00:22Lewis Hamilton has left Mercedes to go to Ferrari
00:30He's been the backbone of Mercedes, they won six world championships
00:33Lewis Hamilton wins the British Grand Prix
00:37He's the GOAT, he's Lewis Hamilton
00:45The question is, how do you replace the most successful driver that this sport has ever known?
01:04Hello, Mom
01:04Hello
01:06How are you?
01:07How are you?
01:08How are you?
01:08How are you doing?
01:09Well, well, well, well, well
01:10Perfect
01:12Androchi Ventonelli, F1 driver for Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 team
01:19He's just a kid
01:20There's so much pressure on him
01:22Seven years ago, he was 11 years old
01:24Lewis is there in the Mercedes gear
01:26And he's wearing all his Mercedes stuff
01:28He's a child, mate
01:30I'm super excited
01:32What, for your first season?
01:34No, because finally
01:36I luckily have passed my driving test
01:44My mom doesn't have to drive me around anymore
01:48I can drive myself
01:51At the speed limit
01:52Which is hard
01:53I mean, man, going at 30 kph is boring
01:58Where are you laughing at?
02:02It feels mega
02:04Oh my god
02:08This year, you've got six rookies in the field
02:16Anything can happen
02:17Okay, everyone, I'm gonna pose you individually if that's cool
02:20Timmy, can you move a little bit that way, please?
02:22Not only that
02:23Almost every team have got an entirely new line-up
02:26That's a massive change
02:27Lewis, can you shuffle slightly to your right?
02:29Yeah, that's nice
02:30Three
02:30Two
02:31One
02:32And the question in everyone's lips is how will Lewis do?
02:35Stop talking to me while I'm in the frickin' battle, man
02:37Jeez
02:39Fucking hell
02:42All this young driver
02:43Is more emotional
02:44You can only fuck me over so many fucking times
02:46Gimme, are you okay?
02:48I was crying
02:49Sometimes you want the stick and beat everybody in the head
02:53Look at him
02:54Yeah, but...
02:54Mwah
02:55In a season of new beginnings
02:58Who will survive the chaos?
03:00It's like a pool full of sharks
03:05Fucking hell
03:06Oh, for fuck's sake
03:10Oh my god
03:11Clear for takeoff
03:13Here we go
03:15Oh, well, that's amazing
03:17Kind of
03:17It's very exciting meeting these folks people
03:20Especially cute ones
03:24Some will rise
03:26We
03:26Hit
03:27The run
03:28Some will fall
03:29Fuck
03:30One of the most brutal driver switches in history
03:34There are people who are willing to do anything
03:37They're trying to get Horner out
03:39It's in times of adversity
03:41You see who your enemies are
03:43I won't roll over
03:46And when the dust settles
03:48Will a new king sit on the throne?
03:50You are free to race
03:52Max, he's like that bad guy in that horror movie
03:56He keeps coming back
03:57I hope you're ready
03:58It's gonna be a bumpy ride
04:03The battery's dead
04:04Whoop!
04:05Whoop!
04:06Whoop!
04:09Whoop!
04:32Oh
04:34Keep a level please no need for any of that stuff
04:41Not a fan of this
04:42Not a fan at all
04:46What have you put in here?
04:49Truth serum
04:542025 here we come
04:58We're back
05:01I think we're the longest standing
05:04driver line up on the grid now
05:06Who's had the best results together?
05:09We did
05:11Makaran are world champions
05:13Woohoo
05:15Papyrus
05:17What a biggest beat
05:19Yeah
05:21You're now the one to beat
05:22Now the one to beat
05:26This year
05:26Let's do it again
05:31Formula One
05:32Formula One
05:32Is celebrating its 75th
05:34Anniversary
05:35For the first time in history
05:37Every Formula One team
05:38Will launch their car
05:40Introduce their drivers in the same place
05:42It'll be really interesting
05:44Because F1 teams love to one up each other
05:49Oh
05:50Oh look there's Alpine
05:51On the river
05:52Where?
05:53Right below us
05:54Their budget
05:55I've probably only come in rowing
05:59Heading to the O2 baby
06:04Chopper?
