 Hey everyone and welcome to a new format of the Formula 1 race debrief. We're gonna focus on five key points of the race. Five two watch points from five key points moving to five two watch points. I'm still in Indianapolis at my engineer's place. Those pictures behind me are made by Kate, his wife and they're really good. I think I'm right here. There's Tecomo, Saddo, Silas and Bode. Anyway, Monaco. Many things to talk about. The win for Perez and his contract extension. The rain, really good race from Gasly, Auckland Hamilton penalty. So let's go. The first point to watch is Ferrari. Ferrari pod position. First rope locked. One two in the race. Two and four. How can that happen? That shouldn't happen in Monaco when you're first and two in qualifying. You should be one and two at the end of the race. They would not be sent to Charles when he asked for inters. They got undercut by Perez. They went too late. They even got undercut by Verstappen and Sainz. Came to the pit. Inters straight dry. Double stack pit stop. Lost time. That's not good for Ferrari. That's not good for Charles Leclerc. Barcelona should have won the race. Engine issue. Monaco should have won the race. Strategy issue. E-Modai was on for P2. It's fun. So that's a lot of points gone for Charles and Ferrari. Obviously the season is not over, but they started 2020 very strong because in 2021 they completely stopped developing the car to focus on 2022 whilst Red Bull was actually fighting for the whole championship in 2021. So I see Red Bull being getting stronger and stronger and Ferrari may not have what it takes to fight them. I hope they do. But my feeling is that it's going to go more towards Red Bull. But again, I may be wrong. The other point to watch and not to watch is the delay. One hour delay of the race start. Yes, the first water. It was too much water at the beginning. When they launched the race, started the race, first of all it was a bit messy. Just a communication. Then the race went behind the safety card and too much rain. Red flag was the right thing. What I don't understand is after the red flag, two things. First thing is why did the driver had to be on extreme tires and not didn't have the choice, right? Some of them would have started on inters. And second point. I wish we've had a standing start. You can do standing start on a race. You normally use a second gear. Very light, very gentle on the throttle. Drop the clutch slowly and roll from there. So it's possible. And I think it would have been interesting to see who gets a better start and change a bit the order. But I felt like the communication around the delay wasn't the best. Could have been done better. I've dealt with better. But that was a point maybe not to watch, right? Make sure to make a big crash. I don't know why the car got split in two pieces. Yeah, it's a decent impact into a fast part of the circuit. But it was very strange to understand why the rear end went away from the front end while the gearbox was broken. Watch the crash. Tell me what you think. But I'm a bit confused in why did the car split in two parts. Kevin Manusen pointed right that with the budget cap, it'd be nice that the budget doesn't go into reapering car but developing car. Because he knows that it's not one of the strengths from Haas. And Mika's already crashed in everyone in Jeddah, I believe. That's another everyone. So it's a lot of damage on the car. That makes it very hard for the budget cap. You know, we've been hearing the top team saying it's going to be struggling to stay underneath it. And Kevin wants to upgrade. He wants to do well. He had an engine failure. Qualifying didn't go that way. But they looked fast out there. So that was good to see. Gasly started 17th, finished 11th. If you want to have a clear view of how a driver set up a pass, you should watch Gasly on board. It was really, really good to see. He didn't overtake on the braking zone like he would expect. He would cross over obviously on the inters. He was much faster than everyone on the extreme. But saying so in Monaco is very hard to pass. So he had to be creative. He had to open the entry. He tried to cut, go around. Yeah, fine ways of overtaking in Monaco. That's tough. It wasn't well-paid because he didn't get points at the end. But still, it was a good drive. It was fun to watch. I especially liked the one outside, inside of the exit of the Tabak corner. It's definitely our place to overtake. Can't remember who he got out there. But he pushed it to close on the inside. Opened the entry, cut mid-corner, went on throttle, had a bit of a wheel spin there, but managed to overtake before the swing put. And that's a very cool overtake manoeuvre there. And then we had Orkon versus Hamilton. So Orkon got penalized five-second time penalty. But it's not for the contact that they made in turn one, as a lot of people thought. It is for Orkon that actually, later in the race, completely squeezed Lewis against a guardrail on the pitch exit. The first manoeuvre was racing. Robbing is racing, right? Lewis tried. He didn't have the momentum going into the corner. Orkon kind of knew that, closed the door. They made small contact. But that was okay. The second one, it's not easy. It's not a bad move. It's just a little bit late for Orkon, I think. On the straight line, he can open a little bit, so Lewis goes in and then he closes down. It doesn't really react to Lewis' move. It doesn't look like it does react to Lewis' move, but it's squeezing really hard against the guardrail a lot. They weren't a car with. And that's what you're supposed to kind of leave a car with, with the other car, right? If you know it's going to be there. So I think it was, I don't know. Clumsy is not the word, but it was just like a little bit unnecessary. I was trying hard and, you know, Monaco is a tough one. But at that point, Lewis was so much faster than Orkon that, again, the first battle was really good. Orkon was playing very well. He was trying mid-track. It wasn't 11 Lewis to go around. And that was pretty good to see. The first robbing was racing. There's someone I felt just wanted a little bit too far. That's why Orkon got a penalty. So I kind of, you know, if it was for the first contact, I would say, why would you get a penalty there? But that one, yeah. I think that one is a five second penalty. And that's kind of sadly for Orkon deserve. Next race in two weeks, Baku. That's going to be something. Baku is always a lot of good racing. I think Red Bull is going to be strong there. But I'm looking to see if Ferrari can get to top speed. I'm looking forward to see if Mercedes can get the car to be faster. They've always been pretty good in Baku. Looking forward to see what the midfield was. It's going to be an exciting track, definitely. With a huge straight line. But yeah, Monaco is always, it's the race that you want to win the race in the year. It's the most lame race of the calendar. It's not the most interesting one on TV. And there's a lot of talk about, shall we change Monaco or not? I don't think so. I think just the cars got too long, too wide for Monaco. But I don't really want to see the track being changed. It's almost like we need a different car for Monaco. A smaller one, a Formula 1 car. Maybe a Formula 2 or something like that. Just for Monaco. But I love that race. You do the race on Saturday in qualifying. And you want to make sure you get it right. Baku is kind of the opposite. Baku is so much top speed straight line. The Arizona zone that you actually do the race on Sunday and not on Saturday. So it's going to be exciting to watch. Please always make sure that you leave me a comment, to subscribe, your like. I'll speak with you very soon.
