Monaco Grand Prix?

Question

Has any American ever competed in the Monaco Grand Prix and has any ever won the race? When is it held?

Answer 1

It's held in May each year - there is an exact reason related to being a certain number of days after a certain religious date, but I can never remember the details.

No Americans have ever won the race, but Phil Hill (once 2nd, twice 3rd), Richie Ginther (3 times 2nd) & Masten Gregory (3rd once) have all finished on the podium. American greats Mario Andretti and Dan Gurney both had poor records at Monaco; in 6 starts Andretti only finished once in the points (5th in 1977), in 7 starts Gurney was only classified once, for 5th place in 1961.

Other Americans have started the Monaco GP: Eddie Cheever (7 starts, one 5th place), Harry Schell (6 starts, one 5th place), Peter Revson (1 start, one 5th place), Scott Speed (2 starts, no points), Danny Sullivan (1 start, one 5th place), Mark Donohue (1 start, DNF), Michael Andretti (1 start, no points) & Bob Bondurant (1 start, one 4th place) are the ones I have found.
