1
00:00:00,410 --> 00:00:02,330
Everybody a very warm.
2
00:00:02,330 --> 00:00:05,750
Welcome to the drivers press conference
ahead of the fórmula1.
3
00:00:05,780 --> 00:00:10,130
Sao Paulo is coming your way as ever.
4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:15,470
But we are a man down in this first group
because Kevin Magnussen hasn't been able to
5
00:00:15,470 --> 00:00:21,290
make it due to a flight cancellation so the
fabulous for our closest to me.
6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:26,450
Daniel Ricardo, then we have Max Verstappen
Lance Stroll and lando Norris so very warm,
7
00:00:26,450 --> 00:00:29,270
Welcome to you all looking comfortable.
8
00:00:29,450 --> 00:00:30,980
Daniel, we don't we start with you.
9
00:00:32,300 --> 00:00:39,860
Um. Lots of positive headlines in the press
this week saying Daniel Ricardo is back to
10
00:00:39,860 --> 00:00:41,900
his best is that how it feels after last
weekend.
11
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:45,930
Yeah, like I felt.
12
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,310
Well, I definitely you know.
13
00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:49,590
It's obviously this sport.
14
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:52,740
You got a. Yeah, You got to kind of keep
baking it up, obviously.
15
00:00:52,740 --> 00:00:55,530
It's nice to have a good weekend, but to
just have one.
16
00:00:55,830 --> 00:00:57,510
Um in my mind.
17
00:00:57,690 --> 00:01:03,000
It's not enough. But of course for me to
kind of have a strong weekend from start to
18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
finish. I think you know spoke, spoke
something.
19
00:01:06,750 --> 00:01:08,310
Um, it was something that.
20
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:14,130
I've obviously been yeah, have struggled
with the last year year or two didn't have
21
00:01:14,130 --> 00:01:18,720
many weekends like that. So I think also
this year was just about me.
22
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:22,200
Like rebuilding a guess myself again and
just trying to find.
23
00:01:22,260 --> 00:01:25,530
Uh, yeah. It's people say like that old that
old form or that old me.
24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,660
So yeah, Mexico felt a lot like that and
even the lead up everything about that week.
25
00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:33,810
I was just. Yeah, Very very ready.
26
00:01:33,930 --> 00:01:35,580
Ready to go. So it's nice to kind of back
up.
27
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,920
Everything. I hope the weekend would be.
28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,780
When did you last feel that comfortable in a
formula one.
29
00:01:41,790 --> 00:01:41,980
Come.
30
00:01:43,310 --> 00:01:48,570
Not one says I think it was it's been a
while, but look there was obviously like
31
00:01:48,590 --> 00:01:50,270
there was. You know it wasn't like every
weekend.
32
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,190
Mclaren was bad. There was some.
33
00:01:52,190 --> 00:01:56,420
Which were which were good, but yeah, I'd
probably have to go back to more.
34
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,370
Yeah. Like as opposed to twenty twenty.
35
00:02:00,610 --> 00:02:02,110
So um, it was a while.
36
00:02:02,140 --> 00:02:03,940
But I think from start to finish.
37
00:02:04,510 --> 00:02:06,670
That was one that you know in a car.
38
00:02:06,670 --> 00:02:08,920
That is still relatively new for me.
39
00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:11,800
Obviously was my fourth fourth proper race
weekend at the year.
40
00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:17,530
¿So I think to have that feeling quite early
and also just an understanding of I think
41
00:02:17,530 --> 00:02:18,940
already got a good understanding of what?
42
00:02:18,940 --> 00:02:21,070
I what I want from the car so in terms of
setup.
43
00:02:21,370 --> 00:02:25,480
We're able to change a few things going into
mexico and I think that as well translating
44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,810
into the feeling. I was looking for I think
That's that's also really positive.
45
00:02:29,140 --> 00:02:34,510
You made those changes going into mexico, but
we you still surprised by the competitiveness
46
00:02:34,510 --> 00:02:35,470
of the car there.
47
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,600
Yeah, I think like following coalifying.
48
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,860
We like coming into coalifying.
49
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,880
It was like clear in my mind.
50
00:02:43,890 --> 00:02:46,620
We were going to be cutres. You know, I had
a lot of um.
51
00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:50,660
Let's say confidence in faith that we were
going to have no issue getting into Q3.
52
00:02:50,940 --> 00:02:55,950
Um, especially with obviously a couple extra
tenths from a too from from Yuki.
53
00:02:55,980 --> 00:02:58,720
So that that Obviously got us got us in
there.
54
00:02:58,860 --> 00:03:03,720
Quite comfortably. Um, but you know, I'd
kind of even Friday night.
55
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,060
It kind of played like a lap out in my head
and I was like all right.
56
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,260
Maybe everything going. Well, tomorrow, we
could it won't just be like a tree.
57
00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:13,110
Like a tent it'll be. Maybe a seventh like
that would be amazing.
58
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:18,540
So the fourth was a little better than we
probably thought and honestly wasn't after
59
00:03:18,540 --> 00:03:19,950
till I was very happy with it.
60
00:03:19,950 --> 00:03:23,550
Obviously like the press afterwards and
that, but probably wasn't like the Monday
61
00:03:23,550 --> 00:03:24,570
Tuesday. ¿Where that?
62
00:03:25,490 --> 00:03:26,810
That kind of sunken a bit more.
63
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:29,270
Just a tent behind max in qualify.
64
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:35,830
Yeah. So. Not you're going to try to say
something funny, but it was cool.
65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,780
I think well, that was one thing. I said
like fourth.
66
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:42,280
Yeah, Fourth is great, but yeah, it's not
like max or or sell in that case.
67
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,260
Obviously on Paul was eight down the road.
68
00:03:44,260 --> 00:03:46,420
You know, we were just over dos tenths from
Paul.
69
00:03:46,690 --> 00:03:50,590
So I think that as well felt as good as the
fourth is that we were.
70
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,840
We were there. We were. Yeah, competitive.
71
00:03:52,870 --> 00:03:55,180
All right. ¿What about this weekend here in
Sao Paulo?
72
00:03:56,620 --> 00:04:00,280
Well, Yeah. Is obviously positive and awesome
as Mexico was it's it's now.
73
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,390
Yeah. You switch the focus to this weekend
and it's nice coming into a weekend after a
74
00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:09,490
good result. But you know we we have to
start from scratch here and in terms of we
75
00:04:09,490 --> 00:04:10,810
got one one practice session.
