Formula 1: Drive to Survive (2019) s05e10 Episode Script

1
- Morning.
- Morning.
Can you say,
"Hi, George, from George," please?
- Hi, George, from George.
- Thank you.
- That what you wanted?
- Yeah.
- Hi, George.
- Hello.
Abu Dhabi.
Mm-hmm.
Gonna be interesting, isn't it?
Yeah, sure will be.
I've got four single beds in my room.
- What?
- Trying to say something?
I'm not even sure
it's a family room, to be honest.
We've reached the finale for 2022.
The final race of the season
here at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
All right, last time
we're gonna see this face in a while.
It's literally the worst photo ever.
Have you seen mine?
Yeah, I know.
We've both got the worst ones.
Be prepared to be absolutely riveted.
Can we do it without the cap?
I've been wearing a hat all day.
- No.
- Give it a bit of that.
Mate.
I mean, I'm gonna look like
fuckin' Big Foot's dick.
'Sup, boys?
What's up?
Is it difficult
to get an espresso here or not?
I don't want to be too pretentious.
Not at all.
You can't deny an Italian man an espresso.
Do you count yourself as Italian?
Guenther,
you're the most famous person ever
in the history of the world.
He's the most popular as well.
All these women want to have sex with him.
Yeah, I wish, yeah.
Couple of the highs in
the season, can you think what they are?
I'll make it up. I don't know.
Fucking hell, yeah.
Morning.
Will we see you on the grid next year?
I 100% will be there next year.
But if they're ever doing a Top Gun again,
there's no way I'm turning that down.
I'm gonna have to have someone replace me
in the car if I have to.
You two, you're breaking up,
and it's been one
of the best bromances on the grid.
I'm not leaving. He's leaving, so
Yeah, it's him.
Gotta do what you gotta do, huh?
I am sorry, Yuki.
Aw!
It's gonna be emotional tomorrow.
Last race with Alpine.
I will miss being with them,
but hopefully we can have a
- Lies.
- competition.
He said he was happy to go.
- If I'm
- I'm happy to go.
But hopefully next year,
we go to a more competitive car.
You hungry?
Yes, please.
- Scrambled egg on sourdough.
- Sure.
Yoghurt, some berries.
I'm feeling hungry.
That's fine.
And, uh, one croissant.
- No chocolate. I don't like chocolate.
- Then we don't have.
- We have just chocolate.
- Fuck.
How am I meant to perform now?
- I'll pull out the chocolate.
- You take the chocolate out the croissant?
I'll heat it up.
Thanks.
Jeez, Lando.
Give the people what they want, right?
Nipple.
Well,
that'll be the intro, won't it?
- Hi, Manu.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Good. You?
Very good, pumped up.
Pumped up?
Always.
How's it been this year?
No!
For the 3rd time this season,
Charles Leclerc, when leading a race,
won't go on to finish it.
There's been a lot of criticism
around the team.
We've done too many mistakes
at one point of the season.
One second ahead of Alonso.
Box now to attempt for fastest lap.
I would not risk it,
but if you really want to try it
So box now, box.
In comes Charles Leclerc
to put on a set of soft tires
to go for the fastest lap of the race.
- Got Leclerc on pit exit.
- Okay.
They've gone
for the fastest-lap gamble here.
But Fernando Alonso
is going to try and get past Leclerc now.
And now Leclerc
fails to take the fastest lap
as well as losing a position.
Ferrari always does
some strange strategies, so
That was one of those.
If you review this season,
I think there's too many things
that we need to improve as a team.
No engine! Engine!
No! No! No! No!
The engine's gone for Carlos Sainz.
He was doing absolutely everything
he needed to do and then bang.
Oh, Ferrari.
Good morning!
Ferrari have had
their best chance in a decade.
They've had a car
that was the one to beat.
And now they're fighting
to hang onto second in the Championship.
Ultimately, responsibility always rests
on the shoulders of the team principal.
What have you made of
the speculation surrounding your future?
How does it make you feel?
There is no foundation with that rumor,
so I'm pretty relaxed, I'm pretty relaxed
because I know how united is the team.
To bring back Ferrari here
has been incredible.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Yes, there are rumors,
and they are annoying.
And especially for me personally
because this is a special team,
a wonderful team,
that, through difficulties,
sometimes even through the storm,
has always stayed united.
Let's go.
Do you think Ferrari this year,
that their race management
has cost them wins?
Clearly, but I'm very careful
with pointing fingers in any organization
because I know how difficult it is
to take the right decisions.
We had such a difficult year.