06:06Chasing us
06:10Come on
06:10Come on
06:11Come on
06:11Faster
06:11Faster
06:13Slow it
06:16So
06:16You've got the big seat now
06:21I'm looking forward to the O2
06:23I know that
06:23At one point
06:24We're gonna be on stage
06:25But I think it's be pretty cool
06:26And it's
06:27Austin be a part of
06:28For my first year
06:31What's that big tower?
06:33Or like pyramid looking thing?
06:34The shard
06:35So if
06:36If you go for a part
06:37But you actually poop yourself?
06:39Shard
06:40Ah
06:41Shard
06:46Anyone know where the O2 is?
06:50Have you been on the underground before?
06:52No
06:53Super efficient
06:55That's how we roll
06:59All righty
07:00What are you doing?
07:02I think I've looked better to be honest
07:03I've just woken up
07:04We need to go here
07:05Yeah
07:06All right let's go
07:07Vamos
07:09Everything's changed this season
07:10Because I've now got
07:11You know an 18 year old
07:12As my teammate
07:13Kimmy
07:15Are these cameras with you?
07:17Yeah
07:22You need to hold on mate
07:23You've definitely not been on the tube before
07:26It's like having a new baby brother
07:28I still can't believe he's born in 2006
07:31Like anyone born in the 2000s
07:33I see as like eight years old
07:35All right
07:36We're jumping out here
07:38All right
07:39Watch out mate
07:41Fucking hell
07:43They're all like Verstappen
07:45They just like fucking smash you off
07:47George a good tour guide
07:49Why?
07:50He knows the place very well
07:53The rule in England
07:54To stand on the right
07:55And you walk on the left
07:56Yeah
07:57He says on the signs
07:59F1 branded everywhere
08:00Oh
08:01There he is
08:02Nando
08:03He's back
08:06Please welcome your host for F175 Live
08:11Mr. Jack Whitehall
08:15Good evening London
08:17You know your sport is ridiculously minted
08:20When you book the O2 for an event
08:22To announce the colour of a load of cars
08:24That are all exactly the same as last season
08:29I'm kind of excited to see what everyone has done though
08:31It's like a...
08:32Yeah
08:33It feels like X Factor
08:34Yeah
08:34Do you know?
08:48Yeah
08:53Yeah
08:55Yeah
08:56Yeah
08:56Yeah
08:56I wanna see it
08:59You had a good break?
09:00Yeah
09:00Yeah
09:01It's been really really good
09:01But it's short
09:02Yeah
09:02You got a kid coming man
09:04Yes
09:04You excited?
09:05Yeah
09:05Yeah
09:07Yeah
09:08Anything is gonna be fun
09:09You have to be at the end
09:10You have to watch it for now
09:12Wow
09:12I'm not sure
09:13Maybe from...
09:14Maybe from that side
09:16Yeah
09:17I think I'll be the same
09:18I was dating a girl
09:19And her sister was having a kid
09:20And I was there outside the operating room
09:22So I could hear them screaming
09:23Oh dear
09:24I need to pass out to something
09:25And it wasn't even my kid
09:28Ah here we are
09:30Missed it
09:32Yes
09:33What's good man?
09:35What's good man?
09:35What's good man?
09:36It kind of felt like the first day of school
09:38I mean...
09:39Did you hair dry that or what?
09:41It just stays like that
09:42Well I put product in it
09:43Okay
09:44A little bit of bleach
09:45I got a perm
09:46Perm
09:47Really?
09:48Especially this year
09:49Because at school normally
09:50You always get to know new kids
09:53Have a good winter
09:54Yeah
09:56We have six rookies
09:58Starting a season at the same time
10:02We haven't seen this for 15 years
10:06It could be utter carnage
10:12Should I put the team here?
10:15What's the name?
10:16What's the name of the team?
10:17What's the name of the team?
10:18It's on your shirt
10:23Good evening Stake F1 Team
10:25Kick Sauber
10:27You have to be barking to the mic now
10:30Oh
10:30Oh
10:33A squeaky one
10:35I was ready that one
10:37Get out of the team
10:43Is the match
10:43Sauber has Gabriel Bottoletto
10:4420 years old
10:46From Brazil
10:47Formula 3 Champion
10:48Formula 2 Champion
10:50Formula 2 Champion
10:50Definitely want to watch
10:53Gabriel, your first season of Formula 1
10:56It's amazing to see all this crowd
11:01Ah! That's us. I'll be doing something now.
11:07Let me hear it for Isaac real quick!