76
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,410
I think we have a bit more confidence in you
know where to start the car with setup.
77
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,840
But um a different track different
conditions.
78
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,630
So yeah, we'll come in with the confidence.
79
00:04:19,630 --> 00:04:22,330
But um yeah staying.
80
00:04:22,330 --> 00:04:23,770
Let's say definitely staying grounded.
81
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:24,340
All right.
82
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,140
Good luck with that. Thank you very much,
Daniel.
83
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,580
Max, let's come to you. Next.
84
00:04:27,580 --> 00:04:27,940
So.
85
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:29,650
Please.
86
00:04:30,910 --> 00:04:33,970
Now you're going to win this weekend, Max.
87
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,630
No, maybe after that record breaking
sixteenth win in Mexico.
88
00:04:40,630 --> 00:04:44,650
Last weekend. Do you think it is going to be
a little bit closer here in Brasil.
89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,270
Well, last year.
90
00:04:46,270 --> 00:04:52,180
We didn't have a great race weekend here and
now what you know also the sprint Format
91
00:04:53,140 --> 00:04:56,740
makes it um quite difficult to to start
away.
92
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,430
Be on top of things we had a few ideas y
last year was not that great.
93
00:05:00,430 --> 00:05:06,220
But yeah, One practice session to um to make
sure that It's better this year, but yeah, I
94
00:05:06,220 --> 00:05:07,990
think that's a lot of high deck here.
95
00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:11,440
Um, and the way you have to set up the car a
lot of load speed corners.
96
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,240
I don't think our car is particularly.
97
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,160
Let's say amazing in the corners.
98
00:05:15,190 --> 00:05:17,800
So I guess I'll find out.
99
00:05:17,830 --> 00:05:19,990
¿So a little bit Apprehensive Is that what
you're saying?
100
00:05:20,740 --> 00:05:23,920
Yeah. Last year. It was definitely not not a
great weekend.
101
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,620
So now, so we'll have to try and do better.
102
00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:31,880
Now you said in the past that you learn more
from losing.
103
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,050
Then you do from winning.
104
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,840
And this is actually something. I touched on
with Christian Horner.
105
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,190
Last week But given that you've been so
dominant this year.
106
00:05:40,190 --> 00:05:41,750
Just tell us some of the lessons.
107
00:05:41,750 --> 00:05:43,700
You've learnt during twenty twenty three.
108
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,880
A lot of different things, but it's every
single weekend.
109
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,780
You know different things happen some
weekends you learn more some weekends.
110
00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:52,970
You learn less it.
111
00:05:52,970 --> 00:05:55,940
Yeah, I mean, sometimes you hit the ground
running the car is unbelievable.
112
00:05:55,940 --> 00:06:00,770
You don't you barely touch the the setup of
the car where sometimes you have weekends
113
00:06:00,770 --> 00:06:07,070
where it's a bit harder to to get on top of
things driving wise setup wise and you might
114
00:06:07,070 --> 00:06:10,760
find out a bit more and you might learn a
bit more in the raise certain scenarios.
115
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,770
You learn more. Yeah, So we can go on
forever, but every single weekend is is
116
00:06:15,770 --> 00:06:16,130
different.
117
00:06:16,430 --> 00:06:19,080
Final one for me. Then um away from formula
one.
118
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:24,440
There's been an interesting merger in the
world of eSports you're involved.
119
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,160
¿What's it all about?
120
00:06:25,970 --> 00:06:33,170
¿Yeah? I mean, of course got my own esports
team and of course redbull as well, so
121
00:06:33,530 --> 00:06:38,780
basically we we kind of merge for a few
particular platforms.
122
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,270
I think the most important one is is if one
esports.
123
00:06:42,740 --> 00:06:47,390
We'll we'll take over the the performance
side of things so yeah, very exciting stuff
124
00:06:47,390 --> 00:06:54,410
ahead. I mean, yeah, We I think we all have
a lot of great drivers in the team so putting
125
00:06:54,410 --> 00:06:57,770
that force together. I think is very
exciting and hopefully of course we can we
126
00:06:57,770 --> 00:07:00,650
can do. Well, you're going to raise not
enough one esports.
127
00:07:00,650 --> 00:07:03,740
I'm too slow. I'm too old.
128
00:07:06,260 --> 00:07:09,740
Okay, Well, leave it there, Max, thank you
very much for that, Lance, Can we come to you
129
00:07:09,740 --> 00:07:15,230
now so Mexico approved problematic for Aston
Martin And then.
130
00:07:15,230 --> 00:07:18,710
Of course, neither you nor Fernando finished
the race.
131
00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:21,350
What were the issues with the car last
weekend.
132
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,830
Um, just.
133
00:07:24,830 --> 00:07:26,330
Yeah, I mean speed.
134
00:07:26,330 --> 00:07:29,960
We, you know. We're just lacking speed in
the corners.
135
00:07:30,410 --> 00:07:32,000
You know the high Speed corners.
136
00:07:34,740 --> 00:07:35,910
Yeah, Everywhere. You know.
137
00:07:35,910 --> 00:07:38,010
We just weren't weren't very competitive
last week.
138
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:38,670
We you call.
139
00:07:38,670 --> 00:07:42,960
It out by it. Sorry, we you expecting more
where you caught out by the problems.
140
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:48,060
Yeah, I mean, I wasn't what we were expecting
hoping for after a really strong race on
141
00:07:48,750 --> 00:07:49,830
Sunday and Austin.
142
00:07:50,340 --> 00:07:53,580
And we started from the pit lane changed a
few things from the car.
143
00:07:53,820 --> 00:07:56,760
Um, you know had a strong race on Sunday and
Austin.
144
00:07:57,090 --> 00:07:58,770
Finished on the points. Then going to
Mexico.
145
00:07:59,250 --> 00:08:00,330
Really struggling again.
146
00:08:00,330 --> 00:08:02,400
So, um, not.
147
00:08:02,610 --> 00:08:04,380
You know what we were hoping for last
weekend.
148
00:08:04,860 --> 00:08:06,960
But, um, we'll see what we can do this
weekend.
149
00:08:07,530 --> 00:08:08,940
¿We'll have you got some ideas for this
weekend?
150
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,860
¿Do you think you'll be more competitive?
151
00:08:11,850 --> 00:08:14,250
Um, I hope so we have a few ideas for sure.
