    Portier is my favorite. What comes to mind is when I first drove around this track before I was even into F1 in Gran Turismo 5. From going into the sharp right hander and hugging the barrier to getting a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean, it's one helluva corner.

    I think Tabac is the most challenging corner in the world... yes, even more than Eau Rouge, Senna's S or the Loews Hairpin. i never get it right on the games, too high speed to be done correctly and any mistake can lead you into the wall.

  • @juanin200
    @juanin200 5 років тому +1

    I came back here because I just watched Cars 2 (yeah, for the first time), and in the Italian race there's a turn that's a complete nod to the Hairpin, it's the tightest corner of the race and it's a downhill to the "casino bridge", the circuit looks nothing like Monaco and it's on Italy, but that turn is definitively the Hairpin

    • @RJSRdg
      @RJSRdg 3 роки тому

      Tabac had changed before then. Prior to the late 60s,the circuit ran along what is now the pitlane, and the pits were (I think) on the front near Rascasse, so Tabac was a wider corner than it has been in recent years. Then in the early 70s, the main circuit was diverted along the front past the swimming pool, and the old part of the circuit became the pitlane. allowing more pit garages to be built.

    What i really want to know, though, is what is the name of that turn at monza. If i say the first thing i think of, its almost like a parabola shaped turn before the main straight... like the main defining feature of it is a parabola and a car. Parabola-car... now obviously, the F1 that i know would never name a turn something cheap and unimaginative like "Parabolica", so i have to wonder what name they picked for it in the end. 🤔

      Yeah. Because the driver is Charles Leclerc. So Leqler can gamble - sounds like he'd be from Montreal.

    I would absolutely love it if Liberty Media managed to get Martin Brundle to do these videos, his voice with his interpretation of things and idioms would be a delightful listen.

      Doubt it. You have RBR possibly taking a win here.
      I'm not saying he won't win, I'm just saying there's a lot agaisnt him.

    • @deafeningoctopus

      URsuckishATlife In my opinion, RBR's win in spain was just down to luck because Mercedes collided. If they hadn't collided, Mercedes would have led home another boring 1-2 finish and Verstappen would have to settle for just being the youngest podium finisher. But then again, I might be wrong. Who knows until it happens?

    • @HandlesSuck123
      @HandlesSuck123 8 років тому

      Deafening Octopus Yeah, RBR was lucky in Spain. But I'm not talking about that.

      RBR were lucky in Spain undoubtedly, but given that the RBR has arguably the best chassis on the grid (consequently more grip, which is more important than engine in Monaco), I won't bet against them winning! Also, as we all know, in Monaco it's easy to slip.
