Worth knowing
Watch for
Watch Sainte-Dévote, the first corner. It has seen many first-lap accidents, and the climb out of it is so steep that drivers see only sky.
The hairpin
The Fairmont Hairpin is the slowest corner in Formula 1, taken at about 48 km/h. It is so tight that cars need full steering lock.
The tunnel
Drivers go from daylight to darkness in the tunnel at about 260 km/h. It often stays dry when the rest of the track is wet.
