Monaco GP was something of a special circuit for Ayrton Senna. This is where he made his mark as a great contender by driving his underpowered Toleman all the way up to 2ND place. He also was known for as the Monaco master because he won the race as many times as he could. Monaco is the jewel of Formula 1 where all the rich and celebrities flock to see the grand prix.
So it makes winning in Monaco GP a bit more of a plus for the driver and team because they can attract some of the rich sponsors. The Monaco master was obviously Ayrton Senna because he won it six times. Graham Hill gets close to it by winning 5 wins in Monaco and so as Schumacher, but Senna stays on top this time. Schumacher owns all the record but not this one.
Senna came close winning 7 or 8 times in Monaco if his luck had not deserted him. Just like in the year 1984 when he was closing in on Prost and all of a sudden they terminated the race. Then in 1988 where I have to admit it was his fault, but regardless that race was all on him because he was on pole. Normally if your on pole in Monaco, then you have a greater chance of winning. You see unlike any other grand prix in the calendar, Monaco is a street circuit and the road is narrow. So in other words its hard to pass and the only way to win comfortably is to attain pole position.
So this is one of the legendary tracks worth to recon with, and if you win in this track many times. Then this shows that you have plenty of luck, speed, and talent because this is one of the most difficult race track in the calendar.
