Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,875
When Alex comes into a room, it's always
2
00:03:59,083 --> 00:04:00,958
a very special moment
3
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,500
because he has this history.
4
00:04:04,917 --> 00:04:08,875
You feel a bit reserved to begin with,
5
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:13,042
because he's so open about it and says:
6
00:04:13,708 --> 00:04:16,333
“When the brake pedal's a bit longer,
7
00:04:16,458 --> 00:04:18,875
I just screw on a longer leg!”
8
00:04:19,333 --> 00:04:22,458
To deal with the situation like that,
9
00:04:22,667 --> 00:04:26,417
you have to be a special kind of person.
10
00:04:28,292 --> 00:04:30,792
It's certainly a message to everyone
11
00:04:31,125 --> 00:04:34,667
trying to be successful in sport.
12
00:04:34,875 --> 00:04:37,167
Alex is the best example
13
00:04:37,375 --> 00:04:40,000
of how you can fight back.
14
00:04:40,833 --> 00:04:43,625
I don't believe there are any limits.
15
00:04:43,833 --> 00:04:45,958
Alex shows that very clearly.
16
00:05:25,250 --> 00:05:30,708
It's by far the biggest project of my career.
17
00:05:31,292 --> 00:05:34,167
The opportunity to be in a team
18
00:05:34,833 --> 00:05:40,333
with Alex Zanardi doesn't come along every day.
19
00:06:30,833 --> 00:06:33,667
Is the steering wheel spacer okay?
20
00:07:23,083 --> 00:07:25,250
You get to the track in Adria
21
00:07:25,667 --> 00:07:29,833
and they fire up
the engine for the first time.
22
00:07:30,042 --> 00:07:33,250
You think:
“Wow, we're doing this now.”
23
00:07:41,125 --> 00:07:46,583
I can't just say:
“Oh, I don't want to drive in Spa anymore.”
24
00:07:46,958 --> 00:07:50,125
There's no going back.
25
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:54,583
Not for Bruno, Alex or for me.
26
00:07:54,750 --> 00:07:57,750
And obviously, not for BMW either.
27
00:07:57,958 --> 00:08:00,792
There's only one direction, and that's Spa.
28
00:08:42,458 --> 00:08:44,833
Normally you need more time.
29
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,250
All our opponents have already
been together for half a year.
30
00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:53,917
Drivers, team, engineers.
31
00:08:54,333 --> 00:08:56,958
We're fresh, completely new.
32
00:10:08,667 --> 00:10:11,542
He does everything with his hands.
33
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,708
Accelerating, downshifting.
34
00:10:15,208 --> 00:10:21,500
The loads involved are almost
twice as high as they are for us.
35
00:11:19,708 --> 00:11:22,750
The crazy thing for me was,
36
00:11:22,958 --> 00:11:25,917
I got to Adria and he said
37
00:11:26,125 --> 00:11:31,125
he's just driven
his fastest ever lap here.
38
00:11:31,667 --> 00:11:34,125
The first thing you think is:
39
00:11:34,333 --> 00:11:40,000
“Fine, normally I should be faster
because he's the one with the handicap.”
40
00:11:40,208 --> 00:11:41,958
That's what everyone thinks.
41
00:11:42,958 --> 00:11:46,500
Do you want to drive the car like it is?
42
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,167
Yeah, I'll just drive it like this.
43
00:11:53,792 --> 00:11:56,917
I climbed into the car, drove for 10 laps
44
00:11:57,125 --> 00:11:59,750
and was 1.5 seconds slower than Alex.
45
00:12:00,125 --> 00:12:02,667
Then I thought - good grief.
46
00:12:02,875 --> 00:12:07,542
To drive those lap times,
I really have to push myself.
47
00:12:08,333 --> 00:12:11,125
I mean, right to the edge.
48
00:12:11,625 --> 00:12:15,667
He's delivering exactly the same
times as the rest of us.
49
00:12:16,417 --> 00:12:19,458
He's driving the car just as much
at the limit as we are.
