Grand Prix of Monaco in 1972 will go down in history for two reasons, it was time for the first and only victory in Formula 1 Jean Pierre Beltoise and for the last of the glorious British brand BRM.La race was run in a real downpour and saw domination from start to finish of the French driver, pass it on the head with a lightning shot from the second row. Beltoise is not an outsider, is Formula 1 since 1966 and his best season was that of '69, when the Matra-Ford is a close fifth in the championship with 21 points and three arrivals podio.Peccato that Stewart, with the same machine, get six wins and the title in '72 campione.Quando get to BRM, is most famous Beltoise to have caused the year before in Buenos Aires the death of the promising Italian Ignazio Giunti with a wicked move in a race Sport.E Jean Pierre was a pilot, however, underestimated by the great sensitivity (he began as a motorcyclist) and skilled in the wet, so that win in Monaco from the acclaimed Rainmaker Ickx pulling nearly 40 secondi.Nei two years Beltoise run again for the BRM, in '73 with Lauda and Regazzoni as teammates throughout the season showing the most competitive, then in Ligier '75 passes to the newly developing new and promising in view of the 1976 car, but the place he will be snatched from the youngest Laffite putting an end to his career in equation 1.
