It's gonna be
win number one in 2025 for Lando Norris.

Well done, mate. P1. Great job.

From the moment the 2025 season began,
McLaren looked unstoppable.

It's a one-two for McLaren.

Winning a championship

is the thing I've worked on to achieve,
you know, since I was a little boy.

What is the ultimate ambition?
World Champion one day?

That's my aim.

Oscar Piastri wins the Bahrain Grand Prix!

At the moment,
it's a close battle between Lando and I.

This might be my only opportunity
to win a Drivers' World Championship.

Both can't win.
One will come out second best.

There can only be one champion.

Somebody's gonna have
their heart broken, you know?

But as McLaren's teammates focus
seemingly solely on one another,

Max Verstappen has been mounting
the most incredible comeback.

Good launch off the line
from pole-sitter, Piastri.

It's gonna be close.

Verstappen roars around the outside.
Takes the lead in spectacular fashion!

Max Verstappen wins
the Azerbaijan Grand Prix!

Yes! On fire!

Max attack!

Max Verstappen is still the top dog.

Lando Norris has gone
wide. Verstappen leads here from Norris.

It wasn't many races ago

that Max was more than
a hundred points behind these guys.

Yeah!

Well done, Max. You killed everyone today.

Very nice to drive like that,
and very enjoyable.

Max Verstappen
keeps up his championship challenge.

McLaren have made
a critical error in their car setups.

They're under investigation with the FIA.

Huge breaking news.

They've run the car too low
on the bumpy Vegas streets.

Both McLarens have been disqualified.

After the double disqualification,

this World Championship battle
has been blown wide open.

For Lando and Oscar,

their hopes and their dreams
could be shattered into a million pieces.

Pressure's on Lando, right?

I think so. A tiny bit.

And now, we head into the final two races

with a three-way fight
for the drivers' title.

Lando has everything to lose.

Max, he will smell blood.

Can Max complete an incredible comeback?

Verstappen is a monster. He's
the strong one. He has nothing to lose.

Or is this the moment

a new World Champion rises?

Good evening. How are we all? All okay?

Welcome.

Uh, tonight, we are here to celebrate
a powerhouse of motorsport,

a leader, a hustler,

now an author,

the CEO of McLaren Racing, Zak Brown!

What's the book about?

Business, leadership, lessons, stuff.

I was following the race
at the weekend in Vegas.

So I thought
I'd get it out of the way at the start.

How are you feeling?

Um...

That sucked.

Uh, bit of an understatement

It was a shock getting the news
that we'd been disqualified.

We got the car setup wrong. A bad mistake.

We've never claimed we're perfect.
We try and be perfect.

But we're fair.

We rotate whose car we sabotage
weekend to weekend.

So we do everything totally fair.

We've made a mistake,

and to do anything
to hurt our drivers getting the chance

to win the Drivers' Championship,
we felt pretty bad.

How are both Oscar and Lando feeling
about things?

They're great. I... You know,
I speak with them all the time.

I've never once felt
any tension in the room.

Both guys have a great chance at winning
the World Championship.

But, you know, Max is like that, uh,
guy in that horror movie

that as soon as you thought
he was done, he's back.

He's lurching back to life.

Max is not
a four-time World Champion by accident.

He never quits.

He's right in the midst of things,
so I'm concerned.

We've, uh... We've put
some pressure on ourselves.

Um, just 'cause
a lot of people have asked this,

shouldn't you be in Qatar?

That's where I'm headed when we're...
we're done. Tomorrow morning.

Thank you very much.
Have a safe journey home. Good night.

Cool. Thank you, everyone. Thank you.

Qatar will be
a challenging weekend for us.

No one can kind of afford
not to have a good weekend.

You worry about everything.

You gotta reset.

It's about getting the drivers focused
on the job at hand.

What is that?

Oh, delicious!

No, I'm good.
I've got my own food with me, actually.

Um...

Yeah, so I'm...

I don't know where to start. Uh...

Vegas hurt me. Lost a lot of points.

Should just never happen.

What the hell is that?

Little berry yogurt.

I'm never a person that will come in
and blame the team first.

But when you're against the best
in the world, then it's not good enough.

It puts you in quite a difficult position.

- It's all about just trying to win.
- Yeah.

