00:23What are you doing here?
00:25What I tell you, what you do in my house, go out.
00:34It's the guard, you know?
00:36It's the bodyguard of the house.
00:38When you arrive in the house, you need to talk with this guy or this guy to go in.
00:42It's a solid coat.
00:44I don't think so. Look, it's not so solid.
00:49This is some funny picture.
00:52This is me, in different situations, you see?
00:56You like that, eh, bad man?
00:58This is Garibaldi.
01:00My favorite, eh, Che Guevara.
01:05You know, I sure was not the boring life.
01:11My name is Travio Briatore.
01:13I'm the advisor of the channel at Renault.
01:16And the name of the team is Alpine.
01:19Hi, guys.
01:23When I started Formula One with Benetton, I signed Schumacher.
01:28And we went to the championship with him.
01:30And this was only possible.
01:33Because I fired Moreno.
01:37And Renault, we went to the championship with Toronto.
01:40All because I replaced Tenso Battles.
01:43Did you enjoy firing people?
01:45I still enjoy if the people are not doing the job, you know?
01:50Whatever business you're doing, everybody follow the leader.
01:54And managing Formula One people is exactly the same.
01:58Sometimes you want the stick and beat everybody in the head.
02:03Flavio was known as a very controversial character.
02:06He was one of the most ruthless team bosses in Formula One history.
02:11Last season, I came back to Formula One to help the team from the bottom of the championship.
02:17This year, what they're looking for is to finish in the first six.
02:22In the 1990s and 2000s, Flavio gave Formula One some brilliant world champions.
02:28He's the last of the old guard who plays hard on and off the track.
02:32But how much do those old ways still ring true in the modern era?
02:37I'm not a dictator, but you do whatever I tell you to do.
02:41And if somebody is not in the same direction, it'll be out. Simple as that.
02:50To win!
03:06Give me like a beat.
03:13like Pierre Gasly, gangster from France, Normandy.
03:19This season, Jack Doan is my teammates.
03:22He's a rookie, so it's always difficult coming in with no experience.
03:26But he's a great dude, honestly. I really like him.
03:29Australian, very chilled. It's a good chance for him.
03:33We're going to reveal the livery to team sponsors and media.
03:36And myself.
03:37And you, for the first time.
03:44Fuck it, let's run it.
03:46It's better like that.
03:47Jack Doan, Formula One driver for BWT Alpine Formula One team.
03:52Bang.
03:53My aspirations this season are to show what I can do
03:57and obviously prove my worth.
03:59You two will be the ones revealing the car.
04:01OK.
04:02And then it's the reserve drivers.
04:03The band. The band of reserve drivers.
04:05They can play.
04:06They can sing drums and guitar.
04:10How are you?
04:11Good to see you.
04:12How are you?
04:13Good.
04:13Reserve drivers, we've got a few.
04:16We can probably put a football team together, so...
04:21Oh!
04:23Why are there so many drivers?
04:26Every team has reserve drivers in case the lead drivers can't race.
04:32Like this season, in typical Flavio style.
04:35He's set about signing up pretty much every young driver they could find.
04:39And they're just waiting in the wings.
04:41To the new ones.
04:43It's great to have you here.
04:44You're the only RJ team.
04:46I'm the only one.
04:47You were a lot better than I thought.
04:48Yes.
04:51I'm Franco Lapinto, BWT Alpine Formula One team reserve driver.
04:56Last year in Williams was a great start to my iPhone career.
05:02Good luck.
05:03That was amazing.
05:05Franco Colapinto, Argentina's first blitz scorer since 1982.
05:13Get ready, okay?
05:15It's super to have Colapinto in the team.
05:18Everybody pushing for Franco, Colapinto, Franco, Franco.
05:21Yeah.
05:21But in this moment we have a jack in the car.
05:25So, you know, we see.
05:27Okay, can we make one?
05:28Just the official drivers, please.
05:31As a rookie, I think, you know, if you underperform, your future's at stake, for sure.
05:36It is a bit sink or swim.
05:37I just focus on myself.
05:39Drive my race car as fast as I can.
05:42Are the reserves done?
05:43Yep.
05:44Well, stay here in case you're caught up on.
