00:00:00The Monaco Grand Prix on ITV. Fortune's change on the spin of a wheel.

00:00:04Red 3, the Ferrari of Michael Schumacher, is the favourite number to hit the jackpot.

00:00:10Let's join our two high rollers, shall we?

00:00:12Martin Brundle, again the Royal Television Society's Sports Pundit of the Year,

00:00:15and Murray Walker. Afternoon, Murray.

00:00:18Afternoon, Jim. Well, this is Monaco as I remember it,

00:00:22because it's two weeks later this year, and just look at that fabulous picture.

00:00:26The sun is shining, the sky is blue, it's hot, hot, hot.

00:00:30There's fantastic tension here, and like the punters at the Monaco Casino,

00:00:36I am looking for a miracle here in the very near future.

00:00:40The miracle will be if they all get round that first corner

00:00:44at the bottom left of the map on your screens, to the left of the letter F,

00:00:49because that is the notorious Saint-Denis, that you are looking at now.

00:00:54Soon, 22 cars will be arriving at that in one solid lump,

00:00:58with 800 horsepower propelling each of them.

00:01:01It's a very different grid this year.

00:01:04Michael Schumacher up front for the 25th time in his career,

00:01:09but next to him, Jarno Trulli, and behind Jarno Trulli in the second Jordan

00:01:14is Heinz-Harald Frensen, as we look at his serene Highness there,

00:01:20hearing the Monaco national anthem.

00:01:24¶¶

00:01:55¶¶

00:02:01So, 77 last week, Prince of Rainier,

00:02:05one of the younger fellows as far as I'm concerned,

00:02:08and I was saying I'm looking for that minute miracle,

00:02:11and they are going to get all round the corner on the first lap,

00:02:15because the tension here is going to be absolutely terrific.

00:02:19It is now, but they need an enormous amount of concentration

00:02:23to last 78 laps of this race.

00:02:25Only eight cars finished last year.

00:02:27It's tremendously tiring, and as ever, strategy is going to be very, very important.

00:02:32We're expecting only one pit stop,

00:02:35but last year there was a very late pit stop from Heinz-Harald Frensen.

00:02:40He came in on his 57th lap,

00:02:42and I'm expecting quite a lot of them to come in round about lap 50 on this lap.

00:02:46Agree or disagree?

00:02:48Well, the optimum is just over half distance,

00:02:50so I think Michael Schumacher will be taking that route.

00:02:53He'll be expecting to get into the first corner first

00:02:55and scamper off into the distance.

00:02:58He can't really two-stop,

00:02:59because you never know when he might get caught out with a pace car situation

00:03:03and your advantage is eroded as you're trundling around behind a pace car.

00:03:07But he'll certainly be able to have a little bit less fuel on board on the start than the others.

00:03:11I imagine that the Jordans will be running quite heavy,

00:03:15and that could pose a great problem for the two McLaren drivers,

00:03:18who I believe may well have a faster car in race trim than the Jordans,

00:03:22and then there'll be quite a disorderly queue behind them, I'd imagine, Murray.

00:03:27Yeah, the real problem is the midfield.

00:03:29It's whether people like Jenson Button, who's down at 14th,

00:03:32Mikasalo, Wurz in front of him, Eddie Irvine, who's in 10th position,

00:03:36even Ralph Schumacher, who's an excellent 9th in the Williams BMW,

00:03:40are going to get round that first corner.

00:03:42Those were the eyes of Jarno Trulli.

00:03:44Here is David Coulthard, third on the grid,

00:03:48and in front of David Coulthard, the Scarlett McLaren of four times

00:03:53Monaco Grand Prix winner, Michael Schumacher.

00:03:57As I said, it's 78 laps. There is not a seat to be found here.

00:04:01There's not even standing room on the banks just beneath the Royal Palace,

00:04:05which overlook the Rascasse corner and the Antonino corner.

00:04:10That's turn 17, the last.

00:04:12The banks are solid with people, most of them wearing Ferrari red,

00:04:17because many, many of them are from Italy, looking for the man you see

00:04:21front left there with his new helmet livery, incidentally.

00:04:25Nearly all red instead of all blue, as it used to be in his Benetton

00:04:29and recent Ferrari days, Michael Schumacher with the yellow

00:04:32from the German flag behind.

00:04:35So, Michael Schumacher to the right, the yellow Jordan of Jarno Trulli.

00:04:39Behind that is Heinz-Harald Frentzen, and away they go on the formation lap.

00:04:45Green lights, there will soon be those five reds,

00:04:49and when they go out, it will be the start of the 78-58 Monaco Grand Prix,

00:04:54one of the most historic races in the calendar,

00:04:57the only real street circuit that is left.

00:05:00Yes, wouldn't it be nice to see Jaguar and Jordan have a good day today?

00:05:04I really wish they could get some points and tighten that championship up a little bit

00:05:07and turn it around, but you have to say, there are three drivers

00:05:10that have had the pace all through the weekend,

00:05:12the two Maka boys and Michael Schumacher,

00:05:15but it was Baron Keller who was fastest this morning, as I know you said earlier, Murray,

00:05:18and I spoke to him, and he's really pumped up.

00:05:20He said the car is so much better, but the track conditions now

00:05:24will be totally different to the 9.30 warm-up this morning.

00:05:27We've got a lot of temperature out there.

00:05:29This race is much later this year than normal,

00:05:31and it certainly has meant completely different weather conditions.

00:05:34You could almost always guarantee you'd have one wet day at the Monaco Grand Prix,

00:05:38but this year it's been glorious.

00:05:40The downside of that is the track temperature is over 40 degrees centigrade,

00:05:44and there was a quick shot of Coulthard sitting on the line there.

00:05:47They were blowing a fan that's normally used to cool the engine at him,

00:05:50and I know the drivers are getting immensely hot inside the cars.

00:05:54Well, they've exited the unique feature of Monaco,

00:05:58and that is the tunnel underneath the Grand Hotel,

00:06:01which replaced the old, original, much shorter tunnel.

00:06:05And Diniz has just left the line here in the Sauber,

00:06:08so he's the best part of a lap behind.

00:06:10Now, he's got to get to the back of the grid before the light procedure starts,

00:06:14otherwise he must go down the pit lane.

00:06:16Yeah, he won't be able, as they can if they start a bit earlier than that,

00:06:20to be able to take up his original position,

00:06:23which was 19th on the grid. That's where he qualified.

00:06:26He'll have to start from the back.

00:06:27I think he'll be all right, actually,

00:06:29because they're threading their way round the Rascasse now,

00:06:32and into Turn 16 and 17, the last on the circuit lap.

00:06:36Yes, on a circuit like this, it's very slow, relatively speaking,

00:06:39just a 90-mile-an-hour average,

00:06:41plus the temperature of the day we've been talking about

00:06:43as Michael Schumacher comes past our comedy box window

00:06:46here to take up his position.

00:06:48You get a lot of heat soak, and it can give you vapour in the fuel system,

00:06:52and that's probably why Diniz's car wouldn't start.

00:06:55Well, now, it's going to last about an hour and 40 minutes, this race.

00:06:59They're going to be changing gear about every two and a half seconds.

00:07:03Just think of that.

00:07:04Michael Schumacher's speed average over his pole position lap

00:07:08was 95 miles an hour around this circuit.

00:07:11Quite amazing.

00:07:13Yes, and if you remember last year here,

00:07:15the two Ferraris on the right-hand side of the grid,

00:07:17your left, their right, absolutely scammed.

00:07:20And somebody, it's a Benetton, I think, down there,

00:07:22has stalled the engine.

00:07:23So that must be Wurz, I would imagine.

00:07:25Stalled the engine, so that will be a restart situation, Mary.

00:07:28They'll have to restart, and Wurz will have to stay at the back of the grid.

00:07:32It's Alexander Wurz. He's 12th in position.

00:07:35You see the orange lights flashing there.

00:07:37That means the start, which didn't happen, has been aborted, if you follow me.

00:07:41And that will not be at all welcome.

00:07:44They're going to have to do another lap.

00:07:46Yes, and we've got some very, very hot Formula 1 cars sitting on the grid now.

00:07:50They were sitting there a good half minute, a slow lap round.

00:07:53So, as I was talking about, a lot of heat soak now coming up into the engines.

00:07:57That can cause problems.

00:07:59And I remember vividly the time when Michael Schumacher stalled his Ferrari on the grid,

00:08:05and when he was in pole position.

00:08:07So out come the mechanics, out come the trolleys,

00:08:10out come the starter motors, the electric starter motors,

00:08:13and the tension ebbs just a little.

00:08:17Yes, look, they're putting the fans on the McLaren.

00:08:19They know what they've got to do to get rid of that heat.

00:08:22And the mechanics haven't just dragged all of the equipment back to their garage.

00:08:26They've now got to go back.

00:08:28And the restart procedure Ferrari, of course, they're at the sharp end of the grid,

00:08:33which is at the extreme opposite end to where their garage is.

00:08:36So Ferrari with a big job to do to get back there and sort Michael Schumacher's car out.

00:08:41I wonder what's going through Michael's mind at the moment,

00:08:44because there is a precedent for this where Schumacher in pole position, as I just said,

00:08:49stalled on the grid and they had to abort the start.

00:08:52And he had to start from the back, as Alexander Wurz will have to.

00:08:56And Wurz is not going to be a very popular man on the grid for all the trouble he has caused.

00:09:01He's in enough trouble already.

00:09:02That's the dry ice going into the pods from the Ferrari and the other cars

00:09:07to try and keep those radiators cool to stop the heat soak

00:09:10or to reduce it to the minimum that Martin was telling you about.

00:09:13Wurz, as I was just saying, is under duress.

00:09:17He's having a very difficult time to keep his place in the Benetton team.

00:09:21And this won't help him.

00:09:23What will happen now is that that lap they've done will count as part of the race.

00:09:27Obviously, there'll be one less racing lap now.

00:09:29But this is a great chance for us to take a break.

00:11:41The restart is going to be in one minute's time.

00:11:45When I say the restart, I mean of the formation lap.

00:11:48Yes, 14.08 local time.

00:11:50We think they're preparing Wurz's spare car in the pits

00:11:54because it seems as if the car was actually smoking.

00:11:57You can see the gap down there.

00:11:58It's gone now where Wurz's car was.

00:12:00We think it was smoking as he came to the line.

00:12:03Engine smoke.

00:12:04So Wurz, I think, will have to start from the pit lane.

00:12:06No cost to him now.

00:12:07He would have had to start last anyway.

00:12:09So Wurz will start from the pit lane once the pack has gone.

00:12:13And remember, it's not going to be a 78-lap race now.

00:12:16It's going to be a 77-lap race.

00:12:23Hand clutches for the majority of the drivers.

00:12:26Some of them are using a top clutch still.

00:12:28Michael Schumacher went back to Fiorano in Italy on Friday

00:12:34when everybody else was having a rest day

00:12:36to practice his starts,

00:12:38to make sure, in a situation where they're not allowed to practice starts at Monaco,

00:12:43that he would be really ready for it when the lights go out here.

