Stewart Lewis-Evans, (10) Connaught B. With white hat Tony Vandervell, head of the Vanwall Formula One racing team. Monaco Grand Prix 1957. When Vandervell was asked why he ploughed his fortune into building a British Grand Prix team he said, dismissively, 'Some people play golf, I play cars.'

During the 1957 Monaco Grand Prix, Stewart Lewis-Evans pilots the number 10 Connaught B up an incline on the street circuit. In the foreground, Tony Vandervell, head of the Vanwall Formula One racing team, stands in a white hat with his hands on his hips, observing the action. The track curves uphill to the left, lined with a barrier of wooden posts and sandbags that separates the car from a large crowd of spectators. In the background, signs for "TABAC" and "SOUVENIRS" are faintly visible.