All we wanna do is make sure
that we don't decide the championship

inadvertently,

You guys have a tangle,
and Max goes on and wins.

- Oh, you know, it happens twice.
- No, I know.

After a double disqualification,
Red Bull and Max are... are a threat.

He's fighting for the championship.
He's certainly gonna be in it.

And we have to perform perfectly
to keep them out of it.

I think there is a point when it's...

We've done what we've had to do as a team.

- Yeah.
- Now it's...

We're racing drivers.

Let us go and do
what we can to win the race.

I think we're all mature enough

to acknowledge
I could win big or I could lose.

McLaren are feeling the heat
from Verstappen.

The double disqualification in Vegas

is only gonna ramp up
the pressure on everyone.

Everything is now under the microscope.

You cannot afford any more errors.

I have to be careful.
There are too many cameras.

Nowadays, you can't say shit
in the paddock.

Heading into Qatar,
Max is now tied with Oscar.

- Have a good race.
- Thank you.

And Lando is just 24 points ahead.

Ultimately, it's never a good thing,

having the result we had in Vegas.

Another tense moment in the year.

But the best way of keeping my hopes
in as good a shape as I can

is trying to go out and win
and get the best results I can.

- Oscar!
- What?

- I tried to fist bump you, but...
- Oh, sorry.

What do you think about
the double disqualification for McLaren?

I think great.

A few extra points for me,
so I was happy about it.

Both cars being disqualified
is obviously a big setback for them,

which makes Max, um, come closer.

Uncomfortably closer.

Huge moment for the championship.

For McLaren,

a little bit questionable.

Max is gonna enjoy that and,

yeah, not a good thing for Oscar or Lando.

Clearly, the pressure's super high.

Lando has everything to lose.

Max and Oscar have nothing to lose.

Will Lando be bricking it?

Everyone would be bricking it.

Max, just to get your reaction
to what happened

with the double DSQ for the McLarens.

Of course, uh,
the gap closed a bit with that.

It's still 24 points,

but it's definitely a better chance
than what it was before that.

But, you know, we go all in.

We have nothing to lose.

If it was anyone else,
you'd say it was impossible.

But this is Max.
He lives for the impossible.

To overturn more than 100 points,

and with two races to go,

you just feel it's his.

- You good?
- Yeah, mate.

- All under control.
- Yeah?

Lovely times.

We could be standing
on the brink of history.

Lando Norris can clinch the title tonight
over his teammate and rival,

Oscar Piastri.

Max Verstappen will not back down either.

My goodness me, I've got goosebumps.

- Feeling good?
- Yeah.

Good.

In Las Vegas, we made a mistake,

but, uh, I expect Lando and Oscar
to bounce back.

See you on the grid, dude.

I think we need
to set everything a step higher.

In Qatar, we are hoping
that by closing a bit that gap,

McLaren, they will start
to feel a bit more pressure.

We leave in one minute.

And as a result, they will make mistakes.

It's one thing to dominate. It's another
to feel the pressure of your competitors.

Oscar Piastri has pole.

At the moment, it's a close battle.

I'm not ultimately concerned
with whether I have an edge or not.

I'm focused on trying to win
the Drivers' World Championship.

Norris is in second place
alongside his teammate, Oscar Piastri.

I've got to be
on top of everything at all times.

As soon as you relax one little bit
in any area,

you can pay the price,
and it can be costly.

We need to win and stop making mistakes.

Max Verstappen will start third tonight.

We are here.

I am in this fight still.

But at the same time,

it needs some severe bad luck or mistake
for me to be fully in the fight.

We need a good start.

We need something.

Yeah, boy.

Well, this could get exciting.

Everyone in position.
Three contenders for the title.

If Lando wins tonight,
he's champion of the world.

But if either Piastri or Verstappen
finish ahead of him,

this title fight will go all the way
to the final race in Abu Dhabi.

- Nice! Come on!
- Go on, Max!

Very good overtake, Max. Fantastic.

P2.

Yeah, copy.

- Yes, boy!
- Go on!

Go on, Maxy.

And Max Verstappen ahead by turn one.

Come on, Lando.

Lando, keep it up.

We'd like to try
and give it a go on Verstappen.

Confirmed.

Race leader Oscar Piastri

trying to win
his first Grand Prix for three months.

Everything looks good our side, Oscar.

Quicker than Verstappen last lap.

- Pace is great. Good job.
- Copy.

It's a pretty fast-paced race,

but I've been able to get comfortable
with it pretty quickly.

There's still a lot that can happen,
but so far, so good.

Piastri is still fighting
for his own championship.

Gap to Piastri ahead, Max, two seconds.

Keep me up to date.

I don't think about losing.
That's not in my head.

I think about how to win.

The start was decent,

so this is a very good opportunity now
for us to win the race.

Whoa!

A little dangerous driving of Gasly.

Oh!

Fucking unbelievable!

I gave him loads of space.

You okay, Nico?

I'm fucking stuck.

They're not gonna
clear that car away very quickly.

There are 50 laps to go,
and the safety car is out.

This is gonna be interesting.

Are we boxing or staying out?

Stand by.

If drivers want
to take a pit stop behind the safety car,

they can do so.

I think we have to stay out
because it's too much traffic.

Oscar, we're staying out. Stay out.

Copy, staying out.

Oscar's not pitting, right?

Is Oscar pitting?

- No, nobody is.
- Okay, I didn't think so.

What are we doing?

We're staying out.

Box and pit confirm, Max.
Box, pit confirm.

Copy.

These tires
cannot do more than 25 laps per set,

so it's a two-stop race.

For us, taking the pit stop
was an automatic decision.

Verstappen happy to roll the dice.

Pitting under the safety car
essentially means a free pit stop.

Box now. It's a very busy pit lane.

A bunch of cars coming in.
Most of the field, it looks like.

Oscar pitted or not?

Everyone has pitted now,
other than the two McLarens.

And now McLaren have the
entire pack behind them on fresh tires.

I should've just followed him in, no?
If you knew the car ahead was staying out.

It's never a nice moment when
the entire field has an opposite strategy,

so concerned.

Are we in trouble here?

We will see
whether that was the right call or not.

Complete disaster for McLaren.

They've now got to make
an extra pit stop over Verstappen

before the end of this race.

They've got to build
an enormous gap to undo the damage here.

When you're under so much pressure,
that's when mistakes happen.

Expect McLarens to push hard
on the restart.

Yeah.

Safety car in this lap.

Here we go.

Safety car in.

We are racing again,
and McLaren with so much work to do.

You are free to push.

- I can't let them go too far?
- Do what you can, obviously.

This is the bit
where we need to be quicker than Max.

What kind of pace do I need?

We would need to be
more than a second faster than Verstappen.

Wow.

Piastri leads this Grand Prix

with Norris in second,
then Verstappen in third.

He's going to have the race lead
when the McLarens stop.

Fuck's sake.

They've blown this massively.

It's a pivotal moment
in the World Championship

with 15 laps to go.

Okay, Oscar. Tire update, please.

Struggling a bit now.

Copy. Let's do it this lap. Box, box.

Max, good pace.

Gap to Norris, one second.

Yeah, this feels good.

Lando, box. This lap, please box.

That's currently P1.

Yeah, yeah.

Bring it home, Max.

Stay there.

Lando, we could be close to cars at exit.

Antonelli and Sainz,
they'll be ahead of us.

Norris in fifth.

Ooh!

That is what we need, boy.

Max, plenty of gap now
to Norris and Piastri, so well done.

Last lap.

I think Norris will struggle to
pass Antonelli with the pace we are doing.

Come on, Lando.

Let's go and get Antonelli.

Antonelli has gone wide,

and Lando Norris moves up
into fourth place.

And that's two very precious extra points
there for Lando Norris.

How crucial could they be
come the final reckoning?

Regardless of that,
we will fight to the end, mate.

Yes. Unbelievable.

That's a very lovely race.

Max Verstappen wins the Qatar Grand Prix!

And the fight for the title
will go to the final race.

Staying in it. Great job, everyone.

Well done, Max. Never a foot wrong.

Magic pace.
And let the other guys do the mistakes.

Yeah, really well done with that call.

That could've been us.

Yeah, they threw the fucking win away.
Gave them the win.

- It's fucking embarrassing.
- We just gave everything away.

Checkered flag, Oscar. Checkered flag.

Piastri comes home in second.

And that now means
he's behind Max Verstappen

in the drivers' standings.

Norris finishes in fourth.

This could have been the coronation.

He was dreaming
of being World Champion tonight.

Painful. Painful.

Speechless.

Just...

I just... I don't have any words.

We made a wrong decision today.

That's clear.

I mean, obviously it hurts at the moment.

It's another weekend
where something's just not gone our way.

It does hurt.

Another mistake.

A highly visible mistake.

Very disappointing coming off of Vegas.

We stuck to our plan. I don't think
the team expected everyone to box.

Um, the safety car. Was it the right call?

No?

Why didn't you pit
like all the other drivers?

Because we did what we thought was best.

It hurts the team, I think.

We look like idiots.

We shouldn't have done what we did.
Simple as that.

You think I should go see the drivers
or let 'em be?

Uh, I don't know.

I kinda feel like saying sorry to 'em.

McLaren's decision
to go against the prevailing wisdom

of every team in that pit lane

is baffling.

You could imagine a driver losing
a bit of faith, a bit of confidence.

Can't afford any more mistakes.
They're getting pretty costly.

Okay, let's get problem solving.

We win next week.

Uh, I do wanna go talk to the drivers.

Um, yep.

If it had been anyone else who
won, it wouldn't have been quite so bad.

The errors compounding.

Vegas, Qatar.

With one race left,

it couldn't be
much more of a disastrous outcome.

Couldn't believe it that they didn't pit.
Couldn't believe it.

We dominated the race.

It was a very significant win.

It has a big influence
on the championship.

Anything can happen
in a race, like it showed today.

It was just a mistake
of not boxing both of them.

Max Verstappen
has won the Qatar Grand Prix.

Very happy. Of course,
the gap came down quite a bit.

We're in it,
and it will, uh, keep it interesting.

Max, ahead of this race,
Zak Brown described you

as a guy in a horror movie
that keeps coming back, effectively.

Do you think
you're a little bit in McLaren's heads,

and you've got them scrambled,

and that's why
they're making these sort of mistakes?

You can call me Chucky.

How are you doing?

I'm all right.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

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

Loving life. I can't complain, can I?

Fighting against Max,

the driver I think is probably
the best ever in Formula 1,

it's difficult.

In Qatar, I was downbeat because
I lost some points in the championship.

Just, uh... Just thrown away.

We messed it up, and he did a good race.

They're doing a very good job,
and we did quite the opposite.

Like, do I think I'm quick enough? Yeah.

But, uh... I need to do it when it counts.
That's the only thing.

It's not like I'm scared of losing.

It's more the effect of losing,
which is the disappointment.

Yeah. It's just difficult.

Better get going.

Cheers, mate.

Going into Abu Dhabi,

I hope I don't have to find out
what it means

to not come out on top
at the end of the season.

We meet again in Abu Dhabi

for an F1 title decider.

With three drivers in contention,
only one can triumph.

Who will be the champion of the world?

I think this is Lando's to lose.

But it's the last race
with a lot of championship pressure,

and that always results
in a fantastic last race.

Here you go, buddy.

I think it's gonna be Lando to win,
or Max and Lando to crash.

- And Oscar wins.
- Then it's Oscar's.

Now, in the final race of the season,

Oscar slips to third
in the Drivers' Championship.

Max moves up to second

and finds himself
just 12 points behind Lando

with one race remaining in Abu Dhabi.

Hi, mate. Nice to see you.

All Lando has to do this weekend
is finish on the podium.

First, second or third, he's champion.

But right now, if you're a betting man,

it's Max's.

Because the unthinkable,

the improbable,

now has a very realistic chance
of happening.

So McLaren had a trip-up in Qatar.

And Max knows how to get
the most out of his team,

so you can't bank against that.

Maybe Oscar can be on the top.

He's just very, very calm, so...

Through the highs, he's calm.
Through the lows, he's calm.

Who's your money on this weekend?

Mm. Probably Lando, I guess.

I'm not gonna be putting money on it.
I don't think that's legal.

Well, I hope Max wins.

He's in the hunt and he has
a good chance that he can win.

In this moment, Norris has the advantage.

But Verstappen is a monster.

He's the strong one. Nothing to lose.

I've been reflecting on which way
do I think it's gonna go. Can't call it.

