Richard Attwood’s Lotus 25 BRM lies overturned in the straw bales at the Gasometer hairpin during the 1965 Monaco Grand Prix. On lap 44, a broken rear suspension caused his car to shoot forward into the barrier, though Attwood himself was unhurt. In the immediate aftermath, the car's wheels point skyward amidst the hay, a loose tire resting on the asphalt. Behind advertising banners for Cinzano and Longlife, a vast crowd on the hillside observes as an official approaches the wreckage.
