The race has been held 70 times to date. The paradox of the most famous motor race in the world is that Formula 1 would not be as successful without it and yet, if it was to be proposed as a new race today, it would be dismissed out of hand on logistical and safety grounds.

"Monaco is always one of the highlights of the year, particularly as it kicks off the European stretch of the season. It's such an iconic track and to race through these streets is unlike anywhere else on the calendar. The track is incredibly unique, with no room for error and a lot of very slow-speed corners that really test the car and us as drivers. The atmosphere around the whole weekend is incredible too; there's a real buzz in the city and it feels even more special now that I live here."
"We're coming into Monaco after a mixed weekend for the team in Canada, where there were positives to take away but also things we know we can improve on. Monaco presents a completely different challenge, so it's important that we maximise every session and build confidence quickly. It's a track where precision is everything, so we hope to put together a strong weekend for the team."
