08x05 - The Sky's The Limit

[bunniefuu]

- Hello. Nice to meet you.
- I'm Brian.

Hey, Brian. And you. Hello.

- How are we doing?
- Hello, doing good.

We're here to fly with the Blue Angels.

So I don't know if they told you,
I went and did, uh,

two days of flying,
uh, aerobatic aircraft.

- Uh-huh.
- To get myself up to speed.

Okay.

- Here he is.
- How are we doing?

- I'm very good, how are you?
- Excellent.

I'm James Vowles. I'm the team principal
for the Atlassian Williams Racing Team.

Gentlemen, good morning.

When doing any kind of maneuvers
that are pulling X amount of Gs,

tighten those glutes, tighten that core.

Don't hyperventilate
'cause then you will pass out.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

I don't want the footage
to be me passed out.

My name is Alexander Albon.

I've been with Williams for...

Well, this is my fifth year.

You've got five minutes.

- I'm a bit nervous.
- A bit nervous?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

How much does James like planes?

Uh, James loves it.

He likes to look at the data.
This is the kind of guy James is.

Uh, here comes the canopy.
It's coming down.

There's a big link

between being in fast jets
and being involved in Formula 1.

Clear for take-off.

We both need to push
to the absolute limit.

- That was incredible!
- Here we go!

You do know
you have the best job in the world?

Yeah, it's a pretty good one.

What I enjoy about Formula 1 is that,
from one year to the next,

you can have
this complete topsy-turvy change.

And that's what we have.

Oh, wow, that's amazing.

This season, I'm buzzing
because there's an up-step in the team.

There's a strength in the team.

Wow!

And I'm buzzing because

Carlos will be here.

Victory for Carlos Sainz!

P1, baby.

Carlos Sainz is one
of the biggest stars in Formula 1.

One of the sport's poster boys,
multiple race winner.

This is a massive catch for James Vowles.

Today I'm announcing that
I will be joining the Williams family.

Carlos had a lot of options for 2025.

The decision to join Williams
was a surprise one.

Congratulations.

Give me a hug.

In the last five years...

Oh, that's Logan Sargeant!

...Williams found themselves
towards the back.

If I summarize our year so far,
it's not one to be proud of.

And it's Alex Albon off!

The Williams team
having a horrible, pointless season.

Whatever James sold him on,

it has to be
something pretty big and meaningful.

I'm really excited to have Carlos joining.

He had probably half the grid
that he could've gone to.

What excited him
is the journey that we're on.

The vision's simple.

We're here to win
multiple World Championships.

- Good work. That was awesome.
- Thank you so much.

- Enjoy it?
- How do you feel? I feel shaky.

Just thank you so much.

I'll sleep well tonight.
That's all I can say.

James has been telling the world

that Williams finds itself
at the dawn of a new era.

It's a big statement.

And now the pressure's on.

And he has to deliver.

British countryside.

Quite different
to the road to Maranello, no?

One of the biggest things that
I'm gonna miss from Ferrari is the food.

This is high-performance food
for athletes.

Bacon roll.

British food.

Food in England,

I would say, is not the best.

At the same time,

there's three or four things that
I always really enjoyed about England.

One is the porridge.

English breakfast.

The baked beans.

Apart from this,

there's nothing really

particularly good about it.

Oh, here we go.

Overtake.

What a move.

- Why are you sending us here?
- Uh...

What the f*ck?

Where are you going?
This is a f*cking farm.

It said to the left.

Oh, we are late
on our first day to school.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Good morning.

What's this I hear this morning?
You were eating an egg bacon sandwich?

When I'm in the UK, I follow the UK diet.

Which is a bacon bap.

- Wow.
- Or a sausage roll.

And a sausage roll.
I need to speak to Caco. This is not good.

I think James has pulled a blinder
getting Carlos.

Knowing what that can bring to that team,
James Vowles deserves to celebrate.

