Nico Hulkenberg barely drove at all during the Spanish Grand Prix before being absolutely taken out by Romain Grosjean, and the German will be hoping to bounce back from that on the streets of Monaco, his favourite venue.
His crash in Spain especially felt bad because there was absolutely nothing the Hulk could do when the rampaging Grosjean barreled into his RS18.
"It's very frustrating because you know it's not your fault," he admits to F1i.com.
"Now my focus is on Monaco because nothing is as beautiful as the streets of Monaco.
"I'm looking forward to driving there again.

"The whole weekend is cool and the fact that it's hard only makes it more exciting to drive there."
P5 is the highest the German has scored thus far in the principality when he reached those heights with Force India in 2014. He'll be hoping for more this time around.
"We have to build confidence during the whole weekend and make progress step by step.
"It's not that tough physically, but mentally I really have to fight.
"The qualifying will be very important of course, so I hope I can peak there.

"Then there will be hope on Sunday."
