Gallery: The best images from Monaco Historic Grand Prix day 1

13th May 2022
Ben Miles

The future of the Monaco Grand Prix is hotly debated year-upon-year. Do the modern cars suit the track? Can it ever be good for racing? The arguments continue nearly ad infinitum. But at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix, the Monte-Carlo’s F1 round is celebrated for the magnificent spectacle that it is.

The weekend follows the format of an ordinary Grand Prix weekend. Friday is for practice, Saturday qualifying and Sunday racing. But, unlike an F1 weekend, that doesn’t mean hours and hours of yawning down time. There are enough races in the Historic Grand Prix to fill the time – even with a suitably gallic lunch break thrown into the mix.

These are the best photos that our photographers captured during this first day of the 2022 event. The weather remained a respectable 20 degrees throughout, but the clouds still managed to hang low over the mountainsides that Monaco just manages to cling to, bringing some changeable track conditions. But the thing about Monaco is that, no matter the weather, or the quality of the tarmac, the backdrop is always spectacular, and it delivers that spectacle in a way that other modern street circuits simply cannot recapture.

Remember we’ll be live streaming all the action from the Monaco Historic Grand Prix weekend, and you can watch it all right here.
