1963 Monaco Grand Prix
Pre-Race Report
Entrants
The Monaco Grand Prix carries the honorary title of European Grand Prix and opens the 1963 World Championship. Only five drivers are guaranteed a starting place — previous World Champions or former Monaco Grand Prix winners. The remaining eleven spots on the sixteen-car grid must be fought for in qualifying.
Chris Amon makes his Formula One World Championship debut for Reg Parnell Racing, though he is instructed during the final qualifying session to hand his car over to Maurice Trintignant, who holds a guaranteed starting berth but has suffered terminal issues with his own car. Bernard Collomb does not qualify despite the vacancy, failing to match the 1:40 benchmark set by the organisers.
