The Monaco Grand Prix is the highlight of the F1 calendar, epitomizing the glitz, glamour and playboy lifestyle of the formula 1 circus. It’s the race every driver wants to win above all others, and is arguably the hardest to conquer: the circuit’s tight, twisting street track and high walls ruthlessly punish driver error while making passes difficult.
Nico Rosberg has won Monaco the last two seasons in a row, and will be desperate to make it a hat-trick this Sunday as he seeks to close the 20-point gap to teammate Lewis Hamilton at the top of the Drivers Championship. With the Briton on Pole, however, the German will have his work cut out: the last ten pole sitters have gone on to win at Monaco in dry conditions.
For the rest of the grid, it’s a simple case of playing catch-up: Mercedes already have a 70 point lead in the Constructors Championship, dominating the podium again two weeks ago in Spain. Sebastian Vettel’s Ferrari was more than half-a-second off the pace in qualifying.
