The eye of Alain Prost before the Monaco GP: “For the teams too, you have to know how to manage pressure”

“When you ride in Monaco, it’s no surprise to anyone, the pressure is high. And you have to know how to manage it. The pilot first. Qualifying well is essential and it is not easy between the rails. He must first build his confidence. On this track, we only drive at 100% for one or two laps, at the end of Q3. Before, we approach it by calculating the risks. With the track improving, it’s only at the end of qualifying, to chase pole, that we give it our all. And afterward, even when you start from pole, victory is far from assured. Monaco has many surprises in store: rain, a breakage or an error, whether on the part of the team or the driver.
