00:00.
00:22Lewis Hamilton has left Mercedes to go to Ferrari.
00:30He's been the backbone of Mercedes.
00:32They won six World Championships.
00:34Lewis Hamilton wins the British Grand Prix!
00:38He's the GOAT. He's Lewis Hamilton.
00:45The question is, how do you replace
00:48the most successful driver that this sport has ever known?
01:04Hello, Mom.
01:05Hello.
01:06How are you?
01:07How are you?
01:08How are you going to verify?
01:09Good, good.
01:10It's going well.
01:10Perfect.
01:13Androchi Ventonelli, F1 driver
01:14for Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 team.
01:19He's just a kid.
01:20There's so much pressure on him.
01:22Seven years ago, he was 11 years old.
01:25Lewis is there in the Mercedes gear
01:26and he's wearing all his Mercedes stuff.
01:28He's a child, mate.
01:30I'm super excited.
01:32What, for your first season?
01:34No, because finally,
01:36I luckily have passed my driving test.
01:44My mom doesn't have to drive me around anymore.
01:47I can drive myself at the speed limit,
01:52which is hard.
01:54I mean, man, going at 30 kph is boring.
01:58What are you laughing at?
02:02It feels mega.
02:04Oh, my God.
02:07This year, you've got six rookies in the field.
02:16Anything can happen.
02:17Okay, everyone, I'm going to pose you individually,
02:20if that's cool.
02:20Timmy, can you move a little bit that way, please?
02:22Not only that,
02:23almost every team have got an entirely new line-up.
02:26That's a massive change.
02:27Lewis, can you shuffle slightly to your right?
02:29Yeah, that's nice.
02:30Three, two, one.
02:33And the question in everyone's lips is how will Lewis do?
02:35Stop talking to me while I'm in the frickin' battle, man.
02:38Jeez.
02:39Fucking hell.
02:42All this young driver is more emotional.
02:44You can only fuck me over so many fucking times.
02:47Gimme, are you okay?
02:48I was crying.
02:49Sometimes you want the stick and beat everybody in the head.
02:53Look at him.
02:54Yeah, but...
02:55In a season of new beginnings,
02:58who will survive the chaos?
03:00It's like a pool full of sharks.
03:05Fucking hell!
03:06Oh, for fuck's sake.
03:10Oh, my God.
03:12Clear for takeoff.
03:14Here we go.
03:15Oh, well, that's amazing.
03:17Kind of.
03:18It's very exciting meeting new spokespeople.
03:20Especially cute ones.
03:24Some will rise.
03:26Some will rise.
03:26We kick the run!
03:28Some will fall.
03:30Fuck!
03:31One of the most brutal driver switches in history.
03:35There are people who are willing to do anything.
03:37They're trying to get Horner out.
03:39It's in times of adversity you see who your enemies are.
03:43I won't roll over.
03:46And when the dust settles,
03:48will a new king sit on the throne?
03:51You are free to rate him.
03:53Max, he's like that bad guy in that horror movie.
03:56He keeps coming back.
03:57I hope you're ready.
03:58It's gonna be a bumpy ride.
04:03The battery's dead.
04:31Oh.
04:34Keep it level please, no need for any of that stuff.
04:39Oh no, not a fan of this, not a fan at all.
04:46What have you put in here?
04:49Truth serum.
04:542025, here we come.
04:58We're back.
05:01I think we're the longest standing driver line-up on the grid now.
05:06Who's had the best results together?
05:09We did.
05:11Makaran are world champions.
05:14For fire and some.
05:17What do you think?
05:19Yeah!
05:21You're not the one to beat.
05:23Not the one to beat.
05:26This year, let's do it again.
05:31Formula One is celebrating its 75th anniversary.
05:35For the first time in history,
05:37every Formula One team will launch their car,
05:40introduce their drivers in the same place.
05:43It'll be really interesting,
05:44because F1 teams love to one-up each other.
05:49Oh, look, there's Alpine on the river.
05:52Where?
05:53Right below us.
05:55Their budget will probably only come in rowing.
05:59Yeah.
06:00Heading to the O2, baby.
06:01Yeah.
06:04Chopper?
06:06Chasing us.
06:09Woo!
06:10Come on, come on. Faster, faster.
06:13Floor in.
06:16So, you've got the big seat now.
06:21I'm looking forward to the O2.
