-Feels good, doesn't it? -Oh, I love it. I love it.
Don't be too grumpy.
-Come on, Mexico! -Thank you.
-Bonjour. -Push the bicycle.
Yes, of course. No worries.
What's Lewis's question?
"How'd you feel about leading the World Championship?" Pretty good.
Pretty good. How are you?
-You good? -Yes, thanks.
It will go well?
-We hope so. -Yes, yes, yes, we believe it will!
Thank you.
It'll all be about the driver that gets the lap in qualifying.
Flat out.
Who do I need to speak to about the suit? Because it's huge.
-We need to do some measurements. -Okay.
Hey, man.
More light in the eyes please.
You smiling, Max?
Of course. I always smile.
-There was a delay there. -Massive delay.
Okay. We'll have a look.
They spend an enormous amount of time looking at what we do.
Good. They're getting worried then.
I spoke to Carlos. He was like, "Fuck, I had so much front end!"
They're close.
Get out there and have some fun.
How are my sectors?
First sector, currently a tenth and a half behind.
Car's damaged.
So P7.
-I don't understand, guys. -It's been a tough day.
Mode push.
You have fastest second sector.
We need a good last sector.
-And focus. -Copy.
At the moment, you are P1.
Okay, Max. Let's get stuck into this lap.
Purple sector one.
This is good, Max. Let's push.
Verstappen, fastest sector one.
Do another push.
Copy.
Fuck's sake! For fuck's sake, man!
-Leclerc's in the wall at 16. -Fuck, man!
This would have been the fucking lap! You fucking shit!
Hard luck, mate. That was on.
You're number one.
An espresso, an egg and a dark rye bread.
-Yeah sure. -Pumpernickel or some of that sort.
Do you want to watch this strategy meeting?
If you don't mind, yeah.
Looking at a single lap, we had Red Bull come out the quickest.
Red Bull look to be 3.5 tenths quicker.
How you doing?
Yeah, exactly.
There's a problem.
Box, box.
We are retiring the car. We are retiring the car.
Game over, he's gone.
Excellent, Max, nice job.
-Can see you had to lift. -Copy.
Otherwise, we'd have been fucked.
Okay, Lewis, currently P6. Gasly, 0.6 ahead.
He's just so slow in front. Are the guys ahead of him pulling away?
So we've got Verstappen at 13 seconds.
Gasly is so slow!
So Verstappen, 15.9. The gap, two seconds.
Show us how much more pace you got.
Copy.
Okay, Valtteri, gap to Verstappen, 1.6.
Verstappen managing more turn three.
There's not that much left in the tire.
Box, box, box.
Okay, Bottas and Sainz are pitting this lap.
Start to ramp up the pace.
Guys.
-We have a machined nut. -Fucking hell!
Gasly, 0.5 ahead.
How am I still behind here, man. I've got no hope of passing him.
Where's Valtteri?
Valtteri out of the race. Problem at the pit stop.
What has just happened?
Bottas, out of the race. Hamilton, no threat.
What was his lap time?
It's almost irrelevant at this stage. Just focus on your fuel for the moment.
Hey, hey! You've won Monaco.
Need to do an autopsy of this one and learn.
We'll come back stronger.
Super happy with this win.
-Well done, you so deserve it. -Thank you, darling. Okay. Thank you.
We lacked the pace all weekend. You have to take it on the chin.
I'm going to look at the data and find out.
Remember this is a marathon, not a sprint. We got to be measured.
Absolutely agree, Lewis.
Okay, Max, that's your man ahead.
Well done, mate. Payback!
I'm definitely struggling.
Verstappen, 9.9.
-What time did you say he did? -9.9.
Can't match that.
The car was on fire today.
-How many points did we lose? -14 point hit.
I don't know what to say, guys.
Who will you be supporting?
-Can I get a picture, mate? -Sure.
Hurry up. It's my turn next.
Would you mind signing this? I've got some hand sanitizer if it helps.
Yeah, so we should have fans in the grandstand.
C'mon, Roscoe.
Going straight to engineering?
-Yeah. You taking Roscoe? -Yeah.
I hope Lewis will win again.
I'm gonna have to speak to Fiona to meet me outside like this.
Is this your greatest challenge, if you come back from this?
Gonna get a sore arm.
-Danny! -Danny Ric's a legend!
I have a lot of respect for Lewis, but we race hard.
They've got, like, three or four of these here on the side.
There's a big vane right here.
Then right at the back here, they have all these bits sealed.
They've sealed them?
They've got aluminum pieces, so they've definitely added.
Oy, oy.
Gives me nightmares, Baku.
It fucked me up.
Just reduce our mistakes and we're five points ahead.
Baku, fucking hell.
Ah fuck.
Don't worry.
-Give me the bag. -There's so many though.
No, we're chucking them once you're gone.
Oh God, this gives me anxiety, seeing so many people.
Why are the people so close?
How you guys doing?
It means so much to me, the support I've had here.
I really hope I can bring it home for you this weekend.
Max will come out fighting hard.
-I've no doubt. -Yeah, hopefully not too hard.
-Do you think that's a risk? -Yeah.
Radio check, Max.
Yeah, radio check.
To the grid, Max, to the grid. Get a feel for the balance now.
Remember to focus. Let's focus.
-Make sure you don't go too mad. -Agreed.
I suspect this one might get a bit fruity.
Shit.
Focus on Hamilton behind.
Keep on pushing. Keep pushing.
Leave me to it. I got it.
-Hope he's all right. -You couldn't get a faster bit.
That's 190 mph.
Is Max okay?
-Red. -Fuck, red flag!
I was ahead going in there, man.
-Yeah, copy, Lewis. -Fully alongside, it was my line.
That nearly fucking killed our driver.
I want him fucking out of this race.
-Let us know what you need. -I don't know, Bono.
He just turned in on me.
I was giving the guy space.
-He's just pulling away. -Copy.
Looks like we have a ten-second time penalty.
-Ten-second. -Understood.
It can't be. He should be suspended at least.
We'll serve your ten-second penalty, then change the wheels.
-Norris's car up the road. -Understood, Bono.
Gap down to 0.6 now.
Let's do it.
Proper, Lewis, proper.
Valtteri is ahead.
-How far are Ferrari ahead of him? -Leclerc, 13.8 ahead.
-Lewis the car behind now. -Copy.
Team order, do not fight with Lewis.
Yep.
-What times do I need to catch Leclerc? -31.4.
Okay, mode race, full push.
-What's the gap to Hamilton? -Gap to Hamilton, 3.2.
Leclerc ahead, you can have him.
He's picking up the pace, man.
Lewis, you are looking strong. Just keep it up.
It's Hammertime.
-Can I catch him? -Yes, you bloody can, mate.
-Okay, mode race, full push. -Front tires are dropping.
Keep it easy on the curbs.
-We so needed that. -Well done. Well done!
I wanna say a big thank you to the fans. Couldn't do it without you guys.
Lewis, we never give up. We never give up. This is still on.
Damn right.
Unbelievable. I can't believe it.
This is such a proud moment for me, man.
It's gonna come behind us. This is what we needed.
It's exactly the right lesson for Max to learn,
because otherwise, everyone always backs out for him.
Does this open?
