lewis?

[laughter]

That was a good one.
You thought about that for a long time.

[Russell] This is my time
to take it to the next level.

Also, help Kimi on his journey,

the same way as I was a young kid
going in against… against Lewis.

What's the story behind this?

Where is Lewis?

-He's not here.
-Ah, okay. Ah, okay.

-[Russell laughs]
-Ah, okay, I… I just got it now.

[Wolff] It's clear that George
will be leading the team,

and, uh, Kimi will be
greatly benefiting from George.

-It's English jokes.
-Yeah. You'll get used to it.

Yeah. You get used.

But on the other side, Kimi has
the speed and is gonna challenge him.

[dramatic music plays]

The potential for next year,
it's very exciting.

[music fades]

[Sainz] Ferrari is not happening
for me next year.

The race is on to see who can sign Sainz.

[Vowles] There is real competition.

[producer] When you want something,
you get it.

-Is that right?
-Yes.

Carlos is at risk
of not winning a race again, ever.

[Norris] We're good friends,
but it doesn't mean anything on the track.

Singapore is one of those tracks
that you know stuff's about to happen.

-We are absolute animals.
-[driver] Do not fake.

I wanna f*cking win.

[pulsing music plays]