06:23I know that at one point we're going to be on stage,
06:25but I think it's going to be pretty cool,
06:26and it's awesome to be a part of my first year.
06:31What's that big tower or, like, pyramid-looking thing?
06:34The shard.
06:36So, if you go for a fart, but you actually poop yourself?
06:39Shard.
06:40Ah, shard.
06:45Um, anyone know where the O2 is?
06:50Have you been on the underground before?
06:52No.
06:53Super efficient.
06:55That's how we roll.
06:59All righty.
07:00What are you doing?
07:02I think I've looked better, to be honest.
07:03I've just woken up.
07:04We need to go here.
07:06Yeah.
07:06All right, let's go.
07:07Vamos.
07:09Everything's changed this season,
07:10because I've now got, you know,
07:11an 18-year-old as my teammate, Kimi.
07:15Are these cameras with you?
07:17Look.
07:22Yeah.
07:22You need to hold on, mate.
07:23You've definitely not been on the tube at all.
07:26It's like having a new baby brother.
07:28I still can't believe he was born in 2006.
07:31Like, anyone born in the 2000s,
07:33I see as, like, eight years old.
07:36All right, we're jumping out here.
07:38All right.
07:40Watch out, mate.
07:41Fucking yeah.
07:44They're all like Verstappen.
07:45They just, like, fucking smash you off.
07:47George, a good tour guide.
07:50He knows the place very well.
07:53The rule in England,
07:55to stand on the right,
07:56and you walk on the left.
07:57Yeah?
07:57Yeah, he says on the signs.
07:59F1 branded everywhere.
08:01Oh, there he is.
08:02Nando.
08:03He's back.
08:06Please welcome your host for F175 Live,
08:12Mr. Jack Whitehall!
08:15Good evening, London!
08:17You know your sport is ridiculously minted
08:20when you book the O2 for an event
08:22to announce the colour of a load of cars
08:24that are all exactly the same as last season.
08:29I'm kind of excited to see what everyone has done, though.
08:32It's like a...
08:32Yeah.
08:33It feels like X Factor.
08:34Yeah.
08:34As you know.
08:39Time to walk, please.
08:43Watch your back, Tire.
08:45Watch your back.
08:46So Lewis Hamilton coming through,
08:48watch out, guys.
08:49Watch your back, guys.
08:50Ferrari coming through.
08:51They're the big dogs.
08:52He's going to do a dance, he was saying.
08:54Oh, really?
08:55It could be interesting.
08:56I want to see it.
08:59You had a good break?
09:00Yeah, yeah.
09:01It's been really, really good.
09:01But it's short?
09:02Yeah.
09:03You got a kid coming, man.
09:04Yes.
09:05You excited?
09:05Yeah.
09:06Nervous, though?
09:08Uh, well...
09:08Anything is going to be fun.
09:09You have to be at the end.
09:10You have to watch it for now.
09:12Wow, I'm not sure.
09:13Maybe...
09:13Maybe from...
09:14Maybe from that side.
09:16Yeah, I think I'll do the same.
09:18I was dating a girl,
09:19and her sister was having a kid,
09:20and I was there outside the operating room,
09:22so I could hear them screaming.
09:23Oh, dear.
09:24I nearly passed out.
09:25And it wasn't even my kid.
09:28Ah, here we are.
09:30Missed it.
09:32Yes.
09:36Well, it kind of felt like the first day of school.
09:38I mean, did you hair dry that, or what?
09:41No.
09:41It just stays like that.
09:42Well, I put product in it.
09:43Okay, okay.
09:44A little bit of bleach?
09:45I got a perm.
09:46Perm?
09:47Really?
09:48Especially this year,
09:50because at school normally you always get to know new kids.
09:53Have a good winter.
09:55Yeah.
09:56We have six rookies starting a season at the same time.
10:02We haven't seen this for 15 years.
10:06It could be utter carnage.
10:12Should I put the team here?
10:15What's the name of the team?
10:17It's on your shirt.
10:23Good evening.
10:24Stake F1 team kicks over!
10:26Yeah!
10:27Gabi, it's barking to the mic now.
10:33That squeaky one.
10:36I was ready, that one.
10:42Sauber has Gabriel Bortoletto, 20 years old, from Brazil, Formula 3 champion.
10:49Formula 2 champion.
10:50And definitely one to watch.
10:53Gabriel, your first season in Formula 1.
10:56It's amazing to see all this crowd.
