Test Your Monaco IQ: F1’s Ultimate Quiz

The Magic of Monaco

Monaco is not just a race — it is the Crown Jewel of Formula 1, a cocktail of glamour, danger, and history that no other circuit can replicate. The 2024 edition adds another chapter, but before the engines fire up on Sunday, it’s time to look back at the moments that cemented this race as legend.

The official F1 platform has launched a 10-question quiz to test your knowledge of Monaco’s magic. From rain-soaked heroics to barrier-bashing meltdowns, every corner tells a story.

Iconic Moments That Define the Race

If you’ve watched Monaco long enough, certain images are burned into memory. Here are a few that might appear in the quiz:

• Senna’s 1987 masterclass — the first of his record six wins, lapping the field in the iconic Lotus
• Panis’ 1996 miracle — the only French driver to win for Ligier, surviving a chaotic wet-dry race from 14th on the grid
• Button’s 2009 redemption — Brawn GP’s fairytale continued, but only after a tense duel with teammate Barrichello and a strategic gamble
• Leclerc’s home curse — despite pole in 2021, a DNS heartbreak; in 2022, a strategy blunder dropped him from lead to fourth

"Monaco is like a circus, you know? If you give a monkey a steering wheel, he can drive around here. But to drive fast here is something special." — Nelson Piquet, three-time F1 champion

The quiz doesn’t just celebrate winners. It digs deep into shock podiums, unforgettable overtakes (yes, they exist here), and rookie mistakes that cost careers.

Take the Quiz

The 10 questions are designed to separate the casual fans from the Monaco purists. You’ll face multiple-choice scenarios covering five decades of racing, with a mix of straightforward trivia and obscure stats that only the most obsessive tifosi will know.

How Well Do You Remember?

• Which driver holds the record for most wins? (Hint: his name is etched on the track itself)
• What freak weather event shaped the 1972 race?
• Which constructor turned a pit-lane error into victory in 1992?
• The tightest winning margin in Monaco history is under one second — name the year.

No podium celebration is complete without a deep dive into the past. So, are you ready to prove your Monaco IQ? The quiz is live now on the official F1 website. Share your results, and don’t be surprised if a few of these moments get a fresh retelling come race day.
