What makes for a good Grand Prix? A tense spectacle decided right at the end? Lots of thrilling overtaking moves? A display of brilliant driving? A bafflingly unpredictable result?
The Monaco Grand Prix remains Formula 1's jewel in the crown, and at some point in its long history it has produced races befitting of all of the above descriptors. It has crowned Monaco Masters, such as Graham Hill, Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher, while several drivers have put in career-defining performances on the hallowed streets. Think Stirling Moss against the Ferraris in 1961, or Jochen Rindt with the aged Lotus 49 in 1970.
