00:12You
00:16We're here to fly with the blue angels
00:22I don't know if they told you I went and did two days of flying aerobatic aircraft
00:28To get myself up to speed
00:31Okay, here he is
00:32How we doing?
00:34I'm very good. How are you?
00:35Excellent. I'm James Alves. I'm the team principal for the Atlassian-Williams Racing Team
00:42Gentlemen, good morning
00:43When you're doing any kind of maneuvers that are pulling X amount of G's
00:46Tighten those glutes, tighten that core
00:47Don't hyperventilate, because then you will pass out
00:50Yeah, sure
00:51I don't want the footage to be me passed out
00:53My name is Alexander Albon
00:56I've been with Williams for
01:00Well, this is my fifth year
01:02Five minutes
01:03I'm a bit nervous
01:04A bit nervous?
01:05Yeah
01:08How much does James like planes?
01:10Uh, James loves it
01:12He likes to look at the data
01:13This is the kind of guy James is
01:15All right, here comes the canopy, he's coming down
01:19There's a big link between being in fast jets and being involved in Formula One
01:24Clear for takeoff
01:25We both need to push to the absolute limit
01:37Here we go
01:44You do know you have the best job in the world
01:47Yeah, that's a pretty good one
01:49What I enjoy about Formula One
01:50Is that from one year to the next you can have this complete topsy-turvy change
01:54And that's what we have
01:56Oh, wow, that's amazing
01:57This season
01:58I'm buzzing because there's an up-step in the team
02:01There's a strength in the team
02:05And I'm buzzing because Carlos will be here
02:10It's a victory for Carlos Sainz
02:12Here you are, baby
02:15Carlos Sainz is one of the biggest stars in Formula One
02:18One of the sports poster boys
02:20Multiple race winner
02:22This is a massive catch for James Vowles
02:26Today I'm announcing that I will be joining the Williams family
02:31Carlos had a lot of options for 2025
02:34The decision to join Williams was a surprise one
02:38Congratulations
02:39Give me a hug
02:40In the last five years
02:44Williams found themselves towards the back of the field
02:47If I sort of summarise that year so far
02:49It's not one to be proud of
02:54The Williams team having a horrible, pointless season
02:59Whatever James sold him on
03:02It has to be something pretty big
03:04And meaningful
03:09I'm really excited to have Carlos joining
03:11He had probably half the grid that he could have gone to
03:13What excited him is the journey that we're on
03:17Vision's simple
03:18We're here to win multiple world championships
03:25Nice work
03:25That was awesome
03:26Thank you so much
03:27How do you feel?
03:29I feel shaky
03:30Just thank you so much for letting us be a part of your team
03:32I'll sleep well tonight
03:33I'll sleep well tonight
03:34James has been telling the world
03:36That Williams finds itself at the dawn of a new era
03:40It's a big statement
03:42And now the pressure's on
03:44And he has to deliver
04:03British countryside
04:05Quite different to the road to Maranello
04:14I don't know
04:14One of the biggest things that I'm going to miss from Ferrari
04:17Is the food
04:18This is high performance food for athletes
04:22Bacon roll
04:25British food
04:29Food in England
04:30I would say is not the best
04:32At the same time
04:33There's three or four things that I always really enjoyed about England
04:37One is the porridge
04:40English breakfast
04:41The baked beans
04:43Apart from this
04:44There's nothing really
04:47Particularly
04:47Good about it
04:50Oh, here we go
04:52Overtake
04:54What a move
04:58Why sending us here?
05:00What the fuck?
05:02Where are you going?
05:03Where are you going?
05:03This is a fucking farm
05:05It's set to the left
05:06I know
05:09We are late
05:10On our first day to school
05:21Morning
05:24What is this I hear this morning
05:26That you're eating
05:26A egg bacon sandwich
05:29When I'm in the UK
05:30I follow the UK diet
05:31Which is the bacon bag
05:35And the sausage roll
05:36And the sausage roll
05:37I need sweet to caco
05:38This is not good
05:39I think James has pulled a blinder
05:42Getting Carlos
05:44Knowing what that can bring to that team
05:46James Fowles deserves to celebrate
05:48Do you think it will be a slightly less glamorous lifestyle
05:51Or do you think
05:52What are you saying about Williams?
