MONACOCircuit de Monaco
You know the landmarks. The drivers still have to thread a car between them. Monaco makes every bit of available road feel valuable.

Where the lap is won. And lost.
THE CITY CLIMB
Get it placed.
The opening streets leave little margin. This is a lap built around precision rather than spare track width.
THE HARBOUR RUN
Keep it neat.
The circuit keeps changing direction around the harbour. One untidy moment can spoil the next part of the lap.
THE SWIMMING POOL
Watch the commitment.
The tight changes through the Swimming Pool are a reminder that narrow does not mean slow.
Monte Carlo, on your clock.
