Sasa (What’s up), F1 fans? The Monaco Grand Prix kicked off in 1929, with William Grover-Williams taking the chequered flag in a Bugatti. Believe it or not, just a year prior, the race nearly didn’t happen—Monaco’s bid for national status was turned down because the proposed layout cut through roads in neighbouring France and Italy. The clever workaround? Transform Monte Carlo’s tight city streets into one of the world’s most iconic circuits. Short on length but big on laps, this motorsport spectacle has been thrilling fans ever since.
