Shall we do it again?
Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren. Rolling.
[classical music playing]
Good afternoon.
Today is a very exciting day for McLaren Racing,
and the start of our next chapter.
2020 was an outstanding year for us.
[commentator 1] Norris, his teammate Carlos Sainz cross the line.
McLaren are clinching that third place in the Constructors' Championship.
-Yeah! -[cheering]
[Brown] It was a great performance by both drivers.
[cheering]
It was awesome.
But we were struggling with finances.
[tense music playing]
[Brown] Carlos moved on to Ferrari.
But this season, we have a new driver in…
Daniel Ricciardo.
[shutters clicking]
[producer] Yes, come on!
Big personality.
Got a seven-time Grand Prix winner.
And then we have new investors.
I couldn't be happier with our new partners.
Given our rich history of success,
the shareholders have one goal in mind.
That is to get back to competing for the World Championship.
This is gonna be a… a huge year for McLaren.
[engines revving]
[Ricciardo groaning]
Sorry, guys.
[Stallard] Daniel, we've finished P16.
[Ricciardo] Fuck.
To be standing here now, it's, um…
Yeah, pretty, uh… pretty dark.
-[machinery whirring] -[engine revving]
[crowd cheering]
[tense music playing]
-[indistinct chatter] -[man] Come in.
[Ricciardo] No one wants to touch the handle.
[man] I'll take the risk. Don't mention it.
-[Sefton] Morning! -[Ricciardo] Howdy.
-[Sefton] All right? -[Ricciardo] What's going on?
I'm Daniel Ricciardo and I'm driving for McLaren Formula 1 team.
Might be the first time I've said that officially.
[Sefton] Let's get this show on the road.
-[Ricciardo] Hello, mate. -[Brown] What's up?
It's awesome to end up with Daniel.
He's one of the biggest talents in the sport.
[Ricciardo] Let's go.
[commentator 1] Daniel Ricciardo gives Renault their first podium.
-[commentator 2] What a performance. -[Cyril] Woohoo!
Daniel is a fantastic driver.
He's world champion material.
[commentator 2] Daniel Ricciardo clinches victory for Red Bull.
[Ricciardo] That's another ******* podium.
Daniel is one of the best drivers in Formula 1.
He drove some amazing races for us.
[commentator 2] Daniel Ricciardo, seven-time Grand Prix winner.
[crowd cheering, whistling]
[Ricciardo] Fellas.
-Hi, Taff. How are you? -[Taff] Yeah, good. Yourself?
-A bit older, but all good. -[Taff] A bit older?
-Yeah. -[Taff laughs]
-Bit more mature? -I hope so.
-[Joseph] Well… -I wouldn't say that.
[Taff chuckles]
[Brown] Lando going up against someone like Daniel
really gives him a chance to… to learn.
I can't think of a more exciting driver pairing than… than our two guys.
[Buxton] McLaren enter 2021 with the spotlight firmly on them.
Zak Brown, uh, has new investors, a new engine in the back of the car,
and now he has Daniel Ricciardo.
It's just this groundswell of positivity
towards one of the most successful teams in Formula 1.
[Brown] Given that we were third last year,
it's pretty important to us that we finish third this year.
The difference between third and fourth
can ultimately mean tens of millions of dollars.
Daniel's a very, very focused, aggressive, uh, individual.
He's a killer in the race car.
[Ricciardo] I've always liked pressure and, in a way, probably the spotlight.
Do you want it to be called "Daniel to Survive"?
-[producer] We'll get back to you on it. -[chuckles]
[dramatic music playing]
[engine revving]
I think, by the end of this season, I do predict an array of podiums.
An array, does that… I don't know what that means. It sounds right.
[machinery whirring]
[upbeat music playing]
[Norris groans]
-Yeah, you've had a shocker there, mate. -Shut up.
Oh, it's going right.
-It went straight. What? -[Norris] Straight into the trees.
[Fewtrell] If you hole this, you'll get a podium this year.
-Oh my gosh! -That's a real shame.
[Norris] I'm gonna shunt in every race. [clicks tongue]
I'm in F1 for three seasons now.
Coming to the end of a contract. This is the year you have most pressure.
You don't where you're gonna be next year, if you'll even be in Formula 1.
