Alonso's Kiss And The Best Team Radio | 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix | Paramount+

As a bin bag comes across and Leclerc almost put himself in the wall avoiding that one. The track is like Mario Kart, there's like plastic bags everywhere. Oh, that's worth a complaint for Logan Sargent. Babe, come on, it's too dangerous. Yeah and he's right, he's coming through a blind corner there with a raised kerb that you don't really want to be clashing over but he had to to take avoiding action. Yeah, but Hamilton being there is super dangerous. Like he was in the middle, I couldn't get out of the way. I didn't realise someone's on a lap, I was trying to get out of the way of the signs and then all of a sudden there was a Williams there. Huge opportunity for Oliver Bearman. Take your time into the car, take your rhythm, build up from there. A nice radio message to hear. Let's file that under non-ideal car placement for the Aston Martin in the way of the Alpine. What is this guy? I don't understand what the Aston Martin was doing. Oh, he's lost it into the barriers. Joe Guan Yu. Sorry mate, I lost the car. Yeah, sorry, I don't know what happened. Otherwise I'm okay. This is on board with George Russell who was joined by a Haas. He knew it was going to be something like that for George. We're on board with Nico Hülkenberg here, getting blocked by the Williams. Yeah, not happy about this. A valiant effort from Sauber to repair Joe Guan Yu's car, but they just ran out of time. Good that he came on the radio and thanked them for their efforts. I've lost the power, I've lost the power, something's wrong. Hülkenberg looks like he'll play no further part. He's at the side of the road. Having reported that problem, it's brought him to a halt. Okay, we need to switch off the car. Switch off the engine, Nico, switch off. Behrmann trying to eliminate Lewis Hamilton. And he misses out by three hundredths of a second across the line. That was a great effort. Ferrari know it. That was a good lap. Good last sector. That was a tough one. I mean, it was super difficult. It's the same story at the front of the field once again. Max Verstappen takes his 34th pole position in Formula 1. And in truth, he's taken it at a canter. So yeah, nice shot, mate. That's pole position. Three tenths to Charles. Yeah, that was a very lovely qualifying car with some thrills. Really good. Well done, everyone. Fernando Alonso across the line. It's fourth place. Yeah, well done, guys. Nice to drive the corner while you're feeling fast. Cool to play tomorrow. Thank you. Do you need positions, question? No, it's okay. I saw them on the screen. So we're up to 80 kph of the pit limiter. Come on down. Unsafe release territory. Yeah, I almost crashed. Yeah, we got it. Yeah. It's a penalty, yeah? I think the front wing is okay. I'm not sure if there's damage. Yeah, let's be on it, guys. I don't know what can happen. So get our chances. Could be a crazy one. You're looking for the second orange car on the grid. And that looks like a jump start. I think you're right, Jolyon. Jump start, Norris. And there you go. George Russell acknowledging that he agrees with you. He thinks it's a jump start. So we're going to box this lap here. Box this lap. We need to avoid sixth gear. Unfortunately, we're going to have to retire. And, Chen, we can resolve it and do a couple of laps later. Gabe's looking into the data. It doesn't sound like it. The car doesn't smell great as well. So we've lost a lot in the back end. Oh, gosh! Off the road and into the wall. A heavy one. Lance Stroll into the barriers and out of the race. Hit the wall. Okay, can you bring it back, Lance? No. All right, copy that. So Alonso appealing to the umpire. Oh, I nearly crashed with the Red Bull. So close. Side by side. Albon goes. That is a tap. That is damage. And Ocon profited. What is he doing? Oh, he didn't give me enough space. So, Otis, you need to just be too scared about it. Yeah. Actually, he got squeezed into the wall. Behrmann, take two. Tries to make himself as large as possible in the mirrors of the Haas. 20 laps into his Formula 1 career. Casting aspersions on other drivers. Thank you, Kev. I've been told that you need to maintain a pace of 35.5. Do not attempt to catch Joe. You need to do a 35.5. 10 second penalty means that you are currently P18. You need to keep the cars behind you, behind you. Did he really gain an advantage there? I think he got the majority of the pass done. Oh, you are kidding me, aren't you? 10 seconds for that? That's harsh. All aboard the Kevin Magnussen train. Okay, Kev. We've been given another 10 second penalty for leaving the track and gaining advantage. So the only way for the team to get something out of this is for you to do as we've asked. Yeah, copy that. I understood. Kiko is currently five seconds ahead of us. He needs 20 seconds. Magnussen doesn't want to give it up. Brilliant racing from the pair of them. Magnussen knows that he's not going to score a point in the race. That is defiance. And it's Kostiuki Tsunoda. What a dangerous driver. Now, is he going to try it again? Oh, my word. Alex Alba keeps threatening something audacious. And Holkenberg is going to blend out onto the racetrack. Given a gap by his teammate. Kiko, two seconds ahead. That was fantastic. Well done. Excellent team. Now just go for it as best you can. Doing a mega job out there. He is doing a mega job out there. He's quietly doing a really solid race for Ferrari. Nando Alonso. My word, that was tight. A little kiss to the wall in turn nine. But all OK. All good. Chogra knew they left him out there as long as possible. He had run the entire race on the medium tyre when he went to the soft. It has all fallen apart. Where am I now, Lars? Unfortunately, yes, Joe. A ninth consecutive win. Max Verstappen. Eat, sleep, win, repeat. Nice job, mate. Well controlled. Yeah, good race that. Another fantastic weekend. Well done. And it's points on debut for Oliver Behrmann. Ferrari's youngest ever Formula One driver is a points scorer at the first attempt. And the last 50 laps have gone a very long way for securing his future. Remember the name? We're going to be hearing Oliver Behrmann spoken time and time again. I'm P7. P7. Awesome job, mate. Yeah, good job, buddy. Congratulations. Not bad, I think. Yeah, I would have liked to go a bit longer on that soft at the start because it felt good. Just difficult to overtake. But the car was mega today, so thank you. I really enjoyed it. It was so much fun out there. I know it's not what you wanted, Kev, but that was absolutely mega. And the team got a point out of that. And that is like gold dust, as we've said before. So I'm really sorry that it ended up the way it did. But I can't thank you enough for your efforts. It really means so much to the team. Thank you very much. Yeah, sorry, man. I'm happy I could make it up for scoring as I will. I'll keep it clean next time. Congrats on the points. Well deserved, everyone. Let's go for more, yeah. What's the fastest lap? You've got the fastest lap? Yes. And you're the driver of the day out there. Good showing. Thanks, everyone.
