We take a closer look at what makes the country special. Plus we look at Mister Shanghai himself - world champion Hamilton. And: Williams Martini on the way to being the third force. Now, though, firstly: interesting and curious facts from China! People and country: China 00:05 Original sound: Daniel Ricciardo, Red Bull Racing, English “Ni Hao China! ” >>00:06 00:07 Ni Hao! Welcome to China! 00:10 Where 2016 is the Year of the Fire Monkey. 00:14 Bordering China are 14 countries and at 22,133km they have the world's longest border. No other country tops that. 00:24 The summit of Mount Everest marks the border between Nepal and China. 00:29 As a result of the one-child policy, there will be 40 million men in the singles market in 2020. Given such an impact, perhaps the first Chinese Formula 1 star will also be among them! 00:42 Half of the world's pigs also live here, 450 million animals. Accompanied mainly by rice. 00:52 Hmm, tasty snake: well peppered, reminds you of chicken. 00:56 Original sound: Kai Ebel, German "In China they simply eat everything that swims or flies." >>00:59 01:01 Original sound: Kai Ebel, German "Except boats and planes." >>01:02 01:03 And what does San Francisco have to do with China? The fortune cookie comes from there.

Ends: 01:17 00:00 The Briton, then, is the man to beat here. In Shanghai he has the chance of a possible Chinese hat-trick. >>00:03 Lewis Hamilton 00:02 This world champion divides opinion. If they had to describe him in three words, some would say: "Exceptional, exemplary, rock star." 00:16 Others would choose words like: "Diva and bad loser." 00:22 For Lewis himself only these three words count: 00:27 Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes AMG Petronas, English “Drivers World Champion! ” >>00:29 00:30 The 2008, 2014 and 2015 titles - so far. By the end of this season, he could become the only Briton with four world champion titles. 00:43 Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes AMG Petronas, English “I don ’t really think too much about it to be honest, but it ’s definitely very cool when people remind me of the stats and the things that I ’ve achieved. I was just watching a clip the other day of me carting somewhere in the UK, and it ’s crazy to think that I talked of the future like “one day I ’m going to be in Formula One, you know if I get there, that ’s what I ’m going to do and you know, it would be cool if I get to drive for McLaren, it ’d be cool if I get to win the World Championship. ” >>01:07 01:08 2008: surprise success in the final seconds. 01:15 But thereafter Hamilton loses momentum - from 2009 to '12 it's others battling it out for the title. After months of rumours, the switch then comes in 2013 - Hamilton leaves McLaren, remains loyal to silver and replaces Michael Schumacher in the works team. 01:33 Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes AMG Petronas, English RTV GmbH Tel.: +49 70 31 64 90-50 USt.-ID-Nr. / VAT-ID: DE164706327 Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 24 Fax : +49 70 31 64 90-66 Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 243623 71034 Böblingen · Germany eMail: [email protected] GF / Managing Partner: Oliver Bauss, Oliver Koblenzer Seite 4 von 29 29 “At least 90 % of the people said it was the wrong move. Particularly the media all talked trash about it. I ’ve been with McLaren a long, long time, since I was thirteen, had a long, long run with them, and I kind of looked at a point where I just didn ’t feel there was any further for me to go in that space. In terms of, how did I know the team was going to be a successful one I think it was when I sat down with Ross Brawn – he showed me where the team ’s been, and where the team is planning to go. The real selling point was really understanding why they ’re not doing so well at the moment and what they ’re going to do to make that change. I knew that they don ’t know how to lose. They only know how to win and I wanted to be a part of that. ” >>02:17 02:18 His instinct proves right: following the change to the hybrid system, Mercedes leads the field - with Hamilton in front. 02:25 Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes AMG Petronas, English “So I ’m standing next to three of my cars. This one ’s the car from 2014, the W05. This is the car that took us to the Championship in 2014; it was an amazing year. Far ahead of everyone else. We did a better job with the engine, with the whole car as a package. It took me to my second World Championship, which I had dreamed of doing in a new team. I ’m heading over to the W06 which we won the Championship with last year in 2015. A real beauty. Basically she is an evolution of the W05. With this car, we broke all the records that we have set already in 2014, we had already hit new records didn ’t even think we would be able to set. And here we have my new Baby, so this is W07 for the 2016 World Championship. This is the vessel that ’s going to take us to that Championship. Even if they ’re all similar and all do the same thing, that ’s a pretty huge leap in development, and that ’s the name of the game. ” >>03:27 03:31 The second name of the game is: speed. And Hamilton has it. He goes into direct duels with the courage and confidence of a multiple world champion. All that counts for him is victory. 03:44 Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes AMG Petronas, English “Of course of love winning and that is always the goal. ” >>03:47 03:48 But he's not infallible. Deficiencies in qualifying, too impatient in direct duels and he certainly lets himself get distracted occasionally by his private life. The best example: the last three races of 2015. 03:59 Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes AMG Petronas, English „So, you know, my attention was elsewhere. ” >>04:06 RTV GmbH Tel.: +49 70 31 64 90-50 USt.-ID-Nr. / VAT-ID: DE164706327 Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 24 Fax : +49 70 31 64 90-66 Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 243623 71034 Böblingen · Germany eMail: [email protected] GF / Managing Partner: Oliver Bauss, Oliver Koblenzer Seite 5 von 29 29 04:08 None of that hurts his role as favourite - but the competition is strong, especially in his own team. He has twice been able to set the bar too high for team-mate Rosberg. Whether he'll manage it a third time remains to be seen. 04:27 Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes AMG Petronas, English „So that ’s the unknown. ” >>04:28 Ends: 04:30 00:00 Mercedes Power's making it possible. Williams on the way to becoming a challenger to silver and red.>>00:05 Williams Martini Racing 00:04 Tradition, 00:06 courage, 00:07 English sportsmanship: 00:10 that's Williams. Steeped in history, the team this year is battling for its place at the front. 00:19 Original sound: Felipe Massa, Williams Martini Racing, English „We finished third in the last two years, now we want to finish at least second; you know we try everything we can. We know it ’s not easy, it ’s difficult, and we can ’t forget the other teams are working hard as well. Third is already a great result for us. ” >>00:33 00:34 As a genuine independent without the financial backing of a large group, the team from Grove doesn't have it easy - which makes the successes of the last two years all the more significant! 00:49 Original sound: Claire Williams, Deputy Team Principal, Williams Martini Racing, English „We ’re still ahead of teams with bigger budgets than us, you know, the likes of Red Bull and McLaren have got twice, three times the size of our budget. So it ’s a considerable achievement that everyone at Williams should be very proud of. ” >>01:01 RTV GmbH Tel.: +49 70 31 64 90-50 USt.-ID-Nr. / VAT-ID: DE164706327 Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 24 Fax : +49 70 31 64 90-66 Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 243623 71034 Böblingen · Germany eMail: [email protected] GF / Managing Partner: Oliver Bauss, Oliver Koblenzer Seite 6 von 29 29 01:02 But wanting to achieve a lot even without great financial resources is almost part of the tradition for the team.
