Max Verstappen had an amazing wet race.

Kimi Antonelli in his junior career, just like Max Verstappen, had an amazing wet race.

there are days where you'll just see a truly great driver leave the competition behind in the wet.

It's in those moments that team principals in Formula One will say, we're going all in on this person.

But yeah, Toto Wolff is the team boss of Mercedes.

He had failed to sign Max Verstappen.

He had then had to sit through and stand underneath the podium every time Verstappen won.

So he resolved to himself the next prodigy that comes through, I'm getting their signature any way I can.

So to be 18 years of age and to replace Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes and then mess up your first qualifying session and then come dancing through the field to fourth in the wet, Kimi is just a great example.

Yeah, Formula One is always reinventing.

It's been this way since the championship's inception in the 1950s.

Have the rules for a few years, then chuck them out, try something new.

Sometimes they do it with the chassis.

Sometimes they do it with the power unit.

This year, we've done it with both.

And so there is 50% electrical energy and there is 50% traditional combustion engine energy.

And that is a really unusual mix.

We've got sustainable fuel.

The cars are shorter.

They are thinner.
