Monaco Preview

It is a rest day in Monaco today and as the driver contemplate how to navigate the tight and demanding seaside streets the strategists are scratching their heads trying to work out how to get the cars to the end on the least number of stops.
The problem is that their is little or no overtaking and a good grid slot and one stop is the best option. The new Italian rubber wears down fast and is untested on this tarmac. Any teams that may have thought they had a model to predict the wear were still none the wiser as a new supersoft tyre was introduced yesterday for practice.
Alonso showed he was king of the road and early signs are he is looking good for saturday. Red Bull are still in the mix, but their car handles less well on the winding roads of Monaco.
