Most world champions have won around the streets of Monte Carlo, with Ayrton Senna claiming a staggering six victories in the principality.

Red Bull have recently dominated Formula 1 races in Monaco, winning the last three grands prix there in recent years, through both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.

Whilst a win around Monaco can consolidate a drivers' name in the F1 history books, a mistake around the circuit can easily ruin their race weekend.

Monaco-born Charles Leclerc knows more than most how unlucky a driver can be around the street circuit, hitting the barriers in 2021.

Despite this incident, Leclerc still managed to claim pole position, but a gearbox issue on the opening lap of the grand prix prevented him from taking his first home victory.

Similarly, Perez crashed in qualifying during the 2022 Monaco GP thwarting Verstappen’s attempts to overhaul his time.

Red Bull junior driver Isack Hadjar, who currently races in Formula 2, could have been involved in a catastrophic incident with Ritomo Miyata during qualifying on Friday.

Miyata had slowed down in the iconic tunnel section of the street circuit, struggling with a power unit issue when the Red Bull junior came flying into the tunnel.

Driving at full speed towards Miyata who was out of sight in the right-hand corner, Hadjar managed to jerk his Campos car away in the nick of time to avoid what would have been a devastating collision.

Not only did Hadjar display lightning quick reactions, but he also sealed a P3 start on the grid for F2’s feature race on Sunday.
