Lap 1 We’re off! And amazingly, Lotus continue their good starts, with Franklin going around the outside of Bomeny into turn 1!
Lap 1 Oli Peacock hasn’t shared that same luck, as he falls down to 17th.
Lap 1 Coolidge has out-braked himself down into the Nouvelle chicane. He can’t quite get the power down straight away, and falls down to 4th! That’s terrible luck.
Lap 4 Varga gets a little wide into turn 1, he was lucky not to hit the wall there. However, it has allowed Ingram to surge up the inside. Kingshark is hot on his tail now too.
Lap 5 Yep, it wasn’t too long before Kingshark was able to get alongside into the Nouvelle chicane, and make it into 5th.
Lap 10Cucamest has made another mistake, pushing him down to 19th.
Lap 12 Morley is looking a little more confident now, as he pulls a pass on Haddleton down into turn 1. This has to be the most overtaking we’ve seen around the streets of Monte Carlo!
