00:00I take your point when it comes to qualifying they seem to be the calmest drivers at the moment
00:04but Lando Norris is a driver who has paced we know he has paced that Sauber's going to have
00:09to wait quite frankly it's time for a queue here at the moment but we know Lando's got
00:15single lap pace it just kind of needs to deliver it this weekend just he does he does this is a
00:20high pressure situation for him because obviously he's he's taken some good points out of Moscow the
00:25last couple of races but some of it was down to getting a little bit lucky I would have to say
00:29with the safety car but no we need to see something more from from Lando in qualifying I think here
00:34recognize that you know what the fans oh he's touched about it has gone into the barrier on the
00:41entry into the swimming pool chicane and you heard the noise before you saw the car and that is a red
00:48flag understandably uh well we waited about 10 minutes for the red flag in FP1 we've waited seven
00:55minutes for the red flag in FP2 that is a typical Monaco kind of accident Jenson Barton where you're just
01:03pushing trying to find that extra little bit of margin and you either get it right or in that case
01:09you get it a bit scrappy yeah he did and that's uh oh that's a hefty hit on the rear end that's
01:14probably he's so angry with himself um I mean the the biggest issue is should I try to bring it yes
01:22yes yes you know these cars are big now and you it's so difficult to not touch a wall but the apex
01:32ones are always the worst because you bounce off it really hard just missed it with the front left
01:38didn't miss it with the rear I think he was a bit unsettled coming in because watching him when
01:43we had the onboard camera or the sorry front facing camera he was on the curb on the right hand side
01:48which you don't want to be really and I think that's it's upset the car a little bit on turning
01:52he's just misjudged it a bit they didn't flinch I was just about to say that those marshals there
02:00did not move a muscle when Isaac Hadja hit the barrier bravo wow ice in their veins that was
02:09that's impressive yeah more impressive than his car control stop hitting the other barrier there
02:14yeah good point his Lando Norris across the line goes second fastest 88 milliseconds between himself
02:20and Max Verstappen but Oscar Piastri has got the fastest middle sector and as Hulkenberg goes seventh
02:26Piastri goes to the top and he's put a big distance between himself and Max Verstappen the man who was
02:32fastest in FP1 think about the go fastest here in FP2 see all the last sectors like it's all slow
02:38pretty much half a second clear of Oscar Piastri they'll be standing in the grandstands again as Oscar
02:46Piastri goes into the barrier at Sandovats where often drivers lock up and do a little shimmy to the
02:54left to take the escape route that didn't happen for Piastri second red flag of this session and
03:01he's lost a front wing as you can see he's gonna have to go around the whole lap without one now he's
03:05also lost a set of tyres Oscar are you okay yes bring the car back very carefully there are Monaco accidents and
03:16there are Monaco accidents and that is a fairly atypical one isn't it's such a difficult one because at one moment in time you have to decide
03:24do I go left down the runoff area or can I make it and it's just a little bit too late he was thinking
03:30about going left but he was going in too hot how do you continue to go left car would have spun round
03:37yeah the point that he locked up at that stage you're then sliding you know you haven't got steering
03:45anymore you're just steering one way so for him to have come off the brake he would have just had an
03:50impact at a higher speed and taken off a corner probably yeah I had to do the Monaco tribute helmet
03:55here fair enough rather than save it for Brazil
03:57Max Verstappen
03:59Nate I believe all these guys so dangerous
04:06I know it's really practice but for me that's just unacceptable that kind of
04:11impeding it's so dangerous in that swimming pool
04:13I would say one in 20 cars that are coming through here are missing the chicane the nouvelle chicane
04:23I hate calling it turn 10 because it's way better than that so a lot of action and there goes the Mercedes to prove the point
04:31there goes the LP to prove another point
04:34trying to find some clear track oh a bit of debris on the track
04:36Charles Leclerc said there was a bit of debris not for long
04:38in my front wing I should have said yeah that that needs to be just removed a little bit
04:44Isaac Hadja by the way is back on track Oscar Piastri is back on track
04:48here's Esteban Ocon going through the swimming pool chicane
04:51yeah he went a bit deep through the first part didn't he
