It'll make for the difference between a magical strategic win, and a few disastrous "Abu Dhabi Alonso Specials" happening!
The undercut vs traffic scenario will mean any team with a cast iron strategy will lose out unless they fluke into the perfect situation.
Strategy will need to be fluid and interchangeable.
I can see Red Bull and Renault doing well, Mclaren traditionally have had good mechanical grip so they could be better at this track than some may think. Mercedes and Ferrari will probably struggle as they dont appear to have cars suited to tracks requiring large amounts of grip. Mercedes shorter wheelbase around Monaco will be nullified by its tail happy nature.
However if they can run long and do less pit stops(unlikely) they may be able to spring a podium.
Do we have a weather forecast?
