Innes Ireland pushes his N° 22 Lotus 18 uphill and right around the twisting Monaco circuit so that he can finish the race. His effort was repaid when he got 9th place and one point for the world championship. Monaco Grand Prix 1960.

Dressed in a racing suit smudged with dirt, Innes Ireland sits on the asphalt, leaning against his N° 22 Lotus 18 during the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix. Taking a moment of rest, he drinks from a glass bottle while his helmet and goggles lie nearby. This scene of quiet exhaustion followed an extraordinary effort, as Ireland had to push his car uphill on the twisting circuit to finish the race. His determination secured him 9th place and one point for the world championship.
