Alberto Ascari, (40), Ferrari 125, Louis Chiron, (48), Maserati 4CLT, Johnny Claes, (6) Talbot Lago T26. The bend at the Gazomètre. Monaco Grand Prix 1950.

At the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix, Alberto Ascari in his Ferrari 125 (No. 40) navigates the Gazomètre bend, followed by Louis Chiron in a Maserati 4CLT and Johnny Claes in a Talbot Lago T26. Spectators watch from behind a low sandbag barrier as the cars speed along the road, which curves beside the harbor and its decorative stone balustrade. The city’s densely packed hillside provides a dramatic backdrop.
