Nakajima: Monaco is 'just another destination'

Unlike most drivers Kazuki Nakajima isn't that excited to travel to Monaco this week for the sixth round in the 2009 Formula One championship. The Williams driver is hoping for a incident-free weekend through the streets of Monte Carlo.

"I know I should be more excited about Monaco, but it really is just another destination for me," Nakajima said. "The glitz and glamour is all a bit too much for me to really enjoy myself there so I'll be keeping my usual routine of working hard at the track during the day and then having quiet evenings at the hotel, probably some training and treatment followed by a quick supper and an early night.

"I hope we have a good car in Monaco, we normally do, and I need a better race this weekend.
Although it's not my favourite track to drive, I went well in Monaco last year going from 14th to 7th in my debut race to get two points for the team. With the new regulations this season, I think it will be quite a different experience in Monaco this year and the new slick tyres will really help with the grip levels. I just hope the race will be incident-free for me."