You don't need to film this bit. It got really, um, windy and, uh…
It just blew my ball all the way to the left out here. Damn wind.
So how are you feeling about Danny Ric this season, mate? Confident?
He's obviously a good driver. Seven-time… Seven-time winner?
[Fewtrell] I got faith in you, buddy.
It's not like he's really fast or anything.
[Norris] Your teammate is the guy you wanna beat.
And with Daniel,
I'd like to see where I stack up against him.
Why does everyone see him as such a good driver?
It's a bit left. Too much pressure. [chuckles]
[Fewtrell] There's gonna be more pressure his year, mate, so get used to it.
[both snicker]
[tense music playing]
[commentator 1] Formula 1 is back and it starts right here
with the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Cops, cops, cops everywhere.
-Mate, they won't catch you. -[chuckles]
It's not like the car stands out at all, huh?
[Italiano giggles]
[both chuckle]
Hey, it goes all right, eh?
-Yeah, it does. Bit of a kick to it. -Little bit of a… [clicks tongue]
-Day one of 2021 saison. -[Italiano] What does that mean?
[Ricciardo] Season? Saison. I don't know.
-Lift up. -[Italiano] Oh yeah. Nice.
-[Ricciardo] Suicide doors! Suicide doors! -Fancy. [laughs]
I feel really good to be sitting here, um, knowing we've got a full season ahead.
If I don't feel I can be a championship contender,
then I honestly don't think I'd still be here, so,
yeah, it… it… it fuels me and it feeds me.
[upbeat music playing]
-[man 1 in French] Hello, Pierre. -[in English] Hi.
-[man 2] Hi, Max. -[Max] Hello.
[Steiner in German] You again!
-Yeah, and? -[Steiner] Did you gain weight?
[man 3 in English] You have one of my favorite phrases in all motorsport.
-[Ricciardo] Okay. -[man 3] "Let's fuck shit up."
[laughter]
[man 3] You gotta write that down, man. Appreciate that, man.
-[Nikita] Hi, guys. -[man 4] Morning, Nikita.
Red Bull Racing Honda driver here.
Hi. Checo Pérez, Red Bull driver…
[chuckles awkwardly]
It says, "Finish with a smile." [laughs]
[reporter] How do you see the dynamic working?
Lando's been there three years, but Daniel comes with a certain--
[Brown] He's got a gravitas to him. Yeah. Two great personalities. Different. Um…
[Buxton] For a team like McLaren, watching how that dynamic works
is going to be fascinating.
A lot of people might assume that parachuting in a race-winning driver,
one of the best in the sport, would be a guaranteed route to success,
but it's really not that simple.
[Ricciardo] Morning.
[Buxton] Formula 1 has countless examples of big-name signings,
that big-name being their poster boy for the future,
but it just not working out.
-[Ricciardo] Hi, Ted. -[Ted] Hello. Who's that?
-[Ricciardo] Uh, Carlos Sainz. -[laughter]
[Ricciardo] Eh… McLaren, uh, muy bien.
[mocking laughter]
[Gow] Ferrari have also made their big-name signing,
tempting Carlos Sainz away from McLaren.
They're hoping his pairing with Charles Leclerc
can bring success to the Italians.
-[Leclerc] Looking forward to it? -[Sainz] We're nearly there, no?
-Half a day more of interviews. -[chuckles]
[Norris] It's weird seeing Carlos in red. It is.
I guess two years kind of working with him,
my first two years in Formula 1,
you know, we're good mates and everything.
[Sainz] You deserve it.
[producer] What do you think motivated him to go to Ferrari?
Pure cash.
[chuckles]
Wanna walk back in there, mate?
Sure you don't wanna walk in that direction?
-[high-pitched] Yeah, you do. [laughs] -[laughs] No.
-[Norris] All right, see you on track. -See ya.
I think I'm gonna enjoy it a lot,
just fighting my old team and my old teammate.
We are a much more solid team than what we were 11 months ago, so…
So I'm happy and pleased about this.
[dance music playing]
[commentator 1] It's time for qualifying. Just who is gonna come out on top?
[man] Good luck.
[Brown] All right, showtime.
-Thanks, man. This is it. -[Brown] Oh, this is it.
