2024 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix Highlights

Hear from McLaren Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and Team Principal Andrea Stella after the 2024 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix.

It’s a tense start to the race, with a crash on Lap 1 bringing out a Red Flag. Oscar also picked up some damage on Lap 1, but the team took care of it as best they could during the Red Flag delay. Oscar (P2) and Lando (P4) swap onto the Hards under the Red Flag to go to the end of the race. Leclerc (P1) and Sainz (P3) both do the same. There is a standing restart once the track is cleared, which is incident-free, and both McLaren’s hold their position. Russell drops back from Lando, which may open up a window for a pit stop. None of the top four end up making a pit stop. Oscar crosses the line in P2, his season’s first podium, with Lando in P4.

Lando Norris

A good team result. A lot of points on the board, which is exactly what we wanted. But as we expected, there were no opportunities to move forward, especially after the Red Flag at the beginning. It was unlucky that we got put down to fourth again after the first start; that would have been lovely! But there wasn’t a lot we could do on a day like today. We stayed in there, got good points for the team, and that’s the main thing.

Oscar Piastri

That was a tricky race. The pace at the beginning was incredibly slow. I had half a look before the tunnel but didn’t have a car small enough to fit through the gap. Thanks to the whole team who have worked so hard. It’s been a great weekend all around, and what better place to get a result like that than Monaco? It’s special to achieve a podium in Senna’s colours, too, given his incredible record around these streets.

Andrea Stella

Hats off to Ferrari and Charles Leclerc, they’ve been quick all weekend and deserved the victory. For us, well done to the entire team for delivering a fast car and to the trackside team for always being on the ball and managing some intense operational moments this weekend – from clearing Lando’s car of debris during Qualifying to dealing with a difficult Red Flag situation today. It’s an important result here in Monaco, with Oscar scoring an impressive podium and Lando right behind on a circuit that we weren’t certain would suit our car. It’s a lot of points – but also evidence that we can be regular contenders for the podium. We look at the coming races with optimism.
