00:00.
00:18Morning.
00:19Morning.
00:19How's it going?
00:20You good?
00:21Good, you?
00:21Yeah, not bad.
00:25I always had this passion of eventually setting up
00:29kind of my own racing team.
00:34We decided to create Verstappen.com Racing.
00:37At the moment, of course, it's jury driving in the GT3 cars.
00:41Especially after all the right-handers,
00:43when you get that chicane,
00:44but it's much better like this.
00:46There's so much more confidence on the braking,
00:48on the entry to the corner.
00:49It's just much more stable.
00:52What I also enjoy is to see young talent coming through.
00:56So that's why to try and create your own team
00:58and seeing that growth of drivers also coming through
01:02is something that I enjoy.
01:05Max, you are a free time world champion.
01:08That's absolutely unbelievable.
01:10Very lovely.
01:12People sometimes ask me,
01:13what do you do in your free time?
01:14And they expect you to be something completely different
01:17to anyone else.
01:17But I also just enjoy the normal stuff.
01:20He will do everything to win.
01:21You see the competitiveness coming out for sure.
01:24Hey, you shut up.
01:26I'm braking on the entry to the corner.
01:30I think my life off track is just very normal.
01:32You know what I would like right now?
01:33Kebab.
01:35You know, very simple how it should be.
01:37I mean, we're only 55 minutes later.
01:42For sure, Max is the master.
01:45There is anything.
01:47Nice and simple.
02:11We good.
02:12I know.
02:16But we'll see what I was looking for.
02:18Okay.
02:20Yeah.
02:20Well, no.
02:23Any love three?
02:25Yeah.
02:26I feel like it's on me.
02:27Yeah.
02:29I'm going through, but you're like, I'm just a bad boy.
02:34We were thinking about something what Max was doing for a long time in several topics.
02:41It was sim racing.
02:42He was very engaged in GT3.
02:45And Jos was doing a rally.
02:46And we thought to bring everything under one umbrella, in one look and feel,
02:51where Max is basically over-viewing all three pillars,
02:55with the passion that he has for racing in general.
02:59Oh, yeah?
03:00Can you have a reserve motor vehicle?
03:02Yeah.
03:02Really?
03:03Yeah, of course.
03:06You have a spare engine made.
03:08That's the R8.
03:09That's the R8.
03:10Yeah.
03:12I'm ready.
03:13All right, the other two.
03:14In case, you know, you go backwards into the wall, you have a spare engine.
03:18Excellent.
03:21My main focus, of course, is still on F1, so I can't dedicate my own time fully on it.
03:27I mean, it's something that I grew up with in the back of my mind.
03:31One day, you know, when let's say F1 is enough, you don't want to continue driving anymore.
03:35The more you want to run your own team, the more you want to run your own team.
03:39Eventually, I would like to have F1.com racing as a team.
03:47At the moment, we are at a team, with our drivers, with our own liveries and sponsors,
03:52but the target is to just have fully your own team.
04:03The more you want to run your own team, the more you want to run your own team, the more
04:08you want to run your own team.
04:10My son is driving in the GTM this year, and we have to learn a lot in GT,
04:14because it's a different ballgame than Formula One.
04:18I think it's the toughest GT3 category out there at the moment.
04:23All the good drivers are in it, and to come in as a kind of a rookie with not much
04:28experience is tough,
04:30but it's a good learning school.
05:00Of course, there's moments where he's maybe not so happy with a certain performance,
05:04but he will be also the first one to say how I can do better.
05:07So it's not just pointing fingers, it's always pushing me forward to improve and to learn from my mistakes.
05:16I'm there to coach him, I'm there to help him, he sees the data, he sees what I'm doing differently
05:21to him,
05:21and it's all about processing and learning.
05:27There's no other action in here, my socks as the last one.
05:31What's wrong?
05:33It's only the first time I picked him.
05:36Oh yeah.
05:37Hooky.
05:42The car that we're driving with at the moment is still very new,
05:45so it's normal that you are still learning and finding a lot of things.
05:58I jumped in the car myself, so I wanted to feel what was going on.
06:02Have you the rembalance?
06:04Yeah, I'm going to go ahead.
06:05Three clicks.
06:07Now, just a little bit.
06:09Can you do it a little bit?
06:10Yeah, yeah.