[Seidl] Good luck for your first ever qualifiers.
Cheers. Cheers, geezer. [giggles]
[Brown] I put a tremendous amount of pressure on myself,
so, uh, I know what shareholders and everyone on the race team expects.
The team championship requires two cars on a very regular basis
bringing home as many points as… as possible.
So, uh, I'm nervous every start, I'm nervous every pit stop,
I'm nervous on every pass.
It's gonna be exciting and nerve-racking all at the same time.
[Seidl laughs]
[engine revving]
[commentator 3] It's Zak Brown's first opportunity
to see how his new driver lineup performs out on track.
[edgy music playing]
[Joseph] So, Lando, ready for the best timed lap we can.
[Norris] Yeah, I got it.
-[commentator 4] Oh, understeering. -[commentator 1] He's lost time.
[Norris] Big mistake, turn 13.
[commentator 1] Norris under pressure then.
[commentator 2] Norris across the line. Not that great a lap time.
Now it's all eyes on Zak Brown's superstar signing,
Daniel Ricciardo.
[commentator 1] Ricciardo's never been out-qualified by a teammate in Bahrain.
[Stallard] Okay, buddy, compared to Lando, good start.
[Ricciardo] Okay.
[tense music playing]
[man] Very close.
-[Brown] Pull it back. -[man] Super close.
[commentator 2] Will Ricciardo beat Norris in his first outing in the McLaren?
He does!
[upbeat music playing]
[cheering]
[Stallard] Daniel, you've qualified P6, mate. Good job!
-[Ricciardo] All righty. -[Stallard] Pretty happy with that.
[Ricciardo] Nice. We hit the ground running. Thanks, guys.
[Brown] Well done, guys.
Good start. Good start.
I'm not surprised in the slightest. Daniel's a great racing driver.
I feel like we'll take a step forward this year.
[Ricciardo] Yeah, boy.
-[Italiano] Attaboy. -[Ricciardo] Yeah, boys.
-[Italiano] Good start, mate. -[Ricciardo] Yeah, yeah!
[Italiano] Good, man. Could dance from there.
[Ricciardo] Far out.
[Buxton] Daniel, the only 2020 F1 driver that's out-qualified his new teammate.
[Ricciardo] Yeah, it was… I mean, that's a nice, let's say, tick.
Maybe it's the, uh, the 31-year-old in me. I don't know.
[Sefton] You were so close.
-So close. -[Norris] Yeah, sure.
[Berryman] How is he?
[Sefton] He said, and I quote, "1-0 down already. Fuck, shit, fuck."
[Berryman] Ah.
[inaudible]
-[Norris] Charlotte, don't say it. -What?
-[Norris] That it was close. -It was!
[man] Mr. Carlos Sainz.
Hey.
-[Sainz] Slow down, okay? -[laughs]
[Sefton] What do you want me to say from now on?
-"Oh, mate--" -[Norris] "You're shit, Lando."
"Go get a new job."
[Sefton] "We knew Daniel was gonna be better."
[Norris] I'd prefer that.
[laughter]
[upbeat music playing]
[Brown] Morning, guys.
Here we go again.
-[Coulthard] How are you? Oi! Hey! -[Toto] Congratulations. We're all proud.
[Coulthard] Thank you very much.
-[Horner] Children okay? -[Carola] Perfect, thank you.
-Good. -[Carola] Yes.
We have to get them together at some point.
[Horner] Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah.
-[server] Carrots and hummus. -[Ricciardo] Carrots and hummus.
-Thanks, Phil. -[man] Are you good? Sleep well?
Um… Not bad. Good enough.
Thanks, mate.
[tense music playing]
[Malvern groans]
-[Norris] Let's fuck shit up. [laughs] -[Malvern] Fuck shit up. [retches]
[commentator 3] First race of the season, the one we've all been waiting for.
The hotly-anticipated Bahrain Grand Prix.
-[Ricciardo] All good? -[Brown] All good.
What's your pre-race ritual? Music?
[Ricciardo] Music.
-We'll do some, like, reaction lights. -[Brown] Yeah.
[Ricciardo] And then just music. Yeah.
-[Brown] So I can fuck off any time now? -[Ricciardo laughs]
Our goal, of course, needs to be to retain third.
