Transcripts

00:00

and one of the great motor races begins

00:03

in Five Lights time and the Monaco Grand

00:06

Prix is underway we get the launch from

00:09

the line from Char Clair he's going to

00:11

maintain the lead could be second place

00:13

for Ferrari they go side by side with

00:15

pastri and signs juking it out but the

00:17

Australian driver kept second place the

00:19

top four the top five as they were as

00:21

lir gets the launch that he needed but

00:23

he's had a problem is not an issue looks

00:25

like the Sparks out of the back of the

00:27

car for signs he has got a problem he's

00:29

off and he's out Carlos signs on the

00:31

opening lap was the wheel banging

00:33

between those two because the Spanish

00:35

driver is out on the opening lap of the

00:37

Grand Prix there must have been a touch

00:39

then SS of pastri pastri was so brave at

00:41

the first Corner hanging it around the

00:43

outside the wall then pinches in on the

00:46

exit and there must have been a slight

00:48

touch between them watch pastri watch

00:50

Oscar pastri in second place he's all

00:52

over the back of the Scarlet Ferrari

00:54

trying to chase his way by can he Force

00:56

his way pass to the newv Val chicane

00:58

would have been bold but McLaren firing

01:01

up their tires so quickly one Ferrari

01:04

out immediately and the red flag is

01:06

flying on lap one of 78 oh that's a big

01:09

crash that we didn't see further back

01:11

most important thing to see look no

01:13

front left no front right but Perez

01:15

thankfully out of the car and a huge

01:17

amount of debris but extraordinarily

01:20

four cars out on the opening

01:22

lap this is the touch there for science

01:25

oh it's a little one but just carbon

01:27

fiber there of the edge of the floor for

01:28

piastri and science knows he's got to

01:30

puncture immediately watch Perez it's

01:32

going to be down the inside it's

01:33

magneson with the clip that causes the

01:36

accident and that's a massive hit into

01:38

the wall he doesn't back out does he he

01:40

just never it's not in his DNA for Kevin

01:42

Magnuson to back out so Perez must have

01:44

had a pretty bad start to be down there

01:46

with both H cars so hulkenberg might get

01:49

a view of this or was he the I think he

01:51

was ahead wasn't he on as per is ahead

01:53

so Magnuson sneaks up the inside of

01:55

hulkenberg yeah magnus's going to be on

01:56

the right hand side that's where the

01:58

contact is going to be oh I mean Magnus

02:00

will say that Perez should have opened

02:02

given him a bit more space to go side by

02:04

side up there are you okay

02:06

Nico uh damn it that was unnecessary

02:12

yeah so this is going to be the the

02:14

angle I think there's the Gap and he's

02:16

already touched the wall himself and

02:18

then just keeps his foot in he just

02:19

never backs out he's on 10 points on his

02:21

license you'd think he'd be cautious at

02:23

the moment that that's going to be him

02:25

gone that is EST Bok on chancing one at

02:28

portier the two alp come

02:32

together what did he do what did he do

02:36

what did he try to attack

02:39

go

02:41

damage I can tell you esan okon is in

02:44

the garage having his car looked at and

02:47

that is

02:48

why we were able to establish an order

02:51

but the order for the restart has been

02:53

given a signs in third position that is

02:56

a huge let off for the Spanish driver

03:01

we're underway and racing once again on

03:04

the streets of Monaco looks like a good

03:06

launch for Oscar pastra he's got nowhere

03:08

to go though Charla Clair maintains the

03:10

lead once again Lando Norris was close

03:12

with Carlos sains but it's George

03:13

Russell who's got the better traction

03:15

with that Medium Tire can he get close

03:17

no he can't top five top six as they

03:19

were off the line will we make our way

03:21

through this sequence of Corners

03:23

unscathed this time we will and everyone

03:26

will be trying to bring the tire

03:28

temperature in

03:30

I can't imagine he's feeling too

03:32

comfortable there he's is measuring the

03:35

pace he can fluctuate it as he likes

03:37

he's now on this lap a second slower

03:38

than the lap before and that's why

03:40

piastra is right with him but when you

03:42

have the bright yellow car in your

03:44

mirror that close that was less than

03:45

3/10 into the best overtaking place on

03:47

the circuit piastri is only about half a

03:49

car from throwing a lunge that you can't

03:52

be sitting too comfortable if you're in

03:54

that position this is really close

03:57

now sh Landing I guess because that was

04:00

close with one

04:04

might agrees with Jolan

04:08

p and Aston Martin can do something here

04:10

because they have both cars 11th and

04:12

12th they are now giving up Alonzo's

04:14

race to get a big gap to uh to stroll so

04:17

stroll can have a pit stop and go and

04:19

attack gazley so Alonzo's managing this

04:21

pace still even though he's on a medium

04:23

Tire he's just keeping Ricardo here and

04:24

is frustrating for a driver that's has

04:27

so many big lunge overtakes in his

04:29

career here is not able to do one just

04:31

yet and my word Lance stroll is making a

04:35

pit stop something is happening in the

04:38

pit Lane in front of us 2.3 seconds and

04:41

all of Alonzo's work has built a gap for

04:43

his Canadian

04:46

teammate just for your info I think you

04:49

have around I mean do you want to know

04:51

the budg no Charles we're not interested

04:54

we know he said all right no we are not

04:58

interested that's rude

05:03

sorry oh no stoll's got a puner stroll

05:06

has a puncher and his Amo up to the back

05:09

of Pierre gazley will not happen that's

05:13

the carcass off the rim stroll back to

05:16

the pit Lane and that deletes the chance

05:19

of seeing some pressure later

05:23

on this VRI botas driver in 13th

05:26

position and he's in 13th position

05:28

because he's going to go to the inside

05:31

and we've got an overtake at Monaco vry

05:34

vas gets by he's past Logan Sergeant at

05:37

mirabo what a move best of the

05:40

race and it's very fast at this stage of

05:43

the tunnel for Lance stroll who had to

05:45

back off but did eventually get through

05:47

down to the newv chicane on those soft

05:49

tires he had better tires got the run on

05:52

acceleration but then had a moment of

05:54

doubt it's an overtaking banza another

05:57

one for strong another one he's got a

05:59

another driver and he goes past Logan

06:03

Sergeant oh my word more than a brush

06:06

double touch there I think from Joe and

06:09

Sergeant I would say the the highlights

06:10

real of this one is not going to be the

06:12

longest yeah good luck to the

06:15

editor and this is Logan Sergeant

06:17

overtaking Joe guu and getting up to

06:19

15th Place and he did that whilst he was

06:22

making his way through the

06:24

traffic in 2017 charl clir lost his

06:27

father and in his final day he told his

06:30

father a white lie that he'd made it to

06:33

Formula 1 that he'd signed the contract

06:36

it wasn't true then but his driving has

06:39

made it true now and look what he's done

06:41

with the opportunity the grand stands he

06:44

06:48
