The Monaco Grand Prix started proceedings for the first time away back in the year 1929.  The idea to host a Grand Prix on the streets of Monaco was Anthony Noghes idea. The inaugural edition was won by Williams and his Bugatti Type 35B car. That was the start of a race that has now become one of the most spectacular Formula One races of the entire calendar.
 
The race didn’t take too long to capture the imagination of the wider public and the event in 1933 became the first race where the starting positions were decided via practice sessions. The two World Wars arrived on the scene and auto racing was halted till the year 1945. The FIA then devised Formula One in 1946. The first Monaco Grand Prix held under the banner of Formula One took place two years later.
 
No event took place in 1949, 1951 and 1952. The race became a constant fixture of the annual Formula One World Championship in the year 1955. One of the most intriguing aspects of the race is the design of the race track. It is held at the famous “Circuit de Monaco” which is arguably the toughest track on the circuit today.
 
The Circuit de Monaco is just over two miles in length. What makes it so interesting is the fact it has a very narrow design which makes it extremely tough for drivers to overtake their competitors. It tests the skill of the drivers and their back ground team to the hilt which makes it for even more compelling viewing. This is one of the reasons why it is considered to be among the toughest races of the year and one that is known to throw up surprise results quite a lot.
 
The legendary Brazilian “Ayrton Senna” holds the record for the most Monaco Grand Prix wins with six triumphs against his name. Graham Hill and Michael Schumacher are joint second on the list with five wins each. On the constructors front McLaren leads the count with a whopping fifteen wins followed by Ferrari in second who have come out on top on nine occasions.
