Formula One will reassemble on the streets of Monte-Carlo in two weeks for the glamorous Monaco Grand Prix.

But Michelin sporting boss Pierre Dupasquier says a 'very different' circuit awaits the teams and drivers for the 2003 event.

The layout has been changed for the first time in many years, 'although that won't making overtaking any easier,' according to the Frenchman.

Dupasquier continues that a substantial section of the twisty street circuit has also been resurfaced meaning that it won't be like the Monaco 'we all know and love.'

He says tyre suppliers and F1 teams won't necessarily be able to fall back on the data collected in Monaco over recent visits.

'Technically and strategically,' Pierre Dupasquier concludes, 'it will be a very interesting weekend.'
