Current E went behind the scenes at Bruno Senna’s simulator session ahead of the Monaco 2015 Formula E race. Here’s what he makes of the track.

“This straight really feels very short when you’re racing this track,” he says, as he powers up towards the first corner. “It’s very narrow as well. Here we come for the first corner. Very different braking area: you go into a hairpin. Whereas normally you would go up to the Casino, now you go down back down to the port. This road has never been used for F1. It’s a new layout. We’re basically racing just at the port area. You have to aim at the walls for turn in, but the walls are always waiting for you. Lap time is really fast here and I think we’ll have lots of laps, very difficult to get energy consumption right.”
