The Monaco GP remains the jewel in Formula 1s crown and will be live and exclusive on Sky Sports F1 this weekend. But after having its inaugural F1 race in 1950, what makes it so special today? Is it the glamour, the prestige, the unique circuit? We asked some of the Sky F1 punditry team to share their views...DAMON HILLEveryones heard of Monaco. Its almost a synonymous word for grand prix racing. Its a famous, beautiful place in the south of France and its got a tremendous history, going back to before the war. Its one of the great challenges, but also one of the great social events of our sporting calendar.Over the years its changed naturally as weve introduced much more safety precautions but there is virtually no run-off. McLaren drivers Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button pose with footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and model Cara Delevingne At some of the faster corners they give you a small run-off area but the principal thing in Monaco is that youre right up against the barriers for most of the circuit, and its very difficult to pass.It makes qualifying one of the highlights of all the sessions we do in the season.ANTHONY DAVIDSONMonaco is still special, not just because of the history and the fact that its only one of the four remaining circuits on the calendar from the original 1950 calendar. Its special for the drivers mainly because of the close proximity to the barriers, the fact that they would never build a race track like that today - it really is a one-off. That makes the challenge of driving a Formula 1 car round there, in my mind higher than most other circuits that you go to. How Hamilton lost Monaco 2015 How Lewis Hamiltons infamous pit-stop lost him the 2015 race. Its a different format throughout the weekend, you run on the Thursday you have the Friday off and then its back to business on the Saturday-Sunday. It makes FP3 and qualy even harder in many ways because youve had this break. Its a circuit where you need to be constantly in a rhythm.Time is essential and even just one day out of that rhythm can affect your FP3 flow, whereas normally its just a continuation, a build-up towards race day.That makes it a circuit that really favours drivers that live on seat-of-your-pants driving, that are more naturally at ease in the car, naturally gifted, who can just turn it on.

He got early strikes with it.Anderson improved to 3-1 in five starts this season against the Pirates, who had won their prior six games at Milwaukee.Hes been pitching probably as good as he has in his career, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.

VERSATILEINF/OF Hernan Perez made his first start in center field this season for Milwaukee and has played at every position except catcher and pitcher. It gives us flexibility in lineup construction and injury and just rest, Counsell said. Were a little banged up right now, but I think thats ultimately what a versatile player does is give you a lot of coverage.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis, who strained his abdomen Friday, remains day-to-day. He has to be able to get on the field and run and swing a bat in batting practice, Counsell said.UP NEXTBrewers: RHP Zach Davies (11-7) starts the final home series Friday night when he faces Cincinnati for the fifth time in his career.
