In the cockpit of her RSK-based Porsche Special, Maria Teresa de Filippis listens intently to Jean Behra. The Frenchman, recognizable by the plastic ear that was a reminder of an earlier accident, leans over the unpainted bodywork to offer advice. This moment of intense concentration was captured at the 1959 Monaco Grand Prix, a race for which de Filippis, driving the car known as the "Behra-Porsche," ultimately failed to qualify.
