Other way perhaps
Graham Hill to Jackie Stewart at Monaco 1965
But I am wondering if they did have a 'Lap of honour' on a trailer at Monaco or did they go directly to presentation of trophies by the Prince and Princess?Duncan Rollo

No they didn't do a lap of honour on a trailer- it was the back of an open top limmo before meeting Their Serene Highnesses.
So I did some research and it wasn't a trailer anyway for the incident in my question. The 3 podium drivers were crammed in the back of a small engined sportscar, sitting on the boot with their feet on the back seat.
The 'clean' version of the story is: ' There I was waving at the crowd when suddenly X turned round, looked at me in astonishment and said "Don't tell me you finished 3rd".'
I prefer the 'after dinner' versionKris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

However,Richard MK has it - Hill to Redman 68 Spanish GP. In a race of only 5 classified finishers it is amazing the 3rd and 4th were Cooper-BRMs. Brian tells the story in a number of different ways, but having been in the paddock at Brands when, a less than happy, G Hill was explaining a problem to a mechanic I can vouch for the fact that colourful anglo-saxon invective was never far from his lips. If you ever get a chance to listen to Brian R in racconteur mode seize it. Some of my best Festival of Speed moments have been at the Dunlop stage listening to BRKris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!
