00:00 78 laps around Monaco, it slides out, away we go, Leclerc gets away brilliantly
00:05 Here comes Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz behind him
00:09 And Sainz trying to squeeze past Oscar Piastri into the first corner
00:12 They're getting a bit congested at the back but they've all made it through
00:15 And Piastri's hung on to second place, Leclerc leads them through, Massenet, Norris
00:20 All over the back and there's a problem for Sainz
00:22 He got very very close to Oscar Piastri, has he got a puncture?
00:25 I think he's got a puncture and or suspension damage
00:30 It's red flag, Sainz did hit his front left against the side of Oscar Piastri
00:36 This means they can unfortunately
00:39 Oh that's why we got a red flag
00:40 And Sergio Perez evolves and the Haas I think of Kevin Magnussen
00:46 And Nico Hülkenberg I think is the other car, yeah
00:48 So they've obviously tripped over an incident and look at that
00:54 Well both front wheels gone and that, well three of the four wheels, that's a huge
01:00 So he's obviously gone around or something Sergio Perez and just been
01:03 Whacked by cars coming past, look at how well the survival cell has worked
01:08 And the tethers on the wheels of that red bull, that's extraordinary
01:13 That's kind of written off every single piece of that Formula 1 car
01:17 What this does mean Crofty is that they can change tyre compound now under the red flag
01:23 And run to the end of the race
01:25 Look at the start once again, Leclerc got away brilliantly
01:29 And I think Sainz reacted a little bit faster than Oscar Piastri
01:32 Now let's see the pinch point into Saint-Laurent
01:35 Sainz is almost ahead at that stage
01:37 That's where the contact was, just coming out of Saint-Laurent
01:40 Yeah so it's front left puncture for Sainz
01:42 We saw the car skidding along the ground, he's struggling
01:44 And that's why the front two got away from him
01:47 And as he tries to turn right into the second part of Casino Square
01:52 The car's not interested
01:54 Now for sure Leclerc has gone through
01:57 As before we saw the red flag
01:59 Leclerc's gone through the first sector timing point
02:02 Which is down the hill before Mirabeau, is it not?
02:03 Yeah, but have they all gone through it?
02:06 Well no, no way they all went through it
02:08 So therefore I would imagine it'd be like Australia if you remember last year
02:12 With the final restart there
02:13 Oh and he did, he got a tag from Kevin Magnussen
02:16 Yeah Magnussen was to his right
02:18 And three into one effectively is what we're looking at there
02:23 So I think that rather confirms Perez had some kind of start issue as well
02:28 Because he's back with the two guys who started on the back row of the grid
02:32 And there's Sainz unable to turn the car
02:36 And this is Carlos Sainz now at the start of this race
02:39 And we can see he's alongside Oscar Piast
02:43 He's going into Saint-Laurent
02:45 It's no wonder that there was the briefest of touches there
02:48 That could have been an awful lot worse for both cars
02:52 But we know how serrated those pieces, those little turning vanes they put
02:56 They're like, you know, if they ran over you'd be like chips to be honest
03:00 Right, now we're going to see Sergio Perez
03:02 This is going to be about 400 meters of his Monaco Grand Prix
03:06 Oh he's nearly ticking over into the first corner
03:09 And now he's got Kevin Magnussen to his right
03:12 And Magnussen just keeps on pushing up there
03:14 So one wheel escaped on its tail
03:20 There's hopefully to stay in bound of the track
03:23 There's not a grandstand there thankfully
03:25 And let's see the view now from Nico Hülkenberg
03:28 You can see it all unfolding in front of him
03:32 And there's Kevin Magnussen trying to squeeze alongside Perez
03:35 Two into one, don't go
03:37 And then Hülkenberg just at the moment he thought he got through
03:40 - Are you okay Nico? - He gets tagged too
03:41 Damn it, that was unnecessary
03:43 Yeah
03:45 And I wonder what those stewards will say about this
03:48 Perez was almost stationed on the outside
03:50 He covers the middle of the track
03:51 It was front wheel against front axle aligned with rear axle
03:58 Whosever fault it was
04:01 A single-seaters only have one person in them by definition
04:06 And I believe Kevin should have got out of that
04:09 You know that was a like an 80-90% chance of a crash basically
04:14 And you just rather like he did up against Logan Sargent
04:18 In Miami again you could say well I was alongside him
04:22 As we see the two Alp...
