[Brown] Okay.

[producer] So, Zak,
got something to show you.

-[cheering on video]
-[Brown chuckles]

[TV presenter] It's Wheel of Fortune.

[Brown] I remember it
like it was yesterday.

[TV presenter] Zak claims to be 13.
Is that true?

-That's me.
-[TV presenter] Okay.

This was, uh, an unusual way
to fund your racing career,

but it's exactly what I did.

-[young Brown] Wild Bill Hickok.
-[TV presenter] That's it.

[Brown] I took my winnings,
went and bought my first go-kart,

and that's how it got started.

I'm pretty confident I'm the only person

who's gone from Wheel of Fortune
to Formula 1.

[engine revs]

[tense music plays]

[commentator 1] Norris trumps Verstappen.

Yeah!

[Buxton] The rise of Zak's McLaren

in this first half of the season
has been absolutely incredible.

He has two electrifying young drivers

and the fastest car in Formula 1.

[Horner] I don't wanna let Zak beat us
at either championship.

I think we've got Christian's attention.

McLaren is a genuine threat.

Whether Zak is a genuine threat
is a different question.

In order to beat Red Bull,
you have to be better than the best.

[commentator 2] What on earth
has happened to McLaren?

[Brown] Fucking blew that.

-[commentator 1] That cost him dear there.
-You cannot make mistakes.

[commentator 2] I can't believe
what I've just seen.

[commentator 3] McLaren
might have blown it.

[Buxton] His car is ready.

His drivers are ready.

[music builds to climax]

[music fades]

But is Zak Brown?

[Brown] We fucked that up.

[wheel gun whirring]

[engine revs]

[gentle music plays]

[commentator 3] It's total domination
once again from McLaren.

Ayrton Senna and McLaren,

the 1991 World Champions.

McLaren win
their eighth Constructors' Championship.

[music intensifies]

[music fades]

[man] How are you feeling?

[Brown] Uh, good.

We've had an unbelievable run.
Drivers are doing great.

I think competition
between the two of them is

ramping up.

-So even though we're not there yet…
-[Walsh] Mm.

[Brown] …it's unbelievable

how quickly we've gotten here
from where we were.

And then you feel like
you don't wanna blow it.

You know, Zak,

what I'm gonna say is probably
gonna put more pressure on

rather than ease pressure.

You know it's been a tough few years.

This would be phenomenal
if we could deliver at Constructors'.

[tense music plays]

[Buxton] We're halfway through the season,

and we're in the midst of a battle
which no one foresaw happening.

McLaren have closed the gap on Red Bull

and find themselves in the hunt
for the Constructors' Championship.

This is their best opportunity
in a quarter of a century.

[music fades]

[Walsh] What was the last one? '98?

[Brown] '98, Häkkinen and Coulthard.

-A long time ago.
-Yeah.

It is a lot of pressure
building out there.

But it's getting stressful.

Everyone's excited.

We can't make mistakes.

And I don't wanna let anybody… down.

[Buxton] Two years ago,
McLaren were down and out.

You cannot overstate the journey
this team has been on.

But if they're going
to win this championship,

they've got to start playing it smart.

And right now,
they're just making too many mistakes.

[commentator 1] Lando Norris leads.

There are few people in the paddock
that now don't believe

that McLaren have the best car
in the sport.

But this season, they're throwing away
so many potential wins.

[Joseph] So, Lando, we are box this lap.
Box this lap.

[Norris] Confirm.

[Buxton] Should McLaren
have won in Canada? 100%.

Absolutely screwed the strategy.

[commentator 2] Lando Norris on pit exit,
but Max Verstappen takes first place.

[Norris] Fucking hell.

[commentator 2] It's Norris in the lead.

It's a McLaren one-two!

[Buxton] Silverstone,
they had the race in their grasp.

[Joseph] Lando, we suggest box this lap.
Box this lap.

The pit strategy was… horrifying.

[commentator 1] Norris makes his way out.

Did that stop for Lando Norris
cost him dear there?

Fuck's sake!

-Gap to Hamilton?
-[Joseph] 2.5.

