Some key statistics ahead of Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix plus a look back at the last few races at the street circuit.

WINS

Mark Webber’s victory in Spain at the weekend was the Australian’s third and Red Bull’s eighth in Formula One - as many as Brawn managed last season.

Webber can now become the first Australian to win two successive races since Alan Jones in 1980.

Ferrari have won 211 times while McLaren are the second most successful team with 166 victories. Williams have 113 wins.

POLE POSITION

Red Bull have started all five races this season on pole position (Sebastian Vettel 3, Mark Webber 2)

Webber is the only driver to have won from pole position this season.

The last team to take six poles in a row was Ferrari in 2006-07. Ferrari have not been on pole since the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix.

LAST FIVE RACES

2009 - Jenson Button (Brawn)

Button took his fifth win in six races, leading a Brawn one-two after starting on pole. His only mistake was to park in the wrong place after the chequered flag, the Briton then leaping out of the car to run along the straight from the pit lane. Rubens Barrichello was second.

2008 - Lewis Hamilton (McLaren)

Hamilton won to take the championship lead despite starting third and having to make an unscheduled pitstop after hitting the barriers on lap six. The race ended two laps early after the two-hour mark was reached.

2007 - Fernando Alonso (McLaren)

Alonso won for the second year in a row, with team-mate Hamilton completing a dominant McLaren one-two. Alonso started on pole and set the fastest lap, but Hamilton was unhappy and suggested he had been forced by his team into a supporting role.