00:12:47Yes, they look like they're struggling to get Wurz's car done in time.

00:12:51They're obviously set up for Fisichella, by the looks of it.

00:12:53And they're significantly different in physical size, Fisichella and Wurz.

00:12:58They may struggle to get that car ready to join the start.

00:13:02You're absolutely right.

00:13:03You're absolutely right.

00:13:04I did my usual check on who's got the spare cars.

00:13:06A lot of the teams here have got four cars.

00:13:08McLaren and Ferrari, Jaguar have got four cars and so have Prost.

00:13:13But Benetton have not.

00:13:15And the car is set up for Giancarlo Fisichella.

00:13:18He's much shorter and stockier than the tall, lanky Alexander Wurz.

00:13:23It normally takes them about 12 minutes to change the car,

00:13:27to change the pedals, to change the seats,

00:13:29to change the safety belts and everything else that they have to do.

00:13:32I think they'll probably be all right.

00:13:34But now you see the pits are being filled up.

00:13:38The pit lane is being filled up because the circuit itself has been vacated.

00:13:43Well, the Italians call the spare car the muletto, the mule, I guess.

00:13:47But I'm not quite sure why we all call it the T-car.

00:13:49I didn't know that one, so I can't remember now.

00:13:51You would throw that one at me.

00:13:53It's training. It's the training car.

00:13:55It is the training car, Martin. Yes.

00:14:00Sorry to drop that hot potato on you.

00:14:02I was ready for it, actually,

00:14:04because somebody asked me exactly the same question yesterday.

00:14:07They also asked me why... No, I won't tell you that now.

00:14:10Because they're coming through at the end of the formation lap,

00:14:13the second formation lap, for the start of the 17.7 lap

00:14:17Monaco Grand Prix of the year 2000 Y2K

00:14:22with Michael Schumacher in pole position,

00:14:25with Jarno Trulli, who said, and you heard him,

00:14:27I make a good start and I would hope to be leading into the first corner.

00:14:31Yes, but I think Trulli was nervous in the press conference

00:14:34straight after his front row qualifying yesterday.

00:14:36I thought he was nervous when I spoke to him.

00:14:38And the last thing he needed was a false start,

00:14:40because that's the period of time where it's most difficult

00:14:43to keep yourself under control.

00:14:45Yeah, and this is Michael Schumacher's 133rd Grand Prix.

00:14:50He has won 39 of them,

00:14:53only two less than the great Ayrton Senna,

00:14:56whose points, totally, he has already succeeded,

00:14:59beaten to become the second highest in history.

00:15:02And the Monaco Grand Prix is...

00:15:07Go, go, go!

00:15:09Schumacher gets away, Trulli slots in front of David Coulthard,

00:15:14and the grid order is maintained with Heinz-Harald Fritzsen in fourth position.

00:15:18But Mika Häkkinen is still in fifth position,

00:15:21so there is no change as they climb up to the Hotel de Paris.

00:15:24Ralf Messonnier, the left-hander, through Casino Square.

00:15:28Yes, everybody got away very poorly, and I'm not surprised.

00:15:31The red light was on for so long there.

00:15:34The red lights seem to be forever going out,

00:15:36and I'm sure all the drivers were chomping at the bit there.

00:15:39It's unusual, and normally it's just over three seconds and it's away.

00:15:42And there's Häkkinen making a good move on Fritzsen.

00:15:44Red flag!

00:15:46Wow!

00:15:47I think the computer is out, Murray.

00:15:49I think that's probably why it's a red flag.

00:15:50There's no data come up.

00:15:53Oh, look at that!

00:15:54Well, this is the worst possible thing that could happen at Monaco.

00:15:58First of all, we get an aborted start.

00:16:00Then we get the computer sticking and the race restarted again.

00:16:03Now we've got this kerfuffle, and let's have a look and see what it's the two arrows you see.

00:16:08That's Jos Verstappen in the orange arrows,

00:16:11who was nerfed from the inside there.

00:16:14I think it was Jenson Button gave him a little tap on the back wheel there

00:16:18as they went into Grand Hairpin there.

00:16:21But we've got no data on the computer at all

00:16:24as they've gone through the various sectors on this lap.

00:16:28And I suspect there's been some kind of power failure.

00:16:30Certainly the red flag was out long before this little car park.

00:16:34Well, the whole of Formula One, like the whole of our lives these days,

00:16:41seems to be controlled by computers.

00:16:43The cars trip a computer mechanism as they cross the line

00:16:48so that we all get their times and the gaps in between.

00:16:51And in many ways, the old way was the best, but not here today.

00:16:56Well, they're going to have to send men out with starters.

00:16:58They can't haul all of those cars off the track.

00:17:00They'll have to switch the cars off.

00:17:02They'll be fried in about a minute, which they've already had much more than.

00:17:06Parked there at Grand Hotel Hairpin.

00:17:09Nobody got away well.

00:17:11I think everybody was surprised just how long the red lights stayed on.

00:17:14Ralph, a reasonable start there,

00:17:16but sort of general chaos.

00:17:18They did well to all get through the first corner.

00:17:20But if they're still down there at the Grand Hairpin,

00:17:24they'll have to switch the engines off.

00:17:26And they can't just crane them off the circuit.

00:17:28They'll have to send men out there with starters, I would have thought.

00:17:30Well, if Jarno Trulli was a bit nervous, he thought, before Martin,

00:17:34he's going to be even more nervous now

00:17:37as we look at him sitting in the Jordan in the second position on the grid.

00:17:41Michael Schumacher, of course, has been there, done that,

00:17:43whatever it is in Formula One.

00:17:45And he's a very cool, calm, collected customer anyway.

00:17:48Well, there is the Jordan being...

00:17:50This is the third time that a Jordan has been involved in a real happening this year

00:17:55because Pedro de la Rosa went into the barrier very heavily this morning.

00:17:59That looks a bit like an arrows to me,

00:18:01but here's the car park that we were talking about,

00:18:04and they've switched them all off.

00:18:05They had to.

00:18:06As I said, the engines would just melt.

00:18:08And I really think they should allow the mechanics out there to start those cars up.

00:18:12Oh, David Coulthard climbing over the barrier.

00:18:16Yes, I'm sorry.

00:18:17An orange arrows that was being craned off the circuit.

00:18:21And the arrows team has had a very tough time here altogether

00:18:25because Verstappen's been off.

00:18:26You can see the blower there pushing cold air

00:18:29because there's an icebox there as well,

00:18:31pushing cold air into the engine compartment of Schumacher's Ferrari.

00:18:35Yes, because the overflow system on the radiator system is just like Eurocar.

00:18:39It's going to be a total loss system if they get any expansion.

00:18:43And obviously they can't get that water back in, can't get any water back in.

00:18:46In fact, at this point, if they're declaring a restart,

00:18:48they can't add anything to the car whatsoever,

00:18:51certainly by way of fuel or change the tyres.

00:18:54But I'm going to be very surprised.

00:18:57This is an unusual situation, I have to say,

00:18:59but I'm going to be very surprised if they basically make those drivers abandon those cars.

00:19:03That's Genet's car that you're looking at now,

00:19:05the Minardi of Marc Genet,

00:19:07who's straddling the cockpit.

00:19:08You can see his left leg is out and his foot is on the ground.

00:19:11His right leg is in the cockpit.

00:19:13There's a Prost down there.

00:19:15There's Jenson Button's car.

00:19:17There's the Sauber in the background.

00:19:20Behind the Sauber, there's one of the two BARs.

00:19:23And then finally, Mazzacane in the second Minardi.

00:19:26News from James Allen.

00:19:27Yes, Murray, I'm down here in the pit lane.

00:19:29There seems to be a lot of confusion, I've talked with Ferrari and McLaren.

00:19:31They have no idea why this race was stopped before the incident at the Lowe's hairpin.

00:19:35I'm now with Eddie Jordan.

00:19:36Have you shed any light on this?

00:19:37Well, it has to be that incident,

00:19:40because I can't believe that that incident wasn't already reported back.

00:19:45There's no other reason for it.

00:19:46And, you know, perhaps in hindsight,

00:19:48it looks as if there's no way the race could have continued.

00:19:51The place is completely blocked.

00:19:53And that's the only reason that I can possibly imagine as to why it was stopped.

00:19:56But the way we were looking at it, the red flags were up before the accident happened, Eddie.

00:19:59I think that's just a matter of...

00:20:01I think if you actually got your time switch out

00:20:03and had a look back and replayed the action,

00:20:05you'll find there's absolutely no reason for the race to be stopped,

00:20:08and that's why they would have done it.

00:20:09So let's talk a little bit about nerves now, Eddie,

00:20:11because your driver's on the front row.

00:20:12You've got another one on the second row of the grid.

00:20:13Obviously, you're pretty keyed up before the start.

00:20:15You've had an aborted start and now a second restart.

00:20:18How are they feeling right now?

00:20:20Well, I can only imagine that they are very uptight.

00:20:24Just want to get this thing started,

00:20:26because it's not helping anyone.

00:20:28It's not helping the viewers.

00:20:29It's certainly not helping us here in the pits.

00:20:30So you can imagine what it's doing to the drivers.

00:20:32It's also not helping the engines.

00:20:34The ambient here is extremely high,

00:20:36and there is no air flowing around the circuit.

00:20:39And what's actually happening is that you get this air

00:20:44that's very weak and very hard for the drivers.

00:20:47The adrenaline is going to play a big part in this race,

00:20:49and the fitness of the drivers is going to be key.

00:20:51Okay, we're looking at a replay of this incident.

00:20:53It's obviously a huge blockage. Back to you, Murray.

00:20:56Well, you can see what happened there.

00:20:57Jenson Button, the right-hand wheel,

00:21:01front wheel of Jenson Button Williams,

00:21:03went in between the two wheels,

00:21:05left-hand side of Pedro de la Rosa's arrows.

00:21:08I'm right opposite now.

00:21:10Josfa Stappan's arrows, which is 15th on the grid.

00:21:13Pedro de la Rosa was 16th on the grid,

00:21:15and his car isn't here.

00:21:17You've seen it craned off.

00:21:18So if they've got the third arrows ready,

00:21:22and remember, it was virtually destroyed this morning,

00:21:24and they've got no replacement.

00:21:26They haven't got four cars here.

00:21:27There he is, running in.

00:21:30He will have to turn out in the car

00:21:32that's been rebuilt since this morning,

00:21:34and that is Jenson Button running in.

00:21:36So Williams have got four cars here.

00:21:39I think Eddie Jordan was probably right.

00:21:41I think the first we saw of that incident

00:21:43was as a replay and not real time.

00:21:45There were certainly no red flags hanging out

00:21:48at Grand Hairpin before,

00:21:50as they had that incident on the corner there.

00:21:53So that could well have been the red flag situation.

00:21:57There certainly was no computer information up here,

00:22:00and we get the same stuff as the teams, by and large.

00:22:03Also, I'm very surprised that red light was on

00:22:05so long on the grid.

00:22:06So maybe there's other problems as well.

00:22:08There's the drivers all having to scamper back.

00:22:10We're going to find out what's happening.

00:22:11We'll be back very shortly.

