Eugenio Castellotti, (30) Lancia D50, Alberto Ascari, (26) Lancia D50. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.
On the sun-drenched street circuit of the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, Eugenio Castellotti's Lancia D50 (No. 30) is a magenta blur of motion. To the right, Alberto Ascari navigates a corner in his bright red Lancia D50 (No. 26). Spectators watch from behind sandbags and a low hedge near a green "BP" sign. In the background, the city’s architecture climbs the hillside above a harbor filled with boats, with a craggy mountain looming behind.
