00:17Lewis Hamilton has left Mercedes to go to Ferrari.
00:24He's been the backbone of Mercedes.
00:27They won six world championships.
00:28Lewis Hamilton wins the British Grand Prix.
00:33He's the GOAT.
00:35He's Lewis Hamilton.
00:40The question is, how do you replace the most successful driver that this sport has ever known?
00:59Hello, Mom.
01:00Hello.
01:01How are you?
01:02How are you?
01:33Good.
01:33Good.
01:33Good.
01:33Good.
01:33Good.
01:35Good.
01:35Good.
01:36Good.
01:37Good.
01:37Good.
01:39My mom doesn't have to drive me around anymore.
01:42I can drive myself at the speed limit, which is hard.
01:48I mean, man, going at 30 KPH is boring.
01:53What are you laughing at?
01:57It feels mega.
01:59Oh, my God.
02:02This year, you've got six rookies in the field.
02:11Anything can happen.
02:12Okay, everyone.
02:13I'm going to pose you individually if that's cool.
02:15Kimmy, can you move a little bit that way, please?
02:17Not only that, almost every team have got an entirely new line-up.
02:21That's a massive change.
02:22Lewis, can you shuffle slightly to your right?
02:24Yeah, that's nice.
02:25Three, two, one.
02:28And the question on everyone's lips is how will Lewis do?
02:30Stop talking to me while I'm in the frickin' battle, man.
02:33Jeez.
02:34Fucking hell.
02:37All this young driver is more emotional.
02:39You've only fucked me over so many fucking times.
02:42Kimmy, are you okay?
02:43I was crying.
02:44Sometimes you want the stick and beat everybody in the head.
02:48Look at him.
02:49Yeah, but...
02:50In a season of new beginnings,
02:53who will survive the chaos?
02:55It's like a pool full of sharks.
03:00Fucking hell.
03:02Oh, for fuck's sake.
03:05Oh, my God.
03:07Clear for takeoff.
03:09Here we go.
03:10Oh, wow, that's amazing.
03:13It's very exciting meeting these folks, people.
03:16Especially cute ones.
03:19Some will rise.
03:21We hit the run!
03:23Some will fall.
03:25Fuck!
03:26One of the most brutal driver switches in history.
03:30There are people who are willing to do anything.
03:32They're trying to get Horner out.
03:34It's in times of adversity you see who your enemies are.
03:38I won't roll over.
03:41And when the dust settles,
03:43will a new king sit on the throne?
03:46You are free to rate him.
03:48Max, he's like that bad guy in that horror movie.
03:51He keeps coming back.
03:52I hope you're ready.
03:53It's gonna be a bumpy ride.
03:58The battery's dead.
03:59Haha.
04:17Whoa.
04:19Oh!
04:19Whoa.
04:19Whoa!
04:20Whoa!
04:23Whoa!
04:24Whoa!
04:29Keep it level please, no need for any of that stuff, oh no, not a fan of this, not a
04:38fan
04:38at all.
04:41What have you put in here?
04:44Truth serum.
04:56I think we're the longest standing driver line up on the grid now, who's had the best
05:02results together?
05:04We did.
05:06Makaran of world champions.
05:10Paparan Tom.
05:12What does he say?
05:14Yeah!
05:16You're now the one to beat.
05:18Now the one to beat.
05:21Just here, let's do it again.
05:26Formula One is celebrating its 75th anniversary.
05:30For the first time in history, every Formula One team will launch their car, introduce
05:36their drivers in the same place.
05:38It'll be really interesting, because F1 teams love to one-up each other.
05:45Oh, look, there's Alpine on the river.
05:47Where?
05:48Right below us.
05:49Their budget probably only covered rowing.
06:11So, you've got the big seat now.
06:16I'm looking forward to the O2.
06:17I know that at one point we're going to be on stage, but I think it's going to be pretty
06:21cool and it's Austin to be a part of my first year.
