“I scored three podiums in my last three races with the [DPR] team, so I'm hoping to continue that momentum," he insisted, "I raced here last year with DPR and it was a fairly strong weekend. I was fifth quickest in free practice, but made a mistake in qualifying. In the race, I had an early incident which damaged the steering on my car yet, despite this, I was able to keep running and the pace was there.
"Against this background, I'm feeling very confident. My focus will be on doing the best job I can and I'll be aiming to bring the team more valuable championship points.”
For the first time since its inception, GP2 will have two races in the Principality this weekend, with the feature event running on Friday morning and the sprint on Saturday afternoon. With Nunes experiencing the challenge of the notorious street circuit for the first time, team boss Price is happy to welcome back someone of Soucek's experience, as the Spaniard has also raced a World Series by Renault car in the Principality.
“We've brought Andy in to the team for this race weekend to accelerate the car development and, with the unique demands of Monaco, we wanted to add an experienced driver to partner Diego," Price said, “We hope that his experience here can help us all put in strong performances.
"Diego will benefit from Andy's track knowledge and we can work together to get on top of this very difficult track. Andy knows the team and our engineer, Andy Miller, so it should be easy for him to be on the pace quite quickly which will be important here. As always, we know the competition will be tough, the track will challenge the driver's skills and we'll need to support this with strong teamwork. “
