You're not mic'd up, are you?

- Yeah. Yeah, I don't care.
- Fuck it.

- They take it out.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The Haas F1 team
means a lot to me.

Last year, we were fast...

Congratulations to Haas
for their best-ever finish in Formula 1.

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Well done, guys.

You're with the big boys, yeah?

Finishing fifth
in our third season

was a great achievement from the team,

but we want to try to finish fourth
or better.

This year, the pressure we are under
is very, very high.

If I have to remind you
to do your job every day,

you are in the wrong fucking place.

This is not a fucking kindergarten here.

One little mistake
and you fail completely.

Obviously, it was
a little bit of a clown show today again.

We bitched about the tires enough
and we better

shut up, because otherwise
we look even bigger idiots than we are.

Every weekend,
the tension is higher.

As a team principal, you feel responsible
and I'm a little bit emotional.

Fucking hell!
I don't know what is fucking happening.

Fucking everything is fucked up
at the moment.

There's always challenges.

You don't want them to be too brutal,
but you know they are coming.

Last season,
we made a big step upwards.

We know that our opposition,
they have got bigger budgets.

It's very difficult
to break into the top three.

But nothing is impossible
if you've got enough money and resources.

My name's William Storey.

I'm the CEO and founder of Rich Energy.

This year, I put a personal guarantee down
for Haas for £35 million.

They are a new business,
they're a little bit rock and roll,

and they are Davids
taking on the Goliaths of motorsport.

We feel that we're the same
in the drinks business.

We're supporting Haas
to become as successful as possible,

and also having some fun along the way.

Good morning.

I don't know where I am, where to go.
I'm completely lost. I just follow you.

Welcome to all of you here
for the Rich Energy Haas Livery Launch.

We have a pretty exciting morning.

Stu, have you seen William?

It can only be a couple of minutes,
isn't it now?

- Do you live far from here?
- Two miles.

You could walk.

I could.

It would be good for you.

For a small team like Haas,
we need to do a lot more with a lot less.

So, we need a different model
to try to have success.

Now, please welcome

the CEO of Rich Energy, William Storey.

Wow! William, you are a popular bloke.

There's a lot of cheers
going on up there.

I paid them. Don't worry.

So it is time to see
what is under the covers.

In the beginning,

we were questioned and critiqued
and doubted

because nobody had done it.

To be a team in Formula 1,
you have to be a constructor...

and that means you have to construct
every element of your car.

Haas was smart, though,

because they bought in as many
off-the-shelf pieces as they could,

to come into the sport
in a cost-effective manner

and essentially hit the ground running
as a competitive outfit.

So, what do you think?

- Looks fast.
- Looks dangerous.

- Looks angry.
- It does.

I think Haas
are a wonderful example of a team

who are much more efficient,
less profligate, brilliantly run.

- Nice suit.
- It is, isn't it?

Yeah.

I'm not sure I'd fit into that.

And as such,
I think they're starting

to make some of the bigger teams
look a bit silly.

Having Rich Energy on board
as a title sponsor is a good thing for us.

We get some more money
that will help us to move forward.

Then hopefully get on the podium.

It's a good looking car,

so if it goes as good as it looks,
then we should be all right.

Yeah, we should be all right.

It doesn't always work like this.

Exactly.

It's the Australian Grand Prix
here in Melbourne.

In a very tight midfield pack,
Haas think they've got a very fast car.

Good lap there.
Excellent pace.

Chequered flag, Kevin. P6.

Woo-hoo!

Perfect race.

Good job, thank you.

Car was amazing.
Let's keep this up and have a good season.

Well done, brilliant.

You did one fantastic move.

Some say that you have cut the
gap to the top teams. Do you agree?

Let's wait a few races
to see where we really are.

Lance Stroll is going
to make contact with Romain Grosjean.

Ah! Fucking stupid!

The Haas team expected
a handful of points today,

and it's not really going
that well at all.

I'm losing the brakes.

Grosjean lights up his tires,
takes to the escape road.

He might have to be coming
into the pits again very shortly.

Romain,
we need to retire the car.

Okay.

Fucking hell!

Remember, mode push.

Kevin Magnussen. Big accident.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

They can't find
a race setup for these tires at Haas.

Things look okay data-wise.

It feels strange.
There's no grip.

Kevin Magnussen's two laps down.
He's running in 18th place.

I don't get it.
They overtake us everywhere.