06:26What's that big tower or, like, pyramid-looking thing?
06:29The shard.
06:31So, if you go for a fart, but you actually poop yourself?
06:34Shard.
06:35Ah, shard.
06:40Um, anyone know where the O2 is?
06:45Have you been on the underground before?
06:46No.
06:48Super efficient.
06:50That's how we roll.
06:54Alrighty.
06:55What are you doing?
06:57I think I've looked better, to be honest.
06:58I've just woken up.
06:59We need to go here.
07:01Yeah.
07:01All right, let's go.
07:02Vamos.
07:03Everything's changed this season, because I've now got, you know, an 18-year-old as
07:07my teammate, Kimi.
07:10Are these cameras with you?
07:12Yeah.
07:17You need to hold on, mate.
07:18You've definitely not been on the tube before.
07:20It's like having a new baby brother.
07:23I still can't believe he was born in 2006.
07:26Like, anyone born in the 2000s, I see as, like, eight years old.
07:30All right, we're jumping out here.
07:33All right.
07:35Watch out, mate.
07:36Fucking hell.
07:39They're all like Verstappen.
07:40They just, like, fucking smash you off.
07:42George, a good tour guide.
07:45Why?
07:45He knows the place very well.
07:48The rule in England is to stand on the right and you walk on the left.
07:52Yeah?
07:52Yeah, he says on the signs.
07:54F1 branded everywhere.
07:56Oh, there he is.
07:57Nando.
07:58He's back.
08:01Please welcome your host for F1 75 Live, Mr. Jack Whitehall!
08:10Good evening, London!
08:12You know your sport is ridiculously minted.
08:15when you book the O2 for an event to announce the colour of a load of cars
08:19that are all exactly the same as last season.
08:24I'm kind of excited to see what everyone has done, though.
08:27It's like a...
08:27Yeah.
08:28It feels like X-Factor.
08:29Yeah.
08:30As you know.
08:34Time for more, please.
08:38Watch your back, guys.
08:41It's Lewis Hamilton coming through, watch out, guys.
08:44Watch your back, guys.
08:45Ferrari coming through.
08:46They're the big dogs.
08:47I was going to do a dance, you were saying.
08:49Oh, really?
08:50It could be interesting.
08:51I want to see it.
08:54You had a good break?
08:55Yeah, yeah.
08:56It's been really, really good.
08:56Oh, it's short?
08:57Yeah.
08:58You got a kid coming, man.
08:59Yes.
09:00You excited?
09:00Yeah.
09:01Yeah.
09:01Well, I think it's going to be quite...
09:04You have to be at the end.
09:05You have to watch it coming.
09:07Wow, I'm not sure.
09:08Maybe...
09:08Maybe from...
09:09Maybe from that side.
09:11Yeah, I think I'll be the same.
09:13Yeah.
09:13I was dating a girl and her sister was having a kid, and I was there outside the operating
09:17room, so I could hear them screaming.
09:18Oh.
09:18I need to pass out and stuff.
09:20And it wasn't even my kid.
09:23Ah, here we are.
09:26Mystic.
09:27Yes.
09:28You good, man?
09:29Yeah, man.
09:30It's looking great, yeah?
09:31Well, it kind of felt like the first day of school.
09:33I mean, did you hair dry that, or what?
09:36It just stays like that.
09:37Well, I put product in it.
09:38Okay.
09:39A little bit of bleach.
09:40I got a perm.
09:41Perm.
09:43Really?
09:44Especially this year, because at school normally you always get to know new kids.
09:48Have a good winter.
09:50Yeah.
09:51We have six rookies starting a season at the same time.
09:57We haven't seen this for 15 years.
10:01It could be utter carnage.
10:07Should I put the team here?
10:10What's the name of the team?
10:12It's on your shirt.
10:18Good evening, Stake F1 team.
10:20Kick Sauber!
10:22Debbie's barking to the mic now.
10:28A little squeaky one.
10:31It was ready, that one.
