The "Circuit De Monaco" is one of the most talked about, loved and famous circuits in Formula 1 & motorsports in general. The circuit held its first Grand Prix in 1929, making it one of the oldest circuits. It's located in the glam & beautiful city of Monte Carlo.
The current version of the circuit has 19 turns and runs clockwise. It has a capacity of 120,000 and is 2.075 miles in length. The Formula 1 race runs 78 laps. Being a Street Circuit, it is also known to be one of the most dangerous circuits in motorsports.
Last year, Nico Rosberg took pole and went on to win the race, with team-mate Lewis Hamilton, finishing in second and Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo finishing third. Marussia (Now Manor-Marussia) took home their first points when Jules Bianchi finished 9th for the team & Manor hopes they can honor him this year by finishing the race with good results.
