Morning. Morning.

How's it going? You good? Good, you?

Yeah, not bad.

I always had this passion of eventually
setting up kind of my own racing team.

We decided to create the Sapper .com
racing.

At the moment, of course, you're re
-driving in the GT3 cars.

Yeah, especially after all the right
-handers, when you get that chicane.

But it's much better like this. There's
so much more confidence on the braking,

on the entry to the corner. It's much
more stable.

What I also enjoy is to see young talent
coming through.

So that's why to try and create your own
team and seeing that growth of drivers

also coming through is something that I
enjoy.

Max, you are a three -time world
champion. That's absolutely

Very lovely.

People sometimes ask me, what do you do
in your free time? And they expect you

to be something completely different to
anyone else. But I also just enjoy the

normal stuff.

He will do everything to win.

You see the competitiveness coming out
for sure. Hey, you should shut up.

I think my life off track is very
normal.

You know what I would like right now?
Kebab.

You know, very simple, how it should be.

I mean, we're only 55 minutes late.

Fortunately, Max is the master.

He's insane.

Nice and simple.

We were

thinking about

something what Max was doing for a long
time in several topics it was Tim

Racing, he was very engaged in GT3.

And Jos was doing rally.

And we thought to bring everything under
one umbrella, in one look and feel,

where Max is basically overviewing all
three pillars, with the passion what he

has for racing in general.

My main focus, of course, is still on
F1. I can't dedicate my own time fully

it.

I mean, it's something that I grew up
with in the back of my mind.

One day, you know, when, let's say, F1
is enough, you don't want to continue

driving anymore, you want to run your
own team.

Eventually, I would like to have Stappen
.com Racing as a team.

At the moment, we are at a team with our
drivers, with our own libraries and

sponsors, but the target is to just have
fully your own team.

My son is driving in the GTM this year,
and we have to learn a lot in GT because

it's a different ballgame than Formula
1.

I think it's the toughest GT3 category
out there at the moment. All the good

drivers are in it, and to come in as a
kind of a rookie with not much

is tough.

But it's a good learning school.

Of course, there's moments where he's
maybe not so happy with a certain

performance, but he will be also the
first one to say how I can do better. So

it's not just pointing fingers. It's
always pushing me forward to improve and

learn from my mistakes.

I'm there to coach him. I'm there to
help him. He sees the data.

He sees what I'm doing differently to
him, and it's all about processing and

learning.

The car that we're driving with at the
moment is still very new, so it's normal

that you are still learning and finding
a lot of things.

I jumped in the car myself, so I wanted
to feel what was going on.

Of

course,

it's a new car for him, so just talking
about the button, how everything works,

every car is a little bit different.

With the handle that's here.

If you're in the pit lane and you hit
the brake hard, and the button on the

of the steering wheel presses, then this
goes from white to green.

And now... Ah,

here. Yes.

You don't have to press it. Just click
once. So now it's activated because it's

green.

And then you immediately start when
we're in the air.

Then you just have a drop start and then
you can just drive away without

pressing anything. Without anything?
Yes. And when I come back in?

I

think

he feels the limitation of the car in
the

second lap.

He's steering the car with his body. He
feels everything.

He knows exactly what the car is missing
to go faster.

Fortunately, Max is the master.

He's a three -time world champion, so if
he said, you have to do this and this,

then he's listening.

The second round or something, the first
time I really didn't put it on, I

almost spun it off.

On my fastest round, it went straight
up.

And I didn't go in, I went all the way
down.

I just didn't get the round together,
because theoretically I have seven.

You got it fast in the second sector.

I had a hard time because of those two
cells, I just couldn't... Yeah, but you

just didn't feel it there.

But yeah, that's good.

I think if you have a little bit of
confidence that you can get behind the

so much.

It's

still

warm.

We don't want to make Max too difficult.

I think he just woke up.

Can you see him?

I have to... No,

a quarter over.

Quarter past nine, huh? Yeah. It's Max.

Where is he?

Well... Oh, he's at 9 .45.

Breakfast 9 .45, first thing 10 .15.

Oh, 10 .15.

Okay.

I looked at the schedule, it says 9 .45.

Arrival. Yeah, but it says like 9 .45 to
like 10 .05 arrival.

Breakfast 9 .45 and first thing 10 .15.