Do you think it'll be
a slightly less glamorous lifestyle?

What are you saying about Williams? Rude!

The Union Jacks are waving.

Williams has got
an extraordinary legacy in this sport.

Damon Hill wins the Japanese Grand Prix.

Sixteen World Championships,

nine Constructors', seven Drivers',



And it would just be a wonderful thing

to see Williams back
winning Grand Prix in Formula 1 again.

So the big question is...
is... is James Vowles the guy to do that?

I want this team to be successful
with all my heart.

But I knew what I was getting myself into.

This will be incredibly difficult.
We've got to be realistic.

The top four are the top four still.
But our goal is to make sure

we're moving forward
from where we were last year,

and not fighting for eighth or ninth.

But I think we have it within our ability
to finish fifth.

Go from ninth to fifth,
it would elevate the team to a new level.

Carlos is gonna go out
for his first run very shortly.

This is the kick-off.

Yeah, ready. It's good.

The team has done
a very big step forward into 2025.

The decision of moving to Williams,

I think he did the right call.

But I think it's still early stages.

You have an F1 interview
with the top line questions...

Who on the grid would be your best man?
Who would you trust to cut your hair?

- Really simple.
- We do that together with Carlos?

No, no, Carlos is busy.
Gonna do it individually now, okay?

Because we can't get you both
at the same time. It's too difficult.

Carlos joining,

if anything, it's fuel.

It... It... It's what motivates you
to... to extract your best,

and it's a great challenge to have.

- Good job, Carlos.
- Yeah, all good.

It's a new car to me, but I have good pace

and I feel like
I can get a good lap time out of it.

Oh, I'm happy. All the work
comes together in a few minutes.

Going to Williams,
I'm not gonna lie, I had doubts.

It's a decision that is gonna be
so important for my career.

All good.

Good. That's what I like to hear.
It's a big step from last year.

But I strongly believed in this team.
I strongly believed in James' vision.

And I strongly believed in myself.

I took his word that, "I'm hiring you

because I think you are the guy that needs
to help me to go back to the top."

The new season is underway.

Okay, Carlos.
Go race when you can. Go race.

Copy.

f*cking hell. What happened?

Oh sh*t, he's in the wall.

f*ck.

Carlos Sainz,
in his first start for Williams,

out of the race.

Alex, P5.

Whoa. Well done. What a way to come back.

Okay, Carlos, that's P14.

It's been a tough start to the season.

I'm struggling with the car
and the driving style the car requires.

Alex, that's the flag. P9.

Nice one.

Well done, everyone.

Alex Albon's been a revelation this year.

Carlos will definitely need time
to adapt to Williams.

How we operate, how we extract
the most performance from the car,

all of that is different.

Let's wait to see the Williams.

Oh my word!

That car is far too damaged.

It's been strange how difficult it's been

adapting to a new car and a new team.

And, uh, yeah, it frustrates me for sure.

Carlos is absolutely
going to take some time.

It's not just stepping
from one race car to the next.

But despite that,

Williams have clearly come out of the box
with a competitive race car.

P5 in the Constructors'.

But it would seem that the old hand,

Alex Albon, is the one
scoring most of their points,

and Carlos is being somewhat left behind.

- How are you?
- Yeah, very good.

- Hey.
- Very good. How are you?

Hey.

May I have your attention
for a moment please?

Observe the seatbelt and no smoking signs.

- Alex, have you eaten anything?
- A little bit.

I can offer you an avocado.

Oh, this was you?
That's very kind. Thank you.

He feeds me.

Not many team principals feed you.
They want you to be as light as possible.

- Do you want a water, Alex?
- I'm good for water. Thank you.

I think really well done

for what has happened
across the beginning of the season.

You came swinging
to the first test and the first races,

and I... I think we have to acknowledge
that we are where we are thanks to you.

I don't just mean in this year.

The last few years of your hard work
and dedication has put us there.

