[cell phone rings]
- [Geri] Hi. - [Horner] Hey, darling, how are you doing?
[Geri] I'm good, thank you.
Just to prewarn you...
[producer] Hi, Geri.
- [Geri] Who's that? I didn't see. - Netflix.
[Geri] Hi, Netflix!
[laughs]
[jaunty music plays]
So, uh, camera rolling.
I just need you to stand on this spot here.
I've just got a few lines for you.
I look ahead?
Just straight down this camera.
[music stops]
- [Horner] So what is this? - [Smith] This is for the Sphere in Vegas.
[upbeat music plays]
It'll look like you're towering over the circuit.
You are literally the biggest thing in Vegas.
Right.
[director] Action.
On the greatest stage on Earth.
A fight the city has never seen.
"Mistakes could not be more costly."
Mistakes could be not more costly.
[music stops]
"Could not be more costly." Okay.
Mistakes could be...
Uh...
- Beneath the dazzle of neon lights... - The stakes could not be higher.
It's a dangerous game of control.
Here, endings are yet to be written.
The world is watching.
[commentator 1] And away we go!
The wildest season in F1 history.
[reporter 1] Huge breaking news.
[reporter 2] Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari for the 2025 season.
Surprise after surprise.
[tense music plays]
The higher you rise, the sharper the knives.
[Pérez] Fuck.
[reporter 2] Daniel Ricciardo has been dropped by the RB team.
- Can't stop smiling. - [Williams] No one saw that coming.
[Ricciardo] Arrivederci.
[reporter 2] And let's not forget the unlikely return of Flavio Briatore.
[Buxton] Now just four races left to decide it all.
You've got Lando versus Max for the Drivers' Championship.
[commentator 2] These two friends turned rivals.
[Norris] Woo!
- It is on a knife's edge. - [commentator 2] Oh, they've made contact!
- [Norris] Jesus! - [Verstappen] Nice. Oh my God.
For the first time in years,
we have a genuine three-horse race for the Constructors' Championship,
and Red Bull on the verge of losing it all.
[Verstappen] I'm not holding this.
[commentator 3] Right rear is on fire.
[Horner] If we keep going like this, we're fucked.
The conclusion of the season is going to be box office.
[Stroll] That's heavy wet.
- I fucking said it! - [Norris] I can't see.
[Russell] Fucking hell. I'm floating on these straights.
[wheel gun whirring]
[engine revs]
[indistinct announcement]
[upbeat music plays]
Wow. He looks nice.
Who's down here? With the white headband?
[Geri] Yeah, he's cute.
[Horner] He's fast, huh?
[basketball commentator] And the Suns win in overtime.
[Geri] That is so much fun.
Don't you think it's nice to watch a match when you're not invested in either side?
[man] You just enjoy it.
You don't get stressed watching Red Bull, do you?
- Yeah. A little bit. - [laughter]
Especially this season.
[Geri] Yeah.
[Horner] So look, it's been a very difficult season.
Our standards are incredibly high.
When you gauge it against last year, of course it's disappointing.
How are you feeling?
We've had a season of two halves. First half was very strong.
We had a difficult period at the beginning of the second half.
- We're starting to come out of it. - Tough season.
Yeah.
Constructors' Championship will be incredibly difficult to defend,
but we're determined not to give up on it.
The Drivers' Championship as well is... is under pressure.
[Buxton] Christian could find himself in a very difficult situation
as regards his future
if he doesn't somehow manage to bring home at least one of those championships.
You know, there's always pressure, being, uh... being applied.
You just got to keep... keep like that.
This is the most exposed that we've been.
You know, we're not gonna give this championship away
without a hell of a fight.
[tense music plays]
Wait.
You see way too much
stuff which is from my ex.
As a kid, I would dream of being a Drivers' World Champion.
[tense music continues]
The car's quicker than it ever has been now, so
now's our chance.
[music fades]
I'm in a good rhythm, and I feel like I'm on my top form.
But I'm fighting Max, fighting...
the best driver
probably ever in Formula 1.
I don't know why, I always sweat when I pack.
Stressful.
I believe I've got what it takes to beat Max.
The battle's on.
