00:03I wanna let my hair down
00:05While I'm staring down your face
00:07Wanna go till the lights out
00:09Take a ride back to my place
00:11You watch your mind
00:12If you don't know what this is
00:15I tell them one by one
00:16Some one by one
00:18Twist my wrist
00:19Eyes like this, eyes like this
00:21Eyes on me, watch my back
00:22Just like this, care for the night
00:25Just keep watching
00:29Just keep watching
00:30Something's all right
00:32Just keep watching
00:36Just keep watching
00:37Just keep watching
00:40Just keep watching
00:46Give it to me, give it to me
00:48Give it to me, give it to me
00:50Give it to me, give it to me
00:53Give it to me, give it to me
00:53Give it to me, give it to me
00:56I shake up the room
00:58Yellow kicks like Uma Thurman
01:00Only drive rips if they dash the German
01:02Sex so hard, call me the rat
01:05Blue supreme mom sleep, call me Spock
01:07Doing that, funny suckers like Michael Stubb
01:09Give it to me
01:10Give it to me
01:11Give it to me
01:14Give it to me
01:15Give it to me
01:16Give it to me
01:17Give it to me
01:18Give it to me
01:22Monaco
01:23Yeah baby
01:29Welcome, welcome, welcome
01:30To Monaco, the sun is just
01:32Dipping below the
01:34The hills behind
01:36Or mountains behind Monaco
01:38Just past quarter past six
01:40Here, and as evening
01:42Takes over, it's time for us to
01:44Reflect on a busy day
01:46Out on track there, we'll do that with the help
01:48Of 2009 world champion
01:50Jenson Button and Bernie Collins
01:53Interesting, interesting day
01:54Ferrari will be happy, won't they?
01:56Yeah, I think Ferrari will be happy
01:57I think there's quite a few people out there that have got good laps on the board
02:00I think Ferrari and Audi are probably my two stand out from that session
02:03Yeah, I totally agree
02:05Good to see Max up there, isn't it?
02:06Fighting amongst them
02:08But yeah, the stand out for me would probably be
02:11The McLaren doesn't seem it's quite there
02:13But the Audi is competitive
02:15Yeah, I think that's good from them
02:17So yeah
02:18And Max Verstappen
02:19Hot on the heels on the softs
02:21Watch out for him, never rule Max Verstappen out
02:23Well, this is a driver's track, isn't it?
02:25I think that, you know, it's about
02:27Getting the lap together and not making mistakes
02:29And we talk about Max so often
02:31And these things where he can make the difference
02:33You know, Japan's another good example
02:35We're often through the high-speed section
02:36Max has got a pole out of a car that maybe someone else wouldn't
02:41And this is one of those tracks, I would argue
02:42Yeah, I also don't think you can take anything away from Lewis and Charles
02:45These guys are pushing
02:47When you're out on track, you've been out on track watching
02:50I mean, it's millimeters to the barriers and sometimes kissing them
02:53And it's impressive to see how hard they are pushing
02:56And it's only FP2
02:57Charles Quickest in the only practice session
02:59Lewis Hamilton in the second practice session
03:01But that's all
03:02We're going to come on to that
03:03We'll sum up the date shortly
03:04But because it's evening is taking over
03:06And the mood changes here at night, doesn't it?
03:09I mean, we know that
03:10So let's take you around, Monaco
03:11And show you about a bit
03:12Because this is the...
03:14Yeah, I change at night
03:16It's a different way
03:17You've got to be careful
03:17Be careful now
03:18Be careful now
03:19I've never been on here before
03:21Have you?
03:22Yeah, yeah, yeah
03:23Coming on here everywhere
03:24I've never...
03:25In a lonely position
03:26In a lonely position
03:27In a lonely position
03:28In a team
03:28You're not allowed on the energy
03:29You're a rival team, aren't you?
03:31Yeah, exactly
03:31Rivals using a strong word
03:33However, now you're part of us
03:35Now you're a creative
03:36Not an engineer anymore
03:37So you're allowed to get on here
03:38I can do these sorts of things
03:39It feels wrong
03:40Did you say that Bernie's creative?
03:42She's a creative
03:42When you become a team
03:44Probably more creative
03:44Whatever, you're a creative
03:45De facto
03:46Okay, so over here
03:49Over here
03:50If...
03:51If...
03:51If fruits you think
03:54There's plenty here on offer
03:56This is one of many bars on the energy station
03:58I mean, you pay top whack to be on here
04:00But this is...
04:00I mean, it's quite...
04:01They float this in
04:02It's a magnificent
04:04Magnificent structure
04:05And it's been here as long as we've been here
04:07But, yeah
04:08I mean, it's quite a logistical operation
04:10Whilst everybody else is parking trucks, by the way
04:12In about three different countries
04:14I think they're doing that
04:15If you...
04:16If you include Monaco, Italy
04:17And France
04:18And logistically
04:19Having to move them in
04:20And get all of the motorhomes into the paddock
04:22Which is alongside
04:22It's a huge operation
04:24Whereas this one
04:25It just takes...
04:26Uses the suit
04:27Yeah, I don't think they're famous for their fruit
04:29It was...
04:30I think it...
04:31You know, the experience on it
04:32Is pretty amazing, isn't it?
04:33You know, music
04:34They have stunts going on
04:36They've obviously got the swimming pool upstairs
04:38Which we're not allowed to go near
04:39No, we are
04:40We can't go in it
04:41But we can go near it
04:42Oh, we are going up?
04:42Yeah, we're going up
04:43Fantastic
04:45So, yeah, there's...
04:46I'm not going in there
04:47I'm not going up
04:47My producer's telling me I'm going into the pool
04:49I'm not going to the pool, Tommy
04:50Well, I think this station gets bigger every year, no?
04:52This seems like bigger than it's been what I remember from the past
04:55It does
04:56And it's...
04:56Yeah, it's busier and busier
04:57Tonight is the media drinks evening
05:00Which we are invited to
05:01But I'm not sure we're coming
05:03But they've got the big stage here
05:04Viewing platform
05:06Viewing area
05:06For everyone to watch qualifying and the race
05:09And all of the practice sessions
05:10And then, yeah, if you fancy
05:13And you're not holding expensive microphones
05:15Yeah, we could go in
05:17Go in for a dip
05:18I'm gonna...
05:18Can we assess the water temperature?
05:20Are we allowed to do that?
05:21No one's allowed to push me in, right?
05:23This is on TV
05:23Someone will see
05:24No, no, that's what you do
05:26When you're on TV
05:27No, no, no, no
05:29No, no, no
05:29No, no, no
05:31It's quite warm
05:33It's quite warm actually
05:34It's good
05:35Good
05:36They're not eating the pool where we are
05:37Yeah, that's...
05:39I mean, it's a great...