152
00:08:14,250 --> 00:08:21,060
I think a lot of you know analysis is going
into, Uh, last weekend coming into this
153
00:08:21,060 --> 00:08:22,560
weekend. So, um.
154
00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:25,640
Yeah. We'll see how we go labs.
155
00:08:25,650 --> 00:08:28,800
It's been such a Topsy turvy season for Aston
Martin.
156
00:08:29,250 --> 00:08:33,870
If you took the car that you have now back
to Bahrein.
157
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,790
Would it be faster or slower.
158
00:08:36,330 --> 00:08:37,620
Then at the start of the year.
159
00:08:38,460 --> 00:08:39,840
Um, I don't know.
160
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,130
It's a good question.
161
00:08:41,130 --> 00:08:42,870
I mean, we started the season really strong.
162
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:47,160
Um, you know. I was kind of fighting
finishing on the top five.
163
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,450
And, um.
164
00:08:49,170 --> 00:08:51,810
Yeah, I mean, you know coming into Bahrein.
165
00:08:51,810 --> 00:08:55,620
We were. You know second kind of quickest
car.
166
00:08:56,190 --> 00:08:59,700
Um, but it's been more challenging lately.
167
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:03,780
So it's tough question, but you know the
formula ones development race throughout the
168
00:09:03,780 --> 00:09:10,350
year. So um, I think there's no doubt you
know teams have improved that's a relative
169
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:15,540
game. Um, you know no one has the same car
that they had at the first race of the
170
00:09:15,540 --> 00:09:18,630
season. So um, though to say, but.
171
00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:20,990
Y good question.
172
00:09:22,190 --> 00:09:24,370
All right. We'll leave it there. Thank you
very much land now.
173
00:09:24,380 --> 00:09:31,070
Let's go to you. Now the minus dos weeks for
you before the Netflix CUP.
174
00:09:31,550 --> 00:09:32,960
Just prior to the last Vegas.
175
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:35,180
¿Are you in good shape on the golf, course?
176
00:09:38,210 --> 00:09:39,370
Nope. Um.
177
00:09:39,770 --> 00:09:42,170
I played yesterday here in Sao Paulo.
178
00:09:42,170 --> 00:09:48,890
But, uh, well, but now I'm I'm feeling
right.
179
00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:54,740
I'm not. I'm not been playing a lot of golf
at all over the last few months just for
180
00:09:54,740 --> 00:09:58,910
different reasons so I've kind of lost lost
touch, but I try to get back into it in the
181
00:09:58,910 --> 00:10:01,130
last. Um, I say a few days.
182
00:10:01,850 --> 00:10:06,200
Um, and I will continue to before vegas next
week and before the uh, before the event.
183
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,020
So I'm sure I'll be all right.
184
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,610
At least to get carried by my teammate.
185
00:10:11,180 --> 00:10:12,560
¿Who is your teammate? ¿Can you give us any
details?
186
00:10:13,970 --> 00:10:17,450
Um, I don't know if I'm allowed or not, but
sure.
187
00:10:18,830 --> 00:10:20,440
Rickie Fowler. Um.
188
00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:24,770
I'm not going to say is a nickname, but, um.
189
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,950
Yeah. Ricky and a good guy.
190
00:10:27,950 --> 00:10:29,360
I mean, I watched all of the all of the
guys.
191
00:10:30,740 --> 00:10:34,850
Um, and Ricky is kind of a bit more back on
form lately.
192
00:10:34,850 --> 00:10:36,770
As um, yeah.
193
00:10:36,830 --> 00:10:40,190
Lately. I would say comparing to I was a
beginning of the year and last couple years.
194
00:10:40,190 --> 00:10:44,600
So I'm excited to be the first live event
for Netflix which is a cool thing to be part
195
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,940
of um nice course and everything and, uh,
yeah, I do know like how it how event is
196
00:10:49,940 --> 00:10:51,590
going to work, but I'm sure it's going to be
good fun.
197
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,290
To bring you in quickly.
198
00:10:54,290 --> 00:10:55,370
You're a very good golfer.
199
00:10:55,370 --> 00:10:56,690
Well, you're not tempted to play in this.
200
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,830
I used to be and I guess when I played more.
201
00:11:00,830 --> 00:11:02,060
I haven't really played much lately.
202
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,680
Um, but yeah, I'm starting to get my swing
back.
203
00:11:07,070 --> 00:11:12,410
So um, I was I was there yesterday at the
same club as as lando and a few of the other
204
00:11:12,410 --> 00:11:15,560
guys and getting back into the groove of of
it.
205
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:16,490
All right.
206
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,560
Lando back to you. Um, I hope you've been
basking in the glory of a great race on
207
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:22,940
Sunday. ¿What was your secret?
208
00:11:24,620 --> 00:11:28,880
Basking. Um, just, uh.
209
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,900
What was my secret qualifying badly was my
secret.
210
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:39,170
Um, makes it a lot more fun coming from um
starting out the back.
211
00:11:39,170 --> 00:11:42,650
So I mean, the pace was great all weekend.
212
00:11:42,950 --> 00:11:44,840
Um, maybe not amazing qualifying.
213
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,730
But good enough easily to be in trees and so
forth.
214
00:11:47,150 --> 00:11:50,240
So, Um, we knew the pace was going to be
good on Sunday.
215
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,910
Maybe not almost as good as what it was
Come.
216
00:11:53,390 --> 00:11:55,280
Come. Especially that that final stint.
217
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,480
I think the first one was good.
218
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,670
But just hard to make a lot of um progress
at the beginning, but the second stint.
219
00:12:01,670 --> 00:12:04,460
Yeah, You know 11 you. You get the this in a
good window.
220
00:12:04,460 --> 00:12:06,020
And and things start to come towards you.
221
00:12:06,020 --> 00:12:08,960
Then um things start to flow and feel very
good out there.
222
00:12:08,990 --> 00:12:10,730
So many different reasons.
223
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:13,820
But yeah, Just, um good pace a good thing.
224
00:12:13,820 --> 00:12:18,110
We're good management and, um, yeah, made it
a very enjoyable race.
225
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:19,580
¿Could you have challenged Max?
226
00:12:19,580 --> 00:12:20,600
¿If you started at the front?
227
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:22,980
Oh, no, no, no.
228
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,390
Chance.
229
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,530
All right. What about here, then Lando.
