HISTORY OF THE MONACO GRAND PRIX
On 14 April 1929, Prince Pierre officially opened the circuit of the 1st Monaco Grand Prix, doing a lap of honour in a Torpedo Voisin driven by race director Charles Faroux.
That inaugural Grand Prix was won by Englishman William Grover-Williams, nicknamed “W Williams”, driving a green Bugatti 35 B, with a time of 3’56’11. He completed the 100 laps at an average speed of 80.194 km/h.
From that point on, the Monaco Grand Prix took off and went from strength to strength.
THE MONEGASQUE F1 STAR CHARLES LECLERC
Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc knows every inch of the circuit better than anyone. Born in the Principality, it is always important for him to do well here. Contracted to Ferrari since 2019, he is the third Monegasque driver to compete in Formula 1, after Louis Chiron and Olivier Beretta. At the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix, Leclerc finally won his home race and it was a celebration for the entire Principality of Monaco.
