It was race 2 of 9 in both the 1962 World Championship of Drivers and the 1962 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers. The 100-lap race was won by Cooper driver Bruce McLaren after he started from third position. Phil Hill finished second for the Ferrari team and his teammate Lorenzo Bandini came in third. Report Lotus's Jim Clark claimed the first pole position of his career, ahead of BRM's Graham Hill, Cooper's Bruce McLaren and Ferrari's Willy Mairesse. The organisers guaranteed two spots on the grid for each of the 5 works teams, leaving six grid spots for the remaining entries to fight over. This explains why some drivers with faster qualifying times failed to qualify whereas drivers with slower times qualified.Lang Mike Grand Prix! Vol 1 1981 Haynes Publishing Group 0-85429-276-4 200 Mairesse got an excellent start from fourth on the grid and led into the first corner, the Gasworks hairpin, but braked too late and skidded around it. The concertina effect of the cars behind trying to avoid Mairesse's skidding car led to a collision further behind which eliminated Dan Gurney, Maurice Trintignant and Richie Ginther. A marshal, Ange Baldoni, was killed by the dislodged right rear wheel of Richie Ginther's BRM when it collided with the Lotuses of Maurice Trintignant, Innes Ireland and Trevor Taylor, as well as Dan Gurney's Porsche at the Gasometer hairpin on lap 1. McLaren and Graham Hill both passed Mairesse on the exit of Gasworks hairpin; the New Zealander ended the first lap in the lead from the Englishman. Meanwhile, Mairesse spun at the station hairpin on the first lap, dropping down the order. McLaren led until the seventh lap when he was passed by Graham Hill; the BRM driver held the lead all the way until lap 92, when an engine failure handed the lead back to McLaren who held on to win ahead of Ferrari's Phil Hill, who recovered from a spin earlier in the race. Hill's Ferrari team mate Lorenzo Bandini completed the podium places.https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-1962/20/xx-grand-prix-of-monaco 1962 Monaco Grand Prix race report: Kiwi survives hunting red shark July 1962 Motorsport Magazine Denis Jenkinson Classification Qualifying PosNoDriverConstructorQualifying timesGapQ1Q2Q31 18 GBR Jim Clark Lotus-Climax1:37.42:07.21:35.4—2 10 GBR Graham Hill BRM1:37.71:58.31:35.8 +0.43 14 NZL Bruce McLaren Cooper-Climax1:39.12:23.71:36.4 +1.0440BEL Willy MairesseFerrari1:48.21:59.41:36.4 +1.05 4 USA Dan Gurney Porsche1:38.22:22.41:36.4 +1.0622AUS Jack BrabhamLotus-Climax1:39.1No time1:36.5 +1.1730FRA Maurice TrintignantLotus-Climax1:41.82:04.71:36.8 +1.4834GBR Innes IrelandLotus-Climax1:39.92:07.41:37.0 +1.69 36 USA Phil Hill Ferrari1:38.02:01.01:37.1 +1.710 38 ITA Lorenzo Bandini Ferrari1:42.22:01.3 1:37.2 +1.81128GBR John SurteesLola-Climax1:37.92:22.31:44.9 +2.51226GBR Roy SalvadoriLola-Climax1:40.1No time1:38.5 +3.11346CHE Jo SiffertLotus-Climax1:48.02:01.31:38.9 +3.514 8 USA Richie Ginther BRM1:44.92:04.51:39.0 +3.61524GBR Jackie LewisBRM1:40.52:23.91:39.0 +3.61632USA Masten GregoryLotus-BRM1:39.82:03.51:39.2 +3.817 20 GBR Trevor Taylor Lotus-Climax1:40.02:11.01:43.2 +4.61838MEX 1934 Ricardo RodríguezFerrari1:40.12:00.8No time +4.719 2 SWE Jo Bonnier Porsche1:43.52:05.71:42.4 +7.020 16 ZAF 1928 Tony Maggs Cooper-Climax1:43.32:05.51:42.7 +7.32144NLD Carel Godin de BeaufortPorsche1:45.92:07.41:44.4 +9.02242ITA Nino VaccarellaLotus-ClimaxNo time2:01.8No time +26.4Source:http://www.chicanef1.com/race.pl?year=1962&gp=Monaco%20GP&r=1&type=qual 1962 Monaco GP chicanef1.com 11 July 2020 lightblue Drivers that had to qualify on speed: only the six fastest would race.
