Monaco Grand Prix 1973 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Stewart claimed his third Monaco Grand Prix victory with a masterclass in street circuit racing, cementing his reputation as Monaco's ultimate master. The Scottish driver's precision and concentration over 78 laps of the unforgiving principality streets showcased why he was considered the complete driver. Fittipaldi's second place demonstrated Lotus's continued competitiveness despite losing their technical edge, while Ronnie Peterson's third place marked the Swedish star's emergence as a championship contender. Peterson's spectacular driving style - sideways through corners with opposite lock - made him a fan favorite, though his aggressive approach sometimes cost him results through excessive tire wear or mechanical failures.
