It’s that time of year again; The Monaco Grand Prix, for the 70th time, graces the Formula 1 calendar with its presence.

While overtaking has become increasingly difficult as cars have got bigger, and produced more downforce, the famous Monte Carlo streets continue to challenge drivers like no other track does.

As the great Nelson Piquet once said, it is “like riding a bicycle around your living room.”

Ahead of this year’s event — which you can follow live with ESPN — take a look at some iconic shots of the race weekend, from past, to present.

From the start of the lap

To the end

Monaco has been the jewel in F1’s crown for seven decades.

With its winding streets,

And unique backdrops,

There’s nowhere quite like Monte Carlo.

A fans’ favourite,

And a drivers’ favourite,

Who will come out on top in 2025?
