Race interruptions: The Safety Car has been used in three out of the last five races, with a single Virtual Safety Car appearance in that time. Despite the narrowness of the circuit and the proximity of the walls, this race can go without incident. Last year's wet race was red-flagged due to barrier damage.

Overtaking: This is the hardest circuit on the calendar to overtake on. If a move is to be attempted, the Nouvelle Chicane at the end of the tunnel is the best place for it, while Sainte Devote and Mirabeau also provide relatively decent opportunities. Any on-track pass is well-earned here.

Strategy: Monaco traditionally has been a one-stop race, utilising the two softest compounds of Pirelli's range. With no change to the compounds, expect similar again this year. Track position is key here, and car setup will likely prioritise one-lap pace over race pace. The pit time loss is below the season's average.

5. The number of drivers who have been on pole position two years in a row in Monaco: Alain Prost (1983-84); Mika Hakkinen (1998-99); Fernando Alonso (2006-07); Nico Rosberg (2013-14) and Charles Leclerc (2021-22). Better still Ayrton Senna managed it four times (1988-91), while three consecutive pole positions were achieved by Juan Manuel Fangio (1955-57), Stirling Moss (1959-61), Jim Clark (1962-64), Jackie Stewart (1969-71) and Niki Lauda (1974-76).

15. The different car categories that have raced at Monaco apart from Formula 1. Across all of them, 149 drivers have won on the streets of the Principality and, confirming its difficulty, a third of them have raced in Formula 1. Twelve drivers have won in Formula 1 and another category. In date order they are Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart, Jean-Pierre Beltoise, Ronnie Peterson, Niki Lauda (with two F1 wins on a Ferrari), Patrick Depailler, Alain Prost, Mika Häkkinen, Lewis Hamilton, Mark Webber, Daniel Ricciardo and Sergio Perez. There have been 68 Monaco GPs counting towards the world championship, with a total of 36 different winners.

26. The countries in the Eurozone that use the Euro as currency, not to be confused with the members states of the European Union of which there are 27. Of these, Denmark has an exemption and uses the Krone, while Sweden, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria and Romania will adopt the Euro in future. On the other side of the coin, the Euro is used in some states that are not part of the EU: Vatican City, San Marino, Andorra, Montenegro, Kosovo and the Principality of Monaco. This currency is also valid in the British bases, Akrotiri and Dhekelia in Cyprus, making them the only places under British sovereignty to use the Euro.

100. The literacy percentage of Principality of Monaco citizens, which is a world record it holds jointly with that other micro-state, the Vatican City.

139. The number of different nationalities among the residents of the Principality of Monaco. It's an unchallenged world record, as it is the only nation with a figure above the 100 mark.
