Monaco F1 Grand Prix

History of the Monaco Grand Prix

Since its inaugural race in 1950, the Monaco F1 Grand Prix has been considered the most prestigious automobile race in the world. The Monaco F1 is the only race that doesn’t adhere to the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile’s (FIA) staple 305 km race distance, and the 260.285 km, 78-lap race is thought to be the most dangerous on the F1 racing schedule – Monaco’s narrow streets, tight corners and tunnels test the world’s best racing drivers like no other circuit.

The 2018 Monaco F1 Grand Prix sees 2017’s winner Sebastian Vettle and 2016’s winner Lewis Hamilton, two of the best Formula 1 drivers of all time, battle it out for pole position. Racing car manufacturers McLaren, Ferrari, Lotus, Mercedes Bugatti and Red Bull-Renault also return to Monaco this year.