10:37Sauber has Gabriel Bortoleto.
10:3920 years old.
10:41From Brazil.
10:42Formula 3 champion.
10:44Formula 2 champion.
10:46Definitely one to watch.
10:48Gabriel, your first season in Formula 1.
10:51It's amazing to see all this crowd.
10:56Ah.
10:58That's us.
10:59All we do is starting now.
11:02Let me hear it for Isaac real quick!
11:05When we look at what the Racing Bulls are doing this year, signing up, Isaac Hadjar.
11:10Really impressive in his junior career and has always shown an incredible burst of pace.
11:16At the moment I still don't have a clue how I'm going to perform.
11:20See you on the track!
11:23Good night, London!
11:25Relaxed.
11:26It's quite chilled.
11:28Jack Doohan, from Australia, didn't win the title in Formula 3 or Formula 2.
11:35But he's the first Alpine Academy driver to be promoted to a Formula 1 seat.
11:40Jack, first time F1 driver. How does that feel?
11:43Yeah, it feels amazing.
11:45Just want to say good evening and thank you all so much for coming.
11:47It's what I've dreamt of all my life.
11:50So to be finally doing it, living it, it's a great feeling.
11:55Do you think we can take it on stage?
11:58But it's not even warming you up me.
12:00Do you want me to hold it?
12:01No, it's warming my face.
12:02Yeah? Okay.
12:02I'll try and put on a brave face, but I am a bit nervous to go out in front of
12:06that many people.
12:08You have ten seconds.
12:11Oli Behrman, 19 years old, from Great Britain.
12:15He's part of the Ferrari Driver Academy, highly regarded.
12:19And looking to prove himself this year driving for Haas.
12:25The car looks fast. Hopefully it's good looking.
12:29As fast as it looks.
12:31For the rookies, the first year is brutal.
12:35It's scary.
12:36So if you cannot deal with the truth, it's not your place.
12:43It's a lot different, the car.
12:45It's a big difference.
12:47Really?
12:47It's a different car.
12:50And it's like the Italian accent.
12:53So it's like, you know...
12:54You know, having all the other drivers and some of my heroes as well,
12:59it's quite surreal because I've been always used to see them on TV.
13:06It is now time to introduce a very special moment for a very special team.
13:19Oh my god.
13:20It's red.
13:21I was going to say the same thing.
13:25Looks like someone spilled some fucking yogurt over him.
13:29This is it.
13:31The moment we've all been waiting.
13:35The reveal.
13:44It's the GOAT.
13:47There you go.
13:47It's good.
13:56How you doing, London?
13:59We good?
14:01Charles, what would be your wife for the season?
14:04Um, if I have to choose one word, I was going to say fulfillment.
14:10Fulfillment?
14:11Fulfillment?
14:11There's no way he's come up with that.
14:12Someone just told him to say that.
14:14He was going over in his head.
14:15This is a great game, Alan.
14:16Fulfillment.
14:16Please, again, make some noise for Fred, Charles and Lewis!
14:23Lewis moving to Ferrari was the key that unlocked the door to the mayhem of silly season
14:30and all of the driver moves that we saw for 2025.
14:34This year will be good for everyone.
14:36It needs to be a good fight.
14:38Ready for you.
14:39Ready for us.
14:41Already?
14:46Not even ready, guys.
14:48Mate, you want to watch on?
14:50Of course there are question marks for Mercedes.
14:54Replacing Lewis Hamilton with a school kid.
14:59You know?
15:01It's going to be fun.
15:04Welcome to England, mate.
15:07Lewis stepping out means new opportunities.
15:09Now we can put someone in the car that has the real potential in becoming a great one.
15:16To fight the McLaren for championships.
15:19Man, I'm not used to this, eh?
15:21Exciting stuff.
15:23Hold on.
15:23Let's do it.
15:25I need to do a kind of warm-up, you know?
15:28Pre-session warm-up.
15:29I'm very, very nervous.