[upbeat music plays]
[commentator in Portuguese] Welcome to the 21st stage of the 2024 season.
[in English] Look serious. You're on Netflix.
[Lawson] Such an idiot.
[Norris] There's a lot of Landinhos here.
[in Portuguese] Good morning.
[crowd cheering]
[music fades]
[fan in English] Quick picture, Norris?
Norris? My name's George Russell, not Lando Norris.
[fan laughs] I'm sorry!
[Russell] Clearly a big F1 fan, that guy.
[host] A very warm welcome, everybody, to the drivers' press conference.
[Buxton] The tide has turned against Red Bull.
This could be a weekend
that really turns the title
in Lando's favor.
[host] Max, why don't we start?
After the race on Sunday in Mexico, what about the wheel-to-wheel racing?
Are you gonna change the way you go racing this weekend?
It's my tenth year in Formula 1, I'm a three-time world champion.
I think I know what I'm doing.
[fan] Go, Lando. You will be the champion!
[Buxton] There is a large points gap,
but with the momentum that that team is on right now,
Lando needs a knockout punch.
He has to take pole.
[tense music plays]
[commentator 4] Ready for qualifying, ladies and gentlemen, in São Paulo.
[Stallard] Oscar, radio check.
- [Piastri] Yep. - [Stallard] Session starts in two minutes.
[Piastri] It's pissing down.
[commentator 1] Who knows what's gonna happen in these conditions?
[Russell] Fucking hell. I'm floating on these straights.
I'm like a boat.
[commentator 1] Drivers have gotta try and find a balance
between pushing as hard as they can and staying on the track itself.
[Jego] Are you okay?
[Colapinto] Fucked.
[groaning]
[tense music plays]
[Alonso] Locked up on turn one. Shall I keep pushing?
[Cronin] Yeah, this is our gap now, Fernando.
[Alonso] Yeah, I cannot see anything. Any suggestions?
[music stops]
Fuck, man. Terrible, terrible conditions.
[commentator 2] Away goes Lando Norris.
In terms of his Championship bid, this is a very crucial lap.
- [Joseph] Thoughts on the track? - [Norris] Yeah, a bit of aquaplaning.
[Joseph] Understood. Just remember your braking points.
[Norris] Copy.
[Joseph] Lando, we think the best conditions
should be within these five minutes.
Time for a push lap.
[commentator 4] Here we go, then.
[tense music plays]
[Joseph] Lando, if you can keep this pace up, it's mega.
[commentator 5] Norris is absolutely flying.
[commentator 1] Lando Norris crosses the line,
singing in the rain.
[commentator 4] Lando Norris is fastest.
[Joseph] Quickest at the moment. I'll keep you updated.
[Norris sighs]
[commentator 1] But can anyone stop him from here?
[tense music plays]
[Lambiase] Really focus, Max. We need a lap on the board.
[Verstappen] Whoa, whoa.
- What do we do here? - [Lambiase] Keep pushing.
[commentator 2] Through the middle sector, Max Verstappen about to go quickest.
[tense music continues]
Lance Stroll is the car ahead of Max Verstappen.
[Verstappen] Ah, there's a crash. Fuck.
[Stroll] It's insane how bad the grip is.
[Lambiase] Red flag, Max, red flag.
[commentator 2] The session has been immediately stopped.
This is now unraveling for Red Bull.
[commentator 2] That is not enough time to restart the session.
Max Verstappen out of qualifying.
[music fades]
[Verstappen] What position are we?
[Lambiase] Seventeen.
[Verstappen] Fucking hell.
[Horner] Max was by far the fastest car on the circuit.
This is for sure
damage limitation.
If we're scoring points from 17th,
that would be a... be a great recovery.
Let's see how the race goes.
He needs to have a rocket-ship start.
[Joseph] Okay, Lando, we start on pole.
[Norris laughs]
[Buxton] This is an absolute gift for Lando.
[Norris] Fucking beautiful.
[Buxton] Your championship rival
starting so far back that he won't even be able to see him in his mirrors.
[tense music plays]
[commentator 4] It's time for the next chapter
of this relentless World Championship run.
We're ready to race in São Paulo.
[Horner] Honestly, it's a... It's a joke.
