Starting position: Jean Bera, (34) Maserati 250F. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.

On the starting grid for the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, Jean Behra sits in his Maserati 250F, number 34. Wearing his distinctive white helmet with a black checkerboard pattern, he listens as a mechanic leans over the side of the open-wheel racer for a final word. The car, fitted with Pirelli tires on its wire-spoke wheels, waits before a massive crowd of spectators. The steep, rocky hillside of the principality rises in the background, capturing the vibrant atmosphere moments before the start of the race.