We're coming closer to Ferrari.
Please make some noise
and welcome Charles Leclerc
and Carlos Sainz!
The biggest priority for us
is to finish P2
and outperform them in the Championship.
Make some noise
for George Russell and Lewis Hamilton!
Morning, guys.
Uh,
last weekend in Brazil, wow.
Unbelievable weekend.
I don't think there was a time
where we thought we'd have been able
to achieve a one-two on pure merit.
Russell leads
the Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton second.
Push now.
Let's go.
We can do this.
There is no argument about
who has been the star of this weekend.
George Russell,
you are a Formula 1 race winner.
Come on, team!
One-two. Unbelievable.
This is an amazing result
for everybody. Congratulations to George.
It's a 1-2 for Mercedes
who've had such a lean season.
Finally they get that victory.
So we go again this weekend
and, um, try and repeat it, hey?
P2, obviously,
in the Constructors' is up for grabs.
Fight with Ferrari.
We're going for it.
Definitely going for it.
- Definitely.
- Yeah.
We need your support
to go out and have a great weekend.
Thank you very much.
This fight for second, it will mean a lot.
If we do achieve that,
given our circumstance,
that would be a huge result.
I have a
I have a good photo of you.
Do you?
Taking a photo of, uh, Seb.
Boyfriends of Instagram!
We got it, mate. We got it.
We got the money.
Thank you very much.
Let me see.
Oh, that's cool.
Muy bien.
- Aw!
- I will make the cut?
Muy importante.
Si.
'm good.
It's been a long old season.
It was good timing.
I'm looking forward
to the time off now though, it's, uh
It's the travel that's been so
I know. You must be
Knackered, yeah.
They told me I could do whatever I want.
When I see Carlos, put him in the wall.
Rip his head out.
You good?
Dinner?
Table of 26?
Boom.
How are you, mate?
Did you party yesterday?
Yeah.
- No drinking though.
- Ah, okay.
For one last time in '22,
it's the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Have a good one, mate.
Have a good final one with us.
Thanks.
I'll go and get ready.
And there's still plenty
to play for up and down the pit lane.
We've been fourth most of the year.
Unfortunately, not fourth when it counts,
but, uh, let's see what we can do today.
Be a tall order to grab it back,
but we're gonna give it all we've got.
- All right.
- You gotta win it.
I know.
I'm gonna be boring.
- Just win it.
- Really boring.
If you win it, we'll win it.
True.
We have two very competent drivers.
Very much all to fight for.
My job now is
to make sure we finish fourth,
ahead of McLaren and Zak.
- All under control?
- Yep.
All right, see you after the race.
Yeah, we're in a big battle at the moment.
It's gonna be a tall order.
It'll take a close to a miracle.
Miracles can happen in this sport.
For McLaren to steal
fourth in the Championship,
they need their cars
finishing in the top five
and for both Alpines
to finish ninth or below.
At the moment, you know,
P2 is a gold one, but
You need a few stars to align.
Yeah.
In the battle for second,
Mercedes are lining up in fifth and sixth,
but will need both their cars
to finish in front of the Ferraris,
who start ahead in third and fourth.
Every season, we had an upward trajectory.
This season, for big amount of time,
it was emotionally and mentally very hard.
But this is going better now.
We are recovering,
and second place would be big for morale.
We are facing
a Mercedes that is growing.
It's almost worrying
because this second place
in the Constructors' Championship,
for us, is important.
And we know the value of this car.
What it proved to be
at the beginning of the season,
what it proved subsequently.
That a third place would not even be fair.
But we feel sure
that we deserve a second place.
It's the entire season's commitment.
Ninety seconds.
All right. Let's go for it.
Okay, mate, let's finish the job
in the best possible way.
Yeah, thank you guys.
Gonna be amazing.
It's been a long one,
a tough one,
but let's give a final push
and see what we are here for.
Too right.
And, Daniel, radio check.
Yep, radio's good.
Good luck.
This could be
my last ever race in Formula 1,
but my job as a driver is still the same.
Contribute more to McLaren's tally,
to get fourth in the Constructors'.
Thirty seconds.
Okay, you can fire up the engine.
I think we deserve to finish P2
in the Constructors' Championship.
But we're fighting Mercedes,
one of the best teams in history.
They've caught up quite a bit.
Now we need to make sure
that we win that battle.
Fifteen seconds.
Ferrari, they've made
so many mistakes this year.
But still, we've really
had to hunt them down.
I'm gonna give it everything
to get those points.
Butterflies.
Focus on the lights.
Good start for Hamilton.
