The most anticipated session of the weekend is just around the corner: Monaco GP qualifying! In the heart of the glamorous principality, drivers will battle for every millisecond, because here, more than anywhere else, the starting position is absolutely crucial for the final result. Monaco is infamous for its narrow streets where overtaking is nearly impossible, transforming every qualifying session into a true spectacle of supreme driving skill and strategic prowess.
Every inch of this legendary street circuit will be used with utmost concentration to set the fastest possible lap time. However, this extreme precision often leads to mistakes, and even crashes, resulting in yellow or red flags that can completely disrupt someone’s session and snatch away their chance at a good result. The tension is palpable, and the pressure on the drivers is immense.