15:31I'm quite a shy person.
15:33And there are going to be a lot of people.
15:39Kimi Antonelli, Italian, young driver on Mercedes-Burks.
15:49Definitely is a lot to get used to.
15:52It's incredible to see so many of you here tonight.
15:57Yeah, I mean, it's a privilege to be where I am today.
16:02Mercedes decided to skip him past Formula 3 and straight into Formula 2.
16:07And brought him into Formula 1 at the first possible opportunity.
16:12Is it too much too soon?
16:21Liam Lawson is technically still a rookie because he has not raced a full season.
16:27He does have more experience than his fellow rookies.
16:31But the expectations on him from Christian Horner and Red Bull are extraordinary.
16:39How are we going?
16:40Very good.
16:45I'm always ready for a fight.
16:48Losing in the Constructors' Championship.
16:50One more for luck.
16:51That hurts.
16:53There you go, Red Bull!
16:56Well done.
16:58Max won the Drivers' World Championship last year.
17:01But the one that means the most to the teams is the Constructors' Championship.
17:05Because that is how the money is distributed in Formula 1.
17:09But last season...
17:13We're out, Checo.
17:14Our second driver, Checo, has formed just nosedive.
17:18If we keep going like this, we're fine.
17:21You know, we can't just be a one-car team.
17:23We need both cars up there scoring points.
17:27So when the doors open, we just...
17:30The car goes and we walk with you.
17:32Yeah.
17:32And then you're going to tap us and we're going to walk to the...
17:34Yes, straight.
17:35And the people behind us, or will we just be dancing and going crazy?
17:37Okay.
17:39I mean, if you want to dance as well, I mean...
17:41Liam, go for it.
17:42Go for it.
17:43It's your Magic Mike moment, you know?
17:45Yeah, oh!
17:45Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
17:50Oh, shit, I didn't mean to do that.
17:55You are supposed to do that, though.
17:56Liam Lawson, driver for Oracle River Racing.
18:03Okay, Liam.
18:04It's looking good.
18:05Liam, when he got the opportunity last year in our junior stable,
18:09the Racing Bulls,
18:10he grabbed it, and I was very impressed with that.
18:13It was 0.5 points.
18:15So, Perry's just ahead of you.
18:17Careful.
18:19Yeah, thank you.
18:21I think Liam Lawson just gave Paris the finger.
18:24Liam's got that racing DNA, that racing spirit
18:27that sets us apart from our competitors.
18:30He's the man.
18:37McLaren are the team to beat this year.
18:39But don't underestimate the opposition.
18:42One second, Red Bull is up now?
18:44Yeah.
18:45Where's Christian?
18:46Yeah, what?
18:46Isn't Christian with us?
18:47No, he's basically doing his speech at the intro.
18:51Please welcome...
18:52...team principal Christian Horner!
19:08Well, it's fantastic to be here in the O2 anyway,
19:12so I hope you're all having a good evening.
19:21Red Bull!
19:23...winning his fourth consecutive World Championship.
19:29When you become a serial winner,
19:32the crowd and the audience, they don't want to see that.
19:35In Formula One, there's this element of pantomime.
19:39You know, we're now like the Kardashians on wheels,
19:41but I'm way past even caring what other people think.
19:47I think we're going to get a lot of booze.
19:50No, you're not.
19:51Nothing's going to work.
19:52I don't give a fuck, yeah.
19:55So is somebody going to show us the way?
20:01To go up there and then come sit down next to your team,
20:04your sponsors, that I'd be pretty uncomfortable.
20:09It didn't help that he went up there on stage, like,
20:13I'm going to rock the room, and then the room rocked him.
20:18It's like you have to be the pantomime villain, though.
20:21What?
20:21You know, in the pantomime, you have the villain and the...
20:27It's pretty good.
20:38We are different, and that's what makes us who we are.
20:43This isn't a popularity contest, it's Formula One.
20:46And you're judged on the result sheet at the end of the day.