With Carlos being my teammate,
there's a bit more incentive

to be motivated to do well.

But actually,

most of it just comes down to

if we have the opportunity
to score points, we must score them.

I think Carlos took a bit of time to adapt

because he came in driving it
more like it was a Ferrari.

That actually exposed the issues far more.

Alex is doing brilliantly this year.

This is the best
I've known him as a driver.

And with Carlos, I think the transition
was harder than expected.

But now we need two drivers to make sure
that we're competing at the front.

We will be landing in a few minutes.

Please place all tables
in the fully stowed position.

In Miami, there are golf courses here
that are, like, a million dollars to join.

Miami's been an incredible addition
to the Formula 1 calendar.

You know, South Beach,

sunshine,

fun...

glitz, glamor,

famous faces.

There's always something wild happening.

A-Are we driving Lego cars for real?

Apparently.

I'm building a Millennium Falcon now.

- How many pieces is it?
- It's, like, 76,000 pieces.

It's gonna take me forever.

I could never do that.

After ten minutes,
I will say, "f*ck this."

They've made Formula 1-sized Lego cars,
and we're just gonna drive on track,

which, um, will always be chaos.

The Miami parade was...

It was awesome.

I've never been so close to Charles,

uh, with him between my... between my legs.

Maybe you can take it in turns.

Come on, jump in.

Stop complaining. Get on with it.

You've lost your place.

Look at this line!

Agh!

They nearly crashed.

Kimi, you look like
you're doing business calls.

This has clearly become a race now.

This is the best... best fun of the year.

Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Box, box. Front wing.

I wasn't a Lego kid.

I had, uh, Playmobil.

It was like West Coast, East Coast,
you know.

Mercedes look slow.

Yeah, I know.

We might get a podium.

It gets competitive very quickly.

It was always gonna end badly.

Oh no!

Oh. Oh! Oh!

No!

Yes! Yes!

Last corner, last lap.

It was chaos,

but, um, probably the best race
of the season for us.

How are you feeling
about qualifying? Expectation?

Two cars in the top ten
is all we should be aiming for,

and I think it's possible.

It's just tricky.
It's that first run out that we do.

You're just never quite sure
if everything's gonna go well.

Have a seat.

With Carlos, I mean,
probably on reflection, I was a bit naive.

And asking any human being in the world
to come in and instantaneously adapt

is just not realistic.

We still have
some performance to bring this year

to make sure he's extracting everything
from himself and his engineers.

And that's the area
where I still see him developing.

We haven't connected everything
that Carlos is capable of doing yet.

I know that. He knows that.
The team knows that.

But I'm confident
Carlos will adapt to the car,

and we can deliver as a team.

Time for qualifying
once again. It is round six.

Obviously, Carlos coming in,
there was a lot of question marks.

Like, who's gonna be the better driver
between those two?

And the fact Alex is sort of, you know,

wiping the floor at the moment,
I'm really happy for him.

Carlos is extremely talented.

And, um, as difficult as it may seem
on paper, I... I think he's very strong,

and it's only a matter of time
before people realize that.

So, uh, I'm not worried for Carlos.
He's, uh, an incredible driver.

When you get beaten by a teammate
almost every race,

your own confidence gets a bit of a knock.

I think the challenge
is more the mental side.

Straight out. Track is clear.

Alex, good start. Let's keep the speed up.

Come on, Alex.

Are you happy?

- Yep.
- Okay.

Alex, P6.

Nice job.

Car is good, so thank you.

Carlos Sainz starts a new flying lap.

Come on!

Sainz has gone fastest
in the middle sector.

Come on!

Good. Come on!

Oh my God, my nerves!

A brilliant lap from Carlos Sainz,

who jumps ahead of his teammate.

That's P6.

- Come on!
- Yes!

Bien!

Very good job, mate.

Yeah, that was a solid one.
Car was super nice.

The former Ferrari man,
Carlos Sainz, ahead of his old team.

