Round 4 in F1’s 1972 season was a damp date in the principality. ‘Rainmaster’ Jacky Ickx, at the wheel of a Ferrari 312B2, would have enjoyed the conditions, finishing second. He was the only driver not to have been lapped by BRM’s Jean-Pierre Beltoise. It was Beltoise’s only F1 World Championship victory, and BRM’s last win.