This is the worst experience
I’ve ever had in any race car, ever.

For us, it's also not
a nice experience. Enough now.

Everything seems to be going
in the right direction, so...

Front row on the grid.

The last two or three races
were very bad for us.

It doesn't seem
that we can get on top of it.

Coming here in Austria,

we need to work hard

and try to come up with a solution
to our problems.

You can come closer,
so I have to shout less.

Are we all... Geoff? Doorman?

Are we all here? All right.

Coming from fifth now
to being ninth in the championship,

it's not a good feeling,
I can tell you guys.

I'm embarrassed about it.
I don't like this feeling.

I cannot deal with that,
and as a team, we never had this,

and I'm not saying
that you're not working hard, guys.

But in general,
we all have to look into the mirror,

and see what can we do better,
what have we missed?

There is a lot to be done.

We are here to fight
and get back where we want to be.

Our aim is still to finish fourth
in the championship, you know,

which is still possible
because we're not that far out.

Thank you very much, guys.

Good morning
to everybody in the garage.

You go into the weekend
with expectations and you're pumped.

But then, as soon as it goes bad,

you start just feeling nervous and tense.

Radio check
on the race channel.

Radio's good.

Fire up, please.

Green light.

Charge on.

I had so much understeer
in that corner there.

I mean, it doesn't feel fantastic.

We've been struggling for pace
a little bit this whole year

and the car just isn't working.

We don't actually really know
exactly what is our problem.

So, we need to look at everything
and question everything.

It's a pretty tough situation.

The car wouldn't turn any more.
That was the big issue.

The biggest problem this year
is the performance of the car, generally,

which is quite poor.

It's not controllable.

The car was
very good in Melbourne.

And then, the other teams
kept on moving forwards.

But we didn't make any progress.

Yes, a lower speed, basically.

Low speed, as usual.

Every weekend,
the teams refine their cars,

trying to get more speed in the battle
with your nearest competitor.

The Haas upgrades have not been working.

Part and parcel of it
may be to do with the business model.

Getting a lot of parts in,

putting the car design and manufacture
out to third parties.

So, the team needs to get on top
of what the core issue is.

Anyone else?

Okay, thank you.

Got a minute?

I always have a minute.

I'll show you.
This is the official speeds.

I don't get it.

The car was not a piece of shit.

So why did we develop a car
which fucking goes slower?

Find out the problem
and make progress out of it,

instead of, "This is better." It isn't!

"This is better." It fucking isn't.

I want to see the progress.

I mean, otherwise,
I'll make changes, you know?

Whatever happens, I'm responsible
to the owner of our team, Gene Haas.

Let's hope he doesn't
get frustrated too much.

Can we have two cappuccinos?

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

So, it seems like
our biggest problem

is keeping the cars
with their initial speed.

- Thank you.
- No problem.

'Cause it seems like
it falls off way too fast.

And the drivers just wave
to everybody as they go by.

You have to rely too much on the data.

We've got a lot of data,
but we still run like dog shit.

- Sometimes.
- It can't get any slower than we're going.

We just need to figure out
a few things,

not to make mistakes, and we're good.

Hope you get it fixed.

- You're telling me.
- Yeah.

- Well, every weekend's a new test.
- Yeah, every weekend's a new day.

Let's see if you can pass this one.

Well, in the season so far,

we're the ones that have been struggling,

which is not good.

It pissed me off, that's for sure.

Gene Haas is supporting us.

But he needs to see
if it is still worthwhile

for Haas Automation to invest in the team.

So, here we go.
Time for qualifying.

Okay, charge on.

Kevin, slow the car. We have an issue.

Something went wrong in the gearbox.

I'll tell you now
that it doesn't look good.

Okay, it's gonna be a gearbox change.

I'm sorry. It sucks, man.

I cannot believe it.

It's all right. We'll get it.

Yeah, we'll get it.

Under Formula 1 rules,

Magnussen will have to take
a five-place grid penalty

for changing the gearbox.

The gearbox has gone.

One race old.

They have to take it out now
and change it.

It was new on the last race,
so now we get a penalty.

We cannot get one right
at the moment, for fuck's sake.

Haas are
up against the clock.

They need to get their car ready
and out on track

before the end of qualifying.

Uh, it's a little
over 15 minutes to go.

Do you think
we can do it or not?

We can try.

Yeah, I'm sorry
we've got a five-place penalty,

but we still can do a good lap time.

