00:00Here come the lights for one of the great tests in all of sport.
00:04And Formula One is racing on the streets of Monte Carlo.
00:08Good reaction time for Fernando Alonso.
00:10But he didn't have the time to get ahead.
00:11Neither does Ocon.
00:12The top three are as they were.
00:14Alonso had a big snap as he came through San Devote.
00:16Good traction for Lewis Hamilton as he tries to power past Carlos Sainz.
00:20They climb the hill through Beau Rivage in grid order.
00:24No change at the front of the field.
00:26Alonso got a good reaction time.
00:27But he didn't have the Pirelli rubber to out drag Max Verstappen.
00:31All of the changes are at the back of the field.
00:33Where Logan Sargent has moved up a place.
00:35And Hülkenberg has gained two as we go wheel to wheel through there.
00:39And there's contact between Sargent and the Haas.
00:42There in the background of Hülkenberg as they're parked.
00:44Nearly parked up. Nearly stationary at the hairpin.
00:47Nudging each other through the corner.
00:50That was the Haas coming into the back of him just beforehand.
00:53Outbreaking himself.
00:54What was that race?
00:56Head done, head done.
00:58Everybody saw it.
01:02So much contact man.
01:04Bad f***ing box here. Disaster.
01:06Trying to go around the outside of the hairpin.
01:09Doesn't mean it can't be done.
01:11But I've never seen it done.
01:13Sainz has begun now to put the pressure on Ocon.
01:17Can he force an error from one of the stars of qualifying?
01:20Let's push it through these tyres.
01:22He's nearly into the back of him.
01:24And he damages the front wing.
01:26Carlos Sainz talking about pushing Ocon into damaging the tyres.
01:31And he's into the back of the Alpine driver to ruin his race.
01:37No, it was late, late, late.
01:38And there was no way he was ever going to make it down the inside.
01:42There was no space for both of us there, so...
01:44Yeah, copy that.
01:46And here he goes.
01:47Whoa!
01:49Down the inside!
01:50Another Haas attacking Sargent at that corner.
01:54And this time it's Magnussen who finds a clean way by.
01:59And he's just going to be targeted by Lance Stroll next, I'm sure.
02:02That's right as we look back.
02:04As Stroll tries down the inside in a place where you can't overtake, he does overtake.
02:08And he's not the only one.
02:10Barging through at the final corner goes Sergio Perez.
02:14Esteban Ocon is into the pits.
02:16He's hitting his mark on the medium tyres.
02:18We say goodbye to them.
02:18It's slow! It's slow!
02:19And that could cost him.
02:20That could cost Esteban Ocon.
02:22A crucial moment in the race.
02:24That was not the time for a 4.2 second stop.
02:28As we see Stroll moving out of the way...
02:31Through goes one Red Bull.
02:32Through goes another Red Bull.
02:34Perez off the road.
02:35He feels that he was squeezed.
02:36And he throws the elbow.
02:38Wheel-to-wheel contact between Stroll and Perez.
02:41I think Perez needs to give that back.
02:43He jumps across.
02:44He throws the elbow for defence.
02:45Push me off.
02:46Yeah, I saw that.
02:47What the f*** with that?
02:48Is that allowed?
02:51Carlos Sainz makes it into the pits.
02:53Huge pressure moment.
02:54Ferrari deliver what they needed.
02:56That is a good stop.
02:57That is a stop that gives him a chance of scoring.
02:59A third consecutive podium.
03:01Ocon is making his way around the 19th and final corner.
03:04It's Verstappen in the lead.
03:05Then it's Alonso.
03:07And now Sainz is going to try and jump out.
03:09Can he do so?
03:09It's going to be tied across the line.
03:11Ocon has given it absolutely everything.
03:13And Ocon manages to stay ahead.
03:16What the f***?
03:18Exactly what I talked about.
03:19Exactly what I talked about.
03:20The main target there was to cover Hamilton.
03:23Hamilton one second behind.
03:24I don't care about Hamilton.
03:26I was f***ing weak.
03:29Now this is Perez attacking Magnussen ahead and making contact with the rear of the Haas.
03:36Yeah.
03:36Front wing is gone.
03:37He will need to come in.
03:38That was clumsy.
03:40And I don't know if the Haas had an issue.
03:42But Perez just right into the back of him.
03:43He just right tested me.
03:47There are some pockets of rain a few kilometers away from the track with monitoring.
03:53It is all about driver instinct now.
