Monaco Grand Prix

Monaco Grand Prix

Circuit de Monaco

Summary

Winding through La Condamine and Monte Carlo, technical driving is the name of the game in the Monaco GP. Offering notoriously few opportunities to overtake and with qualifying often determining the shape of the race, Team Principals will need to think strategically on the Mediterranean coastline.

Suggested Setup

Suggested car setup and attribute focus for Circuit de Monaco:

  1. Low speed cornering is crucial
  2. Focusing on medium speed cornering and acceleration are also recommended
  3. Favours cars with stats focused on downforce

Tips & Tricks

Monaco has a reputation as a circuit with very few chances for drivers to overtake or battle for position, which can make practice and qualifying even more important.

  1. Placement in qualifying can determine your final points at the end of the GP, so consider pushing even harder than usual. With only one pit stop likely in the GP, don’t be afraid to use softs for each round of qualifying. 
  2. Good technical driving at Monaco can make up for an underpowered car as you’re unlikely to see top speeds, making it a valuable opportunity to earn some points.
  3. Drivers will likely bunch up frequently in Monaco, so there may be opportunities to make incremental gains whenever a gap presents itself.

2024 Race Replay

There's not long left at Monaco, but Mercedes have a chance to up their number of points. The vast majority of the field changed tyres during the lap 1 red flag, and with Tsunoda a comfortable distance behind, Hamilton has a free pit stop. With overtaking being notoriously hard at this street circuit, how Mercedes handles this opportunity will make all the difference to the final point count.