00:22:27Le long manqueur des pieds pour venir retrouver

00:22:32le fils de départ pour Yacine Bidot.

00:22:42Là, il y a l'arrivée de Yacine,

00:22:44qui va certainement encourager Yacine Bidot.

00:22:57C'è, ieri si era fatto sotto questo sole,

00:23:00è un arrestino, è un gran premio pudistico

00:23:03per il povero Villano.

00:23:57YACINE BIDOT

00:24:01YACINE BIDOT

00:24:24And you're back with us.

00:24:26They're still recovering the arrows there.

00:24:28Many of the drivers have been running back to the pits

00:24:30as you saw just as you were leaving us.

00:24:32This is covered under Article 156 of the regulations.

00:24:36There's three types of race stoppage, really,

00:24:39and this is case A.

00:24:40Less than two full laps have been completed,

00:24:43and if the race can be restarted,

00:24:44then the following applies.

00:24:46The original start shall be deemed null and void.

00:24:49The length of the restarted race

00:24:51will be the full original race distance.

00:24:53Drivers who are eligible to take part in that race

00:24:56can start either in their race car

00:24:58or their T-car.

00:25:00This is an interesting one.

00:25:01Any driver who was forced to start from the back of the grid

00:25:04or the pit lane during the original start

00:25:06may start from his original grid position,

00:25:08which puts Wirtz back on the grid, effectively.

00:25:11And, well, it goes on.

00:25:13There's more detail.

00:25:14But he saw the Telstys.

00:25:16Yeah, but you've got to have rules.

00:25:18You've got to have a procedure.

00:25:19I mean, it all looks a bit of a fiasco at the moment,

00:25:21but there is a way of channeling this back in

00:25:23to try to become a motor race.

00:25:25But it's certainly struggling at the moment, isn't it?

00:25:28Well, here they are running back,

00:25:30and in the lead is Pedro Diniz.

00:25:32Behind him is Riccardo Zonta.

00:25:36And he's going up the inside, look.

00:25:37Yeah, and also out there are Nick Heidfelt,

00:25:41the cross driver.

00:25:42Jenson Button is already home.

00:25:45Pedro Diniz, as you see,

00:25:46is across the track into the crowd,

00:25:48and now they've got to get back into the pit lane.

00:25:50David Coulthard was out of his car very quickly indeed

00:25:54and taken his helmet off to cool down, no doubt.

00:25:57As Alexander Wurz there in the spare Benetton, I expect,

00:26:03is waiting to come out of the pit lane

00:26:05to start from his original position,

00:26:08having aborted the first one.

00:26:10And that's 12th position.

00:26:11Louise Goodman.

00:26:12James Robinson down at Williams.

00:26:14James, did Jenson say anything to you after that incident?

00:26:17No, he didn't.

00:26:18Obviously, he was straight out of the car,

00:26:19from what we could see.

00:26:20And he's just trying to get back.

00:26:21Obviously, he's just got in a spare car.

00:26:23But the pit lane technically is closed,

00:26:25so we're going to see if we can get him out or not.

00:26:27Probably won't.

00:26:28Bit of a tricky situation for him to have to deal with,

00:26:30for such an inexperienced driver.

00:26:32Do you think this is going to affect him?

00:26:34Is it going to rattle him?

00:26:35Have to wait and see.

00:26:36Thanks, James.

00:26:37I don't think it's going to rattle him.

00:26:38He's the most mature, calm, laid-back chap of 20 years old

00:26:43that I've ever met in my life.

00:26:45Most of the situations that Jenson is coming up against now

00:26:50are new to him,

00:26:51because this is very much his first season in Formula 1,

00:26:54and a very distinguished season it's been so far.

00:26:57This is only his seventh Grand Prix,

00:26:59and he has scored in two of them.

00:27:01And this is his first street race in Formula 1,

00:27:04and he's been performing extremely well already.

00:27:08He's only starting 14th on the grid, admittedly, out of 22,

00:27:12but he had all sorts of problems, as did most of them,

00:27:15because congestion is one of the big problems at Monaco.

00:27:18You've heard us talking about how difficult it is to get past cars,

00:27:23and James Allen is there in the pits.

00:27:25Situations like this, Murray,

00:27:26sometimes give rise to the funniest little things.

00:27:28All the sort of glamour and the glitz and the build-up

00:27:30that we always have at the build-up to the Grand Prix,

00:27:32and now we've had an aborted start,

00:27:34and one of the funniest things I've seen for a long time,

00:27:36there's one portable toilet at the end of the pit lane.

00:27:38Michael Schumacher decided immediately upon rejoining the grid

00:27:41he wanted to go to it,

00:27:42and shortly afterwards, Mick Hackett and Ralph Schumacher arrived

00:27:45and had to stand in an orderly queue

00:27:47while Michael sped to Petty,

00:27:49and then they all came back out again.

00:27:51It's a very, very strange day down here in the pits.

00:27:53So the Germans got to the loo as well, first of all,

00:27:56and David Coulthard is sitting as Scotland's representative in the McLaren.

00:28:03He's taking care of that problem, I presume.

00:28:05Yes, Coulthard wiping his face.

00:28:07Obviously, the beads of sweat, they come down,

00:28:09and they're salty, obviously, as you all know,

00:28:11and get in your eyes, and it's the last thing you need

00:28:13when you're driving around here.

00:28:16So, I tend to disagree with you, Mary,

00:28:19that Jenson won't be fazed by this.

00:28:21This is a third start for a difficult Grand Prix.

00:28:24He's caused one of the restarts with tripping over the arrows,

00:28:28but it's so easy to do down there in that hairpin.

00:28:32And a little bit of massage to the neck there of one of the Prost drivers.

00:28:37I think it looks like John Alessi from the Falky Bills,

00:28:43and it looks to me as though he's got a problem,

00:28:45and Alessi's starting seventh on the grid.

00:28:48That's just a bit of relaxation stuff, I think, isn't it?

00:28:50It is, it is, John Alessi.

00:28:51Incidentally, it gives me the opportunity to say,

00:28:53as I said at qualifying yesterday,

00:28:55that there's a pretty fraught situation at the Prost organisation

00:29:01because their technical chief, Alan Jenkins, has left,

00:29:06and the Entente Cordiale is not at all cordial.

00:29:10There's a very fraught atmosphere there,

00:29:12but to their credit, as a result of, ironically,

00:29:17something that Alan Jenkins found out in the aerodynamics area,

00:29:21the Prost is going very much better here than it has in the past,

00:29:25and Alessi has benefited that, seventh on the grid.

00:29:30Yes, Alessi going extremely well.

00:29:34Jarno Trulli, second on the grid.

00:29:38He's already started this race, or thought he'd started it,

00:29:40in the formation lap one, formation lap two.

00:29:44Third time lucky, we hope.

00:29:47The race restarting in five minutes' time, if all goes well.

00:29:52Yes, 31 minutes past the hour, the race will start,

00:29:55and it's a good chance for us to take another break

00:29:57so you can see more racing action later on.

00:30:07It's the first race of the season,

00:30:09and we've had several injuries,

00:30:11and we're at the 653rd race of the Roche Championship

00:30:17since 1950.

00:30:21We need to get ready for the next race,

00:30:25so we need to get ready for the next race.

00:30:27We need to get ready for the next race,

00:30:29so we need to get ready for the next race.

00:33:20...

00:33:22...

00:33:24...

00:33:26at the present moment, not to mention Malaysia, which we're looking forward to

00:33:30going to for the last Grand Prix of the year. Well, the spectators, and there are

00:33:35thousands of them, must be a record crowd here at Monaco. I have never seen the

00:33:39place as full as it is now. I've been coming here for a good few years. They've

00:33:45already had two lots of excitement and they're about to get a third. We're

00:33:49coming up to half, 30 minutes past the hour, one minute to go to the start of

00:33:55the third formation lap, and please everybody, join me in keeping your

00:34:01fingers crossed. We all desperately want to get this Monaco Grand Prix, the 58th

00:34:06of these great street races, on the road, quite literally. The last time I can

00:34:12remember three starts to a Grand Prix, I caused both the restarts in 1987. I remember it well, Austria.

00:34:17Austria 87. I had a coming together with Eddie Cheever on the first one and a

00:34:21suspension failure on the second one. I say to myself, what a hooligan that

00:34:26Malfello Bradwell is. I can't imagine what you used to say about me, Murray, when I

00:34:29couldn't hear you when I was down on the track. I dread to think. That was a very

00:34:33tricky one. Well, let's hope it doesn't happen again. 14, 30, 34, 35, 36, 37. We're

00:34:41coming up to 31, when Michael Schumacher will let in the hand clutch and away

00:34:46will go the Ferrari to lead the rest round. Well, if you thought it looked a

00:34:49bit skinny down the far end of the grid there, that's because we're expecting

00:34:53Wurz and Button, at least, to be starting from the pit lane. And Diniz, probably

00:34:59not even in the race at all. Because we've seen his car parked down at the

00:35:04station hairpin. Away goes Schumacher, but he's had some practice starts here today to add to those he's had in Fiorano on Friday.

00:35:13Yes, I think if Michael starts like that for the real thing, he'll be in fourth

00:35:17place by the first corner, but obviously he will not. He just wanted to get some

00:35:21temperature into those rear tyres. It's your best chance when you're pulling away to

00:35:25actually generate some temperature. And we think De La Rosa is also not starting

00:35:30the race. So let's remind ourselves what did happen when we thought the race had

00:35:35started. Michael Schumacher kept his first place as he went into Saint-Devote.

00:35:40Jarno Trulli did make a good start, but not as good as Schumacher. He was in

00:35:45second place. David Coulthard did not lose a place, nor did Fredson. And

00:35:49Micah Hackenham was still in fifth place. So some of them, and that's Alexander

00:35:54Wurz in the Benetton, the man who caused all the trouble in the first place.

00:35:58And he is going to be starting from the pit lane. That means to say that he will

00:36:02have to wait until all the other 21 cars and drivers have passed him before he

00:36:08can accelerate away up towards Saint-Devote. This is the famous chicane outside the

00:36:15tunnel. It's where Wurz went off a couple of years ago. We've got that

00:36:19fantastic shot of his nose of the Benetton, harpooning the bales between him

00:36:26and the armco barrier. There is Barry Keller. There is Alessi. There is Fisic

00:36:30Keller. That is Ralph Schumacher. Eddie Irvine is starting 10th on the grid. His

00:36:35teammate Johnny Herbert will be 11th. They're coming down to the Rascasse

00:36:39underneath the red bridge. Then there's a little curving right. That's Jensen

00:36:45Button sitting. He's going to be starting from the pit lane as well. You heard what

00:36:50James Robertson said to Louise Goodman. And the mechanics finally tighten down

00:36:55the side pod on Jensen Button's Williams BMW as Michael Schumacher.

00:37:02Now fingers crossed everybody. Fingers crossed. We must get the Monaco Grand Prix

00:37:07away this third time. Schumacher pole position. Jarno Trulli second on the grid.

