The slowest time, approximately ten minutes, was recorded by Brabham, who pushed his (14) Cooper T43 from the tunnel all the way to the finishing line with a faulty fuel pump. This gallant effort was sufficient for him to claim sixth place as a down payment on a great future. Monaco Grand Prix 1957.
With a faulty fuel pump, Jack Brabham pushes his Cooper T43, car number 14, along the stone-paved city circuit during the 1957 Monaco Grand Prix. Visibly exerting effort, he maneuvers the open-wheel race car past advertising banners for BP and Shell. This determined push from the tunnel all the way to the finish line was sufficient to earn him sixth place as crowds of spectators looked on from the retaining walls and balconies above the track.
