Hi fellow Steemians!
I completely forgot that the first practice session of the Monaco GP was on Thursdays. For those unaware, unlike other GPs, Monaco's first practice session starts on Thursdays not Fridays because of high traffic around the circuit area (which obviously is a city centre).
Anyway, let's take a look at some points to look out for this weekend!
Hypersoft tyres!
It's the first time F1 is showcasing the hyper soft tyres, which are supposed to be the softest tyre ever. It's the most stickiest tyre ever, but also will degrade more quickly. Will it make a huge difference in the results?
Will Hamilton continue his form?
Lewis Hamilton has risen from his poor form at the very beginning of the season and has won the last two races. Will he continue his good form or will Ferrari stop him? We'll find out soon.
What actions will Monaco bring?
Monaco is one of the oldest and arguably the most important race of the season. It's also a very narrow track that's sure to bring lots of drama. What will be in store this weekend?
Charles LeClerc's home turf
Sauber's Charles LeCler's been doing quite well in the last two races. Now he's in his home town in Monaco. Will he be able to continue his good form for his home fans?
Brendan Hartley's drama
Brendan Hartley's position at Toro Rosso has been in the clouds recently. There are rumours that he may lose his seat in the team. To quash such rumours, he has to get results and I wonder if he'll be able to do that in the notorious Monaco GP.
Will Grosjean finish the race this time?
Everything seems to have really happened in the last two races and again, Grosjean hasn't finished his last two GPs, crashing out of both. Will he finally be able to complete a GP? We'll see.
Conclusion
Monaco has an amazing reputation for a reason. It's one of the most exciting GPs in the calendar. I can't wait to see what's in store. If you didn't know the practice session was on today (right now actually), then turn your TV on!
