Hello everyone, welcome to our channel, we are going to listen to Kim Antonelli, let's listen to him.
How have you found your first day as a Formula 1 driver around Monaco? How was it for a rookie out there?
It's pretty good fun with the F1 around here. It's tricky to find the right balance and strike the maximum out of the tyre.
I think today we've been trying a lot of different things, especially with the soft, especially in terms of warm-up,
because it's really hard to extract the grip, especially in that lap one.
But overall I think I learned a lot during the day and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
Clean sessions for you, which is of course so important around Monaco, but pace-wise,
do you know where you and George are matching up? Because it looks quite interesting between McLaren and Ferrari in terms of that top pack.
Yes, definitely. We know Ferrari is always very strong here and McLaren has been strong the whole season,
but you never know what fuel load the other are using in terms of power.
But we're just trying to focus on ourselves, trying to focus on myself, trying to improve every session in order to be ready for tomorrow.
Yes, the Mercedes struggle is continuing, also on today's better practice too.
He's right, we will never know what kind of fuel, how many kilograms of fuel they are using,
but I think it will be very impressive if we see the Mercedes at the Q3, let's say.
I think they will struggle a lot. I think that one of them will eliminate at the Q2, but we will see what will happen tomorrow.
It will be, let's say, more interesting to watch qualifying than the race.