04:23 Oh there's another incident out there then
04:26 As two Alpines get into each other
04:29 And once again...
04:29 Was it two Alpines?
04:32 Yeah well you've got...
04:33 Gasly's been wrong-footed hasn't he?
04:35 So...
04:35 You've got Albon just ahead of Gasly here
04:39 Ocon on the inside
04:41 What did he do?
04:42 What did he do?
04:44 Exactly
04:46 What did he try to attack?
04:47 He did it as a teammate in Porto
04:49 Both guys, damage now
04:51 Presented by Andreas Stella as to which way they would go with that
04:57 We got five lights though
04:58 It's lights out and away we go
05:00 We're racing again and this time Oscar Piastri gets a better start
05:03 Than he did first time around
05:05 And Carlos Sainz is behind him
05:06 And alongside Lando Norris going into Turn 1
05:09 It's Charles Leclerc who leads them up Beaurevage
05:11 And on towards Massonet
05:12 They've all got round the first corner
05:14 Unscathed as through Massonet we go now
05:17 Leclerc got a better getaway than Oscar Piastri
05:20 But crucially for Piastri
05:21 His getaway was better than Carlos Sainz on this occasion
05:23 Yeah Piastri could slop fully in front this time around
05:27 And it was Lando Norris and George Russell
05:30 That were virtually side by side up the hill
05:32 Russell backed out of that because he had to
05:34 Otherwise he'll end up in the same place that
05:37 K-Mag and Perez did earlier on this afternoon
05:41 George no need to stick this close to Norris
05:43 Just manage these tyres at this stage
05:45 This is the only opportunity
05:47 Alex Albon has kind of got his feet up in that position
05:54 But he's not relaxing in any way shape or form
05:56 I'm not entirely sure why Russell's going so slowly
05:58 He's just giving them a three-pit stop gap eventually
06:00 So yeah keep it there for the moment
06:03 Right it's Bensal to manage his tyres
06:07 And that will be quite frustrating I'm sure
06:09 For Max Verstappen
06:10 Oscar Piastri has just put his foot down a bit more here
06:14 And he's closing in on Charles Leclerc
06:16 As you can see that gap that was at roundabout one second
06:19 Is now down to half a second
06:20 And he's broken the DRS threat from Carlos Sainz behind him
06:24 Lando Norris running fourth
06:25 Then George Russell big gap between Norris and Russell
06:28 And then Verstappen, Hamilton, Tsunoda, Albon and Gasly in the top ten
06:31 Charles managing I guess
06:33 Because that was close with Piastri
06:35 One lap he might have sent it
06:38 Meanwhile Max Verstappen is kind of fiddling around on his own
06:43 Having the sort of comfortable middling afternoon
06:47 That he has not made a habit of in the last three seasons
06:51 He's in sixth at the moment
06:52 He went from sixth last time out
06:54 I think it's going to take something for him to do that this afternoon
06:57 This is one minute 18s for the lap times
06:59 They're now back in the 1.19s
07:01 And a little love tap on the barrier from Lando Norris
07:05 I don't think he quite made the barrier did he?
07:08 But that's... yes I think he did
07:11 Left rear didn't he? You're right
07:12 Did he?
07:14 Well anyway
07:15 It says officially one centimetre super close to the wall
07:18 If you can we need to slow down a bit
07:20 Yeah, coming
07:22 What's the scope of that?
07:25 We are preventing McLaren to have a pit stop window
07:30 Because we have no Russian
07:31 This happening?