So it's critically important that both drivers work well together
and have a healthy competition.
Key thing there is you need to keep it healthy.
Right. It's about showtime.
-[man] Good luck. -[Brown] All right.
[Stallard] Daniel, green light is in 30 seconds.
[Ricciardo] Okay. Radio is good.
-[Norris] Radio check. -[Joseph] Loud and clear.
[Norris] Cool.
[commentator 3] The two McLarens side-by-side
at the start of a huge year for Zak Brown.
[commentator 2] All cars in position.
The most anticipated season in a long time in Formula 1.
[engines revving]
[Stallard] Okay, let's see what we've got.
[commentator 2] Norris gets the better start.
The McLarens are side-by-side.
[man] Don't go taking yourselves out, lads.
[commentator 3] Can Norris go around the outside?
[Norris] He forced me off.
[commentator 2] The two McLarens battling each other and not the opposition.
[commentator 1] Norris is gonna challenge him all the way up to turn four.
And they're gonna go wheel to wheel.
Round the outside, Lando Norris has gone ahead!
[Joseph] Nice job, mate. Nice job.
[Stallard] Daniel, now it's your turn. Let's get stuck in.
[Ricciardo] Yep.
[commentator 2] Back comes Ricciardo.
[man] He might nick this.
[commentator 1] Norris will force him as wide as he possibly can.
[commentator 2] The McLarens still fighting each other,
and the rest of the pack is breaking away.
[commentator 1] Lando Norris stays ahead of his teammate, Daniel Ricciardo.
[Joseph] Okay, Lando. Let's get in a rhythm now.
[Norris] Yeah.
[dramatic music playing]
[commentator 1] Norris is right on Gasly's tail.
Lando Norris has gone ahead of Pierre Gasly!
[Brown] Norris!
[Joseph] So, Lando, car in front is Leclerc.
[commentator 2] Norris, all the way up to fifth. Can he get up into fourth now?
[Joseph] This is Plan A, maximum pace.
[Leclerc] I'm getting overtaken.
[commentator 2] And the McLaren breezes past the Ferrari.
[man] Look at that!
[Seidl] Come on!
-[Joseph] Good job. -[Norris] Yeah, I'm happy.
[Stallard] Two tenths slower than Lando.
[Ricciardo] Understood. Just hanging on to both axles at the moment.
Can't get that much more out of it. I'm gonna start being vulnerable.
[commentator 2] Here comes the Red Bull of Sergio Pérez
down the inside and he overtakes Ricciardo.
[commentator 3] Ricciardo just hasn't got the pace.
He's really struggling. It's gonna be very difficult from here.
[commentator 1] Hamilton crosses the line and wins the Bahrain Grand Prix!
[commentator 2] Lando Norris finishes fourth,
scoring big points for McLaren.
-[Joseph] Well done, mate. P4. -[Norris] Are the fireworks for me?
[Joseph] They can be.
[delighted whooping]
[Brown] Nice job, guys!
[commentator 3] Daniel Ricciardo comes home in seventh.
Not the ideal start for the Australian.
-[Stallard] P7, Daniel. P7. -[Ricciardo] Cheers, guys.
Obviously, I'll, uh… I'll learn a bit from today.
You looked punchiest. Like you had the biggest ego on the grid.
[Norris] I mean, I'm happy, because, um, I mean, I beat my teammate.
-That's always nice. -[man laughs]
Yeah, there's plenty to, um… Plenty to feed back on.
-[Italiano] Couldn't find the pace, huh? -No.
[Buxton] Look, it's impossible to judge a new driver
on the first race at the start of a new season.
-[Seidl] First one under the belt. -[Ricciardo] Yeah.
Uh… It was pretty slow, but… but, uh… Yeah, I'll just learn from here.
[Buxton] But Zak will be hoping that the Daniel Ricciardo he wanted
starts to emerge over the next few races.
-[Stallard] Daniel, car behind is Lando. -[Ricciardo] Yep.
[Norris] I have a lot more pace in me.
[Stallard] Daniel, we want to swap positions.
We need to see Lando's pace in clear air.
[Ricciardo] Okay.
[commentator] To translate, "I'd like to get past my teammate, please."
"Could you tell him to move over?"
