[Music]
all the races have the same points
but this is the race you really want to
win that you want to come out of monaco
with those 25 points
thanks for stopping you're a monaco
[Music]
group
i think we can all agree it's more than
a normal race
those that really understand formula one
and really understand human and machine
in perfect harmony there is no better
example of that than monaco
the precision learning where to touch
the barrier
it's very unforgiving
[Music]
it feels great to be back you know it
feels like it's been a while since we're
gonna race here
the the grand prix i mean is of course
something very special the atmosphere is
quite different to
how monaco normally is but yeah you
really feel like it's back alive
very excited so much looking forward to
it and i really
hope we are able to to give a lot to the
fans
and hopefully this weekend we can give
them back
a lot you know and have a great race
hello
how are you you're good thank you
[Music]
it's been a long time since we don't
come here i'm so happy to be here
ah it's just a different weekend you
know it's a very unique place it's a
it's a race that's all the driver's
dream to
to win it it's historical it's uh
together with formula one you know the
match i mean monaco is really what it's
all about formula one
where did you go for dinner it's very
expensive here
be careful i think we definitely have a
good
a good chance to be very competitive
here i think we will have a bit more of
an idea tomorrow
but obviously that's the target you know
to come and win the race
wow
what's a boat what is that
i mean it has changed a lot since a year
ago right
there a lot of new buildings
[Music]
this is nice eh i think this is a one
from
latifi it used to be from lawrence
yeah it's this one
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
monaco memories it'd be stupid not to
sit here and talk about previous monaco
you've been on the podium here
you've knocked yourself unconscious here
as well i don't know which one you
remember more than the other
another not for boxing it was a big
crash you heard wasn't it yeah i had a
big one in
2011 yeah yeah i just tried to deliver
every single time and it's difficult to
comment on
the other side you know what's what's
happening but yeah i just
try to get the most out of it every
single weekend
we've seen these tests change many many
times there's a lot of noise being made
about it
it's being stoked up for obvious reasons
thanks thank you lovely you're gonna
stick that one
you know where you're absolutely
he's a great racer i think we show each
other you know
we have a lot of respect i think for
each other which is good
and yeah we raised shadow hard but
that's how it should be it's always a
bit of a weird day because you get into
the weekend then it comes to a come to a
stop but there's uh
a few different discussions the
meeting's gone it's always a passion
okay let's go to kudos
15 minutes leaving some at home yeah
nice and chill evening good and then i
got ready to send it
that's it a little bit not too much yeah
lewis is still in the same place yeah
louis nicole
that's right yeah i saw him the other
night on his boat uh it's either the
mast
the big master the wide over there in
front of the yacht club yeah the one
yeah yeah that says preening
beautiful boat
[Music]
i personally think what makes monaco
special is it's so narrow
you know there's very little room for
error and some other street circus you
know you have more runoff zones and the
track in general is a bit wider here
it's it's something else and especially
with the cars we have now is so wide
and then i think the whole scenery you
know with all the boats all the people
around
yeah it's it's definitely different than
others
it's been a bit of a love-hate
relationship yeah i know i've
not had the best results here but um i
think the speed has been fine just
few let's say unlucky moments and
mistakes so now of course we hope that
this
weekend is going to be different
there's only 25 points and a trophy like
in every other grand prix
hey dude how's it going but this is the
royal
grand prix it's the streets of monte
carlo it's made famous by
all the film stars that grace kelly
brought here this is where
some of the legends of the sport have
won this grand prix you know senna had
incredible record around here graham
hill schumacher
and this is more than a race and it's
the one that in terms of
the trophy cabinet the drivers would
love to win
under the circumstances we have to be
thankful there will be some crowds in
the grandstands
everyone within the principality is pcr
tested checked
has to have a hotel room so i think that
this is a safe environment as you can
possibly have to welcome some fans back
to formula one
it's a little bit different but i would
say you can still feel there is a race
around
uh you see a lot more people i think
we're just very excited to
be driving in between the walls again
and hopefully of course it's going to be
a good weekend
i guess it's also one of those races
where like you say not much happens in
the race so sometimes it could come down