11:01Oh.
11:03That's us.
11:04I'll be doing something now.
11:07Let me hear it for Isaac real quick!
11:10When we look at what the Racing Bulls are doing this year, signing up.
11:14Isaac Hadjar, really impressive in his junior career, and has always shown an incredible burst of pace.
11:21At the moment, I still don't have a clue how I'm going to perform.
11:26See you on the track!
11:28Good night, London!
11:30Relaxed, it's quite chilled.
11:33Jack Doohan, from Australia, didn't win the title in Formula 3 or Formula 2.
11:40But he's the first Alpine Academy driver to be promoted to a Formula 1 seat.
11:45Jack, first time F1 driver. How does that feel?
11:48Yeah, it feels amazing.
11:50Just want to say good evening and thank you all so much for coming.
11:52It's what I've dreamt of all my life.
11:55So to be finally doing it, living it, it's a great feeling.
12:00You think we can take it on stage?
12:03But it's not even warming you up me.
12:05Do you want me to hold it?
12:06No, it's warming my face.
12:07I'll try and put on a brave face, but I am a bit nervous to go out in front of
12:11that many people.
12:13You have ten seconds.
12:16Oli Behrman, 19 years old, from Great Britain.
12:20He's part of the Ferrari Driver Academy, highly regarded, and looking to prove himself this year driving for Haas.
12:30The car looks fast. Hopefully it's good looking.
12:34As fast as it looks.
12:36For the rookies, the first year is brutal.
12:40It's scary.
12:41So if you cannot deal with the truth, it's not your place.
12:48It's a lot different, the car.
12:50It's a big difference.
12:52Really?
12:52It's a different car.
12:53All the steering is a lot lacking.
12:55And it's like the Italian accent.
12:58So it's like, you know...
12:59You know, having all the other drivers, and some of my heroes as well,
13:03it's quite surreal because I've been always used to see them on TV.
13:11It is now time to introduce a very special moment for a very special team.
13:24Oh my god.
13:25It's red.
13:26I was gonna say the same thing.
13:30It's like someone spilled some fucking yogurt over him.
13:35This is it.
13:37The moment we've all been waiting for.
13:40The reveal.
13:50It's the GOAT.
13:56The GOAT.
14:01How you doing London?
14:04We good?
14:06Charles, what would be your WIDE for the season?
14:09If I have to choose one word, I was going to say FULFILLMENT.
14:15FULFILLMENT?
14:15There's no way he's come up with that on his own.
14:17Someone just told him to say that.
14:19It was going over in his head before it came out.
14:21Please, again, make some noise for Fred, Charles, and Lewis!
14:28Lewis moving to Ferrari was the key that unlocked the door to the mayhem of silly season
14:35and all of the driver moves that we saw for 2025.
14:39This year will be good for everyone.
14:41It needs to be a good fight.
14:43We're ready for you.
14:44We're ready for you.
14:44George takes off.
14:44We're ready for us.
14:46All ready?
14:51It's not even ready, guys.
14:53Mate, you want to watch one?
14:55Of course there are question marks for Mercedes.
14:59Replacing Lewis Hamilton with a school kid.
15:04You know?
15:07It's going to be fun.
15:08Man, I'm freezing.
15:10Welcome to England, mate.
15:11Lewis stepping out means new opportunities.
15:14Now we can put someone in the car that has the real potential in becoming a great one to fight
15:22the McLaren for championships.
15:24Man, I'm not used to this, eh?
15:26Exciting stuff.
15:28Let's do it.
15:31I need to do a kind of warm-up, you know?
15:33Pre-session warm-up.
15:35I'm very, very nervous.
15:36I'm quite a shy person.
15:38And there are going to be a lot of people.
15:44Kimi Antonelli, Italian, young driver on Mercedes-Burx.
15:54Definitely is a lot to get used to.
15:57It's incredible to see so many of you here tonight.
16:02Yeah, I mean, it's a privilege to be where I am today.
16:06Mercedes decided to skip him past Formula 3 and straight into Formula 2
16:12and brought him into Formula 1 at the first possible opportunity.
16:17Is it too much too soon?
16:26Liam Lawson is technically still a rookie because he has not raced a full season.
16:31He does have more experience than his fellow rookies,
16:36but the expectations on him from Christian Horner and Red Bull are extraordinary.
16:44How are we going?
16:45Very good.
16:48All right.