05:40You know, there's DJs up here
05:41I mean, this is the home, by the way
05:43For the racing balls
05:44And Red Bull as well
05:46And it's...
05:46Yeah, there's some...
05:47What we're going to do a little bit later as well
05:48Is take you round some of the other ones
05:50Because McLaren
05:51Theirs was 19 years old
05:53That's just been replaced at vast expense
05:55Then there's Audis down the bottom
05:57There's...
05:57There's Alpine's which is...
05:58Is relatively new
05:59So we'll take you on a guided tour
06:01A bit later on
06:02But yeah, I mean, that's it
06:03Red Bull's chances
06:04What about...
06:05What about racing balls chances?
06:07This weekend
06:08Pierre Gasly is the best
06:09The rest outside of
06:10Those in the top four teams
06:11In the championship
06:13Pierre Gasly is, yeah
06:15In the...
06:15In the drivers championship
06:17Okay, no, no
06:17But you were talking about the junior team
06:19I was...
06:20I was confused
06:21I'm sorry
06:21Your race is for Alpine
06:22I'm moving it on to Pierre Gasly
06:24Yeah, but...
06:25Who used to be, of course
06:26Yeah
06:27I wonder if he has more steering lock
06:29Than the racing balls drivers did
06:30Did you see that at the hairpin?
06:32Yeah, yeah, yeah
06:32I don't know if they rectified that issue
06:33Yeah, I don't know
06:34Because I think it's worth explaining
06:36Sometimes teams bring new steering locks here
06:38Because you need to get round the hairpin at Monaco
06:40And there's a difference between getting around the hairpin and qualifying
06:43On your...
06:44Your ideal...
06:47Curvature
06:47And then two of you getting round and fighting on a lap one
06:50Yeah
06:51So lap one needs a very different steering lock to everywhere else
06:54Exactly, but Pierre Gasly did really well as well
06:55He did, yeah
06:56I just totally forgot what team he was in
06:59But that's fair enough
06:59You caught me out
07:00This is the...
07:01This is the...
07:02The DJ...
07:04What time are you playing till this evening?
07:06What time do you play till this evening?
07:08Until...
07:08Seven
07:09Oh
07:10It's gonna be later than that
07:11Oh, that'll be it
07:11Okay, well...
07:12There's a little catering area
07:14We'll still be on air
07:14But I think they're going till a little bit later on this evening
07:1712 o'clock in the evening
07:18Right, let's wrap up the day then, shall we?
07:20With the help of Anthony and Crofty at the Skypad
07:24Gents
07:25Thank you, Simon
07:26I'm sure there's a space on the decks for you
07:28On the decks a little bit later on
07:29But we'll leave you to your pineapples for now
07:31And we'll talk about FP1 and FP2
07:33Because there was some bananas action going on tonight
07:36I mean, it's what you expect here in Monaco, isn't it?
07:39Lots of track action
07:41And...
07:41But it started off, FP1
07:43These glorious sights
07:44Of what a spectacular place
07:46To hold a Grand Prix
07:47It always blows my mind, this place
07:49Especially if you live here
07:50And you were born here
07:51And you've won here
07:52One here, yeah
07:52Charles Leclerc
07:52Same man
07:53And a new contract extension for him
07:55And the first thing he did was escape
07:57With a little lock-up
07:58Into the escape road
08:00Better things were to come a little later on
08:02This is Liam Lawson
08:03Struggling to get round the hairpin
08:05The racing bulls complaining of not having enough lock
08:08We haven't seen that as the day progressed
08:10But yeah, it was a big concern
08:11Leclerc getting very close
08:13Through the exit of the Nouvelle Chicane
08:15I disagree, millimetre perfect
08:17Come on, Ants
08:18Millimetre perfect, very close
08:18Big lock-up from Lewis Hamilton
08:19He's heading to the chapel at Sandoval
08:21But there's plenty of room to spin around
08:22And get back on track
08:23On board now
08:24Orlando Norris
08:25Good job that kerb has been reduced
08:28From last year
08:29Because otherwise he'd have been in the barrier
08:30Isaac Hadja sadly couldn't escape it
08:33Yeah, so something was going on with this corner
08:35On the exit of the swimming pool
08:37Drivers starting to push the envelope of grip
08:39And Hadja just pushing that little bit too hard
08:42That snap of oversteer came a bit too late for him
08:45And the car heavily into the barriers
08:47But the team did an incredible job
08:49To turn that car around in time
08:51To see some laps in FP2
08:53He lost a lot of time though
08:54And whilst he was walking back
08:55Isaac Hadja to the garage
08:57Charles Leclerc was going fastest
08:59The man who was quickest in FP1 last year
09:01For Ferrari here
09:01Did it again here today
09:03This is Oscar Piastri behind the racing bulls
09:07Arvid Lindblad getting in his way
09:09He got a warning for that
09:10And this is Liam Lawson
09:12With a bigger bang on the arm curve
09:14Yeah, he had almost the same moment that Lando did
09:17But that moment here from Fernando Alonso
09:20Was not driver error
09:21That was something going on
09:22With the rear brakes grabbing
09:24That momentarily got him sideways
09:26And put him into the barrier
09:27That could have been a bigger one for him
09:29Then Lawson just goes through the red light
09:31He couldn't react to it in time at the end of session
09:34And got away without getting a penalty
09:36Yeah, absolutely no penalty applied to him
09:38Charles Leclerc had a penalty of sorts
09:42We've been late for the press conference on Thursday
09:44But he was very much on time today
09:46A little pre-session get together
09:49Between two old McLaren drivers
09:51Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button
09:52And now George Russell giving in everything
09:55Through the swimming pool chicane
09:57Liam Lawson encountering traffic
09:59Just where you really don't need it
10:00And he banged the wall as well
10:02Did well to escape with no damage to his car on that
10:05This is Lando Norris
10:06Have a listen
10:08Electrics
10:08Power
10:09Gone
10:10Battery failure
10:11We think
10:11And that's the reigning world champion
10:14And last year's winner
10:15Out of the session early on
10:17Yeah, that's really going to hurt Lando's progression
10:19Through this weekend
10:20But it's not over yet
10:21They're not going to go down without a fight
10:23As the two Ferrari drivers begin a fighting
10:25For tooth and nail
10:27Every millimetre of the way
10:30Around this two-mile circuit
10:32Trading fastest lap times throughout
10:34It was great to watch
10:35It certainly was
10:36It was Hamilton on top
10:37In the afternoon session
10:39Charles Leclerc on top of the first session
10:41And too much on top of the barrier
10:43Franco Colapinto
10:44I think the Marshall summed up everyone's reaction to that
10:47That was a little bit of damage
10:49I think to front suspension and rear
10:51And this from the front right brake
10:54On fire with Sergio Perez stopping early
10:56Yeah, Sergio using all of his experience there
10:59To park the car
11:00Not try and limp home back to the pits
11:02As he was instructed first of all
11:04And a shame to see Cadillac out
11:06But only three minutes to the end of the session
11:08And this guy here on screen ended on top
11:11Off the back of his best Grand Prix result
11:13As a Ferrari driver
11:14Lewis Hamilton
11:15Quickest man on track today
11:18Well, George, talk to me about your day
11:20We expected Ferrari to be fast
11:22But how was it for you in the Mercedes?
