Heidfeld relishing Monaco test
Nick Heidfeld says he cannot wait to race his BMW Sauber around the glitz and glamour of Monaco next weekend and insists the Principality provides a circuit like no other. Heidfeld, who finished fourth last time out in Turkey, is hoping to improve on last year's race where he came home in sixth.
"I'm a real fan of narrow street circuits like this, Heidfeld told autosport.com. "Lots of people have tried to describe what it's like driving through these streets that are like canyons in a Formula One car.
"I've never been able to think of a comparison that really does it justice, so I won't even try. You simply have to experience it for yourself. This is a circuit that's totally unforgiving of even the smallest driving error. If you run out of road, there's nowhere to go except into a crash barrier.
"Monaco goes quite crazy during Grand Prix weekend. The town and the harbour are all packed to bursting point. Of all the GP races, this is definitely the one that has the most to offer spectators. For one thing, there's nowhere else you can get so close to the action.
"The engine noise is stupendous and the razzmatazz is simply unique. I always enjoy coming to Monaco. That said, I have to admit it's all a bit too frenzied for me in the long run, which is why a few years ago I decided to move to Switzerland."
