What is the significance of the Monaco Grand Prix in F1?
Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. Race week once again and I think we can now officially say it's momentum time. We are very much in the slipstream of this season now and we've got races on races and I cannot wait for it. Of course, as you can see right now, we are in our setups because we're of course pre-recording this and to be fair, this is going out before we will fly over because Because we're going to Monaco. We're going to the Monaco Grand Prix. It sounds like we could be up to some very exciting things. So make sure you're following us on Instagram and things like that. Because this is going to be an epic trip. One that I cannot wait for, Tommy.
How do Matt and Tommy feel about the upcoming Monaco race?
And look, if there's a race to go to... Monaco is usually the one because it's obviously very special and it's awesome to go there. We've been there, haven't you been there once for the race? Like actually, that was a few years ago. So it's not like we've been there that many times, but also we can kind of guarantee we're not going to get
a thousand side-by-side incredible overtakes you don't know the new regs you never know um but but it's true it as one to go to the the criticism of you know it's amazing to go it's always exciting but but not knowing kind of every little detail of going on is quite difficult when you're at the race uh whereas monaco when there's two overtakes a race um hopefully not an early safety car and a red flag that that just well it depends yeah i was gonna say let's Charles Leclerc is on pole position. In which case, don't flake me up. But yeah, I'm super excited for it. Excited for this race in general.
What recent news in F1 is worth discussing before predictions?
Very interested to see what the new cars can deliver around this track.
Me too. And whether or not it will shake up any kind of pecking order, because it's a very, very different track, as we all know. Now, before we get into our predictions, let's have a little waffle about the things that have been going on in the world of Formula One. Not a huge amount of things, but some things definitely to sort of cover. One of which is that Gucci. Gucci is joining the grid, not as an actual, you know, they're not the race team, but they are the title sponsor of Alpine next year. So you best believe Matt and Tommy come out the woodwork next year as massive Alpine fans. Grace is going to be dripped head to toe in Gucci because she's always been an Alpine fan from day one. Might not be anymore.
Sure, maybe. Well, why? Wait, why is she not an Alpine fan?
BWT, there'll be no pink anymore.
She won't be interested. That's true, actually.
Yeah, gutted.
Yeah, I've seen some mock liveries of what that car could look like, and I mean, it looks pretty saucy, but I like gold-trimmed anything, so sign me up.
It's going to be either epic or hideous, I think, personally. I think it could be a mix between the two, but yeah, we might see a return to kind of black and gold, like we saw kind of in Team Enstone back when they were Lotus back in the day.
What are the predictions for the Monaco GP qualifying results?
um but yeah it's it's gonna it's an exciting partnership obviously massive for formula one they're shouting about it i may be in the minority that i'll i'll miss the bwt pink because i like the lp to think it looks really cool and really stands out but it's a cool thing for formula one and it is one of those things where when we get to car launches next season it's probably going to be the most anticipated one because you know it's going to be a new livery
Oh, for sure. For sure. So excited to see what that will look like. But I agree. Yeah, the pink is pretty iconic.
Maybe BWT goes somewhere else.
Ferrari. Pink and red. What a livery that would be. Anything but HP. So over to another bit of news, which is, of course, Bottas. Now, this was a rather large rumour circulating around him being replaced. But, Tommy, it seems as though, similar to Ocon in Canada, that this has also been dismissed.
Yeah, obviously, when there's not too much news going on, there always seems to be some kind of rumor going around. And Bottas, let's not kind of beat around the bush, he has been pretty poor, to say the least, in the last couple of races.
