Winners and Victories
This Formula One race has one of the most demanding tracks and is therefore a very exciting race to watch. The course is narrow and winds round the streets of Monaco; it is a dangerous place to race and often requires the intervention of the safety car. The first race on 14th April 1929 was organised by Cigarette magnate Antony Noghes and was won by William Grover in a Bugatti. Brazil’s Ayrton Senna holds the title for the most wins with 6 victories, 5 of them won consecutively from 1989 to 1993; British driver Graham Hill won it 5 times during the 60s when he earned the title Mr Monaco; and Michael Schumacher won the Monaco Grand Prix 5 times between the years of 1994 and 2001. More British drivers have won the Monaco Grand Prix than any other nationality, with 15 victories.
Once the racing is over there is plenty of hot action in Monaco; join in the fun and make sure you have a table booked for you and your party so as not to miss out on the hottest places to see and be seen. There are so many parties happening all over Monaco, if you haven’t been sprayed with champagne by the end of the night then you haven’t truly experienced the Grand Prix.
