Monaco is the worldâs second-smallest country, spanning only 2.2 square kilometers. Yet it's the capital of the wide world of car racing.
For more than 70 years, the country has hosted the Monaco Grand Prix. Itâs one of the worldâs most unusual racecourses, running through the city streets of Monte Carlo. The course goes through a tunnel, up a cliff, and passes just feet from the harbor; it's earned the nickname âthe race of a thousand corners.â
Because of its design, the Monaco Grand Prix has produced some of the most memorable moments in car racing history. But that's not the only reason the race is so prestigious.
Monaco is a tax haven, and for decades has been a favorite place for the rich and famous to stash their wealth. The Grand Prix weekend is the country's biggest weekend of the year, and the combination of a unique course and the worldâs most famous people make the Grand Prix the worldâs most prestigious car race.

Vox forgot Kimi's walk to the yacht after his McLaren stopped during the race .. That was epic
That was iconic*
not even any about senna the biggest winner in monaco
How tf is that relevant to this video? Kimi's walk is a big thing in F1 but not to this video.
@@tanujkumar1576 If you are a real F1 fan, Monaco races are quite boring , external events throughout history were more important than racing itself, So Kimi's walking to the yacht was a major highlight and got more media attention than the winner that day
@@slimharrathi7 Sure, maybe if Vox just wanted to point out how bizarre the race can get, but I feel that that's not why they made the video...

Such a moment of comedy gold that was...
I was looking for this comment!!

@@pschelp3605 dude, it was a joke...
I literally watched that yesterday and I wanted to know more about the Monaco races, and I saw that Vox uploaded it a week ago. And then I found this comment
When does the Monaco Indy car race start this year?
Kind of disappointed we didn't get an onboard view of a lap. It's one thing to tell people that don't watch F1 that racing in Monaco is like biking around your living room, it's entirely another thing to watch the onboard
Copyright laws
Good point. There are plenty of videos on here which show in car footage. I'm sure Vox had to obtain copyright permission for a lot of the footage shown, so onboard footage should have been easy.
Nice Nelson Piquet reference
But not an newer video, it would be awesome to show an Ayrton Senna onboard
Never expected Vox and Formula One in the same video.

'Mr Monaco' Hill was eclipsed by Ayrton Senna, who won SIX, including 5 in a row.
You do realize that this isn't an official title that is connected to 'most Monaco wins', right?
Just because somebody else has more wins now doesn't mean that you lose that title. The only title you lose is 'most Monaco wins'.
@@Liphzzy thing is, Hill is Mr.Monaco, but Senna was crowned the King of Monaco
@@harigovindsarath5023 wdym Albert II is the King of Monaco
it has nothing to do with who is better at Monaco, they used Graham Hill as an example to show that even though he is the only triple crown winner, his nickname has nothing to do with that, and is "Mr. Monaco" instead. it's supposed to show how big of an achievement winning at Monaco is, even compared to the 24h of le mans and the Indianapolis 500. so tired of obnoxious senna fans, he was a great driver sure, but every video that involves Hamilton, Verstappen and Schumacher theres always gonna be someone saying

@k4rlo sure
"winning here is worth winning twice anywhere else". Piquet should know, he never won the Monaco GP.
Well, he wasn't referring only to himself.
Neither did Nigel Mansell, sadly. Just to underline how catastrophically bad Monaco is as a track in terms of difficulty overtaking, Mansell had to make a last minute pit stop after a puncture, and came out behind Senna. Now, Mansell had the insanely dominant Williams FW14B, which was the most advanced car on the grid in '92. He also had fresh tyres, and all the grip in the world. Yet even this wasn't enough for Mansell to force his way past Senna's McLaren, the latter of whom won the race by 0.2 seconds.

â@@natetill812never
not necessarily. the last indy 500 champ was marcus erickson, who is regarded as a terrible f1 driver. its far harder to win in f1, and monaco than in the indy 500@@natetill812
I was fortunate enough to attend the 2019 Monaco Grand Prix race and it was probably the most incredible event I have ever been to. People everywhere on every balcony and roof top cheering in the whole city. Incredible. If you ever get the opportunity absolutely attend this race in person.
What do you think is the best spot to watch from?
You can't talk about Monaco Grand Prix without mentioning Ayrton Senna
Yes you Can. Crofty never mentions him during the race
@@marcelmusterman742 I think you're taking my comment too literally haha of course you don't have to mention him every time. But if you make a video about the history of the Monaco Grand Prix I'd expect you mention the driver who holds the record of winning it the most times.

@@JohnyG29 What?
This, now this is the kind of content Iâm subscribed to Vox for. Also, this one was totally unexpected but very welcomed. I love motor racing and I adore Monte-Carlo. A unique, spectacular place along the French Riviera. As an Italian myself I also appreciate the Italian heritage this place holds, thanks to its founders, the Grimaldi Family. The Monaco GP is an historical but also an undeniably glamorous racing event. Would love to spectate it in person one day, possibly at the hairpin. Cannot wait for Quali later today and the race tomorrow! Last year it wasnât held for the first time ever since 1955, itâs great that itâs back once again.
P.S. The undisputed king of this track is Ayrton for sure. He ended up on the podium a total of 8 times, 6 of which were wins. The most ever here.
Because yachts.

