Stewart Lewis-Evans, (10) Connaught B. With white hat Tony Vandervell, head of the Vanwall Formula One racing team. Monaco Grand Prix 1957. When Vandervell was asked why he ploughed his fortune into building a British Grand Prix team he said, dismissively, 'Some people play golf, I play cars.'

During the 1957 Monaco Grand Prix, Stewart Lewis-Evans pilots the Connaught B, car number 10, through a turn on the street circuit. Spectators watch from behind wooden barriers and sandbags, near signs for "TABAC" and "SOUVENIRS". In the foreground, hands on hips and back to the camera, stands Tony Vandervell, head of the Vanwall Formula One team, wearing a white hat. The low sun casts long shadows across the track.
