Preview 10: Monaco Grand Prix | Planet F1 | Formula One | Features --We will see the debut of the new Pirelli SuperSoft tyre because tyre wear and degradation is traditionally very low in Monaco. It's possible to do the race with just one pit stop depending on how long the rear tyres last. The weather forecast is for sun and sunny intervals through the weekend. Wet weather and all that torque might be an interesting combination on the streets of Monaco. Because of all that torque giving exit instability and the ever-present barriers, drivers are going to need to be very careful in keeping their cars out of trouble. The likelihood of a Safety Car is very high, but the possibility of a Safety car around the time of the tyre stops is what will be worrying teams the most. If we have a Safety Car just after some of the leading teams have pitted for their single stop, then those in front who haven't could be in big trouble. Because all of a sudden the gap will be closed and they're going to come out in traffic with little or no chance of passing. Vettel's done 56 laps of Monaco on a set of softs before now.--
