On-track overtaking in Monaco is a rare commodity – drivers were complaining about the narrowness of the streets when Tazio Nuvolari was in his pomp.
Indeed, we reckon the last time the world’s greatest drivers graced the principality with a genuine pass for the lead on anything other than the first lap was in 1985, when Michele Alboreto elbowed his way past Alain Prost at Sainte Devote at the beginning of lap 24. Pit strategy and incidents account for most changes of position here.
