00:00:23ДИНАМИЧНАЯ МУЗЫКА

00:00:43They say home is where the heart is,

00:00:46and for the great British public, that is one place,

00:00:49Gloria Silverstone.

00:00:58It's the noise first.

00:01:01The people, the smell, the rubber-stained ground.

00:01:06A country arriving before dawn with expectations of greatness.

00:01:10A fortress inside a citadel built to stand

00:01:15against adversaries, pretenders, the past.

00:01:21See, this place, it remembers everything.

00:01:27Every person that has returned carrying the weight of it,

00:01:31this home is ours.

00:01:33It's demanded dark nights, threatening dawns,

00:01:38seasons of near misses,

00:01:40but it's also been a refuge, a shelter.

00:01:44It houses a nation waiting for their champion to return,

00:01:48not as the young challenger the crowd first cheered,

00:01:51but as the man who conquered the world.

00:01:58A thousand miles traveled,

00:02:01but still one place calls out to us.

00:02:04Home.

00:02:07So let the grandstands fill

00:02:08as we watch with bated breath,

00:02:11waiting for this spectacle to unfold.

00:02:15Because this place, this story,

00:02:17it is bigger than any of us.

00:02:21It is pressure.

00:02:23It is expectation.

00:02:26It is history.

00:02:31So let the roar of the crowd echo.

00:02:34Let the flags rise in the summer wind,

00:02:36because our champions have returned once more.

00:02:46Last year was an odyssey for Lando Norris

00:02:48on his way to a first world title,

00:02:50and now he returns home to the place he won last year

00:02:54to take his first British Grand Prix.

00:02:56Not the same pace this season,

00:02:58but ever hopeful in front of home support.

00:03:02Lewis Hamilton has revitalized pole for the sprint,

00:03:04but third in qualifying,

00:03:06as he hopes to chase down a tenth victory.

00:03:09No driver has won more at one event.

00:03:13George Russell has never been on the podium at Silverstone.

00:03:16He's struggled so far this weekend.

00:03:18The pole sitter from two years ago

00:03:20could only manage fourth.

00:03:23Because so far,

00:03:24it has all been about

00:03:26the championship leader,

00:03:27Kimi Antonelli.

00:03:29He's been nigh on perfect,

00:03:31sprint win,

00:03:32and a fifth pole of the year.

00:03:36It's the main event,

00:03:37the one every Brit looks forward to

00:03:39every single year.

00:03:41We're at Silverstone,

00:03:42and just over two hours away

00:03:43from the start of the British Grand Prix.

00:03:50Good afternoon, everybody.

00:03:52Welcome to Silverstone.

00:03:54A date in the British Sporting Summer Diary

00:03:57that is inked in every year,

00:03:59on air with an extra special

00:04:01over two-hour build-up today.

00:04:02We'll come on to the reasons why,

00:04:04but a little clue behind us,

00:04:05those Lego go-karts,

00:04:06in a few moments' time.

00:04:08It's great to see Martin Bunnell,

00:04:09Naomi Schiff,

00:04:10our 2009 world champion,

00:04:11and Jenson Button with us

00:04:13for the duration.

00:04:14Over 600,000 fans in this weekend.

00:04:18I've never seen it busier.

00:04:19It's fantastic.

00:04:20I've really enjoyed it.

00:04:22Beautiful racetrack,

00:04:23beautiful day,

00:04:24beautiful race fans.

00:04:26I mean, really,

00:04:26we say it so often,

00:04:28some of the best in the world,

00:04:29but they have been in here

00:04:30since right at the start of Thursday.

00:04:31And what's the most impressive

00:04:32is that year on year,

00:04:33you think it can't get better,

00:04:34but every time you come back

00:04:35to this place,

00:04:36it does get better.

00:04:37There's more fans,

00:04:38there's more things for them to do,

00:04:39and I truly do feel like

00:04:40if F1 had to have a spiritual home,

00:04:42it would truly be here at Silverstone.

00:04:44They're trying,

00:04:44I know what the plan is for Formula 1,

00:04:47is for every single Grand Prix

00:04:48to try and find its own individual identity.

00:04:51The old British festival

00:04:53is something we're rather proud of, isn't it?

00:04:55It's like a festival now

00:04:57that has racing cars to go around.

00:04:59So no, it's really impressive.

00:05:00And what I love about the fans here,

00:05:02they obviously want to support

00:05:03the British drivers,

00:05:04but they're here to support

00:05:05the sport as a whole,

00:05:07every single driver out there,

00:05:08which I think is pretty special.

00:05:09Yeah, and that is one of the good things.

00:05:11And they are a very knowledgeable crowd.

00:05:13I mean, a lot of the places

00:05:14that we go to,

00:05:15particularly the classic tracks,

00:05:17you do get a more discerning fan,

00:05:19shall we say.

00:05:20Is that fair?

00:05:21I wouldn't write off

00:05:22any fans around the world,

00:05:24and we always appreciate their support,

00:05:26but my experience of a few decades here

00:05:28is, yes, the British fans,

00:05:29of course, they'll be waving the Union Jag

00:05:32and cheering the British drivers on,

00:05:33but they also appreciate excellence

00:05:35back in the day

00:05:36with Senna and Schumacher,

00:05:38today with Max Verstappen,

00:05:40and they know a truly great driver

00:05:42when they see one.

00:05:43And one of those is on pole position,

00:05:45Kimi Gantonelli.

00:05:46I mean, look,

00:05:47I think he's broken a few Brits' hearts,

00:05:49but as Jenson rightfully pointed out,

00:05:51I mean, this is a place where,

00:05:53you know,

00:05:53majority of the teams are based in the UK,

00:05:55Aston Martin being just outside

00:05:56the front door, actually,

00:05:57and I think there's plenty

00:05:59of Gantonelli fans around here,

00:06:00and he's done an incredible job

00:06:01throughout the season so far,

00:06:03but yet again,

00:06:04to put it on pole here yesterday

00:06:05and turning it around

00:06:06from Friday, sprint qualifying,

00:06:08really impressive young man.

00:06:09Yeah, we talked about his growth,

00:06:11didn't we, Jenson, yesterday?

00:06:12It's almost session by session.

00:06:13It is,

00:06:14and he's just quick

00:06:16every time he gets in the car.

00:06:18It really is staggering.

00:06:19You know,

00:06:20racetracks are made up of straights

00:06:21and lefts and rights,

00:06:22but we all have

00:06:23sort of difficult tracks.

00:06:25He doesn't seem to at the moment.

00:06:27He's quick everywhere,

00:06:27so they're really impressive,

00:06:29especially for someone

00:06:30that's 19 years old.

00:06:31Here come the drivers

00:06:32on their way out,

00:06:33led by Lewis Hamilton,

00:06:34long tied,

00:06:35his old teammate,

00:06:36Valtteri Bottas,

00:06:37but yeah,

00:06:37for Lewis himself,

00:06:39I mean,

00:06:39you know,

00:06:40there's a support of the crowd.

00:06:41He got pole for the sprint.

00:06:43How he dearly loved

00:06:44that 10th win.

00:06:45They're going to have to operate,

00:06:46who would think,

00:06:47together perhaps,

00:06:48Ferrari,

00:06:48if they can get ahead

00:06:49of Kimi Antonelli

00:06:50at the start.

00:06:51It does look as if

00:06:52it's Ferrari versus Mercedes today,

00:06:54with Mercedes

00:06:54with a slight advantage.

00:06:56If they squabble too much,

00:06:58they'll allow Red Bull

00:06:59and McLaren

00:06:59to join the party,

00:07:00and that's what

00:07:01they've got to avoid.

00:07:02Right,

00:07:02much more chat,

00:07:03but as you can see behind us,

00:07:05after the success

00:07:06of Miami a year ago,

00:07:08when we had teammates

00:07:09in Lego carts,

00:07:11they've now got 22 of them,

00:07:12and this is how

00:07:13they got made.

00:07:14Here's Ted quickly

00:07:15before we get going.

00:07:19Formula One's partnership

00:07:20with the Lego Group

00:07:21just keeps on surprising,

00:07:23building on the bricks

00:07:24of Miami last year.

00:07:25Remember this?

00:07:27Excuse me.

00:07:31That was the most fun

00:07:33drier's parade we've ever had.

00:07:34Then there were

00:07:35the Silverstone trophies.

00:07:36Remember Niko Hulkenberg?

00:07:41Who can forget

00:07:42Max Verstappen's glasses

00:07:43and Terry Crew's

00:07:44pink Cadillac in Vegas?

00:07:47Viva Las Vegas!

00:07:49Well,

00:07:50they've gone and done it again.

00:07:55Now,

00:07:55I think it's generally

00:07:56accepted that

00:07:56that Miami 2025

00:07:57Drivers' Parade

00:07:59was the best ever.

00:08:00There might have been

00:08:01a feeling that the driver

00:08:02not driving

00:08:02and shouting encouragement

00:08:03from the backseat

00:08:04might have felt

00:08:05a little bit left out.

00:08:06The solution?

00:08:07Give each driver

00:08:08their own

00:08:09Lego go-kart.

00:08:11The drivers

00:08:12were really excited

00:08:13with what we did last time,

00:08:14and the fans requested,

00:08:16basically.

00:08:17So we wanted to,

00:08:18you know,

00:08:18deliver to the fans

00:08:19and we wanted to give

00:08:20every driver

00:08:21his own mini F1 car.

00:08:23So the race in Miami

00:08:24was amazing.

00:08:25It was a really exciting

00:08:26moment to live through

00:08:28and, yeah,

00:08:29I mean,

00:08:30incredible,

00:08:31surreal still.

00:08:32Just makes you smile.

00:08:33It makes me smile

00:08:34every time

00:08:35I just think about it.

00:08:37The sheer numbers

00:08:38are mind-boggling.

00:08:3922 go-karts

00:08:41and they're each

00:08:42made out

00:08:42of 28,300 Lego bricks.

00:08:4620 specialists

00:08:47to build them,

00:08:48to design

00:08:48and engineer.

00:08:49They weigh

00:08:50280 kilograms,

00:08:52including 65 kilograms

00:08:54of Lego bricks.

00:08:55The complexity

00:08:56is absolutely remarkable.

00:08:58First of all,

00:08:59we definitely look at,

00:09:00you know,

00:09:00how the whole car

00:09:02will look.

00:09:03We like to include

00:09:04as much Lego DNA,

00:09:05design DNA,

00:09:06as we can.

00:09:07We like to go off

00:09:09of real Lego elements.

00:09:11We will build it

00:09:11digitally in a small scale

00:09:13and then upscale it up.

00:09:14At Silverstone,

00:09:15if they, you know,

00:09:16race each other,

00:09:17there's a bit of contact,

00:09:18that's okay with you?

00:09:20I mean,

00:09:20that's okay with us.

00:09:21We've done everything

00:09:22in our power

00:09:23to, you know,

00:09:23take all the precautions

00:09:24and the safety features

00:09:25in the mini F1 cars.

00:09:28So, yeah,

00:09:29hopefully everything

00:09:30goes fine.

00:09:31Right,

00:09:32they're all being made

00:09:32and finished

00:09:33in the factory upstairs,

00:09:34so we've come down

00:09:34to the car park

00:09:35to give them a go.

00:09:36They just look fantastic.

00:09:38Seatbelts,

00:09:38the lot,

00:09:4030 kph.

00:09:41Nice.

00:09:42Okay, right.

00:09:43It's lights out

00:09:44and away Lego again.

00:09:46Woo-hoo!

00:09:47Oh, yeah,

00:09:48it's got some poke.

00:09:57Woo-hoo!

00:09:59Woo-hoo!

00:10:00Don't crash it now.

00:10:04Wow.

00:10:05Love it.

00:10:06Okay,

00:10:07well, listen,

00:10:07we've seen how they're made.

00:10:09I know how they go.

00:10:10The drivers

00:10:10are going to absolutely love this.

00:10:11Next stop,

00:10:12Silverstone.

00:10:21And they're off.

00:10:22They took us by surprise.

00:10:24But this could take a while.

00:10:25This isn't 200 mph.

00:10:26Now,

00:10:27I calculated it

00:10:28on the length of this lap.

