Stirling Moss, (6) Mercedes-Benz W196. With the shadow of the Gazomètre. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.

At the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, Stirling Moss pilots his number 6 Mercedes-Benz W196 along the street circuit bordering the harbor. The light-colored car, captured in motion blur under the shadow of the Gazomètre, speeds past spectators watching from behind a sandbag barrier. To the far left, a photographer leans against an ornate iron fence, aiming his camera at the passing vehicle. Across the water, advertising signs, including one for "Bret-Oil," are visible along the quayside.