But let's see how this goes.
[music fades]
Well done.
Thanks.
[Albon] You're gonna have a nice race. Got a bit of a gap now.
[Zhou] Max is starting right in front of me.
Yeah.
Take him out.
- Is he next to you? - No.
Remember, turn one, lap one. That's your chance.
[Albon] Be a hero.
There's more in being a hero than being zero.
Yeah.
Good or bad, they'll remember you.
Told him they should give him the trophy already now.
- They've already got his name engraved. - Yeah.
[Buxton] Lando has a gilt-edged opportunity
to take a massive chunk out of Max.
Come on, dude.
Win the race, fastest lap, 26 points.
[tense music plays]
But you can't ever count Max Verstappen out.
[producer] Some people have questioned your mentality to be a world champion.
[Norris] Uh, I don't care what, uh, people say.
It's all opinions,
and in my opinion, I believe I've got what it takes.
[Joseph] Lando, latest weather update is rain expected in 15 minutes.
[Norris] Yep.
[tense music continues]
[breathes heavily]
[commentator 1] Brilliant start by Verstappen, clears the Haas.
[tense music continues]
George Russell takes the lead of the race from Lando Norris.
[Norris] Shit.
[commentator 2] Max Verstappen passes the Williams, then the Sauber.
Max Verstappen in 11th.
- [Verstappen] Yes! - [Lambiase] Good job, Max.
[tense music continues]
[commentator 2] And Sergio Pérez spinning!
That won't help Red Bull's fight for the Constructors'.
[Norris] Where's Max?
[Joseph] Lando, do not worry about him. Full concentration now.
[tense music plays]
[Lambiase] Hamilton at 0.5.
Good job, Max.
Come on!
How the fuck is he up there? Max is, like, fucking P10 already.
[commentator 2] Verstappen started 17th on the grid.
He's made up seven places by the first corner on lap two.
Norris closing down the gap to Russell.
- [Norris] What's my times against Max? - [Joseph] Lando, focus on the car ahead.
[tense music continues]
[Lambiase] Gasly at 0.3.
You are P9 now, mate.
[music stops]
[commentator 1] He is the fastest man on the track, Max Verstappen.
[tense music plays]
- [Norris] Max? - [Joseph] It doesn't matter about Max.
[Norris] Okay. Are you sure?
[commentator 4] Max Verstappen flying.
- [Lambiase] Fernando next. - [Verstappen] Yep.
[music stops]
For fuck's sake.
[commentator 2] Max Verstappen hunting down Oscar Piastri,
and looking to take seventh place.
The longer Piastri can keep Verstappen behind him,
the better it is for Lando Norris
and his chances in the Drivers' Championship.
[Stallard] Oscar, Verstappen is now the car behind, two and a half.
We need to keep him behind.
[Piastri] Copy.
[Verstappen] Very hard to follow close.
[Lambiase] Understood. Bide your time.
Go on, Oscar.
[exciting music plays]
[Lambiase] Keep your head down. Keep focused. Can overtake here, Max.
[Verstappen] Yep.
[music stops]
[commentator 2] Max Verstappen into seventh!
- Yeah! - Come on!
[Lambiase] Nice job, mate.
[Joseph] And, Lando, Max P7.
- [Norris] Fucking joking me. - [Joseph] Tell me about it.
[commentator 2] Verstappen is now hunting Lando Norris.
[music fades]
[commentator 2] The rain is really coming down,
and still 36 laps remain.
[Horner] In the rain, first of all, you've got to survive
and then you've got to try and put pressure on them.
[Verstappen] Does it keep raining or not? 'Cause now it's extreme.
[Horner] Like in any sport,
all the great champions step up at the big points
and they have a mental resilience and toughness.
[Lambiase] We have this rain for another four minutes, Max.
[Verstappen] If it's only four minutes, I'll stay out.
[Lambiase] Copy that, Max.
[tense music plays]
[Norris] This needs to stop. I can't see fuck all, man.
It's too dangerous.
I think box?
[Joseph] For what reason?
[Norris] It's just starting to rain a lot. I don't know.
[tense music continues]
I'm gonna fucking die.
[commentator 1] Lando Norris comes into the pits.
