🇲🇨 Monte Carlo, MonacoStreet circuit
Circuit de Monaco.
Monaco turns everyday streets into Formula 1’s most intimate driving test. The short lap squeezes elevation changes, a hairpin, a tunnel and a swimming-pool chicane between barriers. Precision and confidence matter everywhere; open space to recover from a mistake is rare.

KEY SECTIONS
T1
Sainte Dévote
The first corner funnels the field towards the climb. Braking accuracy matters more than the modest-looking distance suggests.
T6–9
Hairpin to tunnel
The slow hairpin is followed by an entirely different challenge: building speed through Portier and into the tunnel.
T13–16
The Swimming Pool
Rapid direction changes close to the barriers make this a clear demonstration of driver confidence and car response.
Setup focus
Low-speed rotation and confidence near the walls dominate the lap. Watch a driver build speed over successive attempts rather than just the final time.
Racing focus
Qualifying position and the timing of stops deserve close attention because passing room is limited. Traffic can matter even when the car ahead is slower.