It's going to be a banging showstopper.

It's perfectly poised, isn't it?

It's as though the racing gods
had written the script for us.

Either the racing gods or Netflix,
but somebody scripted it.

We're calm.

I think we're calm.

I'm not sure I'm calm. I'm calm.

I'm portraying that I'm calm.

It's very, very intense.

Being in the lead, you're more
of a mindset of "don't mess it up."

And that's where Max
will have an advantage in that he's...

Done this.

...done this four times.

It'll be interesting to see
what Lando's like. Oscar's chilled.

- I mean, Oscar can definitely win this.
- Yeah.

It's why I always hate
with, like, three laps to go,

in the commentary when they start talking
as if it's, like, all over,

and you're like, mm...

I've seen Lewis go from losing
to winning the World Championship

in a corner on the last lap.

That's what makes sport cool.

Unless you're the one in the wall.

This conversation's
making me more nervous.

Losing the championship
would be devastating.

To have come all this way to fall short.

I... I don't even want to think about it.

- Lando!
- Excuse me.

- Come on, Lando!
- Excuse me.

Good luck!

Watch out, guys. Thank you.

Here we go, then.

The fight for the 2025 world title
is about to begin.

Radio check.

Yep, radio check.

- Excellent. Loud and clear.
- Loud and clear.

I'm always nervous before quali.
I wanna be on pole

and feel like I have to be on pole
to make my life easier on Sunday.

So, Lando,
Antonelli is coming up behind you.

He's approaching turn six now.

It looks like
tense driving from Lando, doesn't it?

Here comes Piastri,

who goes faster by some margin.

That'll put the wind up 'em.

What a statement that is!

Okay, Max.

-Currently P1.
- Yeah, copy.

Gonna need something
mighty from the McLaren boys to beat that.

Is there anything we can help
with the confidence on the brakes?

No, it's not that.
I think I'm just doing a shit job.

I feel, like, stressed.

I put myself under pressure.

Because I do a crappy lap,
I put myself down because of it.

To put yourself in a better position
and a better mindset

to set things off in the right direction,

you've got to think now.

You can't think of the past anymore.

Lando Norris
currently finds himself third fastest.

- Oscar, currently, you're P2.
- Copy.

Can you keep me updated to the gap ahead?

Norris, three seconds.

Keep on it.

Norris a tenth faster than
Piastri in the middle sector of this lap.

Here comes Piastri. Crosses the line!

Oscar, that's P3.

Well, there wasn't much left
in that one, so thanks.

Okay, we are P2.

P2.

That's pole position, Max.

Come on!

Let's fucking go, guys. That was insane!

Yes!

Unbelievable speed, Max.

Just pure speed.

- Mega.
- Yeah, fantastic work, guys.

Let's have some fun out there tomorrow.

Obviously, you know,
I didn't have a great qualifying. Uh...

Yeah, it was a tough one.

Hello, can I get your attention?

Our man of the moment,

World Championship leader, Mr. Norris.

Yeah, a big day for all of us.

I mean, this is,
like, the biggest day of my life.

I think when someone asks me
how much I wanna win a championship,

it's been my dream,
right, since I was a kid,

so everything I do is aimed
at trying to be the best in the world.

For Max to win, he needs to finish first
and I need to finish fourth,

so it could be a day of games
in many ways.

He's not gonna just try and win,
I'm gonna guess.

He's gonna see what he can do
to disrupt things,

cause havoc, cause chaos,
and we just need to be ready for that.

I mean, the exciting part is
I'm calling our strategy.

Yeah... That's the worrying part, yeah.

We have to avoid making mistakes
with the strategy stuff.

I don't know what I'll be saying
or thinking if I don't win.

It's a horrible thought.

I don't expect any drivers
taking each other out

to decide the World Championship.

Unless you have to. No.

Okay, I'll see you on the grid,
and, uh, let's kick some ass.

No worries. Cheers, guys. See you later.

For Lando, with the expectation
that's really rested on his shoulders

since he joined McLaren,

the fact that he was pitched
from the outset as a potential champion,

this should have been his season.

But motor racing is a mind game.

And you're going up against
one of the all-time greats.

So question to Max,
how are you dealing with the pressure?

I'm, uh, very relaxed.

I mean, trophy looks the same.

