He may not have the figures for the greatest number of tipsy VIPs ever to fall into the Monte Carlo harbour, but Michele Merlino can tell you 99.4 percent of all the other stats relevant to this weekend's Monaco GP

Out of 54 Monaco Grands Prix run so far, the win has come from pole 22 times, 13 times from the second spot on the grid, and nine times from the third.