00:37:13The silver and black McLaren behind Schumacher is David Coulthard. Yes and

00:37:18these clutches are just about the size of your fist now on a Formula One car.

00:37:22They're not really designed for a lot of restarts. This is putting them absolutely

00:37:26on the limit. One night and two and three and four and five and...

00:37:35Come on out! Go! Schumacher good again. Trulli, Trulli good again.

00:37:40And Fredsen slots in front of Hakenham. So the grid positions have been maintained.

00:37:45Are they going to get round Sanderbotten? Yes I think they are. Schumacher leads.

00:37:49Trulli, Coulthard, Fredsen, Micah Hakenham into Massenet into the Casino Square.

00:37:56Now they're coming up to the point where we had problems at the station hairpin.

00:38:01They turn into the Mirabeau, drop down towards the station hairpin and this is it.

00:38:07Yes Ralf Schumacher the main mover there. Ralf Schumacher getting a good start for the second time.

00:38:12And I think he has catapulted past John Alessi, Barrichello there behind Alessi.

00:38:17So Barrichello a poor start. Yeah Barrichello only qualified sixth on the grid.

00:38:21He's been passed by the mercurial John Alessi in the frost. Up into sixth position.

00:38:26A potential points position but we've still got 77 laps and a bit to go.

00:38:31As they come down to the chicane for the first time with Michael Schumacher in the lead.

00:38:36Johan O. Trulli is still there. David Coulthard treading on his gearbox.

00:38:39And they stream through absolutely critical this into the swimming pool section.

00:38:44They approach it at some 100 miles an hour.

00:38:47And this is the Rascasse and look at the gap already between Schumacher and Trulli.

00:38:52Yes critical there for Michael Schumacher. He needed Jarno Trulli to get away in front of Coulthard.

00:38:57That's going to give Schumacher such a breathing space.

00:39:00Unless Coulthard can do something about Trulli in these early laps.

00:39:03Otherwise you just settle into a rhythm but you've got to take such a risk to get past him.

00:39:07He needs the championship points but he also needs to try and win this motor race.

00:39:12And he's got to keep some pressure on Michael Schumacher if he can.

00:39:15And look at the lead Schumacher's got.

00:39:17Yes the worry man is Mikko Häkkinen. Worry because he's worried.

00:39:21He's in 5th position. He did not make up any places at the start.

00:39:25Look he's still locked in behind Heinz-Harald Frentzen as Schumacher leads.

00:39:29And he's increasing the gap between himself and Johan O. Trulli.

00:39:33And Mikko Häkkinen is looking all the time as he comes down to the station hairpin for a way round.

00:39:38Heinz-Harald Frentzen as...

00:39:40And if he does that too many times he'll lose his nosecoat Murray.

00:39:43And then he'll be half a minute behind him when he stops to have that change.

00:39:46Or worse still lose a front wishbone.

00:39:48So Häkkinen there having a bit of a wild stab up the inside of Frentzen.

00:39:52Frentzen having nothing of it into the hairpin there.

00:39:54And it's so difficult. You've got to be so focused on your piece of road.

00:39:57That staring in your mirrors through there watching out for people trying to overtake you.

00:40:01Is just not on the agenda.

00:40:03And Ralf Schumacher is in 6th position.

00:40:07Jenson Button who started in the pit lane is in 19th position.

00:40:11And there is Eddie Irvine in the Jaguar who has been passed by his team mate Johnny Herbert.

00:40:18Johnny Herbert was 11th on the grid behind Irvine.

00:40:21He's now 10th in the race ahead of Eddie Irvine.

00:40:25So there is Trulli. There is Coulthard.

00:40:28And Michael Schumacher is disappearing from sight as they go through.

00:40:32But it's very, very close behind them.

00:40:34Michael Schumacher as Häkkinen is looking again.

00:40:37And Frentzen coming up towards Zandervoort.

00:40:39But the German Heinz-Harald Frentzen in the Jordan Mugen which is going so well here.

00:40:47Knows this course very well indeed.

00:40:49He lives in Monaco as does Micah Häkkinen.

00:40:53And he knows that if he places his car correctly it's going to be virtually impossible for the Finn to get by.

00:40:58And now Micah Häkkinen is 5 seconds behind Schumacher.

00:41:02Yes, possibly Häkkinen's car is a little bit lighter to try and get him through the traffic early on.

00:41:07But one thing's for sure.

00:41:08He's certainly got a faster car and he can't do anything with it at the moment.

00:41:11I was wrong about Donitz not starting.

00:41:13He's in 14th place.

00:41:15But Button and Wurz did start in the pit lane in 18th and 19th as you've already said, Mary.

00:41:20And De La Rosa is the only one actually not in the race.

00:41:24So 21 runners at the moment.

00:41:26Through the tunnel, into the chicane.

00:41:28There is Ralf Schumacher.

00:41:30And you can see the gap between himself and Micah Häkkinen and it's not very much.

00:41:35As Jean Alési follows Schumacher in 7th position.

00:41:39Ahead of Rubens Barrichello who has lost two places.

00:41:43Very disappointing for the Ferrari driver because he qualified in 6th place.

00:41:48He was fastest in this morning's warm-up.

00:41:51Declared himself happy with the handling and the balance of the Ferrari.

00:41:54But never, in spite of that, he has lost two places in this race.

00:41:58And losing them is not too difficult.

00:42:01Getting them back is mighty difficult.

00:42:03Yes, just to remind you why Häkkinen's down there.

00:42:05He had a poor first run in qualifying.

00:42:07And then traffic, really, for the next two.

00:42:10And a fairly mediocre last effort.

00:42:12Still struggling a little bit with traffic.

00:42:14So Häkkinen, lucky in a way to qualify 5th.

00:42:17But it's compromised his afternoon.

00:42:18And look, Michael Schumacher, as we thought, scampering away.

00:42:21A well over three and a half second lead already.

00:42:24And remember, Michael Schumacher has already won four of the six races this year.

00:42:29With the declared objective of taking Ferrari back to the top in terms of winning the driver's championship.

00:42:36Which they have not done since Jody Schechter did so for them in 1979.

00:42:41It's been a long, long haul.

00:42:43And there's news from James Allen.

00:42:45Yes, this is just what McLaren feared.

00:42:46Not least because they got Jarni Trulli in front of them.

00:42:48But more importantly, he's the only one of a leading gaggle that's on the super soft tires.

00:42:53And what we've seen throughout the weekend is that they go off the understeer terribly.

00:42:56Between the second and the seventh laps of running.

00:42:58So this is going to mean that Trulli's going to hold them up even more.

00:43:01While Schumacher is able to pull away.

00:43:02It's exactly what McLaren didn't want for that reason.

00:43:05You can see how close it is.

00:43:06And here are the top ten on lap four out of 78.

00:43:10Schumacher leading by three and a half seconds.

00:43:12Jarno Trulli is second.

00:43:14Half a second ahead of David Coulthard.

00:43:17And there they are.

00:43:18Fourth is Frentzen.

00:43:20Fifth is Hackett.

00:43:21Sixth is Ralf Schumacher.

00:43:22Seventh is John Alessi.

00:43:23Eighth is Rubens Barrichello.

00:43:25Ninth is Fisichella.

00:43:26Johnny Herbert is tenth.

00:43:27And Eddie Irvine in the second Jaguar is in eleventh position.

00:43:31Jenson Button is still down in nineteenth position.

00:43:35Coming up the hill towards us.

00:43:37It's Frentzen.

00:43:38And Hackett.

00:43:39And Schumacher.

00:43:40And Alessi.

00:43:41And then Barrichello.

00:43:42Here is Michael Schumacher.

00:43:45Four times a winner at Monaco.

00:43:47Yes, and his car has been so reliable.

00:43:49When you think back, other than that brake problem in Silverstone last year,

00:43:52I think the last time Michael Schumacher's car failed him

00:43:55and had any kind of engine blow-up was in Melbourne, 1998.

00:44:00So he never got a super reliable car.

00:44:02We also know that Jordans tend to run a very big fuel tank

00:44:06and they tend to run very long.

00:44:08So they're sitting quite pretty at the moment.

00:44:10Hackett, if anything, just falling slightly away from Frentzen.

00:44:13I don't know if he made a mistake on the last lap,

00:44:15but Hackett not exactly carrying Frentzen.

00:44:17He's nine-tenths of a second down.

00:44:19Well, Frentzen was fourth last year,

00:44:22and he came in on lap 57.

00:44:24Here he is coming towards us.

00:44:26Hackett can do nothing about him.

00:44:28Nor can Ralf Schumacher, Alessi, Barrichello, Fisichella,

00:44:32Johnny Herbert you just saw coming towards us in the Jaguar.

00:44:35And we're on lap five.

00:44:37Still an enormous distance to go.

00:44:39The crowd has settled down.

00:44:41It's very hot indeed.

00:44:43As I talked to you, the track temperature remains at 40 degrees

00:44:47as the leaders round the Rascasse.

00:44:50Now, Schumacher is putting up fastest lap after fastest lap.

00:44:54He's just gone round in one minute, 24.3.

00:44:58The fastest lap last year was two laps quicker.

00:45:00Nicker Hackett.

00:45:01Dream scenario for Michael.

00:45:03He took one and a half seconds out of the opposition on the last lap,

00:45:06two seconds out of Frentzen.

00:45:08So, Michael with the track to himself,

00:45:10and the car working beautifully.

00:45:12He's just enjoying himself.

00:45:14As far as he's concerned, there's nobody else around this afternoon.

00:45:16It's a private test at the moment.

00:45:18Yeah, and it's not as though he is a new boy.

00:45:21Far from it.

00:45:22He made his first sparkling appearance in 1991

00:45:25at the Belgian Grand Prix driving for Eddie Jordan.

00:45:29That lasted one race before he was snappled by Benetton.

00:45:33So, he's very much a veteran now,

00:45:36and four times the winner here.

00:45:38Well, Coulthard's got to get closer than that

00:45:40to have any chance of overtaking Trulli,

00:45:43but then he's really got two and a half opportunities.

00:45:46One's coming out of the tunnel into the new chicane.

00:45:48The other is after the casino down into Mirabeau.

00:45:52He's got to wear Trulli down,

00:45:54or you can have a very wild stab up the inside into Grand Hairpin,

00:45:57but there's a good 50-50 chance that one will end in tears.

00:46:01Michael Schumacher nearly six seconds ahead

00:46:03of the yellow Jordan there of Jarno Trulli.

00:46:06You can see how close David Coulthard is,

00:46:08but then Frentzen is three and a half seconds behind Coulthard's McLaren.

00:46:12Out of the Antonino corner,

00:46:15up towards Sainte-Dame-de-Mont they come.

00:46:18Frentzen has got Häkkinen snapping at his gearbox,

00:46:21but the Finn can do nothing about it.

00:46:24Ralf Schumacher coming up the hill towards us in the wheel.

00:46:27BMW is in sixth position.

00:46:30But this race is a long, long way from being finished.

00:46:34We're on lap seven now, another 71 laps to go.

00:46:38Yes, Coulthard wasn't able to run this car in the warm-up.

