When it comes to Formula 1 racing and the overall history of motorsports, the Monaco Grand Prix stands out as one of the most iconic circuits on the planet. Humbling even the most legendary F1 drivers, the tight-knit track intertwines through the waterfront of Monaco with only a handful of areas for passing.
