26th May 2024: The Race That Calls You Home
from Chequered Past · host Martin Elliot
Monaco doesn’t simply produce the fastest driver — it produces the one who belongs there. On the twenty-sixth of May, across 1963, 1968, 1974, 2002 and 2024, five races asked that question in five different ways. Graham Hill won here twice on this date, carrying a broken team through grief in 1968. Ronnie Peterson drove a four-year-old Lotus to victory over the finest cars of 1974. David Coulthard held off Michael Schumacher in Ferrari’s most dominant season. And in 2024, Charles Leclerc — Monégasque, haunted by near-misses, carrying the memory of people who never saw it — finally won his home race.Send us Fan MailMusic by #Mubert Music Rendering