20:50It's easier to be the hunter rather than the hunted.
20:54And, of course, for us, anything outside of total domination,
20:58you know, is not good enough.
21:02All the pre-season chatter.
21:05It stops now.
21:07The beginning of the Formula One World Championship
21:10here in Australia.
21:13Round one of 24.
21:21Holy...
21:22Let's go!
21:26Hi.
21:27It's quite high numbers.
21:28Yeah.
21:29First Grand Prix this year is returning
21:31back to the hometown of Oscar Piastri.
21:36What a beautiful day.
21:39And, of course, as a driver,
21:41I'm here to kind of go out and do my own thing.
21:46I want to win.
21:48Passes again.
21:52I don't have it.
21:54He hasn't got his pass on him.
21:56He hasn't got in.
21:57He should be able to go in.
22:00He's got to drive the car.
22:02But he's the F1 driver.
22:07All right, can Oscar try to set that up?
22:08He's got to keep his legs.
22:09Sider, Rex and Mira!
22:12Woo!
22:14Woo!
22:16Woo!
22:16Woo!
22:20It's a fresh start for all of us, you know.
22:28we've got different teams with different drivers so it's like a different dynamic
22:34and you don't know what to expect
22:40it's fun to have something new hey I've done it many times I've changed teams
22:44five times so I see that five times
22:49is that in my second time he keeps reminding me how that is yeah
23:08qualifying is absolutely key because it sets the grid for the race on sunday the fastest driver
23:13in qualifying takes pole position which means they start from the front of the field for the
23:18race itself the stopwatch doesn't lie it's time to show everyone what you've got
23:26now I'm in formula one I will be judged only by my performance now it's the it's the real deal
23:34let's not forget the gamble that the teams have taken on these rookies
23:38the pressure on these kids from the very first moment is so vast
23:47my main goal is to be fast I don't want to disappoint my team
23:52young drivers yeah they get time on the simulator but they don't get real world real time in the car
23:57they're not testing in between races like we used to do 15 20 years ago radio check that is good
24:06the pressure is of course very high everything that you've done prior to that is kind of forgotten
24:12i have nerves for sure i have that feeling that you know i need to perform
24:24first qualified of the year i always have nerves
24:28ready to go red bull they're used to winning they've done a lot of it but liam is very inexperienced
24:35in formula one and lando and oscar are very hungry
24:44going into qualifying it's crucial to get a good start to put the pressure on mclaren to say look
24:50you're not going to have it all your own way with liam in terms of race experience he probably had
24:57more than other rookies coming in this year toto has invested in a you know 18 year old it's a
25:05big ask
25:06on that kid mercedes without lewis hamilton could be pretty bland kimmy it's just natural you know
25:13that they continue to develop i'm really excited to see kimmy on his first laps of his formula one
25:21career now it's time to prove that investing in him was the right thing to do okay kimmy 15 seconds
25:33to
25:44great luck my dad and my mom they've been the two closest person to me
25:59my family they're really supportive and that's why i want to really make sure that i make the best
26:05out of it because i'm very young i have a lot to show and a lot to prove
26:20that's why i think the surface is all clear and he's good to go
26:30so they're all clear behind
26:45so you need to pick up the pace they need to push a little harder than expected
26:51and just be careful
26:58just stick as close to the good track position as you can
27:05pick up the pace
27:14i just dropped p16 and we'll box box
27:20we could have done better on that one
27:26all right let's push
27:34what a shame
27:36difficult start for the rookies
27:39ah no no no
27:40i don't want to give up
27:43none of them into the top 10 so far
27:48next leon lawson in the red bull
27:52i'm excited
27:54my whole life it's been my dream to to be a rebel racing from one driver
28:01this journey's properly started
28:05i've got to make the most of this opportunity
28:08you know a new season is a new dawn