230
00:12:25,580 --> 00:12:27,740
¿How hopeful are you? For the soul, Paulo.
231
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,560
Um. I mean, I don't know like this.
232
00:12:30,830 --> 00:12:32,210
I had answering this question.
233
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,560
Um, I don't think anyone knows really just
some weekends.
234
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:38,090
We're good. Sometimes not so good.
235
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:44,030
Um, definitely like hearing here in Mexico
where the races We want expecting to be too
236
00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:46,930
too strong. Compared to cutter and zucker
and things like that.
237
00:12:46,940 --> 00:12:50,240
So um, not expecting to set the world on
fire.
238
00:12:50,510 --> 00:12:53,360
But I think, uh, considering how good Mexico
was in a race.
239
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:54,410
And where we potentially could have
finished.
240
00:12:54,740 --> 00:12:58,580
If we started higher up, then I still look
forward to it, but it's never attended to be
241
00:12:58,580 --> 00:13:01,030
our our strongest weekend or one of the
Strongest weekends.
242
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,610
So yeah, we'll keep up on the ground and
keep pushing.
243
00:13:05,090 --> 00:13:06,620
Um, but I'm sure we can still have a good.
244
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:07,690
Good weekend. All right.
245
00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:09,550
Best of luck to you. Thank you, Landon.
246
00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:11,300
Now, let's open this to the floor.
247
00:13:11,390 --> 00:13:14,210
Please remember to give your name and
publication first question.
248
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:17,600
Please name of sky sports F1.
249
00:13:17,870 --> 00:13:19,400
This question is for all of the drivers.
250
00:13:19,610 --> 00:13:21,800
We are heading into our last sprint.
251
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,640
Race of the season there were some mixed
feelings about the sprint race earlier this
252
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,620
year on both on the grid and off the grid.
253
00:13:27,620 --> 00:13:31,220
So I'd love to get all of your reflections
on how it's been the season.
254
00:13:32,390 --> 00:13:35,570
I would like to start with that, Daniel, we
haven't heard from you for a while.
255
00:13:36,950 --> 00:13:38,420
I think Yeah. I've done.
256
00:13:39,450 --> 00:13:42,400
For but it was a sprint.
257
00:13:42,420 --> 00:13:47,040
I think Yeah. Then Ashton, so I've out of
now which would be my fit race three of them
258
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:56,340
have been sprints. So I'm like a sprint
between I I I like um,
259
00:13:56,940 --> 00:14:02,280
I like some of them in terms of I think
there's I think there's room for a few of
260
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,600
them across the calendar.
261
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,060
Um, it does change it up a little bit.
262
00:14:06,330 --> 00:14:08,610
I still like prefer a conventional weekend.
263
00:14:08,610 --> 00:14:09,780
You know if it's one or the other.
264
00:14:10,140 --> 00:14:15,600
I'll take the conventional, but look if we
have obviously a race a season of twenty
265
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:16,620
three. Twenty four races.
266
00:14:16,620 --> 00:14:18,600
If half a dozen of them a sprint.
267
00:14:18,870 --> 00:14:22,020
I think yeah. Adds a little bit of It's a
little bit a space.
268
00:14:22,660 --> 00:14:27,960
Um, but I wouldn't want to go down like the
say the MotoGP GP rout and have it every
269
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:28,470
weekend.
270
00:14:29,670 --> 00:14:30,510
Okay. Thank you, Max.
271
00:14:30,660 --> 00:14:32,220
Yeah. It's been Absolutely Fantastic.
272
00:14:35,220 --> 00:14:42,140
So much fun. Would I get so excited by
having a sprint again.
273
00:14:45,950 --> 00:14:46,730
I'm all for it.
274
00:14:49,730 --> 00:14:53,830
Ok. Lance, please your thoughts.
275
00:14:55,450 --> 00:14:58,180
I mean. Yeah. I don't mind them.
276
00:14:58,180 --> 00:15:01,720
I think it's it's exciting every time you
get in the car.
277
00:15:02,290 --> 00:15:05,140
You know, there's something a fight for and
um.
278
00:15:06,130 --> 00:15:09,730
Yeah, More action for everyone kind of
watching back home too.
279
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,780
Um, sometimes I kind of I felt like last
week.
280
00:15:13,990 --> 00:15:15,790
You know after having the sprint and Austin.
281
00:15:16,810 --> 00:15:21,730
Um, and then going to mexico and kind of
having that you know more normal weekend.
282
00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:24,430
I felt like there was a lot of practice.
283
00:15:24,430 --> 00:15:25,450
And just you know.
284
00:15:25,450 --> 00:15:30,420
Friday was a long day and, um, Austin was
kind of just full on.
285
00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:33,640
You know every every session.
286
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:39,010
Just like I said something a something a
fight for and Yeah, I think it was a much
287
00:15:39,010 --> 00:15:41,560
more kind of exciting weekend.
288
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,910
Then then mexico.
289
00:15:42,940 --> 00:15:45,260
So, um, I definitely think it.
290
00:15:45,340 --> 00:15:48,760
You know spices things up and, um, makes it.
291
00:15:49,540 --> 00:15:51,610
Yeah. Interesting for everyone watching a
home.
292
00:15:53,710 --> 00:15:54,430
Landing, please.
293
00:15:58,070 --> 00:16:03,950
I'm in the middle. I've always liked the
weekends to be honest.
294
00:16:03,950 --> 00:16:06,170
So if I could just choose I just go back to
having that.
295
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:11,000
But um, the reason is for the fans and to
put on more of a show and things like that.
296
00:16:11,540 --> 00:16:13,490
I like the challenge of just one qualifying.
297
00:16:13,490 --> 00:16:15,350
I think it's better. I think it's for me.
298
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:18,380
More enjoyable more of a challenge for the
engineers and for us as driver's.
299
00:16:19,250 --> 00:16:22,280
Um so if we just had a one qualifying and a
main race.
300
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,840
You know Saturday Sunday they'll be nice.
301
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,940
Um, those days.
302
00:16:25,970 --> 00:16:27,920
So, Uh, yeah.
303
00:16:27,950 --> 00:16:29,180
I think that's maybe the only thing.
304
00:16:29,180 --> 00:16:31,550
But, um, it's not my choice.
305
00:16:31,580 --> 00:16:32,270
So it doesn't matter.
