00:00I can only assume that's the sort of rationale behind that thinking yeah one
00:05quick question I should know this answer so I'm sure I'll be picked up for it but
00:10it's mandatory two pit stops yeah do you have to change tires on the second pit
00:15stop yeah you have to check it you have to change the mandatory two tire
00:20changes it's still awesome seeing one Formula One car out there pushing to the
00:24limit even though it's low grip but uh had you to the line for a second fastest
00:30tire that's that's interesting that that puts Hulkenberg's lap into a little bit
00:35of perspective there we need to keep an eye on that because will will teams do
00:39what Aston Martin did last week and just keep back a set of the mediums to use at
00:44some stage in qualifying yeah a couple of teams were testing it yesterday weren't
00:48they um Williams actually was testing mediums and softs comparing oh that's
00:53Nico Hulkenberg in the final corner has he hit the barrier oh I think he stopped
00:58just at that you can see the time arcs yeah stopped just before hitting the wall
01:02it looks okay doesn't it yeah he's gonna be that was the reason for the yellow
01:07flag exactly what happens I was starting a lap yeah that's strange isn't it so he's
01:13just lost it as he's trying to put his uh his foot down
01:16front inside lockout tires went up to temp I guess show it up in there
01:25went straight on that's what happened there just didn't have the grip there's the Ferrari just
01:33three saying thank you very much it's it's all a load of rubbish we've just got good downforce at the
01:37rear and we're not sliding as much the right quality didn't look as good as the
01:42Ferrari yesterday they were breaking for Sandoval all 20 cars now on track crofty so the two
01:47Mercedes the last two to leave the pit garage there's Alonso just left no Alonso just in his
01:52garage still so he's coming yeah the front looked a lot stronger on that red ball than it did yesterday
01:56through to back he was on the throttle before he hit the apex and Leclerc goes quicker still
02:01Lando Norris Max Verstappen second and third conversations to be had before you get to qualifying
02:06not if you're paying on lap 10 for your second stop yeah that's the only thing so that's what I mean
02:11there's a there's lots of some permutations in that Lando Norris puts three and a half tenths
02:15between itself and Charlotte even if you lose performance later on because the gain is going
02:20to be in that early part Carlos Sainz and Lewis Hamilton getting close together on the entry into
02:26Casino Square Hamilton was going a lot slower tried to get out of the way I could see past the car
02:33that was behind me and an explanation there as to why but he says don't
02:41judge me on total performance or lack of points that was Sonoda ahead of had you know that was
02:48dangerous by you key well Isaac had you know the thing or two about slow moving cars in the tunnel
02:54it just shouldn't happen it's the thing Jensen was saying right play rightly yesterday you should
03:01never ever be going slowly in the tunnel never ever be going slowly in the tunnel ever not on the left-hand side as well
03:05yeah my brother's not ideal okay but it's it's where the light changes as well I mean your eyes take half a second to get used to the sunlight as you come out and that's exactly where
03:18so that as that was no further investigation from the stewards on that one oh and he did
03:24it's a Kimi Antonelli to Gabriel Bortoleto that's where Kimi hit the wall yesterday he's more familiar with every inch of the street than anyone else but he is just
03:33it's spectacular to watch oh yeah I completely blocked me
03:39those medium tires working so so well as it crosses the line to extend his advantage out in front three
03:50tenths now to Charlotte life they yet wanted to explore and actually how many times those
03:56political kisses the barrier there how many times coffee this season have we come out of fp3 and seen
04:01big gaps think about it yeah McLaren's miles ahead of everyone Miami and actually you know when it sort
04:09of shakes out in qualifying the others turn the engines up and it all gets a bit closer so it's
04:14always a little bit dangerous to read too much into the times in the session oh that's naughty
04:18come on Franco so yes he's trying to back up there he's looked in his mirrors he's looked in his mirrors
04:26again he's seen Behrman coming and is he trying to get out of the way or what's he trying to do there
04:33see that that that to me is just nonsensical uh on a hot lap
04:38I mean just with blue flags isn't he
04:43no good
04:45this is Hamilton so sector one for Lewis about a tenth down on max sector two couple of tenths down
04:52on max's best so we'll see if it brings him into the top three no keeps fifth fastest
04:59oh I have a so much incident I don't know why copy uh that's why he's actually backed off on his
05:06current lap he's still got the points in the race though so he'll still be a brimming with confidence
05:11I think coming into this one uh a lot of four wheels sliding into the eighth and the last corner
05:18okay let's have a little look at the last corner then that's the sliding he was two tenths down
05:25on those that he wants to be around about with uh through the first sector Piastri crosses the line
05:30goes sixth fastest he's six tenths down there Hamilton's a lot closer as Gasly moves 15th
05:37Hamilton crosses the line top two something like that go so he lost time in the final sector can you
05:42you know attack and be aggressive to keep the temperature Piastri second fastest behind max
05:48people are going for double calls as well all right will you tell me what you want because
05:53at the moment we're nowhere and I'm uh running out of ideas for this session so we're doing the
05:58double call for her uh traffic management for engineers so oh the club he won so Charles Leclerc uh
06:07to the delight of the local formula one fans in the grandstands pops up right towards the end oh pit
06:17that was big over the curve there when the rear post rear tires leave the ground
06:22that's not normally a positive that was proper airborne there from Lando Norris
06:26and that's the landing for Lando yeah I mean this is the middle of the day
06:36yeah that's the traffic that's why he uh yeah for the middle sector it wasn't his choice
06:42at the casino square and he has on the outside of casino square there is Lewis Hamilton
06:47and he has hit the barriers rear right and that is a red flag
06:51front right and front right too yeah there you go JB the camera pans back we can see the tire
06:58now that's that's a very unusual place for a car to be hitting the barriers it's right on board
07:05up by rivage we go Massonet is the long left-hander and then we get into casino square and see exactly oh
07:13and that's where it started so it was Massonet that was exactly where Fernando Alonso hit I mean I don't
07:20know what he was going to do if he did get if he didn't crash because he's going to crash to the
07:23cars in front guys get the wall damn sorry guys
07:31yeah but this is the problem you're arriving at such a high speed there on the limit and you've got a car in
07:36front which is losing you all your downforce on entry so you know it's it's Lewis's mistake but I
07:41mean he's he's definitely not in a it's not an easy situation for him at that point uh what did you say
07:47crushed uh Lewis in turn three
07:56practice three for the Monaco Grand Prix and Charles Leclerc fastest again he returns as the winner from last
08:05year and so far no one's been able to catch him in the practice sessions but now it starts to get a
08:09bit serious Verstappen setting his fastest time on the medium tire who will use the medium tires in
08:15qualifying and when Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri third and fourth Hamilton fifth Ferrari with a slight
08:21rebuild on his car in the next couple of hours uh Franco Colopinto has been noted for a red flag
08:29infringement could that be another penalty coming did he overtake as Ollie Bearman did yesterday
08:35stewards will be looking at that one out of place Kimi Antonelli George Russell down in 11th place
08:41where's Mercedes pace for this one there's a lot of questions still to be answered and in qualifying
08:47they will finally be done done so what a practice session that was