03:55It is all about ability of reading the conditions now.
03:59How intense is the rain?
04:00How much are you prepared to risk?
04:02Max Verstappen has dominated this race.
04:04But now you've immediately got it.
04:06And that's Sainz on the brake.
04:07Sainz trying to find his way by.
04:09He can't make the chicane as he goes past Esteban Ocon.
04:12Ocon, he was being cautious.
04:14Sainz throwing caution to the wind.
04:17And this is going to be so difficult to be on a wet track and slick tires.
04:22The Grand Prix has come alive.
04:24I have to try to sit the slump because my tires are .
04:28Understood, Max.
04:28It might just be survival in that section of track, Max, if the rest of the track is dry.
04:33Take two.
04:34Sainz versus Ocon to the nouvelle chicane.
04:37No way by.
04:40Alonso exiting.
04:41Alonso on the medium tires.
04:42Russell coming to the pits.
04:44Russell is going for intermediate tires.
04:46Russell is going to gamble.
04:48Yep, and there's Hamilton is coming into the box.
04:51Beautiful double stop.
04:52And we have Red Bull out with intermediates as well.
04:55Extraordinary.
04:55Alonso went for dry tires.
04:57Everyone else is gambling for the intermediates.
05:00The tires with the grooves that give you more grip in the wet.
05:02And this is incredible stuff now.
05:06Oh, it's Sainz has gone deep at Mirabeau.
05:09Alonso has pitted for dry tires.
05:12Understood, Max.
05:13We need enters, enters.
05:14Understood, Max.
05:15We are pitting for enters.
05:17Ocon is losing positions as well.
05:19They're struggling to keep it on the road.
05:21This is where he went off.
05:22And just locked up the rear and slid gently.
05:26And a small kiss of the barrier.
05:28Very, very fortunate there.
05:29Wow.
05:30Through goes his teammate to take the place.
05:31Round goes the car.
05:32No traction.
05:33And through goes his teammate.
05:36The race leader comes into the pits to get rid of the medium tires.
05:39And put on the intermediates as he leaves the Grand Prix.
05:43Now this is crucial.
05:44Does the rain continue?
05:46And Alonso will stop again to go onto that intermediate tire.
05:51Russell, Russell going deep.
05:54Oh, and hit by Perez.
05:57So we have a five second time penalty for the rejoin.
06:00Understood.
06:03Verstappen leads.
06:04Alonso has stopped twice.
06:05He comes out.
06:06Ferrari have gambled on medium tires with both cars.
06:09It wasn't the right one.
06:11They come in now to change.
06:12They have to double stack.
06:13But it's Leclerc ahead of Sainz as they make that stop.
06:18Here's Lance Stroll at the hairpin.
06:20So he went to the intermediate tires first.
06:22We were hearing it was Portier.
06:23He retired at Portier because he hit the wall of the hairpin.
06:26Yeah, that was like the engine was still driving on.
06:28It was pushing.
06:29Look at that.
06:30Yeah.
06:30He's got an issue.
06:32It's 16 seconds between Fernando Alonso and Max Verstappen Perez.
06:36He's touched the wall there.
06:37Into the wall.
06:37That's in the chicane.
06:38Yeah, it's a replay.
06:39Oh, that is so close.
06:41Tank slapper.
06:42Has that done any damage to the car?
06:44Fighting it like an octopus through there.
06:47He has indeed.
06:48Logan Sargent.
06:49He doesn't want to do it in the high speed corners.
06:52He's just pulling up in the hairpin there.
06:55This was the move for Lando Norris.
06:58Out of the wheel tracks.
06:59There's just enough dry tarmac to fight away by.
07:03And through goes Lando Norris.
07:06And Piastri is right behind him as well.
07:09The Australian rookie driver.
07:10A champion of Formula 3.
07:11A champion of Formula 2.
07:13Same part of the race track.
07:14Can he get by?
07:15He can.
07:17The Dutch master has produced something special.
07:21In the wet.
07:22In the dry.
07:23Max Verstappen wins the Monaco Grand Prix.
07:27For surely one of his most satisfying victories in Formula 1.
07:30But Alonso upgrades his best finishing position of the season.
07:35Now to second place.
07:37Esteban Ocon with just his third visit to a Formula 1 rostrum.
07:42We have seen a brilliant driving display from most in the field.
07:46And Red Bull are off to celebrate another Monaco victory.
07:50Family Yin Or you founds you can increase men's pro alrededor over the period of priority.