- [Lambiase] Max, Lando has pitted. - This is good.
[commentator 4] So Max Verstappen has to try and take this opportunity.
Go on.
[Joseph] So, Lando, Verstappen has stayed out.
[Norris] Shit.
[commentator 2] Max Verstappen moves into second ahead of Lando Norris.
[cheering]
Looks like Norris made the wrong call.
[Lambiase] Okay, Max, gap, 2.9 to Ocon.
[Verstappen] Yeah, I got it under control.
[commentator 2] Esteban Ocon leads the São Paulo Grand Prix.
[tense music plays]
[commentator 2] Verstappen takes the lead.
- [man 1] Yes! - [man 2] Get in!
[tense music continues]
[Joseph] So, Lando, leading the race is Verstappen.
- [Norris] Ah, I fucking knew it. - [Joseph] Keep going for now, please.
Keep going for now.
[commentator 2] Lando Norris off the road,
down into seventh place.
- [Norris] Ah, bollocks. - [Joseph] Just keep it on track, mate.
[commentator 1] His championship challenge faltering
in the Drivers' Championship here this afternoon.
[melancholy music plays]
[Joseph] And you will start the last lap.
[commentator 1] Max Verstappen wins the São Paulo Grand Prix!
[cheering]
[man] Yeah, come on!
Woo-hoo! Yes!
[Verstappen laughs]
What an unbelievable race, guys.
You know what that is? Simply lovely.
[Horner] Max, that was amazing. Seventeenth to first.
That was a world champion's drive.
You were absolutely a class of your own today.
Enjoy this. Well done, mate.
That was a demonstration, huh?
[Buxton] And that was one of the greatest drives you'll ever see.
It was phenomenal.
[Verstappen] Never give up.
[laughs]
Unbelievable.
[commentator 2] Across the line, Norris is in sixth.
On a day where some drivers were saying
the conditions were so bad that you shouldn't even be racing,
Max didn't make a single mistake.
[commentator 2] Barring a miracle, Lando's chase for the championship is over.
[cheering]
Fair play.
Brazil, the drive that made the champion.
[Norris groans]
- [producer] What a week. - [Norris] Mm-hmm.
[exhales]
[producer] How are you feeling?
I was... I was pretty bad.
I didn't sleep.
Twenty-six hours I went straight.
[woman] Was that just the jet lag?
No, that was just me being...
Still in my head... My head, I was like... [groans]
Oh yeah.
It's fucked. [chuckles]
Yeah.
That was our chance.
Um...
Now it's game over.
So...
[engines whine]
[commentator 1] Max Verstappen has hit the jackpot in Vegas tonight.
A four-time champion of the world.
[air horn blares]
[Horner] That is four in a row, Max.
That is a phenomenal, phenomenal achievement.
[Verstappen chuckles]
Oh my God, four times.
Thank you. Thank you, guys.
Take it all in, mate. You deserve it. You join a very elite club now.
[Verstappen] Yeah, it's not a bad group to be in.
Also, guys, I'm quite thirsty. How about you?
[air horn blares]
[man] Come on!
[commentator 1] Golden sign for Max Verstappen,
who can add another golden star, uh, to his crash helmet.
[Horner] Hey, darling.
[Geri] You got it done. Congratulations!
[Horner] Thank you very much, sweetheart. Number four.
[Geri] Brilliant.
- Love you. - I love you. All right.
Love you. Bye.
[Horner] Bye. Bye, bye.
Right.
- Well done. I am so proud of you. - [Verstappen] Unbelievable.
[Horner] You deserve it. You deserve it, mate.
Look, it's a relief for Christian that Max has won the title.
[Horner] Don't fucking drop him.
[Buxton] But the team themselves have lost their grip on the Constructors' title.
Only Max and Max's incredible driving kept the Drivers' Championship.
Well done, mate. Damn bastard.
Well done. Next year, I'll get you, all right?
[Verstappen] Hey. I told you. I told you already many times.
There will be a day anyway.
[Norris] I know.
- Celebrate. - [Verstappen] Yeah.
- Let me know where. I'll join. - [Verstappen] Will do.