00:46:40It failed, so he had to run in the T-car,

00:46:42and he was still making adjustments to it on the grid,

00:46:45even after the reconnaissance lap to go round to the grid.

00:46:49So it seems to be working well,

00:46:51but obviously he can't move with the Jordan in front of him.

00:46:53Now, this is the sort of drive I've been waiting for a long time,

00:46:57to see Jarno Trulli have the opportunity to have.

00:47:01He was absolutely brilliant in karts.

00:47:04He went straight from karts to Formula 3,

00:47:07and he was the German Formula 3 champion,

00:47:10which may seem a bit odd for an Italian,

00:47:12but that was the series he was driving in.

00:47:14There's Michael Schumacher leading.

00:47:15And Jarno Trulli won the German championship

00:47:18and then went up to the Minardi team.

00:47:21He actually led the Austrian Grand Prix three years ago

00:47:25in one of his first drives for the Prost team.

00:47:28And now he's in a car that can, at minimum,

00:47:31give him second position if he stays where he is.

00:47:34But I'm also asking myself,

00:47:36how much longer can the two Ferraris go on

00:47:39being as reliable as they have been?

00:47:41As you heard from Martin,

00:47:43it's over 30 races since Michael Schumacher

00:47:45went out with any kind of a mechanical function.

00:47:49Yes, now McLaren have to get their thinking caps on,

00:47:52because it's clear,

00:47:53whilst they've got faster cars than the Jordans

00:47:55at this stage of the race,

00:47:57they have not got enough extra speed

00:47:59to just breeze past them.

00:48:01So now what they're going to have to do

00:48:02is change their strategy

00:48:04and find a gap in the back markers.

00:48:06And this is assuming the Jordan drivers

00:48:08don't make a mistake,

00:48:09but they're both young, strong, and very fit.

00:48:11So they're going to have to find a gap in the traffic

00:48:14where they can stop their man early,

00:48:16give him some free air,

00:48:17and see if they can leapfrog the Jordans that way.

00:48:20Because, as I said,

00:48:21unless Coulthard can pressurise truly

00:48:23into some kind of error,

00:48:24he's not got enough traction or straight line speed

00:48:27to simply breeze past.

00:48:29Which is the sort of thing that happened

00:48:31in the Ferrari team last year.

00:48:33They finished first and second last year.

00:48:35Michael Schumacher won in 1999,

00:48:38his teammate Eddie Irvine was second.

00:48:40And it was largely thanks to the fact

00:48:42that Ross Brawn, the Ferrari technical chief,

00:48:45changed Eddie Irvine's strategy during the race,

00:48:49and he was the only one of the top six

00:48:51who stopped twice,

00:48:52because he came in as late as lap 56.

00:48:55And as a result of that,

00:48:57and the fact that Mika Häkkinen

00:48:59had a problem at the Mirabeau,

00:49:01and stopped and had to get back onto the track again,

00:49:04Eddie Irvine finished in second position.

00:49:06So, there is the Jordan,

00:49:08followed by the McLaren,

00:49:11and that is Ralf Schumacher.

00:49:13So, Frentzen and Häkkinen,

00:49:16up the hill towards the Macedon.

00:49:18Yes, yet another new fastest lap of the race,

00:49:20as Michael Schumacher extends his lead

00:49:22as you saw, to 8.4 seconds,

00:49:24after just eight laps.

00:49:26That means he's going to be,

00:49:28if the McLarens can't spring it,

00:49:30means Michael's going to be,

00:49:31assuming he's on a one-stopper,

00:49:32which I'd be very surprised if he's not,

00:49:34then he's going to be cruising up behind this lot

00:49:36at some point later in the afternoon.

00:49:38Well, I've worked it out earlier on,

00:49:40that we could expect the leader,

00:49:43who I was expecting to be, Michael Schumacher,

00:49:46to lap the last man,

00:49:48who, at the present moment, is Nick Heidfeld,

00:49:51after about 21 laps.

00:49:53Now, we're on lap eight at the present moment.

00:49:55There was roughly a four-second gap

00:49:58between the fastest and the slowest

00:50:00in the warm-up, the half-hour warm-up this morning,

00:50:03and now you can see that Michael Schumacher

00:50:06is carving his way through the field.

00:50:08Just the one retirement so far,

00:50:10Pedro de la Rosa in the Arrows,

00:50:12who actually did not get away.

00:50:14You're on board with David Coulthard.

00:50:15You're running third in this Grand Prix this afternoon,

00:50:18and as you can see, all he's got

00:50:20is a face full of Jordan rear wing.

00:50:23And what would be so easy for Coulthard to do

00:50:25is on a corner like he's just gone round,

00:50:27just to clump the barrier,

00:50:28just turn in a fraction too early

00:50:29while you're slightly unsighted,

00:50:31and it'll just spin you around,

00:50:33and the pendulum around,

00:50:34and it's so, so easy to do

00:50:36when you're focused on the car ahead of you.

00:50:38And this is a perfect indication

00:50:40of the fact that it is of paramount importance

00:50:43to qualify well at Monaco.

00:50:46If you qualify well and get a good start,

00:50:48you get the situation that we've got now,

00:50:51because the pole position man is leading.

00:50:53The man who was second on the grid is second.

00:50:55The man who was third on the grid is third.

00:50:57The man who was fourth on the grid,

00:50:59and it's him, Heinz-Harald Frentzen,

00:51:01is fourth, and Micah Häkkinen is fifth,

00:51:04as we ride with David Coulthard

00:51:06chasing Jarno Trulli into the Portier,

00:51:09where Senna went off in 1988,

00:51:11into the tunnel and through the tunnel,

00:51:13and they go through this tunnel

00:51:15and exit it at over 160,

00:51:17building up to 180 miles an hour

00:51:19as Jos Verstappen exits the tunnel

00:51:22and goes across the chicane.

00:51:24Yes, I was just about to say,

00:51:25amazingly, from the middle of the pack,

00:51:27Jos Verstappen's just done the fastest time of anybody

00:51:30in the race through the midsection.

00:51:31Now I know why he basically leapt across the chicane.

00:51:34He may or may not get penalized.

00:51:36The stewards will have a look

00:51:37and see if he got some kind of advantage,

00:51:39either made a place or retained a place,

00:51:41by doing that, and I don't think

00:51:43Verstappen will have a problem on that one.

00:51:45No, I don't think so.

00:51:46He was two seconds ahead of Deniz in the salvo,

00:51:49who is in 14th position.

00:51:51So, lap 11.

00:51:53We're about, we're exactly one-seventh of the way

00:51:56through the Monaco Grand Prix.

00:51:58Schumacher's now leading by nearly 11 seconds

00:52:01with another fastest lap.

00:52:03Lap after lap, Micah Schumacher

00:52:05is extending his lead over Jarno Trulli.

00:52:08There is the Jordan,

00:52:10followed by David Coulthard's McLaren.

00:52:13Then there is a gap of three seconds

00:52:15before the Frentzen and Hakkinen battle arrives,

00:52:18followed by Ralf Schumacher,

00:52:19who is a second behind Hakkinen.

00:52:21Alessi's still seventh.

00:52:22Barrichello is still a busy calendar night.

00:52:25Johnny Herbert is still ahead of Eddie Irvine,

00:52:27and Herbert is tenth.

00:52:29Yes, Michael Schumacher's done a new fastest lap

00:52:32for the last six laps of this motor race.

00:52:35We need, we all need,

00:52:37Coulthard to pass that Jordan,

00:52:39if only to give us a race this afternoon,

00:52:41because Michael's just going to be running and hiding.

00:52:44Well, this is a very, very long world championship.

00:52:47This is race seven.

00:52:49There are 17 races in the championship,

00:52:52and remember what happened to Michael Schumacher

00:52:55at the British Grand Prix last year

00:52:57when he had just lost the leadership

00:52:59of the world championship to Micah Hakkinen.

00:53:03But at the present moment,

00:53:05Schumacher is running away with it.

00:53:07He's 18 points ahead of Micah Hakkinen,

00:53:10and Schumacher is on a possible

00:53:11ten world championship points at the moment.

00:53:14Hakkinen is on a possible

00:53:15two world championship points at the moment.

00:53:18So if things stay as they are,

00:53:19and I don't suppose for a moment they will,

00:53:21Schumacher would be extending his lead

00:53:23over Micah Hakkinen by a further eight points,

00:53:26and it would be looking very grim indeed.

00:53:28Now, that is Johnny Herbert and Eddie Irvine

00:53:31just deciding he's not going to make the chicane,

00:53:34and I don't think he would suffer.

00:53:36I don't think Verstappen's going to do it,

00:53:38and I don't think Irvine will either.

00:53:40Yes, it's very easy to take that decision

00:53:42to scamper across that no-man's land.

00:53:44There should be big spikes in there

00:53:45that stops them going across it.

00:53:46It's too easy to take the soft option there.

00:53:49Yeah, the lines, those red and white lines of the chicane,

00:53:52not at the hairpin, Matt, but at the chicane,

00:53:55are just painted on the ground.

00:53:56There was a time when they actually had

00:53:58a raised wooden structure,

00:54:00and if you thumped that, you were in trouble

00:54:02with a puncture or a broken wheel or broken suspension,

00:54:05but they thought better of it.

00:54:06They just painted the lines on the track,

00:54:08and as you heard from Martin,

00:54:10if you cross the chicane and you benefit,

00:54:14that is, you pass a driver, you will be penalised.

00:54:17You can see they're running wide there quite deliberately,

00:54:20but if you just nip across and you don't gain from it,

00:54:24you are not penalised.

00:54:25Yes, but if they perceive that you would have lost a place

00:54:28because of your misdemeanour,

00:54:29they nailed a Formula 3000 driver yesterday.

00:54:32Well, he didn't gain a place,

00:54:33but surely he'd made a mistake

00:54:35and managed to keep his place somehow,

00:54:37so he got a ten-second stop-and-go penalty,

00:54:40which, with a 60km per hour, 40mph speed limit

00:54:43down the never-ending pit lane here,

00:54:45is quite a penalty indeed.

00:54:47And you're certainly not encouraged to do it regularly.

00:54:50So Micah Hackenham will be a gigantically frustrated man.

00:54:54He's now 17 seconds behind his World Championship rival,

00:54:58Michael Schumacher.

00:54:59Tucked in behind Frensen with Ralf Schumacher

00:55:02in the Williams BMW,

00:55:04confidently holding on to that sixth position

00:55:06and a points position.

00:55:08Now, where is Jenson Button in the other Williams?

00:55:10The answer is he's still in 19th position,

00:55:13because although he's riding underneath the rear wing

00:55:16of Gaston Mazzucane's Minardi,

00:55:19and this is the first time, too,

00:55:21that the Argentine driver has driven at Monaco,

00:55:23Mazzucane is not letting Button through,

00:55:26and as I said earlier on,

00:55:27if you don't get some help from the driver in front,

00:55:30it's going to be virtually impossible to get past.

00:55:32So why, you may say, do they hold a motor race

00:55:35at a place like this if you cannot pass?

00:55:37Well, many of the, in fact,

00:55:39most of the Grand Prix circuits these days

00:55:41are very difficult to pass on.

