| Circuit Details |
Without doubt the most famous grand prix track in the world, Monaco has been an institution both on the sporting and social calendars since its inception in 1929. The unique layout of the track means that it presents a special challenge to the drivers who generally either love it or loath it.
The first world championship race in 1950 set the tone - 10 cars were eliminated in a first lap shunt. Five years later Alberto Ascari made history by being the only driver to crash into the harbour. In the Sixties Graham Hill became the master of Monaco when he took a total of five wins on the street circuit. Ayrton Senna surpassed even that record by winning six times in seven years between 1987 and 1993.
The track remains a thrilling throwback to the past but Monaco's notorious pit facilities could soon be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century - plans are afoot to build a permanent new pit complex in time for the 2006 season.
