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 :)

This is Tazio Nuvolari, running in the Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 at the 1932 Monaco Grand Prix.
Monaco Grand Prix, 1965.
Lorenzo Bandini (Ferrari), Graham Hill (BRM), John Surtees (Ferrari).
Jean Pierre Beltoise / BRM P160B
During the 1972 Monaco Grand Prix, Beltoise would become a different man, knowing no limits for what he and his BRM could take.
During heavy and thick rain, Beltoise managed to finally get his well deserved win in Formula 1.

Lotus 80 (1979, Monaco)
When Chapman designed the Lotus 80, he wanted to take the ground effect (which had worked brilliantly in the 79) a level further.
The whole car was designed to work like a huge wing, developing massive amounts of downforce. In theory, it should have been great — but it wasn’t. Andretti found it to be undriveable, and for the rest of the season Lotus were back to the good ol’ 79.
Dan Gurney during the Monaco Grand Prix, 1968.
Driving the glorious Eagle-Weslake T1G.
—Have a nice Monday :)
1967 Monaco Grand Prix
Absolute carnage in the streets of Monaco, when Bandini had his fatal crash. I believe this is Chris Amon in the Ferrari 312 witnessing the flames.