Ten minutes to go.
Ten minutes.

Here we are again.
The new gearbox. Let's see if it works.

Think this one's any better
than the last one?

Should be.

It's a new one.

Two minutes to go.

One minute to go. One minute.

Green light.

Fire up, please.

Keep it up, guys, we can do it.

Okay, let's go.

Chequered flag.

Very good lap.

How's that?

P5.

Woo-hoo!

Whoa!

Fucking love that.

Ah, I can't believe this.

Wow.

Unreal!

Fuckin' amazing, guys, amazing.

Good job. Thank you.

Thanks a lot.

Expectations of Gene Haas
is always to do better.

Let's do that without the penalty.

Yeah, fucking hell, five.

I would say
it's never good enough.

Kevin did magic there.

I mean, it was a fantastic lap,
his last lap.

So, lot of people said we are history
and now we will be last this year.

We will keep fighting.

- Well done, mate.
- Motherfuckin' ten!

We showed that
we are a strong team.

We just need to be confident,
focus on your job.

If everybody does that, we are back.

As a team principal,
you are judged every weekend you race.

You do good or you do bad.

Yeah, you can do okay,
but okay is already bad.

When I qualified fifth,
I was so happy about that performance.

One minute to go.

Everything goes from being
a little bit hopeless to being possible.

We really need a good one
to lift everyone up,

and get the belief back into the team.

We have done our best.

But it's out of your control.

We're racing in Austria.

Mode push, Kevin.

I don't understand it.

There's something wrong.

I'm losing rear grip.

Okay, Kevin, overheating is high.

It's weird.

Overheating very high.

Really struggling.

Overheating is the highest
it's ever been.

We'll figure something out.

We just got to get these temps
calmed down.

Come on, do something.

We are overheating.
We are slow.

Everybody else
is not overheating and fast.

Previous lap,
balance was all over the place.

Is everything okay on the car?

Okay, we'll investigate.

One of the problems is,
on the straight, we are so slow.

We are just fighting.

I feel like it's raining.

I've got no grip.

We need to move
to the side to cool the car.

No difference.

I don't know how much longer
I'll be able to stay out.

Grosjean is definitely
having issues with his car.

He's now down to 17th place.

Whatever is wrong with that Haas,
the race pace has just disappeared.

And Magnussen is dropping down the field
once again.

He's now back in 14th place.

It's annoying, Ayao.

It's like there's no point to sit here.

Kevin Magnussen
loses another position.

He just has no pace.

Being overtaken all the time,

it just feels so hopeless.

Chequered flag, Kevin.

Tough race, dude.

We just didn't have the pace
in either car today.

That's another day
of pain for Haas

with Grosjean finishing 16th
and Magnussen 19th.

When you have a bad car,
it's difficult not to give up on it.

Sorry, boys,
we couldn't do better.

Obviously, we haven't solved it.
We will keep working.

Fucking hell.
I cannot do this.

I might as well park the car
and jump out and go home.

Bad race for us.
Nothing more to say.

- Really?
- Yeah. Nothing.

I don't want to comment on it.
It's enough.

Fucking hell.

Continuing like this is
banging our heads against a wall.

There's no point.
I mean, it hurts too much.

We aren't going anywhere.

The car was a fucking rocket before.

Is there something gone wrong?

There's something gone badly wrong.

It's difficult
to be consistent.

- Yeah.
- If you're on your own, it's okay.

That's what I mean.

As soon as you're behind another car...

I don't want that one anymore.

I don't fucking know.

I don't fucking... I don't fucking know.

It was painful.

Oh.

I was just thinking what to do up there.
I wasn't even watching anymore.

I couldn't give a fuck.

We need to do something.

I mean, sitting here, at least you need...

- It won't get better...
- No, it will not heal.

It's not like when you are scratched.

- It doesn't heal, this problem.
- No...

You need to do
something about it.

It's frustrating as hell.

I drive the car and then it doesn't work
and I'm like, "What's going on?"

It's just refreshing
to just get away from it sometimes,

and, you know, disconnect from it.

I'm getting into sailing quite a bit

and I just feel really switched off
when I go on the water.

It's cool to think
that we could go anywhere right now.

Fucking hell, I'm cold.

We're freezing our balls off.

So where
did you finish in Austria?

Well outside the points.

Well, I mean, just so good in qualifying,

and yeah, just no pace in the race.

