1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Monza this weekend, very so fun.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 2: Week after week they take the road show from Zandvert

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 2: in the Netherlands down to near Milan.

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 3: Right, this is Ferrari's time race top speed of more

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 3: than two hundred miles an hour afterge speed is something

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 3: like one fifty one sixty that many turns. These guys

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 3: are going fast, tom This is like one of the

8
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 3: races on the calendar that I love to see. Unfortunately,

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 3: for Ferrari fans, things aren't going so well gone into

10
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 3: this weekend.

11
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: Lot's going on here and we can say good morning

12
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: to all of you worldwide who just love Formula one.

13
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: It's burgeoning. And what's Las Vegas? Are we going to

14
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: Las Vegas?

15
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 3: We can find tickets? Why don't you ask on this guest? Okay,

16
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 3: well get a tickets. Maybe you can get us tickets

17
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 3: as well. Who should we speak to?

18
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: And as we've talked to Christian Horner and others of

19
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: Formula one, there's always a desire to talk to the

20
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: gentleman who truly dominates and owns the high ground. And

21
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: John as you bring in mister Verstapp and all I

22
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: can say is this kid was in show. He was

23
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: in the show. He was in the big time before

24
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: he had his driver's license.

25
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: Amazing, amazing, isn't it?

26
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: Before he had the word Max Versteppen of Red Bull

27
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 3: Racing Joint us right now, Max, good morning, buddy. It's

28
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: great to catch up with you, sir. Nine wins in

29
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 3: a row just phenomenal. You're trying to make it ten

30
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 3: at Monster. How special would that be?

31
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, of course it's something that I never

32
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 4: even you know, thought about that that is even possible. Right,

33
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 4: But now that we have one nine in a row,

34
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 4: tying the record, of course you want more and I

35
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 4: think we have a we have a good opportunity. But

36
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 4: I von Reiss, I never straightforward. A lot of things

37
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 4: that can can happen. But yeah, I'm excited, of course

38
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 4: for the weekend.

39
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: Max. Let's go back a couple of decades.

40
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: Tell me back to the days when you're in a

41
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: go car and you've got to be around people like

42
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 3: Michael Schumacher and your father for that matter as well.

43
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 3: Is that where this hunger desire comes from to dominate

44
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: even after you get win after win.

45
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's I mean, of course, you need

46
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 4: you you really want it from a young age. But

47
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: I think also the way I grew up, you know,

48
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: having the experience of my dad by my Yeah, for sure,

49
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 4: from a very young age. I think you you know,

50
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: get prepared in a in a different way, I guess.

51
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 4: And yeah, for me, it's never good enough, you know,

52
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: even you try to, you know, look for the little

53
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 4: details that can go better. I mean, for sure, this

54
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 4: year so far I think has been amazing, but yeah,

55
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 4: I will never be satisfied at the end.

56
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: Of the day.

57
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 3: Max, Tom and I were talking about Marco van Bastard

58
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 3: retiring from football at twenty eight and I always hear

59
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 3: people talk about you. They say things like he's going

60
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 3: to get bored, He's going to get bored by this,

61
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: or potentially step away to the records that Shue Mack

62
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: has set and they worth sticking around for you, Max,

63
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 3: is that's something that drives you.

64
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 4: Like I never really targeted like records. I of course

65
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 4: really enjoy what I'm doing now and for me at

66
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 4: the moment is the opposite. This for me is not boring,

67
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 4: This is really exciting. Like I'm always very motivated to

68
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 4: get to the track. I think it's more when you're

69
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 4: not winning anymore. And there's also no real plan and

70
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 4: play or the future where you see yourself winning again,

71
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 4: then probably you get bored. But I think retiring at

72
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 4: twenty eight for me is probably a bit too soon.

73
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: Max John Faraoh is steeped in all that you do.

74
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: You grew up in England and lives Formula one. I'm

75
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: your ugly American. I'm new to this. I'm the one

76
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: you need a Las Vegas, you needed Austin, Miami wherever.

77
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 2: And in reading about this, and I go to the

78
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: great journalist Peter Windsor on this, he says, you do

79
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: corners and Kurt turns like nobody. He talks of silverstone

80
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: in the three turns of Maggots and Becketts. How do

81
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: you approach the tight turns of Formula one? Peter Windsor says,

82
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: that's the difference.

83
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 4: I think, you know, everyone has their own driving style.

84
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 4: But also I think what is key in our sport

85
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 4: is that you're able to adapt to whatever is needed.

86
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 4: So you know, every year we have a new car,

87
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 4: different looking car, and every single car drives a bit differently,

88
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 4: And I think, yeah, you always have to adapt and

89
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 4: learn and try to grow, try to be different, try

90
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: to really get the most out of the car, and

91
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 4: if the car has driven the fastest way in a

92
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: different way than what you're used to, you have to

93
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 4: try and adjust to that.

94
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: Do you wish for a smaller, lighter car.

95
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: Of course that would be ideal, but you also have

96
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 4: to be realistic. I think with the safety standards that

97
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 4: are always improving every single year, that is not always

98
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 4: possible to go lighter. But I'm sure you know we

99
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 4: are looking into the future regulations as well to try

100
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 4: and make it better.

101
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: Mactual blusses. Thinking about the commercial stuff, we caught up

102
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 3: with Christian Horner. It's great to talk to Christian a

103
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: month or so ago, and we were talking about the

104
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: race Canada and how many races are now in new

105
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 3: places like in the United States, like in Vegas. For

106
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: a man like yourself, can you compare, say, a Monza

107
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: to a Miami a Las Vegas and actually get excited

108
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: about it when for some people the purists might complain

109
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: about this just be at a commercial event moving away

110
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: from the traditional race card racing and places like Monsa

111
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: in Silverstein.