00:10:305.9 kilometers

00:10:31at 25 kilometers an hour.

00:10:33If they take the racing line,

00:10:34it's 14 minutes

00:10:35and eight seconds

00:10:36it's going to take.

00:10:37I don't think

00:10:38they'll take the racing line.

00:10:40Will they drive flat out

00:10:41or will they cheat like crazy

00:10:43and go down the old pit lane

00:10:44or cut across Stoke Corner?

00:10:45At the moment,

00:10:46they're remarkably well behaved.

00:10:48What we don't need

00:10:48are bricks flying everywhere

00:10:50and then the marshals

00:10:51are out to sweep them up.

00:10:52Well,

00:10:53we had a very,

00:10:53very quick start

00:10:54from Lando Norris

00:10:55and I thought

00:10:56that they might behave themselves

00:10:57a little bit more

00:10:57than in Miami,

00:10:58but actually,

00:10:59having just seen that start,

00:11:00I don't think

00:11:01they're going to behave

00:11:01themselves at all.

00:11:02so I can imagine

00:11:03there'll be some bricks

00:11:04all over this lap to collect.

00:11:06Yeah,

00:11:06well,

00:11:07we haven't got to a

00:11:08court,

00:11:09so this might take a while,

00:11:11but also,

00:11:11I think that's when

00:11:12the action's going to start.

00:11:13Turn three,

00:11:13a little bit tighter.

00:11:14I think we'll see

00:11:15some bricks flying then,

00:11:16hopefully.

00:11:1722 big kids,

00:11:18really.

00:11:19Well,

00:11:19many of them are still kids,

00:11:20but they'll be enjoying this.

00:11:22Talking of which,

00:11:23let's head up to commentary

00:11:25because I think

00:11:25this is vitally important,

00:11:27Crofty,

00:11:28and that you talk us through this.

00:11:30It might be easier

00:11:30to commentate on this.

00:11:31This is a bit slower.

00:11:33Yeah.

00:11:33To be fair,

00:11:34there's just as many drivers

00:11:35in close proximity

00:11:36as we had at the start

00:11:37of the sprint race yesterday,

00:11:39but it's a tad slower

00:11:41going through the farm corner currently.

00:11:43George Russell off the line

00:11:44brilliantly, though.

00:11:45He was.

00:11:46Lights out,

00:11:46and away we let go,

00:11:48and go, go, go,

00:11:49George Russell.

00:11:49Ted already got you on that one,

00:11:51the away we let go,

00:11:53but I mean,

00:11:54they all cheated off the line,

00:11:55clearly,

00:11:56because they beat us

00:11:57in commentary,

00:11:57but look,

00:11:58they've got the boss

00:11:59out in front.

00:12:00Yeah,

00:12:00but he didn't get the memo

00:12:01that it's not like a normal cart,

00:12:03it's a Lego cart.

00:12:04Yeah, what's going on there?

00:12:05Someone not have actually

00:12:06added to the amount

00:12:07of bricks on the show

00:12:08out there.

00:12:09Oh, we're on board

00:12:10with Alvin Lindblad.

00:12:11Don't use your phone

00:12:12while you're driving.

00:12:13You're not allowed to do that.

00:12:14Oh, here we go.

00:12:16This is what we expected.

00:12:17Already.

00:12:18Colopinto

00:12:20is following George Russell.

00:12:21They're all going off the track.

00:12:23George Russell,

00:12:23Ollie Bearman.

00:12:24Even Ben Salim,

00:12:25the FIA president,

00:12:26they're going over the gravel.

00:12:27They're going to get stuck

00:12:27in the gravel.

00:12:28They're all beached in the gravel.

00:12:29They're beached in the gravel.

00:12:30Ridiculous.

00:12:31What has happened?

00:12:32Alex Albon

00:12:33and Kimi Antonelli

00:12:35and Pierre Gasly

00:12:36and Franco Colopinto

00:12:36and Charles Leclerc

00:12:38and Mohammed Bin Salim

00:12:39who should know better,

00:12:41really,

00:12:41as he's the president,

00:12:42have all beached their carts

00:12:44into the gravel

00:12:45at the loop.

00:12:47I mean,

00:12:49I'm surprised.

00:12:51Oh, sorry.

00:12:52Right.

00:12:52That Carlos Sainz

00:12:53is having a lift

00:12:54with his mate Lando Norris.

00:12:56Hulkenberg smashes

00:12:57into the back.

00:12:57No one is hanging

00:12:58onto the side of the go-kart.

00:13:00Come on, Nico.

00:13:00And I've read

00:13:01the briefing notes, yeah?

00:13:02Yeah, yeah.

00:13:03And it says,

00:13:03you're asked not to make contact,

00:13:05bump or nudge

00:13:06other go-karts on the track.

00:13:08And it also says,

00:13:09you must not go over any curbs

00:13:11and stick to the racetrack

00:13:12at all times.

00:13:14One thing I absolutely adore

00:13:16about Formula One drivers

00:13:17is when they can have some fun

00:13:19and when they can absolutely

00:13:21disregard the rules

00:13:22in having that fun,

00:13:23they will do so.

00:13:24But who would have thought

00:13:25taking this go-kart

00:13:27over the gravel trap

00:13:28would be a good idea

00:13:29that it wouldn't get beached?

00:13:31Silly idea.

00:13:31Oh, here we go.

00:13:32Bumping and barging.

00:13:33Is that Hadjar and Behrman?

00:13:35Oh, Behrman's.

00:13:36Oh, he's the instigator.

00:13:37Look.

00:13:38Aggressive, William Lawson.

00:13:39Is this a sign of things

00:13:40to come in the race today?

00:13:42Let's hope not.

00:13:42Look, here's Fernando Alonso.

00:13:44He doesn't want to get involved

00:13:45with all the bumping and barging.

00:13:47He's like,

00:13:47I'm going to make a...

00:13:48Lewis is texting.

00:13:49Yeah, Lewis is...

00:13:50Lewis is on the message service.

00:13:53Like, what am I doing here?

00:13:55And Oli Behrman's

00:13:57forcing Lawson off the track

00:14:00with Isaac Hadjar.

00:14:02Innocent.

00:14:03Oh, Limblad's off now as well.

00:14:04And they're still trying to get

00:14:06those carts out of the gravel.

00:14:08Oh, at least he's helping others

00:14:10to get going first.

00:14:11Oh, he's worked in months,

00:14:13quite frankly.

00:14:13Who's gone wide there?

00:14:15Is that...

00:14:15I think that...

00:14:16Is that...

00:14:16I did think it was Perez at first,

00:14:18but that's a red-ball-coloured car,

00:14:20isn't it?

00:14:20It might be Max

00:14:20that's decided to go

00:14:22and wave to the fans.

00:14:23Ocon enjoying this time

00:14:24out in front.

00:14:25As we head to Brooklyn's,

00:14:29616,000 bricks

00:14:30just over,

00:14:31making up all these go-karts

00:14:33with a top speed

00:14:34of 25 kilometres an hour.

00:14:36And on the inside,

00:14:38Oscar Piastri,

00:14:40before Oli Behrman

00:14:41could see him coming,

00:14:42has gone past.

00:14:43Whoever that...

00:14:44Is that Max

00:14:45going the wrong way round

00:14:45the circuit?

00:14:47No.

00:14:47Right.

00:14:48OK, we're now cutting

00:14:48more corners.

00:14:50Ones over the kerb.

00:14:51Yeah, that wasn't in the notes,

00:14:53was it?

00:14:53I think Martin Brandl's prediction

00:14:55of, what,

00:14:55a 20-minute lap time

00:14:56because they're stuck

00:14:57at 25 kilometres an hour.

00:14:58It's certainly not

00:14:59the 5.9 kilometre circuit

00:15:01that we thought

00:15:02it was going to be.

00:15:03Yeah.

00:15:04Albon looks like

00:15:04he's got a Lego brick

00:15:05stuck under his bottom.

00:15:07He doesn't look

00:15:08very comfortable.

00:15:08That is for sure.

00:15:10Well, we've got

00:15:11three different circuits

00:15:12here at Silverstone.

00:15:13I think we're making

00:15:13up another one

00:15:14with these go-karts.

00:15:18Where are they going?

00:15:19He's going straight

00:15:20to the fans.

00:15:21He wants to go

00:15:22and wave to the fans,

00:15:23taking the outside line.

00:15:25Lawson.

00:15:25And SM, by the way,

00:15:27stands for silly mode.

00:15:28That's what we're...

00:15:29Not straight line mode,

00:15:30silly mode.

00:15:30Oh, no, they go down

00:15:30the old pit lane.

00:15:31Why are they doing that?

00:15:32To shorten the track,

00:15:34Crofty.

00:15:34Of course,

00:15:35because then they can

00:15:36overtake and get

00:15:36a bit further ahead.

00:15:38I mean,

00:15:40it's genius.

00:15:41Who are these cars like?

00:15:42Is this the F2 cars?

00:15:44They're all in park further.

00:15:46Oh, yes.

00:15:47So, watch yourselves

00:15:48as you go through

00:15:49the old pit lane, chaps.

00:15:51Now, for all the F2

00:15:52drivers watching on,

00:15:53this could be you one day

00:15:55when you're a big,

00:15:57grown-up, sensible

00:15:57F1 driver.

00:16:00Yeah, and then you could get

00:16:01to do things like this.

00:16:02Back onto the track

00:16:03comes the Red Bull.

00:16:04There's the Marshalls

00:16:05getting a bird's eye view.

00:16:06Now we've got problems.

00:16:07Got a pincer.

00:16:09Is the engine gone?

00:16:10The engine's gone.

00:16:11Smoke.

00:16:12Smoke out of the back.

00:16:13Or is his tyre rubbing?

00:16:15Yeah.

00:16:16I think it's all the tyres.

00:16:17Yeah, they're battery-powered.

00:16:18There's no internal combustion.

00:16:20Well, they can still smoke,

00:16:21can't they?

00:16:21I mean, it's very bad news

00:16:22if an electric motor

00:16:23starts smoking, but...

00:16:24Good point.

00:16:25The Marshalls, by the way,

00:16:26thank you for everything

00:16:27you've done this weekend

00:16:29and every weekend

00:16:30here to make sure

00:16:32that we can go

00:16:33rope motor racing

00:16:33and we can run these events.

00:16:35And you get the bird's eye view

00:16:37and probably get up close

00:16:38and personal.

00:16:39Liam Lawson,

00:16:40that wasn't a good idea

00:16:41to go on the grass.

00:16:41That's really, really bumpy.

00:16:44It was Hajar

00:16:45who was driving backwards

00:16:47around the track, yeah.

00:16:48Lawson's taken to a bit of rallying.

00:16:50I don't know if he's got any feelings,

00:16:51but they might just have shaken loose.

00:16:53I mean, they were all complaining

00:16:55of last year's generation of cars

00:16:56being harsh on their backs,

00:16:57but surely that's worse.

00:17:00Yeah, Liam,

00:17:01you've got 52 laps

00:17:03of a Grand Prix to come.

00:17:04Take it steady, my friend.

00:17:06Take it steady.

00:17:07Where is he going now?

00:17:10He's getting a bit of heat in his tyres.

00:17:11Why aren't the tyres made of Lego?

00:17:13That would have been

00:17:14so much more appropriate, right?

00:17:15Maybe they would have got out

00:17:16the gravel if they were made of Lego.

00:17:17Good point.

00:17:18Nico Hülkenberg,

00:17:19podium finisher, of course,

00:17:21here last year.

00:17:22His foot is going nowhere

00:17:23near that brake pedal.

00:17:24He's making sure

00:17:26that that's not going to happen.

00:17:27Well, to be fair,

00:17:28he can take cops

00:17:29at 25 miles an hour,

00:17:31and normally you take it

00:17:32at 177 miles an hour,

00:17:33so I'd hope

00:17:33that no brakes are involved.

00:17:35Esteban Ocon's getting a slipstream

00:17:37behind Fernando Alonso.

00:17:39Lewis is still messaging.

00:17:41And Valtteri Bottas is like,

00:17:43yeah, I've seen all this before.

00:17:44Behind his old teammate.

00:17:45Yes.

00:17:47Oscar Piastri with a few waves there.