50
00:13:22,417 --> 00:13:25,708
We don't see ourselves as a dream team.
51
00:13:26,292 --> 00:13:28,458
We are no pioneers, either.
52
00:13:28,667 --> 00:13:31,125
We're simply a team.
53
00:13:31,333 --> 00:13:34,250
We don't bother about what others say.
54
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:38,792
We have one aim - we want to finish
the race and be competitive.
55
00:14:06,375 --> 00:14:10,958
You shouldn't actually
be that tired after a roll-out day
56
00:14:11,208 --> 00:14:14,167
because you don't drive much.
57
00:14:14,375 --> 00:14:18,708
But there's so much going on,
so much adrenalin, so many new things.
58
00:14:19,167 --> 00:14:25,417
After a whole day of goose bumps
and butterflies, I was totally knackered.
59
00:21:26,917 --> 00:21:29,458
Perfect! Bruno's cleaning his helmet.
60
00:21:29,833 --> 00:21:31,542
Yeah, exactly!
61
00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:42,542
Spa is very, very special.
62
00:21:42,750 --> 00:21:45,875
Lots of stories have been written here.
63
00:21:55,958 --> 00:22:00,875
There are 60 cars on the grid and it's hard
to say who the main competitors are.
64
00:22:12,917 --> 00:22:15,583
I only know the track from Formula 1.
65
00:22:15,792 --> 00:22:18,542
I've never driven a GT car here before.
66
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,708
When you see the Eau Rouge
in front of you like a wall...
67
00:22:24,083 --> 00:22:28,042
You basically take off -
you're pressed into the seat.
68
00:22:28,583 --> 00:22:32,667
In the first three corners,
you've actually been through everything.
69
00:22:47,875 --> 00:22:51,750
A good-natured car is crucial for a 24 hour race.
70
00:22:51,958 --> 00:22:56,958
If you have to fight with
the car over a two hour stint
71
00:22:57,208 --> 00:23:01,417
then it's going to be a long 24 hours.
72
00:23:12,583 --> 00:23:18,208
Under braking, on turn-in,
the back end just flips out.
73
00:25:53,667 --> 00:25:58,750
After the test, we sat down as a team
and analysed the problems.
74
00:25:58,958 --> 00:26:02,542
And we knew where we had
to make the car better.
75
00:26:04,958 --> 00:26:08,708
We had a bit of preparation time, but it wasn't much.
76
00:26:08,917 --> 00:26:12,125
Some would say we aren't under much pressure
77
00:26:12,333 --> 00:26:15,542
because we're new to it.
78
00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:18,917
But we would prefer to have the pressure to win.
79
00:26:40,958 --> 00:26:44,458
Every morning when I wake up, I think to myself:
80
00:26:44,667 --> 00:26:48,583
“What can I do today to make sure
I'm better in the car next time round?”
81
00:26:49,083 --> 00:26:53,417
You can always optimise something. It's never perfect.
82
00:26:54,917 --> 00:26:57,875
You've never done enough.
83
00:26:58,167 --> 00:27:02,333
There's always more to achieve.
It's important to know that.
84
00:27:05,875 --> 00:27:12,792
Timo and I don't actually see ourselves
as driving with a handicapped driver.
85
00:27:15,083 --> 00:27:17,792
I see us as three racing drivers.
86
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,917
Alex is a very special kind of racing driver
because he's achieved so much.
87
00:27:23,125 --> 00:27:26,958
I like his spirit. I like how he thinks.
88
00:27:27,167 --> 00:27:31,000
It's interesting and there's lots to learn.
89
00:27:31,208 --> 00:27:37,333
That's one of the most important things
in motorsport and in sport in general.
90
00:27:58,583 --> 00:28:03,250
You know when you get into the car
you have to be 100 percent fit.
91
00:28:03,458 --> 00:28:06,583
You have to deliver 100 percent performance.
92
00:28:06,792 --> 00:28:09,083
That's the challenge.
