08x03 - The Number 1 Problem

[bunniefuu]

Morning.

All right, here we go.

One, two, three, four

Ooh. Power shot.

Already getting a workout.

Testing one, two. Testing one, two.

Working?

All right, let me have more coffee.

Ooh, good shot.

Oh, that wasn't a good shot.

What makes me tick is a fear of failure.

I really hate to lose.

Love to win,
but I hate to lose, I think, even more.

You gotta be kidding me!

Who's your tennis coach?

Some guy you've maybe,
uh, heard of before.

He's, uh, won 24 Grand Slams,
so a pretty good coach.

You look amazing,
but we gotta work on that.

Yeah, it's the look that counts,
though, isn't it?

- Good to see you, man.
- You good?

Yeah, good, good. Look at you.

I figured if it was like racing,
having the equipment's half the battle.

That forehand is decent.

- Backhand, we gotta work.
- Needs work.

That's better. Great.

Much better.

- Ready for some doubles.
- You're not gonna ball hog, are you?

Here we go.

- I get it.
- I'm glad he's on my team.

- Oh!
- Oh!

Let's go!

Whoo!

Okay. Zak is feeling it right now.

What's the goal for the team this year?

The goal this year is to win
the Constructors' Championship

and finish one-two
in the Drivers' Championship.

And, uh, so far, so good.

With Lando and Oscar, we've got two of
the fastest racing drivers in the world.

P1, great job.

Well done, boys.
Amazing way to start the year.

They're both number one drivers.

Well done, Oscar. Great drive.
And it's a one-two for the team.

Mega job, guys.

What we mean by it is we have two drivers

that are both
fighting for the championship.

Well done.

We wanna be in a position
where we let them fight it out on track

and let them decide
who's gonna come out on top.

Seems like both of the guys
are very mature in their approach.

- Very focused.
- Yeah.

- He's on it. That's great.
- They're strong.

- Awesome.
- All right.

- All right.
- Let's finish this.

Here we go.

Blast them.

Zak has the fastest car
and two brilliant drivers.

On paper, golden.

But it's not that simple.

You get it? I get it? Agh!

Zak's strategy to let them race
is a massive gamble

because only one of them
can be crowned world champion.

Rip it!

Oh!

For the other, it's gonna end in tears.

We're a bit slow.

We're getting overtaken by everyone here.
Oh sh*t. Watch out. Watch out!

Jesus.

Now look at us, hey? Guys...

Back to reality.

- Guys, look at this. f*cking hell.
- Ow!

This was meant to be an off-road car.

His bollocks are gonna bulge out
the front of these shorts in a minute.

- Bump.
- Big bulge.

Oh!

Mate, they've gone in.

Oh, they've slotted in, mate.
They're gone now.

You literally have a camel toe.

That is outrageous, by the way.

Oof.

I just woke up.

Bed hair.1

What've you got there?

Some drugs to put up with you guys.

Oh! That's not very nice.

Have you, um, been surprised
by kind of Oscar's progression this year?

He's made a big step this year, right?

- Um, he has made a big step.
- Yeah.

But I remember my third year in F1.

Like, you just feel a lot more confident.

So he's doing a very good job.

This year's really important

because you have no idea
what next year's gonna be like.

You might not be in contention next year.

That, again, is another layer of pressure.

Yeah, so you've actually got quite...
It's actually quite a serious year.

Last year, I had a chance
to win the World Championship.

What an incredible race.

Lando Norris on fire
with a crushing performance!

Whoo!

And Oscar helped me try to achieve that.

Oscar, swap position turn four.

Copy.

McLaren give the call
to prioritize the highest McLaren driver.

Piastri plays the team game,
and Lando Norris leads.

And I was backed by the team
as the number one driver.

Lando! Lando! Lando!

But obviously this year, I think
the only thing that really has changed

is Oscar's proving himself
to also be a number one driver.

And I've got to prove my worth.

Oscar will also be super hungry
to win this year.

- Yep.
- How's that gonna play out?

Good question.

I have no idea how it's gonna play out.

This is it.
This is how my season's gonna go.

If I hit a good shot,
my season's gonna be great.

- Oh!
- I think you're in the bunker.

sh*t. That means I'm gonna have
a good spell, then it's gonna go wrong.

Hey, it's like a movie

Slightly different
from the ocean beaches in Oz.

- Pretty cool.
- Yeah.