[commentator 2] Lewis Hamilton
wins the British Grand Prix!

[Norris] Don't know what to say.

I don't think we did a good enough job
with our decisions.

[Buxton] And then what happens?

Budapest. How long is this episode?

[dramatic music plays]

[commentator 2] Lando Norris
passes his teammate.

McLaren created a situation
that they didn't need to create.

[Stallard] Okay, Oscar.

Don't worry about Lando.

We'll manage that situation.
Best pace from you now. Best pace.

[Piastri] Copy.

[Buxton] They pitted the drivers
in the wrong order,

such that Lando came out
ahead of his teammate,

and was now leading the race.

[Joseph] Okay, Lando.
We'd like to reestablish the order.

We do wanna let Oscar through.

[Norris] Uh, well, you should've
boxed him first then, surely, no?

[Joseph] Doesn't matter.

[commentator 3] This is messy
from McLaren.

And they didn't need to do this.

[exciting music plays]

[Joseph] Lando, I know
you'll do the right thing.

-Lando, radio check, please.
-[Norris] Yes, loud and clear.

[Piastri] When are we
planning on swapping?

The longer we leave this,
the riskier it gets.

[Brown] It was
a tricky situation to manage,

trying to be fair and equal
to both drivers.

[Joseph] Let Oscar through.

[Brown] Oscar was
the fastest car on the track,

and he had been dominant all day long.

That was his race,

so it was, "Let's do the right thing
and give the position back."

[dramatic music plays]

[Joseph] Lando, there are five laps to go.

[Norris] Well, tell him to catch up then.

[Joseph] Lando, he can't catch you up.

You've proved your point,
and it really doesn't matter.

[Norris] He's on much quicker tires.

[Joseph] Mate, for the good of the team.
It's gonna make this very awkward.

[Norris] Yeah, but it's shit.

[dramatic music continues]

[music stops]

[Horner] I guarantee you
Max wouldn't have swapped.

[Joseph] Lando, there are
many more opportunities.

[Norris] You don't need to say anything.

[commentator 1] Oscar Piastri,
winner in Hungary!

It's a McLaren one-two.

It's a victory that will cause
so much conversation.

[Stallard] Well done, Oscar.
Well done. Checkered flag.

Thank you, everyone. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the coordination.

I question what McLaren are doing.

I question the way in which they're
going about their race strategies,

the way in which they are
handling both their drivers.

They didn't even give you the option.

[Williams] To ask a driver to step aside,

it's just not natural to a driver
just to yield and to hand that over.

[reporter] Lando,
fantastic team effort this weekend.

We were thinking, "Is he not gonna
let him through, or what's gonna happen?"

The team asked me to do it, so I did it.
And, uh… Yeah, that's it.

As a team boss, Zak's responsibility now
is to be really clear with these drivers

who almost gets the priority treatment
on a race weekend.

[cheering]

[cheering fades]

[boat horn blares]

[Norris] This is how I dress every day
when we chill at home, in my shirts.

Fucking businessman.

[producer] Netflix bought you croissants.

[Norris] If you want a croissant,
you can have a croissant.

How were the celebrations
after the race last week?

There… There weren't any.

-[Fewtrell] No?
-No.

[Fewtrell] What have the team
said to you after?

We've not really spoken yet.

[Fewtrell] No? You haven't
caught up with the guys?

No. [chuckles]

I needed a few days to myself.

Yeah, I feel it was a shame
for both of you, really, in my opinion.

[Norris] It made Oscar feel…

like, underwhelmed.

-And it made me feel shit.
-[Fewtrell] Yeah.

[Norris] I expected things to go a bit
differently from a team side of things,

but at the end of the day,

I'm hired by McLaren.

When they tell me I have to do something
or they tell my teammate to do something,

we gotta do it.

At first, I wasn't gonna let him through.

I don't know.

It's tough.

When you're in the car, you can't think
as clearly as you can, like, now.

So when you're there and you're like,
"Now I'm leading the race, and I can win,"

then you're like,
"Well, I gotta go for it."

We wanna beat each other.

