Need a Monaco refresh? Join Max Verstappen onboard his scooter for a track guide around the Monte-Carlo track during rush hour traffic!

[Music] Yeah. So, here we are on the start finish straight. First spot, finish line here. Quite a bit of traffic still. You know, it’s a open road at the moment. As soon as it’s all closed, for sure, we will be blasting by with at least 290 km an hour. Yeah. I mean, the scenery here is is quite special. Yeah. Then after turn one, yeah, we go up. It’s quite steep actually. On the cameras, it looks uh not as steep. So, yeah. Also, when you drive up here, of course, when we are driving, you can’t you can’t see it because we’re that low, but you know, on the right side, you have all, you know, the harbor, the big boats, really nice restaurants as well here on the right. And here it’s quite narrow actually for such high speeds. So, um it’s always quite interesting. Here it’s actually a big bump when you exit turn for so you always have to drive around it in the inside. The inside wheel lifts up. Uh makes it a bit more under steering. You drive straight towards the the hotel with a very tight hair bin which is the slowest corner on the whole calendar. Actually good club here on the right. So if you want to go out definitely go there. Going into the tunnel always uh a funny thing in the wet because of course everywhere it’s wet except in the tunnel where you can kill your tires a little bit. I always find the view when you come out of it with the sun sometimes can make it a bit difficult to see for the first 50 m. You’re right. I think this is one of the most difficult breaking points of the track. Very bumpy. Maybe now with the with the track resurface that will be a bit better. Uh and then here, yeah, great scenery with the boats. I’m sure they have a great view onto the track as well. Yeah, this is maybe not my chicane, but try we try to do it different than than last year. Of course, you try to be as close as you can to the inside guardrail and then the curb on the left side. And then yeah, we arrived to to Rascas. A lot of partying going on here as well after practice sessions. And uh yeah, a lot of um dirt on the track as well. Um from Saturday to a Sunday, braking is always difficult because you start to lock up the outside wheel. And then the last one is also very tricky because it’s low grip, easy to to lift the inside wheels, and then you have low grip in the rear as well. So yeah, that was uh that was one lap. I mean, I am always racing around with my scooter here uh when there’s also another Grand Prix, which makes it also quite funny. But I hope you enjoyed the the track ride. [Music]
