Morgen vinden in Monaco de eerste oefensessies. Tijd om dus eens nader kennis te maken met het stratencircuit van Monaco. Wij volgende de rijders van het Sahara Force India F1 team tijdens hun track walk.
Our crew is busy in the garage (or rather, outside it) with pit-stop practice. For us, time to go on #SFITrackWalk – who's coming with us?

Few places are as historic as Monaco when it comes to F1 circuits. Every corner, every curb and every wall tells a story #SFITrackWalk

Turn 1, Ste Devote is a 90deg done in 2nd. Not as tight as it used to be when a wall was on the apex! #SFITrackWalk pic.twitter.com/8djqIF4rqL

The steep climb is virtually straight, but don't expect any overtaking here as the cars work their PU! #SFITrackWalk pic.twitter.com/O3ZdtTH13v

If a driver could stop on the way up to Massenet and turn around, he'd have quite the view… #SFITrackWalk pic.twitter.com/rFS0CJcQmJ

Looking back at Massenet, which in the local dialect means "never ending left hander". Don't quote us. #SFITrackWalk pic.twitter.com/lRyQ73Fyem

Into iconic Casino Square. Resisting the temptation to bet on black, 11 and 27 on the roulette… #SFITrackWalk pic.twitter.com/V7OvRQrkrw

Past Casino Square, down to Mirabeau – can you spot the giant bump on the left? #SFITrackWalk pic.twitter.com/nwe2Qzmz1b

Peeking down to Portier – the scene of THAT overtake by @NicoHulkenberg. One of the best moves here! #SFITrackWalk pic.twitter.com/9iVWiDrsnb

Hello @FairmontMC! A plaque marks "the world's most famous hairpin", which we take at less than 50kph! #SFITrackWalk pic.twitter.com/gUFRlippH7

The Fairmont Hairpin remains the slowest corner in the whole F1 championship, and one of the trickiest too! #FullLock #SFITrackWalk
— Sahara Force India (@ForceIndiaF1) May 20, 2015
Following Portier, we head straight into the Tunnel, with its 260kph kink. Fastest part of the track! #SFITrackWalk pic.twitter.com/sGf07JyVvn
— Sahara Force India (@ForceIndiaF1) May 20, 2015
The long bend of the tunnel ends at the Nouvelle Chicane, home of nasty curbs and many spoiled Q laps. #SFITrackWalk pic.twitter.com/w2gzq7nN4n

Sector 2 ends at Tabac. Tight, 4th gear corner taken at roughly 190/200kph! #SFITrackWalk pic.twitter.com/s86r7VagV3

To do Tabac well, aim for the wall, they say. Tells you a lot about the drivers' gumption! #brave #abitnuts #SFITrackWalk

Approaching the end of the lap, we negotiate Piscine, the scene of much drama over the years… #SFITrackWalk pic.twitter.com/fqyNGtkQGr
— Sahara Force India (@ForceIndiaF1) May 20, 2015
… and also the scene of many parties at the various bars popping up on the track after the action stops! #SFITrackWalk
— Sahara Force India (@ForceIndiaF1) May 20, 2015
The Rascasse corner and the eponymous restaurant on the apex. Don't clip the inside barrier! #SFITrackWalk pic.twitter.com/sFQxAEHgCz

Time to finish our #SFITrackWalk – Antony Noghes is the narrow final turn as we sprint onto the finish straight! pic.twitter.com/tYrNvbNpIj
— Sahara Force India (@ForceIndiaF1) May 20, 2015
A full lap on foot – the full 3.340km – took us a nifty 50 minutes. Somewhat outside the 107% we fear! #SFITrackWalk
— Sahara Force India (@ForceIndiaF1) May 20, 2015
Having visited the scene of so much history, we can't wait for the action to start on Thursday! #MonacoGP #FeelTheForce
