00:10It's going to be win number one in 2025 for Lando Norris.
00:14What up, mate?
00:15Great job.
00:16From the moment the 2025 season began, McLaren looked unstoppable.
00:21It's a one-two for McLaren.
00:23Winning a championship is the thing I've worked on to achieve, you know, since I was a little boy.
00:28What is the ultimate ambition, world champion one day?
00:31It's me.
00:33Oscar Piersley wins the Bahrain Grand Prix.
00:37At the moment it's a close battle between Lando and I.
00:39This might be my only opportunity to win a driver's world championship.
00:43Both can't win. One will come out second best.
00:46There can only be one champion. Somebody's going to have a heartbroken, you know?
00:54But as McLaren's teammates focus seemingly solely on one another, Max Verstappen has been mounting the most incredible comeback.
01:03Good launch off the line from Pouston to Piastri.
01:06It's going to be close.
01:07Verstappen throws around the outside, takes the lead in spectacular fashion.
01:13Max Verstappen wins the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
01:17Yes, I'm fired.
01:20Max, attack!
01:22Max Verstappen is still the top dog.
01:25Lando Norris, he's gone wide! Verstappen leads him!
01:28It wasn't many races ago that Max was more than a hundred points behind these guys.
01:35Yeah!
01:36Well done, Max. You've killed everyone today.
01:38Very nice. You've got like that.
01:40I'm very enjoyable.
01:42Max Verstappen keeps up his championship challenge.
01:47McLaren have made a critical error in their car setups.
01:50They're under investigation with FIA.
01:53Huge breaking news.
01:54They've run the car too low on the bumpy Vegas streets.
01:59Both McLarens have been disqualified.
02:02After the double disqualification, this world championship battle has been blown wide open.
02:09For Lando and Oskar, their hopes and their dreams could be shattered into a million pieces.
02:16Pressure's on Lando, right?
02:17I think so.
02:18I found it a bit.
02:19And now, we head into the final two races with a three-way fight for the driver's title.
02:26Lando has everything to lose.
02:28Max, he will smell blood.
02:30Can Max complete an incredible comeback?
02:33Verstappen is a monster. He's the strong one. We have nothing to lose.
02:37Or is this the moment a new world champion rises?
03:01Good evening. How are we all? All okay?
03:05Welcome.
03:07Tonight, we are here to celebrate a powerhouse of motorsport.
03:11A leader, a hustler, now an author.
03:14The CEO of McLaren Racing, Zac Brown.
03:20What's the book about?
03:23Business. Leadership. Lessons. Stuff.
03:26I was following the race at the weekend in Vegas.
03:29So I thought I'd get it out of the way at the start.
03:32How are you feeling?
03:40That sucked.
03:42A bit of an understatement.
03:44It was a shock getting the news that we'd been disqualified.
03:48We got the car set up wrong.
03:50A bad mistake.
03:51We've never claimed we're perfect.
03:54We try and be perfect, but we're fair.
03:56We rotate whose car we sabotage weekend to weekend.
04:00So we do everything totally fair.
04:02You've made a mistake.
04:04And to do anything to hurt our drivers getting the chance to win the Drivers' Championship,
04:08we felt pretty bad.
04:10How are both Oscar and Lando feeling about things?
04:13They're great.
04:15I, you know, I speak with them all the time.
04:18I've never once felt any tension in the room.
04:22Both guys have a great chance at winning the World Championship.
04:26But, you know, Max is like that guy in that horror movie that as soon as you thought he was
04:32done, he's back.
04:34Yeah, he's lurching back to life.
04:37Max is not a four-time world champion by accident.
04:40He never quits.
04:41He's right in the midst of things.
04:43So I'm concerned.
04:45We've, uh, we've put some pressure on ourselves.
04:48Um, just because a lot of people have asked this, uh, shouldn't you be in Qatar?
04:52Uh, that's where I'm headed when we're, we're, we're done tomorrow morning.
04:58Thank you very much, Zach.
04:58Have a safe journey home.
04:59Good night.
05:00Cool.
05:00Thank you, everyone.
05:03Qatar will be a challenging weekend for us.
05:06No one can kind of afford not to have a good weekend.
05:10You worry about everything, you've got to reset.
05:14It's about getting the drivers focused on the job at hand.
05:28What is that?
05:29Oh, delicious.
05:36No, I'm good.
05:37I've got my own food with me, actually.
05:41Um, yeah, so I'm, I don't know where I start.
05:46Uh, Vegas hurt me.
05:48Lost a lot of points.
05:50Should just never happen.
05:52What the hell was that?
05:54No, Barry Yaga.
05:57I'm just never a person that will come in and blame the team first.
06:00But when you're against the best in the world, then it's not good enough.
06:04It puts you in quite a difficult position.
06:07It's all about just trying to win.
06:10Yeah.
06:11All we want to do is make sure that we don't decide the championship.
06:18Inadvertently, you guys have a tingle and Max goes on and wins.
06:22Oh, you know, and that's nice.
06:24After a double disqualification, Red Bull and Max are a threat.
06:29He's fighting for the championship.
06:30He's certainly going to be in it.
06:31And we have to perform perfectly to keep them out of it.
06:35I think there is a point when it's, we've done what we've had to do as a team.
06:40Yeah.
06:41Now it's the racing drivers let us go and do what we can to win the race.
06:46Yeah.
06:46I think we're all mature enough to acknowledge I could win big or I could lose.