05:54Rude
05:56The Union Jacks are waving
05:58Williams has got an extraordinary legacy
06:01In this sport
06:02Damon Hill
06:03Wins the Japanese Grand Prix
06:0516 World Championships
06:089 constructors
06:107 drivers
06:11114 race wins
06:13And it would just be a wonderful thing
06:16To see Williams back
06:18Winning Grand Prix's in Formula 1 again
06:20So the big question is
06:22Is James Fowles
06:24Is James Fowles
06:24The guy to do that
06:27I want this team to be successful
06:29With all my heart
06:30But I knew what I was getting myself into
06:32This will be incredibly difficult
06:34We've got to be realistic
06:36The top four are the top four still
06:38But our goal is to make sure
06:40We're moving forward from where we were last year
06:41And not fighting for eighth or ninth
06:44But I think we have it within our ability
06:45To finish fifth
06:47Go from ninth to fifth
06:49He would elevate the team to a new level
06:56Carlos is going to go on for his first run very shortly
07:00This is the kickoff
07:02Yeah, ready, it's good
07:03The team has done a very big step forward into 2025
07:13The decision of moving to Williams
07:15I think he did the right goal
07:18But I think it's still early stages
07:21Oh
07:23You have an F1 interview with the top line questions
07:26Who on the grid would be your best man?
07:27Who would you trust to cut your hair?
07:29It's really simple
07:30We do that together with Carlos
07:31Carlos is going to do it individually
07:33Because we can't get you both at the same time
07:36It's too difficult
07:37Carlos joining
07:38If anything, it's fuel
07:41It's what motivates you to extract your best
07:44And it's a great challenge to have
07:50Good job, Carlos
07:51Yeah, all good
07:53It's a new car to me
07:54But it might have good pace
07:57And I feel like I can get a good lap time out of it
08:01Oh, I'm happy
08:02All the work comes together in a few minutes
08:05Going to Williams
08:06I'm not going to lie
08:07I had doubts
08:07It's a decision that is going to be so important for my career
08:10All good
08:12It's a big step last year
08:15But I strongly believed in this team
08:18I strongly believed in James' vision
08:20And I strongly believed in myself
08:22I took his word that I'm hiring you
08:24Because I think you are the guy that needs to help me
08:27To go back to the top
08:31The new season is underway
08:38Okay, Carlos, go race when you can
08:40Go race
08:40Okay
08:48Fucking hell
08:49What happened?
08:51Oh, shit, he's in the wall
08:55Carlos signs
08:56In his first start for Williams
08:58Out of the race
09:04Alex P5
09:06Quite a
09:07Well, why do I?
09:08It's a combo
09:14Okay, Carlos
09:15That's a P40
09:20It's been a tough start to this season
09:22I'm struggling with the car
09:24And the driving stand that the car requires
09:32Alex Albon's been a revelation this year
09:38Carlos will definitely need time to adapt to Williams
09:41How we operate
09:42How we extract the most performance from the car
09:44All of that is different
09:47Let's wait to see the Williams
09:49Oh, my word
09:52That car is far too damaged
09:59It's been strange how difficult it's been adapting to a new car, a new team
10:03And, uh, yeah, it frustrates me for sure
10:12Carlos is absolutely going to take some time
10:15Carlos is absolutely going to take some time
10:15It's not just stepping from one race car to the next
10:19But, despite that, Williams have clearly come out of the box
10:22With a competitive race car
10:24P5 than the constructors
10:26But it would seem that the old hand, Alex Albon, is the one scoring most of their points
10:32And Carlos is being somewhat left behind
10:41The American
10:44The American
10:54Will we have your attention for a moment, please?
