Monaco Grand Prix: 2026 Result, 2027 Dates, Tickets, Circuit Guide and Winners List

The Monaco Grand Prix is the most famous race in Formula 1. The cars squeeze through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo. Barriers sit a hand away from the wheels. One small slip ends a race.

At the end you get a winners table you can bookmark. We checked every number against official sources. Some older pages still show outdated figures so we point those out as we go.

Monaco Grand Prix at a glance

What is the Monaco Grand Prix?

The Monaco Grand Prix is a Formula 1 race on the Circuit de Monaco. The track winds through Monte Carlo and La Condamine beside Port Hercules. The Automobile Club de Monaco runs the event.

The first race took place on 14 April 1929. Antony Noghes planned it and Prince Louis II backed him. William Grover-Williams won in a Bugatti. He raced under the name Williams.

The race joined the first Formula 1 World Championship in 1950. It came back in 1955 and ran every year until COVID-19 cancelled the 2020 race. It returned in 2021.

Monaco also belongs to the Triple Crown of Motorsport. The other two races are the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Graham Hill is the only driver who has won all three. And here’s a quirky detail. Monaco is the only Grand Prix that skips the FIA’s 305 km minimum race distance. Its race is shorter at 260.286 km.

Who won the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix?

Kimi Antonelli won for Mercedes on 7 June 2026. He started from pole with a lap of 1:12.051 and finished in 2:23:31.243. It was his fifth win in a row. Lewis Hamilton took second for Ferrari. Isack Hadjar took third for Red Bull Racing.

The rest of the points went to Arvid Lindblad in sixth and Pierre Gasly in seventh. Alex Albon took eighth and Esteban Ocon ninth. Fernando Alonso finished tenth and gave Aston Martin its first top 10 of the season.

What happened in the race?

• Max Verstappen’s car failed to get going at the start. Red Bull retired it soon after.
• Seven drivers did not finish. They were Verstappen, Norris, Bearman, Bottas, Stroll, Leclerc and Sainz.
• Lance Stroll crashed at the final corner with about 20 laps to go. The Safety Car came out and many drivers pitted again.
• Charles Leclerc crashed at the same corner after the restart. That brought out a red flag in front of his home fans.
• Several drivers had pit lane speeding penalties. Some served them under the Safety Car.
• Hadjar took his first podium for Red Bull.

Why isn’t Gasly on the podium?

Gasly crossed the line third. Two five second penalties for pit lane speeding then moved him down. Alpine asked for a Right of Review and the stewards cancelled the penalties. McLaren and Red Bull appealed. On 4 September 2026 the FIA International Court of Appeal brought the penalties back. Gasly dropped to seventh and Hadjar moved up to third. Some websites still show Gasly in third so check the date on any result page you read.

When is the 2027 Monaco Grand Prix?

The 2027 race weekend runs from 3 to 6 June 2027. Race day is Sunday 6 June. Monaco moved to the first weekend of June from 2026. The old late May date often clashed with the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600. The new slot ends that problem.

The race has a long future too. F1 confirmed in September 2025 that Monaco will stay on the calendar through 2035.

What is on the 2027 weekend schedule?

One thing looks odd. The ACM programme also lists an F1 Sprint Qualifying on Friday and a Sprint Race on Saturday. The page says the schedule can change. Check the final F1 calendar before you plan around a sprint.

How much are Monaco Grand Prix tickets?

The official 2027 ticket site sells single tickets. It shows Pack Week-end and Pack Grand Prix as no longer available. Use the Buy tickets button to pick a grandstand.

The 2027 prices page has four charts. They cover full prices and packages. They also cover children aged 6 to 15 and areas for guests with reduced mobility. The charts are images so we won’t copy numbers here. Open the live page for current prices.

Buy from the ACM ticket site or the F1 ticket page. Resellers and agents sell tickets too. Check who you’re paying before you click.

Where is the best place to watch?

• Grandstands L to P sit around the Swimming Pool section. Drivers hurl their cars through the tight chicane there at about 200 km/h.
• Grandstand B looks over Casino Square. It gives the prettiest view.
• Hotels and homes sell balcony views. Wealthy fans also watch from yachts in the harbour.
• After the racing you can walk the track. Some terrace bars even serve dinner on it.

Circuit de Monaco corner guide

The lap starts on the pit straight and heads straight into trouble. Here are the main corners in order.

The tunnel deserves its own note. Drivers leave it at the fastest point of the lap. They go from gloom to bright daylight and still need to brake for the chicane. Their eyes get little time to adjust.

Nelson Piquet once compared racing here to riding a bicycle around your living room. He also said a win at Monaco counts for two anywhere else. Fair enough.

Why is overtaking so hard at Monaco?

The streets are narrow and the cars have grown big. There’s simply no room to pass. F1 notes that the 2003 race had zero passing moves. In 2024 the top 10 finished in the exact order they started.

The FIA tried a fix in 2025. Every driver had to make two pit stops. Lando Norris still won from pole and the race stayed quiet. For 2026 the two stop rule was dropped.

Some drivers call Monaco boring. Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton have both said so. Others love the glamour and the risk. The 2026 race shows both sides. It had crashes and a red flag and seven retirements. Yet the winner still started on pole.

Monaco Grand Prix records

A quick warning on lap records. An older F1 page still lists Max Verstappen’s 1:14.260 from 2018. Hamilton’s 2021 lap is faster. Antonelli’s fastest lap in 2026 was 1:13.481 so it didn’t beat it.
