00:22Lewis Hamilton has left Mercedes to go to Ferrari
00:30He's been the backbone of Mercedes, they won six world championships
00:33Lewis Hamilton wins the British Grand Prix
00:37He's the GOAT, he's Lewis Hamilton
00:45The question is, how do you replace the most successful driver that this sport has ever known?
01:04Hello, Mom
01:04Hello
01:06How are you?
01:07How are you?
01:08How are you?
01:08How are you doing?
01:09Well, well, well, well, well
01:10Perfect
01:12Androchi Ventonelli, F1 driver for 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
01:24Lewis 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
01:48I can drive myself
01:51At the speed limit
01:52Which is hard
01:53I mean, man, going at 30 kph is boring
01:58Where are you laughing at?
02:02It feels mega
02:04Oh my god
02:08This year, you've got six rookies in the field
02:16Anything can happen
02:17Okay, everyone, I'm gonna pose you individually if 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
02:30Two
02:31One
02:32And the question in everyone's lips is how will Lewis do?
02:35Stop talking to me while I'm in the frickin' battle, man
02:37Jeez
02:39Fucking hell
02:42All this young driver
02:43Is more emotional
02:44You can only fuck me over so many fucking times
02:46Gimme, 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...
02:54Mwah
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
03:11Clear for takeoff
03:13Here we go
03:15Oh, well, that's amazing
03:17Kind of
03:17It's very exciting meeting these folks people
03:20Especially cute ones
03:24Some will rise
03:26We
03:26Hit
03:27The run
03:28Some will fall
03:29Back
03:31One of the most brutal driver switches in history
03:34There are people who are willing to do anything
03:37They're trying to get Horner out
03:39It's in times of adversity
03:41You 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?
03:50You are free to race
03:52Max, 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
04:04Ah
04:04Mhm
04:11Sounds
04:12He's gonna be out
04:12It's choose a bus
04:13Yeah
04:32He's gonna ride
04:33No
04:33And we're looking back
04:34Keep it level please. No need for any of that stuff.
04:40Oh 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.
05:13Woohoo! Papyronsome.
05:17What a biggest beat.
05:19Yeah!
05:21You're now the one to beat.
05:23Now they want 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.
05:55Fair budget.
05:55I've probably only come in rowing.
06:00Heading to the O2, baby.
06:04Chopper?
06:06Chasing us.
06:09Woo!
06:10Come on, come on.
06:11Faster, faster.
06:13Slow it.
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,
06:33or like pyramid-looking thing?
06:34The shard.
06:36So, if you go for a fart,
06:38but you actually poop yourself?
06:39Shard.
06:40Ah, shard.
06:46Anyone 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.
07:08Everything's changed this season,
07:10because I've now got, you know,
07:11an 18-year-old as my teammate, Kimmy.
07:15Are these cameras with you?
07:17Yeah.
07:22Yeah, you need to hold on, mate.
07:23You've definitely not been on the tube for that one.
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.
07:39Watch out, mate.
07:41Fucking hell.
07:44They're all like Verstappen.
07:45They just, like, fucking smash you off.
07:47George, a good tour guide.
07:50Why?
07:50He knows the place very well.
07:53The rule in England is to stand on the right
07:55and 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.
08:35Do you know?
08:39Total war, please.
08:43Watch your back, Tyler.
08:45Watch your back.
08:46It's Lewis Hamilton coming through.
08:48Watch out, guys.
08:49Watch your back, guys.
08:50Ferrari coming through.
08:51They're the big dogs.
08:52I was going to do a dance, you were saying.
08:54Oh, really?
08:55It could be interesting.
08:56I want to see it.
08:59You had a good break?
09:00Yeah, yeah, it's been really, really good.
09:01Well, it's short.
09:02Yeah.
09:03You got a kid coming, man.
09:04Yes.
09:05You excited?
09:05Yeah.
09:06Nervous, though?
09:08Well, I think it's going to be fun.
09:09You have to be at the end.
09:10You have to watch it from now.
09:12Wow, I'm not sure.
09:14Maybe from...
09:14Maybe from that side.
09:16Yeah, I think I'll be 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.
09:34Well, it kind of felt like the first day of school.
09:38I mean, did you hairdry that or what?
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 because at school,
09:50normally you always get to know new kids.
09:53Have a good winter.
09:55Yeah.
09:57We 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.
10:13Should I put the team here?
10:15What's the name of the team?
10:17It's on your shirt.
