The 1972 Monaco Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at Monaco on May 14, 1972. The track was substantially modified from 1971, in the interest of safety. The pits were moved to the harbor front, between the chicane and Tabac, and a new chicane was placed near Tabac.[1] Jean-Pierre Beltoise's victory was the only one of his Formula One World Championship career, and the last for BRM.
