Enjoy this video as a stunning Ferrari 246S Dino F1 car slid to pole position at the 2022 Monaco Historic Grand Prix with Alex Birkenstock at the wheel hustling the beautiful red machine for all it was worth. Racing in a category for Formula 1 cars from before 1961 the Ferrari was up against cars including Maserati 250Fs, Connaughts, Lotuses and more, but set pole by nearly two-tenths of a second thanks to this brilliant lap.
That’s the ex-Phil Hill, 1960 Italian GP-winning Ferrari! So nice to see it working as intended, powersliding every corners!

Organized by the Automobile Club de Monaco, the Monaco Historic Grand Prix remains a true testament to the Principality’s passion for motorsports. The first event back in 1997 was designed to mark the 700th anniversary of the Dynasty of the Princes of Monaco. It returned for the new millennium in 2000, before becoming a regular event held every second year. Initially, thirty or so racing cars were presented. Now, more than 200 come to dazzle the assembled spectators, reflecting how the Monaco Historic Grand Prix has grown in stature in motor-racing over the years.