P8.

My God.

- Very good quali.
- Well done.

It shows
that you were comfortable with the car

and that, well, it was a matter of time.

Good job, mate.

It took me a few races
to adapt to the car,

but after quali in Miami, I'm feeling

like the season's starting to... to click.

I saw you on the TV.

Really? What was I doing?
Giggling? Being excited?

You were trying to control it,
but not being able to control it.

- Everyone's here.
- Everybody's here.

All right, everyone.

Uh, we need to, as a group now,
move our expectations

that we should be scoring points
every weekend going forward.

That's a mindset shift
from where we've been,

but that's the capability that we have
with both Carlos and Alex around us

and the car that we've been delivered.

- Carlos.
- Enough talking.

- It's time to go racing and enjoy.
- Well done.

Just got to focus on execution.

I think we can score points
this weekend very... Not...

I don't wanna jinx anything.
Let's focus on the weekend and we'll see.

Enjoy this weekend.
Let's go do it. Thanks.

In Miami, I want for Carlos

that he walks away
with an absolutely brilliant result.

I think it would

ratify his decisions

and it would cement us,

effectively, in that bond of we're here
and we're here to win together.

It is now time for the main event.

The Miami Grand Prix.

Okay, Alex. Give me a radio check.

Copy.

That's one minute.

Okay.

Qualifying is one thing,

but I need to put a full weekend together

to prove to Williams
and to prove to myself

that I'm exactly the guy they need.

Okay, Alex.
You've got Carlos ahead of you.

Alex, 0.8.

Yeah, all good.

Contact with Alex.

The two Williams made
contact, and Albon gets ahead of Sainz.

Overtake available.

Carlos Sainz is taking the position back

that he lost at the start.

And here comes Charles Leclerc.

Alex, try and hold this position.

I could do with a bit of help from Alex.

Right, Alex, we need
to maintain a gap of at least a second.

Alex has been instructed.

I'm about to overtake him, so...

Okay, crack on, then.

You told me he's been told.

- Yeah, man. Come on.
- I know, I know.

- Tell him.
- I know.

Let's be the bigger one, okay?

Williams seem to be
confusing their drivers

with poorly delivered instructions.

Leclerc and Hamilton both behind now.

Carlos Sainz
under big pressure from his old teammate

and the man who replaced him.

Am I catching?

Go ahead like this.

Maximum pace, please.

Carlos Sainz
tumbles down to ninth position.

Guys, we're compromising the race here.

Come on!

How the f*ck is that even possible?

Okay, Alex, last corner.

P5. Lovely job.

Come on! Yes!

Yeah!

Whoo!

Okay, checkered flag.

P9 for you. Alex, P5.

That's not how I go racing, guys.
I don't care.

I've lost a lot of confidence here

on everything.

Well done.

Apparently, we have a driver controversy?

- Sorry?
- Do we have a driver controversy?

It's, um... We need to tighten up as a team.

They gave the instruction to the cars
very poorly, very loosely.

It needs to be... If you're saying,
"Stay in the position," stay in position.

- Good recovery.
- It was great. Really good drive.

Fantastic. We were just rewatching it.

The end result was not the one I wanted,

and it happened
in a very frustrating manner.

And it was purely down to poor execution.

They told him
not to overtake me, but he did.

We made a mistake.

Some of our areas are simply not
at the level we need to be.

Well done, Alex!

Do you have the address?

Uh, yes. It's the Martinez Hotel.

In the end, Miami was a disaster.

Yeah.

It all came out wrong.

It's not only about
going fast with the car

but also knowing how to deliver
on a race weekend.

Yeah.

Obviously, that’s something
the team is still missing.

They need to get
that experience back again.

For me, the important thing is
when the car is like in Miami again,

to not repeat

all the f*ck-ups that were done.

Right. We're here to take photos.

Ready for the cameras?

- Hello.
- Hola.

