The question is
who can hit the buzzer first?
Oh my
Welcome to Battle on the Beach
The only game show
Where Scuderia Ferrari drivers
Duke it out in a battle of wits
here at the Shell Beach House in Zandvoort
They're here to answer the hardest questions in motorsport
And win
There isn't necessarily anything to win
Aside from bragging rights and the fond memories we'll make here along the way
Of course, I'm your host, Lissie Mackintosh
But let's meet our drivers
First up, we have Carlos Sainz Vázquez de Castro
Right Carlos?
Correcto
aka Carlos Sainz
aka The Smooth Operator
from Madrid, Spain
And the future winner
Amazing
Perfect
You can do my job for me
Carlos is a great golf player
Enjoys a gourmet hamburger
And an interesting fact about Carlos
He’s a racing driver
Is that
It says an interesting fact about Carlos
is that he would rather be watching football in his trailer
than doing this informative and entertaining game show
Is that true Carlos?
If it’s a normal league match
Then I prefer to be here
Amazing answer
And then we have
Charles Marc Hervé Perceval Leclerc
aka Charles Leclerc from Monaco
aka Lord Perceval
Now Charles
No interesting fact on me?
Well, it says here that aside from being an accomplished racecar driver
you've also become a good piano player
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Legendary jazz pianist Thelonious Monk once said
that “the piano ain't got no wrong notes.”
So have you managed to find any?
No, I didn't
Every time I play, it's beautiful
Well
The rules of the game are simple
I'm going to ask a question that will definitely be related
to Shell and its Innovation Partnership with Scuderia Ferrari
And then the first person to hit that buzzer in front of
you will have the chance to answer
If you answer correctly, you'll be awarded one point, an incorrect answer
and one point will be deducted and the other driver
will have the chance to answer
Does that all make sense?
Yes. No.
Sorry
We're going to have to move on anyway
It’s okay
Okay
First question
Are you ready?
Since 2021 Shell have used the R33 blue diesel,
which helps to reduce CO₂ emissions by at least 22%*.
To fuel
It's European traveling logistics truck.
The 33, in R33 means that it's made from
33% certified renewable components that are strictly derived
I lost it
like used cooking oil
Now, if Charles Leclerc were to attempt to cook for himself and create a delicious
and nutritious meal, what would that meal be?
Hesitant I like it
This is the most difficult question ever
Chicken with pasta?
That’s incorrect
I'm sorry
Carlos
Come to you
What do you mean?
The question is about me
How can I be wrong
Starting with -1 Charles
Something about pasta pesto with chicken
Pesto with chicken?
So
No
I'm so sorry
I mean, it actually appears
they've listed the correct answer as Charles can’t cook a delicious meal
Oh
I'm so sorry
Anyway, moving right along
With Shell committing to offset
the remaining emissions using carbon credits
The question is this
with 100 being a really good pasta like the kind Carlos makes
and zero being the unfortunate pasta that Charles normally makes
How good would Charles’ pasta be?
We love it
Let's go
Why are you thinking?
0.5?
I feel like
0.55?
It's not quite there
Charles
Zero
Well
The correct answer is definitely not good
But they would have also accepted You can't go lower than zero
So we'll take zero as a point
Congratulations
Charles
So I’m back at zero
I was at -1?
Back at zero
They'd also like to bring up the fact that they keep bringing up Charles
Perceived lack of cooking
Because he's really good at everything else
And they want to say
Thank you
And they want to say
Please let us have this
So next question
And they want me to assure everyone
That this one
Has nothing to do with Charles or his super not good pasta
If Charles Leclerc’s
pasta were to be served cold, could it possibly taste?
Oh, oh, thank
Okay
They want me to go with the ultimate question
Which F1 team?
Oh, I didn't expect that one
We were speaking about tarmac
Oh
Well it has to be
Ferrari
It has to be Ferrari
And it is Ferrari
You’re both getting a point
No, no
Because I said it first and I pressed it the first time so I’m +1
Thank you
Okay
That’s fair enough
Wonderful Carlos Sainz
I'll take that
I'll come back
It's fair
Today we are joined by our very own second generation, Carlos Sainz
His father, the first generation
Carlos Sainz is also a highly accomplished rally car driver
Depends on the machinery
In what and where?
Yeah
I pressed the buzzer though
There’s too many details
Who would win?
I don’t know
So in a rally car
it is definitely Carlos Sainz Sr
I'm getting close
In a road car
on a track
It's for sure
Carlos Sainz Jr that will win
I mean, it's a great answer they were actually just looking for Carlos Sainz
So you get the point
You went above and beyond there Charles
I love that for you
Great one
0 - 0
1 - 1
Let’s leave it at 1 - 1
Yeah
All right
You were correct
Thank you
This is the last question before we move into our speed round
Carlos Sainz
That's really nice of you to say actually
it looks like that's actually the correct answer
I thought it was Marc Gené
Woah where's Marc?