28:11there's an anticipation and excitement to get back on top
28:19keep pushing keep pushing you do what you need to do
28:32okay i went wide but i'm okay
28:36uh
28:38box box that's it for liam lawson he'll start at the back
28:45out of the back please
28:46out of the back boys okay
28:48which one you ready
28:50this is lewis hamilton into turn 11
29:04i don't know what happened to me
29:07yeah top one
29:11it's lando norris who takes the opening poll of the year
29:15amazing work let's keep it up baby
29:18then it's oscar piastri
29:20uh yeah
29:22and it's an all papaya front row to start the year
29:26the world champion team on top this is so much fun
29:40for me
29:40well done all right time to break some hands
29:52from my years being teammates with lewis when things are all aligned for him
29:57i mean he's unbelievable and now he's left mercedes people thought and expected he would be the one
30:04to do something special his performance today i don't think it's anything that he or the team would
30:11have would have hoped for
30:16it's definitely been a challenge it's been it's been a lot of work to to really uh adapt to this
30:23car
30:23um so we've got work to get
30:28that was a bit of a rough one wasn't it he started well but then faded
30:35to qualify on the back row you know it's not what is expected of a red bull racing driver
30:42well liam regardless of experience levels it's down to him to deliver in formula one you've got
30:47nowhere to hide
30:50come here
30:51you all right yeah i was just done
30:59hi liam how hard is it for you to find some positives right now uh it's definitely tricky i just
31:04made a mistake and uh that basically screwed up everything so um obviously not a good start but
31:10i shouldn't be making mistakes either
31:14i just went off liam has got his work cut out demonstrating that he deserves that second seat
31:24because if he can't deliver even in that first race red bull are not going to be cutting him a
31:31whole lot
31:35of slack
31:35hey uh it was fine until i went off
31:44uh i'm quite disappointed i'm getting quite harsh on myself you know it's not the way i wanted to
31:51start my former one career yeah kimmy don't worry don't worry it's gonna be better of course disappointed
32:00with the result um kim's qualifying was a difficult one you just need to protect kimmy
32:07taking pressure off lowering the expectations so he can focus entirely on performance
32:15when we're going to put our arm around him make sure that somebody goes better
32:27who is there mark did you rest well yeah i did nice and uh how are you feeling
32:37uh i would say i've been struggling uh you know to find my rhythm
32:46but uh it felt like nothing was coming together and uh also i started to put a bit of
32:53extra pressure on myself and uh you know just driving super tense in the car and
32:58not delivering so it hasn't been easy i think it was tough but uh we need to keep that mindset
33:07of
33:07learning and growing and maturing remaining curious asking questions trying to to learn all the details
33:15i've been for the first time last year in f2 and now i find myself already in in formula one
33:21which
33:22i didn't expect to get here so so quickly i'm realizing that it's all real to be honest it's a
33:30tough one
33:31it's been more stressful than what i was thinking
33:38i really want to keep my seat for a long time i know i cannot afford any you know mistakes
33:52today a shift in weather is on the way for melbourne
33:57severe thunderstorms developing heavy rain damaging gusty winds
34:01and will promote very very dangerous conditions as a cold front moves through
34:10very sketchy there's a storm coming and the time is now for the opening race of the year
34:34we go at crazy speeds and when you hit the brakes it's just very difficult to manage in an f1
34:43car in
34:44those conditions i feel for the rookies in it it's a street track the grip's going to be extremely low
34:50visibility is going to be low um a good start to your former one rookie season i think it'll be
34:57so
34:57slippery here in the way me i did 420 grand prix starts and still have the stress you are driving
35:05a