That's why we're here
doing what we're doing.

It's 'cause we wanna prove
that we're the fastest driver.

It's hard to explain to people
the dynamic of it,

having… being teammates, but almost…
but at the same time, your biggest rival.

If you guys want the championship,
I think you need to be a bit more clear.

My actions were very clear.

You don't wanna let go of a win.

No.

Now, looking back on it,
you probably did the right thing.

-Yeah, I think I did.
-[Fewtrell] I think so.

I hope I did.

[Brown] Throw a couple
of these bad boys on.

And then

let's make our mom proud
and do some healthy stuff.

Did you watch the, uh, last race?

[man] Yeah. What do you think?

It's a bummer, obviously, what happened.
Lando, he did the right thing and changed.

[Kopitar] Yeah.

But maybe he should've changed
a little bit earlier,

but that was Oscar's race to win.

-He was in front. He was flying.
-[Kopitar] Yeah. Of course.

And I think Lando realized that.
But I'm also sympathetic.

-These guys are trained to go for the win.
-To win.

There's no way you can have
two guys that competitive

right next to each other all season long

and not have some mishaps.

Do you think there comes a point
where you kind of have to make a decision?

Who's clear-cut one, clear-cut two?

No, I think that we're always
gonna treat 'em as number ones.

That's how McLaren's always gone racing.

We've commented many times
we have two number one drivers.

We're gonna support them equally.

Uh, ultimately,
it's gonna score us the most points

for the Constructors' World Championship.

I guess,
from the racer's standpoint of view,

I kind of get Lando, how he was upset.

-Yeah, I think it's all about how you…
-[Kopitar] Yeah.

-…handle it.
-[Kopitar] Okay.

-It's like any family. [laughs]
-[Kopitar] Yeah.

[Buxton] It's very noble
to say you have two number ones,

but look at Red Bull
and their run of recent success.

Clear number one driver.

You look at Ferrari in the 2000s

in the Michael Schumacher
era of dominance.

One clear lead driver.

The two number-one-drivers philosophy

rarely, if ever, works out.

[operatic music plays]

[commentator 2] From the terracotta
clock tower

through the greenery
of the royal parkland…

[dramatic music plays]

…you will find the red wall.

Three miles of tifosi

because Monza just means more.

[crowd] Ferrari! Ferrari! Ferrari!

As a Ferrari driver,
Monza is the race of the season.

[Leclerc] Monza
is such a special place for Ferrari.

It is an experience
you will forever remember

for… for all your life.

If they were less nice people
and they didn't make such good food,

it would be quite intimidating.

Buongiorno.

-[fan 1] Can you sign my cap?
-Sure can.

-You all right?
-[fan 2] Good luck, mate.

-I've lost my girlfriend.
-[laughter]

Where is she?

-[Horner] Is this season seven?
-[producer] Yeah.

-We're coming out of it all right?
-[producer] Always.

You're not portraying me
as the villain this year?

-[producer] When's that ever happened?
-Seasons one to six.

[laughter]

From the start of the season,

looking like it was
going to be a one-horse race,

and Red Bull were going to dominate,
just like they did last year,

Monza represents, quite incredibly,

an opportunity for McLaren
to take the lead

in the Constructors' World Championship.

[Horner] We've had
an amazing season in 2023,

but we've definitely
got more pressure on us this year.

Morning. How you doing?

The car is not delivering on track.

[Verstappen] It's fucking terrible.

We're slower than last year
in some corners.

Everything's shit.

Checo's form has taken a dive.

His lack of point scoring
is really hurting the team.

And suddenly the Constructors'
Championship starts to look vulnerable.

McLaren, they've got a strong car.
They've got two good drivers.

[producer] So how would it feel to lose
to Zak Brown in the Constructors'?

It would hurt to lose it to anybody.

Morning, guys.

Yeah, yeah.

Um…

[Ogg] Oh, Lando's coming.

Um, okay, Hungarian Grand Prix recap.

Obviously, we're in a difficult situation.

And, Andrea, I'll let you jump in here,

but obviously, I think highlighting
that you were both team players

in that situation was the key one.

