The Circuit de Monaco is the slowest and tightest track in Formula 1, a 3.337 km lap stitched through the streets of Monte Carlo that has barely changed since 1929. Cars thread between Armco barriers with centimetres to spare, climb to Casino Square, drop through the tunnel and brush the harbour, all at speeds that would feel slow anywhere else on the calendar.
This map lays the full lap on the real streets and paints it by speed, so you can see at a glance where a Formula 1 car is flat out and where it is barely crawling. The Grand Hôtel Hairpin, taken at around 45 km/h, is the slowest corner in the entire sport.

Data & how to read it
Speed on this page is mapped from a real Formula 1 qualifying pole lap via FastF1, aligned onto the street geometry and snapped to the track, so the colours are measured speed rather than an estimate. It is refreshed to the latest pole after each Monaco Grand Prix weekend.
