GP of Monaco F1 2011: analysis of the circuit

  Without hardly rest after the exciting and disappointing (in equal parts) Grand Prize of Spain, teams come to the Principality of Monaco ready to give everything in the Grand Prix of Monaco 2011, one of the most famous circuits of the world, and the buzzards and treacherous also. The characteristics of the circuit of Monaco already know more than in previous years, giving priority above all the mechanical of the cars grip are almost exclusively dependent on the remarkable aerodynamic differences.
Eye, from the aerodynamic grip is essential, and in this Grand Prix configurations should be which provide greater load, but the lack of overly fast corners gives more opportunities with… all those who are not RedBull. We must work hard if any team other than RedBull or McLaren to qualify this weekend for something decent.

Run with a single-seater Formula 1 on the streets of the Principality may be more attractive for the spectators than for pilots, especially since this former track leaves much to be desired in terms of safety (guardarrailes a few centimetres from the drawn)(, few loopholes, "broken" and sliding asphalt especially the Thursday...) and in addition can not squeeze the maximum mechanical.
For this reason the differences between cars and drivers can be slightly reduced. The maximum speed is less than the entire calendar, the DRS can be used but shall be prohibited in the tunnel (I speak of free and classification), and closed and complicated Monaco curves factually implementation to point to be as nice as possible to tackle the turns.
To have it all together and of course, the track of Monaco is not traditionally demanding with the rubber or with the brakes, but it is with the boxes of changes and the mechanics (but not reach 50% of the time to fund). The configuration of the single-seater is what allows to negotiate closed curves with the higher the possible suspension, something which in a few words to raise the height of the car and soften the suspensions. The mechanical grip is essential it is maximized.

Tire wear is minimal, Pirelli brings soft compounds for Monaco, prime, and superblando (with red markings). After an agonizing Spain GP for Ferrari with hard wheels of Pirelli, this weekend may be some air to the Scuderia.
The use of blowers leakage should give us facts here in Monaco, in fact given the configuration of the circuit I think (I elucubro, I do pitoniso) who make intensive use of it will have interesting problems. If the blow is not well regulated, burn lot of fuel to ensure that such valuable extra downforce. We'll see.
As said before passing, lto FIA, has banned the use of the DRS in the tunnel from the demands of drivers and teams with the exception (even now that I know) of Renault. Bouillier said that pilots must be mature enough as to whether they can use it with or without security, and adapt their rhythm as they see it. Apart from this discussion that I think it is good to minimize hazards in the tunnel (could be Safety Car which lasted several times, among other things).
Failing to confirm this, the area of DRS will be the obvious, the "straight" goal and as Lewis Hamilton has said the zone will have barely 300 metres, which is almost nothing and the positive effect will begin to notice almost in braking for Santa Devota. So I think that this time the DRS will be unhelpful to advance and perhaps a little cumbersome for the pilots. I think that there will not be many overtaking by the DRS, but always I can make mistakes. The area of measurement would be between Rascasse and Anthony Noghes.