- Hello!
- Carlos!

It's a very crucial time in my career.

Over the last few years in F1,
I've been doing well.

But at the same time,
it's a very short-term-memory sport.

Your stocks are pretty much decided
on the race by race.

I'm just trying to prove to everyone
what I'm worth.

How are you?

How are you? Again.

I've met him before.

Carlos!

That was Carlos, you guys!

It's very exciting
meeting new spokespeople.

Especially cute ones.

I always struggle with the neck.

F1 neck.

That's nice.

And looking away. Perfect.

And just work on your attitude
a little bit.

Now you look handsome.

Now I look better.

This year,
my expectations need to readapt.

- I've met you before, no?
- Where?

- Have I not? At Formula 1.
- Maybe.

- Yes, probably.
- Yes.

I'll miss the podiums.

I'll miss the celebrations.

I'll miss being on a headline
because I've won.

I remember the feeling.
Still very fresh in my head.

I wanna make sure I'm back...
back to that as soon as possible.

We need to go, guys. Come on, please.

Earned your money today.

Carlos! Carlos! Carlos!
Carlos! Carlos! Carlos!

Carlos, your pace is good.
Keep doing what you're doing.

Something doesn't feel right
with the front of the car.

Williams with their least
competitive outing of the season.

Well, that was not the race you wanted.

Okay, Carlos, it's a really good lap.

What the f*ck was that?

Trust is everything.

Particularly when you've asked a driver
to believe in the process,

to believe in the dream

that Williams are not going to be
toiling around at the back.

That they can be fighting at the front.

Guys, I cannot drive.

But it just hasn't worked out that way.

Yeah, they've fluffed this, Williams.

Something's strange.

It sounds mechanical.

Yeah, we've got issues
with the PU at the minute.

Standby to retire.
Just watch the cars behind you.

Back-to-back retirements for Williams.

They're having a bit of a blip.

James, he's got to try to find a solution.

We've been actually still not good enough.

We're pretty confident
that what we've got now is wrong,

and by a fairly big margin.

We are still not
championship-level material.

What is the potential? Can you get
into the points? Can you get good points?

Uh, I don't know. I don't care.
I'm too upset right now.

- Thanks.
- Williams are rebuilding.

But they're not at a position
where they can fight for podiums yet.

They're not even at a place where
they can consistently compete for points.

We are counting down
to the formation lap here in Austria.

Something is, uh, stopping the car
from moving forward.

Standby, standby, standby. Critical.

Just to let you know what's going on,
the brakes are currently on fire, okay?

Come and cool, then.

Come on, f*cking cool the brakes.

Be ready to exit, okay?

Game over.

Carlos Sainz will not take the lights.

In Austria, it was a painful memory
that will be etched in my brain forever.

A race where
we could have performed very well.

Is it bad luck,
or are we creating environments

that make it difficult
to perform at that level?

Bunch of sh*t.

James would really
have had to have sold Carlos the dream

to get him to sign that contract
to join him at Williams.

Yet that dream just hasn't
turned into reality yet.

James really has to get a handle
on this situation

if Carlos is going to stay at this team
for the long term.

We're fully committed
with the team, and that's our full focus.

But if an opportunity comes
to join another team,

then obviously, we will have to analyze it
and... and decide.

f*ck.

They are filming.

Uh...

Guys...

- Did you sleep properly?
- A good sleep. It's what I needed.

Carlos's frustration is normal,

and my job is to make sure
we provide the right environment

for him to want to be here,
I hope, for the rest of his career.

It's Carlos Sainz.

- Water for you?
- Sure.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

So we're fifth in the Championship.

We haven't maximized our point score.
That's the frustrating thing.

We could be even further ahead
than this again, but we're fifth.

You're a man of your word
and the car is clearly quicker.

- Yeah.
- But also, we've done a lot of mistakes.

As a team, we are further behind
on more than what I expected.