35:05300 kilometers hour car and with another 19 drivers you know one meter apart and if you're a rookie you
35:12have this for the first time it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
35:33i think every driver wants to win their home race if i had to pick one on the calendar yes
35:37melbourne
35:47would be it
35:48i feel a bit afraid going into my first grand prix because sometimes unexpected things can happen
35:58you don't want to just lose control
36:03other things about how quick you are today it's about how smart you are you're gonna get lucky
36:07or unlikely with liam it's important for him to bounce back quickly i'm not giving up on this one yet
36:1615 years ago the last time we started a race on wet weather tires here
36:25it's gonna be a tough race you're doing a crash
36:32you know this it isn't easy just constantly thinking about what's about to happen
36:46it is time for the formation lap before the race starts they'll be looking at the extent of the pretty
36:53treacherous track conditions
36:59the rain is a nightmare okay that's how we try to warm up the tires
37:04i'm stressed about not leaving up to the expectations yeah i'm scared not to be not to deliver and uh
37:12let
37:12down everyone it's quite wet keep it steady
37:27can you get going no
37:33isaac hadjar out before we even get going that is absolutely brutal
37:43the walk of shame i feel like my career now it's over for me before it even started
37:53okay
37:54okay kimi ready for start kimi antonelli makes his debut 16th on the grid there's quite a lot of emotion
38:02it's my first time driving around another 19 cars in f1 and it's super sleepy out there with those
38:09white lines cold tires it's scary you could end badly
38:15you guys crazy hamilton begins life at ferrari in eighth
38:20okay liam restart copy liam lawson will be starting in 18th from the pit lane a little bit nervous
38:31the goal is to have a strong race but it's going to be extremely tough
38:37it's hard to come through from the back
38:44the
38:57p2 backs good job yep keep it going
39:03still pretty tricky in terms of visibility
39:21Jack Doohan, the rookie into the wall, on the opening lap.
39:27Jack, are you okay?
39:30Yep, I'm okay.
39:38Fucking hell.
39:40Oh shit, he's in the wall.
39:42It's not just the rookies.
39:47What position am I now?
39:50Yeap.
39:51I'm slow.
39:52This is pretty effective.
39:56Can we just be careful, that car's off already?
39:59Yeah, they're quite slippery.
40:01Just look at the white patches where you can.
40:05You get this butterfly effect in the storm.
40:09Lock it alive.
40:11Taking a bit more risk just to try and find the limit.
40:26Oh man, that was close.
40:32Just be careful.
40:34Car hit.
40:36Holcombberg.
40:38Let me know when it comes from the back.
40:40Everyone makes mistakes.
40:42I have to reset, focus.
40:45Okay, Kimmy.
40:46Let's go.
40:48We are really slow on the spades.
40:54A tidy pass for Attenelli.
40:57He's moved up to 12th position.
41:00Nice one, Kimmy.
41:01I like that.
41:10Feels like the wind is picking up.
41:12The rain could get pretty intense.
41:24You okay, Fernando?
41:26You okay, Fernando?
41:30So late, there's more rain building up.
41:34It's done with the car ahead.
41:35Stop it.
41:37He has 3.6 behind.
41:39It's raining again.
41:44Yeah, the tires are fucked.
41:47Good job.
41:52Fernando, Oscar is now behind you.
41:55Yeah.
41:5615 laps to go here.
41:58McLaren currently set to take maximum points.
42:04Oscar is 0.7 behind you.
42:08I get a bit of a patch.
42:11I'm fucked.
42:18Yeah, I'm still 0.7.
42:21Yeah.
42:26I'm off.
42:30Pete Astrid going into the gravel.
42:33They're both off.
42:34Off go the McLareys.
42:37Norris stays in the lead.
42:45Pete, no max.
42:48Oscar, update on condition.
42:51Oscar, if you can get going, then pit.
42:54Oscar Piastri could be out of his home Grand Prix.
43:03They're my box.
43:05Box.
43:06Copper box.
43:15People on their slicks are struggling.
43:17Made by big.
43:21Gabriel Bortoleto into the wall.
43:23Sorry, I crashed my very faith.
43:26Okay.
43:29You're currently P7.
43:31Currently P7.
43:33Lawson's now in the points.
43:35Having started way down in 18th place.
43:38Yeah, this is great, Wim.
43:39Do you want to try and survive it?
