Monaco Grand Prix
Mediterranean street circuit
The Monaco Grand Prix is a Formula One race held annually on a street circuit through Monte Carlo.
First run in 1929, it's considered the most prestigious event in motorsport despite its narrow streets making overtaking nearly impossible.
The tight corners, elevation changes, and proximity to barriers demand precision: Winning Monaco is a career-defining achievement.
Along with the Indianapolis 500 and 24 Hours of Le Mans, it forms the unofficial Triple Crown of Motorsport.