Race drivers

have the double nature
of being very competitive

and being team players.

And we work very hard
to have two number one drivers.

It is not the easiest situation to manage.

Is everyone happy
that they're going into today

in a good frame? Cool.

-Thanks, everyone.
-[Stella] Yeah.

[Buxton] Teammates in Formula 1

always seek to beat each other.

[Norris] Having momentum on your side
is always a good thing,

but things need to be perfect to compete
against the guys we're competing against.

While Lando has the points advantage,

Oscar has turned up
and, in 18 short months,

has proved himself
not just to be on the same level as Lando,

but there is an increasing feeling

that Oscar has a higher potential

to become not just a world champion,

but a multiple world champion.

If there's an opportunity
to put myself in a chance

to win the drivers' standings, then I'll
try my best to make sure I'm there.

[tense music plays]

[producer 1] Would you pick
a clear number one and number two?

I would pick a clear number one, yes.

[producer 2] Should McLaren
prioritize Lando over Oscar?

Yes.

[producer 2] Are you happy
to play number two to Lando?

Mm.

No.

[man] I think Lando's not happy.

Yeah.

I just hope, uh,
Piastri has a go at Lando.

[producer 1] If you could have
one of the McLaren drivers,

which one would it be?

Oscar.

[tense music plays]

[commentator 3] Good afternoon
and welcome to the Italian Grand Prix.

Sergio Pérez is eighth.

Max Verstappen seventh.

Red Bull's worst qualifying performance
since Singapore last year.

[McLaren engineer] Thirty seconds to go.

[commentator 3] It's a McLaren front row
lockout, with Oscar Piastri in second,

and it's Lando Norris at the start.

[Buxton] McLaren,
they don't need to play it smart.

They just need to bring it home.

[Stallard] Oscar, radio check.

[Piastri] Yep.

[tense music continues]

[commentator 1] Piastri moves to the left
to put pressure on George Russell.

Piastri came across me
in the braking zone.

[commentator 2] McLaren finally get
the start they needed.

Go on, boys.

[Stallard] Oscar, nice job.

[Piastri] Copy.

[tense music continues]

[commentator 1] The McLarens
are side by side.

And Oscar Piastri
is going to take the lead

with a bold and brilliant move.

[Norris] Oh, Jesus!

[commentator 3] Should it
have been on his teammate?

[mechanic] What the fuck, mate?

What are you doing?

[commentator 1] Norris under pressure

as Charles Leclerc now comes through.

[cheering]

[Bozzi] Charles, nice job.

[Norris] Fucking hell.

[tense music plays]

Problem is not only did he
put Lando at risk,

he's compromised our strategy.

[Stallard] Oscar, you're currently
the fastest car.

Reminder, take care with the tires.

[Piastri] Pretty good.

[Joseph] Lando, how's the pace?

[Norris] Yeah, I'm

struggling to keep up at the minute.

[Lambiase] So, Max, compared to Checo,
you are braking later into one.

[Verstappen] Yeah, tires are going now.

[Lambiase] Box and pit. Confirm, Max.

[commentator 2] That was
quite a slow pit stop.

[Verstappen] Fuck, man!

[Lambiase] Just get on with it, Max.

[exciting music plays]

[Joseph] Lando, how are the tires?

[Norris] The front left
is definitely starting to go a little bit.

-[Joseph] Box this lap, box this lap.
-[Norris] Confirm.

Fuck.

[commentator 2] He's hit the marker
coming into the pits.

A lack of concentration for Lando.

[tense music plays]

Piastri leads,
now five seconds clear of Charles Leclerc.

[Stallard] Oscar, you need 15 laps
out of this tire.

[Piastri] Front left
is pretty… pretty dead.

[Stallard] Oscar, I think we should
box this lap. Box this lap.

[Piastri] Okay, box.

[Bozzi] Charles, stay out. Stay out.

[Leclerc] Copy that.

[commentator 1] Charles Leclerc
takes the lead…

[cheering]

…as into the pits comes Oscar Piastri.

Why did McLaren give Ferrari this chance?

