[reporter 1 on radio] One team in particular, and that is Williams.
The news broke last Wednesday.
Williams announced that, after 40 years being owned by the family,
they are being sold to some venture capitalists called Dorilton,
a US company.
[reporter 2 on radio] Claire Williams stepped down as deputy team principal--
[Claire] I've been driving to Williams for 18 years of my life every day.
And, you know, it's not a job.
It's not a job.
Williams is my home.
This sport has changed enormously in so many ways.
[rock music playing]
It is no longer what it was when my dad started out.
You know, a bunch of guys that loved cars and, you know, went racing.
They got their team together,
they pulled out the best car they could at the start of the year
and they took it round the world.
[commentator] Keke Rosberg has won for Williams!
[Claire] We've won 114 Grand Prix,
nine Constructors' Championships, seven Drivers' Championships.
We've taken nearly 300 podiums
and we've made names out of so many Formula 1 drivers around the world.
Sir Frank Williams created an incredible run of success.
The second most successful team in the history of Formula 1,
behind only Ferrari.
But the financial realities are what they are.
Big budgets from the factory teams make it incredibly difficult to compete.
[Claire] Now it's big business.
You do well, you get more. You do badly, you get less.
-[engine revving] -[clunking]
[commentator 1] Big crash. That's the Williams out.
[Russell] Car's all over the show. We need to sort this out.
We really, really need to sort this out.
[Claire] "Should Sir Frank Williams sack his daughter?"
It would be impossible for anybody to live up to that kind of a history,
that kind of a reputation.
[Claire] You know, under my watch, it started off great and didn't end well.
I think it was the right time for me to step aside
and let someone else give it a go.
It's something that I, you know, I'm… I'm okay with. I'm happy with.
[engine revving]
[birdsong]
Morning!
[edgy music playing]
Is it okay like this all or…
-[producer] You look great. -[laughs]
-[Ogg] Morning. -[Jost] Morning.
-[Ogg] Welcome. I can't hug you. -[laughs]
[Ogg] How are you?
-[Jost] Good. And you? -Good to finally have you here.
I'm Jost Capito, CEO of Williams Racing.
[Ogg] Um, do you want to come upstairs and get a drink?
-Yeah. -[Ogg] This is our conference center.
[Jost] When I got the call about the position of CEO at Williams,
"We would love to have you on board to… to change the team,
to get to the top again,"
that… it's something that gives you goosebumps
when you… when you think about it.
And it's, "Okay, that is the only challenge I would accept
within Formula 1 or within racing."
[Buxton] Jost Capito is perhaps best known
for his years in the World Rally Championship.
Rallying will race on anything, at any time, in any weather.
Formula 1 doesn't do that.
Yes, they're both four-wheeled motorsports,
but they are completely different forms of competition.
It's not gonna be easy for Jost coming in.
That crazy, risk-taking, rally driver spirit
will be needed in abundance
if Jost is going to move the Williams team forward.
[Jost] I've got one story from rallying.
One of the drivers at rally lost their confidence in the car
and I said to the co-driver, "Squeeze his balls."
And he said, "What?!" I said, "Squeeze his balls."
So I asked a couple of seconds later, "Did you squeeze his balls?"
"Yes." I asked the driver, "Did you feel your balls?"
He said, "Yes." "Okay, so now you know you've got balls, go for it."
You have to distract them from the issue they have.
I think that is the confidence boost they need.
He's leading a team that's been stagnating at the back for years,
so he'll need to raise morale and expectations in everyone,
from the mechanics up to the drivers.
-[Jost] Morning, guys. -[Russell] Jost. How you doing?
-[Jost] Good, George. -[Russell] Yeah. [laughs]
[Russell] It's always a bit awkward when you don't know how to introduce yourself.
-[Jost] I would love to hug you, but… -[all laugh]
[producer] How would you describe his character?
Very honest. Direct.
You know, no bullshit. [laughs]
Upbeat, motivational.
Um…
German.