10:23Good evening, Stake F1 team kicks over!
10:27Debbie, it's barking to the mic now.
10:33A little squeaky one.
10:36He was ready, that one.
10:37He was ready, that one.
10:42Sauber has Gabriel Bortoleta.
10:4520 years old, from Brazil.
10:47Formula 3 champion.
10:49Formula 2 champion.
10:51Definitely one to watch.
10:53Gabriel, your first season in Formula 1.
10:56It's amazing to see all this crowd.
11:01Ah.
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,
11:13signing up, Isaac Hadjar, really impressive in his junior career
11:17and 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, legend!
11:30Relaxed. It's quite chilled.
11:33Jack Doohan, from Australia,
11:36didn't win the title in Formula 3 or Formula 2,
11:40but he's the first Alpine Academy driver
11:43to 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,
11:51and 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,
11:57it's a great feeling.
12:00Do you 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.
12:07Yeah? Okay.
12:07I'll try and put on a brave face,
12:09but I am a bit nervous to go out in front of that 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,
12:24and looking to prove himself this year driving for Haas.
12:30The car looks fast.
12:31Hopefully 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,
12:44it'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.
12:55And it's like the Italian accent.
12:58So it's like, you know...
12:59You know, having all the other drivers,
13:01and some of my heroes as well,
13:03it's quite surreal,
13:05because I've been always used to see them on TV.
13:11It is now time to introduce a very special moment
13:15for a very special team.
13:24Oh my God.
13:25It's red.
13:26I was going to say the same thing.
13:30Looks like someone spilled some fucking yogurt over him.
13:34This is it.
13:36The moment we've all been waiting for.
13:40The reveal.
13:41The reveal.
13:50It's the goat.
13:52The goat.
14:01How you doing London?
14:04We good?
14:06Charles, what would be your wife for the season?
14:09If I have to choose one word,
14:12I was going to say fulfillment.
14:15Fulfillment?
14:16Fulfillment?
14:16There's no way he's come up with that.
14:17Someone just told him to say that.
14:19He was going over in his head before he came out of it.
14:21Please, again, make some noise for Fred, Charles, and Lewis!
14:28Lewis moving to Ferrari was the key that unlocked the door
14:32to 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.
14:43Ready for you.
14:44Ready for us.
14:46Already?
14:51Not even ready, guys.
14:53It's my team.
14:53Mate, you want to watch on?
14:55Of course there are question marks for Mercedes.
14:59Replacing Lewis Hamilton with a school kid.
15:04You know?
15:06It's gonna be fun.
15:08I'm freezing.
15:09Welcome to England, mate.
15:12Lewis stepping out means new opportunities.
15:14Now we can put someone in the car that has the real potential
15:18in becoming a great one.
15:21To fight the McLaren for championships.
15:24Man, I'm not used to this, eh?
15:26Exciting stuff.
15:28Hold on.
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 gonna be a lot of people.
15:44Kimi Antonelli.
15:45Italian.
15:46Young driver.
15:48On 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.
16:07Mercedes decided to skip him past Formula 3
16:10and straight into Formula 2
16:12and brought him into Formula 1
16:13at the first possible opportunity.
16:17Is it too much too soon?
16:26Liam Lawson is technically still a rookie
16:29because he has not raced a full season.
16:32He does have more experience than his fellow rookies,
16:36but the expectations on him from Christian Horner
16:40and 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.
16:59Let's go, Red Bull!
17:03Max won the Drivers' World Championship last year.
17:06But the one that means the most to the teams
17:08is the Constructors' Championship
17:10because that is how the money is distributed in Formula 1.
17:13But last season...
17:17We're out, Checo.
17:19Our second driver, Checo, is formed.
17:22Just nosedive.
17:23If we keep going like this, we're far home.
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...
17:35The 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.
17:40And 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.
17:48It's your matching Mike moment, you know.
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,
18:14the Racing Bulls, he grabbed it and I was very impressed with that.
18:18Lawson, 0.55.
18:20So, Perry's just ahead of you.
18:22Go for it.
18:24Yeah, if I can...
18:26I think Liam Lawson just gave Perry's 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.
18:47One 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 to principal Christian Horner.
19:14Well, it's fantastic to be here in the O2 anyway.
19:17So, I hope you're all having a good evening.
19:25Red Bull!
19:27Max 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.
20:43We 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.
21:24Oh, boys.
21:27Let's go!
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.
22:01He hasn't got in.
