3 the number of times in the last eight years in which a Ferrari has had to start from the back of the grid at this race. On the two previous occasions – 2006 with Schumacher and 2010 with Alonso - a points finish still came at the end of the day thanks to a fifth place for the German and a sixth for the Spaniard. This time that didn’t happen as Felipe Massa had to retire after crashing into the barriers on lap 29.
6 the points scored today by Scuderia Ferrari thanks to a seventh place for Fernando Alonso. It is the Scuderia’s worst result in this race since 1996, when neither Prancing Horse driver made it to the finish. In 2005, the highest placed Ferrari was Michael Schumacher in seventh, one ahead of team-mate Rubens Barrichello.
9 the number of points finishes for Fernando Alonso in twelve Monaco Grands Prix. The Spaniard only failed to score in 2001 (retired,) 2004 (accident) and 2008 tenth, (at a time when the points only went to the top eight.) His record here includes two wins and a further two podium finishes. Fernando also has a seventh place to his name in 2009, when he was with Renault.
12 the number of years that have passed without a Ferrari win in the Monaco Grand Prix. The last victory for a Red car goes back to 2001 when Michael Schumacher led home team-mate Rubens Barrichello in a one-two finish.