06:53McLaren are feeling the heat from Verstappen.
06:56The double disqualification in Vegas is only going to ramp up the pressure on everyone.
07:01Everything is now under the microscope.
07:03You cannot afford any more errors.
07:16Nowadays, you can't say shit in the pedal.
07:19Heading into Qatar, Max is now tied with Oscar.
07:22Good race.
07:23And Lando is just 24 points ahead.
07:32Ultimately, it's never a good thing having the result we had in Vegas.
07:36Another tense moment in the year.
07:38The best way of keeping my hopes in as good a shape as I can is trying to go out
07:42and win
07:42and get the best results again.
07:44Oscar.
07:45What?
07:46I tried to piss both of you about this.
07:48Oh, sorry.
07:50What do you think about the double disqualification for McLaren?
07:54I think great.
07:55A few extra points for me, so I was happy about it.
07:58Both cars being disqualified is obviously a big setback for them,
08:01which makes Max come closer, uncomfortably closer.
08:05Yeah.
08:05Yeah.
08:07Huge moment for the championship, for McLaren.
08:10Little bit questionable.
08:12Max is going to enjoy that and, yeah, not a good thing for Oscar or Lando.
08:18Clearly, the pressure is super high.
08:20Lando has everything to lose.
08:22Max and Oscar have nothing to lose.
08:23Will Lando be bricking it?
08:26Everyone will be bricking it.
08:29Max, just get your reaction to what happened with the double DSQ for the McLarens.
08:33Of course, the gap closed a bit with that.
08:38But it's still 24 points.
08:40But it's definitely a better chance than what it was before that.
08:45But, you know, we go all in.
08:46We have nothing to lose.
08:48If it was anyone else, you'd say it was impossible.
08:52But this is Max.
08:53He lives for the impossible.
08:55To overturn more than 100 points and with two races to go, you just feel it's his.
09:06You good?
09:07Yeah, mate.
09:08I'm in control.
09:09Okay.
09:10Lovely times.
09:19We could be standing on the brink of history.
09:23Lando Norris can clinch the title tonight over his teammate and rival, Oscar Piastri.
09:29Max Verstappen will not back down either.
09:31My goodness me, I've got goosebumps.
09:34Feeling good?
09:35Yeah.
09:36In Las Vegas, we'd made a mistake.
09:39But I expect Lando and Oscar to bounce back.
09:43See you on the grid, dude.
09:45I think that we need to set everything up.
09:47In Qatar, we're hoping that by closing a bit that gap, McLaren, they will start to feel a bit more
09:54pressure.
09:57And as a result, they will make mistakes.
10:00It's one thing to dominate, it's another thing to feel the pressure off your competitors.
10:04Oscar Piastri has pole.
10:06At the moment, it's a close battle.
10:08I'm not ultimately concerned with whether I have an edge or not.
10:11I'm focused on trying to win the Drivers World Championship.
10:16Norris is in second place alongside his teammate, Oscar Piastri.
10:20I've got to be on top of everything at all times.
10:23As soon as you relax one little bit in any area, you can pay the price and it can be
10:28costly.
10:29We need to win.
10:30We're going to stop making mistakes.
10:33Max Verstappen will start third tonight.
10:36We are here.
10:37I am in this fight still.
10:40But at the same time, it needs some severe bad luck or mistake for me to be fully in the
10:46fight.
10:47We need a good start.
10:48We need something.
10:49Yeah, boy.
10:51Well, this could get excited.
10:53Everyone in position.
10:55Three contenders for the title.
10:57If Lando wins tonight, he's champion of the world.
11:02But if either Piastri or Verstappen finish ahead of him, this title fight will go all the way to the
11:09final race in Abu Dhabi.
11:33Very good overtake, Max.
11:35Fantastic.
11:36A2.
11:40Go on, Maxi.
11:42And Max Verstappen ahead by turn one.
11:46Go on, Lando.
11:47Lando, keep it up.
11:48We'd like to try and give it a go on Verstappen.
11:51Confirmed.
11:54Race leader, Oscar Piastri, trying to win his first Grand Prix for three months.
11:59Everything looks good outside, Oscar.
12:01Great to then Verstappen, fast back.
12:03Race is great.
12:04Good job.
12:06It's a pretty fast-paced race, but being able to get comfortable with it pretty quickly.
12:11There's still a lot that can happen, but so far, so good.
12:15Piastri is still fighting for his own championship.
12:26I don't think about losing.
12:27That's not in my head.
12:28I think about how to win.
12:30The start was decent, so this is a very good opportunity now for us to win the race.
12:38Whoa.
12:40No, he's driving a gust of speed.
12:56Fucking unbelievable.
12:57I gave him loads of space.
13:00You're okay, Nico?
13:02You're okay, Nico.
13:03How fucking stuff.
13:05They're not going to clean that car away very quickly.
13:09There are 50 laps to go, and the safety car is out.
13:13It's going to be interesting.
13:18Career boxing or staying out at the standby.
13:22If drivers want to take a pit stop behind the safety car, they can do so.
13:28I don't think we have to stay out because it's been a secret.
13:33Oscar, we're staying out, stay out.
13:36If he's staying out.
13:38Oscar's not pitting, right?
13:39Is Oscar pitting?
13:41He'll get a good picture.
13:43What are we doing?
13:44We're staying out.
13:49Box, I'm big and firm, Max.
