Lando & Max Battle It Out And The Best Team Radio | 2024 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix | Paramount+

Could you please stop the radio while I'm pushing? I'm not, but we check. Hello, something's wrong. Hello? I'm surfing like a kangaroo. The kangaroos here of Sauber. Thank you as always. I really enjoy running in these sessions, learning a lot. Hamilton thinks that he's alone on the track. In the second lap, he does it. 10.12 and now 10.07. What the ****? What's wrong with this Ferrari? And Oscar Piastri on the radio. Sarcasm 101. That's getting close to Piastri slightly annoyed, isn't it? Oh, Fernando Alonso into the barriers to bring out the red flag. Sorry mate. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm good. And now as a reference to how to get the fastest lap of 51. You mean FP2? Yeah, sorry. No, FP3. Major confusion. Driver and new race engineer, what do you mean? FP1, 2, 3? 1, 2, 3. Yeah, not very fair what Norris did there. No, not really. Yeah, that's ****ed up of everyone else. That Ferrari is taking the **** out. Totally. First car in the line and he does that. And we'll go to the grid for a start. Why? Are we always the same in these situations? Everyone bunched up, so nobody got a good gap there. Yeah, except Esteban. Except Esteban. It's always the same. Esteban didn't have a good gap. So let's go around for a start, mate. I thought we had the priority this weekend. I don't get it. We'll look at it later, mate. Yeah, that's ****ed. It's very badly managed. I don't understand. Where is everyone? They're still set in the garages with their gym run. I wouldn't have had Lewis down for someone who got lonely on a racetrack. He's normally human and machine, man and machine in perfect harmony. I would have thought he'd be soaking this up. Meanwhile, we're seeing the reverse angle of Fernando Alonso trying again. Alonso pushing four. Okay, he can tow me. No, Fernando, we've got to box, please. Box, box. Alonso finishing his lap. Sure. Ready to go? Box. Why? Okay. Box, eh? Yeah, box. Logan Sargent out-qualified by his teammate once again in the Grand Prix format. Sorry, I made our lives harder than it needed to be. This weekend's been a grind, but we'll keep pushing. This is Magnussen getting traffic. And Magnussen's frustration will be huge there. I can't believe this, man. It's unreal. Unreal. And Max Verstappen takes it further away. McLaren got close, but not close enough. And it's eight pole positions in a row in Formula 1 for only the second time in championship history. And that is a hard-earned pole position this weekend, Max. Enjoy it. Fantastic. Come on, let's go. Oh, that's definitely a really good pole position. What a difficult start, but we turned it around. Thank you, everyone. That's fantastic. Really happy. Oscar Piastri jumps to the front row. That is P2, Oscar, P2. Yeah. Cool. Well done. Thank you, everyone. Decent lap, mate. Really good. Ferrari could not get that first sector to work. It took them out of contention, even though they looked good in the second and the third. So, final grid. Verstappen, Piastri, Norris, yourself. Piastri, 18. They all gave more than what I thought in the last P3. Yeah, but you did a good job. Yeah, thank you. That's P6, one millisecond. One! I've had a really good lap. Even reaction time at the front of the field. No change for anyone until you look all the way back down. Gaining a couple of places as well as Hülkenberg. Yes! Come on. An upbeat, happy Hulk that he's made places at the start. Front brakes were on fire. Copy, Ferrari, copy. Dramatic pitches, DC. Yeah, it'll blow itself out. Let's review that pit stop. He presents the car beautifully, lined up as it's supposed to. He's at the left front. I think I've got a problem. My tyre's not on properly. I've got my servant slower than the guys behind. They're using their tyres a lot more than we are. Yeah, but I have no pace. Last couple of laps, Leclerc tried to push on a bit. Speak up! Leclerc tried to speed up a bit. The lap before he did a 21. Last lap, 20.5. So he's trying. Yeah, me too. I'm trying and he's a lot quicker. The main losses to Lando. Turn 2, turn 6. Yeah, my tyres don't work, mate. Just information, Max. That's all. Yeah, same for me. They're always very, very short and to the point under these engineer there, GP. So, George, would you be happy with stopping? We lost a position to Lewis. We've got a window to Perez currently that is still open. Yeah, I don't mind. I presume we'll do a switch at the end, or what do you...? Negative. But why would we bolt? I don't really get that. They're just concerned on getting these tyres to the end. I don't want to concede the position for no reason. Verstappen is complaining about... I see, I see, I see. Okay. That's just shit, mate. Well, he's pushing, he's giving it everything. Alex Albon is out of the Grand Prix. Alex, thank you for giving it everything today. Sorry we put you in that situation. I have to get back stronger. Hopefully it's a good learning of some things I've learned as well. We're on board with the race leader. But he leans, let me by, even more stupid. I think he's feeling the heat there. Yeah, just a bit, just a bit. And Lando happy to push turn 9 a little bit more. I'm pushing as much as I can, mate. Thank you. Wish me luck, Toto. Keep the f***ing wheel nearly. Max Verstappen will take back the top step. What a finish from those two across the line. It's new opposition for Verstappen, but the same result. The Dutch driver does it again. And he beats Lando Norris by 7 tenths of a second. Hard to work for that. Anyway, we did a great race. Considering how the weekend started, you know. But I had to work hard for that. Lando Norris has chased him all the way to the flag. Unlucky, almost. We just lost too much in the beginning. But another amazing weekend. Well done, everyone. A lot of points, another trophy. Let's keep it up. And P3, well done. You delivered well with the pace we had. Yeah. Thank you. And cheers to the fans. Yeah. They're always here. That's great. But it would have been even better if we'd won. I'm not sure if we'd won. No, but it's okay. We'll see. Alright, we'll get ready for next week. Obviously, congrats to Yuki on the point. We'll try to get both in there next week. Driver of the day as well, mate. One or two more laps, sir. Well done, guys. It's frustrating not to win. It feels a bit more painful now.
