00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,McLaren, one of the greatest
teams in FORMULA ONE,

00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,has allowed
unprecedented access

00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,throughout their
2017 pre-season.

00:00:18,267 --> 00:00:21,It's a race against time
to build a car...

00:00:21,067 --> 00:00:23,I've never seen it
as bad as this.

00:00:23,433 --> 00:00:24,...for a global launch...

00:00:24,733 --> 00:00:26,We will win again.

00:00:26,167 --> 00:00:28,...and testing in
Barcelona...

00:00:28,167 --> 00:00:29,MARK TEMPLE:
Drive straight out.

00:00:29,367 --> 00:00:30,...with their drivers,

00:00:30,767 --> 00:00:33,two-time world champion
Fernando Alonso...

00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:35,To win three
world championships,

00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,that's my first
and only priority.

00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:40,...and rookie
Stoffel Vandoorne...

00:00:40,867 --> 00:00:43,WOMAN: Push,
push, push, push, push!

00:00:43,333 --> 00:00:45,STOFFEL: It's been a dream
for me to be in FORMULA ONE
and to race for McLaren.

00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,...in the most momentous
pre-season
in the team's history.

00:01:39,833 --> 00:01:41,McLaren Racing

00:01:41,633 --> 00:01:44,has been successful
over 50 years.

00:01:46,667 --> 00:01:52,In 1980, Ron Dennis came in
as Chief Executive to
this business.

00:01:52,367 --> 00:01:56,Ron's contribution has been
more than outstanding.

00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,The McLaren Technology Centre
is the house that Ron built.

00:02:07,167 --> 00:02:10,Ron has instilled
in every one of us,

00:02:10,433 --> 00:02:11,the core values

00:02:11,867 --> 00:02:14,and the mythology
of this organisation.

00:02:17,633 --> 00:02:21,McLaren is still the second
most successful team
in FORMULA ONE history,

00:02:21,433 --> 00:02:24,behind Ferrari.

00:02:24,833 --> 00:02:29,In 2012, we won seven races,
2013 we won none,

00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,and it's been
a lean period since then.

00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,JONATHAN: In 2015,

00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,McLaren formed
the partnership with Honda

00:02:38,667 --> 00:02:41,to give us that
championship-winning status.

00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:45,JOHN: Ron said to me once,

00:02:45,067 --> 00:02:47,there is a budget
to compete in FORMULA ONE,

00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,which typically can be
anywhere around £90 million

00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:55,and to be competitive
in FORMULA ONE

00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,is about another £100 million
on top of that.

00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,REPORTER: There has been a
poisonous boardroom situation
for some months now.

00:03:37,133 --> 00:03:39,Mr Dennis, at the moment,
is on gardening leave.

00:03:40,533 --> 00:03:42,Those close to him tell me

00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,he's taken this
pretty badly, indeed.

00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,He feels he's been betrayed
by his own family as it were.

00:03:48,867 --> 00:03:51,Something potentially of
a power vacuum,

00:03:51,733 --> 00:03:55,at the moment, at this team.

00:03:55,433 --> 00:03:59,The board does not
renew Ron Dennis's contract
with McLaren.

00:04:00,667 --> 00:04:03,After 37 years, he is out.

00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,David, if you could bring
everything up to my office,

00:04:18,333 --> 00:04:20,cos I'm gonna change out
of these clothes.

00:04:23,433 --> 00:04:25,In a change from the past,

00:04:25,267 --> 00:04:27,the day-to-day running
of McLaren

00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:30,will no longer be by one man,

00:04:30,167 --> 00:04:32,but by a team of
three executives

00:04:32,733 --> 00:04:34,working under
the shareholders.

00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:45,We finished at
3:30 last night.

00:04:45,367 --> 00:04:47,ZAK BROWN: Really?
-3:30.

00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:49,JONATHAN:
Great support from...

00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,Shaikh Mohammed and Mansour
all through, which is good.

00:04:52,433 --> 00:04:54,-Yeah.

00:04:54,567 --> 00:04:56,Constantly available,
which is good. Yeah.

00:04:58,633 --> 00:05:03,JONATHAN: Zak brings
a wealth of experience,
commercially, in FORMULA ONE.

00:05:03,733 --> 00:05:06,He's been the go-to guy
for sponsorship for

00:05:06,667 --> 00:05:10,many of the FORMULA ONE teams
for over a decade.

00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:13,He's a former race driver,
he's been a fan of McLaren,

00:05:13,733 --> 00:05:16,and he complements us
as a team.

