Henri Grandsire, (140) Stanguellini and Louis Chiron. Grand Prix Monaco Junior 1960. Grandsire played Michel Vaillant in the series of l'ORTF.

In the bustling pit area of the 1960 Monaco Junior Grand Prix, a smiling Henri Grandsire looks up from the cockpit of his number 140 Stanguellini. The young driver converses with racing veteran Louis Chiron, who leans in close, his hand resting on the open-wheel car. Grandsire, who would later gain fame portraying the fictional race car driver Michel Vaillant, listens intently before the race. In the background, a "DUNLOP" sign is visible in front of a grandstand filled with spectators.