-Fingers crossed we have a fast race car. -[Jost] You'll get the best out of it.
[Russell] Well, I try. I will do my best, as always.
How we doing? All right?
'Cause I had a bit of banter about not being in the previous season
on my social media.
-I don't know if you saw. -[producer] Yeah.
[Russell] Could I do something like holding the…
[producer] No worries, mate. I mean, technically, you were in it very briefly.
-[chuckles] So you weren't-- -I was in it for a second, weren't I?
I was on the phone to my missus.
-Brilliant. -[producer laughs]
Season four. Hopefully we make it in this year.
[Latifi] I have a really good relationship with George.
I think that's important between any driver pairing in F1.
Because when you have that kind of friendly dynamic as well
outside of the track or the sessions,
I believe that kind of energy does kinda radiate to… to the rest of the team.
[Russell] How we doing? Boys.
It's Williams's second season with the same driver pairing,
but it may be their last.
An immediate problem for Jost is George Russell.
His contract is up at the end of the year.
Rival teams are circling,
and there's lots of speculation about where he might end up.
[suspenseful music playing]
[interviewer] It is your third year here, uh, final year of the contract.
Who knows? I'm just going out there, doing my job on the track.
What comes in the future will come.
My goal is to be in a… in a championship-winning car
as soon as possible.
You know, I'd love more than anything for that to be Williams.
That is where I want to be.
I want to be a world champion.
For now, we'll just focus on the job here at Williams for this season
and, uh, trying to get the most out of it.
Great stuff. I know the focus is very much Williams this season.
We want them right back where they were in this era, which is at the front.
Williams were a force to be reckoned with in Formula 1
and now they are struggling to score a point.
Jost's job is revolution.
Nothing else will suffice.
He has to completely turn that team upside down.
[Jost] At Williams, it… it needs a cultural change.
We have to see how we improve our processes.
We are really aiming for having the fastest pit stops
and everything that we can influence to be the best.
The new owners want to get Williams back winning races and championships again.
[applause, whistling]
[host] Ladies and gentlemen.
Please welcome onstage
Jost Capito!
-[applause] -So, good evening, everybody.
I think we are in Austin, we are in Texas, and it has to be like this!
[whistling, scattered whooping]
[Jost] At Williams Racing, we have a fantastic board
with Matthew, Darren, and James.
Please get up, and thank you so, so much for all your trust.
[whistling, whooping]
[Buxton] Williams have been bought by an investment firm named Dorilton Capital
who will want to see results, both on the track and in the boardroom.
Ultimately, the responsibility of that will fall to Jost.
The decisions that he makes, the direction that he takes the team in,
i-it's all down to him.
-[applause] -[Jost] Thank you so much.
-It was really cool. Really cool. -Have fun.
[Jost] It looked great, yeah.
Dorilton Capital, our owners, want to be successful on the racetrack
and create a brand that is successful beyond racing.
So the expectations of the owners is very high.
[camera shutters clicking]
[Buxton] Ultimately in Formula 1, the Drivers' Championship doesn't matter.
It's the Constructors' Championship that pays out at the end of the season,
and every position you climb in that Constructors' Championship
sees tens of millions of dollars more money.
That is what the team needs to see.
[playful dance music playing]
[Russell] Got the Williams crew walking in all together, eh?
-[Pérez] Too many cameras. -[man] Are you famous or something?
[shutter clicking]
[Ricciardo] Hey, Netflix.
[Steiner] No, we are slow walking. He said "No, we're faster on the track."
"Don't worry, I know that."
"I didn't say on the track. You are slow as a person."
[commentator 2] No points in the opening three races for Williams,
so Jost Capito will be hoping they can make headway
in round four at the Spanish Grand Prix.
[shutters clicking]
[Jost] Morning!
Coming in this year and being tenth in the championship,
that means being tenth in the paddock.
I have to walk past every other team, and it is a long way.
Through the whole paddock, every morning, every night.
I hate this walk of shame.
