The impossible circuit

Monaco's 2-mile street circuit has barely changed since 1929: through a tunnel, past the casino, around a hairpin taken at little more than 30 mph. Nelson Piquet compared driving it to 'riding a bicycle around your living room' — modern F1 cars were never meant to fit, which is the whole appeal.

Kimi Antonelli won from pole for Mercedes, holding on through a late red flag and an eight-lap sprint to the finish. Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) and Isack Hadjar (Red Bull) completed the podium. Recent winners are listed below.
