Circuit de Monaco, Monte Carlo
The Monaco Grand Prix represents an unique challenge for teams and drivers, best illustrated by the fact that in 1996, only four cars took the chequered flag. One would be hard pushed to find a labyrinth of streets less suited to the current Formula 1 cars. But the appeal of the Principality is special and scoring a victory in this event is up there with winning the Formula 1 world championship. The majority of turns are taken in low gear, but the Monegasque track is also home to the fastest corner on the calendar, the tunnel, which has such a slight curve that, for most drivers it is regarded pretty much as a straight. On the 3.337 kilometres of the streets of the Principality, Ferrari has taken nine race wins so far times, but more importantly, this was the venue of the team’s Formula 1 debut, in the second round of the 1950 season. The first win came in 1955, thanks to Maurice Trintignant, the last was in 2017 as the Maranello team scored a memorable Ferrari one-two finish with Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen. Last year, Charles Leclerc took an impressive pole position, but unfortunately he was unable to start the race and capitalize on the pole.

Ste. Devote
There is no single place where one can win the Monaco Grand Prix, but there are several where the Monaco Grand Prix can be lost. One of these is Turn 1, where there’s a risk of overshooting the braking point and hitting the barriers at the exit.

The harbour chicane
The ideal place for attempting a pass, given the fact that as it is the least difficult point on the track for this. Getting past isn’t enough though, because you also need to get through the chicane. As a result, it has been the scene of many incidents during the years, including 1955, when Alberto Ascari ended up in the sea.
