03:43The story of the Monaco Grand Prix is unlike any other.
03:47Nothing predestined my country, a country half the size of New York's Central Park,
03:51to host the world's greatest Formula One race.
03:56It all began when the leaders of the Monaco Cycling Club decided to become an automobile club.
04:17This new local club wanted to be affiliated with the prestigious Automobile Club de France.
04:24But when the club's young commissioner general, Anthony Nogues, traveled to Paris, place de la Concorde...
04:42His request was rejected.
04:46His request was rejected.
04:59He was acknowledged internationally, but once again, even though we thought we met all the admission criteria, he told us,
05:09No, on the pretext that we didn't have a race on our soil, no, on the pretext that we didn't
05:25have a race on our soil.
05:27— Eh bien, écoutez, pour réduire votre objection, je vous informe que dans un an, un an et demi, vous
05:35verrez une épreuve à Monaco qui étonnera le monde entier.
05:38— Et là, silence.
05:46Après cette annonce extravagante de mon grand-père, en fait, ces messieurs, ils ne savaient pas s'ils pouvaient prendre
05:53ces paroles au sérieux
05:54ou si c'était juste celle d'un illuminé, et lui-même d'ailleurs, il s'est dit sur le
05:58chemin du retour dans le train qu'il était peut-être allé trop loin
06:01parce que, évidemment que c'était un coup de bluff.
06:04Il n'y avait évidemment pas la place à Monaco, qui fait moins de 2 km², de faire un vrai
06:10circuit automobile classique dans les règles de l'art.
06:14Et à son retour en principauté, mon grand-père s'est bien gardé d'en parler à qui que ce
06:19soit au début.
06:22Pour faire le tracé, il avait déterminé quelques critères. Il fallait des axes suffisamment larges.
06:27Il a donc immédiatement écarté les ruelles du Rocher. Il fallait qu'il n'y ait pas de maison des
06:32deux côtés de la route.
06:34Il fallait aussi faire attention à ne pas enfermer des quartiers d'habitation au milieu du circuit.
06:39Et puis, autres difficultés, les rails du tram.
06:46Puis aussi les escaliers, un peu partout, d'ailleurs même sur le port, au niveau du virage du bureau de
06:51tabac,
06:51ils ont dû remplacer l'escalier par un plan incliné.
07:18Scène des votes.
07:30Le Casino
07:32Le Casino
07:38La Station Hairpin
07:49The tunnel
07:50The tobacconist
08:12The monocle circuit was born
08:17But only on paper
08:19The race still had to be organized
08:26Mais ça, c'était pas facile
08:28De convaincre les autorités locales
08:30De trouver l'argent
08:31Il y a eu mille choses
08:32Ils se sont vraiment beaucoup dépensés
08:34Mais ils ont pris quand même tous les risques
08:40Il y avait quand même beaucoup de sceptiques à Monaco
08:43En plus, ça allait coûter une fortune
08:45De construire ce circuit
08:47L'Automobile Club n'avait pas
08:48La surface, l'importance qu'il a aujourd'hui
08:51Et donc il s'est tourné vers René Léon
08:53De la Société des Bains de Mer, la SBM
08:55Qui gère d'ailleurs aujourd'hui encore
08:56Les grands hôtels et surtout le casino de Monte Carlo
09:01René Léon a tout de suite vu l'intérêt
09:03Pour la Société des Bains de Mer
09:04D'aider l'Automobile Club à réaliser le Grand Prix
09:07Parce que ça permettait de faire venir du monde
09:09D'inviter des clients
09:10Et de créer un événement en principauté
09:12Qui aurait rassemblé un peu la jet set de l'époque
09:14Et il a décidé d'aider l'Automobile Club
09:17En construisant le circuit
09:18C'est-à-dire qu'en gros
09:20C'est lui qui a fait toute la voirie, l'asphalte
09:22Il a fourni les bouts de paille
09:24Et les sacs de sable
09:25Enfin, en gros, la réalisation du circuit
09:27C'est la SBM qui l'a financée