11:10When we look at what the Racing Bulls are doing this year,
11:13signing up, Isaac Hadjar, really impressive in his junior career
11:17and has always shown an incredible burst of pace.
11:21At the moment, I still don't have a clue how I'm going to perform.
11:26See you on the track! Good night, London!
11:30Relaxed. It's quite chilled.
11:33Jack Doohan, from Australia,
11:36didn't win the title in Formula 3 or Formula 2,
11:40but he's the first Alpine Academy driver
11:43to be promoted to a Formula 1 seat.
11:45Jack, first time F1 driver. How does that feel?
11:48Yeah, it feels amazing.
11:50Just want to say good evening and thank you all so much for coming.
11:52That's what I've dreamt of all my life.
11:55So to be finally doing it, living it, it's a great feeling.
12:00You think we can take it on stage?
12:03But it's not even warming you up, mate.
12:05Do you want me to hold it?
12:06No, it's warming my face.
12:07Yeah, okay.
12:07I'll try and put on a brave face,
12:09but I am a bit nervous to go out in front of that many people.
12:13You have ten seconds.
12:16Oli Behrman, 19 years old, from Great Britain.
12:20He's part of the Ferrari Driver Academy, highly regarded,
12:24and looking to prove himself this year driving for Haas.
12:30The car looks fast. Hopefully it's good looking.
12:34As fast as it looks.
12:36For the rookies, the first year is brutal.
12:40It's scary.
12:41So if you cannot deal with the truth, it's not your place.
12:48It's a lot different, the car.
12:50It's a big difference.
12:52Really?
12:52To a different car, yeah.
12:53Also the feeling.
12:55And it's like the Italian accent.
12:58So it's like, you know...
12:59You know, having all the other drivers
13:01and some of my heroes as well,
13:03it's quite surreal
13:05because I've been always used to see them on TV.
13:11It is now time to introduce a very special moment
13:15for a very special team.
13:24Oh, my God.
13:25It's red.
13:26I was going to say the same thing.
13:30It looks like someone spilled some fucking yogurt over him.
13:35This is it.
13:37The moment we've all been waiting.
13:40The reveal.
13:50It's the GOAT.
13:52The GOAT.
13:59I think that doesn't work.
14:01How you doing, London?
14:04We good?
14:06Charles, what would be your why for the season?
14:09Um, if I have to choose one word,
14:12I was going to say fulfillment.
14:15Fulfillment?
14:16Fulfillment?
14:16There's no way he's come up with that.
14:17Someone just told him to say that.
14:19It was going over in his head before it came out.
14:21Please, again, make some noise for Fred, Charles and Lewis.
14:28Lewis moving to Ferrari was the key
14:31that unlocked the door to the mayhem of silly season
14:35and all of the driver moves that we saw for 2025.
14:39This year will be good for everyone.
14:41It needs to be a good bike.
14:43Ready for you.
14:44Ready for us.
14:46Already?
14:51It's not even ready, guys.
14:53It's my team.
14:53Mate, you want to watch on?
14:55Of course there are question marks for Mercedes.
14:59Replacing Lewis Hamilton with a school kid.
15:04You know?
15:06It's going to be fun.
15:08I'm freezing.
15:09Welcome to England, mate.
15:12Lewis stepping out means new opportunities.
15:14Now we can put someone in the car
15:16that has the real potential
15:18in becoming a great one
15:21to fight the McLaren for championships.
15:24Man, I'm not used to this, eh?
15:26Exciting stuff.
15:28Let's do it.
15:31I need to do a kind of warm-up, you know?
15:33Pre-session warm-up.
15:35I'm very, very nervous.
15:36I'm quite a shy person
15:38and there are going to be a lot of people.
15:44Kimi Antonelli.
15:45Italian.
15:46Young driver.
15:48On Mercedes-Burx.
15:54Definitely is a lot to get used to.
15:57It's incredible to see so many of you here tonight.
16:02Yeah, I mean, it's a privilege to be where I am today.
16:07Mercedes decided to skip him past Formula 3
16:10and straight into Formula 2
16:12and brought him into Formula 1
16:13at the first possible opportunity.
16:17Is it too much too soon?
16:26Liam Lawson is technically still a rookie
16:29because he has not raced a full season.
16:32He does have more experience than his fellow rookies,
16:36but the expectations on him from Christian Horner
16:40and Red Bull are extraordinary.