10:57Observe the seatbelt and no smoking signs
11:03Alex have you eaten anything a little bit I can offer you an avocado oh she's you that's
11:08very kind thank you feed me not many team principals feed you they want you to be as
11:14light as possible do you want a water Alex as well I'm good I'm good for water thank you
11:22I think really well done for what has happened across the beginning of the season you came
11:28swinging to the first test and the first races and I think we have to acknowledge that we are
11:34where we are thanks to you and I don't just mean in this year I mean the last few years
11:38of your
11:39hard work and dedication has put us there with Carlos being my teammate there's maybe a bit more
11:43incentive to be motivated to do well but actually most of it just comes down to if we have the
11:48opportunity to score points we must score them I think that Carlos took a bit of time to adapt
11:53it's because became in driving it more like it was a Ferrari and that actually exposed the issues
11:57far more Alex is doing brilliantly this year this is the best I've known him as a driver and with
12:07Carlos I think the transition was hard and expected but now we need two drivers to make sure that we're
12:13competing in the funds we will be landing in a few minutes please place all tables in the five
12:19star position Miami there are golf courses here that are like a million dollars to join
12:31Miami's been an incredible addition to the Formula One calendar you know South Beach sunshine fun
12:41glitz glamour famous faces there's always something wild happening are we driving Lego car for real
13:00like 76,000 pieces to take me forever I could never do that after 10 minutes I will say they've
13:10made Formula One sized Lego cars and we're just gonna drive on track which um will always be chaos
13:21Miami Paredes
13:25it was awesome
13:26I've never been so close to Charles
13:29between my between my legs
13:32come on jumping
13:34come on jumping
13:36get on with it
13:37you've lost your place
13:47they nearly crashed
13:48Kimmy you look like he's doing business school
13:57this has clearly become a race now
13:59with the best fun over here
14:02whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
14:07no Lesinde
14:10I actually wasn't a LEGO kid, I had a Playmobil, it was like West Coast, East Coast, you know.
14:17Mercedes looks low.
14:20I get a volume.
14:22It gets competitive very quickly.
14:25It was always going to end badly.
14:28Oh no!
14:33Oh no!
14:34No!
14:38No!
14:41Yes! Yes!
14:43Last corner, last lap.
14:46It was chaos, but probably the best race of the season for us.
14:57How are you feeling about this qualifying expectation?
15:00The two cars in the top ten is all we should be aiming for.
15:03And I think it's possible.
15:05Just tricky.
15:06It's that first run out that we do.
15:08You're just never quite sure if something's going to go well.
15:13Go see.
15:15With Carlos, I mean, probably on reflection I was a bit naive.
15:19Asking any human being in the world to come in and instantaneously adapt is just not realistic.
15:25And we still have some performance to bring this year to make sure that he's extracting absolutely everything from himself
15:30and his engineers.
15:30And that's the area where I still see him developing.
15:34We haven't connected everything that Carlos is capable of doing yet.
15:37I know that.
15:37He knows that.
15:38The team knows that.
15:39But I'm confident Carlos will adapt to the car.
15:42And we can deliver as a team.
15:53Time to qualify once again.
15:55It is round six.
16:00Obviously, Carlos coming in, there was a lot of question marks like who's going to be the better driver between
16:05those two.
16:07And the fact Alex is sort of, you know, wiping the floor at the moment, I'm really happy for him.
16:13Carlos is extremely talented.
16:15And as difficult as it may seem on paper, I think he's very strong.
16:20And it's only a matter of time before people realize that.
16:24So I'm not worried for Carlos.
16:26He's an incredible driver.
16:30You could be beaten by a teammate almost every race.
16:34Your own confidence gets a bit of a knock.
16:36I think the challenge is more the mental side.
16:44Straight out, track is clear.
16:48Alex, good start.
16:50Let's keep the speed up.
16:51Come on, Alex.
16:56I think I have it.
16:58Yes.
17:03Alex, please.
17:05Okay, that was checked.
17:12Carlos Sainz starts a new flying lap.
17:15You have it.
17:19Sainz has gone fastest in the middle sector.
17:22Vamos.
17:23Bueno, vamos.
17:29Oh, my God, my nerves.
17:33A brilliant lap from Carlos Sainz,
17:37who jumps ahead of his teammate.
17:39That's the E6.
17:41Bravo!
17:42Bravo!
17:43Bravo!
17:47Very good to play.
17:49Yeah, that was a solid one.
17:50Yeah, it was super nice.
17:54The former Ferrari man, Carlos Sainz,
17:56ahead of his old team.
17:59PH.
18:01My God.
18:08Well done.
18:16It took me a few races to adapt to the car, but after quality in Miami, I'm feeling like the
18:23season's starting to click.
18:25I saw you on TV.
18:27Really?
18:28What was I doing?
18:29Giggling?
18:30Being excited?
18:31Yeah, I was trying to control it, but not being able to control it.