93
00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:15,000
As soon as your fitness fades,
your concentration fades, too. You make mistakes.
94
00:28:15,750 --> 00:28:19,708
And as soon as you have a lap
that's half a second off the pace,
95
00:28:20,042 --> 00:28:23,750
they start getting nervous
over the radio and ask:
96
00:28:23,958 --> 00:28:26,833
“What are you doing? Is there a problem?”
97
00:28:27,208 --> 00:28:31,417
Half a second - that means
one mistake, a brief lapse of attention.
98
00:28:31,625 --> 00:28:36,625
Braking at 95 metres instead of 100 metres,
a braking error, a wheel locking up.
99
00:28:36,833 --> 00:28:40,792
We're talking about taking
decisions in fractions of a second.
100
00:28:41,833 --> 00:28:48,208
If you drive a two hour stint
at a heart rate of 140, 150 then get out
101
00:28:48,583 --> 00:28:51,750
you know what you've done.
102
00:28:54,667 --> 00:28:59,708
It's even tougher and more strenuous for Alex.
103
00:29:00,125 --> 00:29:04,458
That's why it will be a real marathon for him.
104
00:29:12,583 --> 00:29:16,208
We got to know one another better
as team mates in the DTM.
105
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:20,250
Timo is a pretty calm guy -
straight as a die.
106
00:29:20,458 --> 00:29:22,750
He always says what he thinks.
107
00:29:23,292 --> 00:29:26,625
He's honest. I find that important.
108
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,375
There are few like that in motorsport.
109
00:29:34,042 --> 00:29:36,083
Shall we go for a boat trip?
110
00:29:36,292 --> 00:29:38,417
Yeah, I'll show you what's new.
111
00:29:43,750 --> 00:29:47,208
Spending time on the boat
is total regeneration for me.
112
00:29:47,417 --> 00:29:49,292
If someone wants something,
113
00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:52,917
he either has to swim or come out with a boat.
114
00:29:53,125 --> 00:29:55,667
That doesn't happen much...
115
00:29:55,875 --> 00:30:00,875
You can switch off your
mobile phone and just drift.
116
00:30:43,833 --> 00:30:50,417
I just can't gauge it. I drove away from Spa
and had no idea where we stand.
117
00:30:51,625 --> 00:30:56,833
Me neither. In the race,
you have to get through the night.
118
00:30:57,583 --> 00:31:01,917
No problems at the start. No accidents.
119
00:31:02,125 --> 00:31:07,875
And when the night's over
you're hopefully in the top 10.
120
00:31:08,083 --> 00:31:10,250
But before - no idea.
121
00:31:10,667 --> 00:31:15,125
And when you start in the middle of the pack,
there's a high risk of an accident.
122
00:31:15,625 --> 00:31:20,625
Yeah, I wonder what the first lap will
be like with 60 cars on track.
123
00:31:21,083 --> 00:31:25,167
I think I'll leave the start to you!
124
00:31:25,958 --> 00:31:28,458
Thanks. No pressure on me, of course.
125
00:31:28,667 --> 00:31:31,542
Or we'll give it to Alex.
126
00:34:09,417 --> 00:34:13,292
The most fascinating thing
about racing is the perfect lap.
127
00:34:13,583 --> 00:34:16,875
The perfect bend. The perfect braking point.
128
00:34:17,083 --> 00:34:21,625
That's a feeling you want to have
again and again. It's like a drug.
129
00:35:19,042 --> 00:35:21,625
Somehow, it just didn't get any better.
130
00:37:18,375 --> 00:37:24,833
Our engineer asked us: “Who wants to start?”
Oddly enough, nobody said: “Me, me, me!”
131
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,958
You get into the car,
132
00:38:27,167 --> 00:38:30,750
close the door and you're in
a completely different world.
133
00:38:31,333 --> 00:38:34,542
You have the whole pressure
that comes with it.
134
00:38:34,792 --> 00:38:37,500
It's truly something special.
