• Race : 1969 Monaco Grand Prix

The 1969 Monaco Grand Prix held at the Circuit de Monaco on 18th May, was the third round of the 1969 Formula One season and saw the surprise arrival of the double high-wing McLaren M7C. Bruce McLaren qualified 11th and finished the race in 5th.  In this race the wings survived, unlike the previous race in Spain.  Due to their dangerous potential, aerodynamic wings were banned after the Monaco race but would return, albeit under stricter regulations, at the next race.