It's time to qualify in Monaco. The
streets here in Monte Carlo.

Well,

Max, enjoy your day.

So welcome everybody to Osher Sleben as
we get set for our first qualifying

session of the new DTM season 2023.

When I watch my friends racing, I'm
probably more nervous than I ever am in

car myself Once you're in control, you
know what you're doing but then someone

else is controlling their job, right,
their driving.

Nobody has put in a bank a lap at the
moment. They've all done their system

checks, their installation lap. They're
back into the pits. There's just two

cars out on the track at the moment.

The stopwatch for Thierry is the same as
the stopwatch for the rest.

On the end, you are competing with the
rest of the field, and Thierry has to

prove his speed.

And, of course...

With Verstappen .com and Red Bull on the
car, we want to compete in the front.

So he knows what the outlines are. To be
part of this program, he has to

perform.

On the end, we want to be competitive.

I told my son, I'm happy to support you,
but we have to compete in the front.

I didn't feel super confident.

Just struggled a lot.

Then you start, as a driver, to push
even more, try things which are just not

possible, you know. You try to bring
more speed into the corner and then it's

only getting worse.

I remember just... Talking to yourself
like, what the fuck are you doing, you

know?

The

lap

he did at 34, he should have slowed it
down instead of then continue pushing.

You look at the screens and you are just
in the bottom half.

It's just frustrating because you put so
much effort into it. You try to prepare

yourself so much and you have moments
where it's going really well.

And then from one moment to the other
moment, it's not working anymore.

He did a bit of go -karting here and
there, like very little, not much at

I think step by step, he started to pick
up a little bit the virus of the racing

as well. So at one point we were like,
well, why don't we give him...

a go in a in a gt4 car see how it goes
we did those track days and you could

like with no basically racing experience
that he picked it up quite naturally i

would say he did a drifting course in
germany and he was facetiming me when he

was doing his lap half an hour later i
got the first picture

that he was crashed

So, yeah, it goes with crashes.

He's racing against guys who grew up
with me, who have a lot of racing

experience. So it's not easy to
immediately, you know, be in the fight

them, know exactly what to do.

But it's good.

It's the hard way.

In things you cannot really train, that
just comes naturally.

It's just that those racing scenarios
and just progressing through a race

weekend, knowing when to push, when to
be on the limit or not.

But again, that I also didn't learn in
one or two years. It's just every year

you just get a bit better at it.

I'm curious to see how you're going to
play.

Look who's behind us.

This is the director.

This is Max.

Well,

let's see who's going to win.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Not very fast.

This is a really nice shoe, by the way.

When did you get this one?

I wonder if my dad finds it.

Cherie is of course the son of my
manager first of all, but I know him

was basically born.

We kind of, you know, like grew up
together.

My first real memory with Max was
probably when I was about six and I had

remote control from the one car.

And he will for sure remember this
story.

We were playing with the car. He was
like, can I give it a try?

So I gave the remote control to him. And
about five seconds later, the car ended

up in the water.

That was my birthday present gone.

I need to still ask him if he can get me
a new one.

During pedal, you see more his

competitive side. At the end, you know,
he wants to win.

he will do everything to win, so he
wants to have the best racket, he wants

have the best technique playing, he
wants to feel ready, so he will make

that he's fully prepared.

For me it was also funny seeing kind of
that side in him in a French fit,

because I mean during pedal it's still
pretty relaxed, but you see the

competitiveness coming out for sure.

you shouldn't start a business with
friends or whatever.

But it also depends. I mean, if I
believe and I see that, you know,

qualified, then why can you not be
friends?

Everyone has to do their job to the
best. So at the end of the day, the

performance, of course, comes over
friendship. But everyone knows that that

should be, I think, the standard anyway
when you set up a team that it's not

there just, you know, to have an
easygoing time. And I'm there to win.

I'm not there to just fill up the field.

I love it.

Even when you play shit, it's still fun.

I mean, it's all about trying to get
better.

You have to brake the throttle a little
bit. Even if you have a turbo lag, you

have to keep the throttle up.

We try that, but sometimes we get a
gearbox that gets too hot.

Well, then it just gets too hot for me.

Not too hot,

but just like that. You miss a bit of
momentum.

It's always good to come to a test day
where there's no pressure, there's no

around. You can just focus on your own
things and also try a lot of different

things to really know what direction to
go to.

