The race was won by Tazio Nuvolari of Italy, driving for the works Alfa Romeo team. He won by just 2.8 seconds from the privateer Alfa Romeo of Rudolf Caracciola, who, despite having a contract for 1932, was not yet part of the official works team. Caracciola might have had an opportunity to pass Nuvolari for the lead, after the Italian's car developed fuel pick-up issues, but he decided instead to remain behind the Alfa Romeo team leader. The 1931 Monaco Grand Prix runner-up Luigi Fagioli completed the podium in third for the Maserati team.http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/gp3202.htm#8 IV GRAND PRIX DE MONACO kolumbus.fi 5 October 2013 12 May 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210512081418/http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/gp3202.htm#8 dead thumb|Entry #4 was Earl Howe, leading before #10 Guy Bouriat.