09:42While the obstacles seemed insurmountable
09:44The Automobile Club overcame them all
09:47All that remained was to start these mechanical beasts
09:53And let them loose on the streets of the Principality
10:07We'd reached the point of no return
10:09Against all the odds
10:11Was this first race in the city
10:13Going to be a success
10:14Or an utter fiasco
10:18The pressure was terrible
10:20The international press were very skeptical
10:23Some journalists claim that at every lap
10:26Three to four cars would end up in the port
10:401929
10:41La belle époque
10:42Celle des idées folles
10:44Organiser une course de bolide
10:46Dans les rues de la Principauté de Monaco
10:47En pleine ville
10:49Entre la mer et la corniche
10:50Une utopie pour beaucoup
10:52Mais un pari réussi par le fondateur
10:55Anthony Noguès
10:56C'était pas dangereux
10:57C'était très dangereux
10:58Une Bugatti
10:59Ça allait à plus de 200 km heure
11:02Les pilotes étaient assis juste devant
11:04Un réservoir d'essence de 100 litres
11:06Ils étaient assis sur une bombe
11:08Il y avait un côté de Trompe-la-Mort
11:10Il savait que s'il touchait
11:12C'était fini
11:12Il pouvait se faire éjecter de la voiture
11:14Les châssis c'était des échelles
11:16Avec des moteurs surpuissants
11:17Et quatre roues
11:21William se triomphe sur Bugatti
11:25William c'était un anglais
11:26Habitant à Monaco
11:27Et sa voiture donc était bleue
11:29Or le code sportif international
11:32Prévoit que les couleurs des voitures
11:34Doivent correspondre à la nationalité du pélote
11:36Les français les voitures sont bleues
11:38Les italiens elles sont rouges
11:40Mais les anglais elles sont vertes
11:42Donc le brave William
11:43S'a pris un pinceau
11:44Et il a peint la voiture en vert
11:47Mais tout cela a pris du temps
11:49Si bien qu'il n'avait pas eu le temps
11:50De reconnaître le circuit
11:51Et la veille du Grand Prix
11:54A 5h du matin
11:55Quand tout le monde dormait dans la principauté
12:00Il a mis en marche sa Bugatti
12:01Et il a fait une trentaine de tours du circuit
12:03Pour reconnaître la piste
12:05Ce qui n'était pas interdit à l'époque
12:07Et il a gagné
12:13Cette idée de fouille
12:14Ce n'était pas si fouille
12:15Après tout
12:20Ce n'est pas parce que nous sommes petits
12:21Que nous ne pouvons pas faire des choses grandes
12:27La première race dans la ville
12:29C'était un triomphe
12:30Le Grand Prix Monaco
12:31Il a devenu légendeur
12:34Mais l'idée était quand même téméraire
12:37Une course dans la cité
12:38Sans protection aucune
12:40Du public quand même
12:41Parce que c'était toujours intéressant d'avoir passé
12:43Et tout grâce à Dieu
12:45Grâce à Sainte-des-Votes
12:46S'est déroulé parfaitement
12:47A partir de là
12:49M. Noguès et son staff
12:51A pris de l'assurance
12:52Et sur le plan international
12:54On a commencé à marquer des points
13:00Alors en 1931
13:01L'AIACR
13:02L'Association internationale des autos 1000 clubs reconnus
13:05Annonce dans ses textes
13:06Que les Grands Prix
13:07Pour être homologués
13:09Doivent se tenir sur un nombre de tours
13:11Et une durée
13:12Qui nous paraît totalement invraisemblable
13:16Et le Tommy Club Monaco a dit
13:17Non, non, non
13:18Monaco c'est 100 tours
13:20C'est plus de deux heures
13:21C'est largement suffisant
13:23Nous n'irons pas au-delà
13:24Et si vous n'êtes pas d'accord
13:26Nous n'inscrivons pas notre épreuve
13:28A votre championnat
13:31Et l'Association internationale a dit
13:33Bon, dérogation pour Monaco
13:35D'an dernier en année
13:37Jusqu'à aujourd'hui
13:38Nous avons toujours des dérogations
13:42On est très fiers d'avoir été petits
13:44Dans cette affaire