It's on the curb. The car on the front
doesn't seem to absorb the curb very

nice. The car was very oversteering,
which I normally don't mind, but it was

much.

I want to try to get to an understeer
balance. Every corner, I'm just fighting

the rear.

Yeah, it just feels a bit light on the
rear. The more you can find there.

When he was speaking, it was getting
straight on the point.

And also for the magnitude of the issue,
it was clear how much I had to do.

Because, of course, being an F1, they
listen to you a little bit more.

It's normal.

Cherie is a bit more of a rookie.

And, of course, the engineers are also
quite stubborn. That's how they are.

I think he was already complaining a
bit, like, ah, the car's a bit on the

opposite side. It's not, you know, very
stable on the rear. But they were like,

yeah.

Do we trust his feedback fully or not?

And then I jumped in the car and I said
the same thing to what Cherie said.

That's also very important for them to
know that what I say is the same as

Cherie's, that they can trust his
feedback.

I had a lot of interaction with
different drivers in the past, also

important drivers, but no one, let's
say, at the level of Mark.

You know, everyone can do a fast lap.

It's probably the least hardest thing,
but it's also understanding why you did

power slap or understand where can I
improve more.

Just work for it. Like, you know, work
hard, understand the mechanical side of

the cars as well.

The whole package that needs to come
together.

And that's what I try to explain step by
step.

I think also, what I feel this car... I
think it's commitment and it's

precision. Always looking to the
details, which I try to do the best

But I think with the experience he has,
he's really good at that and always

thinking in advance.

He's very quick with the thought
process.

Thank you. Thank you a bit, Bob.

I don't know.

I'm really curious.

Look at how tall she is now.

They're up to it. They gave us to it.
Oh, fucking hell. Green, mate.

Let's see him go directly up to speed.

Everyone at one point can put in quite a
quick lap, but for him it just comes so

quick. Even if it's a new car, he can
just drive around the problems and use

talent and his experience to directly be
on the pace.

I know what to expect from this kind of
guy.

In this case was something really
unexpected in a way that he was

lap time at a level which normally is
not existing in the real life. So you

surprised even if you expect.

So, yes, then you remember it's
something to say with your friends when

in the future in the bar.

You could just see the eyes lit up from
end of day one to day two, and you could

see the confidence, the behavior.

For them, it was like when we did the
lap time, they were like, wow, you know,

the car is quick. We made it quick.

It really feels a lot quicker. It feels
like a different car.

So again, it's like a whole boost to the
team at the end of the day. So they all

went to the next race.

I think full of confidence that yes, now
we have a car that we can fight up

front.

So it was great to be in Mugello because
over the two days I gained a lot of

confidence back.

I think also with the team, they started
to trust me a bit more, maybe with

certain set -up feedback.

So it just kind of makes you forget the
bad moments before and like a fresh

start for the next weekend.

Looks so good, like the way it moves.

Unbelievable, guys.

You deserve that. What an unbelievable
season we're having.

Unbelievable. Large and in charge.

How does it fly, first of all?

Yes, thank you.

It's good.

And you?

Yes, it was difficult with those two
sets.

Yes, after three pushes. But that's the
track. That track always takes a little

longer for the tires to come.

Yes, because it's very soft. Yes, that
track is very fine, of course.

Yes, and it doesn't really slide.

But yes, that's what it is.

Yes, that's better. I think the
temperature is lower and that's why it

less quickly.

Is it colder now than Friday?

Yes, it's a lot colder.

There's something to learn for the next
time.

I'll tell you that.

Now you can't change anything.

Okay, Bink.

I'm curious. We're trying to follow in
the plane.

Hopefully it's too weak and we'll be
okay.

That's good. I'll let you know what to
do next. Hopefully it will be a good

trip.

Yes. That's good. Greetings there.

I'm a boy.

That's good.

Any more tips, dad?

What does he say?

Any more tips?

Yes.

Let's have him and one on the gas. And
take a little more speed with you.

A little more speed with you.

That's good.

from gt4 into porsche cup to now into
gt3 he has a tough learning school but

he's around he's there so i see the
potential is there i think in one or two

years you know like he can pick up so
much more experience and then you become

More all -rounder driver.

Okay.

Easy.

I'm pretty confident that he can really
fight for, you know, race wins and who

knows.

Championship.