16:44How are we going?
16:45Very good.
16:48Right.
16:50I'm always ready for a fight.
16:53Losing in the Constructors' Championship.
16:55One more for luck.
16:56That hurts.
16:59Let's go, Red Bull!
17:01You all right?
17:02Well done.
17:03Max won the Drivers' World Championship last year.
17:06But the one that means the most to the teams
17:09is the Constructors' Championship
17:10because that is how the money is distributed in Formula 1.
17:14But last season...
17:17We're out, Checo.
17:19Our second driver, Checo, is formed.
17:22Just nosedive.
17:23If we keep going like this, we're fine.
17:26You know, we can't just be a one-car team.
17:28We need both cars up there scoring points.
17:32So when the doors open,
17:34we just... the car goes and we walk with you.
17:37Yeah.
17:37And then you're going to tap us and we're going to walk to the street.
17:40And the people behind us, or we'll just be dancing and going crazy?
17:42Okay.
17:43I mean, if you want to dance as well, I mean...
17:46Liam, go for it.
17:47Please.
17:48It's your Magic Mike moment, you know?
17:50Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
17:55Voila?
17:58Oh, shit. I didn't mean to do that.
18:00You are supposed to do that, though.
18:01Liam Lawson, driver for Oracle Ribba Racing.
18:07Okay, Liam.
18:08It's looking good.
18:10Liam, when he got the opportunity last year in our junior stable,
18:14the Racing Bulls, he grabbed it and I was very impressed with that.
18:18It was 0.5.
18:20So, Perry's just ahead of you.
18:22Careful.
18:24Yeah, fucking...
18:25I think Liam Lawson just gave Perez the finger.
18:29Liam's got that racing DNA, that racing spirit that sets us apart from our competitors.
18:35He's the man.
18:42McLaren are the team to beat this year.
18:44But don't underestimate the opposition.
18:47One second, Red Bull is up now?
18:49Yeah.
18:50Where's Christian?
18:50Yeah, what?
18:51Isn't Christian with us?
18:52No, he's basically doing his speech at the intro.
18:56Please welcome team principal Christian Horner!
19:14Well, it's fantastic to be here in the O2 anyway, so I hope you're all having a good evening.
19:45The O2.
19:49Even caring what other people think I think we're gonna get a lot of this now, you know
20:00So is somebody gonna show us the way
20:06To go up there and then come sit down next to your team your sponsors that now I'd be pretty
20:11uncomfortable
20:14It didn't help that he went up there on stage like I'm gonna rock the room and then the room
20:20rocked him
20:23It's like you have to be the pantomime villain
20:43We are different and that's what makes us who we are. This isn't a popularity contest. It's Formula One
20:51And you're judged on on the result sheet at the end of the day
20:55It's easier to be the hunter rather than the hunted and of course for us anything outside of total domination
21:03You know, it's not good enough
21:07All the preseason chatter it stops now the beginning of the Formula One World Championship here in Australia
21:17Round one of 24
21:30Hi, it's quite high numbers. Yeah
21:34First Grand Prix this year's returning back to the hometown of Oscar Piastri
21:40What a beautiful day
21:44And of course as a driver, I'm here to kind of go out and do my own thing. I
21:51Want to win
21:53Passes again
21:59He hasn't got his pass on him
22:02He should be able to go in
22:05He's got to drive the car, but he's he's the F1 driver. Thank you. Thank you
22:12All right, can Oscar try to set that up?
22:29It's a fresh start for all of us, you know, we've got different teams with different drivers
22:37So it's like a different dynamic, and you don't know what to expect
22:45It's fun to have something new
22:46Hey, I've done it many times. I've changed teams five times, right?
