These are the driver rooms both Carlos and Lando have their own place let's see
if Carlos is in here. He's not, come on in. So look, massage bed, drinks bottle, this
is everything that he needs in the grand prix weekend. Come in here. He's got his
overalls, he's got his fireproof clothing down here,
he's even got these extraordinary slippers, messages on a postcard. Nice
one Carlos. So this is where Carlos lives. Final word
here is everything at these flyaway races has to come in a container even
the plates there you go that's the detail we live to at McLaren. I wonder if
Lando's in here. Let's have a quick look. Hello chief! Hello. That's Lando Norris.
His room is exactly the same as Carlos'. Good luck fella.
Come down here. So we're gonna take you on a bit of a tour of everything McLaren
you've seen the driver rooms... this is where all the entertaining with a
capital 'E' takes place. The kitchens are going to produce 1,500 meals over the
course of this weekend it's quite extraordinary what the guys at Absolute Taste
manage to do. There's Carlos Sainz - Chili big wave! Chili you got him
there good luck in the race. This is Lando's family, Carlos' family over
there. Come through into the paddock. Now this is one of the most exciting
paddocks of the year. It's green, it's beautiful here at Albert Park in
Melbourne and we've got new neighbors this year we've got Haas on our right,
Racing Point on our left. There's always a bit of banter between everybody let's
head into the garage
Now. You've got to remember that at these flyaway races, everything comes in a
container we have 12 tonnes of sea freight that left the MTC back in
January. 32 tons of air freight that arrived in Melbourne last weekend, and
will be packed up within six hours at the end of the race and head off to
Bahrain. Come on in. This is where we pay homage to all of our world champions
Ayrton Senna, Mika Häkkinen, Niki Lauda, Emerson Fittipaldi - first ever McLaren
world champion. James Hunt. All of the intercom systems are based here. Who's
that? That's Lewis of course. We're now heading into the garage.
It's very important that we give all of our guests a proper experience when they come to
the grand prix. It's a great innovation we have here. This is Race Watch, where
you can actually be in the garage and living a qualifying session that's
coming up later for example. You feel right in the thick of it and we've just
what is it? An hour and a bit to go until qualifying, everybody's frantically busy.
This is where the engineer's are based.
We're on this side of the garage. We're on Lando's side of the garage here. So Will Joseph and all his
engineers here constantly talking to them over the radio and then come
through here out into the pit-lane. The Aussies love it here
look at them they look after the fans so well. And this is what we call the pit-
lane walkabout. Ladies you could just not go in but I'm
just gonna bring a camera through here we're crossing it's a very narrow pit
lane here you'll see quite often on the TV that the drivers have to have two goes
at getting out of the garage. And then there's just a few lovely little touches
Formula 1 is so sophisticated yet we still have pit-boards and old-fashioned
numbers. Both drivers have that hung out at the end of every lap that they do
on track. But of course it's here this is where the brains sit. The boffins of the
operation, all of the race engineers, Zak, Gil de Ferran, they're all here
and these are the numbers that really count and I can't show you those. Mum's
the word.
