Its race weekend and the 5th track on the calendar for 2021 is picturesque Monaco! Its been 2 years since we last had a GP here. Tsunoda, Mazepin and Schumacher havent driven an F1 car around this circuit, and its been 3 years for Alonso since his last time around here.
Just like Spain there will be very little overtaking opportunities. Unlike Spain however, drivers get punished for almost any mistake with walls going the length of track. This circuit really separates the men from the boys. Hardly a moment to relax for entire 90 minutes worth of driving.
Just one DRS zone which isnt even the main place for an overtake, with the swimming pool chicane that comes out of the tunnel being the best place to make a move. Drivers also have the safety net of running through the corner with no repercussions if they are too late on the breaks.
Our own Dan Ricciardo has had some big moments at this track, and no-one could ever forget this disaster:
I still dont think ive seen a team before or after, bring their driver into the pits with no tyres ready. The fact it happened to an Australian underdog that was leading the race still pisses me off.
Anyway when Red Bull pit crew arent being s**t campaigners, the drivers themselves to do some pretty ridiculous stuff too:
