Despite the star-studded group of attendees, the Monaco Grand Prix often is far from an exciting race. The nature of modern F1 cars means passing is nearly impossible in the tight, twisting corners with barriers just inches away from cars at almost every point of the Circuit de Monaco.

Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is the next stop for Formula One with the Spanish Grand Prix on the horizon.

Lewis Hamilton takes off in his Ferrari. Literally. He goes in too hot into the Nouvelle Chicane, clips the barrier to his right and then is sent into the air off the kerb.
