What exciting experiences did the hosts have during the Monaco GP qualifying?
Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. We're here in Monaco. As you all know, probably, there's a car behind us. We're still in the same place we were in practice. But if you didn't watch the practice review and you're here for the qualifying review, we are on a super yacht. Yes, uh... It still doesn't feel real to set up and do our podcast here with an Audi car behind us. Big shout out to Libitex. You know, they've given us this incredible opportunity to be here in Monaco and to live this most ridiculous life that we do not belong to. But we are enjoying the taste of it. And it's... Yeah, what a place to watch a very disastrous quali, which we'll get onto very shortly.
Yeah, it's weird, conflicting emotions right now.
Not for me. Not for me. I've been having a wonderful time and, you know, two absolute legends on the front row and yeah watching it from an amazing location witnessing you know kind of like the crowd cheering and everything it's always really cool to be here and yeah I think we first kind of need to cover that From what we saw anyway, and hopefully it's not just the fact that we're caught up in here, Monaco did deliver in terms of qualifying and the excitement of quali, which we've been hoping for for a long time. We've not had a session like that really all year. The big criticism of these new regulations has been qualifying. And we said, hopefully we get to Monaco and it's still good. And it was very, very, very, very good.
Really exciting.
Yeah, it was just didn't know what was going to happen from Friday. We thought, well, I definitely thought I think we both thought that Ferrari had an excellent shot of getting pole position. Neither of them are on the front row. We'll get on to that shortly. But yeah, just the question marks, not knowing who was going to be fastest was was excellent to watch. And it was constantly changing. Thought McLaren might have had a shout at one point. So we'll get on to all of that. And I also want to say as well, for those of you that commented on the Friday podcast, neither of us were drunk. I need to just say that. We were stone cold sober at the time of recording. We were slightly hungover, but we were not drunk.
We're just very much enjoying our time here in Monaco in the very beautiful weather. And can you blame us? Yeah, can you blame us? You certainly can't. Let's get into Q1, where the bottom six were Ocon, Perez, Behrman, Bottas, Alonso and Stroll.
How did the qualifying session unfold for the teams and drivers?
Now, of course, the big talking point, not that I've read his name out, but that Gabriel Bortoletto, of course, we have an Audi car behind us. I'm really sorry about the P1 curse. Really, really, really, really, really sorry. We're speaking to him in like an hour or so. Yeah, we joked about the P1 curse literally yesterday, and then Portoletto decided to break his front left suspension. So we'll get onto that actually now because, of course, it happened in Q1, but he made Q2 because of the lap time that he did. Audi were looking so, so good, so quick. And where did Hülkenberg end up? He ended up P13 in the end. Yeah. I think that is 100% P1 curse in the flesh. So I really want to apologize to Audi for that because on the run up to qualifying, we thought fifth best team, really great opportunity of scoring points this weekend.
And for Bortoletto, you know, it was over before it really begun.
Yeah, gutting for him. He looked very quick, particularly in Q1, but it's the fine lines of Monaco. We've been watching, we've watched Formula One for so long now. You've seen on-boards, you've seen so many generations of cars. I still wince every time I watch an on-board around Monaco, particularly some of the certain corners, you know, the swimming pool, how close they get to that wall, going into the kind of chicane after the tunnel. It is insane still how close the fine margins and you literally go from looking like a genius to ripping your, you know, your tire off. And that's exactly what happened with Bortoletto. Absolutely gutting for him because, of course, he made it through.