It's been a tidy step from '24.
You've come out of the box pretty well.

Basically, everything's in place, mate,
to make your presence felt.

Here he is.

Hello.

You were a rookie just a few years ago.

Do you feel like you're becoming
a complete driver now?

I feel like I'm in a good place,
and I feel like, you know,

I had to learn a lot
in my first two years of F1.

I'd worked on a lot of the things
I wanted to from last season.

What is different this year is

I'm gonna try and win
the Drivers' World Championship.

I think
that's definitely a realistic target.

Pretty clear.

It's between you and Lando.

Yes. Yes, I think it's gonna be a, uh,

pretty interesting battle
for the rest of the year.

Nothing you can't handle, mate.

Can you beat him?

Yes, I think I can beat him.

Ah, some shade.

- Mm.
- It's hot.

Pretty f*cking hot.

Please give a warm welcome
to Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc!

It's roasting here. It's so hot. You guys...

- These pants...
- You're crazy.

They're so thick, I'm dying.

Welcome to qualifying
at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

The question is, do McLaren
have the huge advantage they seem to?

And if so, which driver will get pole?

Zak, you have two drivers
who can win the title.

How do you manage this?

You just let 'em drive
as fast as they can.

Everyone's waiting for some sort
of expl*si*n between Lando and Oscar.

But we love it.

- Ready?
- Ready.

Feeling good?

- We got pole in us?
- Sure do.

All right.

Go do it.

They know what they're doing. They know
what the rules of engagement are.

We do have some Papaya rules,
which aren't that complicated.

It's don't run each other off the track.

Lando Norris knows
he could be in a battle with his teammate.

There's really not any challenges.
At least not that I've seen yet.

It is time for qualifying,

and we are ready to set the order
for the Grand Prix.

Good job in turn one.

Here comes Piastri,
blasting his way down the main straight.

Excellent. P1. Good job.

- Yeah! Come on! Yeah!
- Come on!

Go on then.

Here comes George Russell.

Track is clear. And good to go.

Okay, nice job.

P2.

Lovely jubbly.

So, Oscar, currently you're P1.
Russell is P2.

It's a bit more pressure on Norris.

Lando, this might need work.

Have a think, please.

- Go on!
- Go on, Lando!

- Time left?
- You guys have got a minute.

Norris's first sector is
not good. He's a quarter of a second down.

Yeah, he's in trouble.

P6.

I didn't have a great qualifying.

I'm not good enough when I need to be.

That is a poor lap from Lando Norris.

- A bit disappointed.
- I know.

That's P1, Oscar. P1.

Good job, mate.

Yeah, baby. Nice work.

Oscar Piastri starts tomorrow's race

with a tremendous advantage
over his teammate.

- It's good.
- It's becoming a habit.

Finally.

He means business now, mate.

George Russell has managed
to put a Mercedes on the front row

when everyone was talking about McLaren.

George, really well done. Well driven.

Thanks, Toto.

Where was Norris?

Norris, P6 in the end.

Ah!

Antonelli, superb from him as well.

That's P4, mate.

Kimi, P4. Not a bad one.

-I'm happy.
- Thank you.

Our driver line-up this year
is very different to McLaren.

We have a clear lead driver in George.

And then you have Kimi as a rookie
who has shown that he has the potential.

Good. Are you getting confidence
and feeling more comfortable in the car?

And generally,
the dynamic in the team is very positive.

I bet you didn't expect
to be on the front row.

No, really surprised.

And to be on the front row is... is mega.
I'm not too sure what happened to Lando.

McLaren has excelled
in the last few seasons.

But for me, two lead drivers,
it's a very risky strategy.

We had it in the past
between Nico and Lewis.

Oh, Nico Rosberg's
lost a bit of front wing.

Puncture! He's got a puncture,
Lewis Hamilton!

Mercedes drivers coming together.

Both of them
wanted to win a world championship.

None of them slotted in for number two.

And this was a little bit like a volcano
that started to erupt.

Round turn three we go!

And it's Nico Rosberg,
and Hamilton's onto the grass!

And Hamilton's had a massive crash!
And he's crashed into his teammate!

The two Mercedes come together.

There was a lot of negativity,
and that would drag the whole room down.

Welcome to Drive to Survive.

Thank you very much.

Nico Rosberg,


Some people find that really difficult.

