00:00Hello everybody, bonjourno and welcome to the Race Notebook from the 2025, possibly the last one, Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix of Made in Italy and of Emilia-Romagna here in Italy in Imola.
00:13Now we just have all the journalists coming out of the Christian Horner press conference. Was it good, Christian? Was it good, the Christian Horner press conference? Was he like the cat that got the cream, as we say?
00:26I have to disappoint you. I missed the first part, the biggest part, because I attended Fred Basur's press conference. I'm sorry, I'm the wrong person to ask.
00:33What were you just doing in there?
00:35I just listened to the last five minutes, which was about Yuki Tsunoda.
00:39Oh, okay.
00:40Interesting. Good. Thank you very much. No worries. Christian men out there. I wonder if Ben Hunt knows whether Christian Horner was like the cat who got the cream.
00:49I'm reminded in Italy, Ben, of whoever it was in the Roman Legion who said, Veni, Vini, Vinci. They came, they saw, they conquered. They did at Red Bull today.
00:59Yeah, very good. Very impressive. 400.
01:01Who was it? Who's it?
01:02Oh, I'm not too sure, Ted.
01:03Caligula?
01:04You tell me.
01:05I don't know.
01:06Anyway, McLaren came sore and failed, but climbing on pole position. What did CH, as they call him, have to say?
01:14Well, I think he was saying about how it sort of motivated the team. I think that they had a tough start to the year. Brought some bits to the car. Very happy. Very pleased. Gives everyone a little bit of motivation coming into European season. So, very happy in there.
01:27Good. Thank you very much. Hope we didn't ruin your written story by basically blatting it all over the telly on a Sunday afternoon.
01:35Another word, maestro, I would use for Max Verstappen, because today's race was well and truly won at the first corner. And, you know, what a move.
01:47I mean, we've been saying all day, OK, two crucial moments of the weekend for me. When it was clear on Saturday morning, after FP3, going into qualifying, that Red Bull had made a step forward.
02:04And I went and asked the Red Bull Press guys, and I said, who's done it? Was it the guys in the simulator, Rudy Van Buren or whoever it was, wasn't Sebastian Buemi, because I think he's doing Formula E in Japan.
02:18Who was it who turned this car around? And they said, it's the engineers here at the track, and it's Max who turned this car around.
02:26And when Max said, after the race, very pointedly, when they said, Grande Max, he said, yes, it was a very strong Saturday and Sunday.
02:36He wasn't kidding, was he? Didn't care to mention Friday when they were all over the shop.
02:40So, credit to them for turning it around on Friday night and coming here with a car that was a McLaren Beta.
02:49And, you know, we talk about whether they should have let Oscar Orlando attack or whatever, whatever, whatever.
02:54You know, I'm sorry, the Red Bull was just quicker. It was quicker today.
02:58Five seconds he pulled out, Max, after the safety car, while they were sort of sorting themselves out.
03:04Here he is, the cat that got the cream on their 400th race.
03:08And, yeah, I think they were sort of just quicker.
03:13He's going off for some engagement somewhere, signing a hat.
03:18And it's all about, so that's the first key moment, is pre-qualifying.
03:23Do you remember, Lee, we did a bit, seems like a long time ago now, Saturday morning, we did a bit pre-qualifying, didn't we?
03:30Where I stood outside the Red Bull garage and said they'd made a step.
03:33Did I? I think I did.
03:35Anyway, so that was the step they made.
03:37And secondly, of course, the full send around the first corner.
03:42And let's do Red Bull first.
03:44Max Verstappen won, Yuki Sinoda 10th.
03:46Impressive Max, Grande Max, the maestro.
03:48It was full send around the side of Oscar Piastri to take the lead.
03:54And the weird thing was, is that Oscar thought he had T1, turn one done, after a good start.
03:59And actually, as George got alongside Max, he might have thought, whoa, hello, you know, might have something.
04:05Max might have something, a Mercedes to worry about here.