05:46I'm only a reserve driver, but I want to be driving again.
05:49That's why I came to a team.
05:52And for me to be in, someone needs to live.
05:54So, I would be happy to take the seat of anyone.
05:57That's the reality.
06:01They want to do a selfie with Flavio.
06:03Oh, yeah, yeah, great, great, of course.
06:04For decades, Formula One team principals have been termed the Piranha Club
06:09because they are ruthless.
06:11They will chew you up and they will spit you out.
06:17And for Flavio, who knows what it is to operate within this Piranha Club,
06:22when one of his drivers has a couple of bad races,
06:25they're on thin ice.
06:32Jack could be replaced at any moment by one of these reserves.
06:36So, he has to impress Flavio if he wants to keep his seat.
07:06You got to watch your back in this sport.
07:08So, the Piranha Club is, I'd say, a pretty accurate description.
07:13Pretty much everybody is trying to fuck each other.
07:22Somebody's talking to him for a song.
07:23Yeah.
07:26Piranhas are small little fishes to bite.
07:29How many drivers have you got these days?
07:31He's got, like, a football team.
07:33There's a lot of skullduggery that goes on.
07:38We're here to win.
07:40It's better to kill than to be killed.
07:43If these weekends don't kill you, nothing will.
07:52Jonathan?
07:52Yeah?
07:54Are you a member of the Piranha Club?
07:57Who told you that?
07:59Just one day.
08:00Am I a member?
08:00I don't know.
08:01I don't think you're a proper member unless you're in the WhatsApp group.
08:04Oh, dear.
08:04You still haven't arrived, really, have you?
08:07Jonathan Wheatley.
08:08Team Principal, Stake, F1 Team, Kicksalber.
08:12And if I knew I had to write that much, I'd have printed it out before I got here.
08:22Action.
08:27Good morning.
08:28Good morning.
08:30I think that's yours.
08:31That's yours.
08:32That's mine.
08:33It's been a roller coaster, hasn't it, really?
08:34Yeah, I've only been here a couple of months.
08:36It seems like a heartbeat to go now.
08:39This is my first season for Sauber.
08:41But I started as a mechanic with Benetton, and I worked my way through the ranks, ending
08:47in sporting directive at Red Bull.
08:49Who'd have thought that back in 1991?
08:52I know.
08:53It's incredible, isn't it?
08:54There's so many people still there from those days.
08:56You know, Flavio.
08:58Big personality.
08:59Oh, yeah.
09:01And he was terrifying when you were a 20-year-old mechanic.
09:04Flavio was my boss for a very long period of time.
09:07I learned so much from him, but he could be incredibly intimidating.
09:12The way I work is different to that.
09:15My approach is to really believe that a team can achieve incredible things and create a
09:22culture where positivity is the norm, you know, because in a positive culture, I mean,
09:27it's extraordinary.
09:28It makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck to work in a Formula One team where
09:32everything's pushing in the same direction.
09:37This year, our driver lineup is tremendously exciting.
09:46Okay.
09:47Nico Halkenberg, stake F1 team, kick Sauber.
09:52I think at the moment, currently, I'm the third longest serving driver, obviously behind
09:57Fernando and Luis.
09:58I think Jonathan's a strong leader for the team.
10:01He's been in the business, I don't know, 30, 35 years, something like that.
10:05So, obviously, he brings a lot of experience to the table.
10:09It's, yeah, an interesting dynamic this year.
10:12I have a new teammate, Gabriel.
10:14He's a new kid on the block.
10:16He's in his rookie season.
10:18If you don't mind taking that seat over there.
10:21It's like a job interview.
10:22Please, take a seat.
10:24Tell me, what makes you think you're suitable for this job?
10:28I'm Brazilian.
10:30I love me.
10:31You're in.
10:32You're in.
10:33I'm Gabriel Bortoleto.
10:35I'm racing for stake F1 team, kick Sauber.
10:39Sometimes it feels a bit scary to get to Formula One.
10:42There are so many things to learn.
10:44Talking points for the weekend.
10:46The focus is on optimizing the package in terms of stability and downforce.
10:51I'm a rookie, you know.