06:15That's right.
06:17Of course it's a new car for him,
06:19so just talking about the buttons,
06:21how everything works,
06:22every car is a little bit different.
06:24Pedalen do you with the handle that is here.
06:30If you put the pin in,
06:32if you hit the rim hard in,
06:33and you press the button right back on the steering wheel,
06:35then this goes from white to green.
06:37And now...
06:37Oh, this button.
06:39Ah, here.
06:40Yes.
06:42You don't have to hit it.
06:43Just click one time,
06:43so now it's activated because it's green.
06:46And then you start,
06:48as we are already in the air,
06:50then you have a drop start,
06:51and then you can go away
06:52without anything to push.
06:53Without anything to push?
06:54And when I come back?
06:55Eh,
06:56then you can just stop it
06:57and then start with the start button.
06:59That's all right.
06:59If it's good, it's all right.
07:13I think he feels the limitation of the car
07:16in the second lap.
07:21He's steering the car with his body.
07:23He feels everything.
07:25He knows exactly what the car is missing
07:28to go fast.
07:35Fortunately, Max is the master.
07:37He's a three-time world champion,
07:39so if he said,
07:40you have to do this and this,
07:41then he's listening.
07:56At the second lap?
07:57At the first lap,
07:58I'm just spinning it all out.
08:00In one round,
08:02in the third lap.
08:04Oh,
08:04when you're not in,
08:05you're going halfway to the other.
08:07I didn't get the first lap,
08:08and I didn't get the second lap.
08:10You are fast in the second sector. I had it very hard for those two cells.
08:15But you feel it just not there.
08:22But yeah, that's good.
08:25I think if you have a bit of trust that you can so hard on the box...
08:48It's not warm, eh?
08:51We don't want Max to make it too difficult.
08:53I think he's just awake.
09:00Can you see him?
09:03He's there.
09:10No, a quarter over.
09:11Quarter past nine, eh?
09:13Yeah.
09:13That's Max.
09:14Where is he?
09:17Well...
09:17Oh, he said 9.45.
09:20Breakfast 9.45, first thing 10.15.
09:22Oh, 10.15, yeah.
09:24Okay.
09:24Huh?
09:27I looked at the schedule, it says 9.45.
09:30Like arrival.
09:31Yeah, but it says 9.45 to like 10.05 arrival.
09:38I thought, on you to hear, I think he's still in bed.
09:42Breakfast 9.45 and first thing 10.15.
09:45Oh, you can even do a track and track oefening.
09:50Yeah.
09:51The rally career is the age before beauty.
10:08It's time to qualify in Monaco.
10:11The streets here in Monte Carlo...
10:13...is a fight against yourself, against the walls...
10:18...and especially against the clock.
10:20Well, Max.
10:21Enjoy your day.
10:23I'm happy that it's a Sunday evening.
10:29Hey, guys, thank you.
10:30Hey, guys.
10:38Can you stream it, or how are you?
10:42Can I not?
10:43Oh.
10:44Oh.
10:46What?
10:46So, welcome everybody to Osher Schleben...
10:49...as we get set for our first qualifying session...
10:52...of the new DTM season 2023.
10:57I think it's been three times over C's.
10:59Ha, ha, ha, ha.
11:01Ha, ha, ha, ha.
11:06What was the first three?
11:07Or was it actually the first?
11:08Yeah, yeah.
11:10It was in the silverstone.
11:11Was it when you were 17?
11:14Was it when you were 17?
11:14Back in the Lamborghini.
11:15Having a...
11:16...ah, ha, ha, ha.
11:17Yeah, yeah.
11:17I was happy with the rally.
11:18Yeah, I was happy with the rally.
11:19Yeah, yeah.
11:20Really smooth, actually.
11:21Didn't really look like he was pushing it on the ragged edge...
11:24...but, my goodness, it was quick.
11:25When I watch my friends racing, I'm probably more nervous...
11:28...than I ever am in the car myself.
11:31Once you're in control, you know what you're doing.
11:33But then someone else is controlling their job, right?
11:37They're driving.
11:40Nobody has put in a banker lap at the moment.
11:42They've all done their system checks, their installation lap.
11:46They're back into the pits.
11:47There's just two cars out on the track at the moment, and...
11:50A stopwatch for Thierry is the same as a stopwatch for the rest.