11:24Yeah, we expected Ferrari to be the guys to beat
11:27A lot of people thought that was just chat
11:28But clearly they are the team to beat
11:31And I think Red Bull have also been a bit of a surprise for us
11:34We knew out of the races so far
11:37This was going to be our most challenging
11:40It's probably been slightly more challenging than we would have hoped
11:43But we did make some good improvements from FP1 into FP2
11:46We need to make the same step again overnight
11:48And I don't think we nailed it today
11:49So there is room to improve
11:51But definitely Ferrari are the team
11:530.379 seconds off the leading pace of Lewis Hamilton
11:58Are you clear in your mind as to the direction you need to take overnight
12:01To be in the fight for pole tomorrow?
12:04I've got to be honest
12:05The trends that we see with Ferrari every year here
12:08And on street tracks
12:09And what we've seen today
12:10Have been there for probably ten years to be honest
12:14I think every car has like an inherent DNA
12:19And their inherent DNA
12:21Especially on the mechanical side of the car
12:23Clearly works on the street tracks
12:25Especially when there is a lot of warp in the corners
12:27The corners dropping away
12:29We are doing everything we can to try and make those improvements
12:32But as I said I do think we can close the gap
12:35If we can over commit
12:37I'm not sure
12:37Good luck
12:38Thank you George
12:40He's keeping it cool isn't he Jensen
12:42As he needs to do
12:43Because how much will he be suffering inside
12:46After you know four losses to his teammate
12:47Or four victories
12:48Whichever way you want to say
12:49For Kimi Antonelli on the spin
12:50I think there's two ways of looking at it
12:52I think he has gotten lucky with issues
12:54And I think he still understands how good he is
12:57It's not been his speed that's been the issue
12:59You know he was leading the race
13:00When he had the failure at the last race
13:02So he'll just be frustrated that the results haven't come for him
13:05And then here the car isn't working so well is it
13:08So you know he's still P4
13:10But it's not where he wants to be
13:12To start taking big points off his teammate
13:13Might be tricky though for Kimi to make it five in a row
13:16On the evidence that we see today
13:17Yeah exactly
13:18But I think you know like Jensen says
13:20The Mercedes guys
13:21They'll know where they expected their car to be
13:24Free weekend
13:25So fourth and fifth
13:26Although we're discussing it
13:27Maybe not a surprise in the engineering office back there
13:30They'll be spending a lot of time
13:31I've spoken about it
13:32A lot about it in commentary
13:33Go through it tonight
13:34Figure out what they can learn
13:35Both drivers will be looking at the last time of the other
13:37And seeing where can they improve
13:39A little bit here
13:40A little bit there
13:40So Kimi will be building up to it
13:42Okay
13:44He's a catcher
13:45Talking of building into things
13:46That's what you have to do around here Monica
13:47Is it get a rhythm over the weekend
13:49But it didn't start so well in FP1
13:52For me
13:53Because he went in at the exit of the swimming pool
13:55And that was a big rebuild job to the front of his car
13:59But
14:00He's still
14:01He's a long way off his teammate at the moment
14:03Almost
14:03A second
14:07And he had those two penalties didn't he
14:09In Montreal
14:10Last
14:10Last time out
14:11So he'll need a clean weekend
14:12Or try and have a clean weekend from here
14:14Let's get his thoughts
14:15After a difficult day
14:18It's like I felt for you this morning
14:19It looked like you were given plenty of space
14:21And it just caught you out
14:23Firstly
14:23Just talk me through that session
14:24And when you lost the car in the morning
14:26Yeah
14:27I mean it was going pretty okay
14:30Actually I think I was on
14:32On good laps
14:33And
14:34Gaining confidence
14:35And
14:36It's when
14:37I gained that confidence
14:38I had that moment
14:42It really caught me off guard
14:43So
14:43Really didn't expect to lose it here
14:46Also
14:47It's not a crash you often see here
14:49Losing the rear like that
14:50So
14:50So
14:51I was surprised
14:52And
14:54Yeah definitely a tough one
14:55Great work obviously by the team
14:57To get you back out
14:57And actually
14:58With the laps you got
14:59You looked decent out there
15:00So what was the feel for the car then?
15:03Yeah I
15:03Tried to
15:05Build the confidence back again
15:07Really took no risks
15:09And lap by lap
15:10Just
15:11Exploring a bit more
15:12And
15:13It took me a minute to get there
15:14And there's still a lot to
15:16To find
15:17But definitely felt
15:19Decent towards the end
15:20So
15:21Yeah let's see overnight
15:22What we can cook for tomorrow
15:24Because you still have obviously got one more practice session to go
15:27And with that confidence
15:28And the pace of the car
15:29Do you think you can haul yourself into the fight with the Ferraris and the Mercedes tomorrow?
15:33Definitely
15:34Looking to fight some of the Mercedes
15:36I think the top three is very strong and on a very good momentum
15:40So we need a very
15:42Very strong FP3 to
15:45Get things working
15:46And
15:47And close the gap
15:47But hopefully we make the most of it
15:49And go into quality
15:50And
15:50Keep the same ramp up
15:55Jesse do you admire his honesty?
15:57The one thing you say about he's a catcher
15:58He comes out
15:59He's
16:00His own
16:01Harshest critic
16:02Yeah I think we've got quite a few emotional drivers in the sport
16:05Yeah
16:05They're very open which is great for us
16:08But
16:08He did the right thing
16:09You know
16:10After the incident
16:11He's built up
16:12He got a
16:12You know
16:13His time got hurt a little bit
16:15He missed the first 10-15 minutes of the session
16:16But
16:17I think being P6
16:19Even though he's quite a way off his team mate
16:21He's done the right thing
16:22Now he can sleep on it
16:23Yeah
16:23So Mario will be more confident himself
16:24And I think we'll see him a lot closer to Max
16:26It was a rebuild job between the
16:28Between the practice sessions
16:29But for him yeah
16:30I mean once you have a blow to your confidence like this
16:33Around here
16:34How's it affect the rest of your weekend
16:36And your experience with put war?