22:02He should be able to go in.
22:05He's got to drive the car.
22:07But he's the F1 driver.
22:09Thank you. Thank you.
22:12All right, can Oscar try to set that up?
22:14Oscar!
22:14Oscar!
22:15Oscar!
22:16Oscar!
22:18Oscar!
22:19Oscar!
22:21Oscar!
22:23Oscar!
22:24Oscar!
22:29It's a fresh start for all of us, you know.
22:33We've got different teams with different drivers.
22:37So, it's like a different dynamic.
22:40And you don't know what to expect.
22:45It'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 tough that is.
22:58Yeah, you got it.
22:59Catch the arrow, 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, I will be judged only by my performance.
23:36Now 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.
23:47is so vast.
23:52My main goal is to be fast.
23:54I 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, but Liam is very inexperienced in Formula One,
24:42and Lando and Oscar are very hungry.
24:50Going into qualifying, it's crucial to get a good start, to put the pressure on McLaren to say, look, you're
24:56not going to have it all your own way.
24:58With Liam.
25:00With Liam, in terms of race experience, he probably had more than other rookies coming in this year.
25:05Toto has invested in an 18-year-old.
25:09It's a big ask on that kid.
25:12Mercedes without Lewis Hamilton could be pretty bland.
25:16Kimi, it's just natural, you know, that we 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 a great look.
25:40Andrea.
25:41Andrea, ready?
25:44Come on, sit down.
25:45I'm here.
25:49As a child, you're becoming a man.
25:53You'll always be my child.
25:55Yes, yes.
25:57My dad and my mom, they've been the two closest persons to me.
26:02Where are you from?
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.
26:11I recommend.
26:12Be careful.
26:14Bye, Mom.
26:15Bye.
26:19Because I'm very young, I have a lot to show and a lot to prove.
26:25Okay, Kimi's a circle.
26:26It's all clear.
26:27I think I did to go.
26:50so you need to pick up the pace
26:51you need to push a little harder than expected
26:56and just be careful
27:02just stick as close to the gouda track position as you can
27:10pick up the pace
27:19just dropped p16
27:22and we'll box box
27:25we could have done better on that one
27:31alright let's push
27:3714 for Jack Doohan
27:39what a shame
27:41difficult start for the rookies
27:44ah no no no
27:45none of them into the top 10 so far
27:53next Liam Lawson in the Red Bull
27:57I'm excited my whole life it's been my dream to be a Red Bull Racing Formula 1 driver
28:06this journey's properly started
28:10I've got to make the most of this opportunity
28:14you know a new season is a new dawn
28:16there's an anticipation and excitement
28:19to get back on top
28:24keep pushing, keep pushing
28:25you do what you need to do
28:37ok I went wide but I'm ok
28:40uh
28:41uh
28:43box box
28:45that's it for Liam Lawson
28:46he'll start at the back
28:49what's that help that piece
28:51yeah I'll drop boys
28:52ok
28:53watch for you ready
28:55this is Lewis Hamilton
28:56into turn 11
29:08I don't know what happened there mate
29:11yeah
29:12half one
29:16it's Lando Norris who takes the opening pole of the year
29:20amazing work
29:21let's keep it up baby
29:23then it's Oscar Piastri
29:25yeah
29:27and it's an all papaya front row to start the year
29:31the world champion team on top
29:34this is so much fun
29:45well done
29:47alright time to break some hands
29:58from my years being teammates with Lewis
30:00when things are all aligned for him
30:02I mean he's unbelievable
30:04and now he's left Mercedes
30:06people thought and expected he would be the one to do something special
30:11his performance today
30:13I 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
30:29so we pull out to you
30:30that was a bit of a fucking rough one wasn't it
30:35he started well but
30:38then faded
30:40to qualify on the back row
30:42you know it's not what is expected of a red bull racing driver
30:47well Liam regardless of experience levels
30:49it's down to him to deliver
30:50in Formula One you've got nowhere to hide
30:55come here
30:56you've got something in place
30:57yes
31:01you alright?
31:02yeah I was just done
31:02thank you
31:04hi Liam
31:05how hard is it for you to find some positives right now?