11:54On the end, you're competing with the rest of the field...
11:57...and Thierry has to prove his speed.
11:58And, of course, with Verstappen.com and Red Bull on the car...
12:02...we want to compete in the front.
12:07So he knows what the outlines are.
12:09To be part of this programme, he has to perform.
12:15On the end, we want to be competitive.
12:17I told my son, I'm happy to support you...
12:20...but we have to compete in the front.
12:27You don't have to compete in the front.
12:29You're a speedy bike, right?
12:33He's a speedy bike.
12:35He's a speedy bike.
12:36He's a speedy bike.
12:36He's a speedy bike, right?
12:40He loses three tenths in the first sector.
12:43I didn't feel super confident just struggled a lot
12:47Then you start as a driver to push even more try things which are just not possible
12:52You know you just try to bring more speed into the corner, and then it's only getting worse
12:57I remember just talking to yourself like what the fuck are you doing? You know?
13:13You should have, the lap he did at 34, he should have slowed it down instead of then continue bushing
13:22You look at the screens and you are just in the bottom half
13:26Yeah, it's just frustrating because you put so much effort into it
13:29You try to prepare yourself so much and you have moments where it's going really well
13:33And then from one moment to the other moment it's not working anymore
13:40He did a bit of go-karting here
13:41There like very little not much at all
13:44I think step by step he started to you know pick up a little bit the virus of the racing
13:49as well
13:49So at one point we're like well, why don't we give him a go in a gt4 car?
13:55See how it goes we did those track days and you could see like with no basically racing experience that
14:01he picked it up quite
14:03Naturally, I would say he did a drifting course in Germany, and he was facetiming me when he was doing
14:09his lab
14:14Half an hour later I got the first picture that he was crashed
14:18So yeah, it goes with crashes
14:21He's racing against guys who grew up with me who have a lot of racing experience so it's not easy
14:27to
14:28Immediately you know be in the fight with him know exactly what to do
14:32But it's good. It's the hard way
14:54Instinct you cannot really train that just comes naturally
15:00It's just that those racing scenarios and just progressing through a race weekend knowing when to push when to be
15:07on the limit or not
15:10Again that I also didn't learn in one or two years. It's just every year. You just get a bit
15:16better at it
15:45I'm curious to see
15:47See how your swap lane
15:50He will treat for sure
15:51Yeah, yeah, yeah
15:53Kijk eens wie daar achter ons zit
15:55He's de directeur
15:56He's Max
16:03Now, let's see who it's going to win
16:08Goedemorgen
16:11Goedemorgen
16:11Goedemorgen
16:13YeahGoedemorgen
16:14Goedemorgen
16:15Most accurate Words like
16:18a seamless
16:19exatamente Who is a
16:21decent
16:21A great goal You
16:23are drawn to
16:27Oh, stay there.
16:28Stay there.
16:30Yeah, I'll see you.
16:33Good morning.
16:34Good morning. How are you guys?
16:37What's up?
16:38What's up?
16:41When did you get this one?
16:46It's for a big hat.
16:54I wonder if my dad finds a place.
17:05So, good morning.
17:07Good morning.
17:07Good morning.
17:09Good morning.
17:14Cherie is, of course, the son of my manager, first of all,
17:18but I know him since he was basically born.
17:21We kind of, you know, like, grew up together.
17:28My first real memory with Max was probably when I was about six
17:32and I had a remote control Formula One car,
17:34and he will for sure remember this story.
17:37We were playing with the car.
17:39He was like, can I give it a try?
17:40So, I gave the remote control to him,
17:42and about five seconds later, the car ended up in the water.
17:46That was my birthday present gone.
17:50I need to still ask him if he can get me a new one.
18:08What am I doing?
18:13During pedal, you see more his competitive side.
18:16At the end, you know, he wants to win, and he will do everything to win.
18:20So, he wants to have the best racket.
18:22He wants to have the best technique playing.
18:24He wants to feel ready, so he will make sure that he's fully prepared.
18:28For me, it was also funny seeing kind of that side in him in a friendship,
18:33because, I mean, during pedal, it's still pretty relaxed,
18:35but you see the competitiveness coming out for sure.
18:46Normally, they always say you shouldn't start a business with friends or whatever,
18:50but it also depends.
