On the seventh of May 1967, Denny Hulme won the Monaco Grand Prix. Not far behind him, Lorenzo Bandini was dying.
This episode is built around a date — the seventh of May — and four races across four decades that each forced Formula One to confront something it would rather have avoided. At the centre of it is Monaco 1967: the fire, the cameras, the race that didn't stop, and the sport that could no longer pretend.
