00:06I've got a lot of under-sip.
00:11Liam Lawson's out of the Grand Prix.
00:13Sorry, guys.
00:15I just need more time.
00:20Liam Lawson takes that top place.
00:23Oh, my God, man.
00:25This is bad news for Red Bull.
00:28In this business, to succeed,
00:31sometimes you've got to take action.
00:34Liam Lawson has been fired from Red Bull
00:36and demoted back to Junior Team Racing Bulls.
00:39Are you kidding me? Two racers!
00:42I don't see how it's anything other than
00:45a huge embarrassment for Red Bull.
00:51Right, shall we do this shirt change?
00:56No, it's all right, mate. It's all right.
01:02It's a total farce.
01:06Two racers...
01:08I've never seen anything like it in Formula One.
01:11The pressure is just ramped on that team.
01:15I mean, everybody's got an opinion.
01:17But do we listen? No.
01:23The wheels are coming off at Red Bull.
01:27Can Christian turn it around?
01:30Or is he out of time?
01:48OK, so hello is...
01:49Konnichiwa.
01:50You've got to do that, because that's what people love.
01:51When you warm them up, you're like,
01:53Konnichiwa.
01:53And then...
01:55Konnichiwa.
01:55Like that.
01:56Give it the big one.
02:21Konnichiwa.
02:23Konnichiwa.
02:26Konnichiwa.
02:27Konnichiwa.
02:29Konnichiwa.
02:29Konnichiwa.
02:31Konnichiwa.
02:32Konnichiwa.
02:50Konnichiwa.
02:56Maybe they feel like I wasn't ready for it, and obviously, you know, they made the decision
03:00and that's obviously their opinion.
03:03From my side, I was ready, I just didn't have enough time.
03:08I was pretty disappointed for it to all be sort of decided in two races.
03:12It didn't feel right.
03:14Have you spoken to Max about the decision?
03:20Be honest.
03:23He didn't agree with it.
03:27But at the end of the day, it wasn't up to him.
03:31Hello.
03:32Hello, how's it going?
03:34Hello.
03:35How's it going?
03:36How are you?
03:37You know, obviously telling any driver that there's going to be a change and you're taking
03:41him out of the seat is always going to be difficult and not the news that they want to hear.
03:44Three, two, one, action.
03:48Okay, great.
03:49And we'll get another one of those with the smile.
03:52This isn't a popularity contest.
03:53It's Formula One.
03:55But you can argue it was a hugely popular decision in Japan.
04:03Because within the pool of drivers that we have, there is an obvious candidate.
04:11Yuki, Yuki, Yuki, Yuki!
04:15Oh, nice shirt.
04:18And you're sharing your team, yeah.
04:20Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
04:23This material, I think makes me quite bigger.
04:30Rookie Tsunoda on a flying lap
04:32Yuki Tsunoda is fast
04:37Another good overtake from Yuki Tsunoda
04:39That was absolutely brilliant
04:43He's also one of the most wild
04:45Let's fucking go man
04:47He's got a sense of humor that is on the edge sometimes
04:52Oh no
04:54You're so nice, thank you, thank you very, very much
04:57Really appreciate it, are you bringing it to me as well?
04:59Yeah, thanks, thanks
05:02Ace
05:06Yuki, you're going to take a horse for a sweepstake
05:09A big race in England this afternoon
05:10You're going to take a horse and then it's a sweepstake
05:13Grand natural, mate
05:15What have you got?
05:18Ooh, 33-1
05:20It's 23-1
05:21I'll tell you what, if you pull up on the top ten today
05:23You can ride one of my horses
05:27Okay, I've got you
05:29Who is it?
05:30Monvague Genius
05:31Monvague Genius
05:32Yeah, it's not bad
05:33Good luck
05:34Okay, you've been 17
05:35Thank you
05:40Thank you
05:41Oh, pretty old, cheeky
05:47Switching to Red Bull as a home Grand Prix
05:49It's a dream come true
05:52And you're special
05:53You're special, right? You keep telling me that
05:56Especially after four years in the V-carve
06:03I'm sure that how the people look at me now is a bit different
06:07Did you text Liam after you got the news or speak to him?
06:11No
06:17His ass?
06:18Yeah, so big, so funny
06:20You like my ass?
06:23Especially with these balls
06:26Hey, I've got a bigger balls, I guess
06:30I don't know about that one, but
06:35Yeah
06:37There he is
06:38Konnichiwa
06:40How are you?
