1
00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:03,800
[commentator] Here is Jenson Button,
2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:08,080
winner in Melbourne, winner in Malaysia,
winner in Bahrain, and he's done it again!
3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,600
[Horner] You couldn't come up
with a Hollywood script.
4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:12,840
No, I'd never believe you.
5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,080
[commentator] Jenson Button crosses
the line, takes the chequered flag.
6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,360
This opportunity
doesn't come around for many people.
7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,240
This season is made for me.
I'm gonna win the championship.
8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,920
[Button on radio]
Oh, you have built me a monster of a car.
9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,040
[engine revs]
10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,760
[reporter] Tell us what you said
to your drivers?
11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,120
Yeah, just don't hit each other.
12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,960
[engine revs]
13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,360
We are here to fight and obviously to win.
14
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:42,960
Suddenly, boom, we managed to break them.
15
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:44,720
-[no audible dialogue]
-[engine revs]
16
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,000
[Button on radio] This is the perfect way
to throw it away.
17
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,080
The emotions were starting to show.
18
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,720
It's possibly the biggest crisis
to hit motor sport in its 60-year history.
19
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,240
[reporter] Some of the sport's
biggest names said they were breaking away
20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,640
to form a rival championship.
21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,480
The objective of Max Mosley
and Bernie Ecclestone was
22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,880
to divide and conquer the teams.
23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,320
They weren't gonna give us
the money that was rightfully ours
24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,840
unless we signed for 2010.
25
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,160
So, at one hand,
we wanted to stay loyal to FOTA,
26
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,280
but on the other hand,
27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,520
we needed to know that Bernie
was gonna pay us that money.
28
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,800
Because, without that money, it completely
scuppered any future for the team.
29
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,440
Bernie could see this would kill FOTA.
30
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,320
[Fry] I signed the deal
because we were desperate.
31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,160
But, for us,
it was signing with the devil.
32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,880
[Brawn] We'd realised we'd been played.
33
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,080
The teams wanna leave Formula 1.
34
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,000
You guys make a commitment
with Bernie for 2010?
35
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,760
Yeah, because we had no money.
36
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,720
We signed a letter in the morning.
37
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,600
We were due to go to a FOTA meeting
in the afternoon.
38
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,240
[Reeves]
Bernie makes a side deal with you,
39
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,720
tells the rest of the teams, FOTA,
40
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,480
that you just made a deal with him
that goes against the deal with FOTA.
41
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,240
[Brawn] Nick and I had to go to Renault
headquarters, where all the teams were,
42
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,480
and explain our position.
43
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,920
[Fry] Through Bernie, they already knew
44
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,240
we'd signed with Formula 1 for 2010.
45
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,360
Yeah, you can imagine how popular we were.
46
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,240
[laughs]
47
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,200
[Reeves] And so,
then you walk in that room with Ross,
48
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,080
and they're like, "What the fuck?"
49
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,120
They were not impressed.
50
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,920
The room full
of Formula 1 team principals,
51
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,040
stony silence.
52
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,280
It was very clear
that we were now the enemy.
53
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,920
You know, we should move elsewhere.
54
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,280
But if you wanna play with the big boys,
55
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,640
then you better expect
that this is going to be, you know, tough,
56
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,880
and it was tough.
57
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,840
At the end of the day,
everybody wants the same thing,
58
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:31,480
you know,
a strong Formula 1 Championship.
59
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,440
They want a chance to win
and make a lot of money.
60
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,280
Bernie knew what he wanted as an end goal.
61
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,320
I don't think he really knew
how he was gonna get there necessarily.
62
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,880
The problem is,
what they were short of, collectively,
63
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,480
they didn't have any balls.
64
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,640
Yeah. Yeah.
65
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,040
Shouldn't make threats
unless you intend to carry them out.
66
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:04,280
[Horner] At this point in time,
Brawn are a hundred per cent team Bernie,
67
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,160
team Max, team FIA.
68
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,400
And then suddenly, Martin Whitmarsh
asked for a private meeting
69
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,120
with Nick and with Ross.
70
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,680
[Fry] Norbert Haug, who represented
Mercedes-Benz, came to the room.
71
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,760
Then Martin left the room,
72
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,720
and Ross was left
with Norbert Haug and Nick.
73
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,480
Ross took a call from Dieter Zetsche,
74
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,600
the chairman and CEO of Mercedes.
75
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:35,680
[shutters clicking]
76
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,480
He wanted to know which side we were on.
77
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,960
He said, "Stay strong. Stay in the group.
Don't-Don't splinter."
78
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,040
"If you guys get yourself into
lots of trouble commercially,
79
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,440
then we'll see what we can do."
80
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:57,480
We've got a strong indication here
from the chairman and CEO,
81
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,640
Mercedes could be interested in investing
in the team in some way.
82
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,680
But we've got to hold firm
with the FOTA side.
83
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,360
You have to look after yourself.
84
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,240
You have to look after your team,
85
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,600
and you have to survive.
86
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,080
[Reeves]
Were you aware of when Nick and Ross
87
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:21,560
signed that agreement
to join Bernie and Max Mosley for 2010?
88
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:23,280
Yes.
89
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,120
It's all about trying to wordsmith things
as cleverly as you possibly can.
90
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,680
We needed Bernie to feel
that we were committing,
91
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,600
but we needed to know
that there was a get-out if we needed it.
92
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,720
[Reeves] Brawn's legal director added
a last-minute clause.
93
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,120
So when Bernie told the other teams
about the agreement,
94
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,000
he was in clear breach of confidentiality,
95
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,120
which rendered the agreement
null and void.
96
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,440
Ross defected from one side to the other
and signed the FOTA document
97
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,880
and became part of the FOTA press release
for the following day.
98
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,160
That incensed Bernie…
99
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,840
Out the way, before I get upset.
100
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,840
[Horner] …because it took away
his negotiating hand.
101
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,040
Not so cuddly now, huh? [laughs]
102
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,640
[both laughing]
103
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,480
[Reeves] There's so much going on.
104
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,720
There's crisis in Formula 1.
105
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,560
You're ahead in the championship.
106
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,720
The next race coming up
is the British GP, Silverstone.
107
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,960
Yeah, let's go there
in a positive frame of mind.
108
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,960
Let's go there
and see this as an opportunity to show,
109
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,040
in very difficult circumstances,
we can do a better job than anyone else.
110
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,400
[Button] My whole life,
I dreamed of being a Formula 1 driver.
111
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,440
[crowd cheering]
112
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,480
When I look back at Nigel Mansell
winning his home Grand Prix,
113
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:21,920
and the crowds flooding onto the track
surrounding his car and--
114
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,680
It's just such a special memory for me.
115
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:29,840
So I wanted that.
116
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,560
[fan 1] Sign that, please?
117
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,920
[fan 2] Jenson,
when are you going to come to Ferrari?
118
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,560
[Brawn] He is a British driver.
119
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,160
Now he's leading the World Championship.
120
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,040
He's a new hero.
Everyone's talking about him.
121
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,840
Huge expectation.
122
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,600
[applause, cheering]
123
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,400
He'd never had this situation
in his life before.
124
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,360
[applause, cheering]
125
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,800
[applause, cheering stop]
126
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,640
You've won six out of seven races.
127
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,480
You've won the last four races
128
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,800
and you're coming to your home circuit.
129
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,880
[crowd cheering]
130
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,680
[Button] This is the one
that I wanted to win so much.