13:50Box, I'm big and firm.
13:52Copy.
13:53These tires cannot do more than 25 laps per set, so it's a two-stop race.
14:00For us, taking the pit stop was an automatic decision.
14:06Verstappen happy to roll the dice.
14:08Pitting under the safety car essentially means a free pit stop.
14:12Box now, it's a very busy pit lane.
14:14A whole bunch of cars coming in.
14:16Most of the field, it looks like.
14:19Awesome, Fidder.
14:20Everyone has pitted now.
14:21Other than the two McLarens.
14:24And now, McLaren have the entire pack behind them on fresh tires.
14:28I should have just followed him in there.
14:30If he knew the car head was staying out.
14:32It's never a nice moment to win.
14:34The entire field has an opposite strategy, so I'm concerned.
14:38Are we in trouble here?
14:40We will see whether there was the record or not.
14:44Complete disaster for McLaren.
14:46They've now got to make an extra pit stop over Verstappen before the end of this race.
14:50They've got to build an enormous gap to undo the damage here.
14:54When you're under so much pressure, it's not a mistake.
15:00Expect McLaren to push hard on the restart.
15:03Yeah.
15:05Safety car in this lap.
15:08Here we go.
15:11Safety car in.
15:22We're racing again at McLaren with so much work to do.
15:27You are free to push.
15:29I can't let them vote too far away.
15:31Do what you can, obviously, Max.
15:34This is a bit of a race where we need to be quick comebacks.
15:37What kind of players do we need?
15:39We need to be more than a second after that.
15:42Verstappen.
15:43Well.
15:45Piastri leads this rivalry with Norris in second, then Verstappen in third.
15:50He's going to have the race lead when the McLarens stop.
15:55They've blown this massively.
15:57It's a pivotal moment in the World Championship with 15 laps to go.
16:02Okay, Oscar.
16:02Tire update, please.
16:04Struggling a bit now.
16:05Copy.
16:06Let's do it.
16:07It's like box, box.
16:12Max, good pace.
16:13Captain Norris, one second.
16:15Yeah, this feels good.
16:25That's currently P1.
16:26Yeah, yeah.
16:30Bring it home, man.
16:31Go on.
16:32Stay there.
16:36Orlando could be close to Carzak.
16:39Antonelli and Sainz, they'll be ahead of us.
16:45Norris, have you got a baby?
16:48That's what we need, brother.
16:50Max, plenty of gap now for Norris and P3, so hold on.
16:54Last lap.
16:58I think Norris will certainly pass up the Nelly with a base we're doing.
17:03Come on, Orlando.
17:04Let's go and get Antonelli.
17:16Antonelli has gone wide, and Lando Norris moves up into fourth place.
17:21And that's two very precious extra points there for Lando Norris.
17:25How crucial could they be?
17:26Come the final reckoning.
17:29Regardless of that, we will fight to the end.
17:39Max Verstappen wins the Qatar Grand Prix, and the fight for the title will go to the final race.
17:47Staying in it, great jump, man.
17:49We're done, Max.
17:50Never a foot wrong, magic pace.
17:53Let the other guys do the mistakes.
17:57Yeah, we're really well done for that goal.
18:02They threw the fucking win away.
18:03Get in the win.
18:05It's fucking embarrassing.
18:06Just gave everything away.
18:07Check the flag, Oscar.
18:09Check the flag.
18:10Hiastri comes home in second.
18:12And that now means he's behind Max Verstappen in the driver's standings.
18:18Norris finishes in fourth.
18:20This could have been the coronation.
18:23He was dreaming of being world champion tonight.
18:26Painful.
18:27Painful.
18:31Stacia's.
18:33Yes.
18:35I don't have any words.
18:39We made a wrong decision today.
18:42That's clear.
18:46You know, obviously it hurts at the moment.
18:48It's another weekend where something's just not going our way.
18:52It does hurt.
18:56Another mistake.
18:58A highly visible mistake.
19:01Very disappointing coming off of Vegas.
19:06We stuck to our plan.
19:07I don't think the team expected everyone to box.
19:10The safety car.
19:11Was it the right call?
19:18Why didn't you beat like all the other drivers?
19:22Because we did what we thought was best.
19:25It hurts the team, I think.
19:27We looked like idiots.
19:30We shouldn't have done what we did since we were a simple example.
19:37Do you think I still go see the drivers or let them be?
19:40I don't know.
19:43I don't feel like I'm saying sorry to them.
19:47McLaren's decision to go against the prevailing wisdom of every team in that pit lane is baffling.
19:56You could imagine a driver losing a bit of faith, a bit of confidence.
19:59We just can't afford any more mistakes because they're getting pretty costly.
20:02Okay, let's do your phone.
20:04Come on, let's go.
20:06You win next week.
20:08I do want to go talk to the drivers.
20:10Um, yeah.
20:13If it had been anyone else who won, it wouldn't have been quite so bad.
20:17The errors compounding Vegas, Qatar, with one race left,
20:23it couldn't be much more of a disastrous outcome.
20:28Believe it. Believe it. Believe it.
20:32We dominated the race.
20:35It was a very significant win.
20:38It has a big influence on the championship.
20:41Anything can happen in a race like it showed today.
20:44It was just a mistake of not boxing both of them.
20:47Max Verstappen has won the Qatar Grand Prix.
20:50Very happy.
20:51I know, of course, the gap came down quite a bit.