31:08uh
31:08it's definitely tricky
31:09I just made a mistake
31:10and uh
31:11that basically screwed up everything
31:13so um
31:13obviously not a good start
31:15but
31:15I shouldn't be making mistakes either
31:19I just fucking went off
31:22Liam
31:23Liam has got his work cut out
31:25demonstrating
31:26that he deserves
31:27that second seat
31:28because
31:29if he can't deliver
31:31even in that first race
31:33Red Bull are not going to be cutting him
31:35a whole lot of slack
31:41it was fine until I went off
31:49I'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
32:00don't worry, don't worry
32:02it's gonna be better
32:03of course
32:04disappointed with the result
32:06um
32:07Kimi's qualifying was a difficult one
32:10we just need to
32:10protect
32:11Kimi
32:12taking pressure off
32:14lowering the expectations
32:16so
32:17he can focus entirely on performance
32:19we'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
32:40how are you feeling?
32:42I would say
32:43I've been struggling
32:46you know
32:47to find my rhythm
32:51but
32:51it felt like nothing
32:53was coming together
32:55and
32:55also I started to put a bit of
32:58extra pressure on myself
33:00and
33:00you know just driving super tense
33:02in the car
33:03and
33:03not delivering
33:04so
33:05it hasn't been easy
33:08I think
33:09it was tough
33:10but
33:10we need to keep that mindset
33:12of learning and growing
33:13and maturing
33:14remaining curious
33:15asking questions
33:16trying to
33:18to learn all the details
33:20I've been for the first time
33:22last year
33:22in F2
33:23and
33:23now I find myself already
33:25in Formula One
33:26which
33:27I didn't expect to get here
33:29so
33:29so quickly
33:31I'm realising that
33:32it's all real
33:33to be honest
33:34it's a tough one
33:36it's been more stressful
33:38than
33:38what I was
33:39thinking
33:43I really want to keep my seat
33:45for a long time
33:46I know
33:47I cannot afford
33:48any
33:49you know
33:50mistakes
33:57today
33:58a shift in weather is on the way for Melbourne
34:01severe thunderstorms developing
34:03heavy rain
34:04damaging gusty winds
34:06and will promote very very dangerous conditions as a cold front moves through
34:13that's the story
34:14so we are not over
34:15it's very sketchy
34:17there's a storm coming
34:19and the time is now
34:20for the opening race of the year
34:42we go at crazy speeds and when you hit the brakes it's just very difficult to manage in an F1
34:48car in those conditions
34:50I feel for the rookies in it
34:52it's a street track
34:53the grip is going to be extremely low
34:55visibility is going to be low
34:57a good start to your Formula One rookie season
35:01I think it will be so slippery here in the way
35:04me I did 420 Grand Prix starts
35:08and still have the stress
35:09you are driving a 300 km hour car
35:12and with another 19 drivers
35:14you know one metre apart
35:15and if you are a rookie you have this for the first time
35:22you are speaking at me
35:23even in a straight line
35:25the car is like
35:26really
35:32it's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood
35:34stop it
35:35no
35:38I think every driver wants to win their home race
35:40because if I had to pick one on the calendar
35:42yes, Melbourne would be it
35:48Melbourne 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
36:14with Liam
36:14it's important for him to bounce back quickly
36:16I'm not giving up on this one yet
36:2115 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 this isn't easy
36:39just 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
37:01they're declaring track slippery
37:03KT
37:05the rain is a nightmare
37:06ok, is that 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 be
37:15not to deliver and let down everyone
37:18it's quite wet
37:21keep it steady
37:21keep it
37:32can you get going?
37:34no
37:38Isaac Hajar out before we even get going
37:41that is absolutely brutal
37:48the walk of shame
37:50I feel like my career
37:51now it's over for me
37:53before it even started
37:58ok, Kimi
37:59ready to start
38:00Kimi Antonelli makes his debut 16th on the grid
38:04there's quite a lot of emotion
38:07it's my first time driving around
38:09another 19 cars
38:10in F1
38:11and
38:12it's
38:12super sleepy out there
38:13with those wild lines
38:15cold tyres
38:16it's scary
38:17it could end badly
38:20that's crazy
38:21Hamilton begins life at Ferrari in 8th
38:25ok Liam
38:26pre-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
38:39it's going to be extremely tough
38:42it's hard to come through from the back
39:02P2 Max
39:03good job
39:04yep
39:04thank you
39:05keep it going
39:08still pretty tricky in terms of visibility
39:26Jack Doohan
39:28the rookie into the wall
39:29on the opening lap
39:31Jack Doohan
39:32Jack, are you ok?
39:35yep, I'm ok
39:36wish this home
39:39quatre
39:43fucking hell
39:44oh, she is in the war
39:47it's not just the rookies
39:52what position am I now?
