-Ooh, bad Iuck. -Come on.

I will take that bonus check though.

Sonny. Sonny! Just hear me out.

Look, I wanna bring you on board.

Right here, next year, let's run it back.

We did it, man . Deal's a deal .

I-I know what a deal is.

So that's it? One and done?

I appreciate the seat, Chip. I really do.

What kind of way is that to race?

You just spend your whole Iife starting over, man.

You take care.

Um, no.

You know, you remind me of this friend I used to have.

Which friend?

Friend who dressed better.

This is a Gucci suit.

So's this.

Huh. What did your friend do?

Drove cars.

-Was he fast? -Wasn't slow.

-Did he win? -[inhales sharply] Yeah, he did .

-Come here, you son of a bitch. -[laughs]

Oh , God .

[friend] Are you thinking Baja?

[Sonny] Yeah . New day, new challenge.

That's exactly what I said to myself when I bought Apex GP.

-["The Stroke" playing on radio] -[groans]

How deep in the hole are you?

I'II tell you, but you have to promise not fo laugh .

Shoot.

350 ...

million .

Don't Iaugh .

Impressive.

Well , been fun?

Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

Whaf's the problem then?

Problem is two seasons and a half, zero poinfs.

My best driver Ieft for another feam .

He said the car was a shitbox.

[Iaughs]

The team is in Iast place.

My number two's a rookie.

And the season's half over.

-How many races Ieft? -Nine.

And if we don't turn it around , I Iose the team.

-What? -Mmm.

But you own the team.

No race wins in your first three seasons, the board can force a sale.

Man , sounds Iike you need a new board .

I need a new driver.

[Iaughs]

[Sonny] You got F2. You got F3.

You got an entire assembly Iine of kids raised on the simulator.

No, I don't have time for some kid to Iearn how to come in tenth . I don't.

Well , you don't just walk off the sfreet and pilot a rockef.

Yes, you can if you've done it before. Thaf's the whole point.

Louis Chiron was 5I years old when he won fhe Monaco Grand Prix.

-Louis who? -Philippe Étancelin , 56 years old .

You just Googled these names, didn't you?

Some people Iook af Sonny Hayes, they see a guy who lives in a van,

a gambling junkie who missed his shof.

Wow, Ruben , you are really sellin9 this.

But I see a guy who makes teams better.

-I see experience. I see know-how. -Mmm.

[Iau9hs] You're off your meds.

My rookie's a phenomenal talent. Phenomenal . But he's young .

You know what he Iacks? Maturity.

You plus him?

Boom. I got a team.

[Sonny] AII right. Let's say I'm the next Louis...

-Chiron. Mm-hmm . -Him.

The problem is it's not just the driver, it's the car.

I've followed your season , Ruben.

"Shitbox" is being kind.

I knew you were watching .

What if I told you we 9et an upgrade package this weekend?

-Six monfhs in development-- -Ruben ...

No, no, no. Waif.

I just need one of my cars across the finish Iine first. One.

I Iove ya. I'm not going back.

[sighs]

Okay.

What would he want you to do?

[chuckles]

[Sonny] Join a boy band?

Seriously. Come on .

Seriously, I'd ask him what he's smiling about.

Come on .

He's smilin9 at fhe possibility.

We both know how that ended .

Yep.

Okay.

-This is a firsf-class ticket to London . -Oh, my God .

First class.

I'm offering you an open seat in Formula 1 .

The only place you could say for one day,

if you win , you are the absolute best in the world .

-Hey, Ruben . -Mmm.

-Ever seen a miracle? -Not yet.

Me neither.

Good to see you, amigo.

-AII right, sweetie, here you go. -Thank you .

-Mm-hmm. -Hey, let me ask you something .

CIose friend of yours made you an offer that was 1 00o/O, positively

too good to be true.

What do you do?

[si9hs] Well, how much are we talking?

Not about the money.

So what is it about?

Hmm.

[sighs] I don't know what's happening. I mean, it feels good . I start to push .

Then it understeers in the slow corners and oversteers fhe fast.

What? On entries or exits?

Either. Both .

Oh , great. Yeah.

There's 1 0,000 sensors on this thing and you can't tell me what's going on .

Joshua.

-Hi . -Lisbeth . PR?

-Oh, yeah. -Doesn't matter.

For fhe press conference, we want to steer around tech issues

and focus on the super stron9 bond with your new teammate, Luca Cortez.

[Iau9hs] Luca?

Who I've known a week.

Who when he was third banana on the Ieft at Red Bull ,

told the press he fhought Joshua Pearce was overrated .

That Luca Cortez?

Yes.

-[chuckles] Can't wait. Yeah . -AII right. Great. Thank you .

-Yo. -Yep.

That's a yes? Yeah? Yes? [groans]

[Joshua] What's up?

Yo, you were right, bro.

Ruben's in big trouble. He might have to sell the feam .

-[snaps fingers] -I knew it.

And what does that mean for me?

New buyers, they're likely to clean house.

Lisfen.

You need to show these people who the number one driver really is, man .

Now.

Or you're gonna Iose your job.

Yeah . Let that sink in .

[speaking German]

-[in English] Hey. -[parent, speaking German]

You good?

Okay, let's take the first half of the season

and erase it from our minds.

[crew cheers]

Someone says, "Kaspar, whaf happened this year?"

I swear on the Iives of my children , I do not freaking know.

[Iaughs]

There's only this car.

And there is only our future.

[crew exclaiming] Yes. Our future.

[Kaspar] Who is that asshole?

He's with me.

Your man thought I was maintenance. Senf me to the back gate.

[Ruben chuckles]

Brother, you have never Ief me down.

-[chuckles] Well, there's still time. -[chuckles]

Apex GP!

Sonny Hayes. He raced with me back in the day.

-Against you, you mean . -Yeah .

-Kate McKenna, our technical director. -Hi .

-Dodge Dauda, our chief mechanic. -Hi .

And Kaspar Smolinski , team principal.

You may know him by reputation .

Five-time Constructors champion wifh Ferrari .

Huh.

As a rear jack man .

So was my pop. Can't win without 'em.

-And our talented rookie, Joshua. -Why has he got a helmet?

-Uh , safety? -[chuckles]

Joshua, your seat is safe. Okay?

Sonny is here for the audition.

When was the Iast time you won a race?

Sunday. Daytona.

Oh, I'm sorry. I-I meant Formula 1 .

Oh, I'm sorry. Then same as you .

-[Iaughs, exclaims] Wow. -[chuckles]

Never thought I'd say this, has anyone seen Luca Cortez?

-[chuckles] -Sidebar hittc, Ruben .

When I interview with you , many veteran drivers--

Yeah, who all turned you down .

-How many? -Seven .

-That's a lot. -I'm number seven?

-Mm-hmm. -You're eighf.

This is a disaster.

Starting to feel more Iike a nine.

Technically, there is one who I've not heard from yef.

-[stammers] -So I am a nine?

You know how numbers work, right?

I n business, my most inspired ideas come Iate.

Yeah . Best things in life usually arrive ninth, right?

With respect, Ruben , I cannot condone we spend our only test day

giving your Iong-Iost teammate an audition .

Kaspar, you misunderstand .

We're not auditioning him . He's auditioning us.

That's your new driver.

Good luck.

New wing, new side pods.

Any changes to the floor?

Nothing the eight other drivers wouldn't have figured out.

Thaf's why they call me Lucky Number Nine.

Listen , it's been a while since you've driven here, mate. Yeah?

The balance on these cars are tricky, so be careful turn one and nine.

Wouldn't want to see you get hurt.

How about we set a reasonable target?

Give me the same setup as him. If I can't post a lap time within a second of JP's,

then I will promptly see myself out

and you're free to take a shot at lucky number ten .

-Ten? -Ten.

Ten .

Who's JP?

[rock music playing]

Cross round on Brooklands, easy on Luffield .

Up to Woodcote, hard out in Copse.

