Possibly the most colourful and glamorous Grand Prix on the calendar, Monaco has hosted this race since 1955. The famous street circuit is lined by Armco barriers, making it a tight and twisty track that is unforgiving as there are no gravel traps or run off areas. Driving precision is therefore vital and it is a tough race all round. For drivers it's incredibly demanding as there is very little time to relax as the corners come up so fast, with the narrow track requiring great concentration. Cars need to run with maximum downforce on this circuit as the average corner speeds are low and heavy braking is required. It's almost impossible to overtake as there is only one very short straight and that's under the tunnel.