04:07But then when they braked, turn in, and then Max just seemed to get on the gas.
04:11He gassed it, as they say, and absolutely blatted it past on that long apex, the left-hander, and then overtook Oscar.
04:22It was all done by the second part of the Tamburello chicane.
04:25And then he never looked back.
04:27Yes, he was lucky with both safety cars, I guess.
04:29But, you know, I think it was already whatever was happening.
04:32The car was quick enough today, the Red Bull, and Max was virtuoso, maestro, whatever you want to call it.
04:37Enough today that he was probably never challenged after that lap one.
04:43Now, Jacques Villeneuve says that Oscar was sleeping, that Piastri was completely sleeping, was caught sleeping, and that he let Max past.
04:53The views of Jacques Villeneuve.
04:55But, you know, I'm sure you'll have your own views there.
04:58Is it worth us sort of separating it to Oscar?
05:00I think Oscar would probably say, look, you know, Max maybe isn't my championship challenge.
05:06And I've got to think about my championship.
05:08Hey, even Verstappen said that after the race.
05:10Max has got, Oscar's got a championship to think about, probably against Landon Norris.
05:15Well, you know what?
05:15It might not turn out like that if Verstappen keeps putting in these wins, despite the fact that they are pretty well below in the points.
05:24But that is what's going on at Red Bull.
05:26Anything else to say about that?
05:28Full send around the Oscar to P1.
05:29Stayed on the gas in the middle of the corner.
05:31Stayed out as his medium tyres improved.
05:35They pitted on the first virtual safety car, which made their race part one.
05:38And then again on the second safety car, which made their race pull part two and pulled five seconds on the McLarens.
05:46Never looked under threat.
05:48And, yeah, they absolutely nailed it today on their 400th race.
05:53Yuki, in a rebuilt chassis, was told to hold up Oscar Piastri, but failed at the first attempt, really, at that.
05:59It was a hard starter.
06:00So, well done to the Red Bull mechanics for rebuilding that car.
06:03But they must have been pretty disappointed on the Red Bull pit wall when they said on the nose.
06:07So, with no kind of beating about the bush, beating about the bento box, don't, you know, hold up Yuki.
06:19Hold up Oscar for as...
06:22It wasn't Oscar, was it?
06:23It was hold up...
06:24It was Oscar.
06:26Hold up Oscar as much as possible, but then he really didn't have the pace to do that and failed at the first attempt to do that.
06:33Trailed home Hadjar by 2.8 seconds.
06:36So, the other star of Red Bull today, Red Bull Motorsport, is Isaac Hadjar because he was ahead of Yuki Tsunoda.
06:43But then you'd expect that because Yuki started from the pit lane in the rebuilt car after the accident in qualifying.
06:49Right, let's do McLaren.
06:51And they came, they saw, they got beaten.
06:53And it was Oscar Piastri, despite starting on pole, was he asleep, wasn't he?
06:57I don't know.
06:58Maybe you have your own views about that.
07:00Jacques Villeneuve thinks he was asleep and let him in too much.
07:03But end up third in the final analysis did Oscar Piastri.
07:08Landon are second.
07:09And Oscar thought he had turn one done after a good start.
07:12But then Max Verstappen came with the full send.
07:15And he didn't flinch.
07:16He didn't, he let him go.
07:19I think Oscar let him go thinking of the long game.
07:22But unlike Miami, where it was okay to let Max go because you were going to get him on race pace, they didn't have the race pace because the Red Bull was quick around here.
07:30Red Bull was Japan level quick, which is not a coincidence, given that I think they, oh, hello.
07:36Which is not a coincidence, given that they basically ran the Japan rear wing.
07:41Lee, behind you, some two people from McLaren want to get into their motorhome.
07:44Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
07:46Anyway, it's not a surprise, given that, you know, it was the same, basically the same rear wing of the Red Bull that they ran in Suzuka with a really shallow downforce angle.
07:56So they just did a Japan again.
07:59So, you know, that's what happened.