22:50Oh, shoot, yeah
22:52Five times
22:53Five times
22:53Five times
22:54Five times
22:55It's only my second time
22:56It keeps reminding me how old that time is
22:58Yeah, you got it
22:59Yeah, you got it
22:59Catch the arrow, man
23:01I slow
23:12I slow
23:13Qualifying is absolutely key because it sets the grid for the race on Sunday
23:17The fastest driver in qualifying takes pole position, which means they start from the front of the field for the
23:23race itself
23:25The stopwatch doesn't lie
23:28It's time to show everyone what you've got
23:31Now I'm in Formula One, I will be judged only by my performance
23:36Now it's the real deal
23:39Let's not forget the gamble that the teams have taken on these rookies
23:43The pressure on these kids from the very first moment is so vast
23:52My main goal is to be fast
23:54I don't want to disappoint my team
23:56Young drivers, yeah, they get time on the simulator, but they don't get real world, real time in the car
24:02They're not testing in between races like we used to do 15, 20 years ago
24:07Ready to check
24:09That is good
24:11The pressure is, of course, very high
24:13Everything that you've done prior to that is kind of forgotten
24:16I have nerves for sure
24:20I have that feeling that, you know, I need to perform
24:29First qualified of the year
24:31I always have nerves
24:33Ready to go
24:34Red Bull
24:35They're used to winning
24:36They've done a lot of it
24:37But Liam is very inexperienced in Formula One
24:41And Lando and Oscar are very hungry
24:49Going into qualifying, it's crucial to get a good start
24:53To put the pressure on McLaren to say, look, you're not going to have it all your own way
24:58With Liam
24:59In terms of race experience, he probably had more than other rookies coming in this year
25:06Toto has invested in a, you know, 18-year-old
25:09It's a big ask on that kid
25:11Mercedes without Lewis Hamilton could be pretty bland
25:16Kimi, he's just natural, you know
25:18They will continue to develop
25:21I'm really excited to see Kimi
25:24On his first laps of his Formula One career
25:28Now it's time to prove
25:31That investing in him was the right thing to do
25:35Okay, Kimi
25:3715 seconds to great luck
25:40Andrea
25:42Andrea, ready?
25:44Come on
25:45Come on, sit down
25:45I'm here
25:49As a child, you're becoming a man
25:53You'll always be my child
25:55Yes, yes
25:56My dad and my mom, they've been the two closest persons to me
26:02Where do you have the zaino?
26:04My family, they're really supportive
26:07And that's why I want to really make sure that I make the best out of it
26:11I recommend
26:12Stay tuned
26:14Bye, Mom
26:15Bye
26:18Because I'm very young
26:20I have a lot to show
26:21And a lot to prove
26:25Okay, Kimi
26:25So it's all clear
26:27I'm good to go
26:35It's all clear behind me
26:50So you need to pick up the pace
26:51You need to push a little harder than expected
26:56And just be careful
27:03Just stick as close to the Gouda track position as you can
27:10Pick up the pace
27:11Pick up the pace
27:19Just drop to P16
27:21And we'll box box
27:25We could have done better on that one
27:32Alright, let's push
27:3714th for Jack Doohan
27:39What a shame
27:41Difficult start for the rookies
27:44Ah, no, no, no
27:46I don't want to give up
27:47None of them into the top ten so far
27:53Next, Liam Lawson in the Red Bull
27:57I'm excited
27:59My whole life
28:00It's been my dream to
28:01To be a Red Bull Racing Formula One driver
28:06This journey's properly started
28:10I've got to make the most of this opportunity
28:14You know, a new season is a new dawn
28:16There's an anticipation and excitement
28:19To get back on top
28:24Keep pushing, keep pushing
28:25You do what you need to do
28:37Okay, I went wide but I'm okay
28:41Uh
28:43Bucks, Bucks
28:45That's it for Liam Lawson
28:46He'll start at the back
28:49I'll say help out, please
28:51Help, love, boys
28:52Okay
28:55This is Lewis Hamilton
28:57Into turn 11
29:09I don't know what happened there, mate
29:11Yeah, half one
29:16It's Lando Norris
29:18Who takes the opening poll of the year
29:21Amazing work
29:21Let's keep it up, baby
29:23Then it's Oscar Piastri
29:26Uh, yeah, I think that
29:27And it's an all papaya front row
29:29To start the year
29:31The world champion team
29:33On top
29:34This is so much fun
29:45Well done
29:47All right, time to break some hands
29:58From my years being teammates with Lewis
30:00When things are all aligned for him
30:02I mean, he's unbelievable
30:04And now he's left Mercedes
30:06People thought and expected he would be the one
30:09To do something special
30:11His performance today
30:13I don't think it's
30:14Anything that he
30:15Or the team would have
30:16Would have hoped for
30:21It's definitely been a challenge
30:23It's been a lot of work
30:24To really adapt to this car
30:28Um, so we've got work together
30:33That was a bit of a fucking rough one, wasn't it?