13:45Et quand même
13:46On porte quelque part
13:48Une part d'héritage
13:49Et c'est là où
13:50On est quand même dépositaire
13:51D'une tradition
13:52D'une manière de faire
13:53D'une manière d'être
13:54D'une manière de penser
13:56Que l'on a recueilli
13:57Que l'on a essayé
13:58De pousser encore plus avant
13:59Que ce n'était
14:13In 1931
14:14Louis Chiron
14:15Became the first
14:16Monégas driver
14:17To win a race
14:26In those years
14:27Everything needed to be done
14:29To improve motorsport
14:30Monaco therefore
14:31Sought to innovate
14:33For example
14:35Starting grids
14:37Had been randomly determined
14:39By a draw
14:49Monsieur Caracciola
14:50Cher ami
14:52J'adresse cette lettre
14:54A tous les pilotes
14:55Compte tenu
14:56Des inconvénients
14:57Résultant
14:58De la désignation
15:00Par tirage au sort
15:01De l'ordre des départs
15:02Nous avons décidé
15:04D'attribuer les places
15:05Sur la grille
15:07Selon les temps enregistrés
15:09Au cours des essais
15:12Le conducteur
15:13Ayant effectué
15:14Le tour le plus rapide
15:16Sera placé
15:17À droite
15:17Du premier rang
15:41Le chronométrage
15:43Qui a pris toute son importance
15:44À Monaco
15:45En 1933
15:46A changé
15:47La face
15:48Des courses automobiles
15:49En prenant
15:50Comme référence
15:51Le temps
15:52Et non plus
15:53Seulement
15:53La vitesse
15:54Ou le premier
15:55Qui franchit la ligne
15:56Alors
15:57On se donne
15:58La possibilité
15:59De se dire
15:59Qui a fait le temps
16:00Le plus rapide
16:01Qui a eu
16:02La pointe de vitesse
16:02La plus importante
16:03Et sur quel segment
16:05Du circuit
16:14Les autres circuits
16:15Vont suivre
16:15Parce qu'on se rend compte
16:17Que c'est extrêmement excitant
16:18Cette course au temps
16:22Pour moi
16:22Le tour calife
16:23À Monaco
16:23Vaut tout l'or du monde
16:24C'est vraiment
16:25Quelque chose d'incroyable
16:26En tant que pilote
16:27Et c'est des sensations
16:27Qu'on a seulement à Monaco
16:28En termes de challenge
16:30Pour un pilote
16:30C'est vraiment
16:31Le plus difficile
16:32On n'a pas le droit
16:33À l'erreur
16:34Les murs sont très proches
16:35Et voilà
16:36Il y a vraiment
16:36Une sensation particulière
16:37C'est quelque chose
16:38Qu'on retrouve nulle part ailleurs
16:51On a eu des arrivées
16:52Avec un drapeau
16:53Monégasque
16:54Rouge et blanc
16:55On a eu des arrivées
16:56Avec un drapeau rouge
16:57Noir une année
16:58Et finalement
17:01On a décidé
17:02Peut-être en regardant
17:04Ce qui se passait
17:04Aux Etats-Unis
17:05Et à Indianapolis
17:06D'utiliser un drapeau
17:08Noir et blanc
17:10Tout le monde
17:10Ensuite a utilisé
17:11Le drapeau à Damier
17:12Pour signifier
17:13La fin d'une course
17:38Le drapeau à Damier
17:41A Monaco
17:42C'est un sentiment
17:43C'est un sentiment assez spécial
17:43C'est un peu
17:44Une libération
17:45Parce que Monaco
17:47On sait qu'il peut se passer
17:48Énormément de choses
18:15Aux Etats-Unis
18:16C'est un sentiment de choses
18:26Monaco 1937
18:26Grand Prix de Monaco 1937
18:28Le rugissement des compressors est infernal
18:31L'envolée des incroyables voitures allemandes
18:34qui s'élancent groupées
18:35constitue un sommet qui ne pourra jamais être égalé
18:38Les spectateurs se tiennent les tympans
18:41Le bruit est insoutenable
18:42Du Cap d'Aille à Cap Martin
18:44On croit à une véritable explosion
18:46À telle fois que les autorités s'inquiètent
18:50Trois voitures allemandes terminent sur le podium
19:00La race in the city was interrupted for 11 long years
19:03until 1948

19:40That year, the great Argentine driver Juan Manuel Fangio, unrivaled in his understanding
19:47of racing, avoided the biggest pile-up in Monaco's history.
