Circuit de Monaco
Monaco F1 Track Guide

A1: Sainte Devote

If you want to see all the action of the run down to the start, Sainte Devote is the place to be. A tricky uphill right-hander that heads towards the winding, flat out run up to Massenet before the cars arrive at Casino Square.

The entry to, and exit from, Sainte Devote make it one of the few genuine overtaking spots on the Monaco F1 circuit. Romain Grosjean and Max Verstappen have both ended up on top of the barriers here, and Fernando Alonso go it so wrong at Massenet in practice that he required a new chassis to be flown in from Maranello.

If you’d like to sit at Sainte-Devote rather than the seats specific to your package, just ask the team when you speak to them. All details here: https://www.grandprixgrandtours.com/monaco-grand-prix-package/

B: Casino Square

There are few places as quintessentially “Monaco” as the Casino Square Grandstand. With views over the Monte Carlo Casino and the Café de Paris, if you’re lucky enough to be sitting here then you’re in for a treat.

Located at the exit of Massenet, Casino Square might as well be a chicane. With only one racing-line through, you’re unlikely to see much overtaking, but you will be treated to stunning views at this high speed section of the circuit.

Grandstand B is also located very close to the train station, making access to-and-from Nice very simple.

C: Portier

If you want to see F1 cars disappearing into a tunnel, then Portier is the place to be. While it may be a slower section of the Monaco GP Track, Portier makes up for that with the aural assault that follows.

Overtaking is not unheard of, but when Jenson Button last tried it here, poor Pascal Wehrlein wound up shiny-side down. It is also the location of Ayrton Sennas crash while leading by a country mile.

Portier is a small and intimate grandstand, and is ideal if you prefer a less crowded location.

K: Bureau de Tabac

‘Tabac’ asks the age-old question – does size matter? Well, if you like incredible atmosphere, harbour views, and one of the best views of the Monaco F1 Track, then Tabac is the place to be.

The Monaco harbourfront is one of the most iconic views in world sport, and from Tabac you can see almost all of it.

Located at the run down from the tunnel, the left hander entering the harbourfront is one of the fastest parts of the circuit, and also one of the best overtaking areas. This is why it’s one of our favourite places to be.

L, M, N, O, P: Piscine/Swimming Pool

The Swimming Pool may not have the stunning harbour views, but it makes up for that in terms of the action it delivers.

As the cars and drivers exit Tabac they are then faced with two very tricky chicanes. They might not be fast, but the demand a lot from the drivers, and have caught many of them out. Charles Leclerc crashed here in 2021 during qualifying (after already securing pole), and Max Verstappen did the same thing in 2017 and 2018!

The Swimming Pool Grandstands are larger than most, meaning a fantastic atmosphere is almost assured.

T: Rascasse

For anyone lucky enough to know Monaco in the off-season, The Rascasse is the place where live music plays, rose wine flows, and you’re almost guaranteed to wake up the next day with a sore head. However, if you’re here at Grand Prix weekend, you’ll mostly care about the racing.

Grandstand T is located at the exit of the swimming pool complex, curving left as the cars head towards the tight double-right-hander that the actual Rascasse overlooks. From the upper section you get a fantastic view of the cars approaching from the swimming pool. The lower section gives you the perfect position to get as close to the track as is possible. Not only that, but Grandstand T is also the best vantage point to see what’s going on in the pits.

V: Anthony Noghes

Given the direct views over the Rascasse Bar’s upper terrace, you might be forgiven for thinking this grandstand is the Rascasse Grandstand. But it’s not. It’s Anthony Noghes. Names after the famous Monegasque that founded the Grand Prix.

Aside from high-spirited evenings, this corner is infamous for a variety of other reasons. Michael Schumacher parked his Ferrari here in 2006 in an attempt to stop Fernando Alonso getting pole position. Its has also been the scene of dozens of failed over-takes as drivers ambition turns out to be bigger than the gap they try to get their cars through.

A smaller grandstand, it is not short of action!

X1/2: The Main Straight

For those that are desperate to see the start-line action, Grandstands X1 & X2 are as close as you can get. This is also a fantastic spot for seeing the teams and drivers prepare for the race, as well as seeing the post-race celebrations.
