How Did Monaco's Famous Corners Get Their Names? 

NO HEROICS INTO SAINT DEVOTE PLEASE.

Please make this in all circuits of the season that has corners' names!

La rascassamecassame as it was said by richard hammond

0:02 - Sainte Dévote 0:19 - Beau Rivage 0:35 - Massenet 0:54 - Cassino Square 1:10 - Mirabeau 1:24 - Hairpin (Loews) 1:42 - Portier 2:10 - Tabac 2:26 - Swimming Pool 2:42 - Rascasse 2:59 - Antonhy Noghes

Portier is my favorite. What comes to mind is when I first drove around this track before I was even into F1 in Gran Turismo 5. From going into the sharp right hander and hugging the barrier to getting a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean, it's one helluva corner.

I thought "the hairpin" is called "loews"?!

La Rascasse, a corner where drivers dare to overtake their rivals, sometimes it ends good (Bianchi on Kobayashi 2014/Leclerc on Grosjean 2019) but sometimes doesn't (Perez on a Toro Rosso 2017/Leclerc on Hulkenberg 2019)

Dude, F1 has finally got a modern media presence. I am so damn impressed with your youtube chanel. Keep going, this is the stuff we have been missing!!!

What about Novelle Chicane?

1:07 even official F1 content creators miss the real sound of F1 xD

Heh, I'm not the only one who re-uploads my old stuff.

I miss the old logo so much.

Turn 1: No heroics into Sainte Devote please Massanet: Beware understeer Mirabeau: Nico Rosberg famously had a mishap here Hairpin: Unlike the one in Montreal, this one's way too slow to safely attempt "Hairpin Time" Portier: So, did anyone else see the number 94 Sauber C36 on its left side against the outside barrier? Nouvelle: Well, there went Leclerc's brakes, to the misfortune of Brendon Hartley Tabac: I believe that was Crashtor Maldonado who bumped the backmarker... Swimming Pool: The right-hander for the second half is easy to botch Rascasse: Schumi famously had a mishap here

Great content coming from the F1 channel this year

1:25 HAIRRPIIN TIME

Great insight! Thanks :D

harpin? lowe's corner... because the old Hotel's name was so

1:51 Zombie Ayrton.

i was so lucky that i was able to go last year here, not for the race weekend but again, its amazing

There’s actually two Mirabeau’s. The top one which is before the hairpin which is called Mirabeau Haute and then the corner between the hairpin and Portier which is called Mirabeau Bas

Que grandes momentos se han vivido en estas curvas :)

Nice. Would mind a video like this before every gp

No HeRoIcS iNtO sAiNt DeVoTe PlEaSe, *we're amongst the pack and just need to stay in one piece*

good info, thanks

Thanks great video :D

Monaco by MKTO will be blasting in my headphones when I go to Monaco for f1!

I came back here because I just watched Cars 2 (yeah, for the first time), and in the Italian race there's a turn that's a complete nod to the Hairpin, it's the tightest corner of the race and it's a downhill to the "casino bridge", the circuit looks nothing like Monaco and it's on Italy, but that turn is definitively the Hairpin

I think Tabac is the most challenging corner in the world... yes, even more than Eau Rouge, Senna's S or the Loews Hairpin. i never get it right on the games, too high speed to be done correctly and any mistake can lead you into the wall.

Please do this for silverstone as well!

Unofficially I've heard commentators call the exit of the hairpin "lower Mirabeau" (just before the bridge leading to Portier). Thanks for the video, I knew some of these but not the stories behind all of them.

Really interesting!

1:26 isn't it the Loewes Hairpin?

legendary circiut my favorite turn is nouvelle chicane tabac begore tinnel now you dont see the sea some bulidings there harbour marina before tunnel you can see the boats in distance i miss that

Much better than Turn 1, Turn 2, Turn 3 etc...

1:09 best place 😂😂😂

Why did I get this recommended now? I literally thought that it´s a new video...

Before you read the comments, here is a run-down of the contents. 1) "wasnt the hairpin called Loews?" 2) "get rid of nouvelle chicane" 3) "dont forget nouvelle chicane" 4) "track is boring/needs more overtakes" 5) complaints about editing/pronunciation/everything 6) my childish-ass joke about monza And that's about it.