20:15There were dozens of pilots in this carambolage, and they were literally in the essence.
20:21And one of them told that Fangio, when he arrived, was driving to the brake, but the problem
20:26was that he gave an enormous amount of accelerator.
20:28He didn't call his motor and his peau became a real chalume.
20:35They were all terrified, including Fangio, who saw a spectator on the show.
20:40He was lancé on the track, but he got his cigarette, and Fangio told him that he threw his head
20:47into his legs in his legs, looking at the Megoh tomber in the essence.
20:51But luckily, the Megoh was extinguished.
21:00There didn't have the vapor on the flaque, there was a little air, and he was placed
21:06next to the vapor.
21:07In fact, it was the vapor of essence that he was inflamed.
21:31Rear window, to catch a thief, at this time, Grace Kelly was Hollywood's brightest star.
21:39My mother crossed the Atlantic to marry my father, Prince Regnier, and became Princess
21:44Grace of Monaco.
22:06Which one of us would have been the first one to see the crown, the immense crown, who
22:30I'm always moved by these images.
22:41It was, in a way, a new chapter in the story of the Grand Prix.
22:46The winner's podium changed, taking on the appearance of a red carpet.
22:51Super people come to Monaco, all the superstars, particularly at the time of Princess Grace,
22:58because of her being a very successful movie actress.
23:03She had connections with all the best people.
23:06Everybody came. The Beatles came. The Rolling Stones came.
23:09Rod Stewart came. Elizabeth Taylor, I had come as my guest one year.
23:38In 1965, I was seven years old.
23:42Only then I realized what a race was like.
23:46The noise, the smell. It really was a revelation for me.
23:51Here we are. Look out. That's Graham Hill, the leader, going down the escape route at the chicane.
23:58You can't make mistakes in Monaco. And the chicane is the only place you can make a mistake, usually, and
24:07get off with it.
24:08Jackson Stewart, who took over the lead, spun, and he dropped back in the pack.
24:13That left the two Ferraris. Graham Hill is going after Serdes right now.
24:17Headed down along this short straight and into the Mirabeau turn. He's trying to take him.
24:23Hill's got him. Graham Hill has moved into second place as they go around the railroad station hairpin.
24:30And Graham came back through the field. Looks like he's making his move now, again, at the Mirabeau turn. He's
24:37got him. He's got the bad team. Graham Hill's taking the lead.
24:40That was one of Graham Hill's best races. So, Graham won five times in Monaco. But he did it because
24:48he had a huge amount of experience there.
24:51He was over driving when he shot past the chicane. But he learned by that and he never did it
24:56again.
25:17They went to get him on the road. They found him on something tomorrow.
25:22And he heard with them all over in the boat in theographing.
25:25Tif talent was very long off joining us originally.
25:26Like, can he do that?
25:28But he left his without meaning, however, behind that He's being object heavens all over when he's life told us
25:29that he's not even a stardist.
25:29Went home officials, but like, did he know.
25:41Monaco is also a small friendly town with bars on the circuit, just like Rosie's.
26:13Grand Mill, he was so famous, everyone loved him.
26:20We had a game of fléchettes at the time, and he won every time.
26:32He paid his tournée, but then, attention, he said he paid for the English.
26:40It was for the Britannic, and the others, to get out.
26:44But it was done with such a sympathy.
26:51All the Formula 1 pilots, we met them all.
27:06But in the 60's, the Grammys and everything, it was the celebration.
27:13There were a lot of cards, I remember, at the Paris Hotel, at the Sain Empire,
27:18until the 1's morning, the day of the Grand Prix of Formula 1.
27:21They played cards, and every time they lost, they paid the tournée to everyone.
27:26Oh yeah !
27:30I saw the door of the Paris Hotel, with the pilots who did the competition,
27:37of the one who came out the most quickly, without touching the door.
27:42Grammys arrived to exit through the door three times later.
27:48He had a dose of whiskey, or I don't know what, quite important,
27:51but the next day, he won the Grand Prix.
28:08Three kilometers and 340 meters.
28:12Monaco is the shortest and slowest circuit of the season.
28:18But for most drivers, it is by far the most exhausting.
