Max and GP being a married couple for 13 minutes

Team radio moment of the year. Oh my god. Yeah, because we were joking about it that if I would win the race it would be win 69, but then he didn't say it when I crossed the line that it was going to be that it was win 69. So I had to remind him what we were talking about. Nice job. I didn't think it was appropriate to say it across the line. Yeah, that's okay. Radio check. Loud and clear. Radio check. Loud and clear. Radio check, Max. Yeah, radio check. Okay, you are loud. But not clear. That's a bit clearer now, yeah. So seven laps remaining, including this one. The gap behind is 18 seconds. You've done all of the hard work, so let's just bring this home, no risk. No risk, no push. Okay, Max, final lap. No risk, no push. It's the fastest way around this game. So just lock up front. No, no, you don't lock. It's just... Well, you do lock. That's the massive... I've got the data, but you do lock. These tyres are already vibrating like I flat spotted for 300 meters. We'll monitor those vibrations, Max. What a joke, mate. I can't even see where I'm going, so much vibration. Understood, Max. Well, if it's a safety concern for you, we're happy to box. I'll just visit the dentist after the weekend. And pick up there, Max. Box, pick up there. Sector wasn't quite so quick. Max Verstappen will rejoin ahead. This is terrible. It's a slow start for Max Verstappen. There is a chance for Lewis Hamilton. My goodness, it's all gone wrong for Lewis Hamilton in the pits. Beautiful. Beautiful. Long way to go. Yeah, you don't need to tell me that. Max, we're in this together, mate. Head down. Come on. Just inferred this stage, Max, but time lost to Checo, 39.8, braking 11.12.20. I know, mate. My brakes are just... As I say, it was just information. My biggest fear is the moment that we do have increased competition, and we're not winning every race because you see how he's treating me at the moment, and he's winning every race at that vehicle. The overtake is available if you want to cancel the clip. Back to mode 10. Yeah, yeah. Okay, do it yourself, Max. Gap 2.8. Same pace as Hamilton. Please, no talking. I'm in the braking. Understood, Max. Gap 3.6. No talking in the braking. Do you want me to do this for you in your ear? You want me to be in your ear like that? No. Do you want me to be in your ear like that? No, no talking under the braking. Sometimes he's managing Max in the car, but sometimes it's the other way around. Max is managing him on the pit wall. Looking after these tyres, aren't we, Max? Yeah, I'm all good. You're happy as well? Yeah, I'm delighted at the moment. Yeah, that's good to hear. The tyres as well. Yeah. It's a good relationship. Sometimes you think you're in a series of Love Island, which GP is addicted to. What do you want me to do? What are we doing? Staying out, Max. Are we on a one-stop or a two-stop at the moment? Right. I can't hear everything. Max, if 6, 7 and 14, so 6, 7 and 14 are on the nose, then torque 5 is available. You've got Leclerc junior at three seconds. I find it quite funny you call him junior. Into the pit lane, please, Max. Or should I call you Elvis? No, no, don't do that. Okay, for reference, that lap exceeded track limits at turn 19, so that lap won't count. Don't answer me. Thank you. I don't know what you're going to say. There was a radio message from GP. He said, that exceeded track limits, don't answer me, in that British-Italian accent of his. Sexy accent. Sexy accent. So what would have been your answer if you responded? It would have been a radio rant. So I was like, I pressed the radio button. Yeah, and then he was like, no, no, no, don't say it. Okay. I was actually proud of that moment. Max, we don't need donuts on our race box. Whoa, there's a giant lizard on the track. Yeah, I'm not joking, out of the tree. Face to face with Godzilla then, mate. It's a lizard. It's a lizard. We've got a lizard on the track to bring out the yellow flag. There's a lizard again on the track. A smaller one this time. Okay, understood. Maybe Godzilla had a kid. I mean, that makes sense. Norris and Piastri have swapped places, Max. It's not our business, but I guess it keeps it fair between the drivers in terms of championship. Have you ever had a fake argument during races just to keep us entertained? Not from my side. I know for sure he will say yes. No, not a fake argument, but some fake... Bit of cheeky comments. Yeah, cheeky comments. And it's definitely not going to be the last one. GP2. Apologies, Max. GP2, GP2. Do we have two GPs? Go away. F**k me, this is boring. Should have brought my pillow. Okay, Max. So we're just going to want to cover Bottas's lap