08:01And then towards the end of the McLaren race, they had a Japan situation again, whereby the guy with the quicker tyres was third than the person in second.
08:13But in this case, they didn't swap them around immediately.
08:17Arguably, had they swapped around immediately and let that guy, Lando Norris, then have a quick go at Max Verstappen, it might have had a better chance.
08:23He might have had more laps to do it, rather than the two laps he took to go past Oscar Piastri, but then he never really made an impact on there.
08:31So the car was probably not fast enough to do whenever they would have let him past Oscar Piastri to do it.
08:36But an important good weekend, as Oscar Piastri was who took the, was the curse of the early pit stoppers.
08:45You don't have to say on me, Lee, go and find some trucks or something.
08:47It was the curse of the early pit stoppers that affected George Russell today, also affected Oscar Piastri, put him into traffic, made his tyres go even worse, had to overtake loads of people, and it meant that his race was sort of went south from there.
09:03Really laboured behind all of that, got traffic paradise.
09:06It all completely unravelled for Oscar Piastri, which brings to an end his sort of stellar run of results, and puts Lando Norris a place ahead of him, and clawing some points back in the championship.
09:19But who knows what will happen in Monaco and Spain.
09:23You ain't seen, it won't be the end of Oscar's championship charge, you can be absolutely sure about that.
09:30But Lando got here, very unlucky, with the virtual safety car, one lap, he wasn't to know that Esteban Ocon was going to conk out, or even it was, yes it was the Esteban Ocon one, on lap 29, pitted one lap before the virtual safety car, and yeah, that put them on the back foot.
09:48So, listen, they are happy here at McLaren, with a second and a third, a double podium, I know what they mean, but unlike Japan, I don't think they really, after turn one, lap one, had a chance of beating Max Verstappen.
10:02Maybe it would have been different today, whether, you know, had Oscar retained the lead, and not, as Jacques Villeneuve says, been caught sleeping, but I don't know, we'll see.
10:14But maybe Oscar now, I think going forward, will rethink that tactic of, you know what, I think we can let Max go here, because we'll have them on race pace.
10:23Because on the balance of today, the evidence of today, McLaren can't say that anymore, when Red Bull get it absolutely right.
10:29Right, let's move on to Ferrari, and grande them, because if only they can stop having these nightmares in qualifying, and actually get into qualifying three, and show what they can do, then they are alive in the race.
10:42And like they were in Jeddah, they were alive in the race today, and Lewis Hamilton finished 1.4 seconds off a podium.
10:50Very close, Lewis Hamilton fourth, credited the team, said well done to absolutely everybody.
10:54Charles Leclerc sixth, and a bit annoyed, but I'll tell you about why in a second.
10:57Leclerc gained two places up to P9 early, was one of the early pitters off the medium tyres, with George Russell and Oscar Piastri.
11:09So it was the wrong thing it turned out to do.
11:13But in any case, you know, he came back, and then couldn't pit again, under the final safety car, because they'd run out of tyres.
11:20I know.
11:22He said, Charles said, well look, you could put me onto the used soft.
11:25And they said, well it's going to have too many, too many laps.
11:29But in the end, Charles was absolutely right.
11:31They could have done, because it was only ten laps, and that soft would have probably lasted, until the end, after the final safety car for Antonelli.
11:37But in the end, it was Charles Leclerc who was particularly frustrated, because he was quite strong, let's say, in his battling with Albon.
11:46But in no way that we've seen particularly, you know, egregiously punished before.
11:52But Ferrari thought that caution was the better part, and told him to give the place back to Albon, so that he wouldn't get penalised.
12:00Because had Leclerc got penalised for, as Williams would have seen it, putting Albon into the gravel, then they would have lost many more places and points than they did by just giving the position back to Alex Albon.
12:12But in the end, he went down to sixth, where of course Alex Albon today was fifth.
12:18So that's why he is annoyed, is Charles Leclerc.