131
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,160
You could hear the crowd.
132
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,680
You could see the crowd all cheering,
and I think they just loved the story.
133
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,960
I came here as the championship leader.
It's the one race you wanna win.
134
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,200
[commentator] What are we to expect today
at Silverstone in 2009?
135
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,280
There is a huge crowd here,
an enormous crowd.
136
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,360
-You can feel the passion.
-[crowd cheering]
137
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,920
[commentator 2]
They came here with high expectations
138
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,400
that this man could dominate this
Grand Prix as he has dominated the season,
139
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,480
and it's gonna be his toughest call yet.
140
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,680
[Brundle] Silverstone's a tough track.
141
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,360
You'd think if you had a car
that was dominant in Barcelona,
142
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,800
it would still be pretty damn good
in Silverstone.
143
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,400
But it turns out the opposition were now
starting to come back at them.
144
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,640
[Button] Even though I'm starting P6,
145
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,640
I still feel that the car
is gonna come alive.
146
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,960
[commentator 1] If you're wondering
why Jenson Button is so far down,
147
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,040
he could not get the heat into his tyres
to get that grip.
148
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,640
Barrichello, great qualifying for him.
149
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,320
[Reeves]
Qualification: Rubens P2, Jenson P6.
150
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,760
Did you see anything
with Jenson having pressure?
151
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:39,840
If you ask me,
152
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,600
from the bottom of my heart,
if I had one wish,
153
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,120
either winning the championship
or winning my home Grand Prix,
154
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,320
I would still go for my winning
my-my home Grand Prix.
155
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,400
-Really?
-Yes.
156
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,360
So, for sure, it's--
it's a pressure to deliver.
157
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
[Shovlin]
158
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,200
[Button]
159
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,800
[commentator] We're almost ready to go
at Silverstone in 2009.
160
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:10,920
We're ready and off!
161
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,040
And there goes Vettel.
162
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,960
There goes the Brawn as well,
but look how Vettel moves across.
163
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,680
[engines revving]
164
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,680
Jenson Button's dropped well down.
165
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,040
He's been caught by a number of cars
there. The Ferrari haring forward as well.
166
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,120
It's Räikkönen who's had a great start,
an absolute charging start.
167
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,440
-Button there really wrestling the car.
-[engine revs]
168
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,440
What we were seeing as a bit of a pattern
169
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:39,080
was the hot races were going well,
and Silverstone's not normally that hot.
170
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:42,040
We were struggling to generate
tyre temperature.
171
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,760
[commentator] Jenson Button,
seven seconds down already.
172
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,240
What a shock for him.
Two weeks ago, he'd already got the lead.
173
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,000
[Button on radio]
174
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,640
[Shovlin]
175
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,440
[Button]
I just could not get the tyres working.
176
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,400
I'd be weaving on the straights
to try and get these tyres working.
177
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,440
And compare myself to Rubens,
who was much faster than me.
178
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,440
[commentator]
Barrichello in third and pushes on.
179
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,680
Jenson is very gentle
with a steering wheel.
180
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,080
So, whenever there was
lower track temperature, he would suffer,
181
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,720
not getting the right
amount of temperature on the tyre.
182
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,560
[Reeves] But can't you just go,
183
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,000
"Okay, I'm going to push it a little bit
more and bring the temperature up"?
184
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,360
[Barrichello]
It's difficult because it is with you.
185
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:36,440
A driver have a way to turn the wheel
that he feels more comfortable
186
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,560
and a way to drive.
187
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,280
[Jenson on radio]
188
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,080
I don't understand what I need to do
to get these things working.
189
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:52,560
That moment where, suddenly,
your performance takes a dip
190
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,440
shakes your confidence a lot.
191
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,400
[commentator] Jenson Button's run is over.
192
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,920
It's Sebastian Vettel
winning at Silverstone.
193
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,680
And here comes Mark Webber.
It's a 1-2 for Red Bull.
194
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:12,040
People in England were already giving
Jenson the cup for the world champion.
195
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,440
They thought it was done.
196
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,160
That gave me strength.
197
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,520
That gave me power to go for it.
198
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,440
[commentator] Barrichello for third,
so Brawn on the podium again.
199
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,960
Massa will take fourth, Rosberg fifth
and Jenson Button sixth.
200
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,520
[engines fade]
201
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,680
[birds chirping]
202
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,200
[Button]
I just felt like a failure at that point.
203
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,600
Finishing sixth.
204
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:40,240
My home Grand Prix in a car
that should have done much better.
205
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,920
Yeah, I just felt broken.
206
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Would you say, for Silverstone,
the fairy tale had ended?
207
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,760
We knew we had some work to do.
208
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,200
[crowd cheering]
209
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,280
Red Bull are now very strong.
210
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:06,680
Suddenly, boom, we managed
to break them on the same conditions.
211
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:07,960
[applause, cheering]
212
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,000
You know, we were then able
to have a car that we could go racing.
213
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,280
[crowd cheering]
214
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,520
The arm wrestler is now going over centre.
215
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,000
It's starting now to swing back
in our favour a little bit.
216
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,560
[applause, cheering]
217
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,280
It's the first race you beat Jenson.
218
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,000
How did that feel?
219
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,440
[Barrichello] I felt that I was on a high.
220
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,800
[applause, cheering]
221
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,120
From now on, uh, I'm unbeatable.
222
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:40,080
[Brawn] Rubens would've been
quite pleased with his performance.
223
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,120
He beat Jenson.
He'd got the most out of the car.
224
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,600
Jenson knew he just didn't get it together
that weekend.
225
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:49,760
It was a disaster,
226
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,320
and I took a while
to get over that race, uh, mentally.
227
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,880
-Because I didn't understand it.
-[shutters clicking]
228
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,720
Now, Formula 1 bosses have reached a deal
229
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,080
to save the sport from a threatened split
by disgruntled teams.
230
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,280
Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
231
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:05,720
[Mosley] Thank you all for coming.
232
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,280
The basic news is that
there will be no split.
233
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,680
There will be one championship in 2010,
234
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,000
which is, I think,
something we all hoped for.
235
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,680
You know, Bernie had to change
significantly his financial terms
236
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,600
in order to not see a breakaway,
so it cost him a fortune.
237
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,560
[Fry] I'm sure Bernie might say
we welshed on the deal.
238
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,320
All I would say is,
when you get people in a corner,
239
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,640
unfortunately,
you have to do what you have to do.
240
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,120
Although it certainly wasn't comfortable
at the time.
241
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,160
Were you there when, like,
you got the call? Or did you hear--
242
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,120
-Well, we can cut-- We cut--
-Like, how did Flavio--
243
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,000
We can cut a long story short.
244
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,720
Bernie did not achieve
what he wanted to achieve.
245
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,760
[Ecclestone] I mean, I travel the world
business-wise on a handshake.
246
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,640
I don't wanna hear about contracts.
247
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,360
Normally, you have to scribble
something down to remind you.
248
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,360
But the minute you've got to take
a contract and do something about it,
249
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,080
you've done a bad deal.
250
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,480
Was it actually the most serious
it had ever been,
251
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,760
in your experience of Formula 1,
252
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,120
that there could
actually be a breakaway series?
253
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,800
I always think, if you're gonna put
a gun to somebody's head,
254
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,320
make sure there's a bullet in it.
255
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,040
And I don't think the teams had a bullet.
256
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,120
Maybe there wasn't a bullet in it,
257
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,720
but maybe they had a shell in their hand.
