Ayrton Senna at Monte Carlo.

The driver with the most wins here, 6, if there was someone who transformed the sweltering and posh motor racing track into a festival of speed and pure skill then was the late great- Ayrton Senna.

Back in 1992, Senna gave motor racing fans a glimpse of his quintessential grit as he clinched a closely fought race fending off an attacking Nigel Mansell in a Williams-Renault.

Having started the race on pole and continuing to hold on to his first-place position well into Lap 71, Mansell endured a suspected tyre puncture in the left rear and pitted for a new set.

From thereon, he would emerge behind Senna, blazing in his McLaren-Honda. But despite being on a fresher set of tyres and going better than two -tenths of a second faster than Senna, the Briton could find no way to go past the Brazilian’s defences.

A race reminiscent of Ayrton Senna’s brave defending from a car that was clearly, way quicker than his waning McLaren made the 1992 Monaco Grand Prix a titanic duel, especially in the dying moments of the 78-lap competition.

It could be added that way, the Monte Carlo GP, is in fact, among the best races ever is owing to its historic romance of producing thrill-fests that beat all calculations and the sheer imposing challenges that drivers have to overcome in winning a race.