16:50I'm always ready for a fight.
16:53Losing in the Constructors' Championship...
16:55One more for luck.
16:56That hurts.
16:58Let's go, Red Bull!
17:00You all right?
17:02Well done.
17:03Max won the Drivers' World Championship last year.
17:06But the one that means the most to the teams is the Constructors' Championship
17:10because that is how the money is distributed in Formula 1.
17:14But last season...
17:17We're out, Checo.
17:19Our second driver, Checo, is formed. Just nosedive.
17:23If we keep going like this, we're fun.
17:25All right.
17:26You know, we can't just be a one-car team.
17:28We need both cars up there scoring points.
17:32So when the doors open, we just... we just... the car goes and we walk with you.
17:37Yeah.
17:37And then you're going to tap us and we're going to walk to the...
17:39Yes, straight.
17:39Okay.
17:40And the people behind us, or we just be dancing and going crazy?
17:42Okay.
17:43I mean, if you want to dance as well, I mean...
17:46Liam, go for it.
17:47Go for it.
17:48If you're matching Mike Moorman, you know?
17:54Oh!
17:55Oh, shit. I didn't mean to do that.
18:00You are supposed to do that, though.
18:01Liam Lawson, driver for Oracle Rib Racing.
18:07Okay, Liam.
18:08It's looking good.
18:10Liam, when he got the opportunity last year in our junior stable, the Racing Bulls,
18:15he grabbed it and I was very impressed with that.
18:18Lawson, 0.55.
18:20So, Perry's just ahead of you.
18:22Copy.
18:24Yeah, fuck it.
18:26I think Liam Lawson just gave Perry the finger.
18:29Liam's got that racing DNA, that racing spirit that sets us apart
18:33from our competitors.
18:35He's the man.
18:42McLaren are the team to beat this year.
18:44But don't underestimate the opposition.
18:47Hold on a second. Red Bull is up now?
18:49Yeah.
18:50Where's Christian?
18:51Isn't Christian with us?
18:52No, he's basically doing his speech at the intro.
18:56Please welcome...
18:59Christian Horner!
19:14Well, it's fantastic to be here in the O2 anyway, so I hope you're all having a good evening.
19:25Red Bull!
19:27...of Max winning his fourth consecutive World Championship.
19:34When you become a serial winner, the crowd and the audience, they don't want to see that.
19:40In Formula One, there's this element of pantomime.
19:44You know, we're now like the Kardashians on wheels.
19:46But I'm way past even caring what other people think.
19:52I think we're going to get a lot of booze.
19:55No, you know.
19:57I don't give a fuck, yeah.
20:00So is somebody going to show us the way?
20:06To go up there and then come sit down next to your team, your sponsors, that I'd be pretty uncomfortable.
20:14It didn't help that he went up there on stage, like, I'm going to rock the room, and then the
20:20room rocked him.
20:23It's like you have to be the pantomime villain, though.
20:26You know, in the pantomime you have the villain and the...
20:32It feels good.
20:42We are different, and that's what makes us who we are.
20:48This isn't a popularity contest, it's Formula One.
20:51And you're judged on the result sheet at the end of the day.
20:55It's easier to be the hunter rather than the hunted.
20:59And, of course, for us, anything outside of total domination, you know, is not good enough.
21:07All the pre-season chatter.
21:10It stops now.
21:12The beginning of the Formula One World Championship here in Australia.
21:18Round one of 24.
21:25Holy...
21:27Let's go!
21:29London, London!
21:31Hi!
21:32It's quite high numbers.
21:34First Grand Prix this year is returning back to the hometown of Oscar Piastri.
21:41What a beautiful day.
21:44And, of course, as a driver, I'm here to kind of go out and do my own thing.
21:51I want to win.
21:53Passes again.
21:57I don't have it.
21:59He hasn't got his pass on him.
22:02He should be able to go in.
22:05He's got to drive the car.
22:07But he's the F1 driver.
22:11I reckon Oscar tried to set that up.
22:13He was like...
22:14Sandra!
22:15Sandra!
22:18Sandra!
22:19Sandra!
22:21Sandra!
22:24Sandra!
22:25Sandra!
22:26Sandra!
22:26Sandra!
22:26Sandra!
22:30It's a fresh start for all of us.
22:32You know, we've got different teams with different drivers.
22:37So it's like a different dynamic.
22:40And you don't know what to expect.
