Welcome to the Circuit de Monaco, the crown jewel of the Formula 1 calendar, hosting the Monaco Grand Prix since even before the sport's first championship season in 1950.
Nestled in the streets of Monte Carlo, this circuit is the ultimate example of glamour and prestige in F1, and there is no other venue like it on the motorsport calendar.
The track's unforgiving barriers demand perfection on every lap to make it a true test of driver focus, and a single mistake can end a driver's race.
Circuit Overview:
The Circuit de Monaco is a 3.337 km (2.074 miles) track with 19 turns that weaves through the city's streets on a whirlwind tour past Casino Square and along the harbourfront.
After an uphill run through Saint Devote, Beau Rivage and Massenet in Sector 1, the track segues into the second sector at the instantly recognisable Grand Hotel Hairpin — the slowest corner in F1.
After the high-speed tunnel comes the Nouvelle Chicane, one of the few overtaking spots on the track, with the remaining twists and turns along the coast concluding with Sector 3's tight La Rascasse and a short blast down the pit straight.