258
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,520
The teams are to do more
to control their spending,
259
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,400
and Max Mosley will step down as president
of the sport's governing body,
260
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,240
the FIA, later this year.
261
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,560
The teams were always going
to get rid of me in October.
262
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:37,800
Well, they still are.
263
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,880
Whether the person who succeeds me
264
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,960
will be more to their taste than I am,
it remains to be seen.
265
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,440
We won because Mosley understood
266
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:51,440
that with Brawn he went too far,
in term of dictator,
267
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,880
so was better to accept the opinion
of the majority of the teams.
268
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,520
The work of FOTA has been crucial
to have to be all together
269
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,000
and to maintain big teams in Formula 1.
270
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,320
In the end, common sense prevails.
271
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,160
[Reeves chuckles]
272
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,680
So, they get a bigger piece
of the cake, right?
273
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:14,840
Yeah.
274
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,320
A-A little bit like me, they got fatter.
275
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,760
But I've got fatter with a tummy.
276
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,760
-They got fatter in the bank.
-[chuckles]
277
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,560
The cake got divided a bit more evenly.
278
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,200
A bit more in favour of the teams,
279
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,040
and we had peace, or relative peace.
280
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,320
Is it fair to say,
from the outside, in this story,
281
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:40,920
that Silverstone was the end of something
282
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,640
and moving into
the beginning of the doubt?
283
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,720
[Button] It was the beginning of,
"Can we hold it together?"
284
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:54,960
There's a shift.
285
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,400
One, in our confidence,
286
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,160
but just, two, in--
in our pace compared to our competitors.
287
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,400
[commentator 1] The 2009 German Grand Prix
at the Nürburgring is underway.
288
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,720
Can Webber get away?
289
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,240
Can Barrichello come through?
290
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,400
There's a charge down to that
first corner, and Barrichello looks good.
291
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,600
[commentator 2]
Mark Webber was very aggressive
292
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,600
against Barrichello down to turn one.
293
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:25,120
I'd lost him in the mirror, and it just
was beautifully in the blind spot.
294
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,440
Boom, we touched and I was like…
[imitates crashing]
295
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,720
Opposite sides of the circuit.
296
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,120
[commentator 1] Barrichello for Brawn,
into the lead from Webber.
297
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,200
I was still fairly competitive.
298
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,440
I was running so well ahead of Jenson,
299
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,840
but, uh, there were some problems.
300
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,760
[commentator 1] Now, here's
the race leader, Rubens Barrichello.
301
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:46,920
[Clear on radio]
302

[engine revving]
303
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:53,000
[Deane] Rubens came into the pits.
304
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,040
The guy went on with the fuel nozzle.
305
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,120
As he went on,
306
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,280
he clearly wasn't connected,
and there was no delivery
307
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:02,600
coming through to the hose.
308
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,840
I think we lost four or five seconds.
309
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,760
But at that point, when you're standing
there, it seems like an eternity.
310
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,240
[commentator 1]
This is a real battle now for the Brawns.
311
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,440

[Clear on radio]
313
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,240
[commentator 1] It's a 1-2 for Red Bull,
and look at Brawn.
314
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,320
A fifth and sixth. Barrichello and Button.
315
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,560
It's every bit as bad
as they might have feared.
316
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,000
[engine revving]
317
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,240
In the race, you caught Rubens,
but you couldn't pass him.
318
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,480
[Button] Rubens, he's a clever dude.
He knows what he's doing.
319
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,200
He knows where to place the car
so that you can't overtake.
320
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,200
And there's one person
that Rubens doesn't want to overtake him.
321
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,280
It's me. [chuckles]
322
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,480
[Barrichello] After Silverstone,
I was on a high, yeah.
323
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,960
I was running fast.
324
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,320
[engine revving]
325
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,080
Jenson felt you were holding him up.
326
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,240
Did he?
327
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,920
[Button]
328
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,880
Every time I made a move
to dive down the inside,
329
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,480
he immediately would move.
330
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,560
He just covered me off everywhere.
331
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,800
Ross came on the radio
and asked you to let Jenson through.

00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,080
that they ought to be releasing Button
from Barrichello there.
336
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,040
[Clear on radio]
337
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,360
[commentator] So, which one
is coming in first of the Brawn team?
338
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,600
[Clear on radio]
339
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,000
[Barrichello on radio]
340
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,760
[commentator] Barrichello into the pit.
341
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,840
[Button] It wasn't like we were fighting
for the win,
342
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,800
but he knew every single point
he could take off me
343
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,200
would matter for the championship.
344
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,800
[commentator] As we stand,
with Webber from Vettel,
345
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,840
Massa, Rosberg, Button and Barrichello.
Those are the top six.
346
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,320
Jenson Button will still lead,
347
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,200
but his championship lead
will have been cut,
348
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,360
and Sebastian Vettel will be second.
349
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,040
Mark Webber up into third,
and Rubens Barrichello dropping to fourth.
350
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,680
And now it's going to be victory
for Mark Webber.
351
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,800
[Horner] Suddenly, we've got our momentum.
352
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,560
The points gap is… [whooshes]
…is coming down.
353
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,480
It's at that point,
you suddenly start to believe
354
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,560
we can really do this.
355
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,880
[reporter]
Rubens Barrichello, it was going so well.
356
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,040
Where did it go wrong?
357
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,600
Well, I guess it's, uh, on the strategy,
on the pit lane.
358
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,800
Um, it was a good show from--
from the team, how to lose a race today.
359
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,840
[Armstrong]
The frustration was beginning to mount.
360
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,640
Rubens, in particular after Germany,
was very unhappy.
361
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,880
Um, and it's very rare for a driver
to be quite so outspoken against the team.
362
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,880
-He threw the team under the bus.
-He did throw us under the bus.
363
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,760
To be very honest with you,
364
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,920
I wish I can get on the plane
and go back home right now.
365
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,360
I don't wanna talk to anybody in the team
because I don't want to understand.
366
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,560
There will be a lot of
"blah, blah, blah, blah",
367
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:18,960
and I don't wanna hear that.
368
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,040
[reporter] Are you saying
the team are favouring Jenson?
369
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:22,200
No, I'm not saying that.
370
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,360
I'm saying that there was a good show
how to lose a race today.
371
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,440
I'm not saying that they favoured anyone.
372
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,000
Yeah, I remember standing behind him
whilst he was doing the interview,
373
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,920
sort of texting Ross saying,
"Rubens is not happy."
374
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,240
Um, he said, "Send him to me
as soon as he gets back."
375
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,560
So, yeah. There's not a huge amount
you can do to stop that.
376
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,880
You just have to manage the aftermath.
377
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,960
Once he understands how the race went,
378
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,960
then, uh, his-- his view on things
will be a little different.
379
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,800
[reporter 2] Yeah,
we asked him about the debrief,
380
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,720
and he said, "Yeah, I don't want to hear
all this, 'blah, blah, blah'."
381
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,680
Um, what do you make of that?
382
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,480
I think it's a frustrated racing driver.
383
00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:00,720
To be Brazilian in motor sport,
384
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,120
you have no idea the pressure.
385
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,360
We had amazing drivers in the past.
386
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,640
Fittipaldi, two-times world champion.
Nelson Piquet, three-times world champion.
387
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,520
Ayrton Senna, three-times world champion.
388
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,560
[engine revving]
389
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,880
Any driver that came after Ayrton Senna,
the pressure is even higher.