You know, I have four of those at home,
so it's nice to add a fifth.

Just wanted to know
if the parents are here.

Parents are not here. I didn't really plan
to be in the title fight till the end,

so, uh, yeah, here we are.

We're seeing
a very different Max Verstappen,

and it's joyous.

Unless your name is Lando Norris
or Oscar Piastri.

Because an unrestrained,
carefree Max Verstappen

is absolutely fucking terrifying.

- Welcome, Max.
- Hi. How's it going?

- How are we doing?
- Got shade for you.

- Here?
- Yes, please, in the shade.

Thought you might like
to stay slightly cooler.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's quite hot already.

Luckily, the race is, of course,
in the evening, so that helps.

- Yeah.
- It's much better.

Max, if you win the championship,
will this go down as your greatest win?

I think definitely
the most unexpected one.

But then also, there is no pressure.

Of course, you know, if it...
if it happens, then that's insane.

If it doesn't happen,

we can still be very happy
with what we have done the last few races.

Incredible.

- Pressure's on Lando, though, right?
- I think so.

I'm in a good space.
You know, like, it's not this do or die.

But at the same time, I still want to win,
and that's why I'm here.

You seem tougher mentally than those guys.

Do you try to play mind games with them
in interviews, in the press,

to, like, plant a seed,
like, "I'm an animal and you're not"?

Uh, yeah, I mean, I've done it now
the last few races a little bit

because it irritates them, you know?

So, um, yeah, I don't mind it.

For me, like,
it's all fun and games anyway. Um...

You shouldn't take everything too serious.

We are not going to change
our approach now.

We have been saying race after race,

if there is an opportunity,
Max is going to take it.

He's an extraordinary champion,
and Max will have a good chance.

- Thank you.
- Yep, thank you.

- Good luck.
- Yes.

- Good luck.
- Enjoy.

Thank you.

How's he feeling?

Uh, not as confident
as me and you would be.

Fuck no.

Been mega all weekend.

Rinse and repeat.

Rinse and...

Just what you did last year.

- Yeah.
- All right.

Have fun.

Rinse and repeat.

- All good?
- Yeah.

We're ready.

How's the car feel?

Hopefully, it's a bit better today.

Just enjoy it.

You're about to witness
one of these drivers

have the greatest day of their career.

The sport's biggest prize is up for grabs.

Max Verstappen is going to push
the McLarens all the way,

and he starts the final race
of the season from pole.

Victory would complete
the greatest comeback

in the history of Formula 1.

McLaren second with Lando Norris,
and third with Oscar Piastri.

Max is doing whatever he can
to win the race.

What's happening behind
is what's happening behind.

No control over that.

See you on the grid, dude. Have fun.

I think in Formula 1,
we know it's not over till it's over.

Shitting your pants?

Yes.

We have to go out
and win this championship,

not expect Max to falter.

Verstappen must
make the podium to have any chance.

Piastri must be in the top two,

and if Lando Norris is to win
his first World Championship,

he has to finish on the podium.

We'll see how the race pans out.

Until either Lando or Max
cross the line in front of me,

I've still got a chance
of winning the title.

I need things to happen in the race
to win the championship,

but funny things can happen.

When pressure is high,

normally I perform, because I enjoy that.

I'm gonna try to win the race.

If I need to attack, I'll attack,
because I have nothing to lose,

so what can happen?

You're either second or third, or you win.

That would be fantastic.

It's always tough,
and it's never gonna be easy.

It could be my only chance
of winning a championship.

Absolutely bricking it.

It is time to crown a champion.

Oscar just behind.

Yep.

Max and Lando ahead.

Overtake available.

Yep, good job. You're P2.

Verstappen's ahead of you.

That's Oscar ahead of us.

We should use a bit more pace.

As expected, field is very close.

The car behind now, Piastri.

Yep.

Leclerc is a couple of seconds
behind Norris.

This pace is mega. Well done.

-Car ahead, Norris.
- Copy.

The situation behind, Leclerc 1.6.

With Max Verstappen
in the lead, Lando must finish P3

to be crowned World Champion.

And Leclerc will have DRS.

He's 0.6.

Confirm.

- DRS enabled.
- Copy.

Good job, Oscar.

Let's see if we can start
putting Verstappen under pressure.

