Sun, sea, glitz, glamour and Formula 1. Mix them all together and you get the Monaco Grand Prix. Round 6 of the Formula 1 world championship.

The most anticipated and one of the most famous grands prix on the F1 calendar. Although very exciting, the race usually turns out to be a procession. With very little room for overtaking. The winner is usually the one who gets out of turn 1 at the start of the race unscathed.

There has been lots of chatter about Mercedes’ advantage being eroded with Red Bull staging a recovery after Sebastian Vettel’s strong performance at the Spanish Grand Prix. Lotus put in a rather strong performance at the Spanish Grand Prix and there’s word that they will finish ahead of Ferrari in Monaco. Talking about Ferrari, they seem to have gone backwards. There is talk that they will be much better in Monaco, but thats exactly what it is at this moment, talk.

Be that as it may, Mercedes are still the team to beat and with the superior performance of the W05 it looks like we’re in for another weekend where Mercedes will dominate.

The Monaco street circuit is tight, and twisty and narrow with little to no room for driver error. Its physically as well as mentally demanding on the drivers. The Red Super Soft compound tyre from Pirelli makes its debut this season along with the Yellow Soft compound.
