Stirling Moss, his face covered in grime, speaks with great intensity at the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix. After leading the field with Juan Manuel Fangio for nearly the entire race, a broken oil line forced his #6 Mercedes-Benz W196 to retire. Having stopped the car just in front of the pits, he is captured in a moment of raw emotion, a cigarette held between his fingers as concerned team members and officials surround him.