[Verstappen chuckles]
It's an emotional sport. It's a competitive sport.
We want to do well. When we don't do well, of course it bothers you.
[man] Lando!
But you can't rewind what happened. You can learn from what happened
and just give them a little bit of time to recover.
[dramatic music plays]
[fan] Can I have a picture, please?
Thank you!
[Buxton] Zak now has to dust his driver down
and send him back out to fight.
[dramatic music continues]
He's got a Constructors' World Championship to win.
[energetic rock music plays]
[music fades]
[Brown] How's the team feeling?
Everyone's in good spirits.
- [Brown] Yeah? - Yeah.
Excited?
- Yeah. - [Brown] Nervous?
- No one wants to admit they're nervous. - [Todd] No.
The Constructors' Championship is the biggest prize in sport.
The prize fund pot in Formula 1 is about $130 million,
and this is awarded to the team
whose two drivers bring home the most points in one season.
[Todd] You wouldn't have thought this time last year
we'd be in this position.
No, definitely not.
It's not over till the checkered flag drops.
Not over till it's over.
Ferrari will be fast.
McLaren are looking pretty good going into this Grand Prix,
but you know it is not going to be easy going up against Ferrari.
[orchestral music plays]
[fan] Carlos!
Oh, yeah, I'll... I'll do the whole table.
[woman] Hello.
[orchestral music continues]
Ferrari is more than just legacy and history.
[producer] You can see yourself there now.
[music fades]
[Buxton] It's a universal symbol of sporting success and passion.
[dramatic orchestral music plays]
Every driver dreams that one day they'll race for Ferrari.
While everyone's been focused on Lando versus Max
for the Drivers' Championship...
[music stops]
...Ferrari have been racking up the points in the Constructors'.
[commentator 1] Charles Leclerc wins the Italian Grand Prix!
[Bozzi in Italian] You make me dream!
[Leclerc] You are great, guys!
[Vasseur in French] This year, we've scored 50% more points.
We have three or four times more podiums.
[commentator 1 in English] Leclerc wins! Carlos Sainz comes home for second place.
- [Vasseur] Good job, Carlos. - [Sainz] Thank you, Fred.
[in French] So we are focusing on ourselves,
not changing our attitude or our approach and the job.
[commentator 1 in English] Ferrari win for the second time in a week.
This has been a big swing in the Constructors' Championship today.
[commentator 4] Ferrari overtake Red Bull for second.
[Sainz] Forza Ferrari.
[in Spanish] Thank you, Mexico.
[in English] Now Ferrari are hunting down McLaren
and could easily pass them in the final race of the year.
[producer in French] If you win, you will...
We're going to party.
[laughs]
[commentator 1 in English] Right then, let's Abu Dhabi do this shall we?
Round 24, ladies and gentlemen,
in this, the longest season in the history of the Formula 1 World Championship.
Can you try and summarize the entire season in one word?
[Piastri] Chaos.
Last walk-in of the year.
I am a little bit hot.
Fashion first, apparently.
[commentator 2] The end of the Hamilton/Mercedes era
and Sainz signs off from Ferrari.
Well, we go into this race
with teams battling in the Constructors' Championship
up and down the grid.
- [in Italian] All good? - All good. You?
[in English] What you've done in the last race was masterpiece driving, honestly.
I never believed you were able to do stuff like that.
[Gasly laughs]
I thought you were a fucking wanker.
[laughs]
No, it's true. I promise you. It's true.
How about we keep the six, then, and we have a nice Christmas party?
- [Briatore] If not, I tell you. - [laughs]
- All right, see you later. Ciao. - [Briatore] Don't worry.
We arrive in P6, we are up to P6,
and we need to keep this place.
And we fighting with Haas.
[tense music plays]
To be top team, you need the right people in the right place.
Not quantity. Is the quality.
And now we have the quality.
Jack Doohan is our driver for 2025,
and we start one race early.
It's just so simple. Obviously, I want to do a good job.
What is important is finishing the race. No crash.
[tense music plays]
[music stops]
[Wolff] Lewis leaving from the team is a gigantic hole that's gonna be left.
At the beginning of the season, maybe we thought that's gonna be a bumpy ride,
but we've worked so strong and hard together
to make it most enjoyable, to celebrate.