10:53There's a lot of pressure on our shoulders and it's not easy.
10:58We also believe that we have the potential to challenge four points here in Miami.
11:02This season, we started in a very difficult way.
11:05We know we are struggling.
11:08But Jonathan is very calm.
11:10What have you been doing, the loss?
11:11I had a couple of days off to spend with my family.
11:13So it's good.
11:14Recharge energy.
11:15Reconnect.
11:15See my nephews.
11:17He's a great guy.
11:18He's been supporting me a lot.
11:19Any questions on that?
11:21Oh, good to know.
11:22All clear.
11:23And obviously, I have a strong teammate.
11:25Have you any idea where you might end up performance-wise this weekend?
11:29Golden question.
11:31I do not know, to be honest.
11:33You tell me.
11:35Doesn't look good.
11:37Currently, the team is not competitive enough.
11:40And in these situations, for a rookie to come into Formula One, it is difficult.
11:45We just need to see the points so I can improve and do a better job myself.
11:50People don't perform immediately.
11:52As a team, we're taking a long-term view.
11:57Jonathan Wheatley's coming into a team that's been in a very tricky situation,
12:01with no experience of being a team principal.
12:04But he has a chance to prove himself.
12:07And what better way than by beating his old boss?
12:11Flavio's been here now about eight to nine months.
12:13What are you made of him as a character, as a personality?
12:17There's no BS. There's no mucking around.
12:19You find out what's going on very, very quickly.
12:22The beginning of the season was not fantastic.
12:26It's like a big accident in Australia.
12:42Very big accident in Japan.
12:46Very big accident in Japan.
12:58Are you okay, mate?
13:01I'm okay, yeah. What happened?
13:04Every time you crash, it's a mistake.
13:07I hope it's done. I hope it's done very quickly as well.
13:11Do you understand why you are the target of all this noise about your future?
13:19I think this is how it is for my time right now.
13:23And for sure I will benefit from it more than anything and more than anything else.
13:30I'm so sorry. We've got to go. We've got to go to the broadcast.
13:34Come on.
13:34Sorry. Cheers, guys.
13:36Thank you, guys.
13:37All the best, Jack.
13:38Thanks, sir.
13:39Rumour from the one is what you have every day, you know, it's full of rumour about anything,
13:47about everything.
13:49Be careful to keep the car in that truck, not over-driving the bloody car.
13:53Keep this fucking steering wheel.
13:57Obviously, there's a lot of rumours. It isn't easy. It's kind of like just saying like,
14:01fuck them all, you know what I mean? Like, fuck all this. Just crack on with you and that's all
14:06that you can do.
14:08There's been so much shit in the press over the last two, three months. It was kind of insane.
14:16You've got to focus on what you can control, getting in your zone, so...
14:20Yeah.
14:21Everybody's talking about Jack being replaced, and I feel for the guy,
14:26because everybody's talking about him in a way which is, you know, quite toxic.
14:3522 years old, it's not easy to deal with this sort of, you know, pressure, attention, bad press.
14:47On top of all this, I got serious death threats for this Grand Prix,
14:50saying they're going to kill me here if I'm not out of the car.
14:54I had six or seven emails saying that if I'm still in the car by Miami,
14:59that I'll be, you know, all my limbs will be cut off.
15:03Wednesday, I'm there with my fucking girlfriend and my trainer,
15:05and I've got three fucking men, like, armed men, one at that window, one there,
15:09and I had to call my police escort to come and get it under control.
15:13I'm saying whatever I want to go, I don't give a shit anymore.
15:17You just need to calm down.
15:20I'm already closed-lipped fucking 99% of the time.
15:24Anything that I hear anyway is only a third of what I'm allowed to say.
15:27It's good to show.
15:29Yeah, pretty heavy stuff.
15:30It's not the nicest way to be going racing.
15:34Yeah.
15:35No, no, no, no, no, no.
16:07It's important to understand what our friend, our Australian, is.
16:13I'm just thinking, like, fuck.
16:17I have to try and prove my worth, show what I can do, and make sure I'm not letting things
16:23out of my control get to me.
16:25What does Jack need to do to keep his seat?
16:29It's quite simple.