times at this stage. All right, son. I'll take it easy. Did he say son? Yeah, he did, yeah. Okay, so that was the same lap time as the previous lap, Max. I'm really sorry. Is he laughing? Well done, Max. That was fantastic. Couldn't you go any slower? Yeah, I'm so sorry, mate. I was cruising. I was about to cut the track, you know, just for fun. Maybe I got a five-second penalty. Then it gets a bit more interesting. Just keep up some level of management on that front left time, Max. Yeah, let's have a bit of fun. I mean, we're only going to be second here, so just push. Try to keep it close together. That's fine, but just watch your slip on the front left. Continue to cancel lift-off, Max. That front right disc is waking up. Good evening. My shoes feel like a Monaco Grand Prix, 1972. I'm just a Max. Yeah, it's again like a clutch, all-optic thing. 1973? Yeah, maybe 74 now. Sometimes I get the feeling that you are just bored, basically, sometimes. I just want, like, hello. If you're winning so far, like you're 30 seconds ahead in a race, you end up just kind of going, Hey, so, GP, what you doing? Remember to hydrate. GP, did you hydrate during the race? You must have some sweaty hands as well, so don't forget to sanitize. Remember to drink. GP, remember to drink. Thank you. Max, I think we're a little bit close for tyres at this stage. I think just pull back. Mate, this is the only chance I'm being comfortable, let's say, because I'm not just sitting around like a grandma. I'm being sensible, don't worry. I already, to be honest, I have to apologize to my engineer, because he sent me three emails related to next year, I didn't respond, it happened the same to me. I saw him today, I saw him today, so I made up for it. OK, so it's all right. Yeah, we're good. You know our relationship. Yeah, it's lovely. It's a bromance. So, Hamilton does have DRS. 0.8. 0.9, and mode 7, please, Max. All right, calm yourself down. Mode 7. So, Leclerc 23.5, Max. Bring this one home. Just bring it home, Max. 37.0s, please, mate. Leclerc 37.2. So, target 37.0. I'm happy to go slower, but we both go slower. There is no race at the moment, Max. So, target 37.0, please. 37.0. Max, so you're looking for plus 0.7, plus 0.7 on the dash. I'll get bored of this, so just please do it. OK, Max, that was a third stroke on track limits. Where? Turn 10. You've now been given the black and white flag. You are 18 seconds ahead of Hamilton. No risks required, Max. What's the pass ramp? It's 16.6. It was a first lap on a new soft for Checo with the RS, so I won't worry about it, Max. What's my pass, sir? Yours is a 17.3. Like I say, you've been given a black and white flag, so we cannot afford anything. Verstappen has turned the wick up on that last lap and done a 1.16.3. OK, now can you bring it home within the white lines? Thank you. Yeah, yeah. GP got it more. Can you call him Max? Probably more obedient. Yeah, I told him, like, at least you got one, Max. What don't you know about Max? He loves cats. I'm a little bit disappointed. I think he's just grabbed a new cat and he was saying he was going to call it GP, but he's called it Donatello or something stupid like that. And Hamilton is winning the Grand Prix, but look at the state of that Mercedes car. Hamilton's got a puncture ahead. He's slow at turn nine. He's slow. Hamilton, puncture at turn 12. Can you win this? Can you get on with it? He's a lucky boy. How long have you two been working together? This is eight seasons now. Yeah, coming up. Yeah, the end of this season will be eight. I thought he was going to say too long. How much faster is the fastest lap? Too fast. Okay, Max, just so you know, Hamilton been told to push and like the safety of a safety car pit stop window. OB, currently two seconds away from that. Oh, we're off. Yeah, something broke on the car. Okay, that was purple sector two and three. We don't need it though. I know we don't need it, but it's nice. Yeah, okay, Max. That's purple. Please slow it down. There you go. Bottas on the pressure set. It's out of reach. Don't worry about it. Bring it home. Okay. Thank you. Understood. Yeah, apologies, Max. Your radio is still poor. No, didn't copy. See if you can move your microphone at the next available opportunity. I still can't copy, Max. Apologies. Keep it in seven. And go flat? Yeah. Come on, it's lap one. You remember we had that bet? Yeah. The year that they had the DRS open through turn one and I said I'm going to do it flat on my first lap. I remember. You know that I came out of, like, onto that straight, you know, and I was actually a bit scared. That's like, I cannot lose the bet now, so I have to go flat. I almost spun off. You're such a fool.