12:21But Lewis, absolutely delighted, started on the hard tyres, stayed P12, big winner from the virtual safety car with a cheap pit stop, time-wise.
12:28Overtook Antonelli, overtook Hadjar, pitted under the second safety car as well.
12:33Got past Russell, and finished just a second off a podium, closer, maybe a few laps he might have been able to get Oscar Piastri for third.
12:42And yeah, good strategy, and very good for Hamilton, and some of the break issues of earlier in the weekend cured.
12:52But what I thought was interesting, I don't know if you watched the Lewis interview in our pre-show, and if you didn't, then do.
12:57Not only to watch a bizarre grid walk, where I think the Brazilian striker Ronaldo mistook me for Martin Brundle.
13:06Because he said, nice to see you again, yes, I remember you.
13:09I said, I'm pretty sure you're mistaking me for Martin Brundle.
13:11So, anyway, but if you watch it, you'll see, as the boss, ciao Stefano, ciao, see you later, yeah, see you in Monaco.
13:19Do I ask him about whether this is the last Imola?
13:21I've chickened out, ladies and gentlemen.
13:23I've just chickened out of asking him if it's the last Monaco.
13:26There you go, you saw it live on television.
13:29Yeah, there's no, you know, I just could have done, but I decided now is not the time.
13:34Right, I was telling you about Lewis Hamilton.
13:37He had doubts about 2026.
13:40He's not sure whether these 2026 rules is going to produce good racing or good cars.
13:45So, you know, saying the quiet stuff out loud there, Lewis, was particularly interesting in that interview that we showed on his 2026 doubts.
13:53Right, Mercedes, you've just gone past their motorhome, so let's do that.
13:57George Russell, the other way, Lee, George Russell was the early bailer out to change his tyres, which was the wrong thing, and really his race was cursed after that because it wasn't the right thing.
14:08Fell down the order.
14:09Had he stayed out on the medium tyres, they might have been better, but who knows, they might not have.
14:14End up P7, got passed by everybody, and really that was it.
14:18The curse of the early strategy, not great, felt something was wrong on the handling of the back of his car early on.
14:25Maybe they'll find out at Mercedes that it was once they get to Monaco, but yeah, not great.
14:30And here is family, Antonelli, Marco Antonelli with a white shirt, Kimi's mum there in the blue, and his sister in the little cap,
14:41and they are ruining a pretty disastrous race, unfortunately, his first home race.
14:45It was a DNF. He was a hard tyre starter, up to P11, pitted on the virtual safety car, but lost the throttle and stopped and did not finish the race.
14:56So, as you see, they're happy about it, but yeah, not particularly as well. It's not a great result.
15:03If you want to know more about the Kimi Antonelli story, there's a piece I did getting to know him,
15:09which we will show you at the Spanish Grand Prix, so stay tuned for that.
15:12And also, if you go on through your Skybox or however you get to your Netflix and then watch the seat,
15:19there's a piece done with a Mercedes sponsor who will become glaringly obvious by virtually the first tenth of a second of watching the documentary.
15:30But if you put that aside, it's a very good documentary where you see more of the family, Antonelli,
15:35and learn about how he got that seat with Mercedes and Toto and everything.
15:42Right, we're going to take a break. I've done 16 minutes or so.
15:46So, join us in The Notebook when I'll tell you how things took, from a promising grid start for Aston Martin,
15:53how unfortunately they've ended up with no points this weekend.
15:56And everybody else has more Notebook in a bit.

19:41Welcome back to the race notebook from the 2025.
19:44Maybe it's the last one.
19:44Maybe it isn't.
19:45Emilia Romagna from Imola.
19:46Now, everybody is very keen to get to Monaco because we're in the first, as we've been
19:50telling you all weekend, the first European triple header, Imola, Monaco and Spain.
19:54And at least it's kind of on the way.
19:57We're Imola here.
19:58Then we go to Monaco there.
20:00And then we keep going on the motorway down to Spain.