16:37Yeah well the difficulty I think is going to be now
16:39How does he approach P3
16:40Because
16:41You obviously want to be pushing the car
16:43Like we said so many times
16:44Pushing, pushing, edge
16:45And where is the limit
16:46Trying to build up on that lap time
16:49But obviously in P3 that is the worst possible time to have any sort of accident
16:53So he needs to sort of try and build quite a lot through P3
16:57But not too far
16:58Because if you have an incident there
17:00It's you know you're struggling to get out and qualify on
17:02And if you don't get out and qualify on here
17:04Then your Sunday is very very hard to recover from
17:06So it's going to be
17:07How does he reset his approach to P3
17:11In order to be confident with the car by the time he gets to Q1
17:15But not over push P3
17:17And that is very very difficult I think to achieve absolutely perfectly here
17:21Right a bit of tour guide stuff now
17:24Yacht chat
17:24Do you know how much these berths go for?
17:27Give me a range within the harbour of what you think you'd pay to park up your yacht
17:31Do you have the answer?
17:32I do have it yeah
17:34A range give me a range up to what?
17:36Well I mean
17:37Just to moor it
17:38The range that I would want to pay for mooring my boat
17:41Or what they're paying
17:42I think the ones over there are probably 150 to underground to moor
17:48It's between 10,000 euros by the way
17:51And 158,000 euros if you want to have them in here
17:54Now I didn't realise there's a new class of super yacht now
17:57Called a giga yacht
17:58Okay
17:59Like a giga chad
18:00That's youth talk
18:01But if you're more than 90 metres from bow to stern
18:04That is a giga yacht
18:06Now talking of those
18:07Those that have them
18:08We can see Flavio's over there
18:09That is Force Blue
18:10Can you get that John?
18:12That is Flavio's yacht
18:13You might be able to see
18:15Well behind that I think is Faith
18:17Which is Lawrence's
18:19Which is 250 million
18:21It's got a helicopter landing pad
18:23By the way on the front of that
18:25And that converts into a basketball court
18:2720 million a year to run
18:29By the way
18:30Silver Fox
18:31Yours to chart over 900,000 per week
18:34And then some of the bigger ones
18:35Is that the one with the car on it?
18:37There's one with the 10 car on the front of it
18:39A red Formula One car on the front
18:40I can't see
18:41I can't see its name on the front unfortunately
18:44You need to be younger
18:45Is that it?
18:46Yeah, yeah, maybe it is
18:47Maybe it is
18:47But Kismet
18:48Now that's the biggest outside the heart
18:51That's 3 million a week by the way
18:53It's only got 14 berths
18:54And that cost 360 mil
18:56And the winner this year
18:58Apart from the two massive ex-cruiseliners
19:00That are over there
19:01Breakthrough
19:02Which was commissioned by Bill Gates
19:06645 million
19:07Powered very
19:08It's sustainable
19:09Sustainable, okay
19:10Powered by a hydrogen fuel cell
19:11What about like the little dinghies?
19:14Fisher
19:14Exactly
19:14The little dinghy is my sort of spec
19:17What's that one?
19:17This little dinghy here
19:18That's my sort of spec
19:19How much can I get one of those?
19:20Get one of those or you can get a tug
19:22There you go, great yacht chat
19:23Hopefully that's it
19:24That's the best view
19:25Best view we've got round here
19:27We're going to take a short break
19:28On the other side of that
19:29We're going to show you what happened
19:30Celebrations for McLaren's
19:331000th Grand Prix
19:34The great and the good
19:36Turned out last night
19:37And Micka Hakkinen got in
19:38Bruce McLaren's old car
19:40And we'll even have a look round there
19:41New motor home
19:42Very short
20:00This weekend McLaren celebrates 1000th Grand Prix
20:04Just the second team after Ferrari in Formula 1 history
20:07To reach such a milestone
20:09And how appropriate to do it here in Monaco
20:12Where 60 years ago
20:13Bruce McLaren first took a Formula 1 car to the track
20:17In the Principality
20:18You've got to be able to move quickly
20:20If you're going to be competitive
20:21The team's achievements are remarkable
20:23Over 200 race victories
20:25So greater than one in five
20:27Beginning with Bruce himself
20:29At the 1968 Belgian Grand Prix
20:31They've won 10 Constructors titles
20:34And 13 Drivers' Championships
20:36With some of the great drivers of our sport
20:39Fittipaldi
20:41Hunt
20:42Lauda
20:43Prost
20:44Senna
20:46Hakkinen
20:47Hamilton
20:49And last year Lando Norris
20:51All took the crown with McLaren
20:54McLaren were the dominant team of the 1980s
20:57Taking 6 titles in 7 seasons
21:00And in that period
21:01They were equally dominant here in Monaco
21:03With an incredible 9 victories in 10 years
21:06Their total of 16 victories in the Principality
21:10Is by far the most of any team
21:12Quite apt then
21:14But it is here
21:14That the team are celebrating
21:16Reaching this historic milestone
21:18It's like history has offered us the possibility
21:22To close the circle in a proper way
21:23So it's a great moment for the team
21:26It's a great moment for all the McLaren fans
21:28And hopefully we are going to be able to honour this
21:31With a great weekend
21:32Obviously I got inspired a little bit
21:34By Ayrton Senna and Prost
21:36You know in the 90s
21:37With that McLaren
21:38Red and white
21:39And then I had the chance to drive for them
21:41In IndyCar in Formula 1
21:43Two times
21:44So yeah
21:45Happy to be here
21:46And wishing them the best for the future
21:58This one doesn't have a seatbelt
22:00First of all
22:01Physically extremely demanding to drive
22:03So again going back to history
22:05Going back to those years
22:06How much physical power
22:09You need to drive these cars
22:12Absolutely incredible
22:13So it was fun
22:15But luckily I did just one lap you know
22:19This is a very special moment
22:22When I joined McLaren in 1974
22:25I feel so good energy
22:27They never won the world championship
22:29Very young people
22:30Most of them from New Zealand
22:31So happy to be the first one
22:34To win the championship
22:36And then all these champions today
22:39It's amazing to have all these champions together
22:42Here in Monaco
22:43What a special moment for McLaren
22:45And to see all my friends
22:47You know
22:52Just Jensen
22:53An enormous amount of affection
22:56For the Papaya team isn't there?
22:58Yeah
22:58I mean I was with the team for seven years
23:00So I have a really close connection to them
23:03It's the team that I used to watch when I was growing up
23:05With Ayrton Senna and Alan Prost
23:07And the team I was always excited about
23:09Possibly driving for in the future
23:10And yeah
23:11I had some really good times with them
23:12And it's lovely to see them hitting that
23:15Pretty special mark of 1000 Grand Prix
23:16Funnily enough
23:17It was something that Zac put out on all his socials
23:20So far this weekend
23:20Maybe today or yesterday
23:22With regards to that
23:23It's just the way that they have spread their wings
23:26Throughout different categories
23:27And that McLaren brand now
23:29I mean it's truly global
23:30The most sponsors of anybody in the paddock
23:33Incredibly popular
23:34The least unpopular I think they've said as well
23:37You know they measure these things
23:38You know in marketing terms
23:40And what is it about the lure of that brand
23:43And that team itself?
