Video: The most dramatic Monaco Grand Prix ever

The Monaco Grand Prix has long been regarded as one of Formula 1’s classic races. It was first held in 1929 and many of the sport’s legends have won around the punishing streets of Monte Carlo.

Podium: Race winner Riccardo Patrese, Brabham BT49D-Ford Cosworth, third place (later fifth place) Elio de Angelis, Lotus 91-Ford Cosworth, Princess Grace and Prince Rainier

It’s probably fair to say that Monaco doesn’t usually provide the most exciting race of the season, but every now and again it throws up a truly remarkable GP.

In 1982 a ridiculous finish left onlookers wondering if anyone was going to make it to the finish line. Kevin Turner recalls one of F1’s most dramatic events in the latest episode of our 'Short View Back to the Past' series.
