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

At the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, Mike Hawthorn in the dark green Vanwall VW I, number 18, pulls slightly ahead of Giuseppe "Nino" Farina's Ferrari 625, number 42. The long shadows of the open-wheel racers stretch across the sunlit asphalt of the street circuit, joined by the unmistakable silhouette of the Gazomètre. Beyond the trackside barriers, spectators watch as the dense, light-colored buildings of Monaco rise steeply from the waterfront.