00:17:50Oh, yes, yes.

00:17:51They were also told to wear seatbelts

00:17:52at all times, weren't they?

00:17:54Really?

00:17:54Yeah, no, really.

00:17:55They were.

00:17:56That's in there.

00:17:56See, look.

00:17:57Kimmy's got his belts on.

00:17:58Good lad.

00:17:59Four-point highness,

00:18:01which was mandatory.

00:18:03Mohamed Benzalayan

00:18:04has got going again.

00:18:05George Russell's cart,

00:18:08well, it doesn't need a seat.

00:18:09It doesn't need seatbelts.

00:18:11He's decided to sit

00:18:12on the side pods for a while

00:18:14and wave.

00:18:15Mercedes in blue

00:18:16this weekend.

00:18:18Just to confuse everyone,

00:18:20tell you what,

00:18:21while George Russell is waving,

00:18:22shall we hear from him?

00:18:23He spoke to Ted

00:18:24just before he got

00:18:25into his go-kart.

00:18:27What about the Grand Prix?

00:18:31Immediate target,

00:18:32the Ferraris?

00:18:33Yeah, for sure.

00:18:34I think it's,

00:18:35race start's going to be important.

00:18:37I think Ferrari

00:18:37are definitely fast.

00:18:39However,

00:18:40we've got the straight line speed

00:18:41over them

00:18:42and sort of

00:18:44better energy deployment.

00:18:45So,

00:18:46I hope I can get through.

00:18:48I hope I can fight

00:18:49for the podium

00:18:50and sort of take it to Kimmy.

00:18:51But I also know

00:18:52Lewis and Charles

00:18:54I'm going to

00:18:55let their positions

00:18:56go by easily.

00:18:57Okay,

00:18:58but final thought,

00:18:58there's an interesting thing

00:18:59with the tyres.

00:18:59They're behaving themselves.

00:19:00They're very low degradation.

00:19:01Yes.

00:19:02And so,

00:19:02can you do something different?

00:19:03Will the team allow you

00:19:04to do something different

00:19:05to Kimmy?

00:19:06Like start on,

00:19:06I mean,

00:19:07it's all one stops.

00:19:08Yeah.

00:19:08But could you do

00:19:09a different tyre thing

00:19:09if the team allow you

00:19:10to do that?

00:19:11Yeah,

00:19:11I could do.

00:19:12But we're making

00:19:14the best decision

00:19:14for my race.

00:19:15So,

00:19:16the tyre

00:19:17I'll be starting on,

00:19:19whatever that may be,

00:19:20is going to be

00:19:20what's going to help me

00:19:22get the best result possible.

00:19:23I think we need

00:19:23to sneak through here.

00:19:24So,

00:19:25yeah,

00:19:25we're going for it.

00:19:25Good.

00:19:26Thank you.

00:19:26Thanks very much.

00:19:28George Russell

00:19:29and Ted Kravitz,

00:19:30a few moments ago,

00:19:32we've just seen

00:19:32a blinding bit

00:19:34of experience there

00:19:35from Valtteri Bottas.

00:19:36Alonso went off the track.

00:19:37Esteban Ocon's like,

00:19:38wherever you go,

00:19:39I'm going to go.

00:19:40Lewis is like,

00:19:40I don't really care

00:19:41where I go.

00:19:42And Valtteri's like,

00:19:42no,

00:19:43I'm going to stick

00:19:43to the racing line.

00:19:44And it made him stick.

00:19:45I've got a sneaking suspicion,

00:19:47Crofty,

00:19:47and we might have to review

00:19:48this on the Skypad

00:19:49if we've got footage.

00:19:51I think Bottas

00:19:51might have gone straight

00:19:52over Maggots and Beckets.

00:19:54Really?

00:19:54Yeah,

00:19:54that's what I think.

00:19:55And then I think Alonso's line

00:19:57was to cut across

00:19:58on the exit of Chapel

00:20:00onto the hangar straight.

00:20:01But I think Bottas

00:20:02had them all covered

00:20:02by going straight on

00:20:04across the ground.

00:20:05Or is there a gravel trap

00:20:06in between?

00:20:06I think there's a gravel trap.

00:20:07Well,

00:20:07somehow he's avoided that.

00:20:09I don't think the stewards

00:20:10are going to want to know

00:20:11any of all this.

00:20:13Uh-oh.

00:20:14What are we trying to do here?

00:20:16Is Fernando trying to get

00:20:17into Valtteri's cards?

00:20:18I think they're trying to

00:20:19steal Lego pieces

00:20:20off of each other's cards.

00:20:21I'm going to dismantle you

00:20:23piece by piece

00:20:23down the hangar straight.

00:20:26Yeah.

00:20:27Well,

00:20:27he started off at 616,000.

00:20:29I don't think we're going

00:20:30to end with it.

00:20:31What?

00:20:31He's pushing it back.

00:20:33Is he trying to get

00:20:33to make the overtake?

00:20:36Valtteri Bottas

00:20:38has literally been mugged

00:20:39down the hangar straight

00:20:40by Fernando Alonso.

00:20:42Oh,

00:20:42the old Wiley Fox.

00:20:43Look at that.

00:20:45Pressing his brake pedal.

00:20:46Fernando's like,

00:20:4725 years ago

00:20:48I made my debut here.

00:20:50I've got a bit more experience.

00:20:51There's your pole sitter

00:20:52for today,

00:20:53Kimi Antonelli.

00:20:54What a weekend

00:20:54he is having.

00:20:56Arvin Lindblad

00:20:57still recording

00:20:58every single

00:20:59turn of the wheel.

00:21:00Is it just me crying?

00:21:02Oh, no!

00:21:02What's it?

00:21:02Is his phone just

00:21:03chopped out of his cart?

00:21:04No,

00:21:04I think a bit of brick

00:21:05just fell off.

00:21:06I think a bit of brick

00:21:07just fell off his cart.

00:21:08Definitely something fell off.

00:21:10Is it just me

00:21:11or does everyone else

00:21:13want at least one

00:21:14of the drivers

00:21:14to make contact

00:21:15with Mohammed Ben Saliham?

00:21:17I think...

00:21:18I'm amazed.

00:21:18I'm waiting for that

00:21:19that moment.

00:21:22Who's brave enough?

00:21:23Yes.

00:21:24Remember that fine

00:21:24your stewards gave me

00:21:26last year?

00:21:27Right.

00:21:27Payback.

00:21:30Lando stand

00:21:31waiting for Lando

00:21:33who might well stop

00:21:33by the Lando stand

00:21:34to say hello.

00:21:35Oli Behrman's steering

00:21:36is completely gone

00:21:39and Arvin Lindblad's like,

00:21:40do we do this every year?

00:21:42I mean,

00:21:42first time

00:21:43at the British Grand Prix

00:21:44every year?

00:21:52I thought he was doing

00:21:53a bit of commentary

00:21:54earlier on as well.

00:21:55Yeah, it's one for the gram,

00:21:56isn't it?

00:21:57It's one for the gram.

00:21:59Well, the Lando stand

00:22:00they're going to get

00:22:01two for the price

00:22:02of one here, aren't they?

00:22:03He's got Lando

00:22:04and his old mate

00:22:05Carlos Sainz.

00:22:07And Oli Behrman.

00:22:08They might all stop.

00:22:09You never know.

00:22:11And we might just hear

00:22:11from the drivers too.

00:22:13What a great sight.

00:22:15Over 16,000 fans

00:22:17in that grandstand

00:22:19which has been extended

00:22:19and extended and extended

00:22:21as more tickets were sold.

00:22:23Is that a little bit

00:22:24of a smile from Piastri?

00:22:26I think so.

00:22:27I definitely think it's a smile.

00:22:28Right, now where are we going?

00:22:30Ocon, Bottas, Alonso

00:22:32making their way to the pit lane.

00:22:33That is really bumpy down there

00:22:35and there's no way through.

00:22:37This is going to hurt, boys,

00:22:38if you don't lift off.

00:22:39That'll be all right.

00:22:40Down they go.

00:22:41Alonso's trying to get

00:22:42to the line first.

00:22:43Do you know what?

00:22:44starting last for the Grand Prix.

00:22:46He wins the go-kart race.

00:22:48From last to first,

00:22:50Fernando Alonso

00:22:51rolling back the years.

00:22:54Experience counts, Crofty,

00:22:56when it comes to Lego go-karts.

00:22:58Oh, look at that

00:22:59for teamwork.

00:23:00Yeah, I'll push it a little bit.

00:23:02Dump, jump, jump.

00:23:04Yeah, my battery,

00:23:05my battery went.

00:23:07I think that's what Max is saying.

00:23:08Liam, my battery.

00:23:09It was all about the battery.

00:23:12Oh, fantastic.

00:23:13Simon Lazenby,

00:23:14down on the grid.

00:23:15We have a winner

00:23:16and his name is Fernando.

00:23:18I want you just to take this in

00:23:19for a moment.

00:23:19Just take this in.

00:23:21There is a hell of a lot of yellow,

00:23:23like this.

00:23:30What was your feeling

00:23:31when you came around the corner

00:23:32on your little Lego machine

00:23:33and saw 16,000 people

00:23:36chanting your name?

00:23:37It was beautiful.

00:23:38I mean, even Carlos,

00:23:39Carlos was riding alongside me

00:23:40the whole lap

00:23:41and he was like,

00:23:42oh, my God.

00:23:46It's unbelievable.

00:23:47It's been the brightest

00:23:48it's been all week.

00:23:49So it's amazing

00:23:50to see so many people here.

00:23:51Thank you all for coming.

00:23:54I'm shaking.

00:23:55I'm shaking a little.

00:23:56I'm shaking.

00:23:57This is crazy.

00:23:57It's amazing.

00:23:58What happened to Carlos?

00:23:59Why did he have to jump on board?

00:24:00They all had a little excursion

00:24:02and he went to the gravel

00:24:03and I had to save him today.

00:24:05So he owes me

00:24:05later down the line.

00:24:08I don't know

00:24:09what I'm going to say here.

00:24:09This is just nuts.

00:24:13It is surreal.

00:24:16So what chance of you

00:24:19creating a massive party

00:24:20here today?

00:24:21Yeah.

00:24:21You went from six to third

00:24:23in the sprint.

00:24:24You can emulate that again

00:24:25here in the race,

00:24:26can't you?

00:24:27Get on the podium.

00:24:29Uh-huh.

00:24:30Uh-huh.

00:24:30Yeah.

00:24:32We're going to accept

00:24:33nothing but a win today.

00:24:34So that's going to be the...

00:24:38I don't know.

00:24:39We'll see.

00:24:39Maybe that's a bit unrealistic

00:24:40but I'll put on a good show.

00:24:42We had a good show yesterday.

00:24:43P3 was amazing.

00:24:45I had a lot of support

00:24:46from you guys.

00:24:46So today is going to be

00:24:47even better.

00:24:48Fingers crossed.

00:24:48And it's getting warmer.

00:24:50The sun is out

00:24:51for you today

00:24:52and the crowd

00:24:53is a record-breaking crowd.

00:24:55I mean,

00:24:56570,000 people

00:24:57across the weekend.

00:24:59168,000 today.

00:25:00That is bonkers.

00:25:02Can you feel their energy?

00:25:03Can you harness that energy?

00:25:05I can.

00:25:06I mean,

00:25:06it's just...

00:25:07It's a beautiful feeling.

00:25:08This is unlike anything

00:25:10normal in life.

00:25:11So it's...

00:25:12I really...

00:25:12I don't think everyone

00:25:13appreciates how much

00:25:14this all means to someone

00:25:16to stand here

00:25:16and see so many people.

00:25:17It's really beautiful.

00:25:19So I'll do my best today.

00:25:21They look like

00:25:22they've already got

00:25:23their t-shirts

00:25:23but I'm going to get you

00:25:24to fire out some more.

00:25:25How are you feeling about that?

00:25:26I love it.

00:25:27It's the best part

00:25:27of the weekend.

00:25:39Nice touch from Lando and Carlos.

00:25:41Little Lego-based

00:25:42Senna Mansell moment

00:25:44from back in the day.

00:25:461991.

00:25:47I blew.