And be careful on the curve.

Mysterious moves at Apex GP,

who have finally announced the driver who will take their second seat.

And in a bizarre twist, it's Amcrican Sonny Haycs,

who hasn 't raccd in Formula 1 for ovcr thrcc dccadcs.

Son of an lndyCar mcchanic,

Haycs was considcrcd somcthing of a rccklcss young phcnomcnon,

the grcatcst who ncver was.

His formcr carccr bcing brought to an ahrupt halt

by a horrific accidcnt at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Hc rcappcarcd a dccadc later in racing championships

as divcrsc as Lc Mans, NASCAR, thc Dakar Rally,

and cven a stint as a New York taxi drivcr.

-Oh , no. -[crowd applauding]

[Will Buxton] But now he's hack racing for a team which has,

in its cntire F1 history, ncvcr cvcn finishcd in thc top ten.

None of this will dampen spcculation

that majority sharcholdcr Ccrvantcs Capital arc looking to scll thc tcam.

And if thcy do, that will likcly also hring an cnd

-[manager] That's the one. -[Joshua's mom] Huh .

-[music ends] -That's the other driver?

Yep. Thaf's him and his sfupid face.

But, wait, you said he was old . He not that old .

[manager] Hey, Josh.

You want a next shot anywhere?

Nine races means nine times you have to beat Chuck Norris.

For now, start by winning over the press.

-Yeah? You ready? -Mm-hmm.

Cool . Let's go.

-[sighs] -Mmm.

That's a handsome man right there. [chuckles]

[Will Buxton] Joshua. Hey. Um, it's been an undeniably messy start to your season .

No wins, car problems throughout, and now you have another new teammate.

How exactly are you finding it?

Messy start doesn't mean you can't finish neat. AII ri9ht?

Apex have a fire crew of engineers, so I'm confident we'II come back fightin'.

I n ferms of new teammates,

I think it's really wonderful that Apex are giving second chances to the elderly.

[all laugh]

Ah , yes. Next question . Thank you. Yes, Don . Yeah.

Mr. Hayes. Hi . Don Cavendish. Um, welcome back to the UK.

It's been a while, mmm?

I mean, Iast time you raced at Silverstone,

Bill CIinton was your president, and we were all dancing the Macarena.

-So, uh , it must be surreal to be back. -[reporters Iaugh]

Yeah .

And , uh, during that decade, you gave up racing ,

and , uh , gambled professionally?

Uh-huh .

Yeah . Just checking, Joshua. Just checking .

-What's wrong with his car? -What? Nothing.

[Brundle] With a clcar track ahead,

Hayes has bccn ablc to push much hardcr on this formation lap.

Hcrll turn up at thc hack of the grid with warm tircs, rcady to go.

Cheeky shit. It's on purpose.

What is this guy doing?

[Croft] This is actually now turning into an advantagc for Sonny Haycs.

[Brundle] And hc's just madc it in timc. Watch out for his start.

[Croff] Fivc lights ahead of thc drivcrs. It's lights out and away wc go!

[crowd cheering]

Haycs is just sailing past peoplc.

Hc's movcd up scvcn placcs sincc thc start.

-Apcx GP has strugglcd with this car. . . -Yes!

...but thcy'vc hrought an upgradc packagc this wcckcnd.

Lct's sce if it makcs a diffcrcncc as Haycs attacks Pcrcz in thc Rcd Bull.

Car's bouncing around this dirty air. I can't position to atfack.

[Brundle] Haycs complaining about his car ovcr thc radio.

That's not what thc team wants to hcar.

Copy. Gap is 0.9 to Perez. You're within DRS range.

Should hc ahlc to takc him on thc ncxt straight.

[Croft] Haycs now using thc drag rcduction systcm to gct past.

-[cheering] -Yeah!

Won't be able to hold him off, guys. I got no grip.

-This is trouhlc now forApcx GP -Oh , come on .

Thc Rcd Bull's tircs arc now warm

and Haycs hasn 't got his tirc advantagc from the start anymorc.

We'vc scen the attack. Now it's all about dcfensc.

And Pcrcz on thc attack into Valc.

Haycs is in troublc. This could bc the placcs rcvcrscd.

-[crowd cheering] -And it is.

Damn.

Rear end is Ioose. Tell me if you see a fix.

Tell him to pull back the entry to get a better exit.

He-He thinks it's the setup. It's not.

[Croff] Twcnty laps down.

Vcrstappcn lcads but Joshua Pcarcc is struggling out thcrc at the momcnt.

Guys, get me off these soffs. I'm going backwards.

Copy that. Lap 20. Box, box.

[Brundle] Stakcs couldn 't bc highcr for rookic Joshua Pcarcc.

This is not whcrc you want to hc, in last placc.

[groans] I'm jammed . Back up!

Hit something. What was that?

[crowd shrieks]

[Croff] Ooh, a scvcn-sccond pit stop.

Apcx OP won't he happy with that.

Thatrs douhlc thc timc it should'vc takcn.

Lost the rears. Box, box.

Copy. Go to plan B. Box, box.

[Croft] And hcrc comcs Sonny Haycs for a frcsh sct of tircs.

Hc'll hc hoping thcse will hclp him hold on to his currcnt position of P15.

Front jacks! Front jacks!

[Brundle] Thc frontjack has not workcd propcrly.

-You're kidding me. -This is causing ahsolutc pandcmonium

in thc Apcx GP pit lanc.

Whatcvcr could go wrong is going wrong for this team.

[Croft] And coming out of thc pit, Haycs just ahcad of his tcammatc.

As Pcarcc and Haycs go hattling it out hcrc at Silvcrstonc.

Coming for you , old man .

Got the pace, man. Tell him to let me pass.

Yeah. Copy. Hold position. Stand by. Kate.

Josh is faster. Sonny is on cold tires.

Yeah, okay, Sonny, no fighting. Let him through.

Sonny, no fighting .

Who's fighfing? I'm racing.

[Croft] Pcarcc on thc insidc, Haycs on thc outsidc.

[Brundle] Haycs trying to makc him cat concrctc

up against thc old pit wall thcrc.

Joshua, you're gonna have to fight for position .

You arc racing Sonny.

A-ffirm .

[Brundle] Thcy'rc giving ahsolutcly no quartcr.

No bcnefit to thcir teammatc at all.

Thcy'rc pushing as if thcy'rc trying to win a Grand Prix.

[Croff] But this is thc hattlc for last place, rcmcmbcr?

And what a hrawl it is.

Let's go, kid. Bring it.

What is this guy doing? Let me through .

[crowd cheering]

[spectators gasp]

[Croff] Round thc final corncr.

It's closc!

Thcy makc contact.

-Both Apcx GP cars into thc gravcl, -[Sonny grunts]

and Pcarce hits thc harricr.

[crowd clamorin9]

-Ah , no! -No!

[Brundle] This is mad.

Thc cardinal sin of motor racing.

-A doublc DNF -[Ruben groans]

Just whcn it couldn 't gct any worsc for thc hlack and gold.

-[Peter] That's a tough one, man. -[mutters, sighing]

[crowd shrieking, booing]

We can't corner.

We're bouncing around the place like we're on the bloody Tube

and now we fhink it's cool to Ieave wheel guns in the pit box.

Who even was that?

-That was me. -Of course.

OId man.

You Iosing your hearing? What was thaf?

You wanna do this here?

Yeah, I'd Iove to do this here in front of the team, right.

The one that you're apparently a part of.

-Okay. You made a mistake. It happens. -[laughs]

I made a mistake. I Iove this guy, man .

-Don'f worry about it, Jodie. -Are you even Iistening to me?

-Not really. -[Kaspar] No!

Stop.

Joshua is right.

An order is an order.

May I remind you that you report to me?

Cool .

Just don'f ask me to give up position.

Sorry. Sorry, guys.

Hold up.

You swan into our garage Iike some entitled prick.

-"Swan"? -Calling us piss poor...