Copy.

So, Lando, box this lap, please.
Box this lap.

Confirm.

- Box, Charles, box.
- Copy.

Both Lando and Charles
are pitting for new tires.

McLaren have to get this right
so that Lando stays ahead of Leclerc.

We have a plan.

Everyone's laser focused.

We can't make any mistakes.

And we'll be close at exit.

- The field spread is incredibly tight.
- Yep, confirm.

Oscar, Lando pitted, but
there's a lot of traffic in front of him.

Copy.

Norris has exited the pits behind us.

Yeah, copy that.

Lando finds himself all
the way back in ninth after his pit stop.

He has to get back to third
to win the World Championship.

So Norris has fallen behind
Antonelli, Sainz, Stroll, and Lawson.

Also, Tsunoda.

- Norris 0.5 behind.
- Copy that.

Maximum pace, Kimi.

Norris still behind Antonelli, Max.

Copy.

- It's the longest ever.
- I know!

This race is not going
the way I need it to.

But I can't let this championship
just slip away.

Because I fought
as hard as I could fight for it.

Good job.

Four cars still to go.

Sainz is the next car.

Norris first car behind you.

-Do not go off line for Norris.
- Copy.

Come on, Carlos, be a friend.

I've been teammates with Lando,
but I'm not trying to help the McLaren.

I'm just focusing on making zero mistakes.

He's gonna struggle to pass me.

Pace is really good.

Three cars to go.

Lando past Sainz
and is moving through the traffic,

trying to find his way through.

Okay, mate, keep doing what you're doing.

Confirm.

Norris close behind on new hard.

Okay, I'm gonna fucking push now.

- Behind Stroll is Norris.
- Yep.

- Let's do our best.
- Copy.

Just tee it up down here. Tee it up.

Lando takes two cars
in one corner, and he's up to fourth.

Verstappen and Piastri
are leading this race,

but it will not matter
if Norris can claim third position.

And next car will be Tsunoda.

Okay, we expect Norris within one lap.

All you can when he catches.

I know what to do, so leave it to me.

Any concern
they do something really dirty?

Okay, that's Tsunoda ahead.

Car behind now, Norris.

Come on, Yuki.

Go and get him, mate, Go on.

I can see Yuki.

I know they're pretty quick
in the straight.

But I'm on fresher tires.

I have to get past.

Here comes Lando Norris,
He gets forced completely off the track.

Oh, come on!

They're gonna have to look
at that. Was he all four wheels off?

He was over the white line.
Gonna have to give that back, are they?

That was fucking bullshit.

Stewards are reviewing
the incident between Norris and Tsunoda.

This is a huge decision.

That was classic Red Bull shithousery.

We've been pushed off.
It's really dangerous.

Very dangerous.

I think they are, uh, debating.

I can't believe how long this takes.

Okay, Yuki, we have been given
a five-second penalty for moving twice

on our defense of Norris.

The fuck?

How much penalty?

Five seconds.

Fucking dickhead.

A massive moment
for McLaren. No penalty for Norris.

My heart didn't need that.

So, Oscar, Lando's now P3.
Gap to Verstappen, 22.

Copy.

Verstappen is way out in front.

Oscar's title challenge is all but over.

Lando must now hold onto P3
to win the World Championship.

So, Lando, the situation behind us.

Leclerc at two,
then you've got Tsunoda at 11.9.

Confirm.

- Keep an eye on Leclerc behind.
- Yep.

This is the risk period now.

Charles Leclerc is
gaining ground on Lando Norris.

The only thing that is in my head

is what can I do
for the best interest of Ferrari?

I could potentially ruin the party

and make the last race
a bit more exciting.

Leclerc is pushing
in turn two and three more than we are.

Let's have 100% pace, please. 100% pace.

Why am I so slow in the straights?

Nothing obvious yet on our side.

Two laps remaining.

Fuck. Is Charles catching him?

Leclerc has fallen behind.

Max, you have given everything.
You can be proud of that, mate.

Keep building this gap on Leclerc.

Two laps to go.

The second to last lap, I'm getting close.

This is almost about to happen.

All of a sudden,
I started having flashbacks.

Different moments from the very beginning.

Hi, I'm Lando Norris.
I'm European champion.