He's got past Carlos Sainz.
Very good.
Okay, Lewis, P4.
You've got Leclerc ahead.
We are P5.
Car in front, Hamilton.
Sainz is all over the back of Hamilton.
Sainz squeezes Hamilton
who goes over the rumble strip.
He went off the track at that chicane,
but Hamilton keeps the place.
I got pushed wide, mate.
Fuck me.
P4.
That was class.
Hamilton 0.4 behind.
Can Hamilton get past Sainz again?
Hamilton's through.
So quick on the straight, mate.
So, George, Norris ahead.
Sainz 0.9 ahead.
The Ferraris are slow.
We can beat them.
Russell is really on a charge.
The fight to finish second
in the Constructors' Championship
is starting to heat up.
Okay, Lando, we're currently P7.
Confirm.
Pace is good.
We're managing a good position.
Ocon and Alonso behind you.
Confirm.
Daniel is behind?
Yes.
Norris is in seventh and Ricciardo 16th.
The McLarens are still
just about in that title fight for fourth
with their bitter rivals Alpine.
Daniel, Alonso out ahead.
Okay.
Let's go and get him.
How's my pace?
We need to push.
Understood.
So car behind is Tsunoda.
Okay.
Yuki, fighting Alonso.
You can push.
Let me focus.
We are so slow.
Jesus Christ, man.
Another problem.
We're looking into that, mate.
And what's going on here?
Fernando Alonso is slowing right down.
Okay, mate.
Box?
We have to retire the car.
Sorry, mate.
That's not the way we want to end this.
That's a blow for Alpine,
but, as it stands, they're still
in a position to finish ahead of McLaren.
Daniel, Alonso had to retire.
The race is on.
Pace is good.
Ocon is the car behind.
Understood.
This could decide it though.
Daniel Ricciardo now comes
under pressure from Esteban Ocon,
going into the chicane.
Ricciardo 1.3 in front.
Let's push.
Ocon 0.8 behind.
We need to stay ahead.
Okay, Ocon 1.1
Nice, Daniel.
Keep the pace up.
Let's keep that gap down.
Push. Max push.
I am. I am.
This is it.
Has Ocon got enough to get past?
Okay, mate, nice job.
Ocon's through. He's done it.
Alpine firmly on target now
for fourth in the Championship.
So Leclerc, P2
How far away is he?
It will be very close at the end.
Ten laps to go.
With Hamilton behind.
Stop talking to me.
I know what to do now.
Leave me alone, please.
Into the closing stages now,
and Mercedes still need to get both cars
in front of the Ferraris
to have any chance
of finishing second in the standings.
So, George, still Sainz ahead.
You are quicker than him.
Just push and catch.
Man, it's the last race
of the season. I'm not hanging around.
I'm pushing as hard as I can.
Yeah,
this traffic's losing time, mate.
Hamilton will try
and get past the Alfa Romeo and the Haas.
They're gonna have to make way
'cause they've been lapped.
I've lost shifts.
Shifts aren't working properly.
And now Hamilton's
being caught by the Ferrari of Sainz.
Hamilton might have a problem in front.
I'm losing
Shit.
Okay, we'll have to retire the car.
Sorry about that, mate.
All clear in front.
Good job.
Mercedes' chance of beating Ferrari
in the Constructors' Championship is over.
This will mean Ferrari get
that runners-up spot
in the Constructors' Championship.
And last lap.
Hamilton has retired.
Yeah, copy that.
And P2.
Yes, baby.
We got it.
Good job, guys.
Really good race.
Well done, Charles.
Amazing race. Amazing session.
And we're going to have
a strong start next year.
Well done. That's P6.
You also got fastest lap.
I got fastest lap?
Yeah, boy.
P7.
Good season, guys.
We've done it.
All targets done.
P9.
All right.
It's nice to finish in the points.
Alpine hold off McLaren for fourth.
We did it.
Yeah!
Well done, guys.
Good fight.
Good fight. Well deserved, guys.
- Well done.
- Down to the wire.
You did really well.
You can do burnouts.
Copy.
Thank you.
Oh fuck.
Where is P2?
Here it is.
That is a return to form for Ferrari.
Second place for the team
is super important.
Everybody is so motivated
to actually do the next step forward.
Because we want
to put Ferrari back on top.
Test aside,
we thought the season was over.
I believe that it was
satisfyingly good for everyone.
Claudio. You shat yourself today.
Answer to the criticisms.
The second place is well deserved
compared to Mercedes.
We were going faster.
They had a reliability problem.
It's the conclusion of a season.