-Whaf's "swan"? -. . .and then you drive Iike thaf. Huh?

You said I "swan ." What's that mean?

You. You're an arsehole. You come in like an arsehole. You swan .

So swans are assholes?

You're making the mistake of thinking that I'm just gonna be some grateful kid

who'll bend a knee to an old-timer.

I climbed a mountain to get here, bro.

Formula 1 .

Back home we call that a participation trophy.

[reporters] Joshua, Joshua! Josh!

[clamoring]

[chuckles] Yeah.

What the hell are you smiling about, man?

Did you win something?

There's 20 other drivers still out on that track

and you're in here posing for that nonsense.

Do you think any of them respect us? Do you?

They need to Iearn that no one gets past us without a fight.

No one.

You don't Iike the way I'm driving? Beat me, swan .

Hell of a race, huh?

Whoo!

[breafhes deeply]

Sorry, I didn't see you . Um . . . [si9hs]

[sighs] You still beating yourself up?

Yeah .

Yeah, I know that one. [chuckles]

Um, thanks for what you said out there.

Just don't do it again, okay?

Makes me Iook Iike I need help.

Oh, man . You're right. [sighs] Got it.

Hey, for what it's worth, don't be shitty to yourself.

There's plenty of people ouf there fhat'II do that for you .

Yeah .

[sighs]

"I'm sorry, Ruben, for demolishing not one but both of your Iovely cars.

For coming back into your Iife only to destroy if."

Is this your revenge for Monaco?

Yeah , I waited 30 years

and came all this way to humiliate myself on global television .

Funny. You think I brought you in to make my other driver quit?

Listen , he's cocky. He's arrogant. He's got a Iof to Iearn.

[Iaughs]

You were cocky, you were arrogant and you had a Iot to learn.

I'm not here to hold anyone's hand . I'm here to race.

No, you're not, Sonny. You're here to give me a heart attack.

The board is up my ass

and I have to decide whether to continue this fiasco

-or pull the plug now. -You have till the end of the season .

By which time Apex will be worth Iess than my shoes!

Sonny! God ...

Tell me about Kate.

The car. I wanna talk to her about the car.

She's the world's first female tech director of an F1 team .

I mean , that takes balls.

Wow. Is that your Iine?

She'II see right through it.

It's not a Iine.

-I'm sorry. Sorry. -Is she married?

Okay, stay there in that tub of ice until Budapest.

You don't move.

Hey, Ruben ...

We can't get there with this car.

[sighs]

Hey. Hey.

Yeah , sorry. Hi, hi , hi.

What you working on?

I'm working on a new front wing concept. Trying to pick us up a tenth or so.

Cool . And you can replicate turns? Lateral airflow?

No, jusf straight line drag .

But, I mean, we can calculate it from there.

Okay, what about turbulent air from a car we're following?

No, not exactly, but--

Track conditions, surface quality, weather, ambient temps?

[chuckles] I'm sorry, uh, is there something that you wanted to discuss?

Kate, you read my mind .

So how does one get to be the first female fechnical director of an F 1 team?

Must take...

dedication and Iots of hard work.

-That's your urgent question? -Hmm? Mm-mmm.

PIenty of people think I don't belong here and I'm happy to add you to the Iist

if you're implying what I . . . I think you're implying.

As a rule, I don't imply stuff.

So you like straight talk?

Straight as an arrow. No sugar.

Everyone thinks Ruben's lost it.

That he is clutching at straws.

They're saying maybe he Iost a bet.

-Ran over your dog. -[chuckles]

They're sayin9 Sonny Hayes isn't a has-been .

He's a never-was.

Yeah, when I said I like straight talk I meant me.

From others, I mostly prefer praise, flattery, hero worship,

at times, straight-up bullshit.

-Is that what Ruben's for? -[laughs]

Ruben . I Iove the guy. Most solid, steadfast--

Said you asked if I was married .

Disloyal, mean , twisted, bitter, husk of a man .

Mmm, yeah . And he also told me about a big string of ex-wives and girlfriends.

He said to avoid you Iike the plague.

Okay. . . [chuckles] . . . Ief me explain this.

When you're going 200 miles per hour into Eau Rouge,

it's good fo know who's got your back.

And for the record , in all my years of racing,

I have never ever hit on the team technical director.

[smacks lips] Well , now that's a huge weight off my mind .

So what's this urgent question?

Okay.

Red Bull , Ferrari , Mercedes, Aston , now McLaren

all have us beat on straight Iine speed .

Our shot is baftling in the turns.

I need a way to chase through the dirty air.

You want me to redesign so you can follow closer?

We need to build our car for combat.

Uh , how am I supposed to make that safe?

Who said anything about safe?

That's your question?

Yeah .

And here's the straight talk.

It's urgent.

[scoffs]

You know, I bet when you look in the mirror,

you see this rough-and-tumble, old school, no bullshit cowboy.

Doesn't take orders. Goes his own way. Huh?

A lone wolf.

Well , I have news for you.

Formula 1 is a team sport. It always was.

And maybe that's why you failed at it.

The only question here is, "Why did Sonny Hayes come back to F1 ?"

Now that question is extremely fucking urgent.

I'II start Iistening to you when you finish a race.

[brakes hiss]

[Buxton] At thc Spanish Grand Prix, thc Amcrican rookic Sonny Haycs

hadjust signcd a ncw contract, and his futurc lookcd vcry hright.

Hc'd carncd a reputation for his aggrcssivc driving stylc.

Sccn by somc as rccklcss, it ncverthelcss scrved him wcll

as hc climbcd up thc ordcr ovcr thc coursc of thc scason,

rclcntlcssly pursuing his first F1 victory.

Haycs was running wcll in thc opcning laps,

chasing down racc lcadcrAyrton Scnna.

Howcvcr, whcn Haycs madc a risky move

and attackcd Scnna on thc outside of a high-spccd right-hand turn,

a frightcning sccnc unfoldcd as quick as a flash.

[commentator 1 ] My goodness! ljust saw him plungc off to thc right.

Thcrc you can scc thc debris on thc right.

What on earth happcncd thcrc, l don 't know.

[commentator 2] Ycs, this looks vcry scvcrc indccd.

I must say, it looks likc, uh, hc is. . . hc rcally nccds hclp.

Thcre is nobody coming to him at thc moment.

Thc racc has hecn stoppcd. Thc rcd flag is out.

This looks a littlc bit likc a--

[Kate] Our models predict all teams are gonna be targefing a one-stop race.

PIan A is to switch from mediums to hards, between Iap 2I and 33.

PIan B will be medium-hard-medium , first window 1 6 to 21 , second , 45 to 51 .

Plan C for softs doesn't make sense.

At this temp, the fire deg will be too high .

Nothing else?

-Yep. -Yeah , Joshua?

So, we've just got to drive our race, all right?

Let's not try and be heroes.

Just make it through those first turns clean .

Can't win at Iap one, startin9 at fhe back,

so we just gotfa hope for some lucky breaks Iater on, all right?

-[crew member] Yeah . -Yeah .

Create your own breaks.

Um , hello, hi? I just said that.

Hope is not a strategy.

Anything else, Professor?

Um . . . [sighs]

Drive fast?

-[crowd cheering] -[timer beeps]

[timer stops]

[Croff] It's lights out, and away wc go.

Grcat start from Hamilton, Vcrstappen hattling with him.

Piastri, Zhou, Leclcrc. . . and hcrc comc thc two Apcx GPs.

But Gasly shuts thc door, lcaving thcm with nowhcrc to go.

Into turn onc, and therc 's thrce cars gonc off.

Gasly, Ocon, and thc Alpha Tauri, Tsunoda.

[Sonny] Hit debris. Check my tires.

Yeah, you've got a puncture. Right rear. Box. Box this Iap.

First goddamn turn . A ruined race.

[Sonny] Oh , shit, shit, shit. Ah, shit.

He's coming in! Let's go.

