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

Stirling Moss pilots his silver Mercedes-Benz W196, number 6, around a turn on the street circuit during the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix. The distinctive shadow of the Gazomètre falls across the asphalt as Moss, wearing a white helmet and goggles, passes spectators and sandbag barriers. The harbor in the background is filled with yachts and sailboats, with the coastal town visible on the distant hillsides. A small Union Jack adorns the side of the open-wheeled racing car.