22:44It's fun to have something new.
22:47I've done it many times.
22:48I've changed teams five times.
22:50Oh, shoot. Yeah.
22:52Five times?
22:54It's only my second time.
22:56It keeps reminding me how that happens.
22:58Yeah. You got it.
22:59Catch the air, man.
23:13Qualifying is absolutely key because it sets the grid for the race on Sunday.
23:17The fastest driver in qualifying takes pole position, which means they start from the front of the field for the
23:23race itself.
23:25The stopwatch doesn't lie.
23:28It's time to show everyone what you've got.
23:31Now I'm in Formula One.
23:33I will be judged only by my performance.
23:36Oh, it's the real deal.
23:39Let's not forget the gamble that the teams have taken on these rookies.
23:43The pressure on these kids from the very first moment is so vast.
23:52My main goal is to be fast.
23:55I don't want to disappoint my team.
23:57Young drivers, yeah, they get time on the simulator, but they don't get real-world, real-time in the car.
24:03They're not testing in between races like we used to do 15, 20 years ago.
24:08Ready to check.
24:09That is good.
24:11The pressure is, of course, very high.
24:13Everything that you've done prior to that is kind of forgotten.
24:17I have nerves, for sure.
24:20I have that feeling that, you know, I need to perform.
24:29First qualified of the year, I always have nerves.
24:33Ready to go.
24:34Red Bull, they're used to winning, they've done a lot of it.
24:38But Liam is very inexperienced in Formula One, and Lando and Oscar are very hungry.
24:49Going into qualifying, it's crucial to get a good start, to put the pressure on McLaren to say,
24:55Look, you're not going to have it all your own way.
24:58With Liam, in terms of race experience, he probably had more than other rookies coming in this year.
25:06Toto has invested in a, you know, 18-year-old.
25:09It's a big ask on that kid.
25:12Mercedes without Lewis Hamilton could be pretty bland.
25:16Kimi, he's just natural, you know.
25:18They will continue to develop.
25:21I'm really excited to see Kimi on his first laps of his Formula One career.
25:28Now it's time to prove that investing in him was the right thing to do.
25:35Okay, Kimi.
25:3715 seconds to bring luck.
25:56My dad and my mom, they've been the two closest person to me.
26:04My family, they're really supportive.
26:07And that's why I want to really make sure that I make the best out of it.
26:11Mi raccomando.
26:12Estoy atento.
26:14Ciao, mamma.
26:15Ciao.
26:19Because I'm very young, I have a lot to show and a lot to prove.
26:25Okay, Kimi.
26:26So, it's all clear.
26:27I think good to go.
26:35So, they're all clear behind them.
26:48So, they need to pick up the pace.
26:51They need to push a little harder than expected.
26:56And just be careful.
27:03Just stick as close to the Gouda track position as you can.
27:10Pick up the pace.
27:19I just dropped P16.
27:21And we'll box box.
27:25We could have done better on that one.
27:31Alright, let's push.
27:39What a shame.
27:41Difficult start for the rookies.
27:44Ah, no, no, no.
27:46I don't want to give up.
27:48None of them into the top 10 so far.
27:53Next, Liam Lawson in the Red Bull.
27:58I'm excited.
27:59My whole life.
28:00It's been my dream to be a Ribble Racing Formula 1 driveway.
28:06This journey's properly started.
28:10I've got to make the most of this opportunity.
28:13You know, a new season is a new dawn.
28:16There's an anticipation and excitement to get back on top.
28:24Keep pushing.
28:24Keep pushing.
28:25You do what you need to do.
28:37Okay, I went wide, but I'm okay.
28:43Bucks.
28:44Bucks.
28:45That's it for Liam Lawson.
28:46He'll start at the back.
28:50What's that about, please?
28:51Yeah, I'll drop the boys off.
28:55This is Lewis Hamilton into turn 11.
29:09I don't know what happened there, mate.
29:12Yeah.
29:12Top one.
29:17It's Lando Norris who takes the opening poll of the year.
29:21Amazing work.
29:22Let's keep it up, baby.
29:24Then it's Oscar Piastri.
29:26Uh, yeah.
29:26I think that.
29:27And it's an all-papyre front row.
29:29Two to start the year.
29:31The world champion team on top.
29:35This is so much fun.
29:45Well done.
29:46All right.
29:47Time to break some hands.
