A Happy Day for Ferrari
We had not visited the classic Monaco circuit since 2017. Only three teams answered the call to race at the Monaco GP this year.
Maki’s Walker held the poll position at the start sharing the first row with Ferrari’s Lauda. Fushida, in the#36 Maki, and Miller in the #38 Parnelli occupied the second row. The final row was filled by Andretti in the #27 Parnelli and Regazzoni in the #11 Ferrari.
Walker took an early lead and was closely shadowed by Lauda. Regazzoni meticulously weaved his way through the pack and into 3rd. Lauda passed Walker and was first through the tunnel and down the long back straight. Walker attempted to regain the lead in the last corner and crashed out of the race! Luckily he escaped injury and only his pride was hurt.
Lauda started the second lap with an insurmountable lead. Fushida, the remaining Maki driver, pressured Regazzoni for second place, but slipped back and then spun-out in the corner leading to the tunnel. Ferrari finished the second lap holding both 1st and 2nd positions. Andretti set his sites on Regazzoni.
