Okay, Daniel. That's P17.
Not the race we wanted, to be honest.
P13.
No one's gonna like being where we are, so far back.
That was terrible. One more.
Did you break it?
Launch days are always fun.
And long.
Can you go in the side door?
For a day-one car launch, 6 a.m. call time,
I'll forgive a couple of minutes late because that's quite brutal, I appreciate.
Right, we're just in here.
Has Lando rocked up yet or...?
He has, yeah.
And he did make a point that he beat you. Arrived before you.
What's going on? Glad you could join us.
Sorry I'm late.
Your apprentice.
He's only, like, 15.
Car looks bitchin'.
The floor's the same as last year, isn't it?
That's bigger. That's about all I can see that's different.
Were you happy with the launch?
If we can do more than three laps in a row, we've made a step forward.
30 seconds to go.
-And radio check, Lando. - Yeah, all good.
What's wrong with my car?
Lando, we are managing an issue. Box now, box now.
I've lost the gearbox.
Copy.
Oscar, we'll box this lap and swap the steering wheel.
I've still got nothing.
Fucking hell.
Box this lap.
This will be a slow stop. Twenty-five to 30 seconds.
Whoa.
There's Lando.
And? Same as last year?
Similar limitations, basically.
Similar issues. Similar problems.
All right.
We'll keep pushing.
Guys, something's not right with the front end.
I got too much understeer.
Yeah, it's huge, huh?
How cool is that?
Zak, great to see you. Thanks so much for joining us.
Good to be here.
What's all this talk about having to say, "Lando is with us to stay"?
Doesn't that seem too early?
- Are you gonna be in your room, Lando? - I shall be, yeah.
Every driver has conversations with as many people as they can
to give themselves options.
I should be in a better car, but I'm not.
If you were a betting man, would you say you'd still be there next year?
That's a bit of a no, isn't it?
How we gonna go in Miami?
I don't know.
We're so slow on the straight.
Fuck. This is quicker than our car, this.
It's like we've done it before.
Good luck. Yeah?
Fucking hell. We need points.
Radio check, Lando.
All good.
- Have a good race. - Cheers.
I got hit. Rear.
Lando, everything looks okay. Sargeant is now ahead of you.
Early overtake available.
Yeah. I'm trying.
- I can't get past him. - Understood.
Do I just keep it up for now?
Yep, copy. You've got Piastri ahead.
Okay, the car behind is Verstappen. That's the race leader.
Ahead, we have Norris, and he's currently struggling.
You are much quicker than him.
Fucking hell. We clearly don't have the pace of the cars around.
I don't know what race I'm in at the minute.
I know this is frustrating, but this is a good place for us.
It's just a patience game.
Ha ha. Okay.
LOL.
And, Oscar, that was not the afternoon we wanted.
Yeah. Just struggled for pace.
Felt pretty terrible, but best we could do today.
I'm not suggesting it may look bad. I'm suggesting it is bad.
I don't have time.
Can you get out either side of that thing?
What are they gonna say in the press conference?
There'll be a little bit about
the progress that we've made with upgrades.
That's of huge interest to the media at the moment.
Lewis, let's just pick the pace up.
Okay, Lewis. That's P7.
We're so slow.
Okay, Lando. It's now or never time.
Yeah, loud and clear.
More full throttle if possible.
- Come on! - Come on, lad.
Keep the speed up.
P2.
Well done, mate. Great drive. Very good.
Yeah, baby!
Oscar, P3.
Well done, buddy.
Well done, everyone. Not bad at all.
Do you think a podium is on the cards, Lando, at all?
Got P2, but then the race is a different story.
This is supposed to be your most major upgrade.
How optimistic are you about it?
Why? 'Cause you've had too many false dawns?
You've had too many false dawns?
- Okay, Lando. Radio check. - Yeah, loud and clear.
- Oscar, good luck. - Cheers.
Yeah, baby!
Let's fucking go!
- Gap?! - 0.8.
Gap, 0.6.
Car ahead, Gasly.
Piastri one second behind.
Well done, Oscar. Keep this pace and keep going.
Copy.
Okay, Lando. Hamilton behind you.
How is the pace?
- I'm happy. It's consistent. - Understood.
Hamilton, ten seconds behind you.
So just best pace to the end now. You're doing a great job.
What's up, Kev? What's up?
Eh, engine died.
Stop the car. Stop the car.
Safety car, safety car. Magnussen stopped on track.
Copy.
- Safety car. - Wonderful.
Hamilton will be very close at the restart.
Yeah, yeah.
I know.
Safety car ending. Safety car in this lap. Safety car in this lap.
He has DRS. He has DRS.
Overtake is available.
- Gap? - 0.1.
That McLaren is fast in a straight line.
P2. P2. Great job, man!
Podium in my home race.
Podium in our home race.
Unlucky against Norris. Just too strong for us.
Hey, that McLaren's a rocket ship.
Checkered flag. P4, baby!
Thank you for all the hard work. Thanks for all the updates.
We're back, baby.
Let's go get 'em!
Excuse me.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Excuse me.
- Engine's gone. - What the fuck?
P9. That's a bloody good job.