06:40I'm okay
06:41You all right?
06:41How are things?
06:43Yeah, you're not bad
06:43I'll probably have to throw the helmet on the BBC
06:47They say Max isn't happy
06:49Max isn't happy
06:49He's not happy with
06:51You know, he's
06:52I don't know what he meant by that
06:54I think there's a lot of negativity around Max is unhappy
06:58Max isn't
07:00Like any racing driver
07:03They're always grumpy when they're not winning
07:09Red Bull lost the Constructors' Championship in 2024
07:14That is the most important championship
07:17That's where the prize fund money comes from
07:20That keeps that team on the racetrack
07:22They lost because they only had one car scoring points
07:28Christian needs someone in that second seat
07:31Alongside Max Verstappen
07:33That can score points consistently
07:35Or senior figures at Red Bull won't be happy
07:39Christian is answerable to a board in Austria
07:43And that's run by Oliver Mintzlab
07:46With Helmut Marko as his advisor
07:56I guess the other question is
07:58What happens if it doesn't work with Yuki?
08:00Look, I've got a feeling that Yuki will
08:01I think he'll do all right
08:04He'll do all right
08:05He seems to be
08:33First race in a rubber racing
08:37In front of the Japanese fans
08:39They are very, very passionate
08:44There's an expectation from the team
08:46To score points
08:48Obviously, I had a pressure that I have to prove that
08:59Yuki's got to showcase
09:01He's the right calibre
09:03To be alongside Max this year
09:10All right, let's see what we've got
09:16Max Verstappen starting on pole
09:18With the fastest ever lap
09:20We've seen here
09:21Radio check
09:23Lava clip
09:25Yuki Tsunoda starts 14th
09:28Pressure on Yuki to finish in the top 10
09:30And score points in that second Red Bull
09:43Yuki, release was good
09:49It's a good pace, Max, keep it up
09:50No worries behind
09:53No worries behind
09:54Lando, just keep putting Max under pressure
09:56Lando, just keep putting Max under pressure
09:57Go for it
10:03Go ahead, Fernando
10:04Let's get him
10:06Sorry
10:11Watch out, Snowden
10:13Okay
10:19Yeah, we are too slow on this train, Fred
10:21Way too slow
10:25Can't make a push
10:27Everything you've got here
10:40Point this, Snowden
11:03It's not gone well for Yuki Tsunoda
11:11Failing to make an impact
11:12On his debut for Red Bull
11:14Can Verstappen hold on to first place?
11:21Max, Norris behind
11:22Has picked up his pace a little bit
11:26Lando, this is the last lap
11:29Opportunity
11:30Yeah, I think so
11:44Yeah, I can't get any closer
11:48Max Verstappen wins the Japanese Grand Prix
11:56Wow, thank you guys
11:58Wow
12:00Oh, mate
12:01What an unbelievable weekend
12:09That was a tough day today
12:12Sorry guys
12:14Yeah, I think the pace was there
12:17Okay, so finishing order
12:18Okay, so finishing order
12:19Max, P1
12:20Yeah, congrats
12:21Congrats guys
12:23Sorry, couldn't get you the point for your home race
12:40Yeah, it's not a great race
12:47It's not the result I wanted
12:49At least I wanted to finish in the points this weekend
12:51So, yeah
12:53It's a home Grand Prix, you know
12:55It's a once in a year
12:56So, considering that
12:58It's a bit tough
13:01There'll be a panic at Red Bull over that second seat
13:05You know, was it the right decision in getting rid of Liam?
13:09Only Max seems capable of scoring points
13:14That's going to get the board worried
13:26Hey Max, how are you?
13:27How are you?
13:28Good morning
13:28Well done for Suzuka
13:29Amazing weekend
13:30Do you still feel that with the second car you are able to defend the title?
13:36No, no, no
13:37We definitely need to improve to be able to fight for a title
13:40Where do you think the car is going to be in terms of drivability here at this track?
13:46So far this year, the car has not been our strongest point, to be honest
13:52But it's not just that second seat
13:54That's a problem
13:58Here's Max Verstappen
14:10Our car is proving to be a bit of a diva at the moment
14:12There is definitely potential in the car
14:15But to extract it is, is tough
14:19Oh dear, big lock-up
14:21Lap wrecked
14:23Foxy, man
14:26When you've got a driver like Max Verstappen
14:28That's the only person really scoring points for the team
14:31There's pressure to say, come on
14:33We've got to give him a car that's capable of doing that
14:39Okay, Max, peace
14:45Oh my god, that was a zip-top
14:47Jesus
14:48Max, that was a tough afternoon in the office, so you have plenty to go away and lock out
14:53Yeah
14:55Yeah
14:59How big is your concern about his future, that he has to be thinking about his future, that he has
15:05to be in the red bull team?
