This was the last race on the original Monaco circuit, as a dedicated pit lane was created along the harbor before Tabac in 1972.

[1] Events of the race are captured in the documentary film Weekend of a Champion in which Roman Polanski shadows Jackie Stewart.

Chris Amon stalled on the grid and Graham Hill - seeking a 6th Monaco win - made a rare mistake, hitting the wall at Tabac on the 2nd lap.

Stewart extended his lead from Siffert and Ickx, despite being painfully ill from fumes leaking into the cockpit.

The Who used parts of the Grand Prix and showed Jackie Stewart in the music video for the song "Baba O'Riley".