Leclerc has just got
to nurse his tires till the end.

[Piastri] How far ahead is Leclerc?

[Stallard] 14.2.

[Piastri] Fuck.

[commentator 2] This is
a huge gamble from McLaren.

Piastri's on the fresher tires now,
hoping he can catch the Ferrari.

[tense music plays]

[Stallard] From Leclerc, we see high wear,
so keep the pressure on.

[commentator 1] Seven laps remaining,

and Piastri is gaining
over a second a lap.

[Bozzi] Charles, we need
to increase tire saving.

[Leclerc] Leave me alone.

[tense music builds]

[Stallard] Three laps to go.

Four seconds.

This is the last lap. Last lap.

[commentator 1] A day
that was gonna be all about McLaren.

They've been usurped by Ferrari.

[cheering]

[Bozzi] That's it, Charles.

[in Italian] Oh, how you make me dream!
You make me dream!

[Leclerc] We did it again.
Come on, let’s go!

[commentator 2 in English] Oscar Piastri
comes home to take second for McLaren.

Lando Norris in third place.

[Joseph] You did it, mate.
That's the checkered flag.

[Norris] Yeah, gutting.

[commentator 1] Red Bull
didn't have the pace today.

Verstappen could only finish sixth.

Sergio Pérez, it was
54 seconds off the lead, finished eighth.

[dramatic music plays]

[music stops]

[commentator 1] Leclerc wins
for Ferrari and Italy.

An impressive win. Monza is in love!

[crowd] Ferrari! Ferrari!
Ferrari! Ferrari! Ferrari!

[tense music plays]

[Brown sighs]

Fucking blew that.

[Joseph] Can't win them all.

No.

Frustrating.

[tense music continues]

[music fades]

[dramatic music plays]

[Brown sighs] Shit.

McLaren should easily have had a one-two.

At a point where Red Bull's performance
is looking shaky…

[Brown groans] Tough one.

[Buxton] …to let them race makes no sense.

[Brown] We fucked that up.

[music fades]

[Buxton] Zak should never have allowed it.

[somber music plays]

I feel for him.

It shows how much it means to him.

[Norris] If had expected him to do that,

he would never
have had the chance to do it.

[somber music continues]

Uh, probably cost us the win.

[Piastri] We're free to race each other,
so, you know, there's no…

there's no rule about the first corner.

That decision is down to Zak.

I know that we got that wrong.

If we're gonna win the Constructors',
we need to minimize the mistakes.

[producer] Is this gonna
cost you the championship?

I wouldn't wanna think about it, so I've
decided I'm not going to think about it.

[music fades]

[Italian national anthem plays]

[man] Imagine the win bonus
he's got for winning here.

[music stops]

[Williams] Zak's decision,
it was a balls-up,

and Ferrari have just
spiced it up completely for us.

[dramatic orchestral music plays]

[laughs]

[in French] My love, my love.
Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

[Williams in English] Charles takes
the win and put his team in contention

for the Constructors' Championship.

[in French] Hey, my love.
My love, my love!

I think that being a champion,
for everyone on the team,

is important

because I know
what this means for Ferrari.

[man in English] Thank you.

[music fades]

[Horner] We got lucky
with Ferrari winning.

We got lucky with McLaren
doing their funny business.

I don't know what the Constructors' is now
but I think a couple of points.

-We're ten points clear.
-Ten points?

Ten, nine with Leclerc.

It's just nothing, is it?

I mean, they're doing
20 points a race on us.

-Good effort.
-[woman] Thank you.

[Horner] Good effort.

-Oh, that was a tough one.
-[man] Yeah.

[Horner groans]

Fuck.

[man] I liked the big move.

[Piastri] It probably wasn't appropriate
to take a big move on my teammate.

[laughter]

[Williams] Zak really needs
to get on top of this situation,

manage these drivers,

and make sure that the Constructors'
is put at the forefront of their minds

when they are going into a race
on a Sunday afternoon.

[Brown] We left points on the table.

Ultimately, it's my responsibility.

I know the buck stops with me.

[tense music plays]

Yankee field.