[Joseph] Lando. that's P3. Great job, mate. Well done.
[Stallard] Daniel, P6. I'd say we've got a bit of work to do.
[Ricciardo] Understood.
For every driver, if you're not at the level you wanna be
and your teammate is putting in the results…
[announcer] Well done, Lando Norris!
…you ask yourself the question of why you're not achieving what they are.
[Stallard] Daniel, we finished P16. We were P16.
[Ricciardo] Fuck.
[Buxton] Why you can't get the car to do what they can.
[Horner] But why is he struggling so much? It's strange.
-Because he's a lot better than that. -I know, yeah.
[Gow] Everybody wants to know what's happened to Daniel Ricciardo.
Everything that you hoped Daniel would bring to the team
seems to have disappeared.
It's heartbreaking.
[Ricciardo] What's the fine if I don't do media?
-[man] What's what, sorry? -The fine?
-[man] The fine? -If I don't do it.
[man] It's quite a lot. We should do it. We don't have to go right away.
-Take a couple of minutes. -[Ricciardo] Yeah.
[man] Work out what we want to say and then that's all we've got to say.
[Ricciardo] It hasn't been, like, an electrifying start for me. Um…
It has been tricky to get up to grips with the car.
It feels like I'm having to…
It's not necessarily learn a new sport, but, yeah, like, learn a new technique,
and so I'm building up… muscle memory, if you will.
It's still not… I wouldn't say it's still coming 100% natural for me.
It's embarrassing.
[Italiano] Chin up. We'll do media and then we'll get to work, all right?
Just remember something.
How you handle disappointment shapes what type of person you are, yeah?
[Ricciardo] What if I'm just a cunt?
[Brown] I think Daniel's been a little surprised
by not being closer to Lando.
That also, I think, shows just how… how damn good Lando is.
Because of Lando, we're in third.
Ferrari's behind us.
[Ricciardo] Yeah, to be standing here now, it's, uh…
Yeah, pretty, uh… pretty dark.
[Buxton] Coming into Monaco and with Daniel Ricciardo struggling,
Ferrari are now closing in on McLaren.
[edgy music playing]
[commentator 3] Stand by for action around the streets of Monte Carlo.
This is the 67th World Championship Monaco Grand Prix.
Monaco is the, uh, crown jewel in Formula 1.
There's a five-point difference in the championship.
The battle between third and fourth with Ferrari is gonna be challenging.
-[Leclerc] Ah! -[Sainz] It's nice. I like this.
[Leclerc] Yeah, it's very nice.
I really like living here.
It's very special for me.
Monaco is my hometown, where I've lived all my life.
I want to win every race. That's clear.
But, uh, Monaco probably even more so for me,
because I am Monegasque,
um… is on my special list.
[Sainz] It's weird for me to think that this is where you spend your whole life.
-[Leclerc] Yeah. -But then you get to race in Monaco.
[Leclerc] Carlos Sainz, uh, very funny guy.
We are getting on very, very well together.
We spent a lot of time, uh, during the off-season together actually
to prepare this year in the best way possible.
It's very strange for me to get into the mood of racing
when there's a race here.
[Sainz] Because I guess you're also sleeping at your house.
-Yeah. -[Sainz] So it feels like a normal day.
-But then you're also racing. -[Leclerc] Yeah, exactly.
[Sain] Basically, the streets of Monaco
go through all the places that he was when he was a kid.
So I can kind of understand why this place is so special for him
and why everyone loves him so much.
[Leclerc] This is my first school.
-[Sainz] Where? -On the left.
With the park all here and everything.
[in Italian] If your drivers are on good terms,
if they understand that team goals come before the individual.
Ferrari first.
[Leclerc in English] We will go around the traffic.
-Thank God you know the streets of Monaco. -[Leclerc] Of course.
[in Italian] If you beat your own teammate with the same car,
you have shown your superiority.
But not today. Today, we have other rivals.
[Sainz] Whoa-oh-oh-oh.
-[man in French] Go, go! -[Leclerc] Go!
-[man] Go, Charles! -[Leclerc] Thank you.
[Sainz in English] My God. Thanks. Thanks for the support.
[Leclerc laughs]
No, I felt the same way in, uh, in Spain.
