F1: 5 Best Street Circuits on the calendar.

#1 Circuit De Monaco, Monaco

Monte Carlo, Monaco

Commonly referred as Monte Carlo, Circuit De Monaco which is located at the streets of Monaco, world's second smallest country has hosted Monaco Grand Prix 65 times till date since 1950. The oldest street circuit happens to be the only circuit which does not adhere to the FIA's mandated 305 km minimum race distance, has only around 260 km of the race distance. Though the glamorous circuit has undergone plenty of modifications over the years considering the vulnerabilities involved, the narrow course which does not encourage overtaking demands high skilled precision from drivers.

The lap starts with a sharp 90-degree right turn followed by the uphill course and the long-left hander at Massenet. Then through the Casino square to be followed by short straights leading to Mirabeau corner which is followed by the Monte Carlo's overtaking hub, Fairmount hairpin. After the hairpin, there is another downhill course followed by a double right-hander called as Portier which leads to the tunnel, the most spectacular feature in any F1 circuit. Heading out of the tunnel lies a sharp left-right-left chicane which has been the scene for several accidents, as that section of the circuit is the only place where overtaking is quite possible.