390
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,600
Because, if you are second,
you are nobody.
391
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,120
[Reeves] You were driving with Ferrari
from 2000 to 2005.
392
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,600
You've come runner-up in the championship,
393
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,240
I believe, over the course of the time,
two times.
394
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,320
Yes.
395
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:46,280
[commentator]
We're within a few miles of the finish,
396
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,560
and is Rubens just slowing up
for a formation finish?
397
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,880
Is that man there, Ross Brawn, telling
Rubens Barrichello he has to pull over?
398
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,640
Oh, he's getting very close
to Michael Schumacher,
399
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,600
but Rubens Barrichello comes through.
400
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,360
He's not gonna let Michael through, is he?
401
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,440
No, they're gonna-- Yes, he is!
402
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,160
I do not believe it.
403
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,800
What is going on?
404
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,320
My time at Ferrari,
405
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,280
although it was fantastic
because the team was-- was really good,
406
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:19,840
I saw that I had no--
no room to be what I wanted to be.
407
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,800
[commentator] Michael Schumacher wins
the Austrian Grand Prix.
408
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,800
He doesn't deserve to win it.
That is outrageous.
409
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,880
[applause, cheering]
410
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,120
[Brundle]
Rubens had been through the wringer
411
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,240
as teammate to Michael Schumacher.
412
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,440
And I think he was probably,
psychologically, a little bit wounded.
413
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,840
[commentator] And the winning driver
gives it to Rubens Barrichello.
414
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,560
This was an-- an opportunity for him
to have another chance.
415
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,240
I was, uh, dealing with, uh,
416
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,200
with the fact
that we could not lose points
417
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,120
if we wanted Jenson
to win the championship.
418
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,480
But I didn't care that.
419
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,440
I'm good friends with Jenson,
but I wanna beat him as well.
420
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,840
So you did consider what perhaps
you were asked to do in Ferrari?
421
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,600
-Yes.
-But that situation…
422
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,760
[stammers] That wasn't happening.
423
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,480
[Reeves]
I don't know how you say that in Brazil.
424
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,840
How do you say,
"No more. Not another time"?
425
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,200
[speaking Brazilian Portuguese]
426
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:34,800
So, do you think Rubens was like,
"Who's the number one driver?"
427
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:36,800
-Yeah, the--
-"Am I--"
428
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,640
You know,
"I-I just came from, you know, Ferrari.
429
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,120
-But I don't wanna be number two anymore."
-Yeah.
430
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,160
My approach has always been,
431
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,200
you start the season in the same cars,
same opportunity.
432
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,640
One of you may start to show
433
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,920
you've got a better chance of winning
the world championship.
434
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,080
And as a team,
we're going to support that guy
435
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,520
'cause he'll be our best chance
of winning the world championship.
436
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,520
So that was the principle.
437
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,080
And that principle…
438
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,040
down the road…
439
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:12,280
might get tested.
440
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:13,360
Oh, for sure.
441
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,920
[Reeves] So, after the German Grand Prix,
Jenson Button has 68 points.
442
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,320
You have 44.
443
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:33,160
How big a gap do you emotionally feel
about 24 points?
444
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,200
All I thought
is that I wanted to keep alive
445
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,960
the championship up to the last race.
446
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,000
[commentator] Here comes Barrichello.
447
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,080
[engine revving]
448
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,320
[Barrichello] I remember saying to Jock…
449
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,400
[on radio]
450
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:55,320
[Clear]
451
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,800
[Barrichello]
452
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,720
I remember him saying to me,
"We can't see anything wrong.
453
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:03,800
Just keep pushing."
454
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,600
So, I said, "Jock, it's, uh-- it's
something really wrong. I'm coming in."
455
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,480
[Clear]
456
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,600
[commentator 1]
So Barrichello down in 13th.
457
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,480
[commentator 2]
He won't have time, uh, to repair the car.
458
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:20,960
[commentator 1] So Barrichello's out--
459
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,880
-[commentator 2] Oh, Ferrari.
-[commentator 1] There is Felipe Massa.
460
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,400
[reporter] Down here in the Brawn garage,
something's broken on the rear suspension.
461
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,240
So, an unhappy looking Rubens Barrichello.
462
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,960
[Barrichello] When I saw that I wouldn't
have a chance to go out again,
463
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,840
because they had to reconstruct
the whole back of the car…
464
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,560
I realised there was something wrong.
Felipe crashed.
465
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,360
[reporter] Just looking down at Ferrari,
466
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,080
a bit concerned on the Ferrari pit wall.
467
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,520
[engineer] Apparently, he's had on both.
468
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,600
So maybe there's something--
Something is broken on the front…
469
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,160
[Barrichello]
It was hard to see on the TV,
470
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:07,560
but I remember them, on the radio,
saying something hit his face.
471
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:12,840
[Divey] We get the car back in the garage,
472
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,440
and we see that the back of the car
has collapsed down.
473
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,960
So we start taking the bodywork off,
474
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,040
and we sort of look at things,
and we're like,
475
00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:21,720
"Where's the-- The spring's gone.
476
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,480
But how has the--
how has the rear spring disappeared?"
477
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:29,240
[Brundle]
I remember commentating live on that,
478
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,160
and then somebody in my ear said
there was a piece hit him on the head.
479
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,160
They'd seen from the onboard camera.
480
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,520
And then someone came to me and said,
481
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,280
"That's-- That's the piece
that came out of your car."
482
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,880
[engine revving]
483
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,480
[engine sputtering]
484
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,760
[Brawn] I know it was
particularly distressing for Rubens.
485
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,600
They were very close friends.
486
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,640
[Barrichello] Yeah, I was shaking.
487
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,600
I'm older than Massa.
488
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,080
I need to take care of him.
489
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,720
Wh-What's happening?
490
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,240
[Divey] Everybody straight away,
you start to think,
491
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,640
"Have we done something
or missed something on the car?
492
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,560
Or have we not done something properly
that has allowed this to happen?"
493
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,760
There was a, sort of,
10- or 15-minute period
494
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,240
where you don't really know
what's gone on…
495
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,520
-Right.
-…how it's happened.
496
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,400
And I just remember
everybody just felt so sick and awful.
497
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,800
[helicopter whirring]
498
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,120
[Barrichello] At that point, I wondered,
"Why Massa? Why me?"
499
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,320
[no audible dialogue]
500
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,600
And I saw him screaming
501
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,680
with a lot of blood on his face.
A lot of blood.
502
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,920
[spokesperson] We can just say that
he has been brought to the hospital.
503
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,800
At the moment,
we cannot say anything more.
504
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,600
I had to go to the stewards
and the technical director
505
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,400
and explain what had happened.
506
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,080
The spring came out of the bodywork,
507
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,000
and when you've seen it in slow motion,
508
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:39,560
it's bouncing down the road
ahead of Felipe, and it goes to the left.
509
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,080
Just as he gets there, it bounces back
to the right, right in front of him.
510
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:50,480
It hit him just above his eye socket,
and it was a really scary time.
511
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,800
[Montezemolo] We don't know
if and when he will come back.
512
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,800
And the doctors told me,
"It was a miracle."
513
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,600
Because for one, two, three millimetres--
514
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,160
-Millimetre.
-Yeah.
515
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:15,880
Uh, Massa was very close
to lose completely the eye.
516
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,960
[engines revving]
517
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,360
I have the helmet.
518
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:31,600
[Reeves] You have the helmet?
519
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,320
Nice looking helmet.