18:36Everyone's here now.
18:37Everybody's here, man.
18:38All right, everyone.
18:39Uh, we need to, as a group now, move our expectations that we should be scoring points every weekend going
18:46forward.
18:47That's a mindset shift from where we've been, but that's the capability that we have with both Carlos and Alex
18:52around us and the car that we've been delivered.
18:55Carlos.
18:56Enough talking.
18:57It's time to go racing and enjoy.
18:58Well done.
18:59Yeah.
18:59Just got to focus on execution.
19:01I think we can score points this weekend.
19:04Very...
19:04I don't wanna...
19:05I don't wanna jinx anything.
19:06Let's focus on the weekend and we'll see.
19:08Enjoy this weekend.
19:09Let's go do it.
19:09Thanks so much, everyone.
19:12In Miami, I want for Carlos that he walks away with an absolutely brilliant result.
19:18I think it would ratify his decisions and it would cement us effectively in that bond of we're here and
19:27we're here to win the car.
19:31It is now time for the main event.
19:35The Miami Grand Prix.
19:40Okay, Alex.
19:41Get my right answer.
19:43Copy.
19:47That's one minute.
19:49Okay.
19:52Qualifying is one thing, but I need to put that full weekend together to prove to Williams and to prove
19:58to myself,
19:59that I'm exactly the guy they need.
20:13Thank you, Alex.
20:14Oh, it's bad of you.
20:16Alex, want it?
20:17Yeah, I'm good.
20:25Contact me, Alex.
20:26Oh!
20:30The two Williams make contact and Albon gets ahead of Sainz.
20:37We're gonna take a bit of it.
20:38Carlos Sainz is taking the position back that he lost at the start.
20:48And here he comes, Charles Leclerc.
20:53Alex, do you want to hold this position?
21:02I could do with a bit of help from Alex.
21:09Alex.
21:10We need to maintain a gap at least a second.
21:15Alex has been in check team.
21:18That's what we're taking, so...
21:20Okay, cover that.
21:32I know.
21:33I know.
21:34I know, I know.
21:34I know, I know.
21:35Let's be the bigger one, okay?
21:39Well, Williams seem to be confusing their drivers there with poorly delivered instructions.
21:51Look after I'm having turned off the eye now.
21:54Carlos Sainz under big pressure from his old teammate and the man who replaced him.
22:00Am I catching?
22:01Go ahead, my dish.
22:05Maximum pace, please.
22:14Carlos Sainz tumbles down to ninth position.
22:18Nice.
22:18We're compromised at the race here.
22:22What the fuck is that being impossible?
22:26Thank you, Alex.
22:28He died.
22:34Lovely job.
22:35Good!
22:37Yes!
22:37Yeah!
22:44For the second flight, nine for you, Alex.
22:48Five.
22:50That's not how I go racing, guys.
22:51I don't care.
22:53I've lost a lot of confidence here.
22:55On everything.
23:21We need to tighten up as a team.
23:23They gave the instruction to the cars very poorly, very loosely it needs to be if you're saying stay in
23:29the position
23:29Stay in the position
23:38The end result was not the one I wanted
23:42And it happened in a very frustrating manner and it was purely down to poor execution
23:56We made a mistake some of our areas are simply not at the level. We need to be
24:14Tienes el la dirección tú si se nota el martínez
24:23Miami en ese sentido fue un desastre
24:28Salió todo mal
24:31No es solo ir rápido con el coche sino también saber ejecutar los fines de semana bien
24:36Es que obviamente el equipo le falta
24:40Le falta volver a coger esa experiencia. Para mí lo importante es para cuando el coche esté
24:46Como en Miami, pues no volver a hacer las cagadas que se hicieron
24:52Ya madame que lo hace
24:56Ahora estamos aquí para tomar fotos
24:59¡Párate para cámaras!
25:01¡Hora!
25:03¡Hola!
25:05¡Hola!
25:07Esa es una この tiempo en mi carrera
25:09Durante los últimos años en la cuana ha trabajado bien
25:13But at the same time, it's a very short-term memory sport.
25:18Your stocks are pretty much decided on the race-by-race.
25:23I'm just trying to prove to everyone what I'm worth.
25:28How are you? How are you?
25:29How are you? And again, I've met him before.