[Russell] The winners get to have the shortest walk into the paddock.
The losers are at the back.
Williams is right at the end of the paddock, because we finished last.
That is one walk of shame, for sure.
[Jost] It's physically painful to pass all the teams that are ahead of you.
Morning, guys.
I told the team they have always to do the whole walk
and, uh, stop at the point where they want to be next year.
Every single time you walk through the paddock,
it gives you the pure reality check where you are.
And then you have to think why you are there
and what do you do to move to the front.
We have to move forward this year.
It's taking more bold moves with the car,
but also taking more bold moves on the strategy.
Jost's job is huge.
The car is one that the team doesn't expect to be competitive.
They have a driver, George Russell, who's got one foot out the door.
It's not gonna be an easy time for him.
[Jost] Morning, everybody.
Last race, I couldn't be there, but we had a really good qualifying.
It was fantastic to be that close to Q3.
Absolutely outstanding.
And then, on Sunday, for me it was quite painful,
and I think it was for all of you as well,
so let's see what we can do this weekend, and, uh, let's go…
-[all] Racing! -[Jost] Okay, guys.
-[crew member] Thank you. -You're welcome.
[tense music playing]
[machinery whirring]
[engine revving]
[Jost] I want to get Williams back up the grid,
so you need to have good results in qualifying.
If we do this and take some risk in the strategies,
then, in the race, the points will come.
[commentator 3] Let's check in with Latifi. He's going for it.
-[Latifi] My left side mirror is cracked. -[Jego] Okay. Keep the pace.
[commentator 2] A 1:20 for Nicholas Latifi.
Of course, we're gonna see much faster lap times.
[Latifi] That's all there is.
It's ridiculous.
[Russell] Can you give me some advice on the pace?
[Urwin] We've got about 0.3 to find in sector one and similar in sector two.
[Russell] Copy.
[commentator 2] Russell goes onto his flying lap now
to see whether he can possibly squeeze that Williams into the top ten.
[Urwin] Let's just keep the pace up.
[Russell] Just keep an eye on the, uh, brakes obviously.
[Urwin] A-firm.
[Russell] The car is a harder to drive. I lost a lot of speed on the straight.
[commentator 2] It's not a good middle sector for Russell.
[Russell] Advise on brakes.
-[Urwin] The material is coming off. -[Russell] I feel like I'm losing them!
[commentator 1] So Russell round the final corner and he's not happy.
[decreasing engine revving]
[Russell] I obviously lost a lot of time in the last corner. Couldn't do any more.
[commentator 3] That's Russell, 15th, and Latifi, 19th on the grid
on a disappointing day for the Williams team.
[Russell] The car was…
It was incredibly slow,
difficult to drive.
It induced mistakes into my driving,
it made me lose confidence, and it was just difficult.
[machinery whirring]
-[Russell] The car-- -[Jost] What is with the brakes now?
The brakes are still very, very difficult. I think they're just worried for tomorrow.
[Jost] I think it's… To get… To get it now changing
and go into qualifying with brakes you've never driven, for me, is not right.
[Russell] No, for sure.
[Jost] As a CEO or team principal,
you have to take tough decisions for the benefit of the team,
and this is not always easy, but they are needed.
[Buxton] Jost comes across as very kinda, like, cuddly, really nice,
but, uh, there is a very serious operator that exists, uh, underneath that.
[Jost] I went out of the garage with George.
And George said he's not happy with the brakes.
Uh, Nicky complained a lot about the brakes.
He says he has no confidence in turn one.
He doesn't know what the brakes will do, if they would brake.
He gets on the brake, he has no deceleration at all.
You don't achieve the levels of success that he has in motorsport
without knowing, not just the decisions to make,
but having the fortitude to take them when you have to.
[Jost] We have to get the mechanics talking.
Because they don't tell you anything right now.
And then we sort it out step by step.
I don't want to start next year's season like this.
Yeah? Okay.
I think we need the full review. You co… I can't work like this, I tell you.