07:32 I didn't get it
07:34 But that makes me push it to slow speed which I don't like
07:37 He's getting it from both sides on that one
07:40 And you do not want to go any closer to that barrier
07:44 That Carlos Sainz has just put his Ferrari
07:46 Verstappen currently is half a second quicker on the last lap
07:49 And as to Martin, Alain Stroll saying that he has got a puncture
07:55 He's only just come in for a set of tyres
07:57 He's been overtaken by his teammate Fernando Alonso
07:59 And that is the wheel and the tyre hanging on just
08:05 And then rolls away as he gets into the pit lane
08:08 And in terms of the race Martin
08:10 Another 100 metres before the pit lane to go
08:14 Lance Stroll's tyre would have gone off into the middle of the track
08:17 Yeah, and would have caused a safety car
08:19 It looks like it was contained inside the pit lane doesn't it?
08:23 Here's Lance Stroll out of the tunnel towards the Nouvelle Chicane
08:28 We can't see the left rear
08:30 Oh, did he turn in there a bit?
08:31 Yeah, he turned in too early and clipped the left rear
08:33 Yeah, we couldn't see it but I think we all felt it
08:38 And that's when the tyre fell off
08:40 They're readying themselves for a pit stop
08:42 Down at Mercedes and at Red Bull as well
08:45 Is this Hamilton coming in?
08:46 It is
08:47 So Verstappen you would imagine might follow him in too
08:50 Or is he, no Verstappen's carried on on his way
08:54 That's a do whatever he doesn't do moment I would think for Verstappen isn't it?
08:58 And look the gap to Yuki Tsunoda is significant for Lewis Hamilton
09:02 So he doesn't lose position by making a stop
09:06 And he can try and get himself an extra point for a fastest lap in the race
09:09 Oh, Verstappen's in the pits
09:10 There he is
09:11 He certainly is and it's going to be the, I was hoping, hoping it might be the soft tyre
09:16 It's not, it's the hard tyre that Max started the race with like Lewis Hamilton
09:21 But if you're George Russell now, well this is going to be a bit nervous isn't it?
09:24 You got Max Verstappen, where does he come out?
09:27 He comes out on the track ahead of Lewis Hamilton
09:31 On board with Valtteri Bottas currently
09:34 Is there a gap? Is there a gap Valtteri?
09:37 Is there a gap to go for and make a move on Logan Sargent?
09:41 Is that an overtake Martin?
09:43 That is a bona fide in-race
09:46 Morris behind, slow him down so that Russell doesn't pull away too much
09:50 What have you got here in the tunnel?
09:52 This is Lance Stroll, the overtake on Joe Guarniu in the tunnel
09:56 He got so much more traction coming out of Portier
09:59 And this is what I'm thinking if somebody, he's on the soft tyre as well
10:03 So yeah with Verstappen rapidly catching now with George Russell
10:07 Let's see if he can overtake him
10:09 I kind of get the feeling like with the traction advantage you might be able to
10:13 Max Stroll now trying to put pressure on Logan Sargent
10:16 And getting past Logan Sargent
10:18 73rd lap out of 78
10:21 And Charles Leclerc out in front has a cushion of eight and a half seconds here
10:26 I think for the first time in this race he might start to breathe a little more easily now
10:32 Because he's got that big gap to Piastri who does seem to be struggling
10:36 It's about a second a lap Leclerc is going faster than Piastri
10:40 Just a few more corners to go as they rise at the grandstands
10:43 As they have been doing all weekend
10:44 But this time they rise to acclaim Charles Leclerc as a winner
10:50 Here in Monaco for the first time
10:52 The son of a hairdresser is a cut above the rest
10:57 Here in Monaco his hometown, his home run
11:01 Charles Leclerc wins the Monaco Grand Prix
11:04 And that is a fantastic result for team, for family
11:11 And I think for Formula One as well
11:13 Monaco-Asc winning the Monaco Grand Prix
11:16 Wonderful
11:17 This will be as popular in the paddock
11:20 We want it!
11:21 As we remind you, we are in Monaco, and we are here to help you out!
