Ultimostile Here's another Ultimosile rip-off; I found some rare TV footage from the 1965 formula 1 Grand Prix of Monaco. It was all very interesting but incoherent and full of static noise. So I've cleaned it up and now it's 1h45min worth of quite exciting motorracing.
Monaco fell on the same weekend as the Indianapolis 500 and as a result neither Jim Clark nor Dan Gurney entered for Monaco. The organizers and Team Lotus then got into a fight and the result was that the team withdrew - Colin Chapman had a rare talent to get into fights with the french!
Graham Hill took pole position in his BRM with Jack Brabham second. The second row consisted of Stewart and Ferrari's number two Lorenzo Bandini while John Surtees and Richard Attwood (in a Reg Parnell Racing Lotus) shared the third row. The fourth row featured Bruce McLaren's Cooper and Denny Hulme, making his F1 debut as a stand-in for Gurney at Brabham.
The two BRMs made the best starts and so Graham Hill led Stewart for the early part of the race chased by Bandini, Surtees, Brabham and McLaren. On lap 25 Hill was coming up to lap the private Brabham of Bob Anderson which was going very slowly because of a mechanical problem. Hill had to go up an escape road to avoid hitting the backmarker and he dropped to fifth place. Stewart led for the next four laps and then had a spin at Ste Devote and dropped to fourth, just ahead of Hill. This left Brabham in the lead, the Australian having worked his way up past the two Ferraris, but he went out with an engine failure soon afterwards and so Bandini was left ahead. While this was going on Hill was making progress, having passed Stewart and then Surtees. On lap 65 he took the lead from Bandini while Stewart closed on Surtees and took third place on lap 77. Two laps later there was a dramatic incident when Paul Hawkins spun his private Lotus at the chicane and went into the harbor. He emerged unhurt.
Hill duly recorded his third consecutive Monaco victory.
