With the first five races being run on fairly normal circuits, aside from widely different ambient temperatures, this weekend brings the first in a run of specialist technical tracks.
Monaco, of course, demands a very specific set-up: maximum downforce, higher ride-height and greater steering angle.
This year, rain, or at least cooler temperatures, are likely to be a greater factor, especially as the supersoft tyre is of a different, slightly harder compound for this race.
