1970 Monaco Grand Prix Artwork
Artist Gulay Berryman paints a picture of the 1970 Monaco Grand Prix.
Round Sainte-Devote depicts the start of the 1970 Monaco Grand Prix with Jackie Stewart and Chris Amon leading the field into the legendary first corner of the circuit in their March 701 cars. Both Stewart and Amon would later fall out with mechanical troubles which would set the stage for one of the most extraordinary Formula One race finishes in history. With a nine-second deficit on race leader Jack Brabham (Brabham BT33) and just four laps to go, Jochen Rindt (Lotus 49 C) would drive furiously to close the gap to only a couple car lengths as they started the final lap. Nervously checking his rear-view mirror one last time, poor “Blackjack” Brabham misjudged his braking point going into the final Gasworks Hairpin corner and his car slid wide and into the hay bales.
