01:19racing laurent meckes new ceo and team principal of oracle rebel racing
01:27if you are in this job there is only one brief it's winning and that's what we'll be chasing this
01:34weekend you know max won before in 2023 but this year you could have pretty much four teams winning
01:42the race
01:50last year vegas was pretty good for us we finished first and second and we're pretty dominant
01:57and this year the goal is to win the game i think the favorites are mercedes and max as always
02:07that'll probably upset someone that i said that maybe for art
02:14we can't overtake
02:19we had a tough season but sometimes we are a bit unlucky
02:26vegas is a bit different with the show around the event but we are trying to stay focused on track
02:33activities
02:40this is a big race to win at a big time
02:43what zach's achieved with mclaren this season is very impressive but uh we'd like to beat him
02:51it's going to be a good showdown i'm excited
02:54we are friends but on track we are competitors we are fighting it's a battle between giants and
03:00nobody wants to lose

03:39so far so good three to go
03:40half the battle
03:41half the battle's done
03:46we've got two drivers that i think are very capable of winning the world championship
03:50yeah i didn't realize we were kind of taking over the whole restaurant
03:54they're both fiercely competitive
03:58they're going to be battling each other this weekend so watch this space
04:03because you have two great freaking drivers and obviously they both want to win so bad
04:10oscar and lando have just pushed like i think they're both better because of each other than if they had
04:15a weak teammate
04:16but there can only be one champion at the end so you know when one wins how the other one
04:22is going to feel
04:22you know like how will you guys handle that i can recognize when to talk to the driver and when
04:29not to i got to read the body language of when do they want me to come put my arm
04:34around them
04:35so let's just let it cool down in the moment and then it's going to be like you guys both
04:41had killer years we won the constructors you led the world championship
04:45one finished first one finished second
04:47so i guess max you know i mean he's not going away

09:19ist es schwer zu sagen
09:21and i would like to believe

09:25i'm seeking
09:27perfection
09:35he's with me
09:36he's with me
09:37he's with me
09:37don't get
09:38don't get over excited
09:42we're going that way
09:45laron
09:45this is paddock club
09:47i was like where is he going
09:51morning
09:52good afternoon
09:54morning afternoon
09:55what is it
10:00pedro i don't have my pass
10:03good start for today
10:12yeah i want to have a coffee
10:14but a good coffee
10:17yeah
10:19in vegas
10:20to win this one
10:21it would be a good step
10:23because the last race
10:24in parisil came with a double dnf
10:32oh that's damage
10:34yeah how about this race
10:43for fuck's sake
10:44what happened
10:47suspension is broken
10:56fred's coming into vegas on the back of a pretty disastrous brazilian grand prix
11:02fred has so much to deal with right now with two unhappy drivers
11:08so a good result in vegas on a track where ferrari does go well
11:12would salvage what has been a really disappointing 2025
11:18my job is the most difficult job when you don't get the result expected
11:24at the end of the day i'm responsible
11:37it's quite impossible to make prediction but i have my crystal ball
11:45charlie is well known to be performant on the street circuit and i think he he liked vegas a lot
11:53i remember that lewis was mega strong last year in the race and the motivation is there
12:04vegas is a tough track
12:07it's a street track
12:08super fast
12:11tight
12:11twisting
12:13really narrow
12:16and all held at night
12:17but in deeply cold conditions which means you get very little grip from your tires
12:24it is a massive challenge and to make matters worse
12:31lauren did you expect rain like this when we firstly came to vegas at the start of this week
12:37i don't think anyone did
12:38no i mean we have not been trusting the forecast for the whole week honestly it's been very very difficult
12:44to predict
12:45and when the rain really starts to come down vegas is one of the most difficult circuits to get right
12:54sorry guys to keep you waiting not good
12:56um all right here what to say
12:59honestly it was not a good weekend last year but today we'll all be about are we able to put
13:04these tires the right window
13:05there is a great program across the car that's it really it's going to be only about that this weekend
13:11let's make it thank you guys thank you
13:17this is going to be a shit show isn't it
13:20as soon as qualifying begins the clock's ticking
13:23you have a limited amount of time to make the right decisions
13:27get it wrong
13:29and you're starting at the back of the grid
13:33strategy it's the most difficult job
13:36because quite often your decision is becoming the right one or the wrong one
13:44keep pushing keep pushing
13:47now push
13:50it looks nice to work
13:54keep pushing keep pushing for an extra lap
13:58it looks painfully slow doesn't it
14:00the rain cleaned the track
14:02it was very very slippery
14:03it's very wet
14:05we are not reactive to the track conditions
14:10well that's it for Lewis Hamilton's qualifying entrance tonight
14:13last and slowest
14:15we missed completely the opportunity
14:20it's very slippery
14:21we'll keep pushing keep pushing
14:23three
14:24three
14:24three
14:25three
14:25three
14:26three
14:27three
14:28and we're all box box
14:30we'll chat about it with your back
14:33Antonelli down in 17th
14:36Kim is on a super sleepery circuit that he didn't know
14:38it's unfortunate because he had the pace to be with the top drivers
14:46but it's just zero grip
14:47oh it's just zero grip
14:50oh it's just zero grip
14:50fuck it
14:50yeah copy that mate
14:51reach up right there
14:53so you know that goes 19th
14:55ah
14:57we got it wrong with Yuki
14:59specifically we got it wrong with his tire pressure
15:01sounds like a very small thing
15:03but it's enough to cost him a lot of grip
15:05you are going to have a curveball being thrown at you
15:08and you need to be prepared to adapt
15:10and that's the name of the game
15:12we decided
15:13we will make the change
15:14hopefully we get it right
15:18Charles
15:18ocean trying
15:35E what?
