It didn't start out as part of Formula One and the course wouldn't qualify to be included under current guidelines, but it's one of the most celebrated and watched F1 races.

This tight, fast race is one of the most popular in the Formula One season and is steeped in history.

1. It's a test track for Renault.
   It's a series of public roads.
2. It's a public racetrack.
   It's part of a casino's parking lot.

The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the few Formula One races held on public roads, and these are particularly narrow, with tight turns and sudden elevation changes to make the course extra challenging.

Antony Noghes was responsible for organizing this first race, with the blessing of Prince Louis II, using his presidency in the Automobile Club de Monaco to attract the necessary participation.

The circuit is pretty short, but racers must go around it a total of 78 times. The standing record for the race was set by Max Verstappen in 2018 at 1 hour 14 minutes and 26 seconds.

Many of those turns are particularly tight and challenging. The circuit also contains three sectors and a speed trap.

1. apply a fresh layer of tar
   They weld the manhole covers down.
2. scatter sand everywhere
   spray oil over the surface

Thanks to the precision required for this circuit, teams tune the aerodynamics on the cars for maximum downforce, which would be enough to suck the manhole covers right out of the road.

1. Fairmont hairpin

2. Turn 5
   Bureoises turn

Named after the Fairmont Hotel, which sits over the famous tunnel section, drivers negotiate this hairpin at about 30 mph.

2. switchback

The Monaco Grand Prix is known for requiring extreme precision and patience, because there are precious few flat-out sections on the track.

1. 50 mph
   100 mph
2. 160 mph
   230 mph

This turn, which in reality is a kink, allows drivers to take it quickly, making it one of the fastest turns in F1 racing.

Schumacher won the race in 1994, 1995, 1997, 1999 and 2001, but also was hit by Montoya in 2004 in what was a controversial outcome.

1. Michael Schumacher
   Jim Clark
2. Sebastian Vettel
   Graham Hill

In his time, Hill was the only driver to have claimed five victories at the Monaco Grand Prix, earning him that nickname.

1. Michael Schumacher
   Ayrton Senna
2. Graham Hill
   Donny Osmond

Senna has won the Monaco Grand Prix six times, which is quite the accomplishment.

1. gentler curves
   sand-filled barriers
2. a larger spectator area
   lighting embedded in the road

Monaco is a little difficult to see, unless you pay a ton to rent a yacht or hotel with a balcony view, so this addition was much-needed. A new pit complex was also added.

1. He drifted it.
   He stopped in it.
2. He did a massive burnout through it.
   He threw his helmet into it.

The Rascasse corner is a 135-degree right-hand turn that Schumacher appeared to deliberately stop in during the qualify round in 2006, blocking Webber and Alonso behind him.

Other Grands Prix have the practice session on the Friday before the race, but it's different for Monaco so residents can use the roads on Friday.

1. sudden change in lighting
   excessive moisture
2. a difficult switchback
   low oxygen levels

Drivers struggle to have their vision change as they enter and then exit the dark tunnel, especially since a tricky chicane is on the other side of it.

1. jumps
   a splash pad
2. more racers

Thanks to Bernie Ecclestone, the Formula One Constructors Association was successfully able to push for more racers, ballooning it from the usual 16 to 26. That number went down to 18 two years later.

1. the royal box

2. in the main casino

Organizers close down a section of the track near the royal box and drivers park their cars there, then walk over for the ceremony, quite unlike other races.

It's a long process transforming public roads into a race circuit, but organizers have a lot of practice.

If you can win in Monaco, plus the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, you've earned the crown.

1. the third Sunday in May
   the last weekend in May
2. May 21
   May 17

You can easily remember when the Monaco Grand Prix is by looking at a calendar and finding the last Sunday in May. This should stay consistent until 2020.

1. the ability to drive the circuit daily
   lenient tax laws
2. a lack of speed limits
   the presence of casinos

You'd think the big draw to living in Monaco is getting to know the circuit well, but while that does present a benefit, the fact that tax laws are looser on the island is the big draw.

The barriers were put in place as a way to boost safety, because before then race conditions were almost exactly the same as what civilians faced when using the roads every day.

The old custom of going to the royal box for the podium ceremony was finally ditched in favor of a proper podium.

1. Anton Vettel
   Al Unser Jr.
2. Graham Hill
   Ken Block

Graham Hill, the legendary British driver, is the only one to have not only won in Monaco, but also taken the checkered flag at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Indy 500.

Taking everything down and restoring the circuit to just the way it was before takes half the setup time.

1. It caught on fire.
   It flipped.
2. It landed in the harbor.
   It took a turn on two wheels.

It was the second and last time such a thing has ever happened. Hawkins crashed during lap 79 of the race.

1. 1924
   1950
2. 1955
   1948

In the first few years Formula One didn't hold the Monaco Grand Prix each year, but that changed stated in 1955 and it has remained a constant fixture of the World Championship since.

1. It was over-capacity.
   It was a commercial success.
2. Everyone crashed and nobody finished.
   It was canceled.

Thanks to the death of Prince Louis II, the first F1 race that was scheduled in Monaco had to be canceled. Fortunately, the race in 1950 went off without a hitch.

1. Antony Noghes
   Manuel Noriega
2. Alfonso Lono
   Louis Chiron

Chiron took the checkered flag in 1931 from behind the wheel of a Bugatti.

1. to give the Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo a full national status
   money
2. to put Monaco on the map
   It was a bet.

FIA required that for a club to get national status, it had to have at least one major motorsport event exclusively in the country's boundaries, and so the Monaco Grand Prix was born.

1. It's too dangerous.
   The streets are uneven.
2. the lack of passing
   Too many racers show up.

Thanks to the many tight turns and few straightaways, the two drivers felt the Monaco Grand Prix was boring and overrated, drawing the ire of many fans for saying so.

1. 1914 and 1912
   1955 and 1963
2. 1968 and 1978
   1982 and 1992

Back in the day, calling a Grand Prix race once a year the European Grand Prix was an honorary thing, but the practice has since been abandoned.

1. maximum elevation change
   minimum race distance
2. turn radius
   maximum race distance

FIA requires races to be at least 190 miles or 305 kilometers long, but this one has been grandfathered in, so it's the exception.
