Mike Hawthorn, (18) Vanwall VW I, Giuseppe "Nino" Farina, (42) Ferrari 625. With the shadow of the Gazomètre. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.

Mike Hawthorn, in his dark green Vanwall VW I (18), leads Giuseppe "Nino" Farina's Ferrari 625 (42) during the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix. The two open-cockpit racing cars navigate the sun-drenched circuit, casting long shadows on the asphalt alongside the prominent shadow of the Gazomètre. In the background, the dense cityscape rises up the tree-dotted hillside, with spectators and period advertisements lining the trackside barrier.