20:02But all these good gentlemen here in the high vizes have to demolish all of these and get
20:08them on the road, the motorway to Monaco because they need to be setting them up Tuesday, Tuesday
20:14morning.
20:15They're ignoring me.
20:17Tuesday, Monaco, Tuesday, Wednesday.
20:20Yep.
20:23Good.
20:24And that's land freight chat.
20:27So let's get out of their way as quickly as possible, shall we?
20:30Right.
20:30Aston Martin.
20:31I think maybe they were German.
20:36Mardy.
20:36Mardy.
20:37That's French.
20:37Donnerstag.
20:38Anyway.
20:39Right.
20:39So Aston Martin, Fernando Alonso 11th and Lance Stroll 15th.
20:43And when you start, I'm sorry, but when you start a Grand Prix, 5th and 8th on the grid,
20:48that's not what you expect to come back with or hope.
20:515th and 8th, Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll 8th.
20:54It's not what you expect to come home with.
20:56They wanted and deserved some points today, but they were just very unlucky.
21:01And that's on the radio afterwards.
21:05Fernando Alonso saying, I must be the most unlucky person in Formula One.
21:09Lance Stroll said, every bleeping week, we get unlucky with these things.
21:14They were unlucky with pit stops.
21:15They were unlucky with safety cars.
21:18They were unlucky with virtual safety cars.
21:20Alonso pitted early and then his brakes were on fire.
21:23Lance had a slow stop with a slow right rear.
21:27They were down in 14th and 15th.
21:29They were, I mean, Alonso finished 8 tenths of a second off a point, but it wasn't, and
21:34Stroll, just behind Lawson, well down.
21:37But they are, you've got to feel, if you know anybody or, you know, you've even got some
21:43sympathy for Aston Martin.
21:46They really deserve it today because they're desperately unlucky not to have it.
21:50And it's been a difficult week for Fernando Alonso because his longtime physiotherapist,
21:55Fabrizio Borra, passed away just before this weekend started.
22:00And Borra, you'll have recognized him.
22:02He was with Fernando through the Minardi years, through the Renault years, through the McLaren years.
22:07Borra was the man who Ron Dennis put his hand on his shoulder and brought him down to the
22:14Parc Ferme after the Hungary qualifying controversy with Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton and
22:20came, took Borra back to meet the two drivers at the Parc Ferme.
22:26So that was Fabrizio Borra and very sadly, Fernando's longtime physio who passed away earlier
22:31this week.
22:32Right, let's move to Gasly and Colopinto, their story for Alpine.
22:37Gasly finished 13th, Colopinto 16th.
22:39So they were neither fast, nor didn't crash, nor scored any points, which is Flavio's three
22:45commandments.
22:47Gasly scored, looked like he might run somewhere near the top 10, but lost places on lap four
22:53when he went wide in a battle with Charles Leclerc in the gravel.
22:57Gasly pitted off the dirty tyres on lap 10 and that really confined him to a poor result.
23:02As being one of the early pitters, Colopinto pitted on lap 23, which was good.
23:06First stop for his six, his first stop for six months.
23:09Colopinto lent Gasly past on lap 44.
23:11Gasly couldn't get Hülkenberg and Colopinto finished just behind Marne Stroll and probably
23:15the less said about their entire weekend, the better.
23:18But Colopinto thanked the mechanics for rebuilding his car after his qualifying crash.
23:22Raio Komatsu here from Haas.
23:24Lee were at the Haas trucks trying to explain or reason to his engineers why they had such
23:30a terrible weekend as well, because it did not finish for Esteban Ocon.
23:34He had a pit stop on lap one for strategical reasons, tactical stop onto the hard tyre,
23:40but then stopped after Tosa due to a power unit issue.
23:43It ran out of pneumatic pressure.
23:46It ran out of air, did the power unit on...
23:50There's a chat from Dallara, interestingly, talking to Aya Komatsu there.
23:53But, of course, Dallara make a lot of the Haas bits.
23:57But, yeah, that's what happened to Ocon.