00:05:19,233 --> 00:05:21,ZAK: There's been something
like 120 race teams

00:05:21,633 --> 00:05:24,in the last 30-plus years
that have come and gone,

00:05:24,467 --> 00:05:26,so it's an expensive sport.

00:05:26,367 --> 00:05:29,If you don't have a lot of
backing, you can go bust.

00:05:31,133 --> 00:05:34,Jonathan and I
are attached at the hip.

00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:36,He's more technical,
I'm more commercial.

00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:40,Eric runs the racing team.

00:05:40,567 --> 00:05:42,His primary responsibility is

00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,to get the most out of
the drivers.

00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,Ca va bien?

00:06:26,067 --> 00:06:30,ALONSO: What I want
to achieve now is a third
World Championship.

00:06:30,367 --> 00:06:33,To win three World
Championships will mean that

00:06:33,567 --> 00:06:36,you win the same of Ayrton,
first of all,

00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,and then,
on the personal side,

00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:41,after difficult years
and difficult seasons,

00:06:41,367 --> 00:06:46,if you...go through
those moments and you win it,

00:06:46,667 --> 00:06:48,I think
a third World Championship

00:06:48,533 --> 00:06:51,will have more value for me
on the personal side

00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:53,than the first
and the second.

00:06:54,533 --> 00:06:56,-See you later.
ALONSO: Ciao.

00:07:04,567 --> 00:07:08,Every year,
each FORMULA ONE team
builds a new car.

00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:10,This year's McLaren MCL32

00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,will be built with
13,500 brand-new parts,

00:07:15,567 --> 00:07:20,each of which is meticulously
designed and fabricated.

00:07:20,067 --> 00:07:22,The first two or three days
are always quite difficult,

00:07:22,567 --> 00:07:25,because it's when we find out
what shortages we've g***t,

00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:28,what parts we need.

00:07:28,733 --> 00:07:31,It just gets very frustrating.
You're trying to build a car

00:07:31,867 --> 00:07:34,and there's one bit
that'll be stopping you.

00:07:34,233 --> 00:07:35,You need to juggle those parts.

00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:49,STOFFEL:
First day at McLaren
as official race driver.

00:07:49,733 --> 00:07:53,I know it's one of the nicest
buildings in FORMULA ONE.

00:07:53,367 --> 00:07:55,And you know when you walk
along the boulevard

00:07:55,467 --> 00:07:57,with all
the historic cars here,

00:07:57,700 --> 00:07:59,it's a very special feeling.

00:07:59,267 --> 00:08:02,Hopefully, one day
my car will be here as well.

00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,It's seat fitting,

00:08:04,733 --> 00:08:07,getting the first impressions
of next year's car.

00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:09,I always like seat-fit day.

00:08:09,333 --> 00:08:10,Feels like it's all
starting again.

00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:13,-It's good.

00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,Only three more months
to go before...

00:08:15,267 --> 00:08:17,...before getting in the car,
so...

00:08:17,567 --> 00:08:19,People always say,
"Oh, you must be on holiday,

00:08:19,433 --> 00:08:20,because
the season's finished."

00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,But for design,
we're flat out

00:08:22,867 --> 00:08:24,from September
to February, really.

00:08:27,467 --> 00:08:29,MATT BISHOP: Do you remember
how it all started?

00:08:29,567 --> 00:08:31,-2010, so you were--
-11.

00:08:31,833 --> 00:08:33,No, no, no, 2010.

00:08:33,233 --> 00:08:34,-The very first--
-11.

00:08:34,433 --> 00:08:36,-No, 2010.
-11.

00:08:36,633 --> 00:08:39,No, 2011 is when you first
went to the race.

00:08:39,300 --> 00:08:40,-Yes.
-The Nurburgring Grand Prix.

00:08:40,567 --> 00:08:41,-Yes.

00:08:41,867 --> 00:08:43,-Yes, yes. Oh, yeah, 2010.
-Yes, thank you!

00:08:45,367 --> 00:08:47,MATT BISHOP:
I met Stoffel five years ago.

00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:50,COMMENTATOR:
So, Stoffel Vandoorne

00:08:50,267 --> 00:08:54,takes the race win
with a blinding drive.

00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,COMMENTATOR 2:
The 20-year-old Belgian

00:08:55,667 --> 00:08:58,produced a fantastic start,

00:08:58,467 --> 00:09:00,as he overtook ten opponents.

00:09:00,667 --> 00:09:04,MATT BISHOP: He has won
in six separate categories

00:09:04,433 --> 00:09:05,prior to FORMULA ONE,

129...