39:54the 8th
39:56slow
39:57this is everything
40:01I think he needs to be careful out the cars off already
40:04Yeah, they're quite slippery.
40:06Just look for the white matches where you get them.
40:10You get this butterfly effect in the stomach.
40:14Not gonna lie.
40:16Taking a bit more risk just to try and find the limit.
40:28Fuck.
40:33Oh, man. That was close.
40:37Just be careful.
40:40Car ahead. Hulkenberg.
40:43Let me know when it comes from the back.
40:45Everyone makes mistakes. I have to reset, focus.
40:50Can I kill me? Let's go.
40:53We were really slow to speed.
40:59A tidy pass for Attenelli.
41:02He's moved up to 12th position.
41:05I saw him give it. I like that.
41:15Feels like the wind is picking up.
41:17The rain could get pretty intense.
41:29You okay, Fernando?
41:31Yeah.
41:35It's not so late as there's more rain building up.
41:39It's not looking far ahead.
41:41Copy.
41:42It has 3.6 behind.
41:44It's raining again.
41:49Yeah, my tires are fucked.
41:52Good job.
41:57Lando, Oscar is now behind you.
42:00Yeah.
42:0115 laps to go here.
42:03McLaren currently set to take maximum points.
42:09Oscar is 0.7 behind you.
42:13I get a bit of that.
42:16I'm fucked.
42:23Yeah, I'm still 0.7.
42:26Yeah.
42:31I'm fucked.
42:35Pete Astrid going into the gravel.
42:38They're both off.
42:39Off go the McLareys.
42:42Norris stays in the lead.
42:50Pete.
42:51No, thanks.
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.
43:08They make box, box.
43:11Off the box.
43:20People on their slings are just struggling.
43:22I made my break.
43:26Gabriel Bortoletto into the wall.
43:28Sorry, I crashed my break for you.
43:31Okay.
43:34I mean, you're currently key 7.
43:36Currently key 7.
43:38Lawson's now in the points.
43:40Having started way down in 18th place.
43:43Yeah, this is great, Wim.
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.
44:20I'm on the wall, mate.
44:23Yeah, but, uh, really, sorry.
44:33Sorry, guys.
44:36Unfortunately for Liam, he makes mistakes under pressure.
44:43You know, he's quite simply not good enough.
44:49Can we set a car ahead, Albo?
44:52Copy.
44:54Now, I'm really feeling good with the car, and 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 0.5.
45:10And you do have overtake available.
45:13Keep pushing.
45:19Yes, mate.
45:20Nice job.
45:24Unbelievable from Kimi Antonelli for 4th place.
45:31Back at 9 again.
45:32Yeah, P9.
45:35Behind you, you've got Charles.
45:51Hamilton 0.6 behind.
45:55Lewis Hamilton having a tough weekend.
46:08Gap ahead, 0.9.
46:10Gap ahead, 0.9.
46:11Okay.
46:12Yeah, something's off with my steering.
46:15Okay, Landon.
46:15Let's focus.
46:17Okay, final Mad Max.
46:180.6.
46:20Yeah, okay.
46:25Landon, the paces 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.
46:56What up, boys.
46:57Beautifully 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 4th 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.
47:24It was a good weekend.
47:27Big time?
47:28Yeah.
47:29It was great, but we keep pushing.
47:40Wow, man, I'm shaking here.
47:42Good time.
47:43I was sending it.
47:44We said it was in big.
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 rookie that survived in the wet.
48:10First ever racing Formula One in finishing before.
48:14That's something we can be very happy about.
48:16George McClaren!
48:21I'm finishing one place behind George P3.
48:24It 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,
48:48the 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 gonna be enormously important for him to try and build momentum
49:22and go and attack the next race.
49:28Did something happen?
49:30He gave this fucking steering ring.
49:32Straight.
49:33Programacy too.
49:35I decide what I'm doing. I decide.
49:37You can only fuck me over so many fucking times.
49:41Finito.
49:42One of the most brutal driver switches in history.
49:46I just didn't have enough time.
49:48People get used and played.
49:49I never imagined to be in this position.
49:53It wasn't my choice.
49:55He's totally lost.
49:58You're good.
50:24Probably a strange time.
50:24I don't miss you.
50:24I'm going with you.
50:25I'm going.
50:25I'll bring you back.
50:26I don't miss you.
50:28You
51:24You
51:54You
52:09You
