The Monaco Grand Prix is not just famous because of its history and its picturesque setting, but also because of the unique technical challenge it presents the drivers and engineers.
Along with the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Indianapolis 500, the Monaco Grand Prix is one of the most famous motor sport events in the world and it is the one element that makes it stand out from the other venues on the F1 calendar that creates its biggest challenge for the teams - namely the fact it is run on narrow city streets that make passing another car a virtual impossibility.
So while it is true that, more than at any other circuit, a driver's ability can make a bigger difference than the car package at his disposal, it is also true that the best driver in the world can do nothing without a race strategy that gives him enough clear track to demonstrate his skill.
There are many cliches about the Monaco Grand Prix and one of the most commonly cited is that this race is a lottery. Sometimes, people who play real lotteries have a strategy and the same is true of the teams as they prepare for the most famous race on the Formula 1 calendar.
The overall responsibility for strategic decisions taken on the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro pit wall rests with the team's Head of Track Operations, Luca Baldisserri, who gives us an insight to the seemingly endless possibilities for running the best race around this tricky track.
