Monaco F1 circuit

At 2.074 miles long, the Monaco circuit is by far the shortest on the calendar. Therefore, after 78 laps, the drivers do not reach the minimum 186 miles, but drive only 162 miles. This is to prevent the race from taking longer than the maximum allowed two hours. The lap record at the circuit in its current form (since 2015) is held by Max Verstappen. The Dutchman drove a 1.14.260 in his Red Bull in 2018.