00:55:43The performance of the cars is similar.

00:55:45They're all top drivers,

00:55:47and the big problem is an aerodynamic one.

00:55:50Yes, but you've got to have different styles of racetrack.

00:55:53You can't, I mean, in the ideal world of safety

00:55:56and all of that sort of thing,

00:55:57you'd end up with a long straight,

00:55:59and all the spectators 500 metres away

00:56:01looking through binoculars.

00:56:02You've got to have different types of circuit,

00:56:04test the drivers.

00:56:05The qualifying here plays a much bigger part

00:56:08than at normal racetracks,

00:56:11but it's all part of a very special weekend,

00:56:13a very specific kind of racetrack,

00:56:16and it should be in the calendar, no doubt about that.

00:56:19Oh, yes, absolutely. Magic.

00:56:21Now, we are not seeing much of Michael Schumacher

00:56:24because he is out on his own so much.

00:56:26He's 12 seconds ahead now.

00:56:28He's just done yet another fastest lap.

00:56:31He's streaking away with this race.

00:56:34His fastest lap, which he has just done,

00:56:37is 1 minute 23.6,

00:56:40which is 1.2 seconds,

00:56:421.4 seconds slower

00:56:44than Micah Hacken at his fastest lap last year.

00:56:47As a matter of interest,

00:56:48Michael Schumacher has the lap record here.

00:56:50It's as long ago as 1994 in the Benetton,

00:56:54which is a 3.5-litre engine device,

00:56:57and there are 3 litres these days,

00:56:59and that was 1.21,

00:57:01so he's about 2.5 seconds slower

00:57:04than his own all-time lap record

00:57:06as Fredson, Hacken and Schumacher

00:57:08go through the chicane on lap 14 out of 78.

00:57:12Yes, that was back in the days, though,

00:57:14Michael's fastest time,

00:57:15when they had wide, uncut slicks,

00:57:18so around a circuit like this,

00:57:20it makes a tremendous amount of difference.

00:57:23So, the swimming pool section,

00:57:26and Missy Keller is putting on a bit of a charge now.

00:57:30He is in 9th position,

00:57:33tucked up behind Rubens Barrichello.

00:57:35Now, Barrichello is 8th in the Ferrari,

00:57:38cannot get past Alesis Prost,

00:57:40who cannot get past Schumacher's Williams,

00:57:43who cannot get past Mika Hakkinen's McLaren,

00:57:46and Mika Hakkinen is in 5th position.

00:57:49Missy Keller closing up

00:57:51right on the rear wing of Barrichello's Ferrari.

00:57:55I can't help but watch Hakkinen

00:57:57and think he's having another one of those days

00:57:59where he doesn't seem that interested.

00:58:01It's just a feeling you get on the season so far,

00:58:04in some respects,

00:58:05and Mika just doesn't look really on it

00:58:08in his normal way there.

00:58:09He's falling away again from the back of Fredson.

00:58:12In a way, though, I think that's what Coulthard

00:58:14should maybe do.

00:58:15Just back off a little bit,

00:58:16cool his tyres down,

00:58:17and come back and have another run at Trulli

00:58:20and try and distract him in that way.

00:58:23I think now they've settled into a rhythm.

00:58:25You just get in a trance

00:58:26following the car in front of you.

00:58:28You should really...

00:58:29I think if he just backs off a bit,

00:58:30cools the tyres,

00:58:31but then, you know,

00:58:32if they come up against back markers

00:58:33or Trulli makes a mistake,

00:58:34then he wouldn't be in a position to maximise on it.

00:58:37So, it's a difficult decision.

00:58:40You can understand that the McLaren people

00:58:42are not bringing Coulthard in,

00:58:44in spite of the fact that he can't get past Trulli

00:58:47in front of him,

00:58:48because we're only on lap 16.

00:58:50And even if he was on a one-stop strategy

00:58:53and they decided to change it to two,

00:58:55it would mean he'd be going out

00:58:56with a terrific fuel load

00:58:58and coming back into the race during traffic.

00:59:00Well, yes,

00:59:01they're nowhere near the window for stopping.

00:59:04I would have thought the window to stop

00:59:05would be somewhere 38, 40 laps into the race.

00:59:08Through to 55, 56.

00:59:10So, until we get, I would have thought,

00:59:12at least into the 40s,

00:59:13McLaren hamstrung on any kind of tactics they can play.

00:59:17Now, Shimaka knows that,

00:59:19Ferrari know that,

00:59:20McLaren know that,

00:59:21but they can do nothing about it.

00:59:23And Jordan will not be at all unhappy

00:59:26with this situation.

00:59:27Jordan have not been performing

00:59:29to their satisfaction this season so far.

00:59:32They were third in the championship last year,

00:59:35behind Ferrari and McLaren.

00:59:38This year, they're down in fifth position,

00:59:41but behind Benetton.

00:59:43But if they stay where they are now,

00:59:45they will be moving up

00:59:46and probably getting past Williams,

00:59:48who are currently an unexpected third.

00:59:51I asked Truly a question on the start line

00:59:53that I asked very specifically,

00:59:54did he think it would be more physically

00:59:56or mentally demanding?

00:59:58And he said both.

00:59:59I think he is one of the very fittest drivers

01:00:02physically in Formula 1.

01:00:03But I wonder if he was ready

01:00:04to take this sort of pressure.

01:00:06But three restarts

01:00:07and 17 on their 17th lap of the race

01:00:11and Truly shows no sign of bending whatsoever.

01:00:14But it's a long, long afternoon ahead of him.

01:00:16He is gigantically fit.

01:00:18I mean, he's taking part

01:00:19in the upcoming New York marathon.

01:00:21That's how fit he is.

01:00:22And he's also very fit mentally.

01:00:25I think we tend to lose sight

01:00:27of how long these drivers

01:00:29have all been racing

01:00:31in some kind of motorsport.

01:00:33For instance,

01:00:34Ralf Schumacher drove in karts

01:00:36for 14 years

01:00:38before he came up to Formula 3.

01:00:41And Ralf Schumacher is only 24 years old

01:00:43and Jarno Trulli

01:00:44will be in much the same situation.

01:00:46Now we're looking at the McLaren

01:00:49chasing the Jordan.

01:00:51Yes, now Truly is very slow at the moment.

01:00:53He was 1.6 seconds slower

01:00:55than Michael Schumacher on the last lap.

01:00:57And that's allowing the pack, look,

01:00:59to catch them at well over a second a lap.

01:01:01Now Coulthard is going to get a hurry-up call

01:01:03because he's soon going to have

01:01:05Fredsen, Häkkinen and Ralf Schumacher

01:01:07on his tail.

01:01:08And it's because Trulli

01:01:09just does not appear to have

01:01:11the pace of the others

01:01:12at this stage of the race.

01:01:13With Michael Schumacher

01:01:15leading on lap 17

01:01:17by 17 seconds.

01:01:18So he's been pulling away

01:01:20at the rate of a second a lap.

01:01:23And he's soon going to be in a situation

01:01:25where he can come in,

01:01:27stop, take on fuel

01:01:29and new tyres

01:01:31and get out still in the lead.

01:01:33Which is a racing driver's dream of home.

01:01:35Michael Schumacher then 17 seconds

01:01:37ahead of Jarno Trulli

01:01:39who's got David Coulthard

01:01:41right behind him.

01:01:42There he is, David Coulthard.

01:01:44Fredsen is now catching

01:01:46David Coulthard.

01:01:47There is the Jordan

01:01:48and behind him is Micah Häkkinen.

01:01:50So things are closing up nicely

01:01:52and Micah Häkkinen is putting on

01:01:54a tremendous charge

01:01:55in fifth position.

01:01:56He's really pressuring

01:01:58Heinz-Harald Fredsen.

01:01:59Here he is.

01:02:00There is Fredsen now.

01:02:02There is Micah Häkkinen.

01:02:04They're going round the masonnay.

01:02:06So Jordan leads McLaren.

01:02:08Jordan leads McLaren.

01:02:10Ferrari leads the race.

01:02:11And Ralph Schumacher is sixth.

01:02:13Yes, it looks like

01:02:14they've all sort of had a meeting

01:02:15and said,

01:02:16how can we make this

01:02:18as easy as possible

01:02:19for Ferrari to win this race?

01:02:21Because it's just playing so much

01:02:23into Michael Schumacher's hands.

01:02:24He'll be grinning from ear to ear

01:02:26in the cockpit of the Ferrari

01:02:28at the moment.

01:02:29But as you've said before many times,

01:02:30Mary,

01:02:31anything can happen

01:02:32and it often does.

01:02:33Yeah.

01:02:34And into the pits

01:02:35comes the high wing Williams

01:02:37of Jenson Button

01:02:39from

01:02:4121st position.

01:02:43So it looks as though

01:02:44he's going to be a retirement.

01:02:45He was 19th.

01:02:47And yeah, this is Button

01:02:48going out of the race.

01:02:50And that's a comparatively

01:02:52new experience

01:02:53for Jenson Button too.

01:02:55He failed to finish in Australia

01:02:57and he failed to finish in Imola.

01:03:01And he's going to fail to finish

01:03:02for his first Monaco Grand Prix.

01:03:04What the problem was,

01:03:05I obviously don't know.

01:03:06So we now have two retirements

01:03:08on lap 19.

01:03:09The first,

01:03:10De La Rosa

01:03:11in the arrows.

01:03:12The second,

01:03:13Jenson Button

01:03:14in the Williams.

01:03:15That leaves 20 drivers.

01:03:16Nobody has been lapped yet.

01:03:18Nick Heidfeld in the Frost

01:03:20is 20th and last

01:03:21of the runners

01:03:22at the present moment.

01:03:23And it is truly

01:03:24too far.

01:03:26Fritzen,

01:03:27Hakkinen.

01:03:30It's a great shame

01:03:31for Jenson Button now.

01:03:32There's a lot of speculation

01:03:33which we've covered,

01:03:34of course, that Montoya

01:03:35coming back from America

01:03:36taking his seat

01:03:37at Williams next year.

01:03:39And just when you need

01:03:40some sparkling runs,

01:03:41he's just not been lucky.

01:03:43I think he's shown a lot of skill,

01:03:44a lot of maturity around here.

01:03:46But it's not been a great weekend.

01:03:47The last thing he needed

01:03:48was a first lap incident

01:03:50and then a retirement

01:03:51before he could really show

01:03:52any kind of skill

01:03:54around this,

01:03:55the most demanding,

01:03:56one of the most demanding

01:03:57racetracks in the world.

01:03:58And you're absolutely right,

01:03:59Martin.

01:04:00Although it's happening

01:04:01very slowly,

01:04:03Coulthard is staying

01:04:04right behind Trulli,

01:04:05but Fritzen is catching

01:04:07Coulthard

01:04:08with Mika Hakkinen

01:04:09right behind him.

01:04:10So we're very soon.

01:04:11There is Fritzen.

01:04:12There is Mika Hakkinen.

01:04:13There is Ralf Schumacher.

01:04:14Here is Jean Alési

01:04:16in the chromium-plated helmet.