- [man 1] Go on, Lewis! - [man 2] Come on, Lewis!
[man 3] Come on, Lewis!
[Norris] Ay-ay-ay.
So, how do you think it will be?
It's gonna be tight.
- You were quick yesterday, so... - [Leclerc] I think you were quick.
- I don't know. - You were coasting.
[Norris] No, I... I was like--
I love it.
[tense music plays]
[in French] I'm under pressure because, when you're Ferrari,
you want to win races, you want to win championships.
You have to do well.
[producer] Do you have a message for Zak before Sunday's race?
Don't go too fast.
[chuckles]
[in English] Anything can happen.
Yeah, I think the only guys who have, like, a wildcard
is if Max wanted to do something stupid maybe.
- Just don't take us out. - [Montoya] Yes.
[tense music continues]
I don't think you can win championships
if you buckle under pressure, so you definitely feel it.
Well, here we are.
Here we are.
Another day at the office.
- Is that what you're telling yourself? - Totally.
I can't fucking take it anymore.
[Piastri laughs]
Just put me out of my fucking misery.
[both laugh]
I'll try my best.
[tense music continues]
[Joseph] Okay, Lando, radio check out of the pit lane.
[Norris] Yeah, loud and clear.
We weren't fighting for a championship for the first half of the year,
and then all of a sudden, there's the expectation.
That is pressure. I have to perform.
I can't afford to make a mistake.
[commentator 4] Here at the Yas Marina circuit,
the circuit that's hosted more season finales
than any other track in Formula 1 history,
McLaren just need one of their drivers to finish ahead of both Ferraris.
[Sainz] I think nothing would make me more proud and happier
than leaving Ferrari having clinched the World Championship.
We need to secure that sixth place in the Championship
because we're talking 10 mil, uh, roughly,
and that's something we need as a team.
There's this sense of responsibility, of wanting to bring Ferrari to the top.
[tense music continues]
[Norris] I've been with McLaren for six years.
They've become my... my family, my home.
So to win the Constructors',
that's something that means more than anything.
[tense music continues]
[commentator 1] For one more time in 2024...
[music stops]
...it's lights out and away we go!
[exciting music plays]
McLaren under pressure from Verstappen!
-Contact between Piastri and Verstappen! - No!
[man] Fucking Max!
[Verstappen] I mean, that was just super unlucky.
[Piastri] Move of a world champion, that one.
[commentator 5] Absolutely the last thing that McLaren needed there.
[Joseph] Okay, Lando, just focus ahead. Don't worry about Oscar.
- Sainz is 1.8 behind. - [Norris] Confirm.
[Bozzi] Come on, Charles!
[commentator 2] What a start from Leclerc. Up to 12th from 19th.
And he isn't done yet.
But Sergio Pérez is now spun around.
[Pérez] Ah, I lost drive.
I lost drive.
[commentator 2] Pérez retires to confirm Red Bull third in the Constructors'.
[Bozzi] Charles, well done. We are P8.
- [Leclerc] Woo-hoo-hoo! - [Bozzi] What a first lap.
Vamos!
[Bozzi] So current positions, Norris P1, Sainz P2.
Where's Piastri?
[Bozzi] P19.
[commentator 1] This is not gonna do the McLaren nerves any good whatsoever.
[Peckett] Okay, Jack, Pierre behind. Let him through cleanly please.
[Doohan] Copy.
[commentator 2] Alpine need Gasly to stay ahead of the two Haas cars
in that sixth-place battle in the Championship.
[Peckett] So our job next is to keep Hülkenberg behind us.
[Doohan] Copy.
[tense music plays]
[Gannon] How's the balance, Nico?
[Hülkenberg] Getting worse.
[Peckett] You're doing a good job so far. Let's keep this up.
Stick with it.
[Gannon] Okay, Nico, push.
[tense music continues]
Good job, Nico.
Yes, come on!
Gasly 3.3 ahead.
[Hülkenberg] Copy.
[Adami] Carlos, completing lap 21.
Lap times are very good, closing on Lando. Good job.
[Sainz] Yeah, let's keep going. Happy.
