#MONACO F1 2021 DRIVERS#
Turn 9 (Tunnel) - A gradual right bend, taken at full throttle as drivers race through the tunnel. Turn 8 (Portier) - No point driving straight on into the sea, so take the sharp 90-degrees right of Portier. Turn 7 - (Mirabeau Bas) - Quickly into the next bend, a slow right-hander where drivers take plenty of inside kerb. The cars even need a special steering rack to be able to make it. Turn 6 (Fairmont Hairpin) - That's nothing though.now we are taking tight! Taken at only around 30mph, it's the slowest corner in Formula 1. Turn 5 (Mirabeau Haute) - Now things get a bit tighter, hug the inside kerb right up to the barrier to negotiate this hairpin. Turn 4 (Cassino) - As the name suggests, a right bend which passes the Cassino de Monte-Carlo. In the rain it's common to see cars slide off into the barrier. Turn 3 (Massenet) - On the brakes for this tight but surprisingly quick left curve. Turn 2 (Beau Rivage) - A very gentle sway from right to left, easily flat out. It's common to see drivers lock-up and go straight on into the run-off, or go over the kerb into the pit exit and bypass Saint Devote altogether, leading to some penalties being dished out by the stewards. Turn 1 (Saint Devote) - After the short main straight comes this slow right-hander.