520
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,160
It is still with the blood,
so I didn't clean.
521
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,640
The helmet is the same,
522
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,680
with the blood around and--
523
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,520
So, this is actually
what's happened to me.
524
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:48,760
[laughs]
525
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,960
[Reeves]
So the helmet did a pretty good job.
526
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,440
-[Massa laughs] Yeah.
-Right?
527
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,080
And, you know, uh, this helmet is a--
was a carbon helmet.
528
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:02,360
And, uh, maybe three years before,
it would have been completely different.
529
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,800
And after this accident, the FIA,
530
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,120
they made this part of the helmet
a lot stronger.
531
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,040
[Reeves] Mmm.
532
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,840
So now, if it happens again,
the same accident,
533
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,360
the driver will jump off the car
without any problem.
534
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,440
[engine revving]
535
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,760
[McGrory] When the accident happened,
it was horrendous.
536
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,880
Massa didn't race for Ferrari
for the rest of the season.
537
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,520
So, the FIA did
a proper investigation on it
538
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,680
but said that it wasn't the team's fault.
539
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,440
You still feel guilty that something's
happened that's connected to our car.
540
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,640
And so that was hanging over us
for the whole weekend.
541
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,320
[commentator] The two Brawn cars suffered
their worst qualifying hour of the season.
542
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,040
Where is Jenson Button gonna be?
543
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,920
We're about to find out
after these five red lights go out.
544
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,680
They're not being held for long.
545
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,640
-[air horns blasting]
-They're away.
546
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,360
Alonso from Vettel.
Webber's making a great charge there.
547
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,880
Jenson Button's down in ninth.
548
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,680
[Button]
549
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,320
[commentator 1]
Button wide there through 11.
550
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,000
Both Brawns having a terrible start.
551
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,960
Barrichello showing down in 18th place.
552
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,960
[commentator 2] This is going from bad
to worse, currently, for the Brawns.
553
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,280
When you're winning a race and there's
nothing going wrong, well, it's great.
554
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,360
But I always think,
in these-- these very difficult periods,
555
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,760
is where a team gets measured.
556
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,480
[commentator 1] Jenson Button and Brawn
557
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,120
leading in the Drivers'
and the Constructors' Championship,
558
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:39,040
struggling even to score just one point,
and we still have seven races to go.
559
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,280
[Shovlin]
560
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,560
[Button]
561
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,680
The emotions were starting to show.
562
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,920
You know, we'd had this euphoria
of the beginning of the season,
563
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,360
and now it was getting tough.
564
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,080
[commentator] Lewis Hamilton.
565
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,600
He's a winner again.
566
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:02,680
The first time in 2009, the world champion
takes the chequered flag.
567
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,360
Jenson Button coming round
to take seventh place.
568
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,920
Barrichello will be out of the points.
569
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,280
The whole team, including myself,
570
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,560
had to think about
how we were gonna handle this.
571
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:16,920
[cheering]
572
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,560
[Hamilton] We always said
we were six months behind the top guys,
573
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,960
and six months later,
we're back at the front.
574
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,840
[reporter] Ross, I've known you.
I've followed your career for many years.
575
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,920
I haven't seen you looking so down
after a race for quite a while.
576
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,040
Are you all right?
577
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,840
Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, this is a--
It's a problem we've gotta try and solve.
578
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,040
With everything that happened,
I want the weekend to get over.
579
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,600
I just didn't-- didn't feel-- feel good.
580
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,000
[reporter]
Ross, nice, hot track temperatures today.
581
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,200
How are your cars running?
582
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:57,360
[Brawn] Pretty well.
583
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,640
Obviously, the problem of generating
tyre temperature has gone away.
584
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,120
Valencia, European Grand Prix.
585
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,480
[Barrichello] At that time,
586
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:14,320
I got to start practising on Friday
587
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,400
with higher fuel number.
588
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,560
I didn't want Jenson
to pay attention on me.
589
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:27,800
I'm doing really well
with my mental status,
590
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,800
and for me to finish behind him
on Friday and Saturday morning,
591
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:36,000
it meant nothing, because I carry
at least 10 kilos more fuel.
592
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,080
When I came to qualify, I was pretty fast.
593
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,480
-I believe 10 kilograms is three-tenths.
-Exactly.
594
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,800
If I was within three-tenths,
I knew we were on pair.
595
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,360
If I was only two-tenths behind him,
I was in front.
596
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,440
[whistling, cheering]
597
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,120
[Reeves]
Qualification: Rubens, P3. Jenson, P5.
598
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,600
[crowd cheering]
599
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,760
[reporter] In a sense, that's fine for you
if McLaren finish 1-2 tomorrow.
600
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,200
That's absolutely perfect.
601
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,600
Well, maybe on paper, it may be,
602
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,840
but I could tell you Rubens will be
pretty pissed off if they finish 1-2.
603
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,160
Uh, yeah. We're gonna go out there
and try and beat them.
604
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:13,520
I mean, as you're all aware,
Rubens hasn't won a race yet this year,
605
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,160
and his teammate's won six.
606
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:18,520
So, desperate to win a race,
and we're gonna be very aggressive.
607
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,000
[Horner] You can just start to feel
608
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,440
some of the tension that's starting
to brew between the two drivers.
609
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,960
And you can see,
Jenson is starting to tighten.
610
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,960
[commentator]
And we're almost ready to go.
611
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,760
Those red lights alight on the gantry.
612
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,480
They're out,
and away goes Hamilton and Kovalainen.
613
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,440
Barrichello charges forward,
and now Button comes on the inside.
614
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,080
Good start there by Räikkönen,
who's up into fourth maybe.
615
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,600
This has been a shocking start
by Jenson Button, the championship leader.
616
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,760
It all just fell apart.
617
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,000
The only bit of hope that I had…
[chuckles] …it was gone.
618
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,120
Rubens got a great start,
619
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:09,560
and I saw him up the road,
like, five places in front of me.
620
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,160
It's like, "Wow. Okay,
I don't know how that just happened."
621
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,560
[commentator] Hamilton stops,
and Barrichello's through into the lead.
622
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,000
[Clear]
623
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:25,840
[commentator] Rubens Barrichello
624
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,800
is running on rails
towards that chequered flag.
625
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,120
Here he comes then.
626
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,480
He was a winner for Ferrari.
627
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,440
He's never done it for Brawn,
but he has now!
628
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,640
For the first time in five years,
629
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:43,240
Rubens Barrichello
is a winner in Formula 1!
630
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,000
[Clear]
631
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,120
[Reeves]
It's your first win in five years.
632
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:54,320
Yes.
633
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,800
Uh, also that I remember, because it was
the "a hundredth" win for Brazil.
634
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,880
It's an impressive number
for-- for a country like that,
635
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,520
and for me to get the number "a hundredth"
was, uh, was fantastic.
636
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,240
[Barrichello on radio]
637
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,880
[Barrichello speaking on radio,
indistinct]
638
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,720
[Brawn]
639
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,480
[commentator 1] I wonder
if we'll see a few tears on the podium.
640
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,040
He's quite an emotional man,
is Rubens Barrichello.
641
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,760
[commentator 2] And how popular is that?
Look, as he goes down the pit lane,
642
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,440
how many people are applauding.
643
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,000
And there are Ferrari too.
644
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,160
They know him and they love him.
645
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,840
[Brawn] Everybody came out of their garage
and applauded him.
