Monaco Grand Prix 1970 by Michael Turner on linen vintage poster

The official poster for the 1970 Monaco Grand Prix was created by the renowned artist Michael Turner. This artwork showcases the intense action of Formula 1 racing, with the McLaren M7A leading the iconic Gold Leaf Lotus 49. The dynamic illustration captures the thrilling atmosphere of racing through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo, highlighting the elegance and speed of the cars in one of the most prestigious events on the Formula 1 calendar.

Measuring approximately 60 x 40 cm (23 x 15 inches), the poster was printed using offset lithography by J. Ramel in Nice and Imprimerie Monegasque in Monte Carlo. Its vibrant design and historical significance make it a sought-after piece for motorsport enthusiasts and collectors alike.

The 1970 Monaco Grand Prix, held on May 10, marked the third round of the Formula 1 World Championship. Jochen Rindt claimed victory in his Lotus 49C-Ford after a dramatic final-lap pass. Jack Brabham finished second in his Brabham BT33-Ford, and Henri Pescarolo took third place in a Matra MS120. The race, which covered 80 laps of the 3.145 km (1.954 mi) street circuit, was a true test of skill and strategy, with Rindt’s remarkable performance capping a thrilling event.
