Chequered Past

7th May 1967: The Race That Burned


Listen Later

On the seventh of May 1967, Denny Hulme won the Monaco Grand Prix. Not far behind him, Lorenzo Bandini was dying.

This episode is built around a date — the seventh of May — and four races across four decades that each forced Formula One to confront something it would rather have avoided. At the centre of it is Monaco 1967: the fire, the cameras, the race that didn't stop, and the sport that could no longer pretend.