23:44It's obviously changed a lot over the years
23:46You know when I was here it was under Ron Dennis
23:49Who really made McLaren what it really is
23:52Or what it was
23:54Winning multiple world championships
23:56So you can't take anything away from Ron
23:58New leadership is obviously very different
23:59And that's when we've seen them
24:00Branching out to other formula
24:02You know Zac is a massive fan of motorsport
24:04So to see them racing in IndyCar
24:07And racing at Le Mans
24:08Is I'm sure his dream
24:10But also the whole team
24:11So it's lovely to see that opportunity
24:13For more drivers to race for such an iconic team
24:15I mean you were invited yesterday
24:17I was invited
24:17But circumstances meant that you weren't there
24:20What was your highlight of
24:21You know in terms of memories from your career
24:24How many of them are the best ones centered with McLaren
24:27And what were they?
24:28My best drives are with McLaren
24:30You know
24:33Such an emotional time with the team
24:35Because first three years with Lewis Hamilton
24:37It was a massive challenge for me to go up against Lewis
24:42And to win
24:43How many races did I win?
24:44Eight races with McLaren
24:45Over the time that I had with the team
24:47Was really special
24:48And you know
24:51I get quite emotional thinking about it actually
24:52It was a big part of my career
24:53I think 2012 actually the first year we were doing it
24:56You won the first race in the last race
24:58I did
24:58You won Australia
24:59And then you won Brazil
25:00And then of course after that Brazilian one
25:02That was it?
25:03Yeah that was it for a while wasn't it?
25:05Yeah
25:05But yeah I can remember that like it was yesterday
25:08It's amazing how time flies
25:09I won my second race with McLaren
25:11Amazing
25:11So I came from Braun
25:12Second race in
25:13Won McLaren
25:14So that
25:14Yeah immediately I had that emotion of
25:18Celebrating with the team
25:19And that sort of
25:20Put us in good stead for the rest of my career with the team
25:22Okay we're going to set in foot inside this beast
25:25In a few moments
25:26Hold on
25:27Because we won't yet
25:28We're going to hear from their chief designer
25:29Rob Marshall
25:30But also Oscar Piastri
25:31After their day to day
25:34Well Oscar your pace was really difficult to read today
25:36From the outside
25:37Just what did it feel like inside the car?
25:40It felt okay
25:41Just
25:42Yeah not as speedy as we would like unfortunately
25:45So
25:46Yeah a bit of a difficult one
25:48I think we made a bit of progress for FP2
25:51But
25:52Yeah
25:53I mean we went from a second and a half off to a second off
25:55So it's been a tough day for us for sure
25:59So some things to find overnight definitely
26:01Were you surprised by that from that first session
26:04That how far off you were then
26:05Based on that?
26:06Yeah
26:07You know we always expected Ferrari to be quick
26:10And they look very very quick as well
26:11But
26:14Yeah we were hoping we would be a fair bit closer
26:16So
26:18Yeah let's
26:19Let's see what we can try and muster it for tomorrow
26:21Have you already got quite a few ideas of things you wanted to try
26:23And you just obviously couldn't change with FP2
26:25Because we've still got one more session to go
26:27Not massively no
26:28You know I think in today's Formula One
26:30There's never
26:32Anything you can
26:33You can do to turn the car completely upside down
26:37So
26:38We'll try and find something for sure because we need to
26:42But
26:43Yeah
26:43We
26:44I don't have any great ideas
26:45Alright well best luck for the rest of the weekend again
26:48Thanks
26:48Cheers
26:48Rob
26:49I'd like to start just by asking about the issues
26:52We saw on Lando Norris' car
26:53Do we know what's gone on with the car?
26:55We don't know
26:57Conclusively yet
26:57He had an electrical problem on the car
26:59And it shut down
27:01But we've not had enough time to go through the data
27:03And find out exactly what's gone wrong yet
27:05So
27:06Could be anything but it's electrical
27:08Electrical
27:09So
27:09We saw the pace of Oscar
27:11Who's the representative of McLaren
27:13Around the second off the pace of Lewis Hamilton
27:16Were McLaren just
27:17Were you playing yourselves in?
27:18Are you confident about the car you have
27:20Underneath your drivers?
27:21I think we
27:22I think we can
27:23We're confident we can make it a bit better
27:26I think we were
27:28Struggling in the initial part of the lap
27:30And then as it went through sector two and three
27:32We started to be a bit more competitive
27:34So I think
27:34Maybe that's
27:35Tire temperature or
27:39Maybe something else
27:40But
27:40But we've got a bit of stuff to work on certainly
27:43In the first half of the lap
27:44Right
27:45Thanks Rob
27:45Okay
27:47Yeah
27:47Bit of a concern
27:49On that front
27:49Bearing in mind of
27:50What happened to another Mercedes engine
27:51In the former George
27:52In Montreal
27:54Yeah
27:54I mean they'll sort the problem out
27:55The bigger issue is Lando's
27:56Missed the whole of FP2
27:58Which is quite an important session
27:59It is
27:59Right
28:00As promised
28:00Let's go
28:01This is the McLaren Team Hub
28:02Their last one survived for 19 years
28:05But then
28:06Of course
28:07Now as I said
28:07With all these sponsors
28:08They can probably afford
28:10Can't they
28:10To have
28:11To have a new motor home
28:13Can I
28:13This is by the way
28:14I don't know if you can see down here Kieran
28:15This is Jude
28:16If you've not got the right pass
28:17You're not going to get in
28:18And there's Mark Norris as well
28:20Mark can you walk with us up the stairs
28:21Can I ask you a little bit about this
28:22Yeah
28:22So I know you're so heavily involved
28:24In
28:24In the development of this
28:26How long has this been in the making?
28:28It's been a project just over about two
28:29Two and a half years
28:30And about a year in construction
28:33Built in Germany
28:34But you know
28:35It was given a brief to
28:36To give us McLaren something
28:38To differentiate themselves in the paddock
28:40From everybody else
28:41And to set a new standard in hospitality
28:43And to make some statement in the paddock
28:45Mark is there any orange paint left in the world
28:47After you build this
28:48I mean this is
28:49Papaya paint Jensen
28:49Papaya yeah
28:50It's orangey
28:52But yeah it's pretty amazing
28:54So on the middle floor here
28:55We've got all the offices
28:56So we've got Zach's office
28:57We've got some meeting rooms
28:58Commercial, marketing, digital comms
29:00Driving bathrooms
29:01And then as we come up to the top floor here
29:03This is really our VIP floor for our partners as well
29:06And invited guests up here
29:07Which is why we're going up there yeah
29:08I suppose
29:10How many floors is it now?
29:11It's three
29:12Three floors
29:12Yeah I can't count
29:13We're just
29:15Yeah three
29:16So Mark you've been here for such a long time
29:18When did you actually start with the team?
