Ayrton Senna was in a class of his own at Monaco on this day in 1988. But with an advantage of almosat a minute, and with just 12 laps remaining, he clipped the Portier barrier and ended his race with 12 laps to go. Sometimes even our racing heroes meet cock-up corner...
Jochen Rindt's last lap at the 1970 Monaco Grand Prix was an obvious candidate for our Lap of the Gods series. The way Rindt stood the ageing Lotus 49 on its car to snatch victory at the final corner was as inspirational a piece of driving as is ever likely to be crammed into one lap. But it would all have come to nought or at least, second place – had it not been for Jack Brabham's astonishing mistake in the final few yards.