25:33Carlos. That was Carlos, you guys.
25:37It's very exciting meeting new sportspeople,
25:40especially cute ones.
25:49I always struggle with the neck.
25:54F1 neck.
25:56That's nice.
25:58And look in the way. Perfect.
26:01And just work on the attitude a little bit.
26:04Now you're handsome.
26:07Now it's better.
26:07For this year, my expectations need to re-adapt.
26:13Have I not? At Formula One.
26:15Maybe we are. Yes, probably.
26:17I'll miss the podiums.
26:21I'll miss the celebrations.
26:24I'll miss being on a headline because I've won.
26:29I remember the feeling still very fresh in my head.
26:33I want to make sure I'm back, back to that as soon as possible.
26:39We need to go.
26:40We need to go, guys. Come on, please.
26:42I need money today.
26:48Carlos! Carlos! Carlos! Carlos! Carlos!
26:54Carlos, your pace is good.
26:56Keep doing what you're doing.
26:58It's something.
26:59It's something.
27:00It's something that's right with the first of the car.
27:04Williams with their least competitive outing of the season.
27:07That was not the race you wanted.
27:14It's a really good luck.
27:17It's all the fuck well done.
27:19Trust is everything.
27:21Particularly when you've asked a driver to believe in the process.
27:26To believe in the dream.
27:28That Williams are not going to be toiling around at the back.
27:30That they can be fighting at the front.
27:33Yes, I can address.
27:35But it just hasn't worked out that way.
27:38Yeah, they fluff this at Williams.
27:40Through this street.
27:42Down to the chemical.
27:44Yeah, we've got issues with the EU about...
27:46Don't let you retire, just watch the cars behind you.
27:50Back-to-back retirements for Williams.
27:52They're having a bit of a blip.
27:54James, he's got to try to find a solution.
27:57We've been actually still not good enough.
28:00We're pretty confident.
28:02What we've got now is wrong.
28:03By a fairly big margin.
28:05We are still not championship-level material.
28:09But what is the potential?
28:11Can you get into the points?
28:12Can you get good points?
28:14I don't know.
28:15I don't care.
28:16I'm too upset right now.
28:18Williams are rebuilding.
28:20But they're not at a position where they can fight for podiums yet.
28:23They're not even at a place where they can consistently compete for points.
28:32We are counting down to the formation lap here in Austria.
28:38Something is stopping the car from moving forward.
28:42Standby, standby, standby.
28:44Critical.
28:47The select should know what's going on.
28:49The brakes are going to be fired.
28:51Come and pull them.
28:56Come on, fucking cool the brakes.
29:00Be ready, put it.
29:07Game over.
29:09Carlos Sainz will not take the lights.
29:12In Austria, it was a painful memory that we etched in my brain forever.
29:17A race where we could have performed very well.
29:20Is it bad luck or are we creating environments that make it difficult to perform at that level?
29:25Bunch of shit.
29:28James would really have had to have sold Carlos the dream to get him to sign that contract to join
29:35him at Williams.
29:36Yet that dream just hasn't turned into reality yet.
29:47James really has to get a handle on this situation if Carlos is going to stay at this team for
29:54the long term.
29:58We're fully committed with the team and that's our full focus but if an opportunity comes to join another team
30:06then obviously we will have to analyze it and decide.
30:11Joder.
30:26Do you sleep properly?
30:28Yeah, I had a good sleep.
30:30Carlos's frustration is normal and my job is to make sure we provide the right environment for him to want
30:36to be here, I hope, for the rest of his career.
30:46Good. Thank you.
30:50So, we're fifth in the championship.
30:52We haven't maximized our point score yet either.
30:53That's the frustrating thing.
30:54We could be even further ahead than this again.
30:57But we're fifth.
30:59You're a man of your work, and the car is clearly quicker.
31:02Yeah.
31:02But also, we've done a lot of mistakes.
31:05As a team, we are further behind more than what I expected.
31:10The moment you start fighting top end of the midfield
31:14and sometimes mixing it up with Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull,
31:18it exposes that we're also behind in race execution.
31:23This is team culture in the end.
31:25This year, we're letting P5, P6, P8 slip from our hands pretty easily,
31:32which honestly puts me in a position
31:34where I'm sometimes obviously frustrated because still it's points.
