Monaco Grand Prix is home to iconic corners such as Casino Square and the Lowes hairpin, making it one of Formula 1’s most famous tracks. The circuit’s tight streets pose a great danger, with even a momentary lapse of concentration proving disastrous for drivers. Kimi Raikkonen’s 2006 engine failure incident ended with his car parked in the harbour, a rare occurrence but not the first in Monaco’s history. F1’s first-ever two-time World Champion, Alberto Ascari, also crashed into the Monaco harbour during the 1955 race, but miraculously survived. Unfortunately, Ascari would meet a tragic end just days later, while another driver, Paul Hawkins, faced a similar fate in 1965. Both drivers’ stories highlight the immense risks and tragedies that have taken place on Monaco’s storied streets.
