-Here we go again. -Here we go again.
-The training has gone well all winter. -It was a good winter. It's been diverse.
Pretty much the best shape I've been in.
Yes, I think so.
If the races go badly it won't be because of me.
Definitely not.
The hungry wolf runs faster.
Mercedes will change at the end of the year.
I need to learn German.
Obviously, you're our works driver
in Mercedes in Formula E,
but you and I will always discuss what the career opportunities are.
Yeah, I think we should have a chat, you know.
Lando and George as well.
What the fuck was that?
This is a genuine puncture.
I don't know what to say!
I'm absolutely gutted,
but I hope we get this opportunity again.
You really showed your strength.
George, I'm sorry for that. That was a brilliant, brilliant drive.
Excuse me, would I be able to get a photo?
Massive fucking fan.
Crofty, do they still employ you?
They do employ me. Do they still employ you?
Are you team boss or just fixing broken wings?
Are you a TV commentator or a fucking ball-breaker?
15 seconds.
No grip at all.
George, these tire temps are good.
Need to make these last for another ten laps or so.
Yeah.
Come on, Valtteri!
Pace is good, George. Pace is good.
You've got good speed on him.
Currently losing time behind Stroll.
Let me know on Bottas.
Bottas ahead. You are faster than Bottas.
We're racing Russell.
Russell half a second behind.
DRS enabled.
Good job you're in one piece, huh?
-He's okay. -Did he tell you why?
I've spoken to them. We went outside and had a chat.
Came back in and said, "Stop attacking each other."
Push yourself up from there.
Two more still.
Give the last one your all.
Good.
That's enough squatting.
Throw it back firmly.
One more.
Let's see how the season will go.
If there are crashes,
you just gotta reset.
Yeah.
You can't lose any energy to the fact that you mess up or anything.
It can get to you for a little while.
It's always the same thing.
To get through those moments and take it one race at a time.
And stay levelheaded. I need to make sure I don't screw up.
What's the biggest target for the races?
The fact that when we get to the end of the season,
I want to be able to look in the mirror and say I gave my everything.
-You want a signature? -Yeah, on my cheek.
You're holding up everybody. I cannot even park.
Yeah. That's next year, isn't it?
Good luck for the weekend, and you should be a Mercedes driver.
Thought you'd remember this beautiful face.
Yeah, of course I do. It's a pity you don't smile more.
-Are you ready for today? -Yes.
What's gonna be the plan?
One stop.
Fuck them all.
-Hi, Toto. -Hi.
It's about Valtteri. Can you talk briefly?
The only way to win this drivers' championship
and this championship together
is by applying team orders in a strict way.
"If you're ahead of Lewis, we can safely invert the cars."
It's likely that if we can safely do team orders, we will do.
And it's very harsh and it's very straightforward.
And he'll be frustrated and upset. I know that.
Radio check.
Loud and clear.
Valtteri, fastest man on track.
Half a second quicker than the leaders and Norris behind.
Ten-second penalty, so we'll serve that.
Valtteri, so race situation, you are P2.
You are fastest man on track, Lewis.
It's getting harder to follow Valtteri.
Can't get close enough.
Get Valtteri, out of the way. Get out the way.
Okay, Valtteri.
We invert the cars into turn 15 this lap.
Do not fight with Lewis.
Valtteri?
Copy.
Thank you, Valtteri.
Valtteri, it's James. Well done. Thank you for that.
You are the reason why we won. Thank you. Great job.
Well done, guys, good job.
That it?
Yeah, that's it. That's it. P12.
How does that feel?
It's not the first time, but the season I've had so far,
obviously, I'm pretty much out of the title fight,
so we play as a team.
Hey, Jost.
All good?
-Yeah, all good. -Good.
How was your break?
I was in Mexico.
It's always summer in Mexico.
-Need to get the thermals out. -No, the race is gonna be dry. Please!
Who's starting?
Careful. Rejoin safely.
So some aquaplaning reported around turn eight.
I just nearly lost it on the straight.
We need a tidy lap.
Spray makes a big difference in perception.
-Come on, Valtteri, bring it. -I'm trying!
We finished P8.
Fucking hell!
The rain is falling harder and harder.
I think the track's gonna get worse.
Happy to go for slow then fast after?
Red flag. Red flag. Red flag.
Copy, copy, copy. Norris has shunted.
Is he all right?
Yeah, Norris is okay.
I think we need to get the lap in and see what happens.
George Russell.
-P2. -Yes, guys!
That's a stonking lap.
You've out-qualified Mr. Hamilton.
Fucking hell, that was hard.
Amazing, guys, amazing. Well done, everybody.
Quite impressive in a Williams, isn't it.
Well done, George.
That's fantastic, George. You were outstanding.
Thanks so much.
Finally you've come.
All good?
-We do this? -Yeah.
Welcome.
Let's have dinner.