Yeah? Thanks.
[upbeat music playing]
[Russell] Jost, he's not messing around. [chuckles]
[man] No messing around.
[Russell] I think, um…
I think there's gonna be some people on their way out shortly
who have been there… for a little while.
It's needed, isn't it? These people need a kick up the arse.
If you're, yeah, finishing last for the last four years in a row.
[Jost] For me, the most exciting thing of Formula 1
is it's all about racing and performance.
When the flag drops, the bullshit stops.
[commentator 1] Here we go, for the second Sunday in a row.
It is race day here in Barcelona.
[commentator 2] After yesterday's qualifying performance,
Williams are going to have to pull something spectacular out of the bag
to have an impact on this race.
[Buxton] It's just been such a difficult season for Williams.
Jost is desperate to see the team score points.
And points would obviously please the investors.
One point can move you up one place,
which can bring you tens of millions of dollars more
in prize money at the end of the season.
[Russell] Jost is a racer. He recognizes the position we're in.
We don't have the pace. The car is slow.
And if we play the percentages, we'll come away with nothing.
If I finish 11th or 12th or 13th or 14th, you don't get points for that.
You get points for P10 and above.
And that's why you're willing to roll the dice.
[Jost] If the situation comes up that you can benefit from something,
we, as a team, have to be there to get it.
If we do bold decisions and they work out, we might get in the points.
If we see an opportunity coming up, we have to take it.
[engines revving]
[Urwin] Okay, George. Consider early overtake.
[commentator 1] Here comes the Williams of George Russell,
uh, trying to make a move on Mick Schumacher.
[commentator 3] Super move.
[Urwin] Right, let's crack on. Well done.
[Jego] Okay, Nicky, you're P16. Gap to ahead, three seconds.
[Latifi] Copy.
[commentator 1] "Engine stopped," says Yuki Tsunoda.
-[Jego] Safety car. -[Latifi] Safety car, safety car!
[commentator 1] Who's gonna benefit from this safety car?
[Jost] We have the ninth fastest car this season.
It's only if we take a different risk than others
we will finally get points.
-[Urwin] That tire's ready to go. -[Jost] Ready to go?
[Urwin] Okay, George, we'll box this lap.
[Russell] Yeah, understood.
[commentator 1] Down at Williams,
it looks like George Russell is making his way into his pit box.
[commentator 3] Jost Capito's team are rolling the dice here.
They're going for new tires
whilst the safety car is out and the others are unable to race.
[commentator 1] A strategic gamble or what?
[machinery whirring]
[commentator 2] That's their only pit stop done.
Very early, though, in the Grand Prix to have changed their tires already.
[Urwin] We are going to the end on this tire. Make sure you look after it.
We need some tires at the end.
[commentator 1] They might be a couple of laps shy.
How long will they last?
[Jego] Pace is good. You're doing a good job.
Gap 2.7 to George. 2.7.
[commentator 4] Look at George Russell. Up two places now. Tremendous.
[Urwin] Okay, George, currently P10. Currently P10.
This is looking really good for us. Let's keep it up. Looking really good.
[commentator 2] Thirteen laps to go. Russell is closing in on Alonso for ninth.
[Urwin] Okay, George, give us a tire update if you can. Tire feedback.
[Russell] Tires are pretty shot.
[tense music playing]
[Urwin] Okay, George, keep pushing. Keep pushing.
[Russell] I cannot get any closer than this.
[Urwin] Okay, there could be some fireworks ahead, George.
Three laps to go, three laps to go. Let's keep pushing.
[Russell] Uh, tires are gone, guys.
[Urwin] Go defend. Go defend.
[commentator 2] That's Norris into tenth and the Williams out of the points.
[tense music playing]
[Urwin] Okay, George, that's the flag, so go in lap.
[Russell] Sorry. Gave everything.
I was pushing like hell to do that.
[commentator 3] Russell, in the end, is 14th. Latifi is 16th.