I think everybody knows
what the problem is.

It's just... shit car.

Hopefully, they know
it's not just the drivers.

Being a driver, you feel pretty helpless
when it doesn't work.

It's been hard to understand
why we haven't been good.

We've actually been pretty terrible, so...

You could do the lap of your life
and then be 15th, still.

And you start questioning everything,
including yourself.

Frustrations build up.

We're just running around in circles
a little bit.

At the moment, there's enough
going on and I need to deal with it.

It is very demanding.

It's part of my life to come and go,

but I still like
to come back frequently here.

Do you like
being team principal?

He has been doing it
for a long time. That's his job.

What else would I do?

Make ice cream.

Ice cream.

It's just
one setback.

It doesn't take me,
it doesn't take Haas F1 down.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

But a lot
of negative things came together.

When he comes home,
usually, he is very quiet,

and I think that's the time
when he re-charges.

I mean, his job is constant pressure.

It's constant pressure,
so you think a lot about it.

That's for sure.

I actually don't suffer
the pressure itself.

It's more...
I would say I get emotional,

but the pressure
doesn't get to me, really.

Sometimes,
I think he drops off the pit wall.

I could picture it, you know.
Boom! Falls off.

What does Gene think?

At the moment, Gene is impatient
because we've had three good years,

and at the moment, it's not going as well,
when he always wants more success.

But I think we're in decent shape
and we'll get out of this hole.

I just hope it won't take too long
because it's tiring.

- Yeah.
- Tiring.

We also have trouble with the drivers
at the moment

Frustrating and...

There is this constant paranoia.

I think they always want to fight.

A driver wants to be in front.

I don't think they understand
what it's about.

They think it's only about them,

and you always need to think
about the team.

It can't go on like this.

With the season
already in crisis,

the Haas F1 Team are facing more pressure

after reports that their main sponsor,
Rich Energy, is pulling out.

There were
some rumors going around

that they had made an initial payment,

but none had been coming on after that.
Is that true?

The performance of Haas in the last two,
three months has been very poor.

I would like not to answer
any more questions

because there are
commercial agreements in place.

It's clear
that they're going backwards,

so I formally canceled the agreement.

I'm getting fucking sick of
answering these fucking stupid questions

on a race weekend.

I've never seen any fucking thing
like this, you know.

- Did that come as a surprise?
- Yes.

That's the last I'm saying.
Yes, it was a surprise.

No more questions on that topic.
Move on.

The Rich Energy deal
was supposed to be worth $60 million.

This is enough.
This is not worth the hassle.

Other than the initial payment,
that was the only money we ever received,

so we're done with Rich Energy now.

This year
is a roller coaster.

To salvage the season,

we need to make
a more radical approach

and try to do something very unusual.

We are at the stage now,
we are just in front of Williams,

but we are hanging on in there.

But if in two races, they are ahead of us,

we cannot be slower than this.

Top speed, we are nowhere.

We are much slower than last year.

The car is completely all over the place.

It felt that bad. It was horrendous.

We do need to take some drastic action.

At the moment, we cannot find a solution.
We need to get practical.

And I think in Melbourne,
we had a decent car,

and I think one car has to change over,
go back to Melbourne spec.

At least we have something to compare now,
and if it is worse,

at least we found out
it isn't what we are looking for.

The team is using the race
as a testing session,

to go out, to try the old car
and the new car,

see which bits work, see which bits don't.

This is absolutely the end of the road
in terms of ideas.

It is very unusual
to go back to an old spec car,

because you always think
the new one is better.

That's what I want to find out.

We are not gonna vote on this,
just to be clear.

I'm not gonna tomorrow enter discussion,
"We should." "We shouldn't."

"Yes," "No," "Maybe,"
"I like it," "I don't."

I don't know who sacrifices himself,

who runs on the old car,
who runs on the new car.

I wouldn't mind
being the one to go back.

Yeah. I don't know who's going to go back.

Both are pretty happy to do it.

Because everybody's like,
"I can't believe this."

Hey, keep your head up.

I don't care who does it.

I think we need
to do it with Romain

because he's been vocal about this
since day one.

- Okay, we do it with him.
- Yeah.

I'll speak with Kevin if needed.

But if somebody opposes to that one,
I'll sack them.

I'll take the responsibility.

I think Melbourne's spec car
may be better.

Romain test that one.

Sometimes, you need to make a decision.