I saw Lewis Hamilton
struggled most with that

'cause he couldn't figure out
his team's name.

Good, that's the first Lewis dig. Great.

When I was fighting
Lewis Hamilton for the world championship,

that was certainly a tough moment.

Mentally, it can be very, very challenging

because, when one driver has
a success over the other,

it eats you up inside.

- Thank you.
- You question everything.

Your head starts going,

"Is he gonna get
the better engines all the time now?"

Or, "Is he gonna
get preferential treatment?"

And then, of course,
that takes capacity away

and focus away from you,
from driving as well as you normally do.

And it's just
such a tough dynamic internally.

Lando, what happened in the last run?

I've just been off it. Felt like
I've never driven a Formula 1 car before.

Struggling a lot. Don't know why.
Um, I need to try and find some answers.

Do you think that McLaren
will have to prioritize one driver

to ensure they get
the Drivers' Championship over the line?

I guess, if you're behind Oscar,
are you concerned?

Yeah, I just...
I've got a lot of work to do.

So... I don't know.

We're starting to see
some cracks in Lando Norris.

Oscar has raised his level
and really taken it to Lando in a big way.

I think Oscar's looking strong.

I'm not allowed to put money on it,
but if I did, I'd have it on Oscar.

Zak has a very important role

because, when you have
two number one drivers,

it's essential for him to stay neutral.

He can't really celebrate

in a crazy way anymore,

'cause when one driver feels
that he's being unfairly treated

or mistreated
and other driver's given a preference,

that's when things start going
out of control.

- Fair is fair, I get to break your ribs.
- Oh no!

I know.

Nice lap, dude.

Thank you. See you.

And that's a recipe for disaster.

It is time for a fight under the lights.

We are ready to hold a Grand Prix

with huge significance
for the World Championship.

We got a bit of work
ahead of us today with Lando.

I think the big thing with Lando
is keeping his head.

- If Piastri keeps doing this, he's--
- He's doing a good job.

Oscar's a bit of a robot.

Yeah.

My emotion is quite linked
to just my performances.

When I find it very difficult
or almost impossible

to kind of get those feelings back,

it puts me
in just quite a difficult position.

You'd have this won by turn two,
wouldn't you?

Don't rush it. Turn three is fine.

I'm not an overly emotional
person, full stop.

Emotions rarely help you solve problems.

Fifteen seconds.

For Lando and Oscar now,
I hope it continues to get spicy

because then, you know,
we might be able to sneak through.

Great drive from Lando Norris,

who's worked his way up from P6
and is now in a battle for second.

So, Lando, we wanna try
and use some of our pace.

If we can get past Russell,
we need to try.

- I just can't get past.
- Stay with him, mate.

Pace is good.

You're a second a lap quicker
than Russell. Good job, Oscar.

Yeah, I'm just struggling
to get any closer.

- Give it everything.
- I can't!

Oscar Piastri wins the Bahrain Grand Prix!

Well done, mate. Well done.

Man, it's gonna be
one hell of a party tonight.

And it will not be a McLaren one-two.

P2, brilliant driving.

George, really great, great, great, great.

I'm happy, happy, happy.

I think Lando will be feeling the pressure
because Oscar's just, like,

cool, calm, and collected.
He's just not being fazed by anything.

P3. Nice try.

It wasn't, was it?

I want to win Drivers'.

P2 or P3,

it's not good enough.

Obviously, the main thing is
focus on the positives.

I don't think there was
any positives from that race.

Well, you both scored strong points
for the team.

Even if you don't think there are,
I wouldn't say anything.

It only makes you look bad.

Tremendous race by you, Oscar.
Fully in control throughout.

Just how satisfying was this one?

Uh, very. Very, very pleased
with... with how the weekend's gone

and, uh, happy
to come away with, uh... with another win.

Very well done. Thank you, Oscar.

Lando, let's come to you.
It was an eventful evening.

What are the positives that you take
from the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend?

That it's finished, probably.

We'll leave it there.

Fighting against Oscar,
there's definitely more of a mental w*r.

He's in exactly the same car,
same equipment.

And if he beats me, there's no excuse.

It is just mentally straining.

You can be the fastest driver,

but if you're not emotionally ready
or... or mentally ready,

then, um, that can hold you back a lot.

Welcome to qualifying

as we set the grid
for the fifth Grand Prix of the year.

Lando Norris chasing pole position.