23:58Ollie Bem was a hard tyre starter, pitted, but then had to pit again with a long stop
24:02because there was a problem with the previous set of tyres.
24:05So that's why Bem came back into the pits, unexpectedly, from his mechanics.
24:11And then there was a question about the set of tyres and whether they were on properly,
24:19which they were, but, yeah, a real bit of an issue there for Ollie Bem.
24:2417th.
24:24Right, Racing Bulls.
24:25Liam Lawson, 14th.
24:27Isaac Hadjar, 9th.
24:28And I said, after Max Verstappen, the best Red Bull driver today was Isaac Hadjar.
24:31In fact, all weekend, been a very strong race for Isaac Hadjar, racing lots of people.
24:36Yes, he got overtaken, taken by some faster cars, but then who didn't today?
24:40And finished P9, very strong, very good, they said on the radio.
24:43And, yeah, two more points for the likeable Frenchman.
24:48Liam Lawson, pitted on lap 10, where Isaac went long.
24:51And then all Lawson could do was 14th, just behind Pierre Gasly.
24:56And still no points for Liam Lawson.
24:58And by that, Mark, still no points for Fernando Alonso either.
25:04But very close for Fernando Alonso.
25:06Right, let's have a bit more cheer, shall we?
25:09And that is the Williams team, because they are emerging as consistent point scorers.
25:13And they've scored points with both drivers today.
25:15When, despite a scare for Alex Albon, with a leak before the grid, the pit lane opened, but it was fixed.
25:21And the big winner of the Virtues safety car ran P3, did Alex Albon.
25:24Then he pitted again under the Kimi Antonelli safety car and was quick.
25:27He tried on Leclerc, went into the gravel, as I've already said.
25:30He felt that Leclerc basically pushed him into the gravel and went down to 6th.
25:34But then he got that place back when Leclerc gave him back.
25:38And it wasn't, he felt it wasn't fair.
25:40But he chased that Leclerc back and he got it.
25:44So well done, Alex Albon.
25:45Really one of the stars of the season.
25:49And yeah, they're trying to, they're taking the roof at Williams here.
25:53Sainz was another one who was with the curse of the early pit stoppers off the medium tyre.
25:59So was not the right disastrous early stopper.
26:02And that's why he dropped well down and ended up being P8.
26:06And finally, on their 600th Grand Prix weekend, we can say bad luck to Nico Hülkenberg and Sauber,
26:13because they didn't finish too far off a point.
26:15Nico Hülkenberg was 12th and actually ran in the top 10 at some point.
26:18Various points throughout the race today.
26:20Hülkenberg 12th, Gabriel Bortoletto 18th.
26:22Hülkenberg 1 with a virtual safety car, raced up to P11.
26:25Bortoletto is P16.
26:27It was up to P10 was Hülkenberg, but then got done by Yuki Tsunoda.
26:29Stayed out, one stopped.
26:31He one stopped.
26:31Think about that with all the safety cars today.
26:33So they took their strategic advantages and chances and it paid off for them.
26:38But the best that you can do if you're in a Sauber when you do that is only P12.
26:42So P18 for Gabriel Bortoletto.
26:45Right, that is about it.
26:47A few trailers.
26:50Indie qualifying.
26:52One of the many sessions, but 9pm tonight.
26:56So tune in for some more indie qualifying tonight.
27:00The F1 show, don't call it a podcast podcast,
27:03is on the Sky Sports F1 podcast feed from Tuesday evening.
27:08I think I'm doing it with Simon and Harry, maybe Benjamin.
27:13And then it's Monaco next week in seven days time.
27:19So yeah, it's been pretty glorious here.
27:22And yeah, he came, he saw, he conquered.
27:24And it was Max Verstappen, the virtuoso, the maestro, who had the best of Imola today.
27:30And yeah, if this was the last time, then Imola, then grazie and arrivederce.
27:35We will see you in Monaco in a few days time.
27:39Have a good week, everybody.
