Circuit de Monaco

3.337 km · 19 corners · 1950 to now.

The Circuit de Monaco winds through the streets of Monte Carlo and has hosted the Monaco Grand Prix since 1950. The slowest and tightest track on the calendar, it prizes precision and qualifying above all, and is the jewel of the F1 season.

A roughly 90-degree right named for the chapel of Sainte Dévote, the fourth-century martyr who is Monaco's patron saint; it opens the lap and is a recurring first-lap crash point.
The uphill 'beautiful shore' run after Sainte-Dévote, more a flat-out climb than a true corner.
A blind left-hander named for the French composer Jules Massenet, remembered by a statue that stands close by near the opera house.
The plaza named for the Casino de Monte-Carlo, which opened in 1865 and is one of the principality's landmark buildings.
The upper ('haute') of the two corners named for the former Mirabeau Hotel.
The slowest corner in Formula 1: cars crawl through at around 48 km/h on full steering lock. It has carried the name of the hotel above it through several eras: Station, then Loews after that hotel opened in 1973, later Grand Hôtel, and today Fairmont.
The lower ('bas') Mirabeau corner, below the hairpin, taking the same hotel's name.
Named for Monaco's Le Portier district, this right-hander sets up the run into the tunnel. Leading the 1988 race by almost a minute, Ayrton Senna brushed the barrier here and retired, having rounded Portier 66 times without trouble, handing victory to team-mate Alain Prost.
Formula 1's only tunnel section, taken at around 260–280 km/h depending on the source, where drivers handle a sudden light-to-dark transition and reduced grip on the curved run.
The harbour-front chicane that replaced the faster, accident-prone Chicane du Port. After Lorenzo Bandini's fatal 1967 crash and years of pressure for a safer alternative, the reworked 'Nouvelle' (new) chicane was introduced for the 1986 race.
The second, right-hand element of the Nouvelle Chicane, snapping the cars back toward Tabac after the tunnel exit. Karl Wendlinger suffered a serious crash at the chicane in 1994.
A quick left named for a tobacconist that once stood on the corner, taken somewhere around 165–195 km/h depending on the source.
The Swimming Pool complex was built on reclaimed land around the Rainier III nautical stadium in the 1970s. Its entry is named Virage Louis Chiron after the Monégasque driver who won his home Grand Prix in 1931.
The second apex of the fast Swimming Pool entry chicane, flicked through at well over 200 km/h.
The slower left of the right-left exit chicane around the harbour pool (Piscine).
The right-hand exit of the Piscine section, completing the Swimming Pool complex.
An unnamed left kink that Formula 1's own circuit guide lists as Turn 17, carrying the cars out of the Swimming Pool toward Rascasse.
A tight, roughly 135-degree right named after a harbour-side bar, itself named for the rascasse (scorpionfish) of the Mediterranean. In 2006 qualifying, Michael Schumacher stopped his car here in a way the stewards judged deliberate, blocking the track, and was sent to the back of the grid.
The final right-hander before the start/finish straight, named for Antony Noghès, who founded the first Monaco Grand Prix in 1929.