15:07He is big and, as I've said, it has to be in the near future, that he has to be
15:15in the near future, that he has to be in the future, that he can win again
15:22Helmut is now doing interviews
15:24Oh really?
15:25Yeah, and it's like two or three, like, off-the-cuff remarks
15:31Helmut, he's a cunning old fox
15:34He will use the media to assert pressure
15:39Sometimes it's very unhelpful
15:46This week, Helmut Marko says he fears your red bull exit
15:50Why is he saying that?
15:52I don't know
15:53So you're not thinking of leaving red bull at any time?
15:57No, I think just focus on commentating, I'll focus on driving
16:02And then, you know, you don't need to think about any other scenarios
16:05We just worry about you
16:10The thing is, you cannot answer the question about why is Marko saying what he's saying
16:15Because it gives the game away
16:17He can't answer any of the questions about his future
16:20The fact that he can't answer it
16:23Smile
16:24It's a bit of a second
16:25It's a truth
16:27It's a bit of a second
16:28It's got an exit call or something
16:30There's a lot of chat about Max having an exit clause
16:33Is that true?
16:36I think there's certain criteria within his agreement
16:38That there's certain benchmarks that we have to achieve
16:41That will be what, you know, dictates the outcome of whether he stays or not
16:48So it's really crucial to turn things around
16:53I don't want to let McLaren beat us in either championship
16:56So
16:57That would be a big disappointment
17:00But it's much worse than anybody had expected
17:05The relationship between Christian and Jos Verstappen
17:08Max's father and essentially his manager
17:11It's just terrible
17:13Let's just say they don't see eye to eye
17:15And they haven't for some time
17:18The Verstappens holds a lot of power
17:21Within the corridors of Red Bull Racing
17:24If he determines that things aren't going in the direction that benefits his son
17:30Then he'll move to extricate him
17:33That's going to get the board shaking
17:41Do you think Christian's worried about the rumours?
17:44I don't think Max was built to finish
17:46Well, he's at the sixth last race
17:48I know he's got an exit clause in his contract
17:51So I would imagine he would jump if he can
17:56Red Bull doesn't seem to be a very happy place at the moment
18:00Everyone seems to have their knives out for each other inside that racing team
18:06But it comes off so arrogant
18:07I'm sure he sees that as no big deal
18:09But when you put them all together
18:11And you look at how they're doing
18:12Looks like a big deal to me
18:20Max Norris behind
18:22No, it's still pretty tight
18:25I've got a hold of it
18:26It's much longer
18:31Each and every race that goes by
18:33There is pressure from every angle
18:39Lando Norris has squeezed the head of Max Verstappen
18:42What the fuck?
18:45I guess you can get so there
18:46Two laps to go
18:47The pace is incredibly slow
18:50It's just ridiculous
18:53Max Verstappen has to settle
18:55For fourth place
18:56I'd like today, Max
18:58We just weren't quick enough
19:00What finish?
19:028-10
19:03And once again
19:05It is McLaren in Miami
19:09The walls are closing in on Christian Horner
19:14Red Bull are potentially falling here
19:24Good job
19:25Keep on going
19:29Keep up the pace
19:45You're right, you're right
19:45You're right, you're right
19:59Yuki
20:03Yuki
20:04Yuki
20:09Yuki
20:28Yuki
20:57If you've never been to the Austrian Grand Prix
20:59This will come as a surprise
21:00But you cannot order a Coke
21:04Within like a five mile radius of the track
21:07The only thing they have on the menu
21:09Is a Red Bull coma
21:12It's Red Bull country
21:14It's wild
21:17Undoubtedly it's the most important race of the season for Red Bull
21:24Christian needs a headline result
21:30Austria is the home race of Red Bull
21:32You've got all the shareholders there
21:36There's always that added pressure
21:42There's always noise in Formula One
21:44And we're at a point of the year where there are performance clauses in contracts that inevitably
21:54People become aware of and they get used and played
21:57And some of it I'm sure is done to unsettle
22:08Earlier this year Toto you said you were not going to flirt with the idea of signing Max
22:12So has something changed in the last few months either from your side or Red Bull's side?
