question 1
The tight and twisty nature of the Monaco circuit is known for difficult overtaking. Do you think we will see drivers take more risks like Hamilton did in 2011 or will it be more about strategy and pitstops?
@NigelBeechey : I expect there to be an abundance of risky moves, strategy and pitstop decisions. With the championship so close this year, there will come a point very soon that if no one team or driver is going to break away from the pack, every point available is vital. That will make for some entertaining racing as the season pushes on. Imagine one podium but consistency winning you the title?
@MarussiaF1Will : I think it'll be about strategy and pitstops, pitting at the right time to ensure you don't have traffic on your out-laps and in-laps. Should make a great race to watch. One that'll be difficult to predict too.
@alonsomanso : I think the tyres will be the key for the race, maybe can see the drivers aggressive in the start and the closing stages. but to me the tyres will be the key of the race at Monaco.

question 2
What is it about Monaco that makes it so special or do you not feel the excitement for Monaco?
@joshbohnf1 : I think you have to be there to get the atmosphere and excitement of Monaco!
@Donz358 : I don’t think the actual race is as exciting as some of the other circuits but it’s the atmosphere and build up that makes it so special. It’s also one of the few circuits that the teams and drivers really get excited about which I quite like.
@multicooldude34 : Monaco is special because of the stunning setting, great race-track, and rich history.
@Jo_Johnson63 : Monaco is my favourite race in the calendar. I just love the chaos of it all and the historical factor makes it a special place to win. I like the fact that the drivers have to concentrate so hard because if they make a slight mistake they're in the wall.

question 3
What is your favourite corner on the Monaco GP circuit and why?
@icywingsuk : Watching an F1 car tackle the chicane within the swimming pool complex in anger is an awe inspiring sight. The skill demonstrated by the driver, taking their finely balanced car, at high speed within inches of the barriers, highlights the very reason that they are considered amongst the best in the world. For this reason, that corner in particular is the one I look forward to seeing the most at Monaco.
@EmTheEmu : Lowes hairpin, it's always really cool to see the cars snake through it so close together
@hedgeryhoops : My favourite corner would have to be the Nouvelle Chicane, due to the steep decline beforehand and it's uniqueness in being the only corner in F1 to follow after a tunnel, and you're always going to be guaranteed some action there!

bonus question
Which Monaco race that you have watched is your ultimate Monaco GP and why?
@DarshanChokhani : I will pick 2008 as it was the ultimate race with rain and some great racing. I was really glad to see Sutil running in Top 5 and see an underdog team score it's first points in such a track but then came a twist of Kimi and all the hopes turned into despair. And Lewis won it handsomely with Kubica coming at P2 in that BMW and Massa at P3, yes podium. ;)
@GeorgeHDavies : 2008 was pretty epic, with the fastest lap changing record number of times, rain, drama tension & a heroic drive from Sutil.
@TheSixYearItch : I have seen footage of 1984 with Senna, his win just shows his skill as a driver. Simply Awesome.
