The two biggest races in motorsport couldn't be more different. One is a breathless, lightning-fast dash around an enormous 2.5 mile pantheon with the biggest infield you are ever going to see and 300,000 people screaming louder than the engines themselves. The other is just as bananas: the best racing cars in the world roaring around the narrow streets which bend around the beautiful Monaco harbour, where yachts sit as if it is just another day in paradise, where drivers dare their machines closer and closer to the wall each lap in pursuit of F1's most prestigious victory.
It's an incredible slice of fortune to have covered an Indy 500 and a Monaco Grand Prix in the space of three years.
