'Mr Monaco' Graham Hill recorded his fifth and final Monaco Grand Prix victory on this day in 1969.
The Briton's victory at the principality, his only one that season, was also the first for a driver wearing a full-face helmet in Formula 1 – an important landmark in the continuing evolution of driver safety.
Hill won in his Lotus 49 after Jackie Stewart and Chris Amon hit trouble ahead of him. Hill's record of five wins around the streets of Monaco is only bettered by Ayrton Senna. Yet it is Hill who still wears the title Mr Monaco.