28:28Lorenzo Bandini was a, what I would call a typical glamorous Italian man.
28:35And the tunnel, you know, why it's the sun, night, sun, more.
28:42Very good, that's good.
28:43Oh.
28:44The tunnel.
28:45Yeah, going into the tunnel, you can't see anywhere else.
28:47The sun and night, and then...
28:51Bandini, c'était un pilote de Formule 1, adulé par les Italiens,
28:55qui était d'ailleurs assez brillant,
28:57qui était un peu sous pression, parce que...
29:00bon, il n'était pas champion du monde,
29:02il fallait absolument qu'il ait des résultats.
29:05For second place, Lorenzo Bandini,
29:07at home is now led, for the past 24 laps,
29:09that's almost always getting close to 50 miles.
29:13Bandini commençait à zigzaguer un peu,
29:16donc on sentait de la fatigue.
29:35Singkat!
29:45Sous-titrage 1
29:49There's a terrible fire, and that is one of the other cars going through.
29:53The race is continuing. There's somebody coming out.
29:56There are firemen stationed around the course here.
30:01Driving through when the car was there in flames,
30:05we knew it was Lorenzo because he was missing in the lap chart.
30:09He was missing in the cars going around the circuit.
30:15At the time, there were things like they were.
30:18We didn't have the way to talk about it.
30:20We realized that we were still returning the cars
30:22by launching a kind of grapple.
30:25We could enter where they were.
30:27With that, we took a chord and returned to the car.
30:30I think there were three or four passengers of 9 kg
30:34and one of 25 kg, but almost close to the jet,
30:37to 150 m from the accident.
30:44That accident was probably one of the nastiest.
30:49It was horrible, there's no other words.
30:51The poor man was shot at the ground like we could,
30:53and it was the commander Bagaglia who commanded the cops,
30:56who ended up opening the last flames of his combination
30:59with his own vests, like the cops at the time.
31:02That's it.
31:08There's a problem.
31:09The bombing of the government is equilibrated by the menes.
31:11The body is destroyed by the visage,
31:12to two hands, to two legs, to two legs, to two thorax.
31:15Il souffre d'une plaie ouverte, mais surtout, il a respiré des vapeurs d'essence, des vapeurs d'essence brûlées.
31:24Et en ce moment, il est à l'hôpital de Monaco où les médecins espèrent encore le sauver.
31:34Je le vois toujours avec, on avait mis des bandages et tout, il était brûlé au visage épouvantable.
31:42Et je le voyais avec les bras, avec les pansements et tout, crier « Foco, Foco, Foco ! »
31:49On lui disait « Mais c'est fini, M. Bandini, il n'y a plus le feu ! »
31:54Il était toujours dans sa voiture avec la vision du feu.
31:58Le lendemain, il est décédé avec sa femme quand on lui a annoncé.
32:03Elle était enceinte et on y a appris, on ne peut pas le sauver.
32:08Malheureusement, les brûlures étaient trop importantes.
32:14Dans ces temps-là, le sport était considérablement plus dangereux.
32:19Si vous étiez un grand prix-drivé,
32:21les chances sont que l'un des trois de nous, nous allions mourir.
32:39Mon père, Prince Rainier, a demandé de tout être fait pour améliorer la sécurité.
32:45Ceci a conduit, parmi autres choses, à la création de la première unité de marshal.
32:49Tout ce qui a guidé mon action, enfin, assez longtemps, c'est l'accident de Bandini.
32:53Il fallait faire quelque chose.
32:54Partant de là, à quoi pouvait-on penser ?
32:57C'était d'amener des gens utiles sur une piste, capables de savoir ce qu'ils avaient à faire.
33:04C'est une petite armée.
33:05Ils sont répartis en commandos.
33:08C'est une notion militaire avec des grades.
33:10Il y a un chef, il y a des adjoints, il y a des inspirants et il y a des
33:13hommes du rang.
33:15C'est un peu, on ne va pas dire une scène de guerre, mais il faut être très, très prudent.
33:22La projection d'un véhicule sur des rails, si on a un pied ou une main sur le rail, on
33:26se fait couper le pied ou la main.
33:28On a une réputation d'être les meilleurs du monde.
