VOICE-OVER: Right next to the start-finish straight of the real Monaco circuit is a simulator, where one rising star is practising on a virtual version of the track…

01’57’’ Interview Jazeman Jaafar #12 (MAL) Carlin Racing English language

“Hi, I am Jazeman Jaafar I’m 20 years old, I’m competing in Formula Renault 3.5 and I’m racing for Carlin Motorsport. It’s been a long journey as I come from Malaysia – that’s where I started my career in a little go-kart at 6 years old. It started off as a hobby, I did club races and local championships and started winning them… And at 8 I told my Dad I wanted to be a Formula 1 driver. Moved to Europe, did Formula 3, finished 2 nd in the championship, and now I’m racing in the feeder series to Formula 1 so it’s been an incredible journey.”

02’37’’ Bruce Jouanny – Jazeman’s Manager and owner of RS Simulation English language

“I’ve been working with Jazeman for the last 5 or 6 years to reach the top of the ladder which is Formula 1. I met him when he was 13 years old and he was already very talented but we still had to build

up everything around him to make him as strong as he is today. He’s a very chilled and relaxed driver and he switches on completely as a pure racer when it’s time for the races – I actually had to calm him down in the races at the beginning because he was even too aggressive but he always kept what I saw the first day which is his original driving style which is very radical and with amazing initial braking capacities and initial release, and we’re working to perfect bits and pieces all the time and to look after the entire surroundings, to make sure he’s fit, trained, focused and ready to win races”

03’36’’ Jazeman Jaafar #12 (MAL) Carlin Racing English language

“The reason why we chose to show you the Simulator is because in Monaco there is so little track time, and I use the sim to prepare myself for the amount of mileage we could gather and practise all the good habits, and try to do lots of laps if we can. So they are doing a demo lap on the new model of the Formula Renault 3.5… To Monaco!”

04’08” CLIP DO NOT TALK

04’17’’ Bruce Jouanny – Jazeman’s Manager and owner of RS Simulation English language

“The simulator is very basic, it’s a static platform – the reason why is: 1, it’s cheaper to run, it’s cheaper for the clients, and for me it’s a better tool – when you don’t have millions like a formula 1 team it is a better tool to train drivers than a motion platform. We have a technical engineer who is the technical director of Sebastien Loeb’s

racing team, so we have , we have Maclaren models finished and up and running. We actually have Sebastien Loeb coming and training – he was here yesterday before his session – half an hour before his session, so he nearly missed his briefing, so that was funny. Like every street circuit, you never get the chance of running or training on the circuit because it’s only open – or only closed – for the races, it is the only way for the drivers to train. It’s very important because you get all the braking markers, the kerbs, the barriers. We do an update, that’s why we get all the drivers coming here training, training, memorising, visualising…basically saving some track time. I think Jazeman is getting tired!”

05’54’’ CLIP

Born just a few kilometers away from Monaco, french driver Norman Nato is our local driver for the Formula Renault 3.5 race in Monaco. A former rally driver, his father set up a car workshop then help his son. Let’s reveal the Nato story…

06’05’’ Norman Nato

French language

« Hello, I am Norman Nato, let’s discover our family workshop, were everything started… »

06’13’’ Norman Nato

French language

« Let me introduce you to my Dad, Jean-Claude »

06’18’’ Norman Nato

French language

« As a very young kids, at the age of 2 or 3, I used to go to rally races my my father. I was already passionate about motorsport, I wanted to go to every races with him… »

06’26’’ CLIP

Like father, like son : Norman got his proper quad at the age of 3, then he started racing go-karts. Family life all about racing…

06’36’’ Jean-Claude Nato

French language

« We were always away from home, but we tried not to miss school too often. So we were hitting the road at night with our truck, and it was more or less like leaving a circuit on Sunday at 6 PM, driving all night with Norman sleeping at the back in a little bed that I had built, sometimes 1000 km like that, maybe just one hour of sleep, but he was on time at school ! It was important for his mum, because we wanted to be as rigorous as possible, even if it’s always

difficult to deal with school for young go-kart drivers… »

06’58’’ CLIP

The boy was gifted behind the steering wheel, soon eligible to be upgraded in car racing, but the Nato family suffered a lack of money…

07’05’’ Jean-Claude Nato

French language

« I could have sell everything we have, mainly the workshop which is gold to me because our family started from nothing with my dad’s help, but anyway it would not have been enough money to grant Norman a drive in a decent car ! »

07’17’’ CLIP

Finally, they found some local sponsoring, and Norman was also backed by the French Motorsport Federation, like current french F1 drivers Grosjean, Pic, Bianchi and Vergne.

