Monaco appeared on the first F1 world championship calendar in 1950, and has been held in all but five years since then, gaining a reputation as one of the most challenging tracks on the calendar due to its tight street course configuration.

Monaco will continue to host Formula 1 races until at least 2031 after a new six-year deal was agreed. One of the sport's most iconic and prestigious races, the Monaco Grand Prix first took place in 1950 and has been an ever-present in the calendar since 1955.
