Who is that?
People say Valtteri is your number two driver.
Would you say that?
Is that fair?
They might.
The sauna is warm.
Balls out.
This is peaceful.
Throwing water on the rocks, you relax straightaway.
How are you feeling about it?
Of course, performance is a big thing, but…
it's not only how good you are at driving.
But what can you do?
-That's just how it is. -That's just how it is.
I believe, my gut feeling is that things will end up going well.
Now I just need to step on the accelerator bloody well.
-We shall find out. -We shall find out.
-Enough Formula 1 stuff. -Yeah, definitely.
Let's just look at the swans.
Thank you.
Valtteri, do you wanna do it, the four of us?
-No, be separate. -You want to be separate?
I don't want any disease from you.
I haven't got any diseases… that you can catch airborne.
-Are we doing it in here? -Lewis said let's do it in here.
Why is he not in here?
He wants to sit in his room and do it through there.
Can you see everything?
Yeah, let's get started.
Call ended.
They are pretty hot.
I'm kind of regretting the decision.
But I am committed to the cause.
2.9.
-That's fine. -Is it okay? Cool.
I was gonna go faster next lap.
Let's discuss it afterwards. We'll explain.
One more.
Do you think Valtteri can still be world champion?
Do you get nervous on qualifying day?
-I can't recommend the cycling here. -No?
-Did you go to the mountains? -Yeah, then I got arrested.
-Arrested? -Yes.
Apparently I entered a military area. So they stopped me, they kept my passport.
I got chased by a stray dog at one point.
Welcome to Russia.
Finally it's going to be a good weekend.
We've got Valtteri behind four seconds.
The circuit's all clear ahead.
Let's go.
So tactics, we're gonna push.
The rear end feels good.
We're in a good position now.
I went too deep. Had a bit of a lockup.
-You're slower than Lewis. -Copy.
Push all the way to Turn 16.
Just keep the pace up.
Push hard now.
Final corner.
Nice work. That's provisional pole.
This will be your last push.
That's currently P2.
Wow, that was a good lap.
Look how he towed him.
I'm sorry.
We need to be more responsive next time. That's just something we need to work on.
-What happened? -I wish I knew.
I just didn't go quicker,
so maybe I was just playing games, wanting to start third.
It's a good place to start.
It will give me an advantage against Lewis.
-I'm not slowing down for Nico. -Why is he not letting me through?
Nico hit me.
Nico's hit me.
He's already left?
-We do the longest days. -We do the longest days!
-We're always last to leave. -That's why we're number one.
Tomorrow's gonna be hard.
-Shoot, man, we haven't skydived for ages. -Oh God, we have to do it.
-I'd like to do bobsleigh. -Bobsleigh's hardcore.
-You should do skeleton. -Hell no!
-Where you lay on the thing and go down? -Head first.
No fucking way.
You're nuts.
-It looks like so much fun. -It does not look fun at all.
Yeah, pushing.
-Is Sochi for your liking? -Yeah.
Anything that I can get for you?
- Enjoy your breakfast.
Radio check Max.
-Yeah. Radio check. -Straight through the pit lane, then.
Are you good at wheel guns?
I should have a go. I can't be worse than a team principal.
Okay, Lewis. It'll be a practice start from the pit lane.
There's all rubber here. Can I go further out?
Leave enough room for cars to pass.
What is this?
To the end of the pit wall?
Yeah, copy.
Seems an odd thing to do on the pit wall, no?
Okay. We can go to the grid now.
So cool the car.
All okay with the engine.
Hamilton stopped on the track.
-Did he? -Yeah.
I think he stopped on the track and made a practice start.
Surely they can't penalize you in a race for something that hasn't happened in the race?
That's got to just be a fine.
I like this national anthem. It reminds me of Rocky against Ivan Drago.
Are you okay?
So lights are out. You control the pace.
Very poor grip there.
-What is it? -Look.
Oh God.
Fuck! Is Lewis aware?
Tell him. Tell him.
-Where's that in the rule book? -Copy, Lewis.
Yeah, that's bullshit.
Yeah, it's… It's shit.
So Lewis ahead has a ten-second penalty
-Start closing up the gap to Lewis. -Copy.
Simon, talk to me about vibration.
-It's still growing steadily lap on lap. -I'm gonna call Lewis.
We need to get him in as soon as we can.
Tires are still okay.
Do not stop me early. Do not.
-OK, copy, Lewis. -Stand down, gents. Stand down.
Lewis, that's the fastest lap. You need to maintain this pace.
-Safety critical vibrations. -We have to stop Lewis this lap.
Sorry, Lewis, you need to box, box. Box, box.
Why did you have to serve it? Why isn't it added at the end of the race?
Yeah, Lewis, we have to serve it. Just focus.
This is just ridiculous.
How far have I dropped back?
Currently down to P11.
-Where's Lewis? -Lewis, currently P11.
-Why did you stop me so early? -We'll have to have that chat later, Lewis.
We have Vettel ahead. Let's just get on with it.
Hamilton, 0.4 behind.
An overtake is available.
All cars ahead are yet to stop, so you are P3 on the road virtually.
Okay, Lewis, so now P3.
Verstappen, eight seconds ahead.
How's the drivability, Max?
I'm trying, but it's not very easy to drive at the moment.
I've started to feel the left a little bit as well now.
Verstappen, pace dropping off.
He's complaining about tires on radio.
Tell him, "You can do this." Just this one sentence.
-That's the fastest lap. -Yeah.
I don't want to hear from you now, Bono. It doesn't make any difference.
Valtteri is two corners away.
Let's show our appreciation to a fantastic drive from him.
-Lewis is not happy, is he? -No.
Good decision.
For sure, he will do something again. He believes he can do whatever he wants.
Was it just you weren't aware of that regulation?
This is ridiculous.
Ron and I are going to the stewards. Just to make a point. We owe it to Lewis.
I don't want to just accept this.
It was extremely dangerous to do that.
It's not the first time somebody did a race start
from a place that was different to the other ones.
It was not an easy decision, honestly.
Toto, we do not look at who he is.
We look at the regulations and we apply…
OK, gentlemen.
Stubborn. It is just talking against a wall.
-See you, Toto. -See ya.
-Happy? -Yeah, happy.
We need to be happy for a one and three. It's not a complete misery.
We'll do the team victory in ten minutes, okay?
Feels good.
Look at this. The engineers are gone, so…
Traditions.
Racing Point, I don't understand.
You always think about your future. I want to do the maximum.
I don't want to have any regrets.