Lando, are you okay?

Yeah, all good.

f*cking idiot.

Lando, what are you doing?!

Kind of expected better from him.

He's making headlines
for all the wrong reasons.

Sorry.

sh*t happens.

It all went wrong.

Oscar Piastri crosses the line now

to win the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

and lead the Drivers' Championship.

Wow, wow, wow.

Oscar Piastri, you are cooking, sir.

As the pressure ramps up
in the championship,

Zak has got to back one of them.

And, uh,

if I had to pick one here and now,

I'd have to pick Oscar.

The Miami Grand Prix is underway.

Zak is not stupid.

He's probably seen
from the Lewis and Nico days

of what could go wrong.

Norris goes off the track!

At one point,
you need to pull the trigger.

Disaster for Norris. The world champion

versus the championship leader.

Who'd you put money on?

I would go Oscar.

If I only put one penny,
I'll put one penny on, uh, on Oscar.

Piastri powers by!

- Yes!
- Yeah!

As of now,
Oscar kind of has the upper hand.

Three Grand Prix victories in a row.

Oscar now has a 16-point lead
in the Drivers' Championship.

There are some people
that would absolutely be of the opinion

that the team needs to back one driver.

But it is not an easy decision.

Your suit fits.

- What's up? How are you? Good.
- Good.

It's the whole nine yards. Look at that.

- Is that the Michael Jordan number?
- No, 23's always been my number.

- 23's always been my number.
- So MJ copied you.

Exactly.

Exactly.

- So this is toy one.
- Yep.

My favorite driver,
other than you and Lando.

Ayrton Senna.

- Look at that bad boy.
- Yeah. Yeah.

Zak's invited me to drive

some of his very special cars
from his collection.

Also, very expensive cars,

so I'm gonna try
and not break my boss's cars.

I mean, I'll be honest, I'm super excited.
I'm also sh1tting myself.

- Uh, toy two.
- Mm-hmm.


Car was mega that year.

He and Fernando tied on points.

And they lost by one point.

So let's not make it that close.

I love race cars.

And I've loved race cars
since I was small.

I collect my favorite teams and drivers.

So those are the toys for the day.
You're gonna like it.

For me, it brings back my childhood.

How much have you spent on it?

Spent quite a bit of money on it.

Expensive hobby.

Yeah, you can start getting ready.

I'd be lying
if I said I wasn't a bit nervous.

Let's see who's quickest now.

You guys ready to fire up?

Good to go.

As close as you can to Oscar
for the first half a lap.

Copy. I'm gonna be pissed
if he does a better lap time than me.

I became a McLaren fan in 1988
because I was an Ayrton Senna fan.

And at that point,
I became all in on McLaren.

Really got to know their history.

Cool car to drive.

He's not hanging about.

One of the things
I've always loved about McLaren

is they've always had
two number one drivers.

They wanna race the right way.
They wanna race the fair way.

f*cking hell.

He's not leading
the championship by accident.

When you have two number one drivers,

it's like going
and watching a heavyweight fight.

I mean, there's nothing better than seeing
two of the greatest of the world

slug it out in equal equipment.

Oscar's been
in his comfort zone on this one.

He's been unbelievable.

I'm hungry now.

Yeah, so am I.

- Still or sparkling?
- Still.

Well, you did exactly
what we talked about in the off-season,

which is
you didn't just incrementally improve.

- You went from, like...
- Mm.

...that to world champion stuff.

- Yeah.
- What's the next step?

I don't know.

You're leading the world championship, so...

It... It's going pretty well.

It's starting to become pretty clear

it's gonna be you and your teammate...

- Yep.
- ...going the distance.

- I think so. Yeah, I think--
- You guys talk about it at all?

- Not with each other, no.
- No.

But I... I mean,
I think we both know what's at stake.

More fun that it's your teammate?

- Uh...
- Less fun?

There's more consequence if we...
if it goes wrong for us.

Oscar's been amazing.

And I think
he's definitely world champion material.

Is it the right time to back Oscar?

Ah, that I'm not gonna do.

I'm still convinced that we can have
two drivers going for the championship,

not ending in tears.

- Um...
- I like letting you guys race.

Yeah. I think as long as it's...

- It doesn't start getting ugly, then...
- Yeah.

I mean, that... That's the worst thing
that either of us could do.

Yeah.

Oscar, just three laps to go after this.

