Mario Andretti. On the left Colin Chapman. Monaco Grand Prix 1978.

During the 1978 Monaco Grand Prix, Mario Andretti sits in the cockpit of his iconic black and gold John Player Special Lotus, which bears the number 5. The helmeted driver looks forward as a mechanic leans over to make adjustments. To the left, Team Lotus founder Colin Chapman observes the focused activity in the bustling pit lane. The car’s wide Goodyear tires and prominent Valvoline sponsorship on the front wing are characteristic of the period’s Formula 1 design.