22:19Define flirting
22:23Have you been in contact with Max's team?
22:26Yes
22:27What can you tell us about that contact?
22:28Certainly when a four-time world champion appears to be free
22:32Then that is a conversation I need to have
22:34Is there any chance Max could be at Mercedes next year?
22:37There's always a chance
22:41A question to Max
22:42Are you going to be driving for Red Bull Racing next year?
22:46Yeah I don't think we need to talk about that
22:55Thank you
22:56Alright next
22:58You know you're not going to get a long answer from Max
23:04Why is Toto deliberately putting into the ether that he's interested in Max Verstappen?
23:14He can see the cracks and he can see that Christian's on shaky ground
23:18So you know what?
23:20Ramp the pressure up
23:34Carmen and I have been playing around with making skin care products
23:38Pretty good
23:39The first batch smelt like semen
23:41This is the second batch which is slightly better
23:44So it's much improved
23:46I'm not selling the product very well here whatsoever
23:52So there's a lot of noise in the media
23:54A lot of noise
23:57I think they've just been waiting to sort of see where the land falls with Max
24:02But the Verstappen's clearly have a lot of power in that team
24:08They like to manipulate situations quite a lot
24:11Like for whatever reason they don't like Horner
24:13And they're trying to get Horner out
24:16And I sort of just wonder
24:18If all of this is a bit of a
24:20A play and a stir
24:22So
24:23Trying to put pressure on Red Bull
24:26That he'll only continue with Red Bull
24:29If Christian's gone
24:48When the pressure cooker of Formula One
24:53Just almost feels like it's reaching boiling point
25:00It's a very lonely place to be
25:04I built this team
25:05I've been there since the beginning
25:07What you see is what you get with me
25:09And that maybe doesn't sit comfortably with others
25:13And particularly in this paddock
25:14Because I think others know that they can't manipulate me
25:20We've won 14 world championships
25:22Over 100 pole positions
25:24I won't roll over
25:30After a disastrous qualifying for Red Bull
25:32Max Verstappen starts in P7
25:35Yuki Tsunoda at the back of the grid in 18th
25:3810 seconds
25:40Copy
25:55We'll be right back
26:23Oh, for fuck's sake.
26:31It's all out.
26:33Fucking idiots.
26:35Okay, Max, please switch the car off before you get out.
26:39Sorry about that.
26:54Yuki Tsunoda continues in that second Red Bull.
26:57He is Red Bull's only hope for points here.
27:05Tell me if I'm doing anything as well.
27:08Yep, copy. Head down. Let's get good.
27:28Oh, it's large. You must sleep to me.
27:30Yes, I, we saw.
27:34Okay, Yuki, for info, we've been given a ten-second penalty for the collision with Colopinto.
27:38Good job.
27:43Lando Norris wins the Austrian Grand Prix.
27:47Well done, mate. Well done.
27:49Yeah, well done, everyone.
27:51Best finish of the season for Liam Lawson.
27:55Yes, mate. P-6.
27:58Yeah, copy, man. Well done.
27:59What a weekend.
28:05Yuki Tsunoda, 16th and last.
28:08Compounding a really terrible day for Red Bull.
28:12Well, I'm sorry.
28:15Yeah, no one needs to remember it.
28:19Oh, sake.
28:24What a day. I don't know.
28:33I think he's totally lost.
28:37Totally and utterly lost.
28:48Thank you, guys.
28:57The difference in points now with Max Russell has scored ten, so it's nine points.
29:07I can't remember a race so disappointed.
29:14Perfect for Togtog, though.
29:16Yeah, I'm a little bit worried.
29:18Yeah.
29:26Can you just talk to us about how you remedy this second seat struggles and how you make sure that
29:30second driver is up there so that you are able to capitalize on something when Max Russell is right behind
29:35us now and has an unfortunate day like today.
29:40So obviously Austria didn't go so well.
29:44Yeah.
29:50Yeah.
30:02After the Austrian Grand Prix, we turned up at Silverstone and Max qualified on pole, but ended up finishing fifth.
30:1624 hours later, I was contacted to attend a meeting in London.
30:30And that was where they informed me that operationally I was no longer, from that moment onwards, involved in the
30:37running of the Red Bull Formula One team.
30:41We have learned that Christian Horner has been sacked by Red Bull.
30:45He is to leave them with immediate effect.
30:58Hey, darling.
31:04All done and dusted.
31:12Yeah.
31:15Thank you very much.
31:20Yeah.
31:23Anyway.