00:25:47Actually,

00:25:48no coincidence

00:25:49that three of those

00:25:50that were out in Q1

00:25:52crossed the line first there.

00:25:53These are racing drivers.

00:25:54After all, Jenson,

00:25:56they wanted to win

00:25:57and Fernando,

00:25:57the wily old fox,

00:25:58did so.

00:25:59Look at that.

00:26:00Fernando taking the win.

00:26:01That was pretty awesome.

00:26:02And Silverstone British Grand Prix.

00:26:03Good on him.

00:26:04You'll claim that one.

00:26:05On the mental piece.

00:26:06Did you see

00:26:07Lewis was on the track

00:26:08looking like he got it

00:26:08by miles

00:26:09and three carts

00:26:11appeared from stage right

00:26:12from nowhere

00:26:13and beat him over the line.

00:26:15I think that's why

00:26:15he left quick.

00:26:16Here we go.

00:26:18This is what I want it, friend.

00:26:20I mean,

00:26:21it's kind of in the nature

00:26:22of the drivers

00:26:22to try to sort of

00:26:24find a gray area

00:26:24in the rules,

00:26:25but here they were

00:26:26absolutely not taking

00:26:27the rules into consideration.

00:26:28It's a green area

00:26:29they found, isn't it?

00:26:30Yeah, that was a green area.

00:26:30They found the greenest area

00:26:31to get around

00:26:32and, yeah,

00:26:32you know what?

00:26:33Who to blame them?

00:26:34Just a bit of fun.

00:26:35No such thing

00:26:35as track limits

00:26:36in this,

00:26:37but, yeah,

00:26:37a few of them beached,

00:26:39which was nice.

00:26:39Led in there

00:26:40by the FIA president.

00:26:42Into the gravel,

00:26:43yeah,

00:26:43that was,

00:26:45that was never going to work,

00:26:46was it?

00:26:46But they were like lemmings,

00:26:48weren't they?

00:26:49They all,

00:26:49one went that way

00:26:50so they all thought

00:26:51we've got to cut this as well.

00:26:52Cheap.

00:26:53They know how gravel works, right?

00:26:54Yeah, exactly.

00:26:55They're normally hitting it

00:26:56a bit faster though, aren't they?

00:26:57So that might be why

00:26:58they get through it.

00:26:59Right.

00:26:59Right, there we go.

00:27:01A bit of fun, obviously.

00:27:02Brilliant stuff

00:27:03to get started here

00:27:04at the British Grand Prix,

00:27:05but in case you've missed

00:27:06any of the weekend,

00:27:07here's a wrap-up

00:27:08of what has happened so far.

00:27:14It's such a privilege

00:27:15and prosperous

00:27:15to be here

00:27:16representing the country.

00:27:19Massive round of applause

00:27:20for Arvid Lindblad

00:27:22as he arrives,

00:27:23here and still soon,

00:27:25taking his,

00:27:25taking home to the world.

00:27:28I am so happy,

00:27:30so, so happy.

00:27:32I'll give it absolutely

00:27:32everything for these fans.

00:27:34Lewis Hamilton's on

00:27:35Polish lights out

00:27:37and away we go

00:27:38and Hamilton gets away well.

00:27:40Antonelli just beginning

00:27:41to close on Lewis Hamilton.

00:27:44Here goes Kimi Antonelli.

00:27:48Let's fly a pass.

00:27:49He's got no power.

00:27:51Kimi Antonelli

00:27:52wins the Silverstone Sprint.

00:27:54Let's go.

00:27:55Let's go.

00:27:56In control all the way.

00:27:59Well, if you've recovered

00:28:00from the Sprint

00:28:01and you've had a little ride down,

00:28:03shall we get going

00:28:04with the main event?

00:28:05Can Lewis Hamilton

00:28:06have a second bowl

00:28:07this weekend?

00:28:08I see no reason why not.

00:28:09That is George Russell,

00:28:11I think,

00:28:11out of qualifying here.

00:28:13He has got it going.

00:28:14I've never looked there

00:28:15in my whole career.

00:28:17Franco Colopinto

00:28:18missed out on key two

00:28:19and that is where he lost it.

00:28:20Completely lost it.

00:28:23Give me Antonelli

00:28:24with his first time.

00:28:26He just can't slow the car down.

00:28:29Oh, this is not a disaster.

00:28:31Oh, this is not a disaster.

00:28:32Antonelli goes quickest.

00:28:36So the clock has started

00:28:38and we are into Q3.

00:28:43Kimi Antonelli,

00:28:44provisional pole

00:28:45with a 1.28.1.

00:28:48Charles Leclerc

00:28:49to the line

00:28:49on the front row

00:28:51ahead of George Russell.

00:28:52It's P3

00:28:53for Lewis Hamilton

00:28:55and it's the big five poles

00:28:57for Kimi Antonelli.

00:28:59Yes, Kimi.

00:28:59That's pole man.

00:29:04Yeah, Kimi is the story

00:29:06but he's been the story

00:29:07of the season.

00:29:07We've already discussed him.

00:29:09Let's talk about

00:29:09his teammate though, George.

00:29:11His best ever result

00:29:12is fifth here

00:29:13so never on the podium

00:29:14and just a way off

00:29:16and scratching his head

00:29:17again yesterday, Martin.

00:29:18I think they're pretty unique

00:29:20these latest 2026

00:29:22Formula 1 cars

00:29:22with all the energy deployment

00:29:24and you either find the way

00:29:26very quickly

00:29:26or you have to build up to it.

00:29:27I think we're seeing

00:29:28Charles Leclerc

00:29:29do the same thing

00:29:30as George Russell

00:29:32just slightly struggling

00:29:33with them.

00:29:34That was odd.

00:29:35We had a lock up

00:29:36and then I think

00:29:37the engine was still

00:29:38pushing him forward as well.

00:29:40He was lucky

00:29:40to get out of the gravel,

00:29:41wasn't he?

00:29:42It could have been

00:29:42an early pass for him.

00:29:43Yeah.

00:29:44And also that there was

00:29:45not that much damage.

00:29:46I mean the fact

00:29:46that he got back

00:29:47and just changed the nose

00:29:48and then still get a chance

00:29:49to try to fight

00:29:50for the pole position

00:29:51but it seems like

00:29:52he's lacking more

00:29:52than just that mistake.

00:29:53I mean he doesn't feel

00:29:54comfortable in these, does he?

00:29:55It doesn't look like

00:29:56he's able to do his thing

00:29:57in this car.

00:29:58We'll see what he can do

00:29:59in the race.

00:30:00But he was lucky

00:30:01in the gravel

00:30:02because there's usually

00:30:03a harder section

00:30:04where they take

00:30:04the service vehicles

00:30:05and there's been

00:30:06so much sun lately

00:30:07the gravel's baked

00:30:08and instead of going down

00:30:10and making a little

00:30:11castle of gravel

00:30:12he got out.

00:30:14And key for him

00:30:15because at least

00:30:16he's in play

00:30:17on the grid.

00:30:17He liked Max though

00:30:18at Jensen

00:30:19just struggling

00:30:20with top end speed.

00:30:21That seems to be

00:30:22the complaints

00:30:22that they've got

00:30:23which is actually

00:30:23quite surprising

00:30:24when you look

00:30:24at the Mercedes.

00:30:25Yeah but I don't know

00:30:26if that's actually

00:30:27a power unit issue

00:30:28in terms of

00:30:29just not producing

00:30:29as much power

00:30:30or if it's just

00:30:31the deployments

00:30:31not working

00:30:32the right way

00:30:32so we probably

00:30:34won't ever know

00:30:34but it'd be interesting

00:30:35to see how

00:30:36if they've been able

00:30:37to improve it

00:30:37from qualifying.

00:30:39Yeah.

00:30:39Talk about Max though

00:30:41I mean it's not often

00:30:42actually although

00:30:43Isak Azhar's done

00:30:44very well this year

00:30:45I think that's the

00:30:46third time he's out

00:30:46qualified his teammate

00:30:48and showing him

00:30:49a clean pair of heels

00:30:50yesterday but Max

00:30:50again he was just like

00:30:51there was something wrong

00:30:52that he felt that

00:30:53was going on with

00:30:54the engine early on

00:30:55and that was

00:30:55that was baked in

00:30:56for all of qualifying.

00:30:57But let's not forget

00:30:58that in Austria

00:30:59just you know

00:31:00a week ago

00:31:01he was second

00:31:02on the podium

00:31:03so you know

00:31:03there is some performance

00:31:05in that car

00:31:06and they do have

00:31:07the most

00:31:07the fastest

00:31:08let's say

00:31:09internal combustion

00:31:10engine

00:31:11which isn't

00:31:11the whole power unit

00:31:12they have suffered

00:31:13some reliability issues

00:31:14as well throughout

00:31:15the season so far

00:31:15but besides that

00:31:16you can tell that

00:31:17Max is just not

00:31:18enjoying his experience

00:31:19in the car

00:31:20I mean we've heard

00:31:21more positive words

00:31:21from him lately

00:31:22but yesterday

00:31:23it felt like a step

00:31:24back in the direction

00:31:25where he was just

00:31:26unhappy with everything

00:31:27that was going on

00:31:28with the car.

00:31:29I think at the moment

00:31:30and certainly around

00:31:31this layout

00:31:32it's not favouring

00:31:33a brave driver

00:31:34attacking the

00:31:36super high speed corners

00:31:37but also

00:31:38the biggest problem

00:31:39both Red Bull drivers

00:31:40have got

00:31:40getting it off

00:31:41the start line

00:31:42and not losing

00:31:43a hat full of places

00:31:44before they even

00:31:44get up and running.

00:31:46Would it be fair enough

00:31:47to say though

00:31:48because he's got a

00:31:49break clause

00:31:49in his contract

00:31:50which he can exercise

00:31:51in August

00:31:52he doesn't actually

00:31:53have to announce

00:31:53to the team

00:31:54if he has done that

00:31:55and he's taken that

00:31:56option until October

00:31:57that's if he finishes

00:31:58outside

00:31:59or he's outside

00:32:00of the top two

00:32:01at that break

00:32:02he needs to go in

00:32:04and believe that

00:32:04this is a Red Bull

00:32:05after those upgrades

00:32:06that can consistently

00:32:07compete

00:32:08does he not

00:32:08or do you think

00:32:09that he will get

00:32:10itchy feet?

00:32:11Yeah I think the team

00:32:12are massively under pressure

00:32:13to keep Max

00:32:14the best driver

00:32:16on the grid

00:32:16possibly

00:32:18with the performance

00:32:19they've had

00:32:19and the amount of people

00:32:20that have been

00:32:21leaving the team

00:32:21the people that Max

00:32:22surrounded himself with

00:32:24are all off

00:32:25so it must feel

00:32:26like a very

00:32:26it's a very strange

00:32:27atmosphere for him

00:32:28so no his manager

00:32:29is right to be talking

00:32:30to other teams

00:32:31and I'm sure

00:32:32there's going to be

00:32:32a couple of possibilities

00:32:34but everyone's

00:32:34under contract

00:32:35but who knows

00:32:36if that's worth much

00:32:37It's kind of a change

00:32:38of ethos

00:32:39isn't it at Red Bull

00:32:39if we take the iteration

00:32:41that has existed

00:32:43up until this brain drain

00:32:45and since Christian left

00:32:46it feels like it's getting

00:32:47more along the lines

00:32:48of you know

00:32:49the kind of Red Bull

00:32:50football fraternities

00:32:51it's getting more corporate

00:32:52they're absolutely

00:32:53a team in transition

00:32:54are they not?