20:53We're in it, and it will keep it interesting.
20:56Max, ahead of this race,
20:58Zac Brown described you as a guy in a horror movie
21:00that keeps coming back effectively.
21:02Do you think you're a little bit in McLaren's heads
21:05and you've gotten scrambled,
21:06and that's why they're making these sort of mistakes?
21:09You can call me Chucky.
21:20How are you doing?
21:22I'm all right.
21:23I'm all right.
21:24Yeah?
21:25Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.
21:26I'm loving life. I can't complain, can I?
21:31Fighting against Max, the driver, I think,
21:33is probably the best ever in Formula One.
21:36It's difficult in Qatar.
21:39I was downbeat because I lost some points in the championship,
21:42just thrown away.
21:45We messed it up, and he did a good race.
21:47They're doing a very good job, and we did quite the opposite.
21:50Like, do I think I'm quick enough?
21:53Yeah.
21:55But, uh...
21:56I need to do it when it counts, that's the only thing.
22:01It's not like I'm scared of losing, let's say.
22:04It's more the effect of losing, which is the disappointment.
22:09Yeah.
22:10It's just difficult.
22:12Better get going.
22:14Cheers, mate.
22:20Going into Abu Dhabi, I hope I don't have to find out
22:24what it means to not come out on top at the end of the season.
22:39We meet again in Abu Dhabi
22:42for an F1 title decider.
22:45With three drivers in contention,
22:48only one can triumph.
22:51Who will be the champion of the world?
22:54I think this is Lando's to lose,
22:56but it's the last race of the season
22:58with a lot of championship pressure,
23:00and that always results in a fantastic last race.
23:03Here you go, buddy.
23:05I think it's going to be Lando to win,
23:06or Max and Lando to crash, and Oscars.
23:08And then they're Oscars.
23:09Yeah.
23:10Now, in the final race of the season,
23:13Oscars looks to third in the Drivers' Championship.
23:16Max moves up to second
23:17and finds himself just 12 points behind Lando
23:21with one race remaining in Abu Dhabi.
23:27All Lando has to do this weekend
23:29is finish on the podium.
23:30First, second, or third.
23:31He's champion.
23:32But right now, if you're a betting man,
23:37it's Max's.
23:39Because the unthinkable,
23:42the improbable,
23:44now has a very realistic chance of happening.
23:50So McLaren had a trip up in Qatar,
23:53and Max knows how to get the most out of his team,
23:56so you can't bank against that.
23:58Maybe Oscar can be on the top.
23:59He's just very, very calm.
24:01So through the highs, he's calm.
24:04Through the lows, he's calm.
24:05Who's your money on this weekend?
24:09Probably Lando, I guess.
24:11I'm not going to be putting money on it.
24:12I don't think that's legal.
24:15Well, hope Max wins.
24:16He's in a hunt,
24:17and he'll have a good chance that he can win.
24:27I've been reflecting on it and thought,
24:30which way do I think it's going to go?
24:32Can't call it.
24:32It's going to be a banging showstopper.
24:37It's perfectly poised, isn't it?
24:39It's as though the racing gods
24:41had written the script for us.
24:43It's either the racing gods or Netflix,
24:44but somebody scripted it.
24:50We're calm.
24:51I think we're calm.
24:52I'm not sure I'm calm.
24:54I'm calm.
24:55I'm portraying that I'm calm.
24:57It gets very, very intense.
25:01Being in the lead,
25:02you're more of a mindset of,
25:03don't mess it up.
25:04Mm-hmm.
25:04And that's where Max will have an advantage
25:07in that he's...
25:08Done this.
25:09Done this four times.
25:11It'll be interesting to see what Lando's like.
25:12Oscar's chilled.
25:14I mean, Oscar can definitely win this thing.
25:15Yeah.
25:16It's why I always hate with, like,
25:18three laps to go, you know,
25:19in the commentary
25:20when they start talking
25:21as if it's, like, all over,
25:23and you're like, hmm.
25:24I've seen Lewis go from losing
25:27to winning the world championship
25:28in a corner on the last lap.
25:29Yeah.
25:30That's what makes sport cool.
25:32Unless you're the one on the wall.
25:35This conversation's making me more nervous.
25:38Losing the championship
25:39would be devastating.
25:41But come all this way
25:43to fall short on it,
25:44don't even want to think about it.
25:52Excuse me, guys.
25:53Excuse me, guys.
25:55Good luck.
25:56Good luck, guys.
25:57Here we go, then.
25:59The fight for the 2025 world title
26:02is about to begin.
26:06Ready to check it.
26:07Yep.
26:08Ready to check it.
26:09Excellent.
26:10Hard and clear.
26:10Yep.
26:11Hard and clear.
26:12I'm always a bit nervous before Pauly.
26:14I want to be on pole
26:15and feel like I have to be on pole
26:16to make my life easier on Sunday.
26:20So Lando and Sally
26:22is kind of behind you.
26:23He's approaching turn six now.
26:28It looks like a tense,
26:29tense driving from Lando,
26:31doesn't it?
26:33Here comes Piastri,
26:36who goes faster
26:37by some margin.
26:39Better put the wind off him.
26:40What a statement that is.
26:43OK, Max.
26:45Currently.
26:46Yeah.
26:47It's going to need something mighty
26:48from the two McLaren boys
26:50to be that.
26:51So if we can help
26:52with the kind of confidence
26:53on the brakes.