16:30I'm going to say, no, no crash.
16:32Simple as that.
16:40Let's try to maximise it.
16:41We will.
16:43Let's go.
16:46Gabriel is everything you need to score points.
16:49I'm not setting any targets, because he's got a tough challenge ahead of him.
16:52It's about supporting.
16:56My team trusts in my potential, so I don't want to disappoint anyone.
17:04Okay, so straight out.
17:06Okay.
17:15Gabriel Borfleto outqualified his teammate Nico Hülkenberg and starts in 13th.
17:20Radio check.
17:21Okay.
17:22Copy.
17:26Behind in 14th is Jack Dewan, who did a great job under pressure to out-qualify his teammate,
17:32Pierre Gasly.
17:34I'm just absolutely shitting myself on all levels.
17:40I really want my first points, and no matter what happens, they'll leave it all out on track.
18:02Jack Dewan going wheel to wheel.
18:04It's the first turn of the circuit.
18:10Jack Dewan makes contact with the racing bull.
18:19Jack, let's just be careful here.
18:28Okay.
18:31Out of that.
18:39What do you want to do?
18:40Jack, we're going to need to retire the car here.
18:43Okay.
18:48I don't know what I'll put it back.
18:55Doan, for the second time this season, out on lap one.
19:07Okay, Gabi.
19:08You're doing a good job.
19:09Let's keep it up.
19:10Yeah, 40.
19:10We can push as much as you can.
19:12Push as much as you can.
19:13Come on, Gabi.
19:14Come on, Gabi.
19:16Check my engine.
19:17I'm losing power.
19:21Yeah, I cannot ride like this.
19:23You'll see that line.
19:27Okay, Gabi.
19:28This is very unfortunate.
19:30We won't just start attacking in a safe place.
19:32All right, I'm switching off.
19:34Very unfortunate.
19:35You work with each other.
19:37We've lost two of the six rookies we've got.
19:44Niko, Gasly's in front.
19:46Let's keep pushing.
19:50Hold the bird, now the car behind.
19:56Around one second faster than Gasly currently.
20:02I've got more control.
20:03Pick up pace if you've got aim attack.
20:07Last lap.
20:08Last lap.
20:10Looks like Gasly's recovered some pace.
20:16Good job to keep it up.
20:22That's the checkered flag, P-13.
20:25Tough afternoon out there.
20:27I'm pretty tough weekend, fellas.
20:29Gotta figure out how to get this to performance time.
20:36That's the checkered flag, Niko.
20:38P-14.
20:40That was about all we could take, unfortunately.
20:45It's not my first rodeo, but I think you have to be humble
20:50about the challenge we have ahead of us.
20:55For Alpine and Sauber, who find themselves really
20:58at the bottom of the pack in 2025,
21:01they have to show some form of improvement.
21:04There was a lot to learn during a high-stress situation,
21:07but I still think, yeah, it's good.
21:10It means there's a lot to go through.
21:12When you take on new talent, there's a development,
21:15there's a pathway,
21:16and that's what we'll be helping Gabby with.
21:20Gabrielle's a tremendous talent.
21:23Jonathan's approach is very much arm around the shoulder,
21:27supportive.
21:29Some people might argue that it just creates a soft team.
21:33It doesn't create the sharp edges that you need to win.
21:39Other team principals embraced those sharp edges.
21:42Is there something I could do, or I didn't look like it
21:45because it was fully packed out in that turn one?
21:50Yeah.
21:54If you have a talent, you make it.
21:57Sixth race is enough.
22:01You have the chance, you need to take it.
22:12Hello.
22:14Hey, David.
22:16So, we decided to take Colapinto for the next race.
22:22Follow me, brother.
22:24Yeah.
22:28You know what I mean?
22:29I thought that it was all bullshit.
22:32Yeah.
22:33And now they get to be right.
22:35The press.
22:36The press, yeah.
22:37Yeah.
22:38That's what annoys me at night.
22:49So, unfortunately, I lost my race seat.
22:54So, very, very difficult to take and also just a bit of shock.
23:01I wasn't able to enjoy being a Formula One driver.
23:04Something that I dreamt of for so long.