00:32:55Oh 100%

00:32:56I mean obviously

00:32:57I haven't been to

00:32:57very many races

00:32:58this year yet

00:32:59but I have to say

00:33:00that when I walk

00:33:00into the Red Bull

00:33:01hospitality day

00:33:02I feel like

00:33:03I don't know

00:33:03many people in there

00:33:04whereas before

00:33:04you knew quite a lot

00:33:06of them

00:33:06so it really does feel

00:33:07like there is a lot

00:33:08of change going on

00:33:08behind the scenes

00:33:09and you know

00:33:10maybe some of those

00:33:11changes are some

00:33:12that maybe Max

00:33:12was you know

00:33:13in favour of

00:33:14maybe some others not

00:33:15but the fact of the

00:33:16matter is

00:33:17you know

00:33:17at the end of the day

00:33:18Max has been in that team

00:33:19for a very long time

00:33:20and it's a culture

00:33:21that he fitted

00:33:22into or fit into

00:33:23very well

00:33:24where will he go next

00:33:25where's the right place

00:33:26for him

00:33:27I know that obviously

00:33:28this season

00:33:28a lot has changed

00:33:29and so it was wise

00:33:30of him to stay at Red Bull

00:33:31for the moment

00:33:32to see you know

00:33:32where would be

00:33:33the most favourable

00:33:34place to go

00:33:34and yeah

00:33:35it looks like

00:33:36there's other places

00:33:36that might be a little

00:33:37bit quicker for him

00:33:38at the moment

00:33:39I think

00:33:40I'm

00:33:40I think if he could go

00:33:42he would

00:33:42he will go

00:33:43at some point

00:33:44whether it's 28

00:33:45or 27

00:33:47and do something

00:33:48fresh for him

00:33:49we see drivers do that

00:33:51we saw Lewis Hamilton

00:33:51do that

00:33:52for example

00:33:53and get a reset

00:33:55and a new challenge

00:33:56after a very very long

00:33:57time

00:33:58in a team

00:33:59he put some faith

00:34:01in the new power unit

00:34:02and they've proven to be

00:34:03it's proven to be

00:34:03a very good decision

00:34:04and I wouldn't count him

00:34:06out for a decent result

00:34:07again this afternoon

00:34:08but the problem Max has got

00:34:10there are only three teams

00:34:11he can look at

00:34:12which are Ferrari

00:34:12McLaren

00:34:13and Mercedes

00:34:13and they all seem

00:34:14very very locked in

00:34:16to their current driver lineups

00:34:17for at least 2027

00:34:19and quite often

00:34:21way beyond

00:34:22yeah you definitely

00:34:22have to doff your cap

00:34:23though don't you

00:34:24to Red Bull Power Trace

00:34:25to come out of the blocks

00:34:26firing as they have

00:34:27and have effectively

00:34:28the best engine

00:34:29on the grid

00:34:30or so they say

00:34:31and that has been adjudicated

00:34:33right this is the plan

00:34:34up until lights

00:34:35at 10 to 2

00:34:37a special moment

00:34:39for Oli Behrman

00:34:40as he stepped back

00:34:41in time

00:34:41to feel how Senna

00:34:42must have felt

00:34:43driving his Lotus

00:34:45this is it

00:34:46are you excited

00:34:46I can't wait

00:34:48I can't wait

00:34:48I'm going to go

00:34:49sit on the pit wall

00:34:49take some videos for me

00:34:50I will

00:34:51at 10 past

00:34:52Lewis Hamilton

00:34:52reflects on his season

00:34:54so far

00:34:54Hamilton is back

00:34:56I'm thinking about winning

00:34:57that's what I'm working towards

00:34:58when I'm on my bike

00:34:59or I'm training

00:35:00in the gym

00:35:00or out on my runs

00:35:02that's what I'm pushing

00:35:03my heart to

00:35:04the pit lane

00:35:05is open for business

00:35:06at 20 past

00:35:09Martin's Pack

00:35:10Gridwalk

00:35:10gets underway

00:35:11at half past 2

00:35:13and it's lights out

00:35:14for the British Grand Prix

00:35:16at 3

00:35:25so still loads

00:35:26to keep you occupied

00:35:28talking about staying occupied

00:35:30what a busy weekend

00:35:31he has had

00:35:31but that's what happens

00:35:32when you're a world champion

00:35:33that's what happens

00:35:34when you're the reigning winner

00:35:35of the British Grand Prix

00:35:37and when you have a stand

00:35:38of 16,000 people

00:35:40all dressed in your colours

00:35:42wearing your merch

00:35:43and chanting your name

00:35:44that's the case for

00:35:46Lando Norris

00:35:47will continue build up

00:35:48in a couple of moments time

00:36:00welcome back

00:36:01with a carnage

00:36:02to start the day

00:36:03that's the first race

00:36:04to get you all

00:36:05in the mood

00:36:05there were plenty

00:36:06in the gravel

00:36:07there were a few shots

00:36:09in the end

00:36:09it was Fernando Alonso

00:36:10who came out

00:36:12on top

00:36:12let's go to this guy

00:36:13to prepare the top

00:36:14two from yesterday

00:36:17thanks Simon

00:36:18yeah I really enjoyed

00:36:19qualifying yesterday

00:36:20a great showdown

00:36:21between the top four

00:36:22I'd say

00:36:22the two Mercedes drivers

00:36:23and the two Ferrari drivers

00:36:25it boiled down to this though

00:36:26Charles Leclerc

00:36:27versus Kimi Antonelli

00:36:28we got the ghost car

00:36:29but also the side by sides

00:36:31we rolled it on

00:36:32you can see instantly

00:36:33Antonelli's ahead

00:36:34better deployment

00:36:35from the Mercedes

00:36:36perhaps than the Ferrari

00:36:37on the run

00:36:38past the Hamilton straight

00:36:39now you're into

00:36:40the tricky corner

00:36:40very windy here

00:36:42yesterday

00:36:42and if you look

00:36:43at Antonelli's on board

00:36:45I'll just wind it back

00:36:45slowly actually

00:36:47if you watch

00:36:48Antonelli's on board

00:36:49he's just fighting

00:36:51the car

00:36:51ever so slightly

00:36:52on the entry

00:36:53and that allows

00:36:55Leclerc

00:36:56just to gain a bit

00:36:56of extra speed

00:36:57through there

00:36:58and it actually is

00:36:59ahead

00:36:59by the time he gets

00:37:00to the loop

00:37:01at turn four

00:37:02and stays ahead

00:37:03on the exit of that one

00:37:04through turn five

00:37:05and onto the Wellington straight

00:37:06we'll go back

00:37:07to the side by side

00:37:08to pick up Antonelli

00:37:09seeing he's behind

00:37:10at this stage

00:37:11he's not far behind

00:37:12if we just look

00:37:13at the 100 metre board

00:37:13as a reference there

00:37:14on the right hand side

00:37:16still very close

00:37:18and obviously

00:37:18within striking distance

00:37:20through the very tricky

00:37:21turn six at Brooklands

00:37:23and then turn seven

00:37:24at Luffield

00:37:25now Antonelli

00:37:26was taking a different

00:37:27line here

00:37:27to many others

00:37:28and keeping it tighter

00:37:30you can see closer

00:37:31to this right hand curb

00:37:32than this competition

00:37:33and particularly Leclerc

00:37:35and here

00:37:36you can see

00:37:36in the ghost car

00:37:37he's just starting

00:37:39to appear

00:37:39with Leclerc

00:37:40but on the exit

00:37:41Leclerc gets on power

00:37:42earlier

00:37:43and pulls away

00:37:44we go back

00:37:45to just a single shot

00:37:46of Leclerc

00:37:47so no sign of Antonelli

00:37:48here

00:37:48from the ghost car

00:37:50through Cop's corner

00:37:51we go

00:37:52just down one gear

00:37:53watch out for that

00:37:54white line

00:37:54as both drivers did

00:37:56then you're into

00:37:57Maggots and Beckett's

00:37:58and still no sign

00:37:59of Antonelli

00:38:00and you think

00:38:00at this stage

00:38:01where is he

00:38:02where's the ghost car

00:38:02going to appear

00:38:03the Merc's been

00:38:04very quick here

00:38:04and there he is

00:38:06through turn 13

00:38:07at the exit of Beckett's

00:38:08and through Chapel

00:38:09then the Mercedes

00:38:10deploys more energy

00:38:12and we've seen that

00:38:13the whole week so far

00:38:14and that's exactly

00:38:15how it played out

00:38:16in qualifying

00:38:17a huge gain there

00:38:18from Kimi

00:38:19through 13

00:38:20and down the hangar straight

00:38:21a little bit of gain

00:38:23as you always see

00:38:23from when you're

00:38:24racing the car in front

00:38:25into the braking zone

00:38:26but on the exit

00:38:27Antonelli gets back

00:38:29on power once again

00:38:30and extends that gap

00:38:31and takes it to the line

00:38:33so that's how

00:38:33qualifying unfolded yesterday

00:38:35but when you look

00:38:36at margins this close

00:38:37it could be a very

00:38:38exciting and long race

00:38:39today

00:38:40back to you Simon

00:38:40yeah thanks Ant

00:38:42we hope so

00:38:43we really do

00:38:44and this is the state

00:38:45of play

00:38:46after the sprint

00:38:47on Saturday

00:38:48it's only the top half

00:38:49that was affected

00:38:50Kimi Antonelli

00:38:51was 40 points

00:38:52at the start of the weekend

00:38:53but extending that lead

00:38:54over his teammate

00:38:55George Russell

00:38:56to 43

00:38:56starting in first

00:38:57and fourth respectively

00:38:59Lewis is four points

00:39:01further adrift

00:39:02of his former teammate

00:39:03in turn

00:39:0447 clear

00:39:05of Lando Norris

00:39:0649 clear

00:39:08of his teammate

00:39:08Charles Leclerc

00:39:09albeit Charles

00:39:10finally a little bit

00:39:11of form

00:39:11as we just saw

00:39:12there yesterday

00:39:13in qualifying

00:39:14to start on the front row

00:39:15there comes Oscar Piastri

00:39:16point behind him

00:39:17Max Verstappen

00:39:18closing in

00:39:19after a decent effort

00:39:21in Austria

00:39:22but starting from 7th

00:39:23as we've discussed

00:39:24Hadjar Gasly

00:39:25and Lawson

00:39:26making up the rest

00:39:27of the top 10

00:39:27as far as the other

00:39:28two Brits are concerned

00:39:30got a lovely piece

00:39:31coming up

00:39:31with Oli Behrman

00:39:32but has only scored

00:39:33one point

00:39:34since China

00:39:35he's in 11th

00:39:36on 18

00:39:37Arvid Lindblad

00:39:38four points

00:39:39behind him

00:39:39and the first

00:39:40British teenager

00:39:41to take part

00:39:43in the British Grand Prix

00:39:44four to get off the mark

00:39:46in Hülkenberg

00:39:46Bottas

00:39:47Perez

00:39:47and Stroll

00:39:50so in the constructors

00:39:52Mercedes

00:39:52with exactly

00:39:53100 point lead

00:39:54over Ferrari

00:39:55then 48 to McLaren

00:39:5649 further back

00:39:57to Red Bull

00:39:58then Alpine

00:39:59leading the Racing Bulls

00:40:00by 12

00:40:01but the Racing Bulls

00:40:02actually

00:40:02both cars

00:40:03inside the top 10

00:40:04and looking good

00:40:05this weekend

00:40:05now Jensen

00:40:06Naomi

00:40:07we were talking

00:40:08about hypotheticals

00:40:09yesterday

00:40:09you love a bit

00:40:10of hypothetical stuff

00:40:12here we go again

00:40:12yeah here we go again

00:40:14I know

00:40:15we've talked about

00:40:16the Ferrari's

00:40:16fast starting

00:40:17all year

00:40:18but actually

00:40:19Kimi Antonelli

00:40:20has looked a lot better

00:40:22it was a tough start

00:40:23to the year

00:40:24smaller turbos

00:40:25etc etc

00:40:25so how much

00:40:26of a factor today

00:40:28well looking at yesterday

00:40:30Kimi's going to be confident

00:40:31you know

00:40:31coming to the start

00:40:32and that was kind of

00:40:33his Achilles heel

00:40:33at the start of the year

00:40:34wasn't it

00:40:35poor starts

00:40:35but yesterday

00:40:36seemed strong

00:40:37but for Ferrari

00:40:38they've got to be on top

00:40:39of him from the word go

00:40:40and the good thing

00:40:41Ferrari is they have

00:40:42two cars up there

00:40:43that can probably

00:40:44play around with the

00:40:45strategy a little bit

00:40:45one will pit early

00:40:46try and drag

00:40:47Kimi to pit early