30:36He started well, but
30:38Then faded
30:40To qualify on the back row
30:42You know, it's not what is expected
30:44Of a Red Bull racing driver
30:47Well, Liam
30:47Regardless of experience levels
30:49It's down to him to deliver
30:50In Formula One
30:52You've got nowhere to hide
30:55I'm here
30:56You've got something in place
30:57Yes
31:01You all right?
31:02Yeah, I was just done
31:03Thank you
31:04Hi Liam, how hard is it for you
31:06To find some positives right now?
31:07Uh, it's definitely tricky
31:09I just made a mistake
31:10And, uh, that basically screwed up everything
31:13So, um, obviously not a good start
31:15But I shouldn't be making mistakes either
31:19I just fucking went off
31:22Liam has got his work cut out
31:25Demonstrating that he deserves that second seat
31:28Because if he can't deliver
31:31Even in that first race
31:33Red Bull are not going to be cutting him a whole lot of slack
31:40I think
31:41Hey, uh, it was fine until I went off
31:49I'm quite disappointed
31:52I'm getting quite harsh on myself
31:55You know, it's not the way I wanted to start my Formula One career
31:58Yeah, Kimi
32:01Don't worry, don't worry
32:02It's gonna be better
32:03Of course, disappointed with the result
32:06Yeah, no, no, no
32:07Kimi's qualifying was my difficult one
32:10We just need to protect Kimi
32:12Taking pressure off
32:14Lowering the expectations
32:16So he can focus entirely on performance
32:19We're gonna put our arm around him
32:22Make sure that Sunday goes better
32:32Who is there?
32:33Mark?
32:35Did you rest well?
32:36Yeah, I did
32:38Nice
32:39And, uh, how are you feeling?
32:42Uh, I would say
32:43I've been struggling
32:45Uh, you know, to find my rhythm
32:51But, uh, it felt like nothing was coming together
32:55And, uh, also I started to put a bit of extra pressure on myself
33:00And, uh, you know, just driving super tense in the car
33:03And not delivering, so it hasn't been easy
33:08I think it was tough, but, uh, we need to keep that mindset of learning and growing and maturing
33:14Remaining curious, asking questions, trying to learn all the details
33:20I've been for the first time last year in F2
33:23And, uh, now I find myself already in Formula 1
33:26Which I didn't expect to get here so, so quickly
33:31I'm realizing that it's all real
33:33To be honest, it's a tough one
33:36It's been more stressful than what I was thinking
33:43I really want to keep my seat for a long time
33:46I know I cannot afford any, you know, mistakes
33:57Today, a shift in weather is on the way for Melbourne
34:02Severe thunderstorms developing
34:03Heavy rain, damaging gusty winds
34:06And will promote very, very dangerous conditions
34:08As a cold front moves through
34:15It's very sketchy
34:17There's a storm coming
34:19And the time is now
34:20For the opening race of the year
34:22Go!
34:26Go!
34:29Go!
34:29Go!
34:30Go!
34:35Windy
34:38If one of us has a crash, this is them
34:42We go at crazy speeds
34:44And when you hit the brakes
34:45It's just very difficult to manage in an F1 car
34:48In those conditions
34:50I feel for the rookies in it
34:52It's a street track
34:54The grip's going to be extremely low
34:55Visibility's going to be low
34:57A good start to your
34:58Formula 1 rookie season
35:01I think it'll be so slippery here in the way
35:04Me, I did 420 Grand Prix starts
35:08And you still have the stress
35:09You're driving a 300kmh car
35:12And with another 19 drivers
35:14You know, one metre apart
35:15And if you're a rookie
35:16You have this for the first time
35:18Are you going to speak at me?
35:23Even in a straight line
35:25The car's like really...