306
00:16:38,430 --> 00:16:43,070
Okay. Welcome back to part of our drivers
Press conference here in Sao Paulo.
307
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,990
We have five drivers with us this time a
closest to me.
308
00:16:46,380 --> 00:16:48,220
Carlos Sainz. Lewis Hamilton.
309
00:16:48,390 --> 00:16:50,880
Hola. Claire. Logan Sargent y Valtteri
Bottas.
310
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,270
¿Valtteri Can we start with you?
311
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,460
You seem to have lost something since we
last show you in Mexico.
312
00:16:57,990 --> 00:17:03,130
That is correct. It's november so got to
start from cero actually doing for charity.
313
00:17:03,150 --> 00:17:05,010
So for november.
314
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:06,720
I had a bit of a scare this morning.
315
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,470
When I look in the mirror. But only a few
days and we're good.
316
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,420
So how can people sponsor you if they want
to.
317
00:17:13,290 --> 00:17:17,340
I've got my own movember page you can find
the link from my link tree on my Instagram
318
00:17:17,340 --> 00:17:17,700
account.
319
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,110
Excellent, Excellent.
320
00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:20,990
Well, look. Good luck with that now.
321
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,780
Let's, uh. Let's throw it back to last week.
322
00:17:24,780 --> 00:17:26,100
End. It was a baby.
323
00:17:26,130 --> 00:17:30,020
It was a disappointing race for you guys
after a great qualifying.
324
00:17:30,030 --> 00:17:32,370
Do you understand now the issues with the
car.
325
00:17:34,020 --> 00:17:38,460
I think the race space wasn't quite as we
were hoping for, but the bigger issue was
326
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,860
track position pretty much the whole race
being stuck behind behind cars and that way
327
00:17:43,860 --> 00:17:46,740
you can't really show the pace and and see
the real place.
328
00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:48,140
So I think that was the bigger issue.
329
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:50,580
So not the luckiest race as well with
timings.
330
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,630
You know safety car be came for both of us
in the worst possible timing.
331
00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:56,670
So it's just a bit unlucky as well.
332
00:17:56,820 --> 00:17:57,090
Okay.
333
00:17:57,090 --> 00:17:59,550
So not so concerned about the pace of the
car.
334
00:17:59,850 --> 00:18:02,520
And does that give you a little bit more
confidence coming to Sao Paulo.
335
00:18:03,090 --> 00:18:04,560
It does I think we had a good one here.
336
00:18:04,710 --> 00:18:05,880
Last year in pace.
337
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,180
So yeah, I have full confidence that we can
score.
338
00:18:09,630 --> 00:18:11,550
And that's what everyone, I'd seem needs to
believe.
339
00:18:12,750 --> 00:18:16,650
Now you had the team dinner last night having
lost a little bit of ground in the
340
00:18:16,650 --> 00:18:18,890
Constructors Championship to alphatauri.
341
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,850
Um. ¿What was the move in the camp?
342
00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:25,020
Just tell us a little bit about how everyone
was and how bullish people are feeling
343
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:26,520
Everyone wants.
344
00:18:27,030 --> 00:18:30,150
You know everyone has the the right mentality
we we know that.
345
00:18:30,150 --> 00:18:34,500
Yeah. We didn't succeed in the last event or
in the last couple of events.
346
00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:36,720
But it's important to get together.
347
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,160
You know make sure that we all work as a
team towards the same goal.
348
00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:42,690
So, it was nice to get together.
349
00:18:43,260 --> 00:18:44,270
All right. Good luck.
350
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,660
This weekend. Thank you very much, Logan.
351
00:18:45,660 --> 00:18:49,980
Let's come to you, Then you've done here
last year.
352
00:18:50,490 --> 00:18:52,230
¿How important is that going to be for you?
353
00:18:52,230 --> 00:18:53,850
This weekend given that we're going into a
sprint.
354
00:18:55,830 --> 00:18:59,280
A sprint race last year and still did FP2
with a different format.
355
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,750
But, um. Yeah.
356
00:19:00,990 --> 00:19:02,370
I mean, it was pretty much a session.
357
00:19:02,370 --> 00:19:04,700
Where I was just told u don't use curves.
358
00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:06,680
Look after the car was already under a park
for me.
359
00:19:06,690 --> 00:19:09,210
But, um, no, it's still good to know the
track.
360
00:19:09,540 --> 00:19:10,980
It's a sprint weekend so that's going to be
tricky.
361
00:19:11,970 --> 00:19:16,110
Um, whether looks a bit mixed, but um, yeah,
at least have a base understanding of it.
362
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,090
Not look on the race pace has been really
strong for the last few events, but you've
363
00:19:21,090 --> 00:19:24,660
said since Sunday that you're looking for a
breakthrough in qualifying.
364
00:19:24,660 --> 00:19:25,500
¿What do you mean by that?
365
00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:27,950
Yeah, I think um.
366
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,710
It's been a like you said a few sundays on
the balance.
367
00:19:31,710 --> 00:19:36,330
¿Which is nice? Um, but yeah, Saturdays
having gone as well for for multiple
368
00:19:36,330 --> 00:19:39,990
different reasons. Um, but yeah, I think
it's all there.
369
00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:43,800
Just need to to do it and we can start by
doing that this weekend.
370
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,320
Put ourselves further up the grid and keep
our strong sundays.
371
00:19:46,590 --> 00:19:52,020
And how are you feeling about the team still
waiting until the end of the year to confirm
372
00:19:52,020 --> 00:19:53,730
you or otherwise for next year.
373
00:19:53,850 --> 00:19:55,200
¿Are you happy with that situation?
374
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,090
Or do you wish they just get on and make a
decision.
375
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:58,320
Yeah, I.
376
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,860
Mean, it is what it is. I'm just taking it
race by race.
377
00:20:01,890 --> 00:20:05,730
I think you know as as I said sundays are
getting stronger and stronger.
378
00:20:05,730 --> 00:20:07,440
So now just about getting qualifying
together.
379
00:20:08,070 --> 00:20:09,840
Um. Take it race by race.
380
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,120
Enjoy every weekend. And um, whatever it
leaves us.
381
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:16,860
It does not a bit odd to be asking you about
being given that we haven't even started this
382
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:22,650
weekend, but it's your third home race in
dos weeks time Williams.
383
00:20:22,650 --> 00:20:26,820
I think I've just released their vegas march
for the weekend.
