What makes it different
- The shortest lap in F1 and the only round that fails the modern minimum race distance - it runs to a reduced 260 km rather than the usual 305.
- The Grand Hotel hairpin is the slowest corner in Formula 1, taken at around 45 km/h, and teams fit special steering racks to get enough lock for it.
- Every drain cover on the circuit is welded down for the weekend - the downforce is strong enough to suck one loose, as happened to Jenson Button's car in 2016.

How much the order changes
up or down from the grid slot, on average — less than most circuits
"Cars that don't finish" and "How much the order changes" both cover the 10 Grands Prix run here since 2016. Movement is the distance between a car’s grid slot and its finish, in either direction — not a count of overtakes, since a car retiring ahead of a driver moves that driver up too.

Historic moments
2024 · Leclerc finally wins at home
Charles Leclerc converted pole into the home win that Monaco had spent five years denying him, becoming the first Monégasque to win the Monaco Grand Prix since Louis Chiron in 1931. A first-lap crash red-flagged the race and the restart froze everything: the top ten finished in exactly the order they had started.
2021 · Leclerc's home-race pole that never raced
Charles Leclerc took a stunning pole position at his home race, only to crash late in qualifying. Ferrari initially cleared the car, but a driveshaft fault traced to that crash was found on the way to the grid, and Leclerc had to retire before the race even started.
1982 · The maddest final laps in Monaco history
Four different drivers led in the closing three laps of 1982's race as rivals crashed, spun and ran out of fuel one after another. Riccardo Patrese, who had himself stalled at the hairpin, got his Brabham rolling again down a slope and crossed the line first - not realising he'd won until after the flag.
