King Gustav of Sweden, came to watch the trial runs in the pits, where he met Swedish driver Ronnie Peterson. Monaco Grand Prix 1978.

In the pits at the 1978 Monaco Grand Prix, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden meets with fellow Swede, driver Ronnie Peterson. The King, wearing a light-colored suit and sunglasses, stands with hands clasped as Peterson leans in his racing suit. The foreground is dominated by the rear of a black John Player Special Team Lotus car, its Ford-Cosworth V8 engine exposed for inspection. A nearby sign for the team lists Peterson as driver number 6, alongside Mario Andretti.
