Alberto Ascari, (40) Ferrari 125, Giuseppe "Nino" Farina, (32) Alfa Romeo 158 Alfetta, Toulo de Graffenried, (52) Maserati 4CLT, Franco Rol, (44) Maserati 4CLT. Monaco Grand Prix 1950.
At the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix, a line of open-wheel cars is brought to a standstill on the city street circuit. Alberto Ascari, in his No. 40 Ferrari 125, sits at the head of the stationary queue. Further down the track, Giuseppe "Nino" Farina's No. 32 Alfa Romeo 158 Alfetta is stopped at an odd angle. Spectators fill every available vantage point, peering from the balconies and terraces of Belle Époque buildings, including the Beau-Rivage hotel, to observe the unfolding events on the palm-lined course.