07’27’’ ITW Morgan Caron (french motorsport federation’s national technical director)

French language

« His goal, our goal as a Motorsport Federation, is to see Norman able one day to get a seat in Formula 1. Nevertheless, we all know how complex and difficult it is to graduate to F1… What I can say is that Norman has got all the qualities to achieve it, but he needs to keep on working, raise his game, win races and championships. He just must prove he is fully capable to show he can be a real F1 driver. If he does, there is no reason he could not make it… »

07’52’’ CLIP

A very interesting rookie so far, Norman already got one pole position with the DAMS team.

07’58’’ ITW Claire Magnant (DAMS team manager)

French language

« Norman is a really great person, a very nice bloke who immediatly felt at ease in the team, well integrated. He is quiet funny, always joking, so the human side is very positive. As a driver, he is a hard worker, persevering on everything he is involved in. Motorsport is his life, and he is fully commited to his project. »

08’16’’ CLIP

One precious card in his game : his friend Jules Bianchi, the driver, as they grew up together on go-kart tracks…

08’26’’ Norman Nato

French language

« Jules and I are quiet similar and that’s why we are close friends for such a long time. He is as funny as I am in life, we do like joking and we are both very serious when it comes about work, about our job as drivers. He is an example for me, and… YES… it’s very good I can rely on him, trust him and use his experience to go myself forward… »

08’47’’ Jean-Claude Nato

French Language

To me, It’s done ! Look how difficult it had been to achieve all this, so the 3.5 for me, it’s like he is in F1 ! The Formula 3.5 Series is a superb championship, and I have to thank Renault and everybody involved. Norman is not yet at the front, but I do consider that he is doing well this season as a rookie. »

09’04’’ Norman Nato

French Language

« I just hope it will continue that way, and that I will reach my dreams… »

09’08’’ Norman Nato

French language

« Let’s make it fun ! »

« Okay, I’m off to Monaco ! »

« Sebastian, my steering wheel ! »

« C’mon, push ! Don’t you dare to make me fall… »

Highlights FR 3.5 Qualifying

00’04’’ Opening clip - Do not Talk

00’07’’

In Monaco, the 26 drivers are split into two groups for qualifying. The fastest time overall earns pole position, with the rest of drivers from his group lining up directly behind him. The drivers from the other group would be on the other side of the grid.

00’20’’

Sunny weather, dry track, but Monaco remains a difficult circuit line up, and Dutchman NIGEL MERKER (#2 – ) proved by spinning at La Rascasse.

00’40’’

Same corner, bad moment too for Swiss ZOEL AMBERG (#25 – Pons Racing), same result : both men will start from the last row.

00’57’’

A real contender for pole, Portuguese ANTONIO FELIX DA COSTA (#3 – Arden Caterham) was unable to grab it, P6 overall.

01’07’’

More impressive, CARLOS SAINZ JUNIOR (#23 Zeta Corse), son of the former rally world champion, was about to clinch the fastest time of his group for his first appearance in the serie, when he lost his car at the exit of Swimming Pool. Anyway, P5 on the grid remained a good result.

01’21’’

Danish (#20 – DAMS), the overall championship leader coming to Monaco, was the first driver to lap in under 1’25’’,

but it was not enough.

01’32’’

His fellow countryman, MARCO SORENSEN (#9 – Lotus) did a little bit better with P3.

01’41’’

ITW MARCO SORENSEN (# 9 – Lotus) English language « It’s one small mistake I have made which probably cost me the P1, but you get maybe only two laps were you really push to the limit here, the rest of the laps you are just building up and building up and that lap, I have to say, was quiet a good lap. »

01’58

JAZEMAN JAAFAR (# 12 – Carlin), who built his pace all along the A group session, was P2 overall with mixed emotions.

02’14’’ ITW JAZEMAN JAAFAR (# 12 – Carlin) English language « I am a bit gutted not to be on pole, just by two tenth, but I mean, it’s part of racing really, so we have to fight in the race. »

02’24’’ …The fight at the start of the race will be between the Malaysian driver and a silver livery car belonging to Nico Müller ( # 18 – Draco racing), as the Swiss pulled off a surprise by claiming his first ever pole position in the category.