Morning.

[tense music continues]

Morning, morning. Morning.

[music fades]

What's happening?

I was not very good in school.
I was a troublemaker,

and I think some would describe me
as a bit of a troubled kid.

I got kicked out of schools.
I didn't graduate high school.

So I'm definitely not a, uh, role model,

but I was always laser-focused

and very passionate
about things that I loved.

And back then,
it was racing, it was baseball.

Let's go, let's go. "Thunder" on three.

-One, two, three.
-[all] Thunder!

[Brown] I'm terrible at turning off work.

Decompressing is not
one of my greater strengths.

And, uh, this year,
there's a lot of pressure.

[commentator 3] I cannot understand
the logic at all for McLaren.

[Brown] But I don't think
you can win championships

if you, uh, buckle under pressure,
so you definitely feel it.

But I enjoy it,
and I use it as a motivator.

[commentator 3] McLaren are going to be
asking themselves some questions.

[Brown] You know, you lick your wounds,
and you learn from 'em, and you go again.

And we'll try not to make
the same mistake twice.

[applause]

[gentle music plays]

[cheering]

Oh, shit.

[music fades]

I'm getting old.

[man] How's the team look?
Got a chance to win it all?

Uh, we definitely have a chance to win
it all. It's getting pretty nerve-racking.

So what's it like having two drivers
competing against each other?

Is it a problem?

It'll be a continuous thing
we need to manage.

The nerve-racking part is
if one gets it wrong

and they're racing each other,
you can have both cars wiped out.

Oscar passed Lando,
like, on the first lap.

I think we, uh…

In hindsight, we weren't clear enough
on instruction.

I think the important thing is just you
learn from it so you don't do it again.

We gotta be

picture-perfect.

Pressure's immense now.

For Zak and McLaren,
the stakes have never been higher.

They never expected to find themselves
in this position.

But if Zak's not careful,

he's gonna throw it all away.

[suspenseful music plays]

[commentator 3] We're in Baku
for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

[reporter] Two types of races here,
either really boring or absolute chaos.

Which one do you think it'll be?

Let's hope it's a little bit of chaos.

[music fades]

[commentator 3] The Land of Fire
and the City of Wind,

where this high-speed
complex street circuit

punishes the smallest of mistakes.

[reporter] Checo, you're
the most successful driver ever here,

two wins, five podiums.

What's the maximum today
for yourself and for Red Bull?

The most successful driver ever here?

The King of Azerbaijan, Checo.

If we are able to put both cars on
the podium, will be a great team result.

[Horner] I would just love to put
a few points on McLaren this weekend.

[man] Has he gone a funny way,
or is it like…

[Horner] I think
he's gone the wrong way, no.

[groans] No, no, no, no,
it's back up… up here.

Bloody hell.

[tense music plays]

[Buxton] I mean, arriving in Baku,

there are three teams in contention
for the Constructors' Championship.

Red Bull,

McLaren,

and Ferrari.

They're in the hunt.

McLaren have to deliver.

They're not gonna get many more chances.

[tense music continues]

Here in Baku, the stakes are high.

Christian's Red Bull is struggling.

But if McLaren are to take the lead
in the Constructors' Championship,

they'll have to do it
without their CEO, Zak Brown,

who can't be here this weekend.

[music fades]

[Brown] I would've never thought
we'd have been here.

But now we need to close the deal.

One of the reasons we're so strong
in the Constructors' Championship

is we have two drivers that constantly
are running at the front of the field.

So it just needs to be managed
when you have talent like that.

Hey, Andrea.

Have you talked to the guys yet?

[tense music plays]

[Buxton] Formula 1 world championships
aren't won by being nice.

They're won by reminding your drivers
that they are employees

and they drive for you,

and what you tell them is what they do.

[music stops]

[Stella] The message is very simple.

The two McLaren cars
shouldn't go close to contact

like it happened in Monza.

We all agree that the situation

is one of those
that we want to avoid a repeat

because it was a net loss for the team.

Coming out of Monza, we learned what
we want to do a little bit differently.

