Monaco build-up now in full swing

Work is now well underway in Monaco where construction crews are moving full steam ahead with the track and infrastructure build-up to next May's event in the Principality.

It's a routine job for the expert teams that handle the annual roadwork and building, but it's still a daunting multi-month task to transform the venue into motorsport's most famous street circuit.

Seen here in the picture above is the Monaco Grand Prix's race control headquarters stricture in the process of being erected, a site no driver hopes he'll be visiting over the weekend.
