The last race of this wonderful weekend, and of a long Sunday, was the G-Series, a vibrant tribute to Ayrton Senna in the presence of several members of his family (Bianca, Paola and Bruno who gave the cups and awards on the podium). And as luck would have it, a driver born in 1984, Briton Stuart Hall, won the race. In 1984, the year the Brazilian star began to rise in the F1 sky, during a memorable race in the Principality of Monaco that was interrupted by a deluge of rain. Forty years later, the sun was out and 39-year-old Stuart Hall let no one stop him from winning for the second time on Sunday. It was also his 5th win in a Monaco Grand Prix (Historique), following an inaugural success in 2016 and two more in 2022. On paper, he is now on a par with his glorious elder Graham Hill, a five-time F1 winner in the Principality in the last century. “I have to thank the stewards, because they did a fantastic job throughout the weekend”, emphasised the hero of the day, who has also made his mark in endurance racing, in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) and at Le Mans 24 Hours (4th in 2007). A very fine winner, in a March 821 which had never won at Monaco… until this Sunday. Thanks to the talent of its driver, it beat two Lotuses, those of Marco Werner and Michael Lyons, and three Tyrrells. Two reference brands and benchmarks in the long history of F1.
