Haas F1 driver Kevin Magnussen is looking forward to the Monaco race-weekend and understanding it's importance to him

"During the whole weekend you are busy building enough speed and confidence for that one round in qualifying," he said.

"Every mistake you get in Monaco is expensive, so making a mistake can not happen.

"In addition, the further the weekend progresses, the more the circuit changes.

"You do not only have to build up speed, but you also have to adapt to changing circumstances. "

In Monaco the hypersoft will also be shown for the first time under the cars.

"But that will not take care of a different approach to the weekend. I do not think the hypersoft will get worse much faster. I do not expect any surprises in that respect, " Magnussen added