31:39I agree, though.
31:40I think this year has highlighted how hard it is.
31:42With this many things, they're still not right.
31:44The second half of the season needs to be a clear step forward.
31:48Agreed.
32:02Carlos' comments were apt and spot on.
32:04We're not at championship level anywhere.
32:07How's it all going?
32:08It's been tough.
32:09Yeah, we're getting through it. The boys are working hard.
32:12So we've had honest straight talks about what isn't working
32:15and what we need to change.
32:18We'll be redeveloping our systems, processing structures.
32:21Communication methods are working.
32:23We're under pressure as we expect,
32:25but this is when we're expected to deliver.
32:27And this isn't about apportioning blame.
32:29It's about understanding what we can all do better with ourselves,
32:32with the kit that's around us.
32:33And ultimately, that makes a faster and better team.
32:36As a team principal,
32:38making a race-winning Formula One team
32:41takes an awful lot of hard work.
32:43Trying to find a bit more performance.
32:45Good. Just need to move quicker.
32:46It's like an orchestra.
32:48You are trying to get every single member
32:50playing their part in complete harmony,
32:53and that is not an easy feat.
32:56It takes time, it takes effort.
32:59It takes making sure every single part
33:02of your organisation is operating
33:05at its absolute peak performance.
33:08It's good.
33:09But the ambition needs to be much bigger.
33:18All right.
33:18The other day he talked with James,
33:19the team is starting to work better.
33:23Nice.
33:24It's a matter of time,
33:25it's a matter of patience.
33:26In some moment, it has thought.
33:28It has to be changing.
33:29Look, I was 10 years old in Formula One.
33:32I don't remember a year
33:35where I went in so many different things.
33:38It reminds me a little bit
33:412019, the first year in McLaren,
33:43that we came to go fast,
33:45we didn't get results,
33:47and in fact, the circuit where it changed everything was in Baku.
33:50It was in Baku.
33:50What do you remember?
33:52And suddenly, it was a good result,
33:54and from there, it changed everything.
33:55It's true.
33:57We've done everything possible for it to work.
34:01We've got to change it.
34:03Well, you know,
34:04you've demonstrated many times
34:06that you're trusting in your way of doing things
34:09and keeping your head down,
34:12centered, doing your own.
34:14It's what I say to myself.
34:17As soon as it goes fast, the other will arrive.
34:20Let's go.
34:32Baku is a high speed street circuit
34:35where the walls just close in on you.
34:38The drivers are driving around that
34:41at 300 kilometers an hour.
34:47So, child, time for push-push.
34:49OK.
34:58Ferrari's weekend has gone down the pan here.
35:03Nobody quite knows what's going to happen in Baku.
35:08Take care for the turn. Bye.
35:15Are you OK?
35:17Yeah.
35:17I'm going to get out.
35:27What's the same?
35:30Everyone is giving me absolutely everything.
35:33The hours that people have been pushing,
35:36not for one month, not for one week.
35:37People want this team to be successful
35:40with all their heart and all their might.
35:41Alex Alvin, a former F2 winner on these streets.
35:46Baku's dirty, it's oily, it's windy.
35:49All the corners are very, very similar,
35:52but they're not the same.
35:55Crack is so dirty.
35:58It's kind of a recipe for mistakes, really.
36:06Oh, fuck.
36:09Oh, I'm out.
36:11Sorry.
36:13Oh, disappointing there for Williams,
36:16but they still have a chance with science.
36:19Carlos' season is such a funny one.
36:22You know, coming into Baku, he hasn't...
36:24hasn't scored points in, what is it, six races now?
36:27That's a horrible run to be on.
36:29And as each week passes by, it makes you question
36:33whether Carlos has made the right move.
36:35The only thing missing here is maybe a bit of diff, you know?
36:38Yeah.
36:39Yeah, no, this is... I need to open early.
36:43Yes.
36:43I felt like in Ferrari, we were already close to a championship-winning level.
36:51Here, it helped the team to realize how much we need to improve still.
36:57If we want to go back to winning.
37:05Pushing.
37:06Can I go here?
37:11I don't see this good place.
37:13Go up, Steve! Look out!
37:15That was very quicker than signs on this lap.
37:19In Baku, I'm feeling something different, something special.