112
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 4: Well, the beautiful thing is is that we have a

113
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 4: lot of different grand pries still and I think it

114
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 4: would be very boring if they are all the same, right,

115
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: And yes, I am very aware that you know, we

116
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 4: shouldn't go to all the I's said, the commercial places,

117
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 4: but I think also Las Vegas gives you a unique

118
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 4: opportunity and then time will tell you know if it's

119
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 4: the right way to go or not. But for sure,

120
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 4: from my side, you know, I like the pure race trecks.

121
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 4: I think n F one car as well. It really

122
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: comes alive on the proper race trecks like Monza, like Spy,

123
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 4: like Silverstone. So for sure, you know we need to

124
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 4: keep these kind of tracks on the calendar.

125
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: Max.

126
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 3: They're always trying to rework the format when a car

127
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: a team goes through a period of dominance. I remember

128
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 3: when it just used to be qualifying thirty minutes, fastest driver,

129
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 3: fastest car. They get polled and they try to make

130
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: qualifying more interesting. Do you think tweaking the format with

131
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 3: sprint racing in one weekend not the other? Is that

132
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 3: something that frustrates she was a driver.

133
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not really excited by these things because I

134
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: think when something works really well, why do you need

135
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 4: to try and tweak it? And yeah, this is I

136
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: think a constant discussion and for sure that some things

137
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 4: god well some don't. But yeah, for me, trying to

138
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 4: keep it like it is, you know, probably is the

139
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 4: best thing forward because I always thought the quali find

140
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 4: format and you know, before you get into the single race,

141
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 4: I think is very exciting.

142
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: Max. I agree with you. I'm a complete hack at this,

143
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: but I totally agree with you. The sprint thing is ridiculous.

144
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: I just don't understand it. I love the qualification thing

145
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: the day before. I love to tune into that, Max,

146
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 2: for step and are you in a place is completely

147
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 2: dominant in the sports, involving all the money and the egos.

148
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: Where can you control the future of who your teammate is?

149
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: I understand there's autosport gossip in all that, but are

150
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 2: you in a position now, Max where you can dictate,

151
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: discuss or say who a future teammate will be?

152
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 4: Well, this is always up to the bosses and the team.

153
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 4: I mean, of course, I'm a team member now for

154
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 4: a long time, and of course things you know, you

155
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 4: talk about stuff, but I'm not the one who is

156
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 4: telling them what to do or deciding things. At the

157
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 4: end of the day, I need to focus on my job,

158
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 4: and that's try and drive as quick as I can

159
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 4: every single weekend.

160
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: We do a good job at that, Max, a good

161
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: job of that and particularly this season, Max, how close

162
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: are you with check Out?

163
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

164
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 4: We are very close. Honestly, I think we are very

165
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: similar in a way. Also how we're approach acting our

166
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 4: life outside of Formula one. And you know, he's a

167
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 4: real family person. Of course he has his kids as well,

168
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 4: and yeah, I'm pretty similar. I think it's good to

169
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: try and you know, sometimes switch off and just you know,

170
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 4: not think about Formula one. And I think that's where

171
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 4: we can really relate.

172
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: You know, what people are like, they like to stir

173
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: up gossip and tell stories. And Max, you've been reluctant

174
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 3: to get involved in the Netflix series, which has been

175
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: massive here stayside. Max, what's behind that reluctance? Why don't

176
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: you like doing those things so much?

177
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 4: I mean I think at one point, you know, certain

178
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 4: things are also a bit more private. Privacy for me

179
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 4: is very important, and you know, I like things to

180
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 4: be portrayed like they actually are, not with a lot

181
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: of let's say spice to it. But you know, every

182
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 4: year now, I mean we had a good chat every year.

183
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: I do.

184
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 4: I do have an interview and I explain my side

185
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 4: of the story, and I think that's important. I know

186
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 4: how Netflix is in a way, of course to try

187
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: and attract new fans, but of course, yeah, it's important

188
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 4: also to to really see the reality of the sport.

189
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: John, I'll let you ask. I mean, we're in London,

190
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: we come back, and that gives us just enough time

191
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: to go to Las Vegas. I want to go to

192
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 2: the number, but you know, if Max can pull some

193
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 2: strings for us, I think possibly we could be all

194
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 2: Las Vegas with Red Bull.

195
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: You want to ask him yourself, I'd let you ask please.

196
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: Max would prefers to ask Christian Horner and we'll ask

197
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: Christian a little bit later. Max, I wanted to squeeze

198
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 3: this in. I wanted your side of the story. I

199
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 3: don't want to talk about the last race. I want

200
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 3: to go back to Austria. Final lap of the Grand Prix.

201
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: You have the opportunity to set the fastest lap. You

202
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: make the call to make a pit to put on

203
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: fresh tires and go around to set the fastest lab

204
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: for a single point. Max, from your perspective, walk me

205
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 3: through the thinking. There is that something you've planned ahead

206
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 3: of the race is that something you think about in

207
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: the moment, and where does that confidence, that conviction come

208
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: from to go against the team who would like you

209
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: to stay out and just make the call yourself.

210
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: I can do it. I know I can do it.

211
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 3: I've got the control, the ability to perform. Where does

212
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 3: that come from?

213
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: Max?

214
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I always tried to maximize everything I can,

215
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 4: and you know, I saw the opportunity for the extra points,

216
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 4: I was like, well why not. Of course, there's always

217
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: a bit of a risk with these kind of things,

218
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 4: but at the other hand, no risk, no fun, right,

219
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 4: So that's what was also going through my head at

220
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: the time.

221
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: Max, Good luck for race weekend during the team fantastically

222
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,839
