And it’s an early bath for Australian driver Paul Hawkins at the 1965 Monaco Grand Prix. Hawkins’ Lotus spun towards the end of the race and flipped over the edge of the quay. He escaped unhurt but his Climax-powered 33 had to be fished out. He is one of only two drivers to have ended up in the drink during the Monaco GP – the other was Alberto Ascari in ’55.
