The Monaco Grand Prix looms. For all the spectacular and iconic Formula 1 venues that have fallen into antiquity over the years, Monaco has endured the relentless charge of progress in car development and the bemoanings of naysayers.

It’s a tricky and traditional circuit, but one that has lived on both for the fact that it might be the most iconic circuit in F1 and the unique challenge it presents driver and car alike. Nelson Piquet famously said racing in Monaco was like “riding a bike around your living room”. So, if you happen to be in the hot seat this Sunday and find you need a bit of last minute tuition, take a look at the video above, where we ride on board Vettel’s Ferrari with some expert guidance overlaid.
