GianPiero Lambiase & Max Verstappen’s Most Iconic Radio Moments

Whoa, there's a giant lizard on the track. Face to face with Godzilla then, mate. To the pit lane, please, Max. Or should I call you Elvis? No, no, don't do that. Max Verstappen wins the Spanish Grand Prix! Max, you nursed that Tarsier home brilliantly, mate. Really well done. It was like driving on ice the last 10 laps, unbelievable. I'm not even going to say what happened. What happened? No, I'm not going to say it. People are blind. The overtake is available if you want to cancel the clip. Back to mode 10. Yeah, yeah. OK, do it yourself, Max. Closing in on Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton leading the race. Verstappen goes down the inside. Hamilton sees that coming. What do you want me to do? What are we doing? Staying out, Max. Yeah, so... Are we on a one-stop or a two-stop at the moment? Right. OK. I can't hear everything. On the way, Bruce. Yeah, don't use the stereo as well. OK, Max, we'll need a bit more detail than that. Not everything is digital, please, mate. GP2. Oh, jeez, Max. GP2, GP2. Do we have two GPs? Go away. What's my fastest lap? Yours is a 17.3. Like I say, you've been given a black and white flag, so we cannot afford anything. Verstappen has turned the whip up on that last lap and done a 1.16.3. OK, now can you bring it home within the white lines? Thank you. Yeah, yeah. OK, for reference, that lap exceeded track limits at turn 19, so that lap won't count. Don't answer, mate. I don't know what you're going to say. Oh, mate, it's like a boat in the last sector. I can't do anything. Do you want to fit a full wetback? It is all about the last sector. I have no grip there at all. Basically, if you think you're not going to be able to keep it on the black stuff in the final sector, then we'll have to pit. So let me know. Yeah. Well, like this is not going to work, I think. So is that a yes or a no, mate? Yeah, I guess, yeah. I mean, this is not going to work. So you want to pit for full wets? OK. OK, box if you need to, Max, so please box. Otherwise, stay out. If you need to, you can manage it. This time he gets there, he locks up and he makes contact with his old rival. Verstappen and Hamilton come together again. He has moved under braking. I'm not even going to get into a radio fight with the other teams, Max. We'll let the stewards do their thing. It's childish on the radio. Childish. Did you learn anything? No, not really. Yeah, well done. Excellent. OK, so now Sebastian ahead. Immediately ahead of him is Sainz. This could still be done, mate. Max Verstappen, super little move. He's finding grip where no one else is. Atta boy. Go on. So Hamilton does have DRS. Yeah, I got it. 0.8. Yeah, I believe it. Hello. 0.9. And mode 7, please, Max. All right, calm yourself down. Mode 7. I just want to be on my game, mate, so I know when to do things or not. I don't give one race. DRS, 0.6. 17th on the grid to the win. A return to victory when it mattered most. His first win for a Grand Prix since back in June. It's been a long time coming, mate, but boy, was that worth the wait. You are the man. Oh, yes! What an unbelievable race, guys. You know what that is? Simply lovely. I tell you that. You almost put 2016 into the shade there. That was absolutely impossible. Fantastic. Well done, everyone. Never give up. What a day. Emotions left and right. Unbelievable. And that is how we silence them. Exactly. The main losses to Lando. Turn 2, turn 6. Yes, my tyres don't work, mate. Just information, Max. That's all. Yes, same for me. So, Max, seven laps remaining, including this one. The gap behind is 18 seconds. You've done all of the hard work, so it should bring this home. No risk. No push. Okay, Max, final lap. No risk. No push. Max Verstappen for the first time ever is champion of the world. Oh, my Lord, Max. Yes! Oh, my God. Mate, the whole season they tried to bring you down. Oh, yeah. The one piece of luck. One piece of luck. Came down to the last lap. Unbelievable. You enjoy this, mate. There's a lizard again on the track. A smaller one this time. Okay, understood. Maybe Godzilla had a kid. Radio check, Max. Yeah, radio check. Okay, you are loud. But not clear. That's a bit clearer now, yeah. Fantastic banter between GP and Max. Oh, yeah, yeah. These tyres are already vibrating like I flat-spotted for 300 metres. What a joke, mate. I can't even see where I'm going. So much vibration. Understood, Max. If it's a safety concern for you, we're happy to box. I'll just visit the dentist after the weekend. You have been given the five-second penalty for that incident. Yeah, that's right. Send them my regards. Oh, my shoes feel like a Manifold Red V in 1972. Understood, Max. Yeah, it's again like a clutch while I'm shifting. 1973. DR. Maybe simply corner. Will not have DRS. Please, no talking at the braking. Okay, then the gap will have to come after turn 11, then, Max. So you'll have to wait for that. Gap 2.8. Same pace as Hamilton. Please, no talking at the braking. Gap 3.6. No talking at the braking, then. Remember to drink. To me, remember to drink. Thank you. So let me know if you are boxing or staying out. I want to improve my lap. Yeah, that didn't answer the question. Are you boxing or staying out? Do you want to change or are you staying out? What do you want to change? I'll just try a double slow and see how that goes. Roger that. So if you start to cool the tyres... I prefer to box. We don't feel the risk of boxing is worthwhile. We've got 24 seconds underneath. Come on. Understood. Thank you. Max, we don't need donuts on our race box. And Hamilton is winning the Grand Prix. But look at the state of that Mercedes car. Hamilton's got a puncture ahead. He's slow at turn 9. Don't ruin this. If you get on with it. Verstappen has put his Red Bull into second place. Send it! Nice job. All right, let's go with it now. That pairing of GP and Max. Victorious once again. GP. Yes, mate. I know, I know, I know. Max. So you're looking for plus 0.7. Plus 0.7 on the dash. I'll get bored of this. So just please do it. The car is just bouncing everywhere. It's staring and cocking up. Yeah, OK. We're just going to try and get you through some recommendations for turn 1. Turn 1 looks really poor. No, it's wet. It's not balanced. We are giving you recommendations so that you avoid oversteering into the corner every lap, Max. Whether you take them or not is up to you. And I reckon you owe this beatbox an apology, mate. It's beatbox. Sometimes you can make it better, you know. I think that's what we did. So well done. Great job. Impressions complete. What a year. Well done, my friend. Another yeah, amazing race, guys. And we did it, GP. Mission A. And sorry, GP, for being so on the rant. Slowly getting used to it, Max.
