So, finally, and for the one and only time, Formula E gets itself onto a stretch of F1 track. Admittedly, it is the slowest bit of track on the F1 calendar, but it'll be interesting nonetheless.
Yes, the Monaco ePrix circuit is on a heavily modified version of the iconic Circuit de Monaco, with the usual blast up to a tighter Ste. Devote, which now leads on to JF Kennedy avenue down to a hairpin at the erstwhile Nouvelle Chicane. Then it is the familiar route - Tabac, Piscine, Rascasse, Antony Nogues - to go again.
Of course, the familial history shows no Piquet ever won at Monaco, while Sennas and Prosts were much more successful. Jarno Trulli's achievement of being the first over the line in 2004 in F1 is perhaps more important.
Lucas di Grassi's extremely narrow championship lead from countryman Piquet is surely under threat given the latter's form. We await the first twice-Formula E winner: Vergne, Abt and Heidfeld have looked likely at various times, so the winner could be anyone. It is straight after Barcelona qualifying, so competition for GP2? Who knows?