[tense music plays]
[commentator 2] Ferrari, they run second and fourth,
but as long as McLaren are out in front, Ferrari won't win this championship.
[tense music continues]
[Joseph] Gap to Sainz, 3.2. How are the tires?
[Norris] Yeah, I mean, he's quicker now.
I'm struggling a little bit.
[Joseph] Understood.
[Adami] Lando's struggling.
And box, Carlos, box.
[music stops]
[commentator 2] Ferrari pit Sainz first.
[Joseph] Carlos has pitted, so we will box this lap.
[tense music plays]
[Sainz] Lando, what's he doing?
- [Adami] He's boxing. - [Sainz] Give it everything, yeah?
[commentator 2] Can Sainz use this opportunity to get ahead of Lando?
[Adami] Keep pushing.
[Joseph] Sainz is approaching turn one now.
[tense music continues]
[music stops]
[commentator 4] Lando Norris ahead of Carlos Sainz.
[Bozzi] Gasly, 0.9 ahead.
Well done.
[commentator 1] What a race Charles Leclerc has given!
From 19th on the grid as well.
[Leclerc] Like this we lose the Constructors' or not?
[Bozzi] Like this, yes.
But it's not finished.
Let's get back into the rhythm.
[Leclerc] I don't know what you call the rhythm, but
this is the rhythm.
[commentator 1] Ferrari two and three, but McLaren are leading.
[tense music plays]
[Slade] Okay, Kev, let's push on this lap.
Close to Bottas.
Mode push, mode push.
[commentator 4] As it stands, Alpine are holding onto sixth
in the Constructors' over Haas.
Here comes Kevin Magnussen.
[woman yells]
[Magnussen] Fuck!
[commentator 4] Such a shame for Haas and Kevin Magnussen.
Could that cost them a shot at sixth place?
[Magnussen] Ah, isn't that just fucking great?
[commentator 2] Hamilton, in his final race for Mercedes,
is chasing down his teammate.
[Bonno] So the gap to George is at 1.6 seconds.
[tense music plays]
Gap ahead, 1.2.
[Wolff] George, stating the obvious, keep it super clean with Lewis.
[Bonno] Overtake is available.
It's hammer time.
[tense music continues]
[crowd cheering]
- [Bonno] Nice work, Lewis. - [Hamilton] That was fun.
[Joseph] So, Lando, how are these tires?
[Norris] Like, I can push through.
[tense music plays]
Hanging in there?
[commentator 1] Any problem with Lando Norris here,
and this is gonna be advantage Ferrari in the Constructors' Championship.
[Joseph] Lando, three laps to go.
Let's go.
[Adami] Three to go. Three to go. Keep pushing.
[tense music plays]
[heavy breathing]
[Adami] Keep pushing.
[tense music continues]
[commentator 4] This is the moment that McLaren dreamed of.
[tense music continues]
[music stops]
Lando Norris wins!
[Norris] Woo-hoo-hoo!
[commentator 4] McLaren are World Champions!
[Joseph] We did it, mate. We did it.
World Champions.
[Norris] Papaya on top!
[dramatic music plays]
Unbelievable! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah!
[Stallard] Oscar, we're World Champions!
[Piastri] Massive. Massively deserved.
Couldn't be prouder. What a year it's been.
Thank you very much.
[man] We've got us a place!
[music stops]
[Brown] Lando, we love you.
Thank you for an awesome year.
That was simply lovely.
[Brown laughs]
Zak's just fucking annoying.
[Norris] I love you too, Zak.
[laughs]
[Adami] Good job, Carlos.
[Sainz] Yeah, good job, guys. We tried our best.
It's been a pleasure driving for you guys. Forza Ferrari!
[Howard] That's P6 for us, mate.
Great job.
[man] Yes, boys.
Yes!
[Gasly] P6 in the Constructors'?
Beautiful.
[Slade] Kev, I'm really sorry we didn't get the result we wanted or deserved.
It's been a pleasure. Thank you for everything you've done for us.
[Magnussen] Thanks, guys.
[Bonno] Okay, Lewis, show us... Show us what you're made of.
And that's the end of an era.
Gotta say, mate, it's been epic working with you.
