Ferrari have confirmed
that they have appointed Frédéric Vasseur as their new team principal.
Jesus Christ.
Fuck's sake.
He's never done this job. What the heck did he come here to do?
He doesn't even speak Italian.
Exactly. A team like Ferrari that is a family.
It's important.
Exactly.
A top team like Ferrari can't afford to make those kinds of mistakes
in front of the whole world.
This guy has to make it work.
The team principal before was Binotto.
Let's hope that Vasseur manages to be a little better.
I joined Ferrari over the winter.
It all hit me like an enormous wave.
I didn't have time to anticipate it. It was just there.
A bit higher. Like that. And look at me.
Like that.
Today, I need to speak Italian to the press.
- Yes. - So...
We can start.
For the fans, it's important to say something in Italian.
Forza Ferrari...
This always.
Yes. Very good.
Perfect.
Forza Ferrari.
No, no, no, no. Come on.
Guys, no power.
We're gonna crash.
Yeah, copy.
And your teammate is one more of those who you want to beat.
Welcome to the best country around the world.
From a performance point of view,
Ferrari could do good things here in Monza.
Now we're going to Monza at a difficult time
because Ferrari wants to win again, and it's been a while since we have.
We have a bit of hope because Monza is a fast race
and that suits our car better,
but we're still going into the unknown.
There will be a lot of expectations
from the tifosi, the sponsors, and Ferrari in general.
It's another pressure for us.
Holy mother, Carlos, what an experience!
They're all tifosi.
I feel like crying, Carlos.
They all say hi to you with such emotion. It's incredible.
Are you okay? Relaxed?
Here he is, Frédéric Vasseur.
- Hi, Fred. - Good evening.
And we need to go. We need to go.
Copy that.
I cannot go faster.
Understood. Mode push.
Leclerc currently P1.
You're quite close.
All good.
It's not over yet!
I think I can go quicker.
Okay, one more lap.
Let's go, Carlos!
Carlos, let's go!
Let's go! Let's go!
Tell me we have it. Tell me we have it.
- Yes, P1. - Let's go!
- Enjoy your pole. - Okay, okay, let me enjoy a bit.
Wowzers. Sainz has pipped you by one hundredth.
That was a hell of a lap.
They are quick over a lap, but let's wait and see tomorrow.
Radio check.
- Yep, radio check. - Radio is good.
Last car joining the back of the grid now.
All set and focus on the lights.
Meanwhile, we are on Carlos Sainz, in pole position...
He was unbelievable yesterday. He can make it, but...
Max is going to be crushed today.
- Come on. Let Ferrari fucking win. - Stay calm.
So here we are finally. The traffic lights.
Come on!
Yes, yes!
Come on!
Max 0.5 behind.
Max, 0.9 behind.
Gap ahead, 1.1.
Okay.
We have a lot of top speed. That's good.
- It's quicker? - We are faster everywhere.
He's already sliding a bit, so all good.
Understood, Max. Just be sensible for the moment.
0.4 behind.
That was naughty.
Bide your time. It's a matter of time.
He's struggling with the rear, Max, a lot.
Fuck!
Hit the overtake if you want to.
Fucking hell.
Gap to Pérez behind, 0.8. He is with DRS.
Yeah, no DRS for Leclerc. You got him!
Bloody hell, he's close.
Okay, keep pushing on. Push on.
No, come on.
He's trying to pass me around the outside of the car.
He's not leaving any room, man.
Come on!
We cannot race like this.
You're faster. You're gonna get him. See him off.
Checo, 0.1 behind with DRS.
Tires are nearly finished.
Carlos is struggling a bit with the rears.
No risk, no risk.
Charles behind with DRS.
- We need to be careful. - What?
I have to make the corner.
I think we both feel like the corner.
Remember, no risk to both cars.
Be careful. This is the last lap.
No race to the end. No risk.
They're not a team anymore. They're not a cohesive team.
Today we risked not getting any points.
They could have gone out, both of them.
Team Principal Frédéric Vasseur,
a man about whom there'd been many doubts.
Should we trust him?
I would have kept Binotto.
Facts are facts. The reality is that we are losing.
We have hit rock bottom.
This is a bad year.
Jesus Christ.
We have to ask Vasseur why the car is slow, eh?
But above all, why is Verstappen going so strong?
His car is better.
Fucking hell.
Come on. What did you do this morning?
We have to behave as a team in both the good and bad times.