646
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,480
And it almost makes me tearful now,
thinking about it,
647
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,320
'cause it was such a wonderful gesture.
648
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,400
[crowd cheering]
649
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,640
[Reeves]
Is that a highlight of your career?
650
00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:50,600
It's one of the highlights of my career,
for sure.
651
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,240
And it was that race that Lewis came to me
and say, "How did you do it?"
652
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:57,840
-And it--
-Really?
653
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,080
Yeah. Yeah, it was--
654
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,040
You know, to see a true champ
like Hamilton, it was--
655
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,280
-It made me feel special.
-[crowd cheering]
656
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,960
[announcer] Wow, what a happy guy he is.
657
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,560
[commentator]
That is all for Felipe Massa,
658
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,040
and you can see the tears there.
659
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,440
[announcer]
…message he was sending to Felipe Massa.
660
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,920
It was the only race where I paint
the top of my helmet with "Massa".
661
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,360
I was racing for him and for me.
662
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,160
And he won the race. [laughs]
663
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:26,120
-And he won the race.
-He won the race.
664
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:30,680
And he put even a little sticker,
you know, like, honour it to me.
665
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,800
-[crowd cheering]
-[commentator] There he goes.
666
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:34,640
[commentator laughs]
667
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,120
He never disappoints.
668
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,120
[Brawn] Rubens had a dream of a race.
669
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,240
Strategy worked, tyres worked,
670
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,960
and, bingo,
we're back on the top of the podium again.
671
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,920
And it was really what the team needed.
672
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,920
I mean, after those difficult few races.
673
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,840
[crowd cheering]
674
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,520
And, suddenly,
Rubens started to look like a factor now.
675
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:56,760
You know,
he's got the upper hand of Jenson,
676
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,720
and you're thinking,
"Actually, can Rubens catch?"
677
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,040
And you can see him
starting to believe in himself that,
678
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,360
"Maybe I can be the world champion."
679
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,480
Wow. So, that--
that side of the garage was feeling good.
680
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:09,600
[Brawn chuckles]
681
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,680
[crowd cheering]
682
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,200
Yeah. With Jenson, we had to--
we had to find some-- some solutions.
683
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,160
[Button] I didn't know what to think
at this point of the season.
684
00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:23,720
I was like, "Well, I'm--
I'm thinking about the championship,
685
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,320
but am I thinking too much
about the championship?
686
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,920
Am I not thinking about race by race?
687
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,480
Not being aggressive enough?"
688
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,680
I definitely was not
in a good place mentally.
689
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,440
I could feel
the championship drifting away.
690
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,200
And this was everything to me.
691
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,040
[Reeves] Coming out of Valencia,
692
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,000
Virgin breaks the news
693
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:53,600
that they're not going to be moving
forward with Brawn GP for the 2010 season.
694
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,480
[Brawn] Richard wanted a, sort of,
complete sponsorship package,
695
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,840
but the numbers that Richard offered
696
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,560
were nowhere near
what we thought would be realistic.
697
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,800
[Branson] The $2-million deal
became a hundred million dollars.
698
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Generally speaking,
699
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,320
it's unlikely that a team
is gonna have such an incredible streak
700
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,720
two times in a row, so you have to know
when to step out of a deal.
701
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,640
We were a team
hanging on by our fingernails.
702
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,640
We had this amazing start to the season,
but we didn't know where we were going.
703
00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:27,200
It was all very unstable.
704
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,160
We knew we had to do something.
705
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:37,200
I caught wind of the fact
BMW were about to pull out of Formula 1.
706
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:39,640
[engines revving]
707
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:43,280
BMW had a very significant sponsor,
708
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,680
the Malaysian part-state-owned oil company
called PETRONAS.
709
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:54,680
I decided to get the very first plane
the following morning to Kuala Lumpur.
710
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,560
They had no interest
in a relationship with Brawn GP,
711
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,320
but the potential for a relationship
to Mercedes-Benz
712
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:04,960
was a different kettle of fish.
713
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,600
We potentially had a very,
very significant sponsor.
714
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,720
That then puts
a significant amount of pressure
715
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,600
on doing a deal with Mercedes-Benz.
716
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,240
They knew your reputation,
717
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:25,080
but they had some conditions
about results.
718
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,320
Quite frankly, the value of the company
depended on where it finished.
719
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,560
[chattering]
720
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,520
[McGrory] We needed to keep winning
or maintaining our position
721
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,280
on the Drivers' Championship standings
to get the deal done.
722
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,560
[Brawn] That does bring added pressure.
723
00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:45,280
You know that every move you make
is gonna be critical.
724
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,920
[commentator]
This is the king of motor racing circuits,
725
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,160
here in the Ardennes Forest in Belgium.
726
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:58,120
The shortest name with the longest lap
and the biggest reputation.
727
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:03,320
The Belgian Grand Prix, Race 12. Spa.
728
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:04,960
A circuit I love.
729
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,440
Probably, the best circuit in the world.
730
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:11,840
It's fast. It's flowing…
731
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,600
but it doesn't really suit our car.
732
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,960
And I remember just not being able
to get any temperature into the tyres.
733
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,440
And it frustrated me so much,
because I love Spa,
734
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:28,920
and I wanted to have a good result there.
735
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,920
[engines revving]
736
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,920
But I didn't even get in the top ten.
737
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,320
I was 14th.
738
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,920
I mean, if my teammate was alongside me,
it would've been, "Oh, it's the car."
739
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,360
But Rubens was P4 and I was P14.
740
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,520
I was ten places behind him.
741
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,600
I might as well
have not gone out for qualifying.
742
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,760
[engine revving]
743
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,400
[Brundle] You sensed he's starting to look
over his shoulder and feel pressure.
744
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,560
Pressure is an incredible thing,
makes people do things differently.
745
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,520
And-- And, I think, all around,
746
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,280
the pressure was starting
to come on the team and the drivers of,
747
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,120
"Can we hold on to this?"
748
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,080
[engines revving]
749
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,760
[Horner] At this point, you've turned
the page and you're thinking,
750
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:16,400
"Okay, could this be our chance to take on
the Brawn guys and come out on top?"
751
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,080
Yeah, the key is now,
with Jenson being quite a way back,
752
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,040
that we really do as much damage
as possible this weekend
753
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,520
to keep the championship alive.
754
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,080
[commentator]
Jenson Button takes his place.
755
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,800
Worst qualifying of the season so far,
down in 14th.
756
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,840
But it all depends on the start.
757
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,520
He has to get this start right.
758
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:41,760
[Button] Pressure was on.
759
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,360
We had to get a good start
to have any chance of winning that race.
760
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,200
[Vowles] We were hanging on desperately.
761
00:43:50,720 --> 00:43:54,000
And it was clear, if we wanna win,
we've gotta throw all our chips in.
762
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,280
We've gotta go risky
with what we do strategically.
763
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,240
[commentator] We're away.
Fisichella making a good start.
764
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:05,840
Look at Barrichello stopped there.
765
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,520
It's an awful start for Barrichello,
but out comes Räikkönen.
766
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:13,440
[Button] I had a horrific race.
767
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,600
I did four corners before it went wrong.
768
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,400
[commentator 1] Räikkönen on a charge now.
769
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,480
He's gone from sixth to second.
Now he's hunting down Fisichella.
770
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,160
[commentator 2]
He's gone wide across the grass.
771
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:26,960
-[commentator 1] There's a problem there!
-He's been hit.