[Hamilton] I love you guys. I really, really do.
[Wolff] We love you, too, and you're always gonna be part of that family.
[commentator 1] Great to see both crews out in the pit lane saying well done.
[Norris] Incredible year.
What a turnaround, everyone back in the factory.
Next year's going to be my year too. Thank you so much, everyone.
[Williams] The last time that McLaren won a Constructors' Championship,
neither Lando or Oscar were even born.
[Buxton] McLaren are every bit the deserving World Champions.
The job that Zak has done in turning around their fortunes
is nothing short of extraordinary.
[cheering]
Come on!
[Buxton] To go from the slowest in the field at the start of 2023
to World Champions at the end of 2024
is a story for the ages.
- [Horner] Very well done. - You too.
[Horner] Good job.
- Well done. - Thank you.
[Horner] Where's Zak?
- That was the worst two hours of my life. - [Vasseur] I can imagine.
- Awesome. - [Vasseur] Enjoy one year.
Exactly. Enjoy it while I can!
[laughter]
[in French] When you win, you deserve it. I have enormous respect for McLaren.
- [Brown] Mwah! - [laughter]
We have to tell ourselves that we've made huge improvement compared to last year.
We are preparing for the future.
[Buxton in English] Ferrari, third in the Constructors' in '23,
second in the Constructors' in '24,
and with Lewis Hamilton coming to the team for 2025,
it's going to be thrilling to see what they achieve together.
I think nothing would have made me more proud and happier
than leaving Ferrari having clinched the World Championship.
Very disappointed, very frustrated, and, uh, sad, very sad.
You guys have now seen me emotional,
so with that and with the video,
I think it's the perfect way to close this chapter.
And thank you so much, Fred. Thank you to all the team.
[applause]
[Horner] I'm gonna go and see Zak.
- Yeah. - Yeah, go and say well done. Yeah.
- Shake hands, right? Good sportsman. - [Horner] Absolutely. Absolutely.
Zak!
- Very well done. - Thank you.
- Very well done. - That wasn't easy.
Sorry for getting your blood pressure going.
Makes me work a little harder.
- [Horner] Enjoy. - Thank you very much.
- Very well done. - Cheers.
Well done. You made so many people happy. It's amazing.
[man] You've done it!
Hello. Oh my God!
[Buxton] Lando failed to win the Drivers' Championship,
but he has now taken McLaren to the Constructors' World Championship.
That's redemption.
- [producer] How are you feeling? - [Norris] Very good.
[chuckles]
[all] Two, one!
[cheering]
[triumphant music plays]
[music fades]
[Norris] I think this year's definitely... It's made me a better driver.
I understand more things, let's say,
on how to race.
[producer] Do you think you can win the Drivers' Championship next year?
I believe I've got what it takes, so, um, I'm excited for next year.
[gentle music plays]
Good.
[music fades]
I give it one go, then we see how it is?
[man] Yeah, exactly.
Hi, Lewis. I'm on the go, so I thought it's better to leave you a voice note.
Now is the moment we all knew was coming. We've raced our final lap.
[emotional music plays]
The longest and most successful partnership
in Formula 1 history has come to an end.
We conquered our sport, and changed it too.
Soon you will start a new chapter with Ferrari.
In 2025,
people are gonna come...
- [producer] I'll give you the monitor. - Oh, nice.
Never liked that word "reserve" anyway.
[Wolff] ...people will go.
[producer] Final interview.
Final one. Thank f...
No, I can't say that.
It's, uh... It's been a... a privilege.
- Maybe some things aren't meant to be. - It's been a ride.
[Wolff] So just remember the most important thing.
Always find your people.
So next year, I'll be driving for...
What is the whole name?
[woman] Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 team.
Okay.
[Wolff] The ones who dream with you.
Who fight with you.
[commentator 2] And there's contact!
[Wolff] The ones who have your back and your ear,
who never stop believing,
even when you do.
This will be my best season ever in Formula 1.
[Wolff] And remember, whatever the future holds,
every dream needs a team.
[music stops]
So take care, my friend.
See you on the track.
[commentator 4] Formula 1 in 2025 begins
when the five red lights go out.
- Does it make you cry? - [man] No.
