I've just been thinking about the 1982 Monaco Grand Prix... I'm not sure that we'll ever see a race like it...  Rain in the final laps spelt the end of many leaders, and in the end, only 1 car actually finished the race distance...


1st: Riccardo Patrese - for his first ever win, but only after having spun the car on the damp track a couple of laps later

2nd Didier Pironi - But had run out of petrol on the final lap.  Had he not run out of petrol, he would have won

3rd Andrea de Cesaris - As with Pironi, he'd run out of petrol on the final lap and parked slightly less far round the lap

4th Nigel Mansell - Still running, albeit a lap adrift

5th Elio de Angelis - as with Mansell

6th Derek Daly - Had lost his rear wing in an accident, and only classified as completing 74 laps.

7th Alain Prost - Crashed out of the lead on the damp track


What an utterly chaotic race!


Which team is Lewis Hamilton driving for in 2025?
