The sadness shown on the face of Fangio (right), Maria Teresa de Filippis, Piero Taruffi and Jean Behra was when it was annonced that Maria did not qualify for the Monaco Grand Prix 1959.

The palpable sadness of a shared disappointment at the 1959 Monaco Grand Prix. From left, drivers Jean Behra, Piero Taruffi, Maria Teresa de Filippis, and Juan Manuel Fangio react to the news that de Filippis has failed to qualify for the race. Behra rests a hand to his chin, the white-haired Taruffi looks on gravely, and Fangio strikes a pensive pose. At the center, de Filippis bows her head, the group’s intense concentration and somber expressions revealing the weight of the moment.
