Jenson Button won the Formula One Grand Prix of Monaco on Sunday, 24 May. It was the fifth race out of six this season (83%) in which the driver starting in pole position had gone on to win.
- If this pattern continues, the 2009 Grand Prix season will break the record for most F1 races won from pole position.
- In 1991, a record 12 of the 16 F1 races (75%) were won by the driver beginning on pole.
- Monaco is the Grand Prix won most frequently from pole position. Twenty-three of the 56 Monaco Grands Prix have been won by the qualification winner.