to something like a pit stop do you
think the boys in the garage feel a bit
of that pressure
at this grand prix as well
they know that they're very good at
their job so i think if they just stay
relaxed they
just they will do the best pit stop
anyway and that's what we always have to
fire
how many sets that's 16 sets
simple all right
now he's gone down for a lift with the
tyre right i thought we'll send him down
get the tyre racks
yeah once the turret's here he can then
go back down with ben
right
like every year um when you go to a
sweet circuit again you have to build it
up and it's going to be the same
so i don't expect it to be very
different also because
you know we spend time on the simulator
it's just all about the track evolution
as well putting the rubber down
and you know every session every lap you
just get faster and faster and more
more confident so i guess it's going to
be the same again
we love you
so guys we are here in monaco as you can
see always
very lovely and um here tonight we are
going to
host an event by tech lawyer and i think
i'm receiving a special watch so
i'm looking forward to it
[Music]
hey how are you
[Music]
and has a long history with monaco
plates of uh
years uh decades it's uh it all started
with the
with the monaco grand prix the launch of
the the monaco watch
1969. well thank you very much this is a
very special gift
thank you very much mr arnold thank you
thank you for being
so faithful to monaco into the
automobile club of monaco and
to the grand prix max it's great to see
you
again thank you very much and we wish
you all the best
for this weekend and as i told you
before i hope to see you on the podium
sunday next to charles leclair
you meet charles next to me
wish you a good evening and uh good rest
for the for the rest of the way tomorrow
and then we'll all follow that with a
lot of attention
thank you thank you very much
[Music]
yes
[Music]
you know you come from your own
apartment to the track which of course
is different to any other track
but i think we learned how to deal with
it now so
yeah it's for me just easier to get to
get to the track
[Music]
mba is different we had some good
moments some bad races
in the last few years but overall we
seem very competitive here so
i hope it's of course going to be the
same this weekend
[Music]
i'm just very excited to racing here
again
yeah it's very tricky around here and
especially in qualifying you know it's
all about golfing anyway and
normally in the race of course not much
is happening that's why it makes it even
more
exciting i think for coffin to just have
a good one
[Music]
track temp has come up three or four
degrees from fb3
we were straight away very competitive
so i was very confident going in
qualifying and
basically you know it's all about
building up confidence and speed because
because you don't want to crash if you
want to do two because you know that it
matters in q3
of course with the rock you know the
weather if it comes over it's possible
that it rains
i honestly don't mind dry or wet
[Music]
okay max forget to step into these tires
yeah a lot of traffic red flag
red flag leclair is in the wall at 16.
oh yeah that was definitely on because i
made a mistake it took 10 minutes before
i just had a lot
qualifying was a little bit frustrating
because max was on a
on an incredible lap but uh no i mean
it's uh it's great to be a monaco and
sergio he he hit a traffic jam as well
which is not unusual here
[Music]
yeah i was wearing this jacket yesterday
oh thank you it's probably this one
second and eighth on the grid uh is
gonna be
uh gonna be an interesting race i'd
really enjoy a boring race tomorrow if
we were half a lap in the lead so
that'll be perfect for me
this is the oldest race on the calendar
and the barriers are close
it's completely unforgiving and uh it's
it's obviously a tough race
all the races have the same points but
this is the race you really want to win
that you want to
come out of monaco you know with uh with
those 25 points
we've been fortunate to win it four
times previously and it'd be great to
add a fifth
to that we do a lot of street circuits
but here
you can feel it already in your heart
rate you know you go out of the pits and
you start your lap and it's like you
almost have to go over what you think is
possible between the walls and
yeah it's pretty special
[Music]
what do you think you like all the fans
i like all the fans
i hope they all know the gin tonics
yeah always good stuff
i understand why racing fans don't
necessarily always love the race that is
monaco
you make one mistake you will hit a
barrier if you are a few millimeters
away from the apex that might seem
nothing on a normal racetrack but that
costs you time
did you even get to formula one you've
got to be something very special when
you see the speed of these cars it's uh
it's quite phenomenal to think of a
human being controlling
controlling these things
[Music]
this is your final lap head down and
stay clear of the guys ahead
[Music]
[Applause]
max that is a fabulous drive mate and
you're
[Music]