Gap to Lando, now 0.6 behind.

And we're free to race.

-Free to race. You know the rules.
- Copy.

If you're leading,
it means you're doing something right.

So it's a nice confidence boost.

Lando, you're the fastest car
on track. Let's use the pace.

Confirm.

I know what I'm capable of doing.

I wanna win badly.

And sometimes too badly.

Okay, George.

Two McLarens contact at turn one.

Norris has stopped on the left-hand side.

Are you all right, dude?

All my fault.

Stupid from me.

Have you heard Lando saying,
"It's all my fault"?

That's been coming for many races.

I'm surprised it's got to Canada
before they've made contact.

Every team has the golden rule.

Don't hit your teammate.

Tactics. Now that's the lesson for them
to learn that we know.

We've been there before.

We would've stopped that.
We would've said no contact.

You can fight. You can race.

But race and fight cleanly.

Lando really has just completely ripped up
that rule book at McLaren

by doing what he's done.

George Russell wins
the Canadian Grand Prix.

Verstappen in second place.

Well done, Max.
Second position, good points.

And Lando, DNF.

Yeah, good points, like you said.

Good job there.

George, well done. One and three.

Feels good to be
at the front again. Well done, team.

And for the first time
on a Grand Prix podium,

Kimi Antonelli,

the third-youngest podium finisher
in Formula 1 history.

- The podium is down that way.
- Oh my God. Thank you, guys.

I feel amazing
after getting the first podium.

It's like a drug. You just want more.

The small Kimi grows to Kimi grande.

Good day. A good day.

Good day, sir.

Congrats, Kimi.

It's great to experience
the podium with Kimi.

Yeah, it shows
what a good job he's done as well.

George, as a teammate,
is a really good thing for me.

I think the team at the moment
is working really well.

And the McLaren crash is
a movie that we've seen, no?

P4.

Yep.

Yep.

I think if they would've stopped fighting,

I think we would've probably lost a place.

These two are racing
for a world championship,

so that was an advantage we had.

That was a big exclamation mark.

Certainly a real positive.

And, um, for McLaren,

how everything has panned out
is exactly as expected.

Crashes happening between teammates,

that's the worst situation within a team.

You gotta not do that.

That's such an expl*sive, negative energy

that could derail a whole team.

Charles!

Can I get a photo?

We love you!

New York, the F1 movie premiere.

They've shut down Times Square for it.

When has Formula 1 ever been this big?

It's incredible.

Not so long ago,

Lewis Hamilton could walk down the street
in New York and not be recognized.

Now, Yuki Tsunoda
is getting stopped on the street.

Love you, Yuki. You're the best!

Nice. Thank you.

I haven't been
to many red carpets, full stop.

It is a world that I'm not used to.

Tens of thousands of fans
shouting your name.

An entirely new experience for me.

A lot of people genuinely said

that you were
the best dressed man on the carpet.

Oh. All right, I do appreciate that.

We've got the matching salmon shirt.

You texted, and I said pink,
and you said pink. I said okay.

- A pleasure. Thank you.
- Real pleasure. All right, talk later.

Who looked best?

I'm definitely not gonna say myself

because that guy is, you know, ridiculous.

Is it gonna be cold?

How do we feel?

Not best pleased.

I messed up, basically.

I was thinking yesterday,
"What's the best way to relax

after a not-so-good weekend?"

I thought, "Media and marketing."

I got told it was mandatory,
but I don't think it is. Is it mandatory?

- The premiere?
- Yeah.

For you, yeah.

Where's Oscar?

No idea.

Yeah.

I don't know where Zak is either.
to be honest.

Did you feel the touch much?

Yeah? It looked like it.
Lucky your tire didn't go down.

- Yeah.
- It was black and white.

And then I know you won't admit it,

but there's no way,

when you drove around the next lap,
you didn't go,

"Oh, ten more points for me."

Once I knew it wasn't my fault
and that he was fine... then yes.

Then you start doing the math.

I spoke with Lando
after the crash. I wasn't happy about it.

He, of course, was, uh, very apologetic
and, you know, disappointed in himself.

We, at the end of the day,
want them to race each other hard,

but, you know, don't run
your teammate off the track.

And I think Lando needs
to kind of hit the reset button.

Lando! Lando!

Do me a favor. Win that world champion.

Yeah, I'll try.

I've lost a lot of confidence in myself

because Oscar's doing
a pretty amazing job.