29:58From my years being teammates with Lewis, when things are all aligned for him, I mean, he's unbelievable.
30:04And now he's left Mercedes, people thought and expected he would be the one to do something special.
30:11His performance today, I don't think it's anything that he or the team would have hoped for.
30:21It's definitely been a challenge.
30:23It's been a lot of work to really adapt to this car.
30:28Um, so we pull out to you.
30:33That was a bit of a fucking rough one, wasn't it?
30:36He started well, but then faded.
30:40To qualify on the back row, you know, it's not what is expected of a Red Bull racing driver.
30:47Well, Liam, regardless of experience levels, it's down to him to deliver.
30:51In Formula One, you've got nowhere to hide.
31:01You all right?
31:02Yeah, I was just done.
31:04Hi, Liam.
31:05How hard is it for you to find some positives right now?
31:07Uh, it's definitely tricky.
31:09I just made a mistake.
31:10And, uh, that basically screwed up everything.
31:13So, um, obviously not a good start, but I shouldn't be making mistakes either.
31:19I just fucking went off.
31:22Liam has got his work cut out demonstrating that he deserves that second seat,
31:28because if he can't deliver, even in that first race,
31:33Red Bull are not going to be cutting him a whole lot of slack.
31:40Hey, uh, it was fine until I went off.
31:49Uh, I'm quite disappointed.
31:52I'm getting quite harsh on myself.
31:55You know, it's not the way I wanted to start my Formula One career.
31:58Yeah, Kimi.
32:01Don't worry, don't worry.
32:02It's gonna be better.
32:03Of course, disappointed with the result, um...
32:06Yeah, no, no, no.
32:07Kimi's qualifying was my difficult one.
32:10We just need to protect Kimi.
32:12Taking pressure off, lowering the expectations,
32:17so he can focus entirely on performance.
32:20We're gonna put our arm around him,
32:22make sure that Sunday goes better.
32:32Who is there?
32:33Mark.
32:34Did you rest well?
32:36Yeah, I did.
32:38Nice.
32:39And, uh, how are you feeling?
32:42Uh, I would say I've been struggling,
32:45uh, you know, to find my rhythm.
32:51But, uh, it felt like nothing was coming together.
32:55And, uh, also I started to put a bit of extra pressure on myself
33:00and, uh, you know, just driving super tense in the car
33:03and not delivering, so it hasn't been easy.
33:08I think it was tough, but, uh, we need to keep that mindset
33:12of learning and growing and maturing,
33:14remaining curious, asking questions,
33:17trying to learn all the details.
33:20I've been for the first time last year in F2.
33:23I've been for the first time last year in F2.
33:23And, uh, now I find myself already in, in Formula 1,
33:26which I didn't expect to get here so, so quickly.
33:31I'm realising that it's all real.
33:33To be honest, it's a tough one.
33:36It's been more stressful than what I was thinking.
33:43I really want to keep my seat for a long time.
33:46I know I cannot afford any, you know, mistakes.
33:57Today, a shift in weather is on the way for Melbourne.
34:02Severe thunderstorms developing, heavy rain, damaging gusty winds,
34:06and will promote very, very dangerous conditions
34:08as a cold front moves through.
34:15It's very sketchy.
34:17There's a storm coming, and the time is now
34:20for the opening race of the year.
34:35Windy, yeah.
34:38If one of us has a crash, this is them.
34:42We go at crazy speeds, and when you hit the brakes,
34:45it's just very difficult to manage in an F1 car
34:48in those conditions.
34:50I feel for the rookies, isn't it?
34:52It's a street track.
34:53The grip's going to be extremely low.
34:55Visibility's going to be low.
34:57A good start to your Formula 1 rookie season.
35:01I think it'll be so slippery here in the way.
35:04Me, I did 420 Grand Prix starts,
35:08and you still have the stress.
35:09You're driving a 300-kilometre-hour car,
35:12and with another 19 drivers, you know, one metre apart,
35:15and if you're a rookie, you have this for the first time.
35:32It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood.
35:35No.
35:38I think every driver wants to win their home race.
35:40If I had to pick one on the calendar, yes, Melbourne would be it.
35:54I feel a bit afraid going into my first Grand Prix,
35:59because sometimes unexpected things can happen.
36:03You don't want to just lose control.
36:08I don't think it's about how quick you are today.
36:10It's about how smart you are.
36:12You're going to get lucky or unlucky.
