At the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, Stirling Moss stands beside his Mercedes-Benz W196, number 6, after a broken oil line forced his retirement. Having led the field with teammate Juan Manuel Fangio for nearly the entire race, Moss managed to stop his open-wheel car in front of the pits. Dressed in light-colored overalls and a kidney belt, he looks toward the camera with one hand on his hip, as officials and photographers gather near the "CHRONOMETRAGE" timekeeping booth and the checkered start/finish line.
