About

“F1 McLaren” is a bronze sculpture situated at Portier Roundabout, near Turn 8 of the famous Monaco Grand Prix circuit.

The sculpture represents the McLaren MP4/13 car used by the McLaren F1 team during the 1998 Formula One world championship.  It depicts the car driven by Mika Häkkinen when he took the top step of the podium in the 1998 Monaco Grand Prix.

It was created by the French sculptor Christian Maas.

The bronze was unveiled on 4th June 2000, during the closing ceremony of that year’s Grand Prix. The unveiling was attended by the Prince of Monaco, Rainier III, along with his family, that season’s F1 drivers, and the sculptor.