We've decided that we are gonna
support the most experienced driver,

which should, um, give us
the best chance possible

to win
the Constructors' World Championship.

[tense music plays]

[Buxton] If you don't
lay down the law now,

then you are laying your own road to ruin.

And as hard as it is for Oscar this year,

that means he has to back Lando up.

[music fades]

Lando is in the best position,

and this is a fact.

Okay. Fair enough.

[man] So that's how we're doing it.

-Yeah.
-[Stella] Good.

[Piastri] Lando is, ultimately,
at the end of the day, more experienced.

Me kicking and screaming
is not gonna do anything,

and that's just not who I am.

What our approach is with some confidence,
that is the right thing to do.

[Piastri] Makes sense.

[Norris] You work how you gotta work
to maximize the team's results.

It's the smart move.

[Piastri] Good.

[Brown] Now everyone's on the same page.

So with qualifying,

we'll hopefully lock out the front row.

[tense music plays]

[commentator 2] The big shock
in qualifying.

Lando Norris, 15th on the grid.

Um… [sighs]

[commentator 1] What on earth has happened
to Lando Norris and McLaren?

Checo back on front running pace
on a circuit that he loves,

and he's gonna be gunning to keep Red Bull

at the head
of the Constructors' standings.

[tense music continues]

-You can fucking win this weekend.
-Yeah.

100%.

[Buxton] McLaren have finally
taken charge of their team

and decided
they were going to favor Lando.

And then just as they do,
everything gets turned on its head.

[commentator 2] Lando Norris,
15th on the grid.

[Buxton] It's an absolute disaster
for McLaren.

And they missed
their opportunity once again.

[commentator 1] Sergio Pérez
races from fourth.

[Wood] Thirty seconds.

[commentator 2] Oscar Piastri in second.

And Charles Leclerc
will have the view to the lights.

[Leclerc] And radio check.

[Bozzi] Loud and clear, Charles.

[tense music continues]

[exciting music plays]

[commentator 2] Pérez side by side
with Carol Sainz.

Pérez gets by.

Good pass.

[commentator 2] Charles Leclerc
in the lead. Oscar Piastri in second.

[Stallard] Oscar, the car behind
is now Pérez, 0.9

[Piastri] Copy.

[commentator 2] And now Lando Norris
fighting through from 15th on the grid.

[Joseph] Lando, 100% pace, please.

[Norris] Confirm.

[Joseph] Stroll has damage.

-Go on, Lando.
-[man] Come on.

[commentator 2] Tsunoda on the inside.

Norris really needs this.

And he's got it.

[man] Come on.

[commentator 2] Pérez is in third place,
closing in on Oscar Piastri.

[Pérez] What's the gap?

[Wood] 1.5.

[Pérez] I can't get close enough.
How do we get close?

-Ready?
-[Wood] Box, Checo. Box.

Box this lap.

[man] Go!

[commentator 2] Pérez pits from third.

That will put real pressure
on Oscar Piastri and McLaren.

[Stallard] Pérez has pitted.
Use the pace, Oscar.

[Piastri] Copy.

[Joseph] Okay, Lando,
so Pérez is exiting the pit lane now.

We want you ahead of him.

100% pace.

[commentator 2] Pérez
finds himself behind Norris.

This gives McLaren a huge opportunity
if they play it right.

[Joseph] Lando, can you do anything
to hold Pérez up without hurting yourself?

-[Norris] For how long?
-[Joseph] One or two laps, please.

[Norris] Yep.

[tense music plays]

Norris is fucking holding me.

[Wood] Yeah, we see that.
He's playing games.

[Stallard] Oscar, box this lap.
Box this lap.

Copy, box.

[commentator 2] Here comes Piastri
into the pit lane.

-[Pérez] Did Piastri box?
-[Wood] Yeah, he's boxed. It's on.

Overtake's available.

[commentator 2] Pérez gets past Norris.
What can he do about Piastri now?

[tense music plays]

[Wood] Piastri close at exit.

[commentator 2] Piastri comes out,
and he's ahead of Pérez.

[man] That was so close.

[Joseph] Thank you, Lando.