29:19So I was here November 96
29:22So I celebrate 30 years
29:23Vegas Grand Prix week
29:25Wow
29:25So and personally
29:27I've been here
29:28Been at McLaren for over 550 Grand Prix's
29:31But I've personally done 500 Grand Prix's
29:33Wow
29:33So we worked together for many years
29:35And when I left McLaren
29:36Mark was very kind
29:38And he gave me this model
29:39Was it a quarter scale
29:41Of my race car
29:42Which was insane
29:43It's so beautiful
29:44And it's hanging up in my house
29:46Key man
29:47If you want to know a man in McLaren that can
29:49It's Mark
29:50Well done Mark
29:50Appreciate it
29:51Big cake for you in Vegas
29:52We'll stay clear of the
29:54I'm glad he was there
29:55Because he could tell us something about it
29:56Because I was just going to
29:57Walk upstairs and blag it
29:59As we so often do
30:00But this is I mean it's great
30:01What they have to say now
30:03Is that the amount
30:03I know I keep coming back to it
30:05But just the sheer way that this sport has exploded
30:11With sponsors and the
30:12I mean there's a lot of entertaining to do
30:14There's a lot of
30:16Shall I say prawn sandwiches to eat
30:18Yeah well there's a lot more space needed for all of the sponsors they have
30:21The list is unbelievable
30:22When you look at Formula One back in the 2000s
30:25You know well when I raced there was like two sponsors on our team kit
30:29And the same for a lot of teams out there
30:31People just weren't interested in sponsoring F1
30:33Now everyone wants to be here
30:35So yes we need hospitality
30:37And this isn't unusual
30:38This goes up and down the pit lane this sort of hospitality
30:40It does
30:41But you can actually see just how tight it is
30:43Come over here
30:45And I'll keep coming back to it
30:47It might be boring to some about logistics
30:49But just look at how tightly everything is packed in here
30:53From the FIA one you've got the trucks at the back here
30:55I mean that space is you know yea wide
30:59I mean it's not even 50 metres it's probably 20 metres maximum
31:01And they've got to get everything in
31:03So it's a huge logistical operation for them to do it
31:05They come from both sides
31:06And you know the work gets underway very early in the week
31:10And then of course they've got to get it all to Barcelona for next week
31:13Yeah well and this has grown as well
31:16I know
31:16You wouldn't think you'd be able to grow
31:17It's such a small area
31:19But they've had to grow it for the 11th team Cadillac at the end
31:22So they've removed a school at the end
31:24They've obviously replaced the school with another one
31:27So the kids have a school
31:28Yeah
31:29Because that would be unfortunate
31:30That would be fair
31:31But it's unbelievable how Formula One has changed for Formula One
31:35And the way that Monaco has changed for Formula One
31:38And how it's grown
31:39Gin and tonics?
31:41Something like that
31:42Something like that
31:43Okay save us a couple of something like that
31:45Because we'll be done soon
31:46In the meantime
31:47There is another new motorhome in the paddock
31:50And that is down at Audi
31:53Natalie's down there to talk us through that one
31:56Yes here we are in Audi
31:57And this is phenomenal
31:59I feel like everything is getting bigger and better in Formula One
32:02I'm not sure where you go from here
32:04Because just have a look around here
32:05Amazing facility to host the guests
32:08Will we check what's for dinner?
32:09Yeah what's on the menu tonight?
32:10So we've got calamari starter
32:12Beef for me and Beef Town
32:14Double chocolate tart
32:15Oh I think we might be staying a bit longer
32:18We might be staying, can we stay?
32:19Check this out
32:19Couple of simulators
32:20We'll have a little go in there
32:21There's two
32:22We can have a little race later
32:23We've got a date sorted
32:25Yeah
32:25This is great
32:26I love that for a motorhome
32:27That's great
32:28And obviously it's been a great day for them on track
32:30So you know
32:30There might be a few glasses of champagne
32:31Maybe a bit premature
32:32They want to see how they go
32:33And quality in the race
32:34I know but the guests will be enjoying themselves
32:35Regardless of what day it is
32:37And here we are
32:38Open kitchen
32:39Look busy boys
32:39Look busy
32:41They're working hard
32:42Look at this food
32:43Looks amazing
32:44I think this is one of the things
32:45That people don't see in the background of teams
32:47A lot of work goes into keeping the guests happy
32:49A lot of work goes into keeping the team happy
32:52And fed well as well
32:53Yes because we know that an army marches on its stomach
32:55Of course
32:56And the same with an F1 team
32:57Now this unbelievably is 260 tons
33:01It takes 31 trucks to move it around
33:04I mean this is the first time we've seen it
33:06So it hasn't been moved yet
33:07But get this
33:08In the middle of the structure
33:09Is a massive crane that builds it
33:12And then folds up into the middle of the building
33:17That's good engineering as well
33:18You'd love that wouldn't you
33:19Yeah when you look at this building
33:21You look at the size of it
33:21Look at the size
33:22It's really hard to see the scope of it here
33:24But the size of this building
33:26And this is all going to come down on Sunday night
33:29And go to Barcelona
33:30And be put up in time for next Wednesday
33:32When guests start arriving there
33:33Well thanks to the crane
33:34It can happen very quickly indeed
33:36That's very good
33:37So have you enjoyed it?
33:38I always feel a bit nervous being in someone else's
33:41I feel like someone else's motor home
33:42But I like being in here
33:43I'll be back
33:44I might be back for dinner in a bit
33:45I think we should do
33:46Let's go and have a little look outside
33:47And in the meantime
33:49We'll throw you to Gabby Bortoletto
33:51Who's had a great day today
33:53Gabby on paper
33:54Looks like an incredibly strong Friday
33:56For you running in the top ten the whole day
33:58How was it in the Audi?
34:00Yeah it was okay
34:01I think P1
34:02We have faced a few issues
34:03But still we managed to put the car in the top ten
34:06P2 everything felt smooth and clean
34:09And I built up through the session
34:10I think the soft could have been a little bit smoother
34:14From my side
34:15It took me a little bit to put a good lap time
34:18A bit on the traffic side and everything
34:21But at the end I'm happy
34:22Still managed to put an okay lap up there
34:25Understand a little bit our balance
34:26Our limitations
34:27And work for tomorrow
34:28Is there more to come from the team?
34:30Are there areas where you feel it could still be improved more
34:32Coming into Saturday?
34:34Definitely
34:35There is a lot of things we can improve and be better
34:38Yeah just a lot of work to be done tonight
34:41From my side
34:42And trying to put the car in a little bit better place
34:45Even if we are in a decent place already
34:47There is always a little bit we can improve as you said
34:51That said
34:52As you mentioned at the start of the show
34:54They're having a fine weekend so far
34:56Very good start to things for them
34:58Yeah really good start
34:59And I think
34:59Well they've said before
35:01That they think they have the fourth best car on the grid
35:03And they probably do
35:04Chassis wise
35:05Chassis wise
35:05Yeah
35:06I mean that's quite a statement isn't it?
