The Monaco Grand Prix is the eighth round of the season, as well as being Charles Leclerc’s home race. He has twice taken pole position on this, the shortest track on the calendar at 3.337 kilometres in length, but so far he has not fared so well on the Sunday. Despite the fact that this race is run at the slowest average speed of the year, in some sections speeds can get close to the 300 km/h mark, while any mistake through its 19 corners will cost a driver dear, with damage to the car often leading to retirement. At its widest point, the track is just 10 metres across, barely enough space for two Formula 1 cars to race wheel to wheel.
