Monaco is close, peeps!
So here are a few Monaco Grand Prix posters for your pleasure, sadly in low resolution.
The 1967 poster hangs proudly on my bedroom wall, I’m eager to get my hands on a few more. I need a bigger apartment though :)

The great Tazio Nuvolari, a fearless and amazing driver that shaped the profile of modern racing drivers.
This was taken during the Monza Grand Prix of 1934, the car seems to be a Maserati 6C, but I might be wrong.
Back in 1934, the competing GP brands were mainly Mercedes-Benz, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Bugatti and Auto-Union.

Jean-Pierre Beltoise / Matra MS11 / Nurburgring, 1968
Beltoise would retire this race due to an accident. Meanwhile, Jackie Stewart raced towards both the finish line and a god-like status, winning the race with a broken wrist.
Stuff that’s awesome:
Carlos Pace getting a ride on Ronnie Peterson’s March 721, during the practice for the 1972 French Grand Prix.
Fangio, Kling & Ascari, Reims Grand Prix, 1954.
The first two on the W196 Benz and Ascari on the Maserati 250F.
The noisy start of the 1968 Belgian Grand Prix.
Bruce McLaren took 1st place, and only 5 of the 23 cars that started managed to reach the finish line.
Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill & Dan Gurney,
At the 1966 Belgian Grand Prix, Spa. Probably having the most informal of conversations.

- Jochen Rindt & Richie Grint (Cooper-Maserati)

The GP was won by John Surtees. Footage from this event was eventually used on the Grand Prix movie by John Frankenheimer.
