Many drivers have had the opportunity to drive on this circuit in the championship F3 in the image of Charles Leclerc.

If the Monegasque sees similarities with his Grand Prix, he will also have the opportunity to ride on the famous banked bends. “ I have never ridden on such a big bank. I tested them on the simulator and it was pretty cool »

The Scuderia driver, who is not at the discovery stage, remembers a very fast track where overtaking will be difficult to do. “ The sequence of turns 6-7-8 is going to be hot, already in F3 it was very hot, very fast. Now with F1 it will be even faster. Overtaking will also be very complicated ". Charles Leclerc then insisted on the importance of Saturday's qualifying. “We will really focus on qualifying and try to put in the best performances possible.. "
