Jean Alesi has explained the crash at the Monaco Historic GP that destroyed Niki Lauda’s 1970s Ferrari.
After not taking place in 2019, the Historic Grand Prix of Monaco was set to return last year but was ultimately cancelled as a result of the global pandemic.
The prestigious event finally went ahead again this year and featured a huge number of famous drivers and cars from Formula 1’s history.
One such driver was Alesi, and he lined up on the grid in the Ferrari 312B3 that Niki Lauda drove for the entirety of 1974, his first year with the Italian team, and for the first two races of his title-winning campaign in 1975.