384
00:20:26,820 --> 00:20:30,720
Just tell us a little bit about how you're
going to prepare for that home race between
385
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,370
now and the vegas.
386
00:20:33,150 --> 00:20:35,370
Well, that's going to be a busy one for me
for sure.
387
00:20:35,460 --> 00:20:38,130
Um, we already have a lot of media lined up.
388
00:20:38,130 --> 00:20:39,720
But, um, no other than that.
389
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,780
We we have a we've already done our our work
on the sim.
390
00:20:42,780 --> 00:20:47,730
Which is nice to have been able to do that
um go back do a little bit more after this
391
00:20:47,730 --> 00:20:49,890
weekend. And then just.
392
00:20:50,340 --> 00:20:51,360
Yeah. Get ready.
393
00:20:51,690 --> 00:20:54,390
Relax. Go through the normal routine and.
394
00:20:55,390 --> 00:20:59,320
It's going to be cool because I raised in
vegas multiple times in carding as a kid so
395
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,380
to be able to go back there and race new one
is going to be a special weekend.
396
00:21:02,710 --> 00:21:03,040
All right.
397
00:21:03,340 --> 00:21:05,090
Good luck. This weekend. Thank you, Logan.
398
00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:09,730
So, Let's let's Come to you Now, so we've
established since mexico that you're better
399
00:21:09,730 --> 00:21:11,410
at chess than Pierre Gasly.
400
00:21:12,730 --> 00:21:13,630
I am I.
401
00:21:13,630 --> 00:21:14,730
Am. Oh, yeah.
402
00:21:14,740 --> 00:21:20,380
We have to play for sure. But I am better
than this one game.
403
00:21:20,380 --> 00:21:24,220
And now you're telling everybody on social
media and feels that it's a bit unfair.
404
00:21:24,850 --> 00:21:30,730
Yeah, but we only played one so I want
hundred percent of the times which is a good
405
00:21:31,060 --> 00:21:35,020
to have, but I'm sure we'll have a many more
chances to to play together.
406
00:21:35,380 --> 00:21:35,610
All right.
407
00:21:35,740 --> 00:21:38,020
And before we come on to the business end of.
408
00:21:38,020 --> 00:21:39,220
¿What's happening here in Brasil?
409
00:21:39,250 --> 00:21:43,620
Tell us a little bit about what you got up
to on Tuesday at an center is.
410
00:21:43,630 --> 00:21:45,490
Of course one of your heroes.
411
00:21:46,300 --> 00:21:46,780
¿How was it?
412
00:21:47,290 --> 00:21:50,710
Oh, yes. Elton is the one and only idol.
413
00:21:50,710 --> 00:21:58,210
I've ever had um and the foundation on the
family invited me at the Foundation in San
414
00:21:58,210 --> 00:22:00,610
Paulo. So I had a chance to see the car.
415
00:22:00,610 --> 00:22:08,980
He has been racing in also few helmets that
he's been using and it was really really
416
00:22:08,980 --> 00:22:12,970
emotional. And and also the family has been
welcoming me in the best way possible.
417
00:22:13,510 --> 00:22:20,160
Um, Viviana, has explained me many stories
and also the stories of the helmets and and
418
00:22:20,170 --> 00:22:23,740
the cabeceen there and it was a very very
special moment for me for sure.
419
00:22:25,230 --> 00:22:27,270
Now. Let's bring it on to the ontrack action
here.
420
00:22:27,990 --> 00:22:31,950
¿How confident are you first of all of
getting a hattrick of pool positions?
421
00:22:33,990 --> 00:22:37,830
When it's always nice, but at the same time
for me.
422
00:22:37,830 --> 00:22:43,350
It matters the most on Sunday and on races
and at the time we, we don't we don't really
423
00:22:43,350 --> 00:22:44,970
have the car in order to.
424
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:51,320
Make those poll positions a win or at least
a really good result on Sunday.
425
00:22:51,330 --> 00:22:57,480
So we really have to work on that and that's
where we are all focusing at at the moment to
426
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:02,030
try and find performance coming the race and
we still got quite a bit of work to do.
427
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,660
So it will be amazing to be on pole.
428
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,150
But I will rather have a wind.
429
00:23:06,150 --> 00:23:07,460
And then all this weekend.
430
00:23:07,470 --> 00:23:08,520
¿Do you think the harder?
431
00:23:09,150 --> 00:23:13,530
Excuse me. Do you think the harder their
compounds here in Brasil Compared to Mexico.
432
00:23:13,530 --> 00:23:14,610
Will help you in the race.
433
00:23:15,810 --> 00:23:18,510
I don't know. I don't think this as a big
influence on our performance.
434
00:23:18,510 --> 00:23:24,600
I think it's more down to the truck
characteristics and but again it's very
435
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,710
difficult to predict this weekend and
especially on sprint weekends FP1 is super
436
00:23:28,710 --> 00:23:30,420
importante. It's very easy to do a.
437
00:23:32,430 --> 00:23:38,310
Put a foot in the direction if that's a good
expression and then and then the whole
438
00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:41,910
weekend you can recover if you do a mistake
in FP1 with the with a setup.
439
00:23:41,910 --> 00:23:47,100
So it's going to be super important to have
a strong FP1 and hopefully that will be a
440
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:48,300
positive weekend for us.
441
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,680
Good luck with that. Thank you, Louis.
442
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:55,830
Coming to you. So just how special is this
weekend for you.
443
00:23:55,830 --> 00:24:00,150
You're an honorary citizen you have a great
record here at Interlagos center.
444
00:24:00,150 --> 00:24:04,590
Of course was a hero in fact love the the
outfit that you came to the track in today.
445
00:24:04,590 --> 00:24:07,380
Just tell us a little bit about what this
race means to you.
446
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,810
Yeah. So it's been a special race for me.
447
00:24:09,810 --> 00:24:12,150
I mean, I want my first championship here.
448
00:24:12,660 --> 00:24:17,370
Um, it was kind of crazy back, then because
I kind of felt like public enemy number one
449
00:24:18,660 --> 00:24:19,770
was raising against Philippe.
450
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:26,730
But um, the growth that I've felt here and
the reception that I've had here the amazing
451
00:24:26,730 --> 00:24:28,770
support. But I mean just as a kid.
452
00:24:28,770 --> 00:24:32,340
I grown up at home being a fan of football.
