British Racing Motors took its last Grand Prix victory at Monaco on 14 May 1972, a wet, cold afternoon on which Jean-Pierre Beltoise produced one of the great wet-weather drives in Formula One history. Driving a BRM P160 modified to suit a permanently injured arm, the Frenchman led every lap, finishing nearly forty seconds clear of Jacky Ickx's Ferrari. It was Beltoise's only championship win and the final triumph for the Bourne marque that had given Britain its first home-built F1 world title a decade earlier. Nicholas Watts, renowned for technical accuracy, captured the moment in print.