18:52I mean, if I believe and I see that, you know, they're well qualified,
18:55then why can you not be friends?
18:56Everyone has to do their job to the best,
18:58so at the end of the day, the performance, of course, comes over friendship,
19:02but everyone knows that that should be, I think, the standard anyway
19:06when you set up a team that is not there just, you know,
19:08to have an easy-going time, and I'm there to win.
19:12I'm not there to just fill up the field.
19:16I love it.
19:18Even when you play shit, it's still fun.
19:22I mean, it's all about trying to get better.
19:25Yeah, that's right.
19:27It's all about racing.
19:29I'm not gonna go to the race.
19:30In race one, I went to the first round,
19:32I went to Calvin.
19:34You were in your first race,
19:36it's a bit of a sleep in the start.
19:40What do you do when you start?
19:41Do you just brake, brake, brake, brake?
19:44You have to spin the turbo.
19:45You have to brake a little bit.
19:48You have to brake a little bit.
19:49If you have a turbo, you have to brake a little bit.
19:52You have to brake a little bit.
19:55Sometimes, you get a gearbox that's too warm.
19:59Yeah, then you get a little bit warm.
20:02I don't know.
20:04But you don't have to brake a little bit.
20:05Not full gas and full gas, but just...
20:07Yeah, it's a preload.
20:09Yeah.
20:10You miss a bit of those moments.
20:34It's always good to come to a test day where there's no pressure,
20:37there's no one around.
20:38You can just focus on your own things,
20:40and also try a lot of different things
20:42to really know what direction to go to.
20:45You have to test a little bit more.
20:49If you know what you want to do,
20:51you can do nothing.
20:52You have to test a little bit more.
20:54You have to test a little bit more.
20:56Set up.
20:57It will come well.
21:10I struggle a little bit.
21:12It's on the curb.
21:14The car in the front doesn't seem to absorb the curb very nicely.
21:18The car was very oversteering, which I normally don't mind, but it was too much.
21:25I want to feel understeer, like try to get to an understeer balance,
21:29because every corner I'm just fighting the rear.
21:34Yeah, it just feels a bit light on the rear.
21:36The more you can find there.
21:38When he was peaking, it was getting straight on the point.
21:44And also, for the magnitude of the issue, it was clear how much I had to do.
21:49Because, of course, being an F1, they listen to you a little bit more.
21:52It's normal.
21:54Cherie is a bit more of a rookie, and, of course, the engineers are also quite stubborn.
21:58That's how they are.
22:00I think he was already complaining a bit, like, ah, the car's a bit on the oversteer side.
22:04It's not, you know, very stable on the rear.
22:06But they were like, yeah, do we trust his feedback fully or not?
22:10But then I jumped in the car, and I said the same thing to what Cherie said.
22:14That's also very important for them to know that what I say is the same as Cherie,
22:18so they can trust his feedback.
22:23I had a lot of interaction with different drivers in the past,
22:26also quite important drivers.
22:29But no one, let's say, at the level of Max.
22:33You know, everyone can do a fast lap.
22:35That's probably the least, hardest thing.
22:38But it's also understanding why you did a fast lap,
22:40or understand where can I improve more.
22:44Just work for it, like, you know, work hard,
22:46understand the mechanical side of the cars as well,
22:48the whole package that needs to come together.
22:50And that's what I try to explain step by step.
23:11Because, you know, yesterday, I saw us really loose,
23:13but I felt that we could improve the rear.
23:16It had a lot of potential.
23:17From yesterday, we went down 4 plus 5.5 in the end, so 10 years old.
23:25I think also, what I feel this car...
23:28I think his commitment and his precision.
23:31Always looking to the details, which I try to do the best myself.
23:35But I think with the experience he has, he's really good at that,
23:37and always thinking in advance.
23:39He's very quick with the thought process.
23:42Actually, it's all that we get some, uh...
23:44Okay, completely, nah, I guess if that's...
24:0410K.
24:04I think you'll get fast.
24:08I don't know.
24:10I'm really curious.
24:19Look at how top speed this is now.
24:22They're up to it.
24:22They gave us to it.
24:23Oh, fucking hell, green, mate.
24:29To see him go directly up to speed.
24:35Everyone at one point can put a quite quick lap,
24:37but for him it just comes so quick.