How long does an f1 car float
To those interested in formula one and thinking about watching this race, donât. Wait a couple weeks till the race in Baku, Azerbaijan or the weekend of the 25th in Austria.
100% agree with you. Monaco has all the glitz and glamour but it really is one of the most boring racing spectacles on earth...and I say this as someone who also watches nascar and realizes that a lot of people don't find it interesting!
There are much better races on the f1 calendar like Monza, Suzuka, Baku and many others. I'm still bitter that they got rid of one of the best ones: Malaysia

hey iron, wasn't expecting you here
I visited Monaco once a few years back on a trip to Menton (basically just down the road) and oh boy was it a bizarre experience. It's like a really well maintained ghost town. The country is absolutely beautiful, filled with gorgeous architecture and public gardens, but you barely see anyone walking the streets or driving around. I'm sure if it was part of France and had cheaper house prices and stuff like that, it would be bustling, at least given the areas that are around it, but as it is it's an opulent ghost town.
100%! I went to Monaco for the day while I was on holiday in Nice back in 2015, and this was exactly my impression of it. So much so that we were making jokes about it being a zombie town, or filled only with vampires, and perhaps they only came out at night. We drove there via Ăze, which was an amazing (walking) climb up these meandering tiny streets to a fantastic view at the top, then after taking some fortuitous wrong turns, instead of taking the most direct route we ended up driving into Monte Carlo going too fast down the amazing steep zig-zaggy Rte. de Beausoleil. The whole thing was definitely an experience! We weren't much for casinos though, and definitely don't have the kind of money to make the most of a town like that! So we cut the trip short after some lunch and wanderings, and drove back to Nice for dinner, which felt like a way more compatible vibe đ
Almost all of this has nothing to do with the video, but thanks for the opportunity for a bit of reminiscing! đ„°
It was the best documentary Iâve ever watched. Short and effective great job.
Woah, not a single mention to Ayrton Senna, who's considered to be "The King of Monaco".
When Graham Hill won his 5 Monaco GPs in the 60s, it was the height of Monaco. It was the most competitive race in the world and took great skill. This record stood for decades. When Senna won it was much easier, 1992 when all he had to do was put his car in the middle of the track to stop Mansell who was much faster getting past.
@@MrSkyrimfan much easier?? If so, somebody would had broken Ayrton's record by now. Got pole is pretty hard.
@@henriqueluizlessarocha9903 The 60s was the height of Monaco's competitiveness, the period that made Monaco what is now. Completely different to when Senna was driving.
How was the guy behind him if he was faster in the first place?
@paleolithictech Yes but don't you see? Senna wasn't British so it doesn't count
Prince Louis II, thatâs why.
Hey! Been watching all your recent video and loving every single one of it. Keep up the good work, man!
Hey nice to see you here haha

Monaco is a beautiful track to race and very nostalgic too
Monaco may not be the entertaining race to watch, but it's the most challenging circuit only the talented can taste victory
Love how you're starting a video about the Monaco Grand prix, an F1 race, with the "Gentlemen, start your engines"-soundbyte, which is famously an IndyCar-thing.
Oh! That's why it felt so weird.
They shouldâve started with âitâs lights out and away we go!â

This video combined two of my favorite subjects - history and formula 1! Love it!
Really cool history on what makes the Monaco race special. I also am not surprised after the explanations you gave about the track size and speed restrictions, the racers who start the race at the front most-likely win it all the time
Great video.. just critically failed to mention that: Monaco has THE MOST exciting qualifying.
For most GP weekends you watch 70-80% for the race and 30-20% for qualifying, in Monaco since qualifying is so important (and itâs often where drivers will crash because they are pushing the cars to the absolute limit surrounded by walls) that qualifying is as important as the race. Arguably a 50/50~ split
+
No Monaco is a 100/0 split, going to qualifying. The race is just garbage
The last time Monaco qualifying was actually exciting was when Michael Schumacher parked his car in the middle of Rascasse. The fastest car still gets pole.
@@rumblefish9 Disagree, you clearly haven't seen Schumacher's Monaco 2012 pole

as an F1 fan i dont enjoy watching monaco, but then you see footage of drivers, driving their cars only millimeters away from the barriers and not crashing. That's why drivers love monaco. Even on the f1 game its near impossible to do a lap around monaco without touching the wall or crashing. Drivers do it for 71 laps straight. Thats unique and awesome.

As a lifelong Formula 1 fan and a massive fan of this channel I was a little worries you (An American channel) would do this tory justice. Not only did you do that but I actually learnt the history behind how Monaco came to be and how it became this beacon/icon of wealth and glamour. Great job Vox and happy racing to the other F1 fans. Maybe we'll get a surprise and the the first Monaco born and bred driver will win. Another interesting topic, how Ferrari became the quintessential F1 team
Can imagine some people getting confused with Monaco's 1st GP being in 1929 while the 1st F1 race was in 1950
What does him being American got to do with it?

*LETTER TO EVERYONE GOING THROUGH A BAD PHASE*
Mistakes are very normal in life so when you make a drastic mistake, the best thing to do is learn from it and quickly move on because living in the past would only destroy your future. In 2018 i lost nearly everything, i was at the verge of taking my own life but thanks to a few friends who stood by me, i was able to get over my suicidal thoughts. Fast forward to this very moment and Iâm proud to say that Iâm a millionaire but i promise you, my journey wasn't easy but in the end i came out on top. I tried all sorts of businesses, i even sold drugs at some point but nothing seemed to be working for me. And on one faithful Sunday morning in a Life development class in church, i finally got lucky. I was introduced to a man who God used to turn my life around, talking about Mr Louis Berry. Louis is a portfolio manager who works for Crestline Capital, a US based fund management firm.
He offered to help me invest in the financial market and knowing how good a trader he is,I quickly took a 10K loan from a friend of mine and I investd everything with Louis. To my surprise, in less than 2 weeks I got paid my first profit of $6,291. I kept on reinvestin my profit for another 1 year and made a total of $404,850 and with that I was ready to get my life and businesses back on track
Truly inspiring â€ïžïž. Was worth the long read.
