Cleanup needed
The race summary needs cleanup. IMO, it doesn't sound encyclopedic. Carn29 21:03, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

It is not true that de Cesaris led the race when he ran out out petrol. Truth is that the would have taken the lead from Didier Pironi, who stopped in the tunnel without fuel in the last lap. But de Cesaris stopped at the same time without fuel in the last lap already at the casino.

Does anyone really KNOW how Riccardo Patrese had been able to re-start his car? I have just read the german motorsport magazine 'auto motor und sport' in which the author stated that in fact Patrese could not bump-start his engine by rolling downhill but that Patrese had been push-started by track marshals. Luckily no TV camera covered Patrese's re-start, so there was no evidence for a potential disqualification. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.170.203.128 (talk) 22:17, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes - from the official Riccardo Patrese website;


 * "That left Patrese in the lead - briefly. On lap 75 the Italian spun at the approach to Station Hairpin, coming to rest across the road, engine dead … Patrese was on the move again. His Brabham was judged to be in a dangerous place, and therefore allowed a push from the marshalls. Down the hill from Station Hairpin Riccardo found a gear, let out the clutch and was away."


 * (There was a rule - no longer in effect - that a car in a dangerous place could be pushed by marshals).

Poignancy for Pironi
The race is often presented to fans comedically due to how it ended, but it should be stated that victory for Pironi who failed very near the end of it whilst leading (all other things being equal) ultimately would have delivered the World Title to him (champion Rosberg 44 and Pironi 39 with 9 points for a win). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr gobrien (talk • contribs) 15:47, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