[Sonny] Let's go PIan C.

No, Plan C is for soft tires. They won't Iast ten laps in this heat. No.

That's a negative, Sonny. PIan A.

[Sonny] PIan A is called PIan A 'cause it's when everything is going right.

You see anything going righf?

PIan C. Softs.

It's not his call . Tell him A, as in "asshole."

Okay, Iet's go! Turn 'em out! Hard tires.

[Sonny] Soffs, goddamn it.

-Whaf's wrong with the car? -The 9uy sitting in it.

Are you insane? We need hard tires. Everybody here is at a one-stop race.

[Sonny] We do what everybody does, we Iose.

-Make him go! -How?

You think I don't know my tires? I was a mechanic.

Five championship titles with my bare freaking hands!

Give him his tires.

-[Hugh] Okay, Iet's go. -Go, go, change!

Let's go, Iet's go! Change quick, now!

[Sonny] Be ready.

Ready for what?

-Where's JP sitting? -[Hugh] Currently running P14.

[Sonny] AIl right, here we 9o now.

[Croft] Haycs makcs his movc,

chasing Kcvin Magnusscn. lt's a latc lungc!

[Brundle] Hc's damaged his front wing.

Any drivcr knows Magnusscn will shut thc door on a clumsy movc likc that.

[Sonny] Aw, dagnabbit.

PIan C for "chaos."

[chuckles]

[Croff] So that will hring out a safcty car, which always shakes up a race.

Slows down thc lcadcrs, Icavcs thc ficld bunchcd up togcthcr,

and givcs tcams thc chancc for a quick pit stop,

which only costs half thc usual timc.

[Joshua] Safety car. We're boxing , right?

Standby. Kate,

shouldn't we take advantage while the safety car window is open?

It's early. We gain track position if we stay out.

[Rico] Stay out, stay out. Want you out. Push, push, Joshua.

[Brundle] So, thc midficld movcs up for thc momcnt,

including Joshua Pcarce to P12.

[Joshua] This guy better not be messing up my race.

Where's JP now?

Currently running P 1 2.

Okay. Plan C. Be ready.

He's gonna do it again .

[Croff] Back markcr Hayes is now down a lap.

Hc has to lct Bottas pass, or facc a fivc-second pcnalty.

[Brundle] Haycs is making it very difficult for Bottas.

Undcr thc rules hc has to let him through hcforc passing thrcc hluc flags,

or risk a pcnalty.

Hey, I'm just putting it out there, but, uh, maybe you should drive.

[Hugh] Sonny, you'vc gottcn thc bluc flag. Lct Bottas through.

[Sonny] Come on , now. Little closer.

[Hugh] Sonny, do you copy?

[Sonny] I hear ya. Lettin' him through .

Whoops, my bad.

[Croff] And that's his front wing again!

Oh, that's gonna bring out anothcr safcty car.

Givcn that each wing costs morc than £200, 000,

l think the tcam might want Sonny to start chipping in thcrc.

[chuckles]

[Joshua] Guys, it's another free stop. PIease tell me we're boxing .

[Rico] Uh, we're checking.

-Keep him out. -Stay out. Stay out. You are staying out.

[Croft] Morc driVcrs comc in to takc frcsh tircs,

but still, Joshua Pcarcc rcmains on track. Hc's movcd up to P11.

Look who's back.

I know, I know. Be ready.

What is he doing?

I think he's trying to score us a point.

[Sonny] Tell J P to save his tires.

Joshua, just take care of your tires, okay?

You have to make them Iast.

[Joshua] Last? No shit. I will be.

[Brundle] With four laps to go in this stop-and-go race,

thanks to Sonny Haycs,

thc drivcr hclpcd most is his tcammate, now in tcnth.

With a 12-sccond gap ahcad of Stroll.

Tell J P to maintain that gap.

Kccp pushing.

[Joshua] My tires are gone, man. What are you waiting for?

Copy that. We have to call it.

He's Iosing over a second every Iap.

Stand by.

[Croff] Into turn two. Haycs battlcs with thc Williams and pushcs it widc.

Seriously, what are we waiting for?

[Croff] Sonny's off the track.

Hc's gonc too far ovcr. [groans]

And that's gonna causc damage.

-Plan C. -[laughs]

Oopsie. Sorry, guys.

[Croft] That's thc third safcty car involving thc Apcx GP driver,

bringing the Hungarian Grand Prix to an ahsolutc crawl.

A sub three-second stop, and he'II keep P1 0.

Box, Joshua. Box, box, box.

[Joshua] Copy. Coming in .

Whaf did you say?

[Brundle] Joshua Pcarcc finally gets to pit.

[Croff] And with a quick stop hcrc, hc could stay in thc top tcn.

[grunts]

[Brundle] This is critical.

Pearcc must bcat Stroll to the pit cxit linc to maintain tcnth placc.

[Croff] And hc's done it!

With ycllow flags out, all thc cars arc forccd to hold track position,

-mcaning that thanks to Sonny Haycs. . . -[Joshua] Let's go!

- . . .Thc racc cnds undcr a safcty car. -Yeah!

-Vegas! -What? Whoa!

Hey, yeah . Fuck you. [Iaughs]

Yeah! [Iaughs, grunts]

Yes, baby!

[crowd cheering]

[Joshua chuckles] You're crazy, bro.

[Sonny] It's just tenth. What are you smiling about?

[Croft] And bchind our podium placings,

Hamilton and Piastri complctc thc top fivc,

-and Joshua Pcarcc in tcnth . . . -Wow.

- . . .Scoring Expcnsify Apcx GP... -Yeah , baby.

...their first cvcr point.

Did you see me? Crazy, right?

-[Sonny] A deal's a deal . I finished . -Yeah, in Iast place.

Sounds great when you say it.

[interviewer] I know you have to go see the stewards Iater,

what do you think they're gonna make of your race today?

Well, I have to admit, you guys got this one right.

-I'm , Iike. . . Thank you . Thank you . -Good job. Yeah .

I'm still a bit rusty and , you know, finding my way with this car,

but I'm confident we'II get fhere.

A rope-a-dope at Silverstone, a demolition derby here in Hungary...

You've been banned from casinos.

Are you trying to get banned from F1 ? Take fhe whole team down wifh you?

Tell you what, Don , what do you say we make a bet?

Your £1 0 against my 1 0 grand .

We place at Monza, I win your 1 0. We don't, you win mine.

-[scoffs] -Let's do this, man .

Put your money where your mouth is.

What the hell? I'II fake that.

-Thank you . -Thank you so much .

Hey. No more press.

No, Sonny, you don't wanna make the media your enemy.

And you'II be fined .

Take it out of my paycheck.

We don't pay you enough.

You know, I have to say.

I kinda like it.

It's very sort of punk rock for the brand .

[Peter sighs]

[Ruben] Hmm .

Let's run if again .

How Iong's he been in there?

AII day. PIaying with different tire pressures, ride heights.

What were his times?

He found half a second .

Give me the same setup as him .

[typing]

It must be Iate. I'm seeing double.

[Kate chuckles]

A deal's a deal . I'm building her for combat.

At the Dutch Grand Prix,

you'II be entering the Tarzan Corner at 322 kilometers per hour.

Yeah . Too Iate to change my mind?

-Yeah . -[chuckles]

To answer your question,

I was in aerospace at Lockheed when Ruben came in and ...

He Iiked my work, liked my attitude,

and he sold me on the thrill of fighting to the death for a tenth of a second .

Traveling fhe world , the roar of a crowd ...

So, I ran the idea past my husband .

Who swiftly became my ex-husband .

Good nighf.

Good nighf.

[Iine ringing]

[Ruben] Do you know what timc it is?

AII right.

Tell me about the kid .

Okay, here's anofher one my dad would say.

"SIow is smooth , smooth is fast."

For what it's worth . One more time around?

-Just one? Come on . Is that all? -[Sonny chuckles]

-[grunts] -I'd never Iive with myself,

if I can'f keep up with you , Mr. 1 990s.