23:07So, yeah, it's pretty shit.
23:09Really, really, really shit.
23:26I'm Franco Elapinto, VWT, Alpine, Formula One driver.
23:36Good morning.
23:38How are you?
23:38Yeah.
23:39All right.
23:39Welcome back.
23:40You're the man of the moment.
23:42It feels great to be back in Formula One.
23:44Flavio has put a lot of trust in me.
23:47So, I'm going to try to do my best.
23:57Franco.
23:59You need to be very careful, eh?
24:05Flavio's always been ruthless.
24:08And so, the decisions that he's making are quite reactionary.
24:12And they are intended to bring a step up in performance for a team that's sitting close to the bottom
24:20of the World Championship.
24:30Flavio's expecting Franco to be on the pace immediately.
24:49Flavio's expecting Franco to be on the pace immediately.
24:57Flavio's expecting a step up to it if he didn't recognize him.
24:57Flavio's expecting for a perfeiter.
24:57Flavio's expecting it to change his mind.
24:59And he's still getting up to it.
25:00He's still getting up to it.
25:00No울로's expecting it.
25:02So, yeah, that's the end of the day.
25:03given that I'll have to go to tomorrow, so no worries.
25:04Yeah.
25:05Sorry.
25:06No, sorry...
25:07But at this time, I don't know what to do.
25:09It's just a shit.
25:11I don't know if it's a shit.
25:13But if it's a shit, it'll break the car.
25:15It's also a shit.
25:16Yeah.
25:21Last lap, last lap.
25:29That's the checkered lights on the P12.
25:32It wasn't quite enough.
25:34Yeah, that's a shame.
25:36That's Gasly behind it.
25:38OK, and that is the checkered flag, P13.
25:41Sorry, guys.
25:43That was P16 in the end.
25:45We've got some work to do here.
25:49We are P18.
25:52At the moment, both teams are finding it tough.
25:58Alpine are just one point ahead of Sauber
26:00at the bottom of the Constructors' World Championship.
26:04Flavio's not going to be happy.
26:15I want to make a little point of the situation,
26:19to try to understand that it is not that we have been very good until now.
26:26Let's say that between the two Pierre has been the best.
26:32Now we have to recover the points.
26:34Let's try something on my car.
26:37I don't give a shit, okay?
26:39I decide what they're doing.
26:41I decide.
26:43The problem is that you have to understand,
26:47but you have to increase the performance,
26:49because it's fundamental.
26:52Flavio doesn't really mess around.
26:54If he's got to tell you something, he's very straight,
26:57which I quite like because you don't really waste any time.
27:11With the team's rookies struggling, the only realistic way to pick up significant points
27:16will be through their veteran drivers.
27:30Morning.
27:31What do you think?
27:34Hmm.
27:37Too many phones.
27:39Yeah, I know.
27:40But do you know what?
27:41It's quite nice sometimes in the evening to leave the work phone in the office.
27:44So which number I got you on?
27:47You've got both of mine.
27:50I think the summer stint could be interesting.
27:54Yeah.
27:54It's still a young team.
27:55You know, we're still knitting together.
27:58Each week on the team, I understand a little bit more how it works,
28:01the way that we go about our racing.
28:05I've been around the block with different teams,
28:08which, yeah, unfortunately never quite, you know, clicked for me.
28:11It's a fact that I've done many, many races and haven't stepped on that podium.
28:15But hopefully with Jonathan, we have a team boss that knows, you know,
28:19what it takes to develop and to grow.
28:21And I think in that respect, you know, he's a great leader.
28:25Yeah, it's just about finding the last bit, being professional there.
28:29We need to try to keep the momentum up, keep it going.
28:32I have absolutely no doubt of what he's capable of.
28:36Being a team principal, it's about helping that driver on their journey
28:41to outperform themselves.
29:02We have an incredible week ahead of us at the British Grand Prix.
29:07Not taking any drink, eh, no alcohol.
29:09No alcohol, I don't drink.
29:11No alcohol, I don't drink.
29:11I don't drink.
29:12Hi, nice to see you.
29:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:15Nice to see you.
29:16How are you?
29:17Join us with me.
29:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:18On Sauber Future Aldi.
29:20Yeah.
29:20Then I own...
29:22Sorry, Andy Cowell.
29:23Ciao, Derek.
29:24How are you?
29:25Tentable.
29:25Shit.
29:30You know, I have too many, too much, too many people, too many business.
29:34Keep life simple.
29:36Yeah, yeah.
29:37But now, yes.
29:38I'm 74.
29:39Wow.
29:39Tomorrow we go to Silverstone.
29:42It's going to be a great weekend.
29:43A little bit of rain, make it exciting.
29:46Yeah.
29:46Alpine can win.
29:47Yeah.
29:48Who knows?
29:49Well...
29:50Yeah.
29:57The difference between me and Jonathan is that we have a different experience in business.
30:03You know, I'm an entrepreneur.
30:06You need to be ruthless.
30:10But Jonathan is a nice guy.
30:15Lovely to see you.
30:16I don't think my management style is the same as Flavio.
30:22I come across as quite laid back, relaxed, pragmatic, but don't confuse kindness with
30:28weakness.
30:42How's that, man?
30:42You okay?
30:43You look good.
30:44Yeah, very good.
30:45See you behind us this week.
30:46Yeah.
30:47For Alpine and Sauber, who find themselves really languishing at the bottom this year, every
30:54position they can make up in the team championship is critical because it's worth five to ten million dollars.
31:02The weather's been all over the place, isn't it?
31:04Yeah.
31:05It's incredible.
31:06I just hope you have some fucking points.
31:08God, they ordered by this.
31:11Weekends for nothing.
31:12No way.
31:22Yeah.
31:30The team at this point in the season is under massive pressure and we've got to deliver more
31:35than we are doing at the moment.
31:38Yeah, Gasly doing a great job in qualifying, putting that car on P8.
31:43Okay, what next go?
31:45Yeah.
31:50Franco Colapinto is starting from the pit lane.
31:53He spun off qualifying yesterday.
31:56When you are in this situation, what can I say?
32:01Formula One may be a gladiator job, you know, not a little child.
32:09Good luck today, man.
32:11You okay?
32:12It's going to be tough to score points, but we're in this battle where every single tiny
32:18thing makes a difference.
32:22Can I do a trick?
32:24Can I do a trick?
32:24Can I do a trick?
32:24Can I do a trick?
32:24Can I do a trick?
32:25Gabriel Bortoleto, 16th from the grid.
32:27Nico Hülkenberg, he starts 19th.
32:32P19 on the grid, virtually last.
32:36We need to maximize every opportunity that we get.
32:4220 seconds.
32:4320 seconds.
33:02Get it.
33:05Reach it out, there you go.
33:08Looks like Colapinto has an issue.
33:10Something is broken.
33:13What the fuck?
33:15What's happening?
33:16I'm not really sure what's wrong here, mate.
33:18We're stuck in gear and we can't pull away.
33:26Oh, my God.
33:27Oh, my God.
33:32Colapinto is stuck in second gear, car stalled.
33:34He's out of the race.
33:41Okay, mate, well done.
33:42Keep your pace up.
33:44Okay.
33:45The back straight, which I've been drawing already.
33:48You can go for a race, mate.
33:50You can go for a race if you need to.
34:03Okay, Javi, are you okay?
34:05Yeah, man, sorry.
34:10Rain is coming in three laps, Nico.
34:12To your best.
34:13Of course.
34:22Bots.
34:23I'm going to the bots.
34:25How good are you, Nico?
34:27Oh, Sauber rolling the dice with an early stop.
34:34The weather always has a big impact on the race.
34:38It's very tricky to read it, to preempt it.
34:44It's a close call between hero and zero.
34:55Rain reported turn seven.
35:04That's your fucking thing.
35:07Hulkenberg using his experience to time that pit stop perfectly.
35:12We are boxed this lap, yes.
35:14Boxed this lap.
35:16The rest of the field are now forced to come in.
35:21And boxed here.
35:22Boxed, boxed.
35:23Perfect.
35:25Great job, Nico.
35:27Hulkenberg has gained significant ground, following his decisive pit stop ahead of the rain.
35:34We are currently P5.