[edgy music playing]
[Ricciardo] Morning, boys.
-[woman] Hi, guys. -[Ricciardo] Good morning. How are you?
[Brown] I think we can beat Ferrari.
[woman] Thank you so much.
Four or five races into the season,
they're our, uh, main competition right now.
-[woman] Good luck today and tomorrow. -[Ricciardo] All right, thanks. See ya.
[Brown] You know, Daniel's a bit confused as to why it's not clicked.
It's on him to pick up the pace.
[Gow] Monaco is a real opportunity for Daniel to prove to Zak and to himself
he is a race winner
and that he hasn't totally lost his way in that McLaren.
[man] Good luck for the race.
[Buxton] Monaco is a significant race for Daniel.
It's the race that means the most to all the drivers,
but it's also the last race that Daniel won back in his Red Bull days.
Now, Zak just needs to see Daniel back to his best and winning Grand Prix.
I think the… the memories of that day will always be so vivid, uh, to me
and I can close my eyes and recall pretty much everything.
[commentator 2] Daniel Ricciardo leading the Monaco Grand Prix.
[Rennie] Keep pushing. Keep pushing.
[Horner] Daniel, he is a phenomenal driver.
That Monaco victory in 2018, it was the most amazing race.
All his wins were big wins. They were big drives.
[commentator 1] It's redemption day for Daniel Ricciardo.
He wins the Monaco Grand Prix!
[Ricciardo] I know what I'm capable of around here,
so I just wanna live up to that.
[crowd whistling, cheering]
[Ricciardo] Zak's always believed in me and I want to give him back something
in the form of results, and success, and joy, and all the rest of it.
-[shutters clicking] -[Ricciardo] I wanna do that this weekend.
[crowd cheering]
[cheering intensifies]
[Ricciardo] Hey, how's it going?
-[Horner] I watched some of that race. -[Ricciardo] Mate, I know.
[Horner] How the hell you did that I will never know.
[Ricciardo] It was, uh… I dunno, a nice… nice memory.
-[Horner] Good memories. -I'll never forget.
[Horner] All right. Have a good weekend.
Under that big smile and big persona,
he's as competitive and hungry as any driver.
Zak needs to see Daniel come back to, you know, what we know he's capable of.
Winning races.
[chuckles] The fact that Lando's younger…
You know, he's a good-looking young lad,
he's driving the wheels off the car, he's funny.
[chuckling] He'll hate that. I mean, it couldn't be worse.
[Seidl] Radio check with the team.
We have, uh, two big news to announce.
Over to you, Mr. Lando Norris.
[Norris] We've come a long way together so far,
and, uh, we all want to make that next step to winning races.
I'm happy to say I'll be staying with you guys another few seasons.
[applause]
-[man] Well done, mate. -Cheers.
[Buxton] Lando Norris is the talk of the paddock this morning,
having signed a new contract with McLaren.
[Leclerc] Have you seen Lando has renewed his contract?
No. They announced--
[Leclerc] This morning. It's strange to announce it here.
-[Sainz] How long? Two years? -I don't know.
-They said a multi-year contract. -[Sainz] I'm gonna text him.
[Leclerc] Ask him. He will tell you.
Now that he's making 20 million a year.
[Leclerc laughs]
[Sainz] What do you want me to text?
[Leclerc] "How many years…
is your new contract?"
I'm gonna put something like, "Congrats," first.
-[Leclerc] Yeah. -No?
-It's too direct. [giggles] -Yeah, congratulate. [chuckles]
[Buxton] There was a lot of interest in Lando.
You know, Lando's obviously getting the results at the moment.
And Zak knows exactly what he let go in Carlos.
So for McLaren to lock Lando in makes a lot of sense.
[upbeat music playing]
[Norris] See the, uh…
You know the thing talking about Daniel and me feeling sorry for him?
[Sefton] Yeah.
[Norris] Did you see there's been bad stuff on it?
[Sefton] Yeah.
[keyboard clacking]
[Gow] All of a sudden, there's this little story that comes out
that Lando's saying he has no sympathy for Daniel
because Daniel can't get to grips with the car.
[Norris] Yeah, but what I said is just the truth.
I don't feel sympathy for him.
-Why would I? -[Sefton] You shouldn't.