35:08For some you know
35:08Team that's fresh into it
35:10Yeah no it's impressive
35:11I mean it was already impressive what they did with the power unit
35:13It's not up to the scratcher with the Mercedes obviously yet
35:16But already that was a good step
35:18And to see what they're doing with the car around here
35:21Imposes them on good pace
35:22And I have to say
35:23Watching their laps
35:24They're giving the barriers a bit more space than most
35:28I do think we're going to see them jump forward even further
35:31Once FP3 and qualifying comes
35:33And also after this weekend with the ADOUs
35:36The additional development and upgrade opportunities
35:38ADUOs I should say
35:39Not very good with the macrams
35:40But you know they're going to be a little bit off
35:43They're going to have an opportunity to upgrade the engine
35:46Once this year and then once next year you'd think
35:49Yeah definitely
35:50And I think the biggest issue for them is probably the starts
35:54You know we've talked about it before
35:55They have a huge turbo
35:57Which is good in some ways
35:58But it does hurt them off the line a little bit
36:00So they'll be looking at that for the future
36:02But this year obviously it's not something they can change
36:05But they do lose positions most starts because of that
36:08Ok
36:08Right
36:09World Cups what just over a week away
36:11Can't wait for the start of that
36:13And as is tradition here in Monaco
36:16At the Monaco Football Stadium
36:18We'll show you what happened in the charity match
36:21Featuring the likes of Ronaldinho
36:23And most of the French drivers too
36:32Welcome back as promised before the break
36:35On Wednesday the annual charity football match
36:38At AS Monaco Stadium just down the road
36:41And plenty of famous faces on display
36:54Normally in Monaco week the goals are to stay out of the barriers
36:58And maybe win the race
37:00But on the Wednesday before the goals are goals
37:08Every year before the Grand Prix
37:10Prince Albert who's here in attendance tonight
37:12It's a royal occasion host this charity match
37:15And it's for Mercy Boats this year
37:17Which do a lot of good work
37:19In some of the deprived parts of the world
37:21So it's a great initiative
37:23As you can see I'm sorry my skills
37:25With Peter Ghazi
37:25You play every year
37:27You turn up and really go for it
37:29But it's been a happy footballing time in your life
37:31I knew you were going to come to it
37:33Tell us more
37:33We are champions
37:38We are champions
37:39Let's go
37:41Let's go
37:41Did you message Lewis Hamilton after the Champions League final?
37:44Did you?
37:45I didn't
37:46I'm waiting
37:47I'm going to nibble him during the weekend here in Monaco
37:52Some big names in attendance
37:54Including Ronaldinho
37:56Yes the Brazilian great who starved for so many years for Barcelona
38:00Having his own kind of personal El Classico out on the pitch today with Clarence Seedorf
38:12I have to say this is the one venue in world football where the spectators often have more money than
38:19the actual players here in Monte Carlo
38:27This was a race the drivers would be getting lapped before one down and what a great chance just missed
38:33by Isak Kadjar
38:34But it was a DNF for him
38:36Did not finish
38:37Oh dear
38:40It looks like they've just called time
38:42A good cause
38:44And I tell you the likes of Isak Kadjar and Carlos Sainz have absolutely run themselves into the ground
38:50You've got energy left for the weekend?
38:52Yeah yeah I'm full of energy
38:53But I think we would have needed you as a 12th player on the pitch today
38:56So next year I'll book you in
38:58Told you to do that
38:59Is Ghazi right? Will these twinkle toes see some action here next year?
39:04Will this be my field of dreams?
39:06Wow
39:06The real action is about to start
39:08It's time to get the ball rolling
39:10On track
39:15Yeah, three drivers
39:16Paris Saint-Germain
39:18Supporters so pretty happy
39:19Lewis Hamilton
39:20Less so after the Champions League final results
39:23Did you ever play in that?
39:24Was it going when you were driving?
39:27Oh it was going
39:27Okay, how are your feet?
39:29Two to left
39:30Anything
39:32Don't throw a ball at me
39:33I have no idea what to do with it
39:34That's amazing
39:34Yeah I know
39:35I've seen that so often in drivers
39:37It's because all you were doing was karting
39:39Never doing a ball
39:39They either love
39:40They either love sports
39:42Yeah
39:42Or they don't really have anything to do with them
39:44And I was the latter
39:45Yeah
39:46In this generation though
39:47Different generation
39:48And Checo Perez
39:49Carlos Sainz is a decent player
39:50There's some really good ones
39:51Up and down
39:52The pit lane
39:53One of those on display
39:54Was Esteban Ocon
39:56A bit of beef today
39:58Between himself
39:59And his teammate
40:00Oli Behrman
40:02A couple of
40:03Impeding shouts
40:04At Raskas
40:06Not one but two
40:10So
40:11Judge this
40:13From his perspective
40:16As I was saying
40:17Yeah
40:17There's a little bit of niggle
40:19Between this pair
40:20At the moment
40:21This is what you have to say
40:22Over Team Radio
40:28I can just back up a bit
40:29Yeah
40:30He doesn't have to
40:30My laps twice
40:32As well
40:32You know
40:33On the fast
40:35What an idiot man
40:37Sorry
40:38That was so stupid
40:39The last of us
40:42So Esteban on paper
40:43Looked like a slightly
40:44Challenging Friday for you
40:46How was it in the car?
40:47Yeah
40:47I mean it's only FP2
40:48You know
40:49It's tomorrow
40:49That matters today
40:50Was about figuring out
40:51You know
40:51Our way around
40:52And looking at the limitations
40:54Of the car
40:54Obviously we
40:55Have good data now
40:57For this
40:57So it's up to us
40:58To work around them
40:59And try and improve the car
41:01For tomorrow morning
41:01When you start
41:02You know
41:03Getting closer to the world
41:04And pushing harder
41:04So we'll see where we are
41:06Tomorrow
41:07Traffic always a problem
41:08In Monaco
41:08But a bit of tripping
41:09Over your teammate
41:10In FP1
41:11Will you just have a word
41:12With Oli later
41:13And smooth these up?