-[chuckles] -Let's go!

Joining us today, we have Kaspar Smolinski ,

Zak Brown and Fred Vasseur.

Now, Kaspar, can we start with you, after what was a fantastic result

-for the team in Hungary Iast time out. . . -Thank you .

... but Sonny has got you skirting the Iine of penalties and violations.

Is this your only strategy,

and have you gof any spare parts Ieft in the factory?

[audience chuckling]

We compete Iike everybody else.

Race models chan9e.

We must adapt, huh?

Well , Zak, can we bring you in on this?

Because you've faced Hayes before, you know the gray areas in which he works.

Certainly do. Uh , first of all , he's a Iot grayer now.

-[audience chuckles] -And , uh, we keep tabs on him,

you know, back there behind us.

-[audience chuckles] -And Fred , any concerns from Ferrari?

What does Ferrari think of Apex?

-We don't. -[audience chuckling]

["Hold Me" playing]

-[fan] Sonny! -[fans clamoring]

You're the best!

[Kate] A better qualifying yesterday gets us in the thick of things.

P 1 0, P1 5. [inhales sharply]

So we're gonna go for a two stop.

Medium-hard-medium, that's plan A. Final stint, we go hards for plan B.

So, on fhis, do you have any track concerns?

Don't Iook at me. Look at him .

It's good for J P.

Start me on hards.

Nah , the track's cooled down. You won't have any grip.

That's right.

For three weeks, all the talk's been how reckless I am.

Everyone's wondering if I'm gonna drive 'em off track,

which means no one's gonna be watching out for him.

Today, you win us this race.

[Croft] Twcnty laps down hcrc at Monza, and thc pack havc bccn split.

Thc lcadcrs arc pulling away, lcd by Max Vcrstappcn,

with Joshua Pcarcc hack in P10.

[Brundle] Mcanwhilc, Sonny Haycs is holding up thc rcst of thc pack,

stuck hchind him in a DRS train.

[Croft] Pcarce looks to bc in a grcat position to finish in thc top tcn,

and maybc evcn a run to the podium.

[Brundle] But thcrc's still a long way to go in this racc,

and with rain potcntially forccast, anything can happen.

Tires are gone. Coming in.

Yeah, copy. Box. Box.

[Croff] Apcx GP is prepping a frcsh set of tircs for Haycs.

That's gonna bring in all thc othcr teams to avoid thc undcrcut.

Uh , changed my mind .

[Croft] But, nol Hc's staying out, with thc cars bchind him all scramhling

to gct on frcsh tircs that apparcntly he docsn't think hc nccds anymorc.

Should we just do the opposite of what he tells us to do?

Stand by till I lose my tires.

-I thought he had lost his tires. -[stammers] I think he means Iiterally.

Puncture, Ieft rear. Coming in.

[Croff] And thcrc gocs Hayes's tircs.

[Brundle] That's quitc a mcss, gravcl on thc track.

That will bring out thc virtual safety car for a quick swccp.

[Croff] So thc racc gcts ncutralizcd.

Evcryonc slows down to 40% of thcir racing spccd,

and all thc racc stratcgics will gct a resct.

[Brundle] And that is why this is thc pcrfcct time to takc a pit stop.

Whilc you're in the pit lanc,

your opponcnts arc rcstrictcd to a much slowcr pacc

and you'rc not going to losc as much track position whcn you rcjoin.

-I take it I'm staying out, right? -Copy. Joshua, stay out. Stay out.

-We want you out to gain track position. -Copy.

Up is down, down is up.

[Croff] Sonny Haycs hcsitated bcforc hc lcft his pit hox,

and hc 's comc outjust in front of Max Vcrstappen.

[Max] That was naughty.

[Brundle] Haycs has slowcd a bit in thc pit lanc,

which will cost thc Rcd Bull and thc two Fcrraris prccious timc.

Push, Joshua. Push .

You arc now P4. P4.

[Croft] Who's coming up from hehind? Hcre hc is, Joshua Pcarcc.

-Let's see! Let's go! -Yes!

- This is all playing into his hands. . . -Wow.

...at thc moment. Could he a drcam aftcrnoon.

But can Haycs hold Vcrstappcn for a littlc hit longcr?

Vcrstappcn trics into turn onc, nothing doing thcrc.

Gcts thc hcttcr exit. Through thc Curva Grandc wc go.

-Damn , he's good . - Vcrstappcnrs trying to gct past.

[Brundle] Sonny Haycs Iooking carcfully in his mirrors.

Hc must let Max Vcrstappcn through.

Yeah , I deserved that.

[Brundle] And Max shows his disapproval,

and I don't hlamc him, as they hcad down towards thc sccond chicanc.

[Croff] And through gocs Joshua Pcarcc in P4,

now much closcr to thc front of thc pack.

[thunder rumbles]

[Brundle] Just scvcn laps to go, and hcrc comcs thc rain.

[Croft] Let's scc who plays it safc with a switch to the intcrmcdiatc tire,

and who might gamhlc to stay out on slicks.

It's getting tricky out here, guys. What's the plan?

You're running P4. We think P2 and P3 are switching to inters for safety,

and it looks likc P1 is staying out.

- What do you wanna do? -What's Sonny gonna do?

Take a wild guess.

-[Joshua] lrm staying out. -Copy that.

[Brundle] And the two Fcrraris comc in for intcrmcdiatc tircs.

Lct's scc who clsc dccides to play it safc.

[Croft] And as Gcorgc Russcll pits, Joshua Pcarcc movcs into P2.

[cheering]

Sonny, Joshua is staying out on slicks. If he can hold on and find a dry Iine,

he's gonna finish second .

Second's not enough.

Damn it.

Okay, coming in for inters.

-I nters, inters. -Let's go! He's coming in!

-How far behind me are they? -Thirty seconds.

Oh , my God . He's gonna take out Verstappen .

Let me know when they hit the main straight.

Don't tell him! They penalize both cars. They will take the win away.

Just trust me, will ya?

I'm pushing but I can't catch him.

[Brundle] As thc racc lcadcrs approach thc main straight,

Sonny Haycs is in another standoff ovcr tcam strategy.

-Now. -No!

[Croft] Finally, Haycs back out onto thc track,

andjust in front of Vcrstappcn.

Now hc 'll get a bluc flag hcrc so Vcrstappcn can gct past,

but until then, thc Dutch drivcr is caught up in Haycs's dirty air.

[Brundle] With cvcry turn hc hangs on,

hc slows Vcrstappcn a fraction of a sccond,

providing Joshua Pcarcc onc last chancc to catch up.

I can see him . I'm almost fhere.

Tell J P to follow me.

-Copy. Uh, Joshua, Sonny is your tow. -I'm right behind him .

[Croff] Vcrstappen pulls away thcn.

But now, onto thc rcar wing of his tcammate's car

comcs Joshua Pcarcc.

[Brundle] Pcarcc picks up thc slipstrcam from Haycs,

gaining timc, but driving blind in thc spray.

Come on . Stay with me. Stay with me now.

Pass. Pass.

-Overtake him. Overtake. -Copy.

[Croft] Hc's bccn gaining, and hooml Joshua Pcarce slingshots past Sonny Haycs,

-and now is in striking distancc of P1. -[cheering]

Tell JP fo wait for the straight into turn one.

Be patient.

-Straight at turn onc. -[crew member] Copy.

Joshua, Sonny says wait for the straight. The straight into turn one.

[Joshua] I'm right there.

I've got him.

[Brundle] Pcarce is right on thc gearhox of Vcrstappcn,

down thc hack straight at ovcr 200 milcs an hour.

I see an opening. Going for it.

[Brundle] Thc rookic attacks in 11.

No, no!

[Croff] Pcarcc pulls alongsidc thc Rcd Bull,

hc's whcels ahcad, for thc first timc cver...

-[Ruben] Bernadette, how's he doing? -[Bernadette grunts]

He's stable.

