Undoubtedly, the circuit that has hosted the Monaco Grand Prix throughout its long history in the highest category of motorsport has earned on its own merits to be one of the most prestigious, valued and popular among drivers and fans.

The Spanish rider from Alpine managed to cross the checkered flag in seventh position after a complicated race in mixed conditions and, with this, he completed the 64 laps that could be disputed during the three hours that the event lasted due to the long moments of Red flag.
Thanks to this, Alonso rose to first place in a historic table with 1,262 laps , overtaking a Hill who had managed to keep that record in his possession for many years.
Behind the Spanish and the British, Kimi Raikkonen came really close to leading the record before leaving Formula 1, since with his 1,209 laps around the Monte Carlo track, he was only three laps behind Graham Hill.
The next driver who could be a threat to this record is Lewis Hamilton, the Mercedes driver who has completed a total of 1,153 laps on the streets of the Principality and is in fifth position, behind Rubens Barrichello, 109 laps behind. Alonso .