I don't think Kevin is that keen on it.

But you cannot have
always everybody content.

Somebody will be unhappy.

Deal with it.

We do it for the team, not an individual.

As a driver, we wanna win.

But if you're not in the right car,

you're constantly trying
to achieve something

that actually isn't possible.

I wanted to revert
back to the old spec.

For me, it was more a question of,
"How can I get better results?"

Me and Romain,
we had some run-ins.

I don't really feel like
I'm an angry person,

but you know, I'm aggressive.

Radio check, Romain.

This is good.

Toby, we can go.

Radio check, Kevin.

Radio is good.

The only way I can
motivate myself is to find this fire

and just go all out.

Obviously, you want to try
to beat as many drivers as you can.

Including your teammate.

The British Grand Prix
is underway.

Kevin Magnussen
coming into the first corner.

Ooh! So close to his teammate there.

Into the hairpin right-hander.
Both Haases lock up!

Grosjean on the inside
and they're wheel-to-wheel again.

Oh! There's contact!

- What happened?
- I don't know.

They ran into each other.

They hit each other.

Fucking idiots!

Fuck, I have a puncture.

Fuck!

Ugh!

Fucking hell.

Have you got puncture as well?

Okay, both cars got punctured, okay.

That's not good at all.

Both cars are in trouble.
They're both gonna have to pit.

Grosjean and Magnussen right at the back.

Stand by for double stop.

Okay, Kevin, box now, box.

Try and make this to the end, okay?

Just bring it back.

Something's loose
around my pedals.

Bring it in.

Okay,
we don't wanna take any risks,

so box now, for retirement.

Race over for Kevin Magnussen
after contact with his teammate.

Romain, we saw
quite significant floor damage

on the right-hand side.

Just call him in. End this fucking pain.

Box, Romain, box.
We will retire the car.

What happened?

I'm so pissed off.

Fuck, there's a lot I can accept,
but not this.

Ayao.

I got pushed out
by my teammate.

Was it on purpose or not? I don't know.

But as long as he's in front of me,
he's happy.

He doesn't give a shit
about anything else.

I need to calm down
or I'm gonna do something stupid.

- Can you go and get them?
- Yes.

- Please?
- Sure.

Because then
I can fucking go home.

Yeah.

Romain, Guenther wants to speak upstairs.

Let's go inside.

I've had enough of both of you.

You let the fucking team down, me down,
which I protected you all the time.

And I'm not fucking going into
who is right and who is wrong.

I don't want to hear,
"He moved. He shouldn't have moved,"

and all that fucking wank, you know.

Gene spends hundred fucking million a year
of his own money

which wants to pull the plug
and let everybody down

because you are two idiots.

I've not more to fucking say to you guys

and if you don't like it,
I don't need you here.

Do not come back, please.

What was that?

Kevin just fucking smashed
the door. That's not acceptable.

Fucking hell.

He's not fucking doing that to me,
you know?

He does not fucking smash my door.
Tell him that.

If he doesn't want to come back,
he'd better tell me now.

- Has he just done that now?
- Yeah.

- He smashed my fucking office door.
- Where is he?

I don't know where he is,
but he can fuck off.

I told him, both of them.

Fucking hell.

We have got two fucking idiots
driving for us.

This is not acceptable.
We will make changes.

If it would be my decision now,
I would sack them both.

Lewis Hamilton now has
six British Grand Prix wins to his name,

more than any other driver.

The Haas F1 Team means a lot to me.

I think if it is a failure,
I would have no idea what to do next.

Whoo!

I think we have a good team.

Everybody shows up, but then,
when we can't get the cars to perform,

the question is, "What the heck happened?
What's going on here?

What are we doing this for?"

We're here to race competitors, you know,
drivers and race strategies

and we don't do any of that.

So, where do we go in the future?

It's a very expensive sport.

If we're doomed to run in the back,

I don't think
I'm gonna be part of that.

I've seen him with that expression before.
I'll say it in French as well.

Oh, go fuck yourself.

Where's the fucking boot?

Daniel thinks he's the best.

But I'm working more than anyone else
in Formula 1.

Carlos is just quick, mate.

You should have thrown some banana peels
at my rivals.

- Can you win this weekend?
- Yeah!

- Look at that.
- What's happened there?

No, I am so fuckin' sorry.

Tough day at the office?

No, it was a fucking shit day
at the office.
