Transcripts
and one of the great motor races begins
in Five Lights time and the Monaco Grand
Prix is underway we get the launch from
the line from Char Clair he's going to
maintain the lead could be second place
for Ferrari they go side by side with
pastri and signs juking it out but the
Australian driver kept second place the
top four the top five as they were as
lir gets the launch that he needed but
he's had a problem is not an issue looks
like the Sparks out of the back of the
car for signs he has got a problem he's
off and he's out Carlos signs on the
opening lap was the wheel banging
between those two because the Spanish
driver is out on the opening lap of the
Grand Prix there must have been a touch
then SS of pastri pastri was so brave at
the first Corner hanging it around the
outside the wall then pinches in on the
exit and there must have been a slight
touch between them watch pastri watch
Oscar pastri in second place he's all
over the back of the Scarlet Ferrari
trying to chase his way by can he Force
his way pass to the newv Val chicane
would have been bold but McLaren firing
up their tires so quickly one Ferrari
out immediately and the red flag is
flying on lap one of 78 oh that's a big
crash that we didn't see further back
most important thing to see look no
front left no front right but Perez
thankfully out of the car and a huge
amount of debris but extraordinarily
four cars out on the opening
lap this is the touch there for science
oh it's a little one but just carbon
fiber there of the edge of the floor for
piastri and science knows he's got to
puncture immediately watch Perez it's
going to be down the inside it's
magneson with the clip that causes the
accident and that's a massive hit into
the wall he doesn't back out does he he
just never it's not in his DNA for Kevin
Magnuson to back out so Perez must have
had a pretty bad start to be down there
with both H cars so hulkenberg might get
a view of this or was he the I think he
was ahead wasn't he on as per is ahead
so Magnuson sneaks up the inside of
hulkenberg yeah magnus's going to be on
the right hand side that's where the
contact is going to be oh I mean Magnus
will say that Perez should have opened
given him a bit more space to go side by
side up there are you okay
Nico uh damn it that was unnecessary
yeah so this is going to be the the
angle I think there's the Gap and he's
already touched the wall himself and
then just keeps his foot in he just
never backs out he's on 10 points on his
license you'd think he'd be cautious at
the moment that that's going to be him
gone that is EST Bok on chancing one at
portier the two alp come
together what did he do what did he do
what did he try to attack
go
damage I can tell you esan okon is in
the garage having his car looked at and
that is
why we were able to establish an order
but the order for the restart has been
given a signs in third position that is
a huge let off for the Spanish driver
we're underway and racing once again on
the streets of Monaco looks like a good
launch for Oscar pastra he's got nowhere
to go though Charla Clair maintains the
lead once again Lando Norris was close
with Carlos sains but it's George
Russell who's got the better traction
with that Medium Tire can he get close
no he can't top five top six as they
were off the line will we make our way
through this sequence of Corners
unscathed this time we will and everyone
will be trying to bring the tire
temperature in
I can't imagine he's feeling too
comfortable there he's is measuring the
pace he can fluctuate it as he likes
he's now on this lap a second slower
than the lap before and that's why
piastra is right with him but when you
have the bright yellow car in your
mirror that close that was less than
3/10 into the best overtaking place on
the circuit piastri is only about half a
car from throwing a lunge that you can't
be sitting too comfortable if you're in
that position this is really close
now sh Landing I guess because that was
close with one
might agrees with Jolan
p and Aston Martin can do something here
because they have both cars 11th and
12th they are now giving up Alonzo's
race to get a big gap to uh to stroll so
stroll can have a pit stop and go and
attack gazley so Alonzo's managing this
pace still even though he's on a medium
Tire he's just keeping Ricardo here and
is frustrating for a driver that's has
so many big lunge overtakes in his
career here is not able to do one just
yet and my word Lance stroll is making a
pit stop something is happening in the
pit Lane in front of us 2.3 seconds and
all of Alonzo's work has built a gap for
his Canadian
teammate just for your info I think you
have around I mean do you want to know
the budg no Charles we're not interested
we know he said all right no we are not
interested that's rude
sorry oh no stoll's got a puner stroll
has a puncher and his Amo up to the back
of Pierre gazley will not happen that's
the carcass off the rim stroll back to
the pit Lane and that deletes the chance
of seeing some pressure later
on this VRI botas driver in 13th
position and he's in 13th position
because he's going to go to the inside
and we've got an overtake at Monaco vry
vas gets by he's past Logan Sergeant at
mirabo what a move best of the
race and it's very fast at this stage of
the tunnel for Lance stroll who had to
back off but did eventually get through
down to the newv chicane on those soft
tires he had better tires got the run on
acceleration but then had a moment of
doubt it's an overtaking banza another
one for strong another one he's got a
another driver and he goes past Logan
Sergeant oh my word more than a brush
double touch there I think from Joe and
Sergeant I would say the the highlights
real of this one is not going to be the
longest yeah good luck to the
editor and this is Logan Sergeant
overtaking Joe guu and getting up to
15th Place and he did that whilst he was
making his way through the
traffic in 2017 charl clir lost his
father and in his final day he told his
father a white lie that he'd made it to
Formula 1 that he'd signed the contract
it wasn't true then but his driving has
made it true now and look what he's done
with the opportunity the grand stands he
saw built as a kid growing up now rise
for him and for the first time in 93
years this favored race is won by one of
their own sh Clair wins the mon Grand
Prix to achieve his dream victory in his
home race well done Char Clair it's
mission accomplished Destiny fulfilled
you've got that one
forever we won
it finally
yes
yes yes yes
yes when your home race includes
memories of waiting with your friends to
get on the school bus when he's looking
up at the balcony where he first watched
the Grand Prix that's more than special
that's pure emotion for sh
Clair and the party starts right now for
Monaco's favorite son and even the
prince is getting in on the action
because when one of your own have won
the most famous Grand Prix of the lot
