Jean Behra, (34) Maserati 250F, André Simon, (4) Mercedes-Benz W196. With the shadow of the gazomètre. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.

During the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, André Simon pilots his silver Mercedes-Benz W196 (No. 4) through a left-hand curve, leading Jean Behra in the vibrant magenta Maserati 250F (No. 34). The distinct shadow of the nearby gasometer is cast across the sunlit street circuit, where spectators watch from behind sandbags and low fences. In the background, the city is nestled at the base of a large, rocky mountain.