00:40:49as well

00:40:49and we all know

00:40:50the first stint

00:40:51should be a lot longer

00:40:52so the other driver

00:40:52will go long

00:40:53but it's picking

00:40:54which driver

00:40:55right

00:40:55you're going to

00:40:56sacrifice in a race

00:40:57to win overall

00:40:58and I think

00:41:00it's going to depend

00:41:00who's leading

00:41:01before that first pit stop

00:41:02I suppose the main

00:41:03hypothetical

00:41:04that we were talking

00:41:05about was

00:41:06should the Ferrari

00:41:07the best chance

00:41:07of them winning

00:41:08right

00:41:08both Ferraris

00:41:08to get ahead of Kimi

00:41:09at the start

00:41:10and then work together

00:41:11is that fair

00:41:12100%

00:41:13I don't think

00:41:13there's any more

00:41:14to add to that

00:41:14obviously

00:41:15I think yesterday

00:41:16Lewis didn't take

00:41:18quite as good a start

00:41:19as Antonelli did

00:41:19but Lewis was very

00:41:21aggressive at the start

00:41:21closing the door

00:41:22squeezing Antonelli

00:41:23and I think he'll take

00:41:24some learnings from that

00:41:25but honestly

00:41:26if he gets a good start

00:41:27and let's not forget

00:41:27that a start is not

00:41:28just the driver's job

00:41:29I mean yes

00:41:30there's the element

00:41:30of clutch control

00:41:31and all of that

00:41:32but it's teamwork

00:41:33a lot of the work

00:41:34gets done on the pit wall

00:41:35as well

00:41:35and it goes both ways

00:41:36and Mercedes haven't

00:41:38had the smoother start

00:41:38to their starts this year

00:41:40but they have come around

00:41:41they have got it better

00:41:42but is it going to

00:41:43niggle in his mind

00:41:44is it going to be

00:41:44that little bit

00:41:45of extra pressure

00:41:46two Ferraris

00:41:46you know

00:41:47one alongside him

00:41:47one behind him

00:41:48you know

00:41:49let's see if he keeps

00:41:50his cool in that moment

00:41:51the data shows

00:41:52that Antonelli

00:41:53was faster off the line

00:41:54yesterday

00:41:54than Lewis Hamilton

00:41:55in the Ferrari

00:41:57so I think

00:41:58that Ferrari advantage

00:42:00is now gone

00:42:00other than with Red Bull

00:42:02who are struggling

00:42:03but I think what Ferrari

00:42:04are a little bit nervous

00:42:05of

00:42:05first of all

00:42:06everybody was trigger happy

00:42:07on the boost

00:42:08the crazy first few laps

00:42:09and then they need

00:42:11half a dozen laps

00:42:12to sort themselves out

00:42:13is why it all calms down

00:42:14will they do that

00:42:15so much in a Grand Prix

00:42:17rather than a 17 lap sprint

00:42:18we will find out

00:42:19but it's a little bit

00:42:20too tempting

00:42:21to get in a few places

00:42:23we will get a bit

00:42:24of craziness

00:42:24in the first couple

00:42:25three laps

00:42:27but Ferrari know

00:42:28that actually

00:42:29they've got an advantage

00:42:30over McLaren and Red Bull

00:42:31if they squabble

00:42:33too much

00:42:33with the Mercedes

00:42:34early doors

00:42:35it'll bring Red Bull

00:42:37and McLaren into play

00:42:38so I think

00:42:39they're looking

00:42:39in their rear view mirrors

00:42:40not to let that develop

00:42:42and then try and build

00:42:43the gap

00:42:44and stay with Mercedes

00:42:45Joe

00:42:45we came into this weekend

00:42:46there were a lot

00:42:47of drivers moaning

00:42:47this is going to be

00:42:48an energy star circuit

00:42:49they've got out there

00:42:50and actually

00:42:51they've really doled down

00:42:52and I think

00:42:53as far as the public

00:42:55and the fans are concerned

00:42:56those opening laps

00:42:57as you mentioned

00:42:58the yo-yo stuff

00:42:59that you get

00:43:00with these regulations

00:43:01it might not always be

00:43:02you know

00:43:03it's not about

00:43:03that's a pure overtake

00:43:05you certainly get

00:43:06a lot of movement

00:43:07don't you

00:43:07but they're still

00:43:07pure overtakes

00:43:08we've always had

00:43:09something in racing

00:43:10that's helped us

00:43:11to overtake the car

00:43:11in front

00:43:12whether it's a better car

00:43:13or it's actually a system

00:43:14within the car

00:43:15that helps you overtake

00:43:15so if you watch

00:43:16these cars out on track

00:43:18they look amazing

00:43:19they don't look

00:43:20slow in any way

00:43:21shape or form

00:43:22the speed they're

00:43:23carrying into turn one

00:43:24maggots, beckets

00:43:25it's just phenomenal

00:43:26and if you do ever

00:43:28get a chance

00:43:28to watch an F1 car

00:43:29this circuit

00:43:30is the one to come to

00:43:31because it's where

00:43:32it's at its best

00:43:32and this year

00:43:33is no different

00:43:33to any other

00:43:34I didn't like the way

00:43:35that Anthony Lee

00:43:36breezed past

00:43:37at 25 miles an hour

00:43:38more yesterday

00:43:39but you know

00:43:41if somebody's got

00:43:42way better tires

00:43:43than another driver

00:43:44that's still a pure

00:43:45overtake

00:43:46because strategy wise

00:43:47that's what they've done

00:43:48and if a driver

00:43:49is managing his car

00:43:50better

00:43:51and what happened

00:43:52yesterday

00:43:52with the big

00:43:53breeze by

00:43:54was Anthony Lee

00:43:55put Hamilton

00:43:56under pressure

00:43:57got him out of position

00:43:58Lewis couldn't drive

00:43:59exactly how he wanted

00:44:00had to boost

00:44:01to defend that position

00:44:02and then

00:44:03left him exposed

00:44:05down the hangar straight

00:44:05so there's strategy

00:44:07involved

00:44:07it's not just

00:44:08you know

00:44:09it's not all just

00:44:10about electronics

00:44:12and algorithms

00:44:13yeah

00:44:13as Martin points out

00:44:14I mean

00:44:15at the end of the day

00:44:16they all are pretty much

00:44:17equipped with the same tools

00:44:18the rules are the same

00:44:19for everybody

00:44:20and whilst yes

00:44:20maybe it's not the purest form

00:44:22of wheel-to-wheel racing

00:44:23that we know

00:44:24from maybe

00:44:25the days back in karting

00:44:26but as Jensen pointed out

00:44:27you know

00:44:28there was curves back in the day

00:44:29then there was DRS

00:44:30and there's always been

00:44:31these mechanisms

00:44:31that drivers have to help

00:44:32them overtake

00:44:33now yes

00:44:34it's slightly more extreme

00:44:35but it just unlocks

00:44:36a whole new set of challenges

00:44:38that you know

00:44:38you have to think about

00:44:39where you're going to be deploying

00:44:40this trick we've been hearing

00:44:42about Mercedes drivers

00:44:43slightly lifting off the throttle

00:44:44all these little things

00:44:45that require more capacity

00:44:47as well in the cockpit

00:44:48are putting these drivers

00:44:50under more pressure

00:44:50whether it's the best

00:44:52rawest racing we've seen or not

00:44:53the problem is

00:44:54it's not tangible

00:44:56you can see the wings

00:44:57going up and down

00:44:58you can see all

00:44:59fresh tyres going on

00:45:00we can't really see

00:45:01the state of charge

00:45:02of the battery

00:45:03that's the issue we've got

00:45:04at the moment

00:45:04for fully explaining it

00:45:05we'll get it sorted

00:45:06we're going to hear from Lewis

00:45:07we've got a dedicated part

00:45:09for Lewis Hamilton

00:45:10coming up

00:45:11but his teammate

00:45:12Charles Leclerc

00:45:12what was it

00:45:13three points

00:45:13four points

00:45:14I think

00:45:14from the last three races

00:45:16why is he being suffered

00:45:17why is he 49 points

00:45:19behind his teammate

00:45:20compared to last year

00:45:21I think a lot of it

00:45:22comes from Monaco onwards

00:45:23you know

00:45:24he's had the pace

00:45:24he had the pace

00:45:25at the start of the year

00:45:26but Monaco

00:45:26he had the incident

00:45:27when he was unbelievably quick

00:45:29but he put it in the wall

00:45:30it's a back

00:45:31he also put it in the wall

00:45:32in Barcelona

00:45:34in qualifying

00:45:35so he's not had an easy run

00:45:37of it

00:45:37he maybe was overdriving

00:45:38a little bit

00:45:39so he's had to take

00:45:39a bit of a reset

00:45:40and try and work out

00:45:42what works with these cars

00:45:43and what doesn't

00:45:43overdriving obviously

00:45:44doesn't work

00:45:46and it was really good

00:45:47to see him

00:45:47fighting for that pole position

00:45:49yesterday

00:45:50it's the first time

00:45:50for a long time

00:45:51he's been up there

00:45:52with Lewis

00:45:52we have a briefing

00:45:53on a race day

00:45:55Crofty and I

00:45:55with Ferrari

00:45:56we asked that question

00:45:57and it's exactly like

00:45:59Jensen was just explaining

00:46:00basically

00:46:02Charles

00:46:02just lives on his wits

00:46:04loves to throw a car in

00:46:05pick it up

00:46:06sort it out

00:46:07now you're going to have

00:46:08to be so much more

00:46:09controlled on the power

00:46:10how you deploy your power

00:46:11spin the wheels

00:46:12you waste some battery power

00:46:13it'll hurt you

00:46:14at the end of the straight

00:46:15and I think

00:46:15Charles is having to

00:46:16almost relearn

00:46:18how to drive these cars

00:46:19because his normal style

00:46:20is more gung-ho than that

00:46:23right

00:46:23we've got a lovely feature

00:46:25coming up

00:46:26I'll tee that up

00:46:26in a couple of moments time

00:46:28about legends

00:46:29there's one

00:46:301992 world champion

00:46:32Nigel Mansell

00:46:33talking to Alex Albon

00:46:35that is the helmet

00:46:36that you want in Barcelona

00:46:37when he took over

00:46:38as the man that has

00:46:39raced the most times

00:46:40for Williams

00:46:41a lovely presentation

00:46:43for the great man

00:46:44talking of great men

00:46:45none greater than

00:46:46Ayrton Senna

00:46:47and what a day

00:46:49for Oli Behrman

00:46:49that is next

00:46:56I think it's a sensory overload

00:46:58when you first get into

00:46:59one of these cars

00:47:00with a turbo

00:47:01you're just trying to get the lag

00:47:02oh look at that

00:47:03he's singing

00:47:03he's singing down

00:47:04hangar straight

00:47:05I can hear him

00:47:12oh that was

00:47:14so special

00:47:20let's keep watching

00:47:41Oli we've dragged you

00:47:42from your normal world

00:47:43into the past

00:47:44what do you think of this

00:47:45the 1985 Ayrton Senna Lotus

00:47:48in which he won

00:47:49his first ever Grand Prix

00:47:51in Estoril

00:47:51Senna is one of the best drivers

00:47:53that we've ever had

00:47:54and never will have

00:47:55so seeing the car

00:47:56that he raced

00:47:57and won his first race

00:47:58in is quite an emotional moment

00:47:59shall we see if you fit

00:48:01yeah let's give it a go

00:48:02this is it

00:48:03moment of truth

00:48:04this is still

00:48:05Ayrton's seat by the way

00:48:06this is the original

00:48:07Senna seat from 85

00:48:10oh it's perfect

00:48:12you win

00:48:14easily

00:48:15I have a question

00:48:15have you ever driven

00:48:16a stick shift race car before

00:48:18I've driven a stick shift race car

00:48:19but not a stick shift single seater

00:48:21that's way before my time

00:48:23I've always had paddles

00:48:24but I mean this is incredible

00:48:26so close to the front axle as well

00:48:28I know

00:48:29you can see so much

00:48:30can't you

00:48:30from where you're sitting

00:48:31I mean our front tyres

00:48:33are metres away from us

00:48:35you know

00:48:36it's comfy

00:48:36I mean

00:48:38I feel like I'm ready to go

00:48:41does this bring back memories?