The real value of how you end a season.
It gives me optimism for the future.
- Nobody got run over.
- Yeah.
- That's a high of the season.
- Yes.
And it's not on fire!
This car, we will be putting in the lobby,
right in front of our eyes,
every single day, as a reminder.
Finishing third
in the Constructors' Championship
is not good enough.
With a painful result,
we need to shift mindset.
This is not where we want to be
in the Championship.
Maybe this lesson of, um, humility
is important for the long term,
and it will make our team stronger
over the next few years.
Not bad for a first one.
- Not bad, not bad, not bad.
- Well done.
He he!
- We couldn't have done better.
- We've delivered.
Feeling great.
Fourth just means
we have to now look, uh, even higher,
and it feels great
to do our talking on track.
I'm happy with that. You know why?
You know what that pass from Vettel
would've meant on the end?
Oh yeah.
Aston going to sixth in the Championship.
Fifth is below expectations,
so, for sure, we're disappointed.
Otmar might get the last laugh
this time around.
Pierre Gasly!
- Thank you.
- Will you sign my helmet?
Please, Daniel!
Are you gonna miss each other?
- It's been pretty emotional, actually.
- It has.
The love has grown.
- It's blossomed into something.
- We'll still see each other.
Yeah. There we go.
There it is.
This might be the last time
you're in this chair.
- Yeah.
- Thought about that?
I mean, the show wouldn't be the same
without me, so what do you do?
What you going to miss most?
I'm Daniel Ricciardo,
and I'm a car mechanic.
Netflix are a real bunch of cunts,
aren't they?
Do you want it
to be called Daniel to Survive?
We'll get back to you on it.
Just forget
the camel toe here. Ah!
Oh my God!
What's the time?
We can start drinking now.
Get it, girl.
That's how it's done, ladies.
Woo-hoo!
I just have amazing natural abilities.
I'm the epitome of human high performance.
It's ringing.
Hi, Chris, how you going?
This is Daniel Ricciardo, Chris!
- You look good when you're doing it too.
- Yeah?
Hmm.
Testing, three, four, nutsack, five, six.
This is Daniel.
It's not Who would That's childish.
I just wanna tickle my scrotum
And touch my nutsack ♪
I'm proud the way that I've left.
Hülkenberg!
I carried myself well through this time.
I did okay,
so that's cool.
Hülkenberg.
Nico Hülkenberg.
Asshole.
- How does that one pass?
- Looks like he's taking a shit.
Ricciardo wins
the Italian Grand Prix for McLaren!
That win, which I've got tattooed here,
uh, I'll never forget.
I won my first race with Daniel Ricciardo,
and I'll be forever grateful.
How we doing?
- It's all your fault.
- What a G.
I got asked when I was younger,
"What do you wanna achieve?
How do you want people to remember you?"
"The driver that left it all out there."
I felt like I certainly lived up to that.
That makes me proud.
For anyone who thought I left,
I never left.
Racing is the same as gambling.
You have more bad days than good days.
Good days, yeah.
That's the finish line.
Wild.
We'll be driving
well over 200 miles an hour
down the strip.
It's just gonna be absolutely crazy.
Well, we say, "What happens in Vegas
stays in Vegas."
Is F1 a hard sport to walk away from?
Um, I don't know yet.
Grazie mille. We did it.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
It must be quite flattering
to be linked to
Claudia Schiffer?
Do you think you'd look good in red?
Yeah.
Oh, how I've missed this black room.
- Good to have you back.
- Thank you.
- Why do you think Guenther wanted you?
- Probably my looks.
You've got a new teammate.
Yes. Nico is joining the team,
and he can suck my balls.
Suck my balls, honey.
He just said to me something, yeah.
My name's Oscar Piastri.
My name is Logan Sargeant.
Hendrik Johannes Nicasius de Vries.
Nice to meet you.
That's a great name.
Are you excited
for next season?
I am excited.
I think there are more chances
that Aston Martin wins a championship.
I need a car that goes quicker
round the corners.
- Ever get bored winning?
- No, that's the good thing.
I'd get bored of not winning.
Next year? It's game on.
It has been a a roller coaster of a year.
Kevin Magnussen will be
on pole position here at Interlagos.
You're fucking kidding me?
It would be great to get a podium in 2023.
We're trying to think
of something different.
We've done wine tasting with Mattia.
I think we're gonna do
We have been drunk, been on the water,
been on the mountain.
I think you're gonna
have to do a parachute with Toto.
Exactly.
He shits himself, you know? Come on, Toto!
Missed your rivalry with Toto?
No.