He's resting now.

[exhales heavily, mutters]

Very happy to hear it.

I'm so sorry for what happened . It was clearly--

Sonny, over here, please.

[sighing]

Um , I just wanna say I've been--

Joshua says you're an asshole.

Yeah , that tracks.

I think you're a dangerous asshole.

-Ms. Pearce-- -You're part of the same team, right?

Looking out for each other.

Except you had him doing something so dangerous

it almost got him killed .

-Okay, listen-- -No, you listen to me.

This is my son.

And if anything . . . anything else happens to him,

I'm coming after you .

And you better pray I don't puf you in a bed next to Joshua

for a very, very Iong fime.

CIear?

Sure.

[sighs]

[reporters murmuring , clamoring]

Sonny, Sonny.

Do you think Joshua blames you for what happened in Monza?

-[reporters clamoring] -[reporter] Sonny, come on .

It was clear that you were running his race.

Look, you kepf him out on slick tires, in dangerous conditions,

that even if you told him not to pass, wasn't the accident inevitable?

-If I may. If I may. -[reporters clamoring]

Joshua's back home, recovering .

We are expecfing his return in a few weeks.

Until thaf moment, our reserve driver, Luca Cortez right there, will drive and ...

-Next man up. -[clamoring] Answer the question!

[Buxton] A chaotic wcck for Expensify Apcx GP,

and again, it's Sonny Haycs at thc centcr.

Many arc hlaming him for his tcammatc's horrific accidcnt at Monza.

His high-stakcs, gamhling stylc of racing has the wholc grid on cdgc,

and while thc controvcrsy continucs ovcr who was to hlamc,

doctors havc said that Pcarcc will miss thc ncxt thrcc raccs,

duc to thc hurns suffcrcd on his hands as hc bcgins his road to rccovery.

[Kate] Today, wc 'rc going with our comhat upgradc.

Thc reviscd shapcs will improvc thc flow ficld undcr thc floor,

allowing us to run in dirty air with minimal loss ofpcrformancc.

Means we have to keep the field close at all times,

and as for this week's plan C...

They've docked us to the back of the grid 'cause they don't like the way we drive.

Fine. Fuck 'em.

'Cause if we can pick up a tenth of a second from you,

and from you , and you , and me ...

If everyone in this room can make one critical contribution,

thaf's a second every Iap.

And affer 72 Iaps, fhat's the difference between last and first.

PIan C...

PIan C's for combat.

And I want you as part of the package.

What sort of package?

I've set up a sale where I run the team ,

and keep you on for strategy,

maybe even team principal.

With the money from that deal , I can make you a very rich man .

Here's the thing.

With the . . . the chan9ing regulations,

new Mercedes power unit, Kate's aero, two new drivers ...

we've got a real shot at the championship next year.

What about Ruben?

Don't worry.

You know.

We won't embarrass him .

We'II keep him on with a . . . with a title, or brand ambassador...

You know, something .

And I get final say?

Don't change a thing .

Do what you do, man .

And that's the irony here.

You know, the board originally approved your hire

because we fhought you'd help us Iose.

-Sorry to make you sweat. -Hey.

That's my number.

Talk to your people.

But, uh . . . [chuckles] . . . right after the race, I , uh . . . I wanna Iock down the deal , okay?

-So, by Sunday? -Perfect.

Listen , this thing can be your Iegacy, you know?

An F1 champion .

What you always wanted , right?

It was you who forged those documents, wasn't it?

Huh.

[chuckles]

-You're a killer, man , aren't you? -Hey. I'm a winner.

-Aren't you , huh? -[sighs]

Okay.

Oh , hey. How's the back?

Better.

I've got an amazing guy. I'II, uh . . . I'Il hook you up.

Hail Mary.

You good?

[sighs] Listen, Mum , I've gotta tell you something.

In Monza, right before the crash, it was my decision to make the move.

Sonny actually told me to wait.

[breafhes deeply]

[knocks on door]

Family.

I've been working the phones with I ndyCar,

and I think I can get you a test drive, bruv.

-Hello, Auntie. [kisses] -Hi .

They're trying to pull in a new demographic, obviously.

And the Iadies Iove that smile.

And we can throw in some incentives, like flights and cars.

Listen, Cash, you can go. I don'f need you foday.

Nah , mate. You got media next.

[chuckles] I don't care. They can fine me.

Besides,

that's not why I'm doing it, right?

Josh, starting tomorrow, we're not "doing it" anywhere.

It's all just noise.

Media, engagement, followers.

Listen , I've gotta focus on the race.

[Cash] Auntie, please.

Well , you heard the man .

-Deal . -Deal . [chuckles]

-Yo. -Hey.

-Hi . -Hey.

Guys, what's happening?

Parc fcrmé. Waiting for FIA to cut the seals.

Oh, good. [sighs]

-We got fime then. -For what?

For...

[chuckles]

No, no, no.

Welcome to the Paddock Club, for our most valued guests.

Please, uh , grab a drink, make yourselves at home,

and, uh, enjoy the very best view there is of, uh . . . of Formula 1 .

Okay? Okay.

[clears throat]

Hey, guys, don't stop! Keep going!

[chuckles]

[sighing]

[groans]

[stirring orchestral music playing]

No way. [chuckles]

[sighs]

Jcsüs, it's Iike a morgue around here.

[stammers] How'd you get here?

Premium economy.

[Ruben scoffs]

What? What is this?

Well, that's my bullshit Ioophole.

Oh, no, forget if. I'm not even going to read thaf.

That is a real Iegal document from a real Tijuana Iawyer...

-[chuckles] -. . .waiving all Iiability to you

and your company vis-á-vis this race, myself, and me.

-And . . . -[inhales sharply]

...since you owe me my last paycheck, technically I'm still on this team.

Kafe, where's the shitbox?

The FIA confirmed that the documents were forged ,

and they were sent by someone from Apex.

Huh.

Okay, I don't care about your Ioophole. I don't.

That is my car. You are not racing it.

-Ruben . -No, Sonny.

Lisfen,

I can't let you do that.

I can't.

Okay?

[sfammers]

If the Iast thing I do is drive that car, I will take that Iife, man.

A thousand times.

[sighs]

We can't win .

We can't if we don't try.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[laughing]

[Iaughs]

[groaning]

[knocks on door]

How come you never Iook at the card?

[Sonny] What card?

[chuckles]

[crowd cheering]

Welcome to the very final spots on the grid .

And as ever, we'll go from Iast to first. And breaking news here in P22,

bccausc wc'rc hearing thc Apcx GP tcam havc madc ...

-Hey, Peter. -Yeah?

That's your guy. Isn't it?

...hcing rcplaccd by Sonny Haycs, who didn't cvcn make thc trip to Ahu Dhahi...

Uh, will you excuse me for one second? I'm really sorry.

Now, thc rules rcquirc that hc has to start at thc hack of the pack.

Excuse me. What the hell?

What?

You still got my phone?

[phone buzzes]

-Good luck today. -You too, James.

Excuse me. Hey, Sonny. Sonny!

Hey, look, I know we've had our differences,

-but Iook, this is your Iast F1 race. -Chaz! This guy.

Any thought...

What's that?

[crowd cheering]

BIoody hell .

BIoody hell!

[Iaughs]

[UAE national anthem playing]

EIbows out?

EIbows ouf.

[Croft] All sct for our scason finalc hcrc in Abu Dhabi whcrc it's lights out.

And away wc go. Oood start thcrc for Joshua Pcarcc.

Drivcrs jockcying for position

as wc hcad full-throttlc down thc main straight and into turn onc.

Tricky first corncr, and going widc, thc Aston Martin and thc AIpha Tauri

-[laughs] -as Pcarcc picks up two placcs.

[Brundle] Ycs, Pcarcc showing somc rcal maturity thcrc.

Hc saw a had situation bcforc it happcncd and hc's off to a grcat start.

