Monte Carlo has the smallest capacity of all the circuits at just 37,000 (22,000 grandstands and 15,000 general admission) although unlike other circuits it has a significant non-ticketed attendance. Over the four days of the event it can be estimated quite precisely that there are around 200,000 spectators who follow the grand prix from the grandstands, the balconies of the buildings around the circuit and also from the boats in the harbour
