Video: Red Bull remembers weekend in Melbourne

Formula 1 has long had a good tradition of filming every day of the race weekend and then posting the results on YouTube so that fans can go behind the scenes of the events and see them through the eyes of a particular staff. team.

This year they are doing it at Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin and other teams, including Red Bull Racing. This documentary about how Mc Verstappen, Sergio Pérez and their colleagues worked last weekend is well worth watching as you can really relive the holiday spirit that came with the Melbourne race.

The film opens with two-year-old footage shot in the Albert Park paddock on that unfortunate weekend when the Australian Grand Prix was canceled due to the pandemic. This race was not held for two years and local fans had time to miss Formula 1, so they were looking forward to returning to Melbourne with particular impatience.

And the long wait paid off! Someone was lucky: the Red Bull team gave some fans passes to the paddock and you will see tears of genuine joy in the eyes of the girl who received this treasure. At least that’s how the Australian fan took the gift.

Check out footage of Sergio Pérez driving the Australian Supercars series to Red Bull’s regular pit stop practice, with the drivers having fun trying to put on a distinctive Aussie accent and trying Vegemite – a very specific product typical of Australian cuisine.

In general, there are many interesting episodes in the film. For example, before the Parade of drivers, Max and Sebastian Vettel had a short conversation: the Aston Martin driver offered the reigning world champion to exchange helmets. Of course, they immediately agreed to do it in one of the next stages of the season.

Of course you can feel the nervous tension that came with the race, which did not end as the team had planned: Max Verstappen was unable to reach the finish due to technical problems. But Sergio Perez took second place, which isn’t bad either, as in Australia a clear speed advantage was on the side of Ferrari and Charles Leclerc.

Of course Maxa was upset after the race and that was what worried him most: “First of all, we have to make sure that we get to the finish line in the races. Now this is the most important. But we will quickly draw conclusions from what happened today.”

Less than ten days before the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, let’s see how the team will tackle things at the classic Italian circuit in Imola.