Williams took a gamble today and it didn't quite pay off.
[Jego] That was a good race, mate.
[Latifi] I don't know. Still it's just… lack of pace overall, it seems.
[Russell] It's frustrating when you feel you've done everything you could
with cars around you who are much faster than you.
You know, you're the one driving the car and… [sighs]
…ultimately, people feel you're the one who can make the difference,
but, you know, we're punching well above our weight.
You know, of course the… the team feels a bit beaten up.
It… If you don't have any success
and you start the season from the previous season having zero points,
the morale, for sure, is not good.
If we do new things, take new approaches, we can beat the others.
If we have the pride and the belief that we can do better,
then we will do better, I'm absolutely convinced.
If we do the same as everybody does, we will always be not in the points.
I really push the team, and say, "Take some different strategies."
Good luck.
[commentator 2] Williams rolling the dice again.
Just one pit stop for them.
Most of the field doing two.
[Jego] That's P18.
-[Latifi] There's nothing from the tires. -[Jego] Understood, Nicky.
Probably a lot to learn.
[Jost] We'll get there.
[commentator 1] Welcome along to qualifying.
Let's see what they can do.
[commentator 2] Russell out of the final corner.
And it's ninth on the grid!
[Russell] That's fucking awesome! Nice one.
[commentator 2] Cheers and celebrations in the Williams garage.
[Jost] You know it's the first time Q3 for Williams since Monza '18.
Tell me about tomorrow, please.
-Points has to be the minimum. Has to be. -[chuckles]
[commentator 3] Lap 64 of 71.
Closing stages of the Austrian Grand Prix. Russell still hanging on ahead of Alonso.
That one-stop gamble paying off at the moment.
[Jost] We have to try to push.
[commentator 2] Alonso's got the chance.
His best chance of the race. And he's into tenth place.
[commentator 3] And Williams' wait for points continues.
You know, it was a really tricky race. Yeah, I did everything I could, but…
We're getting closer, that's for sure. P12 in France, P11 here.
Yeah, soon. Soon.
[Jost] Winning is everything.
That doesn't mean that you have to be in the team that always wins.
But we want to be closer.
So we want to… to close the gap
to the teams that are running in front of us.
It's not easy, but I want to do it for Williams.
We will do everything possible to close that gap.
[commentator 3] Welcome to beautiful Budapest.
The rain has arrived for round 11 of the Formula 1 World Championship.
[Toto] Morning.
[man] Nice.
Just that little bit of controlled aggression. Great work.
[Vettel] I have been mistaken for Daniel.
"Ah, you are that guy. I know you. Ah, you are Daniel Ricciardo." I was like,
"How did you know?" [chuckles]
[Russell] Not filming me getting changed, are you?
Bit Valtteri Bottas this, with my arse out, isn't it?
[edgy music playing]
[Sine in French] I hope the weather will get better.
[commentator 3 in English] Weather looks as miserable as the mood in some garages.
For newly-owned Williams,
they are staring down the barrel of a second year without points in a row,
unless they can achieve something on a mixed-up day like today.
[Jost] Uh… We worked so hard for the first half of the season,
and it was not always easy for hard work and for disappointment,
but if we continue doing this,
I'm sure there will be some points lying somewhere that we can grab.
[Buxton] At Williams, it's not the season that anybody wanted.
But to be sat with, you know, zero points heading to the summer break,
it's… ah, it's got to be soul-crushing.
[Jost] It's so difficult.
Dorilton, they feel exactly like the team feels.
[man 1] We need strong work ethic.
We do need a team leader who's very good at, um, at interacting with engineers,
working with them,
and putting the time in and really moving that car forwards,
because it is gonna be difficult.
-[man 2] We have to make a move ourselves. -[James] Yeah.
I would love to understand what your thinking is, uh, at this time.
[Jost] We still have quite a long way to go to the top
and our long-term objectives is we want to win races and win championships,
so I think we should talk about drivers.
George's three years are over at the end of the season.