04:54yeah what is he doing
04:55well to be honest I thought he took a little bit of curb there
05:02and then obviously there was a Red Bull backing up to try and make a gap in front of him
05:07oh and he actually hit the wall that was uh yeah and the thing is he's getting in the lap and going
05:14bang first lap with the tire which puts him in good stead because when we get to qualifying
05:18it won't be the third or fifth lap especially when you get through q2 into q3 it's gonna be bang
05:23getting it done on lap one and he's got the confidence to do that whereas other people have
05:27to find that confidence I don't know if hustling is a verb but that was really hustling from
05:32charles mercedes are currently close the rear kicked out of line coffee the first part of the
05:40swimming pool he caught it but I think he touched the wall there might have scraped it that's the second
05:45run those two curves you can see that you can hear it that that the vibration is just yeah that was a lot of
05:59so distracting coming through there that time I can smell the floor of the car burning there's a bump there you can see where the
06:07floors of the cars are hitting the racetrack maybe another soft tie although did they do their runs a little bit
06:12earlier uh and therefore uh you won't see them in the top five because the track hadn't evolved by that
06:17we've got a race on our hands lawson behind hamilton q radio message yeah guys look loose i don't know
06:27yeah traffic paradise there
06:33traffic paradise he gets past uh hamilton eventually uh this is uh charles leclerc on routes to the first corner
06:41oh he snatched the front and that but still made the apex and he just a little bit of under rotation
06:48then he actually turned in more when he locked the front he actually turned more to make sure he made the
06:54corner uh this is just hazarding a little bit of a guess but if you were towards the back end of the
06:59field taking that early stop exactly what you said that one may be a good thing to do because you get a free
07:04pit stop you can probably close back into the field i'd much rather be a fifth to tenth than i would be
07:0911th to 13th if that helps well yeah no fair enough on that one uh james we're gonna have to leave it
07:14there because isaac had just having a real a real time of it we'll speak to you again tomorrow thanks
07:19a lot speak soon has he hit the barrier again there rear left again quite hard yeah turn one i'm guessing
07:25because it was uh casino square we first saw the uh the barrier covering uh hanging off the car man i
07:33am so stupid i think i'm just dumb he got about half an hour on track time didn't he he did that we're
07:41just seeing a replay now of what happened in turn one back end steps out and you heard the whack and then
07:48he picked up some he picked up the cover of some of the advertising down there
07:55too close too close we'll just say hit it the staffer down the staff and down there
08:01but the cards are going in reverse
08:05it's been a tough day for red bull hasn't it 10th and 11th when the the junior team is is further up the road
08:14we've seen this in the past though where we've seen the racing bulls on a higher engine mode on the
08:19fridays and then inevitably qualifying that gets swapped around so let's see how that unfolds but
08:25ferrari is a big story even though by the way oscar piastri now we miss that he's only 38 thousands
08:31behind there's been plenty of yellow and red flags blue and white flying in this session oh he's got
08:37something hanging off under his car yeah that's rubber no it's not that's that that's it's a blue
08:45tape snake happy birthday in advance and talking of gabriel bortoletto here he is
08:50oh i just kissed it there yeah on the right here we go
08:56that's fine that could be the way to do it and then he took a couple of stabs at the apex you see
09:04and monaco the lights will be switched on and the parties will start the action on the track for f1
09:10done for the day what a day for charlotte claire fastest in fp1 and fastest in fp2 oscar piastri just
09:18about four hundredths of a second behind leclair in second lewis hamilton making a ferrari one three
09:24lando norris making it a mclaren two four and then the two leading red bull cars were the racing bulls
09:30liam lawson and isaac hadja alonzo albon antonelli and verstappen completing the top ten franco colopinto
09:37as he was this morning slow as he was earlier slowest driver lance stroll didn't get a great lap in
09:44in fp1 because of the accident with charlotte claire and he picked up a one place grid penalty as a result
09:51of that ollie behrman's going to see the stewards because of a red flag infringement and that is your
09:56practice done for today time for monaco to go and party