772
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:29,600
[crashes]
773
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,680
[tyres squealing]
774
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,120
[Button]
775
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,560
[engines revving]
776
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,800
[commentator]
Going from bad to worse for Jenson Button.
777
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,520
He's seemingly out of the race now.
778
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,800
You know,
if you're that far back on the grid,
779
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,280
you're in the middle of the pack,
780
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,440
you know, statistically, you're gonna have
more chance of an accident
781
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,360
than if you're at the front disappearing.
782
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,360
Uh, and so, you know, you kind of make
your own luck in some circumstances.
783
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,040
[commentator] Jenson Button
jumping over the tyre barrier,
784
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,440
and he is out of the race.
785
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:03,720
Dear me.
786
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:06,680
[Button] It was a weird race,
787
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,840
because I didn't finish
for the first time,
788
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,200
and Rubens was in a position
to score points.
789
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:15,840
So I had to watch that,
just hoping Rubens wouldn't win.
790
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,960
[commentator]
So, Barrichello scoring at the moment.
791
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:21,240
Currently seventh.
792
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,000
[Clear]
793
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,480
[Brawn] One reliability problem,
794
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,120
one mistake by a team member,
795
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,360
one adjustment
that's not been done properly,
796
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,600
and, suddenly, you're out of the race.
797
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,200
[commentator 1] Now, look at this.
798
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,200
[commentator 2] Some, uh, smoke
coming out of the back of that Brawn.
799
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,400
Barrichello might just be lucky to get
to the end of the race with that one.
800
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,320
With Jenson out of the race,
we have to make it count now.
801
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,360
[Clear]
802
00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:05,440
[Barrichello] We didn't have
the fastest car by that point anymore,
803
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,800
so I had to take a lot of risks
in that race.
804
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,480
[commentator] Here comes Kimi Räikkönen.
805
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:17,960
He's not won since 2008 in Spain,
but he's done it for Ferrari in Belgium!
806
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,160
And it's third for Sebastian Vettel
in the Red Bull.
807
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:24,080
[engineer]
808
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,400
[Vettel]
809
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,880
[commentator] But what about Barrichello?
Can he nurse this home?
810
00:46:35,720 --> 00:46:38,320
Crawling as he goes,
but he's just managed to take it.
811
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:39,960
He's got there in the end.
812
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:41,480
Barrichello takes seventh.
813
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:42,800
Crucial points for him.
814
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,960
[Clear]
815
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,640
[Brawn] Whilst we were very disappointed
with Jenson's performance,
816
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:56,920
Seb not winning a race and Rubens
scoring points was a relief of sorts.
817
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:04,520
[reporter]
Jenson obviously didn't finish the race.
818
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,600
When we spoke to him,
he was keeping a keen eye on you.
819
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,720
How much rivalry is there between you two?
820
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,120
Uh, it's all right.
821
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,680
Like I said, I don't think
there is a better word for saying
822
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:18,520
that we love each other off the track,
but we hate each other when we're driving.
823
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,920
Rubens scored points,
and, you know, you are happy for him,
824
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,640
because I really like the guy,
but it massively hurts.
825
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:31,240
[reporter] Jenson's nerves have lost him
so many points in the last few races.
826
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,200
What's Jenson have to do in his own mind?
827
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,240
I think, any disappointing race,
828
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,640
a driver has to, sort of,
go back and clear his mind.
829
00:47:37,720 --> 00:47:40,560
And, um, whether it's fighting for
a championship or not,
830
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,440
if you have a bad race,
you're very frustrated.
831
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:43,520
And I'm exactly the same.
832
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,360
If we have a bad race,
it takes me a few days to get over it.
833
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,320
[Brawn] I mean, you go through
these difficult periods in racing,
834
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,880
and you have a few races when
it just doesn't seem to come together
835
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,800
and it suddenly becomes so difficult.
836
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,480
Because, in a motor race,
you only need one thing to happen
837
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:01,720
and that can be the end of it.
838
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:05,560
[commentator] Brawn one and two.
839
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,200
They've done the first part right.
840
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,360
Now, the second part of this race
ahead of them.
841
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,080
[Brundle] Monza was interesting for me,
842
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,600
because, I believe, Ross,
at this point, had said,
843
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,280
"I don't mind which one of them wins."
844
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:21,200
They're free to race.
845
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,720
The team need to win
the Constructors' Championship.
846
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,120
Did drivers give a fuck about
the Constructors' Championship?
847
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,320
Team bosses really care most
about the Constructors' title.
848
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,720
And the drivers care most
about the Drivers' title.
849
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,680
[Shovlin on radio]
850
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,600
Rubens was in front,
and he was a tiny bit quicker every lap.
851
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,760
[commentator] Rubens is wringing the neck
of that Brawn, I'll tell you.
852
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,240
He left nothing to spare
through Lesmo one and two.
853
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,800
And he's pushing for all he's worth.
854
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,880
[Clear]
855
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,720
[commentator] Remember, 16 points
between Barrichello and Button,
856
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,880
going into this race
with 50 still to play with.
857
00:49:13,240 --> 00:49:15,080
[Barrichello]
I felt good about the race track.
858
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,520
You know, I felt good about everything,
859
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,480
because I was fighting
for the championship.
860
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:22,280
I knew I could do it.
861
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:24,720
[commentator]
They're trading blows at Brawn.
862
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,320
There's nothing between them.
863
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,800
[Shovlin]
864
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:38,920
It got towards the end of the race,
865
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,120
and the gap was pretty steady between us,
and I knew I couldn't catch him.
866
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,400
I remember I actually got angry about it.
867
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:48,520
[commentator] The flag falls.
868
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:52,400
The Brawn team has scored a 1-2 victory.
869
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,120
[Clear]
870
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:57,520
[Barrichello cheers]
871
00:49:58,240 --> 00:49:59,760
[commentator] What a way to come back!
872
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:01,480
Brawn on top of the podium.
873
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,400
And Rubens Barrichello is firmly
in the championship picture.
874
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,000
[reporter] Jock, well done.
875
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:09,960
Is that a little emotion
I see in your eyes?
876
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:11,680
Oh, absolutely, Ted. Absolutely.
877
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,720
I mean, basically the last 52 laps
of that race were just hell for me,
878
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,120
just praying
that it was gonna hold together and--
879
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,600
Ah, what a brilliant, brilliant weekend
and great for the team,
880
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,560
and Rubens is just flying at the moment.
881
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,400
[applause, cheering]
882
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:27,680
[Button] We got on the podium.
883
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,200
A P1 and a P2,
but he's obviously done a better job.
884
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:34,080
You know,
I felt like I'd maximised the car,
885
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:35,560
but he's obviously done a better job.
886
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,440
[applause, cheering]
887
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,200
[Clear] Honestly, there's nothing worse
than losing to your teammate.
888
00:50:40,720 --> 00:50:43,000
You would rather lose to the Ferrari.
889
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,560
You'd rather lose to the Red Bull
than you would to your teammate.
890
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,720
And anybody that tells you otherwise
is lying.
891
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,520
[applause, cheering]
892
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,160
[Reeves] You get in the garage,
893
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:58,240
and there seems to be a little issue
about sharing information.
894
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,400
That the race engineers,
in terms of the set-up of the car,
895
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,720
had done differently for their drivers.
896
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,920
Do you know this story at all?
897
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,200
Yeah, very well… [chuckles]
…'cause I had to unravel it.
898
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,960
[applause, cheering]
899
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,960
[Clear] Italy, for me, was memorable,
because it was the only time
900
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,360
that we really fell out
across the engineering table effectively.
