The Circuit de Monaco is a street circuit laid out on the city streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine around the harbour of the Principality of Monaco. The track is known for being narrow and difficult to overtake, thus race strategy and smart driving are essential for a successful race.
Charles Leclerc looking forward to another "special" Monaco Grand Prix
Charles Leclerc is the only Monegasque driver on the circuit, and this will be his eighth Formula 1 race at home. As in recent years, he will enjoy plenty of support at the Circuit de Monaco.
“I mean as good as last year and the years before. It is always very special for me because those are the streets where I've grown up." he said during media day.
Ferrari has had a slow start to the season, sitting fourth in the championship with 78 points, 146 behind leaders Red Bull, and Leclerc believes it will take something "special" to catch them this weekend.