The moment you start fighting
top end of the midfield

and sometimes mixing it up with Ferrari,
Mercedes and Red Bull...

Correct.

...it exposes that we're also behind
in race execution.

This is team culture in the end.

This year we're letting P5, P6, P8
slip from our hands pretty easily,

which, honestly, puts me in a position

where I'm sometimes obviously frustrated,
because still it's... it's points.

I agree though. I think
this year's highlighted how hard it is

with this many things
that are still not right.

The second half of the season
needs to be a clear step forward.

Agreed.

Carlos's comments were apt and spot on.

We're not at championship level anywhere.

- How's it all going?
- It's been tough.

We're getting through it.
The boys are working hard.

So we've had honest, straight talks

about what isn't working
and what we need to change.

We'll be redeveloping our systems,
process, and structures.

Communication methods are working.

We're under pressure, as you'd expect,

but this is
when we're expected to deliver.

This isn't about apportioning blame.

It's about understanding
what we can all do better

with ourselves,
with the kit that's around us.

And ultimately,
that makes a faster and better team.

As a team principal,

making a race-winning Formula 1 team
takes an awful lot of hard work.

- Trying to find more performance.
- Good. Just need to move quicker.

It's like an orchestra.

You are trying to get every single member
playing their part in complete harmony,

and that is not an easy feat.

It takes time. It takes effort.

It takes making sure every single part
of your organization is operating

at its absolute peak performance.

It's good, but the ambition
needs to be much bigger.

The other day, I spoke to James.

The team is starting to work better.

It's a matter of time.
It's just a matter of patience, man.

At some point, it will change.
It has to change.

I've been in Formula 1 for ten years.

I can't remember a year
with so many different issues.

It's reminded me a little bit

of 2019, the first year at McLaren,

that we came from going fast
and not getting the results.

And in fact, the circuit
where everything changed was in Baku.

- It was in Baku. sh*t.
- Do you remember?

And suddenly,
arriving in Baku and a good result,

and from there, everything changed.

It's true. We've tried already
everything possible to make it work,

but it has to change.

I don't know.

You have already showed many times

that by trusting in your way
of doing things right,

keeping your head down,
focused, doing your thing--

That's what I say to myself.

As long as I go fast, the rest will come.

Let's go.

Baku is a high-speed street circuit

where the walls just close in on you.

The drivers are driving round that
at 300 kilometers an hour.

So, Charles, time for push, push.

Okay.

Ferrari's weekend
has gone down the pan here.

sh*t!

Nobody quite knows
what's going to happen in Baku.

Take care through turn five.

- Oscar, are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

For f*ck's sake.

Everyone is giving me
absolutely everything.

The hours that people have been pushing,
not for one month, not for one week.

People want this team to be successful
with all their heart and all their might.

Alex Albon,
a former F2 winner on these streets.

Baku is dirty. It's oily. It's windy.

All the corners are very, very similar,
but they're not the same.

The track is so dirty.

Copy.

It's kind of a recipe
for mistakes, really.

Ah f*ck!

f*ck, I'm out.

Sorry.

Disappointing there for Williams,

but they still have a chance with Sainz.

Carlos's season is such a funny one.

Coming into Baku,

he hasn't scored points in,
what is it, six races now?

That's a horrible run to be on.

And as each week passes by,

it makes you question

whether Carlos has made the right move.

The only thing missing here
is maybe a bit of diff, no?

Yeah. Yeah.

No, this is... I need to open early.

Yeah.

It felt like in Ferrari,

we were already close
to a championship-winning level.

Here, it helped the team to realize
how much we need to improve still...

if we wanna go back to winning.

Pushing.

Yeah, confirm.

Car feels good, guys.

- Go on!
- Come on, Carlos!

No-one's going quicker
than Sainz on this lap.

In Baku, I'm feeling
something different, something special.

I believe life sometimes gets tougher
before something good is about to come.

P2.