33:31Ça fait plaisir, mais il faut le mériter, il faut l'entretenir.
33:34C'est-à-dire que nous avons rendu obligatoires les stages de formation.
33:38C'est simple, et ta main, ici.
33:40Allez, poussez, en avant.
33:43Allez, les gars.
34:08C'est exceptionnel que l'on fasse rouler des voitures de course sur une chaussée urbaine.
34:12Et de fait, on refait chaque année un tiers du circuit, pratiquement.
34:16Ça veut dire que tous les trois ans, on a un circuit refait à neuf.
34:19Personne n'imagine la complexité de l'organisation d'un Grand Prix aujourd'hui,
34:24de partir de zéro et d'être en ordre le jeudi matin pour les premiers essais.
34:30C'est très extraordinaire.
34:33Donc chaque année, en montant et en démontant, on dit « Ah, et ça, si on le montait différemment ?
34:37»
34:38Ce qui nous permet, bien sûr, d'évoluer presque inconsciemment.
34:45En cas de gros accidents d'un véhicule, pour évacuer ce véhicule, nous avons affaire à des grues.
34:50Là aussi, Monaco, précurseur, premier Grand Prix, a installé des grues de pare-d'hôte de la fuite.
34:55Nous, on a été vraiment tellement surpris par moments de voir comment ils arrivaient à dégager une voiture en un
35:01tour, deux tours.
35:02Et c'est un exemple pour tous les autres Grand Prix.
35:10Parce que les contraintes de où c'est placé,
35:13même si je dois dire que les facilities ont été meilleure dans les années,
35:15les facilities sont assez compagnes.
35:17Nous avons des garages assez contraintes.
35:20Toutes les mécaniques travaillent sur les autres.
35:22Quand vous étiez dans le garage, vous avez de voir où vous êtes, parce qu'il y a très peu
35:25de l'espace.
35:26C'est un environnement très difficile, de ce qu'ils ont d'habitude.
35:30Parce qu'en un circuit normal, tout est très bien monté, et beaucoup d'espace.
35:35En Monaco, les fans sont en vous face tout le temps.
35:38Quand vous vous facez à cette challenge, et que vous le faites mieux que quelqu'un d'autre,
35:42vous allez gagner.
35:46A beaucoup de gens ne sont pas vraiment intéressants sur le car.
35:50C'est intéressant pour la partie, pour l'appel à Monaco, vous savez.
36:09C'est un rêve, vous savez.
36:10Quand les gens ont l'échange, on a télévision Monaco, c'est l'amuse.
36:13Tout le 3, sur les filles, 80 mètres, 90 mètres,
36:17sous-de-mètres, une entre 20 mètres.
36:18C'est un rêve.
36:26The 80s was a period of magnificent duels, both on and off the track.
36:33Ayrton Senna was first revealed to the world in Monaco in 1984,
36:38although the Brazilian prodigy didn't have a good enough car to win.
36:47There was a lot of rain, and under the tunnel, it was absolutely sec.
36:51The pilots thought about it, they thought it was not like this, it was at least wet.
36:56And we sent the firefighters to the tunnel to have a straight track of the entrance to the exit.
37:14Ayrton Senna was a young man with a second car in the second zone, the Tollman, and he went to
37:22the seventh line.
37:28Ayrton Senna was an exceptional course, because he doubled his 10 cars in front of him.
37:33There were places where he said that it was impossible to double.
37:36Every time that it rained in Formula 1, everybody was like, yeah, so Ayrton is going to win.
37:41And obviously, his first debut here in Monaco in 1984, it was pouring rain,
37:46and he did a fantastic job overtaking so many good drivers, champions.
37:51And I think he would have won the race if they hadn't stopped it earlier.
37:58Ayrton Senna had decided, with Jackie X at Manet, that they would not be able to be released, because the
38:05conditions were even worse.
38:08It's true that it was more and more, it became more drierable.
38:13And it's true that I made a sign, a tour avant.
38:22I didn't even see him lifting his finger, so it was even more simple.
38:25At a moment, I estimated that this track was no longer practicable.
38:29And I stopped the course.
38:30And I think I did well.
38:41That's true.
38:47The Monaco Grand Prix seems unfaltering, unshakable.
