Point being, you will never get away from the fact the track it at its fastest right at the end of qualifying, and since LH and NR as so similar in lap times (albeit with different techniques) it's always going to come right down to the wire.

Of course, but there are so many 'ifs' at Monaco that it's not as cut and dry as it would be somewhere else. For example, the risks of being caught in traffic, suffering a yellow, making a mistake etc... are far greater than anywhere else. In ideal circumstances, with an identical effort, the last lap would be better... but very often drivers are unable to get ideal conditions at Monaco which is why it is absolutely imperative to nail your banker as much as you'd nail your final lap.