This year, for us, he is excellent.
I believe we need a driver who can lead the team into the next step.
We have to look at what we can do to keep him.
If opportunity comes up, we have to be there to take it.
If we want to keep George, we have to deliver.
We have to get points.
[anticipatory music playing]
[Russell] Looks pretty gray out there.
[Latifi] Guys, if I could still have the fan?
Even though it's raining. Fucking toasting in here already.
[Buxton] They say that rain is the great equalizer in Formula 1.
[Steiner] Rain in a race situation is unpredictable.
You cannot predict it, you know. It just needs to come your way.
[Jost] If you are on the back of the grid,
sometimes it is the only chance to get points.
[commentator 3] Two years since Williams last scored a point then,
and that wait continues.
Jost Capito coming under increased pressure.
Can the team use the rain to their advantage?
[commentator 2] With the rain,
this is an opportunity for teams like Williams to score a big haul of points
if they take the right gamble at the right time.
[commentator 1] It's lights out and away we go.
Verstappen's been hit!
[loud groaning]
[commentator 2] The Aston Martin into the Ferrari.
[Leclerc] Ah! They fucked me!
[groaning]
[commentator 3] Absolute chaos at the first corner.
[Stroll] Oh, I just completely locked up.
[thumping]
[Pérez] What an idiot!
[Leclerc] They didn't stop!
-They fucking went into me. -[Padros] Yeah.
[Norris] What the fuck happened?
[Stroll] I'm so sorry.
[commentator 2] That crash has taken out five drivers.
Somehow, the Williams cars have avoided all damage.
and Latifi and Russell find themselves in the top ten.
[Jego] So, bit of an update.
You're currently P6. Russell P8.
[commentator 1] Nicholas Latifi is as high as he's been
at any time in any race in Formula 1.
George Russell is now eighth.
He surely, eventually, will get a points finish for Williams.
[Urwin] Okay, George. Go race.
[dramatic music playing]
[Russell] If you need to compromise my race to help Nicky, do it.
I will box early to avoid the undercut from anyone else.
Prioritize Nicky.
[commentator 1] Fair play, George Russell.
'Cause he can see what this scenario means to Williams.
-[Ogg] I actually feel sick. -[man] Yeah, I feel sick as well! [laughs]
[Jego] Okay, Nicky, 43 laps to go. You are doing great.
Maybe there'll be quicker cars around, but we're in a good position.
-Keep doing what you're doing. -[Latifi] Copy.
[Urwin] George, you're currently P10.
All the cars ahead have already pitted.
So if we can't get past Schumacher,
we've got 38 laps to manage and protect from Ricciardo.
[commentator 3] How many times have Williams been here before?
Russell needs to move up the field or risk missing out on points yet again.
-[Russell] I can overtake, it's fine. -[Urwin] Roger.
[dramatic music playing]
[commentator 2] Here comes Russell to the outside of Schumacher at turn two.
Russell goes right round the outside.
Brilliant move!
And he's now up into ninth spot.
-[Urwin] Nice work. -[Russell] Yes! I'm happy.
[Ogg] All right?
[man] Getting goosebumps.
[Jego] Okay, Nicky, we're still racing for P8,
so now the target is to go to the end.
[Latifi] Let me know if I need to up the pace.
[Jego] Keep pushing. Flat out. Flat out.
[commentator 3] This means everything to the Williams team.
They're only a few laps away from their first points in two years.
[Urwin] Verstappen, next car back now. Three seconds.
Let's start to pick up the pace.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Urwin] Verstappen, 2.3 behind.
[Jego] Keep pushing. Critical.
[man 1] Come on!
[man 2] Come on, baby!
[Urwin] Gap at 1.3.
-[Latifi] Is this the last lap? -[Jego] This is the last lap.
[Urwin] There will be one more lap.
Come on!
[Latifi] Yeah, I'm losing the tires a bit.
[Ogg] Come on. Come on. Come on.