38:52Yet, on several occasions, it has almost disappeared.
38:57First of all, with the evolution of the cars.
39:23The Monaco Grand Prix is part of the F1 World Championship.
39:26And the relationships between the Automobile Club de Monaco and F1 bosses have not always been a smooth ride.
39:33There were wars of interest, there were wars of money.
39:36How much money pay a Grand Prix?
39:38Why Monaco pay more?
39:39Why Monaco pay less?
39:40There was a conflict with the President of the French Federation, Jean-Marie Balestre.
39:46He had all the FIA in the hands.
39:48He had no problem without the political plan to vote.
39:53And Monaco was in the border of exclusion.
39:57Balestre had a great idea, that the FIA would be the rights of the TV rights.
40:01If you touch the port, it's the only place where you can't touch it.
40:05And there, it was very bad.
40:10Jean-Marie Balestre, the President of the F1 World Championship,
40:12wants to have some authority.
40:14But he is still a bit teleguided by Ecclestone.
40:17Because Monaco was the only Grand Prix at the time
40:19who still had the rights of television television.
40:23Or, the TV rights were really becoming the financial financial model
40:28of the F1 model,
40:30which was under control of Ecclestone.
40:35And finally, the CEO of Philip Morris Europe,
40:39Alerdo Guzzi,
40:40who hit the end of the recreation.
40:43Because for all the sponsors,
40:45the F1 without Monaco was just impensable.
40:49He gave orders to the security guard of the building
40:52of the Philip Morris International
40:54to close the doors.
40:56He said,
40:56he said,
40:56he said,
40:57he said,
40:58until the time,
40:58you're going to get a close agreement.
41:10The long time it was able to have a close agreement
41:16to come to mind
41:16if he got a close agreement
41:20by the F1 World Championship.
41:20And the time it was close,
41:21it's time for that.
41:26And when I met Presidentheimer's office,
41:27it's time for the F1 world.
41:34The sport regained its rights, and in 87 the champagne also flowed for Ertin Senna's first victory.
41:42He had this joke to throw champagne, water, anything, you know, like it's a fun that we have in the
41:50family.
41:51And he decided to shower the prince and the princess, and so it was crazy.
41:56The next year, he got a letter saying that he couldn't, if he won, he couldn't, you know, shower the
42:02champagne on anyone, you know, in the podium.
42:20In 88, here in Monaco, he felt like he was above his concentration level, and he was just lapping, lapping,
42:29lapping.
42:49He was in a different dimension, really. And then when he tried to go back, that's when he hit the
42:55car.
42:55Ertin Senna will not win. Ertin Senna will not win.
42:58He was really pissed off, because it would have been a very great win for him.
43:02Ertin Senna, with 55 seconds in advance, Ertin Senna has used his pneus up to the cord.
43:07Ertin Senna went directly to his house. He used to live here. And it was funny because he didn't have
43:12the key, obviously, because he was, you know, in his racing overalls.
43:16And then her, his maid, which is a Portuguese woman, she's like, fantastic. She was like, someone hit, you know,
43:23knocking on the door, knocking on the door.
43:25And then he's like, who is that? And then suddenly, she opens the door, and he's like, what are you
43:29doing here? So it was a funny story, yeah.
43:41Among the many drivers who've made their mark on the Grand Prix, the Kaiser, Michael Schumacher.
43:46Well, Schumacher, Schumacher, on the F1, he left a pretty exceptional goal, in terms of the ballpark, among other things.
44:04So, at Monaco, it's five victories.
44:13When I was the captain of Ferrari, there was a special expectation at Monaco.
44:18We know very well that winning at Monaco is different.
44:22It's more gratifying than winning another Grand Prix, Formula 1.
44:27And that's the legend that held this one.
44:34Well, in 2006, his qualifications, Michael, he does the ball, three, four minutes to the end.
44:41He knows that Alonzo is behind him.
44:43And unfortunately, Michael has a bad reflex.
44:45He's lost voluntarily, seems to be, on the freinage of the Rascas.
44:49But in the attendant, it means a drapeau jaune, and the session is bouclé.
44:52So, it really made a scandal.
45:01It's not correct.
45:03Someone who is a champion of the world, it's a spectacle that we really don't want to see in Formula
45:081.