453
00:24:32,340 --> 00:24:40,200
For example, uh, always love the brazilian
colors and me and my brother would play FIFA
454
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,960
for example and he could always take the uk.
455
00:24:43,350 --> 00:24:45,570
You know England. So it always always take
Brasil.
456
00:24:45,930 --> 00:24:51,690
So and then it was Eastern centers so
mentioned just such a big hero for so many of
457
00:24:51,690 --> 00:24:54,030
us. Um, and when you come out here.
458
00:24:54,030 --> 00:24:55,110
You really feel this presence.
459
00:24:55,290 --> 00:24:57,510
Um, and it's just such a beautiful culture.
460
00:24:57,510 --> 00:24:59,700
And the track is is iconic.
461
00:24:59,700 --> 00:25:02,040
You know there they don't build circuits
like this anymore.
462
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,070
So it's a race that I think all the drivers
really love.
463
00:25:05,460 --> 00:25:09,750
So that it's fun to drive a single lap, but
the race is a very strong here you've got
464
00:25:09,750 --> 00:25:14,600
that long straight which you can never take
and follow through those one and one too and
465
00:25:14,610 --> 00:25:16,950
three and then have a fight down to turn
four.
466
00:25:17,220 --> 00:25:18,690
So good over taking place as well.
467
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:25,320
And given your podium Last weekend given the
pace of the car here with the one too last
468
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,900
year. ¿What are your expectations for this
weekend?
469
00:25:28,890 --> 00:25:32,460
I don't really know. I think uh, expect the
red bull to be very fast.
470
00:25:33,180 --> 00:25:34,950
So always seems to work.
471
00:25:34,950 --> 00:25:36,750
Pretty much everywhere except for Singapore.
472
00:25:37,170 --> 00:25:40,860
And, um, we expect the Ferraris to be quick.
473
00:25:41,460 --> 00:25:42,510
I hope that our car works.
474
00:25:42,510 --> 00:25:48,630
Well, here like it did in for example for
for Austin, but you could just never predict
475
00:25:48,660 --> 00:25:49,920
What it could be bad.
476
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,770
It could be good. So we're just trying to
prepare the best way.
477
00:25:52,770 --> 00:25:53,100
We can.
478
00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:56,940
And how do you see the fight in the
constructors Championship between Mercedes
479
00:25:56,940 --> 00:26:00,420
and Ferrari. You've got the advantage by
points at the moment.
480
00:26:00,450 --> 00:26:05,820
Yeah. Um, it's a really fun enjoyable battle
having these guys did a great job in
481
00:26:05,820 --> 00:26:07,020
qualifying at the last race.
482
00:26:07,020 --> 00:26:12,750
But unfortunately we're able to leapfrog
them, but I think um it's going to be close
483
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,580
and this and this last three races.
484
00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:18,810
So it's going to just take all hands on deck
to to stop.
485
00:26:18,810 --> 00:26:19,290
These guys.
486
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:20,310
All right, Louis.
487
00:26:20,820 --> 00:26:22,800
Thank you very much, Carlos.
488
00:26:23,010 --> 00:26:26,970
Thank you for waiting a bit of golf chat
before we get into the real business.
489
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,640
Um. ¿How are your preparations for the
Netflix CUP?
490
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:30,210
¿Coming along?
491
00:26:30,930 --> 00:26:32,100
Yeah, all good. Yeah.
492
00:26:32,100 --> 00:26:37,200
I'm playing as much as I can, but not as much
as I would like because of how busy we are
493
00:26:37,650 --> 00:26:41,310
with the with the one, but yeah, hopefully
next week.
494
00:26:41,310 --> 00:26:48,180
I'm getting a few rounds in I'm gonna go on
holiday for yeah a week before vegas staying
495
00:26:48,180 --> 00:26:51,930
out in the us and and then flying there so
by the time.
496
00:26:51,930 --> 00:26:55,710
I get there. I'm hoping to be a bit warmed
up for the match.
497
00:26:56,250 --> 00:26:57,810
¿Can you give us any details who's your
teammate?
498
00:26:59,250 --> 00:27:01,680
I've been told, but I think I'm not supposed
to tell you.
499
00:27:02,550 --> 00:27:07,260
I would be revealing something that Netflix
wants to reveal so it's not.
500
00:27:07,260 --> 00:27:07,590
Louis.
501
00:27:08,250 --> 00:27:09,570
Charles Logan.
502
00:27:10,570 --> 00:27:12,630
No, no and playing with a golfer.
503
00:27:12,780 --> 00:27:15,870
Yeah, So that's but I think yeah.
504
00:27:15,900 --> 00:27:17,820
I don't want a screw it up.
505
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,580
I think Netflix might want to announce that
themselves.
506
00:27:21,660 --> 00:27:24,540
All right. Although maybe there there.
507
00:27:24,780 --> 00:27:25,470
Maybe can i.
508
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:27,250
Okay.
509
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,070
Crack on the.
510
00:27:28,070 --> 00:27:33,470
Floor is yours, but let's let's pick up on
that constructors battle that Lewis was just
511
00:27:33,470 --> 00:27:36,320
talking about. ¿How did you see it between
Ferrari y Mercedes?
512
00:27:37,220 --> 00:27:38,950
I do believe a Mercedes.
513
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,440
Has a bit the upper and mainly because they
are reading the Championship and twenty
514
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:49,130
points is is quite a bit and also given that
points are are done on Sunday and that's
515
00:27:49,130 --> 00:27:51,530
where the mercedes comes stronger and we are
the weakest.
516
00:27:51,860 --> 00:27:54,290
I think for sure they have a bit of the
upper end.
517
00:27:54,290 --> 00:27:58,970
But you know at least we're managing to keep
the pressure on and they can not afford to to
518
00:27:58,970 --> 00:28:04,040
make any mistakes because we are there to to
capitalize on them and it's it's a fun battle
519
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:08,360
like Lewis said, we're always very close to
each other in the races normally it's them
520
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:14,120
chasing us or over taking us in the race and
hopefully we can revert that in the last
521
00:28:14,120 --> 00:28:18,440
three races and at least not get overtaken
and managed to finish ahead, because that's
522
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:19,820
where where the points are given.
523
00:28:20,510 --> 00:28:24,260
Let's follow up from what Saul was saying
about the race space of the car.
524
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:26,780
¿How did you assess the performance on
Sunday?
525
00:28:28,110 --> 00:28:30,450
I think we simply have a bit of a weakness
there.