Don't even think about it.

[Croff] Hcrc comcs thc Alpinc down thc insidc. Contactl

And thrcc days out of hospital, Haycs will fcel that.

Gained places, guys. We're alive.

[Brundle] l hopc hc hasn't damaged the car,

hut dcspite cvcrything, it's still a grcat first lap.

[Croft] lt isl Haycs in P1 5.

Pcarcc, his tcammatc, up to P9.

Rcd Bull, Mcrccdcs and Fcrrari holding on to thc lcad.

Apcx in thc midficld.

Lct's scc if thcy can do anything to shakc up this racc.

Gap to leader?

[Hugh] Fiftccn scconds.

Keep JP plus 20 seconds. PIus 20.

-Length of a pit stop. -You know why.

[Croft] lt's a husy racc for Sonny Haycs,

and now hcrc comcs Kcvin Magnusscn, looking to makc a movc.

And this could spcll troublc.

[Brundle] Thcrcrs history hetwccn thcsc two.

Oftcn, thc irrcsistiblc forcc mccts thc immovablc ohjcct.

And Magnusscn, looking down thc insidc,

-locks up and hits Haycs. -Box, box. Box, box, box.

Copy, coming in for hards.

Damn.

SIow is smooth . Smooth is fasf. Here we go, boys.

[Croff] Haycs cxit thc pits.

Hc had to comc in bccausc of that damagc to his tirc.

But what of Joshua Pcarcc ? Whcrc do Apcx GP go with him ?

[Joshua] Guys, am I boxing? What's the plan?

Plan C, Plan C. Stay out. Stay out.

-[laughs] Chaos. -Copy that.

Joshua slows down the Ieaders for Sonny. Sonny does the same for him.

[Brundle] Pearcc stays out.

It's a stratcgy that Apcx havc uscd bcforc this scason.

It hclps thcm with track position for now, but thcy gotta kccp thcsc tircs alivc.

It's the only way we keep this close.

And then we need luck.

I'm way ahead of ya.

[Rico chuckles]

[Croft] Lap 25, and cvcry drivcr so far has pittcd, bar onc.

And hc lcads thc racc.

Joshua Pcarcc controlling thc pace out in front.

[Brundle] And that givcs his tcammatc, Haycs,

a chancc to maintain his position in thc midfield

despitc thc contact, puncturc and pit stop.

Thcyrre working rcally well togcthcr.

How's JP doing up there?

He's keeping the leaders af bay. DRS active next straighf, Sonny.

Got it.

[Croft] Onto thc back straight. He's cnjoying this ncw upgradc,

and he's got DRS, and hc's got Picrrc Gasly.

Sonny Haycs up into P15.

[Hugh] Sonny, you havc got thc pace. Kccp pushing.

[Brundle] Pcarcc has hccn doing a grcatjoh out front

dcspitc thc uscd tircs, hut that moment is nearly ovcr now.

Vcrstappcn up thc insidc and he's through.

[Croff] Fahulous first stint from Joshua Pcarcc.

Max has passcd, and his troublcs don't cnd thcrc.

Hcrc comcs Charlcs Lcclcrc.

Itrs anothcr ovcrtakc. Pcarcc lost thc lcad and drops now to P3.

Sorry, guys. My rear tires are shot.

Copy thaf. Box, JP. Box, box.

[Brundle] Pcarcc strctching those tircs to thc limit.

Short-tcrm pain for long-tcrm gain.

And hc cxits thc pit. Hc 'll havc freshcr tircs.

Hc can now attack in thc sccond half of thc racc.

Sonny, the three Ieaders are still on hards.

They're gonna have to stop again. This is their pit window.

One of the Ieaders is gonna undercut. I need to be there when they do.

P3 Ferrari . Pippa, can he beat it to one?

[Pippa] Depends on their stop.

[Croft] Will the undcrcut work for Fcrrari?

Five point eight. He needs to pick up half a second .

Sonny, you need half a second . Go, go, go, go, go.

[Croft] And Sonny Haycs is on thc chargc.

Undcr thc track gocs thc Fcrrari.

Through thc first corncr gocs Sonny Haycs.

It's ncck and ncck. lt's rcally tight.

Sonny Haycs is just ahcad of Carlos Sainz.

-Yes! Come on! -[Croft] It's workcd so far forApcx GP

But thcir trouhlc's not ovcr.

Down thc insidc, thcrc's a chancc for Carlos Sainz, and hc takcs it.

But hc locks up.

Thc Fcrrari gocs widc and Sonny Haycs says,

"Thank you vcry much indccd."

How are they staying so close to the Iead?

Uh, they're, um . . . They're working together.

[Brundle] Two Apcx cars in thc top tcn, hut still a long way to go.

[Croft] Twcnty laps rcmaining, and Apcx has workcd thcir way up thc ordcr.

Wc'rc now at thc final pit stop window.

This is our chance for P1 . Make sure JP beafs them out.

[Croft] Hamilton and Leclcrc come into thc pits, but Pcarcc stays out.

-[Joshua] Talk to me. Can I catch 'em? -Yep. They're just coming out.

Push now. Push now. Push, push.

Copy. Pushing.

[Croft] Oh, this is gonna bc closc.

Joshua Pearcc inching ahcad. Staying ahcad.

For thc sccond time in this racc, hc lcads.

[Iaughs] Let's go!

-[grunts] -[grunts] Yes.

You arc P1, Joshua. [Iaughs]

[Brundle] But Pcarcc will havc a hard timc holding thcm off

with Hamilton and Lcclerc on frcsh tircs.

[Croft] Four laps to go. Sonny Haycs is in P4.

Hc 's fivc scconds hchind his tcammatc,

hut both arc on old tircs.

Therc 's littlc chance thcy'll gain any placcs now.

And hcrc's Hamilton attacking Pcarce into turn five.

And hc 's through.

Nobody has to stop again and our tires are nine Iaps older.

[Brundle] And Lcclcrc attacks and passcs.

Pcarccrs tircs are ahsolutcly finishcd. Thcrc was nothing hc could do about that.

I'm sorry, guys. I've got nothing Ieft.

[Croff] It's hecn thc Apcx GP story all year long.

Plcnty of risks.

A grcat undcrdog story,

but wc know, Martin, only talcnt crowns a champion.

[Sonny] Losing grip. Tires are gonc.

[Brundle] Ycah. Sadly, thc dcck's hccn stackcd against thcm

and now thcy'rc out of cards to play.

It ain't over, right?

No, but nothing can change. It's the worst feeling in the world .

Ocorgc Russell on thc attack.

Haycs looking to dcfcnd, through thc lcft-hander they go ...

And thcrc's contactl

Haycs is spun round and into thc harricr.

That's a big onc.

[gasping]

-Fucking yes, yes, yes. -Oh , no.

Yeah , no. Ooh.

[Brundle] Thcrc's dchris all ovcr thc racc track

and suhstantial damagc to thc harricrs.

Thc stcwards havc no choicc but to rcd flag this race.

Miracle.

[Croft] And spcaking of damagc, Martin,

Haycs will only hc allowcd to continuc in this racc

if hc can gct his car all thc way around the circuit

and back to thc pit lanc.

[Hugh] Sonny. Sonny, can you gct it back?

L'll get it hack. I'll gct it back if l havc to push it back.

Come on , Sonny. Nice and easy.

[grunting]

He's still going . [chuckling] He's still going.

[crew member] JP, red flag .

Red flag. Comc in.

We are still alive, hcrmano. [Iaughs]

Red flag !

[Brundle] And somchow, Sonny Haycs has got his car hack to thc pit lanc.

-It's a miracle. -I know! I know.

Never seen one until now.

Home free. Good girl. Let's go.

New soffs, both cars.

Raise the tire pressure for three quick Iaps.

-Team, time to build a car. -[crew cheers, clamors]

[Croft] Rcd flag rulcs thcn.

The teams can make changes. They can make repairs to their cars.

But only in that pit Iane.