Let's go.

Brilliant qualifying
session. Wow, that was tough. Well done.

- Amazing job.
- Thank you, guys.

Yeah, let's go! Let's go!

Let's go.

I don't think you can overstate

what an impactful performance that is.

But you don't score points at qualifying.

- Morning.
- Morning, mate.

Um...

This... I will take it to the circuit.

Did you relax?

No.

I'm in P2. I'm in the front row.

Morning.

I'm trying to think positively.

For me, it's just the opportunity to...

to prove to myself, and to prove
to everyone, the whole paddock,

that I'm gonna overcome
not being in Ferrari anymore

and that I'm gonna create
something good with Williams.

It's a mixed-up grid.
We could be in for absolutely anything.

Well done.

The team hasn't been
fighting for podiums for many, many years.

But we're in a strong position.

This is about a thousand individuals
all pulling together.

Okay. That's 90 seconds.

All good.

I'm as focused as possible.

Focusing on having the fastest possible
reaction to the lights.

I'm thinking in the first couple
of corners in Baku,

it's never easy to get through
those three corners safely.

And I'm just telling to myself
that everything's gonna be all right.

Thirty seconds.

Alex Albon
clipped the wall, and he's in 19th.

Good start from
Max Verstappen, who chops across Sainz.

Carlos, Piastri's in the wall
at turn five.

Copy.

Okay, Alex. Overtake available.

He just moved mid-braking.

Okay, so Russell behind currently.

Four tenths quicker than us.
He will catch us in eight laps.

Happy to box.

Sainz, feeling the heat
from Russell, pits first.

Race-picture update.

We'll be box, box this lap.

A quick stop needed here
if he's to hold that position.

This lap's gonna be
close with Russell. Get ready.

Copy.

- Go on!
- Yes!

Push.

Russell and Mercedes
pip Sainz and Williams to second.

That's P3, mate.

Copy.

This podium
could be slipping away for Sainz.

Kimi closing in fast.

Seven laps remaining.

The gap ahead, 1.4, is to Sainz.

It's P3 ahead,
so there's podium in it for you, mate.

Copy.

Antonelli will use overtake.

We just have to push.

Come on, for f*ck's sake. Come on.

How many laps?

Two laps remain.

Push once you exit the last corner.

You're racing at 320, 330 kph...

so I'm just focusing on

making zero mistakes.

Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Carlos Sainz
takes the final step on the podium.

Come on! Come on!

Best podium in my career, guys.
You cannot imagine how this tastes.

Carlos, vamos!
Absolutely incredible. Come on!

This is the beginning of something great.

Thank you so much.

This is my first smooth operation
in Williams.

And not the last. And not the last.

Okay. P13 in the end.

-Tough day, but well done, nonetheless.
- Yeah, well done.

Come on!

So good!

- Come on!
- We did it!

Come on!

I'm just really happy.

Feeling that I'm just meant to be here
fighting for these podiums.

I needed Williams. Williams needed me.

And together,
we just feel in a good place.

That's why I can call this a home,

and now we can start
building on... on even better things.

Hello there!

- Well done.
- Thanks for coming down. Appreciate it.

I'm not gonna lie,
I wish I was the one to score the podium.

But to see the team get that result,
to see how much they enjoy it,

to share that moment with everyone
was very special.

Yeah!

What meant the world to me

was seeing the team rewarded
for their belief in me,

their belief in our journey.

It's shown them
that we are on the right track

and that our future is bright.
We're on a good path.

Mercedes and Ferrari are the two
teams that have their ups and downs.

Can't keep up, mate.

So doubt can creep in.

I feel very ashamed of my performance.

- He was crying.
- It's crunch time.

The most important thing
is to never give up.

Vegas is a mega event.

The one race in America we haven't won.

Off to work!

You guys arrived.

- Exactly. Whatever. I gotta just...
- Bam!

Lando's just dialed in, isn't he?