01:04:18And very soon,

01:04:19we're going to...

01:04:20Oh, and out goes

01:04:21Alexander Wurz.

01:04:23Well, yet,

01:04:24when things start

01:04:25to go wrong for you,

01:04:26they go wrong

01:04:27all the time.

01:04:28And we're going to get

01:04:29another indication here

01:04:30of how good

01:04:31the Monaco marshals are.

01:04:32They are absolutely terrific.

01:04:34Here is a replay

01:04:35of Alexander Wurz

01:04:37at Saint-Denis,

01:04:38losing control

01:04:39of the Benetton,

01:04:40going nose first

01:04:41into the barrier

01:04:42and feet first

01:04:43out of the race

01:04:45as he walks back.

01:04:46And Wurz

01:04:47was down in 17th position,

01:04:49so that lets Mazzacane.

01:04:51Up here is Mazzacane,

01:04:52followed by Marc Genet,

01:04:54now 19th.

01:04:55Nick Heidfeld

01:04:56in 20th position.

01:04:58You're looking at

01:04:59Jos Verstappen

01:05:00followed by Pedro Diniz.

01:05:01They are 13th

01:05:02and 14th.

01:05:04And, uh...

01:05:06I'm just trying

01:05:07to work out well.

01:05:08Nick Heidfeld

01:05:09is now 64 seconds

01:05:11behind Michael Schumacher.

01:05:13And he is lapping

01:05:15about 1.6 seconds

01:05:18a lap slower

01:05:19than the Ferrari.

01:05:21So, in, uh...

01:05:23another

01:05:2410 laps or so,

01:05:26which is about where

01:05:27I expected it to be,

01:05:28the Ferrari is going

01:05:29to be lapping

01:05:30or coming up to

01:05:31lap Heidfeld.

01:05:32Yes, well,

01:05:33you saw truly going into

01:05:34the new chicane

01:05:35down at the beginning

01:05:36of the harbour

01:05:37as Michael Schumacher

01:05:38was leaving the harbour

01:05:39around the Rascasse restaurant

01:05:40heading in.

01:05:41He's just gone past

01:05:42that window down

01:05:43the pit straight

01:05:44and the other guys

01:05:45are still around

01:05:46so that's the kind of...

01:05:48We're about

01:05:50four or five laps

01:05:51I would guess

01:05:52at Michael having to

01:05:53start to lap people.

01:05:55And then, uh...

01:05:56shortly after that

01:05:57we should see

01:05:58Trulli

01:05:59and Coulthard

01:06:00in the same sort of

01:06:01situation.

01:06:02That might be a chance

01:06:03for Coulthard

01:06:04and indeed for Häkkinen

01:06:05to do something

01:06:06about the Jordans

01:06:07in front of them

01:06:08if they've got the speed.

01:06:09Remember that, uh...

01:06:10in the last Grand Prix

01:06:12we had the European Grand Prix

01:06:13at the Nürburgring.

01:06:14Micah Häkkinen

01:06:15made the absolutely

01:06:16incredible start

01:06:17from third position

01:06:18and went straight between

01:06:19his team-mate

01:06:20David Coulthard

01:06:21in pole position

01:06:22and Michael Schumacher

01:06:23who was second on the grid

01:06:24to take the lead

01:06:25although Michael Schumacher

01:06:26won the race.

01:06:27Well, here

01:06:28Micah Häkkinen

01:06:29started

01:06:30well down the field

01:06:31by his standards

01:06:32because he was only

01:06:33fifth on the grid.

01:06:34He wasn't able

01:06:35to do anything about it

01:06:36at the start

01:06:37and fifth is where

01:06:38he still is.

01:06:39So, Michael Schumacher

01:06:40is in the lead

01:06:41and Michael Schumacher

01:06:42is in the lead

01:07:50I was saying

01:07:51I was saying

01:07:52these drivers are superlatively fit

01:07:53these drivers are superlatively fit

01:07:54and there is absolutely

01:07:55you'll know better than I do

01:07:56and there is absolutely

01:07:57you'll know better than I do

01:07:58Martin, heaven knows

01:07:59Martin, heaven knows

01:08:00but there is absolutely

01:08:01no respite at all at Monaco

01:08:02but there is absolutely

01:08:03no respite at all at Monaco

01:08:04I think they're a bunch of wussies

01:08:05I think they're a bunch of wussies

01:08:06we used to change gear

01:08:072700 times around here

01:08:08so it's made pretty easy for them

01:08:09so it's made pretty easy for them

01:08:10in that respect

01:08:11but for sure the pace is very hot

01:08:12but for sure the pace is very hot

01:08:13Yeah, in those days

01:08:14you literally physically

01:08:15had to move the gear lever

01:08:16had to move the gear lever

01:08:17and coordinate the engine revs

01:08:18and the clutch

01:12:01is back here

01:12:07I had a word with Nigel Stepney

01:12:08I had a word with Nigel Stepney

01:12:09the English chief mechanic

01:12:10the English chief mechanic

01:12:11of Ferrari

01:12:12who took on the responsibility

01:12:13of handling the nozzle end

01:12:14of the fuel ring

01:12:15of the fuel ring

01:12:16a very demanding job

01:12:17a very demanding job

01:12:18and he's got a bit of binding

01:12:19and he's got a bit of binding

01:12:20around his leg

01:12:21but he's perfectly alright

01:12:22with that situation

01:12:23with that situation

01:12:24where Michael Schumacher

01:12:25ran over Stepney

01:12:26because there's so many of us

01:12:27would like to run him over

01:12:28and he beat us to it

01:12:29but I'm only joking

01:12:30because Stepney

01:12:31he can be a bit

01:12:32a bit abrasive can Nigel

01:12:33but he's a good guy

01:12:34does a brilliant job

01:12:35for the Ferrari team

01:12:36but I know they've got

01:12:37a few people to fill in for him

01:12:38and it's really nice

01:12:39to see him back at the races

01:12:40to see him back at the races

01:12:41So Michael Schumacher

01:12:42So Michael Schumacher

01:12:43is on his 26th lap

01:12:44is on his 26th lap

01:12:4549 laps left

01:12:4649 laps left

01:12:47if my arithmetic

01:12:48if my arithmetic

01:12:49is correct

01:12:50is correct

01:12:51and he's continuing

01:12:52to stride away

01:12:53with this race

01:12:54it's not so much

01:12:55a question of who wins

01:12:56provided Michael Schumacher

01:12:57keeps going

01:12:58to his fifth victory

01:12:59at Monaco

01:13:00to match that

01:13:01at Monaco

01:13:02to match that

01:13:03of the great Graham Hill

01:13:04of the great Graham Hill

01:13:05as who's going to be second

01:13:06as who's going to be second

01:13:07because things could

01:13:08very well change

01:13:09because things could

01:13:10very well change

01:13:11because we're getting

01:13:12to a situation now

01:13:13because we're getting

01:13:14to a situation now

01:13:15with Jarno Trulli,

01:13:16Coulthard,

01:13:17Frentzen, Hacken

01:13:18and Schumacher

01:13:19and Alessi

01:13:20between them

01:13:21on the track

01:13:22and things are going to depend

01:13:23on the skill

01:13:24and the speed

01:13:25and the dexterity

01:13:26and the dexterity

01:13:27of their pit crews

01:13:28when they come in

01:13:29with very hot engines

01:13:30stop

01:13:31up go the cars

01:13:32and David Coulthard

01:13:33and sorry

01:13:34Micah Hacken

01:13:35and having a look

01:13:36at Heinz-Harald Frentzen

01:13:37will have nothing of it

01:13:38so there are

01:13:39the fourth,

01:13:40fifth

01:13:41and sixth

01:13:42men together

01:13:43and Rubens Barrichello

01:13:44still down

01:13:45in that eighth place

01:13:46he can't do anything

01:13:47about Jean Alessi

01:13:48this race

01:13:49is going to depend

01:13:50in the end analysis

01:13:51on how good

01:13:52the pit crews are

01:13:53I have no doubt

01:13:54about that at all

01:13:55with 17

01:13:56of the 22

01:13:57starters left

01:13:58that is

01:13:59Ralph Schumacher

01:14:00and here is

01:14:01ah

01:14:02Frentzen

01:14:03Hacken

01:14:04Schumacher

01:14:05Alessi

01:14:06Barrichello

01:14:07in eighth position

01:14:08Fisichella

01:14:09in ninth position

01:14:10look back

01:14:11you just missed

01:14:12Jenny Irvine

01:14:13who is still

01:14:14in tenth position

01:14:15I say still

01:14:16somehow

01:14:17behind

01:14:18still

01:14:19somehow or other

01:14:20unseen by us

01:14:21he's gone ahead

01:14:22of Johnny Herbert

01:14:23yes

01:14:24Frentzen's made a slip

01:14:25going through

01:14:26Casino Square

01:14:27we haven't seen it

01:14:28it showed up

01:14:29on the computer

01:14:30he's a half a second down

01:14:31on the first sector

01:14:32of this lap

01:14:33so Frentzen

01:14:34the first to show

01:14:35any signs

01:14:36of slight cracking

01:14:37but ah

01:14:38it wasn't enough

01:14:39of a mistake

01:14:40to let Hacken

01:14:41through

01:14:42but Hacken

01:14:43is certainly

01:14:44having a good look

01:14:45as he went into

01:14:46Mirabeau

01:14:47up in Casino

01:14:48well we're looking now

01:14:49at Jacques Villeneuve

01:14:50in the Honda

01:14:51Powered B.A.R.

