A note of history
The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the oldest and most prestigious races in the world.
Created in 1929 by Antony Noghès, the Monaco circuit, designed in the heart of the city, has almost entirely retained its original layout, a narrow and winding track, which makes it one of the most demanding circuits on the Championship calendar. Formula 1 world.
Pole position is born in Monaco! Until 1933, the starting grids were determined by drawing lots. However, in Monaco, where it is difficult to overtake, this system was not very fair. Antony Noghès then proposed to take into account the best times achieved to determine the starting grid and also suggested that the first place be on the right, on the first row.
The Monaco Grand Prix is also the first Grand Prix to have officially adopted the checkered flag in 1934 (inspired by the one used in Indianapolis) and it was only three years later, in 1937, that this flag was integrated into the code. international athlete of the AIACR and has become the universal symbol of victory.
The Monaco circuit measures 3,367 km.
The start is from Port Hercule, then it winds through the streets of Monte-Carlo and La Condamine, linking tight turns in the middle of protective rails: the track is narrow and demanding and makes overtaking difficult.
After the start line, the drivers go up Boulevard Albert Ier and rush into the first right-hand corner of “Sainte Dévote”, the place of numerous collisions in the first lap. They then begin the very steep climb of “Beau-Rivage” to the very tight left-right of “Casino”. From there, the drivers go down to the right-hand corner of “Mirabeau”, then comes the hairpin on the left “Grand Hôtel”, the slowest corner of the championship. The “Portier” section then leads to the sea and the pilots pass through the tunnel which leads to the chicane near the port. At the exit of the tunnel, the fastest section of the circuit, the single-seaters approach 300 km/h. After a short straight on the Quai des Etats-Unis, comes the left-hand bend of the “Bureau de Tabac”, the left-right section of the Piscine, then a very difficult hairpin on the right at “La Rascasse”. The drivers finally approach the “Anthony Noghès” bend before the pit line and the finish.
It is certainly one of the most demanding circuits on the Formula 1 World Championship calendar. It is the most glamorous, the most prestigious, the most popular Grand Prix and above all the one that every driver and every team wants earn !