26:54No, it's not that.
26:55I think I'm just
26:56doing a shit job.
27:00I feel like stressed.
27:01I put myself under pressure
27:03because I do a crappy lap.
27:06I put myself down because of it.
27:08To put yourself in
27:09kind of a better position
27:10and a better mindset
27:11to set things off
27:12in the right direction again.
27:13You've got to think now.
27:14Can't think of the past anymore.
27:18Lando Norris
27:19currently finds himself
27:20third fastest.
27:26I should be coming
27:27to go P2.
27:29Copy.
27:31I'll keep the updates
27:32as they get ahead.
27:34Norris, three seconds.
27:37Keep on it.
27:48Norris is a tenth faster
27:50than Piastri
27:51in the middle sector
27:52of this lab.
27:55Here comes Piastri.
27:57Crosses the line.
27:58That's P3.
28:00Well, that wasn't much
28:01left at now on,
28:02so thanks.
28:08Okay, we are P2.
28:14That's pole position, folks.
28:17Let's start and go, guys.
28:19Let's see.
28:21Yes.
28:23Unbelievable speed, Max.
28:24Just pure speed.
28:26Mega.
28:27Yeah, fantastic work, guys.
28:28Let's have some fun
28:29out there tomorrow.
28:30Come on.
28:33Obviously, you know,
28:34I didn't have a great
28:34qualifying.
28:37Yeah, it was a tough one.
28:49Hello.
28:49Can I get your attention
28:51with our man of the moment,
28:53world championship leader,
28:55Mr. Norris?
29:02Yeah, a big day for all of us.
29:04I mean, this is, like,
29:05the biggest day of my life.
29:06I think when someone asks me
29:08how much I want to win
29:09a world championship,
29:10it's been my dream, right,
29:11since I was a kid.
29:12So everything I do
29:13is aimed at trying
29:14to be the best in the world.
29:15For Max to win,
29:16he needs to finish first
29:18and I need to finish fourth.
29:19So it could be
29:20a day of games
29:21in many ways.
29:22He's not going to just
29:23try and win,
29:24I'm going to guess.
29:24He's going to see
29:25what he can do
29:25to disrupt things,
29:27cause havoc,
29:28cause chaos,
29:29and we just need
29:30to be ready for that.
29:31I mean, the exciting part is
29:32I'm calling our strategy.
29:39We have to avoid
29:40making mistakes
29:41with the strategy stuff.
29:43I don't know what
29:44I'll be saying or thinking
29:45if I don't win.
29:47It's a horrible thought.
29:49I don't expect any drivers
29:50taking each other out
29:51to decide the world championship,
29:54unless you have to.
29:55No.
29:58Okay, I'll see you on the grid
30:00and let's take some ass.
30:02All right.
30:02Cheers, guys.
30:03Thank you very much.
30:04Thank you very much.
30:09Philando, with the expectation
30:10that's really rested
30:11on his shoulders
30:12since he joined McLaren,
30:13the fact that he was pitched
30:15from the outset
30:16as a potential champion,
30:18this should have been his season.
30:20But motor racing is a mind game
30:23and you're going up
30:24against one of the all-time greats.
30:26It's a question to Max.
30:28How are you dealing
30:28with the pressure?
30:30I'm very relaxed.
30:32I mean,
30:33trophy looks the same.
30:35You know,
30:35I have four of those at home,
30:36so it's nice
30:37to add a fifth.
30:39Just wanted to know
30:40if the parents are here.
30:42No, parents are not here.
30:44I mean,
30:44I didn't really plan
30:45to be in the title fight
30:46until the end,
30:46so, yeah,
30:48here we are.
30:48We're seeing a very different
30:51Max Verstappen,
30:53and it's joyous,
30:54unless your name
30:55is Lando Norris
30:56or Oscar Piastri.
30:59Because an unrestrained,
31:02carefree Max Verstappen
31:05is absolutely fucking terrifying.
31:08Welcome, Max.
31:09How's it going?
31:11How are we doing?
31:11You've got to put in the shape for you.
31:13I'm sitting here?
31:13Yes, please, in the shape.
31:14You might like to stay.
31:15It's slightly cooler.
31:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:17It's quite hot already.
31:19Luckily, the race is, of course,
31:20in the evening,
31:21so that helps.
31:23It's much better.
31:26Max,
31:26if you win the championship,
31:28will this go down
31:29as your greatest win?
31:31I think definitely
31:31the most unexpected one.
31:33But then also,
31:34it's like,
31:34there is no pressure.
31:35Of course,
31:36if it happens,
31:37then that's insane.
31:39If it doesn't happen,
31:40we can still be very happy
31:41with what we have done
31:42the last few races.
31:44So...
31:44Pressure's on Lando, though, right?
31:46I think so.
31:49I'm in a good space, you know?
31:50Like, it's not this,
31:51like, do or die.
31:52But at the same time,
31:53I still want to win,
31:55and that's why I'm here.
31:57You seem tougher mentally
31:59than those guys.
32:00Do you try to play
32:01mind games with them
32:02in interviews,
32:03in the press,
32:04to, like, plant a seed,
32:05like, I'm an animal
32:07and you're not?
32:09Yeah, I mean,
32:10I've done it now
32:11the last few races
32:12a little bit,
32:13because it irritates them,
32:14you know?
32:15So, yeah,
32:17I don't mind it.