24:39Even if it's a new car,
24:41he can just drive around the problems
24:43and use his talent and his experience
24:45to directly be on the pace.
24:51Freeze, goodness.
24:54How can you be so quick?
24:56Because it's Max.
25:15I know what to expect from this kind of guy.
25:18In this case was something really unexpected,
25:21in a way that he was improving the lap time at a level which normally is not existing in the
25:28real life.
25:29So you are surprised even if you expect.
25:32So, yes, then you remember it's something to say with your friends when you are in the future in the
25:38bar.
25:44And you could just see the eyes lit up from the end of day one to day two and you
25:49could see the comfort in the behavior.
25:52For them it was like when we did the lap time, they were like, wow, you know, the car is
25:56quick.
25:57We made it quick.
25:58It really feels a lot quicker.
26:00Like, it feels like a different car.
26:04So, again, it's like a whole boost to the team at the end of the day.
26:07So they all went to the next race.
26:09I think full of confidence that, yes, now we have a car that, you know, we can fight up front.
26:31So it was great to be in Mugello because over the two days I gained a lot of confidence back.
26:38I think also with the team, they started to trust me a bit more, maybe with certain set-up feedback.
26:43So it just kind of makes you forget the bad moments before and like a fresh start for the next
26:49weekends.
27:28It looks so good, like the way moves.
27:32The team of Red Bull, a beautiful day for Verstappen.
27:36He is the king.
27:39It's unbelievable, man.
27:42The title, the sixth constructeur title, could not be able to get the team of Red Bull.
27:47And that happens here, ultimately, not great.
27:51Verstappen.
27:52Yeah, unbelievable guys.
27:53You deserve that.
27:55What an unbelievable season we are having.
27:57Unbelievable.
27:58Large and in charge.
27:59Because that is Max Verstappen.
28:01What a wonderful race.
28:03And he stinted on mediums.
28:04Let's see what this race was.
28:09And I think...
28:11Proficiat, eh?
28:12Ten eerste.
28:13Yeah, thank you very much.
28:15Is goed.
28:16Wie jij?
28:17Yeah, it was lastig.
28:18With the two sets.
28:19Yeah.
28:20And after three push.
28:21The band duurt altijd iets langer voordat die banden komen.
28:25Yeah, omdat die heel zacht of ja, heel fijn is die band natuurlijk.
28:29And die slijt niet echt.
28:31Maar ja, dat is wat het is.
28:33Waarom waren jullie lager in druk dan?
28:35Toen opzichte van de testen.
28:37Ja, dat weet ik.
28:38Ik denk dat de temperatuur gewoon lager is.
28:40En tot daardoor tot die minder snel omhoog kwam.
28:42Dat zijn ze nu een kek.
28:43Is het nu kouder dan vrijdag?
28:45Ja, het is wel een stuk kouder, ja.
28:47Ja.
28:49Ja.
28:50Ik heb weer wat geleerd voor de volgende keer.
28:52Ik vertel dat wel, ja.
28:54Ja, ja.
28:55Nu kan je er toch niks meer aan veranderen.
28:57Oké, Benk?
28:58Yes.
28:58Ik ben benieuwd.
29:00We proberen het te volgen in het vliegtuig.
29:01Ja.
29:02Hopelijk is het te wiet van me, weet je oké.
29:03Nou, is goed.
29:05Ik laat jullie anders wat weten.
29:06Hopelijk tot het een goede reis wordt.
29:09Ja.
29:09Is goed.
29:10Goed je staar.
29:11Oh, joh.
29:14Nog tips, papa?
29:15Ja.
29:15Wat zegt hij?
29:17Nog tips?
29:18Ja.
29:19Eh, laten remmen en eerder op het gas.
29:22Ja.
29:23En zorg maar voor...
29:23En iets meer snelheid meenemen.
29:25Iets meer snelheid meenemen.
29:26Is goed.
29:27Ja.
29:28Nou, doei.
29:28Doei.
29:29Doei.
29:30Doei.
29:49Doei.
29:50Doei.
29:52Doei.
29:57Doei.
30:09Doei.
30:10I see the potential is there I think in one or two years you know like he can pick up
30:16so much more experience and then you become a more all-rounded driver I'm pretty confident
30:26that he can really fight for you know race wins and who knows championship
30:47you