41:14No, I mean
41:14Everyone's talking about that
41:15There's no issues at all
41:17You know
41:19Oli was getting blocked
41:20Basically by the cars in front
41:21So he had to back out
41:22And I was the one
41:23Impeded by him
41:23So we saw places after that
41:25As soon as it was communicated
41:26By him
41:27That I was coming behind
41:27He let me go
41:28It was just needed
41:29The communication inside the team
41:31And that was done
41:33What's your take on
41:35What's going down
41:36On down at Haas
41:36Particularly with Esteban Ocon
41:37He's got one point to his name
41:39So far this year
41:40His teammate
41:4118 points
41:42At one stage
41:43Bernie
41:43He was running fifth
41:45In the championship
41:46Do you feel
41:46Like it's now
41:48Or never for Esteban
41:49He's been around the sport
41:50For a long time
41:51And you just get those seasons
41:52Where you feel
41:53It's kind of
41:53Make or break
41:54And obviously
41:55From our side
41:56The pressure
41:57Ramps up
41:58But you're just going to get
41:58Talked about more and more
41:59If you can't stay close
42:00To your team
42:01Yeah and I think
42:02You know that's the difficulty
42:03A little bit in motorsport
42:04You get judged against
42:05Your teammate
42:06You know the first person
42:07A driver gets judged against
42:08What is he doing
42:09Versus what his teammate
42:10Is doing
42:10And Esteban's been up
42:11Against several teammates
42:13And now he's got
42:14Oli Berman
42:14And we all look at it
42:17We all judge that
42:18And he's going to feel
42:19A little bit frustrated
42:20You know
42:20There was rumours
42:21A few weeks ago
42:22About whether he was going
42:23To last the entire season
42:24That all brings pressure
42:25That puts pressure on
42:26I think our cameraman's
42:28Going to get shoved out of the way
42:29So a car can go by
42:30So I'll just be out of vision
42:32For a second
42:33I have to move the crow
42:33Over
42:34There he goes
42:36Just get this van out
42:37The wonders of Monaco
42:39But yeah I think that
42:41You know Ocon is going to be
42:42Feeling the pressure
42:43And he's now got another teammate
42:45That he's not quite performed
42:46As well as he would
42:47He would have thought
42:48Oh well I can beat Oli Berman
42:50And everyone's hyping up
42:51Oli Berman
42:51And therefore that increases
42:52His profile as well
42:54So there will be lots going on
42:56In the background
42:56I think the biggest thing is
42:57Obviously his teammate is
42:58A lot less experienced than him
43:00And he's been way more consistent
43:02With the results
43:03So that's definitely hurt
43:04So yeah I agree
43:05This is a really important year
43:06For Esteban to get it right
43:08For his career
43:09Okay Franco Colapinto
43:11Has been getting it right
43:12For the last couple of races
43:14Obviously a very difficult year
43:15Last year
43:16But consecutive
43:17Best finishes
43:18For him in Miami
43:20And then
43:20Montreal 7th
43:21And 6th
43:22But a brush with the wall
43:24Today
43:25Let's hear what the
43:26Argentine driver had to say
43:28Following that
43:30Just after Sandoval
43:31He wasn't the only one
43:36Well Franco we saw the wall tap from you
43:38In FP2
43:39But how were you feeling in the car
43:41Across Friday?
43:42Oh feeling was
43:43Was okay
43:44I think
43:44Still a lot of things to improve
43:46And a lot to work on
43:47Really struggling with the brakes
43:49In some places
43:50There is some stuff to
43:51To fix for tomorrow
43:53But I think
43:54We normally do these steps
43:56From Friday to Saturday
43:57So we need to work
43:58A little bit
43:59Understand a little bit
44:00More the car
44:01Understand a few more things
44:02And try to
44:03Come back stronger for tomorrow
44:05Can you just put us
44:06In the driving seat
44:07Of what driving one of these
44:082026 cars
44:09Is like
44:10Relative to the 2025 car
44:12Around Monaco
44:12Well it
44:13Is lighter
44:14And a bit
44:15Shorter
44:16A bit
44:17Smaller car
44:18In general
44:19Compared to last year
44:19So it's moving around a bit more
44:21And it's okay to drive
44:22You don't have the clip
44:23As much as in other tracks
44:25So we
44:26We have deployment
44:27All around the track
44:27Which is good
44:28It makes it a bit
44:29It makes it feel a bit
44:31More natural
44:31Which is also good
44:34So yeah
44:34Nice to be back in Europe
44:35Excited
44:37For this European season
44:38And yeah
44:39Let's try to have it
44:41Start in Monaco
44:43And coming along nicely
44:44Last couple of races Jensen
44:45Yeah it was
44:46Again it was needed
44:47Yeah
44:47Talking about Esteban Ocon
44:48Having a difficult time
44:50He needed this
44:51Last year wasn't great
44:52And the start of the year
44:53Wasn't fantastic either
44:54So really nice to see him
44:56Scoring some good points
44:57He's got a bit of confidence
44:58In himself
44:58We know he's got speed
44:59The brush with the wall
45:01That's done now
45:02Hopefully he can move on
45:03From that
45:04And show us
45:05What he can do tomorrow
45:06Very decent teammate
45:07Pierre Gasly
45:08Who drives for Alpine
45:09Of course
45:10Yes
45:10Not for the racing points
45:12Yes
45:13Let's finish off
45:14With Fred Vasseur
45:16Let's get his thoughts
45:17After a good day for Ferrari
45:19So Fred
45:19Everybody was talking up
45:21Ferrari's chances
45:21This weekend
45:22And yet
45:23You look like
45:24You are the team to beat
45:25Is that how you're feeling
45:27And
45:28No
45:28I don't care about this
45:30Kind of
45:31Approach
45:31Or rumours
45:32That we have to do the job
45:33It's a
45:35Very long way
45:36In Monaco
45:37From Friday
45:37To
45:39First to the quali
45:39And to the race
45:41The most difficult
45:42Is that you have to
45:43Anticipate the evolution
45:44Of the track
45:44The evolution of the grip
45:45And
45:46You have to be always
45:48One session ahead
45:49And
45:49This is a
45:51A real challenge
45:52For the team
45:53And for the drivers
45:54It means that
45:55Still a long way
45:56And
45:57We'll see tomorrow evening
45:58About the
45:59Real pace
46:01We saw a great performance
46:03From Lewis
46:03In Canada
46:04It looks like he's carried
46:05That momentum
46:06Into Monaco
46:07How gratifying is it
46:08For you to see
46:09The seven time world champion
46:10Really hitting his groove
46:11I think for sure
46:12It's important
46:13And it's important for the competitiveness
46:15Of the team
46:15At the end
46:16Because that to have
46:16A positive emulation
46:18That between them
46:19It's also helping
46:20Both sides of the garage
46:22And
46:23It's also helping the team
46:24To develop the car
46:25And
46:26Yeah the momentum is good
46:27But
46:29Most important is that
46:30The momentum
46:30Will be good tomorrow evening
46:33And
46:33Just finally
46:34On the other side of the garage

47:36He's a very very good driver
47:38As we know
47:38The team have

48:11We understand
48:12He was talking to Mercedes
48:13Aston Martin
48:14But a lot of people
48:15Would have wanted to sign
48:16Charles Leclerc
48:17However he decided
48:18The best place was home
48:19Because that is his home
48:20Apart from
48:21At Monaco
