Nice overview. And I like the Kimi-drunk bit.

But why are there 42% 'key' moments from the past 10 years, as opposed to 58% from the previous 80 years? Surely there we more moments from that period, or the most recent moments aren't that 'key' at al.

It's from my own memory and what I could find on the internet, looking for 'best moments' and 'best races Monaco'.

Feel free to suggest more stuff though!

Fun picture, nice work.

I don't think Kimi's boat incident happened in Monaco. In the video there are a lot Finns talking in the background so it probably happened somewhere in Finland.

[Disgrace]

Ralf will be delighted his qualifying crash ranks up there with those moments.

Here's a more spectacular Tabac crash.

And here's one that actually turned into a race-winning move.

OMG he's sitting on a boat. How did that miss the key moments map?

[Lights]

I remember Klien actually crashing in the hairpin.

[lustigson]

:-D

[Boing 2]

Brundles crash?

[dweller23]

Lacks two most unforgettable moments from Monaco: Daly's fly from 1980 and the carnage from first lap in 1950.

Would be a perfect fit for the Monaco GP build up thread!

Raikkonens crash into Sutil (who was in P4) was something i remember clearly as well

[Meanbeakin]

Webber and Vettel jumping into the harbour in 2010. A friendly moment which has an added significance as it was the last weekend before they really became enemies (With Turkey 2010 happening one week later).

2008, DC and Bourdais had a crash seconds apart at Massenet.

In 2009, Button ran on the start-finish straight after winning the race as he incorrectly parked his car in the pit lane when the top 3 finishers should park at the start-finish straight.

For Tabac you could go with the 1950 pile-up when a wave from the harbour flooded the circuit.

[Jackmancer]

Good suggestions! Will add them later

Keep 'm coming!

[dweller23]

Also, you could add 1981 hotel fire just above the tunnel entry, which caused a flood in tunnel and delayed the start of the race for over an hour.

[Apex]

That's not the one in the OP. Here's the real one:

Some stuff from the 1996 GP: Schumi crashes on the first lap and the crash between Irvine, Salo and Häkkinen.

[Skinnyguy]

The 2005 Toyota (Trulli or Ralf?) pass on Fisichella on the hairpin was pretty epic. And that mechanic celebrating was hilarious

Not an Grand Prix, but I always thought this was quite funny.. Monaco03 Wirdheim Wins OH NO Kiesa Does

What about Perez crash in 2011? That was pretty big

Patrese & Piquet clash in St. Devote 1985

1992: Senna wins the race after holding off Mansell in the dominant Wiliams for several laps.

1993: Senna takes a record-breaking 6th win.

[Les]

2010 when we were heading for an epic finish between Vettel, Alonso and Button only for a silly crash Petrov, Alguersauri and co to bring out the Red Flag and ruin it all. We did get Hamilton's kamikaze move after the restart taking Maldonado out then his infamous interview afterwards.

One from history that should be noted is the massive pile up at Tabac behind Fangio in 1950, when he came back round he instinctively slowed as he could see the crowd were focused on that area.

[encircled]

That's not the one in the OP. Here's the real one:

Aren't they the same exact link?

[KTF1]

Senna's crash from the lead in 1988?

[Apex]

Aren't they the same exact link?

You're right, this was the one I meant to post: Kimi Räikkönen falling down from Yacht.

[Cavani]

the only year that monaco disappointed was 2012 where it was hyped to be a classic where it turned to be a boring tyre-saving webber-following no-overtaking race

[scheivlak]

Senna's crash from the lead in 1988?

Is there....

[Jackmancer]

1992: Senna wins the race after holding off Mansell in the dominant Wiliams for several laps.

Yeah I was thinking this one too but difficult to pick one spot on the map for that...

[Rubens Hakkamacher]

Excellent work, I like that after reading the title, what I saw was exactly what I expected. Thanks!

[Baddoer]

Some "also-key"

1994 Brundle's arguably best ever drive in Formula 1
1997 Barrichello drives to P2 in Stewarts' debut season
2004 Trulli's only win
2010 Only 6 years later Trulli on top of Chandhok's HRT
2012 Schumachers last "pole" in qualifying

[Risil]

Yes!

And Panis on Irvine in 1996, a pass at the hairpin that actually worked. They should write the avoidable collision rule assuming a priori that this should be legal.

1992: Senna wins the race after holding off Mansell in the dominant Wiliams for several laps.

For the sake of editorial balance we should probably also include Bernoldi doing the same thing to Coulthard in 2001.

A classic Satoism in 2004.

Ricardo Rosset makes a bad situation worse.

[pedant]2011.[/pedant]

Of course it was, silly me.

Also there was this classic moment where De Chesaris takes out Piquet at the hairpin (89) and they sit in their cars waving at each other.

[Afterburner]

A classic Satoism in 2004.

This is one of the ones that first came to mind for me. I had never seen F1 cars move so casually under race conditions, if only for a few seconds.

[Rob G]

Ascari wasn't the only one who went swimming in the harbor. Paul Hawkins duplicated the feat in 1965. And there was a big pileup at the chicane in 1937.

[George Costanza]

That was because Michael Schumacher's pole lap was taken away.

I still don't know what Michael was trying to do there!! Anyone can explain?

[Buttoneer]

Not sure about the inclusion of Horner in the swimming pool but Kimi and his boat are real winner Great fun to see this anyway.

I would like to suggest the addition of Alonso flicking the bird to Ralf Shumacher at the tunnel exit after being forced to overtake on the marbles in (had to look it up) 2004.

Probably the most epic flip-off ever.

Have Rascasse got enough parking places this year?

[Skinnyguy]

It´s called tyre warming. You accelerate and brake hard to keep temperature in your tyres to have good grip on a restart. It´s not your fault to have a guy behind too close and not paying enough attention, especially without an inminent restart.
