The iconic Tunnel section at Circuit de Monaco has been equipped with powerful lights since the early 00s, so that F1 cars can hurtle at full blast along this staggering kink. Drivers almost reach 300 kph on exit before slamming on the brakes as the track goes downhill to take the tricky Nouvelle Chicane. This is probably the most dangerous spot of the entire track. And certainly one of the most breath-taking sight in the season.
