The works Lotus driver, Innes Ireland, pushes his car up the hill to Casino Square, hoping to restart it on the downhill section that follows. In the end he pushes the car the full lap and waits for the race to end.
Having walked that hill from Ste Devote and being puffed from the effort, the thought of pushing a car up as well fairly blows the mind. The hill looks gentle on tv but in real life is incredibly steep!
Well after he got to the top of the hill, he was able to coast quite a lot of the way to the finish line - had to push it through the tunnel mind. Waited by the finsh and then pushed it over when the winner had crossed the line - finished 7th, 9th in some sources but they include two runners who completed more laps than Ireland but failed to cross the finish line.
I am going to Monaco! To see the GP obviously!
