Myself, I remember, I went to see the Monte-Carlo stages in the region of Chambery. It’s true the Berlinette is still a legendary car, as there are few. The proof with this concept is that, since it was announced, everyone is talking about the rebirth of the Alpine brand. 02.35 VO With a 3.5L V6 engine, and two Formula 1 World Champions behind it, the future for the new A110-50 looks bright... 02.55 JINGLE – DRIVING SCHOOL A guide to racing the Monaco Circuit 02.59 VO Championship leader, Robin Frijns, has a guide to this famous street circuit ITV Robin Frijns #4 (NED) Fortec Motosports (In English) You arrive at St Devote first corner around 200 – 220kph you have to hit the kerb or else you go wide on the exit and hit the wall as the walls are very close here. The exit is very important because it goes up and you need the speed. Corner 3 is a long left-hander. If you are flying you have understeer and you smash into the wall.

Corner 5 has a big bank in the middle of the corner which you have to get in but if you’re not in you just have no grip at all. Short hairpin... The tunnel is amazing also tricky at one point. The little chicane after the tunnel is tricky on braking because it goes down, its easy to lock a wheel... Then Tabac, another tricky corner – every corner here is tricky as the walls are there and it’s a really quick corner as well. 04.05 Then it’s Swimming Pool, also really quick but if you’re not going in like you should do, you’ll lose the rear in the middle of the corner. Fast chicane, 4 th gear, about 180kph. Corner 15 and 16 is a very tight chicane which is hard to look for your apex and the exit is also difficult on power, the back comes out, it’s easy to hit the wall. Rascasse is also hard on braking because you turn AND brake, it’s easy to lock a wheel because the load is off the left-front. It’s first or second gear, then you go to corner 18 which is a really nice corner, you turn in, some understeer, then you go on the power then you go back off, it just snaps on the oversteer and you slightly go to the wall on the exit. Then – you just cross the line and hopefully you’re on pole! 04.55 JINGLE – MY CAREER Close Up on Jules Bianchi 04.59 VO Coming from Nice, Jules Bianchi is practically at home this weekend for the Formula Renault 3.5 meeting in Monaco. The Frenchman knows he can count on the support of his family and fans. 05.13 Interview with Jules Bianchi (FRA) #8 Tech 1 Racing (in French) Renault Sport Technologies Tél. : +33 (0)1 76 82 82 00 Z.A. Courtaboeuf Fax. : 33 (0)1 76 82 83 75 14, avenue des Tropiques Internet : www.renault-sport.com Of91 course978 Courtaboeuf it’s Cedex always - France nice to drive in Monaco, it’s a famous track with some great corners. It’s great to drive here. Then, as you say, I come from Nice, not far away from here. All my family will come to see me and obviously it’s pretty special to drive in front of your supporters. The pressure is always there; now of course with my family attending a meeting like this, that adds a little bit pressure but the main thing is to do a good job. That’s the focus. And I try not to put too much pressure on myself. 05.49 VO It’s not the first time Jules races on the streets of the Principality. He has competed here the two last two years in GP2, with a podium in 2010. This experience will no doubt be useful for him for this weekend. 06.01 Interview with Jules Bianchi (FRA) #8 Tech 1 Racing (in French) Of course it’s always useful to know the track. It will be useful for me, clearly. I will be more confident during qualifying even if I couldn’t run this morning during Free Practice. I will already have my reference points but the car is different, the tyres are different, there are lots of things that are not the same between 3.5 Series and GP2. 06.20 VO This year, he made a surprise switch to World Series by Renault from GP2 – a decision prompted by the arrival of the new Formula Renault 3.5 car which is now much closer to Formula 1. 06.35 Interview with Jules Bianchi (FRA) #8 Tech 1 Racing (in French) No, I think the 3.5 is now the direct competitor to GP2. There was no alternative. Since I run on Friday mornings in Formula 1, I couldn’t run in GP2 anymore. The 3.5 is a better car this year. It has evolved with the DRS. It has more power and more aerodynamic and mechanical grip. So I think this is a very good choice and I’m not at all disappointed with this choice. 07.00 VO Jules Bianchi has a very busy schedule this season. Member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, he’s also the Force India’s reserve driver in Formula One and will do at least nine Friday-morning practice sessions. Is it hard to balance the two important, separate roles? 07.12 Interview with Jules Bianchi (FRA) #8 Tech 1 Racing (in French) Renault Sport Technologies Tél. : +33 (0)1 76 82 82 00 Z.A. Courtaboeuf Fax. : 33 (0)1 76 82 83 75 14, avenue des Tropiques Internet : www.renault-sport.com No,91 978 I thinkCourtaboeuf we Cedex should - France just get things in perspective. When I’m in Formula One, my thinking is about Formula 1 and I focus on the goal set by Force India, and here it’s different goal. I just try to keep perspective and to have two different spirits for both paddocks even if at the end it’s still racing. Formula 1 and here… it’s the same thing. So at the end of the day it’s always the same goal. 07.35 VO By racing in Formula Renault 3.5, Jules hopes to follow Sebastian Vettel, the reigning Formula One World Champion, who gained his experience in World Series before joining Formula One 07.43 Interview with Jules Bianchi (FRA) #8 Tech 1 Racing (in French) A lot of Formula One drivers come from 3.5, and as a proof there is a World Champion who comes from here. So I think it’s a really good series. 07.59 JINGLE – WSR 08.03 >>Break<< Renault Sport Technologies Tél. : +33 (0)1 76 82 82 00 Z.A.