36:13With Liam, it's important for him to bounce back quickly.
36:17I'm not giving up on this one yet.
36:21Fifteen years ago,
36:22the last time we started a race on wet-weather tyres here.
36:30It's going to be a tough race.
36:32You're doing a crash.
36:37You know, it isn't easy, just constantly thinking about what's about to happen.
36:51It is time for the formation lap.
36:55Before the race starts,
36:56they'll be looking at the extent of the pretty treacherous track conditions.
36:59No, no.
37:01They're declaring track slippery.
37:03Yeah, team!
37:05The rain is a nightmare.
37:07Okay, that's how we try to warm up the tyres.
37:09I'm stressed about not leaving up to the expectations.
37:14I'm scared not to deliver and let down everyone.
37:19It's quite wet.
37:21Keep it steady.
37:22Okay.
37:32Can we get going?
37:34No.
37:38Isaac Hajar out before we even get going.
37:42That is absolutely brutal.
37:48The walk of shame.
37:50I feel like my career,
37:52now it's over for me
37:53before it even started.
37:58Okay, Kimi.
38:00Ready for a start.
38:01Kimi Antonelli makes his debut 16th on the grid.
38:04There's quite a lot of emotion.
38:07It's my first time driving around another 19 cars in F1,
38:11and it's super sleepy out there.
38:14With those wild lines, cold tyres, it's scary.
38:18You could end badly.
38:20That's crazy.
38:21Hamilton begins life at Ferrari in eighth.
38:25Okay, Liam.
38:26Free start.
38:27Copy.
38:29Liam Lawson will be starting in 18th from the pit lane.
38:33A little bit nervous.
38:36The goal is to have a strong race,
38:39but it's going to be extremely tough.
38:42It's hard to come through from the back.
39:02P2, Max.
39:03Good job.
39:04Yep.
39:05Keep it going.
39:08Still pretty tricky in terms of visibility.
39:26Jack Doohan.
39:28The rookie into the wall on the opening lap.
39:32Jack, are you okay?
39:35Yep, I'm okay.
39:43Okay, let's go.
39:44Fucking hell.
39:45Oh, shit, he's in the wall.
39:47It's not just the rookies.
39:52What position am I now?
39:54V8.
39:56I'm slow.
39:57This is pretty effective.
40:01Just be careful that the car's off already.
40:04Yeah, they're quite slippery.
40:06Just look for the wet patches where you can.
40:10You get this butterfly effect in the storm walk.
40:14I'm not going to lie.
40:16Taking a bit more risk just to try and find the limit.
40:27Come on.
40:33Oh, man.
40:35That was close.
40:37Just be careful.
40:40Carhead.
40:41Holkenberg.
40:43Let me know when it comes from the back.
40:46Everyone makes mistakes.
40:47I have to reset.
40:49Focus.
40:50Okay, Kimmy.
40:52That's good.
40:53We are really slow in the straights.
40:59A tidy pass for Attenelli.
41:02He's moved up to 12th position.
41:05Nice one, Kimmy.
41:06I like that.
41:15It feels like the wind is picking up.
41:17The rain could get pretty intense.
41:29You okay, Fernando?
41:31Yeah.
41:33Let's go.
41:35Let's go.
41:36The latest is more rain.
41:37Building up.
41:39Stand up.
41:40Far ahead.
41:41Coming.
41:42The heavy point six behind.
41:44It's raining again.
41:49Yeah.
41:50My tires are fucked.
41:52Good job.
41:57Lando, Oscar is now behind you.
42:00Yeah.
42:01Fifteen laps to go here.
42:03McLaren currently set to take maximum points.
42:09Oscar is 0.7 behind you.
42:14I hit a bit of that.
42:16I'm fucked.
42:23Gap still 0.7.
42:26Yeah.
42:31I'm off.
42:35Pete Astrid going into the gravel.
42:38They're both off. Off go the McLareys.
42:42Norris stays in the lead.
42:50Pete, no max.
42:53Oscar, update on condition.
42:56Oscar, if you can get going, then pin.
42:59Oscar Piastri could be out of his home Grand Prix.
43:08And my box, box.
43:11Coffee box.
43:20People on their slicks are struggling.
43:22Fade, my break!
43:26Gabriel Bortoletto into the wall!
43:28Sorry, I crashed my break for you.
43:31Okay.
43:35You're currently key seven.
43:36Currently key seven.
