29th May 1960: The Pit Stops That Decided Monaco
from Chequered Past · host Martin Elliot
On the twenty-ninth of May, Formula One has been decided in the pit lane more than once. In 1960, Stirling Moss brought a Rob Walker Lotus to the pits in Monaco running on three cylinders — and went on to win, delivering Lotus their first World Championship victory through a private entry in the wrong colours. In 2022, Charles Leclerc qualified on pole for his home race and lost it in two laps of strategic confusion that handed the race to Sergio Pérez and the season to Red Bull. And in 2016, a pit crew who weren’t ready cost Daniel Ricciardo a win he had controlled from the start.Hear all these stories in today’s Chequered Past.Send us Fan MailMusic by #Mubert Music Rendering