32:17For me,
32:18like, it's all fun
32:19and games anyway.
32:21You shouldn't take
32:21everything too serious.
32:24We are not going
32:25to change our approach now.
32:26We have been saying
32:27race after race.
32:28If there is an opportunity,
32:30Max is going to take it.
32:32He's an extraordinary champion,
32:33and, you know,
32:34Max will have a good chance.
32:37Good luck.
32:38Enjoy.
32:39Good luck.
32:44How's he feeling?
32:45Not as confident
32:46as me and you would be.
32:47Fuck no.
32:49You've been mega all weekend.
32:52Rinse and repeat.
32:54Just what you did last year.
32:58All right.
33:00Have fun.
33:06Rinse and repeat.
33:12All right.
33:12All good?
33:13Yeah.
33:13We're ready.
33:15How's the car feel?
33:16Hopefully it's been better today.
33:21All right.
33:22All right.
33:23All right.
33:24All right.
33:30You're about to witness
33:32one of these drivers
33:33have the greatest day
33:34of their career.
33:36The sport's biggest prize
33:37is up for grabs.
33:44Max Verstappen
33:45is going to push
33:46the McLarens
33:46all the way,
33:48and he starts
33:48the final race of the season
33:50from pole.
33:51Victory
33:51would complete
33:52the greatest comeback
33:53in the history
33:54of Formula One.
33:56McLaren
33:57second with Lando Norris
33:58and third
33:59with Oscar Piastri.
34:01Max is in whatever
34:02he gets to win the race.
34:03What's happening behind
34:04is what's happening behind.
34:05No control over that.
34:07See you on a good news.
34:08Have fun.
34:11I think in Formula One
34:12we know it's not over
34:13until it's over.
34:14Shitting your pants?
34:15Yes.
34:17We have to go out
34:18and win this championship,
34:21not expect Max to falter.
34:25Verstappen must make
34:26the podium
34:27to have any chance.
34:29Piastri must be
34:30in the top two.
34:31And if Lando Norris
34:33is to win
34:33his first world championship,
34:35he has to finish
34:36on the podium.
34:40We'll see how the race
34:41pans out.
34:44Till
34:45either Lando or Max
34:46cross the line
34:47in front of me,
34:48I've still got a chance
34:49of winning the title.
34:50I don't need
34:51things to happen
34:51in the race
34:52to win the championship,
34:54but funny things
34:55can happen.
34:58When pressure is high,
35:00normally I perform
35:01because I enjoy that.
35:03I'm going to try
35:04to win the race.
35:05If I need to attack,
35:06I'll attack.
35:06Because I have nothing
35:08to lose,
35:08so what can happen?
35:10You're either second
35:11or third,
35:12or you win.
35:13That would be fantastic.
35:16It's always tough
35:17and it's never
35:19going to be easy.
35:20It could be my only chance
35:22of winning a championship.
35:24I'm slowly breaking it.
35:27It is time
35:28to crown a champion.
35:43Oscar just behind.
35:45Oscar just behind.
35:49Max and Lando to head.
35:56Overtake available.
36:08Good job.
36:09Neil P2.
36:11The staff and
36:12the head of you.
36:15That's Oscar ahead of us.
36:17We should use a bit more
36:18pace.
36:20As expected,
36:22the field is very close.
36:23The car behind now,
36:25Piazri.
36:26See ya.
36:27Leclerc,
36:27he's a couple of seconds
36:28behind Norris.
36:30This face is mega.
36:32Well done.
36:33Go ahead, Norris.
36:35Perfect.
36:39It's very fine.
36:41Leclerc,
36:411.6.
36:43With Max Ostappen
36:44in the lead,
36:45Lando must finish
36:46P3 to be
36:47crowned world champion.
36:50And Leclerc will have
36:51DRS,
36:52he's 0.6.
36:53Confirmed.
37:01DRS enabled.
37:02Perfect.
37:12Good job,
37:12Oscar.
37:13Let's see if we can
37:14start putting the staff
37:14in under pressure.
37:15Copy.
37:18Lando,
37:19box this lap,
37:19please.
37:20Box this lap.
37:21Copy.
37:23Box Charles,
37:24box.
37:25Copy.
37:26Both Lando
37:27and Charles
37:27are pitting
37:28for new tyres.
37:29McLaren
37:30have to get this right
37:31so that Lando
37:32stays ahead
37:33of Leclerc.
37:36We have a plan.
37:38Everyone's
37:38laser-focused.
37:40We can't make
37:42any mistakes.
37:47I'll be close
37:48at exit.
37:50The field spread
37:51is incredibly tight.
37:52Yep.
37:53Confirmed.
37:54Oscar Lando
37:55pitted,
37:55but there's quite a lot
37:56of traffic
37:56in front of him.
37:58Copy.
38:07Norris has
38:08extinct pits
38:09behind us.
38:10Yep,
38:10copy that.
38:11Lando finds himself
38:12all the way back
38:13in ninth
38:13after his pit stop.
38:15He has to get
38:16back to third
38:16to win
38:17the world championship.
38:18So Norris
38:19is followed
38:19by Antonelli,
38:21Sainz,
38:22Stroll
38:22and Lawson.
38:23Also
38:24soon
38:24over.
38:28Norris
38:29put five
38:29behind.
38:30Copy that.
38:39Max
38:40of a pace
38:40cube.
38:41Norris
38:42still behind
38:42Antonelli
38:43Max.
