Because of its tight streets, the Monaco Grand Prix is a race where outright speed isn't the ultimate factor.
The race is the most famous on the calendar and is one every driver wants to win at least once in their career. It dates back to 1929, when the first race was organized by Antony Noghès, whose name is featured on the final corner of the current circuit.
Because of the circuit's narrow streets and tight turns, just 34% of a lap is taken at full throttle and overtaking is also extremely difficult, so qualifying is more important than for any other round. A race lasts 78 laps, which is also more than for any other round.However, the slower speeds don't mean drivers can relax. In addition to constant gear changes each lap, close walls mean there's no margin for error. Braking as little as seven feet too late can ruin the entire weekend.
