McLaren is the most successful team in Monaco, with 15 victories, five more than Ferrari. However, McLaren’s most recent win in Monaco came in 2008.
Max Verstappen won the race in 2023 and has two victories at Monaco on his resume. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton leads current drivers with three victories in Monaco.
On his side, Fernando Alonso also has two wins in Monaco, achieved in 2006 and 2007 with two different teams (Renault and McLaren), an unprecedented feat in Monaco’s F1 history.