901
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:23,480
Did Jock talk about Cambergate?
902
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:24,680
-He did.
-Oh.
903
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,240
Sneaky little fucker.
904
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:27,200
[both laugh]
905
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:35,200
[Reeves] Camber refers to the angle
of the tyres on the car,
906
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:41,040
allowing for more rubber to make contact
with the road in the corners.
907
00:51:43,720 --> 00:51:46,040
This is adjusted before each race,
908
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,600
to best suit the characteristics
of a particular race track,
909
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,440
with the aim of gaining maximum grip
and speed.
910
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,120
[Shovlin]
Bridgestone had brought in a camber limit.
911
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,240
So they said, "You can't run
more than a certain amount."
912
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,120
And Rubens was over this limit.
913
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:06,440
[Reeves]
What advantage would that give you?
914
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:07,920
It gives you more grip, really.
915
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,880
It better distributes the load
when the car is cornering.
916
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:15,400
And Jenson, in the final corner,
lost a bit of time to Rubens
917
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,520
because he had a bit less stability.
918
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,400
And, probably, I went off
down the rabbit hole a bit saying,
919
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,800
"If it wasn't for this,
we would've been ahead."
920
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,880
[no audible dialogue]
921
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:30,080
You have the ability to look at, maybe,
922
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:35,040
up to 15,000 bits of data
coming off the car.
923
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:40,440
But one of the cardinal rules,
is that the engineers share information.
924
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:46,760
And it was suspected,
but they weren't gonna admit it,
925
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,800
that they were hiding data.
926
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,600
[chattering]
927
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,920
[Clear] The bottom line is, we had
a bit more rear camber than they did.
928
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,920
Jenson got to hear about it
and kicked off massively,
929
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,520
which then escalated it to Ross's level,
930
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,000
and Ross had to sit down
and say, "What's going on here?
931
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,440
You're probably taking it a bit too far."
932
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,400
So he wrapped my knuckles a bit.
933
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,240
[Button] If Jock is your engineer,
he's great.
934
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,720
But if he's on the other side
of the garage, Jock is a nightmare.
935
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,600
[Clear] That's when we really
got under Jenson's skin there.
936
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,920
There was still a lot to play for,
and that was actually quite enjoyable,
937
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,720
because you thought, "Yeah,
Jenson is actually worried about us now."
938
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,960
If he's worried about
that eighth of a degree of rear camber,
939
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,200
he is worried about
what Rubens might be able to do
940
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,040
in the next few races
to eat into his lead.
941
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,240
[Brundle] Singapore is such a long race
for the drivers.
942
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:40,960
Qualifying was everything.
943
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:45,120
Your grid position
would set the tone for the following day.
944
00:53:48,240 --> 00:53:50,400
[reporter] Rubens,
is this the closest that you've come
945
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:51,560
in all your years racing
946
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,080
to actually being able
to get your hands onto this championship?
947
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:55,240
Yes, it is.
948
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:59,120
It's been tough, with Jenson winning
the six races at the beginning
949
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,600
and all the pressure and everything,
950
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,520
but I have to keep it calm.
951
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:04,840
Breathe.
952
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,240
I was coming out of Monza with a win.
953
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:10,960
Again, I had my second win
954
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:15,440
in the time that we didn't have
the best car in the paddock.
955
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,280
So, it was a high moment for me.
956
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,800
-[chattering]
-[shutters clicking]
957
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,240
[reporter] Lewis, this time last year,
he was in a similar position to you.
958
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,720
He was a bit more cautious,
because he had a lead to protect.
959
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,600
Does that enter into your mind at all?
960
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:30,120
Um…
961
00:54:30,720 --> 00:54:32,120
It works for Rubens as well.
962
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:33,680
You know,
he's the guy that's gotta catch me.
963
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,480
[commentator 1]
Here's the championship leader.
964
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:39,800
Fourteen points clear
of Rubens Barrichello.
965
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:41,680
Needs a clear head. A cool head.
966
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,280
[commentator 2]
A lot of pressure on Jenson Button now.
967
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,960
[Button]
968
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,240
[Shovlin]
969
00:54:58,040 --> 00:54:59,400
[Button]
970
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,160
[Clear] Jenson wasn't having a good day.
971
00:55:06,240 --> 00:55:09,120
For him,
the car feels like it's falling apart.
972
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,920
But all that is, is that you're now trying
to drive it faster than it wants to go.
973
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,240
The car hasn't got that bad.
974
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,320
What's got bad
is what's going on in your head.
975
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:18,720
What the heck's going on?
976
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,880
-[Button] What the heck is going on?
-Is it just the tyres?
977
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:22,400
I think I was overdriving the car.
978
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:26,240
You know,
I wasn't driving with my normal style.
979
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:30,240
I'd brake a little bit late
or get on the throttle a little early
980
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,800
to try and make up time,
but, like, I always just went slower.
981
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:35,160
You know, it just didn't work for me.
982
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:38,320
[commentator] There's Vettel again.
983
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,280
Setting the fastest time
through the first sector.
984
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:44,360
[engineer]
985
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,320
[Barrichello]
Jenson was feeling the pressure.
986
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:52,560
I wasn't.
987
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:53,960
I was just on a roll.
988
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,280
[Clear]
989
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,240
[Barrichello]
990
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:03,360
[Clear]
991
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,320
[commentator] He's really hustling
that Brawn, far harder than Button.
992
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,280
This is looking mighty.
993
00:56:11,240 --> 00:56:12,240

00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:17,600
[Barrichello]
996
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,600
That wasn't good, because I would have
qualified even higher.
997
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:29,400
And the overconfident Rubens didn't--
didn't bring, uh, dividends.

00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,320
[engines revving]
999
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,320
[commentator] This weekend may change
the complexion of the title race.
1000
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:40,080
Webber and Vettel through,
but look at that name in P12.
1001
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:41,200
Jenson Button.
1002
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:51,560
I remember finishing my lap
and then being told my position.
1003
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:54,920
[Shovlin]
1004
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,080
[Button]
1005

[Shovlin]
1006
00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:02,400
[Button]
1007
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:07,640
[Button] But that feeling
1008
00:57:07,720 --> 00:57:13,480
of just not doing the job I was
supposed to do in qualifying really hurt,
1009
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:14,960
and I was embarrassed.
1010
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:19,040
I felt that the whole world
was watching me and watching me fail.
1011
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,440
[commentator] Time and miles running out
for Jenson Button.
1012
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,600
The wheels are coming off
Jenson's championship crusade here.
1013
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:30,640
The pack have caught up.
1014
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:35,200
They've no longer got a dominant car.
They've not even now got the fastest car.
1015
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,480
-[engine revs]
-[commentator] Dropped right off Vettel.
1016
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,120
Nine seconds back almost.
1017
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:44,520
It is now a question
of surviving the rest of the season.
1018
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,760
[commentator] Lewis Hamilton wins
for McLaren in Singapore.
1019
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,680
Sebastian Vettel in fourth,
but where are the Brawns?
1020
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:54,480
-[Reeves] Rubens, P6. Jenson, P5.
-Yep.
1021
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:56,240
We scored some points.
1022
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:57,760
That was a relief.
1023
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,920
Everybody was counting down the races
till the end of the season.
1024
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,200
It was a very uncomfortable atmosphere,
1025
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:09,320
because we were scared
that we were losing this championship.85687