And I think the team needs to stick together.
We often forget what "team" means, because it's very important.
Probably that we are trying to overshoot the railings.
Carlos, you're so hot!
Okay, fire up.
Let's make sure we are not near the back.
So it will be straight out.
We need to get going now, Max.
Okay, keep on pushing on. Push on.
Copy.
That looked good.
For fuck's sake.
- Okay, what happened? - I went over the curb.
That's got us P13, I'm afraid.
Fuck this shit!
Keep pushing, Max.
Okay, Max, so that was excellent.
Continue to keep positive.
All good.
Everything okay, Max?
Locked up again in this shit corner.
Fuck's sake! Shit balance!
The car is really bad.
Fucking shocking.
Absolutely shocking experience.
Push first corner.
Yeah, copy that.
Overall, quite a good job.
You were fastest!
Okay. Nice work.
This looks solid.
Still doing a good job.
Copy.
Russell, currently P1.
Verstappen and Pérez are out.
Good job.
- Tell me we have it. - We have it.
We have it? Yes!
That was super close, yeah?
Let's do it tomorrow, guys.
Tomorrow.
Come on!
Leclerc ahead.
Gap to Sainz in front, 1.2.
Pace is really good.
Charles, 0.7 behind.
Leader is Sainz. Leclerc, P2.
Hopefully, we can reel these cars in.
Gap to leader, 9.7.
Push this lap. Close up the gap to Ocon.
So gap to Sainz in front, 1.2. Target, three.
But then I'm at risk.
Target gap to Sainz.
We need three seconds.
At the moment, it's 1.0.
George, we expect the Ferraris
to open up a three-second gap between themselves.
They'll start pushing you back.
Is that what they've been told?
Yeah, it looks like they're gonna sacrifice Leclerc.
So gap to Sainz in front, 1.2.
Target, three.
Gap to Sainz, target three.
Yeah, copy. I'll try to slow down.
So gap to Sainz in front, 3.1.
Yeah, copy that.
Really good job. Continue like this.
What you are doing is good.
I could go forever at this pace.
Sainz, gap 13.4.
- Are you okay? - Yeah, front gone.
You have the wing under the car, so watch out. Box, box. Slow in.
Sargeant is coming to the pits with the front wing on the ground,
so watch for that, please.
Okay.
Box, Carlos. Box.
- What happened there? - We had to hold you for traffic.
Max, everyone pitted apart from yourself, Checo, and Bottas.
Try to get clear of Verstappen, coming through.
Safety car in this lap. Max behind you.
Okay, Max, keep the pressure on.
Safety car in pit lane.
Verstappen, one second behind.
Tires are so dead.
It's like driving on ice.
Understood, Max. Keep at it.
Maybe one more lap.
We are looking at our options.
Nice job, mate.
Gap to Russell behind, 2.8.
Leclerc ahead, 2.3.
Gap to Russell behind, 1.4.
And Russell with DRS.
Gap ahead, 1.1.
Russell passed Charles. Russell is 5.7 behind.
- Laps? - Two remaining.
My tires are finished.
You're doing really good.
Last lap.
Overtake, final lap. I'll leave you to this.
Russell in the wall at turn ten. Head down to the end.
P1, baby.
Come on!
Come on, Fred!
Congratulations, Carlos. You made a good job.
What a smart race. You nailed it.
This is my first smooth operation in Ferrari.
- ♪ Smooth operator ♪ - ♪ Smooth operator ♪
We won Singapore, my friend.
- Cry. I'm gonna cry. - What a legend.
That was perfect, guys. Come on!
In the pit lane, P1.
- Say it again. - In the pit lane, and P1.
Again, again. P1, P1.
P4.
Very well done, Carlos.
A victory is always like
a breath of fresh air.
It was a relief for me and for everyone downstairs.
It's the best thing we can have in a hard season.
For the team, it's a success because of the race, of course,
but it's also a success in terms of collaboration.
I was very proud of the result.
Who would have thought it, guys? A Ferrari victory.
Sainz wins the Singapore race! Not only impeccable. Exceptional!
I have a lot of faith in Vasseur.
- He can bring back... - Ferrari.
- Where it deserves to be. - Exactly.
Ferrari is fighting.
That is, if Ferrari wins,
everyone is happy.
- Always "forza Ferrari." - Always.
Fuck.
Get ready for the race.
Fuck! Liam is so aggressive.