15:37E9
15:38my god embarrassing
15:43I think
15:44stop draining
15:46track should get better
15:49keep your speed up
15:50keep your speed up
15:53when the track starts to dry
15:56the only thing that it comes down to is
15:58who has the strength
16:00mentally
16:01has absolutely no fear
16:03will push over the edge
16:07close to that
16:09E5
16:14so keep pushing George
16:16close to that
16:22E5
16:25so keep pushing George
16:29keep pushing
16:30head down
16:30max
16:34deep pushing
16:35yeah
16:47good job
16:48that's p1 for the moment
16:54so ladder track is clear opportunity yeah
17:01max he's going to be picture perfect we can't control his base his qualifying
17:08so we got to focus on ourselves
17:26feels great to me on the team with two drivers towards the front of the field for the race
17:34we did better than the other teams
17:39and lando getting pole was unbelievable it was a great lap
17:58we missed the ball fair enough well done to lando for getting it
18:02but we know we had a good position to fight for tomorrow
18:04it's first throw and it's it's game on
18:18fred you're okay no i'm not okay
18:23we came with vegas full of expectation we have to try to understand what we did wrong
18:32lose completely the momentum with different conditions in quality it's a huge frustration
18:36for us i'm trying to stay aware of emotion what is difficult it's difficult for everybody
18:48we are putting so much energy so much passion on this that you have a kind of frustration
18:54you just have to accept that you didn't do the perfect job
18:57you just have to know if you cannot survive
19:10let's find the ultimate team
19:10we want to leave it to hope you do the wrong expansive
19:15last few dng thousand love
19:23that's great
19:25Take it easy, let's go.
19:40Oh, my God.
19:41You like it?
19:42We went 200.
19:46Love y'all.
19:54Nice to meet you.
19:56Morning.
19:59Morning.
20:01Did you experiment last night?
20:04I didn't look at it.
20:05Oh, you're kidding.
20:06He found some sex erotic kit in the hotel with the Maltesers, no?
20:12I was curious.
20:14I obviously know what pleasures a woman.
20:18It's pretty obvious.
20:19But when there's a pleasure kit for a man, I was like,
20:22I need to check this out.
20:24I hope I do.
20:24Of course I do.
20:30I heard Zac Brown talk, but he said the one thing
20:32that he was worried about was you.
20:34Yeah.
20:34Don't take everything to Syria.
20:36I know.
20:36Exactly.
20:37Especially from him.
20:46I cannot stand the nail biting.
20:49It kills me.
20:51What?
20:51It's so rank.
20:55Stop it.
20:57The bigger the weekends, the more pressure.
20:59Big events always excite me.
21:01So with the lot on the line, that's where the adrenaline comes out.
21:04Max is the guy that we're racing.
21:06He's knocking at the door and Max always delivers.
21:10What's the plan?
21:12It goes fast as possible.
21:13Yes.
21:14That's a good one.
21:16He's a fierce competitor.
21:18He never stops.
21:19So I'll be using both eyes and any eyes I might have behind my head.
21:27See you later.
21:30But going into race day, Red Bull will be more determined than ever.
21:39No people wants to see us chasing McLaren and that's what we are after this weekend.
21:46How much risk London takes?
21:50Yeah.
21:51I said we don't have anything to lose but he has to be careful.
21:55And now I saw an interview saying he will take this.
21:59He wants to win.