02’46’’ ITW NICO MULLER (# 18 – Draco racing) English language « Always here in Monaco, qualifying is a little bit of an unpredictable thing, because you never know what is going to happen with the flags, some drivers trying to make a gap, maybe you catch traffic on the last sector, all that stuff… So there is always a bit of luck involved, you also need to judge it well to be able to have the last two laps on your own and really push 100% there. And now, to put it all together to be P1 in qualifying here is great ! A first pole in the World Series in Monaco is a special thing, so I am very happy with that… »

03’18’’ We will see later on if Nico is cool minded enough to win his first victory ever in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series…

04’16’’ The ultimate destination for all racing drivers is Formula 1. And now, more than ever, Formula Renault 3.5 is the best way in…

04’26’’ ITW Arnaud BOULANGER (Competition Director – Renault Sport Technologies) French language

“What we are trying to do with the Formula Renault 3.5 is to offer a package which allows drivers to be as close as possible to Formula 1, to prepare them the best for F1, and what awaits them in F1…

Because when they arrive there, it is a shock. The performance of the car, Lots of things and people to deal with, so they should already have sufficient control and understanding of the car so that the team don’t lose a day of running or a test session because the driver isn’t fully prepared”

05’00’’ ITW Arthur PIC (#27 – AV Formula) French language

“Hello, I am Arthur Pic I am the little brother of . This year I am driving in Formula Renault 3.5. We are in Monaco now, the only race where we are with Formula 1… and the car is very close to a Formula 1 car… and my longterm objective is to be in Formula 1! Well, this is my Formula Renault 3.5 car… The main differences with a Formula 1 car are in the aerodynamics, the front & rear wings. Ours are much more simple. At the front just two flaps, in F1 there are many more flaps, and the wing is much bigger so they get much more downforce. Then there are the brakes – the carbon brakes are quite similar to F1, carbon plates & discs, which brakes really really well, much more than a normal road car. Then there is the DRS which we use to go faster on the straight – that is very close to F1, they have exactly the same system as us.

And to finish – the steering wheel. Quite simple, smaller and less buttons than Formula 1, where you have access to engine mapping, differentials – we don’t have that.”

06’18” CLIP VOICE-OVER: Arthur, like many young French drivers, is part of a development programme with the French Motorsport federation…

06’28’’ ITW Nicolas DESCHEAUX (French Motorsport Federation –FFSA- President) French language

“Formula 3.5 and the other Renault formulae are part of the strategy of excellence that the French Motorsport Federation designed for drivers of high level in order to guide and help them. It’s very difficult to say today if tomorrow they will be in F1 because the places are very difficult to take. One simply looks at the results of Arthur or Norman, they are in the antechamber, they are showing good performance, it’s up to them to keep on improving. But at the end of the day, the fennel is very tight, They NEED to attain excellence.”

07’12” CLIP VOICE-OVER: And now, it’s Grand Prix weekend in Monaco…

07’21’’ ITW Arnaud Boulanger (Competition Director – Renault Sport Technologies) French language

“Media wise, it is the most prestigious Grand Prix of the year, and it’s important because it’s a period where many drivers negotiate for the following year – a lot of deals get done at Monaco. So it’s

important to be present. We are here, the other concurrent series are also present, so it’s very good – everyone is here, so everyone benefits. Secondly – it remains a legendary Grand Prix. The chance to drive a 550bhp car in a town – that’s not given to just anybody, it’s a place that sorts the men from the boys – and the drivers who win in Monaco are always the best drivers. To win in Monaco is special.”

“I’m super-happy. To get my first victory here at Monaco in this category, it’s a very special feeling. I really can’t describe it! Happy, also for the team, for their hard work I will think every one of them

back there – my engineer, team manager, all the mechanics, above all the Team Boss – hwo helps me a lot, it’s superb to bring him this victory here as well. I think after the start, a big part of the job was done… … but you have to keep concentrating, not make mistakes. With the time-allowance of DRS to control the gap with Marco behind, then it all went relatively smoothly. Had to watch out for the cars we were lapping, a little bit of action but overall staying focused was the key to winning, and I am very happy”

“As soon as the cars stopped at the start-finish line, I was almost laughing because this is quite unreal! It’s a dream come true, and I’m really happy about it actually. I knew it was going to be hard because I didn’t prepare for more than the first corner because everything can happen in turn 1 here, so we tried to get a good start and that we accomplished. I know Nico and I know he’s not going to make a stupid mistake, so I was pushing a bit in the beginning but it was going to be almost impossible to get past him… so I saved energy by not trying too hard, then there was a gap and I couldn’t follow him any more.”

“It’s been an awesome weekend especially on a track I really enjoy driving at. I didn’t have the best start, Marco had a splendin start and I tried to fight back for it but it was too tight into Ste Devote, and I had to let it go. I kept on pushing, tried to keep up, I dropped back a little – then towards the end I saw Magnussen catching up so

I pushed and caught up to within 1.5secs of Marco and kept it consistent from there. I don’t know what to say!

Probably the first Asian driver to be on the podium here, it’s such a special event, it’s something so different and I feel so happy – I’ve never felt this happy before.”