31:24Onwards and upwards.
31:29I feel a real sense of loss and hurt.
31:32It was all rather sudden.
31:34I didn't really get a chance to say a proper goodbye.
31:38How do you feel?
31:40How do I feel?
31:41How do I feel?
31:43Um...
31:43I never imagined to be in this position.
31:46Of course, your immediate reaction when you've delivered a shit sandwich like that is, like, fuck them.
31:54I've had something taken away from me that wasn't my choice, that was very precious to me.
32:00But you thought it was going to happen.
32:02We came back from that Austria race and I remember you sat on the bed all night and went,
32:07something really bad is going to happen.
32:09So they're going to fire you.
32:10Yeah.
32:12Yeah.
32:18You haven't got any of the data here, really.
32:22Well, normally I'd have a whole bunch of noise in my ears.
32:25So it's like you're blind.
32:27Double spot in the top ten. That's so costly.
32:30I feel a bit slight.
32:31In that top of sixth place in the championship, we'll stay head by a point.
32:33No, I feel a bit sad watching this.
32:38I only ever gave my best.
32:40I did my best for my team, for the people that I represented.
32:45But performance this year hasn't been as strong as previously.
32:49Was it anything to do with the Verstappens?
32:52His father has never been my biggest fan.
32:55You know, he's been outspoken, you know, about me.
32:58But I don't believe that the Verstappens were responsible in any way.
33:04I think this was a decision that was made by Oliver Menslaff, you know, with Helmut,
33:10advising from the sideline.
33:15I think, ultimately, you know, things changed within the business, within the group.
33:20You know, the founder died.
33:24And, you know, after Dietrich's death, you know, I think probably I was deemed to, you know, to have maybe
33:31too much control.
33:34Was it your decision to swap Liam with Yuki?
33:38It wasn't my choice.
33:41I was always pushed to take drivers from the Young Driver programme.
33:49Helmut was a big driver, innit?
33:51Are you gonna eat your feelings?
33:53No, but that one is really good.
33:56The reality is that, for me, over the last 20 years, on the good days and the bad days, it's
34:05been an epic journey.
34:06No, he's just doing that!
34:10You won't stop me!
34:15You're such a twat!
34:18Red Bull have done it! For their first ever Formula One win!
34:23Great job, Sebastian!
34:25There's a happy man, Christian Horner!
34:29It's the end of an era.
34:31You think about Red Bull, you think about Christian.
34:34Whoa!
34:36Come on!
34:38Every podium they've stood on.
34:40I ate him.
34:42Every driver they've signed.
34:47Every driver they was let go.
34:51Christian was behind it all.
34:53Hello, Christian.
34:54Welcome to Red Bull.
34:56Love the guy.
34:57Don't worry, I'll squeeze Toto's bollocks.
34:59Or hate the guy.
35:01You've got a problem, change your fucking car.
35:04I could have him in a fight.
35:06You cannot deny the level of success that he achieved at that team.
35:12You are the world champion!
35:14The world champion!
35:21We've achieved heights that others could only dream about.
35:26There's been a rivalry, there's been a competitiveness.
35:30I enjoyed every minute of that.
35:32What you heard from Toto?
35:34He said, I didn't know what to say.
35:38He said, because on one side you've been a real arsehole.
35:41But on the other hand, the sport will miss one of its main protagonists.
35:45Who should I fight?
35:46And love to hate, as you always said.
35:49Wolf and Horner have a combined 14 of the last 15 world championships.
35:56Not a bad joint statistic.
35:58And I responded to him, I've loved locking horns with you all these years.
36:03So thank you for the rivalry, the competition, the needle.
36:06No one else even came close.
36:09As the statistics point out, I wish you the very best for the future.
36:14PS, you need a haircut.
36:20I think we're done.
36:21For now.
36:23Okay.
36:24Very good.
36:30When you could beat them by a teammate almost every race, it's very frustrating.
36:36Stupid, nice.
36:38What the fuck was that?
36:40The brakes are on fire.
36:42Pretty good.
36:44Las Vegas is unbelievably special.
36:47You want to put on a good shell.
36:48You don't have my pass.
36:53They're under investigation.
36:56I think they might be in trouble.
36:58This is going to be a shit show, isn't it?
37:01Take it out.
37:02You just can't get it on fire.
37:05See you next time.
37:08liby.
37:09Let's go.
37:21I'm not...
37:28Just turn your ass up.
37:28You can't get it.
37:29You can't get it.
