The Monaco Grand Prix may be one of the most glitzy events on the Formula 1 calendar, but there are fewer overtakes and more crashes on average than any other track.
Narrow streets and winding roads in Monte Carlo have seen the likes of Jenson Button, Alberto Ascari and Martin Brundle succumb to horrific crashes over the years.
Research from BonusCodeBets has determined that, while there are just 10 overtakes per race at Monaco, there are 3.2 crashes on average.
This is more than any other track, with South Korea, Singapore and Azerbaijan also dangerous for drivers. Similarly, Tuscany and the Netherlands are notorious for overtakes – whilst China, Bahrain and Germany are far more open and exciting.