[Norris] No driver… No driver on the grid would feel sympathy for another driver.
-[Sefton] Well, just try-- -[Norris] And not talk?
[both chuckle]
[man] The bits I wanna cover off are this bullshit that came up
about Lando's sympathy, uh, piece.
So I'm just conscious that someone might have a go
to sort of try and dig in there.
Not either anyone's job to feel sorry for anyone, basically.
-[Ricciardo] Yeah. -[man] Um…
We're here to get on with our jobs and--
[Norris] Unless you want me to feel some sympathy for you.
[Ricciardo] Not really.
[man] If you guys could shut that down hard, it's done and dusted.
[both] Yeah.
[man] Anything else? Any questions from you guys?
[Ricciardo] Um… [clicks tongue]
I guess, well, Lando's contract extension.
-[man] Yep. -[Ricciardo] That's… two years?
[man] We're not gonna… Just say multi.
[Ricciardo] But he still has a second job, 'cause he needs to pay a wage somehow.
It's difficult.
Times are tough.
[Buxton] Everybody expected Daniel and Lando to immediately click.
For a team like McLaren,
the important thing for them is lifting the entire team as one.
The drivers have to push in the same direction,
because there's a great vibe at Ferrari.
Everybody's getting on great,
moving that team in the right direction.
And now they find themselves
in that fight for third place in the Constructors'.
[tense music playing]
[crowd cheering, whistling]
[commentator 2] It's race day here in Monaco,
and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc starts in pole position at his home Grand Prix.
[Mattia in Italian] Monaco is obviously a special track to Charles.
He's been around the circuit more on foot than on wheels.
We're in pole.
That's something to celebrate.
In Monaco, if you look at the track's history,
starting in pole means a good chance of victory.
[Brown in English] The fight with Ferrari is, uh, is immense.
In, uh, Monaco, we have to be careful…
given that it's, uh, a street circuit.
You make a mistake by an inch, you're, uh, you're in the fences.
[engine revving]
[commentator 1] Leclerc making his way to the grid
where he will be starting on pole position.
It seems everyone in Monaco is cheering him on,
hoping the local boy can win for Ferrari.
[Leclerc] No.
No.
It's the gearbox, guys.
-[frustrated yelling] -[man] Unbelievable!
[Padros] Box, box.
We will put the car into the garage.
[Leclerc] Fuck!
Sorry.
[commentator 2] They're retiring the Ferrari
before the race even begins.
What a disaster for the Monegasque driver.
Oh… A lot of negative emotions, uh, this time.
It is my home race
and, uh, unfortunately, everything is over after that, uh… that formation lap.
[commentator 3] Ferrari's hopes now rest solely on new signing Carlos Sainz.
The two McLarens have a chance to increase their lead over the Italians here.
[Brown] I think, with Leclerc out, there could be an opportunity,
maybe extending the gap between Ferrari and us.
So we need to make sure we capitalize on this opportunity,
'cause every pass counts, every pit stop counts, every start counts.
[engines revving]
[commentator 1] Carlos Sainz. Then Lando Norris taking the inside line.
[man] Go on, Lando!
[commentator 1] Ricciardo has lost places. Down into 12th now.
[commentator 4] Ricciardo has had a particularly poor start.
[commentator 1] He's tumbling down the field.
[Stallard] This is P13.
I think you may need to attack to avoid being dragged out of the race.
[Ricciardo] Understood. I'll try and close up.
[commentator 1] Lando Norris is now finding some pace.
[man] Go on.
[Joseph] Okay, Lando, this pace is good. You're doing a great job.
-Absolutely great job. -[Norris] Yeah, I'm happy with that.
[commentator 2] The two former teammates, Norris and Sainz,
battling it out for the podium.
-[Sainz] Where is Lando? -[Adami] Norris is pushing behind.
1.1 behind. Pace is good.
[Sainz] Copy.
[commentator 2] In the other McLaren,
Ricciardo is being alerted to the, uh, precariousness of his situation
if he wants to score any points today.
[Stallard] Okay, Daniel, let's go now. Let's start picking up the pace.
There's a lot of action in front. A few cars have pitted.
Let's get back in this race.
[Ricciardo] I'm struggling more and more, so I think I'm only gonna get slower.