I hate admitting it,

but he's running away with it.

It creates more questions in your head.

How am I gonna change?

How am I going to attack

all of these things
that I'm struggling with?

- Lando!
- Are we going?

We're just gonna walk you out of here.

- All right.
- Lando!

I need to go out and do a better job

if I want any chance of fighting
for the championship this year.

- Sir, this is for you.
- Oh.

Where is the Statue of Liberty?
Does anyone know?

- Sorry?
- Statue of Liberty.

- There.
- Ah, that one.

- Yeah.
- Oh wow.

It's a crazy city.

It just stinks of weed.

And it looks dirty.

Apart from that, it's a beautiful city.

We love New York.

When is... Is Austria a sprint?
Austria's a sprint?

There's been a few...

Hey, how are you?

What are you even doing here?

Bugger that.

You've got lipstick...

Oh, I've got a little...

- Sorry.
- I got a proper little kiss.

Yeah, sorry.

Yeah, yeah.

It was one of those moves that if he had
gone to the right, you had the momentum.

- Yeah, but he didn't.
- But he didn't. That's the problem.

Nah, it was just stupid from my part.
That's all.

I thought
that took a lot of courage to say.

Yeah, but it was so obvious, you know?

Oh okay, all right!

It wasn't half-half,
and then I took the blame.

You could've done the job f*cking properly
and given him a puncture.

You would've loved that.

- I think you would've as well.
- Well, no comment.

Can we move everybody into these two...

For me, Lando, I think his weakness

is his lack of self-confidence.

Smile.

Yeah, he makes
quite a few mistakes under pressure.

If he can sort that out
and get on top of that,

then he will become complete.

Hello, nice to see you.

Lewis, you're amazing.

Please give a very warm welcome
to Toto Wolff!

Hi, everyone.

George has so many supporters
here in the UK.

Yeah, exactly. Many Brits
supporting George, but who likes Kimi?

They love Kimi.

Yeah, I know. He's a lovely young man.
George is giving him such good guidance.

So in England, when you have a bad day,
you say, "That was pretty wank."

That's pretty wank.

Wank.

Excited?

- I just woke up.
- You just woke up?

No, I didn't.

The Lando stand at Silverstone,

absolute genius.

Yeah. If either of our guys win
this week, it'll be awesome,

but obviously with Lando being British,
I think you're going to have mania

if Lando brings this home.

Lando! Lando! Lando! Lando!

What would it mean to win this one?

This is it.
This is the best one of the year.

It would mean more than every other one.

This year's been... It's been a lot tougher
than what I would've liked,

but, uh, behind the scenes,

I've been trying to make some changes.

Good job, Lando. Keep going, mate.

Keep going, buddy.
This is really good. Come on.

I needed to work with my team,
get my head down.

Let's go, let's go.

Pull, pull, pull, pull,
pull, pull, pull, pull.

Obviously from a mental side,
try to improve that one area

to unlock more potential.

Come on, Lando. Come on.
Adjust to that speed.

Massive effort. Come on. Come on, Lando.

Come on, mate.
Right through to the end now. Come on.

Now it's down to me
to, uh, get over those hurdles.

Well done, Lando. Come on. Brilliant.

Well done, Lando.

I'm fighting for
a world championship, and it's not over.

There's still a chance.

Silverstone only deals in spectacular.

The British Grand Prix is moments away.

On pole position, Max Verstappen.

He's gonna be under pressure
from the two McLarens.

Piastri starts second.

Lando Norris starts third.

George Russell is fourth.

Well, McLaren are in a tricky position.

If they are solely focused on one another,

that leaves a bit of an opportunity.

My first memory
of Formula 1 is Silverstone.

At home, in front of my family,

it just has a lot more meaning for me.

This is my chance to prove
that I can be the best in the world.

Last cars approaching the grid.

Obviously, there's a lot of attention
on Lando. It's his home race after all.

So it's a big moment for him.

But I'm here for business.

And ultimately, only one of us can win.

This is good, Oscar. Pace is good.

Norris dropped a fair way back.

Lando, focus.

Piastri really charging
towards Verstappen.

Piastri is 0.7 behind, Max.

Good pace, Oscar.

Oscar Piastri leads
the British Grand Prix!

Your driving's been really strong.

Come on, Max. Come on.

Rain is coming.

Yeah, confirm.

