Just approaching a new track you haven't had 43 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: time where you haven't raced on before, and we're track 44 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 2: temperatures that could be very, very low. Christian, what's the 45 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: approach for you and the team going into an event 46 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 2: like that? 47 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 5: One big a jacket? 48 00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 3: Is it that simple? 49 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 5: Yeah? 50 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 6: I was watching Max on the simulator yesterday driving around 51 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 6: the circuit. 52 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 5: It looks a great track. I mean it's going to 53 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 5: be super fast, there's going to be a. 54 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 6: Lot of overtaking opportunities, and the tires it could be 55 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 6: like driving on ice, you know, which just adds another dimension. So, 56 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 6: particularly on a road course, on a street circuit, that 57 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 6: can test the drivers and the team to the absolute maximum. 58 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 2: Christian When it comes to stuff like qualifying, then how 59 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: do you prepare to put that fast lap in that 60 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: you try to do to get that quality in? 61 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 3: How do you do that? 62 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 2: What do you do set up with three laps before 63 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: you go for the qualifying lap, what do you do? 64 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 6: Well, that's all going to come out of where we 65 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 6: run on Friday for the first time, sorry, on Thursday 66 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 6: for the first time. We're going to be learning, you know, 67 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 6: what it takes to get these preadie tires up to 68 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 6: temperature and is it going to be multiple laps in 69 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 6: qualifying rather than a single lap. So it could be 70 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 6: really interesting to see how that's how that's going to 71 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 6: play out. There's going to be a lot of data 72 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 6: to look at and yeah, there's emulators are going to 73 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 6: be working flat out on certainly Thursday evening. 74 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: Christian, any worries that this could just be a bit 75 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: of a disaster can end up in chaos. 76 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 5: Well, lot street races are always dramatic, you know. 77 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 6: We've seen that in Singapore, we've seen it in Azerbaishana 78 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 6: and of course Monte Carlo, and this one promises to 79 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 6: be a big one. 80 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 5: I think it's going to be one of the biggest 81 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 5: viewed events in. 82 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 6: The supporting calendar this year, and so you know, I'm 83 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 6: confident it's going to be a you know, a great success. 84 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 4: Christian Owner, I was apart by the accident very early 85 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 4: in the Brazil race. Your Perez was very much involved 86 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 4: in that. How do you make the start of the 87 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 4: races safer? 88 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 5: I don't think you can. 89 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 6: I mean, you've got cars that will accelerate from not 90 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 6: to one hundred miles an hour in less than two seconds, 91 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 6: and you've got twenty very competitive drivers all going, you know, 92 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 6: for to try and make position into that first turn. 93 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 5: So inevitably sometimes there is going to be contact. But 94 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 5: the safety of. 95 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 7: The cars, the safety of the circuits has increased dramatically, 96 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 7: and thankfully we're seeing drivers walking away from what sometimes 97 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,119 Speaker 7: looked like very nasty accidents. 98 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 2: Christian, you said twenty competitive drivers, Arguably there's nineteen and 99 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: then there's one guy on his own out in the front. 100 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: I want to talk about that the domination of Max Versteppan. 101 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 2: He's still so young, Christian, He's taken over Alan Prost, 102 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: He's basically on course to take over Vettel, maybe even 103 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: in the next couple of races. 104 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 3: In terms of race wins. 105 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 2: When you go back over the legends of this sport 106 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: that you've been so close to over the years, fanjo Senna, Schumacher, 107 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 2: even more recently Hamilton, what does Max rank for you? 108 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 3: What separates him from the rest? 109 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 6: Well, of course he's always incredibly difficult to compare drivers 110 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 6: from different generations. But what I think it's safe to 111 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 6: say with what Max has achieved in a short period 112 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 6: of time, with now three World Championships, fifty one or 113 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 6: fifty two compre victories, is an incredible, incredible called and 114 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 6: I think that that, you know, he can now be 115 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 6: spoken about in the same sentence, in the same category 116 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 6: as some of the greatest drivers that the sports has 117 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 6: ever seen. 118 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 3: How far do you think he can go, Christian, Well, 119 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: I think you. 120 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,239 Speaker 5: Know he's still so young. 121 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 6: He's still evolving as a driver, particularly as he gains 122 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 6: more experience. So and a lot depends on the equipment 123 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 6: that we can give him, but I think he can 124 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 6: achieve a lot more. He's motivated, he's hungry, and yeah, 125 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 6: he's he just loves his racing. You can see that 126 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 6: he's not interesting anything else other than just going racing. 127 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 2: He's been dominant. Your whole team has been absolutely dominant. 128 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 2: I remember Ferrari being accused of making a spot boring 129 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: in the Schumacher years. Do you take it as a 130 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: compliment when you hear those kind of accations thrown at 131 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 2: your team. 132 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 5: These are we're doing our job and that we're winning. 133 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 6: But one thing that's guaranteed in this sport is that 134 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 6: nothing stands tod and I think with stable regulations, we 135 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 6: can already see teams improving behind us, and I think 136 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 6: the next year it's going to converge and we're in 137 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 6: for a much more tight championship next year. And also, 138 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 6: you know, twenty five before another reset with new regulations 139 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 6: for twenty twenty six, So yeah, I'm expecting a much 140 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 6: much tougher year in twenty twenty four. 141 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 4: Christian to that point. And you know, I have my 142 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 4: autosport at home. John Ferrell made me get it. I 143 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 4: try to read it, I try to understand it. A 144 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 4: lot of your brethren are really trying to fix their 145 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 4: cars now for next year. 146 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,679 Speaker 3: What do you do when you're as strong as you've. 147 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 4: Been about tweaking the platform into the next season. Do 148 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 4: you leave it alone? Do you leave the car the 149 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 4: same as verstapping is known this year? Or do you 150 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 4: actually try to make improvements? 151 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 6: Well, you're always looking to improve because you can guarantee 152 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 6: our competitors are going to be going to be improving. 153 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 6: They will be copying some of the philosophy, you know, 154 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 6: of alcohol, that's undoubted. We're already seeing that starting to happen. 155 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 6: And we just got to keep trying to move the goalpost. 156 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 6: I try, you know, to try and keep develop up 157 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 6: and improving ourselves. 158 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 5: And so of course, you know for the last few 159 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 5: months the fact you've been very. 160 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 6: Very focused on that, but of course you start to 161 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 6: get into diminishing returns and you know it's going to 162 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 6: be tough to improve the RB twenty next year significantly 163 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 6: from where RB nineteen has been this year. 164 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 4: Take us in of the pit because to some of us. 165 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 4: You know, I watch Netflix and I think I'm an expert. 166 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 4: I'm not. Christian Horner, take us into the pit stop 167 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 4: or you're you know your two point three seconds, two 168 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 4: point eight seconds.

It's 171 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 5: all about practice. It's about analysis. 172 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 6: It's about the small incremental things, just where the driver stops. 173 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 6: You know, if he's two inches too long, then that 174 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 6: will affect the timing. 175 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 5: Of the stop. 176 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 6: So it's rehearsal is practice is positioning the right people 177 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 6: in the right roles, is having the right attitude and 178 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 6: the determination to continually to continue to improve and of 179 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 6: course be consistent. 180 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 2: Christine, let's talk about next year.

I thought the race that he 191 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 6: drove in in South Paolo was very strong, and his 192 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 6: race in Austin was strong, and you know, he's finding 193 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 6: his form again.