[Urwin] Gap at 1.0. Go defend now. Said go defend.
[Jost] Come on! Come on!
[Jego] Overtake press, exit of last corner.
[raucous cheering]
[delighted squealing]
[commentator 2] Latifi in eighth and George Russell in ninth.
[Jost] Nicky, congratulations!
[Jego] Congrats, Nicky. Great job, that's P8. Amazing!
[Latifi] Yep, good job, guys.
[man] We fucking did it!!
[Jost] Fantastic job. Well done.
[indistinct chattering]
-[Russell] Ah! Come on! Yes, guys. -[Urwin] P9, mate, P9.
That's two and a half years of graft right there.
[Russell] Bloody deserve that. We deserve that.
-[applause] -[man] Well done, George!
[commentator 1] That's six points for the Williams team.
That is so necessary for them.
[commentator 2] It moves them up into eighth in the championship,
which could have huge financial implications
come the end of the season.
[Latifi] The past years have been hugely difficult for the team.
When Jost came in, the kinda team had some new life,
so there's kind of naturally this
positive uplift in, uh… in morale and atmosphere.
So coming so, so close to points on a few occasions,
then to kinda get that double points finish for the team
was so, so special, yeah.
-[Jost] You see! -[Ogg laughs]
-Uh, it was about time! -[Jost] Ah!
-My heart-- -[Jost] The right time though.
-[Ogg] Yeah. -Perfect timing.
[Ogg] Best way to do it as well with both of them.
-[applause continues] -[Jost chuckles]
Yeah, that was fantastic.
Fantastic, uh, feeling.
Fantastic!
It was such a relief for everybody.
Only if the team believes we are capable of getting points, we will get points.
If there was not a belief in the team
we would not have got the points, I'm absolutely convinced.
[Russell] Ah…
You know, three years of… of really hard work,
difficult moments.
Rea… Really difficult moments.
[breathes heavily, voice catches] I'm quite emotional actually.
[chuckles awkwardly]
-[reporter 1] I can see from outside. -[Russell] Yeah.
[reporter 2] George! Has to be an amazing feeling, yeah?
Yeah. [chuckles emotionally]
Fuck. P9. That is like…
[reporter 2] P9.
[exhales sharply]
It's been such a, like, long road for us, you know?
[mumbles incoherently, sighs]
-Yeah, fuck. -[reporter 2 laughs]
-[chuckles] That's enough. -[reporter 2] Best interview ever!
[Russell] I saw the sweat and tears
where the whole team got zero reward for all the time away.
Away from family, away from friends. Hard work, dedication.
And finally, we achieved something pretty special on that day.
Guys, can we get everyone in quickly? Before it rains as well.
For Williams, the glory days aren't as easy to come by as they once were.
[cheering]
[Buxton] The legacy of Williams is so incredibly strong,
but the motivation exists today.
That's Jost Capito.
Scoring some points, each little win
is the next piece of motivation to take the team back to better times.
Perhaps what Williams needed was a break from the past
in order to cement a strong future.
[photographer] Ready, everyone? One, two, three!
[all cheer]
[Russell] I would've loved for this to have been my first season at Williams,
because you really feel like the team is heading in a great direction.
We've got Jost at the helm, who is 120% focused on performance.
Whereas, previously, for… for other reasons,
it was focused on survival.
It would be a shame to leave and not be part of any future success.
I've got two options, I think, for next year.
Whatever happens,
the Williams name will… will live on for sure.
Young drivers have to perform immediately.
[commentator 1] Esteban Ocon in P14.
[Ocon] Fucking hell.
[Tsunoda] The pressure is huge.
-I can't fucking believe this car! -[Horner] He has to deliver.
[Ocon] The opportunity can be gone in a second.
[Tsunoda] Fuck! Sorry!
[Horner] You all right?
Max is feeling really unwell,
and it's a big concern.
[commentator 2] One race to decide the championship.
-[tires screech] -[groaning]
[Horner] It's now or never.
[dramatic music playing]
