00:00And as the clock kicks down to the top of the hour, it's time to get things going here in
00:04Silverstone.
00:05It's formation lap, first, one tour of the track, and a chance for the drivers to warm up their tyres
00:11and brakes.
00:14Oh no, there's a problem for Apex. That's Hayes in P22. This car hasn't moved.
00:21Hang on, I got power trouble.
00:23It's start mode, Sonny. Start mode on.
00:26Yes, a lesson for everyone at home. New car, do read the manual.
00:31It's been a while since he was out on the track, and this race, he's not even going to get
00:35into the race.
00:38I got it. Oh, good.
00:42And he's away at last. Thank goodness for that.
00:45If he falls too far behind on the formation, he'll be at risk of having to start in the pit
00:51lane.
00:52Where's Sonny? He's holding us up.
00:54Ah, yeah. Just checking, Joshua. Just checking.
00:58What's wrong with this car?
00:59What? Nothing.
01:00With a clear track ahead, Hayes has been able to push much harder on this formation lap.
01:05He'll turn up at the back of the grid with warm tyres, ready to go.
01:10Cheeky shit. It's on purpose.
01:17What is this guy doing?
01:19This is actually now turning into an advantage for Sonny Hayes.
01:22And he's just made it in time.
01:25Watch out for his start.
01:35Five bikes ahead of the drivers.
01:38It's lights and tour.
01:39Here we go.
01:41Oh, my God.
01:45Oh, my God.
01:46Oh, my God.
01:48Oh, my God.
01:50Oh, my God.
01:54Oh, my God.
01:55Oh, my God.
01:59And if you ever need confidence in your car, it's here in Silverstone.
02:20He's just sailing past people. He's moved up seven places since the start.
02:25Apex GP has really struggled with this car, but they bought an upgrade package this weekend.
02:31They've seen the difference as Hayes attacks Perez in the Red Bull.
02:38Cars bounce around this dirty air. I can't position to attack.
02:42Hayes complaining about his car over the radio. That's not what the team wants to hear.
02:47Copy gap is 0.9 to Perez. You're within DRS range. You should be able to take him on the
02:51next straight.
02:55Hayes now using the track reduction system to get past.
02:59Yes!
03:01We'll be able to hold him up, guys. I got no grip.
03:03This is trouble now for Apex GP. The Red Bull's tires are now warm.
03:07And Hayes hasn't got his tire advantage from the start anymore.
03:11We've seen the attack. Now it's all about defense.
03:14And Perez on the attack intervail. Hayes is in trouble.
03:18This could be the places reversed.
03:21And it is!
03:22Damn!
03:23We read this loose. Tell me if you see a fix.
03:25Tell him to pull back the entry to get a better exit.
03:28He thinks it's a setup. It's not.
03:3320 laps down for Stafford Leeds.
03:35But Joshua Pierce is struggling out there at the moment.
03:38Guys, get me off these socks. I'm going backwards.
03:41Copy that. Lap 20. Watch box.
03:44The stakes couldn't be higher for rookie Joshua Pierce.
03:46This is not where you want to be in last place.
03:52Oh! I'm jammed! Back up!
04:01Hit something! What was that?
04:04A seven-second pit stop!
04:06Apex GP won't be happy with that.
04:08That's double the time they should have taken.
04:11Last of rears. Box. Box.
04:13Copy for the plan B. Box. Box.
04:15And here comes Sonny Hayes for a fresh set of tires.
04:18He'll be hoping these will help him hold on to his current position of P.J.C.
04:23What's that? Red Jack! Red Jack!
04:24Red Jack has not worked properly.
04:26You're kidding me.
04:26This is causing absolute pandemonium in the apex GP Pizzle.
04:33Whatever could go wrong is going wrong for this team.
04:39And coming out of the pitch. Hayes just ahead of his T-base.
04:44And Pearson Hayes goes battling it out here in Silverstone.
04:48Coming for you, old man.
04:56Got the pace, man. Tell him to let me pass.
04:58Yeah. Copy. Call position. Stand by. Kate.
05:01Josh is faster. Sonny's on cold tires.
05:08Yeah. Okay, Sonny. No fighting. Let him through.
05:16Sonny. No fighting.
05:18Who's fighting?
05:19I'm racing.
05:19Pierce on the inside. Hayes on the outside.
05:22Hayes tried to make him be concrete up against the ultimate wall there.
05:26Joshua, you're going to have to fight for position.
05:28You are racing, Sonny.
05:29Hey, fuck.
05:30They're giving absolutely no quarter.
05:33No benefit to their teammates at all.
05:35They're pushing as if they're trying to win a Grand Prix.
05:38And this is the battle for last place, remember?
05:41Of whatever all it is.
05:43Let's go get real.
05:47What is this guy doing? Let me through.
05:51No.
06:05We're on the final corner. It's close.
06:09We made contact.
06:11Both they take CP calls.
06:13This is the battle.
06:14Now this is the area.
06:18Oh, no.
06:20This is mad.
06:22The cardinal sin of motor racing and double DNA just when it couldn't get any worse with a blackened gold.
06:29That's a tough one, man.
06:47We can't corner.
06:48We're bouncing around a place that we're under bloody tube.
06:51And now we think it's cool to leave Wilkins in the pit box.
06:54Who even was that?
06:55That was me.
06:57Of course.
06:58Of course.
07:00Old man.
07:04You're losing your hearing.
07:06What was that?
07:08You want to do this here?
07:09Yeah, I'd love to do this here in front of the team, right?
07:11The one that you're apparently opposed.
07:12Okay.
07:13You made a mistake.
07:14It happens.
07:16I made a mistake.
07:17I love this guy, man.
07:18Don't worry about it, Jody.
07:18Are you even listening to me?
07:20Not really.
07:21No!
07:22Stop!
07:23The judge is right.
07:25An order is an order.
07:26May I remind you that you report to me?
07:32Cool.
07:34Just don't ask me to give up position.
07:39Sorry.
07:40Sorry, guys.
07:44Hold on.
07:45You swan into our garage like some entitled prick.
07:47Swan.
07:47Calling us piss porn and you drive like that.
07:49What's swan?
07:50Huh?
07:50You said I swan.
07:51What's that mean?
07:52You!
07:53You're an asshole.
07:53You come in like an asshole.
07:55You swan.
07:55So swans are assholes.
07:59You're making a mistake of thinking that I'm just going to be some grateful kid who'll
08:02bend the knee to an old-timer.
08:04I climbed a mountain to get here, bro.
08:07Formula One.
08:09Back home, we call that a participation trophy.
08:14Yeah.
08:18What the hell are you smiling about, man?
08:20Did you win something?
08:21There's 20 other drivers still out on that track.
08:24And you're in here posing for that nonsense?
08:25Do you think any of them respect us?
08:28Do you?
08:30They need to learn that no one gets past us without a fight.
08:33No one.
08:37You don't like the way I'm driving?
08:39Beat me, swan.
08:47Out of a race, huh?
08:49Woo!
08:55Out of a race, huh?
08:56Yeah.
09:07Oh, yeah.