45:08And I hope the Federation will do something.
45:11It was incorrect.
45:13Because Michael has done the time, and that's the top of the car.
45:17He's not top of the car, he's parking the car in the Rascas.
45:22Malheureusement, it was bad at the moment where he was disqualified from this pole,
45:29and is part of the last line.
45:31And that's perhaps what we cost the world champion in 2006.
45:51I was in the Grand Prix de Monaco in 2008.
45:55It was the beginning of my pregnancy for our little boy.
45:59And I'm in the stands Red Bull.
46:04And I have the listeners to hear the conversation between David and his engineer.
46:09And then I have a TV screen face to me, which retransmets the course in direct.
46:14And immediately, on the TV screen, we see a free route, which is walking through the circuit.
46:21David?
46:24David?
46:25Are you okay?
46:26What does the game have happened?
46:27David doesn't answer because it has maybe been seconds for my time to take long minutes.
46:33I turned them forward to the engineers to writer me to decide what happened.
46:37And they turned down the視 Пос
46:39because he couldn't reassure me because he didn't have any news about David.
46:44And that day, it was really something very special.
47:21In 2010, there was a rope between Ecclestone and the ACM.
47:26The position of Monaco, the most prestigious, the incontournable,
47:30a priori indéboulonnable because there was such a demand.
47:34So Ecclestone was never really in position of force.
47:38He expressed the fact that he could pass from Monaco to the future.
47:45I don't remember saying that, but I probably did.
47:50In fact, I'm sure it did.
47:53Because we were talking about finance.
47:55It's in English.
47:58It's difficult for the new contract.
48:02And Boehrie said, I could pass from the F1.
48:05Monaco could pass from the F1.
48:06Well, for example, with the IndyCar, the formule 1, American.
48:11It was from the level...
48:13I could pass from Monaco.
48:16The IndyCar, it was nothing to do.
48:17It was part of the game to intoxicate the other.
48:21But IndyCar in Monaco, it doesn't hold the road.
48:23It's in this sense that I said, it was nothing to do.
48:27Because the IndyCar people believed.
48:50They couldn't do it with Monaco.
48:53I knew we couldn't do it without Monaco.
48:56but I wanted to get a few more dollars if I could I can't imagine Formula One without Monaco
49:06I can say that quite happily now because I'm not having to negotiate a contract with them
49:13actually what I did say to the prince in the first place that we could race
49:20and would race in Monaco without any payment but please don't try
49:40the drivers also can't imagine F1 without Monaco
49:46a large number of them live here in the principality
49:50several have even grown up here
49:56for me it's so special it's my home it's my home and it's the most legendary motor race in the
50:02world
50:06I grew up on these streets here and Senna was driving Schumacher was driving
50:12Hackenden was driving and suddenly I'm dominating this place like unbelievable
50:20the pilotes veulent gagner Monaco parce que c'est pas tant la performance de la voiture que la précision du
50:25pilote
50:26et c'est pour ça qu'ils veulent gagner ici pour montrer à quel point ce sont de très bons
50:30pilotes
50:51c'est le seul endroit où on est comme dans un stade c'est le seul endroit où on est
50:56proche des gens où on voit les gens
50:59je me rappelle en tout cas être dans le public quand j'étais quand j'étais plus petit en regardant
51:04mes premiers Grand Prix
51:06et voilà j'avais la chair de poule à chaque fois qu'il y avait une Formule 1 qui passait
51:09en rêvant un jour d'être
51:11d'être sur la grille pour prendre mon premier Grand Prix et voilà ce jour-là est arrivé
51:17C'est pas juste le challenge, c'est la histoire et en many ways Monaco est Formule 1
51:30je m'
52:32A sophisticated environment, wild beasts unleashed in a city.
52:38And that's the magic behind this unique Grand Prix.
52:46The Monaco Grand Prix, the legend continues.
53:20The Monaco Grand Prix, the legend continues.
53:20In an hour, an hour and a half, you will see an important event that will be the world's world.
54:06The Monaco Grand Prix, the legend continues.
54:37The Monaco Grand Prix, the legend continues.
54:37The Monaco Grand Prix, the legend continues.
54:41The Monaco Grand Prix, the legend continues.
