The Monaco GP, First Wonder of the Sporting World

The Monaco Grand Prix has been voted the First Wonder of the Sport World. This poll, conducted by Barclays Bank in the United Kingdom, favors F1 over Football. The survey, conducted over three weeks and questioning more than 3,500 Britons, aimed to elect the 7 wonders of the sports world.

The Principality of Monaco was thus elected by more than 18% of the votes. It is therefore the most beautiful sports venue for the English. The circuit, the only automotive representative on the list, thus surpasses football, which was also widely acclaimed.

The Camp Nou stadium, which belongs to the FC Barcelona team, comes second with 15% of the votes. The Bird’s Nest stadium in Beijing, used last summer for the Olympic Games, reaches the podium with 14% of the votes.

Three other football stadiums have been chosen: Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, San Siro in Milan, and Maracana in Rio de Janeiro. The Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia ranks as the 7th and last wonder of the world of sports.

According to the English, it is Wembley Stadium in London that receives the best public reviews on their island.