135
00:38:37,792 --> 00:38:44,500
You get goose bumps and adrenalin.
That's actually when I feel best.
136
00:40:18,083 --> 00:40:21,083
There was so much aquaplaning!
137
00:40:21,292 --> 00:40:26,292
Crazy... all you could manage
on the straights was 120 kph.
138
00:42:47,833 --> 00:42:51,250
I think that's an awesome time for him.
139
00:42:51,583 --> 00:42:56,708
The car is mega right now. I reckon he'll be
getting out with a big smile on his face.
140
00:43:50,833 --> 00:43:57,125
Alex is driving out there with super pace
and great consistency. It's cool to watch!
141
00:44:02,042 --> 00:44:04,417
He's having a lot of fun.
142
00:44:04,625 --> 00:44:10,042
When our engineer, Olaf, asked him
if he wanted to keep on driving,
143
00:44:10,250 --> 00:44:12,208
Alex said right away:
144
00:44:12,417 --> 00:44:17,333
“Yes, yes, yes! I want to keep driving.
I've no problems and can drive another stint.”
145
00:50:12,583 --> 00:50:17,083
The only tiny contact was
during the night. Front left.
146
00:50:19,792 --> 00:50:22,125
That was the planned pit stop.
147
00:50:22,333 --> 00:50:29,042
But unfortunately the mechanics saw
there was a problem with the front right.
148
00:50:29,250 --> 00:50:35,667
Something is broken, I don't know what.
And nobody knows why.
149
00:50:45,708 --> 00:50:50,333
We were in 8th place. So we had easily
fought our way into the top 10.
150
00:50:50,542 --> 00:50:55,417
But now we're in 19th place,
so we've easily lost ten places.
151
00:50:55,625 --> 00:51:00,500
We'll keep on fighting. Maybe top 15,
but top 10 will be difficult.
152
00:51:26,208 --> 00:51:29,292
What do we have now?
A little over 20 hours.
153
00:51:29,583 --> 00:51:32,167
My last double stint will be tough.
154
00:51:32,458 --> 00:51:36,042
Bruno's done a sterling job so far.
155
00:51:36,250 --> 00:51:40,458
Alex, well all you can do
is raise your hat to him.
156
00:51:40,917 --> 00:51:43,708
Super speed. No mistakes.
157
00:51:45,500 --> 00:51:47,958
I had two or three hair-raising moments,
158
00:51:48,167 --> 00:51:51,208
but Bruno and Alex probably did, too.
159
00:51:51,417 --> 00:51:54,125
I just held my breath.
160
00:51:54,333 --> 00:51:57,375
That happens sometimes in racing.
161
00:51:57,792 --> 00:52:03,208
Now let's see what we manage
in the last few hours with good speed.
162
00:52:04,583 --> 00:52:07,250
All the way to the end.
163
00:52:10,042 --> 00:52:13,750
You have to be ready
to jump into the car at any moment.
164
00:52:14,833 --> 00:52:16,250
One minute. Okay?
165
00:52:28,708 --> 00:52:32,625
Now the lady has to hold on
for just three more hours!
166
00:52:33,750 --> 00:52:37,250
It's cool to drive the final turn, right?
167
00:52:38,500 --> 00:52:44,375
Yes! A great honour! If we make it
into the top 10, that would be fantastic.
168
00:56:25,417 --> 00:56:28,667
23 hours. Tough!
169
00:56:30,750 --> 00:56:37,333
But even that won't get us down.
It will just make us stronger.
170
00:57:45,375 --> 00:57:48,583
This squad will definitely stay in touch.
171
00:57:48,833 --> 00:57:52,292
Maybe we'll sit this evening
over a bottle of red wine,
172
00:57:52,500 --> 00:57:56,583
or maybe two or three,
and forge our next plans.
173
00:59:49,250 --> 00:59:52,500
And off he goes! Alessandro Zanardi.
Forza Italia.
174
00:59:56,625 --> 00:59:58,708
A life at the limit!