00:48:42it always brings back memories

00:48:43the thing that always gets me

00:48:45is that when I was 23

00:48:49getting off all over the place

00:48:50and having a great time

00:48:51with a Formula 1 team

00:48:52never ever did I once dream

00:48:54that we'd still be looking after it

00:48:55and still driving it

00:48:5642 years later

00:48:58or whatever it is

00:49:00we have the best car

00:49:02the best engine

00:49:02and the best driver

00:49:03in 85

00:49:05the car was marvellous

00:49:06the team have provided me

00:49:09with a fantastic car

00:49:10and I'm very very grateful

00:49:13just have a go mate

00:49:14yeah

00:49:14see what happens

00:49:18this is it

00:49:19are you excited?

00:49:20I can't wait

00:49:21I can't wait

00:49:22I'm going to go sit on the pit wall

00:49:22take some videos for me

00:49:24I will

00:49:41and he's off

00:49:43he sounds really really excited

00:49:45I'm getting full

00:49:46kid in a candy store vibes

00:49:49I'd be very lucky

00:49:50to have driven

00:49:50lots of historic cars

00:49:52and it feels so aily

00:49:53when you first do it

00:49:54but you know what

00:49:55I decided for him

00:49:56because this is such a

00:49:57cool era of F1

00:49:58turbo cars

00:49:59Senna, Prost, Mansell

00:50:01great names

00:50:07I think it's a sensory overload

00:50:09when you first get into

00:50:10one of these cars

00:50:11with the turbo

00:50:11you're just trying to get the lag

00:50:12oh look at that

00:50:13he's singing

00:50:14he's singing down

00:50:15Hangar Street

00:50:15I can hear him

00:50:23here he comes

00:50:24here he comes

00:50:33that's amazing

00:50:34you hear him

00:50:35popping off the red limiter there

00:50:36good blip

00:50:37down into the first corner

00:50:49this is just pure joy

00:51:19oh that was

00:51:21so special

00:51:27that's quite something

00:51:28isn't it

00:51:30I had to do another lap

00:51:31I'm really glad

00:51:34I wanted to keep going

00:51:40you're still shaking

00:51:42is that the most special thing

00:51:44you've driven

00:51:44this is like

00:51:46does it feel like a reminder

00:51:47of why you became

00:51:48a racing driver

00:51:51yeah

00:51:54that's great

00:51:55to see you in that

00:51:57thank you so much

00:51:59good to see it going around you

00:53:19when you get a dive

00:53:20there's so little time

00:53:22before

00:53:23you have to go up

00:53:25into the next hill

00:53:26up to maggots

00:53:41in pop gear

00:53:44second gear

00:53:45in the club

00:53:56the biggest thing

00:53:57when you're driving

00:53:59a manual gearbox

00:54:00like this

00:54:00you come out of corners

00:54:02you have to think

00:54:03do I want to shot you

00:54:05do I dare

00:54:06take my hand

00:54:07off the wheel

00:54:12wow

00:54:13a sunny

00:54:14surfaced in circuit

00:54:15driving the car

00:54:17in which arguably

00:54:18the greatest

00:54:19Formula 1 driver

00:54:20of all time

00:54:21won his first Grand Prix

00:54:24this has been amazing

00:54:25amazing

00:54:38what a day

00:54:38how do you feel

00:54:39that was an incredibly

00:54:41special experience

00:54:43they were very strict

00:54:44on telling me

00:54:45to only do one lap

00:54:46or two laps

00:54:47I forgot

00:54:49and did an extra one

00:54:50I was just getting

00:54:52the feel of the gearbox

00:54:52and feeling actually

00:54:54finally the grip

00:54:55of the car

00:54:55and it was

00:54:57so incredibly fun

00:54:58and yeah

00:55:00powerful to drive

00:55:01is it nice

00:55:02to take a step back

00:55:03and just discover

00:55:04the love of driving

00:55:05yeah I think

00:55:06sometimes you have

00:55:07these days in racing

00:55:08where it reminds you

00:55:10of why you fell in love

00:55:11with the sport

00:55:11and of course

00:55:12I was never around

00:55:14to watch Ayrton

00:55:15and his victories

00:55:17but he's someone

00:55:19that you know

00:55:20when I was growing up

00:55:20he was like the

00:55:21king

00:55:22the king of F1

00:55:24you know

00:55:24so

00:55:25being able

00:55:26to drive his car

00:55:26and having that

00:55:29opportunity

00:55:29was a very special

00:55:30moment for me

00:55:31and I feel

00:55:32incredibly grateful

00:55:38well Oli

00:55:39can we talk

00:55:39different cars

00:55:40different emotions

00:55:41we've just seen

00:55:42that incredibly

00:55:42powerful feature

00:55:43of you driving

00:55:44Senna's Lotus

00:55:45I mean

00:55:46are you still

00:55:47buzzing after that

00:55:48an experience

00:55:48to treasure

00:55:49yeah that was an experience

00:55:50for a lifetime

00:55:51for sure

00:55:51and they very strictly

00:55:53told me to do

00:55:54only three laps

00:55:54I went for a fourth

00:55:56because I thought

00:55:56that might be the best

00:55:57time you ever get to drive

00:55:58that and probably will be

00:55:59so I enjoyed everything

00:56:02I saw that coming

00:56:03I enjoyed every moment

00:56:04it was incredibly special

00:56:05and powerful for me

00:56:07Senna is an icon

00:56:08for any F1 driver

00:56:09I was never of course

00:56:11around to watch him racing

00:56:12but he's a very powerful

00:56:14figure for us

00:56:15and it was incredibly

00:56:16special to drive his car

00:56:17from Sublime to the Ridiculous

00:56:18Lotus to Lego

00:56:19what was that like

00:56:20yeah the lap of the Lego

00:56:22was a bit less

00:56:24powerful or moving

00:56:25let's say

00:56:26than the one in the Senna car

00:56:27but it's still fun

00:56:29it's nice to let our hair down

00:56:30but now we have to get

00:56:31serious again

00:56:31yeah

00:56:32what about the race car

00:56:33finally

00:56:33what emotions

00:56:34can that give you today

00:56:35can you get points in it

00:56:37yeah

00:56:37I mean

00:56:39realistically

00:56:40I think it's going to be

00:56:42emotions of disappointment

00:56:43because the car has been

00:56:45not that impressive this weekend

00:56:46we've struggled for pace

00:56:48I think realistically

00:56:49our fight is with Williams

00:56:51today we're ahead of Alpine

00:56:52because of

00:56:53you know

00:56:54they had a challenge

00:56:54in qualifying

00:56:55and I think a good result

00:56:56will be beating them

00:56:59points will be a challenge

00:57:00but of course

00:57:00we'll give it our all

00:57:01and see what we can do

00:57:02best of luck to you

00:57:03thank you so much

00:57:04thanks

00:57:08I've watched that piece

00:57:09two or three times now

00:57:10it's not a dry eye

00:57:11in the house

00:57:12looking at the reaction

00:57:13that Oli had

00:57:14to driving Senna's car

00:57:15I mean

00:57:16it must just have

00:57:17really touched

00:57:18something deep within there

00:57:19because

00:57:19I mean

00:57:20I've never seen

00:57:21something like that

00:57:21from a driver

00:57:22no I think we often

00:57:24see a version

00:57:24of the drivers

00:57:25that's you know

00:57:26behind sort of

00:57:27a protective wall

00:57:28and there I think

00:57:29he really let his guard down

00:57:30and I think

00:57:31I can understand

00:57:32I mean

00:57:32you know

00:57:32even if I just

00:57:33put myself

00:57:34into his shoes

00:57:35I mean

00:57:35I was born

00:57:3617 days after Senna's death

00:57:38and we hear about

00:57:39this person

00:57:40who was the biggest legend

00:57:41of our sport

00:57:42but we were never there

00:57:43to see him do his thing

00:57:44like many others

00:57:45were very lucky to do

00:57:46so I think

00:57:46there's this element

00:57:48of like us wanting

00:57:48to live in that moment

00:57:50and I think

00:57:51you know

00:57:51getting in the car

00:57:52like he did

00:57:53brings up some

00:57:53of that emotion

00:57:54I mean

00:57:54I was lucky enough

00:57:55two years ago

00:57:56around the circuit

00:57:57as well

00:57:57to get into Senna's

00:57:58very first Formula 1 car

00:57:59the Tolman

00:58:01TG183B

00:58:02and I felt

00:58:03very emotional

00:58:04about it as well

00:58:05I mean

00:58:05it was his original

00:58:06steering wheel

00:58:06as well

00:58:07there was also

00:58:07an element

00:58:08of absolute fear

00:58:09because of the

00:58:09H-pattern gearbox

00:58:10which my generation

00:58:12of drivers

00:58:12never really had

00:58:13to learn to drive

00:58:13with all that

00:58:14good stuff

00:58:14like double clutching

00:58:15and kneeling

00:58:16towing

00:58:16and all that stuff

00:58:17that we didn't

00:58:17really have to learn

00:58:18Martin

00:58:19a different experience

00:58:21for you

00:58:21you grew up

00:58:22racing against him

00:58:23you had some

00:58:23amazing tussles

00:58:24didn't you

00:58:25in the Formula

00:58:25coming through

00:58:26to Formula 1

00:58:27and then of course

00:58:28you've driven

00:58:29a few of his cars

00:58:30I don't want to

00:58:32get too existential

00:58:33about this

00:58:33but do you kind of

00:58:34feel his presence

00:58:35when you're sitting

00:58:36in one of those

00:58:36things like the MP44

00:58:38and you think

00:58:38wow

00:58:39the history created

00:58:40from these things

00:58:41to keep those cars

00:58:42running

00:58:43I have been lucky

00:58:44enough to drive

00:58:44that car

00:58:45not exactly that

00:58:46one by one

00:58:47similar to it

00:58:48I mean they were

00:58:49iconic

00:58:49even when they were

00:58:50ticking over

00:58:50they were iconic

00:58:52the Renault Turbo

00:58:54and the way Senna

00:58:55used to play

00:58:55with the throttle

00:58:56was unique

00:58:57to keep the boost

00:58:58up

00:58:58and yes

00:58:59the great man

00:59:00and they should

00:59:01have obviously

00:59:02gone on to win

00:59:02a lot more

00:59:03world championships

00:59:04but I love

00:59:06watching that

00:59:07because those

00:59:08lack of words

00:59:09and the tears

00:59:10spoke volumes

00:59:12and for a young

00:59:13driver to

00:59:15appreciate so much

00:59:16the history of the

00:59:17sport

00:59:17and that of the

00:59:19great man

00:59:19in Senna

00:59:20was magnificent

00:59:21it made me feel

00:59:22really good all round

00:59:23even as you say

00:59:24with kind of a little

00:59:24tear in my eye

00:59:25yeah

00:59:25amazing

00:59:26just with regards

00:59:27to Ollie

00:59:28I think the job

00:59:28he's done

00:59:28this year

00:59:29he's perhaps

00:59:31struggling a little

00:59:32bit there

00:59:32for 14th

00:59:33I mean you don't

00:59:33know what he's

00:59:34going to be able

00:59:34to do

00:59:34but he might

00:59:35have to be patient

00:59:35because of what's

00:59:37going on at Ferrari

00:59:38at the moment

00:59:39yeah it's a tricky

00:59:40one for him

00:59:41I think he's just

00:59:41going to get his

00:59:42head down

00:59:42and keep driving

00:59:43the way he is

00:59:43you know unbelievably

00:59:45quick and growing

00:59:46all the time

00:59:46and as we said

00:59:48you know wearing

00:59:48his heart on his

00:59:49sleeve

00:59:49which I love about

00:59:50a lot of the

00:59:51racing drivers right

00:59:51now

00:59:52they're very open

00:59:52with their emotions

00:59:53and I think that's

00:59:55why there's such a

00:59:55love for this sport

00:59:56at the moment

00:59:56but yes it's tricky

00:59:58with Ferrari

00:59:59both drivers doing

01:00:00really well

01:00:00and it doesn't look

01:00:01like Lewis is going

01:00:02anywhere anytime soon

01:00:03but I'm sure his

01:00:04management is

01:00:05is looking around

01:00:06a little bit

01:00:06outside the Ferrari

