1971 Monaco Grand Prix
Going Into This Race
Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Stewart won Spain to take the points lead from Andretti, who did not score.
Previous race
Spain: Stewart took the win from Ickx and Amon at Montjuïc in the first Formula One race to use slick tyres, introduced by Firestone. Regazzoni retired early with a fuel pump failure.
Entrants
Qualifying was run in extremely wet conditions, and it was Friday morning’s times that determined the grid. Andretti’s car was stranded out on the circuit during that session and he was unable to set a time — despite lying second in the championship, he will not start the race. Nanni Galli replaces Andrea de Adamich in the March-Alfa Romeo entry.
Milestones
This is the 200th World Championship Grand Prix since the championship began in 1950. Graham Hill starts his 127th Grand Prix, breaking the record of most Formula One starts previously held by Jack Brabham. Hill, a five-time Monaco winner, seeks a sixth victory at the circuit where he has been dominant throughout his career. Skip Barber makes his Formula One debut.
