![]() ![]() McLaren have led more laps of the Monaco Grand Prix than any other team, completing 916 laps in the lead.Originally the Station hairpin and then the Lowes hairpin, it’s now named after the hotel which sits on the outside of the track: the Fairmont. The corner has had a number of names through the years. The hairpin is the slowest corner on the F1 calendar, taken at just 48km/h.Due to a combination of its low speed laps, high concentration requirements and the regular intervention of a Safety Car, Monaco is the only current race which doesn’t run to the 305km distance which every other Grand Prix on the calendar must comply to.For the ten seasons between 1984-1993, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna were the only drivers to win the Monaco Grand Prix.That might change as a result of the latest contract, signed in 2022. It is believed to be around half of what other venues pay. ![]()