01:00:08family

01:00:09right

01:00:09shall we see

01:00:10who's out and about

01:00:11limber up for your

01:00:12grid walk

01:00:13and see who you

01:00:14might be

01:00:14oh you had a moment

01:00:15with that later

01:00:16didn't you

01:00:16last year

01:00:17Hannah Waddingham

01:00:18is here of course

01:00:18sung the national anthem

01:00:19back in 2024

01:00:21see if we can seek

01:00:22her out

01:00:22couple of lionesses

01:00:23but there we go

01:00:24Alicia Rousseau

01:00:26who won the euros

01:00:27in both 2022

01:00:28and 2025

01:00:29and of course

01:00:30there is a football

01:00:31game going on

01:00:32in the early hours

01:00:33of tomorrow morning

01:00:34I wonder if we'll get

01:00:35an English winner

01:00:36of this

01:00:37but Jack Greenish

01:00:37well perhaps

01:00:38you think he might

01:00:39have been

01:00:39or should have been

01:00:40going to the

01:00:41World Cup

01:00:41nevertheless

01:00:42he's here to enjoy

01:00:43this instead

01:00:43after the break

01:00:44Lewis Hamilton

01:00:46I'm still very tapped

01:00:48into the kid

01:00:49I was

01:00:49coming home

01:00:50putting on the

01:00:51videotape of Ayrton

01:00:52and watching him

01:00:52driving

01:00:53I'm like

01:00:53I still feel

01:00:55connected to that

01:00:56child in me

01:00:56and I know

01:00:58that I'm very

01:00:59privileged to be

01:01:00one of the 22

01:01:01drivers here

01:01:02so I have this

01:01:03opportunity

01:01:03I'll grab it

01:01:04with both hands

01:01:04and I don't

01:01:05take it for granted

01:01:15I wonder

01:01:16I bet you're

01:01:17all wondering

01:01:18at home as well

01:01:19can he make it

01:01:20ten victories

01:01:21at the British

01:01:22Grand Prix

01:01:23he looks absolutely

01:01:24focused

01:01:25he starts from third

01:01:26his teammate

01:01:26just ahead of him

01:01:28but there we go

01:01:29there is such a huge

01:01:31amount of support

01:01:32for the great man

01:01:33Icon

01:01:34can he do it

01:01:35we shall find out

01:01:36we caught up with him

01:01:36early this week

01:01:41it's been coming for Hamilton

01:01:43for a while now

01:01:44second season at Ferrari

01:01:46and he's firing on all cylinders

01:01:49686 days have been and gone

01:01:52and Hamilton is back

01:01:56obviously massively emotional

01:01:57not only for me

01:01:58but for everyone

01:01:59that's been on the journey

01:02:00with me

01:02:00spent hours

01:02:02when I got home

01:02:03just reposting

01:02:04all these beautiful videos

01:02:06and all these beautiful people

01:02:08that have supported me

01:02:09all these years

01:02:10but then yeah

01:02:11then you've just got to

01:02:12kind of like

01:02:12put your phone down

01:02:13and then get back

01:02:13on the treadmill

01:02:15I'm thinking about winning

01:02:16that's what I'm working towards

01:02:17when I'm on my bike

01:02:18or I'm training

01:02:19in the gym

01:02:19or out on my runs

01:02:21that's what I'm pushing

01:02:22my heart towards

01:02:23and the work that I do

01:02:24with the guys

01:02:25at the factory

01:02:25that's what I'm working towards

01:02:28but I also know

01:02:29how these seasons go

01:02:30and last year

01:02:31was really really challenging

01:02:32if I was Lewis Hamilton

01:02:33I'd just be a

01:02:34I'd be a little fed up

01:02:36at the situation

01:02:37he's now found himself in

01:02:38this is not good teamwork

01:02:40that's all I'm going to say

01:02:42in China

01:02:42I go the other way

01:02:43when you're on a different show

01:02:44understood

01:02:45we swap the cars

01:02:46have a tea break

01:02:47while you're at it

01:02:48come on

01:02:48I'm useless

01:02:49absolutely useless

01:02:53the most successful driver

01:02:55of all time

01:02:56is knocked out

01:02:57and it's P13 as well

01:02:59every time

01:03:01every time

01:03:02the changes that I've asked for

01:03:04and pushed for

01:03:06all last year

01:03:07have been made

01:03:09and I now have

01:03:10the right team around me

01:03:12I now have

01:03:13the right car around me

01:03:14and now I can start doing

01:03:17what I do best

01:03:18there were things

01:03:19there were things that I wanted

01:03:19that I have on this car

01:03:20that we couldn't put on

01:03:21last year's car

01:03:22because we were focused on

01:03:24cost cap

01:03:25and things would take

01:03:26six months to build

01:03:27and it wasn't worth it

01:03:29by the time

01:03:30we would implement it

01:03:31so I had them

01:03:32design it

01:03:33and create it

01:03:34for the simulator

01:03:35and so I could test it

01:03:37just to verify it

01:03:38and it was better

01:03:38on the sim

01:03:39and then they

01:03:40created those options

01:03:42and so we got to Bahrain

01:03:45with the baseline

01:03:46and then we added those

01:03:47to a couple of those options

01:03:49and it was better

01:03:49and we've been running it

01:03:50all year

01:03:51well done Luis

01:03:52sorry the race

01:03:53clever and smart

01:03:54as we wanted

01:03:55thank you

01:03:56keep pushing

01:03:57back in Maranello

01:03:58we've got work to do

01:03:59but I believe in you

01:04:00let's keep pushing

01:04:01for the Ferrari

01:04:02thank you

01:04:03my engineer group

01:04:04we've got a really great rapport now

01:04:06communication

01:04:07you can see

01:04:07with my engineer

01:04:08even on the racetrack

01:04:09it's a million times better

01:04:12so yeah

01:04:13just the alignments

01:04:14now that

01:04:15I used to walk past Ferrari

01:04:18all those other years

01:04:19and walk past the garage

01:04:20and people

01:04:21kind of looking down

01:04:22kind of the whole tunnel

01:04:23that they have

01:04:24into the garage

01:04:24wondering what it's like

01:04:25in the red garage

01:04:26and now to be one of them

01:04:28and to be amongst them

01:04:29it's such a privilege

01:04:31I look back

01:04:32at the history

01:04:33of some of the other drivers

01:04:34that have joined the team

01:04:35when they've come through

01:04:36an evolution

01:04:37and the class being good

01:04:38and then come straight in

01:04:39and won

01:04:40and of course

01:04:41that's an amazing thing

01:04:42but I'm actually glad

01:04:44that I would never want

01:04:45it to be that way

01:04:46that I just join

01:04:47and then straight away we win

01:04:48I mean I've not moved

01:04:49to any teams

01:04:50that have been at the top

01:04:51straight away

01:04:52you know

01:04:52I like the journey

01:04:53of building together

01:04:55up ahead for us

01:04:56what I'm really proud of

01:04:57and happy is

01:04:58that we are bringing

01:04:59performance

01:05:00we're progressing

01:05:01we are moving forwards

01:05:02every weekend

01:05:03there's bits coming

01:05:04all the time

01:05:04the guys are pushing

01:05:05as much

01:05:07as much

01:05:07as they can

01:05:08can Lewis Hamilton

01:05:09claim a third pole

01:05:11for a sprint

01:05:22great job

01:05:25there really is

01:05:26a big difference

01:05:26when you come

01:05:27to your home crowd

01:05:28the fans here

01:05:29have been

01:05:29just phenomenal

01:05:30since my first pole

01:05:32position here

01:05:32in 2007

01:05:33and then

01:05:34the first win

01:05:35I had in 2008

01:05:36and then

01:05:37just every year

01:05:38it's just an extra buzz

01:05:39an extra push

01:05:39it is the best track

01:05:41in the world

01:05:42it's just awesome

01:05:43I'm still very tapped

01:05:44into the kid

01:05:45I was

01:05:46coming home

01:05:47putting on the videotape

01:05:48of Edson

01:05:49and watching him driving

01:05:50I'm like

01:05:50I still feel

01:05:52connected to that child

01:05:53in me

01:05:53and

01:05:55you know

01:05:55I feel

01:05:56I know that I'm very

01:05:57privileged to be

01:05:58one of the 22 drivers

01:05:59here

01:06:00so I have this opportunity

01:06:02I grab it with both hands

01:06:03and I don't take it

01:06:03for granted

01:06:04I just feel

01:06:05that I have more

01:06:05left in me

01:06:06like

01:06:06I've not seen

01:06:07the end of that yet

01:06:08and

01:06:09undoubtedly

01:06:10I'm going to go

01:06:10through difficult times

01:06:12it doesn't feel good

01:06:13when you're in them

01:06:14but that's a part

01:06:15of the journey

01:06:30bang on cue

01:06:31look at that

01:06:32on the Hamilton straight

01:06:33all of those flags

01:06:35all wishing him well

01:06:36because

01:06:36he is the man here

01:06:38as we've said

01:06:38he's

01:06:39got nine wins

01:06:40he's had

01:06:40eight polls

01:06:4115 podiums

01:06:43and if he gets

01:06:44a tenth win today

01:06:44that would be a 50%

01:06:46hit rate

01:06:46at your British Grand Prix

01:06:47it's not bad

01:06:48it's not bad at all

01:06:50and what an amazing place

01:06:51we have here

01:06:52there's so much support

01:06:53for the British drivers

01:06:54but especially

01:06:56Lewis Hamilton

01:06:56I've watched him race

01:06:58here many times

01:06:59raced alongside him

01:07:00it is

01:07:01it is something

01:07:02very special

01:07:02why

01:07:03different lines

01:07:04different

01:07:04I mean

01:07:04it's just the way

01:07:05he approaches it

01:07:06I mean

01:07:06as we talk about

01:07:07back of the hand

01:07:08but it really is with him

01:07:09he's just got so much

01:07:10confidence

01:07:10carrying speed

01:07:11into corners like

01:07:12Cops

01:07:12Beckett's

01:07:13Maggots

01:07:13Stowe

01:07:14he just knows

01:07:15exactly where to

01:07:16place the car

01:07:17his feeling for

01:07:19the car on the limit

01:07:20is something that

01:07:21I never experienced

01:07:22you know

01:07:23it's really

01:07:23really impressive

01:07:24we were talking

01:07:25about it earlier

01:07:25but to think about

01:07:27the sea change

01:07:28complete reversal

01:07:29of fortunes

01:07:30from last year

01:07:31we heard him

01:07:32actually complaining

01:07:33a little bit

01:07:33in the press conference

01:07:34he was saying

01:07:35look

01:07:35you know

01:07:35change

01:07:36when you try

01:07:37to force your change

01:07:38or you try to bring

01:07:39your experience

01:07:39into a new team

01:07:40some people

01:07:41you get a bit

01:07:42of friction

01:07:42I think he thought

01:07:44that people perhaps

01:07:44weren't listening to him

01:07:46behind the scenes

01:07:47at Ferrari

01:07:47and now they are

01:07:49and they're making

01:07:49some progress

01:07:50yeah well don't they

01:07:51always say change

01:07:52is most often met

01:07:53with resistance

01:07:53and I think it is tricky

01:07:54I mean when people

01:07:55are set in their ways

01:07:56and someone comes in

01:07:57from outside

01:07:58yes it is a fresh

01:07:59set of eyes

01:07:59but you become

01:08:00accustomed to work

01:08:01in your processes

01:08:02the way you do

01:08:02and so sometimes

01:08:03it's tougher

01:08:04to just take that

01:08:04information on board

01:08:05but you know

01:08:06Lewis obviously

01:08:07that whole ground effect

01:08:08era of cars

01:08:09just didn't work for him

01:08:10it didn't work for him

01:08:11at Mercedes

01:08:11then he moved over

01:08:12to Ferrari

01:08:13and we were talking

01:08:13about it earlier

01:08:14with regards to Max

01:08:15it's a huge cultural

01:08:16change to just leave

01:08:17one team and go to one

01:08:19particularly Ferrari

01:08:19I think more so

01:08:20than the others

01:08:21because they're based

01:08:21in Italy most of the

01:08:22team