And with only ten minutcs to makc rcpairs, Apcx GP has thcir work cut out.

[Brundle] And all cars can fit a fresh sct of tircs

for what will hc a thrcc-lap sprint.

-Dodge! Dodge, are we gonna make it? -I don't know. I don't know.

That was clean . That wasn't me. Not this time.

"Not this time"? Tell that to the stewards.

Check the replay.

I got this. Lift that corner.

I'm good . I'm good , I'm good . I'm good .

[Brundle] What thc stcwards will bc looking at

is whcthcr Haycs wcnt off complctcly

or kcpt at lcast onc tirc on track during thc contact with Russcll.

-Yo, you good? -Yeah , good .

Lisfen, you were on track.

Yeah, it was your corner. P3 and P4. Let's go!

[Croft] Givcn Haycs's rcputation, thcy'll bc looking at this rcally, rcally closcly.

Irm not cxpccting a quick dccision.

Come on, that's clearly a penalty.

Like . . . I mean , not fhat that's what we want,

but, Iike, objectively, that's the guy.

-Oh , man . It can't end this way. -It's just a time-out.

Like the last 30 years. It's in the hands of the racing gods now.

We gotta believe. Gotta believe.

[Croft] Plcnty going on hcrc in thc pit.

Oh, look. Hcrc comcs thc ncw wing. This is a massivc job.

Ycah, hut will thc car hold togethcr for thc remaining thrcc laps?

Well, that barricr looks okay now.

Thc marshals just swccping thc last fcw bits of dcbris off thc track,

and thc clock continucs to tick down.

[Brundle] Ycah, it'sjust ovcr two minutcs until this racc gcts underway again.

JP, JP!

Three Iaps.

Three Iaps is a lifetime.

Go win this thing.

Hey, Sonny. Sonny, you got a minute?

We got you a car.

Ah , you rock. Thank you .

[Brundle] Bccause Apcx GP didn't make thc top ten in qualifying,

they have a new set of soff tires available,

which will givc thcm extra spccd ovcr thc cars ahcad of thcm

on the uscd soft tircs.

This red flag is a Iifeline.

You'd almost wonder if Sonny didn't engineer it.

But wait, we're the only cars on fresh tires

because we sucked in qualifying yesterday?

Never got the chance to use them.

Sometimes when you Iose, you win .

-That don't make no sense. -It's a Sonny thing.

[Croff] Light at thc cnd of the pit lanc is grccn.

Wc'rc off on our second formation lap of thc cvcning,

and whcn this racc rcsumcs, this is gonna bc an cpic sprint.

Hamilton, Lcclcrc, Pcarcc, Haycs. That's thc top four.

[Hugh] Sonny, wc just hcard from thc stcwards.

Goddamn it. Now?

[Hugh] Wcrre dcbating whcthcr to tcll you.

Kaspar says, "Yes"' but Kate says, "Don't."

-Shc says you'rc fast whcn you'rc angry. -[chuckles]

-Tell her, "Job well done." -[laughs]

[Croft] And hcrc's ncws. Stcwards haVc madc thcir decision.

That Lap 55 collision hctwecn Hayes and Russell is rulcd a racing incidcnt.

-No further invcstigation. -[cheering]

Whoa! Sonny.

That was your Iine, Sonny. Go finish your race.

Joshua, we still got two cars in the mix.

Then we've got a team.

[Brundle] Once those rcd lights go out,

this will hc an absolutc sprint to thc finish.

Position advantagc to Mcrccdcs and Fcrrari.

Tirc advantagc to Apcx GP

Tell JP to follow my lead .

[crew member] Joshua, Sonny says to follow him.

Follow? He's behind me.

-Cheeky bastard . -[Sonny] Thaf's it. Stay with me.

[crew member] Hc 's giving you a tow. Takc it.

AII the way.

Come on, kid . Get it. Come on !

[Croft] Haycs plays the dccoy,

and Pcarcc rockcts past Lcclerc and up into sccond.

And Leclcrc's in dangcr from Sonny Haycs. Round thc outsidc, he's up into P3.

[Brundle] Pcrfcct tcamwork.

Haycs and Pcarcc working togcthcr, it's likc racing ballct.

[Croft] lt's a hcautiful sight,

but now their sights arc sct on the race lcader, Lcwis Hamilton.

Yeah ! Remember me?

Come on , boys. Send it!

Why didn't they overtake?

Lewis will defend whichever car attacks first.

-But they both can't wait. -Someone has to sacrifice.

[Croft] Two onto onc,

and all the prcssurc is on Lewis Hamilton

as Apcx work as a pack.

Go win it, kid .

Haycs makcs thc first movc.

-Hamilton dcfcnds. Pcarcc attacks. -Yeah!

-And Pearcc has P1. -[crowd cheering]

-Yes! -Yes, yes!

[Croff] Toc-to-toe, whccl-to-whccl,

this is cpic racing to finish off the scason.

And Sonny Hayes and Lcwis Hamilton arcn't donc yct.

Hamilton, on Sonny Haycs.

-Thcrc's contact! -[crowd clamors]

And through gocs Hamilton.

-Yes, yes! -Come on!

Yes!

Guys, talk to me. Where's Sonny? Can he finish?

[crew member] Onc morc lap, JP Hamilton ncvcr backs down.

Can Sonny finish the race, man?

[crew member] Ycs, hc's on track. Just watch Lcwis whcn hc fights.

You'rc P1. No morc risks.

No such thing.

[Croft] Thc rookic holds his linc. Hc won't hack down.

Hc's hcrc to fight thc scvcn-time world champion.

That made contact.

Thc lcadcr and Lewis Hamilton arc out of this racc.

[Brundle] Dcspitc ycllow flags flying at turn onc, this racc will continuc.

[Hugh] Sonny, push, push, push. You'rc P1l You'rc P1!

[Brundle] Apcx GP has only onc lap to go.

Thc qucstion is do thcy have thc car?

We have the driver.

[muffled] Yeah! Go on , Sonny!

[breathing heavily]

What's happenin9?

He's flying .

[Hugh] Sonny, you did it! Wc won! Wc wonl

[crew cheering]

We won !

-Yeah! -[cheering continues]

Yeah !

We won !

-We did it! Whoo! -Oh, my God. Oh , my God .

Thank you . Thank you. Thank you.

-Come on! Yes! -Yes!

Means another three years for Ruben , right?

Yeah .

I guess we'll check back about that deal .

Presuming you're still on the board .

[Croff] Brcathtaking! Brcathlcss! lncrcdihlc!

What an Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this has hecnl

What a victory as wclll

[Brundle] Ahsolutcly. Itrs a racc for thc ages. An ahsolutc thrillcr.

-And this man wins his first Grand Prix. -Well done.

-It's hecn 30 ycars in thc making. -Well done!

And thc tcam did a brilliantjob from thc pit wall.

-And of coursc wc can 't forgct Pcarcc . . . -Oi ! What you smiling about?

- . . .Playing his part in this victory. -[Sonny] You.

I'm gonna win a million races. You should at Ieast have one.

[Sonny Iaughing]

We did it.

[Sonny] Yeah , we did .

[exclaims]

Whoo!

[sighs]

[spectator] Sonny!

No, no, no, no. Give it to him.

Congratulations.

-Let them wait! -[laughs]

[Ruben] The cup!

Kate, you built a hell of a car.

[chuckles]

-[crowd exclaiming, chattering] -[breathing heavily]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[Kate] Anofher race I don't know about?

Somewhere.

That beats this? [chuckles]

Yeah .

I wanfed to say, "See you down the road ,"

but in a way that was more poetic.

So...

Can I see you down the road?

Yes.

[chuckles]

Hang on to that until then .

Okay. [chuckles]

And drive fast.

[Sonny chuckles]

[Joshua] And where do you think you're going?

[chuckles] Don'f worry about me. Go celebrate.

But you're off to where?

You know, couple more dragons to slay.