43:38Lawson's now in the points.
43:40Having started way down in 18th place.
43:43Yeah, this is very weird.
43:44You want to try and survive it?
43:47Yes.
43:49I know that I have this very brief moment to prove myself.
43:52It definitely feels like, you know, that time is right now.
44:17I'm on the wall, mate.
44:20Can you pull it away?
44:22Yeah, but, uh...
44:24Sorry.
44:33Sorry, guys.
44:36Unfortunately for Liam,
44:39he makes mistakes under pressure.
44:43You know, he's quite simply not good enough.
44:49Can we send a car ahead, Albo?
44:52Copy.
44:54Now, I'm really feeling good with the car,
44:56and I'm realizing that anything is possible.
45:01And I just want to get more of this feeling.
45:04And it's not over yet.
45:06I have to go for it.
45:08You have to head point five.
45:10You do have overtake available.
45:12Keep pushing.
45:19Yes, mate. Nice job.
45:23Unbelievable from Kimi Antonelli for fourth place.
45:31Back in nine again.
45:32Yeah, P9.
45:35Behind you, you've got Charles.
45:51Hamilton, 0.6 behind.
45:55Lewis Hamilton having a tough weekend.
45:58Lewis Hamilton having a tough weekend.
46:08Gap ahead, 0.9.
46:11Okay.
46:12Yeah, something's off with my steering.
46:15Yeah, I'm done.
46:15Let's focus.
46:17Okay, final balance.
46:190.6.
46:20Yeah, okay.
46:25The pace is in the car.
46:27Do not ever push it.
46:29Norris has a couple of corners to go.
46:41The Australian Grand Prix is going to be win number one in 2025 for Lando Norris.
46:50What up, mate.
46:51What up.
46:53He won.
46:54Great job.
46:57What up, boys.
46:58Beautifully handled.
46:59Amazing way to start the year.
47:01Thank you so much.
47:04George Russell comes home to finish on the podium ahead of his teammate.
47:09Amazing debut for Antonelli in fourth position.
47:13Wow, what a race.
47:14Mega job today, mate.
47:17Not bad for your first go.
47:19And yeah, some of those overtakes were pretty sweet.
47:22Thanks, everyone.
47:23It was a good weekend.
47:27Big time?
47:29Yeah.
47:30It was great, but we keep pushing.
47:40Wow, man, I'm shaking here.
47:41Good time.
47:42Good time.
47:43I was sending it.
47:44We said it would be very good.
47:45Yeah, yeah.
47:46Redemption.
47:47Yeah, exactly.
47:50To finish fourth place from P16 is a dream come through.
47:58And with my family there, it's a special moment to share.
48:02You need to stay away from the grass.
48:07He was one of the only rookies that survived in the wet.
48:10First ever race in Formula One and finishing before.
48:14That's something we can be very happy about.
48:16George Russell!
48:21And finishing one place behind George P3 is a very, very solid result for the team.
48:32I'm very much looking forward to trying to get to the same level as George.
48:36And I'll see my first podium.
48:40After all the question marks, for Mercedes to be level on points with McLaren,
48:45you'd actually probably argue Mercedes come out of Melbourne as, you know, the team that took the biggest win.
48:50Because it was so beyond, I think, even their expectations.
48:56But already, it's just going horribly for Liam Lawson over at Red Bull.
49:03How are you feeling?
49:05Uh, yeah, it's just a really tough weekend.
49:09Um, we struggled.
49:11You know, Liam, he needs to show that, right, I deserve this seat.
49:16This is why they've chose me, this is what I'm capable of,
49:19and that's going to be enormously important for him to try and build momentum
49:22and go and attack the next race.
49:28Did something happen?
49:30Leave this fucking steering wheel.
49:32Straight.
49:33Problem is a tool. I decide what they're doing. I decide.
49:37You've only fucked me over so many fucking times.
49:41Finito.
49:41One of the most brutal driver switches in history.
49:46I just didn't have enough time.
49:48People get used and played.
49:50I never imagined to be in this position.
49:53It wasn't my choice.
49:55He's totally lost.
49:59Not one of the most possiamo.
50:00That was not one of them.
50:02First, check on ossuary.
50:02The ethnicity of
50:03OK.
50:14We're fighting.
50:17Please be again.
50:18We're fighting.
50:18Let's fight.
50:19We are fighting.
50:30you
50:56you
51:26you