35:39We are P6 at the pilot.
35:45Guys in front.
35:46Roll at Hulkenberg.
35:48Hulkenberg is fucking clean.
35:50How the heck is your camp there from last?
35:54Crazy.
36:03Max Verstappen spins around from second position and loses a hatful of places.
36:08And that's P4, Nico.
36:11We think the rain will stop for at least 40 minutes.
36:14Okay, understood.
36:17Four and a half second gap to Stroll.
36:19Okay.
36:24Behind us, we've got Hamilton.
36:30Gads beat side of the bus.
36:31Buy your best.
36:34Yeah, pace is good.
36:42Good job.
36:48All right, Quinty Stroll.
37:02P3.
37:03Great job, Nico.
37:05Nico Hulkenberg, 238 Grand Prix.
37:09The most by any driver without a podium finish.
37:14Hamilton is behind, putting pressure on him.
37:19Delgling is mega out there.
37:20Hulkenberg has won a seven times world champion on his tail.
37:25Can he hold on?
37:28What's going on with Hamilton?
37:29There's a four and a half second gap to Hamilton.
37:35Let's get really close.
37:37And we left.
37:38Seven to go.
37:41Oh my God.
37:43I'll take three and a half seconds.
37:45Fuck.
37:50I'll be fast at my own time.
37:53Two more laps.
38:01My heart's pounding.
38:03All the pressure and all the tension.
38:05I'm pretty stressed.
38:09I get Louis behind me, chasing me down, trying to push me into a mistake.
38:15It's the ultimate challenge.
38:19The slightest mistake.
38:22And you can be out.
38:25Last lap.
38:29Stay clean.
38:30No mistakes.
38:31Bring it home.
38:53And finally, he gets to stand on the podium.
38:56It's third place for Hulkenberg.
39:00It's the Chugger flag, Nico.
39:02You did it.
39:02You did it, dude.
39:03Odium.
39:04I'm your free, baby.
39:05Oh my God.
39:11I don't think a couple of M will be what we just did.
39:17Well done, that's P6.
39:19Yes.
39:20You are very good jogging.
39:23Nico, absolute masterclass today.
39:26This has been the most overdue podium in Formula One history and you nailed it.
39:32Thank you, Jonathan.
39:33Oh my God.
39:35Nico, it's Gabby.
39:36Man, you don't know how happy I am for you.
39:38You are a f***ing legend.
39:39Honestly, absolutely insane what you did today.
39:43Thank you, buddy.
39:45Thank you very much.
39:45Appreciate that review.
39:47You know, you are right in the history.
39:49We are.
39:50Together we are.
39:52We are right.
39:53Look where we are now.
39:55An extraordinary meteoric rise from 10th to 6th in the championship.
40:03Can we take a photo, please?
40:05No, no, no.
40:05No, no.
40:06It's not a photo, it's not a ring job, but.
40:12Oh my God, I don't comprehend what this happened.
40:20Come on.
40:20You just delivered what you've always been capable of.
40:24Enjoy it.
40:30Nobody really expected it or saw it coming.
40:32I feel very happy and proud about it.
40:34Finally, you know, I've done it.
40:40I sit here at the moment really feeling like Salva is my team.
40:46You start to create a different culture, and it blossoms around you.
40:54I've been very, very lucky to be a part of this journey so far,
40:57and I'm excited about the next five, six, seven years.
41:07Can you stop following?
41:11When you are a leader of any business, it depends on your choice, the success or not.
41:18And only the future tells me if I'm right or wrong.
41:21I believe we need to be concentrated completely in 2026.
41:26Even next year we have the bottom. I change the job, you know.
41:30Finito. Grazie.
41:37We have two number one drivers fighting for the championship.
41:41Well done.
41:41That's a recipe for disaster.
41:43The top two in the world championship side by side.
41:46I want to win badly, sometimes too badly.
41:53We're nowhere near where we should be.
41:56Something doesn't feel right with the stock.
41:59I cannot drive.
42:00Williams has to get a handle on this situation.
42:03What the fuck is happening in Portugal?
42:05That's not how I go racing, guys.
42:20Go to her.
42:35Okay, guys.
42:37You
