Key Corners

Sainte Devote — tight right-hand hairpin at the start of the lap, one of the few overtaking opportunities on the street circuit.

Massenet — sweeping right-hander approaching Casino Square, demanding precision as the road narrows at the top of the hill.

Mirabeau Haute — right-hander descending from Casino Square, requiring careful braking on the steep downhill approach.

Grand Hotel Hairpin (Loews) — the tightest and slowest corner in Formula 1, a right-hand hairpin where cars crawl to around 50 km/h.

Tunnel exit — emerging from the darkness at full speed, drivers must brake hard for the Nouvelle Chicane in one of the most dramatic sequence in racing.

Nouvelle Chicane (left) — second part of the harbour chicane, completed at the edge of the Mediterranean with barriers mere centimetres away.

Swimming Pool (entry) — right-hand entry to the technically demanding Swimming Pool section, built over the Prince's aquatic club.

Swimming Pool (exit) — right-hand exit of the Swimming Pool chicane, setting up the approach to Rascasse.

Rascasse exit — left-hander completing the Rascasse complex, leading onto the short straight toward Anthony Noghes.
