Mike Hawthorn, (18) Vanwall VW I, Giuseppe "Nino" Farina, (42) Ferrari 625. With the shadow of the Gazomètre. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.

Mike Hawthorn, in his dark green Vanwall VW I (18), leads Giuseppe "Nino" Farina's red Ferrari 625 (42) around a sunlit bend during the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix. The street circuit, cast in the shadow of the Gazomètre, is lined with spectators behind low hedges and makeshift barriers of hay bales. In the background, a "Mobilgas" sign is visible against the classic architecture of the harborside city, built into the steep, rocky hillside.