38:44Copy.
38:45The longest
38:45ever.
38:49This race
38:50is not going
38:51the way
38:51I need
38:51to.
38:52But I
38:52can't let
38:53this championship
38:54just slip
38:54away.
38:56Because I
38:57fought as hard
38:57as I could
38:58fight for it.
39:00Good job.
39:04Four cars
39:05still to go.
39:07Sainz
39:07is the next car.
39:14It always
39:14first can't
39:15be annual.
39:15Do not go
39:17offline for
39:17noise.
39:18Come on,
39:23Carlos,
39:24be a friend.
39:26I've been
39:27teammates with
39:27Lando,
39:28but I'm not
39:29trying to
39:30help the
39:31McLaren.
39:31Just focusing
39:32on making
39:33zero mistakes.
39:34He's going to
39:35struggle to pass
39:35me.
39:39Pace is
39:40really good.
39:41Three cars
39:42to go.
39:44Lando,
39:44pass Sainz
39:45and he's
39:46moving through
39:46the traffic,
39:47trying to find
39:47his way
39:48through.
39:50Keep doing
39:51what you're
39:51doing.
39:52You got this.
39:57Norris
39:57close behind
39:58a new
39:58hardwood.
40:00I can't
40:01be a fucking
40:01best,
40:05Behind
40:05Stroke,
40:06there is Norris.
40:07Yeah.
40:08Let's do our
40:08best.
40:09Copy.
40:20Just tear it up,
40:21Damien.
40:22Tear it up.
40:28Vando takes two
40:30cars in one
40:31corner and
40:32is up to
40:33fourth.
40:34Verstappen and
40:35Piastri are
40:36leading this race,
40:37but it will not
40:38matter if Norris
40:39can claim
40:40third position.
40:43Our next
40:44copy,
40:45Sonoda.
40:54We expect Norris
40:55to think
40:55one lap.
40:57All he can
40:58when he catches.
41:01Alex,
41:01it's a living
41:02group.
41:06Any concern
41:07they do
41:07something really
41:08dirty?
41:11I can't
41:12set out
41:12ahead.
41:19Car behind
41:20now,
41:20Norris.
41:27I can see
41:34you,
41:35Ki.
41:36I know
41:37they're pretty
41:37quick in the
41:38straight,
41:39but I'm on
41:39fresher tires.
41:42I have to
41:42get past.
41:47Here comes
41:48Lando Norris
41:49and he gets
41:49forced
41:50completely
41:50off the track.
41:51Oh,
41:52come on!
41:53We're going to have
41:54to look at that
41:54because was he
41:55all four wheels
41:56off the track?
41:58He's over the
41:59wide line.
42:00We have to give
42:01that back,
42:01you know?
42:03That was
42:03fucking bullshit.
42:04The stewards
42:06are reviewing
42:06the incident
42:07between Norris
42:07and Tsunoda.
42:08This is a
42:09huge decision.
42:11That was
42:11classic
42:11rebel
42:12shithauser.
42:16Very dangerous.
42:24I think
42:25they are
42:26debating.
42:33We have
42:34been given
42:34a five
42:35second penalty
42:35from moving
42:36twice
42:36on the
42:37defense of
42:37Norris.
42:38So,
42:38what?
42:40How much
42:41can I do?
42:42Five
42:43seconds.
42:44Fucking
42:45dickhead.
42:47A
42:47massive
42:48moment
42:48for McLaren.
42:49No penalty
42:50for Norris.
42:51My heart
42:52didn't need
42:52that.

43:38what
43:38can
43:39I do
43:39for the
43:39best interest
43:40of Ferrari.

43:53percent pace
43:54please.
43:54A hundred
43:55percent pace.
44:01Why am I
44:02so
44:02throwing the
44:02straight?
44:04Nothing
44:04obvious yet
44:05on our
44:05side.
44:11Two
44:11Leclerc
44:11remaining.
44:37The second-to-last
44:39lap.
44:39I'm getting
44:41close.
44:41This is
44:41almost about
44:42to happen.
44:46All of a
44:47sudden,
44:48suddenly
44:48you have
44:48flashbacks.
44:56Different
44:57moments
44:57from the
44:57very beginning.
45:00Hi, I'm Lando
45:01Norris.
45:01I'm the
45:01European
45:02champion.
45:03I don't
45:03want to stop
45:04myself from
45:04trying to think
45:05of it,
45:05even though I'm
45:06not there yet.
45:09Just such a long
45:09journey, which
45:11is what makes it
45:11so special.
45:14Then, the
45:15final lap.
45:17Trying to take
45:18everything in.
45:20This is the biggest
45:21moment of my life.
45:24Lando Norris.
45:25He's the
45:26Formula One
45:27world champion.
45:35Lando, this is
45:36Zach from
45:37McLaren.
45:38Is this the
45:38world champion
45:39hotline?
45:42You did it!
45:43You did it!
45:44Awesome!
45:45Woo!
45:49Oh, shit.
45:51Oh, my God.
45:53You made a
45:53kid's dream come
45:54true.
45:54Thanks so much.
45:57I love you guys.
45:58Thanks for
45:58everything.
45:59You deserve it.
46:01I love you,
46:02mom.
46:02I love you,
46:03dad.
46:04Thanks for
46:04everything.
46:07I'm not crying.
46:10I'm not crying.
46:19Good job, mate.