I don't want to stop myself
from trying to think of it

even though I'm not there yet.

It's just such a long journey,
which is what makes it so special.

Then the final lap.

Trying to take everything in.

This is the biggest moment of my life.

Lando Norris
is the Formula 1 World Champion!

Yeah!

Uh, Lando, this is Zak from McLaren.
Is this is the World Champion hotline?

Yeah.

You did it! You did it! Awesome!

Whoo!

Oh shit.

Oh my God.

You've made a kid's dream come true.
Thank you so much.

I love you guys.
Thanks for everything. You deserve it.

I love you, Mum. I love you, Dad.
Thanks for everything.

I'm not crying.

Good job, mate. That's, uh, P5.

Uh, P2 in the Constructors'.

We got the job done.
Let's go again next year.

We're proud to beat Ferrari.

A tough competition
between the two teams will always exist.

The great racers.

Thank you for your kindness and empathy.

I will always fight for you guys, always.

That's it from me.

I love Lewis. So much respect for him.

But I think it's no secret
he's having a bit of a stinker,

and it's a bit tough to see.

Thank you, Carlos,
for an amazing first season together.

P5, let's go build on that next year.

Thank you, guys.
Yeah, a very good year. Congrats.

It's unusual for a team
to bounce from ninth to fifth.

Well done, Alex. Thank you.
There's a lot more to come. I can't wait.

Thank you, James.

But it's exponentially harder
to be in the top three,

and that's the bit
I'm really focused on now.

Great job on your part, man.

Just wanna say thanks
for the last 24 races.

Thank you, guys. Not a bad season.

There's been so much momentum gained
throughout the course of the season.

So many highs and lows
all the way through it.

I mean, it's been a roller coaster.

Let's keep this car far away
from my sight next year, please.

I don't want to see it anymore.

We need a completely new car.

A completely new '26,
you know what I mean?

Hate to be a little bit boring.
No burnouts.

Sure.

Yeah! Yeah!

Feel unbelievably relieved.

Yeah! Yeah!

To win the Drivers' is awesome.

Couldn't be happier for Lando.

Max is one
of the greatest drivers of all time,

drives for an unbelievable team,

so to beat him, you know
you've done an awesome job.

So I think it does feel sweeter.

For Oscar, I know
there's momentary disappointment,

but he's gonna be a World Champion,
I guarantee it.

Last year, we became
Constructors' World Champion.

And this year,
we are double World Champions!

It's hugely significant.

McLaren have gone
from the bottom to the top

to win back-to-back
Constructors' Championships

and crown a Drivers' Champion.

So what that means

is we're the best team in the business
with the best driver lineup.

Whoo!

I mean, it's incredible
because it's... it's... it's the thing.

It's the thing
all of us worked on to achieve,

you know, since I was
a little... little boy.

I had amazing parents

that gave me the opportunity
to do exactly what I wanted to do.

Never lose the smile.
Never lose the smile.

We did it,
and that's a pretty cool thing to say.

2026.

A new dawn for Formula 1.

A new set of regulations. New engines.

New car designs.

It's a clean sheet of paper.

This is probably
the biggest rule change ever.

A new team in Cadillac.

You deserve to be back in the car.

I think in Valtteri, in Checo,

we've got this perfect combination
of experience and talent.

The arrival of Audi, replacing Sauber.

What I'm hoping that we've seen today
is an iconic team.

One that's forever Audi Formula 1.

A new teammate
for Max Verstappen once again.

Do you know Isack Hadjar?

What the fuck am I doing
here? You know, it's just...

Which means Yuki's been replaced.

I'm not sure it's fair, to be honest.

Liam Lawson will be racing
with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls in 2026.

- Glad to see you.
- Thanks.

And Aston Martin have employed
the man responsible

for designing every great racing car
that Max Verstappen has ever driven.

- Morning, Adrian.
- Adrian's a unicorn.

We have the ability

to be the next greatest
Formula 1 World Championship team.

We'll give it our best shot.

Yeah!

McLaren may have
the fastest car this year,

but they might not be on top for long.

Reachin' out

Touchin' you

Touchin' me

Sweet Caroline

Buh-buh-buh

Good times never seemed so good

So good, so good, so good!

I've been inclined

Buh-buh-buh

Good times never felt so good

So good!