Yeah, rain has picked up.

Copy. Just be careful.

Yeah, it's too much rain now.

How can you see anything?

No idea.

Visibility is bad, by the way.
I can't even see, uh, Lewis in front.

Mate, I can't see much.

Honestly, it's tough.

You okay, Isack?

f*ck.

I got hit from behind.

Something feels wrong with the car.

Okay, Kimi, so we're gonna retire the car.

f*ck!

Safety car. Safety car, Oscar. Safety car.

All of that great work
from Oscar Piastri has just gone to waste

because that means
they'll just all catch him up.

Just take no risks
behind the safety car, Oscar.

I can hardly see anything
behind the safety car.

Copy.

Take care then, Oscar. Take care.

Come on, mate! Jesus!

- Oh!
- Oh!

What's he doing?

He just suddenly slows down.

He basically stopped on track.

Yeah, he stopped.

That's dangerous driving.

He might get a penalty.

Oscar, we've been given
a ten-second penalty

for the braking on the straight
before the safety car restart.

f*ck, mate.

That's a bit bold.

- That's a lot, isn't it?
- Ten?

Okay, Lando, opportunity.
Oscar has a ten-second penalty.

Yeah, confirm.

Safety car will be in this lap.

Copy.

Here we go again.

Okay, Max, let's go.

f*cking hell!

f*ck!

Max Verstappen
spins around from second position.

That lets Lando Norris through.

Incredibly difficult
conditions for everyone right now.

Very wet here.

I know. It's gonna be difficult
in these conditions.

Oh man.

It is still way too damp out there.

So, Lando, just gotta keep it on track.

Yeah, confirm.

You've just got to survive
these conditions.

Lando, the focus is good. Keep it up.

Good job, Lando.

Here we go then. Come on!

Lando Norris is the
de facto leader of the British Grand Prix

unless Oscar Piastri can build up
a ten-second gap.

We'll serve the penalty, Oscar.
We'll box this lap.

Copy, box.

Nothing will happen for ten seconds

because Oscar Piastri
has got to serve his penalty.

I don't think the penalty was very fair.

I mean, I know it's a big question,

but if you don't think it was fair either,
I think we should swap back and race.

We have a little issue here, Zak.

We can't play God.

I mean, he's got the penalty,

and at the end of the day,
Lando might even be quicker at the moment.

Oscar, we're not going to do
any team orders.

It's just, uh, five laps to the end.

Copy.

Lando Norris
started in third. He's now first.

Lando, gap to Oscar is 6.3 and building.

This is huge for Norris.

Lando has driven a brilliant race.

Focus is good. Keep it up.

This is the last lap.

Lando Norris is nearly there.

The last corner was the first
time I looked up to the grandstand.

Everyone standing
and cheering and applauding.

It feels amazing

to have that feeling of I can still do it.

That's what I needed.

Lando Norris wins the British Grand Prix

for the first time!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Oh my God, we did it.

Whoo!

Yeah!

Yeah, it's beautiful.

Oh, it's f*cking amazing.

This is a dream, winning at home.

It's the best feeling I have ever had,
for me to win here,

in front of the team, my family.

Mom wants to see ya.

Let me see your eyes.

- I love you so much.
- I love you too.

Enjoy. Enjoy. Okay? Good.

It's the best feeling I've ever had, genuinely.

I want you to remember one thing
about the 2025 British Grand Prix.

We kicked their a*s!

Awesome for Lando to win his home race.

What's great is you got two drivers
that are fighting at the front,

going down hopefully to the last race
fighting for the championship.

Your British Grand Prix winner,
Lando Norris!

It feels as though
Zak's two number-one strategy

is creating more confusion
than certainty between their drivers.

Where's Oscar gone?

Oh, he went in. He's not very happy.

We now have the same scenario
but flipped 180,

in that Lando is overjoyed

and Oscar is furious.

If Zak and McLaren don't back
a clear number one driver

for the championship,

then at what point
does it open up a door for someone else?

Christian needs a headline result.

The Verstappens
have a lot of power in that team.

The right decision?

I'm a little bit worried.

This is my team.

I'm not going anywhere.

Max Verstappen wins two in a row.

He's like that bad guy
in a horror movie. He keeps coming back.

- Welcome to Abu Dhabi.
- Lando has everything to lose.

My confidence is not there yet.

Absolutely bricking it.