526
00:28:30,690 --> 00:28:33,570
No, It's been there all all all year.
527
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,740
We always tend to do better in qualifying
that we do in the race.
528
00:28:38,580 --> 00:28:40,440
Then we have the consistency of the stints.
529
00:28:40,470 --> 00:28:43,770
There's some stints during the year that
we've been very good in the race and then
530
00:28:43,770 --> 00:28:48,210
other things that we've lost out a lot
depending on the compound on and track
531
00:28:48,210 --> 00:28:50,100
conditions and the way we treat the tiers.
532
00:28:50,110 --> 00:28:54,690
So we just simply seem to be a bit less
consistent in that front and that's where we
533
00:28:54,690 --> 00:29:00,630
are putting all of our efforts into this
last three races and going into next year to
534
00:29:00,630 --> 00:29:04,530
see if we can manage to change that déficit
that we have all right.
535
00:29:05,070 --> 00:29:06,690
Thank you very much to all five of you.
536
00:29:06,690 --> 00:29:08,280
Let's open this to the floor.
537
00:29:08,670 --> 00:29:09,810
Name and publication Naomi.
538
00:29:10,380 --> 00:29:11,880
Naomi Schiff, Sky Sports F1.
539
00:29:11,910 --> 00:29:13,650
My question is to all of the drivers.
540
00:29:13,650 --> 00:29:16,350
I ask the same question to the last group of
drivers that we're in here.
541
00:29:16,350 --> 00:29:19,560
We heading into the last one final sprints
of the season.
542
00:29:19,890 --> 00:29:22,920
There was some mixed feelings about it both
on the grid and off the grid.
543
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,080
I'd love to get all of your reflections on
it.
544
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:27,870
We haven't heard from you for a while.
545
00:29:28,590 --> 00:29:30,000
I like the sprint always.
546
00:29:30,630 --> 00:29:33,420
Yeah. I've never been a big fan of three
practice sessions.
547
00:29:33,870 --> 00:29:38,760
I prefer to have one and then straight to
action so that's the nice side of a sprint
548
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,740
weekend. Obviously, Yeah, there's always
things that could be changed example for us
549
00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:44,750
as a team at the moment.
550
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,990
Unfortunately it is only top eight that can
can score in the sprint.
551
00:29:49,020 --> 00:29:53,340
So most often it's a bit of a long shot at
the moment for us.
552
00:29:53,340 --> 00:29:54,930
¿Which is you know?
553
00:29:54,930 --> 00:29:59,430
Not not ideal, But of course, it's depends
in which you are, but other other than that.
554
00:29:59,430 --> 00:30:01,500
I'm I'm more than happy to do a sprint.
555
00:30:02,310 --> 00:30:03,000
Logan, please.
556
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,450
Um for me. It's not preferred.
557
00:30:06,450 --> 00:30:07,470
I think one is a rookie.
558
00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:08,970
It's nice to have the the three practice
sessions.
559
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:14,580
But on top of that I just feel like Saturday
is a bit of a stand alone day that doesn't
560
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,540
offer a whole lot as as Valtteri said if
you're not in the top eight.
561
00:30:18,540 --> 00:30:20,070
So um yeah.
562
00:30:20,070 --> 00:30:21,090
I prefer a normal weekend.
563
00:30:23,430 --> 00:30:25,230
Um, I like it.
564
00:30:25,260 --> 00:30:27,840
I like the fact of having only one three
practice session.
565
00:30:28,050 --> 00:30:30,150
Um, I don't think we should have more than
six.
566
00:30:30,510 --> 00:30:32,520
Sprint weekends over a year.
567
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:33,540
I think six is good.
568
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,290
Um, but to have one free practice and go
straight to qualifying is something.
569
00:30:37,290 --> 00:30:40,500
I enjoy. I think the Saturday could be
changed and improved.
570
00:30:40,980 --> 00:30:47,790
Um, but I really like the the Friday to not
have three, three, three practice sessions is
571
00:30:47,790 --> 00:30:49,920
is really long and sometimes it can get a
bit boring.
572
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,140
We always go through the same program.
573
00:30:52,410 --> 00:30:57,200
So I like the fact of having only one three
practice and go straight to action with with
574
00:30:57,210 --> 00:30:57,660
qualifying.
575
00:30:59,570 --> 00:31:01,340
Yeah, I feel pretty much the same as these
guys.
576
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,500
Um, Saturday is kind of a.
577
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,240
Not the greatest of of days, but I like the
single practice session straight into
578
00:31:09,250 --> 00:31:14,920
quality. I think we can we can learn I love
that we do have a different format rather
579
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,070
than just the same tree practice sessions
and then the quality in the race.
580
00:31:18,610 --> 00:31:25,930
But, um, the best sprint rise I ever had was
when I started last and so I'm in favour of
581
00:31:25,930 --> 00:31:30,760
the stopping order except if we had that,
then everyone would just try and qualify
582
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,740
last. Um, so um, but I think you know.
583
00:31:36,190 --> 00:31:39,490
Maybe should be a little bit longer this
because it's like nineteen laps or something.
584
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,350
Um. Yeah.
585
00:31:42,620 --> 00:31:42,900
Reverse.
586
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:45,570
Yeah, I wouldn't mind.
587
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:46,680
I think right now.
588
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,760
I agree that six is enough.
589
00:31:51,030 --> 00:31:55,260
¿I agree that Saturday is too revealing of
What's going to happen on Sunday?
590
00:31:55,860 --> 00:31:58,140
But it's basically the first thing of the
rise of Sunday.
591
00:31:58,140 --> 00:32:02,580
What you're going on on on TV and this is
doesn't help.
592
00:32:02,580 --> 00:32:04,380
I think the show for for the main race.
593
00:32:04,380 --> 00:32:08,340
That is the ground tree. So yeah arrived to
that point.
594
00:32:09,060 --> 00:32:13,500
You better try something else on those days
that reverse grids is that single lap
595
00:32:13,500 --> 00:32:19,050
qualifying is that whatever I don't know,
but I think even that the sprint format is a
596
00:32:19,050 --> 00:32:24,810
bit of a an experiment going on right now in
one I would be open to keep experimenting to
597
00:32:24,810 --> 00:32:27,600
see which format is his best because for me
the one we have now.
598
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,620
¿Saturday doesn't feel completely right for
what then comes on Sunday?51601
