shair wins The Monaco Grand Prix it’s mission accomplished Destiny fulfilled you’ve got that one forever it was definitely a very very special moment a moment I will never forget I will keep inside me forever could it be going from bad to worse for the championship leader no he can’t stop and he has gone straight on he’s angry he’s frustrated he’s dissecting his own car oh and it’s going to come to nothing oh dear L clur really with great Pace at this stage and he is absolutely taken off fantastic stuff from lur could be contact and is between Robert visu and Lou deatra and AAR straight away has responded Shar immediately into the pits we are because andit of the safety car so we are people on track on come on thing we can do they put the safety car in front of us L clar will be absolutely Furious for there something could it be going from bad to worse for the championship leader because that’s not just a tiny vibration that doesn’t look like it’s on properly and that’s what he said on the radio that’s the problem of Monte Carlo you need luck you need the Perfection and a small details can make you lose the race so so is the good and the lovely of this place Monte Carlo is difficult to win now is it still on he checking it out weaving it to side to side it still doesn’t look completely right and here comes lur back into the pits and this is a sad sight to see for a driver that has been so impressive this year it’s Ron luck at his home [Music] event look be has got the problem we need to open the Gap as much as you can we are doing a good job so what is the cla’s problem and is the Clair actually going to go for it here and oh he can’t stop and he has gone straight on into Brandon Harley you could see that that was coming charl Clair’s first ever home Grand Prix in Monaco has ended with retirement and big damage as well to the Toro Roso of Brendan Harley soon as he HD the brakes puff of black carbon dust and break failure then it won’t slow down he did actually rub the barrier but the problem came before that shair man sending shock waves through Formula 1 with his potential for the future sending shock waves through the back of Brandon Harley’s toor Roso there Char Clair locks up oh down at rasc by a matter of centimeters he avoids the barrier there lir gets away with it cost him dearly as well really did so lar needs to calm down a little bit Sebastian fedel now crosses the line goes fastest by 10 of a second and charir is out of qualifying the monagas racer who was fastest in fp3 is knocked out in q1 as his teammate Sebastian fedel right at the last gas goes quickest overall Charlotte Clair gets past Lando Norris and up into 13th Place that was pretty bold and uh you you need a compliant rival at some point in there the Ferrari has got through I’m afraid the defense from Roman Gran at the third time of asking didn’t pay off there and lir did get through at rascas you got to hand it to lir that was pretty smart oh that one didn’t work it didn’t work at all Charlotte cla’s gone for it again this time he Tangles with the Renault the Gap was there but quickly it disappeared he hit the barrier with his right and and it’s pushed it’s pushed him around it’s actually his own contact he’s angry he’s frustrated he’s dissecting his own car Shir retires from his home race and what a wretched home race it’s been for him oh and it’s going to come to nothing for Max ven he might have been setting the pace but sha llaa the man on pole has gone into the barriers the red flag has come out with only 18 seconds remaining that is it for qualifying lair’s on pole but he’s crashed and he’s ended the session early and the man who could deny him has been thwarted so lir guarantees his own pole position and he guarantees his mechanics an awful lot of work it’s a shame to finish in the wall it uh it doesn’t feel the same but at the same time I’m incredibly happy about my first time lab I’ve I’ve always been very unlucky here so let’s let’s wait and see you worried about the gearbox because the rear took a bit of a hit would that be a penalty I am butth let’s see no no no no the G bugs guys the glory for Char de Clair has completely disappeared it’s despair for L Clair he won’t start they put all their money on red that that gearbox would be okay despite a sizable run into the wall at the end of yesterday’s qualifying and they lost it came up black we prepare for what could be one of the most unpredictable races at this venue we are racing and look at the sliding that’s going on even down the straight as they head down toward sand Devon the first of the Front Runners to come into the pit Ferrari going to have to react to this with charlot Clair therez is going to massively undercut the Monas driver and into the pitch then comes our race leader charl lir and that is Perez is it going past that was Perez taking the lead there box hot hard box out so you stay out there a bit longer on the wet when you might be losing out to people on intermediates but then you switch to the scks and box now box box now box for hard stay out St stay out stay out what it’s a Ferrari double p stop they’re going for slicks victory in Monaco goes to Sergio Perez for Red Bull and charl llaa will be bitterly disappointed having led the early stages and be no words no words oh season is long but we cannot do that this is charl Clair chasing po position number three on home territory he’s trying to take it away as he comes across the line the crowd are roaring in Monaco because charlot Clair has got there and it’s time to listen to the cheers and the Applause because the hot favorite for Paul has delivered at home the excitement is so high that uh yeah it’s uh it feels really good however now I know more of and than not in the past qualifying is not everything as much as it helps a lot for Sunday’s race we need to put everything together coming the Sunday and in the past years we didn’t manage to do so but we are a stronger team we are in a stronger position and I’m sure we can achieve great things for more and obviously the win is the Target today 93 years from Louis chiron’s win our poter dreams of a seminal Victory this is Char Clair’s date with Destiny it is a Formula 1 classic like no other and the Monaco Grand Prix is underway as lir gets the launch that he needed oh my word that is a massive accident yeah big big crash and thankfully um all of the drivers able to get out of their cars we’re underway and racing once again on the streets of Monaco Charla Clair maintains the lead once again I can’t imagine he’s feeling too comfortable there he is measuring the pace he can fluctuated as he likes he’s now on this lap a second slower than the lap before and that’s why piastra is right with him but when you have the bright yellow car in your mirror that close that was less than 3/10 into the best overtaking place on the circuit p is only about half a car from throwing a lunge just for your info I think I have around I mean do you want to know the mar no Charles we’re not interested we know you said all right no we are not interested that’s rude sorry these Grand stands have not seen a home win winner in 93 years it’s nearly there I’ll just bring it home thank you that was slow down please sh there’s no need for you to be in the 1 minute 15 this is going to be special stuff for charlot clir his career was finished without the intervention of the late je biani who said to Ferrari you’ve got to take this guy you’ve got to make sure that he gets to Formula 1 and what a gift that was to give in 2017 Charla clir lost his father and in his final days he told his father a white lie that he’d made it to Formula 1 that he’d signed the contract it wasn’t true then but his driving has made it true now and look what he’s done with the opportunity the grand stands he saw built as a kid growing up now rise for him and for the first time in 93 years this fable race is won by one of their own sh Clair wins The Monaco Grand Prix to achieve his dream victory in his home race well done shac Clair it’s mission accomplished Destiny filled you’ve got that one forever we won it finally yes yes yes yes yes a when your home race includes memories of waiting with your friends to get on the school bus when he’s looking up at the balcony where he first watched the Grand Prix that’s more than special that’s pure emotion for sh Clair and the party starts right now for Monaco’s favorite sun and even the prince is getting in on the action the because when one of your own have won the most famous Grand Prix of the lot you’ve got a party I never believed in the curse however it always felt very difficult in the two occasions I had to to win here the thing is that as a driver you never really know when will be the next opportunity to win and uh especially when it’s your home race and uh even more so when your home race is Monaco that is such a special truck such a difficult truck and such a difficult weekend to to master and to to do everything everything perfectly I did not only accomplish my own dream but also the one of of my father it was uh definitely a very very special
