British former Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has hailed the Monaco Grand Prix track as an 'incredible roller-coaster ride', saying that it is a circuit where one has to walk very slowly before they can run.
Hamilton, who heads into the richest race on earth this Sunday, said that there is not a single part of the Monaco circuit that does not make his hair stand up on end, it is the whole track.
According to The Guardian, the Mercedes racer said that the Monaco track is like when one goes on the most 'scary roller-coaster' ride, perhaps one drops off a cliff and goes down that first bit, that fear factor, initially lasts for just a second, but there it is the whole lap.
The 2008 Formula One world champion said that the Monaco Grand Prix is scary but it is cool, with all these different emotions in one.
Hamilton, who would be racing in his hometown this weekend, said that the coolest thing is that they allow them to race there and that it is the most real race there is, adding that it is a massive risk to try to overtake, but over a single lap, it is the best.
