It is impressive to see that in multiple eras some of the world’s best drivers managed to conquer the Circuit de Monaco winning multiple races over their careers. McLaren is the undisputed master of the circuit and having Prost and Senna steering them to multiple victories certainly helped.
It is highly unlikely anyone will ever match Senna’s record in Monaco but if you had to place your bets on a future driver who would it be?
