REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, SEMARANG -- Indonesian Formula One Driver Rio Haryanto is ready for this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix circuit in Monte Carlo, hopeful of a better performance with his Manor Racing team on the very demanding street circuit of Monte Carlo.

"It requires every bit of your focus because it's such an unforgiving track. The proximity of the barriers means that one tiny mistake can be very costly. But it can also be very rewarding if you get it right," Rio Haryanto was quoted as saying by his Media Relations Cep Goldia here Wednesday.

The 23-year-old driver stood on the podium of Monaco Grand Prix back in 2014 when he raced in the GP2 Series.

"It's a unique experience, which I know from racing here in GP2. I've actually been on the podium in Monaco after finishing in the third place in 2014 and the atmosphere and sense of that occasion was incredible," Haryanto recalled.
