Jean Behra, (34) Maserati 250F and Alberto Ascari, (26) Lancia D50. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.

Jean Behra, at the wheel of his Maserati 250F (34), follows Alberto Ascari's Lancia D50 (26) through a corner during the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix. The two open-wheeled racing cars navigate the street circuit, which runs alongside the harbor, filled with moored boats and yachts. On the right, the track is lined with spectators and advertising banners for Bret-Oil and Esso. On the left, a few men watch the action from behind a makeshift barrier of sandbags, completing a scene that captures the classic atmosphere of mid-century motor racing.