46:21It's a P5,
46:22a P2
46:23in the
46:24Constructors.
46:25Go on,
46:25Metropole.
46:26Let's go again,
46:27next year.
46:28I'm proud to
46:29beat Ferrari.
46:30A tough competition
46:31between the two
46:32teams.
46:32It will always exist.
46:34The great
46:35racers.
46:44I love
46:44Lewis,
46:45I have so much
46:45respect for him,
46:46but I think
46:47it's no secret
46:48he's having a bit
46:48of a stinker
46:49and it's a bit
46:50tough to see.
46:52Thank you,
46:53Karloff,
46:53for an amazing
46:54first season together.
46:55Happy P5.
46:56Let's go build
46:56a man next year.
46:57Thank you,
46:57guys.
46:58You have a very
46:58good year.
46:59Congrats.
47:00It's unusual
47:01for a team
47:01to bounce
47:02from ninth
47:02to fifth.
47:03All right,
47:03Alex,
47:03thank you.
47:04There's a lot
47:05more to come.
47:06I can't wait.
47:07Thank you,
47:07James.
47:09But it's
47:09exponentially harder
47:10to be in the
47:11top three,
47:11and that's the
47:12bit that I'm
47:12really focused
47:13on now.
47:13Great job
47:14on your part,
47:14man.
47:15Just want to
47:16say thanks
47:16for the
47:16last 24
47:17races.
47:18Thank you,
47:18guys.
47:19A little
47:19bad season.
47:20There's been
47:21so much momentum
47:22gained throughout
47:23the course
47:23of the season,
47:24so many highs
47:25and lows
47:25all the way
47:26through it.
47:26I mean,
47:26it's been
47:27a rollercoaster.
47:29Well,
47:29let's keep
47:30this car
47:31away from
47:31my side
47:32next year,
47:32please.
47:37We need
47:37a completely
47:38new car,
47:39a completely
47:39new 26,
47:40you know what I mean?
47:42It's got to be
47:43a little bit boring.
47:44No burnouts.
47:45Sure.
47:56feel unbelievably
47:57relieved.
47:59Yeah!
48:01Yeah!
48:02To win the
48:02drivers is
48:03awesome.
48:04Couldn't be
48:04happier for
48:05Lando.
48:06Max is one of
48:07the greatest
48:08drivers of all
48:09time.
48:09Drives for an
48:10unbelievable team,
48:11so to beat him,
48:12you know you've
48:13done an awesome
48:14job,
48:15so I think
48:15it does feel
48:16sweeter.
48:18For Oscar,
48:19I know there's
48:20momentary
48:21disappointment,
48:22but he's going to
48:23be a world champion,
48:24I guarantee it.
48:25Last year,
48:26we became
48:27a structure
48:28world champion,
48:29and this year
48:30we have
48:31double
48:31wins!
48:37It's hugely
48:38significant.
48:39McLaren have
48:40gone from the
48:41bottom to the
48:42top to win
48:43back-to-back
48:43constructors
48:44championships and
48:45crown a
48:45drivers champion.
48:46So what that
48:47means is we're
48:49the best team in
48:49the business with
48:50the best driver
48:51lineup!
48:52Woo!
48:55I mean,
48:56it's incredible
48:56because it's,
48:58it's,
48:58it's the thing,
49:00it's the thing
49:01all of us
49:02worked on to
49:03achieve,
49:04you know,
49:04since I was a
49:04little,
49:05little boy.
49:06I had amazing
49:07parents that
49:08gave me the
49:09opportunity to do
49:10exactly what I
49:11wanted to do.
49:12Never lose this
49:13smile,
49:13never lose this
49:15smile.
49:15We did it,
49:16and that's a
49:17pretty cool thing
49:18to say.
49:242026,
49:26a new dawn
49:27for Formula One.
49:29New set of
49:30regulations,
49:31new engines,
49:32new car designs.
49:33It's a clean sheet
49:33of paper.
49:34I think this is
49:35probably the biggest
49:35rule change we've
49:36ever gone through.
49:37A new team in
49:38Cadillac.
49:38You deserve to be
49:39back in the car.
49:40I think in Valtteri,
49:42in Checo,
49:42we've got this
49:43perfect combination
49:44of experience and
49:45talent.
49:46The arrival of
49:46Audi replacing
49:48Sauber.
49:48What I'm hoping
49:49that we've seen
49:50today is an
49:50iconic team,
49:52one that's
49:52forever Audi
49:53Formula One.
49:54A new teammate
49:55for Max Verstappen
49:56once again.
49:57What the fuck
50:00am I doing
50:00here,
50:01you know?
50:01It's just...
50:03Which means
50:04Yuki's been
50:05replaced.
50:06Not sure it's
50:07fair to go.
50:08Liam Lawson will
50:10be racing with
50:10Visa Kashev
50:11Racing Bulls
50:12in 2026.
50:14And Aston
50:15Martin have
50:16employed the
50:17man responsible
50:17for designing
50:18every great
50:19racing car that
50:20Max Verstappen
50:21has ever driven.
50:21Morning, Adrian.
50:22Adrian's a
50:23unicorn.
50:23We have the
50:24ability to be
50:25the next greatest
50:26Formula One
50:27World Championship
50:28team.
50:28We'll give it
50:28our best shot.
50:31McLaren may have
50:31the fastest car
50:32this year,
50:33but they might
50:34not be on top
50:35for long.