35:32It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood
35:35No
35:38I think every driver wants to win their home race
35:40If I had to pick one on the calendar
35:42Yes, Melbourne would be it
35:54I feel a bit afraid going into my first Grand Prix
36:00Because sometimes unexpected things can happen
36:03You don't want to just lose control
36:08I don't think it's about how quick you are today
36:10It's about how smart you are
36:12You're going to get lucky or unlucky
36:14With Liam, it's important for him to bounce back quickly
36:16I'm not giving up on this one yet
36:2115 years ago
36:22The last time we started a race on wet weather tyres here
36:30It's going to be a tough race
36:32You're doing a crash
36:37You know, it isn't easy
36:39Just constantly thinking about what's about to happen
36:51It is time for the formation lap
36:55Before the race starts
36:56They'll be looking at the extent of the pretty treacherous track conditions
37:01They're declaring track slippery
37:03KT
37:05The rain is a nightmare
37:06Okay, now we try to up the tyres
37:09I'm stressed about
37:12Not leaving up to the expectations
37:14I'm scared not to be
37:15Not to deliver and let down everyone
37:19It's quite wet
37:21Keep it steady
37:21Keep it
37:32Can you get going?
37:34No
37:38Isaac Hajar out before we even get going
37:41That is absolutely brutal
37:48The walk of shame
37:50I feel like my career
37:52Now it's over for me
37:53Before it even started
37:59Okay, Kimi
38:01Kimi Antonelli makes his debut 16th on the grid
38:04There's quite a lot of emotion
38:07It's my first time driving around another 19 cars in F1
38:11And it's super sleepy out there
38:13With those white lines
38:15Cold tyres
38:16It's scary
38:17It could end badly
38:20That's crazy
38:21Hamilton begins life at Ferrari in 8th
38:25Okay, Liam
38:26Pre-start
38:27Copy
38:29Liam Lawson will be starting in 18th from the pit lane
38:33A little bit nervous
38:36The goal is to have a strong race
38:39But it's going to be extremely tough
38:42It's hard to come through from the back
39:02P2 Max
39:03Good job
39:04Yeah, thank you
39:05Keep it going
39:08Still pretty tricky in terms of visibility
39:26Jack Doohan
39:28The rookie into the wall
39:29On the opening lap
39:32Jack, are you okay?
39:35Yep, I'm okay
39:36Jack Doohan
39:44Fuckin' hell
39:44Oh, Shane is in the wall
39:46Oh, Shane is in the wall
39:47It's not just the rookies
39:52What position am I now?
39:54The 8th
39:56I'm slow
39:56This is pretty effective
40:00I think Kimis, just be careful
40:02We've got cars off already
40:04Yeah, they're quite slippery
40:06Just look for the white matches
40:08Where you get them
40:10You get this butterfly effect in the stomach
40:14Not gonna lie
40:16Taking a bit more risk
40:17Just to try and find the limit
40:28Fuck
40:33Oh, man
40:34Oh, man
40:35That was close
40:37Just be careful
40:39Car ahead
40:40Hulkenberg
40:43Let me know when it comes
40:44From the back
40:45Everyone makes mistakes
40:47I have to reset
40:48Focus
40:50Okay, Kimi
40:52Let's go
40:52We were really slow to speed
40:59A tidy pass for Attenelli
41:02He's moved up to 12th position
41:04Nice one, Kimi
41:06I like that
41:06Thank you
41:15Feels like the wind is picking up
41:17The rain could get pretty intense
41:20Are you okay, Fernando?
41:31Yeah
41:35Still so late
41:36Is there more rain building up?
41:39Stand up
41:39Far ahead
41:42That's 3.6 behind
41:44It's raining again
41:49Yeah
41:49Yeah, my tires are fucked
41:52Good job
41:57Lando, Oscar is now behind you
42:00Yeah
42:0115 laps to go here
42:03McLaren currently set to take maximum points
42:09Oscar is 0.7 behind you
42:13I hit a bit of patch
42:15Errr
42:16I'm fucked
42:23That's still 0.7
42:26Yeah
42:30Time off
42:35Pete Astrid going into the gravel
42:38They're both off
42:39Off go the McLareys
42:42Norris stays in the lead
42:50Pete, no max
42:53Oscar, update on condition
42:56Oscar, if you can get going then pin
42:59Oscar Piastri could be out of his home Grand Prix
43:09In my box
43:09In my box, box
43:11Okay, box
43:20Take ball on that slicks out of struggling
43:22Fade my break
43:26Gabriel Bortoletto
43:27Into the wall
43:29Sorry I crashed my break fade
43:31Okay
43:31I mean you're currently key 7
43:36Currently key 7
43:39Lawson's now in the points
43:40Having started way down in 18th place
43:42Yeah, this is great Wim
43:44Do you want to try and survive it?
