The Circuit de Monaco weaves through Monte Carlo’s tight streets, a challenging layout unchanged since its debut in 1929.

Braking Challenges at Monaco

The Monaco Grand Prix is not only a test of speed but also of technical mastery, particularly when it comes to braking. According to Brembo, a leading supplier of braking systems in Formula 1, the circuit presents unique challenges for drivers and their cars. The most demanding braking point on the track is at Turn 10, where cars must decelerate from 283 km/h to 93 km/h in just 1.91 seconds, covering a mere 86 meters. This intense braking requires drivers to apply a staggering 148 kg of force on the brake pedal while enduring a maximum deceleration of 4.7 g. Such demands highlight the precision and skill needed to navigate Monaco’s tight and unforgiving streets.

The Monaco Grand Prix promises a fusion of speed, skill, and sophistication. It’s a must-see for motorsport fans and casual observers alike, delivering an unforgettable showcase on one of racing’s grandest stages.
