The Scottish F1 driver is regarded as one of the best drivers in the history of the sport. He won 2 Wolrd Championships during the course of his career, in 1962 and 1964.

He has 25 wins and 32 podium finishes under his name but, he's never won at Monaco. In fact, the Scotsman never even earned a podium finish. His best result came in 1964, which was 4th.

Clark started Monaco in pole position thrice but, failed every single time. In 1963, he led half the race but, retired due to a gearbox failure.

The Brazillian Formula 1 driver is a two-time World Champion (1972, 1974). During his 10-year career, he managed to earn 14 Grand Prix wins and 35 podium finishes but, unfortunately, Monaco was never in the picture.

Fittipaldi finished on the podium in 4 consecutive seasons but, failed to win it every single time. In 1975, the Brazillian came closest to winning the coveted Grand Prix but, sadly could not overtake Nikkia Lauda in the McLaren.

He then moved to his own team - Fittipaldi Automotive - and ever since, failed to come close to winning the Monaco GP.
