# About this circuit
# Monaco is probably the most famous Grand Prix of all. A tight, demanding street circuit at which overtaking is almost impossible, meaning pole position can be decisive. The circuit is very hard on the drivers, with a typical lap requiring 36 gear changes - a total of over 2800 per race! It is not so hard on the engine of the car, as it is rarely operating on full power.

The roads have very little grip to begin with, so in wet weather, the sight of cars sliding into the barriers is very common. Teams raise the driving height of their cars, and opt for high downforce on this circuit.