[man 1] Well done, lads.

[man 2] Ten out of ten.

[commentator 2] Charles Leclerc
is the race leader.

[Bozzi] Charles, car behind is Piastri.

0.7.

[Leclerc] They are pushing like crazy.

[commentator 2] We've got a real battle
at the front.

[Stallard] Oscar, Leclerc 0.7.

Let's be smart here.

Here we go.

-Go on!
-[man] Go!

[Leclerc] They have more grip than us.

[Bozzi] Copy. Just keep
doing a good job on tires.

[tense music plays]

[Stallard] Oscar, use overtake.

[Piastri] Cool.

[music stops]

[commentator 1] And Piastri
takes the lead.

[cheering]

[commentator 2] And if it finishes
like this,

McLaren will take over the lead
of the Constructors' Championship

by one point.

[Joseph] Okay, Lando. Five laps to go.

Best pace to the end to catch Verstappen.

[Norris] Confirm.

[commentator 2] Norris is up eight places
from where he started this Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen being reeled in.

[Lambiase] Gap is 3.3.
Try and find another tenth or two, Max.

[Verstappen] I have zero bite in the car.

[Lambiase] Okay, keep your head down.

[Verstappen] Tires are going now.

-[Lambiase] Which axle, please, Max?
-[Verstappen] Everything.

Rear tire's fucked. I'm not holding this.

[Joseph] Main opportunity
to Verstappen is turn one.

[commentator 2] Norris gets by.
He's passed Verstappen.

And that is a brilliant comeback drive.

[Wood] Checo, Leclerc, he's ours.
This is our shot.

[commentator 2] We have Pérez
right behind Charles Leclerc.

Carlos Sainz closing in as well.
A three-way battle for second.

[Wood] Gap 0.9. We're close.

[dramatic music plays]

[commentator 2] Pérez flies
to the outside.

Can he get by after braking?

They nearly bang wheels.

Sainz gets by!

[Wood] Checo. Head down, mate. Head down.

[commentator 2] Oh, they're into the wall!

[man 1] Fucking hell!

[man 2] Not even on the fucking corner!

[Pérez] What the fuck
is he even doing, man?

Fucking idiot.

[commentator 2] Right at the end,
Sainz out. Pérez out.

Oscar Piastri wins
the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

What a day for McLaren.

[Stallard] Yeah, boy!

[Piastri] Fuck yeah.

What a day that was.
Thanks, everyone. Thank you. Thank you.

-[Stallard] Great team performance.
-[Piastri] Well done.

[Norris] Congrats.

Everyone should be very proud. Well done.

[triumphant music plays]

[cheering]

[man] Well done, mate.

Oscar drove a great race.

Lando helped Oscar out.

So to walk away, uh,
leading the World Championship,

a first and a fourth was pretty sweet.

Teamwork. Teamwork.

I didn't even think of Monza
and what happened.

There was an opportunity
for me to help, so…

It'll give us more points
as a constructor.

And that's how we work as a team.

But, uh, I'm taking full credit.

Christian, a word?
Checo deserved more than that.

Very, very disappointing.

Um, there's still a lot of racing to go.
Thank you.

[Horner groans]

[man] They're ahead of us now.

[Horner sighs]

Fucking hell.

To go from plumb last 18 months ago
to leading the Constructors' Championship,

it's the most incredible turnaround.

[all] Hey!

[uplifting music plays]

I don't think we can overstate

wh-what an achievement that is.

[music fades]

[cork pops]

[Brown] McLaren, top of the Constructors'.

It's about time.

[Norris] We're good friends,
but it doesn't mean anything on the track.

Singapore is one of those tracks
that you know stuff's about to happen.

-[Williams engineer] Careful.
-[Norris] Front wing damage.

We are absolute animals.

[Norris] Fuck's sake.

I wanna fucking win.

The conclusion of this season
is going to be box office.

[Norris] I can't see fuck all, man.

[Verstappen] Fuck! There's a crash.

I'm fighting Max, probably
the best driver ever in Formula 1.

We're not gonna give this championship
away without a hell of a fight.
