For me it has got to be coming out of the tunnel at 170, being blasted by sunlight and immediately down to 1st gear into the chicane. If only Disney could simulate that into a ride.

I bet it isn't Coulthard's favourite part...

I gotta say everything between the Mediterranean's view right after Portier... until Rascasse.
Beautiful, unique and driving on-the-edge!

Came out fighting indeed.

I love all of it. What I really liked to see were the older cars accelerating out of Lowes, with the cars oversteering and the drivers countering it with an armful of opposite lock. I was surprised we didn't see at least some of that today, but there you are.

Yah I like that also and I also enjoy that quick left/right after they sweep around the swimming pool area which I believe is Tabac?

I have to go with the tunnel. Whenever someone says Formula 1, the first thing I think of is Ayrton Senna in a McLaren-Honda blasting out of the tunnel.

Did you guys see LH oversteer in the hairpin? Not something you see too often there. And they showed it from several very different angles bud

You gotta hand it to Lewis as it was a beautiful drift.