43:47Yes
43:49I know that I have this very brief moment to prove myself
43:52It definitely feels like, you know, that time is right now
43:54You've got to try and survive it
43:55I think that time is empty
44:05You've got to find some attacks too
44:09You can see it at night
44:13I'm not going to rush it
44:17I'm too much
44:18I'm not going to rush their way
44:22I'm not going to rush it
44:23I'm not going to rush it
44:23But I have to go through it
44:24Sorry, we... Sorry, please.
44:33Sorry, guys.
44:36Unfortunately for Liam,
44:39he makes mistakes under pressure.
44:43You know, it's quite simply not good enough.
44:49Give me Sir, car hit elbow.
44:52Got me.
44:54Now I'm really feeling good with the car
44:55and I'm realising that anything is possible.
45:01And I just want to get more of this feeling.
45:04And it's not over yet.
45:06I have to go for it.
45:08You have a head point five.
45:10You do have overtake available.
45:13Keep pushing.
45:19Yes, mate. Nice job.
45:24Unbelievable from Kimi Antonelli.
45:26For fourth place.
45:31Back at nine again.
45:33Yeah.
45:34Behind you, you've got Charles.
45:51Hamilton, 0.6 behind.
45:55Lewis Hamilton having a tough weekend.
46:08Gap ahead, 0.9.
46:10Okay.
46:12Yeah, something's off with my steering.
46:15Okay, Landon.
46:15Let's focus.
46:17Okay, final Mad Max.
46:190.6.
46:20Yeah, okay.
46:26The pace is in the car.
46:28Do not ever push it.
46:29Norris has a couple of corners to go.
46:41The Australian Grand Prix is going to be win number one in 2025 for Lando Norris.
46:50What up, mate.
46:51What up.
46:53He won.
46:54Great job.
46:57What up, boys.
46:58Beautifully handled.
47:00Amazing way to start the year.
47:01Thank you so much.
47:04George Russell comes home to finish on the podium ahead of his teammate.
47:09Amazing debut for Antonelli in fourth position.
47:13Wow, what a race.
47:14Mega job today, mate.
47:17Not bad for your first go.
47:19And yeah, some of those overtakes were pretty sweet.
47:22Thanks, everyone.
47:23It was a good weekend.
47:27Big time?
47:29Yeah.
47:30It was great, but we keep pushing.
47:40Wow, man, I'm shaking here.
47:41Good time.
47:42Good time.
47:43I was sending it.
47:44We said it was in big.
47:45Yeah, yeah.
47:46Redemption.
47:47Yeah, exactly.
47:50To finish fourth place from P16 is a dream come through.
47:58And with my family there, it's a special moment to share.
48:02You need to stay away from the grass.
48:06He was one of the only rookie that survived in the wedge.
48:10The first ever race in Formula One in finishing before.
48:14That's something we can be very happy about.
48:16George Russell!
48:21I'm finishing one place behind George P3.
48:24It is a very, very solid result for the team.
48:32I'm very much looking forward to trying to get to the same level as George.
48:37And I'll see my first podium.
48:40After all the question marks, for Mercedes to be level on points with McLaren,
48:45you'd actually probably argue Mercedes come out of Melbourne as, you know, the team that took the biggest win.
48:50Because it was so beyond, I think, even their expectations.
48:56But already, it's just going horribly for Liam Lawson over at Red Bull.
49:03How are you feeling?
49:05Uh, yeah, it's just a really tough weekend.
49:09We struggled.
49:11You know, Liam, he needs to show that, right, I deserve this seat.
49:16This is why they've chose me. This is what I'm capable of.
49:19And that's going to be enormously important for him to try and build momentum and go and attack the next
49:24race.
49:24I've got a big deal.
49:25I've got a big deal.
49:27Did something happen?
49:30What do you think is fucking stereo ring?
49:32Straight.
49:33Programmer city too?
49:34I decide what they're doing.
49:36I decide.
49:37You've only fucked me over so many fucking times.
49:41Finito.
49:42One of the most brutal driver switches in history.
49:46I just didn't have enough time.
49:48People get used and played.
49:50I never imagined to be in this position.
49:52that wasn't my choice.
49:54He's totally lost.
50:48He's totally lost.
51:03He's totally lost.
51:33He's totally lost.
52:09He's totally lost.
52:15He's totally lost.