43:42Yes.
43:44I know that I have this very brief moment to prove myself.
43:47It definitely feels like, you know, that time is right now.
44:12I'm on the wall, mate.
44:15Can you feel it, Wim?
44:18Yeah, but, uh, really, sorry.
44:28Sorry, guys.
44:31Unfortunately for Liam, he makes mistakes under pressure.
44:38You know, he's, quite simply, not good enough.
44:44Car hit elbow.
44:47Copy.
44:49Now, I'm really feeling good with the car, and I'm realising that anything is possible.
44:56And I just want to get more of this feeling.
44:59And it's not over yet.
45:01I have to go for it.
45:03You have to head 0.5.
45:05And you do have the tank available.
45:08Keep pushing.
45:14Yes, mate.
45:15Nice job.
45:19Unbelievable from Kimi Antonelli.
45:21For fourth place.
45:26Back at 9 again.
45:27Yeah, P9.
45:29Behind you, you've got Charles.
45:46Hamilton 0.6 behind.
45:50Lewis Hamilton having a tough weekend.
46:03Gap ahead, 0.9.
46:05Okay.
46:07Yeah, something's off with my steering.
46:10Okay, Landon.
46:10Let's focus.
46:12Okay, final map is 0.6.
46:15Yeah, okay.
46:20Landon, the pacers in the car do not ever push.
46:24Norris has a couple of corners to go.
46:36The Australian Grand Prix is going to be win number one in 2025 for Lando Norris.
46:45What up, mate.
46:46What up, mate.
46:48He won.
46:49Great job.
46:51What up, boys.
46:53Beautifully handled.
46:54Amazing way to start the year.
46:56Thank you so much.
46:59George Russell comes home to finish on the podium ahead of his teammate.
47:04Amazing debut for Antonelli in fourth position.
47:08Wow, what a race.
47:09Mega job today, mate.
47:12Not bad for your first go.
47:14And yeah, some of those overtakes were pretty sweet.
47:17Thanks, everyone.
47:19It was a good weekend.
47:22Big time?
47:24Yeah.
47:25It wasn't great, but we keep pushing.
47:35Wow, man, I'm shaking.
47:36Good time.
47:38I was sending it.
47:39We said it was going to be very good.
47:40Yeah, yeah.
47:41Redemption.
47:42Yeah, exactly.
47:45To finish fourth place from P16, Isatron come through.
47:53And with my family there, it's a special moment to share.
47:57You need to stay away from the grass.
48:01He was one of the only rookie that survived in the wedding.
48:05First ever race in Formula One and finishing P4.
48:08That's something we can be very happy about.
48:11George Russell!
48:13Thank you!
48:16And finishing one place behind George P3.
48:19It's a very, very solid result for the team.
48:27I'm very much looking forward to trying to get to the same level as George.
48:31And I'll see my first podium.
48:35After all the question marks, for Mercedes to be level on points with McLaren,
48:40you'd actually probably argue Mercedes come out of Melbourne as, you know,
48:43the team that took the biggest win because it was so beyond, I think, even their expectations.
48:51But already it's just going horribly for Liam Lawson over at Red Bull.
49:04You know, Liam, he needs to show that, right, I deserve this seat.
49:11This is why they've chose me.
49:12This is what I'm capable of.
49:14And that's going to be enormously important for him to try and build momentum
49:17and go and attack the next race.
49:23Did something happen?
49:25Leave this fucking stadium ring.
49:27Straight.
49:28Problem is a tool.
49:30I decide what I'm doing.
49:31I decide.
49:32You've only fucked me over so many fucking times.
49:36Finito.
49:37One of the most brutal driver switches in history.
49:41I just didn't have enough time.
49:43People get used and played.
49:45I never imagined to be in this position.
49:47It wasn't my choice.
49:49He's totally lost.
50:13He's totally lost.
50:17I don't know.
50:19He's totally lost.
50:20I don't know.
50:22He's totally lost.