The hotel ‘action’ joke 😏

The only circuit where I can name nearly all of the corners, including Silverstone (being British).

No heroics into Sainte devote please

Make this for the others tracks too!

Do Spa and Silvestone!

Zepter is most iconic for pass the tunnel

Am I going mad but didn't they upload this last year? Nice way to milk your videos, just keep re-uploading them!

Re-uploading old videos when the circuit had changed? As of last year Tabac has been made tighter on the exit yet the video says it hasn't changed

yeah yeah the chicane that's nice.. At least could of name this catchy tune

What i really want to know, though, is what is the name of that turn at monza. If i say the first thing i think of, its almost like a parabola shaped turn before the main straight... like the main defining feature of it is a parabola and a car. Parabola-car... now obviously, the F1 that i know would never name a turn something cheap and unimaginative like "Parabolica", so i have to wonder what name they picked for it in the end. 🤔

Really high hopes for both McHondas this weekend.Both em in championship points'll be cool.

Where is the Novelle chicane? Arguably the best chicane in F1 history.

Monaco you say? *nO hERoIcS InTo SAiNt dEVote PleAsE*

Can't wait for the Leclerc corner

2:10 add an o

Are there any old photos or footage of the old tobacconists at Tabac corner?

No heroics in Sainte Devote pls

Where would you rather watch the race? Or where have you if you've been there? I suppose either a tall building in Beau Rivage or the exit of the tunnel area would be good for me.

Wasn't the Hairpin called Lowe's HP?

I'm probably a bit weird but I refer to Rascasse & Noghes as Gas and Loews I still refer to as Station.......

I think the Chicane after the Tunnel should get a name too

Bro, who was the composer who made the banger in the background?

Portier : The Crucial Corner To Make An Overtaking With Sleepstreaming In The Exit Of The Tunnel.

For me the Hairpin is for always the loews

Here we go, hairpin time!

the speed of formula one cars at hairpin corner is my city speed limit :/

Hairpin? Fairmont? No, my friends. It will be forever LOEWS.

It’s so funny how they’re not allowed to say the name "Loews" anymore. Haha.

16❤

Isn't the schichane after the tunnel called Neuvelle?

Surely I'm not the only person that thought the first corner was zandvoort

If you are wondering what the Nouvelle Chicane is called because Nouvelle is French for ‘new’

How about nouvelle chicane?

I'm gonna hazard a guess here that there will be a re-upload of this video,..... shortly,. :P

Re-upload from 2015?

At 1:50 The video says Senna crashed at the Portier In 1998 But he died in 1994 didnt he?

1:50 Senna 1998? Seriously?

Petition to rename Rascasse as Schumacher corner

+Matthew Gannon lol

Hairpin I thought it was called Loews

Who's watching this in 2018?

and what about "Lowes"

Tobac + o what do you get

pity with modern technology they couldn't cover the swimming pool for another straight

Rose's Bar?

Thats got to be the most unprofessionally edited video F1 has ever put out

Nouvelle chicane?

i thought the hairpin was name because the corner look like the real hairpin..

Sound like DaveHax

make it for interlagos and bet you will mispel it as brazilian says

I can hardly believe it that people could complain on Monaco its track! It's the highlight of the whole season together with Spa and Monza. "No overtaking..." "Boring track", blah blah blah...

Damn native English speaker surely have a problem with pronunciation of French words. Easier for germans, fuck yeah.

Idc what they want to call it to me the hairpin will always be called the Loews Hairpin.

What about nouvelle chicane? Or is that too self-explanatory? :P

you missed the chicane namae

nouvelle chicane?

I thought Portier was named like that so rich people could finally acknowledge the doormen they never thank from all the hotels.

1:51 1998?

If charles leqler wants to gamble is he allowed to?

I would absolutely love it if Liberty Media managed to get Martin Brundle to do these videos, his voice with his interpretation of things and idioms would be a delightful listen.

Did anyone else hear the narrator say 1998 and not 1988 when talking about Senna's crash?

I hope Lewis gets the fair share of his luck here.. so does the 2 McLarens!

First mistake Poitier he crashed in 1989