37:24I believe that life sometimes gets tougher before something good is about to come.
37:53I don't think you can overstate what an impactful performance that is.
37:59I don't think you can overstate what an impactful performance that is.
38:00But you don't score points for qualifying.
38:09Morning. Morning, mate.
38:12Eh...
38:12Esto me lo llevo al circuito.
38:17¿Se has cansado bien?
38:19No, man.
38:21I'm being P2. I'm in the front row.
38:23Morning.
38:24I'm trying to think positively.
38:28For me, it's just the opportunity to prove to myself and to prove to everyone,
38:33the whole paddle, that I'm going to overcome not being in Ferrari anymore
38:37and that I'm going to create something good with Williams.
38:43It's a mixed-up grid. We could be in for absolutely anything.
38:50The team hasn't been fighting for podiums for many, many years.
38:55But we're in a strong position.
38:58This really is about a thousand individuals all pulling together.
39:11I'm as focused as possible, focusing on having the fastest possible reaction to the lights.
39:19I'm thinking in the first couple of corners in Baku,
39:22it's never easy to get through those three corners safely.
39:26And I'm just telling to myself that everything's going to be all right.
39:3230 seconds.
39:34Alex Albon clipped the wall and he's in 19th.
39:49Good start from Max Verstappen, who chops across sides.
40:05I've lost the first place in the wall on just five.
40:09Copy.
40:12I've lost.
40:13I have to make a better ball.
40:22Fee just close with Berkey.
40:30I've lost.
40:37Signs feeling the heat from Russell.
40:39Pits first.
40:43Race picture update.
40:47Will be VoxxVox in this lap.
40:55Quick-stop needed here if he's to hold that position.
41:01This last is going to be closed with Russell.
41:03Get ready.
41:04Copy.
41:17Russell and Mercedes, Pip, Sainz and Williams to second.
41:24This podium could be slipping away for Sainz.
41:28Kimi closing in fast.
41:30We have seven laps remaining.
41:34It's the GAM head 1.4.
41:36It's the Sainz, it's the P3 ahead.
41:39So there's podium in it for you, mate.
41:41Copy.
41:43And then you will use all the tech.
41:45We just have a push.
41:47Venga, coño, venga.
41:51Now we're in love.
41:53Two laps remain.
41:55Push on the exit last corner.
41:58You're racing up 320, 330 kph.
42:04So I'm just focusing on making zero mistakes.
42:10Vamos!
42:15Vamos!
42:17Vamos!
42:20Vamos!
42:20Carlos Sainz takes the final step on the podium.
42:25Vamos!
42:28Vamos!
42:30Vamos!
42:30Best podium in my career, guys.
42:32You cannot imagine how this tastes.
42:34Carlos, vamos!
42:35Absolutely incredible.
42:36Come on.
42:36This is the beginning of something great.
42:39Thank you so much.
42:42This is my first.
42:43Smooth operation in Williams.
43:11I'm just really happy.
43:12I'm feeling like I'm just meant to be here fighting for these podiums.
43:17I needed Williams, Williams needed me, and together we just feel in a good place.
43:23That's why I can call this a home, and now we can start building on even better things.
43:30Well done.
43:31Thanks for coming down.
43:32Appreciate it.
43:32I'm not going to lie.
43:34I wish I was the one to score the podium, but to see the team get that result, to see
43:39how much they enjoy it, to share that moment with everyone was very special.
43:48What meant the world to me was seeing the team rewarded for their belief in me, their belief
43:54in our journey.
43:57It's showing them that we are on the right track, and that our future is bright.
44:01We're on a good path.
44:09Mercedes and Ferrari are the two teams that kind of have their ups and downs.
44:13Let's all keep up.
44:14Self-doubt can creep in.
44:16I feel very ashamed of my performance.
44:19It was crying.
44:21It's crunch time.
44:22The most important thing is to never give up.
44:25Vegas is a mega event.
44:27We won race in America we haven't won.
44:30Off to work.
44:32You guys arrived.
44:34It's after whatever I got to do.
44:35Man!
44:37The handle is just dialed in, isn't it?
45:08I'm running aindustrie for my life.
45:09I'm starving, isn't it?
45:10It's after an hour.
45:10We can pass to this guy around the office and we can be getting to get the
