Message Board

The Grand Prix Automobile de Monaco in 1929 was the brainchild of Anthony Noghés in an attempt to gain full national status for the Automobile Club de Monaco. The invitation only event was run around the narrow and undulating streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine, with the principality's harbor as the backdrop for the second half of the circuit. In 1933, the race was elevated to the exclusive Grandes Épreuves status, confirming its place as one of Europe's premier motor races. The grand prix featured in Formula 1's first world championship in 1950 and it has been ever present since 1955.

The unique characteristics of the Circuit de Monaco have remained mostly unchanged over the past eight decades. Aside from some corners being reprofiled, the only major change to the circuit's layout came in 1973 when the Piscine section was added and the final corner was altered. Despite being Formula 1's shortest track at 2.075 miles (3.34 km), the circuit is considered as one of the most demanding on the calendar. Typically, a driver will make over 4,000 gear changes throughout the duration of the race while getting as close as they dare to the unforgiving barriers.

The jewel in Formula 1's crown, the Monaco GP, takes place on Sunday, May 27th. The original racing "King of Monaco" was Graham Hill thanks to his victories around the principality's streets in 1963-65, and 1968-69. The two-time world champion is also the only driver to complete motor racing's Triple Crown after adding the 1966 Indianapolis 500 and the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1972 to his Monaco successes. Hill's five Monaco victories were unrivaled until Ayrton Senna won six in seven years between 1987 and 1993. Michael Schumacher matched Hill's quintet of triumphs, winning in 1994-95, 1997, 1999 and 2001, but no driver has won more than two since.

Remember to make your game picks in the 2012 Fantasy Formula 1 thread before the deadline of Saturday, May 26th at 7:55 AM ET, five minutes before qualifying begins. Here we run down some Monaco GP facts and season stats.

Qualifying Notes
Red Bull had two cars in the top-4.
Ferrari had two cars in the top-6.
Mercedes and McLaren had two cars in the top-10.
Lewis Hamilton had his Q3 lap of 1:15.280 deleted for cutting the Nouvelle chicane, dropping him from 7th to 9th.
Sergio Pérez did not set a time in Q3 because he crashed on his first flying lap.
Both Hispanias could not take part in qualifying because their cars weren't repaired in time after they were damaged
during FP3. The stewards allowed them to participate in the race, though, because they had set times within the
107% time during free practice.
