The importance of pole position in Monaco: does the one who starts first always win in Formula 1?

Although it may seem otherwise, the answer is NO. Formula 1 has already held 69 races in Monaco and “only” in 31 races the driver who started first won (that is, the Pole won 44.93% of the time). In fact, in 22 of the 69 races, the Pole later abandoned the race (31.88%).

But in recent history this has changed: of the last 19 Monaco Grand Prix races, 16 have started from the front row of the grid and 13 have started from pole position.

In turn, out of 69 Formula 1 races in Monaco, the driver who started in the top 3 won in 59 cases (all but ten), that is, 85.51%.

Outside the top five, that is, those who started the Monaco Grand Prix sixth or worse, only three drivers won: this is a historic Olivier Panis starting from the 14th of 1996, Jochen Rindt ranked eighth in the 1970 edition and Maurice Trintignant from ninth place in 1955).