22:06From Las Vegas, this is Formula One between the bright lights and the landmarks.
22:28Radio check.
22:3075 seconds.
22:32George Russell starts fourth for Mercedes.
22:36Kimi Antonelli starts 17th tonight.
22:39He's not in a good starting position.
22:41But Kimi is an integral part of the team.
22:43He knows he needs to perform.
22:47That is maximum pressure.
22:50Radio check.
22:52Loud and clear.
22:54Charles Leclerc starts ninth.
22:57Lewis Hamilton starts 19th.
22:59We've been challenged.
23:00There's an opportunity left.
23:02Yeah.
23:02That's a good one.
23:04Yuki Tsunoda starts from the pit lane after Red Bull changed his engine overnight.
23:08We have only one car that has a chance.
23:10So it's full attack mode.
23:12And the max zone.
23:14Radio check.
23:14Yeah.
23:15Max Verstappen is on the front row ahead of Piastri in fifth.
23:20But Lando Norris will start on pole.
23:25Max being in a hunt is going to be a dogfight.
23:28He's unbelievable in the car.
23:31Stand in seconds.
23:32We just need Lando to keep in front of Max.
23:36And hopefully his car will get a little bit smaller in our rear view mirrors.
23:40We're going to go for it.
23:41We've been pushing.
24:07Yeah.
24:11We're going to go for it.
24:17One thing we know is that your best shot is at turn 1 lap 1 and Max rarely, rarely gets
24:23that wrong.
24:28Oh my word! So much chaos going on throughout the whole field!
24:34This is good.
24:35Oh my god!
24:39C-30.
24:49Pete Wilde was also upstart.
24:55Lewis Hamilton is up seven positions.
24:58Max Verstappen in the lead, then it's Norris.
25:02Lado Russell is not hiding.
25:17Yeah, good job. It's a pea soup.
25:31And Tonelli getting close to Colapinto.
25:34Kimmy, probably a P-15. Colapinto 1.0 ahead.
25:52Okay, good lad. It's too much to play for here, Kimmy. So just keep looking forward.
26:00Look at his lap times, Kimmy's very clear.
26:04Unbelievable.
26:06That's what Kimmy, you're the fastest man on track.
26:09Kimmy's lap times are getting faster and faster, but he needs to get himself towards the front of the field.
26:17Hadjar now comes into the pit.
26:20Piastri has been called to the pit lane.
26:23We are staying out.
26:25We had really good pace.
26:27That was the moment I was thinking.
26:29It looks like it's one stop.
26:31Should we give it a little bit of a push more on the tyres and see whether we can get
26:35to the end?
26:38Antonelli, now up to P-8.
26:43So it's now on the car ahead.
26:46Overtake is available.
27:00Okay, nice work, Kimmy.
27:06Now there'll be gaps at Russell's ahead. 1.4.
27:10Overtake.
27:11Come on!
27:18Gap point five.
27:20I got it!
27:33Good at the fight.
27:41Antonelli, who has run 32 laps on the hard tyre,
27:45now finds himself in fourth position as everyone else has pitted.
27:48He needs strong speed, but he needs to manage the tyres.
27:52On a one-stop, you can't nurture the tyre to the end.
27:55You're going to be eaten up, but the guy's behind.
28:00The car ahead is Antonelli.
28:03The car behind is now Leclerc.
28:10He can't put eight behind.
28:13He can't put seven behind.
28:16Everything you got, mate.
28:19Here we go.
28:20Come on!
28:25It's going to get hopeful tight.
28:33Piastri, 1.3.
28:35This is not good enough.
28:37Oh, yeah.
28:39People think they're like crazy.
28:41Keep your head down.
28:44Piastri and Leclerc not making any inroads on Antonelli.
28:52All right, let's go get Max.
28:54Yep.
28:57I don't think there's much you can do to stop Max other than just beat him.
29:01We can't influence what he does, so we just got to focus on ourselves.
29:06Carvanheim, Norris.
29:07Do you need to close?
29:09Yes, please.
29:10Reference, the gap is 5.1.
29:13No.
29:13There we go.
29:15Oh, boy, huh?
29:17Are you trying to pick up the pace?
29:18Yeah, no, I am.
29:22Sparks flying out the back of Rando Norris.
29:25We're just slow.
29:29Uh, what do I do?
29:31Because...
29:32It just feels worse.
29:35What is going on with Norris?
29:37What is the issue he's dealing with?
29:44We'll just have to, uh, compromise with the...
29:47...and, uh, have a lot.
29:51Lando is nursing some form of issue.