Is Marc involved?
He’s not here
I don't think he’s an F1 driver
I was gonna say Marc Gené
I don't think he’s an F1 driver
Oh
it also says actually
Sorry
I'll only give you the point if you list
He cooks well pasta
No hamburgers
You still need to
You still need to invite me at your house
Time
My turn
To cook me the hamburger
Yeah, but you never want to come
You never invite me
You're always “I’m too busy”
Pasta and hamburgers it’s a good combo
So
A very good chef
Love that
A very fast driver
Very important
And a very poor player
At chess, which makes me feel better whenever I play against him
Do you play a lot?
Yeah, we do
I actually
No we stopped a little bit
I beat him quite often
but
Yeah
this year we haven't played
Yeah
Because you are too disappointed to lose
He retired
Because you are too disappointed to lose
Maybe this weekend is a chess weekend
He retired from chess
Maybe
Carlos
I know you are feeling a little bit hard about that one
They will give you a point
Because
He cannot find them
Take your time
So Carlos
Because I like his style
Fashion?
Driving?
Fashion style
Lovely
Thank you
I mean
You're dressed the same today
So you dress well as well
The top
The watch
This is tough
I need to find another two
Just say you don't like me
It’s all coming out on this game show
Because he gives me an easy time playing padel and golf
Yes
But a hard time at chess
But it's okay
And because
Hmm
Okay
Oh, my
He's not going to get the point
So I think I want
I want
I cannot think
Time is up here guys
We're going to have to move on
Sorry
And I won the challenge
It’s tough
It's tough
Well
It's now time for the speed round
What is that?
So I'm going to ask you a series of rapid questions
All right
Are you guys ready?
I am ready
Here we go
In three, two, one
Shell Helix Ultra
For sure
Shell Helix Ultra
And why is that?
A lot more reliable
He loves me
A lot more attention to detail
into the whole process of fabrication
Love that
A lot more efficiency
I’m not fabricating anything yet
It's easy to name three reasons here
And that's it
Beautiful
I'm disappointed
Like magic
You'll find paper and pens in front of you
Okay
You have 30 seconds - on your marks
Get set
Go
10 seconds left guys
I'm seeing some interesting cars
It's going to be tight I think
5 seconds on the clock
Five
Four
Three
Two
One
Okay, time is up
Can I see your cars, please?
I wrote Shell to give it an extra
But
So there's my number
Right
So have you both been practicing?
Oh whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
These are actually fantastic
I've got to say
Mine is a lot more aerodynamic
Yours is like a
A lorry
What do you mean a lorry?
Mine is like
There's the
There's the Ferrari Shield
There's not the horse
Because I'm not that good
But
I mean
All right
You vote
I gonna have to go with Carlos
be nice
I gonna have to go with Carlos
I'm sorry
Come on
It’s the Shell for me
Charles
It's great
but
Maybe next time
I'm so sorry
No problem
It's okay
I'm getting used to it today
Perfect
Easy
Shell V-Power
Why is that?
Because
It's much more reliable
And
It helps me go quick in the car
Makes better hamburgers?
No
I help you go slower
Unfortunately
So this is for both of you again
My favorite part would be that we get to have two to
Three engineers per race with us at every race weekend analyzing
The lubricants and the fuel
To make sure that we are at 100% reliability and performance every weekend
And this gives us a bit of an edge on the competition for sure
And Charles?
Also for I think for us drivers
It's definitely the relationship
With Shell, no?
Because we speak with our engineers that then speaks
With the Shell team and the collaboration is
Is really, really nice
And of course then there's a lot of work
back at the factory
21,000 man-hours invested
Got some serious stats over here
In the program
So yeah
It's really nice to see the development
And see that
We can also say our words and be part of this development is super interesting
And it looks great on your t-shirts as well
It does
That’s an added bonus
It is
Well
Final question for both of you
But the first one to answer the question
Wins the whole game
Because I actually lost track of the points
I'm so sorry about that
Oh my
That was so quick
The reaction times
She didn’t say and I was already pressing it
It was like I read her mind
It’s like you read my mind
Carlos
I think that makes you our winner
Can you put that in slow more later?
Like how I
Bah
So there you have it
Carlos Sainz won
I guess
Worst day of my life
I'm not really sure how this even qualifies as a game show
but I hope we all learned a lot along the way and had some fun
Congratulations to our new champion
Carlos Sainz
You can take the buzzer home with you
You can keep my picture
I take the buzzer
Perfect
Thank you very much
On behalf of the entire crew
We would like to thank our Scuderia Ferrari
My car was much better
Drivers for joining us today
And thank Shell for inviting us to the Shell Beach House at Zandvoort
Of course
Thank you for watching
The producers would also like to offer a sincere apology to Charles
For speaking so critically about his cooking
As well as our deepest sympathies
To anyone who's ever had to eat anything Charles has prepared
All right
See you next time
It's actually quite good
I like it
He overcooks it though