01:14:52he is in

01:14:53fifteenth position

01:14:54pursued

01:14:55by his teammate

01:14:56Riccardo Zonta

01:14:57racing at Monaco

01:14:58for the first time

01:14:59and back again

01:15:00now

01:15:01Zonta is

01:15:02last for one

01:15:03and there

01:15:04you've just seen him

01:15:05exiting the pool

01:15:06and here is

01:15:07Schumacher

01:15:08entering

01:15:09and now

01:15:10leaving it

01:15:11so the gap

01:15:12between the first

01:15:13and the last

01:15:14on the track

01:15:15is getting smaller

01:15:16and smaller

01:15:17Michael Schumacher

01:15:18is going to have

01:15:19a traffic problem soon

01:15:20are the Ferrari people

01:15:21going to bring him in

01:15:22well it's lap

01:15:23twenty-seven now

01:15:24the earliest

01:15:25I would have expected him

01:15:26is round about

01:15:27lap thirty-five

01:15:28so we're going to be

01:15:29seeing Schumacher

01:15:30deal with traffic

01:15:31which could give the

01:15:32others the opportunity

01:15:33to close up

01:15:34yeah they've got to get

01:15:35through too

01:15:36but I think

01:15:37Michael's as good

01:15:38as any of them

01:15:39through the traffic

01:15:40and they certainly

01:15:41won't be bringing him

01:15:42in early

01:15:43there's absolutely

01:15:44no need

01:15:45for a strategy

01:15:46that's absolutely

01:15:47for sure

01:15:48and

01:15:49as I was saying

01:15:50earlier on

01:15:51getting that pole

01:15:52position is so

01:15:53important here

01:15:54Schumacher got it

01:15:55he got a superb

01:15:56start

01:15:57he's had a clear

01:15:58track

01:15:59everybody else

01:16:00is fighting each

01:16:01other behind him

01:16:02and

01:16:03oh and

01:16:04Heinz-Harald Frentzen

01:16:05is looking a bit

01:16:06ragged there

01:16:07or was

01:16:08as he came

01:16:09round Sainte-Devote

01:16:10because Mika Häkkinen

01:16:11is pushing

01:16:12extremely hard

01:16:13yeah Frentzen

01:16:14is struggling

01:16:15with the rear tyres

01:16:16maybe they're going

01:16:17over pressure

01:16:18a little bit

01:16:19or certainly

01:16:20can be going off

01:16:21the rubber

01:16:22compound breaking

01:16:23down a bit

01:16:24but he's now

01:16:25surely struggling

01:16:26as Johnny Herbert

01:16:27is in for

01:16:28what must be

01:16:29an unscheduled

01:16:30stop

01:16:31the mechanics

01:16:32are not ready

01:16:33and he's not on

01:16:34his mark

01:16:35so I would

01:16:36imagine

01:16:37Johnny's got

01:16:38some other

01:16:39kind of problem

01:16:40than needing

01:16:41a new set

01:16:42of tyres

01:16:43which have been

01:16:44leaking oil pipe

01:16:45or something

01:16:46more serious

01:16:47but they seem

01:16:48to be changing

01:16:49the wheels

01:16:50and getting him

01:16:51out again

01:16:52but anyway

01:16:53he's slipped

01:16:54right back

01:16:55to the rear

01:16:56of the field

01:16:57yes Barrichello

01:16:58and Fisichella

01:16:59now beginning

01:17:00to home in

01:17:01on the back

01:17:02of Alessi

01:17:03Rubens quickest

01:17:04in the warm-up

01:17:05this morning

01:17:06as I said

01:17:07I think he's

01:17:08going to be

01:17:09a bit disappointed

01:17:10that he's not

01:17:11really shown

01:17:12up for the

01:17:13race

01:17:14so obviously

01:17:15there was not

01:17:16an engine

01:17:17problem

01:17:18I hasten

01:17:19to say

01:17:20and I say

01:17:21Frentzen

01:17:22is now four

01:17:23seconds behind

01:17:24Coulthard

01:17:25but he's

01:17:26holding up

01:17:27Hakkinen

01:17:28and Schumacher

01:17:29and Alessi

01:17:30who are all

01:17:31within three

01:17:32seconds

01:17:33now Johnny's

01:17:34about to be

01:17:35lapped

01:17:36so he's going

01:17:37to have to

01:17:38yield quite

01:17:39quickly to

01:17:40the ferocious

01:17:41Coulthard

01:17:42cleared

01:17:43the Herbert Jaguar

01:17:44as he was coming

01:17:45out of the pits

01:17:46but Frentzen

01:17:47Hakkinen

01:17:48and Co

01:17:49are all going

01:17:50to arrive

01:17:51and I think

01:17:52Johnny

01:17:53will, that's

01:17:54Wurz

01:17:55recovering himself

01:17:56back to the

01:17:57paddock

01:17:58but Johnny

01:17:59will have to be

01:18:00pulling over

01:18:01I think

01:18:02and letting

01:18:03that little

01:18:04train

01:18:05through

01:18:06into the

01:18:07tunnel

01:18:08the leader

01:18:09out of it

01:18:10but

01:18:11Frentzen

01:18:12and Coulthard

01:18:13Jordan

01:18:14and McLaren

01:18:15second and

01:18:16third

01:18:17come towards

01:18:18the tabac

01:18:19now Frentzen

01:18:20fourth

01:18:21Hakkinen

01:18:22fifth

01:18:23Schumacher

01:18:24sixth

01:18:25Alessi

01:18:26seventh

01:18:27Barrichello

01:18:28eighth

01:18:29Fisichella

01:18:30ninth

01:18:31Johnny Herbert

01:18:32has been

01:18:33lapped

01:18:34and the gap

01:18:35between Fisichella

01:18:36and Eddie Irvine

01:18:37who is tenth

01:18:38is some

01:18:40they're on their way

01:18:41just closing up

01:18:42all the time

01:18:43isn't it

01:18:44so Frentzen

01:18:45struggling

01:18:46the rear grip

01:18:47as we know

01:18:48and we're getting

01:18:49a little bit of

01:18:50traffic jam

01:18:51there behind him

01:18:52Coulthard

01:18:53now five

01:18:54seconds ahead

01:18:55of that little

01:18:56battle

01:18:57you can see

01:18:58virtually

01:18:59the whole of

01:19:00the uphill section

01:19:01before they

01:19:02pop over the

01:19:03blind crest

01:19:04into Casino

01:19:05where they are

01:19:06now

01:19:07and Coulthard

01:19:08from my point of view

01:19:09absolutely nothing

01:19:10he can do about it

01:19:11provided

01:19:12Jarno Trulli

01:19:13stays his ground

01:19:14Keats Poole

01:19:15occupies the part

01:19:16of the track

01:19:17that David Coulthard

01:19:18would like to be in

01:19:19to get past him

01:19:20it's the battle

01:19:21behind Frentzen

01:19:22with Hakkinen

01:19:23Schumacher

01:19:24and Alessi

01:19:25that is interesting

01:19:26me most

01:19:27we're looking at it

01:19:28now

01:19:29and you can see

01:19:30that the Williams team

01:19:31have opted

01:19:32like the rest of them

01:19:33for the maximum

01:19:34downforce

01:19:35of this circuit

01:19:36downforce is everything

01:19:37but Williams

01:19:38have gone for it

01:19:39a unique way

01:19:40by putting that

01:19:41high wing

01:19:42and Fisichella

01:19:43has a look at

01:19:44Rubens Barrichello

01:19:45and fails to

01:19:46scramble through

01:19:47on the exit

01:19:48from the tunnel

01:19:49into the chicane

01:19:50but nothing

01:19:51ventured

01:19:52nothing gained

01:19:53can you imagine

01:19:54being an Italian

01:19:55driver

01:19:56watching a Ferrari

01:19:57loom up on your nose

01:19:58as you're about

01:19:59to barge him

01:20:00out of the race

01:20:01but the Prost

01:20:02going down

01:20:03the escape route

01:20:04is that Alessi

01:20:05or is that Heidfeld

01:20:06there's some sort

01:20:07of kerfuffle

01:20:08between Alessi

01:20:09Barrichello

01:20:10and Fisichella

01:20:11there

01:20:12although Alessi

01:20:13was a second or so

01:20:14ahead of the Ferrari

01:20:15but it looks to be

01:20:16yes

01:20:17Rubens Barrichello

01:20:18is ahead of

01:20:19Jean Alessi

01:20:20he's up into

01:20:21seventh position

01:20:22he's got four seconds

01:20:23between himself

01:20:24and Ralf Schumacher

01:20:25and we'll soon see

01:20:26whether the Ferrari

01:20:27can make up

01:20:28that ground

01:20:29making up is one thing

01:20:30getting past

01:20:31is quite another

01:20:32and Mika Häkkinen

01:20:33is again

01:20:34pushing

01:20:35he's just gone

01:20:36through the first sector

01:20:37fastest of all

01:20:38and you can see him

01:20:39right behind

01:20:40Heinz Brandt

01:20:41Heinz Heldt

01:20:42Fredsons Jordans

01:20:43yes I think

01:20:44there's so much more

01:20:45pace in those McLarens

01:20:46than they're able to show

01:20:47at the moment

01:20:48particularly now

01:20:49in the early part of the race

01:20:50I think it was

01:20:51nip and tuck

01:20:52with the Jordans

01:20:53but right now

01:20:54I think both McLarens

01:20:55have got a lot of speed

01:20:56in their pockets

01:20:57and they just

01:20:58cannot use it

01:20:59which is a shame for us

01:21:00and a shame for

01:21:01the race later on

01:21:02Michael Schumacher now

01:21:03a new fastest lap

01:21:0432.948

01:21:06his lead is

01:21:0728 seconds

01:21:08plus

01:21:09whatever

01:21:10these guys do

01:21:11and that's a

01:21:12Sauber with a

01:21:13bent left rear

01:21:14that's obviously

01:21:15out of the race

01:21:16and that's a

01:21:17tricky position

01:21:18to

01:21:19to

01:21:20recover that car

01:21:21from

01:21:22he's obviously

01:21:23hit the

01:21:24Sandevot barrier

01:21:25that's effectively

01:21:26on the racing line

01:21:27I don't think

01:21:28there's a crane

01:21:29that'll reach that far

01:21:30is there

01:21:31he's putting a

01:21:32strap

01:21:33through the

01:21:34rollover hoop

01:21:35look

01:21:36so

01:21:37I just wonder

01:21:38if they may

01:21:39if the crane will

01:21:40reach that far

01:21:41it's easy to

01:21:42recover that car

01:21:43but I would have

01:21:44thought that's

01:21:45stretching a little bit

01:21:46you've seen the crane

01:21:47in action down

01:21:48at Sandevot

01:21:49many times

01:21:50and the

01:21:51double wave

01:21:52yellows there

01:21:53meaning Marshall's

01:21:54on track

01:21:55I'm wondering

01:21:56whether they're

01:21:57going to bring

01:21:58the safety car

01:21:59out because

01:22:00that's a very

01:22:01dangerous place

01:22:02round

01:22:03Sandevot

01:22:04at about 70 miles

01:22:05an hour

01:22:06I'd rather them than me

01:22:07they've got to

01:22:08wheel that car

01:22:09backwards downhill

01:22:10into the range

01:22:11of that crane

01:22:12I would guess

01:22:13but it hasn't made

01:22:14any changes

01:22:15to the people

01:22:16at the front

01:22:17safety car

01:22:18standing by

01:22:19it says on the

01:22:20computer here

01:22:21safety car

01:22:22standing by

01:22:23which means

01:22:24just about

01:22:25nothing really

01:22:26except they're

01:22:27obviously

01:22:28considering

01:22:29they'll see

01:22:30remember we've

01:22:31got the

01:22:32underbelly will be

01:22:33on the deck

01:22:34that may not be

01:22:35such an easy car

01:22:36to move

01:22:37although the

01:22:38Marshalls here

01:22:39tend to lift

01:22:40them up and

01:22:41throw a little

01:22:42trolley underneath

01:22:43at least they've

01:22:44got gravity

01:22:45working with

01:22:46them to help

01:22:47get that

01:22:48down the hill

01:22:49into the range

01:22:50of the crane

01:22:51and meanwhile

01:22:52Coulthard

01:22:53as ever

01:22:54pressing the

01:22:55back

01:22:56it's Charlie

01:22:58who is the

01:22:59race director

01:23:00the blue flags

01:23:01waving there

01:23:02which means

01:23:03that someone is

01:23:04behind you

01:23:05who wants to

01:23:06and is entitled

01:23:07to get past

01:23:08but Charlie

01:23:09Whiting

01:23:10is the race

01:23:11director