29:54Gap is 9.6.
30:01Lando, Max, this is the final lap.
30:06Max Verstappen wins the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
30:13Oh, that's lovely, that.
30:15Good at Max.
30:16That was proper, proper elimination.
30:19Very happy.
30:21Well done, guys.
30:25Lando Norris.
30:26Lando Norris hangs on to second position.
30:31Is that the flag?
30:32Yeah, that's a checkered flag.
30:33Good job, mate.
30:34It's a P3.
30:36Yeah, that was...
30:37That was tricky, that.
30:38Yeah, Josh, congratulations to the podium.
30:40Really good.
30:41Kimi Antonelli, finishing fifth.
30:44Yeah, Kimi, the pace was from another planet.
30:48Beard is mega.
30:50Beard is mega.
31:05Beard is mega.
31:06Max Verstappen taking career victory 69.
31:14Did you see his part just left again?
31:17Yeah, that was not stopping.
31:24I think the win was very, very significant in a way that it was a dominant win.
31:32The work we are doing, we only do that to achieve that magic moment.
31:41Good race, but...
31:44I have a long second.
31:50Max Verstappen has won the Las Vegas Grand Prix, but you have to say, it's a great result for McLaren.
31:57Lando Norris remains 30 points clear at the top of the Drivers' Championship.
32:05Uh, McLaren.
32:07We think there's a...
32:09This is weird.
32:10They're under investigation with FIA.
32:16I think they might be in trouble.
32:19So, this is currently happening.
32:21We're looking back at the ESO, but the individual is legal.
32:25I don't think that's probably the only way I'm going to.
32:35We have something we have to argue to you what to say, yeah?
32:38They always care.
32:42Netflix, I'm filming my mind.
32:47Okay.
32:51Lando, what happened at the finish of the race?
32:53Was it a fuel management issue?
32:56Uh, it might have been.
32:57I just... the team were telling me there was some...
32:59I think there were some sensor issues from what I got told after.
33:01But, uh, they didn't tell me during the race.
33:05Very quick, when I got Zac Brown here, and Zac, that did not look like an easy idiot at the
33:09office.
33:09How do you view it?
33:10It was kind of a boring race.
33:12Can I ask what the problem was with Lando's car later on that slowed in?
33:15We were just managing.
33:16And we want to do, uh, be on the conservative side.
33:22So, if there's too much wear, then they get disqualified.
33:28Turn off the way, turn off the way, please. Turn off the way.
33:31By Lando.
33:32Ah, yeah, yeah.
33:33You are on the limit.
33:35Under the limit.
33:37Okay.
33:40Can I come out?
33:41Yeah.
33:41Huh?
33:41No, no.
33:42No, no, no.
33:55We have some breaking news for you.
33:58Both McLaren drivers have just been disqualified from the Las Vegas problem.
34:11Um, what was the issue with the car?
34:19We had a skidware issue.
34:21So, the car was too low.
34:23It was unbelievable.
34:25Less than a piece of paper that we were off by, but the rules are the rules.
34:30It's not any one person's fault.
34:32If it is, it's mine, because everything rolls up to me.
34:37Vegas is all about taking a gamble, right?
34:43Zack gambled and lost.
34:45In front of the biggest audience imaginable.
34:49And the impact is enormous.
34:52The two races to go.
34:54This double disqualification completely knocks McLaren off their stride.
34:59Heading into this weekend, we were talking about Max being, you know,
35:03it's mathematically possible that he could actually now win his fifth world title.
35:12It looks like this is going all the way to the wire.
35:15Max has never believed that this is his title to win.
35:19It was going to take McLaren doing something that would allow him in.
35:25This is that moment.
35:27From an outside shot.
35:31It's game on.
35:37We looked like idiots.
35:40Can't afford any more mistakes.
35:41We head into the final two races with a three-way fight for the driver's title.
35:47West Zapp is a monster.
35:49He will smell blood.
35:50Zack Brown described you as a guy in a horror movie.
35:53You can call me Chucky.
35:54We could be standing on the brink of history.
35:57Funny things can happen.
35:59Norris has fallen by.
36:01Let's fucking go, guys.
36:03Oh, come on!
36:04That was a classic level of shithauser.
36:06It is time to crown a champion.
36:10It couldn't be more disastrous.
36:11Unbelievable, Max.
36:34完璧-
36:35I'm not a fan of movie on Tristan Hope.
36:40I'll see you first in the short, Max fifteen ringer.
36:44This has been the last week.
36:45But I bottled you first.
36:45Time to connect我也.
