Why is F1 obsessed with street circuits?

Katy Fairman
About this episode

As Formula 1 heads to the fastest street circuit ever seen this weekend, and rumours of a London Grand Prix dominate social media, Katy looks at the appeal of these kinds of circuits on the calendar. There’s also a tale of how she nearly witnessed the Monte Carlo Casino being burnt down and met a recent Academy Award winner, all in one night. Truly something for everyone.