This is all it's got at the moment. I can't see it getting better.
[commentator 4] That's, uh, extremely bad news.
[commentator 1] Carlos Sainz on course for a podium finish for Ferrari.
[Adami] We are P2.
-[Sainz] What's happening behind? -[Adami] Norris behind.
[commentator 1] McLaren have Lando Norris in third at the moment.
His teammate, Daniel Ricciardo, down in 12th.
[commentator 4] Yeah, and not far from catching and lapping Daniel as well.
-[Joseph] Car in front is now Daniel. -[Norris] Yeah, confirm.
[Sefton] Danny's, he's lost the pace.
[Stallard] Daniel, shortly, you'll get blue flags for Lando.
[Ricciardo] Yep. Just let me know when.
I'll let him go.
[commentator 2] And Ricciardo is getting the blue flags.
He now has to allow Norris to lap him.
[commentator 1] Lando Norris waving to Daniel Ricciardo
as he laps him.
-[commentator 4] Ooh. That hurt. -[commentator 1] Yeah.
What a day for Ferrari!
They can celebrate, as can Carlos Sainz.
Second place.
[Adami] P2, Carlos. P2.
Monaco podium. First podium in red. Well done.
[Sainz] Yes!
Grazie. Grazie a tutti. Thank you, everyone.
[delighted exclamations]
[commentator 1] Lando Norris comes home to take third and another podium!
[Joseph] Yes, mate. Yes, mate. P3. Amazing. P3 in Monaco. What a job.
[Norris] Let's fucking go, boys!
-[delighted cheering] -[man] What a day. What a day!
[whooping]
[Norris] Fuck, boys!
Woohoo!
Monaco, baby. Monaco podium. Cheers, everyone.
[Joseph] Yes, mate. Still a long way to go this year. Plenty more to come, I hope.
-[Brown] Nice! [laughs] -[man] Hey, you.
[Brown] Nice!
Nice!
[commentator 2] Despite only having one car in the race,
Ferrari close the gap to McLaren to just two points.
The battle for third is on.
[Stallard] That's the checkered flag. Finished P12, I'm afraid.
Uh, we just need to figure out what was going on.
[Ricciardo] Yeah. Yeah, sorry.
Obviously painful for everyone.
A bit of a weekend to forget.
Just a shit run, but, yeah, what do you do?
[Stallard] It's coming, Daniel. I promise.
[Ricciardo] All right. No worries. Thanks.
This sport, it definitely still has the ability
to rip your heart out from one day to the next.
[woman] Daniel. Daniel!
[Ricciardo] Sorry, we've gotta run. Sorry, guys.
-A little, uh, frustrated at the moment. -[man] Yeah.
[Ricciardo sighs]
I need to go and fucking hit something.
[Coulthard] Lando, I can see the joy and happiness in your eyes.
Brilliant first podium here in Monaco.
Um… It is. Especially, uh…
[Sainz] Come on.
[Coulthard] There you go, Carlos. Great to see the brotherhood there.
Now, either Carlos wants to hurry your interview up
or you guys are just good buddies.
He can wait for one minute.
-[Sainz] No. [laughs] -This is my glory!
[cheering, whistling]
[Brown] I've never experienced this situation
where you see one car finishing third and the other not competitive.
Daniel has… has struggled,
which I think, uh, surprised us 'cause Monaco's kinda his home race.
He's… he's won it before. He's almost won it a… a couple of times.
So I don't think he, uh, yet quite feels comfortable with the car.
For sure, that's frustrating. So this one has thrown us a curveball.
I think holding on to third is gonna be very tough.
[Buxton] This year the British Grand Prix is the biggest race of the season.
[Horner] We lead the World Championship.
-[reporter] Are you smiling? -[Max] I always smile.
-We can't afford to lose. -[commentator] Into Copse Corner.
[Horner] If you want something bad enough,
you'll do whatever it takes.
-Williams are struggling to score points. -[Russell] Losing the brakes.
[voice catches] I'm quite emotional.
[Tsunoda] The amount of pressure is huge.
-[Spini] Yuki, push harder. -[Tsunoda] I am! Shut up!
-[Tost] What is he doing?! -[Tsunoda] Fuck! Sorry!
