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.

Slumped in exhaustion against his N° 22 Lotus 18, Innes Ireland sits on the asphalt after pushing the car uphill to finish the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix. With his racing goggles pushed onto his forehead and his helmet on the ground, his bowed head and dirt-stained suit illustrate the immense physical effort required to cross the line. His perseverance was rewarded with a 9th-place finish and a single point for the world championship.
